	9:16pm Alex of Chicago: i see where the horns in this song are going
	9:17pm Marie: I think I am fighting off a cold that I got from a coworker. I think I am going to kill him (please don't tell the police!)
	9:18pm Kat in Chicago: It's always time for the perculater!
	9:18pm Alex of Chicago: juke, juke, juke
	9:18pm KidProJoe: It is definitely time for this.
	9:19pm Marie: Love the spelling--"Cajmere"
	9:24pm Marie: Anybody going to see pete murphy in New york? is he still here? I have to see about that
	9:25pm efd: sadly the rest of his shows have been postponed - he had a heart attack earlier in the week.
	9:25pm Shirley: Marie, please, don't kill your coworker. You know you will regret it, unless you are a psychopath
	9:26pm Marie: @efd--oh wow, I did not know that. I hope he is gonna be okay.
	9:26pm RobinSays: Wishing Peter Murphy a speedy recovery. He is a singular talent. His songs comingle beauty and darkness brilliantly.
	9:29pm Marie: @Shirley--is willfully withholding a heimlich maneuver considered murder?
	9:30pm Kat in Chicago: Eating dishes would be pretty punk rock I guess

	9:49pm Kat in Chicago: I think that was a mistake too. There was even a bit of No. 1 heard at the end.
	9:49pm efd: right! @Bootsie what do you know about this??
	9:51pm efd: there's another track that's called "promo spot for No. 1 In Heaven that comes before the single version of that song but I haven't listened to it yet!
	9:52pm Kat in Chicago: Maybe they got them mixed up?
	9:52pm scobot: Any chance you could play The Incredible He Woman/Stereolab?
	9:52pm Bootsie: @efd I haven't heard it before!
	9:54pm efd: @scobot Mmmmmaybe.... but if I do it wouldn't be for at least an hour, just to manage expectations

	11:11pm efd: she was such a delight! So glad I was able to talk to her, glad you all enjoyed as well.
	11:12pm DB: The vocals on that Graham Day sounded uncannily like Ted Leo...
	11:15pm efd: @DB oh interesting... I didn't make that connection, will listen again!

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!
