	9:06pm efd: @phillip I will only disappoint you.
	9:07pm Kat in Chicago: Remembering Art Brut playing Formed A Band at Pitchfork festival in the Chicago summer sun. "this IS my singing voice!"

	9:08pm dave wuz here: band in woburn
	9:08pm Kat in Chicago: @Handy 9:03 HAHAHA I missed this at first, hilarious

	9:09pm Kat in Chicago: I see a certified WFMU hit coming up
	9:09pm Michael in Montclair: Good evening EFD and everyone!
	9:10pm efd: I just realized I might be stepping on Scott Williams' new morning show feature with this one! Sorry Scott!
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Jeez, Kat, I misread your avatar as Sweet Corn Lizzie's! So sorry -- it's been a long couple of days! Also, Captain MAGO-roo! Amazing!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: Scott has a WFMU Hits feature? I don't wake up early enough for Wake these days.
	9:12pm Gaylord Fields: I've got on my boogie shoes and I'm ready to get down tonight, so keep it coming, efd!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: I did kinda wonder why you called me Lizzie, Handy, but it's a good name so I went with it
	9:13pm efd: @Gaylord I'm gonna keep it comin', love!
	9:13pm Chop Scott: Good Wednesday Evening EFD!
	9:14pm Handy Haversack: Really sorry, Kat. Like Dot Allison, I'm a wee strung out!
	9:14pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: That's the method by which I show a preference.
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: What's up, Handy, you okay? I haven't been on the boards much the last couple of days.
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: All good, Kat -- thanks! You know, just long days. Every night a Saturday, every morning a Monday. Yay, 2020!
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: I'm between engagements as of Friday, so I guess every day's gonna be Blursday till I can convince someone to let me work from home and give me health care
	9:19pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Kat, good luck. That's rough.
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Handy. I knew the end date and I have resources in the short term. I just don't want to settle for another temp gig, and I don't want to start riding the bus/train twice a day again if I can help it.
	9:21pm mndave: This x-ray spex track perfectly fits this time spent awaiting my plague test results.
	9:22pm Kat in Chicago: I hope you don't have the plague, mndave :(
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: We took the subway for the first time since March 16 last Friday. WEEEEEEIIIIIIRD. (Also: RIP, Tom Seaver. NYC salute.)
	9:24pm Scott Williams: @efd, it can't become a hit if you don't make it one! Starbreaker is totally yours.
	9:24pm CC: Some people kiss other people and make them sick... other people kiss some people and make them well..!.. think about it it's deep!!!!...;)
	9:25pm efd: darn tootin, Scott!
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: Evan, this is already your record breaking Sound of Summer year...and I think you can get one more in before the equinox.
	9:27pm Stevel: Good evening all. Facing a stiff challenge from the local public radio station WBOI, tonight featuring a post punk collection that started off pretty cool while I was in the car. Of course, everything's cooler in the car, or so they say. Starbreaker is an amazing thing. efd should probably get points.
	9:27pm Kat in Chicago: I got my swag, Scott! Thanks!!! Arrived on the very last day of August, which I consider "on time." (To be fair, it was super early last year.) The fun thing about waiting for it is that I forget half of what I asked for and then it's like "oh I forgot all about the Matt Warwick pizza tank top, cool!"
	9:28pm Aitch: Nice to hear You Am I.
	9:28pm efd: ooh, I might tune into that myself Stevel!
	9:28pm Kat in Chicago: Is there a rule about no Starbreaker after Labor Day?
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, not strict but I was definitely mindful of its approach.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: sabu had the Boston album.
	9:29pm Chop Scott: I thought it was Triumph for moment.
	9:29pm Stevel: Kat: Got mine about a month ago (I think. Its hazy.) It lifted my spirits for days. I left it in a pile on my desk.
	9:30pm efd: I just love how blatantly this rips o--- er, I mean, pays homage to Boston.
	9:30pm Handy Haversack: I think it's no Starbreaker after midnight, and never get Starbreaker wet.
	9:30pm Alex of Chicago: happy lovely summer evening during a pandemic wednesday
	9:31pm johnk77: enjoying this show @um we just said the same thing:>
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: Time doesn't wait for me. it keeps on going.
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: I was trying to think what the beginning reminded me of. Yes, this is definitely Boston-esque.
	9:31pm Julie M: Yes, thanks for the nice summer vibe music. But sad about Tom Seaver, too.
	9:32pm Alex of Chicago: yeah, like living on comm ave vibes
	9:32pm Stevel: Someone's gotta ride that second wave.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: Enjoying the somewhat cooler weather, Alex? I did run the AC for a couple of hours today but windows are open now.
	9:33pm Alex of Chicago: lol. i used to live a few doors down from aerosmith's apartment on comm ave. i can still hear the clang of the green line
	9:34pm Stevel: To be fair to BOston (not that anyone seems to be complaining) their sound popped right out of little radios. It had a punch. Dare I say, it was... ...more than...
	9:34pm Alex of Chicago: @kat it felt great on the dog walk this evening
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: I still love the first two Boston albums. I've played them too recently to spin them this week.
	9:36pm Scott Williams: Kat, happy to hear of your swag's safe arrival!
	9:36pm Julie M: Years and years ago (and years more), My sister was in a theological seminary in Maine, and her roommate had a bird that LOVED Boston. That bird was mesmerized by the music. He (or she) would drift off at the quiet part of "More than a Feeling" and then would go crazy in his (or her) cage when it got more raucous.
	9:38pm Alex of Chicago: i went to college in maine. and all of that comment holds up
	9:38pm Kat in Chicago: Safe and sound, Scott. I'm saving the meditation tape for tomorrow after I submit my unemployment claim.
	9:38pm Julie M: I hesitate to mention in this comment board, but the bird also seemed to like.... Dan Fogelberg.
	9:38pm CC: I never cared that much for Boston when they first came out... I thought they were too formulaic... capitalizing on riffs that had already been done... in retrospect I enjoy some of their songs now...???...:)
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: We're going to Maine next month. I'm going to play "More Than a Feeling" at every bird I see.
	9:39pm Aitch: That Hourly Daily record pretty good, but the one before, Hi-Fi Way is brilliant. Main man a Kinks head.
	9:40pm Julie M: Well, Handy, you have to be patient through the whole song to see if it has the right effect. But do it!
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: We're going to have a canoe, Julie M, so we'll paddle out to the middle of peaceful ponds and just let it rip and see which birds are the cool ones.
	9:41pm mariano: Hey efd, Scott, everyone!
	9:42pm Julie M: That sounds nice, Handy. What bird can resist?
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: That's a great idea for a Wake feature. I'll have to check the archive.
	9:43pm Scott Williams: The Hit List it is, very closely following Pop Roxx with EFD!
	9:44pm B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ: Why yes, here am! B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ. I would love to get my record collection back.
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Scott's "Hit List" is great -- and so is Evan's "Pop Roxx"! Jeez, I gotta get more sleep. I'm already close to sixteen hours of WFMU today.
	9:46pm mariano: That means you've got eight more hours of FMU left, yaaaay!
	9:47pm Kat in Chicago: I used to hear Pop Roxx when I actually got up early and went downtown for work, it's very good indeed.
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: You gotta carry the 1, Mariano.
	9:48pm CC: I remember when Loverboy first came out I thought they were just trying to sound like Foreigner???...:)
	9:48pm Handy Haversack: BTW, efd, I checked with my buddy Manny, and he agreed, "Yeah, Wetlands. Jesus." I think the "of all places" is implied!
	9:50pm efd: haha! ok, glad we're on the same page.
	9:50pm mariano: Hmph. Carry the 1. Well I never!
	9:55pm P-90: ahhhh... Wetlands...
	9:55pm efd: of all places!
	9:59pm Julie M: Wow, I must say, Evan that seemed like a seamless mix from dramarama to Psych Furs
	9:59pm Scott Williams: Handy, when are you guys gonna be in Maine? And where, roughly? I'll be there later this month. Is listener Melinda here?
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Ha! It always works! That was a heck of segue!
	9:59pm efd: thanks Julie!
	10:00pm efd: and thank you, Handy!
	10:00pm Handy Haversack: Scott! We're there like 9/17-21? In Penobscot, near Blue Hill. About 45 mins. down coast from Acadia. Where will you be?
	10:01pm Scott Williams: Sorry I'm delayed on the comments, I'm over there getting the rest of all y'all's swag out
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: No, no, Scott. We got our swag last week. You can stop!
	10:02pm mariano: Jeez, what kinda sweatshop is Ken running over there?
	10:03pm JM: I think the person recently spotted by LAX with a jet pack was EFD. Propelled by his selections.
	10:03pm Scott Williams: Handy: roughly 9/19-27, Portland-ish and the Sebago Lakes. Plant a flag in Cadillac Mountain for me!
	10:04pm Scott Williams: C'mon Mariano, you know we don't call em that name anymore! S-k-e-l-e-t-o-n-c-r-e-w
	10:05pm Handy Haversack: I'll e-mail, Scott. Maybe we can stop off in Portland-ish on the way home if you're there and wave giddily at one another!
	10:05pm efd: 'cause y'all are gonna look like skeletons by the time all that swag gets shipped out!
	10:07pm mariano: Whoops, right y'are, Scott. Nothing to see here folks, keep moving!
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: Big Joanie wishlisted for Bandcamp Friday!
	10:09pm Handy Haversack: "Cranes in the Sky" a Solange cover, Kate tells me.
	10:10pm SeanWStapleton: yup, Solange cover! great song.
	10:10pm ?: @Handy yes it is. @efd 91.1 just went bonkers static in JC
	10:12pm efd: anyone else listening (or trying) at 91.1?
	10:12pm efd: thanks for the Solange cover info, folks - clearly I'm a Solange-noramus.
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 and 91.9 both coming in strong in North Brooklyn (thanks, clouds!).
	10:14pm ultradamno: I don't mean to court controversy, but the bitches in coach are more fun.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: Haha ultradamno
	10:16pm Scott Williams: ? - haven't noticed any issues in JC, in-house or on-air. Anyone else report?
	10:17pm P-90: Haven’t heard this sublimely ridiculous track in ages...
	10:18pm ultradamno: So this was a year before Al Stewart had a hit with Year Of The Cat, coincidence?
	10:19pm efd: [hmm emoji]
	10:22pm Kat in Chicago: "sublimely ridiculous" is an apt description.
	10:22pm patrick321: @Scott & efd – that ? Was me earlier I’ve switched to .org but static condition continues in JC
	10:23pm patrick321: It was fine from 7:45 until 10 mins ago. Might be weird interference I live in a tower
	10:24pm ultradamno: Ian Mitchell of The Bay City Rollers has died www.wtsp.com...
	10:25pm Scott Williams: Thanks Patrick - it would seem to be specific to your location (for the moment!) This part of waterfront JC is solid
	10:26pm Handy Haversack: Just checked the bathroom boombox again -- both stations strong here still.
	10:27pm efd: that little hiccup was me hitting the wrong button
	10:27pm Chop Scott: 91.1 air signal is solid in Brooklyn--no interruption here.
	10:29pm ledzeppelinsucks: this is a good song
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: efd, the playlist says "soft shoulder" -- someone's driving too much!
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: (That's just science!)
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: SCIENCE!
	10:31pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and people.
	10:31pm efd: haha, I thought I'd fixed that! Thanks Handy
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Carm
	10:32pm Handy Haversack: Did the Sacramento band summon you, Carmichael? Hope you're staying cool.
	10:36pm ultradamno: ...to be all silicon valley about it, I guess.
	10:37pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't know either band, Thomas Dolby just compelled me to yell SCIENCE!
	10:38pm Carmichael: Heya Kat. @Handy, what Sacramento band?
	10:39pm Handy Haversack: Soft Science, Carm. Second-to-last song.
	10:39pm Julie M: You get a haha for that one, Kat. That's exactly what I thought when I saw your post.
	10:39pm ultradamno: ...or Mr. Science by Mr. Science (of Dow Jones & The Industrials fame) www.youtube.com...
	10:40pm ultradamno: ...err "fame".
	10:42pm P-90: Did I miss “Put the Needle on the Cannoli”?
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: I got Kate an xkcd T-shirt that has the graph of the COBE projections on the back and on the front "SCIENCE! It works, bitches!" It's a good one. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:45pm Carmichael: Never heard of them, or their previous iteration.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: thanks Julie :)
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, efd and all.
	10:50pm Bootsie: Wow, I don't recall this Bollock Brothers track!
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Handy!
	10:50pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, Gaylord, SteveL, Handy, and all funkers inside the bunker
	10:51pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P! You gotta see this card Kate's making for Em. A work of art. Hey, Jack!
	10:52pm Stevel: Gee. I was debating a post punk dilemma earlier. Seems someone has risen to the challenge.
	10:52pm Stevel: Hey Jack. Staying well, I hope?
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: BTW, Jack, not taking any responsibility for the bunker funk. That was, uh, Scott. Yeah, Scott!
	10:52pm ian/london: Happy Birthday to a couple of my favorite mates...Michael Rother...and John Zorn...thanks Evan...
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Looking forward to it! I have to get you some sort of signature. I'll get on that tomorrow during virtual meetings. Starting the work thing again tomorrow.
	10:54pm Stevel: Funky Bunker. Feels good to say it. Funky Bunker. Yeah
	10:56pm DouglasInDallas: Loving the set EFD. (Thought Dionne's cat was end of Confidence Man lol.) Been a minute since I heard that Bollock Bros track...suhweeeeet
	10:57pm efd: Thank you Douglas!
	10:59pm Stevel: DouglasInDallas: I will do you (or your avitar's) bidding. #Hypnotoad
	11:01pm mariano: Mr. Pumpy!
	11:04pm Jason From Baker Street: Steinski!
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: We want to be free! To say the F word -- without being hassled by the man!
	11:08pm ultradamno: Creamo Coyl has a suggestion for your Bandcamp funds twitter.com...
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Georgetown Records
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Greetings from the West Coast!
	11:09pm iiibeat: Uhh . . Time is space.
	11:10pm iiibeat: Cheese.
	11:10pm mariano: Handy: And we wanna get loaded, and have a good time!
	11:11pm mariano: Did somebody say "loaded"? Where's my weed vape...
	11:11pm iiibeat: If you walk across the room . . It took time (space) to do it.
	11:13pm ultradamno: Get one of those aah-ooo-gah horns to mix it up, maybe one of those submarine alarms...
	11:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hark, the Social Media Airhorn™!
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: @ultradamno, already on that Max Ernst tip. At least one cat here is NOT a fan of the social media air horn.
	11:15pm Jason From Baker Street: Also needs the sad foghorn, aka The Eeyore
	11:16pm ultradamno: We'll turn this show into a morning zoo yet.
	11:16pm efd: I will look into refreshing my airhorn(s).
	11:16pm Jason From Baker Street: (horn honk) (slide whsitle) (boing)
	11:22pm mariano: A-ooga! A-ooga!
	11:24pm Kat in Chicago: I snuck this one (So and So) into my show a couple weeks back, efd :)
	11:24pm Hoboken Jack: I may belatedly become a Fiery Furnaces fan. She won me over as a solo artist.
	11:25pm Kat in Chicago: I never quite connected with them, but this gives me some feelings
	11:25pm mariano: Max Ernst! A buddy of mine years ago, an antiques dealer, was in an antiques shop in San Francisco. Found a small, curious sculpture, bought it for peanuts. He saw what the seller didn't see for some reason: Max Ernst's signature carved into one corner. Someone offered him ten grand on the spot the same day.
	11:26pm Kat in Chicago: OMG mariano that is quite a find. did he sell?
	11:26pm efd: haa, nice one Kat! I think it works! @Hoboken Jack it's never too late! They're pretty good.
	11:26pm Bootsie: I came back to this page to click the star on Fiery Furnaces and see I already did at some point!
	11:27pm Kat in Chicago: that happens to me all the time, Bootsie!
	11:27pm efd: still, you came back just in time Bootsie!
	11:28pm Handy Haversack: SPOX (h/t, Rev. Turnip Druid.)
	11:29pm mariano: Not right away, Kat. He eventually got rid of it for around 30K iirc. They're an interesting group, antiques dealers. I knew a few of them at one point. They all have a story or two like that. I saw the sculpture (he came right over to my house after he bought it to brag), didn't look like much but if you've got a good eye...
	11:29pm Stevel: Sparks may be proof of an intelligent universe. Or not. They are definitely a force for good.
	11:29pm Bootsie: @EFD yes I hear!!
	11:30pm Chop Scott: Hearing Sparks always makes me happy!
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, is that how you say Sparks with a mouth full of carrot cake?
	11:33pm sufferwords: geeze for the love of home town favorites Sparks - always top notch
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: That's my best guess, Kat!
	11:39pm Mr. Pumpy: ganser = dope!
	11:40pm iiibeat: You also need . . The . . Leg horn . . For the . . Fog horn . . It is sad . . What I said. But space . . What is Space . . Space is funking unfathomable!!!! Hahaha
	11:52pm Bootsie: Yes, another fave!!
	11:52pm Stevel: Name a sharper band than the Godfathers.
	11:52pm javakid: been listening all evening - great show efd - and the godfathers are a fav. thank you.
	11:53pm javakid: @Stevel I'll put them next to the Screaming Blue Messiahs....
	11:53pm Bootsie: @Stevel they were sharp both times I saw them live as well!
	11:54pm Stevel: So damned good! So rough.
	11:54pm ultradamno: I saw The Screaming Blue Messiahs, I'll give them the nod off what they were live.
	11:55pm efd: and the secret weapon that The Godfathers and Screaming Blue Messiahs have in common: the legendary and brilliant producer Vic Maile
	11:55pm mariano: Thank you efd, great show! Thank you Sweatsh- er I mean Skeleton Scott, take care everyone!
	11:55pm efd: nuts, I forgot I was playing an actual record!
	11:55pm Stevel: [rising up with lighter in hand]
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Dang, it's late! Thanks, efd -- this was a real pick-Handy-up of a show. Fantastic stuff. Much appreciated. Thanks, Scott! Be well, all. Mariano, you remember to carry that got! dang! one!
	11:56pm Stevel: efd: Also Motorhead?
	11:56pm efd: @Stevel yep!
	11:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Evan. G'night all. Work tomorrow for the first time in a bit...The Godfathers tune was apropos!
	11:57pm mariano: Gott im Himmel!
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Evan! Thanks, Scott!
	11:58pm mariano: Oh wow, Mr. P. - back on the chain gang. Have a good first day back!
	11:58pm Stevel: Great show as usual. Thank you efd, thank you Skeletons! OK, thank you Ken, I mean, why not? So very much appreciated to have real radio alive and moving during fucked up times.
	12:01am Handy Haversack: Good luck, Mr. P! Hot mic alert!
	11:03am sufferwords: did a

	9:05pm wfmu listener phillip: mister "funk" I hope to NEVER hear KC & the sunshine band on WFMU's airwaves ever again!!
	9:06pm efd: @phillip I will only disappoint you.
	9:07pm Kat in Chicago: Remembering Art Brut playing Formed A Band at Pitchfork festival in the Chicago summer sun. "this IS my singing voice!"
	9:07pm efd: such a great first single!
	9:08pm dave wuz here: band in woburn
	9:08pm Kat in Chicago: @Handy 9:03 HAHAHA I missed this at first, hilarious
	9:08pm Kat in Chicago: Captain MAGA-Roo
	9:09pm Kat in Chicago: I see a certified WFMU hit coming up
	9:09pm Michael in Montclair: Good evening EFD and everyone!
	9:10pm efd: I just realized I might be stepping on Scott Williams' new morning show feature with this one! Sorry Scott!
	9:11pm Handy Haversack: Jeez, Kat, I misread your avatar as Sweet Corn Lizzie's! So sorry -- it's been a long couple of days! Also, Captain MAGO-roo! Amazing!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: Scott has a WFMU Hits feature? I don't wake up early enough for Wake these days.
	9:12pm Gaylord Fields: I've got on my boogie shoes and I'm ready to get down tonight, so keep it coming, efd!
	9:12pm Kat in Chicago: I did kinda wonder why you called me Lizzie, Handy, but it's a good name so I went with it
	9:13pm efd: @Gaylord I'm gonna keep it comin', love!
	9:13pm Chop Scott: Good Wednesday Evening EFD!
	9:14pm Handy Haversack: Really sorry, Kat. Like Dot Allison, I'm a wee strung out!
	9:14pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: That's the method by which I show a preference.
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: What's up, Handy, you okay? I haven't been on the boards much the last couple of days.
	9:16pm Handy Haversack: All good, Kat -- thanks! You know, just long days. Every night a Saturday, every morning a Monday. Yay, 2020!
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: I'm between engagements as of Friday, so I guess every day's gonna be Blursday till I can convince someone to let me work from home and give me health care
	9:19pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Kat, good luck. That's rough.
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Handy. I knew the end date and I have resources in the short term. I just don't want to settle for another temp gig, and I don't want to start riding the bus/train twice a day again if I can help it.
	9:21pm mndave: This x-ray spex track perfectly fits this time spent awaiting my plague test results.
	9:22pm Kat in Chicago: I hope you don't have the plague, mndave :(
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: We took the subway for the first time since March 16 last Friday. WEEEEEEIIIIIIRD. (Also: RIP, Tom Seaver. NYC salute.)
	9:24pm Scott Williams: @efd, it can't become a hit if you don't make it one! Starbreaker is totally yours.
	9:24pm CC: Some people kiss other people and make them sick... other people kiss some people and make them well..!.. think about it it's deep!!!!...;)
	9:25pm efd: darn tootin, Scott!
	9:27pm Uncle Michael: Evan, this is already your record breaking Sound of Summer year...and I think you can get one more in before the equinox.
	9:27pm Stevel: Good evening all. Facing a stiff challenge from the local public radio station WBOI, tonight featuring a post punk collection that started off pretty cool while I was in the car. Of course, everything's cooler in the car, or so they say. Starbreaker is an amazing thing. efd should probably get points.
	9:27pm Kat in Chicago: I got my swag, Scott! Thanks!!! Arrived on the very last day of August, which I consider "on time." (To be fair, it was super early last year.) The fun thing about waiting for it is that I forget half of what I asked for and then it's like "oh I forgot all about the Matt Warwick pizza tank top, cool!"
	9:28pm Aitch: Nice to hear You Am I.
	9:28pm efd: ooh, I might tune into that myself Stevel!
	9:28pm Kat in Chicago: Is there a rule about no Starbreaker after Labor Day?
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, not strict but I was definitely mindful of its approach.
	9:29pm Uncle Michael: sabu had the Boston album.
	9:29pm Chop Scott: I thought it was Triumph for moment.
	9:29pm Stevel: Kat: Got mine about a month ago (I think. Its hazy.) It lifted my spirits for days. I left it in a pile on my desk.
	9:30pm efd: I just love how blatantly this rips o--- er, I mean, pays homage to Boston.
	9:30pm Handy Haversack: I think it's no Starbreaker after midnight, and never get Starbreaker wet.
	9:30pm Alex of Chicago: happy lovely summer evening during a pandemic wednesday
	9:31pm johnk77: enjoying this show @um we just said the same thing:>
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: Time doesn't wait for me. it keeps on going.
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: I was trying to think what the beginning reminded me of. Yes, this is definitely Boston-esque.
	9:31pm Julie M: Yes, thanks for the nice summer vibe music. But sad about Tom Seaver, too.
	9:32pm Alex of Chicago: yeah, like living on comm ave vibes
	9:32pm Stevel: Someone's gotta ride that second wave.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: Enjoying the somewhat cooler weather, Alex? I did run the AC for a couple of hours today but windows are open now.
	9:33pm Alex of Chicago: lol. i used to live a few doors down from aerosmith's apartment on comm ave. i can still hear the clang of the green line
	9:34pm Stevel: To be fair to BOston (not that anyone seems to be complaining) their sound popped right out of little radios. It had a punch. Dare I say, it was... ...more than...
	9:34pm Alex of Chicago: @kat it felt great on the dog walk this evening
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: I still love the first two Boston albums. I've played them too recently to spin them this week.
	9:36pm Scott Williams: Kat, happy to hear of your swag's safe arrival!
	9:36pm Julie M: Years and years ago (and years more), My sister was in a theological seminary in Maine, and her roommate had a bird that LOVED Boston. That bird was mesmerized by the music. He (or she) would drift off at the quiet part of "More than a Feeling" and then would go crazy in his (or her) cage when it got more raucous.
	9:38pm Alex of Chicago: i went to college in maine. and all of that comment holds up
	9:38pm Kat in Chicago: Safe and sound, Scott. I'm saving the meditation tape for tomorrow after I submit my unemployment claim.
	9:38pm Julie M: I hesitate to mention in this comment board, but the bird also seemed to like.... Dan Fogelberg.
	9:38pm CC: I never cared that much for Boston when they first came out... I thought they were too formulaic... capitalizing on riffs that had already been done... in retrospect I enjoy some of their songs now...???...:)
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: We're going to Maine next month. I'm going to play "More Than a Feeling" at every bird I see.
	9:39pm Aitch: That Hourly Daily record pretty good, but the one before, Hi-Fi Way is brilliant. Main man a Kinks head.
	9:40pm Julie M: Well, Handy, you have to be patient through the whole song to see if it has the right effect. But do it!
	9:41pm Handy Haversack: We're going to have a canoe, Julie M, so we'll paddle out to the middle of peaceful ponds and just let it rip and see which birds are the cool ones.
	9:41pm mariano: Hey efd, Scott, everyone!
	9:42pm Julie M: That sounds nice, Handy. What bird can resist?
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: That's a great idea for a Wake feature. I'll have to check the archive.
	9:43pm Scott Williams: The Hit List it is, very closely following Pop Roxx with EFD!
	9:44pm B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ: Why yes, here am! B.F. Reilly of Lakeshore Drive in Parsippany, NJ. I would love to get my record collection back.
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Scott's "Hit List" is great -- and so is Evan's "Pop Roxx"! Jeez, I gotta get more sleep. I'm already close to sixteen hours of WFMU today.
	9:46pm mariano: That means you've got eight more hours of FMU left, yaaaay!
	9:47pm Kat in Chicago: I used to hear Pop Roxx when I actually got up early and went downtown for work, it's very good indeed.
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: You gotta carry the 1, Mariano.
	9:48pm CC: I remember when Loverboy first came out I thought they were just trying to sound like Foreigner???...:)
	9:48pm Handy Haversack: BTW, efd, I checked with my buddy Manny, and he agreed, "Yeah, Wetlands. Jesus." I think the "of all places" is implied!
	9:50pm efd: haha! ok, glad we're on the same page.
	9:50pm mariano: Hmph. Carry the 1. Well I never!
	9:55pm P-90: ahhhh... Wetlands...
	9:55pm efd: of all places!
	9:59pm Julie M: Wow, I must say, Evan that seemed like a seamless mix from dramarama to Psych Furs
	9:59pm Scott Williams: Handy, when are you guys gonna be in Maine? And where, roughly? I'll be there later this month. Is listener Melinda here?
	9:59pm Handy Haversack: Ha! It always works! That was a heck of segue!
	9:59pm efd: thanks Julie!
	10:00pm efd: and thank you, Handy!
	10:00pm Handy Haversack: Scott! We're there like 9/17-21? In Penobscot, near Blue Hill. About 45 mins. down coast from Acadia. Where will you be?
	10:01pm Scott Williams: Sorry I'm delayed on the comments, I'm over there getting the rest of all y'all's swag out
	10:02pm Handy Haversack: No, no, Scott. We got our swag last week. You can stop!
	10:02pm mariano: Jeez, what kinda sweatshop is Ken running over there?
	10:03pm JM: I think the person recently spotted by LAX with a jet pack was EFD. Propelled by his selections.
	10:03pm Scott Williams: Handy: roughly 9/19-27, Portland-ish and the Sebago Lakes. Plant a flag in Cadillac Mountain for me!
	10:04pm Scott Williams: C'mon Mariano, you know we don't call em that name anymore! S-k-e-l-e-t-o-n-c-r-e-w
	10:05pm Handy Haversack: I'll e-mail, Scott. Maybe we can stop off in Portland-ish on the way home if you're there and wave giddily at one another!
	10:05pm efd: 'cause y'all are gonna look like skeletons by the time all that swag gets shipped out!
	10:07pm mariano: Whoops, right y'are, Scott. Nothing to see here folks, keep moving!
	10:07pm Handy Haversack: Big Joanie wishlisted for Bandcamp Friday!
	10:09pm Handy Haversack: "Cranes in the Sky" a Solange cover, Kate tells me.
	10:10pm SeanWStapleton: yup, Solange cover! great song.
	10:10pm ?: @Handy yes it is. @efd 91.1 just went bonkers static in JC
	10:12pm efd: anyone else listening (or trying) at 91.1?
	10:12pm efd: thanks for the Solange cover info, folks - clearly I'm a Solange-noramus.
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: 91.1 and 91.9 both coming in strong in North Brooklyn (thanks, clouds!).
	10:14pm ultradamno: I don't mean to court controversy, but the bitches in coach are more fun.
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: Haha ultradamno
	10:16pm Scott Williams: ? - haven't noticed any issues in JC, in-house or on-air. Anyone else report?
	10:17pm P-90: Haven’t heard this sublimely ridiculous track in ages...
	10:18pm ultradamno: So this was a year before Al Stewart had a hit with Year Of The Cat, coincidence?
	10:19pm efd: [hmm emoji]
	10:22pm Kat in Chicago: "sublimely ridiculous" is an apt description.
	10:22pm patrick321: @Scott & efd – that ? Was me earlier I’ve switched to .org but static condition continues in JC
	10:23pm patrick321: It was fine from 7:45 until 10 mins ago. Might be weird interference I live in a tower
	10:24pm ultradamno: Ian Mitchell of The Bay City Rollers has died www.wtsp.com...
	10:25pm Scott Williams: Thanks Patrick - it would seem to be specific to your location (for the moment!) This part of waterfront JC is solid
	10:26pm Handy Haversack: Just checked the bathroom boombox again -- both stations strong here still.
	10:27pm efd: that little hiccup was me hitting the wrong button
	10:27pm Chop Scott: 91.1 air signal is solid in Brooklyn--no interruption here.
	10:29pm ledzeppelinsucks: this is a good song
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: efd, the playlist says "soft shoulder" -- someone's driving too much!
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: (That's just science!)
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: SCIENCE!
	10:31pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and people.
	10:31pm efd: haha, I thought I'd fixed that! Thanks Handy
	10:31pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Carm
	10:32pm Handy Haversack: Did the Sacramento band summon you, Carmichael? Hope you're staying cool.
	10:36pm ultradamno: ...to be all silicon valley about it, I guess.
	10:37pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't know either band, Thomas Dolby just compelled me to yell SCIENCE!
	10:38pm Carmichael: Heya Kat. @Handy, what Sacramento band?
	10:39pm Handy Haversack: Soft Science, Carm. Second-to-last song.
	10:39pm Julie M: You get a haha for that one, Kat. That's exactly what I thought when I saw your post.
	10:39pm ultradamno: ...or Mr. Science by Mr. Science (of Dow Jones & The Industrials fame) www.youtube.com...
	10:40pm ultradamno: ...err "fame".
	10:42pm P-90: Did I miss “Put the Needle on the Cannoli”?
	10:42pm Handy Haversack: I got Kate an xkcd T-shirt that has the graph of the COBE projections on the back and on the front "SCIENCE! It works, bitches!" It's a good one. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:45pm Carmichael: Never heard of them, or their previous iteration.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: thanks Julie :)
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, efd and all.
	10:50pm Bootsie: Wow, I don't recall this Bollock Brothers track!
	10:50pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Handy!
	10:50pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, Gaylord, SteveL, Handy, and all funkers inside the bunker
	10:51pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P! You gotta see this card Kate's making for Em. A work of art. Hey, Jack!
	10:52pm Stevel: Gee. I was debating a post punk dilemma earlier. Seems someone has risen to the challenge.
	10:52pm Stevel: Hey Jack. Staying well, I hope?
	10:52pm Handy Haversack: BTW, Jack, not taking any responsibility for the bunker funk. That was, uh, Scott. Yeah, Scott!
	10:52pm ian/london: Happy Birthday to a couple of my favorite mates...Michael Rother...and John Zorn...thanks Evan...
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Looking forward to it! I have to get you some sort of signature. I'll get on that tomorrow during virtual meetings. Starting the work thing again tomorrow.
	10:54pm Stevel: Funky Bunker. Feels good to say it. Funky Bunker. Yeah
	10:56pm DouglasInDallas: Loving the set EFD. (Thought Dionne's cat was end of Confidence Man lol.) Been a minute since I heard that Bollock Bros track...suhweeeeet
	10:57pm efd: Thank you Douglas!
	10:59pm Stevel: DouglasInDallas: I will do you (or your avitar's) bidding. #Hypnotoad
	11:01pm mariano: Mr. Pumpy!
	11:04pm Jason From Baker Street: Steinski!
	11:06pm Handy Haversack: We want to be free! To say the F word -- without being hassled by the man!
	11:08pm ultradamno: Creamo Coyl has a suggestion for your Bandcamp funds twitter.com...
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Georgetown Records
	11:09pm Jason From Baker Street: Greetings from the West Coast!
	11:09pm iiibeat: Uhh . . Time is space.
	11:10pm iiibeat: Cheese.
	11:10pm mariano: Handy: And we wanna get loaded, and have a good time!
	11:11pm mariano: Did somebody say "loaded"? Where's my weed vape...
	11:11pm iiibeat: If you walk across the room . . It took time (space) to do it.
	11:13pm ultradamno: Get one of those aah-ooo-gah horns to mix it up, maybe one of those submarine alarms...
	11:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hark, the Social Media Airhorn™!
	11:14pm Handy Haversack: @ultradamno, already on that Max Ernst tip. At least one cat here is NOT a fan of the social media air horn.
	11:15pm Jason From Baker Street: Also needs the sad foghorn, aka The Eeyore
	11:16pm ultradamno: We'll turn this show into a morning zoo yet.
	11:16pm efd: I will look into refreshing my airhorn(s).
	11:16pm Jason From Baker Street: (horn honk) (slide whsitle) (boing)
	11:22pm mariano: A-ooga! A-ooga!
	11:24pm Kat in Chicago: I snuck this one (So and So) into my show a couple weeks back, efd :)
	11:24pm Hoboken Jack: I may belatedly become a Fiery Furnaces fan. She won me over as a solo artist.
	11:25pm Kat in Chicago: I never quite connected with them, but this gives me some feelings
	11:25pm mariano: Max Ernst! A buddy of mine years ago, an antiques dealer, was in an antiques shop in San Francisco. Found a small, curious sculpture, bought it for peanuts. He saw what the seller didn't see for some reason: Max Ernst's signature carved into one corner. Someone offered him ten grand on the spot the same day.
	11:26pm Kat in Chicago: OMG mariano that is quite a find. did he sell?
	11:26pm efd: haa, nice one Kat! I think it works! @Hoboken Jack it's never too late! They're pretty good.
	11:26pm Bootsie: I came back to this page to click the star on Fiery Furnaces and see I already did at some point!
	11:27pm Kat in Chicago: that happens to me all the time, Bootsie!
	11:27pm efd: still, you came back just in time Bootsie!
	11:28pm Handy Haversack: SPOX (h/t, Rev. Turnip Druid.)
	11:29pm mariano: Not right away, Kat. He eventually got rid of it for around 30K iirc. They're an interesting group, antiques dealers. I knew a few of them at one point. They all have a story or two like that. I saw the sculpture (he came right over to my house after he bought it to brag), didn't look like much but if you've got a good eye...
	11:29pm Stevel: Sparks may be proof of an intelligent universe. Or not. They are definitely a force for good.
	11:29pm Bootsie: @EFD yes I hear!!
	11:30pm Chop Scott: Hearing Sparks always makes me happy!
	11:30pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, is that how you say Sparks with a mouth full of carrot cake?
	11:33pm sufferwords: geeze for the love of home town favorites Sparks - always top notch
	11:37pm Handy Haversack: That's my best guess, Kat!
	11:39pm Mr. Pumpy: ganser = dope!
	11:40pm iiibeat: You also need . . The . . Leg horn . . For the . . Fog horn . . It is sad . . What I said. But space . . What is Space . . Space is funking unfathomable!!!! Hahaha
	11:52pm Bootsie: Yes, another fave!!
	11:52pm Stevel: Name a sharper band than the Godfathers.
	11:52pm javakid: been listening all evening - great show efd - and the godfathers are a fav. thank you.
	11:53pm javakid: @Stevel I'll put them next to the Screaming Blue Messiahs....
	11:53pm Bootsie: @Stevel they were sharp both times I saw them live as well!
	11:54pm Stevel: So damned good! So rough.
	11:54pm ultradamno: I saw The Screaming Blue Messiahs, I'll give them the nod off what they were live.
	11:55pm efd: and the secret weapon that The Godfathers and Screaming Blue Messiahs have in common: the legendary and brilliant producer Vic Maile
	11:55pm mariano: Thank you efd, great show! Thank you Sweatsh- er I mean Skeleton Scott, take care everyone!
	11:55pm efd: nuts, I forgot I was playing an actual record!
	11:55pm Stevel: [rising up with lighter in hand]
	11:55pm Handy Haversack: Dang, it's late! Thanks, efd -- this was a real pick-Handy-up of a show. Fantastic stuff. Much appreciated. Thanks, Scott! Be well, all. Mariano, you remember to carry that got! dang! one!
	11:56pm Stevel: efd: Also Motorhead?
	11:56pm efd: @Stevel yep!
	11:57pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Evan. G'night all. Work tomorrow for the first time in a bit...The Godfathers tune was apropos!
	11:57pm mariano: Gott im Himmel!
	11:57pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Evan! Thanks, Scott!
	11:58pm mariano: Oh wow, Mr. P. - back on the chain gang. Have a good first day back!
	11:58pm Stevel: Great show as usual. Thank you efd, thank you Skeletons! OK, thank you Ken, I mean, why not? So very much appreciated to have real radio alive and moving during fucked up times.
	12:01am Handy Haversack: Good luck, Mr. P! Hot mic alert!
	11:03am sufferwords: did a
