	9:18pm Uncle Michael: proto-10cc
	9:19pm Eddy in Australia: Well that was weird! The message above is from me.
	9:20pm Eddy in Australia: Technical issues! Moral of the story: don't take so much time off to go record shopping overseas,
	9:21pm efd: I'll fix it up for you, Eddy. @UM - I was thinking of playing something from 10cc's Sheet Music LP, went with the Hotlegs b-side instead.
	9:21pm Uncle Michael: I love the deep cuts.
	9:22pm Eddy in Australia: That said, I'll now have to track down that Glass Torpedoes 45.
	9:23pm Uncle Michael: You could gone with Halfnelson instead of Sparks, too!
	9:26pm efd: and Neon Boys instead of Television while I was at it!

	9:31pm chris_in_space: @Switchblade Batman: deets are, it's time for the funk.
	9:34pm Switchblade Batman: That it is @Chris_in_space. He's right the thermometer is saying its time for the summer songs.
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: I front. I front a lot.
	9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MM Top20 albums. Of anything.

	10:44pm chad from oregon: I've really been enjoying the new Jesus and Mary chain album. It really seems to be hitting the right place when I least expect much to.
	10:47pm Switchblade Batman: I should check it out @Chad, I loved Psycho Candy and Darklands but their later ones didn't do it for me. How does it compare?
	10:58pm chad from oregon: It's like revisiting an old friend... twenty years later... without sounding like a "mature, 20 years later grown-up version" of the glory days.
	10:59pm Switchblade Batman: Good review @Chad, will have to give it a listen for sure now.
	11:00pm chad from oregon: Or maybe it is... but that formula finally hit with where I am and worked without seeming too obvious. :D
	11:00pm Drunken Creep: loved that weightless track! what a beautiful song!
	11:02pm chad from oregon: Though it does have female vocalists all over it... clearly hoping to possibly revisit what worked with the Sometimes Always hit in the early 90s.
	11:07pm Cooh John: Relaxing to the funk after working hard all day. Letting the music wash over me.
	11:18pm Switchblade Batman: I'm loving the moon duo @EFD great choice.

	11:27pm Stevel: This set is rolling along in a most satisfactory fashion, thank you very much.
	11:34pm Drunken Creep: Standing with Blade on being thankful for all of the outstanding music WFMU brings

	11:38pm Stevel: An almost Lemmy bass style. Makes it lot of noise!
	11:40pm Stevel: Bloomington offers hope for next time! [sob]
	11:44pm Hoboken Jack: I have my filthy friends ticket for later this summer!
	11:48pm efd: cool Jack!
	11:49pm Stevel: Also loving the Golden Pelicans, and now... HOLY FUCKING WAR PIGS!!
	11:51pm Stevel: Wow. You did this for the drum breaks, didn't you? It's okay. Wow. Never heard it without the vocals.
	11:53pm Stevel: So many nerdy questions.
	11:53pm efd: yeah it's quite something with no vocals!
	11:55pm Stevel: How were they so funky?
	11:57pm Stevel: Sofa King cool!

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!
