Listener comments!

♥ 3:03pm Michael 98145:

Ah, that beautiful Chaplin song. How appropriate.

♥ 3:03pm JP from KC:

Ahh, lovely start Sheila B! Good afternoon!

3:03pm Matt in Hillsborough:

YEAH SHEILA

3:03pm david from ks.:

,,,,,,Start with CLASS !!

♥ 3:03pm Carmichael:

Aloha Sheila and boomers.

3:04pm geezerette:

Pefect! :)

♥ 3:04pm listener james from westwood:

Afternoon, Sheila and all!!

♥ 3:05pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I pledge allegiance to the Boom!

♥ 3:05pm JtotheK:

good afternoon SheilaB, hello boom-boomers.

3:07pm P-90:

佳作シーラに挨拶し、今日は素晴らしいラジオ番組を期待しています！

3:07pm JakeGould:

That was a nice sounding theme song right there!

♥ 3:08pm djsheilab:

Hey everyone! Kindness + gentleness is guiding me through the week and so I chose songs that fit those qualities.

♥ 3:09pm djsheilab:

"Smile" really says it all, doesn't it?

3:10pm P-90:

Go kindness! Go gentleness!

♥ 3:10pm Michael 98145:

we expect no less from DJ Sheila

3:13pm yvang:

hello! c'est la vie!

♥ 3:13pm ChrisB.:

Pale Saints have a very Ivy-ish vibe.

♥ 3:13pm listener james from westwood:

Where the hell was I in 1992 that I missed this lovely track?

3:13pm Nina:

I love your show, Sheila B! Yes to kindness + gentleness!

3:14pm JakeGould:

1991 was the year punk broke things so 1992 is when things got buried in the shadows of broken punk stuff.

3:14pm yvang:

when everyone sounded like mbv

3:16pm geezerette:

Just realized Tame Impala are the Australian Boy version of Pale Saints.

♥ 3:16pm djsheilab:

Thank you @Nina! That's nice to hear. Wasn't that Pale Saints song lovely? @Listener James. @Yvang Definitely the MBV era! I was 14-15 at the time and obsessed with all those dreamy British bands.

♥ 3:17pm listener james from westwood:

1992 was actually the year I was intro'd to WFMU, so that year wasn't entirely devoid of important musical education on my part.

3:18pm JakeGould:

Early 1990s British dream pop/shoegaze/whatever became an afterthought after grunge became a thing which is sad because lots of good stuff came out back then.

3:19pm geezerette:

This sweetness is exactly what's needed.

♥ 3:20pm Michael 98145:

Sandy Denny! Thank you.

3:20pm JakeGould:

Not only do I like this Sandy Denny song, but the artwork to “Gather in the Mushrooms” is pretty nice. Bonus points for the dove gazing upwards with a leaf in it’s beak.

3:21pm mark r:

Really think your show is setting the right tone in light of the mood of the country this week, Sheila. Thank you.

♥ 3:23pm djsheilab:

@mark r I appreciate you saying that. Thank you :)

♥ 3:23pm JtotheK:

cool, The Webs!

3:24pm Cooh John:

djsheilab wailin' it.

3:24pm geezerette:

Sheila, this show is really inspired and inspiring.

♥ 3:28pm JtotheK:

haven't heard this Chris Clark before, nice one! (her "love's gone bad" 45 is also a good one.)

3:28pm Iceland:

I was travelling and heard of Icelandic Woman Pop Singer from 60's era, Elly Vilhjálms. Not sure if you have played her on this show, but worth a look. She had local hits and did remakes in Icelandic of some folk songs like "Blowin in the Wind", etc. There are a couple songs of hers on youtube.

3:30pm JakeGould:

Awesome story!

3:30pm geezerette:

Oh Sheila!

3:31pm geezerette:

Yes! Thank you for saying it out loud!!!

3:32pm mark r:

You got a right to speak your mind, Sheila--you ain't no human jukebox.

♥ 3:35pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Marge Simpson had a good idea with her S.N.U.H. association. Springfieldians for Nonviolence, Understanding, and Helping.

3:39pm P-90:

I LOVED Cox's video, sent links to a couple of friends. Highly recommended to everyone!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2kbPZataqQ

3:42pm P-90:

Wow, Natasha of Bat for Lashes has SOME set of pipes!

♥ 3:44pm djsheilab:

@P-90! Right? And she sounded exactly like the records live. Just perfect.

3:47pm david from ks.:

,,,,Almost started ta sound like Mary Wells !

3:48pm Tommy:

The good news is Sophisticated Boom Boom is on , the bad news is I can't go anywhere because Sophisticated Boom Boom is on..which may actually be good news too

♥ 3:49pm listener james from westwood:

Helen Kane!!

3:49pm geezerette:

Helen Kane!!!

3:50pm JakeGould:

Oh thank you for playing Helen Kane just now… Needed a boost after the last two decent (but downer) songs.

3:50pm P-90:

...Now plan to make sure to see Natasha Khan sing live whenever the opportunity arises. I could listen to her all night.

♥ 3:55pm ChrisB.:

Oh God, I covet this record!

4:00pm P-90:

Raquel Welch and Hanna-Barbera, a classic combo.

♥ 4:05pm Guido from Cologne:

jaqueline!

♥ 4:05pm Rob Kopp:

are you gonna play the single or the EP?

♥ 4:06pm Guido from Cologne:

sound too good for the ep

♥ 4:06pm djsheilab:

@Rob Kopp EP!!

4:07pm P-90:

Bienvenue @Guest DJ Sam!

♥ 4:07pm Guido from Cologne:

you must explain the lyrics for the non-french speaking audience.
:-)

♥ 4:08pm melinda:

good afternoon everyone!

♥ 4:09pm Rob Kopp:

Her EP was the first record for which I payed more than 100 Dutch guilders. Lovely sleeve.

♥ 4:11pm Rob Kopp:

There's also a 7" with the French version on the a-side and the English version 7 AM on the b-side. That one is in my jukebox

♥ 4:13pm listener james from westwood:

Holy crow, the intro to this Lake Ruth was dreamy. Whole song's a treat but good gods I just want to dive into that intro and explore for a 1000 years.

♥ 4:13pm Guido from Cologne:

I like "Le Coer A Bout Des Doigts" even more

4:14pm SeanG:

all right!

♥ 4:14pm djsheilab:

@Guido That's a pretty special one too. Haven't been able to find it. And it was the EP that I played. In pristine condition, as you could probably tell :) :) :)

4:15pm JakeGould:

Oh my God! Sheila is playing “Huey Lewis and the News!” Does WFMU have smelling salts somewhere in the building?

4:15pm yvang:

is this the embarrassing one?

4:15pm steve:

love when you get all 80s

♥ 4:16pm Sem Chumbo:

Follow up to *I Need a New Drug*

4:16pm P-90:

@Listener James: Yeah, someone with some real talent and inspiration might sample that intro and create something way cool...

♥ 4:16pm listener james from westwood:

Always feel like this Huey track was the music for an imaginary movie's set of end titles. Just has that "movie's over, all's well, feelin' good, send 'em out smiling" sound. Who wouldn't want life to be just like that?

4:16pm Slick Goldtooth:

Oh funk yeah, gotta have Huey Lewis

4:17pm MONEYBAG$:

had to turn this down while co-worker walked by

4:17pm P-90:

Hard (but not 100% impossible) to imagine Sheila playing this Huey on her own...

♥ 4:17pm djsheilab:

@Yvang Yup! And so many people are coming in and out of the studio as I play this. Of course it never happens when I play my "cool" records.

4:17pm Will:

Huey! Proof positive that our DJ has a wicked sense of humour. Happy to be stuck with you too Sheila.

♥ 4:17pm Carmichael:

Good Lord, living in SF in the 80s I was inundated with this. Still hurts to hear it now ...

4:17pm JakeGould:

@ListenerJamesfromWestwood: If you read up on Huey Lewis’s business style, he was always thinking about “the angle” on all his work.

♥ 4:18pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Hearing France Gall earlier made me smile!!!

4:20pm david from ks.:

,,,,doneed that diamond ring ta have that thang !!,,,,but it helps i guess !

♥ 4:21pm chris:

don't even get me started on huey's partner in crime johnny... jayzuss...

♥ 4:22pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Aww I love Barbara Fairchild

♥ 4:23pm Sem Chumbo:

Now, pants like those were what was happening, for one.

♥ 4:23pm listener james from westwood:

@Jake: It would not surprise me a bit. Good for him!

♥ 4:23pm Rob Kopp:

Prefer the version by Tiffany & The Thoughts

♥ 4:26pm melinda:

@James: your comment about the Huey Lewis reminded me of the Walk of Life Project. Have you checked it out? It inserts the Dire Straits song into all kinds of movies as the ending tune. It's hilarious.

4:28pm JakeGould:

Loving this “Spanish Boy.”

♥ 4:29pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Here is Devon E. Levins' show about The Walk of Life Project: www.wfmu.org...

4:30pm P-90:

If anyone's demented enough to want to check out "A Swingin' Summer" with Raquel Welch, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, etc:

www.amc.com/video-extras/a-swingin-summer

♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145:

Welcome, guest DJ

4:32pm Slick Goldtooth:

@P-90 , sighhh yeah i'm probably demented enough :/

♥ 4:33pm JtotheK:

SheilaB: come on, you could play the 45 reissue of Rita and the Tiaras 'Gone With the Wind Is My Love' and humbly claim "yeah, that's one of my spares of that 45, I've got a bunch but I can't be bothered to find them, ho hum la di da..." .

♥ 4:34pm chris:

wait... where was that? i'm in a redwood forest in ncal... i totally missed dungen somewhere near me. fml.

♥ 4:36pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@chris - If you smell forest fire smoke, seek shelter immediately!

♥ 4:37pm Rob Kopp:

I hope she's gonna play Lea Riders Group: Dom kallar os mods and Namelosers: Do-ao

♥ 4:38pm listener james from westwood:

@melinda, that is news to me!

♥ 4:40pm JP from KC:

It's ok, Slick. Most of us are probably demented enough for such an endeavor.

♥ 4:40pm chris:

if i smell forest fire smoke, its indistinguishable from the smell of my redwood house... so my shelter might also be on fire, Ken

♥ 4:41pm Michael 98145:

Yikes. Let's hope that drought is over someday.

4:45pm SeanG:

great stuff

♥ 4:47pm listener james from westwood:

Agreed! If he's not already listening, Tony Coulter might want to hit the archive to hear these tracks!

♥ 4:47pm Carmichael:

@Michael 98145: it's over for the moment. It snow flurried in the Sierra Nevadas yesterday. Unheard of.

♥ 4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah - great ! The Dungen up top reminds me of those tracks on every Freakbeat comp that indicate Prog is on the way (not @ all a slight). Reminded also of Jacco Gardner...whom I believe is Dutch...

♥ 4:48pm Carmichael:

Good stuff, DJ Sam! Have you heard of Urban Turban?

♥ 4:48pm chris:

its actually raining a bit here, today... not much, but things are wet... feels tropical

♥ 4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hansson & Karlsson famously wrote a song called 'Tax Free' that Hendrix liked to jam on.

♥ 4:49pm Michael 98145:

you all sure need the snow and rain.

guess PHX is gonna be hot this weekend; maybe not THIS hot:
www.youtube.com...

♥ 4:50pm Rob Kopp:

Tax Free was also the name of the band of Wally Tax (singer of Dutch band The Outsiders)

♥ 4:50pm cory:

this is so good, thanks DJ Sam Swig

♥ 4:50pm Michael 98145:

what cory said

4:52pm JakeGould:

Really nice guest spot right here. Kudos Sam Swig!

♥ 4:53pm djsheilab:

Thanks for all the love for Sam! I'm reading her all the comments :)

♥ 4:53pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Tell Sam she has the best taste in Swedish psych of anyone I know :)

♥ 4:54pm Bronwyn Bishop:

Not that I literally know her of course

♥ 4:55pm Rob Kopp:

Tusind tak

♥ 4:56pm Carmichael:

Flastek Brinner clicky starred!!

♥ 4:58pm Guido from Cologne:

Really dig this!
All clicky stars!
Thanks for the introduction into an unknown world!

4:58pm geezerette:

Total agreement,Sam Swig has terrific taste.

4:58pm Rory:

Diggin' today's show.

♥ 4:58pm Michael 98145:

My translator thinks Fläsket Brinner means Pork on Fire

♥ 4:59pm Rob Kopp:

Unbelievable this was made in '68

♥ 5:00pm listener james from westwood:

Damn, this is some awesome stuff.

♥ 5:01pm Rob Kopp:

The only band in Holland that did things like that in '68 was Group 1850

♥ 5:01pm Carmichael:

Perfectly believable to me, just not that it came from Sweden. Sounds straight out of Haight Ashbury.

♥ 5:01pm Michael 98145:

certainly never heard ANY of this before

5:01pm P-90:

1968: The GREATEST year.

♥ 5:01pm chris:

yay for this set! whoa!

♥ 5:01pm Rob Kopp:

No: 1966!

5:02pm P-90:

1966: The Runner-up.

5:02pm rw:

And they're called, Baby Grandmothers.

♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145:

at the risk of sounding like a broken record, Geez i love WFMU

5:04pm P-90:

Killin' it, @DJ Sam! Thanks!

5:05pm Layet Johnson:

I've kicked it with Sam in LA, she rules!!!

♥ 5:05pm chris:

killer! woot!!!!!!!

♥ 5:05pm Michael 98145:

Träd Gräs och Stenar - Trees, Grass and Stones

5:06pm Matt in Hillsborough:

holy moley: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/zGgAAOSwX~dWmYMO/s-l300.jpg

♥ 5:10pm Rob Kopp:

It was so long ago?

5:12pm Rory:

Hope you play November. Great band!

5:12pm Slick Goldtooth:

Digging this set, also it kinda makes a lot of sense where a lot of the Swede blues-y rock, psch rock, stoner metal bands got some domestic influence.

♥ 5:13pm Rob Kopp:

I thought Sam Swig was Swedish! Apparently she isn't. So instead of "tusind tak" I better say Thank you a 1000 times

♥ 5:15pm Guido from Cologne:

Killer!

5:15pm Cheri Pi:

Uh-maze-ing

♥ 5:15pm Rob Kopp:

I haven't heard this kind of music on the radio since Ad Visser's Superclean Dream Machine, a Dutch radio programme end 60's/start 70's

♥ 5:16pm Carmichael:

Dang, this stuff is right in my wheelhouse. I was born in the 50s ...

♥ 5:16pm JtotheK:

enjoying the Sam Swig set very much. thanks!

♥ 5:16pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Sam Swig on Mixcloud - www.mixcloud.com...

5:16pm Rory:

Yess!! Thank you Sam!

5:16pm Will:

I think I took the brown acid!

5:16pm Slick Goldtooth:

Kinda wish I had a jazz cigarette right now...just sayin'

5:18pm Clay Pigeon:

Liking this November - Sabbath meets Cream sounding. Great show Sheila B.

♥ 5:20pm Rob Kopp:

In Holland this kind of music is only played late in the evening or at night (and right now it's 23:20 in NL)

5:22pm geezerette:

I am loving this,m-a-a-a-a-a-an. ::::::::D

♥ 5:23pm Guido from Cologne:

Lea Rider

♥ 5:23pm Rob Kopp:

aah. What I asked for!

♥ 5:24pm Guido from Cologne:

Finally something we know. (pebbles 3)

♥ 5:24pm djsheilab:

Thanks @Guido

♥ 5:25pm cory:

i once bought a soft-core swedish "porn" just for the music. the seduction of inga. horrid movie, cool music.

♥ 5:25pm Guido from Cologne:

What is it?
"They're calling us mods?"

♥ 5:25pm listener james from westwood:

The music you can pull off of 60s and 70s skin flicks is sometimes stunningly good.

♥ 5:27pm Rob Kopp:

@P-90: also from 1968

♥ 5:27pm djsheilab:

@Guido It's called "They call us misfits."

♥ 5:27pm djsheilab:

Thank you for all your amazing comments for Sam!!!

5:28pm mark r:

I have to confess I'm completely unfamiliar with this artist, and this is way cool!

5:29pm Slick Goldtooth:

Any of you ever listen to Graveyard?

♥ 5:30pm cory:

i used to get stoned with some kids that lived in a graveyard. does that count?

5:32pm Cheri Pi:

I love Graveyard

♥ 5:34pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Sam-phisticated Boom Boom!

♥ 5:35pm chris:

i am blown away... hell yeah.. so awesome.

5:35pm Tommy:

Thank you Sam Swig for donating your time , money effort etc....for the FMU cause ( to control the world) or at least make it a better place

♥ 5:35pm Rob Kopp:

Sam: I recommend Swedish lessons! Or don't you wanna know WHAT they're singing and is it just the music you prefer?

♥ 5:36pm michaelz:

Just wanted to make sure that all listeners are subscribed to Sheila's cha cha charming communiqués. This month's was particularly moving with a wonderful film recommendation. Sam's set was amazing and perfect for a Friday afternoon.

♥ 5:36pm Carmichael:

@LJFW: Mike Bloomfield performed a lot of porn soundtracks in the 70s.

5:36pm Rory:

Thx! Great show!

♥ 5:36pm Rob Kopp:

Thanks Sam

♥ 5:37pm listener james from westwood:

w00t! Pet Shop Boys!!!

5:38pm drewo:

Life is peaceful here. Mostly. Thanks for a great show Sheila.

5:39pm steve:

yeah!

♥ 5:39pm listener james from westwood:

@michaelz: How does one subscribe to such messages? Intrigued!
@Carmichael: Very interesting; always good to be able to create and earn in a couple of different worlds (see also, Huey Lewis as described above)

5:39pm P-90:

Awesome! Thanks so much @ DJ Sam! Come back some time and do more!

♥ 5:40pm djsheilab:

@P-90 I shall definitely have her back!

5:41pm geezerette:

This show was a work of art Sheila!

♥ 5:41pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Great set from Sam (thanks!), but I'm hungry for Swedish meatballs now.

♥ 5:42pm listener james from westwood:

And Joe Bataan!!

♥ 5:44pm michaelz:

Dear James from Westood: Via Sheila's blog (I think): www.chachacharming.com...

♥ 5:44pm cory:
