	3:36pm P-90: s u p e r g I d d y !
	3:37pm Robm: @SgelbyG i sure wilk
	♥ 3:37pm Vanessa Tara: soundbreaking is a great doc!!!
	♥ 3:37pm Handy Haversack: We've been missing it, too, ShelbyG, with a return to a semblance of a social life lately. I'm sure that will shut down again soon!
	3:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Soundbreaking. Great overview of Recording very broadly - as well as considering where we are now with it.
	♥ 3:38pm Vanessa Tara: i luv that song!
	3:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - Label says tour this big Hit ! ...Just one problem - the Band doesn't actually exist... Tho I suppose that has happened to Studio Bands often enuff...
	3:40pm Domenic: That Boston guy lived just North of Boston near Salem MA... pretty area
	♥ 3:40pm The Oscar: Afternoon! I had a professor in college who was a DJ at WFNX, one of the big alternative rock stations in Boston. I remember him saying that a LOT of people in the local scene were baffled when the Boston album came out, because how did this huge arena rock band just appear out of nowhere?!
	3:41pm Dave K: I love More Than a Feeling and I'm not ashamed.
	3:41pm djsheilab: "More Than A Feeling" is nothing to be ashamed of!
	3:41pm P-90: Sholz is an MIT grad who financed that basement studio with his job as a product developer at Polaroid corp. Later he had a company that sold his sound gizmos to other musicians. Interesting guy.
	♥ 3:41pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: popular or not, it's a childhood memory ... i first heard boston on my parents' car radio on the way to a halloween dance in grade one ... to me, the boston song feels like childhood wonder
	3:41pm Andres: Always turn up More Than A Feeling when it’s on the radio!
	3:42pm Cooh John: Is Bob Ezrin in the documentary? Tom was from Ottawa Hills OH. "Boston" was perhaps the first DIY album.
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Influenced 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' - however ironically.
	♥ 3:42pm dreamyandseedy: Hi ShelbyG! Hi Handy! Hi Jason from Houston! Hi Robm! hiiiiiiiiiii everyone la luz is lulling me
	♥ 3:42pm Handy Haversack: I like the feeling of a good choice confirmed when I see a band I like has a new single or album, and I think, "Do I have to figure out a time to turn off WFMU and listen to it? I bet if I just wait, someone will play it in the next couple of days." Second time today that's been rewarded! Thanks, Sheila!
	3:43pm deposed: I still really love "Foreplay/Long Time" by Boston
	3:43pm P-90: I have to see this doc now. I hope Ezrin is in it, he has great stories. Also Trevor Horn?
	3:44pm djsheilab: P-90—It's a fabulous doc! Tom Petty / Jeff Lynne bit is very memorable too.
	♥ 3:44pm loveless: Hello all. Back from taking dad to the doctor. Didn't miss one bit of the show. Gotta love technology when it works.
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: "More Than a Feeling" has one of my favorite lines in lyric history: "Streetlights! People!"
	♥ 3:45pm Jason from Houston: Good greetings to you, dreamyandseedy!
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, loveless, dreamyandseedy, all!
	♥ 3:45pm listener james from westwood: Rizzo!
	3:46pm ShelbyG: Hi dreamy! I love Rizzo ❤️
	3:46pm MG: omg. My FAVE song off the Grease soundtrack.
	♥ 3:46pm tim from washington: Handy! hahaha. Isn't that Journey? hahaha
	♥ 3:46pm Polyus: The bad girl!
	3:46pm djsheilab: MG—It is THE best!
	♥ 3:47pm Frank Zaatar: @The Oscar: I remember that there were a lot of fine Boston bands at the time that never broke--Orchestra Luna being one of the best. So yeah, I was puzzled too. But I'll give them this: More Than a Feeling is one of those songs that when it comes on in a convenience story I'll stick around till it's over.
	♥ 3:47pm Handy Haversack: Is it? Ha! K8 and I say it to each other all the time. "People." "Streetlights." "People."
	♥ 3:47pm tim from washington: I think every babysitter I had from age 5-7 brought this record with them when they came over.
	3:48pm ShelbyG: agree with tim about journey
	♥ 3:48pm loveless: @Shelby G How are you? Glad to see your name up here.
	♥ 3:48pm tim from washington: @Handy - hahaha. Now I'm not 100% confident now. I hear Steve Perry's voice in my with with that line.
	♥ 3:49pm loveless: @Robm Hey there!
	♥ 3:49pm Vanessa Tara: ahh, mable john's stax output ... also like her motown stuff
	♥ 3:49pm Gurldoggie: Hi all - Just tuning in. Sorry to have missed the first hour, looks like things are off to a strong start...
	♥ 3:50pm loveless: @Handy Hiya!
	3:50pm P-90: Yes it’s Journey
	3:50pm U.K. steve: God I needed this….☺️
	3:50pm djsheilab: Hey loveless, deposed, RRNov63, + Frank Zaatar! And Gurldoggie!
	♥ 3:54pm Handy Haversack: Ha, tim, I can hear it only in our shared deadpan!
	3:54pm Robm: Hi back dreamy @Loveless howdy
	♥ 3:59pm Niall: Handy Haversack: Oh, I remember Arrowood, aye. They had a nice compound there.
	♥ 3:59pm Hubig Pie: Yoam wa Lailah - day and night Just tryin' to be helpful
	3:59pm ShelbyG: Lurrrvly loveless ❤️❤️ Gurldoggie ❤️❤️
	♥ 4:02pm chris in the redwoods: this Makossiri is dope! can't stop movin'
	♥ 4:03pm dreamyandseedy: if you play Pongo after this i will go crazy!!
	♥ 4:03pm tim from washington: Whooooo, this is bad ass! Juicy Juicy is making my brain woozy. Is there a name for this style of music coming from Africa? John All played that nuts track from Tannzania that was similar to this. Tweeked out and 240 bpm.
	4:04pm djsheilab: New Santigold!!!!
	4:06pm ShelbyG: dreamy: my pup’s name is Pongo
	4:11pm djsheilab: ShelbyG—Perfect name for a pup! dreamyandseedy—Wish I liked the new Pongo album. Dunno what happened to her sound :(
	♥ 4:12pm Gaylord Fields: Sheila, I am forever chuffed that I am thought of whenever you think of David Gates! I get the same thoughts and feelings about you when I hear his spectacular songs, it should be clear. Thanks for the shout-out! <3
	4:13pm djsheilab: You know it, Gaylord Fields!
	♥ 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sophisticated Boom Boom from the womb to the tomb!
	♥ 4:17pm dreamyandseedy: djsheilab: oh i haven't listened to her new one, sad to hear it doesn't hold up to the songs you've played on SBB in the past. it's truly the worst thing when the new album you are longing for isn't good
	4:18pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—I was crushed!
	4:18pm djsheilab: Hey Ken From Hyde Park!
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez - an 18 y.o. Aretha. It's almost too much to contemplate.
	♥ 4:20pm Jherweg: Glad you made it the church on time .
	4:20pm djsheilab: Jherweg—Only just! Thanks for helping me out.
	4:22pm ShelbyG: I love this ❤️
	4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 StudioOne
	♥ 4:24pm tim from washington: I finally watched Small Axe this week. It was as great as I hoped it would be and the music in it was top notch.
	4:25pm UK Steve: Wow !!! Majestic Arrows moment of the show (so far 😉😊)
	4:25pm djsheilab: UK Steve—Majestic Arrows moment! Haha...love that!
	4:26pm djsheilab: tim from washington—Isn't it divine? I can't think of a better series of films. "Lovers Rock," especially.
	4:26pm UK Steve: So do I now thanks to you 😊
	4:27pm michael z: So dreamy……
	4:27pm ShelbyG: Wow. This song is gorgeous. 1st time hearing.
	♥ 4:27pm diciassette: ❤️💔!
	4:27pm Bii from Hoboken: Beautiful song!!!
	4:28pm djsheilab: michael z—So glad you shared this with me!
	4:31pm Bill from Hoboken: Hoboken's own Yo La Tengo!
	4:31pm michael z: And so glad that you ran it so brilliantly into the next song. That’s what makes Sophisticated Boom Boom so special.
	♥ 4:31pm Hubig Pie: First time I hear this cover. I likes
	♥ 4:32pm tim from washington: @Sheila - Lover's Rock was so great. I wanted to be there!
	♥ 4:34pm Aharon: Jeez, set beautiful enough for ya?
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: tim - where did you access SmallAxe ?
	♥ 4:35pm Carmichael: This is pretty lush vocalizing. Like a hip Longines Symphonette ...
	♥ 4:37pm Handy Haversack: OK, I'll admit it: I napped for a bit between Santigold and Marlon Williams. These kittens cast sleep on me! But I am rousing now.
	4:37pm katharsis: I was loving that song and then my stream went out.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - I put it to you that being put to sleep by Musics is often high praise! ...but I has DeathWish Coffees again - !! Powerful & delicious.
	♥ 4:39pm tim from washington: @RRN - My local library.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx tim.
	♥ 4:40pm tim from washington: @RRN - I haven't checked to see if it's streamable through the library.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah ! I do think Prog is in the air !
	4:42pm Kate D: Joining a wee late today....Greetings Sheila! Sending mad love to all you all on Friday.
	♥ 4:42pm Hubig Pie: Prog is everywhere
	♥ 4:42pm The Oscar: A friend of mine sent me a link to this prog cruise, which is... really something! loudwire.com...
	4:42pm deposed: We need a revival for sure. But pleeeeez not prog. I don't think many of you know what it was like in the '70s
	♥ 4:42pm tim from washington: "OK kids. 2 works of advice. 1. Prog is in the air. 2. Prog is NOT a four letter word. Now get to work."
	4:42pm djsheilab: Prog is in the air, and everywhere! Yes Hubig Pie + RRNov 63! And hello dear friend, Kate D!
	♥ 4:43pm maestroso: Totally with you on the subject of Prog, Sheila.
	4:44pm djsheilab: maestroso + tim from washington—Yeeeaahhh!
	4:44pm djsheilab: The Oscar—A prog cruise?? WOW.
	4:44pm Ray from Clifton: Sheila, got a great female fronted prog metal band for ya. Oceans of Slumber. Highly suggest their song “To The Sea (A Tolling of the Bells.)” I was also at Genesis on December!
	♥ 4:45pm maestroso: Cruise To The Edge.
	4:45pm Don F.: Love rain forest (and organic) music. Thx for playin' Sheila B.
	4:45pm djsheilab: Thank you, Ray from Clifton!
	4:46pm djsheilab: My pleasure, Don F.!
	♥ 4:46pm tim from washington: @The Oscar - Wow! I can just see it now: "Hey, have you guys seen, Handy?" "No, last I heard he was following Marillion on the Prog Cruise."
	4:47pm mike s.: oceans of slumber are extreme metal... blackened, i'd say
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The HipHoppers developed to where they were making Concept Albums. Some time ago already.
	♥ 4:53pm Gaylord Fields: New Gwenno?! I am there!!!
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KingCrimsony sounds from Ashra here...
	4:53pm djsheilab: Gaylord Fields—New album out very soon!
	♥ 4:55pm diciassette: Did I pre-order the Gwenno album?, I ask myself. I also believe that I need a Gwenno poster.
	4:55pm Miss G: Heavenly! In & out of sleep and some lovely songs just played. The set lists look so interesting, can't wait for the archive. All boosted & crossed fingers I make some antibodies this time. Thank you for Good Aural Vibrations Sheila B!
	♥ 4:55pm _Ike_: Sounds great!
	4:56pm ledzeppelinsucks: Swanton VT is a multitude of garage sales. This morning I was driving and saw a person post a sale sign. I went and it was an old folks home closing in St Albans City. I scored some of the corpse handling PPE.
	♥ 4:56pm Gaylord Fields: Ordering it NOW; gonna play one of the preview tracks on my next show! Thanks, Sheila!
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...1978 a little ahead of the AdrianBelew Crimson even - there's TalkingHeads I suppose...
	4:56pm djsheilab: Thanks Miss G + Ike!
	4:57pm fredr: Wow! Sheila playing Ashra Tempel
	4:57pm KG.585: Too cool. Saw a dad and daughter playing badminton over some lawn chairs in their front yard just now. It’s all coming together
	4:58pm P-90: Big love for Gwenno and Ashra
	♥ 4:59pm Handy Haversack: The greasepaint budget for the Marillion prog cruise is really staggering.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have escaped exposure to Marillion somehow...
	5:01pm KG.585: Fmu app sounds 1000x better than any other audio app in my headphones
	5:02pm djsheilab: KG.585—High-kvality here at FMU!
	♥ 5:03pm tim from washington: Sheila - I've got your new tagline. How does this sound? MAKE PROG NOT WAR!
	♥ 5:05pm G: Was at the dentist. Apparently missing either prog, or else comment-board prog-begging...
	5:05pm KG.585: CHAKA KVALITY
	♥ 5:06pm diciassette: YES!
	5:06pm mike s.: last great "prog revival" happened in Sweden in early 90s Anglagard, Landberk, and Anekdoten
	5:07pm P-90: Clicky-Star for “Chaka Kvality”
	5:08pm djsheilab: tim from washington—Good one!
	5:09pm Dave In Leicester: Great memories of the Sundays record
	5:11pm mike s.: the sundays!
	♥ 5:11pm G: @mike s.: There are at least three or four different successive prog waves, the second one coming in the mid/later 80s, etc. TL;DR: Prog never actually died. It just stepped out of the record charts and into a small niche
	5:11pm P-90: Good Mac Trac
	5:12pm djsheilab: P-90—A Christine McVie gem!
	5:13pm Andrea Egert: Happy Friday Sheila B. & Sophisticates!
	5:16pm Domenic: Clicky star?
	5:16pm P-90: Prog has been absorbed into the musical vocabulary. Musicians and bands will include “Proggy” elements in their pieces the same way they include “Jazzy”, Bluesy”, “Folky”, etc. elements.
	♥ 5:18pm Carmichael: I can't handle the "new" Fleetwood Mac, after growing up with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, etc ... Kinda like the David Gilmour Pink Floyd after hearing Syd Barrett for so long. Just way different. But you kids go have your fun ...
	5:19pm P-90: Most people have no idea what Fentanyl is, how extremely dangerous it is, how often it is substituted for or added to street drugs. It is NOT just another painkiller.
	5:19pm Jenny: dancesafe.org
	♥ 5:20pm chris in the redwoods: i've seen narcan save a person's life. it should be available everywhere for free.
	♥ 5:20pm Bimbus Bambus: @Carmichael isn't Peter Green actually on that particular song Sheila played though?
	5:21pm P-90: “liable” shmiable
	♥ 5:22pm Mark Hurst: from yesterday's NYT: "Fentanyl Tainted Pills Bought on Social Media Cause Youth Drug Deaths to Soar" - naming Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok, and others: www.nytimes.com...
	5:22pm mike s.: stay off them drugs, kids...
	5:22pm Nick: As a firefighter who has "narcaned" young OD victims in Bushwick and Ridgewood, I can only say there are no "safe" recreational drugs. Enjoy the concert or show sober
	♥ 5:23pm G: @P-90. Yup. People claim proggy traits for (e.g.) Radiohead, etc etc etc. But there are still straight-up self-identifying prog bands, in a series of impulses since the 80s. And there are also prog subgenres: prog metal etc. etc.
	♥ 5:23pm Carmichael: @Bimbus, yes he plays very briefly at the end. There is a bonus version where he plays a little more throughout. Only 1 of 2 times he guested after leaving the band and some of his mind.
	5:23pm Miss G: This beautiful song and all your prog talk makes me want to say "Canterbury" could that be right at all? for an. . .allusion (is that the word?) I used to hear so many stories of those bands
	5:24pm djsheilab: Mark Hurst—That's the piece I read, amongst others. Maddening! Although as much as one can point fingers at the social media companies, this really is a result of the drug war and lack of government oversight.
	5:24pm Jazz Upholsterer: a good friend of mine just lost his brother to fentanyl laced percasets here in California, why is it being put in perscription named drugs? i thought it was just being put in the crank, dope and coke...this is even more concerning. thanks for mentioning it ms. B. this is just the second time i've heard of it cut with percs now..
	5:25pm Jocelyn: One of the private carriers I work for has begun keeping the fentanyl testing strips on board all aircraft along with narcan. We’ve been carrying narcan for a few years and I’ve had to use it a few times. What was scary in each circumstance is they thought their financial and social status would prevent them from getting “bad” pills. Nope
	♥ 5:25pm G: @Miss G: Yep, Canterbury was a whole early prog scene in the 70s, and has branched out in various ways over the decades.
	5:25pm djsheilab: Nick—Oh how awful. But sadly kids are going to do drugs. It's part of being human. And this fentanyl issue is very recent.
	♥ 5:26pm Carmichael: Canterbury! Wilde Flowers, Soft Machine, Caravan, Hatfield & The North, Fred Frith, National Health ...
	5:26pm Miss G: Look - there are a lot of counterfeit drugs that you get at the CVS. Once I got a prescription for a popular sleeping medicine and I swear that they were just talc tablets. Luckily, this was before fentanyl.
	5:27pm djsheilab: Jazz Upholsterer—It's being mixed with everything these days. I'm so sorry for your friend.
	5:28pm Miss G: Carmichael, Hatfield & The North, yes, that sounds familar! Nice memories (although, it's really "nice lack of memories" I guess I could say)
	♥ 5:28pm Patrick S.: What a terrific show today.
	5:29pm Jazz Upholsterer: keep using your powers for good. Thanks
	5:29pm Don F.: Operative word - 'non lethal'. Hope that's what you were after.
	5:30pm djsheilab: Jocelyn—All companies should do the same—equip themselves with the fentanyl strips + narcan. Thanks for sharing.
	5:30pm djsheilab: Thank you Patrick S.!
	♥ 5:31pm chris in the redwoods: bottom line: if you or someone you know uses narcotics, for any reason, have narcan/naloxone on hand. and don't use/take alone.
	♥ 5:31pm Gaylord Fields: Kendra Spottswood & Van McCoy!!! <3 Sheila, we need to do a Van special one day!
	5:32pm djsheilab: Gaylord Fields—A Van special. Would love that! SO MANY glorious records.
	5:32pm djsheilab: Don F.—Yes!
	♥ 5:32pm G: Playlist on this show is always good for a Friday afternoon calm-down/wind-down mood.
	♥ 5:32pm Gaylord Fields: Yes, then we shall do it, Sheila!
	5:32pm djsheilab: Thanks G!
	5:33pm Miss G: I guess I will have a nice night of Soft Machine tonight. _So many stories_ about Soft machine LOL
	♥ 5:34pm LCBD: I’m loving the show, SheilaB!
	5:34pm Jocelyn: I feel like they should be as common as hand sanitizer or mace because you never know. Also we as a society need to understand it’s not about drugs. It’s trauma, pain, fear. But that’s a much larger conversation.
	♥ 5:34pm Dano59: really nice to hear Martha + the Muffins and The Sundays in the mix today. I missed a few (Stockard Channing!) between painting out back and coming in to wash up; Fridays are for decompressing even while retired
	5:35pm mike s.: let's keep it about music... not drugs
	5:35pm Don F.: Betty Carter doin a Inkspots? Nice.
	5:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: The Beb and Jerry's non dairy peanut butter and cookies is top.
	♥ 5:36pm Dano59: Jocelyn - right. A more equitable society would obviate the need for drugs. And mike s.? ... drugs come right BEFORE rock'n'roll
	♥ 5:36pm jamesegio: Only users lose drugs.
	♥ 5:37pm pgalub: Hey Sheila and everyone! Lovely show!
	♥ 5:37pm Handy Haversack: Pete!
	5:37pm Jocelyn: Oddly enough yes! Weird story, I needed hair serum so I picked up my regular brand at a drugstore. It reeked of alcohol like hand sanitizer, had the gel texture and was so gross. Maybe they reformulated? No. It turns out the Paul Mitchell hair serum I bought at the popular drugstore chain WAS hand sanitizer put in Paul Mitchell bottles. The drugstore chain bought it from a 3rd party not the brand them self. So you never know what you’re getting.
	5:38pm djsheilab: Thanks LCBD!Hey Dano59! mike s.—I think it's important to talk about drugs, especially given the dire situation with fentanyl. Humans have used drugs since the beginning. That's never going to go away.
	5:38pm Miss G: Was just reading recently Queen of Bebop: The Musical Lives of Sarah Vaughan by Elaine M. Hayes, was so interesting. I'll have to take that out again from the library
	♥ 5:39pm pgalub: Hey Handy!
	5:39pm djsheilab: Hey Pete G.!
	♥ 5:39pm jamesegio: This music goes well with our cocktails:. Blueberry lemon daiquiris.
	5:39pm djsheilab: jamesegio—Delish!
	♥ 5:40pm chris in the redwoods: thanks for the music and the awareness raising, Sheila! and thanks everyone for chiming in and sharing. <3 <3 <3
	5:40pm ledzeppelinsucks: I was at a Nomeansno show in Tacoma and I kicked something. I picked it up and it was a fat prescription bottle with no label. I opened it after the show and it was a dealers inventory of meth. 30 or 40 packets in grams and fractions. I threw it onto an awning of a hotel.
	♥ 5:41pm steveo: Amazing picks, Sheila, so great to hear your show. Also thanks for addressing the Fentanyl problem. More awareness is always good.
	♥ 5:42pm G: The Boswells, from right here where I am in Uptown New Orleans...
	♥ 5:43pm LCBD: Right on steveo! Thanks SheilaB - no such thing as being too careful when it comes to drugs!
	5:46pm Miss G: oh yes and thank you re: newsletter thank you for that song Vangelis with Stina Nordenstam "Ask the Mountains" (1995) -- haunting and so beautiful.
	5:47pm djsheilab: Miss G—I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

	5:48pm djsheilab: Thanks for checkin' in Monica! Xoxo
	♥ 5:49pm dreamyandseedy: but if that means she's getting a record deal then it's ok, she deserves more money behind her
	5:49pm katharsis: Just lovely thanks dj Sheila and all
	5:50pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Yeah, I don't know why she's no longer on Bandcamp.
	♥ 5:52pm tim from washington: Thanks for the great show today, Sheila! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. There are no easy answers but open communication and discussion helps. I've been sober 8 years. (Alcohol was my problem). I have great empathy for those in pain and use to deal with the pain. Keep the discussion going. Thanks again for your music and insights and insights about music too! We love you!
	♥ 5:53pm dreamyandseedy: HERE WE GOOOOOOO sheila: you are gonna have such fun tonight, i have never been so excited for someone in my entire life!!!!!! it is such an overused phrase but Amber really IS in her own lane, and NO ONE can touch her at this time. and to top it all off, she seems like a genuinely good, smart, self-aware person who isn't letting her fame or any industry person influence her
	5:54pm mcdnyc: Excited to see Amber Mark this week too~~
	5:54pm thin slice: Never heard this before. It’s fantastic!
	♥ 5:56pm jamesegio: Luv that amber tune. Enjoy!!

	3:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves Soundbreaking. Great overview of Recording very broadly - as well as considering where we are now with it.
	♥ 3:38pm Vanessa Tara: i luv that song!
	3:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - Label says tour this big Hit ! ...Just one problem - the Band doesn't actually exist... Tho I suppose that has happened to Studio Bands often enuff...
	3:40pm Domenic: That Boston guy lived just North of Boston near Salem MA... pretty area
	♥ 3:40pm The Oscar: Afternoon! I had a professor in college who was a DJ at WFNX, one of the big alternative rock stations in Boston. I remember him saying that a LOT of people in the local scene were baffled when the Boston album came out, because how did this huge arena rock band just appear out of nowhere?!
	3:41pm Dave K: I love More Than a Feeling and I'm not ashamed.
	3:41pm djsheilab: "More Than A Feeling" is nothing to be ashamed of!
	3:41pm P-90: Sholz is an MIT grad who financed that basement studio with his job as a product developer at Polaroid corp. Later he had a company that sold his sound gizmos to other musicians. Interesting guy.
	♥ 3:41pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: popular or not, it's a childhood memory ... i first heard boston on my parents' car radio on the way to a halloween dance in grade one ... to me, the boston song feels like childhood wonder
	3:41pm Andres: Always turn up More Than A Feeling when it’s on the radio!
	3:42pm Cooh John: Is Bob Ezrin in the documentary? Tom was from Ottawa Hills OH. "Boston" was perhaps the first DIY album.
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Influenced 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' - however ironically.
	♥ 3:42pm dreamyandseedy: Hi ShelbyG! Hi Handy! Hi Jason from Houston! Hi Robm! hiiiiiiiiiii everyone la luz is lulling me
	♥ 3:42pm Handy Haversack: I like the feeling of a good choice confirmed when I see a band I like has a new single or album, and I think, "Do I have to figure out a time to turn off WFMU and listen to it? I bet if I just wait, someone will play it in the next couple of days." Second time today that's been rewarded! Thanks, Sheila!
	3:43pm deposed: I still really love "Foreplay/Long Time" by Boston
	3:43pm P-90: I have to see this doc now. I hope Ezrin is in it, he has great stories. Also Trevor Horn?
	3:44pm djsheilab: P-90—It's a fabulous doc! Tom Petty / Jeff Lynne bit is very memorable too.
	♥ 3:44pm loveless: Hello all. Back from taking dad to the doctor. Didn't miss one bit of the show. Gotta love technology when it works.
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: "More Than a Feeling" has one of my favorite lines in lyric history: "Streetlights! People!"
	♥ 3:45pm Jason from Houston: Good greetings to you, dreamyandseedy!
	♥ 3:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, loveless, dreamyandseedy, all!
	♥ 3:45pm listener james from westwood: Rizzo!
	3:46pm ShelbyG: Hi dreamy! I love Rizzo ❤️
	3:46pm MG: omg. My FAVE song off the Grease soundtrack.
	♥ 3:46pm tim from washington: Handy! hahaha. Isn't that Journey? hahaha
	♥ 3:46pm Polyus: The bad girl!
	3:46pm djsheilab: MG—It is THE best!
	♥ 3:47pm Frank Zaatar: @The Oscar: I remember that there were a lot of fine Boston bands at the time that never broke--Orchestra Luna being one of the best. So yeah, I was puzzled too. But I'll give them this: More Than a Feeling is one of those songs that when it comes on in a convenience story I'll stick around till it's over.
	♥ 3:47pm Handy Haversack: Is it? Ha! K8 and I say it to each other all the time. "People." "Streetlights." "People."
	♥ 3:47pm tim from washington: I think every babysitter I had from age 5-7 brought this record with them when they came over.
	3:48pm ShelbyG: agree with tim about journey
	♥ 3:48pm loveless: @Shelby G How are you? Glad to see your name up here.
	♥ 3:48pm tim from washington: @Handy - hahaha. Now I'm not 100% confident now. I hear Steve Perry's voice in my with with that line.

	♥ 4:03pm tim from washington: Whooooo, this is bad ass! Juicy Juicy is making my brain woozy. Is there a name for this style of music coming from Africa? John All played that nuts track from Tannzania that was similar to this. Tweeked out and 240 bpm.

	♥ 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sophisticated Boom Boom from the womb to the tomb!
	♥ 4:17pm dreamyandseedy: djsheilab: oh i haven't listened to her new one, sad to hear it doesn't hold up to the songs you've played on SBB in the past. it's truly the worst thing when the new album you are longing for isn't good
	4:18pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—I was crushed!
	4:18pm djsheilab: Hey Ken From Hyde Park!
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez - an 18 y.o. Aretha. It's almost too much to contemplate.

	4:27pm Bii from Hoboken: Beautiful song!!!
	4:28pm djsheilab: michael z—So glad you shared this with me!
	4:31pm Bill from Hoboken: Hoboken's own Yo La Tengo!
	4:31pm michael z: And so glad that you ran it so brilliantly into the next song. That’s what makes Sophisticated Boom Boom so special.
	♥ 4:31pm Hubig Pie: First time I hear this cover. I likes
	♥ 4:32pm tim from washington: @Sheila - Lover's Rock was so great. I wanted to be there!
	♥ 4:34pm Aharon: Jeez, set beautiful enough for ya?
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: tim - where did you access SmallAxe ?
	♥ 4:35pm Carmichael: This is pretty lush vocalizing. Like a hip Longines Symphonette ...
	♥ 4:37pm Handy Haversack: OK, I'll admit it: I napped for a bit between Santigold and Marlon Williams. These kittens cast sleep on me! But I am rousing now.
	4:37pm katharsis: I was loving that song and then my stream went out.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - I put it to you that being put to sleep by Musics is often high praise! ...but I has DeathWish Coffees again - !! Powerful & delicious.
	♥ 4:39pm tim from washington: @RRN - My local library.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx tim.
	♥ 4:40pm tim from washington: @RRN - I haven't checked to see if it's streamable through the library.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah ! I do think Prog is in the air !
	4:42pm Kate D: Joining a wee late today....Greetings Sheila! Sending mad love to all you all on Friday.
	♥ 4:42pm Hubig Pie: Prog is everywhere
	♥ 4:42pm The Oscar: A friend of mine sent me a link to this prog cruise, which is... really something! loudwire.com...
	4:42pm deposed: We need a revival for sure. But pleeeeez not prog. I don't think many of you know what it was like in the '70s
	♥ 4:42pm tim from washington: "OK kids. 2 works of advice. 1. Prog is in the air. 2. Prog is NOT a four letter word. Now get to work."
	4:42pm djsheilab: Prog is in the air, and everywhere! Yes Hubig Pie + RRNov 63! And hello dear friend, Kate D!
	♥ 4:43pm maestroso: Totally with you on the subject of Prog, Sheila.
	4:44pm djsheilab: maestroso + tim from washington—Yeeeaahhh!
	4:44pm djsheilab: The Oscar—A prog cruise?? WOW.
	4:44pm Ray from Clifton: Sheila, got a great female fronted prog metal band for ya. Oceans of Slumber. Highly suggest their song “To The Sea (A Tolling of the Bells.)” I was also at Genesis on December!
	♥ 4:45pm maestroso: Cruise To The Edge.
	4:45pm Don F.: Love rain forest (and organic) music. Thx for playin' Sheila B.
	4:45pm djsheilab: Thank you, Ray from Clifton!
	4:46pm djsheilab: My pleasure, Don F.!
	♥ 4:46pm tim from washington: @The Oscar - Wow! I can just see it now: "Hey, have you guys seen, Handy?" "No, last I heard he was following Marillion on the Prog Cruise."
	4:47pm mike s.: oceans of slumber are extreme metal... blackened, i'd say
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The HipHoppers developed to where they were making Concept Albums. Some time ago already.
	♥ 4:53pm Gaylord Fields: New Gwenno?! I am there!!!
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KingCrimsony sounds from Ashra here...
	4:53pm djsheilab: Gaylord Fields—New album out very soon!
	♥ 4:55pm diciassette: Did I pre-order the Gwenno album?, I ask myself. I also believe that I need a Gwenno poster.
	4:55pm Miss G: Heavenly! In & out of sleep and some lovely songs just played. The set lists look so interesting, can't wait for the archive. All boosted & crossed fingers I make some antibodies this time. Thank you for Good Aural Vibrations Sheila B!
	♥ 4:55pm _Ike_: Sounds great!
	4:56pm ledzeppelinsucks: Swanton VT is a multitude of garage sales. This morning I was driving and saw a person post a sale sign. I went and it was an old folks home closing in St Albans City. I scored some of the corpse handling PPE.
	♥ 4:56pm Gaylord Fields: Ordering it NOW; gonna play one of the preview tracks on my next show! Thanks, Sheila!
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...1978 a little ahead of the AdrianBelew Crimson even - there's TalkingHeads I suppose...
	4:56pm djsheilab: Thanks Miss G + Ike!
	4:57pm fredr: Wow! Sheila playing Ashra Tempel
	4:57pm KG.585: Too cool. Saw a dad and daughter playing badminton over some lawn chairs in their front yard just now. It’s all coming together
	4:58pm P-90: Big love for Gwenno and Ashra
	♥ 4:59pm Handy Haversack: The greasepaint budget for the Marillion prog cruise is really staggering.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have escaped exposure to Marillion somehow...
	5:01pm KG.585: Fmu app sounds 1000x better than any other audio app in my headphones
	5:02pm djsheilab: KG.585—High-kvality here at FMU!
	♥ 5:03pm tim from washington: Sheila - I've got your new tagline. How does this sound? MAKE PROG NOT WAR!
	♥ 5:05pm G: Was at the dentist. Apparently missing either prog, or else comment-board prog-begging...
	5:05pm KG.585: CHAKA KVALITY
	♥ 5:06pm diciassette: YES!
	5:06pm mike s.: last great "prog revival" happened in Sweden in early 90s Anglagard, Landberk, and Anekdoten
	5:07pm P-90: Clicky-Star for “Chaka Kvality”
	5:08pm djsheilab: tim from washington—Good one!
	5:09pm Dave In Leicester: Great memories of the Sundays record
	5:11pm mike s.: the sundays!
	♥ 5:11pm G: @mike s.: There are at least three or four different successive prog waves, the second one coming in the mid/later 80s, etc. TL;DR: Prog never actually died. It just stepped out of the record charts and into a small niche
	5:11pm P-90: Good Mac Trac
	5:12pm djsheilab: P-90—A Christine McVie gem!
	5:13pm Andrea Egert: Happy Friday Sheila B. & Sophisticates!
	5:16pm Domenic: Clicky star?
	5:16pm P-90: Prog has been absorbed into the musical vocabulary. Musicians and bands will include “Proggy” elements in their pieces the same way they include “Jazzy”, Bluesy”, “Folky”, etc. elements.
	♥ 5:18pm Carmichael: I can't handle the "new" Fleetwood Mac, after growing up with Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, etc ... Kinda like the David Gilmour Pink Floyd after hearing Syd Barrett for so long. Just way different. But you kids go have your fun ...
	5:19pm P-90: Most people have no idea what Fentanyl is, how extremely dangerous it is, how often it is substituted for or added to street drugs. It is NOT just another painkiller.
	5:19pm Jenny: dancesafe.org
	♥ 5:20pm chris in the redwoods: i've seen narcan save a person's life. it should be available everywhere for free.
	♥ 5:20pm Bimbus Bambus: @Carmichael isn't Peter Green actually on that particular song Sheila played though?
	5:21pm P-90: “liable” shmiable
	♥ 5:22pm Mark Hurst: from yesterday's NYT: "Fentanyl Tainted Pills Bought on Social Media Cause Youth Drug Deaths to Soar" - naming Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok, and others: www.nytimes.com...
	5:22pm mike s.: stay off them drugs, kids...
	5:22pm Nick: As a firefighter who has "narcaned" young OD victims in Bushwick and Ridgewood, I can only say there are no "safe" recreational drugs. Enjoy the concert or show sober
	♥ 5:23pm G: @P-90. Yup. People claim proggy traits for (e.g.) Radiohead, etc etc etc. But there are still straight-up self-identifying prog bands, in a series of impulses since the 80s. And there are also prog subgenres: prog metal etc. etc.
	♥ 5:23pm Carmichael: @Bimbus, yes he plays very briefly at the end. There is a bonus version where he plays a little more throughout. Only 1 of 2 times he guested after leaving the band and some of his mind.
	5:23pm Miss G: This beautiful song and all your prog talk makes me want to say "Canterbury" could that be right at all? for an. . .allusion (is that the word?) I used to hear so many stories of those bands
	5:24pm djsheilab: Mark Hurst—That's the piece I read, amongst others. Maddening! Although as much as one can point fingers at the social media companies, this really is a result of the drug war and lack of government oversight.
	5:24pm Jazz Upholsterer: a good friend of mine just lost his brother to fentanyl laced percasets here in California, why is it being put in perscription named drugs? i thought it was just being put in the crank, dope and coke...this is even more concerning. thanks for mentioning it ms. B. this is just the second time i've heard of it cut with percs now..
	5:25pm Jocelyn: One of the private carriers I work for has begun keeping the fentanyl testing strips on board all aircraft along with narcan. We’ve been carrying narcan for a few years and I’ve had to use it a few times. What was scary in each circumstance is they thought their financial and social status would prevent them from getting “bad” pills. Nope
	♥ 5:25pm G: @Miss G: Yep, Canterbury was a whole early prog scene in the 70s, and has branched out in various ways over the decades.
	5:25pm djsheilab: Nick—Oh how awful. But sadly kids are going to do drugs. It's part of being human. And this fentanyl issue is very recent.
	♥ 5:26pm Carmichael: Canterbury! Wilde Flowers, Soft Machine, Caravan, Hatfield & The North, Fred Frith, National Health ...
	5:26pm Miss G: Look - there are a lot of counterfeit drugs that you get at the CVS. Once I got a prescription for a popular sleeping medicine and I swear that they were just talc tablets. Luckily, this was before fentanyl.
	5:27pm djsheilab: Jazz Upholsterer—It's being mixed with everything these days. I'm so sorry for your friend.
	5:28pm Miss G: Carmichael, Hatfield & The North, yes, that sounds familar! Nice memories (although, it's really "nice lack of memories" I guess I could say)
	♥ 5:28pm Patrick S.: What a terrific show today.
	5:29pm Jazz Upholsterer: keep using your powers for good. Thanks
	5:29pm Don F.: Operative word - 'non lethal'. Hope that's what you were after.
	5:30pm djsheilab: Jocelyn—All companies should do the same—equip themselves with the fentanyl strips + narcan. Thanks for sharing.
	5:30pm djsheilab: Thank you Patrick S.!
	♥ 5:31pm chris in the redwoods: bottom line: if you or someone you know uses narcotics, for any reason, have narcan/naloxone on hand. and don't use/take alone.
	♥ 5:31pm Gaylord Fields: Kendra Spottswood & Van McCoy!!! <3 Sheila, we need to do a Van special one day!
	5:32pm djsheilab: Gaylord Fields—A Van special. Would love that! SO MANY glorious records.
	5:32pm djsheilab: Don F.—Yes!
	♥ 5:32pm G: Playlist on this show is always good for a Friday afternoon calm-down/wind-down mood.
	♥ 5:32pm Gaylord Fields: Yes, then we shall do it, Sheila!
	5:32pm djsheilab: Thanks G!
	5:33pm Miss G: I guess I will have a nice night of Soft Machine tonight. _So many stories_ about Soft machine LOL
	♥ 5:34pm LCBD: I’m loving the show, SheilaB!
	5:34pm Jocelyn: I feel like they should be as common as hand sanitizer or mace because you never know. Also we as a society need to understand it’s not about drugs. It’s trauma, pain, fear. But that’s a much larger conversation.
	♥ 5:34pm Dano59: really nice to hear Martha + the Muffins and The Sundays in the mix today. I missed a few (Stockard Channing!) between painting out back and coming in to wash up; Fridays are for decompressing even while retired
	5:35pm mike s.: let's keep it about music... not drugs
	5:35pm Don F.: Betty Carter doin a Inkspots? Nice.
	5:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: The Beb and Jerry's non dairy peanut butter and cookies is top.
	♥ 5:36pm Dano59: Jocelyn - right. A more equitable society would obviate the need for drugs. And mike s.? ... drugs come right BEFORE rock'n'roll
	♥ 5:36pm jamesegio: Only users lose drugs.
	♥ 5:37pm pgalub: Hey Sheila and everyone! Lovely show!
	♥ 5:37pm Handy Haversack: Pete!
	5:37pm Jocelyn: Oddly enough yes! Weird story, I needed hair serum so I picked up my regular brand at a drugstore. It reeked of alcohol like hand sanitizer, had the gel texture and was so gross. Maybe they reformulated? No. It turns out the Paul Mitchell hair serum I bought at the popular drugstore chain WAS hand sanitizer put in Paul Mitchell bottles. The drugstore chain bought it from a 3rd party not the brand them self. So you never know what you’re getting.
	5:38pm djsheilab: Thanks LCBD!Hey Dano59! mike s.—I think it's important to talk about drugs, especially given the dire situation with fentanyl. Humans have used drugs since the beginning. That's never going to go away.
	5:38pm Miss G: Was just reading recently Queen of Bebop: The Musical Lives of Sarah Vaughan by Elaine M. Hayes, was so interesting. I'll have to take that out again from the library
	♥ 5:39pm pgalub: Hey Handy!
	5:39pm djsheilab: Hey Pete G.!
	♥ 5:39pm jamesegio: This music goes well with our cocktails:. Blueberry lemon daiquiris.
	5:39pm djsheilab: jamesegio—Delish!
	♥ 5:40pm chris in the redwoods: thanks for the music and the awareness raising, Sheila! and thanks everyone for chiming in and sharing. <3 <3 <3
	5:40pm ledzeppelinsucks: I was at a Nomeansno show in Tacoma and I kicked something. I picked it up and it was a fat prescription bottle with no label. I opened it after the show and it was a dealers inventory of meth. 30 or 40 packets in grams and fractions. I threw it onto an awning of a hotel.
	♥ 5:41pm steveo: Amazing picks, Sheila, so great to hear your show. Also thanks for addressing the Fentanyl problem. More awareness is always good.
	♥ 5:42pm G: The Boswells, from right here where I am in Uptown New Orleans...
	♥ 5:43pm LCBD: Right on steveo! Thanks SheilaB - no such thing as being too careful when it comes to drugs!
	5:46pm Miss G: oh yes and thank you re: newsletter thank you for that song Vangelis with Stina Nordenstam "Ask the Mountains" (1995) -- haunting and so beautiful.
	5:47pm djsheilab: Miss G—I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
	♥ 5:47pm Bimbus Bambus: Cher turns 76 today! :o
	♥ 5:47pm Monica: thx for a lovely programme, sheila:)
	♥ 5:47pm dreamyandseedy: YES!!! ojerime always delivers!! seems like she's not putting all her songs on bandcamp anymore though
	5:48pm djsheilab: Thanks for checkin' in Monica! Xoxo
	♥ 5:49pm dreamyandseedy: but if that means she's getting a record deal then it's ok, she deserves more money behind her
	5:49pm katharsis: Just lovely thanks dj Sheila and all
	5:50pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Yeah, I don't know why she's no longer on Bandcamp.
	♥ 5:52pm tim from washington: Thanks for the great show today, Sheila! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. There are no easy answers but open communication and discussion helps. I've been sober 8 years. (Alcohol was my problem). I have great empathy for those in pain and use to deal with the pain. Keep the discussion going. Thanks again for your music and insights and insights about music too! We love you!
	♥ 5:53pm dreamyandseedy: HERE WE GOOOOOOO sheila: you are gonna have such fun tonight, i have never been so excited for someone in my entire life!!!!!! it is such an overused phrase but Amber really IS in her own lane, and NO ONE can touch her at this time. and to top it all off, she seems like a genuinely good, smart, self-aware person who isn't letting her fame or any industry person influence her
	5:54pm mcdnyc: Excited to see Amber Mark this week too~~
	5:54pm thin slice: Never heard this before. It’s fantastic!
	♥ 5:56pm jamesegio: Luv that amber tune. Enjoy!!
	5:56pm P-90: Join us next week when we discuss how the Beatles became one of the first big Prog bands, and what it meant for other Prog bands…
	5:56pm ledzeppelinsucks: Thanks for the show.
	5:57pm mcdnyc: Back to back Amber Mark! Swoon! Great show as usual...
	♥ 5:57pm Geoffrey in Ottawa: Enjoy your Amber Mark weekend!
	5:58pm Clo: Thank you Sheila for the amazing show as always. As well as using your platform to bring awareness. Have a great weekend. <3
	♥ 5:58pm Vanessa Tara: thank you, sheila!!!

	♥ 6:10pm Handy Haversack: Got distracted -- thanks, Sheila!
	8:18am Ray from Clifton: Sheila, got a great female fronted prog metal band for ya. Oceans of Slumber. Highly suggest their song “To The Sea (A Tolling of the Bells.)” I was also at Genesis on December!!
