	9:28pm slugluv1313: WNEW 102.7 FM here in NYC area -- 1975, DAMN i feel old
	9:28pm Tome: he OWNED it ,, and a great guitar player too !<>!
	9:28pm ultradamno: I remember reading an X interview in which Billy Zoom observed that Peter Frampton was the only person who could claim to be alive and lack credibility, or words to that effect
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: Kat, ha, awesome!
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, yep, this my record that I bought (almost) 45 years ago.
	9:28pm prof.fuzz: @efd I cannot imagine it would be even close.
	9:28pm Chop Scott: I believe that he used an Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat? Scott W.?
	9:29pm efd: HERE IT COMES!
	9:29pm Handy Haversack: God, I can recall specific times in the car listening to this. Specific red lights where we SCREAMED ALONG!!!
	9:29pm Stevel: So. Fucking. Cool.
	9:30pm ultradamno: Yep, and I believe the only people to have used the effect justifiably well are Rufus and Chaka on Tell Me Something Good
	9:30pm slugluv1313: WOW efd -- AMAZING!
	9:30pm listener 126464: turn the 8-track over
	9:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: This one is a lot of fun, but I think my favorite part is here about a minute or so before the finale.

	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: @ultradamno Zapp & Roger!!!
	9:31pm Robbie Darling: Mitch was listening to this before the shit hit the fan.
	9:31pm Eugene R.: OK, there is the 1970s musically summed up. If you don't like this, you just don't get the 1970s.
	9:32pm Handy Haversack: APPLAUSE
	9:32pm Stevel: Nice
	9:32pm Tome: .. agrees with the above almost wholeheartedly ,, this could not ber a better example of a live record alone that's for sure !<>!
	9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: <raising the lighter>
	9:32pm prof.fuzz: wooot!
	9:33pm ultradamno: The 70s summed up musically is The Modern Dance. On this I will not be budging.
	9:33pm PaulRobeson1920: What a good talk box it is!
	9:33pm Tome: you could play Close to the Edge from "yessongs" that will do it lolz !
	9:33pm prof.fuzz: glad I listened to Live at Leeds earlier this week too. That's one helluva live album.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, I know standards have degraded this past year, but I now actually feel like I've been to a concert with you all. Want to go outside for a cigarette?
	9:33pm Stevel: That was rather bold, for a WFMU DJ. Or were you flying in the face of non-conformity, thereby, not conforming. Or something.
	9:34pm Mister Dobalina: EFd, the man ....
	9:34pm BH: if you played Do You Feel Like We Do at half-speed, you could have played it for 28 1/2 minutes
	9:34pm Kat in Chicago: Hopefully Scott took advantage for a nice potty break
	9:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: 45, that's like nine in dog years or something.
	9:34pm slugluv1313: YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY thank you efd, i think that Peter Frampton cut REALLY helped to heal a truly traumatic day :)
	9:35pm Scott Williams: Chop Scott, you're the top gear authority, Brother! Tho i will take this opportunity to once again thank Nutley Sam for loaning me his talkbox so I could play a Joe Walsh song a few years ago!
	9:35pm Kat in Chicago: @slugluv It was more effective than I would have expected!
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: I'll ask Bagpipe, Ken.
	9:35pm Tome: still have the Cassette one of the few left from that time,, would sound better on AM radio now !<!
	9:35pm ultradamno: I imagine Frampton felt like felt, like a muppet. So I did not feel as he did.
	9:36pm John L: Some of Frampton Comes Alive was recorded about 20 minutes from my house, at the Long Island Arena. Didn't make it to that show, though. I was probably at a Good Rats concert.
	9:36pm Eugene R.: @Ultradamno: If Mr. efd wishes to drop some Pere Ubu on us, I shall not object.
	9:36pm jeanli: ohhhhhhh my gawd. ok frampton was my first concert at MSG when I was a freshman in high school. SMH
	9:36pm ultradamno: Cheap Trick At Budokan was up there too.
	9:36pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- YES! totally!
	9:37pm Tinley Park Randy: Why do comments sometimes not show?
	9:37pm Kat in Chicago: wow jeanli!
	9:37pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, HP Ken, Handy, Parq, 126464, SteveL, all. Have I mentioned lately that I love you all? Because I do.
	9:37pm drowsy: The applause at the end of the Frampton cut made me very nostalgic for shared experiences in a space. That was fun!
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack. Hey. Right. Back. Atcha, pal. Right back atcha.
	9:38pm prof.fuzz: @ultradamno Yup. Sure was/is.

	9:39pm drowsy: Upon review - what Handy said.
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, drowsy!
	9:41pm Stevel: Jack: [virtual hug]
	9:41pm slugluv1313: @jeanii -- oooooo jealous!!! beleive it or not, i grew up in NJ, but never got to go to MSG for a concert! on the other hand, my first concert was Patti Smith at Princeton University -- 1976, i think?
	9:42pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: I think I know the only song appropriate for what’s happened today in D.C.: 3rd Bass’ “The Gas Face”… All of them get the gas face!
	9:42pm slugluv1313: @Hoboken Jack -- we all love you too!!!
	9:43pm ultradamno: I will say, on the events of the day, I declare today's song "Fanatics" by Minutemen
	9:44pm ultradamno: With this gif twitter.com...
	9:44pm Stevel: Thanks for the oasis. Events somehow unfolded as anticipated, but most of us were good enough to not assume it would happen.
	9:44pm slugluv1313: YES thank you so much for the oasis, efd :)
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Grateful to be here, and proud and grateful to hear your words, efd.
	9:45pm benedeb: Oasis appreciation notification - thanks EFD!
	9:45pm Mike W: YES Evan, deeply felt and thank you very much for all of it. Say whatever you wanna say between songs! I think I speak for all of me when I say I’m here for all of it.
	9:46pm efd: wait a minute, did I miss out on some Hoboken Jack love?? Love you Hoboken Jack!
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - Aha, I'm not familiar with that one. I'll look into that a little later.
	9:48pm Mike W: Oh man! Your playlist note means that I was 8 when my brother, who was 13, brought home Frampton Comes Alive! and played it to absolute death
	9:49pm slugluv1313: so true! yeah, my plan was to have a productive "get stuff done" day -- put on the news radio station just to hear the results of the Georgia elections, hear how the Electoral College process was going, etc. -- and got a huge dose of WTF??!! instead -- so i am SO GRATEFUL for this truly safe space that is WFMU
	9:51pm efd: @Mike W that makes me a few years older than your brother!
	9:52pm Ajax: Latitude!! Hell yes. Also I feel like you do.
	9:54pm PaulRobeson1920: I second Slugluv1313’s sentiments! Thanks efd! and WFMU!
	9:55pm ultradamno: That was helligant
	9:55pm efd: thanks for the kind words everyone, much appreciated!
	9:56pm Mike W: @efd you come off much younger, for the rec
	10:04pm Handy Haversack: So. Many. Swears.

	10:18pm efd: Hi Pete, thanks for dropping by!
	10:18pm BH: note from the outside world, the Senate part of the AZ vote was one-sided (93 against the objection, 6 for). The House will eventually shut up soon
	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Yowza, Floor Kiss was a smoker! pgalub, lot of that going around, friend.
	10:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy. This song is hitting the spot. Pretty large spot at the moment
	10:25pm ultradamno: I liked Mars' 78 album a lot.
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: 'Tis a fine spot, Phillippe.
	10:26pm John L: Wow. I just put the Richard Shirk in my cart. That was great.
	10:28pm Handy Haversack: Dee from Bush Tetras? Nice! Did not realize. He's the best!
	10:29pm Phillippe Bastille: I knew today was gonna be off the hook when I woke up this morning and found that my electric toothbrush wasn’t charged and it took me a minute to realize there was still a way to brush my teeth...
	10:33pm Mike W: hey, Jorge is a buddy of mine, all right!
	10:34pm Handy Haversack: All non-WFMU aspects of 2021 not all they were cracked up to be so far.
	10:35pm ultradamno: Well, Pat Place is the best, but Dee is pretty cool
	10:37pm efd: @Handy and @ultradamno you're both wrong, Cynthia Sley is the best but Pat and Dee are very close seconds.
	10:37pm Scott Williams: Handy, don't forget, things can always get worse; but remember, today was also a Sunny Day in Georgia!
	10:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Nothing like having a place to soak ones head in warm music
	10:38pm Handy Haversack: Bass player Val is also, let's be real, pretty freaking great.
	10:39pm a polished polish lady: Why can’t I click the heart on this track? Oh because I already did like six times
	10:40pm Handy Haversack: Heard, Scott.
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - Iceberg A68a broke up and didn't maul seals and penguins on South Georgia Island, so that's something good in 2021. www.twitter.com...
	10:46pm Handy Haversack: I'll take it, Ken!
	10:49pm Andres: Galaga was the preferred game at our local 7-11.

	10:50pm slugluv1313: love love love to those seals and penguins -- thanks, KFHP!
	10:50pm efd: oh hey speaking of ALL THE BUSH TETRAS, who are all great when you come right down to it, they're doing a streamed performance for Le Poisson Rouge in a couple of weeks: lpr.tv...

	11:16pm wenzo llc.: @handy... I watched the sequel recently... I barely remember it... I think they're still Scottish...
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, it was a far cry from the original, wenzo.
	11:18pm Stevel: Liking the feel of Mini Skirt. Rough and a touch angry. Fits the mood!

	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: Yay for cat dedications

	11:20pm Roberto: But Dusty shouldn't go out tonight! Unless he's supervised.
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: It is, ultradamno. But maybe not as good as Repo Man I. Definitely not as good as Trainspotting.
	11:21pm ultradamno: Is it Carry On Trainspotting or Trainspotting 2: This Time It's Crack?
	11:22pm efd: oh he's not going out, tonight or any night!
	11:22pm spodiodi: guessing the latter, ultra
	11:22pm spodiodi: (so probably the former)

	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: All this election mumbo-jumbo in Congress on CNN tonight looks complicated. Next time, can they just have two candidates duke it out in a cage match Thunderdome kind of thing? It would speed up the process considerably. Thanks, efd. Tape them cables down!

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 4th, Noon - 3pm: Freaky Wilderness (More info...)
Brooklyn’s Freaky Wilderness includes members of Space Merchants, whose 2018 album landed in EFD’s top 10 of that year. They bring their heavy, fuzzy sound to the WFMU airwaves just days before the release of their debut album Immeasurable Heaven. They’ll preview the album in this live set ahead of the album release show on Thursday Dec. 12 at Main Drag in Brooklyn.
Wed. Dec 11th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo. Tune in to this live session and hear for yourself!

	9:21pm Chop Scott: A great live recording--very solid! Cheers EFD!!
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Oh dear. Frampton takes me back to a very specific point in my adolescence. Smiling and squirming at the same damn time.

	9:21pm prof.fuzz: YOU!
	9:22pm efd: I used to play drums along to this song in my bedroom when I was in high school.

	9:28pm slugluv1313: WNEW 102.7 FM here in NYC area -- 1975, DAMN i feel old
	9:28pm Tome: he OWNED it ,, and a great guitar player too !<>!
	9:28pm ultradamno: I remember reading an X interview in which Billy Zoom observed that Peter Frampton was the only person who could claim to be alive and lack credibility, or words to that effect
	9:28pm Handy Haversack: Kat, ha, awesome!
	9:28pm efd: @Kat, yep, this my record that I bought (almost) 45 years ago.
	9:28pm prof.fuzz: @efd I cannot imagine it would be even close.
	9:28pm Chop Scott: I believe that he used an Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat? Scott W.?
	9:29pm efd: HERE IT COMES!
	9:29pm Handy Haversack: God, I can recall specific times in the car listening to this. Specific red lights where we SCREAMED ALONG!!!
	9:29pm Stevel: So. Fucking. Cool.
	9:30pm ultradamno: Yep, and I believe the only people to have used the effect justifiably well are Rufus and Chaka on Tell Me Something Good
	9:30pm slugluv1313: WOW efd -- AMAZING!
	9:30pm listener 126464: turn the 8-track over
	9:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: This one is a lot of fun, but I think my favorite part is here about a minute or so before the finale.

	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: @ultradamno Zapp & Roger!!!
	9:31pm Robbie Darling: Mitch was listening to this before the shit hit the fan.
	9:31pm Eugene R.: OK, there is the 1970s musically summed up. If you don't like this, you just don't get the 1970s.
	9:32pm Handy Haversack: APPLAUSE
	9:32pm Stevel: Nice
	9:32pm Tome: .. agrees with the above almost wholeheartedly ,, this could not ber a better example of a live record alone that's for sure !<>!
	9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: <raising the lighter>
	9:32pm prof.fuzz: wooot!
	9:33pm ultradamno: The 70s summed up musically is The Modern Dance. On this I will not be budging.
	9:33pm PaulRobeson1920: What a good talk box it is!
	9:33pm Tome: you could play Close to the Edge from "yessongs" that will do it lolz !
	9:33pm prof.fuzz: glad I listened to Live at Leeds earlier this week too. That's one helluva live album.
	9:33pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, I know standards have degraded this past year, but I now actually feel like I've been to a concert with you all. Want to go outside for a cigarette?
	9:33pm Stevel: That was rather bold, for a WFMU DJ. Or were you flying in the face of non-conformity, thereby, not conforming. Or something.
	9:34pm Mister Dobalina: EFd, the man ....
	9:34pm BH: if you played Do You Feel Like We Do at half-speed, you could have played it for 28 1/2 minutes
	9:34pm Kat in Chicago: Hopefully Scott took advantage for a nice potty break
	9:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: 45, that's like nine in dog years or something.
	9:34pm slugluv1313: YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY thank you efd, i think that Peter Frampton cut REALLY helped to heal a truly traumatic day :)
	9:35pm Scott Williams: Chop Scott, you're the top gear authority, Brother! Tho i will take this opportunity to once again thank Nutley Sam for loaning me his talkbox so I could play a Joe Walsh song a few years ago!
	9:35pm Kat in Chicago: @slugluv It was more effective than I would have expected!
	9:35pm Handy Haversack: I'll ask Bagpipe, Ken.
	9:35pm Tome: still have the Cassette one of the few left from that time,, would sound better on AM radio now !<!
	9:35pm ultradamno: I imagine Frampton felt like felt, like a muppet. So I did not feel as he did.
	9:36pm John L: Some of Frampton Comes Alive was recorded about 20 minutes from my house, at the Long Island Arena. Didn't make it to that show, though. I was probably at a Good Rats concert.
	9:36pm Eugene R.: @Ultradamno: If Mr. efd wishes to drop some Pere Ubu on us, I shall not object.
	9:36pm jeanli: ohhhhhhh my gawd. ok frampton was my first concert at MSG when I was a freshman in high school. SMH
	9:36pm ultradamno: Cheap Trick At Budokan was up there too.
	9:36pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- YES! totally!
	9:37pm Tinley Park Randy: Why do comments sometimes not show?
	9:37pm Kat in Chicago: wow jeanli!
	9:37pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Scott, HP Ken, Handy, Parq, 126464, SteveL, all. Have I mentioned lately that I love you all? Because I do.
	9:37pm drowsy: The applause at the end of the Frampton cut made me very nostalgic for shared experiences in a space. That was fun!
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack. Hey. Right. Back. Atcha, pal. Right back atcha.
	9:38pm prof.fuzz: @ultradamno Yup. Sure was/is.

	9:40pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, drowsy!
	9:41pm Stevel: Jack: [virtual hug]
	9:41pm slugluv1313: @jeanii -- oooooo jealous!!! beleive it or not, i grew up in NJ, but never got to go to MSG for a concert! on the other hand, my first concert was Patti Smith at Princeton University -- 1976, i think?
	9:42pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: I think I know the only song appropriate for what’s happened today in D.C.: 3rd Bass’ “The Gas Face”… All of them get the gas face!
	9:42pm slugluv1313: @Hoboken Jack -- we all love you too!!!
	9:43pm ultradamno: I will say, on the events of the day, I declare today's song "Fanatics" by Minutemen
	9:44pm ultradamno: With this gif twitter.com...
	9:44pm Stevel: Thanks for the oasis. Events somehow unfolded as anticipated, but most of us were good enough to not assume it would happen.
	9:44pm slugluv1313: YES thank you so much for the oasis, efd :)
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Grateful to be here, and proud and grateful to hear your words, efd.
	9:45pm benedeb: Oasis appreciation notification - thanks EFD!
	9:45pm Mike W: YES Evan, deeply felt and thank you very much for all of it. Say whatever you wanna say between songs! I think I speak for all of me when I say I’m here for all of it.
	9:46pm efd: wait a minute, did I miss out on some Hoboken Jack love?? Love you Hoboken Jack!
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - Aha, I'm not familiar with that one. I'll look into that a little later.
	9:48pm Mike W: Oh man! Your playlist note means that I was 8 when my brother, who was 13, brought home Frampton Comes Alive! and played it to absolute death
	9:49pm slugluv1313: so true! yeah, my plan was to have a productive "get stuff done" day -- put on the news radio station just to hear the results of the Georgia elections, hear how the Electoral College process was going, etc. -- and got a huge dose of WTF??!! instead -- so i am SO GRATEFUL for this truly safe space that is WFMU
	9:51pm efd: @Mike W that makes me a few years older than your brother!
	9:52pm Ajax: Latitude!! Hell yes. Also I feel like you do.
	9:54pm PaulRobeson1920: I second Slugluv1313’s sentiments! Thanks efd! and WFMU!
	9:55pm ultradamno: That was helligant
	9:55pm efd: thanks for the kind words everyone, much appreciated!

	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Yowza, Floor Kiss was a smoker! pgalub, lot of that going around, friend.
	10:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy. This song is hitting the spot. Pretty large spot at the moment

	10:25pm Handy Haversack: 'Tis a fine spot, Phillippe.
	10:26pm John L: Wow. I just put the Richard Shirk in my cart. That was great.
	10:28pm Handy Haversack: Dee from Bush Tetras? Nice! Did not realize. He's the best!
	10:29pm Phillippe Bastille: I knew today was gonna be off the hook when I woke up this morning and found that my electric toothbrush wasn’t charged and it took me a minute to realize there was still a way to brush my teeth...
	10:33pm Mike W: hey, Jorge is a buddy of mine, all right!
	10:34pm Handy Haversack: All non-WFMU aspects of 2021 not all they were cracked up to be so far.
	10:35pm ultradamno: Well, Pat Place is the best, but Dee is pretty cool
	10:37pm efd: @Handy and @ultradamno you're both wrong, Cynthia Sley is the best but Pat and Dee are very close seconds.
	10:37pm Scott Williams: Handy, don't forget, things can always get worse; but remember, today was also a Sunny Day in Georgia!
	10:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Nothing like having a place to soak ones head in warm music
	10:38pm Handy Haversack: Bass player Val is also, let's be real, pretty freaking great.
	10:39pm a polished polish lady: Why can’t I click the heart on this track? Oh because I already did like six times
	10:40pm Handy Haversack: Heard, Scott.
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - Iceberg A68a broke up and didn't maul seals and penguins on South Georgia Island, so that's something good in 2021. www.twitter.com...

	11:16pm wenzo llc.: @handy... I watched the sequel recently... I barely remember it... I think they're still Scottish...
	11:18pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, it was a far cry from the original, wenzo.
	11:18pm Stevel: Liking the feel of Mini Skirt. Rough and a touch angry. Fits the mood!
	11:18pm Bri The Beatnik: Funny you should say that! I was just talking about Trainspotting earlier!
	11:19pm Kat in Chicago: Yay for cat dedications

	11:20pm Roberto: But Dusty shouldn't go out tonight! Unless he's supervised.
	11:20pm Handy Haversack: It is, ultradamno. But maybe not as good as Repo Man I. Definitely not as good as Trainspotting.
	11:21pm ultradamno: Is it Carry On Trainspotting or Trainspotting 2: This Time It's Crack?
	11:22pm efd: oh he's not going out, tonight or any night!
	11:22pm spodiodi: guessing the latter, ultra
	11:22pm spodiodi: (so probably the former)

	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: All this election mumbo-jumbo in Congress on CNN tonight looks complicated. Next time, can they just have two candidates duke it out in a cage match Thunderdome kind of thing? It would speed up the process considerably. Thanks, efd. Tape them cables down!
