	10:24pm efd: not that there's anything wrong with this version.
	10:29pm Michael from the Left Coast: a rare dip into the Neil Diamond songbook

	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CIA - & he's got a British accent?
	11:02pm efd: yeah, I can't figure that out either.
	11:04pm Ignore Function: What genre would describe that C.I.A. number?
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In the UK woulda been MI5, right? I guess their objective is to throw us off! & they're Cool Jazz hipsters...in 1974...

	11:29pm JakeGould: Thanks for the info! There shall be another day and another boat!
	11:33pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan - tuning in late tonight, thought something had happened to Pete Solley when I read the comments (he has a history with Australian bands). Any love for Anita Sarko?
	11:35pm efd: hey coelacanth, hi Eddy. Shit, I forgot about Anita Sarko... I did offer some brief thoughts on Facebook when I heard that news, but that doesn't really do anyone here any good. Sorry for the Pete Solley scare!
	11:36pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Here I thought I was going to catch a lot of the show, only to discover it is 11:35.
	11:37pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I put on that clip of the Empire State Building flashing to "FM" and suddenly YouTube was having its way with me as I cleaned the house.
	11:47pm efd: time flies when you're sucked into a youtube vortex! Glad you were able to stop by for a bit nonetheless.
	11:57pm JakeGould: I believe the kids call “Vortexes” “K Holes” nowadays.

Wed. Feb 12th, Noon - 3pm: UK Producer / Musician Clive Langer (More info...)
Clive Langer got his start playing in the Liverpool band Deaf School in the mid-'70s, but found more fame and fortune on the producer's side of the studio glass. Along with his production partner Alan Winstanley he's produced hit records for Madness, Dexys Midnight Runners, Elvis Costello, and David Bowie, among many others. His band The Clang Group release their second album this month, and he’ll chat with EFD about that and his illustrious career.
