	12:07pm efd: WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON LET'S GOOOOO!!! Thanks for tuning in, everyone!
	12:07pm mrdonutsu: Forget the solos, put on some headphones and just listen to Angus and Malcolm double up on that riff — right and left channel. Truly a thing of wonder.
	12:07pm efd: owe you a coke, @Miss Georgia Peach!
	12:08pm efd: @mrdonutsu Absolutely right
	12:08pm Tome: if Powerage at the time was put into the PunK bins at record shops would have been as big as Highway to Hell for sure !
	12:08pm clarke: he's dynamite!!!!!!
	12:08pm love2laf: What a great start to Wednesday afternoon, thanks EFD, and hello to all.
	12:08pm sydnius: "Down Payment", two words. tyvm
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Just saw that Heaven 17 is going to be playing NYC. Of possible relevance to this crowd.
	12:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and the funkengrooven! Thanks for the disco danceathon last week.
	12:09pm BillyLundun: Where are the jingle cats?
	12:09pm efd: @sydnius Fixed!
	12:10pm steveo: I'm glad to see that was AC/DC because what else could it have been
	12:10pm BillyLundun: Strong start with AC/DC!
	12:11pm clarke: she got soul but.. i don't know...
	12:11pm Figgsrock: @Handy I saw Heaven 17 at the Music Tastes Good fest in Long Beach, CA a few years ago and they were shockingly amazing. I have pondered getting a ticket to LPR.
	12:12pm TerrDE: Lots of nice silence in this song !
	12:12pm HyperDose: Loving the energy of this first set
	12:12pm efd: I would totally go see Heaven 17 if I weren't going to be away when they're playing
	12:12pm clarke: i'm reveling in the Smirk show i saw last night in the french quarter - whoah: POWERFUL!!
	12:13pm efd: ooh, nice one clarke!
	12:14pm clarke: it was GREAT - also my first foray into live arena
	12:15pm clarke: (that is, as part of an audience)
	12:15pm Hoboken Jack: Hi EFD, Clarke, HyperDose, Handy, Bagpipe who is coming to Hoboken tonight without his owners, HP Ken, Medson Man, everybody!
	12:16pm clarke: MC Jaaack
	12:16pm karlward: Bagpipe is rolling solo?
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: Hey, clarke! Jack, I have pinned the PATH schedule to his collar! efd, I saw you grabbed the Jane Doe Ensemble album. I think they got in touch with you at K8's urging. One of the acts she's booked in her series a couple of times and friends of C&K.
	12:16pm clarke: Bagpipe rolls wherever he wants to!!
	12:17pm karlward: Hey I know Lansing-Dreiden! But how do you know them?
	12:18pm clarke: the starting gates are still smokin'!!!!
	12:18pm HyperDose: Bagpipe will be in good hands. Heard Jack is a great wingman! Also, hey Jack! 🤠🍕
	12:19pm efd: @karlward we've had their albums at the station for years. Tell me everything you know about them, they're very mysterious!
	12:19pm karlward: efd: you are not ready
	12:19pm efd: @Handy yeah, one of them got in touch with me and asked me to check out the album
	12:20pm clarke: ten entries later...
	12:20pm HyperDose: That fuzz isn't too muddy or screechy. A perfect tonal balance.
	12:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Weednesday, Jack!
	12:20pm luka: hey funkies
	12:21pm efd: @karlward I played a song from this album on my very first WFMU show in 2004. I'm ready.
	12:21pm luka: {marge voice} funky! over here!
	12:21pm BillyLundun: Such a clean metal sound
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: Very nice of you, efd! This track kicks butt!
	12:22pm HyperDose: Holy hell that snare groove 😍
	12:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hmmm, my misspelling up there might actually be on to something.
	12:23pm luka: @Ken you visionary
	12:25pm Hoboken Jack: Haha Ken, we'll have to wait till 4:20 to find out.
	12:27pm clarke: good wednesday afternoon. your ticket to the stars!!!
	12:28pm clarke: years schmears!! all we need is decades.
	12:32pm clarke: Back In Black
	12:33pm clarke: (as much as i LOVE Bon - the song sequence is perfect on BiB).
	12:35pm Jessie: @efd--Thought you might be interested in the new book on Crazy Eddie-Retail Gangster: The INSANE, Real-Life Story of Crazy Eddie. His story has so many tentacles of NYC in the 70's and 80's. Highly recommended.
	12:35pm Hoboken Jack: I've long hoped for a two-disc AC/DC compilation but I believe one's only come out in Australia.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: I have never heard anything from the Crystal Furs that I haven't liked a ton. What a good band.
	12:37pm paul: Didn't Love do a song that sounded a lot like this?
	12:37pm Hoboken Jack: Ooh Jessie, thanks for the heads-up!
	12:37pm clarke: @Jack - it's too difficult to just boil it down to 2 cds!!
	12:39pm paul: Alone Again Or
	12:43pm efd: @Jessie I've been hearing great things about that Crazy Eddie book, will have to check it out
	12:43pm drr: hey y'all. just arriving, missed AC/DC. I find this funny--I'm a big fan of the band (Powerage being a favorite) but two nights ago I heard their album "Highway To Hell" for the first time. (Terrific record; Angus in top form.)
	12:44pm clarke: yes, yes, David!! people think my choices are unilateral, ha ha. i am not saying the ones i didn't mention were shit, ha ha ha.
	12:45pm nycmusicnerd: drr: Rick Astley (of all people) does a pretty good cover of Highway To Hell in his live show. Plays drums on it too.
	12:47pm Jessie: 40 years ago today, R.E.M.'s debut EP Chronic Town was released. Five songs of Southern mysticism and post-punk eclecticism.
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: Dang, Jessie. Still sounds fantastic.
	12:50pm clarke: i think i got Chronic Town the week it came out - or maybe that weekend.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Spoke to Clay from Albuquerque.
	12:50pm HyperDose: Handy finally caved and bought a football phone?!
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: No, sorry, DUMMY spoke to Clay from Albuquerque. Not this dummy.
	12:51pm Hoboken Jack: I just saw Dummy open for Horsegirl; that tour was ending but I do think Dummy was continuing on.
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Here's the link for the 7": emperialsugar.com...
	12:52pm Jessie: @Handy Haversack--Yes it does. And I'm still compelled to figure out what the songs mean.
	12:53pm clarke: i need the link for football phone!!
	12:53pm clarke: PEI = EFD!!
	12:53pm love2laf: CAN CON time, yay!
	12:54pm mrdonutsu: We've now met our Anne of Green Gables Content Quota!
	12:54pm StringOFperils: A more fun PEI export than potatoes.
	12:54pm HyperDose: This is the vibe 😎
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: We saw a Prince Edward Island license plate on our drive to Michigan at the end of July! It was a real thrill. Because I'm a total dork, you see. Forty-six states and six provinces, I think, on this drive. Not too shabby. Enormous dork. Just enormous.
	12:55pm efd: oh, it's empErial! I misread the logo on the record as empOrial.
	12:55pm drr: wait, nycmusicnerd, did you just rickroll me on the accuplaylist?? Actually, that's interesting. Shelve that with Robert Palmer doing Husker Du's "New Day Rising".
	12:56pm clarke: speaking of that area, i don't think they still live in Halifax, but the latest Sloan sneak-preview song is my Single Of The Summer
	12:56pm PB: PEI - our smallest province.
	12:56pm Tommy in Neversink: I didn't know how to bring it up EFD but I've felt that you have given Prince Edward Island a short shrift ...or no shrift. Glad to see you are rectifying that
	12:57pm Tommy in Neversink: Seriously ..great show !!!! as usual
	12:57pm PB: Is Alvvays from Halifax?
	12:57pm nycmusicnerd: drr: No, I didn't rickroll you. There are clips on YouTube. He really does cover Highway To Hell.
	12:57pm efd: @Tommy maybe this will open the PEI floodgates!
	12:57pm HyperDose: @Handy Glad you didn't cave to the peer pressure. They call it "contract-free" these days, yet I'm still shelling out to the man every month. Help!
	12:58pm listener 126464: yoo-hoo!
	12:59pm clarke: now i'm thirsty.
	1:00pm drr: Oh see, I define even the mention of Rck Astly as rickrolling. I'm sensitive.
	1:00pm clarke: gonna have to pick up this Kiwi lp
	1:00pm Hoboken Jack: Hey 126464!!
	1:01pm Hoboken Jack: Clarke, it's terrific
	1:01pm drr: I'd like to get this Kiwi Jr. and also Ducks Ltd.
	1:02pm Figgsrock: A bit late to this because of a meeting, but Jon Wurster posted a lovely tale about the 40th anniversary of Chronic Town on his IG that is worth a read: www.instagram.com...
	1:02pm clarke: yeah, i AM slackin'. but, i did get the Smirk EP last night!!
	1:03pm PB: The great thing about good “garage rock” is that songs recorded in any era sound similar (and great), whether recorded in the 1950s, 1960s or the 2020s.
	1:03pm KevinfromBayRidge: HI Noon all. Great start EFD. I support your inner Dorkdom, Handy. Hope to see you this evening, Big Macher Jack!
	1:03pm zak: @PB the two orig members of Alvvays are PEI and Cape Breton Nova Scotia I think. The Kiwi Junior bass player (ex-Alvvays) might be PEI too
	1:04pm Krys O.: @Jessie & @efd: I used to work at Crazy Eddie's in the mid-80s. I'm part of the Facebook group for former employees of CE and some folks remain loyalists for some inexplicable reason. They chastised the book. I would probably read it. I was interviewed last year by some filmmakers who were planning on making a movie about CE employees. Nothing ever came of it, as far as I know.
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Did you who were musically clued-in adults at the time have any sense that Chronic Town was the start of something big?
	1:04pm drr: The only RA refefencce I can tolerate is when Nick Lowe rhymes "Do you remember Rick Astley" with "He had a big fat hit, it was ghastly".
	1:05pm efd: @drr What about the Wonder Stuff's "Astley In The Noose?"
	1:06pm efd: @Krys Wow! Weird how people stay loyal despite so many reasons not to...
	1:06pm drr: efd, don't know it but I'll look into it.
	1:06pm Handy Haversack: MOAR Wunder Stuff! Also: Darker Days! YEEEAAAAHHHH! So good, thanks, efd! We have to run out for pet food. Back ASAP.
	1:06pm drr: this song was always referred to as "Much Cheesier" at our house, growing up.
	1:07pm clarke: @Handy - i already had the Hib-Tone single thanks to a nudge by holsapple, who had just played in baton rouge. but, no - i had no inkling at how big REM would get.
	1:07pm Handy Haversack: Gotcha, clarke.
	1:08pm listener 126464: Hi Jack!
	1:08pm clarke: did you get your copy at Wax'N'Facts???
	1:08pm StringOFperils: I thought REM were simply going to rehash The Byrds in some way. Until I saw that first tour.
	1:08pm efd: @drr You grew up in a cool house!
	1:09pm Jessie: @Krys O.--While reading the book I often stopped and wondered just how in the hell did he get away with it for so long. The used goods he use to offload as new was just staggering.
	1:09pm Figgsrock: @Handy Where I grew up I didn't hear R.E.M. until Fables got played on the rock station out of Albany. It took until college to catch up to Chronic Town and Murmur.
	1:11pm Krys O.: @Jessie: Service contracts. They pushed service contracts. BTW-I was a manager in the record department. I worked in five different locations across NY/NYC/NJ.
	1:12pm steveo: The special pillow is an awesome name for a band and also they sound great
	1:14pm KevinfromBayRidge: Krys O, did you ever work at the original Coney Island Ave location?
	1:14pm Jessie: @Krys O.--The stories you probably have about working there must border on the believe it or else.
	1:14pm clarke: speaking of New Orleans: anyone in that area is welcome to our FMU meet-up this friday (in two days!) at The Corporation (in the warehouse district) at 1:30pm. ALL WELCOME!!
	1:15pm slugluv1313: The Special Pillow 😻😻😻 greetings, EFD! Funksters! getting ready to head on out, listening and digging (but bummer! missed Snatch! love their collars with Johnny Thunders too 🖤🖤) and WELCOME TO HOBOKEN, BAGPIPE!!! 🐶💖
	1:15pm Hoboken Jack: BELUGA
	1:16pm LiXiviated Life: I’m just waiting to hear Evan play Haircut100
	1:16pm clarke: beluga.... i think you scared Karlward away. either that, or he is going to fill up the chatboard.
	1:17pm slugluv1313: and a Crazy Eddie book?!? INSANE indeed -- MUST READ!!! thanks, Jessie!
	1:17pm Van: Howdy everyone - wow, it's been a long time since I tuned in.
	1:17pm Krys O.: @Kevin: No, I never worked in any of the Brooklyn, Long Island or Queens locations. I was in Hartsdale, Greenwich Village, 57th Street, Liberty Street (next to WTC), and Livingston, NJ. I did two days in the warehouse in the Bronx and one day in Norwalk filling in, but that really doesn't count as day-to-day stuff.
	1:17pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Kevin, hey Krys!! It's Christmas in August at Crazy EFD's!!!!
	1:18pm HyperDose: karlward is filling up the RV Welcome back, Van!
	1:18pm karlward: I am back! I went through file sharing hell, and I did it for you EFD. Check your email.
	1:18pm clarke: everything must geaux!!
	1:18pm Krys O.: Hey, Jack! CE is the reason why I can't stand most Xmas music.
	1:18pm slugluv1313: *COLLABS with JT -- grrrr autotype!
	1:19pm KevinfromBayRidge: Jack, August not July? Must be supply chain issues!
	1:20pm LiXiviated Life: What do you mean “You can’t go home again”? Of course you can. I do it every night.
	1:21pm efd: wow, thank you @karlward! Will check it after the show!
	1:22pm clarke: beluga!!
	1:24pm slugluv1313: hi Krys! YOW! i worked at the east village Tower stores, but never Crazy Eddie! i remember the TV ads, but could never imagine working there . . . and yeah, same here -- most Christmas music drives me nuts!
	1:25pm Krys O.: @Lix: Trust me. It was August. youtu.be...
	1:27pm Yes: boney m drew me in. hi all
	1:27pm brycepunk1: Loving the show today EFD. :)
	1:27pm Roberto: Ma Baker was playing at the local Van Leeuwen last week.
	1:28pm slugluv1313: Boney M oh hell yeah! 🔥🔥🔥
	1:28pm Krys O.: The record/video department was considered a separate entity from the electronics side and we had plaques that stated because we were part of Ben-El (Eddie's sister and brother-in-law), we were not subject to the same price beating policy.
	1:28pm queems: i like how this guy just talks in every boney m song
	1:28pm Roberto: Boney M was baking up the wrong tree when they named the song.
	1:29pm BH: "Every Post Office" includes a lot of places when you consider some of the post offices pictured on the everylot_usps Twitter account
	1:29pm efd: @Roberto A+++++!
	1:29pm tim from washington: Hi efd! Hi folks! efd - I listened to your premium n a road trip yesterday. Excellent traffic jams!
	1:29pm slugluv1313: @queems -- oh yeah, but the dancing!
	1:30pm efd: don't get me started on the historical inaccuracies of "Ma Baker."
	1:30pm wind: Love this one!!!
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Put all the money in this sack. No false moves. I have a bun.
	1:30pm clarke: where'd ya go tim?? apparently, u can't stay in one place very long, ha ha.
	1:30pm efd: cool, thanks @tim!
	1:31pm queems: @slugluv the dancing is next level
	1:33pm clarke: top gear, right hear!!
	1:33pm tim from washington: Ha! Clarke - I went to Indianapolis to pick up my cat who flew in from Washington.
	1:33pm clarke: and boy are his wings tired!!
	1:34pm efd: paws, clarke! Paws!
	1:34pm clarke: and boy, are its wings tired!!
	1:35pm clarke: paws for the caws - matthew caws.
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: clarke: I used to get a lot of cool R.E.M. vinyl stuff at Wax N' Facts -- lots of fanclub items from before my listening time.
	1:36pm clarke: i got thrown out of that record store, once, handy, ha ha ha ha.
	1:37pm drr: I just don't know what to think about music that sounds like high schoolers boasting about their emotional intelligence.
	1:37pm Handy Haversack: I don't think I ever did -- but they definitely watched us pretty close sometimes.
	1:37pm drr: clarke: what the hell did you do?
	1:38pm clarke: well, i had a friend who worked at DB Records. their office was upstairs from Wax'n'Facts
	1:40pm clarke: i was going to visit my friend and the guy at the counter was super-busy, looking at someone's used records to sell, so i just went up that ladder thing that leads to the upstairs. HEY!! the guy screams at me. GET THE FUCK OFF THOSE STEPS!!
	1:41pm Robm: Hello fellow funksters
	1:41pm clarke: well, uh, i anwered "take it easy, asshole" and the guy starts calling the police.
	1:41pm Beast of Boonton: Ma Parker was a villainess and enemy of Batman in the Batman 1960s TV Series. She was portrayed by Shelley Winters
	1:42pm drr: Oh, so really you left voluntarily.
	1:43pm tim from washington: You tell ‘em, efd!!!!
	1:43pm clarke: ... so, i go around to the loading dock entrance of DB Records - around back, and i hear this guy YELLING at the person i was going to visit. so, i barge in and, uh, had to calm him down a bit.
	1:43pm Robm: That had to be either ken or michele EFD
	1:43pm Hoboken Jack: Also playing: Acquiescing Suits
	1:44pm Handy Haversack: Always LOTS of cops ready to ooze into action in that area. Hassled us frequently.
	1:44pm Hoboken Jack: EFD, we saw Control Top at White Eagle three years ago today!
	1:45pm clarke: i love the five points!! despite that jerk, i had friends who worked at Wax'n'Facts and said this guy was an asshole.
	1:45pm Handy Haversack: We saw Control Top and Weeping Icon together on like March 6, 2020. Things were already pretty weird.
	1:46pm clarke: speaking of office rage...
	1:46pm Figgsrock: Uhhh....what did they want me to eat?
	1:46pm Ciggy: Was reminiscing with my sibling about Control Top Panties / Waistline 😆
	1:46pm drr: I succumbed to office despair. Rage might have been more fun.
	1:47pm Robm: @Handy and it got stranger after that
	1:47pm Yes: this is great
	1:47pm BH: the one timezone where it's midnight in under 15 minutes just covers Bangladesh, Bhutan, part of Kazakhstan, the Omsk part of Russia, and all of Kyrgyzstan
	1:47pm clarke: the guy tried to get me banned from that record store, and the manager laughed at him.
	1:48pm drr: Yes, this is an emotion I can comprehend.
	1:49pm clarke: i wonder what Mickey Urge is up to, today??
	1:53pm nycmusicnerd: drr: Sorry for the delayed response. I was on my lunch break. Someday I'd like to hear RA cover that Nick Lowe tune. He's cheeky enough to do it.
	1:54pm drr: I got kicked out of a record store once. I was 16 (recently licensed), my brother was 14. We went to Record Bar in the mall. And the employees were playing Buckner & Garcia's "Pac-Man Fever" for some reason. And not the single, the album, with all those deep cuts you remember. Anyway, it was annoying as hell. It had gotten to "Go Froggy Go" and the clerk was away from the desk, so, without saying anything, I walked back there and took the needle off. Of course the guy flipped out and "banned" me "for life" and we didn't get to buy any records. Definitely worth it though.
	1:55pm clarke: ha ha ha ha ha!! go froggy GO
	1:56pm Andres: Good afternoon! Yes to Yea-Ming!
	1:56pm clarke: needles to say, that record would be EFD's wish list find, today!
	1:56pm Hoboken Jack: Hoping for a Yea-Ming/Graham Parker duet.
	1:57pm drr: When I went to college a couple years later, Buckner's daughter was in my class. Talked to her once, didn't tell her that story. She was gorgeous, the Phoebe Cates of our class.
	1:57pm efd: @clarke I really thought you had a higher opinion of me!
	1:57pm Figgsrock: I still own that Buckner & Garcia LP--somehow the novelty records have stayed in the collection 40 years later. I blame Dr. Demento.
	1:57pm clarke: ha ha ha, i DO!!
	1:59pm clarke: buckner's daughter totally knew you were banned. for life. from Record Bar - nationwide!
	2:02pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Space!
	2:03pm Figgsrock: Can someone do the math of converting lambspeed to mph?
	2:04pm Hoboken Jack: They were just Burghers before and have a separate Bandcamp page.
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: efd, will the broadcast be archived?
	2:06pm clarke: sadly, the above incident is not the only time i was ejected from a record store. on my first tour thru NYC, i was in a record store and laughing at the price of one of the albums to a bandmate. and the owner just yells GET OUT OF MY STORE. glad to.
	2:09pm Figgsrock: Yeah, Kompliation Korner!
	2:10pm efd: @Handy not sure, actually
	2:11pm efd: @Handy you mean the Frantic City show, right?
	2:11pm ILikedWaterworld: EFDCC Insured
	2:11pm efd: I would say assume it won't be unless you hear otherwise.
	2:12pm clarke: this is raaahhhhhthah badass!!
	2:12pm clarke: diggin' the delay on the piano!
	2:13pm clarke: (and the vocals)
	2:13pm Figgsrock: If I owned a vehicle I would definitely go to Frantic City as renting a car (especially in Brooklyn) costs more than plane flights nowadays. The fact that some of the sets will be on FMU is great news. Crossing my fingers for Superchunk on there!
	2:14pm Handy Haversack: Then I will also just assume that K8's parents want to sit around and listen to Frantic City during their visit from Seattle!
	2:15pm clarke: assumption natch.
	2:16pm clarke: this is where Bagpipe can play the mitigator. "he wants to listen to this!"
	2:18pm drr: I looked up "cherry red compilations" and found this one: www.cherryred.co.uk... The tracklist is interesting cause I couldn't tell which was the artist and which was the title. I think they could all work either way.
	2:18pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: I’d love to go to the frantic fest too - about 3.5 hour trip from NYC via public transit… may go and stay overnight
	2:18pm drr: Wow a Vapors song that's NOT Turning Japanese! Who knew?
	2:20pm clarke: that's a pretty cool comp you found DRR..
	2:22pm clarke: Cherry Red is really doin' it RIGHT!
	2:23pm Krys O.: Medicine Head! That's a nice blast from the past.
	2:24pm clarke: if i am not mistaken, McGroovey should be touching down here in nola with his family any minute, now. unless this rain has delayed things.
	2:26pm clarke: and, uhh, Grapefruit is competing quite WELL.
	2:27pm Jessie: @clarke--Are you guys getting all that heavy rain like Dallas is getting?
	2:27pm drr: tim from washington: how did your cat do on the plane trip? I believe I've flown with my last cat.
	2:27pm clarke: all summer, jessie!
	2:28pm efd: well, Grapefruit is a Cherry Red imprint, or subsidiary, or something
	2:28pm clarke: ah.
	2:29pm drr: It's not as bad as Dallas, Jessie, but our yards are all spongy. It's gross. I did cut my grass yesterday in a brief sunny interlude, so glad I could do that.
	2:29pm clarke: when i was walking this morning, i saw a lawn-mower explode in the tall stuff.
	2:30pm drr: gotta go, catch the rest on the rebound
	2:30pm Jessie: @drr--Hopefully you guys remain hurricane free the rest of the year.
	2:30pm clarke: c u friday DRR!
	2:31pm clarke: yeah, there are two disturbances to watch as we 'speak'
	2:32pm Figgsrock: Maybe you could get Cherry Red to underwrite your show EFD?
	2:32pm clarke: @Jessie: the real dangerous thing is that there are STILL a lot of blue-roofs from last year! those tarps will blow off before the wind gets to 60mph
	2:32pm Figgsrock: The Cherry Red Kompilation Korner is a spiffy title.
	2:36pm efd: @Figgsrock haha, you know we don't do that sort of thing here at WFMU!
	2:37pm Figgsrock: @efd--I know, I know. But it's better than giving them or Grapefruit access to your personal checking account!
	2:37pm clarke: i don't need to be forgiven.
	2:38pm Picante Mint: Digging this cover!
	2:39pm Figgsrock: Gotta say, this is a very interesting cover of a warhorse.
	2:39pm PB: I once had the serious misfortune of hearing Pearl Jam’s cover of Baba O’Riley. Horrible. A note for note copy of the original. Boring. If you’re going to do a cover you have to at least try to make it interesting by changing things up - tempo, instrumentation, arrangement, etc., or else it’s a complete waste of time.
	2:40pm clarke: do you think the artists were encouraged to do the mash-up parts?? or just a coincidence??
	2:42pm efd: @clarke Not sure! I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet so I don't know if I just happened to pick the two that do that.
	2:42pm clarke: the one you played a few weeks ago had some mash-up at the end, as well.
	2:43pm prof.fuzz: gotta run to class. stay well y'all! thanks for the show EFD
	2:43pm clarke: stay dry, FuZZZ
	2:47pm Various Julius: @clarke there was no nudging toward mashups that I know of. The '77s concept was the guitar player's idea. Though I wanted to title it "(Won't Get) Substitute(d Again)". Win some, lose some.
	2:48pm clarke: i don't have a problem widdit, Jules!!!
	2:48pm Figgsrock: Oh man EFD, this sounds like it would have fit on the 2019 cd!
	2:49pm efd: @Figgsrock ... or a future Metal District!
	2:50pm clarke: or: The Plan For Van Hagar
	2:50pm Handy Haversack: Where "Funk" meets "Snake"!
	2:51pm Figgsrock: @EFD--April 1st, 2026 is on a Wednesday...
	2:53pm Derek Movie: Hey, thanks for the spin, EFD!
	2:54pm clarke: this is cool, man!!
	2:54pm efd: @Derek you're welcome, Derek DDDDDDD!!
	2:55pm Jessie: @efd--Enjoyed the show as always. Thanks a lot.
	2:56pm efd: @Jessie thank you!
	2:56pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks efd!
	2:57pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, wild. Thanks, efd! Great stuff! We might be on a Maine pond next week, but we'll catch up with youse all when we can!
	2:57pm efd: and thanks to all!
	2:57pm Hoboken Jack: Splendid show, EFD, thank you!!
	2:57pm vinylmonkee: Thanks EFD!
	2:57pm Various Julius: Cheers!
	2:57pm love2laf: Thank you for a great 3 hours of music EFD.
	2:58pm clarke: thanks EFD!! no CNSMAH>>> we'll live. barely.

	12:04pm Asheville Jon: Killer AC/DC cut, sweeet!!!!!!

	12:06pm medson: Hey efd and all
	12:07pm efd: WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON LET'S GOOOOO!!! Thanks for tuning in, everyone!
	12:07pm mrdonutsu: Forget the solos, put on some headphones and just listen to Angus and Malcolm double up on that riff — right and left channel. Truly a thing of wonder.
	12:07pm efd: owe you a coke, @Miss Georgia Peach!
	12:08pm efd: @mrdonutsu Absolutely right
	12:08pm Tome: if Powerage at the time was put into the PunK bins at record shops would have been as big as Highway to Hell for sure !
	12:08pm clarke: he's dynamite!!!!!!
	12:08pm love2laf: What a great start to Wednesday afternoon, thanks EFD, and hello to all.
	12:08pm sydnius: "Down Payment", two words. tyvm
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Just saw that Heaven 17 is going to be playing NYC. Of possible relevance to this crowd.
	12:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and the funkengrooven! Thanks for the disco danceathon last week.
	12:09pm BillyLundun: Where are the jingle cats?
	12:09pm efd: @sydnius Fixed!
	12:10pm steveo: I'm glad to see that was AC/DC because what else could it have been
	12:10pm BillyLundun: Strong start with AC/DC!
	12:11pm clarke: she got soul but.. i don't know...
	12:11pm Figgsrock: @Handy I saw Heaven 17 at the Music Tastes Good fest in Long Beach, CA a few years ago and they were shockingly amazing. I have pondered getting a ticket to LPR.
	12:12pm TerrDE: Lots of nice silence in this song !
	12:12pm HyperDose: Loving the energy of this first set
	12:12pm efd: I would totally go see Heaven 17 if I weren't going to be away when they're playing
	12:12pm clarke: i'm reveling in the Smirk show i saw last night in the french quarter - whoah: POWERFUL!!
	12:13pm efd: ooh, nice one clarke!
	12:14pm clarke: it was GREAT - also my first foray into live arena
	12:15pm clarke: (that is, as part of an audience)
	12:15pm Hoboken Jack: Hi EFD, Clarke, HyperDose, Handy, Bagpipe who is coming to Hoboken tonight without his owners, HP Ken, Medson Man, everybody!
	12:16pm clarke: MC Jaaack
	12:16pm karlward: Bagpipe is rolling solo?
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: Hey, clarke! Jack, I have pinned the PATH schedule to his collar! efd, I saw you grabbed the Jane Doe Ensemble album. I think they got in touch with you at K8's urging. One of the acts she's booked in her series a couple of times and friends of C&K.
	12:16pm clarke: Bagpipe rolls wherever he wants to!!
	12:17pm karlward: Hey I know Lansing-Dreiden! But how do you know them?
	12:18pm clarke: the starting gates are still smokin'!!!!
	12:18pm HyperDose: Bagpipe will be in good hands. Heard Jack is a great wingman! Also, hey Jack! 🤠🍕
	12:19pm efd: @karlward we've had their albums at the station for years. Tell me everything you know about them, they're very mysterious!
	12:19pm karlward: efd: you are not ready
	12:19pm efd: @Handy yeah, one of them got in touch with me and asked me to check out the album
	12:20pm clarke: ten entries later...
	12:20pm HyperDose: That fuzz isn't too muddy or screechy. A perfect tonal balance.
	12:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Weednesday, Jack!
	12:20pm luka: hey funkies
	12:21pm efd: @karlward I played a song from this album on my very first WFMU show in 2004. I'm ready.
	12:21pm luka: {marge voice} funky! over here!
	12:21pm BillyLundun: Such a clean metal sound
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: Very nice of you, efd! This track kicks butt!
	12:22pm HyperDose: Holy hell that snare groove 😍
	12:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hmmm, my misspelling up there might actually be on to something.
	12:23pm luka: @Ken you visionary
	12:25pm Hoboken Jack: Haha Ken, we'll have to wait till 4:20 to find out.
	12:27pm clarke: good wednesday afternoon. your ticket to the stars!!!
	12:28pm clarke: years schmears!! all we need is decades.
	12:32pm clarke: Back In Black
	12:33pm clarke: (as much as i LOVE Bon - the song sequence is perfect on BiB).
	12:35pm Jessie: @efd--Thought you might be interested in the new book on Crazy Eddie-Retail Gangster: The INSANE, Real-Life Story of Crazy Eddie. His story has so many tentacles of NYC in the 70's and 80's. Highly recommended.
	12:35pm Hoboken Jack: I've long hoped for a two-disc AC/DC compilation but I believe one's only come out in Australia.
	12:35pm Handy Haversack: I have never heard anything from the Crystal Furs that I haven't liked a ton. What a good band.
	12:37pm paul: Didn't Love do a song that sounded a lot like this?
	12:37pm Hoboken Jack: Ooh Jessie, thanks for the heads-up!
	12:37pm clarke: @Jack - it's too difficult to just boil it down to 2 cds!!
	12:39pm paul: Alone Again Or
	12:43pm efd: @Jessie I've been hearing great things about that Crazy Eddie book, will have to check it out
	12:43pm drr: hey y'all. just arriving, missed AC/DC. I find this funny--I'm a big fan of the band (Powerage being a favorite) but two nights ago I heard their album "Highway To Hell" for the first time. (Terrific record; Angus in top form.)
	12:44pm clarke: yes, yes, David!! people think my choices are unilateral, ha ha. i am not saying the ones i didn't mention were shit, ha ha ha.
	12:45pm nycmusicnerd: drr: Rick Astley (of all people) does a pretty good cover of Highway To Hell in his live show. Plays drums on it too.
	12:47pm Jessie: 40 years ago today, R.E.M.'s debut EP Chronic Town was released. Five songs of Southern mysticism and post-punk eclecticism.
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: Dang, Jessie. Still sounds fantastic.
	12:50pm clarke: i think i got Chronic Town the week it came out - or maybe that weekend.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: Spoke to Clay from Albuquerque.
	12:50pm HyperDose: Handy finally caved and bought a football phone?!
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: No, sorry, DUMMY spoke to Clay from Albuquerque. Not this dummy.
	12:51pm Hoboken Jack: I just saw Dummy open for Horsegirl; that tour was ending but I do think Dummy was continuing on.
	12:52pm Handy Haversack: Here's the link for the 7": emperialsugar.com...
	12:52pm Jessie: @Handy Haversack--Yes it does. And I'm still compelled to figure out what the songs mean.
	12:53pm clarke: i need the link for football phone!!
	12:53pm clarke: PEI = EFD!!
	12:53pm love2laf: CAN CON time, yay!
	12:54pm mrdonutsu: We've now met our Anne of Green Gables Content Quota!
	12:54pm StringOFperils: A more fun PEI export than potatoes.
	12:54pm HyperDose: This is the vibe 😎
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: We saw a Prince Edward Island license plate on our drive to Michigan at the end of July! It was a real thrill. Because I'm a total dork, you see. Forty-six states and six provinces, I think, on this drive. Not too shabby. Enormous dork. Just enormous.
	12:55pm efd: oh, it's empErial! I misread the logo on the record as empOrial.
	12:55pm drr: wait, nycmusicnerd, did you just rickroll me on the accuplaylist?? Actually, that's interesting. Shelve that with Robert Palmer doing Husker Du's "New Day Rising".
	12:56pm clarke: speaking of that area, i don't think they still live in Halifax, but the latest Sloan sneak-preview song is my Single Of The Summer
	12:56pm PB: PEI - our smallest province.
	12:56pm Tommy in Neversink: I didn't know how to bring it up EFD but I've felt that you have given Prince Edward Island a short shrift ...or no shrift. Glad to see you are rectifying that
	12:57pm Tommy in Neversink: Seriously ..great show !!!! as usual
	12:57pm PB: Is Alvvays from Halifax?
	12:57pm nycmusicnerd: drr: No, I didn't rickroll you. There are clips on YouTube. He really does cover Highway To Hell.
	12:57pm efd: @Tommy maybe this will open the PEI floodgates!
	12:57pm HyperDose: @Handy Glad you didn't cave to the peer pressure. They call it "contract-free" these days, yet I'm still shelling out to the man every month. Help!
	12:58pm listener 126464: yoo-hoo!
	12:59pm clarke: now i'm thirsty.
	1:00pm drr: Oh see, I define even the mention of Rck Astly as rickrolling. I'm sensitive.
	1:00pm clarke: gonna have to pick up this Kiwi lp
	1:00pm Hoboken Jack: Hey 126464!!
	1:01pm Hoboken Jack: Clarke, it's terrific
	1:01pm drr: I'd like to get this Kiwi Jr. and also Ducks Ltd.
	1:02pm Figgsrock: A bit late to this because of a meeting, but Jon Wurster posted a lovely tale about the 40th anniversary of Chronic Town on his IG that is worth a read: www.instagram.com...
	1:02pm clarke: yeah, i AM slackin'. but, i did get the Smirk EP last night!!
	1:03pm PB: The great thing about good “garage rock” is that songs recorded in any era sound similar (and great), whether recorded in the 1950s, 1960s or the 2020s.
	1:03pm KevinfromBayRidge: HI Noon all. Great start EFD. I support your inner Dorkdom, Handy. Hope to see you this evening, Big Macher Jack!
	1:03pm zak: @PB the two orig members of Alvvays are PEI and Cape Breton Nova Scotia I think. The Kiwi Junior bass player (ex-Alvvays) might be PEI too
	1:04pm Krys O.: @Jessie & @efd: I used to work at Crazy Eddie's in the mid-80s. I'm part of the Facebook group for former employees of CE and some folks remain loyalists for some inexplicable reason. They chastised the book. I would probably read it. I was interviewed last year by some filmmakers who were planning on making a movie about CE employees. Nothing ever came of it, as far as I know.
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: Did you who were musically clued-in adults at the time have any sense that Chronic Town was the start of something big?
	1:04pm drr: The only RA refefencce I can tolerate is when Nick Lowe rhymes "Do you remember Rick Astley" with "He had a big fat hit, it was ghastly".
	1:05pm efd: @drr What about the Wonder Stuff's "Astley In The Noose?"
	1:06pm efd: @Krys Wow! Weird how people stay loyal despite so many reasons not to...
	1:06pm drr: efd, don't know it but I'll look into it.
	1:06pm Handy Haversack: MOAR Wunder Stuff! Also: Darker Days! YEEEAAAAHHHH! So good, thanks, efd! We have to run out for pet food. Back ASAP.
	1:06pm drr: this song was always referred to as "Much Cheesier" at our house, growing up.
	1:07pm clarke: @Handy - i already had the Hib-Tone single thanks to a nudge by holsapple, who had just played in baton rouge. but, no - i had no inkling at how big REM would get.
	1:07pm Handy Haversack: Gotcha, clarke.
	1:08pm listener 126464: Hi Jack!
	1:08pm clarke: did you get your copy at Wax'N'Facts???
	1:08pm StringOFperils: I thought REM were simply going to rehash The Byrds in some way. Until I saw that first tour.
	1:08pm efd: @drr You grew up in a cool house!
	1:09pm Jessie: @Krys O.--While reading the book I often stopped and wondered just how in the hell did he get away with it for so long. The used goods he use to offload as new was just staggering.
	1:09pm Figgsrock: @Handy Where I grew up I didn't hear R.E.M. until Fables got played on the rock station out of Albany. It took until college to catch up to Chronic Town and Murmur.
	1:11pm Krys O.: @Jessie: Service contracts. They pushed service contracts. BTW-I was a manager in the record department. I worked in five different locations across NY/NYC/NJ.
	1:12pm steveo: The special pillow is an awesome name for a band and also they sound great
	1:14pm KevinfromBayRidge: Krys O, did you ever work at the original Coney Island Ave location?
	1:14pm Jessie: @Krys O.--The stories you probably have about working there must border on the believe it or else.
	1:14pm clarke: speaking of New Orleans: anyone in that area is welcome to our FMU meet-up this friday (in two days!) at The Corporation (in the warehouse district) at 1:30pm. ALL WELCOME!!
	1:15pm slugluv1313: The Special Pillow 😻😻😻 greetings, EFD! Funksters! getting ready to head on out, listening and digging (but bummer! missed Snatch! love their collars with Johnny Thunders too 🖤🖤) and WELCOME TO HOBOKEN, BAGPIPE!!! 🐶💖
	1:15pm Hoboken Jack: BELUGA
	1:16pm LiXiviated Life: I’m just waiting to hear Evan play Haircut100
	1:16pm clarke: beluga.... i think you scared Karlward away. either that, or he is going to fill up the chatboard.
	1:17pm slugluv1313: and a Crazy Eddie book?!? INSANE indeed -- MUST READ!!! thanks, Jessie!
	1:17pm Van: Howdy everyone - wow, it's been a long time since I tuned in.
	1:17pm Krys O.: @Kevin: No, I never worked in any of the Brooklyn, Long Island or Queens locations. I was in Hartsdale, Greenwich Village, 57th Street, Liberty Street (next to WTC), and Livingston, NJ. I did two days in the warehouse in the Bronx and one day in Norwalk filling in, but that really doesn't count as day-to-day stuff.
	1:17pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Kevin, hey Krys!! It's Christmas in August at Crazy EFD's!!!!
	1:18pm HyperDose: karlward is filling up the RV Welcome back, Van!
	1:18pm karlward: I am back! I went through file sharing hell, and I did it for you EFD. Check your email.
	1:18pm clarke: everything must geaux!!
	1:18pm Krys O.: Hey, Jack! CE is the reason why I can't stand most Xmas music.
	1:18pm slugluv1313: *COLLABS with JT -- grrrr autotype!
	1:19pm KevinfromBayRidge: Jack, August not July? Must be supply chain issues!
	1:20pm LiXiviated Life: What do you mean “You can’t go home again”? Of course you can. I do it every night.
	1:21pm efd: wow, thank you @karlward! Will check it after the show!
	1:22pm clarke: beluga!!
	1:24pm slugluv1313: hi Krys! YOW! i worked at the east village Tower stores, but never Crazy Eddie! i remember the TV ads, but could never imagine working there . . . and yeah, same here -- most Christmas music drives me nuts!
	1:25pm Krys O.: @Lix: Trust me. It was August. youtu.be...
	1:27pm Yes: boney m drew me in. hi all
	1:27pm brycepunk1: Loving the show today EFD. :)
	1:27pm Roberto: Ma Baker was playing at the local Van Leeuwen last week.
	1:28pm slugluv1313: Boney M oh hell yeah! 🔥🔥🔥
	1:28pm Krys O.: The record/video department was considered a separate entity from the electronics side and we had plaques that stated because we were part of Ben-El (Eddie's sister and brother-in-law), we were not subject to the same price beating policy.
	1:28pm queems: i like how this guy just talks in every boney m song
	1:28pm Roberto: Boney M was baking up the wrong tree when they named the song.
	1:29pm BH: "Every Post Office" includes a lot of places when you consider some of the post offices pictured on the everylot_usps Twitter account
	1:29pm efd: @Roberto A+++++!
	1:29pm tim from washington: Hi efd! Hi folks! efd - I listened to your premium n a road trip yesterday. Excellent traffic jams!
	1:29pm slugluv1313: @queems -- oh yeah, but the dancing!
	1:30pm efd: don't get me started on the historical inaccuracies of "Ma Baker."
	1:30pm wind: Love this one!!!
	1:30pm StringOFperils: Put all the money in this sack. No false moves. I have a bun.
	1:30pm clarke: where'd ya go tim?? apparently, u can't stay in one place very long, ha ha.
	1:30pm efd: cool, thanks @tim!
	1:31pm queems: @slugluv the dancing is next level
	1:33pm clarke: top gear, right hear!!
	1:33pm tim from washington: Ha! Clarke - I went to Indianapolis to pick up my cat who flew in from Washington.
	1:33pm clarke: and boy are his wings tired!!
	1:34pm efd: paws, clarke! Paws!
	1:34pm clarke: and boy, are its wings tired!!
	1:35pm clarke: paws for the caws - matthew caws.
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: clarke: I used to get a lot of cool R.E.M. vinyl stuff at Wax N' Facts -- lots of fanclub items from before my listening time.
	1:36pm clarke: i got thrown out of that record store, once, handy, ha ha ha ha.
	1:37pm drr: I just don't know what to think about music that sounds like high schoolers boasting about their emotional intelligence.
	1:37pm Handy Haversack: I don't think I ever did -- but they definitely watched us pretty close sometimes.
	1:37pm drr: clarke: what the hell did you do?
	1:38pm clarke: well, i had a friend who worked at DB Records. their office was upstairs from Wax'n'Facts
	1:40pm clarke: i was going to visit my friend and the guy at the counter was super-busy, looking at someone's used records to sell, so i just went up that ladder thing that leads to the upstairs. HEY!! the guy screams at me. GET THE FUCK OFF THOSE STEPS!!
	1:41pm Robm: Hello fellow funksters
	1:41pm clarke: well, uh, i anwered "take it easy, asshole" and the guy starts calling the police.
	1:41pm Beast of Boonton: Ma Parker was a villainess and enemy of Batman in the Batman 1960s TV Series. She was portrayed by Shelley Winters
	1:42pm drr: Oh, so really you left voluntarily.
	1:43pm tim from washington: You tell ‘em, efd!!!!
	1:43pm clarke: ... so, i go around to the loading dock entrance of DB Records - around back, and i hear this guy YELLING at the person i was going to visit. so, i barge in and, uh, had to calm him down a bit.
	1:43pm Robm: That had to be either ken or michele EFD
	1:43pm Hoboken Jack: Also playing: Acquiescing Suits
	1:44pm Handy Haversack: Always LOTS of cops ready to ooze into action in that area. Hassled us frequently.
	1:44pm Hoboken Jack: EFD, we saw Control Top at White Eagle three years ago today!
	1:45pm clarke: i love the five points!! despite that jerk, i had friends who worked at Wax'n'Facts and said this guy was an asshole.
	1:45pm Handy Haversack: We saw Control Top and Weeping Icon together on like March 6, 2020. Things were already pretty weird.
	1:46pm clarke: speaking of office rage...
	1:46pm Figgsrock: Uhhh....what did they want me to eat?
	1:46pm Ciggy: Was reminiscing with my sibling about Control Top Panties / Waistline 😆
	1:46pm drr: I succumbed to office despair. Rage might have been more fun.
	1:47pm Robm: @Handy and it got stranger after that
	1:47pm Yes: this is great
	1:47pm BH: the one timezone where it's midnight in under 15 minutes just covers Bangladesh, Bhutan, part of Kazakhstan, the Omsk part of Russia, and all of Kyrgyzstan
	1:47pm clarke: the guy tried to get me banned from that record store, and the manager laughed at him.
	1:48pm drr: Yes, this is an emotion I can comprehend.
	1:49pm clarke: i wonder what Mickey Urge is up to, today??
	1:53pm nycmusicnerd: drr: Sorry for the delayed response. I was on my lunch break. Someday I'd like to hear RA cover that Nick Lowe tune. He's cheeky enough to do it.
	1:54pm drr: I got kicked out of a record store once. I was 16 (recently licensed), my brother was 14. We went to Record Bar in the mall. And the employees were playing Buckner & Garcia's "Pac-Man Fever" for some reason. And not the single, the album, with all those deep cuts you remember. Anyway, it was annoying as hell. It had gotten to "Go Froggy Go" and the clerk was away from the desk, so, without saying anything, I walked back there and took the needle off. Of course the guy flipped out and "banned" me "for life" and we didn't get to buy any records. Definitely worth it though.
	1:55pm clarke: ha ha ha ha ha!! go froggy GO
	1:56pm Andres: Good afternoon! Yes to Yea-Ming!
	1:56pm clarke: needles to say, that record would be EFD's wish list find, today!
	1:56pm Hoboken Jack: Hoping for a Yea-Ming/Graham Parker duet.
	1:57pm drr: When I went to college a couple years later, Buckner's daughter was in my class. Talked to her once, didn't tell her that story. She was gorgeous, the Phoebe Cates of our class.
	1:57pm efd: @clarke I really thought you had a higher opinion of me!
	1:57pm Figgsrock: I still own that Buckner & Garcia LP--somehow the novelty records have stayed in the collection 40 years later. I blame Dr. Demento.
	1:57pm clarke: ha ha ha, i DO!!
	1:59pm clarke: buckner's daughter totally knew you were banned. for life. from Record Bar - nationwide!
	2:02pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Space!
	2:03pm Figgsrock: Can someone do the math of converting lambspeed to mph?
	2:04pm Hoboken Jack: They were just Burghers before and have a separate Bandcamp page.
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: efd, will the broadcast be archived?
	2:06pm clarke: sadly, the above incident is not the only time i was ejected from a record store. on my first tour thru NYC, i was in a record store and laughing at the price of one of the albums to a bandmate. and the owner just yells GET OUT OF MY STORE. glad to.
	2:09pm Figgsrock: Yeah, Kompliation Korner!
	2:10pm efd: @Handy not sure, actually
	2:11pm efd: @Handy you mean the Frantic City show, right?
	2:11pm ILikedWaterworld: EFDCC Insured
	2:11pm efd: I would say assume it won't be unless you hear otherwise.
	2:12pm clarke: this is raaahhhhhthah badass!!
	2:12pm clarke: diggin' the delay on the piano!
	2:13pm clarke: (and the vocals)
	2:13pm Figgsrock: If I owned a vehicle I would definitely go to Frantic City as renting a car (especially in Brooklyn) costs more than plane flights nowadays. The fact that some of the sets will be on FMU is great news. Crossing my fingers for Superchunk on there!
	2:14pm Handy Haversack: Then I will also just assume that K8's parents want to sit around and listen to Frantic City during their visit from Seattle!
	2:15pm clarke: assumption natch.
	2:16pm clarke: this is where Bagpipe can play the mitigator. "he wants to listen to this!"
	2:18pm drr: I looked up "cherry red compilations" and found this one: www.cherryred.co.uk... The tracklist is interesting cause I couldn't tell which was the artist and which was the title. I think they could all work either way.
	2:18pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: I’d love to go to the frantic fest too - about 3.5 hour trip from NYC via public transit… may go and stay overnight
	2:18pm drr: Wow a Vapors song that's NOT Turning Japanese! Who knew?
	2:20pm clarke: that's a pretty cool comp you found DRR..
	2:22pm clarke: Cherry Red is really doin' it RIGHT!
	2:23pm Krys O.: Medicine Head! That's a nice blast from the past.
	2:24pm clarke: if i am not mistaken, McGroovey should be touching down here in nola with his family any minute, now. unless this rain has delayed things.
	2:26pm clarke: and, uhh, Grapefruit is competing quite WELL.
	2:27pm Jessie: @clarke--Are you guys getting all that heavy rain like Dallas is getting?
	2:27pm drr: tim from washington: how did your cat do on the plane trip? I believe I've flown with my last cat.
	2:27pm clarke: all summer, jessie!
	2:28pm efd: well, Grapefruit is a Cherry Red imprint, or subsidiary, or something
	2:28pm clarke: ah.
	2:29pm drr: It's not as bad as Dallas, Jessie, but our yards are all spongy. It's gross. I did cut my grass yesterday in a brief sunny interlude, so glad I could do that.
	2:29pm clarke: when i was walking this morning, i saw a lawn-mower explode in the tall stuff.
	2:30pm drr: gotta go, catch the rest on the rebound
	2:30pm Jessie: @drr--Hopefully you guys remain hurricane free the rest of the year.
	2:30pm clarke: c u friday DRR!
	2:31pm clarke: yeah, there are two disturbances to watch as we 'speak'
	2:32pm Figgsrock: Maybe you could get Cherry Red to underwrite your show EFD?
	2:32pm clarke: @Jessie: the real dangerous thing is that there are STILL a lot of blue-roofs from last year! those tarps will blow off before the wind gets to 60mph
	2:32pm Figgsrock: The Cherry Red Kompilation Korner is a spiffy title.
	2:36pm efd: @Figgsrock haha, you know we don't do that sort of thing here at WFMU!
	2:37pm Figgsrock: @efd--I know, I know. But it's better than giving them or Grapefruit access to your personal checking account!
	2:37pm clarke: i don't need to be forgiven.
	2:38pm Picante Mint: Digging this cover!
	2:39pm Figgsrock: Gotta say, this is a very interesting cover of a warhorse.
	2:39pm PB: I once had the serious misfortune of hearing Pearl Jam’s cover of Baba O’Riley. Horrible. A note for note copy of the original. Boring. If you’re going to do a cover you have to at least try to make it interesting by changing things up - tempo, instrumentation, arrangement, etc., or else it’s a complete waste of time.
	2:40pm clarke: do you think the artists were encouraged to do the mash-up parts?? or just a coincidence??
	2:42pm efd: @clarke Not sure! I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet so I don't know if I just happened to pick the two that do that.
	2:42pm clarke: the one you played a few weeks ago had some mash-up at the end, as well.
	2:43pm prof.fuzz: gotta run to class. stay well y'all! thanks for the show EFD
	2:43pm clarke: stay dry, FuZZZ
	2:47pm Various Julius: @clarke there was no nudging toward mashups that I know of. The '77s concept was the guitar player's idea. Though I wanted to title it "(Won't Get) Substitute(d Again)". Win some, lose some.
	2:48pm clarke: i don't have a problem widdit, Jules!!!
	2:48pm Figgsrock: Oh man EFD, this sounds like it would have fit on the 2019 cd!
	2:49pm efd: @Figgsrock ... or a future Metal District!
	2:50pm clarke: or: The Plan For Van Hagar
	2:50pm Handy Haversack: Where "Funk" meets "Snake"!
	2:51pm Figgsrock: @EFD--April 1st, 2026 is on a Wednesday...
	2:53pm Derek Movie: Hey, thanks for the spin, EFD!
	2:54pm clarke: this is cool, man!!
	2:54pm efd: @Derek you're welcome, Derek DDDDDDD!!
	2:55pm Jessie: @efd--Enjoyed the show as always. Thanks a lot.
	2:56pm efd: @Jessie thank you!
	2:56pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks efd!
	2:57pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, wild. Thanks, efd! Great stuff! We might be on a Maine pond next week, but we'll catch up with youse all when we can!
	2:57pm efd: and thanks to all!
	2:57pm Hoboken Jack: Splendid show, EFD, thank you!!
	2:57pm vinylmonkee: Thanks EFD!
	2:57pm Various Julius: Cheers!
	2:57pm love2laf: Thank you for a great 3 hours of music EFD.
	2:58pm clarke: thanks EFD!! no CNSMAH>>> we'll live. barely.
