Listener comments!
	12:00pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi efd and all!!!
	12:01pm BillyLundun: Release the hounds of funk!
	12:01pm Paulo AD: Hey yo :) what's up dudes
	12:01pm B R M: hello all
	12:02pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Hey hey! It's EFD, the BFD!
	12:03pm efd: A happy how do you do to you! Welcome back to my home, thanks for tuning in!
	12:03pm chris_in_space: Might as well start with the 70s! Hi all.
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: This show's getting to be a habit with me, I tell ya.
	12:04pm Paulo AD: How are you Evan? Nice to listen live
	12:05pm efd: hm, that little fuzzy bit was an error on my end. Sorry about that.
	12:06pm Erin in TO: @efd I saw Sparks the weekend after your Sparks set, and wow, you weren't wrong about it being an incredible show. Thanks again for that set to get me all ready for the show!
	12:06pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd: Did you have to book an extra seat on the flight back for all of the new record store booty?
	12:06pm efd: oh I'm so glad to hear that, Erin! I've been seeing glowing reports from overseas as well!
	12:07pm clarke: ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
	12:08pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and the chickaboom king himself, Daddy Dewdrop!
	12:08pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This sounds so much like Chick-A-Boom. Good day everyone!
	12:08pm efd: @Woods nope, I just brought a bigger suitcase than I needed for the clothes I packed.
	12:08pm Erin in TO: @efd it was a mid-sized venue they played here in Toronto. it was packed, but still managed to feel very intimate. Russ' energy and singing at his age was impressive
	12:09pm clarke: you were just summoning Prof. Fuzz
	12:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd. Good move. First time I visited the in-laws out in San Diego I went to Lou's Records in Encinitas and, well, I had to ship a big box back east!
	12:10pm clarke: btw, i hoisted that EFD suitcase - it really wasn't that heavy. luckily on casters.
	12:10pm clarke: that's back when shipping to yerself was REALISTIC, Woods!
	12:11pm efd: oh I've shipped records back home many times!
	12:12pm egould: Don’t shake your baby.
	12:12pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @clarke. Yeah, though I think the in-laws might have paid for it. Nice folks! I should say, the wife always remembers that that was the trip where I bought my first Jandek record. I blame it on Irwin! Ha.
	12:12pm clarke: but shipping would be crazy expensive the way they got this country rigged, now.
	12:13pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): You just send it media mail. They put it on a donkey and you wait two months.
	12:13pm clarke: @woods: one jandek down - 69 to go!
	12:13pm Paulo AD: So how does the chat here works dudes?
	12:13pm pgalub: Hey efd and everyone. Just on lunch break here shakin' like a bowl of soup. 🍲
	12:14pm LesleyK: Hey efd and all!
	12:16pm Carmichael: You're a comments board pro, Paulo!
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: The Chambers Bros' biggest hit "Time" always scared me to death. This is not that.
	12:16pm clarke: my old manager (RIP - covid) was closing in on having nearly completed his Jandek collection - i think 4 albums away. i gave him all of mine - and i am sure his widow has probably sold them all.
	12:16pm Roberto: "Corned beef baby?"
	12:16pm tim from washington: Tome has come for efd!
	12:16pm clarke: hughie!!
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: Corned beef baby, do you wanna pastrami with me?
	12:16pm luka: need this today. hi, everyone!
	12:16pm tim from washington: Uh, time I mean. Dang, I blew t hat pun.
	12:17pm Paulo AD: Carm hahah more about the nonsense we can chat. Also, not sure how to take that but I will take it in a good way :)
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: Sir Clarke!
	12:17pm clarke: hey hugh - do you want ONE free ticket to see Guided By Voices at the cat's cradle, on the 29th?
	12:17pm Paulo AD: Luka... Have a cwtch from me :)
	12:18pm tim from washington: Gary Toms is awesome! New to me. It's like Bohannon jamming with Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns.
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: I would be excited as hell. what ho?
	12:20pm efd: @tim if you like this look for Gary Toms Empire too. Their "7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (Blow Your Whistle) is a staple of my yearly disco dance party shows.
	12:21pm clarke: i can't make it - they sent me a ticket and a pass for the next day in ATL (which i already mailed to a friend). do you feel like giving me a mailing address, here?? (if not send it to evan)
	12:21pm Paulo AD: Tim, new to me but very decent. Even there is a record shop in my family's home (wife's family wichita) that just does power pop
	12:22pm Carmichael: Nobody said "ugh" for the entire song ...
	12:23pm efd: small victories, Carmichael
	12:23pm tim from washington: Thanks for the tip, efd! Yeah, this Gary Toms is killer I will keep my eyes peeled! That sounds pretty cool, Paulo. You know what your getting when you go th=o that shop.
	12:24pm efd: @Paulo If I'm ever heading to Wichita I'll hit you up for the info!
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters!
	12:25pm clarke: HH!! hows the pup?
	12:25pm clarke: and the Kinkdom?
	12:26pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo.
	12:27pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Yeah how's Bagpipe?
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: Ah, gotcha, Clarke. That would be stupendous. Can you shoot me an email at skysby@yahoo.com ?
	12:29pm clarke: yes! done.
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: Tipping my hat. Amazing. Haven't seen live music in ages. GBV a huge fave. Will do several leg kicks in your honor!
	12:30pm tim from washington: efd - I can picture it now at the Wichita power pop store. As you make your final decisions about the stack you pulled you think "And I need you more than want you. And I want you for all time."
	12:31pm ChukAmok: I feel sorry for all the folks going to the record shops in NOLA 'cause those bins have been picked through by the deft hands of Evan "Funk" Davies, and that kind of damage takes some time to heal from.
	12:31pm clarke: i am so glad - i offered it at many chats, but you were not around. i thought you might go.
	12:31pm clarke: deaf-t hands??
	12:32pm Paulo AD: Efd, I'm in Abu Dhabi but when I next go back I'll let you know the name :)
	12:33pm Paulo AD: Tim - Hahaha I can see it
	12:33pm slocker: Humble brag that you can look at Staten Island any time you want.
	12:34pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I can see the old grange hall across the street any time I want. Nyah!
	12:37pm clarke: that rod stewart was COOL
	12:37pm drr: I listened to a great record on Private Stock yesterday: Brownsville Station (the one with "Martian Boogie" on it).
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, clarke, 3Moons. He's recovering. Very tired of his Circle of Shame and of being cooped up. We'll get the sutures out early next week.
	12:41pm ShelbyG: Hi Evan & funky people!
	12:42pm efd: @drr I love that record! "Lady (Put The Light On)" is an all-time fave!
	12:43pm ShelbyG: tim fw: I dig the Glen Campbell reference 🥳
	12:43pm drr: sounds like Private stock really is the label for you, then, efd.
	12:43pm tim from washington: ShelbyG!!!!! Good to see you!
	12:44pm tim from washington: That new Ted Leo was killer!
	12:44pm ShelbyG: It’s weird to be in a different time zone. I’m glad to see familiar folks on here 🤗
	12:45pm efd: @drr they have plenty of clunkers, though... David Soul, Mary McGregor, etc.
	12:45pm drr: Ha, "Moonlight Feels Right" was released on PS.
	12:46pm ShelbyG: tim, Handy, carm!
	12:46pm prof.fuzz: It's lunch break! Hi EFD! Tim! Handy! Clarke!
	12:46pm Paulo AD: Shelby it's nearly 9pm here
	12:46pm clarke: moonlight DOES feel right! fuZZZZ
	12:47pm prof.fuzz: clarke! i just scrolled up and saw my name mentioned. here I am, sammich in hand, with about an hour between classes. time to get funked up!
	12:48pm clarke: glad to hear the Wylde Kinkdom is doing well. @Fuzz - what kinda sammich??
	12:50pm prof.fuzz: italian sammich: salami, ham, cheese sorta thing. not great but it'll hold me through my next two classes. our campus is a food desert.
	12:50pm clarke: sah-weeeet!!!
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: Very handsome fella on the cover of this Mick Trouble LP. Known to many around these parts! Hey, prof.fuzz!
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: ShelbyG! How's the Sceptred Isle treating you?
	12:53pm clarke: @Hughie - hey, i just saw that this ticket has my name on it. i will send it anyway. anyone know if it HAS to be the same person listed on the ticket to get into shows??
	12:56pm katharsis: Hellos all
	12:58pm HyperDose: What a set, efd!
	12:59pm taryninstereo: Hello hello!
	1:00pm Hughie Considine: The plot thickens, Clarke! Is it routine to check that you match the name on your pre-printed ticket?
	1:01pm Hughie Considine: ah, i see our thoughts overlapped...we'll find out i guess
	1:01pm clarke: dunno, Hugh, but i am sending it, regardless. if there is any issue just contact the band.
	1:02pm clarke: dave champaign usually lurks around the merch booth before their set.
	1:02pm Dave in SoDak: thank u efd re: bandcamp. i'm currently uploading new album there and i hope it remains cool, too. so far so good.
	1:02pm Hughie Considine: I'll vibe my way in, Clarke. They'll recognize a true kicker of elves when they see one.
	1:02pm luka: GENERATION TERRORISTS FOREVER
	1:03pm clarke: and... as EFD continues to monitor the bandcamp situation, i continue to monitor EFD ha ha ha.
	1:03pm luka: fkn love Manics
	1:03pm ShelbyG: Hey HD! Handy, I’m loving it here. No snow, for one. Two, it’s gorgeous. I’m just about to start working in a week or so. It’s where I belong.
	1:03pm Hughie Considine: aw, what a riproarer! Don't hear a heck of a lot of Manics in these parts, so especially welcome.
	1:03pm Paulo AD: Pof fuzz... Have to do hard work to get pork here haha I'm salivating
	1:04pm Figgsrock: Work meetings over, so hello EFDers. EFD, I haven't bought any Cherry Red comps, but I can say that their Howard Jones reissue campaign has been outstanding. Also, that latest Ted Leo Ep is pretty great.
	1:04pm ShelbyG: efd, I was just thinking about Manic Street Preachers..great pick!
	1:04pm Paulo AD: While I'm here, an one inrested in my band?
	1:04pm prof.fuzz: Where are you Paulo?
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Manic Street Preachers! It has been a minute!
	1:05pm luka: the benefit of no one knowing who this band is in the states means i saw them play an 1,000 seat room twice in the last decade
	1:05pm Hughie Considine: "Motorcycle Emptiness" certainly ranks among the Manics' most timeless contributions.
	1:05pm prof.fuzz: @EFD: bandcamp is still working for us. fingers crossed for the future. our new album is currently being mastered and we're looking at a CD and digital release at the end of May, with vinyl somewhere on the distant horizon...
	1:06pm ShelbyG: That’s cool, luka 😎
	1:07pm luka: ShelbyG!! i reckon you moved? not following everything rn, work is chaos.
	1:07pm efd: @prof.fuzz glad to hear that! Please keep me apprised!
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic, ShelbyG! Very glad to hear it!
	1:09pm clarke: keep us ALL apprised Prof!! would u care to share the band name, etc??
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: zoom into my profile pic or click my profile link :)
	1:10pm Handy Haversack: Or click here, clarke: prof-fuzz63.bandcamp.com
	1:10pm HyperDose: Hey Shelby! That's great, so happy for you. You deserve it!
	1:10pm prof.fuzz: thanks for the spam-by-proxy, handy!
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: It was a PSA, prof.fuzz!
	1:13pm prof.fuzz: PSA-by-Proxy
	1:14pm clarke: ah, self-titled.
	1:14pm Paulo AD: Prof fuzz, over here in Abu Dhabi
	1:14pm clarke: or nomered.
	1:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I did read the Bandcamp terms of service update. Didn't see anything particularly evil. But then again, I'm no Mark Hurst.
	1:15pm Paulo AD: MANICS!!! swoon
	1:15pm efd: I did too, @Woods, and I'm also no expert but it looked like it was mainly to reflect the new ownership and not more substantive than that.
	1:16pm Greg from ZONE 5: EFD! Listeners!
	1:16pm clarke: well - i'm relying on youse guys about bandcamp.
	1:17pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd Yeah. I kind of assumed there would have been a lot of chatter about it if there was legal hanky-panky going on in there.
	1:18pm Paulo AD: Here we go Listen to The Alternative Ending, an album by Paulo von Marshall on #SoundCloud soundcloud.app.goo.gl...
	1:18pm Handy Haversack: No Bandcamp Fridays announced past this next one in May, from what I can tell. Not sure whether that will tell.
	1:19pm HyperDose: I don't see a Greatest Adventure fill-in on the schedule. Hope that changes soon!
	1:19pm ShelbyG: luka: yep, currently living in Axminster, Devon, only took forever to get here!
	1:20pm ShelbyG: Thanks, Hyper 🥰
	1:24pm clarke: been a while since i have heard the sounds of john foxx
	1:25pm BillfromRockTavern: Best Ultravox song ever!
	1:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD and crew! I heard the beginning and will hear the end on the road, but currently in beautiful Fairfield NJ getting my hand controls checked out. Will catch up on the middle later!
	1:26pm clarke: jaaaack!
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	1:28pm drr: Monsella, Dick Monda.
	1:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: @HyperDoes: Was supposed to fill in for Marty on Saturday, but sadly that had to be cancelled due to COVID-related shenanigans. Keep watching the skiis!
	1:30pm clarke: how is Zone 5 doin'???
	1:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: *HyperDOSE. Hyper is as hyper does.
	1:32pm Greg from ZONE 5: Hoboken Jack! Love that Midnight Wishers! Doin' well, clarke!
	1:33pm HyperDose: Ah, I thought something may have changed. Hoping the lockdown won't extend past 2 weeks so things can continue progressing back to normal as they were! Hey, Jack. Safe travels!
	1:33pm clarke: "normal" hah!!
	1:34pm clarke: hmm... before king crimson? i would say it would be a close contest.
	1:35pm Mark Hurst: Thanks, Evan!
	1:37pm efd: my pleasure, Mark!
	1:37pm clarke: i mean, wasn't pete sinfield writing lyrics for giles, giles and fripp in like 66-67? i guess Brainen would know, ha ha.
	1:38pm efd: yeah, I feel like that's such an obvious one that he would have caught that!
	1:38pm prof.fuzz: off to class. thanks efd! stay well y'all!
	1:38pm clarke: i know: not your deal. ha ha.
	1:39pm clarke: Fuzz - you have a new follower on the dreaded bandcamp! dios mio baby.
	1:42pm clarke: does this song have enough key changes?? whoah.
	1:43pm BH: until I saw the song title, I thought she was singing something close to "gravymaker" instead of "great beatmaker"
	1:47pm Frank Zaatar: @Clarke: I think Robert Hunter joined the Dead in the summer of '67 so one way or another it is a close call. Oh well, we'll take it up with Bob Brainen.
	1:48pm clarke: ha ha, yes - he must know to post that so confidently. i read the Procul bio, but cant recall much of it (esp dates!)
	1:52pm herb.nyc: Hola. Lunch over. Enjoying the music. And wondering if Fabio is here. Bec Suzy Hotrod mentioned the Nick Cave documentary at upcoming Montclair film festival. Anything else worf seeing? (I think Dave Hill called Montclair the “paris of New Jersey”. So if anything, we’ll always have Montclair) Oh, and organizing records by label. Interesting. I thought Evan was gonna say by color. Thrift shops sometimes do that w their tees
	1:54pm YETI BOB: Hi EFD. Last night my wife and I were drinking some Kentucky whisky and she called it Evan "Funk" Williams. Thought you might like to know.
	1:54pm efd: ha! I'll allow it.
	1:55pm clarke: if we were playing croquet....
	1:57pm Various Julius: bez-yay
	1:57pm mrdonutsu: bay-zee-ayyyy (Fonzie style)
	1:58pm Travisano66: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:58pm clarke: the fonz!! aaaayyyyy!!!
	1:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: They don't allow you to use Adobe Illustrator unless you can properly pronounce "bez-ee-ay."
	1:59pm Travisano66: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:59pm Marshall Stacks: Bézier is the name of the most common technique for drawing curves on a computer - and its inventor. It's a pretty elegant idea.
	1:59pm mariano: Bézier is a type of curve (as any Illustrator user will know). Not to be confused with Béziers, a town in SW France. This pedantic service announcement is brought to you by Lurking Mariano.
	2:00pm Asheville Jon: SMAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:00pm Bag of Boxes: Girl, is your name Béziers? Cause I love your curves.
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: And I am as socially mediated as I am ever to get, for one week more.
	2:01pm YETI BOB: Getting even more pedantic, Bézier curves are based on cubic polynomials. But even if you don't understand math this is a pretty cool posting that explains the idea with animations twitter.com...
	2:02pm YETI BOB: Hi Handy! Just opened a 2020 Pinot Noir to go with my lunch. Cheers!
	2:03pm Polvough: Keith Morris of Circle Jerks got covid on tour recently, as did most of operners 7 Seconds
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, YB!
	2:05pm drr: That must be why the CJs N.O. shows got postponed.
	2:05pm The Oscar: Busy working, but chiming in to say I was in Wormtown for the holidays this past weekend-- George's Coney Island has the best hot dogs in New England!
	2:06pm Alvy Singer: @EFD...Have you come across any info on the new Jon Spencer on vinyl?
	2:07pm Mike Sin: Great show today! I've got to hand it to bands who are still doing their best to venture out on the road... Don't know how they could avoid COVID... Unless they stayed hermetically sealed in their travel vans, emerged for the show, and then ran right back to said vans without talking to anyone anywhere...
	2:07pm efd: @Alvy I haven't
	2:08pm efd: this is not the song I meant to play from this comp, although it's a fine song and all
	2:08pm efd: thanks Mike!
	2:08pm egould: Is this Michael Shelley’s show? Because this is a bona fide Number 1 Hit.
	2:09pm Figgsrock: What song did you mean to play?
	2:09pm Frank Zaatar: It's OK with me--it's one of the most beautifully crafted songs I know.
	2:09pm YETI BOB: Love the way this song doesn't have a chorus. Was just thinking about it yesterday, thanks for playing it EFD!
	2:10pm Jason from Houston: Oh!
	2:10pm efd: @Figgsrock you'll find out soon enough! Track 19 instead of track 1.
	2:11pm Jason from Houston: Good afternoon! Listening and working away!
	2:11pm YETI BOB: Hey Jason, nice to see you.
	2:12pm Goyim in the AM: I like Bikini Kill and I like Milli Vanilli, and I do not like this weird combination of the two.
	2:12pm efd: there we go
	2:12pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyyy there, YETI BOB.
	2:13pm tim from washington: I heard a rumor that Aaron from Minneapolis is filling in for Bryce. I'm intrigued.....
	2:13pm Hoboken Jack: I just pulled off Rt 3 to share my Nobel submission re: Up the Junction. saltinwound.com...
	2:13pm YETI BOB: That's cool Goyim. Just remember that whenever you don't like something, somebody else is digging it.
	2:14pm Alvy Singer: @EFD...Absolutely love the new Savak album. Those guys nailed it on this one. No Blues No Jazz is super catchy.
	2:14pm Figgsrock: Ah yes, this song would be perfectly placed between Jon Spencer and the Linda Lindas!
	2:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Aren't the Linda Linda's like 15 or something?
	2:15pm efd: @Figgsrock Exactly!!
	2:15pm drr: I think I'm in the minority of listeners who enjoy not-all-positive comments and comparisons on the Accuplaylist. I liked that song more than the previous LLs I've heard.
	2:16pm tim from washington: I didn't hear any Bikini Kill in the Linda Linda but lots of Joan Jett and Donnas and Slade which is alright with me.
	2:16pm YETI BOB: Woods: LindaLinda's age statistics: N=4 min=11.00 avg=14.25 max=17.00 σ=2.17
	2:17pm efd: I didn't really care for the Linda Lindas song that put them on the map, but there are a couple of songs on the album that are more to my (personal, obvs) taste.
	2:17pm Goyim in the AM: The Linda Lindas are fifteen. No idea how old their session musicians are. (I am NOT saying teenage girls cannot possibly play but that I don't think THESE ones play. Every bit of live footage I have seen has set off my mime alarms.)
	2:18pm YETI BOB: drr: i HATE negative comments!
	2:18pm drr: Oh yeah??!?
	2:18pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks efd for Faz Waltz. A new favorite
	2:19pm drr: BOOOOO! BOOOOO!
	2:19pm YETI BOB: ;-)
	2:19pm Jason from Houston: holds YETI BOB back
	2:20pm Goyim in the AM: I get a teenage boy to type in my negative comments for me, because boomers cannot type.
	2:20pm ChukAmok: Before Linda Lindas signed to Epitaph I had no idea that label still existed.
	2:20pm drr: I liked that Faz Waltz too. Carrying on the Roy Wood tradition.
	2:20pm Handy Haversack: The Linda Lindas are: Bela Salazar - guitar and vocals Eloise Wong - bass and vocals Lucia de la Garza - guitar and vocals Mila de la Garza - drums, percussion, and vocals I really think conspiracy theories about their not playhing their instruments seems like a lot of effort to put into something you don't like.
	2:20pm Frank Zaatar: @Hoboken: Yes,you have written an essay I had been meaning to write for decades! By the way, I would add the (somewhat) consistent and conscious half-rhymes in the song ("lady/ maybe" (doctor/stop her"). I am sure that this was Difford's choice.
	2:21pm drr: Does "drinking" rhyme with "stinging"?
	2:21pm YETI BOB: drr: It's a great example of "slant rhyme", that song is full of it.
	2:22pm Paulo AD: Just ate hot crossed buns with vegan mozzarella, delish
	2:22pm drr: I thought I was mishearing "Stinkin'".
	2:22pm Frank Zaatar: @drr: No, and that's the point.
	2:22pm tim from washington: Here's another efd/John Peel connection. They're both DJs. DJs on the radio.
	2:23pm YETI BOB: Also, I honestly don't care if people want to get negative. But sometimes I catch myself before posting a negative comment, thinking, e.g., "does anybody really care if I think the Fall are wildly overrated?" So I keep it to myself (usually).
	2:23pm YETI BOB: Ok, here's a snarky comparison. Wet Leg are the Elastica of 2022.
	2:24pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello Alles( in a very non-negative salutation!) Great shew.
	2:24pm drr: So you're saying their material will hold up really well? Bold!
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Is it Nirvana's version of "Man Who Sold the World" hiding in this melody someplace?
	2:25pm Goyim in the AM: @Handy, years spent developing my mime alarm are well-spent years I cherish. I nearly got into fierce argument with a friend at a 90s NIN show I had wandered into by mistake, and then the guitarist knocked over his mic and fell on his instrument and his guitar and vocal parts continued and my friend and I made up.
	2:25pm YETI BOB: I don't think Elastica held up well at all!
	2:25pm efd: @Handy hold that thought!
	2:26pm winston legthigh: hello. i like joe belock alot.
	2:26pm drr: Why were they called Elastica then??!?
	2:26pm tim from washington: I hear it to Handy!
	2:26pm Andres: Elastica, while ecstatic at the time, the band ultimately did not have, er, legs.
	2:26pm ifeelfatnsassy: Man, I like almost every track on this album. They are so much fun live.
	2:26pm efd: I really liked Elastica and still do, so I don't have a problem with comparing them to Wet Leg.
	2:26pm Figgsrock: Okay, here's a negative comment, but about the USPS and pre-ordering from Bandcamp. I pre-ordered the Wet Leg album on a Bandcamp Friday. It shipped on April 7th, the day before release...and it still hasn't shown up yet. And the tracking hasn't been updated since April 11th.
	2:26pm Handy Haversack: Somewhere between Elastica and Wet Leg, there is ... Sans-A-Belt!
	2:27pm tim from washington: Astute observation, drr.
	2:27pm efd: @ifeelfatnsassy The album is great! Haven't caught them live yet but not surprised to hear that they're good.
	2:27pm Jason from Houston: Good job, Handy. LOL
	2:27pm YETI BOB: efd: It wasn't meant as a total slam. I sort of enjoyed Elastica in the 90s. But they were sort of a flash in the pan, if you know what I mean. (And they borrowed a lot of Wire and Bowie riffs.)
	2:28pm clarke: holding that thought...
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: Yes, love this cover! LesleyK's Rhoda Dakar show on the Drop-In was excellent listening! wfmu.org...
	2:28pm drr: They also had the Fall's MES in for a guest vocal.
	2:28pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey, sorry, got sucked back into work. @HH glad to hear Bagpipe is on the mend and I am LOVING this version of Man who sold the world...
	2:28pm luka: @YB i hold my tongue every time Pulp gets played. it;s OK for me to say it right now because no one is playing Pulp.
	2:28pm tim from washington: Handy - there's a Sans-A-Belt outlet store in Michigan City, Indiana. Somehow Sans-A-Belt stayed in business after John Entwhistle passed away.
	2:29pm ifeelfatnsassy: The first show on the recent US tour was here in Milwaukee. It felt like I was crashing a slumber party. Crowd was so into it and, mind you, the album wasn't even out yet. Short set, as happens with early-career acts, but man was it fun.
	2:29pm ChukAmok: Saw Elastica on one of the '95 Lollapolooza dates (after Sinead O'Connor left the tour) and loved seeing them. Lifelong crush on Justine Fleishman.
	2:29pm YETI BOB: tim, that is an ace comment, i'd favorite it if i could
	2:29pm clarke: where can a guy get a belt in Michigan City?
	2:30pm drr: Try the beltway.
	2:30pm Alvy Singer: Elastica also nicked The Stranglers No More Heroes for their track Waking Up.
	2:30pm ifeelfatnsassy: crashing a slumber party as in they were just so unabashedly goofy and didn't even seem to be performing to an audience. Anyway, I sure hope they have staying power and more music to come.
	2:30pm Roberto: Assuming you mean Frischmann, ChukAmok, same goes for me.
	2:30pm clarke: or the taverna.
	2:31pm drr: Clicky star for Rhoda.
	2:31pm Handy Haversack: Rhoda Dakar is also on Bandcamp: rhodadakar.bandcamp.com
	2:31pm tim from washington: @clarke - the topless bar?
	2:32pm clarke: sure!
	2:32pm efd: thanks Handy, had a malformed link in there
	2:32pm ChukAmok: Yes, thank you Roberto.
	2:32pm YETI BOB: @clarke: Are you looking for a rust belt?
	2:33pm Roberto: Sexiest sneer in rock n roll.
	2:33pm clarke: no: pine!
	2:34pm Monica: enjoying the program, efd! you can take the boy out of the 80s but...
	2:35pm YETI BOB: @clarke: Michigan City is about 850 miles too far north for that!
	2:36pm clarke: and michigan state ever fuhhhhthaaah
	2:36pm drr: hey this is great!
	2:36pm efd: haaa, thank you Mo! Great fill-in for Scott last week.
	2:37pm YETI BOB: Just drove through Michigan City this past weekend, actually. Out for a Sunday drive, up to a nice little vineyard in Michigan.
	2:37pm drr: I think this is the first Fall song I ever heard (this or Fit and Working Again)
	2:38pm Handy Haversack: Well, we have to step outside and start cleaning up the back yard a bit. We keep putting it off, waiting for warmth, but here we are. Will be listening! Many thanks, efd!
	2:38pm clarke: the warmth of the heat.
	2:40pm tim from washington: I wouldn't mind hearing this a couple more times before Scott comes on.
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: Played my first softball game in 2.5 years last night. I thought we'd freeze, but we managed to stay warm. And today I am further warmed by intense muscle pain. Circle of life!
	2:41pm Bryant in TO: I used to worry about falling for industry plants or otherwise hyped artists. When I heard such things said about Wet Leg, I bristled, questioning my taste. But I liked their stuff so much, I figured I should just trust my ear. I've discovered so many songs on FMU from the 70s and 80s that were likely lumped in with a sound or scene, thought of as dispensable, just chasing a trend. So thanks to the Wet Leg talk, I feel more comfortable thinking, if the music makes me feel happier than I'd be if there was no music playing, that's good enough for me.
	2:41pm drr: what league (if any), Handy?
	2:41pm clarke: careful, handy - it's a jungle out thar!!! (marlin perkins voice)
	2:41pm luka: clap clap clap
	2:42pm drr: Bryant: yeah, Marcy Playground was a great example of that. But you know....people liked the tune.
	2:43pm clarke: who? ha ha ha.
	2:43pm tim from washington: I dig the Surf Combat sounding bass in this Automatic!
	2:44pm tim from washington: Handy - I really hope your team's uniform was modeled after early 80s Astros uniforms.
	2:44pm drr: Clarke: I walked past the actual Marcy Playground often in that time thinking "WHY NOT ME?"
	2:45pm clarke: where?
	2:45pm drr: yeah, what tim said. You need a jersey that says "ANDUJAR".
	2:46pm drr: Marcy Playground is on Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn.
	2:46pm clarke: ah. why not you?!?!?
	2:47pm BH: "NO TIGERS" - a warning sign posted at a bar that has banned Detroit Tigers players from entering
	2:48pm YETI BOB: Bryant: For me it's not about suspicions of industry hype. It's more like, I feel that, as a band, you can only get so far on attitude and borrowed riffs ... but if people like it, I'm not trying to take away anybody's joy!
	2:49pm drr: well, there's stuff like "I'm Too Sexy" that gets a laugh but when it's still hanging around years later we all wish it had never happened.
	2:50pm clarke: stepping out for a sec - helping handy in the yard. be back...
	2:50pm drr: Also, attitude and borrowed riffs took The Upper Crust pretty far!
	2:51pm ChukAmok: @drr When RightSaidFred gets a 180g virgin vinyl re-issue for Record Store Day it's time to burn it all down.
	2:51pm tim from washington: I think a better title would have been "Glam in the Can".
	2:51pm Carmichael: But very few of my peers have actually heard the song from which the band took it's name, "Right Said Fred" by Bernard Cribbins.
	2:52pm nathan: ha, this is a hoot. what year is this?
	2:52pm drr: ChukAmok: matches ready
	2:53pm drr: Also chuk: looking forward to the disc of outtakes and unreleased tracks.
	2:53pm Alvy Singer: The album title seems to be a play on the Chinn/Chapman song Can the Can.
	2:54pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you EFD!!
	2:54pm tim from washington: Thanks, efd!
	2:54pm ChukAmok: @drr Hahaha. "Right Said Fred: The four-track demos" on limited-edition picture disc.
	2:54pm efd: @Nathan it's from 1978; a remake of a 1973 song by Starbuck called "Do You Like Boys" which I need to go track down immediatement!
	2:55pm nathan: @efd cool, thanks for the info (and the show in general)!
	2:55pm Carmichael: Starbuck? The Moonlight Feels Right guys?
	2:55pm efd: I'm not sure! I suppose there could be more than one band with that name.
	2:56pm YETI BOB: oh, have we reached the almost-end already? this was fun. see ya next week!
	2:56pm Chop Scott: Sounded great EFD!!
	2:56pm radioronan: Thanks, Evan!
	2:56pm drr: "The Right Fred Said Demos" box set, with 64 page booklet by Irwin Chusid
	2:57pm drr: did Moonlight Feels Right get mentioned twice on this show? Yes, yes it did.
	2:57pm love2laf: Thank you EFD, got me through at home work, and chores with a fantastic afternoon of music
	2:57pm efd: @Chop Scott Thank you! Always appreciate hearing from you!
	2:58pm ChukAmok: For those of us who patronize record stores at any and every opportunity, Record Store Day is just a pain. Not to mention all the independent artists who can't get their music pressed onto a vinyl record because the plants are choked with albums that no one was every asking to be re-issued.
	2:58pm Bryant in TO: @YETI BOB Yeah, I get that. And while I'm at a loss of examples right now, there are many power pop bands I've taken deep dives on that, as you said, just have borrowed riffs and attitude, but nothing distinguishing them, so I don't revisit them
	2:58pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, EFD! Thanks!
	2:59pm ChukAmok: But, i digress... Thanks EFD!
	3:13pm clarke: thanks evan - was 'called away'. great fun this show. !!!

	12:03pm chris_in_space: Might as well start with the 70s! Hi all.
	12:04pm Hughie Considine: This show's getting to be a habit with me, I tell ya.
	12:04pm Paulo AD: How are you Evan? Nice to listen live
	12:05pm efd: hm, that little fuzzy bit was an error on my end. Sorry about that.
	12:06pm Erin in TO: @efd I saw Sparks the weekend after your Sparks set, and wow, you weren't wrong about it being an incredible show. Thanks again for that set to get me all ready for the show!
	12:06pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd: Did you have to book an extra seat on the flight back for all of the new record store booty?
	12:06pm efd: oh I'm so glad to hear that, Erin! I've been seeing glowing reports from overseas as well!
	12:07pm clarke: ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
	12:08pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and the chickaboom king himself, Daddy Dewdrop!
	12:08pm Hopey Sockmonkey: This sounds so much like Chick-A-Boom. Good day everyone!
	12:08pm efd: @Woods nope, I just brought a bigger suitcase than I needed for the clothes I packed.
	12:08pm Erin in TO: @efd it was a mid-sized venue they played here in Toronto. it was packed, but still managed to feel very intimate. Russ' energy and singing at his age was impressive
	12:09pm clarke: you were just summoning Prof. Fuzz
	12:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd. Good move. First time I visited the in-laws out in San Diego I went to Lou's Records in Encinitas and, well, I had to ship a big box back east!
	12:10pm clarke: btw, i hoisted that EFD suitcase - it really wasn't that heavy. luckily on casters.
	12:10pm clarke: that's back when shipping to yerself was REALISTIC, Woods!
	12:11pm efd: oh I've shipped records back home many times!
	12:12pm egould: Don’t shake your baby.
	12:12pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @clarke. Yeah, though I think the in-laws might have paid for it. Nice folks! I should say, the wife always remembers that that was the trip where I bought my first Jandek record. I blame it on Irwin! Ha.
	12:12pm clarke: but shipping would be crazy expensive the way they got this country rigged, now.
	12:13pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): You just send it media mail. They put it on a donkey and you wait two months.
	12:13pm clarke: @woods: one jandek down - 69 to go!
	12:13pm Paulo AD: So how does the chat here works dudes?
	12:13pm pgalub: Hey efd and everyone. Just on lunch break here shakin' like a bowl of soup. 🍲
	12:14pm LesleyK: Hey efd and all!
	12:16pm Carmichael: You're a comments board pro, Paulo!
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: The Chambers Bros' biggest hit "Time" always scared me to death. This is not that.
	12:16pm clarke: my old manager (RIP - covid) was closing in on having nearly completed his Jandek collection - i think 4 albums away. i gave him all of mine - and i am sure his widow has probably sold them all.
	12:16pm Roberto: "Corned beef baby?"
	12:16pm tim from washington: Tome has come for efd!
	12:16pm clarke: hughie!!
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: Corned beef baby, do you wanna pastrami with me?
	12:16pm luka: need this today. hi, everyone!
	12:16pm tim from washington: Uh, time I mean. Dang, I blew t hat pun.
	12:17pm Paulo AD: Carm hahah more about the nonsense we can chat. Also, not sure how to take that but I will take it in a good way :)
	12:17pm Hughie Considine: Sir Clarke!
	12:17pm clarke: hey hugh - do you want ONE free ticket to see Guided By Voices at the cat's cradle, on the 29th?
	12:17pm Paulo AD: Luka... Have a cwtch from me :)
	12:18pm tim from washington: Gary Toms is awesome! New to me. It's like Bohannon jamming with Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns.
	12:20pm Hughie Considine: I would be excited as hell. what ho?
	12:20pm efd: @tim if you like this look for Gary Toms Empire too. Their "7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (Blow Your Whistle) is a staple of my yearly disco dance party shows.
	12:21pm clarke: i can't make it - they sent me a ticket and a pass for the next day in ATL (which i already mailed to a friend). do you feel like giving me a mailing address, here?? (if not send it to evan)
	12:21pm Paulo AD: Tim, new to me but very decent. Even there is a record shop in my family's home (wife's family wichita) that just does power pop
	12:22pm Carmichael: Nobody said "ugh" for the entire song ...
	12:23pm efd: small victories, Carmichael
	12:23pm tim from washington: Thanks for the tip, efd! Yeah, this Gary Toms is killer I will keep my eyes peeled! That sounds pretty cool, Paulo. You know what your getting when you go th=o that shop.
	12:24pm efd: @Paulo If I'm ever heading to Wichita I'll hit you up for the info!
	12:24pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters!
	12:25pm clarke: HH!! hows the pup?
	12:25pm clarke: and the Kinkdom?
	12:26pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo.
	12:27pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Yeah how's Bagpipe?
	12:28pm Hughie Considine: Ah, gotcha, Clarke. That would be stupendous. Can you shoot me an email at skysby@yahoo.com ?
	12:29pm clarke: yes! done.
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: Tipping my hat. Amazing. Haven't seen live music in ages. GBV a huge fave. Will do several leg kicks in your honor!
	12:30pm tim from washington: efd - I can picture it now at the Wichita power pop store. As you make your final decisions about the stack you pulled you think "And I need you more than want you. And I want you for all time."
	12:31pm ChukAmok: I feel sorry for all the folks going to the record shops in NOLA 'cause those bins have been picked through by the deft hands of Evan "Funk" Davies, and that kind of damage takes some time to heal from.
	12:31pm clarke: i am so glad - i offered it at many chats, but you were not around. i thought you might go.
	12:31pm clarke: deaf-t hands??
	12:32pm Paulo AD: Efd, I'm in Abu Dhabi but when I next go back I'll let you know the name :)
	12:33pm Paulo AD: Tim - Hahaha I can see it
	12:33pm slocker: Humble brag that you can look at Staten Island any time you want.
	12:34pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I can see the old grange hall across the street any time I want. Nyah!
	12:37pm clarke: that rod stewart was COOL
	12:37pm drr: I listened to a great record on Private Stock yesterday: Brownsville Station (the one with "Martian Boogie" on it).
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Hey, clarke, 3Moons. He's recovering. Very tired of his Circle of Shame and of being cooped up. We'll get the sutures out early next week.
	12:41pm ShelbyG: Hi Evan & funky people!
	12:42pm efd: @drr I love that record! "Lady (Put The Light On)" is an all-time fave!
	12:43pm ShelbyG: tim fw: I dig the Glen Campbell reference 🥳
	12:43pm drr: sounds like Private stock really is the label for you, then, efd.
	12:43pm tim from washington: ShelbyG!!!!! Good to see you!
	12:44pm tim from washington: That new Ted Leo was killer!
	12:44pm ShelbyG: It’s weird to be in a different time zone. I’m glad to see familiar folks on here 🤗
	12:45pm efd: @drr they have plenty of clunkers, though... David Soul, Mary McGregor, etc.
	12:45pm drr: Ha, "Moonlight Feels Right" was released on PS.
	12:46pm ShelbyG: tim, Handy, carm!
	12:46pm prof.fuzz: It's lunch break! Hi EFD! Tim! Handy! Clarke!
	12:46pm Paulo AD: Shelby it's nearly 9pm here
	12:46pm clarke: moonlight DOES feel right! fuZZZZ
	12:47pm prof.fuzz: clarke! i just scrolled up and saw my name mentioned. here I am, sammich in hand, with about an hour between classes. time to get funked up!
	12:48pm clarke: glad to hear the Wylde Kinkdom is doing well. @Fuzz - what kinda sammich??
	12:50pm prof.fuzz: italian sammich: salami, ham, cheese sorta thing. not great but it'll hold me through my next two classes. our campus is a food desert.
	12:50pm clarke: sah-weeeet!!!
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: Very handsome fella on the cover of this Mick Trouble LP. Known to many around these parts! Hey, prof.fuzz!
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: ShelbyG! How's the Sceptred Isle treating you?
	12:53pm clarke: @Hughie - hey, i just saw that this ticket has my name on it. i will send it anyway. anyone know if it HAS to be the same person listed on the ticket to get into shows??
	12:56pm katharsis: Hellos all
	12:58pm HyperDose: What a set, efd!
	12:59pm taryninstereo: Hello hello!
	1:00pm Hughie Considine: The plot thickens, Clarke! Is it routine to check that you match the name on your pre-printed ticket?
	1:01pm Hughie Considine: ah, i see our thoughts overlapped...we'll find out i guess
	1:01pm clarke: dunno, Hugh, but i am sending it, regardless. if there is any issue just contact the band.
	1:02pm clarke: dave champaign usually lurks around the merch booth before their set.
	1:02pm Dave in SoDak: thank u efd re: bandcamp. i'm currently uploading new album there and i hope it remains cool, too. so far so good.
	1:02pm Hughie Considine: I'll vibe my way in, Clarke. They'll recognize a true kicker of elves when they see one.
	1:02pm luka: GENERATION TERRORISTS FOREVER
	1:03pm clarke: and... as EFD continues to monitor the bandcamp situation, i continue to monitor EFD ha ha ha.
	1:03pm luka: fkn love Manics
	1:03pm ShelbyG: Hey HD! Handy, I’m loving it here. No snow, for one. Two, it’s gorgeous. I’m just about to start working in a week or so. It’s where I belong.
	1:03pm Hughie Considine: aw, what a riproarer! Don't hear a heck of a lot of Manics in these parts, so especially welcome.
	1:03pm Paulo AD: Pof fuzz... Have to do hard work to get pork here haha I'm salivating
	1:04pm Figgsrock: Work meetings over, so hello EFDers. EFD, I haven't bought any Cherry Red comps, but I can say that their Howard Jones reissue campaign has been outstanding. Also, that latest Ted Leo Ep is pretty great.
	1:04pm ShelbyG: efd, I was just thinking about Manic Street Preachers..great pick!
	1:04pm Paulo AD: While I'm here, an one inrested in my band?
	1:04pm prof.fuzz: Where are you Paulo?
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Manic Street Preachers! It has been a minute!
	1:05pm luka: the benefit of no one knowing who this band is in the states means i saw them play an 1,000 seat room twice in the last decade
	1:05pm Hughie Considine: "Motorcycle Emptiness" certainly ranks among the Manics' most timeless contributions.
	1:05pm prof.fuzz: @EFD: bandcamp is still working for us. fingers crossed for the future. our new album is currently being mastered and we're looking at a CD and digital release at the end of May, with vinyl somewhere on the distant horizon...
	1:06pm ShelbyG: That’s cool, luka 😎
	1:07pm luka: ShelbyG!! i reckon you moved? not following everything rn, work is chaos.
	1:07pm efd: @prof.fuzz glad to hear that! Please keep me apprised!
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic, ShelbyG! Very glad to hear it!
	1:09pm clarke: keep us ALL apprised Prof!! would u care to share the band name, etc??
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: zoom into my profile pic or click my profile link :)
	1:10pm Handy Haversack: Or click here, clarke: prof-fuzz63.bandcamp.com
	1:10pm HyperDose: Hey Shelby! That's great, so happy for you. You deserve it!
	1:10pm prof.fuzz: thanks for the spam-by-proxy, handy!
	1:12pm Handy Haversack: It was a PSA, prof.fuzz!
	1:13pm prof.fuzz: PSA-by-Proxy
	1:14pm clarke: ah, self-titled.
	1:14pm Paulo AD: Prof fuzz, over here in Abu Dhabi
	1:14pm clarke: or nomered.
	1:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I did read the Bandcamp terms of service update. Didn't see anything particularly evil. But then again, I'm no Mark Hurst.
	1:15pm Paulo AD: MANICS!!! swoon
	1:15pm efd: I did too, @Woods, and I'm also no expert but it looked like it was mainly to reflect the new ownership and not more substantive than that.
	1:16pm Greg from ZONE 5: EFD! Listeners!
	1:16pm clarke: well - i'm relying on youse guys about bandcamp.
	1:17pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd Yeah. I kind of assumed there would have been a lot of chatter about it if there was legal hanky-panky going on in there.
	1:18pm Paulo AD: Here we go Listen to The Alternative Ending, an album by Paulo von Marshall on #SoundCloud soundcloud.app.goo.gl...
	1:18pm Handy Haversack: No Bandcamp Fridays announced past this next one in May, from what I can tell. Not sure whether that will tell.
	1:19pm HyperDose: I don't see a Greatest Adventure fill-in on the schedule. Hope that changes soon!
	1:19pm ShelbyG: luka: yep, currently living in Axminster, Devon, only took forever to get here!
	1:20pm ShelbyG: Thanks, Hyper 🥰
	1:24pm clarke: been a while since i have heard the sounds of john foxx
	1:25pm BillfromRockTavern: Best Ultravox song ever!
	1:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD and crew! I heard the beginning and will hear the end on the road, but currently in beautiful Fairfield NJ getting my hand controls checked out. Will catch up on the middle later!
	1:26pm clarke: jaaaack!
	1:27pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	1:28pm drr: Monsella, Dick Monda.
	1:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: @HyperDoes: Was supposed to fill in for Marty on Saturday, but sadly that had to be cancelled due to COVID-related shenanigans. Keep watching the skiis!
	1:30pm clarke: how is Zone 5 doin'???
	1:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: *HyperDOSE. Hyper is as hyper does.
	1:32pm Greg from ZONE 5: Hoboken Jack! Love that Midnight Wishers! Doin' well, clarke!
	1:33pm HyperDose: Ah, I thought something may have changed. Hoping the lockdown won't extend past 2 weeks so things can continue progressing back to normal as they were! Hey, Jack. Safe travels!
	1:33pm clarke: "normal" hah!!
	1:34pm clarke: hmm... before king crimson? i would say it would be a close contest.
	1:35pm Mark Hurst: Thanks, Evan!
	1:37pm efd: my pleasure, Mark!
	1:37pm clarke: i mean, wasn't pete sinfield writing lyrics for giles, giles and fripp in like 66-67? i guess Brainen would know, ha ha.
	1:38pm efd: yeah, I feel like that's such an obvious one that he would have caught that!
	1:38pm prof.fuzz: off to class. thanks efd! stay well y'all!
	1:38pm clarke: i know: not your deal. ha ha.
	1:39pm clarke: Fuzz - you have a new follower on the dreaded bandcamp! dios mio baby.
	1:42pm clarke: does this song have enough key changes?? whoah.
	1:43pm BH: until I saw the song title, I thought she was singing something close to "gravymaker" instead of "great beatmaker"
	1:47pm Frank Zaatar: @Clarke: I think Robert Hunter joined the Dead in the summer of '67 so one way or another it is a close call. Oh well, we'll take it up with Bob Brainen.
	1:48pm clarke: ha ha, yes - he must know to post that so confidently. i read the Procul bio, but cant recall much of it (esp dates!)
	1:52pm herb.nyc: Hola. Lunch over. Enjoying the music. And wondering if Fabio is here. Bec Suzy Hotrod mentioned the Nick Cave documentary at upcoming Montclair film festival. Anything else worf seeing? (I think Dave Hill called Montclair the “paris of New Jersey”. So if anything, we’ll always have Montclair) Oh, and organizing records by label. Interesting. I thought Evan was gonna say by color. Thrift shops sometimes do that w their tees
	1:54pm YETI BOB: Hi EFD. Last night my wife and I were drinking some Kentucky whisky and she called it Evan "Funk" Williams. Thought you might like to know.
	1:54pm efd: ha! I'll allow it.
	1:55pm clarke: if we were playing croquet....
	1:57pm Various Julius: bez-yay
	1:57pm mrdonutsu: bay-zee-ayyyy (Fonzie style)
	1:58pm Travisano66: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:58pm clarke: the fonz!! aaaayyyyy!!!
	1:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: They don't allow you to use Adobe Illustrator unless you can properly pronounce "bez-ee-ay."
	1:59pm Travisano66: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:59pm Marshall Stacks: Bézier is the name of the most common technique for drawing curves on a computer - and its inventor. It's a pretty elegant idea.
	1:59pm mariano: Bézier is a type of curve (as any Illustrator user will know). Not to be confused with Béziers, a town in SW France. This pedantic service announcement is brought to you by Lurking Mariano.
	2:00pm Asheville Jon: SMAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:00pm Bag of Boxes: Girl, is your name Béziers? Cause I love your curves.
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: And I am as socially mediated as I am ever to get, for one week more.
	2:01pm YETI BOB: Getting even more pedantic, Bézier curves are based on cubic polynomials. But even if you don't understand math this is a pretty cool posting that explains the idea with animations twitter.com...
	2:02pm YETI BOB: Hi Handy! Just opened a 2020 Pinot Noir to go with my lunch. Cheers!
	2:03pm Polvough: Keith Morris of Circle Jerks got covid on tour recently, as did most of operners 7 Seconds
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, YB!
	2:05pm drr: That must be why the CJs N.O. shows got postponed.
	2:05pm The Oscar: Busy working, but chiming in to say I was in Wormtown for the holidays this past weekend-- George's Coney Island has the best hot dogs in New England!
	2:06pm Alvy Singer: @EFD...Have you come across any info on the new Jon Spencer on vinyl?
	2:07pm Mike Sin: Great show today! I've got to hand it to bands who are still doing their best to venture out on the road... Don't know how they could avoid COVID... Unless they stayed hermetically sealed in their travel vans, emerged for the show, and then ran right back to said vans without talking to anyone anywhere...
	2:07pm efd: @Alvy I haven't
	2:08pm efd: this is not the song I meant to play from this comp, although it's a fine song and all
	2:08pm efd: thanks Mike!
	2:08pm egould: Is this Michael Shelley’s show? Because this is a bona fide Number 1 Hit.
	2:09pm Figgsrock: What song did you mean to play?
	2:09pm Frank Zaatar: It's OK with me--it's one of the most beautifully crafted songs I know.
	2:09pm YETI BOB: Love the way this song doesn't have a chorus. Was just thinking about it yesterday, thanks for playing it EFD!
	2:10pm Jason from Houston: Oh!
	2:10pm efd: @Figgsrock you'll find out soon enough! Track 19 instead of track 1.
	2:11pm Jason from Houston: Good afternoon! Listening and working away!
	2:11pm YETI BOB: Hey Jason, nice to see you.
	2:12pm Goyim in the AM: I like Bikini Kill and I like Milli Vanilli, and I do not like this weird combination of the two.
	2:12pm efd: there we go
	2:12pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyyy there, YETI BOB.
	2:13pm tim from washington: I heard a rumor that Aaron from Minneapolis is filling in for Bryce. I'm intrigued.....
	2:13pm Hoboken Jack: I just pulled off Rt 3 to share my Nobel submission re: Up the Junction. saltinwound.com...
	2:13pm YETI BOB: That's cool Goyim. Just remember that whenever you don't like something, somebody else is digging it.
	2:14pm Alvy Singer: @EFD...Absolutely love the new Savak album. Those guys nailed it on this one. No Blues No Jazz is super catchy.
	2:14pm Figgsrock: Ah yes, this song would be perfectly placed between Jon Spencer and the Linda Lindas!
	2:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Aren't the Linda Linda's like 15 or something?
	2:15pm efd: @Figgsrock Exactly!!
	2:15pm drr: I think I'm in the minority of listeners who enjoy not-all-positive comments and comparisons on the Accuplaylist. I liked that song more than the previous LLs I've heard.
	2:16pm tim from washington: I didn't hear any Bikini Kill in the Linda Linda but lots of Joan Jett and Donnas and Slade which is alright with me.
	2:16pm YETI BOB: Woods: LindaLinda's age statistics: N=4 min=11.00 avg=14.25 max=17.00 σ=2.17
	2:17pm efd: I didn't really care for the Linda Lindas song that put them on the map, but there are a couple of songs on the album that are more to my (personal, obvs) taste.
	2:17pm Goyim in the AM: The Linda Lindas are fifteen. No idea how old their session musicians are. (I am NOT saying teenage girls cannot possibly play but that I don't think THESE ones play. Every bit of live footage I have seen has set off my mime alarms.)
	2:18pm YETI BOB: drr: i HATE negative comments!
	2:18pm drr: Oh yeah??!?
	2:18pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks efd for Faz Waltz. A new favorite
	2:19pm drr: BOOOOO! BOOOOO!
	2:19pm YETI BOB: ;-)
	2:19pm Jason from Houston: holds YETI BOB back
	2:20pm Goyim in the AM: I get a teenage boy to type in my negative comments for me, because boomers cannot type.
	2:20pm ChukAmok: Before Linda Lindas signed to Epitaph I had no idea that label still existed.
	2:20pm drr: I liked that Faz Waltz too. Carrying on the Roy Wood tradition.
	2:20pm Handy Haversack: The Linda Lindas are: Bela Salazar - guitar and vocals Eloise Wong - bass and vocals Lucia de la Garza - guitar and vocals Mila de la Garza - drums, percussion, and vocals I really think conspiracy theories about their not playhing their instruments seems like a lot of effort to put into something you don't like.
	2:20pm Frank Zaatar: @Hoboken: Yes,you have written an essay I had been meaning to write for decades! By the way, I would add the (somewhat) consistent and conscious half-rhymes in the song ("lady/ maybe" (doctor/stop her"). I am sure that this was Difford's choice.
	2:21pm drr: Does "drinking" rhyme with "stinging"?
	2:21pm YETI BOB: drr: It's a great example of "slant rhyme", that song is full of it.
	2:22pm Paulo AD: Just ate hot crossed buns with vegan mozzarella, delish
	2:22pm drr: I thought I was mishearing "Stinkin'".
	2:22pm Frank Zaatar: @drr: No, and that's the point.
	2:22pm tim from washington: Here's another efd/John Peel connection. They're both DJs. DJs on the radio.
	2:23pm YETI BOB: Also, I honestly don't care if people want to get negative. But sometimes I catch myself before posting a negative comment, thinking, e.g., "does anybody really care if I think the Fall are wildly overrated?" So I keep it to myself (usually).
	2:23pm YETI BOB: Ok, here's a snarky comparison. Wet Leg are the Elastica of 2022.
	2:24pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello Alles( in a very non-negative salutation!) Great shew.
	2:24pm drr: So you're saying their material will hold up really well? Bold!
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: Is it Nirvana's version of "Man Who Sold the World" hiding in this melody someplace?
	2:25pm Goyim in the AM: @Handy, years spent developing my mime alarm are well-spent years I cherish. I nearly got into fierce argument with a friend at a 90s NIN show I had wandered into by mistake, and then the guitarist knocked over his mic and fell on his instrument and his guitar and vocal parts continued and my friend and I made up.
	2:25pm YETI BOB: I don't think Elastica held up well at all!
	2:25pm efd: @Handy hold that thought!
	2:26pm winston legthigh: hello. i like joe belock alot.
	2:26pm drr: Why were they called Elastica then??!?
	2:26pm tim from washington: I hear it to Handy!
	2:26pm Andres: Elastica, while ecstatic at the time, the band ultimately did not have, er, legs.
	2:26pm ifeelfatnsassy: Man, I like almost every track on this album. They are so much fun live.
	2:26pm efd: I really liked Elastica and still do, so I don't have a problem with comparing them to Wet Leg.
	2:26pm Figgsrock: Okay, here's a negative comment, but about the USPS and pre-ordering from Bandcamp. I pre-ordered the Wet Leg album on a Bandcamp Friday. It shipped on April 7th, the day before release...and it still hasn't shown up yet. And the tracking hasn't been updated since April 11th.
	2:26pm Handy Haversack: Somewhere between Elastica and Wet Leg, there is ... Sans-A-Belt!
	2:27pm tim from washington: Astute observation, drr.
	2:27pm efd: @ifeelfatnsassy The album is great! Haven't caught them live yet but not surprised to hear that they're good.
	2:27pm Jason from Houston: Good job, Handy. LOL
	2:27pm YETI BOB: efd: It wasn't meant as a total slam. I sort of enjoyed Elastica in the 90s. But they were sort of a flash in the pan, if you know what I mean. (And they borrowed a lot of Wire and Bowie riffs.)
	2:28pm clarke: holding that thought...
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: Yes, love this cover! LesleyK's Rhoda Dakar show on the Drop-In was excellent listening! wfmu.org...
	2:28pm drr: They also had the Fall's MES in for a guest vocal.
	2:28pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey, sorry, got sucked back into work. @HH glad to hear Bagpipe is on the mend and I am LOVING this version of Man who sold the world...
	2:28pm luka: @YB i hold my tongue every time Pulp gets played. it;s OK for me to say it right now because no one is playing Pulp.
	2:28pm tim from washington: Handy - there's a Sans-A-Belt outlet store in Michigan City, Indiana. Somehow Sans-A-Belt stayed in business after John Entwhistle passed away.
	2:29pm ifeelfatnsassy: The first show on the recent US tour was here in Milwaukee. It felt like I was crashing a slumber party. Crowd was so into it and, mind you, the album wasn't even out yet. Short set, as happens with early-career acts, but man was it fun.
	2:29pm ChukAmok: Saw Elastica on one of the '95 Lollapolooza dates (after Sinead O'Connor left the tour) and loved seeing them. Lifelong crush on Justine Fleishman.
	2:29pm YETI BOB: tim, that is an ace comment, i'd favorite it if i could
	2:29pm clarke: where can a guy get a belt in Michigan City?
	2:30pm drr: Try the beltway.
	2:30pm Alvy Singer: Elastica also nicked The Stranglers No More Heroes for their track Waking Up.
	2:30pm ifeelfatnsassy: crashing a slumber party as in they were just so unabashedly goofy and didn't even seem to be performing to an audience. Anyway, I sure hope they have staying power and more music to come.
	2:30pm Roberto: Assuming you mean Frischmann, ChukAmok, same goes for me.
	2:30pm clarke: or the taverna.
	2:31pm drr: Clicky star for Rhoda.
	2:31pm Handy Haversack: Rhoda Dakar is also on Bandcamp: rhodadakar.bandcamp.com
	2:31pm tim from washington: @clarke - the topless bar?
	2:32pm clarke: sure!
	2:32pm efd: thanks Handy, had a malformed link in there
	2:32pm ChukAmok: Yes, thank you Roberto.
	2:32pm YETI BOB: @clarke: Are you looking for a rust belt?
	2:33pm Roberto: Sexiest sneer in rock n roll.
	2:33pm clarke: no: pine!
	2:34pm Monica: enjoying the program, efd! you can take the boy out of the 80s but...
	2:35pm YETI BOB: @clarke: Michigan City is about 850 miles too far north for that!
	2:36pm clarke: and michigan state ever fuhhhhthaaah
	2:36pm drr: hey this is great!
	2:36pm efd: haaa, thank you Mo! Great fill-in for Scott last week.
	2:37pm YETI BOB: Just drove through Michigan City this past weekend, actually. Out for a Sunday drive, up to a nice little vineyard in Michigan.
	2:37pm drr: I think this is the first Fall song I ever heard (this or Fit and Working Again)
	2:38pm Handy Haversack: Well, we have to step outside and start cleaning up the back yard a bit. We keep putting it off, waiting for warmth, but here we are. Will be listening! Many thanks, efd!
	2:38pm clarke: the warmth of the heat.
	2:40pm tim from washington: I wouldn't mind hearing this a couple more times before Scott comes on.
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: Played my first softball game in 2.5 years last night. I thought we'd freeze, but we managed to stay warm. And today I am further warmed by intense muscle pain. Circle of life!
	2:41pm Bryant in TO: I used to worry about falling for industry plants or otherwise hyped artists. When I heard such things said about Wet Leg, I bristled, questioning my taste. But I liked their stuff so much, I figured I should just trust my ear. I've discovered so many songs on FMU from the 70s and 80s that were likely lumped in with a sound or scene, thought of as dispensable, just chasing a trend. So thanks to the Wet Leg talk, I feel more comfortable thinking, if the music makes me feel happier than I'd be if there was no music playing, that's good enough for me.
	2:41pm drr: what league (if any), Handy?
	2:41pm clarke: careful, handy - it's a jungle out thar!!! (marlin perkins voice)
	2:41pm luka: clap clap clap
	2:42pm drr: Bryant: yeah, Marcy Playground was a great example of that. But you know....people liked the tune.
	2:43pm clarke: who? ha ha ha.
	2:43pm tim from washington: I dig the Surf Combat sounding bass in this Automatic!
	2:44pm tim from washington: Handy - I really hope your team's uniform was modeled after early 80s Astros uniforms.
	2:44pm drr: Clarke: I walked past the actual Marcy Playground often in that time thinking "WHY NOT ME?"
	2:45pm clarke: where?
	2:45pm drr: yeah, what tim said. You need a jersey that says "ANDUJAR".
	2:46pm drr: Marcy Playground is on Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn.
	2:46pm clarke: ah. why not you?!?!?
	2:47pm BH: "NO TIGERS" - a warning sign posted at a bar that has banned Detroit Tigers players from entering
	2:48pm YETI BOB: Bryant: For me it's not about suspicions of industry hype. It's more like, I feel that, as a band, you can only get so far on attitude and borrowed riffs ... but if people like it, I'm not trying to take away anybody's joy!
	2:49pm drr: well, there's stuff like "I'm Too Sexy" that gets a laugh but when it's still hanging around years later we all wish it had never happened.
	2:50pm clarke: stepping out for a sec - helping handy in the yard. be back...
	2:50pm drr: Also, attitude and borrowed riffs took The Upper Crust pretty far!
	2:51pm ChukAmok: @drr When RightSaidFred gets a 180g virgin vinyl re-issue for Record Store Day it's time to burn it all down.
	2:51pm tim from washington: I think a better title would have been "Glam in the Can".
	2:51pm Carmichael: But very few of my peers have actually heard the song from which the band took it's name, "Right Said Fred" by Bernard Cribbins.
	2:52pm nathan: ha, this is a hoot. what year is this?
	2:52pm drr: ChukAmok: matches ready
	2:53pm drr: Also chuk: looking forward to the disc of outtakes and unreleased tracks.
	2:53pm Alvy Singer: The album title seems to be a play on the Chinn/Chapman song Can the Can.
	2:54pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you EFD!!
	2:54pm tim from washington: Thanks, efd!
	2:54pm ChukAmok: @drr Hahaha. "Right Said Fred: The four-track demos" on limited-edition picture disc.
	2:54pm efd: @Nathan it's from 1978; a remake of a 1973 song by Starbuck called "Do You Like Boys" which I need to go track down immediatement!
	2:55pm nathan: @efd cool, thanks for the info (and the show in general)!
	2:55pm Carmichael: Starbuck? The Moonlight Feels Right guys?
	2:55pm efd: I'm not sure! I suppose there could be more than one band with that name.
	2:56pm YETI BOB: oh, have we reached the almost-end already? this was fun. see ya next week!
	2:56pm Chop Scott: Sounded great EFD!!
	2:56pm radioronan: Thanks, Evan!
	2:56pm drr: "The Right Fred Said Demos" box set, with 64 page booklet by Irwin Chusid
	2:57pm drr: did Moonlight Feels Right get mentioned twice on this show? Yes, yes it did.
	2:57pm love2laf: Thank you EFD, got me through at home work, and chores with a fantastic afternoon of music
	2:57pm efd: @Chop Scott Thank you! Always appreciate hearing from you!
	2:58pm ChukAmok: For those of us who patronize record stores at any and every opportunity, Record Store Day is just a pain. Not to mention all the independent artists who can't get their music pressed onto a vinyl record because the plants are choked with albums that no one was every asking to be re-issued.
	2:58pm Bryant in TO: @YETI BOB Yeah, I get that. And while I'm at a loss of examples right now, there are many power pop bands I've taken deep dives on that, as you said, just have borrowed riffs and attitude, but nothing distinguishing them, so I don't revisit them
	2:58pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, EFD! Thanks!
	2:59pm ChukAmok: But, i digress... Thanks EFD!
	3:13pm clarke: thanks evan - was 'called away'. great fun this show. !!!
