	10:21pm Richard S: Here we go! Here come the Martian Martians!
	10:21pm efd: omg this is so great already! (I didn't re-listen to the whole thing before tonight)
	10:25pm fleep: very proggy martians
	10:25pm Alex of Chicago: Greatest ever?
	10:28pm Kat in Chicago: Better than I expected, so far.
	10:31pm iandiareii: Richard Burton narrating? Burtonesque at least.
	10:32pm On the Yazoo: Liam Neeson
	10:32pm efd: Burton himself!
	10:32pm ! I X Key !: For Halloween I'm this sonnet by John Keats! On the Grasshopper and Cricket The Poetry of earth is never dead: When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead; That is the Grasshopper’s—he takes the lead In summer luxury,—he has never done With his delights; for when tired out with fun He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed. The poetry of earth is ceasing never: On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever, And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, The Grasshopper’s among some grassy hills.
	10:33pm ! I X Key !: What are you?
	10:34pm efd: Liam Neeson narrated the New Generation remake in the early 2010s
	10:35pm efd: Chris Spedding is playing guitar, btw
	10:35pm On the Yazoo: Ahh..
	10:38pm Julie M: Spedding, yes. And there's nothing wrong with a deep-voiced Welsh accent for the narrative.
	10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: liquid hot MAGMA
	10:39pm daveB from Oakland: the repeating banjo(?) motif is very odd
	10:42pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm going to get impaled by Satan. See you all down below.
	10:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: David Essex who did "Rock On"? I imagine so.
	10:47pm efd: That's the one, Ken!
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: I'm using this music in my doc about R/C buggy racing in the late 80s and early 90s.
	10:49pm efd: I was excited at first that one of the LPs in this set had side 1 and side 4, and the other had side 2 and side 3, thinking I wouldn't have to worry about flipping a record over and cueing it up but I just realized I'm going to need to do that with this record.
	10:50pm efd: ooh, I love it Alex!
	10:52pm Kat in Chicago: I remember this song!
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: collated for record changers, Evan...cool.
	10:52pm efd: This was a decent-sized hit back in the day!
	10:53pm On the Yazoo: I remember this track
	10:53pm Richard S: Classic song for the season.
	10:53pm efd: @Uncle Michael yeah, I forgot that I'm not really a record changer! :D
	10:53pm Julie M: Yeah, I remember this song too as a Moody Blues song, but I never knew about the WOTW thing.
	10:55pm efd: As Uncle Michael pointed out to me earlier, this song started out as a Lego TV commercial (!!) in the late '60s.
	10:55pm DJ E: This is pretty sweet. Thanks efd! I remember my grandmother telling me about being around for the Orson Welles broadcast. in the 30's.
	10:55pm Alex of Chicago: That early. Interesting.
	10:55pm Bill W: I wonder if Burton wrote about this project in his voluminous diaries?
	10:56pm efd: Julie I don't think it was even a Moody Blues release! Just Justin Hayward solo (I mean, solo with this ridiculous band/orchestration)
	10:57pm efd: the Wiki entry for "Forever Autumn": en.wikipedia.org...
	10:58pm Julie M: Oh, I stand corrected. I hear Justin Heyward and I think Moody Blues.
	10:58pm gw: I love this song And have since 71
	10:59pm Mike Sin: I'm all ready for Phil Lynott to show up!
	11:00pm efd: coming up on Side 3!
	11:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to see that Lego commercial. There are plenty of covers, suitable for a Mary Wing feature, perhaps.
	11:00pm efd: Reasonable reaction, Julie!
	11:02pm Richard S: Great essay on this version of WOTW: mezzanottecinema.com...
	11:02pm Alex of Chicago: i have such visions in my head about the musicians
	11:07pm Joel: Anyone else remember the 'Intergalactic Touring Band' concept album put out by Passport records ? Not horror(esque) but a science fiction themed musical extravaganza with very eclectic cast of performers
	11:08pm takalado: for this halloween i am Left Out
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: Julie, I assumed it was a Moody Blues track too.
	11:09pm Squigs: I Rokk by Kasvot Vaxt? lol
	11:10pm efd: ??
	11:11pm Richard S: Kat and Julie: Justin Hayward was the front man for Moody Blues......
	11:12pm efd: I'm pretty sure they're both aware of that, Richard
	11:13pm Richard S: ....yeah....
	11:15pm daveB from Oakland: the martian are back in town (the martians are back in town)
	11:15pm Joel: He should break into 'The Martians Are Back In Town' next :-)
	11:15pm DJ E: @Squiggs Phish tonight?

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!

	10:19pm ! I X Key !: BOO!
	10:19pm ! I X Key !: eek!
	10:19pm ! I X Key !: I scared me!
	10:21pm Richard S: Here we go! Here come the Martian Martians!
	10:21pm efd: omg this is so great already! (I didn't re-listen to the whole thing before tonight)
	10:25pm fleep: very proggy martians
	10:25pm Alex of Chicago: Greatest ever?
	10:28pm Kat in Chicago: Better than I expected, so far.
	10:31pm iandiareii: Richard Burton narrating? Burtonesque at least.
	10:32pm On the Yazoo: Liam Neeson
	10:32pm efd: Burton himself!
	10:32pm ! I X Key !: For Halloween I'm this sonnet by John Keats! On the Grasshopper and Cricket The Poetry of earth is never dead: When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead; That is the Grasshopper’s—he takes the lead In summer luxury,—he has never done With his delights; for when tired out with fun He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed. The poetry of earth is ceasing never: On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever, And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, The Grasshopper’s among some grassy hills.
	10:33pm ! I X Key !: What are you?
	10:34pm efd: Liam Neeson narrated the New Generation remake in the early 2010s
	10:35pm efd: Chris Spedding is playing guitar, btw
	10:35pm On the Yazoo: Ahh..
	10:38pm Julie M: Spedding, yes. And there's nothing wrong with a deep-voiced Welsh accent for the narrative.
	10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: liquid hot MAGMA
	10:39pm daveB from Oakland: the repeating banjo(?) motif is very odd
	10:42pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm going to get impaled by Satan. See you all down below.
	10:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: David Essex who did "Rock On"? I imagine so.
	10:47pm efd: That's the one, Ken!
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: I'm using this music in my doc about R/C buggy racing in the late 80s and early 90s.
	10:49pm efd: I was excited at first that one of the LPs in this set had side 1 and side 4, and the other had side 2 and side 3, thinking I wouldn't have to worry about flipping a record over and cueing it up but I just realized I'm going to need to do that with this record.
	10:50pm efd: ooh, I love it Alex!
	10:52pm Kat in Chicago: I remember this song!
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: collated for record changers, Evan...cool.
	10:52pm efd: This was a decent-sized hit back in the day!
	10:53pm On the Yazoo: I remember this track
	10:53pm Richard S: Classic song for the season.
	10:53pm efd: @Uncle Michael yeah, I forgot that I'm not really a record changer! :D
	10:53pm Julie M: Yeah, I remember this song too as a Moody Blues song, but I never knew about the WOTW thing.
	10:55pm efd: As Uncle Michael pointed out to me earlier, this song started out as a Lego TV commercial (!!) in the late '60s.
	10:55pm DJ E: This is pretty sweet. Thanks efd! I remember my grandmother telling me about being around for the Orson Welles broadcast. in the 30's.
	10:55pm Alex of Chicago: That early. Interesting.
	10:55pm Bill W: I wonder if Burton wrote about this project in his voluminous diaries?
	10:56pm efd: Julie I don't think it was even a Moody Blues release! Just Justin Hayward solo (I mean, solo with this ridiculous band/orchestration)
	10:57pm efd: the Wiki entry for "Forever Autumn": en.wikipedia.org...
	10:58pm Julie M: Oh, I stand corrected. I hear Justin Heyward and I think Moody Blues.
	10:58pm gw: I love this song And have since 71
	10:59pm Mike Sin: I'm all ready for Phil Lynott to show up!
	11:00pm efd: coming up on Side 3!
	11:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to see that Lego commercial. There are plenty of covers, suitable for a Mary Wing feature, perhaps.
	11:00pm efd: Reasonable reaction, Julie!
	11:02pm Richard S: Great essay on this version of WOTW: mezzanottecinema.com...
	11:02pm Alex of Chicago: i have such visions in my head about the musicians
	11:07pm Joel: Anyone else remember the 'Intergalactic Touring Band' concept album put out by Passport records ? Not horror(esque) but a science fiction themed musical extravaganza with very eclectic cast of performers
	11:08pm takalado: for this halloween i am Left Out
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: Julie, I assumed it was a Moody Blues track too.
	11:09pm Squigs: I Rokk by Kasvot Vaxt? lol
	11:10pm efd: ??
	11:11pm Richard S: Kat and Julie: Justin Hayward was the front man for Moody Blues......
	11:12pm efd: I'm pretty sure they're both aware of that, Richard
	11:13pm Richard S: ....yeah....
	11:15pm daveB from Oakland: the martian are back in town (the martians are back in town)
