	3:10pm ncjay: goodness, this is 22 minutes long
	3:11pm djsheilab: ncjay—I've never played anywhere near this long a song before! Even in my own life, let alone on the radio. But isn't it magical?
	3:11pm ncjay: it is indeed :)
	3:11pm djsheilab: michael z + slugluv1313—Delighted you're feeling it!
	3:12pm slugluv1313: YES! 22 minutes long but every second is exquisite :)
	3:12pm artbrau: Good day, everyone, whatever your TZ! I'm excited to listen with you all in real time for a change.
	3:12pm Hughie Considine: Officially longer than "Thick as a Brick" side 1.
	3:12pm Vanessa Tara: i remember prefab from when i was in junior high
	3:12pm djsheilab: Hey artbrau! Happy you're here in real time.
	3:13pm Cooh John: Hello Sheila, DjLorraine, and all my fellow sophisticates. IT'S FRIDAY!
	3:13pm P-90: Prefab Greetings!
	3:13pm djsheilab: Hello Hughie Considine, Vanessa Tara, JohnEBGood, Cooh John, P-90, + Buck Fiden!
	3:15pm artbrau: and just this minute, sheilab, I got a text from the USPS that your package has been delivered. Weird. Better grab it before the porch pirates do.
	3:16pm Monica: yo yo yo, mizz sheila. fab tunes for a frosty day.
	3:16pm Jett: Cold enough for you today??? Hope all is well. @djsheilab I'm doing okay, trying to stay out of the cccold. My best to Alvy Singer.
	3:16pm djsheilab: artbrau—Will do after my show!
	3:16pm listener james from westwood: What an odd story behind this song and the choice of narrator; had no idea!
	3:17pm rita popova: this is truly incredible stuff
	3:17pm Vanessa Tara: a stockbroker? maybe a career change?
	3:18pm djsheilab: Thanks Monica! Keeping us all warm with this one.
	3:18pm djsheilab: Hey Jett!
	3:19pm djsheilab: Her voice reminds me of the female lead character in David Mamet's "House of Games." Warm yet cold in its precision.
	3:19pm mmeghan: love this song. think you've played it once before sheila. such amazing poetry
	3:20pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—I wonder which other stockbrokers are on record?
	3:20pm djsheilab: mmeghan—First time, but I'm glad you're enjoying!
	3:20pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hi Sheila great opening love it
	3:20pm WM: TBH I think the lyrics and music of The Shangri-Las are more insightful and emotionally moving than what you are currently playing.
	3:20pm djsheilab: Thank you Danny in Poughkeepsie!
	3:21pm winston legthigh: djsheilab take me away! good afternoon sophisticates.
	3:22pm goes211: Boom Boom coming in heavy! Sounding great!
	3:22pm βrian: Oh this is a lovely piece to fall into!
	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Mary Wing played in May. It was not, I should stress, the 3OAK for that episode.
	3:22pm Stephanie: Keeping us warm and giving us shivers all at the same time!
	3:22pm Michael 98145: { i could make a joke about hedge fund pirates becoming blues singers ... but i won't }
	3:22pm djsheilab: WM—Yes, the Shangri Las' intention was to move emotions. Not so with this one! at least not in the same way.
	3:22pm WM: Thanks for mentioning David Mamet's House of Games, a favorite film of mine.
	3:23pm Peter in SEA: Early release Friday at the old Schoolhouse :-)! And now Sophisticated Sounds! :-)
	3:23pm βrian: Just surprised the little human with hot cocoa. Rich, dark, and spiced with cayenne and cinnamon.
	3:24pm michael z: More than amazing. This is sublime.
	3:24pm Mike W: it’s even longer! the killer edge of early-’00s pop style
	3:24pm slugluv1313: reading the lyrics (again) -- recalling that these "mere words," strung together so beautifully, were what had me transfixed the first time i heard this (@Handy -- maybe on Mary Wing's show? i know it was here on WFMU!)
	3:25pm goat bruh: I love you all
	3:25pm LouV: this song is so beautiful, what an open to the show.
	3:26pm listener james from westwood: Daaaaamn, what a segue.
	3:26pm Vanessa Tara: @sheila ... attila? ;)
	3:26pm Michael 98145: yes
	3:26pm Cheek!: This isn’t the Shangri-Las!
	3:26pm The Oscar: Busy working, but WOWOWOW Agnetha covering Shangri-Las!!
	3:26pm djsheilab: Hey winston legthigh, goes211, Brian, Stephanie + goat bruh!
	3:27pm Guido from Cologne: This is a Shangri Las' song isn't it?
	3:27pm Vanessa Tara: what is this song (shangri-las) about?
	3:27pm djsheilab: Thank you LouV + listener james from westwood!
	3:28pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:29pm JohnEBGood: OK I got djsheila back. Peace 🎹
	3:30pm Jett: Agnetha, who I happen to love a lot, just doesn't deliver it with the same emotion as Mary Weiss does. I'll stick to the Shangri-las version.
	3:31pm Mike W: Geographic North’s releases all have a certain vibe about them, a life-improving vibe
	3:31pm The Oscar: One time I was out for dinner with a group of friends (all past and present record store clerks), and this moody semi-spoken piece was playing, and we were all going crazy trying to figure out what it was-- it sounded like Bat For Lashes, but more creepy and dissonant. Eventually we realized we were hearing two songs at once: "Past Present and Future" by the Shangri Las playing in the dining room, and "Black Hole" by Beck spilling out of the kitchen. It worked so well!
	3:32pm djsheilab: Mike W—I don't think I've heard their other releases. But I'm a big fan of Carmen Villain. She went from dream-pop to full on ambient.
	3:32pm djsheilab: The Oscar—Love this story!
	3:33pm dreamyandseedy: 70 degrees and sunny in central Texas but the music is still a mood :)
	3:33pm WM: Shelia: Might be interesting to do an entire show of songs featuring narration or sprechgesang (speech singing). That could include Patti Smith, Nico, Marianne Faithful and many others.
	3:34pm Russt44: Prefab opening was magical. Still in that space.
	3:34pm seedfriend: Hey ya friends! Great to catch the show a little bit earlier for me- not tail ending today.
	3:35pm Hughie Considine: Fred Schneider is a master of the sprechegesang art.
	3:36pm djsheilab: Russt44—Stay right there.
	3:36pm Cooh John: Such a web of violin strings seducing and captivating. ❤"House of Games". That would be Lyndsey Crouse playing the protagonist💕.
	3:36pm djsheilab: Hey seedfriend!
	3:37pm Handy Haversack: Ha, The Oscar, that's awesome. Hey, Cooh John!
	3:39pm winston legthigh: @handy its almost little italy oclock, but I can't find ur recipe :(
	3:43pm Handy Haversack: Fear not, winston! 2 oz rye, .75 oz sweet verm, .5 oz cynar, stir w/ ice, serve up, cherry garnish
	3:47pm dreamyandseedy: feel like i haven't heard amber on your show recently... cannot wait for that new record to come out! but i forget how good her older stuff is
	3:47pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—It's been awhile. Anxiously awaiting new material as well! I can't get enough of her voice.
	3:48pm βrian: "LSD, LSD!" Come to find I had unknowingly popped over to Sheena's Jungle Room.
	3:48pm winston legthigh: U, my friend handy, are the bomb!
	3:49pm michael z: This set is so damn electric.
	3:51pm Russt44: Transitions are seamless. Brill set.
	3:51pm djsheilab: Thank you, michael z. I'm so enjoying playing it all for you.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Thanks Russt44! I think you'll love the next one.
	3:52pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Sheila and folks. nice mello vibes in this set. digging.
	3:52pm djsheilab: The stereo mix on this is truly bizarre!
	3:52pm maryfeaster: incredible! mind blown.
	3:53pm JohnEBGood: LBJ took the IRT to 4th Street USA.
	3:54pm Jason from Houston: HEYYYYYYYYY NOW
	3:54pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:55pm HyperDose: Broomzine the best zine! :D
	3:55pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila, hello everyone. A little later but I had a good excuse: The Kinks-play The Moneygoround was live on YouTube.
	3:55pm Stephanie: Absolutely killing it today. These songs make me want to simultaneously be with all of my friends and also be alone. So magical!
	3:56pm Russt44: Peggy song like Here's To Life.
	3:56pm Monica: alright - miss lee wins every prize for rhyming glass with demitasse.
	3:56pm JohnEBGood: Hey Rob, How is it?
	3:57pm Faye: damn i was really just transported by that masterful set
	3:57pm Rob Kopp: Well, it was actor Ben Norris who did all the songs of that LP. It was okay.
	3:57pm dreamyandseedy: you reached the goal!!!!!
	3:58pm Cooh John: Howdy, Handy. Checking in on the comments board while working.

	4:04pm PaulRobeson1920: Good afternoon ya’ll! Sounding good djsheilab!
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: Sheila, did you have bubbly with Habibi last year when they played live on Valentines Day? Speaking of cocktails, hmmmm ... maybe a Bronx? Or a Vendome?
	4:04pm Bri The Beatnik: That sounds interesting! I miss listening to shortwave
	4:05pm a polished polish lady: True inspo
	4:05pm rita popova: ARLO PAAARKSSSSS
	4:06pm djsheilab: Bucky Dent—Proudly ;)
	4:07pm cal: I'd love a cocktail now. Just took the vaccine at 1PM How long must I wait?
	4:07pm djsheilab: Yay! Thanks Faye!
	4:07pm WM: Shelia: May I recommend Forever and Sunsmell - a poem by e. e. cummings set to music by John Cage. There are several versions of the song, but I especially recommend the rendition by Carla Bley. Maybe you’ve heard it already.
	4:08pm PaulRobeson1920: “Everyone is temporarily able bodied”
	4:08pm a polished polish lady: cal: pints of Guinness make you stronger
	4:08pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—I really can't drink on air! All my words turn to mush :)
	4:09pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Just back from my luncheon.
	4:09pm JohnEBGood: Is this a Murderer She Wrote episode?
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: @cal: I think half an hour is traditional! Works with swimming, giving blood, everything ... I understand, Sheila! Kate and I just remembered bubbly, Habibi, you, and Valentines Day but weren't sure of the order of it all.
	4:10pm djsheilab: Hey cal, PaulRobeson1920, Bri The Beatnik, chalmers, Nelo + Carmichael!
	4:11pm artbrau: Handy, Cynar! Just stocked up. I switch between Manhattans and Cynar instead of sweet vermouth.
	4:11pm djsheilab: Thanks Bill + JohnEBGood!
	4:13pm Rob Kopp: I recorded this from SBB #33 in 2016 :-)
	4:14pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:14pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—When SBB was just a baby!
	4:15pm djsheilab: Jason from Houston—Thanks for the love!
	4:15pm coco: Coucou Sheila!
	4:15pm Rob Kopp: Way back then it was just as good as it is now

	4:17pm PaulRobeson1920: <3
	4:18pm Rob Kopp: Lorraine Silver did a wonderful cover of I know you'll be there, a song by another favorite of mine: P.F. Sloan.
	4:19pm a polished polish lady: It’s not junk Jason, it’s space junk ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
	4:19pm Jett: @Jason from Houston She more than deserves all of those hearts you post every week my friend.
	4:20pm djsheilab: Hey coco!
	4:20pm ncjay: the track by Sandie and the one by Lorraine both have really cinematic type arrangements, and both are on Pye. same producer on both?
	4:20pm cal: Pollshed Polish Lady and Haverstock---Thanks for your support. My better half says, I should wait till tomorrow for that drink. Hey Sheila!
	4:21pm Handy Haversack: Heart junk. The best kind.
	4:21pm Carmichael: This has a lot of motown elements to it.
	4:21pm listener james from westwood: Kim Wilde!!
	4:21pm P-90: There’s room for Sandie Shaw in any SBB episode as far as I’m concerned.
	4:22pm ncjay: one of Kim's best albums, too
	4:22pm Carmichael: Speaking of which ... :)
	4:22pm Jett: Here are the ones from me: ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

	4:26pm steveo: That was a cover right? Kim Wilde completely obliterated my memory of the original with that version.
	4:26pm djsheilab: steveo—Yup, a Supremes cover.
	4:27pm steveo: Thanks.. Now I remember. That's a pretty strong version, too 🙂
	4:28pm Hughie Considine: What a band. Last live concert I saw - Stereolab in Brooklyn last fall, and it was a fine, fine thing.

	4:29pm listener 126464: If it's Friday, this must be SBB. Cheers DJ Sheila B., everyone.

	4:30pm djsheilab: Thanks Ryansterlingvirtue! Cheers, listener 126464!
	4:30pm Dave In Leicester: The joy of SBB, one moment lost in beauty of a 25 minute song then bopping around to 3 minutes of Kim Wilde
	4:30pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Stereolab has a Switched-On Vol. 4? Be still my heart. Great show as always, Sheila!
	4:30pm Carmichael: I just watched Stereloab at Primavera 2019 last night. Excellent.
	4:31pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Ich weunsch mir zum Geburtstag einen Beatle!
	4:31pm Cooh John: steveo, check out the Vanilla Fudge version of "You Keep Me Hanging On". Totally trippy.

	4:35pm Huge: "Ringo, I Love You" by Stereo Total
	4:36pm Rob Kopp: @Huge: Anything by Stereo Total, especially Ich weiss nicht mehr genau

	4:38pm el_musgo: hello great show as always!!! greetings from greenpoint!! getting ready for some lamb-mint burgers tonight!!

	4:53pm Vanessa Tara: wonder if this was written by curtis mayfield?
	4:54pm winston legthigh: such soothing music dj, thank you. time to get reaquainted with cynar. happy weekend sheilab, handy, all!
	4:54pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Ashford & Simpson with Josie Armstead.
	4:54pm Jett: Don't believe 'em @djsheilab I'm a good guy!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Ah the genius of Joan Armatrading!
	4:55pm Jett: Ty @Joe McG for bringing us the great @djsheilab.
	4:56pm slugluv1313: omg -- i thought i recognized Rhiannon Giddens! totally making St. James Infirmary Blues her OWN! years ago saw Carolina Chocolate Drops at Central Park's Summerstage -- a VERY pregnant Ms. Giddens was belting 'em out on that hot, humid afternoon, putting us all to shame with her ENERGY . . . and a few years back, tuned in to WQXR's Saturday afternoon opera broadcast (which my Mom listened to religiously) -- not only had i stumbled upon "Akhnaten" but also Ms. Giddens hosting Aria Code . . . Rhiannon Giddens also led me to the stunning music of Leyla McCalla :)
	4:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yip yip hooray for Skeleton Joe!
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: Later on, winston! Drinking a Bronx in Brooklyn and wishing you a happy night!
	4:57pm djsheilab: Love ya, Joe McG!
	4:57pm Jeff Moore: There isn't enough Joan Armatrading in the world.
	4:58pm djsheilab: Jeff Moore—Seriously!
	4:58pm slugluv1313: Joan Armatrading <3 <3 <3
	4:58pm Joe McG: Love ya right back, Sheila B.!
	5:01pm Deborah: Hi Everyone!
	5:03pm Jett: Bloody freezing!!! Bone chilling. Worse part is I have to go out tonight. An important commitment. Gotta dig out the heavy duty gear to keep me warm.
	5:04pm The Oscar: My partner's been on a negroni kick! I got the new Fellini box set for Christmas, and she got an espresso machine, so we've been having very Italian weekends.
	5:04pm nematomorpha: Big Thanks to Sheila from Vienna! Used to listen to SBB every Fridaynight at work in the restaurant. It's the only thing me and the Markus the waiter could agree on, haha
	5:05pm WM: I know you have encyclopedic knowledge of girl pop, but have you ever heard Mary McCalisn’s version of You Keep Me Hangin’ On? (Recorded 1969.) It’s one of the most distinctive versions of that much recorded song I’ve ever heard.
	5:05pm Jett: You R da Bomb! ❤️
	5:05pm Joe McG: Great idea, Sheila!
	5:05pm Handy Haversack: Sheila, a Negroni variant we're gonna try tonight or tomorrow: the Vendome: equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Dubonnet, which is cheap-ish and easy-ish to acquire. If you don't have that, we're enjoying a Bronx right now: 2 oz. gin, .25 sweet verm, .25 dry verm., 1 oz. OJ, dash orange bitters (if you have 'em). Shake, strain, kick back mainland style! I could send you Kate's version of "St. James" if you do the whole show, Joe!
	5:05pm Michael 98145: Ooh. We need to re-watch those great Fellini films.
	5:06pm listener james from westwood: Quite probably enough for 3 hours! Might be more men in that mix than can fit in a SBB ep.
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: Shoot, sorry, Vendome is dry vermouth. Eq. parts gin, dry vermouth, and Dubonnet.
	5:07pm listener 126464: Dubonnet! Nice, Handy!
	5:07pm Rob Kopp: Have a look in Arnold Rypens' Originals book that I know you have, Sheila (under Saint). Enough for 3 hours of St. James Infirmary.
	5:07pm el_musgo: we miss u though...
	5:07pm Jeff Moore: ...and Scott McDowell did three hours of Lonely Woman: wfmu.org...
	5:07pm The Oscar: @Michael The new Criterion set is really great-- it's not complete, but it's got all the essentials, and the presentation is beautiful. Our Fellini-and-affogato Saturdays have been lovely :)
	5:08pm rita popova: Pamela Anderson followed your lead this week Sheila!
	5:08pm Jett: As I've said many times before, Don't Ever Look Back, always forward. @djsheilab
	5:08pm el_musgo: I'm going for pisco sour tonight...
	5:09pm djsheilab: rita popova—Really?!! That is thrilling! Good for her!
	5:09pm wenzo llc.: this is fun!
	5:10pm northguineahills: sorry, i'm late, what did I miss? looks above, oh yeah!
	5:12pm Devin B.: Ah I love this London Pirate Radio collection!
	5:12pm Rob Kopp: Leader of the pack 2.0 ?
	5:12pm listener james from westwood: "Oh, have we got a video?"
	5:12pm dreamyandseedy: curious how you keep up w/music from artists who usually announce their new stuff via socials? do you just have a series of music websites you check? i assume you are on mailing lists of all the labels and artists you like?
	5:13pm mei2ti3: wow, nu Kyary is always welcome
	5:13pm djsheilab: Devin B.—It's such a fab listen!
	5:13pm mmeghan: wow love all this cocktail enthusiasm... maybe i'll mix up a Last Word
	5:13pm Vanessa Tara: "next to the peas and rice"
	5:13pm Michael 98145: Thanks for the tip, @The Oscar
	5:13pm djsheilab: mei2ti3—And such a killer new single to return with!
	5:13pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Haha! Such a good bit.
	5:14pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Lots of blogs, e-mail lists, bandcamp!
	5:14pm Vanessa Tara: cockney for next to the church i think?
	5:16pm northguineahills: Not fair, Vanessa, now I want Jamaican food (and none near where I am)!
	5:17pm βrian: @NGH: You're closer to Jamaica than most Americans, no?
	5:18pm wenzo llc.: northguineahills brown-stew chicken is addictive lol sorry vegans... I try... I am weak
	5:19pm slugluv1313: @djsheilab -- YES! i thought of you instantly when i heard about Pamela Anderson ditching the social media :) and i second WM's recommendation of Mary McCaslin's version of "You Keep Me Hanging On" -- i first heard it on (the "old") WNEW-FM, early/mid-70s, growing up in NJ suburbs -- totally riveting, her voice knocked me out
	5:19pm pgalub: Yo Sheila! Sounding fab. I kind of want to pop by the Video Box even though it's freezing outside and it probably doesn't exist any more. ;)
	5:19pm βrian: Well, if you can't eat vegan, you can still eat vegans.
	5:20pm djsheilab: Hey pgalub! Let's all meet at Video Box!
	5:20pm michael z: Who are Justine & the Victorian Punks? This is SO cool. I have never heard of them.
	5:20pm G: @michael z: vegan curry. num. with a nice chianti...
	5:21pm slugluv1313: what michael z. says above! and i was 20 in 1979, HOW have i never heard of this before?!?
	5:21pm Undead83: Oh sure ^^ @michael z This is Peter Gordon
	5:21pm G: sorry, not at michael z, at Brian. Youze folks type so much lol
	5:22pm djsheilab: Here's the scoop! Justine and the Victorian Punks was a collaboration between Justine, AKA Colette, a French-Tunisian performance artist living in New York, and Peter Gordon's Love of Life Orchestra, a stylistically omnivorous, pop-loving ensemble of avant-garde musicians. Gordon hung out with Beefheart in LA, met Harry Partch through his father, and had his mind blown open by Terry Riley; settling in New York in 1975, he met Arthur Russell and Rhys Chatham and proceeded to immerse himself in the downtown scene surrounding the Kitchen, an experimental performance space where Russell was musical director.
	5:22pm northguineahills: βrian:I'm sans car, and the nearest Jamaican restaurant, is about 25 km away. But, yes, except for anyone else w/in 100 km from the Gulf coast @wenzo: I'm an omnivore, but there used to be a place in Bed-Stuy that had the best vegan curried goat. (also like the meat version).
	5:24pm northguineahills: All of our NYC/NJ/CT peeps are close to Jamaica (Queens, that is). Which ironically has a huge Jamaican immigrant population.....
	5:25pm michael z: I remember seeing Peter Gordon and Arthur Russell at the Kitchen. Tim Lawrence's Hold On to Your Dreams: Arthur Russell and the Downtown Music Scene, 1973-1992 is a great book about the era.
	5:25pm northguineahills: @sheilab: mind blown w/ that description.....
	5:25pm djsheilab: northguineahills—Sounds like a party I'd like to be at!
	5:26pm djsheilab: Ahhhh.....parties.
	5:26pm joy of it: Colette- she wore these impossibly frilly white victorian tight overly laced outfits- check her out - such a rich time to be in NYC- i have gratitude everyday that I lived it
	5:27pm Matt near the Passaic: I was listening to this all week after you played Charlotte adigery last week
	5:27pm slugluv1313: i went to The Kitchen a LOT back in those days (late 70s, when i started college) -- knew Love of Life Orchestra, Rhys Chatham, etc. -- thank you, Sheila B., for this introduction to Justine/Colette
	5:28pm northguineahills: My brain freezes when I hear multiple languages in a song. My brain doesn't know what department to delegate the translation (Including English).
	5:28pm djsheilab: Matt near the Passaic—Yeah! She is a GEM. And this Emmanuelle record is on the same label.
	5:28pm northguineahills: @slugluv: I played at the Kitchen twice (thanks to a friend who has been played on wfmu).
	5:29pm northguineahills: (I only went to the Hells Kitchen location of the Kitchen).
	5:30pm WM: @slugluv1313: Yes, I first heard Mary McCaslin's version of YKMHO late at night on the old WNEW when I was a teen ager. I forgot her name, but I clearly remembered her voice over the years. It took me a long time to rediscover her name and rendition.
	5:30pm joy of it: sharkbar,spring lounge 3roses
	5:30pm Matt near the Passaic: The Free Hifi internet that song cracks me up
	5:31pm Scott Williams: big Peter Gordon fan here, happy to hear that track twice this week - Olivia hit it on Monday! Great version of Beautiful Dreamer on the LP as well. Hi Sheila!
	5:31pm mei2ti3: that kitchen scene—so to say—is really like nothing else, I'll never grow tired of listening. envious of anyone there @ the time, the place...
	5:32pm joy of it: got caught in nostalgia- thank you Sheila for giving me a tender hit into the past
	5:34pm Kevin-san: Just jumping onto the comments to, ummm... COMMENT, that I've not caught all today's show, but it's been lovely (Joan Armatrading, woot!), going to relive via the archives tomorrow, thanks DJSB!
	5:36pm Karen: I love that for a few hours a week I can feel like a cool person just because I tune in and hear a show far more sophisticated than I.
	5:36pm northguineahills: The last Blockbuster I saw in NYC was 2001....
	5:36pm Vanessa Tara: betamax
	5:38pm Vanessa Tara: toodles! a bientot!
	5:39pm djsheilab: Hey Scott Williams!
	5:39pm Carmichael: Ummm, sounds like something familiar, Sheila ...
	5:39pm fredr: So glad we’re on the same page regarding SM Sheila! Keep up the great work...having a martini in your honor.
	5:39pm Rollycoaster: I left Instagram last month, and quit all social media this month. I hope 2021 is the great migration out of these colossal time sucks. Not to mention the mind control
	5:39pm djsheilab: Karen—Hehe....excellent!
	5:39pm djsheilab: Rollycoaster—Music to my ears! and AMEN!
	5:40pm slugluv1313: @WM -- ahh! yes, that is probably when/how i first heard McCaslin too -- knowing me as a teenager, i probably waited for the DJ to announce the set list, and scribbled her name down in a notebook
	5:40pm dano59: The Annie Parsons Project...?
	5:40pm dano59: The Annie Parsons Project...?
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: @ngh, on McGuinness?
	5:41pm djsheilab: Carmichael + dano59—That is why I friggin' adore this song!!!!
	5:41pm Carmichael: Bingo, Dano! The Eye in the Sky Where I Belong.
	5:42pm northguineahills: @Handy: Right around there. Saw Luc Ferrari w/ dj olive there....
	5:42pm northguineahills: (I'd have to look at a map).
	5:42pm Carmichael: Ha ha, guitar solo in the right spot and everything!
	5:43pm DavidL: That "take it away, Johnny" was kind of amazing...
	5:43pm dano59: Haha of course. the lyric is sweet too. Sry for my app double-posting
	5:43pm northguineahills: what dano did there, I saw :p
	5:44pm michael z: This could have fit in that glorious first set, but it's also lovely now, as Sheila slowly leads us into the weekend.
	5:44pm northguineahills: I know El Perro del Mar, but never heard them cover this.... (wait, I did here).
	5:45pm chalmers: Wow, El Perro Del Mar doing Springsteen
	5:45pm lunarleigh: LOVE THIS....dream baby dream....open up our hearts
	5:45pm Michael 98145: loverly
	5:46pm eºIºk: My fave cover of this I’ve heard so far. Springsteen’s version is something of a FMU hit.
	5:47pm Deborah: Working but listening. Music is so good. I love Sandie Shaw. Shaw and Cilla Black did not and do not receive the attention that they should have. Perhaps they did in Britain.
	5:47pm slugluv1313: @ngh -- that is so cool! The Kitchen was and remains incredible -- never went to their original location, but the SoHo location (ahhh yes when SoHo was still an artists' neighborhood)
	5:48pm Deborah: I am such a Yo Yo Ma groupie and love Rihannon Giddens since her days with Carolina Chocolate Drops. Has anyone heard her sing "Tomorrow is My Turn?" Gives me the chills!
	5:48pm michael z: Springsteen really transformed Suicide's version. He owns the song now.
	5:49pm Mailman Tom: Meow, Slugluv
	5:49pm Rollycoaster: Who needs social media when you have WFMU to keep you company
	5:49pm northguineahills: I concur w/ michael...
	5:49pm Rollycoaster: “Doing Springsteen” 😂
	5:50pm Rollycoaster: Wait how do I join the mailing list?
	5:50pm slugluv1313: Meow to you too, Mailman Tom!
	5:51pm djsheilab: Rollycoaster—Just send me an e-mail sheilab (at) wfmu (dot) org
	5:51pm Rollycoaster: I think Alan Vega will always be the rightful (and righteous) owner of that song, sir.
	5:51pm djsheilab: Deborah—Appreciate the feedback!
	5:52pm djsheilab: Deborah—Sandy + Cilla were huge in the UK + Europe, but not so much in the US.
	5:52pm Rollycoaster: With all due respect to “The Assistant Manager”
	5:52pm slugluv1313: YES!!! love El Perro Del Mar's "Dream Baby Dream," as well as Springsteen's
	5:52pm Rollycoaster: Thanks Sheila!
	5:53pm michael z: I would like to think Alan still owns it but that was definitely a Springsteen cover.
	5:53pm slugluv1313: true, but i recall reading somewhere that Alan Vega loved Springsteen's version, basically b/c Springsteen did not try to imitate the Suicide original
	5:53pm Russt44: Ending the way you started. Full circle. Lovely
	5:54pm northguineahills: domo arigato gasaimasu-te, sheilab!
	5:55pm ncjay: thanks for an entertaining session from the beginning to the end, Sheila!
	5:55pm DjLorraine: Meow to slugluv and meow to Mailman Tom and Alvy Singer
	5:55pm Miss G: Sorry to miss what looks like a great show (dang texts) look forward to the archive, thanks Sheila B and Joe McG!
	5:55pm Russt44: Sandy and Cilla did have big hits back then
	5:55pm slugluv1313: wonderful wonderful show, DJ Sheila B. -- glad i was able to listen LIVE -- thanks so much!
	5:55pm Jett: thank you dreamy @djsheilab for another great gift. Love you a lot! Catch you again real soon. Thanks To Joe McG also. Stay safe and well and warm. ❤️
	5:55pm a polished polish lady: This was great. Candles lit, glass of wine in hand, sitting in the tub. So relaxing. Still debating whether I should fill it with water or not.
	5:55pm mei2ti3: str8 rinsing ethereal, these last two sets I got to hear! thank u Sheila~
	5:55pm michael z: Thank you Sheila and please stay safe everyone....
	5:55pm Michael 98145: thanks again, DJ Sheila
	5:56pm cosmic matrix: ahhhhhh i just had tub time toooooo! so perfect. thank u sheila!
	5:56pm Rollycoaster: Bruce didn’t write it. He only does it at karaoke
	5:56pm Jett: Greetings also to my friend @DjLorraine, hope all is fine with you.
	5:56pm slugluv1313: @DjLorraine -- MEOWs for everyone!
	5:57pm Stashu: :)
	5:57pm ?: Springsteen Shringsteen. Julianna Barwick: so beautiful. And Vangelis with the beautiful Rachel's Song!
	5:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sheila. Have a lovely week!
	5:57pm listener james from westwood: Gonna wake up tomorrow thinking I'd dreamed this jewel of an episode. Thanks, Sheila!!
	5:57pm Michael 98145: don't forget to tip your replicant
	5:58pm pgalub: "It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?"
	5:58pm listener 126464: Thanks DJ and crew.
	5:58pm Deborah: This show was perfect. Thank you!
	5:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Sheila! Be well, friends!

	5:59pm Russt44: Mary "Those Were the Days" Hopkin. Great
	5:59pm rita popova: What a treat today...thank you so much <3
	6:00pm northguineahills: Never thought I'd hear Julianna Barwick on Ninja Tune....
	6:00pm P-90: This is the perfect bookend to the Prefab Sprout opener. Many many thanks, DJ Sheila B, and may your week be filled with joy or whatever.
	6:00pm Michael 98145: time flies in boom-boom land
	6:00pm djsheilab: Thanks for all the love, dear listeners! So nice being with you today. Stay safe out there + see you next Friday! Xoxoxo

	3:18pm djsheilab: Hey Jett!

	3:20pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hi Sheila great opening love it

	3:22pm Michael 98145: { i could make a joke about hedge fund pirates becoming blues singers ... but i won't }
	3:22pm djsheilab: WM—Yes, the Shangri Las' intention was to move emotions. Not so with this one! at least not in the same way.
	3:22pm WM: Thanks for mentioning David Mamet's House of Games, a favorite film of mine.
	3:23pm Peter in SEA: Early release Friday at the old Schoolhouse :-)! And now Sophisticated Sounds! :-)
	3:23pm βrian: Just surprised the little human with hot cocoa. Rich, dark, and spiced with cayenne and cinnamon.
	3:24pm michael z: More than amazing. This is sublime.
	3:24pm Mike W: it’s even longer! the killer edge of early-’00s pop style
	3:24pm slugluv1313: reading the lyrics (again) -- recalling that these "mere words," strung together so beautifully, were what had me transfixed the first time i heard this (@Handy -- maybe on Mary Wing's show? i know it was here on WFMU!)
	3:25pm goat bruh: I love you all
	3:25pm LouV: this song is so beautiful, what an open to the show.
	3:26pm listener james from westwood: Daaaaamn, what a segue.
	3:26pm Vanessa Tara: @sheila ... attila? ;)
	3:26pm Michael 98145: yes
	3:26pm Cheek!: This isn’t the Shangri-Las!
	3:26pm The Oscar: Busy working, but WOWOWOW Agnetha covering Shangri-Las!!
	3:26pm djsheilab: Hey winston legthigh, goes211, Brian, Stephanie + goat bruh!
	3:27pm Guido from Cologne: This is a Shangri Las' song isn't it?
	3:27pm Vanessa Tara: what is this song (shangri-las) about?
	3:27pm djsheilab: Thank you LouV + listener james from westwood!
	3:28pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:29pm JohnEBGood: OK I got djsheila back. Peace 🎹
	3:30pm Jett: Agnetha, who I happen to love a lot, just doesn't deliver it with the same emotion as Mary Weiss does. I'll stick to the Shangri-las version.
	3:31pm Mike W: Geographic North’s releases all have a certain vibe about them, a life-improving vibe
	3:31pm The Oscar: One time I was out for dinner with a group of friends (all past and present record store clerks), and this moody semi-spoken piece was playing, and we were all going crazy trying to figure out what it was-- it sounded like Bat For Lashes, but more creepy and dissonant. Eventually we realized we were hearing two songs at once: "Past Present and Future" by the Shangri Las playing in the dining room, and "Black Hole" by Beck spilling out of the kitchen. It worked so well!
	3:32pm djsheilab: Mike W—I don't think I've heard their other releases. But I'm a big fan of Carmen Villain. She went from dream-pop to full on ambient.
	3:32pm djsheilab: The Oscar—Love this story!
	3:33pm dreamyandseedy: 70 degrees and sunny in central Texas but the music is still a mood :)
	3:33pm WM: Shelia: Might be interesting to do an entire show of songs featuring narration or sprechgesang (speech singing). That could include Patti Smith, Nico, Marianne Faithful and many others.
	3:34pm Russt44: Prefab opening was magical. Still in that space.
	3:34pm seedfriend: Hey ya friends! Great to catch the show a little bit earlier for me- not tail ending today.
	3:35pm Hughie Considine: Fred Schneider is a master of the sprechegesang art.
	3:36pm djsheilab: Russt44—Stay right there.
	3:36pm Cooh John: Such a web of violin strings seducing and captivating. ❤"House of Games". That would be Lyndsey Crouse playing the protagonist💕.
	3:36pm djsheilab: Hey seedfriend!
	3:37pm Handy Haversack: Ha, The Oscar, that's awesome. Hey, Cooh John!
	3:39pm winston legthigh: @handy its almost little italy oclock, but I can't find ur recipe :(
	3:43pm Handy Haversack: Fear not, winston! 2 oz rye, .75 oz sweet verm, .5 oz cynar, stir w/ ice, serve up, cherry garnish
	3:47pm dreamyandseedy: feel like i haven't heard amber on your show recently... cannot wait for that new record to come out! but i forget how good her older stuff is
	3:47pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—It's been awhile. Anxiously awaiting new material as well! I can't get enough of her voice.
	3:48pm βrian: "LSD, LSD!" Come to find I had unknowingly popped over to Sheena's Jungle Room.
	3:48pm winston legthigh: U, my friend handy, are the bomb!
	3:49pm michael z: This set is so damn electric.
	3:51pm Russt44: Transitions are seamless. Brill set.
	3:51pm djsheilab: Thank you, michael z. I'm so enjoying playing it all for you.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Thanks Russt44! I think you'll love the next one.
	3:52pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Sheila and folks. nice mello vibes in this set. digging.
	3:52pm djsheilab: The stereo mix on this is truly bizarre!
	3:52pm maryfeaster: incredible! mind blown.
	3:53pm JohnEBGood: LBJ took the IRT to 4th Street USA.
	3:54pm Jason from Houston: HEYYYYYYYYY NOW
	3:54pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:55pm HyperDose: Broomzine the best zine! :D
	3:55pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila, hello everyone. A little later but I had a good excuse: The Kinks-play The Moneygoround was live on YouTube.
	3:55pm Stephanie: Absolutely killing it today. These songs make me want to simultaneously be with all of my friends and also be alone. So magical!
	3:56pm Russt44: Peggy song like Here's To Life.
	3:56pm Monica: alright - miss lee wins every prize for rhyming glass with demitasse.
	3:56pm JohnEBGood: Hey Rob, How is it?
	3:57pm Faye: damn i was really just transported by that masterful set
	3:57pm Rob Kopp: Well, it was actor Ben Norris who did all the songs of that LP. It was okay.
	3:57pm dreamyandseedy: you reached the goal!!!!!
	3:58pm Cooh John: Howdy, Handy. Checking in on the comments board while working.
	3:58pm Nelo: Wow, what an epic set!! <3

	4:04pm PaulRobeson1920: Good afternoon ya’ll! Sounding good djsheilab!
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: Sheila, did you have bubbly with Habibi last year when they played live on Valentines Day? Speaking of cocktails, hmmmm ... maybe a Bronx? Or a Vendome?
	4:04pm Bri The Beatnik: That sounds interesting! I miss listening to shortwave
	4:05pm a polished polish lady: True inspo
	4:05pm rita popova: ARLO PAAARKSSSSS
	4:06pm djsheilab: Bucky Dent—Proudly ;)
	4:07pm cal: I'd love a cocktail now. Just took the vaccine at 1PM How long must I wait?
	4:07pm djsheilab: Yay! Thanks Faye!
	4:07pm WM: Shelia: May I recommend Forever and Sunsmell - a poem by e. e. cummings set to music by John Cage. There are several versions of the song, but I especially recommend the rendition by Carla Bley. Maybe you’ve heard it already.
	4:08pm PaulRobeson1920: “Everyone is temporarily able bodied”
	4:08pm a polished polish lady: cal: pints of Guinness make you stronger
	4:08pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—I really can't drink on air! All my words turn to mush :)
	4:09pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Just back from my luncheon.
	4:09pm JohnEBGood: Is this a Murderer She Wrote episode?
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: @cal: I think half an hour is traditional! Works with swimming, giving blood, everything ... I understand, Sheila! Kate and I just remembered bubbly, Habibi, you, and Valentines Day but weren't sure of the order of it all.
	4:10pm djsheilab: Hey cal, PaulRobeson1920, Bri The Beatnik, chalmers, Nelo + Carmichael!
	4:11pm artbrau: Handy, Cynar! Just stocked up. I switch between Manhattans and Cynar instead of sweet vermouth.
	4:11pm djsheilab: Thanks Bill + JohnEBGood!
	4:13pm Rob Kopp: I recorded this from SBB #33 in 2016 :-)
	4:14pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:14pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—When SBB was just a baby!
	4:15pm djsheilab: Jason from Houston—Thanks for the love!
	4:15pm coco: Coucou Sheila!
	4:15pm Rob Kopp: Way back then it was just as good as it is now
	4:17pm Jason from Houston: Thank you for all the fine Friday sounds! And for letting me junk up your comments with hearts! LOL
	4:17pm PaulRobeson1920: <3
	4:18pm Rob Kopp: Lorraine Silver did a wonderful cover of I know you'll be there, a song by another favorite of mine: P.F. Sloan.
	4:19pm a polished polish lady: It’s not junk Jason, it’s space junk ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
	4:19pm Jett: @Jason from Houston She more than deserves all of those hearts you post every week my friend.
	4:20pm djsheilab: Hey coco!
	4:20pm ncjay: the track by Sandie and the one by Lorraine both have really cinematic type arrangements, and both are on Pye. same producer on both?
	4:20pm cal: Pollshed Polish Lady and Haverstock---Thanks for your support. My better half says, I should wait till tomorrow for that drink. Hey Sheila!
	4:21pm Handy Haversack: Heart junk. The best kind.
	4:21pm Carmichael: This has a lot of motown elements to it.
	4:21pm listener james from westwood: Kim Wilde!!
	4:21pm P-90: There’s room for Sandie Shaw in any SBB episode as far as I’m concerned.
	4:22pm ncjay: one of Kim's best albums, too
	4:22pm Carmichael: Speaking of which ... :)
	4:22pm Jett: Here are the ones from me: ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

	4:23pm djsheilab: YEAHHHHH! Thanks D Rok (in brooklyn)!

	4:26pm steveo: That was a cover right? Kim Wilde completely obliterated my memory of the original with that version.
	4:26pm djsheilab: steveo—Yup, a Supremes cover.
	4:27pm steveo: Thanks.. Now I remember. That's a pretty strong version, too 🙂
	4:28pm Hughie Considine: What a band. Last live concert I saw - Stereolab in Brooklyn last fall, and it was a fine, fine thing.
	4:28pm Ryansterlingvirtue: loving this set.
	4:29pm listener 126464: If it's Friday, this must be SBB. Cheers DJ Sheila B., everyone.
	4:30pm Guido from Cologne: Hahahahaha!!!
	4:30pm djsheilab: Thanks Ryansterlingvirtue! Cheers, listener 126464!
	4:30pm Dave In Leicester: The joy of SBB, one moment lost in beauty of a 25 minute song then bopping around to 3 minutes of Kim Wilde
	4:30pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Stereolab has a Switched-On Vol. 4? Be still my heart. Great show as always, Sheila!
	4:30pm Carmichael: I just watched Stereloab at Primavera 2019 last night. Excellent.
	4:31pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Ich weunsch mir zum Geburtstag einen Beatle!
	4:31pm Cooh John: steveo, check out the Vanilla Fudge version of "You Keep Me Hanging On". Totally trippy.
	4:32pm djsheilab: Dave In Leicester—Variety + movement is key!
	4:33pm steveo: I remember that one too, Cooh
	4:35pm Guido from Cologne: I want a Beatle for Birthday
	4:35pm Guido from Cologne: is the title
	4:35pm Rob Kopp: Your Dutch is Better, Sheila
	4:35pm Huge: "Ringo, I Love You" by Stereo Total
	4:36pm Rob Kopp: @Huge: Anything by Stereo Total, especially Ich weiss nicht mehr genau
	4:37pm chalmers: Sadly, if you can believe the Internet, the young women on the Die Sweetles record cover were not the actual singers.
	4:38pm el_musgo: hello great show as always!!! greetings from greenpoint!! getting ready for some lamb-mint burgers tonight!!
	4:38pm steveo: The fake drummer is my favorite Sweetle.
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: Greenpoint salutes Greenpoint, el_musgo!

	4:40pm Joe McG: Can't go wrong with this one, Sheila B.!
	4:42pm Rob Kopp: This is a great version indeed.
	4:42pm Cooh John: Throat Culture does an acapella version that is awesome.
	4:43pm a polished polish lady: Wow love this. that intro reminded me of the black ox orkestar violin duet
	4:43pm Rob Kopp: St. James infirmary by Johnny Kendall & The Heralds was one of the first Dutch beat songs (in 1964).
	4:43pm dreamyandseedy: Rhiannon can do no wrong
	4:44pm el_musgo: hello @handy haversack!
	4:44pm djsheilab: Joe McG—Seriously!

	4:45pm Vanessa Tara: awesome song!
	4:45pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—Isn't it wild?!! Such spirit in this record!
	4:45pm michael z: This version takes the listener on a trip to so many different places.
	4:46pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Michael Z. for proposing this one
	4:46pm djsheilab: michael z—I'm so happy to have this record in my life. Thank you!
	4:47pm el_musgo: the recipe: www.thespruceeats.com...
	4:48pm michael z: It is such a treat to be able to occasionally contribute to the happiest and most personal radio show ever.

	4:53pm Vanessa Tara: wonder if this was written by curtis mayfield?
	4:54pm winston legthigh: such soothing music dj, thank you. time to get reaquainted with cynar. happy weekend sheilab, handy, all!
	4:54pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Ashford & Simpson with Josie Armstead.
	4:54pm Jett: Don't believe 'em @djsheilab I'm a good guy!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Ah the genius of Joan Armatrading!
	4:55pm Jett: Ty @Joe McG for bringing us the great @djsheilab.
	4:56pm slugluv1313: omg -- i thought i recognized Rhiannon Giddens! totally making St. James Infirmary Blues her OWN! years ago saw Carolina Chocolate Drops at Central Park's Summerstage -- a VERY pregnant Ms. Giddens was belting 'em out on that hot, humid afternoon, putting us all to shame with her ENERGY . . . and a few years back, tuned in to WQXR's Saturday afternoon opera broadcast (which my Mom listened to religiously) -- not only had i stumbled upon "Akhnaten" but also Ms. Giddens hosting Aria Code . . . Rhiannon Giddens also led me to the stunning music of Leyla McCalla :)
	4:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yip yip hooray for Skeleton Joe!
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: Later on, winston! Drinking a Bronx in Brooklyn and wishing you a happy night!
	4:57pm djsheilab: Love ya, Joe McG!
	4:57pm Jeff Moore: There isn't enough Joan Armatrading in the world.
	4:58pm djsheilab: Jeff Moore—Seriously!
	4:58pm slugluv1313: Joan Armatrading <3 <3 <3
	4:58pm Joe McG: Love ya right back, Sheila B.!
	5:01pm Deborah: Hi Everyone!
	5:03pm Jett: Bloody freezing!!! Bone chilling. Worse part is I have to go out tonight. An important commitment. Gotta dig out the heavy duty gear to keep me warm.
	5:04pm The Oscar: My partner's been on a negroni kick! I got the new Fellini box set for Christmas, and she got an espresso machine, so we've been having very Italian weekends.
	5:04pm nematomorpha: Big Thanks to Sheila from Vienna! Used to listen to SBB every Fridaynight at work in the restaurant. It's the only thing me and the Markus the waiter could agree on, haha
	5:05pm WM: I know you have encyclopedic knowledge of girl pop, but have you ever heard Mary McCalisn’s version of You Keep Me Hangin’ On? (Recorded 1969.) It’s one of the most distinctive versions of that much recorded song I’ve ever heard.
	5:05pm Jett: You R da Bomb! ❤️
	5:05pm Joe McG: Great idea, Sheila!
	5:05pm Handy Haversack: Sheila, a Negroni variant we're gonna try tonight or tomorrow: the Vendome: equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Dubonnet, which is cheap-ish and easy-ish to acquire. If you don't have that, we're enjoying a Bronx right now: 2 oz. gin, .25 sweet verm, .25 dry verm., 1 oz. OJ, dash orange bitters (if you have 'em). Shake, strain, kick back mainland style! I could send you Kate's version of "St. James" if you do the whole show, Joe!
	5:05pm Michael 98145: Ooh. We need to re-watch those great Fellini films.
	5:06pm listener james from westwood: Quite probably enough for 3 hours! Might be more men in that mix than can fit in a SBB ep.
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: Shoot, sorry, Vendome is dry vermouth. Eq. parts gin, dry vermouth, and Dubonnet.
	5:07pm listener 126464: Dubonnet! Nice, Handy!
	5:07pm Rob Kopp: Have a look in Arnold Rypens' Originals book that I know you have, Sheila (under Saint). Enough for 3 hours of St. James Infirmary.
	5:07pm el_musgo: we miss u though...
	5:07pm Jeff Moore: ...and Scott McDowell did three hours of Lonely Woman: wfmu.org...
	5:07pm The Oscar: @Michael The new Criterion set is really great-- it's not complete, but it's got all the essentials, and the presentation is beautiful. Our Fellini-and-affogato Saturdays have been lovely :)
	5:08pm rita popova: Pamela Anderson followed your lead this week Sheila!
	5:08pm Jett: As I've said many times before, Don't Ever Look Back, always forward. @djsheilab
	5:08pm el_musgo: I'm going for pisco sour tonight...
	5:09pm djsheilab: rita popova—Really?!! That is thrilling! Good for her!
	5:09pm wenzo llc.: this is fun!
	5:10pm northguineahills: sorry, i'm late, what did I miss? looks above, oh yeah!
	5:12pm Devin B.: Ah I love this London Pirate Radio collection!
	5:12pm Rob Kopp: Leader of the pack 2.0 ?
	5:12pm listener james from westwood: "Oh, have we got a video?"
	5:12pm dreamyandseedy: curious how you keep up w/music from artists who usually announce their new stuff via socials? do you just have a series of music websites you check? i assume you are on mailing lists of all the labels and artists you like?
	5:13pm mei2ti3: wow, nu Kyary is always welcome
	5:13pm djsheilab: Devin B.—It's such a fab listen!
	5:13pm mmeghan: wow love all this cocktail enthusiasm... maybe i'll mix up a Last Word
	5:13pm Vanessa Tara: "next to the peas and rice"
	5:13pm Michael 98145: Thanks for the tip, @The Oscar
	5:13pm djsheilab: mei2ti3—And such a killer new single to return with!
	5:13pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Haha! Such a good bit.
	5:14pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Lots of blogs, e-mail lists, bandcamp!
	5:14pm Vanessa Tara: cockney for next to the church i think?
	5:16pm northguineahills: Not fair, Vanessa, now I want Jamaican food (and none near where I am)!
	5:17pm βrian: @NGH: You're closer to Jamaica than most Americans, no?
	5:18pm wenzo llc.: northguineahills brown-stew chicken is addictive lol sorry vegans... I try... I am weak
	5:19pm slugluv1313: @djsheilab -- YES! i thought of you instantly when i heard about Pamela Anderson ditching the social media :) and i second WM's recommendation of Mary McCaslin's version of "You Keep Me Hanging On" -- i first heard it on (the "old") WNEW-FM, early/mid-70s, growing up in NJ suburbs -- totally riveting, her voice knocked me out
	5:19pm pgalub: Yo Sheila! Sounding fab. I kind of want to pop by the Video Box even though it's freezing outside and it probably doesn't exist any more. ;)
	5:19pm βrian: Well, if you can't eat vegan, you can still eat vegans.
	5:20pm djsheilab: Hey pgalub! Let's all meet at Video Box!
	5:20pm michael z: Who are Justine & the Victorian Punks? This is SO cool. I have never heard of them.
	5:20pm G: @michael z: vegan curry. num. with a nice chianti...
	5:21pm slugluv1313: what michael z. says above! and i was 20 in 1979, HOW have i never heard of this before?!?
	5:21pm Undead83: Oh sure ^^ @michael z This is Peter Gordon
	5:21pm G: sorry, not at michael z, at Brian. Youze folks type so much lol
	5:22pm djsheilab: Here's the scoop! Justine and the Victorian Punks was a collaboration between Justine, AKA Colette, a French-Tunisian performance artist living in New York, and Peter Gordon's Love of Life Orchestra, a stylistically omnivorous, pop-loving ensemble of avant-garde musicians. Gordon hung out with Beefheart in LA, met Harry Partch through his father, and had his mind blown open by Terry Riley; settling in New York in 1975, he met Arthur Russell and Rhys Chatham and proceeded to immerse himself in the downtown scene surrounding the Kitchen, an experimental performance space where Russell was musical director.
	5:22pm northguineahills: βrian:I'm sans car, and the nearest Jamaican restaurant, is about 25 km away. But, yes, except for anyone else w/in 100 km from the Gulf coast @wenzo: I'm an omnivore, but there used to be a place in Bed-Stuy that had the best vegan curried goat. (also like the meat version).
	5:24pm northguineahills: All of our NYC/NJ/CT peeps are close to Jamaica (Queens, that is). Which ironically has a huge Jamaican immigrant population.....
	5:25pm michael z: I remember seeing Peter Gordon and Arthur Russell at the Kitchen. Tim Lawrence's Hold On to Your Dreams: Arthur Russell and the Downtown Music Scene, 1973-1992 is a great book about the era.
	5:25pm northguineahills: @sheilab: mind blown w/ that description.....
	5:25pm djsheilab: northguineahills—Sounds like a party I'd like to be at!
	5:26pm djsheilab: Ahhhh.....parties.
	5:26pm joy of it: Colette- she wore these impossibly frilly white victorian tight overly laced outfits- check her out - such a rich time to be in NYC- i have gratitude everyday that I lived it
	5:27pm Matt near the Passaic: I was listening to this all week after you played Charlotte adigery last week
	5:27pm slugluv1313: i went to The Kitchen a LOT back in those days (late 70s, when i started college) -- knew Love of Life Orchestra, Rhys Chatham, etc. -- thank you, Sheila B., for this introduction to Justine/Colette
	5:28pm northguineahills: My brain freezes when I hear multiple languages in a song. My brain doesn't know what department to delegate the translation (Including English).
	5:28pm djsheilab: Matt near the Passaic—Yeah! She is a GEM. And this Emmanuelle record is on the same label.
	5:28pm northguineahills: @slugluv: I played at the Kitchen twice (thanks to a friend who has been played on wfmu).
	5:29pm northguineahills: (I only went to the Hells Kitchen location of the Kitchen).
	5:30pm WM: @slugluv1313: Yes, I first heard Mary McCaslin's version of YKMHO late at night on the old WNEW when I was a teen ager. I forgot her name, but I clearly remembered her voice over the years. It took me a long time to rediscover her name and rendition.
	5:30pm joy of it: sharkbar,spring lounge 3roses
	5:30pm Matt near the Passaic: The Free Hifi internet that song cracks me up
	5:31pm Scott Williams: big Peter Gordon fan here, happy to hear that track twice this week - Olivia hit it on Monday! Great version of Beautiful Dreamer on the LP as well. Hi Sheila!
	5:31pm mei2ti3: that kitchen scene—so to say—is really like nothing else, I'll never grow tired of listening. envious of anyone there @ the time, the place...
	5:32pm joy of it: got caught in nostalgia- thank you Sheila for giving me a tender hit into the past
	5:34pm Kevin-san: Just jumping onto the comments to, ummm... COMMENT, that I've not caught all today's show, but it's been lovely (Joan Armatrading, woot!), going to relive via the archives tomorrow, thanks DJSB!
	5:36pm Karen: I love that for a few hours a week I can feel like a cool person just because I tune in and hear a show far more sophisticated than I.
	5:36pm northguineahills: The last Blockbuster I saw in NYC was 2001....
	5:36pm Vanessa Tara: betamax
	5:38pm Vanessa Tara: toodles! a bientot!
	5:39pm djsheilab: Hey Scott Williams!
	5:39pm Carmichael: Ummm, sounds like something familiar, Sheila ...
	5:39pm fredr: So glad we’re on the same page regarding SM Sheila! Keep up the great work...having a martini in your honor.
	5:39pm Rollycoaster: I left Instagram last month, and quit all social media this month. I hope 2021 is the great migration out of these colossal time sucks. Not to mention the mind control
	5:39pm djsheilab: Karen—Hehe....excellent!
	5:39pm djsheilab: Rollycoaster—Music to my ears! and AMEN!
	5:40pm slugluv1313: @WM -- ahh! yes, that is probably when/how i first heard McCaslin too -- knowing me as a teenager, i probably waited for the DJ to announce the set list, and scribbled her name down in a notebook
	5:40pm dano59: The Annie Parsons Project...?
	5:40pm dano59: The Annie Parsons Project...?
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: @ngh, on McGuinness?
	5:41pm djsheilab: Carmichael + dano59—That is why I friggin' adore this song!!!!
	5:41pm Carmichael: Bingo, Dano! The Eye in the Sky Where I Belong.
	5:42pm northguineahills: @Handy: Right around there. Saw Luc Ferrari w/ dj olive there....
	5:42pm northguineahills: (I'd have to look at a map).
	5:42pm Carmichael: Ha ha, guitar solo in the right spot and everything!
	5:43pm DavidL: That "take it away, Johnny" was kind of amazing...
	5:43pm dano59: Haha of course. the lyric is sweet too. Sry for my app double-posting
	5:43pm northguineahills: what dano did there, I saw :p
	5:44pm michael z: This could have fit in that glorious first set, but it's also lovely now, as Sheila slowly leads us into the weekend.
	5:44pm northguineahills: I know El Perro del Mar, but never heard them cover this.... (wait, I did here).
	5:45pm chalmers: Wow, El Perro Del Mar doing Springsteen
	5:45pm lunarleigh: LOVE THIS....dream baby dream....open up our hearts
	5:45pm Michael 98145: loverly
	5:46pm eºIºk: My fave cover of this I’ve heard so far. Springsteen’s version is something of a FMU hit.
	5:47pm Deborah: Working but listening. Music is so good. I love Sandie Shaw. Shaw and Cilla Black did not and do not receive the attention that they should have. Perhaps they did in Britain.
	5:47pm slugluv1313: @ngh -- that is so cool! The Kitchen was and remains incredible -- never went to their original location, but the SoHo location (ahhh yes when SoHo was still an artists' neighborhood)
	5:48pm Deborah: I am such a Yo Yo Ma groupie and love Rihannon Giddens since her days with Carolina Chocolate Drops. Has anyone heard her sing "Tomorrow is My Turn?" Gives me the chills!
	5:48pm michael z: Springsteen really transformed Suicide's version. He owns the song now.
	5:49pm Mailman Tom: Meow, Slugluv
	5:49pm Rollycoaster: Who needs social media when you have WFMU to keep you company
	5:49pm northguineahills: I concur w/ michael...
	5:49pm Rollycoaster: “Doing Springsteen” 😂
	5:50pm Rollycoaster: Wait how do I join the mailing list?
	5:50pm slugluv1313: Meow to you too, Mailman Tom!
	5:51pm djsheilab: Rollycoaster—Just send me an e-mail sheilab (at) wfmu (dot) org
	5:51pm Rollycoaster: I think Alan Vega will always be the rightful (and righteous) owner of that song, sir.
	5:51pm djsheilab: Deborah—Appreciate the feedback!
	5:52pm djsheilab: Deborah—Sandy + Cilla were huge in the UK + Europe, but not so much in the US.
	5:52pm Rollycoaster: With all due respect to “The Assistant Manager”
	5:52pm slugluv1313: YES!!! love El Perro Del Mar's "Dream Baby Dream," as well as Springsteen's
	5:52pm Rollycoaster: Thanks Sheila!
	5:53pm michael z: I would like to think Alan still owns it but that was definitely a Springsteen cover.
	5:53pm slugluv1313: true, but i recall reading somewhere that Alan Vega loved Springsteen's version, basically b/c Springsteen did not try to imitate the Suicide original
	5:53pm Russt44: Ending the way you started. Full circle. Lovely
	5:54pm northguineahills: domo arigato gasaimasu-te, sheilab!
	5:55pm ncjay: thanks for an entertaining session from the beginning to the end, Sheila!
	5:55pm DjLorraine: Meow to slugluv and meow to Mailman Tom and Alvy Singer
