	3:00pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila and everyone
	3:01pm Kevin-san: Let's Boom!
	3:02pm The Contessa: Hello Sheila! Hello everyone!
	3:02pm Adrian in London: Good evening Sheila, everyone…
	3:02pm Brian Cat: Hello Sheila and everyone of the boomer persuasion.
	3:03pm spodiodi: Ahoy!
	3:03pm Adrian in London: I heard a BBC radio doc about this film, and the day after it had won Best Picture Oscar, the phone operators at the studio were instructed to answer: "Hello, M Gigi M"!
	3:03pm Behemoth: I'm totally cool with this song; no creep factor.
	3:04pm The Contessa: Leslie Caron's autobiography is great if you haven't read it…
	3:04pm fred: Good afternoon Sheila and all. @Brownwyn: there's not much of overlap between Bryce and Sheila listeners, it's somehow heartwarming to see you on both playlists
	3:04pm Threemoons: I am somewhat creeped out by this song. Then again the whole MOVIE Gigi freaked me out.
	3:04pm The Oscar: Afternoon all!
	3:07pm fred: @Threemoons: Maurice Chevalier was creepy, and that's putting it mildly
	3:07pm BabyBear: Checking in!
	3:08pm Bobby: Sheila B and all: I am with you.
	3:08pm ?: What do you expect from a guy who speaks of the pompitous of love?
	3:09pm Dean: Ugh. That was me^ re: Maurice.
	3:10pm Rob Kopp: I'm starting to recognize her voice :-)
	3:11pm /mzzm\: Hiiii Sbieee crauzuie troll listener here bu'luv'yr sho'jus'sayin'
	3:11pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, sheilab, and boom boom room regulars, and the odd flâneur who has happened by.
	3:11pm Rob Kopp: How was the concert last week?
	3:11pm djsheilab: Hello Friday friends! Thought Maurice Chevalier's sweet yet creepy ode to little girls made for the perfect opener, dontcha think? :)
	3:12pm djsheilab: @Rob Kopp UNBELIEVABLY GREAT!!!!! One of the best shows I've seen in years!
	3:13pm dfb: hey everyone - im going to a wedding tonight - i hope your djing shelia?
	3:13pm Mark in Toronto: Sheila, just read your little feature article in July Record Collector. Now I feel better informed, knowing your history and how your musical tastes were shaped!
	3:14pm Behemoth: I needed this after the pallet spirit cleansing last radio block. Oh Wfmu.. even the Russian Devil cat Behemoth approves.
	3:14pm melinda: Nice selections.
	3:15pm JakeGould: Looking forward to this!
	3:15pm djsheilab: Thanks @melinda!
	3:16pm Adrian in London: Oh, and here comes the grey cloud to French music: Carla Bruni is to release an album of Abba songs. In English. Harry Hill glance to camera
	3:19pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian: I like this cover of a John Prine song by Carla Bruni & Marianne Faithfull: www.youtube.com...
	3:19pm Threemoons: Oooh nice shift here.
	3:20pm Behemoth: Fountain Head?
	3:20pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London Aye yaye yaye. That is very odd. No one will ever top Wing's collection of ABBA covers.
	3:20pm Adrian in London: 1. Yes, I know she's Italian but she sings in French 2. I liked her cover of Absolute Beginners and I don't care who knows it. 3. But…
	3:21pm dale: love the electronicky production on this jane weaver song!
	3:21pm spodiodi: Henry Hill glance
	3:21pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Better to be First Lady of Our Hearts than First Lady of France, right?
	3:21pm annie: hey!! i made it!! out walking in that oppressive heat... blech... ...back home.. hot bath soon....
	3:22pm Adrian in London: @spodiodi I like Harry Hill but I also like Henry Hill. But which is better? There's only one way to find out…
	3:22pm fred: @Adrian: An Italian model who married a French politician who exploited racism and xenophobia will release covers of Swedish songs in English. The only part that's wrong with this is "racism and xenophobia". But she's been rich all her life, she doesn't care about such trifles.
	3:22pm spodiodi: Hungry Hungry Hippo-off?
	3:23pm Parq: What Threemoons said. These are all really nifty segs.
	3:23pm Waking Bacon: The Devil left the pig. :) Loving the show, I'm rolling in mud, so happy.
	3:23pm djsheilab: @dale The whole Jane Weaver is wonderful + electronicky!
	3:24pm djsheilab: Thanks @Parq + @Threemoons!
	3:25pm JakeGould: @spodiodi: You should be banned for forcing images of hippo starvation on us listeners. Shame!
	3:25pm djsheilab: Thanks @Waking Bacon :)
	3:25pm Waking Bacon: Truly "Sophisticated Boom Boom"; perfect name.
	3:26pm Rob Kopp: @Sheila: I see on Discogs that Natalia's last see now also exists as a CD+DVD set. Don't know if the DVD is live, but when it is: a good memory?
	3:28pm dale: just looked her up on youtube - modern kosmology shows all of her vintage synths and such.
	3:29pm spodiodi: If it were up to me, JakeGould, there would be a head of cabbage in every Hippo-pot.
	3:29pm spodiodi: mmmm www.youtube.com...
	3:31pm spodiodi: Sorry about the bars/confinement imagery...
	3:31pm Waking Bacon: Oh I know your voice. Im terrible with names. Love this show. Aces
	3:32pm Waking Bacon: its all OM the hum and buzz of all the world
	3:34pm Waking Bacon: Who needs Monmouth. lol j/k
	3:34pm RevRabNov63: OmNamaShivaya MadnessMadness we call it gladness.
	3:35pm Waking Bacon: Ty @rev :)
	3:35pm RevRabNov63: Om Namah Shivaya . I blue it. Cause He's blue.
	3:37pm Rob Kopp: In French it's pronounced with a "K" as well. It's with a c and not with a c circonflex
	3:37pm TDK60: I couldn't believe it, the underground subway platform was cooler than outdoors (in upper Manhattan) -- so humid one could melt.
	3:38pm fred: Not appropriate for this show maybe, but Dust To Digital is having a sale on their Washington Phillips reissue until the end of the month
	3:40pm Waking Bacon: OH this voice!!!!! .... ommmmmm .... another planet
	3:40pm frozen_peas: She's amazing!
	3:41pm RevRabNov63: Mahalia is where Aretha goes to pray, I think...
	3:41pm Tom from Maplewood: That's what separates us from the rest of the world - you are willing to fly 3000 miles to see a show. To some that might seem a little crazy. Not to us!! You are ONE OF US! . And that's one of the reasons why we love you.
	3:41pm djsheilab: @RevRabNov63 Love that!
	3:42pm djsheilab: Awwww....thanks @Tom from Maplewood! I AM SO EXCITED.
	3:44pm Rob Kopp: @Fred: Love the Washington Phillips songs Denomination blues and Mother's last words to her son
	3:45pm BronwynB: my favorite washington phillips is take your burden to the lord and leave it there
	3:45pm TDK60: Good selection, Mahalia. Did anyone hear Marty McSorley's show this morning? Obviously on the events in Virginia this past week.
	3:48pm fred: @Rob: Dust To Digital is in my top five expenses each year, after rent, WFMU, a French charity, and Willie Mae Rock Camp
	3:50pm Brian Cat: Yes, it was a week of terrible vibes and behavior. I have become numb to it. There is so much evil going on lately. Don't want to be numb to it but otherwise it's too much. All we can do is pray for help, if you believe.
	3:53pm Waking Bacon: Ascending..
	3:53pm Dean: Vigilance, folks. There is so much evil going on all the time!
	3:54pm Rob Kopp: @Fred. I bought his first compilation, a Dutch LP that was released in 1980. Denomination blues was an inspiration for Mirror of love by The Kinks
	3:54pm JakeGould: Logging in to say that is a nice Gena Rowalnds cover on the Carmen Villain track. Also, there is a protested tonight a the Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn to kick Trump out of the WWE Hall of Fame. gothamist.com...
	3:55pm JakeGould: I meant to type, “…there is a protest…” Jesus this stupid spellchecker.
	3:55pm RevRabNov63: The USA is like the Biggest thing there's ever been...but I'm seriously wondering if its' role in the Forward advancement of the Human Race might be over...as it is, anyhow...
	3:55pm fred: I just got my swag today, including a vinyl by Jenny Hval I won on Olivia's first of what I is going to be a long run of marathon shows. Seriously, check out her show, it's amazing. I shouldn't say that, if you do she'll move to a better slot out of my listening houts
	3:55pm Parq: Brian Cat, well said. My sentiments too. And if you can't pray, at least believe. Somehow.
	3:57pm JtotheK: hiya sheilaB, wuddup boom boomers.
	3:57pm Parq: I have always felt that U.S. democracy was stronger than this shit. I still hold out hope that it is, although it's buckling this week in a way I never anticipated.
	3:57pm Parq: More on topic, luv this Stones cover.
	3:58pm Brian Cat: @parq, Just picking up on Sheila's thread.
	3:58pm Sem Chumbo: I guess my swag should be along anytime now @fred. Foreign deliveries DO take a lot of time. I agree about Olivia, I hear about 90 minutes of her show every week. She's right at home here.
	3:58pm Waking Bacon: Many Blue and Miss you Lay our axe down... Awesomness
	3:58pm Rob Kopp: This song could have been on a Nouvelle Vague album.
	4:00pm /mzzm\: thought it wasn't fair using young gena rowlands portrait justifying this caruziee world
	4:02pm RevRabNov63: Yes to this Cover awlright. ...Yes to the Idea of Democracy - which the U.S. never was - even on paper (we pledge allegiance to the republic for which it stands); too much blind worship of Capitalism - @ the expense of Humanity, Justice, Equality, the Environment - anything that Really Matters now... ...Keep Hope Sandoval Alive...
	4:02pm KP: Good day, Sheila B.
	4:04pm TDK60: Well, racism is not only in the U$A. I met some pro-Chump English tourists yesterday. Their comments were coded racist. I was not amused.
	4:04pm RevRabNov63: We're a chip off the old Empire I suppose...
	4:06pm Rob Kopp: Kinks-producer
	4:08pm RevRabNov63: WhoProducer ! :)
	4:08pm Rob Kopp: The Orchids did one of the first covers of a Kinks song: I've got that feeling
	4:10pm Rob Kopp: Every year during the Kinks convention I meet some fans from Scotland and Northern Ireland and sometimes it's hard to understand them.
	4:11pm fred: @TDK60: I live in France, and the days of coded racism are over here. I'm not missing these, but the in-your-face kind doesn't feel like an improvement
	4:11pm Paulji: You gotta soul mate in Albuquerque. I'm so into your sweet sensitive and passionately strong voice.
	4:13pm Brian Cat: Something about OO Chang a Lang. It's Bluebeat yet sounds like Spector.
	4:14pm RevRabNov63: NickyHopkins on keyboard? He was the Fifth Who on the Talmy-Produced 1st Who album - which to me is beyond just Music - it's an Intoxicant. I can't articulate how much that thang means to me... We knew when Drumpf campaigned to these people & he won that this week's horror show would be the result. Three & 1/2 years to go...
	4:14pm djsheilab: Thanks @Paulji What sweet words!
	4:16pm fred: This Goldie & The GIngerbreads track is delightful
	4:16pm RevRabNov63: The link between Spector & all HardRawk that devolved from the Kinks & Who, in a way.
	4:17pm ncjay: this is a....Kevin Ayers cover??
	4:17pm Brian Cat: Sheila, it's amazing the way you find these 60s records that I never heard before. 60s and 80s were the most influential times for me.
	4:17pm RevRabNov63: Sounds like Lulu. <3
	4:18pm djsheilab: @ncjay Dat's right!
	4:18pm ncjay: indeed it is. I know it from "Odd Ditties" but it's also on the expanded reissue of "Bananamour"
	4:19pm Brian Cat: It pays to be on the Ace mailing list.
	4:20pm RevRabNov63: Power to the Peaceful. TY Sheila B.
	4:20pm djsheilab: @Brian Cat Digging for 60s girl-pop records is basically my favorite thing in the world!
	4:23pm Rob Kopp: Are Hinds from Argentina? I thought they were from Spain
	4:23pm The Oscar: Heading to Denmark for a week next Tuesday-- looking forward to my first taste of international crate-digging!
	4:24pm djsheilab: @Rob Kopp Oops...did I get that wrong? Yup, I did. They're Spanish.
	4:24pm fred: Las Kellies is another band from Argentina. Maybe a bit too far on the rock side for you though
	4:24pm djsheilab: @Fred That's exactly who I got them confused with, Las Kellies!
	4:25pm Paulji: You-re welcome doll! Getting me through a hot desert afternoon. Its green chili season now....a most edible vege...
	4:25pm ncjay: Love this Geowulf and all their other singles!
	4:25pm Rob Kopp: @The Oscar: If you see a copy of Livet er nu by Annissette and you don't want it yourself, please think of me.
	4:25pm Brian Cat: Geowulf is pretty good. This is a cute song. I also liked that No Turning Back.
	4:25pm northguineahills: Been busy, and I've said it before, but I love the album covers you put up, Sheila. @The Oscar:Enjoy!!
	4:26pm The Contessa: Loving Drink Too much, thanks
	4:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: Sheila B!
	4:34pm The Contessa: Thanks for that, Sheila xx
	4:36pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and boom boomers. First chance to chime in. Busy but cannot miss SBB!
	4:37pm BronwynB: they both have dicks. only one IS a dick. but they both have dicks.
	4:37pm BronwynB: as a female director it really pisses me off that women are seen as being authoritative, since being the boss is my major joy in life
	4:38pm BronwynB: i mean that women are NOT seen as being authoritative
	4:40pm fred: @Brownwyn: I don't think women not being seen as authoritative is the issue. Maybe more like the irrational rejection of women who dare being so?
	4:41pm Adrian in London: This song is so lovely: I know it from the great Yo la Tengo cover (Georgia can make anything sound great – but this is fantastic)
	4:42pm BronwynB: oh yeah fred thats a good point. kind of like how no one would ever accuse hillary of not being authoritative, but people call her a bossy bitch and worse and while it wasnt the only reason she lost, it certainly didnt help.
	4:42pm The Oscar: Agh, gotta leave, but this is all so great! Will have to revisit in in the archive.
	4:42pm djsheilab: Thanks @The Oscar!
	4:43pm Rob Kopp: Happy hunting in DK, Oscar
	4:44pm The Oscar: Will do @Rob! Later all!
	4:44pm Brian Cat: @Sheila, I want to remind you of a beautiful record by Robin Ward, who made it big in the female vocalist world. The single is Wonderful Summer b/w Dream Boy. Produced by Perry Botkin Jr. Not sure if he wrote them. And there is a Bass fuzz tone on Wonderful Summer way in the background; a little trivia there. They sped up her voice to sound like a teenager.
	4:45pm djsheilab: @Brian Cat I LOVE THAT RECORD!!! Perfect for the end of summer.
	4:45pm JtotheK: Jackie Wilson, yay! Erma Franklin sweetest feeling b/w whispers on Brunswick -- also a really solid 45.
	4:47pm Brian Cat: @djsheilaB Yes it is a gem. a perfect 45.
	4:48pm ncjay: Robin Ward has another nice seasonal song with "Winter's Here" which would be really nice on a girl group christmas compilation (that's a hint!)
	4:49pm Brian Cat: @ncjay, Thanks I'll look it up.
	4:50pm Rob Kopp: lovely Newman song
	4:50pm fred: @Bronwyn: Hillary is a good example of how women can be as ruthless as men, so just get rid of stereotypes. Sadly, I don't think Bernie would have won against Trump. Selfishly, I'm just glad we got Trump-lite instead of Hitler-lite this year.
	4:51pm Waking Bacon: Randy Newman I think he is a love him or hate him singer. yikes... dodges objects being tossed my way.
	4:52pm Brian Cat: Nice to hear a happy song from RN.
	4:53pm Waking Bacon: it did strike me as not so bad lol
	4:53pm fred: @Waking Bacon: I think I got a few of those tossed your way. Fair enough, I never liked him much
	4:54pm Waking Bacon: this rocks :)
	4:54pm Rob Kopp: 2 other love him or hate him singers: Kevin Coyne and Peter Hammill. And I love both.
	4:54pm ncjay: every song so far from this Alvvays album is really good!
	4:55pm WO Town Wick: Great show Sheila. I love that Darlene McRae song. First heard it when I bought a CD at a YLT Hanukkah show of songs Ira liked (they of course covered it later). Thanks for the cheery warm voice on this day.
	4:55pm Itzall Ablurr: re; love/hate Randy Newman. Perhaps. Like Dylan, Waits, Petty, The Shaggs (?) and a host of other musicians, it's the SONG not the singer. That was a beautiful song, in my opinion, and not hindered but FORMED by his admittedly "different" vocal style.
	4:56pm Brian Cat: Agree, clicky star here.
	4:56pm Waking Bacon: I hear ya @Itzall a bluRR
	4:56pm Eddie Caffrey: Loved the old Radio Caroline jingle Perpetual Langley obviously made for Dave Lee Travis!
	4:56pm WO Town Wick: Not crazy about RN the vocal style but I think he is a heck of songwriter.
	4:57pm Brian Cat: THe clicky star was for Alvvays. Three stars in this show.
	4:57pm BronwynB: they just dont write lyrics the way they used to
	4:57pm djsheilab: @Eddie Caffrey I was always wondering who she was referring to! And that it was for Radio Caroline. Thanks for clearing that up.
	4:58pm Waking Bacon: Ha love this song uh LA LA a woman to a guy. Cat call the dude! lol GIRL POWER RULES!!!! princess Nokia junglepussy my 2 favs
	4:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: This set is FYAHH
	5:00pm Waking Bacon: o00uuuu oooouuu lala
	5:00pm Monica: i saw what you just did there, sheila b.! xxoo
	5:01pm Waking Bacon: @Greg it is totally LIT in HERe :) Dancing :)
	5:05pm BronwynB: love mort shuman especially his brel translations!!!
	5:07pm Adrian in London: @Waking Bacon Hat tip to Princess Nokia and Junglepussy
	5:07pm Eddie Caffrey: djsheilab Dave was one of my inspirations to be be a Radio Jockas I grew up listening to Radio Caroline.
	5:07pm fred: @Bronwyn: My father is a huge Mort Shuman fan. He has most of his records. More importantly, when is your next show on WFMU?
	5:08pm BronwynB: im not that young anymore, but i was 17 when i started listening to fmu. i was the weird kid. discovering fmu helped with the misery.
	5:08pm Greg from ZONE 5: Gonna be 40 in January—not super psyched about it, but I would never, ever NURVER go back.
	5:09pm BronwynB: @fred: my next show is on the drummer stream 7-9pm on august 28th
	5:09pm Michael Z: There's also a film of Jon Savage's Teenage book that is really fun.
	5:09pm olivia: oh buddy i tuned in @ perfect time this is beauty
	5:11pm jess: sometimes it hurts to be 47
	5:11pm ncjay: I'm tossing out those yellow stars left and right on this show!
	5:13pm BronwynB: love this song. both this version the beach boys cover
	5:13pm Brian Cat: So Young was covered by The Beach Boys, really nicely too.
	5:13pm fred: @Bronwyn: Ugh. That means 1-3am for me, on a weekday to boot. No way I'll catch this
	5:14pm BronwynB: aw :(
	5:15pm fred: I love Ronnie's voice so much
	5:15pm Eddie Caffrey: I wonder what you would make of my accent Sheila! My daily show is from 15.30 to 17.30 gmt on LMFM 95.5-96.5 ireland and on the web and app.
	5:15pm The Contessa: Agreed @fred
	5:17pm Eddie Caffrey: Ronnie made a perfect addition to Eddie Money's Take Me Home Tonight.
	5:18pm BronwynB: woah amazing harmonies at the beginning of this one
	5:19pm chalmers: Those Tammys harmonies were usually put together by Lou Christie, I believe.
	5:21pm fred: @The Contessa: I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine is such a masterpiece for me (and I only heard about it because of Vicki)
	5:23pm Michael Z: Thank you Franny playing a young Janis Ian. She had two great career peaks and continues to put out wonderful records.
	5:28pm Stephanie: Hahaha this takes me to my tween years for sure!!
	5:29pm ncjay: it's always good to hear vintage Britney! nobody should be unhappy with this!
	5:30pm /mzzm\: oh well dis is the first time hearing Britney
	5:31pm fred: I should be used to this, but, again, I came to this show thinking I needed to go to bed early and catch up on sleep. Not happening, as always, I just can't turn off this show
	5:31pm Threemoons: Um.....wow. Promise us some L7 next time...
	5:32pm Sean d: I'm not a girl...I have a weiner( my lyrics)
	5:32pm fred: @Threemoons: Yeah to L7!
	5:33pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Britney? You've played Sting on your show; it's all uphill from there… ;-)
	5:37pm Rob Kopp: Wow what a bass. Sorry, of course I should say: Wow what a voice.
	5:38pm Brian Cat: It's storming like the dickens here is NW Jersey. Like they said it would. The weather moves East so Sheila you might be able to get a power nap before driving home.
	5:38pm Rob Kopp: I can hear another import-CD from Mexico
	5:38pm fred: You played Sting without irony on WFMU?
	5:39pm Carmichael: Very late heya, Sheila and boomers.
	5:41pm Waking Bacon: Love this Lilly Allen song, never gonna happen. !!! Yes ;)
	5:45pm ncjay: Syreeta - lovely song from when ncmarie and I got together! And we both recognized it immediately!
	5:50pm Eddie Caffrey: That Syreeta song reminded me of Shoorah Shoorah by Betty Wright! from around the same time-mid '70's
	5:52pm Greg from ZONE 5: I spy with my little ear a Kanye sample…
	5:52pm BronwynB: brenda <333
	5:52pm Will from Seattle: yep
	5:52pm Sem Chumbo: Always a smile on my face after three hours in the boom boom room. Thanks, sheilab, for hosting this soirée every week. See you, and all, next time.
	5:54pm Brian Cat: When in doubt, play Sweet Nothin's. works like charm.
	5:56pm northguineahills: Thanks Sheila B! Enjoy the weekend!

	5:58pm The Contessa: Such a lovey show Sheila! Thank you! Happy weekend everyone
	5:59pm Eddie Caffrey: I listen when I can on friday evenings 20-23.00 hrs....love the selection and commercial free....such a change from radio in ireland where everything I mean everything is sponsored by capitalists....
	6:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Sheila!
	8:35pm blondewithglasses: Hi miss Sheila, my name is Kaelan and I'm from Toronto! First off, thank you for the lovely introduction to Suomi queen, Ann Christine. I can't believe that as a 20-something Finn, I've never come across her music. Kiitos! I take it by your enthusiasm towards all things Japanese that you'd know a few great places to look for live music in Tokyo. I'm traveling there in October and would love to experience some swingin' girl pop! If you could curate a playlist with some more Japanese tracks, that would be awesome as I don't even know where to start! My coworker Daniel introduced me to your show a few months ago and I'm hooked! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the refreshing playlist each week as it's the first thing I tune into on Monday mornings and truly the best way to start the week!

Listener comments!
	3:00pm BronwynB: hello sheila and everyone!!!
	3:00pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila and everyone
	3:01pm Kevin-san: Let's Boom!
	3:02pm The Contessa: Hello Sheila! Hello everyone!
	3:02pm Adrian in London: Good evening Sheila, everyone…
	3:02pm Brian Cat: Hello Sheila and everyone of the boomer persuasion.
	3:03pm spodiodi: Ahoy!
	3:03pm Adrian in London: I heard a BBC radio doc about this film, and the day after it had won Best Picture Oscar, the phone operators at the studio were instructed to answer: "Hello, M Gigi M"!
	3:03pm Behemoth: I'm totally cool with this song; no creep factor.
	3:04pm The Contessa: Leslie Caron's autobiography is great if you haven't read it…
	3:04pm fred: Good afternoon Sheila and all. @Brownwyn: there's not much of overlap between Bryce and Sheila listeners, it's somehow heartwarming to see you on both playlists
	3:04pm Threemoons: I am somewhat creeped out by this song. Then again the whole MOVIE Gigi freaked me out.
	3:04pm The Oscar: Afternoon all!
	3:07pm fred: @Threemoons: Maurice Chevalier was creepy, and that's putting it mildly
	3:07pm BabyBear: Checking in!
	3:08pm Bobby: Sheila B and all: I am with you.
	3:08pm ?: What do you expect from a guy who speaks of the pompitous of love?
	3:09pm Dean: Ugh. That was me^ re: Maurice.
	3:10pm Rob Kopp: I'm starting to recognize her voice :-)
	3:11pm /mzzm\: Hiiii Sbieee crauzuie troll listener here bu'luv'yr sho'jus'sayin'
	3:11pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, sheilab, and boom boom room regulars, and the odd flâneur who has happened by.
	3:11pm Rob Kopp: How was the concert last week?
	3:11pm djsheilab: Hello Friday friends! Thought Maurice Chevalier's sweet yet creepy ode to little girls made for the perfect opener, dontcha think? :)
	3:12pm djsheilab: @Rob Kopp UNBELIEVABLY GREAT!!!!! One of the best shows I've seen in years!
	3:13pm dfb: hey everyone - im going to a wedding tonight - i hope your djing shelia?
	3:13pm Mark in Toronto: Sheila, just read your little feature article in July Record Collector. Now I feel better informed, knowing your history and how your musical tastes were shaped!
	3:14pm Behemoth: I needed this after the pallet spirit cleansing last radio block. Oh Wfmu.. even the Russian Devil cat Behemoth approves.
	3:14pm melinda: Nice selections.
	3:15pm JakeGould: Looking forward to this!
	3:15pm djsheilab: Thanks @melinda!
	3:16pm Adrian in London: Oh, and here comes the grey cloud to French music: Carla Bruni is to release an album of Abba songs. In English. Harry Hill glance to camera
	3:19pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian: I like this cover of a John Prine song by Carla Bruni & Marianne Faithfull: www.youtube.com...
	3:19pm Threemoons: Oooh nice shift here.
	3:20pm Behemoth: Fountain Head?
	3:20pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London Aye yaye yaye. That is very odd. No one will ever top Wing's collection of ABBA covers.
	3:20pm Adrian in London: 1. Yes, I know she's Italian but she sings in French 2. I liked her cover of Absolute Beginners and I don't care who knows it. 3. But…
	3:21pm dale: love the electronicky production on this jane weaver song!
	3:21pm spodiodi: Henry Hill glance
	3:21pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Better to be First Lady of Our Hearts than First Lady of France, right?
	3:21pm annie: hey!! i made it!! out walking in that oppressive heat... blech... ...back home.. hot bath soon....
	3:22pm Adrian in London: @spodiodi I like Harry Hill but I also like Henry Hill. But which is better? There's only one way to find out…
	3:22pm fred: @Adrian: An Italian model who married a French politician who exploited racism and xenophobia will release covers of Swedish songs in English. The only part that's wrong with this is "racism and xenophobia". But she's been rich all her life, she doesn't care about such trifles.
	3:22pm spodiodi: Hungry Hungry Hippo-off?
	3:23pm Parq: What Threemoons said. These are all really nifty segs.
	3:23pm Waking Bacon: The Devil left the pig. :) Loving the show, I'm rolling in mud, so happy.
	3:23pm djsheilab: @dale The whole Jane Weaver is wonderful + electronicky!
	3:24pm djsheilab: Thanks @Parq + @Threemoons!
	3:25pm JakeGould: @spodiodi: You should be banned for forcing images of hippo starvation on us listeners. Shame!
	3:25pm djsheilab: Thanks @Waking Bacon :)
	3:25pm Waking Bacon: Truly "Sophisticated Boom Boom"; perfect name.
	3:26pm Rob Kopp: @Sheila: I see on Discogs that Natalia's last see now also exists as a CD+DVD set. Don't know if the DVD is live, but when it is: a good memory?
	3:28pm dale: just looked her up on youtube - modern kosmology shows all of her vintage synths and such.
	3:29pm spodiodi: If it were up to me, JakeGould, there would be a head of cabbage in every Hippo-pot.
	3:29pm spodiodi: mmmm www.youtube.com...
	3:31pm spodiodi: Sorry about the bars/confinement imagery...
	3:31pm Waking Bacon: Oh I know your voice. Im terrible with names. Love this show. Aces
	3:32pm Waking Bacon: its all OM the hum and buzz of all the world
	3:34pm Waking Bacon: Who needs Monmouth. lol j/k
	3:34pm RevRabNov63: OmNamaShivaya MadnessMadness we call it gladness.
	3:35pm Waking Bacon: Ty @rev :)
	3:35pm RevRabNov63: Om Namah Shivaya . I blue it. Cause He's blue.
	3:37pm Rob Kopp: In French it's pronounced with a "K" as well. It's with a c and not with a c circonflex
	3:37pm TDK60: I couldn't believe it, the underground subway platform was cooler than outdoors (in upper Manhattan) -- so humid one could melt.
	3:38pm fred: Not appropriate for this show maybe, but Dust To Digital is having a sale on their Washington Phillips reissue until the end of the month
	3:40pm Waking Bacon: OH this voice!!!!! .... ommmmmm .... another planet
	3:40pm frozen_peas: She's amazing!
	3:41pm RevRabNov63: Mahalia is where Aretha goes to pray, I think...
	3:41pm Tom from Maplewood: That's what separates us from the rest of the world - you are willing to fly 3000 miles to see a show. To some that might seem a little crazy. Not to us!! You are ONE OF US! . And that's one of the reasons why we love you.
	3:41pm djsheilab: @RevRabNov63 Love that!
	3:42pm djsheilab: Awwww....thanks @Tom from Maplewood! I AM SO EXCITED.
	3:44pm Rob Kopp: @Fred: Love the Washington Phillips songs Denomination blues and Mother's last words to her son
	3:45pm BronwynB: my favorite washington phillips is take your burden to the lord and leave it there
	3:45pm TDK60: Good selection, Mahalia. Did anyone hear Marty McSorley's show this morning? Obviously on the events in Virginia this past week.
	3:48pm fred: @Rob: Dust To Digital is in my top five expenses each year, after rent, WFMU, a French charity, and Willie Mae Rock Camp
	3:50pm Brian Cat: Yes, it was a week of terrible vibes and behavior. I have become numb to it. There is so much evil going on lately. Don't want to be numb to it but otherwise it's too much. All we can do is pray for help, if you believe.
	3:53pm Waking Bacon: Ascending..
	3:53pm Dean: Vigilance, folks. There is so much evil going on all the time!
	3:54pm Rob Kopp: @Fred. I bought his first compilation, a Dutch LP that was released in 1980. Denomination blues was an inspiration for Mirror of love by The Kinks
	3:54pm JakeGould: Logging in to say that is a nice Gena Rowalnds cover on the Carmen Villain track. Also, there is a protested tonight a the Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn to kick Trump out of the WWE Hall of Fame. gothamist.com...
	3:55pm JakeGould: I meant to type, “…there is a protest…” Jesus this stupid spellchecker.
	3:55pm RevRabNov63: The USA is like the Biggest thing there's ever been...but I'm seriously wondering if its' role in the Forward advancement of the Human Race might be over...as it is, anyhow...
	3:55pm fred: I just got my swag today, including a vinyl by Jenny Hval I won on Olivia's first of what I is going to be a long run of marathon shows. Seriously, check out her show, it's amazing. I shouldn't say that, if you do she'll move to a better slot out of my listening houts
	3:55pm Parq: Brian Cat, well said. My sentiments too. And if you can't pray, at least believe. Somehow.
	3:57pm JtotheK: hiya sheilaB, wuddup boom boomers.
	3:57pm Parq: I have always felt that U.S. democracy was stronger than this shit. I still hold out hope that it is, although it's buckling this week in a way I never anticipated.
	3:57pm Parq: More on topic, luv this Stones cover.
	3:58pm Brian Cat: @parq, Just picking up on Sheila's thread.
	3:58pm Sem Chumbo: I guess my swag should be along anytime now @fred. Foreign deliveries DO take a lot of time. I agree about Olivia, I hear about 90 minutes of her show every week. She's right at home here.
	3:58pm Waking Bacon: Many Blue and Miss you Lay our axe down... Awesomness
	3:58pm Rob Kopp: This song could have been on a Nouvelle Vague album.
	4:00pm /mzzm\: thought it wasn't fair using young gena rowlands portrait justifying this caruziee world
	4:02pm RevRabNov63: Yes to this Cover awlright. ...Yes to the Idea of Democracy - which the U.S. never was - even on paper (we pledge allegiance to the republic for which it stands); too much blind worship of Capitalism - @ the expense of Humanity, Justice, Equality, the Environment - anything that Really Matters now... ...Keep Hope Sandoval Alive...
	4:02pm KP: Good day, Sheila B.
	4:04pm TDK60: Well, racism is not only in the U$A. I met some pro-Chump English tourists yesterday. Their comments were coded racist. I was not amused.
	4:04pm RevRabNov63: We're a chip off the old Empire I suppose...
	4:06pm Rob Kopp: Kinks-producer
	4:08pm RevRabNov63: WhoProducer ! :)
	4:08pm Rob Kopp: The Orchids did one of the first covers of a Kinks song: I've got that feeling
	4:10pm Rob Kopp: Every year during the Kinks convention I meet some fans from Scotland and Northern Ireland and sometimes it's hard to understand them.
	4:11pm fred: @TDK60: I live in France, and the days of coded racism are over here. I'm not missing these, but the in-your-face kind doesn't feel like an improvement
	4:11pm Paulji: You gotta soul mate in Albuquerque. I'm so into your sweet sensitive and passionately strong voice.
	4:13pm Brian Cat: Something about OO Chang a Lang. It's Bluebeat yet sounds like Spector.
	4:14pm RevRabNov63: NickyHopkins on keyboard? He was the Fifth Who on the Talmy-Produced 1st Who album - which to me is beyond just Music - it's an Intoxicant. I can't articulate how much that thang means to me... We knew when Drumpf campaigned to these people & he won that this week's horror show would be the result. Three & 1/2 years to go...
	4:14pm djsheilab: Thanks @Paulji What sweet words!
	4:16pm fred: This Goldie & The GIngerbreads track is delightful
	4:16pm RevRabNov63: The link between Spector & all HardRawk that devolved from the Kinks & Who, in a way.
	4:17pm ncjay: this is a....Kevin Ayers cover??
	4:17pm Brian Cat: Sheila, it's amazing the way you find these 60s records that I never heard before. 60s and 80s were the most influential times for me.
	4:17pm RevRabNov63: Sounds like Lulu. <3
	4:18pm djsheilab: @ncjay Dat's right!
	4:18pm ncjay: indeed it is. I know it from "Odd Ditties" but it's also on the expanded reissue of "Bananamour"
	4:19pm Brian Cat: It pays to be on the Ace mailing list.
	4:20pm RevRabNov63: Power to the Peaceful. TY Sheila B.
	4:20pm djsheilab: @Brian Cat Digging for 60s girl-pop records is basically my favorite thing in the world!
	4:23pm Rob Kopp: Are Hinds from Argentina? I thought they were from Spain
	4:23pm The Oscar: Heading to Denmark for a week next Tuesday-- looking forward to my first taste of international crate-digging!
	4:24pm djsheilab: @Rob Kopp Oops...did I get that wrong? Yup, I did. They're Spanish.
	4:24pm fred: Las Kellies is another band from Argentina. Maybe a bit too far on the rock side for you though
	4:24pm djsheilab: @Fred That's exactly who I got them confused with, Las Kellies!
	4:25pm Paulji: You-re welcome doll! Getting me through a hot desert afternoon. Its green chili season now....a most edible vege...
	4:25pm ncjay: Love this Geowulf and all their other singles!
	4:25pm Rob Kopp: @The Oscar: If you see a copy of Livet er nu by Annissette and you don't want it yourself, please think of me.
	4:25pm Brian Cat: Geowulf is pretty good. This is a cute song. I also liked that No Turning Back.
	4:25pm northguineahills: Been busy, and I've said it before, but I love the album covers you put up, Sheila. @The Oscar:Enjoy!!
	4:26pm The Contessa: Loving Drink Too much, thanks
	4:30pm Greg from ZONE 5: Sheila B!
	4:34pm The Contessa: Thanks for that, Sheila xx
	4:36pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and boom boomers. First chance to chime in. Busy but cannot miss SBB!
	4:37pm BronwynB: they both have dicks. only one IS a dick. but they both have dicks.
	4:37pm BronwynB: as a female director it really pisses me off that women are seen as being authoritative, since being the boss is my major joy in life
	4:38pm BronwynB: i mean that women are NOT seen as being authoritative
	4:40pm fred: @Brownwyn: I don't think women not being seen as authoritative is the issue. Maybe more like the irrational rejection of women who dare being so?
	4:41pm Adrian in London: This song is so lovely: I know it from the great Yo la Tengo cover (Georgia can make anything sound great – but this is fantastic)
	4:42pm BronwynB: oh yeah fred thats a good point. kind of like how no one would ever accuse hillary of not being authoritative, but people call her a bossy bitch and worse and while it wasnt the only reason she lost, it certainly didnt help.
	4:42pm The Oscar: Agh, gotta leave, but this is all so great! Will have to revisit in in the archive.
	4:42pm djsheilab: Thanks @The Oscar!
	4:43pm Rob Kopp: Happy hunting in DK, Oscar
	4:44pm The Oscar: Will do @Rob! Later all!
	4:44pm Brian Cat: @Sheila, I want to remind you of a beautiful record by Robin Ward, who made it big in the female vocalist world. The single is Wonderful Summer b/w Dream Boy. Produced by Perry Botkin Jr. Not sure if he wrote them. And there is a Bass fuzz tone on Wonderful Summer way in the background; a little trivia there. They sped up her voice to sound like a teenager.
	4:45pm djsheilab: @Brian Cat I LOVE THAT RECORD!!! Perfect for the end of summer.
	4:45pm JtotheK: Jackie Wilson, yay! Erma Franklin sweetest feeling b/w whispers on Brunswick -- also a really solid 45.
	4:47pm Brian Cat: @djsheilaB Yes it is a gem. a perfect 45.
	4:48pm ncjay: Robin Ward has another nice seasonal song with "Winter's Here" which would be really nice on a girl group christmas compilation (that's a hint!)
	4:49pm Brian Cat: @ncjay, Thanks I'll look it up.
	4:50pm Rob Kopp: lovely Newman song
	4:50pm fred: @Bronwyn: Hillary is a good example of how women can be as ruthless as men, so just get rid of stereotypes. Sadly, I don't think Bernie would have won against Trump. Selfishly, I'm just glad we got Trump-lite instead of Hitler-lite this year.
	4:51pm Waking Bacon: Randy Newman I think he is a love him or hate him singer. yikes... dodges objects being tossed my way.
	4:52pm Brian Cat: Nice to hear a happy song from RN.
	4:53pm Waking Bacon: it did strike me as not so bad lol
	4:53pm fred: @Waking Bacon: I think I got a few of those tossed your way. Fair enough, I never liked him much
	4:54pm Waking Bacon: this rocks :)
	4:54pm Rob Kopp: 2 other love him or hate him singers: Kevin Coyne and Peter Hammill. And I love both.
	4:54pm ncjay: every song so far from this Alvvays album is really good!
	4:55pm WO Town Wick: Great show Sheila. I love that Darlene McRae song. First heard it when I bought a CD at a YLT Hanukkah show of songs Ira liked (they of course covered it later). Thanks for the cheery warm voice on this day.
	4:55pm Itzall Ablurr: re; love/hate Randy Newman. Perhaps. Like Dylan, Waits, Petty, The Shaggs (?) and a host of other musicians, it's the SONG not the singer. That was a beautiful song, in my opinion, and not hindered but FORMED by his admittedly "different" vocal style.
	4:56pm Brian Cat: Agree, clicky star here.
	4:56pm Waking Bacon: I hear ya @Itzall a bluRR
	4:56pm Eddie Caffrey: Loved the old Radio Caroline jingle Perpetual Langley obviously made for Dave Lee Travis!
	4:56pm WO Town Wick: Not crazy about RN the vocal style but I think he is a heck of songwriter.
	4:57pm Brian Cat: THe clicky star was for Alvvays. Three stars in this show.
	4:57pm BronwynB: they just dont write lyrics the way they used to
	4:57pm djsheilab: @Eddie Caffrey I was always wondering who she was referring to! And that it was for Radio Caroline. Thanks for clearing that up.
	4:58pm Waking Bacon: Ha love this song uh LA LA a woman to a guy. Cat call the dude! lol GIRL POWER RULES!!!! princess Nokia junglepussy my 2 favs
	4:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: This set is FYAHH
	5:00pm Waking Bacon: o00uuuu oooouuu lala
	5:00pm Monica: i saw what you just did there, sheila b.! xxoo
	5:01pm Waking Bacon: @Greg it is totally LIT in HERe :) Dancing :)
	5:05pm BronwynB: love mort shuman especially his brel translations!!!
	5:07pm Adrian in London: @Waking Bacon Hat tip to Princess Nokia and Junglepussy
	5:07pm Eddie Caffrey: djsheilab Dave was one of my inspirations to be be a Radio Jockas I grew up listening to Radio Caroline.
	5:07pm fred: @Bronwyn: My father is a huge Mort Shuman fan. He has most of his records. More importantly, when is your next show on WFMU?
	5:08pm BronwynB: im not that young anymore, but i was 17 when i started listening to fmu. i was the weird kid. discovering fmu helped with the misery.
	5:08pm Greg from ZONE 5: Gonna be 40 in January—not super psyched about it, but I would never, ever NURVER go back.
	5:09pm BronwynB: @fred: my next show is on the drummer stream 7-9pm on august 28th
	5:09pm Michael Z: There's also a film of Jon Savage's Teenage book that is really fun.
	5:09pm olivia: oh buddy i tuned in @ perfect time this is beauty
	5:11pm jess: sometimes it hurts to be 47
	5:11pm ncjay: I'm tossing out those yellow stars left and right on this show!
	5:13pm BronwynB: love this song. both this version the beach boys cover
	5:13pm Brian Cat: So Young was covered by The Beach Boys, really nicely too.
	5:13pm fred: @Bronwyn: Ugh. That means 1-3am for me, on a weekday to boot. No way I'll catch this
	5:14pm BronwynB: aw :(
	5:15pm fred: I love Ronnie's voice so much
	5:15pm Eddie Caffrey: I wonder what you would make of my accent Sheila! My daily show is from 15.30 to 17.30 gmt on LMFM 95.5-96.5 ireland and on the web and app.
	5:15pm The Contessa: Agreed @fred
	5:17pm Eddie Caffrey: Ronnie made a perfect addition to Eddie Money's Take Me Home Tonight.
	5:18pm BronwynB: woah amazing harmonies at the beginning of this one
	5:19pm chalmers: Those Tammys harmonies were usually put together by Lou Christie, I believe.
	5:21pm fred: @The Contessa: I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine is such a masterpiece for me (and I only heard about it because of Vicki)
	5:23pm Michael Z: Thank you Franny playing a young Janis Ian. She had two great career peaks and continues to put out wonderful records.
	5:28pm Stephanie: Hahaha this takes me to my tween years for sure!!
	5:29pm ncjay: it's always good to hear vintage Britney! nobody should be unhappy with this!
	5:30pm /mzzm\: oh well dis is the first time hearing Britney
	5:31pm fred: I should be used to this, but, again, I came to this show thinking I needed to go to bed early and catch up on sleep. Not happening, as always, I just can't turn off this show
	5:31pm Threemoons: Um.....wow. Promise us some L7 next time...
	5:32pm Sean d: I'm not a girl...I have a weiner( my lyrics)

	8:35pm blondewithglasses: Hi miss Sheila, my name is Kaelan and I'm from Toronto! First off, thank you for the lovely introduction to Suomi queen, Ann Christine. I can't believe that as a 20-something Finn, I've never come across her music. Kiitos! I take it by your enthusiasm towards all things Japanese that you'd know a few great places to look for live music in Tokyo. I'm traveling there in October and would love to experience some swingin' girl pop! If you could curate a playlist with some more Japanese tracks, that would be awesome as I don't even know where to start! My coworker Daniel introduced me to your show a few months ago and I'm hooked! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the refreshing playlist each week as it's the first thing I tune into on Monday mornings and truly the best way to start the week!
