	♥ 12:02pm Jan Turkenburg: :-)
	♥ 12:02pm David in California: Hello MHLee and Darryl. Darryl, I hope that you're out and about again.

	12:05pm worldsworstrecords: Hello everyone!
	12:06pm worldsworstrecords: This is ace!
	12:08pm Mr Fab: Hey Jan and fellow Jan-fans. Let the epic Wednesday Sheena's programming block begin!
	♥ 12:08pm Jan Turkenburg: Hey Mr Fab!
	12:09pm worldsworstrecords: have you played the flip side of this before, Jan?
	♥ 12:11pm Jan Turkenburg: No, but other wfmu DJs have.
	12:12pm worldsworstrecords: I'll have to dig it out, see how it compares to the Screamin' Lord Sutch version
	♥ 12:12pm MHLee: I have it
	♥ 12:13pm MHLee: Or at least a Dutch Nederbeat version of it
	♥ 12:14pm MHLee: There's a Version by the Phantoms of the Diggin in the Goldmine 7 disc comp which can be found online
	12:15pm worldsworstrecords: Oh, just found it on the YouTubes... it's a completely different song to the one recorded by Lord Sutch
	♥ 12:19pm MHLee: /the phantoms i think is the same song irc
	♥ 12:21pm David in California: MHLee, I looked up Harmon and Ising, and was surprised I hadn't heard of them before, as they were so influential. It sounds like the studios found them too independent.
	12:22pm Mr Fab: I'm home karaoke-ing along with this 'River deep mountain high"
	♥ 12:22pm Jan Turkenburg: :-)
	♥ 12:25pm coelacanth∅: good evening Jan & all
	♥ 12:25pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi coelacanth∅!
	12:26pm Mr Fab: hello, New Wave! Spelling everything with a "k" makes everything more industrial.
	♥ 12:26pm David in California: Mr. Fab, I appreciated your identifying the Alains yesterday. Is there a DJ who covers French music in a similar way to how Jan covers Dutch music?
	♥ 12:28pm Jan Turkenburg: I didn't explain the multi-layered play in word of the name "Als je maar bekend band" entirely..
	12:28pm worldsworstrecords: I absolutely adore Harman and Ising: check out 'Bottles', it's an absolute classic
	♥ 12:28pm Jan Turkenburg: Als je maar bekend bent = As long as you're welknown Als je maar bekent band = As long as you confess band Als je maar bekend band = ????
	12:29pm worldsworstrecords: Hi coelacanth∅; Hi Mr F!
	♥ 12:30pm David in California: Thank you, Darryl, I'll check that out.
	12:30pm Mr Fab: David, we have a few shows that dip into French territory sometimes, but not on a weekly basis. Apart from DJ Shangri-La, Ursula1000 does French specials occasionally - he visits Paris and brings back stacks o' wax. Otis Fpdder and Cat play a lot of French-language stuff, too, tho it may be more French-Canadian (they live in Montreal).
	♥ 12:32pm coelacanth∅: hey Darryl!
	♥ 12:33pm MHLee: There's a youtuber who does documentaries on early cartoonists that might include Harman and Ising.... yup.. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:33pm MHLee: Also @David GG has done a few french specials I think
	12:35pm worldsworstrecords: Oh, I love TME!
	12:35pm Mr Fab: Ah yes, on GG's old "LoriHajTura" show.
	♥ 12:38pm coelacanth∅: dj Trouble on thursday mornings plays a bit of french music - though i'm not personally a fan
	12:40pm worldsworstrecords: hey David, if you like French pop I've done a couple of YeYe shows (French 60s pop) when I've filled in for Georgy and Jan... not sure how to look them up: let me see if I can find links
	12:43pm worldsworstrecords: @David in Cali: here's a two-hour show I did of French 60s pop: wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:45pm David in California: Thank you, Mr. Fab. I'll check Ursula1000's, Otis Fodder's and Cat's (Sonderangebot?) shows in the archive. Also thank you to MHLee, coelacanth, and Darryl for the information. I really appreciate it.
	♥ 12:48pm Jan Turkenburg: btw The Blitzz and St Giles's System: same singer lead gitarist. Ritchie Madness (= Theo van den Broek)
	12:48pm worldsworstrecords: This is fab!
	♥ 12:50pm Jan Turkenburg: Enfants Terribles was a Spanish band singing a Dutch traditional here in Dutch: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:51pm Jan Turkenburg: The other songs on this EP used to be wellknown melodies on Dutch weddings, etc...
	12:51pm Mr Fab: Ah, yes - That was an awesome Frenchy special, Darryl.
	12:57pm worldsworstrecords: Thank you, Mr F :-)
	♥ 12:59pm MHLee: really liked that George Baker Selection
	♥ 12:59pm Jan Turkenburg: Yes, they were awesome untill Una Paloma Blanca :-)
	♥ 1:00pm Jan Turkenburg: And THIS version of Tokyo is the original! :-)
	♥ 1:01pm coelacanth∅: first familiar one!
	♥ 1:02pm coelacanth∅: (although i did miss one i know by golden earring)
	1:11pm Mr Fab: that was a rockin "nugget." Does "From" actually mean "from"?
	♥ 1:12pm Jan Turkenburg: I must admit, I didn't pay enough attention to the lyrics to tell, Mr Fab
	♥ 1:13pm coelacanth∅: great version!
	1:17pm Domenic: Hi,Shocking Blue a group people in the US will know
	♥ 1:17pm Jan Turkenburg: Hey Domenic!
	♥ 1:19pm Jan Turkenburg: actually I got the idea for this show, because multiple people requested Shocking Blue and Golden Earring on Frame Duggy Louder. So I play a track by each of them in YWHNM. :-)
	♥ 1:19pm coelacanth∅: before nirvana in 1991 hardly anyone knew more than venus though... now they know 2 songs!
	♥ 1:20pm Jan Turkenburg: and the irony is that Venus actually was plagiarism of an American song.
	♥ 1:21pm Jan Turkenburg: But that was only found out decades later
	♥ 1:22pm Jan Turkenburg: "The Banjo Song" by Tim Rose and the Big 3
	♥ 1:22pm coelacanth∅: really! i mean, i always (and i mean always, even when i was 7-8 years old!) thought it was a very predictable riff. i just thought it was "a standard".
	♥ 1:24pm coelacanth∅: i must hear the banjo song!
	♥ 1:25pm Jan Turkenburg: it's not just the riff, you'll notice
	♥ 1:27pm Jan Turkenburg: and parts of this sound an awful lot like Friday on my mind :-)
	♥ 1:29pm Jan Turkenburg: just parts of course. I really like this!
	♥ 1:30pm coelacanth∅: i was so into venus when i was little (despite that^!) that i bought the album when i was ...13? and quickly learned that my favorite shocking blue songs were not venus. but i still love venus. maybe Van Leeuwen (sp?) purposely created a predictable simple song to break into the american market -as Ray Davies dummied-down his music in the late 70s
	1:33pm worldsworstrecords: 'You know I love you baby, please don't go....'
	♥ 1:34pm Jan Turkenburg: Robbie van Leeuwen's response (well after 2000, when a welknown Dutch pop music journalist found out) was: well, all blues songs sound alike too don't they?
	♥ 1:34pm HyperDose: Wednesday on Sheena's is STACKED with great programming!
	♥ 1:35pm David in California: coelacanth, I had a similar experience when I was given The Manfred Mann Album because I liked Do Wah Diddy Diddy and received my first exposure to r&b.
	♥ 1:35pm Jan Turkenburg: Hey Hyperdose!
	1:36pm worldsworstrecords: hey there HD!
	♥ 1:38pm coelacanth∅: David don't you love it? i'm sure it's happened many times now -the big hit is just the appetizer!
	♥ 1:39pm coelacanth∅: hey HyperD! Jan @134 i'm a little disappointed by that...i guess because it's so far from my opinion.
	1:40pm Listener Robert: I'm going to guess at the English meaning of "brandweerwagen". The "wagen" part is easy. "Weer" I'm going to guess is like German "wehr". Then "brand" I'm going to take literally as the same. So a "brand war wagon" -- a vehicle which engages in "brand war", i.e. competitive advertising. It must be one of those trucks whose sole purpose is to drag an advertisement down the road or park it in a prominent place. Now I'm going to see how close I came.
	♥ 1:41pm Jan Turkenburg: from mine as well, I remember he was grumpy because actually he was caught red-handed in his old age. It seems he first just hang up the phone, when confronted
	♥ 1:43pm Jan Turkenburg: Listener Robert "weer" means "defence" (in this context) "vuur" means fire and wagen is car/truck/wagon.
	♥ 1:43pm coelacanth∅: oh man, haha! it's sad though. it's just a tiny spot on my respect for him though.
	1:44pm worldsworstrecords: Is this the Beatlecover?
	1:45pm worldsworstrecords: well, that answers that!
	1:45pm Mr Fab: I remember you did that "Venus" special, Jan when you discussed that controversy. I wonder why Tim Rose and the Big 3 never said anything? They must have known about 'Venus," it went to #1 in the US.
	1:46pm Domenic: The Beatles done right!
	♥ 1:47pm Jan Turkenburg: this conversation is the end of the track. Next track being a Dutch language version of Yesterday, which i previously overlooked, because of the title.
	1:47pm Listener Robert: Thanks, JT, but it looks like the "brand" part of the word still had to be accounted for, so I did some research. We do have an archaic word in English, "brand" for the same meaning it apparently has in Dutch, which means our word "firebrand" is redundant.
	♥ 1:47pm coelacanth∅: why did Jake Holmes let dazed & confused go by?
	♥ 1:48pm coelacanth∅: i have the banjo song cued up for later... but i wouldn't be surprised if that is derivative of something before it.
	♥ 1:49pm Jan Turkenburg: the lyrics actually are
	♥ 1:49pm coelacanth∅: (this sounds a little like "paper sun")
	♥ 1:50pm Jan Turkenburg: "I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my ..."
	♥ 1:50pm Beany: Earth & Fire! I once owned their very rare LP. Still have it on CD.
	♥ 1:50pm coelacanth∅: maybe that's why they didn't try to sue
	1:51pm worldsworstrecords: The lyrics to Tim Rose's The Banjo Song are a steal of Oh Susannah: maybe he didn't want to get sued himself?
	♥ 1:51pm HyperDose: Hey Jan, Fab, Darryl and coel!
	♥ 1:51pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Beany, which one?
	1:51pm worldsworstrecords: ...great minds!
	♥ 1:51pm Beany: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:52pm Beany: Sold in a moment of madness...
	1:52pm worldsworstrecords: A THOUSAND POUNDS???
	♥ 1:52pm Jan Turkenburg: Yes, that one is hard to obtain as LP. I only have it digitally too
	♥ 1:53pm Beany: Early Roger Dean sleeve.
	1:53pm Mr Fab: I just read that Tim Rose swiped "Hey Joe," giving himself writing credit, even tho it had already been recorded by a number of bands. So yeah, i can see why he wouldn't go after Shocking Blue, haha.
	♥ 1:53pm coelacanth∅: holy crap! if i had that album i'd have a moment of madness right about now
	1:55pm worldsworstrecords: yes, Hey Joe had been around for a while too. He was a terrible plagiarist!
	♥ 1:56pm David in California: Jan, thank you for today's show, and for the French songs you play on Sounds Under 64 Not Allowed.
	1:57pm worldsworstrecords: If you No Mountaineers wish you can come join me HERE: wfmu.org...
	1:57pm worldsworstrecords: great show Jan... as always!
	♥ 1:57pm coelacanth∅: there are so many songs like that. peter paul & mary took credit for tons of songs from long before
	1:57pm Domenic: Thank you
	♥ 1:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Jan!
	♥ 1:59pm Feldy: Jan, I listened to "Wooden Shoes In Tirol" and really enjoyed it
	♥ 1:59pm Jan Turkenburg: :-) thanks Adam!
	🎸 ♥ 1:59pm Lizardner Dave !: thanks Jan!
	1:59pm Mr Fab: bedankt, Jan!
	♥ 1:59pm Jan Turkenburg: Dave!

	♥ 1:38pm coelacanth∅: David don't you love it? i'm sure it's happened many times now -the big hit is just the appetizer!
	♥ 1:39pm coelacanth∅: hey HyperD! Jan @134 i'm a little disappointed by that...i guess because it's so far from my opinion.
	1:40pm Listener Robert: I'm going to guess at the English meaning of "brandweerwagen". The "wagen" part is easy. "Weer" I'm going to guess is like German "wehr". Then "brand" I'm going to take literally as the same. So a "brand war wagon" -- a vehicle which engages in "brand war", i.e. competitive advertising. It must be one of those trucks whose sole purpose is to drag an advertisement down the road or park it in a prominent place. Now I'm going to see how close I came.
	♥ 1:41pm Jan Turkenburg: from mine as well, I remember he was grumpy because actually he was caught red-handed in his old age. It seems he first just hang up the phone, when confronted
	♥ 1:43pm Jan Turkenburg: Listener Robert "weer" means "defence" (in this context) "vuur" means fire and wagen is car/truck/wagon.
	♥ 1:43pm coelacanth∅: oh man, haha! it's sad though. it's just a tiny spot on my respect for him though.
	1:44pm worldsworstrecords: Is this the Beatlecover?
	1:45pm worldsworstrecords: well, that answers that!
	1:45pm Mr Fab: I remember you did that "Venus" special, Jan when you discussed that controversy. I wonder why Tim Rose and the Big 3 never said anything? They must have known about 'Venus," it went to #1 in the US.
	1:46pm Domenic: The Beatles done right!
	♥ 1:47pm Jan Turkenburg: this conversation is the end of the track. Next track being a Dutch language version of Yesterday, which i previously overlooked, because of the title.
	1:47pm Listener Robert: Thanks, JT, but it looks like the "brand" part of the word still had to be accounted for, so I did some research. We do have an archaic word in English, "brand" for the same meaning it apparently has in Dutch, which means our word "firebrand" is redundant.
	♥ 1:47pm coelacanth∅: why did Jake Holmes let dazed & confused go by?
	♥ 1:48pm coelacanth∅: i have the banjo song cued up for later... but i wouldn't be surprised if that is derivative of something before it.
	♥ 1:49pm Jan Turkenburg: the lyrics actually are
	♥ 1:49pm coelacanth∅: (this sounds a little like "paper sun")
	♥ 1:50pm Jan Turkenburg: "I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my ..."
	♥ 1:50pm Beany: Earth & Fire! I once owned their very rare LP. Still have it on CD.
	♥ 1:50pm coelacanth∅: maybe that's why they didn't try to sue
	1:51pm worldsworstrecords: The lyrics to Tim Rose's The Banjo Song are a steal of Oh Susannah: maybe he didn't want to get sued himself?
	♥ 1:51pm HyperDose: Hey Jan, Fab, Darryl and coel!
	♥ 1:51pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Beany, which one?
	1:51pm worldsworstrecords: ...great minds!
	♥ 1:51pm Beany: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:52pm Beany: Sold in a moment of madness...
	1:52pm worldsworstrecords: A THOUSAND POUNDS???
	♥ 1:52pm Jan Turkenburg: Yes, that one is hard to obtain as LP. I only have it digitally too
	♥ 1:53pm Beany: Early Roger Dean sleeve.
	1:53pm Mr Fab: I just read that Tim Rose swiped "Hey Joe," giving himself writing credit, even tho it had already been recorded by a number of bands. So yeah, i can see why he wouldn't go after Shocking Blue, haha.
	♥ 1:53pm coelacanth∅: holy crap! if i had that album i'd have a moment of madness right about now
	1:55pm worldsworstrecords: yes, Hey Joe had been around for a while too. He was a terrible plagiarist!
	♥ 1:56pm David in California: Jan, thank you for today's show, and for the French songs you play on Sounds Under 64 Not Allowed.
