	3:14pm djsheilab: Ken From Hyde Park—I'll be chatting to Yami later on air about her future plans! No replacement lined up at the mo.
	3:14pm P-90: And thanks and farewell(?) to the (apparently?) departing Yamile...!
	3:14pm listener james from westwood: digging the show since the git-go but buried in a job estimate; glad to be hearing you from NJ again (was in Chicago last week!)
	3:15pm RomanDogBird: Sheila, it was such a pleasure to talk to you at the fair! (i'm Matt)
	3:15pm djsheilab: Yes, sadly today is Yami's last day on SBB :(
	3:15pm P-90: ...question answered...while I was typing it!
	3:15pm djsheilab: RomanDogBird—Great meeting you!
	3:16pm djsheilab: Hey listener james from westwood!

	3:18pm The Contessa: :( indeed!
	3:18pm Jocelyn: We'll miss Yami!
	3:18pm N.A.R.D.: Oh no! We will miss Yami indeed!
	3:19pm frozen_peas: This is like Sabrina's "Boys" updated for today.
	3:20pm Guido from Cologne: hello Sheila!
	3:22pm djsheilab: hello Guido from Cologne + frozen_peas!
	3:22pm Yami: Hi everyone! I will still be around just not working on the show but once a boomer always a boomer.
	3:23pm N.A.R.D.: Yes! Good to hear, Yami!
	3:23pm The Oscar: I remember this Salt N' Pepa album came out when I was in third or fourth grade-- it's one of the first albums that I can remember a) being everywhere, and b) pretty much everyone agreeing on.
	3:23pm fred: Good afternoon Sheila and all. Nice hearing Salt 'n' Pepa. Brings back memories
	3:25pm N.A.R.D.: @The Oscar, I can remember hearing that album for the first time in the backseat of my babysitter's late 70s Buick. Her son had just bought it on cassette and was excited to put it on.
	3:25pm SeanG: Yo Sheila B! ya gotta DJ in Boston some time! :-)
	3:25pm Guido from Cologne: i was a bit puzzled: "Very Necessary" is from 1993. that fits my memory. www.discogs.com...
	3:26pm N.A.R.D.: Man, I can smell the backseat of that car whenever that song comes on
	3:27pm BronwynB: hello sheila and everyone!
	3:27pm Jocelyn: I'd like to find the man Irma found
	3:27pm frozen_peas: I'm really enjoying boy crazy boom boom.
	3:27pm frannie: (on mobile and not properly signed in but) Sheila it was lovely to meet you Friday night at the record fair! You served a great beer :)
	3:27pm The Oscar: @Guido That fits with mine, too, unless it was a long-gestating sleeper hit.
	3:29pm N.A.R.D.: Oh man! That's what I was thinking too, @Guido, @The Oscar, I didn't even notice the playlist said 1989. That was a completely different babysitter in 89.
	3:29pm listener james from westwood: Yami, you rule! Sad to read in the newsletter you'll be leaving, and hoping you'll be down at the station to volunteer here and there as you can!
	3:30pm N.A.R.D.: In 1989 I would've been more interested in Sing-Along Silly Songs and Raffi than in Salt n' Pepa
	3:33pm N.A.R.D.: Oh Sheila! Maybe people are looking for songs that degrade women for research?
	3:33pm N.A.R.D.: At least that's what I want to believe
	3:33pm SeanG: there's no "e" in Charli!
	3:33pm D. Lightfoot: I have a weak spot for Lily
	3:33pm djsheilab: N.A.R.D....Haha! Yes, that's probably the reason. Not for a dinner party mix as I thought ;-)
	3:38pm JakeGould: Hello Sheila and others!
	3:39pm Itzall Ablurr: Loving this new one from Ms. Hardy. Pre-ordered the CD and have been enjoying the Amazon download. She just gets better and better, in my opinion.
	3:39pm northguineahills: wow, new Francoise Hardy!
	3:39pm SeanG: diggin' the new Francoise for sure
	3:40pm D. Lightfoot: Great show today Sheila
	3:41pm northguineahills: Pic-Nic, new to me!
	3:42pm Will from Seattle: I'm pretty sure this song is using an American folk melody I've hear before, but I can't put my finger on it. I remember hearing Pete Seeger doing it maybe?
	3:42pm Guido from Cologne: Seems like this is Jeanette singing.
	3:42pm Yami: Thank you @listener James from Westwood , I will be around this summer for sure
	3:42pm djsheilab: Will from Seattle—It's "Tiny Sparrow!"
	3:43pm Guido from Cologne: Jeanette of "Porque Te Vas" fame ... big hit over here.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Guido from Cologne—Pic-Nic was Jeanette's first band.
	3:43pm Will from Seattle: oh right. The pete seeger version is called 'come all ye fair & tender ladies'
	3:43pm N.A.R.D.: @Will, I can definitely remember Peter, Paul, and Mary (maybe?) singing that! Thanks DJ Sheila B! I was in the same spot! Couldn't remember what it was!
	3:44pm djsheilab: I think that "Tiny Sparrow" / "Come All Ye Fair...." comes from a very old English folk song. I think Joan Baez's "Silver Dagger" has the same melody. And Saint Etienne's "Like A Motorway."
	3:45pm djsheilab: Thanks D. Lightfoot!
	3:46pm djsheilab: Francoise Hardy also has an English-language memoir coming out: www.amazon.com...
	3:49pm Cecile: Love La Roux.
	3:49pm Joey Headset: Ooh, La Roux on vox. Haven't heard anything from her in a while.
	3:50pm northguineahills: @djsheilab @ 3:44: correct, as per usual....
	3:51pm N.A.R.D.: I always think of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and King Friday whenever someone says "Correct as usual", lol
	3:52pm P-90: feeling a touch of Disco fever right now
	3:55pm Sem: Embrace the mirrored ball, P-90.
	3:56pm northguineahills: (I have my Mr. Rogers forever stamps).
	3:56pm N.A.R.D.: <3 <3 <3
	3:56pm BronwynB: YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS
	3:57pm northguineahills: (been to Yokusuka, actually have some stories from there [none of them disco related unfortunately])
	3:57pm N.A.R.D.: !!!!!!
	3:58pm EG_Astro: WOW THIS SONG!
	3:58pm Yami: I’m blown away with this song
	3:58pm P-90: Murray! The ORIGINAL JUDAS!
	3:58pm listener james from westwood: Had no idea the open of this Chess track was so elaborate!
	3:59pm djsheilab: And we have Bjorn + Benny from ABBA to thank for this slice of brilliance. And Tim Rice.
	4:00pm mrdonutsu: If you're only going to see one Chess musical...
	4:00pm Guido from Cologne: Had no idea that this was Murray Head. Heard it a million times ... must admit i had to ... it was on a mix tape played over and over in a car on a journey.
	4:00pm SeanG: those trumpet synths
	4:01pm N.A.R.D.: I didn't know Murray Head played Judas, I have a hard time picturing anyone other than Carl Anderson in that role. He even played Judas when I saw it live.
	4:02pm northguineahills: I know that song very well, but never heard of Murray Head.
	4:03pm modchick65: Hi everyone. It's weird how "One Night In Bangkok" takes me back to my junior high school. Like, I'm back IN the school. The hallways, the dances, etc. It's so much more than just the memories associated with other songs. I guess because I've not really listened to that song that much apart from in that specific period of time/context.
	4:03pm listener james from westwood: In the pre-search days, a friend asked me who the hell did this song. It took 2 months, but while I was in L.A., it came on the radio, and I frantically looked up the station's phone # in the hotel room phonebook (yes) and got the DJ, then called at god-knows-what-rates back to my friend in NJ to tell her. Elaborate!! Now that's like 10 seconds stem to stern by way of smartphone research and texting the answer.
	4:05pm N.A.R.D.: @NGH, that's literally the only song I know by Murray Head
	4:05pm D. Lightfoot: I really liked that Whyte Horses. Once again, you are my conduit to diggable new stuff I would never come across otherwise
	4:06pm P-90: Ahhh... the "pre-search" days... the smell of those hotel phone books...
	4:08pm P-90: Wait, the Turkish music whiz is from Krakow?
	4:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: For a question like "What's the capital city of Guatemala and what is its population?" you'd have to go to a library and find an encyclopedia. Now you speak the question into your phone or your home's always-listening device and you get the answer in a second.
	4:10pm northguineahills: @Ken: such technology make my only cognitive talent obsolete, my bros. joke.
	4:11pm N.A.R.D.: KFHP, I used to have my Broderbund Almanac for those questions
	4:11pm N.A.R.D.: I actually still have it, but I imagine a few things may have changed since 1991...
	4:16pm Passaic River Blues: Keen insight, Kornelia!
	4:16pm Cecile: I thought they were a little more progressive...
	4:17pm N.A.R.D.: @Cecile, they are a bit more progressive compared to most middle-eastern countries, but compared to women in most Western countries they are still very far behind
	4:20pm frozen_peas: Well said, Sheila! And this interview is fascinating.
	4:21pm Jocelyn: This interview is so Wow!
	4:21pm dano59: This is a new pinnacle of excellence Sheila !! <3
	4:21pm dano59: This is a new pinnacle of excellence Sheila !! <3
	4:22pm djsheilab: Thank you everyone! I give full credit to Kornelia, who speaks from such enormous depth + heart. So much more to come!
	4:23pm northguineahills: @NARD: Especially outside Istanbul and Izmir. There's a reason my Turkish friends have no intention of returning any time soon.
	4:25pm N.A.R.D.: Yes, my own family is from Armenia, and my grandfather when he would HAVE to go to Turkey (he worked for the Armenian government in the 90s) refused to go anywhere outside of Istanbul
	4:25pm N.A.R.D.: I understand things have devolved even further since then. I doubt if he were alive he'd want to visit Turkey at all.
	4:26pm djsheilab: Kornelia + her Ladies On Records instagram account: www.instagram.com...
	4:26pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Good afternoon from Detroit Sophisti-Cats!
	4:29pm ncjay: I'm putting this album RIGHT on pre-order now. Cornelia is so into the music and full of info
	4:30pm djsheilab: Kornelia with Huri Sapan: www.chachacharming.com...
	4:31pm djsheilab: Here's the pre-order link for Turkish Ladies: www.twoheadeddog.com...
	4:31pm PJ: Interviews like this are why I love WFMU
	4:31pm Yami: I’m so happy this exists and this music will be heard amongst people like me who have never heard Turkish music!
	4:33pm northguineahills: Selda was my gateway to Turkish psyche music, she's amazing (and that was 18 years ago)
	4:34pm N.A.R.D.: I've actually gone ahead and pre-ordered this because it reminds me of my childhood with my grandpa.
	4:37pm Cecile: omg. Gul was the name of my high school friend. She passed away last year. It means Rose.
	4:37pm Passaic River Blues: @NGH: definitely. Selda, Baris Manco, Nese Alkan. I don't know much but music by any of them from the 1970s is tough to beat.
	4:38pm Jocelyn: That was such a powerful conversation
	4:38pm ncjay: @Cecile, Sezen Aksu has a beautiful song called "Gullerim Soldu" = "My Roses Have Faded" from 1990 or so.
	4:39pm Itzall Ablurr: Dear God, if all of my "pre-orders" show up on the same day or even WEEK... oh well. The 'ol "But Tish, just think what I MIGHT have spent that money on?!?" gambit.
	4:39pm Guido from Cologne: Cem Karaca! His early 70ies albums (all comps actually. Just a recommendation.
	4:40pm chris: so damn great!
	4:45pm Guido from Cologne: already ordered the album
	4:46pm Cheri Pi: *mew mew mew mew!
	4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay for all things Turkish. No wonder Sweden cribbed their meatball recipe.
	4:50pm sibeliuss: really really great interview!!
	4:51pm still b/p: I have wonderful comp, Women of Istanbul, with performances/ recordings from 1920s to 40s. Ataturk encouraged more social-cultural participation of women, according to the notes, but cultural and family views made for same difficulties discussed here today.
	4:54pm PJ: Pull up to the bumper baby
	4:56pm fred: A coworker was in a moderately successful band in Turkey. Maybe I should ask him what he thinks of that comp
	4:56pm Cooh John: Hello Sem. It has been a while. A boom to you in the booming bay of Fundy.
	4:57pm The Contessa: Kornelia is amazing! Can anyone know their subject better than she knows hers? Such a great interview!
	4:57pm P-90: Another fabulous SBB interview!
	5:02pm djsheilab: Thanks The Contessa + P-90! Isn't Kornelia exceptional?
	5:03pm djsheilab: Thank you sibeliuss!
	5:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice interview and presentation. Browsing today's communiqué — I like how DJ Monica's eyes match her jacket. Will you be in town next Saturday for WFMUrovision, Sheila?
	5:04pm djsheilab: And big thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered the compilation!
	5:05pm Jocelyn: Hoping you'll have Kornelia back sometime. That was amazing
	5:05pm djsheilab: Thank you, Jocelyn. She's very special!
	5:07pm SeanG: light up my life!
	5:09pm Jocelyn: That's one of my favourite Madonna songs. It's such a fun breezy song. I'm also willing to admit I love the movie.
	5:16pm ncjay: that timer SFX had me running to the kitchen!
	5:19pm Rob Kopp: Hi everybody. Again much too late (dinner with old neighbors).
	5:19pm Guido from Cologne: Amber Mark has something.
	5:20pm PJ: So much good music today, Sheila
	5:21pm djsheilab: Thank you PJ! Hey Rob Kopp!
	5:24pm northguineahills: I probably should get back to work, thanks Sheila!
	5:26pm northguineahills: Emma Tricca has an updated Karen Dalton vibe, me likes!
	5:27pm Rob Kopp: Coming Tuesday one of my former bosses is retiring. He's a music lover, just like I am, so I thought the first album of Chavela Vargas from 1961 would be a good farewell present, don't you think?
	5:28pm Jocelyn: Rob, that would be a great gift!
	5:28pm Guido from Cologne: Emma Tricca can be considered somewhat of a freak folk revival veteran. This post-punk-folk-something is a completely new approach.
	5:29pm Passaic River Blues: @Guido: it's an approach I fully endorse.
	5:29pm Will from Seattle: Jun Togawa does a great cover of this song in Japanese www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm The Contessa: Honoured to say I met Vera Lynn once. She has beautiful hands! What a great track!
	5:31pm fred: Jun Togawa is wonderful
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: I mean: Sheila learned me about Natalia Lafourcade, and when you find out that one of her most beautiful covers La Lllorena originally is from Chavela Vargas...
	5:32pm The Contessa: Thank you Yami, for looking after Sheila
	5:34pm seedfriend: Beautiful LALA!
	5:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good luck on your new adventures, Yami. With WFMU on your resumé, you're bound to go far.
	5:35pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Very nice song!
	5:36pm Rob Kopp: Sorry, Sheila and Adrian, but I didn't manage to get the RSD-release by Sevdaliza in NL for you. Hopefully you found other ways.
	5:36pm Passaic River Blues: Beautiful selection here, Yami.
	5:37pm Guido from Cologne: clicky star
	5:40pm chris: lol! :)
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: "at home". that's probably what most commenters feel
	5:41pm fred: I guess people who want to hear Sheila and tune it too early can be in for a marbles in a blender shock
	5:43pm P-90: Thanks so much, Yami!
	5:44pm Jocelyn: Thank you, Yami! We're going to miss you.
	5:44pm The Contessa: I bet Yami's glad we persuaded her to go to see Sevdaliza! Bye for now Yami x
	5:44pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Best of luck Yami!
	5:46pm Jocelyn: Oh this song is threatening my mascara
	5:46pm The Contessa: @ Rob, that is very kind of you to have tried. Adrian managed to get it after RSD, but not after queuing for HOURS on the day!!
	5:51pm Rob Kopp: @ Contessa: The least I could do was try. My personal goal was the single by Chris Bell (I am the cosmos / You and your sister), but it wasn't delivered in the Netherlands anywhere. But I managed to get it on Ebay.
	5:51pm The Contessa: Well, that was dreamy!
	5:52pm common: happy Friday! beeeersies!
	5:52pm drumsoverbogota: Good luck Yami! Cheers from Colombia! :)
	5:53pm The Contessa: @Rob, I hope you didn't have to pay too much over the original price! Adrian said things he wanted were on eBay while he was still queuing
	5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mother's Day in the US May 12. Get your cards and presents in the mail soon. Everyone give your mom an extra warm hug.
	5:54pm Yami: Thank you everyone! And yes I am so glad I did @the contessa
	5:55pm northguineahills: Got back to work for the end! Gracias Sheila, Kornelia y Yami. buena suerte en tus esfuerzos!
	5:56pm P-90: Promise you'll come back and visit @Yami!
	5:56pm northguineahills: (gringo espanol es gringo).
	5:56pm P-90: Abbey Lincoln: one of the all-time greats
	5:57pm Rob Kopp: @Contessa. Paid 10. Far less than the amounts you see on Popsike for the original issue from the 70's.
	5:58pm Steve B._Parsippany_NJ: Great show Sheila (as usual!) Yami--all the best to you in your new endeavors. <Girls laughing! always cute!> Have a blessed night!
	5:58pm Yami: I promise I will still be with Sheila in spirit and on the comments board.
	5:59pm drumsoverbogota: Since Liz Berg left this is my new favorite program <3 Thank you for this delightful afternoon!
	5:59pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Sheila (will listen to the entire show tomorrow), bye everyone.
	5:59pm michaelz: Thank you Sheila - A great show, and wishing everyone a terrific weekend.
	5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Have a good fortnight, Sheila. Tale care. Yami.
	6:00pm The Contessa: Magnificent show! Thank you Sheila and Kornelia. Ooh, that Vara Lynn… Bye everyone
	6:00pm Rob Kopp: All the best Yami
	6:00pm ncjay: wonderful show as always, Sheila - way above the mean though! All the best to Yami in her next endeavor!
	6:01pm P-90: Have MUCH fun in Baltimore and DC, DJ Sheila B!
	6:01pm Passaic River Blues: Wonderful program today, Sheila. Thank you!
	6:04pm djsheilab: Thanks gang!!!!! I'm off on a 4 hour drive to Baltimore now for more DJing! Xoxox
	6:58pm LCBD: My husband asked if only men call in. Glad that Lily represented!!
	6:59pm LCBD: There was a sweet shop in Chicago back in the 70s run by red-headed triplets. I don’t recall the name.
	2:25pm Michael 98145: .♥....•♫♪¸

	3:14pm djsheilab: Ken From Hyde Park—I'll be chatting to Yami later on air about her future plans! No replacement lined up at the mo.
	3:14pm P-90: And thanks and farewell(?) to the (apparently?) departing Yamile...!
	3:14pm listener james from westwood: digging the show since the git-go but buried in a job estimate; glad to be hearing you from NJ again (was in Chicago last week!)
	3:15pm RomanDogBird: Sheila, it was such a pleasure to talk to you at the fair! (i'm Matt)
	3:15pm djsheilab: Yes, sadly today is Yami's last day on SBB :(
	3:15pm P-90: ...question answered...while I was typing it!

	3:16pm djsheilab: Hey listener james from westwood!

	3:18pm The Contessa: :( indeed!
	3:18pm Jocelyn: We'll miss Yami!
	3:18pm N.A.R.D.: Oh no! We will miss Yami indeed!
	3:19pm frozen_peas: This is like Sabrina's "Boys" updated for today.
	3:20pm Guido from Cologne: hello Sheila!
	3:22pm djsheilab: hello Guido from Cologne + frozen_peas!
	3:22pm Yami: Hi everyone! I will still be around just not working on the show but once a boomer always a boomer.
	3:23pm N.A.R.D.: Yes! Good to hear, Yami!
	3:23pm The Oscar: I remember this Salt N' Pepa album came out when I was in third or fourth grade-- it's one of the first albums that I can remember a) being everywhere, and b) pretty much everyone agreeing on.
	3:23pm fred: Good afternoon Sheila and all. Nice hearing Salt 'n' Pepa. Brings back memories
	3:25pm N.A.R.D.: @The Oscar, I can remember hearing that album for the first time in the backseat of my babysitter's late 70s Buick. Her son had just bought it on cassette and was excited to put it on.
	3:25pm SeanG: Yo Sheila B! ya gotta DJ in Boston some time! :-)
	3:25pm Guido from Cologne: i was a bit puzzled: "Very Necessary" is from 1993. that fits my memory. www.discogs.com...
	3:26pm N.A.R.D.: Man, I can smell the backseat of that car whenever that song comes on
	3:27pm BronwynB: hello sheila and everyone!
	3:27pm Jocelyn: I'd like to find the man Irma found
	3:27pm frozen_peas: I'm really enjoying boy crazy boom boom.
	3:27pm frannie: (on mobile and not properly signed in but) Sheila it was lovely to meet you Friday night at the record fair! You served a great beer :)
	3:27pm The Oscar: @Guido That fits with mine, too, unless it was a long-gestating sleeper hit.
	3:29pm N.A.R.D.: Oh man! That's what I was thinking too, @Guido, @The Oscar, I didn't even notice the playlist said 1989. That was a completely different babysitter in 89.
	3:29pm listener james from westwood: Yami, you rule! Sad to read in the newsletter you'll be leaving, and hoping you'll be down at the station to volunteer here and there as you can!
	3:30pm N.A.R.D.: In 1989 I would've been more interested in Sing-Along Silly Songs and Raffi than in Salt n' Pepa
	3:33pm N.A.R.D.: Oh Sheila! Maybe people are looking for songs that degrade women for research?
	3:33pm N.A.R.D.: At least that's what I want to believe
	3:33pm SeanG: there's no "e" in Charli!
	3:33pm D. Lightfoot: I have a weak spot for Lily
	3:33pm djsheilab: N.A.R.D....Haha! Yes, that's probably the reason. Not for a dinner party mix as I thought ;-)
	3:38pm JakeGould: Hello Sheila and others!
	3:39pm Itzall Ablurr: Loving this new one from Ms. Hardy. Pre-ordered the CD and have been enjoying the Amazon download. She just gets better and better, in my opinion.
	3:39pm northguineahills: wow, new Francoise Hardy!
	3:39pm SeanG: diggin' the new Francoise for sure
	3:40pm D. Lightfoot: Great show today Sheila
	3:41pm northguineahills: Pic-Nic, new to me!
	3:42pm Will from Seattle: I'm pretty sure this song is using an American folk melody I've hear before, but I can't put my finger on it. I remember hearing Pete Seeger doing it maybe?
	3:42pm Guido from Cologne: Seems like this is Jeanette singing.
	3:42pm Yami: Thank you @listener James from Westwood , I will be around this summer for sure
	3:42pm djsheilab: Will from Seattle—It's "Tiny Sparrow!"
	3:43pm Guido from Cologne: Jeanette of "Porque Te Vas" fame ... big hit over here.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Guido from Cologne—Pic-Nic was Jeanette's first band.
	3:43pm Will from Seattle: oh right. The pete seeger version is called 'come all ye fair & tender ladies'
	3:43pm N.A.R.D.: @Will, I can definitely remember Peter, Paul, and Mary (maybe?) singing that! Thanks DJ Sheila B! I was in the same spot! Couldn't remember what it was!
	3:44pm djsheilab: I think that "Tiny Sparrow" / "Come All Ye Fair...." comes from a very old English folk song. I think Joan Baez's "Silver Dagger" has the same melody. And Saint Etienne's "Like A Motorway."
	3:45pm djsheilab: Thanks D. Lightfoot!
	3:46pm djsheilab: Francoise Hardy also has an English-language memoir coming out: www.amazon.com...
	3:49pm Cecile: Love La Roux.
	3:49pm Joey Headset: Ooh, La Roux on vox. Haven't heard anything from her in a while.
	3:50pm northguineahills: @djsheilab @ 3:44: correct, as per usual....
	3:51pm N.A.R.D.: I always think of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and King Friday whenever someone says "Correct as usual", lol
	3:52pm P-90: feeling a touch of Disco fever right now
	3:55pm Sem: Embrace the mirrored ball, P-90.
	3:56pm northguineahills: (I have my Mr. Rogers forever stamps).
	3:56pm N.A.R.D.: <3 <3 <3
	3:56pm BronwynB: YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS
	3:57pm northguineahills: (been to Yokusuka, actually have some stories from there [none of them disco related unfortunately])
	3:57pm N.A.R.D.: !!!!!!
	3:58pm EG_Astro: WOW THIS SONG!
	3:58pm Yami: I’m blown away with this song
	3:58pm P-90: Murray! The ORIGINAL JUDAS!
	3:58pm listener james from westwood: Had no idea the open of this Chess track was so elaborate!
	3:59pm djsheilab: And we have Bjorn + Benny from ABBA to thank for this slice of brilliance. And Tim Rice.
	4:00pm mrdonutsu: If you're only going to see one Chess musical...
	4:00pm Guido from Cologne: Had no idea that this was Murray Head. Heard it a million times ... must admit i had to ... it was on a mix tape played over and over in a car on a journey.
	4:00pm SeanG: those trumpet synths
	4:01pm N.A.R.D.: I didn't know Murray Head played Judas, I have a hard time picturing anyone other than Carl Anderson in that role. He even played Judas when I saw it live.
	4:02pm northguineahills: I know that song very well, but never heard of Murray Head.
	4:03pm modchick65: Hi everyone. It's weird how "One Night In Bangkok" takes me back to my junior high school. Like, I'm back IN the school. The hallways, the dances, etc. It's so much more than just the memories associated with other songs. I guess because I've not really listened to that song that much apart from in that specific period of time/context.
	4:03pm listener james from westwood: In the pre-search days, a friend asked me who the hell did this song. It took 2 months, but while I was in L.A., it came on the radio, and I frantically looked up the station's phone # in the hotel room phonebook (yes) and got the DJ, then called at god-knows-what-rates back to my friend in NJ to tell her. Elaborate!! Now that's like 10 seconds stem to stern by way of smartphone research and texting the answer.
	4:05pm N.A.R.D.: @NGH, that's literally the only song I know by Murray Head
	4:05pm D. Lightfoot: I really liked that Whyte Horses. Once again, you are my conduit to diggable new stuff I would never come across otherwise
	4:06pm P-90: Ahhh... the "pre-search" days... the smell of those hotel phone books...
	4:08pm P-90: Wait, the Turkish music whiz is from Krakow?
	4:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: For a question like "What's the capital city of Guatemala and what is its population?" you'd have to go to a library and find an encyclopedia. Now you speak the question into your phone or your home's always-listening device and you get the answer in a second.
	4:10pm northguineahills: @Ken: such technology make my only cognitive talent obsolete, my bros. joke.
	4:11pm N.A.R.D.: KFHP, I used to have my Broderbund Almanac for those questions
	4:11pm N.A.R.D.: I actually still have it, but I imagine a few things may have changed since 1991...
	4:16pm Passaic River Blues: Keen insight, Kornelia!
	4:16pm Cecile: I thought they were a little more progressive...
	4:17pm N.A.R.D.: @Cecile, they are a bit more progressive compared to most middle-eastern countries, but compared to women in most Western countries they are still very far behind
	4:20pm frozen_peas: Well said, Sheila! And this interview is fascinating.
	4:21pm Jocelyn: This interview is so Wow!
	4:21pm dano59: This is a new pinnacle of excellence Sheila !! <3
	4:21pm dano59: This is a new pinnacle of excellence Sheila !! <3
	4:22pm djsheilab: Thank you everyone! I give full credit to Kornelia, who speaks from such enormous depth + heart. So much more to come!
	4:23pm northguineahills: @NARD: Especially outside Istanbul and Izmir. There's a reason my Turkish friends have no intention of returning any time soon.
	4:25pm N.A.R.D.: Yes, my own family is from Armenia, and my grandfather when he would HAVE to go to Turkey (he worked for the Armenian government in the 90s) refused to go anywhere outside of Istanbul
	4:25pm N.A.R.D.: I understand things have devolved even further since then. I doubt if he were alive he'd want to visit Turkey at all.
	4:26pm djsheilab: Kornelia + her Ladies On Records instagram account: www.instagram.com...
	4:26pm own crabapplesatellite Johnzon: Good afternoon from Detroit Sophisti-Cats!
	4:29pm ncjay: I'm putting this album RIGHT on pre-order now. Cornelia is so into the music and full of info
	4:30pm djsheilab: Kornelia with Huri Sapan: www.chachacharming.com...
	4:31pm djsheilab: Here's the pre-order link for Turkish Ladies: www.twoheadeddog.com...
	4:31pm PJ: Interviews like this are why I love WFMU
	4:31pm Yami: I’m so happy this exists and this music will be heard amongst people like me who have never heard Turkish music!
	4:33pm northguineahills: Selda was my gateway to Turkish psyche music, she's amazing (and that was 18 years ago)
	4:34pm N.A.R.D.: I've actually gone ahead and pre-ordered this because it reminds me of my childhood with my grandpa.
	4:37pm Cecile: omg. Gul was the name of my high school friend. She passed away last year. It means Rose.
	4:37pm Passaic River Blues: @NGH: definitely. Selda, Baris Manco, Nese Alkan. I don't know much but music by any of them from the 1970s is tough to beat.
	4:38pm Jocelyn: That was such a powerful conversation
	4:38pm ncjay: @Cecile, Sezen Aksu has a beautiful song called "Gullerim Soldu" = "My Roses Have Faded" from 1990 or so.
	4:39pm Itzall Ablurr: Dear God, if all of my "pre-orders" show up on the same day or even WEEK... oh well. The 'ol "But Tish, just think what I MIGHT have spent that money on?!?" gambit.
	4:39pm Guido from Cologne: Cem Karaca! His early 70ies albums (all comps actually. Just a recommendation.
	4:40pm chris: so damn great!
	4:45pm Guido from Cologne: already ordered the album
	4:46pm Cheri Pi: *mew mew mew mew!
	4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay for all things Turkish. No wonder Sweden cribbed their meatball recipe.
	4:50pm sibeliuss: really really great interview!!
	4:51pm still b/p: I have wonderful comp, Women of Istanbul, with performances/ recordings from 1920s to 40s. Ataturk encouraged more social-cultural participation of women, according to the notes, but cultural and family views made for same difficulties discussed here today.
	4:54pm PJ: Pull up to the bumper baby
	4:56pm fred: A coworker was in a moderately successful band in Turkey. Maybe I should ask him what he thinks of that comp
	4:56pm Cooh John: Hello Sem. It has been a while. A boom to you in the booming bay of Fundy.
	4:57pm The Contessa: Kornelia is amazing! Can anyone know their subject better than she knows hers? Such a great interview!
	4:57pm P-90: Another fabulous SBB interview!
	5:02pm djsheilab: Thanks The Contessa + P-90! Isn't Kornelia exceptional?
	5:03pm djsheilab: Thank you sibeliuss!
	5:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice interview and presentation. Browsing today's communiqué — I like how DJ Monica's eyes match her jacket. Will you be in town next Saturday for WFMUrovision, Sheila?
	5:04pm djsheilab: And big thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered the compilation!
	5:05pm Jocelyn: Hoping you'll have Kornelia back sometime. That was amazing
	5:05pm djsheilab: Thank you, Jocelyn. She's very special!
	5:07pm SeanG: light up my life!
	5:09pm Jocelyn: That's one of my favourite Madonna songs. It's such a fun breezy song. I'm also willing to admit I love the movie.
	5:16pm ncjay: that timer SFX had me running to the kitchen!
	5:19pm Rob Kopp: Hi everybody. Again much too late (dinner with old neighbors).
	5:19pm Guido from Cologne: Amber Mark has something.
	5:20pm PJ: So much good music today, Sheila
	5:21pm djsheilab: Thank you PJ! Hey Rob Kopp!
	5:24pm northguineahills: I probably should get back to work, thanks Sheila!
	5:26pm northguineahills: Emma Tricca has an updated Karen Dalton vibe, me likes!
	5:27pm Rob Kopp: Coming Tuesday one of my former bosses is retiring. He's a music lover, just like I am, so I thought the first album of Chavela Vargas from 1961 would be a good farewell present, don't you think?
	5:28pm Jocelyn: Rob, that would be a great gift!
	5:28pm Guido from Cologne: Emma Tricca can be considered somewhat of a freak folk revival veteran. This post-punk-folk-something is a completely new approach.
	5:29pm Passaic River Blues: @Guido: it's an approach I fully endorse.
	5:29pm Will from Seattle: Jun Togawa does a great cover of this song in Japanese www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm The Contessa: Honoured to say I met Vera Lynn once. She has beautiful hands! What a great track!
	5:31pm fred: Jun Togawa is wonderful
	5:32pm Rob Kopp: I mean: Sheila learned me about Natalia Lafourcade, and when you find out that one of her most beautiful covers La Lllorena originally is from Chavela Vargas...
	5:32pm The Contessa: Thank you Yami, for looking after Sheila
	5:34pm seedfriend: Beautiful LALA!
	5:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good luck on your new adventures, Yami. With WFMU on your resumé, you're bound to go far.
	5:35pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Very nice song!
	5:36pm Rob Kopp: Sorry, Sheila and Adrian, but I didn't manage to get the RSD-release by Sevdaliza in NL for you. Hopefully you found other ways.
	5:36pm Passaic River Blues: Beautiful selection here, Yami.
	5:37pm Guido from Cologne: clicky star
	5:40pm chris: lol! :)
	5:41pm Rob Kopp: "at home". that's probably what most commenters feel
	5:41pm fred: I guess people who want to hear Sheila and tune it too early can be in for a marbles in a blender shock
	5:43pm P-90: Thanks so much, Yami!
	5:44pm Jocelyn: Thank you, Yami! We're going to miss you.
	5:44pm The Contessa: I bet Yami's glad we persuaded her to go to see Sevdaliza! Bye for now Yami x
	5:44pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Best of luck Yami!
	5:46pm Jocelyn: Oh this song is threatening my mascara
	5:46pm The Contessa: @ Rob, that is very kind of you to have tried. Adrian managed to get it after RSD, but not after queuing for HOURS on the day!!
	5:51pm Rob Kopp: @ Contessa: The least I could do was try. My personal goal was the single by Chris Bell (I am the cosmos / You and your sister), but it wasn't delivered in the Netherlands anywhere. But I managed to get it on Ebay.
	5:51pm The Contessa: Well, that was dreamy!
	5:52pm common: happy Friday! beeeersies!
	5:52pm drumsoverbogota: Good luck Yami! Cheers from Colombia! :)
	5:53pm The Contessa: @Rob, I hope you didn't have to pay too much over the original price! Adrian said things he wanted were on eBay while he was still queuing
	5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mother's Day in the US May 12. Get your cards and presents in the mail soon. Everyone give your mom an extra warm hug.
	5:54pm Yami: Thank you everyone! And yes I am so glad I did @the contessa
	5:55pm northguineahills: Got back to work for the end! Gracias Sheila, Kornelia y Yami. buena suerte en tus esfuerzos!
	5:56pm P-90: Promise you'll come back and visit @Yami!
	5:56pm northguineahills: (gringo espanol es gringo).
	5:56pm P-90: Abbey Lincoln: one of the all-time greats
	5:57pm Rob Kopp: @Contessa. Paid 10. Far less than the amounts you see on Popsike for the original issue from the 70's.
	5:58pm Steve B._Parsippany_NJ: Great show Sheila (as usual!) Yami--all the best to you in your new endeavors. <Girls laughing! always cute!> Have a blessed night!
	5:58pm Yami: I promise I will still be with Sheila in spirit and on the comments board.
	5:59pm drumsoverbogota: Since Liz Berg left this is my new favorite program <3 Thank you for this delightful afternoon!
	5:59pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Sheila (will listen to the entire show tomorrow), bye everyone.
	5:59pm michaelz: Thank you Sheila - A great show, and wishing everyone a terrific weekend.
	5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Have a good fortnight, Sheila. Tale care. Yami.
	6:00pm The Contessa: Magnificent show! Thank you Sheila and Kornelia. Ooh, that Vara Lynn… Bye everyone
	6:00pm Rob Kopp: All the best Yami
	6:00pm ncjay: wonderful show as always, Sheila - way above the mean though! All the best to Yami in her next endeavor!
	6:01pm P-90: Have MUCH fun in Baltimore and DC, DJ Sheila B!
	6:01pm Passaic River Blues: Wonderful program today, Sheila. Thank you!
	6:04pm djsheilab: Thanks gang!!!!! I'm off on a 4 hour drive to Baltimore now for more DJing! Xoxox
	6:58pm LCBD: My husband asked if only men call in. Glad that Lily represented!!
	6:59pm LCBD: There was a sweet shop in Chicago back in the 70s run by red-headed triplets. I don’t recall the name.
