	3:17pm Michael 98145: My intro to NYC will always have been all those issues of the Village Voice
	3:18pm listener james from westwood: Those free Voices were a huge bennie of my time working in NYC.
	3:18pm djsheilab: smilerwithaknife—It definitely wouldn't be this good :)
	3:19pm CM: me want cookies
	3:19pm Michael 98145: we left-coasters had to pay. worth every penny.
	3:19pm Russt44: Original lyrics
	3:20pm Yes: this lynn castle is great
	3:20pm allie: only been to Manhattan myself. but I understand that Brooklyn is the most populated of the five boroughs.
	3:20pm Hughie Considine: Just this week I listened to a fascinating dive into the history of the Cookies via "The Locomotion" on the wonderful podcast "a history of rock music in 500 songs." I highly, highly recommend this enterprise.
	3:21pm Handy Haversack: Satan's Whiskerses mixed -- we'll be sitting outside letting our little slice of NYC hear the show, Sheila!
	3:21pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Sheila and all! Boom boom boom!
	3:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Hola, Señor Haversack!
	3:23pm Russt44: B, Lynn Castle was Phil S girlfriend.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Russt44—Really?! I didn't know that!
	3:25pm Handy Haversack: Der Pumpmeister! Glad you made it!
	3:25pm djsheilab: Last time I played this, I followed it with the Sting original, and was slaughtered. I won't be doing that again :)
	3:26pm Itzall Hear: Hi djsheilab, love this version, so good. Thank you for being here, and you just play whatever you want! No slaughtering!!! Peace.
	3:26pm Hughie Considine: Sting is a divisive figure. That much is true.
	3:27pm dM: LOVE this version of "alien"! i so love for your show!
	3:27pm djsheilab: Hughie Considine: Phil Collins + Sting both!
	3:28pm Franco: Helio Sheila !!! Buon venerdí !
	3:28pm editor_b: I do have a really funny parody by an British transplant to NOLA titled, "An Englishman in New Orleans."
	3:30pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Blossom Dearie!
	3:30pm djsheilab: Hello editor_b, Franco, dM, Itzall Hear, and all of you here with me on the radio n' board!
	3:30pm PaulRobeson1920: Howd’y yall! Warm summer greetings! I love NY dearly, and the people most of all! @Lake Eric - Remeber the 1960’s? Oh boy! The Lower East Side!? NYC birthed many things and strange wonderful tunes are amoung them!
	3:30pm Hughie Considine: She makes me sigh.
	3:31pm Handy Haversack: Kate's wondering Nellie MacKaye doing "Manhattan Avenue" might be upcoming.
	3:31pm Chico: I have a WFMU marathon DJ tape circa 199x that features many of these gorgeous tunes heard today. Odd serendipity i suppose....
	3:31pm Russt44: Now we're talking.
	3:31pm mysilentface: This Blossom Dearie is dreamy...
	3:33pm Jett: Blossom Dearie is so awesome! You are on fire- @djsheilab ❤️
	3:33pm Russt44: I do mean Blossom
	3:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Blossom Dearie...perfect decompression tune after a hectic week. Sublime.
	3:33pm goes211: TGI Sheila and Boom Boom!
	3:34pm listener james from westwood: Chris Cross cover!
	3:34pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and boomers.
	3:34pm Handy Haversack: It'll make you jump jump! No, wait.
	3:34pm PaulRobeson1920: Among* For a moment, I thought thats too many exclamation marks for one comment... but perhaps its not enough! The 1920’s and 30’s and shucks the 1940’s and 50’s Produced some timeless music as well, and of course the roots go back even farther
	3:36pm Handy Haversack: Though I'll say that once when circling LGA for an hour or so under a full moon with this song stuck in my head after a very hard trip, well, it got poignant. Things. Got. Poignant.
	3:36pm steveo: It's pretty much impossible for me to see the moon while I'm in NYC without thinking of this song
	3:37pm dM: OMG Shelia - you are killing it once again!! arthur's theme - lol - love it!
	3:38pm Chico: I found it!!!! It called "Gotham Chorale" Was a premium for Tamar's show
	3:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Poignant...I'll say! What rhymes with poignant?
	3:39pm dreamyandseedy: K I M
	3:39pm allie: I'm guessing sometime coming up will be hearing Billie Holiday, Autumn in New York.
	3:39pm ambit: such a gorgeous set, it's put me in a great mood
	3:40pm PaulRobeson1920: @Handy My dad worked at Laguardia for 30 years and grew up in Williamsburg when nobody wanted to live there. He said all his friends were trying to leave and he would routinely be the only person in McCareen park running. One day he saw a man chase someone out of a bar shooting at him with a pistol and thats when he said “i gotta get outa here”
	3:42pm PaulRobeson1920: My Fathers, grandfather sold their brownstone in 1981 for -Twelve Thousand Dollars
	3:42pm dreamyandseedy: have to say Foxy's B.K. Anthem goes harder but Kim can have this one
	3:42pm PaulRobeson1920: He said never could he have predicted people would want to live there
	3:44pm Handy Haversack: PR1920, I maintain that it should never be named without adding a descriptor: "F**kin' Laguardia!"
	3:44pm P-90: RETHA!
	3:45pm Aharon: hahahaha what a good show
	3:45pm Hughie Considine: When I moved to Alphabet City in spring '86, my grandfather couldn't believe I was so excited to move into the neighborhood he fought like hell to lift his family out of.
	3:46pm Jett: To quote Ralph Kramden "Baby, You're the Greatest." @djsheilab
	3:46pm Michael 98145: OOw Waah
	3:47pm Yes: this show is a constant breath of fresh air.
	3:47pm Michael 98145: Yes, it is
	3:49pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Great selection of New York hits!
	3:49pm PaulRobeson1920: Good music Shelia B!
	3:50pm listener james from westwood: And in the center of it all Is the Milford Plaza!
	3:50pm PaulRobeson1920: Sheila B* Good stuff
	3:50pm Rick A.: Is the whole show about NYC? We haven't ridden the A Train yet.
	3:50pm P-90: All top shelf today
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: The sparrows have arrived to enjoy the tunes! Hughie, when I came to NYC in 1993, there were still three restaurants in the Village that would give me a drink or even a meal because my dad had waited tables there in the fifties and early sixties!
	3:52pm listener james from westwood: Grace Jones albums: Good cover art, or BEST cover art?
	3:52pm Michael 98145: Ooh, Grace!
	3:53pm Hughie Considine: I miss that city, @Handy
	3:53pm djsheilab: listener james from westwood—BEST! She wins all cover artwork and photographs.
	3:53pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:54pm allie: oow waah ta goose Siam - Oscar Madison.
	3:55pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Yes I remember when the Bowery was the Bowery and you did not go to Alphabet City unless you could see the sun, when Hell’s Kitchen was even scarier...
	3:56pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Commercial Real Estate will falter for a bit but cities evolve look at Rome
	3:57pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: GRACE!!!
	3:57pm Michael 98145: ♫ ♥ ♫
	3:59pm Jason from Houston: OH SNAP
	4:00pm Hughie Considine: Glad I was there for Save the Robots, a basement-level after-hours club on Avenue B, which had a sand-covered floor to mimic the beach and was dark as a dungeon so you had no idea what time it was, like a dirty Vegas.
	4:00pm Francesca Smith-Archiapatti:
	4:00pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I will be at Rockaway Beach this weekend to try to catch a wave or two.
	4:00pm Jason from Houston: (ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ ✿ ✿ ✿
	4:01pm PaulRobeson1920: In 1950 NYC was one of two Mega Cities on earth (population exceeding 10 Million) the other being Tokyo, Japan.
	4:01pm dreamyandseedy: had a feeling you would end the set w/this gem swaying
	4:02pm PaulRobeson1920: @Hughie That sounds like a good time
	4:03pm Miss G: turned on the radio, was Shonen Knife doing the Ramones! How did I miss this in 2011?! Thank you Sheila B!
	4:06pm barfo: When I moved to New York in 1843 I was terrified of robots and also would never go to five points.
	4:06pm editor_b: Love your love for the city, Sheila
	4:07pm Rehanna: Yay fellow Irooni!!!
	4:08pm Rick A.: Great reference to Brownies, Sheila, from 1992 to 1999, I lived three blocks up from that great venue. I saw many great bands there.
	4:08pm ZeeBee: Hey friends!!! Hi Sheila! I’m loving the show, thank you so much!!! Sending love to all
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: A fly just landed in my Satan's Whiskers! 2012 end of days!!
	4:12pm allie: I don't know where all those people are moving to, but it can't be Jersey. because people are bailing out of Jersey as well.
	4:13pm Russt44: Thank you for sticking up for excellent, talented songwriters!
	4:13pm PaulRobeson1920: @barfo NYC in the 1840s up through the 1930s... “The Night Soil men” criss crossed the city every single night. You cannot see the smell in the Photographs of these hard working professionals! Check em out, o my! The “Night Soil” Profession has an interesting history... and without them there is no urban living!
	4:13pm PaulRobeson1920: Staying!
	4:14pm Miss G: Maybe a bunch of (we used to call them yuppies) can leave NYC so some of us can move back!
	4:14pm PaulRobeson1920: 65,000 Vacant apartments in the city vs 20,000 at this time last year
	4:15pm P-90: This arrangement is inspired
	4:15pm Handy Haversack: Where would we go? I can't even imagine driving everywhere I need to go. Nightmare. Miss G, from your lips to the universe's ear! That's my fondest hope. It would be nice to live in a neighborhood again instead of a yuppie playground.
	4:16pm listener james from westwood: Aw, I remember going to coffee shops.
	4:17pm WM: Well spoken, Miss G! I live in Jersey City (and I'm glad to be here) but I consider myself to part of the NYC diaspora.
	4:18pm ?: Thank you Sheila B! Lifelong New Yorker. Love your show. So lame that everyone is leaving.
	4:18pm Miss G: @PaulRobeson1920, I have a book that you might love: "As You Pass By" by Dunshee (Hastings House) "Old Manhattan Through the Fire Laddies' Eyes." There are some copies out there that aren't too dear. WM ha, I was pushed from Manhattan to Hoboken to JC (then beyond.)
	4:18pm Russt44: Suzanne never gets old
	4:18pm PaulRobeson1920: I’m going to look that up right now @MissG
	4:19pm The Oscar: Tuned in halfway through the last set, but needless to say this is an amazing show!
	4:19pm Handy Haversack: My pant legs just got a LOT wider!
	4:20pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	4:22pm Miss G: @WM, in a new sci-fi book N.K. Jemisin "The City We Became," (about NYC in a way) Jersey City plays an important part, can't say due to spoilers.
	4:23pm P-90: Gotta love anyone called The Delrons
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: Seriously, though, Sheila, things have been so hard sometimes lately. Negotiating NYC in these times -- led by murderous idiots, surrounded by capital's playland -- can be hard. It is a GIFT of you to remind us why we love it. To let us have the time and space and sounds to remember that being here can be a raw, ripping joy. And that it doesn't have to be nostalgia! We're here now! We're getting out and shouting to say "THIS is what New York looks like! Like the people!" It's still our home. Love it and shout it. Thanks, Sheila. Another gift.
	4:23pm Rick A.: New York has been through many worse times than this. If you have seen Ric Burns' five part New York: A Documentary History, you know the many difficult times this city has experienced from the draft riots in the 1860s to the Great Depression to the 1970s fiscal crisis. It continues to endure as a haven for those of us that don't fit in elsewhere. Maybe this will chase out the posers who were here just for the consumer aspects of the city.
	4:24pm The Oscar: One of my favorite New York memories is getting lost on the subway late at night on a college trip, and my friends and I getting sidetracked looking for Ramones landmarks on the map.
	4:24pm Hughie Considine: The Bowery pays you 6 percent when commercial banks in New York simply do not.
	4:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Ha Oscar thats great
	4:25pm listener james from westwood: @Rick A: Plus three big blackouts!
	4:25pm northguineahills: Thanks, Sheila, for the NYC nostalgia, it cheers me up after a shitty week, after not so nice month, and an less ideal year. This is better then a Jamovian primal scream!
	4:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Folk song Salesman! Haha
	4:26pm Hughie Considine: PS: DJ, you are killin' it.
	4:26pm steveo: this week's show is so good!
	4:26pm Handy Haversack: We walked across the Queensboro into Manhattan on a march last week. I had only ever walked it out of Manhattan during civic emergencies -- 9/11, the 2003 blackout. It was a wildly different experience.
	4:27pm listener james from westwood: @Hughie: I remember those Bowery ads!
	4:27pm PaulRobeson1920: Vietnam eh!? “Kill for Peace” a 1968 tune by The Fugs was written and performed right here in NYC
	4:27pm northguineahills: @Handy: when I lived in Billyburg, I used to walk from Manhattan to home all the time, until, all of the good venues closed down....
	4:27pm michael z: This has been such a brilliant ninety minutes (Sheila said half a show) but this Nancy Sinatra is simply brilliant in its absurdity.
	4:27pm The Oscar: LE TIGRE HELL YES!
	4:28pm allie: from Greenwich to Grenich.
	4:28pm PaulRobeson1920: The peace movement has deep roots here (and everywhere else too)
	4:28pm northguineahills: Kathleen!
	4:28pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday Everyone!
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: @ngh, were you here when they were repairing the trains on the Williamsburg Bridge so there were free buses across it. I went without paying for the subway for three months!
	4:29pm matthew glass: Hi Sheila! My Metrocard is so cool! The Bronx is up and the Battery's down! NYC Forever! Loving the show.
	4:29pm WM: @ Miss G: I'll check out your recommendation. The only other literary reference to JC I know of is Wallace Stevens' Loneliness in Jersey City which begins and ends with the line, "The dear and dachshund are one."
	4:30pm Hughie Considine: @listener James -- I figured that ad lodged in other heads besides mine. Amazing how certain pop cultural absurdities refuse to leave our minds when so much valuable information vanishes into thin air.
	4:30pm listener james from westwood: From a long-ago Usenet signature I saw: New York, New York, a hell of a town The Bronx is up and the Battery's down The mimes are food for the rats underground
	4:30pm northguineahills: @Handy: By 2012, I worked from home, or downtown Brooklyn, so, I almost never even went to Manhattan (maybe the Lincoln Center, or the occasion gallery opening).
	4:30pm quas: anyone know the song that sounded like laurie anderson from about 30 min ago? ended with doesn't anyone have a job there are so many people in the streets
	4:30pm steveo: Handy, i've biked over the east river probably 4000 times, but walked... very few times
	4:31pm Miss G: PaulRobeson1920 do you know the site http://www.nysonglines.com/ ? It's an old one but it's still there. I have used it so many times, to look "where was this cafe? what was that called?" "38 E. 10th Street1: Tuli Kupferberg of The Fugs used to live here."
	4:31pm Handy Haversack: But the best thing about New York City is you and me. (You = all Boom Boomers) steveo, I have paddled across more times than I have walked!
	4:31pm steveo: :)
	4:32pm listener james from westwood: @Hughie, I've been mentally cycling through Tri-State Area local TV ads since hearing the "Lullabye" song earlier. Soon I'm gonna be craving Carvel and a trip to beau-ti-ful Mount Airy Lodge!
	4:32pm Jocelyn: A lot of the residents in my old building who fleed the city were the midwestern girls who loved Sex and The City, supplemented by Mom & Dad every month. The couples with kids moved upstate or to Long Island.
	4:33pm PaulRobeson1920: Oooooh thank you kindly @Miss G 4:31
	4:33pm Miss G: Oh! Typo. Tuli Kupferberg lived at 381 E. 10th Street. My friend lived down the block.
	4:34pm Miss G: listener james did you used to get home from the clubs and watch Mary Tyler Moore? (you're probably younger)
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1920: Tuli Wrote “1001 to Beat the Draft” among other books...Brilliant!
	4:35pm Russt44: Is there anything better?
	4:35pm Jason from Houston: Noooooooo... I missed: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ LUSCIOUS JACKSON ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	4:35pm Jett: Nice Caravelles track! Also nice to hear Billie Holiday, anything by her, hits the spot! You:re still on fire, Sheila.
	4:36pm allie: Hot Dang! I called that one earlier. thanks djsheilab!
	4:36pm Miss G: @Jocelyn, I only saw SATC maybe one time, but it and "the friends," I really blame them for ruining NYC. I feel teary listening to Billie H.
	4:36pm Russt44: Than Billie, I mean
	4:37pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Billie Holiday, Ella, Grace, Cat Power, Sheila’s brilliance what a show
	4:37pm Jett: @Miss G, I came home from the clubs and watched Joe Franklin, his shows were always great for a laugh!
	4:37pm PaulRobeson1920: “1001 ways to beat the draft” 1967 first published!
	4:37pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: ...Peggy Lee
	4:39pm Handy Haversack: Electoral map sure was different in 1962.
	4:39pm Russt44: Thanks for this. Never heard it before. Fab!
	4:39pm PaulRobeson1920: Billie Holiday is featured prominently in the new book “Chasing the Scream” ... What an artist she is!
	4:39pm chresti: Hi Sheila! Hi Billie and Peggy! Hi boom-boomers! Listening in San Gabriel, CA.
	4:40pm northguineahills: @Jocelyn: I know the type. I had a few "friends" from the Midwest that after a dj party would want to was Sex in the City. Why would I want to do under any circumstances (to each, their own).
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: She and my dad were friends in Calif. in the forties, PR1920. When he was drafted for WWII, he gave her his stash of weed to hang onto.
	4:40pm The Oscar: In other news, I just got word that I've received press accreditation to cover the New York Film Festival-- I'll credit this show for bringing me good luck :)
	4:40pm Miss G: @Jett, yes, who knew that Mary and Joe Franklin were the patron saints of the punks. (Uncle Floyd gets his own props elsewhere.)
	4:41pm PaulRobeson1920: She was harassed by the BNDD even on her death bed! Billie’s experiences are valuable and her historical memory too
	4:42pm northguineahills: I'm still a Brooklynite at heart, even though it's been four years. Would love to return...
	4:42pm PaulRobeson1920: That is remarkable! @Handy
	4:42pm Jett: I love Uncle Floyd!.@Miss G That was so important, as was Soupy during our childhood!
	4:42pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Handy wow!
	4:42pm queems: just tuning in- i miss living in the city every day, but i am equally glad to see it in my rearview mirror when i drive away from work
	4:43pm Rich from Red Hook: Thank you again, I could use three hours of NYC songs. And the rents are going down! Thank you 'New Yorkers'
	4:44pm Rich from Red Hook: Off to Riis Sheila you'll be with is the whole way there;
	4:45pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Good afternoon all. Also born & raised in New York. I used to ride the subway from Brooklyn to get to The Dance Theatre Of Harlem on W 152 St. NYC for night classes in ballet. Riding the train late at night was not recommended but it was sooo worth it!
	4:45pm michael z: The NY Times had a great piece about Charlie Parker last week.
	4:45pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Columbia used to have a M-F 8a-9a Charlie Parker show daily for years
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: We're keeping it open for you, queems! My dad was on the scene, PR1920. A waiter, but an artist's heart. Friends with Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Gregory Corso.
	4:46pm Jett: I've been Groovin' to Charlie Parker on KCR also. The Yardbird was a genius. @djsheilab
	4:46pm Rick G: If you want a fun Charlie Parker record, check out Live at the Royal Roost. It was a radio broadcast and contains breaks with DJ Symphony Sid. Such a great snapshot of the era.
	4:46pm Listener Scott: I've been listening to the Charlie Parker fest too. Good article on why WKCR loves Charlie Parker as much as they do (short answer: Phil Schapp) www.newyorker.com...
	4:46pm Rich from Red Hook: They still do! Phil Shapp going 49 years strong.
	4:47pm PaulRobeson1920: A cool cat for sure @Handy
	4:47pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:47pm queems: thanks @handy!! i spend almost as much time walking around queens now as i did then, anyway
	4:48pm Miss G: @Stillwell Coney Islander, what I wouldn't have given to take dance classes at DTH! What a picture you painted.
	4:48pm barfo: I've never seen "Phil Schaap" and "short answer" in the same sentence before!
	4:49pm ami ad: @barfo:hehe,yeah. I hear that.
	4:49pm JoeG.: Ha. Yes, barfo, I listen more for his diatribes, musings, and pontifications than for "Bird anymore!
	4:50pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: @Barfo 100%
	4:50pm WM: WKCR is almost the only other radio station I listen to. They have been playing jazz and new music at least since the late 1960s. They also have Blues, Latin, and Indian music programs among others. Most of what I know about Jazz (such as it is) comes from listening to WKCR for many years. Glad to hear you have discovered Charlie Parker!
	4:50pm queems: @barfo my dad used to time how long it took him before he played the first song
	4:51pm barfo: incredibly knowledgeable guy for sure
	4:51pm ami ad: @Handy:appreciate your dads service.
	4:52pm Dave In Leicester: The Sababa 5 tune is an absolute joy, has been getting a spin on 6 music in the U.K. too
	4:52pm steveo: gospel and country etc. on Sundays are great also on WKCR .. though the programming schedule seems to be disrupted often during the 'rona
	4:53pm Handy Haversack: Ha, exactly, ami. 4F for the war but doing pretty OK with the peace.
	4:53pm Stillwell Coney Islander: @Miss G - Thank you, it was very exciting :-))
	4:54pm allie: Well, gots to bail. bye-bye!
	4:54pm ami ad: Peace is better in the long term.
	4:55pm steveo: also has anyone caught the russian language station on 104.7 in nyc? that's an amazing resource for stuff i've never heard before
	4:56pm Andrew_in_WI: "I dreamt that the bogeyman went down on Mr. Spock." Ridiculous
	4:56pm Handy Haversack: @Andrew: Or is it?
	4:57pm Andrew_in_WI: @Handy I'm pretty sure it is
	4:57pm michael z: Love Sheila’s occasional man... So unexpected...
	4:59pm djsheilab: michael z—Love the melancholy + keys sound!
	4:59pm Miss G: I'm so sad now, Sheila B. played Shonen Knife and I'm desperate to find a streaming (or DVD) copy of the film "Linda Linda Linda" with that great song by The Blue Hearts, and I can't find it. . .
	5:01pm djsheilab: Miss G—Ahhhh! Linda Linda Linda is the sweetest film. I completely forgot about it.
	5:01pm Russt44: I love this record
	5:01pm listener 126464: yeah this is it
	5:03pm Miss G: DJ Sheila B, L now you won't stop thinking about it! It's making me crazy!
	5:03pm AS from MP: WKCR has been broadcasting for many years a great foundation reggae show Saturday mornings 8-12. Vaughn Allstar is selector now, previously Carter Van Pelt who was joining back in again prior to the shutdown
	5:04pm ami ad: @AS from MP:Solid show,solid DJs.
	5:04pm michael z: Is the Central Park in this song the one in NYC? Still more New York in this show...
	5:09pm Jocelyn: NGH, Miss G, They’ve all slowly exited because they couldn’t become independent. But recently more and more have left. They were seeking a lifestyle that doesn’t exist. Their willingness to pay high rent priced out a lot of long term residents.
	5:10pm BH: would a mean Sheila be referred to as "an occasional mean"?
	5:12pm michael z: Here the link to Texas voting for Sheila’s fans there: https://www.votetexas.gov/
	5:12pm Rich from Red Hook: .net still exists??
	5:14pm goes211: Thanxz for your good works Sheila!
	5:15pm ifeelfatnsassy: goodmusic2020.bandcamp.com...
	5:15pm ifeelfatnsassy: There's also an option to get the digital along with a (signed) Shepard Fairey print for $75
	5:16pm Miss G: Thank you Sheila B. for that Bandcamp "Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy" I was just putting together my Bandcamp order.
	5:16pm ifeelfatnsassy: Didn't mean to steal your thunder Sheila! I was already pasting that in when you said you would share it!
	5:17pm djsheilab: Appreciate it, ifeelfatnsassy!
	5:19pm Cooh John: Channeling Joni for sure.
	5:20pm djsheilab: To join the postcards campaign! lifteveryvote.net
	5:24pm PaulRobeson1920: “Historically suffered voter suppression” Such as the Poll tax, grandfather clause, property owning requirements, the threat of naked violence inflicted upon you & your family in broad day light; with no recourse to the law!
	5:24pm PaulRobeson1920: A storied history!
	5:25pm Michael 98145: ( Support OUR Postal SERVICE )
	5:26pm Vanessa Tara: love this ... i'm doing the pony!
	5:27pm Vanessa Tara: the skate! the philly dog!
	5:27pm loveless: I LOVE Helen Shapiro. Such a big encompassing voice.
	5:27pm tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy Sheila and fellow Bs! Sheila - I've been listening to your 2020 premium in the car this week. I love it!
	5:28pm northguineahills: Heather Trost sounds a lot like Trish Keenan (Broadcast)
	5:29pm Miss G: @Michael are you sending a postcard to https://www.postartfordemocracy.com/Postcards-for-Democracy (Mark Mothersbaugh?)
	5:29pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: So glad I set my alarm Thanks Sheila can’t wait for next week. All, be safe
	5:29pm PaulRobeson1920: Unjust social policies created during the Nixon years, accomplish many of the same explicit goals of the Jim Crow system of laws. Most glaringly is loss of ability to vote due to violations of the “1970 Controlled Substance Act” ... The same men who stonewalled the Civil rights bills and Voting rights bills, led the charge to pass unjust public policy in 1970... Look at the states of the old confederacy today, the numbers of people in Jail per capita is deeply immoral and cruel. www.SSDP.ORG
	5:29pm djsheilab: Glad you dig tim from champaign! Totally agreed on the Broadcast comparison, northguineahills.
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: tim, we were listening to that driving around in the country a couple weeks back -- super!
	5:31pm northguineahills: @Jocelyn: Even when I had a good job, and my partner and I didn't have health issues, living deep in Bushwick, my rent was 40% of my income. When I became underemployed, and we lost our health insurance, we had nothing left. And that was before the pandemic.
	5:31pm northguineahills: Combo Chimbita! Nuevo a mi. Que Chido!
	5:31pm tim from champaign (now washington): Good car jams, Handy!
	5:34pm PaulRobeson1920: Here is a statistic closer to home
	5:36pm Jocelyn: NGH, that breaks my heart. So many people could’ve afford it anymore and had to leave. Nothing’s worse than the Sex and the City and Girls crowd. They don’t get what the city and Brooklyn is really about.
	5:36pm PaulRobeson1920: In 2017, every 7 out of 8 people arrested for Cannabis policy violations in NYC are Black.
	5:36pm Jocelyn: Ngh, I hope you come back someday
	5:37pm northguineahills: gracias, abrazos Jocelyn!
	5:39pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: PR1920 the broken windows approach?
	5:39pm PaulRobeson1920: Broken windows Theory*
	5:40pm diciassette: ahhhhhh panic! ❤️❤️❤️
	5:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Theories “reflect their creators world view both as the world is and as the world should be”
	5:41pm PaulRobeson1920: These are complex issues. No doubt
	5:41pm PaulRobeson1920: No easy answers here, but we must be pragmatic and bring these issues to light. Somehow
	5:42pm northguineahills: @Paul: In 2015, I got stopped in frisked in a July 4th rooftop party in Bed-Stuy (my puerto rican friend, thought they were trying to even the stats), someone just handed me a joint, and I put it in my pocket. I was cuffed, and they only took out my wallet for my driver's license. They didn't otherwise search me. 45 minutes later, I was released. I wasn't melanin deficient, the results would had been different.
	5:42pm northguineahills: Julia Holter, also awesome live!
	5:43pm Rick A.: Fair Fight is a great organization. Another one is Vote Forward which involves writing people letters to encourage them to vote. The organization sends you names, addresses, and your print out a template where you write 1-2 sentences, explaining why you vote. It played a part in the voter turnout during the 2018 midterms. It's a great way to have some efficacy and you support the postal service too. I have written forty letters to assorted people in Ohio.
	5:44pm Miss G: The album playing right now is fantastic, and is on the Bandcamp. ;-)
	5:45pm PaulRobeson1920: Grand music fit for a grand old city
	5:46pm deborah: Love this show! Missing NYC and I live so close.
	5:50pm Rob Kopp: I'm afraid I've only been listening with one ear (my wife and me were busy with ordering a room because we are going to move later this year), but I will listen tomorrow again with two ears. Thanks Sheila, good weekend everyone.
	5:51pm Jett: I'll always have Brooklyn/NYC in my blood! I feel so lucky to have been born and raised in the greatest place on Earth. Worts and all, I still love this place. Sheila made me feel.so proud today.
	5:51pm Kelly Jones: I always end up downloading a bunch of songs from Sheila's shows from iTunes.
	5:52pm listener 126464: Thanks Sheila B.
	5:52pm northguineahills: Ivy! Nice kids! Merci, SheilaB! You made me happy!
	5:52pm Michael 98145: We have joined the =Vote Forward= battalion ...
	5:53pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: Kelly Jones! Hope you're doing OK. Great, great show, Sheila. Another gift. Thanks! Glad to have been here with you all. Be well! We're still keeping the city open for the people. Come home when you can.
	5:53pm Jett: Thanks for another precious gift coming from your heart today @djsheilab Stay safe and well, much love to my best buddy Alvy Singer. ❤️❤️❤️
	5:53pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Stay free.
	5:53pm tim from champaign (now washington): I was just thinking there' sure are a lot of bands sounding like 90s indie rock these days. D'oh!

	3:20pm allie: only been to Manhattan myself. but I understand that Brooklyn is the most populated of the five boroughs.
	3:20pm Hughie Considine: Just this week I listened to a fascinating dive into the history of the Cookies via "The Locomotion" on the wonderful podcast "a history of rock music in 500 songs." I highly, highly recommend this enterprise.
	3:21pm Handy Haversack: Satan's Whiskerses mixed -- we'll be sitting outside letting our little slice of NYC hear the show, Sheila!
	3:21pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Sheila and all! Boom boom boom!
	3:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Hola, Señor Haversack!
	3:23pm Russt44: B, Lynn Castle was Phil S girlfriend.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Russt44—Really?! I didn't know that!
	3:25pm Handy Haversack: Der Pumpmeister! Glad you made it!
	3:25pm djsheilab: Last time I played this, I followed it with the Sting original, and was slaughtered. I won't be doing that again :)
	3:26pm Itzall Hear: Hi djsheilab, love this version, so good. Thank you for being here, and you just play whatever you want! No slaughtering!!! Peace.
	3:26pm Hughie Considine: Sting is a divisive figure. That much is true.
	3:27pm dM: LOVE this version of "alien"! i so love for your show!
	3:27pm djsheilab: Hughie Considine: Phil Collins + Sting both!
	3:28pm Franco: Helio Sheila !!! Buon venerdí !
	3:28pm editor_b: I do have a really funny parody by an British transplant to NOLA titled, "An Englishman in New Orleans."
	3:30pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Blossom Dearie!
	3:30pm djsheilab: Hello editor_b, Franco, dM, Itzall Hear, and all of you here with me on the radio n' board!
	3:30pm PaulRobeson1920: Howd’y yall! Warm summer greetings! I love NY dearly, and the people most of all! @Lake Eric - Remeber the 1960’s? Oh boy! The Lower East Side!? NYC birthed many things and strange wonderful tunes are amoung them!
	3:30pm Hughie Considine: She makes me sigh.
	3:31pm Handy Haversack: Kate's wondering Nellie MacKaye doing "Manhattan Avenue" might be upcoming.
	3:31pm Chico: I have a WFMU marathon DJ tape circa 199x that features many of these gorgeous tunes heard today. Odd serendipity i suppose....
	3:31pm Russt44: Now we're talking.
	3:31pm mysilentface: This Blossom Dearie is dreamy...
	3:33pm Jett: Blossom Dearie is so awesome! You are on fire- @djsheilab ❤️
	3:33pm Russt44: I do mean Blossom
	3:33pm Mr. Pumpy: Blossom Dearie...perfect decompression tune after a hectic week. Sublime.
	3:33pm goes211: TGI Sheila and Boom Boom!
	3:34pm listener james from westwood: Chris Cross cover!
	3:34pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and boomers.
	3:34pm Handy Haversack: It'll make you jump jump! No, wait.
	3:34pm PaulRobeson1920: Among* For a moment, I thought thats too many exclamation marks for one comment... but perhaps its not enough! The 1920’s and 30’s and shucks the 1940’s and 50’s Produced some timeless music as well, and of course the roots go back even farther
	3:36pm Handy Haversack: Though I'll say that once when circling LGA for an hour or so under a full moon with this song stuck in my head after a very hard trip, well, it got poignant. Things. Got. Poignant.
	3:36pm steveo: It's pretty much impossible for me to see the moon while I'm in NYC without thinking of this song
	3:37pm dM: OMG Shelia - you are killing it once again!! arthur's theme - lol - love it!
	3:38pm Chico: I found it!!!! It called "Gotham Chorale" Was a premium for Tamar's show
	3:38pm Mr. Pumpy: Poignant...I'll say! What rhymes with poignant?
	3:39pm dreamyandseedy: K I M
	3:39pm allie: I'm guessing sometime coming up will be hearing Billie Holiday, Autumn in New York.
	3:39pm ambit: such a gorgeous set, it's put me in a great mood
	3:40pm PaulRobeson1920: @Handy My dad worked at Laguardia for 30 years and grew up in Williamsburg when nobody wanted to live there. He said all his friends were trying to leave and he would routinely be the only person in McCareen park running. One day he saw a man chase someone out of a bar shooting at him with a pistol and thats when he said “i gotta get outa here”
	3:42pm PaulRobeson1920: My Fathers, grandfather sold their brownstone in 1981 for -Twelve Thousand Dollars
	3:42pm dreamyandseedy: have to say Foxy's B.K. Anthem goes harder but Kim can have this one
	3:42pm PaulRobeson1920: He said never could he have predicted people would want to live there
	3:44pm Handy Haversack: PR1920, I maintain that it should never be named without adding a descriptor: "F**kin' Laguardia!"
	3:44pm P-90: RETHA!
	3:45pm Aharon: hahahaha what a good show
	3:45pm Hughie Considine: When I moved to Alphabet City in spring '86, my grandfather couldn't believe I was so excited to move into the neighborhood he fought like hell to lift his family out of.
	3:46pm Jett: To quote Ralph Kramden "Baby, You're the Greatest." @djsheilab
	3:46pm Michael 98145: OOw Waah
	3:47pm Yes: this show is a constant breath of fresh air.
	3:47pm Michael 98145: Yes, it is
	3:49pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Great selection of New York hits!
	3:49pm PaulRobeson1920: Good music Shelia B!
	3:50pm listener james from westwood: And in the center of it all Is the Milford Plaza!
	3:50pm PaulRobeson1920: Sheila B* Good stuff
	3:50pm Rick A.: Is the whole show about NYC? We haven't ridden the A Train yet.
	3:50pm P-90: All top shelf today
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: The sparrows have arrived to enjoy the tunes! Hughie, when I came to NYC in 1993, there were still three restaurants in the Village that would give me a drink or even a meal because my dad had waited tables there in the fifties and early sixties!
	3:52pm listener james from westwood: Grace Jones albums: Good cover art, or BEST cover art?
	3:52pm Michael 98145: Ooh, Grace!
	3:53pm Hughie Considine: I miss that city, @Handy
	3:53pm djsheilab: listener james from westwood—BEST! She wins all cover artwork and photographs.
	3:53pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:54pm allie: oow waah ta goose Siam - Oscar Madison.
	3:55pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Yes I remember when the Bowery was the Bowery and you did not go to Alphabet City unless you could see the sun, when Hell’s Kitchen was even scarier...
	3:56pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Commercial Real Estate will falter for a bit but cities evolve look at Rome
	3:57pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: GRACE!!!
	3:57pm Michael 98145: ♫ ♥ ♫
	3:59pm Jason from Houston: OH SNAP
	4:00pm Hughie Considine: Glad I was there for Save the Robots, a basement-level after-hours club on Avenue B, which had a sand-covered floor to mimic the beach and was dark as a dungeon so you had no idea what time it was, like a dirty Vegas.
	4:00pm Francesca Smith-Archiapatti:
	4:00pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I will be at Rockaway Beach this weekend to try to catch a wave or two.
	4:00pm Jason from Houston: (ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ ✿ ✿ ✿
	4:01pm PaulRobeson1920: In 1950 NYC was one of two Mega Cities on earth (population exceeding 10 Million) the other being Tokyo, Japan.
	4:01pm dreamyandseedy: had a feeling you would end the set w/this gem swaying
	4:02pm PaulRobeson1920: @Hughie That sounds like a good time
	4:03pm Miss G: turned on the radio, was Shonen Knife doing the Ramones! How did I miss this in 2011?! Thank you Sheila B!
	4:06pm barfo: When I moved to New York in 1843 I was terrified of robots and also would never go to five points.
	4:06pm editor_b: Love your love for the city, Sheila
	4:07pm Rehanna: Yay fellow Irooni!!!
	4:08pm Rick A.: Great reference to Brownies, Sheila, from 1992 to 1999, I lived three blocks up from that great venue. I saw many great bands there.
	4:08pm ZeeBee: Hey friends!!! Hi Sheila! I’m loving the show, thank you so much!!! Sending love to all
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: A fly just landed in my Satan's Whiskers! 2012 end of days!!
	4:12pm allie: I don't know where all those people are moving to, but it can't be Jersey. because people are bailing out of Jersey as well.
	4:13pm Russt44: Thank you for sticking up for excellent, talented songwriters!
	4:13pm PaulRobeson1920: @barfo NYC in the 1840s up through the 1930s... “The Night Soil men” criss crossed the city every single night. You cannot see the smell in the Photographs of these hard working professionals! Check em out, o my! The “Night Soil” Profession has an interesting history... and without them there is no urban living!
	4:13pm PaulRobeson1920: Staying!
	4:14pm Miss G: Maybe a bunch of (we used to call them yuppies) can leave NYC so some of us can move back!
	4:14pm PaulRobeson1920: 65,000 Vacant apartments in the city vs 20,000 at this time last year
	4:15pm P-90: This arrangement is inspired
	4:15pm Handy Haversack: Where would we go? I can't even imagine driving everywhere I need to go. Nightmare. Miss G, from your lips to the universe's ear! That's my fondest hope. It would be nice to live in a neighborhood again instead of a yuppie playground.
	4:16pm listener james from westwood: Aw, I remember going to coffee shops.
	4:17pm WM: Well spoken, Miss G! I live in Jersey City (and I'm glad to be here) but I consider myself to part of the NYC diaspora.
	4:18pm ?: Thank you Sheila B! Lifelong New Yorker. Love your show. So lame that everyone is leaving.
	4:18pm Miss G: @PaulRobeson1920, I have a book that you might love: "As You Pass By" by Dunshee (Hastings House) "Old Manhattan Through the Fire Laddies' Eyes." There are some copies out there that aren't too dear. WM ha, I was pushed from Manhattan to Hoboken to JC (then beyond.)
	4:18pm Russt44: Suzanne never gets old
	4:18pm PaulRobeson1920: I’m going to look that up right now @MissG
	4:19pm The Oscar: Tuned in halfway through the last set, but needless to say this is an amazing show!
	4:19pm Handy Haversack: My pant legs just got a LOT wider!
	4:20pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	4:22pm Miss G: @WM, in a new sci-fi book N.K. Jemisin "The City We Became," (about NYC in a way) Jersey City plays an important part, can't say due to spoilers.
	4:23pm P-90: Gotta love anyone called The Delrons
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: Seriously, though, Sheila, things have been so hard sometimes lately. Negotiating NYC in these times -- led by murderous idiots, surrounded by capital's playland -- can be hard. It is a GIFT of you to remind us why we love it. To let us have the time and space and sounds to remember that being here can be a raw, ripping joy. And that it doesn't have to be nostalgia! We're here now! We're getting out and shouting to say "THIS is what New York looks like! Like the people!" It's still our home. Love it and shout it. Thanks, Sheila. Another gift.
	4:23pm Rick A.: New York has been through many worse times than this. If you have seen Ric Burns' five part New York: A Documentary History, you know the many difficult times this city has experienced from the draft riots in the 1860s to the Great Depression to the 1970s fiscal crisis. It continues to endure as a haven for those of us that don't fit in elsewhere. Maybe this will chase out the posers who were here just for the consumer aspects of the city.
	4:24pm The Oscar: One of my favorite New York memories is getting lost on the subway late at night on a college trip, and my friends and I getting sidetracked looking for Ramones landmarks on the map.
	4:24pm Hughie Considine: The Bowery pays you 6 percent when commercial banks in New York simply do not.
	4:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Ha Oscar thats great
	4:25pm listener james from westwood: @Rick A: Plus three big blackouts!
	4:25pm northguineahills: Thanks, Sheila, for the NYC nostalgia, it cheers me up after a shitty week, after not so nice month, and an less ideal year. This is better then a Jamovian primal scream!
	4:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Folk song Salesman! Haha
	4:26pm Hughie Considine: PS: DJ, you are killin' it.
	4:26pm steveo: this week's show is so good!
	4:26pm Handy Haversack: We walked across the Queensboro into Manhattan on a march last week. I had only ever walked it out of Manhattan during civic emergencies -- 9/11, the 2003 blackout. It was a wildly different experience.
	4:27pm listener james from westwood: @Hughie: I remember those Bowery ads!
	4:27pm PaulRobeson1920: Vietnam eh!? “Kill for Peace” a 1968 tune by The Fugs was written and performed right here in NYC
	4:27pm northguineahills: @Handy: when I lived in Billyburg, I used to walk from Manhattan to home all the time, until, all of the good venues closed down....
	4:27pm michael z: This has been such a brilliant ninety minutes (Sheila said half a show) but this Nancy Sinatra is simply brilliant in its absurdity.
	4:27pm The Oscar: LE TIGRE HELL YES!
	4:28pm allie: from Greenwich to Grenich.
	4:28pm PaulRobeson1920: The peace movement has deep roots here (and everywhere else too)
	4:28pm northguineahills: Kathleen!
	4:28pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday Everyone!
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: @ngh, were you here when they were repairing the trains on the Williamsburg Bridge so there were free buses across it. I went without paying for the subway for three months!
	4:29pm matthew glass: Hi Sheila! My Metrocard is so cool! The Bronx is up and the Battery's down! NYC Forever! Loving the show.
	4:29pm WM: @ Miss G: I'll check out your recommendation. The only other literary reference to JC I know of is Wallace Stevens' Loneliness in Jersey City which begins and ends with the line, "The dear and dachshund are one."
	4:30pm Hughie Considine: @listener James -- I figured that ad lodged in other heads besides mine. Amazing how certain pop cultural absurdities refuse to leave our minds when so much valuable information vanishes into thin air.
	4:30pm listener james from westwood: From a long-ago Usenet signature I saw: New York, New York, a hell of a town The Bronx is up and the Battery's down The mimes are food for the rats underground
	4:30pm northguineahills: @Handy: By 2012, I worked from home, or downtown Brooklyn, so, I almost never even went to Manhattan (maybe the Lincoln Center, or the occasion gallery opening).
	4:30pm quas: anyone know the song that sounded like laurie anderson from about 30 min ago? ended with doesn't anyone have a job there are so many people in the streets
	4:30pm steveo: Handy, i've biked over the east river probably 4000 times, but walked... very few times
	4:31pm Miss G: PaulRobeson1920 do you know the site http://www.nysonglines.com/ ? It's an old one but it's still there. I have used it so many times, to look "where was this cafe? what was that called?" "38 E. 10th Street1: Tuli Kupferberg of The Fugs used to live here."
	4:31pm Handy Haversack: But the best thing about New York City is you and me. (You = all Boom Boomers) steveo, I have paddled across more times than I have walked!
	4:31pm steveo: :)
	4:32pm listener james from westwood: @Hughie, I've been mentally cycling through Tri-State Area local TV ads since hearing the "Lullabye" song earlier. Soon I'm gonna be craving Carvel and a trip to beau-ti-ful Mount Airy Lodge!
	4:32pm Jocelyn: A lot of the residents in my old building who fleed the city were the midwestern girls who loved Sex and The City, supplemented by Mom & Dad every month. The couples with kids moved upstate or to Long Island.
	4:33pm PaulRobeson1920: Oooooh thank you kindly @Miss G 4:31
	4:33pm Miss G: Oh! Typo. Tuli Kupferberg lived at 381 E. 10th Street. My friend lived down the block.
	4:34pm Miss G: listener james did you used to get home from the clubs and watch Mary Tyler Moore? (you're probably younger)
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1920: Tuli Wrote “1001 to Beat the Draft” among other books...Brilliant!
	4:35pm Russt44: Is there anything better?
	4:35pm Jason from Houston: Noooooooo... I missed: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ LUSCIOUS JACKSON ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	4:35pm Jett: Nice Caravelles track! Also nice to hear Billie Holiday, anything by her, hits the spot! You:re still on fire, Sheila.
	4:36pm allie: Hot Dang! I called that one earlier. thanks djsheilab!
	4:36pm Miss G: @Jocelyn, I only saw SATC maybe one time, but it and "the friends," I really blame them for ruining NYC. I feel teary listening to Billie H.
	4:36pm Russt44: Than Billie, I mean
	4:37pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Billie Holiday, Ella, Grace, Cat Power, Sheila’s brilliance what a show
	4:37pm Jett: @Miss G, I came home from the clubs and watched Joe Franklin, his shows were always great for a laugh!
	4:37pm PaulRobeson1920: “1001 ways to beat the draft” 1967 first published!
	4:37pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: ...Peggy Lee
	4:39pm Handy Haversack: Electoral map sure was different in 1962.
	4:39pm Russt44: Thanks for this. Never heard it before. Fab!
	4:39pm PaulRobeson1920: Billie Holiday is featured prominently in the new book “Chasing the Scream” ... What an artist she is!
	4:39pm chresti: Hi Sheila! Hi Billie and Peggy! Hi boom-boomers! Listening in San Gabriel, CA.
	4:40pm northguineahills: @Jocelyn: I know the type. I had a few "friends" from the Midwest that after a dj party would want to was Sex in the City. Why would I want to do under any circumstances (to each, their own).
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: She and my dad were friends in Calif. in the forties, PR1920. When he was drafted for WWII, he gave her his stash of weed to hang onto.
	4:40pm The Oscar: In other news, I just got word that I've received press accreditation to cover the New York Film Festival-- I'll credit this show for bringing me good luck :)
	4:40pm Miss G: @Jett, yes, who knew that Mary and Joe Franklin were the patron saints of the punks. (Uncle Floyd gets his own props elsewhere.)
	4:41pm PaulRobeson1920: She was harassed by the BNDD even on her death bed! Billie’s experiences are valuable and her historical memory too
	4:42pm northguineahills: I'm still a Brooklynite at heart, even though it's been four years. Would love to return...
	4:42pm PaulRobeson1920: That is remarkable! @Handy
	4:42pm Jett: I love Uncle Floyd!.@Miss G That was so important, as was Soupy during our childhood!
	4:42pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Handy wow!
	4:42pm queems: just tuning in- i miss living in the city every day, but i am equally glad to see it in my rearview mirror when i drive away from work
	4:43pm Rich from Red Hook: Thank you again, I could use three hours of NYC songs. And the rents are going down! Thank you 'New Yorkers'
	4:44pm Rich from Red Hook: Off to Riis Sheila you'll be with is the whole way there;
	4:45pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Good afternoon all. Also born & raised in New York. I used to ride the subway from Brooklyn to get to The Dance Theatre Of Harlem on W 152 St. NYC for night classes in ballet. Riding the train late at night was not recommended but it was sooo worth it!
	4:45pm michael z: The NY Times had a great piece about Charlie Parker last week.
	4:45pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Columbia used to have a M-F 8a-9a Charlie Parker show daily for years
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: We're keeping it open for you, queems! My dad was on the scene, PR1920. A waiter, but an artist's heart. Friends with Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Gregory Corso.
	4:46pm Jett: I've been Groovin' to Charlie Parker on KCR also. The Yardbird was a genius. @djsheilab
	4:46pm Rick G: If you want a fun Charlie Parker record, check out Live at the Royal Roost. It was a radio broadcast and contains breaks with DJ Symphony Sid. Such a great snapshot of the era.
	4:46pm Listener Scott: I've been listening to the Charlie Parker fest too. Good article on why WKCR loves Charlie Parker as much as they do (short answer: Phil Schapp) www.newyorker.com...
	4:46pm Rich from Red Hook: They still do! Phil Shapp going 49 years strong.
	4:47pm PaulRobeson1920: A cool cat for sure @Handy
	4:47pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:47pm queems: thanks @handy!! i spend almost as much time walking around queens now as i did then, anyway
	4:48pm Miss G: @Stillwell Coney Islander, what I wouldn't have given to take dance classes at DTH! What a picture you painted.
	4:48pm barfo: I've never seen "Phil Schaap" and "short answer" in the same sentence before!
	4:49pm ami ad: @barfo:hehe,yeah. I hear that.
	4:49pm JoeG.: Ha. Yes, barfo, I listen more for his diatribes, musings, and pontifications than for "Bird anymore!
	4:50pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: @Barfo 100%
	4:50pm WM: WKCR is almost the only other radio station I listen to. They have been playing jazz and new music at least since the late 1960s. They also have Blues, Latin, and Indian music programs among others. Most of what I know about Jazz (such as it is) comes from listening to WKCR for many years. Glad to hear you have discovered Charlie Parker!
	4:50pm queems: @barfo my dad used to time how long it took him before he played the first song
	4:51pm barfo: incredibly knowledgeable guy for sure
	4:51pm ami ad: @Handy:appreciate your dads service.
	4:52pm Dave In Leicester: The Sababa 5 tune is an absolute joy, has been getting a spin on 6 music in the U.K. too
	4:52pm steveo: gospel and country etc. on Sundays are great also on WKCR .. though the programming schedule seems to be disrupted often during the 'rona
	4:53pm Handy Haversack: Ha, exactly, ami. 4F for the war but doing pretty OK with the peace.
	4:53pm Stillwell Coney Islander: @Miss G - Thank you, it was very exciting :-))
	4:54pm allie: Well, gots to bail. bye-bye!
	4:54pm ami ad: Peace is better in the long term.
	4:55pm steveo: also has anyone caught the russian language station on 104.7 in nyc? that's an amazing resource for stuff i've never heard before
	4:56pm Andrew_in_WI: "I dreamt that the bogeyman went down on Mr. Spock." Ridiculous
	4:56pm Handy Haversack: @Andrew: Or is it?
	4:57pm Andrew_in_WI: @Handy I'm pretty sure it is
	4:57pm michael z: Love Sheila’s occasional man... So unexpected...
	4:59pm djsheilab: michael z—Love the melancholy + keys sound!
	4:59pm Miss G: I'm so sad now, Sheila B. played Shonen Knife and I'm desperate to find a streaming (or DVD) copy of the film "Linda Linda Linda" with that great song by The Blue Hearts, and I can't find it. . .
	5:01pm djsheilab: Miss G—Ahhhh! Linda Linda Linda is the sweetest film. I completely forgot about it.
	5:01pm Russt44: I love this record
	5:01pm listener 126464: yeah this is it
	5:03pm Miss G: DJ Sheila B, L now you won't stop thinking about it! It's making me crazy!
	5:03pm AS from MP: WKCR has been broadcasting for many years a great foundation reggae show Saturday mornings 8-12. Vaughn Allstar is selector now, previously Carter Van Pelt who was joining back in again prior to the shutdown
	5:04pm ami ad: @AS from MP:Solid show,solid DJs.
	5:04pm michael z: Is the Central Park in this song the one in NYC? Still more New York in this show...
	5:09pm Jocelyn: NGH, Miss G, They’ve all slowly exited because they couldn’t become independent. But recently more and more have left. They were seeking a lifestyle that doesn’t exist. Their willingness to pay high rent priced out a lot of long term residents.
	5:10pm BH: would a mean Sheila be referred to as "an occasional mean"?
	5:12pm michael z: Here the link to Texas voting for Sheila’s fans there: https://www.votetexas.gov/
	5:12pm Rich from Red Hook: .net still exists??
	5:14pm goes211: Thanxz for your good works Sheila!
	5:15pm ifeelfatnsassy: goodmusic2020.bandcamp.com...
	5:15pm ifeelfatnsassy: There's also an option to get the digital along with a (signed) Shepard Fairey print for $75
	5:16pm Miss G: Thank you Sheila B. for that Bandcamp "Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy" I was just putting together my Bandcamp order.
	5:16pm ifeelfatnsassy: Didn't mean to steal your thunder Sheila! I was already pasting that in when you said you would share it!
	5:17pm djsheilab: Appreciate it, ifeelfatnsassy!
	5:19pm Cooh John: Channeling Joni for sure.
	5:20pm djsheilab: To join the postcards campaign! lifteveryvote.net
	5:24pm PaulRobeson1920: “Historically suffered voter suppression” Such as the Poll tax, grandfather clause, property owning requirements, the threat of naked violence inflicted upon you & your family in broad day light; with no recourse to the law!
	5:24pm PaulRobeson1920: A storied history!
	5:25pm Michael 98145: ( Support OUR Postal SERVICE )
	5:26pm Vanessa Tara: love this ... i'm doing the pony!
	5:27pm Vanessa Tara: the skate! the philly dog!
	5:27pm loveless: I LOVE Helen Shapiro. Such a big encompassing voice.
	5:27pm tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy Sheila and fellow Bs! Sheila - I've been listening to your 2020 premium in the car this week. I love it!
	5:28pm northguineahills: Heather Trost sounds a lot like Trish Keenan (Broadcast)
	5:29pm Miss G: @Michael are you sending a postcard to https://www.postartfordemocracy.com/Postcards-for-Democracy (Mark Mothersbaugh?)
	5:29pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: So glad I set my alarm Thanks Sheila can’t wait for next week. All, be safe
	5:29pm PaulRobeson1920: Unjust social policies created during the Nixon years, accomplish many of the same explicit goals of the Jim Crow system of laws. Most glaringly is loss of ability to vote due to violations of the “1970 Controlled Substance Act” ... The same men who stonewalled the Civil rights bills and Voting rights bills, led the charge to pass unjust public policy in 1970... Look at the states of the old confederacy today, the numbers of people in Jail per capita is deeply immoral and cruel. www.SSDP.ORG
	5:29pm djsheilab: Glad you dig tim from champaign! Totally agreed on the Broadcast comparison, northguineahills.
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: tim, we were listening to that driving around in the country a couple weeks back -- super!
	5:31pm northguineahills: @Jocelyn: Even when I had a good job, and my partner and I didn't have health issues, living deep in Bushwick, my rent was 40% of my income. When I became underemployed, and we lost our health insurance, we had nothing left. And that was before the pandemic.
	5:31pm northguineahills: Combo Chimbita! Nuevo a mi. Que Chido!
	5:31pm tim from champaign (now washington): Good car jams, Handy!
	5:34pm PaulRobeson1920: Here is a statistic closer to home
	5:36pm Jocelyn: NGH, that breaks my heart. So many people could’ve afford it anymore and had to leave. Nothing’s worse than the Sex and the City and Girls crowd. They don’t get what the city and Brooklyn is really about.
	5:36pm PaulRobeson1920: In 2017, every 7 out of 8 people arrested for Cannabis policy violations in NYC are Black.
	5:36pm Jocelyn: Ngh, I hope you come back someday
	5:37pm northguineahills: gracias, abrazos Jocelyn!
	5:39pm Eric from Lake Hiawatha: PR1920 the broken windows approach?
	5:39pm PaulRobeson1920: Broken windows Theory*
	5:40pm diciassette: ahhhhhh panic! ❤️❤️❤️
	5:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Theories “reflect their creators world view both as the world is and as the world should be”
	5:41pm PaulRobeson1920: These are complex issues. No doubt
	5:41pm PaulRobeson1920: No easy answers here, but we must be pragmatic and bring these issues to light. Somehow
	5:42pm northguineahills: @Paul: In 2015, I got stopped in frisked in a July 4th rooftop party in Bed-Stuy (my puerto rican friend, thought they were trying to even the stats), someone just handed me a joint, and I put it in my pocket. I was cuffed, and they only took out my wallet for my driver's license. They didn't otherwise search me. 45 minutes later, I was released. I wasn't melanin deficient, the results would had been different.
	5:42pm northguineahills: Julia Holter, also awesome live!
	5:43pm Rick A.: Fair Fight is a great organization. Another one is Vote Forward which involves writing people letters to encourage them to vote. The organization sends you names, addresses, and your print out a template where you write 1-2 sentences, explaining why you vote. It played a part in the voter turnout during the 2018 midterms. It's a great way to have some efficacy and you support the postal service too. I have written forty letters to assorted people in Ohio.
	5:44pm Miss G: The album playing right now is fantastic, and is on the Bandcamp. ;-)
