	3:01pm Guido from Cologne: hello Sheila!
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Atmo-special ahoy!
	3:02pm Guido from Cologne: curious on what it will be
	3:03pm P-90: Konichiwa Sheila-san and Friends!
	3:04pm Wild Neil: LOVING this France Gall!
	3:04pm CTEmpress: Good afternoon all near and far!
	3:04pm Wild Neil: Did you know Blues Traveler has not EVER been played on WFMU? They are 30 this year....
	3:05pm Rob Kopp: Hi Sheila, hello my dear friends.
	3:05pm ncjay: Hi everyone and especially Sheila!
	3:05pm chris: hello, Sheila and all y'all.
	3:05pm JtotheK: hiya sheilaB, hi boom boomers.
	3:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, all. Let's kick this thing into the stratosphere! If we're voting on the opening theme, I'd like to keep the current one, please.
	3:06pm The Contessa: Me too, @Ken FHP
	3:06pm Rob Kopp: 5 years ago Paloma Faith won a Kinks cover contest with Sunny afternoon and was allowed to record the song again in the Konk studio with Ray Davies.
	3:07pm NotARealDoctor: Happy Friday, my fellow SheilaBites! Hi Sheila! My favorite 3 hours of the week right here!
	3:07pm chris: going with Ken FHP on this one: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
	3:07pm doin'whimpets: lovely musical selection as always, sheila. I really don't know why but this song always makes me want to listed to lonely digger...i don't even particularly like that song either
	3:07pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and sophisticates all over the world. Let's get this party started.
	3:07pm BronwynB: hello sheila and everyone!
	3:07pm Wild Neil: Paloma Faith reminds me of Amy Winehouse.
	3:08pm NotARealDoctor: We're voting on the theme? Did I miss an announcement?
	3:08pm CTEmpress: See, Paloma Faith: always something to learn here!
	3:08pm NotARealDoctor: @Wild Neil, I thought it was her until I looked at the Accu!
	3:08pm Cecile: yeah, same here NotaRealDoc
	3:09pm Adrian in London: Eveing all…
	3:09pm NotARealDoctor: And for my 2 cents, I'm quite partial to the current. I've got it on my "Must Aquire" list for my record digging trips!
	3:09pm Wild Neil: I try really hard at these comparisons, so @NotARealDoctor, thank you for self reporting! &Cecile! I guess she has some fancy musical term for having the same...color? timbre? voice as Amy Winehouse?
	3:10pm Cecile: To me Amy seems to sing from the throat more. The notes seem swish around in Paloma's mouth more and she's more sibilant, if that makes any sense.
	3:10pm Wild Neil: Gin Wigmore sounds kinda like AW. A very little.
	3:10pm BabyBear: Oh my, I thought that I was going to have to miss SBB this week, but luckily the office Thanksgiving party didn't go too long. Rejoice!
	3:11pm Cecile: Sorry, I knew Paloma wasn't Amy. I've listened to Amy way too much. I just didn't know about theme voting.
	3:11pm NotARealDoctor: @Cecile, I see where you're coming from, but I kind of attributed that to the variability of Amy's voice depending on her sobriety.
	3:11pm Guido from Cologne: La Verne!
	3:12pm The Oscar: Afternoon Sheila and Boommates!
	3:12pm Cecile: Paloma also has a lot less world weariness.
	3:13pm Scraps deSelby: hey h’lo
	3:13pm Cecile: hell, Leonard Cohen had a lot less world weariness compared to Amy Winehouse.
	3:13pm JtotheK: lavern baker sure has a lot of great 45s.
	3:14pm NotARealDoctor: Poor Amy. God rest her soul. :(
	3:14pm Cecile: I miss that girl every day.
	3:15pm doctorjazz: Hey all, Happy Friday!
	3:15pm djsheilab: Wow....today it's a mult-tasking extravaganza here in Studio A. HELLO!!!! I got lotsa atmosphere for you later this afternoon, when the sun goes down!
	3:15pm Rob Kopp: It's dark here already
	3:16pm Cecile: it's been gloomy all day.
	3:16pm djsheilab: Theme voting coming up as well!
	3:17pm Cecile: Do you want to change your theme song again? I like your theme song. Unless it's getting changed to Hair the Dog by Nazareth. Then, hell yeah, change it.
	3:20pm djsheilab: @Cecile Yeah, I was thinking change might be good. BUT...there's also the option to keep the same theme. Gonna play the three options later in the show.
	3:20pm Adrian in London: Really like this Loma song. Very, uh, atmospheric!
	3:20pm Dave in Leicester: sheila keep the theme it's the sound of the weekend beginning and gives me tingles
	3:22pm NotARealDoctor: I'm open-minded, I want to hear the options. But I definitely love the current theme, so they'll have to be really good...
	3:22pm Cecile: Oh, how I hope I get to vote for Hair of the Dog! I love cognitive dissonance!
	3:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: Today's communiqué had some ideas about the theme song. mailchi.mp...
	3:24pm iambasil: I love this song,I love aaliyah and I love this version and I love you Sheila B for sharing this with us <3
	3:25pm Cecile: I looked at the communique. I love Sophisticated Boom Boom, but it's a little on-the-nose.
	3:26pm The Oscar: I would love to hear a dreamy girl-pop version of "Hair of the Dog."
	3:26pm Cecile: I wonder if this is a nod to Lou Reed's former partner Sylvia? Lou wrote all those "says" songs.
	3:27pm Cecile: Oscar, that needs to happen. Or Babymetal needs to do it.
	3:29pm Adrian in London: Nice to see Kelly Lee Owens' LP getting lots of love in the end-of-year polls.
	3:30pm Cecile: I have to go get the mail, but I am voting for the current theme if you are tallying.
	3:30pm P-90: Haven't even opened today's communique yet, they tend to arrive in a breathless rush shortly before the show starts. Which is kinda cool: if one has a few minutes to read it while actually listening to the show, it's like the radio equivalent of reading the back of the cereal box while gorging on a big bowl of the yummy goodness inside!
	3:31pm Stephanie: "Open ended series" is what I like to hear
	3:38pm matt in Peapack: Just got into my car, tuned in and ready to listen. Hello everyone. Sheila B. You make my drive home from work oh so good. Keep it up!
	3:39pm Neil: Even a tree can shed a tear is a great record. My favourite track is Marianne by GU.
	3:40pm Passaic River Blues: Maki Asakawa's "Shinkyoku B" from her "Cat Nap" album is a gem. Should pull that out again.
	3:40pm doctorjazz: Ella! Louis! DA BEST! (This is an early pairing of them).
	3:41pm Neil: And I thinknk it's the first in a series of Japanese compilations.
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JazzInsights on iTunesU says Louis sang before he played...MamaCass weren't too bad @ this either...
	3:43pm CTEmpress: Tutti Hill!!!!!!
	3:44pm djsheilab: RRNov63—The Mama Cass version is pretty fantastic indeed.
	3:44pm The Oscar: It's funny-- a lot of albums for me are tied to the period of time my parents happened to have the cassette in their cars. That Ella/Louie is my mom's car, December of (I believe) 1992.
	3:44pm Neil: I love Maki Asakawa but it's hard to get her records in the UK.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: If I remember correctly, there were 2 famous Verve albums Louie and Ella made in the mid 50's, this was from a session a few years earlier.
	3:45pm Number Six: Hello, Sheila B. & All!
	3:45pm djsheilab: Neil—Honest Jons did a reissue that's worth picking up. I'm pretty sure it was only released in the UK.
	3:46pm Thee KeeKee: Listening from Palm Springs!
	3:47pm northguineahills: Contemporary lovers rock?!!
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thee KeeKee—You lucky gal! Hello Palm Springs!
	3:49pm CTEmpress: I see Tutti Hill on ARock and Kent....hmmm and Hi TheeKeeKee it's chilly here!
	3:49pm djsheilab: CTEmpress—Kent just reissued it on 45.
	3:50pm CTEmpress: So I see: every home should have one and now can! :)
	3:50pm Monica: loving this new invisible minds, mizz b!
	3:50pm steveo: hello dj sheila b; happy to be listening
	3:51pm Neil: Hi Sheila. Yes they did and its great but if you want to dig deeper it will cost. Lucky for me ,my son lives in Japan so I picked 4 albums up when I visited .
	3:51pm NotARealDoctor: This is fantastic. I'm going to have to pick this up.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Neil—Ah yes! A deep digger :)
	3:52pm djsheilab: Hey Monica! Quite lovely sounds on that one, right?
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...reminded of Cesaria Evora...which is welcome indeed...
	3:58pm dale: hello sheila - your program has the best block of music on the radio hands down. the opening of this anne peebles reminded me of babs 'i am a woman in love' (yes, it is a guilty pleasure but anything written by the bee gees is).
	3:59pm Cecile: I have this song, but I seem to remember this being a lot more rough than it sounded today.
	3:59pm northguineahills: It's your show, I don't want my subjective experience to influence what you do. Whatever you do, we'll love it!
	4:02pm TDK60: Haven't been here at this show in a while. Groovin'...
	4:03pm northguineahills: I listen to all of my records from beginning to end. And at least once a day, I listen to one or four of my recs in alphabetical order (more on the weekends). The last time it took me 8+ years to finish.
	4:03pm CTEmpress: Holy Moly this Shirley Ellis is outta sight! WOW killer
	4:03pm Rob Kopp: @TDK60: must have been in the cassette time!
	4:04pm ncjay: this Shirley is truly fine, an instant favorite!
	4:05pm Cecile: this might not be a bad theme...
	4:06pm djsheilab: ncjay + CTEmpress—I was blown away by the Shirley Ellis track too. A real gem!
	4:06pm ncjay: heh. I was thinking the same thing, Cecile!
	4:07pm Cecile: high fives ncjay
	4:07pm CTEmpress: Truly. And this Tina Tott is nice but Shirley DANG
	4:08pm listener james from westwood: w00t! "Grease" is the word!
	4:08pm NotARealDoctor: ELECTRIFYING!
	4:08pm steveo: oh, my ur-child hears this one loud and clear
	4:08pm Cecile: I must be the only person in the world who didn't dig this or the soundtrack.
	4:08pm Dennis Diken: highly diggable show Sheila!
	4:08pm BronwynB: having recently binge watched american crime story, im picturing john travolta as robert shapiro singing this and it's a great mental image
	4:09pm Cecile: My cousin took me to it the weekend it opened.
	4:09pm BronwynB: @Cecile: I can meet you halfway. Don't like Grease, but love this song.
	4:09pm Asheville Jon: it's OLIVIA NEUTRON BOMB!!
	4:09pm listener james from westwood: I saw this film when I was, what, 9, and I might have been juuuust a bit young for it.
	4:09pm BennettCap: This is a karaoke priority.
	4:09pm Cecile: Bronwyn, is that one good? I just finished Mindhunter - excellent.
	4:09pm steveo: lol Bronwyn
	4:10pm dale: grease made me have a crush on stockard channing.
	4:10pm listener james from westwood: One New Year's Eve ages ago, one of the basic cable stations played this with the lyrics along the bottom. They followed it w/ Blues Brothers. Fucking amazing musical night.
	4:10pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Good morning/evening!
	4:10pm Cecile: Hairspray (the original) gave me that Grease feeling. And all the songs were actual records.
	4:11pm BronwynB: @Cecile: Yes! But I am so addicted to true crime shows I even watched the silly Law and Order about the Menendez Bros and now I have nothing to feed my addiction until American Crime Story: Versace comes out ;(
	4:11pm Cecile: I literally squeed when Alaska won Drag Race All Stars wearing the bug dress from Hairspray.
	4:12pm Cecile: I have to watch that Law and Order one, it looks History Channel Houdini movie crazy.
	4:12pm BennettCap: Stockard Channing was in her 30s playing a teenage girl. The woman who played Marty, another Pink Lady, was only 19.
	4:12pm BronwynB: Except I just googled Mindhunter and that one looks great, thanks Cecile :D
	4:13pm northguineahills: Wow, this is on Ninja Tune! Rather poppy for them!
	4:13pm BronwynB: @Cecile: it is so fun. Edie Falco is great, and the contrast between the dull underacting of the guy playing the older brother and the wild overacting of the guy playing the younger brother is endlessly fascinating. And there's a crazy therapist who puts Dr. Landy to shame!
	4:13pm djsheilab: BennettCap—I think that's what I loved about Rizzo. She was truly knowing :)
	4:14pm Cecile: It is amazing, and I don't generally like stuff that stylized. It's set in 1977 and they only made a couple of music mistakes.
	4:15pm Cecile: Bronwyn, I can truly say I despise everyone involved with that case, but still follow it. It's such a trainwreck.
	4:15pm dale: i know stockard was 'up there.' i liked older women then.
	4:15pm BronwynB: haha, i love good music supervision! musical anachronisms always drive me insane. like i love the movie pirate radio but still haven't forgiven it for using "father and son" in "1966"
	4:16pm DC: Hello all! SBB sounding great, really enjoyed that Nabihah Iqbal, and this Oddnesse now too! Glad to tune in
	4:16pm Cecile: I KNOW. Someone told me about the Stranger Things metal mixtape and half of the stuff wasn't even recorded close to the 80s
	4:16pm Cecile: or metal
	4:17pm BronwynB: @Cecile: yeah, even the victims in that case were awful. the show is very sympathetic towards the brothers and their defense attorney, which is odd but definitely a bold tack to take, and definitely distinguishes it from american crime story where it was pretty clear they thought OJ did it and marcia clark/chris darden were the heroes (although johnnie cochran is kind of an antihero)
	4:17pm markr: This Oddnesse track is really dreamy and beautiful.
	4:17pm Guido from Cologne: clicky star 4 Oddnesse
	4:17pm BronwynB: i have a lot of opinions about true crime shows
	4:17pm markr: Oh gosh this Liz Phair track is such a deep favorite of mine!
	4:18pm djsheilab: markr + Guido from Cologne—Check out her latest single "I Used To." It's even better! And name-drops Whitesnake :)
	4:18pm markr: OK!
	4:18pm Cecile: Oy, Marcia and Chris. they botched that case pretty hard.
	4:19pm steveo: liz phair so great
	4:19pm Jeff Moore: Wow, this Liz Phair record was in heavy rotation chez moi lo these many decades ago, then I let it drop out of sight. Thanks for the reminder!
	4:19pm Passaic River Blues: @BronwynB: any other recommendations? I am tempted to rewatch the Helen Mirren-era "Prime Suspect" series, but am thinking I should hold off.
	4:20pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: Seoul is a cool city, I'm planning a visit there next spring maybe...
	4:20pm markr: Moi aussi, Jeff!
	4:20pm The Oscar: @steveo Ditto. Love the Girlysound version of this song too-- very different, with fake airline announcements.
	4:20pm BronwynB: I loved Liz Phair's "Why Can't I" when I was 10. Then as an adult I fell in love with Exile in Guyville. Then a few years later I found out it was the same person and was like "wtf". And I read the reviews for her pop album in '04 and felt terrible because everyone hated it and said it was her downfall and I loved it...but it was targeted towards little girls, or at least the single was, and apparently it worked. I used to jump up and down on my bed singing it into my hairbrush.
	4:20pm Cecile: PRB, did you ever watch the British State of Play series? It's more about journalism but there is a ton of crime in it.
	4:21pm Cecile: I kind of missed all the phases of Liz Phair.
	4:21pm markr: OK I dared step away from your fantastic radio program long enough to check out "I Used To" and you're correct, Ms. B., it's wonderful.
	4:22pm BronwynB: never mind, that album with "Why Can't I" was in '03 and I was 9
	4:22pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: I have not and will do so. Thank you!
	4:23pm markr: Suda Chuenbarn is a fabulous lunatic!
	4:23pm Passaic River Blues: Holy God, I am loving Thai "Funky Broadway".
	4:23pm JtotheK: whoa. FUNKY broadway. Nice!
	4:23pm Cecile: it is a cracker. Have you watched the British Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes? They are two shows that tie into each other. mars was way more popular, but Ashes was also excellent.
	4:24pm chris: Funky Broadway, baby!
	4:25pm JtotheK: @bronwynB, cecile - thanks for the reminder about Mindhunter. it's on the (never-ending) list of shows and movies i want to check out.
	4:25pm Cecile: and they are cop shows.
	4:26pm The Oscar: @Bronwyn I had a similar experience-- thanks to the weirdness of the filesharing era, the first Liz Phair I heard was the Girlysound tapes. I tried describing it to friends who only knew the '00s pop stuff, and we were literally convinced we were talking about two different artists!
	4:27pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: I haven't even heard of those. I generally like straight-forward police procedurals but, based on your heads-up, I should check them out.
	4:28pm BennettCap: "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" sums up the character of Rizzo. She had a good heart under all that cool. Thanks for the music, Sheila. You are "truly knowing".
	4:28pm northguineahills: There was another Tennis that sounds similar to the Tennis you played that was around 10 years earlier.
	4:29pm Cecile: They are both SFish, suspenseful and procedurals as well.
	4:29pm howard in nyc: doing something-and-run, right?
	4:30pm DC: * and run is an incredible track
	4:30pm Cecile: funk and run
	4:30pm Bill W: I saw Liz Phair at CBGB as well! She was very nervous but charming.
	4:31pm Dean: Olivia Newton-John, granddaughter of one of the big-shots of quantum theory, Max Born.
	4:31pm dale: my wife loves xanadu and made me watch it with her. i think i fell asleep.
	4:31pm Cecile: I was 17 when it came out.
	4:32pm The Oscar: Now I'm imagining a Match Game episode about Liz Phair lyrics.
	4:32pm BennettCap: @Dale I loved Xanadu!
	4:32pm Cecile: I saw Xanadu in the theatre. It was a mess, but there were a couple of crazy and kinda good Jeff Lynne productions on there.
	4:34pm frozen_peas: If'n I ever had a radio show, the theme song would definitely be Ottawan's "Crazy Music for Crazy People" & would also be the name of the show.
	4:34pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: Yeah Sheila, totally feel ya, we've got too much yang & need more yin
	4:35pm dale: i tried bennett.
	4:35pm The Contessa: Nope, @Sheila, it's not a theme song…
	4:35pm Cecile: I vote no for an opener, but maybe a closer.
	4:35pm Adrian in London: It's a great track but it's not a theme song
	4:35pm dale: i was gonna ask why not just go with the shangri-las song?
	4:35pm The Contessa: Better but still no for this one
	4:35pm NotARealDoctor: I like the first one, but it's not a weekly opener
	4:36pm Cecile: I love this song, but it's too on the nose.
	4:36pm Cecile: So far it's either Back Track or the current opener
	4:36pm DC: To be honest, I really like option one for a theme
	4:36pm CTEmpress: I like that idea Cecile!
	4:36pm Syl: No on the first one, yes on the second one
	4:37pm drowsy: OK, so the first one could be the entry, but the second for bumpers!
	4:37pm GeorgeSimian: The first one is OK, but I don't want to hear it every week. I vote for this Shangri-las
	4:37pm The Contessa: That's the one!
	4:37pm Van Redriksen: The namesake song, you must!
	4:37pm Guido from Cologne: First option doesn't work as a theme song.
	4:37pm NotARealDoctor: Nothing wrong with on the nose. One of our local radio stations has a show called Saturday Night Fish Fry, and it opens with the song of the same name every Saturday Night.
	4:37pm doin'whimpets: either 2 or 3 for me
	4:37pm listener james from westwood: Boom-boom, current opener, girl/gun.
	4:37pm drowsy: This one could be the outro.
	4:37pm Joe Mulligan: I like either the song of the show's name or the existing intro
	4:37pm Cecile: This one, maybe alternating with back track.
	4:37pm northguineahills: Crap, it's only 3 o'clock! sobs
	4:37pm Adrian in London: Yay! This is the best theme song! Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo-dooo
	4:38pm Rob Kopp: For me it's 2 or 3 as well. Getting so used to it by now
	4:38pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: I like #2 or the current opener.
	4:38pm kelly: Hi, Sheila B! If you're definitely going to change, I'd vote for the Sophisticated Boom Boom song (I admire the sentiment behind the 1st one, but as a listener, it might be kind of trying to listen to every week). STaying w/ the current one would also be fine. Thanks for all of your great music!!
	4:38pm GeorgeSimian: Hard not to go for the old one. At this point it's like smelling fried chicken and getting hungry.
	4:38pm drewo: Like the Shangri-LaLas!
	4:38pm Dano59: I like 'em all Sheila! (who does he original theme again?)
	4:38pm CTEmpress: I am kinda liking the namesake
	4:38pm iambasil: exile in guyville is one of the greatest records ever recorded in history.
	4:38pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: I still like the current theme, the Japanese in it adds an air of inscrutability
	4:38pm krissy b: #2 #2!!
	4:38pm Scraps deSelby: I love option 1. It’s great, period. On the other hand, that’s one of my favorite three Shangri-Las song for more than thirty years.....
	4:38pm Dano59: PS I need that Sebastian Tellier.
	4:38pm listener james from westwood: Tbh I whistle your current theme to myself between episodes, so honestly if the Shangri-Las don't win, this is evergreen!
	4:38pm Syl: Shangri-Las
	4:38pm BabyBear: Same! Keep it the same
	4:38pm NotARealDoctor: The original is still my favorite, but Shangri-Lalas is a great backup or end theme.
	4:38pm drowsy: recap: speech for opener. boom-boom for bumpers. current-opener as the outro between DJs Thanks for letting us weigh in!
	4:39pm JasonInBoston: Chrysalis is AMAZING! In my opinion-waaaay to heavy and topical though. Sophisticated Boom Boom is great but pigeon-holes the time period. The current theme is groovy 60s but sounds fresh and contemporary at the same time. It's also indicative of the vairety. I say keep this one. I get a little chill of excitement whenever I hear it. Also-it's the most SOPHISTICATED-sounding of all songs, in my opinion.
	4:39pm Guido from Cologne: the Sophisticated Boom Boom instrumental track would be great. You could talk over it.
	4:39pm ncjay: Existing opening song yes, "SBB" maybe, Sebastian Tellier no. I agree with the poster above that the existing opener is the best beginning to the weekend I could ask for.
	4:39pm peter_aitch: number 2 opener, number 3 closer
	4:39pm Cecile: 1. Back Track - Shirley Ellis 2. Current opener 3. Nazareth Hair of the Dog done by a j-pop band
	4:39pm JtotheK: yeah, my vote is 'existing/current theme' though Boom Boom is a close second.
	4:39pm kev: I agree Shangri las
	4:39pm DC: The current theme is a classic, and it does carry some of the vibes of the show. Always a good choice. Personally, I like the dramatic stance of the chrysalis, and I agree that every little thing we can do helps right now. So there's a vote for option one!
	4:40pm monicafanya: I vote Sebastian Tellier! I could listen to that every week for sure.
	4:40pm ncjay: and, yes, Back Track for sure! but that wasn't given as an option :)
	4:40pm Brad: Shangri La's YUP
	4:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: My brain goes into a kind of Boom Boom mode when I hear the current theme. Like in really stoked for what will transpire in the next three hours. If there's a new theme, I will adjust accordingly.
	4:40pm ChrisB.: Put me down for The Shangri Las.
	4:40pm Cecile: Write in vote, ncjay
	4:41pm northguineahills: My brain tells me to vote for the Sebastian Tellier, my heart tells me to vote for the Shangri-Las/
	4:42pm djsheilab: Thanks everyone! This feedback is so helpful + GREAT!
	4:42pm BennettCap: I love the track you're already using to open the show. It's feels more like you than the others. It floats sweetly over the airwaves and makes me happy every time I hear it.
	4:43pm JtotheK: @ngh - what about your gut instinct vote?
	4:43pm Adrian in London: I may have to log in with a pseudonym to skew the voting, Russian bot-style!
	4:44pm JtotheK: @sheilaB - how are you tallying the votes? will the results be weighted and then go thru some sort of exponential smoothing?
	4:44pm Adrian in, um, not London: Keep the current theme! ;-)
	4:44pm ncjay: Pussy Riot song is great! another Ricky Reed production?
	4:45pm RomanDogBird: I say stick with the current theme, but would you consider switching it up during the summer perhaps? Like, I could see the Shangri-Las for summer, the current one for the rest of year. I like option 1 as well, especially the way you can segue into a song at the end but I don't know how well it would fit.
	4:45pm coconut Farmer: Saw the shangrala’s back in the 60 something’s at Passaic High School! Gold lame jump suits. Sixteen year old boy’s —- dream. They have my vote.
	4:45pm DC: There have been times I've been driving with coworkers and the show comes on and I say "Hey, this is a great show here, one of my favorites" and during the opening theme I can tell the guys are thinking "Mike, you are weird", and I say "Just trust me, this is awesome." The Tellier is a little bit more of a clear message for people who aren't familiar with the program. I digress. Great single of the week there from Oh Pep!
	4:46pm zak: Original theme all the way! The tinkling harpsichord opens up the soft, sweet part of my heart that your show pours honey on for next three hours!
	4:46pm aubreystal: i love your show opening as is! it is so fitting for all the lady fronted pop music you play. it makes me happy every friday! :)
	4:47pm northguineahills: @JtotheK: Unfortunately, my gut is in pain right now, so, it's not giving me any answers currently.
	4:47pm chris: Pussy Riot still got the political message, don't they? I like the less poppy, more angry stuff, but I'll take it whatever they're putting out!
	4:49pm acid casualty: imvho, Shangri-las all the way.
	4:50pm JtotheK: elsie may rescue, outstanding!
	4:51pm JtotheK: @ngh - augh, sorry to hear that...
	4:51pm Guido from Cologne: remix of Shangri Las loops. ... i could try ...
	4:51pm bjg: Alternate 2 & 3. Don't like first one.
	4:53pm CTEmpress: Elisa May Part 1. Wow...Part 2 just as swinging?
	4:54pm northguineahills: @JtotheK: It's the norm, I can't digest anything properly. Now that I've digested a bit, my gut says the original theme song. Just don't ask my liver, thinking isn't it's strong point, and I need it rested for the weekend.
	4:54pm northguineahills: (it's why I only eat once a day, and I love to eat)
	4:55pm Mark in Toronto: Keep the current theme. The spanish guitar just doesn't work, and the Shangri-las, though i love them, is too obvious.
	4:57pm dale: SHEILA - THIS IS IT - a french version of sophisticated boom boom! www.youtube.com...
	4:57pm northguineahills: dale, always w/ the insightful digging....
	4:58pm Guido from Cologne: Bobbettes?
	4:58pm BennettCap: I love the subtle sound of the small cymbals playing in your theme song. I used to play hand cymbals and lead chants in a devotional chanting guild. Another reason that song brings me joy.
	4:58pm dale: there's also a dead or alive version but i won't go there.
	4:58pm Marc15: Carole King’s “Tapestry” single sleeve has a cat on it
	5:00pm rsj: i would go contrast, maybe Barry White or "Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?" would be a good way to go with an intro, just sayin
	5:01pm Andy in berlin: for atmosphere I have to recommend Barbara Lewis, Hello Stranger
	5:02pm Rob Kopp: It's a thin line between ambient and muzak
	5:02pm mmoore: XO M
	5:02pm Dean: OED on "atmospheric": "Evoking or designed to evoke an atmosphere" OED on the entry for "atmosphere" to which the foregoing refers: "Surrounding mental or moral element, environment. Also, prevailing psychological climate; pervading tone or mood; characteristic mental or moral environment; fascinating or beguiling associations or effects."
	5:04pm Adrian in London: Woah, been looking up Ranny today cos Trouble played her yesterday
	5:05pm dale: gorgeous!
	5:05pm dale: PITNEY!!!
	5:06pm CTEmpress: GENE!!!!
	5:06pm BronwynB: GENE!!!!!!!!!!
	5:06pm dale: love the munster's guitar break
	5:06pm The Contessa: Agreed, Gene Pitney!!!
	5:06pm Cecile: Gene!
	5:06pm BronwynB: I literally just shouted "yes!" in the middle of the office
	5:06pm Guido from Cologne: I try to convince my friends that Gene Pitney was cool and I never succeed.
	5:06pm BronwynB: This is the song that got me into him, too!
	5:07pm ncjay: and the same with me - when it was new
	5:07pm Cecile: Gene Pitney is flamboyantly, over-the-top, uncool. That makes him cool to me.
	5:07pm Rob Kopp: Arjan Plug must be another Dutch listener
	5:07pm DC: What a track from Gene Pitney!
	5:07pm dale: i just posted 'i'm gonna be strong' on a fb music group. didn't know that frankie laine originally recorded it.
	5:07pm The Contessa: @Guido, you need new friends! And you'll find them here…
	5:08pm BronwynB: @Cecile: EXACTLY. It's funny because just a couple of nights ago I had a little epiphany about how all my creative endeavors are super over the top and bombastic I can't get away from it so I just have to embrace it- kind of like being the Gene Pitney of writing/directing
	5:09pm Adrian in London: Oh yeah, these are all right on target. Well done, everyone
	5:09pm Rob Kopp: @Dale: check I'm gonna be strong by Blue Angel featuring Cyndi Lauper
	5:09pm BronwynB: @dale: I didn't know that either and used to laugh at Laine for not doing the crazy 24-beat climbing-the-scale-to-the-high-note thing at the end and then found out Gene decided to add that himself.
	5:09pm frozen_peas: I'm late to the party but Evening Shadows by Seaside Lovers is insanely atmospheric. Lots of Japanese city pop is, so I want to list like 10 others as well, but I'll refrain.
	5:09pm Cecile: That's why I like doo-wop, thrash metal, black metal, and drag.
	5:10pm Stanley: Great track, great film.
	5:11pm DC: This atmospheric idea is off to an outstanding start, these tracks are powerful!
	5:11pm dale: otay rob - thanks!
	5:11pm glenn: probably better than being the gene gotti of writing / directing.
	5:12pm common: happy Friday!
	5:13pm Guido from Cologne: I'm confused: in Germany the title of the movie is "Out of Rosenheim"
	5:13pm Rob Kopp: Luwten! Fantastic
	5:14pm dale: i picked up gene pitney's big 16 at the salvay when i was in college. then started finding his records everywhere and picking up every one i could. i guess the 70s was the right time to pick up 60s rekkids.
	5:14pm glenn: of course, runaway is probably most people's fave gene pitney song, and they don't realize it's a gene pitney song.
	5:14pm Cooh John: Oooooooh. I remember this song when the movie came out. Excellent choice.
	5:16pm northguineahills: Note to self: don't try to save stuff while rubbing my eyes. I might just delete a third of every I've been working on the last few months on the shared drive. Luckily I restored it.
	5:17pm common: whew! ngh
	5:17pm BronwynB: my favorite thing about gene pitney is that he wrote "he's a rebel." he was known for singing other people's melodramatic weepy ballads, and then he wrote a song that's so full of joy.
	5:17pm dale: 'atmoshpheric' made me think of air's moon safari cd and i had to play sexiboy on the youtubes. that song is 20 years old!
	5:19pm Richard from Venezuela: That Luwten's song is good.
	5:19pm BronwynB: my favorite thing about gene pitney is that he wrote "he's a rebel". he was known for singing other people's melodramatic tearjerking ballads, and then he wrote a song that's so full of joy.
	5:19pm dale: gene wrote hello mary lou and rubber ball (bouncy bouncy). don't think he wrote the del shannon hit.
	5:20pm Stephanie: I knew Blue Moon would make an appearance! Not sure if it's in Mystery Train or not but it sure reminds me of that film.
	5:20pm BronwynB: did i post that twice? i am sorry
	5:21pm CTEmpress: Sapphires a def: one of my earliest singles and EP was a nice touch
	5:21pm northguineahills: Thanks common. I had my eyes, closed, and clicked down the data tree like I do hundreds of times and I guess I accidentally deleted everything. It would have been an interesting weekend if I had to camp out at the office if couldn't restore everything (and there were other people's work there too). Time to change the folder permissions (wait, that's my job!)
	5:22pm CTEmpress: Sapphires
	5:22pm Richard from Venezuela: Hello.
	5:23pm special man: I'm out shopping and drinking beer at Netto in Tårnby, Denmark, I'm shopping for my birthday tomorrow and the supermarket is full of exactly the types of bored youths this type of atmospheric music was originally made for, today the only look different and come of a tad more vile. anyway I'm loving this segment and lots of overpriced items are in my shopping trolley because of it
	5:24pm djsheilab: CTEmpress—The Sapphires was one of your picks!
	5:24pm Cecile: I have this album, it's so great.
	5:25pm BronwynB: are the comments not populating for anyone else? am i shouting into the wind? where are you guys :(
	5:26pm Tommy in Neversink: This Mini Ripperton album was one of the few albums I had in the 70s that wasn't rock or jazz
	5:26pm Rob Kopp: Just checking: no comments anymore?
	5:27pm djsheilab: BronwynB—That's happening to me too. I can only see your comments cos I'm logged into the playlist. Is this happening to everyone?
	5:27pm Tommy in Neversink: This Mini Ripperton album was one of the few albums I owned in the 70s that wasn't rock or jazz
	5:27pm listener james from westwood: 10cc is a lock for this category, and that Minnie was gorgeous.
	5:28pm Tommy in Neversink: Where are my comments going ?
	5:28pm northguineahills: I knew this was going to be on this list!
	5:28pm dale: did the comment's board go blewy?
	5:28pm howard in nyc: be quiet; big boys don't cry
	5:28pm Cecile: one of my favorite bands, at least the earlier stuff.
	5:28pm michael z: You can never go wrong with 10CC. A perfect song
	5:28pm Guido from Cologne: ... oh yes ... 10CC ... of course ...
	5:29pm NotARealDoctor: Is the accu broken?
	5:30pm Guido from Cologne: playlist not updating, but display in player is correct
	5:30pm GeorgeSimian: Love this song. Loved the version on the latest Michael Shelley songs of the 70s pledge CD too.
	5:31pm Howard F: Perfect song for me right now! 10cc!!
	5:33pm listener james from westwood: The important thing is we can hear your show!
	5:34pm Dean: My vote's for "Ella Megalast Burls Forever" by Cocteau Twins.
	5:35pm Mark in Toronto: Anything by Julee Cruise, esp. Floating
	5:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope the comments start working in time for Shut Up, Weirdo. That show is pretty comment-heavy.
	5:36pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yesss.
	5:36pm michael z: That Mazzy Star song is perfect too. Thank you listener for picking it.
	5:36pm CTEmpress: OOOH I SOOOO LOVE THIS!!!!
	5:37pm Mark in Toronto: @Glenn, do you mean Runaway by Del Shannon?
	5:37pm ?: what was that last song, please?
	5:37pm Thee BDub: Playing a great set today Sheila!! Just had to tell you!!
	5:37pm dale: yeah, slide guitar in this makes it. sheila, tom rush's 'driving wheel' has atmospheric slide guitar in spades!
	5:38pm Kelly Dustjacket: The last few tracks brought ‘moonchild’ by Stereo Total to my mind.
	5:38pm Dano59: just a thought: a little Anna St. Clair would go down well after Hope Sandoval. I do love this song, finding accurate lyrics online is a longstanding problem.
	5:38pm Rob Kopp: Strange, listening to music without a comment board. Usually no problem, but during SBB I'm missing it!
	5:39pm Dano59: and the title of that Gene Pitney I always thought should be "MECCA!!!"
	5:39pm Rob Kopp: Did Pussy Riot hack WFMU?
	5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Zats, will have to come back later to try to clicky-star Mazzy Star. I rather like this one.
	5:40pm Cooh John: thanks for playing my pick djsheilab!
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: Or did we comment that much that you got the message "No free space left"
	5:41pm BronwynB: Hey Sheila, I know you're the only one who can read this so just want to say I LOVE THIS SONG! :)
	5:42pm NotARealDoctor: I feel like, isn't this someone's outro? I can't think of which DJ uses this towards the end of his/her show...
	5:42pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—It must be too many comments indeed! :)
	5:45pm holly from New Zealand: Oooohhhhh Moon safari is excellent, loved it when it came out, still listen to it regularly! Loving the playlist xx
	5:47pm Thee BDub: Omg My favorite of all time!! Thank You!!
	5:47pm Phillio: Aaah, Gal Costa! I grew up in Brazil for a huge chunk of my childhood. This is one of my favorite songs. Check out Caetano's version of it (old and more recent acoustic)
	5:47pm DC: The atmospheric hour has been so strong, it knocked out the comments board!
	5:47pm ncjay: "nature boy", wow. Annie Haslam does a nice version of this produced by Roy Wood
	5:48pm Cecile: Johnny Hartman also does a beautiful version of this
	5:50pm Guido from Cologne: Eden Ahbez: first ever Hippie?
	5:50pm Guido from Cologne: Of course: Björk!
	5:51pm mandy: God I love bjork.
	5:53pm BennettCap: eden ahbez wrote Nature Boy. Great song and a real trippy dude who wrote it. Check out his music.
	5:54pm Joe Mulligan: Great show Sheila B!
	5:54pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Anyone else's playlist stuck?
	5:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Eek! Done already? Have a good weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving, Sheila.
	5:58pm Adrian in London: Thanks Sheila, that was GREAT!!!
	5:58pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Sheila!
	5:58pm Eugene R.: Shangri-Las, "Sophisticated Boom-boom".
	5:59pm The Contessa: What, we can still comment? Thank you and goodbye! Loved all the atmospheric tracks…
	5:59pm Phillio: "sah-oo-doh-SEES-moh" is how you pronounce the Gal Costa tune (but it's all good, Portuguese is tricky).
	6:01pm ?: what are you playing now?
	6:01pm Guido from Cologne: so long, CU
	6:04pm djsheilab: Thank you everyone! Hope you enjoyed part one of the atmospheric show! And sorry about the comments board issue. Xoxoxo
	2:22pm Miss Georgia Peach: Sebastien Tellier

	3:01pm Guido from Cologne: hello Sheila!
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Atmo-special ahoy!
	3:02pm Guido from Cologne: curious on what it will be
	3:03pm P-90: Konichiwa Sheila-san and Friends!
	3:04pm Wild Neil: LOVING this France Gall!
	3:04pm CTEmpress: Good afternoon all near and far!
	3:04pm Wild Neil: Did you know Blues Traveler has not EVER been played on WFMU? They are 30 this year....
	3:05pm Rob Kopp: Hi Sheila, hello my dear friends.
	3:05pm ncjay: Hi everyone and especially Sheila!
	3:05pm chris: hello, Sheila and all y'all.
	3:05pm JtotheK: hiya sheilaB, hi boom boomers.
	3:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, all. Let's kick this thing into the stratosphere! If we're voting on the opening theme, I'd like to keep the current one, please.
	3:06pm The Contessa: Me too, @Ken FHP
	3:06pm Rob Kopp: 5 years ago Paloma Faith won a Kinks cover contest with Sunny afternoon and was allowed to record the song again in the Konk studio with Ray Davies.
	3:07pm NotARealDoctor: Happy Friday, my fellow SheilaBites! Hi Sheila! My favorite 3 hours of the week right here!
	3:07pm chris: going with Ken FHP on this one: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
	3:07pm doin'whimpets: lovely musical selection as always, sheila. I really don't know why but this song always makes me want to listed to lonely digger...i don't even particularly like that song either
	3:07pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and sophisticates all over the world. Let's get this party started.
	3:07pm BronwynB: hello sheila and everyone!
	3:07pm Wild Neil: Paloma Faith reminds me of Amy Winehouse.
	3:08pm NotARealDoctor: We're voting on the theme? Did I miss an announcement?
	3:08pm CTEmpress: See, Paloma Faith: always something to learn here!
	3:08pm NotARealDoctor: @Wild Neil, I thought it was her until I looked at the Accu!
	3:08pm Cecile: yeah, same here NotaRealDoc
	3:09pm Adrian in London: Eveing all…
	3:09pm NotARealDoctor: And for my 2 cents, I'm quite partial to the current. I've got it on my "Must Aquire" list for my record digging trips!
	3:09pm Wild Neil: I try really hard at these comparisons, so @NotARealDoctor, thank you for self reporting! &Cecile! I guess she has some fancy musical term for having the same...color? timbre? voice as Amy Winehouse?
	3:10pm Cecile: To me Amy seems to sing from the throat more. The notes seem swish around in Paloma's mouth more and she's more sibilant, if that makes any sense.
	3:10pm Wild Neil: Gin Wigmore sounds kinda like AW. A very little.
	3:10pm BabyBear: Oh my, I thought that I was going to have to miss SBB this week, but luckily the office Thanksgiving party didn't go too long. Rejoice!
	3:11pm Cecile: Sorry, I knew Paloma wasn't Amy. I've listened to Amy way too much. I just didn't know about theme voting.
	3:11pm NotARealDoctor: @Cecile, I see where you're coming from, but I kind of attributed that to the variability of Amy's voice depending on her sobriety.
	3:11pm Guido from Cologne: La Verne!
	3:12pm The Oscar: Afternoon Sheila and Boommates!
	3:12pm Cecile: Paloma also has a lot less world weariness.
	3:13pm Scraps deSelby: hey h’lo
	3:13pm Cecile: hell, Leonard Cohen had a lot less world weariness compared to Amy Winehouse.
	3:13pm JtotheK: lavern baker sure has a lot of great 45s.
	3:14pm NotARealDoctor: Poor Amy. God rest her soul. :(
	3:14pm Cecile: I miss that girl every day.
	3:15pm doctorjazz: Hey all, Happy Friday!
	3:15pm djsheilab: Wow....today it's a mult-tasking extravaganza here in Studio A. HELLO!!!! I got lotsa atmosphere for you later this afternoon, when the sun goes down!
	3:15pm Rob Kopp: It's dark here already
	3:16pm Cecile: it's been gloomy all day.
	3:16pm djsheilab: Theme voting coming up as well!
	3:17pm Cecile: Do you want to change your theme song again? I like your theme song. Unless it's getting changed to Hair the Dog by Nazareth. Then, hell yeah, change it.
	3:20pm djsheilab: @Cecile Yeah, I was thinking change might be good. BUT...there's also the option to keep the same theme. Gonna play the three options later in the show.
	3:20pm Adrian in London: Really like this Loma song. Very, uh, atmospheric!
	3:20pm Dave in Leicester: sheila keep the theme it's the sound of the weekend beginning and gives me tingles
	3:22pm NotARealDoctor: I'm open-minded, I want to hear the options. But I definitely love the current theme, so they'll have to be really good...
	3:22pm Cecile: Oh, how I hope I get to vote for Hair of the Dog! I love cognitive dissonance!
	3:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: Today's communiqué had some ideas about the theme song. mailchi.mp...
	3:24pm iambasil: I love this song,I love aaliyah and I love this version and I love you Sheila B for sharing this with us <3
	3:25pm Cecile: I looked at the communique. I love Sophisticated Boom Boom, but it's a little on-the-nose.
	3:26pm The Oscar: I would love to hear a dreamy girl-pop version of "Hair of the Dog."
	3:26pm Cecile: I wonder if this is a nod to Lou Reed's former partner Sylvia? Lou wrote all those "says" songs.
	3:27pm Cecile: Oscar, that needs to happen. Or Babymetal needs to do it.
	3:29pm Adrian in London: Nice to see Kelly Lee Owens' LP getting lots of love in the end-of-year polls.
	3:30pm Cecile: I have to go get the mail, but I am voting for the current theme if you are tallying.
	3:30pm P-90: Haven't even opened today's communique yet, they tend to arrive in a breathless rush shortly before the show starts. Which is kinda cool: if one has a few minutes to read it while actually listening to the show, it's like the radio equivalent of reading the back of the cereal box while gorging on a big bowl of the yummy goodness inside!
	3:31pm Stephanie: "Open ended series" is what I like to hear
	3:38pm matt in Peapack: Just got into my car, tuned in and ready to listen. Hello everyone. Sheila B. You make my drive home from work oh so good. Keep it up!
	3:39pm Neil: Even a tree can shed a tear is a great record. My favourite track is Marianne by GU.
	3:40pm Passaic River Blues: Maki Asakawa's "Shinkyoku B" from her "Cat Nap" album is a gem. Should pull that out again.
	3:40pm doctorjazz: Ella! Louis! DA BEST! (This is an early pairing of them).
	3:41pm Neil: And I thinknk it's the first in a series of Japanese compilations.
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JazzInsights on iTunesU says Louis sang before he played...MamaCass weren't too bad @ this either...
	3:43pm CTEmpress: Tutti Hill!!!!!!
	3:44pm djsheilab: RRNov63—The Mama Cass version is pretty fantastic indeed.
	3:44pm The Oscar: It's funny-- a lot of albums for me are tied to the period of time my parents happened to have the cassette in their cars. That Ella/Louie is my mom's car, December of (I believe) 1992.
	3:44pm Neil: I love Maki Asakawa but it's hard to get her records in the UK.
	3:45pm doctorjazz: If I remember correctly, there were 2 famous Verve albums Louie and Ella made in the mid 50's, this was from a session a few years earlier.
	3:45pm Number Six: Hello, Sheila B. & All!
	3:45pm djsheilab: Neil—Honest Jons did a reissue that's worth picking up. I'm pretty sure it was only released in the UK.
	3:46pm Thee KeeKee: Listening from Palm Springs!
	3:47pm northguineahills: Contemporary lovers rock?!!
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thee KeeKee—You lucky gal! Hello Palm Springs!
	3:49pm CTEmpress: I see Tutti Hill on ARock and Kent....hmmm and Hi TheeKeeKee it's chilly here!
	3:49pm djsheilab: CTEmpress—Kent just reissued it on 45.
	3:50pm CTEmpress: So I see: every home should have one and now can! :)
	3:50pm Monica: loving this new invisible minds, mizz b!
	3:50pm steveo: hello dj sheila b; happy to be listening
	3:51pm Neil: Hi Sheila. Yes they did and its great but if you want to dig deeper it will cost. Lucky for me ,my son lives in Japan so I picked 4 albums up when I visited .
	3:51pm NotARealDoctor: This is fantastic. I'm going to have to pick this up.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Neil—Ah yes! A deep digger :)
	3:52pm djsheilab: Hey Monica! Quite lovely sounds on that one, right?
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...reminded of Cesaria Evora...which is welcome indeed...
	3:58pm dale: hello sheila - your program has the best block of music on the radio hands down. the opening of this anne peebles reminded me of babs 'i am a woman in love' (yes, it is a guilty pleasure but anything written by the bee gees is).
	3:59pm Cecile: I have this song, but I seem to remember this being a lot more rough than it sounded today.
	3:59pm northguineahills: It's your show, I don't want my subjective experience to influence what you do. Whatever you do, we'll love it!
	4:02pm TDK60: Haven't been here at this show in a while. Groovin'...
	4:03pm northguineahills: I listen to all of my records from beginning to end. And at least once a day, I listen to one or four of my recs in alphabetical order (more on the weekends). The last time it took me 8+ years to finish.
	4:03pm CTEmpress: Holy Moly this Shirley Ellis is outta sight! WOW killer
	4:03pm Rob Kopp: @TDK60: must have been in the cassette time!
	4:04pm ncjay: this Shirley is truly fine, an instant favorite!
	4:05pm Cecile: this might not be a bad theme...
	4:06pm djsheilab: ncjay + CTEmpress—I was blown away by the Shirley Ellis track too. A real gem!
	4:06pm ncjay: heh. I was thinking the same thing, Cecile!
	4:07pm Cecile: high fives ncjay
	4:07pm CTEmpress: Truly. And this Tina Tott is nice but Shirley DANG
	4:08pm listener james from westwood: w00t! "Grease" is the word!
	4:08pm NotARealDoctor: ELECTRIFYING!
	4:08pm steveo: oh, my ur-child hears this one loud and clear
	4:08pm Cecile: I must be the only person in the world who didn't dig this or the soundtrack.
	4:08pm Dennis Diken: highly diggable show Sheila!
	4:08pm BronwynB: having recently binge watched american crime story, im picturing john travolta as robert shapiro singing this and it's a great mental image
	4:09pm Cecile: My cousin took me to it the weekend it opened.
	4:09pm BronwynB: @Cecile: I can meet you halfway. Don't like Grease, but love this song.
	4:09pm Asheville Jon: it's OLIVIA NEUTRON BOMB!!
	4:09pm listener james from westwood: I saw this film when I was, what, 9, and I might have been juuuust a bit young for it.
	4:09pm BennettCap: This is a karaoke priority.
	4:09pm Cecile: Bronwyn, is that one good? I just finished Mindhunter - excellent.
	4:09pm steveo: lol Bronwyn
	4:10pm dale: grease made me have a crush on stockard channing.
	4:10pm listener james from westwood: One New Year's Eve ages ago, one of the basic cable stations played this with the lyrics along the bottom. They followed it w/ Blues Brothers. Fucking amazing musical night.
	4:10pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Good morning/evening!
	4:10pm Cecile: Hairspray (the original) gave me that Grease feeling. And all the songs were actual records.
	4:11pm BronwynB: @Cecile: Yes! But I am so addicted to true crime shows I even watched the silly Law and Order about the Menendez Bros and now I have nothing to feed my addiction until American Crime Story: Versace comes out ;(
	4:11pm Cecile: I literally squeed when Alaska won Drag Race All Stars wearing the bug dress from Hairspray.
	4:12pm Cecile: I have to watch that Law and Order one, it looks History Channel Houdini movie crazy.
	4:12pm BennettCap: Stockard Channing was in her 30s playing a teenage girl. The woman who played Marty, another Pink Lady, was only 19.
	4:12pm BronwynB: Except I just googled Mindhunter and that one looks great, thanks Cecile :D
	4:13pm northguineahills: Wow, this is on Ninja Tune! Rather poppy for them!
	4:13pm BronwynB: @Cecile: it is so fun. Edie Falco is great, and the contrast between the dull underacting of the guy playing the older brother and the wild overacting of the guy playing the younger brother is endlessly fascinating. And there's a crazy therapist who puts Dr. Landy to shame!
	4:13pm djsheilab: BennettCap—I think that's what I loved about Rizzo. She was truly knowing :)
	4:14pm Cecile: It is amazing, and I don't generally like stuff that stylized. It's set in 1977 and they only made a couple of music mistakes.
	4:15pm Cecile: Bronwyn, I can truly say I despise everyone involved with that case, but still follow it. It's such a trainwreck.
	4:15pm dale: i know stockard was 'up there.' i liked older women then.
	4:15pm BronwynB: haha, i love good music supervision! musical anachronisms always drive me insane. like i love the movie pirate radio but still haven't forgiven it for using "father and son" in "1966"
	4:16pm DC: Hello all! SBB sounding great, really enjoyed that Nabihah Iqbal, and this Oddnesse now too! Glad to tune in
	4:16pm Cecile: I KNOW. Someone told me about the Stranger Things metal mixtape and half of the stuff wasn't even recorded close to the 80s
	4:16pm Cecile: or metal
	4:17pm BronwynB: @Cecile: yeah, even the victims in that case were awful. the show is very sympathetic towards the brothers and their defense attorney, which is odd but definitely a bold tack to take, and definitely distinguishes it from american crime story where it was pretty clear they thought OJ did it and marcia clark/chris darden were the heroes (although johnnie cochran is kind of an antihero)
	4:17pm markr: This Oddnesse track is really dreamy and beautiful.
	4:17pm Guido from Cologne: clicky star 4 Oddnesse
	4:17pm BronwynB: i have a lot of opinions about true crime shows
	4:17pm markr: Oh gosh this Liz Phair track is such a deep favorite of mine!
	4:18pm djsheilab: markr + Guido from Cologne—Check out her latest single "I Used To." It's even better! And name-drops Whitesnake :)
	4:18pm markr: OK!
	4:18pm Cecile: Oy, Marcia and Chris. they botched that case pretty hard.
	4:19pm steveo: liz phair so great
	4:19pm Jeff Moore: Wow, this Liz Phair record was in heavy rotation chez moi lo these many decades ago, then I let it drop out of sight. Thanks for the reminder!
	4:19pm Passaic River Blues: @BronwynB: any other recommendations? I am tempted to rewatch the Helen Mirren-era "Prime Suspect" series, but am thinking I should hold off.
	4:20pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: Seoul is a cool city, I'm planning a visit there next spring maybe...
	4:20pm markr: Moi aussi, Jeff!
	4:20pm The Oscar: @steveo Ditto. Love the Girlysound version of this song too-- very different, with fake airline announcements.
	4:20pm BronwynB: I loved Liz Phair's "Why Can't I" when I was 10. Then as an adult I fell in love with Exile in Guyville. Then a few years later I found out it was the same person and was like "wtf". And I read the reviews for her pop album in '04 and felt terrible because everyone hated it and said it was her downfall and I loved it...but it was targeted towards little girls, or at least the single was, and apparently it worked. I used to jump up and down on my bed singing it into my hairbrush.
	4:20pm Cecile: PRB, did you ever watch the British State of Play series? It's more about journalism but there is a ton of crime in it.
	4:21pm Cecile: I kind of missed all the phases of Liz Phair.
	4:21pm markr: OK I dared step away from your fantastic radio program long enough to check out "I Used To" and you're correct, Ms. B., it's wonderful.
	4:22pm BronwynB: never mind, that album with "Why Can't I" was in '03 and I was 9
	4:22pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: I have not and will do so. Thank you!
	4:23pm markr: Suda Chuenbarn is a fabulous lunatic!
	4:23pm Passaic River Blues: Holy God, I am loving Thai "Funky Broadway".
	4:23pm JtotheK: whoa. FUNKY broadway. Nice!
	4:23pm Cecile: it is a cracker. Have you watched the British Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes? They are two shows that tie into each other. mars was way more popular, but Ashes was also excellent.
	4:24pm chris: Funky Broadway, baby!
	4:25pm JtotheK: @bronwynB, cecile - thanks for the reminder about Mindhunter. it's on the (never-ending) list of shows and movies i want to check out.
	4:25pm Cecile: and they are cop shows.
	4:26pm The Oscar: @Bronwyn I had a similar experience-- thanks to the weirdness of the filesharing era, the first Liz Phair I heard was the Girlysound tapes. I tried describing it to friends who only knew the '00s pop stuff, and we were literally convinced we were talking about two different artists!
	4:27pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: I haven't even heard of those. I generally like straight-forward police procedurals but, based on your heads-up, I should check them out.
	4:28pm BennettCap: "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" sums up the character of Rizzo. She had a good heart under all that cool. Thanks for the music, Sheila. You are "truly knowing".
	4:28pm northguineahills: There was another Tennis that sounds similar to the Tennis you played that was around 10 years earlier.
	4:29pm Cecile: They are both SFish, suspenseful and procedurals as well.
	4:29pm howard in nyc: doing something-and-run, right?
	4:30pm DC: * and run is an incredible track
	4:30pm Cecile: funk and run
	4:30pm Bill W: I saw Liz Phair at CBGB as well! She was very nervous but charming.
	4:31pm Dean: Olivia Newton-John, granddaughter of one of the big-shots of quantum theory, Max Born.
	4:31pm dale: my wife loves xanadu and made me watch it with her. i think i fell asleep.
	4:31pm Cecile: I was 17 when it came out.
	4:32pm The Oscar: Now I'm imagining a Match Game episode about Liz Phair lyrics.
	4:32pm BennettCap: @Dale I loved Xanadu!
	4:32pm Cecile: I saw Xanadu in the theatre. It was a mess, but there were a couple of crazy and kinda good Jeff Lynne productions on there.
	4:34pm frozen_peas: If'n I ever had a radio show, the theme song would definitely be Ottawan's "Crazy Music for Crazy People" & would also be the name of the show.
	4:34pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: Yeah Sheila, totally feel ya, we've got too much yang & need more yin
	4:35pm dale: i tried bennett.
	4:35pm The Contessa: Nope, @Sheila, it's not a theme song…
	4:35pm Cecile: I vote no for an opener, but maybe a closer.
	4:35pm Adrian in London: It's a great track but it's not a theme song
	4:35pm dale: i was gonna ask why not just go with the shangri-las song?
	4:35pm The Contessa: Better but still no for this one
	4:35pm NotARealDoctor: I like the first one, but it's not a weekly opener
	4:36pm Cecile: I love this song, but it's too on the nose.
	4:36pm Cecile: So far it's either Back Track or the current opener
	4:36pm DC: To be honest, I really like option one for a theme
	4:36pm CTEmpress: I like that idea Cecile!
	4:36pm Syl: No on the first one, yes on the second one
	4:37pm drowsy: OK, so the first one could be the entry, but the second for bumpers!
	4:37pm GeorgeSimian: The first one is OK, but I don't want to hear it every week. I vote for this Shangri-las
	4:37pm The Contessa: That's the one!
	4:37pm Van Redriksen: The namesake song, you must!
	4:37pm Guido from Cologne: First option doesn't work as a theme song.
	4:37pm NotARealDoctor: Nothing wrong with on the nose. One of our local radio stations has a show called Saturday Night Fish Fry, and it opens with the song of the same name every Saturday Night.
	4:37pm doin'whimpets: either 2 or 3 for me
	4:37pm listener james from westwood: Boom-boom, current opener, girl/gun.
	4:37pm drowsy: This one could be the outro.
	4:37pm Joe Mulligan: I like either the song of the show's name or the existing intro
	4:37pm Cecile: This one, maybe alternating with back track.
	4:37pm northguineahills: Crap, it's only 3 o'clock! sobs
	4:37pm Adrian in London: Yay! This is the best theme song! Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo-dooo
	4:38pm Rob Kopp: For me it's 2 or 3 as well. Getting so used to it by now
	4:38pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: I like #2 or the current opener.
	4:38pm kelly: Hi, Sheila B! If you're definitely going to change, I'd vote for the Sophisticated Boom Boom song (I admire the sentiment behind the 1st one, but as a listener, it might be kind of trying to listen to every week). STaying w/ the current one would also be fine. Thanks for all of your great music!!
	4:38pm GeorgeSimian: Hard not to go for the old one. At this point it's like smelling fried chicken and getting hungry.
	4:38pm drewo: Like the Shangri-LaLas!
	4:38pm Dano59: I like 'em all Sheila! (who does he original theme again?)
	4:38pm CTEmpress: I am kinda liking the namesake
	4:38pm iambasil: exile in guyville is one of the greatest records ever recorded in history.
	4:38pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: I still like the current theme, the Japanese in it adds an air of inscrutability
	4:38pm krissy b: #2 #2!!
	4:38pm Scraps deSelby: I love option 1. It’s great, period. On the other hand, that’s one of my favorite three Shangri-Las song for more than thirty years.....
	4:38pm Dano59: PS I need that Sebastian Tellier.
	4:38pm listener james from westwood: Tbh I whistle your current theme to myself between episodes, so honestly if the Shangri-Las don't win, this is evergreen!
	4:38pm Syl: Shangri-Las
	4:38pm BabyBear: Same! Keep it the same
	4:38pm NotARealDoctor: The original is still my favorite, but Shangri-Lalas is a great backup or end theme.
	4:38pm drowsy: recap: speech for opener. boom-boom for bumpers. current-opener as the outro between DJs Thanks for letting us weigh in!
	4:39pm JasonInBoston: Chrysalis is AMAZING! In my opinion-waaaay to heavy and topical though. Sophisticated Boom Boom is great but pigeon-holes the time period. The current theme is groovy 60s but sounds fresh and contemporary at the same time. It's also indicative of the vairety. I say keep this one. I get a little chill of excitement whenever I hear it. Also-it's the most SOPHISTICATED-sounding of all songs, in my opinion.
	4:39pm Guido from Cologne: the Sophisticated Boom Boom instrumental track would be great. You could talk over it.
	4:39pm ncjay: Existing opening song yes, "SBB" maybe, Sebastian Tellier no. I agree with the poster above that the existing opener is the best beginning to the weekend I could ask for.
	4:39pm peter_aitch: number 2 opener, number 3 closer
	4:39pm Cecile: 1. Back Track - Shirley Ellis 2. Current opener 3. Nazareth Hair of the Dog done by a j-pop band
	4:39pm JtotheK: yeah, my vote is 'existing/current theme' though Boom Boom is a close second.
	4:39pm kev: I agree Shangri las
	4:39pm DC: The current theme is a classic, and it does carry some of the vibes of the show. Always a good choice. Personally, I like the dramatic stance of the chrysalis, and I agree that every little thing we can do helps right now. So there's a vote for option one!
	4:40pm monicafanya: I vote Sebastian Tellier! I could listen to that every week for sure.
	4:40pm ncjay: and, yes, Back Track for sure! but that wasn't given as an option :)
	4:40pm Brad: Shangri La's YUP
	4:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: My brain goes into a kind of Boom Boom mode when I hear the current theme. Like in really stoked for what will transpire in the next three hours. If there's a new theme, I will adjust accordingly.
	4:40pm ChrisB.: Put me down for The Shangri Las.
	4:40pm Cecile: Write in vote, ncjay
	4:41pm northguineahills: My brain tells me to vote for the Sebastian Tellier, my heart tells me to vote for the Shangri-Las/
	4:42pm djsheilab: Thanks everyone! This feedback is so helpful + GREAT!
	4:42pm BennettCap: I love the track you're already using to open the show. It's feels more like you than the others. It floats sweetly over the airwaves and makes me happy every time I hear it.
	4:43pm JtotheK: @ngh - what about your gut instinct vote?
	4:43pm Adrian in London: I may have to log in with a pseudonym to skew the voting, Russian bot-style!
	4:44pm JtotheK: @sheilaB - how are you tallying the votes? will the results be weighted and then go thru some sort of exponential smoothing?
	4:44pm Adrian in, um, not London: Keep the current theme! ;-)
	4:44pm ncjay: Pussy Riot song is great! another Ricky Reed production?
	4:45pm RomanDogBird: I say stick with the current theme, but would you consider switching it up during the summer perhaps? Like, I could see the Shangri-Las for summer, the current one for the rest of year. I like option 1 as well, especially the way you can segue into a song at the end but I don't know how well it would fit.
	4:45pm coconut Farmer: Saw the shangrala’s back in the 60 something’s at Passaic High School! Gold lame jump suits. Sixteen year old boy’s —- dream. They have my vote.
	4:45pm DC: There have been times I've been driving with coworkers and the show comes on and I say "Hey, this is a great show here, one of my favorites" and during the opening theme I can tell the guys are thinking "Mike, you are weird", and I say "Just trust me, this is awesome." The Tellier is a little bit more of a clear message for people who aren't familiar with the program. I digress. Great single of the week there from Oh Pep!
	4:46pm zak: Original theme all the way! The tinkling harpsichord opens up the soft, sweet part of my heart that your show pours honey on for next three hours!
	4:46pm aubreystal: i love your show opening as is! it is so fitting for all the lady fronted pop music you play. it makes me happy every friday! :)
	4:47pm northguineahills: @JtotheK: Unfortunately, my gut is in pain right now, so, it's not giving me any answers currently.
	4:47pm chris: Pussy Riot still got the political message, don't they? I like the less poppy, more angry stuff, but I'll take it whatever they're putting out!
	4:49pm acid casualty: imvho, Shangri-las all the way.
	4:50pm JtotheK: elsie may rescue, outstanding!
	4:51pm JtotheK: @ngh - augh, sorry to hear that...
	4:51pm Guido from Cologne: remix of Shangri Las loops. ... i could try ...
	4:51pm bjg: Alternate 2 & 3. Don't like first one.
	4:53pm CTEmpress: Elisa May Part 1. Wow...Part 2 just as swinging?
	4:54pm northguineahills: @JtotheK: It's the norm, I can't digest anything properly. Now that I've digested a bit, my gut says the original theme song. Just don't ask my liver, thinking isn't it's strong point, and I need it rested for the weekend.
	4:54pm northguineahills: (it's why I only eat once a day, and I love to eat)
	4:55pm Mark in Toronto: Keep the current theme. The spanish guitar just doesn't work, and the Shangri-las, though i love them, is too obvious.
	4:57pm dale: SHEILA - THIS IS IT - a french version of sophisticated boom boom! www.youtube.com...
	4:57pm northguineahills: dale, always w/ the insightful digging....
	4:58pm Guido from Cologne: Bobbettes?
	4:58pm BennettCap: I love the subtle sound of the small cymbals playing in your theme song. I used to play hand cymbals and lead chants in a devotional chanting guild. Another reason that song brings me joy.
	4:58pm dale: there's also a dead or alive version but i won't go there.
	4:58pm Marc15: Carole King’s “Tapestry” single sleeve has a cat on it
	5:00pm rsj: i would go contrast, maybe Barry White or "Mommy, What's a Funkadelic?" would be a good way to go with an intro, just sayin
	5:01pm Andy in berlin: for atmosphere I have to recommend Barbara Lewis, Hello Stranger
	5:02pm Rob Kopp: It's a thin line between ambient and muzak
	5:02pm mmoore: XO M
	5:02pm Dean: OED on "atmospheric": "Evoking or designed to evoke an atmosphere" OED on the entry for "atmosphere" to which the foregoing refers: "Surrounding mental or moral element, environment. Also, prevailing psychological climate; pervading tone or mood; characteristic mental or moral environment; fascinating or beguiling associations or effects."
	5:04pm Adrian in London: Woah, been looking up Ranny today cos Trouble played her yesterday
	5:05pm dale: gorgeous!
	5:05pm dale: PITNEY!!!
	5:06pm CTEmpress: GENE!!!!
	5:06pm BronwynB: GENE!!!!!!!!!!
	5:06pm dale: love the munster's guitar break
	5:06pm The Contessa: Agreed, Gene Pitney!!!
	5:06pm Cecile: Gene!
	5:06pm BronwynB: I literally just shouted "yes!" in the middle of the office
	5:06pm Guido from Cologne: I try to convince my friends that Gene Pitney was cool and I never succeed.
	5:06pm BronwynB: This is the song that got me into him, too!
	5:07pm ncjay: and the same with me - when it was new
	5:07pm Cecile: Gene Pitney is flamboyantly, over-the-top, uncool. That makes him cool to me.
	5:07pm Rob Kopp: Arjan Plug must be another Dutch listener
	5:07pm DC: What a track from Gene Pitney!
	5:07pm dale: i just posted 'i'm gonna be strong' on a fb music group. didn't know that frankie laine originally recorded it.
	5:07pm The Contessa: @Guido, you need new friends! And you'll find them here…
	5:08pm BronwynB: @Cecile: EXACTLY. It's funny because just a couple of nights ago I had a little epiphany about how all my creative endeavors are super over the top and bombastic I can't get away from it so I just have to embrace it- kind of like being the Gene Pitney of writing/directing
	5:09pm Adrian in London: Oh yeah, these are all right on target. Well done, everyone
	5:09pm Rob Kopp: @Dale: check I'm gonna be strong by Blue Angel featuring Cyndi Lauper
	5:09pm BronwynB: @dale: I didn't know that either and used to laugh at Laine for not doing the crazy 24-beat climbing-the-scale-to-the-high-note thing at the end and then found out Gene decided to add that himself.
	5:09pm frozen_peas: I'm late to the party but Evening Shadows by Seaside Lovers is insanely atmospheric. Lots of Japanese city pop is, so I want to list like 10 others as well, but I'll refrain.
	5:09pm Cecile: That's why I like doo-wop, thrash metal, black metal, and drag.
	5:10pm Stanley: Great track, great film.
	5:11pm DC: This atmospheric idea is off to an outstanding start, these tracks are powerful!
	5:11pm dale: otay rob - thanks!
	5:11pm glenn: probably better than being the gene gotti of writing / directing.
	5:12pm common: happy Friday!
	5:13pm Guido from Cologne: I'm confused: in Germany the title of the movie is "Out of Rosenheim"
	5:13pm Rob Kopp: Luwten! Fantastic
	5:14pm dale: i picked up gene pitney's big 16 at the salvay when i was in college. then started finding his records everywhere and picking up every one i could. i guess the 70s was the right time to pick up 60s rekkids.
	5:14pm glenn: of course, runaway is probably most people's fave gene pitney song, and they don't realize it's a gene pitney song.
	5:14pm Cooh John: Oooooooh. I remember this song when the movie came out. Excellent choice.
	5:16pm northguineahills: Note to self: don't try to save stuff while rubbing my eyes. I might just delete a third of every I've been working on the last few months on the shared drive. Luckily I restored it.
	5:17pm common: whew! ngh
	5:17pm BronwynB: my favorite thing about gene pitney is that he wrote "he's a rebel." he was known for singing other people's melodramatic weepy ballads, and then he wrote a song that's so full of joy.
	5:17pm dale: 'atmoshpheric' made me think of air's moon safari cd and i had to play sexiboy on the youtubes. that song is 20 years old!
	5:19pm Richard from Venezuela: That Luwten's song is good.
	5:19pm BronwynB: my favorite thing about gene pitney is that he wrote "he's a rebel". he was known for singing other people's melodramatic tearjerking ballads, and then he wrote a song that's so full of joy.
	5:19pm dale: gene wrote hello mary lou and rubber ball (bouncy bouncy). don't think he wrote the del shannon hit.
	5:20pm Stephanie: I knew Blue Moon would make an appearance! Not sure if it's in Mystery Train or not but it sure reminds me of that film.
	5:20pm BronwynB: did i post that twice? i am sorry
	5:21pm CTEmpress: Sapphires a def: one of my earliest singles and EP was a nice touch
	5:21pm northguineahills: Thanks common. I had my eyes, closed, and clicked down the data tree like I do hundreds of times and I guess I accidentally deleted everything. It would have been an interesting weekend if I had to camp out at the office if couldn't restore everything (and there were other people's work there too). Time to change the folder permissions (wait, that's my job!)
	5:22pm CTEmpress: Sapphires
	5:22pm Richard from Venezuela: Hello.
	5:23pm special man: I'm out shopping and drinking beer at Netto in Tårnby, Denmark, I'm shopping for my birthday tomorrow and the supermarket is full of exactly the types of bored youths this type of atmospheric music was originally made for, today the only look different and come of a tad more vile. anyway I'm loving this segment and lots of overpriced items are in my shopping trolley because of it
	5:24pm djsheilab: CTEmpress—The Sapphires was one of your picks!
	5:24pm Cecile: I have this album, it's so great.
	5:25pm BronwynB: are the comments not populating for anyone else? am i shouting into the wind? where are you guys :(
	5:26pm Tommy in Neversink: This Mini Ripperton album was one of the few albums I had in the 70s that wasn't rock or jazz
	5:26pm Rob Kopp: Just checking: no comments anymore?
	5:27pm djsheilab: BronwynB—That's happening to me too. I can only see your comments cos I'm logged into the playlist. Is this happening to everyone?
	5:27pm Tommy in Neversink: This Mini Ripperton album was one of the few albums I owned in the 70s that wasn't rock or jazz
	5:27pm listener james from westwood: 10cc is a lock for this category, and that Minnie was gorgeous.
	5:28pm Tommy in Neversink: Where are my comments going ?
	5:28pm northguineahills: I knew this was going to be on this list!
	5:28pm dale: did the comment's board go blewy?
	5:28pm howard in nyc: be quiet; big boys don't cry
	5:28pm Cecile: one of my favorite bands, at least the earlier stuff.
	5:28pm michael z: You can never go wrong with 10CC. A perfect song
	5:28pm Guido from Cologne: ... oh yes ... 10CC ... of course ...
	5:29pm NotARealDoctor: Is the accu broken?
	5:30pm Guido from Cologne: playlist not updating, but display in player is correct
	5:30pm GeorgeSimian: Love this song. Loved the version on the latest Michael Shelley songs of the 70s pledge CD too.
	5:31pm Howard F: Perfect song for me right now! 10cc!!
	5:33pm listener james from westwood: The important thing is we can hear your show!
	5:34pm Dean: My vote's for "Ella Megalast Burls Forever" by Cocteau Twins.
	5:35pm Mark in Toronto: Anything by Julee Cruise, esp. Floating
	5:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope the comments start working in time for Shut Up, Weirdo. That show is pretty comment-heavy.
	5:36pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yesss.
	5:36pm michael z: That Mazzy Star song is perfect too. Thank you listener for picking it.
	5:36pm CTEmpress: OOOH I SOOOO LOVE THIS!!!!
	5:37pm Mark in Toronto: @Glenn, do you mean Runaway by Del Shannon?
	5:37pm ?: what was that last song, please?
	5:37pm Thee BDub: Playing a great set today Sheila!! Just had to tell you!!
	5:37pm dale: yeah, slide guitar in this makes it. sheila, tom rush's 'driving wheel' has atmospheric slide guitar in spades!
	5:38pm Kelly Dustjacket: The last few tracks brought ‘moonchild’ by Stereo Total to my mind.
	5:38pm Dano59: just a thought: a little Anna St. Clair would go down well after Hope Sandoval. I do love this song, finding accurate lyrics online is a longstanding problem.
	5:38pm Rob Kopp: Strange, listening to music without a comment board. Usually no problem, but during SBB I'm missing it!
	5:39pm Dano59: and the title of that Gene Pitney I always thought should be "MECCA!!!"
	5:39pm Rob Kopp: Did Pussy Riot hack WFMU?
	5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Zats, will have to come back later to try to clicky-star Mazzy Star. I rather like this one.
	5:40pm Cooh John: thanks for playing my pick djsheilab!
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: Or did we comment that much that you got the message "No free space left"
	5:41pm BronwynB: Hey Sheila, I know you're the only one who can read this so just want to say I LOVE THIS SONG! :)
	5:42pm NotARealDoctor: I feel like, isn't this someone's outro? I can't think of which DJ uses this towards the end of his/her show...
	5:42pm djsheilab: Rob Kopp—It must be too many comments indeed! :)
	5:45pm holly from New Zealand: Oooohhhhh Moon safari is excellent, loved it when it came out, still listen to it regularly! Loving the playlist xx
	5:47pm Thee BDub: Omg My favorite of all time!! Thank You!!
	5:47pm Phillio: Aaah, Gal Costa! I grew up in Brazil for a huge chunk of my childhood. This is one of my favorite songs. Check out Caetano's version of it (old and more recent acoustic)
	5:47pm DC: The atmospheric hour has been so strong, it knocked out the comments board!
	5:47pm ncjay: "nature boy", wow. Annie Haslam does a nice version of this produced by Roy Wood

	5:50pm Guido from Cologne: Of course: Björk!
	5:51pm mandy: God I love bjork.

	5:59pm The Contessa: What, we can still comment? Thank you and goodbye! Loved all the atmospheric tracks…
	5:59pm Phillio: "sah-oo-doh-SEES-moh" is how you pronounce the Gal Costa tune (but it's all good, Portuguese is tricky).
	6:01pm ?: what are you playing now?
	6:01pm Guido from Cologne: so long, CU
	6:04pm djsheilab: Thank you everyone! Hope you enjoyed part one of the atmospheric show! And sorry about the comments board issue. Xoxoxo
