	3:06pm Evan From Seattle: Finally getting a friend of mine to tune in for the first time thanks to Beverly being on. Great choice for your first in studio performers Sheila!
	♥ 3:06pm Adrian in London: Hi lovely Sheila and lovely SBBers. Verve were really great until they added the 'The' and went all Oasis-ey. Great way to start the show.
	3:06pm wild neil: peace Sheila et al.
	♥ 3:06pm listener james from westwood: Good afternoon, Sheila and all!!
	3:07pm drewo: Hi Sheila! My favorite Verve song; I dig the JD-like baseline. We have all of the sun here in AZ I'm afraid.
	3:07pm modchick65: I would ask Sheila B how she planned this song so well for NYC's weather today, but this is generally our weather anymore. I think London got our sunshine!

	♥ 3:35pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Beverly!
	3:36pm P-90: [Welcoming applause as band starts up]
	3:38pm HPB: Beverly shimmered at the record release show last night at Baby's All Right.
	3:43pm Snortley: Not surprisingly, Da Pen Chi, or De Pen Ti (Pinyin for 打噴嚏), means "Sneeze," according to Google.
	3:47pm Tommy Haynes: Loving it !!!!
	3:51pm Tommy Haynes: More , more , more !!!
	♥ 3:51pm listener james from westwood: Sweet stuff!
	3:52pm P-90: Bravo, Beverly!

	3:58pm Cliff: Thank you Beverly! Sheila, you sound so excited ;)
	4:00pm modchick65: I enjoyed the interview with the band, too. The questions were good.
	♥ 4:01pm listener james from westwood: Thanks mightily for Sheila's first live set, Beverly! And I'd definitely save the old photos, too! Predigital stuff is priceless!
	4:01pm HPB: Quality from Beverly. Love the new record and they sound great live too.
	♥ 4:02pm Adrian in London: I just watched the Big Star doc this week and can't believe they didn;t interview Lesa Aldredge, the whole reason Third/Sister Lovers was made. Then I found this piece by Michael Hahn in the Guardian, which is probably one pf the best things I've read about Third www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 4:04pm billk: Thanks for the Amps track! Haven't listened to this in forever.
	4:06pm BadGuyZero: I've been listening though I haven't been able to comment until now. Fantastic live set from Beverly! And the tunes you've been spinning? F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!
	4:07pm modchick65: Wow... I haven't heard Ivy in years. LOVED that band.
	4:08pm Evan From Seattle: IVY!
	♥ 4:13pm listener james from westwood: Teen! I've had one of their other tracks in my head for weeks, sort of a beneficial earworm.
	4:15pm miketp: Hand picking tasty Tunes Sheila. Sunny day just got bit sunnier. Super lemon haze adds. A good thing Portland features. Real easy going herb pantries. Enjoy listeners from all over!
	4:17pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers.
	♥ 4:18pm Adrian in London: @Listener James Bet it was All About Us?
	♥ 4:22pm listener james from westwood: @Adrian: it was indeed! Starred it when Sheila played it, then the AV Club spotlighted the album some weeks back and it fired me up again!
	♥ 4:24pm Adrian in London: @ListenerJames Yep, it's the best track on the album
	♥ 4:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian - What do you guys think of your new mayor?
	♥ 4:30pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, digging this Annie too. Eighties-rific!
	♥ 4:32pm Adrian in London: @Ken Well, I didn;t vote for him personally but I'm very glad it's him and not Zac, who ran a vile racist campaign, bolstered by the Evening Standard (London daily paper). I got to vote for who I wanted to and the one I wanted to win of the big two won. SO yes, I'm pretty happy. (I was holding this over for Trouble's show, which is more political on the comments board!)
	♥ 4:34pm JtotheK: @sheilaB -- speaking of Lynne Randell do you have her northern 45 'Stranger in My Arms'? I had the opportunity to purchase the pic sleeve for that, without the 45. I passed.
	♥ 4:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian - Sounds good. I don't want to hijack the Boom Boom Room. The Annie song was cool.
	4:36pm P-90: Liked the Isobel Campbell Bee Gees cover.
	♥ 4:36pm Adrian in London: @Ken Quite. Sent from our Muslim socialist paradise :-)
	4:38pm Evan From Seattle: oh yeah, congrats on the new mayor Adrian and The Contessa!
	4:38pm @sugarwolf@: love do the swim
	4:39pm mr.v: This sounds like Billy's idol if he was a girl...
	4:42pm modchick65: Eleanor!
	4:43pm The Contessa: Thanks @Evan!
	♥ 4:44pm Adrian in London: @Evan Thanks. Luckily everyone voted for him, leaving me to vote with my heart for the minority parties I connected with.
	4:48pm drewo: Grimes performance on the Fallon show the other night was good fun. Worth re-rolling the tape.
	4:55pm MONEYBAG$: I thought Elastica only borrowed from the first Wire album
	♥ 4:58pm JtotheK: Miss LaVell track -- thumbs up! (That Peggy March track earlier was also pretty great!)
	4:59pm modchick65: I thought the Brilliant Green was Letters To Cleo.
	♥ 5:01pm Michael 98145: DJ Sheila, you are NOT alone
	5:01pm Evan From Seattle: @DJSheilaB where do we write to you at?
	5:02pm MONEYBAG$: I like you MORE if you're a cat person
	5:03pm Cliff: Sheira-san kakkou ii, ne? Saikou!
	♥ 5:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: @MONEYBAG$ - If you're on the Tweeter, there is this: twitter.com...
	♥ 5:04pm Michael 98145: すごい
	♥ 5:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Drat...mixed up my messages. That should have been to Evan From Seattle. Sorry.
	5:06pm Listener Robert: Just keep looking at the Little Nell album cover & it'll feel like summer. Looks like her pool water is sudsy, a subject I'm familiar with -- users.bestweb.net... , which I also did in pools. But yeah, after that early nice weather, it's been depressingly bleak, and I haven't had interest in attending the Bronx Warriors (football club) spring training clinic for the kids as a result. Feeling better? It hasn't seemed to hurt your jockeying.
	5:06pm Evan From Seattle: Thanks Ken!
	5:07pm Cliff: 日本語をしゃべて楽しいよ。
	5:07pm Carmichael: He he ... I used to work with a guy who was involved with the Mindbenders. He told some great stories, and Wayne Fontana would reciprocate about him.
	5:08pm Cliff: 我輩は猫である。
	5:08pm modchick65: @SheilaB - I got an incredibly naughty song at the record fair. It's an LP of people having sex (including screams and frantically creaking bed springs, no joke) overtop of bongos. It's ridiculous (and a bit much to take after a while -- I think it's only 1 track per side). The cover was beautifully minimalist, with just the word "Erotica!" in a nice, mid-century font, on a pink background and it was only $5... so it was sufficiently bizarre to scoop up.
	5:09pm The Contessa: Pretty sure we've got a Wayne Fontana EP… checking…
	♥ 5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I knew you were all up to no good @ that Rekkid Fair...
	5:11pm The Contessa: Found it!
	♥ 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Rhythm & Blues & alkyhol & spendthrift behaviors...
	♥ 5:13pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Just chatting to a musician on Twitter who I keep meaning to send you tracks by and just found out is releasing a disco album later in the year. I'll get it to you as soon as she's sent me a track.
	♥ 5:14pm Adrian in London: Ooh this Big Sparks track is lovely!
	5:14pm drewo: Excellent SOTW!
	♥ 5:14pm Michael 98145: agreed
	5:15pm Monica: this is my jam.
	5:15pm @sugarwolf@: IT'S FREESTYLE TIME
	♥ 5:16pm listener james from westwood: Dug the SOTW and holy damn, this track takes me back!
	5:16pm JakeGould: Killing it, Shiela!
	5:17pm djsheilab: FREEEEESTYLE indeed! I was debating between this and Cynthia + Johnny O's "Dream Boy, Dream Girl."
	5:18pm djsheilab: Glad so many of you dug the Single of the Week :)
	5:19pm Monica: lisette was def jam's one legit attempt at latin freestyle.
	♥ 5:19pm listener james from westwood: This track was right there waiting for WKTU's relaunch as a dance station in, what, 1995 or so, and I recall it getting new life there.
	♥ 5:20pm JtotheK: Thanks for this Nina Simone! (Also on 45.)
	♥ 5:20pm Michael 98145: ... some of us guys have this as a theme song ...
	5:22pm Rob Kopp: One of Nina Simone's most beautiful songs is Turning point
	5:23pm Monica: yep, after hot 97 dumped freestyle in favor of hip-hop. freestyle never got the critical love but all those acts are still touring steadily and making money on their own oldies circuit and wktu,
	5:23pm djsheilab: @Monica Shame she really only scored with that one single.
	♥ 5:24pm Adrian in London: Hmm, this Cat's Eyes sounds nothing like Cat's Eyes, which is a bit strange.
	♥ 5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nina the Indisputable: Jazz Icon - Fierce African-American Advocate...& did so many outstanding covers of Rawk/Pop writer stuff...
	5:24pm djsheilab: Man I LOVED KTU when I used to drive around delivering furniture many years back.
	5:27pm drewo: This PSB cover is AOK
	5:28pm Swan_Gone: Loving this (Hi-NRG? Italo?) pop confection!
	5:28pm Swan_Gone: Oh Pet Shop Boys! That makes sense
	5:28pm Rob Kopp: Listening for the first time live from The Netherlands (usally the following day as it's rather late now). Just turned in and I see you've been playing one of my favourite singles: Big Star - September gurls. When Chilton died, Maura Kennedy had a fantastic tribute: Big star song (Work of art)
	5:31pm Monica: stevie v
	♥ 5:32pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, "Money Talks," I remember that from the day. And I would go FUCKING NUTS when that M.A.R.R.S track came on.
	♥ 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh ho! Nina's the original! I learns ! Perfect. So excellent.
	5:33pm modchick65: Patsy Kensit was married to Jim Kerr from Simple Minds (who used to be married to Chrissie Hynde). I read an interview with him (when they were still married) in which he was talking and laughing about his wife (Patsy) and Chrissie being friends and being in love with the guys from Oasis. The next thing I hear... Patsy is marrying Liam. Uh oh.
	5:34pm Cliff: Kurt Gottschalk used to play Phil Collins.....all of his hits, all at once
	5:35pm JakeGould: Say what you will, but "Turn it On Again" is a great song.
	5:36pm drewo: Loved Phil Collins! When he was singing "Eleventh Earl of Mar"...
	5:37pm JakeGould: No guilty pleasures! Just pleasures!
	5:37pm Cliff: Wait, you're not gonna play Phil Collins now after that story?!
	♥ 5:37pm listener james from westwood: Awesome road story! More Collins-loving cops, please!
	♥ 5:37pm melinda: @Jake: I agree. I'm also fond of Abacab.
	5:37pm Keith from Oregon: @JakeGould: I absolutely agree.
	♥ 5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Phil's great behind the drums...but he comes out from behind there to count his money...
	5:39pm Carmichael: And when he sits down at the piano, he loses money ...
	5:40pm Fred: and I'd pay alot of money not to hear him any more.. sorry Sheila the 80s were a dark time for me...
	5:40pm P-90: Let's hear it for giving irony a break. And for (early) Genesis-loving California Highway Patrolmen.
	♥ 5:40pm maestroso: Wonderful show SheilaB! Sorry I'm not able to comment more, most of it is drive time.
	5:40pm Carmichael: Ha ha! Hacking up the Seeds song.
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: fantastic Brasilian version of Pushing too hard
	♥ 5:42pm Michael 98145: sometimes Portuguese starts sounding like Russian to me
	♥ 5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I haz Theory about the Spanish influence on L.A. Rawk (like The Seeds) in the 1st place...
	5:42pm JakeGould: Logged in!
	♥ 5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Sky Saxon all into Buddy Holly - which has TexMex in it too...
	5:46pm The Contessa: Hey kids, we've just won the Lottery! :-) But hold on, £7.60 won't go far :-(
	5:47pm JakeGould: @TheContessa: But at least you won!
	5:48pm The Contessa: @JakeG exactly!
	♥ 5:49pm Sem Chumbo: Just a bitchin' bunch of sets, djsheila! Next door neighbour at the front door, asking us to turn it down. Not in this lifetime. Thx.
	5:49pm JakeGould: Like I sprained my ankle… But my positive thought? I didn’t break it! But sonofabitch!
	5:49pm Carmichael: Winner!
	5:51pm The Contessa: @JakeG Left or right? I tripped over this week and wrenched my ankle! Left!
	5:52pm djsheilab: Thanks @Sem Chumbo! Glad to be tormenting neighbors :)
	♥ 5:52pm listener james from westwood: Delightful show, Sheila, and your first live act went off like a dream!
	5:52pm The Contessa: Dreamy track @Sheila
	5:53pm JakeGould: @TheContessa: Right! Sorry for your left… :/
	5:55pm The Contessa: Arnica saved me @JakeG carry it with me cos the streets of London are badly paved. Sorry for your right!
	5:55pm Linda Lee: amazing show today SheilaB! of course!!
	5:56pm djsheilab: Thank you all you lovely people! Most chuffed that all went smoothly with Beverly.
	5:58pm The Contessa: God! It's the end! Thanks Sheila x x x

	3:38pm HPB: Beverly shimmered at the record release show last night at Baby's All Right.
	3:43pm Snortley: Not surprisingly, Da Pen Chi, or De Pen Ti (Pinyin for 打噴嚏), means "Sneeze," according to Google.
	3:47pm Tommy Haynes: Loving it !!!!
	3:51pm Tommy Haynes: More , more , more !!!
	♥ 3:51pm listener james from westwood: Sweet stuff!
	3:52pm P-90: Bravo, Beverly!
	3:53pm modchick65: I enjoyed the set, Beverly. Thank you for playing for us!
	3:58pm Cliff: Thank you Beverly! Sheila, you sound so excited ;)
	4:00pm modchick65: I enjoyed the interview with the band, too. The questions were good.
	♥ 4:01pm listener james from westwood: Thanks mightily for Sheila's first live set, Beverly! And I'd definitely save the old photos, too! Predigital stuff is priceless!
	4:01pm HPB: Quality from Beverly. Love the new record and they sound great live too.
	♥ 4:02pm Adrian in London: I just watched the Big Star doc this week and can't believe they didn;t interview Lesa Aldredge, the whole reason Third/Sister Lovers was made. Then I found this piece by Michael Hahn in the Guardian, which is probably one pf the best things I've read about Third www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 4:04pm billk: Thanks for the Amps track! Haven't listened to this in forever.
	4:06pm BadGuyZero: I've been listening though I haven't been able to comment until now. Fantastic live set from Beverly! And the tunes you've been spinning? F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!
	4:07pm modchick65: Wow... I haven't heard Ivy in years. LOVED that band.
	4:08pm Evan From Seattle: IVY!
	♥ 4:13pm listener james from westwood: Teen! I've had one of their other tracks in my head for weeks, sort of a beneficial earworm.
	4:15pm miketp: Hand picking tasty Tunes Sheila. Sunny day just got bit sunnier. Super lemon haze adds. A good thing Portland features. Real easy going herb pantries. Enjoy listeners from all over!
	4:17pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers.
	♥ 4:18pm Adrian in London: @Listener James Bet it was All About Us?
	♥ 4:22pm listener james from westwood: @Adrian: it was indeed! Starred it when Sheila played it, then the AV Club spotlighted the album some weeks back and it fired me up again!
	♥ 4:24pm Adrian in London: @ListenerJames Yep, it's the best track on the album
	♥ 4:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian - What do you guys think of your new mayor?
	♥ 4:30pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, digging this Annie too. Eighties-rific!
	♥ 4:32pm Adrian in London: @Ken Well, I didn;t vote for him personally but I'm very glad it's him and not Zac, who ran a vile racist campaign, bolstered by the Evening Standard (London daily paper). I got to vote for who I wanted to and the one I wanted to win of the big two won. SO yes, I'm pretty happy. (I was holding this over for Trouble's show, which is more political on the comments board!)
	♥ 4:34pm JtotheK: @sheilaB -- speaking of Lynne Randell do you have her northern 45 'Stranger in My Arms'? I had the opportunity to purchase the pic sleeve for that, without the 45. I passed.
	♥ 4:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian - Sounds good. I don't want to hijack the Boom Boom Room. The Annie song was cool.
	4:36pm P-90: Liked the Isobel Campbell Bee Gees cover.
	♥ 4:36pm Adrian in London: @Ken Quite. Sent from our Muslim socialist paradise :-)
	4:38pm Evan From Seattle: oh yeah, congrats on the new mayor Adrian and The Contessa!
	4:38pm @sugarwolf@: love do the swim
	4:39pm mr.v: This sounds like Billy's idol if he was a girl...
	4:42pm modchick65: Eleanor!
	4:43pm The Contessa: Thanks @Evan!
	♥ 4:44pm Adrian in London: @Evan Thanks. Luckily everyone voted for him, leaving me to vote with my heart for the minority parties I connected with.
	4:48pm drewo: Grimes performance on the Fallon show the other night was good fun. Worth re-rolling the tape.
	4:55pm MONEYBAG$: I thought Elastica only borrowed from the first Wire album
	♥ 4:58pm JtotheK: Miss LaVell track -- thumbs up! (That Peggy March track earlier was also pretty great!)
	4:59pm modchick65: I thought the Brilliant Green was Letters To Cleo.
	♥ 5:01pm Michael 98145: DJ Sheila, you are NOT alone
	5:01pm Evan From Seattle: @DJSheilaB where do we write to you at?
	5:02pm MONEYBAG$: I like you MORE if you're a cat person
	5:03pm Cliff: Sheira-san kakkou ii, ne? Saikou!
	♥ 5:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: @MONEYBAG$ - If you're on the Tweeter, there is this: twitter.com...
	♥ 5:04pm Michael 98145: すごい
	♥ 5:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Drat...mixed up my messages. That should have been to Evan From Seattle. Sorry.
	5:06pm Listener Robert: Just keep looking at the Little Nell album cover & it'll feel like summer. Looks like her pool water is sudsy, a subject I'm familiar with -- users.bestweb.net... , which I also did in pools. But yeah, after that early nice weather, it's been depressingly bleak, and I haven't had interest in attending the Bronx Warriors (football club) spring training clinic for the kids as a result. Feeling better? It hasn't seemed to hurt your jockeying.
	5:06pm Evan From Seattle: Thanks Ken!
	5:07pm Cliff: 日本語をしゃべて楽しいよ。
	5:07pm Carmichael: He he ... I used to work with a guy who was involved with the Mindbenders. He told some great stories, and Wayne Fontana would reciprocate about him.
	5:08pm Cliff: 我輩は猫である。
	5:08pm modchick65: @SheilaB - I got an incredibly naughty song at the record fair. It's an LP of people having sex (including screams and frantically creaking bed springs, no joke) overtop of bongos. It's ridiculous (and a bit much to take after a while -- I think it's only 1 track per side). The cover was beautifully minimalist, with just the word "Erotica!" in a nice, mid-century font, on a pink background and it was only $5... so it was sufficiently bizarre to scoop up.
	5:09pm The Contessa: Pretty sure we've got a Wayne Fontana EP… checking…
	♥ 5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I knew you were all up to no good @ that Rekkid Fair...
	5:11pm The Contessa: Found it!
	♥ 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Rhythm & Blues & alkyhol & spendthrift behaviors...
	♥ 5:13pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Just chatting to a musician on Twitter who I keep meaning to send you tracks by and just found out is releasing a disco album later in the year. I'll get it to you as soon as she's sent me a track.
	♥ 5:14pm Adrian in London: Ooh this Big Sparks track is lovely!
	5:14pm drewo: Excellent SOTW!
	♥ 5:14pm Michael 98145: agreed
	5:15pm Monica: this is my jam.
	5:15pm @sugarwolf@: IT'S FREESTYLE TIME
	♥ 5:16pm listener james from westwood: Dug the SOTW and holy damn, this track takes me back!
	5:16pm JakeGould: Killing it, Shiela!
	5:17pm djsheilab: FREEEEESTYLE indeed! I was debating between this and Cynthia + Johnny O's "Dream Boy, Dream Girl."
	5:18pm djsheilab: Glad so many of you dug the Single of the Week :)
	5:19pm Monica: lisette was def jam's one legit attempt at latin freestyle.
	♥ 5:19pm listener james from westwood: This track was right there waiting for WKTU's relaunch as a dance station in, what, 1995 or so, and I recall it getting new life there.
	♥ 5:20pm JtotheK: Thanks for this Nina Simone! (Also on 45.)
	♥ 5:20pm Michael 98145: ... some of us guys have this as a theme song ...
	5:22pm Rob Kopp: One of Nina Simone's most beautiful songs is Turning point
	5:23pm Monica: yep, after hot 97 dumped freestyle in favor of hip-hop. freestyle never got the critical love but all those acts are still touring steadily and making money on their own oldies circuit and wktu,
	5:23pm djsheilab: @Monica Shame she really only scored with that one single.
	♥ 5:24pm Adrian in London: Hmm, this Cat's Eyes sounds nothing like Cat's Eyes, which is a bit strange.
	♥ 5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nina the Indisputable: Jazz Icon - Fierce African-American Advocate...& did so many outstanding covers of Rawk/Pop writer stuff...
	5:24pm djsheilab: Man I LOVED KTU when I used to drive around delivering furniture many years back.
	5:27pm drewo: This PSB cover is AOK
	5:28pm Swan_Gone: Loving this (Hi-NRG? Italo?) pop confection!
	5:28pm Swan_Gone: Oh Pet Shop Boys! That makes sense
	5:28pm Rob Kopp: Listening for the first time live from The Netherlands (usally the following day as it's rather late now). Just turned in and I see you've been playing one of my favourite singles: Big Star - September gurls. When Chilton died, Maura Kennedy had a fantastic tribute: Big star song (Work of art)
	5:31pm Monica: stevie v
	♥ 5:32pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, "Money Talks," I remember that from the day. And I would go FUCKING NUTS when that M.A.R.R.S track came on.
	♥ 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh ho! Nina's the original! I learns ! Perfect. So excellent.
	5:33pm modchick65: Patsy Kensit was married to Jim Kerr from Simple Minds (who used to be married to Chrissie Hynde). I read an interview with him (when they were still married) in which he was talking and laughing about his wife (Patsy) and Chrissie being friends and being in love with the guys from Oasis. The next thing I hear... Patsy is marrying Liam. Uh oh.
	5:34pm Cliff: Kurt Gottschalk used to play Phil Collins.....all of his hits, all at once
	5:35pm JakeGould: Say what you will, but "Turn it On Again" is a great song.
	5:36pm drewo: Loved Phil Collins! When he was singing "Eleventh Earl of Mar"...
	5:37pm JakeGould: No guilty pleasures! Just pleasures!
	5:37pm Cliff: Wait, you're not gonna play Phil Collins now after that story?!
	♥ 5:37pm listener james from westwood: Awesome road story! More Collins-loving cops, please!
	♥ 5:37pm melinda: @Jake: I agree. I'm also fond of Abacab.
	5:37pm Keith from Oregon: @JakeGould: I absolutely agree.
	♥ 5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Phil's great behind the drums...but he comes out from behind there to count his money...
	5:39pm Carmichael: And when he sits down at the piano, he loses money ...
	5:40pm Fred: and I'd pay alot of money not to hear him any more.. sorry Sheila the 80s were a dark time for me...
	5:40pm P-90: Let's hear it for giving irony a break. And for (early) Genesis-loving California Highway Patrolmen.
	♥ 5:40pm maestroso: Wonderful show SheilaB! Sorry I'm not able to comment more, most of it is drive time.
	5:40pm Carmichael: Ha ha! Hacking up the Seeds song.
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: fantastic Brasilian version of Pushing too hard
	♥ 5:42pm Michael 98145: sometimes Portuguese starts sounding like Russian to me
	♥ 5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I haz Theory about the Spanish influence on L.A. Rawk (like The Seeds) in the 1st place...
	5:42pm JakeGould: Logged in!
	♥ 5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Sky Saxon all into Buddy Holly - which has TexMex in it too...
	5:46pm The Contessa: Hey kids, we've just won the Lottery! :-) But hold on, £7.60 won't go far :-(
	5:47pm JakeGould: @TheContessa: But at least you won!
	5:48pm The Contessa: @JakeG exactly!
	♥ 5:49pm Sem Chumbo: Just a bitchin' bunch of sets, djsheila! Next door neighbour at the front door, asking us to turn it down. Not in this lifetime. Thx.
	5:49pm JakeGould: Like I sprained my ankle… But my positive thought? I didn’t break it! But sonofabitch!
	5:49pm Carmichael: Winner!
	5:51pm The Contessa: @JakeG Left or right? I tripped over this week and wrenched my ankle! Left!
	5:52pm djsheilab: Thanks @Sem Chumbo! Glad to be tormenting neighbors :)
	♥ 5:52pm listener james from westwood: Delightful show, Sheila, and your first live act went off like a dream!
	5:52pm The Contessa: Dreamy track @Sheila
	5:53pm JakeGould: @TheContessa: Right! Sorry for your left… :/
	5:55pm The Contessa: Arnica saved me @JakeG carry it with me cos the streets of London are badly paved. Sorry for your right!
