	12:14pm tim from washington: ↳ Song: "the regulator (excerpt)" by "the dream syndicate" I really dig this!

	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:22 i have a bunch of wall treatments i am not using, but it would cost a bundle to send em there. you could make yer own, for the shipping. i did mine from home depot.

	12:25pm tim from washington: ↳ efd @12:24 For sure!
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "hot water" by "ides of march" No Ides of May tracks?

	12:27pm Katharsis: efd, listeners
	12:28pm prof.fuzz: a couple of days late for the ides of may, clarkEEEE
	12:28pm Krys O.: ↳ efd @12:24 I heard this back at Crazy Eddie's. We had a guy who worked in the record department who was a dj and so many djs would come to him for the latest stuff. He was also an excellent break dancer. He'd throw down a piece of cardboard on the sidewalk and do a show in front of the store. It was on 6th Ave and 8th.
	12:28pm prof.fuzz: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:28 oops, handy
	12:28pm efd: ↳ Krys O. @12:28 oh cool!
	12:28pm efd: ↳ clarke @12:27 sure is
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:27 prof is thrusting you upon me!!
	12:29pm efd: ↳ efd @12:28 I guess they'd ditched the horns by this point, probably too expensive
	12:29pm nycmusicnerd: No thrusting allowed, this is a family show.
	12:29pm clarke: uh, foisting.
	12:30pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:28 you make that sound so dirty, clarkEEEEE
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:29 union dispute.
	12:30pm tim from washington: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:29 evan "family show" davies!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:30 handy is very clean.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Song: "see that my grave is kept clean" by "the dream sy... Son House, baby!!
	12:32pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:24 I was debating that, but the room is also just pretty empty. I'm wondering if getting some sort of additional furniture in there would help deaden things. Maybe a shelving unit?
	12:33pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "see that my grave is kept clean" by "the dream sy... Elliot Mazer produced Ghost Stories. Appears he avoided all of the trappings of late 80's recordings.
	12:34pm clarke: well, records actually blunt some unwanted echoes. but, you'll want to deaden the flat surfaces a bit, and get bass traps (triangles) for the square corners, which make the ugliest transients.
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:30 Out of class for a couple of days makes him really out of class!
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:32 the bass traps you'll have to spend a little on.
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 Man Seen Skateboarding On The Backside Pantsless
	12:36pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:34 i'm always low on class
	12:36pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:36 this could happen this afternoon...
	12:37pm Matt_: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:36 Give us a call when you have no class
	12:38pm clarke: ring ring!!!
	12:38pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:36 Pics or it didn't happen.
	12:38pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Matt_ @12:37 "your call is not that important to us, please stay on the line..."
	12:39pm clarke: airhorn. blast.
	12:39pm Mister Dobalina: I'll leave this right here: twitter.com...
	12:39pm clarke: they got in hot water with the union.
	12:40pm slocker: Sweet
	12:42pm tim from washington: Man, efd is teasing us with details about a super cool art exhibit that isn't open yet AND social media without any airhorns. Triflin!
	12:42pm clarke: he's good like dat.
	12:43pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:35 It's more for mic breaks really, and potentially vocals. Any music recording would be done direct
	12:43pm RevWaldo: Hi E"F"D! Had clicked on the Sheena robot stream by accident and was wondering what the heck was going on for the past twenty minutes. 🤨
	12:43pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ tim from washington @12:42 This is an interesting point.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:43 exactly, the tones you don't like are mostly coming from your corners up at the ceiling.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:44 (most likely)
	12:45pm clarke: mmm... salami time....Fuzzy Salami!
	12:46pm sufferwords: Steve Sax
	12:46pm efd: ↳ Mister Dobalina @12:39 instagram, facebook, or mastodon is where you'll find the pics/video from last night!
	12:46pm tim from washington: What's the definition of "the yips" again?
	12:47pm Eugene R.: Saw the Baseball Project at the SABR convention in Chicago, 2015. Slamming set, and they loved having an audience who knew when/how to laugh/cry at the songs.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:46 when you do something so much that it is easy and then you can't.
	12:47pm Figgsrock: The Yips arewhen a player cannot throw to a base.
	12:47pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @12:46 sudden inability to make accurate throws, for example
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:47 or throw a strike, or field a grounder, etc.
	12:48pm Eugene R.: Type "Chuck Knoblauch" into your search engine to find out about The Yips.
	12:49pm clarke: stuff that should come naturally becomes a brain twister.
	12:49pm clarke: or bill buckner. sorry EFD.
	12:49pm tim from washington: Got it! Thanks, everybody. There was also a cool band from Columbus called The Yips.
	12:50pm Gary: Speaking of baseball. Ira the K is throwing out first pitch on 6/1 at Citi Field. Maybe they will sign him.
	12:50pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:49 yip.
	12:51pm clarke: it's like when Handy sees the bar, but can't quite make his way over to it.
	12:51pm tim from washington: I get the yips all the time in my brain.
	12:51pm egould: ↳ Song: "in space" by "connections" I’m really connecting with this Connections album. Real jangly. Real nice.
	12:51pm nycmusicnerd: Not to be confused with sounding one's barbaric yawp.
	12:52pm Karl Ward: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:43 I hang some super cheap sleeping bags and king size comforters around whatever I'm recording. It works surprisingly well. I have a drop ceiling in my basement so I can easily hang stuff almost anywhere in the room. One of these half circle baffles in front of you and a comforter hanging behind you can do wonders. Here's the mic baffle I have: www.sweetwater.com...
	12:52pm efd: ↳ clarke @12:49 well that was more of a one-off error than a pattern/series, which is what I think of when I think of the yips
	12:53pm Uleeshuh TN: ↳ Song: "in space" by "connections" Still loving this tune
	12:53pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @12:52 or moving blankets (which are a great deal at Harbor Freight!!)
	12:54pm clarke: but, i have heard some of Frank's 'casts and it sounds like the upper corners are causing some unwanted frequencies.
	12:54pm tim from washington: ↳ Song: "albatross" by "balk" Should've played Balk after The Yips.
	12:55pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @12:54 yeah yeah
	12:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:51 The only good thing that happened in softball yesterday was the 1-2-3 inning when we made all three outs 1-4. I was pitching. The worst thing? Playing in a total bar desert. The closest bar was a walk over the bridge into the Bronx. No thonx. I went home where I'm loved (by my bar).
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:55 they have these things called package stores.
	12:56pm Karl Ward: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:55 Picturing Handy pitching while wearing one of those hats with the two upside down beers mounted in it.
	12:56pm tim from washington: ↳ efd @12:55 I understand. Flow over content usually sounds better. ;)
	12:56pm clarke: handy would love it here. no container laws.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @12:56 it can be done - yips aside.
	12:58pm clarke: The Bronx Package Store has banned Handy for being too good of a drinker.
	12:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl Ward @12:56 The way I look at it, my insurance should really cover that.
	12:59pm clarke: in some states.
	1:00pm clarke: there could be an alternating theme going on in this set.
	1:00pm tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:55 Sounds like you experienced "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" in the same game.
	1:02pm clarke: or there could NOT be.
	1:02pm Handy Haversack: Some good news, at last! My aunt, ninety-seven, is home from the hospital and doing much better!
	1:03pm tim from washington: ↳ Song: "wallpaper" by "sweet knives" I really dig Sweet Knives!
	1:03pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:02 oh that IS good news!
	1:03pm clarke: dude, so that is why ya'll took the covid tests and all?? good news!!
	1:03pm tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:02 That's great news, Handy!
	1:03pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:02 woot!
	1:03pm clarke: ↳ Song: "wallpaper" by "sweet knives" geaux alicja!!!
	1:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @1:03 Sad thing is, they were one and done, it seems. This album is so great. We got to see them once, at least.
	1:03pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Karl Ward @12:52 I've been blowing up an air mattress and putting that behind me, but even that it a bit more reflective than I would like.
	1:03pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:02 Good to hear
	1:04pm love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:02 Oh that is fantastic Handy, busy choring inside and out, but delighted to spot that excellent news. Huzzah!
	1:04pm Frank In Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:02 Excellent!
	1:04pm Yuri G: Similar to VERUCA SALT
	1:04pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @1:03 put a moving blanket around the air mattress. or a sleeping bag, yes.
	1:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @1:03 No, sadly, that's for visiting ANOTHER friend in the hospital, here in NYC. Hit by a truck!
	1:05pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, pals. Tamps down the background stress radiation level a little bit.
	1:05pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 aw man. hope for recovery!!
	1:05pm tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:03 Noooo!
	1:05pm tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:04 How's this friend doing?
	1:07pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @1:04 put the uninflated air mattress in a sleeping bag and blow it up.
	1:09pm Peter Horvath: Digging the show, EFD
	1:09pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @1:07 I don't have a sleeping bag but I do have some really heavy comforters. Maybe I'll drape one over the mattress and try that.
	1:10pm clarke: yes, that will help. but, i assume you'll want something nice-looking for permanent use.
	1:11pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @1:05 They've been there over two months now. Finally just moved up to the rehab section, where they'll be another two weeks to a month. Then comes all the orthopedic stuff and more rehab. It's a long, long road. Going to seem them again tomorrow.
	1:12pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @1:09 you can get moving blankets for cheap at Harbor Freight - there's one in that place that Handy doesn't care for -- the bronx.
	1:12pm brycepunk1: Loving the show today :)
	1:14pm clarke: ↳ clarke @1:12 just make sure to bring some booze with you when you go to the Bronx.
	1:14pm tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:11 Oh man. I'm glad to hear that they've moved to rehab. you're a good friend for visiting regularly.
	1:14pm efd: ↳ brycepunk1 @1:12 thanks!
	1:14pm rich the greeb: Loving this m(h)aol track!
	1:14pm norske_jersey_boy: Hey there EFD and WFMU folks! Great show as usual! It’s the constitution day in Norway - kind of like 4th of July, but different. Maybe play something Norwegian?
	1:15pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:11 how was the kelp on sattaday??

Funksters! getting ready to head out -- i missed the title of that documentary! is it still screening in a theater? in NYC? and . . . since you mentioned Mitch Easter! i recently went down the Water Music rabbit hole (i had read about how the building and space is going to be demolished and turned into more ugly "luxury condos" ick) -- i had heard about Water Music for decades, but never knew exactly where it was! turns out it is the kinda run down building across the street from the Shop Rite, that i had walked by a gazillion times -- people have contributed to the garden in front of the building, but recently it has been vandalized 😿😿 ANYWAY, iurns out Faye Hunter (RIP) had been part of a Water Music compilation, and also appears in this video from The Cosmopolitans -- not the greatest quality, but is that you on drums?! youtu.be...

	2:02pm dave miss: Howdy Handy, Slugy, Carmichael, et al
	2:02pm clarke: ↳ dave miss @2:00 what's "poppin'" right now is a lightning storm in nola!!
	2:03pm clarke: ↳ winston legthigh @2:02 that would give me a reason to wear a mets hat.
	2:04pm dave miss: ↳ clarke @2:02 Bing Bong! Metz are scraping the bottom these days
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ dave miss @2:02 dave miss! How are you two doing?
	2:04pm clarke: ↳ dave miss @2:04 don't tell frank.

	2:05pm dave miss: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:04 Hey Handy, We're good. Lolo is recovering from breaking her toe. (mardi gras injury) So not a ton of "going" anywhere.
	2:05pm clarke: ↳ swivs @2:05 a little bit, yah.
	2:06pm winston legthigh: ↳ dave miss @2:04 hoping for the opposite of good early, bad late. 2007 was embarrassing.
	2:06pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "pop song" by "radio ghosts" Totally thought this was Midge Ure at first.
	2:06pm clarke: ↳ dave miss @2:05 still bummed i didn't see u at Mardi Gras!!

	2:08pm dave miss: ↳ clarke @2:06 We were there for KDV and dressed as Lil T from Western Beef & Dolly respectively
	2:09pm clarke: ↳ dave miss @2:08 i didn't even venture to the quarter, sadly.
	2:09pm Karl Ward: Heavenly!
	2:10pm love2laf: ↳ Fred And Alan @1:55 Fred, Alan, good to see you today! Busy doing chores like a fiend, so sorry if I miss any of your comments :) Hope you're both resting up when you can, halfway to the weekend, and it's a busy one!

	2:13pm efd: oh hi Fred and Alan, I didn't see you come in!
	2:13pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @2:07 That would make sense then!
	2:14pm Handy Haversack: efd, clarke, did either of you ever hear an Atlanta band from the early nineties called Shadow Puppets? Album was New Amsterdam, and I think the single was "Absolute You." We loved them in HS, but I have never seen any mention of them anyplace.
	2:14pm Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "the perfect woman" by "cat mountain" Subtle Kermit sound on these vocals.
	2:15pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:14 naw, never hoid of 'em
	2:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:15 I still have the cassette!
	2:16pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:14 that reminds me - do you have Right As Rain stuff - it is pretty elusive!
	2:17pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:14 not familiar!
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:16 No, don't think so.
	2:18pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @2:17 I'll lend you the cassette next time I see you, efd.
	2:18pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:17 and been meaning to ask: are you familiar with the Charles brothers?? i don't know what their band name was in ATL, but it became Sidewalk Gallery when they moved to boston
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:18 Not by name, no. Maybe if you knew the band? Though keep in mind, while precocious, I was still only eighteen when I left!
	2:20pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:19 right! brian charles opened and is re-opening the great studio: Zippah
	2:20pm gorp: WOKE!? no thank u
	2:22pm clarke: now davies is giving equal time to cats, after last week.
	2:25pm clarke: i'm imagining EFD returned home to some cold cat-shoulders, last week.
	2:29pm Karl Ward: ↳ clarke @2:25 Or EFD's cats were dressed in elaborate dog costumes when he came home
	2:29pm clarke: ↳ Song: "porch boogie" by "rose city band" sometimes this guy gets a little too jerry for moi.
	2:30pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @2:29 and pulled the old bucket of water over the door prank.
	2:30pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:29 he's just on the right side of that line for me
	2:31pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:30 yeah, like if jerry could actually FIND the right notes!!
	2:31pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:31 I was gonna say, "because this guy actually knows how to play?"
	2:32pm Patrick S.: ↳ efd @2:30 100% same for me. Just clears it.
	2:32pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:31 the funny thing is that garcia was a very succinct pedal steel player!!
	2:33pm Hoboken Jack: Hey EFD and all, just getting some late listening in!
	2:33pm Mortricia: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:31 Ouch! And here I just got back to my office and thought, no way he's playing the Dead (although unlike most of the FMU-verse, I actually really like them a lot and may have burned a lot of vacation days traveling during the 80's/early90's). =)
	2:33pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @2:33 jack - enjoyed your blog, maaan!! thanks!!
	2:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Mortricia @2:33 I might have had a wayward period in my youth, but I recovered and so now of course am extra zealous.
	2:35pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:35 there WAS a sweet spot in there - early on.
	2:36pm Mortricia: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:35 Ha! that's cool. Gotta know what you like, man. =)
	2:36pm efd: let's just remember (myself included) that there's no rule that says we all have to like the same things!
	2:36pm clarke: this stupid goddam fucking world.
	2:36pm Juli: <3<3<3<3
	2:37pm Juli: <3<3<3<3
	2:37pm Mortricia: ↳ efd @2:36 Yepper. No guilty pleasures and no music shaming (something I had to learn as I aged).
	2:37pm Matt_: ↳ clarke @2:36 Probably considered and rejected for being too wordy, but f'n A right on
	2:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @2:36 Except for Eyelids. We all have to like Eyelids.
	2:38pm clarke: and then nothing turned itself inside-out.
	2:38pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 Fair.
	2:38pm Juli: A lady once cried when I told her I was 37 Because I seemed so young This Stupid World:::{ Ppl growing olde & unfriendly Unfun
	2:38pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:37 and the mets. noooo!!!
	2:39pm Matt_: pretty sure we all like the Mets
	2:40pm clarke: nosir.
	2:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt_ @2:39 I'm a well wisher. In that I wish them no specific ill. Well, OK, that's a half truth at best.
	2:40pm Aaron Working In Newark: Good Afternoon
	2:40pm Matt_: ↳ clarke @2:40 This stupid world! Ha.
	2:40pm clarke: but the Eyelids!!! yes!!
	2:40pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @2:33 Aw thanks buddy!!
	2:41pm clarke: if you like a flick - i am pretty dang sure i will, too!! trust!!
	2:41pm Matt_: It is true about music though. I used to be a dick when my friends would play the dead. Now I just accept it, no point in doing otherwise as long as we're not making an entire evening of it
	2:42pm Matt_: ↳ Song: "when am i coming down" by "the godfathers" This entire godfathers album is chef's kiss excellent
	2:42pm clarke: to half of my friends, i like too much music, to the other half i don't like enough.
	2:43pm Juli: ↳ clarke @2:42 Too much....musick?
	2:43pm Laurie H: wow Godfathers! havent heard this in ages. saw them at the Ritz back in the 80s :p
	2:43pm clarke: ↳ Juli @2:43 37 years old?? sniff...
	2:44pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Matt_ @2:41 I suspect if you guys knew half of the stuff I listen to, you'd kick me off the board. But that's why I call myself a music nerd. I like what I like. And I don't worry about whether I should like it or not.
	2:44pm efd: ↳ Laurie H @2:43 was that with Living Color opening?
	2:44pm Karl Ward: I love that people like different music than I do. How boring life would be otherwise! But man I dislike some music, with a powerful and (I hope) infectious dislike.
	2:44pm Mortricia: ↳ clarke @2:42 yeah, to half of my friends I have a hugely varied and eclectic musical taste and to the other have, I'm a Philistine.
	2:44pm efd: ↳ Matt_ @2:42 hard agree!
	2:44pm Juli: ↳ clarke @2:43 I know right!! Ppl rush their life::: Live slowly
	2:45pm Figgsrock: Wow. I have not heard this Godfathers song on the radio since that album was in current rotation at my college station.
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ Juli @2:44 that really does make me wanna shed a bit of a tear.
	2:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "when am i coming down" by "the godfathers" there's a lot of wynn in this!! never realized.
	2:45pm rich the greeb: Godfathers are soo underrated
	2:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "when am i coming down" by "the godfathers" Speaking of Godfathers, I just inherited some DiSarronno and so will be mixing them, perhaps even this very night.
	2:46pm efd: ↳ rich the greeb @2:45 not here! :)
	2:46pm clarke: inherited is not good??
	2:46pm Matt_: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:46 Fun! Remember those "on the rocks" commercials?
	2:47pm Laurie H: ↳ efd @2:44 Maybe? my memory is pretty lousy but it sounds about right!
	2:47pm Juli: I du dress like I'm going to a goth rave at all times:: I guess only kids du that in the suburbs
	2:47pm clarke: he won't remember
	2:48pm rich the greeb: Something to dü
	2:48pm Mortricia: ↳ Juli @2:47 I embraced age inappropriate dress years ago and am not turning back even when I embrace my senior citizens discounts!
	2:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt_ @2:46 No, I don't think so? clarke, a friend moved to SF and left us her booze and pasta -- and vegan bouillon.
	2:49pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:48 At least she left you the pasta instead of dumping it in Old Bridge.
	2:49pm clarke: my band had to open for Living Colour once, at cbgb's (!!) - ugh. left immediately after our set.
	2:49pm Juli: ↳ Mortricia @2:48 Same:: I'm wearing these clothes I own forever & I may add more black but like:: Never changing::
	2:50pm rich the greeb: Dammit I was gonna make scam likely my stage name, oh well you snooze, you lose
	2:50pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:48 good inherit!!!
	2:50pm Matt_: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:48 DiSarronno was trying to make their booze sexy and musta spent a ton in the late 80's on a big ad campaign for it
	2:50pm Karl Ward: ↳ Juli @2:47 Please tell me that "goth rave" is a real thing, and then tell me that people who go to goth raves call them "graves"
	2:50pm Juli: I wear vintage children's clothing lol
	2:51pm Juli: ↳ Karl Ward @2:50 It's real it's my life lol Nicely tho graves lol
	2:51pm Juli: "Let's go to the Grave..."

	2:57pm Figgsrock: Oh man, "Deeper and Deeper" is a monster song.
