Listener comments!
	9:03pm JakeGould: Hey Evan!
	9:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Holy man! Forgot about Paper Lace, the band from "Billy Don't Be a Hero" and "The Night Chicago Died."
	9:09pm efd: hey Jake, hey Ken! Yup, that Paper Lace!
	9:13pm JakeGould: Fun “Paper Lace” trivia from my life. First 45 single I ever bought in my life as a kid when I was like 7 or 8 years old? “The Night Chicago Died.” Bought it from some teen gal who was having a yard-isa sale in front of her building in Brooklyn. And what building was that? drumroll Trump Village! The housing project that our new President’s dad built in deep Brooklyn. That is all.
	9:16pm Will: I dug the Swingin Madisons, saw them play live back then.
	9:19pm melinda: hello efd and folks
	9:23pm efd: hi melinda & Will! ditto on Swinging Madisons from me.
	9:26pm Listener Julian: That last song was killer. I gotta go back and listen to that live set.
	9:31pm ice in Bklyn: Yo EFD! Listening in with my oz mate and was like 'this is bliss n esso' Right?
	9:37pm ToP TRUMPS!!: Does this Evan ever shut up? What an annoying voice
	9:37pm ToP TRUMPS!!: oh, there we go
	9:38pm efd: @ice, not sure who bliss n esso are...?
	9:40pm herb.nyc: On Joe Belock's recent show, he and Todd Abramson and Ira Kaplan spoke lovingly of Billy Miller. I no recall which of latter 2 said this- "they treated their business of Norton Records like a fanzine". Aww.
	9:49pm efd: I missed that show, unfortunately. Gonna have to check the archive.
	9:50pm JakeGould: @EFD: They seem to be a hip hop band from Australia, so maybe @ice is referring to that “Lordz of Brooklyn” bed music. And oh… Mr. Kave of said band has just opened a bar/pizza/art space a few blocks away from me in Bay Ridge. Small world!
	9:52pm herb.nyc: So jake, what's that Billy Miller nytimes obit link again?
	9:53pm Power Papi: www.nytimes.com...
	9:55pm herb.nyc: Thanks jake!
	9:56pm JakeGould: That wasn’t me. Thanks Power Papi!

	10:09pm SeanG: those 25th anniversary shows for Norton Records in 2011 were EPIC!
	10:09pm Chop Scott: Thanks EFD--you always make me feel better.
	10:10pm ice in Bklyn: Really good set! I know I've heard you tell who does your theme song, but.. do tell again please!
	10:17pm efd: @ice, it's by The Lordz Of Brooklyn - the song is called "Saturday Night," from the early '90s.
	10:17pm efd: @Chop Scott, that's nice of you to say - thank you.
	10:19pm Barkevious Shabazz: The outro of that Omni record was gloriously 80-81. Top notch.
	10:28pm efd: I've been overlooking that Omni album, for no good reason. It's good.
	10:33pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Ultimate Painting record kinda flew by me, but that track was real good too.
	10:38pm melinda: nice to hear the airhorn again
	10:39pm coelacanth: greetings efd & funkettes
	10:42pm herb.nyc: I read this fb thing by rock writer Gina Arnold- she was in Pixies dressing room and talking about the Legendary Stardust Cowboy w someone. 15" later she realizes she's talking w Bowie!!! ---- Eyelids and Terry Malts really good, and terrific Billy Miller related set
	10:47pm chris_in_space: I miss Laura Cantrell's show on the Saturday afternoon FMU airwaves.
	10:47pm herb.nyc: (1) is this a Laura C written song? So lovely. (2) did Laura open for Elvis C at NJPAC in Newark? I was there, bad memory.
	10:52pm herb.nyc: Is Atmosphere covering a Laura C song????? I think she sang this at Monty Hall, w Michael Shelley opening, earlier this year. Maybe FMA has it.
	10:54pm Howard F: Good evening, always a pleasure to come home to the EFD show!
	10:57pm efd: thanks Howard, always a pleasure to have you listening! @herb, that Laura C song was not written by her, but she pretty much makes it her own as far as I'm concerned. And the Atmosphere song was an Atmosphere song.
	11:00pm ice in Bklyn: EFD thanx for reminding me. I find myself singing it variously thru the week
	11:08pm herb.nyc: Thanks Mr Ed Funk Davies. And thanks again, Jake.
	11:08pm ice in Bklyn: By the way, the Rhys Chatham show last week was Amazing! I couldn't go to the Oneida + RC show over the weekend at the church, but I heard it was exceptional!
	11:09pm ice in Bklyn: Exceptional if you're in to musical cults from Boston, that is.. Anyway, thx a lot for those tix last week..
	11:13pm herb.nyc: Spk'ng of shows, I may see Ani DiFranco and comic Lizzie Winstead this w'end, at the ethical ctr. I expect Trump jokes, tho he has the last laugh. Alas.
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Drumpf hasn't even begun this. You can't say that yet! ...Major Stars bringing it...
	11:18pm efd: @ice, glad you enjoyed that show!
	11:20pm herb.nyc: Ain't it great to win tix from Evan, ice in B? I won New P and Stamey/Holsapple in the past. Thx Evan and wfmu, another reason we should support this station. (Who tuned into 7SD and Andy was giving away $100? Great show)
	11:20pm melinda: Thanks for the tunes, Ed. Goodnight!
	11:30pm efd: thanks for listening melinda!

	11:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Bloody Muse. Love 'em.
	11:37pm efd: @Stevel I can neither confirm nor rebuke your opinion. @Lonius, happy to have you listening, live or otherwise! (you know what I mean)
	11:43pm northguineahills: gotta go, thanks efd!
	11:46pm ice in Bklyn: @herb yes, support it. (The show was two weeks ago but seemed like last week!) That was a good moody blues cut. Takes me back!

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!
