	3:12pm Anonymous Coward: Whoo-hoo! Diana and her Posse! Good for a Mo'town boy like me

	3:20pm nachurall: Hi ShE &boomer's!

	3:51pm Mike to: Michigan had a candy store. Sold those crooked ITALIAN. cigarettes.
	3:52pm djsheilab: @terrymcdonald1975 + @jerry h. I always wonder if they're too squeaky for non-Japanese ears. Glad you two dig the squeak!
	3:54pm Rob Kopp: Darling of the Womack Sisters (heard here 3 weeks ago) entered the monthly top 10 of Platenclub Utrecht at no. 2! That top 10 is published monthly in Platenblad, a Dutch magazine for record collectors.
	3:56pm Rob Kopp: Wow. For me Long time woman by Pam Grier is the best record so far
	3:58pm jerry h: Probably a great soundtrack album! Will look for it. Thanks @djsheilab!!
	3:58pm terrymcdonald1975: @djsheilab The squeak is good! :) For the ultimate in squeak vocals, check out the Japanese band Melt Banana.
	3:58pm slugluv1313: GO GO GO PAM GRIER!!!!!! DEFINITELY long time since i have heard this gem -- THANK YOU SHEILA!!!
	3:59pm djsheilab: @Rob Kopp + @slugluv1313 I wish she made more records!!!

	♥ 4:09pm melinda: So cool! Great story.
	4:10pm Andres: Yeah we are listening and we agree... do not make music industry such a porno thing!
	♥ 4:10pm Mick: Suuuuuuperfun!
	♥ 4:10pm joe mulligan: once you said jenifa, I was hoping it was Mace! great story sheila.
	♥ 4:11pm chris: hi. thanks for sharing that awesome story. so cool!
	♥ 4:11pm rsj: bitties y'all be buggin
	4:12pm Rob Kopp: Not only the Japanese pop world has gone crazy. You only have to watch the yearly European Song Contest. The final of 2017 is tomorrow. At least the 3 Dutch girls of OG3NE can SING.
	♥ 4:12pm melinda: One of the great things about 3 Feet High and Rising is discovering the original sources years later.
	4:12pm Jim: First Time I heard the source record for this De La Sol song - mind-blowing.
	♥ 4:12pm melinda: Fun hearing the sampled parts.
	4:13pm JakeGould: @DJSheilaB: It’s great when a famous person likes what you like for no other reason than you both like it. Congrats!
	4:13pm Carmichael: Hey there Sheila and boomers. Just in from my luncheon.
	♥ 4:13pm Passaic River Blues: "Jenifa" is a brilliant examination of teenage romance in 1980s black middle class Long Island. Maggie Thrett was an actress who somehow also made this insanely catchy and funky number. I recently put these songs together on a comp I made for a friend named Jennifer who's going through a rough time. It's like my world is collapsing in loveliness right now. GO SHEILA B!
	♥ 4:13pm jillydg: I LOVE that story. I had a run in with Maceo, and I am a big fan of de la. He was a doll. Wish I could post the photo here but don't see how.
	4:13pm jerry h: What a great song! -Maggie Thrett
	♥ 4:13pm Greg from ZONE 5: YEH!!!
	♥ 4:16pm fred: @terrymcdonald1975: Junko (from Hijokaidan) is pretty good at squeak vocals too
	4:16pm upsetter5001: "Soupy" has always been on my want list for maybe forever. Great story!
	4:16pm Marshall Stacks: DJ Monica had a hand in putting out Three Feet High, didn't she?
	4:17pm iambasil: Soupy is such a great song
	♥ 4:18pm Passaic River Blues: @Marshall: absolutely. Ms. Lynch was introduced through Prince Paul, I believe. Everything coming full circle.
	4:21pm jerry h: nice retro sound on this one!
	4:23pm Julie: Oooh this is so good
	4:24pm JtotheK: Arriving late, JtotheK of the future will have to listen to Soupy/De La via the archives. Hi everyone. Hi sheilaB.
	4:27pm Anonymous Coward: As St. Franks would say, "Now, That's a real broad's voice..."
	4:29pm steve: sheila i've lost touch with jpop kpop etc but in the past year or two i've discovered many crazy magical weird chopped up remixes of it on soundcloud from young Japanese bedroom/laptop producers... my fav is japanese artist In The Blue Shirt.
	4:30pm Will from Seattle: @Steve That sounds like interesting stuff!
	4:32pm Rob Kopp: The sleeve alone looks interesting
	4:32pm djsheilab: @steve Yeah! I'm gonna check this stuff out. Good tip! Thanks!
	4:38pm Rob Kopp: Don Bryant reminded me a little bit of Solomon Burke. I'll never forget I was driving on the highway beside Amsterdam airport Schiphol, when the radio said Solomon Burke died on Schiphol that day!
	♥ 4:41pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: I want that Maggie Thrett on Barry so bad! I need to complete my girls on Barry collection!!!
	4:42pm Rob Kopp: Hi Glynis!
	4:43pm Lixiviated Life: 2 minutes until I'm free from the LCD screen prison.
	4:44pm PsychopathJimFields: Hi Sheila!!!!
	♥ 4:44pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hi Rob
	4:45pm \zzm/: Hiii SB crazie troll lisner here luv yr sho jus'sayin'
	♥ 4:47pm Michael 98145: [ btw, LOVING my "honeybeat" disc ! ]
	4:47pm jerry h: more great compilations!
	4:47pm djsheilab: Hey @Glynis! Sending positive Maggie Thrett + Barry vibes your way!
	♥ 4:48pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hey Sheila: glad you are feeling better!
	4:49pm Rob Kopp: @ Glynis: Still have to listen to Crayons to perfume 141 Run run run. Loved the Czech girls in 140 Intercontinental cuties
	4:50pm JasonInBoston: WHOO! This Barbara Streisand 45 is like BUTTA! I need one!
	4:51pm JtotheK: Babs!!!!
	4:51pm upsetter5001: Out doing yourself today!
	4:51pm Rob Kopp: I never would have guessed this would be Barbara S
	4:53pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and the usual suspects. Been lis'nin since the beginnin'. Great to have you back. Your spinnin' didn't suffer none.
	4:54pm jerry h: @djsheilab- very sorry you were sick but you are back bigtime today!
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: @Glynis: Such a pity your Wednesday WFMU-radio show Crayons to perfume is from 01:00 - 02:00 in The Netherlands, so I never can listen to it live
	4:56pm Carmichael: The Streisand song is by George Goehring (Lipstick on Your Collar) and Stan Rhodes (Sunday Kind of Love). Typically smarmy lyrics ... :)
	4:59pm BennettCap: Love the show, Sheila Boom-Boom!
	♥ 5:00pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Rob: that's what archives are for! Sheila is much more fun to listen to live!!!
	♥ 5:02pm Passaic River Blues: @Sheila B: Duane played this funky Finnish version of this song a couple of months ago: soundcloud.com... Check it out--really, really good.
	5:07pm Rob Kopp: @Glynis: Probably (Sheila has far more people who are commenting and she's playing a lot of new songs I don't know yet), but all the SSB-listeners who only like 60's girls: try Crayons to perfume by Glynis!
	5:08pm TerryB: Sheila, we are so glad to have you back! Grand show. Movie reco to followup Babette's Feast: Big Night. Swell film with lots of great performances and a giant heart. Filmed in our NJ town (Keyport).
	♥ 5:09pm Michael 98145: great parable
	5:11pm djsheilab: I second Rob Kopp's recommendation to check out Glynis Girl Group Girl's killer WFMU show! wfmu.org...
	5:11pm slugluv1313: REALLY enjoying everything from this new Slowdive album!
	♥ 5:12pm fred: @Sheila: Didn't you once say that your mom thought you sounded too excited when talking during your show?
	5:13pm natbot: Perfect Friday set.
	5:14pm djsheilab: @fred Yeah, during last year's marathon when I insisted she listen! :)
	5:19pm jerry h: Great song! Have another vocal version of this by someone else-can't remember
	♥ 5:20pm Michael 98145: - never heard of Sophie D -
	5:21pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: Coucou!! We're back, listening on the train home. Wow, Sevdaliza was utterly amazing!! If she's playing near you when she plays the US soon do not miss her!
	5:22pm peter_aitch: this nouvelle vague is perfect
	5:22pm djsheilab: Yay! So happy you two are here @Adrian + the Contessa :) Glad the gig was so fabulous!
	5:23pm Rob Kopp: Adrian in London//The Contessa: gigs are always better than radio, even if it's SBB
	5:24pm Dimitar from Bulgaria: You start to get on my nerves boom boom girl.
	5:25pm djsheilab: Then turn off your radio darlin'! @Dimitar
	5:26pm Dimitar from Bulgaria: Eat me - Bulgaria, she free country.
	5:26pm jerry h: Vulgaria!
	5:26pm Rob Kopp: Love almost every Nouvelle Vague cover, just like I love almost every cover by Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs
	♥ 5:28pm Michael 98145: tres jolie Daumier : www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm Dimitar from Bulgaria: Country of Trump no better.
	♥ 5:28pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Sheila! Just waving hello.
	5:28pm JasonInBoston: New season, new year, new troll.
	5:29pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields + @JasoninBoston! Just in time for a brand new troll :)
	♥ 5:29pm Kevin-san: Hi, Sheila! Enjoying the show! Do you need a can of Troll-B-Gon?
	5:29pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: @Rob Better than SBB? I wouldn't go that far! ;-)
	♥ 5:34pm Gaylord Fields: There's room in everyone's musical diet for Sophisticated Boom Boom and Crayons to Perfume!
	5:35pm Rob Kopp: Adrian in London//The Contessa: you're right. Just got a ticket for the Rolling Stones on Sunday October 15, but I wouldn't have bought it when it would have been on a Friday!
	5:37pm Rob Kopp: Don't know who this is yet, but the intro and the voice are fantastic
	5:37pm Andres: Cool! Thank you... from Uruguay!
	5:37pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: @Rob I saw El Perro del Mar last Friday but it was a Sheila-free evening and she's been a SBB guest anyway so that was acceptable.
	♥ 5:39pm melinda: I like the Bedouine.
	5:40pm slugluv1313: WOW Bedouine is knocking me out!!! looking forward to next week :)
	♥ 5:41pm Michael 98145: this is fun, too
	5:42pm ncjay: This Pom Poms track is wonderful, cinematic!
	5:43pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian in London//The Contessa: listened to the complete show of Monica last week, but only with La boob oscillator by Stereolab I thought: that's an SBB song. So be glad you went to El Perro Del Mar!
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: Monica did a great job, imho
	5:45pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: Thanks Sheila! Driving home in a minute xx
	5:45pm Rob Kopp: Great <> Fantastic
	5:45pm djsheilab: Monica is truly in a class of her own. So happy that she was able to fill in for me again!
	5:46pm Rob Kopp: I didn't say it was bad (I listened the full 3 hours), but it was different
	♥ 5:47pm frozen_peas: That record cover is badass.
	♥ 5:49pm Michael 98145: - hahaha -
	5:52pm jerry h: time for me to sign out. thank you so much @djsheilab for a great friday afternoon!!!
	5:53pm djsheilab: Thanks @jerry h!
	5:54pm Thee BDub: Love your show you know Sheila, but I keep waiting for my favorite Japanese/NYC/Tokyo band Cibo Matto!!! This is gorgeous sounds like Rumor!! ❤️
	♥ 5:55pm Michael 98145: thanks again for another treat of a show, DJ Sheila
	5:55pm Thee BDub: & what is up with Mom not listening?? Kinda uncool...
	5:56pm Rob Kopp: Thanks again Sheila and all you regular commenters, until next week
	♥ 5:56pm fred: I really loved Monica's show, it was actually the first time I listened to her show (time difference is cruel). But if it takes Sheila's being sick for me to do so, I'd rather never listen to Monica again
	5:56pm P-90: Thanks for another absolutely perfect Friday afternoon outing, DJ Sheila B !
	♥ 5:57pm maestroso: Lovely show Sheila, glad to hear you again!

	3:51pm Mike to: Michigan had a candy store. Sold those crooked ITALIAN. cigarettes.
	3:52pm djsheilab: @terrymcdonald1975 + @jerry h. I always wonder if they're too squeaky for non-Japanese ears. Glad you two dig the squeak!
	3:54pm Rob Kopp: Darling of the Womack Sisters (heard here 3 weeks ago) entered the monthly top 10 of Platenclub Utrecht at no. 2! That top 10 is published monthly in Platenblad, a Dutch magazine for record collectors.
	3:56pm Rob Kopp: Wow. For me Long time woman by Pam Grier is the best record so far
	3:58pm jerry h: Probably a great soundtrack album! Will look for it. Thanks @djsheilab!!
	3:58pm terrymcdonald1975: @djsheilab The squeak is good! :) For the ultimate in squeak vocals, check out the Japanese band Melt Banana.

	♥ 4:11pm rsj: bitties y'all be buggin
	4:12pm Rob Kopp: Not only the Japanese pop world has gone crazy. You only have to watch the yearly European Song Contest. The final of 2017 is tomorrow. At least the 3 Dutch girls of OG3NE can SING.
	♥ 4:12pm melinda: One of the great things about 3 Feet High and Rising is discovering the original sources years later.
	4:12pm Jim: First Time I heard the source record for this De La Sol song - mind-blowing.
	♥ 4:12pm melinda: Fun hearing the sampled parts.
	4:13pm JakeGould: @DJSheilaB: It’s great when a famous person likes what you like for no other reason than you both like it. Congrats!
	4:13pm Carmichael: Hey there Sheila and boomers. Just in from my luncheon.
	♥ 4:13pm Passaic River Blues: "Jenifa" is a brilliant examination of teenage romance in 1980s black middle class Long Island. Maggie Thrett was an actress who somehow also made this insanely catchy and funky number. I recently put these songs together on a comp I made for a friend named Jennifer who's going through a rough time. It's like my world is collapsing in loveliness right now. GO SHEILA B!
	♥ 4:13pm jillydg: I LOVE that story. I had a run in with Maceo, and I am a big fan of de la. He was a doll. Wish I could post the photo here but don't see how.

	4:16pm upsetter5001: "Soupy" has always been on my want list for maybe forever. Great story!

	4:17pm iambasil: Soupy is such a great song
	♥ 4:18pm Passaic River Blues: @Marshall: absolutely. Ms. Lynch was introduced through Prince Paul, I believe. Everything coming full circle.
	4:21pm jerry h: nice retro sound on this one!
	4:23pm Julie: Oooh this is so good
	4:24pm JtotheK: Arriving late, JtotheK of the future will have to listen to Soupy/De La via the archives. Hi everyone. Hi sheilaB.
	4:27pm Anonymous Coward: As St. Franks would say, "Now, That's a real broad's voice..."
	4:29pm steve: sheila i've lost touch with jpop kpop etc but in the past year or two i've discovered many crazy magical weird chopped up remixes of it on soundcloud from young Japanese bedroom/laptop producers... my fav is japanese artist In The Blue Shirt.
	4:30pm Will from Seattle: @Steve That sounds like interesting stuff!
	4:32pm Rob Kopp: The sleeve alone looks interesting
	4:32pm djsheilab: @steve Yeah! I'm gonna check this stuff out. Good tip! Thanks!
	4:38pm Rob Kopp: Don Bryant reminded me a little bit of Solomon Burke. I'll never forget I was driving on the highway beside Amsterdam airport Schiphol, when the radio said Solomon Burke died on Schiphol that day!
	♥ 4:41pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: I want that Maggie Thrett on Barry so bad! I need to complete my girls on Barry collection!!!
	4:42pm Rob Kopp: Hi Glynis!
	4:43pm Lixiviated Life: 2 minutes until I'm free from the LCD screen prison.
	4:44pm PsychopathJimFields: Hi Sheila!!!!
	♥ 4:44pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hi Rob

	♥ 4:47pm Michael 98145: [ btw, LOVING my "honeybeat" disc ! ]
	4:47pm jerry h: more great compilations!
	4:47pm djsheilab: Hey @Glynis! Sending positive Maggie Thrett + Barry vibes your way!
	♥ 4:48pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Hey Sheila: glad you are feeling better!
	4:49pm Rob Kopp: @ Glynis: Still have to listen to Crayons to perfume 141 Run run run. Loved the Czech girls in 140 Intercontinental cuties
	4:50pm JasonInBoston: WHOO! This Barbara Streisand 45 is like BUTTA! I need one!
	4:51pm JtotheK: Babs!!!!
	4:51pm upsetter5001: Out doing yourself today!
	4:51pm Rob Kopp: I never would have guessed this would be Barbara S
	4:53pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and the usual suspects. Been lis'nin since the beginnin'. Great to have you back. Your spinnin' didn't suffer none.
	4:54pm jerry h: @djsheilab- very sorry you were sick but you are back bigtime today!
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: @Glynis: Such a pity your Wednesday WFMU-radio show Crayons to perfume is from 01:00 - 02:00 in The Netherlands, so I never can listen to it live
	4:56pm Carmichael: The Streisand song is by George Goehring (Lipstick on Your Collar) and Stan Rhodes (Sunday Kind of Love). Typically smarmy lyrics ... :)
	4:59pm BennettCap: Love the show, Sheila Boom-Boom!
	♥ 5:00pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Rob: that's what archives are for! Sheila is much more fun to listen to live!!!
	♥ 5:02pm Passaic River Blues: @Sheila B: Duane played this funky Finnish version of this song a couple of months ago: soundcloud.com... Check it out--really, really good.
	5:07pm Rob Kopp: @Glynis: Probably (Sheila has far more people who are commenting and she's playing a lot of new songs I don't know yet), but all the SSB-listeners who only like 60's girls: try Crayons to perfume by Glynis!
	5:08pm TerryB: Sheila, we are so glad to have you back! Grand show. Movie reco to followup Babette's Feast: Big Night. Swell film with lots of great performances and a giant heart. Filmed in our NJ town (Keyport).
	♥ 5:09pm Michael 98145: great parable
	5:11pm djsheilab: I second Rob Kopp's recommendation to check out Glynis Girl Group Girl's killer WFMU show! wfmu.org...
	5:11pm slugluv1313: REALLY enjoying everything from this new Slowdive album!
	♥ 5:12pm fred: @Sheila: Didn't you once say that your mom thought you sounded too excited when talking during your show?
	5:13pm natbot: Perfect Friday set.
	5:14pm djsheilab: @fred Yeah, during last year's marathon when I insisted she listen! :)
	5:19pm jerry h: Great song! Have another vocal version of this by someone else-can't remember
	♥ 5:20pm Michael 98145: - never heard of Sophie D -
	5:21pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: Coucou!! We're back, listening on the train home. Wow, Sevdaliza was utterly amazing!! If she's playing near you when she plays the US soon do not miss her!
	5:22pm peter_aitch: this nouvelle vague is perfect
	5:22pm djsheilab: Yay! So happy you two are here @Adrian + the Contessa :) Glad the gig was so fabulous!
	5:23pm Rob Kopp: Adrian in London//The Contessa: gigs are always better than radio, even if it's SBB
	5:24pm Dimitar from Bulgaria: You start to get on my nerves boom boom girl.
	5:25pm djsheilab: Then turn off your radio darlin'! @Dimitar
	5:26pm Dimitar from Bulgaria: Eat me - Bulgaria, she free country.
	5:26pm jerry h: Vulgaria!
	5:26pm Rob Kopp: Love almost every Nouvelle Vague cover, just like I love almost every cover by Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs
	♥ 5:28pm Michael 98145: tres jolie Daumier : www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm Dimitar from Bulgaria: Country of Trump no better.
	♥ 5:28pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Sheila! Just waving hello.
	5:28pm JasonInBoston: New season, new year, new troll.
	5:29pm djsheilab: @Gaylord Fields + @JasoninBoston! Just in time for a brand new troll :)
	♥ 5:29pm Kevin-san: Hi, Sheila! Enjoying the show! Do you need a can of Troll-B-Gon?
	5:29pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: @Rob Better than SBB? I wouldn't go that far! ;-)
	♥ 5:34pm Gaylord Fields: There's room in everyone's musical diet for Sophisticated Boom Boom and Crayons to Perfume!
	5:35pm Rob Kopp: Adrian in London//The Contessa: you're right. Just got a ticket for the Rolling Stones on Sunday October 15, but I wouldn't have bought it when it would have been on a Friday!
	5:37pm Rob Kopp: Don't know who this is yet, but the intro and the voice are fantastic
	5:37pm Andres: Cool! Thank you... from Uruguay!
	5:37pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: @Rob I saw El Perro del Mar last Friday but it was a Sheila-free evening and she's been a SBB guest anyway so that was acceptable.

	5:40pm slugluv1313: WOW Bedouine is knocking me out!!! looking forward to next week :)
	♥ 5:41pm Michael 98145: this is fun, too
	5:42pm ncjay: This Pom Poms track is wonderful, cinematic!
	5:43pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian in London//The Contessa: listened to the complete show of Monica last week, but only with La boob oscillator by Stereolab I thought: that's an SBB song. So be glad you went to El Perro Del Mar!
	♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145: Monica did a great job, imho
	5:45pm Adrian in London//The Contessa: Thanks Sheila! Driving home in a minute xx
	5:45pm Rob Kopp: Great <> Fantastic
	5:45pm djsheilab: Monica is truly in a class of her own. So happy that she was able to fill in for me again!
	5:46pm Rob Kopp: I didn't say it was bad (I listened the full 3 hours), but it was different
	♥ 5:47pm frozen_peas: That record cover is badass.
	♥ 5:49pm Michael 98145: - hahaha -

	5:54pm Thee BDub: Love your show you know Sheila, but I keep waiting for my favorite Japanese/NYC/Tokyo band Cibo Matto!!! This is gorgeous sounds like Rumor!! ❤️
	♥ 5:55pm Michael 98145: thanks again for another treat of a show, DJ Sheila
	5:55pm Thee BDub: & what is up with Mom not listening?? Kinda uncool...
	5:56pm Rob Kopp: Thanks again Sheila and all you regular commenters, until next week
	♥ 5:56pm fred: I really loved Monica's show, it was actually the first time I listened to her show (time difference is cruel). But if it takes Sheila's being sick for me to do so, I'd rather never listen to Monica again
	5:56pm P-90: Thanks for another absolutely perfect Friday afternoon outing, DJ Sheila B !
	♥ 5:57pm maestroso: Lovely show Sheila, glad to hear you again!
