3:11pm sweet cheri:

hey, good afternoon Sheila, Jocelyn and everybody!! what's up everyone!!!!

3:12pm Cecile:

He's a performer. The Bryce of Eurovision. His soundcloud is also amazing. Portuguese fado mixed with trap house, and almost completely opaque futurism.

3:12pm John from Florham Park:

@Sweet Cheri not much just here for my Friday appointment

♥ 3:13pm Passaic River Blues:

@Cecile: oh man--I am definitely going to investigate!

The performance at the semi final was different and even better. But some dork beat him by 2 votes.

dorks ruin all

anyone else hear this italian and think "now this is some weird-sounding portuguese?"

♥ 3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hullo JfFP.

3:20pm Cecile:

YES. or some weird sounding Romanian.

3:21pm John from Florham Park:

Michael if it was not for this station I would be watching or listening to New all day just getting more and more pissed off

♥ 3:22pm steveo:

electric opening set!

3:22pm djsheilab:

Thanks steveo! Feeling energized!

♥ 3:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

P.O.'d can be useful - but why be a masochist.

3:23pm Scotty G:

Hi Sheila, Your show is a much needed respite from the mainstream. I've been listening for a couple of weeks and I love it. I'll see if i can get you some West Coast fans.
Scott
Santa Cruz, CA

♥ 3:23pm Michael 98145:

@JfFP, some of us wouldn't miss this program if we had to crawl over hot rocks to get here

♥ 3:25pm Michael 98145:

@Scotty G, this station has many left coast fans

3:25pm John from Florham Park:

@Michael yes to that like this show my osasios from the insanity of the world

♥ 3:25pm Rob Kopp:

I only know this song by Rita & The Quests

3:25pm DonJuanTijuana:

OMG..Emy Jackson from Japan...THIS is AMAZING...I actually corresponded with her because I LOVED this track so much...

3:26pm sweet cheri:

@Sheila and all,,get ready for a real treat I'm ordering pizza for everyone!!

♥ 3:27pm Rob Kopp:

Emy's version is older than Rita Quest's version (1968)

♥ 3:27pm Z-pulpa:

Hey Sheila and friends!!! I am dancing out of my chair so happy for the summery weather!!!

♥ 3:27pm Rob Kopp:

Rita Chao I mean

3:27pm John from Florham Park:

@Sweet Cheri as long as you don’t have anchovies I don’t care. What you put on it

3:28pm djsheilab:

DonJuanTijuana—How amazing that you corresponded with her! She made so many fab records.

3:28pm dreamyandseedy:

lana is one of my guilty pleasures

3:28pm John from Florham Park:

@Scotty g listen to the other shows this station has

♥ 3:29pm chris:

you're in good company, dreamy.

hi, Sheila and folks!

3:31pm Daybreak, and the Andrew Bird show!:

Yes, that version of the summer time does follow all the rhythms, the back beat, and the melody of the original sublime track. The vocal delivery is a bit less bombastic and more hunting on this cover.

♥ 3:31pm Rob Kopp:

Tomorrow Madonna will be performing during the Eurovision song contest. Duncan of The Netherlands is SO high in the bookmaker's polls as winner (>50%), that it's almost scary. A dutch victory would be the first one in over 40 years (the last being Ding a dong by Teach In).

♥ 3:33pm Cmurtha:

Hello everyone!

♥ 3:33pm Michael 98145:

we care

3:34pm Snortley:

Article on the stained-glass windows:

eskwblog.com...

3:34pm somalisa:

Such a beacon of positivity!! Love you

3:35pm Cecile:

I know, Rob. People really love that song, it hasn't moved me, but I like weird stuff. I'm excited that Conchita Wurst, Eleni Foureia, Verka Seduchka and Mans Zelmerloew are the interval acts!!!!

♥ 3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hey - the House :
3 hours ago - The House of Representatives on Friday passed the Equality Act in a historic milestone for the nation's most comprehensive bill to protect LGBT ...

3:37pm Cecile:

I am also rooting for the Azerbaijan song because the chorus pretty much tells people to shut the hell up.

♥ 3:37pm Michael 98145:

Verka Serduchka?! Yay!

3:37pm Cecile:

Yah!

♥ 3:37pm tim from champaign:

That's good news, RRN!

♥ 3:37pm Bend Sinister:

Funny, heard ths song for months on the office radio but only realised a few days ago it was the Dutch entry... Anyway, doubt it will win - too moody!

3:37pm djsheilab:

Oh brilliant....thank you Snortley!

♥ 3:38pm tim from champaign:

Sheila, what was the Doris Lessing book you just read? I've read a lot of her but I have a long way to go too.

3:38pm djsheilab:

RRNov63—YES!!!!

3:39pm djsheilab:

tim from champaign—It's called Prisons We Choose To Live Inside. It's a book of essays. Very short, but profound!

3:39pm dreamyandseedy:

i've got 2 fans on in my room but i'm swooning over this gwen track, damn!

♥ 3:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Listen - don't forget: We're in the Majority - & growing.
That's why they're shooting the dice & doubling down.

3:40pm michael z:

This is one of my favourite dance songs ever for West Coast Swing. The Latimore version is killer. This is amazing too. What a perfect song and a message we should all take note of.

♥ 3:40pm Rob Kopp:

@Cecile. It doesn't move me either. I haven't seen the first half final, but yesterday I liked Denmark best (the songs reminds me of Lemon tree by Fool's Garden) and Sweden (but I fear too much gospel for the Eastern European countries).

3:40pm northguineahills:

I heart St Mark's Church!

♥ 3:40pm chris:

beautiful relationship advice in this cut

♥ 3:41pm Michael 98145:

what RRN63 just said

♥ 3:41pm Z-pulpa:

@dreamyandseedy, i love your icon art!

3:42pm djsheilab:

michael z.—I don't know the Lattimore original! It's just SUCH a fabulous song.

♥ 3:42pm Passaic River Blues:

@RRN63: I agree but the problem is the Senate where the built-in anti-majoritarian bias means McConnell and his successors will likely rule for the next generation or so.

3:42pm djsheilab:

Thanks for your sweet message, somalisa!

3:42pm michael z:

It is Sheila and amazing for couples dancing.

♥ 3:43pm frozen_peas:

I am enjoying today's show so very much. Thanks Sheila!

3:43pm Cecile:

Also, Conchita is singing at NYC Pride's Tea Dance on June 29, so if anyone can report back...too soon for another stalker road trip for me.

First half final: Cyprus was fun and ridiculous. Conan Osiris KILLED IT. THey wrote a song for Serhat's non existent range, and he still sang off key. And beat Conan Osiris by two votes. And I am still bitter. Darude was great, but his singer was more off key than Serhat, and Montenegro was a complete mess.

3:45pm Cecile:

Australia was batshit crazy, and kind of sold me, although it was a little too derivative of Kate Bush for me.

♥ 3:46pm Rob Kopp:

@Cecile: looks like I didn't miss that much.

♥ 3:46pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Cecile. Last I remember, you were going to Europe (last summer). How did things turn out?

3:46pm Cecile:

Not really. It was kind of dopey except for Portugal and Australia.

3:46pm dreamyandseedy:

@Z-pulpa, thanks! i found it online somewhere (it's not my drawing)

♥ 3:47pm tim from champaign:

Thanks, Sheila. Except for music related books, I'm primarily a fiction reader. Some fiction writers I've been digging have been Nicola Barker, Ursula K LeGuin, NK Jemisin. An interesting book I read recently set slightly in the future that dealt with race and skin tone was 'We Cast A Shadow' by Maurice Carlos Ruffin.

♥ 3:47pm Rob Kopp:

Yesterday only Austria was off key, but she made it to the final

3:47pm P-90:

Extra love for Mona B!

3:47pm Cecile:

I went to Europe! I went to London for 5 days, and then Graz for 4.5 days, and actually talked to Conchita at the autograph table!

3:48pm Cecile:

I know. She was not good. I don't like her voice or the song. I'll have to watch the semi tonight on my German TV app.

♥ 3:48pm Rob Kopp:

Good for you

♥ 3:48pm Bend Sinister:

I checked out in the nineties I must admit. Just give me the classic Eurovision hits like Gigliola Cinquetti, France Gall or Mocedades (still my favorite). Circus now!

3:49pm Cecile:

He was lovely. And I love both London and Graz!

I love Eres Tu like crazy. I can still sing big chunks of it.

3:50pm Dano59:

i love Norma Tanega! and her cat named dog ...

♥ 3:50pm Rob Kopp:

@Bend Sinister. I agree. Poupee de cire poupée de son still is my favorite.

3:50pm Johnzon:

this is really nice!

♥ 3:51pm RomanDogBird:

aaaggh norma tanega is sooo good, yet another artist i need to get into pronto

♥ 3:52pm Michael 98145:

yes. don't believe i've ever heard Norma T before now. and that LP cover is -so- 1971.

♥ 3:53pm tim from champaign:

Man, I wish David Lynch had Peggy sing this song at the end of the new Twin Peaks episodes instead of the cruddy shoegaze bands.

3:54pm battleaxe:

@Michael98145 and @RRN63. Agree wholeheartedly, BUT come next election, get in line and vote for the person with a D next to their name. Whomever that is.

♥ 3:55pm Rob Kopp:

Norma T was the partner of Dusty S. They used to live in Utrecht for a while.

♥ 3:55pm Michael 98145:

RIP, beautiful lady

3:55pm Cecile:

Wow, cool, Rob.

♥ 3:56pm Rob Kopp:

I didn't know at the time.

3:57pm Phillippe Bastille:

Hi Friday friends!

3:58pm Cecile:

I didn't know David Sylvian lived in Minnesota until just before he left.

3:58pm Monica:

such a lovely lovely soundtrack for deep crevice spring cleaning. you, me, windex, and bounty select-a-size, lady:)

♥ 3:59pm Cmurtha:

I like this cover

3:59pm djsheilab:

Monica! Most delighted to be of some service to your spring clean!

4:00pm djsheilab:

Hey Cmurtha + Phillippe Bastille!

4:01pm Phillippe Bastille:

Hey Monica! I used one of your archives to convert a few new FMU listeners this past Sunday

4:02pm sweet cheri:

hiya MONICA,it's really great to sse you!! monica want to join us for our pizza party??

♥ 4:02pm Booz:

Numero Group has consistently excavated a shimmering Eighties underneath the Eighties I lived in.

♥ 4:05pm Rob Kopp:

2o15? Are we already listening for 4 years?

♥ 4:06pm frozen_peas:

down with snobbery!

♥ 4:08pm Rob Kopp:

Have never heard this song

♥ 4:08pm Ken From Hyde Park:

If I recall correctly, the first SBB shows were in a 6-9AM slot, opposite of Nachum.

4:10pm michael z:

I recommend Terry Mel Cher’s first solo record. His version of Ride in my Baby’s Arms is amazing. Sad he preceded his mom. A difficult life with the Manson involvement but what a producer.

4:15pm TDK60:

Hello Sheila, been a while.

4:15pm djsheilab:

michael z.—Thanks for the recommendation! I don't think I've heard that record.

4:15pm djsheilab:

Hey TDK60!

4:15pm Vanessa Tara:

hello all!

4:16pm djsheilab:

Hey Vanessa!

4:16pm Vanessa Tara:

missed the tributes :(

4:17pm P-90:

Great Ananda Shankar track

♥ 4:17pm listener james from westwood:

Weyes Blood!!

4:17pm P-90:

The WB!

4:18pm sweet cheri:

hope everybody's enjoying the pizza party

4:19pm B/wad:

I heard Pseu play Weyes Blood and commented that it reminded me of Aimee Mann, but she chewed me out over the air...Does anybody else here this or am I losing it?

4:20pm dreamyandseedy:

i need more red pepper flakes, sweet cheri!

♥ 4:20pm Booz:

With love, B, I have to agree with Pseu.

♥ 4:20pm Michael 98145:

agreed, @B/w. i hear that.

♥ 4:20pm tim from champaign:

I'm hearing Joni Mitchell singing George Harrsion., B

4:21pm B/wad:

Oh, nice mix Tim

♥ 4:22pm Michael 98145:

whatever the suggestion, that was pretty sweet

♥ 4:22pm tim from champaign:

I don't think the Aimee Mann comparison is off base though.

♥ 4:22pm steveo:

getting chewed out by Pseu is quite an honor, however

♥ 4:23pm frozen_peas:

Her voice is amazing

♥ 4:23pm Michael 98145:

i've always held a flag for Aimee

4:25pm B/wad:

@Steveo: Is it? Been listening for +20 years now. Made me feel like a chump.

4:25pm Vanessa Tara:

oh wow! a grassroots cover

♥ 4:26pm Booz:

I adore Aimee Mann too. I'd put Mering/Weyes Blood more in Canterbury than Laurel Canyon, with her weird chromaticism and tonal shifts. Also, def George Harrison. Also, total honor to get Pseu'd on-air.

♥ 4:26pm steveo:

i'm sorry it didn't feel good; it's sort of her schtick, though, right?

4:26pm Monica:

Many thanks and warm greetings, Phillippe and sweet cheri. Can't make the pizza party but please raise a slice in my honor, cheri:)

4:27pm djsheilab:

Very much agree, Booz!

♥ 4:27pm Michael 98145:

hey, @Monica, you are here ... and here is the party

:)

4:27pm B/wad:

Hehe yeah, totally on message

♥ 4:28pm Guido from Cologne:

Sister of Terry Jacks

4:28pm northguineahills:

Ok, digging this Poppy Family, why is the first time I've heard them!

♥ 4:30pm Passaic River Blues:

Definitely need to revisit the Poppy Family. I was listening to a Zoe B. archived show where she played "There's No Blood In Bone" by P-Fam, and it's a stunner.

4:30pm Vanessa Tara:

yes!!!

4:30pm Joe McG:

Yay, Poppy double shot! :)

4:30pm Vanessa Tara:

thank you!!!!

♥ 4:30pm Guido from Cologne:

You can continue with
"there Is No Blood In Bone"!
It's a killer psych gem!

♥ 4:30pm Passaic River Blues:

TWO-FER!

4:31pm djsheilab:

Guido From Cologne—Let's just do the whole album!

4:31pm P-90:

I dig the whole groovy “folk rock with sitar and tabla” thing

♥ 4:32pm Guido from Cologne:

Yeah!

4:32pm djsheilab:

P-90 I'm so into that right now too!

4:32pm Dano59:

sweet - another nearly long lost band

♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145:

"Seasons in the Sun" Terry Jacks ... ?

♥ 4:33pm Michael 98145:

There used to be such optimism ...

♥ 4:35pm Guido from Cologne:

Yes that Terry Jacks

♥ 4:35pm Rob Kopp:

Altin Gun is Dutch!

♥ 4:35pm Michael 98145:

thx

♥ 4:35pm Guido from Cologne:

The Poppy family was a project of the siblings

4:36pm P-90:

Twice the love for Poppy Family twice! Excellent picks!

♥ 4:36pm Booz:

Guido - sure they weren't married?

4:37pm Daybreak, and the Andrew Bird show!:

My current handle is in honor of seeing Andrew Bird play in the little inn, The Deerhead Inn our at Delaware Water Gap, PA. This was this past Wed 5/15, 100 seats at tables. Good food, and an awesome show.

4:37pm frannie:

Sheila I am not sure if you are a horror fan at all but can I recommend the horror novella Wylding Hall? It's about a psychedelic pop band in the early 70s who go to a rural English country home to record some music for the summer and... spookiness ensues, lots of folk horror Wicker Man type stuff. It's so much fun and has a great audiobook!

♥ 4:37pm RomanDogBird:

rooting for u sheila

4:37pm Vanessa Tara:

they were married!!! susan pesklevitz and terry jacks

♥ 4:37pm Michael 98145:

ah - altingunband.bandcamp.com

♥ 4:38pm Guido from Cologne:

@Booz
you remeber right

♥ 4:38pm sibeliuss:

Congratulations on getting off of facebook! You wont even miss it after a couple weeks.

Next up: everyone else....

4:39pm sweet cheri:

i'm really sorry to say this but I got to go now, I will be back next week, everyone have WONDERFUL week!!

♥ 4:39pm ifeelfatnsassy:

Instantly in love with this track. Holy moly.

♥ 4:39pm listener james from westwood:

Ooh, hell yeah to Quesada!

4:40pm Daybreak, and the Andrew Bird show!:

I walked away from my FB account about 6 months ago. I have to use www.deletefacebook.com to go back and get all my stuff out of it before I toss the match. Hopefully the end of my school year on 6/24 will mark the beginning of that final effort.

4:40pm northguineahills:

@frannie: That is relevant to my interests, thanks!

♥ 4:41pm Michael 98145:

Every time i see M.E. Zuckerberg i just cringe.
Sorry.

4:42pm P-90:

I ALWAYS knew Facebook was just wrong. I never would have gone on myself

♥ 4:42pm Michael 98145:

thank you for the pizzas, @sweet cheri !

4:42pm djsheilab:

Thanks for all the FB break-up support! I'm nearly there!

4:42pm TDK60:

I've been cringing a lot recently, but usually not here at WFMU, which is good.

♥ 4:42pm Z-pulpa:

I am really considering dropping out of facebook and instagram and just sending people I actually know emails and interacting more with people in person and calling it a day, or my life rather. Maybe when I move on the 29th ill deactivate them all and then in a month delete them for good.

4:43pm Cecile:

Facebook and Instagram are helpful to me, but I am also really careful about who I friend.

♥ 4:43pm Rob Kopp:

Jasper Verhulst, originally from De Biet, was in the band of Jacco Gardner (speaking of neo psychedelica). When he toured with Gardner in Turkey, he picked up psychedelic Turkish records from the 70's, liked them a lot, founded Altin Gun and looked for Dutch/Turkish singers to sing the songs.

4:43pm djsheilab:

THREE CHEERS for that Z-pulpa!

4:43pm Cecile:

They are also just a small fraction of my social life.

4:43pm northguineahills:

I only use FB to find out about art/music events in my area. That, and my biological family thinks I shun them if I don't text them about the latest photo they posted. I don't think I've been there in 3-4 weeks. (I post about once every 3 months, and it's usually something educational I learned that day.

♥ 4:44pm listener james from westwood:

As they used to say in the Bronx, ohhhh, Maddon'!

♥ 4:45pm Z-pulpa:

I would like to learn how to design a small personal website to post my art and writing and keep lists of links and citations and have a non google email account. that is my ideal internet existence.

4:46pm djsheilab:

Rob Kopp—Yeah I am always guilty of calling them Turkish. Easy mistake!

4:46pm Monica:

hola, Michael 98145!

♥ 4:46pm Michael 98145:

{ can't you just see a video playing in your head? }
:)

4:46pm northguineahills:

Ok, just got my first freelance assignment, I'll see everybodies later, salud Sheila B y amigos.

♥ 4:47pm Rob Kopp:

@Sheila. Easy mistake indeed. I was very surprised to find out they were Dutch.

4:47pm P-90:

Lost part of my post... I was always wary of Facebook and never would have gone on, but I have academic and professional affiliations that practically demand it because they use it for so much communication, and they seem to have just assumed that no one has a problem going along with the plan...

♥ 4:47pm Michael 98145:

@Z-pulpa, for a non-gmail account might i suggest protonmail.com ?

♥ 4:48pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I'm not on any of the social medias. Gives me more time to post my drivel on the WFMU comment boards. ԅ| . ͡° ڡ ͡° . |ᕤ

♥ 4:48pm Rob Kopp:

A lot of their songs are covers of Turkish songs. Could be interesting to find those originals.

♥ 4:49pm Z-pulpa:

@Michael 98145, ill check it out! thanks for the rec.

♥ 4:50pm Passaic River Blues:

I want to read the book Jamila Woods was born to write.

4:52pm dreamyandseedy:

let me recommend an artist who is featured on that Jamila Woods record - Nitty Scott - she is an amazing rapper/lyricist

4:54pm ratso:

This song always reminds me of the Fisher King

♥ 4:54pm Michael 98145:

I like a DJ Sheila program ♫

♥ 4:55pm Passaic River Blues:

@dreamy: On it!

♥ 4:56pm Michael 98145:

cool ! we've come unstuck in time !

4:57pm michael z:

John O’Hara is such a great underappreciated writer. What a fabulous song. Appointment in Samara and Butterfield 8 are brilliant.

♥ 4:57pm Rob Kopp:

When Ray Davies is singing "Hey Diana" in the Kinks song Good day, he's referring to Diana Dors

♥ 4:58pm Mike Sin:

Very much enjoying the show today, Sheila! In a couple of weeks, I'll be on summer hours at work and will be catching the show live a lot more.

♥ 4:58pm Rob Kopp:

Was wondering what the theme song would be, and it's great

♥ 5:00pm Booz:

Mike Sin! Nice to see yr name, if not hear yr show.

5:00pm djsheilab:

Hello Mike Sin! Thanks for popping in!

5:00pm Don F.:

Ram a lam - Great blues shouter and jump blues orchestra.

5:03pm TDK60:

Got to see Angelique K. last summer; so good.

♥ 5:05pm Michael 98145:

teamwork!

5:09pm P-90:

Clickey-star for a fine EAS test

♥ 5:09pm tim from champaign:

After Hours is a great movie!

5:10pm ratso:

After hours is easily a top 10 movie for me. Is that all there is?

5:12pm djsheilab:

Love to see me some fellow After Hours lovers, tim from champaign + ratso! Top 10 for me too!

5:13pm Cecile:

Love after hours!

♥ 5:13pm Bend Sinister:

Always nice to hear a reggae melodica!

5:15pm Harold Fridkis:

Hey Sheila! I'm enjoying your show today. It's sad to hear about the deaths of Peggy Lipton and Doris Day this week.

♥ 5:15pm RomanDogBird:

really looking forward to seeing After Hours again some day (i believe i saw some mention of a Criterion release coming in the near future), i caught it on TCM over a year ago at 2AM and really enjoyed it.

♥ 5:16pm ifeelfatnsassy:

And now for your weekly lesson in rolling r's.

♥ 5:16pm tim from champaign:

The first time I watched After Hours was in high school maybe 1990. I had just gone over to a friend's house and was instructed to not ask questions and just watch it. So good!

♥ 5:16pm chris:

love the rolling 'r's!

5:17pm andrewb:

no news to fmu folks i suppose but "After Hours" was based entirely on a Joe Frank monologue.

♥ 5:17pm Michael 98145:

Yes! Norma Monserrat Bustamante Laferte

5:17pm djsheilab:

andrewb—I did not know about this! Thanks for sharing.

5:19pm andrewb:

according to Irwin anyway

♥ 5:19pm Rob Kopp:

Last week I said I don't care about segues at all, but now I noticed the rolling r's at the end and the instrument at the start of the next siong almost produced the same sound! Well done

♥ 5:20pm Passaic River Blues:

@andrewB: I did not know that and it makes perfect sense!

5:22pm P-90:

After Hours: one of the best movies of the 1980’s, and maybe the very best movie about living in New York in the 1980’s.

♥ 5:22pm chris:

i don't know what it is, but it sounds like something lovely is happening at the Kurenai Hotel.

5:22pm djsheilab:

Haha! Thank you, Rob Kopp. Yeah it's things like that I really try to go for. Segues are important. It can be really unpleasant if two songs don't work together. They don't have to have remotely the same sound; one can be fast n' loud, and the other slow n' soft, yet there can be matching elements. I'm such a stickler for things like this!

♥ 5:23pm Michael 98145:

oh, my. thank you, friends. i don't think we've seen After Hours since it came out. "I'm just a word processor, dammit!"

5:23pm djsheilab:

chris—Indeed!

5:23pm TDK60:

Oh no, Sheila you played "Ain't No Way." I mean "yes!" but wow this almost hurts

♥ 5:24pm tim from champaign:

Yesterday, I saw a preview for Amazing Grace in the theater. It looks pretty damn awesome, even with the Mick Jagger cameos.

5:25pm dale:

had to log on to tell you that 'free from the city' is my absolute favorite poppy family track - the sitar says it was psychedelic but the melody is pure pop.

'that's where i went wrong' is the other standout cut to me.

5:25pm djsheilab:

tim from champaign—PLEASE GO SEE AMAZING GRACE. It is a true gift!

♥ 5:25pm Michael 98145:

@tim, yes, it -is- a must-see! Mick is barely there.

5:26pm andrewb:

Q-What's a segue?
A-about three and a half pounds.

sorry,old one

♥ 5:27pm Rob Kopp:

I was Googling who was singing in the background. It's Cissy Houston. www.youtube.com...

5:29pm Harold Stylez:

Incredible chords on this song

5:31pm Cecile:

I found the Shirley Nanette CD in my back room the other day.

5:32pm JIMD2019:

Hi Sheila wow the reverb on that Aretha was so nice

5:32pm Vanessa Tara:

me too!!!

5:32pm dale:

terri garr.

♥ 5:32pm Ken From Hyde Park:

A week from tonight, Shut Up, Weirdo fills in for Stashu. That's going go be wacky.

♥ 5:33pm Passaic River Blues:

It's sad that all the Franklin girls (Aretha, Erma, and Carolyn) are now gone.

5:33pm pp:

Don't forget Catherine O'Hara in After Hours!

5:33pm harold fridkis:

Ain't No Way by Aretha Franklin reached #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1968.

5:33pm diciassette:

Terri Garr is my favorite! She is supposed to be out of touch (for 1985), but I think she is soooooo cool.

5:34pm Vanessa Tara:

billy stewart's ballads are heartbreakingly beautiful

5:34pm Jeremy:

For those who want to dig in to the ugly particulars of After Hours: http://andrewhearst.com/blog/2008/05/the_scandalous_origins_of_martin_scorseses_after_hours

♥ 5:34pm Michael 98145:

Shut Up and Dance With Me ?

5:35pm djsheilab:

Jeremy—Oh no, I don't think I can handle reading that.

♥ 5:36pm tim from champaign:

Sheila - You should have a Sophisticated Boom Boom After Hours party at Monty Hall.

5:36pm pp:

Catherine in Schitt's Creek is amazing with her fancy vocabulary and costume changes

♥ 5:37pm listener 126464:

sweet show Sheila!

5:38pm Mark:

So ... I've always had a problem with "After Hours"... First: who rides in a cab with all their money in their hand like that!? Then once he leaves Rosanna Arquette's character (burn scars, etc.) why doesn't he just walk home? It would have taken a couple hours, and he would have gotten some sleep!

5:38pm TDK60:

'Ain't No Way' closes Aretha's 'Lady Soul' album.

♥ 5:41pm listener james from westwood:

Oh, good Siouxsie!

5:41pm Monica:

speaking of FB, there was a story in WSJ a few months ago about how FB's ongoing hemorrhaging has resulted in people not remembering birthdays of friends and fam anymore.

5:41pm P-90:

Like the 60’s go-go sound of the organ on this Fabrizia track

♥ 5:41pm chris:

<swoon>

5:42pm ignatatus666:

Sophisticated Boom Boom!!
I’d be lying if I said that doesn’t play back in my head a few times per night while working.

♥ 5:42pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Huh, cool. I didn't know this cover existed.

5:43pm P-90:

oops “Maritza” not “Fabrizia”

5:43pm djsheilab:

Hello to you checking in—ignatatus666, pp + Mark!

5:45pm ignatatus666:

Greetings all
Getting ready for a long night

Saving the bomb for last, Sheila!!! Way to go!!!!

5:53pm queems:

horrifying that this song is still relevant

5:53pm TDK60:

Right on. / Gotta get my laundry outta the drier; great show DJ SB.

♥ 5:53pm Michael 98145:

Thank you again, DJ Sheila. You are our shining star ♫

5:54pm dano59:

Thx for weighing in on this @djsheilab

5:54pm P-90:

5:54pm dale:

love this - sounds like tey borrowed some early steve miller riffs. maybe he borrowed theirs.

5:54pm michaelz:

Great message to end on. But there's so much hope in this song and it's hard to feel that any more. On that grim note thank you Sheila for a great show, and wishing everyone an upbeat weekend.

5:54pm Vanessa Tara:

fist raised!!!

♥ 5:55pm Fox:

This song is BADASS!!! Yay for abortion!!

♥ 5:55pm Michael 98145:

{ i expect my Jeanette CD to appear any day now }

5:55pm slugluv1313:

(and i am "old" enough to remember when abortion was still illegal!)
THANK-YOU SHEILA for a fabulous show!!!

♥ 5:55pm chris:

thanks, Sheila!

5:55pm dale:

jeanette from por que te vas?

♥ 5:55pm Passaic River Blues:

"Papa, Don't Lay That Shit on Me" is a fantastic album title.

♥ 5:55pm Michael 98145:

sounds like they borrowed some instruments, too
:)

♥ 5:56pm Rob Kopp:

They borrowed the riff of Shocking Blue's Venus

5:56pm queems:

THANKS SHEILA & ALL

♥ 5:56pm Z-pulpa:

Thank you for yet another fabulous show Sheila! I have been feeling cooped up and stir crazy at work on this sunny day and your show has been a window out, have a great weekend!!! sending everyone some cheer and love.

5:56pm ScottyG:

It's been a great show! Thanks

5:57pm ncjay:

wonderful show as always, Sheila! Enjoy the weekend, and can hardly wait until your next show!

5:57pm andrewb:

this cut needs a dignified rebuttal from little timmy's "why did you kill me mommy"

5:57pm P-90:

Thanks DJ Sheila B!

5:58pm dale:

pruney old christian white men will die off soon. hopefully.

5:58pm P-90:

“Horror show” —indeed!

5:58pm Monica:

thx, mizz b for another killer diller!

5:59pm dano59:

For a real look at the zeitgeist listen to Catholic Radio -- so far right. Wish they'd excommunicate me

♥ 6:00pm Rob Kopp:

Thanks for tonight, Sheila. Until next week everyone. Happy Eurovision day tomorrow (when your'e looking/listening)

6:02pm Vanessa Tara:

bye everybody ... take care out there!

6:02pm djsheilab:
