	12:08pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and rockers.
	♥ 12:08pm prof.fuzz: both were so damn good too
	12:09pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Saw them at the Intermedia Center back then
	12:09pm Stanley Crook.: Golden Brown? No
	12:09pm Gaston Musella: Saw the Stranglers ages ago in the Village. Halfway through a blistering show, the lead singer announces "Ha ha, Johnny Carson just shot himself" Anyone else remember that show?
	12:10pm KingOfJunk: Killer Spng
	♥ 12:11pm medson: Wow. Wasn’t aware he was 84. So around 39-40 when first albums came out.

	12:13pm KingOfJunk: AMAZING BAND
	♥ 12:13pm efd: 7" that plays at 33 ftw!

	♥ 12:14pm efd: @medson I know, he was almost my Mom's age!
	12:14pm JetBoy of Astoria: Did Johnny Carson live?
	12:14pm rich the greeb: Ahoy Funkers!! Hot dang I love the stranglers!
	♥ 12:14pm efd: hm, didn't remember that this 7" was so scratchy, sorry about that!
	12:15pm rich the greeb: It’s like if the doors and music machine were created by Monty Python
	♥ 12:16pm efd: gotta break out the SpinClean for this record!
	12:16pm Colin in Durham England: I saw Hugh Cornwell in Durham recently and his whole set blew me away, I think he was on before The Wedding Present and Sleeper but he should have definitely been headlining
	♥ 12:17pm tim from washington: Hi efd and everyone! My favorite Stranglers song!
	♥ 12:17pm Franco Twinkie: Scratchy makes no nevermind when you're trying to dance the pain away.
	♥ 12:17pm efd: this set is also a sad reminder of how great Dave Greenfield was
	♥ 12:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and company. Stranglers forever!
	12:19pm rich the greeb: Can someone release a domestic 2fer of the first 2 stranglers albums on vinyl? Thanks.

	♥ 12:19pm Crosby in KC: Hello, EFD and all. Thanks for the Stranglers set. RIP Jet Black
	♥ 12:20pm efd: I can already see I'm going to run out of time before I can play everything I wanted
	♥ 12:21pm tim from washington: @Colin - I totally agree. The Wedding Present are an excellent band but if Hugh Cornwall is on the bill then they should be the support act.
	12:21pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Still love the 3D cover of this album
	♥ 12:21pm Franco Twinkie: Evan, if you play Life Has No Mercy, I'll consider it a perfect day.
	12:21pm nycmusicnerd: Scratchy is fine. It's nostalgic. Those young kids today don't know the glory of scratchy. Now get off my lawn.
	12:21pm Too Obtuse: Jet + JJ = stellar rhythm section
	12:22pm luca: such a tight act...love them to bits
	♥ 12:22pm efd: @Danny I was just showing that to Dennis! One of my prized possessions.
	♥ 12:22pm tim from washington: @fuzz - exactly. I read an interview with David Wm Sims who said he got his bass sound from JJB. Many dots were connected for me after that.
	12:23pm rich the greeb: @tim that just connected dots for me
	♥ 12:23pm Yes: Greetings
	♥ 12:25pm tim from washington: rich - Yup, that’s the bass sound of every band on Am Rep, Touch and Go etc in the 90s.
	12:26pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Nice efd!!!!
	12:26pm rich the greeb: I just got a pang rendering I sold my copy of the scratch acid ep 🤦‍♂️
	♥ 12:26pm prof.fuzz: the gospel was such a curveball for me, but i loved this album
	12:26pm LesleyK: Hi efd and all!
	♥ 12:28pm tim from washington: 2 drummers on the air for a drummer tribute! Drums!Drums! Drums!
	♥ 12:29pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Loving this set! Thanks for the tribute, efd.
	12:29pm nycmusicnerd: A little boy says to his mom, "When I grow up I want to be a drummer. Mom says, "I'm sorry son, you can't do both."
	12:30pm nycmusicnerd: How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb? 7. One to do it, and the other 6 to argue about how Neil Peart could have done it better.
	12:31pm clarke: hey all!! EFD dyno-mite!!
	♥ 12:31pm prof.fuzz: clarkEEEE!!!!
	12:31pm clarke: not a good time for drummers! RIP Jet

	12:34pm slowbear: ice cream truck... easy way to make some extra money on tour.
	12:35pm Benjamin Kracauer: We learned when we worked on Monty Hall that Jersey City is officially called "City of Jersey City" in City documents
	12:35pm Wil9S: The Stranglers shaped me. Fly with your friend the Raven, Jet Black. Thanks EFD.
	♥ 12:36pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Ooo, I still have that lenticular cover as well! As I recall, it was expensive at the time.
	12:36pm slowbear: evan plug the WFMU mastodon!

	♥ 12:39pm Karl Ward: Krys O beat me to it
	♥ 12:39pm Krys O.: Wallace's is in Orange, Joe B. I thought of The Dirt Club, but nah. That's also Orange.
	12:39pm clarke: JoeB, you around for a bit?

	♥ 12:44pm efd: @KWilde It was still WTBS back then!
	12:44pm Frank Zaatar: This is great! I thought the interview was going to be one of those break-ins with clps fom hit songs. ;)
	♥ 12:44pm tim from washington: Handy - I’ve been inconsistently listening to the prog show. Has Marillion shown up yet?
	♥ 12:44pm Krys O.: Thanks, Joe B. I always think of The Dirt on the border with Orange.
	♥ 12:44pm medson: The Smithereens Green Thoughts was the first CD I ever purchased. Records and tapes until that point
	♥ 12:44pm tim from washington: I bet the MIT radio station had excellent engineers.
	12:45pm clarke: one would think that, but no, tim - just as lousy as other stations
	12:45pm ModnikBri: Love the Smithereens! One of the first “College rock” bands I got into!

	♥ 12:46pm Handy Haversack: Not yet, Tim! I might see Dave this weekend -- I'll see what he has to say!
	♥ 12:47pm tim from washington: Thanks for asking, clarke. I think it went ok. HR is contacting my references so that’s a good sign. I had another interview this morning for a different position at the same place.
	12:47pm clarke: best of luck, there!! (if you want/need it!)
	12:48pm clarke: these songs are already household CLASSICS around here!!
	12:48pm Joe B: WMBR is an amazing station!
	12:49pm clarke: i think it has gone way downhill recently, Joe
	12:49pm Joe B: disagree 100% on mbr. lot of amazing shows
	12:49pm clarke: which is why i am HERE more often, ha ha.
	♥ 12:49pm tim from washington: Thanks, clarke! I’ll take it.
	12:50pm Frank Zaatar: Hey, DD &co! are we going to see an LP of this?
	12:51pm Joe B: Tollie! reactivated!
	12:51pm clarke: well, there are still some vet dj's hanging in there (like Jon Bernhardt) but the new dj's are playing not-good modern stuff. maybe you like that - i don't.
	12:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Alan Betrock!
	12:52pm HyperDose: And after all these years Dennis is still a total hunk!
	12:53pm clarke: that's GREAT there's even more CLASSICS to come.
	12:53pm slocker: Man, is there anyone more PRO than Dennis?
	12:54pm slocker: What a gem.
	12:56pm ModnikBri: I didn’t know for the longest time that Denny was in the smithereens, nor did I know that our Ira was the Ira of Ylt
	♥ 12:58pm DanFA: Newbury Comics now sells cassettes.
	12:59pm ModnikBri: Awesome Dan! I feel like me and my friend group are kind of to blame for the cassette come back!
	1:00pm Joe B: "sick of seattle" had some venom
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: Hell yeah
	1:01pm clarke: howdy!
	♥ 1:01pm Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: Dennis, I saw the Smithereens play Wallace's, a dive bar in the Oranges, back b4 you hit it big!
	1:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Black Sabbath...Deep Purple...you are bringing me back to the days when I recorded "California Jam" on a cassette off the TV set.
	♥ 1:03pm Figgsrock: My daily meeting went forever, so I'm glad I get to hear some of this chat!
	♥ 1:03pm Hoboken Jack: Enjoying this so much, thank you EFD and Dennis!!
	♥ 1:03pm tim from washington: That’s some stomp on those drums!
	♥ 1:04pm tim from washington: I think I need to hear Sick of Seattle - haha.
	1:04pm ModnikBri: Wish I could tape off my tv onto cassette Todd!
	♥ 1:04pm DanFA: @ModnikBri, no blame.
	♥ 1:06pm Hoboken Jack: Bri, I was answering phones one night during the fundraiser and realized that sitting next to me was the bass player from Pavement. WFMU is insane like that.
	1:07pm clarke: ibold
	1:07pm clarke: good dude!
	♥ 1:07pm Polyus: My dumb Smithereens story. . .Saw the Green Thoughts tour at some warehouse dance club in Orlando, standing up front between Pat and Jimmy and on the chorus to House We Used To Live In, Jimmy clearly sang "place where I left my FART" and looked over at Pat with a smirk on his face. Of course nobody else in the band acknowledged his wit so he just shrugged and kept playing.
	♥ 1:08pm Patrick S.: These tracks are straight bangers.
	♥ 1:08pm tim from washington: @ModnikBri- hold your portable tape player up to the TV speaker. My friend and I recorder Eddie Murphy’s Delirious that way. The only problem I is that our laughter was louder than the TV sometimes.
	♥ 1:10pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I saw the Smithereens in 1988 at my college. I was 800 miles from home in a cultural wasteland and I was able to enjoy a bit of Garden State pride among all of the hayseeds.
	1:10pm love2laf: @tim from washington did the exact same thing with Delirious, totally forgot about it until you brought it up. Thanks for the memory jog!
	1:11pm Tim from LH: This is my favorite so far from the album.
	1:11pm ModnikBri: I hear the “Western Union” by Five Americans influence on this one!
	1:12pm ModnikBri: Woah Hoboken Jack!
	1:12pm Joe B: @ModnikBri - good call!
	♥ 1:12pm tim from washington: love2laf - that was our daily soundtrack for our walk to school for months!
	1:13pm ModnikBri: My portable tape player doesn’t have a recorder 😭😭
	♥ 1:14pm Handy Haversack: I was at a WFMU event a couple of years ago when I suddenly realized I was chatting with Hoboken Jack! I had my entire sensorium bronzed.
	1:14pm ModnikBri: The Hoboken Jack!
	1:14pm nycmusicnerd: Mod: You could probably do it with a voice recorder. But those create digital files that you'd upload to your computer. It would take some sorcery to translate it to cassette.
	1:15pm ModnikBri: True
	1:16pm Tim from LH: WesternUnion still exists, I just sent money to Colombia.
	♥ 1:18pm Hoboken Jack: I was at a Shakin' Street remote broadcast when I realized I was playing fetch with the Bagpipe!
	1:18pm clarke: dang - huuge!
	1:18pm ModnikBri: Lol
	♥ 1:19pm tim from washington: I have a question for Dennis: Do you first and foremost consider yourself; a musician or music fan?
	1:21pm clarke: tim - u got snow on the ground?
	♥ 1:22pm Figgsrock: Not sure if you'll see this EFD, but are they planning to do any new songs with Marshall and Robin?
	♥ 1:22pm tim from washington: Nope. Pretty mild right now.
	♥ 1:23pm Handy Haversack: Sounded on my stream like efd had to hit the dump button in the middle of Tim's name. Tim from Fucking Washington!
	1:24pm Frank Zaatar: efd: Can you ask if there are plans for an LP of the Lost Album?
	♥ 1:27pm Figgsrock: Thanks EFD! That's so good to hear.
	♥ 1:27pm tim from washington: Thanks for asking my question! My favorite interviews are with musicians who are obviously huge music fans. I love listening to music fans talk about music.
	1:27pm clarke: mystery SOLVED!!!
	1:28pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks! The Smithereens were made for vinyl.
	1:29pm clarke: great stuff!! and best to the 'Reens!! long live the music!
	♥ 1:29pm Handy Haversack: Sony Hall is where I saw Blue Öyster Cult. Very strange set-up -- like dinner theater.
	♥ 1:30pm Hoboken Jack: Oooh can't wait to hear more about the cruise!
	1:30pm ModnikBri: I want to go on an oldies cruise!
	♥ 1:30pm prof.fuzz: @handy: All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet and blue oyster cult
	♥ 1:31pm Frank In Queens: Jonny!
	1:31pm clarke: i think that Underground Garage has a really great line-up for a med cruise this coming summer.

	♥ 1:34pm Handy Haversack: It's also a floating bookmobile, Tim!
	♥ 1:35pm prof.fuzz: handy, we're down!
	1:35pm ModnikBri: Awesome Handy!
	♥ 1:36pm efd: now it's cracking me up that that's a pitched-up Pat on this song
	♥ 1:37pm tim from washington: It should sail from Luddindton to Sault Ste Marie, Handy!
	♥ 1:37pm Handy Haversack: I'll save you one of our Platinum Club trough-bib-bookmark combo sets, ModnikBri!
	♥ 1:37pm Handy Haversack: PURE MICHIGAN
	1:38pm ModnikBri: Cool Handy!
	1:39pm clarke: it's not just a floating bookmobile - they sell ice cream!!
	♥ 1:40pm Figgsrock: That Inspector Clouseau comment almost made me choke on my iced tea.
	1:40pm clarke: an amphibious culinary book vehicle!!
	♥ 1:43pm tim from washington: If efd is Inspector Clouseau, then who is Cato?
	♥ 1:43pm efd: @Figgsrock thank you for being in my target audience

	♥ 10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "chats with efd" by "dennis diken" Fascinating about the Stranglers influence on TheSmithereens ! Makes total sense. ...When musing about PowerPop & its market fortunes - I have sometimes postulated if it's about the magical amalgamation TheBeatles had of youthful BabyBoom optimism & energy on one hand ...& Working Class Blues on the other hand ...then many PowerPop act don't get this rather rare & difficult balance exactly right ...& to be perfectly candid, have said TheSmithereens are an example of tilting a little too much towards the downbeat tone & themes ...none of which ever stopped me from trying to accumulate everything they'd ever released ! & one regards TheSmithereens as one of the truly classic dedicated U.S. Rawk'n'Roll Bands - like, I dunno, TheFlamin'Groovies... I did already know there was actually a Sabbath influence :) ... Everything I hear off this 'Lost Album' sounds like the best of what they do - can't believe it could've been sidelined for any reason for this long !

	12:09pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Saw them at the Intermedia Center back then
	12:09pm Stanley Crook.: Golden Brown? No
	12:09pm Gaston Musella: Saw the Stranglers ages ago in the Village. Halfway through a blistering show, the lead singer announces "Ha ha, Johnny Carson just shot himself" Anyone else remember that show?

	12:14pm rich the greeb: Ahoy Funkers!! Hot dang I love the stranglers!
	♥ 12:14pm efd: hm, didn't remember that this 7" was so scratchy, sorry about that!
	12:15pm rich the greeb: It’s like if the doors and music machine were created by Monty Python
	♥ 12:16pm efd: gotta break out the SpinClean for this record!
	12:16pm Colin in Durham England: I saw Hugh Cornwell in Durham recently and his whole set blew me away, I think he was on before The Wedding Present and Sleeper but he should have definitely been headlining

	♥ 12:21pm Franco Twinkie: Evan, if you play Life Has No Mercy, I'll consider it a perfect day.

	12:21pm Too Obtuse: Jet + JJ = stellar rhythm section
	12:22pm luca: such a tight act...love them to bits
	♥ 12:22pm efd: @Danny I was just showing that to Dennis! One of my prized possessions.
	♥ 12:22pm tim from washington: @fuzz - exactly. I read an interview with David Wm Sims who said he got his bass sound from JJB. Many dots were connected for me after that.
	12:23pm rich the greeb: @tim that just connected dots for me
	♥ 12:23pm Yes: Greetings
	♥ 12:25pm tim from washington: rich - Yup, that’s the bass sound of every band on Am Rep, Touch and Go etc in the 90s.

	12:30pm nycmusicnerd: How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb? 7. One to do it, and the other 6 to argue about how Neil Peart could have done it better.
	12:31pm clarke: hey all!! EFD dyno-mite!!
	♥ 12:31pm prof.fuzz: clarkEEEE!!!!

	12:44pm Frank Zaatar: This is great! I thought the interview was going to be one of those break-ins with clps fom hit songs. ;)
	♥ 12:44pm tim from washington: Handy - I’ve been inconsistently listening to the prog show. Has Marillion shown up yet?
	♥ 12:44pm Krys O.: Thanks, Joe B. I always think of The Dirt on the border with Orange.
	♥ 12:44pm medson: The Smithereens Green Thoughts was the first CD I ever purchased. Records and tapes until that point

	12:47pm clarke: best of luck, there!! (if you want/need it!)
	12:48pm clarke: these songs are already household CLASSICS around here!!
	12:48pm Joe B: WMBR is an amazing station!
	12:49pm clarke: i think it has gone way downhill recently, Joe
	12:49pm Joe B: disagree 100% on mbr. lot of amazing shows
	12:49pm clarke: which is why i am HERE more often, ha ha.
	♥ 12:49pm tim from washington: Thanks, clarke! I’ll take it.
	12:50pm Frank Zaatar: Hey, DD &co! are we going to see an LP of this?
	12:51pm Joe B: Tollie! reactivated!
	12:51pm clarke: well, there are still some vet dj's hanging in there (like Jon Bernhardt) but the new dj's are playing not-good modern stuff. maybe you like that - i don't.
	12:52pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Alan Betrock!
	12:52pm HyperDose: And after all these years Dennis is still a total hunk!
	12:53pm clarke: that's GREAT there's even more CLASSICS to come.
	12:53pm slocker: Man, is there anyone more PRO than Dennis?
	12:54pm slocker: What a gem.
	12:56pm ModnikBri: I didn’t know for the longest time that Denny was in the smithereens, nor did I know that our Ira was the Ira of Ylt
	♥ 12:58pm DanFA: Newbury Comics now sells cassettes.
	12:59pm ModnikBri: Awesome Dan! I feel like me and my friend group are kind of to blame for the cassette come back!
	1:00pm Joe B: "sick of seattle" had some venom
	♥ 1:00pm Frank In Queens: Hell yeah
	1:01pm clarke: howdy!
	♥ 1:01pm Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: Dennis, I saw the Smithereens play Wallace's, a dive bar in the Oranges, back b4 you hit it big!
	1:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Black Sabbath...Deep Purple...you are bringing me back to the days when I recorded "California Jam" on a cassette off the TV set.
	♥ 1:03pm Figgsrock: My daily meeting went forever, so I'm glad I get to hear some of this chat!
	♥ 1:03pm Hoboken Jack: Enjoying this so much, thank you EFD and Dennis!!
	♥ 1:03pm tim from washington: That’s some stomp on those drums!
	♥ 1:04pm tim from washington: I think I need to hear Sick of Seattle - haha.
	1:04pm ModnikBri: Wish I could tape off my tv onto cassette Todd!
	♥ 1:04pm DanFA: @ModnikBri, no blame.
	♥ 1:06pm Hoboken Jack: Bri, I was answering phones one night during the fundraiser and realized that sitting next to me was the bass player from Pavement. WFMU is insane like that.
	1:07pm clarke: ibold
	1:07pm clarke: good dude!
	♥ 1:07pm Polyus: My dumb Smithereens story. . .Saw the Green Thoughts tour at some warehouse dance club in Orlando, standing up front between Pat and Jimmy and on the chorus to House We Used To Live In, Jimmy clearly sang "place where I left my FART" and looked over at Pat with a smirk on his face. Of course nobody else in the band acknowledged his wit so he just shrugged and kept playing.
	♥ 1:08pm Patrick S.: These tracks are straight bangers.
	♥ 1:08pm tim from washington: @ModnikBri- hold your portable tape player up to the TV speaker. My friend and I recorder Eddie Murphy’s Delirious that way. The only problem I is that our laughter was louder than the TV sometimes.
	♥ 1:10pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I saw the Smithereens in 1988 at my college. I was 800 miles from home in a cultural wasteland and I was able to enjoy a bit of Garden State pride among all of the hayseeds.
	1:10pm love2laf: @tim from washington did the exact same thing with Delirious, totally forgot about it until you brought it up. Thanks for the memory jog!
	1:11pm Tim from LH: This is my favorite so far from the album.
	1:11pm ModnikBri: I hear the “Western Union” by Five Americans influence on this one!
	1:12pm ModnikBri: Woah Hoboken Jack!
	1:12pm Joe B: @ModnikBri - good call!
	♥ 1:12pm tim from washington: love2laf - that was our daily soundtrack for our walk to school for months!
	1:13pm ModnikBri: My portable tape player doesn’t have a recorder 😭😭
	♥ 1:14pm Handy Haversack: I was at a WFMU event a couple of years ago when I suddenly realized I was chatting with Hoboken Jack! I had my entire sensorium bronzed.
	1:14pm ModnikBri: The Hoboken Jack!
	1:14pm nycmusicnerd: Mod: You could probably do it with a voice recorder. But those create digital files that you'd upload to your computer. It would take some sorcery to translate it to cassette.
	1:15pm ModnikBri: True
	1:16pm Tim from LH: WesternUnion still exists, I just sent money to Colombia.
	♥ 1:18pm Hoboken Jack: I was at a Shakin' Street remote broadcast when I realized I was playing fetch with the Bagpipe!
	1:18pm clarke: dang - huuge!
	1:18pm ModnikBri: Lol
	♥ 1:19pm tim from washington: I have a question for Dennis: Do you first and foremost consider yourself; a musician or music fan?
	1:21pm clarke: tim - u got snow on the ground?
	♥ 1:22pm Figgsrock: Not sure if you'll see this EFD, but are they planning to do any new songs with Marshall and Robin?
	♥ 1:22pm tim from washington: Nope. Pretty mild right now.
	♥ 1:23pm Handy Haversack: Sounded on my stream like efd had to hit the dump button in the middle of Tim's name. Tim from Fucking Washington!
	1:24pm Frank Zaatar: efd: Can you ask if there are plans for an LP of the Lost Album?
	♥ 1:27pm Figgsrock: Thanks EFD! That's so good to hear.
	♥ 1:27pm tim from washington: Thanks for asking my question! My favorite interviews are with musicians who are obviously huge music fans. I love listening to music fans talk about music.
	1:27pm clarke: mystery SOLVED!!!
	1:28pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks! The Smithereens were made for vinyl.
	1:29pm clarke: great stuff!! and best to the 'Reens!! long live the music!
	♥ 1:29pm Handy Haversack: Sony Hall is where I saw Blue Öyster Cult. Very strange set-up -- like dinner theater.
	♥ 1:30pm Hoboken Jack: Oooh can't wait to hear more about the cruise!
	1:30pm ModnikBri: I want to go on an oldies cruise!
	♥ 1:30pm prof.fuzz: @handy: All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet and blue oyster cult
	♥ 1:31pm Frank In Queens: Jonny!
	1:31pm clarke: i think that Underground Garage has a really great line-up for a med cruise this coming summer.

	♥ 10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "chats with efd" by "dennis diken" Fascinating about the Stranglers influence on TheSmithereens ! Makes total sense. ...When musing about PowerPop & its market fortunes - I have sometimes postulated if it's about the magical amalgamation TheBeatles had of youthful BabyBoom optimism & energy on one hand ...& Working Class Blues on the other hand ...then many PowerPop act don't get this rather rare & difficult balance exactly right ...& to be perfectly candid, have said TheSmithereens are an example of tilting a little too much towards the downbeat tone & themes ...none of which ever stopped me from trying to accumulate everything they'd ever released ! & one regards TheSmithereens as one of the truly classic dedicated U.S. Rawk'n'Roll Bands - like, I dunno, TheFlamin'Groovies... I did already know there was actually a Sabbath influence :) ... Everything I hear off this 'Lost Album' sounds like the best of what they do - can't believe it could've been sidelined for any reason for this long !
