	9:33pm steve: Puig Destroyer. hilarious.
	9:44pm efd: Tug's really chewing up the scenery here! Hi everybody! Thanks for tuning in tonight!
	9:44pm Sybil: Brilliant set, EFD! Love is just like a baseball game, no? The only thing that I could have wished for is a tune sung by Tony C. ... Sad tale, that.
	9:45pm Alex of Chicago: Tug McGraw is such a baseball name.
	9:45pm efd: oh snap, Sybil! Bill Kelly actually gave me a Tony C single over the winter and I forgot all about it! Wait til next year, as they say...
	9:46pm efd: (also, thanks!)
	9:50pm Holly in NC: Sybil!!! Do you still have control of the blinky things?
	9:51pm Callieflower: If Casey were all that great, wouldn't they would have just intentionally walked him in that situation?
	9:52pm Loretta: hi Evan! hi everyone!! great to be here tonight!!!
	9:53pm JakeGould: This is the only version of “Casey at the Bat” I have been able to barely tolerate. So hey.
	9:53pm efd: Hi Loretta! Callie, you raise an excellent point.
	9:54pm Callieflower: I'm tearing apart this poem's logic!
	9:54pm Holly in NC: So love the row of cats (& dogs) in the comments...
	9:55pm efd: Evan "Funk" Davies, the pet lovers' favorite!
	9:55pm pacific standard simon: What a coincidence! I can't listen to the show tonight because the SF Giants are playing the Arizona Douchebags in a few minutes!
	9:56pm Stevel: Think I need to know about Trin Tran.
	9:57pm phat: Oh my. This london dirthole company is good.
	9:58pm Thierry: Some nuggets in the New bin!
	9:59pm efd: indeed, Thierry! I'm making up for last week's non-new bin show.
	9:59pm Stevel: phat: you got that right. Trying to think of what I DON'T like about LDC. Again, I know NOTHING!
	10:00pm phat: I've been digging on Sleaford Mods a LOT, too. Good new stuff makes me happy.
	10:02pm Danne D: Hi EFD and Everyone :) Thanks for playing Baseball Project EFD!
	10:07pm lou lou: something just sounded like my favorite fiery furnaces, no?
	10:07pm phat: That Tug McGraw track was torture, yes.
	10:07pm Uncle Michael: Hey hey holy mackerel...no doubt about it.
	10:08pm JakeGould: The Tug McGraw track was beautiful. Step off, haters.
	10:09pm fleep: Listening to Vin Scully right now. Tigers at Dodgers.
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: Yay!
	10:13pm steve: im with you Jake.
	10:13pm Droll: . o O ( Never enough ABBA... )
	10:14pm phat: ah, abba
	10:14pm steve: Abba! is there a baseball reference in here somewhere?
	10:14pm pacific standard simon: The greatest of all ABBA songs!
	10:15pm JakeGould: Thanks Steve. “Casey at the Bat” grates on me, but Tug’s reading perfectly captures how I think it should always be read: By some drunk guy at the bar.
	10:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: I found out just today that The Yayhoos cover at least one ABBA track.
	10:16pm efd: ha, not that I can think of steve! Welcome Droll, Uncle Michael, fleep, pss, Jake, lou lou, Danne, Stevel, phat, Holly, Alex, Mary in Cambridge, and all you lurkers!
	10:16pm Stevel: Heard the cover of Gaga's Bad Romance by EOS (WHO ARE THEY?) on Teenage Wasteland the other day. Very cool. Somehow the ABBA reminded me.
	10:16pm pacific standard simon: Vin Scully is almost enough to justify following the Dodgers -- almost. He IS the greatest, and he's been doing it since before any of us was born.
	10:17pm mariano: Lyle Lovett did a demented reading of part of Casey in the movie Short Cuts.
	10:18pm Courtney: Goddamn Dave!
	10:19pm Danne D: Dave's show was great last night - you should check out the archive if you didn't get a chance to hear it :)
	10:19pm pacific standard simon: Tim Lincecum is working that new porn-star mustache hard.
	10:20pm pacific standard simon: Whoops, just gave up a 3-run homer.
	10:21pm efd: Glad I kept him on my fantasy bench tonight!
	10:23pm Danne D: I manage to find all the worst closers :(
	10:23pm Holly in NC: Back! Oh, this is TOO opportune! Cry Baby : The Pedal That Rocks The World tells the story of the wah wah effect pedal, from its invention in 1966 to the present day. So good! vimeo.com...
	10:24pm Holly in NC: @pss I like your new avatar. Hi Danne!
	10:25pm steve: i could not agree more Danne. i may have to relisten to the whole thing. Phil Anselmo is such a character.
	10:26pm Josh Hamilton: Don't bro me man. Two thumbs. Up.
	10:27pm pacific standard simon: Thanks Holly -- I found it while doing a Google image search for My Little Pony mash-ups.
	10:27pm steve: thanks for sharing Holly. i gotta watch that.
	10:31pm mariano: Paul Barman... now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.
	10:32pm Holly in NC: @Steve - I think you'll like! @Josh - Did someone seriously say "bro" to you, here? "Bro" is my leaat favorite non-swear word, displacing even "moist". If anyone were to combine "reach out" and "bro" my eyeballs would pop out of my head & years of pent up angst would shatter the brick walls of my home. NOT kidding.
	10:32pm ! I X Key !: Evan "Funk" Davies is so awesome!
	10:35pm mariano: @Holly in NC: what about brony?
	10:35pm Stevel: Holly: I think it is unlikely to ever hear a credible, non-sarcastic utterance of "reach out, bro." For your sake, I certainly hope so.
	10:35pm pacific standard simon: Bro-doh-dee-oh-doh...
	10:37pm ! I X Key !: Reach out & lick a moist brony, bro
	10:38pm pacific standard simon: Neigh!
	10:40pm Alex of Chicago: There was nothing wrong with the word bro until it was associated with frat boys.
	10:41pm Callieflower: Evan is a wonderfully sweet supporter of good crowd sourcing projects <3
	10:41pm phat: He's "swingin'"
	10:42pm SteveL: "I'm swingin', thanks!" Bow down!
	10:42pm mariano: Speaking of crowd sourcing, what ever happened to the FMU documentary?
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Any swingin' Tom, Dick or Harry...
	10:42pm earrie: Zapp Branigan - with extra half syllables.
	10:43pm efd: pretty sure it's coming out later this year, mariano!
	10:43pm Callieflower: Action Army! With hands you can pose! And karate chop action!
	10:43pm Droll: [Boggling over "Automated Data Processing" circa 1966] OOOHH!! Nevermind computers -- Monkees!! Boyce & Hart!
	10:44pm mariano: Glad to hear, @efd, thanks!
	10:44pm JakeGould: This show is making me feel nostalgic. Now I just heard that J&R Music World is closing. www.nydailynews.com...
	10:44pm Holly in NC: @mariano - I do not understand Bronies, but they do not disgust me. I actually babysit a 6th grade Brony, and his interest in MLP is really, really...intense. And he is an exceptionally handsome, polite, non-geeky young man, with tons of girls in his class totally crushed out on him. Did y'all know that Mick Collins is a Furry? Again, to each their own. @IXKey - :-) @Alex - I'd never heard "bro" til a few years ago, and then it was always used by sterotypical awful drunk frat boys & wannabes, and now it's everywhere!
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember watching The Monkees on Saturday mornings and some of the songs they played.
	10:45pm mariano: @Jake: Noooooo! Say it ain't so!
	10:47pm JakeGould: And the whole “Pearl Paint” building is up for sale. tribecacitizen.com...
	10:47pm Stevel: "Mike Nesmith and ALL [none] of the Monkeys!"
	10:47pm bobdoesthings: @mariano.. don't fear.. just get your shit on amazon bro!
	10:47pm P-90: Harry Harrison was (is) one of a kind, a classic
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: Pesky kids and their iPhones. Who needs paint or a tape deck anymore. *Just bought a tape deck.
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: If he were less full of shit, he's be less entertaining.
	10:48pm Stevel: Simple Circuit is great. Lots of #1 hits here tonight.
	10:48pm bobdoesthings: who buys paint anymore.. just use an app to paint.
	10:48pm ! I X Key !: We want a documentary, not a documitcher
	10:49pm Stevel: Uncle Michael: An inspiration to us all!
	10:49pm earrie: @Holly in NC - How would you know that about someone if not through 1st hand experience in the sack, I wonder?
	10:49pm JakeGould: @bobdoesthings, what if you work in NYC & want to take a lunch break and actually see things before you buy them? During my first high school job working for some crappy city agency, that place was a relative oasis.
	10:50pm Callieflower: To be fair, there's a difference between kids who are not letting gender norms dictate which shows they love and the 30 year old men who buy up all the toys and make the cute kids show sexual. Yay to the little boys who aren't afraid to love the show, though!
	10:50pm pacific standard simon: Giants' Morse hit a solo homer.
	10:50pm Uncle Michael: I mean it. It's Harry's smarmy insincerity that endears him to me.
	10:50pm bobdoesthings: @jake ... dude.. bro.. I'm being serious here
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: Cubs win.
	10:51pm bobdoesthings: @jake.. ahh sorry.. I figured adding "bro" to a sentence would instantly invalidate it for all.. I'm joking around
	10:52pm Alex of Chicago: In heaven, my team plays at Coors Field every day.
	10:52pm JakeGould: @bob, cool. People ask me why I have museum memberships & like to go galleries. You know why? Those are the last places in NYC you can creatively slack in. Why WFMU is great too.
	10:52pm mariano: @Holly: I gained some real respect for the bronies when I read recently about the "Brony Wars" on 4chan. Apparently the bronies are the only group to successfully take on 4chan, they wound up with their own MLP page on the site. @bob: I got the joke, but not without a twinge of guilt, since I've been known to order from Amazon.
	10:53pm P-90: Harry H. isn't insincere; he occupies that mystical plane where smarmy, full of shit, and sincerity are one
	10:53pm pacific standard simon: About time, UM!
	10:54pm Alex of Chicago: Kickstarter for the Brony vs. 4chan documentary
	10:54pm Holly in NC: @earrie - If you were inquiring re Mick C's Furry status, he's quite open about it in interviews & on Twitter. Me, I could never be a Furry for many reasons, most importantly (aside from lack of desire) because I don't deal well with temperatures over 65F. I'd die in one of those costumes! ;-)
	10:54pm mariano: @Holly: sorry, took me a second to internalize that: THE Mick Collins? Ok, must accept. Must...accept...
	10:54pm pacific standard simon: It's already on Youtube, Alex.
	10:55pm Uncle Michael: Third win, smart guy.
	10:55pm P-90: @Alex: I'm in! Do I get a premium?
	10:55pm pacific standard simon: I don't know if you'd call me a brony, but I do watch the cartoons and read the comic.
	10:57pm JakeGould: Bronies just seem weird.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: I have dental work in the AM...need to be well-rested. Night all...thanks for the music, Evan.
	10:58pm efd: don't envy you, UM! Sleep well and good luck tomorrow.
	10:59pm ! I X Key !: ! My local grocer doesn't even have fucking SPAGHETTI, so that's one thing I've gotten from Amazon (o: @HollyinNC: ! (o:
	10:59pm Callieflower: GN, UM!
	10:59pm Courtney: Goddamn Doug!
	11:00pm bobdoesthings: for others who are wondering.. whatisabrony.com
	11:00pm earrie: Oh. On Twitter and in interviews.
	11:00pm mariano: @PSS: there's a Brony Wars doc? Good to know, must search it out. Just found out about it recently. My only exposure to MLP comes from my 6 y.o. niece, who seems fairly mesmerized by it. Makes my job easier when I'm looking after her!
	11:00pm P-90: Night night, Pufnstuf Dude
	11:01pm pacific standard simon: Timmy and the Giants are getting kicked around pretty good -- it's 5-1, D-Bags.
	11:01pm Holly in NC: @pss - My young Brony friend (yes he's young, but WAY older than other non-Brony MLP viewers - his 7 y/o sister w. Down Syndrome doesn't care for it anymore) gets up at 5:30 am everyday to watch MLP for 1 1/2 hours before he needs to make breakfast & get ready for school.
	11:03pm pacific standard simon: @mariano - It's a Pony documentary, but the first part covers the 4chan battle in detail.
	11:03pm Callieflower: I never tire of your live overdub, Evan
	11:06pm Callieflower: Senya Ru-bee-nos
	11:07pm pacific standard simon: Holly, my sister-in-law teaches autistic kids -- it seems that obsessions with cartoon worlds in general and Disney specifically are common. Especially Pinocchio.
	11:09pm P-90: I'm not a Brony, but I am Brony-friendly. Why hate on them because they're um, ...different?
	11:10pm Alex of Chicago: I'm not going to click on this WikiFur link. At least not while on the company VPN.
	11:11pm pacific standard simon: Wise choice, Alex.
	11:13pm mariano: @Alex: what's your company got against a little online yiffing?
	11:14pm Holly in NC: @pss - I just recently read a great NYT article written by the father of a severely locked-in, non communicative, non verbal autistic child, said child ended up being able to communicate through Disney movies. Really interesting & moving! www.nytimes.com...
	11:18pm P-90: WikiFur looks safe-for-work, what's the big deal? I did not know there was a "Motor City Fur Con" in Michigan this weekend. Hmm...
	11:20pm pacific standard simon: Thank you for that link, Holly -- I'll pass it along.
	11:21pm P-90: ...hotel rooms all booked up for Motor City Fur Con 2014. I've heard that's QUITE the partying crowd
	11:26pm pacific standard simon: Well crap -- another Arizona homer -- it's 7-2 now. Good thing YOU benched Timmy, Evan.
	11:26pm Holly in NC: @P-90 - I bet Mick will be there if he's not on tour!
	11:29pm mariano: @Holly: stop! Trying to piece together my shattered illusions!
	11:30pm Alex of Chicago: The furry references in MC's songs go way back. Far as I know, he's more into the comic book scene. Not the type showing up at conventions.
	11:32pm P-90: @Holly: I'm with you, I can't get past the idea of how hot and sweaty those costumes must be. Mick C. must not mind, to each his own...
	11:33pm Danne D: oops forgot to say hi Holly :) been in distracto mode tonight :(
	11:37pm Danne D: The FMU-fan furry I know has been cool at the FMU events I've met them at.
	11:37pm Holly in NC: BTW, Mick C's twitter is highly entertaining - great mix of musings on music, sci-fi, Detroit, politics in general, whimsy, fun facts - @mariano, I think you'd like :-) Gories one of my fave bands ever, and the Dirtbombs certainly have great moments.
	11:41pm Thierry: How 'bout a little Adam WarRock track?
	11:41pm P-90: "Horndog Fest is essentially a comic for people who are into touching animals...yes, I am into furries. And I do go to the conventions." --Mick Collins, quoted in "Detroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Rock 'n' Roll in America's Loudest City" by Steve Moller
	11:43pm Alex of Chicago: Corrected. In any case, let's talk about something else next time.
	11:43pm Danne D: wow this is so very Cars
	11:44pm mariano: Horndog Fest! Now it all makes sense. Such...disturbing...sense.
	11:45pm bobdoesthings: Oh hey guys... I got adopted a cat a little over a week ago.. and now this every night imgur.com...
	11:46pm Holly in NC: @efd, sorry for hijacking the board, not purposeful. @Danne - re 1-800-band - true. And good!
	11:46pm Danne D: Gato :)
	11:46pm bobdoesthings: ugh grammar i do not
	11:47pm Alex of Chicago: Fred Cole!
	11:47pm pacific standard simon: What, you wanna talk about FOODIES?
	11:47pm P-90: that track WAS uber-Cars, wasn't it??
	11:48pm Thierry: Dead Moon, never forget them!
	11:48pm pacific standard simon: Posey hits a solo shot!
	11:50pm efd: Thierry, saw your request earlier - don't have anything handy, unfortunately, and need to get caught up on his recent releases but I'll get some on during an upcoming show!
	11:50pm earrie: I heard a great interview this eve with an author about rigged high frequency trading on Wall St.. Best thing I heard all week.
	11:50pm P-90: @BobDoes: great shot!
	11:50pm earrie: www.cbc.ca...
	11:50pm Holly in NC: @bobdoesthings - BEST imgur ever!!!!!!!!!!!! That's fantastic, bravo. What's your buddy's name? @efd - wow. Am I the only person who just now realized the intro to this Dead Moon song relys heavily on Let's Active's "Every Word Means No"? How is Fred doing post-surgery, anyone know? bonus Let's Active with puppy, just because: www.youtube.com...
	11:52pm bobdoesthings: @holly .. i named him Lucas.. although I call him Luke
	11:53pm Alex of Chicago: @earrie Can you pass The Turing Test?
	11:53pm efd: didn't pick up the Let's Active thing this time around but will listen out for it next time. I saw a Facebook update a few days ago that said Fred came through the surgery fine so hopefully he'll have a smooth recovery.
	11:53pm efd: @bobdoesthings love that pic!!
	11:54pm Alex of Chicago: @efd That's what I saw. The last news was good.
	11:56pm bobdoesthings: thanks! although.. worst part about cats. "oh you're doing something.. let me fucking fuck that up.. I'll just sit here and mash your keyboard.. cool huh?"
	11:57pm Holly in NC: Lucas. Good name. Reminds me of Suzanne Vega (I know, Luka) & Winona Ryder's only good movie other than Heathers & Mermaids . IMHO.
	11:57pm earrie: @Alex. Me as a robot or in detecting robots? Detecting lightning speed packet sniffing robots?
	11:57pm mariano: This Carsick song's guitar riff reminds me of a Stereolab song, can't remember which.
	11:58pm earrie: Robots are inhumane. That's usually a tell.
	11:58pm Danne D: Thanks for another fantastic show Evan :) Have a good night everyone :)
	11:58pm efd: thanks for listening everyone! See you next week!
	11:59pm Holly in NC: @bobdoesthings - It does not get better. it gets much, much worse. Currently sitting on 1 sq foot patch of king size bed, 1 wee cat somehow has all contiguous space ;-)
	11:59pm Alex of Chicago: Thanks.
	11:59pm Thierry: Great show, efd! Hard to deal with the time difference, but nice to catch it live!
	11:59pm P-90: @BobDoesThings: Are you sure he's not just trying to get to the playlist page?
	11:59pm Callieflower: Have a wonderful evening and a wonderful week, everyone <3
	11:59pm Danne D: Bye Holly :)
	11:59pm mariano: Thanks Evan, bronies!
	12:00am Holly in NC: Thank you, efd!
	12:00am bobdoesthings: @holly... ohh boy. I was hoping he'd mellow eventually.. @p90.. not sure.. I'll need to observe further. hey great show evan!!
	12:01am P-90: Thnx agin, efd!

Listener comments!

	9:03pm Mary in Cambridge: Bring on the hits.
	9:08pm Mikey: Woke up Dizzy. Get me on the straightened path efd.
	9:09pm Alex of Chicago: It was almost 60 here today. Play ball!
	9:19pm Holly in NC: What's cool is that I'm sitting looking out a window at the old (real,) Durham Bulls ball park, 1/2 block down the street :-)
	9:20pm Thierry from France: Hello all! It's been a while. How much I miss baseball, a great American art!
	9:24pm Callieflower: Good evening, everyone :)
	9:24pm Stevel: Circumventing the rules NOT= cheating!
	9:26pm JakeGould: This playlist is batting above the Mendoza line.
	9:29pm Alex of Chicago: This reminds me of the Zambonis hockey concept album.
	9:31pm andrewfetter: I go back and forth with Death Cab, but I am really liking this song!
	9:32pm Holly in NC: @Alex - I adore the Zambonis!
	9:33pm steve: Puig Destroyer. hilarious.
	9:44pm efd: Tug's really chewing up the scenery here! Hi everybody! Thanks for tuning in tonight!
	9:44pm Sybil: Brilliant set, EFD! Love is just like a baseball game, no? The only thing that I could have wished for is a tune sung by Tony C. ... Sad tale, that.
	9:45pm Alex of Chicago: Tug McGraw is such a baseball name.
	9:45pm efd: oh snap, Sybil! Bill Kelly actually gave me a Tony C single over the winter and I forgot all about it! Wait til next year, as they say...
	9:46pm efd: (also, thanks!)
	9:50pm Holly in NC: Sybil!!! Do you still have control of the blinky things?
	9:51pm Callieflower: If Casey were all that great, wouldn't they would have just intentionally walked him in that situation?
	9:52pm Loretta: hi Evan! hi everyone!! great to be here tonight!!!
	9:53pm JakeGould: This is the only version of “Casey at the Bat” I have been able to barely tolerate. So hey.
	9:53pm efd: Hi Loretta! Callie, you raise an excellent point.
	9:54pm Callieflower: I'm tearing apart this poem's logic!
	9:54pm Holly in NC: So love the row of cats (& dogs) in the comments...
	9:55pm efd: Evan "Funk" Davies, the pet lovers' favorite!
	9:55pm pacific standard simon: What a coincidence! I can't listen to the show tonight because the SF Giants are playing the Arizona Douchebags in a few minutes!
	9:56pm Stevel: Think I need to know about Trin Tran.
	9:57pm phat: Oh my. This london dirthole company is good.
	9:58pm Thierry: Some nuggets in the New bin!
	9:59pm efd: indeed, Thierry! I'm making up for last week's non-new bin show.
	9:59pm Stevel: phat: you got that right. Trying to think of what I DON'T like about LDC. Again, I know NOTHING!
	10:00pm phat: I've been digging on Sleaford Mods a LOT, too. Good new stuff makes me happy.
	10:02pm Danne D: Hi EFD and Everyone :) Thanks for playing Baseball Project EFD!
	10:07pm lou lou: something just sounded like my favorite fiery furnaces, no?
	10:07pm phat: That Tug McGraw track was torture, yes.
	10:07pm Uncle Michael: Hey hey holy mackerel...no doubt about it.
	10:08pm JakeGould: The Tug McGraw track was beautiful. Step off, haters.
	10:09pm fleep: Listening to Vin Scully right now. Tigers at Dodgers.
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: Yay!
	10:13pm steve: im with you Jake.
	10:13pm Droll: . o O ( Never enough ABBA... )
	10:14pm phat: ah, abba
	10:14pm steve: Abba! is there a baseball reference in here somewhere?
	10:14pm pacific standard simon: The greatest of all ABBA songs!
	10:15pm JakeGould: Thanks Steve. “Casey at the Bat” grates on me, but Tug’s reading perfectly captures how I think it should always be read: By some drunk guy at the bar.
	10:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: I found out just today that The Yayhoos cover at least one ABBA track.
	10:16pm efd: ha, not that I can think of steve! Welcome Droll, Uncle Michael, fleep, pss, Jake, lou lou, Danne, Stevel, phat, Holly, Alex, Mary in Cambridge, and all you lurkers!
	10:16pm Stevel: Heard the cover of Gaga's Bad Romance by EOS (WHO ARE THEY?) on Teenage Wasteland the other day. Very cool. Somehow the ABBA reminded me.
	10:16pm pacific standard simon: Vin Scully is almost enough to justify following the Dodgers -- almost. He IS the greatest, and he's been doing it since before any of us was born.
	10:17pm mariano: Lyle Lovett did a demented reading of part of Casey in the movie Short Cuts.
	10:18pm Courtney: Goddamn Dave!
	10:19pm Danne D: Dave's show was great last night - you should check out the archive if you didn't get a chance to hear it :)
	10:19pm pacific standard simon: Tim Lincecum is working that new porn-star mustache hard.
	10:20pm pacific standard simon: Whoops, just gave up a 3-run homer.
	10:21pm efd: Glad I kept him on my fantasy bench tonight!
	10:23pm Danne D: I manage to find all the worst closers :(
	10:23pm Holly in NC: Back! Oh, this is TOO opportune! Cry Baby : The Pedal That Rocks The World tells the story of the wah wah effect pedal, from its invention in 1966 to the present day. So good! vimeo.com...
	10:24pm Holly in NC: @pss I like your new avatar. Hi Danne!
	10:25pm steve: i could not agree more Danne. i may have to relisten to the whole thing. Phil Anselmo is such a character.
	10:26pm Josh Hamilton: Don't bro me man. Two thumbs. Up.
	10:27pm pacific standard simon: Thanks Holly -- I found it while doing a Google image search for My Little Pony mash-ups.
	10:27pm steve: thanks for sharing Holly. i gotta watch that.
	10:31pm mariano: Paul Barman... now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.
	10:32pm Holly in NC: @Steve - I think you'll like! @Josh - Did someone seriously say "bro" to you, here? "Bro" is my leaat favorite non-swear word, displacing even "moist". If anyone were to combine "reach out" and "bro" my eyeballs would pop out of my head & years of pent up angst would shatter the brick walls of my home. NOT kidding.
	10:32pm ! I X Key !: Evan "Funk" Davies is so awesome!
	10:35pm mariano: @Holly in NC: what about brony?
	10:35pm Stevel: Holly: I think it is unlikely to ever hear a credible, non-sarcastic utterance of "reach out, bro." For your sake, I certainly hope so.
	10:35pm pacific standard simon: Bro-doh-dee-oh-doh...
	10:37pm ! I X Key !: Reach out & lick a moist brony, bro
	10:38pm pacific standard simon: Neigh!
	10:40pm Alex of Chicago: There was nothing wrong with the word bro until it was associated with frat boys.
	10:41pm Callieflower: Evan is a wonderfully sweet supporter of good crowd sourcing projects <3
	10:41pm phat: He's "swingin'"
	10:42pm SteveL: "I'm swingin', thanks!" Bow down!
	10:42pm mariano: Speaking of crowd sourcing, what ever happened to the FMU documentary?
	10:42pm Uncle Michael: Any swingin' Tom, Dick or Harry...
	10:42pm earrie: Zapp Branigan - with extra half syllables.
	10:43pm efd: pretty sure it's coming out later this year, mariano!
	10:43pm Callieflower: Action Army! With hands you can pose! And karate chop action!
	10:43pm Droll: [Boggling over "Automated Data Processing" circa 1966] OOOHH!! Nevermind computers -- Monkees!! Boyce & Hart!
	10:44pm mariano: Glad to hear, @efd, thanks!
	10:44pm JakeGould: This show is making me feel nostalgic. Now I just heard that J&R Music World is closing. www.nydailynews.com...
	10:44pm Holly in NC: @mariano - I do not understand Bronies, but they do not disgust me. I actually babysit a 6th grade Brony, and his interest in MLP is really, really...intense. And he is an exceptionally handsome, polite, non-geeky young man, with tons of girls in his class totally crushed out on him. Did y'all know that Mick Collins is a Furry? Again, to each their own. @IXKey - :-) @Alex - I'd never heard "bro" til a few years ago, and then it was always used by sterotypical awful drunk frat boys & wannabes, and now it's everywhere!
	10:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember watching The Monkees on Saturday mornings and some of the songs they played.
	10:45pm mariano: @Jake: Noooooo! Say it ain't so!
	10:47pm JakeGould: And the whole “Pearl Paint” building is up for sale. tribecacitizen.com...
	10:47pm Stevel: "Mike Nesmith and ALL [none] of the Monkeys!"
	10:47pm bobdoesthings: @mariano.. don't fear.. just get your shit on amazon bro!
	10:47pm P-90: Harry Harrison was (is) one of a kind, a classic
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: Pesky kids and their iPhones. Who needs paint or a tape deck anymore. *Just bought a tape deck.
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: If he were less full of shit, he's be less entertaining.
	10:48pm Stevel: Simple Circuit is great. Lots of #1 hits here tonight.
	10:48pm bobdoesthings: who buys paint anymore.. just use an app to paint.
	10:48pm ! I X Key !: We want a documentary, not a documitcher
	10:49pm Stevel: Uncle Michael: An inspiration to us all!
	10:49pm earrie: @Holly in NC - How would you know that about someone if not through 1st hand experience in the sack, I wonder?
	10:49pm JakeGould: @bobdoesthings, what if you work in NYC & want to take a lunch break and actually see things before you buy them? During my first high school job working for some crappy city agency, that place was a relative oasis.
	10:50pm Callieflower: To be fair, there's a difference between kids who are not letting gender norms dictate which shows they love and the 30 year old men who buy up all the toys and make the cute kids show sexual. Yay to the little boys who aren't afraid to love the show, though!
	10:50pm pacific standard simon: Giants' Morse hit a solo homer.
	10:50pm Uncle Michael: I mean it. It's Harry's smarmy insincerity that endears him to me.
	10:50pm bobdoesthings: @jake ... dude.. bro.. I'm being serious here
	10:51pm Uncle Michael: Cubs win.
	10:51pm bobdoesthings: @jake.. ahh sorry.. I figured adding "bro" to a sentence would instantly invalidate it for all.. I'm joking around
	10:52pm Alex of Chicago: In heaven, my team plays at Coors Field every day.
	10:52pm JakeGould: @bob, cool. People ask me why I have museum memberships & like to go galleries. You know why? Those are the last places in NYC you can creatively slack in. Why WFMU is great too.
	10:52pm mariano: @Holly: I gained some real respect for the bronies when I read recently about the "Brony Wars" on 4chan. Apparently the bronies are the only group to successfully take on 4chan, they wound up with their own MLP page on the site. @bob: I got the joke, but not without a twinge of guilt, since I've been known to order from Amazon.
	10:53pm P-90: Harry H. isn't insincere; he occupies that mystical plane where smarmy, full of shit, and sincerity are one
	10:53pm pacific standard simon: About time, UM!
	10:54pm Alex of Chicago: Kickstarter for the Brony vs. 4chan documentary
	10:54pm Holly in NC: @earrie - If you were inquiring re Mick C's Furry status, he's quite open about it in interviews & on Twitter. Me, I could never be a Furry for many reasons, most importantly (aside from lack of desire) because I don't deal well with temperatures over 65F. I'd die in one of those costumes! ;-)
	10:54pm mariano: @Holly: sorry, took me a second to internalize that: THE Mick Collins? Ok, must accept. Must...accept...
	10:54pm pacific standard simon: It's already on Youtube, Alex.
	10:55pm Uncle Michael: Third win, smart guy.
	10:55pm P-90: @Alex: I'm in! Do I get a premium?
	10:55pm pacific standard simon: I don't know if you'd call me a brony, but I do watch the cartoons and read the comic.
	10:57pm JakeGould: Bronies just seem weird.
	10:57pm Uncle Michael: I have dental work in the AM...need to be well-rested. Night all...thanks for the music, Evan.
	10:58pm efd: don't envy you, UM! Sleep well and good luck tomorrow.
	10:59pm ! I X Key !: ! My local grocer doesn't even have fucking SPAGHETTI, so that's one thing I've gotten from Amazon (o: @HollyinNC: ! (o:
	10:59pm Callieflower: GN, UM!
	10:59pm Courtney: Goddamn Doug!
	11:00pm bobdoesthings: for others who are wondering.. whatisabrony.com
	11:00pm earrie: Oh. On Twitter and in interviews.
	11:00pm mariano: @PSS: there's a Brony Wars doc? Good to know, must search it out. Just found out about it recently. My only exposure to MLP comes from my 6 y.o. niece, who seems fairly mesmerized by it. Makes my job easier when I'm looking after her!
	11:00pm P-90: Night night, Pufnstuf Dude
	11:01pm pacific standard simon: Timmy and the Giants are getting kicked around pretty good -- it's 5-1, D-Bags.
	11:01pm Holly in NC: @pss - My young Brony friend (yes he's young, but WAY older than other non-Brony MLP viewers - his 7 y/o sister w. Down Syndrome doesn't care for it anymore) gets up at 5:30 am everyday to watch MLP for 1 1/2 hours before he needs to make breakfast & get ready for school.
	11:03pm pacific standard simon: @mariano - It's a Pony documentary, but the first part covers the 4chan battle in detail.
	11:03pm Callieflower: I never tire of your live overdub, Evan
	11:06pm Callieflower: Senya Ru-bee-nos
	11:07pm pacific standard simon: Holly, my sister-in-law teaches autistic kids -- it seems that obsessions with cartoon worlds in general and Disney specifically are common. Especially Pinocchio.
	11:09pm P-90: I'm not a Brony, but I am Brony-friendly. Why hate on them because they're um, ...different?
	11:10pm Alex of Chicago: I'm not going to click on this WikiFur link. At least not while on the company VPN.
	11:11pm pacific standard simon: Wise choice, Alex.
	11:13pm mariano: @Alex: what's your company got against a little online yiffing?
	11:14pm Holly in NC: @pss - I just recently read a great NYT article written by the father of a severely locked-in, non communicative, non verbal autistic child, said child ended up being able to communicate through Disney movies. Really interesting & moving! www.nytimes.com...
	11:18pm P-90: WikiFur looks safe-for-work, what's the big deal? I did not know there was a "Motor City Fur Con" in Michigan this weekend. Hmm...
	11:20pm pacific standard simon: Thank you for that link, Holly -- I'll pass it along.
	11:21pm P-90: ...hotel rooms all booked up for Motor City Fur Con 2014. I've heard that's QUITE the partying crowd
	11:26pm pacific standard simon: Well crap -- another Arizona homer -- it's 7-2 now. Good thing YOU benched Timmy, Evan.
	11:26pm Holly in NC: @P-90 - I bet Mick will be there if he's not on tour!
	11:29pm mariano: @Holly: stop! Trying to piece together my shattered illusions!
	11:30pm Alex of Chicago: The furry references in MC's songs go way back. Far as I know, he's more into the comic book scene. Not the type showing up at conventions.
	11:32pm P-90: @Holly: I'm with you, I can't get past the idea of how hot and sweaty those costumes must be. Mick C. must not mind, to each his own...
	11:33pm Danne D: oops forgot to say hi Holly :) been in distracto mode tonight :(
	11:37pm Danne D: The FMU-fan furry I know has been cool at the FMU events I've met them at.
	11:37pm Holly in NC: BTW, Mick C's twitter is highly entertaining - great mix of musings on music, sci-fi, Detroit, politics in general, whimsy, fun facts - @mariano, I think you'd like :-) Gories one of my fave bands ever, and the Dirtbombs certainly have great moments.
	11:41pm Thierry: How 'bout a little Adam WarRock track?
	11:41pm P-90: "Horndog Fest is essentially a comic for people who are into touching animals...yes, I am into furries. And I do go to the conventions." --Mick Collins, quoted in "Detroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Rock 'n' Roll in America's Loudest City" by Steve Moller
	11:43pm Alex of Chicago: Corrected. In any case, let's talk about something else next time.
	11:43pm Danne D: wow this is so very Cars
	11:44pm mariano: Horndog Fest! Now it all makes sense. Such...disturbing...sense.
	11:45pm bobdoesthings: Oh hey guys... I got adopted a cat a little over a week ago.. and now this every night imgur.com...
	11:46pm Holly in NC: @efd, sorry for hijacking the board, not purposeful. @Danne - re 1-800-band - true. And good!
	11:46pm Danne D: Gato :)
	11:46pm bobdoesthings: ugh grammar i do not
	11:47pm Alex of Chicago: Fred Cole!
	11:47pm pacific standard simon: What, you wanna talk about FOODIES?
	11:47pm P-90: that track WAS uber-Cars, wasn't it??
	11:48pm Thierry: Dead Moon, never forget them!
	11:48pm pacific standard simon: Posey hits a solo shot!
	11:50pm efd: Thierry, saw your request earlier - don't have anything handy, unfortunately, and need to get caught up on his recent releases but I'll get some on during an upcoming show!
	11:50pm earrie: I heard a great interview this eve with an author about rigged high frequency trading on Wall St.. Best thing I heard all week.
	11:50pm P-90: @BobDoes: great shot!
	11:50pm earrie: www.cbc.ca...
	11:50pm Holly in NC: @bobdoesthings - BEST imgur ever!!!!!!!!!!!! That's fantastic, bravo. What's your buddy's name? @efd - wow. Am I the only person who just now realized the intro to this Dead Moon song relys heavily on Let's Active's "Every Word Means No"? How is Fred doing post-surgery, anyone know? bonus Let's Active with puppy, just because: www.youtube.com...
	11:52pm bobdoesthings: @holly .. i named him Lucas.. although I call him Luke
	11:53pm Alex of Chicago: @earrie Can you pass The Turing Test?
	11:53pm efd: didn't pick up the Let's Active thing this time around but will listen out for it next time. I saw a Facebook update a few days ago that said Fred came through the surgery fine so hopefully he'll have a smooth recovery.
	11:53pm efd: @bobdoesthings love that pic!!
	11:54pm Alex of Chicago: @efd That's what I saw. The last news was good.
	11:56pm bobdoesthings: thanks! although.. worst part about cats. "oh you're doing something.. let me fucking fuck that up.. I'll just sit here and mash your keyboard.. cool huh?"
	11:57pm Holly in NC: Lucas. Good name. Reminds me of Suzanne Vega (I know, Luka) & Winona Ryder's only good movie other than Heathers & Mermaids . IMHO.
	11:57pm earrie: @Alex. Me as a robot or in detecting robots? Detecting lightning speed packet sniffing robots?
	11:57pm mariano: This Carsick song's guitar riff reminds me of a Stereolab song, can't remember which.
	11:58pm earrie: Robots are inhumane. That's usually a tell.
	11:58pm Danne D: Thanks for another fantastic show Evan :) Have a good night everyone :)
	11:58pm efd: thanks for listening everyone! See you next week!
	11:59pm Holly in NC: @bobdoesthings - It does not get better. it gets much, much worse. Currently sitting on 1 sq foot patch of king size bed, 1 wee cat somehow has all contiguous space ;-)
	11:59pm Alex of Chicago: Thanks.
	11:59pm Thierry: Great show, efd! Hard to deal with the time difference, but nice to catch it live!
	11:59pm P-90: @BobDoesThings: Are you sure he's not just trying to get to the playlist page?
	11:59pm Callieflower: Have a wonderful evening and a wonderful week, everyone <3
	11:59pm Danne D: Bye Holly :)
	11:59pm mariano: Thanks Evan, bronies!
	12:00am Holly in NC: Thank you, efd!
	12:00am bobdoesthings: @holly... ohh boy. I was hoping he'd mellow eventually.. @p90.. not sure.. I'll need to observe further. hey great show evan!!
	12:01am P-90: Thnx agin, efd!
