	9:08pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: Greetings!
	9:09pm JakeGould: It could be worse… Someone could be popping an Ambient and talking about the [insert race/ethnic/religious group here].
	9:09pm JakeGould: You gotta be cruller to be kind.
	9:11pm JakeGould: But at least Evan is a big Boston Red Cream fan.
	9:11pm dale: had no idea who this band was. now i know.
	9:11pm Julie M: Oh, man oh man. Music is such a strong evoker of memories. This song is doing that. Ma Belle Amie... Good job by you efd.
	9:15pm dale: logging off but keeping my ears on. night kiddos.
	9:15pm coelacanth∅: i wish i'd caught ma belle amie. i love that song and it's been a while this is good though hi efd and funkies

	9:22pm Hugh: hey Evan or any of your fans! Looking to give away 2 Mets/Cubs tix for tmw night! Upper deck but ya free. is that kosher on this board?
	9:30pm Stevel: Flimsy plastic sleeves were The FUTURE!!
	9:33pm Julie M: I looked it up. It was December 1969, but I think released in 1970.
	9:34pm Julie M: Ma Belle Amie, that is...
	9:35pm Franco Twinkie: Going to hazard a guess on the Tee Set -1970. Big in the 9th grade.
	9:37pm Franco Twinkie: Going to hazard a guess on the Tee Set - 1970. Big in the 9th grade!
	9:38pm efd: thanks Franco and Julie! I'll go with 1970.
	9:39pm Franco Twinkie: Ging to hazard a guess on the Tee Set -1970. Big in the 9th grade!
	9:40pm Franco Twinkie: ' Scuse me for not scrolling. Duh!
	9:41pm Julie M: Thanks for playing that one, Evan. It's always nice to have a song resurface in your mind, but often you need a DJ to push it to the surface for you!
	9:45pm efd: you're welcome Julie! That's one of the fun things about doing this, seeing people react like that.
	9:48pm Julie M: Keep pushin' 'em, efd.
	9:56pm Jeff Moore: Everybody happy with the state of the streams? We did a big network change at the station and had some initial teething problems, but I believe all is now well. Do y'all concur?
	10:01pm efd: maybe they can't hear you Jeff
	10:01pm Jeff Moore: (BTW, speaking of streams - the newest version of our iOS app - WFMU Radio version 5.1.2 - should be generally available in the App Store. Somewhere in there it offers you the ability to choose the stereo AAC stream, which I recommend for sonic goodness, instead of the old stereo MP3 stream. Oh, and see on this page where it says "128k AAC"? I recommend that for people who use standalone players like VLC or iTunes or suchlike.) That is all. Enjoy the tunes.
	10:03pm Julie M: Streaming like a dream, Jeff. Thanks.
	10:03pm Jeff Moore: Whee!
	10:04pm Guy Kurshenoff: Ma Belle Ami charted in the Netherlands in '69 and in the U.S. in "70.
	10:05pm Stevel: Speak up, Jeff! Working well on the app.
	10:06pm Jeff Moore: Tap.. tap.. tap...
	10:06pm Stevel: My app is the recent update.
	10:07pm Jeff Moore: I don't think the app automatically changes you to the AAC stream (although I argued for that); but it should now show up as an option.
	10:13pm Hugh: Concur w Jeff. Never had big stream probs since the 70s. (You know what I mean.) Have the sads since no Mets fans or even a scolding not to do that here.
	10:18pm efd: hey Hugh, if you want to post your contact info for people to get in touch with you directly go ahead, but it's strictly between you and whoever contacts you.
	10:23pm Hugh: Thanks Evan but no Mets or Cubs fans (in town) who listen to your show are interested. We'll give em away at the gate. Anyway, love your show! I stream it! Seriously, thanks for the MUSIC!
	10:44pm johnk77: nice show louis cortelezzi on sax on the mink deville track

	11:24pm efd: oh boy, you and me both!
	11:25pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: The Tubes rock like this? I had no idea

	11:29pm DouglasInDallas: OMG was worried that it was gonna be stupid but Electric Six can't do wrong even on a cover of Dirty Laundry....
	11:30pm johnk77: founding member of journey the tubes 1 of the greatest live bands in california during the seventies good show @efd
	11:31pm Stevel: Fee W and friends in '77 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9wuaVV33I
	11:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: One of Donut Manager Ken's specialities is a marching band rendition of "White Punks on Dope."
	11:33pm efd: Douglas, that was pretty much my exact reaction the first time I heard that E6 cover of "Dirty Laundry"
	11:45pm herb.nyc: Evan, you smell great and you are brilliant. Oh, perfume genius is the middle band at Forest Hills.
	11:46pm BriJet: AHHHHH DAVY
	11:50pm efd: here's some more Prairie Prince drumming!
	9:15am Barkevious Shabazz: The Tubes "Don't Touch Me There", while kind of a joke song, is so great, and the production so reminiscent of early 70's Roxy, it needs to get far more recognition that it does, which is none.

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!
