	♥ 3:06pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila!
	♥ 3:06pm JtotheK: hot damn! this jessie mae is brilliant!
	3:06pm P-90: Man this sounds SO circa 1971! (R.P.M.) The Disco sound just a few heartbeats away on the horizon...
	3:07pm geezerette: Hi-Lo Sheila and gang in Boom-Boom Room!
	3:08pm @sugarwolf@: girls aloud!!
	3:08pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yes! Made the Stream Transporter leap. Hello Ms B
	♥ 3:09pm Michael 98145: Heating up those Interweb tubes
	♥ 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Sheila and sophisticatories!
	♥ 3:11pm fred: @listener james from westmood: that could work as the show's blurb too
	3:12pm djsheilab: Hello listeners near n' far! It's a spectacular spring day here on the east coast + feeling mighty fiiiiiiiine!
	3:12pm frenchee: WA-WA-tusi, Hully-gully!
	3:14pm JakeGould: Whoa! Nice “Hall and Oates” cover right here.
	3:16pm The Contessa: I like this, too
	♥ 3:17pm listener james from westwood: Killer H&O cover!
	♥ 3:18pm JtotheK: this bird and bee H&O cover record is pretty great start to finish.
	3:21pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Agreed! Love this whole record.
	3:23pm djsheilab: This sounds like quite a fun record to make : )
	♥ 3:26pm JtotheK: another 45 to clicky-star...and probably never find! this is fantastic.
	♥ 3:27pm Guido from Cologne: Pussycats is great!
	♥ 3:27pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Sheila B., and sophisticated boom-boomers around the world.
	3:27pm P-90: H&O did do lot of very "coverable" songs. I was lucky to catch them live a couple of times in their heyday. Most of their records relied so much on studio contrivances that when they toured with their band and played those songs in live arrangements, it was like they were "covering" their own songs anyway!
	3:28pm rascal yammers: you are ruling my world...!
	3:30pm JakeGould: SPRING! TAX DAY!!!! FRIDAY!!!! YEAHGHHH!H!!!!
	3:31pm Cliff: It's not tax day until the 18th this year!
	3:31pm @sugarwolf@: I actually have tomorrow off! I can't decide whether to do any Record Store Day shopping...
	3:31pm @sugarwolf@: I mean I have to save my record budget for the Record Fair!!!
	3:32pm Adrian in London: Evening all.
	♥ 3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Titanic Remembrance Day
	3:33pm Cliff: What I love about Girls Aloud is that cover, rowr.
	3:35pm JakeGould: Here’s that book! www.amazon.com...
	♥ 3:35pm fred: @P-90: Somewhere in Finland, Fred von Helsing is kicking a juke box, just in case it was about to play H&O
	3:36pm @sugarwolf@: i think I might still have a copy of Plume somewhere??
	3:37pm P-90: Fred von H! Miss that guy, wish he would check in...
	3:37pm Geoff From Above: Always loved Inbetweener.
	3:38pm rascal yammers: the photo on your playlist page is incredible!
	3:39pm Leonardo: Tremendoid!
	3:40pm P-90: Rona's book is the kind where you go to a publisher with a fool-proof title, and they pounce. But the actual text is a bunch of ho-hum filler. Cosmopolitan mag style.
	3:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: "push away the otter"?
	♥ 3:44pm listener james from westwood: Maybe they relied on folks seeing it being read on subways, park benches, etc., and then running out to buy it. Do that 30,000 times and you've beaten the odds.
	♥ 3:44pm fred: @P-90: I heard he was active on facebook, so that counts as good news. I'm not on facebook though, so that's just hearsay. I sure miss him too
	3:45pm djsheilab: @P-90 Shame cos the title's a treasure!
	3:45pm JakeGould: Is Akiko Wada an enthusiastic gym teacher?
	♥ 3:45pm listener james from westwood: For a second I thought Wada was going to do the tighten-up a la YMO!
	3:47pm geezerette: La-La-La-LaOW!!!
	3:50pm Brendan: Inpinge and barge
	3:51pm Brendan: Hey she boom
	♥ 3:51pm Andrew Waterloo: cool.. more White Lung
	3:54pm P-90: @Sheila: That's the idea: the title is the whole point. Follow Jake's link to Amazon, you can see they printed the title in the biggest, poppingest black letters, filling the cover almost to the edges. Rona was one smart lady, she understood promotion bigtime.
	3:55pm Brendan: Binge and Purge followed by Hungry. Aint that the way it goes...
	3:56pm djsheilab: @Brendan I actually just noticed that. Ha!
	3:59pm Brendan: I just finished late lunch. Im ignoring the power of suggestion. So far, so ggggahhhhh!
	♥ 3:59pm listener james from westwood: This Cat's Eyes track is a lush, girl-groupy treat.
	4:00pm Adrian in London: Ah, this is great! Love the Duke of Burgundy soundtrack too.
	4:00pm JakeGould: I just got over the accursed flu so I can eat like a gajillion things. Everything. All of it.
	4:02pm Brendan: Just kidding ( did just lunch but no threat of Bushu-suru)
	4:02pm JakeGould: How profesh!
	4:07pm djsheilab: Why thank you @JakeGould :)
	♥ 4:09pm Planet Tyler: Sheila, how do we find you on Instagram?
	4:10pm Brendan: Mostly in themembrane
	4:12pm djsheilab: @Planet Tyler I'm at chachacharming_sheilab
	4:14pm Brendan: The chorus has a Joe Jackson hook from stepin out.
	4:14pm JakeGould: @PlanetTyler: So speaking of Instagram, just checked yours and there is a pic of one of those old school Sikorsky Coast Guard helicopters being donated to the Air and Space Museum? Do you work there? Because those specific model of Coast Guard helicopters flew past my window a gajillion times a day during the summer growing up in Brooklyn. Cool memory.
	♥ 4:14pm listener james from westwood: Need this energetic pop; I'm editing an economics textbook. Zzzzzz...
	♥ 4:15pm Planet Tyler: Thanks!
	4:15pm Leonardo: This show is a stone groove!
	4:15pm P-90: Cool segue.
	4:21pm MONEYBAG$: was that a tribe called quest sample...?
	4:21pm djsheilab: Thanks @Leonardo!
	4:22pm MONEYBAG$: yes it was, I'm a nerd
	♥ 4:24pm JtotheK: the ATCQ sample always comes to mind when i hear that song.
	4:24pm @sugarwolf@: The Waitresses!! Love this one....
	♥ 4:25pm listener james from westwood: Waitresses!
	4:25pm JakeGould: Nice “Waitresses” right here.
	♥ 4:26pm melinda: Fun to hear the Waitresses.
	4:26pm P-90: I miss the Waitresses...
	♥ 4:27pm Aharon: Ah this show is so good!
	4:31pm JakeGould: Damn! Her connection!
	4:32pm JakeGould: Her receiver is worn out? Holy crap! She should have used a handset caddy.
	4:32pm Brendan: Jaysus!
	4:32pm Danne D: Happy Friday Everyone :)
	4:33pm Cliff: I have a feeling this song is not really about electrical repair
	4:33pm JakeGould: @DanneD: Happy Tax Day!
	4:34pm P-90: Yo Danne D!
	4:34pm Danne D: Hiya Jake :) Tax Day is a moveable feast this year - it's on Monday (except in Massachusetts and I think Rhode Island where it's Tuesday) Hey P-90 :)
	4:35pm Danne D: Hi Sheila and everyone :)
	4:38pm Jesse K: Just got here, so glad I didn't miss the enka section!
	4:38pm JakeGould: @DanneD: Feh. I already did mine so I have suffered enough already.
	4:38pm Cliff: Enka is full of "mono no aware"
	4:40pm Honeybear: How could one -not- sing karaoke to this?
	4:41pm Evan From Seattle: We have the best karaoke night here in Seattle. It's not like that, which would be awesome, but it has all sorts of stuff you would never think of. Never in a million years did I think I'd be able to sing Archers of Loaf, Pavement, and a ton of Tom Waits at karaoke, but there it was.
	4:41pm gtrdirect: I'm an Enka virgin. This is FANTASTIC!!!
	4:42pm Cliff: I love watching all of the enka singers on the NHK New Year's Special every year
	♥ 4:43pm fred: Kiyoko Suizenji should have had more stars for me to click
	4:44pm djsheilab: @Fred Isn't she fantastic! So heavy! She could conquer the world with those pipes.
	♥ 4:44pm listener james from westwood: @Evan: Took me 46 years but I finally sang karaoke for the first time with a bunch of tipsy copy editors at a conference a week & change ago. "Love Will Tear Us Apart." (I have like a quarter-octave range.)
	4:44pm Honeybear: I'd be curious as to where one does Japanese karaoke in this city, actually (with or without the 60+ crowd getting tanked on sake)
	♥ 4:46pm chris: thirsty for sake now for sure. a nice cold daiginjo...
	4:46pm Evan From Seattle: @listener James that was the second one i ever did. The first one was the passenger haha. i didn't expect to have as much fun doing it as i did. i was hooked after that. There are a few places here where you can get the karaoke rooms, but i've never done those.
	4:47pm Swan_Gone: Loving this respite from pre-RSD inzanity. Thanks Sheila!
	♥ 4:48pm listener james from westwood: This was a multi-event space in Portland that had two plush karaoke side rooms. Wandered in on a haze of margaritas and was gobsmacked at the wide choice of songs.
	4:48pm Leonardo: Great enka going on here!
	4:49pm Evan From Seattle: James was it Baby Ketten Karaoke? That's the best night we have here in Seattle and I know they are in Portland as well
	♥ 4:54pm fred: Why am I not at home more often for this show? Yeah, because it's Friday and I'm usually at a live show. Though choices, getting tougher
	4:55pm zmzz: Hey Sheila, I am a bit new listener of yours, playing back you shows from your first show time to time.
	4:55pm P-90: Really hoping Enka Time will be a regular SBB feature! If you like, I could put you in touch with my Enka professor at Columbia. He has one of the largest stateside collections of Enka 45's and knows a lot of Enka history and lore.
	4:56pm Cliff: Enka Time is a fantastic idea P-90 :D
	4:56pm zmzz: Speaking of ENKA, my mother sent me CDs of Aki Yashiro recently. Great though.
	4:56pm P-90: And Chantal Kelly's outfit is to DIE for!
	♥ 4:57pm Guido from Cologne: Chantal Kelly almost looks Japanese on this single sleeve
	♥ 5:00pm fred: @Guido: not really, but being french maybe I have an advantage in saying she looks very french
	♥ 5:01pm fred: Blake Babies!!! Thank you so much for that
	♥ 5:02pm Guido from Cologne: OK, I'm learning: she looks french
	♥ 5:05pm fred: Have you heard about the earwig demos being released on Pledge Music? (this probably is only relevant to me)
	5:05pm djsheilab: @zmzz Starting from the beginning! WOAH. I'm happy you're listening :)
	♥ 5:05pm listener james from westwood: @Evan: It was Punch Bowl Social in Downtown. Bowling, bar, shuffleboard, lots of open space, karaoke, and, for our night there, tacos!
	5:06pm djsheilab: @fred I heard! Very excited about this too. I ADORE the Blake Babies. Sunburn is one of my all-time favorite albums (I used favorite a lot though ;)
	5:11pm Evan From Seattle: @james sounds pretty cool I will have to check it out the next time I am down there for non-soccer watching reasons haha
	♥ 5:13pm listener james from westwood: Soccer and the Trail Blazers were it by way of major league sports, it seemed. Haven't been in a major city so devoid of majors since my last Vegas trip.
	5:14pm Paul D: Love the show SHEILA B!
	♥ 5:15pm fred: The first time I saw Schwervon! I talked to the guitar player and said they reminded me of the Blake Babies. His reply was "go talk to her". The next time the drummer recognized me in the street outside the show. So far I've only met women who like that band, which is weird. Then again, not many people have heard of them over here, so small sample size...
	♥ 5:15pm Summer and Michael: Great show, Sheila! And we loved that Dreamscape track...
	5:16pm Evan From Seattle: The soccer rivalry between Seattle and Portland has really impacted my ability to enjoy Portland without that bias haha. Enemy territory! But great for making large sales tax-free purchases
	5:19pm Cliff: Sheila you just broke my brain.....one of those enka singers was in Morning Musume?!
	5:19pm Fred R: Always a great way to end the week Sheila, thanks!
	5:20pm Cliff: Apparently one of the members of AKB48 went enka too. Whaddyaknow
	♥ 5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whut is this hippie noize ? :D
	♥ 5:21pm Guido from Cologne: dig ´Wendy & Bonnie
	♥ 5:22pm listener james from westwood: @Evan: True that on the tax. New iPhone while there FTMFW!
	♥ 5:22pm JtotheK: @sheilaB -- do you have the Honey and the Bees 'Dynamite Exploded' 45 on Arctic?
	♥ 5:23pm Guido from Cologne: ha: Wendy & Bonnie Flower Flower Power indeed!
	5:24pm djsheilab: @JtotheK I don't have that one. is it great?
	5:24pm djsheilab: @Cliff Yes indeed! Figured Tsunku needed to control the entire Japanese music market.
	♥ 5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: These sets !
	♥ 5:25pm fred: @djsheilab: I worship Juliana Hatfield. And I'm comfortable saying that because I WORSHIP Cynthia Loemij. And I'm assuming the uppercase
	5:26pm Evan From Seattle: Love this Coco Morier track
	5:26pm The Contessa: Signing off early tonight. Thanks Sheila, happy weekend Ken FHP and everyone
	5:28pm Cliff: looks up at the ceiling like Capt. Kirk TSUNKU!!!!! fist shake
	5:28pm djsheilab: Thanks for being here @The Contessa! Sleep well.
	♥ 5:29pm JtotheK: @sheilaB -- yes, Dynamite Exploded is great! i don't have it, however prices have come down (to the 300-400 range) in recent years, for a while it was in the 800-1000 range... still far beyond my 45 budget, not to mention i doubt originals turn up often.
	♥ 5:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Contessa - Have a nice weekend! I remember this Toto song.
	5:35pm Cliff: Sheila: Toto!
	5:35pm greg: love georgie porgie
	5:35pm nicola: i love toto!!!
	5:35pm Brendan: Kansas, i have a funny feeling we're not in Toto anymore.
	5:35pm davefromtoronto: i liked it... i even turned it up LOUD!
	♥ 5:35pm Stanley: Me too!
	5:36pm greg: i also turned it up
	5:36pm P-90: I abstain from the Toto issue.
	5:36pm @sugarwolf@: Aw Sunburn, I remember buying at that at the Sam Goody in The Garden State Plaza
	5:36pm The7thOne: We can't Stop Loving You Sheila B.
	5:37pm @sugarwolf@: the new Record Fair venue is sooooo nice
	♥ 5:37pm fred: Hey Ken said he remembered Toto, before you asked for endorsements
	♥ 5:37pm listener james from westwood: I was quite addicted to Toto's "Dune" soundtrack back in the day. Heavy play at college.
	♥ 5:39pm Guido from Cologne: Uuuuuh, THIS one had a heavy rotation at our local northern soul allnighters. Beautiful record and bringing back memories. Love the choir
	5:41pm Evan From Seattle: That Tommy Neal is going right on my discogs want list
	5:42pm Carmichael: Damn, I'm just now getting into the Boom Boom room. Heya Shiela and boomers.
	♥ 5:42pm JtotheK: @evan - same here, right on the (non-discogs) wantlist...
	5:43pm djsheilab: @Ken from Hyde Park wins!
	♥ 5:43pm fred: BTW Cynthia Loemij is a dancer, so she's not going to turn up in your searches. Again, something that only interests me
	♥ 5:43pm Guido from Cologne: well just £236.00 for Tommy Neal ... we get that from the petty cash ...
	♥ 5:44pm Guido from Cologne: ... that's why it is Dancing With Petty Booka now ...
	5:50pm @sugarwolf@: All Saints!!
	♥ 5:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: In high school band, we were practicing some song called "Hold the Line" and the dude next to me crossed out the composer's name and wrote Toto on the sheet music.
	♥ 5:52pm JtotheK: fabulous show today sheilaB -- thanks very much!
	5:54pm djsheilab: Had a blasssssssst today! Thanks everyone. Off into the sunshine!
	♥ 5:54pm fred: @Ken: where was your school? I can't picture where writing "Toto" would be an act of defiance
	5:54pm Cliff: Great show today Sheila! And I hope you'll play more enka in the future :D
	5:54pm @sugarwolf@: wow, this song is almost 20 years old?
	5:56pm Danne D: Great show Sheila :)
	♥ 5:56pm Adrian in London: With the news that I once saw one of All Saints in a supermarket with Liam Gallagher from Oasis I'll wish you all goodnight…
	♥ 5:57pm listener james from westwood: Always a blast, Sheila—thanks!!
	5:58pm Evan From Seattle: Take care everyone! Have a great weekend!
	5:58pm P-90: Another splendid Friday afternoon, Thanks Sheila B!
	♥ 5:59pm fred: Adrian answered my question

	3:03pm The Contessa: Good evening, Sheila, great start!
	3:03pm P-90: What if I look like sexual ecstasy but want to achieve richness?
	3:04pm @sugarwolf@: oh, this compilation is one of my all time favorites
	3:04pm Stephanie: Hi Sheila!
	♥ 3:04pm Michael 98145: Always look forward to the Boom Boom
	♥ 3:04pm listener james from westwood: How do, Sheila and all boom-boomers!
	3:04pm P-90: Hi Ho Sheilarino!
	3:05pm Evan From Seattle: good afternoon Sheila and boom boomers!
	♥ 3:05pm listener james from westwood: I feel like there should be a dramatic chase down a ski slope with this tune in the background!
	♥ 3:05pm JtotheK: hi sheila, hi fellow boomboomers!
	♥ 3:06pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila!
	♥ 3:06pm JtotheK: hot damn! this jessie mae is brilliant!
	3:06pm P-90: Man this sounds SO circa 1971! (R.P.M.) The Disco sound just a few heartbeats away on the horizon...
	3:07pm geezerette: Hi-Lo Sheila and gang in Boom-Boom Room!
	3:08pm @sugarwolf@: girls aloud!!
	3:08pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yes! Made the Stream Transporter leap. Hello Ms B
	♥ 3:09pm Michael 98145: Heating up those Interweb tubes
	♥ 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Sheila and sophisticatories!
	♥ 3:11pm fred: @listener james from westmood: that could work as the show's blurb too
	3:12pm djsheilab: Hello listeners near n' far! It's a spectacular spring day here on the east coast + feeling mighty fiiiiiiiine!
	3:12pm frenchee: WA-WA-tusi, Hully-gully!
	3:14pm JakeGould: Whoa! Nice “Hall and Oates” cover right here.
	3:16pm The Contessa: I like this, too
	♥ 3:17pm listener james from westwood: Killer H&O cover!
	♥ 3:18pm JtotheK: this bird and bee H&O cover record is pretty great start to finish.
	3:21pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Agreed! Love this whole record.
	3:23pm djsheilab: This sounds like quite a fun record to make : )
	♥ 3:26pm JtotheK: another 45 to clicky-star...and probably never find! this is fantastic.
	♥ 3:27pm Guido from Cologne: Pussycats is great!
	♥ 3:27pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Sheila B., and sophisticated boom-boomers around the world.
	3:27pm P-90: H&O did do lot of very "coverable" songs. I was lucky to catch them live a couple of times in their heyday. Most of their records relied so much on studio contrivances that when they toured with their band and played those songs in live arrangements, it was like they were "covering" their own songs anyway!
	3:28pm rascal yammers: you are ruling my world...!
	3:30pm JakeGould: SPRING! TAX DAY!!!! FRIDAY!!!! YEAHGHHH!H!!!!
	3:31pm Cliff: It's not tax day until the 18th this year!
	3:31pm @sugarwolf@: I actually have tomorrow off! I can't decide whether to do any Record Store Day shopping...
	3:31pm @sugarwolf@: I mean I have to save my record budget for the Record Fair!!!
	3:32pm Adrian in London: Evening all.
	♥ 3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Titanic Remembrance Day
	3:33pm Cliff: What I love about Girls Aloud is that cover, rowr.
	3:35pm JakeGould: Here’s that book! www.amazon.com...
	♥ 3:35pm fred: @P-90: Somewhere in Finland, Fred von Helsing is kicking a juke box, just in case it was about to play H&O
	3:36pm @sugarwolf@: i think I might still have a copy of Plume somewhere??
	3:37pm P-90: Fred von H! Miss that guy, wish he would check in...
	3:37pm Geoff From Above: Always loved Inbetweener.
	3:38pm rascal yammers: the photo on your playlist page is incredible!
	3:39pm Leonardo: Tremendoid!
	3:40pm P-90: Rona's book is the kind where you go to a publisher with a fool-proof title, and they pounce. But the actual text is a bunch of ho-hum filler. Cosmopolitan mag style.
	3:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: "push away the otter"?
	♥ 3:44pm listener james from westwood: Maybe they relied on folks seeing it being read on subways, park benches, etc., and then running out to buy it. Do that 30,000 times and you've beaten the odds.
	♥ 3:44pm fred: @P-90: I heard he was active on facebook, so that counts as good news. I'm not on facebook though, so that's just hearsay. I sure miss him too
	3:45pm djsheilab: @P-90 Shame cos the title's a treasure!
	3:45pm JakeGould: Is Akiko Wada an enthusiastic gym teacher?
	♥ 3:45pm listener james from westwood: For a second I thought Wada was going to do the tighten-up a la YMO!
	3:47pm geezerette: La-La-La-LaOW!!!
	3:50pm Brendan: Inpinge and barge
	3:51pm Brendan: Hey she boom
	♥ 3:51pm Andrew Waterloo: cool.. more White Lung
	3:54pm P-90: @Sheila: That's the idea: the title is the whole point. Follow Jake's link to Amazon, you can see they printed the title in the biggest, poppingest black letters, filling the cover almost to the edges. Rona was one smart lady, she understood promotion bigtime.
	3:55pm Brendan: Binge and Purge followed by Hungry. Aint that the way it goes...
	3:56pm djsheilab: @Brendan I actually just noticed that. Ha!
	3:59pm Brendan: I just finished late lunch. Im ignoring the power of suggestion. So far, so ggggahhhhh!
	♥ 3:59pm listener james from westwood: This Cat's Eyes track is a lush, girl-groupy treat.
	4:00pm Adrian in London: Ah, this is great! Love the Duke of Burgundy soundtrack too.
	4:00pm JakeGould: I just got over the accursed flu so I can eat like a gajillion things. Everything. All of it.
	4:02pm Brendan: Just kidding ( did just lunch but no threat of Bushu-suru)
	4:02pm JakeGould: How profesh!
	4:07pm djsheilab: Why thank you @JakeGould :)
	♥ 4:09pm Planet Tyler: Sheila, how do we find you on Instagram?
	4:10pm Brendan: Mostly in themembrane
	4:12pm djsheilab: @Planet Tyler I'm at chachacharming_sheilab
	4:14pm Brendan: The chorus has a Joe Jackson hook from stepin out.
	4:14pm JakeGould: @PlanetTyler: So speaking of Instagram, just checked yours and there is a pic of one of those old school Sikorsky Coast Guard helicopters being donated to the Air and Space Museum? Do you work there? Because those specific model of Coast Guard helicopters flew past my window a gajillion times a day during the summer growing up in Brooklyn. Cool memory.
	♥ 4:14pm listener james from westwood: Need this energetic pop; I'm editing an economics textbook. Zzzzzz...
	♥ 4:15pm Planet Tyler: Thanks!
	4:15pm Leonardo: This show is a stone groove!
	4:15pm P-90: Cool segue.
	4:21pm MONEYBAG$: was that a tribe called quest sample...?
	4:21pm djsheilab: Thanks @Leonardo!
	4:22pm MONEYBAG$: yes it was, I'm a nerd
	♥ 4:24pm JtotheK: the ATCQ sample always comes to mind when i hear that song.
	4:24pm @sugarwolf@: The Waitresses!! Love this one....
	♥ 4:25pm listener james from westwood: Waitresses!
	4:25pm JakeGould: Nice “Waitresses” right here.
	♥ 4:26pm melinda: Fun to hear the Waitresses.
	4:26pm P-90: I miss the Waitresses...
	♥ 4:27pm Aharon: Ah this show is so good!
	4:31pm JakeGould: Damn! Her connection!
	4:32pm JakeGould: Her receiver is worn out? Holy crap! She should have used a handset caddy.
	4:32pm Brendan: Jaysus!
	4:32pm Danne D: Happy Friday Everyone :)
	4:33pm Cliff: I have a feeling this song is not really about electrical repair
	4:33pm JakeGould: @DanneD: Happy Tax Day!
	4:34pm P-90: Yo Danne D!
	4:34pm Danne D: Hiya Jake :) Tax Day is a moveable feast this year - it's on Monday (except in Massachusetts and I think Rhode Island where it's Tuesday) Hey P-90 :)
	4:35pm Danne D: Hi Sheila and everyone :)
	4:38pm Jesse K: Just got here, so glad I didn't miss the enka section!
	4:38pm JakeGould: @DanneD: Feh. I already did mine so I have suffered enough already.
	4:38pm Cliff: Enka is full of "mono no aware"
	4:40pm Honeybear: How could one -not- sing karaoke to this?
	4:41pm Evan From Seattle: We have the best karaoke night here in Seattle. It's not like that, which would be awesome, but it has all sorts of stuff you would never think of. Never in a million years did I think I'd be able to sing Archers of Loaf, Pavement, and a ton of Tom Waits at karaoke, but there it was.
	4:41pm gtrdirect: I'm an Enka virgin. This is FANTASTIC!!!
	4:42pm Cliff: I love watching all of the enka singers on the NHK New Year's Special every year
	♥ 4:43pm fred: Kiyoko Suizenji should have had more stars for me to click
	4:44pm djsheilab: @Fred Isn't she fantastic! So heavy! She could conquer the world with those pipes.
	♥ 4:44pm listener james from westwood: @Evan: Took me 46 years but I finally sang karaoke for the first time with a bunch of tipsy copy editors at a conference a week & change ago. "Love Will Tear Us Apart." (I have like a quarter-octave range.)
	4:44pm Honeybear: I'd be curious as to where one does Japanese karaoke in this city, actually (with or without the 60+ crowd getting tanked on sake)
	♥ 4:46pm chris: thirsty for sake now for sure. a nice cold daiginjo...
	4:46pm Evan From Seattle: @listener James that was the second one i ever did. The first one was the passenger haha. i didn't expect to have as much fun doing it as i did. i was hooked after that. There are a few places here where you can get the karaoke rooms, but i've never done those.
	4:47pm Swan_Gone: Loving this respite from pre-RSD inzanity. Thanks Sheila!
	♥ 4:48pm listener james from westwood: This was a multi-event space in Portland that had two plush karaoke side rooms. Wandered in on a haze of margaritas and was gobsmacked at the wide choice of songs.
	4:48pm Leonardo: Great enka going on here!
	4:49pm Evan From Seattle: James was it Baby Ketten Karaoke? That's the best night we have here in Seattle and I know they are in Portland as well
	♥ 4:54pm fred: Why am I not at home more often for this show? Yeah, because it's Friday and I'm usually at a live show. Though choices, getting tougher
	4:55pm zmzz: Hey Sheila, I am a bit new listener of yours, playing back you shows from your first show time to time.
	4:55pm P-90: Really hoping Enka Time will be a regular SBB feature! If you like, I could put you in touch with my Enka professor at Columbia. He has one of the largest stateside collections of Enka 45's and knows a lot of Enka history and lore.
	4:56pm Cliff: Enka Time is a fantastic idea P-90 :D
	4:56pm zmzz: Speaking of ENKA, my mother sent me CDs of Aki Yashiro recently. Great though.
	4:56pm P-90: And Chantal Kelly's outfit is to DIE for!
	♥ 4:57pm Guido from Cologne: Chantal Kelly almost looks Japanese on this single sleeve
	♥ 5:00pm fred: @Guido: not really, but being french maybe I have an advantage in saying she looks very french
	♥ 5:01pm fred: Blake Babies!!! Thank you so much for that
	♥ 5:02pm Guido from Cologne: OK, I'm learning: she looks french
	♥ 5:05pm fred: Have you heard about the earwig demos being released on Pledge Music? (this probably is only relevant to me)
	5:05pm djsheilab: @zmzz Starting from the beginning! WOAH. I'm happy you're listening :)
	♥ 5:05pm listener james from westwood: @Evan: It was Punch Bowl Social in Downtown. Bowling, bar, shuffleboard, lots of open space, karaoke, and, for our night there, tacos!
	5:06pm djsheilab: @fred I heard! Very excited about this too. I ADORE the Blake Babies. Sunburn is one of my all-time favorite albums (I used favorite a lot though ;)
	5:11pm Evan From Seattle: @james sounds pretty cool I will have to check it out the next time I am down there for non-soccer watching reasons haha
	♥ 5:13pm listener james from westwood: Soccer and the Trail Blazers were it by way of major league sports, it seemed. Haven't been in a major city so devoid of majors since my last Vegas trip.
	5:14pm Paul D: Love the show SHEILA B!
	♥ 5:15pm fred: The first time I saw Schwervon! I talked to the guitar player and said they reminded me of the Blake Babies. His reply was "go talk to her". The next time the drummer recognized me in the street outside the show. So far I've only met women who like that band, which is weird. Then again, not many people have heard of them over here, so small sample size...
	♥ 5:15pm Summer and Michael: Great show, Sheila! And we loved that Dreamscape track...
	5:16pm Evan From Seattle: The soccer rivalry between Seattle and Portland has really impacted my ability to enjoy Portland without that bias haha. Enemy territory! But great for making large sales tax-free purchases
	5:19pm Cliff: Sheila you just broke my brain.....one of those enka singers was in Morning Musume?!
	5:19pm Fred R: Always a great way to end the week Sheila, thanks!
	5:20pm Cliff: Apparently one of the members of AKB48 went enka too. Whaddyaknow
	♥ 5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whut is this hippie noize ? :D
	♥ 5:21pm Guido from Cologne: dig ´Wendy & Bonnie
	♥ 5:22pm listener james from westwood: @Evan: True that on the tax. New iPhone while there FTMFW!
	♥ 5:22pm JtotheK: @sheilaB -- do you have the Honey and the Bees 'Dynamite Exploded' 45 on Arctic?
	♥ 5:23pm Guido from Cologne: ha: Wendy & Bonnie Flower Flower Power indeed!
	5:24pm djsheilab: @JtotheK I don't have that one. is it great?
	5:24pm djsheilab: @Cliff Yes indeed! Figured Tsunku needed to control the entire Japanese music market.
	♥ 5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: These sets !
	♥ 5:25pm fred: @djsheilab: I worship Juliana Hatfield. And I'm comfortable saying that because I WORSHIP Cynthia Loemij. And I'm assuming the uppercase
	5:26pm Evan From Seattle: Love this Coco Morier track
	5:26pm The Contessa: Signing off early tonight. Thanks Sheila, happy weekend Ken FHP and everyone
	5:28pm Cliff: looks up at the ceiling like Capt. Kirk TSUNKU!!!!! fist shake
	5:28pm djsheilab: Thanks for being here @The Contessa! Sleep well.
	♥ 5:29pm JtotheK: @sheilaB -- yes, Dynamite Exploded is great! i don't have it, however prices have come down (to the 300-400 range) in recent years, for a while it was in the 800-1000 range... still far beyond my 45 budget, not to mention i doubt originals turn up often.
	♥ 5:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: @The Contessa - Have a nice weekend! I remember this Toto song.
	5:35pm Cliff: Sheila: Toto!
	5:35pm greg: love georgie porgie
	5:35pm nicola: i love toto!!!
	5:35pm Brendan: Kansas, i have a funny feeling we're not in Toto anymore.
	5:35pm davefromtoronto: i liked it... i even turned it up LOUD!
	♥ 5:35pm Stanley: Me too!
	5:36pm greg: i also turned it up
	5:36pm P-90: I abstain from the Toto issue.
	5:36pm @sugarwolf@: Aw Sunburn, I remember buying at that at the Sam Goody in The Garden State Plaza
	5:36pm The7thOne: We can't Stop Loving You Sheila B.
	5:37pm @sugarwolf@: the new Record Fair venue is sooooo nice
	♥ 5:37pm fred: Hey Ken said he remembered Toto, before you asked for endorsements
	♥ 5:37pm listener james from westwood: I was quite addicted to Toto's "Dune" soundtrack back in the day. Heavy play at college.
	♥ 5:39pm Guido from Cologne: Uuuuuh, THIS one had a heavy rotation at our local northern soul allnighters. Beautiful record and bringing back memories. Love the choir
	5:41pm Evan From Seattle: That Tommy Neal is going right on my discogs want list
	5:42pm Carmichael: Damn, I'm just now getting into the Boom Boom room. Heya Shiela and boomers.
	♥ 5:42pm JtotheK: @evan - same here, right on the (non-discogs) wantlist...
	5:43pm djsheilab: @Ken from Hyde Park wins!
	♥ 5:43pm fred: BTW Cynthia Loemij is a dancer, so she's not going to turn up in your searches. Again, something that only interests me
	♥ 5:43pm Guido from Cologne: well just £236.00 for Tommy Neal ... we get that from the petty cash ...
	♥ 5:44pm Guido from Cologne: ... that's why it is Dancing With Petty Booka now ...
	5:50pm @sugarwolf@: All Saints!!
	♥ 5:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: In high school band, we were practicing some song called "Hold the Line" and the dude next to me crossed out the composer's name and wrote Toto on the sheet music.
	♥ 5:52pm JtotheK: fabulous show today sheilaB -- thanks very much!
	5:54pm djsheilab: Had a blasssssssst today! Thanks everyone. Off into the sunshine!
	♥ 5:54pm fred: @Ken: where was your school? I can't picture where writing "Toto" would be an act of defiance
	5:54pm Cliff: Great show today Sheila! And I hope you'll play more enka in the future :D
	5:54pm @sugarwolf@: wow, this song is almost 20 years old?
	5:56pm Danne D: Great show Sheila :)
	♥ 5:56pm Adrian in London: With the news that I once saw one of All Saints in a supermarket with Liam Gallagher from Oasis I'll wish you all goodnight…
	♥ 5:57pm listener james from westwood: Always a blast, Sheila—thanks!!
	5:58pm Evan From Seattle: Take care everyone! Have a great weekend!
	5:58pm P-90: Another splendid Friday afternoon, Thanks Sheila B!
	♥ 5:59pm fred: Adrian answered my question
