	♥ 3:29pm Michael 98145: ( i will -never- learn Chinese )
	♥ 3:30pm Passaic River Blues: It was kind of like a SBB microcosm of SBB in range of genre, time period, geography, and mood.
	♥ 3:31pm Handy Haversack: Well, in a few minutes we're heading out for the Glistener Glathering in Manhattan! We'll be tuning in from there. Sounding great, Sheila B!

	♥ 3:34pm listener james from westwood: Really happy Amanda is returning and to hear Sonika again—that latter show was quite a trip.
	3:35pm Rob Kopp: I bet you spell that CAThleen
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Giving minutes of your own Program to - let everyone know more about the new Schedule - & spotlight the new Programs & DJs ...very kewl.
	3:37pm Heidella: Happy to be here!! Sheila are you selling SBB swag or did I dream that up? :)
	♥ 3:38pm Brian D: Awww, thanks for the mention Sheila B. Honored and humbled to be on the schedule... and nervous as heck.
	3:39pm djsheilab: Hey Editor B, Joey, + craig! Hey Heidella—Nope, not selling any SBB swag.
	3:39pm djsheilab: Brian D—I know what you mean about the nerves. I get VERY nervous before every show and it's been 6 years!
	3:40pm Heidella: A girl can dream!
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They say Nerves mean you Care - & that's Good. +
	♥ 3:42pm Michael 98145: "Are you going to let the obstacles in your life be stumbling blocks or stepping stones? Choose the positive. You are the master of your attitude." Bruce Lee
	3:43pm Joey: I actually get very nervous after i do one of our movie shows..i guess it's the relief it's over and nothing went wrong!!
	3:43pm Rob Kopp: @Michael: love that
	3:44pm djsheilab: Michael 98145—So much wisdom in such a young man.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Revolution Rabbit Nov63 + Joey—I see nerves as a sign of caring as well :)
	♥ 3:47pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Sheila and everybody!
	♥ 3:48pm Michael 98145: One of my favorites ... "Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." Bruce Lee
	3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BruceLee seemed to perceive things as Elements...
	3:50pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: I jumped in at the just the right moment for such a pleasant tune on this rainy Friday!
	♥ 3:50pm Passaic River Blues: {Wife in other room}: Is this a girl group love song to Jesus Baby?
	3:50pm Joey: Lot's of wonderful, caring friends here!!
	3:51pm djsheilab: I've been listening to the Bruce Lee podcast, hosted by his daughter Shannon, and I feel like I'm getting such a rich, insightful education.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Hey tim from champaign + EarlyMorningInSeoul!
	♥ 3:54pm HyperDose: @Handy @3:03 Ooops, just saw this now. I was planning on it, but I'm pooped from the doctor visits. Hadn't been in a decade and had to get some routine tests in preparation for this summer. Finally off my feet since I moved. Parents are coming up tomorrow and bringing rugs with them, lots to do. Thank you and LCBD so much for the invite, maybe next time! <3
	3:55pm Mike tp: what a beautiful groove.SHEILA B
	3:56pm Robm: Shelia what is the podcast from bruce lees daughter called ?
	3:57pm djsheilab: Robm—Here's a link: podcasts.apple.com...
	♥ 3:57pm Monica: meshell did such a lovely job on this album:)
	3:57pm djsheilab: Thanks Mike tp!
	3:58pm djsheilab: Monica—So true. Not one bad cover!
	3:58pm Sylvie: Merci beaucoup for WFMU. I just moved to Athens, Georgia from The Bay Area and was shocked to find that they don't have good radio here. HAPPILY my son turned me onto WFMU!!!!!! Loving DJ SheilaB :)))))))
	3:59pm Robm: @Shelia thanks love how the listmind helps out
	3:59pm djsheilab: Love to you n' your son, Sylvie! Glad you could bring WFMU with you to the Bay Area.
	4:00pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This Denya is a nice chill track 🧊
	4:01pm Jocelyn M.: Love, love, love this
	♥ 4:02pm Michael 98145: @Sylvie, loved seeing the redbuds blooming in Athens some years back ...
	4:03pm -o-l-i-v-i-e-r-: Found the Denyah track on Deezer, cool: www.deezer.com...
	4:05pm Jocelyn: Living in the moment!
	4:06pm Editor B: I went off social media in spring 2019. Dipped my toe back in fall 2020 to see if I could promote some grassroots organizing... but to little avail. So I think I'm off again.
	4:06pm BH: on the Facebook front.. I had someone I graduated HS with (17 years ago) message me and then by the 4th message hint that he needs money. Which was messaged at like 1am. But I guess it's not a MLM
	♥ 4:06pm Michael 98145: FOMO is BS
	♥ 4:07pm artbrau: So, Sheila, do you think your radio show makes it easier to avoid social media? or it is a substitute in some way?
	4:07pm Editor B: May I recommend the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport? He is a computer scientist who is skeptical of social media.
	♥ 4:08pm Michael 98145: we never expected the Internet to become a pathway for vampires
	4:08pm dork: Blaa blaa blaa Shut up! you're the most annoying
	4:08pm -o-l-i-v-i-e-r-: Nice, new music from you Sheila, I'm looking forward to it :)
	4:09pm craig: Sheila, you an Asa fan?
	♥ 4:09pm Passaic River Blues: I've been off social media for about three and half years, and all the missing-out aspects you identify will gradually pass. However, I do not have an answer for the business and promotion aspects. That is a quandary.
	4:09pm Jocelyn: I hate that my friends are so brainwashed and glued and instead of answering or showing me something they refer me to a post ugh
	4:09pm SoSylvie: @djsheilab Bravo on your social media detox! I've never owned a cell phone (I obviously do use a computer). Not having a cell phone has always felt rewarding -- never lacking.
	4:09pm djsheilab: Thanks for the tip, Editor B!
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminds me of talking about AA. It can perplex the moderate drinker. But there's no doubt the Tech Monopolies are duplicitous towards us. I really got nothing else to connect me with - everything. But I'm not fooled by these Corporate SuperRich TechLords.
	4:10pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: oh interesting Nabi (나비) means butterfly in Korean. An interesting thing I remember is whenever there were stray cats, people would call them Nabi. I guess kind of like saying "here kitty"
	4:10pm Rob Kopp: Ask someone else for the business and promotion aspects?
	4:11pm djsheilab: artbrau—Absolutely. I think it would be much harder for me to have gotten off if I didn't have WFMU. This is my way of connecting with the world.
	4:11pm Prof. Fat Fingers: If enough of us drop exploitative "social" media from our lives, we will no longer be the ones left out. You are totally "in" with WFMU listeners, of course.
	♥ 4:11pm dreamyandseedy: i had been wondering how your social media sobriety was going, thank you for the update and glad to hear you have no regrets!
	♥ 4:12pm tim from champaign (now washington): Congratulations on 8 months, Sheila. Keep coming back - haha ;).
	4:12pm Robm: @Sosilvia i was very reluctant to have a smartphone, but i got talked into it for a lot of reasons, my niece and nephews most of all, so yeah I know where your coming from
	4:12pm djsheilab: Prof. Fat Fingers—That's what I'm hoping for!
	♥ 4:13pm listener james from westwood: Tina!!
	♥ 4:13pm Michael 98145: ah
	♥ 4:15pm dreamyandseedy: finally saw the documentary! so good
	4:15pm djsheilab: A reminder to watch the Tina Turner doc if you haven't seen yet. It's really something!
	4:15pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Yessss!!!
	♥ 4:15pm listener james from westwood: And I was today years old when I learned of the Knopfler connection!! :O
	4:15pm SoSylvie: @Robm I didn't think that cell phones would catch on; I thought that there were too many rebels and independent thinkers in the world.I was way off on that one!
	♥ 4:15pm Aharon: I crack up imagining Mark Knopfler singing this.
	4:16pm Jocelyn M.: Knopfler wrote this?! hilarious
	♥ 4:16pm Monica: heard miss gou on a new release list. lovely. lotta 80s sade and janet vibes floating around these days:) NOT a complaint.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh ! - makes sense next to Sultans of Swing or Money For Nothin' or something...
	4:17pm Joey: SoSylvie, i thought the very same thing!
	♥ 4:17pm Zinn The Mood: “I’m an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside." George Carlin I haven’t been on FarceBook literally for years. Probably the top thing I resent most about its insidiousness is that has rendered anyone who chooses to not engage as persona non grata, as if we don’t exist. I could go on and on and on about how demonically exploitative and damaging it has been. But I mainly wanted you to hear the Carlin quote. Because I think many of us here probably feel similarly.
	♥ 4:17pm tim from champaign (now washington): Other than streaming WFMU and checking out some music related web-sites, I have found that the noise and jibber jabber of the internet really gets me down. I have found that most of the information that is presented to me is completely irreleveant to my life. At the end of last year I made the decision to stop looking at news sites - Washington Post, NYT and The Guardian. I now pick up a print newspaper 3-4 times a week to stay current. I really feel so much better.
	4:18pm BH: Wikipedia says: 'Mark Knopfler has said the song was ruined due to "them drafting in Jeff Beck to play the world's second ugliest guitar solo"' At the risk of sharing this information with people who rank ugly guitar solos
	♥ 4:18pm RomanDogBird: hi sheila, i got your marathon shirt in the mail this week. feeling far more fashionable than usual. good to hear how you're doing staying off of social media.
	4:18pm Robm: @Sosilvie i just use my phone to get great stations like WFMU or to get international broadcasting like the BBC for breaking news, have given up on cable news
	4:19pm djsheilab: Of course we can count on Carlin to nail it. Thanks for sharing, Zinn The Mood!
	♥ 4:19pm Michael 98145: Always love hearing Gal Costa
	4:20pm Prof. Fat Fingers: Maybe we can think of it this way--this is our chance to create a counter-cultural system of social communication and support beneath the radar of corporate Big Social Media. Are not this show and WFMU generally part of that -- and have been for many years?
	4:21pm Joey: I almost never answer my phone..i never did. It's a big bother sometimes, you know, a phone becoming more important than actually seeing people in real life. Thank goodness i have friends that feel the same.
	♥ 4:22pm bigkafka: When the horns dropped on this Gal Costa track!
	4:23pm djsheilab: tim from champaign (now washington)—Ugh....I check the Washington Post, NYT and The Guardian repeatedly. Good on you for getting off them!
	♥ 4:23pm Asheville Jon: wow. holy cow. thank you all (i guess?) for the Private Dancer / Knopfler connection. had no idea, and I've been a Dire Straits fan since the beginning!
	4:23pm SoSylvie: YES! I love this version of Interlude, second to Morrissey and Siouxsie...
	4:24pm djsheilab: Asheville Jon—So unexpected, right?!!
	4:24pm headcleaner: Meet the artist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timi_Yuro#/media/File:Timi_Yuro.png
	4:24pm Joey: Linda Lewis!! She was a screaming fan in Hard Day's Night!!
	♥ 4:24pm Asheville Jon: scarily so Sheila! and the line up for the recording is basically mid 1980's DS without Mark. bizarro world!
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Set is going in a rich direction indeed.
	4:25pm Robm: @Djsheliab i recommend the BBC sounds app they have other stuff on there besides the world service
	♥ 4:25pm listener james from westwood: Love that Ace comp cover and title juxtaposition!
	4:26pm SoSylvie: No news is good news :)
	4:26pm Bruce Mangosteen: Can you play that Thai record you were talking about?? I am a Thai record fanatic. Thank you :)
	4:26pm djsheilab: SoSylvie—Too true.
	4:27pm djsheilab: Bruce Mangosteen—Will bring it in soon.
	4:27pm That Goddam Todd: On my way out on a hot date with my beloved. Your show has been the soundtrack while we got all gussied up funk style. Thanks!!!
	4:27pm Robm: @asoSylvie i do like to keep up with current events,
	4:28pm sugarwolf: My friends live all over the world so the internet and social media is one of the ways to stay in touch with them. It has also been a way for me to find out about things going on locally. I only joined IG a few years ago and because of it I met a lot more local people. I just think there is a lot more nuance than the social media bad IRL good binary that is being set up here.
	4:28pm djsheilab: That Goddam Todd—Well isn't that the best comment. Enjoy your hot date!
	4:29pm mmeghan: i love this song
	4:29pm headcleaner: @Sylvie - radio in the "wilds" of the US, outside of a few major cities, is a rude surprise indeed. Très, très triste
	♥ 4:29pm Vanessa Tara: sounds like susan christie
	4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We need to turn everything around to the People. I don't know how, of course. But imagine the potential of Tech now if individuals had control of their own data - & services. (In a Society in which you can't even choose your own cable TV channels...) Whether Tech is inherently Toxic for humans & human society is another question - & a significant one.
	4:30pm djsheilab: sugarwolf—That's exactly why I find it hard to be off. Not the internet, just social media. I'm now cut off from most people I know around the world, and it's odd.
	♥ 4:30pm βrian: No social media in our household. I might consider some kind of non-corporate instance, though.
	4:31pm SoSylvie: @headcleaner I didn't expect it in Athens, though -- a town known for music?! We had great college radio in Santa Cruz.
	4:31pm djsheilab: I love this song.
	♥ 4:32pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Sheila - re: news sites. I used to check them multiple times a day. The rat race feeling of needing to keep up was draining. I (re)discovered during the lock down last year that I could start and article in a print paper, put it down if I needed to, come back to it later and it would still be relevant - haha!
	4:32pm SoSylvie: How can anyone be cut-off when there's email, telephones and good old letter writing?
	♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145: Guess i do, too. It seems to have a golden star. 😊
	4:33pm J2bryson: Isn’t this social media? I’m totally sympathetic with going cold turkey off an addiction, but you can also budget your way out of a time deficit. Anyway, the music is awesome so I’m not complaining.
	♥ 4:34pm βrian: I've lost the habit of letter writing, but I do like e-mail. Pure text. No formatting. Just words.
	♥ 4:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Liraz is my current favorite SBB favorite!
	4:34pm Joey: I send vintage postcards alot..and long distance calls. Emails too.
	4:35pm SoSylvie: Yay! @Joey :)
	♥ 4:36pm βrian: @Joey: Have you tried putting faux vintage postmarks on them and dropping them in the recipients' letter box? Might be kind of a fun trick to receive a letter seemingly sent mamy years before.
	4:36pm Joey: Thanks, Sylvie! Sometimes it takes forever to receive, but who cares!!
	♥ 4:36pm Michael 98145: I love getting and sending actual mail -- hoping it supports our USPS
	4:37pm BH: yeah, a guy singing Private Dancer would take the song in a few different directions?
	4:37pm Joey: That's fantastic Brian!! Might try that!
	4:38pm SoSylvie: Receiving a postcard or letter is like holding an album sleeve in your hands as opposed to...a phone?
	♥ 4:39pm Jason from Houston: I was doing really good sending mail/drawings but I am understanding that it just goes in waves. And that's okay.
	♥ 4:40pm dreamyandseedy: AMBER comin thru once again!! that album better be hot ;)
	♥ 4:40pm βrian: Wha? Auto-tune? I'll be back later.
	♥ 4:41pm dreamyandseedy: my favorite part of the Tina doc was at the end when she’s singing with the red-headed fan and later you see him just sobbing
	4:41pm mmeghan: love amber mark so much!!
	♥ 4:41pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Hi Sheila B! I've been enjoying your show since I discovered it a couple years ago, but I never managed to learn the name of your opening theme song (which I "sing" along to every week). Oshiete kuremasen ka?
	4:42pm Bimbus Bambus: Love it when you alienate your listeners, Sheila! This is fantastic.
	♥ 4:42pm Gurldoggie: Good afternoon folks. Just tuning in. Better late than never!
	4:43pm Sean: There was some other mark knophler song that he got some static for where he wrote from the perspective of a gay man. Pretty sure he completely missed the mark on that one and it comes off completely homophobic although it was not his intent. Someone else here may know what I'm talking about I'm pretty sure I heard it on wfmu and that's what prompted the research. Anyway it's an interesting and contentious topic. Like I don't think it should be off limits for an artist to attempt a perspective they don't actually have the background for. Alot of people seem to think it should be.
	4:43pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: @djsheilab, not sure if you are familiar with the Egyptian singer Simone from the late 80s/early 90s. My friend in Korea sent me this 12" (www.discogs.com...) ; has a great cover of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner"
	4:43pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—Alienating with auto-tune!
	4:44pm headcleaner: btw 'legal' in Brazilian Portuguese can be approximated as 'lay-GOw' (where you soften the closing 'w' considerably... like "out" but without the "t")... and it usually means 'cool' , 'nice', or 'good' rather than 'legal'
	♥ 4:45pm βrian: Sorry, but it's like seeing a clear plastic slipcover on a nice piece of furniture.
	♥ 4:45pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Sheila, been enjoying the tunes on a hectic Friday; the show is making things better. :) hello to all!
	4:47pm djsheilab: Sean—I hear you. I more just find it humorous to imagine Mark Knoplfer singing those lyrics. I do also find it interesting when artists attempt a perspective they don't have the background for, as you say. Like Randy Newman.
	4:47pm djsheilab: Thanks chris in the redwoods!
	4:47pm Jett: I was out on the road in Suffolk county Long Island. Couldn't pick you up on the car radio 91.1 WSHU -FM Conn. a classical station blocks you out and 91.9 WSHG -FM Ronkonkoma a contemporary pop station also blocks you out.I couldn't begin listening to you until "Private Dancer" by Tina Turner. Finally at home enjoying your show, I hope you are well, and that my buddy Alvy Singer continues to be well. I was having @DjSheilaB withdrawals. Thanks for being so awesome. 👍
	4:48pm heartcore: another gr8 show! hi all! Time for the rest to leave social media as well and truly try to live in the moment. Thanx Sheila! beautiful music make great moments!
	♥ 4:48pm βrian: Always lovely to check in on the explosion of saffron, for sure.
	4:48pm djsheilab: βrian—It's all good. And love the analogy! I normally don't like auto-tune but I think it works well with that single. Although Amber Mark does not need it at all.
	4:48pm SoSylvie: Love that Mali guitar sound :)
	4:49pm djsheilab: Thanks heartcore! Hey Jett! Alvy Singer is now in tip-top shape. Thanks for asking :)
	4:50pm djsheilab: EarlyMorningInSeoul—Ooh! I'm intrigued. Thank you!
	4:51pm Jett: I am so happy to hear that @DjSheilaB, that dude had a magnificent nurse taking care of him. I'm happy you both have been so blessed. Thanks.
	4:51pm wizard frog: I think as the kids say 'this is a bop!'
	4:51pm DJ Guin: Hi SheilawithaB and friends.
	4:52pm headcleaner: @Syvie - even very cultured cities lack good radio stations, sadly - that was one of the many strikes against Philadelphia, for example, which ultimately led me to come crawling back to NYC
	♥ 4:52pm Gurldoggie: Interesting dialogue here about social media. For my two cents, I've found it's quite comparable to other forms of addictive behavior. It can have real benefits when used in moderation - maintaining connection, promoting causes, getting exposed to new ideas. But like so many other crutches and distractions we can abuse it, which is when it becomes a problem. I get a lot out of facebook, Instagram, a few other platforms, as long as I stay conscious of my use and don't overdo it.
	4:52pm BH: Facebook kinda become boring to me when I graduated college, which was also around the time that they left everybody else on Facebook
	4:52pm headcleaner: (yes, you can get streams from anywhere in the world, these days. But there's something nice about a strong, stready terrestrial signal - and the community that can support a good, independent radio station or two)
	♥ 4:53pm Gurldoggie: I mean ... isn't the wfmu message board a social media based community? And don't tell me this isn't a good use of time!
	♥ 4:53pm Joe McG: Knew it was PONGO!
	4:54pm djsheilab: Joe McG—You bet!
	♥ 4:55pm βrian: It's the proprietary and opaque algorithms that are the main problem. They're designed to amplify controversy. Needs to be transparent and open-source.
	4:56pm SoSylvie: @headcleaner Yes, community :)
	♥ 4:57pm chris in the redwoods: i rarely sign on to IG, which is a hold out for me, after dumping all others. when i do, i get fed dusttodigital's stuff and its amazing, then i close the thing for another week or so. its a weakness.
	4:57pm djsheilab: Gurldoggie—Indeed, but very different to how Facebook, Twitter + Instagram. As Brian said—it's the algorithms. And the behaviorial psychology they employ to keep us addicted. And nevermind all the privacy stuff.
	4:57pm djsheilab: chris in the redwoods—Dust To Digital is so great.
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I do in fact worry that my dopamine is too tangled up with FMU ! But that's as much about me as FMU... Music & Culture Matter - & - so does Community. FMU delivers all of these like nothing else. It really does. The difference is FMU - whatever its organizational quirks & specifics - is Listener Supported : it ain't selling our data or identities (on the contrary) - & it's more or less transparent: we know a good bit of what's happening & who does it. The Tech Monopolies are the least in all these virtues... SheilaB well summed up.
	4:58pm headcleaner: @Gurldoggie - it is of course, technically. But somehow WFMU seems to sit in an alternate universe, compared to nearly all social media platforms. Part of that comes from the fact that it's tiny... and that as a "price of admission" one has to "sit through" a barrage of delightful, enlightening, soul-enriching sounds that for most other people would be... just noise (or "not what I'm used to")
	4:59pm WM: Helen Humes had a long career with Count Basie.
	4:59pm headcleaner: I look at WFMU as a part social media, part drugs, part out-and-out cult... but all for good and genuinely good for you, somehow
	♥ 4:59pm dreamyandseedy: “his will’s made out to me!”
	5:00pm SoSylvie: @headcleaner Medicine.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: According to all the Show Biz business models - FMU should not - as far as they would say - could not exist ! :D
	5:01pm Joey: Shelia's show, Clay's and other fmu shows are more the way i use to get together and talk music, films, ect with friends. It's so refreshing! FB just doesn't do that for me.
	5:01pm Colleen: So so good...as always!
	♥ 5:01pm tim from champaign (now washington): Well I never!
	5:01pm headcleaner: Sylvie - yup - medicine & therapy
	♥ 5:02pm Vanessa Tara: @headcleaner: the "not what i'm used to" attitude really does grate on me
	♥ 5:02pm Vanessa Tara: for me this is a necessary weekly trip through the id
	5:02pm heartcore: Gurldoggie this is a message board/chat on the internet and here we can be anonymous,pseudonymous and/or eponmous. The internet is and should be treated like a library, in order information to become knowledge, the scientific methods of lib. science should be applied: Categorization, classification (taxonomy) and archiving. WFMU is great because it adheres to that, social media platforms just bombards you with signals, constantly, which is bad and alters you in a more cronenberg way that you can image. (plus they have your whole history, you don't)... :)
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: Flora !!
	5:03pm Avrilinmay: re: a bit earlier, the Meshell Ndegeocello loved discovering her, covering Nina, on a tv show (not necessarily recommending those, especially when they are produced by Am**on, but that mix, her music & the show's vibe, really worked), I love Dick
	5:04pm ncjay: i wrote to flora when she was in jail around this time and she wrote back. she was very nice
	♥ 5:04pm βrian: We curate our own society.
	♥ 5:06pm Michael 98145: I believe it was our friend, fred, who said "I listen to WFMU not to hear what I like but to like what I hear." brilliant
	♥ 5:08pm chris in the redwoods: great fred quote, Michael; and so true for so many of us! :)
	♥ 5:09pm Vanessa Tara: @michael: well put!
	5:09pm Jocelyn: I love your interviews! I played the Donna Loren ep for friends and they were so blown away by that convo.
	5:10pm djsheilab: Thank you Jocelyn! I'm looking forward to getting back to interviewing artists.
	5:10pm djsheilab: βrian + Michael 98145—Love both these quotes!
	♥ 5:11pm Gurldoggie: Good points, one and all. There's no doubt that the intellectual curiosity and level of conversation at WFMU is way more engaging than 99.9% of what I find on facebook etc. That's why I'm here and not there!
	5:11pm michael z: I love the harmonies/chorus on this Liz Phair song. Plus it has an Exile low fi vibe.
	♥ 5:14pm artbrau: Nice. I've always had a soft spot for Liz Phair. I even loved her overproduced "Liz Phair" from 2003 (NYT: "she has committed an embarrassing form of career suicide."- www.nytimes.com...)
	♥ 5:15pm Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	♥ 5:16pm Jason from Houston: The woozy/screwed/distorted treatment is so lovely on this. Phew...
	5:17pm djsheilab: michael z + artbrau—It's great that she's still making records, even though I must admit that I abandoned her for awhile after "Exile." That NY Times quote is HARSH!
	5:18pm djsheilab: Jason from Houston—The new L'Rain is definitely up your street then!
	5:20pm Robm: @Gurlsoggie one of the things I find interesting is how derp the conversations can get at times and what kind of subjects c was n and will be discussed,and how knowledgeable the list mind is
	5:23pm listener Paul: How do you have such and excellent and beautiful show week after week?
	5:24pm Andrea Egert: Sheila B., that David Darling & the Wulu Bunun track was so transportingly beautiful - thank you for that one!
	♥ 5:25pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: on a short break from work/home and my cats and i are napping and listening to this set with a wind storm outside ... perfect cozy journey
	5:26pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—That sounds wonderfully cozy! Hello cats!
	5:27pm djsheilab: That's such a lovely comment, listener Paul. Thank you!
	5:27pm djsheilab: Andrea Egert—Glad you enjoyed!
	5:31pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Doing some spreadsheet work to this, perfect soundtrack too!
	5:32pm MissG: SoSylvie, don't know if you are still here, in between Tstorms and power flickerings I popped in. Of course I'm sure you'll be happy if you listen to any of the streams on WFMU all day long, but for me in Richmond, I also enjoy the local aspect of low power FM radio WRIR. Can you receive where you are, 100.7? Maybe for local stuff. . .http://www.athensrock.com/
	♥ 5:32pm Passaic River Blues: This is reminding me of segments from an Andy Weatherall ambient house mixtape from 1995 that I lost long ago. That is to say, double-plus click-star.
	5:34pm djsheilab: Passaic River Blues—An Andy Weatherall mixtape! Must be beautiful.
	♥ 5:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Kept busy this afternoon setting up the reception hall in St. Croix, WI, for my niece's wedding. Hit up the local Wal-mart for some items afterwards. I think I counted ten masks amongst all the shoppers. Loving the international selections today! 🌐
	♥ 5:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): I love this deadly dub!
	♥ 5:35pm dreamyandseedy: this song reminds that i also finally saw Lover’s Rock and it was mesmerizing
	5:37pm MissG: dreamyandseedy, right? I have been telling everyone I know and I read all about the cinematographer. tim from cnoww, do you remember I mentioned a novel about a fictional female singer proto Afropunk? "Opal and Nev?" It was one of the best novels I've read from the past decade!
	5:38pm BH: there's a thunderstorm here, which is actually good as long as wind doesn't knock down any stuff (because I wasn't going outside anyways)
	♥ 5:40pm fred: It's a mystery to me why I love dub but dislike reggae I saw a live band for the first time since October yesterday! Enjoy!
	5:41pm Jett: My precious friend @DjSheilaB Please enjoy your party tonight. I'm happy to hear you're finally getting out to see some live entertainment. I'm pretty psyched out to be finally returning to the radio on the station I am on, in mid July. This show today just seemed much to short. Much love to you, and stay safe. ❤️
	♥ 5:43pm tim from champaign (now washington): Pph - I've been really curious about this Numero release.
	5:44pm Jett: Sounds a lot like "Love Can Make You Happy" by Mercy.
	♥ 5:44pm Passaic River Blues: Love the organ here.
	5:44pm Joey: Gotta run and get my daughter Jess! Have a great weekend Sheila and thanks for a fantastic show!! Take care friends!!
	5:45pm P-90: Well this is dripping with 1970 vibes...
	5:45pm headcleaner: @ncjay - it was nice of you to write to Flora Purim while she was in jail. From an NYT article about her time there: “For the first three months I was scared and always looking over my shoulders,”she said. “And after that time I really became an inmate of that place. When I went to jail I wasn't even using drugs but within a few weeks I learned everything there is to know about heroin. I would have to guess that 90 percent of the prisoners used heroin inside that jail. Three girls on my tier took overdoses and I learned how to pump their hearts to tty to get them going again. Then I would have to go back to my cell and lie down and fly off into my head simply so I would not mad. “What kept me going? Partly the knowledge of what could do after I got out, but most of all the letters. In the 18 months I was in the jail I got 10,000 letters, from Europe and Japan, all over the world. They gave me the hope I needed to live through this thing. At least that part of it was beautiful.”
	♥ 5:45pm p/b: big love Sheila and everyone else, going thru it but love is love just got to plug in that's the theory true like gravity
	5:46pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: I'm a sucker for that organ sound🎵
	♥ 5:47pm tim from champaign (now washington): Me too EarlyMorningInSOul.!
	♥ 5:48pm chresti: fred, you dislike all reggae except dub? Or certain types more than other types of reggae?
	5:48pm djsheilab: p/b—Thanks for the love!
	♥ 5:50pm tim from champaign (now washington): Yes!!!! Great choice for the occasional man!
	5:51pm Jett: I still play this Smiths song often at my house. Love the haunting intro.
	♥ 5:51pm fred: @chresti: I don't know enough to tell, honestly. I guess it's a spectrum, I don't know whether I'd like a track or not before hearing it
	♥ 5:52pm squidbeak: Oof, I'm 15 again...
	♥ 5:52pm Gurldoggie: The opening chords of this Smiths song bring back SUCH memories. THANK GOODNESS I'll never have to be in high school again!
	5:52pm Campbell: The Smiths - the most important band of the 1980s?
	5:54pm ncjay: no
	♥ 5:54pm Guido from Cologne: This is the first time of my life I actually enjoy a Smith's song ....
	5:54pm Andrea Egert: Ahhh - I hope one day Morrisey wakes up in full possession of the kind of compassion he had earlier in is life...
	5:55pm Jett: When I was in high school, I was the guy that turned my friends on to The Sex Pistols, The Dictators, The Ramones, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, The Damned, Motorhead, etc...
	5:55pm MissG: (ah, j'adore Mylène!) Thank you Sheila B, loved last week's show on archive, so looking forward to your interviews, have a FAB TIME at the live gig, so happy for you! (not "envious," but hoping I get to do that too soon!)
	5:56pm Campbell: I tried to turn friends onto The Ramones and it didn't go well.
	5:56pm Jett: The greatest treasure on the radio airwaves = @DjSheilaB. Nobody comes close.
	♥ 5:57pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Sheila! :)
	5:58pm ncjay: enjoyed the show this week as always, Sheila - thanks, and hope to hear you next week.
	♥ 5:58pm Michael 98145: Oui, Mylène! Merci, DJ Sheila
	5:58pm heartcore: Sheila rockz!
	5:59pm Jett: @Campbell Some friends hated the Ramones. I told them, well I like them, and they will be very BIG. I remember seeing them open up for Blue Oyster Cult and the Ramones not getting the friendliest of reception.
	♥ 5:59pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Ms. B.
	♥ 5:59pm tim from champaign (now washington): O man, thanks for the great sow, Sheila! You rule!
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sheila. Have a wonderful evening, weekend, week, etc.!
	6:00pm Andrea Egert: Thank you for another extraordinary show &. have a fabulous weekend, Sheila B.!!!
	6:00pm Jocelyn: Wishing everyone a beautiful weekend!
	♥ 6:00pm Monica: Thx for a lovely show, Sheila!
	♥ 6:00pm Vanessa Tara: thank you!
	6:00pm Campbell: French pop is always welcome Sheila B. Merci beaucoup.
	6:00pm Chan: Thanks for all you do! I love it. If you return to IG I would love to follow you.
	♥ 6:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: See you Tuesday, Monica, for your fill-in for the Old Codger!
	♥ 6:02pm Michael 98145: "Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning." Bruce Lee
	6:19pm djsheilab: Thanks lovely listeners! Xoxoxox

	♥ 3:29pm Michael 98145: ( i will -never- learn Chinese )
	♥ 3:30pm Passaic River Blues: It was kind of like a SBB microcosm of SBB in range of genre, time period, geography, and mood.
	♥ 3:31pm Handy Haversack: Well, in a few minutes we're heading out for the Glistener Glathering in Manhattan! We'll be tuning in from there. Sounding great, Sheila B!

	♥ 3:34pm Michael 98145: have fun in The City, gang
	♥ 3:34pm listener james from westwood: Really happy Amanda is returning and to hear Sonika again—that latter show was quite a trip.
	3:35pm Rob Kopp: I bet you spell that CAThleen
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Giving minutes of your own Program to - let everyone know more about the new Schedule - & spotlight the new Programs & DJs ...very kewl.
	3:37pm Heidella: Happy to be here!! Sheila are you selling SBB swag or did I dream that up? :)
	♥ 3:38pm Brian D: Awww, thanks for the mention Sheila B. Honored and humbled to be on the schedule... and nervous as heck.
	3:39pm djsheilab: Hey Editor B, Joey, + craig! Hey Heidella—Nope, not selling any SBB swag.
	3:39pm djsheilab: Brian D—I know what you mean about the nerves. I get VERY nervous before every show and it's been 6 years!
	3:40pm Heidella: A girl can dream!
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They say Nerves mean you Care - & that's Good. +

	3:43pm Rob Kopp: @Michael: love that
	3:44pm djsheilab: Michael 98145—So much wisdom in such a young man.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Revolution Rabbit Nov63 + Joey—I see nerves as a sign of caring as well :)
	♥ 3:47pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Sheila and everybody!
	♥ 3:48pm Michael 98145: One of my favorites ... "Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable." Bruce Lee
	3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BruceLee seemed to perceive things as Elements...
	3:50pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: I jumped in at the just the right moment for such a pleasant tune on this rainy Friday!

	3:50pm Joey: Lot's of wonderful, caring friends here!!
	3:51pm djsheilab: I've been listening to the Bruce Lee podcast, hosted by his daughter Shannon, and I feel like I'm getting such a rich, insightful education.
	3:52pm djsheilab: Hey tim from champaign + EarlyMorningInSeoul!
	♥ 3:54pm HyperDose: @Handy @3:03 Ooops, just saw this now. I was planning on it, but I'm pooped from the doctor visits. Hadn't been in a decade and had to get some routine tests in preparation for this summer. Finally off my feet since I moved. Parents are coming up tomorrow and bringing rugs with them, lots to do. Thank you and LCBD so much for the invite, maybe next time! <3
	3:55pm Mike tp: what a beautiful groove.SHEILA B
	3:56pm Robm: Shelia what is the podcast from bruce lees daughter called ?
	3:57pm djsheilab: Robm—Here's a link: podcasts.apple.com...
	♥ 3:57pm Monica: meshell did such a lovely job on this album:)
	3:57pm djsheilab: Thanks Mike tp!
	3:58pm djsheilab: Monica—So true. Not one bad cover!
	3:58pm Sylvie: Merci beaucoup for WFMU. I just moved to Athens, Georgia from The Bay Area and was shocked to find that they don't have good radio here. HAPPILY my son turned me onto WFMU!!!!!! Loving DJ SheilaB :)))))))
	3:59pm Robm: @Shelia thanks love how the listmind helps out
	3:59pm djsheilab: Love to you n' your son, Sylvie! Glad you could bring WFMU with you to the Bay Area.
	4:00pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: This Denya is a nice chill track 🧊
	4:01pm Jocelyn M.: Love, love, love this
	♥ 4:02pm Michael 98145: @Sylvie, loved seeing the redbuds blooming in Athens some years back ...
	4:03pm -o-l-i-v-i-e-r-: Found the Denyah track on Deezer, cool: www.deezer.com...
	4:05pm Jocelyn: Living in the moment!
	4:06pm Editor B: I went off social media in spring 2019. Dipped my toe back in fall 2020 to see if I could promote some grassroots organizing... but to little avail. So I think I'm off again.
	4:06pm BH: on the Facebook front.. I had someone I graduated HS with (17 years ago) message me and then by the 4th message hint that he needs money. Which was messaged at like 1am. But I guess it's not a MLM
	♥ 4:06pm Michael 98145: FOMO is BS
	♥ 4:07pm artbrau: So, Sheila, do you think your radio show makes it easier to avoid social media? or it is a substitute in some way?
	4:07pm Editor B: May I recommend the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport? He is a computer scientist who is skeptical of social media.
	♥ 4:08pm Michael 98145: we never expected the Internet to become a pathway for vampires
	4:08pm dork: Blaa blaa blaa Shut up! you're the most annoying
	4:08pm -o-l-i-v-i-e-r-: Nice, new music from you Sheila, I'm looking forward to it :)
	4:09pm craig: Sheila, you an Asa fan?
	♥ 4:09pm Passaic River Blues: I've been off social media for about three and half years, and all the missing-out aspects you identify will gradually pass. However, I do not have an answer for the business and promotion aspects. That is a quandary.
	4:09pm Jocelyn: I hate that my friends are so brainwashed and glued and instead of answering or showing me something they refer me to a post ugh
	4:09pm SoSylvie: @djsheilab Bravo on your social media detox! I've never owned a cell phone (I obviously do use a computer). Not having a cell phone has always felt rewarding -- never lacking.
	4:09pm djsheilab: Thanks for the tip, Editor B!
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminds me of talking about AA. It can perplex the moderate drinker. But there's no doubt the Tech Monopolies are duplicitous towards us. I really got nothing else to connect me with - everything. But I'm not fooled by these Corporate SuperRich TechLords.
	4:10pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: oh interesting Nabi (나비) means butterfly in Korean. An interesting thing I remember is whenever there were stray cats, people would call them Nabi. I guess kind of like saying "here kitty"
	4:10pm Rob Kopp: Ask someone else for the business and promotion aspects?
	4:11pm djsheilab: artbrau—Absolutely. I think it would be much harder for me to have gotten off if I didn't have WFMU. This is my way of connecting with the world.
	4:11pm Prof. Fat Fingers: If enough of us drop exploitative "social" media from our lives, we will no longer be the ones left out. You are totally "in" with WFMU listeners, of course.
	♥ 4:11pm dreamyandseedy: i had been wondering how your social media sobriety was going, thank you for the update and glad to hear you have no regrets!
	♥ 4:12pm tim from champaign (now washington): Congratulations on 8 months, Sheila. Keep coming back - haha ;).
	4:12pm Robm: @Sosilvia i was very reluctant to have a smartphone, but i got talked into it for a lot of reasons, my niece and nephews most of all, so yeah I know where your coming from
	4:12pm djsheilab: Prof. Fat Fingers—That's what I'm hoping for!
	♥ 4:13pm listener james from westwood: Tina!!
	♥ 4:13pm Michael 98145: ah
	♥ 4:15pm dreamyandseedy: finally saw the documentary! so good
	4:15pm djsheilab: A reminder to watch the Tina Turner doc if you haven't seen yet. It's really something!
	4:15pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—Yessss!!!
	♥ 4:15pm listener james from westwood: And I was today years old when I learned of the Knopfler connection!! :O
	4:15pm SoSylvie: @Robm I didn't think that cell phones would catch on; I thought that there were too many rebels and independent thinkers in the world.I was way off on that one!
	♥ 4:15pm Aharon: I crack up imagining Mark Knopfler singing this.
	4:16pm Jocelyn M.: Knopfler wrote this?! hilarious
	♥ 4:16pm Monica: heard miss gou on a new release list. lovely. lotta 80s sade and janet vibes floating around these days:) NOT a complaint.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh ! - makes sense next to Sultans of Swing or Money For Nothin' or something...
	4:17pm Joey: SoSylvie, i thought the very same thing!
	♥ 4:17pm Zinn The Mood: “I’m an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside." George Carlin I haven’t been on FarceBook literally for years. Probably the top thing I resent most about its insidiousness is that has rendered anyone who chooses to not engage as persona non grata, as if we don’t exist. I could go on and on and on about how demonically exploitative and damaging it has been. But I mainly wanted you to hear the Carlin quote. Because I think many of us here probably feel similarly.
	♥ 4:17pm tim from champaign (now washington): Other than streaming WFMU and checking out some music related web-sites, I have found that the noise and jibber jabber of the internet really gets me down. I have found that most of the information that is presented to me is completely irreleveant to my life. At the end of last year I made the decision to stop looking at news sites - Washington Post, NYT and The Guardian. I now pick up a print newspaper 3-4 times a week to stay current. I really feel so much better.
	4:18pm BH: Wikipedia says: 'Mark Knopfler has said the song was ruined due to "them drafting in Jeff Beck to play the world's second ugliest guitar solo"' At the risk of sharing this information with people who rank ugly guitar solos
	♥ 4:18pm RomanDogBird: hi sheila, i got your marathon shirt in the mail this week. feeling far more fashionable than usual. good to hear how you're doing staying off of social media.
	4:18pm Robm: @Sosilvie i just use my phone to get great stations like WFMU or to get international broadcasting like the BBC for breaking news, have given up on cable news
	4:19pm djsheilab: Of course we can count on Carlin to nail it. Thanks for sharing, Zinn The Mood!
	♥ 4:19pm Michael 98145: Always love hearing Gal Costa
	4:20pm Prof. Fat Fingers: Maybe we can think of it this way--this is our chance to create a counter-cultural system of social communication and support beneath the radar of corporate Big Social Media. Are not this show and WFMU generally part of that -- and have been for many years?
	4:21pm Joey: I almost never answer my phone..i never did. It's a big bother sometimes, you know, a phone becoming more important than actually seeing people in real life. Thank goodness i have friends that feel the same.
	♥ 4:22pm bigkafka: When the horns dropped on this Gal Costa track!
	4:23pm djsheilab: tim from champaign (now washington)—Ugh....I check the Washington Post, NYT and The Guardian repeatedly. Good on you for getting off them!
	♥ 4:23pm Asheville Jon: wow. holy cow. thank you all (i guess?) for the Private Dancer / Knopfler connection. had no idea, and I've been a Dire Straits fan since the beginning!
	4:23pm SoSylvie: YES! I love this version of Interlude, second to Morrissey and Siouxsie...
	4:24pm djsheilab: Asheville Jon—So unexpected, right?!!
	4:24pm headcleaner: Meet the artist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timi_Yuro#/media/File:Timi_Yuro.png
	4:24pm Joey: Linda Lewis!! She was a screaming fan in Hard Day's Night!!
	♥ 4:24pm Asheville Jon: scarily so Sheila! and the line up for the recording is basically mid 1980's DS without Mark. bizarro world!
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Set is going in a rich direction indeed.
	4:25pm Robm: @Djsheliab i recommend the BBC sounds app they have other stuff on there besides the world service
	♥ 4:25pm listener james from westwood: Love that Ace comp cover and title juxtaposition!
	4:26pm SoSylvie: No news is good news :)
	4:26pm Bruce Mangosteen: Can you play that Thai record you were talking about?? I am a Thai record fanatic. Thank you :)
	4:26pm djsheilab: SoSylvie—Too true.
	4:27pm djsheilab: Bruce Mangosteen—Will bring it in soon.
	4:27pm That Goddam Todd: On my way out on a hot date with my beloved. Your show has been the soundtrack while we got all gussied up funk style. Thanks!!!
	4:27pm Robm: @asoSylvie i do like to keep up with current events,
	4:28pm sugarwolf: My friends live all over the world so the internet and social media is one of the ways to stay in touch with them. It has also been a way for me to find out about things going on locally. I only joined IG a few years ago and because of it I met a lot more local people. I just think there is a lot more nuance than the social media bad IRL good binary that is being set up here.
	4:28pm djsheilab: That Goddam Todd—Well isn't that the best comment. Enjoy your hot date!
	4:29pm mmeghan: i love this song
	4:29pm headcleaner: @Sylvie - radio in the "wilds" of the US, outside of a few major cities, is a rude surprise indeed. Très, très triste
	♥ 4:29pm Vanessa Tara: sounds like susan christie
	4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We need to turn everything around to the People. I don't know how, of course. But imagine the potential of Tech now if individuals had control of their own data - & services. (In a Society in which you can't even choose your own cable TV channels...) Whether Tech is inherently Toxic for humans & human society is another question - & a significant one.
	4:30pm djsheilab: sugarwolf—That's exactly why I find it hard to be off. Not the internet, just social media. I'm now cut off from most people I know around the world, and it's odd.
	♥ 4:30pm βrian: No social media in our household. I might consider some kind of non-corporate instance, though.
	4:31pm SoSylvie: @headcleaner I didn't expect it in Athens, though -- a town known for music?! We had great college radio in Santa Cruz.
	4:31pm djsheilab: I love this song.
	♥ 4:32pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Sheila - re: news sites. I used to check them multiple times a day. The rat race feeling of needing to keep up was draining. I (re)discovered during the lock down last year that I could start and article in a print paper, put it down if I needed to, come back to it later and it would still be relevant - haha!
	4:32pm SoSylvie: How can anyone be cut-off when there's email, telephones and good old letter writing?
	♥ 4:32pm Michael 98145: Guess i do, too. It seems to have a golden star. 😊
	4:33pm J2bryson: Isn’t this social media? I’m totally sympathetic with going cold turkey off an addiction, but you can also budget your way out of a time deficit. Anyway, the music is awesome so I’m not complaining.
	♥ 4:34pm βrian: I've lost the habit of letter writing, but I do like e-mail. Pure text. No formatting. Just words.
	♥ 4:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Liraz is my current favorite SBB favorite!
	4:34pm Joey: I send vintage postcards alot..and long distance calls. Emails too.
	4:35pm SoSylvie: Yay! @Joey :)
	♥ 4:36pm βrian: @Joey: Have you tried putting faux vintage postmarks on them and dropping them in the recipients' letter box? Might be kind of a fun trick to receive a letter seemingly sent mamy years before.
	4:36pm Joey: Thanks, Sylvie! Sometimes it takes forever to receive, but who cares!!
	♥ 4:36pm Michael 98145: I love getting and sending actual mail -- hoping it supports our USPS
	4:37pm BH: yeah, a guy singing Private Dancer would take the song in a few different directions?
	4:37pm Joey: That's fantastic Brian!! Might try that!
	4:38pm SoSylvie: Receiving a postcard or letter is like holding an album sleeve in your hands as opposed to...a phone?
	♥ 4:39pm Jason from Houston: I was doing really good sending mail/drawings but I am understanding that it just goes in waves. And that's okay.
	♥ 4:40pm dreamyandseedy: AMBER comin thru once again!! that album better be hot ;)
	♥ 4:40pm βrian: Wha? Auto-tune? I'll be back later.
	♥ 4:41pm dreamyandseedy: my favorite part of the Tina doc was at the end when she’s singing with the red-headed fan and later you see him just sobbing
	4:41pm mmeghan: love amber mark so much!!
	♥ 4:41pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Hi Sheila B! I've been enjoying your show since I discovered it a couple years ago, but I never managed to learn the name of your opening theme song (which I "sing" along to every week). Oshiete kuremasen ka?
	4:42pm Bimbus Bambus: Love it when you alienate your listeners, Sheila! This is fantastic.
	♥ 4:42pm Gurldoggie: Good afternoon folks. Just tuning in. Better late than never!
	4:43pm Sean: There was some other mark knophler song that he got some static for where he wrote from the perspective of a gay man. Pretty sure he completely missed the mark on that one and it comes off completely homophobic although it was not his intent. Someone else here may know what I'm talking about I'm pretty sure I heard it on wfmu and that's what prompted the research. Anyway it's an interesting and contentious topic. Like I don't think it should be off limits for an artist to attempt a perspective they don't actually have the background for. Alot of people seem to think it should be.
	4:43pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: @djsheilab, not sure if you are familiar with the Egyptian singer Simone from the late 80s/early 90s. My friend in Korea sent me this 12" (www.discogs.com...) ; has a great cover of Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner"
	4:43pm djsheilab: Bimbus Bambus—Alienating with auto-tune!
	4:44pm headcleaner: btw 'legal' in Brazilian Portuguese can be approximated as 'lay-GOw' (where you soften the closing 'w' considerably... like "out" but without the "t")... and it usually means 'cool' , 'nice', or 'good' rather than 'legal'
	♥ 4:45pm βrian: Sorry, but it's like seeing a clear plastic slipcover on a nice piece of furniture.
	♥ 4:45pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Sheila, been enjoying the tunes on a hectic Friday; the show is making things better. :) hello to all!
	4:47pm djsheilab: Sean—I hear you. I more just find it humorous to imagine Mark Knoplfer singing those lyrics. I do also find it interesting when artists attempt a perspective they don't have the background for, as you say. Like Randy Newman.
	4:47pm djsheilab: Thanks chris in the redwoods!
	4:47pm Jett: I was out on the road in Suffolk county Long Island. Couldn't pick you up on the car radio 91.1 WSHU -FM Conn. a classical station blocks you out and 91.9 WSHG -FM Ronkonkoma a contemporary pop station also blocks you out.I couldn't begin listening to you until "Private Dancer" by Tina Turner. Finally at home enjoying your show, I hope you are well, and that my buddy Alvy Singer continues to be well. I was having @DjSheilaB withdrawals. Thanks for being so awesome. 👍
	4:48pm heartcore: another gr8 show! hi all! Time for the rest to leave social media as well and truly try to live in the moment. Thanx Sheila! beautiful music make great moments!
	♥ 4:48pm βrian: Always lovely to check in on the explosion of saffron, for sure.
	4:48pm djsheilab: βrian—It's all good. And love the analogy! I normally don't like auto-tune but I think it works well with that single. Although Amber Mark does not need it at all.
	4:48pm SoSylvie: Love that Mali guitar sound :)
	4:49pm djsheilab: Thanks heartcore! Hey Jett! Alvy Singer is now in tip-top shape. Thanks for asking :)
	4:50pm djsheilab: EarlyMorningInSeoul—Ooh! I'm intrigued. Thank you!
	4:51pm Jett: I am so happy to hear that @DjSheilaB, that dude had a magnificent nurse taking care of him. I'm happy you both have been so blessed. Thanks.
	4:51pm wizard frog: I think as the kids say 'this is a bop!'
	4:51pm DJ Guin: Hi SheilawithaB and friends.
	4:52pm headcleaner: @Syvie - even very cultured cities lack good radio stations, sadly - that was one of the many strikes against Philadelphia, for example, which ultimately led me to come crawling back to NYC
	♥ 4:52pm Gurldoggie: Interesting dialogue here about social media. For my two cents, I've found it's quite comparable to other forms of addictive behavior. It can have real benefits when used in moderation - maintaining connection, promoting causes, getting exposed to new ideas. But like so many other crutches and distractions we can abuse it, which is when it becomes a problem. I get a lot out of facebook, Instagram, a few other platforms, as long as I stay conscious of my use and don't overdo it.
	4:52pm BH: Facebook kinda become boring to me when I graduated college, which was also around the time that they left everybody else on Facebook
	4:52pm headcleaner: (yes, you can get streams from anywhere in the world, these days. But there's something nice about a strong, stready terrestrial signal - and the community that can support a good, independent radio station or two)
	♥ 4:53pm Gurldoggie: I mean ... isn't the wfmu message board a social media based community? And don't tell me this isn't a good use of time!
	♥ 4:53pm Joe McG: Knew it was PONGO!
	4:54pm djsheilab: Joe McG—You bet!
	♥ 4:55pm βrian: It's the proprietary and opaque algorithms that are the main problem. They're designed to amplify controversy. Needs to be transparent and open-source.
	4:56pm SoSylvie: @headcleaner Yes, community :)
	♥ 4:57pm chris in the redwoods: i rarely sign on to IG, which is a hold out for me, after dumping all others. when i do, i get fed dusttodigital's stuff and its amazing, then i close the thing for another week or so. its a weakness.
	4:57pm djsheilab: Gurldoggie—Indeed, but very different to how Facebook, Twitter + Instagram. As Brian said—it's the algorithms. And the behaviorial psychology they employ to keep us addicted. And nevermind all the privacy stuff.
	4:57pm djsheilab: chris in the redwoods—Dust To Digital is so great.
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I do in fact worry that my dopamine is too tangled up with FMU ! But that's as much about me as FMU... Music & Culture Matter - & - so does Community. FMU delivers all of these like nothing else. It really does. The difference is FMU - whatever its organizational quirks & specifics - is Listener Supported : it ain't selling our data or identities (on the contrary) - & it's more or less transparent: we know a good bit of what's happening & who does it. The Tech Monopolies are the least in all these virtues... SheilaB well summed up.
	4:58pm headcleaner: @Gurldoggie - it is of course, technically. But somehow WFMU seems to sit in an alternate universe, compared to nearly all social media platforms. Part of that comes from the fact that it's tiny... and that as a "price of admission" one has to "sit through" a barrage of delightful, enlightening, soul-enriching sounds that for most other people would be... just noise (or "not what I'm used to")
	4:59pm WM: Helen Humes had a long career with Count Basie.
	4:59pm headcleaner: I look at WFMU as a part social media, part drugs, part out-and-out cult... but all for good and genuinely good for you, somehow
	♥ 4:59pm dreamyandseedy: “his will’s made out to me!”
	5:00pm SoSylvie: @headcleaner Medicine.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: According to all the Show Biz business models - FMU should not - as far as they would say - could not exist ! :D
	5:01pm Joey: Shelia's show, Clay's and other fmu shows are more the way i use to get together and talk music, films, ect with friends. It's so refreshing! FB just doesn't do that for me.
	5:01pm Colleen: So so good...as always!
	♥ 5:01pm tim from champaign (now washington): Well I never!
	5:01pm headcleaner: Sylvie - yup - medicine & therapy
	♥ 5:02pm Vanessa Tara: @headcleaner: the "not what i'm used to" attitude really does grate on me
	♥ 5:02pm Vanessa Tara: for me this is a necessary weekly trip through the id
	5:02pm heartcore: Gurldoggie this is a message board/chat on the internet and here we can be anonymous,pseudonymous and/or eponmous. The internet is and should be treated like a library, in order information to become knowledge, the scientific methods of lib. science should be applied: Categorization, classification (taxonomy) and archiving. WFMU is great because it adheres to that, social media platforms just bombards you with signals, constantly, which is bad and alters you in a more cronenberg way that you can image. (plus they have your whole history, you don't)... :)
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: Flora !!
	5:03pm Avrilinmay: re: a bit earlier, the Meshell Ndegeocello loved discovering her, covering Nina, on a tv show (not necessarily recommending those, especially when they are produced by Am**on, but that mix, her music & the show's vibe, really worked), I love Dick
	5:04pm ncjay: i wrote to flora when she was in jail around this time and she wrote back. she was very nice
	♥ 5:04pm βrian: We curate our own society.
	♥ 5:06pm Michael 98145: I believe it was our friend, fred, who said "I listen to WFMU not to hear what I like but to like what I hear." brilliant
	♥ 5:08pm chris in the redwoods: great fred quote, Michael; and so true for so many of us! :)
	♥ 5:09pm Vanessa Tara: @michael: well put!
	5:09pm Jocelyn: I love your interviews! I played the Donna Loren ep for friends and they were so blown away by that convo.
	5:10pm djsheilab: Thank you Jocelyn! I'm looking forward to getting back to interviewing artists.
	5:10pm djsheilab: βrian + Michael 98145—Love both these quotes!
	♥ 5:11pm Gurldoggie: Good points, one and all. There's no doubt that the intellectual curiosity and level of conversation at WFMU is way more engaging than 99.9% of what I find on facebook etc. That's why I'm here and not there!
	5:11pm michael z: I love the harmonies/chorus on this Liz Phair song. Plus it has an Exile low fi vibe.
	♥ 5:14pm artbrau: Nice. I've always had a soft spot for Liz Phair. I even loved her overproduced "Liz Phair" from 2003 (NYT: "she has committed an embarrassing form of career suicide."- www.nytimes.com...)
	♥ 5:15pm Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	♥ 5:16pm Jason from Houston: The woozy/screwed/distorted treatment is so lovely on this. Phew...
	5:17pm djsheilab: michael z + artbrau—It's great that she's still making records, even though I must admit that I abandoned her for awhile after "Exile." That NY Times quote is HARSH!
	5:18pm djsheilab: Jason from Houston—The new L'Rain is definitely up your street then!
	5:20pm Robm: @Gurlsoggie one of the things I find interesting is how derp the conversations can get at times and what kind of subjects c was n and will be discussed,and how knowledgeable the list mind is
	5:23pm listener Paul: How do you have such and excellent and beautiful show week after week?
	5:24pm Andrea Egert: Sheila B., that David Darling & the Wulu Bunun track was so transportingly beautiful - thank you for that one!
	♥ 5:25pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: on a short break from work/home and my cats and i are napping and listening to this set with a wind storm outside ... perfect cozy journey
	5:26pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—That sounds wonderfully cozy! Hello cats!
	5:27pm djsheilab: That's such a lovely comment, listener Paul. Thank you!
	5:27pm djsheilab: Andrea Egert—Glad you enjoyed!
	5:31pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: Doing some spreadsheet work to this, perfect soundtrack too!
	5:32pm MissG: SoSylvie, don't know if you are still here, in between Tstorms and power flickerings I popped in. Of course I'm sure you'll be happy if you listen to any of the streams on WFMU all day long, but for me in Richmond, I also enjoy the local aspect of low power FM radio WRIR. Can you receive where you are, 100.7? Maybe for local stuff. . .http://www.athensrock.com/
	♥ 5:32pm Passaic River Blues: This is reminding me of segments from an Andy Weatherall ambient house mixtape from 1995 that I lost long ago. That is to say, double-plus click-star.
	5:34pm djsheilab: Passaic River Blues—An Andy Weatherall mixtape! Must be beautiful.
	♥ 5:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Kept busy this afternoon setting up the reception hall in St. Croix, WI, for my niece's wedding. Hit up the local Wal-mart for some items afterwards. I think I counted ten masks amongst all the shoppers. Loving the international selections today! 🌐
	♥ 5:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): I love this deadly dub!
	♥ 5:35pm dreamyandseedy: this song reminds that i also finally saw Lover’s Rock and it was mesmerizing
	5:37pm MissG: dreamyandseedy, right? I have been telling everyone I know and I read all about the cinematographer. tim from cnoww, do you remember I mentioned a novel about a fictional female singer proto Afropunk? "Opal and Nev?" It was one of the best novels I've read from the past decade!
	5:38pm BH: there's a thunderstorm here, which is actually good as long as wind doesn't knock down any stuff (because I wasn't going outside anyways)
	♥ 5:40pm fred: It's a mystery to me why I love dub but dislike reggae I saw a live band for the first time since October yesterday! Enjoy!
	5:41pm Jett: My precious friend @DjSheilaB Please enjoy your party tonight. I'm happy to hear you're finally getting out to see some live entertainment. I'm pretty psyched out to be finally returning to the radio on the station I am on, in mid July. This show today just seemed much to short. Much love to you, and stay safe. ❤️
	♥ 5:43pm tim from champaign (now washington): Pph - I've been really curious about this Numero release.
	5:44pm Jett: Sounds a lot like "Love Can Make You Happy" by Mercy.
	♥ 5:44pm Passaic River Blues: Love the organ here.
	5:44pm Joey: Gotta run and get my daughter Jess! Have a great weekend Sheila and thanks for a fantastic show!! Take care friends!!
	5:45pm P-90: Well this is dripping with 1970 vibes...
	5:45pm headcleaner: @ncjay - it was nice of you to write to Flora Purim while she was in jail. From an NYT article about her time there: “For the first three months I was scared and always looking over my shoulders,”she said. “And after that time I really became an inmate of that place. When I went to jail I wasn't even using drugs but within a few weeks I learned everything there is to know about heroin. I would have to guess that 90 percent of the prisoners used heroin inside that jail. Three girls on my tier took overdoses and I learned how to pump their hearts to tty to get them going again. Then I would have to go back to my cell and lie down and fly off into my head simply so I would not mad. “What kept me going? Partly the knowledge of what could do after I got out, but most of all the letters. In the 18 months I was in the jail I got 10,000 letters, from Europe and Japan, all over the world. They gave me the hope I needed to live through this thing. At least that part of it was beautiful.”
	♥ 5:45pm p/b: big love Sheila and everyone else, going thru it but love is love just got to plug in that's the theory true like gravity
	5:46pm EarlyMorningInSeoul: I'm a sucker for that organ sound🎵
	♥ 5:47pm tim from champaign (now washington): Me too EarlyMorningInSOul.!
	♥ 5:48pm chresti: fred, you dislike all reggae except dub? Or certain types more than other types of reggae?
	5:48pm djsheilab: p/b—Thanks for the love!
	♥ 5:50pm tim from champaign (now washington): Yes!!!! Great choice for the occasional man!
	5:51pm Jett: I still play this Smiths song often at my house. Love the haunting intro.
	♥ 5:51pm fred: @chresti: I don't know enough to tell, honestly. I guess it's a spectrum, I don't know whether I'd like a track or not before hearing it
	♥ 5:52pm squidbeak: Oof, I'm 15 again...
	♥ 5:52pm Gurldoggie: The opening chords of this Smiths song bring back SUCH memories. THANK GOODNESS I'll never have to be in high school again!
	5:52pm Campbell: The Smiths - the most important band of the 1980s?
	5:54pm ncjay: no
	♥ 5:54pm Guido from Cologne: This is the first time of my life I actually enjoy a Smith's song ....
	5:54pm Andrea Egert: Ahhh - I hope one day Morrisey wakes up in full possession of the kind of compassion he had earlier in is life...
	5:55pm Jett: When I was in high school, I was the guy that turned my friends on to The Sex Pistols, The Dictators, The Ramones, Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe, The Damned, Motorhead, etc...
	5:55pm MissG: (ah, j'adore Mylène!) Thank you Sheila B, loved last week's show on archive, so looking forward to your interviews, have a FAB TIME at the live gig, so happy for you! (not "envious," but hoping I get to do that too soon!)
	5:56pm Campbell: I tried to turn friends onto The Ramones and it didn't go well.
	5:56pm Jett: The greatest treasure on the radio airwaves = @DjSheilaB. Nobody comes close.
	♥ 5:57pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Sheila! :)
	5:58pm ncjay: enjoyed the show this week as always, Sheila - thanks, and hope to hear you next week.
	♥ 5:58pm Michael 98145: Oui, Mylène! Merci, DJ Sheila
	5:58pm heartcore: Sheila rockz!
	5:59pm Jett: @Campbell Some friends hated the Ramones. I told them, well I like them, and they will be very BIG. I remember seeing them open up for Blue Oyster Cult and the Ramones not getting the friendliest of reception.
	♥ 5:59pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Ms. B.
	♥ 5:59pm tim from champaign (now washington): O man, thanks for the great sow, Sheila! You rule!
