WFMU: The Evan "Funk" Davies Show: Playlist from April 13, 2022

Listener comments!
	12:00pm Harry Corvair: @efd, many thanks for the Sparks set you played a couple weeks ago. Downloaded the show and listened to it probably once a day since, sometimes more. Some righteous and sublime tunes. Was not especially familiar with Sparks, grateful for the introduction.
	12:00pm Yes: howdy
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: Return of the 100' Ethernet Cable! efd! All the other letters!
	12:01pm mariano: Hey, efd, long time no see! Good morning/afternoon, Handy, Yes, Harry!
	12:01pm efd: @Harry Thanks! There's more where that came from, if you're interested: wfmu.org... At least one song from every Sparks studio album.
	12:02pm Handy Haversack: efd, I thought there was something delightfully Sparksian about that Johnny Average Band track you played this morning. Good one! RIP, C. W.!
	12:02pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Hey, I was reading this bit in The New Yorker this morning about a guy attempting to canoe through the bodies of water in Central Park. Sounded like the big hazard was getting arrested.
	12:02pm Figgsrock: Ah yes, the follow up to Convoy, which I do not own.
	12:02pm morphe': Keep on Truckin'
	12:03pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greets!
	12:03pm Patrick S.: Hi EFD. Glad the station is playing it safe. DJ 100' Ethernet Cable for the save!
	12:03pm Hughie Considine: CW does something Sparks-ian in breaking the fourth wall and referring to "this song"
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Joe McG did a C. W. McCall Tribute set (with capital letters, so a different take) last week: www.wfmu.org... For post-efd consumption, clearly.
	12:04pm -жеи: Studio Funk coming in Loudon Clear EFD!
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: Ah, nice the fruits of the NOLA trip! So wish I could have been a part of that luncheon!
	12:05pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and others. Looking forward to some funky funky tunes.
	12:05pm Chris Crash: Hello Mr. Funk!
	12:06pm efd: thank you ken!
	12:06pm Rich in Washington: Greetings, EFD! Home DJin's fun, huh?. All your records are right there and you can wear pajamas.
	12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Handy, 100 ft leash Bagpipe, everybody! TuneIn was briefly down but is back.
	12:07pm karlward: Euclid Records was a highlight of my last trip to NOLA
	12:08pm McGroovey: Yeah, I take a picture of my New Orleans haul as I'm packing up to come home. Since Facebook is basically un-searchable, and my photo archives are totally disorganized, I basically can't ever find those photos again, though.
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Alas, BP is not roaming far. He had surgery yesterday to remove some tumors and skin tags and is feeling pretty punk still. And has the Hemorrhoid Pillow of Shame around his neck.
	12:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh good gawd, my high school girlfriend made me listen to Leif Garrett.
	12:08pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, efd and all the funksters! Groovin' tunes abound!
	12:09pm Carmichael: "Sooner or Later, Love is Gonna Get Ya ..." 🎵
	12:09pm luka: jump roping over the 100' ethernet cable to this leif garrett track
	12:09pm Mister Dobalina: The Funk is strong today.
	12:10pm karlward: One thing I love about NOLA record stores: it is very easy to find local music in them, which is different than pretty much every record store everywhere
	12:10pm drr: Hello from New Orleans! Latest Euclid find: a LP by Thermos Greenwood, the first rock band I ever saw play live (about 1975, at a Georgia Tech homecoming pep rally with my dad).
	12:10pm tim from washington: Alright! I love the efd vacation spoils shows! Hi efd and everybody!
	12:10pm Hoboken Jack: Hey McGroove and Pumpy. Sending healing vibes to my furry buddy Bagpipe!!
	12:10pm McGroovey: Well, this is a reasonable faithful cover. I had to go back and check and remind myself if this was the hit. No, it wasn't. But the album got as high as #37.
	12:12pm McGroovey: @Hoboken Jack I'm sending vibes AND positive mojo.
	12:12pm mariano: Didn't realize Leif Garrett had such deep... irations?
	12:12pm Chris Crash: Very much appreciate your record store reports! I mark them on the to-go google maps I use for food places.
	12:12pm tim from washington: Another surprising Leif Garrett is his cover of Smells Like teen Spirit with the Melvins. He sings the hell out of it.
	12:12pm efd: @mariano We're on to Smokie now!
	12:13pm Chop Scott: Sounding great EFD!
	12:13pm McGroovey: Never heard of Smokie. If I'd seen it, if have ignored it. But I like it.
	12:13pm mariano: Oh no, Handy, so sorry to hear about Bagpipe. Hey, Mr. Pumpy!
	12:13pm Mister Dobalina: Clicky star fav'd this one.
	12:14pm mariano: Ah, right you are, efd. No irations from Leif.
	12:14pm Andy M.: Hi EFD and 'FMU peeps. Just tuned in. The show sounds great!
	12:15pm ChukAmok: Damn, maybe it's time for another road trip to NOLA. @efd Did you hit up Domino Sound Record Shack when you were down there?
	12:15pm Figgsrock: Ah, the Tina track that lead to her comeback record deal!
	12:15pm Hubig Pie: LMF, where I purchased some Sidney Bichet 78's back in the day....
	12:15pm chresti: New Orleans has a Peaches?!
	12:16pm Beast of Boonton: Seventies teen heartthrob Leif Garrett made a rare appearance on stage over the weekend. pagesix.com...
	12:16pm tim from washington: Of course Tina Turner would tear this song up. Tina rules!
	12:16pm Rich in Washington: This is fantastic! Never heard of this album before!
	12:16pm poptone: thats the second mention of leif garrett for me today! pagesix.com...
	12:16pm efd: @chresti I think it might be the only one left
	12:16pm tim from washington: Who is b.e.f.?
	12:17pm poptone: looking forward to more NOLA crate digging tracks
	12:17pm Hubig Pie: Bechet dammit
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MaryWing show a casualty of the new lockdowns ? Catch me some efd Live instead of a week later ! Love&Rockets version probly my fave - but Ball of Confusion such a major tune ...everybody oughta do it.
	12:17pm Hopey Sockmonkey: British Electronic Foundation
	12:18pm βrian: Has 100% Whatever been locked out by the lockdown?
	12:18pm Hopey Sockmonkey: They were basically Heaven 17. That collection of singles is fantastic.
	12:18pm efd: @tim it's Martyn Ware and Ian Marsh, both from Heaven 17/Human League
	12:19pm mariano: OMG, Leif Garrett looks like an old Amish man now.
	12:19pm Hoboken Jack: I recently rewatched The Outsiders and I'd forgotten Leif Garrett has a fairly prominent role! Also, McGroove, offline I can give you some fb search tips.
	12:19pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Heya EFMFD!!! Hey Funkateers!
	12:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, mariano, Jack, Handy, Tim, Chop, Carmichael, Rev Rab...and everyone else!
	12:20pm tim from washington: I had no idea there was a Heaven 17/Human League/Tina Turner connection. I'd like to hear Tina destroy Fascist Groove Thang.
	12:20pm mariano: Stay golden, HoboJack!
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mr. P. Hey there, Drummer Stream refugees. I hope our Mary is OK!
	12:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, efd and funkdavients!
	12:21pm drr: Nothing gold can stay.
	12:21pm tim from washington: Hey Mr Pumpy!
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think Leif looks kewler now. I'd still take his 70s hair tho...
	12:21pm Mary Wing: Yes, I am a casualty of the new station lockdown, RevRab and Brian. Will have a pre-recorded show for next week but couldn't pull one together last night. But hey, I get to listen to this show for a change--sounding great as usual, EFD!!
	12:21pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, please give Bagpipe a few scratches behind the ears for me. Wishing him a speedy recovery and good news overall.
	12:21pm McGroovey: OK. I just googled Smokie. If I saw it, I'd say "Hmmmmm", and pick it up and turn it over and say "Hmmmmm....Chinn, Chapman...Hmmmmm". Then, if it's 50¢, it would go in the "Yes" pile. If it's $20, "No" pile. $2? "Probably" pile. $5? "Depends" pile.
	12:22pm βrian: Mary, will you do a lockdown throw-down?
	12:22pm drr: Is NYC/NJ in general locking back down, or just the station?
	12:22pm mariano: Hey, drr! Ooh, a celebrity cameo from Mary, nice!
	12:22pm courtneynoir: EFD means halfway through the week and halfway through the work day .... I can do this
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo MaryWing ! We all together for Xmas after all gawdblessus...
	12:23pm drr: Hi, Mariano. Think we'll get another tornado later?
	12:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ding!
	12:23pm Figgsrock: @courtneynoir--that is an excellent way to look at it.
	12:24pm efd: It is Tornado Wednesday, isn't it
	12:24pm drr: @efd: starting to feel that way.
	12:24pm tim from washington: Wow! Bill Quateman is new to me. I thought it was Terry Reid at first.
	12:24pm Crosby in KC: Good afternoon, Evan and all
	12:24pm drr: beautiful right now but supposed to get ugly later on up in the day
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always saw the efd show that way - the midweek (re)treat. Middle of the day too - hm!
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: Good afternoon from my lunchbreak in Dallas! EFD! Handy! Tim! McG! RevRab!MrP! Anyone else on a 100" ethernet leash or cone of shame!
	12:25pm courtneynoir: Got a tornader or two in Nebraska last night. The temp dropped from an unusual April 90 degrees down to like 59 degrees in about 40 minutes.
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: Not sure that the lack of trees would directly force relocation to the cities, but Smokey Bear can do what Smokey Bear does. prof.fuzz!
	12:26pm courtneynoir: and now it's 32 degrees today. Harumph.
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: Do these ditties ever get into photosynthesis, or is all about what we can do with dead trees?
	12:26pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): smokey the bear on the wheels of steel!
	12:26pm Chris Crash: Ehhhhhhh Smoky doesn't sound enough like a talking bear.
	12:26pm karlward: Waiting for Chong to come on and talk about what trees mean to him
	12:27pm Mr. Pumpy: prof-fuzz! TREES EVERYWHERE!
	12:27pm βrian: Ash borers eat bats.
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: Hey there, Mary Wing!
	12:27pm nathan: enough propaganda from Big Tree!
	12:27pm tim from washington: Whoa - my hair just feathered with the opening notes on this power popper.
	12:28pm egould: I think they were already using plexi backboards by the tome Bill Walton was a pro. I think referencing wood court flooring would be more apt.
	12:28pm B R M: I thought I had a record store problem! ❤️
	12:28pm mariano: drr: Oh no, another one? Yeesh.
	12:28pm drr: karlward: that would be great. A fun thing we have in new Orleans is radio commercials for a bike shop done by a FAKE Cheech and Chong.
	12:28pm vinylmonkee: Now I can properly picture Joe Joe Weekend rocking out
	12:29pm karlward: Joe Joe Weekend is not your Joe Average
	12:29pm mariano: courtneynoir: When I lived in Omaha, the latest blizzard I saw was on April 20.
	12:29pm drr: I learned a bit about Joe Joe from his FB page. There were some pics of him hanging out with (I think) Mike Viola?
	12:29pm prof.fuzz: isn't Joe Joe Long Weekend a pr0n star in NOLA?
	12:30pm morphe': EFD !!! and all .. Must do some Madrid erreands es Semanana Santa = all small shops closed Holy Thursday Dead Jesus Friday => Easter Sunday Watch yer back >>> Jesus walks into a hotel puts 3 nails on the table and says CAN YA PUT ME UP FOR THE NIGHT.. In a James Joyce piece he wrote about IRNI = in AARAMAIC = JESUS KING OF THE JEWS [MAY BE NO ??} But Joyce wrote INRI = "IRON NAILS RUN IN " YA NEED A A GOOD IRISH PERSON TO REALLY TAKE THE PISS OUT OF ROME .. PSS.. CURRENT POPE IS THE BEST POPE IN 70 YEARS .. PSSSS. I AM EX - CATHOLIC
	12:30pm Crosby in KC: @courtneynoir - same in KC. No tornado but 35mph winds, 84 degrees yesterday, thunderstorms last night and 42 degrees and overcast today
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think I need caffeine & even aspirin today before I can get to speed with feelgood 70s ...let's see how quick I get in gear ...UpperCrust ! :D
	12:31pm McGroovey: Looking at the cover on Discogs, I would totally dismiss that Why on Earth record unless I knew someone in the band. But I like the song. The principals went on the make records as Stonewall/Weekend, whom I'd also dismissed based on their covers alone, perhaps unjustly.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Looks like we're two days behind you, courtneynoir.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thot it was I'm Nailed Right In ...Baptist interpretation maybe...
	12:32pm Sean Fahrrad: What is this bed music?
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Sean: Lordz of Brooklyn, "Saturday Nite Fever."
	12:33pm mariano: Thanks for the shoutout! Come back and see us sometime.
	12:34pm ¿¡: Hey now EFD. I don't always chime in, but I am today; And enjoying the selected tunes.
	12:34pm G: Yes, the lunch was great -- super workbusy today, so not too chatty. :-(
	12:34pm Chris Crash: Savak!! Very stoked to hear this set, I missed their record release show.
	12:36pm tim from washington: Oh wow! I can't wait to hear 80s Saints. Eagerly waiting.
	12:36pm PKNY: Heading to NOLA on Friday, looking forward to eating my way over to Euclid Records from the French Quarter!
	12:37pm McGroovey: www.discogs.com...
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: Peaches.
	12:38pm Mr. Pumpy: The Upper Crust are such a great live band.
	12:39pm Sean Fahrrad: @Handy Haversack: Thank you!
	12:39pm drr: As a long-time N.O. resident, I can confidently say of Peaches Records that I have no idea what their deal is.
	12:39pm PKNY: I went to Peaches the last time I was in NOLA, it's an old Woolworths they converted into a record store!
	12:39pm Chris Crash: Spelling it "Joe Joe" instead of Jojo feels so perverse and I can't put my finger on why.
	12:39pm McGroovey: Peaches used to be in the French Quarter, and it was the local unit of the Peaches chain. I don't know how the current store ended up with the name when the chain folded. Joe Joe Weekend: www.discogs.com...
	12:40pm chresti: I pass Smokey the Bear on my way to work in Griffith Park!
	12:40pm drr: PKNY/McG: that Woolworth's was an antioue store until a few years ago. Still had the lunch counter; does it now?
	12:40pm courtneynoir: @Chris Crash - yet I know exactly what you mean
	12:41pm Joe McG: @efd: I could've sworn that was Lou Rawls singing about those trees in sports, but maybe I'm crazy!
	12:41pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hello efd. Sounding great!!!! Thank you
	12:41pm Carmichael: Smokie's great hit was (Livin' Next Door to) Alice.
	12:42pm PKNY: @drr - I posted the following pic on IG from the Peaches/Woolworths lunch counter, wasn't functional at the time www.instagram.com...
	12:42pm Mister Dobalina: Long set...good set.
	12:44pm PKNY: @efd - can you confirm/deny that the lunch counter at Peaches is functional?
	12:44pm chresti: Smokey says: "High fire danger!" today
	12:45pm chresti: I like the band name "The Upper Crust"
	12:45pm efd: @PKNY it is preserved, but not a functioning lunch counter when I was there
	12:46pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I saw the Upper Crust at Brownie's a zillion years ago. Miss that place.
	12:46pm McGroovey: The old Peaches was in the tourist corridor on N.Peters or Decatur St. It was a normal chain record store. Then, one time I went by the old store, and it looked more ragged, and I went in and they weren't selling just overpriced new CDs. They were also selling overpriced used records. Then, the next time I was in New Orleans, they'd moved to the current location on Magazine St, which was conveniently just around the corner from the apartment my wife and her sister owned (inherited from their aunt). Except that there really wasn't much I wanted to buy at the new Peaches.
	12:47pm chresti: There was a Peaches on Hollywood Blvd, when I first moved here in '76.
	12:48pm efd: how does everything sound out there? It seems a little bass-y in my headphones, but that might just be my headphones
	12:48pm ChukAmok: @3M Likewise. Saw some great shows at Brownies.
	12:49pm egould: Sounds good. Especially this Keeley.
	12:50pm mariano: Sounds fine on my speakers, efd.
	12:51pm McGroovey: I'm listening on a little mono radio in my bedroom, so WFMU sounds like it always sounds. Do I need to go out on the living room and turn on the HiFi and give a full stereo report?
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Brownies was crucial during my college years.
	12:51pm Alvy Singer: When I worked at Caroline Records in the early 90's, Kim Fowley, who was living in New Orleans at the time , would call up screaming that he was at the Tower Records in the French Quarter and that there wasn't one damn record of his in the racks. This routine went on for months with him.
	12:51pm tim from washington: efd - sounding fantastic! I don't know if it is bass heavy but I prefer bass up and treble medium.
	12:51pm PaulRobeson1920: Nice show today EFD!!!hi ya’ll
	12:52pm McGroovey: This Franz Ferdinand reminds me a bit of XTC.
	12:52pm Robm: Sounds great to me EFD
	12:52pm drr: PKNY: you have a new Instagram follower. My favorite live Upper Crust live moment: They were ending their show (at Tramps) and a lot of people were yelling for Rickshaw Boy. Lord B said "Oh, do i gather you peasants would like to hear Rickshaw Boy?" Screams of approval. "Well we shan't play it, then." And they didn't.
	12:53pm tim from washington: @Alvy - ha! Kim Fowley and Sky Saxon got into a shoving match in front of my friends' band while they were playing. Seems like there was always spectacle around Fowley.
	12:54pm clarke: howdy EFD and ya'll from humid new orleans!! been listening, AND much vinyl envy going on.
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: hey clarke, y'got a shout-out!
	12:55pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): hmmm... very post-Hole.
	12:55pm clarke: unfortunately, i have ANOTHER luncheon date with buddies, today. ha ha. gotta head out soon, but will have the app in the car, at least. not at Franky & Johnnie's, tho.
	12:55pm TDK60: Hi DJ EFD. Happy sunny day.
	12:56pm prof.fuzz: yeah! the new vintage crop is good stuff!
	12:57pm mariano: drr: Looks like I picked the right time to start my hurricane/post-hurricane prep. Just ordered myself a 720KWh power station with solar panels, a 12V mini-fridge/freezer, and I'm working on a couple of DIY ACs made with styrofoam coolers, battery-powered vent fans, elbow ducts, and ice packs. Hey, clarke!
	12:58pm Planet Tyler: Love Vintage Crop!
	12:58pm radioronan: I thought Peaches moved into the old Tower space for a bit..always overpriced imo..
	12:58pm clarke: MP!!! wow, yer preppin'!!!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - did Fowley - yerknow - Push Too Hard...
	12:59pm tim from washington: Why does so much excellent music come from Australia?
	12:59pm clarke: Peaches is in the old woolworth's on mag near napoleon. there was a peaches in tower space for a hot minute, there.
	1:00pm tim from washington: @rrn - hahaha! Good one! From the reports I got it was an aggressively passive pushing match.
	1:01pm Hubig Pie: What occupies the Virgin rec. space ? I been away a few years now.
	1:02pm clarke: Urban Outfitters - but that may have gone down, too.
	1:02pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Mariano, Clarke, Figgsrock! Loving the show as always though the background color is a clicky star nightmare, haha.
	1:02pm chresti: Used to see Fowley a lot around Hollywood, way back when.
	1:03pm clarke: jaaack!! fowley "lived" in new orleans for a while in the 00's. that ain't no way to live.
	1:04pm tim from washington: I hope the drummer is set up in efd's bathroom.
	1:04pm TDK60: WFMU DJs are back home again? I'm behind the latest updates.
	1:04pm tim from washington: @chresti - for some reason I picture Kim Fowley to be the real life Z-Man from Beneath the Valley of the Dolls.
	1:05pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wait, what happened at The Mother Ship?
	1:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @TDK60: Me too. ???
	1:05pm efd: @TDK60 just as of today, for the next two weeks
	1:05pm clarke: must take off in a sec, lads. will listen in the car as long as i can. @tim - z-man was less sleazy.
	1:05pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @EFD: Is it a COVID thing or a maintenance thing?
	1:06pm Hubig Pie: Chain stores come and go, Franky & Johnnie's stays put thru it all
	1:06pm efd: see ya, clarke!
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: Sounding good!
	1:08pm chresti: @tim, he seemed a like Frankenstein wearing a red leather sport coat.
	1:08pm Alvy Singer: @EFD...These guys are sounding great.
	1:09pm efd: @Listener Jonny It's a COVID thing - a few folks got it recently (none seriously afaik) so we're trying to limit contact at the station for a couple of weeks.
	1:09pm tim from washington: Great set! It feels good to hear live bands on FMU again.
	1:09pm Mike Sin: Man, impressive job all around... EFD going live from the FunkHaus and sounding seamless, and now this live set engineered and mixed so precisely... All sounds great!
	1:10pm drr: Had one Fowley encounter, he was so ghoulishly creepy. It was like, has nobody told you this isn't how we do things now? It was pretty amusing.
	1:10pm efd: thanks Mike!
	1:11pm chresti: What Mike Sin said- sounding good, efd!
	1:11pm ¿¡: Hey chresti: I just want to thank you for the kind words you said about me on the old codger show. I was confused and didn't understand why RRN63 would accuse me of such a thing. He never came across as anyone who would be malicious, so I just figured he was dealing with some problems of his own. I know that he's a good Joe and probably didn't mean what he said. Anyway, thanks again.
	1:12pm TDK60: I'm so glad, I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad that WFMU was able to get home equipment for the pandemic. The show must and does go on.
	1:12pm efd: @chresti Thanks!
	1:14pm chresti: Hey ¿¡, yeah he must've got rattled 'bout something.
	1:15pm tim from washington: efd - were you an Obits fan?
	1:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sounding good. Nice engineering work, Michael!
	1:17pm pollypinocle: This Savak set is sounding great! So glad to be able to catch them live last week.
	1:17pm -жеи: Sounding great EFD! The lockdown is a COVID thing. We've had two small outbreaks in just three weeks, after not having any outbreaks at the station for over two years. We have a lot of young DJs who dont feel like dealing with long COVID and older, immunocompromised, pre-existing condition DJs who dont want to be put at risk of serious illness
	1:17pm Stevel: TDK60: Amen, and great thanks to the donor who made it possible! Very strong and impactful gift.
	1:18pm Stevel: Ken: Great work! Thanks for keeping everyone as safe as possible.
	1:18pm chresti: Hi Mary Wing up there, glad you're okay!
	1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ ¿¡ : Apologize to characterize you as a Troll if that's not just. Anyway - that's the DJ / Moderator's call. Felt you - & another (?) were propagating baseless, unsupportable & dangerous antivaxx / pandemic propaganda. & I countered it. I also regret distracting from the Entertainment - which shouldn't happen. Trolls shouldn't be fed anyhow - something I'm vulnerable to...
	1:19pm efd: @tim perhaps this link will answer your question: wfmu.org...
	1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: efd & Savak & FMU bringing it.
	1:20pm efd: btw, confirming that this is indeed SAVAK's third live appearance on my show!
	1:20pm efd: and 100 points for rhyming "crutchesses" with "duchesses"
	1:20pm βrian: I love that I can take my shirt off at work, and nobody cares.
	1:21pm Handy Haversack: All wise and sensible, Ken. Hope all are recovering swiftly.
	1:21pm drr: yeah, SAVAK is really sounding great on this recording. I feel like I've only heard them live, on WFMU....do they have studio recordings?
	1:22pm efd: @drr They have plenty! The new album coming out on Friday is their fifth.
	1:23pm drr: Getting some Mission of Burma sonic palette vibes, but maybe you hear what you're listening for.
	1:23pm prof.fuzz: really diggin' the live savak!
	1:26pm tim from washington: oooh, thanks for the link efd! Also, didn't Sohrab recently donate his live show videos to a DC institution? Do I have that right? Man, this is good listening!
	1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MoB ! ...voice has me thinking Weller - & then RichardButler ...if comparison be the enemy of joy, that's all good stuff anyhow !...
	1:27pm efd: @tim You are correct: www.brooklynvegan.com...
	1:29pm tim from washington: Michael Jaworski has a golden ear. This set is perfectly mixed.
	1:32pm karlward: tim from washington: why did you do this to me?
	1:33pm mndave: @efd Fantastic set, and there's something special about hearing these new songs before the LP arrives in the mail (hopefully on Friday!)
	1:34pm tim from washington: @karlward - what did I do? what did I do?
	1:34pm milknpie: this SAVAK set rips.
	1:34pm karlward: Don't you ever tell me there is a trove of Fugazi live videos
	1:34pm efd: @mndave Glad you're enjoying it, and I'm sure you'll like the new album as well!
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes props Michael Jaworski ! Sounds perfect. Savak impress me as one of those gittar-bass-drums-vocals bands that do something intelligent & creative (& energetic & expressive) with some very basic forms / elements. Which honestly makes it feel like the World still has possibilities (should one be invested in such things)...
	1:34pm karlward: I have a job, a family, people expect me to do things other than watch Fugazi live videos
	1:34pm tim from washington: oh shit. sorry, karlward.
	1:35pm tim from washington: I like how Savak really stretches out in Set Apart. Reminds me of Dream Syndicate or Eddy Current.
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: karlward can't talk right now, Tim. He's at the video machine again.
	1:36pm karlward: I mean I was up to '92 already, now I have to go back to the beginning if I want to watch every Fugazi live show in order, you know, like a reasonable person
	1:36pm ¿¡: @RRN63: thanks rabbit Man, I knew there had to be an explanation! Just a simple case of mixup. And i as anyone can understand that a irritating situation can be impossible to ignore. well I'm glad that's cleared up,
	1:37pm drr: RevRabN63: yes, one of those tracks was almost like an homage to Psych Furs. Which is something I'm prepared for more of.
	1:37pm mndave: @RevRabbit They are excellent guys too, not that that should be a surprise; Sohrab emailed me directly apologizing for a couple-day delay on a t-shirt shipment in the worst early 2020 months of the pandemic in NYC. I wouldn't have cared if it took months, but it didn't and he sent a setlist on top of it!
	1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Fan. ✔︎
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Ha, well, I know exactly where Savak's Bandcamp photo was taken!
	1:39pm efd: after they recorded the set Sohrab emailed me to say the set came out to about 43 minutes and was that too long and did I want them to cut anything, and I said NO absolutely not!
	1:40pm Figgsrock: EFD--is this the longest set Savak has done on your show? 43 minutes is like getting a whole live album!
	1:40pm prof.fuzz: good call EFD
	1:40pm prof.fuzz: gotta go teach the kids all about the opium wars... stay well, y'all!
	1:41pm efd: @Figgsrock You'll have to check efdGraphs or efd Prospectus for that information.
	1:41pm efd: but yeah, it probably is
	1:42pm Figgsrock: @EFD--I'll reach out to Jay Jaffe to handle it.
	1:42pm tim from washington: Teach 'em good, prof!
	1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Generous.
	1:42pm prof.fuzz: opium=bad wars=bad opium wars=bad
	1:43pm efd: @Figgsrock good call
	1:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm diggin' this. The guy singing kind of reminds me of the guy in The Hold Steady.
	1:43pm efd: checks out, @prof.fuzz
	1:44pm Handy Haversack: How the heck does one get tix for a show at The PIT?
	1:45pm efd: I'm not familiar at all with that venue
	1:47pm tim from washington: You said it, efd! That was fantastic!
	1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brits in China - the original Nixon stye 'War On Drugs' strategy ?
	1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 👏
	1:48pm Handy Haversack: I can't find any way at all! The Song Kick page leads back to itself. The only web presence for the venue seems to be Instagram? I'd get tix for Savak/UW and hope for the best, but I can't even figure out how! Great set, though!
	1:53pm tim from washington: Alright, I've turned my headphones up to Belock stun level for this Saints set!
	1:53pm slocker: Maybe it's a sign, don't attempt to type live on-air!
	1:53pm efd: sometimes it can't be helped!
	1:54pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): When I grow up, I want to be Joe Joe Weekend
	1:55pm βrian: "Il n'ya aucune nica la pareille que Monica."
	1:55pm Hubig Pie: I gettin' such a Stooges vibe from this
	1:56pm Frank Zaatar: This is the first time I've heard Savak and it was a great set. It's high time the States had its own Gang of Four.
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speaking of being relevant with simple forms.
	1:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Know your product…
	1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Punk horns...
	1:59pm tim from washington: This Perfect Day is THEEEEEEE best!
	2:00pm Handy Haversack: Well, if anyone else figures out how to find tix to Savak/Upper Wilds in BK, let a Handy know.
	2:01pm tim from washington: Whoever doesn't like rock'n'roll can kiss my ass!
	2:02pm Hughie Considine: I was stone in love from the get-go with All Fool's Day and still am.
	2:02pm PaulRobeson1920: Mets 1 Phillies 0 Top of the 3rd
	2:03pm efd: @PaulRobeson1920 Now do Red Sox-Detroit
	2:03pm efd: @Hughie it is a superb album
	2:03pm PaulRobeson1920: @efd only have the met game on here!!! !
	2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Steeped in that incendiary 1st album - a sad way to get a clearer fix on the others.
	2:04pm PaulRobeson1920: Big home run deep center moments ago
	2:04pm drr: tvt was such a weird label.
	2:05pm joe mulligan: thats right @Hughie Considine.. Chris Bailey's voice was a big part of me coming of age, listening to college radio in the mid-to-late 80s
	2:06pm Figgsrock: Red Sox-Tigers tied at 1 in bottom of the third.
	2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fantastic Rawk voice.
	2:06pm drr: looking at their discogs page....TVT had early Nine Inch Nails, but also Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince??
	2:07pm Figgsrock: And for those in NYC, the suspect in yesterday's attack is custody. NBC is reporting that he was picked up at St. Marks and 1st ave as part of a stabbing.
	2:07pm Hughie Considine: Right there with you, @Joe. And no one sounded anything like Chris Bailey.
	2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a little like young Van Morrison's...
	2:09pm tim from washington: The inductees for 2022's Library of Congress National Recording Registry just came out: newsroom.loc.gov... Pretty good list except for J@#%ney.
	2:09pm tim from washington: Spot on, RRN!
	2:10pm joe mulligan: YES @Hughie and @Rev Rabbit!! thanks for this set EFD it is super nostalgic for me as I might not have heard these songs since high school and college
	2:10pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So did The Saints just get ignored by radio here? I never heard of them until Springsteen covered "Just Like Fire Would" when they toured Australia. Then I was like...what the heck is this and why haven't I heard it before dammit!!!
	2:11pm Hughie Considine: Ok, pretty good work, Library of Congress, but seriously, Franklin D. Roosevelt: Complete Presidential Speeches (1933-1945)? What about the early stuff?
	2:13pm Figgsrock: This was The Saints album I heard first--my college station had "Grain of Sand" in heavy for a while. I didn't hear "I'm Stranded" until a couple years later I think.
	2:14pm tim from washington: My thoughts exactly, Hughie. Any FDR speech after '22 is pandering pop fluff.
	2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fortunate to have an older sibling very dedicated to Rawk who spoonfed me masses of stuff. Presented the 1st Saints album as - here's guys from Australia, where the conservatives are especially offended by longhair - & they're totally naturally Punk totally in isolation from any other Scene...
	2:15pm Hughie Considine: I was hoping for this one, @EFD
	2:15pm efd: as a regular listener to WHTG on the Jersey Shore in the late '80s I was fortunate to hear a healthy selection of songs from these two albums.
	2:15pm joe mulligan: @WoodsOfNH it's so weird they played the Saints so much in the 80s (at least in the Philly college radio stations) then they dropped off the charts somehow. anyway, go Phils today!
	2:15pm efd: ...most of which I've just played for you!
	2:16pm Hughie Considine: haha, @tim -- the early stuff was EDGY man...
	2:16pm Ant Fart: I ❤️ this station
	2:17pm johnk77: back in those before times 1977->late 80s key australian rock bands having an impact in north america outside of college radio little river band & midnight oil great work selecter
	2:17pm joe mulligan: yes EFD these are all the good ones, thank you!!! for me back then it was WKDU Drexel, WXPN UPenn, and also WXDR University of Delaware
	2:17pm efd: I forgot how much I love "Ghost Ships." Outstanding choice by me.
	2:18pm drr: I recently bought a copy of "Free Dirt" by Australia's Died Pretty, which I thought was about the best record ever when it came out. I don't think so anymore but I found a lot to like in it.
	2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Such satisfying trax.
	2:19pm joe mulligan: @johnk77 also the Lime Spiders rocked my world back then
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HoodooGurus later...
	2:21pm tim from washington: Thanks for the 80s Saints songs, efd.
	2:21pm _Ike_: I thought the U of DE station was WVUD, call letters that are... somewhat unfortunate. Was it previously WXDR? When I had a car, I used to hear WKDU occasionally when driving through Philly and liked it in the 90s and 00s. WXPN was usually kind of boring though.
	2:21pm Stevel: Looking forward to reviewing this set in the archives, as I've been in and out. Will any other djs have Saints/Chris Bailey tributes as comprehensive as efd and Joe B.?
	2:23pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: I presume lockdown mode is the reason for some reruns of late-night shows recently instead of fill-ins (??).
	2:23pm joe mulligan: @_Ike_ you are correct sir! I think they made the call sign change in the 90s. I got tons of free concert tickets from WKDU back then.. WXPN was actually more exiting in the 80s if you caught the right shows
	2:23pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @joe mulligan: I can't remember if college radio in Maine (orono) played them. I graduated in 84, though at the time I was more interested in things like The Clash. Still, I would have liked them.
	2:25pm David Shortell: It makes sense that the Saints covered the Easybeats. I know little of that other early Aussie rock group, the Missing Links, whose "Wild About You" the Saints covered.
	2:25pm johnk77: hoodoo gurus correct started college/alternative then mtv
	2:26pm joe mulligan: @WoodsOfNH that must have been some good times up that part of the northeast to be in college
	2:26pm PaulRobeson1920: Mets lead 2-0 @Philly Top of the 4th Bases loaded, 1 out
	2:28pm Figgsrock: Oh no, now I'm going to have to listen to my Little River Band vinyl again after this show EFD!!!!
	2:28pm tim from washington: Does this sample count as OzCon?
	2:29pm drr: Is this a sample from "Reminiscing"?
	2:29pm efd: @tim Absolutely!
	2:29pm efd: @drr Absolutely!
	2:30pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @joe mulligan: For a "middle of nowhere" locale, we got a surprisingly wide array of musicians up here: B-52s, Chuck Berry, David Johansen, JB Hutto, Johnny Copeland, J. Geils, Bill Chinnock (by way of E-Street)
	2:30pm PaulRobeson1920: Hit by pitch Mets lead 3-0
	2:33pm βrian: If it weren't for the Mets, New Yorkers would have no team to root for.
	2:33pm Handy Haversack: Can just about picture the poster for the eighties movie this should be on the soundtrack of.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: I would describe myself as a Mets well wisher. In that I wish them no specific ill. Until they play the Yankees.
	2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah 'Selene' had me thinking Stevie ...liked it anyway ! :D ...
	2:36pm Stevel: Well this is pretty fucking cool!
	2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would you say ? ( - spastic Gittarhead here...) - like Ringo this shows great skill in serving the Song...
	2:38pm βrian: When I was growing up, we were pretty agnostic about ball teams. If the home team wasn't playing, we could root for most anybody else. But the Yankees were like KAOS, "the international organization of evil".
	2:39pm efd: that's what I get for playing something from Google's YouTube when I don't usually do that. I need to leave that to the experts like ken!
	2:39pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Olivia! I love this record.
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: Word, Woods!
	2:41pm tim from washington: Olivia!!!!!!!
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: I'd love for there to be a reason for kids to hate the Yankees again. But they refuse to spend any money just like all the other craven MLB teams right now.
	2:42pm -жеи: Hi Evan
	2:42pm karlward: When did people stop hating the Yankees?
	2:43pm Handy Haversack: I guess what's most shocking about that album is that Olivia is eighty-eight years old! I would not have thought so.
	2:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Ken: Are you back to wearing the hazmat suit?
	2:44pm Handy Haversack: Still sounds great, though!
	2:44pm tim from washington: It wasn't until I lived in Illinois that I learned that Cubs/White Sox fandom boiled down to class warfare. The White Sox are the Peoples team and the Cubs are the team for rich a-holes. Is that the same for the Mets and Yankees?
	2:45pm βrian: I suppose I would like the Yankees — if I were a hedge fund manager, say …
	2:45pm Handy Haversack: Only in the mythopoeic imaginary of some Met fans and LOTS of overly romantic old sportswriters, tim.
	2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do not care for 70sChartMac - & still thot was hella impressive drumming. Yay isolated trax.
	2:47pm βrian: On the other hand, Steve Goodman was a Cubs fan.
	2:47pm efd: hi Ken
	2:47pm johnk77: yankees outside the bronx have a long run as villians resulting in boffo box office
	2:48pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My dad was a Yankees fan. Used to take the train down from CT to see games.
	2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh you 12 year olds & your sportsball caps ...you should be like me, into profound things like Godzilla & morally unsullied fields like the RawkMusics...
	2:50pm Hoboken Jack: Mets Schmets, Kershaw is perfect through 6.
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for the heads-up, Jack. That's what the EAS should be for!
	2:53pm Carmichael: I haven't paid attention to baseball since the last strike and ensuing roid rage era. Now the NFL, that's another story. Also Premier League footie ...
	2:53pm Carmichael: Thought this might be the Ting Tings at 1st listen.
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Aaaaaand they pulled him. April!
	2:54pm duluoz: Lifelong Cubs fan...refuse to watch/root for team as new owners single-handedly tore down a neighborhood to gentrify it. little regard for the team nor the fans. Still can't bring myself to root for the Sox, though I do respect the org and hiring of Latino managers for a predominantly Latino team as well as affordable tix for the fans.
	2:54pm drr: everybody saw the crazy beanball from yesterday's Nats-Braves game?
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Wait, I was wrong, sorry. ESPN was confusulating me.
	2:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I used to watch a ton of baseball, so much so that my wife used to joke about being a "baseball widow." Then for some reason I started to dislike competition and stopped watching most sports.
	2:55pm radioronan: Thanks, Evan!
	2:56pm tim from washington: @RRN - you'll be pleased to know that I was a baseball fanatic until about age 12 when I converted to the church of rock'n'roll. I blame MAD, big-time wrestling and Three Stooges re-runs as my gateway drugs to rock'n'roll.
	2:56pm Handy Haversack: efd, for what it's worth, the embedded "bandcamp" link for dyan valdés goes to today's playlist. Also: thanks! Great show and excellent live set. And tribute. It had it all! If anyone figures out how to get tix to Savak in BK, I'm all ears. Later on, funksters!
	2:56pm tim from washington: Thanks, efd! The show sounded great today. Thanks for the SAVAK too!
	2:57pm drr: Mad is responsible for so much of my attitude. Also Daffy Duck.
	2:57pm roBert beLowe: Hi all. Great show as always, Evan! I caught the first night of the Hitmakers tour. What a trio!!! I hope to see Bob Bert someday...
	2:57pm chresti: Thanks EFD!
	2:57pm Hughie Considine: What a fine, fine show - thanks, efd!
	2:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks EFD!!
	2:58pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Excellent homebrewed show today!
	2:58pm PaulRobeson1920: Great show EFD
	2:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, efd. Good to see that the 100' ethernet cable still provides high fidelity sound.
	2:59pm drr: Great show. Gonna get a SAVAK record.
	3:00pm olivia: Miss ya EFD! Thanks for playing Olivia 88!!
	3:00pm egould: Thanks efd!
	3:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ efd ! ~

Listener comments!
	12:00pm Harry Corvair: @efd, many thanks for the Sparks set you played a couple weeks ago. Downloaded the show and listened to it probably once a day since, sometimes more. Some righteous and sublime tunes. Was not especially familiar with Sparks, grateful for the introduction.
	12:00pm Yes: howdy
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: Return of the 100' Ethernet Cable! efd! All the other letters!
	12:01pm mariano: Hey, efd, long time no see! Good morning/afternoon, Handy, Yes, Harry!
	12:01pm efd: @Harry Thanks! There's more where that came from, if you're interested: wfmu.org... At least one song from every Sparks studio album.
	12:02pm Handy Haversack: efd, I thought there was something delightfully Sparksian about that Johnny Average Band track you played this morning. Good one! RIP, C. W.!
	12:02pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Hey, I was reading this bit in The New Yorker this morning about a guy attempting to canoe through the bodies of water in Central Park. Sounded like the big hazard was getting arrested.
	12:02pm Figgsrock: Ah yes, the follow up to Convoy, which I do not own.
	12:02pm morphe': Keep on Truckin'
	12:03pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greets!
	12:03pm Patrick S.: Hi EFD. Glad the station is playing it safe. DJ 100' Ethernet Cable for the save!
	12:03pm Hughie Considine: CW does something Sparks-ian in breaking the fourth wall and referring to "this song"
	12:04pm Handy Haversack: Joe McG did a C. W. McCall Tribute set (with capital letters, so a different take) last week: www.wfmu.org... For post-efd consumption, clearly.
	12:04pm -жеи: Studio Funk coming in Loudon Clear EFD!
	12:05pm Handy Haversack: Ah, nice the fruits of the NOLA trip! So wish I could have been a part of that luncheon!
	12:05pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and others. Looking forward to some funky funky tunes.
	12:05pm Chris Crash: Hello Mr. Funk!
	12:06pm efd: thank you ken!
	12:06pm Rich in Washington: Greetings, EFD! Home DJin's fun, huh?. All your records are right there and you can wear pajamas.
	12:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD, Handy, 100 ft leash Bagpipe, everybody! TuneIn was briefly down but is back.
	12:07pm karlward: Euclid Records was a highlight of my last trip to NOLA
	12:08pm McGroovey: Yeah, I take a picture of my New Orleans haul as I'm packing up to come home. Since Facebook is basically un-searchable, and my photo archives are totally disorganized, I basically can't ever find those photos again, though.
	12:08pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack! Alas, BP is not roaming far. He had surgery yesterday to remove some tumors and skin tags and is feeling pretty punk still. And has the Hemorrhoid Pillow of Shame around his neck.
	12:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh good gawd, my high school girlfriend made me listen to Leif Garrett.
	12:08pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, efd and all the funksters! Groovin' tunes abound!
	12:09pm Carmichael: "Sooner or Later, Love is Gonna Get Ya ..." 🎵
	12:09pm luka: jump roping over the 100' ethernet cable to this leif garrett track
	12:09pm Mister Dobalina: The Funk is strong today.
	12:10pm karlward: One thing I love about NOLA record stores: it is very easy to find local music in them, which is different than pretty much every record store everywhere
	12:10pm drr: Hello from New Orleans! Latest Euclid find: a LP by Thermos Greenwood, the first rock band I ever saw play live (about 1975, at a Georgia Tech homecoming pep rally with my dad).
	12:10pm tim from washington: Alright! I love the efd vacation spoils shows! Hi efd and everybody!
	12:10pm Hoboken Jack: Hey McGroove and Pumpy. Sending healing vibes to my furry buddy Bagpipe!!
	12:10pm McGroovey: Well, this is a reasonable faithful cover. I had to go back and check and remind myself if this was the hit. No, it wasn't. But the album got as high as #37.
	12:12pm McGroovey: @Hoboken Jack I'm sending vibes AND positive mojo.
	12:12pm mariano: Didn't realize Leif Garrett had such deep... irations?
	12:12pm Chris Crash: Very much appreciate your record store reports! I mark them on the to-go google maps I use for food places.
	12:12pm tim from washington: Another surprising Leif Garrett is his cover of Smells Like teen Spirit with the Melvins. He sings the hell out of it.
	12:12pm efd: @mariano We're on to Smokie now!
	12:13pm Chop Scott: Sounding great EFD!
	12:13pm McGroovey: Never heard of Smokie. If I'd seen it, if have ignored it. But I like it.
	12:13pm mariano: Oh no, Handy, so sorry to hear about Bagpipe. Hey, Mr. Pumpy!
	12:13pm Mister Dobalina: Clicky star fav'd this one.
	12:14pm mariano: Ah, right you are, efd. No irations from Leif.
	12:14pm Andy M.: Hi EFD and 'FMU peeps. Just tuned in. The show sounds great!
	12:15pm ChukAmok: Damn, maybe it's time for another road trip to NOLA. @efd Did you hit up Domino Sound Record Shack when you were down there?
	12:15pm Figgsrock: Ah, the Tina track that lead to her comeback record deal!
	12:15pm Hubig Pie: LMF, where I purchased some Sidney Bichet 78's back in the day....
	12:15pm chresti: New Orleans has a Peaches?!
	12:16pm Beast of Boonton: Seventies teen heartthrob Leif Garrett made a rare appearance on stage over the weekend. pagesix.com...
	12:16pm tim from washington: Of course Tina Turner would tear this song up. Tina rules!
	12:16pm Rich in Washington: This is fantastic! Never heard of this album before!
	12:16pm poptone: thats the second mention of leif garrett for me today! pagesix.com...
	12:16pm efd: @chresti I think it might be the only one left
	12:16pm tim from washington: Who is b.e.f.?
	12:17pm poptone: looking forward to more NOLA crate digging tracks
	12:17pm Hubig Pie: Bechet dammit
	12:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MaryWing show a casualty of the new lockdowns ? Catch me some efd Live instead of a week later ! Love&Rockets version probly my fave - but Ball of Confusion such a major tune ...everybody oughta do it.
	12:17pm Hopey Sockmonkey: British Electronic Foundation
	12:18pm βrian: Has 100% Whatever been locked out by the lockdown?
	12:18pm Hopey Sockmonkey: They were basically Heaven 17. That collection of singles is fantastic.
	12:18pm efd: @tim it's Martyn Ware and Ian Marsh, both from Heaven 17/Human League
	12:19pm mariano: OMG, Leif Garrett looks like an old Amish man now.
	12:19pm Hoboken Jack: I recently rewatched The Outsiders and I'd forgotten Leif Garrett has a fairly prominent role! Also, McGroove, offline I can give you some fb search tips.
	12:19pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Heya EFMFD!!! Hey Funkateers!
	12:20pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, mariano, Jack, Handy, Tim, Chop, Carmichael, Rev Rab...and everyone else!
	12:20pm tim from washington: I had no idea there was a Heaven 17/Human League/Tina Turner connection. I'd like to hear Tina destroy Fascist Groove Thang.
	12:20pm mariano: Stay golden, HoboJack!
	12:20pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mr. P. Hey there, Drummer Stream refugees. I hope our Mary is OK!
	12:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, efd and funkdavients!
	12:21pm drr: Nothing gold can stay.
	12:21pm tim from washington: Hey Mr Pumpy!
	12:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think Leif looks kewler now. I'd still take his 70s hair tho...
	12:21pm Mary Wing: Yes, I am a casualty of the new station lockdown, RevRab and Brian. Will have a pre-recorded show for next week but couldn't pull one together last night. But hey, I get to listen to this show for a change--sounding great as usual, EFD!!
	12:21pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, please give Bagpipe a few scratches behind the ears for me. Wishing him a speedy recovery and good news overall.
	12:21pm McGroovey: OK. I just googled Smokie. If I saw it, I'd say "Hmmmmm", and pick it up and turn it over and say "Hmmmmm....Chinn, Chapman...Hmmmmm". Then, if it's 50¢, it would go in the "Yes" pile. If it's $20, "No" pile. $2? "Probably" pile. $5? "Depends" pile.
	12:22pm βrian: Mary, will you do a lockdown throw-down?
	12:22pm drr: Is NYC/NJ in general locking back down, or just the station?
	12:22pm mariano: Hey, drr! Ooh, a celebrity cameo from Mary, nice!
	12:22pm courtneynoir: EFD means halfway through the week and halfway through the work day .... I can do this
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo MaryWing ! We all together for Xmas after all gawdblessus...
	12:23pm drr: Hi, Mariano. Think we'll get another tornado later?
	12:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ding!
	12:23pm Figgsrock: @courtneynoir--that is an excellent way to look at it.
	12:24pm efd: It is Tornado Wednesday, isn't it
	12:24pm drr: @efd: starting to feel that way.
	12:24pm tim from washington: Wow! Bill Quateman is new to me. I thought it was Terry Reid at first.
	12:24pm Crosby in KC: Good afternoon, Evan and all
	12:24pm drr: beautiful right now but supposed to get ugly later on up in the day
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always saw the efd show that way - the midweek (re)treat. Middle of the day too - hm!
	12:25pm prof.fuzz: Good afternoon from my lunchbreak in Dallas! EFD! Handy! Tim! McG! RevRab!MrP! Anyone else on a 100" ethernet leash or cone of shame!
	12:25pm courtneynoir: Got a tornader or two in Nebraska last night. The temp dropped from an unusual April 90 degrees down to like 59 degrees in about 40 minutes.
	12:26pm Handy Haversack: Not sure that the lack of trees would directly force relocation to the cities, but Smokey Bear can do what Smokey Bear does. prof.fuzz!
	12:26pm courtneynoir: and now it's 32 degrees today. Harumph.
	12:26pm Hughie Considine: Do these ditties ever get into photosynthesis, or is all about what we can do with dead trees?
	12:26pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): smokey the bear on the wheels of steel!
	12:26pm Chris Crash: Ehhhhhhh Smoky doesn't sound enough like a talking bear.
	12:26pm karlward: Waiting for Chong to come on and talk about what trees mean to him
	12:27pm Mr. Pumpy: prof-fuzz! TREES EVERYWHERE!
	12:27pm βrian: Ash borers eat bats.
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: Hey there, Mary Wing!
	12:27pm nathan: enough propaganda from Big Tree!
	12:27pm tim from washington: Whoa - my hair just feathered with the opening notes on this power popper.
	12:28pm egould: I think they were already using plexi backboards by the tome Bill Walton was a pro. I think referencing wood court flooring would be more apt.
	12:28pm B R M: I thought I had a record store problem! ❤️
	12:28pm mariano: drr: Oh no, another one? Yeesh.
	12:28pm drr: karlward: that would be great. A fun thing we have in new Orleans is radio commercials for a bike shop done by a FAKE Cheech and Chong.
	12:28pm vinylmonkee: Now I can properly picture Joe Joe Weekend rocking out
	12:29pm karlward: Joe Joe Weekend is not your Joe Average
	12:29pm mariano: courtneynoir: When I lived in Omaha, the latest blizzard I saw was on April 20.
	12:29pm drr: I learned a bit about Joe Joe from his FB page. There were some pics of him hanging out with (I think) Mike Viola?
	12:29pm prof.fuzz: isn't Joe Joe Long Weekend a pr0n star in NOLA?
	12:30pm morphe': EFD !!! and all .. Must do some Madrid erreands es Semanana Santa = all small shops closed Holy Thursday Dead Jesus Friday => Easter Sunday Watch yer back >>> Jesus walks into a hotel puts 3 nails on the table and says CAN YA PUT ME UP FOR THE NIGHT.. In a James Joyce piece he wrote about IRNI = in AARAMAIC = JESUS KING OF THE JEWS [MAY BE NO ??} But Joyce wrote INRI = "IRON NAILS RUN IN " YA NEED A A GOOD IRISH PERSON TO REALLY TAKE THE PISS OUT OF ROME .. PSS.. CURRENT POPE IS THE BEST POPE IN 70 YEARS .. PSSSS. I AM EX - CATHOLIC
	12:30pm Crosby in KC: @courtneynoir - same in KC. No tornado but 35mph winds, 84 degrees yesterday, thunderstorms last night and 42 degrees and overcast today
	12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think I need caffeine & even aspirin today before I can get to speed with feelgood 70s ...let's see how quick I get in gear ...UpperCrust ! :D
	12:31pm McGroovey: Looking at the cover on Discogs, I would totally dismiss that Why on Earth record unless I knew someone in the band. But I like the song. The principals went on the make records as Stonewall/Weekend, whom I'd also dismissed based on their covers alone, perhaps unjustly.
	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Looks like we're two days behind you, courtneynoir.
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thot it was I'm Nailed Right In ...Baptist interpretation maybe...
	12:32pm Sean Fahrrad: What is this bed music?
	12:33pm Handy Haversack: Sean: Lordz of Brooklyn, "Saturday Nite Fever."
	12:33pm mariano: Thanks for the shoutout! Come back and see us sometime.
	12:34pm ¿¡: Hey now EFD. I don't always chime in, but I am today; And enjoying the selected tunes.
	12:34pm G: Yes, the lunch was great -- super workbusy today, so not too chatty. :-(
	12:34pm Chris Crash: Savak!! Very stoked to hear this set, I missed their record release show.
	12:36pm tim from washington: Oh wow! I can't wait to hear 80s Saints. Eagerly waiting.
	12:36pm PKNY: Heading to NOLA on Friday, looking forward to eating my way over to Euclid Records from the French Quarter!
	12:37pm McGroovey: www.discogs.com...
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: Peaches.
	12:38pm Mr. Pumpy: The Upper Crust are such a great live band.
	12:39pm Sean Fahrrad: @Handy Haversack: Thank you!
	12:39pm drr: As a long-time N.O. resident, I can confidently say of Peaches Records that I have no idea what their deal is.
	12:39pm PKNY: I went to Peaches the last time I was in NOLA, it's an old Woolworths they converted into a record store!
	12:39pm Chris Crash: Spelling it "Joe Joe" instead of Jojo feels so perverse and I can't put my finger on why.
	12:39pm McGroovey: Peaches used to be in the French Quarter, and it was the local unit of the Peaches chain. I don't know how the current store ended up with the name when the chain folded. Joe Joe Weekend: www.discogs.com...
	12:40pm chresti: I pass Smokey the Bear on my way to work in Griffith Park!
	12:40pm drr: PKNY/McG: that Woolworth's was an antioue store until a few years ago. Still had the lunch counter; does it now?
	12:40pm courtneynoir: @Chris Crash - yet I know exactly what you mean
	12:41pm Joe McG: @efd: I could've sworn that was Lou Rawls singing about those trees in sports, but maybe I'm crazy!
	12:41pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hello efd. Sounding great!!!! Thank you
	12:41pm Carmichael: Smokie's great hit was (Livin' Next Door to) Alice.
	12:42pm PKNY: @drr - I posted the following pic on IG from the Peaches/Woolworths lunch counter, wasn't functional at the time www.instagram.com...
	12:42pm Mister Dobalina: Long set...good set.
	12:44pm PKNY: @efd - can you confirm/deny that the lunch counter at Peaches is functional?
	12:44pm chresti: Smokey says: "High fire danger!" today
	12:45pm chresti: I like the band name "The Upper Crust"
	12:45pm efd: @PKNY it is preserved, but not a functioning lunch counter when I was there
	12:46pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I saw the Upper Crust at Brownie's a zillion years ago. Miss that place.
	12:46pm McGroovey: The old Peaches was in the tourist corridor on N.Peters or Decatur St. It was a normal chain record store. Then, one time I went by the old store, and it looked more ragged, and I went in and they weren't selling just overpriced new CDs. They were also selling overpriced used records. Then, the next time I was in New Orleans, they'd moved to the current location on Magazine St, which was conveniently just around the corner from the apartment my wife and her sister owned (inherited from their aunt). Except that there really wasn't much I wanted to buy at the new Peaches.
	12:47pm chresti: There was a Peaches on Hollywood Blvd, when I first moved here in '76.
	12:48pm efd: how does everything sound out there? It seems a little bass-y in my headphones, but that might just be my headphones
	12:48pm ChukAmok: @3M Likewise. Saw some great shows at Brownies.
	12:49pm egould: Sounds good. Especially this Keeley.
	12:50pm mariano: Sounds fine on my speakers, efd.
	12:51pm McGroovey: I'm listening on a little mono radio in my bedroom, so WFMU sounds like it always sounds. Do I need to go out on the living room and turn on the HiFi and give a full stereo report?
	12:51pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Brownies was crucial during my college years.
	12:51pm Alvy Singer: When I worked at Caroline Records in the early 90's, Kim Fowley, who was living in New Orleans at the time , would call up screaming that he was at the Tower Records in the French Quarter and that there wasn't one damn record of his in the racks. This routine went on for months with him.
	12:51pm tim from washington: efd - sounding fantastic! I don't know if it is bass heavy but I prefer bass up and treble medium.
	12:51pm PaulRobeson1920: Nice show today EFD!!!hi ya’ll
	12:52pm McGroovey: This Franz Ferdinand reminds me a bit of XTC.
	12:52pm Robm: Sounds great to me EFD
	12:52pm drr: PKNY: you have a new Instagram follower. My favorite live Upper Crust live moment: They were ending their show (at Tramps) and a lot of people were yelling for Rickshaw Boy. Lord B said "Oh, do i gather you peasants would like to hear Rickshaw Boy?" Screams of approval. "Well we shan't play it, then." And they didn't.
	12:53pm tim from washington: @Alvy - ha! Kim Fowley and Sky Saxon got into a shoving match in front of my friends' band while they were playing. Seems like there was always spectacle around Fowley.
	12:54pm clarke: howdy EFD and ya'll from humid new orleans!! been listening, AND much vinyl envy going on.
	12:54pm Hughie Considine: hey clarke, y'got a shout-out!
	12:55pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): hmmm... very post-Hole.
	12:55pm clarke: unfortunately, i have ANOTHER luncheon date with buddies, today. ha ha. gotta head out soon, but will have the app in the car, at least. not at Franky & Johnnie's, tho.
	12:55pm TDK60: Hi DJ EFD. Happy sunny day.
	12:56pm prof.fuzz: yeah! the new vintage crop is good stuff!
	12:57pm mariano: drr: Looks like I picked the right time to start my hurricane/post-hurricane prep. Just ordered myself a 720KWh power station with solar panels, a 12V mini-fridge/freezer, and I'm working on a couple of DIY ACs made with styrofoam coolers, battery-powered vent fans, elbow ducts, and ice packs. Hey, clarke!
	12:58pm Planet Tyler: Love Vintage Crop!
	12:58pm radioronan: I thought Peaches moved into the old Tower space for a bit..always overpriced imo..
	12:58pm clarke: MP!!! wow, yer preppin'!!!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - did Fowley - yerknow - Push Too Hard...
	12:59pm tim from washington: Why does so much excellent music come from Australia?
	12:59pm clarke: Peaches is in the old woolworth's on mag near napoleon. there was a peaches in tower space for a hot minute, there.
	1:00pm tim from washington: @rrn - hahaha! Good one! From the reports I got it was an aggressively passive pushing match.
	1:01pm Hubig Pie: What occupies the Virgin rec. space ? I been away a few years now.
	1:02pm clarke: Urban Outfitters - but that may have gone down, too.
	1:02pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Mariano, Clarke, Figgsrock! Loving the show as always though the background color is a clicky star nightmare, haha.
	1:02pm chresti: Used to see Fowley a lot around Hollywood, way back when.
	1:03pm clarke: jaaack!! fowley "lived" in new orleans for a while in the 00's. that ain't no way to live.
	1:04pm tim from washington: I hope the drummer is set up in efd's bathroom.
	1:04pm TDK60: WFMU DJs are back home again? I'm behind the latest updates.
	1:04pm tim from washington: @chresti - for some reason I picture Kim Fowley to be the real life Z-Man from Beneath the Valley of the Dolls.
	1:05pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wait, what happened at The Mother Ship?
	1:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @TDK60: Me too. ???
	1:05pm efd: @TDK60 just as of today, for the next two weeks
	1:05pm clarke: must take off in a sec, lads. will listen in the car as long as i can. @tim - z-man was less sleazy.
	1:05pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @EFD: Is it a COVID thing or a maintenance thing?
	1:06pm Hubig Pie: Chain stores come and go, Franky & Johnnie's stays put thru it all
	1:06pm efd: see ya, clarke!
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: Sounding good!
	1:08pm chresti: @tim, he seemed a like Frankenstein wearing a red leather sport coat.
	1:08pm Alvy Singer: @EFD...These guys are sounding great.
	1:09pm efd: @Listener Jonny It's a COVID thing - a few folks got it recently (none seriously afaik) so we're trying to limit contact at the station for a couple of weeks.
	1:09pm tim from washington: Great set! It feels good to hear live bands on FMU again.
	1:09pm Mike Sin: Man, impressive job all around... EFD going live from the FunkHaus and sounding seamless, and now this live set engineered and mixed so precisely... All sounds great!
	1:10pm drr: Had one Fowley encounter, he was so ghoulishly creepy. It was like, has nobody told you this isn't how we do things now? It was pretty amusing.
	1:10pm efd: thanks Mike!
	1:11pm chresti: What Mike Sin said- sounding good, efd!
	1:11pm ¿¡: Hey chresti: I just want to thank you for the kind words you said about me on the old codger show. I was confused and didn't understand why RRN63 would accuse me of such a thing. He never came across as anyone who would be malicious, so I just figured he was dealing with some problems of his own. I know that he's a good Joe and probably didn't mean what he said. Anyway, thanks again.
	1:12pm TDK60: I'm so glad, I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad that WFMU was able to get home equipment for the pandemic. The show must and does go on.
	1:12pm efd: @chresti Thanks!
	1:14pm chresti: Hey ¿¡, yeah he must've got rattled 'bout something.
	1:15pm tim from washington: efd - were you an Obits fan?
	1:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sounding good. Nice engineering work, Michael!
	1:17pm pollypinocle: This Savak set is sounding great! So glad to be able to catch them live last week.
	1:17pm -жеи: Sounding great EFD! The lockdown is a COVID thing. We've had two small outbreaks in just three weeks, after not having any outbreaks at the station for over two years. We have a lot of young DJs who dont feel like dealing with long COVID and older, immunocompromised, pre-existing condition DJs who dont want to be put at risk of serious illness
	1:17pm Stevel: TDK60: Amen, and great thanks to the donor who made it possible! Very strong and impactful gift.
	1:18pm Stevel: Ken: Great work! Thanks for keeping everyone as safe as possible.
	1:18pm chresti: Hi Mary Wing up there, glad you're okay!
	1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ ¿¡ : Apologize to characterize you as a Troll if that's not just. Anyway - that's the DJ / Moderator's call. Felt you - & another (?) were propagating baseless, unsupportable & dangerous antivaxx / pandemic propaganda. & I countered it. I also regret distracting from the Entertainment - which shouldn't happen. Trolls shouldn't be fed anyhow - something I'm vulnerable to...
	1:19pm efd: @tim perhaps this link will answer your question: wfmu.org...
	1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: efd & Savak & FMU bringing it.
	1:20pm efd: btw, confirming that this is indeed SAVAK's third live appearance on my show!
	1:20pm efd: and 100 points for rhyming "crutchesses" with "duchesses"
	1:20pm βrian: I love that I can take my shirt off at work, and nobody cares.
	1:21pm Handy Haversack: All wise and sensible, Ken. Hope all are recovering swiftly.
	1:21pm drr: yeah, SAVAK is really sounding great on this recording. I feel like I've only heard them live, on WFMU....do they have studio recordings?
	1:22pm efd: @drr They have plenty! The new album coming out on Friday is their fifth.
	1:23pm drr: Getting some Mission of Burma sonic palette vibes, but maybe you hear what you're listening for.
	1:23pm prof.fuzz: really diggin' the live savak!
	1:26pm tim from washington: oooh, thanks for the link efd! Also, didn't Sohrab recently donate his live show videos to a DC institution? Do I have that right? Man, this is good listening!
	1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MoB ! ...voice has me thinking Weller - & then RichardButler ...if comparison be the enemy of joy, that's all good stuff anyhow !...
	1:27pm efd: @tim You are correct: www.brooklynvegan.com...
	1:29pm tim from washington: Michael Jaworski has a golden ear. This set is perfectly mixed.
	1:32pm karlward: tim from washington: why did you do this to me?
	1:33pm mndave: @efd Fantastic set, and there's something special about hearing these new songs before the LP arrives in the mail (hopefully on Friday!)
	1:34pm tim from washington: @karlward - what did I do? what did I do?
	1:34pm milknpie: this SAVAK set rips.
	1:34pm karlward: Don't you ever tell me there is a trove of Fugazi live videos
	1:34pm efd: @mndave Glad you're enjoying it, and I'm sure you'll like the new album as well!
	1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes props Michael Jaworski ! Sounds perfect. Savak impress me as one of those gittar-bass-drums-vocals bands that do something intelligent & creative (& energetic & expressive) with some very basic forms / elements. Which honestly makes it feel like the World still has possibilities (should one be invested in such things)...
	1:34pm karlward: I have a job, a family, people expect me to do things other than watch Fugazi live videos
	1:34pm tim from washington: oh shit. sorry, karlward.
	1:35pm tim from washington: I like how Savak really stretches out in Set Apart. Reminds me of Dream Syndicate or Eddy Current.
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: karlward can't talk right now, Tim. He's at the video machine again.
	1:36pm karlward: I mean I was up to '92 already, now I have to go back to the beginning if I want to watch every Fugazi live show in order, you know, like a reasonable person
	1:36pm ¿¡: @RRN63: thanks rabbit Man, I knew there had to be an explanation! Just a simple case of mixup. And i as anyone can understand that a irritating situation can be impossible to ignore. well I'm glad that's cleared up,
	1:37pm drr: RevRabN63: yes, one of those tracks was almost like an homage to Psych Furs. Which is something I'm prepared for more of.
	1:37pm mndave: @RevRabbit They are excellent guys too, not that that should be a surprise; Sohrab emailed me directly apologizing for a couple-day delay on a t-shirt shipment in the worst early 2020 months of the pandemic in NYC. I wouldn't have cared if it took months, but it didn't and he sent a setlist on top of it!
	1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Fan. ✔︎
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Ha, well, I know exactly where Savak's Bandcamp photo was taken!
	1:39pm efd: after they recorded the set Sohrab emailed me to say the set came out to about 43 minutes and was that too long and did I want them to cut anything, and I said NO absolutely not!
	1:40pm Figgsrock: EFD--is this the longest set Savak has done on your show? 43 minutes is like getting a whole live album!
	1:40pm prof.fuzz: good call EFD
	1:40pm prof.fuzz: gotta go teach the kids all about the opium wars... stay well, y'all!
	1:41pm efd: @Figgsrock You'll have to check efdGraphs or efd Prospectus for that information.
	1:41pm efd: but yeah, it probably is
	1:42pm Figgsrock: @EFD--I'll reach out to Jay Jaffe to handle it.
	1:42pm tim from washington: Teach 'em good, prof!
	1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Generous.
	1:42pm prof.fuzz: opium=bad wars=bad opium wars=bad
	1:43pm efd: @Figgsrock good call
	1:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm diggin' this. The guy singing kind of reminds me of the guy in The Hold Steady.
	1:43pm efd: checks out, @prof.fuzz
	1:44pm Handy Haversack: How the heck does one get tix for a show at The PIT?
	1:45pm efd: I'm not familiar at all with that venue
	1:47pm tim from washington: You said it, efd! That was fantastic!
	1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brits in China - the original Nixon stye 'War On Drugs' strategy ?
	1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 👏
	1:48pm Handy Haversack: I can't find any way at all! The Song Kick page leads back to itself. The only web presence for the venue seems to be Instagram? I'd get tix for Savak/UW and hope for the best, but I can't even figure out how! Great set, though!
	1:53pm tim from washington: Alright, I've turned my headphones up to Belock stun level for this Saints set!
	1:53pm slocker: Maybe it's a sign, don't attempt to type live on-air!
	1:53pm efd: sometimes it can't be helped!
	1:54pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): When I grow up, I want to be Joe Joe Weekend
	1:55pm βrian: "Il n'ya aucune nica la pareille que Monica."
	1:55pm Hubig Pie: I gettin' such a Stooges vibe from this
	1:56pm Frank Zaatar: This is the first time I've heard Savak and it was a great set. It's high time the States had its own Gang of Four.
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speaking of being relevant with simple forms.
	1:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Know your product…
	1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Punk horns...
	1:59pm tim from washington: This Perfect Day is THEEEEEEE best!
	2:00pm Handy Haversack: Well, if anyone else figures out how to find tix to Savak/Upper Wilds in BK, let a Handy know.
	2:01pm tim from washington: Whoever doesn't like rock'n'roll can kiss my ass!
	2:02pm Hughie Considine: I was stone in love from the get-go with All Fool's Day and still am.
	2:02pm PaulRobeson1920: Mets 1 Phillies 0 Top of the 3rd
	2:03pm efd: @PaulRobeson1920 Now do Red Sox-Detroit
	2:03pm efd: @Hughie it is a superb album
	2:03pm PaulRobeson1920: @efd only have the met game on here!!! !
	2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Steeped in that incendiary 1st album - a sad way to get a clearer fix on the others.
	2:04pm PaulRobeson1920: Big home run deep center moments ago
	2:04pm drr: tvt was such a weird label.
	2:05pm joe mulligan: thats right @Hughie Considine.. Chris Bailey's voice was a big part of me coming of age, listening to college radio in the mid-to-late 80s
	2:06pm Figgsrock: Red Sox-Tigers tied at 1 in bottom of the third.
	2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fantastic Rawk voice.
	2:06pm drr: looking at their discogs page....TVT had early Nine Inch Nails, but also Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince??
	2:07pm Figgsrock: And for those in NYC, the suspect in yesterday's attack is custody. NBC is reporting that he was picked up at St. Marks and 1st ave as part of a stabbing.
	2:07pm Hughie Considine: Right there with you, @Joe. And no one sounded anything like Chris Bailey.
	2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a little like young Van Morrison's...
	2:09pm tim from washington: The inductees for 2022's Library of Congress National Recording Registry just came out: newsroom.loc.gov... Pretty good list except for J@#%ney.
	2:09pm tim from washington: Spot on, RRN!
	2:10pm joe mulligan: YES @Hughie and @Rev Rabbit!! thanks for this set EFD it is super nostalgic for me as I might not have heard these songs since high school and college
	2:10pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So did The Saints just get ignored by radio here? I never heard of them until Springsteen covered "Just Like Fire Would" when they toured Australia. Then I was like...what the heck is this and why haven't I heard it before dammit!!!
	2:11pm Hughie Considine: Ok, pretty good work, Library of Congress, but seriously, Franklin D. Roosevelt: Complete Presidential Speeches (1933-1945)? What about the early stuff?
	2:13pm Figgsrock: This was The Saints album I heard first--my college station had "Grain of Sand" in heavy for a while. I didn't hear "I'm Stranded" until a couple years later I think.
	2:14pm tim from washington: My thoughts exactly, Hughie. Any FDR speech after '22 is pandering pop fluff.
	2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fortunate to have an older sibling very dedicated to Rawk who spoonfed me masses of stuff. Presented the 1st Saints album as - here's guys from Australia, where the conservatives are especially offended by longhair - & they're totally naturally Punk totally in isolation from any other Scene...
	2:15pm Hughie Considine: I was hoping for this one, @EFD
	2:15pm efd: as a regular listener to WHTG on the Jersey Shore in the late '80s I was fortunate to hear a healthy selection of songs from these two albums.
	2:15pm joe mulligan: @WoodsOfNH it's so weird they played the Saints so much in the 80s (at least in the Philly college radio stations) then they dropped off the charts somehow. anyway, go Phils today!
	2:15pm efd: ...most of which I've just played for you!
	2:16pm Hughie Considine: haha, @tim -- the early stuff was EDGY man...
	2:16pm Ant Fart: I ❤️ this station
	2:17pm johnk77: back in those before times 1977->late 80s key australian rock bands having an impact in north america outside of college radio little river band & midnight oil great work selecter
	2:17pm joe mulligan: yes EFD these are all the good ones, thank you!!! for me back then it was WKDU Drexel, WXPN UPenn, and also WXDR University of Delaware
	2:17pm efd: I forgot how much I love "Ghost Ships." Outstanding choice by me.
	2:18pm drr: I recently bought a copy of "Free Dirt" by Australia's Died Pretty, which I thought was about the best record ever when it came out. I don't think so anymore but I found a lot to like in it.
	2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Such satisfying trax.
	2:19pm joe mulligan: @johnk77 also the Lime Spiders rocked my world back then
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HoodooGurus later...
	2:21pm tim from washington: Thanks for the 80s Saints songs, efd.
	2:21pm _Ike_: I thought the U of DE station was WVUD, call letters that are... somewhat unfortunate. Was it previously WXDR? When I had a car, I used to hear WKDU occasionally when driving through Philly and liked it in the 90s and 00s. WXPN was usually kind of boring though.
	2:21pm Stevel: Looking forward to reviewing this set in the archives, as I've been in and out. Will any other djs have Saints/Chris Bailey tributes as comprehensive as efd and Joe B.?
	2:23pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: I presume lockdown mode is the reason for some reruns of late-night shows recently instead of fill-ins (??).
	2:23pm joe mulligan: @_Ike_ you are correct sir! I think they made the call sign change in the 90s. I got tons of free concert tickets from WKDU back then.. WXPN was actually more exiting in the 80s if you caught the right shows
	2:23pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @joe mulligan: I can't remember if college radio in Maine (orono) played them. I graduated in 84, though at the time I was more interested in things like The Clash. Still, I would have liked them.
	2:25pm David Shortell: It makes sense that the Saints covered the Easybeats. I know little of that other early Aussie rock group, the Missing Links, whose "Wild About You" the Saints covered.
	2:25pm johnk77: hoodoo gurus correct started college/alternative then mtv
	2:26pm joe mulligan: @WoodsOfNH that must have been some good times up that part of the northeast to be in college
	2:26pm PaulRobeson1920: Mets lead 2-0 @Philly Top of the 4th Bases loaded, 1 out
	2:28pm Figgsrock: Oh no, now I'm going to have to listen to my Little River Band vinyl again after this show EFD!!!!
	2:28pm tim from washington: Does this sample count as OzCon?
	2:29pm drr: Is this a sample from "Reminiscing"?
	2:29pm efd: @tim Absolutely!
	2:29pm efd: @drr Absolutely!
	2:30pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @joe mulligan: For a "middle of nowhere" locale, we got a surprisingly wide array of musicians up here: B-52s, Chuck Berry, David Johansen, JB Hutto, Johnny Copeland, J. Geils, Bill Chinnock (by way of E-Street)
	2:30pm PaulRobeson1920: Hit by pitch Mets lead 3-0
	2:33pm βrian: If it weren't for the Mets, New Yorkers would have no team to root for.
	2:33pm Handy Haversack: Can just about picture the poster for the eighties movie this should be on the soundtrack of.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: I would describe myself as a Mets well wisher. In that I wish them no specific ill. Until they play the Yankees.
	2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah 'Selene' had me thinking Stevie ...liked it anyway ! :D ...
	2:36pm Stevel: Well this is pretty fucking cool!
	2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would you say ? ( - spastic Gittarhead here...) - like Ringo this shows great skill in serving the Song...
	2:38pm βrian: When I was growing up, we were pretty agnostic about ball teams. If the home team wasn't playing, we could root for most anybody else. But the Yankees were like KAOS, "the international organization of evil".
	2:39pm efd: that's what I get for playing something from Google's YouTube when I don't usually do that. I need to leave that to the experts like ken!
	2:39pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Olivia! I love this record.
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: Word, Woods!
	2:41pm tim from washington: Olivia!!!!!!!
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: I'd love for there to be a reason for kids to hate the Yankees again. But they refuse to spend any money just like all the other craven MLB teams right now.
	2:42pm -жеи: Hi Evan
	2:42pm karlward: When did people stop hating the Yankees?
	2:43pm Handy Haversack: I guess what's most shocking about that album is that Olivia is eighty-eight years old! I would not have thought so.
	2:43pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Ken: Are you back to wearing the hazmat suit?
	2:44pm Handy Haversack: Still sounds great, though!
	2:44pm tim from washington: It wasn't until I lived in Illinois that I learned that Cubs/White Sox fandom boiled down to class warfare. The White Sox are the Peoples team and the Cubs are the team for rich a-holes. Is that the same for the Mets and Yankees?
	2:45pm βrian: I suppose I would like the Yankees — if I were a hedge fund manager, say …
	2:45pm Handy Haversack: Only in the mythopoeic imaginary of some Met fans and LOTS of overly romantic old sportswriters, tim.
	2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do not care for 70sChartMac - & still thot was hella impressive drumming. Yay isolated trax.
	2:47pm βrian: On the other hand, Steve Goodman was a Cubs fan.
	2:47pm efd: hi Ken
	2:47pm johnk77: yankees outside the bronx have a long run as villians resulting in boffo box office
	2:48pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My dad was a Yankees fan. Used to take the train down from CT to see games.
	2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh you 12 year olds & your sportsball caps ...you should be like me, into profound things like Godzilla & morally unsullied fields like the RawkMusics...
	2:50pm Hoboken Jack: Mets Schmets, Kershaw is perfect through 6.
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for the heads-up, Jack. That's what the EAS should be for!
	2:53pm Carmichael: I haven't paid attention to baseball since the last strike and ensuing roid rage era. Now the NFL, that's another story. Also Premier League footie ...
	2:53pm Carmichael: Thought this might be the Ting Tings at 1st listen.
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Aaaaaand they pulled him. April!
	2:54pm duluoz: Lifelong Cubs fan...refuse to watch/root for team as new owners single-handedly tore down a neighborhood to gentrify it. little regard for the team nor the fans. Still can't bring myself to root for the Sox, though I do respect the org and hiring of Latino managers for a predominantly Latino team as well as affordable tix for the fans.
	2:54pm drr: everybody saw the crazy beanball from yesterday's Nats-Braves game?
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Wait, I was wrong, sorry. ESPN was confusulating me.
	2:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I used to watch a ton of baseball, so much so that my wife used to joke about being a "baseball widow." Then for some reason I started to dislike competition and stopped watching most sports.
	2:55pm radioronan: Thanks, Evan!
	2:56pm tim from washington: @RRN - you'll be pleased to know that I was a baseball fanatic until about age 12 when I converted to the church of rock'n'roll. I blame MAD, big-time wrestling and Three Stooges re-runs as my gateway drugs to rock'n'roll.
	2:56pm Handy Haversack: efd, for what it's worth, the embedded "bandcamp" link for dyan valdés goes to today's playlist. Also: thanks! Great show and excellent live set. And tribute. It had it all! If anyone figures out how to get tix to Savak in BK, I'm all ears. Later on, funksters!
	2:56pm tim from washington: Thanks, efd! The show sounded great today. Thanks for the SAVAK too!
	2:57pm drr: Mad is responsible for so much of my attitude. Also Daffy Duck.
	2:57pm roBert beLowe: Hi all. Great show as always, Evan! I caught the first night of the Hitmakers tour. What a trio!!! I hope to see Bob Bert someday...
	2:57pm chresti: Thanks EFD!
	2:57pm Hughie Considine: What a fine, fine show - thanks, efd!
	2:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks EFD!!
	2:58pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Excellent homebrewed show today!
	2:58pm PaulRobeson1920: Great show EFD
	2:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, efd. Good to see that the 100' ethernet cable still provides high fidelity sound.
	2:59pm drr: Great show. Gonna get a SAVAK record.
	3:00pm olivia: Miss ya EFD! Thanks for playing Olivia 88!!
	3:00pm egould: Thanks efd!
	3:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ efd ! ~
