	♥ 10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☆Glam☆Stomp☆ !
	10:30pm A.T.F.: The fat elvis marc meets the mumbling ozzy....great tune..
	10:31pm Deb Klein: Love to John and the guys! Sounds amazing. Having known John since 1986 and so many nights of rock n roll in various bands and also sharing a stage with him, SOOO great to hear it's still alive!! Nice!!!
	10:34pm randy in NC: Been a while since I've commented here. Re. Roxy Music at the Academy of Music, if that was the one that Television opened for, I was there too...
	10:36pm Greg: I was in two bands w/ John from STAG in high school back in Cincinnati (HC-ish bands both, zine community and all that) -- very glad he's still rocking!
	♥ 10:38pm tuner fish: great set! love the stag and petrol
	♥ 10:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: fb: www.facebook.com...
	10:49pm Figgsrock: Oh man, I would love to take them up on their offer. Tell them I've liked them on FB and I'll definitely send them a message in the summer.
	♥ 10:55pm Hoboken Jack: I love that his voice is distinctive but has just enough of that Feargal warble to tie it all together.
	10:58pm Stevel: As previously noted, that is a tremendous voice.
	♥ 10:59pm efd: yep, I know what you mean Jack.
	11:00pm Carmichael: I was washing dishes and couldn't post, but late hello from a Wexford lad. I still play Petrol's "Mine" in my rotation.
	11:01pm Figgsrock: So nice you played it twice?
	♥ 11:01pm efd: Indeed.
	♥ 11:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not just Wh♂, but Entwistle brass...& CheapTrick & ReddKross even...& stuff. I be tellin' a friend or two aboot Stag...
	♥ 11:03pm Hoboken Jack: Bedazzler x 2!!!!!!!!!
	11:04pm Santos L Halper: Dazzler- worst. X-man. ever. Or greatest. These guys, on the other hand +++
	11:10pm Keenan: Oh hey, I interviewed Plates of Cake last summer on The New Afternoon Show back on WNYU. Good Show so far.
	♥ 11:11pm efd: Hey Keenan! Love it - thanks for listening!
	11:19pm PJ: Huh, a good track from Never Let Me Down. Maybe I was misled 3o years ago by Day In, Day Out. (Late 80s production doesn't really help it.)
	♥ 11:22pm chris_in_space: What up ma funksts'. joinin late tonight.
	♥ 11:27pm efd: happy to have you, chris! PJ, I've found there are good songs buried on many of the Bowie albums I overlooked at the time...
	11:37pm PJ: I picked up a box set of Bowie CDs from the 90s and early 00s, each with an extra disc of bonus tracks, at a stoop sale sometime in the mid-00s, listened to them all a couple of times and couldn't find anything that really spoke to me. I went back after his death and listened to them again, and did find at least a couple of good songs on each set, but the overall impression was still not that impressive. But Lazarus was really good, I'm glad he went out on a high note, as it were. (I think it helped that it was only 7 songs, instead of, say, 19.)
	♥ 11:38pm coelacanth: PJ, by 1984 i'd lost all interest in Bowie. i read an interview with him c.2008 which restored respect for him but still bored by the music, which was what i heard on the rare occasion i heard commercial radio. then on his birthday last year Daniel Blumin played "lazarus" and i thought, "hmm maybe i shouldn't have ignored Bowie all this time."
	♥ 11:41pm coelacanth: there are about 5 albums between '84 and '16 that i've gotten into since then. (not including lazarus, which is perfectly Stellar)
	♥ 11:43pm chris_in_space: By the second chord I decided that this Proper Ornaments track was ok with me.
	11:44pm herb.nyc: re music in the morning on wfmu, Nachum had some on his show. His opening song actually is cool, kinda anthemic. I mighta recorded it on my phone.
	♥ 11:55pm efd: good point, herb.
	11:56pm Scraps: Pearl Harbor & the Explosions! Ah, reminiscing.... Drivin' was an awesome song, it still makes me happy.
	11:57pm Scraps: Drivn'! (Drivin'!)
	♥ 11:58pm Hoboken Jack: Another splendid show, EFD. Thank you!!
	♥ 11:58pm efd: got my foot on the accelerator...
	11:59pm Scraps: (Drivin' drivin'!)
	10:32pm Santi: Thanks for bringing the Modern Airline to the show¡, they are great, loved heraing them through the waves¡,
