	9:57pm efd: hey steve! I can't believe you missed it either! I think you'll enjoy it when you have a chance to listen.
	10:05pm Blob: How do I get my hands on that Crazy Sunday ep!
	10:07pm Carmichael: I'm gonna tell Clay about that Sweeney Todd, if he doesn't already know.
	10:09pm efd: oh I bet he knows! :)
	10:10pm efd: @blob, that is a great question! I will try to find out from my friend who sent it to me.
	10:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: I never knew East German music was as interesting as that selection was. Also: Hi, EFD and crew!
	10:12pm steve: love it
	10:13pm Bootsie: Always happy to hear Suicide!
	10:22pm melinda: Some good synthies tonight.
	10:23pm Loretta: Evan, is this the same group 'suicide' that I may have run unto back in the early 70's? my memory is not what it used to be......LOL
	10:24pm efd: yep Loretta, that's them!
	10:25pm Loretta: oh cool!! thanks Evan. gotta pick up that vinyl!
	10:29pm Bootsie: @Loretta did you see them live back then?
	10:29pm steve portland: holy shit this killing joke is terrible
	10:35pm Loretta: @Bootsie, yes I do remember that we (TL) played with them, but I'm not sure where..... maybe the Mercer ST. art Ctr. very cool!!!! great memories...
	10:38pm Bootsie: @loretta that IS very cool! So happy I got to see them once in the '90s. "TL"?
	10:46pm Loretta: @Bootsie back in the day I was in a local NYC glitter rock band named ~ Teenage Lust & the Lustettes. I was a Lustette. Evan plays a few of our songs every once in a while.. we're probably due to hear some Lust soon !!! where did you see them?
	10:48pm efd: @blob (and anyone else interested in that Crazy Sunday ep I played earlier): You can email the label at drchompski at chompskimusic.com, and tell them you heard it on my show. They'll hook you up. It'll also be on iTunes soon.
	10:53pm Howard F: Hey everyone! Love the Wipers, I don't know why they're not more popular like Black Flag or the Misfits?! Maybe they didn't have a cool enough logo?!
	10:55pm ice in bklyn: I love the efd show
	10:58pm efd: thank you ice! Howard, that's a good question to which I don't have an answer.
	11:12pm mariano: Hello efd and everyone, pleasure to be here as I work the night away!
	11:18pm efd: hi mariano, glad I can keep you company for part of your work-night! Thanks for listening!
	11:19pm Stevel: Nice lead up to Bowie!
	11:20pm efd: lead out will be questionable
	11:21pm Stevel: I'll be the judge of that!
	11:22pm steve: haha what is going on
	11:22pm mariano: Hey, the efd show, something green (ahem), coffee, and some late-night graphic design work, sometimes I love my job! @Loretta: that is soooo cool, I'll have to look up LT!
	11:23pm Bootsie: Hey @Loretta I'm back. Had to wash my dye out. ;-) just checked out a TL clip on YouTube. Good stuff! I can't remember the year, but early '90s or possibly even late '80s. Ric Ocasek was on guitar!
	11:26pm efd: these voice actors are so bad on this off-brand Kojak record
	11:27pm mariano: I love it! I had a Star Trek record when I was a kid, not even sure if it was the real cast. Something about a wizard appearing on the Enterprise, whose name was Klee, of all things. I think my grandparents got it for me.
	11:27pm Stevel: And yet, I approve of this choice. Pull the package!
	11:28pm efd: this is what we're listening to, for those who are curious: www.discogs.com...
	11:29pm Stevel: "Rizzo!"
	11:30pm Stevel: Sad police sirens.
	11:31pm mariano: Ever see that thing on YouTube, a promo video Telly Savalas did in the mid-70s for Birmingham (UK)? I guess it's something the city government would show to try to attract business. It's hilarious!
	11:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember some Kojak episode where someone mentioned a phone number with the 683 prefix instead of the generic 555. My hometown is 683. Also, 683 stood for MUrdoch-3, according to one of my grade school teachers.
	11:35pm Chris M.: fuck this song is great
	11:38pm mariano: @Ken: What hometown is that? I was born in '69, and when I was in like second and third grade, Kojak was big on TV. There were all these fairly real toy pistols back then branded for Kojak, Columbo, and some other TV cops, and my friends and I all had one, used to play cops and robbers at recess. Can you imagine that today? Whole school would be on lockdown and attempts to press adult charges. Anyway, here's that Telly Savalas link for some post-efd viewing, it's really funny: www.youtube.com...
	11:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: @mariano - A one-stoplight town in SE North Dakota. www.lisbonnd.com...
	11:46pm mariano: @Ken -- oh cool, I lived in Omaha for five years way back when. Never made it to ND though, just SD. Are you a fan of Fargo (the series)?
	11:48pm JakeGould: @mariano: Ah, the 1970s! When I had a black toy machine gun that looked just like a real gun. And one of my fondest childhood memories was climbing the wobbly monkey bars in a local playground with that guy and we would all play this game which was basically, “Let’s rock these rickety monkey bars until someone falls off and lands face first on the hard rubber in the playground.” Ah, youth! Such innocence!
	11:49pm JakeGould: Afterword: I would pretend to shoot at other kids while rocking it to see if I could scare them into falling down. Those were the wonder years!
	11:49pm JakeGould: On that note, great show Evan! Goodnight to all!
	11:50pm Chop Scott: I deeply thank you--as ever!
	11:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: @mariano - Haven't paid attention to it. When the TV's on here, it's tuned to some sporting event or else Comedy Central, for the most part.
	11:52pm efd: my pleasure Chop Scott, Jake, and all!
	11:52pm Stevel: Thinking I know how this could end tonight.
	11:53pm efd: you know me too well, Stevel
	11:56pm mariano: @JakeGould: have a good night, if I haven't missed you! @Ken -- I hear you, we all have our likes. If you ever do feel like a good series, though, it's a good one, much of it shot in ND. Thanks for the great show as always efd!
	11:57pm Stevel: Perhaps. Always a pleasure! Thank you for wonderful radio.
	11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx efd !
	12:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Well, that was a nice summer. Thanks, efd!

Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

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.
