	3:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna: hey, zpulpa, howdy JOhn! Hey there, Rick G, where you be in the Salish Sea? I am often nestled in the woods of Lopez Island, but today i am on top of a hill in San Francisco.
	3:16pm Jocelyn: John, Congratulations to your family!
	3:16pm Passaic River Blues: Gal!
	3:16pm zpulpa: oh gosh isnt spring time sweet!?!

	3:17pm John from Florham Park: @Joycelan thanks
	3:17pm djsheilab: Hey Passaic River Blues! Yes, I am loving her latest album.

	3:20pm slugluv1313: ooooooo Birdlegs and Pauline = shades of Billie Holiday -- ??!!
	3:20pm lp-cover-lover: i was just listening to birdlegs and Pauline last night! Never hear of them but so good! Love Numero Group finds. Yum!
	3:21pm P-90: “Find My Phone”: one of Mr. Steve Jobs’ (few) indisputably beneficial contributions to the human condition.
	3:21pm Rick G: @Granny Spicy: I’m in Port Orchard near the Bremerton Airport. Though I haven’t been to Lopez I love Orcas Island and love Lopez Island ice cream! Have a good weekend.
	3:23pm Cmurtha: Hello everyone, great start to this show!
	3:27pm djsheilab: Thanks Cmurtha!
	3:27pm michael z: What a glorious set. So relaxed and confident.
	3:27pm djsheilab: Merci Michael z :)
	3:28pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hello Sheila B! Hi gang!
	3:28pm John from Florham Park: Afternoon Buddha
	3:29pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi John from Florham Park! Isn't Sheila B. fantastic?
	3:29pm Buddha of Suburbia: Granny Spicy Tuna! Hello!
	3:30pm John from Florham Park: @P-90 it was with Steve, he was a real piece of work at times
	3:30pm John from Florham Park: @Buddha shelia is appointment radio on Friday
	3:31pm Phillippe Bastille: Boods!
	3:31pm Passaic River Blues: Half the fun of hearing Sheila play Japanese artists is the knowledge you’ll eventually hear her accurately and melodiously pronounce their names.
	3:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna: @Rick G. Thanks! I haven't spent much time in the Port Orchard area, but i am soon going to a family gathering nearby in Union, Washington.
	3:33pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Phillippe Bastille!
	3:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Hey, Buddha! So lovely to see you here today.
	3:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna: WFMU is my favorite clubhouse.
	3:35pm P-90: Dr. Gupta works as journalist now but is trained and certified as a neurosurgeon, so “Dr.” is indeed his correct title.
	3:36pm John from Florham Park: We are one big family that really cares for each other
	3:36pm John from Florham Park: @GST very big clubhouse
	3:37pm mzzzzm: I reall this Gupta guy was loud opponent universal care few years back. nonetheless what he's saying this time may be true but i see his another his media attention ego stunt.....
	3:37pm P-90: Oh sure, a lot of us have had “friends” who “accidentally” took our stuff, we know how that goes...
	3:38pm Rick G: @Granny: Alderbrook Resort in Union is nice. Sunset Beach Grocery outside Belfair on SR106 makes a nice gyro :).
	3:38pm Phillippe Bastille: I think at some point Gupta was being considered for Surgeon General
	3:38pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Granny Spicy Tuna! Yes! It's awesome to see you here as well. I have the day off. I have a cold, so, I'm just chillaxing.
	3:39pm Jocelyn: It's sad. I've been feeling that lack of community the last few years. I noticed a weird shift happening at work and blamed it on generational differences but I'm finding it's much deeper than that, happening everywhere.
	3:39pm JasonInBoston: BOOM! Hi Sheila! XOXOXOXO
	3:39pm John from Florham Park: @buddha CHICKEN SOUP
	3:40pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Yep, Alderbrook is where we shall gather! Thanks for the gyro tip. I will surely follow up on that one. Mmmmm
	3:40pm michael z: So glad it worked out Sheila. Thank goodness for Find My Phone...and community is so important. You are part of our community every Friday.
	3:40pm Cooh John: Good afternoon djsheilab and sophisticates. Now its the weekend.
	3:41pm MplsCoco: Love to you all! Happy Friday!
	3:41pm zpulpa: @ Granny Spicy Tuna:, MY trip is coming together and ill be hitting the road for the PNW after memorial day, I cant wait!
	3:41pm djsheilab: Here's a link to "One Nation Under Stress" www.hbo.com...
	3:42pm John from Florham Park: @joyclen it’s like people don’t want to be social with each other and I don’t want to blame everything on the iPhone
	3:42pm zpulpa: woops didnt mean to all caps 'my'.
	3:42pm Ike (eekay!): I also worry about what'll happen if I ever lose my keys and can't get in to my place to feed my cats! Does any company produce completely flat cat food that you can slide under the door?! ;)
	3:43pm Buddha of Suburbia: Thanks John from Florham Park. My boyfriend is bringing me some.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Hey Buddha of Suburbia, Cooh John, Ike, MplsCoco, + Jason In Boston!!!
	3:43pm Buddha of Suburbia: Love this tune.
	3:43pm Jocelyn: John, it is much more than the iPhone! It's deeper than that.
	3:43pm The Oscar: Totally agree on community-- I'm lucky enough to have a writing gig as part of a local arts collective, and it's so amazing to have a place in such a warm and supportive community (and a creative outlet to boot!). The good news is I'm pretty sure there are communities like this everywhere-- you just need to know where to look :)
	3:44pm John from Florham Park: @buddha your boyfriend sounds like a great guy
	3:45pm Jocelyn: There's also a general lack of helpfulness. Almost like everyone's out for themselves.
	3:45pm zpulpa: Music has always brought me community more than most things!
	3:45pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Jocelyn, as much as i adore this virtual clubhouse, i suspect that online socializing is hindering our ability (as a society) to interact graciously in person. WFMU has many opportunities for folx to gather in person, and i think that's one reason why the WFMU family feels more stable than other online communities (even for those of us in far-flung places). I try to balance my online interactions with local, in-person gatherings. Small is good, simple is good. But keep on showing up is the best.
	3:45pm John from Florham Park: @jocelyn I am at a complete loss to what it is and Facebook is part of it
	3:45pm Phillippe Bastille: @Jocelyn Truly depends on the people and where you are. Lived in the house we are fixing up to move from for almost 20 years and know the names of only 3 of our neighbors, and have only been invited into two of their homes. Different story where we are moving to. Met all the neighbors and one has already traded keys to our front doors for emergency dog-walking.
	3:46pm Cmurtha: This ties back to Bowling Alone, and a few other works that started popping up around the 80s onward. About how the failure of democratic institutions in America, and the crisis of America culture/community stemming from the to the revanchism of the late 70s and80s/the loss of regulations, and a new emphasis on the individual which justified these larger power grabs). Its strange we now live in "American Psycho"esque world. I think people my age and younger try to form these bonds and suceed, but there's just so much external preasure, I worry more about the kids born after my brother, who seem genuinely afraid of admitting to having feelings, or afraid of the damage to their image/themselves those kinds of relationships may entail. Though that last one is just personal observation, not sure if its actually BACKED by anything.
	3:47pm Granny Spicy Tuna: zpulpa, yay! so cool. Any particular spots you're hoping to explore?
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thanks for all your wonderful thoughts on this community/ social isolation issue!
	3:48pm John from Florham Park: @phillioe where I live the neighbors all know each other and watch out for each other, where I used to live in Florida no matter how hard I tried I could not get to know my neighbors at all
	3:48pm KevinfromBayRidge: Very happy that you located your bag, Sheila.Although your bag's whereabouts were inconclusive when I left, it was impressive to see FMU folk in search mode. Saved by the Nazario Scenario!
	3:49pm Cmurtha: I will have to check out the documentary, but I do hope that Gupta ties this to the ultimate failure of the Civil Rights movement, and the blow back stemming from Stagflation, and the unrest of the 70s leading to the sanitized culture of control we find ourselves in now
	3:49pm John from Florham Park: @djsheliab I hate getting this serious on Friday afternoons while listening to your always great show but you got us talking about it
	3:49pm Jocelyn: I see all these workplace changes, attitudes, and it's weird. Also weird that I blinked and suddenly I'm the one with seniority. Where did the last 20 years ago?
	3:50pm zpulpa: @Granny Spicy Tuna, I will be just outside of Portland OR in Happy Valley working on an art project for June, then ill be in Portland most the time but really want to visit Washington, I have a friend in Olympia I want to see, im not sure other than that. I think ill be around the area until fall.
	3:50pm Luna Nueva: Hi Sheila, it's true that Hispanics are not as stressed out as Americans. I lived in Puerto Rico for ten years and I lived in the Dominican Republic for three years. My American friends referred to the experience as culture shock. We can learn a lot from each other.
	3:51pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Bookstores have been a place for nurturing local community, and that's why it's a tragedy so many are closing. On Lopez Island, we have few public places where strangers are likely to interact socially for free, so the library has become one of the most important spots for such community building. We also have a free store which is always a fun place.
	3:51pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi DJSheilab! LOVE Your SHOW!
	3:52pm Granny Spicy Tuna: zpulpa: i will be in portland in mid-June. If you want to try out that weird "in-person socializing" thing, we could meet up somewhere. :)
	3:52pm Phillippe Bastille: Its curious to see how that looking out for each other thing eveloves as neighborhoods turn over. My 89 yr old mom lives in a 50s-era development that has a lot of starter homes for new families. She doesn't have to worry about finding someone to clear her walk when it snows or mowing her tiny lawn. Neighbors step up and it just happens.
	3:53pm P-90: Truth is I’ve been curious to see what “One Nation Under Stress” has to say, but I’ve been too busy/stressed out to make time to watch it yet...
	3:53pm Jocelyn: Hi Buddha!
	3:54pm Passaic River Blues: More or less on point and tacking on to CMurtha here: I am currently reading a book by Jonathan Metzl called “Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland.” It concerns not only how far-right policies undermine the physical health of everyone including white Americans who endorse those policies, but also lead to the fraying of a larger sense of community and a variety of negative psycho-social effects. Instability and zero-sum politics breeds mistrust breeds despair.
	3:54pm Rick G: @zpulpa: Olympia has a great record store: Rainy Day. It’s been around since the 1970’s. The Hood Canal area is an easy drive from Olympia and well worth it.
	3:54pm Jocelyn: Yes :( Too many bookstores closing or already closed. So many great places are closing or already gone. That's been one of my social problems the last decade. New York has lost so many places I'd gather.
	3:54pm zpulpa: @Granny Spicy Tuna, that would be awesome! I am really looking forward to that time. we will be in touch!
	3:55pm John from Florham Park: Jocelyn I have no idea, it’s a damn shame though
	3:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna: P-90 i'm laughing til i cry here! Oy. When i moved into my house in SF 22 years ago, i quickly got to know all of my neighbors, who had been in the neighborhood for a long time. Then real estate boomed and everyone sold their houses and the folx who moved in showed no interest in getting to know their neighbors. Wah. :(
	3:56pm djsheilab: Agreed on the bookstores. And to think that Amazon has dared to open their own stores makes my blood boil!
	3:56pm John from Florham Park: @GST it is known as house flipping and that really screws up a neighborhood
	3:57pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Jocelyn!
	3:57pm Passaic River Blues: Wow, this is one of the most interesting covers of this song I've heard yet.
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...high-heeled shoegaze...
	3:58pm zpulpa: I have lived in Baltimore for two years and the book store Normals here has been where I have met most my friends!
	3:58pm mzzzzm: all i gotta say was this grupa guy left me the impression of another big insurance co. /big pharma co. backyard Doc-Dog. he's playing good guy now for his image restoration? or he's gonna pull more pills for concerned community citizens?
	3:59pm John from Florham Park: @djsheliab I for one would refuse to go to an amazon store give me a book store anyway where I can drink some coffee and do a little reading
	3:59pm Passaic River Blues: That was sweet and denatured at the same time.
	3:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey - Corporations are PeepHoles too!...that's why corporate means of the body...
	4:00pm JasonInBoston: Right on John! and don't forget the bookstore cat / dog!
	4:00pm Jocelyn: Granny, I understand that! My old Bowery apartment building was awesome, I knew everyone. Then gentrification slowly creeped in, models started invading the neighborhood then everyone sold out, the new neighbors had no interest in meeting.
	4:00pm John from Florham Park: @mzzzm we are medicated as it is
	4:00pm Jocelyn: Amazon. Ugh.
	4:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna: John from Florham Park: house flipping has certainly had a huge impact on SF. I am happy to report that our neighborhood has a group trying to preserve the things we love (partly by challenging huge development projects) and that my home will be the gathering place for an evening of informational presentations and hanging out IN PERSON.
	4:01pm John from Florham Park: @JIB I really love going to independent or small chain book stores where I can look around and not get hustled
	4:01pm mzzzzm: "community"??? what's hell!? why he doesn't say 'medicare for all'? I wonder...
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...preferably w/ chairs designed to only be usable by yer gluteus for say half an hour...either pay rent er move along ya bum...
	4:02pm Phillippe Bastille: sadly ironic that Amazon's first brick and mortar take-down targets would've likely gone away on their own given how the industry moved to digital media
	4:03pm Passaic River Blues: Superb transition there.
	4:03pm Granny Spicy Tuna: in other news, i went to a thrilling flamenco performance last week. Olé!!!
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& we close sometime before evening too...
	4:04pm John from Florham Park: &GST here Where I live there are a lot of McMansions being built which is pissing off the old timers a street I used to live on has a bunch of new houses which is kind of depressing in a way
	4:05pm John from Florham Park: Sorry to be a downer guys
	4:05pm Cmurtha: @granny that's cool! I should go to more dance/theater performances.
	4:05pm Phillippe Bastille: @Granny is The Tumbleweed Cafe on Van Ness still there? That place saved my per diem every trip
	4:06pm tneeld: Ah - what did I miss? Oh - community! I've been thinking a lot about isolation in America - mainly because of the contrast with Istanbul, which is a place where I've almost immediately made fast friends. Plus they have a strong culture of common space sharing and hanging out. I've been in my city in the U.S. for 4 years and I have many more friends in Istanbul.
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we have revised the First Amendment from 'Free Assembly' to 'Mid to High-Fee Assembly'...
	4:08pm admiral crisp: that Rosalia track was fire
	4:08pm Phillippe Bastille: well put RR
	4:08pm Cmurtha: @john its okay, we got on a kinda downer thing. @tneeld It is a very interesting contrast, its a shame because of the work I am doing here I don't get to enjoy that aspect of Turkish culture as often as I should.
	4:09pm John from Florham Park: @Cmurtha thanks did not mean to be
	4:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillippe Bastille: i think that is long gone. I never went there, sounds like i missed something good.
	4:11pm zpulpa: I think talking about these things is really important and helps collectively brain storm what we are feeling about this strange culture we are both a part of and a part from. It is nice to hear all of your perspectives.
	4:11pm tneeld: @Cmurtha Ahh - I can imagine actually living in Istanbul might be different. On this last trip I fell in with some artistic folks on the Asian side (we listened to old SBB shows which was just about perfect), so I had lots of 5 AM conversations and generalized collegiate-ness.
	4:13pm Phillippe Bastille: @Granny They had this really hearty chili for like $5 that could fill you up. There was a cooking school upstairs and I think a lot of their practice dishes would make their way down. And it was a walk, albeit a long one, from the St. Francis, where our client put us up.
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @John f FP : www.theverge.com...
	4:13pm djsheilab: admiral crisp—Whole album is smokin'!
	4:14pm P-90: Love for this Rose Elinor Dougal
	4:14pm Cmurtha: @Tneeld, I just happen to be doing research so I don't run into folks often as I am either in the apt. or a library. But, the friendliness/community is there! That sounds like a cool time, I remember having a lot of fun conversations when I came here two years ago over the summer for language training.
	4:14pm Phillippe Bastille: Damn. Now I miss San Francisco.
	4:15pm MplsCoco: Amazing... ❤️ Oh Etta.
	4:15pm John from Florham Park: RR63 that is why I am listening more and more to music and watching less news want to keep my sanity
	4:16pm lp-cover-lover: Etta Jones is great - maybe overlooked in the pantheon. This is so smooth.
	4:17pm Luna Nueva: On the other hand my spouse is Canadian. Complete opposite of us Latinas. We made it work. LOL. :-)
	4:18pm tneeld: @Cmurtha - it's always weird when you find the place you belong and find that it has nothing to do with your background or upbringing. I've never seen more confused people than my Turkish friends when I say I want to move there.
	4:18pm P-90: Agreed, Etta Jones indeed under-appreciated. Like so many...
	4:19pm John from Florham Park: @LN tell your spouse I love listening to the CBC
	4:21pm admiral crisp: is this geddan!?
	4:22pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillipe Bastille: i often think that, too (i miss SF). This city has always had gold rushes followed by massive destruction. But last night i was in a gritty little gay bar on 6th St doing karaoke with a bunch of kooks and thought, now this feels like the SF i was missing.
	4:26pm The Oscar: Clickystarred at the first lyric!
	4:27pm JasonInBoston: OOH YEAH! Love this remake by Holly Golightly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7GI996kGcI
	4:28pm Phillippe Bastille: @granny rare example of plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
	4:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillipe Bastille: sometimes i think there are still traces of the Barbary Coast era lingering in these hills…
	4:32pm John from Florham Park: LOVE TRACY ULLMAN
	4:32pm djsheilab: First Uzbeki song on SBB!
	4:33pm John from Florham Park: @live it shelia
	4:33pm Phillippe Bastille: @Granny at least on Talk Like a Pirate day!
	4:34pm ncjay: heh. Marie (not Maria) is my wife - she was so pleased you liked it!
	4:34pm Phillippe Bastille: @djsheilaB then it must be clicky-starred on general priciples!
	4:35pm slugluv1313: ahhhh Uzbeki! was wondering . . . LOVE IT!
	4:35pm Passaic River Blues: Uzbeki banger!
	4:37pm Cmurtha: Uzbek is close enough to turkish that I can make out some of this, but I know its different enough that I don't follow it as much as I feel like I should.
	4:41pm tneeld: @Cmurtha is it farther than Azerbaijani? (I would imagine so.)
	4:41pm JasonInBoston: A reference to Shugie Otis "Aht a Mi Head" (pronounced "Out of My Head") from his famous Inspiration Information LP.
	4:41pm djsheilab: Shuggie sounds like she may be a pet :) Not Shuggie Otis!
	4:44pm lp-cover-lover: Yay!! I love this Alice Clark song Sheila!
	4:44pm John from Florham Park: Ok fellow boom boom listeners going to leave you all to get ready for my sisters wedding will tear myself away from all this wonderful music
	4:44pm djsheilab: lp-cover-lover—Unbelievable production on this record!
	4:45pm John from Florham Park: @shelia playing great tunes as always
	4:45pm zpulpa: Have a great evening John!
	4:45pm lp-cover-lover: Nice drum breaks :)
	4:45pm B/wad: Approaching midnight here in Tel Aviv, just started raining. Last cigarette on my balcony before bed. Night night Shelia & Boomers
	4:45pm John from Florham Park: @Zupla thanks
	4:47pm EG_Astro: Happy Friday everyone!!
	4:47pm Cmurtha: @tneeld its closer to Azeri in that it retains lots of persian words/they speak russian/sprinkle russian into their speaking. As far as I know its similar enough that you can get by/understand a lot of what they say and the grammar/some other things are basically the same, but its more removed from Turkish then Azeri is/the pronunciation is different enough for the same words to cause confusion. I don't think it has vowel harmony. The only thing I remember for certain about it is that onlar = siz in uzbek
	4:47pm lp-cover-lover: Not to be tooo effusive but this We Joe song is immediately great! I have to hunt it down. Thanks for turning us on today Sheila!
	4:47pm Phillippe Bastille: @John go all out for that garter, mate!
	4:48pm lp-cover-lover: reminds me of Letta a bit
	4:48pm John from Florham Park: @phillipe will try to:)
	4:49pm Cmurtha: @John have fun!!
	4:49pm Carmichael: Well, this has been an unbelievably f*cked week. Extra thanks for the boom boom, Sheila.
	4:49pm djsheilab: Sorry to hear it Carmichael. Hope things look up for you soon! And hello EG_Astro + B/wad!
	4:50pm ncjay: this Rupa album was on my "buy" list just from Numero Group's description of it. Just out today!
	4:51pm Passaic River Blues: I just was looking up this record a couple of months ago. So good!
	4:51pm tneeld: @Cmurtha - oh, that's interesting and fun - thanks for the info. The TV in Azerbaijan was about 3/4 Russian - which makes a whole lot of sense.
	4:52pm Passaic River Blues: I mean an Indian synthpop record from 1982 titled "Disco Jazz"? Here, take all of my money.
	4:52pm tneeld: @Passaic River Blues I was thinking the exact same thing.
	4:53pm Cmurtha: Man that part...Its sounds like that one song that used to play in Loony Toons cartoons. Please tell me someone else hears it so they can tell me the name of that song and I won't go crazy looking for it.
	4:53pm djsheilab: Normally I fade songs that go on for seven minutes but not this one!
	4:53pm ncjay: PRB - and from Calgary!
	4:53pm Cmurtha: @tneeld what did you do in Azerbaijan? I went there for language training too, I found it interesting...
	4:54pm djsheilab: If these guitar solos were put through a distortion pedal they'd be SO METAL!
	4:54pm B/wad: @djsheilab I used to catch the Tracey Ullman show as a kid, but have gotten really into her music as an adult. Hearing that album on your show just feels SO right :)
	4:55pm queems: ahhhh what a party today!!
	4:55pm Cmurtha: POWERHOUSE THAT'S THE SONG
	4:55pm Passaic River Blues: @NCJay: wait, what? This was made in ALBERTA?!
	4:56pm ncjay: yep!
	4:56pm queems: i need this record???
	4:57pm djsheilab: I think I can guess what the most clicky-starred song of the show will be :)
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gotta go. TY SHEELAH BEE
	4:58pm tneeld: @Cmurtha - I only went for a few days during my Turkey trip. I landed in Baku and then pretty immediately (after wandering around the old city a bit and going through a medieval torture exhibit that felt like it was put together by local goth-y art students) took a bus to Quba and then a taxi up to Khinaliq. Pretty interesting place - the language they speak there has no relation to any nearby language - I think they're ethnically Albanian or something? Baku was nice, albeit famously windy.
	4:59pm Carmichael: Oh BTW Sheila, I was just thinking about the (few) female vocal leads on APP albums. Don't Hold Back by Clare Tory (the same woman who moans through Dark Side of the Moon) would be a good candidate for your show sometime. Just the junior producer in me ...
	5:00pm Yes: beautiful stuff, thank you
	5:01pm Cmurtha: @that wind is a blessing when you are there in the summer. I'd like to go back to Azerbaijan to see Shah Abbass' mosque, and the seljuk stuff there, but we shall see!
	5:04pm zpulpa: I am super excited to go hear Noura Mint Seymali perform tonight!
	5:05pm Passaic River Blues: Andy Votel is an eminently worthy occasional man.
	5:06pm tneeld: @Cmurtha I can imagine - it was just vaguely annoying when I was there. (It was my first flight where the passengers applauded when we landed - it was a rough landing.)
	5:08pm Ike (eekay!): Uzbek food is tasty. Folks, try Nargis in Brooklyn if you haven't already.
	5:08pm djsheilab: Passaic River Blues—Haha! Yes he is!
	5:09pm Peter Horvath: This track is great!
	5:10pm djsheilab: Peter Horvath—Glad you dig!
	5:18pm Cmurtha: Is the heavy bass, washed out 80s anime endingesque song a musical ascetic I can search for? If not: why not? What a banger
	5:18pm djsheilab: Cmurtha :)
	5:19pm dano59: Loverly!
	5:20pm Passaic River Blues: Recalling what a good interviewee Julia was.
	5:20pm djsheilab: Julia Jacklin playing Bowery Ballrroom 4/24 + Rough Trade 4/23. She is the real deal, folks.
	5:22pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Really like in this song
	5:23pm djsheilab: "The subway charms us so!" A line that sadly doesn't hold up :)
	5:25pm P-90: Blossom can charm me with anything she finds charming. Even the subway. Or HER subway, anyway...
	5:32pm zpulpa: heyyy!!! Baltimore represent!
	5:33pm ncjay: Sheila, check The Tamlins' version of Baltimore - very compelling
	5:34pm Phillippe Bastille: Baltimore! Home town!
	5:34pm Cmurtha: I am going to pop off thanks for another great show Sheila! Have a good weekend everyone!
	5:35pm Phillippe Bastille: That Julia Jacklin album is probably top 3 for me this year
	5:35pm Passaic River Blues: Oh man, Spellling! A truly wonderful get.
	5:35pm tneeld: I'm off to exercise - have a great weekend and thanks for the great and smooth show.
	5:36pm Phillippe Bastille: Later Cmurtha. Have a good weekend!
	5:37pm ncjay: wonder if the cover art of Claude Fontaine relates to the song title?
	5:38pm zpulpa: eeee I just gave notice that I am leaving to my work... I was nervous but it went over well....
	5:39pm EG_Astro: Congrats zpulpa!
	5:39pm djsheilab: zpulpa—Yay for you!
	5:40pm Carmichael: Free of The MAN!
	5:41pm P-90: LOVE Barbara Lynn, classic performance and arrangement
	5:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, zpulpa. Fearless!
	5:41pm lp-cover-lover: What a great show Sheila! I love this Barbara Lynn. Hope you have a great weekend!
	5:41pm zpulpa: It has been a good job, and it has given me all of these hours each week to spend listening to wfmu and get to know you amazing listener friends, but I am young and gotta keep it moving... and luckily wfmu stays even after I quit the desk job. Thank you all!
	5:42pm lp-cover-lover: Linda Lewis this is :)
	5:42pm dano59: Agree so much on Ms. Dearie, and the Baltimore love. Next you'll be binge watching "Homicide: Life on the Street"
	5:43pm P-90: Actually, “The Wire” is THE cinematic treatise on Baltimore
	5:43pm Passaic River Blues: Good for you, @Zpulpa.
	5:45pm Phillippe Bastille: Congrats Z!
	5:46pm Phillippe Bastille: Tin Men was a pretty decent Baltimore-based film. Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito. Music by Fine Young Cannibals
	5:48pm zpulpa: I will certainly miss Baltimore, its a special place, and full of great music for sure! The nina Simone version was on repeat for me the first weeks of moving here.
	5:49pm slugluv1313: awesome news, zpulpa! and YES!!!!! here is to moving onwards and upwards! :)
	5:49pm “The” Porpus: These romantic songs crush my soul. Ugh, sublime..
	5:50pm Phillippe Bastille: where are you moving to Zpulpa?
	5:51pm P-90: All these years later, Skeeter is still almost magically affecting.
	5:51pm Phillippe Bastille: This song actually makes me swoon. Where's my fainting couch? I have the vapors...
	5:52pm zpulpa: well, no more work for these last ten minutes. Im gonna clean up and get lost in this dreamy tune. You all are so sweet! WFMU is the best role model for what a community can be! I appreciate you all. And gosh, this song is the sweet smell of flowers in the air, lets dance!
	5:52pm ncjay: this song grabbed me by the heart as a ten year old and left me SHOOK
	5:53pm EG_Astro: i love the direction these last few songs are taking
	5:53pm Phillippe Bastille: agreed
	5:55pm Fernando P.: What a lovely show that was. Thank you Sheila!
	5:55pm slugluv1313: yes, agreed! Sheila, this whole show has been absolutely fantastic! a wonderful oasis in world full of such overwhelming negativity -- THANK-YOU!
	5:56pm Phillippe Bastille: Thank you SheilaB. Don't forget to tell us the clicky star winner
	5:56pm ncjay: agreed here too. you really outdid yourself this week, Sheila - what a wonderful three hours! thank you!!
	5:57pm zpulpa: Wow wow wow wow, thank you Sheila B.!! Have a beautiful weekend friends!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks, Sheila!
	5:59pm EG_Astro: Gnite everyone, have a good weekend!

Listener comments!

	3:28pm John from Florham Park: Afternoon Buddha
	3:29pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi John from Florham Park! Isn't Sheila B. fantastic?
	3:29pm Buddha of Suburbia: Granny Spicy Tuna! Hello!
	3:30pm John from Florham Park: @P-90 it was with Steve, he was a real piece of work at times
	3:30pm John from Florham Park: @Buddha shelia is appointment radio on Friday
	3:31pm Phillippe Bastille: Boods!
	3:31pm Passaic River Blues: Half the fun of hearing Sheila play Japanese artists is the knowledge you’ll eventually hear her accurately and melodiously pronounce their names.
	3:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna: @Rick G. Thanks! I haven't spent much time in the Port Orchard area, but i am soon going to a family gathering nearby in Union, Washington.
	3:33pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Phillippe Bastille!
	3:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Hey, Buddha! So lovely to see you here today.
	3:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna: WFMU is my favorite clubhouse.
	3:35pm P-90: Dr. Gupta works as journalist now but is trained and certified as a neurosurgeon, so “Dr.” is indeed his correct title.
	3:36pm John from Florham Park: We are one big family that really cares for each other
	3:36pm John from Florham Park: @GST very big clubhouse
	3:37pm mzzzzm: I reall this Gupta guy was loud opponent universal care few years back. nonetheless what he's saying this time may be true but i see his another his media attention ego stunt.....
	3:37pm P-90: Oh sure, a lot of us have had “friends” who “accidentally” took our stuff, we know how that goes...
	3:38pm Rick G: @Granny: Alderbrook Resort in Union is nice. Sunset Beach Grocery outside Belfair on SR106 makes a nice gyro :).
	3:38pm Phillippe Bastille: I think at some point Gupta was being considered for Surgeon General
	3:38pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Granny Spicy Tuna! Yes! It's awesome to see you here as well. I have the day off. I have a cold, so, I'm just chillaxing.
	3:39pm Jocelyn: It's sad. I've been feeling that lack of community the last few years. I noticed a weird shift happening at work and blamed it on generational differences but I'm finding it's much deeper than that, happening everywhere.
	3:39pm JasonInBoston: BOOM! Hi Sheila! XOXOXOXO
	3:39pm John from Florham Park: @buddha CHICKEN SOUP
	3:40pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Yep, Alderbrook is where we shall gather! Thanks for the gyro tip. I will surely follow up on that one. Mmmmm
	3:40pm michael z: So glad it worked out Sheila. Thank goodness for Find My Phone...and community is so important. You are part of our community every Friday.
	3:40pm Cooh John: Good afternoon djsheilab and sophisticates. Now its the weekend.
	3:41pm MplsCoco: Love to you all! Happy Friday!
	3:41pm zpulpa: @ Granny Spicy Tuna:, MY trip is coming together and ill be hitting the road for the PNW after memorial day, I cant wait!
	3:41pm djsheilab: Here's a link to "One Nation Under Stress" www.hbo.com...
	3:42pm John from Florham Park: @joyclen it’s like people don’t want to be social with each other and I don’t want to blame everything on the iPhone
	3:42pm zpulpa: woops didnt mean to all caps 'my'.
	3:42pm Ike (eekay!): I also worry about what'll happen if I ever lose my keys and can't get in to my place to feed my cats! Does any company produce completely flat cat food that you can slide under the door?! ;)
	3:43pm Buddha of Suburbia: Thanks John from Florham Park. My boyfriend is bringing me some.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Hey Buddha of Suburbia, Cooh John, Ike, MplsCoco, + Jason In Boston!!!
	3:43pm Buddha of Suburbia: Love this tune.
	3:43pm Jocelyn: John, it is much more than the iPhone! It's deeper than that.
	3:43pm The Oscar: Totally agree on community-- I'm lucky enough to have a writing gig as part of a local arts collective, and it's so amazing to have a place in such a warm and supportive community (and a creative outlet to boot!). The good news is I'm pretty sure there are communities like this everywhere-- you just need to know where to look :)
	3:44pm John from Florham Park: @buddha your boyfriend sounds like a great guy
	3:45pm Jocelyn: There's also a general lack of helpfulness. Almost like everyone's out for themselves.
	3:45pm zpulpa: Music has always brought me community more than most things!
	3:45pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Jocelyn, as much as i adore this virtual clubhouse, i suspect that online socializing is hindering our ability (as a society) to interact graciously in person. WFMU has many opportunities for folx to gather in person, and i think that's one reason why the WFMU family feels more stable than other online communities (even for those of us in far-flung places). I try to balance my online interactions with local, in-person gatherings. Small is good, simple is good. But keep on showing up is the best.
	3:45pm John from Florham Park: @jocelyn I am at a complete loss to what it is and Facebook is part of it
	3:45pm Phillippe Bastille: @Jocelyn Truly depends on the people and where you are. Lived in the house we are fixing up to move from for almost 20 years and know the names of only 3 of our neighbors, and have only been invited into two of their homes. Different story where we are moving to. Met all the neighbors and one has already traded keys to our front doors for emergency dog-walking.
	3:46pm Cmurtha: This ties back to Bowling Alone, and a few other works that started popping up around the 80s onward. About how the failure of democratic institutions in America, and the crisis of America culture/community stemming from the to the revanchism of the late 70s and80s/the loss of regulations, and a new emphasis on the individual which justified these larger power grabs). Its strange we now live in "American Psycho"esque world. I think people my age and younger try to form these bonds and suceed, but there's just so much external preasure, I worry more about the kids born after my brother, who seem genuinely afraid of admitting to having feelings, or afraid of the damage to their image/themselves those kinds of relationships may entail. Though that last one is just personal observation, not sure if its actually BACKED by anything.
	3:47pm Granny Spicy Tuna: zpulpa, yay! so cool. Any particular spots you're hoping to explore?
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thanks for all your wonderful thoughts on this community/ social isolation issue!
	3:48pm John from Florham Park: @phillioe where I live the neighbors all know each other and watch out for each other, where I used to live in Florida no matter how hard I tried I could not get to know my neighbors at all
	3:48pm KevinfromBayRidge: Very happy that you located your bag, Sheila.Although your bag's whereabouts were inconclusive when I left, it was impressive to see FMU folk in search mode. Saved by the Nazario Scenario!
	3:49pm Cmurtha: I will have to check out the documentary, but I do hope that Gupta ties this to the ultimate failure of the Civil Rights movement, and the blow back stemming from Stagflation, and the unrest of the 70s leading to the sanitized culture of control we find ourselves in now
	3:49pm John from Florham Park: @djsheliab I hate getting this serious on Friday afternoons while listening to your always great show but you got us talking about it
	3:49pm Jocelyn: I see all these workplace changes, attitudes, and it's weird. Also weird that I blinked and suddenly I'm the one with seniority. Where did the last 20 years ago?
	3:50pm zpulpa: @Granny Spicy Tuna, I will be just outside of Portland OR in Happy Valley working on an art project for June, then ill be in Portland most the time but really want to visit Washington, I have a friend in Olympia I want to see, im not sure other than that. I think ill be around the area until fall.
	3:50pm Luna Nueva: Hi Sheila, it's true that Hispanics are not as stressed out as Americans. I lived in Puerto Rico for ten years and I lived in the Dominican Republic for three years. My American friends referred to the experience as culture shock. We can learn a lot from each other.
	3:51pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Bookstores have been a place for nurturing local community, and that's why it's a tragedy so many are closing. On Lopez Island, we have few public places where strangers are likely to interact socially for free, so the library has become one of the most important spots for such community building. We also have a free store which is always a fun place.
	3:51pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi DJSheilab! LOVE Your SHOW!
	3:52pm Granny Spicy Tuna: zpulpa: i will be in portland in mid-June. If you want to try out that weird "in-person socializing" thing, we could meet up somewhere. :)
	3:52pm Phillippe Bastille: Its curious to see how that looking out for each other thing eveloves as neighborhoods turn over. My 89 yr old mom lives in a 50s-era development that has a lot of starter homes for new families. She doesn't have to worry about finding someone to clear her walk when it snows or mowing her tiny lawn. Neighbors step up and it just happens.
	3:53pm P-90: Truth is I’ve been curious to see what “One Nation Under Stress” has to say, but I’ve been too busy/stressed out to make time to watch it yet...
	3:53pm Jocelyn: Hi Buddha!
	3:54pm Passaic River Blues: More or less on point and tacking on to CMurtha here: I am currently reading a book by Jonathan Metzl called “Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment Is Killing America's Heartland.” It concerns not only how far-right policies undermine the physical health of everyone including white Americans who endorse those policies, but also lead to the fraying of a larger sense of community and a variety of negative psycho-social effects. Instability and zero-sum politics breeds mistrust breeds despair.
	3:54pm Rick G: @zpulpa: Olympia has a great record store: Rainy Day. It’s been around since the 1970’s. The Hood Canal area is an easy drive from Olympia and well worth it.
	3:54pm Jocelyn: Yes :( Too many bookstores closing or already closed. So many great places are closing or already gone. That's been one of my social problems the last decade. New York has lost so many places I'd gather.
	3:54pm zpulpa: @Granny Spicy Tuna, that would be awesome! I am really looking forward to that time. we will be in touch!
	3:55pm John from Florham Park: Jocelyn I have no idea, it’s a damn shame though
	3:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna: P-90 i'm laughing til i cry here! Oy. When i moved into my house in SF 22 years ago, i quickly got to know all of my neighbors, who had been in the neighborhood for a long time. Then real estate boomed and everyone sold their houses and the folx who moved in showed no interest in getting to know their neighbors. Wah. :(
	3:56pm djsheilab: Agreed on the bookstores. And to think that Amazon has dared to open their own stores makes my blood boil!
	3:56pm John from Florham Park: @GST it is known as house flipping and that really screws up a neighborhood
	3:57pm Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Jocelyn!
	3:57pm Passaic River Blues: Wow, this is one of the most interesting covers of this song I've heard yet.
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...high-heeled shoegaze...
	3:58pm zpulpa: I have lived in Baltimore for two years and the book store Normals here has been where I have met most my friends!
	3:58pm mzzzzm: all i gotta say was this grupa guy left me the impression of another big insurance co. /big pharma co. backyard Doc-Dog. he's playing good guy now for his image restoration? or he's gonna pull more pills for concerned community citizens?
	3:59pm John from Florham Park: @djsheliab I for one would refuse to go to an amazon store give me a book store anyway where I can drink some coffee and do a little reading
	3:59pm Passaic River Blues: That was sweet and denatured at the same time.
	3:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey - Corporations are PeepHoles too!...that's why corporate means of the body...
	4:00pm JasonInBoston: Right on John! and don't forget the bookstore cat / dog!
	4:00pm Jocelyn: Granny, I understand that! My old Bowery apartment building was awesome, I knew everyone. Then gentrification slowly creeped in, models started invading the neighborhood then everyone sold out, the new neighbors had no interest in meeting.
	4:00pm John from Florham Park: @mzzzm we are medicated as it is
	4:00pm Jocelyn: Amazon. Ugh.
	4:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna: John from Florham Park: house flipping has certainly had a huge impact on SF. I am happy to report that our neighborhood has a group trying to preserve the things we love (partly by challenging huge development projects) and that my home will be the gathering place for an evening of informational presentations and hanging out IN PERSON.
	4:01pm John from Florham Park: @JIB I really love going to independent or small chain book stores where I can look around and not get hustled
	4:01pm mzzzzm: "community"??? what's hell!? why he doesn't say 'medicare for all'? I wonder...
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...preferably w/ chairs designed to only be usable by yer gluteus for say half an hour...either pay rent er move along ya bum...
	4:02pm Phillippe Bastille: sadly ironic that Amazon's first brick and mortar take-down targets would've likely gone away on their own given how the industry moved to digital media
	4:03pm Passaic River Blues: Superb transition there.
	4:03pm Granny Spicy Tuna: in other news, i went to a thrilling flamenco performance last week. Olé!!!
	4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& we close sometime before evening too...
	4:04pm John from Florham Park: &GST here Where I live there are a lot of McMansions being built which is pissing off the old timers a street I used to live on has a bunch of new houses which is kind of depressing in a way
	4:05pm John from Florham Park: Sorry to be a downer guys
	4:05pm Cmurtha: @granny that's cool! I should go to more dance/theater performances.
	4:05pm Phillippe Bastille: @Granny is The Tumbleweed Cafe on Van Ness still there? That place saved my per diem every trip
	4:06pm tneeld: Ah - what did I miss? Oh - community! I've been thinking a lot about isolation in America - mainly because of the contrast with Istanbul, which is a place where I've almost immediately made fast friends. Plus they have a strong culture of common space sharing and hanging out. I've been in my city in the U.S. for 4 years and I have many more friends in Istanbul.
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we have revised the First Amendment from 'Free Assembly' to 'Mid to High-Fee Assembly'...
	4:08pm admiral crisp: that Rosalia track was fire
	4:08pm Phillippe Bastille: well put RR
	4:08pm Cmurtha: @john its okay, we got on a kinda downer thing. @tneeld It is a very interesting contrast, its a shame because of the work I am doing here I don't get to enjoy that aspect of Turkish culture as often as I should.
	4:09pm John from Florham Park: @Cmurtha thanks did not mean to be
	4:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillippe Bastille: i think that is long gone. I never went there, sounds like i missed something good.
	4:11pm zpulpa: I think talking about these things is really important and helps collectively brain storm what we are feeling about this strange culture we are both a part of and a part from. It is nice to hear all of your perspectives.
	4:11pm tneeld: @Cmurtha Ahh - I can imagine actually living in Istanbul might be different. On this last trip I fell in with some artistic folks on the Asian side (we listened to old SBB shows which was just about perfect), so I had lots of 5 AM conversations and generalized collegiate-ness.
	4:13pm Phillippe Bastille: @Granny They had this really hearty chili for like $5 that could fill you up. There was a cooking school upstairs and I think a lot of their practice dishes would make their way down. And it was a walk, albeit a long one, from the St. Francis, where our client put us up.
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @John f FP : www.theverge.com...
	4:13pm djsheilab: admiral crisp—Whole album is smokin'!
	4:14pm P-90: Love for this Rose Elinor Dougal
	4:14pm Cmurtha: @Tneeld, I just happen to be doing research so I don't run into folks often as I am either in the apt. or a library. But, the friendliness/community is there! That sounds like a cool time, I remember having a lot of fun conversations when I came here two years ago over the summer for language training.
	4:14pm Phillippe Bastille: Damn. Now I miss San Francisco.
	4:15pm MplsCoco: Amazing... ❤️ Oh Etta.
	4:15pm John from Florham Park: RR63 that is why I am listening more and more to music and watching less news want to keep my sanity
	4:16pm lp-cover-lover: Etta Jones is great - maybe overlooked in the pantheon. This is so smooth.
	4:17pm Luna Nueva: On the other hand my spouse is Canadian. Complete opposite of us Latinas. We made it work. LOL. :-)
	4:18pm tneeld: @Cmurtha - it's always weird when you find the place you belong and find that it has nothing to do with your background or upbringing. I've never seen more confused people than my Turkish friends when I say I want to move there.
	4:18pm P-90: Agreed, Etta Jones indeed under-appreciated. Like so many...
	4:19pm John from Florham Park: @LN tell your spouse I love listening to the CBC
	4:21pm admiral crisp: is this geddan!?
	4:22pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillipe Bastille: i often think that, too (i miss SF). This city has always had gold rushes followed by massive destruction. But last night i was in a gritty little gay bar on 6th St doing karaoke with a bunch of kooks and thought, now this feels like the SF i was missing.
	4:26pm The Oscar: Clickystarred at the first lyric!
	4:27pm JasonInBoston: OOH YEAH! Love this remake by Holly Golightly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7GI996kGcI
	4:28pm Phillippe Bastille: @granny rare example of plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
	4:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillipe Bastille: sometimes i think there are still traces of the Barbary Coast era lingering in these hills…
	4:32pm John from Florham Park: LOVE TRACY ULLMAN
	4:32pm djsheilab: First Uzbeki song on SBB!
	4:33pm John from Florham Park: @live it shelia
	4:33pm Phillippe Bastille: @Granny at least on Talk Like a Pirate day!
	4:34pm ncjay: heh. Marie (not Maria) is my wife - she was so pleased you liked it!
	4:34pm Phillippe Bastille: @djsheilaB then it must be clicky-starred on general priciples!
	4:35pm slugluv1313: ahhhh Uzbeki! was wondering . . . LOVE IT!
	4:35pm Passaic River Blues: Uzbeki banger!
	4:37pm Cmurtha: Uzbek is close enough to turkish that I can make out some of this, but I know its different enough that I don't follow it as much as I feel like I should.
	4:41pm tneeld: @Cmurtha is it farther than Azerbaijani? (I would imagine so.)
	4:41pm JasonInBoston: A reference to Shugie Otis "Aht a Mi Head" (pronounced "Out of My Head") from his famous Inspiration Information LP.
	4:41pm djsheilab: Shuggie sounds like she may be a pet :) Not Shuggie Otis!
	4:44pm lp-cover-lover: Yay!! I love this Alice Clark song Sheila!
	4:44pm John from Florham Park: Ok fellow boom boom listeners going to leave you all to get ready for my sisters wedding will tear myself away from all this wonderful music
	4:44pm djsheilab: lp-cover-lover—Unbelievable production on this record!
	4:45pm John from Florham Park: @shelia playing great tunes as always
	4:45pm zpulpa: Have a great evening John!
	4:45pm lp-cover-lover: Nice drum breaks :)
	4:45pm B/wad: Approaching midnight here in Tel Aviv, just started raining. Last cigarette on my balcony before bed. Night night Shelia & Boomers
	4:45pm John from Florham Park: @Zupla thanks
	4:47pm EG_Astro: Happy Friday everyone!!
	4:47pm Cmurtha: @tneeld its closer to Azeri in that it retains lots of persian words/they speak russian/sprinkle russian into their speaking. As far as I know its similar enough that you can get by/understand a lot of what they say and the grammar/some other things are basically the same, but its more removed from Turkish then Azeri is/the pronunciation is different enough for the same words to cause confusion. I don't think it has vowel harmony. The only thing I remember for certain about it is that onlar = siz in uzbek
	4:47pm lp-cover-lover: Not to be tooo effusive but this We Joe song is immediately great! I have to hunt it down. Thanks for turning us on today Sheila!
	4:47pm Phillippe Bastille: @John go all out for that garter, mate!
	4:48pm lp-cover-lover: reminds me of Letta a bit
	4:48pm John from Florham Park: @phillipe will try to:)
	4:49pm Cmurtha: @John have fun!!
	4:49pm Carmichael: Well, this has been an unbelievably f*cked week. Extra thanks for the boom boom, Sheila.
	4:49pm djsheilab: Sorry to hear it Carmichael. Hope things look up for you soon! And hello EG_Astro + B/wad!
	4:50pm ncjay: this Rupa album was on my "buy" list just from Numero Group's description of it. Just out today!
	4:51pm Passaic River Blues: I just was looking up this record a couple of months ago. So good!
	4:51pm tneeld: @Cmurtha - oh, that's interesting and fun - thanks for the info. The TV in Azerbaijan was about 3/4 Russian - which makes a whole lot of sense.
	4:52pm Passaic River Blues: I mean an Indian synthpop record from 1982 titled "Disco Jazz"? Here, take all of my money.
	4:52pm tneeld: @Passaic River Blues I was thinking the exact same thing.
	4:53pm Cmurtha: Man that part...Its sounds like that one song that used to play in Loony Toons cartoons. Please tell me someone else hears it so they can tell me the name of that song and I won't go crazy looking for it.
	4:53pm djsheilab: Normally I fade songs that go on for seven minutes but not this one!
	4:53pm ncjay: PRB - and from Calgary!
	4:53pm Cmurtha: @tneeld what did you do in Azerbaijan? I went there for language training too, I found it interesting...
	4:54pm djsheilab: If these guitar solos were put through a distortion pedal they'd be SO METAL!
	4:54pm B/wad: @djsheilab I used to catch the Tracey Ullman show as a kid, but have gotten really into her music as an adult. Hearing that album on your show just feels SO right :)
	4:55pm queems: ahhhh what a party today!!
	4:55pm Cmurtha: POWERHOUSE THAT'S THE SONG
	4:55pm Passaic River Blues: @NCJay: wait, what? This was made in ALBERTA?!
	4:56pm ncjay: yep!
	4:56pm queems: i need this record???
	4:57pm djsheilab: I think I can guess what the most clicky-starred song of the show will be :)
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gotta go. TY SHEELAH BEE
	4:58pm tneeld: @Cmurtha - I only went for a few days during my Turkey trip. I landed in Baku and then pretty immediately (after wandering around the old city a bit and going through a medieval torture exhibit that felt like it was put together by local goth-y art students) took a bus to Quba and then a taxi up to Khinaliq. Pretty interesting place - the language they speak there has no relation to any nearby language - I think they're ethnically Albanian or something? Baku was nice, albeit famously windy.
	4:59pm Carmichael: Oh BTW Sheila, I was just thinking about the (few) female vocal leads on APP albums. Don't Hold Back by Clare Tory (the same woman who moans through Dark Side of the Moon) would be a good candidate for your show sometime. Just the junior producer in me ...
	5:00pm Yes: beautiful stuff, thank you
	5:01pm Cmurtha: @that wind is a blessing when you are there in the summer. I'd like to go back to Azerbaijan to see Shah Abbass' mosque, and the seljuk stuff there, but we shall see!
	5:04pm zpulpa: I am super excited to go hear Noura Mint Seymali perform tonight!
	5:05pm Passaic River Blues: Andy Votel is an eminently worthy occasional man.
	5:06pm tneeld: @Cmurtha I can imagine - it was just vaguely annoying when I was there. (It was my first flight where the passengers applauded when we landed - it was a rough landing.)
	5:08pm Ike (eekay!): Uzbek food is tasty. Folks, try Nargis in Brooklyn if you haven't already.
	5:08pm djsheilab: Passaic River Blues—Haha! Yes he is!
	5:09pm Peter Horvath: This track is great!
	5:10pm djsheilab: Peter Horvath—Glad you dig!
	5:18pm Cmurtha: Is the heavy bass, washed out 80s anime endingesque song a musical ascetic I can search for? If not: why not? What a banger
	5:18pm djsheilab: Cmurtha :)
	5:19pm dano59: Loverly!
	5:20pm Passaic River Blues: Recalling what a good interviewee Julia was.
	5:20pm djsheilab: Julia Jacklin playing Bowery Ballrroom 4/24 + Rough Trade 4/23. She is the real deal, folks.
	5:22pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Really like in this song
	5:23pm djsheilab: "The subway charms us so!" A line that sadly doesn't hold up :)
	5:25pm P-90: Blossom can charm me with anything she finds charming. Even the subway. Or HER subway, anyway...
	5:32pm zpulpa: heyyy!!! Baltimore represent!
	5:33pm ncjay: Sheila, check The Tamlins' version of Baltimore - very compelling
	5:34pm Phillippe Bastille: Baltimore! Home town!
	5:34pm Cmurtha: I am going to pop off thanks for another great show Sheila! Have a good weekend everyone!
	5:35pm Phillippe Bastille: That Julia Jacklin album is probably top 3 for me this year
	5:35pm Passaic River Blues: Oh man, Spellling! A truly wonderful get.
	5:35pm tneeld: I'm off to exercise - have a great weekend and thanks for the great and smooth show.
	5:36pm Phillippe Bastille: Later Cmurtha. Have a good weekend!
	5:37pm ncjay: wonder if the cover art of Claude Fontaine relates to the song title?
	5:38pm zpulpa: eeee I just gave notice that I am leaving to my work... I was nervous but it went over well....
	5:39pm EG_Astro: Congrats zpulpa!
	5:39pm djsheilab: zpulpa—Yay for you!
	5:40pm Carmichael: Free of The MAN!
	5:41pm P-90: LOVE Barbara Lynn, classic performance and arrangement
	5:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, zpulpa. Fearless!
	5:41pm lp-cover-lover: What a great show Sheila! I love this Barbara Lynn. Hope you have a great weekend!
	5:41pm zpulpa: It has been a good job, and it has given me all of these hours each week to spend listening to wfmu and get to know you amazing listener friends, but I am young and gotta keep it moving... and luckily wfmu stays even after I quit the desk job. Thank you all!
	5:42pm lp-cover-lover: Linda Lewis this is :)
	5:42pm dano59: Agree so much on Ms. Dearie, and the Baltimore love. Next you'll be binge watching "Homicide: Life on the Street"
	5:43pm P-90: Actually, “The Wire” is THE cinematic treatise on Baltimore
	5:43pm Passaic River Blues: Good for you, @Zpulpa.
	5:45pm Phillippe Bastille: Congrats Z!
	5:46pm Phillippe Bastille: Tin Men was a pretty decent Baltimore-based film. Richard Dreyfuss and Danny DeVito. Music by Fine Young Cannibals
	5:48pm zpulpa: I will certainly miss Baltimore, its a special place, and full of great music for sure! The nina Simone version was on repeat for me the first weeks of moving here.
	5:49pm slugluv1313: awesome news, zpulpa! and YES!!!!! here is to moving onwards and upwards! :)
	5:49pm “The” Porpus: These romantic songs crush my soul. Ugh, sublime..
	5:50pm Phillippe Bastille: where are you moving to Zpulpa?
	5:51pm P-90: All these years later, Skeeter is still almost magically affecting.
	5:51pm Phillippe Bastille: This song actually makes me swoon. Where's my fainting couch? I have the vapors...
	5:52pm zpulpa: well, no more work for these last ten minutes. Im gonna clean up and get lost in this dreamy tune. You all are so sweet! WFMU is the best role model for what a community can be! I appreciate you all. And gosh, this song is the sweet smell of flowers in the air, lets dance!
	5:52pm ncjay: this song grabbed me by the heart as a ten year old and left me SHOOK
	5:53pm EG_Astro: i love the direction these last few songs are taking
	5:53pm Phillippe Bastille: agreed
	5:55pm Fernando P.: What a lovely show that was. Thank you Sheila!
	5:55pm slugluv1313: yes, agreed! Sheila, this whole show has been absolutely fantastic! a wonderful oasis in world full of such overwhelming negativity -- THANK-YOU!
	5:56pm Phillippe Bastille: Thank you SheilaB. Don't forget to tell us the clicky star winner
	5:56pm ncjay: agreed here too. you really outdid yourself this week, Sheila - what a wonderful three hours! thank you!!
	5:57pm zpulpa: Wow wow wow wow, thank you Sheila B.!! Have a beautiful weekend friends!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks, Sheila!
	5:59pm EG_Astro: Gnite everyone, have a good weekend!
	6:01pm djsheilab: Thank you lovely ones! I enjoyed today IMMENSELY!!!! Have a wonderful weekend! Xoxox
