Listener comments!
	9:01pm sim: Turned on WFMU just in time!
	9:04pm phillippe bastille: good evening, efd and friends
	9:05pm JakeGould: Itza Mon-key!!!
	9:05pm CJ@Shawnee OH: Cheers All. Hi EFD. Glad I tuned in.
	9:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Go Bruins?
	9:08pm efd: Welcome everyone! Thanks for tuning in... hope you enjoy the fruits of my Kansas City (MO) record store shopping!
	9:08pm efd: @Ken FHP sure, I'll allow it. (I only have a strong rooting interest in baseball, but I was a Bruins fan as a kid)
	9:09pm CC: I think so..!..:)O(:
	9:10pm CJ@Shawnee OH: Sounds like you hit "pay dirt". :):)")
	9:11pm medson: good evening efd and everyone
	9:20pm BH: reporting in from the KC Suburbs to say that it rained a little bit this afternoon and will rain some more this weekend
	9:21pm CJ@Shawnee OH: Do any of you guys use distilled water/alcohol. Apply to album then use one of those felt/terry cloth record cleaners like from Radio Shack to take the static out of the record? I used to do that when I played vinyl when I was making mix cassette tapes. Just wondering?
	9:21pm efd: hi BH! We somehow managed to avoid the rain entirely in KC last week! I think it rained some overnight, but never when we were out and about.
	9:22pm RobinSays: Ava Cherry! Excellent choice Evan. An amazing vocalist. i was always impressed that David Bowie fancied her. DOesn't she sing backup on "Panic In Detroit?"
	9:25pm CJ@Shawnee OH: Reminds me a bit like Pat Travers
	9:27pm efd: @RobinSays not positive, but I believe so
	9:27pm RobinSays: Am I hallucinating or does this Dr. John song steal a riff from Kraftwerk?
	9:33pm JakeGould: This rips off more than a few hip hop and dance sound tropes from back in the day. Even a bit of “The Breaks” in it.
	9:39pm BH: Royals games, as in multiple ones? I'm on a half-season ticket plan and the trip i'll be taking tomorrow to Omaha will be a little longer than usual because of that whole "Interstate highway is closed due to flooding" thing
	9:45pm Uncle Michael: Heyo!
	9:46pm efd: hey BH, yep, went to the Royals-Red Sox games last Weds and Thurs
	9:47pm efd: and Uncle Michael joined us on Wednesday night!
	9:48pm Uncle Michael: That seems like only last week.
	9:50pm efd: time flies!
	9:53pm medson: KC is definitely a place I'd like to go watch some baseball
	9:57pm efd: it's a beautiful park!
	9:58pm Uncle Michael: And everyone is so polite.
	9:59pm medson: @uncle Michael thats sounds like a nice change of pace haha
	10:01pm dlee: Flamin Ohs were one of the best live bands in Mpls at the time of Prince the Replacements the Suicide Commandos, Husker Du, Suburbs, etc. That was great fun to hear!
	10:06pm dlee: You are correct sir- they were Flamingo
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: faux-see-dee-see!
	10:14pm efd: my favorite genre!
	10:16pm Uncle Michael: My tribute band would play everything just exactly perfectly and absolutely the same every time. It would be called OC/DC
	10:18pm efd: ha!
	10:19pm Choggie: OC/DC lmao
	10:33pm a: oc/DC joke Is amazing
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: fauxroder!
	10:36pm efd: oh boy
	10:46pm Uncle Michael: all killer, no filler tonight, EFD
	10:48pm efd: you say that now...
	10:48pm Uncle Michael: later I'll be asleep
	10:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: No sleep 'til Moctar!
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: OMG
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: This is my fault.
	10:52pm steveL: Nice matchup
	10:52pm efd: it's really not, I've had this segue in my head for a couple of months now
	10:53pm Uncle Michael: I fear I reminded you.
	10:53pm steveL: ...although the Modu Moctar tif reminds me of Simple Kind of Man.
	10:53pm steveL: Riff
	10:54pm efd: @steveL there's always next week!
	10:54pm steveL: Dare to dream!
	10:54pm efd: @UM I deliberately didn't say anything so as not to ruin the surprise, but this would have happened regardless.
	10:56pm steveL: The secrets of the WFMU DJs, revealed.
	10:56pm Uncle Michael: I feel better now, thanks!
	10:56pm Thomas: Journey. Are you trying to give me nightmares of high school parties?
	11:03pm steveL: Aw, Wednesday. If I were anywhere nearby, I’d go. Might visit DC in September to intercept a date there.
	11:04pm medow: wheel in the sky??? it sound almost exactly like the stone roses to me. regardless, I like him, I liked your interview with him last week, and I think your show is pretty awesome. Thanks Evan
	11:06pm neilwarren: M’dou Moctar is sold out! I put off ordering them until it was too late. efd, don’t you have any to give away?
	11:06pm Marc15: Start the Gladys Knight And The Pips Song again And say “Ticket”
