	9:59pm efd: ha! you should hear some of the ticket giveaways I had! might play one later
	9:59pm Barkevious Shabazz: Playing Magazine in back of the concert listings was kinda a slick move. Noted.
	10:00pm geo in jc: I won so many tickets I was eventually banned from WNYU
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: If I wasn’t on a bus I’d be singing along to this one
	10:01pm listener 126464: albums too

	10:10pm Clyde: You reminded me about Our Daughter's Wedding. maybe Lawnchairs? or a deepcut?
	10:10pm TDK60: ..saw Go4 in Pittsburgh '83.
	10:10pm Clyde: or Suburban Lawns?!!
	10:10pm efd: OH YES CLYDE
	10:10pm Andrew S: but you still learn things, like ive never heard this version
	10:10pm CC: you got it Andy!!!...:)0(:...
	10:11pm Dan from Delco: Hello everybody. Digging this so much.
	10:11pm KP in DC: Good to hear from the old Gang, Evan
	10:12pm TDK60: that is a fact DJ EFD.
	10:12pm TDK60: Ah, this Phil song!
	10:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: Oh christ, it's Midge Ure's moustache.
	10:13pm HalifaxED: Great show so far!
	10:13pm efd: and the rest of him!
	10:14pm john: Both the Lynott solo records were fantastic, even if most Lizzy fans didn't know what to do with them.
	10:15pm Barkevious Shabazz: And to think, Kirk Brandon STILL works at a Wawa in Delco.
	10:16pm Motobro: EFD back in the NYU days YOU turned me onto Damaged Goods. As you said it still rocks today. Thank you Sir !!
	10:17pm CC: Like someone once said...some people see things that are and say why... some people dream things that never were and say why not... )0(...
	10:20pm P-90: Falling deeper and deeper into a mood of tangy sweet-and-sour nostalgia, in spite of myself
	10:21pm gw: Hey cc , whats with the god damned ):( ?
	10:22pm gw: And the cliches
	10:23pm KP in DC: Three and a half hours!
	10:23pm P-90: Eat your heart out, Harry Harrison
	10:24pm CC: I can say that I don't particularly care for Taylor Swift's music but I can appreciate the fact that she says vote them out!!!...like Willie!!..)0(..
	10:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: efd, I love these WNYU airchecks. When I was listening most consistently, Hugh was the host of The New Afternoon Show. I was but a wee girl!
	10:24pm Motobro: I remeber almost all of those NYU promos. I think the show was already 3 hours when I first found it. Especially the Wanders Ready to Snap one. You turned me onto that excellent tune as well.
	10:25pm Scrap.: I LOVE THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME!!!
	10:25pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I couldn’t always pick up WNYU in NJ but IIRC, it was still on the air in the 90s right?
	10:26pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I meant the New Afternoon Show was still on the air in the 90s.
	10:26pm Scraps: I requested it on Uncle Michael’s All-Request show, even
	10:26pm efd: it's still on the air now! It's evolved some since my era. :)
	10:26pm CC: GW that is simply two faces with a circle smiling on either side... or something like that...:)0(:...
	10:27pm Fuzzy: WCOZ, then into the Navy and 91X for me. This music is making my hair grow back, I think.
	10:27pm gw: N A S is on the air still , every weekday
	10:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Jeff, I was listening to The New Afternoon Show from about 1987 to early 1991, so I can vouch for that.
	10:27pm geo in jc: @Wendy, I remember efd, Aida, Hugh Foley, John Fox.. Anyone else you recall?
	10:30pm Andrew S: i neverr lived close enough to hear wnyu on terrestrial radio so i discovered it around the same time as i did wfmu, I was very late to the game, think Realplayer. I used to listen to NYC (and other cities) AM stations at night on the radio because they would carry for hundreds ad hundreds of miles but only at night
	10:30pm gw: Naomi , loscalzo , timmy sommer
	10:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: @geo. No. I have nothing else to offer. NYU didn't come in consistently at my childhood home in Morris County. I bounced back and forth between NYU and FMU, too. And my own records and stuff.
	10:32pm CC: oh wow man I think I messed up I thought this was downtown soulville...:)0(:
	10:32pm listener 126464: Go4 was scheduled to play fast lane in asbury park but supposedly bailed out at soundcheck and bush tetras played 3 sets instead
	10:34pm TDK60: I listen to WNYU sometimes; interesting shows; split signal with WFDU in Teaneck.
	10:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: It's EG.
	10:37pm steveL: You jumping around in there?!
	10:38pm CC: it don't matter just play some sexy songs!!!...hehehe...:)0(:...
	10:39pm efd: @steveL I would but I'm afraid the records would skip!
	10:39pm Motobro: Bush Tetras kicked as at the Fast Lane, saw them probably around 83 or 84, they were the headliners at that show.
	10:41pm Andrew S: superrock
	10:41pm CC: Far Away!!!...:)0(:...
	10:41pm listener 126464: power stance
	10:49pm Andrew S: too bad radio is something playing in the background for most people. Shows like this remind me of the vitality of radio and why it's always been my favourite medium. I "should" be working but all my senses are glued to this
	10:51pm Scraps: I saw the Bush Tetras in Seattle! Around 1981... when KYYX (I think) was briefly a new wave station. I was heartbroken when they stopped
	10:51pm Julie M: Ahhhhh. Gary Numan, that's the stuff. Now I'm twenty again.
	10:52pm efd: oh I've got another one in store for you Julie!
	10:54pm Julie M: Do it, efd!
	10:54pm Andrew S: As a canadian I love how gary numan took nash the slash under his wing, he probably supported him more than the music even merited, so did iggy, but it was pretty cool
	10:54pm KP in DC: Pigbag!
	10:54pm gw: Oh yeah , whats next, Konk? Spandau Ballet?
	10:55pm Scraps: Why “Cars” was a smash but “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” wasn’t (in America, that is) I’ll never understand.
	10:55pm efd: totally agree, Scraps! gw, I already played Spandau Ballet!
	10:56pm listener 126464: 1 set is enough of bush tetras
	10:56pm listener 126464: konk party
	10:57pm chris_in_space: Anyone from the Toronto area over the age of 40 knows "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" as "Theme From New Music", CityTV, early 1980s.
	10:58pm Andrew S: yep
	10:58pm KP in DC: I had just started working in the city when I got into the New Afternoon Show. I’d listen, get psyched and drive in
	10:58pm gw: Not - To Cut A Long Story Short, though
	10:58pm Andrew S: and cameras rolling on emopty trains
	11:00pm geo in jc: “..Some of the music played on the New afternoon show is provided by 99 records 99 McDougal St.”
	11:00pm Andrew S: you could watch a test pattern or the empty streets of toronto, there wasnt much else on maybe a crazy preacher or two
	11:00pm CC: very melodic...
	11:01pm Scraps: Diagram Brothers! Bricks!
	11:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: Faye Fife wannabe
	11:02pm CC: I live in Texas and I have to watch the local news and then Stephen Colbert...gnight yall... great show!!!...:)0(:...
	11:02pm efd: oh snap Barkevious
	11:03pm Barkevious Shabazz: Oh yeah! Big talker.
	11:05pm Julie M: Yes! Love it. Here's my memory of this song: Me and Karen trying to sync up our copies of this song on our turntables, but of course always off by a couple of seconds. Trippy! Maybe you were there...
	11:06pm Barkevious Shabazz: Previn did go on to record with Great White, tho.
	11:07pm steveL: Damn. John Cale. Always.
	11:09pm efd: @Julie haha, I can totally imagine that happening although I can't say I recall it firsthand.
	11:09pm KP in DC: One new afternoon show stands out over all. One day the then barely known Pogues came in and played for what seemed like the whole. Absolutely gripping. I had heard of them but didn’t really know. Then I did.
	11:10pm herb.nyc: Someone, somewhere, is hearing some of these songs for first time. And their jaw be dropping. - no promo for 99 Records?
	11:11pm gw: Spesking of the ladies efd how about lene lovitch or rachel sweet or souzie or nina hagen
	11:12pm efd: I only have the metro records one, herb!
	11:14pm efd: hey! Psyched to see the progress bar on the pledge banner is up to 40% - thank you, everyone who's pledged! Let's see if we can hit my show goal of 50% by midnight! pledge.wfmu.org... or hit that black banner over there!
	11:15pm Scraps: Ah, Nona Hendryx always makes me think of my wife Velma (who loved her)... October 18th, deceased for 4 years (fucking cancer).
	11:15pm efd: oh man, so sorry Scraps. Prompting good memories, I hope. <3
	11:16pm Scraps: Rachel Sweet: “Tonight” is one of my fifty favorite pop singles evah
	11:18pm Jim Allen: Oh man, you're going deep for Hurdy Gurdy Man! I haven't thought about this one in 30-some years!
	11:19pm Scraps: Kristian Hoffman! Awesome!
	11:19pm listener 126464: catch kristian's show on luxuriamusic.com sundays 3-5 pm est
	11:20pm Scraps: efd: oh yes. I wouldn’t have mentioned it otherwise. Cheers.
	11:21pm Gaylord Fields: efd, you’ve certainly covered all the new wave postpunk bases tonight, much to my nostalgic delight!
	11:22pm efd: high praise, thank you Gaylord!
	11:22pm Gaylord Fields: However, here’s one you may have missed: youtube.com...
	11:26pm efd: ha! oh boy, I'm going to have to go back to that later with the sound on
	11:27pm Motobro: Pull Up
	11:27pm Andrew S: im trying to hit my goal of the rent for next month. aftetr that the priority is staying a part of wfmu, cant put a number to what this station means to me. I was friggin heaetbroken a recent saturday morning when i didnt hear bob brainen, was like disorienting, like the sun not rising
	11:28pm Scraps: Oh oh oh oh oh what a great dB’s song
	11:28pm Gaylord Fields: The Records’ second album, Crashes, is power pop glory and woefully neglected. John Wicks made us happy, so I mourn his death and celebrate his music.
	11:29pm chris_in_space: When I hear Black & White, I think of @efd, every time. It's what I think of as your unofficial theme song.
	11:29pm petry: Yeah , a new kids show . Oofff
	11:31pm Andrew S: oh i dont mean toi disparage what replaced it, im sure ill love it. It was just like a page had turned. I like kids shows,greasy kids stuff was one of my fave shows on fmu back ijn the day
	11:31pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: It’s unsurprising that this fabulous show would bring to mind the new wave classic I just shared with you.
	11:32pm Roberto: I was listening to Repercussion recently during a late-night drive. I'm still impressed by how many amazing songs those guys recorded in a relatively short time.
	11:34pm joe: Shhh The Damned is on
	11:34pm slocker: groovy
	11:35pm petry: Some early Dexys? To play
	11:35pm Jim Allen: I got the Friday the 13th 7" at...where else? Metro Records!
	11:36pm Andrew S: love the swirling keyboards and heavy bass. Damned and Stranglers had that down
	11:38pm Kat in Chicago: OMG these airchecks are gold. Great show, Evan!
	11:38pm joe: Going to see PIL on Saturday.
	11:38pm chris_in_space: That WNYU station ID stuff was ON POINT! Love it!
	11:39pm Barkevious Shabazz: Whoa, I've got to hear that Bow-Wow-Wow/Pil story.
	11:39pm petry: Lydon will be wheeled in on a gurney
	11:39pm joe: I'm assuming it is the PIL Ritz Riot story
	11:40pm Andrew S: yeah the airchecks really are a fun glimpse. Honestly though, other than a little change in inflection there isnt a whole lot of change
	11:40pm Jim Allen: Hypnobeat! All-time fave! I've covered this with my band!
	11:41pm Julie M: Hypno-land is where I'm headed. What a great show. Thanks, Evan!
	11:43pm Jim Allen: Oh yeah, Cyclones! I actually just met their bassist Marc Seligman a few weeks ago. I think I unnerved him with my knowledge of his early '80s activities. :)
	11:45pm Kat in Chicago: I might still have my original beat-to-shit 45 of "Rescue"
	11:46pm Motobro: Great show, thank you Evan.
	11:46pm Kat in Chicago: I need to go grab my laundry but I have to hear this first.
	11:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: This Dexy's track is IT.
	11:50pm efd: rrrrrrrrrright!
	11:50pm Roberto: Dexy's should have been a 100-hit wonder.
	11:51pm Andrew S: yeah they had so much more than eileen they were great
	11:54pm steveL: Never tire of this song!
	11:54pm Fuzzy: No Cosmopolitans? I'm cry!
	11:54pm chris_in_space: Really cool stuff, @efd. Great air checks, great show. An instant classic.
	11:54pm joe: If you don't know and want to know how that show played out this is a pretty good write up diffuser.fm...
	11:54pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ace show, EFD.
	11:55pm P-90: I’m STILL bummed that Bow Wow Wow cancelled
	11:55pm KP in DC: It’s so angry
	11:55pm newberry: Imma let you finish EFD, but WHERE ARE MY PIL TICKETS!@#$
	11:56pm efd: I feel like playing the Cosmopolitans would be a conflict of interest, not that I see a single penny from anything I'd play (and, for that matter, not that there are even pennies to be seen!)
	11:56pm Gaylord Fields: I’m no longer hangry for great music, thanks to efd!
	11:56pm Fuzzy: Ah....toot your own drum!
	11:57pm Andrew S: was a joy as usual efd. love to all bye bye
	11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, efd. Have a good evening.
	11:58pm john: Did not think this show would be possible--even legal?--without APB. Great show, Evan!
	11:58pm Fuzzy: Excellent show! Thanks for the blast from the past!
	11:58pm joe: Great show Evan has a blast
	11:58pm Jim Allen: Evan, you totally killed it! tonight Thanks!
	11:58pm joe: ...had a blast
	11:59pm gw: Another great show efd , time goes by .
	12:01am Motobro: So Good! APB As Fisher Z song goes “so long” thank you
	10:01am Cal Zone!: Great show EFD!
	11:01am carl G: New Wave, punk,progressive, pop party!
	8:15pm YupiHaveOne: Capital Radio was the name of Collete Rosignal's radio show on WPKN Bridgeport back in 81! U can guess what music she played. She's still doin her show in 2018!

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.

	9:59pm efd: ha! you should hear some of the ticket giveaways I had! might play one later
	9:59pm Barkevious Shabazz: Playing Magazine in back of the concert listings was kinda a slick move. Noted.
	10:00pm geo in jc: I won so many tickets I was eventually banned from WNYU
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: If I wasn’t on a bus I’d be singing along to this one
	10:01pm listener 126464: albums too

	10:10pm Clyde: or Suburban Lawns?!!
	10:10pm efd: OH YES CLYDE
	10:10pm Andrew S: but you still learn things, like ive never heard this version
	10:10pm CC: you got it Andy!!!...:)0(:...
	10:11pm Dan from Delco: Hello everybody. Digging this so much.
	10:11pm KP in DC: Good to hear from the old Gang, Evan
	10:12pm TDK60: that is a fact DJ EFD.
	10:12pm TDK60: Ah, this Phil song!
	10:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: Oh christ, it's Midge Ure's moustache.
	10:13pm HalifaxED: Great show so far!
	10:13pm efd: and the rest of him!
	10:14pm john: Both the Lynott solo records were fantastic, even if most Lizzy fans didn't know what to do with them.
	10:15pm Barkevious Shabazz: And to think, Kirk Brandon STILL works at a Wawa in Delco.
	10:16pm Motobro: EFD back in the NYU days YOU turned me onto Damaged Goods. As you said it still rocks today. Thank you Sir !!
	10:17pm CC: Like someone once said...some people see things that are and say why... some people dream things that never were and say why not... )0(...
	10:20pm P-90: Falling deeper and deeper into a mood of tangy sweet-and-sour nostalgia, in spite of myself
	10:21pm gw: Hey cc , whats with the god damned ):( ?
	10:22pm gw: And the cliches
	10:23pm KP in DC: Three and a half hours!
	10:23pm P-90: Eat your heart out, Harry Harrison
	10:24pm CC: I can say that I don't particularly care for Taylor Swift's music but I can appreciate the fact that she says vote them out!!!...like Willie!!..)0(..
	10:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: efd, I love these WNYU airchecks. When I was listening most consistently, Hugh was the host of The New Afternoon Show. I was but a wee girl!
	10:24pm Motobro: I remeber almost all of those NYU promos. I think the show was already 3 hours when I first found it. Especially the Wanders Ready to Snap one. You turned me onto that excellent tune as well.
	10:25pm Scrap.: I LOVE THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME!!!
	10:25pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I couldn’t always pick up WNYU in NJ but IIRC, it was still on the air in the 90s right?
	10:26pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I meant the New Afternoon Show was still on the air in the 90s.
	10:26pm Scraps: I requested it on Uncle Michael’s All-Request show, even
	10:26pm efd: it's still on the air now! It's evolved some since my era. :)
	10:26pm CC: GW that is simply two faces with a circle smiling on either side... or something like that...:)0(:...
	10:27pm Fuzzy: WCOZ, then into the Navy and 91X for me. This music is making my hair grow back, I think.
	10:27pm gw: N A S is on the air still , every weekday
	10:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Jeff, I was listening to The New Afternoon Show from about 1987 to early 1991, so I can vouch for that.
	10:27pm geo in jc: @Wendy, I remember efd, Aida, Hugh Foley, John Fox.. Anyone else you recall?
	10:30pm Andrew S: i neverr lived close enough to hear wnyu on terrestrial radio so i discovered it around the same time as i did wfmu, I was very late to the game, think Realplayer. I used to listen to NYC (and other cities) AM stations at night on the radio because they would carry for hundreds ad hundreds of miles but only at night
	10:30pm gw: Naomi , loscalzo , timmy sommer
	10:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: @geo. No. I have nothing else to offer. NYU didn't come in consistently at my childhood home in Morris County. I bounced back and forth between NYU and FMU, too. And my own records and stuff.
	10:32pm CC: oh wow man I think I messed up I thought this was downtown soulville...:)0(:
	10:32pm listener 126464: Go4 was scheduled to play fast lane in asbury park but supposedly bailed out at soundcheck and bush tetras played 3 sets instead
	10:34pm TDK60: I listen to WNYU sometimes; interesting shows; split signal with WFDU in Teaneck.
	10:36pm Barkevious Shabazz: It's EG.
	10:37pm steveL: You jumping around in there?!
	10:38pm CC: it don't matter just play some sexy songs!!!...hehehe...:)0(:...
	10:39pm efd: @steveL I would but I'm afraid the records would skip!
	10:39pm Motobro: Bush Tetras kicked as at the Fast Lane, saw them probably around 83 or 84, they were the headliners at that show.
	10:41pm Andrew S: superrock
	10:41pm CC: Far Away!!!...:)0(:...
	10:41pm listener 126464: power stance
	10:49pm Andrew S: too bad radio is something playing in the background for most people. Shows like this remind me of the vitality of radio and why it's always been my favourite medium. I "should" be working but all my senses are glued to this
	10:51pm Scraps: I saw the Bush Tetras in Seattle! Around 1981... when KYYX (I think) was briefly a new wave station. I was heartbroken when they stopped
	10:51pm Julie M: Ahhhhh. Gary Numan, that's the stuff. Now I'm twenty again.
	10:52pm efd: oh I've got another one in store for you Julie!
	10:54pm Julie M: Do it, efd!
	10:54pm Andrew S: As a canadian I love how gary numan took nash the slash under his wing, he probably supported him more than the music even merited, so did iggy, but it was pretty cool
	10:54pm KP in DC: Pigbag!
	10:54pm gw: Oh yeah , whats next, Konk? Spandau Ballet?
	10:55pm Scraps: Why “Cars” was a smash but “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” wasn’t (in America, that is) I’ll never understand.
	10:55pm efd: totally agree, Scraps! gw, I already played Spandau Ballet!
	10:56pm listener 126464: 1 set is enough of bush tetras
	10:56pm listener 126464: konk party
	10:57pm chris_in_space: Anyone from the Toronto area over the age of 40 knows "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" as "Theme From New Music", CityTV, early 1980s.
	10:58pm Andrew S: yep
	10:58pm KP in DC: I had just started working in the city when I got into the New Afternoon Show. I’d listen, get psyched and drive in
	10:58pm gw: Not - To Cut A Long Story Short, though
	10:58pm Andrew S: and cameras rolling on emopty trains
	11:00pm geo in jc: “..Some of the music played on the New afternoon show is provided by 99 records 99 McDougal St.”
	11:00pm Andrew S: you could watch a test pattern or the empty streets of toronto, there wasnt much else on maybe a crazy preacher or two
	11:00pm CC: very melodic...
	11:01pm Scraps: Diagram Brothers! Bricks!
	11:02pm Barkevious Shabazz: Faye Fife wannabe
	11:02pm CC: I live in Texas and I have to watch the local news and then Stephen Colbert...gnight yall... great show!!!...:)0(:...
	11:02pm efd: oh snap Barkevious
	11:03pm Barkevious Shabazz: Oh yeah! Big talker.
	11:05pm Julie M: Yes! Love it. Here's my memory of this song: Me and Karen trying to sync up our copies of this song on our turntables, but of course always off by a couple of seconds. Trippy! Maybe you were there...
	11:06pm Barkevious Shabazz: Previn did go on to record with Great White, tho.
	11:07pm steveL: Damn. John Cale. Always.
	11:09pm efd: @Julie haha, I can totally imagine that happening although I can't say I recall it firsthand.
	11:09pm KP in DC: One new afternoon show stands out over all. One day the then barely known Pogues came in and played for what seemed like the whole. Absolutely gripping. I had heard of them but didn’t really know. Then I did.
	11:10pm herb.nyc: Someone, somewhere, is hearing some of these songs for first time. And their jaw be dropping. - no promo for 99 Records?
	11:11pm gw: Spesking of the ladies efd how about lene lovitch or rachel sweet or souzie or nina hagen
	11:12pm efd: I only have the metro records one, herb!
	11:14pm efd: hey! Psyched to see the progress bar on the pledge banner is up to 40% - thank you, everyone who's pledged! Let's see if we can hit my show goal of 50% by midnight! pledge.wfmu.org... or hit that black banner over there!
	11:15pm Scraps: Ah, Nona Hendryx always makes me think of my wife Velma (who loved her)... October 18th, deceased for 4 years (fucking cancer).
	11:15pm efd: oh man, so sorry Scraps. Prompting good memories, I hope. <3
	11:16pm Scraps: Rachel Sweet: “Tonight” is one of my fifty favorite pop singles evah
	11:18pm Jim Allen: Oh man, you're going deep for Hurdy Gurdy Man! I haven't thought about this one in 30-some years!
	11:19pm Scraps: Kristian Hoffman! Awesome!
	11:19pm listener 126464: catch kristian's show on luxuriamusic.com sundays 3-5 pm est
	11:20pm Scraps: efd: oh yes. I wouldn’t have mentioned it otherwise. Cheers.
	11:21pm Gaylord Fields: efd, you’ve certainly covered all the new wave postpunk bases tonight, much to my nostalgic delight!
	11:22pm efd: high praise, thank you Gaylord!
	11:22pm Gaylord Fields: However, here’s one you may have missed: youtube.com...
	11:26pm efd: ha! oh boy, I'm going to have to go back to that later with the sound on
	11:27pm Motobro: Pull Up
	11:27pm Andrew S: im trying to hit my goal of the rent for next month. aftetr that the priority is staying a part of wfmu, cant put a number to what this station means to me. I was friggin heaetbroken a recent saturday morning when i didnt hear bob brainen, was like disorienting, like the sun not rising
	11:28pm Scraps: Oh oh oh oh oh what a great dB’s song
	11:28pm Gaylord Fields: The Records’ second album, Crashes, is power pop glory and woefully neglected. John Wicks made us happy, so I mourn his death and celebrate his music.
	11:29pm chris_in_space: When I hear Black & White, I think of @efd, every time. It's what I think of as your unofficial theme song.
	11:29pm petry: Yeah , a new kids show . Oofff
	11:31pm Andrew S: oh i dont mean toi disparage what replaced it, im sure ill love it. It was just like a page had turned. I like kids shows,greasy kids stuff was one of my fave shows on fmu back ijn the day
	11:31pm Gaylord Fields: @efd: It’s unsurprising that this fabulous show would bring to mind the new wave classic I just shared with you.
	11:32pm Roberto: I was listening to Repercussion recently during a late-night drive. I'm still impressed by how many amazing songs those guys recorded in a relatively short time.
	11:34pm joe: Shhh The Damned is on
	11:34pm slocker: groovy
	11:35pm petry: Some early Dexys? To play
	11:35pm Jim Allen: I got the Friday the 13th 7" at...where else? Metro Records!
	11:36pm Andrew S: love the swirling keyboards and heavy bass. Damned and Stranglers had that down
	11:38pm Kat in Chicago: OMG these airchecks are gold. Great show, Evan!
	11:38pm joe: Going to see PIL on Saturday.
	11:38pm chris_in_space: That WNYU station ID stuff was ON POINT! Love it!
	11:39pm Barkevious Shabazz: Whoa, I've got to hear that Bow-Wow-Wow/Pil story.
	11:39pm petry: Lydon will be wheeled in on a gurney
	11:39pm joe: I'm assuming it is the PIL Ritz Riot story
	11:40pm Andrew S: yeah the airchecks really are a fun glimpse. Honestly though, other than a little change in inflection there isnt a whole lot of change
	11:40pm Jim Allen: Hypnobeat! All-time fave! I've covered this with my band!
	11:41pm Julie M: Hypno-land is where I'm headed. What a great show. Thanks, Evan!
	11:43pm Jim Allen: Oh yeah, Cyclones! I actually just met their bassist Marc Seligman a few weeks ago. I think I unnerved him with my knowledge of his early '80s activities. :)
	11:45pm Kat in Chicago: I might still have my original beat-to-shit 45 of "Rescue"
	11:46pm Motobro: Great show, thank you Evan.
	11:46pm Kat in Chicago: I need to go grab my laundry but I have to hear this first.
	11:49pm Barkevious Shabazz: This Dexy's track is IT.
	11:50pm efd: rrrrrrrrrright!
	11:50pm Roberto: Dexy's should have been a 100-hit wonder.
	11:51pm Andrew S: yeah they had so much more than eileen they were great
	11:54pm steveL: Never tire of this song!
	11:54pm Fuzzy: No Cosmopolitans? I'm cry!
	11:54pm chris_in_space: Really cool stuff, @efd. Great air checks, great show. An instant classic.
	11:54pm joe: If you don't know and want to know how that show played out this is a pretty good write up diffuser.fm...
	11:54pm Barkevious Shabazz: Ace show, EFD.
	11:55pm P-90: I’m STILL bummed that Bow Wow Wow cancelled
	11:55pm KP in DC: It’s so angry
	11:55pm newberry: Imma let you finish EFD, but WHERE ARE MY PIL TICKETS!@#$
	11:56pm efd: I feel like playing the Cosmopolitans would be a conflict of interest, not that I see a single penny from anything I'd play (and, for that matter, not that there are even pennies to be seen!)
	11:56pm Gaylord Fields: I’m no longer hangry for great music, thanks to efd!
	11:56pm Fuzzy: Ah....toot your own drum!
	11:57pm Andrew S: was a joy as usual efd. love to all bye bye
	11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, efd. Have a good evening.
	11:58pm john: Did not think this show would be possible--even legal?--without APB. Great show, Evan!
	11:58pm Fuzzy: Excellent show! Thanks for the blast from the past!
	11:58pm joe: Great show Evan has a blast
	11:58pm Jim Allen: Evan, you totally killed it! tonight Thanks!
