	9:21pm Stevel: "Tears that you cry. "
	9:21pm Stevel: Julie M: Your commitment is inspiring.
	♥ 9:23pm Julie M: Actually, Stevel, I like having the radio right in my ear but I can still hear and see the baseball game, so yeah...
	♥ 9:24pm efd: Live set from DC/Durham/Brooklyn's own Paranoid Style coming up shortly, then Proper Ornaments live set in about an hour! Whee!!
	♥ 9:25pm medson: Cant wait for the live sets
	9:29pm Stevel: What is the name of this set's vibe? Proto-hair-metal-disco-new wavers? Hopefully not. It all hung together very well.
	9:30pm BronwynB: whatever it is i love it. i love anything that sounds like that. does that sound in fact have a name? hmmm
	♥ 9:30pm listener 126464: i was brewery hopping in durham last week
	♥ 9:33pm medson: Aerial were Canadian as far as the internet is concerned
	♥ 9:34pm Mike Sin: Out in California listening to you live (while watching the World Series on mute) -- looking forward to the live sets!
	♥ 9:36pm efd: hi Mike, good to see you here! medson, thanks for that info! I met my CanCon requirement without even knowing it!
	9:37pm Stevel: Thinking I'm loving Paranoid Style, right out of the gate! Fort Wayne. On your way to anywhere, pretty much. Just saying.
	♥ 9:37pm medson: @efd yes you did
	9:42pm Joe R.: It was before my time in Milwaukee but Bad Boy featured the original Cheap Trick vocalist, Xeno http://bit.ly/2gTTfyy
	9:42pm A.T.F.: Who writes the lyrics in TPS..?
	♥ 9:44pm Julie M: A little Velvets combined with Bongwater?
	♥ 9:44pm Fuzzy: I'm searching for my Bongwater...
	♥ 9:45pm efd: interesting, thanks Joe R.! A.T.F. I always assume (sometimes incorrectly) that the singer writes the lyrics. I am pretty sure that's the case with Paranoid Style, but not positive. and I didn't ask that during the interview.
	♥ 9:48pm medson: This is a rockin set
	♥ 9:48pm efd: They're really good! I wish they played out more.
	♥ 9:49pm medson: Must have been great to watch this live
	♥ 9:49pm efd: Their full-length from last year was in my 2016 Best Of, just btw.
	9:50pm Mark from Bushwick: shit, I lived in Milwaukee from 77 to 83, and I remember Bad Boy being pushed on the local Rock station wqfm, but that's all I recall. I think I didn't like them, too mainstream, probably, (I was in art school there at the time.) I'm liking Paranoid Style
	9:51pm Stevel: Definitely great! I see they're doing a short (humane) west southern tour (Arizona on the 3rd, back to NOLA on the 9th. http://www.bar-none.com/tour-dates/
	♥ 9:52pm efd: They seem to be very Straight Ahead '70s Rock, which I was not into so much at the time myself but it sounds good to me now! I picked up another LP of theirs too, both at the same used shop. Not sure if the Cheap Trick guy is on either of them.
	9:58pm Mark from Bushwick: I did hear the cut at the top of the show, sorta,( I was doing stuff in my woodshop) and, I was about to switch to listening to an archive, but the first set of your show kept me listening. I'll have to re-listen to Bad Boy!
	♥ 9:59pm medson: Im disappointed I didn't know this band Just ordered their album though
	♥ 10:04pm efd: @Stevel I don't think those are Paranoid Style tour dates you saw
	10:06pm Stevel: efd: correct. Actually for Overlake. Good catch.
	♥ 10:06pm efd: of course this question is now out of date.
	♥ 10:11pm efd: drum nerd talk!
	♥ 10:13pm Kat in Chicago: just searched "Vistalite"
	♥ 10:17pm efd: my dream drums!
	♥ 10:21pm Barkevious Shabazz: Thought you were saying Mctrouble. Good song.
	10:27pm tuskandhusk: I feel like those drums look better then they sound
	♥ 10:28pm efd: they are not beloved by engineers, from what I understand.
	♥ 10:28pm efd: but they look A M A Z I N G
	10:29pm Mark from Bushwick: Now I remember- I just thought the name Bad Boy was incredibly incredibly dumb, so they couldn't be any good!
	10:31pm BriJet: Good evenin' y'all!!!
	♥ 10:31pm Kat in Chicago: McTrouble sounds like a bad idea for a burger
	♥ 10:36pm Kat in Chicago: Just now leaving work :( will log back in at home. Fun show so far
	♥ 10:36pm efd: oof, thanks Kat!
	♥ 10:37pm efd: @Mark totally understandable reaction! It is a pretty dumb name... but that's kind of what caught my attention! :)
	10:45pm BriJet: I like this!!! So mellow and groovy!
	10:45pm P-90: Yes, groovy and mellow
	10:46pm BriJet: :)
	♥ 10:46pm Julie M: i like Proper Ornaments much. Wanted to go to bed early but the game was on and a cat jumped up on my lap and this band is great. All good tonight.
	♥ 10:50pm efd: @Julie this is the last song so you might be able to get to bed soon :)
	♥ 10:52pm Julie M: Ha. Now I'm trapped by the convergence of cat on lap, and Game 7 (which might already be decided but who knows), and the anticipation of what efd will play next. I liked The Paranoid Style too, for the record!
	10:57pm sim: I like this groove
	11:12pm Stevel: How is Ted Leo not larger? Everything is good!
	♥ 11:13pm efd: well, he watches his diet pretty closely I think...
	♥ 11:26pm medson: Take the Courtney and Kurt
	♥ 11:29pm efd: Those were the first to go.
	11:29pm Clay: Off Broadway is another under-appreciated band in that Bad Boy/Cheap Trick/Pezband/Shoes zone. Same part of the country. They did two LPs on Atlantic. Sounding great, EFD!
	♥ 11:30pm Kat in Chicago: Not surprised. No le poisson rouge this week?
	♥ 11:31pm efd: Hi Clay! Isn't it past your bedtime? :) I'm going to toss Fotomaker onto that same pile. Lovingly toss, I should add.
	♥ 11:31pm efd: No Le Poisson Rouge, Kat! Maybe next time.
	♥ 11:32pm Kat in Chicago: Yes, Clay should be asleep!
	♥ 11:33pm Kat in Chicago: I like this jam
	11:35pm Clay: Fotomaker, yes. Wally Bryson. That drifts into the Cleveland orbit ala Raspberries. Fringe mentions: Michael Stanley Band. Frank Yancovic, Glass Harp. Without Phil Keaggy, would life itself have been possible? Keep rocking'!
	♥ 11:37pm medson: Its been a long day good night all
	♥ 11:37pm Julie M: Aw, Evan, just say "Le Poisson Rouge" on air, apropos of nothing, and I can be released. And yes, how Clay can be up now is ponderous. Or Medson for that matter.
	♥ 11:37pm efd: 'night, Medson! Thanks for listening and checking in.
	11:38pm Clay: Night Meds!
	11:39pm Clay: Rust never sleeps!
	♥ 11:40pm medson: Same to you Pidge and Julie
	11:47pm herb.nyc: I did theater earlier so I missed The Paranoid Style. But I saw them at union hall fri night. Goooood show. RChristgau was there too.
	♥ 11:50pm Mister Dobalina: These guys played a week or two ago in BK I believe, missed the show. Whomp whomp.
	♥ 11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Yes, the Sparks set on Brian's show was amazing!
	♥ 11:54pm efd: I still can't believe they were here!!
	♥ 11:58pm Kat in Chicago: lol thank you. now Julie can go to sleep
	♥ 11:59pm Julie M: Ahhh, I am released. Fun show, thanks, efd. And the game is final. I don't mind that it was Houston. Good night, good night.
	2:01am grtyvr: loved the show. thanks for the tunes....
