	12:02pm HyperDose: Ah drats, the interview coincides with my ENT follow-up. Thank goodness for the archives!
	12:02pm UFOspecialist: Spinal Tap 2???
	12:04pm ChukAmok: @HyperDose just ask them to install a bluetooth speaker in your sinuses and you'll never again be left wanting!
	12:04pm Carmichael: In a Zoom meeting, but hello.

	12:05pm ChukAmok: Happy Funky Hump Day Handy!
	♥ 12:05pm tim from washington: evan 'boogie' davies!!!!! Hi everyone. I'm looking forward to today's interview.
	♥ 12:06pm sydnius: I'd love to ask Bruce: "As a McCullough, in your opinion, who's crazier, the McLaughlins or the McGees?"
	♥ 12:06pm chris_in_space: hey @Handy and all y'all
	12:06pm Will: Ouch! 1971 is back, warts and all.
	♥ 12:07pm steveo: epic bassline ooh yeah
	♥ 12:08pm G: Saw Elvis C at JazzFest a couple weeks back. He still brings it.
	♥ 12:08pm tim from washington: Nice! I listened to Elvis' latest record "A Boy Called If". It is excellent. I think what I most appreciate about it is how the recorded sounds. It's not super slick and over produced. The songs speak for themself.
	♥ 12:09pm tim from washington: @steveo - sorry to be a know-it-all but I think this record was on Columbia not Epic.
	♥ 12:09pm Handy Haversack: (I'm hoping that Wefdnesday catches on! Maybe the courtneynoir Social Media Airhorn will notice it and signal-boost!)
	12:10pm Secret Monkey Jefferson: Greettngs from Secret Monkey Headquarters, Durham NC!
	♥ 12:10pm efd: @tim you are the Portrait of a pedant ;)
	12:10pm Carmichael: I will note early and for the record that I am a Rider on the Storm.
	♥ 12:11pm Handy Haversack: Amazing how contemporary this still sounds.
	12:11pm Michael Shelley: Thanks evan
	♥ 12:11pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, Krys, HyperD, Handy, shame-based Bagpipe, everybody! Secret hi to Secret Monkey friends of Charlie Shaw!
	♥ 12:11pm tim from washington: Aw, thanks efd. I've always wanted my portrait on a pendant.
	♥ 12:11pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	♥ 12:12pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Michael!
	♥ 12:12pm courtneynoir: I kinda feel bad that I, a lady who is bad at social media, adopted the Social Media Airhorn
	12:12pm Neebz: X-teens album from 1880? That's gotta be some kind of record
	♥ 12:12pm courtneynoir: But I DID social media this Brucio show!
	♥ 12:13pm steveo: haha Tim. your comment confused me for a moment (what doesn't, honestly)
	♥ 12:13pm Hoboken Jack: Courtney, I'm so jealous!
	♥ 12:13pm efd: @Neebs Thomas Edison assisted Dixon on that one
	♥ 12:13pm pgalub: Hey efd, JAAAAACK, Handy, Michael and everyone. The 1880s were a great decade for pop!
	♥ 12:14pm Handy Haversack: Pete! I wonder how the x-teens reacted to the 1910s. Seems like it would have been a hard decade for their act.
	12:15pm Listener Bop Monroe: "...and you know who told me?! Jim Fucking Morrison!!"
	12:15pm Frank Zaatar: @Neebz: Not a record, a cylinder.
	♥ 12:16pm courtneynoir: @Listener Bop- that is soooo may fave part of that song/sketch and it pops into my head, randomly, all the time
	♥ 12:16pm Hoboken Jack: Peeeeete!! Can't we get some Scott Joplin up in this jam?
	12:16pm HyperDose: Hey Handy + Jack! Good idea Chuk, I'll ask 👃🏾‍🔊
	♥ 12:16pm tim from washington: @stevo - no problem. Confusion comes frequently to me too.
	♥ 12:17pm tim from washington: Yes! Downliners Sect! The blueprint for Thee Headcoats and The Headcoatees.
	12:18pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Fun fact: Scott Joplin is buried within walking distance from me
	♥ 12:19pm Hoboken Jack: That is a fun fact, JetBoy!
	♥ 12:19pm DjLorraine: I'm digging the show. I'm excited for the Bruce McCulloch interview! (omg)
	♥ 12:20pm Will the Sound Guy: Good afternoon efd and all!!
	♥ 12:20pm efd: @Michael, were you the DJ talking about the mouse in Studio A recently? It's borderline unusable.
	♥ 12:21pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Will!
	♥ 12:22pm medson: Hey Evan and all
	♥ 12:22pm G: That mouse is a rat.
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: Indeed it was me. Our second mouse problem at WfMU
	♥ 12:22pm Hoboken Jack: Medson Man!
	12:23pm DouglasInDallas: @EFD, there's only one mouse in Studio A? Think WFMU would be crawling with them
	♥ 12:23pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD & Listeners! Hey Handy, courtneynoir, Hoboken Jack, Will the Sound Guy!
	♥ 12:24pm Jessie: Alex Chilton playing the drums on this Chris Stamey track.
	♥ 12:24pm Bryant in TO: Hey, efd et al! Looking forward a Doors set this afternoon and perhaps an ode to "the bass player."
	12:24pm Andres: Hi, Evan and funksters! Digging the tunes and excited for the interview. Anyone know if KITH fans have a nickname?
	♥ 12:24pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy Mike!
	12:24pm UFOspecialist: Always crashing...
	♥ 12:25pm courtneynoir: @Andres - Good KITHers?
	♥ 12:25pm efd: I wish I'd been paying closer attention, I'm pretty sure I have an old mouse at home I could have brought in.
	♥ 12:25pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mike!
	♥ 12:25pm Hoboken Jack: KITH & Kin?
	♥ 12:25pm courtneynoir: Buddy HALLys?
	♥ 12:26pm Handy Haversack: Maybe WFMU could use a cat? I actually have an extra ... en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 12:26pm Bryant in TO: @courtneynoir That's an appropriate name on a few levels
	♥ 12:27pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BOWIE Need this. Showering soon, Zoom meeting later and I can't be all disheveled and nekkid.
	♥ 12:27pm yerfriendpaul: Hey EFD, everyone!
	12:27pm Secret Monkey Jefferson: I used to play The Summer Sun with Chris Stamey when I was in his band in the mid 90s.
	12:27pm DouglasInDallas: @Handy I lost my cats in the divorce. If WFMU doesn't want your extra one, mail it to me....
	♥ 12:30pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Hoboken Jack, medson, Michael Shelley, Douglas, Mike BK, Jessie, Brayant, Andres, UFOspc, courtneyrnoir, Handy, Threemoons, yerfriendpaul, Secret Monkey, and others!!!
	♥ 12:31pm courtneynoir: Well now I just wanna start a band called The Chers .......
	12:32pm The Last Phillip: Did @Ken- post the summer schedule yet,? Anyone?
	♥ 12:33pm Will the Sound Guy: Phillip, I think it's too early normally a week or so before
	♥ 12:34pm tim from washington: I agree that the Nuggets II box set is most excellent. I've seen it around used at record stores for a decent price.
	♥ 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Is the mouse why everyone was in Studio B yesterday?
	♥ 12:36pm Micheal: Hiding from the cat?
	12:36pm Beast of Boonton: Is the ball mouse filled with head hair again?
	♥ 12:36pm Uleeshuh TN: is it the old rollerball mouse that gets the gunk in it?
	♥ 12:37pm Hoboken Jack: Longines Symphonette, hello!!
	♥ 12:37pm efd: the problem is the scroll wheel. It's super slippery and very hard to get a grip on it and scroll the page.
	♥ 12:37pm efd: oh good call, Jack!
	♥ 12:37pm efd: but was Wittnauer in on that??
	12:39pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Handy - I was wondering why everyone was in studio B yesterday too!
	12:40pm Van: Howdy EFD and crew. It's been a long time since I have been able to tune in... work is a four letter word, seriously, look it up
	12:40pm Andres: courtneynoir and Hoboken Jack: Excellent suggestions. Taking it to the committee for a vote.
	♥ 12:40pm efd: I don't think broadcasting from Studio B yesterday had anything to do with the mouse in studio A. There's been some maintenance going on the last couple of weeks.
	♥ 12:41pm Bryant in TO: Can always depend on you to spin some Kid Gulliver! Thanks, efd!
	♥ 12:43pm efd: Scott has come to the rescue with a replacement mouse!
	♥ 12:43pm efd: one of the advantages of doing a show at a time when other people are in the building!
	♥ 12:45pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Scott for bringing efd a working mouse 🐀🐁🐀🐁
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: Scott WIlliams - volunteer wrassler and animal trainer.
	12:46pm Secret Monkey Jefferson: That distinctive Mac voice / Superchunk. The more time goes on, it seems that Superchunk and Doleful Lions have a remarkably similar sound. I think it's the maturation of Mac's voice. And that's a good thing.
	♥ 12:47pm courtneynoir: I thought I heard my horn for a sec
	♥ 12:48pm efd: maybe later, Courtney!
	♥ 12:51pm courtneynoir: @efd I live in Nebraska, I have so little to look forward to ha ha ha
	♥ 12:53pm tim from washington: @courtney - Nebraska doesn't have the daily noon Civil Defense siren tests? ;)
	12:53pm ChukAmok: Hi courtneynoir!
	12:54pm clarke: why hello fellow listeners and EFD!
	♥ 12:54pm courtneynoir: @Tim - only on Wednesdays and, frankly, I'm concerned they haven't done any of them this year
	12:55pm Carmichael: OK, back in black!
	♥ 12:55pm tim from washington: @courtney - Oh no! That is worrisome.
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: courtneynoir, there comes a time when every patriot has to take civil defense into their own hands. Let's get you a siren! Yo, clarke!
	♥ 12:56pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Clarke!
	♥ 12:57pm courtneynoir: @Handy - I have an AIRHORN!
	12:57pm clarke: just walked around the entire City Park with friends (Marconi Meadows NOT inclusive).
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: It's all coming together, courtneynoir!!
	12:58pm clarke: there were NO airhorns present that i could detect.
	12:59pm NYsoul living in another place: Fabulous playlist! Thank you so much
	1:00pm clarke: Summer Sun was a prescient tune just played on this show!! whew. it's here in nola: The BIG Heat!!
	1:01pm ChukAmok: My airhorn is mostly to scare bears away.
	♥ 1:03pm courtneynoir: Egads the lyrics "Some days I work/I work alone" did not seem predictive when I saw this movie in the theatre a hundred years ago
	♥ 1:04pm McGroovey: Doors Fan is a bona-fie-dee WFMU hit!
	1:05pm Peter: Brain Candy was a hilarious movie. Still relevant today. Sad that it didn't do well when it was released.
	♥ 1:06pm courtneynoir: No truer words have ever been uttered: Greatest hits albums are for housewives and little girls.
	♥ 1:06pm Figgsrock: I played this Shame-Based Man track on my Alt specialty show in 1993 (on a hard rock station) and boy oh boy did some people get ticked off about it.
	♥ 1:07pm Krys O.: @Peter: If you watch the first episode of the new series, you will be heartened to find out that it all works out for the revenue for Brain Candy.
	♥ 1:07pm tim from washington: @Peter - you just inspired me to request Brain Candy from my local library.
	♥ 1:07pm efd: i had a note about where that Jim effing Morrison line was but I got distracted
	♥ 1:07pm MikeM: Just watched Brain Candy again last week in anticipation of the new KITH season. Still hilarious, maybe even more so.
	♥ 1:07pm efd: @Courtney I love that line!
	1:07pm TVP: JIM FUCKIN MORRISON!
	♥ 1:08pm Frank In Queens: Oh no, did I miss it or has it not started yet?
	1:08pm Peter: Haha nice!
	1:08pm Carmichael: EFD's playing him in ...
	♥ 1:08pm Figgsrock: @EFD--I am pretty sure that Atlantic had a radio edit made at the time. It was the only way I could have played it.
	1:08pm clarke: hello Frank - hasn't started yet
	1:09pm clarke: how was the red-eye Frank??
	♥ 1:10pm efd: THAT VOICE
	♥ 1:10pm Frank In Queens: OK, good. Clarke, the red-eye lived up to its name. Barely slept on the flight or at all yesterday. Woke up for work today and felt like I had been beaten with a bat.
	♥ 1:10pm Micheal: Bruce always sported the best mullet in all of Canada.
	1:10pm clarke: yikes. yipe!!
	♥ 1:10pm Krys O.: I had a VHS copy of Brain Candy that grew legs and walked off with somebody. I recently bought a DVD copy and watched it for the umpteenth time. Still love it. I also saw it in the theater the first time around.
	♥ 1:11pm courtneynoir: I got early COVID at a Bruce McCulloch show in Wisconsin a few weeks before lockdown and it was worth it .... even though I couldn't breathe for 3 weeks
	♥ 1:12pm DjLorraine: Oh exciting!
	1:13pm Peter: Always thought Bruce's delivery was the funniest on the show. Esp the odd head movements lol
	♥ 1:14pm efd: Bruce immediately endearing himself to the WFMU audience by mentioning the Feelies!
	1:14pm Carmichael: I loved his song about terriers.
	♥ 1:14pm efd: @Peter and his hand movements!
	♥ 1:14pm courtneynoir: @efd this is true and I hate it and love it - know thyself
	♥ 1:15pm efd: @Carmichael don't stray too far from your listening device!
	1:15pm Andres: I hope the money truck did show up.
	1:15pm Carmichael: Ya buddy!
	♥ 1:15pm The Oscar: Afternoon! New KITH is just so so good, and I've always considered Shame Based Man one of the great overlooked albums of the '90s. Great interview!
	♥ 1:16pm courtneynoir: Wait - is this THE Bruce McCulloch from Anne Of Avonlea?!?!
	1:17pm Carmichael: The same, Courtney.
	1:19pm Essdog: Season 6 of KITH is egg-cell-ant! Just wish they could do it in front of a "live studio audience" tho. IMO, that's the only thing missing that could really round it out.
	♥ 1:19pm Nardo: The new show doesn't miss a beat and is quite audacious even compared with the original.
	♥ 1:20pm DjLorraine: Bruce with that sweet innocent face playing all those different characters perfectly.
	♥ 1:20pm tim from washington: Bruce said he does touring with The Moth? What's that?
	♥ 1:20pm courtneynoir: It is such a funny show - even stories you've heard before. Just seeing him talk about them live in front of you is just exhilarating
	1:21pm Andres: From his tweeter: "I sure hope they have an Anne of Green Gables booth this year at comicon so i can FINALLY go..."
	♥ 1:22pm efd: good grief, sorry about that skip at the beginning of "Love You More!"
	♥ 1:22pm Erin in TO: I just love to listen to Bruce, he was always my fave in KITH
	♥ 1:22pm The Spoony: Hell yeah, Toronto's got a fantastic punk scene.
	1:22pm clarke: it was gr8
	♥ 1:22pm The Oscar: I might have to make it down to NYC for his show. I saw Scott Thompson do his Buddy Cole show in a tiny comedy club a couple years ago, and it was wonderful.
	1:22pm Carmichael: Ode to the Guy Who Stole My Bike ...
	1:23pm Essdog: LOL! Got into comedy just to see the BUZZCOCKS! Nice!
	♥ 1:23pm Stevel: tim: themoth.org...
	1:23pm Andres: Also see his coming of age sitcom from 2015, Young Drunk Punk.
	1:24pm Therese: Terriers!
	♥ 1:24pm Erin in TO: 2 weeks ago I saw Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini performing as Mouth Congress. It was amazing
	♥ 1:24pm courtneynoir: Do the terrier dance
	1:24pm Carmichael: Awesome, thanks EFD!
	1:24pm Essdog: Easy dogs to feed!
	♥ 1:25pm efd: @Erin I'M SEEING THEM THIS SATURDAY I CAN'T WAIT!!!
	♥ 1:25pm Stevel: Therese! We had a JR terrier. Yipes. Didn't really get along with people or dogs.
	♥ 1:25pm dave wuz here: daves i know
	♥ 1:25pm The Oscar: Anyone ever see Twitch City? Super offbeat Canadian sitcom from the '90s about a recluse-- Bruce played a talk show host who the protagonist was obsessed with, and Mark McKinney took over the role in the second season!
	♥ 1:25pm Erin in TO: @efd oh you are in for a treat! It was just so fun, and surprisingly wholesome for 2 guys calling each other whores all the time
	♥ 1:25pm tim from washington: Thanks, stevel. Looks like way more palatable than This American Life.
	♥ 1:26pm Handy Haversack: Here's the URL for the show at Soho Playhouse: www.sohoplayhouse.com...
	♥ 1:26pm courtneynoir: Twitch City - yes!
	1:27pm Essdog: @The Oscar Seen it! Great show!
	1:27pm Andres: The Oscar: +1! A classic.
	♥ 1:27pm efd: oh geez Handy, where are my manners?! Thank you for that! I need to put that in the playlist too.
	♥ 1:27pm efd: I have the tab open and everything, just flaked.
	♥ 1:28pm Stevel: efd: You are getting perilously close to needing a hug.
	♥ 1:30pm efd: @Stevel I thought you were going to say "...to needing an Associate Producer!"
	♥ 1:30pm Handy Haversack: efd: where at for Mouth Congress?
	♥ 1:30pm Stevel: efd: You DESERVE an AP.
	♥ 1:31pm medson: Wow, Haven't heard this in forever
	♥ 1:32pm Erin in TO: I can't meet a Dave without thinking of this song
	1:32pm Bob a: Is Dave the Spazz in there?
	♥ 1:33pm efd: @Handy it's in Philly, at PhilaMOCA. Sold out, I'm afraid. BUT There is a screening (no band peformance) of the Mouth Congress documentary on Thursday in Brooklyn. It's early too, like 6pm. I'll find the location and post it.
	♥ 1:33pm Handy Haversack: We're watching KitH from the beginning since I never had cable growing up (and I am lucky enough to have a wonderful radio DJ who encourages me to explore great stuff), and we just saw the "Daves I Know" ep.!
	♥ 1:34pm Rich in Washington: I know I shouldn't have but I laughed so hard at Cancer Boy's Whistle When You're Low bit in Brain Candy I thought I was going to die.
	♥ 1:34pm DjLorraine: BRUCE ❤️ McCulloch
	1:34pm clarke: not having cable was probably an asset
	1:35pm Therese: Brain Candy is in the library!
	♥ 1:35pm The Oscar: The Brain Candy soundtrack was my introduction to a LOT of great bands in high school.
	♥ 1:36pm efd: @Therese right now it's in Studio A!
	♥ 1:36pm Handy Haversack: Making a virtue of necessity has been my move for a long time, clarke!
	1:37pm Therese: Make sure you refile it properly, DAVIES!
	♥ 1:37pm efd: I looked for it under B at first, but it's filed under K!
	1:37pm clarke: the only loss was no TCM, i guess.
	1:38pm Jon: Found the soundtrack on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/38NwRsOr3ukfzQR95Nj91i?si=DPXbV1jSQRapM8TXPP2Z5A
	1:40pm ?: In a fight between Kids in the Hall and the State who would win?
	♥ 1:40pm Handy Haversack: SUBDIVISIONS Wait, no.
	♥ 1:41pm courtneynoir: Honestly, thank Gosh anxiety and depression wasn't diagnosed for pre-teens in the early 90s cos my late-night TV discoveries (KITH, 120 Minutes) made me who I am today and made me a frickin' weirdo at the time :)
	1:42pm Andres: Evan at original tapings! Superfan!
	1:42pm clarke: haha, well-put courtney!
	♥ 1:42pm courtneynoir: @? - I wanna dip my balls in both
	♥ 1:42pm DjLorraine: Kids in the Hall 🙌
	♥ 1:42pm Figgsrock: "Oh, there are some dark nights." Bruce making me almost choke on my water!
	♥ 1:43pm Frank In Queens: @?, I love The State, but KITH no doubt.
	♥ 1:43pm Handy Haversack: I love this interview, and part of why I love it is because of how happy it's making efd, and one of my core beliefs is that things that make efd happy are unalloyed goodnesses. The words are also fantastic. And music.
	♥ 1:44pm courtneynoir: @Handy so true!
	♥ 1:44pm efd: aw, thank you Handy!
	1:44pm clarke: it's gotten where to enthuse about something is not considered cool - but WE know it is!
	1:44pm Andres: That was the Brave New Waves format. Song we're gonna hear, two songs, song we heard.
	♥ 1:44pm Handy Haversack: "Books take a long time to write, eh?" Truer. Words.
	1:45pm Jon: Great interview Evan. Thank you!
	1:45pm Carmichael: Reposting the linkf ro Bryce: www.gofundme.com...
	♥ 1:45pm Frank In Queens: Great interview!
	♥ 1:45pm Rich in Washington: Cool interview!
	♥ 1:45pm Erin in TO: Great interview Evan, thank you for this!
	1:46pm Carmichael: Macaroons, baby ...
	♥ 1:46pm yerfriendpaul: Great interview, Evan!
	1:46pm Andres: Well done, Evan!
	1:46pm Peter: Good stuff 👌
	♥ 1:46pm tim from washington: Whooo Stampeders! THanks, efd! How cool was that interview?!
	1:46pm clarke: ok, so this is the interview that EFD recorded during that storm this weekend?? couldn't hear any thunder and it was a clear signal fo'sho'!! nice one, mate!!
	♥ 1:46pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic interview. One of the best I've heard (and I listen to Michael Shelley!). How great.
	♥ 1:46pm Mike Sin: Well, that interview was fun and interesting! Nice!
	♥ 1:46pm Stevel: Handy: You hit the nail on the head. Great interview!
	♥ 1:46pm Micheal: Sweet interview, EFD! Thanks!
	♥ 1:46pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you EFD, that was incredible! Plus I bought tickets mid-interview so make sure you get your commission.
	♥ 1:47pm efd: thank you all, this was a big one for me! Glad you enjoyed it.
	♥ 1:47pm Figgsrock: This was excellent EFD. Which KITH will get the "Funk" sitdown next?
	1:48pm Carmichael: Beauty, eh?
	1:48pm clarke: not a lot of rock songs with macaroons in the lyrics
	♥ 1:48pm Handy Haversack: I don't think I can make the documentary Thursday because K8 has a gig, but if anyone's looking for music after seeing the doc, come to Mama Tried!
	♥ 1:48pm courtneynoir: Thanks @EFD that interview made my day/week
	♥ 1:48pm Patrick S.: Hey, Evan! Was in a meeting all morning so missed the broadcast but I am really looking forward to listening later. Looks great!
	1:48pm Andres: Will Bruce be passing along your number to Mark and Dave? :)
	1:49pm clarke: for the completist.
	♥ 1:50pm tim from washington: Teenage Head!
	♥ 1:51pm efd: I'll be working on a plan to rope in Dave and Mark, don't worry! Dave has a great DJ sketch in one of the new episodes.
	♥ 1:51pm Fishtown Mike: Great interview EFD!
	♥ 1:52pm Erin in TO: Hearing the Hip on an American station makes my Canadian heart happy
	♥ 1:53pm Brian C.: Picture My Face single was from 1978 fwiw
	♥ 1:53pm The Oscar: @efd I just watched the episode with the DJ sketch-- it was all the more eerie considering Ken coincidentally played "Brand New Key" this morning!
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Erin, I was speaking with a Canadian friend yesterday who confirmed that my having my own canoe should help get me to the head of the line when applying for citizenship.
	♥ 1:54pm efd: @Bruce C thanks - we're in a reporting period so I was looking up the recent reissue in hopes that it might result in the band getting a few (Canadian) pennies.
	1:55pm clarke: having your own canoe will help you get across the border without having to get in line!
	♥ 1:55pm Erin in TO: @Handy make sure it's strapped to the roof when you cross the border, and have the Hip blasting when you pull up
	♥ 1:55pm efd: @The Oscar I didn't think that was a coincidence
	♥ 1:56pm tim from washington: This is the Tragically Hip? I guess I'd never heard them before. For some reason I thought they were like the Spin Doctors or something. My uninformed opinion has changed.
	1:56pm Andres: Handy: And wear a Leafs hockey jersey.
	♥ 1:56pm Jessie: @Erin in TO..Toronto is the only city where the Leafs fall in the spring. :)
	♥ 1:57pm Frank In Queens: Handy, never wear a Leafs jersey.
	1:57pm ChukAmok: This song just floors me every time, without fail.
	♥ 1:57pm Erin in TO: @Jessie year after year, I'd be upset if I cared about hockey hahah

	♥ 12:06pm chris_in_space: hey @Handy and all y'all
	12:06pm Will: Ouch! 1971 is back, warts and all.
	♥ 12:07pm steveo: epic bassline ooh yeah
	♥ 12:08pm G: Saw Elvis C at JazzFest a couple weeks back. He still brings it.
	♥ 12:08pm tim from washington: Nice! I listened to Elvis' latest record "A Boy Called If". It is excellent. I think what I most appreciate about it is how the recorded sounds. It's not super slick and over produced. The songs speak for themself.
	♥ 12:09pm tim from washington: @steveo - sorry to be a know-it-all but I think this record was on Columbia not Epic.
	♥ 12:09pm Handy Haversack: (I'm hoping that Wefdnesday catches on! Maybe the courtneynoir Social Media Airhorn will notice it and signal-boost!)
	12:10pm Secret Monkey Jefferson: Greettngs from Secret Monkey Headquarters, Durham NC!
	♥ 12:10pm efd: @tim you are the Portrait of a pedant ;)
	12:10pm Carmichael: I will note early and for the record that I am a Rider on the Storm.

	12:11pm Michael Shelley: Thanks evan
	♥ 12:11pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, Krys, HyperD, Handy, shame-based Bagpipe, everybody! Secret hi to Secret Monkey friends of Charlie Shaw!
	♥ 12:11pm tim from washington: Aw, thanks efd. I've always wanted my portrait on a pendant.
	♥ 12:11pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	♥ 12:12pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Michael!
	♥ 12:12pm courtneynoir: I kinda feel bad that I, a lady who is bad at social media, adopted the Social Media Airhorn
	12:12pm Neebz: X-teens album from 1880? That's gotta be some kind of record
	♥ 12:12pm courtneynoir: But I DID social media this Brucio show!
	♥ 12:13pm steveo: haha Tim. your comment confused me for a moment (what doesn't, honestly)
	♥ 12:13pm Hoboken Jack: Courtney, I'm so jealous!
	♥ 12:13pm efd: @Neebs Thomas Edison assisted Dixon on that one
	♥ 12:13pm pgalub: Hey efd, JAAAAACK, Handy, Michael and everyone. The 1880s were a great decade for pop!
	♥ 12:14pm Handy Haversack: Pete! I wonder how the x-teens reacted to the 1910s. Seems like it would have been a hard decade for their act.
	12:15pm Listener Bop Monroe: "...and you know who told me?! Jim Fucking Morrison!!"
	12:15pm Frank Zaatar: @Neebz: Not a record, a cylinder.
	♥ 12:16pm courtneynoir: @Listener Bop- that is soooo may fave part of that song/sketch and it pops into my head, randomly, all the time
	♥ 12:16pm Hoboken Jack: Peeeeete!! Can't we get some Scott Joplin up in this jam?
	12:16pm HyperDose: Hey Handy + Jack! Good idea Chuk, I'll ask 👃🏾‍🔊
	♥ 12:16pm tim from washington: @stevo - no problem. Confusion comes frequently to me too.
	♥ 12:17pm tim from washington: Yes! Downliners Sect! The blueprint for Thee Headcoats and The Headcoatees.
	12:18pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Fun fact: Scott Joplin is buried within walking distance from me
	♥ 12:19pm Hoboken Jack: That is a fun fact, JetBoy!
	♥ 12:19pm DjLorraine: I'm digging the show. I'm excited for the Bruce McCulloch interview! (omg)
	♥ 12:20pm Will the Sound Guy: Good afternoon efd and all!!
	♥ 12:20pm efd: @Michael, were you the DJ talking about the mouse in Studio A recently? It's borderline unusable.
	♥ 12:21pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Will!
	♥ 12:22pm medson: Hey Evan and all
	♥ 12:22pm G: That mouse is a rat.
	12:22pm Michael Shelley: Indeed it was me. Our second mouse problem at WfMU
	♥ 12:22pm Hoboken Jack: Medson Man!
	12:23pm DouglasInDallas: @EFD, there's only one mouse in Studio A? Think WFMU would be crawling with them
	♥ 12:23pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello EFD & Listeners! Hey Handy, courtneynoir, Hoboken Jack, Will the Sound Guy!
	♥ 12:24pm Jessie: Alex Chilton playing the drums on this Chris Stamey track.
	♥ 12:24pm Bryant in TO: Hey, efd et al! Looking forward a Doors set this afternoon and perhaps an ode to "the bass player."
	12:24pm Andres: Hi, Evan and funksters! Digging the tunes and excited for the interview. Anyone know if KITH fans have a nickname?
	♥ 12:24pm Hoboken Jack: Howdy Mike!
	12:24pm UFOspecialist: Always crashing...
	♥ 12:25pm courtneynoir: @Andres - Good KITHers?
	♥ 12:25pm efd: I wish I'd been paying closer attention, I'm pretty sure I have an old mouse at home I could have brought in.
	♥ 12:25pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mike!
	♥ 12:25pm Hoboken Jack: KITH & Kin?
	♥ 12:25pm courtneynoir: Buddy HALLys?
	♥ 12:26pm Handy Haversack: Maybe WFMU could use a cat? I actually have an extra ... en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 12:26pm Bryant in TO: @courtneynoir That's an appropriate name on a few levels
	♥ 12:27pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BOWIE Need this. Showering soon, Zoom meeting later and I can't be all disheveled and nekkid.
	♥ 12:27pm yerfriendpaul: Hey EFD, everyone!
	12:27pm Secret Monkey Jefferson: I used to play The Summer Sun with Chris Stamey when I was in his band in the mid 90s.
	12:27pm DouglasInDallas: @Handy I lost my cats in the divorce. If WFMU doesn't want your extra one, mail it to me....
	♥ 12:30pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Hoboken Jack, medson, Michael Shelley, Douglas, Mike BK, Jessie, Brayant, Andres, UFOspc, courtneyrnoir, Handy, Threemoons, yerfriendpaul, Secret Monkey, and others!!!
	♥ 12:31pm courtneynoir: Well now I just wanna start a band called The Chers .......
	12:32pm The Last Phillip: Did @Ken- post the summer schedule yet,? Anyone?
	♥ 12:33pm Will the Sound Guy: Phillip, I think it's too early normally a week or so before
	♥ 12:34pm tim from washington: I agree that the Nuggets II box set is most excellent. I've seen it around used at record stores for a decent price.
	♥ 12:35pm Handy Haversack: Is the mouse why everyone was in Studio B yesterday?
	♥ 12:36pm Micheal: Hiding from the cat?
	12:36pm Beast of Boonton: Is the ball mouse filled with head hair again?
	♥ 12:36pm Uleeshuh TN: is it the old rollerball mouse that gets the gunk in it?
	♥ 12:37pm Hoboken Jack: Longines Symphonette, hello!!
	♥ 12:37pm efd: the problem is the scroll wheel. It's super slippery and very hard to get a grip on it and scroll the page.
	♥ 12:37pm efd: oh good call, Jack!
	♥ 12:37pm efd: but was Wittnauer in on that??
	12:39pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Handy - I was wondering why everyone was in studio B yesterday too!
	12:40pm Van: Howdy EFD and crew. It's been a long time since I have been able to tune in... work is a four letter word, seriously, look it up
	12:40pm Andres: courtneynoir and Hoboken Jack: Excellent suggestions. Taking it to the committee for a vote.
	♥ 12:40pm efd: I don't think broadcasting from Studio B yesterday had anything to do with the mouse in studio A. There's been some maintenance going on the last couple of weeks.
	♥ 12:41pm Bryant in TO: Can always depend on you to spin some Kid Gulliver! Thanks, efd!
	♥ 12:43pm efd: Scott has come to the rescue with a replacement mouse!
	♥ 12:43pm efd: one of the advantages of doing a show at a time when other people are in the building!
	♥ 12:45pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Scott for bringing efd a working mouse 🐀🐁🐀🐁
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: Scott WIlliams - volunteer wrassler and animal trainer.
	12:46pm Secret Monkey Jefferson: That distinctive Mac voice / Superchunk. The more time goes on, it seems that Superchunk and Doleful Lions have a remarkably similar sound. I think it's the maturation of Mac's voice. And that's a good thing.
	♥ 12:47pm courtneynoir: I thought I heard my horn for a sec
	♥ 12:48pm efd: maybe later, Courtney!
	♥ 12:51pm courtneynoir: @efd I live in Nebraska, I have so little to look forward to ha ha ha
	♥ 12:53pm tim from washington: @courtney - Nebraska doesn't have the daily noon Civil Defense siren tests? ;)
	12:53pm ChukAmok: Hi courtneynoir!
	12:54pm clarke: why hello fellow listeners and EFD!
	♥ 12:54pm courtneynoir: @Tim - only on Wednesdays and, frankly, I'm concerned they haven't done any of them this year
	12:55pm Carmichael: OK, back in black!
	♥ 12:55pm tim from washington: @courtney - Oh no! That is worrisome.
	♥ 12:56pm Handy Haversack: courtneynoir, there comes a time when every patriot has to take civil defense into their own hands. Let's get you a siren! Yo, clarke!
	♥ 12:56pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Clarke!
	♥ 12:57pm courtneynoir: @Handy - I have an AIRHORN!
	12:57pm clarke: just walked around the entire City Park with friends (Marconi Meadows NOT inclusive).
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: It's all coming together, courtneynoir!!
	12:58pm clarke: there were NO airhorns present that i could detect.
	12:59pm NYsoul living in another place: Fabulous playlist! Thank you so much
	1:00pm clarke: Summer Sun was a prescient tune just played on this show!! whew. it's here in nola: The BIG Heat!!
	1:01pm ChukAmok: My airhorn is mostly to scare bears away.
	♥ 1:03pm courtneynoir: Egads the lyrics "Some days I work/I work alone" did not seem predictive when I saw this movie in the theatre a hundred years ago
	♥ 1:04pm McGroovey: Doors Fan is a bona-fie-dee WFMU hit!
	1:05pm Peter: Brain Candy was a hilarious movie. Still relevant today. Sad that it didn't do well when it was released.
	♥ 1:06pm courtneynoir: No truer words have ever been uttered: Greatest hits albums are for housewives and little girls.
	♥ 1:06pm Figgsrock: I played this Shame-Based Man track on my Alt specialty show in 1993 (on a hard rock station) and boy oh boy did some people get ticked off about it.
	♥ 1:07pm Krys O.: @Peter: If you watch the first episode of the new series, you will be heartened to find out that it all works out for the revenue for Brain Candy.
	♥ 1:07pm tim from washington: @Peter - you just inspired me to request Brain Candy from my local library.
	♥ 1:07pm efd: i had a note about where that Jim effing Morrison line was but I got distracted
	♥ 1:07pm MikeM: Just watched Brain Candy again last week in anticipation of the new KITH season. Still hilarious, maybe even more so.
	♥ 1:07pm efd: @Courtney I love that line!
	1:07pm TVP: JIM FUCKIN MORRISON!
	♥ 1:08pm Frank In Queens: Oh no, did I miss it or has it not started yet?
	1:08pm Peter: Haha nice!
	1:08pm Carmichael: EFD's playing him in ...
	♥ 1:08pm Figgsrock: @EFD--I am pretty sure that Atlantic had a radio edit made at the time. It was the only way I could have played it.
	1:08pm clarke: hello Frank - hasn't started yet
	1:09pm clarke: how was the red-eye Frank??
	♥ 1:10pm efd: THAT VOICE
	♥ 1:10pm Frank In Queens: OK, good. Clarke, the red-eye lived up to its name. Barely slept on the flight or at all yesterday. Woke up for work today and felt like I had been beaten with a bat.
	♥ 1:10pm Micheal: Bruce always sported the best mullet in all of Canada.
	1:10pm clarke: yikes. yipe!!
	♥ 1:10pm Krys O.: I had a VHS copy of Brain Candy that grew legs and walked off with somebody. I recently bought a DVD copy and watched it for the umpteenth time. Still love it. I also saw it in the theater the first time around.
	♥ 1:11pm courtneynoir: I got early COVID at a Bruce McCulloch show in Wisconsin a few weeks before lockdown and it was worth it .... even though I couldn't breathe for 3 weeks
	♥ 1:12pm DjLorraine: Oh exciting!
	1:13pm Peter: Always thought Bruce's delivery was the funniest on the show. Esp the odd head movements lol
	♥ 1:14pm efd: Bruce immediately endearing himself to the WFMU audience by mentioning the Feelies!
	1:14pm Carmichael: I loved his song about terriers.
	♥ 1:14pm efd: @Peter and his hand movements!
	♥ 1:14pm courtneynoir: @efd this is true and I hate it and love it - know thyself
	♥ 1:15pm efd: @Carmichael don't stray too far from your listening device!
	1:15pm Andres: I hope the money truck did show up.
	1:15pm Carmichael: Ya buddy!
	♥ 1:15pm The Oscar: Afternoon! New KITH is just so so good, and I've always considered Shame Based Man one of the great overlooked albums of the '90s. Great interview!
	♥ 1:16pm courtneynoir: Wait - is this THE Bruce McCulloch from Anne Of Avonlea?!?!
	1:17pm Carmichael: The same, Courtney.
	1:19pm Essdog: Season 6 of KITH is egg-cell-ant! Just wish they could do it in front of a "live studio audience" tho. IMO, that's the only thing missing that could really round it out.
	♥ 1:19pm Nardo: The new show doesn't miss a beat and is quite audacious even compared with the original.
	♥ 1:20pm DjLorraine: Bruce with that sweet innocent face playing all those different characters perfectly.
	♥ 1:20pm tim from washington: Bruce said he does touring with The Moth? What's that?
	♥ 1:20pm courtneynoir: It is such a funny show - even stories you've heard before. Just seeing him talk about them live in front of you is just exhilarating
	1:21pm Andres: From his tweeter: "I sure hope they have an Anne of Green Gables booth this year at comicon so i can FINALLY go..."
	♥ 1:22pm efd: good grief, sorry about that skip at the beginning of "Love You More!"
	♥ 1:22pm Erin in TO: I just love to listen to Bruce, he was always my fave in KITH
	♥ 1:22pm The Spoony: Hell yeah, Toronto's got a fantastic punk scene.
	1:22pm clarke: it was gr8
	♥ 1:22pm The Oscar: I might have to make it down to NYC for his show. I saw Scott Thompson do his Buddy Cole show in a tiny comedy club a couple years ago, and it was wonderful.
	1:22pm Carmichael: Ode to the Guy Who Stole My Bike ...
	1:23pm Essdog: LOL! Got into comedy just to see the BUZZCOCKS! Nice!
	♥ 1:23pm Stevel: tim: themoth.org...
	1:23pm Andres: Also see his coming of age sitcom from 2015, Young Drunk Punk.
	1:24pm Therese: Terriers!
	♥ 1:24pm Erin in TO: 2 weeks ago I saw Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini performing as Mouth Congress. It was amazing
	♥ 1:24pm courtneynoir: Do the terrier dance
	1:24pm Carmichael: Awesome, thanks EFD!
	1:24pm Essdog: Easy dogs to feed!
	♥ 1:25pm efd: @Erin I'M SEEING THEM THIS SATURDAY I CAN'T WAIT!!!
	♥ 1:25pm Stevel: Therese! We had a JR terrier. Yipes. Didn't really get along with people or dogs.
	♥ 1:25pm dave wuz here: daves i know
	♥ 1:25pm The Oscar: Anyone ever see Twitch City? Super offbeat Canadian sitcom from the '90s about a recluse-- Bruce played a talk show host who the protagonist was obsessed with, and Mark McKinney took over the role in the second season!
	♥ 1:25pm Erin in TO: @efd oh you are in for a treat! It was just so fun, and surprisingly wholesome for 2 guys calling each other whores all the time
	♥ 1:25pm tim from washington: Thanks, stevel. Looks like way more palatable than This American Life.
	♥ 1:26pm Handy Haversack: Here's the URL for the show at Soho Playhouse: www.sohoplayhouse.com...
	♥ 1:26pm courtneynoir: Twitch City - yes!
	1:27pm Essdog: @The Oscar Seen it! Great show!
	1:27pm Andres: The Oscar: +1! A classic.
	♥ 1:27pm efd: oh geez Handy, where are my manners?! Thank you for that! I need to put that in the playlist too.
	♥ 1:27pm efd: I have the tab open and everything, just flaked.
	♥ 1:28pm Stevel: efd: You are getting perilously close to needing a hug.
	♥ 1:30pm efd: @Stevel I thought you were going to say "...to needing an Associate Producer!"
	♥ 1:30pm Handy Haversack: efd: where at for Mouth Congress?
	♥ 1:30pm Stevel: efd: You DESERVE an AP.
	♥ 1:31pm medson: Wow, Haven't heard this in forever
	♥ 1:32pm Erin in TO: I can't meet a Dave without thinking of this song
	1:32pm Bob a: Is Dave the Spazz in there?
	♥ 1:33pm efd: @Handy it's in Philly, at PhilaMOCA. Sold out, I'm afraid. BUT There is a screening (no band peformance) of the Mouth Congress documentary on Thursday in Brooklyn. It's early too, like 6pm. I'll find the location and post it.
	♥ 1:33pm Handy Haversack: We're watching KitH from the beginning since I never had cable growing up (and I am lucky enough to have a wonderful radio DJ who encourages me to explore great stuff), and we just saw the "Daves I Know" ep.!
	♥ 1:34pm Rich in Washington: I know I shouldn't have but I laughed so hard at Cancer Boy's Whistle When You're Low bit in Brain Candy I thought I was going to die.
	♥ 1:34pm DjLorraine: BRUCE ❤️ McCulloch
	1:34pm clarke: not having cable was probably an asset
	1:35pm Therese: Brain Candy is in the library!
	♥ 1:35pm The Oscar: The Brain Candy soundtrack was my introduction to a LOT of great bands in high school.
	♥ 1:36pm efd: @Therese right now it's in Studio A!
	♥ 1:36pm Handy Haversack: Making a virtue of necessity has been my move for a long time, clarke!
	1:37pm Therese: Make sure you refile it properly, DAVIES!
	♥ 1:37pm efd: I looked for it under B at first, but it's filed under K!
	1:37pm clarke: the only loss was no TCM, i guess.
	1:38pm Jon: Found the soundtrack on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/38NwRsOr3ukfzQR95Nj91i?si=DPXbV1jSQRapM8TXPP2Z5A
	1:40pm ?: In a fight between Kids in the Hall and the State who would win?
	♥ 1:40pm Handy Haversack: SUBDIVISIONS Wait, no.
	♥ 1:41pm courtneynoir: Honestly, thank Gosh anxiety and depression wasn't diagnosed for pre-teens in the early 90s cos my late-night TV discoveries (KITH, 120 Minutes) made me who I am today and made me a frickin' weirdo at the time :)
	1:42pm Andres: Evan at original tapings! Superfan!
	1:42pm clarke: haha, well-put courtney!
	♥ 1:42pm courtneynoir: @? - I wanna dip my balls in both
	♥ 1:42pm DjLorraine: Kids in the Hall 🙌
	♥ 1:42pm Figgsrock: "Oh, there are some dark nights." Bruce making me almost choke on my water!
	♥ 1:43pm Frank In Queens: @?, I love The State, but KITH no doubt.
	♥ 1:43pm Handy Haversack: I love this interview, and part of why I love it is because of how happy it's making efd, and one of my core beliefs is that things that make efd happy are unalloyed goodnesses. The words are also fantastic. And music.
	♥ 1:44pm courtneynoir: @Handy so true!
	♥ 1:44pm efd: aw, thank you Handy!
	1:44pm clarke: it's gotten where to enthuse about something is not considered cool - but WE know it is!
	1:44pm Andres: That was the Brave New Waves format. Song we're gonna hear, two songs, song we heard.
	♥ 1:44pm Handy Haversack: "Books take a long time to write, eh?" Truer. Words.
	1:45pm Jon: Great interview Evan. Thank you!
	1:45pm Carmichael: Reposting the linkf ro Bryce: www.gofundme.com...
	♥ 1:45pm Frank In Queens: Great interview!
	♥ 1:45pm Rich in Washington: Cool interview!
	♥ 1:45pm Erin in TO: Great interview Evan, thank you for this!
	1:46pm Carmichael: Macaroons, baby ...
	♥ 1:46pm yerfriendpaul: Great interview, Evan!
	1:46pm Andres: Well done, Evan!
	1:46pm Peter: Good stuff 👌
	♥ 1:46pm tim from washington: Whooo Stampeders! THanks, efd! How cool was that interview?!
	1:46pm clarke: ok, so this is the interview that EFD recorded during that storm this weekend?? couldn't hear any thunder and it was a clear signal fo'sho'!! nice one, mate!!
	♥ 1:46pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic interview. One of the best I've heard (and I listen to Michael Shelley!). How great.
	♥ 1:46pm Mike Sin: Well, that interview was fun and interesting! Nice!
	♥ 1:46pm Stevel: Handy: You hit the nail on the head. Great interview!
	♥ 1:46pm Micheal: Sweet interview, EFD! Thanks!
	♥ 1:46pm Hoboken Jack: Thank you EFD, that was incredible! Plus I bought tickets mid-interview so make sure you get your commission.
	♥ 1:47pm efd: thank you all, this was a big one for me! Glad you enjoyed it.
	♥ 1:47pm Figgsrock: This was excellent EFD. Which KITH will get the "Funk" sitdown next?
	1:48pm Carmichael: Beauty, eh?
	1:48pm clarke: not a lot of rock songs with macaroons in the lyrics
	♥ 1:48pm Handy Haversack: I don't think I can make the documentary Thursday because K8 has a gig, but if anyone's looking for music after seeing the doc, come to Mama Tried!
	♥ 1:48pm courtneynoir: Thanks @EFD that interview made my day/week
	♥ 1:48pm Patrick S.: Hey, Evan! Was in a meeting all morning so missed the broadcast but I am really looking forward to listening later. Looks great!
	1:48pm Andres: Will Bruce be passing along your number to Mark and Dave? :)
	1:49pm clarke: for the completist.
	♥ 1:50pm tim from washington: Teenage Head!
	♥ 1:51pm efd: I'll be working on a plan to rope in Dave and Mark, don't worry! Dave has a great DJ sketch in one of the new episodes.
	♥ 1:51pm Fishtown Mike: Great interview EFD!
	♥ 1:52pm Erin in TO: Hearing the Hip on an American station makes my Canadian heart happy
	♥ 1:53pm Brian C.: Picture My Face single was from 1978 fwiw
	♥ 1:53pm The Oscar: @efd I just watched the episode with the DJ sketch-- it was all the more eerie considering Ken coincidentally played "Brand New Key" this morning!
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Erin, I was speaking with a Canadian friend yesterday who confirmed that my having my own canoe should help get me to the head of the line when applying for citizenship.
	♥ 1:54pm efd: @Bruce C thanks - we're in a reporting period so I was looking up the recent reissue in hopes that it might result in the band getting a few (Canadian) pennies.
	1:55pm clarke: having your own canoe will help you get across the border without having to get in line!
	♥ 1:55pm Erin in TO: @Handy make sure it's strapped to the roof when you cross the border, and have the Hip blasting when you pull up
	♥ 1:55pm efd: @The Oscar I didn't think that was a coincidence
	♥ 1:56pm tim from washington: This is the Tragically Hip? I guess I'd never heard them before. For some reason I thought they were like the Spin Doctors or something. My uninformed opinion has changed.
	1:56pm Andres: Handy: And wear a Leafs hockey jersey.
	♥ 1:56pm Jessie: @Erin in TO..Toronto is the only city where the Leafs fall in the spring. :)
	♥ 1:57pm Frank In Queens: Handy, never wear a Leafs jersey.
	1:57pm ChukAmok: This song just floors me every time, without fail.
	♥ 1:57pm Erin in TO: @Jessie year after year, I'd be upset if I cared about hockey hahah
	♥ 1:57pm tim from washington: @efd - enough plays might even get them a Loonie or a Toonie!
	♥ 1:57pm Figgsrock: That Hip song fits perfectly into their 93 to 99 vibe, except for the title that never fails to make me laugh.
	1:57pm JetLee: Evan! Great show, really fun interview, and thanks tons for the spin!
	♥ 1:57pm Handy Haversack: "Passport and nationality?" "Books take a long time to write, eh? Go Leafs!" "Welcome home, sir."
	1:57pm clarke: wear a leafs jersey but tear it off during examination
	1:58pm Mark: Set my calendar reminder for Weds 12:00 - now enjoy show regularly - esp good today!
	♥ 1:58pm Handy Haversack: I have a Curtis Martin Jets jersey. Maybe I can stencil in a "Winnipeg" someplace.
	♥ 1:59pm efd: The Mouth Congress documentary is screening in Brooklyn tomorrow night: at C'mon Everybody 325 Franklin Ave. BK *It's Early! Doors: 5:30pm Film: 6pm sharp
	♥ 1:59pm Erin in TO: I haven't seen Brain Candy in like 20 years, but these tracks from the OST are reminding me I need to rewatch it
	1:59pm clarke: that is a tearaway jersey tho.
	♥ 2:00pm Erin in TO: I missed the Mouth Congress doc screening here in Toronto because I'm dumb. Don't be like me, folks
	♥ 2:00pm efd: I definitely need to watch Brain Candy again, I haven't seen it since it came out.
	2:02pm clarke: Border Guard: hey, i think i hear your voice on the radio during the 'fmu marathon, ay? Handy: i sound taller on the radio.
	♥ 2:02pm The Spoony: @efd, as someone who works in a Pharma-adjacent industry, Brain Candy's only gotten more relevant for me. It's a fine wine.
	2:04pm Andres: Frank In Queens: If you don't have a Leafs jersey or a Canadian tuxedo then not sure what you're gonna wear if you're ever invited to a wedding in Toronto.
	2:04pm DouglasInDallas: @Spoony & @EFD I second that emotion 😎
	♥ 2:05pm BLCKDGRD: Is Melanie gonna have a brand new roller skates and are your gonna have a key in this set?
	♥ 2:06pm efd: @BLCKDGRD I'm gonna let Ken have that one.
	♥ 2:07pm Erin in TO: Mouth Congress played both of these tracks at the show I saw, so frigging awesome
	♥ 2:07pm Glistener MW: I caught the Mouth Congress documentary's premiere in December; it's an incredible treasure trove for KITH fans! Its framing-device is Kevin McDonald reading the history of Mouth Congress to his niece as a bedtime story. <3 The feature-length doc is a mix of vintage pre/during-KITH vhs quality footage of Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini, and them present-day reuniting to write/perform music again.
	♥ 2:07pm efd: Reminder that Kids In The Hall: Comedy Punks, the new documentary based on the book by past guest Paul Myers, premieres on Amazon Prime this coming Friday!
	♥ 2:07pm melinda: hi everyone
	♥ 2:07pm efd: "The People Have Spoken" has a whole new level of urgency now.
	♥ 2:08pm Erin in TO: @efd I thought the same thing as they were playing it
	♥ 2:08pm Glistener MW: Thanks for the incredible show, EFD!!! This has been such a great year for KITH-love.
	2:08pm DouglasInDallas: Mouth Congress don't need that fascist groove thang!
	♥ 2:09pm tim from washington: Hey Melinda!
	2:14pm clarke: hello melinda~
	♥ 2:15pm melinda: I wasn't listening closely to Pablo and Andrea but I think those are Robert Frank's children
	2:18pm clarke: yay alicja!!! cool tune! (as usual)
	♥ 2:19pm efd: yes, no surprise there!
	2:20pm clarke: i should dig up my demo cassette for her didn't-happen project: MouseRocket. brilliant!!
	♥ 2:20pm tim from washington: Excellent new Sweet Knives. That was great. I loved loved loved Alicja's old band The Lost Sounds.
	♥ 2:21pm efd: some of that MouseRocket stuff was released eventually, I'm pretty sure?
	2:21pm clarke: ok, maybe?? i don't have that.
	2:24pm clarke: i guess it came out in 2008 on Tic Tac Totally?? need to find it.
	2:26pm clarke: and yes, Tim, Lost Sounds was FAB as well!!
	2:38pm clarke: very airhorn of ye
	♥ 2:38pm mrdonutsu: MORE HORN PLEASE

	2:45pm clarke: Brain Handy!
	♥ 2:46pm efd: @Handy some bands get a pass!
	2:48pm clarke: hah - i was about to ask who'd be filling Dee Pop's shoes - well-filled!!
	♥ 2:48pm McGroovey: It ain't CanCon unless you play Nash the Slash and Martha and the Muffins!
	♥ 2:49pm prof.fuzz: howdy everyone! l
	2:49pm eva: loved the show! Was anyone at the mercury lounge show in 2019? bush tetras were so good and $15!

	♥ 2:56pm tim from washington: Make Scott do the heavy lifting next week, efd.
	2:56pm clarke: i'm meeting some friends at franky & johnnie's for some gumbo, ha ha. THEN i will be exhausted.
	♥ 2:56pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks EFD!! Enjoy Mouth Congress!
	2:58pm UFOspecialist: Everything, baby!
	♥ 2:58pm radioronan: Thanks, Evan!
	3:00pm Andres: Thank ye, Evan!!
	♥ 3:03pm Fishtown Mike: Hey EFD, apparently there were 7pm & 10pm shows for Mouth Congress. But they consolidated it to only the 7pm, and yeah it's sold out.
