	10:16pm coelacanth: greetings efd and Funky Folk ...coming in right at that chord progression i thought it was "needles and pins"...which would be okay!
	10:17pm coelacanth: (but that eyelids song was beyond okay!)
	10:19pm Holly in NC: 'zit's great, now that efd's playing The Dream Syndicate! god I love this lp. @efd - Bonus tracks worth a (second) repurchase?
	10:20pm Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer: Whose derivative?
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: this ball business is the shiz
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: That's some cover.
	10:27pm coelacanth: just your warning is cracking me up! ...but now i have to look it up!
	10:30pm Stevel: Missing Dream Syndicate=1 point off. Off to punish myself.
	10:30pm efd: don't say I didn't warn you, coelacanth!
	10:31pm efd: boooo Stevel!
	10:33pm marc: "Marvin, I Love You" is a Love Song For A Robot
	10:33pm Stevel: OK, I'm back. Hey Holly, Uncle Michael, Joe B, efd and all y'all. Tuning into the boards always makes me smile.
	10:33pm joe!: NSFW, yup. Sheepish smile when you buy that record, or just sunglasses and a stone face? Yikes.
	10:36pm efd: "uh, yeah, I'll take a pack of Winstons, uh, an ice cream soda, the Ball single, a comb..."
	10:36pm Stevel: Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll!!!!!!
	10:37pm Holly in NC: Where is this record cover? I am not finding anything "interesting". 3 cheers for Starbreaker!
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: EFD, is that copy of the Ball single one of the limited edition of 300?
	10:38pm Uncle Michael: You've been warned. www.discogs.com...
	10:40pm efd: I didn't notice anything about a limited edition, and frankly I don't think I want to check that closely. But maybe?
	10:44pm Stevel: That's a very complex piece of art. Contradictory, yet to the point. Or something.
	10:44pm coelacanth: okay THAT'S interesting! (i wasn't coming up with anything either.)
	10:44pm Stevel: ...and thank you, UM. You always come through.
	10:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...' 7" ' doesn't necessarily help w/ a websearch, either...yes, interestingly, no balls...
	10:46pm Holly in NC: @UM - Thank you. I was expected something goatse level given the hype! Now that DO NOT GOOGLE.
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: The honor is to serve.
	10:47pm Stevel: Where is Ball from? Are they a noun or a verb? So many quesitons (legit trippy video for that song. RRN63: Precisely!
	10:47pm Uncle Michael: They're Swedes.
	10:48pm Stevel: "Limited edition 300 copies. Includes an insert" [snicker]
	10:51pm rsj: big chair, as played a couple weeks ago, has become a breakout hit at our house
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: I must close my eyes. They're watery due to an unfortunate summer cold. Thank you for the music, Evan.
	10:53pm marc: No dropping the disco ball I hope
	10:54pm coelacanth: oh Holly! don't do that to people! someone blessed me with that image as i emerged from the shower once. i was afraid to use my computer for a long time!
	11:03pm efd: hey rsj, glad that song stuck with you! It's catchy like that.
	11:10pm joe!: OK, so check out a version of The Sound of Summer by Hungary's Neoton Familia. Kinda cable-access ABBA. Cover art for their song Oh Happy Day also worth a look. I'm taking an extra Xanax and going to bed.
	11:11pm efd: I have that version too, joe! Played it a few years ago, but it's due for another spin.
	11:12pm efd: IT'S GREAT IN ANY LANGUAGE!!
	11:14pm joe!: Gotta love a band that started out by finishing 2nd in a 2 band contest. God love 'em, probably beat most career options in Soviet-era Hungary.
	11:30pm Danne D: Hi EFD and everyone :) HI Holly :)
	11:30pm flashback: Hello everybody.
	11:32pm Danne D: Happy I Caught Aharon in the EFDHHDYDTYFBL even if it's just for one day :)
	11:35pm efd: you've got to take your victories where you can find them, Danne.
	11:36pm Holly in NC: Hi Danne! I am fading fast, if I crash before midnight thanks for a great show efd!
	11:37pm Īke: I'm really enjoying the synth-y turn this show has taken.
	11:37pm efd: my pleasure as always, Holly!
	11:42pm Michael from the Left Coast: Pronunciation was fine and correct
	11:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Take care, Holly!
	11:44pm Michael from the Left Coast: Actually your pronunciation was the americanization--the actual pronunciation is the from the throat "cha" as in Chutzpah for Charigim
	11:49pm efd: ah, noted. Thanks Michael!
	11:50pm Michael from the Left Coast: Like CHanukah. Same thing--although the way it is spelled in English it is hard to tell
	11:50pm JakeGould: Please no more discussion of the guttural “ch”.
	11:51pm Stevel: Killer production on Sleaford Mods. Putting them on my to-see list. Hi Ja-ch!
	11:51pm efd: but I was just about to mention CHallah!
	11:53pm JakeGould: @efd: You can mention Challah. I’m fine with that and who am I to say on your show? But pronunciation of the guttural “ch” is so pedantic.
	11:54pm JakeGould: Just keep rockin’!
	11:55pm Stevel: Gorilla Angreb is my new jam.
	11:55pm Ike: Am I hallucinating or is there a bit of "Holiday in Cambodia" on this one?
	11:56pm Stevel: Ike: I'll side with a breath or two of it.
	11:56pm JakeGould: @Ike: Somewhat “Holiday in Cambodia”-ish.
	11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Thx for another great one efd. Appreciated.
	11:57pm Danne D: Thanks for a great show as always Evan :) Have a good night everyone :) Take care sleepy Holly :)
	11:57pm JakeGould: @Stevel: When you pronounce “Gorilla Angreb,” make sure you roll the “gre” so it’s like “Gorilla AngKrCHeb.”
	11:59pm efd: for the record I've don't think I've ever shied away from pedantry when it comes to pronunciation on this show!
	11:59pm Stevel: Duly noted (avoiding heavy consonants.)
	11:59pm JakeGould: @efd: “Pedantry” is a pretty decent band. At least their first 2 albums.
	11:59pm Stevel: ...and yer killin' me, Jake.
	12:00am Stevel: Pederasty, not such a well-liked outfit. Great show.
	12:00am coelacanth: Ike i heard that too. Thanks Evan ciao y'all
