	9:20pm Stevel: In the lake, burned my last smoke, flask of Old Forrester, efd; my near-home staycation could be worse.

	9:21pm coelacanth∅: (under water?)
	9:21pm Pauly from Clifton: Good evening, EFD, Funkesters! Groovin!
	9:21pm Uncle Michael: The older I get, the easier that goal gets. Pretty soon this show will start before my bedtime.
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: In honor of tonight's show, I am taking tomorrow off and telling my bedtime where to stick it.
	9:23pm efd: hey, if I'm staying up past my bedtime then everyone else should be too!
	9:23pm ami ad: I've been passed out before this show time in the past,sleep is for the weak...
	9:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Have you considered legally changing your name to "Funk-Davies"? I believe that would qualify you for a discounted membership to the yacht club
	9:23pm Stevel: Fish: not yet. See earlier link. Indiana doesn’t entirely suck. Sorry about Pence
	9:23pm efd: good going, Handy!
	9:24pm coelacanth∅: i've been getting around 2.5 hours' sleep for a little while now. tonight i'm drinking mice elf to a good night's sleep. ...maybe... now i want a cigarette
	9:24pm Handy Haversack: And a stately home in Shropshire, Phillippe!
	9:24pm ultradamno: Lifelong night owl, my goal is to normalize sundowning by the time dementia sets in...or, you know, intensifies.
	9:24pm efd: @Phillippe when I looked into it I was told I'd also have to change my first name to Edwin. No sale.
	9:24pm ultradamno: @Steve I can't forgive us for Pence, hard to ask them to.
	9:25pm Phillippe Bastille: How about changing your first name to "Sir"?
	9:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Peak blueberry season flew right in New Paltz this year. I must get up to Minnewaska State Park soon
	9:26pm Handy Haversack: Kate just called out from the kitchen, "Wait, is tonight the dance party?" She stresses that she's digging it!
	9:26pm PaulRobeson1920: Flew right by*
	9:26pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy with a pony and hedges shaped like ducks
	9:26pm ami ad: Going camping upstate Sunday,somewhere close to woodstock.
	9:27pm Stevel: UD: You’re out here too? Don’t forget Quayle. We owe a lot of Americans (thanks for taking them off our hands!)
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: Stevel i've driven through indiana a few times, via rt.70 (?) it didn't look so good! but i don't believe anywhere ENTIRELY sucks. hell, you're from there (i guess) and Uncle Michael's from kansas. there's enough proof.
	9:27pm efd: dance party is ONE WEEK from tonight! But thanks to our interview guest there's definitely a dance vibe on tonight's show as well, at least for the first half-ish.
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: Nice, ami! We are heading up to north of the Catskills Friday -- Hobart, NY.
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: ....(and Kurt Vonnegut was from indiana; so all is forgiven)
	9:28pm Julie M: @ami, check out Mine Hollow leanto, in the vicinity of Margaretville, near Woodstock. Nice little trail, lots of places to pitch a tent, if you can't get the leanto.
	9:28pm ultradamno: And Dan Burton, the watermelon assassin
	9:28pm efd: just got back from a few days in Lake George myself (not camping)
	9:28pm Stevel: Fish: UM is my flatland photojournalist brother! The I-70 stretch is brutal
	9:29pm Julie M: Catskills is nice, but Adirondacks is BIG. Big spirits at night.
	9:29pm Handy Haversack: @efd, disco-sleeping on water skis?
	9:29pm ami ad: @Handy:Sweet,yeah,a bud booked a camp site up there,2 nights,not sure of the details. I need to see a campfire badly.
	9:29pm ultradamno: Yeah, we had KV twitter.com...
	9:29pm swivs: coelacanthø: thought he was from Tralfamadore
	9:30pm Handy Haversack: Heard, ami. 100 percent.
	9:30pm PaulRobeson1920: There is a 300+ year old university in Hobart, NY
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: @9.24 'Win Funk Davies
	9:31pm PaulRobeson1920: 200 + year old... o boy its past my bedtime
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: You overstate my bona fides, Steve.
	9:32pm ami ad: @Juli M:Cheers,will bring it up as an option,thanks,not going alone. Appreciate. Thought about going to Storm king national park.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: swivs haha oh yeah i forgot!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: first time i drove west on rt 70 was in august... september? and when i happened upon kansas i happened upon mile after mile of beautiful in bloom sunflowers as far as i could see. it hasn't been that way every time but that impressed me for Life.
	9:36pm spodiodi: i want some place to go. i guess i could go look at some fire
	9:36pm ami ad: Any dog friendly trails up there?
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: @ami, the trails near Kaaterskill Falls are all off-leash OK. I think it's the state park?
	9:37pm Julie M: @ami, Storm King is great, should check it out. Just a place to vist, not to camp. Lots of open space and sculptures. Most trails are dog-friendly up there, as far as I know.
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: All the others I have been on up there are dog-ok-on-leash.
	9:39pm ami ad: Drove an empty truck from Chicago many years ago,felt like the wind in Indiana on Route 80 was about to flip us over. many times.
	9:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Storm king is worth it and Blueberry run in Minnewaska. <3
	9:40pm Ike: Oh it's John Rocca. Whew. When the other DJs announced this upcoming, I sorta thought they were saying John Rocker. That would be terrible.
	9:41pm Kat in Chicago: ready to Rocc
	9:41pm efd: That individual is not welcome on this program.
	9:42pm Ike: LOL, thought so
	9:42pm Uncle Michael: I have no familiarity with Freeez at all.
	9:43pm efd: you know how to spell it though!
	9:43pm Uncle Michael: It's on the playlist!
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: i'm familiar with "the other" freeze
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: Where would a girl Michael would have been singing about at that age have gone, to summer camp?
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: Michael Jackson turned fourteen in 1972.
	9:48pm Colleen: This is all sooo good!!
	9:49pm Stevel: UM: Somewhere in Michigan, possibly northern Wisconsin. I was prepared to mock this cover. Is nothing young MJ couldn’t do?
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Stevel, that was ridiculously good.
	9:50pm Stevel: Off the lake, back in the house with the dogs. They love me, and my feeding of them.
	9:50pm Julie M: And what lake is this, Stevel?
	9:51pm Stevel: Sylvan Lake. Rome City, Indiana.
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: my first girlfriend went away to the jersey shore for the whole summer. ...i's drinking black coffee and smoking cigarettes all night, hangin' in the pool hall...
	9:52pm Julie M: I grew up with lakes. The ocean is mighty, but damn, I love a lake.
	9:54pm Handy Haversack: Where did you grow up, Julie M? I canoe mostly on NYC ocean currents, and whenever I get to be around lakes I'm always very, very happy.
	9:54pm ultradamno: Oh, up there near Fort Wayne. I'm down the side near Muncie
	9:55pm ultradamno: I remember having a Jackson 5 board game.
	9:56pm Stevel: UD: Yup. Lived in FW since 88. Video version of lake evening. Pretend it was you! www.instagram.com...
	9:56pm Julie M: I grew up in Vermont, Handy. But I've been living just a couple miles from the ocean for many years now...
	9:57pm Stevel: Large bodies of water are special. I can sit and stare for hours. Being out on it is even better.
	9:58pm Handy Haversack: Word, Stevel. Word.
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: i thought when i moved farther from the ocean i'd miss it but no i have lakes and streams and pools within streams (the best) i do miss the broken glass and syringes and tampons and condoms and 6-pack holders and band-aids and broken flip-flops and bra underwires though.
	10:00pm Stevel: Fish: Very nostalgic. Streams are very cool. Recently kayaking, (not often, for no good reason) and its a lot of fun. Very accessible.
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: Stevel yes, special times (...actually they were)
	10:03pm Alex of Chicago: I bet it was fun to be a Soul Boy.
	10:04pm efd: I'm sure, Alex!
	10:06pm mr_mike: oooh, have to turn up the BT speaker for JB
	10:14pm Handy Haversack: A thousand copies!
	10:15pm efd: the confidence of youth!
	10:18pm mr_mike: freeez? as in AEIOU?
	10:18pm efd: I just love "Southern Freeez" to pieces.
	10:19pm efd: @mr_mike Correct! Just "IOU," to be exact. :)
	10:19pm Handy Haversack: Who's on lead vocals, eeefd?
	10:19pm Julie M: Very enjoyable so far. You may hit your goal with me this eve, efd.
	10:19pm Sam Pocker: great interview so far, I always love selling records out of the trunk of a car type of stories
	10:20pm efd: Handy, I am still kicking myself for not asking him more about her- Ingrid Mansfield Allman is the singer's name. He talks about how she came in at the last minute in the next segment and I really should have mentioned her name and talked about her more, her voice is just fantastic and really suits the song.
	10:21pm efd: thanks Sam!
	10:22pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, what a voice! We are big fans already! But the interview is excellent, efd. I understand regrets (boy, do I!). But it's really interesting stuff.
	10:24pm efd: that was the one Zoom dropout just then. Thankful that it was just that once.
	10:24pm efd: @Handy he kind of had a flow going that I didn't want to interrupt, but at the same time she deserves to be acknowledged.
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, heard and agreed, efd.
	10:37pm mr_mike: well I guess I'll be hearing IOU for the 5,000th time, but I'll appreciate it more this time. This song is woven into my existence and I never knew one GD thing about it. Thank you for playing other Freeez works.
	10:42pm efd: glad to provide some additional context, @mr_mike!
	10:44pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Smoke is the name of the game today.
	10:45pm efd: I saw, Carmichael! Hope it doesn't get any worse than that for you (not to downplay dealing with smoke, of course).
	10:47pm mr_mike: Uh oh. Turning up the BT speaker
	10:48pm efd: this is John himself on lead vocals here, for those following along
	10:48pm PJ: Just tuning in - isn’t this an Ebn-Ozn song? Or did they cover the Freeze version?
	10:50pm efd: Ebn-Ozn had a DIFFERENT song, called "AEIOU Sometimes Y"
	10:50pm Carmichael: Late to the interview, but this is awesome!
	10:51pm PJ: @EFD: Synth-pop confuuusion
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: This one's more about owing something unto A. E. Housman, I'm pretty sure.
	10:53pm mr_mike: I have lost and regained, repurchased this 12" more than any other
	10:53pm PJ: @Handy: if Martin Newell hasn’t written that version of “A.E., IOU”, he’d better get to it
	10:55pm Handy Haversack: Ha, PJ, yeah! Great interview, efd! I knew nothing, but I learned a ton. Super well done.
	10:56pm efd: thanks Handy!
	10:58pm Jeffrey Davison: Great interview...thanks!
	10:58pm PJ: Pulling out my drum machine to get started on “EFD, IOU”
	10:59pm efd: DO IT, PJ!!
	10:59pm efd: Hi Jeffrey, thanks very much!
	10:59pm Handy Haversack: You have one week until the dance party, PJ!
	11:01pm Handy Haversack: (Though I think grammatically it might be"IOU EFD [XXX].") (To be capitalized as one's heart dictates.)
	11:02pm mr_mike: Right "real JD"? That interview was so smooth. Like they knew each other for years.
	11:03pm PJ: @EFD, Handy: Ha!
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Daniel Blumin and Skeleton Scott: huzzah!
	11:15pm Julie M: Husker Du! But... No umlaut?
	11:16pm ultradamno: Do you remember the umlaut?
	11:17pm ultradamno: img1.etsystatic.com...
	11:17pm marx gibson: great great show
	11:17pm efd: @Julie the band doesn't use the umlaut, so I'm not using it either! Maybe the umlaut doesn't exist in Norwegian?
	11:18pm efd: thank you marx!
	11:18pm Julie M: It was a knee-jerk reaction, efd. I saw the name and thought of the band, not the album name...
	11:19pm Stevel: Did any of you have the game, Husker Du (I remember (?)) (add yer own umlauts)
	11:20pm efd: oh I get it Julie, I was looking for it myself!
	11:20pm Stevel: I never saw it https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-In-Sealed-Box-HUSKER-DU-Match-The-Pictures-MEMORY-Matching-Board-Game/193293726501?hash=item2d01343325:g:zQkAAOSw0TheF5js
	11:21pm Chop Scott: @Steve: I remember.
	11:23pm ultradamno: I did too...
	11:24pm ultradamno: It uses the umlaut line rather than dots too.
	11:24pm Julie M: Just a little proofreader trivia: The symbol in the name of the game is called a macron, not umlaut
	11:25pm ultradamno: That is good to know, thank you.
	11:26pm ultradamno: Had to get through some Emmanuel Macron returns to get results on that.
	11:30pm Julie M: Oh, darn it, look at that. Well, Evan, like Satan claiming another soul, you can chalk up another lost bedtime. And though we don’t really catch up on lost sleep, no, we don’t ever get that back, we do get the music. And that we can keep.
	11:31pm Stevel: Definitely need to see the Creem doc. Danny Says and Muscle Shoals are both not to be missed
	11:34pm Stevel: efd: Satan on a Wednesday.
	11:36pm efd: @Julie Sweet dreams! [evil laugh]
	11:37pm Julie M: Yeah, when I was younger, I could stay up! Good night, efd and all.
	11:40pm ultradamno: Got that Buried Alive 2 box with The Chicks' Rebel Kind on it, great stuff...The former Dixie Chicks need to be shamed off using that name
	11:49pm ultradamno: Flipper (82) before PiL (86)...
	11:50pm BH: well, the Dixie Chicks name change is going better than the Lady Antebellum name change
	11:52pm ultradamno: Yeah, they fudged that all up.
	11:53pm BH: there's a singer nicknamed Lady A who I believe is currently suing the former Lady Antebellum
	11:53pm Joe: Lady A piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/18/original-lady-speaks-out-how-be-better-ally/
	11:53pm ultradamno: Yeah, because to demonstrate their sensitivity over the name Antebellum, they demanded a black woman change her name. That's some tone deaf right there.
	12:00am ultradamno: In fairness to Flipper and PiL, Abba didn't go all out with generic graphics for "The Album"...which puts Eater and Fear in the running for earliest ripoff...
	12:01am Handy Haversack: Thanks, efd!

Upcoming events:

Wed. Dec 4th, Noon - 3pm: Freaky Wilderness (More info...)
Brooklyn’s Freaky Wilderness includes members of Space Merchants, whose 2018 album landed in EFD’s top 10 of that year.

They’ll preview the album in this live set ahead of the album release show on Thursday Dec. 12 at Main Drag in Brooklyn.
Wed. Dec 11th, Noon - 3pm: Manager (More info...)
Manager is a three-piece band that’s based right here in Jersey City. They recently released a new EP, HOT-LINE (Texacobra), which showcases their hard-edged percolating indie sound that may remind the listener of Echo & The Bunnymen or Yo La Tengo.

	9:15pm spodiodi: hi EFD and everyone!
	9:15pm efd: hahahaha, that was an inadvertent airhorn trigger but it kind of worked!
	9:15pm Aitch: That first B52's a fave, one of the first I ever bought.
	9:15pm spodiodi: air.horn.heaven
	9:16pm ami ad: Rewind

	9:19pm UFOspecialist: What time does the Warwick go to bed?
	9:20pm Uncle Michael: I love these opening theme sets!
	9:20pm Phillippe Bastille: soundin' pretty good, EFD.
	9:20pm Stevel: In the lake, burned my last smoke, flask of Old Forrester, efd; my near-home staycation could be worse.
	9:21pm efd: my regular weekly goal is to make people stay up past their bedtimes.
	9:21pm coelacanth∅: (under water?)
	9:21pm Pauly from Clifton: Good evening, EFD, Funkesters! Groovin!
	9:21pm Uncle Michael: The older I get, the easier that goal gets. Pretty soon this show will start before my bedtime.
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: In honor of tonight's show, I am taking tomorrow off and telling my bedtime where to stick it.
	9:23pm efd: hey, if I'm staying up past my bedtime then everyone else should be too!
	9:23pm ami ad: I've been passed out before this show time in the past,sleep is for the weak...
	9:23pm Phillippe Bastille: Have you considered legally changing your name to "Funk-Davies"? I believe that would qualify you for a discounted membership to the yacht club
	9:23pm Stevel: Fish: not yet. See earlier link. Indiana doesn’t entirely suck. Sorry about Pence
	9:23pm efd: good going, Handy!
	9:24pm coelacanth∅: i've been getting around 2.5 hours' sleep for a little while now. tonight i'm drinking mice elf to a good night's sleep. ...maybe... now i want a cigarette
	9:24pm Handy Haversack: And a stately home in Shropshire, Phillippe!
	9:24pm ultradamno: Lifelong night owl, my goal is to normalize sundowning by the time dementia sets in...or, you know, intensifies.
	9:24pm efd: @Phillippe when I looked into it I was told I'd also have to change my first name to Edwin. No sale.
	9:24pm ultradamno: @Steve I can't forgive us for Pence, hard to ask them to.
	9:25pm Phillippe Bastille: How about changing your first name to "Sir"?
	9:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Peak blueberry season flew right in New Paltz this year. I must get up to Minnewaska State Park soon
	9:26pm Handy Haversack: Kate just called out from the kitchen, "Wait, is tonight the dance party?" She stresses that she's digging it!
	9:26pm PaulRobeson1920: Flew right by*
	9:26pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy with a pony and hedges shaped like ducks
	9:26pm ami ad: Going camping upstate Sunday,somewhere close to woodstock.
	9:27pm Stevel: UD: You’re out here too? Don’t forget Quayle. We owe a lot of Americans (thanks for taking them off our hands!)
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: Stevel i've driven through indiana a few times, via rt.70 (?) it didn't look so good! but i don't believe anywhere ENTIRELY sucks. hell, you're from there (i guess) and Uncle Michael's from kansas. there's enough proof.
	9:27pm efd: dance party is ONE WEEK from tonight! But thanks to our interview guest there's definitely a dance vibe on tonight's show as well, at least for the first half-ish.
	9:27pm Handy Haversack: Nice, ami! We are heading up to north of the Catskills Friday -- Hobart, NY.
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: ....(and Kurt Vonnegut was from indiana; so all is forgiven)
	9:28pm Julie M: @ami, check out Mine Hollow leanto, in the vicinity of Margaretville, near Woodstock. Nice little trail, lots of places to pitch a tent, if you can't get the leanto.
	9:28pm ultradamno: And Dan Burton, the watermelon assassin
	9:28pm efd: just got back from a few days in Lake George myself (not camping)
	9:28pm Stevel: Fish: UM is my flatland photojournalist brother! The I-70 stretch is brutal
	9:29pm Julie M: Catskills is nice, but Adirondacks is BIG. Big spirits at night.
	9:29pm Handy Haversack: @efd, disco-sleeping on water skis?
	9:29pm ami ad: @Handy:Sweet,yeah,a bud booked a camp site up there,2 nights,not sure of the details. I need to see a campfire badly.
	9:29pm ultradamno: Yeah, we had KV twitter.com...
	9:29pm swivs: coelacanthø: thought he was from Tralfamadore
	9:30pm Handy Haversack: Heard, ami. 100 percent.
	9:30pm PaulRobeson1920: There is a 300+ year old university in Hobart, NY
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: @9.24 'Win Funk Davies
	9:31pm PaulRobeson1920: 200 + year old... o boy its past my bedtime
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: You overstate my bona fides, Steve.
	9:32pm ami ad: @Juli M:Cheers,will bring it up as an option,thanks,not going alone. Appreciate. Thought about going to Storm king national park.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: swivs haha oh yeah i forgot!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: first time i drove west on rt 70 was in august... september? and when i happened upon kansas i happened upon mile after mile of beautiful in bloom sunflowers as far as i could see. it hasn't been that way every time but that impressed me for Life.
	9:36pm spodiodi: i want some place to go. i guess i could go look at some fire
	9:36pm ami ad: Any dog friendly trails up there?
	9:37pm Handy Haversack: @ami, the trails near Kaaterskill Falls are all off-leash OK. I think it's the state park?
	9:37pm Julie M: @ami, Storm King is great, should check it out. Just a place to vist, not to camp. Lots of open space and sculptures. Most trails are dog-friendly up there, as far as I know.
	9:38pm Handy Haversack: All the others I have been on up there are dog-ok-on-leash.
	9:39pm ami ad: Drove an empty truck from Chicago many years ago,felt like the wind in Indiana on Route 80 was about to flip us over. many times.
	9:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Storm king is worth it and Blueberry run in Minnewaska. <3
	9:40pm Ike: Oh it's John Rocca. Whew. When the other DJs announced this upcoming, I sorta thought they were saying John Rocker. That would be terrible.
	9:41pm Kat in Chicago: ready to Rocc
	9:41pm efd: That individual is not welcome on this program.
	9:42pm Ike: LOL, thought so
	9:42pm Uncle Michael: I have no familiarity with Freeez at all.
	9:43pm efd: you know how to spell it though!
	9:43pm Uncle Michael: It's on the playlist!
	9:45pm coelacanth∅: i'm familiar with "the other" freeze
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: Where would a girl Michael would have been singing about at that age have gone, to summer camp?
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: Michael Jackson turned fourteen in 1972.
	9:48pm Colleen: This is all sooo good!!
	9:49pm Stevel: UM: Somewhere in Michigan, possibly northern Wisconsin. I was prepared to mock this cover. Is nothing young MJ couldn’t do?
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Stevel, that was ridiculously good.
	9:50pm Stevel: Off the lake, back in the house with the dogs. They love me, and my feeding of them.
	9:50pm Julie M: And what lake is this, Stevel?
	9:51pm Stevel: Sylvan Lake. Rome City, Indiana.
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: my first girlfriend went away to the jersey shore for the whole summer. ...i's drinking black coffee and smoking cigarettes all night, hangin' in the pool hall...
	9:52pm Julie M: I grew up with lakes. The ocean is mighty, but damn, I love a lake.
	9:54pm Handy Haversack: Where did you grow up, Julie M? I canoe mostly on NYC ocean currents, and whenever I get to be around lakes I'm always very, very happy.
	9:54pm ultradamno: Oh, up there near Fort Wayne. I'm down the side near Muncie
	9:55pm ultradamno: I remember having a Jackson 5 board game.
	9:56pm Stevel: UD: Yup. Lived in FW since 88. Video version of lake evening. Pretend it was you! www.instagram.com...
	9:56pm Julie M: I grew up in Vermont, Handy. But I've been living just a couple miles from the ocean for many years now...
	9:57pm Stevel: Large bodies of water are special. I can sit and stare for hours. Being out on it is even better.
	9:58pm Handy Haversack: Word, Stevel. Word.
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: i thought when i moved farther from the ocean i'd miss it but no i have lakes and streams and pools within streams (the best) i do miss the broken glass and syringes and tampons and condoms and 6-pack holders and band-aids and broken flip-flops and bra underwires though.
	10:00pm Stevel: Fish: Very nostalgic. Streams are very cool. Recently kayaking, (not often, for no good reason) and its a lot of fun. Very accessible.
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: Stevel yes, special times (...actually they were)
	10:03pm Alex of Chicago: I bet it was fun to be a Soul Boy.
	10:04pm efd: I'm sure, Alex!
	10:06pm mr_mike: oooh, have to turn up the BT speaker for JB
	10:14pm Handy Haversack: A thousand copies!
	10:15pm efd: the confidence of youth!
	10:18pm mr_mike: freeez? as in AEIOU?
	10:18pm efd: I just love "Southern Freeez" to pieces.
	10:19pm efd: @mr_mike Correct! Just "IOU," to be exact. :)
	10:19pm Handy Haversack: Who's on lead vocals, eeefd?
	10:19pm Julie M: Very enjoyable so far. You may hit your goal with me this eve, efd.
	10:19pm Sam Pocker: great interview so far, I always love selling records out of the trunk of a car type of stories
	10:20pm efd: Handy, I am still kicking myself for not asking him more about her- Ingrid Mansfield Allman is the singer's name. He talks about how she came in at the last minute in the next segment and I really should have mentioned her name and talked about her more, her voice is just fantastic and really suits the song.
	10:21pm efd: thanks Sam!
	10:22pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, what a voice! We are big fans already! But the interview is excellent, efd. I understand regrets (boy, do I!). But it's really interesting stuff.
	10:24pm efd: that was the one Zoom dropout just then. Thankful that it was just that once.
	10:24pm efd: @Handy he kind of had a flow going that I didn't want to interrupt, but at the same time she deserves to be acknowledged.
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, heard and agreed, efd.
	10:37pm mr_mike: well I guess I'll be hearing IOU for the 5,000th time, but I'll appreciate it more this time. This song is woven into my existence and I never knew one GD thing about it. Thank you for playing other Freeez works.
	10:42pm efd: glad to provide some additional context, @mr_mike!
	10:44pm Carmichael: Heya Evan. Smoke is the name of the game today.
	10:45pm efd: I saw, Carmichael! Hope it doesn't get any worse than that for you (not to downplay dealing with smoke, of course).
	10:47pm mr_mike: Uh oh. Turning up the BT speaker
	10:48pm efd: this is John himself on lead vocals here, for those following along
	10:48pm PJ: Just tuning in - isn’t this an Ebn-Ozn song? Or did they cover the Freeze version?
	10:50pm efd: Ebn-Ozn had a DIFFERENT song, called "AEIOU Sometimes Y"
	10:50pm Carmichael: Late to the interview, but this is awesome!
	10:51pm PJ: @EFD: Synth-pop confuuusion
	10:51pm Handy Haversack: This one's more about owing something unto A. E. Housman, I'm pretty sure.
	10:53pm mr_mike: I have lost and regained, repurchased this 12" more than any other
	10:53pm PJ: @Handy: if Martin Newell hasn’t written that version of “A.E., IOU”, he’d better get to it
	10:55pm Handy Haversack: Ha, PJ, yeah! Great interview, efd! I knew nothing, but I learned a ton. Super well done.
	10:56pm efd: thanks Handy!
	10:58pm Jeffrey Davison: Great interview...thanks!
	10:58pm PJ: Pulling out my drum machine to get started on “EFD, IOU”
	10:59pm efd: DO IT, PJ!!
	10:59pm efd: Hi Jeffrey, thanks very much!
	10:59pm Handy Haversack: You have one week until the dance party, PJ!
	11:01pm Handy Haversack: (Though I think grammatically it might be"IOU EFD [XXX].") (To be capitalized as one's heart dictates.)
	11:02pm mr_mike: Right "real JD"? That interview was so smooth. Like they knew each other for years.
	11:03pm PJ: @EFD, Handy: Ha!
	11:05pm Handy Haversack: Daniel Blumin and Skeleton Scott: huzzah!
	11:15pm Julie M: Husker Du! But... No umlaut?
	11:16pm ultradamno: Do you remember the umlaut?
	11:17pm ultradamno: img1.etsystatic.com...
	11:17pm marx gibson: great great show
	11:17pm efd: @Julie the band doesn't use the umlaut, so I'm not using it either! Maybe the umlaut doesn't exist in Norwegian?
	11:18pm efd: thank you marx!
	11:18pm Julie M: It was a knee-jerk reaction, efd. I saw the name and thought of the band, not the album name...
	11:19pm Stevel: Did any of you have the game, Husker Du (I remember (?)) (add yer own umlauts)
	11:20pm efd: oh I get it Julie, I was looking for it myself!
	11:20pm Stevel: I never saw it https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-In-Sealed-Box-HUSKER-DU-Match-The-Pictures-MEMORY-Matching-Board-Game/193293726501?hash=item2d01343325:g:zQkAAOSw0TheF5js
	11:21pm Chop Scott: @Steve: I remember.
	11:23pm ultradamno: I did too...
	11:24pm ultradamno: It uses the umlaut line rather than dots too.
	11:24pm Julie M: Just a little proofreader trivia: The symbol in the name of the game is called a macron, not umlaut
	11:25pm ultradamno: That is good to know, thank you.
	11:26pm ultradamno: Had to get through some Emmanuel Macron returns to get results on that.
	11:30pm Julie M: Oh, darn it, look at that. Well, Evan, like Satan claiming another soul, you can chalk up another lost bedtime. And though we don’t really catch up on lost sleep, no, we don’t ever get that back, we do get the music. And that we can keep.
	11:31pm Stevel: Definitely need to see the Creem doc. Danny Says and Muscle Shoals are both not to be missed
	11:34pm Stevel: efd: Satan on a Wednesday.
	11:36pm efd: @Julie Sweet dreams! [evil laugh]
	11:37pm Julie M: Yeah, when I was younger, I could stay up! Good night, efd and all.
	11:40pm ultradamno: Got that Buried Alive 2 box with The Chicks' Rebel Kind on it, great stuff...The former Dixie Chicks need to be shamed off using that name
	11:49pm ultradamno: Flipper (82) before PiL (86)...
	11:50pm BH: well, the Dixie Chicks name change is going better than the Lady Antebellum name change
	11:52pm ultradamno: Yeah, they fudged that all up.
	11:53pm BH: there's a singer nicknamed Lady A who I believe is currently suing the former Lady Antebellum
	11:53pm Joe: Lady A piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/18/original-lady-speaks-out-how-be-better-ally/
	11:53pm ultradamno: Yeah, because to demonstrate their sensitivity over the name Antebellum, they demanded a black woman change her name. That's some tone deaf right there.
	12:00am ultradamno: In fairness to Flipper and PiL, Abba didn't go all out with generic graphics for "The Album"...which puts Eater and Fear in the running for earliest ripoff...
	12:01am Handy Haversack: Thanks, efd!
