Listener comments!
	9:03pm G: Beyond his smooth taste, Lamin excels at getting the Evan, Funk, and Davies in the correct order :)
	9:12pm G: people are on pins and needles awaiting the live sets...
	9:12pm steve: heyo
	9:13pm steve: i just read the description of TV Ghost (i've never heard them) and i think you're right G.
	9:13pm efd: Hey G, hey steve! Looks like a quiet night so far on ye olde comments board.
	9:15pm kevin g: Looking forward to hearing the live sets. Saw the show at Cake Shop on Friday and thought they were both great.
	9:16pm chinchilla: definitely looking forward to the live sets!
	9:18pm BadGuyZero: Hola!
	9:18pm Holly in NC: Hello Evan & funky friends! I am SO excited about TV Ghosts & Wax Idols!!!!!!!!!! Per usual, not home 'til 10:30ish, so thank goodness for archives. Thank you thank you thank you.
	9:18pm kevin g: The band Laurels, who also played at the Cake Shop show, were great, too. Never heard of them before.
	9:19pm efd: Laurels are going to be live on Julie's show later tonight!
	9:19pm BadGuyZero: Laurels live set on Julie's show in a few hours!
	9:19pm G: Did someone this afternoon forget to close the boldface html that starts before "Swans" on the right side of the current homepage and then never ends? Just a thought. Takes me back to my old blogging days. :-) I especially like how different the blue show links look under "Playing Today"
	9:20pm BadGuyZero: EFD posted while I was reviewing my post. hee!
	9:20pm kevin g: Oh nuts!
	9:21pm steve: G: someone put a <b/> where they should've </b>-ed.
	9:23pm BadGuyZero: I checked out this horseface uk stuff after hearing the track you played last week. I saw Screaming Blue Messiahs open for Echo & The Bunnymen in 87/88.
	9:24pm G: that's what I was saying, Steve -- I pulled that one on livejournal a couple times around 2004, till I noticed how weird it looked after you put then entry up. After that I always doublechecked before calling it done :)
	9:24pm efd: I've alerted the authorities about the html error - thanks for mentioning it!
	9:25pm fleep: Whew!
	9:26pm G: If you forget to close the italics tag after you open it for a book title, the whole rest of the entry is italicized, until and unless you fix it O.o
	9:27pm steve: ah, memories. thanks for making me open Developer Tools btw G, im always looking for something to troubleshoot.
	9:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I been listenin'!
	9:31pm chinchilla: I noticed the boldface makeover mistake too, I wonder if any other webpage, even with an active audience, would've gotten a dozen emails or private messages, funny that on FMU we can just have EFD shoot out an email, whilst in the middle of doing a radio show... sometimes the terrestrial/internet mashup of the FMU community kinda blows my mind
	9:34pm Kathy: water remembers everything it has ever encountered. We are mostly water.
	9:35pm chinchilla: it's like... real time and localized and physical, but also totally removed from me and might as well be be 5,000 miles away on the internet instead of 5 states over on the "radio"... sometimes I feel the need to call in to one of the talk shows on a land line to get that nostalgic small-world feeling
	9:38pm chinchilla: ...stoned again...
	9:38pm fleep: @Kathy are you familiar with the work of Masuru Emoto? The water crystals?
	9:39pm Kathy: YES!! Water the Great Mystery movie, it is amazing
	9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: right chinchilla - & then, on other hand, I wonder why there aren't more people on the Boards here from all over the U.S. even - but careful what you wish for!...
	9:44pm Chop Scott: Great mix Ernie I.!!
	9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yo La Tengo were on KCRW today : www.kcrw.com... & since I've finally switched from Explorer 6 to this Mac here - I could watch as well as listen. The DJ there asked them about their relation to FMU.
	9:46pm efd: @Scott, you are correct!
	9:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - sounds great! - & w/ their volume & range of sounds, I suspect that might be particularly impressive?...
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: Live set sounds excellent. Going to be away from comments somewhat this evening but I would like to remark that the Anodyne track played earlier was a gem. Never heard them before.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& w/ the Mac, I can Favorite, @ last!...#37 here, ferinstance ...yet another flavor in the diversity of Live treats brought to us by FMU - !!
	9:52pm fleep: @chinchilla I find that the comments board collapses all distance. FMU shows without a comments board are 'radio' and remote. This is an interactive medium, it's radio+
	9:53pm chinchilla: @RRabbit, indeed. And it's all lovely nonetheless
	9:54pm Julie: this is so good
	9:54pm eyenoise: TV GHOST great stuff! Please say this will be on the FMA.
	9:55pm efd: This will be on the FMA!
	9:55pm DPCD: Thank you, EFD. Outstanding show!
	9:55pm chinchilla: @fleep, for sure. I have but one of many possible experiences/view points of the fmu experience as a not too far removed (MPLS, grew up in Maryland) but certainly internet-based listener.. I guess I really tend to try to hold on to the analog concept even so. It certainly is like radio+
	9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...w/ Social Media & mobiles of all sorts - 'Double Screening' w/ broadcasts (having one Media open whilst Interacting on another screen) is actually pretty common now - but perhaps more w/ TV still than 'Radio'?
	9:57pm Andria: I wish this band would come and play Ottawa
	9:57pm Holly in NC: I love TV Ghost, so happy archived & FMA! The one song I've been able to catch sounds fantastic.
	9:57pm chinchilla: This live set sounds terrific.
	9:58pm unnameable boox: got the show playing in the store, really enjoying the tv ghost set and bummed I missed them earlier this week.
	9:59pm jeff-m: yes, very nice
	10:01pm efd: for those of you keeping track of the song titles, ignore them. To long to explain, but I will be revising them shortly.
	10:03pm fleep: Great set!
	10:03pm G: Sounding a little Sonic Youthy here :)
	10:03pm BadGuyZero: What a set!
	10:04pm Julie: saturday-cool band day
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..I'm still so spun by being able to Stream FMU in the first place - along w/ great Stations & Streams all over the World - to even begin to come to terms w/ the Archives! - & then there's Podcasts, the Cloud... - but the Friendship Society here supersedes my cynicism: I am honored to amongst y'all folx for the information & yucks & camaraderie I get on the Boards... - Oh! Songtitles: No biggie, but if I Favorite from the Live set, will it end up the right ones - ?
	10:07pm Danne D: Hi funk fans :) Hi EFD :)
	10:07pm Alex B.: Took me long enough to notice you can post from the Android app.
	10:10pm Loretta: Hi evan & all of the people enjoying the show tonight!
	10:10pm Julie: NUMAN!!
	10:11pm common: thanks for the tubeway!!!!!!!!
	10:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I always thot 'Are Friends Electric' was better than 'Cars' - so glad to hear yet another TubeWayTune...
	10:13pm Droll: How did I miss Tubeway Army all these years? It's like Gary Neumann with guitars. Please tell me they merge Fastway's checkerboard fashion with army fashion for a total group look & sound.
	10:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: The band that backed the miserable Lydia lunch on 1313 was great. Much better than that lump deserved.
	10:22pm Julie: Yes yes Yes! Flowers of Romance
	10:24pm fearson: this song is kewl, evan!
	10:25pm fearson: this dry bonnet one is kewl too but i was referring to the public image one
	10:30pm Julie: track 8 is the title of the 2nd song on the record
	10:31pm efd: that's what I said right?
	10:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...dats whut I heard...
	10:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or one Side or the other : ) ...
	10:34pm Julie: Oh, I thought you said it was untitled
	10:35pm kevin g: I just switched from the radio to the flash player and I can barely hear anything. Is that just me?
	10:36pm efd: No, that was the Stacian track.
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I dunno!...3rd base... - They got this sound down... - I'm fine w/ iTunes...
	10:37pm Julie: serves me right for multitasking!
	10:37pm efd: Kevin, dumb question but is the level all the way up on the flash player and your computer?
	10:37pm Tome: nice set both of them!! .. I use VLC but I'm not on windoes either,.,,.,
	10:38pm efd: thanks Tome!
	10:38pm efd: @Julie :)
	10:39pm fleep: The main page bolding error is now corrected. You may leave the shelters and return to your homes.
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah! I didn't get to see it...
	10:40pm Alex B.: Volume is fine here, streaming to wdlxtv media appliance.
	10:41pm kevin g: The volume's up as high as it goes. I tried to listen to something on youtube and it was a little louder, but not by much. I think I'll try switching back to radio as it may be an energy saving setting I put on my computer and forgot about.
	10:46pm Holly in NC: Hi everyone for real! BTW, it's fun to follow Hether on twitter - currently she is, erm, NOT happy about Savages comparisons ;-)
	10:46pm BadGuyZero: I switched to the Flash player on my laptop and it was just a tad bit lower in volume.
	10:46pm Julie: OH NO
	10:47pm BadGuyZero: Did someone hit the weather button in the booth?
	10:47pm Andrew Waterloo: I heard that too
	10:48pm Julie: EBS test
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or the AntiSocial Media AirHorn...
	10:49pm bill: but now it sounds beautiful
	10:49pm Holly in NC: Funny, thought that was Durham warning - it's quite stormy here
	10:49pm Tome: OiY must be a hamster in the server again ...
	10:50pm bill: disregard, check
	10:50pm fleep: [puts helmet and flashlight away]
	10:50pm BadGuyZero: It was just the angry, distorted tone that's usually followed by the voice telling us to immediately seek shelter.
	10:50pm Julie: Clay Pigeon's knee strikes again
	10:50pm efd: yeah, just pretend that didn't happen.
	10:51pm BadGuyZero: I hope the warning tone makes it to the FMA version!
	10:51pm G: That was the E"BS" warning :)
	10:53pm Tome: it did but it was GREAT !!!!
	10:54pm G: damn you EBS!
	10:56pm BadGuyZero: Did anyone else just hear a cuckoo?
	10:56pm Danne D: Coo Coo!
	10:57pm steve: sold! on both bands. good stuff.
	10:57pm G: That was left over from the Trapp Family Singers live set, they left in a hurry...
	11:01pm fearson: ohhhh what time on sunday??
	11:01pm BadGuyZero: The first run of the "Discipline & Desire" LP is on clear and black vinyl. It's a nice lookin' reckid!
	11:03pm Holly in NC: Sigh. I bet no Neil Peart ;-) 's OK, yay Max Roach.
	11:04pm G: Let me know when the intro is over someone :)
	11:07pm Droll: Holly, I don't expect to hear Tony Thompson (MY favorite drummer) or full-band Zeppelin, either. But it's cool to assume we already know those songs, they don't get played on FMU for that reason in the first place. I'm really excited about the drum show! Remember: It's an exhibition, not a competition! . o O ( I said it before, but the new ticket giveaway bumper is utterly surrealistic. )
	11:09pm Holly in NC: @Droll - Wasn't complaining. At all. Joking, in fact.
	11:11pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hearing Parquet Courts used as bumper music on CNBC's Squawk Box program yesterday, with the 60 year old host singing along, was interesting.
	11:13pm Droll: Holly, Joke all you like, but Neil may have inspired more than one of the featured drummers to take up drums. FWIW, Rush hating is passé, they already made into the RRHoF and sold a gazillion records.
	11:16pm G: I don't quite remember the Larks Tongue cover that way :)
	11:17pm Droll: G, Bill Bruford or Alan White?
	11:17pm Holly in NC: @Droll - you know (or maybe you don't) that I'm a huge Rush fan (that 1 girl in line for the bathroom at the concert !) ;-) EFD, I believe, does not share the love.
	11:17pm Danne D: Of course they won't have Peart - Carl Palmer all the way baby!! :)
	11:17pm Holly in NC: Oh, nice cover!
	11:17pm kevin g: OH man Adult! I've been thinking of them recently for whatever reason. Didn't know they had a new record! will have to pick that up. Would love to see them again, their show with Erase Errata a few years ago is still one of my all time faves!
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neil Peart's a great drummer technically - like Mariah Carey is a great singer technically...
	11:20pm dan in falls church VA: ah sh*t I missed the TV Ghost set!
	11:20pm Junichi: You got good taste in relief pitchers AND tunes brau.
	11:20pm dan in falls church VA: Hey daniel, did you write the text u posted tonight?
	11:21pm G: OMG, Droll is gonna drag me back to alt.music.yes circa 95. My answer in those debates was: they're two different stylists that are great at what they do. Bruford does so many things that White doesn't, but White fits the harder or more straightforward rock numbers in the Yes repertoire. And now I step back to await the customary outraged contradiction that comes no matter which of them someone backs or what reasons are given :)
	11:21pm Droll: RRN, You just compared Neil Peart to Mariah Carey!
	11:21pm steve: kevin g. - if you haven't heard it, they recently did a cover of Shari Vari which is worth checking out. not sure if its on the album.
	11:22pm dan in falls church VA: Wow, I can't wait to hear that forthcoming neal peart x mariah carey LP!!!
	11:22pm fleep: Usenet flashbacks. The trolls, man, the trolls ....
	11:22pm G: @Holly: How does one girl stand in a line? :p That's like the sound of one hand clapping (or, add a bathroom joke if you're so minded)
	11:22pm Barkevious Shabazz: Chester Cheetah insists that Neil Pearl is the bestest. But he head all orange.
	11:22pm G: Droll sez themz fightin wordz fright there, yo.
	11:23pm G: right there, even. but i kinda like fright there too
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...she could match every beat & note he does on all those little tuned drums...
	11:24pm Droll: More stunned than anything. I expected to respond to "Geddy's voice is higher than Mariah's".
	11:24pm steve: G id like the answer to that first joke, if one exists
	11:25pm G: Mariah cant scream like that unless you stomp on her instep
	11:26pm Droll: G, Mariah couldn't even pronounce Rocinante, much less give a convincing final flight.
	11:26pm G: @steve: I just cant go there or I am going to lose what minimal sliver of reputation I may have left
	11:28pm steve: haha, ok.
	11:30pm Holly in NC: I actually miss Usenet. Every once in a while I sign up for a free week of access and poke around a bit. The thought of a Neil/Mariah collab is going to give me nightmares! Dang!
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jackson Pollock: "Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement."
	11:32pm steve: like Mystery Date
	11:32pm BadGuyZero: Or they could be three dimensional beings.
	11:33pm Droll: RRN63, You need to meet Steve, his disinterest in jazz is matched only by his disinterest in musicianship.
	11:33pm john: Thankfully, I had to look up the Rocinante reference, as the only one I knew (as, I presume, of course did Neil Peart) was Don Quixote's clumsy old horse. Which led me dangerously close to the brink of my second rear-half-of-the-horse joke of the day.
	11:35pm steve: i do like that Pollock quote. yes i do.
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - I think steve & I were chatting about that during - Lamin's Program? I advised to think of Jazz as Blues for people who play too well...Ya gotta Swing & Improvise in Jazz too, though, as well as have mad Technique. In other words: Something to say. In other words: Artistic Sensibilities.
	11:37pm Danne D: HONK!
	11:38pm G: roll them dice danne
	11:38pm Danne D: wonder if the social media air horn will be put for adoption/naming rights next marathon :)
	11:39pm G: which now has me thinking of the bellhop bell upcoming after midnight
	11:39pm Danne D: No dice roll feature on the FMU board :(
	11:39pm G: as everywhereguy i'd get a 6, supposedly :p
	11:40pm Danne D: Of course you would, G
	11:40pm G: maybe OMD sounds up to date, as in OMG or they are copying KFC :p
	11:40pm Danne D: Upcoming Supergroup: NKOMD
	11:41pm KP: Maneuvering well, still.
	11:42pm john: For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Dazzle Ships was billed just to OMD in '83. New record is pretty uniformly wonderful; delighted to hear you playing it!
	11:43pm G: Evan all synthy this show. Watch out for that prog gravity, getting sucked into that black hole is tough :p
	11:43pm efd: @john That's funny, I didn't realize that! Or remember it. One or the other.
	11:46pm Droll: RRN, "Play too well"? Pay too well for what? Is that why Mariah's career dried up? Sang too well?
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...weeks ago I remarked here it sounded like someone had put L in the Mods' punchbowl for a bit ...hardly seems worth noting now! (Not that I've known this Program a really long time.) ...Starry Favoriting...
	11:49pm Holly in NC: Need to check out that new Human Eye lp
	11:49pm Droll: I cannot overstate how perplexing it is when amateurism is conflated with sincerity. You do realize even those punk guys in the 70's got good because they played every night for years. PIL is what happened when punk learned to play.
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Droll: Put it this way: Billie Holiday described herself as having only seven notes in her range - but she's my favorite Singer. Mariah has possibly a record-breaking range of notes, but if she had never existed I wouldn't have noticed.
	11:51pm G: FOODFIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - well yeah - for that matter, the business about the Sex Pistols 'not being able to play' is - erm - bollocks. They were a mighty & muscular RockBand. W/ a brilliant lyricist&frontman what's more. - That's one thing I like about that Pollock quote: It doesn't negate Technique, but it does assert it's only a Means to an End.
	11:54pm KP: Holly, I'm with you on Human Eye.
	11:54pm Danne D: Emersonesque a little :)
	11:58pm Droll: Easy to say for a guy who splatters paint. Next you'll want me to believe pressing the spacebar on a laptop is a form of self-expression. . o O ( I love this food fight, can't ever get enough! )
	11:58pm Holly in NC: Evan, thank you for a GREAT show.
	11:58pm Danne D: Thanks for a great show EFD :) Time to pack up. Have a good night all :)
	11:58pm john: You people do realize that Pollock quote is total bullsh*t, particularly when taken out of context, don't you? Hopeless angry alcoholics say the darnedest things.
	11:58pm Tome: Love the Tv Ghost & YES the Wax Dolls & everything before and after great again EFD!!!
	11:58pm john: And yes, great show tonight!
	11:59pm fleep: Thanks, EFD.
	11:59pm G: I always consider that type of thing material for an update of _Anti-Intellectualism in American Life_ -- see, I can foodfight in my own way :)
	12:00am G: great live sets, great new bin raid :)
	12:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it doesn't make any difference if the Technique is splattering paint, pressing a spacebar, or plunking a cheap productionline guitar. - What makes it Art is if something relevant is being said.
	12:01am Tome: WaX Idols correction :) 1

May 8, 2013: WAX IDOLS and TV GHOST live sets!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Oakland's Wax Idols have an intense post-punk sound that might remind you of Joy Division or Siouxsie & the Banshees -- no surprise, since both bands are longtime favorites of the band's primary singer and songwriter, Hether Fortune. Their outstanding debut single and LP both landed on EFD's Best Of 2011 list and they've just released their second full-length, Discipline & Desire (Slumberland) which somehow improves on their debut. Fortune says that her strongest songwriting influences in recent years are Daniel Ash and Wire, but Wax Idols have their own sound that defies genres, among other things.

You'll also hear a live set from Wax Idols' tourmates, TV Ghost. These Indiana art-punkers have been putting out one killer record after another, with each one seemingly scarier (in a good way) than the one before it. TV Ghost sit somewhere on the spectrum between Goblin and Lightning Bolt, and the Dario Argentos of the future would do well to hire TV Ghost for their next soundtrack. They have a new full-length coming out soon on In The Red that will include the songs they played on the show.

Listener comments!
	9:03pm G: Beyond his smooth taste, Lamin excels at getting the Evan, Funk, and Davies in the correct order :)
	9:12pm G: people are on pins and needles awaiting the live sets...
	9:12pm steve: heyo
	9:13pm steve: i just read the description of TV Ghost (i've never heard them) and i think you're right G.
	9:13pm efd: Hey G, hey steve! Looks like a quiet night so far on ye olde comments board.
	9:15pm kevin g: Looking forward to hearing the live sets. Saw the show at Cake Shop on Friday and thought they were both great.
	9:16pm chinchilla: definitely looking forward to the live sets!
	9:18pm BadGuyZero: Hola!
	9:18pm Holly in NC: Hello Evan & funky friends! I am SO excited about TV Ghosts & Wax Idols!!!!!!!!!! Per usual, not home 'til 10:30ish, so thank goodness for archives. Thank you thank you thank you.
	9:18pm kevin g: The band Laurels, who also played at the Cake Shop show, were great, too. Never heard of them before.
	9:19pm efd: Laurels are going to be live on Julie's show later tonight!
	9:19pm BadGuyZero: Laurels live set on Julie's show in a few hours!
	9:19pm G: Did someone this afternoon forget to close the boldface html that starts before "Swans" on the right side of the current homepage and then never ends? Just a thought. Takes me back to my old blogging days. :-) I especially like how different the blue show links look under "Playing Today"
	9:20pm BadGuyZero: EFD posted while I was reviewing my post. hee!
	9:20pm kevin g: Oh nuts!
	9:21pm steve: G: someone put a <b/> where they should've </b>-ed.
	9:23pm BadGuyZero: I checked out this horseface uk stuff after hearing the track you played last week. I saw Screaming Blue Messiahs open for Echo & The Bunnymen in 87/88.
	9:24pm G: that's what I was saying, Steve -- I pulled that one on livejournal a couple times around 2004, till I noticed how weird it looked after you put then entry up. After that I always doublechecked before calling it done :)
	9:24pm efd: I've alerted the authorities about the html error - thanks for mentioning it!
	9:25pm fleep: Whew!
	9:26pm G: If you forget to close the italics tag after you open it for a book title, the whole rest of the entry is italicized, until and unless you fix it O.o
	9:27pm steve: ah, memories. thanks for making me open Developer Tools btw G, im always looking for something to troubleshoot.
	9:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I been listenin'!
	9:31pm chinchilla: I noticed the boldface makeover mistake too, I wonder if any other webpage, even with an active audience, would've gotten a dozen emails or private messages, funny that on FMU we can just have EFD shoot out an email, whilst in the middle of doing a radio show... sometimes the terrestrial/internet mashup of the FMU community kinda blows my mind
	9:34pm Kathy: water remembers everything it has ever encountered. We are mostly water.
	9:35pm chinchilla: it's like... real time and localized and physical, but also totally removed from me and might as well be be 5,000 miles away on the internet instead of 5 states over on the "radio"... sometimes I feel the need to call in to one of the talk shows on a land line to get that nostalgic small-world feeling
	9:38pm chinchilla: ...stoned again...
	9:38pm fleep: @Kathy are you familiar with the work of Masuru Emoto? The water crystals?
	9:39pm Kathy: YES!! Water the Great Mystery movie, it is amazing
	9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: right chinchilla - & then, on other hand, I wonder why there aren't more people on the Boards here from all over the U.S. even - but careful what you wish for!...
	9:44pm Chop Scott: Great mix Ernie I.!!
	9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yo La Tengo were on KCRW today : www.kcrw.com... & since I've finally switched from Explorer 6 to this Mac here - I could watch as well as listen. The DJ there asked them about their relation to FMU.
	9:46pm efd: @Scott, you are correct!
	9:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - sounds great! - & w/ their volume & range of sounds, I suspect that might be particularly impressive?...
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: Live set sounds excellent. Going to be away from comments somewhat this evening but I would like to remark that the Anodyne track played earlier was a gem. Never heard them before.
	9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& w/ the Mac, I can Favorite, @ last!...#37 here, ferinstance ...yet another flavor in the diversity of Live treats brought to us by FMU - !!
	9:52pm fleep: @chinchilla I find that the comments board collapses all distance. FMU shows without a comments board are 'radio' and remote. This is an interactive medium, it's radio+
	9:53pm chinchilla: @RRabbit, indeed. And it's all lovely nonetheless
	9:54pm Julie: this is so good
	9:54pm eyenoise: TV GHOST great stuff! Please say this will be on the FMA.
	9:55pm efd: This will be on the FMA!
	9:55pm DPCD: Thank you, EFD. Outstanding show!
	9:55pm chinchilla: @fleep, for sure. I have but one of many possible experiences/view points of the fmu experience as a not too far removed (MPLS, grew up in Maryland) but certainly internet-based listener.. I guess I really tend to try to hold on to the analog concept even so. It certainly is like radio+
	9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...w/ Social Media & mobiles of all sorts - 'Double Screening' w/ broadcasts (having one Media open whilst Interacting on another screen) is actually pretty common now - but perhaps more w/ TV still than 'Radio'?
	9:57pm Andria: I wish this band would come and play Ottawa
	9:57pm Holly in NC: I love TV Ghost, so happy archived & FMA! The one song I've been able to catch sounds fantastic.
	9:57pm chinchilla: This live set sounds terrific.
	9:58pm unnameable boox: got the show playing in the store, really enjoying the tv ghost set and bummed I missed them earlier this week.
	9:59pm jeff-m: yes, very nice
	10:01pm efd: for those of you keeping track of the song titles, ignore them. To long to explain, but I will be revising them shortly.
	10:03pm fleep: Great set!
	10:03pm G: Sounding a little Sonic Youthy here :)
	10:03pm BadGuyZero: What a set!
	10:04pm Julie: saturday-cool band day
	10:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..I'm still so spun by being able to Stream FMU in the first place - along w/ great Stations & Streams all over the World - to even begin to come to terms w/ the Archives! - & then there's Podcasts, the Cloud... - but the Friendship Society here supersedes my cynicism: I am honored to amongst y'all folx for the information & yucks & camaraderie I get on the Boards... - Oh! Songtitles: No biggie, but if I Favorite from the Live set, will it end up the right ones - ?
	10:07pm Danne D: Hi funk fans :) Hi EFD :)
	10:07pm Alex B.: Took me long enough to notice you can post from the Android app.
	10:10pm Loretta: Hi evan & all of the people enjoying the show tonight!
	10:10pm Julie: NUMAN!!
	10:11pm common: thanks for the tubeway!!!!!!!!
	10:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I always thot 'Are Friends Electric' was better than 'Cars' - so glad to hear yet another TubeWayTune...
	10:13pm Droll: How did I miss Tubeway Army all these years? It's like Gary Neumann with guitars. Please tell me they merge Fastway's checkerboard fashion with army fashion for a total group look & sound.
	10:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: The band that backed the miserable Lydia lunch on 1313 was great. Much better than that lump deserved.
	10:22pm Julie: Yes yes Yes! Flowers of Romance
	10:24pm fearson: this song is kewl, evan!
	10:25pm fearson: this dry bonnet one is kewl too but i was referring to the public image one
	10:30pm Julie: track 8 is the title of the 2nd song on the record
	10:31pm efd: that's what I said right?
	10:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...dats whut I heard...
	10:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or one Side or the other : ) ...
	10:34pm Julie: Oh, I thought you said it was untitled
	10:35pm kevin g: I just switched from the radio to the flash player and I can barely hear anything. Is that just me?
	10:36pm efd: No, that was the Stacian track.
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I dunno!...3rd base... - They got this sound down... - I'm fine w/ iTunes...
	10:37pm Julie: serves me right for multitasking!
	10:37pm efd: Kevin, dumb question but is the level all the way up on the flash player and your computer?
	10:37pm Tome: nice set both of them!! .. I use VLC but I'm not on windoes either,.,,.,
	10:38pm efd: thanks Tome!
	10:38pm efd: @Julie :)
	10:39pm fleep: The main page bolding error is now corrected. You may leave the shelters and return to your homes.
	10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah! I didn't get to see it...
	10:40pm Alex B.: Volume is fine here, streaming to wdlxtv media appliance.
	10:41pm kevin g: The volume's up as high as it goes. I tried to listen to something on youtube and it was a little louder, but not by much. I think I'll try switching back to radio as it may be an energy saving setting I put on my computer and forgot about.
	10:46pm Holly in NC: Hi everyone for real! BTW, it's fun to follow Hether on twitter - currently she is, erm, NOT happy about Savages comparisons ;-)
	10:46pm BadGuyZero: I switched to the Flash player on my laptop and it was just a tad bit lower in volume.
	10:46pm Julie: OH NO
	10:47pm BadGuyZero: Did someone hit the weather button in the booth?
	10:47pm Andrew Waterloo: I heard that too
	10:48pm Julie: EBS test
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or the AntiSocial Media AirHorn...
	10:49pm bill: but now it sounds beautiful
	10:49pm Holly in NC: Funny, thought that was Durham warning - it's quite stormy here
	10:49pm Tome: OiY must be a hamster in the server again ...
	10:50pm bill: disregard, check
	10:50pm fleep: [puts helmet and flashlight away]
	10:50pm BadGuyZero: It was just the angry, distorted tone that's usually followed by the voice telling us to immediately seek shelter.
	10:50pm Julie: Clay Pigeon's knee strikes again
	10:50pm efd: yeah, just pretend that didn't happen.
	10:51pm BadGuyZero: I hope the warning tone makes it to the FMA version!
	10:51pm G: That was the E"BS" warning :)
	10:53pm Tome: it did but it was GREAT !!!!
	10:54pm G: damn you EBS!
	10:56pm BadGuyZero: Did anyone else just hear a cuckoo?
	10:56pm Danne D: Coo Coo!
	10:57pm steve: sold! on both bands. good stuff.
	10:57pm G: That was left over from the Trapp Family Singers live set, they left in a hurry...
	11:01pm fearson: ohhhh what time on sunday??
	11:01pm BadGuyZero: The first run of the "Discipline & Desire" LP is on clear and black vinyl. It's a nice lookin' reckid!
	11:03pm Holly in NC: Sigh. I bet no Neil Peart ;-) 's OK, yay Max Roach.
	11:04pm G: Let me know when the intro is over someone :)
	11:07pm Droll: Holly, I don't expect to hear Tony Thompson (MY favorite drummer) or full-band Zeppelin, either. But it's cool to assume we already know those songs, they don't get played on FMU for that reason in the first place. I'm really excited about the drum show! Remember: It's an exhibition, not a competition! . o O ( I said it before, but the new ticket giveaway bumper is utterly surrealistic. )
	11:09pm Holly in NC: @Droll - Wasn't complaining. At all. Joking, in fact.
	11:11pm Barkevious Shabazz: Hearing Parquet Courts used as bumper music on CNBC's Squawk Box program yesterday, with the 60 year old host singing along, was interesting.
	11:13pm Droll: Holly, Joke all you like, but Neil may have inspired more than one of the featured drummers to take up drums. FWIW, Rush hating is passé, they already made into the RRHoF and sold a gazillion records.
	11:16pm G: I don't quite remember the Larks Tongue cover that way :)
	11:17pm Droll: G, Bill Bruford or Alan White?
	11:17pm Holly in NC: @Droll - you know (or maybe you don't) that I'm a huge Rush fan (that 1 girl in line for the bathroom at the concert !) ;-) EFD, I believe, does not share the love.
	11:17pm Danne D: Of course they won't have Peart - Carl Palmer all the way baby!! :)
	11:17pm Holly in NC: Oh, nice cover!
	11:17pm kevin g: OH man Adult! I've been thinking of them recently for whatever reason. Didn't know they had a new record! will have to pick that up. Would love to see them again, their show with Erase Errata a few years ago is still one of my all time faves!
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neil Peart's a great drummer technically - like Mariah Carey is a great singer technically...
	11:20pm dan in falls church VA: ah sh*t I missed the TV Ghost set!
	11:20pm Junichi: You got good taste in relief pitchers AND tunes brau.
	11:20pm dan in falls church VA: Hey daniel, did you write the text u posted tonight?
	11:21pm G: OMG, Droll is gonna drag me back to alt.music.yes circa 95. My answer in those debates was: they're two different stylists that are great at what they do. Bruford does so many things that White doesn't, but White fits the harder or more straightforward rock numbers in the Yes repertoire. And now I step back to await the customary outraged contradiction that comes no matter which of them someone backs or what reasons are given :)
	11:21pm Droll: RRN, You just compared Neil Peart to Mariah Carey!
	11:21pm steve: kevin g. - if you haven't heard it, they recently did a cover of Shari Vari which is worth checking out. not sure if its on the album.
	11:22pm dan in falls church VA: Wow, I can't wait to hear that forthcoming neal peart x mariah carey LP!!!
	11:22pm fleep: Usenet flashbacks. The trolls, man, the trolls ....
	11:22pm G: @Holly: How does one girl stand in a line? :p That's like the sound of one hand clapping (or, add a bathroom joke if you're so minded)
	11:22pm Barkevious Shabazz: Chester Cheetah insists that Neil Pearl is the bestest. But he head all orange.
	11:22pm G: Droll sez themz fightin wordz fright there, yo.
	11:23pm G: right there, even. but i kinda like fright there too
	11:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...she could match every beat & note he does on all those little tuned drums...
	11:24pm Droll: More stunned than anything. I expected to respond to "Geddy's voice is higher than Mariah's".
	11:24pm steve: G id like the answer to that first joke, if one exists
	11:25pm G: Mariah cant scream like that unless you stomp on her instep
	11:26pm Droll: G, Mariah couldn't even pronounce Rocinante, much less give a convincing final flight.
	11:26pm G: @steve: I just cant go there or I am going to lose what minimal sliver of reputation I may have left
	11:28pm steve: haha, ok.
	11:30pm Holly in NC: I actually miss Usenet. Every once in a while I sign up for a free week of access and poke around a bit. The thought of a Neil/Mariah collab is going to give me nightmares! Dang!
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jackson Pollock: "Technique is just a means of arriving at a statement."
	11:32pm steve: like Mystery Date
	11:32pm BadGuyZero: Or they could be three dimensional beings.
	11:33pm Droll: RRN63, You need to meet Steve, his disinterest in jazz is matched only by his disinterest in musicianship.
	11:33pm john: Thankfully, I had to look up the Rocinante reference, as the only one I knew (as, I presume, of course did Neil Peart) was Don Quixote's clumsy old horse. Which led me dangerously close to the brink of my second rear-half-of-the-horse joke of the day.
	11:35pm steve: i do like that Pollock quote. yes i do.
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - I think steve & I were chatting about that during - Lamin's Program? I advised to think of Jazz as Blues for people who play too well...Ya gotta Swing & Improvise in Jazz too, though, as well as have mad Technique. In other words: Something to say. In other words: Artistic Sensibilities.
	11:37pm Danne D: HONK!
	11:38pm G: roll them dice danne
	11:38pm Danne D: wonder if the social media air horn will be put for adoption/naming rights next marathon :)
	11:39pm G: which now has me thinking of the bellhop bell upcoming after midnight
	11:39pm Danne D: No dice roll feature on the FMU board :(
	11:39pm G: as everywhereguy i'd get a 6, supposedly :p
	11:40pm Danne D: Of course you would, G
	11:40pm G: maybe OMD sounds up to date, as in OMG or they are copying KFC :p
	11:40pm Danne D: Upcoming Supergroup: NKOMD
	11:41pm KP: Maneuvering well, still.
	11:42pm john: For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Dazzle Ships was billed just to OMD in '83. New record is pretty uniformly wonderful; delighted to hear you playing it!
	11:43pm G: Evan all synthy this show. Watch out for that prog gravity, getting sucked into that black hole is tough :p
	11:43pm efd: @john That's funny, I didn't realize that! Or remember it. One or the other.
	11:46pm Droll: RRN, "Play too well"? Pay too well for what? Is that why Mariah's career dried up? Sang too well?
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...weeks ago I remarked here it sounded like someone had put L in the Mods' punchbowl for a bit ...hardly seems worth noting now! (Not that I've known this Program a really long time.) ...Starry Favoriting...
	11:49pm Holly in NC: Need to check out that new Human Eye lp
	11:49pm Droll: I cannot overstate how perplexing it is when amateurism is conflated with sincerity. You do realize even those punk guys in the 70's got good because they played every night for years. PIL is what happened when punk learned to play.
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Droll: Put it this way: Billie Holiday described herself as having only seven notes in her range - but she's my favorite Singer. Mariah has possibly a record-breaking range of notes, but if she had never existed I wouldn't have noticed.
	11:51pm G: FOODFIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - well yeah - for that matter, the business about the Sex Pistols 'not being able to play' is - erm - bollocks. They were a mighty & muscular RockBand. W/ a brilliant lyricist&frontman what's more. - That's one thing I like about that Pollock quote: It doesn't negate Technique, but it does assert it's only a Means to an End.
	11:54pm KP: Holly, I'm with you on Human Eye.
	11:54pm Danne D: Emersonesque a little :)
	11:58pm Droll: Easy to say for a guy who splatters paint. Next you'll want me to believe pressing the spacebar on a laptop is a form of self-expression. . o O ( I love this food fight, can't ever get enough! )
	11:58pm Holly in NC: Evan, thank you for a GREAT show.
	11:58pm Danne D: Thanks for a great show EFD :) Time to pack up. Have a good night all :)
	11:58pm john: You people do realize that Pollock quote is total bullsh*t, particularly when taken out of context, don't you? Hopeless angry alcoholics say the darnedest things.
	11:58pm Tome: Love the Tv Ghost & YES the Wax Dolls & everything before and after great again EFD!!!
	11:58pm john: And yes, great show tonight!
	11:59pm fleep: Thanks, EFD.
	11:59pm G: I always consider that type of thing material for an update of _Anti-Intellectualism in American Life_ -- see, I can foodfight in my own way :)
	12:00am G: great live sets, great new bin raid :)
	12:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it doesn't make any difference if the Technique is splattering paint, pressing a spacebar, or plunking a cheap productionline guitar. - What makes it Art is if something relevant is being said.
	12:01am Tome: WaX Idols correction :) 1
