	12:13pm Stevel: HH: It goes, in a forward direction, so I guess its OK. Slight thawing in the midwest today. Mixed feelings, as I am not a fan of mud that the dogs drag into the house. #firstworldpetproblem
	12:13pm mrdonutsu: @Clarke exactly what I was thinking.
	12:13pm Jack McGuire: Atomic Bongos.

	12:16pm efd: @clarke I always get those confused! I should know better!
	12:16pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ☕☕☕☕☕ 👓👓👓👓👓👓
	12:16pm clarke: i should have known better.
	12:17pm HyperDose: Finally got your bean juice, 🌙🌙🌙?
	12:18pm clarke: handy tears!!
	12:19pm clarke: whoahback throwback!!
	12:19pm Rich in Washington: bean juice sounds like an old timey put down. "Why YOU! You're full of bean juice!"
	12:20pm prof.fuzz: Hi EFD! Stopping in to get funked up between classes.
	12:20pm clarke: on fiyah Davies!!!
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: It was above freezing this morning here in NYC, so my glasses did not mask-fog instantly on entering the subway and I didn't fall down. So no tears yet! Afternoon, prof.fuzz!
	12:20pm clarke: fuzzzzzzz
	12:21pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HyperDose yep! Was up WAAAY too late last night. Still have to unload the dishwasher but staying up too late gorging myself on chicken and a recent delivery of savory/salty/sweet treats from Nuts.com while drinking box red was worth it.
	12:21pm clarke: still morning in texas handy - and nice as F today
	12:22pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH the biggest challenge I have with masks is fogging...stay safe!
	12:22pm prof.fuzz: Handy! Clarke!
	12:22pm clarke: i know ya'll're probably hip to this, but i only recently discovered that nuts make me sleep better.
	12:23pm HyperDose: I've been known to go on poultry binges myself. Self-care is important! Happy to hear you gave yourself a fun evening.
	12:23pm clarke: (which, with me, ANYthing that helps is good)
	12:23pm Mister Dobalina: Feelin' this !!! Clicky star fav.
	12:24pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose thank you! I haven't done real cooking for myself in a while--finally ran out of enough basics to warrant a huge Instacart order.
	12:24pm clarke: i'm checkin' in here, but gotta pack some boxes, too. in'n'out (those are good burgers dude).
	12:25pm SmokinJ: Nice set efd! 8-)
	12:25pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Gotta buckle down at work, but will have an eye on the boards....
	12:27pm McGroovey: I bought a new antenna for my radio, but I can't find the adapter I have that lets me attach a coaxial cable to the screws on the radio old radio.
	12:27pm HyperDose: @🌙🌙🌙 With everything going on here I don't have the time or energy to make a mess in the kitchen. Found a very affordable meal prep delivery service that makes amazing food. I save about $100 every monthly order. It's owned by a crossfit gym in Lodi. They got screwed during lockdown, so it feels good to support people who really need it.
	12:28pm McGroovey: Radio: such a good word that it's actually good to say it too much.
	12:28pm Mister Dobalina: Scott Dubs & Ken sandwich?
	12:31pm clarke: oh, there's no comparison between a '45 single and digital format.
	12:31pm McGroovey: Old singles were mixed and mastered to sound great on the radio, and to sound great coming out of little speakers in general.
	12:32pm TerrDE: ? 7 inch single from '67 ? They existed then ? Not a reissue ?
	12:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose I hear you RE local businesses. I do InstaCart from a really fantastic international supermarket nearish to me, and I have had the BEST pickers. I know it's a huge luxury to be able to do that, so I always tip at least 25%. I don't envy the jobs that delivery folks have.
	12:33pm clarke: the 45rpm 7-inch sprouted in the early 50's - if not the 40's?
	12:34pm tim from washington: Howdy efd and crew!
	12:34pm clarke: it was william paley's 'answer' to the LP i believe
	12:34pm Van: Afternoon, everyone :)
	12:35pm clarke: Randall RIP - did not know about this. damn.
	12:35pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD & fellow listeners!
	12:35pm McGroovey: Most of the US versions of Focus records were on Sire in the USA. Who else was on Sire? I'm drawing a blank, but I know I have others. Renaissance? Hmmm maybe not... I'm the only person you know with a complete Focus collection. I love Scruffy the Cat. "You Dirty Rat" is one of my favorite songs ever.
	12:36pm clarke: that's funny - i listened to You Dirty Rat the other day!! (also, i may not have ALL Focus, but i have a bunch - love jan ackermann)
	12:37pm Van: Man, the rhythm section on this flies song is killing it
	12:38pm Figgsrock: So sad about Randall. Good on you EFD for this tribute.
	12:38pm Derek In Midwood: Hi Evan, Beth Ditto here on a recent outing with Earl St Clair and Jacknife Lee:https://thejacknifelee.bandcamp.com/album/im-getting-tired-with-earl-st-clair-and-beth-ditto-the-studio-with-bibi-bourelly-and-barny-fletcher
	12:38pm PeteDC: I put this song on dozens of mixtapes.
	12:39pm clarke: jackknife lee - the guy who made Sparklehorse jump the shark.
	12:39pm PeteDC: Flies - All Hung Up single, that is
	12:39pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks EFD. The Flies tune was excellent
	12:39pm McGroovey: Interesting: Discogs says the first-ever record on Sire was in 1968 by The Jam, but a different The Jam. This band was from Seattle.
	12:39pm tim from washington: Put It All Behind Me Now is a barn burner.
	12:42pm Figgsrock: OH wow, EFD, haven't heard BFMH on the radio since 1988.
	12:43pm clarke: i forgot Scruffy was on Luxury Condos
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: A bit clairvoyant with that album title.
	12:43pm clarke: but there were a few bands NOT from hoboken on that comp - Kilkenny Cats, etc.
	12:44pm clarke: isn't that Jacks (stamey) single on Luxury Condos?
	12:44pm DjLorraine: Mr “funk" Davies thanks for the clue to find July 24, 2019 the conversation with Kevin McDonald of KitH. It was so lighthearted! What a joy it was indeed!
	12:45pm tim from washington: I saw Scruffy The Cat at an in store show at Vinyl Solution in Grand Rapids MI when I was in 9th grade in 1987 or 88. It was a really formative experience for me. It was my first time seeing a band up close and also the first indie/punk/alternative band I saw. I kept up with the band for a little while after. I haven't really analyzed that experience until right now. As a 49 year old my preferred way of seeing bands is in intimate non club venues, all ages and accessible to everyone. I wonder if seeing Scruffy the Cat 30+ years ago at my favorite record store planted that seed.
	12:46pm efd: @DjLorraine Thanks for going back and listening! Glad you enjoyed it!
	12:47pm clarke: cool Tim! i heartily suggest following Chesterman's career post-Scruffy - all good, as 'they' say. solo, Motorbikes, etc.
	12:47pm McGroovey: I'm slightly lying about Focus records, because there's one I'm missing. Whenever I'm in a used record store, I can never remember which one it is, because their records were released on various labels under various titles and different art, and I have most of the songs from the missing album on compilations. I should figure it out. Yes, I should figure that out. Side note: there's a RIPPING fast version of Hocus Pocus on one of the Focus outtakes compilations. Not so much yodeling, because it's hard to yodel that fast, I guess. But boffo guitar soloing instead.
	12:47pm Margaret McInroe: Hi Ken, I’m a local combined media artist. I’m assisting our community groups in Manhattan with spreading the news about the Penn Station Area Development approval from Albany for the Vornado plan to demolish 45-60 buildings and create a business district of office buildings similar to Hudson Yards. This is a huge task and I live close to Penn Station and have been documenting the breaking news stories as well as almost breaking my arm. It’s only a scratch🐈‍⬛. I’m on my way to Mt Sinai. Please see my news feed in Twitter Artssummit _MMC. This week I’m contacting news and media outlets, just pledge to WFMU because S’wonderful prose on the radio waves of universal love. This week I’m contacting Outfront Media, have been in touch with GreenPeace, (there was even a fire drill at Hotel Penn) CH 11 am seeking media to announce news from Albany leading to final approval of the plans by Vornado. I’ll be contacting local and international artists and spokes folk. I have a cosmic connection with my Women’s Action Coalition sorority sister Laurie Anderson. We have a sound bite for the radio from Sharkey with Baby Shark. Her Sharkey Says video is really sharp. We’re announcing the news for the March 2022 rally, performance and arts event at Penn Station area tentatively titled “Forever ❤️ NYC “ The next NY .Gov event is 2/22/22 live stream of testimonies.

No breaks just PT so really am enjoying time to stretch and listen to WFMU✌🏼❤️🇺🇸🦋😁 Thanks so much and kindest regards, Margaret
	12:48pm McGroovey: I have a couple post-Scruffy Chesterman records, and they are great.
	12:49pm clarke: you type purdy good w/ a broken arm
	12:49pm prof.fuzz: @Tim. Yeah! I love seeing bands at alt-venues (record stores, taco shops, etc).
	12:50pm tim from washington: I probably haven't listened to Scruffy the Cat since the early 90s. It's sounding really good.
	12:50pm clarke: McG - is it that one with the kinda brown-rough cover?? (the Focus album yer missin')?
	12:50pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Holiday in the Sun riff
	12:50pm Micheal: Thanks for this tribute. Randall was a solid drummer, and Scruffy was a blast live. Boston was a great scene in those days.
	12:50pm Eli: I still have that Scruffy the Cat album.
	12:51pm Margaret McInroe: Me ouch, Blue Russian, Love you WFMU, 🐾Scruffy the Ccst🐈‍⬛✌🏼😁🦋❤️
	12:51pm Figgsrock: This is amazing EFD. Thank you.
	12:51pm efd: @Margaret I suggest you contact Ken by emailing him, his show ended at noon. Ken at wfmu dot org.
	12:51pm McGroovey: I know that block that's slated to be bulldozed. One of the buildings is ... What's it called? The music building? The are rehearsal studios in there that I've played in with different bands. Downstairs there's a space that was a club in the nineties called... I can't remember...
	12:53pm Vertual: This Scruffy really hits home. I was always a big fan. And the fact Randall was 58 - my age now. Played them a lot on the radio.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: McGroovey: For super fast vocal stylings, check out this week's Vocal Fry! Not yodeling but daaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnn! Great story, tim!
	12:55pm Margaret McInroe: @efd sorry typo updates are for current D.J. I’m getting an MRI, Lve Scruffy. Sorry to hear about Scruffy. So sad to hear.
	12:56pm clarke: yes = unexpectedly sounds pretty good, right now/these days.
	12:58pm clarke: the one guy who has been combatting health issues for a long time is still hangin' in there Steven Fredette.
	12:58pm clarke: (from Scruffy that is)
	12:59pm sphere: in “just like cathy’s clown,” did you hear Randall Lee Gibson toss in the drum rolls from the original tune? So sad.
	1:00pm efd: @sphere Didn't notice that - that's very cool.
	1:00pm clarke: i don't know Sphere, it IS sad for the loss - but, to pass away in one's sleep?? sounds ok.
	1:01pm tim from washington: Is Self Improvement connected to Dry Cleaning? Their sounds are remarkably similar.
	1:01pm Mister Dobalina: Solid material you're playing there, EfD!
	1:02pm Handy Haversack: Cleanliness is an important part of growth, tim.
	1:02pm clarke: ha ha ha ha
	1:03pm clarke: so is durtyness.
	1:03pm Handy Haversack: Did the levels drop, or is it a quiet song? Or (more likely) am I remembering the previous volume wrong and should just turn it up?
	1:04pm clarke: levels are slightly low on dis.
	1:04pm efd: @Handy it's a little low(-fi)
	1:04pm McGroovey: I guess the Focus album I'm missing is Focus II, which was called Moving Waves in the US. That was the one with Hocus Pocus. A big chunk of it was also on Live at the Rainbow, the songs that weren't, were on the Ship of Memories and Dutch Masters compilations. Now you know more than you ever wanted to know about Focus.
	1:05pm clarke: my guess: un-mastered??
	1:06pm clarke: that seems to be the most common one, to me, McG!! i have a (scratchy) copy from when i wuz a kid.
	1:06pm tim from washington: @Handy - I got on my list to focus daily on hygiene and grooming. Thanks for the tip!
	1:06pm McGroovey: Now I want to listen to Focus, except that EFD and Scott W are going to be on all afternoon, and then I want to listen to Ken and Andy getting electrocuted.
	1:07pm clarke: to be sure: i have Moving Waves, and i think i have Focus II, as well, but i never noticed they were the same album, ha ha ha.
	1:08pm efd: life is full of tough choices, @McGroovey.
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: See, WFMU is educational, tim! I hope the Jersey City tax assessor is paying attention!
	1:08pm clarke: my secret fave Focus tune: Janus
	1:09pm tim from washington: There's an article in today's Seattle Times about a Seattle NPR station inadvertently frying Mazda factory stock car radios with it's signal so now it's only station that the cars can get. I highly suggest WFMU figure out how to do this too.
	1:09pm HyperDose: I could hear you screaming that over the airhorn all the way down here, Handy!
	1:09pm clarke: i hope the assessor is not paying attention to Handy Haversack of Brooklyn NY
	1:11pm McGroovey: There was a 1972 European compilation called Moving Waves that was not the same as the American (Sire?) Moving Waves, though I think the European Moving Waves did include most of Focus II. The American Moving Waves was the same as Focus II. So you see my used record store confusion.
	1:11pm clarke: i do, now!
	1:12pm HyperDose: I bet Tom Dash is loving this wherever he is
	1:12pm tim from washington: I love this Exek! It's like Metal Box PiL jamming with Pop Group.
	1:18pm Tommy in Neversink: I give this EFD show an 11 on a scale of 10
	1:22pm Figgsrock: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love it EFD
	1:23pm Figgsrock: Did I buy a download of this Wig Wam song after those first three episodes? Yes, yes I did.
	1:24pm tim from washington: Hold up! Is this really from 2010?
	1:24pm efd: it's so good!
	1:25pm timinoak: I'm enjoying this Wig Wam song. A lot. Rise big sound. Bring the hair with you.
	1:26pm Yes: Greetings
	1:26pm DjLorraine: Blinkers ON
	1:26pm Mister Dobalina: Might have to give this a clicky star fav status.
	1:27pm clarke: is the Peacemaker show worthy??
	1:28pm Figgsrock: EFD, what a shame that April Fool's Day is on a Friday this year...
	1:28pm efd: @clarke it took me a few episodes to warm up to it but it's pretty good. I know @figgsrock is a fan.
	1:29pm clarke: i will check the pilot (but, from what you are saying i will have to stick widdit).
	1:29pm McGroovey: Janis is the one Moving Waves song I don't have. Well, only 8½ minutes of Eruption (22+ minutes in the studio version) is on Live at the Rainbow, but I'll survive. So, one of these days, I'll find a perfect copy of Moving Waves for 50¢, and I'll take it home.
	1:29pm prudy: wonder if these guys were active around the time of Operation Rescue...
	1:30pm clarke: my copy is fah'shit.
	1:30pm efd: it has a very particular sense of humor/aesthetic
	1:30pm McGroovey: My youngest daughter's birthday is April 1st, which is totally fitting for her.
	1:30pm Stevel: I'd like to think efd has something to do with Mouth Congress reemerging.
	1:30pm clarke: if a friend says watch _____ i will at least check out the pilot.
	1:31pm Figgsrock: Yes @clarke, it is unlike any superhero show I've watched. It has a sense of humor that is so specific. It has made me laugh more than any other new show this year.
	1:31pm efd: @Stevel Just helping them along... that Philly screening/show was in the works for a while.
	1:32pm clarke: oops - you may have lost me on that Figgs - i don't do comix/super-hero shows (or zombie or vampire shows)
	1:32pm bob Plasticland: i have the EP of this bush tetra song..plasticland opened for bush tetras ..@Misfits in chicago
	1:32pm Handy Haversack: I just got the "people you follow on Bandcamp bought this" e-mail, so I can try to predict parts of the rest of the show!
	1:33pm clarke: pay no attention to the man behiind the curtain, Handy!!
	1:34pm clarke: the Great Aws has spoken!!!
	1:34pm efd: ooh I hate to be predictible!
	1:35pm clarke: Handy just caused a left turn, here.
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: It's the circle of life, efd. Now it all goes on my Bandcamp wishlist. And so the months roll on.
	1:37pm tim from washington: I suspected that efd might just be a cover for the real efd aka Handy Haversack!
	1:37pm clarke: as in: who's drivin' this here boat?!? (from walt disney's The Boatniks)
	1:40pm Figgsrock: Well @clarke, it's not a typical superhero show because no one has super powers. But it does get kind of violent at times (and has a alien plot) so it's likely not your cup of tea. However, the soundtrack (the show's creator has a running streaming playlist) is filled with other gems like Wig Wam.
	1:41pm Alvy Singer: Singer Betty Davis, ex wife of Miles Davis, has passed away. She was 77.
	1:41pm clarke: like i say - will check out that pilot. after that..
	1:41pm Asheville Jon: i think the sun is a star, not a planet
	1:42pm victortrongasper: i got pulled over on my bike today
	1:42pm winston legthigh: good afternoon efd, lizners!
	1:43pm clarke: wow victor!
	1:44pm tim from washington: For real, Alvy?
	1:44pm McGroovey: @Victor tell us more! What did you do?
	1:45pm karlward: Mouth Conference is a totally different band
	1:46pm Asheville Jon: OH YEAH, THERE IT IS!!!!!!
	1:46pm Mister Dobalina: The horn is strong...!!!!
	1:46pm prof.fuzz: Woot! SMA FTW! Off to class. Thanks EFD!
	1:46pm karlward: Mouth Airhorn
	1:47pm Handy Haversack: AIRHORN! And I am socially mediated for another week. Doing my part. winston! Oof, Alvy, that's rough news.
	1:47pm Cecile: EFD, it's been a minute.
	1:47pm Alvy Singer: @Tim from washington..sadly it's the truth.
	1:47pm Mister Dobalina: FIRE!
	1:47pm Alvy Singer: Betty Davis passing...nypost.com...
	1:47pm Asheville Jon: what a horn medley!!!!!
	1:48pm karlward: After all that airhorn I just want to get out there and take pictures of my food
	1:48pm clarke: airhorn STILL better than the roofers next door.
	1:48pm Cecile: ooh, confidence man. I liked their Christmas single awhile back.
	1:49pm Cecile: LOL. the Jeff Healy Group is the player visual
	1:49pm Handy Haversack: We were at the vet's office and the construction site across the road blew its airhorn, and I said, "efd just got his wings," and they looked at me like they had no idea what I was talking about! Oh, they knew alright. They knew.
	1:49pm winston legthigh: handy! winston dining with winston was out of control last night. winston put his fork on the right side of the plate where it belongs. total chaos.
	1:49pm Cecile: damn, I missed a Flies set.
	1:49pm efd: Hi @Cecile, nice to see you here! Yeah, the Confidence man Christmas song is great!
	1:50pm karlward: Love Confidence Man. So much great music in Australia
	1:50pm clarke: vet's office - oh no!! bagpipe issues??
	1:52pm K8: Hi EFD and everybody! Just catching a quick listen in between Zoom classes...couch dancing to Confidence Man!
	1:53pm Handy Haversack: We were just getting the kittens Altered, clarke. winston! Oh to be a fly on the wall for that!
	1:54pm karlward: But definitely beat the cheat
	1:54pm Cecile: I adore funky kpop, but I do wish there were more arrangements that kind of pushed the envelope like that Confidence Man did. It gets to be a lot of rewrites of Rock with You and PYT after a while.
	1:54pm K8: Altered Kittens...
	1:55pm Cecile: Good name for a band
	1:55pm K8: @Cecile...I was wondering. I think everything sounds like a good band name, though.
	1:57pm Cecile: This don't cheat the beat is sweet.
	1:58pm Marie: loving this dance-y set. Hi everybody!
	1:58pm Cecile: This is good. Bah, I have to leave.
	2:01pm Yes: :)
	2:01pm clarke: Altered Kittens. love it.
	2:02pm Cecile: Yay! It's at 1:30.
	2:02pm HyperDose: Nice to hear some Ursula1000! Been cranking out a lot of stuff lately.
	2:04pm efd: @HyperDose he was doing a song a month for the last several months, but I think he wrapped that series with the most recent release (the one after the one I played).
	2:08pm brycepunk1: This Turing Machine track is awesome. Great show today!
	2:08pm minkwest: Hey Evan! Hi everybody. Getting my groove on. Must watch that Betty Davis doc tonight. R.I.P. Betty.
	2:10pm Ciggy: I 2nd that Turning Machine beat
	2:16pm winston legthigh: elevator accident? oh my god.
	2:19pm DjLorraine: Being an elevator repairman has a a lot of ups & downs.
	2:20pm clarke: PIVOT!!! PIVOT!!
	2:20pm winston legthigh: hey djlorraine lolllll!
	2:21pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Courtney Noir! Yes, Lincoln, NE, I think?
	2:22pm BillyD: Great show Evan, listening while driving (not this minute of course) from Dublin to Donegal . Fun to hear WHTG mentioned while I’m driving through Ireland .
	2:23pm _Ike_: Cool.
	2:26pm efd: @BillyD Cool to know you're listening over there, thanks!
	2:27pm DjLorraine: Winston legthigh hey, good to see you
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: I am watching a cop give a ticket to a Smart Car with a handicapped permit that is sticking 8 inches past the no stopping sign. This. City.
	2:30pm winston legthigh: gotta fill those nyc budget gaps handy.
	2:30pm Various Julius: There it is again
	2:30pm karlward: Well this is slinky, and I like slinky
	2:31pm clarke: WHEW. spent the entire last set and back-announe trying to pack this crazy-shaped turntable back into original packaging.
	2:31pm Figgsrock: @EFD--do you have any idea if there there a full Airport 77's album on the way? I have the two singles on my Bandcamp wish list and haven't pulled the trigger yet hoping for an album.
	2:31pm tim from washington: 8 inches, huh? The nerve of that driver!
	2:31pm clarke: -back-announCe
	2:32pm DjLorraine: Cowbell included!
	2:33pm efd: I believe @Various Julius could confirm, but I'm pretty sure there will be a full-length on Jem later this year.
	2:33pm Various Julius: We tracked drums for 4 more '77s tunes this weekend, a couple more songs and we'll have enough for an LP in a couple of months.
	2:35pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--that's good to hear! I really like these first two tracks.
	2:35pm clarke: cool!!!!
	2:35pm Various Julius: I'll lay down vocals and bass in my basement, Andy will record vocals and one thousand guitar tracks in his basement.
	2:35pm efd: great news!
	2:36pm Various Julius: Thanks @Figgsrock! Those two singles should be on the next album.

	2:37pm clarke: the haversack speaketh the trooooth.
	2:38pm Various Julius: The 2nd side of this Neal Francis record is the best thing I've heard in a long time.
	2:40pm efd: @Various I only have the digital, is this the side 2 opener?
	2:40pm tim from washington: Do I hear a little Run Like The Wind on this Neal Francis track?
	2:40pm efd: oh gosh, @tim!
	2:41pm Various Julius: Yeah. We have the LP. And it's definitely that Christopher Cross piano.
	2:41pm tim from washington: It's not a dis. I really enjoy the Neal song.
	2:42pm efd: I do too, I just hadn't picked up on that before but it's definitely there.
	2:42pm Various Julius: We saw him at shaky knees in September and he broke out the Whammy Clav, which is a thing I didn't know existed.
	2:43pm Mister Dobalina: Can I get an E...can I get a F..can I get a ..D!

	2:45pm clarke: you will have to buy that vowel.
	2:47pm Morphe': Thanks EFD and all !!!
	2:47pm Figgsrock: EFD, did you hear me laughing all the way in Jersey City over that "radio prep services" comment?
	2:48pm efd: haha, I knew who I was talking to!
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: There are space panthers?!
	2:49pm tim from washington: I'm picturing members of Space Panther looking like either Monty Nolder or Doug Henning. Either way, this rocks!
	2:49pm karlward: Space Pantera
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: I'm kind of picturing the climactic moments of the video for "I Believe in a Thing Called Love." You want to fight a space crab and can't cast lightning bolt out of your guitar? Then it's best to know a space panther!

Upcoming events:

Wed. Nov 6th, Noon - 3pm: The Metal District III: Kicked Out Of The Hellraiser! (More info...)
EFD’s hair-metal-loving cousin Evan “Snake” Davies was dying to return to the airwaves in October after a four-year absence. However, this request was vetoed over concerns that his appearance might have had a deleterious effect on our Hellraiser efforts. He’s back today, though, spinning his favorite ‘80s (mostly) hard rock and hair metal just for you. Don’t (or maybe do) miss it!

	12:16pm clarke: i should have known better.
	12:17pm HyperDose: Finally got your bean juice, 🌙🌙🌙?
	12:18pm clarke: handy tears!!
	12:19pm clarke: whoahback throwback!!
	12:19pm Rich in Washington: bean juice sounds like an old timey put down. "Why YOU! You're full of bean juice!"
	12:20pm prof.fuzz: Hi EFD! Stopping in to get funked up between classes.
	12:20pm clarke: on fiyah Davies!!!
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: It was above freezing this morning here in NYC, so my glasses did not mask-fog instantly on entering the subway and I didn't fall down. So no tears yet! Afternoon, prof.fuzz!
	12:20pm clarke: fuzzzzzzz
	12:21pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HyperDose yep! Was up WAAAY too late last night. Still have to unload the dishwasher but staying up too late gorging myself on chicken and a recent delivery of savory/salty/sweet treats from Nuts.com while drinking box red was worth it.
	12:21pm clarke: still morning in texas handy - and nice as F today
	12:22pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH the biggest challenge I have with masks is fogging...stay safe!
	12:22pm prof.fuzz: Handy! Clarke!
	12:22pm clarke: i know ya'll're probably hip to this, but i only recently discovered that nuts make me sleep better.
	12:23pm HyperDose: I've been known to go on poultry binges myself. Self-care is important! Happy to hear you gave yourself a fun evening.
	12:23pm clarke: (which, with me, ANYthing that helps is good)
	12:23pm Mister Dobalina: Feelin' this !!! Clicky star fav.
	12:24pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose thank you! I haven't done real cooking for myself in a while--finally ran out of enough basics to warrant a huge Instacart order.
	12:24pm clarke: i'm checkin' in here, but gotta pack some boxes, too. in'n'out (those are good burgers dude).
	12:25pm SmokinJ: Nice set efd! 8-)
	12:25pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Gotta buckle down at work, but will have an eye on the boards....
	12:27pm McGroovey: I bought a new antenna for my radio, but I can't find the adapter I have that lets me attach a coaxial cable to the screws on the radio old radio.
	12:27pm HyperDose: @🌙🌙🌙 With everything going on here I don't have the time or energy to make a mess in the kitchen. Found a very affordable meal prep delivery service that makes amazing food. I save about $100 every monthly order. It's owned by a crossfit gym in Lodi. They got screwed during lockdown, so it feels good to support people who really need it.
	12:28pm McGroovey: Radio: such a good word that it's actually good to say it too much.
	12:28pm Mister Dobalina: Scott Dubs & Ken sandwich?
	12:31pm clarke: oh, there's no comparison between a '45 single and digital format.
	12:31pm McGroovey: Old singles were mixed and mastered to sound great on the radio, and to sound great coming out of little speakers in general.
	12:32pm TerrDE: ? 7 inch single from '67 ? They existed then ? Not a reissue ?
	12:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose I hear you RE local businesses. I do InstaCart from a really fantastic international supermarket nearish to me, and I have had the BEST pickers. I know it's a huge luxury to be able to do that, so I always tip at least 25%. I don't envy the jobs that delivery folks have.
	12:33pm clarke: the 45rpm 7-inch sprouted in the early 50's - if not the 40's?
	12:34pm tim from washington: Howdy efd and crew!
	12:34pm clarke: it was william paley's 'answer' to the LP i believe
	12:34pm Van: Afternoon, everyone :)
	12:35pm clarke: Randall RIP - did not know about this. damn.
	12:35pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD & fellow listeners!
	12:35pm McGroovey: Most of the US versions of Focus records were on Sire in the USA. Who else was on Sire? I'm drawing a blank, but I know I have others. Renaissance? Hmmm maybe not... I'm the only person you know with a complete Focus collection. I love Scruffy the Cat. "You Dirty Rat" is one of my favorite songs ever.
	12:36pm clarke: that's funny - i listened to You Dirty Rat the other day!! (also, i may not have ALL Focus, but i have a bunch - love jan ackermann)
	12:37pm Van: Man, the rhythm section on this flies song is killing it
	12:38pm Figgsrock: So sad about Randall. Good on you EFD for this tribute.
	12:38pm Derek In Midwood: Hi Evan, Beth Ditto here on a recent outing with Earl St Clair and Jacknife Lee:https://thejacknifelee.bandcamp.com/album/im-getting-tired-with-earl-st-clair-and-beth-ditto-the-studio-with-bibi-bourelly-and-barny-fletcher
	12:38pm PeteDC: I put this song on dozens of mixtapes.
	12:39pm clarke: jackknife lee - the guy who made Sparklehorse jump the shark.
	12:39pm PeteDC: Flies - All Hung Up single, that is
	12:39pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Thanks EFD. The Flies tune was excellent
	12:39pm McGroovey: Interesting: Discogs says the first-ever record on Sire was in 1968 by The Jam, but a different The Jam. This band was from Seattle.
	12:39pm tim from washington: Put It All Behind Me Now is a barn burner.
	12:42pm Figgsrock: OH wow, EFD, haven't heard BFMH on the radio since 1988.
	12:43pm clarke: i forgot Scruffy was on Luxury Condos
	12:43pm Alvy Singer: A bit clairvoyant with that album title.
	12:43pm clarke: but there were a few bands NOT from hoboken on that comp - Kilkenny Cats, etc.
	12:44pm clarke: isn't that Jacks (stamey) single on Luxury Condos?
	12:44pm DjLorraine: Mr “funk" Davies thanks for the clue to find July 24, 2019 the conversation with Kevin McDonald of KitH. It was so lighthearted! What a joy it was indeed!
	12:45pm tim from washington: I saw Scruffy The Cat at an in store show at Vinyl Solution in Grand Rapids MI when I was in 9th grade in 1987 or 88. It was a really formative experience for me. It was my first time seeing a band up close and also the first indie/punk/alternative band I saw. I kept up with the band for a little while after. I haven't really analyzed that experience until right now. As a 49 year old my preferred way of seeing bands is in intimate non club venues, all ages and accessible to everyone. I wonder if seeing Scruffy the Cat 30+ years ago at my favorite record store planted that seed.
	12:46pm efd: @DjLorraine Thanks for going back and listening! Glad you enjoyed it!
	12:47pm clarke: cool Tim! i heartily suggest following Chesterman's career post-Scruffy - all good, as 'they' say. solo, Motorbikes, etc.
	12:47pm McGroovey: I'm slightly lying about Focus records, because there's one I'm missing. Whenever I'm in a used record store, I can never remember which one it is, because their records were released on various labels under various titles and different art, and I have most of the songs from the missing album on compilations. I should figure it out. Yes, I should figure that out. Side note: there's a RIPPING fast version of Hocus Pocus on one of the Focus outtakes compilations. Not so much yodeling, because it's hard to yodel that fast, I guess. But boffo guitar soloing instead.
	12:47pm Margaret McInroe: Hi Ken, I’m a local combined media artist. I’m assisting our community groups in Manhattan with spreading the news about the Penn Station Area Development approval from Albany for the Vornado plan to demolish 45-60 buildings and create a business district of office buildings similar to Hudson Yards. This is a huge task and I live close to Penn Station and have been documenting the breaking news stories as well as almost breaking my arm. It’s only a scratch🐈‍⬛. I’m on my way to Mt Sinai. Please see my news feed in Twitter Artssummit _MMC. This week I’m contacting news and media outlets, just pledge to WFMU because S’wonderful prose on the radio waves of universal love. This week I’m contacting Outfront Media, have been in touch with GreenPeace, (there was even a fire drill at Hotel Penn) CH 11 am seeking media to announce news from Albany leading to final approval of the plans by Vornado. I’ll be contacting local and international artists and spokes folk. I have a cosmic connection with my Women’s Action Coalition sorority sister Laurie Anderson. We have a sound bite for the radio from Sharkey with Baby Shark. Her Sharkey Says video is really sharp. We’re announcing the news for the March 2022 rally, performance and arts event at Penn Station area tentatively titled “Forever ❤️ NYC “ The next NY .Gov event is 2/22/22 live stream of testimonies. Links can be found through ESD and MSCC Midtown South Community Council websites. Please call me any time or contact through social media or email. Humerus bone on the right arm checked out by the Dr Anthony at Mt.Sinai. No breaks just PT so really am enjoying time to stretch and listen to WFMU✌🏼❤️🇺🇸🦋😁 Thanks so much and kindest regards, Margaret
	12:48pm McGroovey: I have a couple post-Scruffy Chesterman records, and they are great.
	12:49pm clarke: you type purdy good w/ a broken arm
	12:49pm prof.fuzz: @Tim. Yeah! I love seeing bands at alt-venues (record stores, taco shops, etc).
	12:50pm tim from washington: I probably haven't listened to Scruffy the Cat since the early 90s. It's sounding really good.
	12:50pm clarke: McG - is it that one with the kinda brown-rough cover?? (the Focus album yer missin')?
	12:50pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Holiday in the Sun riff
	12:50pm Micheal: Thanks for this tribute. Randall was a solid drummer, and Scruffy was a blast live. Boston was a great scene in those days.
	12:50pm Eli: I still have that Scruffy the Cat album.
	12:51pm Margaret McInroe: Me ouch, Blue Russian, Love you WFMU, 🐾Scruffy the Ccst🐈‍⬛✌🏼😁🦋❤️
	12:51pm Figgsrock: This is amazing EFD. Thank you.
	12:51pm efd: @Margaret I suggest you contact Ken by emailing him, his show ended at noon. Ken at wfmu dot org.
	12:51pm McGroovey: I know that block that's slated to be bulldozed. One of the buildings is ... What's it called? The music building? The are rehearsal studios in there that I've played in with different bands. Downstairs there's a space that was a club in the nineties called... I can't remember...
	12:53pm Vertual: This Scruffy really hits home. I was always a big fan. And the fact Randall was 58 - my age now. Played them a lot on the radio.
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: McGroovey: For super fast vocal stylings, check out this week's Vocal Fry! Not yodeling but daaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnnn! Great story, tim!
	12:55pm Margaret McInroe: @efd sorry typo updates are for current D.J. I’m getting an MRI, Lve Scruffy. Sorry to hear about Scruffy. So sad to hear.
	12:56pm clarke: yes = unexpectedly sounds pretty good, right now/these days.
	12:58pm clarke: the one guy who has been combatting health issues for a long time is still hangin' in there Steven Fredette.
	12:58pm clarke: (from Scruffy that is)
	12:59pm sphere: in “just like cathy’s clown,” did you hear Randall Lee Gibson toss in the drum rolls from the original tune? So sad.
	1:00pm efd: @sphere Didn't notice that - that's very cool.
	1:00pm clarke: i don't know Sphere, it IS sad for the loss - but, to pass away in one's sleep?? sounds ok.
	1:01pm tim from washington: Is Self Improvement connected to Dry Cleaning? Their sounds are remarkably similar.
	1:01pm Mister Dobalina: Solid material you're playing there, EfD!
	1:02pm Handy Haversack: Cleanliness is an important part of growth, tim.
	1:02pm clarke: ha ha ha ha
	1:03pm clarke: so is durtyness.
	1:03pm Handy Haversack: Did the levels drop, or is it a quiet song? Or (more likely) am I remembering the previous volume wrong and should just turn it up?
	1:04pm clarke: levels are slightly low on dis.
	1:04pm efd: @Handy it's a little low(-fi)
	1:04pm McGroovey: I guess the Focus album I'm missing is Focus II, which was called Moving Waves in the US. That was the one with Hocus Pocus. A big chunk of it was also on Live at the Rainbow, the songs that weren't, were on the Ship of Memories and Dutch Masters compilations. Now you know more than you ever wanted to know about Focus.
	1:05pm clarke: my guess: un-mastered??
	1:06pm clarke: that seems to be the most common one, to me, McG!! i have a (scratchy) copy from when i wuz a kid.
	1:06pm tim from washington: @Handy - I got on my list to focus daily on hygiene and grooming. Thanks for the tip!
	1:06pm McGroovey: Now I want to listen to Focus, except that EFD and Scott W are going to be on all afternoon, and then I want to listen to Ken and Andy getting electrocuted.
	1:07pm clarke: to be sure: i have Moving Waves, and i think i have Focus II, as well, but i never noticed they were the same album, ha ha ha.
	1:08pm efd: life is full of tough choices, @McGroovey.
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: See, WFMU is educational, tim! I hope the Jersey City tax assessor is paying attention!
	1:08pm clarke: my secret fave Focus tune: Janus
	1:09pm tim from washington: There's an article in today's Seattle Times about a Seattle NPR station inadvertently frying Mazda factory stock car radios with it's signal so now it's only station that the cars can get. I highly suggest WFMU figure out how to do this too.
	1:09pm HyperDose: I could hear you screaming that over the airhorn all the way down here, Handy!
	1:09pm clarke: i hope the assessor is not paying attention to Handy Haversack of Brooklyn NY
	1:11pm McGroovey: There was a 1972 European compilation called Moving Waves that was not the same as the American (Sire?) Moving Waves, though I think the European Moving Waves did include most of Focus II. The American Moving Waves was the same as Focus II. So you see my used record store confusion.
	1:11pm clarke: i do, now!
	1:12pm HyperDose: I bet Tom Dash is loving this wherever he is
	1:12pm tim from washington: I love this Exek! It's like Metal Box PiL jamming with Pop Group.
	1:18pm Tommy in Neversink: I give this EFD show an 11 on a scale of 10
	1:22pm Figgsrock: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I love it EFD
	1:23pm Figgsrock: Did I buy a download of this Wig Wam song after those first three episodes? Yes, yes I did.
	1:24pm tim from washington: Hold up! Is this really from 2010?
	1:24pm efd: it's so good!
	1:25pm timinoak: I'm enjoying this Wig Wam song. A lot. Rise big sound. Bring the hair with you.
	1:26pm Yes: Greetings
	1:26pm DjLorraine: Blinkers ON
	1:26pm Mister Dobalina: Might have to give this a clicky star fav status.
	1:27pm clarke: is the Peacemaker show worthy??
	1:28pm Figgsrock: EFD, what a shame that April Fool's Day is on a Friday this year...
	1:28pm efd: @clarke it took me a few episodes to warm up to it but it's pretty good. I know @figgsrock is a fan.
	1:29pm clarke: i will check the pilot (but, from what you are saying i will have to stick widdit).
	1:29pm McGroovey: Janis is the one Moving Waves song I don't have. Well, only 8½ minutes of Eruption (22+ minutes in the studio version) is on Live at the Rainbow, but I'll survive. So, one of these days, I'll find a perfect copy of Moving Waves for 50¢, and I'll take it home.
	1:29pm prudy: wonder if these guys were active around the time of Operation Rescue...
	1:30pm clarke: my copy is fah'shit.
	1:30pm efd: it has a very particular sense of humor/aesthetic
	1:30pm McGroovey: My youngest daughter's birthday is April 1st, which is totally fitting for her.
	1:30pm Stevel: I'd like to think efd has something to do with Mouth Congress reemerging.
	1:30pm clarke: if a friend says watch _____ i will at least check out the pilot.
	1:31pm Figgsrock: Yes @clarke, it is unlike any superhero show I've watched. It has a sense of humor that is so specific. It has made me laugh more than any other new show this year.
	1:31pm efd: @Stevel Just helping them along... that Philly screening/show was in the works for a while.
	1:32pm clarke: oops - you may have lost me on that Figgs - i don't do comix/super-hero shows (or zombie or vampire shows)
	1:32pm bob Plasticland: i have the EP of this bush tetra song..plasticland opened for bush tetras ..@Misfits in chicago
	1:32pm Handy Haversack: I just got the "people you follow on Bandcamp bought this" e-mail, so I can try to predict parts of the rest of the show!
	1:33pm clarke: pay no attention to the man behiind the curtain, Handy!!
	1:34pm clarke: the Great Aws has spoken!!!
	1:34pm efd: ooh I hate to be predictible!
	1:35pm clarke: Handy just caused a left turn, here.
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: It's the circle of life, efd. Now it all goes on my Bandcamp wishlist. And so the months roll on.
	1:37pm tim from washington: I suspected that efd might just be a cover for the real efd aka Handy Haversack!
	1:37pm clarke: as in: who's drivin' this here boat?!? (from walt disney's The Boatniks)
	1:40pm Figgsrock: Well @clarke, it's not a typical superhero show because no one has super powers. But it does get kind of violent at times (and has a alien plot) so it's likely not your cup of tea. However, the soundtrack (the show's creator has a running streaming playlist) is filled with other gems like Wig Wam.
	1:41pm Alvy Singer: Singer Betty Davis, ex wife of Miles Davis, has passed away. She was 77.
	1:41pm clarke: like i say - will check out that pilot. after that..
	1:41pm Asheville Jon: i think the sun is a star, not a planet
	1:42pm victortrongasper: i got pulled over on my bike today
	1:42pm winston legthigh: good afternoon efd, lizners!
	1:43pm clarke: wow victor!
	1:44pm tim from washington: For real, Alvy?
	1:44pm McGroovey: @Victor tell us more! What did you do?
	1:45pm karlward: Mouth Conference is a totally different band
	1:46pm Asheville Jon: OH YEAH, THERE IT IS!!!!!!
	1:46pm Mister Dobalina: The horn is strong...!!!!
	1:46pm prof.fuzz: Woot! SMA FTW! Off to class. Thanks EFD!
	1:46pm karlward: Mouth Airhorn
	1:47pm Handy Haversack: AIRHORN! And I am socially mediated for another week. Doing my part. winston! Oof, Alvy, that's rough news.
	1:47pm Cecile: EFD, it's been a minute.
	1:47pm Alvy Singer: @Tim from washington..sadly it's the truth.
	1:47pm Mister Dobalina: FIRE!
	1:47pm Alvy Singer: Betty Davis passing...nypost.com...
	1:47pm Asheville Jon: what a horn medley!!!!!
	1:48pm karlward: After all that airhorn I just want to get out there and take pictures of my food
	1:48pm clarke: airhorn STILL better than the roofers next door.
	1:48pm Cecile: ooh, confidence man. I liked their Christmas single awhile back.
	1:49pm Cecile: LOL. the Jeff Healy Group is the player visual
	1:49pm Handy Haversack: We were at the vet's office and the construction site across the road blew its airhorn, and I said, "efd just got his wings," and they looked at me like they had no idea what I was talking about! Oh, they knew alright. They knew.
	1:49pm winston legthigh: handy! winston dining with winston was out of control last night. winston put his fork on the right side of the plate where it belongs. total chaos.
	1:49pm Cecile: damn, I missed a Flies set.
	1:49pm efd: Hi @Cecile, nice to see you here! Yeah, the Confidence man Christmas song is great!
	1:50pm karlward: Love Confidence Man. So much great music in Australia
	1:50pm clarke: vet's office - oh no!! bagpipe issues??
	1:52pm K8: Hi EFD and everybody! Just catching a quick listen in between Zoom classes...couch dancing to Confidence Man!
	1:53pm Handy Haversack: We were just getting the kittens Altered, clarke. winston! Oh to be a fly on the wall for that!
	1:54pm karlward: But definitely beat the cheat
	1:54pm Cecile: I adore funky kpop, but I do wish there were more arrangements that kind of pushed the envelope like that Confidence Man did. It gets to be a lot of rewrites of Rock with You and PYT after a while.
	1:54pm K8: Altered Kittens...
	1:55pm Cecile: Good name for a band
	1:55pm K8: @Cecile...I was wondering. I think everything sounds like a good band name, though.
	1:57pm Cecile: This don't cheat the beat is sweet.
	1:58pm Marie: loving this dance-y set. Hi everybody!
	1:58pm Cecile: This is good. Bah, I have to leave.
	2:01pm Yes: :)
	2:01pm clarke: Altered Kittens. love it.
	2:02pm Cecile: Yay! It's at 1:30.
	2:02pm HyperDose: Nice to hear some Ursula1000! Been cranking out a lot of stuff lately.
	2:04pm efd: @HyperDose he was doing a song a month for the last several months, but I think he wrapped that series with the most recent release (the one after the one I played).
	2:08pm brycepunk1: This Turing Machine track is awesome. Great show today!
	2:08pm minkwest: Hey Evan! Hi everybody. Getting my groove on. Must watch that Betty Davis doc tonight. R.I.P. Betty.
	2:10pm Ciggy: I 2nd that Turning Machine beat
	2:16pm winston legthigh: elevator accident? oh my god.
	2:19pm DjLorraine: Being an elevator repairman has a a lot of ups & downs.
	2:20pm clarke: PIVOT!!! PIVOT!!
	2:20pm winston legthigh: hey djlorraine lolllll!
	2:21pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Courtney Noir! Yes, Lincoln, NE, I think?
	2:22pm BillyD: Great show Evan, listening while driving (not this minute of course) from Dublin to Donegal . Fun to hear WHTG mentioned while I’m driving through Ireland .
	2:23pm _Ike_: Cool.
	2:26pm efd: @BillyD Cool to know you're listening over there, thanks!
	2:27pm DjLorraine: Winston legthigh hey, good to see you
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: I am watching a cop give a ticket to a Smart Car with a handicapped permit that is sticking 8 inches past the no stopping sign. This. City.
	2:30pm winston legthigh: gotta fill those nyc budget gaps handy.
	2:30pm Various Julius: There it is again
	2:30pm karlward: Well this is slinky, and I like slinky
	2:31pm clarke: WHEW. spent the entire last set and back-announe trying to pack this crazy-shaped turntable back into original packaging.
	2:31pm Figgsrock: @EFD--do you have any idea if there there a full Airport 77's album on the way? I have the two singles on my Bandcamp wish list and haven't pulled the trigger yet hoping for an album.
	2:31pm tim from washington: 8 inches, huh? The nerve of that driver!
	2:31pm clarke: -back-announCe
	2:32pm DjLorraine: Cowbell included!
	2:33pm efd: I believe @Various Julius could confirm, but I'm pretty sure there will be a full-length on Jem later this year.
	2:33pm Various Julius: We tracked drums for 4 more '77s tunes this weekend, a couple more songs and we'll have enough for an LP in a couple of months.
	2:35pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--that's good to hear! I really like these first two tracks.
	2:35pm clarke: cool!!!!
	2:35pm Various Julius: I'll lay down vocals and bass in my basement, Andy will record vocals and one thousand guitar tracks in his basement.
	2:35pm efd: great news!
	2:36pm Various Julius: Thanks @Figgsrock! Those two singles should be on the next album.
	2:36pm Handy Haversack: It's in the thousandth guitar track that the true artistry shines. Excited for the album!
	2:37pm clarke: the haversack speaketh the trooooth.
	2:38pm Various Julius: The 2nd side of this Neal Francis record is the best thing I've heard in a long time.
	2:40pm efd: @Various I only have the digital, is this the side 2 opener?
	2:40pm tim from washington: Do I hear a little Run Like The Wind on this Neal Francis track?
	2:40pm efd: oh gosh, @tim!
	2:41pm Various Julius: Yeah. We have the LP. And it's definitely that Christopher Cross piano.
	2:41pm tim from washington: It's not a dis. I really enjoy the Neal song.
	2:42pm efd: I do too, I just hadn't picked up on that before but it's definitely there.
	2:42pm Various Julius: We saw him at shaky knees in September and he broke out the Whammy Clav, which is a thing I didn't know existed.
	2:43pm Mister Dobalina: Can I get an E...can I get a F..can I get a ..D!
	2:44pm tim from washington: Oh man, sorry efd! ;)
	2:44pm DjLorraine: E! F! D!!
	2:45pm clarke: you will have to buy that vowel.
	2:47pm Morphe': Thanks EFD and all !!!
	2:47pm Figgsrock: EFD, did you hear me laughing all the way in Jersey City over that "radio prep services" comment?
	2:48pm efd: haha, I knew who I was talking to!
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: There are space panthers?!
	2:49pm tim from washington: I'm picturing members of Space Panther looking like either Monty Nolder or Doug Henning. Either way, this rocks!
	2:49pm karlward: Space Pantera
	2:51pm Handy Haversack: I'm kind of picturing the climactic moments of the video for "I Believe in a Thing Called Love." You want to fight a space crab and can't cast lightning bolt out of your guitar? Then it's best to know a space panther!
	2:52pm MFlynn: Hey Evan, great show, thank you, so glad i was able to catch most all of it today.
	2:52pm clarke: nat is sounding very hiatt-like these dayz
