Listener comments!
	9:04pm Stevel: Hammersmith is somewhat danceable, in a disco sort of way. Producer? Let's geek out!!!
	9:08pm efd: hey Stevel! That Hammersmith record was produced by the band's lead guitarist Dan Lowe.
	9:09pm Stevel: It definitely had a beat, as does this set! I'd say disco night still echoes in your soul.
	9:11pm efd: Always!
	9:12pm Figgsrock: did you know that Cozi is showing Avengers reruns on weekends?
	9:15pm JakeGould: Oh Duffo. You are trying so hard.
	9:15pm efd: I did not! Is Cozi like MeTV or Antenna?
	9:16pm Figgsrock: It is! It's one of the WNBC digital channels. 4.2 I think. The reruns are at like 1am on sat and Sun nights.
	9:18pm Figgsrock: Holy crap. Off the Record? I played the vinyl that show for one week in one of my P/T on air jobs.
	9:18pm efd: yeah, I blew it though! I cued up side four instead of side one!
	9:20pm Figgsrock: Oh no! Is there an easy point to fade it out?
	9:24pm efd: ehh, kind of. ;)
	9:24pm Stevel: These are the times that try a DJ's soul...
	9:25pm Stevel: Hail, master!
	9:26pm Figgsrock: That worked. I suppose you could have chopped the end of Zero, but that would be a crime. If that's from 1989, it must have been made when Driven Out was a big rock hit.
	9:26pm efd: Figgs, I've got the WW One Satellite Delivery Schedule for the week of April 24 1989 here if you have any questions.
	9:26pm johnk77: the fixx were great live in 1983 also seemed like down to earth lads offstage
	9:27pm efd: yeah "Driven Out" was in segment 2. :)
	9:29pm Figgsrock: EFD, that would be great. I need to know when The spots are in Power Cuts.
	9:31pm Figgsrock: Oh the fear I had the first time I had to time out to Rockline live. The credits are amazing!
	9:32pm ceedubbled: best part of the show - the 9:30ish cut to the theme song!
	9:39pm Chris M.: i love the air horn
	9:41pm Stevel: Looking... That's pretty cheesy. I fully approve.
	9:43pm herb.nyc: Yeah, Paranoid Style is real hot! Sounds like a sped up Allo Darlin.
	9:59pm melinda: I missed the air horn.
	10:05pm herb.nyc: Aside- since Evan's Nielsen ratings are so high, let's muck w them by not tuning in next week. Instead, let's see LUSH at Terminal 5 instead. And instead of paying retail, look at StubHub's very low prices. I and friends will be there (we're chumps & paid full retail). I think Evan will understand.
	10:07pm herb.nyc: Radar Eye - palindromic band name.
	10:08pm efd: oh I love a good bargain!
	10:15pm JakeGould: An educated consumer is our best customer.
	10:27pm JakeGould: Re-CD mixup: Pobody’s Nerfect!
	10:29pm efd: very true!
	10:32pm Eddy in Australia: Sorry to be a lurker but I had to chime in with a quick note on Chook Race: their name rhymes with book, not juke. it's Australian diminutive slang for a chicken. Go figure.
	10:35pm jon: hi efd. mind opening show once again. thnx
	10:35pm efd: ah! Thanks Eddy, I'm always happy to get pronunciation corrections. Resume lurking!
	10:36pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: Pffffpphht! Those tickets cost less than the 1991/1992 prices I paid to see them in NYC back in the day!
	10:52pm Stevel: Holy crud, are The Fallen Leaves good!
	10:54pm efd: yes they are!
	10:59pm herb.nyc: @JakeG- ya hafta spend $ to save $.
	11:04pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: Too bad I had to reschedule some other paid moonlighting gig to that exact night… sad etherial trombone
	11:07pm Stevel: Slow Motion Man sounds a bit Heat of the Moment.
	11:13pm Stevel: Droneabilly/tm efd
	11:29pm Figgsrock: EFD, I played the full "Midnight at the Oasis" as part of a Yacht Rock I did Sunday, and I half expected to hear your voice say "ticket" at some point.
	11:33pm Loretta: hi Evan & all listeners! missed most of the show tonight......well, to the archives!!!!! it is such a fantastic night here in south FL ~ made it hard to come back home. maybe there is a way to use my cell phone & 'blue link' to get this show in the car.. ?!?
	11:33pm efd: haha, @Figgsrock! I should have snuck in and got on the mic!
	11:34pm efd: @Loretta, if you have an iPhone or Android phone you can download the free WFMU app and (probably) listen in your car!
	11:41pm Loretta: @ Evan, that definitely sounds doable ( even for me)!LOL I have the app on a Samsung Galaxy & the rest of the info I'll get from the car manual & see if I can connect via blue tooth. Thanks Evan, now I have a plan!!!
	11:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...out of lurky to say great Thx efd...
	11:55pm efd: thanks RRN63, and thanks everyone else!
	11:56pm Carmichael: @Loretta, I do that all the time. Unlimited data and bluetooth means FMU all the time!
	11:57pm Carmichael: And heya efd!
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: My car evidently has rudimentary Bluetooth. I can make calls but cannot stream audio from the phone. Have a good week, efd and all!
	11:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: I can hook up a USB cable and play mp3 files off the phone, so there's that.

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!
