Listener comments!
	♥ 12:00pm G: Found it haha
	♥ 12:00pm Figgsrock: Ooh, a LG deep cut!
	12:00pm bradford: hey now!
	12:00pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds
	♥ 12:01pm G: City Lady, you're a fine girl
	♥ 12:01pm Various Julius: Hey all.
	♥ 12:02pm Various Julius: Is this Looking Glass a nod to Better Call Saul karaoke?
	♥ 12:03pm efd: @Various Julius I haven't been watching, so no
	♥ 12:03pm drr: As soon as he sad "lady from the city" I thought, "this is the "Brandy" guys.
	♥ 12:04pm Various Julius: I'm o-fer with theories today
	♥ 12:04pm vinylmonkee: Off to a strong start!
	♥ 12:04pm efd: boy, that was a cold ending and a short gap between songs on that Looking Glass record!
	12:05pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This Talking Heads is a super banger. The tension BUILDS so amazingly.
	♥ 12:05pm efd: haven't played this Talking Heads song on my show since 2004!!
	♥ 12:05pm efd: didn't even have a weekly show yet!
	12:05pm HyperDose: Even though the party is in my mind, I'm still going to put my keys in the bowl. Just to be safe.
	♥ 12:06pm luka: happy to spend a lunch hour with you all
	12:08pm Bobobob Plasticland: drank a few cocktails with Jerry Harrison at the Mad Planet a few times .....nice guy
	♥ 12:09pm Figgsrock: EFD, how long have you had a weekly show? I think I've been listening for almost a decade?
	12:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: 1979 was a great year for Post Punk. Talking Heads. Joy Division. PIL. SO MUCH. I am connecting with cold leads on LinkedIn. I can do it to music! In our house we have hooks hanging by the front door for keys. Was Jerry Harrison in both Talking Heads AND Modern Lovers?
	♥ 12:09pm prof.fuzz: howdy y'all
	♥ 12:09pm efd: @Figgsrock Since September 2006.
	♥ 12:11pm Figgsrock: @EFD--Wow, that's an amazing run. And the only break from the schedule was last year?
	♥ 12:13pm efd: @Figgsrock yep, not too bad!
	♥ 12:13pm drr: When Fear Of Music came out, Talking Heads already had a stamp of disapproval in our house (our mom saw them on SNL with us and was what I would describe as disgusted, couldn't believe we liked them). Fear Of Music had such a dark vibe I wasn't sure I liked it at the time. Cut to about a year ago, when my mom asked me "Would I like David Byrne?" and i had the pleasure of answering (truthfully) "yes".
	♥ 12:13pm drr: @Figgsrock: did you get the Paxlovid rebound??
	♥ 12:14pm Figgsrock: Hey, according to the work calendar I was just looking at a couple minutes ago today is the birthday of late War bassist BB Dickerson.
	♥ 12:14pm Figgsrock: @drr, nope, no rebound. Thank goodness.
	♥ 12:14pm efd: oh, funny coincidence! I had no idea.
	♥ 12:15pm efd: haha, just ignore those four guitar notes, you'll hear them again in a minute
	♥ 12:16pm drr: well, I did. Thought I would be better by today but I have at least one more day to go.
	♥ 12:17pm McGroovey: I was just reading about Looking Glass. I didn't realize that they evolved into Starz.
	♥ 12:17pm Figgsrock: @drr--That sucks. This second go around with Covid the only after effect is that my voice is pretty scratchy when I wake up but it improves the longer I'm awake. The first one (pre-vax) I had all sorts of long covid symptons that decreased dramatically after my booster.
	♥ 12:18pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): EFD!!!
	12:20pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Albert Band sounds like they are from 1968 or something.
	♥ 12:20pm prof.fuzz: hope you feel better soon, dave.
	12:23pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. I thought by their sound that the Albert Band were filthy hippies. Does being from Spain make them filthier or more cultured?
	12:24pm clarke: hello all! how did it get to be this late. dang.
	♥ 12:24pm drr: Neckbreakers!!
	12:26pm nycmusicnerd: Maybe I'm hallucinating, but these neckbreakers sound a bit like Joe Jackson to me.
	♥ 12:26pm prof.fuzz: @swingin' neckbreakers: you're not my mom. you can't tell me what to do.
	♥ 12:27pm prof.fuzz: same to the cuts...
	♥ 12:27pm efd: @nycmusicnerd I've never heard that comp before, but you hear what you hear!
	12:28pm clarke: i think they ARE yer mom.
	♥ 12:28pm prof.fuzz: @EFD: I bet you could do a whole show of "band commands" in which songs tell listeners to do stuff.
	12:28pm nycmusicnerd: efd: Listen to these songs back to back with I'm The Man. Or maybe I am hallucinating.
	♥ 12:29pm prof.fuzz: damn, clarke. you might be right. i'm gonna send in a DNA sample to 23 and Your Mom right now!
	12:29pm nycmusicnerd: @Fuzz: I wouldn't mind hearing a show like that!
	♥ 12:29pm Figgsrock: I wondered if we'd hear something from Ardent today.
	12:29pm Andres: !!!
	♥ 12:29pm prof.fuzz: @NYCNerd: I know. that would be really fun.
	♥ 12:31pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wait... I know this song... OH SHIT!!!! Back in the late 80s early 90s, there was a band in Cincinnati called The Love Cowboys who covered Back of A Car! Not being terribly familiar with Big Star, with exposure only 2nd hand, hearing this took my by surprise.
	12:33pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Hi all! Love the Big Star.
	12:34pm clarke: on fiyah davies!!
	♥ 12:34pm Krys O.: An interesting article about John King: dailymemphian.com... He donated his collection to Memphis Listening Lab. Oh, has anyone ever heard Sheriff Jack's cover of Back of a Car? www.discogs.com...
	12:36pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Oh no, John King died... thank you Evan. Wasn't aware. He was a colorful character. In the 1980s he hosted a great program called "Entertainment USA" on the BBC, which would review, well, entertainment in the USA for that week. He loved the US and gave much more insight into the country and culture than we in the UK could get anywhere else.
	♥ 12:37pm Midge: cabello=hair
	♥ 12:37pm McGroovey: the swingin' neckbreakers kick ass. I'd love to see them play live again. I saw them at least 10 years ago with ... I guess the A-Bones and Piggies?
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: EFD: Ella tiene el cabello rubio = She has blonde hair
	♥ 12:38pm Artie: She has blonde hair
	12:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: SO Albert Band WAS from the late 60's/early 70s! I just knew it....
	12:38pm Paul in the OC: Anthony Band track= She Has Blonde Hair. But of course!
	12:38pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Aargh, I was talking about the wrong John King - I was thinking of JONATHAN King. Still alive!
	♥ 12:39pm Mike Sin: That "Spanish Trip" comp is definitely worth having and can still be had for cheap: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:39pm Jessie: John King owned just north of 40,000 records which he donated in 2019 to the Memphis Listening Lab.
	12:39pm clarke: was wondering if there was an alternate universe for a sec. (there probably still is)
	12:40pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Talking Heads first album is a bit manic. In a good way. Kinda hyper.
	12:44pm clarke: FuZZZ - isn't Pennywhistle Park an amusement park in the Dallas area?? or was??
	♥ 12:44pm efd: thanks for the Spanish help and additional John King info/links!
	♥ 12:44pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: Yes. www.dallasnews.com...
	♥ 12:46pm prof.fuzz: it was pretty close to where we live.
	♥ 12:46pm efd: @prof That makes sense, right, since I think you'd mentioned Crystal Furs were originally from Dallas before moving to Portland?
	12:46pm clarke: thanks, unable to get past their subscription to read article. but i thought so.
	♥ 12:47pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Talking Heads: _maybe_ I had heard Psycho Killer before Fear of Music came out. I remember seeing ads for it in Creem. Picked it up and man....What The Hell Is This??!!!! I wore that sucker out.
	♥ 12:47pm prof.fuzz: Yeah, Crystal Furs were from Fort Worth before moving to Portland a few years ago. sorry for the paywalled link, clarke. i'm not a DMN subscriber, but it opened for me anyways.
	12:48pm clarke: that's because you got the magic!!
	♥ 12:48pm prof.fuzz: fuzz magic!
	12:48pm clarke: (never too chilly for twilley!)
	12:49pm nycmusicnerd: Nice to be able to put my bachelor's degree to use! :)
	12:50pm clarke: good album - all the way
	12:51pm clarke: just got the vinyl on this, this week!
	♥ 12:53pm prof.fuzz: i've got a record and a skateboard both supposed to arrive in today's mail...
	♥ 12:54pm efd: yeah, the bandcamp page for Tony Jay lists it as coming out a year ago... vinyl is pretty new to us here at the station.
	12:54pm clarke: hopefully one will not warp the other.
	12:55pm clarke: a friend of mine is getting an SVT head mailed to him - yipe!
	12:55pm clarke: i think they are like 80+ pounds??
	♥ 12:56pm drr: there are gonna be stamps all over that thing
	12:56pm clarke: covered an smothereed
	♥ 12:56pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: yikes! that's gonna be a LOT of stamp glue to clean off of that head.
	♥ 12:57pm prof.fuzz: technically, the record is coming via usps and the skateboard is fed ex.
	12:57pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: I like the old SVT heads - and amps! They were a bargain in the 90’s anyway
	12:57pm clarke: which brings to mind, DRR: any interest on hitting the 'new' Waffle House on jeff hwy/claiborne?? (when you get well, that is)
	12:59pm ChukAmok: I had a bit of the same confusion when I played Tony Jay on my show a couple weeks ago. The vinyl is a more recent press than the BC release.
	♥ 1:00pm prof.fuzz: Legit "new release." Bands/artists should be able to have two release parties, one for digital/CD and another for vinyl, given the vinyl production delays these days.
	1:00pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hello efd. Rock on brother!!!
	1:01pm clarke: also FuZZ, i consider an album to be 'new' a lot longer, these days. in general.
	♥ 1:02pm prof.fuzz: me too, clarke. time has become all-smashed-up during the plague years.
	1:03pm clarke: u got that right!
	1:03pm clarke: the Prof has FUZZY special pillows!
	♥ 1:05pm prof.fuzz: almost all of the fuzz on my pillows is from a couple of boston terriers...
	1:05pm clarke: did not know you had bostons!! wow!! niice!
	1:06pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Excellent tune efd!!!!
	♥ 1:06pm prof.fuzz: monk and cricket, both nine years old. they are my unofficial teaching assistants.
	1:06pm clarke: they're a lovable sort!
	♥ 1:07pm efd: hey Danny, glad you liked it!
	1:07pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Peace De Resistance sound like Roxy Music playing the Velvet Underground.
	1:07pm clarke: i think you just 1099'd me!!
	1:07pm Glistener MW: great new Special Pillow track!
	1:08pm Glistener MW: I hope that one and this begat a whole set about big-tech horrors
	♥ 1:08pm efd: @MW sorry to say it's just a two-song theme!
	1:09pm Glistener MW: something about the fuzz/production on this PdR track is driving my dog crazy!
	♥ 1:10pm drr: actually I prefer that you 1099 me.
	1:10pm clarke: at the Waffle House??
	♥ 1:11pm drr: I was just commenting on my current financial setup for freelancing.
	♥ 1:12pm drr: I'll do Waffle House but was more looking forward to revisiting the Frostop.
	1:12pm clarke: did you ever get the $ out of that client?
	1:13pm clarke: oh right - frostop. yes. get well soon!
	♥ 1:13pm drr: clarke, yes I did!
	1:13pm clarke: good!! he 1099'd u.
	1:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK this is a Stereolab cover!
	♥ 1:16pm mndave: And a great one at that!
	♥ 1:17pm efd: you're both right!
	♥ 1:17pm drr: I had to get fingerprinted and background checked for that bit of work. (federal government is the end client, highly sensitive stuff you know)
	♥ 1:17pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Ted Leo's reminding me of Buck Dharma here.
	1:17pm clarke: highly sensitive shit.
	♥ 1:18pm Figgsrock: Ted Leo is one of the greatest interpreters of other people's songs in the past 25 years.
	1:18pm clarke: Woods - do you have that Buck Dharma solo album ? good one!
	♥ 1:19pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @clarke: Actually, no. I didn't even know he did one!
	1:20pm clarke: oh yeah - it ain't easy to find. it's worth a discogs purchase
	1:20pm clarke: it's a bit more power pop than the Cult
	♥ 1:21pm Figgsrock: That Traffic cover on the latest Ted Leo EP is excellent too.
	1:21pm clarke: CNSMAH could be ambience.
	1:24pm sally: Thanks for playing the Mutants. Sounds great. Love your show.
	♥ 1:24pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @clarke: Available in the iTunes store so I'll have to check it out. Discogs too. Thanks!
	♥ 1:25pm Stevel: Oh, yeah! All creepy, all the time!
	1:27pm Marc15: The Special Pillow’s record label is Zofko
	♥ 1:28pm efd: @Marc15 Thank you!
	1:28pm clarke: hmm.. interesting always wondered the pronunciation of Vauxhall. or is it americanized?
	♥ 1:28pm Figgsrock: Okay, this Prowler is creepy yet awesome at the same time.
	♥ 1:28pm efd: @sally Thank you! Would that be Sally W... ??
	1:29pm Marc15: @efd: You are very welcome!
	♥ 1:29pm efd: @Figgsrock EXACTLY!!
	♥ 1:30pm Figgsrock: @EFD--I hope you play it again around Halloween.
	1:31pm sally: yes it is
	♥ 1:31pm efd: @sally Nice to have you here! Thanks so much for listening!
	♥ 1:33pm efd: @Figgsrock I'm not sure I'll be able to take enough showers between now and Halloween to get to a point where I could play it again
	♥ 1:33pm Figgsrock: @EFD--HAHAHAHAHA
	♥ 1:34pm prof.fuzz: 2.5 miles of mental floss might help, efd.
	♥ 1:35pm prof.fuzz: creepy in a "stray cat blues" kinda way, but way more catchy.
	1:37pm clarke: it's no capital crime.
	♥ 1:37pm Figgsrock: EFD--have you played anything from that Miles Out to Sea comp yet?
	♥ 1:37pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: it's not, but you'll lose points against your drivers license.
	♥ 1:38pm efd: @Figgsrock it's coming up!
	1:38pm MG: Ahhh. St Et. Thanks.
	1:39pm clarke: i'm about a 50%'er on St. Ettienne
	1:40pm clarke: much prefer "her" songs.
	1:42pm roc: Dark themes in this cute song
	♥ 1:46pm efd: gotta love a key change
	♥ 1:46pm drr: this is driving me crazy--ah, ok, it changed.
	♥ 1:47pm Mike Sin: Cherry Red's dedication to these 3-CD clamshell compilations of codified genres and such are always so incredible. I'm amazed that they can still be supported in this market.
	♥ 1:48pm Figgsrock: Yes! I think Kompilation Korner would be a great addition to the show each week
	1:48pm clarke: we're gonna need some more airhorns.
	♥ 1:49pm Krys O.: Oh, I've heard of Simon Fisher Turner. A FB pal o' mine is friends with him.
	1:51pm clarke: i need a lie-down. and i just got up!
	1:52pm poptone: EFD, I am SO sold on the roots of british power pop 69-75 set. wow! those Cherry Red people are busy. thanks for the tip and your service.
	1:52pm clarke: King Of Luxembourg has a song called Poptone!
	1:53pm clarke: oh yeah!!!
	♥ 1:53pm prof.fuzz: oh yeah!
	1:54pm clarke: the only thing i like about social media is the airhorn.
	♥ 1:55pm joe mulligan: was just hoping to hear some airhorn
	♥ 1:56pm Krys O.: It sounds treasonous, but I used to listen to a streaming channel called And the Beat Goes On about 7-8 years ago. It was heavy on obscure British and Australian hits of the 60s and 70s. They're defunct now.
	♥ 1:56pm James Douglas: I'm pretty sure Mark Hurst winces during the EFD Social Media Airhorn each week.
	♥ 1:57pm efd: @James I don't doubt it.
	1:57pm clarke: speaking of treason - did anyone ever listen to Deeper Into Music (a streaming one-dj 'radio show')?? it was really good.
	♥ 1:59pm efd: @Krys that sounds like a great show!
	♥ 1:59pm Handy Haversack: efd! All the other letters! From wet and wild Western Michigan, we wave at you!
	♥ 2:00pm Krys O.: @efd: For example, they had Peter Sarstedt's Frozen Orange Juice and Barry Ryan's Eloise in heavy rotation.
	♥ 2:01pm prof.fuzz: woot! mailman and fed ex both delivered! new record and new longboard.
	2:01pm clarke: Handy!! you made it!! cool!! howzit?? excellent FuZZZ!
	♥ 2:01pm efd: welcome Handy! Hope vacation is going well!
	♥ 2:02pm efd: @Krys those are too obscure even for me!
	♥ 2:04pm Handy Haversack: We just got up to the farm after a couple of days with my aunt and her wife in town. And we met up with tim from washington (soon to be champaign)! Got cleaning and unpacking for the rest of the afternoon -- it's pouring, so that's OK.
	♥ 2:05pm full metal monkey: Hello EFD, Handy, Fuzz and ever else
	♥ 2:05pm James Douglas: Nice. LadyHouse is a scarce commodity.
	2:05pm clarke: did you stop at ann arbor this time, Handy?
	♥ 2:09pm efd: Ladymonix is great, highly recommend her whole catalog
	♥ 2:09pm prof.fuzz: Hey FMM! How ya doing?
	2:09pm clarke: speaking of pouring, i see that the Lower9 just got dumped on - still dry uptown.
	♥ 2:10pm full metal monkey: @prof. Doing good. And you?
	♥ 2:11pm prof.fuzz: @FMM: it's been a good couple of days. good health news yesterday and good mail day today. i'll take it.
	♥ 2:12pm full metal monkey: @prof. Good to hear.
	2:13pm clarke: so glad to hear dat, Prof!!
	♥ 2:13pm drr: I really shoulda finished cutting the grass before it rained. what have we had, like 33 consecutive days of rain?
	2:14pm clarke: hey what record did u get?? DRR: at least that.
	2:15pm clarke: you don't need to be cutting grass in this heat with the 'vid!!
	♥ 2:15pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: quintron and miss pussycat's latest from goner. it had been unavailable on vinyl for the last couple of years but just came back in print. skateboard is a santa cruz pintail longboard.
	2:16pm garlic lover: This is poppin!
	2:16pm clarke: those guys are friends - haven't seen 'em in years, tho!! cool!
	♥ 2:16pm Handy Haversack: Very glad, prof.fuzz! Hey, fmm! Internet a little spotty here, but we're trying. No Ann Arbor this time, clarke. Just an overnight in western PA.
	2:17pm clarke: not cool that i haven't seen 'em - cool you got the record! and the board!
	2:17pm Josh: Stop me oh-oh-oh stop me
	♥ 2:17pm luka: {butthead voice} is this supertramp
	2:17pm nycmusicnerd: Handy: Whereabouts in western PA? I'm from there originally.
	♥ 2:18pm drr: I always enjoy profanity and rude language in Belle and Sebastian tunes.
	2:18pm clarke: damnit beavis.
	2:19pm clarke: i approves of dis album. a bit of the previous to the previous!
	♥ 2:19pm full metal monkey: @handy. Hi hope your well
	♥ 2:20pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: I haven't had a chance to see Q&MissP yet, but would love to. they rock.
	♥ 2:20pm efd: @luka careful what you wish for
	♥ 2:20pm luka: @efd haha, bring it!
	2:20pm clarke: dunno if they have performed in a while? dave oughtta know tho, he's their neigbor.
	♥ 2:21pm drr: "If you find yourself caught in love Say a prayer to the man above You should thank him for every day you pass Thank him for saving your sorry ass"
	♥ 2:21pm drr: Q&P are currently touring Europe.
	♥ 2:22pm prof.fuzz: @drr: if you see Q and/or MissP, tell them Prof.Fuzz says "Hi." Bonus points if you see them in Europe.
	2:22pm clarke: see? i knew dave would know!
	2:23pm clarke: the rock i live under only allows the thunder (and some EFD) to leak in.
	♥ 2:27pm luka: Radio Row just killing it lately
	♥ 2:33pm Handy Haversack: nymn: Clarion.
	♥ 2:34pm full metal monkey: White hills rule
	♥ 2:34pm efd: Clarion! I don't think that's far from New Bethlehem and Distant, where my late stepfather grew up. Went on several family trips there in the '70s.
	2:34pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: White Hills reminds me of Monster Magnet.
	♥ 2:34pm efd: @fmm you are correct.
	♥ 2:35pm drr: fuzz: Had you been in Berlin last week, you could have seen Quintron and Pussycat open for Swamp Dogg. Quite a bill.
	♥ 2:35pm full metal monkey: Yeah this is insane
	2:36pm nycmusicnerd: Handy: That's a bit east of me. I'm originally from Sharon--the last PA town on Route 80 before you cross the border into OH.
	♥ 2:37pm full metal monkey: @drr I saw quintron and miss pussycat play in New Orleans. Absolutely sick.
	2:37pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Oneida are like Interpol had a kid with Stereolab.
	♥ 2:38pm prof.fuzz: damn! what an opening line to "rotten"! @drr: story of my life. wrong place wrong time. @fmm: i'd love to play with Q&P sometime. that would be a fun show.
	♥ 2:39pm efd: goddammit I love this stupid song
	2:39pm roc: Hell yeah
	♥ 2:39pm Figgsrock: HOLY CRAP ROGER HODGSON!!!!!!!!
	♥ 2:40pm Figgsrock: I said that out loud after almost spitting out a mouthful of water.
	2:40pm clarke: is this supertramp?
	♥ 2:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This sorta wants to be Abba.
	2:41pm Eugene R.: @clarke: Lead singer of Supertramp, in solo mode
	♥ 2:41pm nathan: YES. what abba song does this sound like? it's killing me
	2:41pm clarke: aha! (no, not Aha).
	♥ 2:41pm dave wuz here: i had breakfast in america just this morning
	♥ 2:41pm nathan: SOS. sounds like SOS
	♥ 2:42pm efd: @nathan I hear strains of "Does Your Mother Know" ...?
	♥ 2:42pm drr: @fmm: what time did the show start? I don't think I've ever seen them in New Orleans cause they wanna start at like 4 a.m. I've only seen them in NY (Mercury Lounge).
	♥ 2:42pm Figgsrock: This track was all over AOR in the fall of 1984. The LP version is like 7 minutes.
	2:43pm R2: Been decades since I've heard this one. Decades!
	♥ 2:43pm efd: and the 45 I have has the LP version on the other side. I almost cued that up by mistake!
	♥ 2:43pm steveo: Weow that made me feel like I was literally inside of 1984
	2:43pm nycmusicnerd: efd: Yeah, I can hear Does Your Mother Know in this as well.
	♥ 2:43pm full metal monkey: @drr. Actually they started around 10 or 11. It was a benifit at tipitnas. I also saw them at wfmu monty hall
	2:44pm clarke: how does a 7 min song fit on one side of 45?
	♥ 2:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, it's SOS....the melody line in the chorus. Thanks nathan! That was driving me nuts.
	♥ 2:44pm karlward: There is an ellipsis somewhere in the middle of all the grooves
	♥ 2:45pm drr: Soon after I met my dad's new Scottish wife, she mentioned she loved Supertramp but didn't bring her Supertramp records from Scotland. I asked why and she said, well, you know, the voltage difference. I feel so bad for laughing in her face.
	♥ 2:45pm Figgsrock: Wow, 7 minutes on the side of a 45 must have taken some tricky cutting at the plant.
	2:45pm clarke: The Voltage Difference. yes.
	♥ 2:47pm Hoboken Jack: Oneida is playing this Sunday at 2pm in Denville NJ. Also, hello everybody!
	2:47pm clarke: jaaack!! sneakin' in.
	♥ 2:47pm drr: @fmm: wait, I think I was at that Tip's show too! It was a tribute to Geoff Douville, if I'm not mistaken, a local musician who is much missed.
	♥ 2:48pm full metal monkey: @drr. Yes it was
	2:48pm P-90: Clicky-Star for “the voltage difference” on LPs. Also for Roger Hodgson.
	♥ 2:49pm full metal monkey: @drr it was years ago. I thought it was a writer that passed.

Listener comments!
	♥ 12:00pm G: Found it haha
	♥ 12:00pm Figgsrock: Ooh, a LG deep cut!
	12:00pm bradford: hey now!
	12:00pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds
	♥ 12:01pm G: City Lady, you're a fine girl
	♥ 12:01pm Various Julius: Hey all.
	♥ 12:02pm Various Julius: Is this Looking Glass a nod to Better Call Saul karaoke?
	♥ 12:03pm efd: @Various Julius I haven't been watching, so no
	♥ 12:03pm drr: As soon as he sad "lady from the city" I thought, "this is the "Brandy" guys.
	♥ 12:04pm Various Julius: I'm o-fer with theories today
	♥ 12:04pm vinylmonkee: Off to a strong start!
	♥ 12:04pm efd: boy, that was a cold ending and a short gap between songs on that Looking Glass record!
	12:05pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This Talking Heads is a super banger. The tension BUILDS so amazingly.
	♥ 12:05pm efd: haven't played this Talking Heads song on my show since 2004!!
	♥ 12:05pm efd: didn't even have a weekly show yet!
	12:05pm HyperDose: Even though the party is in my mind, I'm still going to put my keys in the bowl. Just to be safe.
	♥ 12:06pm luka: happy to spend a lunch hour with you all
	12:08pm Bobobob Plasticland: drank a few cocktails with Jerry Harrison at the Mad Planet a few times .....nice guy
	♥ 12:09pm Figgsrock: EFD, how long have you had a weekly show? I think I've been listening for almost a decade?
	12:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: 1979 was a great year for Post Punk. Talking Heads. Joy Division. PIL. SO MUCH. I am connecting with cold leads on LinkedIn. I can do it to music! In our house we have hooks hanging by the front door for keys. Was Jerry Harrison in both Talking Heads AND Modern Lovers?
	♥ 12:09pm prof.fuzz: howdy y'all
	♥ 12:09pm efd: @Figgsrock Since September 2006.
	♥ 12:11pm Figgsrock: @EFD--Wow, that's an amazing run. And the only break from the schedule was last year?
	♥ 12:13pm efd: @Figgsrock yep, not too bad!
	♥ 12:13pm drr: When Fear Of Music came out, Talking Heads already had a stamp of disapproval in our house (our mom saw them on SNL with us and was what I would describe as disgusted, couldn't believe we liked them). Fear Of Music had such a dark vibe I wasn't sure I liked it at the time. Cut to about a year ago, when my mom asked me "Would I like David Byrne?" and i had the pleasure of answering (truthfully) "yes".
	♥ 12:13pm drr: @Figgsrock: did you get the Paxlovid rebound??
	♥ 12:14pm Figgsrock: Hey, according to the work calendar I was just looking at a couple minutes ago today is the birthday of late War bassist BB Dickerson.
	♥ 12:14pm Figgsrock: @drr, nope, no rebound. Thank goodness.
	♥ 12:14pm efd: oh, funny coincidence! I had no idea.
	♥ 12:15pm efd: haha, just ignore those four guitar notes, you'll hear them again in a minute
	♥ 12:16pm drr: well, I did. Thought I would be better by today but I have at least one more day to go.
	♥ 12:17pm McGroovey: I was just reading about Looking Glass. I didn't realize that they evolved into Starz.
	♥ 12:17pm Figgsrock: @drr--That sucks. This second go around with Covid the only after effect is that my voice is pretty scratchy when I wake up but it improves the longer I'm awake. The first one (pre-vax) I had all sorts of long covid symptons that decreased dramatically after my booster.
	♥ 12:18pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): EFD!!!
	12:20pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Albert Band sounds like they are from 1968 or something.
	♥ 12:20pm prof.fuzz: hope you feel better soon, dave.
	12:23pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. I thought by their sound that the Albert Band were filthy hippies. Does being from Spain make them filthier or more cultured?
	12:24pm clarke: hello all! how did it get to be this late. dang.
	♥ 12:24pm drr: Neckbreakers!!
	12:26pm nycmusicnerd: Maybe I'm hallucinating, but these neckbreakers sound a bit like Joe Jackson to me.
	♥ 12:26pm prof.fuzz: @swingin' neckbreakers: you're not my mom. you can't tell me what to do.
	♥ 12:27pm prof.fuzz: same to the cuts...
	♥ 12:27pm efd: @nycmusicnerd I've never heard that comp before, but you hear what you hear!
	12:28pm clarke: i think they ARE yer mom.
	♥ 12:28pm prof.fuzz: @EFD: I bet you could do a whole show of "band commands" in which songs tell listeners to do stuff.
	12:28pm nycmusicnerd: efd: Listen to these songs back to back with I'm The Man. Or maybe I am hallucinating.
	♥ 12:29pm prof.fuzz: damn, clarke. you might be right. i'm gonna send in a DNA sample to 23 and Your Mom right now!
	12:29pm nycmusicnerd: @Fuzz: I wouldn't mind hearing a show like that!
	♥ 12:29pm Figgsrock: I wondered if we'd hear something from Ardent today.
	12:29pm Andres: !!!
	♥ 12:29pm prof.fuzz: @NYCNerd: I know. that would be really fun.
	♥ 12:31pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wait... I know this song... OH SHIT!!!! Back in the late 80s early 90s, there was a band in Cincinnati called The Love Cowboys who covered Back of A Car! Not being terribly familiar with Big Star, with exposure only 2nd hand, hearing this took my by surprise.
	12:33pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Hi all! Love the Big Star.
	12:34pm clarke: on fiyah davies!!
	♥ 12:34pm Krys O.: An interesting article about John King: dailymemphian.com... He donated his collection to Memphis Listening Lab. Oh, has anyone ever heard Sheriff Jack's cover of Back of a Car? www.discogs.com...
	12:36pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Oh no, John King died... thank you Evan. Wasn't aware. He was a colorful character. In the 1980s he hosted a great program called "Entertainment USA" on the BBC, which would review, well, entertainment in the USA for that week. He loved the US and gave much more insight into the country and culture than we in the UK could get anywhere else.
	♥ 12:37pm Midge: cabello=hair
	♥ 12:37pm McGroovey: the swingin' neckbreakers kick ass. I'd love to see them play live again. I saw them at least 10 years ago with ... I guess the A-Bones and Piggies?
	12:37pm nycmusicnerd: EFD: Ella tiene el cabello rubio = She has blonde hair
	♥ 12:38pm Artie: She has blonde hair
	12:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: SO Albert Band WAS from the late 60's/early 70s! I just knew it....
	12:38pm Paul in the OC: Anthony Band track= She Has Blonde Hair. But of course!
	12:38pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Aargh, I was talking about the wrong John King - I was thinking of JONATHAN King. Still alive!
	♥ 12:39pm Mike Sin: That "Spanish Trip" comp is definitely worth having and can still be had for cheap: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:39pm Jessie: John King owned just north of 40,000 records which he donated in 2019 to the Memphis Listening Lab.
	12:39pm clarke: was wondering if there was an alternate universe for a sec. (there probably still is)
	12:40pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Talking Heads first album is a bit manic. In a good way. Kinda hyper.
	12:44pm clarke: FuZZZ - isn't Pennywhistle Park an amusement park in the Dallas area?? or was??
	♥ 12:44pm efd: thanks for the Spanish help and additional John King info/links!
	♥ 12:44pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: Yes. www.dallasnews.com...
	♥ 12:46pm prof.fuzz: it was pretty close to where we live.
	♥ 12:46pm efd: @prof That makes sense, right, since I think you'd mentioned Crystal Furs were originally from Dallas before moving to Portland?
	12:46pm clarke: thanks, unable to get past their subscription to read article. but i thought so.
	♥ 12:47pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Talking Heads: _maybe_ I had heard Psycho Killer before Fear of Music came out. I remember seeing ads for it in Creem. Picked it up and man....What The Hell Is This??!!!! I wore that sucker out.
	♥ 12:47pm prof.fuzz: Yeah, Crystal Furs were from Fort Worth before moving to Portland a few years ago. sorry for the paywalled link, clarke. i'm not a DMN subscriber, but it opened for me anyways.
	12:48pm clarke: that's because you got the magic!!
	♥ 12:48pm prof.fuzz: fuzz magic!
	12:48pm clarke: (never too chilly for twilley!)
	12:49pm nycmusicnerd: Nice to be able to put my bachelor's degree to use! :)
	12:50pm clarke: good album - all the way
	12:51pm clarke: just got the vinyl on this, this week!
	♥ 12:53pm prof.fuzz: i've got a record and a skateboard both supposed to arrive in today's mail...
	♥ 12:54pm efd: yeah, the bandcamp page for Tony Jay lists it as coming out a year ago... vinyl is pretty new to us here at the station.
	12:54pm clarke: hopefully one will not warp the other.
	12:55pm clarke: a friend of mine is getting an SVT head mailed to him - yipe!
	12:55pm clarke: i think they are like 80+ pounds??
	♥ 12:56pm drr: there are gonna be stamps all over that thing
	12:56pm clarke: covered an smothereed
	♥ 12:56pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: yikes! that's gonna be a LOT of stamp glue to clean off of that head.
	♥ 12:57pm prof.fuzz: technically, the record is coming via usps and the skateboard is fed ex.
	12:57pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: I like the old SVT heads - and amps! They were a bargain in the 90’s anyway
	12:57pm clarke: which brings to mind, DRR: any interest on hitting the 'new' Waffle House on jeff hwy/claiborne?? (when you get well, that is)
	12:59pm ChukAmok: I had a bit of the same confusion when I played Tony Jay on my show a couple weeks ago. The vinyl is a more recent press than the BC release.
	♥ 1:00pm prof.fuzz: Legit "new release." Bands/artists should be able to have two release parties, one for digital/CD and another for vinyl, given the vinyl production delays these days.
	1:00pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hello efd. Rock on brother!!!
	1:01pm clarke: also FuZZ, i consider an album to be 'new' a lot longer, these days. in general.
	♥ 1:02pm prof.fuzz: me too, clarke. time has become all-smashed-up during the plague years.
	1:03pm clarke: u got that right!
	1:03pm clarke: the Prof has FUZZY special pillows!
	♥ 1:05pm prof.fuzz: almost all of the fuzz on my pillows is from a couple of boston terriers...
	1:05pm clarke: did not know you had bostons!! wow!! niice!
	1:06pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Excellent tune efd!!!!
	♥ 1:06pm prof.fuzz: monk and cricket, both nine years old. they are my unofficial teaching assistants.
	1:06pm clarke: they're a lovable sort!
	♥ 1:07pm efd: hey Danny, glad you liked it!
	1:07pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Peace De Resistance sound like Roxy Music playing the Velvet Underground.
	1:07pm clarke: i think you just 1099'd me!!
	1:07pm Glistener MW: great new Special Pillow track!
	1:08pm Glistener MW: I hope that one and this begat a whole set about big-tech horrors
	♥ 1:08pm efd: @MW sorry to say it's just a two-song theme!
	1:09pm Glistener MW: something about the fuzz/production on this PdR track is driving my dog crazy!
	♥ 1:10pm drr: actually I prefer that you 1099 me.
	1:10pm clarke: at the Waffle House??
	♥ 1:11pm drr: I was just commenting on my current financial setup for freelancing.
	♥ 1:12pm drr: I'll do Waffle House but was more looking forward to revisiting the Frostop.
	1:12pm clarke: did you ever get the $ out of that client?
	1:13pm clarke: oh right - frostop. yes. get well soon!
	♥ 1:13pm drr: clarke, yes I did!
	1:13pm clarke: good!! he 1099'd u.
	1:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK this is a Stereolab cover!
	♥ 1:16pm mndave: And a great one at that!
	♥ 1:17pm efd: you're both right!
	♥ 1:17pm drr: I had to get fingerprinted and background checked for that bit of work. (federal government is the end client, highly sensitive stuff you know)
	♥ 1:17pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Ted Leo's reminding me of Buck Dharma here.
	1:17pm clarke: highly sensitive shit.
	♥ 1:18pm Figgsrock: Ted Leo is one of the greatest interpreters of other people's songs in the past 25 years.
	1:18pm clarke: Woods - do you have that Buck Dharma solo album ? good one!
	♥ 1:19pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @clarke: Actually, no. I didn't even know he did one!
	1:20pm clarke: oh yeah - it ain't easy to find. it's worth a discogs purchase
	1:20pm clarke: it's a bit more power pop than the Cult
	♥ 1:21pm Figgsrock: That Traffic cover on the latest Ted Leo EP is excellent too.
	1:21pm clarke: CNSMAH could be ambience.
	1:24pm sally: Thanks for playing the Mutants. Sounds great. Love your show.
	♥ 1:24pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @clarke: Available in the iTunes store so I'll have to check it out. Discogs too. Thanks!
	♥ 1:25pm Stevel: Oh, yeah! All creepy, all the time!
	1:27pm Marc15: The Special Pillow’s record label is Zofko
	♥ 1:28pm efd: @Marc15 Thank you!
	1:28pm clarke: hmm.. interesting always wondered the pronunciation of Vauxhall. or is it americanized?
	♥ 1:28pm Figgsrock: Okay, this Prowler is creepy yet awesome at the same time.
	♥ 1:28pm efd: @sally Thank you! Would that be Sally W... ??
	1:29pm Marc15: @efd: You are very welcome!
	♥ 1:29pm efd: @Figgsrock EXACTLY!!
	♥ 1:30pm Figgsrock: @EFD--I hope you play it again around Halloween.
	1:31pm sally: yes it is
	♥ 1:31pm efd: @sally Nice to have you here! Thanks so much for listening!
	♥ 1:33pm efd: @Figgsrock I'm not sure I'll be able to take enough showers between now and Halloween to get to a point where I could play it again
	♥ 1:33pm Figgsrock: @EFD--HAHAHAHAHA
	♥ 1:34pm prof.fuzz: 2.5 miles of mental floss might help, efd.
	♥ 1:35pm prof.fuzz: creepy in a "stray cat blues" kinda way, but way more catchy.
	1:37pm clarke: it's no capital crime.
	♥ 1:37pm Figgsrock: EFD--have you played anything from that Miles Out to Sea comp yet?
	♥ 1:37pm prof.fuzz: @clarke: it's not, but you'll lose points against your drivers license.
	♥ 1:38pm efd: @Figgsrock it's coming up!
	1:38pm MG: Ahhh. St Et. Thanks.
	1:39pm clarke: i'm about a 50%'er on St. Ettienne
	1:40pm clarke: much prefer "her" songs.
	1:42pm roc: Dark themes in this cute song
	♥ 1:46pm efd: gotta love a key change
	♥ 1:46pm drr: this is driving me crazy--ah, ok, it changed.
	♥ 1:47pm Mike Sin: Cherry Red's dedication to these 3-CD clamshell compilations of codified genres and such are always so incredible. I'm amazed that they can still be supported in this market.
	♥ 1:48pm Figgsrock: Yes! I think Kompilation Korner would be a great addition to the show each week
	1:48pm clarke: we're gonna need some more airhorns.

	1:54pm clarke: the only thing i like about social media is the airhorn.
	♥ 1:55pm joe mulligan: was just hoping to hear some airhorn
	♥ 1:56pm Krys O.: It sounds treasonous, but I used to listen to a streaming channel called And the Beat Goes On about 7-8 years ago. It was heavy on obscure British and Australian hits of the 60s and 70s. They're defunct now.
	♥ 1:56pm James Douglas: I'm pretty sure Mark Hurst winces during the EFD Social Media Airhorn each week.
	♥ 1:57pm efd: @James I don't doubt it.
	1:57pm clarke: speaking of treason - did anyone ever listen to Deeper Into Music (a streaming one-dj 'radio show')?? it was really good.

	♥ 2:05pm full metal monkey: Hello EFD, Handy, Fuzz and ever else

	2:22pm clarke: see? i knew dave would know!
	2:23pm clarke: the rock i live under only allows the thunder (and some EFD) to leak in.
	♥ 2:27pm luka: Radio Row just killing it lately
	♥ 2:33pm Handy Haversack: nymn: Clarion.
	♥ 2:34pm full metal monkey: White hills rule
	♥ 2:34pm efd: Clarion! I don't think that's far from New Bethlehem and Distant, where my late stepfather grew up. Went on several family trips there in the '70s.
	2:34pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: White Hills reminds me of Monster Magnet.
	♥ 2:34pm efd: @fmm you are correct.
	♥ 2:35pm drr: fuzz: Had you been in Berlin last week, you could have seen Quintron and Pussycat open for Swamp Dogg. Quite a bill.
	♥ 2:35pm full metal monkey: Yeah this is insane
	2:36pm nycmusicnerd: Handy: That's a bit east of me. I'm originally from Sharon--the last PA town on Route 80 before you cross the border into OH.
	♥ 2:37pm full metal monkey: @drr I saw quintron and miss pussycat play in New Orleans. Absolutely sick.

	♥ 2:40pm Figgsrock: I said that out loud after almost spitting out a mouthful of water.
	2:40pm clarke: is this supertramp?
	♥ 2:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This sorta wants to be Abba.
	2:41pm Eugene R.: @clarke: Lead singer of Supertramp, in solo mode
	♥ 2:41pm nathan: YES. what abba song does this sound like? it's killing me
	2:41pm clarke: aha! (no, not Aha).
	♥ 2:41pm dave wuz here: i had breakfast in america just this morning
	♥ 2:41pm nathan: SOS. sounds like SOS
	♥ 2:42pm efd: @nathan I hear strains of "Does Your Mother Know" ...?
	♥ 2:42pm drr: @fmm: what time did the show start? I don't think I've ever seen them in New Orleans cause they wanna start at like 4 a.m. I've only seen them in NY (Mercury Lounge).
	♥ 2:42pm Figgsrock: This track was all over AOR in the fall of 1984. The LP version is like 7 minutes.
	2:43pm R2: Been decades since I've heard this one. Decades!
	♥ 2:43pm efd: and the 45 I have has the LP version on the other side. I almost cued that up by mistake!
	♥ 2:43pm steveo: Weow that made me feel like I was literally inside of 1984
	2:43pm nycmusicnerd: efd: Yeah, I can hear Does Your Mother Know in this as well.
	♥ 2:43pm full metal monkey: @drr. Actually they started around 10 or 11. It was a benifit at tipitnas. I also saw them at wfmu monty hall
	2:44pm clarke: how does a 7 min song fit on one side of 45?
	♥ 2:44pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, it's SOS....the melody line in the chorus. Thanks nathan! That was driving me nuts.
	♥ 2:44pm karlward: There is an ellipsis somewhere in the middle of all the grooves
	♥ 2:45pm drr: Soon after I met my dad's new Scottish wife, she mentioned she loved Supertramp but didn't bring her Supertramp records from Scotland. I asked why and she said, well, you know, the voltage difference. I feel so bad for laughing in her face.
	♥ 2:45pm Figgsrock: Wow, 7 minutes on the side of a 45 must have taken some tricky cutting at the plant.
	2:45pm clarke: The Voltage Difference. yes.
	♥ 2:47pm Hoboken Jack: Oneida is playing this Sunday at 2pm in Denville NJ. Also, hello everybody!
	2:47pm clarke: jaaack!! sneakin' in.
	♥ 2:47pm drr: @fmm: wait, I think I was at that Tip's show too! It was a tribute to Geoff Douville, if I'm not mistaken, a local musician who is much missed.
	♥ 2:48pm full metal monkey: @drr. Yes it was
	2:48pm P-90: Clicky-Star for “the voltage difference” on LPs. Also for Roger Hodgson.
	♥ 2:49pm full metal monkey: @drr it was years ago. I thought it was a writer that passed.
	2:49pm clarke: that's a pretty good band name - if not for The Voltage Brothers
	♥ 2:49pm full metal monkey: @jack. Hello
	2:49pm clarke: must've been two diff events, as douville just passed last winter
	♥ 2:49pm drr: I saw Geoff passing by in a parade playing a banjo. I said "What the hell kinda guitar is that?" and Geoff said: "A Flying O."
	♥ 2:50pm drr: well, @fmm we may have seen two separate tributes; this was 2020. But thanks for giving me the opening to get Geoff's Flying O joke in.
	♥ 2:50pm full metal monkey: @drr. I didn’t know him. I was on vacation with girlfriend and had tickets to the event. There was also a silent auction
	2:51pm clarke: another good band name!
	2:51pm clarke: A Silent Auction
	♥ 2:52pm Various Julius: Here for Flying X jokes.
	♥ 2:52pm prof.fuzz: i'm gonna put a "Universal Voltage: Compatible with Most US/UK/EU Playback Systems" sticker on our records.
	♥ 2:52pm full metal monkey: @clarke. Lol your right
	♥ 2:52pm McGroovey: Oneida is playing in Denville? I gotta find out about that. Well, the first thing is to figure out where Denville is...

	2:54pm clarke: nope - wanted to!
