♥ 3:05pm JtotheK:

hi sheilaB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! salutations boom-boomers.

3:05pm northguineahills:

I don't know why I like this Holmes and Cracknell, but it has a sharp trip-hop appeal to it. Not my usual thing, but totally digworthy!

♥ 3:06pm Rob Kopp:

Shangrila's You can never go home anymore?

♥ 3:06pm JtotheK:

wait a minute...this Holmes/Cracknell was remixed by Kruder & Dorfmeister... huh. never heard the original!

♥ 3:06pm Adrian in London:

Good evening @DJSheilaB and BBers everywhere

3:06pm Bobby:

I am with you, Sheila B and crew

3:07pm djsheilab:

Good day @The Contessa @Michael 98145 @Brian @jerry h. @Brian Cat @JtotheK @Anonymous Coward @zmmz @RobKopp @Adrian in London + @northguineahills! 8 minute songs allow me to say a proper hello to everyone!

3:07pm djsheilab:

And hello @Bobby! Glad you're all with me today.

♥ 3:08pm Kevin-san:

this is a great sound for a muggy summer Friday afternoon, mmm

♥ 3:08pm JtotheK:

@NGH - if you dig this and haven't heard the 'K&D Sessions' remixes - it's worth checking out...similar vibe. even a bone thugs 1st of the month remix...

♥ 3:08pm Michael 98145:

( super-loving my DJ Sheila-Produced CD and premium ! :)

3:08pm northguineahills:

I could probably look it up in the time I type this, but what album was this "Gone" track on?

3:09pm northguineahills:

Thanks JtotheK!

3:09pm djsheilab:

@Kevin-san I figured a muggy summer afternoon was in our future, so I planned accordingly :)

♥ 3:10pm Passaic River Blues:

@NGH: Holmes had a pretty good run in the 90s before he concentrated on films. This is from his first album--can't remember the name of it.

3:10pm jerry h.:

TGIS !

♥ 3:11pm Michael 98145:

ah - www.instagram.com...

3:11pm northguineahills:

Will do so PRR, danks!

3:12pm The Contessa:

This is so dreamy and great!

3:12pm Brian Cat:

Another classic put to pop treatment, Moonlight Sonata.

♥ 3:13pm JtotheK:

@PRB - is it the same David Holmes that did the music for J. Lo/Clooney film 'Out of Sight' (cripes, I can't remember...) ?

♥ 3:13pm Rob Kopp:

2 great covers: in Italian by Ingrid Schoeller (Ieri, domani) and in Dutch by Elly Nieman (Gisteren, vandaag, morgen)

3:13pm The Contessa:

And now Lana, oooh!

♥ 3:13pm fred:

Good afternoon Sheila and listeners

♥ 3:14pm Adrian in London:

Ah, Lana! @Sheila do you have this on vinyl? Cos I was reading about how atrocious the pressings are…

3:14pm βrian:

Any listeners from Saranac Lake, per chance?

3:14pm nightjeans:

Hi Sheila awesome Shangri Las track!

3:15pm djsheilab:

@Adrian in London Yup, playing this on vinyl. And sound is meh. But god what a song!

♥ 3:18pm Passaic River Blues:

@JtotheK: Yeah, same guy (at least I am fairly certain).

3:18pm Gaylord Fields:

Sheila, I know you're still in Jeanette Heaven, because I certainly am!

3:18pm Anonymous Coward:

Molto bene, bella

3:18pm jerry h.:

Love those drum brushes!

3:19pm djsheilab:

@Gaylord Fields You better believe it!

♥ 3:19pm Rob Kopp:

Mina's Se telonando / No is such a great single and definitely in my all-time Top 100

3:19pm Gaylord Fields:

And why am I not surprised to know you also appreciate Mina?

♥ 3:20pm Rob Kopp:

telefonando

3:20pm jerry h.:

EBTG-Beautiful!

3:20pm Brian Cat:

60s Italian Pop, There's a genre to explore.

3:22pm Anonymous Coward:

Now I'm hankerin' for some Brasil '66...

♥ 3:23pm Adrian in London:

*Gasps!!!*

3:23pm The Contessa:

Gasps!!! Thank you Sheila

3:23pm Cecile:

Hello, all you tasteful people with good taste.
I don't quite understand you, but I appreciate you letting me hang with you for a while.

3:24pm djsheilab:

You're one of the gang @Cecile! Always happy for you to hang here :)

3:24pm Anonymous Coward:

Aha... now I get it

3:25pm Cecile:

Good to be here.

♥ 3:25pm Itzall Ablurr:

Last weekend, had my shopping list, went to the grocer and got it all, t-bone steaks, ribeye steaks, porterhouse steaks, new york strip steaks, tuna steaks, lighter fluid, matches, charcoal... everything but the grill.

3:26pm Cecile:

hahahha.
But now I'm hungry for a steak.

3:26pm The Contessa:

Again, again!

♥ 3:27pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Faversham! (the most sophisticated greeting I can come up with) youtu.be...

♥ 3:29pm Adrian in London:

I am LOVING this set! Seriously, just repeat these first few songs for the rest of the evening and everyone will be happy!

♥ 3:30pm Rob Kopp:

I think the first 30 minutes of SBB never have been more dreamy than today!

3:30pm Cooh John:

Hello djsheilab and sophisticates. Rain, rain, and more rain here. But this brings the sunshine.

3:31pm The Contessa:

Send the fire brigade to WFMU, Sheila's on fire!!

♥ 3:31pm Rob Kopp:

The playlist says "You'd DJ speaks" but I hear another song!

3:33pm The Contessa:

@Rob K are you hearing Sheila now? She is speaking

♥ 3:33pm Rob Kopp:

Yes I am!!

♥ 3:33pm Michael 98145:

¡Qué bochorno!

3:35pm Cecile:

Is anyone here familiar with zarah leander's "kann denn liebe sünde sein?" (Can Love Be A Sin?) My beloved Conchita sang it at Life Ball last week and I am completely obsessed with it now.

♥ 3:37pm Michael 98145:

Viva, archives!!

3:37pm Cecile:

oh, god, don't even talk to me about smutty nail polish names.

♥ 3:37pm Passaic River Blues:

@Cecile: I don't (Mr. Kopp might) but that's quite an endorsement. Will definitely check that out.

3:37pm Cecile:

Some of my favorites were Schmutz, Bruise, and Bad Decision.

♥ 3:38pm Passaic River Blues:

Oh man, I hope Cam'ron is tuning in!

3:40pm RRN63:

...that was my favorite part of Narnia...the smutty Unicorns...

3:41pm Brian Cat:

Rose Royce song reminds me of Laura Nyro.

♥ 3:43pm Rob Kopp:

@PRB: Mr. Kopp doesn't, but he will check it out as well

♥ 3:43pm The Oscar:

Mrs. Robinson, I presume?

3:44pm JasonInBoston:

Nice choice of Sylvia songs to play. Mike Terry worked on this album after his Motown years. If you like this, listen to Sexy Mama by the Moments. Almost sounds like a continuation.

3:44pm Cecile:

Zarah was an interesting character as a big star in WW2 Germany. Not Leni Riefenstahl at all, but no Marlene Dietrich, either. She didn't hang with the party at all, but took their money. In Swedish kronor wired directly to her homeland, which she fled to mid-war.

3:44pm jerry h.:

Interesting Sylvia album cover!

3:44pm RRN63:

Interesting. Nyro's such a celebrated Writer & ProtoGothChick - yet her singing was very Soul, indeed...

3:44pm djsheilab:

@JasoninBoston Thanks for the tip! Don't know that one.

3:45pm steve:

girl...

3:45pm Miss Georgia Peach:

Yay!

3:45pm Cecile:

Kann denn liebe is has a great line "I'd rather sin than live without love". Which takes on an entirely new meaning sung by a drag queen at a huge AIDS fundraiser. I like when I stumble on stuff like this.

3:46pm RRN63:

...that cup collects the drool...

3:46pm jerry h.:

Sweet Stuff= Pillow Talk?

♥ 3:46pm fred:

ESG!

3:46pm Cecile:

ESG!

♥ 3:46pm JtotheK:

Moody!

♥ 3:46pm Rob Kopp:

Strange cover. One of the best covers I have is April Stevens' LP Teach me tiger. Gorgeous sleeve.

3:47pm Cecile:

Fred, get out of my head.

Hey, I'm Poet Laureate now!

3:48pm Jocelyn:

My grossest, most inappropriate lipstick was an old Urban Decay shade called Roach. Despite the disgusting name the colour was gorgeous.

3:49pm Cecile:

Jocelyn, UD has the worst best names.

3:50pm βrian:

I've always been puzzled by lipstick colors that resemble internal organs.

3:51pm Carmichael:

Haye Sheila and Boomers.

3:52pm Brian Cat:

Re: African Pop: Lizzy Mercier Duclox comes to mind.

♥ 3:52pm Rob Kopp:

I have to admit I didn't buy my first African LP before 1986, when Shabini by the Bhundu Boys was highly recommended by John Peel

3:53pm Carmichael:

Can't believe I misspelled my patented "heya" ...

3:53pm djsheilab:

@Carmichael HAYE + HEYA!

♥ 3:53pm Adrian in London:

@RobK Oh, I saw the Bhundu Boys play The Riverside club in Newcastle and it was an amazing show. I saw them support Jonathan Richman a few years later and he told me off for sitting on one of their guitar cases…

3:54pm Brian Cat:

There's Jeanette!

♥ 3:54pm JtotheK:

haye Carmichael!

♥ 3:54pm Adrian in London:

@Sheila I told a Spanish colleague at work that you'd seen Jeanette and she was v impressed, but not as much as her parents would be, she said! ;-)

3:55pm Anonymous Coward:

Bueno... mi favorita es" Cria Cuervos"

♥ 3:55pm Rob Kopp:

@Adrian: Jonathan Richman is another favorite of mine; both his garage stuff as his "children" songs

3:57pm Brian Cat:

@SB Hope you play more Jeanette next week.

♥ 3:59pm Adrian in London:

@Anonymous Coward That is SUCH a great film, especially as the second part of a double bill with Spirit of the Beehive

4:00pm βrian:

"Suspicion Maximale"?

♥ 4:00pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl:

This Cleo Vincent is really great Sheila! Excellent arrangement on this song! Love it!

4:01pm The Contessa:

Loving this one

4:01pm jerry h.:

Anything titled "Destination Tropicale" has to be good!

♥ 4:02pm Rob Kopp:

Hey Glynis, tried to download the MP3 of your last show Crayons to perfume, but there wasn't a playlist or MP3 this time

4:03pm Cecile:

No, it was a real name for a nail polish

♥ 4:03pm Devin B.:

The big cosmetics companies contract that work out to the Creative Naming Corporation.

♥ 4:04pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl:

One of the rare WFMU technical glitches! We'll try it again next week!

♥ 4:04pm Adrian in London:

There's a car in the UK, dunno about other territories, a Ford car, that is called, ahem, the Kà. Yep, someone got paid a shedload of money to call a car Kà. Money for jam.

4:05pm northguineahills:

ackkkkk, Jeanette played in the US, time for seppuku!

4:06pm Cecile:

check out Adam Ellis's comics on bad nail polish, they are pretty hilarious

♥ 4:06pm seb:

Wow. Jeanette live! Amazing.

4:08pm Cecile:

www.pinterest.com...

4:08pm Cecile:

Adam Ellis comic is in the upper left hand corner.

4:08pm The Contessa:

@Sheila, did Jeanette sound the same?

4:09pm Miss Georgia Peach:

Raisin Rage - I think it was CoverGirl?

4:09pm djsheilab:

@The Contessa Exactly the same. And her pitch was perfect! And she seemed so lovely, though I couldn't understand any of her mic breaks sadly.

♥ 4:09pm el_musgo:

OHHHH how we all love Jeanette!

4:10pm Cecile:

I used to joke that China Glaze's nail polishes were named by trampy sorority girls.

♥ 4:10pm Adrian in London:

I love Jeanette's English-accented Spanish. And isn't Hispavox such a great name for a label?

4:11pm Brian Cat:

Soy Reblede arr. is very Mauriat.

4:11pm steve:

mmm yeah

4:12pm northguineahills:

It's funny you say that, Adrian, as Jeannette's Spanish reminds me of Selena's Spanish.

♥ 4:13pm seb:

"Porque te vas" on "Cria Cuervos" www.youtube.com...

4:14pm Cecile:

wasn't this album the one where they had a video of them on jet skis or something?

4:14pm The Contessa:

If anyone wants to see Jeanette pack your bags for… Ecuador on 7.7

♥ 4:15pm Adrian in London:

@northguineahills I wouldn't worry about missing Jeanette. Usually I get into an artist, think they're amazing and I must see them, and find out they;ve played London a week ago…

♥ 4:15pm Rob Kopp:

If you like Spanish girls with "low" voices, I can highly recommend the EP's Dis que no by Massiel (1966) and No importa nada by Rosalia (1967). And now I'm typing this: why are all these Spanish girls only using their front name?

4:15pm Max:

Not to spoil it to you guys, but in spain Jeanette is at best a running joke and at worst, a symbol of the kind of music the regime approved back then while everything rock and roll was censored

4:16pm The Contessa:

And Jeanette's on Twitter!! @jeanetterebelde

4:17pm djsheilab:

@The Contessa That's where I learned about her gig!

4:17pm jerry h.:

Funny, I was just thinking of '40s music!

4:17pm Jocelyn:

Urban Decay definitely had the worst names. Gash was another kind of awful one. Raisin Rage was Revlon, another gorgeous colour with a bad name!

4:18pm ncjay:

This rendition of "Perfidia" is just Phyllis Dillon's original with a bit of extra instrumentation

4:18pm Jocelyn:

Max, Bummer to hear that because I love her!

4:18pm ncjay:

and a version!

4:20pm Brian Cat:

Jeanette.. to be continued...

♥ 4:21pm Rob Kopp:

What? Polnareff? He's my favorite French singer of the 60's, but I didn't recognize his voice on this song.

4:21pm The Contessa:

@Max, not interested

♥ 4:21pm Adrian in London:

@Max Nobody cares. We love Jeanette!

♥ 4:22pm Summer and Michael:

We think we know where Green Day lifted the melody for "Basket Case", now...

4:24pm sugarwolf:

I missed Jeannette and Mina :(

I watched some of a Eurovision documentary and didn't realize there were, um, some shenanigans that lead to Massiel winning.

♥ 4:24pm Summer and Michael:

Great show, as ever, Sheila. We love you!

4:25pm sugarwolf:

Got stuck in a San Remo festival YouTube rabbit hole and wow!!! gene Pitney singing in Italian!!!

4:25pm djsheilab:

Thanks @Summer and Michael! Hey @sugarwolf!

4:25pm Cecile:

Max, that's actually pretty interesting to me. it's fascinating to see how music is received outside its intended audience. Much like many indie bands loving the Carpenters, when "cool" people rolled their eyes at them in their prime.

4:25pm Cecile:

Sugarwolf, shenanigans? Tell me more!

♥ 4:26pm robin:

adored the jeannette ! the live show sounded awesome.

4:27pm Early Morning in Seoul:

Good morning/evening everyone!

♥ 4:27pm Rob Kopp:

I bet Sheila's playing this song because of "We love Japan"

♥ 4:28pm Adrian in London:

Oh, by the way, we're loving your premium, Sheila.

4:29pm Sem Chumbo:

Boom! Hanky Panky!
Hiya, Sheila, and sophisticates.

4:30pm Anonymous Coward:

Fung Po Po, Tung Po records... hmm, does anyone else sense nepotism?

4:30pm Brian Cat:

I'll bet this hanky panky was huge in Japan.

4:31pm jerry h.:

VERY 60's !

4:31pm Max:

I like Jeanette too! Cecile got it spot on. Like around here you can only like her sort of ironically. To this day, saying ''I'm a rebel because the world made me like that'' in a
singy songy voice is a common rersponse whenever any nagging is thrown at you. Also, you should try Cecilia too.

♥ 4:31pm Rob Kopp:

A few listeners got their premiums already? I have become a lifetime member as well, but I even haven't got a radio behind my name!

4:31pm jerry h.:

Jany L. !

4:32pm JasonInBoston:

Give this a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M0MXCX0Tsg

4:32pm The Contessa:

Be patient @Rob K

♥ 4:33pm fred:

@Rob: the connection between pledges and profile has been broken since the pledging system was replaced. You have to ask Ken to manually add that radio

♥ 4:33pm Rob Kopp:

I am!

♥ 4:33pm Rob Kopp:

Thanks Fred. I will ask him

♥ 4:34pm Adrian in London:

@Max I don't think anyone likes her ironically. I mean that bit when Porque te vas comes on in Cria Cuervos is so good

4:34pm Carmichael:

Rob, e-mail Joe McGasko. He's the pledge guru, he fixed my profile also.

♥ 4:34pm Adrian in London:

@Max 'around here', at least

♥ 4:35pm Rob Kopp:

Pff. I feel so embarrassed by commenting so much without that radio!

4:35pm βrian:

Would that be "fat" or "phat"?

4:36pm Cecile:

I don't think No Doubt has to worry about low WFMU support.

4:36pm The Contessa:

@Rob K, how about the hearts??

4:36pm steve:

i liked the No Doubt song! hands too busy to click this afternoon

♥ 4:36pm Adrian in London:

@DJSheilaB is that Jany L record label, Germinal, the same Germinal who wrote/svengali'd Clothilde's records?

4:36pm Joe McG:

Yes, Rob, I can make that happen for you when I'm back in the office on Monday!

4:37pm Cecile:

Well, it was the Carpenters, but same decade and from the same state. ;)

4:37pm βrian:

And everybody loves the Monkees, of course.

♥ 4:37pm Rob Kopp:

Thanks Joe!

4:37pm The Contessa:

@Joe McG, how do you get a heart?

4:38pm The Contessa:

I mean, we heart Sheila

4:38pm Cecile:

Exactly, Brian. I remember an old manager of mine getting enraged about the 80s Monkees revival.

4:38pm Anonymous Coward:

@Brian - Take the Last Train to Clarksville...Dododododododododododdodododododooo

♥ 4:39pm Rob Kopp:

Fantastic song. My favorite Bedouine song so far

4:40pm Cecile:

I loved the Beatles and the Monkees as a little kid. I didn't see any difference. They both had TV shows.

4:40pm jerry h.:

@Joe McG- a radio for me too ,pretty please!

♥ 4:40pm Devin B.:

This is the 3rd time today I've been a bit disappointed the Bedouine selection wasn't 'Solitary Daughter' and then 30 seconds later thought, "Wait, this song is fantastic too!"

♥ 4:41pm Rob Kopp:

@Jerry: shake hands

4:41pm βrian:

Yes, and what about those Banana Splits?

4:41pm djsheilab:

@Devin B. The WHOLE album is just glorious!

4:41pm P-90:

Worthy Single of the Week! Will take your word that it's also "Album of the Week", DJ Sheila B...

4:41pm sugarwolf:

@Cecile: from what I gather, Franco realllly wanted to host Eurovision, so votes may have been bought.

Of course the festival hosted in Spain had a four-way tie which was its own disaster...

4:42pm Joe McG:

@Contessa: I wish I knew and I'd get one for myself! No, just kidding. The radio is for Swag for Lifers, but I can't recall what the heart is for at the moment. Possibly pledge level. Liz is our resident heart and radio expert and I'll consult her when she's back from vacay on Monday. We'll get you, too, jerry h!

4:42pm fmu rulz:

thank u for bedouine! xo

4:42pm Cecile:

4-way tie!?!?!? How did that happen?

4:43pm Anonymous Coward:

There's a voice I haven't heard in a while

♥ 4:44pm Rob Kopp:

Both the girl and her voice look like Courtney Barnett.

4:44pm Early Morning in Seoul:

@djsheilab, unfortunately I missed last week's show as it aired due to the Seoul Record Fair, but check out the haul http://imgur.com/a/k3Sa6

4:44pm jerry h.:

@Rob:Yes you're not alone! I too have suffered all these months!

4:46pm jerry h.:

without the radio symbol!

4:47pm Brian Cat:

This is an excellent Peggy Lee example, thanks.

4:48pm flashbazbo:

The monkees did all their own appearances though. That's the difference.

♥ 4:48pm Devin B.:

@Sheila B: I'm convinced! Thanks to you and Trouble for introducing us to her!

♥ 4:49pm Ken From Hyde Park:

The heart may denote a contribution to the silent fundraiser held in the fall.

♥ 4:50pm Passaic River Blues:

@Early Morning in Seoul: Oh man, there are at two monster records in that collection there. Good job!

4:50pm ncjay:

lovely instrumentation and vocals on this Charlotte Dos Santos

4:51pm Will from Seattle:

that's a great transition!

♥ 4:51pm fred:

Back when Kenzo's system was in use, I think you got a heart for pledging any amount to the latest fundraiser

4:51pm djsheilab:

@Will from Seattle YAY! So glad you picked up on that :)

4:52pm Carmichael:

I think the Russians made the latest pledge software.

4:52pm Johannes:

Love that transition!

4:52pm djsheilab:

@Johannes Thank you!

4:52pm Early Morning in Seoul:

@Passaic River Blues: As soon as I saw the Kim Jung Mi album I snagged it. It's a great copy pressed on clear dark blue vinyl with some red streaks. They also had the picture disc version, but it was over $100

4:53pm Brian Cat:

Not for nothing, butI'll have to give that Neon Commando song another listen later on. It was very interesting.

♥ 4:53pm Passaic River Blues:

@Early Morning in Seoul: that was my first thought! That copy of "Now" looks fantastic.

4:54pm JasonInBoston:

Summer Nights my FAVORITE Marianne Faithful record!

♥ 4:54pm Rob Kopp:

@Carmichael: pledge software or ransome ware?

4:54pm Joe McG:

@fred: You've got the inside scoop. We've switched systems and the hearts are likely leftover from folks who pledged when we still had the old system going. (I'm also very jealous of that copy of "Now," and Sheila as always is knocking it out of the park. Hi, Sheila!)

♥ 4:55pm Rob Kopp:

@Joe: how do you get 2 hearts?

4:57pm Early Morning in Seoul:

@Joe McG: if any of you guys ever head over here, I can show you where all the awesome record shops and crate digging places are so you can snag a copy too

♥ 4:58pm Stanley:

This little radio is my pride and joy-------^

4:58pm Brian Cat:

I love this artwork of Evihnha. It looks like colored pencil The song's pretty cool too. Short and sweet, how I like 'em.

4:59pm Joe McG:

@Rob: I feel like you're setting me up for a punch line. I don't recall any two-hearted commenters, but my memory is so bad! @EMinSeoul: I haven't been to Seoul since 2007, but I'd love to go back. I'd take you up on that!

4:59pm Brian Cat:

What language was that Evinha record?

4:59pm Carmichael:

Friday afternoon meetings ... Don't play anything good while I'm out ...

4:59pm Will from Seattle:

Portuguese

5:00pm Brian Cat:

Thanks, Will.

5:00pm jerry h.:

Extensive world-wide playlist today!

5:00pm C.C.:

Groovy cutz!!!...:)0(:

5:00pm Carmichael:

But I do love me some Haim!

♥ 5:01pm Rob Kopp:

@Early Morning in Seoul: you managed to get those 8 albums? Congratulations!

5:02pm The Contessa:

Thank you @Joe and @Ken FHP maybe not cos I would qualify

♥ 5:03pm Adrian in London:

This Lynn Barber interview with Marianne from a few years ago is *Kevin from Home Alone face* www.theguardian.com...

5:03pm Early Morning in Seoul:

@Rob Kopp: Yep, and some super lucky with some. Bottom left is by an artist named 은희 (Eun-Hee), I've been trying to get for a while. Usually selling for around $70, but got it from this nice old couple for ~$10, plus they threw in the left middle as a freebie.

5:04pm P-90:

"dramatic , miserable , and dark" is fine...

♥ 5:06pm Rob Kopp:

My mum is getting 87 coming Monday. Tomorrow we're going to a zoo with all her 4 children, 11 grand children and 3 grand grand children (and all the partners .. and all the bonus grand children)

5:07pm Cecile:

that sounds wonderful, Rob!

♥ 5:08pm Rob Kopp:

It is, Cecile. And the zoo recently got 2 panda's from China!

5:08pm P-90:

Went to high school with Phoebe. Just fyi

5:08pm djsheilab:

@P-90 WOW!!!

5:09pm jerry h.:

Anyone know (or care) where the line "Who wants to go to the Lisbon Zoo?" is from?

5:09pm The Contessa:

@P-90 interesting

5:09pm Cecile:

I seem to remember from the pages of Seventeen that she had a twin sister?

5:09pm JasonInBoston:

Phoebe is in my hall of fame! Love her! @P-90: I would have died!

♥ 5:09pm chris:

i can only imagine how distracting that might have been P-90 :D

♥ 5:10pm Stanley:

This song is sweet

5:11pm TehBadDr:

Hello Sheila and fellow Boom Boomers! Really liking the recent set just got home and tuned in on the intertubes.

♥ 5:11pm Rob Kopp:

My mum wil get her first smartphone! At first she thought "no-one will phone me anymore", but when she saw some clips of grand grand children in apps of grand children, she was convinced :-)

5:11pm Cecile:

She was modeling in high school, too. Of course we teenage girls were jealous as shit.

♥ 5:11pm Michael 98145:

( that dubstar cover is quite disturbing ... :)

5:12pm Mike G:

Sheila!! You're playing Dubstar! Wow. Get out of my music collection. I bought this record on my first visit to London nearly 20 years ago.

5:12pm Cecile:

My mother is afraid of the internet because of "penises!"
She opened a porn spam once and was traumatized.

♥ 5:12pm Adrian in London:

@P-90 I went to school with Chris, the guitarist from Dubstar, which is, I'm sure even he'd agree, not as good as going to school with Phoebe Cates!

5:12pm djsheilab:

@Mike G Sweet!

5:13pm TehBadDr:

So lovely, so dreamy!

♥ 5:19pm Michael 98145:

gin?!~ do tell :)

5:19pm JasonInBoston:

RIDE! My favorite shoegaze band ever! I'm going to see them live in Boston next month! New LP is good too.

5:20pm Peter:

I love your voice and like your taste. Refreshing mix.

5:21pm djsheilab:

Thank you @Peter!

5:21pm djsheilab:

@Michael 98145 13 year old girls + gin + dramatic shoegazing records do not mix!

♥ 5:22pm Michael 98145:

woo !

5:23pm Brian Cat:

Ride reminds me of a J-rock band called Plastic Tree. Who nicked who? Any fans out there?

♥ 5:24pm Michael 98145:

- that was juniper-fresh -

♥ 5:25pm chris:

this set is really hitting the spot, djsheilab! cheers!

Wow, that was smoooth...

I've seen this sleeve before in the playlist. Terrific song

5:28pm C.C.:

I knew a guy who said he used to piss on his records to clean them off...then he would finish them off with 'Dawn'...claimed that the acid did wonders?!?...hehehe...:)0(:

@Dean thanks, Dean.

5:29pm Anonymous Coward:

Bonus - What show was it from?

5:29pm Dean:

From s/t to The Point.

5:30pm P-90:

The mow covers of Me and My Arrow, the better, imo

5:30pm TehBadDr:

Retro sounding future pop of a retro tune, but with that right now mellow twist! Hehn! BTW Love it!

You're welcome, Brian Cat!

5:30pm Brian Cat:

5:31pm P-90:

"...the MORE covers of...". Damn. Autofill...!

♥ 5:32pm Rob Kopp:

@ Sheila: At first I used to listen to SBB because of the girl singers from the 60's, but since today I'm convinced this is THE radio program to hear NEW girl singers.

♥ 5:33pm JtotheK:

@sheilaB - do you have the 45 'Stormy Weather' by the Four Casts on Atlantic? Would be great for future weather announcements!

♥ 5:34pm Michael 98145:

- this is THE radio program to hear. period. -

5:35pm The Contessa:

Vida is such a great name

5:36pm P-90:

The gin was spilled "intentionally" in a slightly altered state? Far out!

5:36pm Early Morning in Seoul:

@C.C.: if the records I buy are particularly dirty, I use wood glue. You run the turntable, put some glue on the record (vinyl part only!!) and use something flat (e.g. piece of cardboard) to smooth it out. Then leave it out overnight to dry and peel it off in the morning. The wood glue cannot bind to vinyl, so it comes right off.

5:36pm Cecile:

Rob is pretty awesome.

Jen Shyu! She's amazing. I saw her a few times with five elements, but the best was seeing her do a great solo show. She played a bunch of instruments, sang, told stories, even danced.

5:40pm Brian Cat:

@Anon Is that video in print?

Gary had a pretty nice Khmer cover of this on his premium last year

♥ 5:43pm JtotheK:

@Rob Kopp - thanks, I will check that out...

5:43pm Brian Cat:

Sheila, Your show is like we're all sitting around the living room and you're playing records for us. So much fun, like the days when everything was music during high school years.

5:44pm Early Morning in Seoul:

@djsheilab: so much fun! After the next song plays, do we call in and tell you the theme of 3 songs!

♥ 5:44pm Michael 98145:

except now the gin is all gone !

5:45pm Brian Cat:

@ Anon Another one of my favorite LPs of that time.

5:47pm Max:

I was in a math/post rock band for a while. For our few gigs we decided to start off with an unexpected cover to annoy/confuse the audience, and girls just want to have fun was one of them. Try to imagine it played by Battles!

5:47pm Brian Cat:

Yes a woman asserting herself with I don't care. This song always makes me grin.

5:48pm Will from Seattle:

wow I'd never seen the cover for Friday, it's even more horrendous than the song

5:48pm ?:

@Brian Cat: I prefer radio to TV and think everybody who is commenting here is an "ear" man/woman instead of an "eye" man/woman

♥ 5:48pm fred:

@Max: with or without Braxton?

That last ? was me

5:49pm Brian Cat:

@? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree with you.

5:50pm Anonymous Coward:

OK, it's time to go. I thought they were singing "Penguin Avenue'

5:51pm Cecile:

So that was "Friday". I had kind of avoided it. Her vocals are strange. It would be a good song for Electric Company.

♥ 5:51pm Michael 98145:

from Hanover, PA

5:52pm Early Morning in Seoul:

I wonder if there was a thing with address songs back then. I have a 45 by The Marvelettes with the song "Beechwood 45789."

5:52pm Brian Cat:

@Cecile I think women are the superior, that's just my opinion and I hope it doesn't offend anyone.

♥ 5:52pm JtotheK:

enjoyed the show - thanks sheilaB!

5:52pm Will from Seattle:

@Cecile
it was hard to avoid for me, unfortunately. It came out when I was in 12th grade, when you had no choice but to know about the latest pop songs regardless of how terrible
