	9:39pm Mika: Thanks efd!
	♥ 9:39pm medson: @efd Great song for your Pop Roxx segment this am. It's become one of my favorite segments.
	♥ 9:40pm efd: awesome, thanks Medson!
	♥ 9:43pm chris_in_space: Good evening Funkstituents! It's great to be here. This track by Wussy is the sound I like!
	♥ 9:45pm efd: welcome chris, and welcome all commenteers and lurkers! Thanks for tuning in tonight!
	9:53pm mark G: I Lived in Milwaukee in the early 80's- Einstein's Riceboys seemed to pop up around '81-'82, and I saw their name around town a lot on fliers and gig listings. But I never saw them and don't know a thing about them except I loved the name. I didn't have the radio on when you played them so I don't even know if I would recognize the song. Other newly formed Milwaukee bands around that time were Tense Experts, Oil Tasters (fave of mine), Boy Dirt Car, X-Cleavers. Also emerging were Couch Flambeau and Die Kreutzen.
	♥ 9:56pm Tome: hey EFD lovin' it !
	♥ 9:58pm Bootsie: Fun fact: "comprising" is actually correct. Sans the "of."
	♥ 9:59pm Switchblade Batman: Hey EFD, as usual great show. But is the network 77 you're talking about? www.network77.com
	♥ 9:59pm efd: aargh! I always get crossed up between "comprising" and "composed of!"
	♥ 10:00pm efd: hey Tome! Thanks for the MKE info, mark! There was a great Oil Tasters reissue a while back that I'd forgotten about so thanks for the reminder!
	♥ 10:02pm Bootsie: I had always thought it was "comprised of," until recently.
	10:08pm JakeGould: Hey EFD!!!
	♥ 10:09pm chris_in_space: It's all about context. Al Stewart never sounded so good.
	♥ 10:10pm efd: Switchblade, yes, that's it! Hey Jake! chris, 100% correct.
	♥ 10:10pm Uncle Michael: This record always sounds great to me.
	10:13pm ice in Bklyn: Undeniably
	♥ 10:14pm Switchblade Batman: I think Patton Oswalt was tweeting about it a while ago. I meant to check it out. THanks for the reminder!
	10:14pm ice in Bklyn: I often refer to myself as a two-hit wonder, but that’s usually related to pot smoking.
	♥ 10:15pm Uncle Michael: I saw a reference on Facebook to the the second episode of Network 77 being up, but when I checked, it was still the first one.
	♥ 10:16pm Uncle Michael: I was actually hoping to debut the Creamer single...but I don't have it yet!
	♥ 10:17pm efd: I just bought it at about 8:50pm tonight!
	♥ 10:18pm Uncle Michael: I'd hoped to debut the new Lemon Twigs but Pseu beat me to that one.
	♥ 10:20pm Uncle Michael: I'M NOT COMPETITIVE.
	10:24pm ice in Bklyn: Hand raised
	10:24pm JakeGould: OMFG EFD, are you an Al Stewart obsessive now?
	10:24pm Rammstein: Totally worth it.
	♥ 10:25pm Bootsie: I _thought_ "Year of the Cat" sounded different from the way I remembered...
	10:26pm Gordon FM: Year of the Cat is one of the best recordings ever. Thank you.
	♥ 10:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: That song is so good, it has nine lives.
	♥ 10:27pm Switchblade Batman: Aww, thanks for the shoutout @EFD
	10:36pm JakeGould: Nothing wrong with being passionate about an artist like Al Stewart.
	10:37pm as from mp: en attendant = only the t is silent. you may be confusing with 3rd person plural 'ils attendent' where ent is silent but hard d sound is pronounced... hope that helps, not too pedantic
	10:40pm Mags in Rockaway Beach: Great show!!
	♥ 10:40pm efd: thanks Mags! I was out your way on Sunday evening!
	♥ 10:41pm efd: as, I appreciate the French refresher!
	10:45pm Mike tp: sounding good the merchants......
	10:56pm JakeGould: I regret all of my Al Stewart snark.
	10:56pm steveL: The Skrags sound see-able
	11:05pm larry of lackawack: Bought Body Head tix today for BSP
	11:12pm steveL: That last gasping breath!
	♥ 11:15pm efd: a great moment in recorded sound!
	♥ 11:15pm efd: steve, I note that you are now lowercasing your first initial and uppercasing your last initial.
	♥ 11:18pm Mike Sin: Two versions of "Saturday Night," correct? UK and US versions have different vocals, IIRC.
	♥ 11:19pm efd: @Jake all is forgiven! (actually I wasn't even upset in the first place!)
	♥ 11:20pm efd: ooh, Mike, that sounds familiar now that you mention it
	11:25pm steveL: efd: My graphic adjustment is because I wiped it from the app (see Rammstein) and couldn't remember exactly how it was. Also, I've wanted to clarify this initial. For a long time. Possibly overthinking, but hey.
	11:25pm DJ E: Got to see Electric Six last year when they came down to S. Florida. Really fun show. "We have come to S. Florida to make a record with O.J. Simpson"
	11:26pm DJ E: Sorry, been meaning to mention it since you said they were playing downstairs.
	♥ 11:30pm efd: yeah, I saw them last year around this time downstairs. Not on a Wednesday, obvs.
	♥ 11:33pm Hoboken Jack: Pale Lights: good tunes, good people!
	♥ 11:34pm efd: agreed on both counts, Jack!
	11:40pm mmmmud face: Just want to say thanks for the RockATeens tix last week- that show was f*ing amazing!!! Age appropriate shows can change your life!!!
	11:40pm steveL: Hey kids! What season is it?!
	11:41pm fleep: And .... there it is.
	♥ 11:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: I can hear it!
	♥ 11:43pm efd: thanks for the thanks, mmmmud face! Glad you enjoyed the show!
	11:48pm Solely and FashionTashjian: Greetings from the sunny city Yerevan, Armenia. It's 07:47 am here. And the day, of course, starts with WFMU.
	♥ 11:52pm efd: welcome to Wednesday night, FT!
