	9:30pm fleep: Greetings efd and Funksters.
	9:34pm tim from champaign: Hello EFD and FMU friends!
	9:35pm redkayak: Hey everyone!
	9:35pm herb.nyc: was it reviewed in JET LAG zine?
	9:36pm Holly in NC: Ah, @fleep, I so want to share your avatar. Is there such a thing as an WFMU comment board marriage, a marriage of pure convenience with no other obligations?
	9:36pm john: The former Chinga Chavin and Kinky Friedman are old friends and associates. Kinky's great Asshole From El Paso is a Chavin song.
	9:40pm Lowden: I love the #1's. Good guys.
	9:41pm Lowden: They were so great at Cake Shop in October with Paul Collins.
	9:42pm fleep: @Holly Once we registered with WFMU, we were automatically virtually married, to everyone else who registers. It's in the EULA.
	9:43pm efd: @Lowden, agreed! They played a great live set on my show when they were in town.
	9:44pm efd: @john, right, I saw that when I was looking him up! I think he did a whole album of material like that as Chinga Chavin.
	9:45pm Lowden: @EFD That live set on your show was wonderful!
	9:48pm Carmichael: EVAN!!
	9:49pm Greg from Bloomfield: If I'm listening to EFD live, I must be working late! Thanks for the tunes, man.
	9:50pm efd: sorry you're working late, Greg, but glad I can help pass the time!
	9:51pm efd: Carmichael!!
	9:51pm john: At least one album I know of, delightfully entitled Chinga Chavin's Country Porn. No idea if there were more, but that's the sort of thing that just sort of velcros itself to a corner of your mind and can't be shook.
	9:51pm Carmichael: Dude, seriously? I saw Chinga Chavin live 3 or 4 times in San Fran. Pearl Harbour was one of his background singers.
	9:53pm Holly in NC: New Outrageous Cherry? Yay! @fleep, apparently local laws prohibit me from cohabitating in your avatar. Ah well.
	9:54pm Jeff from Rahway: Fab tunes tonight EFD. I've heard a bit of them Useless Eaters on WFMU.
	9:55pm Jeff from Rahway: SLF are from Belfast.
	9:55pm Carmichael: SLF are from Ulster, I believe.
	9:55pm fleep: @Holly NC on the wrong side of history. Again.
	10:00pm efd: thanks for the SLF info. It's not like I didn't know that... once!
	10:01pm herb.nyc: Don Dixon- my 1st maxwells show!
	10:01pm Holly in NC: SLF for sure from Belfast Northern Ireland, but more importantly tonight, Jake Burns has recently had a "warty piglet" named after him .. and he (human Jake, not piglet Jake) quotes Robert Earl Keen: slf.com
	10:03pm Holly in NC: @efd - quite liked that Marti Jones, and def. not something I'd ever search out/find on my own - thank you!
	10:03pm efd: who, thanks for the updated piglet news Holly! @Carmichael I can't believe you saw Chinga Chavin live! Was he based in SF at the time?
	10:03pm Marc: My ex-boyfriend broke my heart ...
	10:06pm Uncle Michael: Groovy greetings.
	10:06pm Carmichael: Evan, yea he was an SF phenomenon. That was like 75 or so. Jane Dornacker and the Tubes were intermixed with his band. What can I say, CA mid 70s?!
	10:06pm Sem Chumbo: Lurking, and listening with great pleasure to your spins this evening:-)
	10:06pm Stevel: UM: Hail, fellow flatlander.
	10:07pm Uncle Michael: I can see for miles.
	10:10pm Mugsy: Always one of my favorites, good evening efd, hope you are well. Greetings to all up on the board.
	10:12pm Carmichael: I can see for Giles and Giles and Fripp.
	10:12pm Holly in NC: Ah. Crocodiles still my fave Echo & Bunnymen lp as is , but really nice to have this song added to cd reissue
	10:13pm efd: greetings UM, Mugsy, Sem Chumbo, fleep, herb, Jeff from Rahway and everyone else!
	10:18pm Sybil: Hi EFD, good evening all! I'm here in spirit if not always in comments... I think "jealous butcher" is my new favorite label name.
	10:20pm Mugsy: Hey Jeff from Rahway, you play music?
	10:20pm chris_in_space: Greets efd and everyone else. How good was that Eyelids tune?
	10:20pm Barkevious Shabazz: Anyone know where to get a t-shirt of the old Some Bizarre crossed baseball bats logo?
	10:20pm rager88: the other version of Books is TearDrop Explodes. Julian Cope co-wrote it, supposedly.
	10:21pm Holly in NC: @efd re Read It In Books - you are not insane, and are absolutely correct. It's floating in the internet ether, for sure.
	10:22pm Jeff from Rahway: Mugsy, I haven't picked up a musical instrument in 20 years. However, I play lots and lots and lots and lots of pre-recorded music at home, car, iPhone, work, etc.
	10:22pm chris_in_space: TIL that Eyelids is the core of the Boston Spaceships. Makes total sense to me that they rock.
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yes ! - a hold-over from the Crucial Three - which Cope & Ian McCullough were both in (w/ Pete Wylie, yes?)
	10:23pm Mugsy: Check
	10:23pm herb.nyc: The Special Pillow? zzz! (ha)
	10:24pm Holly in NC: Yay for discogs, and cheap: www.discogs.com...
	10:25pm herb.nyc: (TMBGiants w/MShelley last wk, great!)
	10:27pm jeff k: Yeah Teardrop Explodes version is the better of the 2.
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...love Bunnymen - but smiling smugly : ) ...
	10:28pm herb.nyc: Ex Hex is #11 in Pazz Jop
	10:28pm efd: Holly, THAT'S IT!! I swear I used to have that single, totally recognize the cover art.
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: The one time I saw Echo, this happened: twitter.com...
	10:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Lolita Nation reissue comin soon.
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This sounds very much like the Teardrops version: www.youtube.com...
	10:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: UM - I saw Billy Bragg open for the Bunnymen too (in Boston) - now you mention it !
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: Did he busk the queue there, too?
	10:35pm Holly in NC: @UM - Billy Bragg happened? @Barkevious - cannot wait for Lolita Nation reissue as my turntable is fried & I'm hoping for bonus tracks ;-)
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: That's Billy outside the Echo show in Chicago.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - not that I know of. Brilliant! (He just plain opened for them @ the Orpheum.)
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - 1984 ?
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: Chicago show was a triple bill. Billy/Fleshtones/Echo. Fleshtomes had a blow up on stage and stormed off and the promoters had to hustle Billy on early. Yes, August of '84.
	10:38pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly Indeedy. . Have the vinyl and cd and have not sold, dammit. .
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: We thought they just got that "guy from the sidewalk." We didn't know who he was or that he was on the tour.
	10:40pm Holly in NC: Clicky Magictones for emulating but not slavishly imitating Al Green.
	10:41pm Holly in NC: @Barkevious - unless you need to pay for medical care, rent or mortgage - don't ever sell!
	10:41pm Uncle Michael: I think I like the Bloodhounds.
	10:43pm efd: A Joe Belock discovery!
	10:43pm efd: at least, that's how I discovered them.
	10:44pm Sybil: They do have a good, steady beat that you can dance to.
	10:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly Wouldn't ever consider.
	10:49pm Carmichael: Ok, I got lost in some pizza. Scott from Game Theory died recently. I used to rock with those cool folks. From Davis, CA.
	10:52pm efd: mmmmmm, pizza. Yeah, I think it's actually coming up on 2 years since Scott Miller died. And I was too busy to comment before when you mentioned Jane Dornacker, also RIP.
	10:54pm Barkevious Shabazz: Rams Laman. Top notch.
	10:56pm Holly in NC: Kenny! Where have you been all my life?
	10:56pm Uncle Michael: I almost missed the Kenny!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Malcolm! Angus! George (producing)!
	11:00pm Holly in NC: @efd - Parts of Kenny reminded me of ac/dc & I thought I was insane, but I guess, if so, you are as well :-)
	11:03pm Pat Byrne: :(
	11:06pm Uncle Michael: It should be noted for those of you now furiously seeking out Kenny, the band was variously known as Kenny, and The Kenny.
	11:07pm Holly in NC: FYI, a 2CD best of Kenny exists. Yes it does. @efd, I had a totally crappy day, and your show tonight is erasing every single bit of crap. (Also Gary's show, earlier)
	11:07pm Stevel: UM: How long a drive did you have to get to Chicago for that show? (I was in Madison at the time, yet never made it the three hours for anything.)
	11:08pm Uncle Michael: I think about 45 minutes. I was living in Evanston, then. To get to Chicago itself...four minutes!
	11:11pm Uncle Michael: Elijah Wood, the hobbit DJ.
	11:12pm Holly in NC: Stop poking fun at Frodo! Also, I have heard EW is a very good dj, for real. And Zach Cowie is awesome.
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: Can he see over his decks?
	11:13pm Aharon: You've gotta try the rouge velvet at Cake Shop. Much better than their fishcake, anyway.
	11:13pm Stevel: Poking Frodo: The Elijah Wood Story.
	11:14pm Uncle Michael: Frodo, you broke my heart.
	11:15pm Uncle Michael: It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm tall! Not like everybody says... like short.
	11:16pm Uncle Michael: Al Neri takes Frodo fishing.
	11:19pm Holly in NC: @Stevel & UM, y'all are not being nice. What would your Mamas say? Seriously, I've seen results of some of EW's digging expeditions, and he is no fool. Whether he can mix or not - who knows?
	11:19pm Stevel: Of course, he could always bring the Sin City action. That might be interesting. i.ytimg.com...
	11:20pm Stevel: My Mama would roll her eyes, per usual. You are correct.
	11:20pm Sybil: Maybe he'll bring Wilfred along.
	11:21pm Stevel: Also, when I DJ, it tends to clear the room. Full disclosure.
	11:21pm efd: I am admittedly well out of the loop when it comes to club DJ culture. And in my defense, if the ticket sheet had said "Elijah Wood (The Hobbit dj)" instead of "Elijah Wood (the hobbit dj)" then none of this would have happened.
	11:24pm efd: hi Sybil! Didn't get a chance to greet you earlier! And you too, Aharon, Barkevious, chris, jeff k. and apologies to anyone I missed!
	11:25pm Holly in NC: @efd - belly laughs here - funny how that one H/h makes such a difference! And the Witnesses = yet another great a/dc influenced song, thank you.
	11:27pm Holly in NC: So many stars for Cowley/Socarras.
	11:27pm Stevel: Proper capitalization is our friend.
	11:30pm Aharon: Hi, Evan! Happy new year from the shadow of the Barclays Center. And I'll just add my voice to the chorus that E. Wood has musical talent. Dunno if you caught his 2011 collaboration with Perry Farrell, Ritual de lo Hobbitual, but it was no joke.
	11:31pm Sybil: Today was official "7 varieties of ambiguity" day I think. Can't remember them all, but the most recent one (before the hobbit dj) was a headline I barely saw passing by a restaurant with a big-screen TV. I saw "French Paper Fourth Terrorist" and had an immediate mental picture of French people rushing up to cover the fourth terrorist in wallpaper.
	11:31pm efd: HA HA! I love it.
	11:33pm Uncle Michael: I can't mix for a dance floor to save my life. I wouldn't even try. All props to Fredo Corleone, the DJ.
	11:34pm Uncle Michael: I saw Midge with Ultravox! Yes, I'm exactly that cool.
	11:35pm efd: as did I, UM!
	11:36pm efd: Never saw Ultravox with John Foxx though, sadly. Now THAT would have been cool.
	11:36pm Uncle Michael: Yeah...but I saw them in KANSAS.
	11:36pm Holly in NC: @Sybil - what a FANTASTIC image ! :-) @UM - you are cool.
	11:36pm Uncle Michael: I'm Kansas Kool.
	11:37pm efd: CORRECTION: In my comment from 11:21, please substitute "actor" for "dj." The EFD Show regrets the error.
	11:39pm Sybil: We definitely need more diversity in the acting profession.
	11:41pm Uncle Michael: Just checked...I saw Ultravox open for the Buzzcocks in December of '79. I didn't see them headline the same venue 10 months later.
	11:47pm wendy del formaggio: Mad cow!
	11:47pm Uncle Michael: It's Zero Dark 48. I'm going to hear the last bit in the dark. Thanks, Evan. Night all.
	11:48pm Stevel: Ciao UM. Great evening of back-to-mostly-normal efd-ness.
	11:50pm Holly in NC: Yes, what @Stevel said. Thank you efd!
	11:51pm efd: thank YOU all for listening!
	11:51pm Sem Chumbo: Dug the whole show, I'll be back. Thanks, efd.
	11:55pm chad from oregon: thanks for another great show, EFD
	11:58pm Mugsy: Have a good week efd
	11:59pm Sybil: Thanks and good night!

	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yes ! - a hold-over from the Crucial Three - which Cope & Ian McCullough were both in (w/ Pete Wylie, yes?)
	10:23pm Mugsy: Check
	10:23pm herb.nyc: The Special Pillow? zzz! (ha)
	10:24pm Holly in NC: Yay for discogs, and cheap: www.discogs.com...
	10:25pm herb.nyc: (TMBGiants w/MShelley last wk, great!)
	10:27pm jeff k: Yeah Teardrop Explodes version is the better of the 2.
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...love Bunnymen - but smiling smugly : ) ...
	10:28pm herb.nyc: Ex Hex is #11 in Pazz Jop
	10:28pm efd: Holly, THAT'S IT!! I swear I used to have that single, totally recognize the cover art.
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: The one time I saw Echo, this happened: twitter.com...
	10:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Lolita Nation reissue comin soon.
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This sounds very much like the Teardrops version: www.youtube.com...
	10:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: UM - I saw Billy Bragg open for the Bunnymen too (in Boston) - now you mention it !
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: Did he busk the queue there, too?
	10:35pm Holly in NC: @UM - Billy Bragg happened? @Barkevious - cannot wait for Lolita Nation reissue as my turntable is fried & I'm hoping for bonus tracks ;-)
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: That's Billy outside the Echo show in Chicago.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - not that I know of. Brilliant! (He just plain opened for them @ the Orpheum.)
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - 1984 ?
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: Chicago show was a triple bill. Billy/Fleshtones/Echo. Fleshtomes had a blow up on stage and stormed off and the promoters had to hustle Billy on early. Yes, August of '84.
	10:38pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly Indeedy. . Have the vinyl and cd and have not sold, dammit. .
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: We thought they just got that "guy from the sidewalk." We didn't know who he was or that he was on the tour.
	10:40pm Holly in NC: Clicky Magictones for emulating but not slavishly imitating Al Green.
	10:41pm Holly in NC: @Barkevious - unless you need to pay for medical care, rent or mortgage - don't ever sell!
	10:41pm Uncle Michael: I think I like the Bloodhounds.
	10:43pm efd: A Joe Belock discovery!
	10:43pm efd: at least, that's how I discovered them.
	10:44pm Sybil: They do have a good, steady beat that you can dance to.
	10:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: @Holly Wouldn't ever consider.
	10:49pm Carmichael: Ok, I got lost in some pizza. Scott from Game Theory died recently. I used to rock with those cool folks. From Davis, CA.
	10:52pm efd: mmmmmm, pizza. Yeah, I think it's actually coming up on 2 years since Scott Miller died. And I was too busy to comment before when you mentioned Jane Dornacker, also RIP.
	10:54pm Barkevious Shabazz: Rams Laman. Top notch.
	10:56pm Holly in NC: Kenny! Where have you been all my life?
	10:56pm Uncle Michael: I almost missed the Kenny!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Malcolm! Angus! George (producing)!
	11:00pm Holly in NC: @efd - Parts of Kenny reminded me of ac/dc & I thought I was insane, but I guess, if so, you are as well :-)
	11:03pm Pat Byrne: :(
	11:06pm Uncle Michael: It should be noted for those of you now furiously seeking out Kenny, the band was variously known as Kenny, and The Kenny.
	11:07pm Holly in NC: FYI, a 2CD best of Kenny exists. Yes it does. @efd, I had a totally crappy day, and your show tonight is erasing every single bit of crap. (Also Gary's show, earlier)
	11:07pm Stevel: UM: How long a drive did you have to get to Chicago for that show? (I was in Madison at the time, yet never made it the three hours for anything.)
	11:08pm Uncle Michael: I think about 45 minutes. I was living in Evanston, then. To get to Chicago itself...four minutes!
	11:11pm Uncle Michael: Elijah Wood, the hobbit DJ.
	11:12pm Holly in NC: Stop poking fun at Frodo! Also, I have heard EW is a very good dj, for real. And Zach Cowie is awesome.
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: Can he see over his decks?
	11:13pm Aharon: You've gotta try the rouge velvet at Cake Shop. Much better than their fishcake, anyway.
	11:13pm Stevel: Poking Frodo: The Elijah Wood Story.
	11:14pm Uncle Michael: Frodo, you broke my heart.
	11:15pm Uncle Michael: It ain't the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I'm tall! Not like everybody says... like short.
	11:16pm Uncle Michael: Al Neri takes Frodo fishing.
	11:19pm Holly in NC: @Stevel & UM, y'all are not being nice. What would your Mamas say? Seriously, I've seen results of some of EW's digging expeditions, and he is no fool. Whether he can mix or not - who knows?
	11:19pm Stevel: Of course, he could always bring the Sin City action. That might be interesting. i.ytimg.com...
	11:20pm Stevel: My Mama would roll her eyes, per usual. You are correct.
	11:20pm Sybil: Maybe he'll bring Wilfred along.
	11:21pm Stevel: Also, when I DJ, it tends to clear the room. Full disclosure.
	11:21pm efd: I am admittedly well out of the loop when it comes to club DJ culture. And in my defense, if the ticket sheet had said "Elijah Wood (The Hobbit dj)" instead of "Elijah Wood (the hobbit dj)" then none of this would have happened.
	11:24pm efd: hi Sybil! Didn't get a chance to greet you earlier! And you too, Aharon, Barkevious, chris, jeff k. and apologies to anyone I missed!
	11:25pm Holly in NC: @efd - belly laughs here - funny how that one H/h makes such a difference! And the Witnesses = yet another great a/dc influenced song, thank you.
	11:27pm Holly in NC: So many stars for Cowley/Socarras.
	11:27pm Stevel: Proper capitalization is our friend.
	11:30pm Aharon: Hi, Evan! Happy new year from the shadow of the Barclays Center. And I'll just add my voice to the chorus that E. Wood has musical talent. Dunno if you caught his 2011 collaboration with Perry Farrell, Ritual de lo Hobbitual, but it was no joke.
	11:31pm Sybil: Today was official "7 varieties of ambiguity" day I think. Can't remember them all, but the most recent one (before the hobbit dj) was a headline I barely saw passing by a restaurant with a big-screen TV. I saw "French Paper Fourth Terrorist" and had an immediate mental picture of French people rushing up to cover the fourth terrorist in wallpaper.
	11:31pm efd: HA HA! I love it.
	11:33pm Uncle Michael: I can't mix for a dance floor to save my life. I wouldn't even try. All props to Fredo Corleone, the DJ.
	11:34pm Uncle Michael: I saw Midge with Ultravox! Yes, I'm exactly that cool.
	11:35pm efd: as did I, UM!
	11:36pm efd: Never saw Ultravox with John Foxx though, sadly. Now THAT would have been cool.
	11:36pm Uncle Michael: Yeah...but I saw them in KANSAS.
	11:36pm Holly in NC: @Sybil - what a FANTASTIC image ! :-) @UM - you are cool.
	11:36pm Uncle Michael: I'm Kansas Kool.
	11:37pm efd: CORRECTION: In my comment from 11:21, please substitute "actor" for "dj." The EFD Show regrets the error.
	11:39pm Sybil: We definitely need more diversity in the acting profession.
	11:41pm Uncle Michael: Just checked...I saw Ultravox open for the Buzzcocks in December of '79. I didn't see them headline the same venue 10 months later.
	11:47pm wendy del formaggio: Mad cow!
	11:47pm Uncle Michael: It's Zero Dark 48. I'm going to hear the last bit in the dark. Thanks, Evan. Night all.
	11:48pm Stevel: Ciao UM. Great evening of back-to-mostly-normal efd-ness.
	11:50pm Holly in NC: Yes, what @Stevel said. Thank you efd!
	11:51pm efd: thank YOU all for listening!
	11:51pm Sem Chumbo: Dug the whole show, I'll be back. Thanks, efd.
	11:55pm chad from oregon: thanks for another great show, EFD
	11:58pm Mugsy: Have a good week efd
	11:59pm Sybil: Thanks and good night!
