	10:24pm jmd: Cool! Thought this RB track was some old Wipers I ever heard before! Terrific!
	10:25pm Stevel: Saw Tommy Stinson last night. Playing with his ex-uncle in law (Minnesota, eh?) It was great. Last time I saw him, he was 16. He still has the fire of youth. Very nice, no-bullshit guy. Great music.
	10:27pm chris_in_space: @jmd I thought of Wipers from the first few notes of that Ragged Barracudas tune as well!
	10:28pm efd: and like the Wipers (and Hurry Up), Ragged Barracudas are from Portland!
	10:29pm efd: Nice Stevel, sounds like a cool show!
	10:32pm Ignore Function: Stevenl, I saw Tommy Stimson last week and it was as great you say. I didn't know that guy Chip used to be his brother-in-law!
	10:33pm Ignore Function: Uncle-in-law. Even stranger(cooler?).
	10:38pm Stevel: IF: Some relation of his ex wife. Great country rock guitar player. He screamed on a plastic-looking lap steel guitar. Can't easily or briefly describe it. My jaw, if not actually on the floor, was wide open.
	10:41pm dano59: I dug hurry up! They had attitude!
	10:45pm Devin B.: Aw man, missed Hurry Up. Will have to check it out the archive. Their record rules.

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!
