Funny comment, Miss G. I think Sheila B. may be one of the best at mixing music from different eras and genres. One of the reasons I really enjoy this show so much. Loving this Old Codger-esq track from the 1940s! And then she'll play something funky from the 1970s, and then maybe something brand new that's really awesome too. Love it all and of course love the focus on female-fronted bands.

re: Marathon Swag -- just have to say, that I was a bit worried about the Sophisticated Boom Boom tee shirt as I am not so young any longer and I was concerned about the placement of the hand (I have a young niece thank goodness!) but I love it and I wore it and all was well (but thank goodness I did use my local station's tote bag the other day, when TWO people passed me wearing their recent fund-raising tee OMG if I had been wearing the wrong tee they would have run me out on a rail

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

I haven't purchased music in a long time because there's always great stuff on the radio, haha.

I also see that buses in Lower Manhattan are being truncated to the north or detoured because of Holland Tunnel traffic, which is a policy failure on multiple levels that is so horrible, unacceptable, and unfair that I can't even wrap my head around it. Less than a week after the I.P.C.C. climate crisis report, no less. We have to, we must, do better.
  4:25pm
Miss G:

So, Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz, I was thinking of this as I signed on: .Sheila B played this fantastic song some months ago by Laura Mvula "Green Garden." I play it all the time in my car, driving around. And I feel like the end, with the lyrics "I'll go wherever you go, Wherever you take me, I'll go" that it reminds me of how I am when I tune into WFMU. Because, I'm normally very controlling about my auditory space. But at WFMU, I just open myself, to hear whatever is played.

Fascinating. Parallel to 'Dancing In the Streets' by Barbara Ehrenreich about the history of Collective Celebration - & how Xianity & islam got co-opted by Patriarchal Militant Imperialists... & everything McKenna posits about the Archaic Revival restoring us to our unwritten Matriarchal past in the Woods & Forests. & then of course everything 'Shadow Dancing in the USA" by Michael Ventura for example details abut the Drum in the ew World: the African & the First Nations peoples we're of course all deprived of the Drum.
