	9:09pm dave wuz here: floyin aggin
	9:10pm Folsom: I just found out the free music archive is shutting down. I'm surprised it is not on the WFMU home page.
	9:11pm Quasi Mojo: Very sad about FMA. I thought it was always going to be there.
	9:12pm seth from muddy creek: Making me think about BMX Bandits
	9:14pm Aitch: This spys' one is really dreadful. Need some Loverboy now to heighten the awkward
	9:15pm seth from muddy creek: Ahh. Was just referring to this track with the BMX reference. Bummed about FMA.
	9:19pm herb.nyc: Happy Wednesday! I have my receiver volume higher than normal- Evan's vg show is even vg'r! (Doesn't apply to "relax", however)
	9:23pm efd: hi everyone! Thanks for tuning in tonight, and thanks to those who have commented! Always nice to see you.

	9:24pm jmd: EFD, UM!
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: JMD!
	9:34pm hello: has phish been on? am i too late?
	9:36pm Uncle Michael: I totally would have deleted that email.
	9:40pm Parq: That was some story, Evan. Clasping your hand in this time of sadness for you.
	9:41pm Quasi Mojo: Nice tribute. RIP Trevor.
	9:41pm hello: @efd sorry for my rudeness , wasn't listening when i commented. rip trevor
	9:42pm efd: when I met Trevor in London one of the first things I did was show him and his business partner the email he sent me that I forwarded to my girlfriend with a note that said "I think this must be a scam of some sort."
	9:42pm efd: and we all had a good laugh.
	9:42pm seth from muddy creek: Condolences. We are lucky to have the time we have.
	9:42pm Tome: sorry EFD ,, sweet Guy i can see that in the photo man , nice warm genuine smile too both of you !
	9:44pm Quasi Mojo: He actually was pretty enterprising, as he was already a fan of the show, but was seeing if there was a possibility of a business connection. Why not?
	9:45pm efd: Yep, he was working with radio presenters and other media folks in the UK so it seemed like a natural extension.
	9:46pm Uncle Michael: condolences, Evan
	9:49pm efd: appreciate the thoughts everyone, thanks.
	9:54pm Robin Eisgrau: Going by the album cover, there were eight people in The Dooleys. That's a heck of a lot. Were some of them backup dancers?
	9:57pm efd: I actually don't know much at all about them, Robin!
	9:59pm Robin Eisgrau: I used to voraciously read British pop magazines in the mid-eighties: Smash Hits, No.1, NME and Melody Maker and I think No.1 said snarky things about The Dooleys and Shakatak.
	10:08pm Robin Eisgrau: Very sorry about the loss of your friend, Evan.
	10:13pm efd: thanks Robin
	10:15pm Ajax: Somebody beat me to covering Get The Message! Damn it. Also I love the EFD show.
	10:15pm Quasi Mojo: Carlisle, oh Carlisle. This is lovely.
	10:16pm efd: @Ajax there's no shame in being beaten by Miriam, at least! (And thank you.)
	10:23pm neeelz: This is nice, bless you @efd
	10:32pm Scraps: Usually I can’t comment on E”F”D’s show because somehow it doesn’t work except about the first half hour or so on my iPad (comments work in nearly all other all shows). Anyway, I moved to the WFMU app (which I don’t really like). Evan, I’m sorry about Trevor.
	10:36pm medson: good evening efd/everyone
	10:36pm efd: hi Scraps! Thanks for making the extra effort to comment, I appreciate it.
	10:38pm Scraps: One thing that’s weird about the app on iPad is, there’s no avatar. It’s all-text comment area, like 1988 or something.
	10:43pm medson: Every time I hear the beginning of this I hear Detroit Rock City
	10:43pm Aitch: Oh Sees very good, especially live.
	10:52pm efd: I haven't had the pleasure, but I've heard the same
	11:01pm Scraps: I love the Mulduar portion of the night
	11:10pm Barkevious Shabazz: Pip Blom good.
	11:15pm efd: Agree
	11:25pm jillydg: more Humblebums
	11:26pm Shane: New to chat hello
	11:26pm efd: welcome Shane! @jillydg Humblebums Humblebums Humblebums
	11:27pm Eddy in Australia: Hi Evan! Quick chime-in: You were right the first time - it's Can-bra. Also, check out the back cover of that Members album - one of the guys is wearing a 3RRR FM (Melbourne) tee (they toured here between the first two albums). I wore a more recent RRR tee when I was on your show!
	11:28pm efd: oh that's funny about the t-shirt! And thanks for confirming my pronunciation!
	11:29pm Shane: Any residents fans out there?
	11:29pm Eddy in Australia: By the way, amazing work by Hozac to get that Baby Grande album. They've also just released a Cheap Nasties LP for all you Kim Salmon/Scientists fans.
	11:33pm Shane: Is that on Numero Group?
	11:34pm Scraps: Today was my monthly pill refill: it’s monthly and only monthly because I have a morphine prescription (pain constantly since stroke), and the government doesn’t trust me, or any morphine gobbler, to have more than a month at a time. So I get to know the pharmacy people pretty well, and I get to know their store, and foodstuffs they put on sale regularly. So one of the foodstuffs I left with was four meaty sticks of Zoe’s Ghost Pepper Uncured Salami, and 12-pack-cans of Squirt to wash it down with. Hot, yum: makes pain somewhat less, no kidding. But mostly: yum, hot. Yum.
	11:36pm Eddy in Australia: Shane: No, but there was some Cheap Nasties material as part of that Scientists compilation (last year, I think) on Numero.
	11:38pm efd: @Scraps Personally I can't do soda + spicy food; the soda seems to amplify the spice to beyond my tolerance. But I'm glad you're enjoying it!
	11:42pm Scraps: I know what you mean, that first second or two is really hot. But it doesn’t last (for me)
	11:04am David Reilly: Love the music you dedicated to Trevor Jenkins. I wrote music for him over the years. Much loved, never to be forgotten friend x
	5:13am Dave Carroll: Thanks for the music, Evan, and thanks for being a friend to Trevor.
