	♥ 3:35pm Krys O.: Here are all of Monica's Special Archives: wfmu.org...
	3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah love how gifs can show the visual artistry in like even 2 & 1/2 seconds.
	♥ 3:35pm Listener Howard & the Cats: Monica, I hope so! I think I told you, also ages ago, that after your interview Kenny G told his listeners all the inappropriate details about your interview that you were too classy to divulge, like Ferry greeting you in his hotel room wearing nothing beneath his open bathrobe?
	3:35pm lazy pierogi: welcome back!
	♥ 3:36pm Krys O.: Lana was even brilliant in Love Finds Andy Hardy with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.

	♥ 3:40pm Handy Haversack: New alias, same line of crap, eh, Bunny Rake?
	♥ 3:40pm Monica: Bucksomcounty - many thx. and yes, many thx to KEN!
	♥ 3:40pm karlward: Handy: I always figured "Even Trolls Love Rock N Roll" was a B side, but here it is, on the A side, plain as day: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:41pm MarciB: @Bunny Rake I don't know about that - I've had colds that were way worse than this. But Monica is hitting it out of the park today and it's only 40 mins in! I'm feeling really uplifted - the healing power of great curated music :)
	♥ 3:42pm Handy Haversack: Amazing the information out there, karlward!
	♥ 3:43pm joe mulligan: Oh @Handy hahaha I didnae even notice the Bunny Rake we were having so much fun. I guess it tis the season for raking the rabbit pellets out from the pool Bun-Bun I aint saying you wrong or right it's just it aint good party talk here
	♥ 3:43pm drr: Why do people think this is a good forum to try to save people from getting vaccinated? What's the upside for them?
	♥ 3:43pm Hubig Pie: The UPS man doesn't knock cuz he left a whole gallon of Franks XXXtra hot leaking on the front stoop
	♥ 3:43pm karlward: I have this link to a Wikipedia article that says Tom Dowd produced "Even Trolls Love Rock and Roll," which blew my mind open just now: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 3:44pm Krys O.: i DId MY owN rEseArcH!
	♥ 3:44pm joe mulligan: @drr WHY has been the oprerative word since the before times lol Krys O!!
	♥ 3:44pm drr: How do you even use a gallon of hot sauce? Just hover it over your tacos very carefully?
	♥ 3:44pm Listener Howard & the Cats: "Independent data from the UK"? Let me guess, David Icke?
	♥ 3:44pm Monica: hi drr...
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...til there's a vax for Trolls that won't Sign In & Own It - I guess all we have is Herd Immunity to them the hard way. Sigh. On the plus side - they are getting to be a distinctly less Novel virus all the time... Covid-19, otoh - still too new to the Human Immune System. Alas.
	♥ 3:45pm drr: sounds like a workout at the very least, Hubig Pie.
	♥ 3:45pm drr: Hi Monica! Pleased to be here.
	♥ 3:45pm Crosby in KC: I am so digging this track. Gettin' funky in my chair, over here.
	♥ 3:46pm karlward: Listener Howard & the Cats: I just learned that Tom Dowd, producer of "Even Trolls Love Rock and Roll," lived in Westwood (which is walking distance from where I live)! en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 3:46pm Hubig Pie: drr, it's applied "to taste". I salvaged 3/4 of it
	♥ 3:46pm Michael 98145: Monica! We were talking behind your back about your appearance on Questlove podcasts ..
	♥ 3:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Good afternoon WFMU Land! Warm Greetings from Huntington NY
	♥ 3:47pm joe mulligan: @KrysO there's a very fun t-shirt to be made with "i DId MY owN rEseArcH!" I'm sure someone here could make a good illustration to match. if only t-shirts had gifs.. oh never mind
	♥ 3:48pm drr: great drum sound on this Billy Hawks.
	♥ 3:49pm drr: Hubig: I'm just wondering how you lift it.
	♥ 3:49pm Monica: Yo, PaulRobeson1920 and Michael 98145!
	♥ 3:50pm MarciB: @Joe mulligan-I should check that out! I have a sis in the UK who is sadly part of that crowd- despite having great taste in music. Anyway, enjoying the music and support here as always!
	♥ 3:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: "i DId MY owN rEseArcH and all I got was this stupid T-shirt."
	♥ 3:51pm Crosby in KC: @Ken From Hyde Park that's perfect!
	♥ 3:53pm Polyus: Geez there's another Roxy reunion happening? I saw the 2001 tour and it was surprisingly good but another 20-plus years on? Hmmm.
	♥ 3:54pm Monica: I here for it, Polyus:)
	♥ 4:01pm Hubig Pie: drr, use your knees, not your back. Seen that movie many times, a favorite noir
	♥ 4:03pm TDK60: Hola DJ Monica.
	♥ 4:05pm Monica: Hola, TDK60! All framed pieces leaning up against the wall now, Bunny. Hope to have time to unpack soon.
	♥ 4:05pm -жеи: Hi there Bunny - How goes your hunt for the blood drinking satanic pedophile ring? You are doing God's work.
	♥ 4:06pm chris in the redwoods: and that is why wfmu has my undying support.
	4:10pm ncjay: hey Monica! late to the party, but i'm so happy to be here now!
	♥ 4:11pm tim from washington: Who did this song originally. Lou Rawls cones to mind but I know that's not right.
	♥ 4:11pm Carmichael: Heya Monica and vessels. Also late to the music and the troll(s).
	♥ 4:12pm tim from washington: Nevermind, Monica just reveled it.
	♥ 4:13pm Monica: -жеи - back to the crates! hi ncjay and carmichael!
	♥ 4:13pm DjLorraine: The Roberta Flack song was trying to peak out and Monica made it so
	♥ 4:13pm PaulRobeson1920: The Mets are winning big now & it’s a gorgeous spring day!! Sun feels good
	♥ 4:14pm joe mulligan: @Bunny Rake I LOVED you in The Florida Project. Hope you weren't part of a child actor sex trafficking ring tho
	♥ 4:17pm Michael 98145: 44F and UV index is -low- in this zipcode
	♥ 4:18pm Hubig Pie: The Twin(kies) got stomped and there's several inches of snow onna ground. It's spring in the Mid-west.
	4:22pm puppy farts: Mona this set is EVERYTHING!!! And with the warm weather, driving around running errands :) thanks!!!!
	♥ 4:22pm chris in the redwoods: wow, this Ada. nice cover!
	4:22pm puppy farts: Monica! Sorry idk why my phone autocorrected that
	♥ 4:24pm Crosby in KC: This is a very interesting take on a song that maddeningly gets stuck in my head from time to time. I'll remember this version next time. Thanks, Monica!
	♥ 4:24pm joe mulligan: @Bunny, just a thing! I can't really speak to it with empathy thank Jeebs.
	♥ 4:24pm Monica: yo, puppy farts!!! auto correct does it every time:)
	♥ 4:24pm Hubig Pie: Lovely re-imagine of a song I thought I'd never need to hear again
	♥ 4:25pm chris in the redwoods: "original" covers are my kryptonite.
	♥ 4:26pm Polyus: Yeah the weather really is miserable here in the Upper Midwest. grumblegrumblegrumble
	♥ 4:27pm Handy Haversack: Well, your one weakness makes you human and relatable, Chris.
	♥ 4:29pm tim from washington: @Polyus - where abouts are you?
	4:30pm jimmytallow: That was an amazing set
	♥ 4:33pm Monica: many thanks, jimmytallow:)
	♥ 4:34pm Polyus: @ tim - I am in Minneapolis.
	♥ 4:35pm tim from washington: Anybody seen the Rick James doc called 'Bitchin'"? I watched it last night. I thought it was great. Excellent interviews with the Stone City Band members. Unlike many recent docs, it didn't feel like a 90 minute promo.
	♥ 4:36pm drr: Weird how the most mainstream artists played on this show made it truly freeform.
	♥ 4:36pm tim from washington: @Polyus - excellent! I'm a rust belter midwesterner by origin.
	♥ 4:36pm drr: Seemed so unexpected.
	♥ 4:37pm DjLorraine: Tim from W i have seen it and knew someone who worked for him.
	♥ 4:37pm tim from washington: @drr - A good song's a good song.
	♥ 4:38pm G: The too rare and excellent Monica sighting/hearing. Smooth and sophisticated. I'm workbusy so not commenting much, but listening from the outset...
	♥ 4:38pm tim from washington: @DjLoiraine - wow! What's you think?
	♥ 4:38pm Michael 98145: Frozen northland www.duluthharborcam.com...
	♥ 4:39pm Stevel: Gee whiz, this Angel Olsen track is grooving in a mellow way.
	♥ 4:39pm Phillippe: (swoon)
	♥ 4:40pm Handy Haversack: Heh, Phillippe. Your devotion was rewarded!
	♥ 4:40pm Monica: G - Thx so much for pullin' up:) Stevel - record of the year - callin' it now!
	♥ 4:40pm Jeff Moore: Hey, Monica, great as always to hear you! We also enjoyed your double appearance on Questlove Supreme, filling in all those details from NYC of a previous era. And thanks to robot remote DJ Ken! We were all really looking forward to a Monica show this afternoon, thanks for figuring out how to make it happen.
	♥ 4:41pm tim from washington: I liked that Angel Olson a lot! It reminded me of TCB band Elvis.
	♥ 4:42pm Mark Hurst: Great show today, Monica - thanks
	♥ 4:44pm Handy Haversack: Jeff Moore, just to put a period on the story: in a paroxysm of fear that I'd have to pay for that crate of Mobile Fidelity discs, I queried the Discogs vendor that had sent them. Long story short, they sent me a shipping label, I put the box back in the hall, and either USPS or a very strong thief has made off with it. I got to keep the Pretenders album for my trouble, and it's really the only one I was really interested in from the lot. I am glad to have the shelf space back and that some clerk at GoVinylGo isn't going to get in trouble over the whole thing.
	♥ 4:45pm tim from washington: Crazy story, Handy! What Pretenders record did you keep?
	♥ 4:46pm Monica: Thank YOU, Jeff Moore! Much appreciated, great to be "here." And thank you for checking the Questlove podcasts:) Many thx to YOU, Mark Hurst!!!
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: I might have paid you for the MFSL 45 RPM Mastered Blonde On Blonde ...but hell I got the goldisc...
	♥ 4:47pm drr: @tim: no question
	♥ 4:47pm Jeff Moore: @Handy H: Sounds like a resolution working out well for all! Now, does the Pretenders disc sound good?
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: ...& yer StandUp once again...
	♥ 4:48pm drr: And now I've heard Ralfi Pagan doing a Lovin Spoonful tune. It's like two great tastes that taste great together.
	♥ 4:49pm Michael 98145: yes
	♥ 4:49pm Handy Haversack: The 1979 eponymous one, tim. I know, Rev Rab, but I was kind of like ... do I need to give BD this much shelf space? I'd rather the decision be taken from me! Remains to be heard, Jeff Moore! I haven't turned off WFMU long enough to find out yet! The horns of the dilemma.
	♥ 4:49pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi, Monica and all!!
	♥ 4:49pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for the great show, Monica! Always happy to catch when you're filling in. Thanks for masterfully practicing your Dark Arts, Ken!
	♥ 4:51pm drr: which reminds me: one night when I lived in Bushwick (10 yrs ago) I heard a record of somebody singing Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" in Spanish, from an open window. So great. I'd love to know what that record was, it's one of the great unknowns of music for me.
	♥ 4:51pm Will the Sound Guy: I've heard most of the show so far, I'm enjoying the tunes!
	♥ 4:51pm Monica: Greetings and thx, Will the Sound Guy!
	♥ 4:52pm tim from washington: I love that record, Handy. One of my top 20 of all time.
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SamCooke En Espanol !
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh, not Sam singing. Well anyway.
	♥ 4:55pm Michael 98145: Loverly selections ... as always
	♥ 4:55pm Stevel: Al Green: Sub-fucking-lime.
	4:55pm Yes: Perfect
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The one & only.
	♥ 4:56pm Monica: Stevel - best version evah.
	4:57pm Nate in Detroit: I was just reaching for the clicky-star button for this song, and realized i already clicked it from one of your sets back in 2013! Long time Monica fan over here! When are you going to do a regular show again??
	♥ 4:57pm Handy Haversack: It's been said before and will be said again, but: This set is amazing.
	♥ 4:58pm Monica: Nate in Detroit - YO! many thx, handy:)
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah he omits the melodrama & excess Production - which leaves AlGreen Singing This.
	4:59pm Nate in Detroit: @handy @monica i have a feeling this set is going to hang out in it's own special tab in my browser for a while
	4:59pm morphe': Not acsciamated ...(sp???) Thanks Monica !!!
	♥ 4:59pm drr: RevRab: I don't think it was Sam, good guess. This seemed more like Ralfi Pagan or Joe Bataan or just something entirely new to me.
	♥ 5:01pm drr: Thanks Monica for a terrific set.
	♥ 5:01pm Phin The Hyooman: I'm dropping likey-stars all over that Al Green rendition. Great set, Monica!
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @drr: Thot you meant it was Sam. Which I'm free to imagine anyhow...
	♥ 5:03pm Monica: morphe' + Phin The Hyooman - right on with the right on!
	♥ 5:03pm YETI BOB: greetings from Chicago, where it's currently grey and rainy
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: Archie singing ??
	♥ 5:05pm TDK60: I do like the Righteous Bros. version of 'Unchained' /because/ of the glossy overproduction. But don't lose sleep over my opinion. Or, get a nap in.
	♥ 5:06pm Monica: Thx, YETI BON - my home town:)
	♥ 5:06pm DjLorraine: Tim from Washington interesting and exciting. I didn't know he played with so many greats. Too bad he wasnt around folks that couldve steered him to a healthier lifestyle.
	♥ 5:09pm Bucksomcounty: I fell in love under the spell of Mr. C's Bossa Nova Carnival on FMU that Summer.
	5:09pm charlespowne: Hi Monica, I'll second what Nate In Detroit asked: When are you going to get a regular show again? I love your musical choices -- you've introduced me to so many excellent songs and artists. Last time was that "Gold Dust" song, which I'm still listening to on repeat. Thank you for doing the fill ins. Moar please!
	5:10pm lazy pierogi: thirding that notion of a regular show - your show was my gateway show to WFMU many years ago <3
	♥ 5:13pm Monica: Bucksomcounty - will pass that along to him! charlespowne + lazy pierogi - no plans to return on the regular but will definitely be poppin' back in for fill-ins.
	♥ 5:14pm dale: hey mo. ha my ears on doing some spring cleaning. good spring cleaning music for sure. good to hear your dulcet voice.
	♥ 5:15pm Monica: aiyo, dale!
	♥ 5:16pm YETI BOB: Glad I'm catching at least part of the show today, Monica. I always enjoy your picks.
	♥ 5:18pm Michael 98145: Merrilee .. local heroine
	♥ 5:18pm Matt Fiveash: Magnifico Mo! Xo
	♥ 5:18pm chris in the redwoods: oh my goodness, this song. had such an impact on young teenage me.
	5:19pm ron-ji: What an amazing set! Love the mix of stuff I know and love & that which is utterly new to me. I keep trying to switch to NPR, but there’s no way the news could possibly be as beautiful and inspiring as this.
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& were Matt5 who noted Chip Taylor wrote Angel same day after WildThing. As one would, in that order. Like that version much.
	♥ 5:20pm dale: i never heard of the 'and the turnabouts' bit.
	♥ 5:20pm Michael 98145: This is such a great melody
	♥ 5:21pm Listener Howard & the Cats: I completely agree with CharlesPowne! (Hi Charles, I hope the Cats are well!)
	♥ 5:21pm Monica: Matt Fiveash - now it's official!! ron-ji - thank you!
	♥ 5:21pm DjLorraine: Handy Pretenders 1979!! So good
	♥ 5:22pm Handy Haversack: I have loved "Angle of the Morning" since I was a little kid. Are there any bad versions? Hey, DjLorraine!
	♥ 5:23pm Handy Haversack: "Angel of the Morning," too. I love all things that belong to the morning. Except the alarm clock.
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn but this Station.
	♥ 5:23pm Michael 98145: { Although credited to "Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts", both the single and subsequent album (also called Angel of the Morning) were recorded using the same musicians who played on Elvis Presley's famous Memphis recordings. }
	♥ 5:24pm Handy Haversack: My response was delayed as I was mixing a drink. So: cheers, Monica and and Moniceers! If they could see us now!
	♥ 5:24pm HyperDose: Joe McGasko type beat 😍
	♥ 5:25pm Michael 98145: Sweet Charity ?
	♥ 5:25pm Bucksomcounty: Ohhh thank you for playing "Carnival Morning!!!" I think your old show may have introduced me to that song
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Station. With a Fill-In. In a lockdown.
	♥ 5:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nutley Brass, hit it!
	♥ 5:27pm dale: monica is the only good deejay on the station - no one else plays belle barth or rusty warren.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - I term Gaylord the Master Weaver. But - he's not the only one...
	5:32pm Imgur: What a version!!!
	♥ 5:33pm Monica: no shortage of WFMU DJs on the mothership and the alternate streams weaving their wondrous spells week in and week out - and a hot bench of fill-ins. Shout out to Give the Drummer Radio, Rock'N'Soul Radio, and Sheena's Jungle Room!
	♥ 5:34pm Monica: agree, imgur!
	♥ 5:34pm Handy Haversack: Woop woop! (That was me shouting out.)
	♥ 5:35pm Sem: Lovin' the spins, Ms. M. Just the things for this time of day. Thanks.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always say the DrummerStream is like a backroom with fewer people & more lived-in but puffier furniture... Somehow have made few inroads into Sheena's yet...
	♥ 5:39pm Mr. Pumpy: HA! The Nutley Brass...I want mushrooms on that. I say this with pride. If only the internet existed when I was hanging with the band in the 80s.
	♥ 5:39pm HyperDose: @RRN63 The Arbitrarium right here on Mon nights is a good place to start. That'll lube you up for Sheena's ;)
	♥ 5:40pm Mr. Pumpy: I appreciate what they do, and hope it continues.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...have heard they pretty nutty down Sheena's way, yeah...
	♥ 5:41pm Monica: Mr. Pumpy - love The Nutley Brass!
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& a few Rock'n'Soul GenrePrograms have become absolutely Obligato. Jeezus - this is just one Station...
	♥ 5:44pm Krys O.: Oh, Monica, you are the Doyenne of Exquisite Segues! It's so wonderful to hear your shows. Thanks and take care! xxxooo
	♥ 5:45pm Monica: Much appreciated, Krys O. - thanks for swingin' by!
	♥ 5:45pm Sem: ^What Krys O. said. G'night, and sweet dreams.
	♥ 5:45pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab, I like to think of it as the car radio back before radio sucked, where you had several channels programmed into the clunky pushbuttons, and you'd flip around as the whim took you. Same-same now except mostly digital and all WFMU. Good night, Sem!
	5:46pm ben & Reba: Enjoying your show Monica, Hi from Pittsburgh
	♥ 5:47pm Monica: ben & Reba - thx and hello right back atcha!
	♥ 5:49pm Monica: Hey YOU - yeah YOU!!! Thanks a mill for tuning in today. It's been a blast and a half - you guys and gals are terrif. Scott will be back next week and I'll see you all soon!!!
	5:50pm ncjay: hope it is indeed soon! Thanks for the show Monica, always great to hear you!
	♥ 5:51pm HyperDose: You're the bee's knees, M. Thanx!
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: ...me - kinda like being a gradeschool kid - & in September the few Networks we had then would come out with new Saturday Morning Cartoon / Kids Show schedules ...so I'd get out a ruler & make a graph so I'd know what to watch in each Timeslot ...transposed to marginal 21stCentury PopRawks & this braindazzling mosaic of Avant Irritainments for the Earz...
	♥ 5:52pm Bucksomcounty: Boa tarde, Mistress Monica, and to all! Thank you again for another amazing show! Good luck on your move.
	♥ 5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Monica. Have a happy spring!

	♥ 3:35pm Listener Howard & the Cats: Monica, I hope so! I think I told you, also ages ago, that after your interview Kenny G told his listeners all the inappropriate details about your interview that you were too classy to divulge, like Ferry greeting you in his hotel room wearing nothing beneath his open bathrobe?

	♥ 3:40pm Monica: Bucksomcounty - many thx. and yes, many thx to KEN!
	♥ 3:40pm karlward: Handy: I always figured "Even Trolls Love Rock N Roll" was a B side, but here it is, on the A side, plain as day: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 3:41pm MarciB: @Bunny Rake I don't know about that - I've had colds that were way worse than this. But Monica is hitting it out of the park today and it's only 40 mins in! I'm feeling really uplifted - the healing power of great curated music :)
	♥ 3:42pm Handy Haversack: Amazing the information out there, karlward!
	♥ 3:43pm joe mulligan: Oh @Handy hahaha I didnae even notice the Bunny Rake we were having so much fun. I guess it tis the season for raking the rabbit pellets out from the pool Bun-Bun I aint saying you wrong or right it's just it aint good party talk here
	♥ 3:43pm drr: Why do people think this is a good forum to try to save people from getting vaccinated? What's the upside for them?

	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...til there's a vax for Trolls that won't Sign In & Own It - I guess all we have is Herd Immunity to them the hard way. Sigh. On the plus side - they are getting to be a distinctly less Novel virus all the time... Covid-19, otoh - still too new to the Human Immune System. Alas.
	♥ 3:45pm drr: sounds like a workout at the very least, Hubig Pie.
	♥ 3:45pm drr: Hi Monica! Pleased to be here.
	♥ 3:45pm Crosby in KC: I am so digging this track. Gettin' funky in my chair, over here.

	♥ 3:46pm Hubig Pie: drr, it's applied "to taste". I salvaged 3/4 of it

	♥ 3:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: "i DId MY owN rEseArcH and all I got was this stupid T-shirt."
	♥ 3:51pm Crosby in KC: @Ken From Hyde Park that's perfect!
	♥ 3:53pm Polyus: Geez there's another Roxy reunion happening? I saw the 2001 tour and it was surprisingly good but another 20-plus years on? Hmmm.

	4:22pm puppy farts: Monica! Sorry idk why my phone autocorrected that

	4:30pm jimmytallow: That was an amazing set
	♥ 4:33pm Monica: many thanks, jimmytallow:)
	♥ 4:34pm Polyus: @ tim - I am in Minneapolis.
	♥ 4:35pm tim from washington: Anybody seen the Rick James doc called 'Bitchin'"? I watched it last night. I thought it was great. Excellent interviews with the Stone City Band members. Unlike many recent docs, it didn't feel like a 90 minute promo.
	♥ 4:36pm drr: Weird how the most mainstream artists played on this show made it truly freeform.
	♥ 4:36pm tim from washington: @Polyus - excellent! I'm a rust belter midwesterner by origin.
	♥ 4:36pm drr: Seemed so unexpected.
	♥ 4:37pm DjLorraine: Tim from W i have seen it and knew someone who worked for him.
	♥ 4:37pm tim from washington: @drr - A good song's a good song.

	♥ 4:38pm Michael 98145: Frozen northland www.duluthharborcam.com...
	♥ 4:39pm Stevel: Gee whiz, this Angel Olsen track is grooving in a mellow way.
	♥ 4:39pm Phillippe: (swoon)
	♥ 4:40pm Handy Haversack: Heh, Phillippe. Your devotion was rewarded!
	♥ 4:40pm Monica: G - Thx so much for pullin' up:) Stevel - record of the year - callin' it now!
	♥ 4:40pm Jeff Moore: Hey, Monica, great as always to hear you! We also enjoyed your double appearance on Questlove Supreme, filling in all those details from NYC of a previous era. And thanks to robot remote DJ Ken! We were all really looking forward to a Monica show this afternoon, thanks for figuring out how to make it happen.
	♥ 4:41pm tim from washington: I liked that Angel Olson a lot! It reminded me of TCB band Elvis.
	♥ 4:42pm Mark Hurst: Great show today, Monica - thanks
	♥ 4:44pm Handy Haversack: Jeff Moore, just to put a period on the story: in a paroxysm of fear that I'd have to pay for that crate of Mobile Fidelity discs, I queried the Discogs vendor that had sent them. Long story short, they sent me a shipping label, I put the box back in the hall, and either USPS or a very strong thief has made off with it. I got to keep the Pretenders album for my trouble, and it's really the only one I was really interested in from the lot. I am glad to have the shelf space back and that some clerk at GoVinylGo isn't going to get in trouble over the whole thing.
	♥ 4:45pm tim from washington: Crazy story, Handy! What Pretenders record did you keep?
	♥ 4:46pm Monica: Thank YOU, Jeff Moore! Much appreciated, great to be "here." And thank you for checking the Questlove podcasts:) Many thx to YOU, Mark Hurst!!!
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: I might have paid you for the MFSL 45 RPM Mastered Blonde On Blonde ...but hell I got the goldisc...
	♥ 4:47pm drr: @tim: no question
	♥ 4:47pm Jeff Moore: @Handy H: Sounds like a resolution working out well for all! Now, does the Pretenders disc sound good?
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: ...& yer StandUp once again...
	♥ 4:48pm drr: And now I've heard Ralfi Pagan doing a Lovin Spoonful tune. It's like two great tastes that taste great together.
	♥ 4:49pm Michael 98145: yes
	♥ 4:49pm Handy Haversack: The 1979 eponymous one, tim. I know, Rev Rab, but I was kind of like ... do I need to give BD this much shelf space? I'd rather the decision be taken from me! Remains to be heard, Jeff Moore! I haven't turned off WFMU long enough to find out yet! The horns of the dilemma.
	♥ 4:49pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi, Monica and all!!
	♥ 4:49pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for the great show, Monica! Always happy to catch when you're filling in. Thanks for masterfully practicing your Dark Arts, Ken!
	♥ 4:51pm drr: which reminds me: one night when I lived in Bushwick (10 yrs ago) I heard a record of somebody singing Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" in Spanish, from an open window. So great. I'd love to know what that record was, it's one of the great unknowns of music for me.
	♥ 4:51pm Will the Sound Guy: I've heard most of the show so far, I'm enjoying the tunes!
	♥ 4:51pm Monica: Greetings and thx, Will the Sound Guy!
	♥ 4:52pm tim from washington: I love that record, Handy. One of my top 20 of all time.
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SamCooke En Espanol !
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh, not Sam singing. Well anyway.
	♥ 4:55pm Michael 98145: Loverly selections ... as always
	♥ 4:55pm Stevel: Al Green: Sub-fucking-lime.
	4:55pm Yes: Perfect
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The one & only.
	♥ 4:56pm Monica: Stevel - best version evah.
	4:57pm Nate in Detroit: I was just reaching for the clicky-star button for this song, and realized i already clicked it from one of your sets back in 2013! Long time Monica fan over here! When are you going to do a regular show again??
	♥ 4:57pm Handy Haversack: It's been said before and will be said again, but: This set is amazing.
	♥ 4:58pm Monica: Nate in Detroit - YO! many thx, handy:)
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah he omits the melodrama & excess Production - which leaves AlGreen Singing This.
	4:59pm Nate in Detroit: @handy @monica i have a feeling this set is going to hang out in it's own special tab in my browser for a while
	4:59pm morphe': Not acsciamated ...(sp???) Thanks Monica !!!
	♥ 4:59pm drr: RevRab: I don't think it was Sam, good guess. This seemed more like Ralfi Pagan or Joe Bataan or just something entirely new to me.
	♥ 5:01pm drr: Thanks Monica for a terrific set.
	♥ 5:01pm Phin The Hyooman: I'm dropping likey-stars all over that Al Green rendition. Great set, Monica!
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @drr: Thot you meant it was Sam. Which I'm free to imagine anyhow...
	♥ 5:03pm Monica: morphe' + Phin The Hyooman - right on with the right on!
	♥ 5:03pm YETI BOB: greetings from Chicago, where it's currently grey and rainy
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: Archie singing ??
	♥ 5:05pm TDK60: I do like the Righteous Bros. version of 'Unchained' /because/ of the glossy overproduction. But don't lose sleep over my opinion. Or, get a nap in.
	♥ 5:06pm Monica: Thx, YETI BON - my home town:)
	♥ 5:06pm DjLorraine: Tim from Washington interesting and exciting. I didn't know he played with so many greats. Too bad he wasnt around folks that couldve steered him to a healthier lifestyle.
	♥ 5:09pm Bucksomcounty: I fell in love under the spell of Mr. C's Bossa Nova Carnival on FMU that Summer.
	5:09pm charlespowne: Hi Monica, I'll second what Nate In Detroit asked: When are you going to get a regular show again? I love your musical choices -- you've introduced me to so many excellent songs and artists. Last time was that "Gold Dust" song, which I'm still listening to on repeat. Thank you for doing the fill ins. Moar please!
	5:10pm lazy pierogi: thirding that notion of a regular show - your show was my gateway show to WFMU many years ago <3
	♥ 5:13pm Monica: Bucksomcounty - will pass that along to him! charlespowne + lazy pierogi - no plans to return on the regular but will definitely be poppin' back in for fill-ins.
	♥ 5:14pm dale: hey mo. ha my ears on doing some spring cleaning. good spring cleaning music for sure. good to hear your dulcet voice.
	♥ 5:15pm Monica: aiyo, dale!
	♥ 5:16pm YETI BOB: Glad I'm catching at least part of the show today, Monica. I always enjoy your picks.
	♥ 5:18pm Michael 98145: Merrilee .. local heroine
	♥ 5:18pm Matt Fiveash: Magnifico Mo! Xo
	♥ 5:18pm chris in the redwoods: oh my goodness, this song. had such an impact on young teenage me.
	5:19pm ron-ji: What an amazing set! Love the mix of stuff I know and love & that which is utterly new to me. I keep trying to switch to NPR, but there’s no way the news could possibly be as beautiful and inspiring as this.
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& were Matt5 who noted Chip Taylor wrote Angel same day after WildThing. As one would, in that order. Like that version much.
	♥ 5:20pm dale: i never heard of the 'and the turnabouts' bit.
	♥ 5:20pm Michael 98145: This is such a great melody
	♥ 5:21pm Listener Howard & the Cats: I completely agree with CharlesPowne! (Hi Charles, I hope the Cats are well!)
	♥ 5:21pm Monica: Matt Fiveash - now it's official!! ron-ji - thank you!
	♥ 5:21pm DjLorraine: Handy Pretenders 1979!! So good
	♥ 5:22pm Handy Haversack: I have loved "Angle of the Morning" since I was a little kid. Are there any bad versions? Hey, DjLorraine!
	♥ 5:23pm Handy Haversack: "Angel of the Morning," too. I love all things that belong to the morning. Except the alarm clock.
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn but this Station.
	♥ 5:23pm Michael 98145: { Although credited to "Merrilee Rush and the Turnabouts", both the single and subsequent album (also called Angel of the Morning) were recorded using the same musicians who played on Elvis Presley's famous Memphis recordings. }
	♥ 5:24pm Handy Haversack: My response was delayed as I was mixing a drink. So: cheers, Monica and and Moniceers! If they could see us now!
	♥ 5:24pm HyperDose: Joe McGasko type beat 😍
	♥ 5:25pm Michael 98145: Sweet Charity ?
	♥ 5:25pm Bucksomcounty: Ohhh thank you for playing "Carnival Morning!!!" I think your old show may have introduced me to that song
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Station. With a Fill-In. In a lockdown.
	♥ 5:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nutley Brass, hit it!
	♥ 5:27pm dale: monica is the only good deejay on the station - no one else plays belle barth or rusty warren.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - I term Gaylord the Master Weaver. But - he's not the only one...
	5:32pm Imgur: What a version!!!
	♥ 5:33pm Monica: no shortage of WFMU DJs on the mothership and the alternate streams weaving their wondrous spells week in and week out - and a hot bench of fill-ins. Shout out to Give the Drummer Radio, Rock'N'Soul Radio, and Sheena's Jungle Room!
	♥ 5:34pm Monica: agree, imgur!
	♥ 5:34pm Handy Haversack: Woop woop! (That was me shouting out.)
	♥ 5:35pm Sem: Lovin' the spins, Ms. M. Just the things for this time of day. Thanks.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always say the DrummerStream is like a backroom with fewer people & more lived-in but puffier furniture... Somehow have made few inroads into Sheena's yet...
	♥ 5:39pm Mr. Pumpy: HA! The Nutley Brass...I want mushrooms on that. I say this with pride. If only the internet existed when I was hanging with the band in the 80s.
	♥ 5:39pm HyperDose: @RRN63 The Arbitrarium right here on Mon nights is a good place to start. That'll lube you up for Sheena's ;)
	♥ 5:40pm Mr. Pumpy: I appreciate what they do, and hope it continues.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...have heard they pretty nutty down Sheena's way, yeah...
	♥ 5:41pm Monica: Mr. Pumpy - love The Nutley Brass!
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& a few Rock'n'Soul GenrePrograms have become absolutely Obligato. Jeezus - this is just one Station...
	♥ 5:44pm Krys O.: Oh, Monica, you are the Doyenne of Exquisite Segues! It's so wonderful to hear your shows. Thanks and take care! xxxooo
	♥ 5:45pm Monica: Much appreciated, Krys O. - thanks for swingin' by!
	♥ 5:45pm Sem: ^What Krys O. said. G'night, and sweet dreams.
	♥ 5:45pm Handy Haversack: Rev Rab, I like to think of it as the car radio back before radio sucked, where you had several channels programmed into the clunky pushbuttons, and you'd flip around as the whim took you. Same-same now except mostly digital and all WFMU. Good night, Sem!
	5:46pm ben & Reba: Enjoying your show Monica, Hi from Pittsburgh

	♥ 5:51pm HyperDose: You're the bee's knees, M. Thanx!
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: ...me - kinda like being a gradeschool kid - & in September the few Networks we had then would come out with new Saturday Morning Cartoon / Kids Show schedules ...so I'd get out a ruler & make a graph so I'd know what to watch in each Timeslot ...transposed to marginal 21stCentury PopRawks & this braindazzling mosaic of Avant Irritainments for the Earz...
