	♥ 12:00pm Figgsrock: That is quite the back cover on your socials EFD.
	♥ 12:01pm efd: I should have called in Jim Price to fill that 11:59-12:00 slot!
	12:01pm Andres: Seventies started early ;) Fiery entrance!
	12:03pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...

	♥ 12:03pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Thanks for providing 1970s content today EFD!
	12:04pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Hi E Funk D and his funky bunch!
	♥ 12:04pm vinylmonkee: Oh I'm searching all right ✨
	♥ 12:05pm drr: I was busy trying to figure out the mystery first-song band and missed the song.
	♥ 12:06pm luka: hello funkers. getting lunch and hitting the road for Pet Shop Boys.
	♥ 12:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I loved that Rachel Sweet record. Especially "Tonight Ricky"...hooboy.
	♥ 12:10pm Jessie: Cast unfortunately got buried under the Brit Pop of Blur, Oasis, Kula Shaker and Charlatans. Too bad because All Change is really good.
	12:12pm nycmusicnerd: Wow. Shaun Cassidy...
	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: Nice, luka! Anyone else seeing BÖC in NŸC tonight?
	♥ 12:13pm drr: Count on WFMU to play those obscure forgotten artists of previous decades.
	12:13pm Prodigal Daughter: I’m not ashamed to say that I had a Shaun Cassidy poster in my room as a kid. He was a cutie patootie!!
	12:13pm ?: i thought this was elton john!
	12:14pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and funkateers. Just found out that Grace Jones did a cover of Flash & The Pan's "Walkin' in the Rain". Thought you'd like to know ...
	12:15pm brainiac: Do you remember The 21st night of September?
	♥ 12:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Should be fun. They were the first "big" band I ever saw...at the dinky Civic Center in Augusta, Maine.
	♥ 12:15pm efd: @Carmichael Oh I am aware! wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:16pm Jessie: Shaun Cassidy's album Wasp, which Todd Rundgren produced, is basically him fronting Utopia.
	12:16pm nycmusicnerd: Prodigal Daughter: I was more of a Rick Springfield person.
	♥ 12:17pm efd: @Jessie I'm gonna pick that up one of these days...
	♥ 12:18pm drr: @Jessie: there's an interview with him on YT, talking about that; it's pretty interesting. He knew what he was getting into.
	♥ 12:18pm artbrau: I bet an album where Utopia backs Shaun Cassidy sounds different than an album where Shaun fronts Utopia.
	♥ 12:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Jessie: Dang it, now I have to listen to some Shaun Cassidy!
	12:18pm love2laf: Happy Funky Day efd and all the rest of you Funksters. Sad to have missed the start & Shaun Cassidy, I too had the poster up on my wall. Lost an hour of my day trying to update credit card info on pre auths, and completely failed on the last one. Guess I'm getting rid of satellite.
	12:20pm Will: Shaun has covered "Rebel Rebel," "The Book I Read" and "So Sad About Us." Who knew!
	♥ 12:21pm brycepunk1: EFD, it's always a pleasure. Good afternoon :)
	♥ 12:22pm Krys O.: This is not the usual Helen Shapiro sound to my ears.
	♥ 12:22pm Polyus: There is a spot I always like to hit for a cheap English breakfast right near Euston Station.
	♥ 12:22pm Krys O.: Vocal sound, I mean.
	♥ 12:23pm Krys O.: I think that is supposed to be Barbara Ruskin.
	♥ 12:24pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Damn, I loved that first Dire Straits album when it came out.
	♥ 12:24pm prof.fuzz: Hi EFD! Funkers! Wurking and Lurking again today...
	♥ 12:24pm Krys O.: It's Barbara Ruskin: i.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:25pm efd: whoops, thanks Krys! Misread the track listing on the CD!
	♥ 12:25pm karlward: If you squint you can kind of hear what a Knopfler-produced Lennon record might have sounded like
	♥ 12:25pm Figgsrock: Wait, isn't this "Setting me Up." or am I going mad?
	♥ 12:26pm Krys O.: No worries, efd. Glad to help. I'm a fan of Helen Shapiro.
	♥ 12:27pm artbrau: @handy BandsInTown is unaware of BÖC so I was unaware. But Holy Crap, they are doing Secret Treaties entire on Friday. Bucket list but ticketmaster resale is $387. Gulp.
	♥ 12:27pm Figgsrock: Whew. Glad to know I'm not going nuts EFD.
	12:28pm love2laf: Early Happy Birthday efd, home you have a great day, and wishing you all the best for your new year!
	12:30pm Prodigal Daughter: nycmusicnerd: Rick is playing in Waterloo and Port Chester next week! If you miss him then you can see him in Riviera Maya, Mexico in October.
	♥ 12:31pm Krys O.: Skateaway was a fave Dire Straits song for me back then.
	♥ 12:32pm Krys O.: When Rick Springfield still had his Aussie accent, he appeared on a Burns & Schreiber Saturday morning kids TV show.
	♥ 12:34pm karlward: ZZ Top mode engage
	♥ 12:36pm karlward: I always enjoy the "Hair Choices" segment of EFD's program
	12:36pm nycmusicnerd: Prodigal Daughter: Those are a bit too far for me to travel. I hope he plays in NYC again someday. I don't think I've seen him since 2012.
	12:36pm Androu B.: Hello and advance birthday wishes, efd! And no worries, we all have those days! And excited to know Duane & his train make a comeback next week! ¡Buenas tardes, Handy! And hello to everyone else! Hope Jack Mello brought you through the morning alright!
	♥ 12:37pm Krys O.: Here's Rick Springfield in said Burns & Schreiber show: youtu.be...
	♥ 12:37pm McGroovey: There was also a Rubinoos & Utopia EP in the early '80s. Is it called "Room Service"? I don't feel like checking. It's not horrible, but it's not a peak for either band.
	♥ 12:38pm Handy Haversack: ¡Hola, Androu B.!
	♥ 12:39pm vinylmonkee: @Krys O and here I'd almost forgotten about Avery Schreiber!
	♥ 12:39pm prof.fuzz: the judges would have also accepted "peach impediment"...
	♥ 12:40pm McGroovey: Well, I have to get back to trying to fix the microwave. I fixed the pipes under the kitchen sink yesterday. I should look for handyman work
	♥ 12:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What a day. We get EFD, news of a DuaneTrane fill-in, and a gigantic lawsuit against the orange baboon. Woo! Also, I'm having pizza later.
	♥ 12:40pm karlward: McGroovey: when you're done with that I have a busted electrical outlet in the garage
	12:40pm BAMstutz: The music is good
	♥ 12:41pm McGroovey: @karlward oh, that's probably an easy one. You could DIY.
	♥ 12:44pm Handy Haversack: Gotta work on the business plan, McGroove! karlward, send in your retainer. One of our home consultants will get back to you ASAP.
	12:44pm Carmichael: @Evan, I thought you would already know of the Jones cover, but new to me. That's an amazing tribute you did in 2017! Even a Marcus Hook tune, that's deep diving!
	♥ 12:45pm prof.fuzz: mcG is living out my favorite Foreigner song: "Jukebox Repairman (he's got pliers in his eyes!)"
	♥ 12:45pm DjLorraine: Haha
	♥ 12:46pm McGroovey: @prof.fuzz Oh, you gave me teenage flashbacks, and it's makin' nervous nervous nervous
	12:48pm Carmichael: I like the Foreigner song Virgin (Urgent). Virgin emergency ... 🎵
	♥ 12:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Good day everyone! This Ginger Root is so yachty bouncy.
	12:50pm nycmusicnerd: Carmichael: Fun fact--you can mash the chorus of "Feels Like The First Time" with the chorus of "Like A Virgin".
	♥ 12:52pm McGroovey: @Carmichael I always remember that song as "nervous nervous nervous". If I remember it, which I just did, which is giving me even more angsty flashbacks. Ugh
	12:57pm Carmichael: @nycmusicnerd, try mashing the following: Men At Work, It's a Mistake The Tubes, No Not Again 38 Special, Hold On Loosely Lots and lots of variations. I'm still in the editing process.
	1:00pm ?: I'm a Homo Sapien too!
	♥ 1:00pm Power Papi: I'm getting "Homosapien" vibes from this "animal" song
	1:00pm reese: This sounds much like Gary Numan
	1:01pm Androu B.: This song's main chord sounds like it was ripped off from "My Sharona".
	1:01pm nycmusicnerd: Carmichael: Interesting. Next time I hear one of those songs I'll have to remember that. Here's where I heard the Foreigner/Madonna mashup. It's at the end of the song: open.spotify.com...
	♥ 1:01pm efd: @reese Hold that thought...
	♥ 1:02pm Handy Haversack: Now this sounds like Gary Numan. Hello, ... NUMAN.
	♥ 1:03pm Figgsrock: Oh wow EFD, I was just thinking "this song sounds like something else."
	1:03pm ZACH ALL CAPS: MY SHARONA!!!
	1:04pm Androu B.: ..and another mashup comes into the world!
	♥ 1:05pm efd: tubeway army's LP came out before "My Sharona" I'm pretty sure
	♥ 1:05pm Jack McGuire: Gary Numan. A proud member of the John Foxx Era of Ultravox fanclub.
	1:07pm slocker: Jammin'
	1:07pm love2laf: Is the weather bad when the weather radar page says the radar is not available? Yikes, time to get under the covers. Keep losing internet, hoping the power stays on so I can have the musical happiness going. This set is on fire.
	1:07pm coldax: Animal sounded like Homo Sapien by Pete Shelly (buzzcocks solo)
	♥ 1:11pm efd: someone else mentioned "Homosapien," and honestly I didn't hear that, but maybe because I homed in on Tubeway Army right away.
	♥ 1:13pm efd: @love2laf be careful out there!
	♥ 1:19pm Handy Haversack: Between the Reds, Pinks, and Purples and Green/Blue, we've got a lot of the color wheel covered -- and they're all going for GBV levels of prolificness! McGroove, let's start a band called Yellow Oranges and release fifteen albums next month!
	1:24pm Stuart Troutman: my little coincidence was that I was pushed by 'Animal' to search for a Buzzcocks tune called 'Animal' (didn't find one)...
	♥ 1:24pm Figgsrock: This Last Dinosaurs gives me a Phoenix-ish vibe, and I mean that as a high compliment.
	♥ 1:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD and pals! Driving around but enjoying the show as always.
	1:28pm Nicepunk: Hi Evan… great show as always! Fast WFMU question as I’ve recently rediscovered the station since the early 80s… Are the multiple streams all live ? Thanks so much and again I enjoy your show
	♥ 1:28pm McGroovey: @Handy I'm in. I'm not joking, if you're not joking
	♥ 1:29pm van chinski: omg haven't heard this Fixx song in so long
	♥ 1:31pm efd: @Nicepunk Thanks! The alternate streams have a mix of live and non-live programming. If you go to the WFMU homepage there are links to the different streams' schedules.
	♥ 1:32pm efd: @van chinski I was hoping to get that response from somebody!
	♥ 1:32pm Figgsrock: This Fixx album (I think you mean Shuttered Room, EFD?) is one of my holy grails of never being able to find it on CD.
	♥ 1:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Heyo. Just sticking my head in during a rough work day.
	1:33pm Nicepunk: @efd thanks!
	♥ 1:33pm Handy Haversack: I know, McGroove. But lack of ability means I have to be joking. I'll kick it up the ladder to K8, though! Hey, Threemoons!
	♥ 1:34pm efd: oh yeah, I fell into the trap of thinking the first LP was self-titled. That's three strikes on today's playlist, I'm out!
	♥ 1:35pm Figgsrock: EFD--Ha! It's funny how that album is so hard to find. Not on streaming, only one CD reissue in the mid-90s. I have a sort of beat up vinyl copy I bought in Austin many years ago.
	1:36pm HyperDose: Tin Ear rules, but the album art is what really sold me: f4.bcbits.com...
	1:37pm Carmichael: @Evan, I thought that was some kind of musical federal law. 1st LP must be eponymous.
	♥ 1:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Charlotte Something is a Cure song.
	♥ 1:39pm McGroovey: @Handy well, you at least have to write lyrics.
	♥ 1:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @HH and @McGroove I think you SHOULD start your own band! I actually still own my old saxophone...
	1:40pm HyperDose: Owl and the Pussycat: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	1:40pm JetBoy now of Astoria: That IS a nice cover
	♥ 1:40pm Handy Haversack: 3Moons: Charlotte SomeTIMES.
	♥ 1:40pm The Oscar: Busy working, but I had to drop everything to look at the catship!
	♥ 1:41pm karlward: Handy have you read the Penelope Farmer book? I quite like it.
	♥ 1:41pm McGroovey: @Threemoons can you still play it? That's a stupid question. Even if you can't play it, you still should.
	♥ 1:42pm Jack McGuire: For the longest time my holy grail was the Lolita Nation cd, which it took me a few years to track down. Now I just want a download of Sault's Nine, which is the greatest. Sault removed it from streaming and download services 90 days after release, by design. Scarcity is the modern day marketing strategy.
	♥ 1:42pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @McGroovey "A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion but doesn't" -- Tom Waits
	♥ 1:42pm karlward: Handy & McGroovey: I don't think there is enough claustrophobic sampled disco with Fall-like nonsensical shouting over the music. No talent or ability is required to fulfill this dream.
	1:44pm BH: speaking of putting up with the weather, shoutout from the midwest where the temperature is about to drop 20 degrees
	♥ 1:44pm efd: @HyperDose that's a different Owl & Pussycat from the one I was thinking of!
	1:44pm LesleyK: Hey efd and all!
	1:45pm HyperDose: Ah, must have gotten the mass market paperback edition 😄
	1:47pm herb.nyc: Hola. Los Beths were terrific at the free prospect park show this summer. They wore hoodies up and set up their own gear, yeah!
	♥ 1:48pm efd: now I wonder if I'm thinking of another book's art... I did a quick search on O&P and none of those covers are what I'm thinking of
	♥ 1:49pm drr: karlward: I had the Fall tune "Oxymoron" come up on my walking playlist, and it pretty much fits your description.
	♥ 1:52pm McGroovey: @karlward Claustrophobic sampled disco? Shoot me now.
	♥ 1:52pm karlward: McGroovey: now we have a chorus
	♥ 1:52pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd: Maybe it was a movie poster in the Combat Zone in Boston in the late 70's. Ha. (Sorry, not enthralled with work today...)
	♥ 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, LesleyK!
	1:52pm Carmichael: Also speaking of weather, it has been raining for the last 2 days. Sure beats the 116 we had a few weeks ago.
	♥ 1:53pm prof.fuzz: @3M: Perfect Pitch defined: The sound heard when an accordion lands on top of a banjo in a dumpster.
	♥ 1:53pm Various Julius: My CD holy grail used to be Miracle Legion on Rough Trade. When I found a used copy of Me and Mr. Ray in a shop my heart skipped a beat.
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: karlward (@1:41): no, I don't think I ever have! Will keep an eye our.
	♥ 1:55pm Handy Haversack: I mean an Eeyore, of course. Damn dentures.
	♥ 1:55pm McGroovey: @prof.fuzz I actually have a banjo, but I've never played it, gentleman that I am.
	1:56pm LesleyK: Hey Handy!
	♥ 1:57pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--I love that feel of discovering something like that out in the wild (as opposed to searching Discogs).
	♥ 1:57pm prof.fuzz: @mcG: get an accordion and refuse to play it too and you'll be a Sage!
	♥ 1:57pm McGroovey: I've somehow never heard the Lightning Seeds before. I remember seeing CDs in the nineties. I assumed they sucked, but I didn't know. There was to much else to listen to and to buy to find out.
	1:57pm LesleyK: Oh I'm bummed I missed the Beths in prospect park ..didn't even know about that.
	♥ 1:58pm Jack McGuire: Both Copeland and Paddy McAloon have made endearing and enduring music featuring the banjo.
	♥ 1:58pm efd: @Figgs & Various - that exact feeling is why I almost never order records from Discogs (or eBay). So much more fun to just come across it in a bin somewhere when you least expect it.
	♥ 1:58pm McGroovey: I do have a banjo uke, and I've actually played that a lot. It's just a loud ukulele, though.
	♥ 2:00pm Figgsrock: @efd--I only order from either when I'm really stupidly desperate to get my hands on something (like when I ordered a crazy Sade extended version of "Smooth Operator" after seeing it in a video) or I need it for an upcoming gig.
	♥ 2:02pm drr: I'm the opposite, I love to order from Discogs and then forget about it so I get surprised when I pen it.
	♥ 2:02pm drr: open it.
	2:03pm Danny San: some good stuff
	2:08pm milknpie: if only that pesky drawbridge stuck open didn't exist, they could be connected
	2:08pm ?: that greenway/bike trail sounds very exciting
	♥ 2:11pm Handy Haversack: Since it's on the Fill-Ins page not the Upcoming events page, I'll just quote that our own Air Horn Supporter Coutney Noir is going to do a fill-in! The great KZUM.org DJ Courtney Noir guest hosts for Terre T Wednesday, September 28th, 6pm - 8pm on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T (on Rock'n'Soul Radio stream)
	♥ 2:11pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Hey, the hotel just opened up a few more rooms if anyone needs.
	2:12pm Androu B.: efd, OMG! That was EXACTLY the name I was also suggesting for Mona's show! Great mind's think alike! (And by "great", I mean "cleverly creative"!)
	♥ 2:13pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @McGroovey: I kind of remember the song "Pure" being a minor hit for The Lightning Seeds (late 80's??)
	2:13pm HyperDose: Gonna treat yourself to a lil rocking out, 3M?
	♥ 2:15pm Various Julius: Hey she's kind of singing in this one
	2:15pm HyperDose: Also super stoked for your Cherry Blossom Clinic fill-in tonight, Lesley!
	2:16pm Androu B.: @WoodsOfNH - "Pure" was only a hit due to the MV for it getting steady rotation on MTV at the time.
	♥ 2:17pm Handy Haversack: Wow, I scrolled right past that, HyperD! Thanks! DJ LesleyK guest hosts Cherry Blossom Clinic Wednesday, September 21st, 6pm - 8pm on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T (on Rock'n'Soul Radio stream) wfmu.org...
	2:17pm LesleyK: Thanks HyperDose!
	2:18pm LesleyK: And thanks Handy! Honored that TT is letting an amateur like me take over this evening :)
	♥ 2:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Androu B.: I kind of remember hearing it on WBNC in Boston back then but hey, that was a loooong time ago.
	♥ 2:18pm drr: The Shares...is that Bullwinkle on vocals?
	♥ 2:19pm McGroovey: WoodsOfNH (now Maine)@2:13 Maybe. But I was listening to WFMU, to to hits radio.
	♥ 2:19pm drr: This is like Steely Dan and Ian Dury had a baby.
	♥ 2:19pm DjLorraine: Congrats Lesley K! I can't get the image of EFD as king out if my mind
	2:20pm Carmichael: Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat!
	2:21pm nycmusicnerd: Nothin up my sleeve...PRESTO!
	2:21pm brainiac: @LesleyK: Good luck on your fill-in shift! Will there be air horn? @Handy: Cool station link to KZUM.org Thanks muchly!
	2:21pm myna: checking in from Banjul ... this has me bopping as i walk down the beach
	♥ 2:23pm Handy Haversack: Excited for this album!
	♥ 2:23pm efd: @myna Thanks for tuning in, great to have you here!
	2:23pm LesleyK: Thanks DJ Lorraine and brainiac!
	2:24pm ?: wow Banjul in Gambia
	♥ 2:24pm Ryansterlingvirtue: really enjoying today's show. Thanks, EFD!
	2:25pm JetBoy now of Astoria: @myna - I bet Banjul is pretty
	2:26pm ?: the internet is amazing to me still
	♥ 2:28pm Handy Haversack: A toastie is like a grilled sandwich. Sod's is sod's, I'd guess.
	2:29pm ?: Sods Toastie sounds like something you’d eat to cure a hangover
	2:29pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Love that Hard Rock Potato! 🥔
	2:31pm love2laf: Storm is over, an hour later I've got the internet fixed. Now 30 minutes of air horns and Funk.
	♥ 2:31pm Handy Haversack: SMAH! And I am mediated.
	♥ 2:34pm ILikedWaterworld: Harry Harrison... mmmmm
	2:34pm slocker: I love HH!
	♥ 2:35pm DjLorraine: Short song
	♥ 2:35pm Figgsrock: "we live in the age of the computer." You got that right Harry.
	♥ 2:35pm ILikedWaterworld: ...the puking
	2:35pm P-90: Can’t get enough of Harry. Never could.
	2:35pm Laurie H: lol Harry Harrison! My dad used to ride the train with him to NYC from the suburbs, he got me his autograph when i was a kid. blast from the past!!
	♥ 2:36pm efd: @Laurie H, that's amazing!
	♥ 2:37pm efd: lol, "Peter"
	♥ 2:39pm Krys O.: Aw, Harry. New York's Morning Mayor.
	♥ 2:40pm steveo: "According to Pete Townshend’s autobiography, 'Happy Jack' is Paul McCartney’s favourite Who song."
	2:40pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Can probably guarantee you… Key word: probably That is an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one: “probably guarantee” Oh Harry…
	♥ 2:41pm McGroovey: I have to take a break from fixing the microwave. I need a screwdriver that I don't have. It's a 6-point star with round thing in the middle so that a regular 6-point doesn't work. It's even more annoying than the 8-point star drivers I had to buy to fix my VW... more annoying because I think what I'm going to discover when I open this up is that something is wrong that's not worth fixing, and I'll have bought the special weird 6-point tool for nothing.
	♥ 2:42pm McGroovey: Oh And I never bought Fade, so I've never heard this YLT dying before. It's nice. I mean "nice" in a good way.
	♥ 2:42pm McGroovey: *YLT song
	♥ 2:44pm Figgsrock: I will admit that I have an alarm in my calendar to let me know when Superchunk start their set on Saturday.
	2:45pm JetBoy now of Astoria: I bought a ticket to Frantic, excited to see almost all the bands
	♥ 2:45pm Handy Haversack: LesleyK, I'm going to see BÖC and will have to miss your fill-in tonight, dang it! I will check it out on the archives.
	2:46pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Superchunk being one. Last saw them at a tiny club in Chapel Hill. Was excellent.
	2:46pm HyperDose: Have fun, Handy. BOC rules!
	2:47pm Carmichael: @McGroovey, you can never have too many tools. The more unique, the better.
	♥ 2:48pm Handy Haversack: Been talking up Control Top and have a set of my friends going to the show tomorrow night that I can't go to. Thanks, HyperD!
	2:48pm Carmichael: Look for that swiss cheese guitar, Handy!
	♥ 2:48pm _Ike_: Awesome Superchunk. Was I overthinking or was that song potentially about climate change?
	2:48pm LesleyK: Have fun tonight Handy!
	♥ 2:49pm _Ike_: BÖC is Boards öf Canada, right? LOL
	♥ 2:50pm Figgsrock: @_IKE_--Most definitely a climate change inspired track. Mac mentioned that in a few interviews.
	♥ 2:50pm Jack McGuire: Great show. Thanks EFD!
	♥ 2:51pm Jessie: @Handy Haversack--You picked a great night to see BOC. They are playing their debut record in its entirety. You guys have fun.
	2:51pm love2laf: LOL Ike not Bank Of Canada, eh?
	♥ 2:52pm paddy in matawan: every time I head this bed music, I always think that the guitar part came from Back in the New York Groove. Please someone help me out.
	♥ 2:53pm Jessie: @Paddy--I think the guitar part is from The Guess Who-American Woman.
	♥ 2:53pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Jelly that you are seeing BOC
	♥ 2:53pm Various Julius: heyo!
	♥ 2:53pm efd: Jessie is correct
	♥ 2:54pm Handy Haversack: I know, Jessie! Very excited. Would have loved to go tomorrow, too, but K8's parents are coming to town.
	♥ 2:54pm paddy in matawan: Ahhhhhhh thanks and great show!
	♥ 2:54pm McGroovey: @Carmichael @2:47 I just used a crowbar. If I can fix it, these two former screws will be hidden anyway.
	♥ 2:55pm vinylmonkee: Great show, thanks EFD!
	♥ 2:55pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, efd! Enjoy your time away. Sadly, I think I might be at the station next Wed. when you're gone! Later on, everyone. You're one good thing about summer!
	2:55pm HyperDose: Spanx, Evan! 💄👢
	♥ 2:56pm Jessie: Excellent show today EFD. Thanks and see you in a couple of weeks.
	2:56pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks EFD!
	2:56pm love2laf: Thank you for the great music I got to hear today efd, hope you do enjoy your birthday. Good luck with the microwave trials. Have a fun afternoon all.
	♥ 2:57pm Figgsrock: Great show EFD. Have a great vacation and birthday!
	♥ 2:58pm efd: thank you everyone! Keep an eye on those Upcoming listings, working on a couple of special shows for October that I can't announce yet but they'll be good ones!
	♥ 2:58pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Enjoy your vacation @EFD

	12:04pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Hi E Funk D and his funky bunch!
	♥ 12:04pm vinylmonkee: Oh I'm searching all right ✨
	♥ 12:05pm drr: I was busy trying to figure out the mystery first-song band and missed the song.
	♥ 12:06pm luka: hello funkers. getting lunch and hitting the road for Pet Shop Boys.
	♥ 12:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I loved that Rachel Sweet record. Especially "Tonight Ricky"...hooboy.
	♥ 12:10pm Jessie: Cast unfortunately got buried under the Brit Pop of Blur, Oasis, Kula Shaker and Charlatans. Too bad because All Change is really good.
	12:12pm nycmusicnerd: Wow. Shaun Cassidy...
	♥ 12:12pm Handy Haversack: Nice, luka! Anyone else seeing BÖC in NŸC tonight?
	♥ 12:13pm drr: Count on WFMU to play those obscure forgotten artists of previous decades.
	12:13pm Prodigal Daughter: I’m not ashamed to say that I had a Shaun Cassidy poster in my room as a kid. He was a cutie patootie!!
	12:13pm ?: i thought this was elton john!
	12:14pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and funkateers. Just found out that Grace Jones did a cover of Flash & The Pan's "Walkin' in the Rain". Thought you'd like to know ...
	12:15pm brainiac: Do you remember The 21st night of September?
	♥ 12:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Should be fun. They were the first "big" band I ever saw...at the dinky Civic Center in Augusta, Maine.
	♥ 12:15pm efd: @Carmichael Oh I am aware! wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:16pm Jessie: Shaun Cassidy's album Wasp, which Todd Rundgren produced, is basically him fronting Utopia.
	12:16pm nycmusicnerd: Prodigal Daughter: I was more of a Rick Springfield person.
	♥ 12:17pm efd: @Jessie I'm gonna pick that up one of these days...
	♥ 12:18pm drr: @Jessie: there's an interview with him on YT, talking about that; it's pretty interesting. He knew what he was getting into.
	♥ 12:18pm artbrau: I bet an album where Utopia backs Shaun Cassidy sounds different than an album where Shaun fronts Utopia.
	♥ 12:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Jessie: Dang it, now I have to listen to some Shaun Cassidy!
	12:18pm love2laf: Happy Funky Day efd and all the rest of you Funksters. Sad to have missed the start & Shaun Cassidy, I too had the poster up on my wall. Lost an hour of my day trying to update credit card info on pre auths, and completely failed on the last one. Guess I'm getting rid of satellite.
	12:20pm Will: Shaun has covered "Rebel Rebel," "The Book I Read" and "So Sad About Us." Who knew!
	♥ 12:21pm brycepunk1: EFD, it's always a pleasure. Good afternoon :)
	♥ 12:22pm Krys O.: This is not the usual Helen Shapiro sound to my ears.
	♥ 12:22pm Polyus: There is a spot I always like to hit for a cheap English breakfast right near Euston Station.
	♥ 12:22pm Krys O.: Vocal sound, I mean.
	♥ 12:23pm Krys O.: I think that is supposed to be Barbara Ruskin.
	♥ 12:24pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Damn, I loved that first Dire Straits album when it came out.
	♥ 12:24pm prof.fuzz: Hi EFD! Funkers! Wurking and Lurking again today...
	♥ 12:24pm Krys O.: It's Barbara Ruskin: i.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:25pm efd: whoops, thanks Krys! Misread the track listing on the CD!
	♥ 12:25pm karlward: If you squint you can kind of hear what a Knopfler-produced Lennon record might have sounded like
	♥ 12:25pm Figgsrock: Wait, isn't this "Setting me Up." or am I going mad?
	♥ 12:26pm Krys O.: No worries, efd. Glad to help. I'm a fan of Helen Shapiro.
	♥ 12:27pm artbrau: @handy BandsInTown is unaware of BÖC so I was unaware. But Holy Crap, they are doing Secret Treaties entire on Friday. Bucket list but ticketmaster resale is $387. Gulp.
	♥ 12:27pm Figgsrock: Whew. Glad to know I'm not going nuts EFD.
	12:28pm love2laf: Early Happy Birthday efd, home you have a great day, and wishing you all the best for your new year!
	12:30pm Prodigal Daughter: nycmusicnerd: Rick is playing in Waterloo and Port Chester next week! If you miss him then you can see him in Riviera Maya, Mexico in October.
	♥ 12:31pm Krys O.: Skateaway was a fave Dire Straits song for me back then.
	♥ 12:32pm Krys O.: When Rick Springfield still had his Aussie accent, he appeared on a Burns & Schreiber Saturday morning kids TV show.
	♥ 12:34pm karlward: ZZ Top mode engage
	♥ 12:36pm karlward: I always enjoy the "Hair Choices" segment of EFD's program
	12:36pm nycmusicnerd: Prodigal Daughter: Those are a bit too far for me to travel. I hope he plays in NYC again someday. I don't think I've seen him since 2012.
	12:36pm Androu B.: Hello and advance birthday wishes, efd! And no worries, we all have those days! And excited to know Duane & his train make a comeback next week! ¡Buenas tardes, Handy! And hello to everyone else! Hope Jack Mello brought you through the morning alright!
	♥ 12:37pm Krys O.: Here's Rick Springfield in said Burns & Schreiber show: youtu.be...
	♥ 12:37pm McGroovey: There was also a Rubinoos & Utopia EP in the early '80s. Is it called "Room Service"? I don't feel like checking. It's not horrible, but it's not a peak for either band.
	♥ 12:38pm Handy Haversack: ¡Hola, Androu B.!
	♥ 12:39pm vinylmonkee: @Krys O and here I'd almost forgotten about Avery Schreiber!
	♥ 12:39pm prof.fuzz: the judges would have also accepted "peach impediment"...
	♥ 12:40pm McGroovey: Well, I have to get back to trying to fix the microwave. I fixed the pipes under the kitchen sink yesterday. I should look for handyman work
	♥ 12:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What a day. We get EFD, news of a DuaneTrane fill-in, and a gigantic lawsuit against the orange baboon. Woo! Also, I'm having pizza later.
	♥ 12:40pm karlward: McGroovey: when you're done with that I have a busted electrical outlet in the garage
	12:40pm BAMstutz: The music is good
	♥ 12:41pm McGroovey: @karlward oh, that's probably an easy one. You could DIY.
	♥ 12:44pm Handy Haversack: Gotta work on the business plan, McGroove! karlward, send in your retainer. One of our home consultants will get back to you ASAP.
	12:44pm Carmichael: @Evan, I thought you would already know of the Jones cover, but new to me. That's an amazing tribute you did in 2017! Even a Marcus Hook tune, that's deep diving!
	♥ 12:45pm prof.fuzz: mcG is living out my favorite Foreigner song: "Jukebox Repairman (he's got pliers in his eyes!)"
	♥ 12:45pm DjLorraine: Haha
	♥ 12:46pm McGroovey: @prof.fuzz Oh, you gave me teenage flashbacks, and it's makin' nervous nervous nervous
	12:48pm Carmichael: I like the Foreigner song Virgin (Urgent). Virgin emergency ... 🎵
	♥ 12:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Good day everyone! This Ginger Root is so yachty bouncy.
	12:50pm nycmusicnerd: Carmichael: Fun fact--you can mash the chorus of "Feels Like The First Time" with the chorus of "Like A Virgin".
	♥ 12:52pm McGroovey: @Carmichael I always remember that song as "nervous nervous nervous". If I remember it, which I just did, which is giving me even more angsty flashbacks. Ugh
	12:57pm Carmichael: @nycmusicnerd, try mashing the following: Men At Work, It's a Mistake The Tubes, No Not Again 38 Special, Hold On Loosely Lots and lots of variations. I'm still in the editing process.
	1:00pm ?: I'm a Homo Sapien too!
	♥ 1:00pm Power Papi: I'm getting "Homosapien" vibes from this "animal" song
	1:00pm reese: This sounds much like Gary Numan
	1:01pm Androu B.: This song's main chord sounds like it was ripped off from "My Sharona".
	1:01pm nycmusicnerd: Carmichael: Interesting. Next time I hear one of those songs I'll have to remember that. Here's where I heard the Foreigner/Madonna mashup. It's at the end of the song: open.spotify.com...
	♥ 1:01pm efd: @reese Hold that thought...
	♥ 1:02pm Handy Haversack: Now this sounds like Gary Numan. Hello, ... NUMAN.
	♥ 1:03pm Figgsrock: Oh wow EFD, I was just thinking "this song sounds like something else."
	1:03pm ZACH ALL CAPS: MY SHARONA!!!
	1:04pm Androu B.: ..and another mashup comes into the world!
	♥ 1:05pm efd: tubeway army's LP came out before "My Sharona" I'm pretty sure
	♥ 1:05pm Jack McGuire: Gary Numan. A proud member of the John Foxx Era of Ultravox fanclub.
	1:07pm slocker: Jammin'
	1:07pm love2laf: Is the weather bad when the weather radar page says the radar is not available? Yikes, time to get under the covers. Keep losing internet, hoping the power stays on so I can have the musical happiness going. This set is on fire.
	1:07pm coldax: Animal sounded like Homo Sapien by Pete Shelly (buzzcocks solo)
	♥ 1:11pm efd: someone else mentioned "Homosapien," and honestly I didn't hear that, but maybe because I homed in on Tubeway Army right away.
	♥ 1:13pm efd: @love2laf be careful out there!
	♥ 1:19pm Handy Haversack: Between the Reds, Pinks, and Purples and Green/Blue, we've got a lot of the color wheel covered -- and they're all going for GBV levels of prolificness! McGroove, let's start a band called Yellow Oranges and release fifteen albums next month!
	1:24pm Stuart Troutman: my little coincidence was that I was pushed by 'Animal' to search for a Buzzcocks tune called 'Animal' (didn't find one)...
	♥ 1:24pm Figgsrock: This Last Dinosaurs gives me a Phoenix-ish vibe, and I mean that as a high compliment.
	♥ 1:26pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD and pals! Driving around but enjoying the show as always.
	1:28pm Nicepunk: Hi Evan… great show as always! Fast WFMU question as I’ve recently rediscovered the station since the early 80s… Are the multiple streams all live ? Thanks so much and again I enjoy your show
	♥ 1:28pm McGroovey: @Handy I'm in. I'm not joking, if you're not joking
	♥ 1:29pm van chinski: omg haven't heard this Fixx song in so long
	♥ 1:31pm efd: @Nicepunk Thanks! The alternate streams have a mix of live and non-live programming. If you go to the WFMU homepage there are links to the different streams' schedules.
	♥ 1:32pm efd: @van chinski I was hoping to get that response from somebody!
	♥ 1:32pm Figgsrock: This Fixx album (I think you mean Shuttered Room, EFD?) is one of my holy grails of never being able to find it on CD.
	♥ 1:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Heyo. Just sticking my head in during a rough work day.
	1:33pm Nicepunk: @efd thanks!
	♥ 1:33pm Handy Haversack: I know, McGroove. But lack of ability means I have to be joking. I'll kick it up the ladder to K8, though! Hey, Threemoons!
	♥ 1:34pm efd: oh yeah, I fell into the trap of thinking the first LP was self-titled. That's three strikes on today's playlist, I'm out!
	♥ 1:35pm Figgsrock: EFD--Ha! It's funny how that album is so hard to find. Not on streaming, only one CD reissue in the mid-90s. I have a sort of beat up vinyl copy I bought in Austin many years ago.
	1:36pm HyperDose: Tin Ear rules, but the album art is what really sold me: f4.bcbits.com...
	1:37pm Carmichael: @Evan, I thought that was some kind of musical federal law. 1st LP must be eponymous.
	♥ 1:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Charlotte Something is a Cure song.
	♥ 1:39pm McGroovey: @Handy well, you at least have to write lyrics.
	♥ 1:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @HH and @McGroove I think you SHOULD start your own band! I actually still own my old saxophone...
	1:40pm HyperDose: Owl and the Pussycat: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	1:40pm JetBoy now of Astoria: That IS a nice cover
	♥ 1:40pm Handy Haversack: 3Moons: Charlotte SomeTIMES.
	♥ 1:40pm The Oscar: Busy working, but I had to drop everything to look at the catship!
	♥ 1:41pm karlward: Handy have you read the Penelope Farmer book? I quite like it.
	♥ 1:41pm McGroovey: @Threemoons can you still play it? That's a stupid question. Even if you can't play it, you still should.
	♥ 1:42pm Jack McGuire: For the longest time my holy grail was the Lolita Nation cd, which it took me a few years to track down. Now I just want a download of Sault's Nine, which is the greatest. Sault removed it from streaming and download services 90 days after release, by design. Scarcity is the modern day marketing strategy.
	♥ 1:42pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: @McGroovey "A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion but doesn't" -- Tom Waits
	♥ 1:42pm karlward: Handy & McGroovey: I don't think there is enough claustrophobic sampled disco with Fall-like nonsensical shouting over the music. No talent or ability is required to fulfill this dream.
	1:44pm BH: speaking of putting up with the weather, shoutout from the midwest where the temperature is about to drop 20 degrees
	♥ 1:44pm efd: @HyperDose that's a different Owl & Pussycat from the one I was thinking of!
	1:44pm LesleyK: Hey efd and all!
	1:45pm HyperDose: Ah, must have gotten the mass market paperback edition 😄
	1:47pm herb.nyc: Hola. Los Beths were terrific at the free prospect park show this summer. They wore hoodies up and set up their own gear, yeah!
	♥ 1:48pm efd: now I wonder if I'm thinking of another book's art... I did a quick search on O&P and none of those covers are what I'm thinking of
	♥ 1:49pm drr: karlward: I had the Fall tune "Oxymoron" come up on my walking playlist, and it pretty much fits your description.
	♥ 1:52pm McGroovey: @karlward Claustrophobic sampled disco? Shoot me now.
	♥ 1:52pm karlward: McGroovey: now we have a chorus
	♥ 1:52pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd: Maybe it was a movie poster in the Combat Zone in Boston in the late 70's. Ha. (Sorry, not enthralled with work today...)
	♥ 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, LesleyK!
	1:52pm Carmichael: Also speaking of weather, it has been raining for the last 2 days. Sure beats the 116 we had a few weeks ago.
	♥ 1:53pm prof.fuzz: @3M: Perfect Pitch defined: The sound heard when an accordion lands on top of a banjo in a dumpster.
	♥ 1:53pm Various Julius: My CD holy grail used to be Miracle Legion on Rough Trade. When I found a used copy of Me and Mr. Ray in a shop my heart skipped a beat.
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: karlward (@1:41): no, I don't think I ever have! Will keep an eye our.
	♥ 1:55pm Handy Haversack: I mean an Eeyore, of course. Damn dentures.
	♥ 1:55pm McGroovey: @prof.fuzz I actually have a banjo, but I've never played it, gentleman that I am.
	1:56pm LesleyK: Hey Handy!
	♥ 1:57pm Figgsrock: @Various Julius--I love that feel of discovering something like that out in the wild (as opposed to searching Discogs).
	♥ 1:57pm prof.fuzz: @mcG: get an accordion and refuse to play it too and you'll be a Sage!
	♥ 1:57pm McGroovey: I've somehow never heard the Lightning Seeds before. I remember seeing CDs in the nineties. I assumed they sucked, but I didn't know. There was to much else to listen to and to buy to find out.
	1:57pm LesleyK: Oh I'm bummed I missed the Beths in prospect park ..didn't even know about that.
	♥ 1:58pm Jack McGuire: Both Copeland and Paddy McAloon have made endearing and enduring music featuring the banjo.
	♥ 1:58pm efd: @Figgs & Various - that exact feeling is why I almost never order records from Discogs (or eBay). So much more fun to just come across it in a bin somewhere when you least expect it.
	♥ 1:58pm McGroovey: I do have a banjo uke, and I've actually played that a lot. It's just a loud ukulele, though.
	♥ 2:00pm Figgsrock: @efd--I only order from either when I'm really stupidly desperate to get my hands on something (like when I ordered a crazy Sade extended version of "Smooth Operator" after seeing it in a video) or I need it for an upcoming gig.
	♥ 2:02pm drr: I'm the opposite, I love to order from Discogs and then forget about it so I get surprised when I pen it.
	♥ 2:02pm drr: open it.
	2:03pm Danny San: some good stuff
	2:08pm milknpie: if only that pesky drawbridge stuck open didn't exist, they could be connected
	2:08pm ?: that greenway/bike trail sounds very exciting
	♥ 2:11pm Handy Haversack: Since it's on the Fill-Ins page not the Upcoming events page, I'll just quote that our own Air Horn Supporter Coutney Noir is going to do a fill-in! The great KZUM.org DJ Courtney Noir guest hosts for Terre T Wednesday, September 28th, 6pm - 8pm on The Cherry Blossom Clinic with Terre T (on Rock'n'Soul Radio stream)
	♥ 2:11pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Hey, the hotel just opened up a few more rooms if anyone needs.
	2:12pm Androu B.: efd, OMG! That was EXACTLY the name I was also suggesting for Mona's show! Great mind's think alike! (And by "great", I mean "cleverly creative"!)
	♥ 2:13pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @McGroovey: I kind of remember the song "Pure" being a minor hit for The Lightning Seeds (late 80's??)
	2:13pm HyperDose: Gonna treat yourself to a lil rocking out, 3M?
	♥ 2:15pm Various Julius: Hey she's kind of singing in this one

	♥ 2:40pm steveo: "According to Pete Townshend’s autobiography, 'Happy Jack' is Paul McCartney’s favourite Who song."
	2:40pm Daybreak, just Daybreak: Can probably guarantee you… Key word: probably That is an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one: “probably guarantee” Oh Harry…
	♥ 2:41pm McGroovey: I have to take a break from fixing the microwave. I need a screwdriver that I don't have. It's a 6-point star with round thing in the middle so that a regular 6-point doesn't work. It's even more annoying than the 8-point star drivers I had to buy to fix my VW... more annoying because I think what I'm going to discover when I open this up is that something is wrong that's not worth fixing, and I'll have bought the special weird 6-point tool for nothing.
	♥ 2:42pm McGroovey: Oh And I never bought Fade, so I've never heard this YLT dying before. It's nice. I mean "nice" in a good way.

	2:48pm Carmichael: Look for that swiss cheese guitar, Handy!
	♥ 2:48pm _Ike_: Awesome Superchunk. Was I overthinking or was that song potentially about climate change?
	2:48pm LesleyK: Have fun tonight Handy!
	♥ 2:49pm _Ike_: BÖC is Boards öf Canada, right? LOL
