Listener comments!
	9:03pm Stevel: Shabby Tiger! Favorite band name of the week!
	9:04pm efd: dammit, this record didn't skip at all when I played it earlier
	9:05pm JakeGould: @EFD: It was saving the skip for it’s very special moment on air.
	9:07pm efd: stupid record.
	9:07pm efd: And @Stevel, that's pretty much what I thought when I came across the Shabby Tiger record in the bins.
	9:08pm Alex von Chicago: Song must be about David Cameron.
	9:10pm JakeGould: @EFD: One of the first LPs I ever bought as a kid was the soundtrack to “The Empire Strikes Back” and—despite the fact I no longer own it—I still know exactly what cue and theme has that skip.
	9:12pm JakeGould: I don’t know about the backing vocals in “Mainstreet U.S.A.”
	9:14pm Loretta: hi all.....I've been on vacation ~ missed you guys!
	9:17pm Barkevious Shabazz: Lori and the Chameleons!
	9:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Loretta ! efdenizens...
	9:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Evan!
	9:22pm efd: Welcome back Loretta, and welcome Bronwyn, RRN63, Alex, Barkevious, and all lurkers! Happy to have you all here!
	9:22pm efd: Barkevious, I don't think Lori & The Chameleons was one of the records I pulled out to bring tonight, sorry to say. But I'll get to it!
	9:23pm JakeGould: And I am happy to be here too. Sorry for my production snits at the beginning. Great show!
	9:24pm efd: I was in a snit myself over that skipping, so no worries!
	9:24pm JakeGould: If Barkevious Shabazz is actually a cute bull terrier, all the better!
	9:24pm Stevel: Skipping snits. Also a great band name.
	9:29pm efd: they could be on a bill with the Sniveling Shits.
	9:29pm Stevel: NOW you're onto something!
	9:31pm JakeGould: As well as “Power Nap.”
	9:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love London and Amsterdam! I miss them :(
	9:34pm Chris M.: my life's goal is to one day borrow $15 from EFD
	9:38pm Loretta: hi RR63!! ~ haven't seen you here in a while.. & Bark...hi there to you too! that's a cool name for a group ~ Lori & the Chameleons. or maybe it would be nice to will hear some Teenage Lust & the Lustettes!?!
	9:40pm sugarwolf: I think you bought more records in one trip to London than I did living there for a year! Wow!
	9:43pm JakeGould: @Chris M.: “my life's goal is to one day borrow $15 from EFD” If you say that in a hospital gown with an IV drip and sitting in a wheelchair, maybe that would work.
	9:46pm Erella: I love this song. Wow. Someone should send it to an artist like Sam Smith. So great. Thank you.
	9:46pm efd: @sugarwolf It's a bit of a sickness, I've come to discover.
	9:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: And a Sheet Music. Quite the haul!
	9:47pm herb.nyc: So sweet, RIP Ken Lewis
	9:51pm Scott: Hey what's the background music between sets? Always love it. Want it!
	9:51pm efd: @herb and @Erella, glad you liked it. Honestly I feel honored to be able to play it.
	9:54pm Erella: It is beautiful. Do let him know. Sorry Ken Lewis is dead.
	9:54pm efd: @Scott, it's a loop from "Saturday Night" by The Lordz Of Brooklyn, which itself samples "American Woman" by the Guess Who.
	9:56pm JakeGould: @Scott: Here you go… www.youtube.com...
	9:58pm MR: Tubular!
	9:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '65 - when no one knew Hendrix was alive (yet)...
	10:02pm Scott: Sweet. Thanks Jake!
	10:02pm jmd: @EFD, why did you play the Harpo song. I didn't like it, but I have no doubt it will be stuck in my head.
	10:03pm Scott: And thanks for background Evan. Love the Guess Who .
	10:04pm Barkevious Shabazz: And Manicured Noise!
	10:04pm efd: @jmd That's why I played it!
	10:05pm jmd: Damn you to hell...thanks. DAMN YOU!
	10:08pm Jeff from Rahway: Jeezus, EFD, did you see the VIDEO for that dj kat song? youtu.be...
	10:09pm efd: uh-oh... no I have not, Jeff! I'll have to check it out later.
	10:09pm Bronwyn Bishop: Was nice to hear Oldfield covering ABBA earlier
	10:14pm steve: haha the dj kat cover!
	10:15pm steve: ohh my god the video (muted of course)
	10:15pm steve: hahahaha
	10:16pm JakeGould: The whole Discogs page for DJ Kat is the literal definition of “Amazeballs”: www.discogs.com...
	10:20pm JakeGould: Jesus christ! That DJ Kat video is giving me very specific NYC music video flashbacks. Damn!
	10:20pm steve: what would i do without wfmu
	10:25pm JakeGould: @steve: There’s a big cartoon bubble over your head right now showing you in a nice, clean organized studio saying, “Wow! I finally got that done!”
	10:27pm JakeGould: Ahhh! The Hemingers!!!
	10:29pm Stevel: The Hemingers hale from just north of these parts.
	10:31pm Bronwyn Bishop: This is one of the only good songs that ever comes up in my preprogrammed sets on my school's radio station.
	10:50pm exiledinbk: I thought this song is called neighborhood watch
	10:54pm efd: oh I think you're right! I didn't notice that the track list starts on the left side of the CD cover as opposed to the top of the CD cover. Thanks for the correction!
	10:58pm efd: Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment to let you know that it's "crunch time" here at WFMU - the time when we need a little extra help in the money department, but we don't interrupt our shows on the air like we do during the yearly fundraising marathon. If you can, please take a moment to make a pledge to my show via that white box at the top left of your browser, or by just clicking on this link: www.wfmu.org... We'll make it worth your while with cool new t-shirts and other swag. Plus great radio, of course. Thanks!
	11:23pm Erella: Good reminder! Thank you.
	11:26pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi Funk Fans :)
	11:27pm Danne D: Happy Hockey Season Everyone :) (but still go Blue Jays!)
	11:27pm JakeGould: What’s a hockey?
	11:27pm efd: uh oh.
	11:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Don Rickles would know about hockey stuff. Ya hockey puck!
	11:30pm JakeGould: Hey, the Islanders are now in Brooklyn… I might actually go to a game then.
	11:36pm Danne D: :( Islanders are in the wrong place
	11:36pm Jeff from Rahway: For us hockey fans, the long, hot summer is almost at an end. Bring on the ice.
	11:36pm Danne D: I will watching my Devils subtracting 30 years mentally as our record will be like the 1985 Devils
	11:38pm Jeff from Rahway: @Danne D does that mean Z-100 will do another parody song about how shitty the Devils are?
	11:41pm Danne D: @Jeff :( I remember that song
	11:41pm Danne D: but that was for the '83-84 Devils
	11:43pm Jeff from Rahway: @Danne D ah yes, another shitty product of Billy McMillan and Max McNab.
	11:44pm Danne D: @Jeff the club was essentially expansion-level bu that predated them. Early groundwork being laid with the drafting of guys like Daneyko, MacLean, and Driver
	11:45pm Danne D: The Devils have a wealth of good young defensemen now. They'll be good again before you know it. But this year - I think we probably get around 70 points. Hopefully I'm wrong and they get 25 more than that.
	11:50pm Jeff from Rahway: @Danne D, watching the team last year was like watching a bunch of old men skate through molasses. They got younger, I hope they can skate faster and oh...trade Travis Zajac please.
	11:52pm Danne D: Zajac can only get traded to a team trying to make the salary floor. And I don't believe the rumors about Toronto from that hack Chere. Let's see how he does with a new system though. He'll lets see how they all do (though I'd be surprised if they have a single + player this year). Cory will be busy.
	11:53pm Danne D: Pulling for the Leafs as team #2 - excited to see what Lou will do there.
	11:57pm Jeff from Rahway: I wanna see how Lou is gonna handle the Toronto media.
	11:58pm Jeff from Rahway: Oh and BTW, this Ultimate Painting song is excellent...they put on a fantastic show @ Rough Trade last month. Almost forgot about the music.
	11:58pm Danne D: @Jeff he'll handle 'em fine :) Anyway thanks for the usual greatness EFD :) And have a good night everyone :) Go Devils!!! Go Blue Jays!!!
	11:39am Paul Johnston: Catching up with the show in Dunfermline, Scotland. Wonderful tribute to Ken Lewis from John. Great to other other Carter-Lewis tracks too.

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!
