	9:50pm Adorno: Happy New Year from Manila!
	9:50pm Carmichael: Sweet guitar.
	♥ 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: Happy new year Evan and funksters! Just got in from a party, now spending the last hours of the first day with knitting, something fizzy in a flute glass, and 'FMU.
	♥ 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: Shout out to all the Rats! I'm 1960 too, Tome!
	9:52pm RobinSays: Happy happy new year Evan! You're playing awesome music as per usual. Viva Chandra!
	♥ 9:53pm efd: Manila! Happy New Year to yo, Adorno! And you, Kat, Tome, and Robin!
	♥ 9:55pm Kat in Chicago: Much as I enjoy the holiday fill-in shows, it was nice to have the usual WFMU Wednesday crew on duty today. Especially since I haven't been able to listen that much on weekdays lately.
	♥ 9:57pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Medson Man, SteveL, 126464, and all!!
	9:59pm Carmichael: I am, some say appropriately, the year of the cock.
	♥ 10:00pm Kat in Chicago: Wow, Ladymonix made it to #3! I got a couple of other dance tracks to recommend to you, Evan, if I ever remember to do it.
	♥ 10:00pm Aitch: Full or half mongrel?

	♥ 10:06pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL youtu.be...
	10:09pm Carmichael: This reminds me if Rick Derringer
	10:14pm Eddy in Australia: Happy New Year Evan and everyone. Haven't been able to listen live and comment for ages but couldn't miss your best-of show. I'll give my vote for No. 1 single to The Anemic Boyfriends, even though I love that Exbats song (and it's on an Australian label, for some weird reason).
	♥ 10:16pm efd: Eddy and Aitch, how are you guys doing with the wildfires? It sounds like a horrible situation.
	10:25pm Eddy in Australia: Safe and unaffected in my part of Melbourne. Spent some of the holidays in the countryside but it's also an area which has (so far) escaped the bushfires. What's going on elsewhere is terrifying. And don't get me started on our idiot PM.
	10:27pm Carmichael: Seems to be a universal theme, Eddy. Be safe.
	♥ 10:27pm Kat in Chicago: Such a great version of "Darling Be Home Soon"
	10:27pm RobinSays: WFMU played "Darling Be Home Soon" over and over on September 11. I was freaking out in my little room at St. Mary's Residence across the street from the station until I went to the station where I spent the afternoon with Scott Williams and Bob Gruen who happened to be stuck in JC. Their company was very comforting. Here's to a more peaceful decade...
	♥ 10:31pm Aitch: Just smoke in Sydney, lots of it. Some dear friends may or may or not have a house when they get home about 3 hrs south. Surrounded by warehouses here, more chance of being burnt by a meth-head than a rogue tree.
	10:31pm Carmichael: Apropos of nothing, just saw the Searching for Sugarman doc last night. Thanks to FMU for teaching me.
	10:31pm Eddy in Australia: Carmichael: Thanks. Yep, there's a few of them in charge of things at the moment.
	10:37pm JakeGould: Well, stay safe down over there in Australia.
	♥ 10:40pm efd: thanks for the updates Eddy and Aitch.
	10:44pm Carmichael: Mdou. My guitar idol of the decade.
	♥ 10:44pm Mike Sin: That "All the Young Droogs" comp = somethin' else! Cherry Red delivers in spades once again!
	10:45pm steveL: Mdou. Astounding. Hope some of you saw him. My angles didn’t pan out, although, I think he did swing through Chicago.
	10:46pm medson: This was my biggest regret of 2019. Miss this show @Monty Hall
	♥ 10:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mdou Moctar = Five thumbs up!
	10:55pm steveL: Thanks for the link, Kat! Appreciated!
	11:01pm Marc15: 4 minutes a song
	11:02pm Marc15: Happy New Year, Evan. I am looking forward to another Great Year Of Your Show
	♥ 11:03pm efd: that doesn't leave any time for backannnouncing though!
	♥ 11:03pm efd: thank you Marc, so am I!
	11:04pm DETENTION: Cheers EFD! thanks for the tunes
	♥ 11:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pull a Ken Freedman and play them at 107% faster RPM than normal.
	11:04pm Carmichael: Just a few more weeks until Singles Going Steady, he he ...
	11:04pm Marc15: You are welcome, Evan!
	11:05pm Marc15: Quick back announcing?
	♥ 11:07pm efd: it'll have to be!
	♥ 11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Er ... 7% faster than normal or 107% of normal speed. Just changed oil in the brain and air bubbles still getting filtered out.
	11:10pm Carmichael: Xm Sirius always clips off the last 5 seconds of every song. EVERY song.
	♥ 11:12pm Kat in Chicago: I caught Mdou Moctar at a late summer street festival in Chicago. Great. Boogarins played that afternoon too!
	11:13pm Joe B: great show efd!
	♥ 11:16pm efd: thanks Joe!
	11:32pm pp: The Dream Shatner
	11:50pm Listener Bop Monroe: great choices all. cool countdown. thnx!
	♥ 11:50pm efd: thank you, glad you dug it!
	11:54pm Eddy in Australia: Great show, Evan. Well done squeezing 15 albums into one hour! Have a great year.
	♥ 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, efd. Let's see what grooves make next year's list.
	♥ 11:56pm Kat in Chicago: You had a great year on the show, Evan!
	♥ 11:56pm efd: phew, I can't believe it!
	♥ 11:57pm efd: thanks so much Kat! I'll gladly take those recommendations you mentioned when you think of it!
	11:59pm Carmichael: Take the rest if the night off.
	6:34pm truthseeker: efd: that doesn't leave any time for backannnouncing though! Suits us fine Evan! lol
	4:20pm Dugan: Digging back into the archives. Let's rock, EFD of the Past!
	11:25pm Dugan: I'm STILL listening to the 3rd hour of this sucker. Good lord!

	♥ 9:55pm Kat in Chicago: Much as I enjoy the holiday fill-in shows, it was nice to have the usual WFMU Wednesday crew on duty today. Especially since I haven't been able to listen that much on weekdays lately.
	♥ 9:57pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Medson Man, SteveL, 126464, and all!!
	9:59pm Carmichael: I am, some say appropriately, the year of the cock.
	♥ 10:00pm Kat in Chicago: Wow, Ladymonix made it to #3! I got a couple of other dance tracks to recommend to you, Evan, if I ever remember to do it.
	♥ 10:00pm Aitch: Full or half mongrel?
	♥ 10:02pm Aitch: Tale of Devotion by Terr was my dance fave
	10:03pm steveL: What is that lady Ladymonix sample? “Touch all of this skin.” So familiar
	10:04pm John from Florian park: @Jakegould read that nyt article very interesting
	♥ 10:04pm Kat in Chicago: It's from Paris Is Burning
	10:05pm Carmichael: Elliott Easton!?! No wonder I loved that crisp little solo!
	10:05pm John from Florham park: Can’t wait to hear them EFD
	♥ 10:06pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL youtu.be...
	10:09pm Carmichael: This reminds me if Rick Derringer
	10:14pm Eddy in Australia: Happy New Year Evan and everyone. Haven't been able to listen live and comment for ages but couldn't miss your best-of show. I'll give my vote for No. 1 single to The Anemic Boyfriends, even though I love that Exbats song (and it's on an Australian label, for some weird reason).
	♥ 10:16pm efd: Eddy and Aitch, how are you guys doing with the wildfires? It sounds like a horrible situation.
	10:25pm Eddy in Australia: Safe and unaffected in my part of Melbourne. Spent some of the holidays in the countryside but it's also an area which has (so far) escaped the bushfires. What's going on elsewhere is terrifying. And don't get me started on our idiot PM.
	10:27pm Carmichael: Seems to be a universal theme, Eddy. Be safe.
	♥ 10:27pm Kat in Chicago: Such a great version of "Darling Be Home Soon"
	10:27pm RobinSays: WFMU played "Darling Be Home Soon" over and over on September 11. I was freaking out in my little room at St. Mary's Residence across the street from the station until I went to the station where I spent the afternoon with Scott Williams and Bob Gruen who happened to be stuck in JC. Their company was very comforting. Here's to a more peaceful decade...
	♥ 10:31pm Aitch: Just smoke in Sydney, lots of it. Some dear friends may or may or not have a house when they get home about 3 hrs south. Surrounded by warehouses here, more chance of being burnt by a meth-head than a rogue tree.
	10:31pm Carmichael: Apropos of nothing, just saw the Searching for Sugarman doc last night. Thanks to FMU for teaching me.
	10:31pm Eddy in Australia: Carmichael: Thanks. Yep, there's a few of them in charge of things at the moment.
	10:37pm JakeGould: Well, stay safe down over there in Australia.
	♥ 10:40pm efd: thanks for the updates Eddy and Aitch.
	10:44pm Carmichael: Mdou. My guitar idol of the decade.
	♥ 10:44pm Mike Sin: That "All the Young Droogs" comp = somethin' else! Cherry Red delivers in spades once again!
	10:45pm steveL: Mdou. Astounding. Hope some of you saw him. My angles didn’t pan out, although, I think he did swing through Chicago.
	10:46pm medson: This was my biggest regret of 2019. Miss this show @Monty Hall
	♥ 10:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mdou Moctar = Five thumbs up!
	10:55pm steveL: Thanks for the link, Kat! Appreciated!
	11:01pm Marc15: 4 minutes a song

	11:05pm Marc15: Quick back announcing?
	♥ 11:07pm efd: it'll have to be!
	♥ 11:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Er ... 7% faster than normal or 107% of normal speed. Just changed oil in the brain and air bubbles still getting filtered out.
	11:10pm Carmichael: Xm Sirius always clips off the last 5 seconds of every song. EVERY song.
	♥ 11:12pm Kat in Chicago: I caught Mdou Moctar at a late summer street festival in Chicago. Great. Boogarins played that afternoon too!
