Listener comments!

	9:03pm efd: for playing this song
	9:04pm Figgsrock: I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!
	9:05pm JakeGould: What goes on in Utilmate Painting’s mind? I think that I am falling down.
	9:06pm Uncle Michael: Mr. Reynolds, are you fond of the Needy Sons? Oh, Hi Evan...
	9:08pm Uncle Michael: My favorite John Stewart song is Lost Her in the Sun (a.k.a. Lobster in the Sun).
	9:08pm Figgsrock: @Uncle Michael, indeed I am.
	9:12pm Uncle Michael: Me too. I think Joe Belock is leading the way playing their record on FMU.
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: You Skype with aplomb, Evan.
	9:28pm efd: i had a knot the size of aplomb in my stomach hoping that would work!
	9:30pm Julie M Brooklyn: That's weird. I was just thinking of The The, and now here's a cover. Was it because of Ultimate Painting? Is that why I like Ultimate Painting?
	9:30pm P: Oh No!!! I'm against Uncertain Smile being covered.
	9:32pm efd: Hi Julie! I can't even explain how my own mind works, don't ask me to get started with yours! :) P, your objection is overruled!
	9:35pm common: gary!
	9:36pm Uncle Michael: Hello Numan.
	9:36pm Julie M Brooklyn: P, I agree it's a weird cover, I first heard Bowie vocally, and then.... Peter Frampton???? But it's a great song. Evan, you are already started, for sure. And now here you go with Gary Numan. Good night for me to tune in. Is it too much to ask for..... you know who. Everybody knows how good Cale is for you.
	9:37pm Uncle Michael: Hey, EFD...MLB got the CBA done!
	9:38pm JakeGould: @EFD: That sounded great. So hey.
	9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's an okay cover. Always great to not hear 'Cars'. Again. Man what a fun set - so glad for this program.
	9:42pm Listener Julian: Holy cow this song is phenomenal and I've never heard it before!
	9:45pm Erella: LOVE the Exploders! Thank you
	9:45pm Listener Julian: HKers look truly unwholesome in their press photos
	9:49pm P: Lol. I heard Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay by Michael Bolton before the original.
	9:51pm Uncle Michael: I heard Magic Bus by the Who before I heard the original.
	9:52pm Dan from Toronto: Waving hello from Canada; sounding great, Mr Davies
	9:54pm Uncle Michael: Kale!
	9:54pm Julie M Brooklyn: YAY! Thank you thank you thank you, Evan!
	9:56pm Dan from Toronto: Whoa, the ever elusive rock piccolo trumpet solo
	9:57pm Erella: Wow!! I love Hidden Cameras too. Just saw them live. Yay!
	9:58pm Mike Sin: Great show, Evan! I'm actually listening online tonight, upright and functioning (instead of to the broadcast signal while drunk, on the floor, and in the dark).
	9:58pm Uncle Michael: Oh hell...what '70s soft rock hit does this sound like?
	9:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: I was playing that very same game! It'll come to one of us...
	9:59pm melinda: good evening!
	9:59pm Uncle Michael: Driving me nuts.
	10:00pm Bilbo: Holy jeez, that Dead or Alive track is for real.
	10:00pm Loretta: hi Evan.... great show tonight!
	10:00pm efd: right there with you, Gaylord and UM
	10:01pm Gaylord Fields: "When You're in Love With a Beautiful Woman," by Dr. Hook, perhaps?
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: Nope...something else.
	10:02pm common: yes
	10:02pm efd: also a little Albert Hammond-y
	10:02pm Gaylord Fields: I think it is. Or at least some of it is.
	10:02pm common: that yes was about fly ashtray
	10:05pm Uncle Michael: Starbuck - "Everybody Be Dancin'"
	10:05pm Scraps deSelby: h'lo hi ooh fly ashtray
	10:05pm Fuzzy: Stumblin' In -- Suzi Quatro
	10:06pm Fuzzy: Or "It Never Rains In Southern California"
	10:06pm Uncle Michael: Well, I remembered the one it sounds like to me.
	10:06pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael @Fuzzy: Yes, and yes.
	10:06pm Gaylord Fields: I think it's all the songs we suggested.
	10:07pm Scraps deSelby: ah, stumblin' in: Chapman and Chinn!
	10:13pm Scraps: mix tape for Chapman and Chinn: Little Willy, Living Next Door to Alice, Ballroom Blitz, Tiger Feet, Kiss You All Over... so much slick
	10:13pm efd: @Fuzzy, "It Never Rains..." was my thought as well (hence my Albert Hammond comment earlier)
	10:15pm ScottC: Whoa! Whoa! Hurt my neck!
	10:16pm efd: Chapman & Chinn were great, but I still haven't forgiven Mike Chapman for ruining Nervus Rex.
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: I hate myself for thinking I was too cool for AC/DC when I was young. I was such a dumbass.
	10:18pm Scraps: but i love "The God Sheila". When I wrote some essays about individual song, that Nervus Rex song was the first one.
	10:20pm Scraps: and i never saw Nervus Rex, so i didn't know the ruination Chapman put them on. i know people said that, though
	10:20pm efd: oh, their songs were still great but I hated the way their LP turned out after having seen them live a bunch of times. And I'm a Chapman/Chinn fan, too, I just didn't think it worked in that case.
	10:20pm Scraps: i gotcha
	10:20pm efd: sorry if that came across as snobby ("I saw them when...!", not my intent!
	10:21pm Scraps: the guy who wrote that wrote me and he din't like Chapman either. :-)
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: I saw a Canadian band in about '81 or '82 called Boys Brigade. They killed. Then Geddy Lee produced their album...
	10:25pm JakeGould: Wow! This Douglas Holmquist track is killer. douglasholmquist.bandcamp.com...
	10:25pm Scraps: Ha! i just googled "nervus rex" and "the god sheila", and my essay (ten years ago) is 4th.
	10:26pm efd: ohh i am going to read that later! So wait, Shaun Brighton wrote to you after you wrote the essay?
	10:27pm Scraps: or 5th, dpending on whether you count the youtube link
	10:27pm Scraps: yep!
	10:27pm Scraps: i was surprised!
	10:28pm JakeGould: And I humbly admit that EFD posted that Douglas Holmquist link anyway, so hey…
	10:28pm Uncle Michael: Jerome Brailey drumming on Dear Prudence, mebbe?
	10:29pm Redbranch: I am so in love with the bass line on this Dear Prudence cover! Play it again!
	10:31pm Scraps: that compilation, at least the ones FMU people played, is pretty great
	10:33pm Scraps: Oh, I forgot: Lauren Agnelli also wrote me. Gosh!
	10:36pm efd: wow, that's awesome Scraps!
	10:37pm coelacanth: is there a disc 2 to that "black america sings the beatles" comp? - because "disc 1" does not have Wilson Pickett's hey jude, but i can't find a "disc 2". ...they wouldn't consider not putting it on there, would they?!
	10:38pm Julie M Brooklyn: Now I hear The The again with this Dark Blue.
	10:39pm efd: nope, no disc 2. Maybe there will be a part 2 release later... and/or maybe that wasn't licenseable.
	10:39pm Bilbo: This Dark Blue somewhat reminiscent of Suede.
	10:39pm efd: yes, I was just thinking that too Julie!
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: That comp concept has been done numerous times before. The Wilson Picket was on this one: www.discogs.com...
	10:42pm coelacanth: amazon says:"disc 1" and the label site says:"side 1", so -maybe there's another volume coming. ...i'm hugely into the beatles (though much more discerning than i once was) and that "hey jude" is easily better than the original - or any other. that's a big thing for me!
	10:45pm coelacanth: ah i see, Uncle M. well at least the new one includes the exquisite musical stylings of Sir George Harrison.
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: Ace even did it before, themselves...sans George: www.discogs.com...
	10:48pm coelacanth: damned if i don't want to possess every one of em.
	10:50pm Stevel: What a set! Tuff Darts!
	10:50pm Scraps: i've heard enough hey jude (though i'm also, like coelanthe, hugely into the beatles), but i admire the looooooooooooong coda. if it wasn't the beatles, the record company would have cut three minutes out of it.
	10:52pm Scraps: (i mean, before releasing it as a single)
	10:55pm Scraps: tuff darts is sometimes labeled a new wave band, for the new york late 70s they came out of. but they are strictly a power pop band to me
	10:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps: As a young Beatlemaniac, I didn't really get "Hey Jude" and considered it one of my least favorite Fab Four songs. I've since matured enough to savor its majesty. (And because I avoided it strenuously when I was younger, it hasn't worn out its welcome now that I love it.)
	10:55pm coelacanth: hey jude is one of the few songs that i always skip when i listen to a beatles album; but still i cannot deny that it was a pop masterpiece at the time.
	10:56pm P: I'm thinking of a whole show with The The inspired tunes!
	10:57pm Scraps: i never skip Hey Jude if it's played, but i never search it out. :-)
	10:57pm coelacanth: well yeah, if i hadn't already heard it 2-3 hundred X i might let it play now and then!
	10:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: I like the sound of Magic Trick there.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: I go sleep now. Rock on, Funketeers.
	11:01pm coelacanth: i rarely seek out any particular beatles song. it's more like "i need therapy. i'm going to listen to lots of beatles for a few days." and i nearly always listen to albums - usually skipping several of the Paul songs and all of the Ringo songs!
	11:05pm Scraps: you probably like several paul songs less that i. i really like "hello goodbye", for instance. nobody like song that as much as i do....
	11:08pm Scraps: maybe that was what you were saying when you said I liked Light and you like Dark more. :-)
	11:09pm Scraps: i like this Powell band. somewhat like Spoon, only higher vocals
	11:13pm coelacanth: that's what i meant, Scraps! when i was little i LOVED that song and magical mystery tour - with all those melodic pop songs, was my favorite album. i still usually let hello goodbye play. it's a Great song! - but i don't often play that album.
	11:15pm Fuzzy: stumble you will fall
	11:16pm Fuzzy: It is! Never knew they sampled this!
	11:16pm Fuzzy: I love 'FMU -- I learn so many things!
	11:18pm efd: @Fuzzy happy to provide you that same moment of delight that I experienced when I found that out too!
	11:19pm Fuzzy: Thanks, efd!
	11:19pm Scraps: i still have not outgrown hooks. ;-)
	11:20pm Julie M Brooklyn: Alright, I'm reading your mind right now, efd, or at least I think I am, for the next song. Cuz otherwise, I, like Uncle Michael, need go sleep now.
	11:21pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yah, Mon!
	11:21pm Scraps: that's my favorite bowie song.
	11:21pm Scraps: really really
	11:22pm Fuzzy: So many great ones, I can't pick a favorite.
	11:22pm Scraps: sordid details following: just awesome
	11:22pm coelacanth: rest in peace.
	11:23pm coelacanth: but, if you absolutely HAD to...?
	11:25pm coelacanth: i generally don't have favorites - of anything...but if i HAD to...maybe the man who sold the world...or heroes...
	11:26pm JakeGould: Hairy and the Harrisons.
	11:26pm Fuzzy: Man, tough question...still thinking...
	11:26pm Scraps: 2. D.J. 3 Young Americans
	11:27pm Fuzzy: Favorite Tommy Roe is easier ("Dizzy")
	11:28pm Scraps: oh, wait: 3 TVC15
	11:28pm efd: Don't sleep on "Money Is My Pay"
	11:28pm Scraps: ;-) i'll stop
	11:28pm coelacanth: haha! okay then - "draggin' the line"
	11:29pm efd: buzzer sound sorry, "Draggin' The Line" is Tommy James, not Roe.
	11:30pm coelacanth: sorry Scraps - 'got distracted! yeah, TVC15 is Great.
	11:30pm Fuzzy: I'm going to go with "Rebel Rebel" for forced Bowie favorite.
	11:31pm coelacanth: Oh! you're right! that's why i like it so much! (no offense to Tommy Roe)
	11:31pm Gaylord Fields: @Fuzzy: "Dizzy" is second to my top pick, "It's Now Winter's Day" for me. "Jam Up, Jelly Tight" would be my third place.
	11:32pm Scraps: Tommy James should be in the r&r hall of fame (if it matters, which it don't)
	11:33pm Fuzzy: @Gaylord: "Sweet Pea" is my second TR pick. "Hanky Panky" is my favorite TJ because it's fun and easy to play on the guitar.
	11:34pm coelacanth: i guess i know very little Tommy Roe...but i'll go with jam up jelly tight. (out of maybe 4-5 TR songs i know?)
	11:34pm efd: "Jam Up, Jelly Tight" is a very strong pick.
	11:35pm Bilbo: This Shana Falana track is freakin' rad.
	11:36pm coelacanth: it would've been much easier if draggin' the line was Tommy Roe. the Tommy James catalogue has some gems in my world..."sweet cherry wine" being way up there.
	11:36pm Gaylord Fields: Tommy Roe and Tommy James (and David Bowie, for that matter) made really good records in a variety of styles, with no drop in quality.
	11:41pm coelacanth: - and Tommy James composed "tighter, tighter", though the alive n kickin' version is the definitive one. .....i guess i should brush up on my Tommy Roe. i never considered he did anything but bubblegum.
	11:43pm Scraps: janis ian was/is still great.
	11:44pm Scraps: or, at least really good.
	11:46pm Scraps: oh man.... scott miller.
	11:47pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth: Tommy Roe's "It's Now Winter's Day" and "Phantasy" LP's are lite-psych pop with sunshine-ish leanings. "Winter's Day" is the more cohesive statement and a good place to start for non-bubblegum Roe.
	11:48pm Scraps: i can't believe he killed himself. (scott miller.) he still had it. man.
	11:48pm Scraps: and his writing was great.
	11:50pm coelacanth: Thanks Gaylord. i really appreciate that.
	11:51pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth: My pleasure.
	11:55pm Ignore Function: Good show tonight, EFD.
	11:57pm Scraps: thank you.
	11:59pm P-90: Thanks, efd!
	12:00am coelacanth: Thanks Evan! good night all.
	3:15pm absolutely harvey oswald: that first ultimate painting song -- central park blues -- strikes a like a sweeter velvet's 'what goes on' in all the best possible ways, i mean. in other words, i've showed up hours and hours later to add what jakegould nailed in real time. fantastic song, fantastic (really) show, efd.

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!

	10:06pm Gaylord Fields: I think it's all the songs we suggested.
	10:07pm Scraps deSelby: ah, stumblin' in: Chapman and Chinn!
	10:13pm Scraps: mix tape for Chapman and Chinn: Little Willy, Living Next Door to Alice, Ballroom Blitz, Tiger Feet, Kiss You All Over... so much slick
	10:13pm efd: @Fuzzy, "It Never Rains..." was my thought as well (hence my Albert Hammond comment earlier)
	10:15pm ScottC: Whoa! Whoa! Hurt my neck!
	10:16pm efd: Chapman & Chinn were great, but I still haven't forgiven Mike Chapman for ruining Nervus Rex.
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: I hate myself for thinking I was too cool for AC/DC when I was young. I was such a dumbass.
	10:18pm Scraps: but i love "The God Sheila". When I wrote some essays about individual song, that Nervus Rex song was the first one.
	10:20pm Scraps: and i never saw Nervus Rex, so i didn't know the ruination Chapman put them on. i know people said that, though
	10:20pm efd: oh, their songs were still great but I hated the way their LP turned out after having seen them live a bunch of times. And I'm a Chapman/Chinn fan, too, I just didn't think it worked in that case.
	10:20pm Scraps: i gotcha
	10:20pm efd: sorry if that came across as snobby ("I saw them when...!", not my intent!
	10:21pm Scraps: the guy who wrote that wrote me and he din't like Chapman either. :-)
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: I saw a Canadian band in about '81 or '82 called Boys Brigade. They killed. Then Geddy Lee produced their album...
	10:25pm JakeGould: Wow! This Douglas Holmquist track is killer. douglasholmquist.bandcamp.com...
	10:25pm Scraps: Ha! i just googled "nervus rex" and "the god sheila", and my essay (ten years ago) is 4th.
	10:26pm efd: ohh i am going to read that later! So wait, Shaun Brighton wrote to you after you wrote the essay?
	10:27pm Scraps: or 5th, dpending on whether you count the youtube link
	10:27pm Scraps: yep!
	10:27pm Scraps: i was surprised!
	10:28pm JakeGould: And I humbly admit that EFD posted that Douglas Holmquist link anyway, so hey…
	10:28pm Uncle Michael: Jerome Brailey drumming on Dear Prudence, mebbe?
	10:29pm Redbranch: I am so in love with the bass line on this Dear Prudence cover! Play it again!
	10:31pm Scraps: that compilation, at least the ones FMU people played, is pretty great
	10:33pm Scraps: Oh, I forgot: Lauren Agnelli also wrote me. Gosh!
	10:36pm efd: wow, that's awesome Scraps!
	10:37pm coelacanth: is there a disc 2 to that "black america sings the beatles" comp? - because "disc 1" does not have Wilson Pickett's hey jude, but i can't find a "disc 2". ...they wouldn't consider not putting it on there, would they?!
	10:38pm Julie M Brooklyn: Now I hear The The again with this Dark Blue.
	10:39pm efd: nope, no disc 2. Maybe there will be a part 2 release later... and/or maybe that wasn't licenseable.
	10:39pm Bilbo: This Dark Blue somewhat reminiscent of Suede.
	10:39pm efd: yes, I was just thinking that too Julie!
	10:40pm Uncle Michael: That comp concept has been done numerous times before. The Wilson Picket was on this one: www.discogs.com...
	10:42pm coelacanth: amazon says:"disc 1" and the label site says:"side 1", so -maybe there's another volume coming. ...i'm hugely into the beatles (though much more discerning than i once was) and that "hey jude" is easily better than the original - or any other. that's a big thing for me!
	10:45pm coelacanth: ah i see, Uncle M. well at least the new one includes the exquisite musical stylings of Sir George Harrison.
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: Ace even did it before, themselves...sans George: www.discogs.com...
	10:48pm coelacanth: damned if i don't want to possess every one of em.
	10:50pm Stevel: What a set! Tuff Darts!
	10:50pm Scraps: i've heard enough hey jude (though i'm also, like coelanthe, hugely into the beatles), but i admire the looooooooooooong coda. if it wasn't the beatles, the record company would have cut three minutes out of it.
	10:52pm Scraps: (i mean, before releasing it as a single)
	10:55pm Scraps: tuff darts is sometimes labeled a new wave band, for the new york late 70s they came out of. but they are strictly a power pop band to me
	10:55pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps: As a young Beatlemaniac, I didn't really get "Hey Jude" and considered it one of my least favorite Fab Four songs. I've since matured enough to savor its majesty. (And because I avoided it strenuously when I was younger, it hasn't worn out its welcome now that I love it.)
	10:55pm coelacanth: hey jude is one of the few songs that i always skip when i listen to a beatles album; but still i cannot deny that it was a pop masterpiece at the time.
	10:56pm P: I'm thinking of a whole show with The The inspired tunes!
	10:57pm Scraps: i never skip Hey Jude if it's played, but i never search it out. :-)
	10:57pm coelacanth: well yeah, if i hadn't already heard it 2-3 hundred X i might let it play now and then!
	10:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: I like the sound of Magic Trick there.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: I go sleep now. Rock on, Funketeers.
	11:01pm coelacanth: i rarely seek out any particular beatles song. it's more like "i need therapy. i'm going to listen to lots of beatles for a few days." and i nearly always listen to albums - usually skipping several of the Paul songs and all of the Ringo songs!
	11:05pm Scraps: you probably like several paul songs less that i. i really like "hello goodbye", for instance. nobody like song that as much as i do....
	11:08pm Scraps: maybe that was what you were saying when you said I liked Light and you like Dark more. :-)
	11:09pm Scraps: i like this Powell band. somewhat like Spoon, only higher vocals
	11:13pm coelacanth: that's what i meant, Scraps! when i was little i LOVED that song and magical mystery tour - with all those melodic pop songs, was my favorite album. i still usually let hello goodbye play. it's a Great song! - but i don't often play that album.
	11:15pm Fuzzy: stumble you will fall
	11:16pm Fuzzy: It is! Never knew they sampled this!
	11:16pm Fuzzy: I love 'FMU -- I learn so many things!
	11:18pm efd: @Fuzzy happy to provide you that same moment of delight that I experienced when I found that out too!
	11:19pm Fuzzy: Thanks, efd!
	11:19pm Scraps: i still have not outgrown hooks. ;-)
	11:20pm Julie M Brooklyn: Alright, I'm reading your mind right now, efd, or at least I think I am, for the next song. Cuz otherwise, I, like Uncle Michael, need go sleep now.
	11:21pm Julie M Brooklyn: Yah, Mon!
	11:21pm Scraps: that's my favorite bowie song.
	11:21pm Scraps: really really
	11:22pm Fuzzy: So many great ones, I can't pick a favorite.
	11:22pm Scraps: sordid details following: just awesome
	11:22pm coelacanth: rest in peace.
	11:23pm coelacanth: but, if you absolutely HAD to...?
	11:25pm coelacanth: i generally don't have favorites - of anything...but if i HAD to...maybe the man who sold the world...or heroes...
	11:26pm JakeGould: Hairy and the Harrisons.
	11:26pm Fuzzy: Man, tough question...still thinking...
	11:26pm Scraps: 2. D.J. 3 Young Americans
	11:27pm Fuzzy: Favorite Tommy Roe is easier ("Dizzy")
	11:28pm Scraps: oh, wait: 3 TVC15
	11:28pm efd: Don't sleep on "Money Is My Pay"
	11:28pm Scraps: ;-) i'll stop
	11:28pm coelacanth: haha! okay then - "draggin' the line"
	11:29pm efd: buzzer sound sorry, "Draggin' The Line" is Tommy James, not Roe.
	11:30pm coelacanth: sorry Scraps - 'got distracted! yeah, TVC15 is Great.
	11:30pm Fuzzy: I'm going to go with "Rebel Rebel" for forced Bowie favorite.
	11:31pm coelacanth: Oh! you're right! that's why i like it so much! (no offense to Tommy Roe)
	11:31pm Gaylord Fields: @Fuzzy: "Dizzy" is second to my top pick, "It's Now Winter's Day" for me. "Jam Up, Jelly Tight" would be my third place.
	11:32pm Scraps: Tommy James should be in the r&r hall of fame (if it matters, which it don't)
	11:33pm Fuzzy: @Gaylord: "Sweet Pea" is my second TR pick. "Hanky Panky" is my favorite TJ because it's fun and easy to play on the guitar.
	11:34pm coelacanth: i guess i know very little Tommy Roe...but i'll go with jam up jelly tight. (out of maybe 4-5 TR songs i know?)
	11:34pm efd: "Jam Up, Jelly Tight" is a very strong pick.
	11:35pm Bilbo: This Shana Falana track is freakin' rad.
	11:36pm coelacanth: it would've been much easier if draggin' the line was Tommy Roe. the Tommy James catalogue has some gems in my world..."sweet cherry wine" being way up there.
	11:36pm Gaylord Fields: Tommy Roe and Tommy James (and David Bowie, for that matter) made really good records in a variety of styles, with no drop in quality.
	11:41pm coelacanth: - and Tommy James composed "tighter, tighter", though the alive n kickin' version is the definitive one. .....i guess i should brush up on my Tommy Roe. i never considered he did anything but bubblegum.
	11:43pm Scraps: janis ian was/is still great.
	11:44pm Scraps: or, at least really good.
	11:46pm Scraps: oh man.... scott miller.
	11:47pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth: Tommy Roe's "It's Now Winter's Day" and "Phantasy" LP's are lite-psych pop with sunshine-ish leanings. "Winter's Day" is the more cohesive statement and a good place to start for non-bubblegum Roe.
	11:48pm Scraps: i can't believe he killed himself. (scott miller.) he still had it. man.
	11:48pm Scraps: and his writing was great.
	11:50pm coelacanth: Thanks Gaylord. i really appreciate that.
	11:51pm Gaylord Fields: @coelacanth: My pleasure.
	11:55pm Ignore Function: Good show tonight, EFD.
	11:57pm Scraps: thank you.
	11:59pm P-90: Thanks, efd!
	12:00am coelacanth: Thanks Evan! good night all.
	3:15pm absolutely harvey oswald: that first ultimate painting song -- central park blues -- strikes a like a sweeter velvet's 'what goes on' in all the best possible ways, i mean. in other words, i've showed up hours and hours later to add what jakegould nailed in real time. fantastic song, fantastic (really) show, efd.
