	9:26pm Spinning Giant: keepin it real efd, love it
	9:26pm patrick321: TRB was such a fave, really takes me back.
	9:27pm Stevel: First set was an eye opener. His sound is what I liked and still like. Clean edge.
	9:27pm Spinning Giant: @stevel totally
	9:28pm javakid: @stevel - yes - and not shy about the bass forward
	9:29pm Stevel: Live at Leeds. Almost a noise experiment, yet, in his hands...?
	9:29pm Mister Dobalina: Hello to you....
	9:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, efd and the funkengrüven.
	9:30pm iiibeat: Hello to me. If you like.
	9:35pm Carmichael: Can’t Find the Lady.
	9:39pm johnk77: great selections live at leeds was 1970 i remember thinking at the time that it captured live rock better than anything else up to that point
	9:39pm efd: "boob tubes" in the UK = "tube tops" in the US, in case you didn't pick up on that from the context.
	9:39pm Uncle Michael: The staff at the Townhouse watched a lot of television?
	9:41pm Julie M: LOVIN'! There's dirty water in so many places, and so many artists have loved that dirty water.
	9:42pm Carmichael: Interesting geographic change ...
	9:43pm listener 126464: pick to click
	9:46pm johnk77: in the uk desk=console
	9:47pm Carmichael: Neve
	9:50pm johnk77: at that time the best studio plates were made by emt this was before digital reverb existed plates were analog reverb
	9:50pm efd: Peter basically programmed my opening set :D
	9:51pm Spinning Giant: such a cool interview!
	9:52pm efd: glad you're enjoying it!
	9:55pm Spinning Giant: ...it's so cool to think he got such a clean rocksolid sound in a raggedy barn with antique equipment...
	9:55pm Spinning Giant: maybe more people should do that!
	9:56pm Hoboken Jack: EFD is Mr. Reliable!!
	9:56pm Carmichael: Wow, gating ...
	9:57pm Carmichael: In mono or stereo, but always analog.
	9:57pm van chinski: Really enjoying the show, love these focused specials
	9:58pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy Medson Man, SteveL, other Patrick,126464....
	9:59pm javakid: @van I know it's work for EFD and so appreciated. would love a featured producer once a year. enjoy it almost more than a focus on an artist or band.
	9:59pm listener 126464: Howdy Jack, everybody.
	9:59pm Stevel: Jack! Greetings and salivations!
	9:59pm ultradamno: I don't resent it, but I still think The Standells are better.
	10:01pm herb.nyc: Wottta fun show. I’m laughing a lot. Thx! Aside: wlir had a live joe Jackson, and it ended w him saying “most bands have an opener. But we’ve got the inmates coming up next...”. Maybe this is a bootleg?
	10:02pm radioronan: Speaking of good micing. That phoner with Peter sounded fantastic. nice job! I'm a native bostonian that thought the standells version was cover when I was kid..
	10:04pm van chinski: @ javakid - the nice thing about the producer angle is to learn about all the bands and people that are tied together through the association, and how the production affected them and their work. Esp if you know zip about production (like me)
	10:04pm efd: @radioronan Thanks! That was actually recorded via WhatsApp and yeah, it came out sounding great!
	10:06pm javakid: @van agreed - it creates a mosiac of sorts. you learn how the bands are connected, get the band's personality and in the end you understand the bigger picture.
	10:07pm efd: I would pay good money to hear those Girlschool argument tapes!
	10:08pm Kat in Chicago: I'm really enjoying hearing them cackle now.
	10:08pm Hoboken Jack: These two are delightful!
	10:08pm van chinski: This wild.
	10:09pm Stevel: Great stuff!
	10:09pm efd: It was like this pretty much out of the gate with them. They're the best!
	10:09pm van chinski: This IS wild. Geez. ANd, yeah, argument tapes. Start a series of band argument tapes.
	10:10pm efd: listen for the kick drum skip, everyone!
	10:12pm johnk77: here is a neve 8036 now in california: https://www.prairiesun.com/neve-console.html built for pete townshend installed at eel pie studios and also toured w/who and others as a front of house desk:>
	10:14pm Dirty: The chase is better than the catch...Thank You "Evan Fuck Davies"...
	10:14pm efd: Folks, while WFMU hit its overall fundraising goal yesterday (woo-hoo!) I'm still a little short of the goal for my show. If you're enjoying the show, and you're able, I'd love it if you could make a pledge right now! Hit that pledge banner over on the left, or just go to pledge.wfmu.org... Thank you! And thanks to the many of you who have already pledged during our October HELLRAISER Fundraiser!
	10:14pm Carmichael: I LOVE this devil song.
	10:16pm Dirty: a two of hundred dollar donation to your station Evan...Fuck You All.that can't beat that..
	10:16pm efd: it's one of the greats! Equal to the original imho!
	10:17pm mr_donutsu: Mutt Lange can suck it!
	10:18pm Dirty: Oh you dirty bastards..can't even donate 10 bucks...get real...
	10:18pm ultradamno: Highway To Hell would have been a much better record with Vanda & Young instead of Mutt Lange.
	10:18pm Mr. Pumpy: That is right up there with the Priest cover! Maybe tops it even...
	10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: Dirty...it was generous and all...but is that the cost?
	10:19pm Spinning Giant: peanut butter n shrooms...sounds savage!
	10:19pm Dirty: Donate....or get the helll.out...tired of you cumsuckers...DONATE!!!!!!!
	10:20pm Stevel: A no bullshit studio. There to record, not fuck around.
	10:20pm Mike Sin: I'm learnin' things here!
	10:21pm Christopher Lynardakis: This is really great to hear! Just tuned in, these gurlz are r n r history!
	10:21pm Dirty: That's the Cost for your dirty diversion...
	10:22pm Mr. Pumpy: Dirty, you don't know who is pledging what. That and I'm falling for your trolling nonsense.
	10:22pm Mr. Pumpy: EFD...great interview!
	10:23pm Mr. Pumpy: headgirl! Awesome!
	10:24pm Dirty: don't go trolling...you don't know who's real or not...people like you complaining usually aren't donating...
	10:24pm efd: hey Christopher, thanks so much! And thanks to you Mr. Pumpy, and Mike Sin, and all commenters and listeners!
	10:24pm efd: Dirty, you've gotta dial it back a few notches. Everyone's doing their best.
	10:25pm Dirty: I care about things...do they?
	10:25pm Stevel: "...felt like Eskimo Nell. HAAH!"
	10:25pm mr_donutsu: That is exactly how long a guitar solo should be.
	10:26pm Mr. Pumpy: What efd said. If me complimenting his show, and being a donor, is complaining...okay then. Anyhow, again efd...amazing interview and stretch of songs!
	10:27pm Carmichael: Zap, Dirty.
	10:27pm coelacanth∅: Pumpy, "dirty"(as posting for the moment) hasn't donated a thing, whereas it's obvious you have. just a troll.
	10:28pm javakid: exactly - zzzz r-a-d-i-o and pumpkin icons tell that story
	10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: coel...I am the fool for even addressing such wankery! How you been doing? This interview is amazing!
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: (about to attack me now)
	10:29pm Dirty: hey karma did you donate yet?...I doubt it..faker
	10:29pm mr_donutsu: One of my first “production” projects was using pause to cut out all the interminable solos on Another Perfect Day – recording the album to cassette – so that Motörhead sounded like Motörhead. WWVMD
	10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: Great stuff, efd. Girlschool!!!
	10:30pm van chinski: They were awesome to listen to.
	10:30pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't appreciate them back in the day, but I might be a Girlschool fan now.
	10:31pm Dirty: Hey...dirty cowl.I've donated...your the dirty troll as always...
	10:31pm Tommy in Neversink: They reminded me of the two English girls in the original Odd Couple movie
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P okay, looking for work now. yeah this is brilliant! how bout you?
	10:31pm Christopher Lynardakis: This was great! Thank you Evan! Thank you gurlz school!
	10:31pm javakid: @tommy the peacock sisters?
	10:31pm Carmichael: Girlschool rocks, I say now in 2020, ha ha ...
	10:32pm Tome: Those Gals were great !<>!
	10:33pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, not too bad. Things are slightly better with pops, which I'll take! I'm selling my place and just moving in with him proper, and that's almost done...so there's that. Teaching, albeit remotely...and basically just trying to move forward in this crazy covid world! Best on the work hunt! I hope you connect soon.
	10:33pm efd: Dirty, this is your last warning. Knock it off.
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: glad to hear it about your dad, P. -i hesitated to ask!
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: 999!
	10:37pm javakid: @tommy - I misthought - the Pigeon Sisters
	10:38pm Stevel: "The page "Pinpoint band" does not exist. You can ask for it to be created, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered. Just sayin', someone's overly COVID-bored. Cool song. You can feel the Stranglers presence.
	10:38pm Spinning Giant: this is truly great. the man had an ear. wow. any BBC (Peel or otherwise) interview archives you'll be airing as part of the special, efd...?
	10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, I appreciate it, but you don't have to hesitate. He's doing the type of dialysis at home now, 7 days a week. The adjustment was rough, but he's got the process down pretty much, and the removal of toxins from his body is helping with the mental acuity which suffered from his stroke in December. He'll never be the same, but best he's been in a long time.
	10:40pm Stevel: Great story! Thanks, Arturo!
	10:40pm Mr. Pumpy: @javakid...the Pigeon Sisters! Ha! Oscar and Felix...
	10:41pm Spinning Giant: Pumpy, glad to hear your pop is on the mend...
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: ^ what the Giant said
	10:43pm ike_p: evening all! thanks EFD, loving the show and learning so much as always - got my pledge in, happy to chip in towards my education :)
	10:43pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks!
	10:45pm javakid: Gun Shy and Bikini Red vinyl have been played so many times in this house. so good.
	10:45pm Stevel: Wow. A totally different sound, band-wise. Still, it buzzes.
	10:46pm mariano: Woohoo, we have signal again! Hey efd, Crew, all. Just made it out the other end of that apocalyptic hurricane, kinda feel like I scored, lol.
	10:46pm herb.nyc: Evan not make his goal yet? That’s RUBBISH!
	10:46pm Spinning Giant: welcome back, mariano!
	10:47pm javakid: @mariano hope all on the Louisiana coast are holding it together.
	10:47pm Spinning Giant: @herbnyc, good point!!!
	10:47pm Stevel: mariano: I can't keep up anymore. Was it a big or little hurricane? I saw post Andrew, which was rather impressive, to say the least. Not something I think I NEED to experience.
	10:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Evan and friends - great show. I agree, more producer shows would be interesting.
	10:48pm Benoni: I just pledged to WFMU. And I'm going to vote this year. Civic duty done!
	10:48pm mariano: Thanks Stevel. No flood, but 110mph winds, 1mph short of Cat 3. No power so hanging in my car in the Quarter where there's power and 4g.
	10:49pm efd: yikes, glad you made it through mariano!
	10:50pm efd: Benoni, thank you! and thanks SCLizzie for the kind words!
	10:50pm Joe B: ugh hang in there mariano
	10:50pm Andy: Evan, thanks so much for shining a light on one of the more unsung heroes of r&r! Hopefully sometime soon we'll have a chance to gush over VM in person.
	10:51pm mariano: Thanks efd. Once I'm back online completely I'll upload some footage. Like a mosh pit of trees!
	10:51pm mariano: Thanks Joe B!
	10:52pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...glad to hear you are maintaining! stay safe and dry...because if I didn't say that...ha! Seriously though, glad to hear you report in.
	10:52pm Motobro: Hang in there Mariano, sorry to see you all getting back to back to back beat downs this hurricane season. When we are able to return for jazz fest we got to catch some live tunes and have a few beverages.
	10:53pm Stevel: Good question!
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Benoni, good on you! You just missed a charming lad trying to tell us all how to do the pledge thing. I think you did it right!
	10:54pm Stevel: Good question, re Holiday Head
	10:54pm Benoni: Thanks EFD and Mr. Pumpy. I try!
	10:55pm mariano: Thanks Mr. P - all dry now oddly enough. Was a hell of wind and rain then the eye passed over with its surreal calm, then a relatively minor back end. Thanks to you too, Motobro, and I'll gladly take you up on the Jazz Fest-ivities!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: welcome back mariano! -glad this was a little one
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: hi Lizzie!
	10:59pm mariano: Hey coela! Good to be back.
	10:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Vic Maile does what's needed for the time. I agree! I pretty much think he makes things sound the truest they can at any given moment. that's the good stuff. Just one man's opinion of course, but when you serve the song it becomes timeless. I've suffered trying to do this, but being at the mercy of others who had a stake in the project and having to bow to their wishes...oh well!
	11:00pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Just a fantastic show, EFD. Well played. Great interviews. I never knew much about this producer until this evening.
	11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, I think the rain is hitting NJ all day tomorrow, so this thing must be moving quickly. That is unless there is another one ahead of it. I've not been paying much attention.
	11:01pm efd: thanks Patrick, that confirms my plan is working perfectly! :)
	11:04pm mariano: Yeah, Mr. P, very fast storm. Glad to hear about your pops adjusting to the dialysis and improving!
	11:05pm Christopher Lynardakis: Man diabetes nothing to play around with poor Vic
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: Wow... i had a somewhat similar experience with a girlfriend -on the verge of diabetic coma...that's a story, but point is sometimes it isn't obvious.
	11:05pm Motobro: Me neither, thanks Evan.
	11:08pm Joe B: these two Screaming Blue Messiahs records were huge on my college station at the time, loved them
	11:10pm Stevel: Big on the new (mid-80s) Alternative stations. Can't remember the call letters in Pittsburgh, but it was a lifesaver.
	11:10pm javakid: @Joe - love them - Someone To Talk To is a personal fav song.
	11:11pm Joe B: @java - a chris thompson co write!
	11:11pm ultradamno: Great live band. I believe I drove a Dodge to see them.
	11:12pm Stevel: ultradamno: Indy? Bloomington?
	11:13pm mariano: I remember seeing a punk band called Jesus Chrysler sometime in the 80s.
	11:14pm mariano: Huh, guess I wasn't signed in last comment.
	11:14pm ultradamno: Cinti. With H Bomb Ferguson twitter.com...
	11:14pm ultradamno: twitter.com...
	11:16pm Stevel: Cincy is a bit of a drive. Not a Dodge Vegamatic, I presume?
	11:16pm radioronan: @mariano good to hear storm cleared out.hope clean up is quick and people in storm line are safe.. As @motobro says next time jf is on... Prejean's gumbo should also be shared..
	11:17pm ultradamno: I think it was a Neon
	11:17pm Stevel: efd: Nice how the interviews linked up.
	11:18pm ultradamno: Clickiness up front.
	11:18pm Pedro in Arlington: This show is superb EFD. Those SBM tracks are ageless. Not a single sound cliché. So fine to hear all these years later on the world's greatest radio station along with the interview. And yeah, don't vote for the sociopath.
	11:20pm efd: thanks very much, Pedro!
	11:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Tuning in late, but this is amazing. Thanks so much for doing this Evan!
	11:25pm Mr. Pumpy: Todd...you'll have to go back and listen in the archives. Amazing stuff.
	11:25pm efd: thank YOU, Todd! I appreciate the appreciation!
	11:27pm Joe B: so true of those Godfathers records especially. they sound so great
	11:28pm efd: I really renewed my love of the Godfathers as I was working on this show, they're so so great.
	11:28pm mariano: Thanks radioronan. Now helping my cousin transfer meat from his restaurant with no power to the one with power. So much meat!
	11:29pm Stevel: efd: So f-ing good. Arresting.
	11:29pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Mr. Pumpy: Definitely plan to do that.
	11:30pm Mr. Pumpy: the transferring of meat, may it go well
	11:31pm javakid: @efd same arc for me (as probably most in the States) - started with Birth, School... went back to Hot By Hit and then onward. talk about a great live band. saw them at Mississippi Night in St. Louis and they seemed right at home.
	11:31pm Stevel: The Godfathers were, to me, one of those bands carrying forward the edge of punk. The raw sharpness.
	11:32pm Chop Scott: Fantastic show tonight EFD--Thanks!
	11:32pm efd: thank you C. Scott!
	11:33pm Stevel: Thanks to mid-80s alt radio, I heard "This Damnation" for a while before BSWD came out. Such brutal songs. Both, in their own way.
	11:33pm javakid: I remember some at the college station thought they were a gimmick cuz of the suits but their loss.
	11:33pm Stevel: Anyone who says "The Ooo" gets my attention.
	11:35pm efd: there's really been a panoply of English accents throughout the show! I'm surprised I didn't pick one up myself after listening to these interviews all month!
	11:36pm Stevel: You should have a geo-locator map for this episode. Vic Maile=Whole Lotta Love?????
	11:36pm efd: I love this story about "Sun Arise"
	11:38pm Stevel: THAT'S what I'm talking about!!
	11:38pm efd: @Stevel a)I did want to go back and see where everyone was from to understand the accents, and b) I don't think he worked on "Whole Lotta Love" (could be wrong) directly, just answered Jimmy Page's questions. As one does.
	11:39pm Stevel: efd: ...still...
	11:39pm efd: I know!
	11:39pm efd: btw there's a coda to the "Sun Arise" story when the song ends
	11:40pm Stevel: Great stuff, man. Give yourself a raise!
	11:41pm Chop Scott: I'll always want to hear Alice Cooper's voice on this one!
	11:41pm efd: I need another $223 for the station first!
	11:41pm mr_donutsu: The little percussive clicks.
	11:41pm Stevel: Fucking brilliant
	11:42pm efd: "I THOUGHT IT NEEDED A HOWLING WOLF AT THE END!!"
	11:42pm Stevel: Chop Scott: That's how I came to it.
	11:44pm Stevel: E's A'ppy.
	11:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Is it just me or does "Another You" have a J&M Chain vibe to it? Not necessarily the same sound...
	11:49pm Chop Scott: I believe the key word is clarity! Such a wonderful ear on Vic Maile.
	11:50pm efd: @Todd I was thinking J&M Chain mixed with Love & Rockets...?
	11:50pm efd: @C. Scott, absolutely right!
	11:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: You'll need to run the other half of that equation by Daniel Blumin!
	11:52pm efd: haha!
	11:52pm ultradamno: I was definitely hearing J&M Chain myself
	11:56pm mariano: Thank you efd (and Peter), amazing show! Thanks Crew, bye all!
	11:56pm Chop Scott: Thanks again EFD!
	11:56pm radioronan: @mariano best of luck in that transfer. Restaurants/bars/venues are in dire straits as it is..losing inventory coz of storm..ugh. This show completely surprised me. I mean..I have normal efd expectations..but...really great, knowledge imparted and godfathers will be revisited. Thanks Evan! Thanks skeleton crew! Be well, stay safe and goodnight y'all!
	11:56pm javakid: thank you EFD and Peter - 100% agree - just great. now let's hear BSWD!
	11:56pm spodiodi: nice Vic Maile retrospective, EFD! thank you! thanks, Skeleton Crew! see you all soon! (mildly interesting: i was hearing Heart and The Damned in that 999 obsessed song earlier)
	11:59pm mariano: Javakid & Gentle Giant: sorry I missed your posts, on my phone - thanks for the kind thoughts! Heya spodi!
	12:00am KWilde: Great show efd!
	12:00am efd: Thanks everyone!
	12:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! ...Excellent!
	12:16am mr_donutsu: Tonight’s theme: “So Much Meat”!!!
	1:33pm Iikka from Helsinki: Great show! Remember seeing both the Godfathers and Screaming Blue Messiahs in the mid-80s.

The brilliant English producer/engineer Vic Maile had an incredible career that was cut short by cancer in 1989, when he was just 45.
He worked with The Who on Live At Leeds, produced multiple albums for Motörhead, and has too many other credits to mention here. We’ll span Vic's career and talk with members of The Godfathers, Girlschool, and more!

	9:27pm Spinning Giant: @stevel totally
	9:28pm javakid: @stevel - yes - and not shy about the bass forward
	9:29pm Stevel: Live at Leeds. Almost a noise experiment, yet, in his hands...?

	9:35pm Carmichael: Can’t Find the Lady.
	9:39pm johnk77: great selections live at leeds was 1970 i remember thinking at the time that it captured live rock better than anything else up to that point
	9:39pm efd: "boob tubes" in the UK = "tube tops" in the US, in case you didn't pick up on that from the context.
	9:39pm Uncle Michael: The staff at the Townhouse watched a lot of television?

	9:46pm johnk77: in the uk desk=console

	9:50pm johnk77: at that time the best studio plates were made by emt this was before digital reverb existed plates were analog reverb
	9:50pm efd: Peter basically programmed my opening set :D
	9:51pm Spinning Giant: such a cool interview!
	9:52pm efd: glad you're enjoying it!
	9:55pm Spinning Giant: ...it's so cool to think he got such a clean rocksolid sound in a raggedy barn with antique equipment...
	9:55pm Spinning Giant: maybe more people should do that!
	9:56pm Hoboken Jack: EFD is Mr. Reliable!!
	9:56pm Carmichael: Wow, gating ...

	9:57pm van chinski: Really enjoying the show, love these focused specials
	9:58pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy Medson Man, SteveL, other Patrick,126464....
	9:59pm javakid: @van I know it's work for EFD and so appreciated. would love a featured producer once a year. enjoy it almost more than a focus on an artist or band.
	9:59pm listener 126464: Howdy Jack, everybody.
	9:59pm Stevel: Jack! Greetings and salivations!
	9:59pm ultradamno: I don't resent it, but I still think The Standells are better.
	10:01pm herb.nyc: Wottta fun show. I’m laughing a lot. Thx! Aside: wlir had a live joe Jackson, and it ended w him saying “most bands have an opener. But we’ve got the inmates coming up next...”. Maybe this is a bootleg?
	10:02pm radioronan: Speaking of good micing. That phoner with Peter sounded fantastic. nice job! I'm a native bostonian that thought the standells version was cover when I was kid..
	10:04pm van chinski: @ javakid - the nice thing about the producer angle is to learn about all the bands and people that are tied together through the association, and how the production affected them and their work. Esp if you know zip about production (like me)
	10:04pm efd: @radioronan Thanks! That was actually recorded via WhatsApp and yeah, it came out sounding great!
	10:06pm javakid: @van agreed - it creates a mosiac of sorts. you learn how the bands are connected, get the band's personality and in the end you understand the bigger picture.
	10:07pm efd: I would pay good money to hear those Girlschool argument tapes!
	10:08pm Kat in Chicago: I'm really enjoying hearing them cackle now.
	10:08pm Hoboken Jack: These two are delightful!
	10:08pm van chinski: This wild.
	10:09pm Stevel: Great stuff!
	10:09pm efd: It was like this pretty much out of the gate with them. They're the best!
	10:09pm van chinski: This IS wild. Geez. ANd, yeah, argument tapes. Start a series of band argument tapes.
	10:10pm efd: listen for the kick drum skip, everyone!
	10:12pm johnk77: here is a neve 8036 now in california: https://www.prairiesun.com/neve-console.html built for pete townshend installed at eel pie studios and also toured w/who and others as a front of house desk:>
	10:14pm Dirty: The chase is better than the catch...Thank You "Evan Fuck Davies"...
	10:14pm efd: Folks, while WFMU hit its overall fundraising goal yesterday (woo-hoo!) I'm still a little short of the goal for my show. If you're enjoying the show, and you're able, I'd love it if you could make a pledge right now! Hit that pledge banner over on the left, or just go to pledge.wfmu.org... Thank you! And thanks to the many of you who have already pledged during our October HELLRAISER Fundraiser!
	10:14pm Carmichael: I LOVE this devil song.
	10:16pm Dirty: a two of hundred dollar donation to your station Evan...Fuck You All.that can't beat that..
	10:16pm efd: it's one of the greats! Equal to the original imho!
	10:17pm mr_donutsu: Mutt Lange can suck it!
	10:18pm Dirty: Oh you dirty bastards..can't even donate 10 bucks...get real...
	10:18pm ultradamno: Highway To Hell would have been a much better record with Vanda & Young instead of Mutt Lange.
	10:18pm Mr. Pumpy: That is right up there with the Priest cover! Maybe tops it even...
	10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: Dirty...it was generous and all...but is that the cost?
	10:19pm Spinning Giant: peanut butter n shrooms...sounds savage!
	10:19pm Dirty: Donate....or get the helll.out...tired of you cumsuckers...DONATE!!!!!!!
	10:20pm Stevel: A no bullshit studio. There to record, not fuck around.
	10:20pm Mike Sin: I'm learnin' things here!
	10:21pm Christopher Lynardakis: This is really great to hear! Just tuned in, these gurlz are r n r history!
	10:21pm Dirty: That's the Cost for your dirty diversion...
	10:22pm Mr. Pumpy: Dirty, you don't know who is pledging what. That and I'm falling for your trolling nonsense.
	10:22pm Mr. Pumpy: EFD...great interview!
	10:23pm Mr. Pumpy: headgirl! Awesome!
	10:24pm Dirty: don't go trolling...you don't know who's real or not...people like you complaining usually aren't donating...
	10:24pm efd: hey Christopher, thanks so much! And thanks to you Mr. Pumpy, and Mike Sin, and all commenters and listeners!
	10:24pm efd: Dirty, you've gotta dial it back a few notches. Everyone's doing their best.
	10:25pm Dirty: I care about things...do they?
	10:25pm Stevel: "...felt like Eskimo Nell. HAAH!"
	10:25pm mr_donutsu: That is exactly how long a guitar solo should be.
	10:26pm Mr. Pumpy: What efd said. If me complimenting his show, and being a donor, is complaining...okay then. Anyhow, again efd...amazing interview and stretch of songs!
	10:27pm Carmichael: Zap, Dirty.
	10:27pm coelacanth∅: Pumpy, "dirty"(as posting for the moment) hasn't donated a thing, whereas it's obvious you have. just a troll.
	10:28pm javakid: exactly - zzzz r-a-d-i-o and pumpkin icons tell that story
	10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: coel...I am the fool for even addressing such wankery! How you been doing? This interview is amazing!
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: (about to attack me now)
	10:29pm Dirty: hey karma did you donate yet?...I doubt it..faker
	10:29pm mr_donutsu: One of my first “production” projects was using pause to cut out all the interminable solos on Another Perfect Day – recording the album to cassette – so that Motörhead sounded like Motörhead. WWVMD
	10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: Great stuff, efd. Girlschool!!!
	10:30pm van chinski: They were awesome to listen to.
	10:30pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't appreciate them back in the day, but I might be a Girlschool fan now.
	10:31pm Dirty: Hey...dirty cowl.I've donated...your the dirty troll as always...
	10:31pm Tommy in Neversink: They reminded me of the two English girls in the original Odd Couple movie
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: Mr.P okay, looking for work now. yeah this is brilliant! how bout you?
	10:31pm Christopher Lynardakis: This was great! Thank you Evan! Thank you gurlz school!
	10:31pm javakid: @tommy the peacock sisters?
	10:31pm Carmichael: Girlschool rocks, I say now in 2020, ha ha ...
	10:32pm Tome: Those Gals were great !<>!
	10:33pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, not too bad. Things are slightly better with pops, which I'll take! I'm selling my place and just moving in with him proper, and that's almost done...so there's that. Teaching, albeit remotely...and basically just trying to move forward in this crazy covid world! Best on the work hunt! I hope you connect soon.
	10:33pm efd: Dirty, this is your last warning. Knock it off.
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: glad to hear it about your dad, P. -i hesitated to ask!
	10:35pm Mr. Pumpy: 999!
	10:37pm javakid: @tommy - I misthought - the Pigeon Sisters
	10:38pm Stevel: "The page "Pinpoint band" does not exist. You can ask for it to be created, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered. Just sayin', someone's overly COVID-bored. Cool song. You can feel the Stranglers presence.
	10:38pm Spinning Giant: this is truly great. the man had an ear. wow. any BBC (Peel or otherwise) interview archives you'll be airing as part of the special, efd...?
	10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, I appreciate it, but you don't have to hesitate. He's doing the type of dialysis at home now, 7 days a week. The adjustment was rough, but he's got the process down pretty much, and the removal of toxins from his body is helping with the mental acuity which suffered from his stroke in December. He'll never be the same, but best he's been in a long time.
	10:40pm Stevel: Great story! Thanks, Arturo!
	10:40pm Mr. Pumpy: @javakid...the Pigeon Sisters! Ha! Oscar and Felix...
	10:41pm Spinning Giant: Pumpy, glad to hear your pop is on the mend...
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: ^ what the Giant said
	10:43pm ike_p: evening all! thanks EFD, loving the show and learning so much as always - got my pledge in, happy to chip in towards my education :)
	10:43pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks!
	10:45pm javakid: Gun Shy and Bikini Red vinyl have been played so many times in this house. so good.
	10:45pm Stevel: Wow. A totally different sound, band-wise. Still, it buzzes.
	10:46pm mariano: Woohoo, we have signal again! Hey efd, Crew, all. Just made it out the other end of that apocalyptic hurricane, kinda feel like I scored, lol.
	10:46pm herb.nyc: Evan not make his goal yet? That’s RUBBISH!
	10:46pm Spinning Giant: welcome back, mariano!
	10:47pm javakid: @mariano hope all on the Louisiana coast are holding it together.
	10:47pm Spinning Giant: @herbnyc, good point!!!
	10:47pm Stevel: mariano: I can't keep up anymore. Was it a big or little hurricane? I saw post Andrew, which was rather impressive, to say the least. Not something I think I NEED to experience.
	10:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Evan and friends - great show. I agree, more producer shows would be interesting.
	10:48pm Benoni: I just pledged to WFMU. And I'm going to vote this year. Civic duty done!
	10:48pm mariano: Thanks Stevel. No flood, but 110mph winds, 1mph short of Cat 3. No power so hanging in my car in the Quarter where there's power and 4g.
	10:49pm efd: yikes, glad you made it through mariano!
	10:50pm efd: Benoni, thank you! and thanks SCLizzie for the kind words!
	10:50pm Joe B: ugh hang in there mariano
	10:50pm Andy: Evan, thanks so much for shining a light on one of the more unsung heroes of r&r! Hopefully sometime soon we'll have a chance to gush over VM in person.
	10:51pm mariano: Thanks efd. Once I'm back online completely I'll upload some footage. Like a mosh pit of trees!
	10:51pm mariano: Thanks Joe B!
	10:52pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...glad to hear you are maintaining! stay safe and dry...because if I didn't say that...ha! Seriously though, glad to hear you report in.
	10:52pm Motobro: Hang in there Mariano, sorry to see you all getting back to back to back beat downs this hurricane season. When we are able to return for jazz fest we got to catch some live tunes and have a few beverages.
	10:53pm Stevel: Good question!
	10:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Benoni, good on you! You just missed a charming lad trying to tell us all how to do the pledge thing. I think you did it right!
	10:54pm Stevel: Good question, re Holiday Head
	10:54pm Benoni: Thanks EFD and Mr. Pumpy. I try!
	10:55pm mariano: Thanks Mr. P - all dry now oddly enough. Was a hell of wind and rain then the eye passed over with its surreal calm, then a relatively minor back end. Thanks to you too, Motobro, and I'll gladly take you up on the Jazz Fest-ivities!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: welcome back mariano! -glad this was a little one
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: hi Lizzie!
	10:59pm mariano: Hey coela! Good to be back.
	10:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Vic Maile does what's needed for the time. I agree! I pretty much think he makes things sound the truest they can at any given moment. that's the good stuff. Just one man's opinion of course, but when you serve the song it becomes timeless. I've suffered trying to do this, but being at the mercy of others who had a stake in the project and having to bow to their wishes...oh well!
	11:00pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Just a fantastic show, EFD. Well played. Great interviews. I never knew much about this producer until this evening.
	11:01pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, I think the rain is hitting NJ all day tomorrow, so this thing must be moving quickly. That is unless there is another one ahead of it. I've not been paying much attention.
	11:01pm efd: thanks Patrick, that confirms my plan is working perfectly! :)
	11:04pm mariano: Yeah, Mr. P, very fast storm. Glad to hear about your pops adjusting to the dialysis and improving!
	11:05pm Christopher Lynardakis: Man diabetes nothing to play around with poor Vic
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: Wow... i had a somewhat similar experience with a girlfriend -on the verge of diabetic coma...that's a story, but point is sometimes it isn't obvious.
	11:05pm Motobro: Me neither, thanks Evan.
	11:08pm Joe B: these two Screaming Blue Messiahs records were huge on my college station at the time, loved them
	11:10pm Stevel: Big on the new (mid-80s) Alternative stations. Can't remember the call letters in Pittsburgh, but it was a lifesaver.
	11:10pm javakid: @Joe - love them - Someone To Talk To is a personal fav song.
	11:11pm Joe B: @java - a chris thompson co write!
	11:11pm ultradamno: Great live band. I believe I drove a Dodge to see them.
	11:12pm Stevel: ultradamno: Indy? Bloomington?
	11:13pm mariano: I remember seeing a punk band called Jesus Chrysler sometime in the 80s.
	11:14pm mariano: Huh, guess I wasn't signed in last comment.
	11:14pm ultradamno: Cinti. With H Bomb Ferguson twitter.com...
	11:14pm ultradamno: twitter.com...
	11:16pm Stevel: Cincy is a bit of a drive. Not a Dodge Vegamatic, I presume?
	11:16pm radioronan: @mariano good to hear storm cleared out.hope clean up is quick and people in storm line are safe.. As @motobro says next time jf is on... Prejean's gumbo should also be shared..
	11:17pm ultradamno: I think it was a Neon
	11:17pm Stevel: efd: Nice how the interviews linked up.
	11:18pm ultradamno: Clickiness up front.
	11:18pm Pedro in Arlington: This show is superb EFD. Those SBM tracks are ageless. Not a single sound cliché. So fine to hear all these years later on the world's greatest radio station along with the interview. And yeah, don't vote for the sociopath.
	11:20pm efd: thanks very much, Pedro!
	11:21pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Tuning in late, but this is amazing. Thanks so much for doing this Evan!
	11:25pm Mr. Pumpy: Todd...you'll have to go back and listen in the archives. Amazing stuff.
	11:25pm efd: thank YOU, Todd! I appreciate the appreciation!
	11:27pm Joe B: so true of those Godfathers records especially. they sound so great
	11:28pm efd: I really renewed my love of the Godfathers as I was working on this show, they're so so great.
	11:28pm mariano: Thanks radioronan. Now helping my cousin transfer meat from his restaurant with no power to the one with power. So much meat!
	11:29pm Stevel: efd: So f-ing good. Arresting.
	11:29pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Mr. Pumpy: Definitely plan to do that.
	11:30pm Mr. Pumpy: the transferring of meat, may it go well
	11:31pm javakid: @efd same arc for me (as probably most in the States) - started with Birth, School... went back to Hot By Hit and then onward. talk about a great live band. saw them at Mississippi Night in St. Louis and they seemed right at home.
	11:31pm Stevel: The Godfathers were, to me, one of those bands carrying forward the edge of punk. The raw sharpness.
	11:32pm Chop Scott: Fantastic show tonight EFD--Thanks!
	11:32pm efd: thank you C. Scott!
	11:33pm Stevel: Thanks to mid-80s alt radio, I heard "This Damnation" for a while before BSWD came out. Such brutal songs. Both, in their own way.
	11:33pm javakid: I remember some at the college station thought they were a gimmick cuz of the suits but their loss.
	11:33pm Stevel: Anyone who says "The Ooo" gets my attention.
	11:35pm efd: there's really been a panoply of English accents throughout the show! I'm surprised I didn't pick one up myself after listening to these interviews all month!
	11:36pm Stevel: You should have a geo-locator map for this episode. Vic Maile=Whole Lotta Love?????
	11:36pm efd: I love this story about "Sun Arise"
	11:38pm Stevel: THAT'S what I'm talking about!!
	11:38pm efd: @Stevel a)I did want to go back and see where everyone was from to understand the accents, and b) I don't think he worked on "Whole Lotta Love" (could be wrong) directly, just answered Jimmy Page's questions. As one does.
	11:39pm Stevel: efd: ...still...
	11:39pm efd: I know!
	11:39pm efd: btw there's a coda to the "Sun Arise" story when the song ends
	11:40pm Stevel: Great stuff, man. Give yourself a raise!
	11:41pm Chop Scott: I'll always want to hear Alice Cooper's voice on this one!
	11:41pm efd: I need another $223 for the station first!
	11:41pm mr_donutsu: The little percussive clicks.
	11:41pm Stevel: Fucking brilliant
	11:42pm efd: "I THOUGHT IT NEEDED A HOWLING WOLF AT THE END!!"
	11:42pm Stevel: Chop Scott: That's how I came to it.
	11:44pm Stevel: E's A'ppy.
	11:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Is it just me or does "Another You" have a J&M Chain vibe to it? Not necessarily the same sound...
	11:49pm Chop Scott: I believe the key word is clarity! Such a wonderful ear on Vic Maile.
	11:50pm efd: @Todd I was thinking J&M Chain mixed with Love & Rockets...?
	11:50pm efd: @C. Scott, absolutely right!
	11:51pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @efd: You'll need to run the other half of that equation by Daniel Blumin!
	11:52pm efd: haha!
	11:52pm ultradamno: I was definitely hearing J&M Chain myself
	11:56pm mariano: Thank you efd (and Peter), amazing show! Thanks Crew, bye all!
	11:56pm Chop Scott: Thanks again EFD!
	11:56pm radioronan: @mariano best of luck in that transfer. Restaurants/bars/venues are in dire straits as it is..losing inventory coz of storm..ugh. This show completely surprised me. I mean..I have normal efd expectations..but...really great, knowledge imparted and godfathers will be revisited. Thanks Evan! Thanks skeleton crew! Be well, stay safe and goodnight y'all!
	11:56pm javakid: thank you EFD and Peter - 100% agree - just great. now let's hear BSWD!
	11:56pm spodiodi: nice Vic Maile retrospective, EFD! thank you! thanks, Skeleton Crew! see you all soon! (mildly interesting: i was hearing Heart and The Damned in that 999 obsessed song earlier)
	11:59pm mariano: Javakid & Gentle Giant: sorry I missed your posts, on my phone - thanks for the kind thoughts! Heya spodi!
	12:00am KWilde: Great show efd!
	12:00am efd: Thanks everyone!
