	9:26pm Arthur @ Purchase College: Me and my friends dig the show! Keep the good tunes coming!
	9:29pm slowbear: evan can we please for the love of god talk about this farting, singing comet that european scientists landed on today
	9:29pm slowbear: Putting aside for a moment the immense historical significance of European scientists actually being able to land on it
	9:30pm slowbear: it farts black organic gas and sings magnets
	9:31pm Wee-san: I would like to hear about the comet as well (after Sloan, I guess)
	9:34pm slowbear: Yeah wait man nevermind sloan is just fine, fuck comets those are stupid
	9:35pm fleep: Just in time for Sloan. I've listened to the comet and agree with most other listeners that it's doing Pink Floyd.

	9:37pm Holly in NC: Fleep!
	9:38pm Holly in NC: three sisters = lovely
	9:39pm Andrew Fetter: This set is already pretty spectacular so far.
	9:41pm coelacanth: i quite like this. ..Thoroughly beatle-esque (sp?) without sounding un-natural.
	9:43pm efd: only one song left :( but it's a long one! :)
	9:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: I suspect this Jay Ferguson is not "Thunder Island", right?
	9:45pm Wee-san: Ha ha ha!!
	9:46pm efd: glad you appreciated that bit, Wee-san!
	9:46pm efd: I was on the fence about whether to keep it in
	9:47pm Wee-san: Oh, def. The session highlight for me, so far.
	9:47pm Edgip: Sloan sounds great!
	9:47pm Wee-san: They are very good, though.
	9:50pm Edgip: a little ian hunter influence.
	9:50pm Andrew Fetter: Hats off as always to the WFMU engineers. They always make the live sets sound great. Great job Mario!
	9:50pm Wee-san: Oh, wow, this is 17:49 on the CD!
	9:51pm efd: This song is such an epic.
	9:51pm efd: Yeah, If I'd ever been in a band that had to record a song this long I'd be shitting bricks every time worrying that I'd mess something up with like three minutes left!
	9:53pm Pidge: You would nail it EFD, like Bryce and Irwin and all the great FMU skinsmen.
	9:54pm efd: I appreciate the vote of confidence, Pidge!
	9:54pm efd: @Ken From Hyde Park, you're correct - different Jay F.
	9:58pm Wee-san: Good time for a bathroom break.
	9:58pm efd: 90 seconds left!
	9:59pm fleep: Beatlesque ending to a fine set.
	10:01pm Wee-san: Yes, really Beatles-y!
	10:01pm coelacanth: that was extraordinary.
	10:04pm Wee-san: They're Canadian??? Righteous politics, though.
	10:05pm efd: yeah, formed in Halifax originally and now based in Toronto.
	10:06pm Fuzzy: SRV too!
	10:07pm Holly in NC: Rush on efd! ;-)
	10:11pm Andrew Fetter: The only difference being if a Sloan album arrived in my iTunes library by surprise, I wouldn't be annoyed by that.
	10:12pm Wee-san: Good point, Andrew!
	10:12pm JDM: Minutemen did it on double nickels
	10:12pm northguineahills: Ok, I was braindead (actually listening to Gary on GTDS), but SLOAN!
	10:15pm Carmichael: Hello Evan and friends. These Canadian fellows seem very nice.
	10:15pm Andrew Fetter: Awesome set!
	10:17pm Wee-san: Nice set, evan. Thank you!
	10:17pm efd: My pleasure!
	10:17pm Carmichael: Ha! Edward Bear ... Now maybe some Chilliwack?
	10:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for putting that together...very nice.
	10:19pm Pidge: that was good ... i was thinking prism or lime. franz joli. lighthouse!
	10:20pm efd: The list is nearly endless!
	10:20pm Pidge: anne murray was all over that set
	10:21pm northguineahills: omg! One of my favorite songs!
	10:23pm efd: mine too, ngh!
	10:23pm Carmichael: Grass Rootsy.
	10:23pm Pidge: Al Hirty!
	10:25pm JakeGould: Comet, schmomet. I like the comet like everyone else. But I like this show as well. Stop splitting your love, slowbear. Unless you are a genuinely mentally challenged slowbear. Then my apologies for distracting you from staying “on task.”
	10:26pm Holly in NC: Imagine Geddy guest synthing on Beverly Terrace... ;-)
	10:27pm Wee-san: Yes, comet time! Thank you, JakeGould.
	10:28pm Wee-san: Is the comet broadcasting anything? Like, photos?
	10:28pm JakeGould: Yes, photos. www.flickr.com...
	10:29pm Wee-san: Okay, I can google that. abcnews.go.com...
	10:29pm Wee-san: Thanks, JakeGould!
	10:31pm northguineahills: w0000! Thanks efd!
	10:32pm northguineahills: My fave is the party disc from One Chord To Another where they transition from Canned Heat "On the Road Again" to Stereolab's "Transona 5"
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: Oh, the huge manatees.
	10:40pm slowbear: i have the singing comet thing playing during this and it's awesome https://soundcloud.com/esaops/a-singing-comet
	10:41pm slowbear: sorry for the link, i know that's annoying looking. but this is history, folks.
	10:42pm Holly in NC: @slowbear - I'm all over the singing comet - thank you!
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...got somethin' goin' Wed. eves now - but this is a great set to walk in on...
	10:44pm Holly in NC: That would be manateees, actually (pedantic me emerging, thankfully briefly)
	10:45pm Andrew Fetter: The Ex Hex record is just so fantastic.
	10:45pm JakeGould: I learned how to format MSDOS floppies in Linux in Virtual Box while on Mac OS X. Pretty historic day for me, tough guy.
	10:46pm Ike: Meow!
	10:47pm slowbear: MSDOS was my shit man.
	10:47pm Carmichael: Walked in on the whole comet discussion, befuddled. Waiting for more Canadian music.
	10:47pm efd: whoops, thanks Holly! Like Freeez!
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...singing comet goes pretty well w/ ExHex - practically in key & on beat...
	10:48pm Wee-san: Thanks for that Singing Comet link, slowbear!
	10:53pm Holly in NC: People had to pry my MSDOS discs out of my clenched hands. I HATED Windows, thought it would only appeal to the intellectually challenged. Heh. Ausmuteants super yay!
	10:54pm Fuzzy: # fdformat /dev/fd0
	10:55pm Fuzzy: rm -rf *
	10:56pm JakeGould: Fuzzy, yeah. That is for an actual floppy controller on an actual physical machine. Ever do the similar on a USB floppy connected to a Mac via VirtualBox and in Ubuntu in that virtual machine? Not so easy.
	10:57pm JakeGould: Also, rm -rf /fuzzy/attitude
	10:57pm JakeGould: cat /dev/zero > /fuzzy/mouth/hole
	10:58pm Fuzzy: Sorry, BOFH!
	10:58pm Stevel: Oooooooh. Gang of Four.
	10:58pm Andrew Fetter: Well, I'm off to work. Really great show tonight EFD. Bye everyone!
	11:00pm efd: Thanks for listening Andrew!
	11:00pm Holly in NC: Dancing while twirling VERY HOT baked potatoes on VERY HOT metal skewers...this could end poorly... damn you, Gang of Four!
	11:01pm JakeGould: What could possibly go wrong!
	11:03pm efd: I guess this goes out to the comet...?
	11:08pm slowbear: Aw I'm in LA now. Just moved here. I miss New York news trumping everything else.
	11:08pm slowbear: WFMU posted that sound first on facebook
	11:09pm JakeGould: The circle of life!
	11:09pm Uncle Michael: "I was right about the comet!"
	11:10pm slowbear: all cred goes to thou guys
	11:11pm acid casualty: Ex hex are going to be performing on Seth Meyers tonight.
	11:13pm slowbear: nov 14's my birthdaäy
	11:14pm Holly in NC: Happy almost birthday, @slowbear!
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Joyeux Solar Return slowbear ♏Scorpio brutha !
	11:17pm northguineahills: apropos RIP Big Bank Hank
	11:18pm Aharon: A travesty that Les Sans Culottes are not playing at LPR!
	11:19pm efd: I KNOW!!!!
	11:20pm Ike: Ha ha, bragging that he has a color TV! What a classic. To us in 2014 it kind of sounds more like disco than "hip-hop." But this is the real thing to my mind.
	11:21pm Ignore Function: I'd like to thank Big Bank Hank
	11:24pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Sylvia Robinson.
	11:25pm efd: this is my favorite part.
	11:25pm nixxon: just popped in to say how happy I am to hear rapper's delight. I think every second of this has been sampled at some point.
	11:26pm efd: Let's thank Grandmaster Caz too, while we're thanking people - he actually wrote most of the Big Bank Hank's words on this song, though he wasn't credited.
	11:26pm northguineahills: I still only have a giant cube TV from around 2000, hooked up to Hulu+ and Netflix and Google TV. It makes viewing hi-def movies curious. Amen UM!
	11:26pm Holly in NC: Beautiful. Priceless.
	11:28pm Gaylord Fields: This is making me both very sad and very happy. Thankfully, a little more of the latter.
	11:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Quite the feel-good song, isn't it?
	11:29pm efd: Fun fact: the long version of "Rapper's Delight" and the live version of Sloan's "Forty-Eight Portraits" are pretty close to the same length.
	11:29pm Holly in NC: Sylvia & her husband were pretty shitty people, in truth.
	11:30pm Kathy: this IS the long version !! wowee!!
	11:31pm Gaylord Fields: @Holly in NC: Is that why Mickey hi-tailed it to France?
	11:31pm JakeGould: FWIW, what Holly says is true… But honestly so many crappy people in the entertainment world on the business side… So hey, can’t hate all art!
	11:31pm JakeGould: And thank you Nile Rodgers & Chic! www.youtube.com...
	11:32pm efd: I found it more than a little ironic that the Sugar Hill Story anthology is on Roulette, of all labels!
	11:32pm Uncle Michael: They can be shitty and still deserving of gratitude for the art they abetted.
	11:34pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: I guess it didn't want to compete with all those bluegrass records.
	11:34pm JakeGould: EFD, the irony of the music industry is no matter how independent you are at one point, the chances of your legacy being gobbled up by those you wanted to avoid in the long run are pretty high.
	11:35pm efd: good point Gaylord! & JakeGould!
	11:36pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: And with a mention of Roulette, we get back to why Mickey Baker lammed it to France!
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: I haven't heard this since it was new.
	11:37pm JakeGould: I mean, 20th Century Fox didn’t want some crazy hippie’s space drama called “The Star Wars” and Marvel was a rebel comic imprint… Now both owned by… Disney.
	11:38pm efd: the original of this is one of my favorites of its era!
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JohnLennon: ...'ended up shaking hands w/ all those people you hated when you were 10'...
	11:40pm Uncle Michael: I have a Dot single that Ken Nordine inscribed for me on which he lays out the absorption of that label as a veritable matryoshka doll of corporate digestion.
	11:52pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for having Sloan on, Evan. I missed it but I'll catch up on the archive.
	11:54pm efd: You bet! I'm so glad I was able to have them!
	11:56pm 12539: Thanks, Mr Funk. Great show!
	11:56pm efd: Thanks for listening 12539 and alla resta youse! See you next week!
	11:56pm northguineahills: Man, kickass efd! Thanks again!
	11:57pm northguineahills: True UM, Sloan is one of my favorite 'rock' bands of the last quarter decade.
	11:59pm Santos L Halper: Finishing strong here; looking forward to the archive tomorrow. Thanks Evan!
	11:20am Mark in Toronto: Evan, just listened to the Sloan set and interview. Very funny interview, and so many Canadian shout-outs. Helix, Trooper, Rob Ford, Honest Ed's. Not to mention leading off with Canadian band Edward Bear!

Upcoming events:

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

November 12, 2014: SLOAN live set!

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

The Canadian rock band Sloan released their first record in 1992. 22 years later their lineup remains unchanged, and their albums remain brilliant. Their brand new album Commonwealth (Yep Roc) is their first since 2011 and is released as a double LP, with one side devoted to each of the four band members. Sloan is currently touring the northeast and mid-Atlantic states as well as Canada in support of this new album, and they're giving up a rare night off to come out and record a session at WFMU!

	10:45pm Andrew Fetter: The Ex Hex record is just so fantastic.
	10:45pm JakeGould: I learned how to format MSDOS floppies in Linux in Virtual Box while on Mac OS X. Pretty historic day for me, tough guy.
	10:46pm Ike: Meow!
	10:47pm slowbear: MSDOS was my shit man.
	10:47pm Carmichael: Walked in on the whole comet discussion, befuddled. Waiting for more Canadian music.
	10:47pm efd: whoops, thanks Holly! Like Freeez!
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...singing comet goes pretty well w/ ExHex - practically in key & on beat...
	10:48pm Wee-san: Thanks for that Singing Comet link, slowbear!
	10:53pm Holly in NC: People had to pry my MSDOS discs out of my clenched hands. I HATED Windows, thought it would only appeal to the intellectually challenged. Heh. Ausmuteants super yay!
	10:54pm Fuzzy: # fdformat /dev/fd0
	10:55pm Fuzzy: rm -rf *
	10:56pm JakeGould: Fuzzy, yeah. That is for an actual floppy controller on an actual physical machine. Ever do the similar on a USB floppy connected to a Mac via VirtualBox and in Ubuntu in that virtual machine? Not so easy.
	10:57pm JakeGould: Also, rm -rf /fuzzy/attitude
	10:57pm JakeGould: cat /dev/zero > /fuzzy/mouth/hole
	10:58pm Fuzzy: Sorry, BOFH!
	10:58pm Stevel: Oooooooh. Gang of Four.
	10:58pm Andrew Fetter: Well, I'm off to work. Really great show tonight EFD. Bye everyone!
	11:00pm efd: Thanks for listening Andrew!
	11:00pm Holly in NC: Dancing while twirling VERY HOT baked potatoes on VERY HOT metal skewers...this could end poorly... damn you, Gang of Four!
	11:01pm JakeGould: What could possibly go wrong!
	11:03pm efd: I guess this goes out to the comet...?
	11:08pm slowbear: Aw I'm in LA now. Just moved here. I miss New York news trumping everything else.
	11:08pm slowbear: WFMU posted that sound first on facebook
	11:09pm JakeGould: The circle of life!
	11:09pm Uncle Michael: "I was right about the comet!"
	11:10pm slowbear: all cred goes to thou guys
	11:11pm acid casualty: Ex hex are going to be performing on Seth Meyers tonight.
	11:13pm slowbear: nov 14's my birthdaäy
	11:14pm Holly in NC: Happy almost birthday, @slowbear!
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Joyeux Solar Return slowbear ♏Scorpio brutha !
	11:17pm northguineahills: apropos RIP Big Bank Hank
	11:18pm Aharon: A travesty that Les Sans Culottes are not playing at LPR!
	11:19pm efd: I KNOW!!!!
	11:20pm Ike: Ha ha, bragging that he has a color TV! What a classic. To us in 2014 it kind of sounds more like disco than "hip-hop." But this is the real thing to my mind.
	11:21pm Ignore Function: I'd like to thank Big Bank Hank
	11:24pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Sylvia Robinson.
	11:25pm efd: this is my favorite part.
	11:25pm nixxon: just popped in to say how happy I am to hear rapper's delight. I think every second of this has been sampled at some point.
	11:26pm efd: Let's thank Grandmaster Caz too, while we're thanking people - he actually wrote most of the Big Bank Hank's words on this song, though he wasn't credited.
	11:26pm northguineahills: I still only have a giant cube TV from around 2000, hooked up to Hulu+ and Netflix and Google TV. It makes viewing hi-def movies curious. Amen UM!
	11:26pm Holly in NC: Beautiful. Priceless.
	11:28pm Gaylord Fields: This is making me both very sad and very happy. Thankfully, a little more of the latter.
	11:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Quite the feel-good song, isn't it?
	11:29pm efd: Fun fact: the long version of "Rapper's Delight" and the live version of Sloan's "Forty-Eight Portraits" are pretty close to the same length.
	11:29pm Holly in NC: Sylvia & her husband were pretty shitty people, in truth.
	11:30pm Kathy: this IS the long version !! wowee!!
	11:31pm Gaylord Fields: @Holly in NC: Is that why Mickey hi-tailed it to France?
	11:31pm JakeGould: FWIW, what Holly says is true… But honestly so many crappy people in the entertainment world on the business side… So hey, can’t hate all art!
	11:31pm JakeGould: And thank you Nile Rodgers & Chic! www.youtube.com...
	11:32pm efd: I found it more than a little ironic that the Sugar Hill Story anthology is on Roulette, of all labels!
	11:32pm Uncle Michael: They can be shitty and still deserving of gratitude for the art they abetted.
	11:34pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: I guess it didn't want to compete with all those bluegrass records.
	11:34pm JakeGould: EFD, the irony of the music industry is no matter how independent you are at one point, the chances of your legacy being gobbled up by those you wanted to avoid in the long run are pretty high.
	11:35pm efd: good point Gaylord! & JakeGould!
	11:36pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: And with a mention of Roulette, we get back to why Mickey Baker lammed it to France!
	11:37pm Uncle Michael: I haven't heard this since it was new.
	11:37pm JakeGould: I mean, 20th Century Fox didn’t want some crazy hippie’s space drama called “The Star Wars” and Marvel was a rebel comic imprint… Now both owned by… Disney.
	11:38pm efd: the original of this is one of my favorites of its era!
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JohnLennon: ...'ended up shaking hands w/ all those people you hated when you were 10'...
	11:40pm Uncle Michael: I have a Dot single that Ken Nordine inscribed for me on which he lays out the absorption of that label as a veritable matryoshka doll of corporate digestion.
	11:52pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for having Sloan on, Evan. I missed it but I'll catch up on the archive.
	11:54pm efd: You bet! I'm so glad I was able to have them!
	11:56pm 12539: Thanks, Mr Funk. Great show!
	11:56pm efd: Thanks for listening 12539 and alla resta youse! See you next week!
	11:56pm northguineahills: Man, kickass efd! Thanks again!
	11:57pm northguineahills: True UM, Sloan is one of my favorite 'rock' bands of the last quarter decade.
	11:59pm Santos L Halper: Finishing strong here; looking forward to the archive tomorrow. Thanks Evan!
	11:20am Mark in Toronto: Evan, just listened to the Sloan set and interview. Very funny interview, and so many Canadian shout-outs. Helix, Trooper, Rob Ford, Honest Ed's. Not to mention leading off with Canadian band Edward Bear!
