♥ 3:07pm djsheilab:

@Duke It's Julien Lourau.

♥ 3:08pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Lovely...supposedly, Michelle Obama's dress the other night was marigold color. Very sophisticated, too, I hear.

♥ 3:09pm JtotheK:

hi everyone.

♥ 3:10pm duke:

@djsheilab Thanks!

3:10pm modchick65:

Musical Calgon, take me away.

♥ 3:10pm V Priceless:

Hallo!

3:10pm JakeGould:

Hey!

3:11pm Brendan:

She references the album Patchwork in the first verse. Now thats a concept album.

3:11pm Brendan:

Hi djsheilab

♥ 3:11pm djsheilab:

Hello V Priceless, Modchick 65, JttheK, JakeGould, Ken from Hyde Park, Listener James from Westwood, Guido from Cologne, Brijet, and Brendan!

♥ 3:12pm βrian:

Looked like ochre to me.

♥ 3:12pm Adrian in London:

Evening Sheila and SBBoomers! We've got friends round so can't chat much on this board but we're listening and loving it!

♥ 3:15pm djsheilab:

My intention with this set is warmth, love, comfort and all good things. It's been a sad week.

♥ 3:16pm V Priceless:

abowie to that, djsheilab!

3:16pm JakeGould:

Yes, it has been a sad week. And on top of it all, R.I.P. Grizzly Adams (aka: Dan Haggerty).

3:17pm TehBadDr:

This is just what I need this afternoon, thanx!

♥ 3:17pm V Priceless:

yeah, the hits just keep on coming

♥ 3:17pm JtotheK:

nice choice, this Bettye Scott is a solid 45!

♥ 3:18pm SeanG:

this song right now

3:18pm modchick65:

"I Can Hear Music" by the Beach Boys is exactly what I needed today.

♥ 3:20pm Guido from Cologne:

i'd expected you'd play the Ronettes' version

♥ 3:20pm listener james from westwood:

@Shelia, those are the best of reasons. It's working.

3:20pm modchick65:

And now Amelia Fletcher. Perfect.

3:20pm LightningsGirl:

Viva Heavenly!

3:22pm JakeGould:

I need this comforting music: Apparently there’s a “Friends” reunion in the works. Pray for us all.

3:25pm modchick65:

And now "Good Good Lovin'"! @djsheilab is ON FIRE.

3:26pm modchick65:

I want to live in this set.

3:26pm P-90:

Lots of warmth, love, and comfort indeed in this set.
Much needed, thanks!

♥ 3:32pm listener james from westwood:

Always dig hearing FMU DJs' show-composition processes!

♥ 3:33pm Guido from Cologne:

funny i really started to love the song because of the Ronettes' version ... hahaha ...
(the Beach Boys recording was played a hundered times a month on our WDR-radio in the early 80ies, so it had got a bit on my nerves).

3:33pm LightningsGirl:

Hang in there lady! When I did my Trish memorial show on air 5 years ago I could not keep it together on air. It was so tough. You are doing great!

3:35pm KP:

Promise & the Monster ... good!

3:37pm spidermank:

thanks djsheilab , beautiful selection. I got in the hot bath as your set started and just got out of that "warm hug on a cold day" as you so eloquently put it.

♥ 3:41pm βrian:

Chair!

3:42pm meh-face:

Chair :)

3:42pm modchick65:

Cher reminds me of when I was a child. I was obsessed with her and Sonny's variety show. Wonderful.

♥ 3:43pm βrian:

Les plaisirs de la Cher.

3:46pm modchick65:

I remember seeing her album cover for "Take Me Home" in JC Pennys back in the day. It freaked me out.

♥ 3:46pm Julie:

I love this Bjork album so much

♥ 3:47pm listener james from westwood:

Ooh, this Björk album is a good'un.

♥ 3:47pm chris:

Hi, djsheilab, all! <3 this album!

♥ 3:49pm djsheilab:

This song is so understated. Love her more subtle moments.

3:50pm The Contessa:

Sneaked out to say hello Sheila and everyone else :-)

♥ 3:52pm Julie:

oh my god Julie Felix!!

♥ 3:52pm djsheilab:

@The Contessa I love that you're sneaking out of your own party : )

3:52pm statoj:

Hi Sheilab, sorry I have been MIA for the last couple of weeks. So glad to have your show to come home to. As sad as this week has been (Bowie AND Alan Rickman) it has been wonderful to listen to all the special shows on WFMU. xx

♥ 3:56pm djsheilab:

Nice to see you here @statoj! A week's full of mind-blowing programming here at WFMU indeed! Kurt Gottschalk did a 6 hour Bowie special! I saw him just afterwards.

3:57pm statoj:

I was enjoying Fabio's Bowie show yesterday.

♥ 4:00pm chris:

"Come to Me" has such a lush and delicious vibe to it, and was thinking about how Cibo Matto managed to capture some of that feeling the following year with "Sugar Water"... Michel Gondry worked with both to come up with some amazing music videos as well.

♥ 4:01pm listener james from westwood:

Hell yeah that gat is visible. I want to see the anime this would be a soundtrack to.

4:02pm Brendan:

Hey sailor buy you a few rounds ?

♥ 4:02pm chris:

what a bad ass!

♥ 4:03pm Sullivan Ballou:

Great uplifting show Sheila! Takk!

4:05pm modchick65:

We put out a Bang Gang record back in the day (at my old label). Loved their cover of "Stop In The Name Of Love."

♥ 4:09pm Guido from Cologne:

love this

4:09pm Cooh John:

Hello djsheilab and boom boomers. A happy way to start my day, my weekend, my year.

4:15pm modchick65:

Love the Girls-Singing-About-The-Beatles records. There's one called "The Boy With The Beatle Hair" from the Cameo-Parkway boxset that is fabulous.

4:15pm statoj:

Oh my gawd! Maureen! I could have written this! I wrote Maureen a "fan" letter back when she married Ringo, giving her my "permission"- what can I say? I was a Ringo freak!

4:16pm sugarwolf:

hello! The year had a good start but now it's all blehhhh.

There's always love and friendships though.

♥ 4:19pm djsheilab:

Hey @Sugarwolf! Happy you're here : )

♥ 4:19pm V Priceless:

nice DG version! Woo!

4:19pm modchick65:

Wow. That's... an album cover.

♥ 4:20pm Guido from Cologne:

Dana Gillespie ... her? ... OMG .. the cover!

4:20pm TehBadDr:

Yeah! That Album Cover Yowza!

♥ 4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...as Paul's 'grandfather' said - I'll bet you're a great swimmer...

4:21pm meh-face:

Jeez Dana, chill it with the boobs

♥ 4:21pm Julie:

is that Dana just a single? Does she have a whole album?

♥ 4:22pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hey, it's the What Four and not the Unknown Artist!

♥ 4:26pm Guido from Cologne:

tons of albums:
www.discogs.com...

♥ 4:27pm V Priceless:

nice bongos on that Andy Warhol cover ; )

4:27pm modchick65:

1966 has the best sound.

4:28pm statoj:

Revolution Rabbit: Ha! But he's very clean...

4:30pm The Contessa:

Hello @Ken I'm sure you'd like to know that it's FREEZING in London

♥ 4:31pm Sullivan Ballou:

Daisies is good but not as good as Celine and Julie Go Boating - French, 70s.

♥ 4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...disputed if Lennon actually said that or not (kind of his style, but would he?)

4:34pm Andy in Berlin:

Sorry I missed Dana Gillespie. You could however play Lulu's cover of Man Who Sold The World. I doubt the cover looks that wild though.

4:35pm The Disco King:

Your an expert for me, Sheila!

4:35pm steve:

wow i am on board for this music video

♥ 4:36pm djsheilab:

Here it is friends! www.youtube.com...

♥ 4:36pm Julie:

K pop, keeping disco alive

♥ 4:37pm Baumer!:

Late to the party but it sounds like I arrived just in time. Happy Friday boom boomers

♥ 4:38pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@The Contessa - That's too bad. It's well above freezing today, but will be cold early next week. I need to find a party that I can sneak into right about now.

4:41pm The Contessa:

@Ken please come round!

4:42pm modchick65:

"Bang, bang, bang on the wall from dusk til dawn." This reminds me of an old neighbor who who would play Ladyhawke at full volume in her apartment. From dusk to dawn.

4:43pm modchick65:

David Bowie's "Modern Love." Thank you, David Bowie, for, among other things, contributing to the best junior high dance music ever.

♥ 4:44pm listener james from westwood:

As odd as this sounds, I don't think I've heard this Bowie cut all week. If Kurt G played it, I may have been in the loo. Glad to hear it now! This album was my entry point on his work.

4:45pm P-90:

From the ONLY period of Bowie's career that I don't love. But I can live with it...

4:46pm MONEYBAG$:

just realized that despite having heard this song a million times, I have never known all the words

4:46pm Dan:

long live Bowie!... and Sheila B of course!!!

4:46pm meh-face:

Church on time!

4:46pm The Disco King:

That's the thing about Bowie -- he never ceased doing things that he knew would alienate some segment or other of his audience.

♥ 4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...that video is soy good...

4:49pm steve:

i love the Ladyhawke artwork

♥ 4:50pm Guido from Cologne:

indeed mr. rev

♥ 4:51pm Guido from Cologne:

indestructible evergreen this etta track

4:53pm sugarwolf:

Saw your tweet about Samantha Fox. what an outrage!!!!

♥ 4:53pm Guido from Cologne:

Julie Discroll Springfield!
Does anyone know who did the arrenge ments?
Ivor Reymonde?
Greeeaaat song, great orchestra !!

4:55pm P-90:

@Disco King: he even managed to alienate himself at that point, for the rest of his life he never stopped "disowning" the Let's Dance/Glass Spider era. But: if you're Bowie, your "embarrassments" can be better that a lot of other artist's "successes"...

♥ 4:56pm Guido from Cologne:

"Gomelsky produced" does not say much.
He managed, and took the tapes to paris in order to bootleg the track on BYG-Records and other Charly precursors. I don't think he did sth. technickally.

4:56pm The Disco King:

Unfortunately, I started to become aware musically right around the Let's Dance era. Which was more than enough to deter one from digging behind the 8 or 9 hits from the 70s one heard incessantly on "album-oriented rock" stations at the time (and hence, from uncovering the true genius of his work during that era, which lay behind those major hits).

♥ 4:57pm Bronwyn Bishop:

So wonderful to hear I Can Hear Music! And Bjork. And Bowie :(

♥ 4:58pm Guido from Cologne:

Bowie said that Let's Dance was his low point artistically (if i gfot it right)

♥ 4:58pm Bronwyn Bishop:

And now Francoise! You are killing it today Shelia!

♥ 4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Lots of Artists are misrepresented by the three songs Commercial Radio plays (after all). One way Bowie is actually like TheWh♂: lotsa people especially younger wondering what the fuss is...

4:59pm sugarwolf:

Françoise! She has a birthday coming up and she's been ill so.... I'm a little worried!!!

♥ 5:00pm Adrian in London:

@sugarwolf I know! I can't even begin to think about that…

5:01pm The Disco King:

It would be just too much to lose Françoise now, also.

5:01pm JakeGould:

@GuidoFromCologne: David Bowie on Let’s Dance: “I wonder how many Velvet Underground albums these people have in their record collections?' I suddenly felt very apart from my audience. And it was depressing, because I didn't know what they wanted.” en.wikipedia.org...

♥ 5:03pm V Priceless:

Gong rules!

5:03pm P-90:

Love that Francoise Hardy cover too.

5:03pm modchick65:

@JakeGould Well, I was only 12 at the time, so I didn't have any. But because I developed a love for David Bowie from those songs, I was put on a path to later acquire some Velvet Underground records.

5:03pm ?:

Gilli Smyth is the jam!

♥ 5:04pm Guido from Cologne:

magma rules! (also Gomesky protegees)

♥ 5:04pm Guido from Cologne:

:-)

5:04pm JakeGould:

@modchick65: Pretty much in agreement; I was a teen in 1983 anyway so pop is pop. That album led to me getting “Changes One” and “Changes Two” and then lead me to other things.

5:05pm The Disco King:

The 80s seemed to do a number on a lot of people, musically.

♥ 5:06pm JtotheK:

I love the Modern Love tune...and when I hear it now I think of how it's used in Frances Ha. Thanks for playing it!

5:06pm modchick65:

@JakeGould. Totally. That said, while I love records like Low and Scary Monsters, "Modern Love" remains probably my favorite song by him... just because of the time/place memories.

5:07pm The Disco King:

But anything from Bowie gives me goosebumps now. Thanks for playing that, Sheila.

♥ 5:08pm Adrian in London:

@TheDiscoKing It's nigh on impossible to listen to Where Are We Now? without completely melting down now.

5:09pm Parq:

If anybody's interested in the dope (OK, I'm going to hell for that one) on the movie SB was talking about:
www.imdb.com...

♥ 5:11pm listener james from westwood:

This feels very sweetly wintry.

5:11pm The Disco King:

@Adrian, don't get me started. Oh in half of those facial shots (which we used to tone down, because they were everywhere, all the time), it's like he's looking right at you.

♥ 5:12pm JtotheK:

@sheilab - i was tuned in via the app for that last set -- bowie/adorables/etta james were great back-to-back-to-back! I hadn't heard The Adorables before...

♥ 5:12pm chris:

we should use this album cover as inspiration to get naked in the woods more often this year... maybe wait until its a bit warmer, for best results

♥ 5:12pm Guido from Cologne:

Anyway royalties from "China Girl" helpesd Iggy throug certain hard times in the 80ies, without contract etc. ...

5:12pm The Disco King:

(been doing lots of image searching these past few days)

♥ 5:13pm listener monica:

Sheila, i recommend a film called "The Cuckoo." ps welcome to the world of Gong!

5:14pm SwanGone:

Gong is tight but the first Gilli Smyth solo LP is where it's at if you ask me!

♥ 5:15pm djsheilab:

Thank you @SwanGone, I can't wait to dig into this new world of Gong + Gilli Smyth.

5:15pm The Disco King:

@Guido - right, the last thing we should do is be resentful of artists for making money once in a while. Especially when nearly all of them have had their share of rough times, $-wise.

♥ 5:15pm djsheilab:

Thanks @listener Monica. Will check it out.

♥ 5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...hell - 'Let's Dance' has Stevie Ray Vauahan on it - not bad for your lowest point...which reminds me I was once in the same place @ the same time as Bowie once - watching StevieRay & Jeff Beck...

♥ 5:18pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Yay Mancini! So pretty :)

♥ 5:18pm listener james from westwood:

Aw, hell yesss to Mancini.

5:19pm modchick65:

"Moon River" YES.

♥ 5:19pm V Priceless:

sniffle

♥ 5:20pm Guido from Cologne:

got quite a stack of mancini in my shelves.
Consider "tarantula", "Arabesque", etc. :-)

5:20pm The Disco King:

BTW, in his spare time -- almost as an afterthought, it would seem -- he was an amazing painter, too: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/388013324116952052/

♥ 5:20pm JtotheK:

Grant Green has a great cover of Moon River, I don't have the LP...it's on the comp 'Grant Green the Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark'...

♥ 5:21pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Sandie Shaw was so great, I love this!

5:21pm modchick65:

Annnnnnd Sandie Shaw. Sheila is KILLING IT!

♥ 5:22pm djsheilab:

Thanks @modchick65 + all listening!!! You guys are so lovely.

♥ 5:22pm V Priceless:

@ The Disco King - Peter Frampton's dad was one of his art teachers in school

♥ 5:23pm Guido from Cologne:

I think flipside of "Puppet" is one of her greatest ("Had A Dream last Night"), kind of soft ska with bossa feel on it

5:23pm Andy in Berlin:

Thank you, Sheila!

5:24pm KP:

Oh, no

5:25pm The Disco King:

@VP - thanks, everything about that crowd and that era fascinates me.

♥ 5:26pm listener james from westwood:

Dug the Lulu!! The one cover I haven't heard yet this week has been Nirvana's, of this cut, and I'm glad, b/c the double-punch of Bowie and Cobain would fucking wreck me.

5:27pm Cecile:

didn't bowie take peter Frampton on tour with him for a while when Frampton was trying to get some traction in the music biz again?

5:27pm The Disco King:

BTW, the NYT today on his painting: http://nyti.ms/1OlPFaD

♥ 5:28pm V Priceless:

Frampton played guitar on the Glass Spider tour, '87

5:28pm Todd-o-phonic:

This Geminis 45 is SWEET! I just checked and I have 2 of their 45's, but neither is this one. AAARGH!!!

♥ 5:29pm V Priceless:

I remember he sang the bridge verses on "Sons of The Silent Age" - very cool

♥ 5:29pm Adrian in London:

I presume evryone saw this Owen pallet post on Bowie? www.facebook.com...

5:30pm The Disco King:

Ah, this would be good to do karaoke to!

♥ 5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

'Bowie & Frampton looking for a beer in Madrid 1987' :
www.youtube.com...

♥ 5:30pm V Priceless:

thanks for NYT link, TDK

5:30pm Cecile:

Arcade Fire and Preservation Hall Jazz band are doing a 2nd line for Bowie.

5:31pm modchick65:

You can't go wrong with a song about lollipops.

♥ 5:31pm Guido from Cologne:

Hey.
hehehe just noticed the German!
Thanks Sheila!

♥ 5:31pm V Priceless:

ha Rev Rab...great!

5:32pm The Disco King:

Bravo, Guido!

5:34pm The Disco King:

@Adrian - thanks, will analyze

5:35pm Cecile:

I have to say that on NYE I did not leave the dance floor when "uptown funk", "get lucky" and "yeah" were played all in a row.

5:36pm Cecile:

never apologize, never explain.

5:36pm modchick65:

Ha. I learned about Dusty Springfield from the Pet Shop Boys. But I didn't really like that song. That song was like the Berlin "Take My Breath Away" of the Pet Shop Boys.

5:36pm The Disco King:

@Cecile: the DJ's motto!

♥ 5:37pm Michael Shelley:

Groovy show!

5:37pm Cecile:

I learned about her through the Bay City Rollers back in the day.

♥ 5:37pm Adrian in London:

Just came across this but haven't read it yet; the amazing soaring Chris Roberts on Bowie thequietus.com...

♥ 5:37pm Baumer!:

God I love this show.

5:38pm modchick65:

This Samantha Fox song was always a guilty pleasure. It's a really good song.

♥ 5:39pm Guido from Cologne:

Cecile is right!
No need to apologize!
You're fun on the mike Sheila!
Very lively, very entertaining, very fun!

5:39pm Cecile:

and the great full force

♥ 5:39pm timurf:

most people recognize Samantha Fox for her raw musical talent. but only true fans appreciate that she also had one righteous pair of hooters

5:40pm Cecile:

Sheila, you're the anti-me. That's probably a good thing.

♥ 5:40pm listener james from westwood:
