	♥ 9:02pm Uncle Michael: Someone is excited about tomorrow.
	♥ 9:02pm medson: Lets go Yanks. : )
	♥ 9:03pm dale: i thought love was like a greco roman wrestling match. or maybe a rousing game of cornhole.
	9:03pm JakeGould: Now it feels like I am paying too much for food!
	9:04pm asheville jon: This john kiley is great! GO PHILLIES!
	9:04pm JakeGould: @dale: To me, love is like some naked lady standing on a clamshell for some reason. Or is that beauty?
	♥ 9:05pm Uncle Michael: In a little over 24 hours, half of baseball will be in first place and the other half will be in last place.
	♥ 9:05pm efd: ohhhh asheville john, if you are a Phillies fan you will want to stick around for our VERY SPECIAL PRESENTATION coming up!
	9:05pm Richard S: Happy Baseball!
	♥ 9:06pm medson: @efd cant wait
	9:06pm JakeGould: @efd: Every year, new listeners come along… And every year, they are introduced to a new and unique beauty words cannot properly describe.
	♥ 9:07pm efd: you are so right, JakeGould
	♥ 9:07pm dale: i always think of uma thurman in the adventures of baron munchausen when i imagine the lady on the halfshell. and now i think of harvey weinstein, too.
	9:10pm JakeGould: The beauty of that pre-1990s period of mass media… Things were a bit humbler… And companies often said, “Ehhh… We’ll put it out… We can at least make back some of our investment?”
	♥ 9:11pm Uncle Michael: 36 consecutive batters retired in a single game remains a record. Haddix has an all-time record. That's gonna have to do.
	9:11pm asheville jon: Efd: you gonna play the ‘69 Mets singing you gotta have heart from the ed sullivan show?
	♥ 9:11pm Julie M: Opening day, oh joy! I remember an opening day at the end of March (1998?) when it was about 80 degrees. And the Mets won, against the Phillies. See, Mets fans have to hold on to every good memory they can.
	♥ 9:12pm dale: i just think of the simpsons where one of the ringers got giantism of the head when i hear baseball tuneage.
	♥ 9:13pm dale: is bullpen betty gonna make a surprise appearance?
	♥ 9:14pm Uncle Michael: I'm watching Harold Reynolds the only way one can...with the sound off.
	9:15pm Richard S: Is there another sport with as much music as baseball?
	9:15pm Deep State Anthony: hey kids what did I miss?
	♥ 9:16pm Uncle Michael: Soccer has a lot of songs...a LOT of songs.
	9:18pm Pat Thomas: I love Barbara Manning !
	♥ 9:20pm dale: haven't thought about curt gowdy in ages.
	♥ 9:20pm Julie M: Curt Gowdy, Bob Murphy, Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Harry Kalas. Oh, my gosh. The sounds of summer.
	9:21pm JakeGould: Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice…
	9:21pm asheville jon: :( sure do miss Harry Kalas. :(
	♥ 9:22pm dale: makes me think of all those shows in the 70s, the american sportsman, wide world of sports....
	9:22pm JakeGould: Carl Yastrzemski is no Joe Shlabotnik.
	9:22pm Richard S: Ernie Harwell.....
	♥ 9:22pm Uncle Michael: Mel Allen...TWIB...I miss Mel a LOT.
	9:23pm Eugene R.: I always liked Yaz, until I ran into the passage in Jim Bouton, "Ball Four" about how Yaz tried to break the players' union by organizing a "superstars" union that would negotiate separately. Boo!
	♥ 9:24pm dale: dropping off the internet but listening over the stromberg carlson. g'night.
	♥ 9:24pm Julie M: Oh, gee, Jon, as a Met fan I appreciated Harry Kalas too. And let's not forget Phil Rizzuto. So many wonderful voices.
	9:25pm asheville jon: UM: lots of twibs on youtube! TWIB NOTES!
	♥ 9:26pm Uncle Michael: thanks for the tip, Jon "white sox fan" heh...I appreciate comedy
	♥ 9:26pm Julie M: And Ralph Kiner, y'all. What's not to like about Kiner's Korner?
	9:26pm Richard S: I LOVED the "Gillette Special" on TWIB! Best player of the past week, for whatever reason!
	9:27pm Deep State Anthony: he has to play John Fogerty Centerfield! youtu.be...
	9:27pm asheville jon: I hear ya Julie. I can still see the money store ads in my head. Ha! I grew up with a transistor radio under my pillow, with Harry and Whitey broadcasting the games. Good times
	9:27pm JakeGould: Such emotion.
	♥ 9:28pm Uncle Michael: I'm waiting for a certain song...
	♥ 9:29pm efd: [very magician voice] Uncle Michael, is THIS your song?
	♥ 9:29pm Uncle Michael: YES! But no.
	♥ 9:30pm Uncle Michael: Thank you so much, Evan!
	9:30pm asheville jon: UM, the doc ellis song?
	9:30pm Joe B: would have opted for Pennant Fever for a Cubs song
	♥ 9:30pm Uncle Michael: No...something maudlin.
	9:31pm Firebottle: Thank you for playing my favorite Steve Goodman song!
	♥ 9:31pm Uncle Michael: I go with "Hey, Hey...Holy Mackerel," usually.
	9:32pm JakeGould: Outside of Barbara Manning, this first hour is truly a showcase of questionable rhythm and timing skills on the part of the heartfelt musicians backing up non-singers… But I love!
	♥ 9:33pm Uncle Michael: Everyone has seen the clip of Denny and Bob Gibson, surely.
	9:33pm Joe B: re Harvey Haddix - Steve Wynn reported that Harvey's widow was very appreciative of the song
	♥ 9:33pm listener 126464: 31-6 and plays keyboard?
	♥ 9:34pm Uncle Michael: Ron Darling looks like an Oompa Loompa.
	9:35pm Deep State Anthony: Trace Adkins - Swing
	9:36pm Deep State Anthony: I think EFD is the fmu DJ with the least tude
	9:37pm Deep State Anthony: i would buy him a beer
	♥ 9:38pm Uncle Michael: Whew...I don't know when WGN commissioned it. I don't remember it from the '84 season. They wanted something from Steve a little more upbeat than "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request."
	♥ 9:44pm efd: the catalog # is cubs 84, hence my guess
	♥ 9:46pm Julie M: It's like listening to a radio broadcast of "A Christmas Carol" on Christmas Eve. Or not, I dunno, but I got a shiver...
	♥ 9:46pm efd: maybe I should do this for Hoof & Mouth some year...
	9:47pm Deep State Anthony: is this on record or digital?
	9:47pm JakeGould: To be fair, “Casey at the Bat” is really a painful poem that most children are forced to learn in elementary school in the U.S.
	9:47pm asheville jon: This is spectacular. RIP Tug
	♥ 9:47pm Uncle Michael: Better Tug than Tim.
	9:48pm JakeGould: So Tug is doing his best.
	9:48pm Deep State Anthony: Nothin' wrong w Tim
	♥ 9:48pm efd: 100% vinyl, Anthony.
	9:48pm asheville jon: Hell yeah UM (presuming you’re talking about mccarver)
	♥ 9:48pm efd: autographed, I might add
	9:48pm Joe B: Tug, one of about 300 bad trades made by the Mets that I have yet to get over
	9:49pm Deep State Anthony: wow. keep that....i would stop playing it
	9:50pm Deep State Anthony: get it digitiezed at high resolution
	♥ 9:50pm efd: eh, it's fine getting played once a year
	♥ 9:50pm efd: @jon I presume UM is referring to McGraw fils
	♥ 9:51pm Uncle Michael: No Jon...I meant McGraw. I'd rather listen to Tug then Tim.
	9:51pm JakeGould: Which is to say, I fully support EFD doing this at “Hoof and Mouth” one year.
	♥ 9:51pm medson: My Dad says there is a copy of this in his garage as he goes off to bed. What?
	9:52pm asheville jon: Ah, got it. Tim is not a baseball guy, and i don’t pay attention to new country “music”. Plus i’ll take any opportunity to crap on tim mccarver’s broadcasting.
	♥ 9:52pm Uncle Michael: If EFD doesn't play the song I'm waiting for, maybe I'll do it at Hoof N Mouth.
	♥ 9:53pm efd: I don't think I'm gonna play it because this is the end of the baseball material
	♥ 9:53pm Uncle Michael: I saw a recent photo of McCarver and he doesn't look long for this world.
	9:53pm Eugene R.: Though he is no longer in favor, I prefer Garrison Keillor's "Casey at the Bat (Road Game)".
	9:53pm Deep State Anthony: Tim is at a lot of braves opening days
	♥ 9:54pm Uncle Michael: Fine...I wasn't going to play any baseball songs on Friday and now I have to.
	♥ 9:54pm Uncle Michael: Tug's leaving it all on the field.
	9:55pm Richard S: And after Casey swung and missed on the unintentional spitball from a kid named Ken Landis, it bounced away from the catcher. Casey took off for first, and was safe when the throw went wild! Casey kept going as the tying runs scored. The ball bounced around in right field, and Casey was nearing third when it was finally corralled. Throw to the plate - and Casey slides in --- SAFE!!!!
	♥ 9:56pm Uncle Michael: What's the running time on that Casey, EFD?
	♥ 9:57pm Uncle Michael: I saw Painted Doll on the 17th...good stuff.
	9:57pm Deep State Anthony: EFD do you remember the Records?
	♥ 9:58pm Uncle Michael: Wait...no I didn't! I saw Valley Lodge! Too many bands, Dave!
	♥ 9:58pm medson: Its a good album.
	♥ 9:58pm Uncle Michael: I know this one! Yes, EFD remembers the Records!
	9:59pm Deep State Anthony: no one else I know remembers them
	10:00pm Deep State Anthony: Artful Dodger?
	♥ 10:00pm efd: keep hanging around WFMU comment boards Anthony, you'll find plenty of folks who do
	♥ 10:00pm Uncle Michael: Will Burch is a fine author these days. His next book is a Nick Lowe bio.
	♥ 10:01pm efd: played Artful Dodger on my show a couple of months ago I think
	10:02pm Deep State Anthony: wow.
	♥ 10:02pm Uncle Michael: Been over a year for me.
	10:03pm Deep State Anthony: a lot of their stuff isn't even on cd..uncle michael...you play power pop?
	10:04pm tom from Glasgow: “Starry Eyes” is one of my forever favourite faves, tho i don’t really know any others
	10:04pm Deep State Anthony: I only heard this show a couple of weeks ag and now this is an appointment I keep
	♥ 10:05pm Uncle Michael: I play a lot of things...including power pop. Anthony, this is one of the best shows on radio.
	10:05pm Deep State Anthony: starry eyes is the hit...they had a great first album. seek it out
	♥ 10:06pm efd: I appreciate that, Anthony!
	10:06pm Stevel: Good CRAP, what a fucking month its been. So VERY GOOD to be here. Hey, UM. efd: How is it that I both love and loathe Casey at the Bat/Tug? Does this make me a bad person? Asking for a friend.
	10:06pm Deep State Anthony: i agree. there's a lot of great shows on this station, wish I did't have to listen on mp3
	♥ 10:07pm Uncle Michael: Starry Eyes, Teenarama, Hearts In Her Eyes, Affection Rejected...great band.
	10:08pm Deep State Anthony: I spent 75 bucks last week between this show and boom boom's
	10:08pm Deep State Anthony: stuff i had never heard
	♥ 10:09pm listener 126464: stick around for the talk shows also
	♥ 10:09pm Uncle Michael: How cool is a Colin Moulding comeback?
	♥ 10:10pm medson: Nice one efd
	10:12pm Deep State Anthony: I found out about wfmu via SUW..started listening to the music via SBB, I am afraid if I listened to political talk shows on WFMU you might run me off
	♥ 10:12pm Julie M: Oh, hey Evan and all, I almost forgot that I have tickets to the Bowie show at Brooklyn Museum for this Friday (somehow this vocal is a little Bowie-y to me). Anybody been yet? I'm looking forward to it.
	10:12pm Cleve-lyn Henry: Evan, the other DJs can all just give up now. You have found the best song, and lo, its name is Love Is Like a Baseball Game.
	♥ 10:13pm listener 126464: Neither Techtonic (Monday) or Gig Talk (Thursday) are political
	♥ 10:14pm Uncle Michael: SUW? SBB? political talk shows on FMU?
	10:14pm Deep State Anthony: shut up weirdo
	♥ 10:14pm efd: haa, thank you Cleve-lyn. @Julie haven't been yet but some co-workers have and liked it a lot
	♥ 10:14pm Uncle Michael: ah...and sheila's show
	10:14pm Deep State Anthony: sophisticated boom boom
	♥ 10:15pm Uncle Michael: In Real Life isn't political either
	10:16pm Deep State Anthony: so I was waiting for SUW and heard SBB which comes on before
	♥ 10:16pm medson: Or Seven Second Delay
	♥ 10:16pm listener 126464: right. IRL is more blog/interview show. i love it
	10:17pm Stevel: Worriers are tremendous! I'll keep my eyes open for them.
	10:17pm Richard S: I don't think there's ANY "politics" here at WFMU.
	♥ 10:17pm Little Danny: Hey Larry, hey all!
	10:17pm Deep State Anthony: I have heard emily get really political...and it was painful for a red stater like myself
	♥ 10:18pm Uncle Michael: Larry's in the other room, Danny. ;-)
	10:18pm Deep State Anthony: and i really like her show too
	♥ 10:19pm Little Danny: OMG, thanks UM
	10:19pm RomanDogBird: seven second delay is totally a political show, andy brekcman is male feminist after all
	10:19pm Deep State Anthony: i was on SSD once
	♥ 10:20pm listener 126464: Laura from Worriers played Asbury Park Brewery last weekend. Noticed Todd is now booking some shows there.
	10:21pm katharsis: Hellos
	♥ 10:21pm Uncle Michael: I better go and get my baseball sleep. I have a game to watch at my desk at work tomorrow.
	♥ 10:21pm efd: ha, see ya UM!
	10:22pm Deep State Anthony: this almost sounds like Jesus and the Mary Chain
	♥ 10:22pm efd: @126464 yep, she's playing some solo shows and then I think the band is going to Europe in May...? I'm holding out for the full band. :)
	10:22pm Deep State Anthony: Stoned and Dethroned
	♥ 10:23pm medson: Same here I have to watch the first few innings at work tomorrow
	♥ 10:23pm Uncle Michael: night all

	10:25pm Deep State Anthony: finally something I know
	♥ 10:26pm listener 126464: who was at the psy furs show at aldo's?
	10:26pm Deep State Anthony: play some echo if you can
	10:27pm Deep State Anthony: did the furs play with the church?
	♥ 10:27pm medson: @efd did you hear the new Telephone Lovers single?
	♥ 10:28pm efd: I think I heard Todd play it...? Didn't notice it in the library yet though
	♥ 10:28pm medson: Thanks Julie
	♥ 10:28pm medson: My copy arrived broken in half
	♥ 10:29pm medson: Fragile means fold I guess
	♥ 10:29pm efd: @Anthony I played Echo a few weeks ago, they're on the bench for a while :)
	♥ 10:29pm efd: ugh that sucks!
	10:29pm Deep State Anthony: ok, fair enough
	10:30pm Joe B: Painted Doll also playing saturday night at bond street bar in asbury park
	10:31pm Deep State Anthony: you would think by 2018 record companies would have figured out a way to eliminate inner groove distortion

	♥ 10:32pm efd: thanks Joe, I knew they were looking for another show that night but hadn't heard where it would be

	10:58pm Deep State Anthony: i just read about cindy. wow she's an elder statesman of new wave

	♥ 9:11pm Julie M: Opening day, oh joy! I remember an opening day at the end of March (1998?) when it was about 80 degrees. And the Mets won, against the Phillies. See, Mets fans have to hold on to every good memory they can.
	♥ 9:12pm dale: i just think of the simpsons where one of the ringers got giantism of the head when i hear baseball tuneage.
	♥ 9:13pm dale: is bullpen betty gonna make a surprise appearance?
	♥ 9:14pm Uncle Michael: I'm watching Harold Reynolds the only way one can...with the sound off.
	9:15pm Richard S: Is there another sport with as much music as baseball?
	9:15pm Deep State Anthony: hey kids what did I miss?
	♥ 9:16pm Uncle Michael: Soccer has a lot of songs...a LOT of songs.
	9:18pm Pat Thomas: I love Barbara Manning !
	♥ 9:20pm dale: haven't thought about curt gowdy in ages.
	♥ 9:20pm Julie M: Curt Gowdy, Bob Murphy, Vin Scully, Harry Caray, Harry Kalas. Oh, my gosh. The sounds of summer.
	9:21pm JakeGould: Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice… Practice…
	9:21pm asheville jon: :( sure do miss Harry Kalas. :(
	♥ 9:22pm dale: makes me think of all those shows in the 70s, the american sportsman, wide world of sports....
	9:22pm JakeGould: Carl Yastrzemski is no Joe Shlabotnik.
	9:22pm Richard S: Ernie Harwell.....
	♥ 9:22pm Uncle Michael: Mel Allen...TWIB...I miss Mel a LOT.
	9:23pm Eugene R.: I always liked Yaz, until I ran into the passage in Jim Bouton, "Ball Four" about how Yaz tried to break the players' union by organizing a "superstars" union that would negotiate separately. Boo!
	♥ 9:24pm dale: dropping off the internet but listening over the stromberg carlson. g'night.
	♥ 9:24pm Julie M: Oh, gee, Jon, as a Met fan I appreciated Harry Kalas too. And let's not forget Phil Rizzuto. So many wonderful voices.
	9:25pm asheville jon: UM: lots of twibs on youtube! TWIB NOTES!
	♥ 9:26pm Uncle Michael: thanks for the tip, Jon "white sox fan" heh...I appreciate comedy
	♥ 9:26pm Julie M: And Ralph Kiner, y'all. What's not to like about Kiner's Korner?
	9:26pm Richard S: I LOVED the "Gillette Special" on TWIB! Best player of the past week, for whatever reason!
	9:27pm Deep State Anthony: he has to play John Fogerty Centerfield! youtu.be...
	9:27pm asheville jon: I hear ya Julie. I can still see the money store ads in my head. Ha! I grew up with a transistor radio under my pillow, with Harry and Whitey broadcasting the games. Good times
	9:27pm JakeGould: Such emotion.
	♥ 9:28pm Uncle Michael: I'm waiting for a certain song...
	♥ 9:29pm efd: [very magician voice] Uncle Michael, is THIS your song?
	♥ 9:29pm Uncle Michael: YES! But no.
	♥ 9:30pm Uncle Michael: Thank you so much, Evan!
	9:30pm asheville jon: UM, the doc ellis song?
	9:30pm Joe B: would have opted for Pennant Fever for a Cubs song
	♥ 9:30pm Uncle Michael: No...something maudlin.
	9:31pm Firebottle: Thank you for playing my favorite Steve Goodman song!
	♥ 9:31pm Uncle Michael: I go with "Hey, Hey...Holy Mackerel," usually.
	9:32pm JakeGould: Outside of Barbara Manning, this first hour is truly a showcase of questionable rhythm and timing skills on the part of the heartfelt musicians backing up non-singers… But I love!
	♥ 9:33pm Uncle Michael: Everyone has seen the clip of Denny and Bob Gibson, surely.
	9:33pm Joe B: re Harvey Haddix - Steve Wynn reported that Harvey's widow was very appreciative of the song
	♥ 9:33pm listener 126464: 31-6 and plays keyboard?
	♥ 9:34pm Uncle Michael: Ron Darling looks like an Oompa Loompa.
	9:35pm Deep State Anthony: Trace Adkins - Swing
	9:36pm Deep State Anthony: I think EFD is the fmu DJ with the least tude
	9:37pm Deep State Anthony: i would buy him a beer
	♥ 9:38pm Uncle Michael: Whew...I don't know when WGN commissioned it. I don't remember it from the '84 season. They wanted something from Steve a little more upbeat than "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request."
	♥ 9:44pm efd: the catalog # is cubs 84, hence my guess
	♥ 9:46pm Julie M: It's like listening to a radio broadcast of "A Christmas Carol" on Christmas Eve. Or not, I dunno, but I got a shiver...
	♥ 9:46pm efd: maybe I should do this for Hoof & Mouth some year...
	9:47pm Deep State Anthony: is this on record or digital?
	9:47pm JakeGould: To be fair, “Casey at the Bat” is really a painful poem that most children are forced to learn in elementary school in the U.S.
	9:47pm asheville jon: This is spectacular. RIP Tug
	♥ 9:47pm Uncle Michael: Better Tug than Tim.
	9:48pm JakeGould: So Tug is doing his best.
	9:48pm Deep State Anthony: Nothin' wrong w Tim
	♥ 9:48pm efd: 100% vinyl, Anthony.
	9:48pm asheville jon: Hell yeah UM (presuming you’re talking about mccarver)
	♥ 9:48pm efd: autographed, I might add
	9:48pm Joe B: Tug, one of about 300 bad trades made by the Mets that I have yet to get over
	9:49pm Deep State Anthony: wow. keep that....i would stop playing it
	9:50pm Deep State Anthony: get it digitiezed at high resolution
	♥ 9:50pm efd: eh, it's fine getting played once a year
	♥ 9:50pm efd: @jon I presume UM is referring to McGraw fils
	♥ 9:51pm Uncle Michael: No Jon...I meant McGraw. I'd rather listen to Tug then Tim.
	9:51pm JakeGould: Which is to say, I fully support EFD doing this at “Hoof and Mouth” one year.
	♥ 9:51pm medson: My Dad says there is a copy of this in his garage as he goes off to bed. What?
	9:52pm asheville jon: Ah, got it. Tim is not a baseball guy, and i don’t pay attention to new country “music”. Plus i’ll take any opportunity to crap on tim mccarver’s broadcasting.
	♥ 9:52pm Uncle Michael: If EFD doesn't play the song I'm waiting for, maybe I'll do it at Hoof N Mouth.
	♥ 9:53pm efd: I don't think I'm gonna play it because this is the end of the baseball material
	♥ 9:53pm Uncle Michael: I saw a recent photo of McCarver and he doesn't look long for this world.
	9:53pm Eugene R.: Though he is no longer in favor, I prefer Garrison Keillor's "Casey at the Bat (Road Game)".
	9:53pm Deep State Anthony: Tim is at a lot of braves opening days
	♥ 9:54pm Uncle Michael: Fine...I wasn't going to play any baseball songs on Friday and now I have to.
	♥ 9:54pm Uncle Michael: Tug's leaving it all on the field.
	9:55pm Richard S: And after Casey swung and missed on the unintentional spitball from a kid named Ken Landis, it bounced away from the catcher. Casey took off for first, and was safe when the throw went wild! Casey kept going as the tying runs scored. The ball bounced around in right field, and Casey was nearing third when it was finally corralled. Throw to the plate - and Casey slides in --- SAFE!!!!
	♥ 9:56pm Uncle Michael: What's the running time on that Casey, EFD?
	♥ 9:57pm Uncle Michael: I saw Painted Doll on the 17th...good stuff.
	9:57pm Deep State Anthony: EFD do you remember the Records?
	♥ 9:58pm Uncle Michael: Wait...no I didn't! I saw Valley Lodge! Too many bands, Dave!
	♥ 9:58pm medson: Its a good album.
	♥ 9:58pm Uncle Michael: I know this one! Yes, EFD remembers the Records!
	9:59pm Deep State Anthony: no one else I know remembers them
	10:00pm Deep State Anthony: Artful Dodger?
	♥ 10:00pm efd: keep hanging around WFMU comment boards Anthony, you'll find plenty of folks who do
	♥ 10:00pm Uncle Michael: Will Burch is a fine author these days. His next book is a Nick Lowe bio.
	♥ 10:01pm efd: played Artful Dodger on my show a couple of months ago I think
	10:02pm Deep State Anthony: wow.
	♥ 10:02pm Uncle Michael: Been over a year for me.
	10:03pm Deep State Anthony: a lot of their stuff isn't even on cd..uncle michael...you play power pop?
	10:04pm tom from Glasgow: “Starry Eyes” is one of my forever favourite faves, tho i don’t really know any others
	10:04pm Deep State Anthony: I only heard this show a couple of weeks ag and now this is an appointment I keep
	♥ 10:05pm Uncle Michael: I play a lot of things...including power pop. Anthony, this is one of the best shows on radio.
	10:05pm Deep State Anthony: starry eyes is the hit...they had a great first album. seek it out
	♥ 10:06pm efd: I appreciate that, Anthony!
	10:06pm Stevel: Good CRAP, what a fucking month its been. So VERY GOOD to be here. Hey, UM. efd: How is it that I both love and loathe Casey at the Bat/Tug? Does this make me a bad person? Asking for a friend.
	10:06pm Deep State Anthony: i agree. there's a lot of great shows on this station, wish I did't have to listen on mp3
	♥ 10:07pm Uncle Michael: Starry Eyes, Teenarama, Hearts In Her Eyes, Affection Rejected...great band.
	10:08pm Deep State Anthony: I spent 75 bucks last week between this show and boom boom's
	10:08pm Deep State Anthony: stuff i had never heard
	♥ 10:09pm listener 126464: stick around for the talk shows also
	♥ 10:09pm Uncle Michael: How cool is a Colin Moulding comeback?
	♥ 10:10pm medson: Nice one efd
	10:12pm Deep State Anthony: I found out about wfmu via SUW..started listening to the music via SBB, I am afraid if I listened to political talk shows on WFMU you might run me off
	♥ 10:12pm Julie M: Oh, hey Evan and all, I almost forgot that I have tickets to the Bowie show at Brooklyn Museum for this Friday (somehow this vocal is a little Bowie-y to me). Anybody been yet? I'm looking forward to it.
	10:12pm Cleve-lyn Henry: Evan, the other DJs can all just give up now. You have found the best song, and lo, its name is Love Is Like a Baseball Game.
	♥ 10:13pm listener 126464: Neither Techtonic (Monday) or Gig Talk (Thursday) are political
	♥ 10:14pm Uncle Michael: SUW? SBB? political talk shows on FMU?
	10:14pm Deep State Anthony: shut up weirdo
	♥ 10:14pm efd: haa, thank you Cleve-lyn. @Julie haven't been yet but some co-workers have and liked it a lot
	♥ 10:14pm Uncle Michael: ah...and sheila's show
	10:14pm Deep State Anthony: sophisticated boom boom
	♥ 10:15pm Uncle Michael: In Real Life isn't political either
	10:16pm Deep State Anthony: so I was waiting for SUW and heard SBB which comes on before
	♥ 10:16pm medson: Or Seven Second Delay
	♥ 10:16pm listener 126464: right. IRL is more blog/interview show. i love it
	10:17pm Stevel: Worriers are tremendous! I'll keep my eyes open for them.
	10:17pm Richard S: I don't think there's ANY "politics" here at WFMU.
	♥ 10:17pm Little Danny: Hey Larry, hey all!
	10:17pm Deep State Anthony: I have heard emily get really political...and it was painful for a red stater like myself
	♥ 10:18pm Uncle Michael: Larry's in the other room, Danny. ;-)
	10:18pm Deep State Anthony: and i really like her show too
	♥ 10:19pm Little Danny: OMG, thanks UM
	10:19pm RomanDogBird: seven second delay is totally a political show, andy brekcman is male feminist after all
	10:19pm Deep State Anthony: i was on SSD once
	♥ 10:20pm listener 126464: Laura from Worriers played Asbury Park Brewery last weekend. Noticed Todd is now booking some shows there.
	10:21pm katharsis: Hellos
	♥ 10:21pm Uncle Michael: I better go and get my baseball sleep. I have a game to watch at my desk at work tomorrow.
	♥ 10:21pm efd: ha, see ya UM!
	10:22pm Deep State Anthony: this almost sounds like Jesus and the Mary Chain
	♥ 10:22pm efd: @126464 yep, she's playing some solo shows and then I think the band is going to Europe in May...? I'm holding out for the full band. :)
	10:22pm Deep State Anthony: Stoned and Dethroned

	♥ 10:28pm medson: Thanks Julie

	11:01pm Deep State Anthony: i remember the first time I heard the B-52s. WSHE in Miami experimented with a punk new wave format in 1977-78. I was like 8. By 1979 they were back to playing Molly Hatchet
