	♥ 9:03pm Stevel: Shabby Tiger! Favorite band name of the week!
	♥ 9:04pm efd: dammit, this record didn't skip at all when I played it earlier
	9:05pm JakeGould: @EFD: It was saving the skip for it’s very special moment on air.
	♥ 9:07pm efd: stupid record.
	♥ 9:07pm efd: And @Stevel, that's pretty much what I thought when I came across the Shabby Tiger record in the bins.
	9:08pm Alex von Chicago: Song must be about David Cameron.
	9:10pm JakeGould: @EFD: One of the first LPs I ever bought as a kid was the soundtrack to “The Empire Strikes Back” and—despite the fact I no longer own it—I still know exactly what cue and theme has that skip.
	9:12pm JakeGould: I don’t know about the backing vocals in “Mainstreet U.S.A.”
	9:14pm Loretta: hi all.....I've been on vacation ~ missed you guys!
	♥ 9:17pm Barkevious Shabazz: Lori and the Chameleons!
	♥ 9:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Loretta ! efdenizens...
	9:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Evan!
	♥ 9:22pm efd: Welcome back Loretta, and welcome Bronwyn, RRN63, Alex, Barkevious, and all lurkers! Happy to have you all here!
	♥ 9:22pm efd: Barkevious, I don't think Lori & The Chameleons was one of the records I pulled out to bring tonight, sorry to say. But I'll get to it!
	9:23pm JakeGould: And I am happy to be here too. Sorry for my production snits at the beginning. Great show!
	♥ 9:24pm efd: I was in a snit myself over that skipping, so no worries!
	9:24pm JakeGould: If Barkevious Shabazz is actually a cute bull terrier, all the better!
	♥ 9:24pm Stevel: Skipping snits. Also a great band name.
	♥ 9:29pm efd: they could be on a bill with the Sniveling Shits.
	♥ 9:29pm Stevel: NOW you're onto something!
	9:31pm JakeGould: As well as “Power Nap.”
	9:32pm Bronwyn Bishop: I love London and Amsterdam! I miss them :(
	9:34pm Chris M.: my life's goal is to one day borrow $15 from EFD
	9:38pm Loretta: hi RR63!! ~ haven't seen you here in a while.. & Bark...hi there to you too! that's a cool name for a group ~ Lori & the Chameleons. or maybe it would be nice to will hear some Teenage Lust & the Lustettes!?!
	9:40pm sugarwolf: I think you bought more records in one trip to London than I did living there for a year! Wow!
	9:43pm JakeGould: @Chris M.: “my life's goal is to one day borrow $15 from EFD” If you say that in a hospital gown with an IV drip and sitting in a wheelchair, maybe that would work.
	9:46pm Erella: I love this song. Wow. Someone should send it to an artist like Sam Smith. So great. Thank you.
	♥ 9:46pm efd: @sugarwolf It's a bit of a sickness, I've come to discover.
	♥ 9:46pm Barkevious Shabazz: And a Sheet Music. Quite the haul!
	9:47pm herb.nyc: So sweet, RIP Ken Lewis
	9:51pm Scott: Hey what's the background music between sets? Always love it. Want it!
	♥ 9:51pm efd: @herb and @Erella, glad you liked it. Honestly I feel honored to be able to play it.
	9:54pm Erella: It is beautiful. Do let him know. Sorry Ken Lewis is dead.
	♥ 9:54pm efd: @Scott, it's a loop from "Saturday Night" by The Lordz Of Brooklyn, which itself samples "American Woman" by the Guess Who.
	9:56pm JakeGould: @Scott: Here you go… www.youtube.com...
	9:58pm MR: Tubular!
	♥ 9:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '65 - when no one knew Hendrix was alive (yet)...
	10:02pm Scott: Sweet. Thanks Jake!
	♥ 10:02pm jmd: @EFD, why did you play the Harpo song. I didn't like it, but I have no doubt it will be stuck in my head.
	10:03pm Scott: And thanks for background Evan. Love the Guess Who .
	♥ 10:04pm Barkevious Shabazz: And Manicured Noise!
	♥ 10:04pm efd: @jmd That's why I played it!
	♥ 10:05pm jmd: Damn you to hell...thanks. DAMN YOU!
	♥ 10:08pm Jeff from Rahway: Jeezus, EFD, did you see the VIDEO for that dj kat song? youtu.be...
	♥ 10:09pm efd: uh-oh... no I have not, Jeff! I'll have to check it out later.
	10:09pm Bronwyn Bishop: Was nice to hear Oldfield covering ABBA earlier
	10:14pm steve: haha the dj kat cover!
	10:15pm steve: ohh my god the video (muted of course)
	10:15pm steve: hahahaha
	10:16pm JakeGould: The whole Discogs page for DJ Kat is the literal definition of “Amazeballs”: www.discogs.com...
	10:20pm JakeGould: Jesus christ! That DJ Kat video is giving me very specific NYC music video flashbacks. Damn!
	10:20pm steve: what would i do without wfmu
	10:25pm JakeGould: @steve: There’s a big cartoon bubble over your head right now showing you in a nice, clean organized studio saying, “Wow! I finally got that done!”
	10:27pm JakeGould: Ahhh! The Hemingers!!!
	♥ 10:29pm Stevel: The Hemingers hale from just north of these parts.
	10:31pm Bronwyn Bishop: This is one of the only good songs that ever comes up in my preprogrammed sets on my school's radio station.
	♥ 10:50pm exiledinbk: I thought this song is called neighborhood watch
	♥ 10:54pm efd: oh I think you're right! I didn't notice that the track list starts on the left side of the CD cover as opposed to the top of the CD cover. Thanks for the correction!
	♥ 10:58pm efd: Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment to let you know that it's "crunch time" here at WFMU - the time when we need a little extra help in the money department, but we don't interrupt our shows on the air like we do during the yearly fundraising marathon. If you can, please take a moment to make a pledge to my show via that white box at the top left of your browser, or by just clicking on this link: www.wfmu.org... We'll make it worth your while with cool new t-shirts and other swag. Plus great radio, of course. Thanks!
	11:23pm Erella: Good reminder! Thank you.
	11:26pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi Funk Fans :)
	11:27pm Danne D: Happy Hockey Season Everyone :) (but still go Blue Jays!)
	11:27pm JakeGould: What’s a hockey?
	♥ 11:27pm efd: uh oh.
	♥ 11:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Don Rickles would know about hockey stuff. Ya hockey puck!
	11:30pm JakeGould: Hey, the Islanders are now in Brooklyn… I might actually go to a game then.
	11:36pm Danne D: :( Islanders are in the wrong place
	♥ 11:36pm Jeff from Rahway: For us hockey fans, the long, hot summer is almost at an end. Bring on the ice.
	11:36pm Danne D: I will watching my Devils subtracting 30 years mentally as our record will be like the 1985 Devils
	♥ 11:38pm Jeff from Rahway: @Danne D does that mean Z-100 will do another parody song about how shitty the Devils are?
	11:41pm Danne D: @Jeff :( I remember that song
	11:41pm Danne D: but that was for the '83-84 Devils
	♥ 11:43pm Jeff from Rahway: @Danne D ah yes, another shitty product of Billy McMillan and Max McNab.
	11:44pm Danne D: @Jeff the club was essentially expansion-level bu that predated them. Early groundwork being laid with the drafting of guys like Daneyko, MacLean, and Driver
	11:45pm Danne D: The Devils have a wealth of good young defensemen now. They'll be good again before you know it. But this year - I think we probably get around 70 points. Hopefully I'm wrong and they get 25 more than that.
	♥ 11:50pm Jeff from Rahway: @Danne D, watching the team last year was like watching a bunch of old men skate through molasses. They got younger, I hope they can skate faster and oh...trade Travis Zajac please.
	11:52pm Danne D: Zajac can only get traded to a team trying to make the salary floor. And I don't believe the rumors about Toronto from that hack Chere. Let's see how he does with a new system though. He'll lets see how they all do (though I'd be surprised if they have a single + player this year). Cory will be busy.
	11:53pm Danne D: Pulling for the Leafs as team #2 - excited to see what Lou will do there.
	♥ 11:57pm Jeff from Rahway: I wanna see how Lou is gonna handle the Toronto media.
	♥ 11:58pm Jeff from Rahway: Oh and BTW, this Ultimate Painting song is excellent...they put on a fantastic show @ Rough Trade last month. Almost forgot about the music.
	11:58pm Danne D: @Jeff he'll handle 'em fine :) Anyway thanks for the usual greatness EFD :) And have a good night everyone :) Go Devils!!! Go Blue Jays!!!
	11:39am Paul Johnston: Catching up with the show in Dunfermline, Scotland. Wonderful tribute to Ken Lewis from John. Great to other other Carter-Lewis tracks too.
