	3:07pm djsheilab: Hey dreamyandseedy! I'm coming off TWO Amber Mark gigs. HEAVEN!!!!!
	3:08pm fred: The opening track reminds me that some friends' voice sound way lower when we chat than when they talk to others. I took a while for that shift to happen with me

	3:11pm djsheilab: Hello Ramblin' Ray, BH + PaulRobeson1922!
	3:11pm michael z: The melancholy of these opening songs is so apt after these two hideous weeks. There's no way to be giddy right now in America.
	3:11pm Cooh John: Irwin who can be irascible as a lead in to sophisticated Sheila.👍🎶
	3:12pm fred: @Robm: I hope today's occasional man is Jandek. There's good insanity in Texas
	3:12pm djsheilab: Robm—It all feels so dark and hopeless, I know. I hope these songs bring some comfort.
	3:13pm Michael 98145: This is loverly
	3:13pm djsheilab: michael z.—Exactly.
	3:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good Medicine.
	3:13pm Robm: @Michael Z i know but i for one am going to try @Shelia so far so good
	3:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: The power of boom compels you! Hi, Sheila and pinkies-up persuasion.
	3:14pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Sheila and all.
	3:15pm D Rok: This chord progression sounds very much like the James Bond theme.
	3:15pm listener james from westwood: Right?! And yet it was a year before Dr. No!
	3:15pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Friday.
	3:15pm djsheilab: Hello Crosby in KC, Ken from Hyde Park + Carmichael. D Rok—Very much so!
	3:16pm Cooh John: This has me swooning. Catch me if I fall.
	3:16pm maryfeaster: Thank you! Always a pleasure to listen to your program, especially these strange days.

	3:17pm WM: Slick
	3:19pm djsheilab: Thank you maryfeaster! Hello WM! Listener James from Westwood, didn't mean to skip my hello to you! Hello!
	3:19pm mariano: Holy smokes, Sheila B, what an amazing run of songs. Each one a revelation. OK, back to work I go.
	3:20pm Michael 98145: yes
	3:20pm U.K. Steve: Music this beautiful can surely sooth a soul that’s hurting…
	3:20pm djsheilab: Awww thanks mariano!
	3:20pm michael z: How is it that this is in French if it's from Romania?
	3:21pm djsheilab: U.K. Steve—Soothing souls....yes!
	3:21pm DjLorraine: What did i miss? Greetings assembled listeners
	3:21pm thin slice: Maria Tanase died at 49. She sounds like she’s carrying the world weariness of a 70 year old. Amazing
	3:22pm djsheilab: michael z—Maria is from Romania, but she's singing in French on this one.
	3:22pm _Ike_: Pet a cat. Stand in sun. Touch grass. Sun Ra said: what you gonna do without yo ass? You will never die. You will simply lose your body. You will be free. ‘Til then, up the hill, absorb what’s there to see.
	3:22pm michael z: She has a really good accent.
	3:22pm Rick G: Hello Sheila and listeners. Another cloudy holiday weekend here in the PNW.
	3:23pm Michael 98145: { The doina is a Romanian musical tune style, possibly with Middle Eastern roots, customary in Romanian peasant music }
	3:23pm djsheilab: How sweet + lovely—thank you Ike.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Hello thin slice, DJLorraine + Rick G!
	3:25pm Crosby in KC: Love this spooky/haunting vibe
	3:26pm chris in the redwoods: 'Berceuse' is what i imagine my response sounds like when my wife is asking me why i'm having another whisky.
	3:27pm thin slice: Hello djsb!
	3:28pm Handy Haversack: Ahh, more Jelly Cleaver! Break out the click-stars!
	3:28pm Michael 98145: Wow muraillesmusic.bandcamp.com
	3:28pm dreamyandseedy: jelly cleaver is one of a kind! excited for her new ep
	3:30pm Michael 98145: - this may be one of your finest opening sets yet -
	3:30pm chris in the redwoods: i've got some listening/purchasing to do: jellycleaver.bandcamp.com heartily agree with Michael 98145, Sheila!
	3:32pm Michael 98145: @chris, just spent a lovely, sunny week in Santa Cruz ...
	3:32pm steveo: new to me, and wonderful
	3:32pm captain beef fart: third martini just berceuse
	3:32pm DjLorraine: Oh the feeling of going to clickly star and seeing it already clickyed and starred.
	3:32pm maestroso: Never heard of Jelly Cleaver! Must hear more. Thanks for the introduction, Sheila!
	3:33pm chris in the redwoods: lovely, Michael. glad it was sunny for you!
	3:33pm Cooh John: Sublime sophistication, DjLorraine.
	3:33pm Handy Haversack: Goodness, what a set that was. And K8's home now!
	3:33pm michael z: It's unreal how good Black Line is. So wonderful that great music is being made these days. It restores one's faith in life,
	3:35pm Rex: Thank you for being in the darkness, sweetheart. With you.
	3:35pm Rob Kopp: Listen to the prime minister of New Zealand and I'm sure you're going to feel a little bit better.
	3:35pm katharsis: Hello Sheila and sophisticates. Sorry you couldn’t sleep.
	3:36pm eric from lake hiawatha: Apartheid was in part brought down by DIVEST. People should DIVEST from any gun or ammunition manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, proponent, supporter or publicity machine. Any and all retirement or investments should be DIVESTED
	3:37pm Seanarchx: Shrink told me that SSRIs often don't work for men or can even make conditions worse...it did for me.
	3:38pm N'Lo: @DJSheilab , the earnest voices and choices of WFMU DJs and audience is a really helpful quiet opt-in group therapy for those of us trying to keep our heads at doing anything. Some folks don’t reach out, and I am one. But hearing that other people are equally stressed helps me cope. It helps take a moment to breathe where needed.
	3:39pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, DJ Sheila B and Everyone.
	3:41pm Robm: @Shelia I refuse to watch cable news, IMOH they have really screwed up this county, woukd rather listen to the bbc and other international broadcasting so i can hear what else is going in with the world
	3:41pm Analog Nights: America is a violent place. Look at our history. But there are layers of beauty underneath, in the people and on the street. WFMU is in one of those layers, championing the good stuff.
	3:43pm Robm: @Analog nights so glad that the Djs on WFMU can give their own opinion about things
	3:43pm rx scabin: Does one measure happiness as if there is a balance with happy things on one side and unhappy thing on the other side? Or, does one measure it by the the magnitude of the things and the order in which they appear? As they say, "asking for a friend."
	3:44pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—I plan to listen to that speech. Thank you.
	3:44pm Peter in SEA: right on! @Analog
	3:44pm dreamyandseedy: sheila: glad you were at the front for at least one show! and she exceeded your expectations :)
	3:45pm djsheilab: Analog Nights—So true and beautifully stated. Thank you.
	3:46pm Seanarchx: Thanks Sheila for doing this show. This is what the world needs.
	3:47pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—It made me fall in love with the new album all over again. And some of those Tina Turner moments when she rocked out...beautiful!
	3:47pm djsheilab: Appreciate your note, thanks Seanarchx.
	3:48pm djsheilab: Hello katharsis, eric from lake hiawatha, N'Lo, captain beef fart + maestroso!
	3:49pm Rob Kopp: I'm going to keep my wife company. Bye all. Enjoy the rest of the show. Will listen later in the archives.
	3:49pm djsheilab: Take care Rob Kopp!
	3:50pm love2laf: Here late, will have to listen to the start of the show from the archives tomorrow. Happy Friday Sheila B and fellow boom-boomers!
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: "Take off your socks, baby."
	3:51pm dreamyandseedy: "i don't like socks in bed!"
	3:51pm rx scabin: Hello.
	3:51pm fred: @michael z: (apologies for missing your comment earlier) There are many ties between France and Romania, including linguistic ones. French is commonly taught in Romania, and just going to a Brancusi museum in Paris shows both languages share a lot
	3:51pm DjLorraine: Cooh John 🙋
	3:53pm Michael 98145: @fred, we also discovered many in Portugal learn French as a 2nd language ...
	3:53pm djsheilab: Hello love2laf + rx scabin!
	3:58pm G: @Michael: I've spent time in Portugal, and taught Portuguese literature in the US. -- French was the prestige language and literature in Portugal in the 1800s and early 1900s, and things haven't evolved all that much. Momentum/inertia :-)
	3:59pm fred: @Michael 98145: Many ties there too, especially in local soccer leagues. Super Bock is a major sponsor of amateur Sunday games. It got sour this year though, with more French-Portuguese support for Zemmour than expected
	4:01pm DavidL: Fantastic version of "I Love You More..."!! Have not heard Tina Britt before, and am looking forward to checking out the rest of the album.
	4:02pm michael z: Oh Sheila, You are so amazing. You can make the blues fade away....
	4:02pm Michael 98145: Ah, Petula
	4:03pm djsheilab: DavidL—It's a fine album but that song is extraordinary!
	4:03pm djsheilab: michael z—Oh I'm so happy the music is helping :)
	4:06pm love2laf: The music is like being wrapped up in a comforting blanket, and in a room where everyone is willing to share that warm blanket with every one else.
	4:06pm fred: @G: There's a big Portuguese community in France, and it has so successfully kept roots in both countries that French people with so roots there move to Portugal (and not retirees). Those boundaries are weaker than the connections
	4:06pm djsheilab: love2laf—Ahhhh that is magical!
	4:07pm rx scabin: Little Dragon! Thank you, Sheila.
	4:07pm ryansterlingvirtue: Love the new lykke. Can’t wait to see her in Harlem
	4:08pm rx scabin: It is ridiculous for me to say that what you are plying is great or perfect or wonderful; it always is.
	4:09pm rx scabin: So, next Marathon tee shirt : Ask Me About Sheila B.
	4:10pm love2laf: Yes rx scabin that's the shirt we need!
	4:10pm djsheilab: ryansterlingvirtue—It's so bare and beautiful.
	4:10pm djsheilab: That's lovely, thank you rx scabin
	4:13pm Claire from Montclair: 💫
	4:14pm Claire from Montclair: Hic
	4:15pm fred: @rx scabin: Sheila's tote bag is the only one big enough to hold my cowboy boots when I get them to the cobbler. That means a lot to me, though the cowboy boots side might not make much sense here
	4:16pm Laura: I love you Sheila
	4:16pm djsheilab: I feel the love, Laura!
	4:16pm djsheilab: Hey Claire from Montclair!
	4:17pm rx scabin: @or or also a tote bag
	4:19pm Bill (From Hoboken: Liking the single of the week.
	4:19pm G: @fred: Did not know that angle. Tx for the additional info. Do you know are Ports. folks clustered mainly in several French cities? Paris? And/or in the south?
	4:20pm fred: Then again I get a lot of scorn for loving Dolly Parton, maybe this community is more forgiving
	4:20pm Handy Haversack: I was wearing the SBB shirt at a show at Wonderville, and someone came up to me and was like, "WFMU! I love that station! Sophisticated Boom Boom is amazing! I have to listen to WFMU more!" I agreed with all points. The next week I was at a show at the Broadway and wearing my Spin Age Blasters shirt, and someone came up to me and was all, "WFMU! I love that station! Spin Age Blasters is amazing! I have to listen to WFMU more!" I once again agreed with all points and then realized about halfway in that it was the same person! I hope they are listening to WFMU more now and we can find new material at the next show.
	4:20pm djsheilab: Bill From Hoboken—Appreciate you saying so!
	4:21pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Pure sweetness! Love that it was the same person!
	4:21pm djsheilab: fred—You certainly won't get scorned here for loving Dolly Parton.
	4:23pm Quinn02: Hi Sheila, I am a week late as usual but thank you for bringing up the topic of fentanyl on your show last week. I am also concerned about that. And the Yo La Tengo song “take care”was very timely.
	4:25pm Handy Haversack: I'm wearing my SBB shirt today!
	4:25pm dreamyandseedy: forgot to say that the surface noise sounded great w/the Tina Britt song!
	4:25pm Michael 98145: WFMU Influencers !
	4:26pm fred: @G: Many around Paris, especially working in construction. But I live there, so I don't know about other areas. I'm not into soccer, but my brother is, and there's a huge influence there, which goes both ways: people play together, become friends, and move from one country to another
	4:27pm Handy Haversack: Hope Jason is hearing this!
	4:27pm Bimbus Bambus: Here in time for extreme 1989 energy
	4:27pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Yeahhhh!
	4:27pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—You know it!
	4:28pm Bimbus Bambus: 1988, I stand corrected :P
	4:28pm djsheilab: Hello Quinn02!
	4:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bryce is a mere $126 from getting his marbles back! www.gofundme.com... 🔵🟢🔴
	4:29pm MG: Ahh, Paula. Queen of the Radio during my formative years. Love it.
	4:29pm djsheilab: Ken From Hyde Park—That is music to my ears!
	4:31pm fred: @sheila: I understand the scorn though: I was the same for a long time, making fun of her looks. Then I found the station and Laura Cantrell schooled me
	4:31pm rx scabin: Aren't all snakes cold heatred?
	4:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Such a nice set. Just finally snuck in a shower; after work later I have to throw out the trash, get my mail from downstairs, and hope that I can get an Uber out to Mom that doesn't cost a kidney.
	4:32pm G: @Fred: tx again :-) They live in the Parisian banlieues, gonna guess?
	4:32pm djsheilab: fred—Her documentary is well worth watching. She talks a lot about the decision behind her looks.
	4:36pm Handy Haversack: fred, Sheila, are you talking about Paula Abdul?
	4:36pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Dolly Parton.
	4:36pm Bimbus Bambus: Love how many WFMU DJs play tracks from this album. The groove transcends shows.
	4:37pm fred: @G: I guess, but it's all I know, so I can't tell about other places. The community has many bars and restaurants too, it's a very specific mix of integration and insularity and racism too. Complicated story
	4:37pm Handy Haversack: Oh, OK. I would certainly say this community is a good place for fred's Dolly Parton love!
	4:38pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—It's lovely when an artist unites so many of us DJs!
	4:39pm Bill (from Hoboken): Wow, 17 18 19 was great.
	4:39pm _Ike_: @fred@4:31, same here. At first I didn't like Laura Cantrell's show and then it slowly pulled me in and convinced me. It used to lead out of Dave Mandl's show which was my gateway show (along with a bit of Diane Kamikaze, before she started playing more metal, and maybe a couple of others).
	4:40pm dreamyandseedy: Laura Cantrell's show is on my list of archives to explore!
	4:40pm djsheilab: Keeeeeeey change!
	4:40pm Bobby from Dayton: Owner of Skeleton Dust Records in my town turned me on to Patrice Rushin. She is wonderful!!!!!
	4:43pm Handy Haversack: JA was talking about how Patrice and some other jazzers broke into pop in the eighties. I hadn't known PR was a jazz person.
	4:47pm DanFA: Hello DjSheilaB
	4:48pm djsheilab: Bobby from Dayton—Good on her!
	4:48pm djsheilab: Hello DanFA!
	4:51pm Bimbus Bambus: A bit of an aside to say much respect to Sheila for always elevating POC voices old and new. It does not go unnoticed.
	4:51pm michael z: I loved the doowop and wished it had gone on longer but then hearing Eartha Kit made it all OK.
	4:52pm Crosby in KC: That line -"closer than the lovers in books that I read" - just classic.
	4:52pm fred: @Ike: Laura's show changed my outlook to the point I now say "I like country" not defiantly or proudly, but matter-of-factly (I know it's not a word). I point critics to her show, believing I'm doing them a favor there
	4:52pm KG.585: <3 vocal vibrato
	4:52pm Jason from Houston: Perfect timing! Just back...
	4:53pm Handy Haversack: Jason! How went the screaming? I was hoping you were tuned in for "Cold Hearted Snake."
	4:54pm djsheilab: michael z—I do sometimes wonder if I leave styles / genres too soon. Bit obsessed with the mixing n' matching :)
	4:54pm G: @fred 4:37: There's a sizable Portuguese-language community in NYC. Also as probably most know along the coast in and near Mass., fishing people originally.
	4:55pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—It is my pleasure!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Hey Jason from Houston, G + KG.585!
	4:55pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:56pm Jett: Loving what I'm hearing, hope you are doing great. So far, so good 'round here. I hope Alvy Singer and you @DjSheilaB are well. Gotta make sure I get my weekly dose of wonderfulness from you. ♥️
	4:57pm Jason from Houston: Missed it. Happy to catch Heavenly, though. Love that band soooo much.
	4:57pm djsheilab: Thanks Jett! All's as well as can be.
	4:58pm Unknown Caller: Heavenly!
	4:58pm Jason from Houston: It was okay. We were around some kind of weak chanting but then we walked over and heckled a bunch white dudes eating Chik-fil-a. LOL
	4:59pm fred: @G: Then there's Brazil, and the Japanese connection with Kobe. Many tales...
	5:00pm Handy Haversack: Ha, well done, Jason!
	5:01pm Jett: If you're still there, a big hello and hug 🫂 to @DjLorraine. Hope it's not too hot where you are.
	5:01pm steveo: Just saw this tweet, Jason, is this where you were? Impressive "vote them out" chant twitter.com...
	5:04pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Severe thunderstorm warning came on over the weather radio a few minutes ago. Some potential small hail too. Sounded as if it was down by Carteret a few minutes ago and will move up the Hudson River before breaking east towards Jackson Heights in Queens. For the next 40 minutes or so.
	5:05pm Jason from Houston: Close by there, steveo. Just behind is the convention center. We were over there screaming.
	5:05pm steveo: right on
	5:07pm KG.585: Fun 91 elevator speech! Love it thanks DJ Sheila
	5:07pm DanFA: Gibb, Parsons, and Collins, Attorneys at Law
	5:08pm PaulRobeson1922: So true!! That is how I found WFMU!! Flipping the dial in the truck in city traffic and found Hearty White!! I heard “Welcome to Miracle Nutrition” and thought oh cool a show about nutrition! I’m interested in nutrition…
	5:08pm Robm: In other words sheliab the stations that play SSDD
	5:08pm DanFA: Hooray!! You've been renewed for another season.
	5:09pm fred: @Jason: I hope those who chanted will show up at the polls and actually vote them out. I guess most won't
	5:11pm Lee B: While biking yesterday, I passed a biker who was blasting Dave the Spazz! I shouted WFMU at her...
	5:11pm djsheilab: DanFA—Hahahahahaha!!! Thank you for that!
	5:11pm djsheilab: Lee B—Yessss!!! I love hearing this!!
	5:14pm fred: Sometimes it's so important to be seen
	5:15pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Fred, I like older country from the 40's -70's. Hank Williams-Johnny Cash. I didn;t used to, it happened about ten years ago. My wife compares liking country music to liking disco polo, nobody admits it but everybody likes it.
	5:16pm steveo: "there's 2 kinds of country music; i like the good kind"
	5:16pm peter: Sheila B thank you for playing one of the most beautiful and moving songs I've ever heard maria tanases doina-heard it for the first time today
	5:17pm djsheilab: peter—I am delighted to hear this! It's such a powerful song. So glad to know it moved you so.
	5:17pm steveo: nice little storm in brooklyn now
	5:18pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sammi Smith has a great voice!
	5:18pm djsheilab: Wild Neil\|\|Peace All—What is disco polo?! Am I missing out?
	5:18pm fred: @Wild Neil: Disco still a hard no. I guess I might age into it. But no
	5:18pm Jett: I love Sammi Smith, what a great voice, and so underrated. Thanks for playing.
	5:18pm PaulRobeson1922: Before I discovered the WFMU comments board… when a song I really liked came on, I’d pull the box truck over and ask the phone ‘hey what song is this? & screen shot the image of the song title to save it!!! I remember like it was yesterday… BIG BLOOD’S “THANK U FOR THE PATH” I must have played that song 500 times in the box truck before I discovered WFMU LAND
	5:18pm peter: My friend Sanda weigl sings many of her roumanian songs on stages in nyc check her out
	5:19pm DanFA: @PaulRobeson1922, welcome aboard
	5:20pm listener james from westwood: Bee Gees!
	5:20pm DanFA: @DJSheilaB, did you watch the Bee Gees documentary?
	5:21pm Crosby in KC: Ahhh...The Brothers Gibb
	5:21pm djsheilab: DanFA—Indeed!
	5:21pm djsheilab: PaulRobeson1922—Thanks for sharing this! Love it.
	5:22pm DanFA: @djsheilab, I only watched part of it, but I thought it was pretty good.
	5:22pm Bimbus Bambus: You can really hear the beards in this song
	5:23pm Marc15: Thank you, thank you, thank you, Shiela, for playing this beautiful song by The Bee Gees!
	5:23pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—Thank you for my favorite comment of today!

	5:24pm listener james from westwood: Batty rain storming through Bergen County right now; be safe, Sheila and local listeners!
	5:25pm Marc15: I spelled your name wrong. Sorry, Sheila
	5:25pm Bimbus Bambus: @DanFA DJ Tanner from Full House :P
	5:26pm fred: Something that is unique to the station is that you can talk punk, contemporary, country, noise in the same breath and it's not even weird
	5:27pm DanFA: @Bimbus Bambus, ok I thought she looked familiar.
	5:27pm listener james from westwood: Suitable track name, this Allen/Talk Talk.
	5:28pm DanFA: This is taking me back to college. Not this version, but the song itself.
	5:28pm love2laf: Okay I'm losing it completely in this set, but the catharsis is much needed.
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: Well. Goodness.
	5:28pm PaulRobeson1922: @DanFA & djsheilab: Thank You!!
	5:28pm Rick from SC: Love this song
	5:28pm ?: Love Lily Allen! Don't hear enough of her on the radio these days.....( great show Sheila B... as usual)

	5:29pm G: @fred 4:59 -- I lived in Brasil for several years. Yep, lots of Japaneses farmers there.
	5:29pm melissa: The Lily Allen comment was from me...
	5:29pm P-90: One of my fave Orzobal songs. one of those songs no one does a bad cover of
	5:30pm djsheilab: Thanks melissa!
	5:30pm KG.585: I am a pooooor wayfaring stranger….
	5:30pm jojo: Hi everyone! Happy Friday!!
	5:30pm djsheilab: P-90—Yes, you truly can't go wrong with any version of this stellar song.
	5:32pm Crosby in KC: I didn't know how much I needed Mad World this week.
	5:32pm P-90: (“tu fais semblant’ = “you’re just pretending”)
	5:33pm eric from lake hiawatha: Sheila thanks for your success to enrich and divert. You have made my day.
	5:34pm jamesegio: Where do I know that mad world song? Was it in a movie or something?
	5:35pm djsheilab: jamesegio—It's originally by Tears For Fears. I'm sure it's been used in multiple films as well.
	5:36pm djsheilab: Happy Friday Jojo!
	5:36pm _Ike_: @fred@4:52, "matter-of-factly" actually appears in Merriam-Webster (though not all spellcheckers like it, and some people might find it overly colloquial).
	5:36pm Clermont: Yes by Mike Andrews and Gary Jules in Donnie Darko
	5:37pm jamesegio: @sheila ty
	5:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: DJ Sheila B-DiscoPolo is kinda like Italodisco. Heavy on synths, easy to dance to at weddings and parties. I think it grew out of Italdisco which spawned Disco Disco from 1976-1980. Georgio Morodor was Italdisco I believe.
	5:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Disco Polo is POLISH.
	5:39pm rx scabin: Everything is great until you get the bad news. Sounds like a song title.
	5:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Here is a gigantic Disco Polo hit. Wolnosc means freedom. www.youtube.com...
	5:42pm P-90: I heard lots of beards, not so much chest hair. I’ve never claimed to have perfect pitch.
	5:43pm ackthpfft: The wind is howling here. Tornado warning until 6:15.....
	5:43pm anne: windy here in Idaho
	5:45pm Handy Haversack: I think the kids all discovered "Mad World" when it was sung in Riverdale.
	5:46pm Bimbus Bambus: Like Donnie Darko before them
	5:46pm fred: I used the soft 'g' until a friend told me the hard 'g' was right. She didn't press it, but she's Greek
	5:46pm Jett: I've been calling him Vangelis with a soft G for what seems like forever. When he had that hit with Chariots Of Fire is when I heard people begin to call him with a hard G. I was always a fan of Aphrodite's Child, his band with Demis Roussos. @DjSheilaB
	5:47pm pgalub: Hey Sheila, Handy and everyone. "tears in rain"
	5:47pm chris in the redwoods: and there was this, Handy, one of the greatest things of 2020. Curt Smith and his daughter doing a Mad World duet: www.youtube.com...
	5:47pm DanFA: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...attack ships off the shoulder of orion
	5:48pm SheWolf: Though I never pronounced Vangelis with a hard G before, I think it sounds better that way.
	5:50pm fred: It's sick in a bad way that we only care about the right way to say his name once he's dead
	5:50pm fredr: Learned all about Vangelis throughout my 45 years listening to WFMU
	5:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Shelia, I am sure there is probably a female disco polo hit out there somewhere.
	5:51pm Bill (from Hoboken): Hoping Slowdive some back again.
	5:52pm mike: yeah, slowdive
	5:53pm fred: @Wild Neil: are you of Polish descent?
	5:54pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Randy Newman always makes me a little weepy
	5:54pm Jason from Houston: Great version.
	5:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Fred my ex wife, my current wife are Polish. I am not sure what I am. Ostensibly my name is Scottish, maybe some French, might be Jewish and possibly native american. Gotta do 23 and me. My heart is Polish.
	5:54pm shrimp boi: Thanks Sheila.
	5:54pm love2laf: Oh Sheila, it's raining, and I'm having an unashamed cry RFN
	5:54pm Handy Haversack: Occasional man! Lonely in the rain. Many thanks, Sheila! Wonderful show this week. So glad to spend the time with you. Stay Booming, Sophisticates!
	5:55pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for the awesome show today, Sheila! Fridays are usually hectic for me and I don't get to listen very often. So glad I did today.
	5:55pm P-90: Hey, REAL prog rockers always knew how to pronounce Vangelis.
	5:55pm G: Saw RN at JazzFest a few weeks ago. He kinda has trouble walking now, but can still play and sing workably :-)
	5:55pm Jason from Houston: Stay safe and sweet, good buddies. Love y'all.
	5:55pm mike: thank you sheila!
	5:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Beautiful show in harsh times Sheila. Thank you. Now I have to go and cook the fresh raviolis...
	5:56pm Jett: Thanks for another great precious gift from you today. Beards and all. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and week, stay well. @DjSheilaB
	5:56pm G: @P-90: I know many folks in the Yesfan community who did not have it right at all lol
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: Make prog, not war!
	5:56pm shrimp boi: Wow wow
	5:56pm chris in the redwoods: thank you, Sheila! take care, everyone. peace and love atchyall.
	5:57pm michael z: What a great way to end this show Sheila, the perfect occasional man X2. Thank you for an amazing show and please stay safe everyone.
	5:57pm fred: @Wild Neil: Polish spelling is challenging for sure. I could use help there
	5:57pm Bimbus Bambus: I'm partial to the Joel Grey version, but it's such a good song no matter who sings it.
	5:57pm love2laf: I wish you all well, and look forward to more amazing music that comforts and giddys next Friday.
	5:58pm Crosby in KC: Have a lovely weekend everyone.. Be kind to yourselves and to each other. We need it.
	5:58pm DanFA: Who originally wrote/performed this song?
	5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sheila. (You must have helped Bryce over the top today.)
	5:58pm Tome: great Show as Always Sheila feel good, warm the heart and soul as well !<>!
	5:59pm rx scabin: it has been a day as BAD a day AS it could be, strangely, this helps. thank you, Sheila.
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks for brightening this Friday @DJ Sheila B!
	6:00pm Julia: SO perfect for the day, time and the weather, Sheila! Tom & Julia
	6:00pm djsheilab: Julia & Tom! Lovely to see you here :) xoxo

	3:07pm dreamyandseedy: sheila, i am BREATHLESS waiting for your concert report!! i'm trying very hard to be patient XD
	3:07pm djsheilab: Hey dreamyandseedy! I'm coming off TWO Amber Mark gigs. HEAVEN!!!!!
	3:08pm fred: The opening track reminds me that some friends' voice sound way lower when we chat than when they talk to others. I took a while for that shift to happen with me
	3:08pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greets all! Slaving away at work but wanted to say Hi. Have y'all on in the background.
	3:09pm djsheilab: Afternoon U.K. Steve, Handy H., Rob, Peter in SEA, Michael 98145, RRabbitNov63, Guido from Cologne, chris in the redwoods, Cooh John, ackthpfft, fred + Threemoons!

	3:11pm djsheilab: Hello Ramblin' Ray, BH + PaulRobeson1922!
	3:11pm michael z: The melancholy of these opening songs is so apt after these two hideous weeks. There's no way to be giddy right now in America.
	3:11pm Cooh John: Irwin who can be irascible as a lead in to sophisticated Sheila.👍🎶
	3:12pm fred: @Robm: I hope today's occasional man is Jandek. There's good insanity in Texas
	3:12pm djsheilab: Robm—It all feels so dark and hopeless, I know. I hope these songs bring some comfort.
	3:13pm Michael 98145: This is loverly
	3:13pm djsheilab: michael z.—Exactly.
	3:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good Medicine.
	3:13pm Robm: @Michael Z i know but i for one am going to try @Shelia so far so good
	3:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: The power of boom compels you! Hi, Sheila and pinkies-up persuasion.
	3:14pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Sheila and all.
	3:15pm D Rok: This chord progression sounds very much like the James Bond theme.
	3:15pm listener james from westwood: Right?! And yet it was a year before Dr. No!
	3:15pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Friday.
	3:15pm djsheilab: Hello Crosby in KC, Ken from Hyde Park + Carmichael. D Rok—Very much so!
	3:16pm Cooh John: This has me swooning. Catch me if I fall.
	3:16pm maryfeaster: Thank you! Always a pleasure to listen to your program, especially these strange days.
	3:17pm WM: You should follow up the Debra Lewis song with Grace Slikc's version of Triad,
	3:17pm WM: Slick
	3:19pm djsheilab: Thank you maryfeaster! Hello WM! Listener James from Westwood, didn't mean to skip my hello to you! Hello!
	3:19pm mariano: Holy smokes, Sheila B, what an amazing run of songs. Each one a revelation. OK, back to work I go.
	3:20pm Michael 98145: yes
	3:20pm U.K. Steve: Music this beautiful can surely sooth a soul that’s hurting…
	3:20pm djsheilab: Awww thanks mariano!
	3:20pm michael z: How is it that this is in French if it's from Romania?
	3:21pm djsheilab: U.K. Steve—Soothing souls....yes!
	3:21pm DjLorraine: What did i miss? Greetings assembled listeners
	3:21pm thin slice: Maria Tanase died at 49. She sounds like she’s carrying the world weariness of a 70 year old. Amazing
	3:22pm djsheilab: michael z—Maria is from Romania, but she's singing in French on this one.
	3:22pm _Ike_: Pet a cat. Stand in sun. Touch grass. Sun Ra said: what you gonna do without yo ass? You will never die. You will simply lose your body. You will be free. ‘Til then, up the hill, absorb what’s there to see.
	3:22pm michael z: She has a really good accent.
	3:22pm Rick G: Hello Sheila and listeners. Another cloudy holiday weekend here in the PNW.
	3:23pm Michael 98145: { The doina is a Romanian musical tune style, possibly with Middle Eastern roots, customary in Romanian peasant music }
	3:23pm djsheilab: How sweet + lovely—thank you Ike.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Hello thin slice, DJLorraine + Rick G!
	3:25pm Crosby in KC: Love this spooky/haunting vibe
	3:26pm chris in the redwoods: 'Berceuse' is what i imagine my response sounds like when my wife is asking me why i'm having another whisky.
	3:27pm thin slice: Hello djsb!
	3:28pm Handy Haversack: Ahh, more Jelly Cleaver! Break out the click-stars!
	3:28pm Michael 98145: Wow muraillesmusic.bandcamp.com
	3:28pm dreamyandseedy: jelly cleaver is one of a kind! excited for her new ep
	3:30pm Michael 98145: - this may be one of your finest opening sets yet -
	3:30pm chris in the redwoods: i've got some listening/purchasing to do: jellycleaver.bandcamp.com heartily agree with Michael 98145, Sheila!
	3:32pm Michael 98145: @chris, just spent a lovely, sunny week in Santa Cruz ...
	3:32pm steveo: new to me, and wonderful
	3:32pm captain beef fart: third martini just berceuse
	3:32pm DjLorraine: Oh the feeling of going to clickly star and seeing it already clickyed and starred.
	3:32pm maestroso: Never heard of Jelly Cleaver! Must hear more. Thanks for the introduction, Sheila!
	3:33pm chris in the redwoods: lovely, Michael. glad it was sunny for you!
	3:33pm Cooh John: Sublime sophistication, DjLorraine.
	3:33pm Handy Haversack: Goodness, what a set that was. And K8's home now!
	3:33pm michael z: It's unreal how good Black Line is. So wonderful that great music is being made these days. It restores one's faith in life,
	3:35pm Rex: Thank you for being in the darkness, sweetheart. With you.
	3:35pm Rob Kopp: Listen to the prime minister of New Zealand and I'm sure you're going to feel a little bit better.
	3:35pm katharsis: Hello Sheila and sophisticates. Sorry you couldn’t sleep.
	3:36pm eric from lake hiawatha: Apartheid was in part brought down by DIVEST. People should DIVEST from any gun or ammunition manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, proponent, supporter or publicity machine. Any and all retirement or investments should be DIVESTED
	3:37pm Seanarchx: Shrink told me that SSRIs often don't work for men or can even make conditions worse...it did for me.
	3:38pm N'Lo: @DJSheilab , the earnest voices and choices of WFMU DJs and audience is a really helpful quiet opt-in group therapy for those of us trying to keep our heads at doing anything. Some folks don’t reach out, and I am one. But hearing that other people are equally stressed helps me cope. It helps take a moment to breathe where needed.
	3:39pm rx scabin: Good afternoon, DJ Sheila B and Everyone.
	3:41pm Robm: @Shelia I refuse to watch cable news, IMOH they have really screwed up this county, woukd rather listen to the bbc and other international broadcasting so i can hear what else is going in with the world
	3:41pm Analog Nights: America is a violent place. Look at our history. But there are layers of beauty underneath, in the people and on the street. WFMU is in one of those layers, championing the good stuff.
	3:43pm Robm: @Analog nights so glad that the Djs on WFMU can give their own opinion about things
	3:43pm rx scabin: Does one measure happiness as if there is a balance with happy things on one side and unhappy thing on the other side? Or, does one measure it by the the magnitude of the things and the order in which they appear? As they say, "asking for a friend."
	3:44pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—I plan to listen to that speech. Thank you.
	3:44pm Peter in SEA: right on! @Analog
	3:44pm dreamyandseedy: sheila: glad you were at the front for at least one show! and she exceeded your expectations :)
	3:45pm djsheilab: Analog Nights—So true and beautifully stated. Thank you.
	3:46pm Seanarchx: Thanks Sheila for doing this show. This is what the world needs.
	3:47pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—It made me fall in love with the new album all over again. And some of those Tina Turner moments when she rocked out...beautiful!
	3:47pm djsheilab: Appreciate your note, thanks Seanarchx.
	3:48pm djsheilab: Hello katharsis, eric from lake hiawatha, N'Lo, captain beef fart + maestroso!
	3:49pm Rob Kopp: I'm going to keep my wife company. Bye all. Enjoy the rest of the show. Will listen later in the archives.
	3:49pm djsheilab: Take care Rob Kopp!
	3:50pm love2laf: Here late, will have to listen to the start of the show from the archives tomorrow. Happy Friday Sheila B and fellow boom-boomers!
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: "Take off your socks, baby."
	3:51pm dreamyandseedy: "i don't like socks in bed!"
	3:51pm rx scabin: Hello.
	3:51pm fred: @michael z: (apologies for missing your comment earlier) There are many ties between France and Romania, including linguistic ones. French is commonly taught in Romania, and just going to a Brancusi museum in Paris shows both languages share a lot
	3:51pm DjLorraine: Cooh John 🙋
	3:53pm Michael 98145: @fred, we also discovered many in Portugal learn French as a 2nd language ...
	3:53pm djsheilab: Hello love2laf + rx scabin!
	3:58pm G: @Michael: I've spent time in Portugal, and taught Portuguese literature in the US. -- French was the prestige language and literature in Portugal in the 1800s and early 1900s, and things haven't evolved all that much. Momentum/inertia :-)
	3:59pm fred: @Michael 98145: Many ties there too, especially in local soccer leagues. Super Bock is a major sponsor of amateur Sunday games. It got sour this year though, with more French-Portuguese support for Zemmour than expected
	4:01pm DavidL: Fantastic version of "I Love You More..."!! Have not heard Tina Britt before, and am looking forward to checking out the rest of the album.
	4:02pm michael z: Oh Sheila, You are so amazing. You can make the blues fade away....
	4:02pm Michael 98145: Ah, Petula
	4:03pm djsheilab: DavidL—It's a fine album but that song is extraordinary!
	4:03pm djsheilab: michael z—Oh I'm so happy the music is helping :)
	4:06pm love2laf: The music is like being wrapped up in a comforting blanket, and in a room where everyone is willing to share that warm blanket with every one else.
	4:06pm fred: @G: There's a big Portuguese community in France, and it has so successfully kept roots in both countries that French people with so roots there move to Portugal (and not retirees). Those boundaries are weaker than the connections
	4:06pm djsheilab: love2laf—Ahhhh that is magical!
	4:07pm rx scabin: Little Dragon! Thank you, Sheila.
	4:07pm ryansterlingvirtue: Love the new lykke. Can’t wait to see her in Harlem
	4:08pm rx scabin: It is ridiculous for me to say that what you are plying is great or perfect or wonderful; it always is.
	4:09pm rx scabin: So, next Marathon tee shirt : Ask Me About Sheila B.
	4:10pm love2laf: Yes rx scabin that's the shirt we need!
	4:10pm djsheilab: ryansterlingvirtue—It's so bare and beautiful.
	4:10pm djsheilab: That's lovely, thank you rx scabin
	4:13pm Claire from Montclair: 💫
	4:14pm Claire from Montclair: Hic
	4:15pm fred: @rx scabin: Sheila's tote bag is the only one big enough to hold my cowboy boots when I get them to the cobbler. That means a lot to me, though the cowboy boots side might not make much sense here
	4:16pm Laura: I love you Sheila
	4:16pm djsheilab: I feel the love, Laura!
	4:16pm djsheilab: Hey Claire from Montclair!
	4:17pm rx scabin: @or or also a tote bag
	4:19pm Bill (From Hoboken: Liking the single of the week.
	4:19pm G: @fred: Did not know that angle. Tx for the additional info. Do you know are Ports. folks clustered mainly in several French cities? Paris? And/or in the south?
	4:20pm fred: Then again I get a lot of scorn for loving Dolly Parton, maybe this community is more forgiving
	4:20pm Handy Haversack: I was wearing the SBB shirt at a show at Wonderville, and someone came up to me and was like, "WFMU! I love that station! Sophisticated Boom Boom is amazing! I have to listen to WFMU more!" I agreed with all points. The next week I was at a show at the Broadway and wearing my Spin Age Blasters shirt, and someone came up to me and was all, "WFMU! I love that station! Spin Age Blasters is amazing! I have to listen to WFMU more!" I once again agreed with all points and then realized about halfway in that it was the same person! I hope they are listening to WFMU more now and we can find new material at the next show.
	4:20pm djsheilab: Bill From Hoboken—Appreciate you saying so!
	4:21pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Pure sweetness! Love that it was the same person!
	4:21pm djsheilab: fred—You certainly won't get scorned here for loving Dolly Parton.
	4:23pm Quinn02: Hi Sheila, I am a week late as usual but thank you for bringing up the topic of fentanyl on your show last week. I am also concerned about that. And the Yo La Tengo song “take care”was very timely.
	4:25pm Handy Haversack: I'm wearing my SBB shirt today!
	4:25pm dreamyandseedy: forgot to say that the surface noise sounded great w/the Tina Britt song!
	4:25pm Michael 98145: WFMU Influencers !
	4:26pm fred: @G: Many around Paris, especially working in construction. But I live there, so I don't know about other areas. I'm not into soccer, but my brother is, and there's a huge influence there, which goes both ways: people play together, become friends, and move from one country to another
	4:27pm Handy Haversack: Hope Jason is hearing this!
	4:27pm Bimbus Bambus: Here in time for extreme 1989 energy
	4:27pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Yeahhhh!
	4:27pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—You know it!
	4:28pm Bimbus Bambus: 1988, I stand corrected :P
	4:28pm djsheilab: Hello Quinn02!
	4:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bryce is a mere $126 from getting his marbles back! www.gofundme.com... 🔵🟢🔴
	4:29pm MG: Ahh, Paula. Queen of the Radio during my formative years. Love it.
	4:29pm djsheilab: Ken From Hyde Park—That is music to my ears!
	4:31pm fred: @sheila: I understand the scorn though: I was the same for a long time, making fun of her looks. Then I found the station and Laura Cantrell schooled me
	4:31pm rx scabin: Aren't all snakes cold heatred?
	4:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Such a nice set. Just finally snuck in a shower; after work later I have to throw out the trash, get my mail from downstairs, and hope that I can get an Uber out to Mom that doesn't cost a kidney.
	4:32pm G: @Fred: tx again :-) They live in the Parisian banlieues, gonna guess?
	4:32pm djsheilab: fred—Her documentary is well worth watching. She talks a lot about the decision behind her looks.
	4:36pm Handy Haversack: fred, Sheila, are you talking about Paula Abdul?
	4:36pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Dolly Parton.
	4:36pm Bimbus Bambus: Love how many WFMU DJs play tracks from this album. The groove transcends shows.
	4:37pm fred: @G: I guess, but it's all I know, so I can't tell about other places. The community has many bars and restaurants too, it's a very specific mix of integration and insularity and racism too. Complicated story
	4:37pm Handy Haversack: Oh, OK. I would certainly say this community is a good place for fred's Dolly Parton love!
	4:38pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—It's lovely when an artist unites so many of us DJs!
	4:39pm Bill (from Hoboken): Wow, 17 18 19 was great.
	4:39pm _Ike_: @fred@4:31, same here. At first I didn't like Laura Cantrell's show and then it slowly pulled me in and convinced me. It used to lead out of Dave Mandl's show which was my gateway show (along with a bit of Diane Kamikaze, before she started playing more metal, and maybe a couple of others).
	4:40pm dreamyandseedy: Laura Cantrell's show is on my list of archives to explore!
	4:40pm djsheilab: Keeeeeeey change!
	4:40pm Bobby from Dayton: Owner of Skeleton Dust Records in my town turned me on to Patrice Rushin. She is wonderful!!!!!
	4:43pm Handy Haversack: JA was talking about how Patrice and some other jazzers broke into pop in the eighties. I hadn't known PR was a jazz person.
	4:47pm DanFA: Hello DjSheilaB
	4:48pm djsheilab: Bobby from Dayton—Good on her!
	4:48pm djsheilab: Hello DanFA!
	4:51pm Bimbus Bambus: A bit of an aside to say much respect to Sheila for always elevating POC voices old and new. It does not go unnoticed.
	4:51pm michael z: I loved the doowop and wished it had gone on longer but then hearing Eartha Kit made it all OK.
	4:52pm Crosby in KC: That line -"closer than the lovers in books that I read" - just classic.
	4:52pm fred: @Ike: Laura's show changed my outlook to the point I now say "I like country" not defiantly or proudly, but matter-of-factly (I know it's not a word). I point critics to her show, believing I'm doing them a favor there
	4:52pm KG.585: <3 vocal vibrato
	4:52pm Jason from Houston: Perfect timing! Just back...
	4:53pm Handy Haversack: Jason! How went the screaming? I was hoping you were tuned in for "Cold Hearted Snake."
	4:54pm djsheilab: michael z—I do sometimes wonder if I leave styles / genres too soon. Bit obsessed with the mixing n' matching :)
	4:54pm G: @fred 4:37: There's a sizable Portuguese-language community in NYC. Also as probably most know along the coast in and near Mass., fishing people originally.
	4:55pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—It is my pleasure!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Hey Jason from Houston, G + KG.585!
	4:55pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:56pm Jett: Loving what I'm hearing, hope you are doing great. So far, so good 'round here. I hope Alvy Singer and you @DjSheilaB are well. Gotta make sure I get my weekly dose of wonderfulness from you. ♥️
	4:57pm Jason from Houston: Missed it. Happy to catch Heavenly, though. Love that band soooo much.
	4:57pm djsheilab: Thanks Jett! All's as well as can be.
	4:58pm Unknown Caller: Heavenly!
	4:58pm Jason from Houston: It was okay. We were around some kind of weak chanting but then we walked over and heckled a bunch white dudes eating Chik-fil-a. LOL
	4:59pm fred: @G: Then there's Brazil, and the Japanese connection with Kobe. Many tales...
	5:00pm Handy Haversack: Ha, well done, Jason!
	5:01pm Jett: If you're still there, a big hello and hug 🫂 to @DjLorraine. Hope it's not too hot where you are.
	5:01pm steveo: Just saw this tweet, Jason, is this where you were? Impressive "vote them out" chant twitter.com...
	5:04pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Severe thunderstorm warning came on over the weather radio a few minutes ago. Some potential small hail too. Sounded as if it was down by Carteret a few minutes ago and will move up the Hudson River before breaking east towards Jackson Heights in Queens. For the next 40 minutes or so.
	5:05pm Jason from Houston: Close by there, steveo. Just behind is the convention center. We were over there screaming.
	5:05pm steveo: right on
	5:07pm KG.585: Fun 91 elevator speech! Love it thanks DJ Sheila
	5:07pm DanFA: Gibb, Parsons, and Collins, Attorneys at Law
	5:08pm PaulRobeson1922: So true!! That is how I found WFMU!! Flipping the dial in the truck in city traffic and found Hearty White!! I heard “Welcome to Miracle Nutrition” and thought oh cool a show about nutrition! I’m interested in nutrition…
	5:08pm Robm: In other words sheliab the stations that play SSDD
	5:08pm DanFA: Hooray!! You've been renewed for another season.
	5:09pm fred: @Jason: I hope those who chanted will show up at the polls and actually vote them out. I guess most won't
	5:11pm Lee B: While biking yesterday, I passed a biker who was blasting Dave the Spazz! I shouted WFMU at her...
	5:11pm djsheilab: DanFA—Hahahahahaha!!! Thank you for that!
	5:11pm djsheilab: Lee B—Yessss!!! I love hearing this!!
	5:14pm fred: Sometimes it's so important to be seen
	5:15pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Fred, I like older country from the 40's -70's. Hank Williams-Johnny Cash. I didn;t used to, it happened about ten years ago. My wife compares liking country music to liking disco polo, nobody admits it but everybody likes it.
	5:16pm steveo: "there's 2 kinds of country music; i like the good kind"
	5:16pm peter: Sheila B thank you for playing one of the most beautiful and moving songs I've ever heard maria tanases doina-heard it for the first time today
	5:17pm djsheilab: peter—I am delighted to hear this! It's such a powerful song. So glad to know it moved you so.
	5:17pm steveo: nice little storm in brooklyn now
	5:18pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sammi Smith has a great voice!
	5:18pm djsheilab: Wild Neil\|\|Peace All—What is disco polo?! Am I missing out?
	5:18pm fred: @Wild Neil: Disco still a hard no. I guess I might age into it. But no
	5:18pm Jett: I love Sammi Smith, what a great voice, and so underrated. Thanks for playing.
	5:18pm PaulRobeson1922: Before I discovered the WFMU comments board… when a song I really liked came on, I’d pull the box truck over and ask the phone ‘hey what song is this? & screen shot the image of the song title to save it!!! I remember like it was yesterday… BIG BLOOD’S “THANK U FOR THE PATH” I must have played that song 500 times in the box truck before I discovered WFMU LAND
	5:18pm peter: My friend Sanda weigl sings many of her roumanian songs on stages in nyc check her out
	5:19pm DanFA: @PaulRobeson1922, welcome aboard
	5:20pm listener james from westwood: Bee Gees!
	5:20pm DanFA: @DJSheilaB, did you watch the Bee Gees documentary?
	5:21pm Crosby in KC: Ahhh...The Brothers Gibb
	5:21pm djsheilab: DanFA—Indeed!
	5:21pm djsheilab: PaulRobeson1922—Thanks for sharing this! Love it.
	5:22pm DanFA: @djsheilab, I only watched part of it, but I thought it was pretty good.
	5:22pm Bimbus Bambus: You can really hear the beards in this song
	5:23pm Marc15: Thank you, thank you, thank you, Shiela, for playing this beautiful song by The Bee Gees!
	5:23pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—Thank you for my favorite comment of today!
	5:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Three occasional men in one shot!
	5:24pm DanFA: @Bimbus Bambus, who is your avatar pic of?
	5:24pm djsheilab: Marc15—You are so welcome!!!
	5:24pm listener james from westwood: Batty rain storming through Bergen County right now; be safe, Sheila and local listeners!
	5:25pm Marc15: I spelled your name wrong. Sorry, Sheila
	5:25pm Bimbus Bambus: @DanFA DJ Tanner from Full House :P
	5:26pm fred: Something that is unique to the station is that you can talk punk, contemporary, country, noise in the same breath and it's not even weird
	5:27pm DanFA: @Bimbus Bambus, ok I thought she looked familiar.
	5:27pm listener james from westwood: Suitable track name, this Allen/Talk Talk.
	5:28pm DanFA: This is taking me back to college. Not this version, but the song itself.
	5:28pm love2laf: Okay I'm losing it completely in this set, but the catharsis is much needed.
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: Well. Goodness.
	5:28pm PaulRobeson1922: @DanFA & djsheilab: Thank You!!
	5:28pm Rick from SC: Love this song
	5:28pm ?: Love Lily Allen! Don't hear enough of her on the radio these days.....( great show Sheila B... as usual)
	5:29pm PaulRobeson1922: : (
	5:29pm G: @fred 4:59 -- I lived in Brasil for several years. Yep, lots of Japaneses farmers there.
	5:29pm melissa: The Lily Allen comment was from me...
	5:29pm P-90: One of my fave Orzobal songs. one of those songs no one does a bad cover of
	5:30pm djsheilab: Thanks melissa!
	5:30pm KG.585: I am a pooooor wayfaring stranger….
	5:30pm jojo: Hi everyone! Happy Friday!!
	5:30pm djsheilab: P-90—Yes, you truly can't go wrong with any version of this stellar song.
	5:32pm Crosby in KC: I didn't know how much I needed Mad World this week.
	5:32pm P-90: (“tu fais semblant’ = “you’re just pretending”)
	5:33pm eric from lake hiawatha: Sheila thanks for your success to enrich and divert. You have made my day.
	5:34pm jamesegio: Where do I know that mad world song? Was it in a movie or something?
	5:35pm djsheilab: jamesegio—It's originally by Tears For Fears. I'm sure it's been used in multiple films as well.
	5:36pm djsheilab: Happy Friday Jojo!
	5:36pm _Ike_: @fred@4:52, "matter-of-factly" actually appears in Merriam-Webster (though not all spellcheckers like it, and some people might find it overly colloquial).
	5:36pm Clermont: Yes by Mike Andrews and Gary Jules in Donnie Darko
	5:37pm jamesegio: @sheila ty
	5:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: DJ Sheila B-DiscoPolo is kinda like Italodisco. Heavy on synths, easy to dance to at weddings and parties. I think it grew out of Italdisco which spawned Disco Disco from 1976-1980. Georgio Morodor was Italdisco I believe.
	5:38pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Disco Polo is POLISH.
	5:39pm rx scabin: Everything is great until you get the bad news. Sounds like a song title.
	5:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Here is a gigantic Disco Polo hit. Wolnosc means freedom. www.youtube.com...
	5:42pm P-90: I heard lots of beards, not so much chest hair. I’ve never claimed to have perfect pitch.
	5:43pm ackthpfft: The wind is howling here. Tornado warning until 6:15.....
	5:43pm anne: windy here in Idaho
	5:45pm Handy Haversack: I think the kids all discovered "Mad World" when it was sung in Riverdale.
	5:46pm Bimbus Bambus: Like Donnie Darko before them
	5:46pm fred: I used the soft 'g' until a friend told me the hard 'g' was right. She didn't press it, but she's Greek
	5:46pm Jett: I've been calling him Vangelis with a soft G for what seems like forever. When he had that hit with Chariots Of Fire is when I heard people begin to call him with a hard G. I was always a fan of Aphrodite's Child, his band with Demis Roussos. @DjSheilaB
	5:47pm pgalub: Hey Sheila, Handy and everyone. "tears in rain"
	5:47pm chris in the redwoods: and there was this, Handy, one of the greatest things of 2020. Curt Smith and his daughter doing a Mad World duet: www.youtube.com...
	5:47pm DanFA: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...attack ships off the shoulder of orion
	5:48pm SheWolf: Though I never pronounced Vangelis with a hard G before, I think it sounds better that way.
	5:50pm fred: It's sick in a bad way that we only care about the right way to say his name once he's dead
	5:50pm fredr: Learned all about Vangelis throughout my 45 years listening to WFMU
	5:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Shelia, I am sure there is probably a female disco polo hit out there somewhere.
	5:51pm Bill (from Hoboken): Hoping Slowdive some back again.
	5:52pm mike: yeah, slowdive
	5:53pm fred: @Wild Neil: are you of Polish descent?
	5:54pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Randy Newman always makes me a little weepy
	5:54pm Jason from Houston: Great version.
	5:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Fred my ex wife, my current wife are Polish. I am not sure what I am. Ostensibly my name is Scottish, maybe some French, might be Jewish and possibly native american. Gotta do 23 and me. My heart is Polish.
	5:54pm shrimp boi: Thanks Sheila.
	5:54pm love2laf: Oh Sheila, it's raining, and I'm having an unashamed cry RFN
	5:54pm Handy Haversack: Occasional man! Lonely in the rain. Many thanks, Sheila! Wonderful show this week. So glad to spend the time with you. Stay Booming, Sophisticates!
	5:55pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for the awesome show today, Sheila! Fridays are usually hectic for me and I don't get to listen very often. So glad I did today.
	5:55pm P-90: Hey, REAL prog rockers always knew how to pronounce Vangelis.
	5:55pm G: Saw RN at JazzFest a few weeks ago. He kinda has trouble walking now, but can still play and sing workably :-)
	5:55pm Jason from Houston: Stay safe and sweet, good buddies. Love y'all.
	5:55pm mike: thank you sheila!
	5:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Beautiful show in harsh times Sheila. Thank you. Now I have to go and cook the fresh raviolis...
	5:56pm Jett: Thanks for another great precious gift from you today. Beards and all. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and week, stay well. @DjSheilaB
	5:56pm G: @P-90: I know many folks in the Yesfan community who did not have it right at all lol
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: Make prog, not war!
	5:56pm shrimp boi: Wow wow
	5:56pm chris in the redwoods: thank you, Sheila! take care, everyone. peace and love atchyall.
	5:57pm michael z: What a great way to end this show Sheila, the perfect occasional man X2. Thank you for an amazing show and please stay safe everyone.
	5:57pm fred: @Wild Neil: Polish spelling is challenging for sure. I could use help there
	5:57pm Bimbus Bambus: I'm partial to the Joel Grey version, but it's such a good song no matter who sings it.
	5:57pm love2laf: I wish you all well, and look forward to more amazing music that comforts and giddys next Friday.
	5:58pm Crosby in KC: Have a lovely weekend everyone.. Be kind to yourselves and to each other. We need it.
	5:58pm DanFA: Who originally wrote/performed this song?
	5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sheila. (You must have helped Bryce over the top today.)
	5:58pm Tome: great Show as Always Sheila feel good, warm the heart and soul as well !<>!
	5:59pm rx scabin: it has been a day as BAD a day AS it could be, strangely, this helps. thank you, Sheila.
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks for brightening this Friday @DJ Sheila B!
	6:00pm Julia: SO perfect for the day, time and the weather, Sheila! Tom & Julia
	6:00pm djsheilab: Julia & Tom! Lovely to see you here :) xoxo
	6:00pm dreamyandseedy: thank you sheila!
	6:01pm Julia: Always
	6:01pm djsheilab: Thank you for being with me today, dear listeners! You are the best! I shall see you next week. Happy holiday weekend to you all. Xoxox
