	3:02pm Cliff: KLF!!!! Hi Sheila!
	♥ 3:03pm listener james from westwood: Echoing Twitter: Holy fucking shit, this is a fireball of a track!!
	♥ 3:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Someone is going to write a love song now with a title: "I See You, I Like You, I Want You." I can just tell.
	♥ 3:04pm listener james from westwood: Oh, and hi all! And pardon my "Deadwood" pottymouth. :)
	♥ 3:04pm annie: yep, on board and listening!
	♥ 3:05pm listener james from westwood: Blue Man Group used to close its performances with this track and I really hope they still do, because it was like the closing hymn to a religious experience. Also there was toilet paper. LOTS of toilet paper.
	3:06pm steve: hot outta the gate!
	3:06pm modchick65: I googled Sophisticated Boom Boom to get here and accidentally clicked on "sophisticated boys names."
	3:06pm Evan From Seattle: Hola boom-boomers!
	♥ 3:07pm foofs: Yeah, I always use lots after one of my 'religious experiences'.
	3:07pm P-90: Sophisticated Salutations, Sheila B!
	3:07pm Zax: hearing this in tlv. very weird...
	3:08pm Cliff: So did anybody watch Eurovision last weekend? (Lego or human version)
	3:08pm MONEYBAG$: Sheila, I would love to know why your zine was targeted specifically at geese and penguins
	3:08pm badźa: הלילה הוא אפל כל כך
	3:09pm Evan From Seattle: Loving this Oshik Levy track
	♥ 3:09pm listener james from westwood: @Cliff: Didn't see it personally, but my Twitter feed was alive with commentary from US folks. Definitely interest over here!
	3:09pm Cliff: I really wanted Australia to win, then they could've picked Austria as the host country for next year.
	3:10pm Rob Kopp: I watched it, but not all of it. Unlike SBB it's almost impossible to listen 3 hours in row
	3:11pm djsheilab: Hey everyone! Oh man....the pleasure of blasting KLF's "Last Train To Transcentral" here in the studio. HEAVEN. Thanks for the comments on it!
	♥ 3:11pm melinda: hi all
	3:12pm terribilia: woah! so this is rachel goswell's new band
	3:12pm djsheilab: @badza! I wish I could read Hebrew. @Evan from Seattle That Oshik record just came out on a small Israeli label called Sunflowers Records. It comes with a purple box of matches.
	3:13pm djsheilab: @Terribilia Stunning, right? I was particularly floored by this track.
	3:15pm terribilia: yeah, i'm digging it a lot
	3:15pm The Contessa: Hello @Sheila! We've been here listening all along, just couldn't sign in… hello everyone!
	3:16pm djsheilab: Hey @The Contessa! Glad you two are tuned in :)
	♥ 3:17pm rsj: st etienne version next?
	3:18pm djsheilab: @rsj! WOAH.
	3:18pm Rob Kopp: my tip of the week: Bettie Serveert - Never be over
	♥ 3:19pm rsj: the original is great, not familiar with it shamefully
	♥ 3:19pm JtotheK: hi everyone.
	♥ 3:20pm Adrian in London: Thought that might be Minor Victories, like Slowdive turned up to 11. Good stuff. Evening @Sheila and everyone! @Cliff Missed the actual singing/performing half of Eurovision and got home in time for the 'people from foreign countries reading out numbers' bit. But genuinely liked the Bulgarian song – the woman with light-up suspenders and earrings and so on.
	3:20pm colin: I just know Gene Clark's fair and tender ladies version of this song. This is great to hear these versions!
	♥ 3:21pm JP from KC: My tip of the week was 26% for a skilled and attentive bartender.
	3:22pm Cliff: Adrian - according to the commentators on Logo TV, she was wearing the most expensive outfit ever created in the history of Bulgaria. I also liked the gal from Croatia, she took off her huge gown to reveal another huge gown underneath
	3:23pm TehBadDr: Loving the Synth Pop w/ dreamy female vocals!
	3:24pm pierre berthet: i think it's a very old trad. song that joan baez covered. Henri Pousseur made a fantastic analysis of this silver dagger song. But too long to explain here, and anyway, don't really remember it...
	3:24pm djsheilab: @TehBadDr You'd love Saint Etienne then. So many brilliant records.
	3:26pm The Contessa: @Rob Kopp, good suggestion.
	3:27pm The Contessa: @Sheila, this is so dreamy!
	♥ 3:27pm JtotheK: i've yet to find the shirelles 45 'last minute miracle'.
	♥ 3:27pm Adrian in London: @Cliff I do have the whole thing on my digibox thingy but unless yu;re watching everyone being fabulously bitchy about it on twitter at the same time, i can;t help feeling the moment's gone!
	♥ 3:28pm mariano: These songs about guys and their guyish ways -- you should play something by Man Is the Bastard next! [meant in jest, not trying to be one of those MRAs, really digging the tracks...]
	3:30pm Cliff: Adrian, yeah I was trying to encourage some friends over email to watch/kibbitz with me, but they were too cool for that :P
	♥ 3:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Contessa / Adrian in London - How are things there tonight? It's a warm, sunny afternoon in the northeastern US.
	3:37pm Rob Kopp: I know there is a Japanse Kinks-bootleg with the song Lora !
	♥ 3:38pm Carmichael: Heya ms. B and boomers.
	♥ 3:38pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, the "Easy Lover" is strong with that intro.
	♥ 3:38pm Adrian in London: Oh you just know they;ve got their jacket sleeves rolled up while playing the keytar on this
	3:38pm Cliff: When I used to do tech support, I remember all of us guffawing when one of the PC guys said to someone on the phone, "That's X as in, uhhh.... Xenophobia..."
	3:39pm The Contessa: @Ken FHP, lucky you! We had some sun earlier today but most of this week we've been wearing winter clothes.
	3:39pm TehBadDr: retro future retro
	3:40pm djsheilab: @Cliff HA! I love that awkward moment when someone is trying to think of a word + the oddest one comes out.
	♥ 3:42pm sibeliuss: whoaa haven't heard this in so long
	3:44pm Swan_Gone: Aw man! I missed KLF!
	3:46pm Cliff: Sheila - and his nickname was "Zilch" after that, hehe
	3:51pm TehBadDr: Roland TR all over this track!
	♥ 3:51pm Adrian in London: Love this Sally Shapiro track.
	♥ 3:51pm Uncle Michael: Just you and me, Sheila: tinyurl.com...
	♥ 3:52pm listener james from westwood: Gorgeous track, this one!
	♥ 3:53pm listener james from westwood: @UM: Great minds spin alike!
	3:53pm The Contessa: This is LOVELY!
	3:56pm Rob Kopp: Ah Karin Kent, one of the artists in my book PLATENBOEK 1
	3:57pm modchick65: Just a reminder that today is Cher's 70th birthday. And just wondering if the "Take Me Home" album cover actually scared anyone else as a child while shopping at the mall with mom and dad... or if that was just me.
	4:01pm The Contessa: @Sheila! Love this!
	4:03pm famous original sugarwolf: Hello! Missed Eurovision but so everyone's comments on Twitter
	♥ 4:03pm listener james from westwood: _WFMU_ makes me feel alive and free!!
	4:03pm P-90: LOVE that electric sitar tone
	♥ 4:03pm Adrian in London: @modchick65 Wow, that's definitely an album cover…
	4:04pm Rob Kopp: The way Ruth Brown sing in Mama... must have been the example for Aggie Dukes
	4:05pm modchick65: @Adrian. Indeed. It honestly scared me when I saw it in the record section at JC Penny's.
	4:09pm modchick65: Is that Rapper's Delight?
	4:09pm Swan_Gone: Thumbs up! Who hates this song?
	4:09pm Matt in Hillsborough: this tune rules so far
	4:09pm TehBadDr: Great Bossa Nova feel.
	4:10pm Matt in Hillsborough: hell yeah
	4:10pm famous original sugarwolf: Las Ketchup! Lol the first time I heard it was the Jewish parody version on JM in The AM
	♥ 4:10pm Adrian in London: @Sheila I've spent most the day listening to Jeanette so this is fine by me
	4:10pm steve: i will miss Sally Shapiro...
	♥ 4:10pm Bend Sinister: Always liked the christmas version!
	4:10pm djsheilab: @Swan Gone CRAZZZZZY people hate this song!!!!!!
	4:11pm andaloudog: Hello Sheila and everyone. I feel like typing that: I've come to dig this show so much that it's the first thing that comes to mind after I realize that it's Friday. Usually an archived show a week too. I'm driving my friends crazy. Thanks, Sheila!
	♥ 4:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember when Las Ketchup had that song. in the video, they made up a special dance. Aren't they the daughters of The Big Tomato or some story like that?
	4:15pm zmz: omg, i'm half way playing back your shows from the first one! I will soon keep up with you weekly. do mi a favor play LUNACHIKS again. the live one. I know you were there too.
	4:15pm Mike Sin: Just rolled outta work and hit the streets with your show playing in my ears -- I'm enjoying the fun!
	4:19pm modchick65: ANNETTE!
	4:22pm djsheilab: @modchick65 Annette is the greatest! She is summer!
	4:22pm mark r: That "Train of Love" isn't too metaphorical or anything...
	4:23pm modchick65: @djsheilab -- I LOVE Annette!!
	4:24pm modchick65: Wow... what is THIS?
	4:26pm Cokehead Kris: Song crush..:-)
	♥ 4:27pm melinda: Dig the Southern Nights.
	♥ 4:28pm Carmichael: Cool version of Toussaint.
	♥ 4:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: You're going to have to look pretty hard to find a bad cover of "Southern Nights."
	4:29pm mark r: I think you're saying there's going to be an Allen Toussaint Tribute at Lincoln Center, right? Very cool. I'd love to know who's going to be on the bill. "Come to Me Slowly" is so beautiful and breathy and ethereal.
	4:32pm mark r: This will sound weird but if you close your eyes, Barbara Lewis sounds like Smokey Robinson.
	4:32pm modchick65: Wow... I remember this Barbara Lewis song. I need to download it immediately. I don't have it in my collection, and it reminds me of riding in the car with my mom. Thanks for reminding me of it, Sheila. Seriously. I need this one.
	4:33pm Matt in Hillsborough: f*ck whitey!!!!!
	4:36pm Matt in Hillsborough: and today (sad world!)
	♥ 4:37pm Michael 98145: DJ on the radio! www.flickr.com...
	4:38pm Cliff: LLLLUUUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHHHH
	4:39pm Marc15: Homophobia was also alive and well in late 1950s. The picture could've been 2 boys
	4:40pm Cliff: I see Sheila's rockin' those Sony MDR-7506s, we were all in agreement on Liz Berg's show last Tuesday that those are the best headphones
	4:44pm Swan_Gone: One of my greatest triumphs as being a record store clerk was putting Smell The Magic in the hands of a 16 year girl. She came back the next week and bought Babes In Toyland
	♥ 4:45pm Carmichael: How do you "see" that, Cliff?
	4:45pm Cokehead Kris: I wanna !!'
	4:45pm zmz: then she's gonna play APP for sure.
	4:46pm Cliff: I'm clairvoyant, Carmichael. (Or maybe I'm talking about the flickr link posted @4:37 ;)
	4:48pm Cliff: Actually I got my woo mixed up, it's remote viewing not clairvoyance
	4:49pm TehBadDr: Hellz Yeah!
	♥ 4:49pm Guido from Cologne: Hello everybody!
	♥ 4:51pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, ethereal Suicide cover here?
	4:51pm matt: Wow!
	4:51pm Cliff: Listener james - I know, mind blown!
	4:52pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Adrian! indeed
	4:52pm djsheilab: @listener james - that is the PERFECT description!! I want a whole album of this.
	4:53pm djsheilab: I am completely in awe of the beauty in this song. So good it hurts.
	♥ 4:55pm Carmichael: Actually, I thought of Eric Woolfson (and the project) when this song started. Silence and I would be a good follow-up.
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: El Perro Del Mar is just like honey
	♥ 4:57pm Carmichael: Whoa, I was sure this was Don't Answer Me ... I gotta fix my brain, it's stuck in one gear.
	4:57pm Cliff: Perfect transition
	4:58pm JakeGould: Dang! Tuning in on the app during one of my fave Jesus and Mary Chain songs. Thanks, Sheila!
	♥ 4:58pm Adrian in London: According to her Facebook, that EPDM track is, I think, being used on an Ikea ad!?!? Maybe it;s meant t calm shoppers down when they;re trying to find their way to the tilles and are stuck in the children;s furniture department, if our local one is anything to go by. Glad you all liked it as much as I do.
	4:59pm Rob Kopp: I'm off now. Gonna watch an hour long interview on Dutch TV with Max Verstappen (will listen the last hour tomorrow)
	5:00pm Cliff: I thought this was The Ronettes at first...
	♥ 5:01pm Michael 98145: yes, Cliff, me, too.
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Home!BoomBoom! ...missed MaryChain but's okay - I know it...
	5:02pm The Contessa: @Cliff, agreed
	♥ 5:02pm Stashu: I love you!
	♥ 5:02pm Stashu: And your segways!
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: DJ Sheila, YOU are a key talent.
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...woh - should I drink this vino tinto...or is it contraindicated w/ the contact high?!?!...
	♥ 5:03pm listener james from westwood: @Adrian: I heard "I Don't Like Mondays" last night at Trader Joe's. I'd wager less than 1 shopper in 30 knew the backstory. Odd choice for shopping in that context.
	5:04pm Cliff: Can you actually get a contact high over the radio waves?
	5:04pm modchick65: Ha. Terminal 5 is the worst venue ever.
	5:04pm Cokehead Kris: Best boom boom set yet!
	5:07pm drewo: Hi Sheila! Love Polyvinyl's groovy selection of colored vinyl. Got the new Ladyhawke LP on order. Thanks for the preview!
	♥ 5:08pm SeanG: hot sound
	5:09pm Cliff: Hahahaha, love this gender-reversed cover!
	5:10pm JakeGould: Twisted Sister!!!
	5:10pm modchick65: Is this Twisted Sister? I don't know what to say.
	5:10pm mb: i got a cool WFMU card in the mail today. I'm going to use it when i get pulled over.
	♥ 5:11pm listener james from westwood: Oh, man, my sophomore year English teacher was a HUGE FAN of Twisted Sister. It was awesome. Might I add that this was a Catholic high school. He didn't give a rat's ass.
	5:11pm TehBadDr: This beats all of Dee's other shitza.
	5:12pm Cliff: It's got creepy Masonic symbols on it, just like our money. No cop can argue with that
	5:12pm djsheilab: @mb If I can get a significant reduction on a speeding ticket using Phil Collins, you can definitely get something using your WFMU card.
	♥ 5:13pm listener james from westwood: mb, that card is good for one police escort, sirens blaring, to the destination of your choice.
	♥ 5:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: @mb - Please don't speed or make illegal turns just to get yourself pulled over.
	5:15pm djsheilab: @KenFromHydePark Why not? He / she can be our guinea pig!
	♥ 5:17pm Michael 98145: what about living stoned?
	5:17pm Cliff: Here, Officer, please stare at this chicken right in the eye. I am not the speeder you are looking for.
	♥ 5:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Sheila - I was thinking of the safety aspect. I'd hate to hear about a car wreck. Maybe try driving around with a busted taillight for a while.
	5:19pm JakeGould: The WFMU friendship society card can be used to jimmy open crappy door locks!
	5:20pm djsheilab: @KFHP Just playin'!
	5:20pm mb: Protection and Safe Passage in all sovereign states, wheher at peace or war!! lol
	♥ 5:20pm Carmichael: @mb, just tell 'em you have freeform immunity from all local laws.
	♥ 5:21pm listener james from westwood: Or like Ron Swanson's permit: a piece of paper with "I can do whatever I want" written on it.
	♥ 5:22pm Michael 98145: WFMU knows no boundaries
	5:24pm Cliff: You can always pull a Woody Allen and say I've always had trouble respecting authority while ripping up your driver's license (though it might be a little tricky with the plastic ones nowadays, better bring a pair of scissors)
	5:32pm Cliff: The Ramones were trying to be ABBA. That makes so much sense
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Dee Dee' after all was short for 'Dumb Dumb'...but - he could write a song, now, couldn't he?...
	5:32pm matt: You cant picture mick and the boys up there doin it?
	♥ 5:33pm Michael 98145: we'll miss you next week ...
	5:33pm KP: Mick does sing "Rather be with the boys."
	♥ 5:34pm Michael 98145: SUN SUN SUN SUN!!
	5:35pm Cliff: Thanks to Unicode, I can write ᗅᗺᗷᗅ correctly!
	♥ 5:35pm listener james from westwood: ::ducks under table::
	5:36pm JakeGould: Wow! Beach Boy nerds sun riot! Crazy!!!
	5:36pm modchick65: I Live For The Sun is so awesome. When I was in high school, I went through a major '60s surf music phase, and this was always my favorite song. Even more than the Beach Boys. It's not '60s, but "Beach Baby," rules, too.
	♥ 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Evan "Funk" Davies show with director Andy Horn talking about his TS documentary: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 5:44pm listener james from westwood: PSB!
	♥ 5:47pm Michael 98145: ... i thought this was Al Stewart at first
	♥ 5:48pm listener james from westwood: Oh, that hospital couplet was killer.
	5:50pm Cliff: Have you played Queen Latifah on your show yet, Sheila? Gotta represent New Jersey!
	5:51pm djsheilab: @Cliff Not yet! But good call.
	5:52pm TehBadDr: Oi Sheila! This has been some great Boom Boom!
	5:52pm Cokehead Kris: Did Billy Jam show up early?
	♥ 5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: By the way, where's the best place to buy tops for your soccer, basketball, or other sports team? New Jersey!
	5:53pm Cliff: Clay Pigeon played her a coupla weeks ago!
	♥ 5:56pm Carmichael: Hey modchick, that Sunrays song (and the group) was managed by Murry Wilson after his sons fired him.
	♥ 5:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Sheila!
	5:57pm Cliff: Thank you Sheila! <3
	5:58pm P-90: Thanks, Sheila!
	5:58pm The Contessa: Thank you, Sheila. Bye everyone. Have a great weekend!
	♥ 5:58pm Adrian in London: "Play I Live for the Sun again!!!!" smashes window ;-)
	♥ 5:58pm Adrian in London: Lovely show, Sheila xx
	♥ 5:58pm Michael 98145: Good, hear you next week
	5:59pm JakeGould: Have a good one, Shiela!
	6:00pm The Contessa: XO
	♥ 6:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ta!
	6:04pm Les Bowes: Fashion Industry
	9:05pm Clinton O.: Listen to Aftermath by the Stones... it's very pop and just starting to get dark and weird. My favorite record by them. And yes, they'd rather be with the boys
	9:07pm Clinton O.: The Sun Rays? I used to have that record.. I had no idea their music destroyed bars... thought they were unknown weaklings!

Listener comments!
	3:02pm Cliff: KLF!!!! Hi Sheila!
	♥ 3:03pm listener james from westwood: Echoing Twitter: Holy fucking shit, this is a fireball of a track!!
	♥ 3:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Someone is going to write a love song now with a title: "I See You, I Like You, I Want You." I can just tell.
	♥ 3:04pm listener james from westwood: Oh, and hi all! And pardon my "Deadwood" pottymouth. :)
	♥ 3:04pm annie: yep, on board and listening!
	♥ 3:05pm listener james from westwood: Blue Man Group used to close its performances with this track and I really hope they still do, because it was like the closing hymn to a religious experience. Also there was toilet paper. LOTS of toilet paper.
	3:06pm steve: hot outta the gate!
	3:06pm modchick65: I googled Sophisticated Boom Boom to get here and accidentally clicked on "sophisticated boys names."
	3:06pm Evan From Seattle: Hola boom-boomers!
	♥ 3:07pm foofs: Yeah, I always use lots after one of my 'religious experiences'.
	3:07pm P-90: Sophisticated Salutations, Sheila B!
	3:07pm Zax: hearing this in tlv. very weird...
	3:08pm Cliff: So did anybody watch Eurovision last weekend? (Lego or human version)
	3:08pm MONEYBAG$: Sheila, I would love to know why your zine was targeted specifically at geese and penguins
	3:08pm badźa: הלילה הוא אפל כל כך
	3:09pm Evan From Seattle: Loving this Oshik Levy track
	♥ 3:09pm listener james from westwood: @Cliff: Didn't see it personally, but my Twitter feed was alive with commentary from US folks. Definitely interest over here!
	3:09pm Cliff: I really wanted Australia to win, then they could've picked Austria as the host country for next year.
	3:10pm Rob Kopp: I watched it, but not all of it. Unlike SBB it's almost impossible to listen 3 hours in row
	3:11pm djsheilab: Hey everyone! Oh man....the pleasure of blasting KLF's "Last Train To Transcentral" here in the studio. HEAVEN. Thanks for the comments on it!
	♥ 3:11pm melinda: hi all
	3:12pm terribilia: woah! so this is rachel goswell's new band
	3:12pm djsheilab: @badza! I wish I could read Hebrew. @Evan from Seattle That Oshik record just came out on a small Israeli label called Sunflowers Records. It comes with a purple box of matches.
	3:13pm djsheilab: @Terribilia Stunning, right? I was particularly floored by this track.
	3:15pm terribilia: yeah, i'm digging it a lot
	3:15pm The Contessa: Hello @Sheila! We've been here listening all along, just couldn't sign in… hello everyone!
	3:16pm djsheilab: Hey @The Contessa! Glad you two are tuned in :)
	♥ 3:17pm rsj: st etienne version next?
	3:18pm djsheilab: @rsj! WOAH.
	3:18pm Rob Kopp: my tip of the week: Bettie Serveert - Never be over
	♥ 3:19pm rsj: the original is great, not familiar with it shamefully
	♥ 3:19pm JtotheK: hi everyone.
	♥ 3:20pm Adrian in London: Thought that might be Minor Victories, like Slowdive turned up to 11. Good stuff. Evening @Sheila and everyone! @Cliff Missed the actual singing/performing half of Eurovision and got home in time for the 'people from foreign countries reading out numbers' bit. But genuinely liked the Bulgarian song – the woman with light-up suspenders and earrings and so on.
	3:20pm colin: I just know Gene Clark's fair and tender ladies version of this song. This is great to hear these versions!
	♥ 3:21pm JP from KC: My tip of the week was 26% for a skilled and attentive bartender.
	3:22pm Cliff: Adrian - according to the commentators on Logo TV, she was wearing the most expensive outfit ever created in the history of Bulgaria. I also liked the gal from Croatia, she took off her huge gown to reveal another huge gown underneath
	3:23pm TehBadDr: Loving the Synth Pop w/ dreamy female vocals!
	3:24pm pierre berthet: i think it's a very old trad. song that joan baez covered. Henri Pousseur made a fantastic analysis of this silver dagger song. But too long to explain here, and anyway, don't really remember it...
	3:24pm djsheilab: @TehBadDr You'd love Saint Etienne then. So many brilliant records.
	3:26pm The Contessa: @Rob Kopp, good suggestion.
	3:27pm The Contessa: @Sheila, this is so dreamy!
	♥ 3:27pm JtotheK: i've yet to find the shirelles 45 'last minute miracle'.
	♥ 3:27pm Adrian in London: @Cliff I do have the whole thing on my digibox thingy but unless yu;re watching everyone being fabulously bitchy about it on twitter at the same time, i can;t help feeling the moment's gone!
	♥ 3:28pm mariano: These songs about guys and their guyish ways -- you should play something by Man Is the Bastard next! [meant in jest, not trying to be one of those MRAs, really digging the tracks...]
	3:30pm Cliff: Adrian, yeah I was trying to encourage some friends over email to watch/kibbitz with me, but they were too cool for that :P
	♥ 3:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Contessa / Adrian in London - How are things there tonight? It's a warm, sunny afternoon in the northeastern US.
	3:37pm Rob Kopp: I know there is a Japanse Kinks-bootleg with the song Lora !
	♥ 3:38pm Carmichael: Heya ms. B and boomers.
	♥ 3:38pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, the "Easy Lover" is strong with that intro.
	♥ 3:38pm Adrian in London: Oh you just know they;ve got their jacket sleeves rolled up while playing the keytar on this
	3:38pm Cliff: When I used to do tech support, I remember all of us guffawing when one of the PC guys said to someone on the phone, "That's X as in, uhhh.... Xenophobia..."
	3:39pm The Contessa: @Ken FHP, lucky you! We had some sun earlier today but most of this week we've been wearing winter clothes.
	3:39pm TehBadDr: retro future retro
	3:40pm djsheilab: @Cliff HA! I love that awkward moment when someone is trying to think of a word + the oddest one comes out.
	♥ 3:42pm sibeliuss: whoaa haven't heard this in so long
	3:44pm Swan_Gone: Aw man! I missed KLF!
	3:46pm Cliff: Sheila - and his nickname was "Zilch" after that, hehe
	3:51pm TehBadDr: Roland TR all over this track!
	♥ 3:51pm Adrian in London: Love this Sally Shapiro track.
	♥ 3:51pm Uncle Michael: Just you and me, Sheila: tinyurl.com...
	♥ 3:52pm listener james from westwood: Gorgeous track, this one!
	♥ 3:53pm listener james from westwood: @UM: Great minds spin alike!
	3:53pm The Contessa: This is LOVELY!
	3:56pm Rob Kopp: Ah Karin Kent, one of the artists in my book PLATENBOEK 1
	3:57pm modchick65: Just a reminder that today is Cher's 70th birthday. And just wondering if the "Take Me Home" album cover actually scared anyone else as a child while shopping at the mall with mom and dad... or if that was just me.
	4:01pm The Contessa: @Sheila! Love this!
	4:03pm famous original sugarwolf: Hello! Missed Eurovision but so everyone's comments on Twitter
	♥ 4:03pm listener james from westwood: _WFMU_ makes me feel alive and free!!
	4:03pm P-90: LOVE that electric sitar tone
	♥ 4:03pm Adrian in London: @modchick65 Wow, that's definitely an album cover…
	4:04pm Rob Kopp: The way Ruth Brown sing in Mama... must have been the example for Aggie Dukes
	4:05pm modchick65: @Adrian. Indeed. It honestly scared me when I saw it in the record section at JC Penny's.
	4:09pm modchick65: Is that Rapper's Delight?
	4:09pm Swan_Gone: Thumbs up! Who hates this song?
	4:09pm Matt in Hillsborough: this tune rules so far
	4:09pm TehBadDr: Great Bossa Nova feel.
	4:10pm Matt in Hillsborough: hell yeah
	4:10pm famous original sugarwolf: Las Ketchup! Lol the first time I heard it was the Jewish parody version on JM in The AM
	♥ 4:10pm Adrian in London: @Sheila I've spent most the day listening to Jeanette so this is fine by me
	4:10pm steve: i will miss Sally Shapiro...
	♥ 4:10pm Bend Sinister: Always liked the christmas version!
	4:10pm djsheilab: @Swan Gone CRAZZZZZY people hate this song!!!!!!
	4:11pm andaloudog: Hello Sheila and everyone. I feel like typing that: I've come to dig this show so much that it's the first thing that comes to mind after I realize that it's Friday. Usually an archived show a week too. I'm driving my friends crazy. Thanks, Sheila!
	♥ 4:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember when Las Ketchup had that song. in the video, they made up a special dance. Aren't they the daughters of The Big Tomato or some story like that?
	4:15pm zmz: omg, i'm half way playing back your shows from the first one! I will soon keep up with you weekly. do mi a favor play LUNACHIKS again. the live one. I know you were there too.
	4:15pm Mike Sin: Just rolled outta work and hit the streets with your show playing in my ears -- I'm enjoying the fun!
	4:19pm modchick65: ANNETTE!
	4:22pm djsheilab: @modchick65 Annette is the greatest! She is summer!
	4:22pm mark r: That "Train of Love" isn't too metaphorical or anything...
	4:23pm modchick65: @djsheilab -- I LOVE Annette!!
	4:24pm modchick65: Wow... what is THIS?
	4:26pm Cokehead Kris: Song crush..:-)
	♥ 4:27pm melinda: Dig the Southern Nights.
	♥ 4:28pm Carmichael: Cool version of Toussaint.
	♥ 4:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: You're going to have to look pretty hard to find a bad cover of "Southern Nights."
	4:29pm mark r: I think you're saying there's going to be an Allen Toussaint Tribute at Lincoln Center, right? Very cool. I'd love to know who's going to be on the bill. "Come to Me Slowly" is so beautiful and breathy and ethereal.
	4:32pm mark r: This will sound weird but if you close your eyes, Barbara Lewis sounds like Smokey Robinson.
	4:32pm modchick65: Wow... I remember this Barbara Lewis song. I need to download it immediately. I don't have it in my collection, and it reminds me of riding in the car with my mom. Thanks for reminding me of it, Sheila. Seriously. I need this one.
	4:33pm Matt in Hillsborough: f*ck whitey!!!!!
	4:36pm Matt in Hillsborough: and today (sad world!)
	♥ 4:37pm Michael 98145: DJ on the radio! www.flickr.com...
	4:38pm Cliff: LLLLUUUUUUUSSSSSHHHHHHHH
	4:39pm Marc15: Homophobia was also alive and well in late 1950s. The picture could've been 2 boys
	4:40pm Cliff: I see Sheila's rockin' those Sony MDR-7506s, we were all in agreement on Liz Berg's show last Tuesday that those are the best headphones
	4:44pm Swan_Gone: One of my greatest triumphs as being a record store clerk was putting Smell The Magic in the hands of a 16 year girl. She came back the next week and bought Babes In Toyland
	♥ 4:45pm Carmichael: How do you "see" that, Cliff?
	4:45pm Cokehead Kris: I wanna !!'
	4:45pm zmz: then she's gonna play APP for sure.
	4:46pm Cliff: I'm clairvoyant, Carmichael. (Or maybe I'm talking about the flickr link posted @4:37 ;)
	4:48pm Cliff: Actually I got my woo mixed up, it's remote viewing not clairvoyance
	4:49pm TehBadDr: Hellz Yeah!
	♥ 4:49pm Guido from Cologne: Hello everybody!
	♥ 4:51pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, ethereal Suicide cover here?
	4:51pm matt: Wow!
	4:51pm Cliff: Listener james - I know, mind blown!
	4:52pm Rob Kopp: Thanks Adrian! indeed
	4:52pm djsheilab: @listener james - that is the PERFECT description!! I want a whole album of this.
	4:53pm djsheilab: I am completely in awe of the beauty in this song. So good it hurts.
	♥ 4:55pm Carmichael: Actually, I thought of Eric Woolfson (and the project) when this song started. Silence and I would be a good follow-up.
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: El Perro Del Mar is just like honey
	♥ 4:57pm Carmichael: Whoa, I was sure this was Don't Answer Me ... I gotta fix my brain, it's stuck in one gear.
	4:57pm Cliff: Perfect transition
	4:58pm JakeGould: Dang! Tuning in on the app during one of my fave Jesus and Mary Chain songs. Thanks, Sheila!
	♥ 4:58pm Adrian in London: According to her Facebook, that EPDM track is, I think, being used on an Ikea ad!?!? Maybe it;s meant t calm shoppers down when they;re trying to find their way to the tilles and are stuck in the children;s furniture department, if our local one is anything to go by. Glad you all liked it as much as I do.
	4:59pm Rob Kopp: I'm off now. Gonna watch an hour long interview on Dutch TV with Max Verstappen (will listen the last hour tomorrow)
	5:00pm Cliff: I thought this was The Ronettes at first...
	♥ 5:01pm Michael 98145: yes, Cliff, me, too.
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Home!BoomBoom! ...missed MaryChain but's okay - I know it...
	5:02pm The Contessa: @Cliff, agreed
	♥ 5:02pm Stashu: I love you!
	♥ 5:02pm Stashu: And your segways!
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: DJ Sheila, YOU are a key talent.
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...woh - should I drink this vino tinto...or is it contraindicated w/ the contact high?!?!...
	♥ 5:03pm listener james from westwood: @Adrian: I heard "I Don't Like Mondays" last night at Trader Joe's. I'd wager less than 1 shopper in 30 knew the backstory. Odd choice for shopping in that context.
	5:04pm Cliff: Can you actually get a contact high over the radio waves?
	5:04pm modchick65: Ha. Terminal 5 is the worst venue ever.
	5:04pm Cokehead Kris: Best boom boom set yet!
	5:07pm drewo: Hi Sheila! Love Polyvinyl's groovy selection of colored vinyl. Got the new Ladyhawke LP on order. Thanks for the preview!
	♥ 5:08pm SeanG: hot sound
	5:09pm Cliff: Hahahaha, love this gender-reversed cover!
	5:10pm JakeGould: Twisted Sister!!!
	5:10pm modchick65: Is this Twisted Sister? I don't know what to say.
	5:10pm mb: i got a cool WFMU card in the mail today. I'm going to use it when i get pulled over.
	♥ 5:11pm listener james from westwood: Oh, man, my sophomore year English teacher was a HUGE FAN of Twisted Sister. It was awesome. Might I add that this was a Catholic high school. He didn't give a rat's ass.
	5:11pm TehBadDr: This beats all of Dee's other shitza.
	5:12pm Cliff: It's got creepy Masonic symbols on it, just like our money. No cop can argue with that
	5:12pm djsheilab: @mb If I can get a significant reduction on a speeding ticket using Phil Collins, you can definitely get something using your WFMU card.
	♥ 5:13pm listener james from westwood: mb, that card is good for one police escort, sirens blaring, to the destination of your choice.
	♥ 5:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: @mb - Please don't speed or make illegal turns just to get yourself pulled over.
	5:15pm djsheilab: @KenFromHydePark Why not? He / she can be our guinea pig!
	♥ 5:17pm Michael 98145: what about living stoned?
	5:17pm Cliff: Here, Officer, please stare at this chicken right in the eye. I am not the speeder you are looking for.
	♥ 5:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Sheila - I was thinking of the safety aspect. I'd hate to hear about a car wreck. Maybe try driving around with a busted taillight for a while.
	5:19pm JakeGould: The WFMU friendship society card can be used to jimmy open crappy door locks!
	5:20pm djsheilab: @KFHP Just playin'!
	5:20pm mb: Protection and Safe Passage in all sovereign states, wheher at peace or war!! lol
	♥ 5:20pm Carmichael: @mb, just tell 'em you have freeform immunity from all local laws.
	♥ 5:21pm listener james from westwood: Or like Ron Swanson's permit: a piece of paper with "I can do whatever I want" written on it.
	♥ 5:22pm Michael 98145: WFMU knows no boundaries
	5:24pm Cliff: You can always pull a Woody Allen and say I've always had trouble respecting authority while ripping up your driver's license (though it might be a little tricky with the plastic ones nowadays, better bring a pair of scissors)
	5:32pm Cliff: The Ramones were trying to be ABBA. That makes so much sense
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Dee Dee' after all was short for 'Dumb Dumb'...but - he could write a song, now, couldn't he?...
	5:32pm matt: You cant picture mick and the boys up there doin it?
	♥ 5:33pm Michael 98145: we'll miss you next week ...
	5:33pm KP: Mick does sing "Rather be with the boys."
	♥ 5:34pm Michael 98145: SUN SUN SUN SUN!!
	5:35pm Cliff: Thanks to Unicode, I can write ᗅᗺᗷᗅ correctly!
	♥ 5:35pm listener james from westwood: ::ducks under table::
	5:36pm JakeGould: Wow! Beach Boy nerds sun riot! Crazy!!!
	5:36pm modchick65: I Live For The Sun is so awesome. When I was in high school, I went through a major '60s surf music phase, and this was always my favorite song. Even more than the Beach Boys. It's not '60s, but "Beach Baby," rules, too.
	♥ 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Evan "Funk" Davies show with director Andy Horn talking about his TS documentary: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 5:44pm listener james from westwood: PSB!
	♥ 5:47pm Michael 98145: ... i thought this was Al Stewart at first
	♥ 5:48pm listener james from westwood: Oh, that hospital couplet was killer.
	5:50pm Cliff: Have you played Queen Latifah on your show yet, Sheila? Gotta represent New Jersey!
	5:51pm djsheilab: @Cliff Not yet! But good call.
	5:52pm TehBadDr: Oi Sheila! This has been some great Boom Boom!
	5:52pm Cokehead Kris: Did Billy Jam show up early?
	♥ 5:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: By the way, where's the best place to buy tops for your soccer, basketball, or other sports team? New Jersey!
	5:53pm Cliff: Clay Pigeon played her a coupla weeks ago!
	♥ 5:56pm Carmichael: Hey modchick, that Sunrays song (and the group) was managed by Murry Wilson after his sons fired him.
	♥ 5:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Sheila!
	5:57pm Cliff: Thank you Sheila! <3
	5:58pm P-90: Thanks, Sheila!
	5:58pm The Contessa: Thank you, Sheila. Bye everyone. Have a great weekend!
	♥ 5:58pm Adrian in London: "Play I Live for the Sun again!!!!" smashes window ;-)
	♥ 5:58pm Adrian in London: Lovely show, Sheila xx
	♥ 5:58pm Michael 98145: Good, hear you next week
	5:59pm JakeGould: Have a good one, Shiela!
	6:00pm The Contessa: XO
	♥ 6:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ta!
	6:04pm Les Bowes: Fashion Industry
	9:05pm Clinton O.: Listen to Aftermath by the Stones... it's very pop and just starting to get dark and weird. My favorite record by them. And yes, they'd rather be with the boys
	9:07pm Clinton O.: The Sun Rays? I used to have that record.. I had no idea their music destroyed bars... thought they were unknown weaklings!
