	9:08pm efd: oh I'm beyond ready.

	9:24pm Kat in Chicago: Rad guest!
	9:25pm melinda: hi all
	9:26pm melinda: What a great story! I liked Heat of the Moment too.
	9:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yeah...Night Flight. Including Doug and the Slugs.
	9:29pm JakeGould: Night Flight was amazing!
	9:30pm Kat in Chicago: Shame, Shame, Shame indeed!
	9:31pm Stevel: Jake: You took the the words right out of my mouth. Saw stuff on that that still blows my mind.
	9:31pm Loretta: hi Evan!!
	9:31pm P-90: Quote of the week: "Nixon moved units"
	9:32pm Fuzzy: George McRae musta been doing her wrong!
	9:33pm Figgsrock: EFD, tell David that he should tweet the next time he's going to do karaoke again at the Carriage Inn. His Going Deep viewing party there was such fun.
	9:34pm marly: Shame! Singing it loud
	9:35pm Mark the Sardine: Cool to hear David Rees on the show. He keeps popping up with interesting projects (GYWO, pencils, now the podcast). Helpful background - www.thedailybeast.com...
	9:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: Pledge til yer pledger smarts.
	9:38pm JakeGould: Please pledge people. It}s Yom Kippur for God’s sake. pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:40pm Ignore Function: I enjoyed David on the Baffler blog during the debate.
	9:48pm Cheri Pi: EFD!!!!!
	9:48pm Mark the Sardine: At first I thought he said "it's my gin music"
	9:49pm Figgsrock: EFD is not an amateur!
	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: I LOVED My New Fighting Technique Is Unstoppable
	9:50pm P-90: You can't have too many Shirleys Well, maybe
	9:52pm Kat in Chicago: Those were darned good Shirleys
	9:52pm Mark the Sardine: This page tracks the online availability of Going Deep (nothing now, unfortunately): www.canistream.it...
	9:59pm P-90: A tad Fleetwood Mac influence here?
	10:01pm Shelagh: <3 you, David Rees. I saw you with John Hodgman in Hartford & think of you every time I make a paper airplane. Pick something out for me to listen to.
	10:01pm JakeGould: Sounds a bit like REO Speedwagon to me.
	10:09pm Cheri Pi: I got to keep on mooooooovin
	10:21pm Kat in Chicago: I think that was the year I lived in Chapel Hill. I remember all those bands, or at least all those band names. Yay Metal Flake Mother!
	10:24pm Kat in Chicago: Weird year that was. Fled Chicago when everything in my life went to crap at once. Lived in a house in Carrboro infested with camelback crickets, washed dishes at a diner and went to the Cradle three or four nights a week. Met someone there and moved to New York with that person a year later.
	10:24pm brian: Tempted to call in... but how to just casually chat with two of the most supremely cool dudes of cooldom... Better to just let them do their own talk and spin the tunes.
	10:24pm Shelagh: Definitely reminds me of Archers of Loaf, like Web in Front?
	10:25pm brian: See, I'm so rattled I didn't even log in before commenting.
	10:26pm Kat in Chicago: @Shelagh Web In Front is still one of my favorite 7"s. That was a big "hit" the year I was there.
	10:27pm Kat in Chicago: @brian That is an awful lot of cool dudeness in one studio there. But call in anyway, I'd say.
	10:27pm chris_in_space: What a great show tonight. Good tunes, cool on-mic vibes. Didn't realize that David was the same guy I heard on the CBC a couple years ago, as the artisanal pencil sharpener, and back then I didn't realize he was the same guy who penned Get Your War On/Filing technique. It's all coming together now, as one of my favourite singles by Polvo plays on.
	10:29pm Shelagh: @Kat I wasn't there; I was in CT in the early 90s, but had a friends who introduced me to them much later. But he had great taste in music!
	10:29pm Kat in Chicago: I didn't put all that together at first either! I remember the artisanal pencil sharpener interview.
	10:30pm efd: hey everyone! Great to see all the comments, and glad you're enjoying the show! Please allow me to remind you it's Silent Fundraiser time here at WFMU - we're hoping to raise some $$$ to help offset the impending departure of JM in the AM, so please pledge what you can: pledge.wfmu.org... thank you!
	10:32pm Kat in Chicago: Haha, I should mention that two of my co-dishwashers were Jimbo Mathus (then of Metal Flake Mother, Squirrel Nut Zippers were just getting started when I left) and Eric Bachmann. Super nice guys, both of them.
	10:34pm Kat in Chicago: Also, what EFD said.
	10:34pm Shelagh: What?!? That's amazing. I love everything he does. I saw him with Neko Case this spring.
	10:34pm herb.nyc: vg music, nice talking too. I've seen david rees do pencil thing at BandN (I gave a ny transit pencil to someone to give to him; there's a pencil store just blocks from me!) and a talk at Housingworks where his "bayonet " umbrella was mentioned. Love his Get Yr War On. Oh, DHall turned 70 this week.
	10:35pm Kat in Chicago: I'm really glad he's done so well.
	10:36pm Shelagh: I think Crooked Finger speaks to me more than Archers of Loaf. Seriously just gets me in the gut.
	10:36pm Faye: I LOVE HALL & OATES
	10:49pm herb.nyc: THis Coffinworms song is nuts, but too long
	10:49pm brian: The Coffinworm stilled the fingers of the EFD comment board.
	10:50pm Shelagh: Now I'm definitely having high school dance flashbacks.
	10:56pm herb.nyc: Right Brian; my cat urged me to post
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago: Coffinworm into Shannon was quite a segue
	10:59pm efd: They don't call him Kid Midas for nothing!
	10:59pm Shelagh: FYI, corrected donation link. pledge.wfmu.org...
	11:01pm efd: agggh, thanks Shelagh! I went back and edited my comment, thank you for pointing that out.
	11:03pm Shelagh: No worries! Just want to make sure people can find it!
	11:03pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Lots of comments, lots of music. Even the old man Daryll Hohl.
	11:05pm herb.nyc: At start of song, I thought it was Dust. ---Oh Nachum, come back. All is forgiven. (True story: 2 yrs ago I was walking in lower east side w my Moses orange wfmu tee on. Man in car sees me, yells "hey you, you, where'd you get that shirt?" We talk; it was Nachum! He took a pic)
	11:12pm brian: Josh Marshall TPM and EFD Radio!!!!
	11:12pm Carmichael: I saw a Doug and the Slugs reference in the comments. Awesome!
	11:14pm brian: If people do not know this use of Hall and Oates "Gino the Manager"... This is episode 8 of the Yacht Rock series... This EFD show is too good to leave, but watch this in 45 mins: www.youtube.com...
	11:18pm Tome: yea !!!!!
	11:20pm Carmichael: The whole Yacht Rock series is great. That's where I first heard about "smooth" rock.
	11:23pm Shelagh: Hot pastrami is definitely a new one on me.
	11:24pm brian: This song rules and I am very happy it is on Spotify.
	11:25pm Tennessee Jeb: Two thumbs up for this show!
	11:27pm brian: Just added my third Spotify song in a row and realized my last comment was pure, sweet evergreen.
	11:28pm Shelagh: That David Rogers song was fantastic. I kept wanting to turning it into a cover by The Band.
	11:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Just add the obligatory laugh track and we'll have the new WFMU morning show right here. EFD and David in the AM Mahem Show!
	11:31pm spodiodi: great show!
	11:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Cool...Beacon and Fishkill are just down the road from me up here. Daryl Hall lives in Dutchess County, too.
	11:50pm Shelagh: Thank you for the Nina Simone. This is one of my favorites by her. She was and is timeless.
	11:59pm Bryce: Thanks for answering my question! This was a fantastic show!
	12:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, great show. Come back again some time, David.
	1:41pm Ajax: Loved the show! David Rees is 1 of a kind and also very good at music!
	9:35pm Mark from Illinois: Bert Sommer was one of the opening acts at Woodstock, and did not make the movie or albums. He had a mid-chart hit in 1970, "We're All Playing in the Same Band" which I always remembered.

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!

October 12, 2016: DAVID REES, co-host of ELECTION PROFIT MAKERS, live in studio!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

It's WEEK 2 of WFMU's October Silent Fundraiser and I've got a great show for you tonight! Entrepreneur, humorist, and television personality David Rees joins me in the WFMU studios to share some of his favorite records with you, the WFMU listener! David co-hosts the hilarious and insightful Election Profit Makers podcast about election-related prediction markets; he's also the author of How To Sharpen Pencils and hosted Going Deep With David Rees on the NatGeo and Esquire networks; in the 2000s he created the comics Get Your War On and My New Fighting [or Filing] Technique Is Unstoppable. If you like what you hear -- on this show, or anywhere on WFMU -- I hope you'll take a moment to make a pledge now.
