	3:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How weird the Beatle boys sang this? Don't think too much...
	3:17pm The Contessa: Hey @Robb, I did wonder…
	3:17pm djsheilab: My god! What was I thinking starting off my first set with all songs under 2 minutes?!!

	3:21pm Rob Kopp: 2 minutes; that's what you get when you play records from the 60's. PS: last Sunday my daughter and her girlfriend finally bought a record player
	3:21pm Cooh John: @Rob Kopp: Who put out that split 45?
	3:23pm Rob Kopp: RCA-Victor 47-85201. It's very expensive I'm afraid.
	3:23pm βrian: Of course you can play them at 16 RPM, too.
	3:23pm Cheri Pi: Konichiwa!
	3:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, all! The message about bread in today's show title reminded me to search out why my favoritest bread isn't showing up in the stores anymore. Turns out Mastroianni Brothers Bakery shut down after like 93 years. www.timesunion.com... [sad face] I must search out a new bakery, it appears.
	3:25pm Michael 98145: .. on the telephone. salute to The Nerves.
	3:27pm chicken: Booooo next song
	3:28pm Wild Neil: PEACE all boom boomites. I am in the market for a turntable to use with my Tivoli Radio Two and CD player...I need a phono preamp for the AUX line level input too...cheap good belt drive would be ideal. with a composite tonearm.
	3:29pm Linda Lee: beautiful first set SheilaB!
	3:29pm Wild Neil: Just go to the FMA....other DJs do that!
	3:29pm SeanG: more coco morier!!
	3:30pm Cheri Pi: your passion is contagious
	3:31pm chicken: Lol sorry I just couldn't take the lyrics
	3:32pm Jeff: @Wild Neil: this phono preamp has a reputation for being surprisingly good schiit for the money: schiit.com...
	3:33pm cee: luv the sheila b radio program on wfmu
	3:33pm Matt in Hillsborough: yeah yeah me too
	3:35pm Mick: This is great! Is that an accordion, bandoneon, or...?
	3:38pm Adrian in London: Ah, this is one of my favourite songs of the year. When will she be on the show? prepares HUGE list of questions ;-)
	3:39pm Rob Kopp: Not so authentic as Noosh Afarin, but when I was on holiday in Turkey, one beach bar was playing a beautiful Dylan cover all the time: One more cup of coffee by Sertab. It's on the compilation MAsked & Anonymous
	3:42pm rbxbx: El Perro Del Mar track <3
	3:44pm Becky: Trying to Northern Soul dance in a rolling chair in my office!
	3:44pm JtotheK: enjoying this metros track!
	3:47pm JtotheK: and this Little Ann!
	3:47pm LpCoverLover: Loving the show today Sheila! Thanks!
	3:47pm Rob Kopp: Little Ann must be late 60's?
	3:47pm marnie: So glad you stayed up and made this show. Sometimes we get stuck - just summon up your inner metal lingerie power!
	3:48pm Rob Kopp: @marnie: it surely must have been the whiskey
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ann may be Little - but her voice pins me to the wall.
	3:50pm meh-face: I totally thought the honeys were singing "the one you gave head"
	3:51pm marnie: whiskey opens that box, but only if you're going there anyway
	3:54pm marnie: @Cheri-Pi ; hi babydoll! playing the rake wednesday night
	3:54pm cee: hey i love this song. haven't heard it in a bit (porque te vas)
	3:59pm Cecile: Bjork sounds a lot like Cindy Wilson on this.
	4:00pm fred: I was also reminded of the Blake Babies, for some reason
	4:02pm JtotheK: i keep hoping to find that metros 45 in a dollar bin. someday.
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: Sheila! I tuned in just in time to hear "Porque Te Vas"! Good to know my Jeanette-dar is calibrated and working!
	4:05pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and all others in the Boom Boom Room. In 4 hours, I will be ON VACATION!
	4:05pm Cecile: Much industrial design touches my soul.
	4:05pm Cecile: where you going, Carm?
	4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's not just Music - more & more is increasing owned by fewer & fewer - even if it appears to be the same things on the surface - or changes @ a pace that we don't immediately notice. Absolutely.
	4:06pm Rob Kopp: I have to admit: I prefer a beautiful song over bread
	4:06pm TehBadDr: Hello Sheila B! Loving the show, and am very much agreeing with your diatribe!
	4:07pm Linda Lee: right on Sheila B.
	4:07pm Carmichael: Heya Cecile, I'll be birthday celebratin' in Lake Tahoe and Portland Oregon. The child unit has to return to college ...
	4:07pm Cecile: DH Lawrence never had the bread at AKi's Bakery. Just saying.
	4:07pm TehBadDr: Right on Rev Rabbit!
	4:07pm brandon: thanks Sheila B, no one else on WFMU, even the talkshows don't talk about real things like you do, it's great to hear
	4:08pm Linda Lee: drugstores & banks. exactly. one necessitates the other. lovely culture. thank you for enriching us dear!
	4:08pm Cecile: so a lovely roadtrip.
	4:08pm Rob Kopp: Look forward to the next 90 minutes
	4:08pm Cecile: As a pragmatist, substitute illogical for beauty for me.
	4:08pm Dean: No David Gates, then, I take it?
	4:08pm fred: Beauty is resilient. As long as you're open to it, you'll find it all around. Commerce can't do anything about it, which probably explains why they're at odds
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Companies have always wanted to sell records & make money - but they also used to know about & cared about Music. Now - the company is owned by a larger co. & that by a yet larger one. & Music means nothing to them if it doesn't Profit.
	4:10pm Linda Lee: might need to repair that song title darlin' :-)
	4:10pm MONEYBAG$: I did not get this Tracey Ullman song as a 9 year old Def Leppard fan
	4:11pm Cecile: I think she sings to picture of Paul McCartney in the vid, IIRC.
	4:11pm Jeff: I've had a great fondness for Tracey Ullman ever since her variety show.
	4:12pm Cecile: that show was ahead of its time.
	4:12pm Cecile: The Led Zeppelins do a nice version of this.
	4:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Let's hear it for birthday road trips! Which day is your birthday?
	4:13pm brandon: when i say "talkshows" i guess im only thinking if dave hill's worthless show... haha
	4:13pm Gleb: Sheila, thank you, for making this evening in ghetto in Saint-Petersburg, Russia better with your emotions and music.
	4:16pm Rob Kopp: Thanks to Sheila I heard Toni Britt for the very first time (Who was that in show #29)
	4:18pm Linda Lee: Marvin Gaye had one of the most beautiful voices in popular music. sad, sad.
	4:19pm Cecile: I knew someone who found out the news while he was on the air on WCBN when it happened and he burst into tears on-air. I don't blame him.
	4:20pm Carmichael: @Gaylord: August 12th, which I share with Mark Knopfler and George Hamilton ...
	4:20pm Linda Lee: senseless, sick. such a horrible shame.
	4:21pm Rob Kopp: This must be Chip Taylor
	4:21pm ChrisB.: Love this collaboration!
	4:22pm Linda Lee: beauty is that which opens the heart. i haven't seen a better definition.
	4:23pm Rob Kopp: Such a beautiful song
	4:23pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Nice. I share mine with Lucille Ball, Robert Mitchum and Andy Warhol.
	4:25pm Cecile: I used to think it was cool that I shared mine with Clint Eastwood and Homicide Life on the Street's Kyle Secor. Now I'm just happy Kyle Secor and I share a birthday.
	4:25pm ChrisB.: The Goddam Dave Hill Show is a comedy program.
	4:25pm Linda Lee: come on now Sheila ~ this is definitely time for Johnny Rivers! :-)
	4:25pm Rob Kopp: P.F. Sloan was one of the best Anerican songwriters
	4:26pm Cecile: yes! Johnny.
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's always time for Johnny Rivers.
	4:26pm Carmichael: Just read the PF Sloan bio. Very interesting.
	4:27pm dfb: "feels like coagulating '
	4:27pm Cecile: Barry McGuire played my HS auditorium in Australia in 1976. It was weird and kind of sad. His original stuff wasn't bad at all, but no one was listening. But then again, I don't think we would have listened unless it was Queen or Abba or someone.
	4:27pm Rob Kopp: see pwedding.home.xs4all.nl...
	4:28pm fred: People Like Us has a wonderful song using this and I wish I never saw the sunshine, I think it's called Eve of Sunshine, and it's hauntingly beautiful
	4:28pm JakeGould: Eve o' destrucshun!
	4:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Cecile: Your presence was missed by Cheri Pi and me yesterday.
	4:30pm Cecile: I KNOW. I was very sad. Someday. I hope you had a wonderful time!
	4:31pm Carmichael: McGuire plays a more-than-cameo role in The President's Analyst. He's one of the hippies who takes in James Coburn. Hilarious scene as he sings "Changes" in a field, oblivious to the secret agents killing one another around him.
	4:31pm fred: Here it is: vimeo.com...
	4:32pm Cecile: See you guys in about three minutes.
	4:32pm Gaylord Fields: Oh, we had a great time! It was like getting together with a long-lost friend!
	4:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Behold the majestic corpse flower in all its beauty: youtu.be...
	4:33pm Cecile: Exactly!!!
	4:36pm Rob Kopp: Love it. Only knew Put yourself in my place
	4:37pm Cecile: someone did a horrible cover of this in the 70s. I can't remember who.
	4:38pm Cecile: I was happy we had an old dude in our hometown who would play his 45 collection Sunday nights on the radio.
	4:38pm Cecile: there I got to hear the original.
	4:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Cecile - Bonnie Pointer, maybe? www.secondhandsongs.com...
	4:39pm northguineahills: Julee Cruise!
	4:40pm fred: I was so into Twin Peaks back then...
	4:40pm Matt in Hillsborough: oh god yes B) (great set!)
	4:40pm Cheri Pi: Heya Gaylord! I had a blast too!
	4:40pm djsheilab: A moment to say hey to you all. Thanks for being here! I'm really enjoying playing these records for you. And whoever mentioned David Gates @Dean? He'll definitely be included here!
	4:41pm Cheri Pi: WOW tht's awesom Marnie, I will see if I can make it!!!
	4:42pm Cheri Pi: *e
	4:42pm fred: I still remember this episode, the switch was chlling
	4:42pm Cecile: maybe, Ken. I don't know why I didn't like her version. I liked the Pointer Sisters fine. Maybe I was drawing a teenage line in the sand.
	4:43pm Greg from ZONE 5: SO GOOD. Should be in a David Lynch movie if it hasn't been already...
	4:43pm Dean: @djsheilab: I was joking, of course, riffing on Bread, but I guess D.H. Lawrence couldn't have known! Gates strove for beauty, that's for sure.
	4:43pm chris: i still miss twin peaks, fred... sigh...
	4:43pm Cecile: David Gates writes terrifying, stalkery songs. His creepiness is underreported.
	4:43pm ChrisB.: I adore this song.
	4:44pm Cecile: yes!
	4:44pm djsheilab: I love David Gates!
	4:44pm chris: i need a martini and a smoke for this... love it.
	4:46pm Rob Kopp: same chord structure as My way?
	4:46pm ChrisB.: @greg: yes. It is used in an episode of Twin Peaks. Juleee is in the band playing at the roadhouse.
	4:46pm dfb: nice swing to it
	4:46pm fred: @chris: I think whisky would be called for
	4:46pm slugluv1313: what chris said! Sheila B., you are killing it this afternoon! PERFECT! Jullee Cruise segueing into Sinatra :)
	4:47pm Dean: "Lost without your Love" includes the line, "Oh, darling, can't you see?," which arguably inspired "Oh, can't you see you belong to me?" "Every Breath You Take" is the stalkeriest of stalkery songs. More stalk than celery!
	4:47pm Cecile: dang, play the creepy Bread song about him reading his woman's diary and her not being so much into him. That's as creepy as Ambrosia's "How Much I Feel"
	4:47pm Gaylord Fields: @Cheri Pi: All true (and now publicly declared).
	4:48pm Dean: Never let her go = You belong to me? Maybe... Said it before, props to Ambrosia for spinning a song out of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
	4:48pm Gaylord Fields: DG! [swoon]
	4:49pm Cecile: I like some of their songs, but How Much I Feel comes from a dark, dark place.
	4:49pm Rob Kopp: You should do this more often, Sheila. By far the best Sophisticated Boom Boom show I've heard until now and I've listend to all the previous 53 ones completely!
	4:50pm chris: the title of the album seems to imply that, eventually, he let her go
	4:50pm fred: @ChrisB.: and it suddenly turns into "the wold spins" as Leland kills Maddy
	4:51pm Cecile: Shorter "How Much I Feel: "Just wanted you to know that since you dumped me, I have been unhappily married and fantasizing about you. No big, though".
	4:51pm Dean: Except "Goodbye doesn't mean forever..."
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to find the words for that Gates arrangement/production...sonic analgesic or valium or something sounds too derogatory...
	4:53pm Adrian in London: This has been such a lovely show.
	4:55pm slugluv1313: yeah, i recall looking up the lyrics to "How Much I Feel" prompted by a discussion here -- CREEPY is RIGHT!!! (weird, the song was a hit when i was . . . in 1st year of college? but was not really into it, guess that is why i did not really notice the lyrics)
	4:55pm Michael 98145: what Adrian said
	4:56pm slugluv1313: my one and only high school boyfriend -- who was kinda knows as the tough-guy "school hood" -- LOVED Bread, when we would be on the phone he would sometimes play the records and sing along with them to me . . . !
	4:57pm Frank Zaatar: Zahavah Ben! What a grace for a show about beauty!
	4:58pm Barnaby: Great show Sheila!
	4:58pm Frank Zaatar: I meant what a great choice. But grace will work too.
	4:58pm Michael 98145: i see i'm gonna have to -revisit- this episode
	5:01pm fred: I have a CD of Zehava Ben doing the best covers of Inta Omri I've ever heard. That's such a tough "song" to cover, and she nails it
	5:02pm ChrisB.: @Fred: God. I forgot about that. Creepiest thing I had ever seen on television.
	5:04pm Linda Lee: i do love these sides from my early childhood time (60 - 65).
	5:04pm Carmichael: I always thought it funny that the roadhouse togh guys would stand around and swoon to Julee Cruise and band.
	5:05pm Cecile: I saw half a dozen jocks and metal-heads sing along to Fast Car in a bar- even singing the guitar solos!
	5:06pm fred: @Carm: In heaven, everything is fine. That doesn't mean it has to make sense
	5:09pm ChrisB.: Bernadette was the little girl in the Castro convertible commercial who shows everyone that it's so easy to pull a bed out of your couch, a little child can do it. Never knew she had a singing career.
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminded of Chrissie Hynde saying she met some racist 'tough' guy or such who was all soppy over the song 'The Great Pretender' - by of course African-Americans. She said - 'yeah - I'll have some of that' - hence, The Pretenders.
	5:11pm Adrian in London: I presume you've all read Allison Anders' blog about buying Greta Garbo's record collection at auction. She owned No Other, and was on the coer!
	5:12pm Fred R: Love Gene Clark! Excellent show again Sheila, thanks!
	5:13pm djsheilab: Thanks for all your comments on this show! Xoxoxoxo
	5:15pm IFisher: Echoing the unanimous decision, this show is bliss!
	5:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: A small favor to ask, Sheila: It'd be great if the archive can get posted before the tape-delayed Olympics opening ceremony begins. I plan to have the TV sound off and this show would be a good soundtrack.
	5:17pm Carmichael: Re: Allison Anders: gretasrecords.tumblr.com
	5:19pm Adrian in London: Thanks Carmichael. I was too lazy to Google it ;-)
	5:20pm The Contessa: so love this!
	5:20pm Dean: There's a Big Jay McNeely 7" among 'em! Damn, that's cool.
	5:20pm Dean: Correction: That was a subsequent post.
	5:22pm Dean: Correction correction: Nope, it was hers.
	5:22pm MONEYBAG$: My mom had this on an Arista's greatest hits tape with Air Supply, Al Stewart, Barry Manilow etc.
	5:25pm steve: lovin the show Sheila
	5:26pm ga01: +1
	5:26pm steve: wow your dad must be cool!
	5:28pm The Contessa: Well done dad! Lovely!
	5:28pm Dean: NDR Big Band did a curious record with pianist/arranger Alan Broadbent.
	5:29pm Rob Kopp: Must be wonderful to discuss music with your dad, like it's wonderful to discuss music with your daughter
	5:30pm JtotheK: @Dean I enjoy the Big Jay McNeely 'Back Shack Track' 45.
	5:32pm Dean: Before BJM's career revived I heard him play a few times at a local bar on the east end of LA County. Blew me away. One of the best New Years Eves ever, too.
	5:33pm The Contessa: Hon, your 'A's are falling off Roberta!
	5:34pm Rob Kopp: The Beach Boys ???
	5:34pm djsheilab: @The Contessa HAHA! I just love how you put that. Fixed! Making all sorts of mistakes on the playlist today. Too distracted by the music :)
	5:35pm The Contessa: @Sheila, thought you might be sobbing quietly to yourself and have blurred vision
	5:36pm fred: I'm so distracted too: I'm rereading Colson Whitehead's The Intuitionist and it's such a great read
	5:37pm Carmichael: Sorta. Carl Wilson's solo alum with lots of Beach Boys and friends in the mix.
	5:40pm dfb: good one dad
	5:40pm chalmers: Amanda Peterson, RIP
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: Usually I'm busy with PLATENBOEK 4, while listening to Sophistocated Boom Boom, but today I haven't written a single word and only have been listening to the radio.
	5:41pm The Contessa: We love your dad!
	5:41pm JtotheK: herzog did an AMA somewhat recently, he advised to "read read read read read" and recommended The Peregrine by J.A. Baker.
	5:41pm Dean: That reminds me: one of the most beauty-full songs is the Bee Gee's "Fanny."
	5:43pm Cecile: NO. Math is important. And good math is artful. Both the math and musical parts of the brain feed into each other.
	5:44pm Cecile: The writer CP Snow felt like art and science couldn't exist successfully without each other.
	5:44pm Dean: Amen. As a buddy of mine with a mind for science recently put it, "STEM isn't that hard." We don't need to immerse kids in STEM at the expense of Humanities. Math, @Cecile, is precisely where one of my heroes, Leon Battista Alberti, finds the bridge between the sciences and the arts. He's right. Just look at his work.
	5:45pm Dean: Alas, Snow was prescient, at least from the time of "Two Cultures" to the present.
	5:46pm djsheilab: @Dean I TOTALLY agree!
	5:46pm Cecile: yes, and you know he always wanted the world to prove him wrong.
	5:46pm fred: For a long time, math was considered part of philosophy, not science
	5:47pm Cecile: Exactly, Fred. And as a sometime artist, I found and still geometry one of the most pleasing classes.
	5:47pm djsheilab: @Fred @Cecile Of course math is important, but they would never get rid of math programs, whereas they're happy to let the arts go. That is a huge mistake.
	5:48pm Cecile: still find
	5:48pm Cecile: Well, maybe it's up to us to do what advertisers have done - sell the intangible to the unimaginative.
	5:49pm maestroso: Totally agree djsheilab. Wonderful show, by the way.
	5:49pm fred: I'm a software developer, and I often call my trade "applied philosophy". And I truly believe that
	5:49pm djsheilab: @Cecile YES!
	5:50pm Cecile: anyhoo, good food for thought, have a good week everyone.
	5:51pm Carmichael: Patented Boston guitar sound ...
	5:51pm steve: yeah! love the surprise rock radio songs
	5:51pm fred: @Sheila: If they think they can get rid of arts and keep logic and math alive, they're wrong
	5:51pm Dean: Certainly applied logic, @fred. But there's also a design aspect to it, an aim for a kind of elegance, albeit according to very peculiar criteria.
	5:52pm The Contessa: @Ken, have a lovely w/e, thanks for reminding me about the Olympics! Sheila's show made me totally forget about it
	5:53pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: You know, I don't think I've ever heard The Grateful Dead or Sting on FMU...
	5:53pm alan from sacto: Thanks Sheila! Great show!
	5:53pm fred: @Dean: it's about building a language, even on a small scale. A language without a culture is a dead prop
	5:53pm Carmichael: Utopia's The Very Last Time would be a good anthem rocker to follow that Outfield song. Burning it into my DJ brain ...
	5:56pm Dean: I'll just leave this here, @fred: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/24/utopian-for-beginners It's about a friend of mine from elementary school. You'll see the connection to language and software. He constructed a language (to be spoken, not for programming) designed to be optimally efficient. He's now creating progressive rock songs for the language, I kid you not. His singer is David Peterson, mentioned in the article.
	5:57pm Michael 98145: Thank you once again, DJ Sheila
	5:58pm The Contessa: NOOOOOO! Don't stop! But thank you!
	5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, The Contessa. Happy weekend to you, too!
	5:58pm ga01: Thx Sheila, nice program. : )
	5:59pm Adrian in London: Goodnight! xx
	6:00pm fred: @Dean: thanks!
	6:00pm Michael 98145: on to "Kokoro" !
	6:01pm Jim Price: Great, uplifting show!

	3:21pm Cooh John: @Rob Kopp: Who put out that split 45?
	3:23pm Rob Kopp: RCA-Victor 47-85201. It's very expensive I'm afraid.
	3:23pm βrian: Of course you can play them at 16 RPM, too.
	3:23pm Cheri Pi: Konichiwa!
	3:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, all! The message about bread in today's show title reminded me to search out why my favoritest bread isn't showing up in the stores anymore. Turns out Mastroianni Brothers Bakery shut down after like 93 years. www.timesunion.com... [sad face] I must search out a new bakery, it appears.
	3:25pm Michael 98145: .. on the telephone. salute to The Nerves.
	3:27pm chicken: Booooo next song
	3:28pm Wild Neil: PEACE all boom boomites. I am in the market for a turntable to use with my Tivoli Radio Two and CD player...I need a phono preamp for the AUX line level input too...cheap good belt drive would be ideal. with a composite tonearm.
	3:29pm Linda Lee: beautiful first set SheilaB!
	3:29pm Wild Neil: Just go to the FMA....other DJs do that!
	3:29pm SeanG: more coco morier!!
	3:30pm Cheri Pi: your passion is contagious
	3:31pm chicken: Lol sorry I just couldn't take the lyrics
	3:32pm Jeff: @Wild Neil: this phono preamp has a reputation for being surprisingly good schiit for the money: schiit.com...
	3:33pm cee: luv the sheila b radio program on wfmu
	3:33pm Matt in Hillsborough: yeah yeah me too
	3:35pm Mick: This is great! Is that an accordion, bandoneon, or...?
	3:38pm Adrian in London: Ah, this is one of my favourite songs of the year. When will she be on the show? prepares HUGE list of questions ;-)
	3:39pm Rob Kopp: Not so authentic as Noosh Afarin, but when I was on holiday in Turkey, one beach bar was playing a beautiful Dylan cover all the time: One more cup of coffee by Sertab. It's on the compilation MAsked & Anonymous
	3:42pm rbxbx: El Perro Del Mar track <3
	3:44pm Becky: Trying to Northern Soul dance in a rolling chair in my office!
	3:44pm JtotheK: enjoying this metros track!
	3:47pm JtotheK: and this Little Ann!
	3:47pm LpCoverLover: Loving the show today Sheila! Thanks!
	3:47pm Rob Kopp: Little Ann must be late 60's?
	3:47pm marnie: So glad you stayed up and made this show. Sometimes we get stuck - just summon up your inner metal lingerie power!
	3:48pm Rob Kopp: @marnie: it surely must have been the whiskey
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ann may be Little - but her voice pins me to the wall.
	3:50pm meh-face: I totally thought the honeys were singing "the one you gave head"
	3:51pm marnie: whiskey opens that box, but only if you're going there anyway
	3:54pm marnie: @Cheri-Pi ; hi babydoll! playing the rake wednesday night
	3:54pm cee: hey i love this song. haven't heard it in a bit (porque te vas)
	3:59pm Cecile: Bjork sounds a lot like Cindy Wilson on this.
	4:00pm fred: I was also reminded of the Blake Babies, for some reason
	4:02pm JtotheK: i keep hoping to find that metros 45 in a dollar bin. someday.
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: Sheila! I tuned in just in time to hear "Porque Te Vas"! Good to know my Jeanette-dar is calibrated and working!
	4:05pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and all others in the Boom Boom Room. In 4 hours, I will be ON VACATION!
	4:05pm Cecile: Much industrial design touches my soul.
	4:05pm Cecile: where you going, Carm?
	4:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's not just Music - more & more is increasing owned by fewer & fewer - even if it appears to be the same things on the surface - or changes @ a pace that we don't immediately notice. Absolutely.
	4:06pm Rob Kopp: I have to admit: I prefer a beautiful song over bread
	4:06pm TehBadDr: Hello Sheila B! Loving the show, and am very much agreeing with your diatribe!
	4:07pm Linda Lee: right on Sheila B.
	4:07pm Carmichael: Heya Cecile, I'll be birthday celebratin' in Lake Tahoe and Portland Oregon. The child unit has to return to college ...
	4:07pm Cecile: DH Lawrence never had the bread at AKi's Bakery. Just saying.
	4:07pm TehBadDr: Right on Rev Rabbit!
	4:07pm brandon: thanks Sheila B, no one else on WFMU, even the talkshows don't talk about real things like you do, it's great to hear
	4:08pm Linda Lee: drugstores & banks. exactly. one necessitates the other. lovely culture. thank you for enriching us dear!
	4:08pm Cecile: so a lovely roadtrip.
	4:08pm Rob Kopp: Look forward to the next 90 minutes
	4:08pm Cecile: As a pragmatist, substitute illogical for beauty for me.
	4:08pm Dean: No David Gates, then, I take it?
	4:08pm fred: Beauty is resilient. As long as you're open to it, you'll find it all around. Commerce can't do anything about it, which probably explains why they're at odds
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Companies have always wanted to sell records & make money - but they also used to know about & cared about Music. Now - the company is owned by a larger co. & that by a yet larger one. & Music means nothing to them if it doesn't Profit.
	4:10pm Linda Lee: might need to repair that song title darlin' :-)
	4:10pm MONEYBAG$: I did not get this Tracey Ullman song as a 9 year old Def Leppard fan
	4:11pm Cecile: I think she sings to picture of Paul McCartney in the vid, IIRC.
	4:11pm Jeff: I've had a great fondness for Tracey Ullman ever since her variety show.
	4:12pm Cecile: that show was ahead of its time.
	4:12pm Cecile: The Led Zeppelins do a nice version of this.
	4:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Let's hear it for birthday road trips! Which day is your birthday?
	4:13pm brandon: when i say "talkshows" i guess im only thinking if dave hill's worthless show... haha
	4:13pm Gleb: Sheila, thank you, for making this evening in ghetto in Saint-Petersburg, Russia better with your emotions and music.
	4:16pm Rob Kopp: Thanks to Sheila I heard Toni Britt for the very first time (Who was that in show #29)
	4:18pm Linda Lee: Marvin Gaye had one of the most beautiful voices in popular music. sad, sad.
	4:19pm Cecile: I knew someone who found out the news while he was on the air on WCBN when it happened and he burst into tears on-air. I don't blame him.
	4:20pm Carmichael: @Gaylord: August 12th, which I share with Mark Knopfler and George Hamilton ...
	4:20pm Linda Lee: senseless, sick. such a horrible shame.
	4:21pm Rob Kopp: This must be Chip Taylor
	4:21pm ChrisB.: Love this collaboration!
	4:22pm Linda Lee: beauty is that which opens the heart. i haven't seen a better definition.
	4:23pm Rob Kopp: Such a beautiful song
	4:23pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Nice. I share mine with Lucille Ball, Robert Mitchum and Andy Warhol.
	4:25pm Cecile: I used to think it was cool that I shared mine with Clint Eastwood and Homicide Life on the Street's Kyle Secor. Now I'm just happy Kyle Secor and I share a birthday.
	4:25pm ChrisB.: The Goddam Dave Hill Show is a comedy program.
	4:25pm Linda Lee: come on now Sheila ~ this is definitely time for Johnny Rivers! :-)
	4:25pm Rob Kopp: P.F. Sloan was one of the best Anerican songwriters
	4:26pm Cecile: yes! Johnny.
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's always time for Johnny Rivers.
	4:26pm Carmichael: Just read the PF Sloan bio. Very interesting.
	4:27pm dfb: "feels like coagulating '
	4:27pm Cecile: Barry McGuire played my HS auditorium in Australia in 1976. It was weird and kind of sad. His original stuff wasn't bad at all, but no one was listening. But then again, I don't think we would have listened unless it was Queen or Abba or someone.
	4:27pm Rob Kopp: see pwedding.home.xs4all.nl...
	4:28pm fred: People Like Us has a wonderful song using this and I wish I never saw the sunshine, I think it's called Eve of Sunshine, and it's hauntingly beautiful
	4:28pm JakeGould: Eve o' destrucshun!
	4:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Cecile: Your presence was missed by Cheri Pi and me yesterday.
	4:30pm Cecile: I KNOW. I was very sad. Someday. I hope you had a wonderful time!
	4:31pm Carmichael: McGuire plays a more-than-cameo role in The President's Analyst. He's one of the hippies who takes in James Coburn. Hilarious scene as he sings "Changes" in a field, oblivious to the secret agents killing one another around him.
	4:31pm fred: Here it is: vimeo.com...
	4:32pm Cecile: See you guys in about three minutes.
	4:32pm Gaylord Fields: Oh, we had a great time! It was like getting together with a long-lost friend!
	4:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Behold the majestic corpse flower in all its beauty: youtu.be...
	4:33pm Cecile: Exactly!!!
	4:36pm Rob Kopp: Love it. Only knew Put yourself in my place
	4:37pm Cecile: someone did a horrible cover of this in the 70s. I can't remember who.
	4:38pm Cecile: I was happy we had an old dude in our hometown who would play his 45 collection Sunday nights on the radio.
	4:38pm Cecile: there I got to hear the original.
	4:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Cecile - Bonnie Pointer, maybe? www.secondhandsongs.com...
	4:39pm northguineahills: Julee Cruise!
	4:40pm fred: I was so into Twin Peaks back then...
	4:40pm Matt in Hillsborough: oh god yes B) (great set!)
	4:40pm Cheri Pi: Heya Gaylord! I had a blast too!
	4:40pm djsheilab: A moment to say hey to you all. Thanks for being here! I'm really enjoying playing these records for you. And whoever mentioned David Gates @Dean? He'll definitely be included here!
	4:41pm Cheri Pi: WOW tht's awesom Marnie, I will see if I can make it!!!
	4:42pm Cheri Pi: *e
	4:42pm fred: I still remember this episode, the switch was chlling
	4:42pm Cecile: maybe, Ken. I don't know why I didn't like her version. I liked the Pointer Sisters fine. Maybe I was drawing a teenage line in the sand.
	4:43pm Greg from ZONE 5: SO GOOD. Should be in a David Lynch movie if it hasn't been already...
	4:43pm Dean: @djsheilab: I was joking, of course, riffing on Bread, but I guess D.H. Lawrence couldn't have known! Gates strove for beauty, that's for sure.
	4:43pm chris: i still miss twin peaks, fred... sigh...
	4:43pm Cecile: David Gates writes terrifying, stalkery songs. His creepiness is underreported.
	4:43pm ChrisB.: I adore this song.
	4:44pm Cecile: yes!
	4:44pm djsheilab: I love David Gates!
	4:44pm chris: i need a martini and a smoke for this... love it.
	4:46pm Rob Kopp: same chord structure as My way?
	4:46pm ChrisB.: @greg: yes. It is used in an episode of Twin Peaks. Juleee is in the band playing at the roadhouse.
	4:46pm dfb: nice swing to it
	4:46pm fred: @chris: I think whisky would be called for
	4:46pm slugluv1313: what chris said! Sheila B., you are killing it this afternoon! PERFECT! Jullee Cruise segueing into Sinatra :)
	4:47pm Dean: "Lost without your Love" includes the line, "Oh, darling, can't you see?," which arguably inspired "Oh, can't you see you belong to me?" "Every Breath You Take" is the stalkeriest of stalkery songs. More stalk than celery!
	4:47pm Cecile: dang, play the creepy Bread song about him reading his woman's diary and her not being so much into him. That's as creepy as Ambrosia's "How Much I Feel"
	4:47pm Gaylord Fields: @Cheri Pi: All true (and now publicly declared).
	4:48pm Dean: Never let her go = You belong to me? Maybe... Said it before, props to Ambrosia for spinning a song out of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
	4:48pm Gaylord Fields: DG! [swoon]
	4:49pm Cecile: I like some of their songs, but How Much I Feel comes from a dark, dark place.
	4:49pm Rob Kopp: You should do this more often, Sheila. By far the best Sophisticated Boom Boom show I've heard until now and I've listend to all the previous 53 ones completely!
	4:50pm chris: the title of the album seems to imply that, eventually, he let her go
	4:50pm fred: @ChrisB.: and it suddenly turns into "the wold spins" as Leland kills Maddy
	4:51pm Cecile: Shorter "How Much I Feel: "Just wanted you to know that since you dumped me, I have been unhappily married and fantasizing about you. No big, though".
	4:51pm Dean: Except "Goodbye doesn't mean forever..."
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to find the words for that Gates arrangement/production...sonic analgesic or valium or something sounds too derogatory...
	4:53pm Adrian in London: This has been such a lovely show.
	4:55pm slugluv1313: yeah, i recall looking up the lyrics to "How Much I Feel" prompted by a discussion here -- CREEPY is RIGHT!!! (weird, the song was a hit when i was . . . in 1st year of college? but was not really into it, guess that is why i did not really notice the lyrics)
	4:55pm Michael 98145: what Adrian said
	4:56pm slugluv1313: my one and only high school boyfriend -- who was kinda knows as the tough-guy "school hood" -- LOVED Bread, when we would be on the phone he would sometimes play the records and sing along with them to me . . . !
	4:57pm Frank Zaatar: Zahavah Ben! What a grace for a show about beauty!
	4:58pm Barnaby: Great show Sheila!
	4:58pm Frank Zaatar: I meant what a great choice. But grace will work too.
	4:58pm Michael 98145: i see i'm gonna have to -revisit- this episode
	5:01pm fred: I have a CD of Zehava Ben doing the best covers of Inta Omri I've ever heard. That's such a tough "song" to cover, and she nails it
	5:02pm ChrisB.: @Fred: God. I forgot about that. Creepiest thing I had ever seen on television.
	5:04pm Linda Lee: i do love these sides from my early childhood time (60 - 65).
	5:04pm Carmichael: I always thought it funny that the roadhouse togh guys would stand around and swoon to Julee Cruise and band.
	5:05pm Cecile: I saw half a dozen jocks and metal-heads sing along to Fast Car in a bar- even singing the guitar solos!
	5:06pm fred: @Carm: In heaven, everything is fine. That doesn't mean it has to make sense
	5:09pm ChrisB.: Bernadette was the little girl in the Castro convertible commercial who shows everyone that it's so easy to pull a bed out of your couch, a little child can do it. Never knew she had a singing career.
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminded of Chrissie Hynde saying she met some racist 'tough' guy or such who was all soppy over the song 'The Great Pretender' - by of course African-Americans. She said - 'yeah - I'll have some of that' - hence, The Pretenders.
	5:11pm Adrian in London: I presume you've all read Allison Anders' blog about buying Greta Garbo's record collection at auction. She owned No Other, and was on the coer!
	5:12pm Fred R: Love Gene Clark! Excellent show again Sheila, thanks!
	5:13pm djsheilab: Thanks for all your comments on this show! Xoxoxoxo
	5:15pm IFisher: Echoing the unanimous decision, this show is bliss!
	5:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: A small favor to ask, Sheila: It'd be great if the archive can get posted before the tape-delayed Olympics opening ceremony begins. I plan to have the TV sound off and this show would be a good soundtrack.
	5:17pm Carmichael: Re: Allison Anders: gretasrecords.tumblr.com
	5:19pm Adrian in London: Thanks Carmichael. I was too lazy to Google it ;-)
	5:20pm The Contessa: so love this!
	5:20pm Dean: There's a Big Jay McNeely 7" among 'em! Damn, that's cool.
	5:20pm Dean: Correction: That was a subsequent post.
	5:22pm Dean: Correction correction: Nope, it was hers.
	5:22pm MONEYBAG$: My mom had this on an Arista's greatest hits tape with Air Supply, Al Stewart, Barry Manilow etc.
	5:25pm steve: lovin the show Sheila
	5:26pm ga01: +1
	5:26pm steve: wow your dad must be cool!
	5:28pm The Contessa: Well done dad! Lovely!
	5:28pm Dean: NDR Big Band did a curious record with pianist/arranger Alan Broadbent.
	5:29pm Rob Kopp: Must be wonderful to discuss music with your dad, like it's wonderful to discuss music with your daughter
	5:30pm JtotheK: @Dean I enjoy the Big Jay McNeely 'Back Shack Track' 45.
	5:32pm Dean: Before BJM's career revived I heard him play a few times at a local bar on the east end of LA County. Blew me away. One of the best New Years Eves ever, too.
	5:33pm The Contessa: Hon, your 'A's are falling off Roberta!
	5:34pm Rob Kopp: The Beach Boys ???
	5:34pm djsheilab: @The Contessa HAHA! I just love how you put that. Fixed! Making all sorts of mistakes on the playlist today. Too distracted by the music :)
	5:35pm The Contessa: @Sheila, thought you might be sobbing quietly to yourself and have blurred vision
	5:36pm fred: I'm so distracted too: I'm rereading Colson Whitehead's The Intuitionist and it's such a great read
	5:37pm Carmichael: Sorta. Carl Wilson's solo alum with lots of Beach Boys and friends in the mix.
	5:40pm dfb: good one dad
	5:40pm chalmers: Amanda Peterson, RIP
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: Usually I'm busy with PLATENBOEK 4, while listening to Sophistocated Boom Boom, but today I haven't written a single word and only have been listening to the radio.
	5:41pm The Contessa: We love your dad!
	5:41pm JtotheK: herzog did an AMA somewhat recently, he advised to "read read read read read" and recommended The Peregrine by J.A. Baker.
	5:41pm Dean: That reminds me: one of the most beauty-full songs is the Bee Gee's "Fanny."
	5:43pm Cecile: NO. Math is important. And good math is artful. Both the math and musical parts of the brain feed into each other.
	5:44pm Cecile: The writer CP Snow felt like art and science couldn't exist successfully without each other.
	5:44pm Dean: Amen. As a buddy of mine with a mind for science recently put it, "STEM isn't that hard." We don't need to immerse kids in STEM at the expense of Humanities. Math, @Cecile, is precisely where one of my heroes, Leon Battista Alberti, finds the bridge between the sciences and the arts. He's right. Just look at his work.
	5:45pm Dean: Alas, Snow was prescient, at least from the time of "Two Cultures" to the present.
	5:46pm djsheilab: @Dean I TOTALLY agree!
	5:46pm Cecile: yes, and you know he always wanted the world to prove him wrong.
	5:46pm fred: For a long time, math was considered part of philosophy, not science
	5:47pm Cecile: Exactly, Fred. And as a sometime artist, I found and still geometry one of the most pleasing classes.
	5:47pm djsheilab: @Fred @Cecile Of course math is important, but they would never get rid of math programs, whereas they're happy to let the arts go. That is a huge mistake.
	5:48pm Cecile: still find
	5:48pm Cecile: Well, maybe it's up to us to do what advertisers have done - sell the intangible to the unimaginative.
	5:49pm maestroso: Totally agree djsheilab. Wonderful show, by the way.
	5:49pm fred: I'm a software developer, and I often call my trade "applied philosophy". And I truly believe that
	5:49pm djsheilab: @Cecile YES!
	5:50pm Cecile: anyhoo, good food for thought, have a good week everyone.
	5:51pm Carmichael: Patented Boston guitar sound ...
	5:51pm steve: yeah! love the surprise rock radio songs
	5:51pm fred: @Sheila: If they think they can get rid of arts and keep logic and math alive, they're wrong
	5:51pm Dean: Certainly applied logic, @fred. But there's also a design aspect to it, an aim for a kind of elegance, albeit according to very peculiar criteria.
	5:52pm The Contessa: @Ken, have a lovely w/e, thanks for reminding me about the Olympics! Sheila's show made me totally forget about it
	5:53pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: You know, I don't think I've ever heard The Grateful Dead or Sting on FMU...
	5:53pm alan from sacto: Thanks Sheila! Great show!
	5:53pm fred: @Dean: it's about building a language, even on a small scale. A language without a culture is a dead prop
	5:53pm Carmichael: Utopia's The Very Last Time would be a good anthem rocker to follow that Outfield song. Burning it into my DJ brain ...
	5:56pm Dean: I'll just leave this here, @fred: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/24/utopian-for-beginners It's about a friend of mine from elementary school. You'll see the connection to language and software. He constructed a language (to be spoken, not for programming) designed to be optimally efficient. He's now creating progressive rock songs for the language, I kid you not. His singer is David Peterson, mentioned in the article.
	5:57pm Michael 98145: Thank you once again, DJ Sheila
	5:58pm The Contessa: NOOOOOO! Don't stop! But thank you!
	5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, The Contessa. Happy weekend to you, too!
	5:58pm ga01: Thx Sheila, nice program. : )
	5:59pm Adrian in London: Goodnight! xx
	6:00pm fred: @Dean: thanks!
	6:00pm Michael 98145: on to "Kokoro" !
	6:01pm Jim Price: Great, uplifting show!
