	9:28pm coelacanth∅: greetings efd and funkettes wish i'd heard station to station, though i guess i can just put it on when i get home. -still i'm glad you're playing Bowie almost every show.

	9:42pm JakeGould: @efd: OH MY GOD! I made a mistake on the Internet! Dammit.

	10:30pm Figgsrock: Boy, every time I hear an Eyelids song my life gets a tiny bit better.
	10:30pm Scraps: efd: you're right, and what's more, I always screw up Fly Ashtray and Uncle Wiggly, for twenty+ years. I don't know why
	10:31pm Scraps: Probably because what Glenn said....

	10:37pm Chop Scott: EFD--Listening as always! Cheers!!
	10:37pm chad from oregon: You had me at "booty tracks".
	10:41pm ice in Bklyn: Kevin Failure also has a show Thursday nite in Bushwick
	10:48pm efd: thanks ice!
	11:12pm ice in Bklyn: No prob. I'm extra excited because it's my bday and I get to go! Kevin's wfmu guest show on Russian punk is still an archive favorite.
	11:13pm ice in Bklyn: The rain is causing some fm interference tonite..
	11:14pm Scraps: Sounds okay, if post-punk is what they're supposed to sound like. If it's supposed to sound like honky-tonk or Bakersfield sound, then not.
	11:18pm ice in Bklyn: Kevin Failure show is at trans-pecos, not exactly bushwick, my bad. With Richard Papiercuts (!) and others..
	11:23pm Scraps: Richard Papiercuts: There were no results matching the query. Shoot!
	11:33pm Scraps: I like songs that start with a drum fill.
	11:34pm efd: got another one coming up!
	11:35pm efd: a pretty short one though (the fill, not the song)
	11:35pm Scraps: In fact, Track 7 reminded me (at the start) of a Sloan song, "Autobiography"
	11:35pm nixxon: Damn - I always miss the beginning of this show. One day, Evan, One day...
	11:35pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks for the reminder about Tuns, I was out of commission when the album finally came out! And the Seams vocalist has a slight Al Stewart thing going on.
	11:35pm Scraps: Yay!
	11:41pm efd: Yeah, that Tuns album is solid! I did not detect that Stewartian quality in the Seams' singer, will have to listen more closely next time.
	11:44pm northguineahills: Wow, haven't heard anything on Tempa Recs in almost 7 years!
	11:44pm ice in Bklyn: @scraps, that's because it's under dick papercuts. We can expect something unusual.
	11:45pm northguineahills: I'm pretty sure I have a record from a 90s indie band called seam, a little different from the seams....
	11:46pm Scraps: Seam was a Chapel Hill band
	11:49pm northguineahills: Thanks Scraps. Until I get my own apt again, my recs are in storage, so, I can't reference them.
	11:53pm Scraps: At least for the first album, they had Mac McCaughan and members of Velocity Girl and Bitch Magnet
	11:53pm tuner fish: excellent show
	11:54pm Scraps: They were other Seam cds, but I only have the first
	11:55pm Scraps: Thank you efd!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: indeed. -Thanks Evan. tchau
	11:56pm efd: my pleasure, Scraps & all! Thanks for listening and commenting.
	11:56pm northguineahills: Crap, it's almost midnight, time to lose consciousness. Thanks efd!

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!
