Listener comments!
	9:04pm Tome: PSG !!!
	9:04pm JakeGould: Secondsies!
	9:05pm JakeGould: BAKER STREET!
	9:05pm Kat in Chicago: Tuned.
	9:10pm Alex of Chicago: Fifth. Still getting used to the new WFMU homepage. It doesn't seem like that much of an improvement, honestly.
	9:11pm Alex of Chicago: But it will get better, I'm sure.
	9:15pm Mailman Tom: I have no idea why there was a need for a new homepage. The old one was perfectly fine!
	9:15pm DJWubfur: Anyone know if Scott's cover of Stamey's song 'Cara Lee' is on a record? (I've got a low-ish bitrate mp3 downloaded from the 125records website in 2008).
	9:17pm chris_in_space: Hey EFD Heads. Good to be here. Should be a GREAT show tonight!
	9:17pm chris_in_space: @MailmanTom AGREED.Really not into the new FMU home page.
	9:18pm adrian in mpls: i assume that at least some of rationale behind the webpage change is to make it responsive/mobile friendly
	9:21pm Mailman Tom: That too bad for those of us who have a desktop computer.
	9:22pm chris_in_space: @adrian in mpls I don't see how the new homepage is any more mobile friendly than the old one, especially when there's a dedicated mobile app.
	9:26pm adrian in mpls: @chris_in_space--responsive websites are able to re-size correctly based on the device -- so they can adjust/collapse/expand information based on screen size. the old wfmu site wouldn't do that.
	9:26pm Stevel: Good evening. Thanks to the end of a hectic work schedule, this is the perfect night to listen. Please carry on with the rocking and such.
	9:28pm Loretta: greetings Evan & those of us who quietly 'tune in' on Wednesdays!!!!
	9:30pm chris_in_space: @adrian in mpls I get that, but thanks. The new homepage doesn't look so great on my iPhone. Not any better than the old one anyway, and the design is not good. Outlined sub headings with a white fill on a white background? Doesn't work for me.
	9:30pm adrian in mpls: that said, i don't necessarily love the mobile sort of browsing experience. I, too, like the old webpage. I'm just hip deep in managing a responsive website transition at my job. One major reason many sites have to switch over to this type of responsive site is that Google now penalizes websites that aren't mobile friendly.
	9:36pm jon: hi efd. thanks for kickin it off with patti smith. classic 70s
	9:45pm Kat in Chicago: Evan, you and I must be about the same age :) Scott was born less than a month before I was.
	9:52pm ChrisB.: Evan, this is a real treat. All this Scott Miller on the radio. All at once!
	9:57pm Barkevious Shabazz: So good..
	9:59pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): What the hell is this? I get busy for a few weeks and the WFMU home page becomes different and foreign to me?
	10:00pm efd: hey everyone, happy to see you're enjoying the show! Please feel free to suggest Game Theory/Loud Family songs you might like to hear later - I don't want to keep Brett on the phone all night so I'm coming back after this, but I think I might keep the Scott tunes going for a while after we hang up.
	10:00pm Uncle Michael: This must be my stop.
	10:01pm Barkevious Shabazz: Rise of the Chokehold Princess.
	10:01pm courtneynoir: Totally ruling, EFD
	10:01pm Sue Trowbridge: If you want to make me tear up, "Way Too Helpful," which I think may be his most beautiful song. (This is Sue who published Brett's book, BTW.) Thanks for doing this show and helping expose more people to Scott's music.
	10:03pm Barkevious Shabazz: Just Gone.
	10:03pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Anyway, shout-out to Brett from a former Phoenix reader. Many of his readings there provided a worthy background to my rock 'n' roll life up here.
	10:03pm ChrisB.: How about some Loud Family, Evan? "Don't Respond, She Can Tell." And Hi Sue!
	10:05pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Sue, I recognize your name from loudfamily.com, nice to see you here.
	10:06pm Sue Trowbridge: Hi Chris and Kat! Nice to see some Scott fans here tonight.
	10:07pm TerryBurns: "Like a Girl Jesus" and "Cortex the Killer" come to mind. Thanks, Evan and Brett.
	10:09pm dmsacks: Thanks for doing this show! Very exciting.
	10:10pm TerryBurns: Nailed it, Brett! "Any kid who loved Weezer..."
	10:16pm Sue Trowbridge: Here is a link to I Love You All: https://scottmiller.tilt.com/scott-miller-i-love-you-all--2
	10:20pm TerryBurns: Evan, thanks for honoring Brett's respectful approach to Scott's life and death and contributions in the book. I thought the same, but you articulated it. And Chardonnay!
	10:21pm efd: thanks everyone - I'll work on getting to some of your requests now. And I've got another exclusive track to share - a cover from a planned Scott Miller tribute album, so stay tune!
	10:22pm efd: and Sue, thank you for everything you and Joe have done over the years to help get Scott's music out there.
	10:25pm Kat in Chicago: oh my god, the genius of that bridge.
	10:27pm Sue Trowbridge: Thanks, Evan! BTW speaking of the Scott tribute album, Eric Matthews (ex-Cardinal) did a cover of Game Theory's "Selfish Again" that is supposed to be on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwa4SvbSqZc
	10:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: What a loss.
	10:30pm Stevel: Nice segue.
	10:31pm Sue Trowbridge: My request. First time I've listened to this song since Scott died, but it plays in my head a lot
	10:32pm efd: sorry to make you tear up, Sue, but I can't deny you your request.
	10:32pm Stevel: Bless you, Sue.
	10:33pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Whenever The Loud Family comes up (usually here on the Evan "Funk" Davies show) I wonder why I wasn't listening to it sooner, and am thankful that I am now.
	10:33pm Barkevious Shabazz: Saw the family on this tour. Utterly great.
	10:33pm TerryBurns: Truly a beautiful song. Allison is lovely on this. Keyboards and vocals. Understand...
	10:37pm nixxon: Win.. nice!
	10:39pm Sue Trowbridge: To be honest, I don't know if Scott would have liked having a book written about him -- he was a pretty self-effacing guy -- but he would have loved the hell out of having an entire show devoted to his music (+ songs by some of his favorite artists). He was justifiably proud of his music, and he was a real perfectionist about everything he released. Incidentally, David Bowie's "The Next Day" was the last new album Scott truly loved -- we discussed it just 2 weeks before he died. He adored the fact that Bowie had just dropped it out of nowhere like that.
	10:40pm Stevel: Need Young Americans in a traveling format.
	10:44pm Kat in Chicago: devastating couplet there
	10:44pm Barkevious Shabazz: Maybe I better just sit down.
	10:44pm efd: Sue, I remember you mentioned Scott's love for The Next Day in the note you posted announcing his passing, and Brett discusses it in the book as well. I pulled that album as well earlier tonight, but had to go with "Win" in that moment.
	10:51pm Danne D: Hi EFD, Hi Everyone!
	10:51pm Stevel: Previously unfamiliar with Game Theory, The Loud Family and Scott Miller, I'm enjoying this introduction. Music lives. Greetings, Danne D!
	10:52pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Danne
	10:52pm Danne D: Hiya Kat.
	10:52pm Danne D: Nobody does a tribute show better than EFD
	10:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: "Aerodeliria"
	10:56pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I call bullshit. Paramus has no Denny's.
	10:58pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I stand corrected—Denny's Childrenswear occupies a space in what remains of the Fashion Center. I think Tom and Dave are risking police involvement if they attempt a radio show in its back room.
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: In a better world there are huge crowds singing along to choruses like this one
	10:59pm Danne D: Well Pete maybe you should call in Monday to get to the bottom of the mystery :)
	11:03pm TerryBurns: Kat, so true. We are singing along. And delighted by each song presented as s single if a swell segue. And that moment when the next song in the album that you know like your own heartbeat doesn't come up? Cool!
	11:03pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): EFD, you make my music world better again, but I have to call it early tonight. Please keep these good folks entertained with more of this good stuff. I am off.
	11:04pm efd: thanks much, Pete!
	11:06pm Larry Brantley: Cortex! They played this at my request in Athens on the last tour.
	11:06pm tonyb: danne: paramus is my turf i expect a tribute i just want to wet my beak : )
	11:06pm Danne D: G'night Pete! What's up TonyB? :)
	11:07pm Danne D: @TonyB you have to take that up with Tom and Dave, sir.
	11:07pm Sue Trowbridge: "Oh baby I guess I just am" - a lot of us thought when this song came out that they were singing, "Oh baby I've got such a stem" :)
	11:07pm tonyb: and i'll guarantee security.
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: haha Sue, it does sound like that.
	11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Another act called "The Loud Family" was a skit on Saturday Night Live in the late 70s. I forgot all about it until seeing the playlist here.
	11:09pm ChrisB.: The Loud Family played live on Irene Trudel's show. Should be in the archive someplace.
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: @Ken here's where all of that comes from originally www.pbs.org...
	11:09pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Loud family were an actual family in a PBS program.
	11:11pm Bernard Twinkie: Genius
	11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hmm, that's news to me. Time to insert on of those "The more you know ..." GIFs. Thanks for that information.
	11:12pm $mall ¢hange: Hey Evan plane.took forever. Prob be a bit late sorry dude on my way
	11:13pm TerryBurns: Ted Leo contributed beautifully to Scott tribute show.
	11:13pm Michael A: Thank you doing this show. And thanks to Brett for the wonderful book.
	11:14pm Danne D: Evil double agents messing with $¢'s travel plans again :(
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: An American Family was a Very Big Deal at the time, not much talked about these days though.
	11:15pm tonyb: $c: NWK
	11:16pm Kat in Chicago: The first reality series, I guess?
	11:16pm Danne D: @Kat - yeah it's covered extensively in the book "1973: Nervous Breakdown" - www.amazon.com...
	11:16pm efd: and one of the few really real reality series.
	11:17pm Michael A: If I might humbly suggest Motives and Irony from Loud Family. That one always eviscerates me.
	11:17pm Danne D: @TonyB - why is he at the Greyhound Station? Thought he'd be at EWR.
	11:18pm Danne D: @ChrisB haven't been able to dig that live set up in the archives...
	11:19pm ChrisB.: Scott re-recorded Beach State Rocking and a few of his other early songs with the last GT lineup for the "Tinkers to Evers to Chance" best of compilation, their last for Enigma.
	11:19pm tonyb: the 'dog stops in newark penn 20 min. away not bad he might be flying
	11:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: I guess depending on the arrival time of $mall ¢hange, we might get some extended coverage of tonight's featured artists.
	11:21pm efd: indeed, Ken.
	11:21pm JakeGould: Quote nice show, Evan! Working while listening.
	11:21pm Kat in Chicago: @Danne I was 13 in 1973 so I remember all of that pretty well. I didn't see An American Family, though. Don't know if my parents watched it - my mom was into "educational television" but my dad might have vetoed it.
	11:22pm ChrisB.: @Danne: Pretty sure it was in 2000, during the Attractive Nuisance tour.
	11:22pm Danne D: @ChrisB ahhhhhhhhh - most of the archives go back to 2002.
	11:24pm Danne D: @ChrisB here is the show: www.wfmu.org... (real audio link is in the page - search Loud Family)
	11:24pm Danne D: (I mean the main archives btw - Irene's go back further if you go to her show page)
	11:25pm ChrisB.: @Danne Wow! Thanks!
	11:27pm TerryBurns: Thanks, EFD. This evening is such a grand tribute.
	11:30pm efd: thanks Terry, glad you're enjoying it.
	11:30pm Sue Trowbridge: The Both played a show in San Francisco shortly before Scott's death. From the book: "One project that Scott indirectly set in motion—Aimee Mann and Ted Leo’s new duo project as the Both—hit San Francisco in March of 2013, and Aimee would come to regret the jitters that kept her from inviting him to the show." I attended that show and had ask Scott if he wanted to come, but I didn't hear back.
	11:31pm Michael A: Oh this is a gem!!!
	11:31pm efd: ah, thank you for the correction Sue! I should have remembered that from the book but... well, my memory's not what it used to be.
	11:32pm Santos L. Halper: Hell and damnation, missed the S Miller show. Will savor in the archives; thanks for putting this together Evan, looks great.
	11:34pm Sue Trowbridge: ha, the only reason I know the book as well as I do is because I proofread it so many times!
	11:37pm Michael A: The only time I've ever heard this much Scott Miller on the radio is when I had a radio show in the 90's...my gosh, I love this tune.
	11:39pm Bill Barton: really enjoying this show. thanks a bunch!
	11:39pm ChrisB.: Yes! Thanks EFD!
	11:41pm Bill Barton: somehow Anton Barbeau wasn't aware of this. I pinged him on FB right when it started to see if he was still up (4AM in Germany). He was, and said he might listen a bit before crashing
	11:42pm Sue Trowbridge: Nice to hear something from "Dynamico"!
	11:42pm efd: oh cool - that reminds me I need to get to something from What If It Works
	11:43pm KP: Mitch Easter is dialing it up
	11:43pm Michael A: I don't have this album. I need this album, apparently.
	11:44pm efd: that Dynamico album is so good! Mitch played on my show around the time it came out and he was great.
	11:45pm ChrisB.: Is it too late for "Last Day That We're Young?"
	11:52pm efd: ChrisB, maybe If I have a little spillover time I can fit it in, but I've got a couple of others in my mental queue too
	12:00am JakeGould: Extra innings!
	12:05am efd: just saw $mall ¢hange walk in, so this is gonna do it. Thank you all so much for listening and all the positive feedback!
	12:05am Kat in Chicago: Thank you Evan!!!
	12:06am Sue Trowbridge: Thank YOU, Evan! Fantastic show, and thanks to everyone here in the chat room for the company
	12:06am Stevel: Thanks, as always!
	12:06am Larry Brantley: Thanks so much! Great show,
	12:07am Ignore Function: Great show.
	12:08am ChrisB.: Nice way to go out, don't you think?
	12:09am TerryBurns: Didn't we know we had it all?
	12:09am Danne D: Thanks for a great show Evan :) Have a good night everyone! Until next time!
	12:11am TerryBurns: Thank you, EFD and Brett and fellow travelers.

The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from December 2, 2015

View efd's profile

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to The Evan "Funk" Davies Show playlists | Next playlist -->

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!

December 2, 2015: Special guest Brett Milano, author of Don't All Thank Me At Once: The Lost Pop Genius of Scott Miller.

	10:16pm Sue Trowbridge: Here is a link to I Love You All: https://scottmiller.tilt.com/scott-miller-i-love-you-all--2
	10:20pm TerryBurns: Evan, thanks for honoring Brett's respectful approach to Scott's life and death and contributions in the book. I thought the same, but you articulated it. And Chardonnay!
	10:21pm efd: thanks everyone - I'll work on getting to some of your requests now. And I've got another exclusive track to share - a cover from a planned Scott Miller tribute album, so stay tune!
	10:22pm efd: and Sue, thank you for everything you and Joe have done over the years to help get Scott's music out there.
	10:25pm Kat in Chicago: oh my god, the genius of that bridge.
	10:27pm Sue Trowbridge: Thanks, Evan! BTW speaking of the Scott tribute album, Eric Matthews (ex-Cardinal) did a cover of Game Theory's "Selfish Again" that is supposed to be on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwa4SvbSqZc
	10:28pm Barkevious Shabazz: What a loss.
	10:30pm Stevel: Nice segue.
	10:31pm Sue Trowbridge: My request. First time I've listened to this song since Scott died, but it plays in my head a lot
	10:32pm efd: sorry to make you tear up, Sue, but I can't deny you your request.
	10:32pm Stevel: Bless you, Sue.
	10:33pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Whenever The Loud Family comes up (usually here on the Evan "Funk" Davies show) I wonder why I wasn't listening to it sooner, and am thankful that I am now.
	10:33pm Barkevious Shabazz: Saw the family on this tour. Utterly great.
	10:33pm TerryBurns: Truly a beautiful song. Allison is lovely on this. Keyboards and vocals. Understand...
	10:37pm nixxon: Win.. nice!
	10:39pm Sue Trowbridge: To be honest, I don't know if Scott would have liked having a book written about him -- he was a pretty self-effacing guy -- but he would have loved the hell out of having an entire show devoted to his music (+ songs by some of his favorite artists). He was justifiably proud of his music, and he was a real perfectionist about everything he released. Incidentally, David Bowie's "The Next Day" was the last new album Scott truly loved -- we discussed it just 2 weeks before he died. He adored the fact that Bowie had just dropped it out of nowhere like that.
	10:40pm Stevel: Need Young Americans in a traveling format.
	10:44pm Kat in Chicago: devastating couplet there
	10:44pm Barkevious Shabazz: Maybe I better just sit down.
	10:44pm efd: Sue, I remember you mentioned Scott's love for The Next Day in the note you posted announcing his passing, and Brett discusses it in the book as well. I pulled that album as well earlier tonight, but had to go with "Win" in that moment.
	10:51pm Danne D: Hi EFD, Hi Everyone!
	10:51pm Stevel: Previously unfamiliar with Game Theory, The Loud Family and Scott Miller, I'm enjoying this introduction. Music lives. Greetings, Danne D!
	10:52pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Danne
	10:52pm Danne D: Hiya Kat.
	10:52pm Danne D: Nobody does a tribute show better than EFD
	10:53pm Barkevious Shabazz: "Aerodeliria"
	10:56pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I call bullshit. Paramus has no Denny's.
	10:58pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I stand corrected—Denny's Childrenswear occupies a space in what remains of the Fashion Center. I think Tom and Dave are risking police involvement if they attempt a radio show in its back room.
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: In a better world there are huge crowds singing along to choruses like this one
	10:59pm Danne D: Well Pete maybe you should call in Monday to get to the bottom of the mystery :)
	11:03pm TerryBurns: Kat, so true. We are singing along. And delighted by each song presented as s single if a swell segue. And that moment when the next song in the album that you know like your own heartbeat doesn't come up? Cool!
	11:03pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): EFD, you make my music world better again, but I have to call it early tonight. Please keep these good folks entertained with more of this good stuff. I am off.
	11:04pm efd: thanks much, Pete!
	11:06pm Larry Brantley: Cortex! They played this at my request in Athens on the last tour.
	11:06pm tonyb: danne: paramus is my turf i expect a tribute i just want to wet my beak : )
	11:06pm Danne D: G'night Pete! What's up TonyB? :)
	11:07pm Danne D: @TonyB you have to take that up with Tom and Dave, sir.
	11:07pm Sue Trowbridge: "Oh baby I guess I just am" - a lot of us thought when this song came out that they were singing, "Oh baby I've got such a stem" :)
	11:07pm tonyb: and i'll guarantee security.
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: haha Sue, it does sound like that.
	11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Another act called "The Loud Family" was a skit on Saturday Night Live in the late 70s. I forgot all about it until seeing the playlist here.
	11:09pm ChrisB.: The Loud Family played live on Irene Trudel's show. Should be in the archive someplace.
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: @Ken here's where all of that comes from originally www.pbs.org...
	11:09pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Loud family were an actual family in a PBS program.
	11:11pm Bernard Twinkie: Genius
	11:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hmm, that's news to me. Time to insert on of those "The more you know ..." GIFs. Thanks for that information.
	11:12pm $mall ¢hange: Hey Evan plane.took forever. Prob be a bit late sorry dude on my way
	11:13pm TerryBurns: Ted Leo contributed beautifully to Scott tribute show.
	11:13pm Michael A: Thank you doing this show. And thanks to Brett for the wonderful book.
	11:14pm Danne D: Evil double agents messing with $¢'s travel plans again :(
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: An American Family was a Very Big Deal at the time, not much talked about these days though.
	11:15pm tonyb: $c: NWK
	11:16pm Kat in Chicago: The first reality series, I guess?
	11:16pm Danne D: @Kat - yeah it's covered extensively in the book "1973: Nervous Breakdown" - www.amazon.com...
	11:16pm efd: and one of the few really real reality series.
	11:17pm Michael A: If I might humbly suggest Motives and Irony from Loud Family. That one always eviscerates me.
	11:17pm Danne D: @TonyB - why is he at the Greyhound Station? Thought he'd be at EWR.
	11:18pm Danne D: @ChrisB haven't been able to dig that live set up in the archives...
	11:19pm ChrisB.: Scott re-recorded Beach State Rocking and a few of his other early songs with the last GT lineup for the "Tinkers to Evers to Chance" best of compilation, their last for Enigma.
	11:19pm tonyb: the 'dog stops in newark penn 20 min. away not bad he might be flying
	11:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: I guess depending on the arrival time of $mall ¢hange, we might get some extended coverage of tonight's featured artists.
	11:21pm efd: indeed, Ken.
	11:21pm JakeGould: Quote nice show, Evan! Working while listening.
	11:21pm Kat in Chicago: @Danne I was 13 in 1973 so I remember all of that pretty well. I didn't see An American Family, though. Don't know if my parents watched it - my mom was into "educational television" but my dad might have vetoed it.
	11:22pm ChrisB.: @Danne: Pretty sure it was in 2000, during the Attractive Nuisance tour.
	11:22pm Danne D: @ChrisB ahhhhhhhhh - most of the archives go back to 2002.
	11:24pm Danne D: @ChrisB here is the show: www.wfmu.org... (real audio link is in the page - search Loud Family)
	11:24pm Danne D: (I mean the main archives btw - Irene's go back further if you go to her show page)
	11:25pm ChrisB.: @Danne Wow! Thanks!
	11:27pm TerryBurns: Thanks, EFD. This evening is such a grand tribute.
	11:30pm efd: thanks Terry, glad you're enjoying it.
	11:30pm Sue Trowbridge: The Both played a show in San Francisco shortly before Scott's death. From the book: "One project that Scott indirectly set in motion—Aimee Mann and Ted Leo’s new duo project as the Both—hit San Francisco in March of 2013, and Aimee would come to regret the jitters that kept her from inviting him to the show." I attended that show and had ask Scott if he wanted to come, but I didn't hear back.
	11:31pm Michael A: Oh this is a gem!!!
	11:31pm efd: ah, thank you for the correction Sue! I should have remembered that from the book but... well, my memory's not what it used to be.
	11:32pm Santos L. Halper: Hell and damnation, missed the S Miller show. Will savor in the archives; thanks for putting this together Evan, looks great.
	11:34pm Sue Trowbridge: ha, the only reason I know the book as well as I do is because I proofread it so many times!
	11:37pm Michael A: The only time I've ever heard this much Scott Miller on the radio is when I had a radio show in the 90's...my gosh, I love this tune.
	11:39pm Bill Barton: really enjoying this show. thanks a bunch!
	11:39pm ChrisB.: Yes! Thanks EFD!
	11:41pm Bill Barton: somehow Anton Barbeau wasn't aware of this. I pinged him on FB right when it started to see if he was still up (4AM in Germany). He was, and said he might listen a bit before crashing
	11:42pm Sue Trowbridge: Nice to hear something from "Dynamico"!
	11:42pm efd: oh cool - that reminds me I need to get to something from What If It Works
	11:43pm KP: Mitch Easter is dialing it up
	11:43pm Michael A: I don't have this album. I need this album, apparently.
	11:44pm efd: that Dynamico album is so good! Mitch played on my show around the time it came out and he was great.
	11:45pm ChrisB.: Is it too late for "Last Day That We're Young?"
	11:52pm efd: ChrisB, maybe If I have a little spillover time I can fit it in, but I've got a couple of others in my mental queue too
	12:00am JakeGould: Extra innings!
	12:05am efd: just saw $mall ¢hange walk in, so this is gonna do it. Thank you all so much for listening and all the positive feedback!
	12:05am Kat in Chicago: Thank you Evan!!!
	12:06am Sue Trowbridge: Thank YOU, Evan! Fantastic show, and thanks to everyone here in the chat room for the company
	12:06am Stevel: Thanks, as always!
	12:06am Larry Brantley: Thanks so much! Great show,
	12:07am Ignore Function: Great show.
	12:08am ChrisB.: Nice way to go out, don't you think?
	12:09am TerryBurns: Didn't we know we had it all?
	12:09am Danne D: Thanks for a great show Evan :) Have a good night everyone! Until next time!
