	3:04pm Swan_Gone: I listen to this as I put records up for auction at work! How unexpectedly appropriate!
	♥ 3:05pm Matt ww: HEY HEY Shei LA LA
	3:06pm modchick65: @MattWW... Hey Hey La La is a GREAT band name.
	3:06pm JakeGould: If rock and roll were a record it would be $10 on Discogs.
	♥ 3:08pm Matt ww: If I were a rock and roll record i'd be in the dollar bin
	3:08pm P-90: It's Sheila B, bringin' the Boom Boom big time! Hi Sheila!
	♥ 3:09pm Guido from Cologne: hello Sheila
	3:09pm Joe R.: NRBQ covered that Teresa Brewer song when I saw them a few months ago and it was AWESOME
	3:09pm modchick65: I thought this was Kirsty MacColl.
	3:10pm JakeGould: @Matt ww: You would be easy to flip to the B-side, right? rimshot
	♥ 3:10pm Matt ww: TOO SOON
	3:12pm JakeGould: @Matt ww: I flip my joke back over to me.
	♥ 3:12pm Greg from ZONE 5: Haha—KNEW this joint was coming…no pun intended…
	♥ 3:12pm Matt ww: I'm flipping you the bird right now
	3:13pm djsheilab: @Greg from Zone 5 No set about records would be complete without it!
	3:13pm JakeGould: Okay, okay… Don’t flip your lid!
	♥ 3:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: A view looking down on the crane tipping over this morning. twitter.com... First it starts falling over. Then it falls over.
	3:15pm The Contessa: Love this. So sad
	3:17pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: I think you forgot the album title from the Bull Moose Jackson track “Big Ten Inch Record”: “Well Hung Out to Dry.”
	3:18pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: In high school in the 1980s I used to work at 40 Worth Street. Crappy clerk job but it was a good summer job. Good think I don’t work there any more because being a clerk for that long who got crushed by a crane would be one sad epitaph.
	3:20pm mg: "I lived in my bedroom. All of us did". I so adore this song.
	3:21pm djsheilab: This so perfectly + beautifully details our relationship with music.
	3:21pm JakeGould: “Rush” has little meaning to me nowadays since I exited puberty.
	3:22pm drewo: Been listening to some recent Dexy's - sounds good if you like classic 1st LP Dexy's.
	♥ 3:24pm Uncle Michael: I lied.
	3:26pm modchick65: Kings of Convenience... I thought this was This Is Ivy League. Nice.
	3:27pm Jeff: I thought that sounded Kings of Convenience busy channeling S&G-type harmonies.
	♥ 3:33pm Greg from ZONE 5: That's funny—first thing I thought when I heard "records about records" was "McGasko".
	3:34pm P-90: I just CAN'T belueve that Bleecker Bob's is gone. It's maybe the one single long-standing festure of the Manhattan landscape that is gone, that I CAN'T believe is gone. Every time someone mentions that it's gone, I have this spasm of anger/ denial/grief...
	3:35pm Brendan: What's happenin' boomboomers?
	3:36pm djsheilab: Here is Joe's set from Monday: wfmu.org...
	3:36pm JakeGould: @P-90: My mind was blown in the 1990s when I discovered the “nice” deli I liked on Park Avenue South used to be Max’s Kansas City.
	3:37pm JakeGould: Which is to say if you make a list of places in NYC that are no longer, it‘s one sad reflection of how little this city actually cares about it’s modern cultural history.
	3:37pm βrian: This tomato-bisque background really calls for a sprig of fresh dill.
	3:37pm Swan_Gone: Totally great pop jam I would not have heard otherwise! Thanks!
	3:38pm modchick65: I liked that Niki & the Dove song. It reminded me of the 80s.
	♥ 3:38pm Adrian in London: Ooh, Kim was just on TV on a TOTP 81 rerun
	♥ 3:39pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, I thought that was Kim Wilde, but I'd never heard this cut before!
	3:39pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London I can't get enough of Kim. So many excellent, under-rated records.
	3:40pm Swan_Gone: The laundromat I wash at plays a lot of Kim Wilde... and I ain't mad at it
	♥ 3:40pm Stevel: Always liked Kim Wilde, and rarely even tire of Kids in America. So, djsheilab, are you a Missing Persons fan?
	♥ 3:41pm Adrian in London: She seems like fun in interviews and whatnot
	3:42pm Brendan: I wish my laundromat had music. And a bar. That would be ideal.
	♥ 3:42pm Adrian in London: Ooh, this Sylvan track is great!
	3:42pm djsheilab: @Stevel I don't know much by Missing Persons. Any pointers?
	3:43pm Cliff: Hello Sheila and everybody, just tuning in
	♥ 3:45pm Adrian in London: @DJSheilaB Was that the original 7 of Sylvan? It's never been sold on Dscogs.
	3:46pm Baumer!: Love this Rosey Grier track!
	3:46pm djsheilab: Yup @Adrian, that's an original I just played. I found it years ago when I was living in London in 1997.
	♥ 3:47pm Stevel: Dale Bozzio had a Lauper-ish voice and could pop out super high notes that I found just swell. Walking in LA was their hit. Terry Bozzio, her husband, was the drummer, also played drums for Zappa on Sheik Yerbouti and Joe's Garage. Sharp new-wave pop. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 3:48pm JtotheK: cool sarah vaughan track.
	♥ 3:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember the Missing Persons album Spring Session M.
	♥ 3:48pm Stevel: ...my personal favorite, Mental Hopscotch. www.youtube.com...
	3:49pm geezerette: pink champagne was the cause of it all.
	♥ 3:49pm Scott Williams: 2nding Stevel here, Mental Hopscotch is killer! Big hits were Destination Unknown and Words
	3:49pm P-90: DJ Joe McG. does an exemplary job, he's a reliable antidote to the Monday morning blues.
	3:50pm Brendan: Mint Julep Listerine w/ Tartar Sauce Control
	♥ 3:51pm Stevel: Scott Williams: I'd forgotten how many hits they had.
	3:52pm modchick65: ANNETTE!!!
	3:52pm geezerette: @Brendan Now with glitter infused micro beads.
	3:56pm Baumer!: Killing it as usual today @DJSheilaB! This show is like church for me now.
	3:58pm Cliff: "Czech Up", heheh
	♥ 3:58pm Yvang: For sure Dorothee on WFMU will produce very extreme reactions among your french listeners either positive or negative.
	3:58pm modchick65: The Bezinky track sounds like Abba. You're psyching me out on so many of these today!
	3:59pm Brendan: @geezerette Bite into 'em for a burst of flavor!
	3:59pm KP: Hey, Sheila!
	♥ 4:01pm common: hello! in the midst of moving to west philly. good sounds to move to!
	4:01pm geezerette: @Brendan yummy micro boba!
	4:02pm P-90: Popcorn: the next hipster phenom?
	4:04pm modchick65: Barry/Greenwich were my absolute favorites. Followed by Goffin/King. So good.
	4:05pm Listening Out There: I think Mohammed Ali made a record.
	♥ 4:06pm JtotheK: Roosevelt Grier has a cool version of 'In My Tenement' 45... but I really like the Jackie Shane version...
	4:07pm Listening Out There: Ali's song is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqMk-AuTDZE
	4:14pm djsheilab: I don't have the original 7" of this FAB Shivvers record. $450 on discogs!!!!!!
	4:16pm LightningsGirl: Apparently John Mcenroe is on two records - who knew? www.discogs.com...
	4:17pm djsheilab: @LightningsGirl John McEnroe?!!! Yes!! I need to hear those.
	♥ 4:18pm MattBelow: This is a hot track
	4:19pm LightningsGirl: "Full Metal Rackets" HA! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 4:24pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I've been trying to figure out if any female athletes made records, and have come up short. The best bet would have been Olympics athletes, such as Nadia Comaneci or Flo-Jo. But no dice.
	4:25pm Swan_Gone: Hot jam alert!
	4:27pm Swan_Gone: then the Cocteaus! Damn!
	♥ 4:27pm listener james from westwood: The Cocteau Hour has arrived!
	4:27pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and citizens.
	4:29pm djsheilab: Thanks for looking into it @Gaylord Fields. No Chris Evert records? Someone really shoulda thought of that for her.
	♥ 4:29pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: The closest I have is a 45 that Jean Terrell recorded as a duet with her heavyweight boxing champ brother Ernie: "Grandpa's House," on Calla.
	4:30pm djsheilab: Thanks to all of you for the recommendations-Missing Persons, Mohammed Ali, etc!
	♥ 4:33pm common: thanks for the cocteau twins, sheilab! did take me back to 84...because i'm old.
	4:34pm wtf: aha.. I have similar memories... :)
	4:35pm SheWolf: Bleecker Bob's was in decline for years. fond memories of youth....one of first boyfriends (from england!) met there
	4:36pm P-90: Kim's Underground! Another institution that should have endured forever... (sigh)
	♥ 4:37pm MattBelow: Yes! Can't wait to pick up the Bizarre collection. Bye, Bye, Bye top notch tune
	4:37pm KP: Joe McGasko, writer of note!
	4:40pm Brendan: Liked Ali, but Smokin' Joe was my my main man : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0TbMPu1di6I
	4:40pm Adrian in London: Love the 'woooh's in this track!
	4:41pm drewo: Love Other Music. Other Music Recording has put out quality music for a while now. Lately I've been grooving to the Boogarins on that label. I think Evan 'Funk' Davies clued me into that band.
	♥ 4:41pm JtotheK: yeah! love this track! nice choice, Sheila!!!
	♥ 4:42pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Hawaii Five-O!
	♥ 4:43pm JtotheK: *meaning the Velvets, which I hope to find on 20th Century Fox... someday.
	♥ 4:43pm sashajones: Been lurking and doing freelance work but hiiii loving the show Sheila!
	4:43pm Adrian in London: When I was a boy I had the Theme from Hawaii Five-0 on 7 with the theme from Black Beauty on the flip.
	♥ 4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tikis ~= Harper's Bizarre. Got it.
	♥ 4:44pm common: @adrian: my dad had that when i was a kid! nice memory!
	♥ 4:44pm Mark the Sardine: This show rocks.
	4:47pm wheatdog: Did you know that the bass player from Steely Dan played bass on the Hawaii 5 O theme ?Chuck Rainey..
	4:47pm djsheilab: Waiter, a glass of champagne please!
	♥ 4:47pm Guido from Cologne: Ooops ... aktually i got a pat suzuki LP ... but with lesser musical repertoire
	4:48pm Carmichael: Cham-pan-ye ..
	4:48pm The Contessa: @Sheila, we've got some…
	4:51pm Roberto: So that's the chorus -- "Rock Me a Little While." When I was a kid and the Doobie Brothers version was a hit, I thought it was "Rugby Luau."
	♥ 4:52pm common: ha! so much better, roberto!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Hmmm...my images aren't working at the mo. Are they working for you?
	♥ 4:56pm Guido from Cologne: no images
	4:56pm SeanG: they work when I refresh the page
	♥ 4:56pm Guido from Cologne: images back
	♥ 4:56pm JtotheK: images have broken link icon... :(
	♥ 4:57pm JtotheK: homepage --> back to playlist -- images return! :)
	♥ 4:59pm Guido from Cologne: this meek compilation contains my favourite version of "dumb head"
	5:00pm drewo: I love Drew... from Beverly! Met her after a Frankie Rose show a while back.
	5:01pm Adrian in London: @common it may still be somewhere in my parents' house.
	♥ 5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...stop apologizing for apologizing!...
	5:05pm Swan_Gone: What a scumbag!
	♥ 5:05pm Stevel: Yay! Men being assholes! [sigh]
	5:05pm Cliff: Is it 2016 or 1956? I can't remember
	♥ 5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I suppose the male DJs have to be models too - oh brother...I'm sure he's a stunner himself, right??...
	♥ 5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what if she's a plain DJ - but she has physically perfect male go-go dancers??...
	5:08pm U-Ron: Yeah these sexist and racists are everywhere. What to do? Expose and ostracize them whenever and where ever possible. Attack them at every turn.
	5:09pm Carmichael: "I say we tie him to the car and drag him ..."
	5:13pm statoj: Sheilab, got here just in time to hear your excellent comments on sexism in the world. My take is as follows: there is a Finite amount of psychic space for the Human Attitude. By putting the Sheilab Attitude out there, you have reduced the available space for Asshole-ism to survive. Well done and bless you. And nice Song of the Week too!
	5:18pm SeanG: oh man this is a good one
	5:19pm djsheilab: @Statoj! AMEN!! Thank you for awesome words!
	♥ 5:19pm listener james from westwood: Indeed! This and "Point of No Return" were solid back in the day and still are.
	♥ 5:19pm common: @adrian: if you find it, enjoy...and then send it to me!
	5:21pm P-90: Haven't heard this Expose in years. Not bad at all, it's aged pretty well.
	5:21pm statoj: I want an outfit like the Exposee lady on the right!
	5:27pm statoj: That "oo LA LA" is beatle-esque
	5:30pm Carmichael: It reminded me of Cockney Rebel's "Make Me Smile". Produced by Alan Parsons, who engineered on the Beatles last 2 albums. Weird ...
	5:32pm statoj: Carmichael, I did not know that! Music has DNA.
	5:33pm djsheilab: @Carmichael. Alan Parsons is my hero. I've never heard of Cockney Rebel.
	5:34pm statoj: M83 album cover shows 50s, 60s and 80s. No 70s? Guess they did not like disco.
	5:35pm Adrian in London: Ooh, Sheila, you must hear Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile) and Sebastian.
	5:39pm chrissy: Fair if fair!
	5:39pm modchick65: INVINCIBLE!!!
	5:39pm Adrian in London: Cool! We're seeing Villagers next Friday so we won't miss you live.
	5:41pm P-90: The cognoscenti have known for years that "The Legend of Billie Jean", while not exactly brilliant, is underrated and def worth a view. (whoever the hell those "cognoscenti" are...)
	5:43pm P-90: This Benatar track is reminding me how they liked to record drums in the 80s.
	5:43pm chrissy: obv meant to say fair IS fair. duh.
	5:45pm Mr. Machine: This just became the best show ever!!! Invincible and Giant Peach back to back. I'm a happy man.
	5:45pm djsheilab: @chrissy YESSSSSSSS!!!! Totally forgot about that line!
	5:45pm djsheilab: @Adrian thanks for the tips!
	5:46pm djsheilab: Thanks @Mr. Machine! I was needing the heavy rawk today.
	5:47pm statoj: Feb 19th Lesley Gore I can't wait!!!
	5:48pm Dan: miss you next week already
	5:49pm P-90: I miss you next week already too. (sniff)
	5:50pm djsheilab: I love you guys!!!
	5:51pm Cliff: Thank you Sheila, and see you in two weeks!
	5:51pm geezerette: djsheilab-au-go-go!!!
	♥ 5:52pm Adrian in London: lies on floor, hangs onto Sheila's ankle, wails 'Don't gooooooo!!!!!!'
	♥ 5:54pm maestroso: Awesome show djsheilab! Drive time for me so I couldn't comment 'til now.
	5:54pm U-Ron: The Shangri-Las! Coolness itself. Always a pleasure.
	5:54pm KP: the Swans were great at Primavera
	5:54pm Carmichael: @Sheila: Steve Harley was Cockney Rebel's genius leader. If you heard the song, you'd recognize it (especially the "ooh-la-las"). debuted at #1, as did Parson's next effort, Pilot's "Magic".
	5:56pm Swan_Gone: Thanks fer gettin' me through another work day!
	♥ 5:56pm listener james from westwood: Always a blast! Thanks, Sheila!
	5:57pm Carmichael: And Harley returned the favor by singin on I Robot ("The Voice"). Oh, and Lesley Duncan sang on Parson's Eve. What a tangled web ...
	5:58pm The Contessa: Thanks!
	6:00pm P-90: Domo arigato, Sheila-san! Enjoy that week off!

	3:06pm JakeGould: If rock and roll were a record it would be $10 on Discogs.
	♥ 3:08pm Matt ww: If I were a rock and roll record i'd be in the dollar bin
	3:08pm P-90: It's Sheila B, bringin' the Boom Boom big time! Hi Sheila!
	♥ 3:09pm Guido from Cologne: hello Sheila
	3:09pm Joe R.: NRBQ covered that Teresa Brewer song when I saw them a few months ago and it was AWESOME
	3:09pm modchick65: I thought this was Kirsty MacColl.
	3:10pm JakeGould: @Matt ww: You would be easy to flip to the B-side, right? rimshot
	♥ 3:10pm Matt ww: TOO SOON
	3:12pm JakeGould: @Matt ww: I flip my joke back over to me.
	♥ 3:12pm Greg from ZONE 5: Haha—KNEW this joint was coming…no pun intended…
	♥ 3:12pm Matt ww: I'm flipping you the bird right now
	3:13pm djsheilab: @Greg from Zone 5 No set about records would be complete without it!
	3:13pm JakeGould: Okay, okay… Don’t flip your lid!
	♥ 3:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: A view looking down on the crane tipping over this morning. twitter.com... First it starts falling over. Then it falls over.
	3:15pm The Contessa: Love this. So sad
	3:17pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: I think you forgot the album title from the Bull Moose Jackson track “Big Ten Inch Record”: “Well Hung Out to Dry.”
	3:18pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: In high school in the 1980s I used to work at 40 Worth Street. Crappy clerk job but it was a good summer job. Good think I don’t work there any more because being a clerk for that long who got crushed by a crane would be one sad epitaph.
	3:20pm mg: "I lived in my bedroom. All of us did". I so adore this song.
	3:21pm djsheilab: This so perfectly + beautifully details our relationship with music.
	3:21pm JakeGould: “Rush” has little meaning to me nowadays since I exited puberty.
	3:22pm drewo: Been listening to some recent Dexy's - sounds good if you like classic 1st LP Dexy's.
	♥ 3:24pm Uncle Michael: I lied.
	3:26pm modchick65: Kings of Convenience... I thought this was This Is Ivy League. Nice.
	3:27pm Jeff: I thought that sounded Kings of Convenience busy channeling S&G-type harmonies.
	♥ 3:33pm Greg from ZONE 5: That's funny—first thing I thought when I heard "records about records" was "McGasko".
	3:34pm P-90: I just CAN'T belueve that Bleecker Bob's is gone. It's maybe the one single long-standing festure of the Manhattan landscape that is gone, that I CAN'T believe is gone. Every time someone mentions that it's gone, I have this spasm of anger/ denial/grief...
	3:35pm Brendan: What's happenin' boomboomers?
	3:36pm djsheilab: Here is Joe's set from Monday: wfmu.org...
	3:36pm JakeGould: @P-90: My mind was blown in the 1990s when I discovered the “nice” deli I liked on Park Avenue South used to be Max’s Kansas City.
	3:37pm JakeGould: Which is to say if you make a list of places in NYC that are no longer, it‘s one sad reflection of how little this city actually cares about it’s modern cultural history.
	3:37pm βrian: This tomato-bisque background really calls for a sprig of fresh dill.
	3:37pm Swan_Gone: Totally great pop jam I would not have heard otherwise! Thanks!
	3:38pm modchick65: I liked that Niki & the Dove song. It reminded me of the 80s.
	♥ 3:38pm Adrian in London: Ooh, Kim was just on TV on a TOTP 81 rerun
	♥ 3:39pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, I thought that was Kim Wilde, but I'd never heard this cut before!
	3:39pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London I can't get enough of Kim. So many excellent, under-rated records.
	3:40pm Swan_Gone: The laundromat I wash at plays a lot of Kim Wilde... and I ain't mad at it
	♥ 3:40pm Stevel: Always liked Kim Wilde, and rarely even tire of Kids in America. So, djsheilab, are you a Missing Persons fan?
	♥ 3:41pm Adrian in London: She seems like fun in interviews and whatnot
	3:42pm Brendan: I wish my laundromat had music. And a bar. That would be ideal.
	♥ 3:42pm Adrian in London: Ooh, this Sylvan track is great!
	3:42pm djsheilab: @Stevel I don't know much by Missing Persons. Any pointers?
	3:43pm Cliff: Hello Sheila and everybody, just tuning in
	♥ 3:45pm Adrian in London: @DJSheilaB Was that the original 7 of Sylvan? It's never been sold on Dscogs.
	3:46pm Baumer!: Love this Rosey Grier track!
	3:46pm djsheilab: Yup @Adrian, that's an original I just played. I found it years ago when I was living in London in 1997.
	♥ 3:47pm Stevel: Dale Bozzio had a Lauper-ish voice and could pop out super high notes that I found just swell. Walking in LA was their hit. Terry Bozzio, her husband, was the drummer, also played drums for Zappa on Sheik Yerbouti and Joe's Garage. Sharp new-wave pop. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 3:48pm JtotheK: cool sarah vaughan track.
	♥ 3:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: I remember the Missing Persons album Spring Session M.
	♥ 3:48pm Stevel: ...my personal favorite, Mental Hopscotch. www.youtube.com...
	3:49pm geezerette: pink champagne was the cause of it all.
	♥ 3:49pm Scott Williams: 2nding Stevel here, Mental Hopscotch is killer! Big hits were Destination Unknown and Words
	3:49pm P-90: DJ Joe McG. does an exemplary job, he's a reliable antidote to the Monday morning blues.
	3:50pm Brendan: Mint Julep Listerine w/ Tartar Sauce Control
	♥ 3:51pm Stevel: Scott Williams: I'd forgotten how many hits they had.
	3:52pm modchick65: ANNETTE!!!
	3:52pm geezerette: @Brendan Now with glitter infused micro beads.
	3:56pm Baumer!: Killing it as usual today @DJSheilaB! This show is like church for me now.
	3:58pm Cliff: "Czech Up", heheh
	♥ 3:58pm Yvang: For sure Dorothee on WFMU will produce very extreme reactions among your french listeners either positive or negative.
	3:58pm modchick65: The Bezinky track sounds like Abba. You're psyching me out on so many of these today!
	3:59pm Brendan: @geezerette Bite into 'em for a burst of flavor!
	3:59pm KP: Hey, Sheila!
	♥ 4:01pm common: hello! in the midst of moving to west philly. good sounds to move to!
	4:01pm geezerette: @Brendan yummy micro boba!
	4:02pm P-90: Popcorn: the next hipster phenom?
	4:04pm modchick65: Barry/Greenwich were my absolute favorites. Followed by Goffin/King. So good.
	4:05pm Listening Out There: I think Mohammed Ali made a record.
	♥ 4:06pm JtotheK: Roosevelt Grier has a cool version of 'In My Tenement' 45... but I really like the Jackie Shane version...
	4:07pm Listening Out There: Ali's song is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqMk-AuTDZE
	4:14pm djsheilab: I don't have the original 7" of this FAB Shivvers record. $450 on discogs!!!!!!
	4:16pm LightningsGirl: Apparently John Mcenroe is on two records - who knew? www.discogs.com...
	4:17pm djsheilab: @LightningsGirl John McEnroe?!!! Yes!! I need to hear those.
	♥ 4:18pm MattBelow: This is a hot track
	4:19pm LightningsGirl: "Full Metal Rackets" HA! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 4:24pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I've been trying to figure out if any female athletes made records, and have come up short. The best bet would have been Olympics athletes, such as Nadia Comaneci or Flo-Jo. But no dice.
	4:25pm Swan_Gone: Hot jam alert!
	4:27pm Swan_Gone: then the Cocteaus! Damn!
	♥ 4:27pm listener james from westwood: The Cocteau Hour has arrived!
	4:27pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and citizens.
	4:29pm djsheilab: Thanks for looking into it @Gaylord Fields. No Chris Evert records? Someone really shoulda thought of that for her.
	♥ 4:29pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: The closest I have is a 45 that Jean Terrell recorded as a duet with her heavyweight boxing champ brother Ernie: "Grandpa's House," on Calla.
	4:30pm djsheilab: Thanks to all of you for the recommendations-Missing Persons, Mohammed Ali, etc!
	♥ 4:33pm common: thanks for the cocteau twins, sheilab! did take me back to 84...because i'm old.
	4:34pm wtf: aha.. I have similar memories... :)
	4:35pm SheWolf: Bleecker Bob's was in decline for years. fond memories of youth....one of first boyfriends (from england!) met there
	4:36pm P-90: Kim's Underground! Another institution that should have endured forever... (sigh)
	♥ 4:37pm MattBelow: Yes! Can't wait to pick up the Bizarre collection. Bye, Bye, Bye top notch tune
	4:37pm KP: Joe McGasko, writer of note!
	4:40pm Brendan: Liked Ali, but Smokin' Joe was my my main man : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0TbMPu1di6I
	4:40pm Adrian in London: Love the 'woooh's in this track!
	4:41pm drewo: Love Other Music. Other Music Recording has put out quality music for a while now. Lately I've been grooving to the Boogarins on that label. I think Evan 'Funk' Davies clued me into that band.
	♥ 4:41pm JtotheK: yeah! love this track! nice choice, Sheila!!!
	♥ 4:42pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Hawaii Five-O!
	♥ 4:43pm JtotheK: *meaning the Velvets, which I hope to find on 20th Century Fox... someday.
	♥ 4:43pm sashajones: Been lurking and doing freelance work but hiiii loving the show Sheila!
	4:43pm Adrian in London: When I was a boy I had the Theme from Hawaii Five-0 on 7 with the theme from Black Beauty on the flip.
	♥ 4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tikis ~= Harper's Bizarre. Got it.
	♥ 4:44pm common: @adrian: my dad had that when i was a kid! nice memory!
	♥ 4:44pm Mark the Sardine: This show rocks.
	4:47pm wheatdog: Did you know that the bass player from Steely Dan played bass on the Hawaii 5 O theme ?Chuck Rainey..
	4:47pm djsheilab: Waiter, a glass of champagne please!
	♥ 4:47pm Guido from Cologne: Ooops ... aktually i got a pat suzuki LP ... but with lesser musical repertoire
	4:48pm Carmichael: Cham-pan-ye ..
	4:48pm The Contessa: @Sheila, we've got some…
	4:51pm Roberto: So that's the chorus -- "Rock Me a Little While." When I was a kid and the Doobie Brothers version was a hit, I thought it was "Rugby Luau."
	♥ 4:52pm common: ha! so much better, roberto!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Hmmm...my images aren't working at the mo. Are they working for you?
	♥ 4:56pm Guido from Cologne: no images
	4:56pm SeanG: they work when I refresh the page
	♥ 4:56pm Guido from Cologne: images back
	♥ 4:56pm JtotheK: images have broken link icon... :(
	♥ 4:57pm JtotheK: homepage --> back to playlist -- images return! :)
	♥ 4:59pm Guido from Cologne: this meek compilation contains my favourite version of "dumb head"
	5:00pm drewo: I love Drew... from Beverly! Met her after a Frankie Rose show a while back.
	5:01pm Adrian in London: @common it may still be somewhere in my parents' house.
	♥ 5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...stop apologizing for apologizing!...
	5:05pm Swan_Gone: What a scumbag!
	♥ 5:05pm Stevel: Yay! Men being assholes! [sigh]
	5:05pm Cliff: Is it 2016 or 1956? I can't remember
	♥ 5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I suppose the male DJs have to be models too - oh brother...I'm sure he's a stunner himself, right??...
	♥ 5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what if she's a plain DJ - but she has physically perfect male go-go dancers??...
	5:08pm U-Ron: Yeah these sexist and racists are everywhere. What to do? Expose and ostracize them whenever and where ever possible. Attack them at every turn.
	5:09pm Carmichael: "I say we tie him to the car and drag him ..."
	5:13pm statoj: Sheilab, got here just in time to hear your excellent comments on sexism in the world. My take is as follows: there is a Finite amount of psychic space for the Human Attitude. By putting the Sheilab Attitude out there, you have reduced the available space for Asshole-ism to survive. Well done and bless you. And nice Song of the Week too!
	5:18pm SeanG: oh man this is a good one
	5:19pm djsheilab: @Statoj! AMEN!! Thank you for awesome words!
	♥ 5:19pm listener james from westwood: Indeed! This and "Point of No Return" were solid back in the day and still are.
	♥ 5:19pm common: @adrian: if you find it, enjoy...and then send it to me!
	5:21pm P-90: Haven't heard this Expose in years. Not bad at all, it's aged pretty well.
	5:21pm statoj: I want an outfit like the Exposee lady on the right!
	5:27pm statoj: That "oo LA LA" is beatle-esque
	5:30pm Carmichael: It reminded me of Cockney Rebel's "Make Me Smile". Produced by Alan Parsons, who engineered on the Beatles last 2 albums. Weird ...
	5:32pm statoj: Carmichael, I did not know that! Music has DNA.
	5:33pm djsheilab: @Carmichael. Alan Parsons is my hero. I've never heard of Cockney Rebel.
	5:34pm statoj: M83 album cover shows 50s, 60s and 80s. No 70s? Guess they did not like disco.
	5:35pm Adrian in London: Ooh, Sheila, you must hear Come Up and See Me (Make Me Smile) and Sebastian.
	5:39pm chrissy: Fair if fair!
	5:39pm modchick65: INVINCIBLE!!!
	5:39pm Adrian in London: Cool! We're seeing Villagers next Friday so we won't miss you live.
	5:41pm P-90: The cognoscenti have known for years that "The Legend of Billie Jean", while not exactly brilliant, is underrated and def worth a view. (whoever the hell those "cognoscenti" are...)
	5:43pm P-90: This Benatar track is reminding me how they liked to record drums in the 80s.
	5:43pm chrissy: obv meant to say fair IS fair. duh.
	5:45pm Mr. Machine: This just became the best show ever!!! Invincible and Giant Peach back to back. I'm a happy man.
	5:45pm djsheilab: @chrissy YESSSSSSSS!!!! Totally forgot about that line!
	5:45pm djsheilab: @Adrian thanks for the tips!
	5:46pm djsheilab: Thanks @Mr. Machine! I was needing the heavy rawk today.
	5:47pm statoj: Feb 19th Lesley Gore I can't wait!!!
	5:48pm Dan: miss you next week already
	5:49pm P-90: I miss you next week already too. (sniff)
	5:50pm djsheilab: I love you guys!!!
	5:51pm Cliff: Thank you Sheila, and see you in two weeks!
	5:51pm geezerette: djsheilab-au-go-go!!!
	♥ 5:52pm Adrian in London: lies on floor, hangs onto Sheila's ankle, wails 'Don't gooooooo!!!!!!'
	♥ 5:54pm maestroso: Awesome show djsheilab! Drive time for me so I couldn't comment 'til now.
	5:54pm U-Ron: The Shangri-Las! Coolness itself. Always a pleasure.
	5:54pm KP: the Swans were great at Primavera
	5:54pm Carmichael: @Sheila: Steve Harley was Cockney Rebel's genius leader. If you heard the song, you'd recognize it (especially the "ooh-la-las"). debuted at #1, as did Parson's next effort, Pilot's "Magic".
	5:56pm Swan_Gone: Thanks fer gettin' me through another work day!
	♥ 5:56pm listener james from westwood: Always a blast! Thanks, Sheila!
	5:57pm Carmichael: And Harley returned the favor by singin on I Robot ("The Voice"). Oh, and Lesley Duncan sang on Parson's Eve. What a tangled web ...
	5:58pm The Contessa: Thanks!
	6:00pm P-90: Domo arigato, Sheila-san! Enjoy that week off!
