	12:36pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ clarke @12:34 Every time I start to think I know something about music, WFMU is there to remind me of how truly clueless I am. I can't even count how many people I've never heard of until they died and the chatboards lit up with talk about them.

	12:50pm rubleem: Thanks for the Duke Spirit reminder. Saw the band after that song, around 2010 or so, at the Saint, and they were really entertaining. Looks to be demised now.
	12:50pm CaitBrennan: Hi EFD and fellow funk fanatics!
	12:51pm efd: ↳ CaitBrennan @12:50 hiiii Cait!

	1:11pm clarke: that, too!
	1:12pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @1:07 So much music…so little time. And, hi Bri!

	1:25pm tim: Did Insomniacs and Chisel ever share a stage? That would be a killer bill.
	1:26pm efd: I'll repeat what I said in my social posts, and what you'll hear me say later during the chat: The Insomniacs were one of the first bands I really got into when I first started listening to WFMU in the early/mid '90s (shout-out to Bill Kelly's Teenage Wasteland), so it was a real treat for me to have them on the show.
	1:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @1:25 i'd love to see an insomniacs/sleep double-bill
	1:27pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:26 it would be a stalemate!

	2:35pm clarke: ↳ Al Garve @2:35 truth be told - it was pre-recorded, anyway. heh heh.
	2:36pm efd: ↳ Al Garve @2:35 oh I totally hear you!! But when you can't make it live, it's nice that the archive is there.
	2:36pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ efd @2:36 It's the next best thing to being there.
	2:36pm Al Garve: ↳ clarke @2:35 Spoiler 😃
	2:36pm newton: I remember the show last year. I talked about it then with a friend who had listened also.
	2:37pm clarke: MISTER Spoiler to you!!
	2:38pm newton: that was a great show. Upsetting story about Inga, but look how much has come from that!
	2:38pm clarke: keeley does not disappoint!!
	2:39pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "hotwire the night" by "amery" A song title that seems apt for the weather...
	2:39pm clarke: ↳ newton @2:38 it was strange finding out what's behind the tunes, but only is a nice tribute.
	2:39pm efd: ↳ newton @2:38 yes, Keeley has done a remarkable job of keeping her name alive and spreading the word about her story
	2:40pm clarke: if a travesty can inspire such great music... well, there we have it.
	2:41pm clarke: i guess my point is: i loved her songs before i knew the story behind them.
	2:41pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "it's a kind of magic" by "queen" I must admit to feeling burned out on hearing Queen. But not having heard this track in ages it sounds pretty good right now.
	2:42pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:41 SEE???
	2:43pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "inga hauser" by "keeley" New Keeley! I caught that show a year ago, what a fascinating interview.
	2:43pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:41 I'm not gonna come on here and play "We Are The Champions"
	2:43pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:42 I assume you're claiming it's a kind of WFMU magic?
	2:43pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ efd @2:42 EFD knows how to read the virtual room! OUTSTANDING show today.
	2:44pm clarke: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @2:43 there's already a few song avail on BC.
	2:44pm Cait Brennan: I was thinking "this really takes me back to the summer of '84" and then I realized that was a hell of a trick since it didn't come out til 1986.
	2:44pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:43 If you did and played it without "We Will Rock You" first I'd be ticked!
	2:44pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @2:41 If EFD had played "One Vision," you could've sworn you heard "fried chicken."
	2:44pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ efd @2:43 I'll bet you would if the Red Sox won the pennant. :P
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @2:44 mmm... fried chicken.. why i oughtta!!!
	2:45pm medson: ↳ Song: "ckil" by "love fiend" Yes.
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @2:44 not gonna happen.
	2:47pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @2:44 but, fried chicken is something that is closest available to me - Crispy Crunchy outlet a few blocks from here...
	2:47pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:44 haha
	2:48pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @2:44 one of these weeks I'll end my show with "We Will Rock You" and then open the following week's show with "We Are The Champions"
	2:48pm clarke: and Body Language!!
	2:48pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:48 I WILL PAY YOU GOOD MONEY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
	2:49pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ efd @2:48 Just to milk the antici....
	2:49pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:48 Or maybe end with "Heartbreaker" one week and then start with "Living Lovin' Maid" the next.
	2:49pm clarke: pation!
	2:50pm Ciggy: I'll get to listen to the archive of the Insomniacs whilst England suffers through todays semi-final. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 vs 🇳🇱
	2:50pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @2:47 There's a small NJ chain, the Chicken & Rib Crib. One stop shopping!
	2:50pm clarke: with a purple amararetto...
	2:51pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @2:50 and you are on the way, there, now, right?
	2:51pm clarke: ↳ Ciggy @2:50 will be watching!! should be good
	2:52pm clarke: ↳ clarke @2:51 i also like holland - so can't lose

	2:53pm clarke: spoil this: England wins in PK's

	2:55pm clarke: but, i think holland is a good side
	2:55pm Ciggy: I'm a Bellingham fan

	2:56pm mrdonutsu: Missed the whole damn show. Stupid, dumb work...
	2:56pm Cheryl The Nerd: Thanks efd!
	2:56pm winston legthigh: ↳ clarke @2:53 Southgate already saved his job.

	2:57pm clarke: maybe.
	2:57pm Ciggy: Looks like England has the same lineup
	2:57pm prof.fuzz: thx efd!

	12:03pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:01 It might have been better now than my usual post-editorial run at 1:15? I can only imagine how much worse it will feel then.

	1:10pm northguineahills: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @1:07 that's sort of where i started (lo-fi pop), that and shoegaze. but the genres expanded exponentially before i graduated.....
	1:11pm efd: ↳ Joe B @1:09 the way things are going they might never be able to play it if they waited for it to cool down!
	1:11pm clarke: that, too!
	1:12pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @1:07 So much music…so little time. And, hi Bri!

	1:25pm tim: Did Insomniacs and Chisel ever share a stage? That would be a killer bill.
	1:26pm efd: I'll repeat what I said in my social posts, and what you'll hear me say later during the chat: The Insomniacs were one of the first bands I really got into when I first started listening to WFMU in the early/mid '90s (shout-out to Bill Kelly's Teenage Wasteland), so it was a real treat for me to have them on the show.
	1:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ tim @1:25 i'd love to see an insomniacs/sleep double-bill
	1:27pm efd: ↳ prof.fuzz @1:26 it would be a stalemate!

	1:27pm Frank In Queens: Digging the You Am I influence on this one
	1:27pm Savage in Brooklyn: Just tuning in - missed some great ones. Medium Medium, Waxing Poetics, Tim Curry… Great show, as always.
	1:27pm Matt Alston: Hey EFD. Great set going today. Did you ever get a chance to listen to our (Beat Up) new single that dropped on Bandcamp about a month ago? It’s called “Never Again”. Very pertinent for the times we’re all living in now. I think you’ll like it.
	1:27pm Joe B: ↳ tim @1:25 doubtful. different circles
	1:28pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @1:27 truth!

	2:36pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ efd @2:36 It's the next best thing to being there.
	2:36pm Al Garve: ↳ clarke @2:35 Spoiler 😃
	2:36pm newton: I remember the show last year. I talked about it then with a friend who had listened also.
	2:37pm clarke: MISTER Spoiler to you!!

	2:38pm clarke: keeley does not disappoint!!
	2:39pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "hotwire the night" by "amery" A song title that seems apt for the weather...
	2:39pm clarke: ↳ newton @2:38 it was strange finding out what's behind the tunes, but only is a nice tribute.
	2:39pm efd: ↳ newton @2:38 yes, Keeley has done a remarkable job of keeping her name alive and spreading the word about her story
	2:40pm clarke: if a travesty can inspire such great music... well, there we have it.
	2:41pm clarke: i guess my point is: i loved her songs before i knew the story behind them.
	2:41pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "it's a kind of magic" by "queen" I must admit to feeling burned out on hearing Queen. But not having heard this track in ages it sounds pretty good right now.

	2:44pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:43 If you did and played it without "We Will Rock You" first I'd be ticked!
	2:44pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @2:41 If EFD had played "One Vision," you could've sworn you heard "fried chicken."
	2:44pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ efd @2:43 I'll bet you would if the Red Sox won the pennant. :P
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @2:44 mmm... fried chicken.. why i oughtta!!!

	2:49pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ efd @2:48 Just to milk the antici....
	2:49pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:48 Or maybe end with "Heartbreaker" one week and then start with "Living Lovin' Maid" the next.
