	3:08pm djsheilab: Hello Heidella, Katharsis + Various Julius!
	3:09pm djsheilab: listener james from westwood—And don't it feel goooood!!!!
	3:09pm P-90: Much too early on much too peaceful an afternoon to start the “How prog is ABBA?” discussion. So we won’t.
	♥ 3:10pm loveless: I unabashedly LOVE ABBA!
	♥ 3:10pm Handy Haversack: Hello and fond Friday greetings, Sheila and all the Dear Listeners and most sophisticated of Boom Boomers!
	3:10pm djsheilab: P-90—Oh I very much like this ABBA-PROG discussion suggestion :)
	3:11pm Robm: Love abba has anyone watched mama mia?
	♥ 3:12pm Handy Haversack: Sorry I'm late. Goblin has forced me to pay a visit to my socks guy. That. Cat.
	♥ 3:12pm G: I recall the first big ABBA 45, the Eurovision song contest winner, Waterloo, being inescapable on radio when I was living in the UK as a kid, gonna say 73 or early 74...
	♥ 3:12pm artbrau: I think "prog" requires playing instruments. Good afternoon!
	3:12pm Robm: @Handy damn cat:) @G howdy
	3:13pm djsheilab: Hey Handy, artbrau + G!
	♥ 3:13pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	3:15pm djsheilab: artbrau—But ABBA had a load of fabulous Swedish session cats! That sounds very prog to me :)
	3:16pm Mike tp: HI SHEILA.BEEN enjoying DERYA who you played month or so ago.this female ballad is beautiful 😍❤
	3:16pm PuraVida: Her voice is so pure, wow....
	3:16pm mike: "prog" is such a silly label being slapped onto whatever often with no reason at all...
	♥ 3:16pm G: Hey, all -- Mary Ellen here in the room where we work online is on a delicate case settlement Zoom discussion for the first hour of this show today -- hoping to turn audio back on within the hour :-(
	3:17pm Robm: @G there is always the archives
	3:18pm djsheilab: I bring back this Abbey Lincoln because its message needs to be cast far + wide. And radio waves are magic!
	♥ 3:18pm G: Yup :-)
	3:19pm djsheilab: Hey Jason from Houston, mike, PureVida + Mike tp!
	3:19pm Editor B: Love this Abbey Lincoln song.
	3:19pm PuraVida: Hi djsheilab
	3:19pm Malcontent: This is the most perfect Abbey Lincoln album.
	3:19pm Mike tp: HAKO N ABBEY.lovin these 2 cuts.just popped in...
	♥ 3:20pm DjLorraine: Welcome back. I would like to meet some Swedish session cats. Cooh John🙋‍♀️
	♥ 3:20pm Michael 98145: "Where will i go tomorrow Where will i go tomorrow I can't see the shadow" sez the robot
	3:20pm djsheilab: Malcontent—Truly. Hello Editor B + DJLorraine!
	♥ 3:20pm Bimbus Bambus: Prog and its gatekeepers probably care a little too much about who is doing the virtuoso soloing, but it doesn't matter. ABBA's Eagle is for sure a prog song. At least a little!
	♥ 3:21pm Jason from Houston: Malcontent tells no lies.
	3:21pm michael z: Such an amazing song from Abbey Lincoln. I love the guitar solo.
	3:22pm Malcontent: Guitar by Pat Metheny -- pronounced "meh-thee-knee" BTW.
	♥ 3:23pm Peter in SEA: Boom Boom! Happy Friday Sheila and sophisticates!
	3:23pm djsheilab: I've got goosebumps listening to that ending.
	♥ 3:23pm G: Not a few groups in the early to mid 70s blended proggy and poppy aspects, in pursuit of mainstream commercial success -- early ELO, "Bohemian Rhapsody," etc. ABBA fits in some with that.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Malcontent—Best known as Kenny G's biggest fan!
	♥ 3:25pm Peter in SEA: You've all seen I hope Steve Coogan's SAXONDALE, in which he plays a former PROG roadie?It's worth a look ;-)
	♥ 3:25pm Jason from Houston: Gah. I gotta watch that Kenny G doc still. LOL
	♥ 3:25pm Michael 98145: Cripes. I love tracks like this.
	3:25pm djsheilab: Peter in SEA—Straight to the top of the list. Thanks!
	3:25pm Malcontent: @djsheilab I worked with Pat on a couple projects. The man has huge ears... and no receding opinions. I love him dearly.
	3:26pm djsheilab: Malcontent—Ah that's lovely.
	♥ 3:26pm Peter in SEA: This voice is literally sending a frisson up my spine! This Iranian vocal stuff you've been sharing is so good!
	3:27pm djsheilab: Never noticed that dancing bass on this Googoosh track! FAB.
	3:29pm Robm: @Peter in SEA wonder if anyone from IRAN are listening to this strange wonderful station?
	♥ 3:31pm D Rok: Late to the party. Hi Friday Friends!
	♥ 3:31pm Handy Haversack: Peter (@3:25): Is that the one where he's an exterminator?
	3:31pm mike: yeah, so much for islamic theocracy...
	♥ 3:32pm Various Julius: Saxondale is great. "New shoes!"
	♥ 3:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hey everybody. Happy Friday. Loved that Abbey Lincoln. I bought it because Pat Metheny is on it but man, loved her voice.
	♥ 3:33pm Picante Mint: Loving this optimistic track. Dang!
	♥ 3:33pm listener james from westwood: This Tomu is utterly charming!
	♥ 3:35pm rx scabin: Prog, schmog.
	3:36pm P-90: Who better than Steve Coogan to play a “former prog band roadie”?
	♥ 3:36pm DavidL: An endorsement for Saxondale, that's a good one!
	♥ 3:36pm rx scabin: @Robm I think WFMU can find out who is listening from where.
	3:37pm Robm: @rx scabin I don’t think they would tell us anyway
	♥ 3:37pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'd love it if there was a FMU web page that showed the globe and where everybody was listening from.
	♥ 3:38pm the Hurston moor-elf: Try using discogs.org, Sheila, it's remarkably thorough for that kind of thing.
	♥ 3:38pm listener james from westwood: We lost something when we lost the age of blogs and RSS feeds. And Google Reader.
	♥ 3:38pm the Hurston moor-elf: Ah, OK, you know : )
	♥ 3:39pm Michael 98145: ooh. fun production.
	♥ 3:40pm Handy Haversack: I'm off the blogosphere because so much of it is Google. Sorry, Blogspot bloggers. Can't follow you there anymore.
	3:40pm Analog Nights: Brooklyn is fine. Kingston is boring.
	♥ 3:40pm Bimbus Bambus: This would almost fit in on the new Beyoncé album
	♥ 3:40pm listener james from westwood: Branigan "Self-Control"–esque in the best way.
	3:41pm WM: Regarding Abby Lincoln's Throw it All Away, Ezra Pound had a similar insight in Canto LXXXI: What thou lovest well remains, the rest is dross What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee What thou lov’st well is thy true heritage
	♥ 3:41pm admiral crisp: wait wait, like kingston, ny?
	3:42pm Cooh John: 👍 U.S. Girls.
	3:42pm djsheilab: admiral crisp—Yup. A critique of moving upstate during the Pandemic.
	♥ 3:43pm dreamyandseedy: iconic video for this song!
	3:43pm PuraVida: That Stewart's on Zena Rd in Kingston on the way to Woodstock is a lifesaver. Also they have 16oz 6-packs of cream soda. I once drove the guys from Bad Brains who own a house down Zena Rd...
	3:44pm djsheilab: Hello WoodsofNH, DavidL, D Rok, the Hurston moor-elf + Analog Nights!
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: There was a song that came out in like late 2020 or early 2021 that was actually about leaving the city, and every time it came on, I got so mad. "Don't let the door hit your ass" was pretty much the sum total of my trenchant and incisive criticism on that one.
	3:45pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Totally!
	3:47pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—During the height of the Pandemic I did a show about NYC and those leaving. It was so shocking to see Brooklyn littered with moving trucks.
	♥ 3:47pm artbrau: Deposit is the new Saugerties.
	3:48pm PuraVida: Thank you for the Alice Coltrane, Sheila...
	3:48pm djsheilab: PuraVida—My pleasure!
	♥ 3:48pm Bimbus Bambus: This album is such a gift.
	3:48pm Robm: @Sheliab they must have moved to the cultural wasteland that is Florida
	♥ 3:48pm Peter in SEA: @Handy: yep! And his wife, who is great, has a T-shirt shop at the mall :-)
	3:49pm Rick G: Thank you for playing some Alice Coltrane! That is someone way overdue for a biopic. What a life.
	3:49pm djsheilab: WM—Thank you for sharing these words. Magical just like Abbey's!
	♥ 3:50pm Jason from Houston: Don't let the doorknob hit ya where the good lord split ya.
	3:51pm Cecile: hello all. i was listening to the new Ateez album. Someone it said it sounded like the producers were listening to Death Grips. So I listened to some Death Grips. Now I really need to hear something that's not Ateez or Death Grips.
	♥ 3:51pm rx scabin: I love this. I think Trouble played it.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Cecile—You're safe here :)
	3:53pm Cecile: I see! Although that Death Grips is catchy in a slamming your head against the door kind of way.
	3:53pm N'Lo: @sheilab this Alice Coltrane is making me stop furiously pounding at the last email and stopping to close my eyes, unclench jaw, and breathe. Thank you for Friday release. 🧘🏻‍♀️
	3:53pm mike: death grips are some sort of hip-hop metal, aren't they
	♥ 3:54pm admiral crisp: i just told my sister who lives in kingston about the US girls song and she said "for real though everyone here is from Brooklyn and is a DJ and has money"
	3:54pm kate D: Haunting. This has a very David Lynch Lost Highway kinda vibe to me...
	♥ 3:54pm rx scabin: Sometimes, you might need to slam your head.
	♥ 3:55pm rx scabin: Or bang your head.
	3:55pm PuraVida: Tresor (Treasure) is Gwenno’s third full length solo album and the second almost entirely in Cornish, with one track in Welsh, her other native language.
	3:55pm djsheilab: admiral crisp—I didn't realize they were all DJs too! Haha.
	3:55pm Cecile: They're kind of like if Sleaford Mods, Suicide, and clipping. decided to play together.
	♥ 3:55pm dreamyandseedy: Gwenno is enchanting!
	3:56pm PuraVida: Questlove left the city & moved upstate...
	3:57pm djsheilab: PuraVida—A different sort of city and upstate....
	3:57pm PuraVida: (nevermmind)
	3:59pm Cecile: I remember Brian Turner playing this CD by Estron, which was these cut-up Welsh folk records with electronics. Very soothing.
	3:59pm Robm: Too me anything above New York City is upstate New York, staten island i am not too sure about
	♥ 4:01pm Bimbus Bambus: I love hearing new Gwenno, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss The Pipettes.
	4:01pm PuraVida: I left NYC on August 1st 2011, moved to Costa Rica. Stayed for 6 years. Haven't been back since.
	♥ 4:04pm Jason from Houston: Phew... Here for this.
	4:04pm PuraVida: Listened to Staples Singers - Fillmore West San Francisco CA April 19th 1968 Soundboard a couple of days ago. They will NEVER go out out of style...
	♥ 4:05pm Michael 98145: Whoa
	4:05pm N'Lo: This Anna Savage cover is giving me all the chills!!!!
	4:06pm kate D: Damn.
	4:06pm mike: original by edwyn collins
	♥ 4:06pm pgalub: Greetings Sheila and everyone! Sounding great! 🎸
	4:06pm Cecile: I got scared. I'll be back after I listen to some Ateez.
	4:06pm Cooh John: Nice version.
	♥ 4:07pm Michael 98145: Where's Julie? 😊
	4:07pm gauche knee: @Robm I find many NYC lifers feel this way. My Syracuse buds lol when I call Rockland County Upstate.
	4:10pm Cecile: back.
	4:10pm gauche knee: Anyone know the Ep Sheila B’s talking about re: everyone moving out of Bk/NYC?
	♥ 4:11pm rx scabin: @Pura Vida - lucky!
	4:12pm Hudson Valley: Newburgh is the place upstate!
	♥ 4:12pm rx scabin: Please do not call Western NY upstate. It is sort of side state.
	♥ 4:14pm _Ike_: Yes, yes, this! Yes.
	4:15pm Hudson Valley: If you want to live like the NEw Yorkers of the 70s 80s - move to Newburgh - you can get a while building for 3K
	♥ 4:16pm Michael 98145: we like when you read to us
	4:16pm iLikedWaterworld: damn
	♥ 4:16pm dreamyandseedy: wow! that passage goes perfectly with what we learned in 4,000 weeks
	4:17pm gauche knee: finger snaps fantastic, Sheila B!
	4:18pm djsheilab: gauche knee—Here you go! www.wfmu.org...
	4:18pm Cecile: WHO HURT YOUR LORRAINE?
	♥ 4:20pm Michael 98145: what beautiful tracks
	4:20pm djsheilab: Thanks Michael 98145!
	♥ 4:21pm Michael 98145: Don't think i've ever heard of Bobby H
	4:22pm Cecile: I found the original by Eddie jones on Spotify. I also found a Joe Pesci version!?!?!?!?!
	4:23pm djsheilab: Cecile—A Joe Pesci version?!!! That is VERY EXCITING!!
	♥ 4:23pm Jason from Houston: GODDAMN
	♥ 4:24pm StringOFperils: I misread that as Joe Piscopo version for a moment, and cringed.
	4:24pm Cecile: I know! It's not bad. I'm surprised at how light his voice is.
	4:25pm Cecile: to listen to later. open.spotify.com...
	♥ 4:26pm Michael 98145: whoa. pegging that needle.
	4:27pm gauche knee: Thank you, amazing Sheila B! Can’t wait to dig in! 💗🎧
	4:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sophie Tucker is AMAZING!
	♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145: "Some singers want to be famous, others are pop star icons, and some are artists; Asha is the latter. Asha is a true force of nature"
	♥ 4:27pm rx scabin: Wicky Wacky!
	4:28pm Cooh John: Hurray for the filth.
	♥ 4:28pm Michael 98145: what hinky dinky leads to ...
	4:29pm michael z: Beautiful naughty Sophie Tucker.
	4:31pm Cecile: Whitney!
	4:31pm gauche knee: Yaaaaaass 💃🏾🕺🏾
	♥ 4:31pm disco_nap_: One of my fav Whitney songs 💜
	4:32pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Prog implies that the musicians are highly skilled. Session musicians qualify I think. I would say Donna Summer's work with Giorgio Morodor are therefore somewhat proggy. "I Need Love" comes to mind. I mean, if ABBA can, then so can Donna Summer prog out. She was not a "prog gruoup" of course but some songs, sure.
	4:32pm PuraVida: Another East Orange NJ product
	4:32pm djsheilab: Whitney's voice is an incredible instrument.
	♥ 4:33pm StringOFperils: Yeah. This is superhuman. And she's inventing the future. Took its toll tho.
	4:34pm Cecile: Whitney actually was on a prog record herself. She sang a cover of Hugh Hopper's Memories with Bill Laswell, etc. behind her.
	4:35pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I know a computer science prof that got angry and completely disagreed when I posited King Crimson was a blend of free jazz and heavy metal. I still thing they are. Whitney Houston predates AutoTune, right? She REALLY CAN SING that way, eh?
	4:35pm Cecile: 16 years old when it was recorded in 1984.
	4:36pm michael z: I love Sheila's commitment to new French music...
	♥ 4:36pm Michael 98145: oui
	4:36pm djsheilab: michael z—Always digging for the good stuff!
	4:37pm Cecile: I can hear a Kpop girl group lifting this for a track.
	4:37pm Cecile: Throw a bunch of electric guitars on there and you have Dreamcatcher's next single.
	4:38pm N'Lo: J’adore ce UTO!
	♥ 4:38pm Michael 98145: 🔔
	4:39pm Cecile: I loved this.
	4:39pm gauche knee: I wrote to Whitney in kindergarten, after months I got a signed pic & a tiny handwritten note saying “___, what a beautiful name!” Growing up the only visibly brown skinned girl in my school /neighborhood with a difficult name no one could pronounce or cared to try…that meant everything to me. Love u, Whitney! ♥️
	♥ 4:40pm dreamyandseedy: @gauche knee: that is so cool!
	4:40pm Cecile: that's wonderful, gauche knee!
	4:41pm Rusty: I appreciate you Sheila!🌹always a good show
	♥ 4:41pm Picante Mint: @gauche knee that's really sweet and rad!
	♥ 4:41pm disco_nap_: Yes! I was so pleasantly surprised by how good the Whitney doc was!
	♥ 4:42pm Michael 98145: Asha - mrbongo.bandcamp.com...
	4:42pm P-90: “…gut wrenching heartache just SPILLED ALL OVER that record…!”
	♥ 4:42pm rx scabin: Doesn't prog mean progressive? That covers a lot of territory.
	4:43pm djsheilab: Thank you Rusty!
	4:44pm Cecile: Speaking of prog, this is giving me a very 70s Pink Floyd vibe.
	4:44pm djsheilab: gauche knee—What a moving Whitney story!!!!
	4:45pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @RX scabin-that is correct! Apoife Nessa Frances is astounding! My coworker is annoyed because I could tell her if I liked a song in 30 seconds she wanted me to listen to. Guess I'm closeminded, but I knew I liked Aoife in maybe 5 seconds, no looking back. Anybody else? How long do YOU have to listen before you know? The is so MUCH I just don't like I can ID it immediately,
	♥ 4:45pm DavidL: Nominating the UTO track for Best Album Cover of the Week.
	♥ 4:46pm rx scabin: @Neil all purchased.
	4:46pm P-90: Yes. X this song is almost a take on “Breathe” from Dark Side of the Moon
	♥ 4:46pm StringOFperils: Yes, I was getting PF too. AIR''s Floydy sdtrk to Virgin Suicides also came to mind
	4:46pm katharsis: Different musicians this week and they opened with u2. Phil Collins is just a hop skip and a jump away
	4:47pm Citrouille: @guache knee, I know the feeling. So happy you got a personal note from Whitney!
	4:49pm Cecile: Neil, it depends. Sometimes I like things in 5 seconds. Sometimes it takes years for a song to get through to me, if it even does.
	4:49pm Dave In Leicester: Sandy Toes what a completely beautiful song
	♥ 4:51pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	♥ 4:51pm Andrew_in_WI: Ooh, already clicky-starred this one back in 2020
	♥ 4:51pm rx scabin: @Cecule you have to have the right ears on.
	♥ 4:51pm captain beef fart: Happy Friday!!! Finishing Mondays with Olivia and starting weekends with Sheila are soul-saving bookends to the M-F rat race ! Yes that MFing rat race...
	♥ 4:52pm DjLorraine: Hudson Valley what is this whole building for 3 k? Is there a decent area for low income people? (Asking for friend..)
	♥ 4:52pm Handy Haversack: Here's to getting a damn break, captain!
	♥ 4:53pm captain beef fart: Here's to your break, HH!
	4:54pm djsheilab: Hey Dave In Leicester, captain beef fart, + Andrew in WI!
	4:55pm Cecile: rx s - yeah. Or the life experience where the song makes sense.
	4:55pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Sheila B! Whoa, that Wendy Rene track! Gotta look into that Stax Rarities.
	4:56pm michael z: Hearing Ruth Etting and Sophie Tucker makes me long for an entirely pre-WWII SBB show. Or at least an hour segment.
	4:56pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Cecile, I too am Gen X. Class of 85.
	♥ 4:57pm dreamyandseedy: michael z has a great idea!
	4:57pm Citrouille: @djlorraine, I just moved from there and low income people are being priced out like crazy. Maybe Poughkeepsie because it seems like for all their attempts to gentrify it just won’t take. But even that is getting pricey, and parts of the city aren’t great. Newburgh is evolving. That is where all the 30 something Beacon residents seem to be going to buy a house since the were priced out as well.
	♥ 4:57pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, captain! Only several hours of cleaning and packing to get through first, but at least all of that can be done drink in hand! Also a softball game. Which, similar!
	4:58pm Thin Slice: Would have sworn this was the Shangs
	4:58pm michael z: But then The Jelly Beans come on and kill it, and I have to acknowledge that it's the variety of SBB that makes it the best radio show since John Peel's Top Gear
	4:58pm Heidella: This show has been so good for the soul!
	4:59pm Cecile: I'm not Gen X, Neil.
	5:01pm gauche knee: Thanks everyone ! It really meant so much when I was tiny and my world was so big & scary. A little kindness can go such a long way 💕
	5:02pm djsheilab: Sly & Robbie on drums + bass!
	5:02pm djsheilab: Thank you Michael Z!
	♥ 5:03pm Picante Mint: Just turned a friend onto WFMU and specifically this set. Hell yes.
	♥ 5:04pm Michael 98145: you certainly uncover some amazing recordings
	5:04pm Jett: @DjSheilaB Just arrived at home, been listening, the show sounds great. Hope both Alvy and you are doing great. Thanks for playing such wonderful music.
	♥ 5:04pm DjLorraine: Gauche knee yes that was a cool story.
	5:05pm Jett: a big hello and hug 🫂 for my supercool friend @DjLorraine
	♥ 5:08pm rx scabin: Anything with Sly and Robbie.
	5:08pm katharsis: Yes! Follow you follow me!
	♥ 5:08pm Picante Mint: Digging that Pecker track.
	5:09pm Jett: At that time I was listening to so much Sly & Robbie, but I don't remember ever hearing Pecker, great track! @DjSheilaB
	5:09pm WM: Asha Puthli sang two songs on Ornette Coleman's Science Fiction, All My Life and What Reason Couldd I Give. Her vocal style fits very well with Coleman's very original songs.
	♥ 5:11pm Various Julius: It's grillin' season I need my swag apron
	♥ 5:11pm DjLorraine: Jett 😎 hehe
	5:12pm Rick G: Super thankful for my swag arrival. My annual party is tomorrow and I can use the kitchen gear!
	5:12pm djsheilab: Hey Jett!
	5:16pm JtotheK: Enjoying Dee Dee and the other jams today, Sheila!
	♥ 5:18pm artbrau: "File under Baleric Sound" Is that what the Abba records say?
	♥ 5:21pm Bimbus Bambus: Gitchi gitchi ya ya...wait
	♥ 5:21pm rx scabin: @WM get the AP album listed in Sheila's playlist: excellent.
	5:22pm Jett: Hey there you amazing @DjSheilaB Such great consistency! Wonder what a regular SheilaB show(not just female fronted) would sound like.
	♥ 5:22pm rx scabin: Even Bob Dylan.
	5:23pm Cecile: Alternate title "I want to call my boyfriend at the boy idol camp but they haven't invented burner phones yet."
	5:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Second tier cities (think Austin) are flooded with escapees of first tier cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco) whose residents are fleeing to third tier cities (Albuquerque, Boise) who are all having a housing price boom until recently. NOW there are more houses coming on the market than are selling, thus instantly becoming more of a buyers market within a couple months. An average house in Albuquerque that was 160k five years ago are now almost 300k. But THAT WILL CHANGE.
	5:25pm Jett: @DjLorraine When am I gonna get to hear a DJLorraine show?
	5:26pm Cecile: aw, prog. Gonna go listen to some Ateez now.
	5:26pm Jett: @DjSheilaB oh well.
	5:26pm kate D: was waiting for it....and here we are PHIL
	♥ 5:29pm Mike J: The inevitable extinction of our species, thanks Phil!!
	5:30pm Cecile: Mingi, the rapper from Ateez, always sounds like he's taken too many soccer balls to the head. Bless his heart.
	♥ 5:31pm maestroso: Ah, good song!
	5:32pm Ochre Ogre: Never heard this, gotta admit Phil does a shredding impersonation of Peter Gabe.
	♥ 5:33pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The hatred of the Genesis songs is silly. As if it's SO much different than other uptempo songs SheilaB plays. It's not.
	5:33pm Jett: You really want everyone to appreciate Phil Collins' Genesis but it's a toughy. @DjSheilaB
	5:33pm Cecile: Ah, the air horn just went off in the middle of the song. Time to come back.
	5:34pm djsheilab: Jett—I'm just playing what I love, and Genesis n' Phil are at the top right now.
	5:34pm Jett: @WoodsofNH I disagree.
	5:35pm djsheilab: Thank you, WoodsofNH + maestroso!
	♥ 5:35pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm reminded of John Stewart doing his dinosaur arms bit..."Oh! Genesis!! Oh!! Phil Collins! Ohhh!!!"
	♥ 5:35pm G: Music is music. I never got why people have to put white hats and black hats on particular acts or genres. Keep the free in freeform!
	5:36pm Cecile: I do not like Genesis, but Sheila does. Good for her. It's no problem in this day and age for me to pop off, listen to something else, and return.
	♥ 5:36pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Jett You can dislike it but it's what SheilaB hears in her head, not you.
	5:36pm djsheilab: Love ya, G!
	5:36pm Dave In Leicester: Love it when a song stops you in your tracks
	♥ 5:36pm G: :-)
	5:36pm Jett: @DjSheilaB You know you can get away with anything with me. You're the only one that I would allow to play that even in my house.
	5:37pm djsheilab: Genesis tribute night at Jett's place!
	♥ 5:37pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm in! Ha.
	5:37pm michael z: I'd Love To See is gorgeous. What year is it from? What a discovery.
	♥ 5:38pm rx scabin: Duke Ellington said that there were two types of music: good and bad.
	♥ 5:38pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): On that account, I think Duke Ellington was full of crap.
	5:38pm djsheilab: michael z—I spent hours searching for the release date and couldn't find anything. Very frustrating!
	5:40pm BenZ WPB: I was at the Goodwill thrifting for records today and I came across the Genesis Abacab record but when I picked it up I realized there was no record inside!!! Did get a double Keith Jarrett and the first Band record though
	5:40pm djsheilab: This new Florist is EXCELLENT!
	♥ 5:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Can't go wrong with any Keith Jarrett record. Though that one his did on guitar might push that a little.
	5:42pm djsheilab: Benz WPB—Love hearing about shopping for Genesis records (not that you were looking specifically for Abacab :)
	♥ 5:43pm common: sheila b. all. happy friday
	5:44pm BenZ WPB: I recently picked up Wind & Wuthering in excellent shape.
	♥ 5:44pm DjLorraine: Jett i havent dj-ed in decades yrs. And speaking was not my strong suit then. Singing harmony was always fun in bands tho.
	♥ 5:44pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: i remember trying to look for the 1st genesis album (1969) once ... never did find it until once day when i wasn't looking for it ... guess you could say genesis gave me a revelation
	5:46pm djsheilab: Ooooh more Genesis record shopping stories! Thanks Vanessa T!
	♥ 5:46pm maestroso: Wonderful show SheilaB! Been listening since the beginning.
	♥ 5:50pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Things you find out if you read Phil's memoir: the more pop-oriented stuff was not necessarily Phil's idea. Also, Phil did _not_ want to take over the lead singer spot. Fun book.
	♥ 5:50pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, DJ Sheila
	5:50pm Clo: Lovely show as always. Thank you Sheila. Have a great weekend everyone.
	5:51pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Sheila B!
	♥ 5:52pm Michael 98145: Don't forget to hydrate
	♥ 5:53pm DjLorraine: Jett plus i might bring up urgent veterans needs over burn pits and get called to the office
	5:55pm kate D: another haunting piece -- a real David Lynch like ending to the show...thanks for the talent DJ SB!
	♥ 5:55pm Jason from Houston: Cheers, buddies. Thank you, Sheila B.
	♥ 5:56pm alanSixº: chill show sheila thanx have a great weekend
	♥ 5:57pm diciassette: thank you Sheila B
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sheila. Much enjoyed!
	♥ 5:59pm Vanessa Tara: grazie, sheila!!!

	♥ 3:10pm Handy Haversack: Hello and fond Friday greetings, Sheila and all the Dear Listeners and most sophisticated of Boom Boomers!
	3:10pm djsheilab: P-90—Oh I very much like this ABBA-PROG discussion suggestion :)
	3:11pm Robm: Love abba has anyone watched mama mia?
	♥ 3:12pm Handy Haversack: Sorry I'm late. Goblin has forced me to pay a visit to my socks guy. That. Cat.
	♥ 3:12pm G: I recall the first big ABBA 45, the Eurovision song contest winner, Waterloo, being inescapable on radio when I was living in the UK as a kid, gonna say 73 or early 74...
	♥ 3:12pm artbrau: I think "prog" requires playing instruments. Good afternoon!
	3:12pm Robm: @Handy damn cat:) @G howdy
	3:13pm djsheilab: Hey Handy, artbrau + G!
	♥ 3:13pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	3:15pm djsheilab: artbrau—But ABBA had a load of fabulous Swedish session cats! That sounds very prog to me :)
	3:16pm Mike tp: HI SHEILA.BEEN enjoying DERYA who you played month or so ago.this female ballad is beautiful 😍❤
	3:16pm PuraVida: Her voice is so pure, wow....
	3:16pm mike: "prog" is such a silly label being slapped onto whatever often with no reason at all...
	♥ 3:16pm G: Hey, all -- Mary Ellen here in the room where we work online is on a delicate case settlement Zoom discussion for the first hour of this show today -- hoping to turn audio back on within the hour :-(
	3:17pm Robm: @G there is always the archives
	3:18pm djsheilab: I bring back this Abbey Lincoln because its message needs to be cast far + wide. And radio waves are magic!
	♥ 3:18pm G: Yup :-)
	3:19pm djsheilab: Hey Jason from Houston, mike, PureVida + Mike tp!
	3:19pm Editor B: Love this Abbey Lincoln song.
	3:19pm PuraVida: Hi djsheilab
	3:19pm Malcontent: This is the most perfect Abbey Lincoln album.
	3:19pm Mike tp: HAKO N ABBEY.lovin these 2 cuts.just popped in...
	♥ 3:20pm DjLorraine: Welcome back. I would like to meet some Swedish session cats. Cooh John🙋‍♀️
	♥ 3:20pm Michael 98145: "Where will i go tomorrow Where will i go tomorrow I can't see the shadow" sez the robot
	3:20pm djsheilab: Malcontent—Truly. Hello Editor B + DJLorraine!
	♥ 3:20pm Bimbus Bambus: Prog and its gatekeepers probably care a little too much about who is doing the virtuoso soloing, but it doesn't matter. ABBA's Eagle is for sure a prog song. At least a little!
	♥ 3:21pm Jason from Houston: Malcontent tells no lies.
	3:21pm michael z: Such an amazing song from Abbey Lincoln. I love the guitar solo.
	3:22pm Malcontent: Guitar by Pat Metheny -- pronounced "meh-thee-knee" BTW.
	♥ 3:23pm Peter in SEA: Boom Boom! Happy Friday Sheila and sophisticates!
	3:23pm djsheilab: I've got goosebumps listening to that ending.
	♥ 3:23pm G: Not a few groups in the early to mid 70s blended proggy and poppy aspects, in pursuit of mainstream commercial success -- early ELO, "Bohemian Rhapsody," etc. ABBA fits in some with that.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Malcontent—Best known as Kenny G's biggest fan!
	♥ 3:25pm Peter in SEA: You've all seen I hope Steve Coogan's SAXONDALE, in which he plays a former PROG roadie?It's worth a look ;-)
	♥ 3:25pm Jason from Houston: Gah. I gotta watch that Kenny G doc still. LOL
	♥ 3:25pm Michael 98145: Cripes. I love tracks like this.
	3:25pm djsheilab: Peter in SEA—Straight to the top of the list. Thanks!
	3:25pm Malcontent: @djsheilab I worked with Pat on a couple projects. The man has huge ears... and no receding opinions. I love him dearly.
	3:26pm djsheilab: Malcontent—Ah that's lovely.
	♥ 3:26pm Peter in SEA: This voice is literally sending a frisson up my spine! This Iranian vocal stuff you've been sharing is so good!
	3:27pm djsheilab: Never noticed that dancing bass on this Googoosh track! FAB.
	3:29pm Robm: @Peter in SEA wonder if anyone from IRAN are listening to this strange wonderful station?
	♥ 3:31pm D Rok: Late to the party. Hi Friday Friends!
	♥ 3:31pm Handy Haversack: Peter (@3:25): Is that the one where he's an exterminator?
	3:31pm mike: yeah, so much for islamic theocracy...
	♥ 3:32pm Various Julius: Saxondale is great. "New shoes!"
	♥ 3:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hey everybody. Happy Friday. Loved that Abbey Lincoln. I bought it because Pat Metheny is on it but man, loved her voice.
	♥ 3:33pm Picante Mint: Loving this optimistic track. Dang!
	♥ 3:33pm listener james from westwood: This Tomu is utterly charming!
	♥ 3:35pm rx scabin: Prog, schmog.
	3:36pm P-90: Who better than Steve Coogan to play a “former prog band roadie”?
	♥ 3:36pm DavidL: An endorsement for Saxondale, that's a good one!
	♥ 3:36pm rx scabin: @Robm I think WFMU can find out who is listening from where.
	3:37pm Robm: @rx scabin I don’t think they would tell us anyway
	♥ 3:37pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'd love it if there was a FMU web page that showed the globe and where everybody was listening from.
	♥ 3:38pm the Hurston moor-elf: Try using discogs.org, Sheila, it's remarkably thorough for that kind of thing.
	♥ 3:38pm listener james from westwood: We lost something when we lost the age of blogs and RSS feeds. And Google Reader.
	♥ 3:38pm the Hurston moor-elf: Ah, OK, you know : )
	♥ 3:39pm Michael 98145: ooh. fun production.
	♥ 3:40pm Handy Haversack: I'm off the blogosphere because so much of it is Google. Sorry, Blogspot bloggers. Can't follow you there anymore.
	3:40pm Analog Nights: Brooklyn is fine. Kingston is boring.
	♥ 3:40pm Bimbus Bambus: This would almost fit in on the new Beyoncé album
	♥ 3:40pm listener james from westwood: Branigan "Self-Control"–esque in the best way.
	3:41pm WM: Regarding Abby Lincoln's Throw it All Away, Ezra Pound had a similar insight in Canto LXXXI: What thou lovest well remains, the rest is dross What thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee What thou lov’st well is thy true heritage
	♥ 3:41pm admiral crisp: wait wait, like kingston, ny?
	3:42pm Cooh John: 👍 U.S. Girls.
	3:42pm djsheilab: admiral crisp—Yup. A critique of moving upstate during the Pandemic.
	♥ 3:43pm dreamyandseedy: iconic video for this song!
	3:43pm PuraVida: That Stewart's on Zena Rd in Kingston on the way to Woodstock is a lifesaver. Also they have 16oz 6-packs of cream soda. I once drove the guys from Bad Brains who own a house down Zena Rd...
	3:44pm djsheilab: Hello WoodsofNH, DavidL, D Rok, the Hurston moor-elf + Analog Nights!
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: There was a song that came out in like late 2020 or early 2021 that was actually about leaving the city, and every time it came on, I got so mad. "Don't let the door hit your ass" was pretty much the sum total of my trenchant and incisive criticism on that one.
	3:45pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Totally!
	3:47pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—During the height of the Pandemic I did a show about NYC and those leaving. It was so shocking to see Brooklyn littered with moving trucks.
	♥ 3:47pm artbrau: Deposit is the new Saugerties.
	3:48pm PuraVida: Thank you for the Alice Coltrane, Sheila...
	3:48pm djsheilab: PuraVida—My pleasure!
	♥ 3:48pm Bimbus Bambus: This album is such a gift.
	3:48pm Robm: @Sheliab they must have moved to the cultural wasteland that is Florida
	♥ 3:48pm Peter in SEA: @Handy: yep! And his wife, who is great, has a T-shirt shop at the mall :-)
	3:49pm Rick G: Thank you for playing some Alice Coltrane! That is someone way overdue for a biopic. What a life.
	3:49pm djsheilab: WM—Thank you for sharing these words. Magical just like Abbey's!
	♥ 3:50pm Jason from Houston: Don't let the doorknob hit ya where the good lord split ya.
	3:51pm Cecile: hello all. i was listening to the new Ateez album. Someone it said it sounded like the producers were listening to Death Grips. So I listened to some Death Grips. Now I really need to hear something that's not Ateez or Death Grips.
	♥ 3:51pm rx scabin: I love this. I think Trouble played it.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Cecile—You're safe here :)
	3:53pm Cecile: I see! Although that Death Grips is catchy in a slamming your head against the door kind of way.
	3:53pm N'Lo: @sheilab this Alice Coltrane is making me stop furiously pounding at the last email and stopping to close my eyes, unclench jaw, and breathe. Thank you for Friday release. 🧘🏻‍♀️
	3:53pm mike: death grips are some sort of hip-hop metal, aren't they
	♥ 3:54pm admiral crisp: i just told my sister who lives in kingston about the US girls song and she said "for real though everyone here is from Brooklyn and is a DJ and has money"
	3:54pm kate D: Haunting. This has a very David Lynch Lost Highway kinda vibe to me...
	♥ 3:54pm rx scabin: Sometimes, you might need to slam your head.
	♥ 3:55pm rx scabin: Or bang your head.
	3:55pm PuraVida: Tresor (Treasure) is Gwenno’s third full length solo album and the second almost entirely in Cornish, with one track in Welsh, her other native language.
	3:55pm djsheilab: admiral crisp—I didn't realize they were all DJs too! Haha.
	3:55pm Cecile: They're kind of like if Sleaford Mods, Suicide, and clipping. decided to play together.
	♥ 3:55pm dreamyandseedy: Gwenno is enchanting!
	3:56pm PuraVida: Questlove left the city & moved upstate...
	3:57pm djsheilab: PuraVida—A different sort of city and upstate....
	3:57pm PuraVida: (nevermmind)
	3:59pm Cecile: I remember Brian Turner playing this CD by Estron, which was these cut-up Welsh folk records with electronics. Very soothing.
	3:59pm Robm: Too me anything above New York City is upstate New York, staten island i am not too sure about
	♥ 4:01pm Bimbus Bambus: I love hearing new Gwenno, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss The Pipettes.
	4:01pm PuraVida: I left NYC on August 1st 2011, moved to Costa Rica. Stayed for 6 years. Haven't been back since.
	♥ 4:04pm Jason from Houston: Phew... Here for this.
	4:04pm PuraVida: Listened to Staples Singers - Fillmore West San Francisco CA April 19th 1968 Soundboard a couple of days ago. They will NEVER go out out of style...
	♥ 4:05pm Michael 98145: Whoa
	4:05pm N'Lo: This Anna Savage cover is giving me all the chills!!!!
	4:06pm kate D: Damn.
	4:06pm mike: original by edwyn collins
	♥ 4:06pm pgalub: Greetings Sheila and everyone! Sounding great! 🎸
	4:06pm Cecile: I got scared. I'll be back after I listen to some Ateez.
	4:06pm Cooh John: Nice version.
	♥ 4:07pm Michael 98145: Where's Julie? 😊
	4:07pm gauche knee: @Robm I find many NYC lifers feel this way. My Syracuse buds lol when I call Rockland County Upstate.
	4:10pm Cecile: back.
	4:10pm gauche knee: Anyone know the Ep Sheila B’s talking about re: everyone moving out of Bk/NYC?
	♥ 4:11pm rx scabin: @Pura Vida - lucky!
	4:12pm Hudson Valley: Newburgh is the place upstate!
	♥ 4:12pm rx scabin: Please do not call Western NY upstate. It is sort of side state.
	♥ 4:14pm _Ike_: Yes, yes, this! Yes.
	4:15pm Hudson Valley: If you want to live like the NEw Yorkers of the 70s 80s - move to Newburgh - you can get a while building for 3K
	♥ 4:16pm Michael 98145: we like when you read to us
	4:16pm iLikedWaterworld: damn
	♥ 4:16pm dreamyandseedy: wow! that passage goes perfectly with what we learned in 4,000 weeks
	4:17pm gauche knee: finger snaps fantastic, Sheila B!
	4:18pm djsheilab: gauche knee—Here you go! www.wfmu.org...
	4:18pm Cecile: WHO HURT YOUR LORRAINE?
	♥ 4:20pm Michael 98145: what beautiful tracks
	4:20pm djsheilab: Thanks Michael 98145!
	♥ 4:21pm Michael 98145: Don't think i've ever heard of Bobby H
	4:22pm Cecile: I found the original by Eddie jones on Spotify. I also found a Joe Pesci version!?!?!?!?!
	4:23pm djsheilab: Cecile—A Joe Pesci version?!!! That is VERY EXCITING!!
	♥ 4:23pm Jason from Houston: GODDAMN
	♥ 4:24pm StringOFperils: I misread that as Joe Piscopo version for a moment, and cringed.
	4:24pm Cecile: I know! It's not bad. I'm surprised at how light his voice is.
	4:25pm Cecile: to listen to later. open.spotify.com...
	♥ 4:26pm Michael 98145: whoa. pegging that needle.
	4:27pm gauche knee: Thank you, amazing Sheila B! Can’t wait to dig in! 💗🎧
	4:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sophie Tucker is AMAZING!
	♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145: "Some singers want to be famous, others are pop star icons, and some are artists; Asha is the latter. Asha is a true force of nature"
	♥ 4:27pm rx scabin: Wicky Wacky!
	4:28pm Cooh John: Hurray for the filth.
	♥ 4:28pm Michael 98145: what hinky dinky leads to ...
	4:29pm michael z: Beautiful naughty Sophie Tucker.
	4:31pm Cecile: Whitney!
	4:31pm gauche knee: Yaaaaaass 💃🏾🕺🏾
	♥ 4:31pm disco_nap_: One of my fav Whitney songs 💜
	4:32pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Prog implies that the musicians are highly skilled. Session musicians qualify I think. I would say Donna Summer's work with Giorgio Morodor are therefore somewhat proggy. "I Need Love" comes to mind. I mean, if ABBA can, then so can Donna Summer prog out. She was not a "prog gruoup" of course but some songs, sure.
	4:32pm PuraVida: Another East Orange NJ product
	4:32pm djsheilab: Whitney's voice is an incredible instrument.
	♥ 4:33pm StringOFperils: Yeah. This is superhuman. And she's inventing the future. Took its toll tho.
	4:34pm Cecile: Whitney actually was on a prog record herself. She sang a cover of Hugh Hopper's Memories with Bill Laswell, etc. behind her.
	4:35pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I know a computer science prof that got angry and completely disagreed when I posited King Crimson was a blend of free jazz and heavy metal. I still thing they are. Whitney Houston predates AutoTune, right? She REALLY CAN SING that way, eh?
	4:35pm Cecile: 16 years old when it was recorded in 1984.
	4:36pm michael z: I love Sheila's commitment to new French music...
	♥ 4:36pm Michael 98145: oui
	4:36pm djsheilab: michael z—Always digging for the good stuff!
	4:37pm Cecile: I can hear a Kpop girl group lifting this for a track.
	4:37pm Cecile: Throw a bunch of electric guitars on there and you have Dreamcatcher's next single.
	4:38pm N'Lo: J’adore ce UTO!
	♥ 4:38pm Michael 98145: 🔔
	4:39pm Cecile: I loved this.
	4:39pm gauche knee: I wrote to Whitney in kindergarten, after months I got a signed pic & a tiny handwritten note saying “___, what a beautiful name!” Growing up the only visibly brown skinned girl in my school /neighborhood with a difficult name no one could pronounce or cared to try…that meant everything to me. Love u, Whitney! ♥️
	♥ 4:40pm dreamyandseedy: @gauche knee: that is so cool!
	4:40pm Cecile: that's wonderful, gauche knee!
	4:41pm Rusty: I appreciate you Sheila!🌹always a good show
	♥ 4:41pm Picante Mint: @gauche knee that's really sweet and rad!
	♥ 4:41pm disco_nap_: Yes! I was so pleasantly surprised by how good the Whitney doc was!
	♥ 4:42pm Michael 98145: Asha - mrbongo.bandcamp.com...
	4:42pm P-90: “…gut wrenching heartache just SPILLED ALL OVER that record…!”
	♥ 4:42pm rx scabin: Doesn't prog mean progressive? That covers a lot of territory.
	4:43pm djsheilab: Thank you Rusty!
	4:44pm Cecile: Speaking of prog, this is giving me a very 70s Pink Floyd vibe.
	4:44pm djsheilab: gauche knee—What a moving Whitney story!!!!
	4:45pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @RX scabin-that is correct! Apoife Nessa Frances is astounding! My coworker is annoyed because I could tell her if I liked a song in 30 seconds she wanted me to listen to. Guess I'm closeminded, but I knew I liked Aoife in maybe 5 seconds, no looking back. Anybody else? How long do YOU have to listen before you know? The is so MUCH I just don't like I can ID it immediately,
	♥ 4:45pm DavidL: Nominating the UTO track for Best Album Cover of the Week.
	♥ 4:46pm rx scabin: @Neil all purchased.
	4:46pm P-90: Yes. X this song is almost a take on “Breathe” from Dark Side of the Moon
	♥ 4:46pm StringOFperils: Yes, I was getting PF too. AIR''s Floydy sdtrk to Virgin Suicides also came to mind
	4:46pm katharsis: Different musicians this week and they opened with u2. Phil Collins is just a hop skip and a jump away
	4:47pm Citrouille: @guache knee, I know the feeling. So happy you got a personal note from Whitney!
	4:49pm Cecile: Neil, it depends. Sometimes I like things in 5 seconds. Sometimes it takes years for a song to get through to me, if it even does.
	4:49pm Dave In Leicester: Sandy Toes what a completely beautiful song
	♥ 4:51pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	♥ 4:51pm Andrew_in_WI: Ooh, already clicky-starred this one back in 2020
	♥ 4:51pm rx scabin: @Cecule you have to have the right ears on.
	♥ 4:51pm captain beef fart: Happy Friday!!! Finishing Mondays with Olivia and starting weekends with Sheila are soul-saving bookends to the M-F rat race ! Yes that MFing rat race...
	♥ 4:52pm DjLorraine: Hudson Valley what is this whole building for 3 k? Is there a decent area for low income people? (Asking for friend..)
	♥ 4:52pm Handy Haversack: Here's to getting a damn break, captain!
	♥ 4:53pm captain beef fart: Here's to your break, HH!
	4:54pm djsheilab: Hey Dave In Leicester, captain beef fart, + Andrew in WI!
	4:55pm Cecile: rx s - yeah. Or the life experience where the song makes sense.
	4:55pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Sheila B! Whoa, that Wendy Rene track! Gotta look into that Stax Rarities.
	4:56pm michael z: Hearing Ruth Etting and Sophie Tucker makes me long for an entirely pre-WWII SBB show. Or at least an hour segment.
	4:56pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Cecile, I too am Gen X. Class of 85.
	♥ 4:57pm dreamyandseedy: michael z has a great idea!
	4:57pm Citrouille: @djlorraine, I just moved from there and low income people are being priced out like crazy. Maybe Poughkeepsie because it seems like for all their attempts to gentrify it just won’t take. But even that is getting pricey, and parts of the city aren’t great. Newburgh is evolving. That is where all the 30 something Beacon residents seem to be going to buy a house since the were priced out as well.
	♥ 4:57pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, captain! Only several hours of cleaning and packing to get through first, but at least all of that can be done drink in hand! Also a softball game. Which, similar!
	4:58pm Thin Slice: Would have sworn this was the Shangs
	4:58pm michael z: But then The Jelly Beans come on and kill it, and I have to acknowledge that it's the variety of SBB that makes it the best radio show since John Peel's Top Gear
	4:58pm Heidella: This show has been so good for the soul!
	4:59pm Cecile: I'm not Gen X, Neil.
	5:01pm gauche knee: Thanks everyone ! It really meant so much when I was tiny and my world was so big & scary. A little kindness can go such a long way 💕
	5:02pm djsheilab: Sly & Robbie on drums + bass!
	5:02pm djsheilab: Thank you Michael Z!
	♥ 5:03pm Picante Mint: Just turned a friend onto WFMU and specifically this set. Hell yes.
	♥ 5:04pm Michael 98145: you certainly uncover some amazing recordings
	5:04pm Jett: @DjSheilaB Just arrived at home, been listening, the show sounds great. Hope both Alvy and you are doing great. Thanks for playing such wonderful music.
	♥ 5:04pm DjLorraine: Gauche knee yes that was a cool story.
	5:05pm Jett: a big hello and hug 🫂 for my supercool friend @DjLorraine
	♥ 5:08pm rx scabin: Anything with Sly and Robbie.
	5:08pm katharsis: Yes! Follow you follow me!
	♥ 5:08pm Picante Mint: Digging that Pecker track.
	5:09pm Jett: At that time I was listening to so much Sly & Robbie, but I don't remember ever hearing Pecker, great track! @DjSheilaB
	5:09pm WM: Asha Puthli sang two songs on Ornette Coleman's Science Fiction, All My Life and What Reason Couldd I Give. Her vocal style fits very well with Coleman's very original songs.
	♥ 5:11pm Various Julius: It's grillin' season I need my swag apron
	♥ 5:11pm DjLorraine: Jett 😎 hehe
	5:12pm Rick G: Super thankful for my swag arrival. My annual party is tomorrow and I can use the kitchen gear!
	5:12pm djsheilab: Hey Jett!
	5:16pm JtotheK: Enjoying Dee Dee and the other jams today, Sheila!
	♥ 5:18pm artbrau: "File under Baleric Sound" Is that what the Abba records say?
	♥ 5:21pm Bimbus Bambus: Gitchi gitchi ya ya...wait
	♥ 5:21pm rx scabin: @WM get the AP album listed in Sheila's playlist: excellent.
	5:22pm Jett: Hey there you amazing @DjSheilaB Such great consistency! Wonder what a regular SheilaB show(not just female fronted) would sound like.
	♥ 5:22pm rx scabin: Even Bob Dylan.
	5:23pm Cecile: Alternate title "I want to call my boyfriend at the boy idol camp but they haven't invented burner phones yet."
	5:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Second tier cities (think Austin) are flooded with escapees of first tier cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco) whose residents are fleeing to third tier cities (Albuquerque, Boise) who are all having a housing price boom until recently. NOW there are more houses coming on the market than are selling, thus instantly becoming more of a buyers market within a couple months. An average house in Albuquerque that was 160k five years ago are now almost 300k. But THAT WILL CHANGE.
	5:25pm Jett: @DjLorraine When am I gonna get to hear a DJLorraine show?
	5:26pm Cecile: aw, prog. Gonna go listen to some Ateez now.
	5:26pm Jett: @DjSheilaB oh well.
	5:26pm kate D: was waiting for it....and here we are PHIL
	♥ 5:29pm Mike J: The inevitable extinction of our species, thanks Phil!!
	5:30pm Cecile: Mingi, the rapper from Ateez, always sounds like he's taken too many soccer balls to the head. Bless his heart.
	♥ 5:31pm maestroso: Ah, good song!
	5:32pm Ochre Ogre: Never heard this, gotta admit Phil does a shredding impersonation of Peter Gabe.
	♥ 5:33pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The hatred of the Genesis songs is silly. As if it's SO much different than other uptempo songs SheilaB plays. It's not.
	5:33pm Jett: You really want everyone to appreciate Phil Collins' Genesis but it's a toughy. @DjSheilaB
	5:33pm Cecile: Ah, the air horn just went off in the middle of the song. Time to come back.
	5:34pm djsheilab: Jett—I'm just playing what I love, and Genesis n' Phil are at the top right now.
	5:34pm Jett: @WoodsofNH I disagree.
	5:35pm djsheilab: Thank you, WoodsofNH + maestroso!
	♥ 5:35pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm reminded of John Stewart doing his dinosaur arms bit..."Oh! Genesis!! Oh!! Phil Collins! Ohhh!!!"
	♥ 5:35pm G: Music is music. I never got why people have to put white hats and black hats on particular acts or genres. Keep the free in freeform!
	5:36pm Cecile: I do not like Genesis, but Sheila does. Good for her. It's no problem in this day and age for me to pop off, listen to something else, and return.
	♥ 5:36pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Jett You can dislike it but it's what SheilaB hears in her head, not you.
	5:36pm djsheilab: Love ya, G!
	5:36pm Dave In Leicester: Love it when a song stops you in your tracks
	♥ 5:36pm G: :-)
	5:36pm Jett: @DjSheilaB You know you can get away with anything with me. You're the only one that I would allow to play that even in my house.
	5:37pm djsheilab: Genesis tribute night at Jett's place!
	♥ 5:37pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm in! Ha.
	5:37pm michael z: I'd Love To See is gorgeous. What year is it from? What a discovery.
	♥ 5:38pm rx scabin: Duke Ellington said that there were two types of music: good and bad.
	♥ 5:38pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): On that account, I think Duke Ellington was full of crap.
	5:38pm djsheilab: michael z—I spent hours searching for the release date and couldn't find anything. Very frustrating!
	5:40pm BenZ WPB: I was at the Goodwill thrifting for records today and I came across the Genesis Abacab record but when I picked it up I realized there was no record inside!!! Did get a double Keith Jarrett and the first Band record though
	5:40pm djsheilab: This new Florist is EXCELLENT!
	♥ 5:41pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Can't go wrong with any Keith Jarrett record. Though that one his did on guitar might push that a little.
	5:42pm djsheilab: Benz WPB—Love hearing about shopping for Genesis records (not that you were looking specifically for Abacab :)
	♥ 5:43pm common: sheila b. all. happy friday
	5:44pm BenZ WPB: I recently picked up Wind & Wuthering in excellent shape.
	♥ 5:44pm DjLorraine: Jett i havent dj-ed in decades yrs. And speaking was not my strong suit then. Singing harmony was always fun in bands tho.
	♥ 5:44pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: i remember trying to look for the 1st genesis album (1969) once ... never did find it until once day when i wasn't looking for it ... guess you could say genesis gave me a revelation
	5:46pm djsheilab: Ooooh more Genesis record shopping stories! Thanks Vanessa T!
	♥ 5:46pm maestroso: Wonderful show SheilaB! Been listening since the beginning.
	♥ 5:50pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Things you find out if you read Phil's memoir: the more pop-oriented stuff was not necessarily Phil's idea. Also, Phil did _not_ want to take over the lead singer spot. Fun book.
	♥ 5:50pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, DJ Sheila
	5:50pm Clo: Lovely show as always. Thank you Sheila. Have a great weekend everyone.
	5:51pm Ochre Ogre: Thanks Sheila B!
	♥ 5:52pm Michael 98145: Don't forget to hydrate
	♥ 5:53pm DjLorraine: Jett plus i might bring up urgent veterans needs over burn pits and get called to the office
	5:55pm kate D: another haunting piece -- a real David Lynch like ending to the show...thanks for the talent DJ SB!
	♥ 5:55pm Jason from Houston: Cheers, buddies. Thank you, Sheila B.
