	3:08pm djsheilab: Hello lovely listeners! Yes, today we pay tribute to the Queen, and as GingerbearMan states above it will be an appropriate number of tracks, not the whole. And I wanted to start off with her fast n' feisty songs!
	3:08pm P-90: Greetings DJ Sheila B !
	3:09pm Rob Kopp: Today I've been listening for the first time to the very first recordings by Aretha Franklin. They were records by Joe Van Battle for his J-V-P label. Here's a nice article about it. marshamusic.wordpress.com...

	3:10pm djsheilab: D. Lightfoot—YES!
	3:10pm D. Lightfoot: Never Loved a Man is my fave. Almost all of her "diva era" stuff falls flat for me.

	3:11pm Adrian in London: In case anyone missed it, Richard Williams wrote a lovely obituary in The Guardian yesterday https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/aug/16/aretha-franklin-obituary?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

	3:22pm mmoore: XO M
	♥ 3:23pm Z is for Zookeeper: Hey all-- never post in here because I'm usually too busy. I can't get any version of the livestream/popup to work. Tried reopening Chrome, restarting the whole computer, everything. Usually I refresh or restart once and it's fine. Is this a recurring problem for anyone else?
	♥ 3:24pm northguineahills: I have trouble occasionally w/ all browsers, but it's been a while for me, Zed, our zoological guide...
	3:24pm Adrian in London: Also, I just saw that Aretha’s 1968 Amsterdam concert is running on the ARTE app Aretha Franklinhttps://www.arte.tv/en/videos/045283-000-A/aretha-franklin ARTE is a French/German arts TV channel, whic( is sort of like BBC4 in the UK but better
	3:28pm IamBasil: Hi SheilaB hey everyone hope all is well with everyone,
	♥ 3:28pm Michael 98145: what a great site, @Adrian
	♥ 3:30pm Michael 98145: @Z, being old school, i use WINAMP for streaming ... seldom a problem.
	3:30pm D. Lightfoot: it me
	3:30pm Russt44: Try a Little Tenderness is beautiful beyond belief
	3:30pm michael z: Hello Sheila. It’s a great show.
	3:31pm D. Lightfoot: her chorus in this just cuts me
	♥ 3:31pm Michael 98145: wish i had this 45
	3:31pm D. Lightfoot: I'd leave you if I could...
	3:32pm D. Lightfoot: goddamn!
	♥ 3:32pm RomanDogBird: hel-lo, enjoying the show
	3:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rather an Anthem w/ Lesbians, I am told...
	3:32pm Russt44: Spooner Oldham playing the wurlitzer piano that opens this amazing record.
	3:32pm Adrian in London: @Michael 98145 ARTE? Yeah. If you use a VPN you can stream the general output but for a round-up the site is very good. they stream loads of good music too: they’ve had live shows by Tindersticks, My Brightest Diamond and Dominique A, for example
	♥ 3:32pm Z is for Zookeeper: My computer has issues having anything installed, but thanks! The problem was PEBKAC, I'm so tired I forgot the damn computer was muted by a coworker like 20 minutes ago T_T
	♥ 3:32pm fred: @Adrian: ARTE sometimes displays very poor choice in its footage: they once showed me (not the featured artist, they're not that bad, but at a show with sparse attendance)
	3:33pm Linda Lee: oh Sheila B my dear girl! this is the album :-)
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as a friend observed: she didn't have to run 30feet & leap in the air - just opened her mouth. & - It Happened.
	3:33pm battleaxe: 33 min. late to the Boom Boom but here nonetheless!!
	♥ 3:33pm Michael 98145: Sad, "Her sister Carolyn died in 1988, followed by her brother Cecil the following year."
	3:34pm Linda Lee: absolutely amazing any time ..
	3:35pm Mike tp: great track no no...always love Aretha...nice choice...
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...before she 'found herself' in Memphis w/ the Stax boys ?...or found the giant market, maybe...
	3:36pm Linda Lee: confess i do love her on piano with small combo rather than strings.. but she handles it all.
	3:36pm The Contessa: @ Sheila, (No, No) Yes, yes! Magnifcent track!
	3:37pm djsheilab: The Contessa—So wonderfully dramatic, right?!
	♥ 3:38pm howard in nyc: A while back, I had given my at the time girlfriends father a christmas gift, a compilation from Aretha's Columbia years. He was polite, but a bit chagrined because it didn't have any of her well-known Atlantic hits. A couple of weeks later I saw him, he thanked me profusely, after a couple of listens he thought it was one of the best records he ever heard.
	3:38pm djsheilab: Welcome Russt44!
	3:38pm djsheilab: Thank you michael z. :)
	3:39pm Russt44: Great show
	3:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @LindaL: Like when she stood in for Pavarotti? Was that UnrealityTV?? Did I imagine that?? Cause...that's not possible...right?...
	3:40pm Linda Lee: she did. a grande dame gesture.
	3:40pm djsheilab: howard in nyc—Love that story! People really tend to dismiss her Columbia years but there are SO many gems!
	♥ 3:41pm fred: @RevRab: I heard about that too. I wouldn't trust myself though
	3:41pm Linda Lee: yesterday was tearful, but no sorrow today. we still have her very best.
	♥ 3:41pm jake6573: Hello room

	♥ 3:43pm Michael 98145: " ... she won 18 Grammys (and sang Puccini’s Nessun Dorma in place of an indisposed Luciano Pavarotti at the awards’ 40th anniversary ceremony)"
	3:43pm Linda Lee: the Nessun Dorma performance is all over youtube now.
	3:45pm mb: It's Friday! Confirmed. Sheila B is on the radio. Hello Sophisticated peoples

	3:46pm djsheilab: Michael 98145—You say the sweetest things! Thanks!
	3:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we are family...
	♥ 3:46pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and boomers. @russt, if you haven't yet, see the Muscle Shoals doc. Oldham plays a central role, and has a chilling piano bit.
	3:47pm D. Lightfoot: Jenn Champion looks like the woman who broke my heart and threw the pieces off the Crescent City Connection.
	3:48pm lpcoverlover: Hi Shela! Loving the show! Roll on!
	3:48pm michael z: This Hibo Nuura track is fabulous.
	♥ 3:49pm fred: Is that from Sweet as broken dates?

	♥ 4:07pm Michael 98145: autopsy of our love affair
	4:07pm Rob Kopp: @Soleil: I have to wait 2 hours for midnight
	♥ 4:07pm howard in nyc: I don't speak Portuguese, but google translate gives it roughly as 'autospy of our love'
	♥ 4:08pm Michael 98145: caso == case
	4:08pm Linda Lee: thank you!
	♥ 4:08pm howard in nyc: oops, sorry Michael you got it.

	♥ 4:09pm Michael 98145: i love the sound of portuguese
	♥ 4:09pm Michael 98145: i hate the sound of my trying to speak it
	♥ 4:14pm fred: Didn't Dust-To-Digital get a Grammy? If so, it saves them. If not, they're full of shit because D2D is my fave label
	4:14pm Adrian in London: To mark Madonna’s 60th birthday, here’s a story from this week’s PopBit h mail out: Under material girls C writes: "Some years ago I had a summer job working admissions at Longleat Safari Park. One day, this massive 4x4 pulls up and asks for two adult tickets. It's Madonna and Guy Ritchie. "As starstruck me takes their money, the car slowly rolls past and I see two kids emerge from under a blanket on the back seat. I can only assume they didn't want the quite generously discounted family ticket."
	4:14pm djsheilab: fred—Ostinato got nominated for Grammy. They didn't win.
	♥ 4:15pm northguineahills: Portuguese always trips me up, since it's so similar to Spanish, yet so different.
	4:15pm djsheilab: Adrian In London—I completely forgot about Madonna's 60th. Damn!
	♥ 4:16pm Michael 98145: @ngh, and some ties to French, in an odd sort of way
	♥ 4:17pm fred: @Sheila: How could you of all people forget Madonna?
	♥ 4:17pm karlward: That was lovely.
	4:17pm The Contessa: @Sheila! How could you have missed it?? She's been everywhere here!
	♥ 4:17pm Bend Sinister: Ah! My favorite Aretha song
	4:17pm djsheilab: fred—Cos of Aretha :(
	♥ 4:18pm karlward: Wait, no Miho Hatori?
	4:18pm djsheilab: Bend Sinister—YAYAYAYAY!!!!
	♥ 4:18pm northguineahills: @Michael: B/c to do anything to differentiate themselves from Spain, geopolitically and culturally (see Portuguese alliances w/ the English....
	4:18pm Adrian in London: @djsheilab Ray of Light please
	4:19pm djsheilab: Adrian In London—That's the one album I don't like! Haha!
	♥ 4:19pm Michael 98145: oh. i don't think i have ever heard this before now.
	♥ 4:19pm karlward: (This was sampled on Handsome Boy Modeling School's "Metaphysical" with Miho and Mike D)
	4:19pm The Contessa: @Sheila, why didn't she always sing like this?? So dreamy!
	♥ 4:20pm Michael 98145: wow. ♫
	4:20pm djsheilab: The Contessa—I prefer when she doesn't let it rip too.
	4:21pm Linda Lee: that's called versatile.
	4:21pm The Contessa: Oh, same here @Sheila
	♥ 4:21pm listener james from westwood: I love it when the sources of samples get their chance to be heard in full!
	4:22pm Linda Lee: gospel tradition, you let it rip! :-D
	4:22pm djsheilab: I've never heard that Miho Hatori song. Must check it out!
	♥ 4:23pm Tommy in Neversink: Really beautiful
	♥ 4:23pm frozen_peas: I'm on the verge of tears with these songs today! In a good way, of course.
	4:24pm Linda Lee: hey there Tommy!
	4:24pm Rob Kopp: I'm afraid I have to admit I have NOTHING by Madonna, but last week during the monthly meeting of Platenclub Utrecht, a song of Ray Of Light was played. I liked it a lot, so I asked: who is this?
	♥ 4:25pm fred: Ray of Gob is a pretty good mashup
	4:26pm Linda Lee: actually wouldn't complain about more instrumentals by female composers & musicians. jes sayin :-)
	♥ 4:27pm Tommy in Neversink: Leon Russel !
	4:27pm djsheilab: These lyrics KILL me.
	♥ 4:28pm karlward: djsheilab: "Metaphysical" at youtu.be...
	♥ 4:28pm Carmichael: Leon will do that to you, Sheila. He also wrote Wild Horses and This Masquerade.
	4:28pm Linda Lee: always love electric piano. just love the tone
	♥ 4:28pm karlward: I love Hathaway, I've never heard this. It's so good.
	4:29pm Mister Eddie: Love ya Aretha, but you should of left this one alone
	4:29pm djsheilab: Linda Lee—Me too!
	4:29pm Linda Lee: @Carmichael ~ what Wild Horses?
	♥ 4:29pm Tommy in Neversink: If I had Aretha cover a one of my songs . I'd feel like I had accomplished everything there is to accomplish in life
	♥ 4:30pm karlward: Oh wow I always thought "A Song for You" was a Hathaway original.
	♥ 4:30pm Carmichael: The Rolling Stones have the successful version, LL.
	♥ 4:30pm Tommy in Neversink: LL..I was just playing the electric piano
	4:31pm Mister Eddie: Should of left this one alone
	4:31pm Russt44: A Song For You..so beautiful
	4:31pm Linda Lee: dear that wasn't Leon Russell.
	4:31pm Linda Lee: damn! can't hear you from here Tommy!
	4:31pm Rob Kopp: Well, you can't like everything, can you? I think the 7 members of Platenclub Utrecht know a lot about music, so we went to a monthly pop quiz one day. Every month they have another artist in the spotlight. Unfortunately for us it was Coldplay that evening. We finished last. But with Madonna the same would have happened.
	♥ 4:31pm Tommy in Neversink: Leon wrote it
	4:32pm Russt44: Thank you...
	4:32pm Anita in Morristown: Thank you Sheilahb for the tender tribute to our Queen of soul. Sistah Aretha RIP Sis
	4:32pm Linda Lee: noooooo :-D
	♥ 4:33pm Tommy in Neversink: Gregg is one of my top five singers
	♥ 4:33pm Carmichael: That's Aretha herself on electric keys.
	♥ 4:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Here is the occasional man.
	♥ 4:33pm Michael 98145: WH : img.discogs.com...
	4:34pm Linda Lee: thank you Michael. :-D
	♥ 4:35pm Tommy in Neversink: I never get tired of Gregg
	♥ 4:36pm Carmichael: Wow, my mistake about WH. I assumed (wrongly) that Russell only sang his own music.
	4:36pm Adrian in London: @RobKopp Ha ha ha!
	4:36pm Linda Lee: 100% right, SheilaB! :-D
	♥ 4:36pm Michael 98145: ... or some folks just want to hear the same thing. over. and over.
	♥ 4:37pm listener james from westwood: DAMN RIGHT SHEILA! MUSIC >>>>> ANY MAN
	4:37pm The Contessa: @Sheila, a bit serious of him for 13!!
	♥ 4:38pm northguineahills: I broke up w/ a girl b/c she said she didn't like jazz.
	4:38pm Linda Lee: kids can be very dramatic.
	♥ 4:39pm Tommy in Neversink: I feel so fortunate to be able to appreciate all kinds of music. My mind is open to a wide verity of music ...hence my FMU fanaticism
	4:39pm Adrian in London: The sister of a friend, who became a born-again Christian, once criticised me by saying: “Music is your God!” Well… yeah!
	4:39pm Russt44: A Song For You written and originally recorded by Leon. Many great versions
	♥ 4:39pm Michael 98145: @Tommy, WFMU would have scared off the other folks a long time ago.
	♥ 4:40pm Tommy in Neversink: There's a song "He liked Everything but County"..and she broke up with him over that issue
	4:41pm Linda Lee: God & music aren't 2 opposing things, as far as i know. ah well. binary thinking. feh.
	♥ 4:41pm Tommy in Neversink: I don't understand people that like repetition. My former therapist said I don't understand why everyone doesn't think like me
	4:42pm Linda Lee: if your relationship can't sustain taste differences, best move on, really.
	♥ 4:43pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm not sure there is a god....I'm not sure there's not
	♥ 4:43pm northguineahills: Le Superhomard sounded like Rocketship on blow (That's a compliment).
	♥ 4:44pm Tommy in Neversink: Fortunately me wife isn't strongly opinionated about music to I dominate the music selections ...which means FMU most of the time
	4:44pm Adrian in London: I heart LeSuperHomard. Wish they’d play London
	♥ 4:45pm Tommy in Neversink: so ..not to
	♥ 4:45pm fred: There should be an autotune limit
	♥ 4:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope there are no commercials in the afterlife radio. Come to think of it, I hope there is WFMU in the afterlife.
	4:46pm Linda Lee: i tend to go with John Lennon: God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
	♥ 4:46pm Michael 98145: eclectic radio does not occupy a lot of real esate.
	♥ 4:47pm Tommy in Neversink: LL....I LOVE that album...my fav post Beatles album
	4:47pm Linda Lee: i love it too.
	♥ 4:47pm Tommy in Neversink: you know Ringo is on drums
	♥ 4:47pm northguineahills: I'm lucky, my wife's music tastes mirror my own, except she hates classic rock, and most techno and house....
	♥ 4:48pm fred: Yoko is my fave beatle
	4:48pm Rob Kopp: I'm diggin', don't want you by my side, me and my records all alone feels right I'm diggin', need to grow, have to push, flicking through vinyl and feeding the rush I dig for that one and I open the haunt, it's takin' all day from the back to the front I'm diggin' and diggin', you know, sorry baby, I'm gone diggin' (Kovacs, Diggin', www.youtube.com...)
	4:48pm Linda Lee: i didn't! that's great! :-) the night John was shot, a housemate of mine at the loft just played that record all night long .. and wept. it was terrible.
	♥ 4:48pm Tommy in Neversink: NG ..your wife's head's in the right place
	4:49pm JakeGould: Hey Sheila! Hey others!
	♥ 4:49pm northguineahills: (I've dj'ed classic rock nights [paid well], well at least what I considered classic rock)
	4:49pm Looms: Back to my teenage : this song introduced me to Aretha's work.
	♥ 4:50pm Tommy in Neversink: I had just more to NYC when he was shot..1980
	♥ 4:50pm Tommy in Neversink: Moved
	♥ 4:50pm Tommy in Neversink: Hay Jake
	4:52pm Linda Lee: got the news in the street, i recall.
	♥ 4:52pm Tommy in Neversink: Classic rock is great ....but it's run in the ground by radio stations who can't move on
	4:53pm Linda Lee: pauvre cloche .. poor hat? :-D
	♥ 4:53pm Michael 98145: :)
	♥ 4:54pm northguineahills: I can be quite passionate about techno and house (still dj it), so I can only play it when she isn't around (but she's in BK, and I"m in FL, so, not usually a problem.
	♥ 4:55pm fred: @Linda Lee: Cloche means Bell, but also means dumb
	♥ 4:55pm Kelly Jones: My favorite Aretha song is "I Never Loved a Man (the Way That I Love You)". I know you played it already Boom Boom, but you should close with it anyway.
	♥ 4:56pm Michael 98145: i used to annoy everyone with my jungle fixation.
	4:56pm Linda Lee: don't mind me, fred. i'm utterly unilingual. :-D thank you.
	4:57pm djsheilab: Haha! Not a bad idea Kelly Jones :)
	♥ 4:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: New & unfamiliar music is like vegetables. You need to try it to find out that it's good for you.
	4:58pm Linda Lee: i'm a sucker for "rock steady' every time. :-)
	♥ 4:59pm Michael 98145: "Parce que tu t'imagines être un bourreau des cœurs Parce que tu es victime d'une lamentable erreur Parce que je suis ta femme, que je porte ton nom Je dois te l'avouer, j' n'ai jamais su dire "Non" Pauvre cloche, pauvre cloche, pauvre cloche" Doesn't sound like a happy song... Because you think you're a heartbreaker Because you are the victim of a lamentable mistake Because I'm your wife, I'm wearing your name. I have to admit, I never knew how to say "no "
	5:00pm Linda Lee: cannot believe i have to go out to do road work. quel dommage! thank you so much for the music, SheilaB! you made my afternoon. :-)
	♥ 5:01pm Michael 98145: take care, @LL
	5:02pm Linda Lee: see you soon.
	♥ 5:02pm fred: @Michael98145: Yep. Not an happy song
	5:03pm Linda Lee: who's foolin who.
	♥ 5:03pm listener james from westwood: I always took it to mean "Who's bullshitting who?" when calling someone out.
	♥ 5:03pm Kevin-san: I always thought it meant fooling, bs'ing
	5:04pm Linda Lee: that's right.
	5:04pm chalmers: Aretha singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" as part of a Major League Baseball promo from the '90s. I love the fun she seems to be having with the Tiger players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL1WEaPSaGo
	♥ 5:04pm fred: More to the point, Who’s Zoomin’ Who?
	♥ 5:04pm Michael 98145: @LL, just three little words, Biki Muzi Polka :)
	5:04pm Adrian in London: Yes, we know Vancouver, what do you want to know? We know good bars
	5:05pm P-90: Vancouver is beautiful. It’s not quite like any US city.
	♥ 5:05pm jgrosch: Vancouver BC is awesome. The wife and I love Salt Spring Island. Tim Hortons is past it's prime

	♥ 5:11pm grtyvr: tumbs up to Rangoli
	♥ 5:12pm Matt Fiveash: Re: Who's Zoomin' Who- A friend of mine in Toronto who works at the CBC posted an interview with the producer Narada Michael Walden, who produced that album. From the synopsis page: Walden still remembers talking to Franklin on the phone for the first time, and how that conversation led them to come up with the title of her comeback album. "I ask her on the phone, 'So what do you do for fun?'" said Walden. "And she said, 'Well, maybe I go out to the nightclub at night. Maybe I see somebody in the corner who looks kind of nice. He looks at me, I look at him, it's like: who's zoomin' who?'" www.cbc.ca...
	5:13pm sispus: sheila, it's a sad, sad song.
	♥ 5:13pm grtyvr: i have not been to this place in a while, vinylrecords.ca...
	5:13pm Rob Kopp: Records I bought in Vancouver (Yes, record collectors know this of all their records!): Odetta - LP My Eyes Have Seen (with 2 Kinks originals) and on a flea market a single by Vader Abraham (Father Abraham) with an English and French version of Het Smurfenlied (the Smurf song and something with Schroumpf).
	5:14pm PERSONATOR from highland park: I always love your show on the occasion that I have to make the crawl across Staten Island Friday afternoon auto commute.This beautiful music makes the tedious task so much easier

	5:15pm Adrian in London: @Rob I had a cricketer Smurf toy when I was a kid, the only Smurf toy I ever owned
	♥ 5:16pm Michael 98145: @BC friends, is Granville Island worth a visit any more?
	5:16pm Adrian in London: Cricketer Smurf https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183298794493
	5:16pm The Contessa: @grtyvr, do you know Jay Jones?

	♥ 5:18pm common: happy Friday all!
	♥ 5:18pm Tommy in Neversink: 2 fawns
	5:19pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian: I hate Het Smurfenlied in Dutch (one of the worst records ever made in The Netherlands, and thus most popular over here!), but when I see a single with 2 foreign versions (probably only issued in Canada) I just have to buy it.
	♥ 5:19pm grtyvr: pictures of the deer!
	♥ 5:20pm Tommy in Neversink: That's really complicated ....and now they are gone
	♥ 5:20pm grtyvr: awwww

	♥ 5:22pm chris: yes, Granville island is worth a visit, the mrs. and i went last year planning to spend a few hours and we were there most of the day. :)
	♥ 5:22pm northguineahills: @Tommy: And I was amazed when a juvenile doe was chilling by my car at my office two weeks ago (I still feel like a Brooklynite, even though I left exactly last year).
	5:23pm Jocelyn: Whenever I go there, I end up spending most of the day. Everything from shopping to simply people watching.
	♥ 5:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: In Canada, there are coins called loonies & toonies, and C$5 and above, the bills are plastic. www.bankofcanada.ca... The current exchange rate is $1.00 US = C$1.31.
	♥ 5:24pm fred: @ngh: take care man, we need you around
	♥ 5:24pm grtyvr: just watch out for the gulls. They steal food!
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: @grtyvr: Juts clicked on one of your links and I bought my Odetta LP at Red Cat Records!

	5:29pm Jocelyn: Surprised by the amount of BC knowledge in here!
	5:29pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Hi everyone!
	5:30pm Jocelyn: Yes and the penny no longer exists in Canada. That was a shock after not going home for almost two decades.
	5:30pm Rob Kopp: 50's please?
	♥ 5:30pm grtyvr: @ken the bills can also be used for playing records....youtu.be...
	♥ 5:31pm fred: @ngh: I'm struggling with meds too, may you find balance soon
	5:31pm Jocelyn: Hi Early Morning!
	5:32pm Jocelyn: NGH, Wishing you the best! Hoping it goes your way.
	♥ 5:32pm grtyvr: @jocelyn we should get rid of nickels too
	5:33pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Hi Jocelyn!
	♥ 5:33pm northguineahills: My friend played for Sofia Coppala's canned champagne launch. I supported my friend, and hey, free booze and food, and Sophia!
	5:33pm Jocelyn: I like the Sofia cans. It comes in bottles too but there's something so kitschy about those pink cans with their little pink straws.
	♥ 5:33pm karlward: Hot fire!
	5:34pm Rob Kopp: Today I heard two versions of Aretha's gospel song "Never grow old" for the very first time: the a-side of her first single (1956) and the live version from her 1972 LP Amazing Grace (that lasts 15:27!)
	♥ 5:34pm Travisano66: I LOVE THIS RECORDING!!!
	♥ 5:34pm chris: coppola does a good job of making cheap wine that doesn't suck. also, the little cans of wine and sparkles -- hello! :)

	♥ 5:35pm Michael 98145: @grtyvr, that phonograph video is great :)

	5:35pm Mike tp: great curve is great
	5:36pm Rob Kopp: What a bass break!
	5:36pm Jocelyn: Fred, Sending you wishes for health and balance!
	♥ 5:36pm Michael 98145: we like Coppola's wine bar in SF ...
	♥ 5:37pm fred: I had to select an alternate swag today. Guess what, Mayuko's water bottle was available! I'm going to miss some shows, but it's so worth it
	♥ 5:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi Sheila and Boomers. Late for the show but I still get a half hour of happiness
	♥ 5:37pm Carmichael: This is clicky star worthy.
	♥ 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: @jocelyn @grtyvr - Visited Winnipeg a couple weeks ago and loved it. Went to the Museum for Human Rights. www.humanrights.ca
	5:38pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Ah, I think I've seen those little champagne cans here in Korea. Had no idea they were from Sofia Coppola!
	5:38pm Jocelyn: Ken, I love that museum. Emotional visit though!
	♥ 5:38pm northguineahills: Awww, fourth grade was the best grade as a kid!
	♥ 5:39pm chris: coppola's winery in alexander valley, sonoma county, is a trip... like what would happen if walt disney were a wino.
	♥ 5:42pm Michael 98145: .. "I'm Loving You Madly" :)
	♥ 5:42pm fred: @NGH: lucky you. school was not good memories for me
	5:43pm Adrian in London: Update on fizzy Sofia in a can: https://www.francisfordcoppolawinery.com/en/our-wines/sofia/mini it’s a mix of Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Muscat
	5:43pm P-90: @Sheila B: you'll want to keep an eye out for "spocked" Canadian 5 dollar bills, which have been altered with hand-applied art to change the image of former Canadian Prime Minister Laurier to that of Mr. Spock from Star Trek. Done by the hands of thousands of Canadians, no two are alike. There are many still in circulation, but they will gradually vanish as the bills are replaced with the new type. A collectible souvenir worth keeping.
	♥ 5:43pm grtyvr: have not been to Winnipeg for decades sadly. Never got to go to the new music festival while Tovey was there. One of the big misses of my life.
	♥ 5:44pm northguineahills: @fred: 5th grade-10th grade sucked. HS surprising wasn't too bad.
	♥ 5:45pm grtyvr: @P-90 I still have not run into one in the wild
	5:45pm Adrian in London: @grtyvr I LOVE Guy Maddin’s My Winnipeg
	♥ 5:45pm Michael 98145: @DJ Sheila, now you can bring our apologies to our Northern neighbors.
	5:45pm Patrick: Just came to say love Las Grecas. One of my fav dollar bin discoveries ever. Great to hear on the radio.
	5:46pm Rob Kopp: @Michale: best idea of the evening!
	♥ 5:46pm Phillippe Bastille: anyone ever hear "I Hate Winnipeg" by The Weakerthans?
	♥ 5:47pm grtyvr: @phillippe rings a bell, but can't say it stuck with me
	♥ 5:47pm northguineahills: This whole set from Angelique forward clicky-starred!
	5:48pm Rob Kopp: @Philippe: No. The only song I can find is One great city
	♥ 5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: The reverse side of the C$5 shows astronauts getting hurt: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	5:49pm wild bill: @patrick recently paid considerably more than a dollar for the Las Grecas lp rerelease :) Jealous of your dollar store find!
	5:49pm Jocelyn: All BeeGees are good!
	♥ 5:49pm fred: @NGH: Seriously, get that health issue under control. Like now. Don't delay, it's only getting worse
	♥ 5:50pm queems: hey guys
	♥ 5:50pm grtyvr: @ken Go Canadarm!
	♥ 5:50pm Phillippe Bastille: Had the wrong title, is One Great City. I hate Winnipeg is the chorus line youtu.be...

	5:56pm ncjay: really enjoyable show, Sheila. Thanks so much.

Tried reopening Chrome, restarting the whole computer, everything. Usually I refresh or restart once and it's fine. Is this a recurring problem for anyone else?

	3:32pm Adrian in London: @Michael 98145 ARTE? Yeah. If you use a VPN you can stream the general output but for a round-up the site is very good. they stream loads of good music too: they’ve had live shows by Tindersticks, My Brightest Diamond and Dominique A, for example
	♥ 3:32pm Z is for Zookeeper: My computer has issues having anything installed, but thanks! The problem was PEBKAC, I'm so tired I forgot the damn computer was muted by a coworker like 20 minutes ago T_T

	♥ 3:38pm howard in nyc: A while back, I had given my at the time girlfriends father a christmas gift, a compilation from Aretha's Columbia years. He was polite, but a bit chagrined because it didn't have any of her well-known Atlantic hits. A couple of weeks later I saw him, he thanked me profusely, after a couple of listens he thought it was one of the best records he ever heard.

	4:14pm Adrian in London: To mark Madonna’s 60th birthday, here’s a story from this week’s PopBit h mail out: Under material girls C writes: "Some years ago I had a summer job working admissions at Longleat Safari Park. One day, this massive 4x4 pulls up and asks for two adult tickets. It's Madonna and Guy Ritchie. "As starstruck me takes their money, the car slowly rolls past and I see two kids emerge from under a blanket on the back seat. I can only assume they didn't want the quite generously discounted family ticket."
	4:14pm djsheilab: fred—Ostinato got nominated for Grammy. They didn't win.
	♥ 4:15pm northguineahills: Portuguese always trips me up, since it's so similar to Spanish, yet so different.
	4:15pm djsheilab: Adrian In London—I completely forgot about Madonna's 60th. Damn!
	♥ 4:16pm Michael 98145: @ngh, and some ties to French, in an odd sort of way

	4:31pm Linda Lee: dear that wasn't Leon Russell.
	4:31pm Linda Lee: damn! can't hear you from here Tommy!
	4:31pm Rob Kopp: Well, you can't like everything, can you? I think the 7 members of Platenclub Utrecht know a lot about music, so we went to a monthly pop quiz one day. Every month they have another artist in the spotlight. Unfortunately for us it was Coldplay that evening. We finished last. But with Madonna the same would have happened.
	♥ 4:31pm Tommy in Neversink: Leon wrote it
	4:32pm Russt44: Thank you...

	4:41pm Linda Lee: God & music aren't 2 opposing things, as far as i know. ah well. binary thinking. feh.
	♥ 4:41pm Tommy in Neversink: I don't understand people that like repetition. My former therapist said I don't understand why everyone doesn't think like me
	4:42pm Linda Lee: if your relationship can't sustain taste differences, best move on, really.
	♥ 4:43pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm not sure there is a god....I'm not sure there's not
	♥ 4:43pm northguineahills: Le Superhomard sounded like Rocketship on blow (That's a compliment).
	♥ 4:44pm Tommy in Neversink: Fortunately me wife isn't strongly opinionated about music to I dominate the music selections ...which means FMU most of the time
	4:44pm Adrian in London: I heart LeSuperHomard. Wish they’d play London
	♥ 4:45pm Tommy in Neversink: so ..not to
	♥ 4:45pm fred: There should be an autotune limit
	♥ 4:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: I hope there are no commercials in the afterlife radio. Come to think of it, I hope there is WFMU in the afterlife.

Because you think you're a heartbreaker Because you are the victim of a lamentable mistake Because I'm your wife, I'm wearing your name. I have to admit, I never knew how to say "no "

	♥ 5:12pm Matt Fiveash: Re: Who's Zoomin' Who- A friend of mine in Toronto who works at the CBC posted an interview with the producer Narada Michael Walden, who produced that album. From the synopsis page: Walden still remembers talking to Franklin on the phone for the first time, and how that conversation led them to come up with the title of her comeback album. "I ask her on the phone, 'So what do you do for fun?'" said Walden. "And she said, 'Well, maybe I go out to the nightclub at night. Maybe I see somebody in the corner who looks kind of nice. He looks at me, I look at him, it's like: who's zoomin' who?'" www.cbc.ca...

	5:14pm PERSONATOR from highland park: I always love your show on the occasion that I have to make the crawl across Staten Island Friday afternoon auto commute.This beautiful music makes the tedious task so much easier

	5:18pm Jocelyn: Michael, Yes. It's worth it.

	♥ 5:18pm common: happy Friday all!
	♥ 5:18pm Tommy in Neversink: 2 fawns
	5:19pm Rob Kopp: @Adrian: I hate Het Smurfenlied in Dutch (one of the worst records ever made in The Netherlands, and thus most popular over here!), but when I see a single with 2 foreign versions (probably only issued in Canada) I just have to buy it.
	♥ 5:19pm grtyvr: pictures of the deer!
	♥ 5:20pm Tommy in Neversink: That's really complicated ....and now they are gone
	♥ 5:20pm grtyvr: awwww

	♥ 5:22pm northguineahills: @Tommy: And I was amazed when a juvenile doe was chilling by my car at my office two weeks ago (I still feel like a Brooklynite, even though I left exactly last year).
	5:23pm Jocelyn: Whenever I go there, I end up spending most of the day. Everything from shopping to simply people watching.
	♥ 5:24pm Ken From Hyde Park: In Canada, there are coins called loonies & toonies, and C$5 and above, the bills are plastic. www.bankofcanada.ca... The current exchange rate is $1.00 US = C$1.31.
	♥ 5:24pm fred: @ngh: take care man, we need you around
	♥ 5:24pm grtyvr: just watch out for the gulls. They steal food!
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: @grtyvr: Juts clicked on one of your links and I bought my Odetta LP at Red Cat Records!

	5:29pm Jocelyn: Surprised by the amount of BC knowledge in here!
	5:29pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Hi everyone!
	5:30pm Jocelyn: Yes and the penny no longer exists in Canada. That was a shock after not going home for almost two decades.

	♥ 5:32pm grtyvr: @jocelyn we should get rid of nickels too
	5:33pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Hi Jocelyn!
	♥ 5:33pm northguineahills: My friend played for Sofia Coppala's canned champagne launch. I supported my friend, and hey, free booze and food, and Sophia!
	5:33pm Jocelyn: I like the Sofia cans. It comes in bottles too but there's something so kitschy about those pink cans with their little pink straws.
	♥ 5:33pm karlward: Hot fire!
	5:34pm Rob Kopp: Today I heard two versions of Aretha's gospel song "Never grow old" for the very first time: the a-side of her first single (1956) and the live version from her 1972 LP Amazing Grace (that lasts 15:27!)
	♥ 5:34pm Travisano66: I LOVE THIS RECORDING!!!
	♥ 5:34pm chris: coppola does a good job of making cheap wine that doesn't suck. also, the little cans of wine and sparkles -- hello! :)

	♥ 5:35pm Michael 98145: @grtyvr, that phonograph video is great :)
	♥ 5:35pm Carmichael: My daughters inaugurated their 21st birthdays with those little spritzer cans.

	5:36pm Jocelyn: Fred, Sending you wishes for health and balance!
	♥ 5:36pm Michael 98145: we like Coppola's wine bar in SF ...
	♥ 5:37pm fred: I had to select an alternate swag today. Guess what, Mayuko's water bottle was available! I'm going to miss some shows, but it's so worth it
	♥ 5:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi Sheila and Boomers. Late for the show but I still get a half hour of happiness
	♥ 5:37pm Carmichael: This is clicky star worthy.
	♥ 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: @jocelyn @grtyvr - Visited Winnipeg a couple weeks ago and loved it. Went to the Museum for Human Rights. www.humanrights.ca
	5:38pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Ah, I think I've seen those little champagne cans here in Korea. Had no idea they were from Sofia Coppola!
	5:38pm Jocelyn: Ken, I love that museum. Emotional visit though!
	♥ 5:38pm northguineahills: Awww, fourth grade was the best grade as a kid!
	♥ 5:39pm chris: coppola's winery in alexander valley, sonoma county, is a trip... like what would happen if walt disney were a wino.
	♥ 5:42pm Michael 98145: .. "I'm Loving You Madly" :)
	♥ 5:42pm fred: @NGH: lucky you. school was not good memories for me
	5:43pm Adrian in London: Update on fizzy Sofia in a can: https://www.francisfordcoppolawinery.com/en/our-wines/sofia/mini it’s a mix of Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Muscat
	5:43pm P-90: @Sheila B: you'll want to keep an eye out for "spocked" Canadian 5 dollar bills, which have been altered with hand-applied art to change the image of former Canadian Prime Minister Laurier to that of Mr. Spock from Star Trek. Done by the hands of thousands of Canadians, no two are alike. There are many still in circulation, but they will gradually vanish as the bills are replaced with the new type. A collectible souvenir worth keeping.
	♥ 5:43pm grtyvr: have not been to Winnipeg for decades sadly. Never got to go to the new music festival while Tovey was there. One of the big misses of my life.
	♥ 5:44pm northguineahills: @fred: 5th grade-10th grade sucked. HS surprising wasn't too bad.

	5:46pm Rob Kopp: @Michale: best idea of the evening!
	♥ 5:46pm Phillippe Bastille: anyone ever hear "I Hate Winnipeg" by The Weakerthans?
	♥ 5:47pm grtyvr: @phillippe rings a bell, but can't say it stuck with me
	♥ 5:47pm northguineahills: This whole set from Angelique forward clicky-starred!
	5:48pm Rob Kopp: @Philippe: No. The only song I can find is One great city
	♥ 5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: The reverse side of the C$5 shows astronauts getting hurt: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	5:49pm wild bill: @patrick recently paid considerably more than a dollar for the Las Grecas lp rerelease :) Jealous of your dollar store find!
	5:49pm Jocelyn: All BeeGees are good!
	♥ 5:49pm fred: @NGH: Seriously, get that health issue under control. Like now. Don't delay, it's only getting worse
	♥ 5:50pm queems: hey guys
	♥ 5:50pm grtyvr: @ken Go Canadarm!
