Listener comments!
	11:09pm Jessica: Of course you have the 12". [scraping bow]
	11:13pm Jessica: (The Double Dutch 12". that is.)
	11:14pm Sybil: A dutch set? A double dutch set?
	11:15pm efd: ohmigod! Sybil, I only wish I were that clever.
	11:17pm efd: of course, if we were broadcasting from the 2nd floor I would be running into the record library to pull whatever Nederbiet collections i could find. And that Waterpipes & Dykes comp. And then I'd be pretty much out of ideas.
	11:22pm Droll: Postcard from Holland, by Adrian Belew (who I've got tix to see tomorrow night, gonna bootleg it, too), and Pass that Dutch, by Missy Elliot... There's a Hum tune with Dutch spoken at the end, forget the name... That'd be a cool show to do!
	11:24pm Sybil: I was wondering how long you could keep it going :) There's also Eduardo Bennato's sort-of-rap "Ellogio all follia" based on the work of Erasmus of Rotterdam. Kind of a stretch. (Don't ask me how I know about that one)
	11:25pm efd: i could throw in a Holland-Dozier-Holland composition.
	11:55pm jackie burkhardt: heeeeey efd-- whuts shakin?? did you do anything groooovy over the weekend?? i was ROCKIN AS ALWAYS!!!! i loooove the weekends ,,dont you?? WEEKENDS ARE PARRRRRRRRTYYYYY TIME!!!! WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO
	11:59pm Jessica: Is it me, or does When Things Go Wrong's opening riff sound like Born in Xixax slooowed waay down (minus what would then be truly spooky vocals)? I bet Nina Hagen was a Robin Lane fan.
	12:47am Randy in NC: efd- continuing a conversation from a bunch of weeks ago, the other AM top 40 station in Boston in the '60's through the mid '70's was 1510 WMEX. Home of Arnie Woo Woo Ginsburg. www.bostonradio.org
	12:52am efd: oh, of course! i can't believe i couldn't think of that. thanks for letting me know... we were mostly a WRKO and WBZ household.
	1:01am Randy in NC: Same here.
	1:03am Ike: Hearing "Use Me" reminded me of Honeycut, a group that made an overlooked album a couple of years ago. Maybe Withers influenced them.
	1:17am Ike: Ooops, I meant to say "GREAT overlooked album." Also: Hey, it's Bryce! He can even make button-pushing exciting.
	1:19am Doctor B: "This is a test. For the next 60 seconds, we will be testing our largest thermonuclear device on your home town. This is only a test!" Seriously, those EAS tests are a royal pain, are they not?
	1:39am Pete: EFD: Sons & Daughters are supposed to play in Brooklyn @ Music Hall Of Williamsburg on 3/21 and in NYC @ Bowery on 3/22. Can't wait to see them here in Chicago on 3/28
	1:43am Joe B.: The Fallen Leaves - an early contender for album of the year!

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