	3:17pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—Don't know that one. Will check it!
	3:17pm Rob Kopp: It's just a fun song.

	3:24pm queems: i LOVE this song. nice cover
	3:26pm coco: nice cover of this song!
	3:28pm mariano: @ParUbi: Yes, I remember you mentioning her, glad she's ok.
	3:28pm djsheilab: Someone's Airspace EP is all Air covers and they are all flawless!
	3:28pm djsheilab: ParUbi—Yes, you did mention her. Glad she's all good!
	3:31pm mariano: Ohhhh, haven't heard Japanese Boy in ages, nice!
	3:31pm Cmurtha: One of the oddest of hit songs, and delightfully orientalist. Made weirder by the fact Aneka is Scottish.
	3:32pm Paddy MeBoy: Love this song. Heard it first in Grand Theft Auto Vice City. I used to just park the car and listen to the radio.
	3:32pm Jonny Wulf: Pretty jammin'
	3:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: I am hearing "Guns of Navarone" here.
	3:35pm Joe in Bushwick: OH MY GOD SANDRA!!!! This is the best!!!
	3:35pm spodiodi: I'm hearing Alphaville
	3:35pm Guido from Cologne: Schlager!
	3:35pm spodiodi: so sweet
	3:35pm mariano: Yes, Vice City and all the GTA games have amazing music! I also like to just drive around listening to all the stations. The DJs are always a scream too. I've discovered a few artists that way.
	3:36pm Joe in Bushwick: Best radio in GTA is GTA III
	3:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: @spodiodi - Yes, same for me on this one.
	3:37pm coco: Big in Japan!!!
	3:37pm ncjay: Sheila! You found Sandra :)
	3:38pm karen eliot: Sandra! This made it on to my Friendsgiving party playlist.
	3:40pm spodiodi: so Weit
	3:40pm Rob Kopp: Far away
	3:40pm Paddy MeBoy: I just added the Sandra song to multiple playlists as well!
	3:40pm mariano: Oh man, you want cringey 80s takes on Japan, look no further than the Mr Roboto video and the Kilroy Was Here movie. Hadn't seen it in years then I caught it on YouTube recently. Youch!
	3:40pm Joe in Bushwick: Sandra was married to Michael Cretu for nearly 30 years, German music power couple
	3:40pm Undead83: Japan is broad ^^
	3:41pm karen eliot: My German and Dutch friends sang along to Sandra. Very popular.
	3:41pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday everyone!
	3:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Toe Jam and Earl has a fun soundtrack, I am told.
	3:42pm Rob Kopp: pronounce wide
	3:42pm ZeeBee: Hey Sheila and listener friends! Checking in from New Mexico! Loving the show so far! Hope all are well.
	3:42pm Paddy MeBoy: Toe Jam and Earl has been coming up a lot on FMU.
	3:43pm Cmurtha: it does indeed ken, Mat's bed music demonstrates that if there's any doubt...Or wait has he changed his bed music in this crazy mixed up post felder world?
	3:45pm Paddy MeBoy: me go peepee in your coke
	3:46pm Cmurtha: I think the orientalist attitude still exists, see:American Otakus. But, progress is progress.
	3:46pm Paddy MeBoy: What a great show, Sheila B!!
	3:47pm listener james from westwood: Jeez, there's like three or four things I can think of off the top of my head from the past several decades of music and film that use that exoticized "Asian riff." Not sure if it got a lot of use after, say, The Vapours, but one would hope not.
	3:47pm chris: my current take on Japan: wait! they have great whisky, sake and beer, why have i not visited yet?
	3:48pm Paddy MeBoy: ... and vending machines.
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thanks Paddy MeBoy!
	3:49pm Paddy MeBoy: Headed your way for the show at White Eagle tonight with the 5,6,7,8s! Relevant.
	3:50pm djsheilab: Hey ZeeBee, Jocelyn, karen eliot, Undead83, Joe in Bushwick, mariano, + coco!
	3:50pm mariano: @djsheilab: If you want to get a sense of all the music in the GTA games, check out this link: www.grandtheftwiki.com... It isn't just the song choice, it's the DJs: people like Iggy Pop, Keith Morris, Chuck D, Axl Rose, Bootsy Collins, Juliette Lewis, Cara Delevigne, lots of others. They're playing characters too, usually stereotype versions of themselves. Axl plays a washed-up, burned-out former hard rocker, etc.
	3:52pm Joe in Bushwick: That link is broken FYI
	3:52pm spodiodi: Bootsie, Lee Scratch Perry, and Loggins are probably my faves
	3:53pm WO Town Wick: From the male singer Graham Parker there is a song Discovering Japan off his great Squeezing Out Sparks album that has a killer lyric about a Japanese lady dealing with the GI's in the post WWII occupation--"Seeing a million miles between their jokes and smiles"
	3:54pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey Jocelyn, how ya be?
	3:54pm ncjay: the entire Mallu album is wonderful. Thanks for the pointer a while back, Sheila.
	3:55pm Paddy MeBoy: Here's the Vice City soundtrack - www.grandtheftwiki.com...
	3:55pm djsheilab: ncjay—my pleasure! I've been keeping a lookout for new material.
	3:55pm mariano: Huh, thanks for the heads-up, @Joe. Here it is again: www.grandtheftwiki.com...
	3:58pm Cmurtha: that floating head though...
	3:59pm Paddy MeBoy: bonus!
	3:59pm Paddy MeBoy: The 1/4" jack is pretty cool too.
	4:01pm spodiodi: the bindi-drop-of-blood-from-jack also hard to ignore
	4:05pm ParUbi: It's all about the library music.
	4:07pm brainiac: Checking in to say ni and happy Friday. Ni!
	4:08pm mattV: The way you pronounced "magalhães" was hilarious, Sheila. It is more like "muh-guh-lhawn-ehns"
	4:09pm Mr. Pumpy: Hola, Sheila. I was listening in the car...great set so far. I enjoyed the sojourn to the far east!
	4:09pm Yes: this year she can have christmas for hanukkah !
	4:12pm passiflora: :)
	4:12pm raszzyy _ Malmö (Sweden): Oh Hej! Listening from Malmö now :)
	4:13pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Sheila and everybody! Alice Boman's vocals remind me of Yoko (which of course is awesome).
	4:13pm djsheilab: raszzyy—Yay! Hello Malmö!
	4:15pm djsheilab: Hey Mr. Pumpy, passiflora, brainiac + tim from champaign!
	4:18pm rich the greeb: It is indeed a mean ol’ world
	4:19pm ParUbi: We gotta try to make it better.
	4:26pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello to everyone else! No more mean ol' world...hello peace love and records!
	4:27pm spodiodi: Gallant strikes again
	4:28pm Jocelyn: Phillippe, I’m good. How are you?
	4:30pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers.
	4:33pm Listener Scott: Seconding on adoration. That was the best.
	4:35pm Phillippe Bastille: I'm good, Jocelyn! Still finding new parts of the house to tear down and replace.
	4:35pm Phillippe Bastille: @spodiodi he's a bit too obsequious for my taste.
	4:40pm Jocelyn: Ah Nina. Making me cry in the hair salon.
	4:41pm Guido from Cologne: Janis Ian and Nina Simone were befriended! Janis writes about it in her biography. Some movie worth absurd scenes included.
	4:41pm Jocelyn: Phillippe, it’s going to be spectacular when you’re finished.
	4:41pm Donnie: I have to cry on my new puppy :( thanks.
	4:42pm djsheilab: Jocelyn + Guido from Cologne—I just started Janis Ian's biog!
	4:43pm Rick G: Late to the show but happy to be here.
	4:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): 1970s Nina Simone is the best.
	4:44pm Guido from Cologne: It's a great bio! Like a novel. i read it "at a draught".
	4:44pm ParUbi: Lost control of the stereo to the Xmas cadre. Need to get headphones....
	4:44pm Jocelyn: Sheila, it’s a great read.
	4:47pm Carmichael: I'll bet Nina Simone's bio would be astonishing ...
	4:48pm Monica: i heard what ya did right there, lady. and i'm fer it:)
	4:49pm Bob from poughkeepsie: Shelia Great show as always!!!!
	4:51pm andrewb: what's lLPR ?
	4:52pm Jocelyn: There are great books and documentaries about Nina. But to hear her tell her own story would’ve been epic. Maria Callas too.
	4:54pm djsheilab: andrewb—Le Poisson Rouge, a venue on Bleecker Street.
	4:54pm djsheilab: Haha! You know it, Monica!
	4:54pm Guido from Cologne: I need that Irma Thomas album with the bulb. You hardly come across on the German market ... ... hey! they Re-issued it!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Thanks Bob from poughkeepsie!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Hey Carmichael!
	4:57pm Mr. Pumpy: @andrewb...Le Poisson Rouge is a great place...if you're in the area. So many killer events and anything goes when it comes to genre. Very intimate as well. If memory serves properly, it was The Village Gate previously.
	4:57pm mariano: Irma Thomas is still going strong down here in NOLA, doing shows.
	4:59pm djsheilab: mariano—So good to hear! And her voice never falters.
	5:00pm Mr. Pumpy: Rice krispies. So worth it. You're killing it as always, Sheila! Danke...ad invinitum!
	5:00pm brainiac: I like that Brittany Howard record so much more than what she did with Alabama Shakes. Just stunning depth of emotion.
	5:01pm Monica: that brittany howard track was nice. lovely karen dalton vibe.
	5:06pm P-90: Awesome set!
	5:06pm Don von Brooklyn: Sheila!!! Never. Stop. The. Music. Broken <3s never mend
	5:09pm brainiac: I may in fact be a cat ;)
	5:10pm P-90: Plus one for “liking life without screens”
	5:14pm pantz: I finally get to listen to your show live, even if it's late. Hello @djshielab from an archive stalker!
	5:15pm Guido from Cologne: Sudan Archives!
	5:15pm Guido from Cologne: Great performer!
	5:17pm Guido from Cologne: I forgot to ask her how she came to that artist name. There is the African touch in the music, but "Archives"? :-o
	5:17pm arnaldo: Sheila B, greatest in the universe! Teletema? Wow that brings back fond kidhood memories. Thanks!
	5:17pm listener James from Westwood: Holy shit, this Sudan Archives track ::fans self::
	5:18pm Guido from Cologne: The whole album is worthwhile.
	5:19pm Mr. Pumpy: @P-90...me phone just done ranged and I was telling a friend how I'd prefer a 'pre app' lifestyle. I just dig the simpler times. I say this despite any conveniences these insidious, digital animals have granted us. Life Before Screens...lets forge the latest chapter in the Luddite movement. Shit...we'd have to do the message board via homing pigeon or smoke signals. I don't care..I'm in.
	5:19pm djsheilab: Thanks arnaldo!
	5:20pm pf: ❤️
	5:20pm Colin: Your show always creates a feeling for me of “a world apart”which is much appreciated thank you!!

	5:35pm Phillippe Bastille: Bryce is always prompt...
	5:35pm mariano: Or whatever it's really called, lol... always was a debate about that back in the day.
	5:38pm P-90: That EAS test was even more exciting than usual, because of that element of suspense...
	5:38pm Meesalikeu: brigette fountaine avant garde singer. she looks like quite le pistol (nsfw)! https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x4j0hqw3T8c/hqdefault.jpg
	5:39pm passiflora: those tests are so much shorter feeling than they used to be! back when I was a child, when I would look forward to the produce section mist...
	5:40pm Richard S: Hello! Home from work, and I can chat now!
	5:42pm djsheilab: Hey Vanessa Tara, Richard S., passiflora + Meesalikeu!
	5:42pm mariano: Wait, I think I know what she means: all that food is... SEX!
	5:42pm P-90: Nichelle! Ma belle.

	5:44pm mariano: It's "Black Uhuru" but "Lieutenant Uhura".
	5:46pm coco: Eternelle indeed!!
	5:47pm Dave Spice: A definite leaning towards Gallic chanteuses tonight. Great show, as always.
	5:48pm Vanessa Tara: 1st choice from'73
	5:48pm Richard S: That reminds me - I need to look for Edith Piaf Christmas songs....
	5:48pm Meesalikeu: merci, mon didacts et trekkies. i stand corrected. live long and prosper!
	5:49pm Vanessa Tara: an early dicso number ... some say the first was jerry butler\s only the strong survive from '69 ... thoughts?
	5:49pm Jett: This First Choice record was a biggee for me back when it was a hit, so was "Smarty Pants" their other single at the time. Great percussion on both!
	5:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Gotta run. Thanks Sheila!
	5:50pm Vanessa Tara: or archie bell's i can't stop dancing from '68
	5:50pm chris: gotta cut out, dang it. thanks for a wonderful show, Sheila. happy, happy, all!
	5:50pm Carmichael: I bet Daniel is wearing his dancy pants about now!
	5:51pm JtotheK: Been tuned in, haven't had a chance to comment - but enjoyed the show. Way to close out strong with some Weather!

There’s a huge convention planned in California next year to celebrate her, there are already a zillion luminaries from the worlds of Trek, NASA, and the Civil Rights movement announced to be there.
	5:56pm Jett: Did I forget to mention Irma Thomas, Much love, Sheila <3
	5:58pm mariano: @Meesalikeu - Sorry, didn't mean to come across like Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons. Thanks Sheila, what a fun show - great hanging out with everyone too! That's really sad about Nichelle Nichols, I'm glad she's being honored.
	5:58pm Guido from Cologne: Lots of clicky stars this evening! Thank you Sheila!
	5:58pm Mr. Pumpy: @P-90...YES! And D.C. Fontana just passed this week. A true pioneer in the Sci-fi world. She used her initials just so she didn't have to deal with the BS of being female in what many saw as a man's game. Shame!
	5:58pm highballer: Ain’t my fault
	5:59pm Mr. Pumpy: crateslinger...let's ham it up!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks, DJ Sheila B !

	3:17pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—Don't know that one. Will check it!

	3:26pm coco: nice cover of this song!
	3:28pm mariano: @ParUbi: Yes, I remember you mentioning her, glad she's ok.
	3:28pm djsheilab: Someone's Airspace EP is all Air covers and they are all flawless!
	3:28pm djsheilab: ParUbi—Yes, you did mention her. Glad she's all good!
	3:31pm mariano: Ohhhh, haven't heard Japanese Boy in ages, nice!
	3:31pm Cmurtha: One of the oddest of hit songs, and delightfully orientalist. Made weirder by the fact Aneka is Scottish.
	3:32pm Paddy MeBoy: Love this song. Heard it first in Grand Theft Auto Vice City. I used to just park the car and listen to the radio.
	3:32pm Jonny Wulf: Pretty jammin'
	3:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: I am hearing "Guns of Navarone" here.
	3:35pm Joe in Bushwick: OH MY GOD SANDRA!!!! This is the best!!!
	3:35pm spodiodi: I'm hearing Alphaville
	3:35pm Guido from Cologne: Schlager!
	3:35pm spodiodi: so sweet
	3:35pm mariano: Yes, Vice City and all the GTA games have amazing music! I also like to just drive around listening to all the stations. The DJs are always a scream too. I've discovered a few artists that way.
	3:36pm Joe in Bushwick: Best radio in GTA is GTA III
	3:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: @spodiodi - Yes, same for me on this one.
	3:37pm coco: Big in Japan!!!
	3:37pm ncjay: Sheila! You found Sandra :)
	3:38pm karen eliot: Sandra! This made it on to my Friendsgiving party playlist.
	3:40pm spodiodi: so Weit
	3:40pm Rob Kopp: Far away
	3:40pm Paddy MeBoy: I just added the Sandra song to multiple playlists as well!
	3:40pm mariano: Oh man, you want cringey 80s takes on Japan, look no further than the Mr Roboto video and the Kilroy Was Here movie. Hadn't seen it in years then I caught it on YouTube recently. Youch!
	3:40pm Joe in Bushwick: Sandra was married to Michael Cretu for nearly 30 years, German music power couple
	3:40pm Undead83: Japan is broad ^^
	3:41pm karen eliot: My German and Dutch friends sang along to Sandra. Very popular.
	3:41pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday everyone!
	3:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Toe Jam and Earl has a fun soundtrack, I am told.
	3:42pm Rob Kopp: pronounce wide
	3:42pm ZeeBee: Hey Sheila and listener friends! Checking in from New Mexico! Loving the show so far! Hope all are well.
	3:42pm Paddy MeBoy: Toe Jam and Earl has been coming up a lot on FMU.
	3:43pm Cmurtha: it does indeed ken, Mat's bed music demonstrates that if there's any doubt...Or wait has he changed his bed music in this crazy mixed up post felder world?
	3:45pm Paddy MeBoy: me go peepee in your coke
	3:46pm Cmurtha: I think the orientalist attitude still exists, see:American Otakus. But, progress is progress.
	3:46pm Paddy MeBoy: What a great show, Sheila B!!
	3:47pm listener james from westwood: Jeez, there's like three or four things I can think of off the top of my head from the past several decades of music and film that use that exoticized "Asian riff." Not sure if it got a lot of use after, say, The Vapours, but one would hope not.
	3:47pm chris: my current take on Japan: wait! they have great whisky, sake and beer, why have i not visited yet?
	3:48pm Paddy MeBoy: ... and vending machines.
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thanks Paddy MeBoy!
	3:49pm Paddy MeBoy: Headed your way for the show at White Eagle tonight with the 5,6,7,8s! Relevant.
	3:50pm djsheilab: Hey ZeeBee, Jocelyn, karen eliot, Undead83, Joe in Bushwick, mariano, + coco!
	3:50pm mariano: @djsheilab: If you want to get a sense of all the music in the GTA games, check out this link: www.grandtheftwiki.com... It isn't just the song choice, it's the DJs: people like Iggy Pop, Keith Morris, Chuck D, Axl Rose, Bootsy Collins, Juliette Lewis, Cara Delevigne, lots of others. They're playing characters too, usually stereotype versions of themselves. Axl plays a washed-up, burned-out former hard rocker, etc.
	3:52pm Joe in Bushwick: That link is broken FYI
	3:52pm spodiodi: Bootsie, Lee Scratch Perry, and Loggins are probably my faves
	3:53pm WO Town Wick: From the male singer Graham Parker there is a song Discovering Japan off his great Squeezing Out Sparks album that has a killer lyric about a Japanese lady dealing with the GI's in the post WWII occupation--"Seeing a million miles between their jokes and smiles"
	3:54pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey Jocelyn, how ya be?
	3:54pm ncjay: the entire Mallu album is wonderful. Thanks for the pointer a while back, Sheila.
	3:55pm Paddy MeBoy: Here's the Vice City soundtrack - www.grandtheftwiki.com...
	3:55pm djsheilab: ncjay—my pleasure! I've been keeping a lookout for new material.
	3:55pm mariano: Huh, thanks for the heads-up, @Joe. Here it is again: www.grandtheftwiki.com...
	3:58pm Cmurtha: that floating head though...
	3:59pm Paddy MeBoy: bonus!
	3:59pm Paddy MeBoy: The 1/4" jack is pretty cool too.
	4:01pm spodiodi: the bindi-drop-of-blood-from-jack also hard to ignore
	4:05pm ParUbi: It's all about the library music.
	4:07pm brainiac: Checking in to say ni and happy Friday. Ni!
	4:08pm mattV: The way you pronounced "magalhães" was hilarious, Sheila. It is more like "muh-guh-lhawn-ehns"
	4:09pm Mr. Pumpy: Hola, Sheila. I was listening in the car...great set so far. I enjoyed the sojourn to the far east!
	4:09pm Yes: this year she can have christmas for hanukkah !
	4:12pm passiflora: :)
	4:12pm raszzyy _ Malmö (Sweden): Oh Hej! Listening from Malmö now :)
	4:13pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Sheila and everybody! Alice Boman's vocals remind me of Yoko (which of course is awesome).
	4:13pm djsheilab: raszzyy—Yay! Hello Malmö!
	4:15pm djsheilab: Hey Mr. Pumpy, passiflora, brainiac + tim from champaign!
	4:18pm rich the greeb: It is indeed a mean ol’ world
	4:19pm ParUbi: We gotta try to make it better.
	4:26pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello to everyone else! No more mean ol' world...hello peace love and records!
	4:27pm spodiodi: Gallant strikes again
	4:28pm Jocelyn: Phillippe, I’m good. How are you?
	4:30pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers.
	4:33pm Listener Scott: Seconding on adoration. That was the best.
	4:35pm Phillippe Bastille: I'm good, Jocelyn! Still finding new parts of the house to tear down and replace.
	4:35pm Phillippe Bastille: @spodiodi he's a bit too obsequious for my taste.
	4:40pm Jocelyn: Ah Nina. Making me cry in the hair salon.
	4:41pm Guido from Cologne: Janis Ian and Nina Simone were befriended! Janis writes about it in her biography. Some movie worth absurd scenes included.
	4:41pm Jocelyn: Phillippe, it’s going to be spectacular when you’re finished.
	4:41pm Donnie: I have to cry on my new puppy :( thanks.
	4:42pm djsheilab: Jocelyn + Guido from Cologne—I just started Janis Ian's biog!
	4:43pm Rick G: Late to the show but happy to be here.
	4:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): 1970s Nina Simone is the best.
	4:44pm Guido from Cologne: It's a great bio! Like a novel. i read it "at a draught".
	4:44pm ParUbi: Lost control of the stereo to the Xmas cadre. Need to get headphones....
	4:44pm Jocelyn: Sheila, it’s a great read.
	4:47pm Carmichael: I'll bet Nina Simone's bio would be astonishing ...
	4:48pm Monica: i heard what ya did right there, lady. and i'm fer it:)
	4:49pm Bob from poughkeepsie: Shelia Great show as always!!!!
	4:51pm andrewb: what's lLPR ?
	4:52pm Jocelyn: There are great books and documentaries about Nina. But to hear her tell her own story would’ve been epic. Maria Callas too.
	4:54pm djsheilab: andrewb—Le Poisson Rouge, a venue on Bleecker Street.
	4:54pm djsheilab: Haha! You know it, Monica!
	4:54pm Guido from Cologne: I need that Irma Thomas album with the bulb. You hardly come across on the German market ... ... hey! they Re-issued it!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Thanks Bob from poughkeepsie!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Hey Carmichael!
	4:57pm Mr. Pumpy: @andrewb...Le Poisson Rouge is a great place...if you're in the area. So many killer events and anything goes when it comes to genre. Very intimate as well. If memory serves properly, it was The Village Gate previously.
	4:57pm mariano: Irma Thomas is still going strong down here in NOLA, doing shows.
	4:59pm djsheilab: mariano—So good to hear! And her voice never falters.
	5:00pm Mr. Pumpy: Rice krispies. So worth it. You're killing it as always, Sheila! Danke...ad invinitum!
	5:00pm brainiac: I like that Brittany Howard record so much more than what she did with Alabama Shakes. Just stunning depth of emotion.
	5:01pm Monica: that brittany howard track was nice. lovely karen dalton vibe.
	5:06pm P-90: Awesome set!
	5:06pm Don von Brooklyn: Sheila!!! Never. Stop. The. Music. Broken <3s never mend

	5:14pm pantz: I finally get to listen to your show live, even if it's late. Hello @djshielab from an archive stalker!
	5:15pm Guido from Cologne: Sudan Archives!
	5:15pm Guido from Cologne: Great performer!
	5:17pm Guido from Cologne: I forgot to ask her how she came to that artist name. There is the African touch in the music, but "Archives"? :-o
	5:17pm arnaldo: Sheila B, greatest in the universe! Teletema? Wow that brings back fond kidhood memories. Thanks!
	5:17pm listener James from Westwood: Holy shit, this Sudan Archives track ::fans self::
	5:18pm Guido from Cologne: The whole album is worthwhile.
	5:19pm Mr. Pumpy: @P-90...me phone just done ranged and I was telling a friend how I'd prefer a 'pre app' lifestyle. I just dig the simpler times. I say this despite any conveniences these insidious, digital animals have granted us. Life Before Screens...lets forge the latest chapter in the Luddite movement. Shit...we'd have to do the message board via homing pigeon or smoke signals. I don't care..I'm in.
	5:19pm djsheilab: Thanks arnaldo!
	5:20pm pf: ❤️

	5:35pm mariano: Or whatever it's really called, lol... always was a debate about that back in the day.
	5:38pm P-90: That EAS test was even more exciting than usual, because of that element of suspense...
	5:38pm Meesalikeu: brigette fountaine avant garde singer. she looks like quite le pistol (nsfw)! https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x4j0hqw3T8c/hqdefault.jpg
	5:39pm passiflora: those tests are so much shorter feeling than they used to be! back when I was a child, when I would look forward to the produce section mist...
	5:40pm Richard S: Hello! Home from work, and I can chat now!

	5:49pm Jett: This First Choice record was a biggee for me back when it was a hit, so was "Smarty Pants" their other single at the time. Great percussion on both!

	5:56pm Jett: Did I forget to mention Irma Thomas, Much love, Sheila <3
	5:58pm mariano: @Meesalikeu - Sorry, didn't mean to come across like Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons. Thanks Sheila, what a fun show - great hanging out with everyone too! That's really sad about Nichelle Nichols, I'm glad she's being honored.
	5:58pm Guido from Cologne: Lots of clicky stars this evening! Thank you Sheila!
	5:58pm Mr. Pumpy: @P-90...YES! And D.C. Fontana just passed this week. A true pioneer in the Sci-fi world. She used her initials just so she didn't have to deal with the BS of being female in what many saw as a man's game. Shame!
	5:58pm highballer: Ain’t my fault
	5:59pm Mr. Pumpy: crateslinger...let's ham it up!
