	9:39pm efd: you've come to the right place, Alex!
	9:40pm MikeY: Way cool, Ive only listened to his show via archives I just started listening here full time 3 or so years ago.
	9:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: VOL. +⤵
	9:43pm efd: Rev Rabbit, your emojicon is not showing up on my WFMU computer.
	9:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (volume up!)
	9:44pm bobdoesthings: yeh what rev said.. i thought it was just my crap laptop
	9:45pm bobdoesthings: haha or im correct and confused.
	9:45pm Chop Scott: EFD! Great to hear this--good call to capture and get outta the tent for the last recording--Cheers!
	9:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ( - interesting to know, efd, Thx - it's a curved arrow, like 'turning up' - from the Mac character palette...)
	9:46pm efd: nah I think you guys are right... I just pushed it up during the transition between songs. Thanks for the alert!
	9:46pm fleep: And on this PC, it's a curved arrow pointing down, confusing.
	9:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Haha! I just mean: Yay! I'm turning this UP !
	9:47pm efd: hey Scott! Plus seeing this set totally gave me the energy to get through the final hours of the final night!
	9:47pm cheri: evan, the hookworms are real awsome!
	9:47pm Firebottle: Wow, cool schtuff. Thanx!
	9:48pm Loretta: good evening everyone..... looking forward to the HOOKWORMS set!
	9:52pm Alex of Chicago: Is this off the board, or just really really great mics?
	9:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (@fleep: curved arrow clockwise like a knob.) ...Hookworms !
	9:53pm efd: Alex, it's off the board. Each stage had cables dropped that we were able to plug our digital recorders into.
	9:53pm efd: since we're official radio partners and all.
	9:57pm cee dubbles: HOLY SHIT!! The most amazeballs set!!
	9:59pm efd: see??!?!?!!!?!
	9:59pm bobdoesthings: nope. hear!!!
	10:00pm efd: that too! :)
	10:01pm Sybil: Good Wednesday, all! Holly, I'm late catching up with the situation, but glad to read some good news. There should only be good news from here on in. (The important blinky things blink in agreement.)
	10:02pm -andrew-: This is so great Evan, thanks for getting this on the air!
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: Do Hookworms cover Ringworm?
	10:03pm Sybil: Uncle Michael, you read my mind.
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: I use an earworm for that.
	10:05pm efd: it's a new sound, from deep inside the ground.
	10:05pm common: just had to say that hookworms are one of my favorite bands of the past 5 years. thank you evan and hookworms
	10:07pm Ignore Function: I'm hooked.
	10:08pm efd: you're welcome common (and andrew)! Believe me, I'm thrilled that everything worked out and I'm able to air it tonight!
	10:10pm Sybil: Mentioned already, but the sound quality is amazing. Plus, I love this one (Off Screen).
	10:11pm Sybil: but I forgot how much I hate the "math question".
	10:11pm MikeY: Never heard these guys b4 Quite tripped out Great with a 420 special
	10:12pm efd: thanks Sybil!
	10:13pm efd: if you created a Friendship Society profile and logged in you'd never have to answer another "math question" again (on this website).
	10:14pm Sybil: @efd: almost worth creating another danged profile for that!
	10:16pm fleep: Oh my.
	10:16pm cheri: thanks evan for this great set!
	10:19pm cee dubbles: I'm too 420'd to remember my 10 year mouse log in - but Maff ain't hard. Sitting thru this set is - I'm pogo-ing around the palace
	10:20pm Listener Sybil: All right, efd, only for you would I create YET ANOTHER internet profile. Next you'll have me coming out to Jersey City as a volunteer during the marathon. Wait, doesn't that require actual existence in a physical space? I once lived in Jersey City... long ago...
	10:21pm -andrew-: Goddamn!
	10:23pm Stevel: Do I have to be the first one to make the "Hookworm High" joke? "Hook 'em Worms!!!!"
	10:24pm JakeGould: Getting on the PATH to Jersey City is easy. Getting to the PATH train might be a hassle though.
	10:25pm chris_in_space: Been here all night, haven't said hello. Hello, and yes that was a great set by Hookworms.
	10:25pm Holly in NC: @efd - Just noticed your 10:05 comment - NICE ;-) @Sybil - Great to hear from you and the very important blinky things! So glad they are still under your good care.
	10:25pm Listener Sybil: I used to have to commute on PATH four times a day, twice with my toddler son. I hoped it had gotten easier.
	10:27pm Ike & the Head of a Dead Ram: Sounds good!
	10:28pm Listener Sybil: @ Holly in NC: I've missed the interactions here and none so much as yours. And that's my sentimental outpouring for the night.
	10:30pm efd: I am duly humbled and honored, Sybil!
	10:38pm Listener Sybil: I want to tell you all the story of how my son got an ear infection, and i had to take him to St Vincent's (which no longer exists) ER, and how we were not seen for hours (OK, gunshots, etc.) and how after all that I was stopped by a cop when I tried to enter the PATH train station (I was glad he checked, it was not too long after the whole Joel Steinberg thing) and when we got home in JC I just collapsed. I've asked, my son has no memory at all of living in JC. Whereas me, I remember every moment. I haven't told you the half of it.
	10:41pm Listener Sybil: It was really hard to live in Jersey City then. 1908s
	10:43pm JakeGould: The 1908s must have been horrible. With all the horses and steam engines.
	10:43pm Listener Sybil: (Not trying to create a bummer. I'm just having a moment here.) Reasons to be cheerful, part 3: www.youtube.com...
	10:44pm Listener Sybil: Sorry, @JakeGould. I have a bit of dyslexia, on top of everything.
	10:46pm JakeGould: No problem. I was like 12 years old in 1980 and still rode the subway on my own every now and then so the idea of me going to Jersey City in the 1980s on another train system would have freaked me out.
	10:47pm JakeGould: I knew how to get on the D train in the center (conductor) car and then go some place, get off, run to where I had to go to, run back, get back on the D train and head home. NYC life in the 1980s.
	10:47pm Listener Sybil: hey, @ jakegould, it freaked me out every single day and i was an adult.
	10:49pm JakeGould: @ListenerSybil: Yeah, when I tell people I rode the NYC subway as a 12 year old kid they are stunned. But I wasn’t the only one. And honestly it was less creepy than NYC buses back then… My god the buses were vile!
	10:51pm Listener Sybil: ALL: we're just enjoying a NYC eighties moment here. Although "enjoying" may not be the right word.
	10:52pm cheri: efd, I got to take my leave tonight thanks again for that wild hookworms set! i'll see you in two weeks.
	10:52pm Listener Sybil: @ efd: you may yet live to regret getting this mathematician past the "math problems". (I hope not.)
	10:53pm JakeGould: @ListenerSybil: Ha! I only wish I knew kids who actually did fun stuff like go to “Danceteria” or “Mudd Club” back then. In deep Brooklyn the guido kids were mainly into going to “The Fun House” and that was not my scene. Like a disco version of the Insane Clown Posse.
	10:54pm efd: not regretting it yet!
	10:57pm Listener Sybil: I think @JakeGould and I are reliving something.... worth reliving.
	10:58pm fleep: Speaking of the 80s, listen to those hooks.
	10:58pm steve: hey efd!
	10:59pm efd: watch the closing doors!
	10:59pm Listener Sybil: @fleep: no doubt
	10:59pm steve: this is pretty badass
	10:59pm efd: hey steve, I was kinda hoping you were out there when I started this set! :)
	11:00pm BriJet: Hey efd!!!
	11:01pm Holly in NC: Like Umo Vogue.
	11:02pm Kat in Chicago: Hey errybody. Got home too late for Hookworms, but not for the 80s synthy stuff, apparently!
	11:02pm steve: woo hoo. i just tuned in. ill catch the archive. loved the recent W-whatever-the-Asbury-Park-station-call-letters-were show btw!
	11:02pm Stevel: Loving Jake and Sybil's thread. City kids!
	11:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and assembled citizens. I trust Hookworms will be archived, right?
	11:05pm -andrew-: Calling it a night. Had a very long drive today and it has finally caught up with me. Thanks for the excellent Hookworms set Evan!
	11:05pm efd: yes it will be, Ken! hi Kat & BriJet and any other recent commenteers I missed!
	11:05pm bobdoesthings: Ive heard the name Giorgio Moroder before but never looked into him... so this is him?
	11:06pm JakeGould: @steve: Thanks! Will be doing something with my memories come fall/winter. So hey… Stay tuned.
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - sitting here in NewHampshuh - I love learning about Thuh City. Regional stuff is kewl - like the club listings & weather reports from WWOZ N'Orleans, or traffic in LA from KCRW... @bob: Worked w/ Donna Summer - kinda invented the whole thing...
	11:07pm Listener Sybil: My kid is a city kid. I grew up in the (DC) suburbs, and hated every minute. I lived in Boston for a time (long ago) and it was good for me. I am constantly surprised by how much my kid identifies as NYC.
	11:07pm Danne D: listening on the go - enjoying the show Evan :)
	11:07pm steve: bob - Giorgio did HUGE disco stuff in the 70s like I Feel Love by Donna Summer. new album is very different from what he's known for.
	11:08pm Danne D: hi bye everyone :) hi bye Holly! :)
	11:10pm Kat in Chicago: Giorgio played Pitchfork last year. Kind of. It was... odd. Still cool to see a bunch of indie kids go nuts for "I Feel Love."
	11:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Moroder wigkey: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:10pm bobdoesthings: @steve/revrabb - cool, thanks
	11:11pm Listener Sybil: Danne D... goodbye, yet I want it not to end. See you all next time, I hope! And my blinky things hope as well!
	11:12pm steve: that new Giorgio album is getting so brutally slammed by popular review sites for some reason... i loved that song we just heard tho
	11:13pm Stevel: OMG. Tom's Diner. [sigh]
	11:14pm herb.nyc: i found Serb record in trash, last wk.
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: Ken played the title track. Wasn't terrible.
	11:25pm fleep: Google "white manna" and you get hamburgers. This group needs better SEO.
	11:27pm JakeGould: @fleep: You know who needs SEO advice? California punk group the Avengers… Because you know… Cool name in 1983, horrid SEO in 2015.
	11:29pm JakeGould: Here is White Manna on Bandcamp. whitemanna.bandcamp.com...
	11:31pm Ike: ...and as we noted over the weekend, the band Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. But they had to know that was a losing SEO proposition going in.
	11:35pm KP: XL Kings sound great but more like queens
	11:39pm JakeGould: @Ike: Still, a band named “Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret” is an amazing band name.
	11:43pm Kat in Chicago: One for the ladies from Harry Harrison
	11:43pm JakeGould: Ahhhh, Hairy Harrison!
	11:47pm steve: being able to say you're in a band called Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret outweighs any potential negative consequences. im already tempted to just start telling people i'm in that band.
	11:48pm Ike & the Head of a Dead Ram: Ha ha, point taken.
	11:52pm JakeGould: Just re-watched Pee Wee’s Big Adventure last night and I think a band named “Amazing Larry” would be nice.
	11:58pm bobdoesthings: thanks efd !!!!!
	12:01am Alan: White Manna, WOW!, Thank you, EFD for hipping me to that.

I've asked, my son has no memory at all of living in JC. Whereas me, I remember every moment. I haven't told you the half of it.
	10:41pm Listener Sybil: It was really hard to live in Jersey City then. 1908s
	10:43pm JakeGould: The 1908s must have been horrible. With all the horses and steam engines.
	10:43pm Listener Sybil: (Not trying to create a bummer. I'm just having a moment here.) Reasons to be cheerful, part 3: www.youtube.com...
	10:44pm Listener Sybil: Sorry, @JakeGould. I have a bit of dyslexia, on top of everything.
	10:46pm JakeGould: No problem. I was like 12 years old in 1980 and still rode the subway on my own every now and then so the idea of me going to Jersey City in the 1980s on another train system would have freaked me out.
	10:47pm JakeGould: I knew how to get on the D train in the center (conductor) car and then go some place, get off, run to where I had to go to, run back, get back on the D train and head home. NYC life in the 1980s.
	10:47pm Listener Sybil: hey, @ jakegould, it freaked me out every single day and i was an adult.
	10:49pm JakeGould: @ListenerSybil: Yeah, when I tell people I rode the NYC subway as a 12 year old kid they are stunned. But I wasn’t the only one. And honestly it was less creepy than NYC buses back then… My god the buses were vile!
	10:51pm Listener Sybil: ALL: we're just enjoying a NYC eighties moment here. Although "enjoying" may not be the right word.
	10:52pm cheri: efd, I got to take my leave tonight thanks again for that wild hookworms set! i'll see you in two weeks.
	10:52pm Listener Sybil: @ efd: you may yet live to regret getting this mathematician past the "math problems". (I hope not.)
	10:53pm JakeGould: @ListenerSybil: Ha! I only wish I knew kids who actually did fun stuff like go to “Danceteria” or “Mudd Club” back then. In deep Brooklyn the guido kids were mainly into going to “The Fun House” and that was not my scene. Like a disco version of the Insane Clown Posse.
	10:54pm efd: not regretting it yet!
	10:57pm Listener Sybil: I think @JakeGould and I are reliving something.... worth reliving.
	10:58pm fleep: Speaking of the 80s, listen to those hooks.
	10:58pm steve: hey efd!
	10:59pm efd: watch the closing doors!
	10:59pm Listener Sybil: @fleep: no doubt
	10:59pm steve: this is pretty badass
	10:59pm efd: hey steve, I was kinda hoping you were out there when I started this set! :)
	11:00pm BriJet: Hey efd!!!
	11:01pm Holly in NC: Like Umo Vogue.
	11:02pm Kat in Chicago: Hey errybody. Got home too late for Hookworms, but not for the 80s synthy stuff, apparently!
	11:02pm steve: woo hoo. i just tuned in. ill catch the archive. loved the recent W-whatever-the-Asbury-Park-station-call-letters-were show btw!
	11:02pm Stevel: Loving Jake and Sybil's thread. City kids!
	11:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, efd and assembled citizens. I trust Hookworms will be archived, right?
	11:05pm -andrew-: Calling it a night. Had a very long drive today and it has finally caught up with me. Thanks for the excellent Hookworms set Evan!
	11:05pm efd: yes it will be, Ken! hi Kat & BriJet and any other recent commenteers I missed!
	11:05pm bobdoesthings: Ive heard the name Giorgio Moroder before but never looked into him... so this is him?
	11:06pm JakeGould: @steve: Thanks! Will be doing something with my memories come fall/winter. So hey… Stay tuned.
	11:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - sitting here in NewHampshuh - I love learning about Thuh City. Regional stuff is kewl - like the club listings & weather reports from WWOZ N'Orleans, or traffic in LA from KCRW... @bob: Worked w/ Donna Summer - kinda invented the whole thing...
	11:07pm Listener Sybil: My kid is a city kid. I grew up in the (DC) suburbs, and hated every minute. I lived in Boston for a time (long ago) and it was good for me. I am constantly surprised by how much my kid identifies as NYC.
	11:07pm Danne D: listening on the go - enjoying the show Evan :)
	11:07pm steve: bob - Giorgio did HUGE disco stuff in the 70s like I Feel Love by Donna Summer. new album is very different from what he's known for.
	11:08pm Danne D: hi bye everyone :) hi bye Holly! :)
	11:10pm Kat in Chicago: Giorgio played Pitchfork last year. Kind of. It was... odd. Still cool to see a bunch of indie kids go nuts for "I Feel Love."
	11:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Moroder wigkey: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:10pm bobdoesthings: @steve/revrabb - cool, thanks
	11:11pm Listener Sybil: Danne D... goodbye, yet I want it not to end. See you all next time, I hope! And my blinky things hope as well!
	11:12pm steve: that new Giorgio album is getting so brutally slammed by popular review sites for some reason... i loved that song we just heard tho
	11:13pm Stevel: OMG. Tom's Diner. [sigh]
	11:14pm herb.nyc: i found Serb record in trash, last wk.
	11:14pm Kat in Chicago: Ken played the title track. Wasn't terrible.
	11:25pm fleep: Google "white manna" and you get hamburgers. This group needs better SEO.
	11:27pm JakeGould: @fleep: You know who needs SEO advice? California punk group the Avengers… Because you know… Cool name in 1983, horrid SEO in 2015.
	11:29pm JakeGould: Here is White Manna on Bandcamp. whitemanna.bandcamp.com...
	11:31pm Ike: ...and as we noted over the weekend, the band Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. But they had to know that was a losing SEO proposition going in.
	11:35pm KP: XL Kings sound great but more like queens
	11:39pm JakeGould: @Ike: Still, a band named “Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret” is an amazing band name.
	11:43pm Kat in Chicago: One for the ladies from Harry Harrison
	11:43pm JakeGould: Ahhhh, Hairy Harrison!
	11:47pm steve: being able to say you're in a band called Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret outweighs any potential negative consequences. im already tempted to just start telling people i'm in that band.
	11:48pm Ike & the Head of a Dead Ram: Ha ha, point taken.
	11:52pm JakeGould: Just re-watched Pee Wee’s Big Adventure last night and I think a band named “Amazing Larry” would be nice.
	11:58pm bobdoesthings: thanks efd !!!!!
	12:01am Alan: White Manna, WOW!, Thank you, EFD for hipping me to that.
