	♥ 9:20pm chris_in_space: @ultradamno beauty

	9:31pm javakid: www.espn.com...
	♥ 9:32pm mariano: Oh man, thought you'd at least play some Triumph.
	♥ 9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Molson's, Labatt's or other?
	♥ 9:32pm Matt Fiveash: Glorious and free!
	9:33pm Marc Francis: Tremblay.
	9:34pm Bob from Kingston ON: @KenFromHydePark Beau's Lug Tread is the best Canadian craft brew.
	9:34pm Marc Francis: A 15 pack for $16
	♥ 9:34pm ultradamno: Molson is Coors.
	9:36pm Marc Francis: Best craft brew is from Dieu du ciel.
	9:36pm Marc Francis: CANCON
	9:37pm Bob from Kingston ON: @MarcFrancis Where is that beer from?
	♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: Canada did give us the most likable flat earther in Dave Foley.
	9:39pm Marc Francis: @BobFromKingston: It's from Montreal. I love Beau's but Dieu du ciel has won a shitload of awards globally.
	9:41pm yippie: helix
	9:41pm Marc Francis: @BobFromKingston: I live fairly close to Beau's and used to (pre-pandemic) drive out there for fun. I love Tremblay the best though. It's cheap tasting and cheap in price!
	9:42pm Bob from Kingston ON: @MarcFrancis Can I get it from a beer store in Ontario?
	♥ 9:43pm chris_in_space: @Bob from Kingston ON @KenFromHydePark @Marc Francis sorry, it's Oast Barnraiser
	♥ 9:44pm Handy Haversack: "The entry of an unshot skeet into the sea is edge-first, and silent, and sad." -- DFW
	9:45pm Jason From Baker Street: Please play side two of INXS' Kick LP. Twice, if possible.
	9:45pm javakid: @Handy is there a footnote for that quote?
	9:46pm Marc Francis: Bob from Kingston ON: I am googling now and it doesn't seem so both Dieu du ciel wise and Tremblay wise!
	9:48pm Marc Francis: I know Tremblay is brewed now at St Ambroise/McAuslan. They also brew much of Moosehead for around here. I did randomly find a Dieu du ciel in Atlanta once...
	♥ 9:48pm chris_in_space: @efd that's the way everyone says their name here. Lovin' this new single.
	9:48pm Layet Johnson: Dang teenanger sounds great
	♥ 9:49pm Handy Haversack: @javakid: "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again." And it was on the back of the program of the memorial service I went to for him at NYU, which shocked me because it was one of my favorite lines ever written.
	♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: I think it's pronounced Teen Ang Grrrrrrr
	9:52pm Ben London: you going to play some Chilliwack or headpins?
	9:52pm Bob from Kingston ON: chris_in_space Can you get the beer at the Beer Store in Ontario?
	♥ 9:53pm chris_in_space: @Bob from Kingston ON no. LCBO.
	♥ 9:53pm efd: ha, couldn't fit them in this time, Ben (although I did have a Chilliwack song in mind, at least)
	9:54pm P-90: That Hitler. Just when you think his career is dead, he pops up again...
	♥ 9:54pm Handy Haversack: I have spent a couple of fun nights in Chilliwack! Agritourism!
	9:55pm Joe B: greetings efd and all
	♥ 9:55pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Joe B!
	9:56pm Capt. Dullard: Whew! Just in from the backyard. Catching fireflies and burning catholic books.
	9:57pm Andres: I was going to make a comment earlier about it being a bummer that there are no fireworks this year, but then the people took into their own hands and it has been a non stop bombardment from all directions since just after the show started.
	♥ 9:57pm efd: hiya Joe! You're just in time to hear a band you might want to play on your show sometime... coming up next!
	9:58pm Joe B: ha! thanks for the tip efd!
	9:58pm Peter from Dover NJ: Well, that was a great tune to hear getting outta work.
	♥ 9:59pm Handy Haversack: You see, Joe, if it's a pop song that rocks -- or a rock song that pops ... !
	9:59pm Joe B: Exactly HH!
	♥ 9:59pm Aitch: Reach for the sky a bit special.
	10:00pm Capt. Dullard: Reach for the sky. Am I being robbed?
	♥ 10:03pm Chop Scott: Joe Belock--The People's Champ!
	10:08pm Sybil: EFD there will never be baseball again I cannot
	10:09pm dano59: Heard some of the Rue Morgue last wkd via TopT - i dig it!
	♥ 10:10pm efd: it's definitely looking grim Sybil!
	10:10pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and peoples.
	♥ 10:11pm Handy Haversack: To be honest, as much as I love baseball, I'd rather MLB disappear than get to risk the lives if hundreds of clubbies, grounds crew, and even players just so the owners don't detect a slight dip in revenue. Baseball forever. MLB fornever.
	10:11pm Sybil: Yup
	10:11pm Carmichael: Sorry, I have to say “ugh”!
	10:13pm Sybil: Ugh is about right Carmichael
	10:16pm Sybil: Handy Haversack, you are so on oint.
	♥ 10:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Catching some efd for a change!
	♥ 10:18pm efd: change is good, RevRabbit!
	♥ 10:18pm efd: and yes Handy, I agree
	♥ 10:19pm Handy Haversack: efd d m ! Hey, RevRabN63!
	10:19pm Carmichael: Happy to report it’s in the low 90s here, very low humidity. Splashy splashy ...
	♥ 10:20pm efd: enjoy the cold snap, Carmichael!
	♥ 10:28pm radioronan: These Canadians are a little tricky. I thought Pottery was from the uk and Sloan was from the us..Pottery I don't feel as duped by coz they haven't been around that long. But Sloan? Almost 30 years masquerading as american in my mind. Geez, I'm glad that has been straightened out. thanks efd.
	♥ 10:30pm Handy Haversack: Happy Canada Day, radioronan!
	♥ 10:34pm radioronan: Same to you Handy! In fact, I think there will be some fireworks at 2am to celebrate. See ya up on the roof!
	♥ 10:35pm Handy Haversack: I hope there are multiple helicopters. I have forgotten how to enjoy things without multiple helicopters.
	♥ 10:35pm mariano: See, this is how loud I like the drums in the mix.
	10:37pm Carmichael: I may have to wear long shorts ...
	10:37pm phat: nailed it!
	10:37pm Carmichael: The robot dance seems appropriate here.
	10:42pm Steve: Go for it, Carmichael!
	♥ 10:43pm ultradamno: Messer Chups have a great robot dance song on one of their recent Bandcamp. Speaking of which, Zombierella in a Morricone Island T twitter.com...
	♥ 10:43pm mndave: "i've felt my body happening to people on the street" - that is a line
	♥ 10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot Robyn Hitchcock one sec.
	10:45pm Steve: Native Cats sound like The Fall
	10:45pm Stevel: RRN63: Perhaps RH making out with MES?
	♥ 10:46pm efd: there's a lot of that going around, Steve
	♥ 10:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fronting Fall...in Canada?
	♥ 10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I never made out with MES.
	♥ 10:48pm PaulRobeson1920: I’d like to run, run, run for the roses too
	♥ 10:52pm Handy Haversack: If we have a few thousand generations of bands influenced by the Fall, I call that a win.
	♥ 10:56pm ultradamno: Still some little Wires or Desperate Bicycles would be nice.
	♥ 10:59pm ultradamno: Definitely not big on final g's
	♥ 10:59pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Desperate Bicycles!
	♥ 11:04pm Aitch: 17yrs + Blondie >/= Mongrel
	11:07pm Stevel: Oh my. I’m in love again. I remember seeing Blondie on Midnight Special, wearing a horizontal black and white dress. At one point she “looked me up and down “, (along with millions of others, of course. ) I was moved. Deeply moved.
	11:09pm Stevel: Control Top! They’re kicking ass, politically, these day. Inspiring.
	♥ 11:11pm Handy Haversack: Control Top! Last show we saw before It All Went Wrong. Looking forward to the album on the car CD player tomorrow once we're out of WFMU range. Oh, also, what's a better route for coverage, the Thruway or the Taconic? Pls. say Taconic!
	♥ 11:12pm Handy Haversack: (This is that band Rex is always talking about.)
	11:13pm Stevel: Handy: They were the first show I missed when it all went wrong!
	♥ 11:13pm efd: lol Handy
	♥ 11:14pm efd: @Handy I refer to this 2013 map: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:14pm Handy Haversack: Stevel, I remember that, actually -- you will see them one day!
	♥ 11:14pm efd: coincidentally I posted it on Michele's playlist the other day
	♥ 11:17pm Handy Haversack: I sure prefer the Taconic, though ... we might stick with the Taconic and all the new Bandcamp CDs plan ... Thanks, efd!
	11:19pm Carmichael: RIP Johnny Mandel. Has he ever been played here?
	♥ 11:24pm Handy Haversack: That was a weird weekend. They canceled the Tartan Day Parade but FMU hadn't canceled Eyelids yet, and we were like, "Oh, good, we can still just go to JC! For waffles!" And then everything, you know, hardened.
	♥ 11:24pm nickybones: i love this primo record. just heard it last night for the 1st time.
	♥ 11:24pm efd: oh right, waffles not pancakes!
	♥ 11:25pm efd: @Carmichael not sure how specific you're being with "here," but I'm pretty sure I haven't played any of his work on my show. I bet he's had airplay elsewhere on WFMU though.
	♥ 11:26pm efd: @nickybones yeah, it's great! Another winner from Upset! The Rhythm!
	11:27pm Carmichael: I meant FMU, sorry. I figured so, as yous guys are an eclectic bunch. I was just daydreaming about which dj would spin that wax.
	♥ 11:29pm nickybones: and LITHICS, which reminds me i still need to hear their live set from yr show! i'm staring at the Firefox tab right now! haha
	♥ 11:30pm efd: there is definitely way more to listen to than there are hours in the day
	♥ 11:31pm Handy Haversack: Though, efd, about the map -- usually 91.9 is clearer here in North Brooklyn. No Manhattan in the way. I also like that it shows the Harlem River at its pre-dredging low-tide levels!
	♥ 11:31pm nickybones: @efd. a good "problem," but i'm overwhelmed nonetheless!
	♥ 11:32pm Eddy in Australia: Primo! - another winner from Melbourne! (Lurking tonight, hi all.)
	11:34pm Carmichael: Primo live up to their name.
	♥ 11:34pm efd: ha, hi Eddy!
	♥ 11:36pm mariano: Hey Eddy. Was about to say, there's so much good stuff coming out of Australia. I really love that Primo! track. The whole show has created the perfect mood for the evening, efd.
	♥ 11:37pm Chop Scott: @nickybones: also to honor Canada I point out that Sloan played a live set for EFD!
	♥ 11:38pm Handy Haversack: What Mariano said! But also, dag, efd, I can't afford to put anything else in the Bandcamp cart for Friday. But dag! Cloud Factory sounds so good. (And Primo!)
	♥ 11:39pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, Nick, SteveL, shout-outed Handy, and all you other hosers!
	11:40pm Stevel: Jack: I resemble that remark
	♥ 11:40pm Handy Haversack: Hose off, Jack. (Hi, Jack!)
	♥ 11:41pm nickybones: @Chop Scott: I think I heard that one, but I'll add it to my tabs anyway, because SLOAN RULE. Happy Canada Day!
	♥ 11:41pm mariano: Now I want back bacon.
	♥ 11:41pm nickybones: Hello, @hobokenjack, my good buddy!
	11:43pm Carmichael: Take off, hoser.
	♥ 11:44pm Eddy in Australia: @Mariano Yep, between the Anti Fade label (based just outside Melbourne) and the Primo!/Terry scene (several shared members) alone, there is a lot of great music here. And Evan has all of it covered.
	11:45pm Layet Johnson: Your show has ROCKED tonight, Evan!
	♥ 11:46pm Handy Haversack: Kate: "Wizard is about to die"!
	♥ 11:49pm efd: thanks muchly, Layet!
	11:49pm GListener MW: !!! new Cult Figures track? Amazing!!!
	♥ 11:53pm Handy Haversack: Another home run for the people, efd! Thanks so much -- and to your Skeleton!
	♥ 11:56pm efd: thanks for listening, everyone! And thank you SkeleScott!
	11:56pm Stevel: Thanks everyone. You know who you are!
	♥ 11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: THX efd
	♥ 11:58pm mariano: Thank you efd and crew, take care everyone!
	11:59pm Joe B: thanks efd and scott

	♥ 9:20pm chris_in_space: @ultradamno beauty
	♥ 9:20pm ultradamno: I think of The Snakes cover of their theme song, which is kind of what lead me to look into them.

	♥ 9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Molson's, Labatt's or other?
	♥ 9:32pm Matt Fiveash: Glorious and free!
	9:33pm Marc Francis: Tremblay.
	9:34pm Bob from Kingston ON: @KenFromHydePark Beau's Lug Tread is the best Canadian craft brew.
	9:34pm Marc Francis: A 15 pack for $16
	♥ 9:34pm ultradamno: Molson is Coors.
	9:36pm Marc Francis: Best craft brew is from Dieu du ciel.
	9:36pm Marc Francis: CANCON
	9:37pm Bob from Kingston ON: @MarcFrancis Where is that beer from?
	♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: Canada did give us the most likable flat earther in Dave Foley.
	9:39pm Marc Francis: @BobFromKingston: It's from Montreal. I love Beau's but Dieu du ciel has won a shitload of awards globally.
	9:41pm yippie: helix
	9:41pm Marc Francis: @BobFromKingston: I live fairly close to Beau's and used to (pre-pandemic) drive out there for fun. I love Tremblay the best though. It's cheap tasting and cheap in price!
	9:42pm Bob from Kingston ON: @MarcFrancis Can I get it from a beer store in Ontario?
	♥ 9:43pm chris_in_space: @Bob from Kingston ON @KenFromHydePark @Marc Francis sorry, it's Oast Barnraiser
	♥ 9:44pm Handy Haversack: "The entry of an unshot skeet into the sea is edge-first, and silent, and sad." -- DFW
	9:45pm Jason From Baker Street: Please play side two of INXS' Kick LP. Twice, if possible.
	9:45pm javakid: @Handy is there a footnote for that quote?
	9:46pm Marc Francis: Bob from Kingston ON: I am googling now and it doesn't seem so both Dieu du ciel wise and Tremblay wise!
	9:48pm Marc Francis: I know Tremblay is brewed now at St Ambroise/McAuslan. They also brew much of Moosehead for around here. I did randomly find a Dieu du ciel in Atlanta once...
	♥ 9:48pm chris_in_space: @efd that's the way everyone says their name here. Lovin' this new single.
	9:48pm Layet Johnson: Dang teenanger sounds great
	♥ 9:49pm Handy Haversack: @javakid: "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again." And it was on the back of the program of the memorial service I went to for him at NYU, which shocked me because it was one of my favorite lines ever written.
	♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: I think it's pronounced Teen Ang Grrrrrrr
	9:52pm Ben London: you going to play some Chilliwack or headpins?
	9:52pm Bob from Kingston ON: chris_in_space Can you get the beer at the Beer Store in Ontario?
	♥ 9:53pm chris_in_space: @Bob from Kingston ON no. LCBO.
	♥ 9:53pm efd: ha, couldn't fit them in this time, Ben (although I did have a Chilliwack song in mind, at least)
	9:54pm P-90: That Hitler. Just when you think his career is dead, he pops up again...
	♥ 9:54pm Handy Haversack: I have spent a couple of fun nights in Chilliwack! Agritourism!
	9:55pm Joe B: greetings efd and all
	♥ 9:55pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Joe B!
	9:56pm Capt. Dullard: Whew! Just in from the backyard. Catching fireflies and burning catholic books.
	9:57pm Andres: I was going to make a comment earlier about it being a bummer that there are no fireworks this year, but then the people took into their own hands and it has been a non stop bombardment from all directions since just after the show started.
	♥ 9:57pm efd: hiya Joe! You're just in time to hear a band you might want to play on your show sometime... coming up next!
	9:58pm Joe B: ha! thanks for the tip efd!
	9:58pm Peter from Dover NJ: Well, that was a great tune to hear getting outta work.
	♥ 9:59pm Handy Haversack: You see, Joe, if it's a pop song that rocks -- or a rock song that pops ... !
	9:59pm Joe B: Exactly HH!
	♥ 9:59pm Aitch: Reach for the sky a bit special.
	10:00pm Capt. Dullard: Reach for the sky. Am I being robbed?
	♥ 10:03pm Chop Scott: Joe Belock--The People's Champ!
	10:08pm Sybil: EFD there will never be baseball again I cannot
	10:09pm dano59: Heard some of the Rue Morgue last wkd via TopT - i dig it!
	♥ 10:10pm efd: it's definitely looking grim Sybil!
	10:10pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and peoples.
	♥ 10:11pm Handy Haversack: To be honest, as much as I love baseball, I'd rather MLB disappear than get to risk the lives if hundreds of clubbies, grounds crew, and even players just so the owners don't detect a slight dip in revenue. Baseball forever. MLB fornever.
	10:11pm Sybil: Yup
	10:11pm Carmichael: Sorry, I have to say “ugh”!
	10:13pm Sybil: Ugh is about right Carmichael
	10:16pm Sybil: Handy Haversack, you are so on oint.
	♥ 10:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Catching some efd for a change!
	♥ 10:18pm efd: change is good, RevRabbit!
	♥ 10:18pm efd: and yes Handy, I agree
	♥ 10:19pm Handy Haversack: efd d m ! Hey, RevRabN63!
	10:19pm Carmichael: Happy to report it’s in the low 90s here, very low humidity. Splashy splashy ...
	♥ 10:20pm efd: enjoy the cold snap, Carmichael!
	♥ 10:28pm radioronan: These Canadians are a little tricky. I thought Pottery was from the uk and Sloan was from the us..Pottery I don't feel as duped by coz they haven't been around that long. But Sloan? Almost 30 years masquerading as american in my mind. Geez, I'm glad that has been straightened out. thanks efd.
	♥ 10:30pm Handy Haversack: Happy Canada Day, radioronan!
	♥ 10:34pm radioronan: Same to you Handy! In fact, I think there will be some fireworks at 2am to celebrate. See ya up on the roof!
	♥ 10:35pm Handy Haversack: I hope there are multiple helicopters. I have forgotten how to enjoy things without multiple helicopters.
	♥ 10:35pm mariano: See, this is how loud I like the drums in the mix.
	10:37pm Carmichael: I may have to wear long shorts ...
	10:37pm phat: nailed it!
	10:37pm Carmichael: The robot dance seems appropriate here.
	10:42pm Steve: Go for it, Carmichael!
	♥ 10:43pm ultradamno: Messer Chups have a great robot dance song on one of their recent Bandcamp. Speaking of which, Zombierella in a Morricone Island T twitter.com...
	♥ 10:43pm mndave: "i've felt my body happening to people on the street" - that is a line
	♥ 10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot Robyn Hitchcock one sec.
	10:45pm Steve: Native Cats sound like The Fall
	10:45pm Stevel: RRN63: Perhaps RH making out with MES?
	♥ 10:46pm efd: there's a lot of that going around, Steve
	♥ 10:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fronting Fall...in Canada?
	♥ 10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I never made out with MES.
	♥ 10:48pm PaulRobeson1920: I’d like to run, run, run for the roses too
	♥ 10:52pm Handy Haversack: If we have a few thousand generations of bands influenced by the Fall, I call that a win.
	♥ 10:56pm ultradamno: Still some little Wires or Desperate Bicycles would be nice.
	♥ 10:59pm ultradamno: Definitely not big on final g's
	♥ 10:59pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Desperate Bicycles!
	♥ 11:04pm Aitch: 17yrs + Blondie >/= Mongrel
	11:07pm Stevel: Oh my. I’m in love again. I remember seeing Blondie on Midnight Special, wearing a horizontal black and white dress. At one point she “looked me up and down “, (along with millions of others, of course. ) I was moved. Deeply moved.
	11:09pm Stevel: Control Top! They’re kicking ass, politically, these day. Inspiring.
	♥ 11:11pm Handy Haversack: Control Top! Last show we saw before It All Went Wrong. Looking forward to the album on the car CD player tomorrow once we're out of WFMU range. Oh, also, what's a better route for coverage, the Thruway or the Taconic? Pls. say Taconic!
	♥ 11:12pm Handy Haversack: (This is that band Rex is always talking about.)
	11:13pm Stevel: Handy: They were the first show I missed when it all went wrong!
	♥ 11:13pm efd: lol Handy
	♥ 11:14pm efd: @Handy I refer to this 2013 map: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:14pm Handy Haversack: Stevel, I remember that, actually -- you will see them one day!
	♥ 11:14pm efd: coincidentally I posted it on Michele's playlist the other day
	♥ 11:17pm Handy Haversack: I sure prefer the Taconic, though ... we might stick with the Taconic and all the new Bandcamp CDs plan ... Thanks, efd!
	11:19pm Carmichael: RIP Johnny Mandel. Has he ever been played here?
	♥ 11:24pm Handy Haversack: That was a weird weekend. They canceled the Tartan Day Parade but FMU hadn't canceled Eyelids yet, and we were like, "Oh, good, we can still just go to JC! For waffles!" And then everything, you know, hardened.
	♥ 11:24pm nickybones: i love this primo record. just heard it last night for the 1st time.
	♥ 11:24pm efd: oh right, waffles not pancakes!
	♥ 11:25pm efd: @Carmichael not sure how specific you're being with "here," but I'm pretty sure I haven't played any of his work on my show. I bet he's had airplay elsewhere on WFMU though.
	♥ 11:26pm efd: @nickybones yeah, it's great! Another winner from Upset! The Rhythm!
	11:27pm Carmichael: I meant FMU, sorry. I figured so, as yous guys are an eclectic bunch. I was just daydreaming about which dj would spin that wax.
	♥ 11:29pm nickybones: and LITHICS, which reminds me i still need to hear their live set from yr show! i'm staring at the Firefox tab right now! haha
	♥ 11:30pm efd: there is definitely way more to listen to than there are hours in the day
	♥ 11:31pm Handy Haversack: Though, efd, about the map -- usually 91.9 is clearer here in North Brooklyn. No Manhattan in the way. I also like that it shows the Harlem River at its pre-dredging low-tide levels!
	♥ 11:31pm nickybones: @efd. a good "problem," but i'm overwhelmed nonetheless!
	♥ 11:32pm Eddy in Australia: Primo! - another winner from Melbourne! (Lurking tonight, hi all.)
	11:34pm Carmichael: Primo live up to their name.
	♥ 11:34pm efd: ha, hi Eddy!
	♥ 11:36pm mariano: Hey Eddy. Was about to say, there's so much good stuff coming out of Australia. I really love that Primo! track. The whole show has created the perfect mood for the evening, efd.
	♥ 11:37pm Chop Scott: @nickybones: also to honor Canada I point out that Sloan played a live set for EFD!
	♥ 11:38pm Handy Haversack: What Mariano said! But also, dag, efd, I can't afford to put anything else in the Bandcamp cart for Friday. But dag! Cloud Factory sounds so good. (And Primo!)
	♥ 11:39pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, Nick, SteveL, shout-outed Handy, and all you other hosers!
	11:40pm Stevel: Jack: I resemble that remark
	♥ 11:40pm Handy Haversack: Hose off, Jack. (Hi, Jack!)
	♥ 11:41pm nickybones: @Chop Scott: I think I heard that one, but I'll add it to my tabs anyway, because SLOAN RULE. Happy Canada Day!
	♥ 11:41pm mariano: Now I want back bacon.
	♥ 11:41pm nickybones: Hello, @hobokenjack, my good buddy!
	11:43pm Carmichael: Take off, hoser.
	♥ 11:44pm Eddy in Australia: @Mariano Yep, between the Anti Fade label (based just outside Melbourne) and the Primo!/Terry scene (several shared members) alone, there is a lot of great music here. And Evan has all of it covered.
	11:45pm Layet Johnson: Your show has ROCKED tonight, Evan!
	♥ 11:46pm Handy Haversack: Kate: "Wizard is about to die"!
	♥ 11:49pm efd: thanks muchly, Layet!
	11:49pm GListener MW: !!! new Cult Figures track? Amazing!!!
	♥ 11:53pm Handy Haversack: Another home run for the people, efd! Thanks so much -- and to your Skeleton!
	♥ 11:56pm efd: thanks for listening, everyone! And thank you SkeleScott!
	11:56pm Stevel: Thanks everyone. You know who you are!
	♥ 11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: THX efd
	♥ 11:58pm mariano: Thank you efd and crew, take care everyone!
	11:59pm Joe B: thanks efd and scott
