WFMU: Sophisticated Boom Boom with Sheila B.: Playlist from July 29, 2016

Listener comments!
	3:03pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and skiers.
	3:03pm Cecile: Sheila B, I have to know how Alan Parsons was! I missed last week.
	3:03pm JP from KC: Hola, Sheila B!
	3:03pm listener james from westwood: I thought this sounded Bond-y! Howdy Sheila and all!!
	3:03pm Cecile: Speaking of that... hi Carm!
	3:04pm JtotheK: hi sheilaB, hi boom-boomers.
	3:05pm The Contessa: Hello Sheila, hello everyone, happy Friday. This track is SO good!
	3:05pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila
	3:05pm Michael 98145: "Do you know how Christmas trees are grown?" うれしい DJ Sheila in the house
	3:07pm j-biz: Ahhh, my favorite part of the week is here once more.
	3:07pm Carmichael: Hey Cecile! I told PJ to be on the lookout for Sheila, but I wasn't sure how I could describe her. Sheila, I was hoping your personality would cause you to be recognized ...
	3:07pm djsheilab: Hello my favorite people! Isn't it grand @The Contessa?! This really should be my single of the week, but it came so perfectly after the John Barry song.
	3:08pm Rob Kopp: Hi everyone. Working on my next book PLATENBOEK 4 is soooo relaxed when listening to this radio programme.
	3:09pm P-90: Greetings Sheila! I always loved Ski Chase! Classic John Barry, very 60's-nostalgic.
	3:09pm The Contessa: Who else knows Earl Okin, without the Roger?
	3:09pm alan from sacto: Hi, glad to be boom booming today
	3:10pm Linda Lee: wow ~ extra special show today! love it.
	3:10pm Adrian in London: Good evening Sheila, good evening everyone. Pygmalion is such a great record. By far the best Slowdive LP. I think I read recently how much Alan McGee regrets dumping them and admits what a great record this is. INTERRUPTS SELF Jenny HVAL!!!
	3:11pm djsheilab: @Linda Lee This show does feel very special. I found SO many exciting records!
	3:12pm Rob Kopp: Nice title of your show. Reminds me of I never met a girl like you before (KInks).
	3:12pm Michael 98145: you have a happy audience as always
	3:12pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London Haha! Great post! Yup brand new Jenny Hval. And that Slowdive LP is a beauty, though I have a soft spot for Just For A Day.
	3:12pm P-90: It does feel like an extra-special show, right from the top!
	3:14pm JakeGould: Wow! Still experimenting with opening tracks? Quite an epic choice this week!
	3:15pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and boom boomers. Raining here but Sophisticated Boom Boom is my rainbow.
	3:15pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Yes, Just for a Day is lovely too. I found myself listening to the first Ride LP a lot this week and loving Polar Bear. I saw them a lot when they started out.
	3:16pm JakeGould: Hey Cooh John! Bring that sweat rain to disgusting NYC.
	3:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: sweat rain = Ewwww! Also: Hello, everyone!
	3:19pm JakeGould: Ack! I wrote “sweat rain!” DAMN!!!!
	3:20pm djsheilab: @JakeGould Sweat rain....sexy!
	3:21pm Michael 98145: Freudian slippage
	3:22pm JtotheK: nice peggy march - just procured this 45 a few weeks ago myself!
	3:22pm JakeGould: The one thing I like about this heat is in NYC is you can pretty much just turn to anyone on the subway in NYC and just say, “This heat’s nuts!” and they will agree.
	3:22pm The Contessa: This is dreamy to my ears
	3:25pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Sweet! I think it may be my favorite of her's.
	3:25pm djsheilab: She's as heavy as a Chevy! BEST LYRIC EVER.
	3:25pm The Contessa: Hello @Ken, anything happening we should know about? The weather… birds?
	3:27pm Cecile: sweat rain is what Saturday was here. The clouds sweated. For seven hours
	3:27pm Cooh John: I will be misled!
	3:27pm nightjeans: this tune makes me me nostalgic for the era of aerobics videos
	3:28pm Cecile: is that Peggy March the "little Peggy March"?
	3:28pm Rob Kopp: my favorite Peggy March song is Too long away where she's accompanied by Dutch band The Hunters featuring a young Jan Akkerman
	3:28pm Bend Sinister: Really like her German language schlager 'Mit 17 Hat Man Noch Träume'
	3:28pm Cooh John: huffing and puffing the rain your way, JakeGould.
	3:29pm JakeGould: Corn sweat rain.
	3:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Contessa - Hi there. It's been hot here lately and most birds seem to lie low during the day. It's fun to lie back and watch hawks and vultures circling up in the sky.
	3:31pm Whooda: Always enjoy happy magic DJ Sophisticated Boom Boom Shelia. Thanks.
	3:31pm nightjeans: also the Cosby sweater on that dude on the right from the Kool & the Gang cover!!!
	3:32pm The Contessa: @Ken, hawks and vultures! We can offer swifts and jays!
	3:33pm Adrian in London: Jonathan Richman is a great lyricist. In Walter Johnson: "When the Washington Niners were gonna win/Walter Johnson eased up on the opposi-shin/("Yeah, that's right)"!
	3:33pm Linda Lee: hot stuff lyrics? all of Brick House baby!
	3:34pm Cheri Pi: She's massive! did you have glow sticks?
	3:34pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Ah, she played Koko in Camden the other week. I know Glass went to see her.
	3:36pm Linda Lee: Jake ~ someone might just say 'heats? boils more like it'
	3:37pm JakeGould: The thing about this weather in NYC right now is all the pizza crusts feel soggy and all the food from food trucks feel sweaty. I’m just going to eat savory ice cream for the next few weeks.
	3:37pm JtotheK: @sheilaB - per our discussion last week, at area shop I did not find a bronzettes 'hot spot' on parkway. and i learned that i missed out on vickie baines 'country girl' on parkway, and probably passed it in bins without realizing. ugh. i'm convincing myself it would've been out of my budget.
	3:39pm JtotheK: but i /did/ find a Neil Sedaka "Too Late" 45 (for 50 cents!) which was quite rewarding.
	3:39pm Joanne Stato: Boom Boom everybody! Got here late, just in time to hear Sheila's upbeat recap of set 1! So good to be here! (Love this Fashion Monster.)
	3:40pm Adrian in London: @SHeila Listening to this set, and knowing how giddy you get, it's barely credible to recall you started your WFMU tenure by playing three weeks of despairingly desolate sad music. However did you cope?!
	3:42pm statoj: Weird. It signed me in as Joanne Stato" but I am really "statoj"!!!
	3:44pm statoj: Yes! I remember the "Sad sheilab." All sheilabs are wonderful. Different faces of the same prism. It perhaps I should say "diamond."
	3:45pm Cooh John: looking forward to your next Friedman slip JG.
	3:45pm Cecile: I missed your update, Carm. Thank you!
	3:46pm Cecile: Cybill is an A-OK singer!
	3:46pm JakeGould: HAAHHAH! Friedman slip!
	3:47pm JakeGould: What’s the “Friedman Slip?” a hand written number you get from the guy at the counter at the deli?
	3:47pm Linda Lee: hahahah!
	3:48pm Linda Lee: this pussycats record is sublime.
	3:49pm statoj: I like the way she says "bay-bee."
	3:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if this is before or after Josie was their leader.
	3:51pm Linda Lee: apropos of nothin, but i've been listening to fmu for 30 years now & i've never heard 'poor side of town' by johnny rivers.
	3:52pm JakeGould: Now I want to sail into Walker’s Cay. Do they serve savory ice cream?
	3:53pm statoj: Linda Lee, would that be a request? Great song.
	3:53pm Linda Lee: i'd be totally thrilled. i've loved that damn record since it was new :-D
	3:55pm djsheilab: @Linda Lee I don't know that record. Must check it out.
	3:55pm Cecile: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
	3:55pm Cecile: You'll love it, sheila
	3:55pm Linda Lee: it's pop magic, sheila b. :-)
	3:55pm statoj: I have only been a devotee for 1 year (better late than never) but I would love to hear Maria Muldaur (nee D'Amato) sing 'Cause I'm a Woman...W-O-M-A-N.
	3:55pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Congrats on picking up that FAB Neil Sedaka 45 for so cheap!
	3:56pm djsheilab: @Cecile @Linda Lee Sounds right up my alley!
	3:56pm Cecile: wait, this song is filthier than I remembered.
	3:57pm βrian: Today, the playlist background is 'chilled buttermilk borscht.' Made with the freshest of beets, it's quite tasty.
	3:57pm Linda Lee: Johnny Rivers did 'Secret Agent Man' originally. 'Poor Side' concerns a woman shamed.
	3:58pm Cecile: it's melodramatic, and Johnny is a great singer
	4:00pm Cecile: yeah, someone's sailing into her cay. OH NO!
	4:01pm βrian: Good pop is Sprecher's Root Beer, for example.
	4:02pm Cecile: she has actually sung cabaret for a long time. I think the title is there because she didn't get good reviews for the movie At Long Last Love.
	4:02pm JakeGould: Hey! I actually like that “Cybill Getz Better” title!
	4:02pm Cecile: we agree on something, Jake.
	4:02pm famous original italianicewolf: I have a Cybill Shepard record, I guess it's that one!
	4:02pm P-90: Cybil also sang quite nicely in the musical film "At Long Last Love."
	4:03pm famous original italianicewolf: I want to say I bought it at Footlights RIP
	4:04pm JtotheK: yeah, that Sedaka 45 is great! glad to have found it. (speaking of pop 45s...) now i need to find Paul Anka "I Can't Help Loving You" on RCA -- have had it (and that Sedaka) before, but realize both should be filed permanently...
	4:04pm JakeGould: @ItalianIceWolf: First, nice nick today! Also, yeah… Footlights… I miss them too.
	4:05pm JtotheK: and also on the 'pop' discussion - there's a book about northern soul records, and they are broken down into a few sub-categories, one of which is 'pop' - and i enjoy trying to track the 'pop' northern 45s down... good stuff! (another good one is Trade Martin 'Work Song' on RCA)
	4:06pm Cecile: OG booty call
	4:06pm Cecile: P-90, I heard it's a fun movie, but critics just trashed it.
	4:06pm Linda Lee: yep. pretty hot
	4:07pm dfb: it hits the right sonic regions
	4:08pm Cecile: He wants to give her classy sailing lessons.
	4:08pm Linda Lee: lol Cecile!
	4:09pm JakeGould: Oh wow, this deep, bassy Japanese lady’s vocals.
	4:09pm Linda Lee: yep. pretty hot
	4:11pm djsheilab: @JakeGould Intense, right? This also needs to be heard at midnight in a smokey, basement jazz bar with red lighting.
	4:13pm Cecile: and life jackets. Always observe water safety precautions when "sailing"
	4:13pm peter in seattle: West Coast Friday just got better! <3 SBB!
	4:13pm JakeGould: Yes! But be careful with red lit bars: Everyone looks better than they are and red pistachio gunk gets all over the place.
	4:14pm Linda Lee: Martha & the Vandellas were the tits. (that's a young person's expression i just learned.)
	4:14pm Cecile: oh, it's been around a long, long time Linda. Just not in the nicer company.
	4:15pm Linda Lee: that's what it's like living in the woods a mile from anywhere, Cecile :-)
	4:16pm Cecile: that's OK, I keep discovering things I have no idea about, and I live 2 miles from a city.
	4:16pm JtotheK: cool martha and vandellas 45. (which reminds me, that i have yet to find their 'In My Lonely Room' 45.) - enjoying the show as always sheilaB, i'll be tuned in via app for the rest. cheers everyone.
	4:16pm Cecile: and they are the tits.
	4:17pm Linda Lee: ain't life grand that way? it's the tits!
	4:17pm djsheilab: Tits all round!
	4:18pm Linda Lee: that's why we love SBB :-)
	4:18pm statoj: Lori McKenna is awesome.
	4:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: Loved the Carla Thomas earlier!
	4:18pm listener james from westwood: Recalling Ian "Deadwood" McShane's description of "Game of Thrones": "It's just tits and dragons!"
	4:19pm Cecile: That sounds like the app Game of War, too. hahahha
	4:19pm Linda Lee: hahaha!
	4:19pm Adrian in London: @James Surely you mean Ian 'Lovejoy' McShane? ;-)
	4:20pm famous original italianicewolf: I actually bought some records today! I got Cher, Diana Ross, and Loleatta Hollaway, all in the dollar bin. This store was also selling used cassette tapes for 1.99
	4:20pm JakeGould: Kind of funny “tits” came up since someone was ragging on “Doo Rag” on Bryce’s list and that reminded me of Bob Log III and his minor indie hit, “Clap Your Tits.” I’m not advocating, I’m just saying…
	4:20pm Goats Head Stew: Hey Sheila, great set! Great to hear you on the radio. Love, Mariko and Stuart, London.
	4:21pm djsheilab: @famous original italianicewolf Nice!
	4:21pm Cecile: my friend got a cheesy photo of McShane during his Lovejoy days and posted it prominently when Deadwood came around. which Loleatta?
	4:21pm statoj: Lovejoy indeed!
	4:21pm listener james from westwood: @Adrian: I first met McShane via "Lovejoy" reruns, so when I eventually dug into "Deadwood," it was a huge contrast!
	4:22pm famous original italianicewolf: I liked his guest appearances on Magnum P.I.
	4:22pm Cecile: actually, that song wasn't on Rumours. It's a b-side that somehow took on a life of its own. I'm a little bit of a stickler for that, having experienced the original at the time.
	4:22pm Cecile: it's a track from the Rumours period.
	4:23pm djsheilab: @Cecile It's on the reissue of Rumours. I'm playing the reissue.
	4:24pm Cecile: that's fine. I'm splitting hairs.
	4:24pm statoj: Yes this Silver Springs sounds more live than the rumours version.
	4:25pm Cecile: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:25pm Linda Lee: what a funny mix on this Tutti Hil single. it's like someone whispering in your ear in the bedroom with the radio on in the kitchen.
	4:25pm JakeGould: @Cecile: Whatever that Fleetwood Mac song was and wherever it came from it was a nice song. There, I said it.
	4:26pm Cecile: it was a nice song. We're agreeing again. This troubles me.
	4:26pm Adrian in London: @James Best Amazon Deadwood review: 1-star "Not for fans of Lovejoy"!!
	4:26pm djsheilab: Stop getting along everyone!
	4:27pm Cecile: You can sing the lyrics to "New Attitude" to this.
	4:28pm chris: whiskey or vodka drinks? lets get fightin'!
	4:28pm el BO-Bo: This is sooooooo Eighties. I LOVE IT!!!!!
	4:28pm flashbazbo: Yeah they pulled it off rumors against her wishes and reduced her contr to a couple tunes. Tough group
	4:29pm JakeGould: @chris: Give me some beer and a savoy ice cream—like french fries and gravy flavored—and it’s on you nice person!
	4:30pm Cecile: Yeah, that album hangs together so well, but there was so much conflict behind it.
	4:30pm TehBadDr: Love me some synth pop, hi Sheila B!
	4:31pm statoj: Impressive hairdo. Is that guy the singer?
	4:32pm chris: damn, now i'm thirsty and hungry, Jake. you win.
	4:33pm Cecile: no, but it did good in the UK and Ireland.
	4:33pm el BO-Bo: Yup. I used to dance to this at international parties at PENN. Awe some. Feel it Sheila!!
	4:33pm Linda Lee: i don't remember it. & i was there then.
	4:33pm JakeGould: “Songs for Waiting in Line at a Food Truck”
	4:34pm Cecile: I don't disagree with you, Sheila.
	4:34pm Linda Lee: 'Songs for Conversations About Heated Nuts On The Subway'
	4:34pm Brian in UK: Hello djsheilab. So chuffed to see that you played Taj Mahal's great album.
	4:36pm Leonardo: Mario's is real. Kelly St. NW5
	4:37pm Michael 98145: more steamy !!
	4:37pm JakeGould: Here’s a link to what Sheila B. is talking about. To be a nit-picker, he is holding a bowl of cremini mushrooms which are savory and not psychedelic. www.cherrylanetheatre.org...
	4:38pm Cecile: I think many records were made on mushrooms.
	4:38pm TehBadDr: Wow I missed a Cybill Shepard tune? Didn't know she sang.
	4:39pm will: You could play a song by the band called the magic mushrooms. They were on nuggets among other comps
	4:39pm Brian in UK: Here is a review of this little gem. www.independent.co.uk...
	4:39pm Cecile: yep, she sang the theme to her TV show.
	4:39pm βrian: Funny, I was just reading about mycorrhizal fungus yesterday.
	4:39pm Rocco: Does Whitchi Tai To by Jim Pepper count?
	4:39pm JakeGould: Someone I once knew ran a label named “Funky Mushroom” but that’s another story.
	4:40pm TehBadDr: Moonlighting, that takes me back, makes me feel old!
	4:40pm Linda Lee: anything by Red Crayola might work.
	4:40pm Brian in UK: Funky Porcini anyone?
	4:40pm Cecile: Julian Cope
	4:41pm TehBadDr: Well there's Infected Mushroom if you wanna go Psy.
	4:41pm djsheilab: www.themushroom.cure.com
	4:41pm Rob Kopp: Mushroom machine by Bobby Arlin on Tab! vol. 1 Rainy day mushroom pillow by Strawberry Alarm Clock on Psych-Out
	4:41pm Cecile: Oh, it's Sophia Grace and Rosie!
	4:41pm βrian: I just scored a pound of dried porcini, actually. No lie. I expect they'll last a while.
	4:41pm j-biz: I saw that show a year or so ago when he was "testing" it out at a comedy club uptown. It was really fascinating.
	4:41pm steve: nice! these kids are the future
	4:42pm aw: Dude
	4:42pm Linda Lee: there you go, Rob
	4:42pm djsheilab: @J-biz I saw that "test" one too at some really odd theatre in the 30s.
	4:42pm TehBadDr: Scored Porcini's? Was the count good?
	4:43pm Michael 98145: i think you meant this, DJ Sheila: themushroomcure.com
	4:43pm βrian: So Sheila, no comma after "Eat" in the band's name? Poor Grandma, if not!
	4:43pm Cecile: there isn't! hahahaha. "Grammar saves lives!"
	4:43pm Michael 98145: punctuation is important
	4:44pm djsheilab: Oops! All those mushrooms @Michael 98145. Thanks!
	4:44pm el BO-Bo: This song is wunder full It has grown on me and I love it. Im getting the cd when it comes out. Txs SB
	4:44pm Rob Kopp: Mariska!
	4:44pm Matt in Hillsborough: I JUST LISTENED TO THIS SONG TWO DAYS AGO, I'M LOVIN' IT
	4:45pm P-90: Shiitake: not psychedelic, but very healthy. Cute song, too.
	4:46pm Linda Lee: i love Shocking Blue!
	4:46pm JakeGould: I love that Shocking Blue sleeve design.
	4:46pm Adrian in London: @Sheila This is great! Is the Harley Davidson on the B-side the Serge song?
	4:46pm Cecile: The Shocking Blue are shockingly great.
	4:47pm statoj: Send me a postcard has a Jefferson airplane vibe, and the guy on the lower right looks like Mary Balin.
	4:47pm Linda Lee: love where this is going ...
	4:48pm Michael 98145: This is all the stuff that never got played on the air when it was fresh
	4:48pm statoj: Shocking Blue- didn't they have that "I'm your Venus" hit in 1969 or 70?
	4:48pm awereefws: CaAmaze Happy birthday to te one of my favorite people in the world
	4:48pm Linda Lee: Shocking Blue had a hit single tho ..
	4:49pm Linda Lee: touche' !
	4:49pm el BO-Bo: Txs for that Brian in the UK. Great review. I wish more bands wrote what they dont hear like these girls.
	4:50pm Rob Kopp: It must be the Swedish sleeve (Olga). The Dutch single was released on Pink Elephant. It was their first hit in NL in '68 and was played a lot on the radio.
	4:50pm Gaylord Fields: Dolly Mixture always compels me to de-lurk!
	4:50pm Carmichael: Shocking Blue was from Iceland or Denmark or Sweden or somewhere.
	4:51pm Cecile: the Netherlands
	4:52pm Michael 98145: "your eyebrows may be the best thing in town ..."
	4:52pm TehBadDr: This is great!
	4:52pm Linda Lee: i'm thinkin Jane Birkin or Baby Jane Holzer ..
	4:52pm statoj: Okay, sheilab, Dolly Mixture's lyrics are singular. (The part about "your eyebrows..."
	4:53pm Rob Kopp: @Statoj: The guy on the lower right is Robbie van Leeuwen, who wrote all their songs. Before Shocking Blue he wrote even better songs while he was in The Motions
	4:53pm statoj: Yeah! What Michael said!
	4:53pm djsheilab: @Statoj Yes! All about those eyebrows lyrics.
	4:53pm JasonInBoston: YEAH! House of Bamboo!
	4:54pm Michael 98145: i'm gonna go watch some girls
	4:54pm statoj: Rob, Cool!
	4:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bamboo is one of those words that's just funny to say.
	4:55pm statoj: Ken, Totally. I am practicing right now.
	4:56pm Dean: Rhymes internally with "clambake," which is also fun to say.
	4:56pm Cecile: I only know this from Dusty Springfield!
	4:56pm JasonInBoston: OOOH NICE! Is this the flip side to "She Don't Deserve You"?
	4:56pm Linda Lee: gorgeous record.
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: Didn't know this Cookies version, only Dusty Spingfield's
	4:57pm statoj: Dean, Bamboo/clambake? What kind of accent do you sport?
	4:58pm Dean: And "hambone." My accent is herbes de Provence and a dash of salt.
	4:59pm JakeGould: You know what word is ridiculous if you think about it: Nestled.
	4:59pm Cecile: How is it ridiculous?
	5:00pm statoj: This is reminding me of when Harriet Vane told Lord Peter Wimsy she would only marry him for the pleasure of "hearing him talk piffle."
	5:00pm JakeGould: @Cecile: This is why we are acquaintances and not friends. You probably think “toothy” is an acceptable word.
	5:00pm Dean: @JakeGould: For some reason your comment reminds me of a joke Jonathan Richman told at a concert at either the Roxy or McCabe's guitar store. (The word "ridiculous" conjured it.) Q: Who's the most miserable couple on the planet? A: Mr. and Mrs. Erable.
	5:00pm Adrian in London: I've just been reading on Twitter about how Jimmy Osmond is doing an Andy Williams tribute show and how JO is the nicest man in the whole world, from someone who interviewed him.
	5:02pm statoj: I think Andy Williams was the most underestimated folkie in disguise as a cool hipster.
	5:03pm JakeGould: Hippies.
	5:03pm Linda Lee: cool hipster? Andy Williams?
	5:06pm Cecile: I have no opinion whatsoever on the word "toothy".
	5:06pm Carmichael: Andy Williams was a more radical version of Perry Como, but that's about as far as it goes.
	5:07pm JakeGould: Oh snap! Happy you landed safely.
	5:07pm Cecile: I don't like Jonathan Richman.
	5:07pm listener james from westwood: I thought I was the only one who lacked the Jonathan Richman gene. I hear ya.
	5:07pm Cecile: Modern Lovers are amazing, but he had strong personalities to balance him out.
	5:07pm Linda Lee: 'the more radical version of Perry Como' indeed ~ but that Eydie Gourmet! she was practically an anarchist!
	5:08pm Dean: @Cecile, ljfw: Not even early Modern Lovers? Or the live "Ice Cream Man" with thirteen false endings?
	5:08pm JakeGould: @Cecile: I have no words. You are faluting, sufferable and have whelmed me.
	5:09pm TehBadDr: A similar attempted landing thing happened to me at DCA years ago. Two aborted attempts then a landing! I was ready to say please take us to Dulles! It was that bad!
	5:09pm Cecile: you're welcome. Back to your corner.
	5:10pm Dean: Or "New Teller"? Love "New Teller"! He rhymes "teller" with "tell 'er". C'mon!
	5:10pm statoj: Okay, I was searching for a term to describe Andy Williams, but radical Perry como is about right. "Hipster" had a different connotation in the 60s. Big bands, sweaters- not thick glasses, shaved heads and beards.
	5:10pm Cecile: I like the early Modern Lovers a whole lot, but he had strong personalities to counter him. Not a fan of Ice Cream Man.
	5:11pm Cecile: he was a square dancing toward the beatnik edge.
	5:11pm JakeGould: @Cecile: So basically, you lost him when he started going cutesy nutty?
	5:11pm Cecile: Yeah, pretty much.
	5:11pm listener james from westwood: @Dean: Just does nothing for me. "Ice Cream Man" I turn off.
	5:12pm Dean: Approximately when he started making records in the bathroom of the recording studio.
	5:12pm JakeGould: @Cecile: So you know the anecdote that Jonathan Richman shoved toiled paper in his ears when he went to see the “Velvet Underground” and kept on saying they were too loud? Just saying since you are just saying.
	5:13pm Linda Lee: statoj, i remember the Andy Williams Show on tv. strictly white bread.
	5:13pm JakeGould: On topic: Caterina Caselli has some seriously deep pipes. I guess this show has revealed my weakness for women with deep singing voices.
	5:13pm Stanley: Sounds like Wanda
	5:14pm Linda Lee: Wanda Jackson was the queen of all things.
	5:14pm Cecile: Yes. He also toured with Shockabilly and kept complaining about how loud they were. Eugene Chadbourne detailed it in his tour diary.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I Wanda what she gonna play this week!...
	5:14pm JakeGould: @Stanley: You always bring me joy when that Fat Freddy’s Cat avatar pops up. Such joy!
	5:14pm matsutarou: @JakeGould: Misora Hibari has a fabulous contralto voice, particularly late in her career.
	5:15pm JakeGould: @matsutarou: New thing to explore for me!
	5:15pm Rob Kopp: @Jake: Like Tanita Tikaram?
	5:16pm alan from sacto: Wasn't Andy kind of a hipster to hang out with Ethel Kennedy? (Or is that more folkie!?)
	5:17pm JakeGould: @RobKopp: Now that is a deep reference. Tanita Tikaram!
	5:17pm matsutarou: @JakeGould: I recommend "Kawa no Nagare no You ni" @Rob Kopp: I've forgotten what Tanita Tikaram sounds like, will investigate later.
	5:17pm statoj: Linda Lee, But he had guests who were excellent contemporary folk musicians whom he would jam with. I only learned this later, those jams were totally NOT Perry Como material . I have to research who they were, but it surprised me recently when I saw old clips.
	5:17pm Linda Lee: that was Las Vegas alan!
	5:18pm Rob Kopp: Ofcourse Wanda's Funnel of love is her best song, but Im so glad I found Tongue tied on a German single as well
	5:19pm Linda Lee: i'll have to check those out & revise my lifelong opinion then. at the time my friends & i thought 'Andy Williams' was an all purpose punchline for dweeb jokes. & we were in grade school!
	5:19pm Adrian in London: I met Jonathan Richman once and he told me off for sitting on a Bhundu Boy's guitar flight case; a case that is designed to withstand huge bumps and knocks. Anyway, I still love Jojo.
	5:20pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: Speaking of Wanda, Kadokura Yuki is an enka singer who does an eerily similar "cornbread" vocalization. Check out "Yuki Onna" sometime.
	5:20pm Rob Kopp: Whenever I hear the name Bhundo Boys, I have to think of John Peel, who loved them
	5:20pm JtotheK: had to hop back on the board to echo @JasonBoston enthusiasm for House of Bamboo earlier... another example of fun pop that was also somehow northern soul.
	5:22pm JtotheK: oh and @sheilaB - do you have Earl Grant 'house of bamboo' on decca? if not let me know... fun to play that track back to back!
	5:23pm djsheilab: @JtotheK I don't! Is it great?
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Alternate Take... : [...gets home, turns on FMU 1st thing...Thinking : ...Yerknow, I clicky☆ too much - I should use restraint & only clicky☆ tracks that are the best of the best - not just the 1st thing I hear here that's okay...] ...OMG ! Outstanding Wanda Jackson track I never hoirds ! ! ..................☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ !.............. - &tc.
	5:24pm famous original italianicewolf: Andy Williams was cool enough for Kay Thompson!
	5:24pm Adrian in London: @Rob Kopp I saw them play once, and they were magnificent. But they had a sad ending.www.theguardian.com... But it was Andy Kershaw who really discovered them, IIRC
	5:24pm statoj: en.m.wikipedia.org... List of Andy's guests. Quite diverse. "Crooner" is the word I should have used instead of "hipster." He was a guitar picker who loved interacting with musicians. Growing up on the Airplane with "Up against the wall, m"""""er in our heads, it was easy to say "White bread" to Andy, but he was a sincere musician. I regret the sweaters, but whatever!
	5:25pm djsheilab: @RRNov63 Dig all those clicky stars! Isn't that Wanda one fab? Gets right to it!
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: @matustarou: I tried to fin dher on YouTube, but do you mean that 4:17 clip?
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Andy married Claudine Longet. Game Over.
	5:25pm JtotheK: yep, earl grant version of bamboo is also really good - very "cool" feel...
	5:26pm Linda Lee: crooner definitely. i'll check him out again!
	5:26pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: I don't know, I have the album. But I'll look into the YouTube clip in a minute.
	5:27pm Dean: I probably watched a lot of Andy Williams at the time, but I recall very little. Mike Douglas, an afternoon talk show counterpart, however, I do remember. As guests go, he managed to cover a surprising range of territory. I mean, I don't think Abbie Hoffman was ever on, but the week of John and Yoko was pretty amazing.
	5:28pm Linda Lee: frankly the goalposts for 'cool' have shifted a bit since then too.
	5:29pm statoj: Claudine Longet? Wow, I have not heard her name in forever.
	5:29pm Michael 98145: sounds pretty good here downstream ...
	5:30pm Linda Lee: even Ed Sullivan was compelled to include freaks on his show .. but he definitely wasn't very freaky. it was all about the ratings.
	5:30pm Dean: Good point, @Linda Lee. For example, goalposts are no longer cool.
	5:31pm Carmichael: I saw Todd Rundgren on Mike Douglas. Also ELO.
	5:31pm Rob Kopp: My new book PLATENBOEK4 will be about: the sixties after the sixties
	5:31pm Linda Lee: defintely not! :-D
	5:31pm P-90: @djsheilab: Really loving the show today! I'm going through some particularly difficult times with an illness in the family, and this is certainly easing the stress level as I email back and forth with doctors, family, etc. AND: Yes, that WAS a Vibraphone.
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: this is by far the best song I've heard today
	5:32pm Michael 98145: @P-90, been there. wishing you the best.
	5:33pm Rob Kopp: live not so good ???
	5:33pm Stanley: Hi JakeGould. I'm almost always listening when not at work but not always commenting. But sometimes I just have to hit the keyboard to congratulate the choice of record. FF's Cat is very close to my heart, a true friend when I was growing up in the seventies.
	5:34pm djsheilab: @P-90 I'm sorry to hear you're having to deal with an illness in your family. Sending you love!
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Steve Allen had Kerouac, Blue Cheer & Tim Buckley & stuff.
	5:34pm listener james from westwood: @P-90: Seconding Michael's message. WFMU has gotten me through similar scrapes.
	5:34pm Dean: Likewise, @P-90, I've been there. One source of slight consolation for me has been the ability to communicate almost directly with the family member's doctor, who is admirably responsive.
	5:34pm statoj: Anteros' bass player is the best.
	5:35pm Linda Lee: Steve Allen was more certifiably cool.
	5:35pm Michael 98145: Anteros is new to me ...
	5:36pm Rob Kopp: Crazy exotica!
	5:37pm Rob Kopp: Is Mexi love song dedicated to Donald?
	5:37pm Linda Lee: maybe it just came down to looking at a television host & guessing he might be high. if it seemed plausible, that was a cool tv host.
	5:37pm statoj: P-90, Nancy Griffith sang, "When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio." Glad you tuned in today.
	5:38pm Rob Kopp: Charlotte Leslie
	5:39pm Linda Lee: P-90, i'm sorry it's a difficult time for you. radio's gotten many of us through the tough ones.
	5:39pm JakeGould: @P-90: Sorry to hear. Best of thoughts and wishes to all.
	5:39pm Dean: I dunno. Dick Cavett never seemed high, but he managed to convey coolness from time to time.
	5:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: All due respect to DJ Kurt and the others before him, but WFMU has found a very good DJ for late Friday afternoons. What a party it is here each week, Sheila. You rock like rock!
	5:39pm statoj: Dean, My favorite Mike Douglas was when Grace Slick assured him with a straight face they never performed while high. :)
	5:39pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMVx0t3tzZI is a good example, but I can't find 雪女 anywhere. :(
	5:40pm Adrian in London: @P-90 Hope things look brighter soon x
	5:40pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: 雪女 = snow woman, btw
	5:40pm Linda Lee: Cavett had the twinkle though :-) it was never overt.
	5:41pm Michael 98145: ( there are people in my vicinity who think i'd rather listen to them than to DJ Sheila. they are so, so wrong. )
	5:41pm Linda Lee: this record was done a few different times. i remember another version all over the radio a few years later.
	5:42pm Dean: @Linda Lee: Coulda been depression meds...? @statoj: Maybe it was Grace's good faith recollection?
	5:42pm statoj: Dean, Dick Calvert never needed no stinkin' drugs. He was just a bright, intelligent soul with a gift for irony. Randy Newman immortalized him in his song, Rednecks. (Albeit in the voice of the redneck.)
	5:42pm djsheilab: @Ken From Hyde Park + @Michael 98145 I'm very flattered. Thank you both!
	5:43pm Michael 98145: thank YOU
	5:43pm Linda Lee: maybe so Dean. there was a lot of cross-over. if the meds made you happy, that was a good thing.
	5:43pm statoj: Dean, No, Grace was "pulling his chain." for sure.
	5:44pm Adrian in London: Explaining to my Twitter timeline that no, I'm not watching the David Bowie prom, I'm listening to Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini…
	5:45pm Rob Kopp: @matsutarou. For me one of the best Japanese songs by a Japanese girl singer is Banana boat by Michiko Hamamura (1957)
	5:46pm Dean: I was joking about Grace, truly. Re: Cavett, it appears he didn't start taking medication until after his first long-run show, i.e., 1975. http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20113244,00.html Fortunately, though, Cavett isn't a "was," he's still an "is." Still gifted, I assume, too. He likes to brag about his uncanny ability to generate anagrams on command.
	5:47pm Michael 98145: ( if these headphones are rockin, don't bother knockin )
	5:47pm JasonInBoston: Bobbie Smith! My kind of music! Awesome Northern Soul.
	5:47pm P-90: Wow, thanks for all the nice thoughts and feels, Sheila and Boomers.
	5:47pm statoj: Well for a while he was posting regular commentaries in the NY Times.
	5:48pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: I must respectfully and vehemently disagree. https://youtu.be/XRDYL9ZcnyI should be the Japanese National Anthem.
	5:48pm djsheilab: @JasonInBoston Bobbie Smith's records.....what melodies!
	5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: This eases my mixed feelings about hearing that Bob, Luis and Gordon were laid off from Sesame Street this week.
	5:49pm Linda Lee: what's interesting at this point is the idea that a witty, intelligent, astute person couldn't have possibly gotten high because, you know, drugs are bad. :-D we're talking the 60s & early 70s yes?
	5:50pm Dean: Okay, one last riff on Cavett. A couple weeks ago I watched this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIIkcYSqzA ...from this year, maybe? Quite enjoyable.
	5:52pm JakeGould: This show has made my rough-ish Friday better. Thanks Sheila!
	5:53pm Michael 98145: "Hockey Sticks and Balls of Steel"
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: @matsutaou: Not bad, but I prefer Michiko. But don't be offended. I dislike the majority of the Dutch music that's been made nowadays. It's just a matter of taste.
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: All the best, P-90
	5:55pm famous original italianicewolf: @KenfromHP: what is up with that? Sesame Street without Bob is not Sesame Street
	5:55pm matsutarou: As an early 70s baby, I was too young to remember Dick Cavett or Andy Williams, and can only vaguely recall Flip Wilson and Merv Griffin shows. These days, I mix Andy Williams xmas album against Merzbow every yuletide. Backwards, forwards, filtered, chopped, etc..
	5:56pm Rob Kopp: Until next week everyone
	5:56pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: lmao, no offence taken!
	5:56pm The Contessa: Thanks for a great show Sheila. What has made you so giddy tonight?? It's been fun!
	5:57pm P-90: Back in the Golden Age of late-night talk shows, Cavett was always the "thinking persons" host. His shows with long interviews with John Lennon and Yoko are highly recommended. Also his Groucho Marx and Kate Hepburn Shows
	5:57pm Linda Lee: thanks for a phenomenal show SheilaB!
	5:57pm Michael 98145: whoa
	5:57pm alan from sacto: Thanks, awesome show!
	5:57pm statoj: Linda Lee, Well Cavett's affect was not that of a stoner. His timing was precise. I suppose it is possible he indulged, but his detachment was not suggestive of the door culture. But I suppose it is possibke. Pot was groovy, no argument.
	5:57pm matsutarou: Excellent show, Sheila!
	5:57pm chris: thanks, Sheila! screw the rest!
	5:58pm Torbjørn: Great show, thank you !
	5:58pm Adrian in London: Thanks Sheila! Great show xx
	5:58pm P-90: This WAS one of your best, Sheila! Thanks!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: there were so many incredible pharmaceuticals available for just about everyone .. it boggles the mind.
	5:59pm statoj: An awesome show, sheilab!
	5:59pm P-90: @djsheilab: xxx ooo!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: & it was all totally ok.
	6:00pm DMcK: St. Trinian's was based on a Ronald Searle cartoon strip from the 1940s, later made in to a series of movies in the '50s! It's a critical touchstone of British pop culture.
	6:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: The picture: www.wfmu.org... Have a good one!
	10:07am zmzzm: Hi SB, I'm listening yours in Manchester here (routed from Cologne, Paris & London). Glad to hear you'd do another despondent women song show. Arriving JFK at your showtime. Hope I'll make it. See you!

Listener comments!
	3:03pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and skiers.
	3:03pm Cecile: Sheila B, I have to know how Alan Parsons was! I missed last week.
	3:03pm JP from KC: Hola, Sheila B!
	3:03pm listener james from westwood: I thought this sounded Bond-y! Howdy Sheila and all!!
	3:03pm Cecile: Speaking of that... hi Carm!
	3:04pm JtotheK: hi sheilaB, hi boom-boomers.
	3:05pm The Contessa: Hello Sheila, hello everyone, happy Friday. This track is SO good!
	3:05pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila
	3:05pm Michael 98145: "Do you know how Christmas trees are grown?" うれしい DJ Sheila in the house
	3:07pm j-biz: Ahhh, my favorite part of the week is here once more.
	3:07pm Carmichael: Hey Cecile! I told PJ to be on the lookout for Sheila, but I wasn't sure how I could describe her. Sheila, I was hoping your personality would cause you to be recognized ...
	3:07pm djsheilab: Hello my favorite people! Isn't it grand @The Contessa?! This really should be my single of the week, but it came so perfectly after the John Barry song.
	3:08pm Rob Kopp: Hi everyone. Working on my next book PLATENBOEK 4 is soooo relaxed when listening to this radio programme.
	3:09pm P-90: Greetings Sheila! I always loved Ski Chase! Classic John Barry, very 60's-nostalgic.
	3:09pm The Contessa: Who else knows Earl Okin, without the Roger?
	3:09pm alan from sacto: Hi, glad to be boom booming today
	3:10pm Linda Lee: wow ~ extra special show today! love it.
	3:10pm Adrian in London: Good evening Sheila, good evening everyone. Pygmalion is such a great record. By far the best Slowdive LP. I think I read recently how much Alan McGee regrets dumping them and admits what a great record this is. INTERRUPTS SELF Jenny HVAL!!!
	3:11pm djsheilab: @Linda Lee This show does feel very special. I found SO many exciting records!
	3:12pm Rob Kopp: Nice title of your show. Reminds me of I never met a girl like you before (KInks).
	3:12pm Michael 98145: you have a happy audience as always
	3:12pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London Haha! Great post! Yup brand new Jenny Hval. And that Slowdive LP is a beauty, though I have a soft spot for Just For A Day.
	3:12pm P-90: It does feel like an extra-special show, right from the top!
	3:14pm JakeGould: Wow! Still experimenting with opening tracks? Quite an epic choice this week!
	3:15pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and boom boomers. Raining here but Sophisticated Boom Boom is my rainbow.
	3:15pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Yes, Just for a Day is lovely too. I found myself listening to the first Ride LP a lot this week and loving Polar Bear. I saw them a lot when they started out.
	3:16pm JakeGould: Hey Cooh John! Bring that sweat rain to disgusting NYC.
	3:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: sweat rain = Ewwww! Also: Hello, everyone!
	3:19pm JakeGould: Ack! I wrote “sweat rain!” DAMN!!!!
	3:20pm djsheilab: @JakeGould Sweat rain....sexy!
	3:21pm Michael 98145: Freudian slippage
	3:22pm JtotheK: nice peggy march - just procured this 45 a few weeks ago myself!
	3:22pm JakeGould: The one thing I like about this heat is in NYC is you can pretty much just turn to anyone on the subway in NYC and just say, “This heat’s nuts!” and they will agree.
	3:22pm The Contessa: This is dreamy to my ears
	3:25pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Sweet! I think it may be my favorite of her's.
	3:25pm djsheilab: She's as heavy as a Chevy! BEST LYRIC EVER.
	3:25pm The Contessa: Hello @Ken, anything happening we should know about? The weather… birds?
	3:27pm Cecile: sweat rain is what Saturday was here. The clouds sweated. For seven hours
	3:27pm Cooh John: I will be misled!
	3:27pm nightjeans: this tune makes me me nostalgic for the era of aerobics videos
	3:28pm Cecile: is that Peggy March the "little Peggy March"?
	3:28pm Rob Kopp: my favorite Peggy March song is Too long away where she's accompanied by Dutch band The Hunters featuring a young Jan Akkerman
	3:28pm Bend Sinister: Really like her German language schlager 'Mit 17 Hat Man Noch Träume'
	3:28pm Cooh John: huffing and puffing the rain your way, JakeGould.
	3:29pm JakeGould: Corn sweat rain.
	3:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Contessa - Hi there. It's been hot here lately and most birds seem to lie low during the day. It's fun to lie back and watch hawks and vultures circling up in the sky.
	3:31pm Whooda: Always enjoy happy magic DJ Sophisticated Boom Boom Shelia. Thanks.
	3:31pm nightjeans: also the Cosby sweater on that dude on the right from the Kool & the Gang cover!!!
	3:32pm The Contessa: @Ken, hawks and vultures! We can offer swifts and jays!
	3:33pm Adrian in London: Jonathan Richman is a great lyricist. In Walter Johnson: "When the Washington Niners were gonna win/Walter Johnson eased up on the opposi-shin/("Yeah, that's right)"!
	3:33pm Linda Lee: hot stuff lyrics? all of Brick House baby!
	3:34pm Cheri Pi: She's massive! did you have glow sticks?
	3:34pm Adrian in London: @Sheila Ah, she played Koko in Camden the other week. I know Glass went to see her.
	3:36pm Linda Lee: Jake ~ someone might just say 'heats? boils more like it'
	3:37pm JakeGould: The thing about this weather in NYC right now is all the pizza crusts feel soggy and all the food from food trucks feel sweaty. I’m just going to eat savory ice cream for the next few weeks.
	3:37pm JtotheK: @sheilaB - per our discussion last week, at area shop I did not find a bronzettes 'hot spot' on parkway. and i learned that i missed out on vickie baines 'country girl' on parkway, and probably passed it in bins without realizing. ugh. i'm convincing myself it would've been out of my budget.
	3:39pm JtotheK: but i /did/ find a Neil Sedaka "Too Late" 45 (for 50 cents!) which was quite rewarding.
	3:39pm Joanne Stato: Boom Boom everybody! Got here late, just in time to hear Sheila's upbeat recap of set 1! So good to be here! (Love this Fashion Monster.)
	3:40pm Adrian in London: @SHeila Listening to this set, and knowing how giddy you get, it's barely credible to recall you started your WFMU tenure by playing three weeks of despairingly desolate sad music. However did you cope?!
	3:42pm statoj: Weird. It signed me in as Joanne Stato" but I am really "statoj"!!!
	3:44pm statoj: Yes! I remember the "Sad sheilab." All sheilabs are wonderful. Different faces of the same prism. It perhaps I should say "diamond."
	3:45pm Cooh John: looking forward to your next Friedman slip JG.
	3:45pm Cecile: I missed your update, Carm. Thank you!
	3:46pm Cecile: Cybill is an A-OK singer!
	3:46pm JakeGould: HAAHHAH! Friedman slip!
	3:47pm JakeGould: What’s the “Friedman Slip?” a hand written number you get from the guy at the counter at the deli?
	3:47pm Linda Lee: hahahah!
	3:48pm Linda Lee: this pussycats record is sublime.
	3:49pm statoj: I like the way she says "bay-bee."
	3:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if this is before or after Josie was their leader.
	3:51pm Linda Lee: apropos of nothin, but i've been listening to fmu for 30 years now & i've never heard 'poor side of town' by johnny rivers.
	3:52pm JakeGould: Now I want to sail into Walker’s Cay. Do they serve savory ice cream?
	3:53pm statoj: Linda Lee, would that be a request? Great song.
	3:53pm Linda Lee: i'd be totally thrilled. i've loved that damn record since it was new :-D
	3:55pm djsheilab: @Linda Lee I don't know that record. Must check it out.
	3:55pm Cecile: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
	3:55pm Cecile: You'll love it, sheila
	3:55pm Linda Lee: it's pop magic, sheila b. :-)
	3:55pm statoj: I have only been a devotee for 1 year (better late than never) but I would love to hear Maria Muldaur (nee D'Amato) sing 'Cause I'm a Woman...W-O-M-A-N.
	3:55pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Congrats on picking up that FAB Neil Sedaka 45 for so cheap!
	3:56pm djsheilab: @Cecile @Linda Lee Sounds right up my alley!
	3:56pm Cecile: wait, this song is filthier than I remembered.
	3:57pm βrian: Today, the playlist background is 'chilled buttermilk borscht.' Made with the freshest of beets, it's quite tasty.
	3:57pm Linda Lee: Johnny Rivers did 'Secret Agent Man' originally. 'Poor Side' concerns a woman shamed.
	3:58pm Cecile: it's melodramatic, and Johnny is a great singer
	4:00pm Cecile: yeah, someone's sailing into her cay. OH NO!
	4:01pm βrian: Good pop is Sprecher's Root Beer, for example.
	4:02pm Cecile: she has actually sung cabaret for a long time. I think the title is there because she didn't get good reviews for the movie At Long Last Love.
	4:02pm JakeGould: Hey! I actually like that “Cybill Getz Better” title!
	4:02pm Cecile: we agree on something, Jake.
	4:02pm famous original italianicewolf: I have a Cybill Shepard record, I guess it's that one!
	4:02pm P-90: Cybil also sang quite nicely in the musical film "At Long Last Love."
	4:03pm famous original italianicewolf: I want to say I bought it at Footlights RIP
	4:04pm JtotheK: yeah, that Sedaka 45 is great! glad to have found it. (speaking of pop 45s...) now i need to find Paul Anka "I Can't Help Loving You" on RCA -- have had it (and that Sedaka) before, but realize both should be filed permanently...
	4:04pm JakeGould: @ItalianIceWolf: First, nice nick today! Also, yeah… Footlights… I miss them too.
	4:05pm JtotheK: and also on the 'pop' discussion - there's a book about northern soul records, and they are broken down into a few sub-categories, one of which is 'pop' - and i enjoy trying to track the 'pop' northern 45s down... good stuff! (another good one is Trade Martin 'Work Song' on RCA)
	4:06pm Cecile: OG booty call
	4:06pm Cecile: P-90, I heard it's a fun movie, but critics just trashed it.
	4:06pm Linda Lee: yep. pretty hot
	4:07pm dfb: it hits the right sonic regions
	4:08pm Cecile: He wants to give her classy sailing lessons.
	4:08pm Linda Lee: lol Cecile!
	4:09pm JakeGould: Oh wow, this deep, bassy Japanese lady’s vocals.
	4:09pm Linda Lee: yep. pretty hot
	4:11pm djsheilab: @JakeGould Intense, right? This also needs to be heard at midnight in a smokey, basement jazz bar with red lighting.
	4:13pm Cecile: and life jackets. Always observe water safety precautions when "sailing"
	4:13pm peter in seattle: West Coast Friday just got better! <3 SBB!
	4:13pm JakeGould: Yes! But be careful with red lit bars: Everyone looks better than they are and red pistachio gunk gets all over the place.
	4:14pm Linda Lee: Martha & the Vandellas were the tits. (that's a young person's expression i just learned.)
	4:14pm Cecile: oh, it's been around a long, long time Linda. Just not in the nicer company.
	4:15pm Linda Lee: that's what it's like living in the woods a mile from anywhere, Cecile :-)
	4:16pm Cecile: that's OK, I keep discovering things I have no idea about, and I live 2 miles from a city.
	4:16pm JtotheK: cool martha and vandellas 45. (which reminds me, that i have yet to find their 'In My Lonely Room' 45.) - enjoying the show as always sheilaB, i'll be tuned in via app for the rest. cheers everyone.
	4:16pm Cecile: and they are the tits.
	4:17pm Linda Lee: ain't life grand that way? it's the tits!
	4:17pm djsheilab: Tits all round!
	4:18pm Linda Lee: that's why we love SBB :-)
	4:18pm statoj: Lori McKenna is awesome.
	4:18pm Bronwyn Bishop: Loved the Carla Thomas earlier!
	4:18pm listener james from westwood: Recalling Ian "Deadwood" McShane's description of "Game of Thrones": "It's just tits and dragons!"
	4:19pm Cecile: That sounds like the app Game of War, too. hahahha
	4:19pm Linda Lee: hahaha!
	4:19pm Adrian in London: @James Surely you mean Ian 'Lovejoy' McShane? ;-)
	4:20pm famous original italianicewolf: I actually bought some records today! I got Cher, Diana Ross, and Loleatta Hollaway, all in the dollar bin. This store was also selling used cassette tapes for 1.99
	4:20pm JakeGould: Kind of funny “tits” came up since someone was ragging on “Doo Rag” on Bryce’s list and that reminded me of Bob Log III and his minor indie hit, “Clap Your Tits.” I’m not advocating, I’m just saying…
	4:20pm Goats Head Stew: Hey Sheila, great set! Great to hear you on the radio. Love, Mariko and Stuart, London.
	4:21pm djsheilab: @famous original italianicewolf Nice!
	4:21pm Cecile: my friend got a cheesy photo of McShane during his Lovejoy days and posted it prominently when Deadwood came around. which Loleatta?
	4:21pm statoj: Lovejoy indeed!
	4:21pm listener james from westwood: @Adrian: I first met McShane via "Lovejoy" reruns, so when I eventually dug into "Deadwood," it was a huge contrast!
	4:22pm famous original italianicewolf: I liked his guest appearances on Magnum P.I.
	4:22pm Cecile: actually, that song wasn't on Rumours. It's a b-side that somehow took on a life of its own. I'm a little bit of a stickler for that, having experienced the original at the time.
	4:22pm Cecile: it's a track from the Rumours period.
	4:23pm djsheilab: @Cecile It's on the reissue of Rumours. I'm playing the reissue.
	4:24pm Cecile: that's fine. I'm splitting hairs.
	4:24pm statoj: Yes this Silver Springs sounds more live than the rumours version.
	4:25pm Cecile: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:25pm Linda Lee: what a funny mix on this Tutti Hil single. it's like someone whispering in your ear in the bedroom with the radio on in the kitchen.
	4:25pm JakeGould: @Cecile: Whatever that Fleetwood Mac song was and wherever it came from it was a nice song. There, I said it.
	4:26pm Cecile: it was a nice song. We're agreeing again. This troubles me.
	4:26pm Adrian in London: @James Best Amazon Deadwood review: 1-star "Not for fans of Lovejoy"!!
	4:26pm djsheilab: Stop getting along everyone!
	4:27pm Cecile: You can sing the lyrics to "New Attitude" to this.
	4:28pm chris: whiskey or vodka drinks? lets get fightin'!
	4:28pm el BO-Bo: This is sooooooo Eighties. I LOVE IT!!!!!
	4:28pm flashbazbo: Yeah they pulled it off rumors against her wishes and reduced her contr to a couple tunes. Tough group
	4:29pm JakeGould: @chris: Give me some beer and a savoy ice cream—like french fries and gravy flavored—and it’s on you nice person!
	4:30pm Cecile: Yeah, that album hangs together so well, but there was so much conflict behind it.
	4:30pm TehBadDr: Love me some synth pop, hi Sheila B!
	4:31pm statoj: Impressive hairdo. Is that guy the singer?
	4:32pm chris: damn, now i'm thirsty and hungry, Jake. you win.
	4:33pm Cecile: no, but it did good in the UK and Ireland.
	4:33pm el BO-Bo: Yup. I used to dance to this at international parties at PENN. Awe some. Feel it Sheila!!
	4:33pm Linda Lee: i don't remember it. & i was there then.
	4:33pm JakeGould: “Songs for Waiting in Line at a Food Truck”
	4:34pm Cecile: I don't disagree with you, Sheila.
	4:34pm Linda Lee: 'Songs for Conversations About Heated Nuts On The Subway'
	4:34pm Brian in UK: Hello djsheilab. So chuffed to see that you played Taj Mahal's great album.
	4:36pm Leonardo: Mario's is real. Kelly St. NW5
	4:37pm Michael 98145: more steamy !!
	4:37pm JakeGould: Here’s a link to what Sheila B. is talking about. To be a nit-picker, he is holding a bowl of cremini mushrooms which are savory and not psychedelic. www.cherrylanetheatre.org...
	4:38pm Cecile: I think many records were made on mushrooms.
	4:38pm TehBadDr: Wow I missed a Cybill Shepard tune? Didn't know she sang.
	4:39pm will: You could play a song by the band called the magic mushrooms. They were on nuggets among other comps
	4:39pm Brian in UK: Here is a review of this little gem. www.independent.co.uk...
	4:39pm Cecile: yep, she sang the theme to her TV show.
	4:39pm βrian: Funny, I was just reading about mycorrhizal fungus yesterday.
	4:39pm Rocco: Does Whitchi Tai To by Jim Pepper count?
	4:39pm JakeGould: Someone I once knew ran a label named “Funky Mushroom” but that’s another story.
	4:40pm TehBadDr: Moonlighting, that takes me back, makes me feel old!
	4:40pm Linda Lee: anything by Red Crayola might work.
	4:40pm Brian in UK: Funky Porcini anyone?
	4:40pm Cecile: Julian Cope
	4:41pm TehBadDr: Well there's Infected Mushroom if you wanna go Psy.
	4:41pm djsheilab: www.themushroom.cure.com
	4:41pm Rob Kopp: Mushroom machine by Bobby Arlin on Tab! vol. 1 Rainy day mushroom pillow by Strawberry Alarm Clock on Psych-Out
	4:41pm Cecile: Oh, it's Sophia Grace and Rosie!
	4:41pm βrian: I just scored a pound of dried porcini, actually. No lie. I expect they'll last a while.
	4:41pm j-biz: I saw that show a year or so ago when he was "testing" it out at a comedy club uptown. It was really fascinating.
	4:41pm steve: nice! these kids are the future
	4:42pm aw: Dude
	4:42pm Linda Lee: there you go, Rob
	4:42pm djsheilab: @J-biz I saw that "test" one too at some really odd theatre in the 30s.
	4:42pm TehBadDr: Scored Porcini's? Was the count good?
	4:43pm Michael 98145: i think you meant this, DJ Sheila: themushroomcure.com
	4:43pm βrian: So Sheila, no comma after "Eat" in the band's name? Poor Grandma, if not!
	4:43pm Cecile: there isn't! hahahaha. "Grammar saves lives!"
	4:43pm Michael 98145: punctuation is important
	4:44pm djsheilab: Oops! All those mushrooms @Michael 98145. Thanks!
	4:44pm el BO-Bo: This song is wunder full It has grown on me and I love it. Im getting the cd when it comes out. Txs SB
	4:44pm Rob Kopp: Mariska!
	4:44pm Matt in Hillsborough: I JUST LISTENED TO THIS SONG TWO DAYS AGO, I'M LOVIN' IT
	4:45pm P-90: Shiitake: not psychedelic, but very healthy. Cute song, too.
	4:46pm Linda Lee: i love Shocking Blue!
	4:46pm JakeGould: I love that Shocking Blue sleeve design.
	4:46pm Adrian in London: @Sheila This is great! Is the Harley Davidson on the B-side the Serge song?
	4:46pm Cecile: The Shocking Blue are shockingly great.
	4:47pm statoj: Send me a postcard has a Jefferson airplane vibe, and the guy on the lower right looks like Mary Balin.
	4:47pm Linda Lee: love where this is going ...
	4:48pm Michael 98145: This is all the stuff that never got played on the air when it was fresh
	4:48pm statoj: Shocking Blue- didn't they have that "I'm your Venus" hit in 1969 or 70?
	4:48pm awereefws: CaAmaze Happy birthday to te one of my favorite people in the world
	4:48pm Linda Lee: Shocking Blue had a hit single tho ..
	4:49pm Linda Lee: touche' !
	4:49pm el BO-Bo: Txs for that Brian in the UK. Great review. I wish more bands wrote what they dont hear like these girls.
	4:50pm Rob Kopp: It must be the Swedish sleeve (Olga). The Dutch single was released on Pink Elephant. It was their first hit in NL in '68 and was played a lot on the radio.
	4:50pm Gaylord Fields: Dolly Mixture always compels me to de-lurk!
	4:50pm Carmichael: Shocking Blue was from Iceland or Denmark or Sweden or somewhere.
	4:51pm Cecile: the Netherlands
	4:52pm Michael 98145: "your eyebrows may be the best thing in town ..."
	4:52pm TehBadDr: This is great!
	4:52pm Linda Lee: i'm thinkin Jane Birkin or Baby Jane Holzer ..
	4:52pm statoj: Okay, sheilab, Dolly Mixture's lyrics are singular. (The part about "your eyebrows..."
	4:53pm Rob Kopp: @Statoj: The guy on the lower right is Robbie van Leeuwen, who wrote all their songs. Before Shocking Blue he wrote even better songs while he was in The Motions
	4:53pm statoj: Yeah! What Michael said!
	4:53pm djsheilab: @Statoj Yes! All about those eyebrows lyrics.
	4:53pm JasonInBoston: YEAH! House of Bamboo!
	4:54pm Michael 98145: i'm gonna go watch some girls
	4:54pm statoj: Rob, Cool!
	4:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bamboo is one of those words that's just funny to say.
	4:55pm statoj: Ken, Totally. I am practicing right now.
	4:56pm Dean: Rhymes internally with "clambake," which is also fun to say.
	4:56pm Cecile: I only know this from Dusty Springfield!
	4:56pm JasonInBoston: OOOH NICE! Is this the flip side to "She Don't Deserve You"?
	4:56pm Linda Lee: gorgeous record.
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: Didn't know this Cookies version, only Dusty Spingfield's
	4:57pm statoj: Dean, Bamboo/clambake? What kind of accent do you sport?
	4:58pm Dean: And "hambone." My accent is herbes de Provence and a dash of salt.
	4:59pm JakeGould: You know what word is ridiculous if you think about it: Nestled.
	4:59pm Cecile: How is it ridiculous?
	5:00pm statoj: This is reminding me of when Harriet Vane told Lord Peter Wimsy she would only marry him for the pleasure of "hearing him talk piffle."
	5:00pm JakeGould: @Cecile: This is why we are acquaintances and not friends. You probably think “toothy” is an acceptable word.
	5:00pm Dean: @JakeGould: For some reason your comment reminds me of a joke Jonathan Richman told at a concert at either the Roxy or McCabe's guitar store. (The word "ridiculous" conjured it.) Q: Who's the most miserable couple on the planet? A: Mr. and Mrs. Erable.
	5:00pm Adrian in London: I've just been reading on Twitter about how Jimmy Osmond is doing an Andy Williams tribute show and how JO is the nicest man in the whole world, from someone who interviewed him.
	5:02pm statoj: I think Andy Williams was the most underestimated folkie in disguise as a cool hipster.
	5:03pm JakeGould: Hippies.
	5:03pm Linda Lee: cool hipster? Andy Williams?
	5:06pm Cecile: I have no opinion whatsoever on the word "toothy".
	5:06pm Carmichael: Andy Williams was a more radical version of Perry Como, but that's about as far as it goes.
	5:07pm JakeGould: Oh snap! Happy you landed safely.
	5:07pm Cecile: I don't like Jonathan Richman.
	5:07pm listener james from westwood: I thought I was the only one who lacked the Jonathan Richman gene. I hear ya.
	5:07pm Cecile: Modern Lovers are amazing, but he had strong personalities to balance him out.
	5:07pm Linda Lee: 'the more radical version of Perry Como' indeed ~ but that Eydie Gourmet! she was practically an anarchist!
	5:08pm Dean: @Cecile, ljfw: Not even early Modern Lovers? Or the live "Ice Cream Man" with thirteen false endings?
	5:08pm JakeGould: @Cecile: I have no words. You are faluting, sufferable and have whelmed me.
	5:09pm TehBadDr: A similar attempted landing thing happened to me at DCA years ago. Two aborted attempts then a landing! I was ready to say please take us to Dulles! It was that bad!
	5:09pm Cecile: you're welcome. Back to your corner.
	5:10pm Dean: Or "New Teller"? Love "New Teller"! He rhymes "teller" with "tell 'er". C'mon!
	5:10pm statoj: Okay, I was searching for a term to describe Andy Williams, but radical Perry como is about right. "Hipster" had a different connotation in the 60s. Big bands, sweaters- not thick glasses, shaved heads and beards.
	5:10pm Cecile: I like the early Modern Lovers a whole lot, but he had strong personalities to counter him. Not a fan of Ice Cream Man.
	5:11pm Cecile: he was a square dancing toward the beatnik edge.
	5:11pm JakeGould: @Cecile: So basically, you lost him when he started going cutesy nutty?
	5:11pm Cecile: Yeah, pretty much.
	5:11pm listener james from westwood: @Dean: Just does nothing for me. "Ice Cream Man" I turn off.
	5:12pm Dean: Approximately when he started making records in the bathroom of the recording studio.
	5:12pm JakeGould: @Cecile: So you know the anecdote that Jonathan Richman shoved toiled paper in his ears when he went to see the “Velvet Underground” and kept on saying they were too loud? Just saying since you are just saying.
	5:13pm Linda Lee: statoj, i remember the Andy Williams Show on tv. strictly white bread.
	5:13pm JakeGould: On topic: Caterina Caselli has some seriously deep pipes. I guess this show has revealed my weakness for women with deep singing voices.
	5:13pm Stanley: Sounds like Wanda
	5:14pm Linda Lee: Wanda Jackson was the queen of all things.
	5:14pm Cecile: Yes. He also toured with Shockabilly and kept complaining about how loud they were. Eugene Chadbourne detailed it in his tour diary.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I Wanda what she gonna play this week!...
	5:14pm JakeGould: @Stanley: You always bring me joy when that Fat Freddy’s Cat avatar pops up. Such joy!
	5:14pm matsutarou: @JakeGould: Misora Hibari has a fabulous contralto voice, particularly late in her career.
	5:15pm JakeGould: @matsutarou: New thing to explore for me!
	5:15pm Rob Kopp: @Jake: Like Tanita Tikaram?
	5:16pm alan from sacto: Wasn't Andy kind of a hipster to hang out with Ethel Kennedy? (Or is that more folkie!?)
	5:17pm JakeGould: @RobKopp: Now that is a deep reference. Tanita Tikaram!
	5:17pm matsutarou: @JakeGould: I recommend "Kawa no Nagare no You ni" @Rob Kopp: I've forgotten what Tanita Tikaram sounds like, will investigate later.
	5:17pm statoj: Linda Lee, But he had guests who were excellent contemporary folk musicians whom he would jam with. I only learned this later, those jams were totally NOT Perry Como material . I have to research who they were, but it surprised me recently when I saw old clips.
	5:17pm Linda Lee: that was Las Vegas alan!
	5:18pm Rob Kopp: Ofcourse Wanda's Funnel of love is her best song, but Im so glad I found Tongue tied on a German single as well
	5:19pm Linda Lee: i'll have to check those out & revise my lifelong opinion then. at the time my friends & i thought 'Andy Williams' was an all purpose punchline for dweeb jokes. & we were in grade school!
	5:19pm Adrian in London: I met Jonathan Richman once and he told me off for sitting on a Bhundu Boy's guitar flight case; a case that is designed to withstand huge bumps and knocks. Anyway, I still love Jojo.
	5:20pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: Speaking of Wanda, Kadokura Yuki is an enka singer who does an eerily similar "cornbread" vocalization. Check out "Yuki Onna" sometime.
	5:20pm Rob Kopp: Whenever I hear the name Bhundo Boys, I have to think of John Peel, who loved them
	5:20pm JtotheK: had to hop back on the board to echo @JasonBoston enthusiasm for House of Bamboo earlier... another example of fun pop that was also somehow northern soul.
	5:22pm JtotheK: oh and @sheilaB - do you have Earl Grant 'house of bamboo' on decca? if not let me know... fun to play that track back to back!
	5:23pm djsheilab: @JtotheK I don't! Is it great?
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Alternate Take... : [...gets home, turns on FMU 1st thing...Thinking : ...Yerknow, I clicky☆ too much - I should use restraint & only clicky☆ tracks that are the best of the best - not just the 1st thing I hear here that's okay...] ...OMG ! Outstanding Wanda Jackson track I never hoirds ! ! ..................☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ ! ☆ !.............. - &tc.
	5:24pm famous original italianicewolf: Andy Williams was cool enough for Kay Thompson!
	5:24pm Adrian in London: @Rob Kopp I saw them play once, and they were magnificent. But they had a sad ending.www.theguardian.com... But it was Andy Kershaw who really discovered them, IIRC
	5:24pm statoj: en.m.wikipedia.org... List of Andy's guests. Quite diverse. "Crooner" is the word I should have used instead of "hipster." He was a guitar picker who loved interacting with musicians. Growing up on the Airplane with "Up against the wall, m"""""er in our heads, it was easy to say "White bread" to Andy, but he was a sincere musician. I regret the sweaters, but whatever!
	5:25pm djsheilab: @RRNov63 Dig all those clicky stars! Isn't that Wanda one fab? Gets right to it!
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: @matustarou: I tried to fin dher on YouTube, but do you mean that 4:17 clip?
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Andy married Claudine Longet. Game Over.
	5:25pm JtotheK: yep, earl grant version of bamboo is also really good - very "cool" feel...
	5:26pm Linda Lee: crooner definitely. i'll check him out again!
	5:26pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: I don't know, I have the album. But I'll look into the YouTube clip in a minute.
	5:27pm Dean: I probably watched a lot of Andy Williams at the time, but I recall very little. Mike Douglas, an afternoon talk show counterpart, however, I do remember. As guests go, he managed to cover a surprising range of territory. I mean, I don't think Abbie Hoffman was ever on, but the week of John and Yoko was pretty amazing.
	5:28pm Linda Lee: frankly the goalposts for 'cool' have shifted a bit since then too.
	5:29pm statoj: Claudine Longet? Wow, I have not heard her name in forever.
	5:29pm Michael 98145: sounds pretty good here downstream ...
	5:30pm Linda Lee: even Ed Sullivan was compelled to include freaks on his show .. but he definitely wasn't very freaky. it was all about the ratings.
	5:30pm Dean: Good point, @Linda Lee. For example, goalposts are no longer cool.
	5:31pm Carmichael: I saw Todd Rundgren on Mike Douglas. Also ELO.
	5:31pm Rob Kopp: My new book PLATENBOEK4 will be about: the sixties after the sixties
	5:31pm Linda Lee: defintely not! :-D
	5:31pm P-90: @djsheilab: Really loving the show today! I'm going through some particularly difficult times with an illness in the family, and this is certainly easing the stress level as I email back and forth with doctors, family, etc. AND: Yes, that WAS a Vibraphone.
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: this is by far the best song I've heard today
	5:32pm Michael 98145: @P-90, been there. wishing you the best.
	5:33pm Rob Kopp: live not so good ???
	5:33pm Stanley: Hi JakeGould. I'm almost always listening when not at work but not always commenting. But sometimes I just have to hit the keyboard to congratulate the choice of record. FF's Cat is very close to my heart, a true friend when I was growing up in the seventies.
	5:34pm djsheilab: @P-90 I'm sorry to hear you're having to deal with an illness in your family. Sending you love!
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Steve Allen had Kerouac, Blue Cheer & Tim Buckley & stuff.
	5:34pm listener james from westwood: @P-90: Seconding Michael's message. WFMU has gotten me through similar scrapes.
	5:34pm Dean: Likewise, @P-90, I've been there. One source of slight consolation for me has been the ability to communicate almost directly with the family member's doctor, who is admirably responsive.
	5:34pm statoj: Anteros' bass player is the best.
	5:35pm Linda Lee: Steve Allen was more certifiably cool.
	5:35pm Michael 98145: Anteros is new to me ...
	5:36pm Rob Kopp: Crazy exotica!
	5:37pm Rob Kopp: Is Mexi love song dedicated to Donald?
	5:37pm Linda Lee: maybe it just came down to looking at a television host & guessing he might be high. if it seemed plausible, that was a cool tv host.
	5:37pm statoj: P-90, Nancy Griffith sang, "When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio." Glad you tuned in today.
	5:38pm Rob Kopp: Charlotte Leslie
	5:39pm Linda Lee: P-90, i'm sorry it's a difficult time for you. radio's gotten many of us through the tough ones.
	5:39pm JakeGould: @P-90: Sorry to hear. Best of thoughts and wishes to all.
	5:39pm Dean: I dunno. Dick Cavett never seemed high, but he managed to convey coolness from time to time.
	5:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: All due respect to DJ Kurt and the others before him, but WFMU has found a very good DJ for late Friday afternoons. What a party it is here each week, Sheila. You rock like rock!
	5:39pm statoj: Dean, My favorite Mike Douglas was when Grace Slick assured him with a straight face they never performed while high. :)
	5:39pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMVx0t3tzZI is a good example, but I can't find 雪女 anywhere. :(
	5:40pm Adrian in London: @P-90 Hope things look brighter soon x
	5:40pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: 雪女 = snow woman, btw
	5:40pm Linda Lee: Cavett had the twinkle though :-) it was never overt.
	5:41pm Michael 98145: ( there are people in my vicinity who think i'd rather listen to them than to DJ Sheila. they are so, so wrong. )
	5:41pm Linda Lee: this record was done a few different times. i remember another version all over the radio a few years later.
	5:42pm Dean: @Linda Lee: Coulda been depression meds...? @statoj: Maybe it was Grace's good faith recollection?
	5:42pm statoj: Dean, Dick Calvert never needed no stinkin' drugs. He was just a bright, intelligent soul with a gift for irony. Randy Newman immortalized him in his song, Rednecks. (Albeit in the voice of the redneck.)
	5:42pm djsheilab: @Ken From Hyde Park + @Michael 98145 I'm very flattered. Thank you both!
	5:43pm Michael 98145: thank YOU
	5:43pm Linda Lee: maybe so Dean. there was a lot of cross-over. if the meds made you happy, that was a good thing.
	5:43pm statoj: Dean, No, Grace was "pulling his chain." for sure.
	5:44pm Adrian in London: Explaining to my Twitter timeline that no, I'm not watching the David Bowie prom, I'm listening to Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini…
	5:45pm Rob Kopp: @matsutarou. For me one of the best Japanese songs by a Japanese girl singer is Banana boat by Michiko Hamamura (1957)
	5:46pm Dean: I was joking about Grace, truly. Re: Cavett, it appears he didn't start taking medication until after his first long-run show, i.e., 1975. http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20113244,00.html Fortunately, though, Cavett isn't a "was," he's still an "is." Still gifted, I assume, too. He likes to brag about his uncanny ability to generate anagrams on command.
	5:47pm Michael 98145: ( if these headphones are rockin, don't bother knockin )
	5:47pm JasonInBoston: Bobbie Smith! My kind of music! Awesome Northern Soul.
	5:47pm P-90: Wow, thanks for all the nice thoughts and feels, Sheila and Boomers.
	5:47pm statoj: Well for a while he was posting regular commentaries in the NY Times.
	5:48pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: I must respectfully and vehemently disagree. https://youtu.be/XRDYL9ZcnyI should be the Japanese National Anthem.
	5:48pm djsheilab: @JasonInBoston Bobbie Smith's records.....what melodies!
	5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: This eases my mixed feelings about hearing that Bob, Luis and Gordon were laid off from Sesame Street this week.
	5:49pm Linda Lee: what's interesting at this point is the idea that a witty, intelligent, astute person couldn't have possibly gotten high because, you know, drugs are bad. :-D we're talking the 60s & early 70s yes?
	5:50pm Dean: Okay, one last riff on Cavett. A couple weeks ago I watched this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIIkcYSqzA ...from this year, maybe? Quite enjoyable.
	5:52pm JakeGould: This show has made my rough-ish Friday better. Thanks Sheila!
	5:53pm Michael 98145: "Hockey Sticks and Balls of Steel"
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: @matsutaou: Not bad, but I prefer Michiko. But don't be offended. I dislike the majority of the Dutch music that's been made nowadays. It's just a matter of taste.
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: All the best, P-90
	5:55pm famous original italianicewolf: @KenfromHP: what is up with that? Sesame Street without Bob is not Sesame Street
	5:55pm matsutarou: As an early 70s baby, I was too young to remember Dick Cavett or Andy Williams, and can only vaguely recall Flip Wilson and Merv Griffin shows. These days, I mix Andy Williams xmas album against Merzbow every yuletide. Backwards, forwards, filtered, chopped, etc..
	5:56pm Rob Kopp: Until next week everyone
	5:56pm matsutarou: @Rob Kopp: lmao, no offence taken!
	5:56pm The Contessa: Thanks for a great show Sheila. What has made you so giddy tonight?? It's been fun!
	5:57pm P-90: Back in the Golden Age of late-night talk shows, Cavett was always the "thinking persons" host. His shows with long interviews with John Lennon and Yoko are highly recommended. Also his Groucho Marx and Kate Hepburn Shows
	5:57pm Linda Lee: thanks for a phenomenal show SheilaB!
	5:57pm Michael 98145: whoa
	5:57pm alan from sacto: Thanks, awesome show!
	5:57pm statoj: Linda Lee, Well Cavett's affect was not that of a stoner. His timing was precise. I suppose it is possible he indulged, but his detachment was not suggestive of the door culture. But I suppose it is possibke. Pot was groovy, no argument.
	5:57pm matsutarou: Excellent show, Sheila!
	5:57pm chris: thanks, Sheila! screw the rest!
	5:58pm Torbjørn: Great show, thank you !
	5:58pm Adrian in London: Thanks Sheila! Great show xx
	5:58pm P-90: This WAS one of your best, Sheila! Thanks!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: there were so many incredible pharmaceuticals available for just about everyone .. it boggles the mind.
	5:59pm statoj: An awesome show, sheilab!
	5:59pm P-90: @djsheilab: xxx ooo!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: & it was all totally ok.
	6:00pm DMcK: St. Trinian's was based on a Ronald Searle cartoon strip from the 1940s, later made in to a series of movies in the '50s! It's a critical touchstone of British pop culture.
	6:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: The picture: www.wfmu.org... Have a good one!
	10:07am zmzzm: Hi SB, I'm listening yours in Manchester here (routed from Cologne, Paris & London). Glad to hear you'd do another despondent women song show. Arriving JFK at your showtime. Hope I'll make it. See you!
