	9:14pm efd: omg
	9:15pm chris_in_space: @Gaylord heyy-ohhhh
	9:18pm Gaylord Fields: @chris-in-space: I didn't mean anything R-rated by that statement, just that efd plays Canadian artists like he's a '70s Toronto DJ at 4 am: www.statemaster.com...
	9:20pm P-90: ...and I'm thinking "Beaver Bin? Wasn't that a regular feature in the old Penthouse magazine...?"
	9:22pm V Priceless: Yeah Rats! Hey efd!
	9:23pm Gaylord Fields: It's not my fault that particular radio jargon sounds like the name of a stripper bar in Windsor.
	9:25pm chris_in_space: @Gaylord Cool link! I love it. And just so ya know, my "hey-ohh" was intended to sound like Ed McMahon
	9:27pm chad from oregon: I think they just changed the name of the field that the Oregon State Beavers play on from that a few years back.
	9:30pm chad from oregon: I don't follow football though.
	9:35pm Gaylord Fields: @chris_in_space: Oh, I had an inkling of what I'd stir up by casting a castor upon this crowd.
	9:38pm luke: wow that holmquist track was phenomenal
	9:41pm steve: im already hooked on Pinout since discovering it this afternoon!
	9:42pm efd: yeah, it's a cool game and an even cooler soundtrack! luke (and anyone else), you can check out more Douglas Holmquist tracks here: douglasholmquist.bandcamp.com...
	9:42pm luke: i'll have to check it out!

	9:51pm efd: Good call, smiler. Definitely not me with the high Pinout score, I have low video game aptitude in general.
	10:05pm Scraps deSelby: h'lo hi
	10:05pm jon: efd does great interviews
	10:15pm Lyle: David Bowie. I shared a stage with him back around 1981. I was playing third trombone for Jack Wagner, who was trying to parlay his TV success (General Hospital) into a music career. We opened a few shows for Bowie on his Scared Monster tour. I could tell right away he didn't like us. Fancy was the word he used. "I don't fancy them." Still, he was a gentleman and he would nod as he passed and smile. He gave us all chromium Mylar™ balloons on our final night, and a signed card with many unique personalizations. That really touched Jack. Best of all, he invited us allonstage for his encore, a rousing version of Rebel Rebel in Eb, as I recall. Jack borrowed my leather coat and he swung it over his shoulder as Elvis might have. It seemed to please David.
	10:16pm Lyle: Sorry for my typos. My fingers get so stiff with this colder weather.
	10:17pm herb.nyc: I just read a January fb post from Bob George, and how David Bowie was sooo nice at an Archive of Contemporary Music sale party. (Note- Archive has its biannual sale now, thru December 18, in TriBeCa)
	10:18pm V Priceless: Rebel Rebel in Eb? What a pain in the ass! : )

	10:33pm chris_in_space: yeah, cool story @Lyle
	10:34pm chris_in_space: and how about them Oh Sees? Best American band going right now? I'm thinking it might be possible.
	10:35pm efd: good to know, thanks V!
	11:01pm herb.nyc: This just came to me- a Best Show w Jon calling Tom and then saying 53rd and 3rd is about a Pottery Barn!
	11:11pm Michael from the Left Coast: the four songs on the EP with the Records first album were abracadabra, 1984 (Spirit), Rock'n' Roll Love Letter (Tim Moore/Bay City Rollers) and Have you Seen Your Mother Baby (Standing in the Shadows) (the Rolling Stones)
	11:11pm Stevel: Stealth listening tonight. Great show, per usual.
