	♥ 12:03pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald" by "gordon li... Apparently the released take of this was just the first-run through where Gordon was showing the band the different parts.
	12:03pm clarke: RIP Gordon EFD - he's dynOmite
	♥ 12:03pm tim from washington: efd! efd! efd!

	12:04pm wenzo: RIP GL
	♥ 12:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald" by "gordon li... When you think of the 70s, think of Gordon. RIP
	♥ 12:04pm Bryant in TO: I'd raise a glass of Edmund Fitz porter right now if I had any
	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Song: "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald" by "gordon li... i once saw NRBQ cover this - not so reverently, ha ha. but, i always dig the pedal steel technics goin' on.
	♥ 12:04pm efd: ↳ mrdonutsu @12:03 I was just reading about that yesterday, crazy!
	12:05pm UncleHeavy: Ahh the unofficial anthem of my home state ❤️✋ RIP
	♥ 12:05pm Pedro in Arlington: I thought NRBQ wrote "Edmund Fitzgerald." youtu.be...
	♥ 12:05pm love2laf: Man oh man, thank you efd. Crying yet again. I live an hour away from Gordon Lightfoot's hometown, and feeling pretty gutted. He had a good long life, and left us a wealth of music, but still feels like not enough.
	♥ 12:05pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 12:05pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and mourners. You wasted no time with this tribute.
	♥ 12:06pm Handy Haversack: There's often a cool moment in the spring after the ice melts off Lake Michigan (et al.) and before the algae bloom where the waters are perfectly clear and from the air you can see the wrecked ships on the bottom. I saw a great exhibit on it in the Ludington, MI, Maritime Museum.
	12:06pm Eugene R.: More like the wreck of the Lightfoot Listeners. <sob, sob, sob>
	♥ 12:06pm Gregolomania: We can still slip away on the Carefree Highway.
	♥ 12:06pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @12:05 well, it's not a full-on trib. Maybe one more song later.
	12:06pm Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:05 It won’t let me read
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Song: "wait too long" by "eastern bloc" wow - been a minute since i heard this!
	12:07pm BillfromRockTavern: I'm getting teary eyed listening to this, especially that I read the hall he sings about in the song will ring bells in his honor
	♥ 12:08pm JetBoy of Astoria: Hello E"F"D and all!
	♥ 12:08pm tim from washington: About 15 years ago I was at my regular bar the same evening as Gordon Lightfoot was playing in town. Around 9:30 a disparate group of bar regulars rolled in super hyped on seeing Gordon Lightfoot. I basked in their glory. Their enthusiasm was actually touching.
	12:08pm Andres: Good aft, efd and all. That same church bell in Detroit tolled 30 times the other day. 29 times for the crew and once for Gordon Lightfoot. He leaves behind an incredible legacy.
	♥ 12:08pm xtrakrispy: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:The Headstones covering Edmund Fitzgerald. youtu.be...
	♥ 12:08pm McGroovey: More Gord!
	12:09pm clarke: Scrapple Is Back!!!
	♥ 12:09pm JetBoy of Astoria: THis eastern bloc song sounds a lot like the paul westerberg solo stuff but it's from 1987 - beat paul to the low point of his career by like 25 years!
	♥ 12:09pm tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:06 Handy, I did not know that! That's amazing. This is why you are Pure Michigan through and through!
	12:10pm Pax: it's time for the Evan,"the Funk",and the Davies Show:
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:06 pure!
	♥ 12:10pm Carmichael: ↳ efd @12:06 You haved enough material for a 3 hour tribute. Sometimes less is better.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Song: "empty sky" by "elton john" good album!
	♥ 12:11pm McGroovey: ↳ mrdonutsu @12:03 Perhaps that circumstance helped give it the storytelling feel it has.
	♥ 12:11pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ xtrakrispy @12:08 Really good. Thanks.
	12:12pm Mister Dobalina: Cool track!
	♥ 12:12pm Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "empty sky" by "elton john" Greetings EFD. Now that's some good EJ the DJ stuff
	♥ 12:12pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @12:10 i'm just not well-versed enough in his catalog. All I really know are the hits.
	♥ 12:13pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:06 There are about 20 Lake Huron wrecks you can tour (by SCUBA or just boat ride) around Tobermory on the Bruce Peninsula. Need to get on that some day.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:12 ALL gordon's folky stuff on United Artists is a treasure!
	♥ 12:14pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...DAMMIT I MISSED GORDON LIGHTFOOT!!
	♥ 12:14pm tim from washington: Hey NYC!
	♥ 12:15pm Evan from Westfield: EFD, that was a hilarious edition of Pop Rocks this morning on Wake
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bryant in TO @12:13 Oooo, cool!
	♥ 12:15pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "empty sky" by "elton john" Double shot with "Empty Garden"?
	♥ 12:15pm McGroovey: The '60s records are solidly great. The '70s records that had the US hits are less compelling; in between the great and well-know songs, there are boring, uncompelling one.
	♥ 12:15pm tim from washington: The only Beck album I've spent any time with is Sea Change. I mainly liked it because I thought it sounded like Gordon Lightfoot.
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: Dark Night Julie is an Elton John font, that's for sure.
	♥ 12:16pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @12:15 (referring to Gordon Lightfoot, in case it wasn't clear)
	♥ 12:16pm nycmusicnerd: I was lucky enough to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert a few years ago. While introducing "Edmund Fitzgerald", he shared that he's stayed in touch with the families over the years and that they really appreciated the attention he brought to the disaster. Then he said something else that was chilling: To this day, no trace of the bodies of those that died has ever been recovered.
	♥ 12:16pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 She's definitely in cahoots with big Elton corp!
	♥ 12:17pm Baja Joe: ↳ tim from washington @12:15 Is that Beck release terrific, or what? Love it myself.
	♥ 12:17pm efd: ↳ Evan from Westfield @12:15 ha, glad you enjoyed it Evan
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:15 that is weird, because i just pulled out Sea Change the other day - and while i don't get a GL vibe, i certainly think that album and a more recent acoustic one are beck's best.
	♥ 12:18pm Pedro in Arlington: Available on several streaming platforms and quite good and recent. Even has a picture of Gord and Harry Belafonte. www.imdb.com...
	♥ 12:18pm tim from washington: ↳ Baja Joe @12:17 Yeah, that was really the only Beck I ever got into. I don't dilike him but never really paid attention. I liked the mellow vibe of Sea Change all the way through. Easy on the ears. :)
	♥ 12:19pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, McGroove, Tim from WA, Handy, Bagpipe orchestrating a drone strike, Clarke, NYCMnerd, HyperD, Prof, everybody!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:18 Morning ______ is pretty good, as well.
	♥ 12:19pm Bryant in TO: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:16 Man, that is chilling. Makes "the lake, it is said, never gives up her dead" hit that much harder
	♥ 12:19pm Carmichael: ↳ tim from washington @12:18 Beck was on ... Kimmel? ... last night, with a band or guy named Gorillaz. It was a low key affair.
	♥ 12:20pm steveo: As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have personal beliefs or experiences. However, I can provide information on what crab butter is.
	♥ 12:20pm tim from washington: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:16 That's a gret story, NYC!
	♥ 12:20pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Bryant in TO @12:19 Yeah. I didn't even realize it was a true story until he mentioned it at the concert.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:19 Morning Phase - very good.
	♥ 12:21pm McGroovey: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:16 Lake Superior is deep, and the areas of Michigan and Ontario that make up most of its shores are pretty wild.
	♥ 12:21pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "breaking the rules" by "mamma tried" At Jack's Music Shoppe on Saturday, omnipresent Judy pointed out a guitar that a Mamma Tried member sold to the store, evidently Springsteen had played it onstage with them.
	♥ 12:22pm McGroovey: ↳ steveo @12:20 Hello, Mr Robot. Tell us about crab butter!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:21 as i have opined, here, before: would love to go to the Upper Peninsula sometime (not in winter)
	♥ 12:22pm RevWaldo: ↳ Song: "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald" by "gordon li... Top 5 songs about death - Bastard, that's so good it should've been mine. RIP
	♥ 12:22pm efd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:21 whoa!! Omnipresent and omniscient as well, apparently!
	♥ 12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:19 Hey, Jack! BP is always "breaking the rules"!
	♥ 12:22pm JetBoy of Astoria: ↳ clarke @12:22 UP skiing is pretty good though
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:21 mornin' jaaack
	12:23pm clapper: Shakane!!!! Yesssss!!!!! How u know these lads???
	♥ 12:23pm prof.fuzz: jack!!!! clarkEEEEEEEEE!!!!
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @12:22 it might be - for a skier, ha ha
	12:23pm Pax: I bet that DN Julie never neglects to always refers to him as Sir Elton John.
	12:24pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	♥ 12:24pm mrdonutsu: ↳ McGroovey @12:11 Indeed. I don't think Steely Dan could have pulled it off — even with 10,000 coked-out takes of the final fadeout.
	♥ 12:25pm JetBoy of Astoria: ↳ clarke @12:23 Well, yeah, I guess that's true.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" yesssss!!!
	♥ 12:25pm prof.fuzz: we got to spend a lovely afternoon on the lake superior shore in duluth a few years ago, killing time before a gig at a barber shop in superior WI later that night. beautiful...
	♥ 12:25pm JetBoy of Astoria: ↳ clarke @12:25 I second that!
	♥ 12:25pm James in ATL: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" Always great to hear Cheap Trick! Great cover!
	♥ 12:26pm tim from washington: ↳ clarke @12:22 You could go up to da UP and hang out at deer camp like Da Yoopers.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:25 had no idea ya'll did quartet singing!
	♥ 12:26pm Carmichael: ↳ James in ATL @12:25 Produced by .....
	♥ 12:26pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:22 I've never been there. I've actually only been in the southern tier of Michigan a couple times, to visit friends in SW Michigan. I'd love to do a trip around all the Great Lakes some time--skipping Lake Michigan, since I've seen it enough, and it's kinda boring. And Lake Erie is kinda boring. I grew up on the shores of Lake Ontario, so I know it well, but it's less boring. OK, actually, I want to go around Lake Superior and Lake Huron the most.
	♥ 12:26pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" Gotta say I prefer the original, but kudos for them covering.
	♥ 12:26pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" Todd Rundgren produced this album and you can really tell.
	12:26pm clarke: todd
	♥ 12:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:26 we're pretty good at it... for a trio!
	♥ 12:27pm MarciB: At first I thought this was Sparks lol
	♥ 12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ MarciB @12:27 I thought that also. It does have that Todd-Rundgren-meets-Sparks thing.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:26 i wouldn't say the western michigan shore of Lake Michigan was boring - lotsa nice beach communities and galleries and such. (leland area, etc)
	♥ 12:28pm Gregolomania: ↳ Jack McGuire @12:26 CT always had great taste in covers. Who else did covers of The Move?
	♥ 12:28pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:28 Beaches are boring. I want to see weird nature.
	12:29pm clarke: did you go to Leland? that beach reminded me of cape cod, actually.
	♥ 12:29pm tim from washington: ↳ McGroovey @12:28 Them's fightin' word, bub! Michigan Lake Michigan beaches are the greatest beaches in the world!
	12:31pm clarke: dont git timothy all riled up!!
	♥ 12:31pm McGroovey: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 I'm sure they are, but a beach is a beach. We have no shortage of beaches in the NYC area.
	♥ 12:31pm Carmichael: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 HA HA, they beat California beaches all to hell!
	♥ 12:32pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 They might be great, but they're not weird. McGroovey wants WEIRD.
	12:32pm clarke: i listened to Next Positon Please a LOT!!
	♥ 12:32pm Jack McGuire: McMasters
	12:34pm clarke: wow, you alphabetized your singles.
	♥ 12:34pm steveo: ↳ steveo @12:20 I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I'm not aware of any commercially available "artificial crab butter".
	12:35pm clarke: elton's first full album was Tumbleweed Connection, i believe
	♥ 12:35pm McGroovey: Next Position Please wasn't a hit, and had no real hit single. I like the album a lot, but I'll admit that I bought it because it's really a Todd Rundgren album. From the Rolling Stones review: A better title for this one would have been Next Producer Please, because from the signature harmonies of "I Can't Take It" to the predictable chorus of "Heaven's Falling," it's clear that this album belongs as much to producer Todd Rundgren
	♥ 12:36pm tim from washington: ↳ McGroovey @12:31 I got your weird beach right here, pal! ;)
	♥ 12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 Gonna have to side with Purity here.
	♥ 12:37pm McGroovey: ↳ tim from washington @12:36 Oh, myyyy....
	12:37pm clarke: i saw the Trick on this tour (well, have seen them a lot) and with jon brandt on bass, they were still great! also had a keyboard player on this tour.
	♥ 12:37pm Aaron Working In Newark: Good afternoon Evan
	♥ 12:38pm Bryant in TO: We lost Gordon Pinsent in February, too! More needs to be done to safeguard Canada's Gord supply!
	♥ 12:39pm tim from washington: I did see Cheap Trick once at a park next to a beach in St Joseph, MI.
	12:39pm clarke: pure!!!
	♥ 12:39pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "wait too long" by "eastern bloc" Looks like George Usher or Vinny DeNunzio could connect you easily with Sidgwick.
	12:39pm Pax: It's cold around the Great lakes, Excluding Chicago there isn't a large population of people that don't live there, especially on the east coast of the lakes where it's the coldest.
	♥ 12:39pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:35 Tumbleweed Connection was EJ's 3rd album. the 1st US release was Elton John, followed by Tumbleweed Connection. Empty Sky wasn't released in the US until '75..
	♥ 12:40pm Handy Haversack: This is brilliant. Well done, Pensacola Blue Waves(?) media team!
	♥ 12:40pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:37 Who plays drums for them now?
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:39 yes but what was the order in UK??
	♥ 12:40pm slocker: That's a good one
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:40 Blue Wahoos. Of course.
	♥ 12:41pm nycmusicnerd: I love a brilliant parody.
	♥ 12:41pm love2laf: Damn, damn, damn, that's a beautiful thing, glad you read it out, my eyes seem to be blurring big time.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:40 blue wahoos - just saw them play a few years ago when they played the Sugarland Skeeters.
	♥ 12:41pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Big Joanie! Super glad to have tix to see them 5/25 -- sold out now!
	♥ 12:41pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Carmichael @12:40 rick's son is the drummer now.
	♥ 12:42pm efd: Blue Wahoos game notes: twitter.com...
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:40 Dax Nielson and he is really great!! very reverent to bun e, etc.
	♥ 12:43pm G: ↳ Pax @12:39 It's fine in spring/summer/fall. My parents rented a house along the Lake (across a small shore road, maybe 22), so we spent several vacations there. Not far from Sleeping Bear Dunes.
	♥ 12:43pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ efd @12:42 Damn, that is brilliant! I love it.
	♥ 12:43pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:40 Empty Sky, Elton John & Tumbleweed Connection.
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:43 danke!
	12:45pm clarke: as a kid, of course, i had no idea that the british beatles albums were different than the US releases.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "gods light" by "smirk" very fine!!
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: ↳ Song: "gods light" by "smirk" I like the jangle on this!
	♥ 12:46pm G: ↳ McGroovey @12:26 Was in the far-western part of the Upper Peninsula for a few days a couple years back, in a rented house fronting the Lake. One thing you notice is how many zillions of stars you can see at night. Living mainly in and near large cities almost all my life, normally you are lucky if you can make out a few dozen of the brightest stars.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:46 i like this album, but it is a strange step BACK as far as development goes - has me wondering if it was done before the last one
	♥ 12:47pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @12:46 yeah, I've been sleeping on this record! Bad job by me.
	♥ 12:47pm Karl Ward: I am sorry I am late but I brought vinyl-themed bon bons
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ G @12:46 hah, i looked at the sky just last night, here - one star.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @12:47 leave the bon bons
	♥ 12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:48 Is that your review?
	12:50pm clarke: The Church is 'essentially' now a kilby solo project - everyone else left.
	12:50pm Pax: ↳ G @12:43 Idk, I've always understood it to be that winter stays in the early spring and starts early in late autumn. Making summer seem Short.
	♥ 12:50pm G: ↳ clarke @12:48 Yuyp. In urban New Orleans, maybe you can make out Orion, Sirius, a planet or two if you know where to look for them... It was even worse in NYC, London, Sao Paulo, etc.
	♥ 12:51pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:49 Is that the opposite of "Take the canollis!"?
	♥ 12:51pm Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "ascendance" by "the church" Great show at Asbury Lanes a few weeks back.
	♥ 12:51pm Karl Ward: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 "Bon bons were mostly Bowie-themed and it wasn't even the good Bowie albums, it was stuff like Lodger and Low." --a different review
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ G @12:50 i dunno bout those other places but there always seems to be a cloud cover here at night. even on clear days.
	♥ 12:52pm G: ↳ Pax @12:50 I lived in southeast Michigan for years, not in the U.P. Even in SE Michigan, you were lucky if you ever saw the ground from Nov through early April. But they did have definite spring and fall seasons.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Gregolomania @12:51 so was kilby the only original member??
	12:53pm morphe': ↳ G @12:50 NYC Stars and Planets ... born here '61 ... can see more now than then .. like the Hudson and East River .. actually cleaner than the '50s-'60s -'70s
	♥ 12:53pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "crystal" by "new order" I'll say it before anyone else: Banger
	♥ 12:54pm Gregolomania: ↳ clarke @12:52 Yep. Peter Koppes left most recently.
	♥ 12:54pm G: ↳ clarke @12:52 Oh, here in Irish Channel NOLA I see a few stars and planets some nights. Definitely not others haha
	♥ 12:54pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Gregolomania @12:51 Gregolomania: I was thinking about going to a show there in July. But I'm trying to work out the mass transit situation and it's not looking good. How was the venue? I've never been there.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:53 good day, sir!
	♥ 12:54pm Hughie Considine: Afternoon, Clarke!
	♥ 12:54pm McGroovey: Get Ready was the last New Order album that really grabbed me.
	♥ 12:54pm efd: ↳ Song: "crystal" by "new order" sometimes I think I'm the only one who likes this album
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 nobility amongst us!!~
	♥ 12:55pm Karl Ward: ↳ efd @12:54 I was so excited when this album came out!
	12:55pm morphe': In the West of Ireland on clear night is incredible .... was telling a city visitor that the straight trajectory moving objects were satellites ... they did not believe me ... had to prove it via the internets.....
	♥ 12:55pm Hughie Considine: It came out soon after 9/11 and was the first record that I got excited about in the wake of all that.
	♥ 12:55pm tim from washington: ↳ McGroovey @12:54 I like this. Get Ready completely passed me by. Peter Hook is still on this?
	♥ 12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:55 where? where?
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:55 i remember The Clientele had a rather soothing release around this time.
	♥ 12:57pm Gregolomania: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:54 It's....interesting. It really is a converted bowing alley. But it works & sounds good. Couple of blocks from the Stone Pony, not sure how close to the trains that is. Easy parking tho, at least in April.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:56 now, i was going to say it was their first, ha ha, but carmichael might come down on my ass. ha ha
	♥ 12:57pm JW MCCORMACK: Thrilled to hear this song, I remember the whole mood when Get Ready came out. But one thing has always bothered me: "Here comes love/ it's like honey/ you can't buy it with money." Honey is purchasable with legal tender, what's up with that simile?
	♥ 12:57pm McGroovey: ↳ tim from washington @12:55 Yes
	♥ 12:58pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Gregolomania @12:57 Thanks. I won't be parking, as I have nothing to park. :)
	♥ 12:58pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:56 ah yes...sometimes all I can stand to listen to is the Clientele.
	12:59pm morphe': efd: ↳ Song: "crystal" by "new order" sometimes I think I'm the only one who likes this album Do not know it but liking this cut... Only last year found out about how New Order ended on the night before US tour ... tragic tale...
	♥ 12:59pm McGroovey: ↳ JW MCCORMACK @12:57 Maybe Bernard S has beehives on his estate, and he doesn't have to pay for his honey?
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:58 bueno!
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:58 they have a new album out in july!! first song is great!
	♥ 1:00pm Gregolomania: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:58 Looks to be maybe a 15 minute walk from NJT station.
	♥ 1:00pm G: ↳ JW MCCORMACK @12:57 Maybe those are two separate comparisons in succession, not that the two items are linked to each other (i.e., yes, honey is not usually free).
	♥ 1:00pm courtneynoir: ↳ morphe' @12:59 This album is about 75% FANTASTIC, IMO
	♥ 1:00pm Hughie Considine: ↳ JW MCCORMACK @12:57 You raise a valid concern. I also value truth in lyrics. I've always had a problem with Paul Simon, who only lists about eight ways to leave your lover.
	♥ 1:01pm slocker: Always love the New Order.
	♥ 1:01pm HyperDose: Hope no one here has a nut allergy

	♥ 1:02pm McGroovey: ↳ G @1:00 Bernard S isn't the greatest lyricist ever, but not all great bands have great lyrics.
	♥ 1:03pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Gregolomania @1:00 That's not so bad. It's getting back that's the problem. I checked the train schedule. There are 2 trains going back, 1 at 9:44pm (I'd have to leave the show so early that there's no point in going), and 1 at 11:59pm. If I do that, instead of getting off in Newark and taking a bus home, I'd have to go to Penn Station NYC & end up at Port Authority at 2:30am. And trust me, you DO NOT want to be at Port Authority at that hour!
	1:03pm clarke: there may be fifty ways - but ONE thing is to never leave your records there!!

	♥ 1:11pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:10 recorded in B, we're really not recording in Monty anymore thankfully. Also - alert K8 to the singing woman drummer! I emailed her when we were recording but I don't know if she saw it.

	♥ 1:16pm dave miss: ↳ clarke @1:08 No big plans with Tad and Adele…
	1:16pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:15 simon is like the artist i am most disappointed with - his songwriting went downhill after S&G, imho, except for about five songs.
	♥ 1:17pm Gregolomania: ↳ nycmusicnerd @1:10 Nick's always great live, especially if he's playing with Los Straightjackets, as he's done a lot in recent years. Those guys are always a hoot!

	♥ 1:20pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @1:16 I liked his solo records - they were sort of a part of my childhood, but I agree that the quality diminished precipitously -- he seemed tapped out early.

	♥ 1:27pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @1:22 Haha...uh..no, but I've had people tell me it's actually a hidden gem. Takes all kinds. On the subject of Art, the narrator of a podcast I love is English and he pronounces Art's last name as Gar-FOONK-al. I'm like, whaa?? The emphasis has to be on the first GAR, right? It's like saying, Bruce SpringSTEEN.

	♥ 1:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "selkie" by "special friend" I feel like selkies are having a moment, but I am also completely sure this is selection bias on my part based on my own idiosyncratic cultural interactions. I think that captures my feelings on the matter.

	2:01pm clarke: maybe they are playing at a dental office?
	♥ 2:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "selkie" by "special friend" I think this review, which I recently read, is one reason selkies seem large in my selection bias: strangehorizons.com... See paragraph 3 and on for a take on selkies.
	♥ 2:02pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:01 Also see the movie The Secret of Roan Inish.

	♥ 2:04pm efd: ↳ iiibeat @1:58 ok, per Ben the original Richmond venue just fell through in the last couple of days! He suggests checking the Sacred Bones tour page and/or follow them on Instagram for further updates.
	2:05pm clarke: ↳ efd @2:04 this is just one of many recent cancellations i have heard about lately - bummer!
	2:06pm clarke: i guess venues are in turmoil post-pandemic? seems like it would be the opposite??
	♥ 2:07pm Figgsrock: EFD--I just saw Michael Azerrad tweeted about how great this Lloyd album is. And this track has me excited.
	♥ 2:09pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @2:05 yeah, these last-minute venue cancellations are becoming too frequent. our tour booking agent is pulling his hair out on the daily over this sort of shit.
	2:09pm clarke: i'm not sure if i love the new lloyd cole - but it is definitely okay. but.. side two of Don't Get Weird On Me might be one of the best sides EVER!!

	♥ 2:46pm Figgsrock: ↳ clarke @2:44 Ah. I haven't seen him in person in a few years, but have kept in touch by -- of all things -- posting on his English Premiere League posts on Facebook.
	♥ 2:47pm love2laf: Nicely chosen efd, appreciate you sharing both Canadian men. Randy is very much alive and reunited with his stolen guitar after decades.
	2:47pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:46 cool!! huge liverpool reds fan, here. but, didn't do any chat.
	2:48pm clarke: ↳ love2laf @2:47 cool! (i should never play the game dead or alive with anyone)
	♥ 2:48pm Figgsrock: ↳ Song: "ride ride ride" by "foghat" Cherry Red has no bounds to what they'll reissue, do they?
	2:48pm clarke: KK!! ??
	2:49pm Mattynotimes: What a great song
	♥ 2:49pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:48 not today
	2:50pm clarke: i take it no airhorn, either.
	♥ 2:50pm efd: ↳ Mattynotimes @2:49 Foghat had a lot of really good songs, as it turns out!
	2:50pm clarke: well at least we ALL have constant smiles!!
	♥ 2:51pm efd: ↳ clarke @2:50 outlook doubtful
	♥ 2:52pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @2:46 Randy has (or had) a great show on CBC Radio that was carried for a while on some NP# stations. After I moved down to NJ from Rochester, I tried to keep listening to it and other good CBC music shows, but got out of the habit.
	2:52pm clarke: i'll allow it!
	♥ 2:52pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @2:52 Randy Bachman, that is.
	2:52pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @2:52 i figured that. heh heh. fan of his playing.
	♥ 2:53pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "multi pass" by "yuppy" Bit of an Animal Collective groove, I like it
	♥ 2:53pm McGroovey: ↳ Figgsrock @2:48 As a Foghat fan, I'm confused by that question.
	2:53pm Bruce Mann: Tal-ee-z-an.l can’t type
	2:54pm clarke: i think it was more of a statement than a question.
	♥ 2:54pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "free again" by "apb" This sounds like early Joe Jackson.
	2:54pm clarke: but, i like Foghat - all.
	♥ 2:54pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @2:54 same same
	♥ 2:55pm Alvy Singer: Enjoyed the show today Evan. Lots of good stuff! Thank you.
	2:55pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @2:54 hey, remember that 'new wave' album Foghat put out: Tight Shoes?? love that.
	♥ 2:55pm Carmichael: ↳ Song: "down and out man" by "bachman-turner overdrive" Turns out there's only 1 Bachman left, Randy. Also, big Foghat fan here. Savoy Brown as well.
	♥ 2:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, efd! Smiles were just about constant through the whole show!
	♥ 2:56pm radioronan: Thanks Evan..cheers y'all!
	♥ 2:56pm sydnius: confess? hah!
	♥ 2:56pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks efd! Great show. And thanks for ending with Gordon Lightfoot. RIP
	2:56pm Mattynotimes: Gordon lightfoot ❤️
	2:56pm clarke: there's so much MORE to gordon than the hits!!
	2:56pm misterdavid: Great show, thanks for playing this enigmatic masterpiece
	♥ 2:56pm Figgsrock: ↳ McGroovey @2:53 It just seems like Foghat is a bit out of their normal reissue lane, you know? (This is coming from a guy that owns that old Foghat best of.)
	♥ 2:56pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "sundown" by "gordon lightfoot" perfect bookend to a great show. thanks evan!
	2:56pm LolaLaRue: <3
	♥ 2:57pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "sundown" by "gordon lightfoot" This song has always creeped me out. It's never been a favorite.
	♥ 2:57pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks for a fabulous show, EFD! Hope to see some of you at Union Pool tonight!
	2:57pm Andres: Great opener and closer and everything in between. Thanks, efd!
	♥ 2:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great show & set, EFD. Thanks for the Gordy bookends!
	♥ 2:57pm Figgsrock: How often does the EFD show end with a number-one pop hit?
	♥ 2:57pm winston legthigh: ↳ Song: "sundown" by "gordon lightfoot" take care gordon, rip. thanks efd. later!
	♥ 2:57pm Karl Ward: ↳ McGroovey @2:57 I like it in part because it's creepy
	2:57pm Stevel: Thank you efd! Always great.
	♥ 2:58pm steveo: Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again
	2:58pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "sundown" by "gordon lightfoot" Nate K played this song on April 7. Scott Walker version. (Of course it was terrific) RIP
	2:58pm clarke: thanks EFD!!! dynOmite!! RIP Tim B and Gordon L thanks Constant Smiles!!
	♥ 2:58pm Carmichael: Oh, quick Randy Bachman story. He is known as a Gretsch collector and expert advisor. I have a '69 RoJet that was apparently stolen at one point. He reviewed my photos and replied with detailed information on my make and model, and hwere to get spare parts. And I didn't even know the guy! Expert help to a complete stranger ...
	♥ 2:58pm love2laf: Nicely chosen, thank you efd. Happy Wednesday to all, we all have constant smiles now.
	♥ 2:58pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "sundown" by "gordon lightfoot" There's a Canadian band called Whitehorse that does a really good cover of this.
	♥ 2:59pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @2:58 *RocJet
	♥ 2:59pm McGroovey: ↳ Figgsrock @2:56 I mean, yeah, it's not '70s/'80s cool UK music, which for me is what I first became aware of Cherry Red for, true.
	♥ 3:00pm HyperDose: Thanks Evan. Killer live set!
	3:00pm Erella: Love this. www.fyimusicnews.ca...
	♥ 3:02pm DjLorraine: TY EFD

	12:04pm clarke: ↳ Song: "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald" by "gordon li... i once saw NRBQ cover this - not so reverently, ha ha. but, i always dig the pedal steel technics goin' on.

	12:05pm UncleHeavy: Ahh the unofficial anthem of my home state ❤️✋ RIP
	♥ 12:05pm Pedro in Arlington: I thought NRBQ wrote "Edmund Fitzgerald." youtu.be...
	♥ 12:05pm love2laf: Man oh man, thank you efd. Crying yet again. I live an hour away from Gordon Lightfoot's hometown, and feeling pretty gutted. He had a good long life, and left us a wealth of music, but still feels like not enough.
	♥ 12:05pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 12:05pm Carmichael: Heya Evan and mourners. You wasted no time with this tribute.
	♥ 12:06pm Handy Haversack: There's often a cool moment in the spring after the ice melts off Lake Michigan (et al.) and before the algae bloom where the waters are perfectly clear and from the air you can see the wrecked ships on the bottom. I saw a great exhibit on it in the Ludington, MI, Maritime Museum.
	12:06pm Eugene R.: More like the wreck of the Lightfoot Listeners. <sob, sob, sob>
	♥ 12:06pm Gregolomania: We can still slip away on the Carefree Highway.
	♥ 12:06pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @12:05 well, it's not a full-on trib. Maybe one more song later.
	12:06pm Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:05 It won’t let me read
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Song: "wait too long" by "eastern bloc" wow - been a minute since i heard this!
	12:07pm BillfromRockTavern: I'm getting teary eyed listening to this, especially that I read the hall he sings about in the song will ring bells in his honor
	♥ 12:08pm JetBoy of Astoria: Hello E"F"D and all!
	♥ 12:08pm tim from washington: About 15 years ago I was at my regular bar the same evening as Gordon Lightfoot was playing in town. Around 9:30 a disparate group of bar regulars rolled in super hyped on seeing Gordon Lightfoot. I basked in their glory. Their enthusiasm was actually touching.
	12:08pm Andres: Good aft, efd and all. That same church bell in Detroit tolled 30 times the other day. 29 times for the crew and once for Gordon Lightfoot. He leaves behind an incredible legacy.
	♥ 12:08pm xtrakrispy: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:The Headstones covering Edmund Fitzgerald. youtu.be...
	♥ 12:08pm McGroovey: More Gord!
	12:09pm clarke: Scrapple Is Back!!!
	♥ 12:09pm JetBoy of Astoria: THis eastern bloc song sounds a lot like the paul westerberg solo stuff but it's from 1987 - beat paul to the low point of his career by like 25 years!
	♥ 12:09pm tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:06 Handy, I did not know that! That's amazing. This is why you are Pure Michigan through and through!
	12:10pm Pax: it's time for the Evan,"the Funk",and the Davies Show:
	12:10pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:06 pure!
	♥ 12:10pm Carmichael: ↳ efd @12:06 You haved enough material for a 3 hour tribute. Sometimes less is better.
	12:11pm clarke: ↳ Song: "empty sky" by "elton john" good album!
	♥ 12:11pm McGroovey: ↳ mrdonutsu @12:03 Perhaps that circumstance helped give it the storytelling feel it has.
	♥ 12:11pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ xtrakrispy @12:08 Really good. Thanks.
	12:12pm Mister Dobalina: Cool track!
	♥ 12:12pm Baja Joe: ↳ Song: "empty sky" by "elton john" Greetings EFD. Now that's some good EJ the DJ stuff
	♥ 12:12pm efd: ↳ Carmichael @12:10 i'm just not well-versed enough in his catalog. All I really know are the hits.
	♥ 12:13pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:06 There are about 20 Lake Huron wrecks you can tour (by SCUBA or just boat ride) around Tobermory on the Bruce Peninsula. Need to get on that some day.
	12:13pm clarke: ↳ efd @12:12 ALL gordon's folky stuff on United Artists is a treasure!
	♥ 12:14pm nycmusicnerd: Greetings fellow nerds...DAMMIT I MISSED GORDON LIGHTFOOT!!
	♥ 12:14pm tim from washington: Hey NYC!
	♥ 12:15pm Evan from Westfield: EFD, that was a hilarious edition of Pop Rocks this morning on Wake
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bryant in TO @12:13 Oooo, cool!
	♥ 12:15pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "empty sky" by "elton john" Double shot with "Empty Garden"?
	♥ 12:15pm McGroovey: The '60s records are solidly great. The '70s records that had the US hits are less compelling; in between the great and well-know songs, there are boring, uncompelling one.
	♥ 12:15pm tim from washington: The only Beck album I've spent any time with is Sea Change. I mainly liked it because I thought it sounded like Gordon Lightfoot.
	♥ 12:15pm Handy Haversack: Dark Night Julie is an Elton John font, that's for sure.
	♥ 12:16pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @12:15 (referring to Gordon Lightfoot, in case it wasn't clear)
	♥ 12:16pm nycmusicnerd: I was lucky enough to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert a few years ago. While introducing "Edmund Fitzgerald", he shared that he's stayed in touch with the families over the years and that they really appreciated the attention he brought to the disaster. Then he said something else that was chilling: To this day, no trace of the bodies of those that died has ever been recovered.
	♥ 12:16pm HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:15 She's definitely in cahoots with big Elton corp!
	♥ 12:17pm Baja Joe: ↳ tim from washington @12:15 Is that Beck release terrific, or what? Love it myself.
	♥ 12:17pm efd: ↳ Evan from Westfield @12:15 ha, glad you enjoyed it Evan
	12:17pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:15 that is weird, because i just pulled out Sea Change the other day - and while i don't get a GL vibe, i certainly think that album and a more recent acoustic one are beck's best.
	♥ 12:18pm Pedro in Arlington: Available on several streaming platforms and quite good and recent. Even has a picture of Gord and Harry Belafonte. www.imdb.com...
	♥ 12:18pm tim from washington: ↳ Baja Joe @12:17 Yeah, that was really the only Beck I ever got into. I don't dilike him but never really paid attention. I liked the mellow vibe of Sea Change all the way through. Easy on the ears. :)
	♥ 12:19pm Hoboken Jack: Hello EFD, McGroove, Tim from WA, Handy, Bagpipe orchestrating a drone strike, Clarke, NYCMnerd, HyperD, Prof, everybody!
	12:19pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:18 Morning ______ is pretty good, as well.
	♥ 12:19pm Bryant in TO: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:16 Man, that is chilling. Makes "the lake, it is said, never gives up her dead" hit that much harder
	♥ 12:19pm Carmichael: ↳ tim from washington @12:18 Beck was on ... Kimmel? ... last night, with a band or guy named Gorillaz. It was a low key affair.
	♥ 12:20pm steveo: As an artificial intelligence language model, I do not have personal beliefs or experiences. However, I can provide information on what crab butter is.
	♥ 12:20pm tim from washington: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:16 That's a gret story, NYC!
	♥ 12:20pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Bryant in TO @12:19 Yeah. I didn't even realize it was a true story until he mentioned it at the concert.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:19 Morning Phase - very good.
	♥ 12:21pm McGroovey: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:16 Lake Superior is deep, and the areas of Michigan and Ontario that make up most of its shores are pretty wild.
	♥ 12:21pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "breaking the rules" by "mamma tried" At Jack's Music Shoppe on Saturday, omnipresent Judy pointed out a guitar that a Mamma Tried member sold to the store, evidently Springsteen had played it onstage with them.
	♥ 12:22pm McGroovey: ↳ steveo @12:20 Hello, Mr Robot. Tell us about crab butter!
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:21 as i have opined, here, before: would love to go to the Upper Peninsula sometime (not in winter)
	♥ 12:22pm RevWaldo: ↳ Song: "the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald" by "gordon li... Top 5 songs about death - Bastard, that's so good it should've been mine. RIP
	♥ 12:22pm efd: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:21 whoa!! Omnipresent and omniscient as well, apparently!
	♥ 12:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:19 Hey, Jack! BP is always "breaking the rules"!
	♥ 12:22pm JetBoy of Astoria: ↳ clarke @12:22 UP skiing is pretty good though
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:21 mornin' jaaack
	12:23pm clapper: Shakane!!!! Yesssss!!!!! How u know these lads???
	♥ 12:23pm prof.fuzz: jack!!!! clarkEEEEEEEEE!!!!
	12:23pm clarke: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @12:22 it might be - for a skier, ha ha
	12:23pm Pax: I bet that DN Julie never neglects to always refers to him as Sir Elton John.
	12:24pm clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	♥ 12:24pm mrdonutsu: ↳ McGroovey @12:11 Indeed. I don't think Steely Dan could have pulled it off — even with 10,000 coked-out takes of the final fadeout.
	♥ 12:25pm JetBoy of Astoria: ↳ clarke @12:23 Well, yeah, I guess that's true.
	12:25pm clarke: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" yesssss!!!
	♥ 12:25pm prof.fuzz: we got to spend a lovely afternoon on the lake superior shore in duluth a few years ago, killing time before a gig at a barber shop in superior WI later that night. beautiful...
	♥ 12:25pm JetBoy of Astoria: ↳ clarke @12:25 I second that!
	♥ 12:25pm James in ATL: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" Always great to hear Cheap Trick! Great cover!
	♥ 12:26pm tim from washington: ↳ clarke @12:22 You could go up to da UP and hang out at deer camp like Da Yoopers.
	12:26pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:25 had no idea ya'll did quartet singing!
	♥ 12:26pm Carmichael: ↳ James in ATL @12:25 Produced by .....
	♥ 12:26pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:22 I've never been there. I've actually only been in the southern tier of Michigan a couple times, to visit friends in SW Michigan. I'd love to do a trip around all the Great Lakes some time--skipping Lake Michigan, since I've seen it enough, and it's kinda boring. And Lake Erie is kinda boring. I grew up on the shores of Lake Ontario, so I know it well, but it's less boring. OK, actually, I want to go around Lake Superior and Lake Huron the most.
	♥ 12:26pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" Gotta say I prefer the original, but kudos for them covering.
	♥ 12:26pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "dancing the night away" by "cheap trick" Todd Rundgren produced this album and you can really tell.
	12:26pm clarke: todd
	♥ 12:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:26 we're pretty good at it... for a trio!
	♥ 12:27pm MarciB: At first I thought this was Sparks lol
	♥ 12:27pm McGroovey: ↳ MarciB @12:27 I thought that also. It does have that Todd-Rundgren-meets-Sparks thing.
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @12:26 i wouldn't say the western michigan shore of Lake Michigan was boring - lotsa nice beach communities and galleries and such. (leland area, etc)
	♥ 12:28pm Gregolomania: ↳ Jack McGuire @12:26 CT always had great taste in covers. Who else did covers of The Move?
	♥ 12:28pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:28 Beaches are boring. I want to see weird nature.
	12:29pm clarke: did you go to Leland? that beach reminded me of cape cod, actually.
	♥ 12:29pm tim from washington: ↳ McGroovey @12:28 Them's fightin' word, bub! Michigan Lake Michigan beaches are the greatest beaches in the world!
	12:31pm clarke: dont git timothy all riled up!!
	♥ 12:31pm McGroovey: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 I'm sure they are, but a beach is a beach. We have no shortage of beaches in the NYC area.
	♥ 12:31pm Carmichael: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 HA HA, they beat California beaches all to hell!
	♥ 12:32pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 They might be great, but they're not weird. McGroovey wants WEIRD.
	12:32pm clarke: i listened to Next Positon Please a LOT!!
	♥ 12:32pm Jack McGuire: McMasters
	12:34pm clarke: wow, you alphabetized your singles.
	♥ 12:34pm steveo: ↳ steveo @12:20 I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I'm not aware of any commercially available "artificial crab butter".
	12:35pm clarke: elton's first full album was Tumbleweed Connection, i believe
	♥ 12:35pm McGroovey: Next Position Please wasn't a hit, and had no real hit single. I like the album a lot, but I'll admit that I bought it because it's really a Todd Rundgren album. From the Rolling Stones review: A better title for this one would have been Next Producer Please, because from the signature harmonies of "I Can't Take It" to the predictable chorus of "Heaven's Falling," it's clear that this album belongs as much to producer Todd Rundgren
	♥ 12:36pm tim from washington: ↳ McGroovey @12:31 I got your weird beach right here, pal! ;)
	♥ 12:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @12:29 Gonna have to side with Purity here.

	12:37pm clarke: i saw the Trick on this tour (well, have seen them a lot) and with jon brandt on bass, they were still great! also had a keyboard player on this tour.
	♥ 12:37pm Aaron Working In Newark: Good afternoon Evan
	♥ 12:38pm Bryant in TO: We lost Gordon Pinsent in February, too! More needs to be done to safeguard Canada's Gord supply!
	♥ 12:39pm tim from washington: I did see Cheap Trick once at a park next to a beach in St Joseph, MI.
	12:39pm clarke: pure!!!
	♥ 12:39pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "wait too long" by "eastern bloc" Looks like George Usher or Vinny DeNunzio could connect you easily with Sidgwick.
	12:39pm Pax: It's cold around the Great lakes, Excluding Chicago there isn't a large population of people that don't live there, especially on the east coast of the lakes where it's the coldest.
	♥ 12:39pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:35 Tumbleweed Connection was EJ's 3rd album. the 1st US release was Elton John, followed by Tumbleweed Connection. Empty Sky wasn't released in the US until '75..
	♥ 12:40pm Handy Haversack: This is brilliant. Well done, Pensacola Blue Waves(?) media team!
	♥ 12:40pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @12:37 Who plays drums for them now?
	12:40pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @12:39 yes but what was the order in UK??
	♥ 12:40pm slocker: That's a good one

	♥ 12:43pm G: ↳ Pax @12:39 It's fine in spring/summer/fall. My parents rented a house along the Lake (across a small shore road, maybe 22), so we spent several vacations there. Not far from Sleeping Bear Dunes.

	12:45pm clarke: as a kid, of course, i had no idea that the british beatles albums were different than the US releases.
	12:45pm clarke: ↳ Song: "gods light" by "smirk" very fine!!
	♥ 12:46pm tim from washington: ↳ Song: "gods light" by "smirk" I like the jangle on this!
	♥ 12:46pm G: ↳ McGroovey @12:26 Was in the far-western part of the Upper Peninsula for a few days a couple years back, in a rented house fronting the Lake. One thing you notice is how many zillions of stars you can see at night. Living mainly in and near large cities almost all my life, normally you are lucky if you can make out a few dozen of the brightest stars.
	12:47pm clarke: ↳ tim from washington @12:46 i like this album, but it is a strange step BACK as far as development goes - has me wondering if it was done before the last one
	♥ 12:47pm efd: ↳ tim from washington @12:46 yeah, I've been sleeping on this record! Bad job by me.
	♥ 12:47pm Karl Ward: I am sorry I am late but I brought vinyl-themed bon bons
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ G @12:46 hah, i looked at the sky just last night, here - one star.
	12:49pm clarke: ↳ Karl Ward @12:47 leave the bon bons
	♥ 12:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @12:48 Is that your review?
	12:50pm clarke: The Church is 'essentially' now a kilby solo project - everyone else left.
	12:50pm Pax: ↳ G @12:43 Idk, I've always understood it to be that winter stays in the early spring and starts early in late autumn. Making summer seem Short.
	♥ 12:50pm G: ↳ clarke @12:48 Yuyp. In urban New Orleans, maybe you can make out Orion, Sirius, a planet or two if you know where to look for them... It was even worse in NYC, London, Sao Paulo, etc.
	♥ 12:51pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @12:49 Is that the opposite of "Take the canollis!"?
	♥ 12:51pm Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "ascendance" by "the church" Great show at Asbury Lanes a few weeks back.
	♥ 12:51pm Karl Ward: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:50 "Bon bons were mostly Bowie-themed and it wasn't even the good Bowie albums, it was stuff like Lodger and Low." --a different review
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ G @12:50 i dunno bout those other places but there always seems to be a cloud cover here at night. even on clear days.
	♥ 12:52pm G: ↳ Pax @12:50 I lived in southeast Michigan for years, not in the U.P. Even in SE Michigan, you were lucky if you ever saw the ground from Nov through early April. But they did have definite spring and fall seasons.
	12:52pm clarke: ↳ Gregolomania @12:51 so was kilby the only original member??
	12:53pm morphe': ↳ G @12:50 NYC Stars and Planets ... born here '61 ... can see more now than then .. like the Hudson and East River .. actually cleaner than the '50s-'60s -'70s

	♥ 12:54pm Gregolomania: ↳ clarke @12:52 Yep. Peter Koppes left most recently.
	♥ 12:54pm G: ↳ clarke @12:52 Oh, here in Irish Channel NOLA I see a few stars and planets some nights. Definitely not others haha
	♥ 12:54pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Gregolomania @12:51 Gregolomania: I was thinking about going to a show there in July. But I'm trying to work out the mass transit situation and it's not looking good. How was the venue? I've never been there.
	12:54pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:53 good day, sir!
	♥ 12:54pm Hughie Considine: Afternoon, Clarke!
	♥ 12:54pm McGroovey: Get Ready was the last New Order album that really grabbed me.
	♥ 12:54pm efd: ↳ Song: "crystal" by "new order" sometimes I think I'm the only one who likes this album
	12:55pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:54 nobility amongst us!!~
	♥ 12:55pm Karl Ward: ↳ efd @12:54 I was so excited when this album came out!
	12:55pm morphe': In the West of Ireland on clear night is incredible .... was telling a city visitor that the straight trajectory moving objects were satellites ... they did not believe me ... had to prove it via the internets.....
	♥ 12:55pm Hughie Considine: It came out soon after 9/11 and was the first record that I got excited about in the wake of all that.
	♥ 12:55pm tim from washington: ↳ McGroovey @12:54 I like this. Get Ready completely passed me by. Peter Hook is still on this?
	♥ 12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:55 where? where?
	12:56pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:55 i remember The Clientele had a rather soothing release around this time.
	♥ 12:57pm Gregolomania: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:54 It's....interesting. It really is a converted bowing alley. But it works & sounds good. Couple of blocks from the Stone Pony, not sure how close to the trains that is. Easy parking tho, at least in April.
	12:57pm clarke: ↳ clarke @12:56 now, i was going to say it was their first, ha ha, but carmichael might come down on my ass. ha ha
	♥ 12:57pm JW MCCORMACK: Thrilled to hear this song, I remember the whole mood when Get Ready came out. But one thing has always bothered me: "Here comes love/ it's like honey/ you can't buy it with money." Honey is purchasable with legal tender, what's up with that simile?
	♥ 12:57pm McGroovey: ↳ tim from washington @12:55 Yes
	♥ 12:58pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Gregolomania @12:57 Thanks. I won't be parking, as I have nothing to park. :)
	♥ 12:58pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @12:56 ah yes...sometimes all I can stand to listen to is the Clientele.
	12:59pm morphe': efd: ↳ Song: "crystal" by "new order" sometimes I think I'm the only one who likes this album Do not know it but liking this cut... Only last year found out about how New Order ended on the night before US tour ... tragic tale...
	♥ 12:59pm McGroovey: ↳ JW MCCORMACK @12:57 Maybe Bernard S has beehives on his estate, and he doesn't have to pay for his honey?
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:58 bueno!
	12:59pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:58 they have a new album out in july!! first song is great!
	♥ 1:00pm Gregolomania: ↳ nycmusicnerd @12:58 Looks to be maybe a 15 minute walk from NJT station.
	♥ 1:00pm G: ↳ JW MCCORMACK @12:57 Maybe those are two separate comparisons in succession, not that the two items are linked to each other (i.e., yes, honey is not usually free).
	♥ 1:00pm courtneynoir: ↳ morphe' @12:59 This album is about 75% FANTASTIC, IMO
	♥ 1:00pm Hughie Considine: ↳ JW MCCORMACK @12:57 You raise a valid concern. I also value truth in lyrics. I've always had a problem with Paul Simon, who only lists about eight ways to leave your lover.
	♥ 1:01pm slocker: Always love the New Order.
	♥ 1:01pm HyperDose: Hope no one here has a nut allergy
	1:01pm clarke: that mf'r!
	♥ 1:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:00 math is hard

	♥ 1:02pm steveo: there must be fifty, just don't ask me what they all are
	♥ 1:02pm McGroovey: ↳ G @1:00 Bernard S isn't the greatest lyricist ever, but not all great bands have great lyrics.
	♥ 1:03pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Gregolomania @1:00 That's not so bad. It's getting back that's the problem. I checked the train schedule. There are 2 trains going back, 1 at 9:44pm (I'd have to leave the show so early that there's no point in going), and 1 at 11:59pm. If I do that, instead of getting off in Newark and taking a bus home, I'd have to go to Penn Station NYC & end up at Port Authority at 2:30am. And trust me, you DO NOT want to be at Port Authority at that hour!
	1:03pm clarke: there may be fifty ways - but ONE thing is to never leave your records there!!
	♥ 1:03pm RevWaldo: ↳ Song: "crystal" by "new order" Anyone else reminded of The One Thing by INXS?
	♥ 1:03pm courtneynoir: ↳ McGroovey @1:02 yes, we ARE talking about the dude who, in another song, sang "Tonight I should have stayed at home/playing with my pleasure zone"
	1:04pm morphe': Errata: .. was earlier thinking of Ia Curtis ... It has been 42 years since Ian Curtis, the lead singer of the legendary post-punk rock band Joy Division,
	♥ 1:04pm Gregolomania: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:00 So he's still holding out on us..🤔
	♥ 1:04pm G: ↳ clarke @1:03 The voice of sad experience?!?!?

	1:06pm clarke: ↳ dave miss @1:05 hello david!
	♥ 1:06pm Karl Ward: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:00 Some of Simon's discarded lines: "Say mean stuff on the web, Webb / Don't need to be amusing, Su Ling / Sell the house for spite, Mike / Throw the TV in the pool, Jules / Just get yourself free"
	♥ 1:06pm dave miss: Hey Clarke!
	♥ 1:07pm Gregolomania: ↳ nycmusicnerd @1:03 Yeah, Shore Line of NJT is kinda sketchy, tho they might have more service in the Summer. And indeed, I've done enough Port Authority late nights for this life.
	1:08pm clarke: ↳ dave miss @1:06 what's yer summer look like?
	♥ 1:09pm tim from washington: Sounding really good, efd!

	♥ 1:10pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Gregolomania @1:07 sigh I know I'll have more opportunities to see Nick Lowe this summer. I was just hoping to see him headline.
	1:10pm clarke: real good mix goin' on here!! (EFD - when did you leave to open the door for todd?)
	♥ 1:10pm McGroovey: ↳ Karl Ward @1:06 You should record that version yourself...
	♥ 1:11pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @1:10 It does sound really nice, doesn't it?
	♥ 1:11pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:10 recorded in B, we're really not recording in Monty anymore thankfully. Also - alert K8 to the singing woman drummer! I emailed her when we were recording but I don't know if she saw it.
	♥ 1:11pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Karl Ward @1:06 You, sir, are a marvel.
	♥ 1:12pm efd: ↳ clarke @1:10 shorty before we started recording this!
	1:12pm clarke: ↳ efd @1:12 ha ha ha.
	1:13pm clarke: great tones!!
	1:13pm morphe': Thanks efd and the C Smiles ... super !!!
	♥ 1:15pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @1:11 I will! I don't recall her mentioning an e-mail from you, but I guess there's a chance she kept it to herself!
	♥ 1:15pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Gregolomania @1:04 Paul and Art could reunite and record a new song incorporating the rest of the 50 ways ... it would be a huge event.
	♥ 1:16pm efd: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:15 I sent it to the C&K address, maybe she doesn't check it all the time
	♥ 1:16pm dave miss: ↳ clarke @1:08 No big plans with Tad and Adele…
	1:16pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:15 simon is like the artist i am most disappointed with - his songwriting went downhill after S&G, imho, except for about five songs.
	♥ 1:17pm Gregolomania: ↳ nycmusicnerd @1:10 Nick's always great live, especially if he's playing with Los Straightjackets, as he's done a lot in recent years. Those guys are always a hoot!
	1:17pm clarke: ↳ dave miss @1:16 are you headed to nola sometime?? or no??
	1:17pm A: I love sampling on my drum machine but I 34 and live with my ma. Suffering from mental illness.
	1:19pm ?: wow! love this
	♥ 1:20pm JetBoy of Astoria: Hey, enjoying this live set by Constant Smiles! Good stuff.
	♥ 1:20pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @1:16 I liked his solo records - they were sort of a part of my childhood, but I agree that the quality diminished precipitously -- he seemed tapped out early.
	♥ 1:21pm HyperDose: ↳ A @1:17 Sorry about mom's condition. She's lucky to have you there with her. Keep at the music. It helps
	1:21pm clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @1:20 yeah it is the strangest case - he needed artie!!!

	1:27pm clarke: real good, man!!
	♥ 1:27pm Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @1:22 Haha...uh..no, but I've had people tell me it's actually a hidden gem. Takes all kinds. On the subject of Art, the narrator of a podcast I love is English and he pronounces Art's last name as Gar-FOONK-al. I'm like, whaa?? The emphasis has to be on the first GAR, right? It's like saying, Bruce SpringSTEEN.

	♥ 1:48pm efd: ↳ slocker @1:47 much more fun to here the flailing of buttons being pressed than just dead air
	♥ 1:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "selkie" by "special friend" I feel like selkies are having a moment, but I am also completely sure this is selection bias on my part based on my own idiosyncratic cultural interactions. I think that captures my feelings on the matter.

	2:01pm clarke: maybe they are playing at a dental office?
	♥ 2:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "selkie" by "special friend" I think this review, which I recently read, is one reason selkies seem large in my selection bias: strangehorizons.com... See paragraph 3 and on for a take on selkies.

	♥ 2:09pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @2:05 yeah, these last-minute venue cancellations are becoming too frequent. our tour booking agent is pulling his hair out on the daily over this sort of shit.
	2:09pm clarke: i'm not sure if i love the new lloyd cole - but it is definitely okay. but.. side two of Don't Get Weird On Me might be one of the best sides EVER!!
	2:09pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @2:09 i bet!! it is non bueno.

	2:39pm clarke: of course, huge Gramercy Arms fan, though.

	♥ 2:43pm AnAnonymousParty: What happened to Blood, Sweat and Tears? They dried up, that's what.
	2:44pm clarke: ↳ Figgsrock @2:43 riiiight!! when dave moved to brooklyn - i kinda lost touch.

	♥ 2:52pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @2:46 Randy has (or had) a great show on CBC Radio that was carried for a while on some NP# stations. After I moved down to NJ from Rochester, I tried to keep listening to it and other good CBC music shows, but got out of the habit.
	2:52pm clarke: i'll allow it!
	♥ 2:52pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @2:52 Randy Bachman, that is.

	♥ 2:53pm McGroovey: ↳ Figgsrock @2:48 As a Foghat fan, I'm confused by that question.
	2:53pm Bruce Mann: Tal-ee-z-an.l can’t type
	2:54pm clarke: i think it was more of a statement than a question.
	♥ 2:54pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "free again" by "apb" This sounds like early Joe Jackson.
	2:54pm clarke: but, i like Foghat - all.
	♥ 2:54pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @2:54 same same
	♥ 2:55pm Alvy Singer: Enjoyed the show today Evan. Lots of good stuff! Thank you.

	2:56pm misterdavid: Great show, thanks for playing this enigmatic masterpiece
	♥ 2:56pm Figgsrock: ↳ McGroovey @2:53 It just seems like Foghat is a bit out of their normal reissue lane, you know? (This is coming from a guy that owns that old Foghat best of.)
	♥ 2:56pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "sundown" by "gordon lightfoot" perfect bookend to a great show. thanks evan!

	♥ 2:58pm Carmichael: Oh, quick Randy Bachman story. He is known as a Gretsch collector and expert advisor. I have a '69 RoJet that was apparently stolen at one point. He reviewed my photos and replied with detailed information on my make and model, and hwere to get spare parts. And I didn't even know the guy! Expert help to a complete stranger ...
	♥ 2:58pm love2laf: Nicely chosen, thank you efd. Happy Wednesday to all, we all have constant smiles now.
	♥ 2:58pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "sundown" by "gordon lightfoot" There's a Canadian band called Whitehorse that does a really good cover of this.

	♥ 2:59pm McGroovey: ↳ Figgsrock @2:56 I mean, yeah, it's not '70s/'80s cool UK music, which for me is what I first became aware of Cherry Red for, true.
