	12:05pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:02 Ha! Well, we traded working today so we could have 12/23 off. Tomorrow is when all the holiday vacations are over at commercial radio, so we need to have fresh content ready to go.
	12:05pm Deano de los Muertos: Hey Evan and crew
	12:05pm efd: Welcome to 2025, everyone! Thanks for tuning in today!
	12:06pm clarke: tis a strange day, here in new orleans. though i appear to be not personally touched by the tragic incident (so far), it is certainly affecting a sad mood.

	12:08pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:06 I think it's either tomorrow or Monday? Not exactly sure. All the NYC-based shows are back tomorrow, so we usually use that as our guide.
	12:08pm Roberto: ↳ clarke @12:06 Solidarity from NYC, clarke!
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:07 it is unlikely we knew anyone there, at that hour; however, the incident happened RIGHT in front of my fave restaurant: Gallatoire's which i may have been at during an earlier hour... crazy.

	12:24pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:19 Easy: your students steal your youth, leaving you a red phone receiver-clutching husk.

	12:29pm efd: ↳ hunterfelt @12:28 FOR GOOD REASON!
	12:30pm clarke: zager just called, he wants to change some dates..
	12:30pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "in the year 2025 (efd edit)" by "zager and evans" when does planet of the apes fit into this timeline?
	12:30pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "in the year 2025 (efd edit)" by "zager and evans" Z & E didn't think they had a hit on their hands with this, but it was in their live act and it always killed. True story.
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:30 too early for math.!
	12:31pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:30 there's a charge for those kinds of changes
	12:31pm Brian from Charlottesville: Nice 2025 edit, EFD
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:31 you not kid, yankee!
	12:31pm Figgsrock: EFD, I am still laughing over that edit. Glad I wasn't drinking my tea when it came on or my screen would have been covered in tea from the spit take.
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:31 tea spew can be dangerous!
	12:33pm Emily in JC: Happy New Year, Evan! 🎉 Thanks for keeping the tunes going 🎶
	12:33pm hifivicky: HNY HJ!! 💙
	12:35pm clarke: still feeling husky, Jack??
	12:35pm Hughie Considine: and Jefferson Airplane, of course
	12:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "new year" by "svt" It's funny, Jorma Kaukonen also briefly went 'new wave' with Vital Parts.
	12:37pm evancuts: Happy New Year! 2025 is the Year of the Evan! BTW I saw a guy with a Hot Tuna ski cap walking his dog in Montclair yesterday and I stopped to tell him I have tickets for Jorma at the Newton Theater later this year. What are the odds?
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ evancuts @12:37 Jorma is my cousin!
	12:38pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:31 haha, and here I was worried that it was too subtle!
	12:39pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "chewing gum" by "amyl & the sniffers" A and the S's just keep getting better!
	12:39pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 what the...?!
	12:39pm johnk77: svt straight out of novato california
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:38 and yes, donnie, it IS near the In/Out!
	12:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @12:39 Yup. I guess second cousin. His mom and my dad are cousins -- her parents took in my dad for a while after his dad died. They were close their whole lives, and I managed to get out to visit her in SF before she died.
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:41 hot tuna burgers
	12:43pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:41 amazing.
	12:43pm johnk77: jack casady is 1 of the quietest musicians i have met in my life
	12:43pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "i hate myself" by "the darkness" This might be the best Darkness song in...two decades?
	12:44pm johnk77: off-stage
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ johnk77 @12:44 never met jack, but it might be in the water, because the flamin' groovies bassist (george alexander) was quite as a mouse himself.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:45 -quiet
	12:47pm Ignore Function: Happy New Year EFD and crew.
	12:47pm No Big Thing in Chicago: Happy New Year efd and everyone! Glad and grateful you’re here playing music for us.
	12:50pm johnk77: bill gibson the original drummer svt went on to make real $ w/huey lewis & the news another interesting jack fact is that paul, grace, and marty 3 of the most high-maintenance band-mates anyone ever had hot tuna the more chilled side of airplane
	12:50pm Joe B: happy new year efd!

	1:00pm slocker: ↳ slocker @12:59 Good looking out Figgs.
	1:02pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "what would you have me do" by "the specific heats" Hmmm...I was positive this was an instrumental version of "Time to Quit" by Luna.
	1:04pm Sean T-Rex: You rocking it so far EFD!!! Glad you are on today! I'm having a few mimosas while listening and enjoying! Happy New Years all!
	1:05pm TDK60: Happy '25, DJ Evan.

	1:10pm efd: ↳ efd @1:09 whoops, I'd typed that comment in about 10 minutes ago but didn't finish posting it
	1:10pm efd: ↳ Song: "bluebottle" by "pob & dj patrick reid" note to self: in the future, start this song about 40-50 seconds in
	1:11pm LesleyK: Happy New Year efd and all!
	1:11pm clarke: decaydes later...
	1:12pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ clarke @1:08 You know, at that big Super Bowl halftime show a few years back, everybody was working for The Weeknd.

	1:13pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:12 haven't watched a halftime show since the stones

	1:18pm Steve Harsh: Thanks for another great year of music Evan, Happy New Year to you and everyone!
	1:23pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "ride my see saw" by "patrick cowley" This is the oddest Moody Blues cover I've ever heard (jk).
	1:24pm Alanthepainter: Thank you Evan Happy New Year!
	1:24pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @1:23 I feel like it should have a disclaimer, like "inspired by actual events"
	1:25pm LesleyK: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:12 Hi! 👋
	1:26pm LesleyK: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:17 To you and Kate too!
	1:27pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @1:24 I didn't hear a single thing that seem connected to the original song.
	1:27pm Will thee SG OCNY: happy new year efd and all!!! been listening to the whole show, killin it man!!!
	1:28pm clarke: a workin' stiff like Figgs deserves some KK!!!
	1:30pm clarke: The Right Dummy -hmmm
	1:31pm hunterfelt: I've listened to so many abstract jazz covers of popular songs (and live Can albums) that I didn't even blink at that "Ride My See Saw" cover. I distinctly heard the melody of the chorus at several points!
	1:33pm Figgsrock: A New Year's Resolution to spend more time on social media could only be paired with a resolution to ram one's head into more doors.
	1:33pm Figgsrock: ↳ Figgsrock @1:33 Says the guy who has posted on five different platorms today.
	1:34pm clarke: this airhorn's for you!
	1:37pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @1:27 Happy new year, Will!
	1:37pm Gaston: For your best of year end, far be it from me to make recommendations, but The Violet Mine put out a spectacular song called Perfect Host, and the psychedelic video that accompanies it is also spectacular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW8gbkiGDfc Happy new year
	1:39pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:37 Happy New Year Hoboken Jack!!!
	1:40pm clarke: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @1:39 as we say in the sewers: here's mud in your eye - Ed Norton

	1:48pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @1:47 I'm late to the comments, but reading through them I'm glad you're ok.

	1:51pm PC77: ↳ clarke @1:47 no thx :)
	1:52pm MD Walkman: Happy New Year
	1:52pm listener phat in Lincoln: It is a new year. New gigs, at least and new musical studies. Happy New Year.
	1:53pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @1:52 there ya go! all the best with patch-up!
	1:53pm MD Walkman: Hopefully no one is hung over today.
	1:55pm pp: ↳ Song: "deep purple is my heart" by "derek & the dirt" My first trenchant observation of 2025 -- notice the last few notes of Deep Purple is in My Heart is taken from Highway Star? In that little snip, more recognizable than that entire Ride My Seesaw cut.
	1:55pm efd: ↳ MD Walkman @1:53 A while ago I aged out of "drinking too much" and into "eating too much."
	1:56pm clarke: i haven't had booze in seven years, and yet, i still feel hungover.
	1:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:55 I'm in the "let's do both" sweet spot!
	1:57pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 those burgers are good, dude!
	1:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @1:57 A few laughs ...
	1:59pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:58 thankew donny
	1:59pm MD Walkman: I aged out of drinking too much as well.
	2:00pm thesecoronalives: it is some of the sweetest bed music on all of wfmu..
	2:03pm clarke: i can dig it, man. it's all right.
	2:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @1:53 ❤️
	2:08pm MD Walkman: Clarke, hydraate haha.
	2:08pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:07 apparently, it is a hexapod scene
	2:08pm listener phat in Lincoln: I quit drinking 14 years ago (I think, I always forget the year) and I still get hangovers, for some reason. Probably dehydrated.
	2:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "anyway the wind" by "the woggles" NICE!!!
	2:09pm MD Walkman: quit in 2015 here.
	2:11pm clarke: ↳ MD Walkman @2:08 ha ha, riiighhht
	2:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @1:53 I do have a new band that's going to start gigging in February. I'm playing bass, which is good. I probably have no business playing guitar. Lol. Everyone can play very well (I'm probably the weakest link) and the drummer and I locked in at our first practice like we were reading each others' minds.
	2:12pm Evan near Baltimore: Hello all. Glad for this rare opportunity to listen to this show llve. I’m a bit surprised by the reaction to the Patrick Crowley song. Sounded like an instrumental cover of “ride my seesaw” pretty early, though I did go upstairs from where I was listening to check the playlist to confirm. Glad I “tuned in”. Lots of great music that is new to me.
	2:13pm money&pain: I love the Buzzcocks so much.
	2:13pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:11 this is good information, sir!
	2:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "harmony in my head" by "buzzcocks" What a totally rad tune.
	2:13pm efd: ↳ Evan near Baltimore @2:12 thanks for listening, fellow Evan!
	2:14pm eastvanhalen: ↳ Song: "harmony in my head" by "buzzcocks" ok, this one means it's time to get out of bed, hny all!
	2:14pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:13 in-deeeed.
	2:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:13 I'm freaking out, actually, at how good it is. It's more Dave Mandl than Michael Shelley. I'ma probably work on some pop/r&b stuff later this year, hopefully the drummer will join me.
	2:16pm MD Walkman: Has mastadon been around for a while? it feels like these new social media apps are popping up but nothing has really taken off... i remember there was a facebook replacement around 10 years ago but it never went anywhere.
	2:16pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:15 i'm sure we'll hear about it!
	2:16pm Saltonstall: Is this related to Slum of Legs?
	2:16pm clarke: what's facebook?
	2:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:16 How's your stuff going?
	2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "goldfishes" by "(+39)375-649-94-64 my telephone n... Oh, right, this band! Evan, remember, you have to say the band name at least twice during the mic break.
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Saltonstall @2:16 Whoa, is it? Slum of Legs is so good!
	2:17pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:16 wrote a little ditty, this morning - before i heard the news.
	2:18pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:16 I should just call them and make them say it themselves!
	2:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:17 I'm anxious to hear the stuff you've been working on.
	2:18pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:18 i wouldn't be too anxious! ha ha
	2:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:17 I have another possible project I may be undertaking, I'll email you about it. It's Game Theory related.
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @2:18 How would you get their num -- OH! RIGHT!
	2:19pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:19 Miller Time!! cool!
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: You're a pro, efd. The best of the best.
	2:24pm Stevel: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:23 Excellent DJ goading. He actually went three times!
	2:26pm herb.nyc: Oh. Haven’t been listening to the bulk of Evans recent shows. But has he played Future Wife (?) song “alone for Christmas”(?)? If not, well, the longer he waits the less timely it is. So…
	2:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: Sunk
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: Well, it's not chain punk, you see.
	2:27pm Roberto: sunk
	2:27pm Hughie Considine: My son was a subway fanatic and he would play with his trains and say, "Fear of the closing doors, please. Beep boop beep boop beep boop. It was adorable.
	2:29pm Billygoat Jen: It did not sink in! :)))
	2:29pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "niche pose" by "stan clear and the closing doors" They have leapfrogged over Slowey & the Boats to be my second favorite band name, but still in the top spot: Quitty & the Don'ts
	2:29pm efd: ↳ Billygoat Jen @2:29 that's the way to go right there!
	2:30pm Saltonstall: Egg Punk= nerdy Devo-inspired compressed guitar and keyboard punk rock typically with Midwest origins. Liberal use of drum machines. Many one person bands. Duos too
	2:30pm medson: Hey Evan thanks for the driving tunes... Happy New Year one and all
	2:30pm MD Walkman: This is kind of egg punky but I also hear yeast jazz inspiration
	2:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "niche pose" by "stan clear and the closing doors" This sounds a bit like what a "new wave" band would sound like on TV in the late 70s. That actually seems to be a modern subgenre.

	2:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "i wasn't made for war" by "peel dream magazine" What total shapeshifters this band is. Do they reinvent their sound each time out?

	12:44pm johnk77: off-stage
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ johnk77 @12:44 never met jack, but it might be in the water, because the flamin' groovies bassist (george alexander) was quite as a mouse himself.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:45 -quiet
	12:47pm Ignore Function: Happy New Year EFD and crew.

	1:24pm Alanthepainter: Thank you Evan Happy New Year!
	1:24pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @1:23 I feel like it should have a disclaimer, like "inspired by actual events"
	1:25pm LesleyK: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:12 Hi! 👋
	1:26pm LesleyK: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:17 To you and Kate too!

	1:30pm clarke: The Right Dummy -hmmm
	1:31pm hunterfelt: I've listened to so many abstract jazz covers of popular songs (and live Can albums) that I didn't even blink at that "Ride My See Saw" cover. I distinctly heard the melody of the chorus at several points!
	1:33pm Figgsrock: A New Year's Resolution to spend more time on social media could only be paired with a resolution to ram one's head into more doors.
	1:33pm Figgsrock: ↳ Figgsrock @1:33 Says the guy who has posted on five different platorms today.

	1:52pm MD Walkman: Happy New Year

	1:53pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @1:52 there ya go! all the best with patch-up!
	1:53pm MD Walkman: Hopefully no one is hung over today.
	1:55pm pp: ↳ Song: "deep purple is my heart" by "derek & the dirt" My first trenchant observation of 2025 -- notice the last few notes of Deep Purple is in My Heart is taken from Highway Star? In that little snip, more recognizable than that entire Ride My Seesaw cut.
	1:55pm efd: ↳ MD Walkman @1:53 A while ago I aged out of "drinking too much" and into "eating too much."
	1:56pm clarke: i haven't had booze in seven years, and yet, i still feel hungover.
	1:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:55 I'm in the "let's do both" sweet spot!
	1:57pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 those burgers are good, dude!
	1:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @1:57 A few laughs ...
	1:59pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:58 thankew donny
	1:59pm MD Walkman: I aged out of drinking too much as well.
	2:00pm thesecoronalives: it is some of the sweetest bed music on all of wfmu..
	2:03pm clarke: i can dig it, man. it's all right.
	2:07pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @1:53 ❤️
	2:08pm MD Walkman: Clarke, hydraate haha.
	2:08pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:07 apparently, it is a hexapod scene
	2:08pm listener phat in Lincoln: I quit drinking 14 years ago (I think, I always forget the year) and I still get hangovers, for some reason. Probably dehydrated.
	2:08pm clarke: ↳ Song: "anyway the wind" by "the woggles" NICE!!!
	2:09pm MD Walkman: quit in 2015 here.
	2:11pm clarke: ↳ MD Walkman @2:08 ha ha, riiighhht
	2:11pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @1:53 I do have a new band that's going to start gigging in February. I'm playing bass, which is good. I probably have no business playing guitar. Lol. Everyone can play very well (I'm probably the weakest link) and the drummer and I locked in at our first practice like we were reading each others' minds.
	2:12pm Evan near Baltimore: Hello all. Glad for this rare opportunity to listen to this show llve. I’m a bit surprised by the reaction to the Patrick Crowley song. Sounded like an instrumental cover of “ride my seesaw” pretty early, though I did go upstairs from where I was listening to check the playlist to confirm. Glad I “tuned in”. Lots of great music that is new to me.
	2:13pm money&pain: I love the Buzzcocks so much.
	2:13pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:11 this is good information, sir!
	2:13pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "harmony in my head" by "buzzcocks" What a totally rad tune.
	2:13pm efd: ↳ Evan near Baltimore @2:12 thanks for listening, fellow Evan!
	2:14pm eastvanhalen: ↳ Song: "harmony in my head" by "buzzcocks" ok, this one means it's time to get out of bed, hny all!
	2:14pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @2:13 in-deeeed.
	2:15pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:13 I'm freaking out, actually, at how good it is. It's more Dave Mandl than Michael Shelley. I'ma probably work on some pop/r&b stuff later this year, hopefully the drummer will join me.
	2:16pm MD Walkman: Has mastadon been around for a while? it feels like these new social media apps are popping up but nothing has really taken off... i remember there was a facebook replacement around 10 years ago but it never went anywhere.
	2:16pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:15 i'm sure we'll hear about it!
	2:16pm Saltonstall: Is this related to Slum of Legs?
	2:16pm clarke: what's facebook?
	2:16pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:16 How's your stuff going?
	2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "goldfishes" by "(+39)375-649-94-64 my telephone n... Oh, right, this band! Evan, remember, you have to say the band name at least twice during the mic break.
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Saltonstall @2:16 Whoa, is it? Slum of Legs is so good!
	2:17pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:16 wrote a little ditty, this morning - before i heard the news.
	2:18pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:16 I should just call them and make them say it themselves!
	2:18pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:17 I'm anxious to hear the stuff you've been working on.
	2:18pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:18 i wouldn't be too anxious! ha ha
	2:19pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @2:17 I have another possible project I may be undertaking, I'll email you about it. It's Game Theory related.
	2:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @2:18 How would you get their num -- OH! RIGHT!
	2:19pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:19 Miller Time!! cool!
	2:23pm Handy Haversack: You're a pro, efd. The best of the best.
	2:24pm Stevel: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:23 Excellent DJ goading. He actually went three times!
	2:26pm herb.nyc: Oh. Haven’t been listening to the bulk of Evans recent shows. But has he played Future Wife (?) song “alone for Christmas”(?)? If not, well, the longer he waits the less timely it is. So…
	2:27pm listener phat in Lincoln: Sunk
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: Well, it's not chain punk, you see.
	2:27pm Roberto: sunk
	2:27pm Hughie Considine: My son was a subway fanatic and he would play with his trains and say, "Fear of the closing doors, please. Beep boop beep boop beep boop. It was adorable.
	2:29pm Billygoat Jen: It did not sink in! :)))
	2:29pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "niche pose" by "stan clear and the closing doors" They have leapfrogged over Slowey & the Boats to be my second favorite band name, but still in the top spot: Quitty & the Don'ts
	2:29pm efd: ↳ Billygoat Jen @2:29 that's the way to go right there!
	2:30pm Saltonstall: Egg Punk= nerdy Devo-inspired compressed guitar and keyboard punk rock typically with Midwest origins. Liberal use of drum machines. Many one person bands. Duos too
	2:30pm medson: Hey Evan thanks for the driving tunes... Happy New Year one and all
	2:30pm MD Walkman: This is kind of egg punky but I also hear yeast jazz inspiration
	2:30pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "niche pose" by "stan clear and the closing doors" This sounds a bit like what a "new wave" band would sound like on TV in the late 70s. That actually seems to be a modern subgenre.
	2:31pm slugluv1313: greetings, EFD! WFMU family! Happy 2025! wishing the best, sending you all infinite positive energy been lurking, loving the show -- attempting to catch up on way-too-much, but thrilled to be home and listening with you all :)

	2:31pm medson: ↳ Hoboken Jack @2:31 Perfect.... Makes me smile
	2:32pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:30 if there had only been a show called... New Wave Theater....

	2:36pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile @2:34 Is he a Siberian... Husky?
	2:36pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "i wasn't made for war" by "peel dream magazine" I was in my kitchen and from that distance this sounded like Belle & Sebastian.
	2:36pm clarke: huskey!
	2:37pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "i wasn't made for war" by "peel dream magazine" What total shapeshifters this band is. Do they reinvent their sound each time out?
	2:37pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:36 not a bad ting.
	2:37pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ herb.nyc @2:26 Herby new year!!

	2:49pm Andres: Proceed as normal as usual.
	2:50pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "love -> building on fire (live at cbgb)" by "talk... This, however, is pretty good!
	2:51pm efd: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:49 it helps that this is one of my all-time favorite Talking Heads songs
	2:51pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ efd @2:51 It's a good one!

	2:54pm clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @2:53 l8r duuuude
	2:56pm Andres: ↳ Song: "patinando" by "rollets" spelling: patinaNdo I’ll guess that this is about roller disco and not ice skating. :)
