	3:10pm djsheilab: Hello kpx + Rick G!

	3:12pm Handy Haversack: Ooof, ngh, I am sorry, friend. We were all thinking about you today.
	3:12pm ZeeBee: Hello Sheila and friends! Happy to be here!
	3:13pm northguineahills: had to cancel my doctor's appt, couldn't afford $150 (difficulty, FL, no expanded medicaid). Still ticking off boxes for other social services, but rather spend time applying for any job, not only GIS....
	3:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Sheila and superspreaders of sophistication.
	3:13pm tim from champaign (now washington): ngh - Good to hear. I know libraries in my neck of the woods are offering free wi-fi outside the buildings. I don't know if that's the case where you are.
	3:13pm djsheilab: Hello ZeeBee, Ken from Hyde Park, + Stillwell Coney Islander!
	3:14pm Jett: Great to be listening to the brilliance of my favorite deejay, I hope you are well, hopefully Alvy Singer is also okay. I'm doing okay, just a bit snitzy kind of like the day. Stay well. @djsheilab
	3:14pm northguineahills: most public wi-fi I've found around here are gated, so crappy bandwidth to get anything done. My phone hotspot has been a compromise thusfar.
	3:15pm djsheilab: Thanks for asking about Alvy, Jett. It's been a good week for my lil' man!
	3:17pm cal: Hey Sheila, Glad to be here today! All my best for a good show!
	3:18pm jn34282: @jett very cloudy in my neck of the woods @djsheliab tough when the furkids get old
	3:18pm djsheilab: Thanks Cal! I hope you enjoy the tunes :)
	3:18pm northguineahills: gracias por los buenos deseos, amigos y amigas!
	3:19pm matthew glass: Hi Sheila! Happy to be with you here!
	3:19pm Heidee: Hey there, Sheila B., good to be here and enjoying some sophisticated sounds. Hey listeners!
	3:19pm Ramblin' Ray: Beautiful.
	3:19pm Rick G: Great first (for me) newsletter message, Sheila. I’m trying to ease off platforms too and am happy to have folks like you as an example.
	3:20pm northguineahills: Don't hear to many Sahari jazzy tunes....
	3:20pm djsheilab: Hey matthew glass! And I iz happy you're here!
	3:21pm djsheilab: Hey Heidee! So glad you enjoyed—Ramblin' Ray. I am in awe of that Mariem Hassan number.
	3:21pm Phillippe Bastille: I hope things pick up soon, NGH
	3:21pm Handy Haversack: Fuerte y suerte, ngh. (Hope that makes some kind of sense.) Hey, Heidee.
	3:22pm ?: That miream Hassan track was really lovely
	3:22pm Jett: Alvy has a great nurse/caretaker/head cook and bottle washer. Happy to hear my buddy's doing okay. @djsheilab
	3:23pm Heidee: Hiya Handy! 🤝
	3:23pm northguineahills: It's all good, Phillipe, as I've been told by my partner, I speak gringo spanglish....
	3:23pm jn34282: @Heidee this show and a few others have turned me onto such wonderful music
	3:23pm djsheilab: Indeed, to the mystery ? person with very fine taste!
	3:24pm Jett: I'm used to the Manolo Escobar version of "Porompompero" This one is new to me.
	3:24pm Heidee: jn34282 - I know, right? Shout out to all Habibis.
	3:25pm kpx: @djsheilab: Cherie Ko cover version of "when you sleep".don't know if you know it, but if not it's the best version I've heard.
	3:25pm jn34282: @Heidee a very big shout out
	3:25pm DjLorraine: I glad i can fully focus on your show djsheila
	3:26pm Vanessa: acckkk! i missed 'wounded'
	3:27pm Jett: "Lonely Guitar" by Annette is a big favorite, I love this one so much. ty 4 playing.
	3:27pm a polished polish lady: Hello everyone
	3:28pm Michael 98145: @lady, Dzień dobry
	3:28pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	3:29pm listener 126464: Hi Sheila B., everyone.
	3:29pm Heidee: Hey ami ad!
	3:29pm ZeeBee: Oooo I just got my wfmu shirts in the mail! Big smiles.
	3:29pm a polished polish lady: Dzieki @michael
	3:30pm ami ad: Heidee. Hi. Got plans for the weekend?
	3:30pm jn34282: @Shelia you and the rest of this station do a very good job of it
	3:31pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Barry Gibb always makes me think of a line from one of the more eccentric regulars at the record store I worked at, the day he came in raving about the show he'd just been to: "Barry Gibb! Better than the New York Dolls. Better than the Ramones. Better than the BEATLES!"
	3:34pm karlward: HELL YEAH. Welcome to real life again.
	3:34pm Big Kat: BECAUSE MS. B IS SO HUMBLE (and rightfully/righteously disco-necked'ed from social media), here are some Links for y'all to show your support for her bold move: LINKEDIN.com/posts/benjaminemerson_muzak-officeinterior-wfh-activity-6740307609972178944-w5zh TWITTERcom/realBenEmerson/status/1334541983579254789 FACEBOOK.com/benjammin.emerson/posts/10221936932425326
	3:34pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Joe McGasko! OK. That glass of wine and Sheila's tunes revived me. I'm making a sauce.
	3:34pm Jason from Houston: Dang. You deactivate LinkedIn, too?
	3:35pm Handy Haversack: Now I want to get on social media just so I can get off social media!
	3:35pm michael z: Well done Sheila. You are going to be so much less anxious and will have time to appreciate what a special person you are.
	3:36pm Big Kat: @βrian we already know you are not on these platFIRMs lol
	3:36pm Michael 98145: ( @HH, re:bc, mission accomplished )
	3:36pm cal: Is there a 12 Step group to get off social media?
	3:36pm Heidee: Sheila, your words are so honest and loving, thank you. ami ad, boringly, I'm back to paper grading. Listening to WFMU helps. What about yourself?
	3:36pm Travisano66: I have only ever used Facebook. I have never used it on my Phone. This keeps me from being its slave. I hope that you can find such a balance.
	3:36pm Stanley: This site is the only social media worth being on.
	3:36pm Kpx: I'm like 7UP, never had it, never will.
	3:36pm tim from champaign (now washington): Go Sheila!
	3:36pm Big Kat: @cal it's a one-step program. Think Wiley Coyote at cliff's edge lol
	3:37pm northguineahills: I never use social media, but I keep FB b/c one of my friends can't afford his phone bill, so he uses public wi-fi to stay in touch via FB.
	3:37pm Michael 98145: what Stanley just said
	3:37pm Niall: @cal: in my experience, there are two steps: 1. GTFO 2. Start hanging out in the WFMU chat room. You're at least halfway there. ;)
	3:37pm cal: Big Kat. Ha ha Ha .
	3:38pm Despeinada from Texas: Hiiiii Sheila and sophisticates. Happy to be listening.
	3:38pm The Oscar: I more or less got off Facebook a few years ago and haven't looked back. Unfortunately, as a writer, I probably have to keep the Twitter going for now (at least until I reach a point where I don't need it!)
	3:38pm Big Kat: @Travisano66 how nice (haha #snarchasm) You're ACTUALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW oops
	3:38pm mmeghan: wow i love this song
	3:38pm Phillippe Bastille: Interesting article here on how the Internet and social media are breaking the baby boomer brains: theweek.com...
	3:39pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:39pm Michael 98145: nice production
	3:39pm jn34282: I think with the accu, will be as close to social media as people will get
	3:39pm Big Kat: OKAY, let's skip the holier-than-POW "I don't have social remedia..." It's much the same as "I never watch television...:" lol
	3:41pm tim from champaign (now washington): The only social media I use is the FMU comments board and Goodreads. I use goodreads to keep track of books that I read because book titles leave my brain the second I finish a book.
	3:41pm Morgan: you’re an inspiration, sheila
	3:41pm winston legthigh: good friday afternoon vibes djsheilab, gang. good to cu ngh!
	3:41pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	3:41pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:41pm paddy in matawan: Kinda hard to quit social media when it is the only source of info on some of your hobbies/interests.
	3:42pm Cooh John: I see you, DjLorraine 🌈
	3:42pm Morgan: i got my 1st and only phone in 2017. now i have the attention span of a fruitfly
	3:42pm dreamyandseedy: can you believe aaliyah was 15 when she sang this? she did another amazing isley cover a few years later "choosey lover".
	3:42pm djsheilab: Thank you, Morgan! Hey winston legthigh, Big Kat, mmeghan, DJLorraine + paddy in matawan!
	3:42pm djsheilab: Despeinada from Texas! Hey lovely!
	3:42pm northguineahills: feliz viernes, winston!
	3:43pm DjLorraine: Hi Jett. And welcome to Joe McGasko
	3:43pm Big Kat: (NOT bitter) In my profession as a "Creative F#ckwad", knowledge of the INNARDS of this bullsh!t digital world, social media, cumspooters, et al. is requisite. It sucks. BUTT [sic] it gives me a nice HAL-go-rhtyhm to GET INSIDE and DESTROY from within. (COming Soon mwuahaha!!)
	3:43pm ami ad: @Heidee: Fun. No plans here.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Hey The Oscar, Niall, Stanley, Travisano66, karlward, ami ad, listener 126464, Vanessa + a polished polish lady!
	3:44pm Niall: Eeeyello, @djsheilab.
	3:44pm djsheilab: Luxuriating in your words, michael z.!
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Freya'sday & LadyB time ! ...Problem is the Monopoly does some things well & other things really badly. Like selling our data & not being transparent... I'm reminded of the Police protecting some whole murdering others - though that's probly not much of a comparison... Point is that it's complicated discussing it. Here's a great exposition of the Big Tech Monopolies - & even what should be done about it : psychedelicsalon.com... & I've see that the Electronic Freedom Foundation has their own podcast now too...
	3:45pm Vanessa: gorgeous singing!
	3:45pm Jett: That Aaliyah used to get played at my house back in the day. Haven't heard it in quite a while. Lovely song. Hello to my friend @DjLorraine
	3:45pm Vanessa: one of my cats, dinah, is reclining listening to this
	3:46pm Michael 98145: practice aloha, friends
	3:46pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:46pm a polished polish lady: Hi DJSB! Just realized we have the same initials <3
	3:46pm Dave: Sounds like maybe that was Daddy Ernie on guitar.
	3:46pm Monica: Doesn't get any gooier than Aaliyah:) Lovely soundtrack for assembling a sofa.
	3:47pm Mike tp: thang...
	3:47pm a polished polish lady: I deleted FB several months ago. I don’t even want to think about what it was like leading up to the election. And afterwards!
	3:48pm djsheilab: Monica—Gooey! Perfect. What a loss. She was so suited to softness.
	3:48pm Big Kat: Ms. B's props, hotlinked: LINKEDIN.com...  TWITTER.com... FACEBOOK.com...
	3:48pm DjLorraine: Cooh John! Thanks for introducing me to 🎁 WFMU
	3:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Isleys one of Hendrix's better early employers for those of us who think about that...
	3:49pm Heidee: ami ad, and thats how it should be. Enjoy. 🕺
	3:49pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hooray for Monica!
	3:49pm northguineahills: what the good Rev Rabbit said....
	3:50pm Despeinada from Texas: Every so often I disconnect from socials —my car was stolen Sunday and something clicked again and I deactivated. I’ll go back eventually but even temporary breaks are so helpful.
	3:50pm northguineahills: Arethra, pre-clickied!
	3:50pm Big Kat: @a polished polish lady@ Election2020 it wasn't as bad as we'd "hoped" it to be. Basically had to keep cleansing, rinsing, and disinfuckting one's feed.
	3:50pm Cooh John: This Aretha song is on my jukebox!
	3:51pm Matt Fiveash: I was soullessly dead eyed scrolling through instagram when you talked about quitting social media on the last mic break! Felt like being a junkie watching an anti-dope PSA on TV...
	3:51pm winston legthigh: just read ur bio djsheilab. opened for testament made me weak in the knees. bravo!
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: Onion break! Hey, winston!
	3:52pm djsheilab: Matt Fiveash—Haha! Brilliant! Well, you were one of the first in our lot to abandon FB.
	3:53pm Matt Fiveash: Yeah, at least there's that. I know instagram is owned by the same horrible ghouls but feels marginally less toxic than FB did.
	3:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good!!
	3:53pm djsheilab: Despeinada from Texas—Sorry to hear about your car :(
	3:54pm BH: for whatever reason, following celebrities on instagram feels better than following them on twitter. I still hate that Instagram uses an algorithm timeline instead of a sequential one
	3:54pm Big Kat: @MAtt Fiveash@ take one of these and call in [sic] in the morning. Trust me: youtu.be...
	3:55pm winston legthigh: handy! its almost time to mix up the medicine.
	3:55pm still b/p: @despeinada -- sorry for your loss to low damn thieves, for the material hit and more.
	3:56pm The Oscar: The funniest thing that I've realized I like about being off Facebook is the ability to think of people from my past and think "I wonder whatever became of them?" and not having the answer. I was in college when FB started, so I've never experienced adulthood without it.
	3:56pm Handy Haversack: Hotsie motsie, no kidding, winston. What a week.
	3:56pm mmeghan: love this vibe today sheila
	3:57pm djsheilab: Hey Mike tp, still b/p + RRNov63!
	3:57pm djsheilab: Thanks mmeghan :)
	3:57pm latenightseamstress: I've been off social media for a while and loving it too! best decision I ever made
	3:57pm Guido from Cologne: Thanks for the introduction to the Sounds of Asia collection. Just bought the whole collection.
	3:58pm northguineahills: Digging this Michelle for some reason....
	3:58pm Despeinada from Texas: Thanks, y’all. I had it 14 years and for at least three lifetimes. That’s the part that sucks. So many stories. I was pretty stunned but then this happened not three blocks from my house yesterday: https://m.sacurrent.com/ArtSlut/archives/2020/12/03/san-antonio-burlesque-performer-st-shimi-dies-at-49
	3:58pm djsheilab: Guido from Cologne—Woo hoo!
	3:58pm fionnland: Och that Michelle track was braw!
	3:59pm cal: Phillippe Bastille, I read that article about brain burnout on social media and baby boomers. Boy, that article really spoke to me. How much time I spend on Facebook is mind blowing. Many of my boomer friends are there. Hard to imagine leaving it. Sheila B is a bold and brave soul!
	3:59pm djsheilab: latenightseamstress—Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I have a feeling I'm going to feel the same.
	3:59pm djsheilab: "I get cold when I'm cornered." Love that lyric!
	4:00pm northguineahills: que chinga, Despeinada from Texas. Ouch. I have to figure out how to pay for my car before xmas, but at least it won't be technically stolen....buena suerte!
	4:00pm still b/p: Never signed on to FB or Instagram, was lightly-briefly on Twitter several ago. The concept of "following celebrities" seems soooooo alien.
	4:00pm ncjay: this Julia Church is an instant purchase for me! thanks Sheila!
	4:00pm listener james from westwood: Despeinada from Texas: Good heavens, how tragic and horrifying!
	4:01pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I wish Instagram wasn't owned by the amoral Zuck because I follow a lot of artists (painters mostly) on it and really enjoy that.
	4:01pm Handy Haversack: An article Mark Hurst gave me about one of his guests who took his nonprofit arts org off Facebook. I think businesses that use it should ask what it really brings them: news.artnet.com...
	4:02pm djsheilab: ncjay—Yay!
	4:02pm northguineahills: (I never lock my car [it's a standard transmission]), or when I had a domicile, I never locked the front doors out of principle, and I never had a problem. Now that I'm in FL, maybe I should reconsider such approach.
	4:02pm kpx: Jumping on the FMU chat from time to time is about as sociable as I get. in person I can go for days without exchanging a single word between others.
	4:02pm BH: for very obvious reasons, this has been a slow year for the genre of Instagram posts by celebrities vacationing in beautiful to photograph places FB stopped being fun for me when I graduated from college, over a decade ago
	4:03pm Cooh John: WFMU-- Where Friends and Music is the Ultimate
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I do find it makes symbolic sense Zuckerbird created faceborg in a dorm because his social interaction was actually insufficient - & now he controls the largest Communications, Media & Publishing platform that's ever existed by far. & in the pandemic while everything else collapses the Zuckerbirds & Bezzos have expanded their obscene wealth by $100s of Billions... They answer to no one.
	4:04pm Heidee: Gotta go, pity, will look into archives. Have a lovely day, all.
	4:04pm still b/p: @woods of NH -- what region of (now Maine)?
	4:04pm jn34282: @KPX i think the accu has a lot of knowledgeable oeople on here and There are tines when i just learn new stuff
	4:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @still b/p Close to Bar Harbor.
	4:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Yes. I keep hoping that the musicians who do live shows will move over to do Bandcamp live streaming. Pretty much the only thing I use fb for.
	4:06pm ami ad: Heidee: Take care. Hope for good grades.
	4:06pm Vanessa: yay, alvy!!!
	4:06pm jn34282: @kpx i meant times
	4:06pm Jett: That lucky cuddler! @djsheilab
	4:06pm Heidee: Cheers, ami ad, see you around.
	4:06pm BH: looking back on it, Facebook messaging people who were across the hallway was sorta inefficient but at the time it seemed fun?
	4:06pm Morgan: healthy beasts are a blessing
	4:06pm a polished polish lady: Yay Alvy! ᨐᵉᵒʷ
	4:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Sheila B! Hello, friends! I'm working, so I won't be very present on the comments page, but I want to wish everyone a beautiful, safe afternoon/evening/whatever time it is where you are.
	4:07pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Wendy! I am making a sauce here!
	4:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I had tickets for Rickie Lee Jones...so bummed.
	4:08pm Dave In Leicester: Habibi and Los Bitchos are on my post Covid must see live list
	4:08pm northguineahills: I remember back in the day (16 years ago), gchatting w/ roommates when our laptops were touching each other....
	4:08pm still b/p: Made many trips from Portland and hiked many of the trails and small mountains, but haven't been back up to Acadia area for a long while.
	4:09pm Phillippe Bastille: @cal I still have facebook, but only to be able to access the marketplace, as we don't tend to buy our stuff new. My Instagram got hacked a couple years ago and I never bothered to unhack it. Basically down to twitter, which I typically only look at a couple times a month. But then I look at my phone stats and I'm still 2+ hours a day on it...
	4:09pm Aric: What is better? Facebook, MySpace, or Friendster?
	4:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @still b/p Really fun to walk along the ocean drive in the middle of the winter.
	4:09pm Oli: This show is now my official Friday evening date (it's 10 pm here in Belgium) <3
	4:10pm kpx: @jn34282: Here! Here!. ain't that the tooth.
	4:10pm northguineahills: Aye, Aaliyah died in a plane crash in thre Bahamas in 2001.... (I feel old)
	4:11pm DjLorraine: Rev rabbit wrote: faceborg Haha
	4:11pm BH: instant messenger programs were a lot of fun, before various programs were killed off and everything got moved onto phones
	4:11pm still b/p: So Zuckerberg is like The Mule in Asimov's Foundation Trilogy -- impotent, so he goes for domination of the galaxy or universe.
	4:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): For some reason it was a little shocking when I saw that the Michelle record came out on Atlantic. My thought was "major labels still put out new music?". I guess that shows how in tune I am.
	4:12pm northguineahills: Frienster and MySpace were so insidious w/ sellling data (I remember frienster from 2003, still feeling old).
	4:12pm PaulRobeson1920: NYC’s own son, Neil Postman, has valuable insights into the social tech issues of our time... Try “Technopoly” or “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business” - Neil Postman is a reliable and reputable source.
	4:12pm Peter in SEA: @Sheila: We watched Mangrove on your rec' and omg SO FANTASTIQUE! Thank you! Lovers Rock was great too! New Steve McQueen "TV" on Evil Empire Network ;-)
	4:12pm Despeinada from Texas: I love Zadie Smith’s Billie Holiday essay sooooo much: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/06/crazy-they-call-me/amp
	4:12pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, just completed my Bandcamp haul and boy are my fingers tired!!
	4:12pm northguineahills: they were less insidious w/ selling data....
	4:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh! We're talking about ditching social media! YES. I love this topic. I got rid of FB over two years ago and I've never regretted it. The more one learns about FB and its ilk (and there are many, many excellent books and articles about this, in addition to Mark Hurst's work), the further one typically wants to get from it.
	4:13pm Despeinada from Texas: The audio is equally outstanding. Read it and then listen to Smith reading.
	4:14pm northguineahills: Ethel Waters new to me (how is that possible?)
	4:14pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Anybody have opinions on VERO? I've seen some people move there. Two issues here really, the evilness of fb/insta vs. just wasting time on social media in general
	4:15pm Feldpausch: A song made me shed a tear
	4:15pm cal: @Phillippe Cant imagine giving up facebook, tik tok. Can learn to moderate. Lots of productive things to do !
	4:16pm PaulRobeson1920: A million ways to spend your time
	4:16pm Aric: There was make out club before Friendster! BBS was essentially social media before all that. Meeting age appropriate people on the bbs and then out in real life was the thing to do in high school.
	4:16pm djsheilab: Wendy del Formaggio—That's exactly why I decided to be done with it all. These are not forces for good.
	4:16pm northguineahills: Karen O, used to have a huge crush on her (some of you have heard my story of when I ran into her at a party in the wild, tdr, I panicked.)
	4:17pm Jett: @northguineahills Haven't you ever seen the film, "Cabin In The Sky" ? Great one!
	4:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: Exactly! Rock on, Sheila B! I think I probably missed your commentary in a mic break before I tuned in, but I'll check out the archives. I always love your mic breaks. You say excellent, relevant things with clarity and force.
	4:18pm ZeeBee: Back from a lovely walk. I am loving the show Sheila! I left facebook and instagram a couple months ago and it is still sinking in how negative those platforms were for my mental health, happy to go on walks and listen to wfmu after work instead of scrolling. Much more deliberate time in my life now. Your show always inspires such positivity for me! Thank you.
	4:18pm Chris M: Oh that song about the lynched man - so sad Sheila B...
	4:18pm northguineahills: Thanks, Jett, will look for it...
	4:19pm djsheilab: Hey Aric, PaulRobeson1920, Feldpausch, WoodsofNH, Dave In Leicester + Oli!
	4:19pm djsheilab: Chris M.—Devastating.
	4:19pm northguineahills: desert blues, auto clicky....
	4:19pm cal: @Wendy I find Sheila inspirational and a breathe of fresh air!
	4:20pm Phillippe Bastille: I never really got into facebook that much, so it's been easy to stay away. It wasn't long after I signed up that one of my nieces made a post that showed her wearing a pair of generic sweatpants along with the message "Loving my new sweatpants!! <3 <3". I realized it wasn't worth my time.
	4:20pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: A bit of a damp and dreary, overcast somewhat rainy day here, but this show sure brightens it up. Happy Friday, all!
	4:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: @cal: Right on! Me too.
	4:21pm northguineahills: @Phillipe: reminds me of a certain Donovan song....
	4:22pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⌯•̩̩̩́ ˑ̫ •̩̩̩̀⌯꒱
	4:22pm Chris M: @Geoffrey Right On!
	4:22pm djsheilab: Thank you ZeeBee! Sounds like your social media purge has resulted in all good things!
	4:22pm Jett: @northguineahills Ethel Waters, Lena Horne, and Rochester are great in the film. It's a Busby Berkeley/Vincent Minnelli production.
	4:22pm tim from champaign (now washington): Astrud Gilberto is like homeopathic blood pressure medicine.
	4:22pm kpx: You see their Facebook, people are breaking their addiction of you. So Ha!, In Your Face!, Facebook!
	4:23pm Aric: Hi djshielab
	4:24pm northguineahills: Astrud! (if I were to ever have kids, and it was a daughter, that would be her name). obrigato, Jett!
	4:24pm winston legthigh: hi wendy, long time no see!
	4:25pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. I've been as busy as at least TWO beavers!
	4:25pm Handy Haversack: OK! Sauce is on the simmer (Wendy taught us exactly what that means!), and I can chillax a little more with you fine folx.
	4:25pm djsheilab: Hey Geoffrey in Ottawa + Carmichael!
	4:25pm cal: @Wendy, Like minded being. I will tune in Monday!
	4:25pm djsheilab: tim from champaign—Such a balm.
	4:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ooh. I'm loving this Reptaliens. Their name alone is cool. @Winston: Hi! @Handy: Hi!
	4:26pm Mike tp: suspicion vibe to reptilians tune.i like it.
	4:26pm winston legthigh: sauce tastes saucier with cheese!
	4:27pm Monica: yo, tim from champaign (now from washington)! hope all is well with you and yours.
	4:27pm cal: Reptalians are smooth and sweet!
	4:27pm Handy Haversack: Wise words, winston.
	4:28pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The weird thing (or maybe not) is that there are folks on fb...a few relatives, some high school and college classmates...whom I talk to only there. But I haven't even been doing that for months and months. And somehow, I can't bring myself to shut down the account.
	4:29pm northguineahills: the name Reptaliens reminds of the Outkast album, Atliens....
	4:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: @WoodsOfNH: Everyone gets to choose in this regard, but if I may, here's how I maintained contact with folks when I was planning to shut down my FB: I sent messages to everyone I wanted to stay in touch with. I invited them to email me, or become my pen-pal (actual letters and postcards!) if they'd like. I gained MANY pen-pals, including at least two WFMU DJs.
	4:30pm Chris M: @Sheila B Yes FB is NOT a force for good (the others I am not on) and I often tell people who usually agree it is a waste of time but I cant quit it!!!
	4:31pm Chris M: Social media on a downward spiral ever since Myspace got bought by Rupert Murdock!
	4:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Wendy del Formaggio: That's a good idea. Interestingly, me and my closest friend started writing letters back and forth during this mess.
	4:33pm djsheilab: Chris M—In your own time! I'd been wanting to quit for at least two years before I made the move.
	4:33pm michael z: This is my idea of a perfect set - slow, slinky and sad.
	4:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Monica! Thanks for asking. My 4 year old daughter and 16 month old son are regularly boogying down. Hope things are good on your end!
	4:35pm jn34282: @djsheliab mark hurst has inspired a lot of people to quit social media.
	4:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Woods: Writing letters also supports our USPS, which needs us to believe in it, use it, and advocate for funding it.
	4:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Having Mark Hurst on WFMU is a mitzvah.
	4:36pm Big Kat: Looking forward to getting HIRED inna FT job so I can burn my socialmedia empyre to the ground and kick its ashes into a gutter. Until then, .. —oh F#CK, WHY AM I A CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL??
	4:36pm tim from champaign (now washington): There's lots of connections in the set. Karen O to "Karen O". Reptaliens and Little Dragons. Maybe I wasn't supposed see the patterns.
	4:36pm Morgan: that was nice
	4:36pm jn34282: @Wendy damn right
	4:37pm kpx: Hey there Wendy Del: Thanks for what you said @4:06, I know you're a foodie, so I'm not going to even pretend to talk food. because I'm your atypical slobbery bachelor. just mainly because I border somewhere between having a low to no income.
	4:37pm Miss G: Aw, sniff remembering that feeling to come into Manhattan from wherever, and be "home." (Although not born there.) Thanks for the wishes Sheila B about exiles returning home.
	4:37pm Morgan: so many public gardens in manhattan are closing too
	4:37pm Big Kat: @kpx Top Rahmen for daze
	4:38pm Jett: @djsheilab You always manage to give me comfort. Thanks for that! The love that you put into these shows always comes across.
	4:38pm tim from champaign (now washington): Speaking of Manhattan, I'm reading Luc Sante's "Low Life" right now. It's informative, good writing and hilarious too.
	4:38pm Big Kat: @djsheilab for VP in 2024 (Harris as POTUS)
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, tim, that's a stone classic.
	4:39pm Morgan: the ethel waters was heartbreaking
	4:39pm northguineahills: @Miss G: me too, Brooklyn will always be my home...
	4:40pm dreamyandseedy: so glad i skipped pointless work meeting to listen to your show today!
	4:40pm northguineahills: ok, sheilab doped up this single of the week....!
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: Wendy @4:35 [2nd post]: Seriously!
	4:40pm Big Kat: Shygirl's "Slime" photo in the PL is gonna make me hurl.
	4:41pm tim from champaign (now washington): That's some Dave Lynch style cover art right there.
	4:41pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday Everyone!
	4:42pm Jason from Houston: Let us know if you find the clean version of that CupcakKe song!
	4:42pm northguineahills: feliz viernes, Jocelyn!
	4:42pm djsheilab: Jason from Houston—Haha! I wish! Every other word in that song is a no-no for daytime radio!
	4:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: @kpx: I don't consider myself a foodie. I'm just a nerd who loves to eat. :-) Also, solidarity to you, my friend. My income is also precipitously low, and COVID ain't helped that none. I do the best I can with my state/town's resources. Our social safety nets in VT are stronger, and I sure need 'em. I wish you the best, and all the good food you want, need, and deserve.
	4:43pm djsheilab: Hey Jocelyn!
	4:43pm Rob Kopp: Mooi means beautiful in Dutch, and that's what she is
	4:43pm Heidella: So happy to be here! That Karen O song was perfection.
	4:43pm djsheilab: Thanks for the translation Rob! She is very beautiful.
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: It's a very mooi show, Sheila! Kate, Bagpipe, 1-3 cats at a time, and I are digging it hard.
	4:45pm djsheilab: Hey Heidella! Glad you dug that Karen O beauty!
	4:45pm kpx: @Big Cat: I just happened to bought a six-pack of Nissin Cup-o- Noodles.
	4:45pm Jason from Houston: Hahaha... It's like, not worth playing!
	4:50pm Stillwell Coney Islander: I ❤️ NY * My hometown
	4:52pm northguineahills: Today in 1875, Boss Tweed escaped from jail. It didn't go well for him: history.house.gov... (I'm side-eyeing a certain executive of a certain nation right now....)
	4:55pm Big Kat: @kpx if you're feelin' fancy, get a can of water chestnuts and throw 'em in. (true)
	4:56pm jn34282: @NGH does his last name starts with a T:)
	4:56pm northguineahills: Nissin is my comfort food, a fave of mine since the 3rd grade....
	4:57pm Big Kat: Off-topic: Does anyone else believe people first inhabited the moon until we sucked it dry, then managed to fly to earth? (Ergo, we are the aliens the Aztecs portended.)
	4:57pm Big Kat: Just checking.
	4:58pm Threemoons: ABBA!
	4:58pm Aric: @bigkat I want to believe!
	4:58pm listener james from westwood: Aw, that Strawberry Story track was sweet. I want to go to there.
	4:59pm kpx: @Wendy Del: Aw Thanks, that's the nicest thing anyone has said to me since I don't know when. the only thing I can say is I just hope things don't get worse. because if they do a lot of us we'll just have to give up eating. thank goodness air is still free. but it won't be long before they figure out how to charge us for that.
	4:59pm Carmichael: Local PBS station was showing the big ABBA documentary last night.
	5:02pm Vanessa: love this song in any version
	5:02pm michael z: Dionne at her best.
	5:02pm jn34282: Ohh wish I could triple love this dionne song
	5:03pm tim from champaign (now washington): Oh man. Dionne Warwick Burt Bacharach songs are instant blood pressure reducers too.
	5:03pm artbrau: ooh. Dionne and Burt were the top team in pop, IMHO . So much ear candy.
	5:03pm djsheilab: Vanessa, michael z., jn34282 + tim from champaign—Sublime!
	5:03pm djsheilab: artbrau—So much!
	5:04pm tim from champaign (now washington): SHeila - can you play it again back-to back? :)
	5:04pm still b/p: I'm all for a Dionne version, but it could do without flute and horn and strings of little taste.
	5:04pm Joe McG: Dionne hitting the spot, Sheila!
	5:04pm Vanessa: very deep early childhood associations with hearing dionne's comforting, confiding voice, even before i knew any words
	5:04pm artbrau: After Burt's passing, Gayolrd did an amazing retrospective.
	5:04pm Jett: I was listening to Helen Shapiro's version of "Walk On By," and I think it's as great as Dionne's version. You reminded me, by playing Dionne. Where do you stand on this? @djsheilab
	5:05pm Kevin-san: goosebumps
	5:05pm Handy Haversack: @Miss G and ngh, we are keeping the place open in case you ever make it back!
	5:05pm Vanessa: hal david died, not burt bacharach
	5:06pm Luisa24: My mother's favorite song at the time! Loving it!
	5:06pm Kpx: @Big Cat. sounds intriguing, gunna go for it.
	5:06pm artbrau: 'scusa. you are right, Vanessa. Gaylord's tribute was amazing.
	5:07pm ola: Thank you for this comforting set Sheila! In an absence of friends and social life, you have become a friend I come back to, time and time again! 💗
	5:07pm Morgan: wow vanessa thats a great memory
	5:07pm D Rok: Sheila! I've spent most of the day listening to my haul from Band Camp Friday. Just tuning in for the last hour. What a great song to come in on!
	5:08pm agav: can you please play some more Alex Isley? I missed the first play...
	5:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What? No leggings and lip gloss?
	5:09pm Jocelyn: I was obsessed with Shampoo
	5:09pm EG_Astro: hello hello
	5:10pm jn34282: @djshrliab very sublime
	5:11pm D Rok: Ooh! Very looking forward to Joan next week!
	5:11pm artbrau: speaking of childhood associations, When "Wedding Bell Blues" (5th Dimension) was in heavy AM rotation, my mom would always say "hasn't Bill married that girl,yet!"
	5:12pm Vanessa: @artbrau LOL!
	5:13pm Morgan: that’s how they pull you back IN!!
	5:13pm Handy Haversack: Don't deactivate: delete. You can even contact her through Bandcamp!
	5:14pm djsheilab: Morgan—I know, the bastards! What a silly rule.
	5:14pm tim from champaign (now washington): For some reason I thought Joan As Police Woman was a harsh electronic noise artist. Boy was I off the mark.
	5:14pm tim from champaign (now washington): SOunds like it will be a great conversation, Sheila!
	5:14pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—I am on my way to total deletion. But I'm glad I've just deactivated so I didn't lose her contact info.
	5:15pm Russt44: I love this record.
	5:15pm djsheilab: D Rok—Yay!
	5:15pm D Rok: I am giddy listening to this track right now! This album was my first introduction to Joan As Police Woman. It's so good.
	5:16pm djsheilab: Russt44—My guest next week!
	5:17pm Jett: I look forward to your interview with Joan As Police Woman.
	5:18pm kpx: @djsb: A really good relaxing rainy day song is a cover version of "when you sleep" by Cherie Ko.
	5:18pm Listener John from NJ: Hello everybody!
	5:19pm Jocelyn: Hi John!
	5:19pm Miss G: Wow this Selda Bağcan is taking this set to 11! (BTW interesting to hear thoughts on social media. Friends were shocked that I didn't sign up, as I read Mondo 2000 in early 90s and met my man and two close friends in Germany Spring 1996 via an email listserv. But I guess I had seen the pitfalls. . .still, it's hard to think of how hopeful many of us were in 1992 for instance. . .)
	5:19pm Big Kat: @Jett @djsheilab The Stranglers' "Walk On By"
	5:19pm djsheilab: Hey Miss G + Listener John from NJ!
	5:21pm Jett: @BigKat It's a cool version.
	5:21pm Aquebogue: Sheila, your show is SUPREME!! Sounds amazing out here. The Dionne Warwick was priceless. So glad to hear you've ditched IG. Facebook always made me sick so I never signed up. Good move.
	5:22pm Buster: NGH is lying
	5:23pm djsheilab: Ooh! Thanks for the mighty compliment, Aquebogue!
	5:24pm Aquebogue: Your collection of women artists is pretty extraordinary. Thanks for that. (Love this Nadine Shah!)
	5:24pm tim from champaign (now washington): THis Nadine Shah is pretty great! Channeling later Siouxsie. Actually I wish later Siouxsie sounded like Nadine.
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: This Nadine Shaw is super! Seems like this album is not on Bandcamp? Special Sheila-only early release?
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: Going downstairs, will coninue listening but now together with my wife and without the comment board. Thanks for today, Sheila, until next week everyone.
	5:25pm djsheilab: I don't think she released it on Bandcamp.
	5:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: @kpx: If we can't find kindness on this comments page, something isn't working. Also, if your area has any kind of mutual aid organization, or food pantry, use it. I know it's hard sometimes to do things like that, but there are resources out there and we all deserve to get our needs met.
	5:27pm djsheilab: ola—Thank you for your lovely comment!
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: Good to see you as always, Rob Kopp!
	5:29pm Russt44: Stella Chiwese channeling Miriam Makeba
	5:31pm Stanley: Handy - Nadine Shah played Leith Theatre last year. A terrific performer.
	5:31pm Russt44: Beautiful set
	5:31pm Morgan: i love stelllas voice, never heard her before
	5:32pm P-90: Superb set @DJ Sheila B!
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Stanley!
	5:36pm Morgan: it warms my heart when fmu djs shout out to each other
	5:37pm djsheilab: Thanks Russt44 + P-90!
	5:38pm Joe McG: How nice that I could inspire you to play something, Sheila! Can I grab a bunch of stuff from this show for Monday? ;)
	5:39pm jn34282: @Morgan this is why we all live this weird wonderful station, the DJs are top notch
	5:40pm Joe McG: Perfect segue, to boot!
	5:40pm Stanley: It's Cocteau time
	5:40pm djsheilab: Joe McG—I can't tell you how much it meant to hear Cocteau Twins on your show Monday morning. It filled me with all the best feelings!
	5:40pm ncjay: this is their best album!
	5:41pm Carmichael: Thank you, Stanley. Please pass the Glenfiddich. No glass, though.
	5:41pm djsheilab: Joe McG—Take it all!
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: I'll have a Cocteau. Cheers, Stanley. And Sheila!
	5:41pm mcdnyc: Thanks Sheila - you just made my day with the sound of the Cocteau Twins!
	5:43pm djsheilab: mcdync—Yay!
	5:44pm Matt Fiveash: Oh hell yeah Della!
	5:44pm Joe McG: @Sheila: You've returned the favor many times today!
	5:44pm ncjay: breakfast kippers?
	5:44pm agav bond: ima have to check the archives...
	5:45pm mcdnyc: I'm guessing this Della song is dedicated to Alvy?
	5:45pm ZeeBee: The man around my house is Merle, my cat, he's my lil' wise man, and it is truly nice to have him around!
	5:45pm Shannon: I think this is one of your best shows ever!
	5:45pm ncjay: Alvy might like kippers for breakfast
	5:45pm Rtintera: Thx for the Cocteau twins
	5:46pm Russt44: Della is a woman who knows how to deliver a lyric
	5:46pm djsheilab: Thank you Shannon! I'm feeling very inspired :)
	5:46pm Stanley: I can't find the words to describe how wonderful this show is. Such a wonderful way to end the week. Many, many thanks Sheila Have a great weekend everyone.
	5:46pm Moira: This Della Reese album is nonstop back to back satire I am burnin wymyn hear me ROAR
	5:47pm Vanessa: my two cats are doing the watusi to this ... jk ;)
	5:47pm Lou: whoa this song kicks ass. What an amazing couple hours of music, thanks Sheila B!
	5:47pm Handy Haversack: Is the man around the house the occasional man for the show? And is it St. Swithin's day already, @ncjay? Wow, this show is one of the great ones, Sheila!
	5:48pm still b/p: Great Della number, but would sure fit in a special "dated outlooks" show. A wealth, a mountain of material out there.
	5:48pm eric from lake hiawatha: Intricate show, focus away from life.kudos.
	5:48pm agav bond: I agree with Shannon
	5:48pm kpx: Della Reese must have been very young when she recorded this because it doesn't sound like her. now I'm thinking of that scene in a movie she was in which I can't remember, when she got her pinky toe shot off bye quick.
	5:49pm Stashu: Groovin' <3
	5:49pm Handy Haversack: Sheila, what do you think the best Joan as Police Woman album would be to start with?
	5:50pm Christopher Clabbers: Sheila. Lovely set to come out of my Friday nap. Yes, all I do is nap. I enjoyed your sound byte on Techtonic this past Monday. I’m flushing Facebook this week. At least a 6 month stop. Thanks for inspiration!
	5:50pm djsheilab: Stashu! I miss you, lovely lady! We'd definitely be dancing in the studio to this one! Xoxoxo
	5:51pm coco: Sheila, after the husband song, mine came out of his work space at home to tell me " to take note" of this ...
	5:52pm y.n.a.c.: ...and "women be wise, don't advertise your man..." Hehe.
	5:52pm djsheilab: coco—Oh that is too good! Hahaha! Thanks for sharing.
	5:53pm Aquebogue: The separation on this French cut is sparkling! Our.
	5:53pm pgalub: Great show Sheila!
	5:53pm djsheilab: Christopher Clabbers—YES! Thrilled to hear this!
	5:53pm michael z: Fabulous France Gall. Thank you for a great show Sheila and I am really looking forward to next week's Joan As Policewoman special. Enjoy all that extra time you now have...

	5:56pm Rick A.: This version sounds more appropriate given the lyrics.
	5:56pm P-90: Always hoping to hear a little more JPop and Enka on this show, わーい!
	5:56pm Tennessee Jeb: A+
	5:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Stashu! Yay! xoxo
	5:57pm listener james from westwood: The Britney is strong with this. This is not a flaw.
	5:57pm Jett: The time flew by. Thanks for more cool fun via the genius of @djsheilab. You're so wonderful. Stay blessed! I need more Sheila B in my life! Catch you soon again. ❤️

	6:25pm still b/p: Order some clown for delivery and sooooo many suppers climb out of the little car!
	6:28pm still b/p: Order some clown for delivery and so many suppers climb out of the little car!
	6:57am Oli: US indie band "Grenadine" had made a nice lo-fi cover of "This Girl’s In Love With You" back in 1994. The original by Dionne Warwick is of course perfect.

	3:30pm ami ad: Heidee. Hi. Got plans for the weekend?
	3:30pm jn34282: @Shelia you and the rest of this station do a very good job of it
	3:31pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Barry Gibb always makes me think of a line from one of the more eccentric regulars at the record store I worked at, the day he came in raving about the show he'd just been to: "Barry Gibb! Better than the New York Dolls. Better than the Ramones. Better than the BEATLES!"
	3:34pm karlward: HELL YEAH. Welcome to real life again.
	3:34pm Big Kat: BECAUSE MS. B IS SO HUMBLE (and rightfully/righteously disco-necked'ed from social media), here are some Links for y'all to show your support for her bold move: LINKEDIN.com/posts/benjaminemerson_muzak-officeinterior-wfh-activity-6740307609972178944-w5zh TWITTERcom/realBenEmerson/status/1334541983579254789 FACEBOOK.com/benjammin.emerson/posts/10221936932425326
	3:34pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Joe McGasko! OK. That glass of wine and Sheila's tunes revived me. I'm making a sauce.
	3:34pm Jason from Houston: Dang. You deactivate LinkedIn, too?
	3:35pm Handy Haversack: Now I want to get on social media just so I can get off social media!
	3:35pm michael z: Well done Sheila. You are going to be so much less anxious and will have time to appreciate what a special person you are.
	3:36pm Big Kat: @βrian we already know you are not on these platFIRMs lol
	3:36pm Michael 98145: ( @HH, re:bc, mission accomplished )
	3:36pm cal: Is there a 12 Step group to get off social media?
	3:36pm Heidee: Sheila, your words are so honest and loving, thank you. ami ad, boringly, I'm back to paper grading. Listening to WFMU helps. What about yourself?
	3:36pm Travisano66: I have only ever used Facebook. I have never used it on my Phone. This keeps me from being its slave. I hope that you can find such a balance.
	3:36pm Stanley: This site is the only social media worth being on.
	3:36pm Kpx: I'm like 7UP, never had it, never will.
	3:36pm tim from champaign (now washington): Go Sheila!
	3:36pm Big Kat: @cal it's a one-step program. Think Wiley Coyote at cliff's edge lol
	3:37pm northguineahills: I never use social media, but I keep FB b/c one of my friends can't afford his phone bill, so he uses public wi-fi to stay in touch via FB.
	3:37pm Michael 98145: what Stanley just said
	3:37pm Niall: @cal: in my experience, there are two steps: 1. GTFO 2. Start hanging out in the WFMU chat room. You're at least halfway there. ;)
	3:37pm cal: Big Kat. Ha ha Ha .
	3:38pm Despeinada from Texas: Hiiiii Sheila and sophisticates. Happy to be listening.
	3:38pm The Oscar: I more or less got off Facebook a few years ago and haven't looked back. Unfortunately, as a writer, I probably have to keep the Twitter going for now (at least until I reach a point where I don't need it!)
	3:38pm Big Kat: @Travisano66 how nice (haha #snarchasm) You're ACTUALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW oops
	3:38pm mmeghan: wow i love this song
	3:38pm Phillippe Bastille: Interesting article here on how the Internet and social media are breaking the baby boomer brains: theweek.com...
	3:39pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:39pm Michael 98145: nice production
	3:39pm jn34282: I think with the accu, will be as close to social media as people will get
	3:39pm Big Kat: OKAY, let's skip the holier-than-POW "I don't have social remedia..." It's much the same as "I never watch television...:" lol
	3:41pm tim from champaign (now washington): The only social media I use is the FMU comments board and Goodreads. I use goodreads to keep track of books that I read because book titles leave my brain the second I finish a book.
	3:41pm Morgan: you’re an inspiration, sheila
	3:41pm winston legthigh: good friday afternoon vibes djsheilab, gang. good to cu ngh!
	3:41pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	3:41pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:41pm paddy in matawan: Kinda hard to quit social media when it is the only source of info on some of your hobbies/interests.
	3:42pm Cooh John: I see you, DjLorraine 🌈
	3:42pm Morgan: i got my 1st and only phone in 2017. now i have the attention span of a fruitfly
	3:42pm dreamyandseedy: can you believe aaliyah was 15 when she sang this? she did another amazing isley cover a few years later "choosey lover".
	3:42pm djsheilab: Thank you, Morgan! Hey winston legthigh, Big Kat, mmeghan, DJLorraine + paddy in matawan!
	3:42pm djsheilab: Despeinada from Texas! Hey lovely!
	3:42pm northguineahills: feliz viernes, winston!
	3:43pm DjLorraine: Hi Jett. And welcome to Joe McGasko
	3:43pm Big Kat: (NOT bitter) In my profession as a "Creative F#ckwad", knowledge of the INNARDS of this bullsh!t digital world, social media, cumspooters, et al. is requisite. It sucks. BUTT [sic] it gives me a nice HAL-go-rhtyhm to GET INSIDE and DESTROY from within. (COming Soon mwuahaha!!)
	3:43pm ami ad: @Heidee: Fun. No plans here.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Hey The Oscar, Niall, Stanley, Travisano66, karlward, ami ad, listener 126464, Vanessa + a polished polish lady!
	3:44pm Niall: Eeeyello, @djsheilab.
	3:44pm djsheilab: Luxuriating in your words, michael z.!
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Freya'sday & LadyB time ! ...Problem is the Monopoly does some things well & other things really badly. Like selling our data & not being transparent... I'm reminded of the Police protecting some whole murdering others - though that's probly not much of a comparison... Point is that it's complicated discussing it. Here's a great exposition of the Big Tech Monopolies - & even what should be done about it : psychedelicsalon.com... & I've see that the Electronic Freedom Foundation has their own podcast now too...
	3:45pm Vanessa: gorgeous singing!
	3:45pm Jett: That Aaliyah used to get played at my house back in the day. Haven't heard it in quite a while. Lovely song. Hello to my friend @DjLorraine
	3:45pm Vanessa: one of my cats, dinah, is reclining listening to this
	3:46pm Michael 98145: practice aloha, friends
	3:46pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:46pm a polished polish lady: Hi DJSB! Just realized we have the same initials <3
	3:46pm Dave: Sounds like maybe that was Daddy Ernie on guitar.
	3:46pm Monica: Doesn't get any gooier than Aaliyah:) Lovely soundtrack for assembling a sofa.
	3:47pm Mike tp: thang...
	3:47pm a polished polish lady: I deleted FB several months ago. I don’t even want to think about what it was like leading up to the election. And afterwards!
	3:48pm djsheilab: Monica—Gooey! Perfect. What a loss. She was so suited to softness.
	3:48pm Big Kat: Ms. B's props, hotlinked: LINKEDIN.com...  TWITTER.com... FACEBOOK.com...
	3:48pm DjLorraine: Cooh John! Thanks for introducing me to 🎁 WFMU
	3:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Isleys one of Hendrix's better early employers for those of us who think about that...
	3:49pm Heidee: ami ad, and thats how it should be. Enjoy. 🕺
	3:49pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hooray for Monica!
	3:49pm northguineahills: what the good Rev Rabbit said....
	3:50pm Despeinada from Texas: Every so often I disconnect from socials —my car was stolen Sunday and something clicked again and I deactivated. I’ll go back eventually but even temporary breaks are so helpful.
	3:50pm northguineahills: Arethra, pre-clickied!
	3:50pm Big Kat: @a polished polish lady@ Election2020 it wasn't as bad as we'd "hoped" it to be. Basically had to keep cleansing, rinsing, and disinfuckting one's feed.
	3:50pm Cooh John: This Aretha song is on my jukebox!
	3:51pm Matt Fiveash: I was soullessly dead eyed scrolling through instagram when you talked about quitting social media on the last mic break! Felt like being a junkie watching an anti-dope PSA on TV...
	3:51pm winston legthigh: just read ur bio djsheilab. opened for testament made me weak in the knees. bravo!
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: Onion break! Hey, winston!
	3:52pm djsheilab: Matt Fiveash—Haha! Brilliant! Well, you were one of the first in our lot to abandon FB.
	3:53pm Matt Fiveash: Yeah, at least there's that. I know instagram is owned by the same horrible ghouls but feels marginally less toxic than FB did.
	3:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good!!
	3:53pm djsheilab: Despeinada from Texas—Sorry to hear about your car :(
	3:54pm BH: for whatever reason, following celebrities on instagram feels better than following them on twitter. I still hate that Instagram uses an algorithm timeline instead of a sequential one
	3:54pm Big Kat: @MAtt Fiveash@ take one of these and call in [sic] in the morning. Trust me: youtu.be...
	3:55pm winston legthigh: handy! its almost time to mix up the medicine.
	3:55pm still b/p: @despeinada -- sorry for your loss to low damn thieves, for the material hit and more.
	3:56pm The Oscar: The funniest thing that I've realized I like about being off Facebook is the ability to think of people from my past and think "I wonder whatever became of them?" and not having the answer. I was in college when FB started, so I've never experienced adulthood without it.
	3:56pm Handy Haversack: Hotsie motsie, no kidding, winston. What a week.
	3:56pm mmeghan: love this vibe today sheila
	3:57pm djsheilab: Hey Mike tp, still b/p + RRNov63!
	3:57pm djsheilab: Thanks mmeghan :)
	3:57pm latenightseamstress: I've been off social media for a while and loving it too! best decision I ever made
	3:57pm Guido from Cologne: Thanks for the introduction to the Sounds of Asia collection. Just bought the whole collection.
	3:58pm northguineahills: Digging this Michelle for some reason....
	3:58pm Despeinada from Texas: Thanks, y’all. I had it 14 years and for at least three lifetimes. That’s the part that sucks. So many stories. I was pretty stunned but then this happened not three blocks from my house yesterday: https://m.sacurrent.com/ArtSlut/archives/2020/12/03/san-antonio-burlesque-performer-st-shimi-dies-at-49
	3:58pm djsheilab: Guido from Cologne—Woo hoo!
	3:58pm fionnland: Och that Michelle track was braw!
	3:59pm cal: Phillippe Bastille, I read that article about brain burnout on social media and baby boomers. Boy, that article really spoke to me. How much time I spend on Facebook is mind blowing. Many of my boomer friends are there. Hard to imagine leaving it. Sheila B is a bold and brave soul!
	3:59pm djsheilab: latenightseamstress—Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I have a feeling I'm going to feel the same.
	3:59pm djsheilab: "I get cold when I'm cornered." Love that lyric!
	4:00pm northguineahills: que chinga, Despeinada from Texas. Ouch. I have to figure out how to pay for my car before xmas, but at least it won't be technically stolen....buena suerte!
	4:00pm still b/p: Never signed on to FB or Instagram, was lightly-briefly on Twitter several ago. The concept of "following celebrities" seems soooooo alien.
	4:00pm ncjay: this Julia Church is an instant purchase for me! thanks Sheila!
	4:00pm listener james from westwood: Despeinada from Texas: Good heavens, how tragic and horrifying!
	4:01pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I wish Instagram wasn't owned by the amoral Zuck because I follow a lot of artists (painters mostly) on it and really enjoy that.
	4:01pm Handy Haversack: An article Mark Hurst gave me about one of his guests who took his nonprofit arts org off Facebook. I think businesses that use it should ask what it really brings them: news.artnet.com...
	4:02pm djsheilab: ncjay—Yay!
	4:02pm northguineahills: (I never lock my car [it's a standard transmission]), or when I had a domicile, I never locked the front doors out of principle, and I never had a problem. Now that I'm in FL, maybe I should reconsider such approach.
	4:02pm kpx: Jumping on the FMU chat from time to time is about as sociable as I get. in person I can go for days without exchanging a single word between others.
	4:02pm BH: for very obvious reasons, this has been a slow year for the genre of Instagram posts by celebrities vacationing in beautiful to photograph places FB stopped being fun for me when I graduated from college, over a decade ago
	4:03pm Cooh John: WFMU-- Where Friends and Music is the Ultimate
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I do find it makes symbolic sense Zuckerbird created faceborg in a dorm because his social interaction was actually insufficient - & now he controls the largest Communications, Media & Publishing platform that's ever existed by far. & in the pandemic while everything else collapses the Zuckerbirds & Bezzos have expanded their obscene wealth by $100s of Billions... They answer to no one.
	4:04pm Heidee: Gotta go, pity, will look into archives. Have a lovely day, all.
	4:04pm still b/p: @woods of NH -- what region of (now Maine)?
	4:04pm jn34282: @KPX i think the accu has a lot of knowledgeable oeople on here and There are tines when i just learn new stuff
	4:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @still b/p Close to Bar Harbor.
	4:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Yes. I keep hoping that the musicians who do live shows will move over to do Bandcamp live streaming. Pretty much the only thing I use fb for.
	4:06pm ami ad: Heidee: Take care. Hope for good grades.
	4:06pm Vanessa: yay, alvy!!!
	4:06pm jn34282: @kpx i meant times
	4:06pm Jett: That lucky cuddler! @djsheilab
	4:06pm Heidee: Cheers, ami ad, see you around.
	4:06pm BH: looking back on it, Facebook messaging people who were across the hallway was sorta inefficient but at the time it seemed fun?
	4:06pm Morgan: healthy beasts are a blessing
	4:06pm a polished polish lady: Yay Alvy! ᨐᵉᵒʷ
	4:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Sheila B! Hello, friends! I'm working, so I won't be very present on the comments page, but I want to wish everyone a beautiful, safe afternoon/evening/whatever time it is where you are.
	4:07pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Wendy! I am making a sauce here!
	4:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I had tickets for Rickie Lee Jones...so bummed.
	4:08pm Dave In Leicester: Habibi and Los Bitchos are on my post Covid must see live list
	4:08pm northguineahills: I remember back in the day (16 years ago), gchatting w/ roommates when our laptops were touching each other....
	4:08pm still b/p: Made many trips from Portland and hiked many of the trails and small mountains, but haven't been back up to Acadia area for a long while.
	4:09pm Phillippe Bastille: @cal I still have facebook, but only to be able to access the marketplace, as we don't tend to buy our stuff new. My Instagram got hacked a couple years ago and I never bothered to unhack it. Basically down to twitter, which I typically only look at a couple times a month. But then I look at my phone stats and I'm still 2+ hours a day on it...
	4:09pm Aric: What is better? Facebook, MySpace, or Friendster?
	4:09pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @still b/p Really fun to walk along the ocean drive in the middle of the winter.
	4:09pm Oli: This show is now my official Friday evening date (it's 10 pm here in Belgium) <3
	4:10pm kpx: @jn34282: Here! Here!. ain't that the tooth.
	4:10pm northguineahills: Aye, Aaliyah died in a plane crash in thre Bahamas in 2001.... (I feel old)
	4:11pm DjLorraine: Rev rabbit wrote: faceborg Haha
	4:11pm BH: instant messenger programs were a lot of fun, before various programs were killed off and everything got moved onto phones
	4:11pm still b/p: So Zuckerberg is like The Mule in Asimov's Foundation Trilogy -- impotent, so he goes for domination of the galaxy or universe.
	4:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): For some reason it was a little shocking when I saw that the Michelle record came out on Atlantic. My thought was "major labels still put out new music?". I guess that shows how in tune I am.
	4:12pm northguineahills: Frienster and MySpace were so insidious w/ sellling data (I remember frienster from 2003, still feeling old).
	4:12pm PaulRobeson1920: NYC’s own son, Neil Postman, has valuable insights into the social tech issues of our time... Try “Technopoly” or “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business” - Neil Postman is a reliable and reputable source.
	4:12pm Peter in SEA: @Sheila: We watched Mangrove on your rec' and omg SO FANTASTIQUE! Thank you! Lovers Rock was great too! New Steve McQueen "TV" on Evil Empire Network ;-)
	4:12pm Despeinada from Texas: I love Zadie Smith’s Billie Holiday essay sooooo much: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/06/crazy-they-call-me/amp
	4:12pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, just completed my Bandcamp haul and boy are my fingers tired!!
	4:12pm northguineahills: they were less insidious w/ selling data....
	4:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh! We're talking about ditching social media! YES. I love this topic. I got rid of FB over two years ago and I've never regretted it. The more one learns about FB and its ilk (and there are many, many excellent books and articles about this, in addition to Mark Hurst's work), the further one typically wants to get from it.
	4:13pm Despeinada from Texas: The audio is equally outstanding. Read it and then listen to Smith reading.
	4:14pm northguineahills: Ethel Waters new to me (how is that possible?)
	4:14pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Anybody have opinions on VERO? I've seen some people move there. Two issues here really, the evilness of fb/insta vs. just wasting time on social media in general
	4:15pm Feldpausch: A song made me shed a tear
	4:15pm cal: @Phillippe Cant imagine giving up facebook, tik tok. Can learn to moderate. Lots of productive things to do !
	4:16pm PaulRobeson1920: A million ways to spend your time
	4:16pm Aric: There was make out club before Friendster! BBS was essentially social media before all that. Meeting age appropriate people on the bbs and then out in real life was the thing to do in high school.
	4:16pm djsheilab: Wendy del Formaggio—That's exactly why I decided to be done with it all. These are not forces for good.
	4:16pm northguineahills: Karen O, used to have a huge crush on her (some of you have heard my story of when I ran into her at a party in the wild, tdr, I panicked.)
	4:17pm Jett: @northguineahills Haven't you ever seen the film, "Cabin In The Sky" ? Great one!
	4:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: Exactly! Rock on, Sheila B! I think I probably missed your commentary in a mic break before I tuned in, but I'll check out the archives. I always love your mic breaks. You say excellent, relevant things with clarity and force.
	4:18pm ZeeBee: Back from a lovely walk. I am loving the show Sheila! I left facebook and instagram a couple months ago and it is still sinking in how negative those platforms were for my mental health, happy to go on walks and listen to wfmu after work instead of scrolling. Much more deliberate time in my life now. Your show always inspires such positivity for me! Thank you.
	4:18pm Chris M: Oh that song about the lynched man - so sad Sheila B...
	4:18pm northguineahills: Thanks, Jett, will look for it...
	4:19pm djsheilab: Hey Aric, PaulRobeson1920, Feldpausch, WoodsofNH, Dave In Leicester + Oli!
	4:19pm djsheilab: Chris M.—Devastating.
	4:19pm northguineahills: desert blues, auto clicky....
	4:19pm cal: @Wendy I find Sheila inspirational and a breathe of fresh air!
	4:20pm Phillippe Bastille: I never really got into facebook that much, so it's been easy to stay away. It wasn't long after I signed up that one of my nieces made a post that showed her wearing a pair of generic sweatpants along with the message "Loving my new sweatpants!! <3 <3". I realized it wasn't worth my time.
	4:20pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: A bit of a damp and dreary, overcast somewhat rainy day here, but this show sure brightens it up. Happy Friday, all!
	4:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: @cal: Right on! Me too.
	4:21pm northguineahills: @Phillipe: reminds me of a certain Donovan song....
	4:22pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⌯•̩̩̩́ ˑ̫ •̩̩̩̀⌯꒱
	4:22pm Chris M: @Geoffrey Right On!
	4:22pm djsheilab: Thank you ZeeBee! Sounds like your social media purge has resulted in all good things!
	4:22pm Jett: @northguineahills Ethel Waters, Lena Horne, and Rochester are great in the film. It's a Busby Berkeley/Vincent Minnelli production.
	4:22pm tim from champaign (now washington): Astrud Gilberto is like homeopathic blood pressure medicine.
	4:22pm kpx: You see their Facebook, people are breaking their addiction of you. So Ha!, In Your Face!, Facebook!
	4:23pm Aric: Hi djshielab
	4:24pm northguineahills: Astrud! (if I were to ever have kids, and it was a daughter, that would be her name). obrigato, Jett!
	4:24pm winston legthigh: hi wendy, long time no see!
	4:25pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and Boomers. I've been as busy as at least TWO beavers!
	4:25pm Handy Haversack: OK! Sauce is on the simmer (Wendy taught us exactly what that means!), and I can chillax a little more with you fine folx.
	4:25pm djsheilab: Hey Geoffrey in Ottawa + Carmichael!
	4:25pm cal: @Wendy, Like minded being. I will tune in Monday!
	4:25pm djsheilab: tim from champaign—Such a balm.
	4:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ooh. I'm loving this Reptaliens. Their name alone is cool. @Winston: Hi! @Handy: Hi!
	4:26pm Mike tp: suspicion vibe to reptilians tune.i like it.
	4:26pm winston legthigh: sauce tastes saucier with cheese!
	4:27pm Monica: yo, tim from champaign (now from washington)! hope all is well with you and yours.
	4:27pm cal: Reptalians are smooth and sweet!
	4:27pm Handy Haversack: Wise words, winston.
	4:28pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The weird thing (or maybe not) is that there are folks on fb...a few relatives, some high school and college classmates...whom I talk to only there. But I haven't even been doing that for months and months. And somehow, I can't bring myself to shut down the account.
	4:29pm northguineahills: the name Reptaliens reminds of the Outkast album, Atliens....
	4:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: @WoodsOfNH: Everyone gets to choose in this regard, but if I may, here's how I maintained contact with folks when I was planning to shut down my FB: I sent messages to everyone I wanted to stay in touch with. I invited them to email me, or become my pen-pal (actual letters and postcards!) if they'd like. I gained MANY pen-pals, including at least two WFMU DJs.
	4:30pm Chris M: @Sheila B Yes FB is NOT a force for good (the others I am not on) and I often tell people who usually agree it is a waste of time but I cant quit it!!!
	4:31pm Chris M: Social media on a downward spiral ever since Myspace got bought by Rupert Murdock!
	4:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Wendy del Formaggio: That's a good idea. Interestingly, me and my closest friend started writing letters back and forth during this mess.
	4:33pm djsheilab: Chris M—In your own time! I'd been wanting to quit for at least two years before I made the move.
	4:33pm michael z: This is my idea of a perfect set - slow, slinky and sad.
	4:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Monica! Thanks for asking. My 4 year old daughter and 16 month old son are regularly boogying down. Hope things are good on your end!
	4:35pm jn34282: @djsheliab mark hurst has inspired a lot of people to quit social media.
	4:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Woods: Writing letters also supports our USPS, which needs us to believe in it, use it, and advocate for funding it.
	4:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Having Mark Hurst on WFMU is a mitzvah.
	4:36pm Big Kat: Looking forward to getting HIRED inna FT job so I can burn my socialmedia empyre to the ground and kick its ashes into a gutter. Until then, .. —oh F#CK, WHY AM I A CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL??
	4:36pm tim from champaign (now washington): There's lots of connections in the set. Karen O to "Karen O". Reptaliens and Little Dragons. Maybe I wasn't supposed see the patterns.
	4:36pm Morgan: that was nice
	4:36pm jn34282: @Wendy damn right
	4:37pm kpx: Hey there Wendy Del: Thanks for what you said @4:06, I know you're a foodie, so I'm not going to even pretend to talk food. because I'm your atypical slobbery bachelor. just mainly because I border somewhere between having a low to no income.
	4:37pm Miss G: Aw, sniff remembering that feeling to come into Manhattan from wherever, and be "home." (Although not born there.) Thanks for the wishes Sheila B about exiles returning home.
	4:37pm Morgan: so many public gardens in manhattan are closing too
	4:37pm Big Kat: @kpx Top Rahmen for daze
	4:38pm Jett: @djsheilab You always manage to give me comfort. Thanks for that! The love that you put into these shows always comes across.
	4:38pm tim from champaign (now washington): Speaking of Manhattan, I'm reading Luc Sante's "Low Life" right now. It's informative, good writing and hilarious too.
	4:38pm Big Kat: @djsheilab for VP in 2024 (Harris as POTUS)
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, tim, that's a stone classic.
	4:39pm Morgan: the ethel waters was heartbreaking
	4:39pm northguineahills: @Miss G: me too, Brooklyn will always be my home...
	4:40pm dreamyandseedy: so glad i skipped pointless work meeting to listen to your show today!
	4:40pm northguineahills: ok, sheilab doped up this single of the week....!
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: Wendy @4:35 [2nd post]: Seriously!
	4:40pm Big Kat: Shygirl's "Slime" photo in the PL is gonna make me hurl.
	4:41pm tim from champaign (now washington): That's some Dave Lynch style cover art right there.
	4:41pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday Everyone!
	4:42pm Jason from Houston: Let us know if you find the clean version of that CupcakKe song!
	4:42pm northguineahills: feliz viernes, Jocelyn!
	4:42pm djsheilab: Jason from Houston—Haha! I wish! Every other word in that song is a no-no for daytime radio!
	4:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: @kpx: I don't consider myself a foodie. I'm just a nerd who loves to eat. :-) Also, solidarity to you, my friend. My income is also precipitously low, and COVID ain't helped that none. I do the best I can with my state/town's resources. Our social safety nets in VT are stronger, and I sure need 'em. I wish you the best, and all the good food you want, need, and deserve.
	4:43pm djsheilab: Hey Jocelyn!
	4:43pm Rob Kopp: Mooi means beautiful in Dutch, and that's what she is
	4:43pm Heidella: So happy to be here! That Karen O song was perfection.
	4:43pm djsheilab: Thanks for the translation Rob! She is very beautiful.
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: It's a very mooi show, Sheila! Kate, Bagpipe, 1-3 cats at a time, and I are digging it hard.
	4:45pm djsheilab: Hey Heidella! Glad you dug that Karen O beauty!
	4:45pm kpx: @Big Cat: I just happened to bought a six-pack of Nissin Cup-o- Noodles.
	4:45pm Jason from Houston: Hahaha... It's like, not worth playing!
	4:50pm Stillwell Coney Islander: I ❤️ NY * My hometown
	4:52pm northguineahills: Today in 1875, Boss Tweed escaped from jail. It didn't go well for him: history.house.gov... (I'm side-eyeing a certain executive of a certain nation right now....)
	4:55pm Big Kat: @kpx if you're feelin' fancy, get a can of water chestnuts and throw 'em in. (true)
	4:56pm jn34282: @NGH does his last name starts with a T:)
	4:56pm northguineahills: Nissin is my comfort food, a fave of mine since the 3rd grade....
	4:57pm Big Kat: Off-topic: Does anyone else believe people first inhabited the moon until we sucked it dry, then managed to fly to earth? (Ergo, we are the aliens the Aztecs portended.)
	4:57pm Big Kat: Just checking.
	4:58pm Threemoons: ABBA!
	4:58pm Aric: @bigkat I want to believe!
	4:58pm listener james from westwood: Aw, that Strawberry Story track was sweet. I want to go to there.
	4:59pm kpx: @Wendy Del: Aw Thanks, that's the nicest thing anyone has said to me since I don't know when. the only thing I can say is I just hope things don't get worse. because if they do a lot of us we'll just have to give up eating. thank goodness air is still free. but it won't be long before they figure out how to charge us for that.
	4:59pm Carmichael: Local PBS station was showing the big ABBA documentary last night.
	5:02pm Vanessa: love this song in any version
	5:02pm michael z: Dionne at her best.
	5:02pm jn34282: Ohh wish I could triple love this dionne song
	5:03pm tim from champaign (now washington): Oh man. Dionne Warwick Burt Bacharach songs are instant blood pressure reducers too.
	5:03pm artbrau: ooh. Dionne and Burt were the top team in pop, IMHO . So much ear candy.
	5:03pm djsheilab: Vanessa, michael z., jn34282 + tim from champaign—Sublime!
	5:03pm djsheilab: artbrau—So much!
	5:04pm tim from champaign (now washington): SHeila - can you play it again back-to back? :)
	5:04pm still b/p: I'm all for a Dionne version, but it could do without flute and horn and strings of little taste.
	5:04pm Joe McG: Dionne hitting the spot, Sheila!
	5:04pm Vanessa: very deep early childhood associations with hearing dionne's comforting, confiding voice, even before i knew any words
	5:04pm artbrau: After Burt's passing, Gayolrd did an amazing retrospective.
	5:04pm Jett: I was listening to Helen Shapiro's version of "Walk On By," and I think it's as great as Dionne's version. You reminded me, by playing Dionne. Where do you stand on this? @djsheilab
	5:05pm Kevin-san: goosebumps
	5:05pm Handy Haversack: @Miss G and ngh, we are keeping the place open in case you ever make it back!
	5:05pm Vanessa: hal david died, not burt bacharach
	5:06pm Luisa24: My mother's favorite song at the time! Loving it!
	5:06pm Kpx: @Big Cat. sounds intriguing, gunna go for it.
	5:06pm artbrau: 'scusa. you are right, Vanessa. Gaylord's tribute was amazing.
	5:07pm ola: Thank you for this comforting set Sheila! In an absence of friends and social life, you have become a friend I come back to, time and time again! 💗
	5:07pm Morgan: wow vanessa thats a great memory
	5:07pm D Rok: Sheila! I've spent most of the day listening to my haul from Band Camp Friday. Just tuning in for the last hour. What a great song to come in on!
	5:08pm agav: can you please play some more Alex Isley? I missed the first play...
	5:08pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What? No leggings and lip gloss?
	5:09pm Jocelyn: I was obsessed with Shampoo
	5:09pm EG_Astro: hello hello
	5:10pm jn34282: @djshrliab very sublime
	5:11pm D Rok: Ooh! Very looking forward to Joan next week!
	5:11pm artbrau: speaking of childhood associations, When "Wedding Bell Blues" (5th Dimension) was in heavy AM rotation, my mom would always say "hasn't Bill married that girl,yet!"
	5:12pm Vanessa: @artbrau LOL!
	5:13pm Morgan: that’s how they pull you back IN!!
	5:13pm Handy Haversack: Don't deactivate: delete. You can even contact her through Bandcamp!
	5:14pm djsheilab: Morgan—I know, the bastards! What a silly rule.
	5:14pm tim from champaign (now washington): For some reason I thought Joan As Police Woman was a harsh electronic noise artist. Boy was I off the mark.
	5:14pm tim from champaign (now washington): SOunds like it will be a great conversation, Sheila!
	5:14pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—I am on my way to total deletion. But I'm glad I've just deactivated so I didn't lose her contact info.
	5:15pm Russt44: I love this record.
	5:15pm djsheilab: D Rok—Yay!
	5:15pm D Rok: I am giddy listening to this track right now! This album was my first introduction to Joan As Police Woman. It's so good.
	5:16pm djsheilab: Russt44—My guest next week!
	5:17pm Jett: I look forward to your interview with Joan As Police Woman.
	5:18pm kpx: @djsb: A really good relaxing rainy day song is a cover version of "when you sleep" by Cherie Ko.
	5:18pm Listener John from NJ: Hello everybody!
	5:19pm Jocelyn: Hi John!
	5:19pm Miss G: Wow this Selda Bağcan is taking this set to 11! (BTW interesting to hear thoughts on social media. Friends were shocked that I didn't sign up, as I read Mondo 2000 in early 90s and met my man and two close friends in Germany Spring 1996 via an email listserv. But I guess I had seen the pitfalls. . .still, it's hard to think of how hopeful many of us were in 1992 for instance. . .)
	5:19pm Big Kat: @Jett @djsheilab The Stranglers' "Walk On By"
	5:19pm djsheilab: Hey Miss G + Listener John from NJ!
	5:21pm Jett: @BigKat It's a cool version.
	5:21pm Aquebogue: Sheila, your show is SUPREME!! Sounds amazing out here. The Dionne Warwick was priceless. So glad to hear you've ditched IG. Facebook always made me sick so I never signed up. Good move.
	5:22pm Buster: NGH is lying
	5:23pm djsheilab: Ooh! Thanks for the mighty compliment, Aquebogue!
	5:24pm Aquebogue: Your collection of women artists is pretty extraordinary. Thanks for that. (Love this Nadine Shah!)
	5:24pm tim from champaign (now washington): THis Nadine Shah is pretty great! Channeling later Siouxsie. Actually I wish later Siouxsie sounded like Nadine.
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: This Nadine Shaw is super! Seems like this album is not on Bandcamp? Special Sheila-only early release?
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: Going downstairs, will coninue listening but now together with my wife and without the comment board. Thanks for today, Sheila, until next week everyone.
	5:25pm djsheilab: I don't think she released it on Bandcamp.
	5:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: @kpx: If we can't find kindness on this comments page, something isn't working. Also, if your area has any kind of mutual aid organization, or food pantry, use it. I know it's hard sometimes to do things like that, but there are resources out there and we all deserve to get our needs met.
	5:27pm djsheilab: ola—Thank you for your lovely comment!
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: Good to see you as always, Rob Kopp!
	5:29pm Russt44: Stella Chiwese channeling Miriam Makeba
	5:31pm Stanley: Handy - Nadine Shah played Leith Theatre last year. A terrific performer.
	5:31pm Russt44: Beautiful set
	5:31pm Morgan: i love stelllas voice, never heard her before
	5:32pm P-90: Superb set @DJ Sheila B!
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Stanley!
	5:36pm Morgan: it warms my heart when fmu djs shout out to each other
	5:37pm djsheilab: Thanks Russt44 + P-90!
	5:38pm Joe McG: How nice that I could inspire you to play something, Sheila! Can I grab a bunch of stuff from this show for Monday? ;)
	5:39pm jn34282: @Morgan this is why we all live this weird wonderful station, the DJs are top notch
	5:40pm Joe McG: Perfect segue, to boot!
	5:40pm Stanley: It's Cocteau time
	5:40pm djsheilab: Joe McG—I can't tell you how much it meant to hear Cocteau Twins on your show Monday morning. It filled me with all the best feelings!
	5:40pm ncjay: this is their best album!
	5:41pm Carmichael: Thank you, Stanley. Please pass the Glenfiddich. No glass, though.
	5:41pm djsheilab: Joe McG—Take it all!
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: I'll have a Cocteau. Cheers, Stanley. And Sheila!
	5:41pm mcdnyc: Thanks Sheila - you just made my day with the sound of the Cocteau Twins!
	5:43pm djsheilab: mcdync—Yay!
	5:44pm Matt Fiveash: Oh hell yeah Della!
	5:44pm Joe McG: @Sheila: You've returned the favor many times today!
	5:44pm ncjay: breakfast kippers?
	5:44pm agav bond: ima have to check the archives...
	5:45pm mcdnyc: I'm guessing this Della song is dedicated to Alvy?
	5:45pm ZeeBee: The man around my house is Merle, my cat, he's my lil' wise man, and it is truly nice to have him around!
	5:45pm Shannon: I think this is one of your best shows ever!
	5:45pm ncjay: Alvy might like kippers for breakfast
	5:45pm Rtintera: Thx for the Cocteau twins
	5:46pm Russt44: Della is a woman who knows how to deliver a lyric
	5:46pm djsheilab: Thank you Shannon! I'm feeling very inspired :)
	5:46pm Stanley: I can't find the words to describe how wonderful this show is. Such a wonderful way to end the week. Many, many thanks Sheila Have a great weekend everyone.
	5:46pm Moira: This Della Reese album is nonstop back to back satire I am burnin wymyn hear me ROAR
