Listener comments!
	9:05pm chris_in_space: Hey all. Welcome back @efd. Missed ya. Bruno was indeed awesome in your absence.
	9:08pm efd: thanks chris, I'm thrilled to be back!
	9:08pm jon: hi efd. hi listeners
	9:11pm mariano: Hey efd, folks! Great to be here with y'all this evening!
	9:12pm mariano: Yeah, @chris -- Bruno knocked it out of the park, didn't he?
	9:14pm DonJuanTijuana: TV- on..Olympics...sound mute...EFD Full Blast!
	9:14pm chris_in_space: He did @mariano, he really did. Not the same vibe as our man @efd, but he did. Really great to be here with y'all on this fine, hot AF Wednesday night in Toronto.
	9:15pm Chris M.: i remember when they played glycerine on mtv
	9:17pm P-90: Greetings efd and Funkulators
	9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...why'm I thinkin' of Clay...
	9:24pm mariano: Very 60s sounding, even for something from '75!
	9:25pm mariano: Oh wait... never mind, looking at the year from the Trooper song, whoops!
	9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...from 60s to 70s - Heauhhhhhveeeey mahn...
	9:27pm efd: yeah, 1970 is still basically the 60's!
	9:27pm P-90: Ahh,, the days when men were men and wah-wah oedals were wah-wah pedals...
	9:30pm mariano: No way, efd -- no slight on you at all, you're both great!
	9:31pm JakeGould: What was Edward Bear’s follow-up to “Bearnings?” Why a few years later they just released this amazingly covered eponymous LP. img.discogs.com...
	9:31pm chris_in_space: Yeah @efd, we're here for the funk as seen through your eyes. Always will be.
	9:32pm Loretta: hi Evan & all listeners......great to be here!
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nine Below Zero was on 'The Young Ones'.
	9:34pm Chris M.: Whitey is a great name tbh. i recently met a great dog named Whitey
	9:35pm P-90: Chris Spedding?!
	9:36pm JakeGould: It would be great if a future Republican presidential candidate could just be called “Whitey.”
	9:36pm tadpoles: First Sharks LP is great too.
	9:37pm mariano: Got any Triumph?
	9:39pm JakeGould: Sharks, Bush, Bear… Trooper, Wine, Brothers… Below zero PhD. Your artists today are quite narrative.
	9:42pm Chris M.: hey efd what's your phone number i want to prank call you so don't answer
	9:43pm efd: this seems counterproductive.
	9:44pm JakeGould: @ChrisM: You drunk or is this insane humidity giving you some reverse-bends or something?
	9:48pm JakeGould: I guess I crossed a boundary with Chris. :/ Sorry!
	9:51pm mariano: Oh, I dunno, @JakeGould, just some harmless horsin' around. And I'm no stranger to posting here in various stages of inebriation, though that's sadly not the case tonight, got too much work!
	9:51pm chris_in_space: Wow, Scott & Charlene's Wedding... so good
	9:54pm efd: yeah, I avoided that band for a long time because of their name. A foolish and capricious decision on my part, in hindsight.
	10:02pm Cheri Pi: Heya EFD, killing me!!!
	10:04pm chris_in_space: @efd I do that all the time with bands and their name. Current case in point: Car Seat Headrest <shudder>. Probably not a bad band though.
	10:06pm efd: sorry/not sorry! :)
	10:06pm Carmichael: Evan, what it is...
	10:06pm efd: @chris_in_space YES. That's another one for sure.
	10:08pm mariano: Writhing Squares, on the other hand -- now there's a band name!
	10:10pm chris_in_space: @mariano thumbs up
	10:10pm coelacanth: good evening efd and fellow writhing squares
	10:11pm chris_in_space: @coelacanth ha, evening
	10:13pm coelacanth: hey chris!
	10:13pm mariano: Was about to say, this sounds like the Canadian version of The Cars before I looked, don't know this album that well. Hey @coelacanth, feeling better I hope?
	10:14pm Carmichael: Best band name of the 80s/90s: The The.
	10:16pm JakeGould: Welsh! Gah!
	10:17pm mariano: Hey, nice to hear some Welsh! Sorry, I kinda dig it, Jake...
	10:17pm coelacanth: greetings mariano! better, Thanks for asking.
	10:18pm mariano: Well alright, @coelacanth, that's what I like to hear!
	10:19pm efd: dwynt knyykc wyylsh!
	10:20pm mariano: Celtic languages are great for singing, I think, especially Irish Gaelic.
	10:20pm JakeGould: I NEVER SAID I HATED IT! I JUST COME FROM AN EASTERN EUROPEAN FAMILY AND ARE VOWEL SENSITIVE.
	10:21pm mariano: No, not knocking you @JakeGould, to each his own!
	10:24pm Carmichael: I'm Irish, and I still laugh at the Welsh word spellings. Sorry, Wales people.
	10:24pm chris_in_space: If I know @JakeGould–and I've seen him around these and other FMU parts for quite a while now, consistently–I'm calling "ironic" on those ALL-CAPS there.
	10:27pm mariano: Welsh does have that one sound, the way they pronounce "LL" which is kind of like a slurred "thl."
	10:32pm coelacanth: i may (probably?) have some welsh in me, and i don't get it... but i do quite like to hear a woman singing in welsh.
	10:35pm mariano: There's a great old movie with Alec Guinness about two Welsh country boys who win tickets to go see a soccer match in London, and they get lost and have all kinds of misadventures. But there's this one scene where one of them wants a beer at a pub after last call, and the barkeep tells him it's the law, and he says scornfully "You and your Saxon laws!" Always made me chuckle.
	10:37pm melinda: good evening everyone
	10:37pm Carmichael: I found the Explorers Club on FMU many years ago. Excellent surf sound!
	10:42pm efd: They have a lot of #1 Hits!
	10:48pm Bootsie: @EFD I'm pretty sure Sparks recorded the BEST summer song ever.
	10:50pm coelacanth: hi melinda! ...yay! go social media airhorn!
	10:50pm melinda: efd are you doing another disco party show this summer?
	10:52pm melinda: hi coel! airhorns are great for grabbing one's attention.
	10:52pm Marc: My favorite summer song is the Number One Song the day I was born: "Summer In The City" by The Lovin' Spoonful
	10:52pm efd: YES! Two weeks from tonight, Aug 24th!
	10:53pm coelacanth: i'm watching the olympics but keeping the inane, fratboy commentary at a minimum volume. the airhorn rose right above it.
	10:53pm melinda: Cool!
	10:57pm Michael 98145: @coelacanth, we're watching the less offensive CBC Canadian coverage
	10:58pm Michael 98145: @Marc, now i DO feel older ...
	10:58pm Chris M.: incredifunk as always efd. still waiting for you to post your personal phone number on the comments.
	10:58pm coelacanth: Thanks for Bowie. Michael, i imagine that's much better!
	11:00pm Howard F: Good Evening friends! Perfect evening for some Bowie.
	11:00pm Michael 98145: ^ we are close enough to the border to benefit from their coverage
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...are we dose enuff to be... Does the current Psychedelia tendency have a name yet?
	11:09pm Michael 98145: ^ surely there is a hashtag
	11:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they came from Planet Claire...
	11:26pm Michael 98145: nice set ...
	11:26pm efd: @RRN63 I was tempted to dash into the library and grab that B-52s album but decided against it.
	11:27pm efd: thanks Michael!
	11:32pm herb.nyc: (Bk from mass., EFD-land!)
	11:33pm melinda: A late night service, Herb?
	11:38pm herb.nyc: (Ha, mass vs MA)
	11:39pm Faye: This rules why did I refuse to preview this
	11:39pm melinda: the Julie Ruin? it does rule
	11:40pm Michael 98145: very nice
	11:40pm efd: still time, Faye!
	11:41pm mariano: Some very Morphine-like bass there!
	11:46pm chad from oregon: Goodness gracious, Jesus Jones
	11:48pm Michael 98145: Lovin this ... still light here on the left coast. Gawd, i love summer.
	11:52pm Stevel: Catching the end, which is terrific! Definitely catching the rest tomorrow on the archives.
	11:57pm mariano: Thanks efd, nice hanging out with everyone!
	11:58pm herb.nyc: (I did Male Gaze in Provincetown)
	12:01am coelacanth: Thanks Evan! (belated)
