	9:09pm Kat in Chicago: I'm really glad that you do this. It's so sweet and the music is so good.

	9:14pm Uncle Michael: sooner or later, the motors gonna get ya...motors gonna get ya...
	9:15pm sufferwords: Saw this Robert Gordon tour at the John Ansen Ford amphitheater in the Cahuenga Pass- Motels opened - my first backstage hang as an extremely smoked out Valley corn dog- still had hair to my ass
	9:16pm efd: I see what you did there, UM! @JohnEBGood West coast legend?! You must have me confused with Billy Jam.
	9:18pm Roberto: Oh ha, guess you noticed that too, UM. I was going to say that Motors tune sounded like a Sooner or Later cash grab.
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: efd, have I told you how much Kate loves it that you list years on the playlist? When we're listening to some other shows and she asks what year a track is and I have to say, "Information not provided," she says, "That's not how efd does it."
	9:18pm JohnEBGood: Wowww! You already know!!! Legends we are all!!
	9:19pm efd: thank you for sharing that, Handy!

	9:21pm coelacanth∅: greetings efd and all
	9:22pm Terre T: @efd- If its true u were highly influenced by+owe your DJing+much of your love of music to Jimmy Mack - then I'm similarly influenced by him- albeit in an indirect way because when I was in HS I listened to YOUR NYU New Afternoon show.

	9:25pm efd: @Aitch I only discovered in the past few years that it was a cover! Went on Discogs and got the JPY LP forthwith!

	9:58pm Jenny: Evan...I can't believe this is your last show...thank you for the great quality of programming...
	10:00pm BH: weird how Evan was replaced on the schedule with a DJ who had the same name and voice as him
	10:00pm JohnEBGood: I knew you could do it! Columbo
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: no Evan you're wrong! the trolls know better than you do, don't you think?!

	11:06pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Thanks for telling us about your friend. I appreciate the year information too.
	11:07pm sufferwords: Played the Roxy on a twin bill with The Godfathers on B S W Dth tour- they wore super cool suits
	11:07pm javakid: I worked at Atlantic in the 90s and there was a yum-yum that had a sip (not even a cup) of coffee with the label www.allmusic.com...
	11:07pm efd: @javakid Chris Thompson, not Chris Thomas.
	11:09pm Joe B: re The Godfathers - At my college station in 1988 (or 1987?), WTSR in Trenton, we booked the Godfathers (well Randy Now did the real actual work) to play our annual benefit show. In between, birth school work death started taking off and someone at Columbia pressured the godfathers to blow us off for a better gig. but they refused and honored it, and were super cool to work with. on top of that they went against the label's orders and let us broadcast it as well. wish i still had the tape!
	11:09pm javakid: @efd that makes sense. the Chris Thomas I'm aware of is a serious producer in his own right but different vertical.
	11:11pm efd: @javakid exactly! @Joe, that's a great story! I'm hoping Peter Coyne will agree to be interviewed, I'd also reached out to him when I first had this idea several years ago and he was into it. Maile was very well-liked, it seems.
	11:13pm Joe B: hope so efd. either way a great idea for a show!
	11:16pm efd: @javakid will need to investigate that record further!
	11:18pm Stevel: Excited for the Maile show! (Now you’re stuck.). Razor-blade guitars. No bullshit. Almost as good as Mike Sin. (Praise his name). Amen.
	11:18pm javakid: Frankly not a lot of great things to say about it. there were other bands on Tagg that didn't get the love (and sound have) like The Inbreds and Fuzzy, got a bit more love like The Bottlerockets or, got the love Fountains of Wayne
	11:21pm Joe B: danny heep - one of the underrated awful Mets trades of all time. It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of all their terrible trades
	11:25pm javakid: @Joe Heep straight up for Mike Scott. Almost Ryan for Fregosi in it's awfulness
	11:25pm Joe B: doesn't get mentioned enough. so bad.
	11:27pm Mike: Exciting and unpredictable show as always! Great that you remember your friend for introducing you to so much good music
	11:27pm efd: @Stevel thanks for keeping me honest!
	11:30pm efd: Thanks very much Mike!
	11:30pm Stevel: efd: Great show, once again! Always enjoy your tribute to Jimmy Mack. Thanks for sharing this.
	11:33pm Chop Scott: Great Wednesday Evening EFD! Been listening, but not sitting at the desk. As always thanks for the Nat Freedberg content!
	11:34pm efd: ha, always my pleasure C. Scott!
	11:47pm Mike: I'll have to check out what all those Australians have been up to
	11:48pm Chop Scott: Cheers to Jim McIntyre---and your tribute EFD.
	11:48pm efd: There's 29 more of them on that collection! More than that, actually, since some of them are bands.
	11:52pm wfmu listener phillip: my dad was a die hard Mets fan. he got the change to see tom sever pitch in a day game at shea stadium in 1969
	11:54pm wfmu listener phillip: waa he mad when the mets traded away Dykstra and McDowell and later Rick Aguilera
	11:54pm Stevel: Thanks efd, Scott, Skeletons and DJs and the rest of us who make this thing work. Cheers!
	11:57pm spodiodi: thanks, EFD! thanks, Scott and the Skeleton Crew! cheerio, all!
	11:58pm Joe B: thanks efd!
	11:58pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, efd!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks efd! Thanks skeleton crew!

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!

September 16, 2020: live from Studio E(FD): The annual Jimmy Mack tribute show

Back in October 2006 I dedicated my first show on the regular WFMU weekly schedule to Jim McIntyre, a/k/a Jimmy Mack, who was one of my best friends in high school. That's him kneeling just to the right of center in the photo above, wearing the AC/DC Powerage t-shirt, along with the rest of the staff of WBCN/Boston back in 1978 or so. Jimmy started working there while we were in high school, and before long his passion, dedication and enthusiasm earned him the position of Music Director at the station.

Jimmy was the person who turned me on to a TON of new music that was coming out at the time -- Cheap Trick, The Dictators, The Ramones, The Stranglers, Ultravox, and Television are just a few of the bands that I first heard of because of my friendship with Jimmy. Imagine being in your teens and having a friend turn you on to just ONE of those bands. Now increase that impact tenfold, or more, and you start to get an idea of the importance of Jimmy's friendship. OK, not every band he turned me on to was super-cool -- he gave me the first couple of Foreigner albums, for instance -- but still, Jimmy had a great ear for cool music that wasn't yet -- or, sometimes, ever -- part of the mainstream.

Fortunately for me -- and for you -- that excitement and passion for discovering and sharing new music was matched by his generosity. Nearly every time I saw him he'd present me with a bag of extra (or rejected) promo records from his WBCN job. Many of those records remain favorites of mine to this day.

In the summer of 1985, Jimmy learned he had AIDS. A year later he passed away, at the age of 25. As you can see from the obituary that ran in the Boston Globe he was as generous with his time as he was with records. Regrettably I had lost contact with Jimmy by this time, and didn't hear of his passing until a few years later.

I dedicated that first weekly show on the regular WFMU schedule to Jimmy to acknowledge his impact on my life, and especially on my own musical tastes. Since then I've dedicated one of the first shows of the WFMU fall schedule to him, since his influence is never too far from what you hear me play on my show. Thanks for taking a moment to read about him, and thanks for listening to WFMU.

	9:08pm javakid: thank you for sharing this tribute Evan - I'm sure we'll feel the love throughout the selections.
	9:08pm efd: Hi everyone, thanks for tuning in! It means the world to me that some of you remember this show from year to year. I love that it helps to keep Jimmy's name alive.
	9:09pm Kat in Chicago: I'm really glad that you do this. It's so sweet and the music is so good.
	9:10pm Aitch: Very kind thing to do EFD, heard a couple of these specials before, always worth a listen.
	9:11pm javakid: the kraftwerk > robert gordon sugue is the true "power move"
	9:11pm P-90: Of course we remember this tribute (and that rad photo) from year to year!
	9:12pm JohnEBGood: John Entwhistle, b-side of New Song? All good. Hey Evan , I know you're a west coast legend and we love your groove here in the Wild East! Peace and love to you, and our FMU family!
	9:14pm McGroovey: Motors!
	9:14pm Uncle Michael: sooner or later, the motors gonna get ya...motors gonna get ya...
	9:15pm sufferwords: Saw this Robert Gordon tour at the John Ansen Ford amphitheater in the Cahuenga Pass- Motels opened - my first backstage hang as an extremely smoked out Valley corn dog- still had hair to my ass
	9:16pm efd: I see what you did there, UM! @JohnEBGood West coast legend?! You must have me confused with Billy Jam.
	9:18pm Roberto: Oh ha, guess you noticed that too, UM. I was going to say that Motors tune sounded like a Sooner or Later cash grab.
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: efd, have I told you how much Kate loves it that you list years on the playlist? When we're listening to some other shows and she asks what year a track is and I have to say, "Information not provided," she says, "That's not how efd does it."
	9:18pm JohnEBGood: Wowww! You already know!!! Legends we are all!!
	9:19pm efd: thank you for sharing that, Handy!
	9:19pm javakid: I 100% endorse Handy/Kate's comment - couldn't agree more
	9:20pm Uncle Michael: Not listing the year is weak sauce!
	9:21pm coelacanth∅: greetings efd and all
	9:22pm Terre T: @efd- If its true u were highly influenced by+owe your DJing+much of your love of music to Jimmy Mack - then I'm similarly influenced by him- albeit in an indirect way because when I was in HS I listened to YOUR NYU New Afternoon show. And worshipped u, loved yr show + the music u played! Your show was so influential to so many in the NYC area. So thank u Jimmy Mack!
	9:23pm dave wuz here: pastiche! deep cut

	9:24pm courtneynoir: [heart emoji] [heart emoji] [heart emoji]
	9:24pm Aitch: Didn't know BCR did a cover of Yesterdays Hero. Was a huge hit when I was in primary school for John Paul Young, but written by Vanda and Young (Easybeats). The other younger Youngs are Malcolm and Angus from AC/DC
	9:24pm efd: Thanks Terre, that means a lot. And welcome back to the streamwaves!
	9:25pm efd: @Aitch I only discovered in the past few years that it was a cover! Went on Discogs and got the JPY LP forthwith!
	9:26pm Aitch: JPY not related to the other Youngs I think. The Alberts hit machine with Vanda and Young wrote loads of stuff. that was covered.
	9:28pm medson: Hi efd and everyone. Can’t believe it’s time for you to honor your friend again. Time flies. And it’s great that you Keep doing this show in his memory.

	9:34pm Handy Haversack: What a wonderful thing when something you spend so much time and care on is also a testament to someone you love. That's a thing of luck and grace. RIP, Jimmy Mack.
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: generous of Brian Eno to not take a writing credit for "my sex" -the music obviously being all his
	9:38pm AS from MP: that is an amazing and meaningful acknowledgement from Terre T - whom I have missed dearly since she left the airwaves - Welcome back TT -
	9:43pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ THE SLUGS!!!
	9:43pm Terre T: @efd Beautiful+ touching tribute to Jimmy Mack -I like how u keep his name alive to this massive audience of people who otherwise wouldn't know him at all @AS from MP - thank u so much!
	9:43pm RobinSays: It was very touching to hear your tribute to Jimmy Mack. His love of music clearly comes through via yours.
	9:44pm ultradamno: The Slugs get in and get out quick but leave a big impression.
	9:46pm JohnEBGood: My friend Ronald shared the chords of Dead Flowers by the Rolling Stones around 1975 with me. He had so much personality and talent . He served in the USA Navy in Vietnam. He passed and changed my life. Ha ha haaa. Ha haa haaa!
	9:48pm efd: really appreciate all the supportive comments, thanks everyone.
	9:49pm Kenny: Evan...sorry to hear this is your last show too...we lost Blumin...all the great shows are disappearing...thanks for the memories...

	9:51pm efd: @Kenny not sure where you're getting your info but I'm pleased to say that the reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. I'm here until June! (after that it's anyone's guess)
	9:53pm Kenny: thought I heard from Ken that your show was ending...sorry......
	9:53pm Kenny: thought I heard from Ken that your show was ending...sorry......
	9:54pm Jennica: @EFD: Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry for your loss. x
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: they should've sung one chorus of knockin on heaven's door at the end
	9:58pm two tigers: Tip no Ūsiņš melatonin - tālē 1.5mg instead of Standard 3mg
	9:58pm Jenny: Evan...I can't believe this is your last show...thank you for the great quality of programming...
	10:00pm BH: weird how Evan was replaced on the schedule with a DJ who had the same name and voice as him
	10:00pm JohnEBGood: I knew you could do it! Columbo
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: no Evan you're wrong! the trolls know better than you do, don't you think?!
	10:01pm Angie: Evan, thank you for everything...you were the best...I'll miss you...
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: Is it the fool moon?
	10:03pm efd: it's the fool something, that's for sure
	10:03pm Stevel: The moon is (a) fool?

	10:17pm JohnEBGood: 104fm WBNC You never heard it so good!
	10:17pm efd: ok robert/Sinner/Kenny et al., one more of these comments and you're done.
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: idiots who think others are all idiots. waste of atoms.
	10:21pm Handy Haversack: Wore my Skeleton Crew shirt proudly for too many days this week!
	10:29pm Sam Pocker: listening while painting, glad to hear lulu lewis single on the show this week
	10:30pm Handy Haversack: Your box, efd. Click as seems most fitting!
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: "fairly faithful" i'd say. "lighter" somehow.
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: (the Dr. John song...in my opinion)
	10:33pm Handy Haversack: I thought "lighter," too, coela. Here comes the AIR HORN!
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: hahaha DO IT AGAIN!
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: that should hold me over for a while
	10:43pm efd: I'm here to please, coel.

	10:50pm spodiodi: aloha, efd! (sorry i'm late... weasels abound)

	10:52pm Joe B: loving that Strange Magic album
	10:53pm spodiodi: thanks, efd! like the new av, Joe B!
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: hey Lizzie, spodi
	10:55pm Joe B: @spodiodi - thanks, fall 2020 needs an SCTV vibe!
	10:55pm Joe B: oh shit, what was I supposed to look up? missed it
	10:56pm spodiodi: hi coelacanth∅ and everyone! (my manners are atrocious)
	10:57pm Handy Haversack: New look, Joe! Without Don Knotts. I was pretty lost at first!
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: Peter Percival Paterson and his Pet Pig, Porky aPParently had no PoP filter
	10:58pm Joe B: Thought about going with a different Knotts but Leutonia's favorite son won out
	10:59pm Chop Scott: Things are always better with Joe Block in the room!
	10:59pm Joe B: one of those good things is the airhorn!
	11:00pm spodiodi: i had to look it up, but Linsk Minyat and SCTV ftw!
	11:00pm Joe B: rick moranis' finest work!
	11:01pm javakid: Evan - awesome - get the Scream Blue Messiahs in there as well
	11:02pm javakid: *Screaming
	11:02pm efd: @javakid they're on the list! Actually had Chris Thomas on board when I tried to get it together the last time, hopefully he'll still be into it.
	11:02pm efd: @Joe I was unsure of where the Yum Yums are from - Norway? Sweden? Norway, right?
	11:04pm Joe B: norway!
	11:06pm efd: I thought so! I was second guessing myself as I was saying it. Thanks!
	11:06pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Thanks for telling us about your friend. I appreciate the year information too.
	11:07pm sufferwords: Played the Roxy on a twin bill with The Godfathers on B S W Dth tour- they wore super cool suits
	11:07pm javakid: I worked at Atlantic in the 90s and there was a yum-yum that had a sip (not even a cup) of coffee with the label www.allmusic.com...
	11:07pm efd: @javakid Chris Thompson, not Chris Thomas.
	11:09pm Joe B: re The Godfathers - At my college station in 1988 (or 1987?), WTSR in Trenton, we booked the Godfathers (well Randy Now did the real actual work) to play our annual benefit show. In between, birth school work death started taking off and someone at Columbia pressured the godfathers to blow us off for a better gig. but they refused and honored it, and were super cool to work with. on top of that they went against the label's orders and let us broadcast it as well. wish i still had the tape!
	11:09pm javakid: @efd that makes sense. the Chris Thomas I'm aware of is a serious producer in his own right but different vertical.
	11:11pm efd: @javakid exactly! @Joe, that's a great story! I'm hoping Peter Coyne will agree to be interviewed, I'd also reached out to him when I first had this idea several years ago and he was into it. Maile was very well-liked, it seems.
	11:13pm Joe B: hope so efd. either way a great idea for a show!
	11:16pm efd: @javakid will need to investigate that record further!
	11:18pm Stevel: Excited for the Maile show! (Now you’re stuck.). Razor-blade guitars. No bullshit. Almost as good as Mike Sin. (Praise his name). Amen.
	11:18pm javakid: Frankly not a lot of great things to say about it. there were other bands on Tagg that didn't get the love (and sound have) like The Inbreds and Fuzzy, got a bit more love like The Bottlerockets or, got the love Fountains of Wayne
	11:21pm Joe B: danny heep - one of the underrated awful Mets trades of all time. It's easy to get lost in the shuffle of all their terrible trades
	11:25pm javakid: @Joe Heep straight up for Mike Scott. Almost Ryan for Fregosi in it's awfulness
	11:25pm Joe B: doesn't get mentioned enough. so bad.
	11:27pm Mike: Exciting and unpredictable show as always! Great that you remember your friend for introducing you to so much good music
	11:27pm efd: @Stevel thanks for keeping me honest!
	11:30pm efd: Thanks very much Mike!
	11:30pm Stevel: efd: Great show, once again! Always enjoy your tribute to Jimmy Mack. Thanks for sharing this.
	11:33pm Chop Scott: Great Wednesday Evening EFD! Been listening, but not sitting at the desk. As always thanks for the Nat Freedberg content!
	11:34pm efd: ha, always my pleasure C. Scott!
	11:47pm Mike: I'll have to check out what all those Australians have been up to
	11:48pm Chop Scott: Cheers to Jim McIntyre---and your tribute EFD.
	11:48pm efd: There's 29 more of them on that collection! More than that, actually, since some of them are bands.
	11:52pm wfmu listener phillip: my dad was a die hard Mets fan. he got the change to see tom sever pitch in a day game at shea stadium in 1969
	11:54pm wfmu listener phillip: waa he mad when the mets traded away Dykstra and McDowell and later Rick Aguilera
	11:54pm Stevel: Thanks efd, Scott, Skeletons and DJs and the rest of us who make this thing work. Cheers!
	11:57pm spodiodi: thanks, EFD! thanks, Scott and the Skeleton Crew! cheerio, all!
	11:58pm Joe B: thanks efd!
