	12:01pm clarke: i always thought this was War, ha ha
	12:01pm Figgsrock: EFD, this song is appropriate for my apartment as I have all 5 windows open and two fans going in an attempt to cool things off
	12:02pm Bjorn Be: Hi efd! Hi all.
	12:02pm Triple G: ::shimmies way in:: Hey all, hey Evan (I was volunteering last week, nice meeting/chatting with you)
	12:02pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:01 !!
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:01 ha ha ha wtf??
	12:03pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:01 gotta love NYC apartments in the winter time!
	12:03pm clarke: isn't it like 20 degrees up thar?
	12:04pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:02 It's been normal temps the last two winters, so I guess this year my landlord (or probably his wife) has decided to really crank up the boiler early and often. And since I have no control over ye olde radiators, here we are.
	12:04pm Bruce S.: hey efd all
	12:05pm clarke: here we are what will be your look this season?
	12:06pm Bob Tankenstein: WUDDUP EFD! DIGGING THE TUNES SO FAR
	12:06pm dave wuz here: i lived above the boiler room in an old apt building outside harvard sqr , dead of winter 3 windows open , shorts and t shirts , it was GREAT
	12:06pm Figgsrock: A question for the board -- what's the easiest way to get the WFMU stream on an Alexa device? I'll be upstate at my aunt's on Christmas Day and I would love to share the Holiday Music Funktacular with her as she loves all types of Xmas music.
	12:07pm clarke: stewie!
	12:08pm common: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" stewart!
	12:08pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:06 I think you can say "play WFMU on Tune In" but I haven't tried it myself in a while...
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" "If you don't like my arrogance you can suck my socks!"
	12:09pm efd: ↳ Triple G @12:02 Likewise! Thank you for volunteering!
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 i dont care for it!
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Song: "wrought iron man" by "steeplechase" hello Snake! !
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:09 Fine single but if pressed I would say "Too Kool for Kalypso" gets the gold medal.
	12:10pm Bruce S.: loving this set Funksmeister!
	12:10pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:08 Okay, I will try that out when I get up there on the 23rd.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:10 i thought it was a 10-incher??
	12:11pm John L: ↳ Figgsrock @12:06 I dont have Alexa, but if they have a Roku device on their TV you can listen that way. I live in the Hudson Valley, New Paltz, and can pick it up on terrestrial radio, but you lose it when you head any further north.
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:10 details, details
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:11 maybe that is the flip on efd's 45?
	12:13pm Figgsrock: ↳ John L @12:11 Oh, she does have a Roku, so I'll try that too. (She's about 25 minutes south of Albany, so no way to get the HV signal.)
	12:14pm clarke: 25 Minutes From Albany - good title
	12:15pm Yes: Kitchen dancing
	12:15pm paddy in matawan: Great tunes!
	12:15pm Dave: Ditto!
	12:16pm clarke: snake was here and left [smoke from burning-out tires smell]
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:14 "Schenectady/ It's just 25 minutes from Albany..."
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:16 here we are
	12:17pm clarke: peter, mike, bill - buy a book this season!
	12:17pm Avspuk: ↳ Song: "mony mony" by "celia & the mutations" I think this may be The Stranglers, that was the rumour at the time
	12:18pm efd: ↳ Avspuk @12:17 oh it is 100% The Stranglers!
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Song: "master james" by "the steppes" aussie con!
	12:18pm Figgsrock: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:16 I wish she lived that close when I was working radio in Albany back in the early 90s. I had an hour commute each way, which was really tough when I filled in on overnights.
	12:19pm John L: ↳ Figgsrock @12:13 Roku carries all the streams, and a weeks worth or archives, too.
	12:19pm Bruce S.: schenectady,I'm heading for Schenctady, I wish I could say I'm from Schenectady
	12:19pm Figgsrock: ↳ John L @12:19 Very good to know--thank you!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Bruce S. @12:19 what would one expect of me?
	12:21pm tim: Hello efd and fellow funkmeisters!
	12:21pm Bruce S.: ↳ clarke @12:19 I just like saying Schenectady
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:19 figgs, ever try the radio garden? https://radio.garden/visit/metairie-la/UtkIrd5C
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Figgsrock @12:18 It's cold and lonely in the deep dark night ...
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 this song is writing itself!
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:22 I know - it's coming along really well!
	12:23pm Avspuk: There are numerous places in the UK described as being "25 mins & 25 years south of [insert your city here]"
	12:23pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" Heya Evan and crew. Is this Klark Kent band the same one that was forced to change their name to Klerk Kant, under threat of lawsuit? Also, Stewart Copeland connection?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:23 i think it is ALL stewart
	12:24pm clarke: TEDDY!!
	12:24pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:22 Oh yeah, I remember that site.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 haven't done it in a while, but used to be fun
	12:24pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "the high party" by "ted leo & the pharmacists" Goin to Ted Aimee and Nellie McKay on Friday in Jers. Happy Birthday to ME!
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 my fave discovery was Gettysburg college station which is pretty good
	12:26pm efd: ↳ Jack McGuire @12:24 nice! Collingswood, right? (or should I say "rite"?)
	12:26pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @12:23 I don't remember the name change, but otherwise yes!
	12:26pm Beef Stroking Off: nice snare drum compression...
	12:26pm Avspuk: ↳ Song: "what we all want" by "gang of four" Somehow managing to sound both 'of its time' & yet 'not dated at all'
	12:27pm Jack McGuire: ↳ efd @12:26 Scottish Rite Auditoreum. My 3rd Aimee Mann Xmas show. Always great.
	12:27pm tim: ↳ Song: "the high party" by "ted leo & the pharmacists" Excellent record! I was a big Chisel fan and was really happy that his post Chisel music was so often. I converted a bunch of my friends (who didn't know Chisel) to Ted. "I know you like Elvis Costello, The Jam and Thin Lizzy, so you need to go with me to see Ted Leo tonight" - haha.
	12:27pm luka: B O N Z O
	12:27pm Mattynotimes: Ahhhh my fave Ramones song
	12:27pm clarke: so often..
	12:28pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "my brain is hanging upside down (bonzo goes to bi... Excellent!
	12:28pm Carmichael: ↳ efd @12:26 I quickly looked it up. Looks like the Japan releases were credited to Klerk Kant, for whatever reason.
	12:28pm tim: Rumor had it that Reagan hated working with the actor who played Bonzo. Another reason why Reagan was a world class a-hole.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:28 no one knows how to spell!
	12:29pm Listener Jonny in MA: ↳ Song: "my brain is hanging upside down (bonzo goes to bi... Hi EFD the BFD!!!! Got out of my meeting, and now I have Ramones blaring in my office. :)
	12:29pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "my brain is hanging upside down (bonzo goes to bi... I always imagine how much Johnny hated playing this song.
	12:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, efd and long-haired freaky people!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:29 that was true!
	12:30pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:23 I knew Al Stewart in '78 (through Alan Parsons), and I would have heard if that was the case.
	12:30pm Bruce S.: ↳ tim @12:28 Reagan resented that Bonzo was the star of the show with his name in the title
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 big Orange fan!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 i think i typed ALL stweart - if not, i meant to say that copeland played all instruments and all the sangin', too.
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:32 But by the time you picked up on your error, the bus and the tourists were gone.
	12:33pm tim: ↳ Bruce S. @12:30 What a dick! Everyone knows you can't compete with a Chimp. If I was Reagan's agent if would have been like "Look, Ron, I know you're an asshole but why do you think no one wanted this role except you. They know chimps have more star power, you numb nuts!
	12:33pm clarke: alan parsons just did an extensive interview with rick beato (youtube) just this past spring.
	12:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Bruce S. @12:30 Maybe that's why he didn't act in the sequel "Bonzo Goes to College".
	12:34pm Bruce S.: ↳ tim @12:33 hahaha so true so true
	12:35pm northguineahills: efd!
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:33 reagan is so GREAT in the fine film King's Row, that i forgive most of the rest of the crap.
	12:36pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:32 HA HA, I'm an idiot. You meant it was ALL Stewart Copeland, and my synapses didn't fire. D'oh!
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:36 i'm not positive he played everything, but i am pretty sure he did
	12:37pm Bruce S.: ↳ Carmichael @12:36 I love Al Stewart, Time passages and year of the cat are both great
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:35 I loved his collaboration with Bootsy Collins et al. on "Five Minutes."
	12:38pm Will thee SG OCNY: Good afternoon efd and all!!!
	12:38pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:33 Yep, I heard that. It goes deeper than your normal interview.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:36 hughie and i were recently marveling at the live version of Year Of The Cat - it really blows my mind.
	12:40pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "mony mony" by "celia & the mutations" this was definitly a super classic
	12:40pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" Fun rekkid!
	12:40pm florida: saw al stewart and ELO at specctrum in philly they went on really late ( delayed )
	12:41pm clarke: RIP andy!
	12:44pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:38 He did an acoustic tour with Peter White and a band friend of mine Dave Nachmanoff. It was eventually released as Rhymes in Rooms. Time Passages was played in a Celtic style, and Year of The Cat was similarly altered.
	12:44pm OceanBeachSF: Wish there was more Ramones/Paley Brothers material out there - it is a magical combination.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:44 i think i saw him with Alun Davies in new orleans - i mean, i know i saw stewart, i just think davies was the side man. the other other davies.
	12:46pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @12:44 There is also a video out there somewhere of Stewart and his band Shot in The Dark doing Year of The Cat on RockPalast. Pretty great.
	12:46pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:45 Alun Davies from Cat Stevens? That would be something.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:46 that's the one i oogle over - insanely great! goosebumps
	12:47pm McGroovey: There's an Andy Paley (or Paley Bros) song with the Flashcubes a couple years ago. I think it was on the last Flashcubes (or Halfcubes?) album.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:46 yeah i am pretty sure that was what he said
	12:47pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:46 That guitar player is pretty good, and he has championship hair!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:47 good day, sir!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:47 oh yeah, he was great!
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Song: "tell me tonight" by "the paley brothers" hard to find single!
	12:49pm efd: ↳ McGroovey @12:47 title?
	12:49pm efd: ↳ efd @12:49 I'm at the mercy of streaming, it's not showing me all the collaborators
	12:53pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @12:49 I didn't recall.
	12:54pm clarke: we need TOTAL RECALL!
	12:54pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:47 Bonjour, monsieur.

	12:55pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @12:49 bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com...
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Song: "RIP Shel Talmy" another guy who just did an interview and then was gone (interviewed by might manfred on underground garage, in september)
	12:58pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "mr. joe (witness for the defence)" by "rumplestil... YES I am totally in the mood for Shel Talmy!
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:58 -mightY
	1:00pm efd: ↳ Bruce S. @12:58 I'm afraid this is the only Talmy song I'm playing today
	1:01pm clarke: both of those guys sounded so happening and vital in their interviews and looking forward to future works. sad.
	1:01pm clarke: ↳ efd @1:00 but with the reprise - it is almost like TWO!
	1:02pm Bruce S.: ↳ efd @1:00 it was a good one,all the Tributes have really clarified the Shel Talmy sound
	1:02pm efd: ↳ clarke @1:01 true, this is a six and a half minute song!
	1:02pm clarke: ↳ efd @1:02 mister joe took his time!
	1:03pm efd: ↳ Song: "mr. joe (witness for the defence)" by "rumplestil... this is also a good lead-in to the Freaky Wilderness session
	1:03pm mariano: ↳ Song: "mr. joe (witness for the defence)" by "rumplestil... Singer sounds a bit like Ian Gillan.
	1:03pm clarke: ↳ mariano @1:03 this is very true, and hello!
	1:04pm Bruce S.: ↳ Bruce S. @1:02 I guess I didn't realize it was still going on
	1:04pm clarke: case closed!
	1:05pm mariano: ↳ clarke @1:03 Hey, man!
	1:05pm clarke: ↳ mariano @1:05 what the latest witchas??
	1:06pm Enflod: Was there any crossover between Paley and Alex Chilton during the latter's late-70s NYC period?
	1:06pm clarke: ↳ Enflod @1:06 no
	1:07pm clarke: ↳ Enflod @1:06 you may be thinking of Jon Tiven?
	1:07pm clarke: ↳ Enflod @1:06 or chris stamey?
	1:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @1:05 SUBDIVISIONS
	1:08pm clarke: sub div isions
	1:12pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "spirit spouse" by "freaky wilderness" this is really cool
	1:15pm tim: ↳ Song: "spirit spouse" by "freaky wilderness" Sounding great! I'm enjoying the Sleep style rhythm section.
	1:17pm efd: I really appreciate them opening with a long song so that I could fill in all of the info about the album and their shows before the second song started.
	1:17pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:08 SUBDIVISIONS
	1:17pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "spirit spouse" by "freaky wilderness" I'm playin' my air guitar here!
	1:17pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "spirit spouse" by "freaky wilderness" Listening to this, I flashed on the time I saw Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush at the Felt Forum. In a good way.
	1:20pm rsj: when did daimondsnake play live on the EFD show?
	1:20pm Savage in Brooklyn: I dig this. Giving me some Bevis Frond vibes.
	1:20pm rsj: similar swagger
	1:21pm efd: ↳ rsj @1:20 funny, I was thinking of them too! I think 2010? Maybe 2008?
	1:21pm Carmichael: One morning many decades ago, I was awakened at 5:00 AM by some very loud Zeppelin, emanating from the rental home across the street. When I looked out the window, the 2 cab drivers renting the place were standing on top of their cab, earnestly playing air guitar. Spirit Spouse reminded me of that ...
	1:21pm McGroovey: The whole Flashcubes album.... bigstirrecords.com...
	1:22pm clarke: Mahogany Rush = good call
	1:22pm efd: ↳ rsj @1:20 2010 is the answer. wfmu.org...
	1:23pm efd: ↳ McGroovey @1:21 thanks, I probably have that but forgot Andy Paley was on it.
	1:23pm Otto's neighbor Dave: ↳ Song: "see you on the other side" by "freaky wilderness" Just tuned in. Good stuff! (also, hello everybody)
	1:24pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @1:21 That's amazing! I love stories like that.
	1:25pm Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Great show, efd. i wasn't familiar with the Paley Brothers. thank you.

	1:25pm clarke: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @1:25 all their records are worth seeking out!!
	1:27pm Zephyr: I dub this band “Grey Sabbath”
	1:27pm Carmichael: ↳ Bruce S. @1:25 Definitely a Kodak moment.
	1:28pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @1:23 I forgot I had it (acc. to Discogs): One of the many things I have to listen to more.
	1:30pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @1:27 better than a kodiak moment!
	1:30pm Bruce S.: they are what used to be called a power trio, a very good one
	1:31pm McGroovey: Oh. And I'm still playing air guitar, by the way.
	1:32pm efd: ↳ McGroovey @1:31 I'd be surprised if you weren't!
	1:32pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @1:31 wow you can type and air at the same time!

	2:06pm clarke: i am pretty sure it was a JD cover

	2:08pm clarke: however, Isolation was a carry-over song from Warsaw... so..

	2:23pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:18 yeah, not that long ago either -- maybe 15 or 20 years? The citizens felt besmirched by having the name "Paterson" in the name of the town.

	12:00pm clarke: dynOmite!!! my cup runneth over!!
	12:01pm clarke: i always thought this was War, ha ha
	12:01pm Figgsrock: EFD, this song is appropriate for my apartment as I have all 5 windows open and two fans going in an attempt to cool things off
	12:02pm Bjorn Be: Hi efd! Hi all.
	12:02pm Triple G: ::shimmies way in:: Hey all, hey Evan (I was volunteering last week, nice meeting/chatting with you)
	12:02pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:01 !!
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:01 ha ha ha wtf??
	12:03pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:01 gotta love NYC apartments in the winter time!
	12:03pm clarke: isn't it like 20 degrees up thar?
	12:04pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:02 It's been normal temps the last two winters, so I guess this year my landlord (or probably his wife) has decided to really crank up the boiler early and often. And since I have no control over ye olde radiators, here we are.
	12:04pm Bruce S.: hey efd all
	12:05pm clarke: here we are what will be your look this season?
	12:06pm Bob Tankenstein: WUDDUP EFD! DIGGING THE TUNES SO FAR
	12:06pm dave wuz here: i lived above the boiler room in an old apt building outside harvard sqr , dead of winter 3 windows open , shorts and t shirts , it was GREAT
	12:06pm Figgsrock: A question for the board -- what's the easiest way to get the WFMU stream on an Alexa device? I'll be upstate at my aunt's on Christmas Day and I would love to share the Holiday Music Funktacular with her as she loves all types of Xmas music.
	12:07pm clarke: stewie!
	12:08pm common: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" stewart!
	12:08pm efd: ↳ Figgsrock @12:06 I think you can say "play WFMU on Tune In" but I haven't tried it myself in a while...
	12:08pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" "If you don't like my arrogance you can suck my socks!"
	12:09pm efd: ↳ Triple G @12:02 Likewise! Thank you for volunteering!
	12:09pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:08 i dont care for it!
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Song: "wrought iron man" by "steeplechase" hello Snake! !
	12:10pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:09 Fine single but if pressed I would say "Too Kool for Kalypso" gets the gold medal.
	12:10pm Bruce S.: loving this set Funksmeister!
	12:10pm Figgsrock: ↳ efd @12:08 Okay, I will try that out when I get up there on the 23rd.
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:10 i thought it was a 10-incher??
	12:11pm John L: ↳ Figgsrock @12:06 I dont have Alexa, but if they have a Roku device on their TV you can listen that way. I live in the Hudson Valley, New Paltz, and can pick it up on terrestrial radio, but you lose it when you head any further north.
	12:11pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:10 details, details
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:11 maybe that is the flip on efd's 45?
	12:13pm Figgsrock: ↳ John L @12:11 Oh, she does have a Roku, so I'll try that too. (She's about 25 minutes south of Albany, so no way to get the HV signal.)
	12:14pm clarke: 25 Minutes From Albany - good title
	12:15pm Yes: Kitchen dancing
	12:15pm paddy in matawan: Great tunes!
	12:15pm Dave: Ditto!
	12:16pm clarke: snake was here and left [smoke from burning-out tires smell]
	12:16pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:14 "Schenectady/ It's just 25 minutes from Albany..."
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:16 here we are
	12:17pm clarke: peter, mike, bill - buy a book this season!
	12:17pm Avspuk: ↳ Song: "mony mony" by "celia & the mutations" I think this may be The Stranglers, that was the rumour at the time
	12:18pm efd: ↳ Avspuk @12:17 oh it is 100% The Stranglers!
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Song: "master james" by "the steppes" aussie con!
	12:18pm Figgsrock: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:16 I wish she lived that close when I was working radio in Albany back in the early 90s. I had an hour commute each way, which was really tough when I filled in on overnights.
	12:19pm John L: ↳ Figgsrock @12:13 Roku carries all the streams, and a weeks worth or archives, too.
	12:19pm Bruce S.: schenectady,I'm heading for Schenctady, I wish I could say I'm from Schenectady
	12:19pm Figgsrock: ↳ John L @12:19 Very good to know--thank you!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ Bruce S. @12:19 what would one expect of me?
	12:21pm tim: Hello efd and fellow funkmeisters!
	12:21pm Bruce S.: ↳ clarke @12:19 I just like saying Schenectady
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:19 figgs, ever try the radio garden? https://radio.garden/visit/metairie-la/UtkIrd5C
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Figgsrock @12:18 It's cold and lonely in the deep dark night ...
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:22 this song is writing itself!
	12:22pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:22 I know - it's coming along really well!
	12:23pm Avspuk: There are numerous places in the UK described as being "25 mins & 25 years south of [insert your city here]"
	12:23pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" Heya Evan and crew. Is this Klark Kent band the same one that was forced to change their name to Klerk Kant, under threat of lawsuit? Also, Stewart Copeland connection?
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:23 i think it is ALL stewart
	12:24pm clarke: TEDDY!!
	12:24pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @12:22 Oh yeah, I remember that site.
	12:24pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 haven't done it in a while, but used to be fun
	12:24pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "the high party" by "ted leo & the pharmacists" Goin to Ted Aimee and Nellie McKay on Friday in Jers. Happy Birthday to ME!
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:24 my fave discovery was Gettysburg college station which is pretty good
	12:26pm efd: ↳ Jack McGuire @12:24 nice! Collingswood, right? (or should I say "rite"?)
	12:26pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @12:23 I don't remember the name change, but otherwise yes!
	12:26pm Beef Stroking Off: nice snare drum compression...
	12:26pm Avspuk: ↳ Song: "what we all want" by "gang of four" Somehow managing to sound both 'of its time' & yet 'not dated at all'
	12:27pm Jack McGuire: ↳ efd @12:26 Scottish Rite Auditoreum. My 3rd Aimee Mann Xmas show. Always great.
	12:27pm tim: ↳ Song: "the high party" by "ted leo & the pharmacists" Excellent record! I was a big Chisel fan and was really happy that his post Chisel music was so often. I converted a bunch of my friends (who didn't know Chisel) to Ted. "I know you like Elvis Costello, The Jam and Thin Lizzy, so you need to go with me to see Ted Leo tonight" - haha.
	12:27pm luka: B O N Z O
	12:27pm Mattynotimes: Ahhhh my fave Ramones song
	12:27pm clarke: so often..
	12:28pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "my brain is hanging upside down (bonzo goes to bi... Excellent!
	12:28pm Carmichael: ↳ efd @12:26 I quickly looked it up. Looks like the Japan releases were credited to Klerk Kant, for whatever reason.
	12:28pm tim: Rumor had it that Reagan hated working with the actor who played Bonzo. Another reason why Reagan was a world class a-hole.
	12:29pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:28 no one knows how to spell!
	12:29pm Listener Jonny in MA: ↳ Song: "my brain is hanging upside down (bonzo goes to bi... Hi EFD the BFD!!!! Got out of my meeting, and now I have Ramones blaring in my office. :)
	12:29pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "my brain is hanging upside down (bonzo goes to bi... I always imagine how much Johnny hated playing this song.
	12:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, efd and long-haired freaky people!
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @12:29 that was true!
	12:30pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:23 I knew Al Stewart in '78 (through Alan Parsons), and I would have heard if that was the case.
	12:30pm Bruce S.: ↳ tim @12:28 Reagan resented that Bonzo was the star of the show with his name in the title
	12:31pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 big Orange fan!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:30 i think i typed ALL stweart - if not, i meant to say that copeland played all instruments and all the sangin', too.
	12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:32 But by the time you picked up on your error, the bus and the tourists were gone.
	12:33pm tim: ↳ Bruce S. @12:30 What a dick! Everyone knows you can't compete with a Chimp. If I was Reagan's agent if would have been like "Look, Ron, I know you're an asshole but why do you think no one wanted this role except you. They know chimps have more star power, you numb nuts!
	12:33pm clarke: alan parsons just did an extensive interview with rick beato (youtube) just this past spring.
	12:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Bruce S. @12:30 Maybe that's why he didn't act in the sequel "Bonzo Goes to College".
	12:34pm Bruce S.: ↳ tim @12:33 hahaha so true so true
	12:35pm northguineahills: efd!
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ tim @12:33 reagan is so GREAT in the fine film King's Row, that i forgive most of the rest of the crap.
	12:36pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:32 HA HA, I'm an idiot. You meant it was ALL Stewart Copeland, and my synapses didn't fire. D'oh!
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:36 i'm not positive he played everything, but i am pretty sure he did
	12:37pm Bruce S.: ↳ Carmichael @12:36 I love Al Stewart, Time passages and year of the cat are both great
	12:38pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:35 I loved his collaboration with Bootsy Collins et al. on "Five Minutes."
	12:38pm Will thee SG OCNY: Good afternoon efd and all!!!
	12:38pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:33 Yep, I heard that. It goes deeper than your normal interview.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:36 hughie and i were recently marveling at the live version of Year Of The Cat - it really blows my mind.
	12:40pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "mony mony" by "celia & the mutations" this was definitly a super classic
	12:40pm listener 126464: ↳ Song: "don't care" by "klark kent" Fun rekkid!
	12:40pm florida: saw al stewart and ELO at specctrum in philly they went on really late ( delayed )
	12:41pm clarke: RIP andy!
	12:44pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:38 He did an acoustic tour with Peter White and a band friend of mine Dave Nachmanoff. It was eventually released as Rhymes in Rooms. Time Passages was played in a Celtic style, and Year of The Cat was similarly altered.
	12:44pm OceanBeachSF: Wish there was more Ramones/Paley Brothers material out there - it is a magical combination.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:44 i think i saw him with Alun Davies in new orleans - i mean, i know i saw stewart, i just think davies was the side man. the other other davies.
	12:46pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @12:44 There is also a video out there somewhere of Stewart and his band Shot in The Dark doing Year of The Cat on RockPalast. Pretty great.
	12:46pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:45 Alun Davies from Cat Stevens? That would be something.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:46 that's the one i oogle over - insanely great! goosebumps
	12:47pm McGroovey: There's an Andy Paley (or Paley Bros) song with the Flashcubes a couple years ago. I think it was on the last Flashcubes (or Halfcubes?) album.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:46 yeah i am pretty sure that was what he said
	12:47pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:46 That guitar player is pretty good, and he has championship hair!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:47 good day, sir!
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:47 oh yeah, he was great!
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ Song: "tell me tonight" by "the paley brothers" hard to find single!
	12:49pm efd: ↳ McGroovey @12:47 title?
	12:49pm efd: ↳ efd @12:49 I'm at the mercy of streaming, it's not showing me all the collaborators
	12:53pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @12:49 I didn't recall.
	12:54pm clarke: we need TOTAL RECALL!
	12:54pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:47 Bonjour, monsieur.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:54 'alloo!
	12:55pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @12:49 bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com...
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ Song: "RIP Shel Talmy" another guy who just did an interview and then was gone (interviewed by might manfred on underground garage, in september)
	12:58pm Bruce S.: ↳ Song: "mr. joe (witness for the defence)" by "rumplestil... YES I am totally in the mood for Shel Talmy!
	12:58pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:58 -mightY
	1:00pm efd: ↳ Bruce S. @12:58 I'm afraid this is the only Talmy song I'm playing today
	1:01pm clarke: both of those guys sounded so happening and vital in their interviews and looking forward to future works. sad.
	1:01pm clarke: ↳ efd @1:00 but with the reprise - it is almost like TWO!
	1:02pm Bruce S.: ↳ efd @1:00 it was a good one,all the Tributes have really clarified the Shel Talmy sound
	1:02pm efd: ↳ clarke @1:01 true, this is a six and a half minute song!
	1:02pm clarke: ↳ efd @1:02 mister joe took his time!
	1:03pm efd: ↳ Song: "mr. joe (witness for the defence)" by "rumplestil... this is also a good lead-in to the Freaky Wilderness session
