	3:06pm βrian: Sinon le franglais suffit, naturellement.
	3:08pm dale: hello dere. the sun JUST came out and it's 61 degrees in january - how about that?
	3:09pm Brian Cat: A remake! Great!
	3:09pm Julie: My 2nd most unwieldy box set is a France Gall box, it must be 16" inches long and it doesn't fit in my record shelves. (the first one being the crazy early pink floyd box which I can barely lift) images.eil.com...
	3:10pm djsheilab: Hello dale! Still raining here in Jersey City. But this warm weather is odd!
	3:10pm Brian Cat: best picture ever, Julie.
	3:11pm melinda: hi all
	3:11pm Brian Cat: dale this is commonly referred to as "The January Thaw."
	3:11pm michael z: I wish France could hear this show. I know she would have loved it.
	3:12pm djsheilab: Serge Gainsbourg featuring France Gall's giggles!
	3:12pm djsheilab: Hello Melinda, Julie + Michael Z.!
	3:12pm Bend Sinister: Nous Ne Sommes Pas de Anges always my big favorite. Incredibly uplifting melody.
	3:12pm annie: yep, january thaw; experienced every year while i was growing up.. kinda skipped a few years of late
	3:12pm Jocelyn: That's a great box set! While I adore unique box sets especially with cool packaging I always have trouble storing them in a cohesive manner. They always end up scattered about.
	3:13pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Fairly certain this is the Serge song they used for the dance sequence in the first episode of Legion.
	3:14pm melinda: It seems like the temperature difference between freeze and thaw is larger this year.
	3:14pm Julie: Twinkle!
	3:14pm NotARealDoctor: What is this strange Germanic language? I recognize the tune, but not the language...
	3:15pm djsheilab: Bend Sinister—Excellent choice!
	3:15pm annie: this is the time of year for ice storms
	3:17pm dale: wiki tells me twinke is Lynn Annette Ripley and is from england, which surprised me as she sounded like english was not her first language.
	3:17pm michael z: Is this Serge’s most translated song?
	3:17pm djsheilab: Back-to-back covers of France Gall's "Poupee De Cire, Poupee De Son."
	3:17pm djsheilab: Michael Z—I think so!
	3:18pm NotARealDoctor: WHA?! How many translations do we have?! THIS IS WONDERFUL!
	3:18pm northguineahills: I didn't know there were so many versions!
	3:18pm Bend Sinister: fwiw The Dutch cover at the time : www.youtube.com...
	3:18pm NotARealDoctor: I could listen to a full hour long set of this!
	3:18pm tadpoles: I love your show Sheila and I thank you for it. Cheers.
	3:18pm Adrian in London: I have a feeling that this evening's show may cripple me on Discogs
	3:19pm dale: twinkle's light dimmed in 2015
	3:19pm Yami: Hello everyone
	3:19pm djsheilab: tadpoles—Thank you!
	3:19pm Bend Sinister: Excellent! :-)
	3:19pm Julie: Twinkle was fab as well, Trouble turned me on to her
	3:20pm sugarplumfairywolf: The Twinkle cover was the first France Gall song I ever heard!
	3:20pm steveo: hello and happy to be listening!
	3:20pm JakeGould: Hello Sheila! Came in just in time for Heavenly… Yes! Really freshens up this shithole of a day.
	3:21pm steveo: boy my yellow avatar sure looks bad with the pink could you change it (haha jk)
	3:21pm The Oscar: I think my first exposure to Poupee de Cire was the version by Les Sans Culottes, a pretty great American faux-yeh-yeh group from the early '00s.
	3:21pm sugarplumfairywolf: @Julie: me too! I bought the RPM Twinkle compilation after hearing it in Trouble's show a million years ago
	3:22pm The Oscar: Ha-- this translation is a little less biting than April March's!
	3:22pm Michael 98145: So sad about the reason, but looking forward to this program..
	3:23pm michael z: I love that so many of these songs are not in the interpreters first language.
	3:23pm The Contessa: Hello @Yami!
	3:24pm Adrian in London: There's a good version of Poupée by Belle & Sebastian that they did for a Black Session for Bernard Lenoir on France Inter.
	3:25pm steveo: also please excuse my thoughtlessly gender-specific interjection, i am working on that
	3:25pm michael z: Another...
	3:26pm melinda: I am finally updating my ipod touch software so I can use recent apps (including the WFMU app) and hoping the update doesn't slow things down.
	3:26pm chris: hi there, Sheila and folks. all of this. so good.
	3:30pm Brian in UK: An EP is a wonderful thing.
	3:31pm steveo: aw, great story; i'm sorry for your loss, sheila & everyone
	3:31pm geezerette: Sheila is a sweetie.
	3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - As long as your battery isn't old & worn out, you should be in good shape.
	3:33pm Jocelyn: Years ago at a car boot sale, a woman had a bunch of unique stuff. I fell in love with a cardboard makeup display with France Gall on it. I had the money for it but didn't have a clue how I'd get it home so I passed. I've always regretted that.
	3:34pm Jay Goges: Sheeeeillla B - the best way to end the week
	3:34pm Julie: Did France Gall ever record in English? What about italian? Or only French and German?
	3:35pm Julie: yes! Dancing Disco!
	3:37pm listener james from westwood: Had a feeling this one was from the 70s! Had that sound Air conveys in some tracks, gods bless'em.
	3:38pm djsheilab: Hi chris + Brian in the UK + steveo + Ken from Hyde Park + Jay Goges, + geezerette!
	3:38pm michael z: What an extraordinary song about first love. I never appreciated she could sing with such depth. Sublime. Thank you Sheila.
	3:38pm JasonInBoston: What an excellent tribute show this is! Loving it! Nice one Sheila!
	3:39pm dale: @julie - did you mourn ray thomas?
	3:39pm Michael 98145: ( new francs )
	3:39pm djsheilab: Listener James—Air really did swipe the atmosphere from "Le Meilleur Te Sois Meme" didn't they?
	3:39pm djsheilab: Michael Z.—Oh I wish I could understand the lyrics.
	3:39pm seth from muddy creek: Another great show. I often happen across FMU at this time slot on my way to a meeting. Always puts me in a good space. Thx.
	3:39pm Yami: This is actually my first time listening to France Gall boy have I’ve been missing out her voice is so buttery!
	3:40pm djsheilab: How nice to hear :) Thank you Seth from Muddy Creek.
	3:40pm Julie: @dale oh man you know I do... France & a Moody Blue in the same day, Sunday was ROUGH.
	3:40pm djsheilab: Yami just told me I'm making her cry with these songs.
	3:41pm PBastille: Hi Sheila! Radio appointment kept ;)
	3:41pm Brian Cat: sheila b - didn't you spend some time in Paris? I get a few words here and there, but don't study it enough.
	3:41pm Michael 98145: ah! love this -
	3:42pm djsheilab: PBastille—Hurray!
	3:42pm natbot: Love this St. John track!!!
	3:42pm djsheilab: Brian Cat—I've visited many many times, but never lived there. One day!
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: From the Sublime to the Gritty Boom me up muh Sophisticated Kitty ...Ain' no smart stylin' Life on this here planet - & now - the weekend - dammit...
	3:43pm Julie: Sheila, this is you, right? i.skyrock.net...
	3:43pm djsheilab: Glad you're enjoying JasonInBoston!
	3:43pm Brian Cat: Yami, French pop songs are just beautiful. I worked in a studio back in the 70s and there was this French guy who came in and did all the instruments. THat was my first dose of French pop and it was better than the stuff on the radio at the time.
	3:44pm Jocelyn: Shiela, Paris would adore you!
	3:44pm Brian Cat: Sheila, I'm surprised your Francais is not fluent.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Julie—Haha! Love it.
	3:45pm βrian: Was there ever such a thing as ouai-ouai music?
	3:46pm Listener Schned: Sneaking a comment on company property, on company time- Can't wait to hear your show tonight- best dance party going!!
	3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...eh - Parisians only wait to speak Anglais to ya until they see how much you'll embarrass yerself tryin' to parle Francais 1st...
	3:47pm Yami: @Brian Cat that’s amazing it still is better than the stuff on commercial radio lol
	3:47pm mzzmzz: heeiii sbiuee crausie troll listerner here bu'luv'yr'sho'jus'sayin
	3:47pm Michael 98145: La première fois On ne se retient pas On donne le meilleur de soi-même the first time, we don't hold back we give the best of ourself
	3:47pm djsheilab: Thanks for the sneaky hello Listener Schned!
	3:48pm JakeGould: U.S. Girls thumbs up emoji
	3:49pm Brian Cat: Thanks Michael.
	3:49pm djsheilab: Jocelyn :)
	3:50pm Jocelyn: So true! I did have many ask to practice their English with me though.
	3:51pm acid casualty: Love Betty James! She also has a song called ,'I'm not mixed up anymore'
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a generalization obviously...someone observed that people in any major City anywhere have an attitude...& why shouldn't they be proud of their Language?...
	3:52pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Hi everyone!
	3:53pm geezerette: How lovely!
	3:53pm gekko hopman: Bonjour from France. We've never ever been fans of France Gall but what you said is really nice and i wish her family heard that, it was really touching; Thank you so much.
	3:54pm djsheilab: That was Nick Drake's mother.
	3:54pm Brian Cat: I didn't know there was a Molly Drake album! Thank you so much for playing it!
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this lady gave us both Nick...& that stunning Mod chick in 'UFO' w/ the purple bob! Thx Molly.
	3:54pm Jocelyn: Hi Early!
	3:54pm djsheilab: Hey EarlyMorningInSeoul!
	3:55pm dale: martin carthy and his daughter eliza covered that molly drake
	3:57pm acid casualty: @rr. I know, besides, it is fun to ridicule others. Esp, if they have no idea what yr talking about. I thought Parisians were very nice, then again, who knows what they are talking about!
	3:57pm ncjay: this Escondido is lovely! an instant "buy" here
	3:57pm dale: nick drakes sister was the hottie with the purple hair in the series ufo.
	3:57pm thriftstoreleather: ditto, ncjay
	3:58pm Brian Cat: Sheila, it's ok we need to hear the other stuff too. You are the chosen one for this tribute, probably unique to the USA.
	4:03pm βrian: Très bien dit, Sheila !
	4:03pm Michael 98145: @ac :) we have always found the french to be welcoming
	4:04pm Keith from Oregon: April March: her name's in the wrong order!
	4:06pm βrian: @Michael 98145: Me, too. Thought I have to remember to speak with sufficient "water pressure." No mumbling.
	4:07pm michael z: This song is pretty shocking. I wonder how much older the boy is meant to be!!!! She makes the move in the end.
	4:07pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This is from the only France Gall 45 in my collection. I think it was one of those cases where the person had no idea what they were selling since it came in a lot with like 20 other records and I only paid ~$14!
	4:07pm Adrian in London: Ah, Christiansen!! My favourite FG song. It's such a sweet story.
	4:08pm djsheilab: Adrian In London—My favorite too!!
	4:09pm gekko hopman: keith from Oregon: you've made my day
	4:12pm northguineahills: Off to The Wire to read the book review (it sounds familiar).
	4:13pm P-90: I'm actually taking notes, like I'm taking this class for credit
	4:15pm dale: coco pop a record label? great name if i heard right...
	4:16pm gekko hopman: Jean-Emmanuel's english is so ludicrous!
	4:17pm Michael 98145: ( good name for a group, Old Drunk Man on TV :)
	4:19pm Julie: Teenie Weenie Boppie was the first one I loved too. It's just such a fun song!
	4:20pm Devin B.: Love this one!
	4:20pm gekko hopman: France's BEST song.
	4:20pm Jocelyn: Great interview!
	4:21pm Michael 98145: lookie, this already has a gold star
	4:21pm acid casualty: Makes me smile.
	4:21pm dale: what is she saying about lsd?
	4:22pm northguineahills: Thanks for the interview!
	4:22pm Brian Cat: Poupee de Son is the greatest hits a cd. dale - something about hanging out after and lsd trip.
	4:24pm Michael 98145: Teenie weenie boppie Est morte dans la nuit De quoi, mais d'avoir pris Une dose de LSD
	4:24pm Brian Cat: Sheila is playing all the good ones, as usual.
	4:24pm jmr3: that teenie weenie boppie took lsd and drowned in the river and it was Mick Jagger's fault
	4:24pm Yami: Yes someone please translate!
	4:26pm michael z: I was twelve when all this was going on, and remember when Johnny Halliday made fun of Antoine for having long hair before he grew his, and Jacques Dutronc sand about mini skirts. Also a great interview. Thank you once again Sheila
	4:26pm jmr3: or maybe that she died but at least got to party with Mick Jagger?
	4:26pm acid casualty: She had a very bad trip!
	4:26pm Michael 98145: Que sont ces fleurs aux couleurs exquises Qui dérivent au fil du courant C'est Mike Jagger qui dans la Tamise S'est noyé dans ses beaux vêtements What are these exquisitely colored flowers Drifting over the current It's Mike Jagger who in the Thames Drowned in his beautiful clothes
	4:27pm gekko hopman: Sheila, your French is great, the way you pronounce it, where or how did you get that?
	4:27pm Adrian in London: The photo on Sheila's mailout of April's FG EP collection was amazing
	4:28pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This is one of my favorite covers! I first heard this off some compilation album called "Girls Are Evil" which was a whole album of female fronted bands/singers. This was definitely the standout!
	4:29pm βrian: And today I learned a new vocab: La Tamise.
	4:30pm Michael 98145: geez, loving this. thank you again, DJ Sheila
	4:31pm melinda: Enjoying this tribute.
	4:32pm Michael 98145: Il restera cet air-là, à jamais au fond de moi Car pour toujours cet air-là parlera de toi et moi. Il restera cet air-là, à jamais au fond de moi Et je sais que cet air-là te ramènera vers moi. There will remain that air, forever in my heart Because forever that air will talk about you and me. There will remain that air, forever in my heart And I know that air will bring you back to me.
	4:33pm elladelladingdong: A Super Set, Sheila! A couple of my favs by Mlle Gall are "Der Computer Ner 3" (in Allemand!) and "Ne Dis Pas Aux Copains".
	4:35pm DonJuanTijuana: April March=Eleanor....long time NYC hipster
	4:36pm amylea: Magical moment in the late 90's when my cousin gifted me this April March EP. He was expecting more of the Shitbird's sound. :P Lucky me!!!
	4:38pm sugarplumfairywolf: The best 35 francs I ever spent was a paperback of Serge Gainsbourg lyrics, so it had some France Gall lyrics. I had a big French dictionary from taking French classes, but I couldn't really translate that well.
	4:39pm Brian Cat: Le Pick Up issued the Ultrachicks series, which is also thanks to Trouble for playing.
	4:40pm steveo: such a wonderful and thoughtful tribute
	4:40pm sugarplumfairywolf: I bought the Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son 45 for like $3 or $5 at a record fair two years ago which I thought was crazy.
	4:40pm Michael 98145: Annie aime les sucettes, Les sucettes à l'anis. Les sucettes à l'anis D'Annie Donnent à ses baisers Un goût ani- Sé. Lorsqu'elle n'a sur la langue Que le petit bâton, Elle prend ses jambes à son corps Et retourne au drugstore.
	4:41pm sugarplumfairywolf: Can't wait to get home so I can listen to the show :)
	4:42pm elladelladingdong: Serge Gainsbourg was a prick.
	4:43pm Michael 98145: Lorsque le sucre d'orge Parfumé à l'anis Coule dans la gorge d'Annie, Elle est au paradis.
	4:43pm Michael 98145: yikes
	4:44pm Brian Cat: Gainsbouurg was a perv, but his music was well composed. That's the pop world, you get all kinds.
	4:44pm northguineahills: Well, I'm slow, it took me a few minutes the interview was w/ April March.
	4:44pm dale: i've seen video of that talk show but can't seem to find it now. maybe it was on a very old beware of the blog
	4:45pm Julie: the video of les sucettes must be seen to be believed www.youtube.com...
	4:45pm michael z: I think her literal interpretation of Sucettes was perfectly legitimate. I certainly believed it was about lollipops until It was explained to me.
	4:47pm dale: it's hilarious julie. they COULD have gotten some round lollies, but noooooo.
	4:48pm Michael 98145: @Julie, thankx :)
	4:48pm Brian Cat: Also Philips is partly to blame for issuing that record.
	4:49pm Julie: @dale exactly. I was like, what? Don't they have round lollipops in France? creepy.
	4:49pm michael z: What April is saying about innocence is so right. Simplicity and openness are so important to great pop.
	4:50pm βrian: And anise lollipops, after all.
	4:50pm Michael 98145: Chante, danse Baby pop Comme si demain Baby pop Au petit matin Baby pop Tu devais mourir
	4:51pm Michael 98145: this is definitely a 5-credit course, Sheila B
	4:54pm eyenoise: Loving all of this show, DJSheilaB!
	4:56pm Yami: This is so rare in music, I love it.
	4:56pm listener james from westwood: CERTIFIED WFMU PLATINUM RIGHT HERE
	4:57pm Matthew Hall: Weird question: I knew a June April March at Camp Glenbrook in Marlborough New Hampshire. Is there any chance that was you?
	4:59pm listener james from westwood: Hear, hear!
	5:01pm βrian: There's something to be said for taking life a face value, without needing to parse all possible subtleties.
	5:03pm Michael 98145: chachacharming - www.instagram.com...
	5:04pm Brian Cat: Interesting to finally hear the 70s songs of FG.
	5:04pm djsheilab: Thanks for all your wonderful comments!
	5:04pm BabyBear: Sheila, today's show is a gem!
	5:04pm michael z: I had no idea about France Gall's later output. She matured into a really serious artist. Why do we have to wait for deaths to have shows like this. You should treat us to tribute shows Sheila of your favourtie artists.
	5:05pm Yami: The last artist I listened to who I think shows her innocence in her music like that is Norwegian singer Aurora
	5:05pm JasonInBoston: MERCI BEAUCOUP! I first heard this playing on a tiny radio in the beautiful village of Valbonne, in the south of France in an antique store. I fell in love with it immediately. When I watch the video clip of that song, I can see nearby Cannes in the background. It was meant to be!
	5:05pm djsheilab: That's a really great idea Michael Z.
	5:05pm Michael 98145: what michael z said
	5:06pm Joe McG: So glad you're going into the '70s and '80s, Sheila. We have a tendency to undervalue artists' "later" work when in fact this is often when they most thoroughly expressed themselves. (I'm thinking of another artist you interviewed on the show, Lesley Gore, whose later work was actually her most personal.) What an outstanding tribute!
	5:06pm seth from muddy creek: Aaannnnd I just finished my meeting. Aaaaannnd there’s still an amazing set on FMU. Color me peachy. Merci!!
	5:06pm djsheilab: And now a quick dip into France's German output!
	5:07pm Julie: there seems to have been (Or is?) a musical resistelacomediemusicale.fr
	5:08pm Brian Cat: Merci Herr Marquis is only on Ultrachicks.
	5:08pm elladelladingdong: How is she pulling off German, too!!
	5:08pm Julie: Some people actually prefer her later work, the music with Michel
	5:08pm Mr Mark: Would never have known of France Gall if not for hearing the April March cover in Death Proof a few years back.
	5:09pm gekko hopman: Samba Mambo ! Thanx !!!!
	5:10pm officina: YE YE Sheila !!
	5:10pm All out Scott: Hi Sheila sorry Im late.
	5:11pm Julie: first song I ever heard by her!
	5:11pm djsheilab: Julie—WOW!
	5:12pm βrian: It's hard to escape that fromagey effect of the 80s, isn't it?
	5:12pm Michael 98145: heh
	5:13pm michael z: Her phrasing is reminiscent of Veronique Sanson's here. What a great sound and rhythm track.
	5:13pm djsheilab: Brian—Embrace it!
	5:13pm Brian Cat: Brian, not with the British 80s hits.
	5:13pm gekko hopman: Kess' keu say ?
	5:13pm KevinfromBayRidge: Loving the show, Sheila. Just don't dedicate this song to Irwin!
	5:14pm βrian: But I'm afraid it my gum up my polyester leisure suit!
	5:14pm Julie: @sheila we used to get the canadian much music on UHF here in NYC, and this video was always on. This, Vanessa Paradis, Jane Birkin... it was french heaven back in the late 80s.
	5:15pm elladelladingdong: Fromagey!
	5:15pm listener james from westwood: Me: This sounds like it's from about senior year high school. Playlist: You are correct, sir! I know my eighties!
	5:15pm Brian Cat: Brian I think this song was modeled after the American charts.
	5:17pm βrian: Yes, I guess I can see that.
	5:19pm Old Dave: I learned some HS French. Sorry Mme Barr. Haitians I've worked with made sport of my poor grasp on this, as well as one Guinean who was glad to spar on relevant meanings of words. Makes me sad they came from "shithole" countries as described by my president. Not my experience, as a former worker in Palm Beach Island in the landscape industry. As one white landscape company owner told me in 1997, " There would not be one green lawn or proper hedge or tree here if not for Haitian workers." Go suck it, Don! These are the illegals who built your winter home you're shitting on now. And they speak French.
	5:21pm Michael 98145: ( i like saying "Côte d'Ivoire" :)
	5:22pm Christine: Hi Sheila, hi guys!
	5:23pm βrian: Excellent pillow-talk, Michael.
	5:23pm Julie: there are some really nice full length France concert videos on youtube, she is a fun performer.
	5:23pm Jocelyn: Hi Christine!
	5:24pm Passaic River Blues: This is just absurdly good broadcasting right here, Sheila. Thank you so much.
	5:25pm Christine: Hi Jocelyn!
	5:26pm βrian: That hair!
	5:26pm ncjay: Another one from the MuchMusic days, Julie. I was right there too
	5:27pm KidProJoe: These are some amazing songs
	5:27pm Julie: yes NCJay!!
	5:27pm Christine: Shame I'm so late - I'll have to catch up on the whole show later. FG was my absolute fave. Thanks for playing the Zoe song, Sheila!
	5:28pm Michael 98145: @PRB, exactement !
	5:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Old Dave - I hope and trust that Lady Karma will make things right. When bouffon d'orange calls for a doctor one day, I'd like him/her to be Haitian.
	5:29pm Brian Cat: Reflecting on April March, she wants to be a sincere artist and that is something I like about my favorite artists. They want to speak the truth. So I like her, personally, for that. I never heard of her before today.
	5:29pm northguineahills: I had no idea France Gall did music in the 80s.
	5:30pm Michael 98145: J'ai des images qui s'entêtent Babacar J'ai des mots qui frappent Qui sonnent Dans mon corps et dans ma tête. Exactly I have images that are stubborn Babacar I have words that strike That sound In my body and in my head.
	5:31pm Adrian in London: @christine Coucou!
	5:32pm Christine: Hey Adrian! :)
	5:33pm northguineahills: I found the Chavela movie on amazon for like $3. Will watch this remotely w/ my wife (who knows her all too well, being a Mexi).
	5:34pm listener james from westwood: Insta-star for Zeiguer!
	5:35pm ncjay: same here, listener james

	3:05pm βrian: Bien sûr. Comme "brillant".
	3:05pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and sophisticates. Cold, wet, and dreary in the rustbelt. With a boom boom, things just brightened up.
	3:05pm Brian Cat: She loved Jazz, always sang about it. Jazz heart.
	3:06pm djsheilab: And now a more personal welcome to P-90, Listener James, modchick65, Jocelyn, The Contessa, Adrian In London, Brian Cat, Brian, ncjay, Annie, NotARealDoctor, + Cooh John. Thanks for being here with me today for my France Gall tribute.
	3:06pm βrian: Sinon le franglais suffit, naturellement.
	3:08pm dale: hello dere. the sun JUST came out and it's 61 degrees in january - how about that?
	3:09pm Brian Cat: A remake! Great!
	3:09pm Julie: My 2nd most unwieldy box set is a France Gall box, it must be 16" inches long and it doesn't fit in my record shelves. (the first one being the crazy early pink floyd box which I can barely lift) images.eil.com...
	3:10pm djsheilab: Hello dale! Still raining here in Jersey City. But this warm weather is odd!
	3:10pm Brian Cat: best picture ever, Julie.
	3:11pm melinda: hi all
	3:11pm Brian Cat: dale this is commonly referred to as "The January Thaw."
	3:11pm michael z: I wish France could hear this show. I know she would have loved it.
	3:12pm djsheilab: Serge Gainsbourg featuring France Gall's giggles!
	3:12pm djsheilab: Hello Melinda, Julie + Michael Z.!
	3:12pm Bend Sinister: Nous Ne Sommes Pas de Anges always my big favorite. Incredibly uplifting melody.
	3:12pm annie: yep, january thaw; experienced every year while i was growing up.. kinda skipped a few years of late
	3:12pm Jocelyn: That's a great box set! While I adore unique box sets especially with cool packaging I always have trouble storing them in a cohesive manner. They always end up scattered about.
	3:13pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Fairly certain this is the Serge song they used for the dance sequence in the first episode of Legion.
	3:14pm melinda: It seems like the temperature difference between freeze and thaw is larger this year.
	3:14pm Julie: Twinkle!
	3:14pm NotARealDoctor: What is this strange Germanic language? I recognize the tune, but not the language...
	3:15pm djsheilab: Bend Sinister—Excellent choice!
	3:15pm annie: this is the time of year for ice storms
	3:17pm dale: wiki tells me twinke is Lynn Annette Ripley and is from england, which surprised me as she sounded like english was not her first language.
	3:17pm michael z: Is this Serge’s most translated song?
	3:17pm djsheilab: Back-to-back covers of France Gall's "Poupee De Cire, Poupee De Son."
	3:17pm djsheilab: Michael Z—I think so!
	3:18pm NotARealDoctor: WHA?! How many translations do we have?! THIS IS WONDERFUL!
	3:18pm northguineahills: I didn't know there were so many versions!
	3:18pm Bend Sinister: fwiw The Dutch cover at the time : www.youtube.com...
	3:18pm NotARealDoctor: I could listen to a full hour long set of this!
	3:18pm tadpoles: I love your show Sheila and I thank you for it. Cheers.
	3:18pm Adrian in London: I have a feeling that this evening's show may cripple me on Discogs
	3:19pm dale: twinkle's light dimmed in 2015
	3:19pm Yami: Hello everyone
	3:19pm djsheilab: tadpoles—Thank you!
	3:19pm Bend Sinister: Excellent! :-)
	3:19pm Julie: Twinkle was fab as well, Trouble turned me on to her
	3:20pm sugarplumfairywolf: The Twinkle cover was the first France Gall song I ever heard!
	3:20pm steveo: hello and happy to be listening!
	3:20pm JakeGould: Hello Sheila! Came in just in time for Heavenly… Yes! Really freshens up this shithole of a day.
	3:21pm steveo: boy my yellow avatar sure looks bad with the pink could you change it (haha jk)
	3:21pm The Oscar: I think my first exposure to Poupee de Cire was the version by Les Sans Culottes, a pretty great American faux-yeh-yeh group from the early '00s.
	3:21pm sugarplumfairywolf: @Julie: me too! I bought the RPM Twinkle compilation after hearing it in Trouble's show a million years ago
	3:22pm The Oscar: Ha-- this translation is a little less biting than April March's!
	3:22pm Michael 98145: So sad about the reason, but looking forward to this program..
	3:23pm michael z: I love that so many of these songs are not in the interpreters first language.
	3:23pm The Contessa: Hello @Yami!
	3:24pm Adrian in London: There's a good version of Poupée by Belle & Sebastian that they did for a Black Session for Bernard Lenoir on France Inter.
	3:25pm steveo: also please excuse my thoughtlessly gender-specific interjection, i am working on that
	3:25pm michael z: Another...
	3:26pm melinda: I am finally updating my ipod touch software so I can use recent apps (including the WFMU app) and hoping the update doesn't slow things down.
	3:26pm chris: hi there, Sheila and folks. all of this. so good.
	3:30pm Brian in UK: An EP is a wonderful thing.
	3:31pm steveo: aw, great story; i'm sorry for your loss, sheila & everyone
	3:31pm geezerette: Sheila is a sweetie.
	3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - As long as your battery isn't old & worn out, you should be in good shape.
	3:33pm Jocelyn: Years ago at a car boot sale, a woman had a bunch of unique stuff. I fell in love with a cardboard makeup display with France Gall on it. I had the money for it but didn't have a clue how I'd get it home so I passed. I've always regretted that.
	3:34pm Jay Goges: Sheeeeillla B - the best way to end the week
	3:34pm Julie: Did France Gall ever record in English? What about italian? Or only French and German?
	3:35pm Julie: yes! Dancing Disco!
	3:37pm listener james from westwood: Had a feeling this one was from the 70s! Had that sound Air conveys in some tracks, gods bless'em.
	3:38pm djsheilab: Hi chris + Brian in the UK + steveo + Ken from Hyde Park + Jay Goges, + geezerette!
	3:38pm michael z: What an extraordinary song about first love. I never appreciated she could sing with such depth. Sublime. Thank you Sheila.
	3:38pm JasonInBoston: What an excellent tribute show this is! Loving it! Nice one Sheila!
	3:39pm dale: @julie - did you mourn ray thomas?
	3:39pm Michael 98145: ( new francs )
	3:39pm djsheilab: Listener James—Air really did swipe the atmosphere from "Le Meilleur Te Sois Meme" didn't they?
	3:39pm djsheilab: Michael Z.—Oh I wish I could understand the lyrics.
	3:39pm seth from muddy creek: Another great show. I often happen across FMU at this time slot on my way to a meeting. Always puts me in a good space. Thx.
	3:39pm Yami: This is actually my first time listening to France Gall boy have I’ve been missing out her voice is so buttery!
	3:40pm djsheilab: How nice to hear :) Thank you Seth from Muddy Creek.
	3:40pm Julie: @dale oh man you know I do... France & a Moody Blue in the same day, Sunday was ROUGH.
	3:40pm djsheilab: Yami just told me I'm making her cry with these songs.
	3:41pm PBastille: Hi Sheila! Radio appointment kept ;)
	3:41pm Brian Cat: sheila b - didn't you spend some time in Paris? I get a few words here and there, but don't study it enough.

	3:43pm Julie: Sheila, this is you, right? i.skyrock.net...
	3:43pm djsheilab: Glad you're enjoying JasonInBoston!
	3:43pm Brian Cat: Yami, French pop songs are just beautiful. I worked in a studio back in the 70s and there was this French guy who came in and did all the instruments. THat was my first dose of French pop and it was better than the stuff on the radio at the time.
	3:44pm Jocelyn: Shiela, Paris would adore you!
	3:44pm Brian Cat: Sheila, I'm surprised your Francais is not fluent.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Julie—Haha! Love it.
	3:45pm βrian: Was there ever such a thing as ouai-ouai music?
	3:46pm Listener Schned: Sneaking a comment on company property, on company time- Can't wait to hear your show tonight- best dance party going!!
	3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...eh - Parisians only wait to speak Anglais to ya until they see how much you'll embarrass yerself tryin' to parle Francais 1st...
	3:47pm Yami: @Brian Cat that’s amazing it still is better than the stuff on commercial radio lol
	3:47pm mzzmzz: heeiii sbiuee crausie troll listerner here bu'luv'yr'sho'jus'sayin
	3:47pm Michael 98145: La première fois On ne se retient pas On donne le meilleur de soi-même the first time, we don't hold back we give the best of ourself
	3:47pm djsheilab: Thanks for the sneaky hello Listener Schned!
	3:48pm JakeGould: U.S. Girls thumbs up emoji
	3:49pm Brian Cat: Thanks Michael.
	3:49pm djsheilab: Jocelyn :)
	3:50pm Jocelyn: So true! I did have many ask to practice their English with me though.
	3:51pm acid casualty: Love Betty James! She also has a song called ,'I'm not mixed up anymore'
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a generalization obviously...someone observed that people in any major City anywhere have an attitude...& why shouldn't they be proud of their Language?...
	3:52pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Hi everyone!
	3:53pm geezerette: How lovely!
	3:53pm gekko hopman: Bonjour from France. We've never ever been fans of France Gall but what you said is really nice and i wish her family heard that, it was really touching; Thank you so much.
	3:54pm djsheilab: That was Nick Drake's mother.
	3:54pm Brian Cat: I didn't know there was a Molly Drake album! Thank you so much for playing it!
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this lady gave us both Nick...& that stunning Mod chick in 'UFO' w/ the purple bob! Thx Molly.
	3:54pm Jocelyn: Hi Early!
	3:54pm djsheilab: Hey EarlyMorningInSeoul!
	3:55pm dale: martin carthy and his daughter eliza covered that molly drake
	3:57pm acid casualty: @rr. I know, besides, it is fun to ridicule others. Esp, if they have no idea what yr talking about. I thought Parisians were very nice, then again, who knows what they are talking about!
	3:57pm ncjay: this Escondido is lovely! an instant "buy" here
	3:57pm dale: nick drakes sister was the hottie with the purple hair in the series ufo.
	3:57pm thriftstoreleather: ditto, ncjay
	3:58pm Brian Cat: Sheila, it's ok we need to hear the other stuff too. You are the chosen one for this tribute, probably unique to the USA.
	4:03pm βrian: Très bien dit, Sheila !
	4:03pm Michael 98145: @ac :) we have always found the french to be welcoming
	4:04pm Keith from Oregon: April March: her name's in the wrong order!
	4:06pm βrian: @Michael 98145: Me, too. Thought I have to remember to speak with sufficient "water pressure." No mumbling.
	4:07pm michael z: This song is pretty shocking. I wonder how much older the boy is meant to be!!!! She makes the move in the end.
	4:07pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This is from the only France Gall 45 in my collection. I think it was one of those cases where the person had no idea what they were selling since it came in a lot with like 20 other records and I only paid ~$14!
	4:07pm Adrian in London: Ah, Christiansen!! My favourite FG song. It's such a sweet story.
	4:08pm djsheilab: Adrian In London—My favorite too!!
	4:09pm gekko hopman: keith from Oregon: you've made my day
	4:12pm northguineahills: Off to The Wire to read the book review (it sounds familiar).
	4:13pm P-90: I'm actually taking notes, like I'm taking this class for credit
	4:15pm dale: coco pop a record label? great name if i heard right...
	4:16pm gekko hopman: Jean-Emmanuel's english is so ludicrous!
	4:17pm Michael 98145: ( good name for a group, Old Drunk Man on TV :)
	4:19pm Julie: Teenie Weenie Boppie was the first one I loved too. It's just such a fun song!
	4:20pm Devin B.: Love this one!
	4:20pm gekko hopman: France's BEST song.
	4:20pm Jocelyn: Great interview!
	4:21pm Michael 98145: lookie, this already has a gold star
	4:21pm acid casualty: Makes me smile.
	4:21pm dale: what is she saying about lsd?
	4:22pm northguineahills: Thanks for the interview!
	4:22pm Brian Cat: Poupee de Son is the greatest hits a cd. dale - something about hanging out after and lsd trip.
	4:24pm Michael 98145: Teenie weenie boppie Est morte dans la nuit De quoi, mais d'avoir pris Une dose de LSD
	4:24pm Brian Cat: Sheila is playing all the good ones, as usual.
	4:24pm jmr3: that teenie weenie boppie took lsd and drowned in the river and it was Mick Jagger's fault
	4:24pm Yami: Yes someone please translate!
	4:26pm michael z: I was twelve when all this was going on, and remember when Johnny Halliday made fun of Antoine for having long hair before he grew his, and Jacques Dutronc sand about mini skirts. Also a great interview. Thank you once again Sheila
	4:26pm jmr3: or maybe that she died but at least got to party with Mick Jagger?
	4:26pm acid casualty: She had a very bad trip!
	4:26pm Michael 98145: Que sont ces fleurs aux couleurs exquises Qui dérivent au fil du courant C'est Mike Jagger qui dans la Tamise S'est noyé dans ses beaux vêtements What are these exquisitely colored flowers Drifting over the current It's Mike Jagger who in the Thames Drowned in his beautiful clothes
	4:27pm gekko hopman: Sheila, your French is great, the way you pronounce it, where or how did you get that?
	4:27pm Adrian in London: The photo on Sheila's mailout of April's FG EP collection was amazing
	4:28pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This is one of my favorite covers! I first heard this off some compilation album called "Girls Are Evil" which was a whole album of female fronted bands/singers. This was definitely the standout!
	4:29pm βrian: And today I learned a new vocab: La Tamise.
	4:30pm Michael 98145: geez, loving this. thank you again, DJ Sheila
	4:31pm melinda: Enjoying this tribute.
	4:32pm Michael 98145: Il restera cet air-là, à jamais au fond de moi Car pour toujours cet air-là parlera de toi et moi. Il restera cet air-là, à jamais au fond de moi Et je sais que cet air-là te ramènera vers moi. There will remain that air, forever in my heart Because forever that air will talk about you and me. There will remain that air, forever in my heart And I know that air will bring you back to me.
	4:33pm elladelladingdong: A Super Set, Sheila! A couple of my favs by Mlle Gall are "Der Computer Ner 3" (in Allemand!) and "Ne Dis Pas Aux Copains".
	4:35pm DonJuanTijuana: April March=Eleanor....long time NYC hipster
	4:36pm amylea: Magical moment in the late 90's when my cousin gifted me this April March EP. He was expecting more of the Shitbird's sound. :P Lucky me!!!
	4:38pm sugarplumfairywolf: The best 35 francs I ever spent was a paperback of Serge Gainsbourg lyrics, so it had some France Gall lyrics. I had a big French dictionary from taking French classes, but I couldn't really translate that well.
	4:39pm Brian Cat: Le Pick Up issued the Ultrachicks series, which is also thanks to Trouble for playing.
	4:40pm steveo: such a wonderful and thoughtful tribute
	4:40pm sugarplumfairywolf: I bought the Poupee de Cire, Poupee de Son 45 for like $3 or $5 at a record fair two years ago which I thought was crazy.
	4:40pm Michael 98145: Annie aime les sucettes, Les sucettes à l'anis. Les sucettes à l'anis D'Annie Donnent à ses baisers Un goût ani- Sé. Lorsqu'elle n'a sur la langue Que le petit bâton, Elle prend ses jambes à son corps Et retourne au drugstore.
	4:41pm sugarplumfairywolf: Can't wait to get home so I can listen to the show :)
	4:42pm elladelladingdong: Serge Gainsbourg was a prick.
	4:43pm Michael 98145: Lorsque le sucre d'orge Parfumé à l'anis Coule dans la gorge d'Annie, Elle est au paradis.
	4:43pm Michael 98145: yikes
	4:44pm Brian Cat: Gainsbouurg was a perv, but his music was well composed. That's the pop world, you get all kinds.
	4:44pm northguineahills: Well, I'm slow, it took me a few minutes the interview was w/ April March.
	4:44pm dale: i've seen video of that talk show but can't seem to find it now. maybe it was on a very old beware of the blog
	4:45pm Julie: the video of les sucettes must be seen to be believed www.youtube.com...
	4:45pm michael z: I think her literal interpretation of Sucettes was perfectly legitimate. I certainly believed it was about lollipops until It was explained to me.
	4:47pm dale: it's hilarious julie. they COULD have gotten some round lollies, but noooooo.
	4:48pm Michael 98145: @Julie, thankx :)
	4:48pm Brian Cat: Also Philips is partly to blame for issuing that record.
	4:49pm Julie: @dale exactly. I was like, what? Don't they have round lollipops in France? creepy.
	4:49pm michael z: What April is saying about innocence is so right. Simplicity and openness are so important to great pop.
	4:50pm βrian: And anise lollipops, after all.
	4:50pm Michael 98145: Chante, danse Baby pop Comme si demain Baby pop Au petit matin Baby pop Tu devais mourir
	4:51pm Michael 98145: this is definitely a 5-credit course, Sheila B
	4:54pm eyenoise: Loving all of this show, DJSheilaB!
	4:56pm Yami: This is so rare in music, I love it.
	4:56pm listener james from westwood: CERTIFIED WFMU PLATINUM RIGHT HERE
	4:57pm Matthew Hall: Weird question: I knew a June April March at Camp Glenbrook in Marlborough New Hampshire. Is there any chance that was you?
	4:59pm listener james from westwood: Hear, hear!
	5:01pm βrian: There's something to be said for taking life a face value, without needing to parse all possible subtleties.
	5:03pm Michael 98145: chachacharming - www.instagram.com...
	5:04pm Brian Cat: Interesting to finally hear the 70s songs of FG.
	5:04pm djsheilab: Thanks for all your wonderful comments!
	5:04pm BabyBear: Sheila, today's show is a gem!
	5:04pm michael z: I had no idea about France Gall's later output. She matured into a really serious artist. Why do we have to wait for deaths to have shows like this. You should treat us to tribute shows Sheila of your favourtie artists.
	5:05pm Yami: The last artist I listened to who I think shows her innocence in her music like that is Norwegian singer Aurora
	5:05pm JasonInBoston: MERCI BEAUCOUP! I first heard this playing on a tiny radio in the beautiful village of Valbonne, in the south of France in an antique store. I fell in love with it immediately. When I watch the video clip of that song, I can see nearby Cannes in the background. It was meant to be!
	5:05pm djsheilab: That's a really great idea Michael Z.
	5:05pm Michael 98145: what michael z said
	5:06pm Joe McG: So glad you're going into the '70s and '80s, Sheila. We have a tendency to undervalue artists' "later" work when in fact this is often when they most thoroughly expressed themselves. (I'm thinking of another artist you interviewed on the show, Lesley Gore, whose later work was actually her most personal.) What an outstanding tribute!
	5:06pm seth from muddy creek: Aaannnnd I just finished my meeting. Aaaaannnd there’s still an amazing set on FMU. Color me peachy. Merci!!
	5:06pm djsheilab: And now a quick dip into France's German output!
	5:07pm Julie: there seems to have been (Or is?) a musical resistelacomediemusicale.fr
	5:08pm Brian Cat: Merci Herr Marquis is only on Ultrachicks.
	5:08pm elladelladingdong: How is she pulling off German, too!!
	5:08pm Julie: Some people actually prefer her later work, the music with Michel
	5:08pm Mr Mark: Would never have known of France Gall if not for hearing the April March cover in Death Proof a few years back.
	5:09pm gekko hopman: Samba Mambo ! Thanx !!!!
	5:10pm officina: YE YE Sheila !!
	5:10pm All out Scott: Hi Sheila sorry Im late.
	5:11pm Julie: first song I ever heard by her!
	5:11pm djsheilab: Julie—WOW!
	5:12pm βrian: It's hard to escape that fromagey effect of the 80s, isn't it?
	5:12pm Michael 98145: heh
	5:13pm michael z: Her phrasing is reminiscent of Veronique Sanson's here. What a great sound and rhythm track.
	5:13pm djsheilab: Brian—Embrace it!
	5:13pm Brian Cat: Brian, not with the British 80s hits.
	5:13pm gekko hopman: Kess' keu say ?
	5:13pm KevinfromBayRidge: Loving the show, Sheila. Just don't dedicate this song to Irwin!
	5:14pm βrian: But I'm afraid it my gum up my polyester leisure suit!
	5:14pm Julie: @sheila we used to get the canadian much music on UHF here in NYC, and this video was always on. This, Vanessa Paradis, Jane Birkin... it was french heaven back in the late 80s.
	5:15pm elladelladingdong: Fromagey!
	5:15pm listener james from westwood: Me: This sounds like it's from about senior year high school. Playlist: You are correct, sir! I know my eighties!
	5:15pm Brian Cat: Brian I think this song was modeled after the American charts.
	5:17pm βrian: Yes, I guess I can see that.
	5:19pm Old Dave: I learned some HS French. Sorry Mme Barr. Haitians I've worked with made sport of my poor grasp on this, as well as one Guinean who was glad to spar on relevant meanings of words. Makes me sad they came from "shithole" countries as described by my president. Not my experience, as a former worker in Palm Beach Island in the landscape industry. As one white landscape company owner told me in 1997, " There would not be one green lawn or proper hedge or tree here if not for Haitian workers." Go suck it, Don! These are the illegals who built your winter home you're shitting on now. And they speak French.
	5:21pm Michael 98145: ( i like saying "Côte d'Ivoire" :)
	5:22pm Christine: Hi Sheila, hi guys!
	5:23pm βrian: Excellent pillow-talk, Michael.
	5:23pm Julie: there are some really nice full length France concert videos on youtube, she is a fun performer.
	5:23pm Jocelyn: Hi Christine!
	5:24pm Passaic River Blues: This is just absurdly good broadcasting right here, Sheila. Thank you so much.
	5:25pm Christine: Hi Jocelyn!
	5:26pm βrian: That hair!
	5:26pm ncjay: Another one from the MuchMusic days, Julie. I was right there too
	5:27pm KidProJoe: These are some amazing songs
	5:27pm Julie: yes NCJay!!
	5:27pm Christine: Shame I'm so late - I'll have to catch up on the whole show later. FG was my absolute fave. Thanks for playing the Zoe song, Sheila!
	5:28pm Michael 98145: @PRB, exactement !
	5:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Old Dave - I hope and trust that Lady Karma will make things right. When bouffon d'orange calls for a doctor one day, I'd like him/her to be Haitian.
	5:29pm Brian Cat: Reflecting on April March, she wants to be a sincere artist and that is something I like about my favorite artists. They want to speak the truth. So I like her, personally, for that. I never heard of her before today.
	5:29pm northguineahills: I had no idea France Gall did music in the 80s.
	5:30pm Michael 98145: J'ai des images qui s'entêtent Babacar J'ai des mots qui frappent Qui sonnent Dans mon corps et dans ma tête. Exactly I have images that are stubborn Babacar I have words that strike That sound In my body and in my head.
	5:31pm Adrian in London: @christine Coucou!
	5:32pm Christine: Hey Adrian! :)
	5:33pm northguineahills: I found the Chavela movie on amazon for like $3. Will watch this remotely w/ my wife (who knows her all too well, being a Mexi).
	5:34pm listener james from westwood: Insta-star for Zeiguer!
	5:35pm ncjay: same here, listener james
	5:35pm βrian: gulp
	5:36pm Michael 98145: Lovely. ( reminds me of Adrien Reju )
	5:36pm djsheilab: I sent a facebook message to Renata letting her know that I'll be playing her song today, so hopefully she's tuned in + seeing your comments :)
	5:38pm BabyBear: This song is so insanely good
	5:38pm michael z: What a cool guitar outro.
	5:39pm drewo: I will follow you Sheila B! Thanks for another great SOTW!
	5:40pm Michael 98145: here : renatazeiguer.bandcamp.com...
	5:43pm Old Dave: No doubt, Karma will catch up with all who hate with Trump, Ken From. Shameful speech should make us understand how our leaders are making us less trusted and a country of vulgar idiots in the eyes of the world. C'est bon? Non.
	5:44pm djsheilab: Thanks Drewo!
	5:47pm common: Good Friday, sheila and all!
	5:48pm djsheilab: Evenin' common!

	5:51pm ncjay: This Rev-Lons is an absolute classic!
	5:54pm βrian: Trivia: avoir un polichinelle dans le tiroir "To have a bun in the oven."
	5:54pm Adrian in Londres: She made SO MANY great records, didn't she?
	5:55pm michael z: So happy there's a final France Gall track. Thank you Sheila for a brilliant three hours, for those illuminating interviews, and for all of the care you put into your shows. Wishing everyone a great weekend. Stay away from the news!!!!
	5:55pm glenn: hola from the land of freezing rain, snow and ensuing traffic mayhem.
	5:56pm The Contessa: Goodbye Shella, thanks for putting your heart into this show. Bye everyone…
	5:56pm Adrian in Londres: Merci Sheila. What a great show. xx
	5:56pm Brian Cat: Sheila you have outdone yourself with this show. Interesting and inspiring, thank you again. Thank you Yami! Nice to hear from you.
	5:56pm P-90: SUPERB show today, Sheila! You almost outdid yourself, but your shows are always SO good...Thanks, and have a great weekend!

	5:57pm Christine: Thank you, Sheila :)
	5:57pm P-90: ...moving AGAIN?!
	5:57pm Old Dave: Somewhere on this recording they distinctly say "Miss Shelab is feelin' poorly" and another DJ must take her shift. What's up with that? www.discogs.com...
	5:57pm queems: seriously this show is such a joy! thank you sheila!
