	3:05pm fleep: Greetings, Sheila. How's your cortex today?
	3:06pm djsheilab: Hurray!!!! So happy to be home : ) And you're all here!
	3:07pm djsheilab: Just got my hands on that Cortex release @fleep. So creepy + beautiful!
	3:07pm JakeGould: FWIW, I caught something this past week. The “cold” feeling was oddly minty in feeling if that makes any sense. Weird cold,
	3:09pm drewo: No foolin'! Sheila's the best.
	3:11pm Evan From Seattle: Hey Sheila and everyone!
	♥ 3:12pm Gaylord Fields: @djasheilab: Assuming/hoping you're well — I think the WFLU has finally subsided throughout the staff.
	3:13pm djsheilab: Why thank you @Drewo!
	3:13pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields Hey! Pretty much back to normal now. But it completely wiped me. As I know it did for so many. You feeling better too?
	3:16pm djsheilab: I haven't even had a chance to thank you all for your marathon support. Geezzzz.....lotsa catching up to do!
	♥ 3:17pm Gaylord Fields: Pretty much, Sheila — I'd say 95%.
	3:17pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: I know you could have been 105%.
	♥ 3:18pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: As long as I'm not 105°.
	3:19pm Mark R.: This is a very solid concept for a song, lyrically. You could write like 92 verses about that relationship.
	3:19pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: Fair enough. I think I produced 110% of my yearly mucus allowance this past week. USA! USA! USA!
	3:20pm Cliff: Bleecccchhhhh
	3:21pm JakeGould: @Blech:Your disgust was my existence.
	3:21pm Mark R.: I guess the subtext is Daddy was a man of God, but he was also a man, if you dig what I'm saying...
	3:22pm djsheilab: @Mark R. Hehe....yup! Excellent title, excellent concept. My theory is that any record with Go-Go in the title is fabulous. I have yet to be proven wrong.
	3:24pm Cliff: Belly....I was so into this band in college
	3:24pm miketp portland: Love the selections. First time with the show. Glad to be here. Sunny n 70 ish in Portland Oregon
	3:25pm djsheilab: Welcome @Miketp Portland! Thanks for tuning into my show : )
	♥ 3:27pm chris: holy smokes, this Soapkills is killing it. as are you, SheilaB. natch.
	♥ 3:28pm chris: btw, i'm about to start week five with this flu thing. fml. hope everyone is feeling well and breathing normally.
	3:28pm JakeGould: @chris: Adding this to my want list: www.crammed.be...…
	♥ 3:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'm glad I didn't come down with anything this week. Here is my first-world problem: I heard the Bumble Bee Tuna song this week and it's my earworm. I'm at work now and unable to replace it with a better one. "Yum yum bumble bee, Bumble Bee Tuna!"
	3:29pm JakeGould: I meant this: www.crammed.be...
	♥ 3:29pm Uncle Michael: Feeling better, Sheila?
	3:30pm Listener Robert: I've seen the videos of youse guys practically swallowing the mic when singing, 7 wonder why you aren't all sick all the time. Glad you're better.
	3:31pm Cliff: Julie was awesome, I listened to all three of her fill-ins that Thursday/Friday. So glad you're feeling better now Sheila!
	♥ 3:31pm chris: heck yeah, @jake! i should have suspected Yasmine Hamdan was involved.
	3:34pm KP: Who's this then
	3:34pm JasonInBoston: Bobby Reed is an awesome 45. Found an original vinyl issue with a crack for $1.00. Sold it for $100. Missed it terribly. Years later here I am again buying a copy with a crack in the deadwax for $175. Yeesh. Foxbase Alpha is one my favorite albums of all time.
	3:35pm Cooh John: Booms all around to djsheilab and all the usual suspects. Let the weekend begin.
	3:35pm northguineahills: I once talked to Rachel Goswell after a Mojave 3 show, and as we parted, she kissed me on the cheek, and I nearly fainted, as I'd had a crush on her since I was 16 back in the Slowdive days....
	3:36pm JakeGould: Man, this flu song is accusatory and might start fights between sniffling/coughing folk.
	3:37pm JakeGould: “I Caught the Flu From WFMU” and all I got was this lousy marathon pledge bill.
	3:37pm Julie: I feel very lucky I didn't get the WFLU, and I did wipe everything down. One week later still good (knock knock)
	3:38pm Honeybear: @NGH you might even still have her germs.
	♥ 3:39pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: You are my hero for playing the flu song!
	♥ 3:39pm chris: oh, that is the stuff of dreams, @ngh!
	3:41pm Julie: wendy james!
	3:41pm Cliff: There's a WFLU in Miles City, FL.
	3:42pm JakeGould: This is why I listen to this show: I want to hear modern pop like “ “Transmission Vamp” in-between the vintage stuff. Great work!
	3:43pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields So fitting, right? Found it this past week in Allentown, PA.
	3:43pm JakeGould: Aarrrgh! “Transvision Vamp”! Stupid sexy spellcheck.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Thanks @JakeGould! Was so great meeting you during the marathon.
	3:44pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: The feeling is the same… But less congested as of today.
	3:44pm Carmichael: Hey I dig these Vamps. Clicky Starred!
	♥ 3:46pm Gaylord Fields: @djaheilab: Connie + Ellie = bliss!
	♥ 3:47pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: It was Fate apologizing for making you sick in the one way it knew you'd accept the apology.
	3:50pm Ryab: mmmmmmmm that tabla
	3:50pm Honeybear: I like the way SheilaB's sensibilities extrapolate to years well past 1968, and to future decades, even. Helps me catch up on stuff I blotted out from my awareness during much of the actual 90s, for example.
	3:53pm djsheilab: Hehe...yup @Honeybear Sometimes I do like to travel beyond my beloved 1968 : )
	3:56pm Evan From Seattle: Love this Still Parade track.. Is the album out yet?
	♥ 3:57pm rsj: Super show!
	3:58pm northguineahills: Wow, haven't heard this Astrud before!
	3:58pm statoj: Hey Sheilab! I'm here, better late than never! Welcome back. ThisAstrid G. song is an interesting take on the original.
	4:04pm Cliff: A tilde!
	4:04pm Swan_Gone: tilde
	♥ 4:04pm Uncle Michael: tilde?
	4:04pm statoj: It is an umlaut!
	♥ 4:05pm Uncle Michael: You must be German.
	4:05pm statoj: Oh right, tilde.
	4:05pm Tommy Haynes: We got your back...great show
	4:06pm Cliff: You're banned from the typography club, statoj! ;0
	4:07pm JakeGould: @DJSheilaB: Being there in the phone room during Todd-O-Phonic Todd’s show and seeing Todd’s face when you ripped him a new one about the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (“What is this? 1994!”) was just fan-fucking-tastic. Now THAT’S funny!
	♥ 4:07pm Stevel: Tilde Umlaut was known primarily for her soap-operaesque tele dramas, following her career as one of the renowned "Goering's Gals".
	4:08pm T from New B: The squiggly line is called a tilde, which is German for "you must put these words together under penalty of death"
	4:09pm northguineahills: Lush! Squeee!
	4:09pm Cliff: LUSH!!!! :D <3
	4:09pm JasonInBoston: YEAH! You tell em! Going to really love seeing you, Stacy, Rebecca and others join forces. GIRL POWER!
	♥ 4:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: I realized that I had some earbungs at my desk, so I'm now all sophisticated and listening to the show.
	♥ 4:10pm common: this is purdy!
	4:10pm MONEYBAG$: This is NEW Lush?
	4:10pm JakeGould: When I see a tilde on a menu I know I will be paying $3 more than I should for something.
	4:10pm statoj: Cliff, oh darn, ruined my rep and so early in the show!
	♥ 4:11pm Guido from Cologne: Wellestablished female DeeJane-team from Cologne: Miss Stereo & Kitty Atomic (Busy for some 15 years or so) www.tsunami-club.de... dunno if it is such a rare thing
	4:11pm JakeGould: Yes! Lush!
	4:11pm djsheilab: @Moneybag$ NEW Lush!
	4:11pm northguineahills: Ok, gotta hop, skip and jump away (after Lush), thanks Sheila! might make it back for the end of your show.
	4:11pm northguineahills: I like how the Lush EP cover is contiguous w/ the old Lush cover art.
	4:11pm djsheilab: Thanks @northguineahills!
	4:12pm djsheilab: Seems with Lush, not much has changed. Which to me is a good thing!
	4:12pm JakeGould: Who does art direction at 4AD nowadays? Not Ivo Watts-Russell still, is it?
	4:13pm nickrhombi: saw lush on the second (and my only) lalapalooza tour. guitar player used a boogie one 12" cabinet. i thought that was really great. they sounded awesome.
	4:13pm Evan From Seattle: Like I wasn't looking forward to seeing Lush this month already. Love that new one! Wow.
	4:15pm JakeGould: I saw Lush in 1991 with Smashing Orange at the Marquee in Chelsea and in 1992 at the Ritz with Poster Children. Pleases me they are still playing the same stuff I love them for 20+ years later.
	4:17pm Carmichael: Boy the Honeybees outright stole the riff from "Come Go With Me", didn't they?
	4:17pm MONEYBAG$: I was going to say the Poster Children should come back, but they probably never broke up
	♥ 4:17pm Gaylord Fields: New Lush? I'm in!
	4:18pm MONEYBAG$: Sorry, no THE in front of Poster Children
	4:20pm KP: Going from device to device seeking signal
	4:21pm P-90: Great old analog hi-fi recording quality on Ken Cope's lead vocal track!
	4:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Good to see Beverly finally following up "Happy New Year"!
	4:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Bit of a change in direction, though...
	4:23pm JakeGould: @MONEYBAG$: Sorry. Typos are my middle named.
	4:24pm statoj: Ken Cope has an analog voice.
	4:24pm djsheilab: Lotsa 4AD + dream-pop for you today.
	4:25pm Swan_Gone: Heard this song last nite on STL's local community radio!
	4:26pm MONEYBAG$: I was listening to Ariel Pink's last album earlier and wondering how that ended up on 4AD
	4:26pm Swan_Gone: I ain't mad at it!
	4:26pm djsheilab: We're gonna go from sad, to very sad, to absolutely devastating!
	4:26pm djsheilab: With a sexy Italian song in the middle.
	4:27pm Cliff: Here come the feels then
	4:27pm Mark R.: This singer has a Lou Reed quality, a bit. Yes?
	♥ 4:28pm common: I love a lot of his sad songs. wish I hadn't heard that he was such a jerk.
	4:31pm Mark R.: Lori seems like she's ready to party.
	♥ 4:34pm chris: that was rowrrrr!
	4:35pm JakeGould: Lori Loria could use some pants and a shirt.
	♥ 4:36pm chris: well, we recently learned that naked is a state of mind, at least according to Luscious Jackson, Jake... maybe Lori Loria took that a bit literally?
	4:39pm TDK60: I dig Melancholia. I'm not always that way but often. I mean 'Sketches of Spain' by Miles Davis is one of my fave LPs and that's melancholic, baby.
	♥ 4:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: The dopey deer is wearing a Charlie Brown shirt today. Maybe he can give it to Lori after April Fools Day is done. www.twitch.tv...
	4:40pm Honeybear: she's speaking the truth to us. every word.
	4:41pm off today: Siouxsie and mixer dud a duet if this song, but this version is better-- interlude
	4:41pm off today: Mozzer
	4:42pm Evan From Seattle: Oh man, both these tracks all the feels. Great stuff as usual Sheila.
	4:46pm JakeGould: I’m doing laundry and that song has devastated my laundry timing experience.
	4:46pm TDK60: Ben Watt I don't know but Marissa Nadler leans that melancholic way; love her music.
	♥ 4:49pm Stanley: All is suffering.
	4:49pm TDK60: Shelia B. You are so hep. Thanks for your honesty. Keep on spinnin' those platters.
	4:50pm TDK60: Sheila.
	♥ 4:50pm Joe McG: If anyone wants to hear more Ben Watt, he was on Trouble's program a couple of years ago in support of his last LP: wfmu.org...
	4:50pm dave: You are so right, Sheila
	4:54pm Cliff: That Number 9 album cover.....wowza
	4:54pm djsheilab: @JakeGould I hope you've recovered from your devastating laundry experience.
	4:54pm Honeybear: Having forced us to peer into the swirling, sucking abyss of muck and despair that is our soul, for most of us... Sheila now plunges us headfirst into K-Pop
	♥ 4:55pm Guido from Cologne: love The Kittens' track
	4:55pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: I think I need to put things in the dryer now… Or maybe not… Who knows… What does drying one’s clothes mean now anyway?
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It had to happen someday - Sophisticated Boom Boom !
	4:57pm P-90: In days gone by, songs like "We Find Him Guilty" were referred to as "Go-Go numbers"
	♥ 4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the Gone-Gone days...
	5:02pm Julie: was this before or after the Amazulu version?
	5:04pm djsheilab: I played a version by Joyella Blade from 1978 last year. Is that the one you mean? I don't know Amazulu.
	5:04pm Fred R: Time for my Friday unwind. Excellent selections today Sheila!!
	5:07pm djsheilab: @Fred R. Thank you!
	♥ 5:07pm JtotheK: hi everyone! @sheilab - i've been in and out of meetings all afternoon, but have been enjoying what i've heard! welcome back, hope you are feeling better, and btw -- great marathon shows!
	5:10pm P-90: Nice string pad entrance there.
	♥ 5:11pm Guido from Cologne: how great is Samantha Jones
	5:14pm P-90: Pretty great.
	♥ 5:15pm Guido from Cologne: perfect track to finish a northern soul comp (that's where i know this from)
	5:16pm P-90: Sue Lynne really popped!
	5:17pm Honeybear: My soul popped, hearing that track
	5:20pm TDK60: Aha, love a minor key song that ends in a major chord.
	♥ 5:22pm Mark the Sardine: Great set!
	5:25pm djsheilab: Man....it is so good to be back in this Studio A seat. And thank you @Mark the Sardine + to all of you for chiming in with all the love, insights + enthusiasm.
	5:27pm Bryan Chandler: Digging the sounds from WRUW-FM Over Here!
	5:28pm Cliff: A bit lascivious for 1946, huh
	5:28pm JakeGould: Oofff. I think there's some double entendre stuff happening here.
	5:29pm Honeybear: They were just as lascivious (or as SheilaB says, "depraved") in those years as we are now... just more artful about it.
	5:30pm sugarwolf: Hi!! Posting from the Hoboken train station. There are Girls Scouts selling cookies here!!!
	5:30pm P-90: "Soundies": they were the music videos of their day.
	5:31pm sugarwolf: I bought the Lush box set today!!
	5:32pm TDK60: Apparently there were "soundie" jukeboxes but they were very shortlived, late '40s like you say.
	♥ 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Soundies' - reminds me of that TV program Michael Feinstein had about music preservation : www.pbs.org...
	♥ 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dion said - 'I can't please everyone - I'm not a pizza!'
	5:35pm Evan From Seattle: I was living in England when this came out too. More than hearing the actual song was just random drunk people in the pub shouting "I WHIP MUH HURRR BACK AND FURTH!"
	5:36pm JakeGould: I'm fine with Willow.
	5:36pm P-90: They used to have these movie jukeboxes called "Panorams", you picked a song and the soundie played on a rear-projection screen. Sometimes also shown as short subjects in theaters.
	♥ 5:36pm tomasz.: i bootlegged this with an El-P beat when it came out, which i thought was pretty great, but Soundcloud evidently didn't, cuz they took it down
	5:37pm Julie: how the hell is Whip My Hair 6 years old??!!
	5:37pm Cliff: "It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it. That's what I look for in a reckihd."
	♥ 5:37pm tomasz.: oh yeah also i meant to say before, that Kittens track was ace
	5:38pm Swan_Gone: @Julie I know right. Seems like only yesterday
	♥ 5:39pm common: ah, the summer of 94. good times.
	5:40pm Julie: I have a LOT of albums from 1994..not sure what it was about that year, or maybe I was just shopping a lot
	5:41pm JakeGould: Career... Korea... Career... Korea... Career... Korea... Career... Korea...
	5:41pm sugarwolf: Wait this isn't Rita pavone!!!
	♥ 5:42pm Guido from Cologne: sugarwolf you say it i also know it from rita
	5:42pm JakeGould: @Julie: Didn't punk get broken in 1994 or so and labels threw money at tons of bands?
	5:44pm Eye_Eye: bloop :>
	5:46pm djsheilab: @Sugarwolf + @Guido Quite a giddy version right! I just discovered it myself. Love the Rita Pavone as well.
	5:52pm Honeybear: "Ann Lewis (アンルイス) is a Japanese pop-rock singer, born June 5, 1956 in Hyogo, Japan to a Japanese mother and an American father."
	5:53pm Cliff: Thanks Honeybear, I saw Roppongi and was wondering what the connection with Japan was
	5:55pm chalmers: Leather Tuscadero herself!
	5:55pm MONEYBAG$: This sounds like a song Clay Pigeon would play in a battle with Fabio
	5:55pm northguineahills: W00h00, made it back in time!
	5:56pm Carmichael: Trying to figure out the name of that screaming guitar player on the Ann Lewis stuff.
	5:56pm Honeybear: I would have been blown away if she was (strictly) Anglo-raised. That's why I had to check. But have there been any non-natively-raised vocalists that have attained some degree of pop success singing Japanese?
	5:56pm Honeybear: (Either way, I'm definitely a fan of hers, now).
	5:57pm P-90: McCartney's "Hi, Hi, Hi" might have influenced "Can the Can"
	5:57pm Dan from Toronto: Checking in. Rockin tunes!
	5:57pm Honeybear: Say hello to Allentown for us, Sheila!
	♥ 5:58pm Michael in Seattle: Thank you, Sheila B. You always give us the best musical gifts.
	5:58pm Cliff: Thank you Sheila <3 See you next week!
	♥ 5:58pm chris: thanks, sheilab!
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: That's enough boom-boom for one week. Have a good time in Allentown, Sheila. Thanks for the show.
	♥ 5:59pm Summer and Michael: We love you, Ms Boom-Boom!
	5:59pm Evan From Seattle: Thanks Sheila! Take care everyone!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks Sheila! xxxooo
	5:59pm Cliff: Oh, an abortion and masturbation show, sounds like fun
	♥ 6:01pm Michael in Seattle: more of the latter and there would be less of the former
	6:02pm nickrhombi: digging the can can synth vibe!

	3:02pm Cliff: Hi Sheila & everyone
	3:03pm JakeGould: Hello!
	3:03pm P-90: Welcome home!
	♥ 3:04pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila and everyone!
	♥ 3:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Boom boom, everybody!
	3:05pm Swan_Gone: !
	♥ 3:05pm Greg from ZONE 5: Welcome back, Sheila B!
	3:05pm fleep: Greetings, Sheila. How's your cortex today?
	3:06pm djsheilab: Hurray!!!! So happy to be home : ) And you're all here!
	3:07pm djsheilab: Just got my hands on that Cortex release @fleep. So creepy + beautiful!
	3:07pm JakeGould: FWIW, I caught something this past week. The “cold” feeling was oddly minty in feeling if that makes any sense. Weird cold,
	3:09pm drewo: No foolin'! Sheila's the best.
	3:11pm Evan From Seattle: Hey Sheila and everyone!
	♥ 3:12pm Gaylord Fields: @djasheilab: Assuming/hoping you're well — I think the WFLU has finally subsided throughout the staff.
	3:13pm djsheilab: Why thank you @Drewo!
	3:13pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields Hey! Pretty much back to normal now. But it completely wiped me. As I know it did for so many. You feeling better too?
	3:16pm djsheilab: I haven't even had a chance to thank you all for your marathon support. Geezzzz.....lotsa catching up to do!
	♥ 3:17pm Gaylord Fields: Pretty much, Sheila — I'd say 95%.
	3:17pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: I know you could have been 105%.
	♥ 3:18pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: As long as I'm not 105°.
	3:19pm Mark R.: This is a very solid concept for a song, lyrically. You could write like 92 verses about that relationship.
	3:19pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: Fair enough. I think I produced 110% of my yearly mucus allowance this past week. USA! USA! USA!
	3:20pm Cliff: Bleecccchhhhh
	3:21pm JakeGould: @Blech:Your disgust was my existence.
	3:21pm Mark R.: I guess the subtext is Daddy was a man of God, but he was also a man, if you dig what I'm saying...
	3:22pm djsheilab: @Mark R. Hehe....yup! Excellent title, excellent concept. My theory is that any record with Go-Go in the title is fabulous. I have yet to be proven wrong.
	3:24pm Cliff: Belly....I was so into this band in college
	3:24pm miketp portland: Love the selections. First time with the show. Glad to be here. Sunny n 70 ish in Portland Oregon
	3:25pm djsheilab: Welcome @Miketp Portland! Thanks for tuning into my show : )
	♥ 3:27pm chris: holy smokes, this Soapkills is killing it. as are you, SheilaB. natch.
	♥ 3:28pm chris: btw, i'm about to start week five with this flu thing. fml. hope everyone is feeling well and breathing normally.
	3:28pm JakeGould: @chris: Adding this to my want list: www.crammed.be...…
	♥ 3:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'm glad I didn't come down with anything this week. Here is my first-world problem: I heard the Bumble Bee Tuna song this week and it's my earworm. I'm at work now and unable to replace it with a better one. "Yum yum bumble bee, Bumble Bee Tuna!"
	3:29pm JakeGould: I meant this: www.crammed.be...
	♥ 3:29pm Uncle Michael: Feeling better, Sheila?
	3:30pm Listener Robert: I've seen the videos of youse guys practically swallowing the mic when singing, 7 wonder why you aren't all sick all the time. Glad you're better.
	3:31pm Cliff: Julie was awesome, I listened to all three of her fill-ins that Thursday/Friday. So glad you're feeling better now Sheila!
	♥ 3:31pm chris: heck yeah, @jake! i should have suspected Yasmine Hamdan was involved.
	3:34pm KP: Who's this then
	3:34pm JasonInBoston: Bobby Reed is an awesome 45. Found an original vinyl issue with a crack for $1.00. Sold it for $100. Missed it terribly. Years later here I am again buying a copy with a crack in the deadwax for $175. Yeesh. Foxbase Alpha is one my favorite albums of all time.
	3:35pm Cooh John: Booms all around to djsheilab and all the usual suspects. Let the weekend begin.
	3:35pm northguineahills: I once talked to Rachel Goswell after a Mojave 3 show, and as we parted, she kissed me on the cheek, and I nearly fainted, as I'd had a crush on her since I was 16 back in the Slowdive days....
	3:36pm JakeGould: Man, this flu song is accusatory and might start fights between sniffling/coughing folk.
	3:37pm JakeGould: “I Caught the Flu From WFMU” and all I got was this lousy marathon pledge bill.
	3:37pm Julie: I feel very lucky I didn't get the WFLU, and I did wipe everything down. One week later still good (knock knock)
	3:38pm Honeybear: @NGH you might even still have her germs.
	♥ 3:39pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: You are my hero for playing the flu song!
	♥ 3:39pm chris: oh, that is the stuff of dreams, @ngh!
	3:41pm Julie: wendy james!
	3:41pm Cliff: There's a WFLU in Miles City, FL.
	3:42pm JakeGould: This is why I listen to this show: I want to hear modern pop like “ “Transmission Vamp” in-between the vintage stuff. Great work!
	3:43pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields So fitting, right? Found it this past week in Allentown, PA.
	3:43pm JakeGould: Aarrrgh! “Transvision Vamp”! Stupid sexy spellcheck.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Thanks @JakeGould! Was so great meeting you during the marathon.
	3:44pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: The feeling is the same… But less congested as of today.
	3:44pm Carmichael: Hey I dig these Vamps. Clicky Starred!
	♥ 3:46pm Gaylord Fields: @djaheilab: Connie + Ellie = bliss!
	♥ 3:47pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: It was Fate apologizing for making you sick in the one way it knew you'd accept the apology.
	3:50pm Ryab: mmmmmmmm that tabla
	3:50pm Honeybear: I like the way SheilaB's sensibilities extrapolate to years well past 1968, and to future decades, even. Helps me catch up on stuff I blotted out from my awareness during much of the actual 90s, for example.
	3:53pm djsheilab: Hehe...yup @Honeybear Sometimes I do like to travel beyond my beloved 1968 : )
	3:56pm Evan From Seattle: Love this Still Parade track.. Is the album out yet?
	♥ 3:57pm rsj: Super show!
	3:58pm northguineahills: Wow, haven't heard this Astrud before!
	3:58pm statoj: Hey Sheilab! I'm here, better late than never! Welcome back. ThisAstrid G. song is an interesting take on the original.
	4:04pm Cliff: A tilde!
	4:04pm Swan_Gone: tilde
	♥ 4:04pm Uncle Michael: tilde?
	4:04pm statoj: It is an umlaut!
	♥ 4:05pm Uncle Michael: You must be German.
	4:05pm statoj: Oh right, tilde.
	4:05pm Tommy Haynes: We got your back...great show
	4:06pm Cliff: You're banned from the typography club, statoj! ;0
	4:07pm JakeGould: @DJSheilaB: Being there in the phone room during Todd-O-Phonic Todd’s show and seeing Todd’s face when you ripped him a new one about the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (“What is this? 1994!”) was just fan-fucking-tastic. Now THAT’S funny!
	♥ 4:07pm Stevel: Tilde Umlaut was known primarily for her soap-operaesque tele dramas, following her career as one of the renowned "Goering's Gals".
	4:08pm T from New B: The squiggly line is called a tilde, which is German for "you must put these words together under penalty of death"
	4:09pm northguineahills: Lush! Squeee!
	4:09pm Cliff: LUSH!!!! :D <3
	4:09pm JasonInBoston: YEAH! You tell em! Going to really love seeing you, Stacy, Rebecca and others join forces. GIRL POWER!
	♥ 4:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: I realized that I had some earbungs at my desk, so I'm now all sophisticated and listening to the show.
	♥ 4:10pm common: this is purdy!
	4:10pm MONEYBAG$: This is NEW Lush?
	4:10pm JakeGould: When I see a tilde on a menu I know I will be paying $3 more than I should for something.
	4:10pm statoj: Cliff, oh darn, ruined my rep and so early in the show!
	♥ 4:11pm Guido from Cologne: Wellestablished female DeeJane-team from Cologne: Miss Stereo & Kitty Atomic (Busy for some 15 years or so) www.tsunami-club.de... dunno if it is such a rare thing
	4:11pm JakeGould: Yes! Lush!
	4:11pm djsheilab: @Moneybag$ NEW Lush!
	4:11pm northguineahills: Ok, gotta hop, skip and jump away (after Lush), thanks Sheila! might make it back for the end of your show.
	4:11pm northguineahills: I like how the Lush EP cover is contiguous w/ the old Lush cover art.
	4:11pm djsheilab: Thanks @northguineahills!
	4:12pm djsheilab: Seems with Lush, not much has changed. Which to me is a good thing!
	4:12pm JakeGould: Who does art direction at 4AD nowadays? Not Ivo Watts-Russell still, is it?
	4:13pm nickrhombi: saw lush on the second (and my only) lalapalooza tour. guitar player used a boogie one 12" cabinet. i thought that was really great. they sounded awesome.
	4:13pm Evan From Seattle: Like I wasn't looking forward to seeing Lush this month already. Love that new one! Wow.
	4:15pm JakeGould: I saw Lush in 1991 with Smashing Orange at the Marquee in Chelsea and in 1992 at the Ritz with Poster Children. Pleases me they are still playing the same stuff I love them for 20+ years later.
	4:17pm Carmichael: Boy the Honeybees outright stole the riff from "Come Go With Me", didn't they?
	4:17pm MONEYBAG$: I was going to say the Poster Children should come back, but they probably never broke up
	♥ 4:17pm Gaylord Fields: New Lush? I'm in!
	4:18pm MONEYBAG$: Sorry, no THE in front of Poster Children
	4:20pm KP: Going from device to device seeking signal
	4:21pm P-90: Great old analog hi-fi recording quality on Ken Cope's lead vocal track!
	4:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Good to see Beverly finally following up "Happy New Year"!
	4:22pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Bit of a change in direction, though...
	4:23pm JakeGould: @MONEYBAG$: Sorry. Typos are my middle named.
	4:24pm statoj: Ken Cope has an analog voice.
	4:24pm djsheilab: Lotsa 4AD + dream-pop for you today.
	4:25pm Swan_Gone: Heard this song last nite on STL's local community radio!
	4:26pm MONEYBAG$: I was listening to Ariel Pink's last album earlier and wondering how that ended up on 4AD
	4:26pm Swan_Gone: I ain't mad at it!
	4:26pm djsheilab: We're gonna go from sad, to very sad, to absolutely devastating!
	4:26pm djsheilab: With a sexy Italian song in the middle.
	4:27pm Cliff: Here come the feels then
	4:27pm Mark R.: This singer has a Lou Reed quality, a bit. Yes?
	♥ 4:28pm common: I love a lot of his sad songs. wish I hadn't heard that he was such a jerk.
	4:31pm Mark R.: Lori seems like she's ready to party.
	♥ 4:34pm chris: that was rowrrrr!
	4:35pm JakeGould: Lori Loria could use some pants and a shirt.
	♥ 4:36pm chris: well, we recently learned that naked is a state of mind, at least according to Luscious Jackson, Jake... maybe Lori Loria took that a bit literally?
	4:39pm TDK60: I dig Melancholia. I'm not always that way but often. I mean 'Sketches of Spain' by Miles Davis is one of my fave LPs and that's melancholic, baby.
	♥ 4:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: The dopey deer is wearing a Charlie Brown shirt today. Maybe he can give it to Lori after April Fools Day is done. www.twitch.tv...
	4:40pm Honeybear: she's speaking the truth to us. every word.
	4:41pm off today: Siouxsie and mixer dud a duet if this song, but this version is better-- interlude
	4:41pm off today: Mozzer
	4:42pm Evan From Seattle: Oh man, both these tracks all the feels. Great stuff as usual Sheila.
	4:46pm JakeGould: I’m doing laundry and that song has devastated my laundry timing experience.
	4:46pm TDK60: Ben Watt I don't know but Marissa Nadler leans that melancholic way; love her music.
	♥ 4:49pm Stanley: All is suffering.
	4:49pm TDK60: Shelia B. You are so hep. Thanks for your honesty. Keep on spinnin' those platters.
	4:50pm TDK60: Sheila.
	♥ 4:50pm Joe McG: If anyone wants to hear more Ben Watt, he was on Trouble's program a couple of years ago in support of his last LP: wfmu.org...
	4:50pm dave: You are so right, Sheila
	4:54pm Cliff: That Number 9 album cover.....wowza
	4:54pm djsheilab: @JakeGould I hope you've recovered from your devastating laundry experience.
	4:54pm Honeybear: Having forced us to peer into the swirling, sucking abyss of muck and despair that is our soul, for most of us... Sheila now plunges us headfirst into K-Pop
	♥ 4:55pm Guido from Cologne: love The Kittens' track
	4:55pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: I think I need to put things in the dryer now… Or maybe not… Who knows… What does drying one’s clothes mean now anyway?
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It had to happen someday - Sophisticated Boom Boom !
	4:57pm P-90: In days gone by, songs like "We Find Him Guilty" were referred to as "Go-Go numbers"
	♥ 4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the Gone-Gone days...
	5:02pm Julie: was this before or after the Amazulu version?
	5:04pm djsheilab: I played a version by Joyella Blade from 1978 last year. Is that the one you mean? I don't know Amazulu.
	5:04pm Fred R: Time for my Friday unwind. Excellent selections today Sheila!!
	5:07pm djsheilab: @Fred R. Thank you!
	♥ 5:07pm JtotheK: hi everyone! @sheilab - i've been in and out of meetings all afternoon, but have been enjoying what i've heard! welcome back, hope you are feeling better, and btw -- great marathon shows!
	5:10pm P-90: Nice string pad entrance there.
	♥ 5:11pm Guido from Cologne: how great is Samantha Jones
	5:14pm P-90: Pretty great.
	♥ 5:15pm Guido from Cologne: perfect track to finish a northern soul comp (that's where i know this from)
	5:16pm P-90: Sue Lynne really popped!
	5:17pm Honeybear: My soul popped, hearing that track
	5:20pm TDK60: Aha, love a minor key song that ends in a major chord.
	♥ 5:22pm Mark the Sardine: Great set!
	5:25pm djsheilab: Man....it is so good to be back in this Studio A seat. And thank you @Mark the Sardine + to all of you for chiming in with all the love, insights + enthusiasm.
	5:27pm Bryan Chandler: Digging the sounds from WRUW-FM Over Here!
	5:28pm Cliff: A bit lascivious for 1946, huh
	5:28pm JakeGould: Oofff. I think there's some double entendre stuff happening here.
	5:29pm Honeybear: They were just as lascivious (or as SheilaB says, "depraved") in those years as we are now... just more artful about it.
	5:30pm sugarwolf: Hi!! Posting from the Hoboken train station. There are Girls Scouts selling cookies here!!!
	5:30pm P-90: "Soundies": they were the music videos of their day.
	5:31pm sugarwolf: I bought the Lush box set today!!
	5:32pm TDK60: Apparently there were "soundie" jukeboxes but they were very shortlived, late '40s like you say.
	♥ 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Soundies' - reminds me of that TV program Michael Feinstein had about music preservation : www.pbs.org...
	♥ 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dion said - 'I can't please everyone - I'm not a pizza!'
	5:35pm Evan From Seattle: I was living in England when this came out too. More than hearing the actual song was just random drunk people in the pub shouting "I WHIP MUH HURRR BACK AND FURTH!"
	5:36pm JakeGould: I'm fine with Willow.
	5:36pm P-90: They used to have these movie jukeboxes called "Panorams", you picked a song and the soundie played on a rear-projection screen. Sometimes also shown as short subjects in theaters.
	♥ 5:36pm tomasz.: i bootlegged this with an El-P beat when it came out, which i thought was pretty great, but Soundcloud evidently didn't, cuz they took it down
	5:37pm Julie: how the hell is Whip My Hair 6 years old??!!
	5:37pm Cliff: "It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it. That's what I look for in a reckihd."
	♥ 5:37pm tomasz.: oh yeah also i meant to say before, that Kittens track was ace
	5:38pm Swan_Gone: @Julie I know right. Seems like only yesterday
	♥ 5:39pm common: ah, the summer of 94. good times.
	5:40pm Julie: I have a LOT of albums from 1994..not sure what it was about that year, or maybe I was just shopping a lot
	5:41pm JakeGould: Career... Korea... Career... Korea... Career... Korea... Career... Korea...
	5:41pm sugarwolf: Wait this isn't Rita pavone!!!
	♥ 5:42pm Guido from Cologne: sugarwolf you say it i also know it from rita
	5:42pm JakeGould: @Julie: Didn't punk get broken in 1994 or so and labels threw money at tons of bands?
	5:44pm Eye_Eye: bloop :>
	5:46pm djsheilab: @Sugarwolf + @Guido Quite a giddy version right! I just discovered it myself. Love the Rita Pavone as well.
	5:52pm Honeybear: "Ann Lewis (アンルイス) is a Japanese pop-rock singer, born June 5, 1956 in Hyogo, Japan to a Japanese mother and an American father."
	5:53pm Cliff: Thanks Honeybear, I saw Roppongi and was wondering what the connection with Japan was
	5:55pm chalmers: Leather Tuscadero herself!
	5:55pm MONEYBAG$: This sounds like a song Clay Pigeon would play in a battle with Fabio
	5:55pm northguineahills: W00h00, made it back in time!
	5:56pm Carmichael: Trying to figure out the name of that screaming guitar player on the Ann Lewis stuff.
	5:56pm Honeybear: I would have been blown away if she was (strictly) Anglo-raised. That's why I had to check. But have there been any non-natively-raised vocalists that have attained some degree of pop success singing Japanese?
	5:56pm Honeybear: (Either way, I'm definitely a fan of hers, now).
	5:57pm P-90: McCartney's "Hi, Hi, Hi" might have influenced "Can the Can"
	5:57pm Dan from Toronto: Checking in. Rockin tunes!
	5:57pm Honeybear: Say hello to Allentown for us, Sheila!
	♥ 5:58pm Michael in Seattle: Thank you, Sheila B. You always give us the best musical gifts.
	5:58pm Cliff: Thank you Sheila <3 See you next week!
	♥ 5:58pm chris: thanks, sheilab!
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: That's enough boom-boom for one week. Have a good time in Allentown, Sheila. Thanks for the show.
	♥ 5:59pm Summer and Michael: We love you, Ms Boom-Boom!
	5:59pm Evan From Seattle: Thanks Sheila! Take care everyone!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks Sheila! xxxooo
	5:59pm Cliff: Oh, an abortion and masturbation show, sounds like fun
	♥ 6:01pm Michael in Seattle: more of the latter and there would be less of the former
	6:02pm nickrhombi: digging the can can synth vibe!
