	♥ 11:10am Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @11:09 Oh, we had it. Wind chills were in the single digits this past week when I left for work. I was all layered up. I know the drill.
	♥ 11:11am DJ Babs: Yep! We've escaped most of the bad weather thus far...so we are definitely going to get more...
	♥ 11:13am DJ Babs: No bad snowstorms yet either…knocking on wood….lol

	♥ 11:17am Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @11:17 It's all so good!
	♥ 11:18am DJ Babs: Putting this playlist together was downright healing, I must admit....
	11:22am Mr. Oxford: Hello DJ Babs, Krys O, David the Splatter, and anyone else listening. I need to go somewhere but I am listening for a while. Really like the playlist so far. Also DJ Babs, I love your current profile picture. It's so cool!
	♥ 11:23am DJ Babs: Hahaha thank you! I had to update it to the new hair colour. The beret made me smoke, I swear...LOL
	♥ 11:24am DJ Babs: Happy to have you with us for as long as you can stay David!!! :-)
	♥ 11:24am David The Splatter: ↳ Mr. Oxford @11:22 Greetings, Mr. Oxford!
	11:25am Mr. Oxford: ↳ David The Splatter @11:24 Greetings David!
	♥ 11:25am David The Splatter: ↳ DJ Babs @11:23 The cigarettes come with the beret. It's the law. :D
	11:28am Mr. Oxford: "Sunny" is still quite popular in Estonia, especially with older folks.
	11:29am Mr. Oxford: Though I am the opposite, I can no longer stand the song nor the various versions out there : D
	♥ 11:31am DJ Babs: ↳ David The Splatter @11:25 They do!!!! I admit to indulging once in a while...
	♥ 11:31am DJ Babs: ↳ Mr. Oxford @11:29 LOL Fair enough! Well we shall move along from that one then...plenty of music ahead!!!
	♥ 11:33am DJ Babs: ↳ Mr. Oxford @11:28 One last thought on Sunny...Germans also seem to love the heck outta that one...
	11:33am Mr. Oxford: But I am really liking the current set with calypso, ska, and whatever else that may come!
	♥ 11:33am DJ Babs: This is definitely the calypska set! Oh so much more to come. We shall be spanning the decades to almost 2025 I think!
	11:34am Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ Babs @11:33 I did not know that! Very interesting. Also it is popular in many countries that had been part of Soviet Union. Probably something that just caught on.
	♥ 11:37am DJ Babs: I do have to say, great tunes do endure...to the point where we don't like them. I have to say that I have rediscovered many songs that I had earlier dismissed and now I absolutely think they are genius. Case in point...I'm currently obsessed by Chumbawumba's Tubthumping LOL. My husband thinks there's something seriously wrong with me but it's songwriting EXCELLENCE LOL
	♥ 11:38am DJ Babs: Also it's plenty ok for you to agree with him LOL
	♥ 11:39am WR: The warm Ska sounds are luring me out from under the covers.
	♥ 11:40am Krys O.: Sunny was a favorite of mine when I was about 4 years old, because I associated it with my older sister who was in college. She would take me riding in her car when she was home from school. We heard Sunny, Groovin' Judy in Disguise, etc. Those songs still get me in the feels.
	11:40am Mr. Oxford: ↳ DJ Babs @11:37 Hahaha. I have never heard that song before but I will check it out. At the end of the day, it is absolutely fine for someone to like whatever they like at a given point...Unless it is something that is promoting horrific things like misogyny etc.
	11:41am Mr. Oxford: ↳ Krys O. @11:40 Thank you for sharing that. I am glad the song brings great memories for you.
	♥ 11:41am Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @11:37 An old friend was a road manager for Chumbawumba. He said they partied hard and were sweet people.
	11:43am Mr. Oxford: Well just a month ago here in Estonia, I went to our company christmas party. A really great band started playing music and the moment they started playing "Sunny", the number of people on the dancefloor doubled. They were all so happy, which was nice to see. And the band was great too, even if the melody of "Sunny" was bothering me due to its overplayed nature for me haha.
	♥ 11:45am Krys O.: ↳ Mr. Oxford @11:43 The story behind Bobby Hebb's song Sunny is poignant. en.wikipedia.org... "Hebb wrote the song after his older brother, Harold, was stabbed to death outside a Nashville nightclub.[3] Hebb was devastated by the event and many critics say it inspired the lyrics and tune. According to Hebb, he merely wrote the song as an expression of a preference for a "sunny" disposition over a "lousy" disposition following the murder of his brother.[4]"
	♥ 11:45am DJ Babs: ↳ WR @11:39 Hi WR! Yaaas, that's the point. Tho you can also stay under the covers!
	♥ 11:46am DJ Babs: ↳ Krys O. @11:45 Ahh I didn't know that...thank you for sharing that...and your lovely story about your sis...
	♥ 11:48am DJ Babs: And yes, Chumbawumba were punk anarchists! People often forget that!
	11:49am Mr. Oxford: ↳ Krys O. @11:45 Oh my. Thank you for sharing this story. I might now look at the song differently.
	11:49am Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Light My Fire" by "Shirley Bassey" What a version!
	11:49am Mr. Oxford: ↳ WR @11:39 Hey WR!
	♥ 11:50am DJ Babs: I know at no time is Shirley Bassey chill really...but this is soooo smoooooth,. Oh yes Mr. Oxford! This is mindblowing. Oh Shirl sure had it on this record for sure!!!!
	♥ 11:56am DJ Babs: Krys I LOVE your artwork for the show this week! Your colour scheme is gorgeous!
	♥ 12:02pm DJ Babs: I was going to play the groove armada version of this...and go down a whole rabbit hole of trip hop...but maybe that's for next month LOL
	12:05pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Solitude" by "Billie Holiday" My favorite Billie Holiday track along with "God Bless the Child". I have not heard her music in a long, long time.
	♥ 12:07pm DJ Babs: Yes, it's always a comfort to return to Billie. This is such a perfect song and performance...
	12:07pm shellioh: i made it!
	12:08pm shellioh: perfect tunes for my meeting!
	♥ 12:08pm DJ Babs: Shelliiii! Hi Sweetie! I was thinking about some of these selections for your next runway as well.
	♥ 12:09pm DJ Babs: That Billie/Nina back to back is like a 1 2 combo of smooth awesomeness...
	12:13pm shellioh: ↳ DJ Babs @12:08 i love that!!!
	♥ 12:13pm DJ Babs: This is another song I will play or listen to anytime anywhere always. I absolutely adore it!
	♥ 12:14pm WR: Luxurious sounds to accompany my making myself a full breakfast (brunch) instead of the usual oatmeal & banana.
	♥ 12:14pm DJ Babs: I almost suggested this for Derek and my wedding song but it's a bit clingy LOL
	♥ 12:14pm DJ Babs: So glad you are enjoying WR! I was going for lush. Luuuuuuuush...
	♥ 12:15pm DJ Babs: I don't usually get to program this kinda stuff on Echo Beach so it's so nice to be able to do this! And it's perfect for this cold grey rainy day!
	♥ 12:16pm David The Splatter: Wonderful music, Babs. I've got to run, but thank you for the show today.
	♥ 12:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" by "Julee Cruise" Lovely....
	♥ 12:17pm DJ Babs: Thank you so much for joining us David! It was really great to get to hang out and I'm so glad you enjoyed the tunes! Happy Errand Running and have an awesome day!!!
	♥ 12:17pm DJ Babs: ↳ Krys O. @12:17 Another little nod to the great David Lynch...
	12:26pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "The Lonely Shepherd" by "Zamfir, James Last" Will always remind me of Kill Bill. You go Beatrice Kid!
	♥ 12:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Before We Begin" by "Broadcast" I was just thinking last night, a bunch of hours ago, how good Broadcast are and how I keep forgetting they are one of my favourite bands. If you asked me for some of my favourite bands, I would probably forget to include them, but they're probably close to the top, really.
	12:29pm Mr. Oxford: I have to go as well. But thanks so much, DJ Babs for this great show. I will catch up on the show in the archives. Have a great weekend everyone!
	♥ 12:31pm DJ Babs: Sorry about the feedback everyone. OOOPS.
	♥ 12:34pm DJ Babs: AWWW YEAH. This is my smooth guilty pleasure.
	♥ 12:35pm WR: ↳ Song: "Ceremony" by "Chromatics, Glass Candy" nice joy division song version.
	♥ 12:36pm DJ Babs: Right?! Also Glass Candy AND Chromatics together?! YES. Also I do profusely apologize for this song...but there's just something about I love so freakin' much LOL It's a VIIIIBE
	♥ 12:39pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @11:56 Thanks! Sorry for the delay in responding. I just had an ocular migraine. It's over now. Haven't had one in years.
	♥ 12:39pm DJ Babs: oh noooo will you be ok for your show?
	12:42pm Mr Fab: Doing breakfast and chores of the morning type stuff. But just wanted to say how great this show has been, what I’ve heard of it. You’re killing it, Babs! The nice kind of killing, of course.
	♥ 12:43pm DJ Babs: You could say I am killing you softly with these songs.... HELLO FAB!
	♥ 12:44pm DJ Babs: Congrats on your new show!!!
	♥ 12:44pm DJ Babs: I just figured with the fires, inauguration and general nonsense we could all do with just some gentle sounds....
	12:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @12:44 Thanks! I’m excited.
	♥ 12:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @12:42 x2 congrats for the new show Fab!
	12:46pm Mr Fab: Thanks! I’m excited.
	♥ 12:46pm DJ Babs: Friday mornings!!!! That's a good lineup of shows for SURE!
	♥ 12:46pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @12:39 I'm fine. Thank you. It's something that doesn't cause any pain. There's just a swirling kaleidoscope in my field of vision. I used to have them often many years ago.
	♥ 12:47pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @12:46 It was so much fun yesterday!
	♥ 12:48pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Krys O. @12:46 Wow... I did not know that existed.
	♥ 12:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ Krys O. @12:46 yes I hate the visual squigglies and flashies. The WORST. And the nausea. Ugh.
	♥ 12:50pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @12:48 I don't get nauseous. It makes me feel a little tired. I'll take a nap later.
	♥ 12:51pm DJ Babs: oh that's a good thing. Migraines are so weird in all their forms. But they are exhausting that's for sure!
	12:52pm shellioh: loving this song!
	♥ 12:53pm DJ Babs: cocteau twins always deliver. Randy is ALWAYS asking for me to play them at Juicebox...and I do often at the end of the night.
	♥ 12:53pm Krys O.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @12:48 It usually is triggered by stress and fatigue. I was super-stressed for days because my bank had a major technical outage and my pay was not deposited. It's all sorted out now. Phew!
	12:54pm Mr Fab: No ones named Cocteau. They're not twins. So why are they called: The COCTEAU! TWINS! -if Jerry Seinfeld was on college radio
	♥ 12:54pm Krys O.: This show has been glorious! Thank you, Babs!!! xxxooo
	12:55pm Mr Fab: The Thompson Twins. Same deal!
	♥ 12:55pm Krys O.: Meep Moop!
	♥ 12:57pm WR: Thank you! DJ Babs!
	♥ 12:58pm WR: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Talkin'" by "Iggy Pop" Great choice for Iggy to cover!
	♥ 12:58pm DJ Babs: Thank you thank you thank you everyone! Please do stick around for Krys O! And have an amazing amazing day! I hope this helped you all feel good in the feels!!!
	♥ 12:59pm DJ Babs: ↳ WR @12:58 I think it's one of his best!

	11:49am Mr. Oxford: ↳ WR @11:39 Hey WR!
	♥ 11:50am DJ Babs: I know at no time is Shirley Bassey chill really...but this is soooo smoooooth,. Oh yes Mr. Oxford! This is mindblowing. Oh Shirl sure had it on this record for sure!!!!
	♥ 11:56am DJ Babs: Krys I LOVE your artwork for the show this week! Your colour scheme is gorgeous!
	♥ 12:02pm DJ Babs: I was going to play the groove armada version of this...and go down a whole rabbit hole of trip hop...but maybe that's for next month LOL
	12:05pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Solitude" by "Billie Holiday" My favorite Billie Holiday track along with "God Bless the Child". I have not heard her music in a long, long time.
	♥ 12:07pm DJ Babs: Yes, it's always a comfort to return to Billie. This is such a perfect song and performance...
	12:07pm shellioh: i made it!
	12:08pm shellioh: perfect tunes for my meeting!
	♥ 12:08pm DJ Babs: Shelliiii! Hi Sweetie! I was thinking about some of these selections for your next runway as well.
	♥ 12:09pm DJ Babs: That Billie/Nina back to back is like a 1 2 combo of smooth awesomeness...
	12:13pm shellioh: ↳ DJ Babs @12:08 i love that!!!
	♥ 12:13pm DJ Babs: This is another song I will play or listen to anytime anywhere always. I absolutely adore it!
	♥ 12:14pm WR: Luxurious sounds to accompany my making myself a full breakfast (brunch) instead of the usual oatmeal & banana.
	♥ 12:14pm DJ Babs: I almost suggested this for Derek and my wedding song but it's a bit clingy LOL
	♥ 12:14pm DJ Babs: So glad you are enjoying WR! I was going for lush. Luuuuuuuush...
	♥ 12:15pm DJ Babs: I don't usually get to program this kinda stuff on Echo Beach so it's so nice to be able to do this! And it's perfect for this cold grey rainy day!
	♥ 12:16pm David The Splatter: Wonderful music, Babs. I've got to run, but thank you for the show today.
	♥ 12:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart" by "Julee Cruise" Lovely....
	♥ 12:17pm DJ Babs: Thank you so much for joining us David! It was really great to get to hang out and I'm so glad you enjoyed the tunes! Happy Errand Running and have an awesome day!!!
	♥ 12:17pm DJ Babs: ↳ Krys O. @12:17 Another little nod to the great David Lynch...
	12:26pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "The Lonely Shepherd" by "Zamfir, James Last" Will always remind me of Kill Bill. You go Beatrice Kid!
	♥ 12:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Before We Begin" by "Broadcast" I was just thinking last night, a bunch of hours ago, how good Broadcast are and how I keep forgetting they are one of my favourite bands. If you asked me for some of my favourite bands, I would probably forget to include them, but they're probably close to the top, really.
	12:29pm Mr. Oxford: I have to go as well. But thanks so much, DJ Babs for this great show. I will catch up on the show in the archives. Have a great weekend everyone!
	♥ 12:31pm DJ Babs: Sorry about the feedback everyone. OOOPS.
	♥ 12:34pm DJ Babs: AWWW YEAH. This is my smooth guilty pleasure.
	♥ 12:35pm WR: ↳ Song: "Ceremony" by "Chromatics, Glass Candy" nice joy division song version.
	♥ 12:36pm DJ Babs: Right?! Also Glass Candy AND Chromatics together?! YES. Also I do profusely apologize for this song...but there's just something about I love so freakin' much LOL It's a VIIIIBE
	♥ 12:39pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @11:56 Thanks! Sorry for the delay in responding. I just had an ocular migraine. It's over now. Haven't had one in years.
	♥ 12:39pm DJ Babs: oh noooo will you be ok for your show?
	12:42pm Mr Fab: Doing breakfast and chores of the morning type stuff. But just wanted to say how great this show has been, what I’ve heard of it. You’re killing it, Babs! The nice kind of killing, of course.
	♥ 12:43pm DJ Babs: You could say I am killing you softly with these songs.... HELLO FAB!
	♥ 12:44pm DJ Babs: Congrats on your new show!!!
	♥ 12:44pm DJ Babs: I just figured with the fires, inauguration and general nonsense we could all do with just some gentle sounds....
	12:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @12:44 Thanks! I’m excited.
	♥ 12:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @12:42 x2 congrats for the new show Fab!
	12:46pm Mr Fab: Thanks! I’m excited.
	♥ 12:46pm DJ Babs: Friday mornings!!!! That's a good lineup of shows for SURE!
	♥ 12:46pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @12:39 I'm fine. Thank you. It's something that doesn't cause any pain. There's just a swirling kaleidoscope in my field of vision. I used to have them often many years ago.
	♥ 12:47pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @12:46 It was so much fun yesterday!
	♥ 12:48pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Krys O. @12:46 Wow... I did not know that existed.
	♥ 12:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ Krys O. @12:46 yes I hate the visual squigglies and flashies. The WORST. And the nausea. Ugh.
	♥ 12:50pm Krys O.: ↳ DJ Babs @12:48 I don't get nauseous. It makes me feel a little tired. I'll take a nap later.
	♥ 12:51pm DJ Babs: oh that's a good thing. Migraines are so weird in all their forms. But they are exhausting that's for sure!
	12:52pm shellioh: loving this song!
	♥ 12:53pm DJ Babs: cocteau twins always deliver. Randy is ALWAYS asking for me to play them at Juicebox...and I do often at the end of the night.
	♥ 12:53pm Krys O.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @12:48 It usually is triggered by stress and fatigue. I was super-stressed for days because my bank had a major technical outage and my pay was not deposited. It's all sorted out now. Phew!
	12:54pm Mr Fab: No ones named Cocteau. They're not twins. So why are they called: The COCTEAU! TWINS! -if Jerry Seinfeld was on college radio
	♥ 12:54pm Krys O.: This show has been glorious! Thank you, Babs!!! xxxooo
	12:55pm Mr Fab: The Thompson Twins. Same deal!
	♥ 12:55pm Krys O.: Meep Moop!
	♥ 12:57pm WR: Thank you! DJ Babs!
	♥ 12:58pm WR: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Talkin'" by "Iggy Pop" Great choice for Iggy to cover!
	♥ 12:58pm DJ Babs: Thank you thank you thank you everyone! Please do stick around for Krys O! And have an amazing amazing day! I hope this helped you all feel good in the feels!!!
	♥ 12:59pm DJ Babs: ↳ WR @12:58 I think it's one of his best!
