	9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Has JimmyPage.)
	9:27pm Stevel: Good evening, all. Loved the Lulu interview with Todophonic Todd last Saturday. Her singing over the phone was very cool.
	9:30pm grace gold way: i like mountain dew and liberty party mix especially when i get it from the deli on hessex-- hester and essex st
	9:31pm grace gold way: jake, what's your favorite deli?
	9:33pm Cait: Lulu's the greatest. Simon Templar, also excellent. Not saying these are my finest observations ever. Also hi Evan. :)
	9:34pm steve: did someone say cat avatars
	9:36pm Julie M Brooklyn: Oh, Steve. Tell me that's your real cat.
	9:37pm efd: hi Cait! Nice to see you here!
	9:37pm jt: Thanks efd, It sounded so different. Guess i never heard it over the air, on my kitchen speakers, eating a taco..
	9:38pm Bootsie: Not liking the autotune. :-(
	9:39pm steve: no, but it a real life 4 eared cat
	9:40pm efd: I hear you, Bootsie, but I am willing to give Debbie Harry a whole lot of slack at this point. :)
	9:40pm chris_in_space: I'm not huge on all the techniques... but yeah, it's Debbie Harry. Open door policy.
	9:41pm Bootsie: @Evan she IS a goddess.
	9:42pm chris_in_space: This Midnight Reruns, however, takes zero effort to love
	9:42pm JakeGould: @GraceGoldWay: My favorite deli? That’s kinda personal. But nowadays since tons of old school delis are gone, I would say “Little Poland” in the East Village or that mini-chain known as “Essen” that is like a Korean deli done right.
	9:42pm efd: Indeed.
	9:46pm Steve: EFD, can I ask you a music question ?
	9:47pm grace gold way: my polish friends in high school always had little shows at lil poland, ha
	9:47pm efd: I'm having deja vu, Steve, but go ahead. I think you asked me one a couple of weeks ago and I didn't respond but also didn't know the answer...?
	9:50pm JakeGould: The had shows in “Little Poland?” What kind?
	9:50pm Steve: Never mind I don't want to bother you
	9:51pm grace gold way: folky rocky polish american music
	9:51pm Andrew Benintendi: cool story, brah.
	9:52pm chris_in_space: omg dares
	9:56pm JakeGould: I would have gone for the pierogis. Who doesn’t like pierogis?
	9:57pm grace gold way: yummm
	9:59pm Matt J: Great set!
	10:02pm chris_in_space: Just bought that Dares 7". Instant love. This show is cookin' to-night.
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Funklings Good i got here in time for the "heavy" portion of the programme!
	10:04pm Stevel: A worthy Godfathers cover!
	10:06pm efd: i've got news for you, Stevel: That was the original!
	10:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: I don't know the pronunciation of ötzi, either, but I recognize that as the name given to the mummified body discovered in the Alps a few years back.
	10:12pm efd: damn Ken, you're good!
	10:15pm Stevel: Original? Schooled! Electric Citizen is a great band name, especially lately.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: that creation track was fucking brilliant!
	10:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Heh, I watched a PBS show about him.
	10:16pm Ignore Function: Wow, The Godfathers are back?
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: "Good Memory Ken" we call him.
	10:23pm medson: Frankie & the Witch Fingers are one of my fav bands : )
	10:33pm Julie M Brooklyn: This is a great Bee Gees song. And an interesting cover.
	10:37pm JakeGould: Otzi was one sweet fella. We all said, “That Otzi is going places!”
	10:38pm chris_in_space: Oh my damn–UFO. Killin' it tonight, @efd
	10:38pm Howard F: Good evening friends!
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: ötzi went to the point of know return.
	10:48pm Carmichael: Heya Evan!
	10:49pm el Garree~: Hello EFD listeners: ötzi: Sounds like a type of pasta... look but don't eat though... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/De-Oetzi-pronunciation.ogg
	10:49pm steve: needs more reverb
	10:58pm Hoboken Jack: Listen to what EFD says!
	10:59pm Carmichael: Is this the original album release? It sounds very clear.
	11:02pm efd: yup, direct from vinyl Carmichael! hiya Jack!
	11:03pm el Garree~: needed more reverb but now more lennon
	11:13pm el Garree~: Just to set the record straight... Dion is a really nice person. Hey dj, set that record straight.
	11:18pm el Garree~: Ya know, I think I like Geoff's version of "Brazil" more than Maria's stuff. A lot of history in that. And lot's of love for WFMU.
	11:20pm efd: I don't think I said anything to suggest Dion wasn't a nice person, did I?
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: you didn't, Evan...Dion's music did that on it's own!
	11:27pm el Garree~: No, not a bit. He was the rock star of his brief time. I should have phrased it differently. Just a nice guy who I met. Point taken toward my personal deportment. Sorry, been watching to much "news" and rough around the edges.
	11:28pm BEAVO: This sounds a lot like The Verve.
	11:29pm Carmichael: Needless to say, this stuff ROCKS!
	11:30pm JakeGould: @EFD: Maybe that Dion comment was a reference to me saying Otzi was a nice guy? I mean he was! And now he’s a great mummy!
	11:32pm el Garree~: Huh? So did Dion die too? Say it ain't so...
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: yes it did have some verve to it.
	11:34pm el Garree~: ötzi was a person of his time. so was/is dion.
	11:35pm efd: Dion is not dead! Just making a connection between those two songs is all.
	11:36pm Eddy in Australia: Hi everyone. Been lurking tonight. Great show, Evan. Thumbs up especially for playing Splodge and the Teardrops.
	11:37pm efd: Eddy! There's a new compilation here at the station that has an Anne Cessna track on it!
	11:38pm Carmichael: Dion is 77 years young.
	11:41pm Eddy in Australia: @Evan: Whoa, that was quick! Sounds like "Closed Circuits," which I mentioned on your show.
	11:42pm Eddy in Australia: Anyone else hear a little Yazoo in this Garrasco's track?
	11:42pm efd: this is something different - it's called 'Subnormal Girls' (Vol 2) - international lineup of bands with female singers. There's another Australian band called Microfilm on it.
	11:43pm el Garree~: Dion LIVES! But still a nice guy. So do you have a tight playlist or "ride on the vibe" as we used to say in the 80's? OK I just made that up. Do tell...
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: yazoo or yaz?!
	11:43pm efd: I live song-to-song. If that.
	11:45pm Dan from Toronto: Sounds great from up here, Evan
	11:47pm efd: thanks Dan!
	11:47pm el Garree~: EFD: DJ is the Silver Song Surfer...
	11:48pm Carmichael: Bay area rockrs!
	11:48pm Eddy in Australia: @Evan: Aah, that one. Microfilm was Lisa Gerrard's (Dead Can Dance) first band. @Coelacantha: Only Yaz in America, (original name) Yazoo everywhere else.
	11:51pm Dangerous Lee: Dug that blank square
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Eddy! - i just looked into that. 'weird i never knew, all these years.
	11:55pm medson: another great show tonight
