	3:24pm JakeGould: Headed to Coney Island to get some sea air! It’s nice out and sun is perfect.
	3:24pm Eric: such a great yaeji song. bless u sheila b., excited for the show!
	3:25pm ChrisB.: My Korean Baseball watching has me thinking these characters are Korean?
	♥ 3:27pm mariano: Afternoon, Handy! I'm good, thanks, just trying to keep myself motivated in terms of keeping the house tidy, my mind busy, etc. Been a good few days in that regard though I'm sure I'll go back to my natural schlub state soon enough. How've you been?
	3:27pm michael z: I love this song, so sultry. It’s my favourite by him.
	3:27pm Jett: Thanks for your kind welcome, @djsheilab, we lost 2 other cool rockers that I know of today, Phil May of the Pretty Things and Jorge Santana of Malo. I really need this show to bring some sunshine into my life today.
	♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: Doing, OK, Mariano. It's been a great WFMU day, of course. And while it's hotter than I WANT, we're sitting outside listening to SBB and the sparrows, quarantinis in hand, and supply issues sorted for a couple of days, at least. So I'll take it! It's also the longest time till more work!
	♥ 3:30pm listener 126464: the car alarm bird!
	3:32pm P-90: Sounds of Spring (in New York): bird songs and car alarms.
	3:34pm Jett: Just being is not enough fun, bit depressing. Also so many things going by the way side that are important to resolve. Creating a bit of a mountain of things to get things done when some normality returns.
	3:34pm Cooh John: Truly we only have now. There are no ordinary moments.
	♥ 3:35pm RomanDogBird: Yes! From Southland Tales!!
	♥ 3:35pm Handy Haversack: Ha, yeah! That definitely stood out to me and Kate!
	3:36pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I also love Ken's show for his call-backs to German music; especially from the 70s and 80s.
	♥ 3:37pm RomanDogBird: join us for an in-depth discussion of the penetrating issues facing society today... issues like abortion, terrorism, crime, poverty, social reform, quantum teleportation, teen horniness and war
	3:37pm andy the painter: i think that birdsong is particularly noticeable in the city now due to less traffic. i think the birds are always there and singing, you just can’t usually hear it! it points towards how things might be, if we choose: cleaner air, quieter streets. okay. done. hi sheila!
	♥ 3:37pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Sheila and the boom boom crew.
	♥ 3:38pm Phillippe Bastille: @handy @mariano @mr pumpy howdy, gents
	3:39pm craplivion: and gentiles?
	♥ 3:39pm djsheilab: Hey Andy the Painter! All sounds wonderful to me.
	♥ 3:41pm dreamyandseedy: wow, that Fairuz was lush!
	3:42pm craplivion: newyork city has had no pedestrian deaths from traffic during this lockdown.the longest stretch of time since they started recording the data in 1983
	♥ 3:42pm brainiac: Heh, I've still got the pop up player on my desktop from Weds. "Keine Lust Auf Diese Party" by Europa followed SMG "Teenage Horniness" on Ken's show. He's truly a master of juxtaposition. And creepiness.
	♥ 3:42pm Hubig Pie: I tune into SMK's show for the heavy metal/motown mashups
	♥ 3:43pm Listening Out There: Ken the Station Monster, er, Manager...
	♥ 3:44pm WoodsOfNH: I just love this show. I took a "mental health" day today and spent a good bit of it working on a painting. This is the perfect capper (plus quarantini)
	♥ 3:46pm djsheilab: Hubig Pie—Yeah that "Crazy Train" "September" mash-up is unbelievable!
	3:47pm mmeghan: Hi Sheila!! hope you're doing well :-) I always appreciate your show so much. xo from detroit
	♥ 3:47pm djsheilab: Thank you WoodsofNH + mmeghan!
	3:48pm flashbazbo: Was that nick drakes mom?
	♥ 3:49pm Passaic River Blues: Warbler migration is in full effect and the beauty of it is hard to describe. At Branch Brook Park in Newark this morning, we saw yellowthroats, redstarts, magnolia warblers, Wilson's warblers, a waterthrush, and a Nashville warbler (which I've never seen before). They're making their way from Central America to points north, and are just delightful.
	♥ 3:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Phillippe, what up?!
	♥ 3:49pm Doug in JC: We had a scarlet tanager in the parking lot at work the other day. The hawk nest is in full effect with three chicks hopping around!
	♥ 3:50pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, Handy...howdy!
	♥ 3:50pm listener james from westwood: The typography on that March jacket!
	♥ 3:50pm Passaic River Blues: @Doug: I saw a scarlet tanager yesterday. They don't seem real!
	♥ 3:51pm Handy Haversack: At least he loves us, brainiac! Hey, Phillippe, Mr. P. Sitting in the sun, socially distant from a friend of ours in the yard. Holy crap, a conversation with a person -- in person! -- other than us. Revelatory. Some cool warblers going through here. Towhees. Baltimore oriole last week.
	♥ 3:51pm Doug in JC: I thought it was a fluorescent cardinal!
	♥ 3:51pm mariano: Hi Phillippe and Mr. Pumpy!
	♥ 3:51pm Woo: I had to look. Margaret Annemarie Battavio aka Little Peggy March is 72 years old. Alive and well!
	♥ 3:52pm dreamyandseedy: PRB - i enjoy birding also! i have a recirculating fountain in my yard that attracts lots of interesting birds and other critters. My new birds this year are a Bell's Vireo, Hermit Thrush, and a Blue Grosbeak.
	♥ 3:53pm listener 126464: Shag Lounge for Little Peggy March font
	♥ 3:53pm Doug in JC: I miss Bound Brook Park... I should plan a trip soon
	3:54pm Lupek: Rest in peace Phil May of the Pretty Things
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just before Four is good ! Phil May - came somewhat between say MickJagger & JimMorrison.
	♥ 3:55pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila, Boomers and Skeletons. Let's rock.
	3:55pm Russt44: I saw an Indigo Bunting in Redding, Ct. but it was years ago. Beautiful little bird... And Cardinals
	3:57pm andy the painter: @craplivion. yep.
	3:58pm P-90: Now I want a “Back to Mono” pin...
	♥ 3:58pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy birds are chatty today here too. There's a cardinal hopping around outside my office door right now. We are having a neighborhood driveway get-together tonight. Basically everybody sets up chairs and fire pits at the end of their driveways and then people walk one JR unit away from each other and chat. Life in the 'burbs!
	♥ 4:00pm Passaic River Blues: @dreamyandseedy: props for the Bell's vireo!
	♥ 4:01pm Bryce: nothing soothes my little shriveled soul like molly drake
	♥ 4:02pm Phillippe Bastille: @PRB we are getting waders and ducks here now (Annapolis) The osprey are in and nesting. I read that 60% of all osprey in the US summer in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. I see egrets and blue and green herons every day. And there's a carrier kingfisher that alternates between pooping on my chair and not delivering alcohol to Handy
	4:02pm craplivion: its funny,when im walking around town.and im crossing a street.now i have cars stopping to let me cross.but its not a favor really.because theres usualy not a traffic line to have to wait for.most times i allways just wave them on like im a traffic cop.
	♥ 4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mono Tar.
	4:04pm michael z: What a great new song. Hazel is fantastic!! So glad we get at least ten new songs a week from you Sheila.
	♥ 4:05pm Handy Haversack: This is so good. Had to stand up to see what was going on!
	4:05pm ncjay: yes. Hazel's on my "buy" list now
	4:05pm Jett: Someone just told me Astrid Kirchhirr died a few days ago also. R.I.P. Sad!
	♥ 4:06pm Phillippe Bastille: @craplivion I hate to say it, but drivers are acting loonier in my neck of the woods
	♥ 4:08pm djsheilab: Bryce! Indeed, she is a treasure.
	4:09pm craplivion: i read that because less traffic.theres a few nuts that are need for speeding it.i figured that anyway
	4:10pm craplivion: im not in the city.im in new paltz.seventy miles north
	♥ 4:11pm Phillippe Bastille: yeah, the need for speeding pretty much sums it up
	♥ 4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Astrid @ 82. I wonder if she or Phil were pandemic related. Astrid cut the Beatles' hair into moptops from TeddyBoy Rawkbilly style into Mod 1960s style - took moody arty photos of them - encouraged their Artsiness & Style - hell she fed them. The subtle & strange ways Influence happens...
	♥ 4:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay that it's not mosquito season yet!
	4:13pm Itzall Hear: The Sequins. Love it. But then, I love 'em all 'cause well, you know...
	♥ 4:14pm efd: @RevRabbit the Guardian obit for Phil May says he died from "complications following hip surgery after a cycling accident, that are not related to coronavirus."
	♥ 4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx efd. Schizzle - biking like Nico...
	♥ 4:17pm brainiac: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love the new avatar! I do miss the bunny's bomb though. What about a lit fuse coming out of the Back To MONO button, maybe?
	♥ 4:19pm listener 126464: occasionally
	♥ 4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @braniac: You know - roundabout when the Boston Marathon got bombed - the Tars got squared off & the bomb was out of the frame a bit just then. & that seemed fine considering... Cooped up & fiddling w/ Photos - see... ...Maybe I'll try that...
	4:20pm Jett: Love this Samantha Sang record, always did! Great one.
	♥ 4:20pm listener james from westwood: Hell yes!
	♥ 4:21pm djsheilab: Barry Gibb's falsetto heals ALL.
	4:21pm mb: Hola Sheila and Boom Boomeras (<--key stroke error but i'm going with it :)
	4:22pm SeanG: lovin' this BEE GEES <3
	4:22pm P-90: Auf weidersehen Astrid. We are celebrating you.
	♥ 4:23pm Glorious Estephonic: wonderful set Sheila ! <3 <3 <3
	4:23pm Itzall Hear: I swear I heard Clay Pigeon in that backing harmony for "Emotion".
	♥ 4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...laptop battery crapping out...it'll haft wait. :)
	4:24pm sashajones: hi sheila!
	♥ 4:25pm djsheilab: Sashajones! Happy to see you here :)
	♥ 4:26pm listener 126464: chicken set
	♥ 4:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bee Gees good on pretty much any occasion. Sasha! I'm doing great; thanks for asking the other day.
	4:26pm Russt44: Samantha Sang... great version and Winona Carr rocked the house!!
	4:27pm Jett: Great choice for the occasional man! Love all of his stuff!
	4:28pm Russt44: No one like the Bee Gees
	♥ 4:28pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila, hello everyone. A little later than normal. I'm on the isle of Texel with my brother, preparing his caravan for the season
	4:28pm sashajones: Hi Ken! Haha love that conversations can spill over from show to show.
	4:29pm thesecoronalives: someone should just play a bunch of the versions of 'long tall sally' in a row; they're almost all great..
	4:30pm dano59: This rlly cooks!!
	4:30pm BH: you know somebody thought "what if we tried covering Little Richard as slowly as possible" and they had to be talked out of it
	♥ 4:32pm RomanDogBird: Barry Gibb, a beautiful, hairy man
	4:33pm dano59: Lucille might work...
	♥ 4:35pm JohnEBGood: Hi Sheila, It sounds like you are doing well. Thanks for sharing ; )
	4:35pm Mike Sin: Hi Sheila - sounds great! Got ya blastin’ off the back porch.
	♥ 4:36pm JohnEBGood: And a large crow just passed by. My neighbor says that's good luck!
	4:37pm jools: Stellar show as always. Its mad to think your doing a afternoon show. It goes so well with a bottle of wine as the day ends here in Dublin Eire. The cat is behaving latley... Top tip... A plate of tuna sends them straight asleep should quite time be required.
	4:38pm BH: hopefully Paradise Island will not reopen too early
	♥ 4:38pm djsheilab: Haha! Well said, RomanDogBird!
	♥ 4:40pm Gaylord Fields: @BH @dano59: Buddy Holly does LR on sizzurp: www.youtube.com...
	4:40pm 2904ConTO: Zat Stevie Wonder on the drums!?
	♥ 4:41pm djsheilab: Thanks Mike Sin! Perfect sunny afternoon for the porch.
	♥ 4:41pm djsheilab: Thank you Jools!
	♥ 4:42pm djsheilab: Yo Russt44!
	♥ 4:43pm Gaylord Fields: @2904ConTO: If you're referring to the Betty Wright song, that's highly doubtful — produced in Miami by Clarence "Blowfly" Reid.
	4:43pm Jett: Betty Wright was such a nice lady also. Her death was very upsetting to me. I've contacted the family and sent my condolences. Thanks to the recorded medium she'll love with us forever.
	4:43pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Bouncing through my shift, thanks
	4:43pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Love this Wanderlea
	♥ 4:46pm djsheilab: Hey any of you regulars heard anything from Jocelyn? She came into my mind last night and I realized she hasn't been on the board in awhile. Hope she's okay.
	♥ 4:46pm Glorious Estephonic: love lora logic !
	4:47pm 2904ConTO: @Gaylord Fields I was thinking it had swing like “You Haven’t Done Nothing”
	4:48pm 2904ConTO: @Gaylord Fields the “Wanderlea” tune
	4:49pm Toothgrinder Tom: Ah that sweet Shibuya sound.
	♥ 4:50pm Kevin-san: Saying hello late, been in and out, watching baby robins in the back yard... to any bird-inclined listeners in NJ, Garret Mountain in Woodland Park is THE place in spring migration. Cuckoos, tanagers, 18 species or warblers today and Red-tailed Hawk nest with 3 chicks
	♥ 4:51pm Passaic River Blues: Holy shit, Kevin-san. Thank you for the tip.
	♥ 4:51pm Gaylord Fields: 2904ConTO: Wanderléa recorded in Brazil, but there was a lot of cross-pollination when it came to funky grooves at that time.
	♥ 4:51pm Monica: hola, sheila and sophistocato boom boomers. a day late and a dollar short but happy to be here for the loveliness.
	♥ 4:52pm djsheilab: Always happy to see you here, Monica!
	♥ 4:53pm Carmichael: Nice Francoise! I saw the Nice do a version of this, with a wild Keith Emerson piano solo.
	4:53pm dano59: Sheila I love Shoora Shoora! From an FMU premium i can’t recall otherwise ...
	4:53pm Jett: @Gaylord Fields Not sure about that album, but I know Betty Wright used The Wilkerson Brothers as her rhythm section (bass and drums) a lot.
	♥ 4:53pm djsheilab: dano59—Pure euphoria!
	♥ 4:56pm Kevin-san: @Passaic River Blues: best to get there early (sunrise) and start on the ridge by the tower, that's where they arrive when there's a flight, but it can be good anywhere... parking is tough after 10 if it's nice out
	4:56pm dano59: Absolutively!!
	♥ 4:57pm listener 126464: i think i broke this cassette too
	4:58pm audiolab1: Cowboy Junkies!!! Awesome Sheila!
	4:58pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Cowboy Junkies. Made my day. Thank you
	♥ 4:58pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: Has anyone ever written the definitive Miami soul/funk book? Henry Stone and Clarence Reid are gone, but Steve Alaimo is still alive and (I hope) kicking, as are the likes of KC, George McCrae, and Latimore.
	♥ 4:58pm Kevin-san: Love some Cowboy Junk, but didn't you say this was going to be a happy show, DJSB?
	4:59pm dano59: @Gaylord - oh yes, I’m enamored of all the contempo music Buddy assimilated in real time ...
	5:00pm dano59: C. Junkies’ second saddest song, after Lost My Driving Wheel ...
	♥ 5:01pm mariano: Sheila B: I don't recall Jocelyn commenting in any of the shows I've been commenting on for as far back as I can remember. Love this version of "I'm So Lonesome". There's a really good soul version by Barbara Lynn as well.
	♥ 5:01pm Israel T: Haven’t heard the Junkies in ages. Thanks for playing. Such a great cover.
	5:02pm BH: you mean "Dancing in the Streets" isn't a good rainy day song?
	5:02pm Jett: Not that I know of @Gaylord Fields but that's a book that needs to be done, and some of those Georgia, Florida guys need to cover that hopefully some of the folks you mentioned.
	5:03pm dano59: I could go down a CJ/Hank Sr. Rabbithole this weekend, but might need Sinatra by 3 am Sunday just to cheer up
	♥ 5:03pm Stanley: Going to fish out The Trinity Sessions. now. Thanks for playing.
	♥ 5:04pm Spinning Giant: Haven't played Trinity Sessions in awhile...such a great record...one of my all-time faves... still remember being 16 and running to the record store to pick this up the day it came out...they were not yet a big deal then and not too many people had heard of them outside our native Toronto... great memories... loving the vibe, Sheila...but I may just disappear for awhile to play that whole record...
	♥ 5:04pm Michael Shelley: Feeling motivated - just emailed George "Worldwide Ambassador of LOVE" McCrae.
	♥ 5:04pm Victor Eremita: It's snowing elm seeds outside my window
	5:04pm P-90: I NEVER miss John Oliver. Highly recommended show!
	5:05pm craplivion: i am legend,with sheilas mass dogdemic?
	♥ 5:05pm Monica: @gaylord, Mr. C wrote an authoritative piece on the Miami scene in 1976 for the Boston Phoenix. Was embedded there for a magical week or two and knew Betty quite well. He and I interviewed Henry on WFMU back in June, 2003.
	♥ 5:05pm chris: union busting on the part of the top
	5:05pm Jett: @djSheilaB Haven't dug out that Cowboy Junkies CD since probably around 1990, Margo Timmins was such a great singer.
	♥ 5:06pm Mennlinn Rebarts: In Japan you can bank at the post office.
	♥ 5:06pm chris: oh, and hi, Sheila and folks. loving the show. trinity sessions takes me back to a blue time when that whole damn album just hit the spot for me.
	♥ 5:06pm listener james from westwood: Yes! Save the Post Office! Excellent point re: 501(c)(3)s like FMU being crushed.
	♥ 5:06pm Carmichael: Jocelyn last posted in April 2019 on Rich Hazelton's show. Hope she's OK.
	5:07pm johnzo: its not supposed to run on taxes its supposed to be self funding... and would be if not required to pre fund their employees benefits decades in advance... a recent rule designed to bankrupt them
	♥ 5:07pm Passaic River Blues: I don't even understand the motivation to close the USPS. Let's lay off almost 1 million people! Let's make commerce and legal process impossible! Let's try to be the first developed nation to not have a national postal service because we are so fucking stupid!
	♥ 5:07pm mariano: Yeah, kill off the USPS so that UPS and FedEx have even more slop in the corporate trough courtesy of their buddies in the government.
	5:07pm Jett: I'm a retired postman, thanks for defending us. @djSheilaB
	5:07pm craplivion: corps want all privatised with no compitent government,id say
	5:07pm Vanessa Tara: betty wright's early Deep City label stuff is great!
	5:08pm Itzall Hear: The US Post office receives NO funding from tax dollars, they are solely dependent on us, the people who buy stamps, postage and pay for their services. I also LOVE the post office and the employees at our P.O. are fantastic.
	♥ 5:08pm brainiac: It's nothing but an attempt to disrupt Bezos. It's just that petty.
	5:09pm Vanessa Tara: sorry just here ... (from vancouver, canada)
	♥ 5:09pm listener 126464: Michael don't rock the boat.
	5:09pm craplivion: whats a corperations worse enemy?a sovereignly strong government
	♥ 5:09pm Carmichael: That's long been the bitching from the private sector, that govt employees make too much and don't do anything. Privatize everything. The world's first Gig Nation.
	♥ 5:10pm Gaylord Fields: @Monica: Thanks, sugah! I'll ask Mr. C if he has a copy, or else search the Series of Tubes for it. Gotta get his ultimate take on the guitar genius of Little Beaver. I'm just in a Miami mood post–Betty Wright's passing. (And I do recall that Henry Stone interview. I'll seek that out as well.)
	♥ 5:11pm chris: killer, killer SotW, Sheila. loving this.
	5:11pm Jett: @Itzall The main reason the Post Office currently operates at a loss is because every time it's been solvent, the U.S. Government takes the post office money and uses it to fund so many idiotic pork projects, they never pay it back. Abusive!
	♥ 5:11pm brainiac: The neighbors have warned me that if I scream "MENDACITY" out my window one more time they'll have to call the cops. They don't want to do it, but enough's enough, they say.
	♥ 5:13pm mariano: Chambacú!!!
	♥ 5:13pm chris: cumbia! ay ay!
	5:13pm IamBasil: This track by Ava Rocha is sensational
	5:13pm craplivion: this reminds me os squirel nut zippers..int the afterlife song
	♥ 5:13pm Passaic River Blues: I mean, I understand private competitors chomping at the bit to try to take over USPS's volume, but I doubt they have the capacity to handle it. Prices would rise tremendously and people would lose their shit because the USPS is so entwined with commerce, legal affairs, our culture, etc. Also, laying off literally hundreds of thousands of people amidst a public health crisis and growing economic depression has to be one of the dumbest things slithering 'round our subhuman president's mushy brain. … @brainiac: HAHAHA
	♥ 5:13pm djsheilab: Right?! Glad you dig @IamBasil!
	5:14pm IamBasil: Hi SheilaB hey everyone!!! Happy Friday!!!we did it we made it through another week
	5:17pm Jett: Keep in mind that USPS has that exclusivity for your mailbox, legally no other delivery service is allowed to put stuff in your mailbox, only the post office. These other delivery companies have fought for that access for many years. They should never be allowed.
	5:17pm lp-cover-lover: Go Dimples! Rock your lean lanky jukebox!
	♥ 5:18pm djsheilab: Loving all these post office discussions. Thanks!
	♥ 5:18pm Listener John from NJ: Hello SheilaB and fellow listeners!
	5:19pm michael z: I'm old enough that I remember how exciting hot pants were!! But I never knew they had their own song.
	♥ 5:19pm Carmichael: What a great name, Dimples Harris. Better than Skeeter Davis or Juice Newton.
	♥ 5:19pm listener 126464: it's fun getting into trouble
	♥ 5:19pm djsheilab: Haha! Absolutely thrilling, michael z.!
	♥ 5:20pm brainiac: Funkadelphia, y'all
	♥ 5:20pm Carmichael: I think James Brown had a song about Hot Pants.
	♥ 5:20pm Monica: hahaha, went to an elvis concert in '72 and all the middle-aged elvis fans were wearing hot pants and ginaormous 'i love elvis' buttons.
	♥ 5:21pm djsheilab: Monica—Oh what a sight.
	♥ 5:21pm Carmichael: You can never un-see that.
	♥ 5:22pm brainiac: Oh man, to hear Shatner's Tambourine Man after this would be too much...
	♥ 5:22pm Carmichael: Soul Brother #1: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 5:23pm listener james from westwood: Good find, St. Etienne!
	5:24pm Jett: Meow!!!
	5:24pm P-90: Lester!
	♥ 5:24pm Carmichael: Stashu's radar must be going off with this song!
	5:25pm dano59: Privatizing mail delivery is the worst, most destructive idea to arise in America, even in this age of really bad ideas
	♥ 5:26pm Monica: @gaylord, yeah hit up mr. c direct as the article is not on ye olde google. henry was character and a half. used to have to collect money from him when he was our distributor and boy was that hilarious. learned alot about checks taking the "scenic route" and deducting non-existing return authorizations (RA's) for unsold records. always gave great phone though:)
	5:26pm ledzeppelinsucks: The USPS should have restricted the use of Zip codes
	♥ 5:26pm Ice Cream 2 God! (Sweden): Sheeeeeillaaaa Bbbbbbb!!!! Saviour of the Universe!! ..I mean sure I've dropped in a bit late but always happy to be here! Hope everyone is doing well, best wishes from over the seas
	5:26pm P-90: Cool segue
	5:26pm craplivion: wasnt there a cartoon that used this less paul song
	♥ 5:26pm Carmichael: A definitive version of How High the Moon: www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm ledzeppelinsucks: The politicians might make delivering ballots or election materials illegal by private carriers.
	♥ 5:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Congress mandated the post office to fund their pension plan for like 75 years (Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006). I suspect the usual goons want to privatize the USPS and get their hands on those sweet pension dollars.
	5:28pm dano59: Still on Rona’s theme, 6 min time shift from walking the dog earlier. Barrett? Rex Reed must be nearby!
	♥ 5:28pm brainiac: @Carmichael: Can't wait to check that out!
	5:29pm GListener MW: Loving this Japanese version of Lover’s Concerto! <3
	5:29pm Jett: Nice version of A Lover's Concerto but nobody can top The great Barbara Harris singing this.
	♥ 5:30pm Handy Haversack: Brushing pollen off the laptop. Sheila, it's sounding so good!
	5:30pm craplivion: stop that pigeon cartoon is what the les paul tiger song was reminding me of
	5:31pm ncjay: there are a couple of cheap and amusing e-books out there that are basically transcriptions of Henry free-associating about his years in the business - search for "Stone Cold Truth" by Henry and Jake Katel.
	5:31pm Jett: I love Barbara Harris!
	5:31pm dano59: Bring back postal banking! Put the high-fee services (ck-cashing, ATMs) on the sidelines... jeezus we need vision, in the face of all this destructive greed
	5:32pm ledzeppelinsucks: Rural people will get the shaft if USPS goes down. Blum and similar others have first right to commissions and development of USPS properties.
	♥ 5:34pm listener 126464: Barbara played a lot as Babs and something or other (no disrespect) for a long time in monmouth county area, as well as other locales i'm sure
	♥ 5:35pm Threemoons: Hola Sheila B and fellow Sophisticates! TGIF! Waiting for my grocery delivery....just took delivery on some wine...
	5:35pm P-90: Did Sheila’s girl gang have a name?
	5:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: bully sluts
	♥ 5:35pm listener james from westwood: OMG that gang definitely needs a name
	5:36pm BH: question about the story: were you all using enough hairspray to put a hole in the ozone layer during the girl bully days?
	5:36pm craplivion: i bet your warrant games still happens.the games are the same.
	♥ 5:37pm listener 126464: i was gonna listen to this, thanks Sheila!
	5:38pm ledzeppelinsucks: junk mail funded it for years
	♥ 5:38pm brainiac: This is my favorite song of all time and I'm not ashamed to say it.
	5:38pm craplivion: and email killed the postal worker star
	5:38pm dano59: Rural route residents also depend on USPS for the last leg of ups/fedx deliveries... methinks whoever’s backing this bollocks hasn’t thought it thru, or just don’t care. Probably both
	5:38pm ?: @ledzeppelinsucks: I agree entirely with your title.
	5:39pm Jett: ...and John Oliver is correct. It's not the first time they messed with the Post Office money though. They've done it before also.
	♥ 5:39pm WoodsOfNH: This whole idea of getting rid of the post office is similar to getting rid of the aca. They have no solution for a replacement. The post office carries a ton of stuff "the last mile" that fedex/ups will not. Plus, it's in the constitution, something I'm sure John Oliver talked about.
	♥ 5:39pm EG_Astro: this is the second time I've heard a cover of this song this week on wfmu - i hope i said that right
	5:40pm michael z: This cover is so gorgeous. Sadly suits today's reality.
	♥ 5:40pm Kevin-san: Not quite the same vibe as Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, ha ha, but it's sublime
	♥ 5:41pm brainiac: @EG_Astro: You are correct, Ken played a live version by Nick Lowe on Weds morning.
	♥ 5:41pm mariano: Yeah, "Cherry Pie" was pretty egregious, the video too. The one that really got me as well was the video for "Centerfold", which I watched a few years ago for the first time in probably decades. It's a great song, but man, that video has not aged well.
	5:41pm P-90: One of those songs that just invites a lot of great interpretations.
	♥ 5:41pm EG_Astro: Yes! Thank you brain!
	5:42pm PJ: In addition the general Republican hatred for public services, the main reason for the postal act of 2006, which requires the Post Office to fully fund all pensions RIGHT NOW for all workers (every other pension fund is designed to grow over time as money is paid in and investments increase in size) was to drive the USPS into bankruptcy so that the Postal Workers Union can be crushed. Republicans hate all unions, but particularly unions of government workers, and the Postal Workers Union was the very first, so has a special place for their hatred.
	♥ 5:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Monica: Ah, good times!
	5:42pm Jett: Mean gang girl Sheila, must've had some attitude. Meanwhile nowadays you seem like such a wonderful humble lady. I think you're awesome. Warrant, Ugh! horrible.
	5:42pm BH: Also when it comes to post offices and rural areas.. it can also be a dependable job in some areas where there's not a lot of good paying jobs around. So that's something worth keeping.
	5:42pm Cooh John: You get an "A" for your doing your homework, djsheilab. Saw Nick Lowe do this last fall. Closing number backed by LSJ.
	♥ 5:43pm Buddha of Suburbia: This is such a great playlist.
	5:43pm BH: Also when it comes to 80s things and not aging great... the lyrics of "Funky Cold Medina" do not age great at all
	5:43pm johnzo: @Jett... fascinating, I never new/noticed that about the mailbox
	5:44pm PJ: @Ken from Hyde Park: also what you said @BH: A postal job is often the first step into the middle class for poor people, and historically, in particular for people of color.
	5:44pm ?: Thanks sheila for playing the next great Michael!
	5:44pm Listener Howard & the Cats: Shelia! My understanding is that 2006 act was specifically designed to force the post office out of business so companies like Pitney Bowes could take it over... Fuck them! Save the post office! xoxo
	5:45pm dano59: Lovely take on PLU... almost a gospel song.
	5:45pm Listener Howard & the Cats: Or exactly what PJ already said!
	5:46pm Jett: This "Light" by Michael Kiwanuka reminds me so much of "Love Song" by Lesley Duncan.
	♥ 5:46pm mariano: Some POs, both in urban and rural areas, are real deco architectural treasures too, built by the WPA. Many have amazing murals: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:46pm Santos L Halper: Love this Kiwanuka...
	♥ 5:47pm N'Lo: This Kiwanuka is lovely! this show is vibing with putting my skates on and dancing about the living room!
	5:47pm P-90: Listener Howard for the win! Yes, underneath it all it’s about privatization, and taking away the US Postal Service and giving its infrastructure, including routes that alone are worth hundreds of billions, to private interests in a sweetheart deal.
	5:48pm BH: PJ: also there's a lot of veterans who are working for the postal service (partly thanks to how federal hiring preferences work for that sort of thing)
	♥ 5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: Remember years ago when you'd get bills in the mail and you'd mail a check back? Automatic electronic payments from the bank account are convenient, but certainly mean lost revenue for the PO.
	♥ 5:51pm brainiac: This RÅÅ song provides the peaceful bliss I need to keep my head from exploding again.
	♥ 5:51pm Phillippe Bastille: @sheilaB @4:45 I've been wondering about Jocelyn as well. I think she signs in from the app, so I never saw a way to contact her. I know she had tested positive for the virus but was asymptomatic except for a little shortness of breath -- was only tested because she had been in Italy (we talked about it on the board here, so I'm not revealing any secrets). I hope she's ok, I miss her too.
	♥ 5:53pm brainiac: Welp, here's another must-watch video for after the show.
	♥ 5:53pm listener 126464: at least she saved the beers
	♥ 5:53pm Ice Cream 2 God! (Sweden): Whoa! Howl! Some sounds of home :D
	♥ 5:54pm EG_Astro: Wow haven't heard of moloko in a long time! loved this in HS
	5:54pm craplivion: i just had a weird idea.if the postal service could set up an email serveice somehow.maybe watch an ad before using to help payoff.
	5:55pm Jett: @djsheilab Thanks for another weekly precious gift that comes so much from your heart and is so appreciated. Stay safe and well! Don't ever change, you are so amazing. Much love back to you!
	♥ 5:55pm Ice Cream 2 God! (Sweden): And then a Moloko flashback too! I can't take it!
	5:55pm Luv: Sheila is always the best.
	♥ 5:56pm listener 126464: Thank you Sheila B.!
	5:56pm michael z: Tahnk you Sheila for this glorious upbeat show. Stay safe everyone and à la prochaine...
	5:56pm loveless: @craplivion Before banks had online service, I use to pay my bills via he USPS online. It was fantastic but the banks caught up & surpassed the idea.
	5:56pm craplivion: the lack of the postal service to digitize their existance is their,and so many others downfall
	♥ 5:57pm Stanley: Another uplifting and enjoyable show. Thanks Sheila, just what was needed. Take care.
	♥ 5:57pm Handy Haversack: I can't believe it's so late! Thanks, Sheila! Thanks, Skeletons! Have a good weekend, everyone!
	♥ 5:57pm mariano: Thanks Sheila B and Skeleton Crew, take care y'all!
	5:57pm ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all. Canada Post has stopped doing home deliveries since around 2014 it seems.No good.JobLess all.
	5:58pm ncjay: really enjoyable - thanks, Sheila!
	♥ 5:58pm radioronan: Thanks for the excellent show Sheila.. I'm gonna slide into my hot pants, grab a cocktail and dance into the weekend with WFMU! Be well everyone!
	♥ 5:58pm listener james from westwood: Killer diller program, Sheila! Thanks!
	♥ 5:58pm Monica: thx, lady!
	♥ 5:58pm chris: thanks, Sheila and Skel crew!
	5:58pm Vanessa Tara: thank you sheila!
	5:59pm craplivion: this was annother good show,chat and music..thanks..i missed last show
	♥ 5:59pm ParUbi: Thanks, Sheila!
	5:59pm Vanessa Tara: keep the faith!
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for not just mailing it in today, Sheila. Entering polka mode. Bye, all!
	5:59pm ?: Thanks for hosting this party, Sheila B.!
	♥ 6:00pm brainiac: Thanks Sheila! Stay healthy everyone.
	6:00pm P-90: Thanks Sheila B! zoo

	♥ 3:22pm Mark Hurst: Hi Handy!
	♥ 3:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Quarantini ! Yes. That has to happen...

	3:24pm JakeGould: Headed to Coney Island to get some sea air! It’s nice out and sun is perfect.
	3:24pm Eric: such a great yaeji song. bless u sheila b., excited for the show!
	3:25pm ChrisB.: My Korean Baseball watching has me thinking these characters are Korean?
	♥ 3:27pm mariano: Afternoon, Handy! I'm good, thanks, just trying to keep myself motivated in terms of keeping the house tidy, my mind busy, etc. Been a good few days in that regard though I'm sure I'll go back to my natural schlub state soon enough. How've you been?
	3:27pm michael z: I love this song, so sultry. It’s my favourite by him.
	3:27pm Jett: Thanks for your kind welcome, @djsheilab, we lost 2 other cool rockers that I know of today, Phil May of the Pretty Things and Jorge Santana of Malo. I really need this show to bring some sunshine into my life today.
	♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: Doing, OK, Mariano. It's been a great WFMU day, of course. And while it's hotter than I WANT, we're sitting outside listening to SBB and the sparrows, quarantinis in hand, and supply issues sorted for a couple of days, at least. So I'll take it! It's also the longest time till more work!
	♥ 3:30pm listener 126464: the car alarm bird!
	3:32pm P-90: Sounds of Spring (in New York): bird songs and car alarms.
	3:34pm Jett: Just being is not enough fun, bit depressing. Also so many things going by the way side that are important to resolve. Creating a bit of a mountain of things to get things done when some normality returns.
	3:34pm Cooh John: Truly we only have now. There are no ordinary moments.
	♥ 3:35pm RomanDogBird: Yes! From Southland Tales!!
	♥ 3:35pm Handy Haversack: Ha, yeah! That definitely stood out to me and Kate!
	3:36pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I also love Ken's show for his call-backs to German music; especially from the 70s and 80s.
	♥ 3:37pm RomanDogBird: join us for an in-depth discussion of the penetrating issues facing society today... issues like abortion, terrorism, crime, poverty, social reform, quantum teleportation, teen horniness and war
	3:37pm andy the painter: i think that birdsong is particularly noticeable in the city now due to less traffic. i think the birds are always there and singing, you just can’t usually hear it! it points towards how things might be, if we choose: cleaner air, quieter streets. okay. done. hi sheila!
	♥ 3:37pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Sheila and the boom boom crew.

	3:42pm craplivion: newyork city has had no pedestrian deaths from traffic during this lockdown.the longest stretch of time since they started recording the data in 1983
	♥ 3:42pm brainiac: Heh, I've still got the pop up player on my desktop from Weds. "Keine Lust Auf Diese Party" by Europa followed SMG "Teenage Horniness" on Ken's show. He's truly a master of juxtaposition. And creepiness.
	♥ 3:42pm Hubig Pie: I tune into SMK's show for the heavy metal/motown mashups
	♥ 3:43pm Listening Out There: Ken the Station Monster, er, Manager...
	♥ 3:44pm WoodsOfNH: I just love this show. I took a "mental health" day today and spent a good bit of it working on a painting. This is the perfect capper (plus quarantini)
	♥ 3:46pm djsheilab: Hubig Pie—Yeah that "Crazy Train" "September" mash-up is unbelievable!

	3:48pm flashbazbo: Was that nick drakes mom?
	♥ 3:49pm Passaic River Blues: Warbler migration is in full effect and the beauty of it is hard to describe. At Branch Brook Park in Newark this morning, we saw yellowthroats, redstarts, magnolia warblers, Wilson's warblers, a waterthrush, and a Nashville warbler (which I've never seen before). They're making their way from Central America to points north, and are just delightful.
	♥ 3:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Phillippe, what up?!
	♥ 3:49pm Doug in JC: We had a scarlet tanager in the parking lot at work the other day. The hawk nest is in full effect with three chicks hopping around!
	♥ 3:50pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, Handy...howdy!
	♥ 3:50pm listener james from westwood: The typography on that March jacket!
	♥ 3:50pm Passaic River Blues: @Doug: I saw a scarlet tanager yesterday. They don't seem real!
	♥ 3:51pm Handy Haversack: At least he loves us, brainiac! Hey, Phillippe, Mr. P. Sitting in the sun, socially distant from a friend of ours in the yard. Holy crap, a conversation with a person -- in person! -- other than us. Revelatory. Some cool warblers going through here. Towhees. Baltimore oriole last week.
	♥ 3:51pm Doug in JC: I thought it was a fluorescent cardinal!
	♥ 3:51pm mariano: Hi Phillippe and Mr. Pumpy!
	♥ 3:51pm Woo: I had to look. Margaret Annemarie Battavio aka Little Peggy March is 72 years old. Alive and well!
	♥ 3:52pm dreamyandseedy: PRB - i enjoy birding also! i have a recirculating fountain in my yard that attracts lots of interesting birds and other critters. My new birds this year are a Bell's Vireo, Hermit Thrush, and a Blue Grosbeak.
	♥ 3:53pm listener 126464: Shag Lounge for Little Peggy March font
	♥ 3:53pm Doug in JC: I miss Bound Brook Park... I should plan a trip soon
	3:54pm Lupek: Rest in peace Phil May of the Pretty Things

	♥ 3:55pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila, Boomers and Skeletons. Let's rock.
	3:55pm Russt44: I saw an Indigo Bunting in Redding, Ct. but it was years ago. Beautiful little bird... And Cardinals
	3:57pm andy the painter: @craplivion. yep.
	3:58pm P-90: Now I want a “Back to Mono” pin...
	♥ 3:58pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy birds are chatty today here too. There's a cardinal hopping around outside my office door right now. We are having a neighborhood driveway get-together tonight. Basically everybody sets up chairs and fire pits at the end of their driveways and then people walk one JR unit away from each other and chat. Life in the 'burbs!
	♥ 4:00pm Passaic River Blues: @dreamyandseedy: props for the Bell's vireo!
	♥ 4:01pm Bryce: nothing soothes my little shriveled soul like molly drake
	♥ 4:02pm Phillippe Bastille: @PRB we are getting waders and ducks here now (Annapolis) The osprey are in and nesting. I read that 60% of all osprey in the US summer in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. I see egrets and blue and green herons every day. And there's a carrier kingfisher that alternates between pooping on my chair and not delivering alcohol to Handy
	4:02pm craplivion: its funny,when im walking around town.and im crossing a street.now i have cars stopping to let me cross.but its not a favor really.because theres usualy not a traffic line to have to wait for.most times i allways just wave them on like im a traffic cop.
	♥ 4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mono Tar.
	4:04pm michael z: What a great new song. Hazel is fantastic!! So glad we get at least ten new songs a week from you Sheila.
	♥ 4:05pm Handy Haversack: This is so good. Had to stand up to see what was going on!
	4:05pm ncjay: yes. Hazel's on my "buy" list now
	4:05pm Jett: Someone just told me Astrid Kirchhirr died a few days ago also. R.I.P. Sad!
	♥ 4:06pm Phillippe Bastille: @craplivion I hate to say it, but drivers are acting loonier in my neck of the woods
	♥ 4:08pm djsheilab: Bryce! Indeed, she is a treasure.
	4:09pm craplivion: i read that because less traffic.theres a few nuts that are need for speeding it.i figured that anyway
	4:10pm craplivion: im not in the city.im in new paltz.seventy miles north
	♥ 4:11pm Phillippe Bastille: yeah, the need for speeding pretty much sums it up
	♥ 4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Astrid @ 82. I wonder if she or Phil were pandemic related. Astrid cut the Beatles' hair into moptops from TeddyBoy Rawkbilly style into Mod 1960s style - took moody arty photos of them - encouraged their Artsiness & Style - hell she fed them. The subtle & strange ways Influence happens...
	♥ 4:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay that it's not mosquito season yet!
	4:13pm Itzall Hear: The Sequins. Love it. But then, I love 'em all 'cause well, you know...
	♥ 4:14pm efd: @RevRabbit the Guardian obit for Phil May says he died from "complications following hip surgery after a cycling accident, that are not related to coronavirus."
	♥ 4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx efd. Schizzle - biking like Nico...
	♥ 4:17pm brainiac: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love the new avatar! I do miss the bunny's bomb though. What about a lit fuse coming out of the Back To MONO button, maybe?
	♥ 4:19pm listener 126464: occasionally
	♥ 4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @braniac: You know - roundabout when the Boston Marathon got bombed - the Tars got squared off & the bomb was out of the frame a bit just then. & that seemed fine considering... Cooped up & fiddling w/ Photos - see... ...Maybe I'll try that...
	4:20pm Jett: Love this Samantha Sang record, always did! Great one.
	♥ 4:20pm listener james from westwood: Hell yes!
	♥ 4:21pm djsheilab: Barry Gibb's falsetto heals ALL.

	4:24pm sashajones: hi sheila!
	♥ 4:25pm djsheilab: Sashajones! Happy to see you here :)
	♥ 4:26pm listener 126464: chicken set
	♥ 4:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bee Gees good on pretty much any occasion. Sasha! I'm doing great; thanks for asking the other day.
	4:26pm Russt44: Samantha Sang... great version and Winona Carr rocked the house!!
	4:27pm Jett: Great choice for the occasional man! Love all of his stuff!
	4:28pm Russt44: No one like the Bee Gees
	♥ 4:28pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila, hello everyone. A little later than normal. I'm on the isle of Texel with my brother, preparing his caravan for the season
	4:28pm sashajones: Hi Ken! Haha love that conversations can spill over from show to show.
	4:29pm thesecoronalives: someone should just play a bunch of the versions of 'long tall sally' in a row; they're almost all great..
	4:30pm dano59: This rlly cooks!!
	4:30pm BH: you know somebody thought "what if we tried covering Little Richard as slowly as possible" and they had to be talked out of it
	♥ 4:32pm RomanDogBird: Barry Gibb, a beautiful, hairy man
	4:33pm dano59: Lucille might work...
	♥ 4:35pm JohnEBGood: Hi Sheila, It sounds like you are doing well. Thanks for sharing ; )
	4:35pm Mike Sin: Hi Sheila - sounds great! Got ya blastin’ off the back porch.
	♥ 4:36pm JohnEBGood: And a large crow just passed by. My neighbor says that's good luck!
	4:37pm jools: Stellar show as always. Its mad to think your doing a afternoon show. It goes so well with a bottle of wine as the day ends here in Dublin Eire. The cat is behaving latley... Top tip... A plate of tuna sends them straight asleep should quite time be required.
	4:38pm BH: hopefully Paradise Island will not reopen too early
	♥ 4:38pm djsheilab: Haha! Well said, RomanDogBird!
	♥ 4:40pm Gaylord Fields: @BH @dano59: Buddy Holly does LR on sizzurp: www.youtube.com...
	4:40pm 2904ConTO: Zat Stevie Wonder on the drums!?

	♥ 4:41pm djsheilab: Thank you Jools!
	♥ 4:42pm djsheilab: Yo Russt44!
	♥ 4:43pm Gaylord Fields: @2904ConTO: If you're referring to the Betty Wright song, that's highly doubtful — produced in Miami by Clarence "Blowfly" Reid.
	4:43pm Jett: Betty Wright was such a nice lady also. Her death was very upsetting to me. I've contacted the family and sent my condolences. Thanks to the recorded medium she'll love with us forever.
	4:43pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Bouncing through my shift, thanks
	4:43pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Love this Wanderlea
	♥ 4:46pm djsheilab: Hey any of you regulars heard anything from Jocelyn? She came into my mind last night and I realized she hasn't been on the board in awhile. Hope she's okay.
	♥ 4:46pm Glorious Estephonic: love lora logic !
	4:47pm 2904ConTO: @Gaylord Fields I was thinking it had swing like “You Haven’t Done Nothing”
	4:48pm 2904ConTO: @Gaylord Fields the “Wanderlea” tune
	4:49pm Toothgrinder Tom: Ah that sweet Shibuya sound.
	♥ 4:50pm Kevin-san: Saying hello late, been in and out, watching baby robins in the back yard... to any bird-inclined listeners in NJ, Garret Mountain in Woodland Park is THE place in spring migration. Cuckoos, tanagers, 18 species or warblers today and Red-tailed Hawk nest with 3 chicks
	♥ 4:51pm Passaic River Blues: Holy shit, Kevin-san. Thank you for the tip.
	♥ 4:51pm Gaylord Fields: 2904ConTO: Wanderléa recorded in Brazil, but there was a lot of cross-pollination when it came to funky grooves at that time.
	♥ 4:51pm Monica: hola, sheila and sophistocato boom boomers. a day late and a dollar short but happy to be here for the loveliness.
	♥ 4:52pm djsheilab: Always happy to see you here, Monica!
	♥ 4:53pm Carmichael: Nice Francoise! I saw the Nice do a version of this, with a wild Keith Emerson piano solo.
	4:53pm dano59: Sheila I love Shoora Shoora! From an FMU premium i can’t recall otherwise ...
	4:53pm Jett: @Gaylord Fields Not sure about that album, but I know Betty Wright used The Wilkerson Brothers as her rhythm section (bass and drums) a lot.
	♥ 4:53pm djsheilab: dano59—Pure euphoria!
	♥ 4:56pm Kevin-san: @Passaic River Blues: best to get there early (sunrise) and start on the ridge by the tower, that's where they arrive when there's a flight, but it can be good anywhere... parking is tough after 10 if it's nice out
	4:56pm dano59: Absolutively!!
	♥ 4:57pm listener 126464: i think i broke this cassette too
	4:58pm audiolab1: Cowboy Junkies!!! Awesome Sheila!
	4:58pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Cowboy Junkies. Made my day. Thank you
	♥ 4:58pm Gaylord Fields: @Jett: Has anyone ever written the definitive Miami soul/funk book? Henry Stone and Clarence Reid are gone, but Steve Alaimo is still alive and (I hope) kicking, as are the likes of KC, George McCrae, and Latimore.
	♥ 4:58pm Kevin-san: Love some Cowboy Junk, but didn't you say this was going to be a happy show, DJSB?
	4:59pm dano59: @Gaylord - oh yes, I’m enamored of all the contempo music Buddy assimilated in real time ...
	5:00pm dano59: C. Junkies’ second saddest song, after Lost My Driving Wheel ...
	♥ 5:01pm mariano: Sheila B: I don't recall Jocelyn commenting in any of the shows I've been commenting on for as far back as I can remember. Love this version of "I'm So Lonesome". There's a really good soul version by Barbara Lynn as well.
	♥ 5:01pm Israel T: Haven’t heard the Junkies in ages. Thanks for playing. Such a great cover.
	5:02pm BH: you mean "Dancing in the Streets" isn't a good rainy day song?
	5:02pm Jett: Not that I know of @Gaylord Fields but that's a book that needs to be done, and some of those Georgia, Florida guys need to cover that hopefully some of the folks you mentioned.
	5:03pm dano59: I could go down a CJ/Hank Sr. Rabbithole this weekend, but might need Sinatra by 3 am Sunday just to cheer up
	♥ 5:03pm Stanley: Going to fish out The Trinity Sessions. now. Thanks for playing.
	♥ 5:04pm Spinning Giant: Haven't played Trinity Sessions in awhile...such a great record...one of my all-time faves... still remember being 16 and running to the record store to pick this up the day it came out...they were not yet a big deal then and not too many people had heard of them outside our native Toronto... great memories... loving the vibe, Sheila...but I may just disappear for awhile to play that whole record...
	♥ 5:04pm Michael Shelley: Feeling motivated - just emailed George "Worldwide Ambassador of LOVE" McCrae.
	♥ 5:04pm Victor Eremita: It's snowing elm seeds outside my window
	5:04pm P-90: I NEVER miss John Oliver. Highly recommended show!
	5:05pm craplivion: i am legend,with sheilas mass dogdemic?
	♥ 5:05pm Monica: @gaylord, Mr. C wrote an authoritative piece on the Miami scene in 1976 for the Boston Phoenix. Was embedded there for a magical week or two and knew Betty quite well. He and I interviewed Henry on WFMU back in June, 2003.
	♥ 5:05pm chris: union busting on the part of the top
	5:05pm Jett: @djSheilaB Haven't dug out that Cowboy Junkies CD since probably around 1990, Margo Timmins was such a great singer.
	♥ 5:06pm Mennlinn Rebarts: In Japan you can bank at the post office.
	♥ 5:06pm chris: oh, and hi, Sheila and folks. loving the show. trinity sessions takes me back to a blue time when that whole damn album just hit the spot for me.
	♥ 5:06pm listener james from westwood: Yes! Save the Post Office! Excellent point re: 501(c)(3)s like FMU being crushed.
	♥ 5:06pm Carmichael: Jocelyn last posted in April 2019 on Rich Hazelton's show. Hope she's OK.
	5:07pm johnzo: its not supposed to run on taxes its supposed to be self funding... and would be if not required to pre fund their employees benefits decades in advance... a recent rule designed to bankrupt them
	♥ 5:07pm Passaic River Blues: I don't even understand the motivation to close the USPS. Let's lay off almost 1 million people! Let's make commerce and legal process impossible! Let's try to be the first developed nation to not have a national postal service because we are so fucking stupid!
	♥ 5:07pm mariano: Yeah, kill off the USPS so that UPS and FedEx have even more slop in the corporate trough courtesy of their buddies in the government.
	5:07pm Jett: I'm a retired postman, thanks for defending us. @djSheilaB
	5:07pm craplivion: corps want all privatised with no compitent government,id say
	5:07pm Vanessa Tara: betty wright's early Deep City label stuff is great!
	5:08pm Itzall Hear: The US Post office receives NO funding from tax dollars, they are solely dependent on us, the people who buy stamps, postage and pay for their services. I also LOVE the post office and the employees at our P.O. are fantastic.
	♥ 5:08pm brainiac: It's nothing but an attempt to disrupt Bezos. It's just that petty.
	5:09pm Vanessa Tara: sorry just here ... (from vancouver, canada)
	♥ 5:09pm listener 126464: Michael don't rock the boat.
	5:09pm craplivion: whats a corperations worse enemy?a sovereignly strong government
	♥ 5:09pm Carmichael: That's long been the bitching from the private sector, that govt employees make too much and don't do anything. Privatize everything. The world's first Gig Nation.
	♥ 5:10pm Gaylord Fields: @Monica: Thanks, sugah! I'll ask Mr. C if he has a copy, or else search the Series of Tubes for it. Gotta get his ultimate take on the guitar genius of Little Beaver. I'm just in a Miami mood post–Betty Wright's passing. (And I do recall that Henry Stone interview. I'll seek that out as well.)
	♥ 5:11pm chris: killer, killer SotW, Sheila. loving this.
	5:11pm Jett: @Itzall The main reason the Post Office currently operates at a loss is because every time it's been solvent, the U.S. Government takes the post office money and uses it to fund so many idiotic pork projects, they never pay it back. Abusive!
	♥ 5:11pm brainiac: The neighbors have warned me that if I scream "MENDACITY" out my window one more time they'll have to call the cops. They don't want to do it, but enough's enough, they say.
	♥ 5:13pm mariano: Chambacú!!!
	♥ 5:13pm chris: cumbia! ay ay!
	5:13pm IamBasil: This track by Ava Rocha is sensational
	5:13pm craplivion: this reminds me os squirel nut zippers..int the afterlife song
	♥ 5:13pm Passaic River Blues: I mean, I understand private competitors chomping at the bit to try to take over USPS's volume, but I doubt they have the capacity to handle it. Prices would rise tremendously and people would lose their shit because the USPS is so entwined with commerce, legal affairs, our culture, etc. Also, laying off literally hundreds of thousands of people amidst a public health crisis and growing economic depression has to be one of the dumbest things slithering 'round our subhuman president's mushy brain. … @brainiac: HAHAHA
	♥ 5:13pm djsheilab: Right?! Glad you dig @IamBasil!
	5:14pm IamBasil: Hi SheilaB hey everyone!!! Happy Friday!!!we did it we made it through another week
	5:17pm Jett: Keep in mind that USPS has that exclusivity for your mailbox, legally no other delivery service is allowed to put stuff in your mailbox, only the post office. These other delivery companies have fought for that access for many years. They should never be allowed.
	5:17pm lp-cover-lover: Go Dimples! Rock your lean lanky jukebox!
	♥ 5:18pm djsheilab: Loving all these post office discussions. Thanks!
	♥ 5:18pm Listener John from NJ: Hello SheilaB and fellow listeners!
	5:19pm michael z: I'm old enough that I remember how exciting hot pants were!! But I never knew they had their own song.
	♥ 5:19pm Carmichael: What a great name, Dimples Harris. Better than Skeeter Davis or Juice Newton.
	♥ 5:19pm listener 126464: it's fun getting into trouble
	♥ 5:19pm djsheilab: Haha! Absolutely thrilling, michael z.!
	♥ 5:20pm brainiac: Funkadelphia, y'all
	♥ 5:20pm Carmichael: I think James Brown had a song about Hot Pants.
	♥ 5:20pm Monica: hahaha, went to an elvis concert in '72 and all the middle-aged elvis fans were wearing hot pants and ginaormous 'i love elvis' buttons.
	♥ 5:21pm djsheilab: Monica—Oh what a sight.
	♥ 5:21pm Carmichael: You can never un-see that.
	♥ 5:22pm brainiac: Oh man, to hear Shatner's Tambourine Man after this would be too much...
	♥ 5:22pm Carmichael: Soul Brother #1: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 5:23pm listener james from westwood: Good find, St. Etienne!
	5:24pm Jett: Meow!!!
	5:24pm P-90: Lester!
	♥ 5:24pm Carmichael: Stashu's radar must be going off with this song!
	5:25pm dano59: Privatizing mail delivery is the worst, most destructive idea to arise in America, even in this age of really bad ideas
	♥ 5:26pm Monica: @gaylord, yeah hit up mr. c direct as the article is not on ye olde google. henry was character and a half. used to have to collect money from him when he was our distributor and boy was that hilarious. learned alot about checks taking the "scenic route" and deducting non-existing return authorizations (RA's) for unsold records. always gave great phone though:)
	5:26pm ledzeppelinsucks: The USPS should have restricted the use of Zip codes
	♥ 5:26pm Ice Cream 2 God! (Sweden): Sheeeeeillaaaa Bbbbbbb!!!! Saviour of the Universe!! ..I mean sure I've dropped in a bit late but always happy to be here! Hope everyone is doing well, best wishes from over the seas
	5:26pm P-90: Cool segue
	5:26pm craplivion: wasnt there a cartoon that used this less paul song
	♥ 5:26pm Carmichael: A definitive version of How High the Moon: www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm ledzeppelinsucks: The politicians might make delivering ballots or election materials illegal by private carriers.
	♥ 5:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Congress mandated the post office to fund their pension plan for like 75 years (Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006). I suspect the usual goons want to privatize the USPS and get their hands on those sweet pension dollars.
	5:28pm dano59: Still on Rona’s theme, 6 min time shift from walking the dog earlier. Barrett? Rex Reed must be nearby!
	♥ 5:28pm brainiac: @Carmichael: Can't wait to check that out!
	5:29pm GListener MW: Loving this Japanese version of Lover’s Concerto! <3
	5:29pm Jett: Nice version of A Lover's Concerto but nobody can top The great Barbara Harris singing this.
	♥ 5:30pm Handy Haversack: Brushing pollen off the laptop. Sheila, it's sounding so good!
	5:30pm craplivion: stop that pigeon cartoon is what the les paul tiger song was reminding me of
	5:31pm ncjay: there are a couple of cheap and amusing e-books out there that are basically transcriptions of Henry free-associating about his years in the business - search for "Stone Cold Truth" by Henry and Jake Katel.
	5:31pm Jett: I love Barbara Harris!
	5:31pm dano59: Bring back postal banking! Put the high-fee services (ck-cashing, ATMs) on the sidelines... jeezus we need vision, in the face of all this destructive greed
	5:32pm ledzeppelinsucks: Rural people will get the shaft if USPS goes down. Blum and similar others have first right to commissions and development of USPS properties.
	♥ 5:34pm listener 126464: Barbara played a lot as Babs and something or other (no disrespect) for a long time in monmouth county area, as well as other locales i'm sure
	♥ 5:35pm Threemoons: Hola Sheila B and fellow Sophisticates! TGIF! Waiting for my grocery delivery....just took delivery on some wine...
	5:35pm P-90: Did Sheila’s girl gang have a name?
	5:35pm ledzeppelinsucks: bully sluts
	♥ 5:35pm listener james from westwood: OMG that gang definitely needs a name
	5:36pm BH: question about the story: were you all using enough hairspray to put a hole in the ozone layer during the girl bully days?
	5:36pm craplivion: i bet your warrant games still happens.the games are the same.
	♥ 5:37pm listener 126464: i was gonna listen to this, thanks Sheila!
	5:38pm ledzeppelinsucks: junk mail funded it for years
	♥ 5:38pm brainiac: This is my favorite song of all time and I'm not ashamed to say it.
	5:38pm craplivion: and email killed the postal worker star
	5:38pm dano59: Rural route residents also depend on USPS for the last leg of ups/fedx deliveries... methinks whoever’s backing this bollocks hasn’t thought it thru, or just don’t care. Probably both
	5:38pm ?: @ledzeppelinsucks: I agree entirely with your title.
	5:39pm Jett: ...and John Oliver is correct. It's not the first time they messed with the Post Office money though. They've done it before also.
	♥ 5:39pm WoodsOfNH: This whole idea of getting rid of the post office is similar to getting rid of the aca. They have no solution for a replacement. The post office carries a ton of stuff "the last mile" that fedex/ups will not. Plus, it's in the constitution, something I'm sure John Oliver talked about.
	♥ 5:39pm EG_Astro: this is the second time I've heard a cover of this song this week on wfmu - i hope i said that right
	5:40pm michael z: This cover is so gorgeous. Sadly suits today's reality.
	♥ 5:40pm Kevin-san: Not quite the same vibe as Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, ha ha, but it's sublime
	♥ 5:41pm brainiac: @EG_Astro: You are correct, Ken played a live version by Nick Lowe on Weds morning.
	♥ 5:41pm mariano: Yeah, "Cherry Pie" was pretty egregious, the video too. The one that really got me as well was the video for "Centerfold", which I watched a few years ago for the first time in probably decades. It's a great song, but man, that video has not aged well.
	5:41pm P-90: One of those songs that just invites a lot of great interpretations.
	♥ 5:41pm EG_Astro: Yes! Thank you brain!
	5:42pm PJ: In addition the general Republican hatred for public services, the main reason for the postal act of 2006, which requires the Post Office to fully fund all pensions RIGHT NOW for all workers (every other pension fund is designed to grow over time as money is paid in and investments increase in size) was to drive the USPS into bankruptcy so that the Postal Workers Union can be crushed. Republicans hate all unions, but particularly unions of government workers, and the Postal Workers Union was the very first, so has a special place for their hatred.
	♥ 5:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Monica: Ah, good times!
	5:42pm Jett: Mean gang girl Sheila, must've had some attitude. Meanwhile nowadays you seem like such a wonderful humble lady. I think you're awesome. Warrant, Ugh! horrible.
	5:42pm BH: Also when it comes to post offices and rural areas.. it can also be a dependable job in some areas where there's not a lot of good paying jobs around. So that's something worth keeping.
	5:42pm Cooh John: You get an "A" for your doing your homework, djsheilab. Saw Nick Lowe do this last fall. Closing number backed by LSJ.
	♥ 5:43pm Buddha of Suburbia: This is such a great playlist.
	5:43pm BH: Also when it comes to 80s things and not aging great... the lyrics of "Funky Cold Medina" do not age great at all
	5:43pm johnzo: @Jett... fascinating, I never new/noticed that about the mailbox
	5:44pm PJ: @Ken from Hyde Park: also what you said @BH: A postal job is often the first step into the middle class for poor people, and historically, in particular for people of color.
	5:44pm ?: Thanks sheila for playing the next great Michael!
	5:44pm Listener Howard & the Cats: Shelia! My understanding is that 2006 act was specifically designed to force the post office out of business so companies like Pitney Bowes could take it over... Fuck them! Save the post office! xoxo
	5:45pm dano59: Lovely take on PLU... almost a gospel song.
	5:45pm Listener Howard & the Cats: Or exactly what PJ already said!
	5:46pm Jett: This "Light" by Michael Kiwanuka reminds me so much of "Love Song" by Lesley Duncan.
	♥ 5:46pm mariano: Some POs, both in urban and rural areas, are real deco architectural treasures too, built by the WPA. Many have amazing murals: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:46pm Santos L Halper: Love this Kiwanuka...
	♥ 5:47pm N'Lo: This Kiwanuka is lovely! this show is vibing with putting my skates on and dancing about the living room!
	5:47pm P-90: Listener Howard for the win! Yes, underneath it all it’s about privatization, and taking away the US Postal Service and giving its infrastructure, including routes that alone are worth hundreds of billions, to private interests in a sweetheart deal.
	5:48pm BH: PJ: also there's a lot of veterans who are working for the postal service (partly thanks to how federal hiring preferences work for that sort of thing)
	♥ 5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: Remember years ago when you'd get bills in the mail and you'd mail a check back? Automatic electronic payments from the bank account are convenient, but certainly mean lost revenue for the PO.
	♥ 5:51pm brainiac: This RÅÅ song provides the peaceful bliss I need to keep my head from exploding again.
	♥ 5:51pm Phillippe Bastille: @sheilaB @4:45 I've been wondering about Jocelyn as well. I think she signs in from the app, so I never saw a way to contact her. I know she had tested positive for the virus but was asymptomatic except for a little shortness of breath -- was only tested because she had been in Italy (we talked about it on the board here, so I'm not revealing any secrets). I hope she's ok, I miss her too.
	♥ 5:53pm brainiac: Welp, here's another must-watch video for after the show.
	♥ 5:53pm listener 126464: at least she saved the beers
	♥ 5:53pm Ice Cream 2 God! (Sweden): Whoa! Howl! Some sounds of home :D
	♥ 5:54pm EG_Astro: Wow haven't heard of moloko in a long time! loved this in HS
	5:54pm craplivion: i just had a weird idea.if the postal service could set up an email serveice somehow.maybe watch an ad before using to help payoff.
	5:55pm Jett: @djsheilab Thanks for another weekly precious gift that comes so much from your heart and is so appreciated. Stay safe and well! Don't ever change, you are so amazing. Much love back to you!
	♥ 5:55pm Ice Cream 2 God! (Sweden): And then a Moloko flashback too! I can't take it!
	5:55pm Luv: Sheila is always the best.
	♥ 5:56pm listener 126464: Thank you Sheila B.!
	5:56pm michael z: Tahnk you Sheila for this glorious upbeat show. Stay safe everyone and à la prochaine...
	5:56pm loveless: @craplivion Before banks had online service, I use to pay my bills via he USPS online. It was fantastic but the banks caught up & surpassed the idea.
	5:56pm craplivion: the lack of the postal service to digitize their existance is their,and so many others downfall
	♥ 5:57pm Stanley: Another uplifting and enjoyable show. Thanks Sheila, just what was needed. Take care.
	♥ 5:57pm Handy Haversack: I can't believe it's so late! Thanks, Sheila! Thanks, Skeletons! Have a good weekend, everyone!
	♥ 5:57pm mariano: Thanks Sheila B and Skeleton Crew, take care y'all!
	5:57pm ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all. Canada Post has stopped doing home deliveries since around 2014 it seems.No good.JobLess all.
