	9:14pm efd: omg
	9:15pm chris_in_space: @Gaylord heyy-ohhhh
	9:18pm Gaylord Fields: @chris-in-space: I didn't mean anything R-rated by that statement, just that efd plays Canadian artists like he's a '70s Toronto DJ at 4 am: www.statemaster.com...
	9:20pm P-90: ...and I'm thinking "Beaver Bin? Wasn't that a regular feature in the old Penthouse magazine...?"
	9:22pm V Priceless: Yeah Rats! Hey efd!
	9:23pm Gaylord Fields: It's not my fault that particular radio jargon sounds like the name of a stripper bar in Windsor.
	9:25pm chris_in_space: @Gaylord Cool link! I love it. And just so ya know, my "hey-ohh" was intended to sound like Ed McMahon
	9:27pm chad from oregon: I think they just changed the name of the field that the Oregon State Beavers play on from that a few years back.
	9:30pm chad from oregon: I don't follow football though.
	9:35pm Gaylord Fields: @chris_in_space: Oh, I had an inkling of what I'd stir up by casting a castor upon this crowd.
	9:38pm luke: wow that holmquist track was phenomenal
	9:41pm steve: im already hooked on Pinout since discovering it this afternoon!
	9:42pm efd: yeah, it's a cool game and an even cooler soundtrack! luke (and anyone else), you can check out more Douglas Holmquist tracks here: douglasholmquist.bandcamp.com...
	9:42pm luke: i'll have to check it out!

	9:50pm efd: @Bronwyn, please accept my apologies! :D
	9:51pm efd: Good call, smiler. Definitely not me with the high Pinout score, I have low video game aptitude in general.
	10:05pm Scraps deSelby: h'lo hi
	10:05pm jon: efd does great interviews
	10:15pm Lyle: David Bowie. I shared a stage with him back around 1981. I was playing third trombone for Jack Wagner, who was trying to parlay his TV success (General Hospital) into a music career. We opened a few shows for Bowie on his Scared Monster tour. I could tell right away he didn't like us. Fancy was the word he used. "I don't fancy them." Still, he was a gentleman and he would nod as he passed and smile. He gave us all chromium Mylar™ balloons on our final night, and a signed card with many unique personalizations. That really touched Jack. Best of all, he invited us allonstage for his encore, a rousing version of Rebel Rebel in Eb, as I recall. Jack borrowed my leather coat and he swung it over his shoulder as Elvis might have. It seemed to please David.
	10:16pm Lyle: Sorry for my typos. My fingers get so stiff with this colder weather.
	10:17pm herb.nyc: I just read a January fb post from Bob George, and how David Bowie was sooo nice at an Archive of Contemporary Music sale party. (Note- Archive has its biannual sale now, thru December 18, in TriBeCa)
	10:18pm V Priceless: Rebel Rebel in Eb? What a pain in the ass! : )

	10:26pm coelacanth: greetings efd and funkies Lyle i can't imagine Mr. Bowie not fancyin' ya.
	10:31pm V Priceless: Woodmansey's auto bio out stateside next month I believe
	10:33pm chris_in_space: yeah, cool story @Lyle
	10:34pm chris_in_space: and how about them Oh Sees? Best American band going right now? I'm thinking it might be possible.
	10:35pm efd: good to know, thanks V!
	11:01pm herb.nyc: This just came to me- a Best Show w Jon calling Tom and then saying 53rd and 3rd is about a Pottery Barn!
	11:11pm Michael from the Left Coast: the four songs on the EP with the Records first album were abracadabra, 1984 (Spirit), Rock'n' Roll Love Letter (Tim Moore/Bay City Rollers) and Have you Seen Your Mother Baby (Standing in the Shadows) (the Rolling Stones)
	11:11pm Stevel: Stealth listening tonight. Great show, per usual.
	11:12pm efd: THANK YOU Michael! I was gonna say there was a Bay City Rollers song on there but I wavered.

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!
