	9:13pm Kat in Chicago: Share The Land sounds better after all these years than I would have expected. Big fave of ten-year-old me.
	9:16pm CC: I don't think I would go overseas and try to brag about about us too much or anything!!!
	9:16pm medson: Hi Scott. How’s the skeleton crew holding up?
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: That Mice song sounded like one that Joe B. will note was lowercase in the database one day.
	9:19pm efd: ha! In my defense I'm not the only lower-case DJ on WFMU!
	9:19pm dano59: Share the Land ... sigh. Big influence on the cynic I'd become..
	9:19pm Kat in Chicago: Insane in the membrane, lowercase in the database
	9:20pm Handy Haversack: No -- and there are lots of uses in Headline Caps, it turns out. (Top marks, Nate K.!)
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: better lowercase than ALL CAPS
	9:22pm βrian: Ebrace the case.
	9:22pm CC: I sure do love Saturdaze!!!...:)
	9:23pm medson: @efd haha.
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: "Ebrace the Case" was on R.E.M.'s New Adventures in Hifi, right?
	9:24pm Kat in Chicago: LOL Handy!
	9:24pm βrian: Damn. "Embrace!"
	9:26pm TDK60: Evenin' E.F.D.
	9:26pm βrian: ... or ignore case, and stick to Morse code.

	9:32pm Tookie Wuthry Guffy: losing vitality
	9:34pm Alex of Chicago: long live the best show
	9:34pm Aitch: Loved Sweet as a kid
	9:34pm Michael in Montclair: Evenin' EFD and the rest of the WFMU gang, fellow listeners and skeleton crew included.
	9:35pm CC: Vitality is simply a state of mind...and physical prowess!!!...:)
	9:35pm medson: Sweet.
	9:36pm Woo: Oh, I get the connection now. Death.
	9:40pm Eddy in Australia: Hey Evan. Happy Anniversary!
	9:41pm CC: I'm pretty sure that's what's wrong with the world is people go to the doctor too much and they take too many drugs!!!
	9:42pm Handy Haversack: "He may not have been the best bass player to ever wear a cape, but no bass player ever wore a cape better than Steve Priest did." Nice. Wanted also to comment on how good that Pointers Sisters song is, but the weapons-grade cat decided to get on my lap, and I'm pretty nervous about sudden moves! Happy anniversary, efd! Making time a better stream one show at a time!
	9:43pm Woo: The Dan Epstein piece on The Sweet is great.
	9:47pm listener paul: sweet, or the sweet, takes me back to tom scharpling.
	9:48pm Kat in Chicago: Bass players wearing capes takes me back to mice wearing capes
	9:50pm Kat in Chicago: If your brain isn't scattered right now you might not have one
	9:51pm Steve from Dunwoody: "The whole situation is just ridiculous." --EF Davies
	9:51pm TDK60: Say "SCIENCE!" like Thomas Dolby did, sorta.
	9:51pm CC: Wearing a mask is being responsible!!!
	9:51pm Bootsie: Evan, you are speaking common sense. Which unfortunately is NOT all that common.
	9:52pm Handy Haversack: Word, efd. Word. @TDK60, Kate just shouted "Science! It works!"
	9:52pm Alex of Chicago: "This town's been wearing tatters (scattered)..." Sorry.
	9:52pm chris_in_space: Hear hear @efd! Well said, re: masks.
	9:52pm ultradamno: It's quite a time when The Insane Clown Posse are more level-headed on the issue than the White House.
	9:52pm medson: I saw maybe 10-12 maskless people waiting for the bus at the same bus stop. Shook my head.
	9:52pm radioronan: Congrats on staying in one slot for 10 years! Impressive feat on a station where consistently inconsistent is a t-shirt motto.
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: @radioronan: imgur.com...
	9:54pm Kat in Chicago: Masks are annoying and I really miss wearing lipstick but I don't go three feet past my door without wearing one and people in Chicago are pissing me off
	9:54pm efd: ha, thanks ronan! Well said. And thanks for the supportive comments everyone, I appreciate it!
	9:55pm CC: I honestly don't know why they don't have public service announcements telling everyone to wear a mask...like they did in the 50s???
	9:56pm Scott Williams: Medson! Sorry I missed your comment earlier. The Skeleton Crew persists! We are helping each other, along with the help of the FMU DJ and listener community at large, to keep our spirits as high as can be during such dispiriting times.
	9:57pm Kat in Chicago: Love you Skeletons, shame on Little Matty for eating all the cheese though
	9:57pm herb.nyc: Nicely said , Evan. I was at Hoboken Tunes yest. At bar next door was 1ft social distancing. Many walking had no mask. Not good. (Bought new Nada and Sleaford, used Sly and Family, and Randy Newman. Staff so friendly. Yeah!). And congratulations on ten years!!
	9:58pm Aitch: Heart Bones record is brilliant. Har Mar!
	9:59pm TDK60: My pedestrian moves have gotten like slalom skiing, weaving here, there, out to the street. / Hats off to the Skeletons, Scott.
	9:59pm Woo: @Kat in Chicago, yesterday I rode Metra for the first time in 3 months. Going downtown it was good, a dozen people all in masks, on the way back it's me in a mask and 3 dudes w/ no mask. And no conductors anywhere to be seen so the ride was FREE.
	10:00pm Jeezy: Wait. Did she just say, "can't even masturbate?!"
	10:00pm McGroovey: Why, yes, she did.
	10:00pm ultradamno: Yep.
	10:01pm Scott Williams: Hahaa, thank you Kat!
	10:01pm ultradamno: I'm guessing out of batteries.
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: Sorry about the unmasked idiots, Woo. I still haven't set foot on CTA or even a Lyft since March. If I need something I walk to get it (usually a mile or more each way) or pay & tip bigtime to get it delivered.
	10:01pm McGroovey: Oh, our virgin ears.
	10:02pm Jeezy: There's ALWAYS a way, if you ask me...
	10:03pm Jeezy: In other news, Joy Division's lawyer wants to speak to these Pernice Brothers...
	10:03pm McGroovey: Very New Order-y bass/baritione and guitar on this Pernice Bros. track.
	10:03pm CC: That's being New York smart, Kat in Chicago!!!
	10:03pm McGroovey: safeties
	10:03pm Kat in Chicago: Oh wow, y'all ain't kidding, very New Order.
	10:04pm Kat in Chicago: Also what the hell is a lie-yoon?
	10:04pm Handy Haversack: This one was pre-starred, but this makes 7 clicky-stars in a row. One more makes a Double Complete Haversack! Will it happen?! (Ow, crap, cat woke up, ow, damn!)
	10:04pm McGroovey: Hey, I an't complainin'. I love that sound.
	10:05pm herb.nyc: When joe Pernice played Mercury lounge (oct 2019?), his windbreaker had so many baseball team patches. I'm gonna make a bet w friend if MLB will be played this year. I lean to yes.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: CC, I've lived in New York, haha. Missing my annual visit this year, sigh.
	10:06pm Handy Haversack: I'd take the "no," @herb.nyc! Not that that means Giancarlo Stanton's calves will ever heal.
	10:07pm Kat in Chicago: Ima say no on MLB as well. My current temp employer does business with them and I don't think it's happening.
	10:08pm Steve: EFD, this 'Northern Song' by The Asteroid #4 has a really wonderful early 90's Brit Pop sound to it. Never heard of them before ? Reminds me of The High and Trash Can Sinatras.
	10:08pm ultradamno: @Jeezy It does seem like a failure of imagination
	10:10pm javakid: @Steve Asteroid #4 has a great album from 2011 - Hail To The Clear Figurines. Same beautiful vibe.
	10:11pm Scott Williams: Wow, Asteroid #4 is still around?! EFD, according to their bandcamp they're based in Santa Cruz CA now.
	10:11pm Steve: Nice to hear that, JavaKid. Is it available on CD ?
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: KCMO for CB Radio Gorgeous.
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: (as you said ...)
	10:13pm javakid: Steve - kinda good news bad news. The good news is yes - the bad news is it ain't cheap. www.discogs.com...
	10:14pm herb.nyc: Thx for NO tips on MLB. And thx for Friday Bandcamp reminder for joe pernice, Evan, esp w its Juneteenth donation.
	10:14pm ultradamno: If the president had her problem he wouldn't have gotten shipped off to military school, according to his niece.
	10:15pm Steve: Yeow! thar's one expensive CD for 2011, JavaKid ! I'll have to wait on that one.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: hey efd and all
	10:19pm efd: hi there coel!
	10:19pm Handy Haversack: Hey coe la.
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: Han dy!
	10:24pm radioronan: @handy - ha - That t-shirt looks custom tailored. Like @herb.nyc said thanks for Joe Pernice info. Kicking myself for missing that show at the merc.
	10:27pm Handy Haversack: Pernice Bros.' Bandcamp says they are playing Le Poisson Rouge in July, which feels unlikely.
	10:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: APP = Yay!
	10:28pm full metal monkey: Haven’t heard this in a while. Nice
	10:29pm efd: I saw that too, Handy. I'm sure it's just something leftover that hasn't been updated yet.
	10:29pm CC: This song goes out to our current president!!!
	10:29pm full metal monkey: @cc lol
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: yup ^ (all above comments about this song)
	10:30pm Steve: Great APP song!
	10:30pm full metal monkey: What kinda life is that. No f’en way
	10:32pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, efd -- that's pretty common, I think. Kate just updated theirs a couple of weeks ago by taking down shows. I think this coming Sat. was the last one they had planned in the city (they were going to invite JC's own Porchistas to the gig!). Marking off gigs that won't happen has been one sad factor of the past nineteen million weekmonths.
	10:37pm herb.nyc: Pernice Bros at Le P Rouge is next month(?). I'm sure it won't happen, and I fear no rock shows in NYC thru December. Philharmonic canceled for rest of the year (days ago). fk sht pss.
	10:39pm steveL: TSS!
	10:40pm Handy Haversack: "Ridiculous," you say.
	10:41pm CC: I like to just sit in the chairs by the wall and hold people's drinks... and then when they come back to get them... I tell them I accidentally spilled it!!!...hehehe...
	10:42pm ultradamno: How many banana bands are there? Go Banana Go, Melt Banana, The Striped Bananas, Banana Splits...
	10:43pm ultradamno: High potassium rock n' roll
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: bananarama
	10:45pm full metal monkey: There should be a band called banana bread
	10:46pm stereojinx: The bananas
	10:46pm CC: I got to go and eat some more spaghetti now...bblm...:)
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: it has to be a really good band. a really good, moist band.
	10:47pm ultradamno: Evidently no Bananafishermen, really seems like an ideal name for some whimsical indie pop band.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: I love "Subsonic Ebonics"
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: there's another band with "banana" in the name but i'm having trouble and i refuse to use the web when it's right in my brain, somewhere...
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: It's a perfect day for banana bands.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ...'sorry for making such a racket looking for it
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Shana Banana? ...no, that's not it...
	10:56pm ultradamno: New York New York big city of dreams but everything in New York...I don't think it's the same but you can sing it along to it.
	10:57pm ultradamno: Well, before that guy took over.
	10:58pm javakid: Micro Chip League
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago: Don't remember MCL from back in the day and that surprises me.
	11:00pm javakid: @Kat it's got a bit of the Play It Again Sam vibe. More for the club than the industrial crowd though.
	11:02pm efd: shoot, I was hoping you might be able to fill me in on MCL, Kat! Recent discovery for me.
	11:04pm Handy Haversack: It was a nice segue into the Revillos!
	11:04pm Kat in Chicago: @efd it sounds like javakid knows about MCL! I was moving away from club sounds by 1987, I think. Funny how that worked out. Oh BTW, it looks like Destination Unknown will be back on the air soon - they are letting me pre-record, the station's automation should be able to play the file. I got an earlier slot too!
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Congrats, Kat! Great news!
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Handy. I'm stoked, so much music I haven't been able to play. Just waiting for my mic to come from Zzounds tomorrow.
	11:10pm ultradamno: Makes me think of the cafeteria chain, for the first time in a very long time www.mostmetro.com...
	11:11pm Scott Williams: THANKS FOR THE WARNING EVAN!!! SMOKE BREAK
	11:11pm steveL: Kay: What will your studio setup be like? My home office (not recording related) is a step away from a being kid’s blanket fort, which is almost awesome.
	11:12pm steveL: My ears thank you for your thoughtfulness, efd
	11:13pm steveL: Kat, not Kay. Autocorrect forgets I actually have a close friend named Kay.
	11:13pm Kat in Chicago: @ultradamno never heard of that chain, but now I want fried fish and chocolate cream pie!
	11:18pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL it's a work in progress. my WFH space is a nook in my kitchen, but I'm working on a bigger spot in my bedroom with a DIY desk that I plan to use for music efforts and sewing. It's possible that the bedroom may be too noisy though (it faces the Kennedy Expressway), so I'll use the kitchen spot if the mic picks up the Metra going by or sirens. Hoping it won't. I always talk over music anyway.
	11:21pm efd: that's one advantage to me being in the suburbs — I have a window open that's like 3 feet away.
	11:21pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL my show is all digital and I don't need that much space for my setup, I had to cram it into a pretty small space in the WLUW studio as well. I won't have their nice Genelec monitors though :(
	11:22pm Ignore Function: Ha! MCL cafeteria. Haven't thought about that place in years.
	11:23pm Kat in Chicago: speaking of blanket forts, I think Bryce has done at least one of his shows from one.
	11:27pm Scott Williams: A Kilgour quality in the voice of Phil Hayes
	11:29pm Early Rejecter: So great to hear MCL! Forgot about that song; probably haven’t heard in 30 years or so. Spent many weekends dancing to that and other new beat/EBM/industrial in Cleveland clubs back then. Feeling the need to put a mix together now.
	11:30pm efd: cool, glad I could jog that memory for you Early Rejecter! Scott, agree on the Kilgourosity of Phil Hayes.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: it reminded me of something, but i don't know who Kilgour is -or i don't remember
	11:31pm Kat in Chicago: @coel - The Clean
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: (besides kilgore trout, the fictitious author based on the real author that created him)
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: oh Thanks Kat. it was in here somewhere; but i don't know the clean all that well
	11:33pm Handy Haversack: (@coela: OR DID HE?)
	11:33pm ultradamno: Kilgrave, the super villain?
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: Handy hahaha!
	11:34pm Kat in Chicago: The Clean is delightful.
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: delightful sounds good
	11:37pm Scott Williams: ^^ what Kat said! ^^
	11:37pm Kat in Chicago: I went through a New Zealand phase and most of it didn't stick but I am still quite fond of The Clean.
	11:37pm steveL: Kat: Walking the wire of Chicago sounds! My son lived in the South Loop for a bit. Not much “quiet.” May or may not be appropriate for your purposes, Just bought a pair of OontZ Angle 3 Rain Dance Bluetooth speakers for $54 bucks. Not sure if you can hardwire.
	11:37pm ultradamno: And Scott Walker, though that's not really the good Scott Walker's name, but he was using it first...
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: Sarah Palin should sue sarah palin for tarnishing her potentially good reputation
	11:43pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL I'm good on monitors. Just got a deal on some gold-trimmed Mackies which matched my bedroom color scheme and should also work for the new setup :) I'm listening to the show right now on a set of Tascams with Bluetooth, and my oldest set (M-Audio) keeps me entertained in the WFM nook. Klipsch bookshelf speakers for the stereo. Kind of a lot of speakers for a modestly-sized one BR.
	11:44pm Kat in Chicago: *WFH not WFM, I always do that. I don't have a Whole Foods Market in my kitchen.
	11:45pm efd: I wish they would have just made these two songs one single track!
	11:45pm Kat in Chicago: I can hear why, yes.
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: "i'll shine my light through the cool colorado rain..."
	11:47pm Frank77: What great sounding band..Rose City..nice.
	11:48pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, EFD! Thanks for turning me on the The Mice. That's my new favorite song of the summer. Cheers everyone, and stay safe!
	11:49pm Muhsin: Nice! I hear I Know Your Rider, by many and Grateful Dead
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Same to you, Fishtown Mike!
	11:51pm efd: thanks for listening Fishtown Mike!
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: Cheers Fishtown Mike
	11:53pm mariano: Hey efd, crew, folks. Just got back in, glad to catch the last few minutes of what sounds like an awesome show!
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: hey mariano, yes it'll be worth revisiting.
	11:54pm efd: hey mariano! I can confirm, it was awesome. ;)
	11:54pm Scott Williams: Man, everything I hear from both Lewsberg and RCB just hits the spot
	11:55pm mariano: Woohoo!
	11:55pm Scott Williams: Thanks Evan! Great show tonight.
	11:55pm steveL: Yup. Great show, once again. Thanks efd, Scott W, skeletons, DJs, all y’all!
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: Agreed, Scott W! Thanks, efd. Thanks, Scott. Great show! Be well and strong, everyone.
	11:56pm Eddy in Australia: Confirming the show was awesome. Congratulations again on the ten-year milestone.
	11:58pm mariano: Thanks efd, look forward to the archive. Thank you Scott for board opping. Take care everyone! Oh and congrats on your 10-year medallion ;)
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks EFD and Scott, g'night all!
	12:00am Scott Williams: @efd, it looks like the swag closet!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! Thanks Scott and other skeleton crewfolk!
	12:00am sufferwords: Randy!!! made me the best kasha varnishkas i ever ate
	3:24am PhilPhil: Thanks for the shout out - The Phil Hayes & the Trees EP is available over on the Ikarus Records Bandcamp page...

	9:12pm Handy Haversack: Woo, glad you made it!
	9:13pm Kat in Chicago: Share The Land sounds better after all these years than I would have expected. Big fave of ten-year-old me.
	9:16pm CC: I don't think I would go overseas and try to brag about about us too much or anything!!!
	9:16pm medson: Hi Scott. How’s the skeleton crew holding up?
	9:18pm Handy Haversack: That Mice song sounded like one that Joe B. will note was lowercase in the database one day.
	9:19pm efd: ha! In my defense I'm not the only lower-case DJ on WFMU!
	9:19pm dano59: Share the Land ... sigh. Big influence on the cynic I'd become..
	9:19pm Kat in Chicago: Insane in the membrane, lowercase in the database
	9:20pm Handy Haversack: No -- and there are lots of uses in Headline Caps, it turns out. (Top marks, Nate K.!)
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: better lowercase than ALL CAPS
	9:22pm βrian: Ebrace the case.
	9:22pm CC: I sure do love Saturdaze!!!...:)
	9:23pm medson: @efd haha.
	9:23pm Handy Haversack: "Ebrace the Case" was on R.E.M.'s New Adventures in Hifi, right?
	9:24pm Kat in Chicago: LOL Handy!
	9:24pm βrian: Damn. "Embrace!"
	9:26pm TDK60: Evenin' E.F.D.
	9:26pm βrian: ... or ignore case, and stick to Morse code.
	9:31pm P-90: the FUNK
	9:31pm efd: welcome βrian, TDK, Handy, Kat, meds, Alex, ultra d. and all! Appreciate having you here tonight! you too P-90!
	9:32pm Tookie Wuthry Guffy: losing vitality
	9:34pm Alex of Chicago: long live the best show
	9:34pm Aitch: Loved Sweet as a kid
	9:34pm Michael in Montclair: Evenin' EFD and the rest of the WFMU gang, fellow listeners and skeleton crew included.
	9:35pm CC: Vitality is simply a state of mind...and physical prowess!!!...:)
	9:35pm medson: Sweet.
	9:36pm Woo: Oh, I get the connection now. Death.
	9:40pm Eddy in Australia: Hey Evan. Happy Anniversary!
	9:41pm CC: I'm pretty sure that's what's wrong with the world is people go to the doctor too much and they take too many drugs!!!
	9:42pm Handy Haversack: "He may not have been the best bass player to ever wear a cape, but no bass player ever wore a cape better than Steve Priest did." Nice. Wanted also to comment on how good that Pointers Sisters song is, but the weapons-grade cat decided to get on my lap, and I'm pretty nervous about sudden moves! Happy anniversary, efd! Making time a better stream one show at a time!
	9:43pm Woo: The Dan Epstein piece on The Sweet is great.
	9:47pm listener paul: sweet, or the sweet, takes me back to tom scharpling.
	9:48pm Kat in Chicago: Bass players wearing capes takes me back to mice wearing capes
	9:50pm Kat in Chicago: If your brain isn't scattered right now you might not have one
	9:51pm Steve from Dunwoody: "The whole situation is just ridiculous." --EF Davies
	9:51pm TDK60: Say "SCIENCE!" like Thomas Dolby did, sorta.
	9:51pm CC: Wearing a mask is being responsible!!!
	9:51pm Bootsie: Evan, you are speaking common sense. Which unfortunately is NOT all that common.
	9:52pm Handy Haversack: Word, efd. Word. @TDK60, Kate just shouted "Science! It works!"
	9:52pm Alex of Chicago: "This town's been wearing tatters (scattered)..." Sorry.
	9:52pm chris_in_space: Hear hear @efd! Well said, re: masks.
	9:52pm ultradamno: It's quite a time when The Insane Clown Posse are more level-headed on the issue than the White House.
	9:52pm medson: I saw maybe 10-12 maskless people waiting for the bus at the same bus stop. Shook my head.
	9:52pm radioronan: Congrats on staying in one slot for 10 years! Impressive feat on a station where consistently inconsistent is a t-shirt motto.
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: @radioronan: imgur.com...
	9:54pm Kat in Chicago: Masks are annoying and I really miss wearing lipstick but I don't go three feet past my door without wearing one and people in Chicago are pissing me off
	9:54pm efd: ha, thanks ronan! Well said. And thanks for the supportive comments everyone, I appreciate it!
	9:55pm CC: I honestly don't know why they don't have public service announcements telling everyone to wear a mask...like they did in the 50s???
	9:56pm Scott Williams: Medson! Sorry I missed your comment earlier. The Skeleton Crew persists! We are helping each other, along with the help of the FMU DJ and listener community at large, to keep our spirits as high as can be during such dispiriting times.
	9:57pm Kat in Chicago: Love you Skeletons, shame on Little Matty for eating all the cheese though
	9:57pm herb.nyc: Nicely said , Evan. I was at Hoboken Tunes yest. At bar next door was 1ft social distancing. Many walking had no mask. Not good. (Bought new Nada and Sleaford, used Sly and Family, and Randy Newman. Staff so friendly. Yeah!). And congratulations on ten years!!
	9:58pm Aitch: Heart Bones record is brilliant. Har Mar!
	9:59pm TDK60: My pedestrian moves have gotten like slalom skiing, weaving here, there, out to the street. / Hats off to the Skeletons, Scott.
	9:59pm Woo: @Kat in Chicago, yesterday I rode Metra for the first time in 3 months. Going downtown it was good, a dozen people all in masks, on the way back it's me in a mask and 3 dudes w/ no mask. And no conductors anywhere to be seen so the ride was FREE.
	10:00pm Jeezy: Wait. Did she just say, "can't even masturbate?!"
	10:00pm McGroovey: Why, yes, she did.
	10:00pm ultradamno: Yep.
	10:01pm Scott Williams: Hahaa, thank you Kat!
	10:01pm ultradamno: I'm guessing out of batteries.
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: Sorry about the unmasked idiots, Woo. I still haven't set foot on CTA or even a Lyft since March. If I need something I walk to get it (usually a mile or more each way) or pay & tip bigtime to get it delivered.
	10:01pm McGroovey: Oh, our virgin ears.
	10:02pm Jeezy: There's ALWAYS a way, if you ask me...
	10:03pm Jeezy: In other news, Joy Division's lawyer wants to speak to these Pernice Brothers...
	10:03pm McGroovey: Very New Order-y bass/baritione and guitar on this Pernice Bros. track.
	10:03pm CC: That's being New York smart, Kat in Chicago!!!
	10:03pm McGroovey: safeties
	10:03pm Kat in Chicago: Oh wow, y'all ain't kidding, very New Order.
	10:04pm Kat in Chicago: Also what the hell is a lie-yoon?
	10:04pm Handy Haversack: This one was pre-starred, but this makes 7 clicky-stars in a row. One more makes a Double Complete Haversack! Will it happen?! (Ow, crap, cat woke up, ow, damn!)
	10:04pm McGroovey: Hey, I an't complainin'. I love that sound.
	10:05pm herb.nyc: When joe Pernice played Mercury lounge (oct 2019?), his windbreaker had so many baseball team patches. I'm gonna make a bet w friend if MLB will be played this year. I lean to yes.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: CC, I've lived in New York, haha. Missing my annual visit this year, sigh.
	10:06pm Handy Haversack: I'd take the "no," @herb.nyc! Not that that means Giancarlo Stanton's calves will ever heal.
	10:07pm Kat in Chicago: Ima say no on MLB as well. My current temp employer does business with them and I don't think it's happening.
	10:08pm Steve: EFD, this 'Northern Song' by The Asteroid #4 has a really wonderful early 90's Brit Pop sound to it. Never heard of them before ? Reminds me of The High and Trash Can Sinatras.
	10:08pm ultradamno: @Jeezy It does seem like a failure of imagination
	10:10pm javakid: @Steve Asteroid #4 has a great album from 2011 - Hail To The Clear Figurines. Same beautiful vibe.
	10:11pm Scott Williams: Wow, Asteroid #4 is still around?! EFD, according to their bandcamp they're based in Santa Cruz CA now.
	10:11pm Steve: Nice to hear that, JavaKid. Is it available on CD ?
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: KCMO for CB Radio Gorgeous.
	10:12pm Handy Haversack: (as you said ...)
	10:13pm javakid: Steve - kinda good news bad news. The good news is yes - the bad news is it ain't cheap. www.discogs.com...
	10:14pm herb.nyc: Thx for NO tips on MLB. And thx for Friday Bandcamp reminder for joe pernice, Evan, esp w its Juneteenth donation.
	10:14pm ultradamno: If the president had her problem he wouldn't have gotten shipped off to military school, according to his niece.
	10:15pm Steve: Yeow! thar's one expensive CD for 2011, JavaKid ! I'll have to wait on that one.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: hey efd and all
	10:19pm efd: hi there coel!
	10:19pm Handy Haversack: Hey coe la.
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: Han dy!
	10:24pm radioronan: @handy - ha - That t-shirt looks custom tailored. Like @herb.nyc said thanks for Joe Pernice info. Kicking myself for missing that show at the merc.
	10:27pm Handy Haversack: Pernice Bros.' Bandcamp says they are playing Le Poisson Rouge in July, which feels unlikely.
	10:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: APP = Yay!
	10:28pm full metal monkey: Haven’t heard this in a while. Nice
	10:29pm efd: I saw that too, Handy. I'm sure it's just something leftover that hasn't been updated yet.
	10:29pm CC: This song goes out to our current president!!!
	10:29pm full metal monkey: @cc lol
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: yup ^ (all above comments about this song)
	10:30pm Steve: Great APP song!
	10:30pm full metal monkey: What kinda life is that. No f’en way
	10:32pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, efd -- that's pretty common, I think. Kate just updated theirs a couple of weeks ago by taking down shows. I think this coming Sat. was the last one they had planned in the city (they were going to invite JC's own Porchistas to the gig!). Marking off gigs that won't happen has been one sad factor of the past nineteen million weekmonths.
	10:37pm herb.nyc: Pernice Bros at Le P Rouge is next month(?). I'm sure it won't happen, and I fear no rock shows in NYC thru December. Philharmonic canceled for rest of the year (days ago). fk sht pss.
	10:39pm steveL: TSS!
	10:40pm Handy Haversack: "Ridiculous," you say.
	10:41pm CC: I like to just sit in the chairs by the wall and hold people's drinks... and then when they come back to get them... I tell them I accidentally spilled it!!!...hehehe...
	10:42pm ultradamno: How many banana bands are there? Go Banana Go, Melt Banana, The Striped Bananas, Banana Splits...
	10:43pm ultradamno: High potassium rock n' roll
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: bananarama
	10:45pm full metal monkey: There should be a band called banana bread
	10:46pm stereojinx: The bananas
	10:46pm CC: I got to go and eat some more spaghetti now...bblm...:)
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: it has to be a really good band. a really good, moist band.
	10:47pm ultradamno: Evidently no Bananafishermen, really seems like an ideal name for some whimsical indie pop band.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: I love "Subsonic Ebonics"
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: there's another band with "banana" in the name but i'm having trouble and i refuse to use the web when it's right in my brain, somewhere...
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: It's a perfect day for banana bands.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ...'sorry for making such a racket looking for it
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Shana Banana? ...no, that's not it...
	10:56pm ultradamno: New York New York big city of dreams but everything in New York...I don't think it's the same but you can sing it along to it.
	10:57pm ultradamno: Well, before that guy took over.
	10:58pm javakid: Micro Chip League
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago: Don't remember MCL from back in the day and that surprises me.
	11:00pm javakid: @Kat it's got a bit of the Play It Again Sam vibe. More for the club than the industrial crowd though.
	11:02pm efd: shoot, I was hoping you might be able to fill me in on MCL, Kat! Recent discovery for me.
	11:04pm Handy Haversack: It was a nice segue into the Revillos!
	11:04pm Kat in Chicago: @efd it sounds like javakid knows about MCL! I was moving away from club sounds by 1987, I think. Funny how that worked out. Oh BTW, it looks like Destination Unknown will be back on the air soon - they are letting me pre-record, the station's automation should be able to play the file. I got an earlier slot too!
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Congrats, Kat! Great news!
	11:06pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Handy. I'm stoked, so much music I haven't been able to play. Just waiting for my mic to come from Zzounds tomorrow.
	11:10pm ultradamno: Makes me think of the cafeteria chain, for the first time in a very long time www.mostmetro.com...
	11:11pm Scott Williams: THANKS FOR THE WARNING EVAN!!! SMOKE BREAK
	11:11pm steveL: Kay: What will your studio setup be like? My home office (not recording related) is a step away from a being kid’s blanket fort, which is almost awesome.
	11:12pm steveL: My ears thank you for your thoughtfulness, efd
	11:13pm steveL: Kat, not Kay. Autocorrect forgets I actually have a close friend named Kay.
	11:13pm Kat in Chicago: @ultradamno never heard of that chain, but now I want fried fish and chocolate cream pie!
	11:18pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL it's a work in progress. my WFH space is a nook in my kitchen, but I'm working on a bigger spot in my bedroom with a DIY desk that I plan to use for music efforts and sewing. It's possible that the bedroom may be too noisy though (it faces the Kennedy Expressway), so I'll use the kitchen spot if the mic picks up the Metra going by or sirens. Hoping it won't. I always talk over music anyway.
	11:21pm efd: that's one advantage to me being in the suburbs — I have a window open that's like 3 feet away.
	11:21pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL my show is all digital and I don't need that much space for my setup, I had to cram it into a pretty small space in the WLUW studio as well. I won't have their nice Genelec monitors though :(
	11:22pm Ignore Function: Ha! MCL cafeteria. Haven't thought about that place in years.
	11:23pm Kat in Chicago: speaking of blanket forts, I think Bryce has done at least one of his shows from one.
	11:27pm Scott Williams: A Kilgour quality in the voice of Phil Hayes
	11:29pm Early Rejecter: So great to hear MCL! Forgot about that song; probably haven’t heard in 30 years or so. Spent many weekends dancing to that and other new beat/EBM/industrial in Cleveland clubs back then. Feeling the need to put a mix together now.
	11:30pm efd: cool, glad I could jog that memory for you Early Rejecter! Scott, agree on the Kilgourosity of Phil Hayes.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: it reminded me of something, but i don't know who Kilgour is -or i don't remember
	11:31pm Kat in Chicago: @coel - The Clean
	11:31pm coelacanth∅: (besides kilgore trout, the fictitious author based on the real author that created him)
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: oh Thanks Kat. it was in here somewhere; but i don't know the clean all that well
	11:33pm Handy Haversack: (@coela: OR DID HE?)
	11:33pm ultradamno: Kilgrave, the super villain?
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: Handy hahaha!
	11:34pm Kat in Chicago: The Clean is delightful.
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: delightful sounds good
	11:37pm Scott Williams: ^^ what Kat said! ^^
	11:37pm Kat in Chicago: I went through a New Zealand phase and most of it didn't stick but I am still quite fond of The Clean.
	11:37pm steveL: Kat: Walking the wire of Chicago sounds! My son lived in the South Loop for a bit. Not much “quiet.” May or may not be appropriate for your purposes, Just bought a pair of OontZ Angle 3 Rain Dance Bluetooth speakers for $54 bucks. Not sure if you can hardwire.
	11:37pm ultradamno: And Scott Walker, though that's not really the good Scott Walker's name, but he was using it first...
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: Sarah Palin should sue sarah palin for tarnishing her potentially good reputation
	11:43pm Kat in Chicago: @steveL I'm good on monitors. Just got a deal on some gold-trimmed Mackies which matched my bedroom color scheme and should also work for the new setup :) I'm listening to the show right now on a set of Tascams with Bluetooth, and my oldest set (M-Audio) keeps me entertained in the WFM nook. Klipsch bookshelf speakers for the stereo. Kind of a lot of speakers for a modestly-sized one BR.
	11:44pm Kat in Chicago: *WFH not WFM, I always do that. I don't have a Whole Foods Market in my kitchen.
	11:45pm efd: I wish they would have just made these two songs one single track!
	11:45pm Kat in Chicago: I can hear why, yes.
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: "i'll shine my light through the cool colorado rain..."
	11:47pm Frank77: What great sounding band..Rose City..nice.
	11:48pm Fishtown Mike: Great show, EFD! Thanks for turning me on the The Mice. That's my new favorite song of the summer. Cheers everyone, and stay safe!
	11:49pm Muhsin: Nice! I hear I Know Your Rider, by many and Grateful Dead
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Same to you, Fishtown Mike!
	11:51pm efd: thanks for listening Fishtown Mike!
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: Cheers Fishtown Mike
	11:53pm mariano: Hey efd, crew, folks. Just got back in, glad to catch the last few minutes of what sounds like an awesome show!
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: hey mariano, yes it'll be worth revisiting.
	11:54pm efd: hey mariano! I can confirm, it was awesome. ;)
	11:54pm Scott Williams: Man, everything I hear from both Lewsberg and RCB just hits the spot
	11:55pm mariano: Woohoo!
	11:55pm Scott Williams: Thanks Evan! Great show tonight.
	11:55pm steveL: Yup. Great show, once again. Thanks efd, Scott W, skeletons, DJs, all y’all!
	11:56pm Handy Haversack: Agreed, Scott W! Thanks, efd. Thanks, Scott. Great show! Be well and strong, everyone.
	11:56pm Eddy in Australia: Confirming the show was awesome. Congratulations again on the ten-year milestone.
	11:58pm mariano: Thanks efd, look forward to the archive. Thank you Scott for board opping. Take care everyone! Oh and congrats on your 10-year medallion ;)
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks EFD and Scott, g'night all!
	12:00am Scott Williams: @efd, it looks like the swag closet!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! Thanks Scott and other skeleton crewfolk!
	12:00am sufferwords: Randy!!! made me the best kasha varnishkas i ever ate
	3:24am PhilPhil: Thanks for the shout out - The Phil Hayes & the Trees EP is available over on the Ikarus Records Bandcamp page...
