	🦇 3:12pm chris in the redwoods: greetings, james, Androu, Rich. hey, Ken, is that a pack of smokes rolled up in your t-shirt?
	3:13pm Sylvia: I still can’t believe ONJ is gone
	🦇 3:14pm Midge: Hello Julie and fellow listeners
	🦇 3:14pm Julie: hiya Midge! @sylvia I've been holding it in..I expect the dam to break round about 7pm if not a bit before.
	3:15pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hello, Julie and all… from The French Garden!
	🦇 3:15pm Julie: I like this cello...or cello equivalent
	🦇 3:15pm Julie: hiya SMS! I hope you two can stay up for the olivia tribute!
	🦇 3:15pm Julie: is it yucky hot there too?
	3:16pm Sylvia: no, very warm but low humidity makes all the difference
	3:17pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: It’s not too bad! Last week a bit melty but this week not too bad!
	🦇 3:21pm B R M: Gary! ❤️
	3:21pm Androu B.: The news about ONJ just floored me now that I'm hearing it firsthand here. She was quite successful at being a businessperson with her Koala Blue store in LA. Did she ever get to expand it into a chain before it folded?
	🦇 3:22pm Phillippe: Howdy
	🦇 3:22pm Julie: okay I just realized what record is on the shelf in the oiivia photo I posted on twitter twitter.com...
	3:22pm doctorjazz: Hi Julie and all out there!
	🦇 3:23pm Julie: @Androu I don't believe so. Hiya Phillippe! Hi Doctorjazz!
	🦇 3:23pm chris in the redwoods: whoa, Julie. that's an amazing coincidence! :)
	🦇 3:24pm Julie: I think Koala Blue was very much of its time.
	🦇 3:24pm Julie: @chris I hadn't noticed! It was all I could find of her with any kind of stereo setup
	3:24pm northguineahills: i haven't found a cello equivalent, but i may have found a jello equivalent...
	🦇 3:25pm Phillippe: That Dovedale song was nice. Never heard them before
	3:26pm Androu B.: We also lost Motown record producer Lamont Dozier.
	🦇 3:27pm Julie: hiya NGH! @Androu I think I heard he was a songwriter as well?
	🦇 3:27pm B R M: I say it every time you play them, but I would love to see The Sundays come back again and see them live again) and reissue all their albums on vinyl and and and...
	🦇 3:28pm Julie: ugh I know...such lovely stuff. Harriet where are you
	3:28pm Sylvia: yes, Lamont Dozier wrote a lot of hits twitter.com...
	🦇 3:29pm Julie: wow...
	3:29pm dreamyandseedy: i enjoyed Dovedale also, and had never heard of them
	🦇 3:30pm Julie: they are local, and they have a bandcamp :)
	3:30pm dreamyandseedy: i think i missed the Indila song, i remember I liked a song you played by her a long time ago! will have to go back and listen later
	3:30pm Androu B.: That's correct, ⅓ of the songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland.
	3:32pm adamdoesit: Hi Julie and batfolk. RIP ONJ. If there's one thing Billie Jean needed, it was more cello. Problem solved.
	🦇 3:32pm Julie: hiya adamdoesit!
	🦇 3:38pm Yvang: it's french for "Autumn's Leaf"
	🦇 3:42pm Julie: thank you!
	3:43pm dreamyandseedy: Julie: did you take the picture on your main playlist page? i can never quite tell what is in the shadows beyond the fence... but i do like peering into the darkness
	🦇 3:44pm Julie: I did! It's Grace church in the village. I just love the fence.
	🦇 3:45pm Julie: if anyone got today's drummer email I took that photo of Olivia also
	🦇 3:46pm Julie: if you didn't see it, it'll be on the playlist later
	🦇 3:51pm Bas NL: I'd love the story to the photo of Olivia, Julie! I am sure you will tell us later?
	🦇 3:52pm Julie: of course.
	3:53pm dreamyandseedy: reminds me, i need to sign up for the drummer email!
	4:00pm northguineahills: diigging Wednesday and it's only Tuesday...
	🦇 4:01pm Julie: did I say hi NGH? If I didn't hi!
	🦇 4:02pm listener james from westwood: Aw, love this Plimsouls.
	🦇 4:04pm Julie: sometimes you have to go for the hit
	🦇 4:04pm chris in the redwoods: still not tired of this one. dig.
	🦇 4:04pm B R M: Plimsoul Punk by Alvvays next 🤣
	4:05pm dreamyandseedy: i like that Twin Plagues sleeve
	4:06pm Doug Schulkind: The always excellent Wesley Morris has a wonderful appraisal of ONJ in today's NYT: www.nytimes.com... Hello!
	🦇 4:09pm Bas NL: Hi Doug!
	🦇 4:10pm Julie: hi Doug! I'm being puzzled by the obits, because her husband mentions two siblings I've never heard of. Her siblings are both deceased and had different names. I'm thinking they must be from her father's 3rd marriage (whereas the ones from the first would have been older than olivia and are likely also gone)
	4:12pm northguineahills: it's twice as nice to be hied again by julie!
	🦇 4:14pm Bas NL: Yes! Played that single grey; Electric Avenue.
	🦇 4:14pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Doug. thanks for sharing! i'm old enough to remember Grant's 'electric avenue'. :) oh nooooo!
	4:16pm Androu B.: Have I mentioned before that I own "Valley Girl" on DVD? Could've sworn I did (unless it was on another chatboard).
	🦇 4:17pm Julie: Deborah Foreman FTW! I prefer My Chauffeur though. But VG is pretty fun!
	🦇 4:17pm chris in the redwoods: watch party at Androu's place! :)
	🦇 4:17pm Julie: Her parents in that are SO funny. Also I think EG Daily is one of the girls too
	4:22pm Androu B.: Correct on EG Dailey, Julie, before she went on to voice acting and became best known as the voice of Tommy Pickles on "Rugrats".
	🦇 4:24pm Julie: she'll always be a Righteous Apple to me. she was still Elizabeth back then.
	🦇 4:26pm chris in the redwoods: Julie, i recently chatted up a bartender in Salt Lake City who's a guitarist and likes to play shoe gazey riffs. I recommended your show. This Love Spirals Downwards track is a good example of why. :)
	4:28pm Jason from Houston: Love Spirals Downwards always gets me good. Phew.
	4:30pm Jason from Houston: HELL YAH
	🦇 4:31pm Bas NL: Trying to find a clever thing to word people gazing their drinks in bars to the tune of shoe gaze...
	🦇 4:31pm Julie: brewgazers
	4:32pm ike-o: peace
	4:32pm Jason from Houston: Martinigaze
	🦇 4:32pm Bas NL: :) :) :) What a great live version this!
	🦇 4:32pm Julie: hiya ike-o!
	4:32pm Jason from Houston: But I don't think shoegaze people drink martinis.
	4:33pm David (in London): Evening Julie, the Guv'nor. Ahoy all darkened groovers here gathered.
	🦇 4:33pm chris in the redwoods: ahoy, David.
	🦇 4:33pm Julie: hi there David!
	4:33pm Jason from Houston: Good evening, David.
	4:34pm Androu B.: If I didn't know better, I'd swear Tori is ripping off of herself in this. It sounds almost like "Who's Gonna Save Your Soul".
	🦇 4:34pm Bas NL: Hello David!
	4:34pm Sylvia: If I had to weigh in, shoegaze people drink wine and champagne :D
	🦇 4:34pm Julie: Save Your Soul is jewel
	4:35pm Jason from Houston: Right on, Sylvia.
	4:35pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: We may not make it to the end live tonight, dear Julie but will definitely listen back come morning here. Sending much love, as always!
	4:35pm Androu B.: OK, then it's Tori ripping off of Jewel.
	🦇 4:35pm Julie: thanks SMS!
	4:36pm David (in London): Hey S&M&S, and see ya too. Chris, Jason, Bas, Androu.
	4:37pm northguineahills: @Sylvia: Strawberry Wine?
	4:37pm Androu B.: Greets, David!
	4:38pm Sylvia: Pinot and Chardonnay
	4:38pm Sylvia: the name of this band is quite something
	4:40pm Jason from Houston: Sweet red/white vermouth?
	🦇 4:40pm Julie: I think the goal of all things is penetration, whether physical, mental or emotional
	4:40pm northguineahills: @Sylvia (i was just sneaking in my obligatory mbv reference)
	4:41pm David (in London): Taken from Iggy & The Stooges I believe, Sylvia.
	🦇 4:41pm Julie: @NGH I knew dat
	4:42pm Sylvia: that’s some food for thought, Julie
	🦇 4:43pm Bas NL: Mmm.. There was this practice of drinking from high-heeled shoes.. something from the roaring 30ies? ...
	🦇 4:43pm Julie: I mean it is certainly the case with heart...penetrate your ears and your heart?
	4:44pm David (in London): Tallulah Bankhead famously drank champagne out of her shoe at The Ritz hotel. There's a cocktail in the Rivoli Bar there now that comes in a glass shoe. It's quite fun,
	4:46pm Jason from Houston: Since the theme of my work afternoon has been Task Manager > End Task, I am going to peel off to listen in the car and see some art. Stay safe and sweet, Julie and good buddies.
	🦇 4:46pm Phillippe: lovely
	🦇 4:46pm Julie: David do you have any Olivia stories? Spent a good deal of her early career in London
	🦇 4:46pm chris in the redwoods: see ya soon, Jason.
	🦇 4:46pm Julie: thanks Jason! drive safe!
	4:47pm David (in London): Ta ra Jason. Howdy Phillippe!
	🦇 4:47pm Bas NL: Hah! Now that's shoe gazing your drink! :) (We were on that topic before you arrived, David)
	🦇 4:47pm Phillippe: DiL, what's up?
	4:49pm David (in London): Bas, Tallulah in action! www.pinterest.co.uk... Julie, sadly my ONJ knowledge is just the layman's. No special insight I'm afraid.
	🦇 4:49pm Phillippe: "Feels like" temp for here is 104 ATM...
	🦇 4:50pm chris in the redwoods: Zargon sounds like something one might find while hitchhiking the galaxy.
	🦇 4:51pm Julie: Intergalactic dish detergent.
	🦇 4:51pm chris in the redwoods: Phillippe, yikes. i hope you're inside and staying cool.
	🦇 4:52pm Bas NL: Nobody likes a dirty flying saucer.
	4:52pm David (in London): Washes cleaner, time after time. ZARGON!
	🦇 4:57pm Bas NL: Thanks for Tallulah David! :)
	🦇 4:57pm Phillippe: @chris that I am
	🦇 4:58pm Aitch: Good morning Julie and the dark
	4:58pm Androu B.: I believe this might be the best time to look back at the "Xanadu: The (Unofficial) 40th Anniversary" radio extravaganza in archives: https://wfmu.org/playlists/XA
	4:59pm northguineahills: Zargon (aka Sargon) was the leader of the Akaddian empire who conquered the south Sumerian city states in 24th c BCE. Considered the first empire builder....
	🦇 5:01pm Julie: um Androu no it's not, I'm doing a show here right now
	5:01pm dreamyandseedy: i am excited to hear your ONJ tribute. i don't know much about her except Grease songs and Physical
	🦇 5:01pm chris in the redwoods: whoa, thanks for that nugget, ngh.
	5:02pm Androu B.: Well, of course, I meant after the show, Julie. Wouldn't want to detract from your show in any way.
	🦇 5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Awlright. Let's appreciate this Mod '60s ♎︎Libran crush magnet, shall we?
	🦇 5:04pm Julie: I THINK this is a Jackie DeShannon song
	🦇 5:04pm Bas NL: Wow! From 1966!
	🦇 5:05pm Julie: as I said...she was an overnight sensation, who'd been in the business for years
	5:05pm Dean: She was channeling Ronnie Spector in '66, I guess.
	🦇 5:05pm Julie: hiya Rev!
	5:05pm David (in London): Those matching yellow bri-nylon outfits are the bomb. We should never have left 1970.
	🦇 5:05pm Julie: okay who here has actually SEEN the movie Toomorrow.
	🦇 5:06pm Julie: @dean wasn't everyone? also Hiya! Very sweet of you to email yesterday.
	🦇 5:07pm Julie: this, I think, is Olivia at her most Dark Night of the Soul musically
	🦇 5:08pm chris in the redwoods: David, it appears they ran out of that fabric while making Olivia's skirt.
	🦇 5:09pm Julie: I have no idea what happened to the other guys in Toomorrow.
	🦇 5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ONJ had that definitive girlish Soprano voice. Technically actually really precise & even strong with good lungs - tho' the high register makes people think otherwise. An archetypal kind of Pop voice. Sometimes her versions of a song seemed performative & lacked affectation by comparison - but otherwise I'm often surprised by how expressive - & certainly sensual she was. Which surprises no one. :)
	🦇 5:11pm Julie: although she has some power I think she can be very quiet, I get the impression they boosted her volume quite a bit. My Olivia albums have always seemed "HOT" to me
	5:11pm Asheville Jon: hope to hear Xanadu!
	🦇 5:11pm Julie: hiya Asheville!
	🦇 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Makes sense. There wasn't a lot of her !...
	5:11pm Asheville Jon: howdy Julie!
	🦇 5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but she holds some notes long enuff...
	🦇 5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Pat Benatar was a 90 lbs. air raid siren - a relative anomaly I suppose ...but that's Rawk. :)
	🦇 5:13pm Julie: the popular review at the time was "if white bread could sing"
	🦇 5:14pm Julie: she's not lacking in strength she just wasn't a belter.
	🦇 5:14pm chris in the redwoods: ouch
	🦇 5:14pm Julie: yeah she laughed all the way to grammys and gold records
	5:15pm dreamyandseedy: i heard the word Penetrate!!
	🦇 5:15pm Phillippe: @Julie have to say on that cover, I might agree (sorry)
	🦇 5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Her image involved a lot of Wholesomeness. The character of Sandy in Grease demonstrating that both sides of the tracks thing was apparently totally on point & perfect casting.
	🦇 5:15pm Julie: hahah yes!
	🦇 5:15pm Julie: @phillippe like so many songs, hers was the first version I heard.
	🦇 5:16pm Julie: not unlike THIS one
	🦇 5:17pm Phillippe: I really enjoyed this cover
	🦇 5:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember that one DNotS show that closed with a cover of "What Is Life." www.wfmu.org...
	🦇 5:18pm Julie: she did a couple other George songs too, but I forget which since they are lesser known to me
	🦇 5:19pm chris in the redwoods: this is an amazing cover.
	🦇 5:19pm Julie: so good. I used to sing this at karaoke because of her version
	5:20pm David (in London): Have you never been mellow? Has she just taken a bong hit in that photo then?
	🦇 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When Susan Jacks passed just this April - we all thot a lot about what a versatile & classic Pop Voice she had - & how omparable to ONJ but more range. Whatever. ONJ is iconic for what she did.
	🦇 5:21pm Julie: She didn't become a stoner till her 60s I think!
	5:21pm David (in London): Strong double denim there, Olivia. Guess it was '74.
	🦇 5:21pm Julie: that there was the first record I ever bought myself, it was already old but it was very exciting
	5:22pm David (in London): Feels as though she should have duetted with Scott (Walker) in this period.
	5:22pm Dean: I went to a high school with a strong drama department, some of the graduates from which moved on to a local junior college (what we called them then) with an even stronger program. Friends of mine from the high school, including a young lady who played Sandy, performed in the junior college's production of Grease. This would have been around '80, '81... Wish I could see that show again.
	🦇 5:22pm chris in the redwoods: her expression on the cover of If you Love Me... says, "take the fucking picture, Jack. I've got shit to do."
	🦇 5:22pm Julie: @david wow how lovely that would've been!
	🦇 5:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& there's Acting & Stage Presence &tc. to consider...
	🦇 5:22pm Julie: Resting Olivia Face
	🦇 5:22pm Bas NL: Wikipedia synopsis on Toomorrow: 'A group of students pay their way through school by forming a pop band called Toomorrow; sonic vibrations from a special instrument called a "tonaliser" cause an extraterrestrial to abduct the group, and have them entertain the Alphoid population.' Need to see that!
	🦇 5:23pm Julie: Bas it's on youtube!
	🦇 5:23pm Julie: it is, as they say, a trip.
	🦇 5:23pm Bas NL: :)
	🦇 5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: She's like the ♎︎Libra poster child. Arms crossed like that to weigh things...
	🦇 5:25pm Phillippe: Was the tonaliser the same as autotune? If so, bring on the aliens...
	🦇 5:25pm Julie: it's these little bits, the non lyric vocal bits that I just adore
	🦇 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was hoping was the actual Steve Howe London '67 band Tomorrow ...but sounds nutty bad~good anyhow !...
	5:27pm David (in London): Phillippe, the Tonaliser puts everything into Just Intonation, so Olivia ends up sounding like Harry Partch to the aliens, Hilarity ensues.
	🦇 5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not everybody can fly kites in the Soprano range like that.
	🦇 5:28pm Julie: and it was never done in a show offy Mariah kinda way
	5:28pm northguineahills: most ONJ tracks come pre-clickied for my own convenience.
	5:28pm Asheville Jon: wow, just skimmed through Toomorrow on youtube. looks amazing. even cheesier than Xanadu!
	5:29pm Big Hot Sky: I listened to all these songs as a wee one, so the musicality of the phonemes, the vocal tone, and the arrangements were what registered. I had zero adult context, so no particular meaning accrued from the lyrics…what a trip it is to revisit these sounds!
	🦇 5:29pm Julie: heya Big Hot Sky! Same!
	🦇 5:30pm Julie: this guitar is so pretty too
	🦇 5:31pm Julie: and when she harmonizes with herself.....EEEEEEEEE
	🦇 5:31pm Phillippe: David, I just gave a quick listen to a sample of Partch's "Barstow", I can see how that might pique an alien's attention
	🦇 5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The arranging / production is smooth 70s - but doesn't give you diabetes so to speak...
	5:31pm Dean: Fans of sopranos, don't miss the sublime Conchita Supervia. She was in fact a mezzo, but her voice was as radiant as a stellar soprano. Her gig was opera and recitals of Spanish songs. I have no doubt that were she alive today she'd be a "cross-over" celebrity.
	5:32pm northguineahills: i actually have a recording of Partch's Barstow, quite amazing....
	5:33pm Pax: Just got done with having a 2-hour blackout here. And somehow it was preventing me from connecting to fmu on my phone. Right now it's 97° feels 106°.
	🦇 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good observation re the doubletracked self-harmonizing. That is a thing.
	5:33pm David (in London): This just seems to confirm that my ONJ / Harry Partch cross-over project has legs.
	🦇 5:33pm Julie: oh Pax how awful! Glad you made it! I hope you can cool off some!
	🦇 5:34pm Julie: sending this one out to the french garden
	🦇 5:34pm Aitch: Very primary school feelings here with the ONJ. She was on the radio a LOT down here at the time. Considered a national treasure, will get a state funeral. Judy Durham similar, but a 60's thing
	🦇 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Can't decide if my body is adjusting to every day being above 85℉ or if I'm suffering damage I'm not taking full account of.
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: hiya Aitch! I imagine there it must be akin to when Princess Diana died in England.
	🦇 5:36pm Phillippe: @Pax supposed to feel like 93 at MIDNIGHT here, with 87% humidity, ugh
	🦇 5:36pm Julie: Phillippe where are you?
	5:36pm Pax: @Julie: actually it wasn't really that bad. unlike the one from last year which lasted about 9 and 1/2 hours.
	🦇 5:36pm Phillippe: annapolis
	5:37pm David (in London): I was actually at a funeral the day Diana died. It was rather weird as everyone was talking about it, and it threatened to overshadow the actual funeral.
	5:37pm Big Hot Sky: In my kiddie innocence, I wonder if ONJ’s crisp final consonants led me to expect similar diction from less white-bread singers. Ha. And voila, Olivia en Francais, sounding nuttin like Francoise Hardy.
	5:39pm adamdoesit: Hot vocals for hot weather. Julie, Juliana Hatfield's "Sings Olivia Newton John" record (which I rather like) sounds "hot" in the vocals to me, too. Maybe that's part of the tribute.
	5:40pm Dean: The cover of 1972's Olivia, due I suppose to the typography, looks like it would have appeared in the mid-'80s. New Wave, even.
	5:41pm Rich in Washington: My (then future) wife Coco and I were out on a date at a restaurant when Diana died. I noticed the waitress going from table to table, quietly telling each patron something and when she got to us, she told us. People are weird.
	5:41pm northguineahills: @adam: I love that album thanks Julie, I gotta leave, ciao!
	🦇 5:43pm Julie: bye NGH thanks for coming by!
	🦇 5:44pm Julie: that Juliana album is so fun
	🦇 5:44pm chris in the redwoods: i'm really appreciating these selections, Julie. oh wow, a Jolene cover. <swoon>
	🦇 5:46pm Phillippe: Jolene was the answer to a Jeopardy question a few nights ago
	🦇 5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To be utterly forthcoming - for me (you understand), this single photo made up for her peak popularity like 'Let's Get Physical' & that whole era of Hits I felt in actual opposition to : www.facebook.com...
	🦇 5:46pm Julie: A friend of mine yesterday (who is younger than I) said to me, I never knew she was a country singer!
	🦇 5:47pm chris in the redwoods: what is the song that, even when covered, always turns chris in the redwoods to mush? wow, that's awfully specific for Jeopardy, Phillippe.
	🦇 5:48pm Bas NL: I think Olivia Newton-John was stained way to much by Grease fame in The Netherlands. So sorry to say these songs are about all new to me.
	🦇 5:48pm Julie: LOL Chris
	🦇 5:48pm Julie: @Bas it is not much different here. She is Grease and Physical to so many. I am glad I knew her before and got to experience the transformation as it happened. As with Kate Bush!
	🦇 5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A pretty faithful cover of Cochran. Compared to iconic interpretations by BlueCheer & TheWho...
	5:50pm David (in London): Rev D, would have liked to have heard Blue Cheer as her backing band there.
	🦇 5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Makes me curious about her Producers & how she related to them ...seems she was happy to do all of these just this way but I have no idea...
	🦇 5:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thinking of covers ... I wonder if Mary Wing will choose an ONJ song for Three of a Kind tomorrow.
	🦇 5:51pm Julie: I was trying to think of who else in FMU land might do an Olivia tribute
	5:51pm Dean: I had no idea (more likely, forgot) that she covered an Alessi Brothers tune! "Sad Songs," same album as "Ring of Fire." I wish WFMU would devote more airtime to Alessi.
	🦇 5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ONJ & Dickie Peterson would be odd vocal bedfellows indeed ...tho the previous suggestion of her & ScottWalker is fascinating to imagine !
	🦇 5:52pm Phillippe: @chris the category had something to do with matching lyrics to the song. They weren't the most memorable lines in the song, so you had to earn your $800 or whatever
	🦇 5:52pm Bas NL: Did she ever do a Roy Orbison cover? Seems so much like the same energy.
	🦇 5:52pm chris in the redwoods: whoa
	🦇 5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: There was a tribute on Polyglot this morning. www.wfmu.org...
	5:53pm dreamyandseedy: Duane would've probably done a lil tribute
	🦇 5:53pm Julie: she sang with John Denver, Barry Gibb, Richard Marx, Cliff of course. I don't think so Bas, but I only really know his big ones.
	🦇 5:53pm chris in the redwoods: damn it i miss the Duane Train
	🦇 5:53pm Julie: ha! Richard's Window is one I cut because though unique it's not that great. Glad to see not much overlap.
	🦇 5:54pm Bas NL: Ken beat me to it.. Jesse Doris did a good stab.
	🦇 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Clay Pigeon included at least two songs on Wake 'n' Bake today.
	🦇 5:54pm Julie: ahh dreamy you're still here! I was hoping you were enjoying the ethereality of some of that early stuff.
	🦇 5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One thinks of Ronstadt's BlueBayou ...she wouldn't even need falsetto to do Roy - it's the bottom end I'd worry about.
	5:54pm Tome: Great tribute Julie , no one could have done it better !<>! Bless !<>!
	🦇 5:55pm Julie: hiya Tome! Thank you! I've been training for this my whole life.
	5:55pm Pax: They say deaths come in three's, but now the new number is five's.
	🦇 5:56pm Julie: I did hope I might have a few more years before I did it.
	5:56pm Tome: well the light is shining on you big Time and she's smiing so now I'm sure )
	🦇 5:56pm Aitch: Robert Stigwood who managed Bee Gees and did Grease Saturday NF etc was also aussie.
	5:56pm Dean: I wonder if anybody toyed with adding to Linda, Emmylou, and Dolly, turning Trio into Quartet?
	5:56pm adamdoesit: Was this on Therese's "Songs of the Quiet One" preem?
	🦇 5:57pm Phillippe: I was thinking that since so many of our favorite performers are passing away with alarming frequency that a good show for FMU would be a regularly-scheduled tribute show once a month. There'd be a lead DJ, but other DJs could each nominate a song from someone who passed for them to play. Sometimes it's hard to keep up. Probably Rock & Soul would be a good home.
	🦇 5:57pm Julie: @Tome I met her so very briefly I do wish I could have told her how much she meant to me
	🦇 5:58pm Julie: I do feel like Mary will probably do something. And Sheila might drop a song in.
	5:58pm Dean: Stork usually does a weekly tribute drawn from birthday boys and girls, preferring the ones who can actually still blow out their candles.
	5:58pm Tome: she can take any genre pretty much you throw at her and do it better or equal as good ,, saw that photo Julie , she's very aware of that right now )
	5:59pm adamdoesit: Loving the covers set, Julie.
	6:00pm dreamyandseedy: i’m here! im definitely hearing some interesting things! liked ring of fire. i too am younger than you and didn’t know she was a country singer
	🦇 6:00pm Julie: thanks adam!
	🦇 6:01pm Phillippe: Time to pack up the ol' laptop for the day. Thanks Julie, I'll be listening via the bluetooth. Bye everyone!
	🦇 6:01pm Julie: she did everything but a big band album (a la Linda and Rod) but she did toss a couple of classics in here and there
	6:01pm David (in London): Ta ra Phillippe.
	6:02pm Dean: ...and Bryan (Ferry).
	🦇 6:02pm Julie: see ya Phillippe thanks for hanging out!
	🦇 6:02pm Bas NL: Bye Phillippe!
	🦇 6:02pm chris in the redwoods: bye, Phillippe!
	🦇 6:02pm Aitch: Just try Lovin' You at Karaoke for instant laughs.
	6:02pm Pax: Adios Phillippe
	6:03pm Androu B.: Later, Phillippe!
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: I love the original so much but like so many of her songs, I really enjoy this version too
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: get ready for a jarring transition
	6:04pm Dean: The one time ONJ covered Meat Puppets?
	🦇 6:04pm chris in the redwoods: she really makes all the covers her own. good on her.
	🦇 6:05pm Aitch: Not going for that note a very good idea, that was nice
	6:06pm David (in London): Confess I wasn't expecting this.
	6:06pm adamdoesit: Even when warned, I did not see this one (or her approach to it) coming.
	🦇 6:06pm Julie: As much as I wanted to hear her do it, it's nice she let it be Minnie's
	🦇 6:06pm Aitch: Always cute but never really sexy
	🦇 6:07pm Bas NL: Minnie Riperton (of Lovin' You fame) was taken early by breast cancer..
	🦇 6:07pm Julie: yes, not the good fortune that Olivia had with it
	6:08pm Pax: I didn't think that ONJ would even begin to try to reach those high ear splitting notes like Minnie did
	6:08pm Androu B.: So, did Toni Basil hear this version? And if so, what did she think of it?
	🦇 6:08pm Aitch: Kylie too, who's sorta the new ONJ
	🦇 6:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Devon on Morricone Island the FMU Soundtrack program can't even keep up with the Obits ~ Tributes.
	6:10pm Androu B.: @RevRab On that note, I'll be making mention of Clu Gulager's recent passing.
	6:11pm Dean: Gary Wright
	🦇 6:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This video Julie linked to - ONJ in 1965 - a teenager ! - Pop - but can see some HardBop Jazz from there already (in good Mod style) : www.youtube.com...
	6:12pm Dean: Saw him open for Gentle Giant, Peter Frampton, and Yes at a baseball stadium. Great show. Intensely loud show. First and last show I ever attended at a stadium.
	6:15pm David (in London): Right that's me done, early start beckons. Thanks Guv'nor, and a raise of the glass to ONJ. Night groovers.
	🦇 6:15pm Julie: goodnight David thanks for hanging out!
	6:16pm dreamyandseedy: curious if you had discovered Kate Bush first, if you still would’ve liked ONJ as much. i always like thinking about which musical discoveries flip switches in your brain and change how you hear all later discoveries
	🦇 6:16pm Bas NL: Good night David!
	🦇 6:16pm Julie: @dreamy I wonder that as well! I feel like I found them each at the perfect time. Olivia in childhood, Kate in teens
	6:17pm Androu B.: Ta-ta, David! Your presence much appreciated, as always!
	🦇 6:17pm Julie: I used to play this on guitar, I really should pick it up again
	🦇 6:17pm chris in the redwoods: night, David!
	6:17pm dreamyandseedy: on that note i will confess that i have only ever heard Alan Jackson do Summertime Blues
	🦇 6:18pm Julie: who else will play this, who?
	🦇 6:19pm chris in the redwoods: love it. and good question, Julie.
	6:19pm Dean: Mormon Tabernacle Choir?
	🦇 6:19pm Julie: and she wrote that one!
	6:19pm Androu B.: Well, let's see if Devon will take up that challenge!
	🦇 6:20pm Julie: I think he will play some Toomorrow
	6:22pm Dean: This is the album that appeared after I'd started working a record store. We were, of course, "cool," but we played it with some frequency.
	🦇 6:22pm Julie: this is a great album, I like it more than Physical
	🦇 6:23pm Handy Haversack: Hello. Julie and Dark Ones. Greetings from Western Pennsylvania and the American Road. And RIP, ONJ.
	🦇 6:23pm Julie: hiya Handy!
	🦇 6:25pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Handy!
	🦇 6:26pm Bas NL: Howdy Handy!
	🦇 6:29pm Julie: she has about 4 xmas albums and I don't listen to any of them :p
	6:30pm Androu B.: ¡Hola, Handy! Where exactly in Western PA? Near Punxatawney? Pittsburgh? Schancksville? Erie?
	🦇 6:32pm Handy Haversack: Hey, pals! Androu, somos en Clarion. It's been our go-to stop for a set of years now. Nice field at this motel for the dog to run around in when we get off the road. I think we're going to go to a brewpub "downtown" in a little bit here.
	6:33pm Dean: I wish folks would relax with the anti-Christmas music preferences. There are so many gorgeous holiday records out there.
	🦇 6:34pm Julie: it just seems silly to have an album for only a certain time of year. I can't even get into the moody blues one.
	🦇 6:34pm chris in the redwoods: i blame capitalism, Dean. :) but noted.
	🦇 6:34pm Julie: I don't like Duet albums either. Although of course I have hers
	6:34pm Scott67: G'day Julie & Nighties!☕😎🤙🌻🦜🦜🦜
	🦇 6:35pm Julie: hiya Scott!
	🦇 6:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Handy. Good to know Bagpipe or K8 don't get carsick!
	🦇 6:35pm Julie: Handy how does K8 feel about ONJ?
	🦇 6:36pm Bas NL: Hi Scott!
	🦇 6:36pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Scott!
	6:37pm Androu B.: Funny, I've been hearing this one a lot over almost every store's Muzak system.
	6:37pm Dean: Good Christmas music albums are playable year-round, trust me. I agree that the arbitrary acknowledgement of "a certain time of year" is, well, arbitrary. But then I don't like acknowledgment of birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, driver's license expirations...you get the picture. I do love that people wrote music of celebration that for hundreds of years we have repeatedly performed.
	🦇 6:38pm Julie: next week's bonus hour CHRISTMAS
	6:38pm adamdoesit: Always loved "Twist of Fate." Heaven couldn't wait anymore. Godspeed, ONJ. (Not that I really believe in that kind of thing, but she sounds the part.)
	6:38pm Dean: That is such a fantastic idea.
	🦇 6:39pm Julie: she did a christmas album with john travolta
	6:40pm Dean: I would appreciate hearing her delivery of a Christmas tune, well-known or not.
	🦇 6:41pm Bas NL: This Grace and Gratitude she released herself?
	6:41pm Scott67: G'day Bas! ☕😎🤙💨🍺
	🦇 6:42pm Julie: depends where, EMI someplaces. It's also billed only as Olivia.
	6:42pm Dean: Michael Praetorius, "In Dulce Jubilo," perfect for her, melodically splendid.
	6:42pm Androu B.: Would Livvy have ever guessed she'd be friends with a Scientologist? I guess it wouldn't have mattered to her, whether or not she was aware of it, as I'm sure she wasn't the kind of person to judge friends and acquaintances by any measure
	🦇 6:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: G'day, Scott. Salute to an Aussie today. Are a lot of people talking about ONJ there?
	🦇 6:43pm Julie: they were definitely tight. it was sweet.
	6:43pm Scott67: G'day Chris!☕😎🤙💨🍺
	🦇 6:44pm Julie: he posted a little tribute to her (on instagram I think?) as did Elton
	6:46pm Scott67: G'day Ken, yeah mate. We are all pretty sad about her loss mate. But what a legacy she has left🥀
	🦇 6:46pm Midge: OH YES.
	6:46pm Asheville Jon: X A N A D U !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	6:47pm Androu B.: G'Day, Scottso! 👊😎🍻 Sorry we have to meet again under such a somber occasion. I'm sure she meant a lot to some folks you know over there.
	🦇 6:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Lot of Xanadu talk on Olivia's ravioli chat board yesterday.
	🦇 6:48pm Handy Haversack: Ken, we actually think Bagpipe does get a little carsick, but we give him a couple of Benadryl, which seems to deal with the worst of it. But he never sleeps in the car, just stares out the window and often pants.
	6:49pm adamdoesit: Thanks for this, Julie. We should all bring so much happiness, and receive such a joyous farewell.
	🦇 6:50pm Aitch: Don-O and Kitten's 24 hr Xanadu special link here for those brave enough. www.wfmu.org...
	6:50pm Scott67: G'day Androu, yep Livvy was well loved here mate.🌻
	6:52pm Asheville Jon: my daughter got a physical today
	6:52pm Dean: Was selling records in '80, too, when Xanadu and, so it seems, many over-produced spectacles were marketed, and much to my chagrin. I really appreciate the perspective of decades through which to hear them again. I mean Alan Parsons, War of the Worlds, Meat Loaf... Then they were fun but negligible. Now I like that I can listen through the overblown production to hear what at least some of those artists were trying to produce.
	🦇 6:52pm Handy Haversack: Glad to catch part of the tribute, Julie! Got off the road just in time. Many thanks! See you Dark Ones again soon. And from home territories!
	🦇 6:53pm chris in the redwoods: safe travels, Handy, K8 and Bagpipe!
	6:53pm Scott67: Drive safe Handy!😎🤙
	🦇 6:54pm chris in the redwoods: enjoyed very much, Julie! thank you! take care, everyone. see you around.
	6:55pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Julie! Wonderful show and lovely ONJ tribute!
	6:55pm Scott67: Thanks Julie, be well mate.😎🤙🌻🦜
	🦇 6:55pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Julie!
	🦇 6:55pm Bas NL: Thank you Julie! Great show and what a great tribute! Bye all!
	6:55pm Big Hot Sky: Merci!
	6:56pm dreamyandseedy: thank you Julie!
	🦇 6:56pm Julie: thanks so much everyone..think I might cry now
	6:56pm Asheville Jon: thanks Julie!
	6:56pm Dean: I just realized that my wife brought to our domestic combination a copy of Grease. I'll play it tonight. (My quibble is with Travolta.)
	6:57pm Androu B.: And it' s amazing the many genres she covered throughout her musical career. You know, I was just reminded of a weird moment of synchronicity in 1981: The day I first heard "Heart Attack" on the radio was the day that my mother got the news about the death of one of our distant relatives. Take one guess what the cause of death was. Thanks, Julie!
	6:57pm Asheville Jon: wait, you aren't crying already? I thought we all were..
	🦇 6:58pm Julie: the best song from Grease is not actually FROM the musical
	🦇 6:58pm Midge: Thanks Julie!
	🦇 6:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	🦇 6:58pm Bas NL: And all bats are off now.
	6:59pm Dean: Much as the song many people love from Bach wasn't his.
	🦇 6:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Julie. Don't put off them cancer screenings, folks!

	🦇 3:27pm Julie: hiya NGH! @Androu I think I heard he was a songwriter as well?
	🦇 3:27pm B R M: I say it every time you play them, but I would love to see The Sundays come back again and see them live again) and reissue all their albums on vinyl and and and...
	🦇 3:28pm Julie: ugh I know...such lovely stuff. Harriet where are you
	3:28pm Sylvia: yes, Lamont Dozier wrote a lot of hits twitter.com...
	🦇 3:29pm Julie: wow...
	3:29pm dreamyandseedy: i enjoyed Dovedale also, and had never heard of them
	🦇 3:30pm Julie: they are local, and they have a bandcamp :)
	3:30pm dreamyandseedy: i think i missed the Indila song, i remember I liked a song you played by her a long time ago! will have to go back and listen later
	3:30pm Androu B.: That's correct, ⅓ of the songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland.
	3:32pm adamdoesit: Hi Julie and batfolk. RIP ONJ. If there's one thing Billie Jean needed, it was more cello. Problem solved.
	🦇 3:32pm Julie: hiya adamdoesit!
	🦇 3:38pm Yvang: it's french for "Autumn's Leaf"
	🦇 3:42pm Julie: thank you!
	3:43pm dreamyandseedy: Julie: did you take the picture on your main playlist page? i can never quite tell what is in the shadows beyond the fence... but i do like peering into the darkness
	🦇 3:44pm Julie: I did! It's Grace church in the village. I just love the fence.
	🦇 3:45pm Julie: if anyone got today's drummer email I took that photo of Olivia also
	🦇 3:46pm Julie: if you didn't see it, it'll be on the playlist later
	🦇 3:51pm Bas NL: I'd love the story to the photo of Olivia, Julie! I am sure you will tell us later?
	🦇 3:52pm Julie: of course.
	3:53pm dreamyandseedy: reminds me, i need to sign up for the drummer email!
	4:00pm northguineahills: diigging Wednesday and it's only Tuesday...
	🦇 4:01pm Julie: did I say hi NGH? If I didn't hi!
	🦇 4:02pm listener james from westwood: Aw, love this Plimsouls.
	🦇 4:04pm Julie: sometimes you have to go for the hit
	🦇 4:04pm chris in the redwoods: still not tired of this one. dig.
	🦇 4:04pm B R M: Plimsoul Punk by Alvvays next 🤣
	4:05pm dreamyandseedy: i like that Twin Plagues sleeve
	4:06pm Doug Schulkind: The always excellent Wesley Morris has a wonderful appraisal of ONJ in today's NYT: www.nytimes.com... Hello!
	🦇 4:09pm Bas NL: Hi Doug!
	🦇 4:10pm Julie: hi Doug! I'm being puzzled by the obits, because her husband mentions two siblings I've never heard of. Her siblings are both deceased and had different names. I'm thinking they must be from her father's 3rd marriage (whereas the ones from the first would have been older than olivia and are likely also gone)
	4:12pm northguineahills: it's twice as nice to be hied again by julie!
	🦇 4:14pm Bas NL: Yes! Played that single grey; Electric Avenue.
	🦇 4:14pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Doug. thanks for sharing! i'm old enough to remember Grant's 'electric avenue'. :) oh nooooo!
	4:16pm Androu B.: Have I mentioned before that I own "Valley Girl" on DVD? Could've sworn I did (unless it was on another chatboard).
	🦇 4:17pm Julie: Deborah Foreman FTW! I prefer My Chauffeur though. But VG is pretty fun!
	🦇 4:17pm chris in the redwoods: watch party at Androu's place! :)
	🦇 4:17pm Julie: Her parents in that are SO funny. Also I think EG Daily is one of the girls too
	4:22pm Androu B.: Correct on EG Dailey, Julie, before she went on to voice acting and became best known as the voice of Tommy Pickles on "Rugrats".
	🦇 4:24pm Julie: she'll always be a Righteous Apple to me. she was still Elizabeth back then.
	🦇 4:26pm chris in the redwoods: Julie, i recently chatted up a bartender in Salt Lake City who's a guitarist and likes to play shoe gazey riffs. I recommended your show. This Love Spirals Downwards track is a good example of why. :)
	4:28pm Jason from Houston: Love Spirals Downwards always gets me good. Phew.
	4:30pm Jason from Houston: HELL YAH
	🦇 4:31pm Bas NL: Trying to find a clever thing to word people gazing their drinks in bars to the tune of shoe gaze...
	🦇 4:31pm Julie: brewgazers
	4:32pm ike-o: peace
	4:32pm Jason from Houston: Martinigaze
	🦇 4:32pm Bas NL: :) :) :) What a great live version this!
	🦇 4:32pm Julie: hiya ike-o!
	4:32pm Jason from Houston: But I don't think shoegaze people drink martinis.
	4:33pm David (in London): Evening Julie, the Guv'nor. Ahoy all darkened groovers here gathered.
	🦇 4:33pm chris in the redwoods: ahoy, David.
	🦇 4:33pm Julie: hi there David!
	4:33pm Jason from Houston: Good evening, David.
	4:34pm Androu B.: If I didn't know better, I'd swear Tori is ripping off of herself in this. It sounds almost like "Who's Gonna Save Your Soul".
	🦇 4:34pm Bas NL: Hello David!
	4:34pm Sylvia: If I had to weigh in, shoegaze people drink wine and champagne :D
	🦇 4:34pm Julie: Save Your Soul is jewel
	4:35pm Jason from Houston: Right on, Sylvia.
	4:35pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: We may not make it to the end live tonight, dear Julie but will definitely listen back come morning here. Sending much love, as always!
	4:35pm Androu B.: OK, then it's Tori ripping off of Jewel.
	🦇 4:35pm Julie: thanks SMS!
	4:36pm David (in London): Hey S&M&S, and see ya too. Chris, Jason, Bas, Androu.
	4:37pm northguineahills: @Sylvia: Strawberry Wine?
	4:37pm Androu B.: Greets, David!
	4:38pm Sylvia: Pinot and Chardonnay
	4:38pm Sylvia: the name of this band is quite something
	4:40pm Jason from Houston: Sweet red/white vermouth?
	🦇 4:40pm Julie: I think the goal of all things is penetration, whether physical, mental or emotional
	4:40pm northguineahills: @Sylvia (i was just sneaking in my obligatory mbv reference)
	4:41pm David (in London): Taken from Iggy & The Stooges I believe, Sylvia.
	🦇 4:41pm Julie: @NGH I knew dat
	4:42pm Sylvia: that’s some food for thought, Julie
	🦇 4:43pm Bas NL: Mmm.. There was this practice of drinking from high-heeled shoes.. something from the roaring 30ies? ...
	🦇 4:43pm Julie: I mean it is certainly the case with heart...penetrate your ears and your heart?
	4:44pm David (in London): Tallulah Bankhead famously drank champagne out of her shoe at The Ritz hotel. There's a cocktail in the Rivoli Bar there now that comes in a glass shoe. It's quite fun,
	4:46pm Jason from Houston: Since the theme of my work afternoon has been Task Manager > End Task, I am going to peel off to listen in the car and see some art. Stay safe and sweet, Julie and good buddies.
	🦇 4:46pm Phillippe: lovely
	🦇 4:46pm Julie: David do you have any Olivia stories? Spent a good deal of her early career in London
	🦇 4:46pm chris in the redwoods: see ya soon, Jason.
	🦇 4:46pm Julie: thanks Jason! drive safe!
	4:47pm David (in London): Ta ra Jason. Howdy Phillippe!
	🦇 4:47pm Bas NL: Hah! Now that's shoe gazing your drink! :) (We were on that topic before you arrived, David)
	🦇 4:47pm Phillippe: DiL, what's up?
	4:49pm David (in London): Bas, Tallulah in action! www.pinterest.co.uk... Julie, sadly my ONJ knowledge is just the layman's. No special insight I'm afraid.
	🦇 4:49pm Phillippe: "Feels like" temp for here is 104 ATM...
	🦇 4:50pm chris in the redwoods: Zargon sounds like something one might find while hitchhiking the galaxy.
	🦇 4:51pm Julie: Intergalactic dish detergent.
	🦇 4:51pm chris in the redwoods: Phillippe, yikes. i hope you're inside and staying cool.
	🦇 4:52pm Bas NL: Nobody likes a dirty flying saucer.
	4:52pm David (in London): Washes cleaner, time after time. ZARGON!
	🦇 4:57pm Bas NL: Thanks for Tallulah David! :)
	🦇 4:57pm Phillippe: @chris that I am
	🦇 4:58pm Aitch: Good morning Julie and the dark
	4:58pm Androu B.: I believe this might be the best time to look back at the "Xanadu: The (Unofficial) 40th Anniversary" radio extravaganza in archives: https://wfmu.org/playlists/XA
	4:59pm northguineahills: Zargon (aka Sargon) was the leader of the Akaddian empire who conquered the south Sumerian city states in 24th c BCE. Considered the first empire builder....
	🦇 5:01pm Julie: um Androu no it's not, I'm doing a show here right now
	5:01pm dreamyandseedy: i am excited to hear your ONJ tribute. i don't know much about her except Grease songs and Physical
	🦇 5:01pm chris in the redwoods: whoa, thanks for that nugget, ngh.
	5:02pm Androu B.: Well, of course, I meant after the show, Julie. Wouldn't want to detract from your show in any way.
	🦇 5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Awlright. Let's appreciate this Mod '60s ♎︎Libran crush magnet, shall we?
	🦇 5:04pm Julie: I THINK this is a Jackie DeShannon song
	🦇 5:04pm Bas NL: Wow! From 1966!
	🦇 5:05pm Julie: as I said...she was an overnight sensation, who'd been in the business for years
	5:05pm Dean: She was channeling Ronnie Spector in '66, I guess.
	🦇 5:05pm Julie: hiya Rev!
	5:05pm David (in London): Those matching yellow bri-nylon outfits are the bomb. We should never have left 1970.
	🦇 5:05pm Julie: okay who here has actually SEEN the movie Toomorrow.
	🦇 5:06pm Julie: @dean wasn't everyone? also Hiya! Very sweet of you to email yesterday.
	🦇 5:07pm Julie: this, I think, is Olivia at her most Dark Night of the Soul musically
	🦇 5:08pm chris in the redwoods: David, it appears they ran out of that fabric while making Olivia's skirt.
	🦇 5:09pm Julie: I have no idea what happened to the other guys in Toomorrow.
	🦇 5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ONJ had that definitive girlish Soprano voice. Technically actually really precise & even strong with good lungs - tho' the high register makes people think otherwise. An archetypal kind of Pop voice. Sometimes her versions of a song seemed performative & lacked affectation by comparison - but otherwise I'm often surprised by how expressive - & certainly sensual she was. Which surprises no one. :)
	🦇 5:11pm Julie: although she has some power I think she can be very quiet, I get the impression they boosted her volume quite a bit. My Olivia albums have always seemed "HOT" to me
	5:11pm Asheville Jon: hope to hear Xanadu!
	🦇 5:11pm Julie: hiya Asheville!
	🦇 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Makes sense. There wasn't a lot of her !...
	5:11pm Asheville Jon: howdy Julie!
	🦇 5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but she holds some notes long enuff...
	🦇 5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Pat Benatar was a 90 lbs. air raid siren - a relative anomaly I suppose ...but that's Rawk. :)
	🦇 5:13pm Julie: the popular review at the time was "if white bread could sing"
	🦇 5:14pm Julie: she's not lacking in strength she just wasn't a belter.
	🦇 5:14pm chris in the redwoods: ouch
	🦇 5:14pm Julie: yeah she laughed all the way to grammys and gold records
	5:15pm dreamyandseedy: i heard the word Penetrate!!
	🦇 5:15pm Phillippe: @Julie have to say on that cover, I might agree (sorry)
	🦇 5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Her image involved a lot of Wholesomeness. The character of Sandy in Grease demonstrating that both sides of the tracks thing was apparently totally on point & perfect casting.
	🦇 5:15pm Julie: hahah yes!
	🦇 5:15pm Julie: @phillippe like so many songs, hers was the first version I heard.
	🦇 5:16pm Julie: not unlike THIS one
	🦇 5:17pm Phillippe: I really enjoyed this cover
	🦇 5:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember that one DNotS show that closed with a cover of "What Is Life." www.wfmu.org...
	🦇 5:18pm Julie: she did a couple other George songs too, but I forget which since they are lesser known to me
	🦇 5:19pm chris in the redwoods: this is an amazing cover.
	🦇 5:19pm Julie: so good. I used to sing this at karaoke because of her version
	5:20pm David (in London): Have you never been mellow? Has she just taken a bong hit in that photo then?
	🦇 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When Susan Jacks passed just this April - we all thot a lot about what a versatile & classic Pop Voice she had - & how omparable to ONJ but more range. Whatever. ONJ is iconic for what she did.
	🦇 5:21pm Julie: She didn't become a stoner till her 60s I think!
	5:21pm David (in London): Strong double denim there, Olivia. Guess it was '74.
	🦇 5:21pm Julie: that there was the first record I ever bought myself, it was already old but it was very exciting
	5:22pm David (in London): Feels as though she should have duetted with Scott (Walker) in this period.
	5:22pm Dean: I went to a high school with a strong drama department, some of the graduates from which moved on to a local junior college (what we called them then) with an even stronger program. Friends of mine from the high school, including a young lady who played Sandy, performed in the junior college's production of Grease. This would have been around '80, '81... Wish I could see that show again.
	🦇 5:22pm chris in the redwoods: her expression on the cover of If you Love Me... says, "take the fucking picture, Jack. I've got shit to do."
	🦇 5:22pm Julie: @david wow how lovely that would've been!
	🦇 5:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& there's Acting & Stage Presence &tc. to consider...
	🦇 5:22pm Julie: Resting Olivia Face
	🦇 5:22pm Bas NL: Wikipedia synopsis on Toomorrow: 'A group of students pay their way through school by forming a pop band called Toomorrow; sonic vibrations from a special instrument called a "tonaliser" cause an extraterrestrial to abduct the group, and have them entertain the Alphoid population.' Need to see that!
	🦇 5:23pm Julie: Bas it's on youtube!
	🦇 5:23pm Julie: it is, as they say, a trip.
	🦇 5:23pm Bas NL: :)
	🦇 5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: She's like the ♎︎Libra poster child. Arms crossed like that to weigh things...
	🦇 5:25pm Phillippe: Was the tonaliser the same as autotune? If so, bring on the aliens...
	🦇 5:25pm Julie: it's these little bits, the non lyric vocal bits that I just adore
	🦇 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was hoping was the actual Steve Howe London '67 band Tomorrow ...but sounds nutty bad~good anyhow !...
	5:27pm David (in London): Phillippe, the Tonaliser puts everything into Just Intonation, so Olivia ends up sounding like Harry Partch to the aliens, Hilarity ensues.
	🦇 5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not everybody can fly kites in the Soprano range like that.
	🦇 5:28pm Julie: and it was never done in a show offy Mariah kinda way
	5:28pm northguineahills: most ONJ tracks come pre-clickied for my own convenience.
	5:28pm Asheville Jon: wow, just skimmed through Toomorrow on youtube. looks amazing. even cheesier than Xanadu!
	5:29pm Big Hot Sky: I listened to all these songs as a wee one, so the musicality of the phonemes, the vocal tone, and the arrangements were what registered. I had zero adult context, so no particular meaning accrued from the lyrics…what a trip it is to revisit these sounds!
	🦇 5:29pm Julie: heya Big Hot Sky! Same!
	🦇 5:30pm Julie: this guitar is so pretty too
	🦇 5:31pm Julie: and when she harmonizes with herself.....EEEEEEEEE
	🦇 5:31pm Phillippe: David, I just gave a quick listen to a sample of Partch's "Barstow", I can see how that might pique an alien's attention
	🦇 5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The arranging / production is smooth 70s - but doesn't give you diabetes so to speak...
	5:31pm Dean: Fans of sopranos, don't miss the sublime Conchita Supervia. She was in fact a mezzo, but her voice was as radiant as a stellar soprano. Her gig was opera and recitals of Spanish songs. I have no doubt that were she alive today she'd be a "cross-over" celebrity.
	5:32pm northguineahills: i actually have a recording of Partch's Barstow, quite amazing....
	5:33pm Pax: Just got done with having a 2-hour blackout here. And somehow it was preventing me from connecting to fmu on my phone. Right now it's 97° feels 106°.
	🦇 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good observation re the doubletracked self-harmonizing. That is a thing.
	5:33pm David (in London): This just seems to confirm that my ONJ / Harry Partch cross-over project has legs.
	🦇 5:33pm Julie: oh Pax how awful! Glad you made it! I hope you can cool off some!
	🦇 5:34pm Julie: sending this one out to the french garden
	🦇 5:34pm Aitch: Very primary school feelings here with the ONJ. She was on the radio a LOT down here at the time. Considered a national treasure, will get a state funeral. Judy Durham similar, but a 60's thing
	🦇 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Can't decide if my body is adjusting to every day being above 85℉ or if I'm suffering damage I'm not taking full account of.
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: hiya Aitch! I imagine there it must be akin to when Princess Diana died in England.
	🦇 5:36pm Phillippe: @Pax supposed to feel like 93 at MIDNIGHT here, with 87% humidity, ugh
	🦇 5:36pm Julie: Phillippe where are you?
	5:36pm Pax: @Julie: actually it wasn't really that bad. unlike the one from last year which lasted about 9 and 1/2 hours.
	🦇 5:36pm Phillippe: annapolis
	5:37pm David (in London): I was actually at a funeral the day Diana died. It was rather weird as everyone was talking about it, and it threatened to overshadow the actual funeral.
	5:37pm Big Hot Sky: In my kiddie innocence, I wonder if ONJ’s crisp final consonants led me to expect similar diction from less white-bread singers. Ha. And voila, Olivia en Francais, sounding nuttin like Francoise Hardy.
	5:39pm adamdoesit: Hot vocals for hot weather. Julie, Juliana Hatfield's "Sings Olivia Newton John" record (which I rather like) sounds "hot" in the vocals to me, too. Maybe that's part of the tribute.
	5:40pm Dean: The cover of 1972's Olivia, due I suppose to the typography, looks like it would have appeared in the mid-'80s. New Wave, even.
	5:41pm Rich in Washington: My (then future) wife Coco and I were out on a date at a restaurant when Diana died. I noticed the waitress going from table to table, quietly telling each patron something and when she got to us, she told us. People are weird.
	5:41pm northguineahills: @adam: I love that album thanks Julie, I gotta leave, ciao!
	🦇 5:43pm Julie: bye NGH thanks for coming by!
	🦇 5:44pm Julie: that Juliana album is so fun
	🦇 5:44pm chris in the redwoods: i'm really appreciating these selections, Julie. oh wow, a Jolene cover. <swoon>
	🦇 5:46pm Phillippe: Jolene was the answer to a Jeopardy question a few nights ago
	🦇 5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To be utterly forthcoming - for me (you understand), this single photo made up for her peak popularity like 'Let's Get Physical' & that whole era of Hits I felt in actual opposition to : www.facebook.com...
	🦇 5:46pm Julie: A friend of mine yesterday (who is younger than I) said to me, I never knew she was a country singer!
	🦇 5:47pm chris in the redwoods: what is the song that, even when covered, always turns chris in the redwoods to mush? wow, that's awfully specific for Jeopardy, Phillippe.
	🦇 5:48pm Bas NL: I think Olivia Newton-John was stained way to much by Grease fame in The Netherlands. So sorry to say these songs are about all new to me.
	🦇 5:48pm Julie: LOL Chris
	🦇 5:48pm Julie: @Bas it is not much different here. She is Grease and Physical to so many. I am glad I knew her before and got to experience the transformation as it happened. As with Kate Bush!
	🦇 5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A pretty faithful cover of Cochran. Compared to iconic interpretations by BlueCheer & TheWho...
	5:50pm David (in London): Rev D, would have liked to have heard Blue Cheer as her backing band there.
	🦇 5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Makes me curious about her Producers & how she related to them ...seems she was happy to do all of these just this way but I have no idea...
	🦇 5:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thinking of covers ... I wonder if Mary Wing will choose an ONJ song for Three of a Kind tomorrow.
	🦇 5:51pm Julie: I was trying to think of who else in FMU land might do an Olivia tribute
	5:51pm Dean: I had no idea (more likely, forgot) that she covered an Alessi Brothers tune! "Sad Songs," same album as "Ring of Fire." I wish WFMU would devote more airtime to Alessi.
	🦇 5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ONJ & Dickie Peterson would be odd vocal bedfellows indeed ...tho the previous suggestion of her & ScottWalker is fascinating to imagine !
	🦇 5:52pm Phillippe: @chris the category had something to do with matching lyrics to the song. They weren't the most memorable lines in the song, so you had to earn your $800 or whatever
	🦇 5:52pm Bas NL: Did she ever do a Roy Orbison cover? Seems so much like the same energy.
	🦇 5:52pm chris in the redwoods: whoa
	🦇 5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: There was a tribute on Polyglot this morning. www.wfmu.org...
	5:53pm dreamyandseedy: Duane would've probably done a lil tribute
	🦇 5:53pm Julie: she sang with John Denver, Barry Gibb, Richard Marx, Cliff of course. I don't think so Bas, but I only really know his big ones.
	🦇 5:53pm chris in the redwoods: damn it i miss the Duane Train
	🦇 5:53pm Julie: ha! Richard's Window is one I cut because though unique it's not that great. Glad to see not much overlap.
	🦇 5:54pm Bas NL: Ken beat me to it.. Jesse Doris did a good stab.
	🦇 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Clay Pigeon included at least two songs on Wake 'n' Bake today.
	🦇 5:54pm Julie: ahh dreamy you're still here! I was hoping you were enjoying the ethereality of some of that early stuff.
	🦇 5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One thinks of Ronstadt's BlueBayou ...she wouldn't even need falsetto to do Roy - it's the bottom end I'd worry about.
	5:54pm Tome: Great tribute Julie , no one could have done it better !<>! Bless !<>!
	🦇 5:55pm Julie: hiya Tome! Thank you! I've been training for this my whole life.
	5:55pm Pax: They say deaths come in three's, but now the new number is five's.
	🦇 5:56pm Julie: I did hope I might have a few more years before I did it.
	5:56pm Tome: well the light is shining on you big Time and she's smiing so now I'm sure )
	🦇 5:56pm Aitch: Robert Stigwood who managed Bee Gees and did Grease Saturday NF etc was also aussie.
	5:56pm Dean: I wonder if anybody toyed with adding to Linda, Emmylou, and Dolly, turning Trio into Quartet?
	5:56pm adamdoesit: Was this on Therese's "Songs of the Quiet One" preem?
	🦇 5:57pm Phillippe: I was thinking that since so many of our favorite performers are passing away with alarming frequency that a good show for FMU would be a regularly-scheduled tribute show once a month. There'd be a lead DJ, but other DJs could each nominate a song from someone who passed for them to play. Sometimes it's hard to keep up. Probably Rock & Soul would be a good home.
	🦇 5:57pm Julie: @Tome I met her so very briefly I do wish I could have told her how much she meant to me
	🦇 5:58pm Julie: I do feel like Mary will probably do something. And Sheila might drop a song in.
	5:58pm Dean: Stork usually does a weekly tribute drawn from birthday boys and girls, preferring the ones who can actually still blow out their candles.
	5:58pm Tome: she can take any genre pretty much you throw at her and do it better or equal as good ,, saw that photo Julie , she's very aware of that right now )
	5:59pm adamdoesit: Loving the covers set, Julie.
	6:00pm dreamyandseedy: i’m here! im definitely hearing some interesting things! liked ring of fire. i too am younger than you and didn’t know she was a country singer
	🦇 6:00pm Julie: thanks adam!
	🦇 6:01pm Phillippe: Time to pack up the ol' laptop for the day. Thanks Julie, I'll be listening via the bluetooth. Bye everyone!
	🦇 6:01pm Julie: she did everything but a big band album (a la Linda and Rod) but she did toss a couple of classics in here and there
	6:01pm David (in London): Ta ra Phillippe.
	6:02pm Dean: ...and Bryan (Ferry).
	🦇 6:02pm Julie: see ya Phillippe thanks for hanging out!
	🦇 6:02pm Bas NL: Bye Phillippe!
	🦇 6:02pm chris in the redwoods: bye, Phillippe!
	🦇 6:02pm Aitch: Just try Lovin' You at Karaoke for instant laughs.
	6:02pm Pax: Adios Phillippe
	6:03pm Androu B.: Later, Phillippe!
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: I love the original so much but like so many of her songs, I really enjoy this version too
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: get ready for a jarring transition
	6:04pm Dean: The one time ONJ covered Meat Puppets?
	🦇 6:04pm chris in the redwoods: she really makes all the covers her own. good on her.
	🦇 6:05pm Aitch: Not going for that note a very good idea, that was nice
	6:06pm David (in London): Confess I wasn't expecting this.
	6:06pm adamdoesit: Even when warned, I did not see this one (or her approach to it) coming.
	🦇 6:06pm Julie: As much as I wanted to hear her do it, it's nice she let it be Minnie's
	🦇 6:06pm Aitch: Always cute but never really sexy
	🦇 6:07pm Bas NL: Minnie Riperton (of Lovin' You fame) was taken early by breast cancer..
	🦇 6:07pm Julie: yes, not the good fortune that Olivia had with it
	6:08pm Pax: I didn't think that ONJ would even begin to try to reach those high ear splitting notes like Minnie did
	6:08pm Androu B.: So, did Toni Basil hear this version? And if so, what did she think of it?
	🦇 6:08pm Aitch: Kylie too, who's sorta the new ONJ
	🦇 6:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Devon on Morricone Island the FMU Soundtrack program can't even keep up with the Obits ~ Tributes.
	6:10pm Androu B.: @RevRab On that note, I'll be making mention of Clu Gulager's recent passing.
	6:11pm Dean: Gary Wright
	🦇 6:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This video Julie linked to - ONJ in 1965 - a teenager ! - Pop - but can see some HardBop Jazz from there already (in good Mod style) : www.youtube.com...
	6:12pm Dean: Saw him open for Gentle Giant, Peter Frampton, and Yes at a baseball stadium. Great show. Intensely loud show. First and last show I ever attended at a stadium.
	6:15pm David (in London): Right that's me done, early start beckons. Thanks Guv'nor, and a raise of the glass to ONJ. Night groovers.
	🦇 6:15pm Julie: goodnight David thanks for hanging out!
	6:16pm dreamyandseedy: curious if you had discovered Kate Bush first, if you still would’ve liked ONJ as much. i always like thinking about which musical discoveries flip switches in your brain and change how you hear all later discoveries
	🦇 6:16pm Bas NL: Good night David!
	🦇 6:16pm Julie: @dreamy I wonder that as well! I feel like I found them each at the perfect time. Olivia in childhood, Kate in teens
	6:17pm Androu B.: Ta-ta, David! Your presence much appreciated, as always!
	🦇 6:17pm Julie: I used to play this on guitar, I really should pick it up again
	🦇 6:17pm chris in the redwoods: night, David!
	6:17pm dreamyandseedy: on that note i will confess that i have only ever heard Alan Jackson do Summertime Blues
	🦇 6:18pm Julie: who else will play this, who?
	🦇 6:19pm chris in the redwoods: love it. and good question, Julie.
	6:19pm Dean: Mormon Tabernacle Choir?
	🦇 6:19pm Julie: and she wrote that one!
	6:19pm Androu B.: Well, let's see if Devon will take up that challenge!
	🦇 6:20pm Julie: I think he will play some Toomorrow
	6:22pm Dean: This is the album that appeared after I'd started working a record store. We were, of course, "cool," but we played it with some frequency.
	🦇 6:22pm Julie: this is a great album, I like it more than Physical
	🦇 6:23pm Handy Haversack: Hello. Julie and Dark Ones. Greetings from Western Pennsylvania and the American Road. And RIP, ONJ.
	🦇 6:23pm Julie: hiya Handy!
	🦇 6:25pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Handy!
	🦇 6:26pm Bas NL: Howdy Handy!
	🦇 6:29pm Julie: she has about 4 xmas albums and I don't listen to any of them :p
	6:30pm Androu B.: ¡Hola, Handy! Where exactly in Western PA? Near Punxatawney? Pittsburgh? Schancksville? Erie?
	🦇 6:32pm Handy Haversack: Hey, pals! Androu, somos en Clarion. It's been our go-to stop for a set of years now. Nice field at this motel for the dog to run around in when we get off the road. I think we're going to go to a brewpub "downtown" in a little bit here.
	6:33pm Dean: I wish folks would relax with the anti-Christmas music preferences. There are so many gorgeous holiday records out there.
	🦇 6:34pm Julie: it just seems silly to have an album for only a certain time of year. I can't even get into the moody blues one.
	🦇 6:34pm chris in the redwoods: i blame capitalism, Dean. :) but noted.
	🦇 6:34pm Julie: I don't like Duet albums either. Although of course I have hers
	6:34pm Scott67: G'day Julie & Nighties!☕😎🤙🌻🦜🦜🦜
	🦇 6:35pm Julie: hiya Scott!
	🦇 6:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Handy. Good to know Bagpipe or K8 don't get carsick!
	🦇 6:35pm Julie: Handy how does K8 feel about ONJ?
	🦇 6:36pm Bas NL: Hi Scott!
	🦇 6:36pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Scott!
	6:37pm Androu B.: Funny, I've been hearing this one a lot over almost every store's Muzak system.
	6:37pm Dean: Good Christmas music albums are playable year-round, trust me. I agree that the arbitrary acknowledgement of "a certain time of year" is, well, arbitrary. But then I don't like acknowledgment of birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, driver's license expirations...you get the picture. I do love that people wrote music of celebration that for hundreds of years we have repeatedly performed.
	🦇 6:38pm Julie: next week's bonus hour CHRISTMAS
	6:38pm adamdoesit: Always loved "Twist of Fate." Heaven couldn't wait anymore. Godspeed, ONJ. (Not that I really believe in that kind of thing, but she sounds the part.)
	6:38pm Dean: That is such a fantastic idea.
	🦇 6:39pm Julie: she did a christmas album with john travolta
	6:40pm Dean: I would appreciate hearing her delivery of a Christmas tune, well-known or not.
	🦇 6:41pm Bas NL: This Grace and Gratitude she released herself?
	6:41pm Scott67: G'day Bas! ☕😎🤙💨🍺
	🦇 6:42pm Julie: depends where, EMI someplaces. It's also billed only as Olivia.
	6:42pm Dean: Michael Praetorius, "In Dulce Jubilo," perfect for her, melodically splendid.
	6:42pm Androu B.: Would Livvy have ever guessed she'd be friends with a Scientologist? I guess it wouldn't have mattered to her, whether or not she was aware of it, as I'm sure she wasn't the kind of person to judge friends and acquaintances by any measure
	🦇 6:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: G'day, Scott. Salute to an Aussie today. Are a lot of people talking about ONJ there?
	🦇 6:43pm Julie: they were definitely tight. it was sweet.
	6:43pm Scott67: G'day Chris!☕😎🤙💨🍺
	🦇 6:44pm Julie: he posted a little tribute to her (on instagram I think?) as did Elton
	6:46pm Scott67: G'day Ken, yeah mate. We are all pretty sad about her loss mate. But what a legacy she has left🥀
	🦇 6:46pm Midge: OH YES.
	6:46pm Asheville Jon: X A N A D U !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	6:47pm Androu B.: G'Day, Scottso! 👊😎🍻 Sorry we have to meet again under such a somber occasion. I'm sure she meant a lot to some folks you know over there.
	🦇 6:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Lot of Xanadu talk on Olivia's ravioli chat board yesterday.
	🦇 6:48pm Handy Haversack: Ken, we actually think Bagpipe does get a little carsick, but we give him a couple of Benadryl, which seems to deal with the worst of it. But he never sleeps in the car, just stares out the window and often pants.
	6:49pm adamdoesit: Thanks for this, Julie. We should all bring so much happiness, and receive such a joyous farewell.
	🦇 6:50pm Aitch: Don-O and Kitten's 24 hr Xanadu special link here for those brave enough. www.wfmu.org...
	6:50pm Scott67: G'day Androu, yep Livvy was well loved here mate.🌻
	6:52pm Asheville Jon: my daughter got a physical today
	6:52pm Dean: Was selling records in '80, too, when Xanadu and, so it seems, many over-produced spectacles were marketed, and much to my chagrin. I really appreciate the perspective of decades through which to hear them again. I mean Alan Parsons, War of the Worlds, Meat Loaf... Then they were fun but negligible. Now I like that I can listen through the overblown production to hear what at least some of those artists were trying to produce.
	🦇 6:52pm Handy Haversack: Glad to catch part of the tribute, Julie! Got off the road just in time. Many thanks! See you Dark Ones again soon. And from home territories!
	🦇 6:53pm chris in the redwoods: safe travels, Handy, K8 and Bagpipe!
	6:53pm Scott67: Drive safe Handy!😎🤙
	🦇 6:54pm chris in the redwoods: enjoyed very much, Julie! thank you! take care, everyone. see you around.
	6:55pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Julie! Wonderful show and lovely ONJ tribute!
	6:55pm Scott67: Thanks Julie, be well mate.😎🤙🌻🦜
	🦇 6:55pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Julie!
	🦇 6:55pm Bas NL: Thank you Julie! Great show and what a great tribute! Bye all!
	6:55pm Big Hot Sky: Merci!
	6:56pm dreamyandseedy: thank you Julie!
	🦇 6:56pm Julie: thanks so much everyone..think I might cry now
	6:56pm Asheville Jon: thanks Julie!
	6:56pm Dean: I just realized that my wife brought to our domestic combination a copy of Grease. I'll play it tonight. (My quibble is with Travolta.)
	6:57pm Androu B.: And it' s amazing the many genres she covered throughout her musical career. You know, I was just reminded of a weird moment of synchronicity in 1981: The day I first heard "Heart Attack" on the radio was the day that my mother got the news about the death of one of our distant relatives. Take one guess what the cause of death was. Thanks, Julie!
	6:57pm Asheville Jon: wait, you aren't crying already? I thought we all were..
	🦇 6:58pm Julie: the best song from Grease is not actually FROM the musical
	🦇 6:58pm Midge: Thanks Julie!
	🦇 6:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Julie ~
	🦇 6:58pm Bas NL: And all bats are off now.
	6:59pm Dean: Much as the song many people love from Bach wasn't his.
	🦇 6:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Julie. Don't put off them cancer screenings, folks!
