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

![]() 1991 was the year punk broke things so 1992 is when things got buried in the shadows of broken punk stuff. |

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. |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() 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. |

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. | |

![]() |
![]() good afternoon everyone! |
![]() |
![]() Her EP was the first record for which I payed more than 100 Dutch guilders. Lovely sleeve. |
![]() |
![]() 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 |
![]() |
![]() 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. |
![]() |
![]() I like "Le Coer A Bout Des Doigts" even more |

@Listener James: Yeah, someone with some real talent and inspiration might sample that intro and create something way cool... | |
![]() |
![]() 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? |

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

![]() Prefer the version by Tiffany & The Thoughts |
![]() |
![]() @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. |

@P-90 , sighhh yeah i'm probably demented enough :/ |
![]() |
![]() 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..." . |
![]() |
![]() wait... where was that? i'm in a redwood forest in ncal... i totally missed dungen somewhere near me. fml. |
![]() |
![]() @chris - If you smell forest fire smoke, seek shelter immediately! |
![]() |
![]() I hope she's gonna play Lea Riders Group: Dom kallar os mods and Namelosers: Do-ao |
![]() |
![]() @melinda, that is news to me! |
![]() |
![]() It's ok, Slick. Most of us are probably demented enough for such an endeavor. |
![]() |
![]() if i smell forest fire smoke, its indistinguishable from the smell of my redwood house... so my shelter might also be on fire, Ken |
![]() |
![]() Yikes. Let's hope that drought is over someday. |
Fri. 6/17/16 4:45pm
SeanG:
great stuff | |
![]() |
![]() Agreed! If he's not already listening, Tony Coulter might want to hit the archive to hear these tracks! |
![]() |
![]() @Michael 98145: it's over for the moment. It snow flurried in the Sierra Nevadas yesterday. Unheard of. |
![]() |
![]() 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... |
![]() |
![]() Good stuff, DJ Sam! Have you heard of Urban Turban? |
![]() |
![]() its actually raining a bit here, today... not much, but things are wet... feels tropical |
![]() |
![]() Hansson & Karlsson famously wrote a song called 'Tax Free' that Hendrix liked to jam on. |
![]() |
![]() you all sure need the snow and rain. guess PHX is gonna be hot this weekend; maybe not THIS hot: www.youtube.com... |
![]() |
![]() Tax Free was also the name of the band of Wally Tax (singer of Dutch band The Outsiders) |

![]() Unbelievable this was made in '68 |
![]() |
![]() Damn, this is some awesome stuff. |
![]() |
![]() The only band in Holland that did things like that in '68 was Group 1850 |
![]() |
![]() Perfectly believable to me, just not that it came from Sweden. Sounds straight out of Haight Ashbury. |

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. |
![]() |
![]() I thought Sam Swig was Swedish! Apparently she isn't. So instead of "tusind tak" I better say Thank you a 1000 times |
![]() |
![]() Killer! |
![]() |
![]() Uh-maze-ing |
![]() |
![]() 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 |
