![]() |
![]() hey everybody |
![]() |
![]() hi, Sheila... i can tell you're going to make me cry with your selections today... this track was written by Prince, if i've read that correctly... |
![]() |
![]() That tomato-bisque playlist can mean only one thing: Friday! Friday! (with Sheila B) |
![]() |
![]() Hey all. Yes, this track was written by Prince. Such a weird day/ time. Can't get my head around anything at the moment. But it won't be all sad, I promise. |

Hi SheBoom. Didnt Sinead and Prince get into a dust up over this song? | |

![]() This one's a weeper. |
![]() |
![]() <3 |
![]() |
![]() oh god </3 |
![]() |
![]() Oh, man. Y'all gonna make me cry at work. Cant... hold... back... the deluge... |
![]() |
![]() @Brendan Yup, Prince was furious that she did this one. |
![]() |
![]() Chatting with other WFMUoids yesterday when the news broke helped me a lot. Man, this year... |
![]() |
![]() Gutpunch of a video. Had any video thru that point consisted of just a full-on headshot for the entire vid? Intimate as all hell & the tear is just devastating. |

![]() hi sheila and boomboomers. |
![]() |
![]() Everything in the studio is breaking! Hence some dead air. Think it's now sorted. Whew! |
![]() |
![]() Yes! Love me some Massive Attack! Got a rough afternoon ahead of me, Sheila. I'm looking to you to pull me through it, and you're off to a great start. |
![]() |
![]() You might need temper this emotional high wire you're on. I don't wanna bawl at work. |

![]() Music is our sanctuary. |
![]() |
![]() Whoa now, this Wilsen track. |
![]() |
![]() sounding great Sheila! |
![]() |
![]() @drewo Absolutely. |
![]() |
![]() We're so late! Sorry @Sheila, but we're here now |
![]() |
![]() Back for the supersexysolidgroove show Shelia does but with a heavvvvy heart. |
![]() |
![]() In an attempt to take everyone's minds off the collective grief we are feeling, I have to say if you have a chance to see Lush on their reunion tour go do it. I saw them on what ended up being the US kickoff Wednesday and they were amazing. |
![]() |
![]() @Leonardo I am touched by your description! We are headed in that direction, but wanting songs that hit that soft spot at the mo. |
![]() |

![]() This Naomi Chiaki track is super groovy. I feel like I'm a soldier on leave overseas. |

Linda Lee:
everyone! SheilaB! f*ck of a day isn't it. ~ i was just considering the great way Prince encouraged & celebrated good female musicians ~ at a time when it wasn't quite the thing. ~ can't be overstated & it's something to remember & treasure. | |
![]() |
![]() Now I feel like I'm 6 years old and I'm listening through the wall of my sister's room. |
![]() |
![]() I grew up with a couple of Mendes/Brasil records in the house, so always happy to hear one I haven't yet. |

Sheila,this show is already so beautiful and sweet. |

KP:
Yay | |
![]() |
![]() The proof is in the pudding: Sinead killed this song, without his help. So there. |
![]() |
![]() My money's on O'Connor over Prince in a fistfight, TBH. |

George from Brooklyn:
can't wait for the Go go special | |
![]() |
![]() honestly i had always assumed Prince had written that song for Sinead, a la "Manic Monday". i much prefer her version, at any rate |
Fri. 4/22/16 3:35pm
Linda Lee:
~ if anyone on radio can lift the spirits, it's SheilaB! ~ | |
![]() |
![]() Yep Linda. |
![]() |
![]() @tomasz I read today that he'd written it for The Family, one of his side projects/bands. |
![]() |
![]() I think Sophisticated Boom Boom may be the key to getting my wife to give WFMU a try. I bet she'd love this show. |
![]() |
![]() I thought it was just a simple admin error, after he wrote it for Des O'Connor. |
![]() |
![]() ~ deeply love the Izumi Yukimara track! ~ truly brilliant |
![]() |
![]() @JP from KC SBB as the gateway drug to Ken's show? |
![]() |
![]() I don't know about that, Adrian. Although I bet she'd pick Ken's show over one of my Cubs broadcasts, any day. |
![]() |
![]() Start her off with the Bohemian Rhapsody episode |
![]() |
![]() @JP Maybe move on to Gaylord then Trouble? |
![]() |
![]() @Cliff: I want her to listen to WFMU, not divorce me! |

![]() sweet! |
![]() |
![]() @Adrian: Now that you mention it, that's not a bad idea... She just doesn't seem to have as wide of a musical palate as I do, or as much zeal for discovery. |
![]() |
![]() Sheila B, you are kinda sorta my best friend! |
Fri. 4/22/16 3:55pm

Fri. 4/22/16 4:01pm
Cooh John:
Hi Pat Radio. Nice to see another listener from Cbus on the comment board. | |
![]() |
![]() @Adrian: You're probably right. She has her own interests, and she likes what she likes. Nothing wrong with that. I just like to expand her horizons a bit, as she does mine. |
![]() |
![]() That doesn't sound like much of a punishment.... |
![]() |
![]() I think this concept sounds AMAZING. Looking forward to it! |

![]() This John's Children song had another title in another demo. What? It is a single? |
![]() |
![]() Groovin' At The Go Go! Nice one! |
![]() |
![]() Being thrown into a sea of nymphomaniacs!!! Oh, please don't throw me in the briar patch! |
![]() |
![]() PS I think you've got yourself a pretty good concept for a song there, Sheila... |

Thanks man! The other two were made during a really intense thunderstorm in the desert, so they're not a depiction but a real time response. Thunderstorms are music too. |

Bat Man at the disco. |
![]() |
![]() @geezerette: I think you could make a case for them being both a real time response, AND a depiction. Then again, I wasn't there, so the observation is just based on my own perception. What was the medium, if you don't mind me asking? |
![]() |
![]() YES!!! bringing back fond memories of Wildgirl's Go-Go Rama extravaganzas! :) |

![]() |
![]() I'll second Todd's motion! |
![]() |
![]() I tjust hought "Oh, this sounds like Fleetwood Mac so it must be from the Niki and the Dove album"! |
![]() |
![]() @Adrian - totally. I was like "Is this a cover of Gypsy"? |
![]() |
![]() Wow, this isn't Stevie Nicks, I'm confounded |
![]() |
![]() The Niki album's good mind. |

![]() Ah, conveniently enough my work is for once done at 5 on the dot. Now to enjoy the last hour sans that beastly book I've been whacking away at! |
![]() |
![]() The Around the World in a Day album was released April 22, 1985 (31 years ago today). The 12" single of "America" from that album runs 21:46 for the reason is that's how much tape was in the recording device. Dash it all if I could remember what else he talked about. Will state an opinion that "When You Were Mine" is a very fine song from Prince. |
![]() |
![]() Confounded, yes, in a good way. |

Love the Laura Nyro! Thanks Sheila! | |

I was thinking about selling that Laura Nyro record; that song reminded me that I shouldn't. | |
![]() |
![]() ..chommpin' his ciggah... |
![]() |
![]() what lovely music SheilaB. ~ thank you |
![]() |
![]() Trying to track down that Niki & The Dove album....it's only out in digital format it seems? I can't buy it as a CD or a rekkid? |
![]() |
![]() (...actually Geffen was all into Nyro...) |
![]() |
![]() Selling Laura Nyro records? What kind of madness is this? |
![]() |
![]() YYYEEESSSSS!!!!! Been waiting for someone to play this one |
![]() |
![]() I only learned that Nicks/Prince connection last night and it BLEW MY MIND. |
Fri. 4/22/16 5:16pm
JasonInBoston:
"Stand Back" was a massive Larry Levan spin at Paradise Garage believe it or not! | |
![]() |
![]() Ooh, is this Niki and the Dove? ;-) |
![]() |
![]() You see, their voices are nothing like each other, are they? |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, this is back when they were known as Stevie & The Revolution |
![]() |
![]() @ listener james -- same here! (Clay's show, right?) now i love this song even more! |
![]() |
![]() That's where I first found out about it too! |
![]() |
![]() @Cliff The other Niki/Dove albums have come out on vinyl so presumably this new one will after its initial digi push |
![]() |
![]() It all sounds the same. - Anon Heckler It's all one song. - Neil Young |
![]() |
![]() Thanks for the info Adrian. I just get sketched out buying MP3 albums, if I don't have a physical object to hold it doesn't feel "real" to me, heh |

Fri. 4/22/16 5:23pm
geezerette:
Nice groove! |
![]() |
![]() BTW, I was the inarticulate caller from Kansas City in the last two minutes of last night's Dusty Show. Wish I could've been more eloquent, but to be honest, I was mostly just surprised it rang through, and that he picked up. |
![]() |
![]() you called, JP. *that's* what counts. good on ya! |
![]() |
![]() This instrumental got used in a Mad Men, IIRC. Peggy was venting to Stan. |
![]() |
![]() @Cliff I just scooped up four RSD things yesterday so I understand. |
![]() |
![]() @lj, i'm old enough to remember when this was all over the radio |
![]() |
![]() @Cliff I hear ya! I think they had some problems getting this new record out on time. But there definitely will be CD + LPs. Maybe check their Facebook? |
![]() |
Fri. 4/22/16 5:25pm
geezerette:
Ack! er... Bilk! Cool, yet corny! :) |
![]() |
![]() @ JP -- what chris said! |
![]() |
![]() Acker Bilk! Ivor Cutler! Bloom County!...I'm just free associating... Time for moderate drinking in polite company... |
![]() |
![]() Will do Sheila B.! |
![]() |
![]() ILY Sheila! |
![]() |
![]() I appreciate the support! I guess I got nervous. |
![]() |
![]() I called into SUW once and just rambled about the pronunciation of the word "grocery" until Frangry hung up on me. I also called into Do It For Me and annoyed Pseu Braun (I really wanted to call into 7SD but didn't make it in time). So don't worry about JPKC, you're definitely not the worst caller ever ;) |
![]() |
![]() Well, that's a relief. I was disappointed in myself, though. I talk for a living. Then again, I'm usually on the other side of those calls, which is a much easier position to be in. |

Martin:
You're awesome, Sheila. | |
![]() |
![]() I think you did pretty well, Swan. Clay didn't get the joke that we were calling from opposite sides of Missouri. |

Sheila baby this show has been KILLER. I love going to shows alone. It gets easier. It's a very chic thing though. Solo and fabulous. I'm shocked about Porches. I thought they were new new. See you next weekend I hope?? | |
![]() |
![]() Technically I was calling from Kansas, so with Clay being from Iowa, we had the whole damn tri-state area represented! |

![]() |
![]() Great show today Sheila! |

![]() @hendrix wolfbat Fun + frightening! But you're absolutely right. Wonderful things happen when you put yourself out there like that. |
![]() |
![]() Lovin' the single of the week Sheila! |
![]() |
![]() Go to Fond Object in Nashville. Coco from The Ettes is one of the owners. There's a great sandwich place across the street, too. Grimey's is worth a visit. If you have time drop by Ernest Tubb Record Shop and/or Third Man Records just because. |

![]() |
![]() Cool. I'll have to dig this Glamorous LP out and play it again. |

![]() I'm pretty sure Nashville has a boot orchard right outside of town. Everywhere you go it's buy 1 pair get 2 pairs free. |
