	3:58pm flashbazbo: Hi all! Make sure you wear a headband when you go out!

	4:55pm listener 126464: think i won the rocktober
	4:56pm Mr C: One hundred years from now Todd will still be jamming' on WFMU!
	4:58pm Ochre Ogre: From Wiki- ...group's appearance on the WSM program of legendary Nashville DJ, Ralph Emery, who mocked his guests throughout the interview and initially refused to play an acetate of "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere". Eventually playing the record, he dismissed it over the air and in the presence of the band as being mediocre.[30] Clearly upset by their treatment, Parsons and McGuinn would make Emery the subject of their song, "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man", which was written by the pair in London in May 1968.[31] The song appeared on the Byrds' next album, Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde
	4:59pm JakeGould: Hey Todd! May your hands always be washed!

	5:14pm Handy Haversack: This Alvvays track is super.
	5:18pm ?: Mercy.
	5:19pm Candy-O'67: Hey, Todd! I listen every week! Love your show along with so many others on WFMU. Most of my faves are in Ichiban, but I really look forward to spending Saturday afternoons on regular stream! Sorry you had technical difficulties today. Hope to hear the show you had lined up next week or soon :)
	5:20pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks Candy-O! If all goes right I might even have a couple guests on the show next week.
	5:20pm Candy-O'67: I listen to you online. I hail from ATX down South! Love the TX shoutouts today to Alejandro Escovedo and The Crack Pipes!
	5:20pm Candy-O'67: Groovy, Todd!
	5:22pm artbrau: "The Heartbeats" (texas 60s girl group) cover of Cryin' Inside is also a gem. Hova used to play it.

	3:11pm Handy Haversack: Well, screw it, Todd -- all o-phonics is great o-phonics! The tunes are kicking, the sun is shining (locally), the birds are singing, and bees are trying to have sex with them. Let it rip!

	3:58pm flashbazbo: Hi all! Make sure you wear a headband when you go out!
	4:01pm efd: @Handy honestly there should have been an honorary Todd-O-Phonic icon there too, since I bought it after hearing him play a track from it a week or two ago.

	4:55pm listener 126464: think i won the rocktober
	4:56pm Mr C: One hundred years from now Todd will still be jamming' on WFMU!
	4:58pm Ochre Ogre: From Wiki- ...group's appearance on the WSM program of legendary Nashville DJ, Ralph Emery, who mocked his guests throughout the interview and initially refused to play an acetate of "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere". Eventually playing the record, he dismissed it over the air and in the presence of the band as being mediocre.[30] Clearly upset by their treatment, Parsons and McGuinn would make Emery the subject of their song, "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man", which was written by the pair in London in May 1968.[31] The song appeared on the Byrds' next album, Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde
