	3:05pm Brendan: Hi yall . Diggin this feel good pop in the home stretch!
	3:05pm Rob Kopp: @Threemoons: I already know him since 2001, when I did one of his songwriting courses. And we had him on our Dutch Kinks convention in 2009.
	3:05pm Brian Cat: Rob That's amazing. He seems like a difficult guy to track down. I love the old Kinks from the 70s.
	3:05pm djsheilab: Ooooh! So many of you here with me right on time! Hello!
	3:05pm Leonardo: Been so long I forgot how to spell Sheila.
	3:06pm Threemoons: @RobKoop wow! Very kewl.
	3:06pm eyenoise: Hello @djsheilab!
	3:07pm Brian Cat: This song is very cute, excellent.
	3:07pm Rob Kopp: @ Brian Cat: usually he is. He never turns up on the sing alongs (the evenings before the official konvention on Sunday), but this time he stayed for an hour on Friday evening!
	3:09pm Brian Cat: Does the band perform at the konvention, or is that a fan gathering?
	3:10pm Cooh John: Days of the week theme?
	3:10pm djsheilab: eyenoise! Leonardo! Brian Cat! Rob Kopp! The Contessa! Adrian in London! Brendan! Cooh John! northguineahills! rsj! Threemoons! Guido from Cologne! Michael 98145! pantz! Listener James! ncay! Thank you all for being here :)
	3:11pm Rob Kopp: On the sing alongs it's a band that consists of fans (this time 17!), on the conventions it's The Kast Off Kinks (with Mock Avory, John Dalton, Ian Gibbons) and this time ray sang along on You really got me.
	3:12pm melinda: I love Bobbie.
	3:12pm pantz: I look forward to this week's installment of Atmospheric Songs!
	3:12pm djsheilab: Leonardo—it's far too warm here for snow, thankfully!
	3:13pm Brian Cat: Very kool.
	3:13pm Michael 98145: Go deep. deep back in time. ... just grey skies here
	3:13pm djsheilab: melinda—she's just so comforting, right? And what an intimate vocal.
	3:13pm Leonardo: This is a whirlpool of honey.
	3:14pm michael z: Tuesday Child belongs in the atmospheric portion of the show. It’s so gorgeous. She’s an amazing artist.
	3:14pm Brendan: Two of my favorite djs Joe and Sheila bookend the week and so many others in between and on the weekend. Wow. Gotta pinch myself every now and then since I found this station.
	3:14pm The Contessa: Bobbie! Lovely!
	3:15pm Michael 98145: - almost all i listen to is FMU
	3:15pm Rob Kopp: Thanks for playing Nolan Strong & The Diablos - The wind last week, Sheila. Wow. 4 people with the same recommendation.
	3:16pm Joe McG: Thanks for the shout-out, Brendan, and thank you, Sheila, for playing Bobbie Gentry just now, one of my all-time favorite singers ever. Her voice leapt out of the radio at me...in a good way!
	3:16pm djsheilab: Michael Z—she's truly in a league of her own!
	3:16pm dale: just pulled up a cup of tee and all set to snuggle in.
	3:16pm eyenoise: @djsheilab: asking your take on a couple of artists: Caroline Polachek (ex-Chairlift) who kinda stole the show at the John Cale VU&Nico 50th Anniversary Concert; and Pip Blom, who did a terrific BBC6 session this week.
	3:17pm Michael 98145: tea. check.
	3:17pm djsheilab: Joe McG—You also voted for the Nolan Strong & the Diablos track, right? So that's five votes!
	3:17pm michael z: Is David Bowie’s sublime Thursday’s Child next?
	3:18pm Adrian in London: I am a Wednesday's child. And I like Emiliana Torrini. So there you go…
	3:18pm Joe McG: @sheilab: I sure did! One of my atmospheric musts!
	3:18pm listener james from westwood: Torrini track would've been a good atmospheric option, too!
	3:20pm djsheilab: Thursday is not a popular music day.
	3:20pm Guido from Cologne: Emiliana Torrini "Wednesday's Child" from album "Love In The Time Of Science"
	3:21pm Michael 98145: just say no to puberty
	3:21pm harold fridkis: i've been listening to SOPHISTICATED BOOM BOOM for a year now. it's the best!
	3:21pm listener james from westwood: YLT!
	3:21pm northguineahills: YLT!!!
	3:22pm Brian Cat: Nilsson Thursday is a Crazy Lazy Day, amazing track from Sandman.
	3:22pm Dave from TPG: Classic Georgia
	3:22pm NotARealDoctor: This is great! Thanks for always improving my Friday, Sheila! Happy Friday, everyone!
	3:23pm Adrian in London: I LOVE this version of Friday I'm In Love.
	3:23pm michael z: Thank you. New Jersey at its best.
	3:23pm djsheilab: Brian Cat—I don't know that one! Thanks for the tip.
	3:23pm herb.nyc: Hi Sheila. Will tune in in a bit. Grand Funk R cd on, bec Clay Pigeon is here. Uh, former is true while latter is not.
	3:24pm northguineahills: James beat me due to my extra due exclamation points.
	3:24pm listener james from westwood: This song always reminds me of a long-ago ex. Weirdly, more this version than the Cure's, even though that band helped bring us together.
	3:24pm Rob Kopp: They've done a lot of Kinks covers: Big sky, Fancy, This is where I belong, Oklahoma USA, No return and accompanied Ray Davies in New York in 2000
	3:24pm Brendan: I knew we had to get to this track this day- yay
	3:25pm TehBadDr: Hi Sheila and boomers! Wonderful Cure cover.
	3:25pm doctorjazz: YLT!!!!! (a real slow poke).
	3:26pm djsheilab: doctorjazz—viva late bloomers + slow pokes!
	3:26pm Michael 98145: now we're cookin with gas
	3:27pm Brendan: Please don’t reach for the Lionel Ritchie as the closer!
	3:29pm The Oscar: TWIST ENDING! (Also afternoon all!)
	3:29pm djsheilab: Haha! I promise, Brendan.
	3:30pm harold fridkis: saturday night didn't happen is a great song!
	3:31pm TehBadDr: Oh, but Flynn Friday did happen! I'll show myself out for bringing political shitza into a groovy place.
	3:31pm Threemoons: Loving the theme of this show...
	3:31pm Jay Goges: SHEILA I love your days of the week theme!
	3:31pm pantz: Taffy pull? What could that mean in 1960?
	3:32pm Threemoons: @Pantz--an actual taffy pull.
	3:32pm still b/p: Diana Dors vocal sound close to Doris Day, eh?
	3:32pm Michael 98145: great lp cover :)
	3:37pm AJ: On Bobbie Gentry: Bobbie Gentry: Portrait Of A Feminist http://thequietus.com/articles/17223-bobbie-gentry
	3:38pm biblioarchy: superb show. lovely voice. fine tunes.
	3:38pm JtotheK: hi sheilab, hi boom boomers.
	3:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BoomBoom! ...out goes the week...
	3:41pm dale: i still think you should go with a french ooh la version of SBB www.youtube.com...
	3:42pm The Contessa: Lucky enough to have seen Dita at The Crazy Horse in Paris. She is utterly divine and SO professional!
	3:43pm Cecile: The Crazy Horse! That's where Conchita Wurst played!
	3:43pm Michael 98145: can't say i've ever heard her voice
	3:44pm The Contessa: And… she can sing!
	3:44pm Cecile: Reparata and the Delrons might be my favorite band name ever.
	3:44pm The Contessa: @Cecile, that's where a lot of people have played!
	3:45pm Cecile: I know, but I am a big hard rock doofus nerd and never knew anything about it until I became obsessed with Conchita last year.
	3:46pm Cecile: It seems like a venue I might visit if I was ever in Paris.
	3:46pm Rob Kopp: @Dale. That version would surely fit as well. Just like Black Market by Frank Valdor Band: www.youtube.com...
	3:47pm Adrian in London: @Cecile It's a tiny venue
	3:47pm The Contessa: @Cecile, definitely! The classiest burlesque you'll ever see and such a history!
	3:47pm Cecile: It looks like it from the photos I've seen.
	3:48pm Cecile: I would like to see some wonderful burlesque. I have not been impressed with the stuff I've seen in Mpls. It hews too closely to the corny stuff from the 50s. Unless someone can illuminate me...
	3:49pm The Contessa: @Cecile, the dancers are perfection! It's all done with lighting, so you never see what you think you see!
	3:49pm CTEmpress: WHEW made it just in time to hear this lovely Minni Dark Horse!
	3:49pm listener james from westwood: Uma's gonna go full Kill Bill on HW.
	3:50pm listener james from westwood: And there's your perfect follow-up!
	3:50pm The Oscar: PERFECT transition!
	3:50pm Passaic River Blues: Uma!
	3:50pm Threemoons: I love that Uma Thurman line...
	3:50pm Michael 98145: that's our national motto : "you never see what you think you see" :P
	3:50pm The Contessa: Sheila! Playing Uma! That's brilliant!!
	3:51pm mzm: meiko kaji?
	3:52pm djsheilab: mzm-Indeed!
	3:52pm michael z: What programming and editing. And so much today would fit into the Atmospheric set. Sheila is the BEST DJ with the best patter.
	3:52pm mzm: yey!
	3:52pm listener james from westwood: "Why do you need Japanese steel?" "I have vermin to kill." "You must have big rats if you need Hattori Hanzo's steel." "Huge."
	3:52pm djsheilab: Thank you Michael Z!
	3:53pm Adrian in London: This Japanese song is great. Do you know which other Japanese song s great? YOUR THEME SONG!!! ;-)
	3:53pm Cecile: I have to see it. I loved it that they put beards on all the dancers when Conchita played. Also, she/he says that it is an amazing work environment - they have a kitchen where they cook, gossip and "defend each other like lions". WHat. So I have her autobiography.
	3:53pm CTEmpress: @MichaelZ I agree: double duty atmosphere and 1-2 punch!
	3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerkow...as a Scorpio whose ideal is a Sex Positive culture - these ubiquitous Power Tripping violators of the Simple but Inviolable Rule Of Consent are not making it easier ...I mean - draw a list of how a Society - nay, a Civilization either Succeeds or Fails - & we are quite obviously getting an 'F' on this one...
	3:55pm mzm: I can tell not-miss Meiko Kaji films: Female Convict Scorpion: Beast Stable (1973) & Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance (1974)
	3:56pm Michael 98145: ( great titles _ )
	3:56pm michael z: The precursor to Material Girl. This is fab!!! I’m not sure I’ve ever heard Hose in a song. And what a great rhyme for clothes.
	3:57pm still b/p: A few years ago was supposed to meet a friend for a local modern burlesque show --"research" for a possible erotic lit reading night later. She didn't make it, I went in alone...not many solo guys in there. Stage presence and talent varied, but the entire crowd was enthusiastically supportive, which was fun. I decided it would be great fun to design the theme/props/set pieces for such acts.
	3:58pm djsheilab: Adrian in London—Haha! As Sandie Shaw sings..."Message Understood!" :)
	4:02pm Leonardo: Got any Solange?
	4:03pm Adrian in London: @Yamile Nice choice; this is lovely
	4:03pm Michael 98145: nice choice, Yamile
	4:04pm Brian Cat: Bring back the electric piano.
	4:04pm herb.nyc: I'm here, in case yr taking attendance. And at Monty later, for ASavage.
	4:05pm JasonInBoston: Hi Sheila! Sounding good!
	4:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good afternoon, Sheila, Yamile and sophisticationals.
	4:07pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Late to the show, as my butt has been draggin' all day. All work and no sleep make Carm a dull boy ...
	4:08pm TehBadDr: Wait, did station manager Ken or Andy make untoward advances?
	4:09pm Tommy Lee White: Hi Sheila B - you're making a pretty crappy day very tolerable today. Thanks!
	4:11pm common: happy Friday!
	4:14pm The Contessa: Truly divine!
	4:14pm Michael 98145: [ from the internetwork : "In 1964, Hatch made his first trip to New York City in search of new material for Petula Clark. The visit inspired him to write "Downtown", originally with The Drifters in mind." ]
	4:15pm Guido from Cologne: It was the flip of the debut, wasn't it?
	4:16pm The Contessa: @Ken, glad you've arrived
	4:18pm Brian Cat: Totally makes sense, I knew it took a lot of luck, but the missing components are talent and opportunity. I think that today the talent is not as necessary as it was in the past, due to the technology in pop. It doesn't matter how good a performer is, as long as they fit in with the marketing department's plan and maybe can generate some controversy and interest they are acceptable, in my opinion.
	4:19pm Michael 98145: @Guido, it would appear so : www.discogs.com...
	4:20pm Michael 98145: @Brian C, talking politics again are we? :) :)
	4:20pm Guido from Cologne: Truly Smith's appearance on Beat Club 1967 (German TV, radio Bremen): www.youtube.com...
	4:21pm Cecile: I know Beat Club filmed a lot of their performer, unlike a lot of shows at the time. Is there any footage of Truly?
	4:21pm Brian Cat: Not politics, music biz.
	4:21pm Cecile: Get out of my head, Guido.
	4:21pm Passaic River Blues: This really should be played in every bar on 7th Avenue from 14th Street to 34th Street.
	4:23pm Cecile: She looks and sounds great, thanks Guido!
	4:24pm Guido from Cologne: There were three periods of Beat club 1. Full Live with audience in Club atmosphere 2. Mostly Playback with audience + promo films 3. Studio Stage playing live without audience All were filmed, none were aired live.
	4:28pm Cecile: I did not know that. In the US they were either not taped, or were taped over if you weren't a huge star until the later 60s. Even in Australia, lots of great 70s Countdown performances are lost because they were taped over.
	4:28pm Guido from Cologne: Guess this on one of the DECCA-Mod-Collections. I know this tune.
	4:28pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Sheila. i'd never really heard of her before now.
	4:29pm Guido from Cologne: Erasure of shows happened in Germany too. "Musik aus Studio B." is entirely lost except for the farewell show.
	4:30pm Cecile: that stinks, but then again a lot of people didn't really care about keeping pop music history.
	4:33pm Guido from Cologne: Director Mike Leckebush was very self-confident. He was font of producing all theese psychedelic effects. He had an idea his productions were valuable. As I learned from a documentary, all of the Monty Python shows would have been erased by the BBC, if not the Monthies themself had bought them back from the station. Hard to imagine. Post-War throw-away mentality. Pop and comedy is nothing of value.
	4:34pm Amy: Great sound! Brilliant!
	4:34pm Cecile: Exactly, Guido. There are popular TV series that ran for years that do not exist at all.
	4:34pm dale: nice segment!!
	4:35pm The Contessa: NO! Never reveal real names!!
	4:35pm Amy: Amazing voice!
	4:37pm chris: especially, if, like me, one's real name is Pompy McDoodlehead. hi, Sheila and folks!
	4:37pm Guido from Cologne: Beat Club is available on DVD in its entirety. 3 Boxes with 8 DVDs a' 4 shows each.
	4:38pm chris: i really enjoy your interviews, Sheila. thank you for bringing them.
	4:38pm Cecile: thanks, Guido! This is US Girls? It's been a long time since I listened to them. Last time, I think they were really lo-fi and drenched in static.
	4:38pm still b/p: Relevant only to talk of TV performance modes and archives: saw Manilow in a Carson show performance from '85 the other night. A run-of-the-mill 80's flavor song with Barry lip-synching, standing and strutting/posing with the mike, no piano, and a good portion of the audience going bah-NANAS at the mention of his name, at his introduction, at his performance. All sorta odd. Have a look if you like. Check the jacket and paaaants! www.youtube.com...
	4:38pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Good morning/evening everyone!
	4:39pm djsheilab: Cecile—Yup, brand new single.
	4:39pm djsheilab: Morning EarlyMorningInSeoul!
	4:40pm Guido from Cologne: It#s not music performance alone. There are documentary sections as well. Quite some time-capsules. Too bad, the playback-period was in the most intersting tim 1967-69. Even though ... i learne Small Faces were pretty much untight in their "Nutgone"-period due lack of touring and drugs. So who knows.
	4:42pm Cecile: sbp, the song made me laugh. Barry will always be looking for the girl that's right for him.... But very typical 80s talk show pre-Arsenio Hall.
	4:43pm dooly: OMG I understand the lyrics! Wow! Armenian coming in handy, finally!
	4:45pm djsheilab: Lo-fi soul!
	4:46pm Carmichael: @Cecile, maybe in song but not in real life, I understand. Not that there's anything wrong with that ....
	4:46pm Brian Cat: The strings are walking all over the vocal.
	4:47pm djsheilab: Atmospheric songs Part III coming up at 5-ish!
	4:48pm CTEmpress: Love Gillian Welch. And U.S. Girls: that was nice!
	4:48pm northguineahills: Gillian Welch is either amazing or meh, this falls under the former. Loverly!
	4:49pm Cecile: Carm, the reason he kept looking is that girl never existed!
	4:49pm βrian: There are something like 8 Bowling Greens in the U.S. How to keep them straight?
	4:51pm northguineahills: @βrian: Did you include Bowling Green, Manhattan (southern tip, near Battery Park)?
	4:53pm pantz: Bowling Green, KY can be remembered as that armpit of America you pass just before you enter Nashville on I-65 South.
	4:55pm Brian Cat: There are said to be other beings in Orion's star-belt.
	4:55pm still b/p: When I saw that,I did NOT remember that screaming fans were part of the Barry experience....and even into the mid 80s? There are some A+ archival pieces. Watched a late 50s Steve Allen excerpt recently...him and a young Steve & Eydie and Dinah Shore and Ann Sothern and a quickie Frank cameo, all doing the Allen-written This Could Be The Start of Something Big while on a LONG-ass singing march around backstage halls and studio spaces at NBC. I am GLAD and grateful such a clip wasn't lost. And wondered if it was live when it aired.
	4:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Speaking of atmosphere: Besides the lovely near-full moon rising in the east, at precisely 5:37 PM, the space station will be passing over JC. Should make for quite a sophisticated sky scene. spotthestation.nasa.gov...
	4:56pm dave in leicester: damn sheila i'm trying to put together a best of '17 list here and just when i thought it was done you keep throwing new stuff in
	4:56pm Brian Cat: Further, the Sphix face is aligned to the middle star in Orion's belt.
	4:57pm Cecile: sbp, Barry has some of the most loyal fans in the business.
	4:57pm The Contessa: @Sheila, loving this Sharon Jones!
	4:58pm Michael 98145: what a loss
	4:58pm Adrian in London: Oh, this Sharon song! You could just have played this and had 2hrs55mins of silence and you'd have had no complaints
	4:58pm djsheilab: The Contessa—So powerful!
	5:00pm Michael 98145: whoo whee
	5:01pm pantz: Love this song but will definitely refrain from saying this to my wife.
	5:06pm Michael 98145: ( always enjoy receiving my weekly email boom :)
	5:07pm Adrian in London: "Atmospheric and dramatic" Yep, that's me ;-)
	5:07pm The Contessa: Oooh! Adrian in London…
	5:09pm Guido from Cologne: Ha! I have this! Lucky me! :-)
	5:09pm Passaic River Blues: This is dope. Nice looking out, Adrian.
	5:11pm northguineahills: Dayyyyuuummmmn, and I've never heard of Stelvio Cipriani!
	5:12pm Guido from Cologne: Yeah! Joe Meek!
	5:12pm Michael 98145: what ngh said
	5:12pm Rob Kopp: Walked by the studio of Joe Meek last week
	5:12pm The Contessa: Crystal, Crystal, Crystal, thank you!
	5:13pm dale: is this NOT from a western?
	5:14pm Guido from Cologne: No it is soundtrack from a Gallo-movie.
	5:15pm Adrian in London: Glad the Stelvio Cipriani hit the spot. There are lots of his albums on Spotify. The Crime Soundtracks is a great place to start.
	5:15pm Michael 98145: what a great, adventurous fanclub you have !! :)
	5:16pm northguineahills: I would have contributed, but I don't want my aesthetic biases to influence what others hear....unless I'm the one playing the material of course (i suppose I'm a bit off).
	5:17pm Neil: The Dramatics. Awesome!
	5:18pm The Contessa: Glenn J, thank you
	5:19pm Guido from Cologne: There were quite a few comps and re-issues of Gallo soundtracks on CD in the 1990ies. I simply grab it when i see it for a few Euros. (Berlin label Cripped Dick Hot Wax had some great comps of the genre.)
	5:19pm CTEmpress: DANG THe Dramatics...oh yeah. This is so smokin' makes me want rain!
	5:20pm Rob Kopp: Changed my picture to a more atmospheric one
	5:20pm chris: really dig the atmospheric selections! kudos, peeps!
	5:20pm mzm: you mean vincent gallo?
	5:21pm mzm: I have still sealed Bohack ‎– It Took Several Wives
	5:22pm Michael 98145: crippled dick sounds like a british dish duck :)
	5:22pm djsheilab: chris—The quality of contributions is really something.
	5:22pm mzm: all bjork sounds same too mi
	5:23pm Michael 98145: while i'm hiding, i have to say this disc cover is disturbing.
	5:24pm mzm: better
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: Sir Ray Davies giving me an uppercut (he used to be a boxer in his schooldays, so it was just a natural reflex and fortunately nothing personal)
	5:25pm Michael 98145: :) <3 <3
	5:25pm djsheilab: Such an exquisite choice Michael 98145!
	5:25pm pantz: Oh wow, Julie London. Nice choice Michael98145
	5:26pm Rob Kopp: Congrats Michael
	5:26pm Michael 98145: this young boy thought she was pretty darned hot
	5:27pm Rob Kopp: Makes me feel blue (Why is my name and my heart suddenly blue? Because I changed the picture during the show?)
	5:28pm Michael 98145: still looks crimson to us ...
	5:29pm djsheilab: Eeeeeekkk....this record is just slightly warped.
	5:29pm Brian Cat: This is great, love those Angel songs. Like Angel Baby by Rosie and the Originals.
	5:29pm Philip: Sounds like the background singers are saying, "Pull my finger... Pull my finger..."
	5:29pm CTEmpress: Why didn't I think of Bertha Tillman??? This is a real strong one for me. Played it til MINE warped!
	5:30pm djsheilab: Haha love it! CTEmpress :)
	5:30pm Brian Cat: Les and Mary, "The New Sound." One of my faves here.
	5:30pm Carmichael: @Rob, if you clicked on your avatar or name, it will turn and remain a different color. I just looked at your picture and the same thing happened to me.
	5:31pm Brian Cat: All instruments are the electric guitar.
	5:31pm dale: nice moon out and just watched the space station fly over. get outside for a minute or two - take the radio with you if you must.
	5:31pm northguineahills: But it's past 420!!!
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Michael and Carmicheal. Strange atmospheric things are happening here.
	5:32pm Michael 98145: heh. beautiful.
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: That was the right word, Michael: heh
	5:33pm Philip: Sheila B: Your show has quickly become one of my favorites on WFMU. You're GREAT! Your music is GREAT! Music from the days of Yore. (Did you see what I did there?)
	5:34pm Fnarf: Oh man, how great are all these "Saint Etienne Present" CDs? I don't have this one but all of them, the early ones on Ace and the newer ones on Croydon Municipal, 100% great. Bob Stanley is my song selection idol (after Miz Burgel, of course).
	5:36pm sweet: Great show thanks sheila
	5:36pm Eric Hat: Oh my god. I love yr on air presence. So exciting!
	5:37pm djsheilab: Awwww...thank you Eric Hat!
	5:38pm djsheilab: And you too Philip! Those are some very kind words :)
	5:38pm The Contessa: I LOVE THE O'JAYS. This Reichardt can pick 'em!
	5:38pm Guido from Cologne: ha, Van McCoy
	5:38pm still b/p: Watched the Les Paul documentary a few weeks ago, after the Weinstein news and the stirred wave were much in the public spotlight. At the credits, there's a moment when the aged Les Paul joshes suggestively onstage at the Iridium about getting together with the young female bass player. She smiles but looks embarassed. The moment now feels...not so playful or good.

	3:05pm Brian Cat: Rob That's amazing. He seems like a difficult guy to track down. I love the old Kinks from the 70s.
	3:05pm djsheilab: Ooooh! So many of you here with me right on time! Hello!

	3:12pm melinda: I love Bobbie.
	3:12pm pantz: I look forward to this week's installment of Atmospheric Songs!
	3:12pm djsheilab: Leonardo—it's far too warm here for snow, thankfully!
	3:13pm Brian Cat: Very kool.
	3:13pm Michael 98145: Go deep. deep back in time. ... just grey skies here
	3:13pm djsheilab: melinda—she's just so comforting, right? And what an intimate vocal.
	3:13pm Leonardo: This is a whirlpool of honey.
	3:14pm michael z: Tuesday Child belongs in the atmospheric portion of the show. It’s so gorgeous. She’s an amazing artist.
	3:14pm Brendan: Two of my favorite djs Joe and Sheila bookend the week and so many others in between and on the weekend. Wow. Gotta pinch myself every now and then since I found this station.
	3:14pm The Contessa: Bobbie! Lovely!
	3:15pm Michael 98145: - almost all i listen to is FMU
	3:15pm Rob Kopp: Thanks for playing Nolan Strong & The Diablos - The wind last week, Sheila. Wow. 4 people with the same recommendation.
	3:16pm Joe McG: Thanks for the shout-out, Brendan, and thank you, Sheila, for playing Bobbie Gentry just now, one of my all-time favorite singers ever. Her voice leapt out of the radio at me...in a good way!
	3:16pm djsheilab: Michael Z—she's truly in a league of her own!
	3:16pm dale: just pulled up a cup of tee and all set to snuggle in.
	3:16pm eyenoise: @djsheilab: asking your take on a couple of artists: Caroline Polachek (ex-Chairlift) who kinda stole the show at the John Cale VU&Nico 50th Anniversary Concert; and Pip Blom, who did a terrific BBC6 session this week.
	3:17pm Michael 98145: tea. check.
	3:17pm djsheilab: Joe McG—You also voted for the Nolan Strong & the Diablos track, right? So that's five votes!
	3:17pm michael z: Is David Bowie’s sublime Thursday’s Child next?
	3:18pm Adrian in London: I am a Wednesday's child. And I like Emiliana Torrini. So there you go…
	3:18pm Joe McG: @sheilab: I sure did! One of my atmospheric musts!
	3:18pm listener james from westwood: Torrini track would've been a good atmospheric option, too!
	3:20pm djsheilab: Thursday is not a popular music day.
	3:20pm Guido from Cologne: Emiliana Torrini "Wednesday's Child" from album "Love In The Time Of Science"
	3:21pm Michael 98145: just say no to puberty
	3:21pm harold fridkis: i've been listening to SOPHISTICATED BOOM BOOM for a year now. it's the best!
	3:21pm listener james from westwood: YLT!
	3:21pm northguineahills: YLT!!!

	3:22pm Dave from TPG: Classic Georgia
	3:22pm NotARealDoctor: This is great! Thanks for always improving my Friday, Sheila! Happy Friday, everyone!
	3:23pm Adrian in London: I LOVE this version of Friday I'm In Love.
	3:23pm michael z: Thank you. New Jersey at its best.
	3:23pm djsheilab: Brian Cat—I don't know that one! Thanks for the tip.
	3:23pm herb.nyc: Hi Sheila. Will tune in in a bit. Grand Funk R cd on, bec Clay Pigeon is here. Uh, former is true while latter is not.
	3:24pm northguineahills: James beat me due to my extra due exclamation points.
	3:24pm listener james from westwood: This song always reminds me of a long-ago ex. Weirdly, more this version than the Cure's, even though that band helped bring us together.
	3:24pm Rob Kopp: They've done a lot of Kinks covers: Big sky, Fancy, This is where I belong, Oklahoma USA, No return and accompanied Ray Davies in New York in 2000
	3:24pm Brendan: I knew we had to get to this track this day- yay
	3:25pm TehBadDr: Hi Sheila and boomers! Wonderful Cure cover.
	3:25pm doctorjazz: YLT!!!!! (a real slow poke).
	3:26pm djsheilab: doctorjazz—viva late bloomers + slow pokes!
	3:26pm Michael 98145: now we're cookin with gas
	3:27pm Brendan: Please don’t reach for the Lionel Ritchie as the closer!
	3:29pm The Oscar: TWIST ENDING! (Also afternoon all!)
	3:29pm djsheilab: Haha! I promise, Brendan.
	3:30pm harold fridkis: saturday night didn't happen is a great song!
	3:31pm TehBadDr: Oh, but Flynn Friday did happen! I'll show myself out for bringing political shitza into a groovy place.
	3:31pm Threemoons: Loving the theme of this show...
	3:31pm Jay Goges: SHEILA I love your days of the week theme!
	3:31pm pantz: Taffy pull? What could that mean in 1960?
	3:32pm Threemoons: @Pantz--an actual taffy pull.
	3:32pm still b/p: Diana Dors vocal sound close to Doris Day, eh?
	3:32pm Michael 98145: great lp cover :)
	3:37pm AJ: On Bobbie Gentry: Bobbie Gentry: Portrait Of A Feminist http://thequietus.com/articles/17223-bobbie-gentry
	3:38pm biblioarchy: superb show. lovely voice. fine tunes.
	3:38pm JtotheK: hi sheilab, hi boom boomers.
	3:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BoomBoom! ...out goes the week...
	3:41pm dale: i still think you should go with a french ooh la version of SBB www.youtube.com...
	3:42pm The Contessa: Lucky enough to have seen Dita at The Crazy Horse in Paris. She is utterly divine and SO professional!
	3:43pm Cecile: The Crazy Horse! That's where Conchita Wurst played!
	3:43pm Michael 98145: can't say i've ever heard her voice
	3:44pm The Contessa: And… she can sing!
	3:44pm Cecile: Reparata and the Delrons might be my favorite band name ever.
	3:44pm The Contessa: @Cecile, that's where a lot of people have played!
	3:45pm Cecile: I know, but I am a big hard rock doofus nerd and never knew anything about it until I became obsessed with Conchita last year.
	3:46pm Cecile: It seems like a venue I might visit if I was ever in Paris.
	3:46pm Rob Kopp: @Dale. That version would surely fit as well. Just like Black Market by Frank Valdor Band: www.youtube.com...
	3:47pm Adrian in London: @Cecile It's a tiny venue
	3:47pm The Contessa: @Cecile, definitely! The classiest burlesque you'll ever see and such a history!
	3:47pm Cecile: It looks like it from the photos I've seen.
	3:48pm Cecile: I would like to see some wonderful burlesque. I have not been impressed with the stuff I've seen in Mpls. It hews too closely to the corny stuff from the 50s. Unless someone can illuminate me...
	3:49pm The Contessa: @Cecile, the dancers are perfection! It's all done with lighting, so you never see what you think you see!
	3:49pm CTEmpress: WHEW made it just in time to hear this lovely Minni Dark Horse!
	3:49pm listener james from westwood: Uma's gonna go full Kill Bill on HW.
	3:50pm listener james from westwood: And there's your perfect follow-up!
	3:50pm The Oscar: PERFECT transition!
	3:50pm Passaic River Blues: Uma!
	3:50pm Threemoons: I love that Uma Thurman line...
	3:50pm Michael 98145: that's our national motto : "you never see what you think you see" :P
	3:50pm The Contessa: Sheila! Playing Uma! That's brilliant!!
	3:51pm mzm: meiko kaji?
	3:52pm djsheilab: mzm-Indeed!
	3:52pm michael z: What programming and editing. And so much today would fit into the Atmospheric set. Sheila is the BEST DJ with the best patter.
	3:52pm mzm: yey!
	3:52pm listener james from westwood: "Why do you need Japanese steel?" "I have vermin to kill." "You must have big rats if you need Hattori Hanzo's steel." "Huge."
	3:52pm djsheilab: Thank you Michael Z!
	3:53pm Adrian in London: This Japanese song is great. Do you know which other Japanese song s great? YOUR THEME SONG!!! ;-)
	3:53pm Cecile: I have to see it. I loved it that they put beards on all the dancers when Conchita played. Also, she/he says that it is an amazing work environment - they have a kitchen where they cook, gossip and "defend each other like lions". WHat. So I have her autobiography.
	3:53pm CTEmpress: @MichaelZ I agree: double duty atmosphere and 1-2 punch!
	3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerkow...as a Scorpio whose ideal is a Sex Positive culture - these ubiquitous Power Tripping violators of the Simple but Inviolable Rule Of Consent are not making it easier ...I mean - draw a list of how a Society - nay, a Civilization either Succeeds or Fails - & we are quite obviously getting an 'F' on this one...
	3:55pm mzm: I can tell not-miss Meiko Kaji films: Female Convict Scorpion: Beast Stable (1973) & Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance (1974)
	3:56pm Michael 98145: ( great titles _ )
	3:56pm michael z: The precursor to Material Girl. This is fab!!! I’m not sure I’ve ever heard Hose in a song. And what a great rhyme for clothes.
	3:57pm still b/p: A few years ago was supposed to meet a friend for a local modern burlesque show --"research" for a possible erotic lit reading night later. She didn't make it, I went in alone...not many solo guys in there. Stage presence and talent varied, but the entire crowd was enthusiastically supportive, which was fun. I decided it would be great fun to design the theme/props/set pieces for such acts.
	3:58pm djsheilab: Adrian in London—Haha! As Sandie Shaw sings..."Message Understood!" :)
	4:02pm Leonardo: Got any Solange?
	4:03pm Adrian in London: @Yamile Nice choice; this is lovely
	4:03pm Michael 98145: nice choice, Yamile
	4:04pm Brian Cat: Bring back the electric piano.
	4:04pm herb.nyc: I'm here, in case yr taking attendance. And at Monty later, for ASavage.
	4:05pm JasonInBoston: Hi Sheila! Sounding good!
	4:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good afternoon, Sheila, Yamile and sophisticationals.
	4:07pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. Late to the show, as my butt has been draggin' all day. All work and no sleep make Carm a dull boy ...
	4:08pm TehBadDr: Wait, did station manager Ken or Andy make untoward advances?
	4:09pm Tommy Lee White: Hi Sheila B - you're making a pretty crappy day very tolerable today. Thanks!
	4:11pm common: happy Friday!
	4:14pm The Contessa: Truly divine!
	4:14pm Michael 98145: [ from the internetwork : "In 1964, Hatch made his first trip to New York City in search of new material for Petula Clark. The visit inspired him to write "Downtown", originally with The Drifters in mind." ]
	4:15pm Guido from Cologne: It was the flip of the debut, wasn't it?
	4:16pm The Contessa: @Ken, glad you've arrived
	4:18pm Brian Cat: Totally makes sense, I knew it took a lot of luck, but the missing components are talent and opportunity. I think that today the talent is not as necessary as it was in the past, due to the technology in pop. It doesn't matter how good a performer is, as long as they fit in with the marketing department's plan and maybe can generate some controversy and interest they are acceptable, in my opinion.
	4:19pm Michael 98145: @Guido, it would appear so : www.discogs.com...
	4:20pm Michael 98145: @Brian C, talking politics again are we? :) :)
	4:20pm Guido from Cologne: Truly Smith's appearance on Beat Club 1967 (German TV, radio Bremen): www.youtube.com...
	4:21pm Cecile: I know Beat Club filmed a lot of their performer, unlike a lot of shows at the time. Is there any footage of Truly?
	4:21pm Brian Cat: Not politics, music biz.
	4:21pm Cecile: Get out of my head, Guido.
	4:21pm Passaic River Blues: This really should be played in every bar on 7th Avenue from 14th Street to 34th Street.
	4:23pm Cecile: She looks and sounds great, thanks Guido!
	4:24pm Guido from Cologne: There were three periods of Beat club 1. Full Live with audience in Club atmosphere 2. Mostly Playback with audience + promo films 3. Studio Stage playing live without audience All were filmed, none were aired live.
	4:28pm Cecile: I did not know that. In the US they were either not taped, or were taped over if you weren't a huge star until the later 60s. Even in Australia, lots of great 70s Countdown performances are lost because they were taped over.
	4:28pm Guido from Cologne: Guess this on one of the DECCA-Mod-Collections. I know this tune.
	4:28pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Sheila. i'd never really heard of her before now.
	4:29pm Guido from Cologne: Erasure of shows happened in Germany too. "Musik aus Studio B." is entirely lost except for the farewell show.
	4:30pm Cecile: that stinks, but then again a lot of people didn't really care about keeping pop music history.
	4:33pm Guido from Cologne: Director Mike Leckebush was very self-confident. He was font of producing all theese psychedelic effects. He had an idea his productions were valuable. As I learned from a documentary, all of the Monty Python shows would have been erased by the BBC, if not the Monthies themself had bought them back from the station. Hard to imagine. Post-War throw-away mentality. Pop and comedy is nothing of value.
	4:34pm Amy: Great sound! Brilliant!
	4:34pm Cecile: Exactly, Guido. There are popular TV series that ran for years that do not exist at all.
	4:34pm dale: nice segment!!
	4:35pm The Contessa: NO! Never reveal real names!!
	4:35pm Amy: Amazing voice!
	4:37pm chris: especially, if, like me, one's real name is Pompy McDoodlehead. hi, Sheila and folks!
	4:37pm Guido from Cologne: Beat Club is available on DVD in its entirety. 3 Boxes with 8 DVDs a' 4 shows each.
	4:38pm chris: i really enjoy your interviews, Sheila. thank you for bringing them.
	4:38pm Cecile: thanks, Guido! This is US Girls? It's been a long time since I listened to them. Last time, I think they were really lo-fi and drenched in static.
	4:38pm still b/p: Relevant only to talk of TV performance modes and archives: saw Manilow in a Carson show performance from '85 the other night. A run-of-the-mill 80's flavor song with Barry lip-synching, standing and strutting/posing with the mike, no piano, and a good portion of the audience going bah-NANAS at the mention of his name, at his introduction, at his performance. All sorta odd. Have a look if you like. Check the jacket and paaaants! www.youtube.com...
	4:38pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Good morning/evening everyone!
	4:39pm djsheilab: Cecile—Yup, brand new single.
	4:39pm djsheilab: Morning EarlyMorningInSeoul!
	4:40pm Guido from Cologne: It#s not music performance alone. There are documentary sections as well. Quite some time-capsules. Too bad, the playback-period was in the most intersting tim 1967-69. Even though ... i learne Small Faces were pretty much untight in their "Nutgone"-period due lack of touring and drugs. So who knows.
	4:42pm Cecile: sbp, the song made me laugh. Barry will always be looking for the girl that's right for him.... But very typical 80s talk show pre-Arsenio Hall.
	4:43pm dooly: OMG I understand the lyrics! Wow! Armenian coming in handy, finally!
	4:45pm djsheilab: Lo-fi soul!
	4:46pm Carmichael: @Cecile, maybe in song but not in real life, I understand. Not that there's anything wrong with that ....
	4:46pm Brian Cat: The strings are walking all over the vocal.
	4:47pm djsheilab: Atmospheric songs Part III coming up at 5-ish!
	4:48pm CTEmpress: Love Gillian Welch. And U.S. Girls: that was nice!
	4:48pm northguineahills: Gillian Welch is either amazing or meh, this falls under the former. Loverly!
	4:49pm Cecile: Carm, the reason he kept looking is that girl never existed!
	4:49pm βrian: There are something like 8 Bowling Greens in the U.S. How to keep them straight?
	4:51pm northguineahills: @βrian: Did you include Bowling Green, Manhattan (southern tip, near Battery Park)?
	4:53pm pantz: Bowling Green, KY can be remembered as that armpit of America you pass just before you enter Nashville on I-65 South.
	4:55pm Brian Cat: There are said to be other beings in Orion's star-belt.
	4:55pm still b/p: When I saw that,I did NOT remember that screaming fans were part of the Barry experience....and even into the mid 80s? There are some A+ archival pieces. Watched a late 50s Steve Allen excerpt recently...him and a young Steve & Eydie and Dinah Shore and Ann Sothern and a quickie Frank cameo, all doing the Allen-written This Could Be The Start of Something Big while on a LONG-ass singing march around backstage halls and studio spaces at NBC. I am GLAD and grateful such a clip wasn't lost. And wondered if it was live when it aired.
	4:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Speaking of atmosphere: Besides the lovely near-full moon rising in the east, at precisely 5:37 PM, the space station will be passing over JC. Should make for quite a sophisticated sky scene. spotthestation.nasa.gov...
	4:56pm dave in leicester: damn sheila i'm trying to put together a best of '17 list here and just when i thought it was done you keep throwing new stuff in
	4:56pm Brian Cat: Further, the Sphix face is aligned to the middle star in Orion's belt.
	4:57pm Cecile: sbp, Barry has some of the most loyal fans in the business.
	4:57pm The Contessa: @Sheila, loving this Sharon Jones!
	4:58pm Michael 98145: what a loss
	4:58pm Adrian in London: Oh, this Sharon song! You could just have played this and had 2hrs55mins of silence and you'd have had no complaints
	4:58pm djsheilab: The Contessa—So powerful!
	5:00pm Michael 98145: whoo whee
	5:01pm pantz: Love this song but will definitely refrain from saying this to my wife.
	5:06pm Michael 98145: ( always enjoy receiving my weekly email boom :)
	5:07pm Adrian in London: "Atmospheric and dramatic" Yep, that's me ;-)
	5:07pm The Contessa: Oooh! Adrian in London…
	5:09pm Guido from Cologne: Ha! I have this! Lucky me! :-)
	5:09pm Passaic River Blues: This is dope. Nice looking out, Adrian.
	5:11pm northguineahills: Dayyyyuuummmmn, and I've never heard of Stelvio Cipriani!
	5:12pm Guido from Cologne: Yeah! Joe Meek!
	5:12pm Michael 98145: what ngh said
	5:12pm Rob Kopp: Walked by the studio of Joe Meek last week
	5:12pm The Contessa: Crystal, Crystal, Crystal, thank you!
	5:13pm dale: is this NOT from a western?
	5:14pm Guido from Cologne: No it is soundtrack from a Gallo-movie.
	5:15pm Adrian in London: Glad the Stelvio Cipriani hit the spot. There are lots of his albums on Spotify. The Crime Soundtracks is a great place to start.
	5:15pm Michael 98145: what a great, adventurous fanclub you have !! :)
	5:16pm northguineahills: I would have contributed, but I don't want my aesthetic biases to influence what others hear....unless I'm the one playing the material of course (i suppose I'm a bit off).
	5:17pm Neil: The Dramatics. Awesome!
	5:18pm The Contessa: Glenn J, thank you
	5:19pm Guido from Cologne: There were quite a few comps and re-issues of Gallo soundtracks on CD in the 1990ies. I simply grab it when i see it for a few Euros. (Berlin label Cripped Dick Hot Wax had some great comps of the genre.)
	5:19pm CTEmpress: DANG THe Dramatics...oh yeah. This is so smokin' makes me want rain!
	5:20pm Rob Kopp: Changed my picture to a more atmospheric one
	5:20pm chris: really dig the atmospheric selections! kudos, peeps!
	5:20pm mzm: you mean vincent gallo?
	5:21pm mzm: I have still sealed Bohack ‎– It Took Several Wives
	5:22pm Michael 98145: crippled dick sounds like a british dish duck :)
	5:22pm djsheilab: chris—The quality of contributions is really something.
	5:22pm mzm: all bjork sounds same too mi
	5:23pm Michael 98145: while i'm hiding, i have to say this disc cover is disturbing.
	5:24pm mzm: better
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: Sir Ray Davies giving me an uppercut (he used to be a boxer in his schooldays, so it was just a natural reflex and fortunately nothing personal)
	5:25pm Michael 98145: :) <3 <3
	5:25pm djsheilab: Such an exquisite choice Michael 98145!
	5:25pm pantz: Oh wow, Julie London. Nice choice Michael98145
	5:26pm Rob Kopp: Congrats Michael
	5:26pm Michael 98145: this young boy thought she was pretty darned hot
	5:27pm Rob Kopp: Makes me feel blue (Why is my name and my heart suddenly blue? Because I changed the picture during the show?)
	5:28pm Michael 98145: still looks crimson to us ...
	5:29pm djsheilab: Eeeeeekkk....this record is just slightly warped.
	5:29pm Brian Cat: This is great, love those Angel songs. Like Angel Baby by Rosie and the Originals.
	5:29pm Philip: Sounds like the background singers are saying, "Pull my finger... Pull my finger..."
	5:29pm CTEmpress: Why didn't I think of Bertha Tillman??? This is a real strong one for me. Played it til MINE warped!
	5:30pm djsheilab: Haha love it! CTEmpress :)
	5:30pm Brian Cat: Les and Mary, "The New Sound." One of my faves here.
	5:30pm Carmichael: @Rob, if you clicked on your avatar or name, it will turn and remain a different color. I just looked at your picture and the same thing happened to me.
	5:31pm Brian Cat: All instruments are the electric guitar.
	5:31pm dale: nice moon out and just watched the space station fly over. get outside for a minute or two - take the radio with you if you must.
	5:31pm northguineahills: But it's past 420!!!
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Michael and Carmicheal. Strange atmospheric things are happening here.
	5:32pm Michael 98145: heh. beautiful.
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: That was the right word, Michael: heh
	5:33pm Philip: Sheila B: Your show has quickly become one of my favorites on WFMU. You're GREAT! Your music is GREAT! Music from the days of Yore. (Did you see what I did there?)
	5:34pm Fnarf: Oh man, how great are all these "Saint Etienne Present" CDs? I don't have this one but all of them, the early ones on Ace and the newer ones on Croydon Municipal, 100% great. Bob Stanley is my song selection idol (after Miz Burgel, of course).
	5:36pm sweet: Great show thanks sheila
	5:36pm Eric Hat: Oh my god. I love yr on air presence. So exciting!
	5:37pm djsheilab: Awwww...thank you Eric Hat!
	5:38pm djsheilab: And you too Philip! Those are some very kind words :)
	5:38pm The Contessa: I LOVE THE O'JAYS. This Reichardt can pick 'em!
	5:38pm Guido from Cologne: ha, Van McCoy
	5:38pm still b/p: Watched the Les Paul documentary a few weeks ago, after the Weinstein news and the stirred wave were much in the public spotlight. At the credits, there's a moment when the aged Les Paul joshes suggestively onstage at the Iridium about getting together with the young female bass player. She smiles but looks embarassed. The moment now feels...not so playful or good.
	5:39pm Brian Cat: Yes, good one, The O'Jays had really good songs.
	5:39pm Monica: nothing more atmospheric than 2 live crew's "me so horny" sheila:) enjoying today's show!
	5:41pm pantz: Ah, the warbling gets me every time. No one will ever be Billie Holiday again.
	5:41pm djsheilab: Haha! That made me laugh out loud Monica!
	5:43pm Michael 98145: ( this will knock the atmosphere outta yer head, but wait until SBB is over :) www.youtube.com...
	5:44pm Michael 98145: Beach House has an unmistakable sound
	5:45pm Cecile: OMG, I remember that video Michael.
	5:45pm Maggie B.: Thank you Sheila!!! Mwah!
	5:45pm Passaic River Blues: I love Beach House so much even though they've pretty much made the same record five or six times.
	5:46pm djsheilab: Great pick Maggie B.!
	5:47pm Carmichael: This style is called "dream pop" in their Wikipedia entry.
	5:48pm passthekleenex: So on point, always!
	5:49pm Old Dave: @pantz- except this guy: www.youtube.com...
	5:50pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: haha, that's a creepy looking record cover.
	5:50pm Michael 98145: never heard this before, either ...
	5:50pm Guido from Cologne: whow!!! The Lewis Sisters! (never heard of) and the cover art!
	5:51pm lurd on a monday: Beach House is, sorry, but now mainstream. Music is all the same. surprised to hear them here!
	5:51pm Rob Kopp: Creepy indeed: Sounds like a sister and a brother
	5:52pm Guido from Cologne: Trunk Records a hint for quality in re-issues.
	5:52pm still b/p: Did Brian Wilson listen to the sisters?
	5:52pm djsheilab: Lurd on A Monday—No problem with mainstream music in this space!
	5:52pm Rob Kopp: Those old doowop records are ALL atmospheric
	5:53pm upstate sean: Whadap
	5:53pm Carmichael: Wow, I have this Orioles song on my iPod. I have no idea where it came from. From where it came. From whence it came
	5:54pm BronwynB: great show sheila!
	5:54pm upstate sean: Liking this
	5:54pm Adrian in London: Wait until Lurd listens to the archives and starts rockin out to Girls Aloud!
	5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks much, DJ Sheila. Quite an airy set here. Enjoy the fine weekend, until we meet again.
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: why is this on The first Rock and Roll record
	5:55pm Carmichael: Aaron Neville must have listened to this many times ...
	5:55pm Brian Cat: No auto tune here. It's an art to make a great vocal track.
	5:55pm Michael 98145: as always, thank you, DJ Sheila. thanks for the atmosphere.
	5:55pm Rob Kopp: Troggs! A little bit different than Wild thing
	5:56pm lurd on a monday: Great! djsheilab! i was hoping you would say that! thank you! Im glad to hear you are down with mainstream! play more mainstream! you are the best! Thank you djsheilab!
	5:56pm Brian Cat: Vouz ette magnifique, Sheila B.!
	5:56pm still b/p: Lewis Sisters called "the singing school teachers" on a record sleeve.
	5:57pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, SB!
