Brian—We may get more committed as we go along...

3:10pm Cecile:

hola!

3:10pm northguineahills:

Ouch, This Bjork now qualifies as an oldie (I heart this album!)

3:11pm djsheilab:

Hi Cecile + northguineahills!

3:12pm Sem:

Hiya, SheilaB, quel opening!

3:13pm βrian:

Note to self: discuss the Magna Carta.

3:13pm djsheilab:

Just a lil' bit of flirty fun for this segment!

♥ 3:13pm Michael 98145:

nice

♥ 3:13pm Rob Kopp:

On her 1992 album Sentimental Killer, Mary did a cover (Not up to scratch) of a song (Beneden alle peil) by Dutch singer Boudewijn de Groot.

♥ 3:14pm steveo:

hello & happy to be listening!

3:14pm mzzmzz:

up to the same wavelength now

3:15pm Cecile:

I bet he's made out of human flesh.

♥ 3:15pm JtotheK:

baking a man -- brings to mind curtis 'the makings of you' and the stridells 'mix it up'.

3:15pm djsheilab:

Right in time for "I'll Bake Me A Man", Steveo!

3:15pm mzzmzz:

haiiyeee suebyuiee crauzuie troll ister here bu'luv'yr'sho'jus'sayin'

3:16pm djsheilab:

JtotheK—Ooh! Those would make nice companions.

3:17pm JasonInBoston:

I thought she said "I wish I could make him out of black spider tears!" Big song in the gay clubs in Boston, according to one of my sources. Great record.

♥ 3:17pm listener james from westwood:

Oh, love this "Chewing Gum" track!

♥ 3:18pm JtotheK:

@sheilaB - file away for a future DJ Premium - title: music for baking your significant other by

3:18pm djsheilab:

JasonInBoston—perhaps that's the missing magic ingredient! Had no idea that record was big. It sure deserves to be.

♥ 3:18pm Michael 98145:

stuff : wfmu.store...

3:18pm djsheilab:

JtotheK—That would be a fun one to research!

3:19pm djsheilab:

Thanks Michael 98145. I've got to ask about that one.

3:20pm Dano59:

that Bjork was a nice surprise! Icelandic warmth for this icy day.
trying to remember where I've heard 'Seduced' before, and by whom ...

3:20pm dfb:

chewing gum is great

3:21pm djsheilab:

dfb—indeed!

3:22pm djsheilab:

Hi Dano59!

3:22pm Cecile:

this would be around the time of the Alka-Seltzer commercial where the tag line came from.

3:24pm Cecile:

I laughed so hard when I first heard this song I stopped breathing for a second.

3:24pm Brian Cat:

Celcile, glad you mentioned it. That was a very popular cliche back in the day.

♥ 3:27pm eyenoise:

Hello @djsheilab. Greetings from Central Florida. Excited to hear your whole show live today. I hope you are doing well in the cold weather.

3:27pm michael z:

So happy to hear how BB likes to play this New Year.

3:27pm Brian Cat:

I wish Philips still made records. Amazing label.

♥ 3:28pm steveo:

sing it al! fun set!

♥ 3:29pm Michael 98145:

what steveo said

3:30pm βrian:

I can't believe I recognized Ann's voice! I'm not that old!

3:32pm Dano59:

The Cowboy and the Lady (Ann-M and Lee H) has some great moments and cover art ...

3:32pm P-90:

Happy, Happy, New Year, DJ Sheila B and Boom Boomers!

3:32pm northguineahills:

Karen O and Brian Chase love Yeah Yeah Yeah (and as a plural).

♥ 3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Whenever I think I'm cold, I check the weather up on Mt. Washington. Currently -19F and winds gusting to 74 mph (wind chill -61F). www.mountwashington.org...

3:33pm P-90:

Personally, I welcome the resurgence of "yeah yeah yeah", we can use all the "yeah yeah yeah" we can get in 2018

3:34pm Brian Cat:

I think it's Mary "Coff lan." Isn't that Irish?

♥ 3:36pm listener james from westwood:

It was like shedding a vile skin. I closed Dec 31 with a re-viewing of Last Jedi and took some time, under the near-full moon, 30 min before the end of the night, to bind some toxic, abusive people to last year, never to be mentioned or ruminated over again. I felt clean and able to breathe again.

♥ 3:36pm Adrian in London:

"Polissa"

♥ 3:36pm Booz:

would recommend Lola Montes at Metrograph this weekend

3:37pm djsheilab:

Booz—Such a beautiful new theater too. Thanks for the rec!

3:37pm djsheilab:

Adrian in London—Thank you!

3:38pm All out Scott:

Happy New Year Sheila B.

♥ 3:38pm listener james from westwood:

By way of new films, Proud Mary looks like a kicky bit of fun, if only bc the poster is the bomb: bit.ly... . Would def. had picked this up were it a drugstore or airport novel!

3:40pm djsheilab:

All Out Scott—thanks + same to you!

♥ 3:41pm listener james from westwood:

Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time are both on my radar. One of my to-do's this year is to see more films in the theater. Anxiety doesn't always permit, but I can also go to first-in-the-day showings, like a proper freelancer, and have the joint to myself!

3:41pm djsheilab:

Listener James in Westwood—Very glad to hear you've cleared away what wasn't serving you + are feeling good in this new year :)

3:42pm djsheilab:

Hey P-90—Cheers to that!

3:42pm chalmers:

Water the flower in your life, not the weeds.

3:43pm djsheilab:

That's lovely, Chalmers.

3:44pm JasonInBoston:

"The Shape of Water" is great.

3:45pm djsheilab:

JasonInBoston—That one's at the top of my list. Can't wait!

♥ 3:46pm fred:

Nicely used voice effects on this Superorganism track

3:46pm djsheilab:

BROS...had to be done!

♥ 3:47pm Michael 98145:

TSoW. Same here. And it seems all the theaters in our area are updating their seating to get us back in them.

♥ 3:47pm Adrian in London:

*fixes Grolsch bottle tops to my loafers*

3:47pm JasonInBoston:

BROS! No you DIDN'T!

3:48pm wild bill:

What a segueway!

3:48pm BabyBear:

Checking in! I have been catching up all week on the past 2 shows that I missed during all the festivities. I really enjoyed that Bon Voyage Organisation track you played. I believe that it was called "Goma"

3:49pm djsheilab:

The look/ style of those two boys is just unbelievable. No one looks like that anymore.

3:50pm wild bill:

Jedward came close surely Sheila?

♥ 3:51pm Michael 98145:

bet they used product

♥ 3:51pm Michael 98145:

JANIS !!

3:51pm All out Scott:

They got their clothes from Bowies closet

3:51pm JasonInBoston:

Chase up Bros with some Blue Mercedes and Pepsi and Shirley.

3:51pm djsheilab:

wild bill—Oh. My God. Jedward?!! I haven't heard that name in years. Haha!

3:52pm βrian:

Yeah, product. Jello and hair don't belong together. (In my view.)

3:52pm djsheilab:

Thanks for checking in BabyBear! Glad you enjoyed that Bon Voyage Organisation track.

3:52pm michael z:

Thank you Sheila for playing Stars. Janis Ian is such an amazing artist. It's hard to believe that this was viewed as a comeback yet she must have been in her early twenties.

♥ 3:53pm Michael 98145:

i have her autographed autobiography that i must get to someday

♥ 3:54pm annie:

i am also so glad you played this... she is one of my top fave singers.. and i loved this album..

3:54pm michael z:

It's fabulous. She's a wonderful writer.

3:54pm djsheilab:

Hi Michael Z.! She is amazing indeed. And these lyrics. Stunning.

3:55pm djsheilab:

Three cheers for Janis Ian! The way she sings about fame....so eloquent + touching.

3:55pm mzzmzz:

from other room I could tell it was janis ian

♥ 3:55pm annie:

her impact was subtle, yet.. loud and still reverberates..

3:55pm Ronald:

Bros, great! Worst song in the universe!

♥ 3:56pm Adrian in London:

The Bros outrage is like when Michael Shelley played a Michael Bublé Christmas song the other day and people were saying: "Oh no, I've clicky-starred Bublé!" in amused horror

3:56pm michael z:

She really was viewed as a has been when this came out. She was just twenty-three.

3:56pm djsheilab:

Adrian In London—Bros outrage in 2018!

♥ 3:56pm annie:

she always told it like it was..

3:57pm βrian:

That'll teach you to keep your clicker in its pouch!

♥ 3:57pm Booz:

Janis Ian is so cozy after smokin-hot Bros rage

3:58pm Cecile:

I missed Bros, but that looks like it might be delightfully trashy.

♥ 3:59pm Michael 98145:

our DJ is on a segue boom boom today!

4:00pm EarlyMorningInSeoul:

Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well if you got hit with all that snow!

4:01pm Cecile:

Well, that Bros was kind of disappointing. Not nearly tacky enough.

4:02pm dfb:

your so cool sheila

4:03pm glenn:

you could be the first to play julytalk. they're pretty awesome.

♥ 4:03pm steveo:

5 Bros samples by bands I've never heard of (but what do I know?) www.whosampled.com...

♥ 4:04pm Adrian in London:

@Sheila Sorry to post an Express link but this piece on 'the other one' from Bros is really interesting www.express.co.uk...

♥ 4:06pm steveo:

caution autoplay audio ^^^

♥ 4:06pm Michael 98145:

@steveo, covered by the "bodybangers" ?!?

4:07pm northguineahills:

I understand Spanish, but I also understand English and I still never understand lyrics of any language (until the 100th x n listening).

♥ 4:07pm Michael 98145:

visual - www.instagram.com...

4:08pm djsheilab:

English lyrics of Chavela Vargas' "Soledad": Solitude
It was a starless night when you left me
With so much grief and so much pain.
Solitude…
Since the day you left a ghostly silence
Has fallen over the town
Solitude…
The creeks are dry, and in the streets a thousand
Echoes scream at me endlessly
Solitude… Come back already
Come back

♥ 4:10pm Michael 98145:

: sob :

4:10pm P-90:

Thnx for the lyrics!

4:10pm Geoff in Ottawa:

This is incredible.

4:11pm Geoff in Ottawa:

Although my six-year-old son just said, "It's kind of scary.|

♥ 4:11pm Booz:

Like Ne Me Quitte Pas inside a barely dormant volcano

4:11pm catherine marcial:

Sheila - This music made me think of Lhasa - I don't recall having heard Lhasa on your program - could you please comment?

4:11pm djsheilab:

Here's a link to the film: www.chavelavargasfilm.com

4:11pm djsheilab:

You will not be disappointed!

4:12pm Cecile:

I used to just love Betty LaVette until I read her autobiography.

♥ 4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...Boom Me Up, Betty...

♥ 4:12pm Adrian in London:

@Cecile Oh, why?

♥ 4:12pm JtotheK:

great betty lavette tune. (i haven't read her autobio.)

♥ 4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...ah Cecile - Nietzsche's right - Art is better than Life...or Betty then life...

4:13pm djsheilab:

catherine marcial: I haven't played Lhasa cos I don't know much by her. Is there a song you would recommend?

♥ 4:13pm BennettCap:

OMG, Sheila! You can't understand how grateful to you I feel after hearing Chavela Vargas for the first time just now. Wait! You heard her too. Of course you can understand.

♥ 4:14pm Rob Kopp:

Loved that Chavela Vargas song. Whenever I hear something like that, it reminds me of Spanish singer Lola Flores. Her expression in this clip is incredible: www.youtube.com...

4:14pm Cecile:

Even taking tough times into consideration and her being blunt, she's pretty much a raging narcissist in my eyes. I still like the music. But no desire to buy any more of it.

4:15pm djsheilab:

BennettCap—She's like the musical/ emotional exorcism we all need. I'm so glad you loved it.

4:15pm glenn:

anything from la llorona is a good place to start with llhasa.

4:15pm djsheilab:

Cecile—Sadly I've heard the same about Betty Lavette :(

4:16pm Cecile:

Great voice. Horrible person.

♥ 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

A lot of people in Blues & Soul traditions were hardscrabbling no crap taking - & very proud, individualistic sorts - to the extent of - that...

4:16pm Cecile:

And I'm usually the one who can separate the two pretty well.

♥ 4:16pm Adrian in London:

This White Poppy cover looks like the sort of thing you'd find on a £2.99 CD in a motorway service station. Sounds lovely, mind

4:17pm Cecile:

This goes way, way, way past that.

♥ 4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...ah...

4:18pm djsheilab:

Thanks Rob Kopp. I'll check out that clip.

♥ 4:18pm Rob Kopp:

Never heard this before. It's cover of Simple man by Graham Nash.

4:18pm djsheilab:

glenn—Funny I played Chavela Vargas' version of "La Llorona" a couple of months ago.

♥ 4:18pm Michael 98145:

thanks, DJ Sheila, for continuing to discover music i've never, ever heard

4:19pm Cecile:

there are so many teen pop 50s stars that did good stuff when nobody was looking (a la Janis Ian's Stars.)

4:19pm catherine marcial:

She's fantastic, sings in French, Spanish, English. Died of breast cancer age 37, not long ago. La Llorona, Living Road: La Frontera, Marée Haute, La Confession...

4:19pm djsheilab:

Awww...thank you for saying that Michael 98145.

♥ 4:20pm Rob Kopp:

Prefer the original. More simple than the cover

4:20pm djsheilab:

Wonderful, I'll check them out. Thanks Catherine.

4:21pm glenn:

try los peces. www.youtube.com...

4:22pm Cecile:

wow, this is one of the better sunshine pop pastiches I've heard of late.

♥ 4:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Neat-o Arranging/Production - this Program often a study in these things!...Thinking David Lynch around the edges somehow...

4:24pm Weisman David:

I look forward to your show on fridays! The music is great to work to or just watch the snow fall by.
btw, this comment area is not available on my iPhone using browser at wmfs.org.

4:24pm Cecile:

Nice kind of Neil Young jam at the end.

♥ 4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...& polished as it is - it's self-released...

4:25pm Cecile:

yeah, it's crazy, Rev.

4:25pm EarlyMorningInSeoul:

@Wisman David : try downloading the WFMU app, works really well!

4:25pm Brian Cat:

Yes, Sheila, you help us to hear new music, old and new, pop and other genres. I just want to tell you that when the songs are not focused on being good compositions,then I lose interest. I love music more than anything, except the God I believe in. The drama and backstory are historical data that can often be irelevent.
(And I love a great fuzz-tone.)

4:25pm Weisman David:

ha i was looking for that!

4:26pm Cecile:

I like history and personality. It gives me a view of the bigger picture.

4:27pm djsheilab:

Thanks David Weisman!

♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145:

> star <

♥ 4:27pm Rob Kopp:

@Cecile: Maybe SCM took their name of Neil Young's song Sugar Mountain?

♥ 4:28pm steveo:

what michael said

4:28pm Cecile:

That might be the case, Rob!

4:29pm michael z:

Another comeback record.

4:29pm djsheilab:

Good morning EarlyMorningIn Seoul!

4:29pm Brian Cat:

Cecile - Right, it's just not always something I'm looking for from well-crafted music. Just my opinion.

4:29pm holly from New Zealand:

Oh Jesus, yer breaking my heart, I’ve only just managed to not cry when I hear this song.

4:29pm djsheilab:

Michael Z—And what a comeback!

♥ 4:29pm Michael 98145:

> quick star <

♥ 4:30pm Stevel:

Broken English is such a great album.

♥ 4:30pm Stevel:

She had a long way to go, towards a healthy life, even after this album. Rough road for Ms Faithful.

4:30pm EarlyMorningInSeoul:

안녕하세요 Sheila B!

♥ 4:31pm Rob Kopp:

It's not before now that I noticed that pink top of the cigarette. It's on my album as well! :-)

♥ 4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...was just walking around singing acRapella (when you sing along badly to headphones) doing my GrahamNash impression to Hollies' 'CarrieAnne' - which was a coded trib to Marianne...full circles...

♥ 4:31pm annie:

faithful!! sheila, you are killing it!

4:31pm holly from New Zealand:

I remember my mum playing this and crying to herself when she was 37 and Dad was super abusive, fast forward 20 years and when I turned 37 it utterly blew my mind, I got it. One of the all time best songs ever, I’m tearing up already x

♥ 4:31pm annie:

wow, holly... oh, just wow...

♥ 4:32pm Stevel:

holly: Yes, wow. Good on you. Many virtual hugs.

♥ 4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Context enhances understanding of Music - but hearing things w/ NO context you know can certainly bring freshness too!

4:33pm holly from New Zealand:

Yeah, it’s a strange feeling to realise the pure humanity of a parent, when you’re little they’re like gods but they’re just humans like the rest of it

♥ 4:33pm annie:

ms faithfull starred in a wonderful movie called "Irina Palm"... it's a must see!!!

4:37pm Cecile:

Holly, that's tough. I'm sorry.

4:37pm holly from New Zealand:

Thanks guys, happy new year to you all x

♥ 4:37pm annie:

might be my imagination, but today seems an especially intense day for the Drummer stream

♥ 4:38pm Rob Kopp:

That was such a big hit in NL

4:39pm EarlyMorningInSeoul:

it was interesting how Chantal Goya went from pop to Mickey Mouse

♥ 4:39pm Adrian in London:

Oh this is lovely

4:39pm Christine:

Hello Sheila and SBB-ers! *waves

4:40pm Carmichael:

I was just reading about Johnny Halliday in Loudon Wainwright's auto-bio. Interesting stuff.

♥ 4:41pm listener james from westwood:

That Simone was lussssh!

4:41pm jean-luc:

'sophisticated' boom boom? Johnny was a crude buffoon. As a subscriber to Les Inrocks, try it phonetically: 'Lez un-rock-tu-beel' Viola.

4:41pm glenn:

there's a street here in little malta named after the family of joe mavety, who plays guitar and did some of the songwriting on broken english.

♥ 4:42pm annie:

wow i just clicky-starred another episode!!

4:42pm Brian Cat:

As you say, Sheila, the melody.

4:43pm Christine:

Haha @ Bros outrage. My friend & I were just reminiscing yesterday about how our Bros love was mocked by other kids who tried to tell us they were in a relationship with each other.

4:43pm Jocelyn:

It's all about the melody for me

4:44pm jean-luc:

J'ai forgot the 'up' - desole. 'Lays un rock up two beel.'

♥ 4:44pm jamesmulry:

Hey Sheila - as I was tidying up my kitchen i tuned in my radio and that one-two-three combo of chavela vargas / let me down easy / pink haze of love was one of the best things I've heard in months. Thanks as always for the great vibes

♥ 4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Huh. Interesting permutation of 'Here Comes the Night' - always a favorite...Wanna know the backtale here! :) ...

4:45pm David Tomorrow:

Wow. Here it comes. Never heard that version. Just David Bowie and van Morrison?

4:46pm David Tomorrow:

Wait. That’s a different song. Kinda

♥ 4:46pm Rob Kopp:

The original is by Lulu & The Luvvers (Check www.originals.be)

4:46pm EarlyMorningInSeoul:

Haha nice segue!

4:46pm wild bill:

That emergency alert didn’t exactly scream emergency alert to me

♥ 4:47pm annie:

man, my kid is skyping with me soon, gonna have to stop the music.

♥ 4:47pm Adrian in London:

The emergency alert system, pleasingly, sounds like a track from Bryce's show…

4:47pm Brian Cat:

@Jocelyn, one of the great things about this show is Sheila's concern for good melodies.

4:47pm diciassette:

Howdy! That was the best EAS test I've ever heard.

♥ 4:48pm Michael 98145:

4:50pm EarlyMorningInSeoul:

Here's the title in Korean: 어젯밤 이야기 . Album title is 꽃갈피 둘

4:51pm djsheilab:

I'm glad it was so thrilling diciassette!

4:51pm djsheilab:

Hi Christine!

♥ 4:51pm eyenoise:

CLICKY STAR "Daddy Was A Preacher Mama Was A Go-Go Girl"!

4:52pm Carmichael:

Bryce's entire show is an EAS alert!

4:52pm Brian Cat:

Funny! A parody of a Country song.

4:53pm Carmichael:

Annie, did you and your son ever do your diner road trip?

♥ 4:53pm Rob Kopp:

Great Hallyday EP, Sheila. I see Ma guitare is on it, the only single I have of him. His best song for me: Psychedelic on EP San Fransisco, where he's accompanied by The Mickey Finn (with Jimmy Page)

4:53pm Brian Cat:

Said Captain, Said Wot!

♥ 4:54pm BennettCap:

@Carmichael Be nice to Bryce!

♥ 4:54pm steveo:

@brian cat, i loved the bangs, but how do you tell the difference between a country song and a country song parody?

♥ 4:55pm annie:

sad to say, carm, no; we had to sidetrack it. he got work and well... dough is dough.. we haven't given it up. what he really wants is an angel to finance the film.. cold day in hell for THAT... we will.. i still have the maps!!

4:55pm Brian Cat:

I this Suzy Wallis produced by Chet Atkins? It sounds a lot like Skeeter Davis . Really nice one!

♥ 4:55pm cccinkc:

Hi, Sheila. Listening at work, so I can't stick around, but I wanted to log in and say that today's show is *particularly* excellent! Such a great way to close out the first week of the new year.

4:55pm JasonInBoston:

YEAH! I've got the Barbara Mills version of "Little Things Like That". Russ T's magic touch.

4:57pm Brian Cat:

steveo Good question.

4:58pm Brian Cat:

Love Martha, must be where Laura Nyro got her stuff. Who wrote this one?

4:58pm Jocelyn:

A diner road trip would be epic. I collect books about them.

4:58pm mzzmzz:

i say anything else johnny paychekc are all parody.

4:59pm Studiolo:

Hi Sheila, greetings from Bavaria, where it's 11 p.m. and I am listening while sharpening my computer security skills. Love the sounds! And a happy new year to everyone!

5:01pm dale:

Spring is on the way !

5:04pm Jocelyn:

♥ 5:05pm milkis:

I was living in Korea when IU's song "Marshmallow" came out...it was stuck in my head for a solid year.

5:05pm djsheilab:

milkis—her songs are ridiculously catchy!

♥ 5:06pm annie:

oh, bummer... once i know the final route i'll announce the cities we're traveling through... we're also featruing the "kitchen tour" of the places we stay at on the trip..

5:06pm djsheilab:

Studiolo! Hello Bavaria! Thanks for checking in!

5:06pm David Tomorrow:

I like the way Sheila says “boom boom”!

5:07pm Brian Cat:

Oddnesse: Very nice music, a little slow, I'd like to hear more of her.

5:07pm Studiolo:

I looove WFMU! Time I made a donation again.

5:08pm Brian Cat:

Seila, I'm really curious, was that Martha +Vandellas song a Holland Dozier song? Who was it? Please...

5:08pm djsheilab:

Studiolo—Thanks for the love! And we do appreciate any financial support :)

5:09pm Jocelyn:

Annie, any way to virtually follow it? I love trying new places wherever I can.

5:09pm djsheilab:

Brian Cat—Nope. Moy/ Stevenson/ Hunter are the writing creds.

♥ 5:10pm Michael 98145:

@ Brian C, see 5:00

5:10pm Brian Cat:

Thank you, it's so much like Laura Nyro (Columbia,) and I am wondering where Nyro got all her R&B and Soul inspirations.

5:12pm Brian Cat:

Thanks MIchael. You are a helpful chap.

♥ 5:14pm Michael 98145:

Stevenson and Hunter had their hands on a lot of good things : www.discogs.com...

♥ 5:14pm Rob Kopp:

Thought Keren Ann was new to me, but I see in my iTunes you played her song By the cathedral last year

♥ 5:16pm annie:

5:19pm Brian Cat:

Michael, Holy smokes!! How did Gordy discover them? What was their first hit?

♥ 5:21pm listener james from westwood:

Hell yeah Massive Attack!

5:22pm Brian Cat:

Michael, I can find the bio on all music?

5:24pm acid casualty:

At first I thought this was Berlin.

5:25pm glenn:

5:25pm glenn:

♥ 5:26pm rbx:

Mary J. Blige >.< - love this track.

5:26pm Jocelyn:

Thank you!

5:27pm djsheilab:

Love for Mary J. Blige!

5:27pm acid casualty:

Wait, the album has Berlin in the name. Didn't that sound like riding on the metro?

5:29pm mzzmzz:

♥ 5:29pm Rob Kopp:

bbbbyyyyy mmmzzzz

♥ 5:30pm JtotheK:

such a great McCrae track.

♥ 5:31pm Michael 98145:

@Brian C, Ivy Jo Hunter has an interesting story : en.wikipedia.org...

5:35pm Brian Cat:

Michael, thanks I am working on this, it all must be well-documented.

5:35pm djsheilab:

rbx + acid casualty—thanks for checking in!

♥ 5:36pm Michael 98145:

i always learn something on FMU

♥ 5:36pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Something in "One Way Ticket" is somehow like one of Bowie's songs.

♥ 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Well, maybe a Peter Schilling song about Major Tom, actually.

5:40pm Studiolo:

Sounds like Hamburg Reeperbahn :-)

5:40pm cosmic matrix:

Loving this show! Thanks for keeping us warm with good tunes, Sheila.

5:41pm djsheilab:

Thanks cosmic matrix!

♥ 5:41pm Passaic River Blues:

Oh man, that organ!

5:42pm Studiolo:

Yes, it's my first time listening to this show, but this Boom Boom is really sophisticated! Great selection, Sheila! I'll return (and a Woof Moo t-shirt is on its way here ...)

♥ 5:43pm Michael 98145:

YAY, DJ Sheila. Come help us try to make this a better US of A.

♥ 5:43pm Rob Kopp:

Wow. You have that Brigitt-single? The b-side is fantastic!

♥ 5:44pm JtotheK:

hey, congrats sheilaB! great show. cheers everyone!

♥ 5:44pm Passaic River Blues:

Congratulations, Sheila!

♥ 5:44pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Awesome news! Let us know when you have a citizenship party.

♥ 5:44pm listener james from westwood:

w00t! Kick butt on the test! More Sheila B.'s and fewer MAGA mutants!

5:44pm Jocelyn:

They should grant you citizenship on your record collection alone!

♥ 5:45pm jamesmulry:

Congrats Sheila!

5:45pm djsheilab:

Thanks everyone! It was the best news for the new year!

5:45pm northguineahills:

My wife has been here 11 years and hasn't had a desire to get her citizenship. Immigration has been grating enough as it is.

Congrats, Sheila!

5:45pm fredr:

Congratulations Sheila!

5:45pm kev:

congrats you are a true American

♥ 5:45pm eyenoise:

Congratulations Sheila!

5:45pm All out Scott:

Congrats Sheila. Early 2018 and america becomes a better place

5:46pm acid casualty:

Good luck, Sheila! Sometime u should play "Citizenship" by Patti Smith.

5:47pm djsheilab:

Rob Kopp—I haven't listened to the other side. Will do ASAP!

5:47pm djsheilab:

acid casualty—great idea! I will do when I get my citizenship.

5:47pm michael z:

Thank you Sheila for a great show. Wishing you all a positive and predictable 2018.

♥ 5:48pm Rob Kopp:

Congratulations, Sheila. The b-side is a cover of Watch 'n chain by The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation

5:48pm Carmichael:

Way to go, Sheila! Pressure is off, vote your conscience!

5:49pm Jocelyn:

Immigration can be quite grating to deal with. I'm so excited for you!

♥ 5:49pm common:

it is called likey.

♥ 5:50pm Michael 98145:

we always try to attend the July 4th Naturalization ceremony. It is very moving to see several hundred folks all -wanting- to be citizens.

probably very few of us could pass the test :)

5:50pm djsheilab:

God bless K-Pop! Likey likey likey!

5:51pm cosmic matrix:

i likey!

5:51pm ?:

Congrats on citizenship, and thanks for the fantastic show. This country is lucky to have you!

♥ 5:51pm Michael 98145:

> likey <

♥ 5:52pm chris:

congratulations, Sheila! thanks for another super fun show! likey!

5:53pm Brian Cat:

So it looks like Nyro favored the Hunter/ Stevenson period more than the Holland/ Dozier era, but that's where she got her stuff, no doubt. Good Time, Good Feelin' music...

5:53pm cosmic matrix:

oh wow i missed the good news; congrats, Sheila!

♥ 5:53pm Passaic River Blues:

@Mike 98145: That is very cool. It's admirable to demonstrate that kind of support. Hats off.

@Sheila: you played Twice's "Knock on My Door" last year and it nearly overtook my life for a couple of weeks.

♥ 5:53pm 12539:

Thanks and congratulations, Sheila!

5:55pm Brian Cat:

Sheila thank you so much for braving the weather, in the true spirit of Radio! Lotsa Love and thanks fellow Boomers for the chat!
