Listener comments!
	9:04pm JakeGould: That is some serious drumming like Led Zeppelin for a release by another band on Led Zeppelin’s label. And… HELLO!
	9:04pm P-90: Who got da Funk? WE got da Funk!
	9:04pm jmd: Of course they're on Swan Song. Great start to the show!
	9:06pm Loretta: good eve Evan!
	9:07pm DonJuanTijuana: Checking in for the Funk! Very bummed about not being able to attend the Fair this weekend. Always the best times at the benefit.
	9:08pm P-90: ...not to be confused with the short-lived "Schlong Song" label
	9:09pm efd: Hey everyone! Nice to see you all tonight! ...except maybe for you, P-90. ;)
	9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the end of Keith Moon...
	9:20pm efd: the end of the comments too, apparently.
	9:20pm V Priceless: Hey efd!
	9:21pm Faye: evan you are KILLING IT. perfect uplifting soundtrack to the miserable chore of packing
	9:22pm efd: hiya V!
	9:22pm efd: ohhh, that IS a miserable chore! Glad I can keep you company, Faye!
	9:24pm Jibolo Lucio: In Prince-adjacent news, Wendy and Lisa say The Revolution will be reuniting and playing some shows soon. I hope that actually happens. It would help ease some of the pain 2016 has inflicted upon us.
	9:29pm bob_ham: That was the same Incredible Lance Diamond that sang on the cover of "Bitch" that GGD gave to the No Alternative comp. #themoreyouknow
	9:29pm Stevel: In the office, alone, doing the work that prevented by work earlier today, I think. Either way, I've got the right soundtrack.
	9:34pm geezerette: Fonk honkin'! c(s:c)&
	9:35pm JakeGould: Fonz honking! (Correctomundo!)
	9:36pm Johnny: yeah thats it!
	9:36pm geezerette: HaHa!
	9:37pm tomasz.: god i love this theme tune
	9:38pm tomasz.: also hi EFD, hi comment pals, this is a great soundtrack to me making a website by typing HTML into notepad.exe at nearly 3am as if it were 1998 or something
	9:39pm tomasz.: @Faye packing is bullshit, solidarity. i was supposed to be moving across town on Friday but there was some kind of inconvenient fire incident so that's on hold for now
	9:40pm geezerette: so tonight you're gonna party like it's 1998...or something.
	9:41pm tomasz.: ha! getting my pre-millennium tension on
	9:41pm Stevel: Still a big fan of Controversy. It really stood out, back in the day.
	9:43pm JakeGould: @Stevel: Yes! I have had “Controversy” as an ear worm for the past few days. I even impulsively played it on my iPhone without headphones (!!!) on the subway when I needed a boost this morning. Nobody complained.
	9:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was driving across town this afternoon and a local station played Prince's "When You Were Mine" and it was glorious.
	9:48pm JakeGould: For a second I thought this track was “Lucretia, My Reflection” by Sisters of Mercy.
	9:48pm rob steffens: pylon/gang of 4 was a good double bill
	9:51pm Stevel: Dark Blue is one of the few artists efd shares with William Berger. The more you know.
	9:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...weird to think of when Prince 1st came out & he was considered like this sensationalistic Madonna-era perve or something...
	9:53pm rob steffens: agreed that is sure is weird
	9:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...rather than the hyper-capable genius...)
	9:54pm rob steffens: i was reading he pleaded to billboard on how/where to be classified
	9:55pm rob steffens: this jersey city band just kicks ass
	9:57pm efd: I agree, rob!
	9:59pm JakeGould: Good thing we have Obamacare with all of the “its” being killed and all of the “ass” being kicked.
	9:59pm rob steffens: I and A
	10:08pm rob steffens: Eurostile
	10:08pm tomasz.: i like a band called "A Giant Dog" before even hearing a note
	10:11pm Clifford: Me too!
	10:13pm rob steffens: EurosBolExtTwo
	10:13pm JakeGould: The Cure! YES!
	10:13pm rob steffens: of course Clifford likes it
	10:13pm Dave in Vermont: oh yeah, I tuned in just in time!
	10:14pm rob steffens: three imaginary dogs
	10:15pm Robone Smith: Woof! Woof! Woof!
	10:20pm Chris M.: it's the efd show don't ya know on wfmu that's how it go tomorrow only 1976 songs on until noon fyi
	10:21pm Faye: DAMN ITS HIT AFTER HIT OVER HERE
	10:21pm efd: wait, seriously Chris M?
	10:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: 1976...the Bicentennial. What a party that was!
	10:22pm JakeGould: @ChrisM: You drunk?
	10:22pm Stevel: Seriously drunk?
	10:22pm Chris M.: seriously and yes i am drunk
	10:23pm JakeGould: @ChrisM: I knew that because you forgot punctuation. Just like a drunk would!
	10:23pm geezerette: Hilarious,I've been posting here but listening to Ichiban Stream! No wonder it went surreal on me!
	10:25pm Chris M.: i am seriously so drunk and seriously love efd
	10:25pm geezerette: & I am not even drunk!
	10:25pm JakeGould: 1976 was big deal to me as a kid when I was 8. I had all kinds of Bicentennial shit. So exciting!
	10:30pm Chris M.: <3 this dude efd
	10:31pm P-90: Bi-Cen in the A.M.? Count me in!
	10:32pm JakeGould: @ChrisM: Avant Garde magazine was a cool 1970s art magazine and their 1976 cover for the bicentennial is great. www.codex99.com...
	10:38pm P-90: Party like it's 1976! On "Imaginary Hangover" with Chris M.
	10:40pm Chris M.: i don't want to take anything away fro the efd show but get ready for dancing around more than a feeling for three hours
	10:48pm Stevel: All Boston, All the time.
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago: Peech Boys yesssss. Recently realized how incredibly good a year 1983 was for music.
	10:53pm Kat in Chicago: 1976 was cool too tho
	10:57pm JakeGould: Look at the Billboard chart for 1976. Nothing not good. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:57pm DJ_Guy: Tfw EFD plays disco <3 <3
	10:59pm tomasz.: did a three-hour 1983 mix a couple of years ago to mark being 30 (my birth year, y'see) and it was indeed a primo year
	10:59pm Kat in Chicago: @Jake are you prepared to defend "Junk Food Junkie"? ;)
	11:02pm Kat in Chicago: That Parquet Courts just now was very very good
	11:03pm JakeGould: @Kat: Oh, I can’t defend that turd. I actually had a horrible hippie family member who would personally call me a “Junk Food Junkie” when I dared to spend my own pennies and nickels at corner vending machines. Screw that song!
	11:08pm efd: yeah there's some good stuff on that new Parquet Courts album, not surprisingly!
	11:09pm Danne D: Hi EFD :) Hi everyone :)
	11:11pm JakeGould: EFD: Nice that you let us know it “Avenue Z” is not named after that street in Brooklyn… I mean maybe the singing barber of Sheepshead Bay played a role in it?
	11:15pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Danne!
	11:16pm Danne D: Kat :D
	11:24pm tomasz.: i'm a junk food junkie
	11:27pm tomasz.: Q: how do you make a duck into a soul singer? A: put it in the oven till its bill withers
	11:27pm tomasz.: BLAMMO
	11:29pm efd: did you just make that up, tomasz?
	11:29pm efd: (to be clear, I approve and I'm mad I didn't think of it myself)
	11:30pm tomasz.: i'm afraid not. i'm surprised you haven't heard it before to be honest! i thought it was one of those corny old ones, ha ha
	11:32pm efd: I'm surprised too! I appreciate you keeping the tradition alive.
	11:33pm Kat in Chicago: I never heard that joke before and I think it's hilarious
	11:34pm JakeGould: @tomasz.: As someone who has discussed bad/good jokes here on the comments on WFMU for the past month or so, I have to say this “Bill Withers” joke is top notch! Kudos!
	11:35pm tomasz.: wow, thanks guys! i will have to dig up some more daft old music jokes
	11:36pm efd: yes please do!
	11:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: I see that Sheila B., Frangry & Michele, Billy Jam and Mr. Fine Wine are all doing live broadcasts from the record fair on Friday. Six hours of fun!
