WFMU: LoriHajiTura with DJ GeorgyGirl: Playlist from February 24, 2020

Listener comments!
	3:54pm edelkakao cha cha: Hello! Well ahead of schedule here; in fact listening to your 80s show broadcast last monday. As always, there are a couple of ones I had not heard before. Thumbs up especially for The Chauffeur; proves my point Duran Duran were nicking so much stuff from Japan. For me this is their finest hour, in spite or because of the copycat excess, I mean this could easily be a track from Quiet Life or Gentlemen Take Polaroids. Nowhere else does Simon Le Bon sound so much like David Sylvian. OK, apologies for throwing these comments here, how off topic can one get before your show has even started?
	4:18pm Martinibomb: ^ Japan rules!!!
	4:19pm Martinibomb: Here early listening to the stream and waiting for LoriHajiTura
	4:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Just setting up now - will be with you in about 25 minutes :-) Help yourself to snacks and coffee in the meantime ;-)
	4:56pm Martinibomb: 4 more minutes...
	4:57pm Martinibomb: 3...
	4:59pm Martinibomb: 2...
	4:59pm Martinibomb: 1...
	5:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here we go! :-)
	5:01pm Martinibomb: Just finished my DJ Premium! So much work.. now I just have to burn a CDR and mail it.
	5:02pm Mr Fab: Faster Georgy, kill! Kill!
	5:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Edelkakao, Martinibomb, and our very own Mr Fab! :-)
	5:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Today's LHT is super smooooooooooooooth ;-)
	5:04pm Mr Fab: That Yma Sumac song just before this show started has always put me in a surfy mood - prominent guitars, rockin beat. Not all beach parties are necessarily of the Frankie and Annette variety.
	5:04pm Martinibomb: this stu phillips track is sooooo good. such a great version
	5:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Setting the tone with some mellowness :-)
	5:06pm Mr Fab: “If It’s Too Quiet, You’re Too Young!”
	5:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Anyone wanting to know what pledge prizes you can grab on LoriHajiTura in the next two weeks - get a pen and paper handy! I'll be running down the full list of 12 throughout today's show. :-)
	5:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One the 2nd and the 9th March, I'll be offering three pledge prizes per hour - to nab your choice (or choices!) you just need to be the first one to pledge each time :-)
	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And I've got books, CDs AND vinyl up for grabs! :-)
	5:10pm notsoKWYET: Hello GG ---
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey Dan! :-) Just in time for some mellow grooviness :-)
	5:12pm notsoKWYET: I should be practicing Beethoven's 5th before practice but I'm here... please don't tell my conductor ;)
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Your secret's safe with me ;-)
	5:15pm notsoKWYET: I'm looking at the discogs page for the Hollyridge Strings... this is wild
	5:15pm edelkakao cha cha: Yep, hi, back home just in time. (I was at my partner's place when listening to your 80s show, and yes it was a good mix, thanks for that.)
	5:16pm notsoKWYET: Full albums dedicated to the beatles, beach boys and the four seasons
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mind meld! ;-)
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I thought you would :-)
	5:17pm melinda: Hi all
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello melinda! :-)
	5:19pm Mr Fab: I have an album of Monkees-for-strings. Not the Hollyridge gang, think its by the Manhattan Strings or somesuch? That’s a good ‘un.
	5:19pm edelkakao cha cha: GG 5.16 My partner did also, even if they were tired from work. One must like a song if 99,9% asleep and yet tapping one's foot firmly in time with the music(the song was Video Killed The Radio Star, and that was quite cute to watch)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I've got an easy Monkees one somewhere too ... off the top of my head I can't remember who by tho. I need to sort my collection very very soon. It's getting a little out of order. :-)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - that song is irresistible ;-)
	5:21pm notsoKWYET: always grateful you turned me on to this version of Green Tambourine a while back...
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - I know how much you love it :-) <3
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Now who's this! ;-)
	5:23pm notsoKWYET: my voiceeeeee
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:24pm notsoKWYET: we need to do more of these ;)
	5:24pm notsoKWYET: Who knew Summer In The City would sound so good on a trombone
	5:25pm Mr Fab: Buddy Morrow did so much great stuff, he should be far more well known in the retro music world.
	5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just imagine all the adults in their lounges and reclining chairs tapping their toes to this ;-)
	5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - completely agree!
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This cover of Wear Your Love has extra beybeh power ;-)
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes. I am obsessed with that show :-)
	5:29pm Mr Fab: Dang, I am a clicky-starring mofo today.
	5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - bwah ha ha ... ;-) You're my musical slave now! :-)
	5:30pm Martinibomb: same here
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My harem of musical slaves! MWAHAHAHA ;-)
	5:31pm Rich in Washington: argh what a day I'm having. Here now!
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Rich! Have some soothing music :-)
	5:32pm Rich in Washington: Hi DJ GeorglyGirl!
	5:32pm Rich in Washington: Hi Mr. Fab! Hi Martinibomb! Hi notsoKWYET!
	5:32pm notsoKWYET: GG is there Canada Dry in the UK?
	5:32pm notsoKWYET: Hi Rich
	5:32pm Rich in Washington: Hi edelkakao cha cha!
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - yep! :-) I have another REALLY cool ad coming up for them later :-)
	5:33pm notsoKWYET: This is the 2nd best cover I have ever heard of this --- Quebecois goddess Jenny Rock takes the cake though
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes!!! Very much so :-)
	5:34pm Mr Fab: Deep Purple goes EZ?! Holy Spicolli, now I’ve heard everything.
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - my secret stash ;-)
	5:36pm edelkakao cha cha: My fave ad was that about flash cubes, I mean I was using them as an 80s kid, goes to show me and my instamatic were brought to the wrong decade. (OK, OK, nowadays I am an 80s freak, but back then...)
	5:36pm Martinibomb: a very cool version of dizzy
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have very fond memories of flashcube cameras - I was always fascinated by them as a kid :-)
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And I love Dizzy. Such a great song :-)
	5:39pm Mr Fab: Yep, “Dizzy” is such a classic choon. Hugo Montenegro’s Moog-y version is great too.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love all the Montenegro moog records :-)
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Get down and groove, Peggy!
	5:42pm melinda: I liked flash cubes too.
	5:43pm edelkakao cha cha: I had no idea about this combination! Peggy Lee and Everyday People, OK, NOW I have indeed heard everything
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I swear flashcubes were way brighter than any other camera
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - Peggy's getting DOWN! ;-)
	5:44pm melinda: There’s an unexpected cover.
	5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here's that great Canada Dry advert!
	5:44pm Sem: Love some post-dinner Peggy Lee. Hello, djGG, and all along for this whole shebang.
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Sem! :-)
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ann-Margret is in my Top Ten girl crushes. :-)
	5:46pm Sem: There was a time, she was the bomb, no doubt.
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I still would ;-)
	5:47pm Rich in Washington: Swing it, Mel!
	5:49pm notsoKWYET: I think Elvis would have agreed about Ann-Margret as well
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God they were a gorgeous couple, weren't they?
	5:52pm notsoKWYET: Yes... but the couple I want to know most about --- particularly if they were ever together - is Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood
	5:53pm Mr Fab: In the climactic talent contest in “Viva Las Vegas,” Elvis won (cuz it’s an Elvis movie), but really, Ann-Margret’s number really did blow even The King himself off the stage.
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yeah, I've always wondered if it was personal as well as professional. God - "Some Velvet Morning". There's a song.
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - in comparison to Ann-Margret, Elvis looks like he has two left feet. :-)
	5:54pm notsoKWYET: I dunno --- all those songs were too sexy for it not to have been
	5:55pm Mr Fab: If anyone visits me in L.A., I’d be happy to take you on a spin down the actual Blue Jay Way.
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This cover of Blackbird makes me think of A Mighty Wind :-)
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I'll bring food for the journey! :-)
	5:56pm Rich in Washington: oh man. White people, amiright?
	5:56pm Sem: Frequently on the Ed Sullivan Show...
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - dig it! LOL!
	5:57pm Rich in Washington: I loved the Second City episode where Sandler and Young were in some kind of spy hijinx movie.
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a definitely a whiff of Stay-Prest slacks here :-)
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've been binge-watching all the Lola Heatherton SCTV skits. :-)
	5:59pm Sem: Catherine O'Hara is a genius.
	5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - if I ever met her I would be a fangirling, sobbing wreck :-)
	6:00pm notsoKWYET: A little bit off topic --- but i'm obsessed with Kids in the Hall's special "Chalet 2000"
	6:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - I mean, you KNOW how I feel about the Godlike genius of KITH :-)
	6:01pm Rob: Love Love Love Drags Me Down
	6:01pm Rich in Washington: I think that's one of those entire seasons which I have never seen. I need to rectify that ASAP.
	6:02pm Rich in Washington: I had this wonderful streaming comedy channel which had, in addition to KITH, a ton of britcoms, etc. It was fantastic and then some other streaming entity bought it and killed it off.
	6:02pm Sem: See you and all later in the week, GG. Ciao for now,
	6:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rob - yes!! And hello :-)
	6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - ugh. I hate that. You just get into something and they pull the plug on it.
	6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you for listening Sem! See you later on :-)
	6:03pm Rob: Hi there GG ... and Dan... and all...
	6:07pm notsoKWYET: hi!
	6:08pm Rob: Illya
	6:09pm Rich in Washington: This is how The MAN put down the sixties revolution without firing a shot. It used the relentless, inexorable process of the Culture Industry, Adorno be damned!
	6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ilya was one talented bunny, that's for sure :-)
	6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've always said that Easy Listening is the most subversive music on the planet. ;-)
	6:11pm Rob: Interesting factoid from wiki - David McCallum and Jill Ireland's son Val was in Jackson Browne's band
	6:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rob - I didn't know that! Does he still record?
	6:13pm ParUbi: Hi everyone!
	6:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there ParUbi! :-)
	6:14pm Rob: Val McCallum has worked with several artists and has one album of his own.
	6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rob - I shall have to investigate further! Thank you for that :-)
	6:16pm Mr Fab: I've always wondered, who was this music for?! You know no hippie would be caught dead listening to it. And can you imagine the older generation wanting their beautiful strings and vocals sullied with those damn commie freak songs?
	6:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I think it all fits in with the stereo testing boom. Songs that are contemporary enough but not too out there for Mom and Dad to set up the equipment and entertain their liberal neighbours at dinner parties ;-)
	6:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Also artists like Mel Torme, Peggy lee, and Sammy Davis etc who want to stay relevant.
	6:19pm notsoKWYET: oh my.... I went and picked up a package of 2 45s i bought today --- one was Uptight !!!
	6:19pm notsoKWYET: but nancy wilsons version
	6:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think also - using my parents as an example - althoughn they listened to The Beatles and The Stones and so on, they were also young marrieds, so the idea of being too "out there" was frowned upon. This way they could swing a little but not upset anyone.
	6:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you think of all the women's and home magazines in the late 60s with paisley and psychedelic prints. Be cool - but not too cool.
	6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: What's that film with Diane Lane where she's a young housewife on holiday in the Catskills? She ends up having an affair and going to Woodstock to kind of break out and have fun and it's a HUGE scandal.
	6:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Moon Man? Man on the Moon?
	6:25pm ParUbi: A Walk on the Moon
	6:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @ParUbi - thank you! :-)
	6:25pm ParUbi: I remember that one. It was enjoyable, a nice capture of that period
	6:26pm Otis Fodder: Good evening or afternoon all.
	6:26pm ParUbi: I'm fascinated by how different periods of film represent different periods of history. The 80s version of the 50s is different than today's/
	6:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @ParUbi - I liked it too :-) And it showed the internal struggle of being young in the 60s but also bound by social mores and conventions. It was really well done.
	6:26pm ParUbi: But we're talking about late 60s for that one lol
	6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Otis! You know that you've timed it really well again, don't you? ;-)
	6:27pm ParUbi: It had the "thing and the other thing"-- the personal interwoven with a larger story about culture of the period
	6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @ParUbi - exactly! I'm gonna have to rewatch that :-)
	6:29pm Otis Fodd: Work dictates my time and somehow must cosmically know when I should step in. Thank you galaxies.
	6:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Otis - gotta love them galaxies ;-)
	6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do love Helmut Zacharias - one of my musical passions :-)
	6:30pm Otis Fo: I wonder how many cover variations they made of this Zacharias album or how many actually sold at the time. I have 2 cover variations and have seen 3 in bins. Makes me happy to know it was a bit out there.
	6:31pm Otis: My mother had a 7" single of "The Tipsy Piano" by Zacharias. One of the records I grew up. Bend me shape me indeed.
	6:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I have yet to find a Zacharias track that I don't like :-)
	6:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: BINGO! ;-)
	6:31pm Otis: Thank you cosmic forces.
	6:32pm Otis: Reheating pasta for dinner this evening. Will be chowing down just in time for Greg's show.
	6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I had a homemade lentil masala earlier but I could go a bowl of pasta right about now :-)
	6:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've drunk gallons of water today as well and am STILL thirsty. I don't know what the hell is up with that. Maybe I swallowed a salt lick in my sleep?
	6:34pm Otis: Fresh pasta from a place locally (want to make my own someday, another thing on the never-ending priority list)... and a simple sauce with a baguette. Basic and good, with a whole clove of garlic.
	6:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Otis - there is really nothing like a simple pasta dish. Warm. Filling. Tasty. Yum :-)
	6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have a pasta machine in the back of the cupboard that I bought a million years ago. Every time I look at it I feel guilty because I still haven't used it.
	6:38pm Otis: I do weekly baskets here, local/organic/etc.. and fresh pasta I can order weekly so I get lazy. But it's one of the top things I want to learn, along with baking proper desserts and knitting. They keep moving up the priority list of things to do/learn. As long as I don't lay down on the couch... dangerous to get up!
	6:39pm Otis: On that note, time to start boiling the water... listening in the kitchen.
	6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do knit (and crochet) although I have an enormous project pile that I need to finish :-)
	6:40pm notsoKWYET: HONEY!
	6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - :-)
	6:40pm Martinibomb: I also know how to knit
	6:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - it really helps my anxiety :-)
	6:44pm notsoKWYET: thanks for a great show GG .... off to orchestra practice
	6:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - thank you for listening, lovely! And have fun! :-)
	6:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - speaking of The Hollyridge Strings and The Beach Boys ... ;-)
	6:48pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): What is helping MY anxiety is taking a break from Mark Hurst's outstanding yet stomach-churning program today. Ahhh, for spritely covers of hit songs from before my birth!
	6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Granny!!! Hello, lovely!! :-)
	6:49pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Hello, DJ GG!
	6:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Glad you're enjoying this :-) <3
	6:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One more track after this and then it's the Mighty Greg "Spacebrother" Bishop with Stop Hitting Yourself! :-) www.wfmu.org...
	6:53pm spacebrother: I'm HERE.
	6:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you SO MUCH for listening! As always I've had a blast - and I hope you have, too :-) Big hugs! :-)
	6:55pm Mr Fab: Dug the groovyness, thanks
	6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - thank YOU! :-)
	6:56pm Rich in Washington: I have this Tartaglia LP. It's groovilicious!
	6:56pm Rich in Washington: Hi spacebrother!
	6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - good, isn't it? :-)
	6:57pm edelkakao cha cha: Julie London and Peggy Lee could do sort of a "lazy" voice that was anything but, those were quite cool covers, especially Mighty Quinn. Thanks DJ GG and everyone else, and now for some whole grain pasta (with spinach and blue cheese)!
	6:58pm spacebrother: Hey Rich! Hey GG! Thanks for the nice hand-off as always.
	6:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - thank you, lovely! :-)
	6:58pm Rich in Washington: Great show today, GG! See you on Wednesday!
	6:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Looking forward to your show, Greg! :-)
	6:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you, Rich! :-)

	5:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Today's LHT is super smooooooooooooooth ;-)

	5:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And I've got books, CDs AND vinyl up for grabs! :-)
	5:10pm notsoKWYET: Hello GG ---
	5:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey Dan! :-) Just in time for some mellow grooviness :-)
	5:12pm notsoKWYET: I should be practicing Beethoven's 5th before practice but I'm here... please don't tell my conductor ;)

	5:16pm notsoKWYET: Full albums dedicated to the beatles, beach boys and the four seasons
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mind meld! ;-)
	5:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I thought you would :-)
	5:17pm melinda: Hi all
	5:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello melinda! :-)
	5:19pm Mr Fab: I have an album of Monkees-for-strings. Not the Hollyridge gang, think its by the Manhattan Strings or somesuch? That’s a good ‘un.
	5:19pm edelkakao cha cha: GG 5.16 My partner did also, even if they were tired from work. One must like a song if 99,9% asleep and yet tapping one's foot firmly in time with the music(the song was Video Killed The Radio Star, and that was quite cute to watch)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I've got an easy Monkees one somewhere too ... off the top of my head I can't remember who by tho. I need to sort my collection very very soon. It's getting a little out of order. :-)
	5:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - that song is irresistible ;-)
	5:21pm notsoKWYET: always grateful you turned me on to this version of Green Tambourine a while back...
	5:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - I know how much you love it :-) <3
	5:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Now who's this! ;-)
	5:23pm notsoKWYET: my voiceeeeee
	5:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: :-)
	5:24pm notsoKWYET: we need to do more of these ;)
	5:24pm notsoKWYET: Who knew Summer In The City would sound so good on a trombone
	5:25pm Mr Fab: Buddy Morrow did so much great stuff, he should be far more well known in the retro music world.
	5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I just imagine all the adults in their lounges and reclining chairs tapping their toes to this ;-)
	5:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - completely agree!
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This cover of Wear Your Love has extra beybeh power ;-)
	5:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes. I am obsessed with that show :-)
	5:29pm Mr Fab: Dang, I am a clicky-starring mofo today.
	5:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - bwah ha ha ... ;-) You're my musical slave now! :-)
	5:30pm Martinibomb: same here
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My harem of musical slaves! MWAHAHAHA ;-)
	5:31pm Rich in Washington: argh what a day I'm having. Here now!
	5:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Rich! Have some soothing music :-)
	5:32pm Rich in Washington: Hi DJ GeorglyGirl!
	5:32pm Rich in Washington: Hi Mr. Fab! Hi Martinibomb! Hi notsoKWYET!
	5:32pm notsoKWYET: GG is there Canada Dry in the UK?
	5:32pm notsoKWYET: Hi Rich
	5:32pm Rich in Washington: Hi edelkakao cha cha!
	5:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - yep! :-) I have another REALLY cool ad coming up for them later :-)
	5:33pm notsoKWYET: This is the 2nd best cover I have ever heard of this --- Quebecois goddess Jenny Rock takes the cake though
	5:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yes!!! Very much so :-)
	5:34pm Mr Fab: Deep Purple goes EZ?! Holy Spicolli, now I’ve heard everything.
	5:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - my secret stash ;-)
	5:36pm edelkakao cha cha: My fave ad was that about flash cubes, I mean I was using them as an 80s kid, goes to show me and my instamatic were brought to the wrong decade. (OK, OK, nowadays I am an 80s freak, but back then...)
	5:36pm Martinibomb: a very cool version of dizzy
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have very fond memories of flashcube cameras - I was always fascinated by them as a kid :-)
	5:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And I love Dizzy. Such a great song :-)
	5:39pm Mr Fab: Yep, “Dizzy” is such a classic choon. Hugo Montenegro’s Moog-y version is great too.
	5:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love all the Montenegro moog records :-)
	5:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Get down and groove, Peggy!
	5:42pm melinda: I liked flash cubes too.
	5:43pm edelkakao cha cha: I had no idea about this combination! Peggy Lee and Everyday People, OK, NOW I have indeed heard everything
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I swear flashcubes were way brighter than any other camera
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - Peggy's getting DOWN! ;-)
	5:44pm melinda: There’s an unexpected cover.
	5:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Here's that great Canada Dry advert!
	5:44pm Sem: Love some post-dinner Peggy Lee. Hello, djGG, and all along for this whole shebang.
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Sem! :-)
	5:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ann-Margret is in my Top Ten girl crushes. :-)
	5:46pm Sem: There was a time, she was the bomb, no doubt.
	5:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I still would ;-)
	5:47pm Rich in Washington: Swing it, Mel!
	5:49pm notsoKWYET: I think Elvis would have agreed about Ann-Margret as well
	5:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God they were a gorgeous couple, weren't they?
	5:52pm notsoKWYET: Yes... but the couple I want to know most about --- particularly if they were ever together - is Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood
	5:53pm Mr Fab: In the climactic talent contest in “Viva Las Vegas,” Elvis won (cuz it’s an Elvis movie), but really, Ann-Margret’s number really did blow even The King himself off the stage.
	5:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yeah, I've always wondered if it was personal as well as professional. God - "Some Velvet Morning". There's a song.
	5:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - in comparison to Ann-Margret, Elvis looks like he has two left feet. :-)
	5:54pm notsoKWYET: I dunno --- all those songs were too sexy for it not to have been
	5:55pm Mr Fab: If anyone visits me in L.A., I’d be happy to take you on a spin down the actual Blue Jay Way.
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This cover of Blackbird makes me think of A Mighty Wind :-)
	5:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I'll bring food for the journey! :-)
	5:56pm Rich in Washington: oh man. White people, amiright?
	5:56pm Sem: Frequently on the Ed Sullivan Show...
	5:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - dig it! LOL!
	5:57pm Rich in Washington: I loved the Second City episode where Sandler and Young were in some kind of spy hijinx movie.
	5:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a definitely a whiff of Stay-Prest slacks here :-)
	5:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've been binge-watching all the Lola Heatherton SCTV skits. :-)
	5:59pm Sem: Catherine O'Hara is a genius.
	5:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - if I ever met her I would be a fangirling, sobbing wreck :-)
	6:00pm notsoKWYET: A little bit off topic --- but i'm obsessed with Kids in the Hall's special "Chalet 2000"
	6:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - I mean, you KNOW how I feel about the Godlike genius of KITH :-)
	6:01pm Rob: Love Love Love Drags Me Down
	6:01pm Rich in Washington: I think that's one of those entire seasons which I have never seen. I need to rectify that ASAP.
	6:02pm Rich in Washington: I had this wonderful streaming comedy channel which had, in addition to KITH, a ton of britcoms, etc. It was fantastic and then some other streaming entity bought it and killed it off.
	6:02pm Sem: See you and all later in the week, GG. Ciao for now,
	6:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rob - yes!! And hello :-)
	6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - ugh. I hate that. You just get into something and they pull the plug on it.
	6:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you for listening Sem! See you later on :-)
	6:03pm Rob: Hi there GG ... and Dan... and all...
	6:07pm notsoKWYET: hi!
	6:08pm Rob: Illya
	6:09pm Rich in Washington: This is how The MAN put down the sixties revolution without firing a shot. It used the relentless, inexorable process of the Culture Industry, Adorno be damned!
	6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ilya was one talented bunny, that's for sure :-)
	6:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've always said that Easy Listening is the most subversive music on the planet. ;-)
	6:11pm Rob: Interesting factoid from wiki - David McCallum and Jill Ireland's son Val was in Jackson Browne's band
	6:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rob - I didn't know that! Does he still record?
	6:13pm ParUbi: Hi everyone!
	6:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hey there ParUbi! :-)
	6:14pm Rob: Val McCallum has worked with several artists and has one album of his own.
	6:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rob - I shall have to investigate further! Thank you for that :-)
	6:16pm Mr Fab: I've always wondered, who was this music for?! You know no hippie would be caught dead listening to it. And can you imagine the older generation wanting their beautiful strings and vocals sullied with those damn commie freak songs?
	6:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I think it all fits in with the stereo testing boom. Songs that are contemporary enough but not too out there for Mom and Dad to set up the equipment and entertain their liberal neighbours at dinner parties ;-)
	6:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Also artists like Mel Torme, Peggy lee, and Sammy Davis etc who want to stay relevant.
	6:19pm notsoKWYET: oh my.... I went and picked up a package of 2 45s i bought today --- one was Uptight !!!
	6:19pm notsoKWYET: but nancy wilsons version
	6:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I think also - using my parents as an example - althoughn they listened to The Beatles and The Stones and so on, they were also young marrieds, so the idea of being too "out there" was frowned upon. This way they could swing a little but not upset anyone.
	6:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you think of all the women's and home magazines in the late 60s with paisley and psychedelic prints. Be cool - but not too cool.
	6:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: What's that film with Diane Lane where she's a young housewife on holiday in the Catskills? She ends up having an affair and going to Woodstock to kind of break out and have fun and it's a HUGE scandal.
	6:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Moon Man? Man on the Moon?
	6:25pm ParUbi: A Walk on the Moon
	6:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @ParUbi - thank you! :-)
	6:25pm ParUbi: I remember that one. It was enjoyable, a nice capture of that period
	6:26pm Otis Fodder: Good evening or afternoon all.
	6:26pm ParUbi: I'm fascinated by how different periods of film represent different periods of history. The 80s version of the 50s is different than today's/
	6:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @ParUbi - I liked it too :-) And it showed the internal struggle of being young in the 60s but also bound by social mores and conventions. It was really well done.
	6:26pm ParUbi: But we're talking about late 60s for that one lol
	6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Otis! You know that you've timed it really well again, don't you? ;-)
	6:27pm ParUbi: It had the "thing and the other thing"-- the personal interwoven with a larger story about culture of the period
	6:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @ParUbi - exactly! I'm gonna have to rewatch that :-)
	6:29pm Otis Fodd: Work dictates my time and somehow must cosmically know when I should step in. Thank you galaxies.
	6:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Otis - gotta love them galaxies ;-)
	6:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do love Helmut Zacharias - one of my musical passions :-)
	6:30pm Otis Fo: I wonder how many cover variations they made of this Zacharias album or how many actually sold at the time. I have 2 cover variations and have seen 3 in bins. Makes me happy to know it was a bit out there.
	6:31pm Otis: My mother had a 7" single of "The Tipsy Piano" by Zacharias. One of the records I grew up. Bend me shape me indeed.
	6:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - I have yet to find a Zacharias track that I don't like :-)
	6:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: BINGO! ;-)
	6:31pm Otis: Thank you cosmic forces.
	6:32pm Otis: Reheating pasta for dinner this evening. Will be chowing down just in time for Greg's show.
	6:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I had a homemade lentil masala earlier but I could go a bowl of pasta right about now :-)
	6:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've drunk gallons of water today as well and am STILL thirsty. I don't know what the hell is up with that. Maybe I swallowed a salt lick in my sleep?
	6:34pm Otis: Fresh pasta from a place locally (want to make my own someday, another thing on the never-ending priority list)... and a simple sauce with a baguette. Basic and good, with a whole clove of garlic.
	6:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Otis - there is really nothing like a simple pasta dish. Warm. Filling. Tasty. Yum :-)
	6:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have a pasta machine in the back of the cupboard that I bought a million years ago. Every time I look at it I feel guilty because I still haven't used it.
	6:38pm Otis: I do weekly baskets here, local/organic/etc.. and fresh pasta I can order weekly so I get lazy. But it's one of the top things I want to learn, along with baking proper desserts and knitting. They keep moving up the priority list of things to do/learn. As long as I don't lay down on the couch... dangerous to get up!
	6:39pm Otis: On that note, time to start boiling the water... listening in the kitchen.
	6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I do knit (and crochet) although I have an enormous project pile that I need to finish :-)
	6:40pm notsoKWYET: HONEY!
	6:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - :-)
	6:40pm Martinibomb: I also know how to knit
	6:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MB - it really helps my anxiety :-)
	6:44pm notsoKWYET: thanks for a great show GG .... off to orchestra practice
	6:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @notsoKWYET - thank you for listening, lovely! And have fun! :-)
	6:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - speaking of The Hollyridge Strings and The Beach Boys ... ;-)
	6:48pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): What is helping MY anxiety is taking a break from Mark Hurst's outstanding yet stomach-churning program today. Ahhh, for spritely covers of hit songs from before my birth!
	6:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Granny!!! Hello, lovely!! :-)
	6:49pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Hello, DJ GG!
	6:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Glad you're enjoying this :-) <3
	6:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One more track after this and then it's the Mighty Greg "Spacebrother" Bishop with Stop Hitting Yourself! :-) www.wfmu.org...
	6:53pm spacebrother: I'm HERE.
	6:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you SO MUCH for listening! As always I've had a blast - and I hope you have, too :-) Big hugs! :-)
	6:55pm Mr Fab: Dug the groovyness, thanks
	6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - thank YOU! :-)
	6:56pm Rich in Washington: I have this Tartaglia LP. It's groovilicious!
	6:56pm Rich in Washington: Hi spacebrother!
	6:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - good, isn't it? :-)
	6:57pm edelkakao cha cha: Julie London and Peggy Lee could do sort of a "lazy" voice that was anything but, those were quite cool covers, especially Mighty Quinn. Thanks DJ GG and everyone else, and now for some whole grain pasta (with spinach and blue cheese)!
	6:58pm spacebrother: Hey Rich! Hey GG! Thanks for the nice hand-off as always.
	6:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @edelkakao - thank you, lovely! :-)
	6:58pm Rich in Washington: Great show today, GG! See you on Wednesday!
	6:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Looking forward to your show, Greg! :-)
	6:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you, Rich! :-)
