	9:09pm tomasz.: wow, nice haul. like Joe D., i, too, am keen to hear a cut from that third Boston LP
	9:09pm Bootsie: Matt Black & the Doodlebugs is also piquing my curiosity...
	9:09pm Switchblade Batman: What up @EFD how's the subway song sound?
	9:11pm peter_aitch: this is like the archetypical jam single. you could theoretically generate all other possible jam singles by permuting and combining this one. i love it!
	9:11pm Switchblade Batman: The Cambridge Stomp one sounds interesting too
	9:12pm Bootsie: Oooh, where are my roller skates?!
	9:12pm dale: \the duane train has entered the station!
	9:12pm Switchblade Batman: Oooh no wait, Buzzcocks please. That's my final answer.
	9:13pm Stevel: Oh, yeah, the disco is definitely going down! [16-year-old me is mortified]
	9:15pm efd: hey everyone! As if the InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party wasn't enough, coming up at the bottom of the hour longtime listener/commenteer Eddy from Australia is coming through with some Aussie obscurities to play for us!
	9:17pm Switchblade Batman: Nice @EFD
	9:18pm tomasz.: this is a fun lil song
	9:18pm tomasz.: very "Oliver's Army"-ish in the chorus section
	9:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, EFD and listeners! Hi, Eddie. Thanks for dropping by. Requesting Expressos with "Hey Girl."
	9:22pm john: Damn, got to love New Wave Hawkwind.

	9:22pm kimboSlice: Hello everyone
	9:23pm steve: obviously, a band called Hawklords will be awesome
	9:23pm JakeGould: PSI Power! PSI Power! PSI Power!
	9:24pm efd: next one is a request by ME, dammit! :)
	9:24pm JakeGould: “The burden of PSI power… It’s too much! Just too much for this rock and roller!”
	9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they finally got BryanFerry to take that DMT...
	9:25pm Stevel: Hey to Eddy! Looking forward to this.
	9:29pm Cooh John: Awesome show. WFMU= Where Fantastic Music is Usual! Of course I gots to vote for "There's No Surf In Cleveland" since I am from Ohiya. JakeGould, I am looking forward to next year's marathon. Can I be your wing man in the phone room?
	9:29pm JakeGould: Here’s the cover for “Lucy.” So good! www.discogs.com...
	9:30pm JakeGould: @CoohJohn: Sure! Why not?
	9:31pm JakeGould: And here’s the cover for “Don’t Go Out in the Rain.” www.discogs.com...
	9:31pm efd: more Record Fair requests to come after Eddy and his Aussie records!
	9:31pm JakeGould: And here is “PSI Power.” www.discogs.com...
	9:32pm JakeGould: I honestly just want to buy 45s for the covers nowadays.
	9:32pm Stevel: Ok, that bridge in Don't GoOut in the Rain was a bit odd. Great finds.
	9:33pm Cooh John: JakeGould, do you know why our names are darker on the comments board than others?
	9:34pm tomasz.: @CoohJohn because you've clicked on those profiles - the darker blue is "visited link"
	9:38pm Cooh John: I am a sucker for a great cover or a eye-catching label on a 45. Thanks, tomasz. Sometimes I see 3 different colors.
	9:42pm tomasz.: the only time i got to the FMU record fair i spent like $200 on stuff and then had to spend about the same again to UPS it back to the UK. yikes
	9:43pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: Thanks to the U.S. Postal Service for ditching surface/sea mail for normals like us! Boo! But hope you had fun.
	9:44pm Switchblade Batman: I had a musical exchange thing years ago with an Aussie girl. Really great music there.
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: The third color is probably for folks who aren't signed in.
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: What color do we have here?
	9:48pm tomasz.: Ken: bingo. my name appears like that when i post from my phone as opposed to my computer, for instance
	9:50pm Manny Machado: Yo Dogs In Space is my jam.
	9:53pm Bootsie: Sounds like we have some Suicide fans right here.
	9:53pm JakeGould: Is “Sextronics” like “Cyber Dildonics?” www.discogs.com...
	9:55pm Aitch: I hear more wacky old Aussie music on WFMU (and previously EVR) than I get here in Sydney? Enjoying the show, cheers.
	9:56pm Julie M Brooklyn: Ah, nice instrumental. I feel that sax tickling my throat. Hi Evan, Hi Eddy.
	9:58pm herb.nyc: Aside: maybe Eddy from Australia and others wanna go to CBGBs- (ampersands here). https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/arts/music/thurston-moore-sonic-youth-cbgb.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=mini-moth&region=top-stories-below&WT.nav=top-stories-below
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fun trax - Thx Eddy!
	10:00pm Stevel: Loving this stuff. All new to me. Saxophone!!
	10:01pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: I like going to the deli that now occupies the space that once was Max’s Kansas City. Surreal to eat steam table food and realize 4 decades ago everyone hung out in that exact physical space.
	10:03pm efd: new to me too! Glad you're enjoying it!
	10:04pm JakeGould: “Talking to Cleopatra” single here: www.discogs.com...
	10:10pm JakeGould: Is this what Eddy was talking about? www.discogs.com...
	10:11pm Aitch: Lots to links for asphyxiation and singer, but all lead to Michael Hutchence which is probably apronpriate.
	10:12pm JakeGould: @Aitch: I know! Isn’t it weird?
	10:16pm Stevel: That's a hell of a cover. Guessing it was entirely non commercial in Aus. as it would have been here.
	10:17pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: “Over time, I realized that not all the bands at CBGB were amazing.” BEST QUOTE!!!
	10:19pm Cooh John: I see, Ken From Hyde Park.
	10:19pm grace gold way: sheesh, tell me about it, Gould + Herb
	10:22pm JakeGould: And now, I will have to sleep. Thanks for the tunes and imagery people!!!
	10:23pm herb.nyc: @jakegould- I should apologize to Thurston, I threw that beer bottle. ----Maybe eddy should spk to ken, to get his own show here. He could do the morning slot as his Australian body clock will be happy.
	10:28pm chris_in_space: Hey all. Insane show tonight. Tent pole. It's good to be here.
	10:34pm steve: love it, all this stuff is great
	10:36pm efd: steve, I hope you caught some of those synthier cuts earlier in the set - I was thinking of you.
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Eddy and others
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: ...and not a single one of those records coincides with the wealth of amazing australian music my aussie gf turned me on to in the late 90s.
	10:43pm steve: oh yeah, i really gotta look up anna cessna.
	10:44pm Loretta: hi Evan!! just tuned in.... gonna check out the archives.... great show tonight!
	10:49pm herb.nyc: Sydney, that makes me think of Died Pretty.
	10:50pm Switchblade Batman: So @EFD you going down to Australia to return the fav? Get a cultural exchange going? @Eddie great stuff btw.
	10:52pm Aitch: Go aussie, time for your own show.
	10:53pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah that flight is a killer. The time difference is just weird.
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Eddy
	10:55pm JakeGould: @Eddy: When were you at the record fair? I was serving beer on Friday from 3:30pm to 7:00pm and stamping hands on Saturday from 12:30pm to 4:00pm.
	10:57pm efd: he was there Saturday and Sunday - maybe you stamped his hand!
	10:59pm JakeGould: @efd: Woo!
	11:00pm steve: sadly i gotta run, but if at all possible i'd like to request John Travolta be played again at some time, any time at all, in the future.
	11:05pm Stevel: Eddy and efd, this is great. Thanks again!
	11:07pm Danne D: Hi EFD and everyone :) workin' and listenin' so not too busy with the comments tonight
	11:10pm herb.nyc: a Love Train, if only...
	11:13pm Danne D: :)
	11:14pm efd: hey everyone, thanks for all the comments and requests! I've got some newer things I want to get in tonight, so the InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party will continue next week!
	11:14pm Danne D: Havent heard this in too long :) and this album for that matter
	11:14pm ?: the unmistakable sound of Boston!
	11:15pm Julie M Brooklyn: Years ago, I mean, back when Boston was, I knew a bird who loved Boston. He went nuts for "More Than A Feeling," I can't imagine what he'd do about this song. Probably be flying all over the cage.
	11:15pm Switchblade Batman: Hey @Danne D looks like @DaveHill broke you out. That brave heroic so and so
	11:15pm northguineahills: Yes, there is good Boston, and of course efd will play it!
	11:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bet Clay loves this.
	11:17pm northguineahills: 20 years ago, I was the only person who like "More Then a Feeling". Then it became part of the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto. Then nearly the theme song for Glee. Now, I can't get away from it!
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Coda is Queen-like...
	11:18pm Danne D: Hey SB :)
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Feeling' was one of the templates for 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' - ironically or not...
	11:20pm northguineahills: Well, that does it, I'm not listening to Small Change!
	11:27pm Julie M Brooklyn: Evan, you make me stay up later and later; in a couple of weeks I'll be able to stay for the whole show, but not yet. Anyway, if you're still taking requests for the record fair listening party next week, I'd be curious to hear the Willie Alexander track. 'night!
	11:31pm Danne D: This is like Sinatra's It Was A Very Good Year but not depressing :)
	11:35pm Danne D: :) Big Star!
	11:43pm Danne D: PLAY EM BOTH!
	11:47pm Mike Sin: No one has requested Kilburn and the High-Roads yet? Man, that is my request!
	11:49pm efd: I will play that for you momentarily, Mike, since I know you won't be listening next week! :)
	11:54pm Danne D: I have to sign off the comments now but thank you as always for being so excellent EFD :) until next time everyone :)
	11:56pm northguineahills: thanks efd!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: now that it's too late i'll say i'm curious about Tristram Shandy and about the Euclid Beach Band. - and surprised no one requested Wreckless Eric.
	11:56pm Mike Sin: Why, thank ye!
	11:57pm efd: Coel, I played Tristram Shandy earlier! Next week for Euclid Beach Band.
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Ha! okay, cool!
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan Great program,the 1/2 i heard - i'll have to revisit. ciao

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

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!

	9:15pm efd: hey everyone! As if the InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party wasn't enough, coming up at the bottom of the hour longtime listener/commenteer Eddy from Australia is coming through with some Aussie obscurities to play for us!
	9:17pm Switchblade Batman: Nice @EFD
	9:18pm tomasz.: this is a fun lil song
	9:18pm tomasz.: very "Oliver's Army"-ish in the chorus section
	9:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, EFD and listeners! Hi, Eddie. Thanks for dropping by. Requesting Expressos with "Hey Girl."
	9:22pm john: Damn, got to love New Wave Hawkwind.
	9:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh yes - the RequestingExpressos were great...
	9:22pm kimboSlice: Hello everyone
	9:23pm steve: obviously, a band called Hawklords will be awesome
	9:23pm JakeGould: PSI Power! PSI Power! PSI Power!
	9:24pm efd: next one is a request by ME, dammit! :)
	9:24pm JakeGould: “The burden of PSI power… It’s too much! Just too much for this rock and roller!”
	9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they finally got BryanFerry to take that DMT...
	9:25pm Stevel: Hey to Eddy! Looking forward to this.
	9:29pm Cooh John: Awesome show. WFMU= Where Fantastic Music is Usual! Of course I gots to vote for "There's No Surf In Cleveland" since I am from Ohiya. JakeGould, I am looking forward to next year's marathon. Can I be your wing man in the phone room?
	9:29pm JakeGould: Here’s the cover for “Lucy.” So good! www.discogs.com...
	9:30pm JakeGould: @CoohJohn: Sure! Why not?
	9:31pm JakeGould: And here’s the cover for “Don’t Go Out in the Rain.” www.discogs.com...
	9:31pm efd: more Record Fair requests to come after Eddy and his Aussie records!
	9:31pm JakeGould: And here is “PSI Power.” www.discogs.com...
	9:32pm JakeGould: I honestly just want to buy 45s for the covers nowadays.
	9:32pm Stevel: Ok, that bridge in Don't GoOut in the Rain was a bit odd. Great finds.
	9:33pm Cooh John: JakeGould, do you know why our names are darker on the comments board than others?
	9:34pm tomasz.: @CoohJohn because you've clicked on those profiles - the darker blue is "visited link"
	9:38pm Cooh John: I am a sucker for a great cover or a eye-catching label on a 45. Thanks, tomasz. Sometimes I see 3 different colors.
	9:42pm tomasz.: the only time i got to the FMU record fair i spent like $200 on stuff and then had to spend about the same again to UPS it back to the UK. yikes
	9:43pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: Thanks to the U.S. Postal Service for ditching surface/sea mail for normals like us! Boo! But hope you had fun.
	9:44pm Switchblade Batman: I had a musical exchange thing years ago with an Aussie girl. Really great music there.
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: The third color is probably for folks who aren't signed in.
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: What color do we have here?
	9:48pm tomasz.: Ken: bingo. my name appears like that when i post from my phone as opposed to my computer, for instance
	9:50pm Manny Machado: Yo Dogs In Space is my jam.
	9:53pm Bootsie: Sounds like we have some Suicide fans right here.
	9:53pm JakeGould: Is “Sextronics” like “Cyber Dildonics?” www.discogs.com...
	9:55pm Aitch: I hear more wacky old Aussie music on WFMU (and previously EVR) than I get here in Sydney? Enjoying the show, cheers.
	9:56pm Julie M Brooklyn: Ah, nice instrumental. I feel that sax tickling my throat. Hi Evan, Hi Eddy.
	9:58pm herb.nyc: Aside: maybe Eddy from Australia and others wanna go to CBGBs- (ampersands here). https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/arts/music/thurston-moore-sonic-youth-cbgb.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=mini-moth&region=top-stories-below&WT.nav=top-stories-below
	10:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fun trax - Thx Eddy!
	10:00pm Stevel: Loving this stuff. All new to me. Saxophone!!
	10:01pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: I like going to the deli that now occupies the space that once was Max’s Kansas City. Surreal to eat steam table food and realize 4 decades ago everyone hung out in that exact physical space.
	10:03pm efd: new to me too! Glad you're enjoying it!
	10:04pm JakeGould: “Talking to Cleopatra” single here: www.discogs.com...
	10:10pm JakeGould: Is this what Eddy was talking about? www.discogs.com...
	10:11pm Aitch: Lots to links for asphyxiation and singer, but all lead to Michael Hutchence which is probably apronpriate.
	10:12pm JakeGould: @Aitch: I know! Isn’t it weird?
	10:16pm Stevel: That's a hell of a cover. Guessing it was entirely non commercial in Aus. as it would have been here.
	10:17pm JakeGould: @herb.nyc: “Over time, I realized that not all the bands at CBGB were amazing.” BEST QUOTE!!!
	10:19pm Cooh John: I see, Ken From Hyde Park.
	10:19pm grace gold way: sheesh, tell me about it, Gould + Herb
	10:22pm JakeGould: And now, I will have to sleep. Thanks for the tunes and imagery people!!!
	10:23pm herb.nyc: @jakegould- I should apologize to Thurston, I threw that beer bottle. ----Maybe eddy should spk to ken, to get his own show here. He could do the morning slot as his Australian body clock will be happy.
	10:28pm chris_in_space: Hey all. Insane show tonight. Tent pole. It's good to be here.
	10:34pm steve: love it, all this stuff is great
	10:36pm efd: steve, I hope you caught some of those synthier cuts earlier in the set - I was thinking of you.
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Eddy and others
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: ...and not a single one of those records coincides with the wealth of amazing australian music my aussie gf turned me on to in the late 90s.
	10:43pm steve: oh yeah, i really gotta look up anna cessna.
	10:44pm Loretta: hi Evan!! just tuned in.... gonna check out the archives.... great show tonight!
	10:49pm herb.nyc: Sydney, that makes me think of Died Pretty.
	10:50pm Switchblade Batman: So @EFD you going down to Australia to return the fav? Get a cultural exchange going? @Eddie great stuff btw.
	10:52pm Aitch: Go aussie, time for your own show.
	10:53pm Switchblade Batman: Yeah that flight is a killer. The time difference is just weird.
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Eddy
	10:55pm JakeGould: @Eddy: When were you at the record fair? I was serving beer on Friday from 3:30pm to 7:00pm and stamping hands on Saturday from 12:30pm to 4:00pm.
	10:57pm efd: he was there Saturday and Sunday - maybe you stamped his hand!
	10:59pm JakeGould: @efd: Woo!
	11:00pm steve: sadly i gotta run, but if at all possible i'd like to request John Travolta be played again at some time, any time at all, in the future.
	11:05pm Stevel: Eddy and efd, this is great. Thanks again!
	11:07pm Danne D: Hi EFD and everyone :) workin' and listenin' so not too busy with the comments tonight
	11:10pm herb.nyc: a Love Train, if only...
	11:13pm Danne D: :)
	11:14pm efd: hey everyone, thanks for all the comments and requests! I've got some newer things I want to get in tonight, so the InterActiv™ Record Fair Listening Party will continue next week!
	11:14pm Danne D: Havent heard this in too long :) and this album for that matter
	11:14pm ?: the unmistakable sound of Boston!
	11:15pm Julie M Brooklyn: Years ago, I mean, back when Boston was, I knew a bird who loved Boston. He went nuts for "More Than A Feeling," I can't imagine what he'd do about this song. Probably be flying all over the cage.
	11:15pm Switchblade Batman: Hey @Danne D looks like @DaveHill broke you out. That brave heroic so and so
	11:15pm northguineahills: Yes, there is good Boston, and of course efd will play it!
	11:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bet Clay loves this.
	11:17pm northguineahills: 20 years ago, I was the only person who like "More Then a Feeling". Then it became part of the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto. Then nearly the theme song for Glee. Now, I can't get away from it!
	11:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Coda is Queen-like...
	11:18pm Danne D: Hey SB :)
	11:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Feeling' was one of the templates for 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' - ironically or not...
	11:20pm northguineahills: Well, that does it, I'm not listening to Small Change!
	11:27pm Julie M Brooklyn: Evan, you make me stay up later and later; in a couple of weeks I'll be able to stay for the whole show, but not yet. Anyway, if you're still taking requests for the record fair listening party next week, I'd be curious to hear the Willie Alexander track. 'night!
	11:31pm Danne D: This is like Sinatra's It Was A Very Good Year but not depressing :)
	11:35pm Danne D: :) Big Star!
	11:43pm Danne D: PLAY EM BOTH!
	11:47pm Mike Sin: No one has requested Kilburn and the High-Roads yet? Man, that is my request!
	11:49pm efd: I will play that for you momentarily, Mike, since I know you won't be listening next week! :)
	11:54pm Danne D: I have to sign off the comments now but thank you as always for being so excellent EFD :) until next time everyone :)
	11:56pm northguineahills: thanks efd!
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: now that it's too late i'll say i'm curious about Tristram Shandy and about the Euclid Beach Band. - and surprised no one requested Wreckless Eric.
	11:56pm Mike Sin: Why, thank ye!
	11:57pm efd: Coel, I played Tristram Shandy earlier! Next week for Euclid Beach Band.
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Ha! okay, cool!
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan Great program,the 1/2 i heard - i'll have to revisit. ciao
