	4:10pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "On A Roll (In The Cold)" by "Leftwich" love this
	4:11pm Joe in Bushwick: Wow the Friday Strawberry Switchblade really hits different…
	4:14pm wind: Thank you ♥️
	🥀 4:14pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "Sunny" by "Chris Montez" I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I don't think there's ever been a bad rendition of this song. It's just too good to do badly!
	4:17pm herb.nyc: “Sunny” by Bobby Hebb. He died the same year as Alex Chilton and both were in nytimes Lives They Lived wrap up. Nice back story. But sad. Oh, hi Mona and all!
	4:17pm Paul Szepesvary: WOW! Thanks Mona...I've got a big smile on my face...You made my day!! Thanks for squeezing STRAWBERRY SWITCHBLADE into your show!♥️
	🥀 4:19pm winston legthigh: love the napoleon dynamite gif!
	🥀 4:19pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Lovers Rock" by "TV Girl" Love this and I heard it only just now!
	4:20pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Lovers Rock" by "TV Girl" moi aussi !
	4:20pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Lana in Bucksom County @4:07 You said it all !!
	🥀 4:20pm Niall: ↳ Song: "Lovers Rock" by "TV Girl" I've always liked this song.
	🥀 4:21pm Karl Ward: Now I want to know what a French exit is
	🥀 4:22pm Karl Ward: Is it like a French door, an exit with zero privacy?
	🥀 4:24pm Niall: ↳ Karl Ward @4:21 It's what we Irish people call an "Irish Goodbye." A regular goodbye in Ireland is just a goodbye.
	4:24pm Carmichael: Different than an Irish exit, fer sure
	🥀 4:24pm Niall: Though the Brits use "French exit" for the same phenomenon, too.
	4:25pm Carmichael: Irish exit, you sneak out the back. Like you were never there ...
	🥀 4:25pm Niall: ↳ Carmichael @4:25 Sure, same thing.
	🥀 4:27pm Niall: ↳ Niall @4:24 Should rephrase this - it's the term in Ireland for what Americans call an "Irish Goodbye."
	4:27pm Mona: it's the opposite of an iranian exit, where you have to say goodbye to every single person at the party...or at least that's how my mom always did it...took at least an hour lol
	🥀 4:28pm Niall: ↳ Mona @4:27 /brutal/
	4:28pm Marie: For a while, I thought an Irish goodbye was when you keep saying goodbye but then bring up one more thing, and on and on (never heard the phrase until the last few years)
	4:30pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "Even Though" by "Holy Magick" Never heard this before. Love it
	4:30pm KingOfJunk: Nice mixing
	🥀 4:30pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mona @4:27 yikes! "i'll be outside finishing up a pack of smokes, mom."
	4:30pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My wife says the "Belorussian Goodbye" is " pierdolić" which means F U in Polish.
	🥀 4:30pm Niall: ↳ Marie @4:28 That's definitely an experience here. Some auld fella talking to the cashier, steadfastly ignorant of the growing queue behind him.
	🥀 4:31pm Karl Ward: As opposed to the Southern exit, which is where you say you're going to go but then you talk about the humidity out there for another 45 minutes
	4:31pm brycepunk1: Sweet. I love this soundtrack.
	4:32pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Natural One" by "The Folk Implosion" I forgot that Lou Barlow did this!
	4:33pm SeanG: Kids
	4:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: KIDS was a messed up movie for sure. Hey, is anybody watching on Netflix The Lying World of Adults? 99 Posse perform a really great song in one of the episodes.
	4:34pm Wind: ↳ Mona @4:27 I can totally relate 🤣
	4:34pm Paul Szepesvary: You said it all !!
	4:34pm Destroit: Hi Mona and everyone. Glad to be here!
	4:40pm Marie: ↳ Niall @4:30 I could totally picture that @)
	4:42pm paddy in matawan: Great tunes!
	4:44pm Wind: ↳ Song: "Bearded Lady" by "Bot'Ox" Needing to blast this one is cleansing!
	🥀 4:46pm winston legthigh: going to get going. thanks mona. have a nice weekend everybody!
	🥀 4:47pm Niall: Oo, I remember when this Colder album came out. I played it so much.
	4:47pm Jeezuseffinchrist: OMG I LOVE COLDER!!! play Wrong Baby plleeaaasse
	🥀 4:47pm Niall: Twenty years, ugh.
	4:48pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Joe in Bushwick @4:11 Sorry Joe, but I put in the STRAWBERRY SWITCHBLADE request last night ... Apologize for upsetting the vibe!
	4:49pm Wind: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:48 I appreciate the request!
	4:55pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Wind @4:49 Thanks!
	4:55pm Bucky: I really love this mix today - thank you, Mona!
	🥀 5:00pm Handy Haversack: Congrats, Mona! I'm a couple months shy of seven years. It sucks! But you gotta do it.
	5:01pm northguineahills: oh bleed me sideways, i'm finally fuckin' free today. (and i missed two hours of mona)
	5:02pm Acid Cazh: Hey Mona, my wife and I are on day SIX of quitting smoking. Must be something in the air. WE CAN DO IT. ALL THREE OF US. I BELIEVE IN US.
	5:03pm Mona: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:00 AMAZING @handy and @acid! I BELIEVE IN US TOO
	5:04pm nidrian: Afternoon! This reminds me of the Blue Nile.
	5:04pm northguineahills: i quit smoking when i was 22. don't miss it. made the smoking ban in nyc easy....
	5:05pm listener 126464: That's great Mona, you can do it. 6.5 years for me.
	5:05pm Carmichael: That's the only vice I've never tried. Ridding myself of the others one by one. When I die, I'll be in perfect health.
	5:06pm northguineahills: When i saw john cale, when i was 20, it sounded like pub rock. a friend heckled him, "bring out your viola!". We ended up hooking up the band w/ some weed after the gig.
	5:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Angie" by "Bert Jansch" that bert jansch was sublime!
	5:15pm lawrence: Close Lobsters! One of my favorite C86 bands. Vastly underrated.
	🥀 5:16pm Niall: ↳ lawrence @5:15 Never knew them, but color me intrigued.
	5:16pm KG.585: I love fmu and all of yous
	5:17pm northguineahills: ↳ KG.585 @5:16 hey, i'm a yous! /and i heart wfmu and everyones!
	5:17pm lawrence: @niall check out "I Kiss the Flower in Bloom"
	5:22pm Phillippe: Gotta hop off, great show as always Ms. Mona! Have a great weekend everyone!
	🥀 5:23pm hollow: Good job on quitting smoking Mona. It's been 3 years for me. I started running last year for the first time in my life and was amazed what i could do after 30 years of smoking lol. Good luck to you!
	5:23pm northguineahills: laters, phillippe!
	🥀 5:24pm chris in the redwoods: back atcha, Phillippe!
	5:28pm Paul Szepesvary: LOVE this song !
	5:30pm Paul Szepesvary: (Gerry Read, that is!)
	5:31pm MG: I love both these last two songs! Frriiiiday!
	5:31pm northguineahills: ↳ hollow @5:23 that's so cool you can start running like that. you have some happy lungs!
	5:32pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I quit cold turkey in 1996 or so. I decided to not even LOOK at other smokers and removed the THOUGHT that people enjoyed smoking.
	🥀 5:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Next Friday will be 26 years lung cancer took my dear father away. Icky bad no fun.
	5:34pm love2laf: Fabulous show, thank you Mona, and you can do it! Just passed the 2 year mark, and shockingly I don't miss it. There's the occasional pang, but just a pang. Love the various national goodbyes, Germans start with host & hostess, and say goodbye to anyone they pass on their way to the door, but no detours for goodbyes to anyone off course.
	5:37pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This synth and drums sounds like 80's. Yet its 2021 with an album cover like Nagal used on Duran Duran. Wow. I wonder if they use period synths and other instruments?
	5:39pm love2laf: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:34 Pixie dust, it's hard to lose a parent, and time eases the pain, hope your good memories help to ease the loss
	🥀 5:40pm chris in the redwoods: i'm in the "quitting smoking's easy, i've done it hundreds of times" camp. keep up the good work, Mona and all. its worth the effort and sacrifice!
	5:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: The CRUSH wow, ALSO 80's sounding band. WOW. How cool is that?!
	5:42pm SeanG: all new bands that sound old
	5:45pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hard to believe the 80's were FORTY YEARS AGO. I was a teenager. Wow. Time flies.
	5:46pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:34 Your cheetah is dancing in perfect synch with THE CRUSH song that was just playing!
	5:46pm luka: R I K I
	5:46pm SeanG: @wild Neil did you ever get into breakdancing?
	🥀 5:48pm NickM: ↳ luka @5:46 This song has been living rent free in my brain for sooo looooong!
	5:48pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ SeanG @5:46 @Sean G-no, although I used to live in NYC in the 90's and witnessed dudes busking for money doing break dancing routines and robot dancing and stuff. I DO snowboard in my 50's and swim 2-3x a week.
	🥀 5:50pm NickM: ↳ Song: "Napoleon" by "RIKI" Sad Horse Girl song is amazing
	5:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: GREAT SHOW MONA! Suddenly Last Summer is a TOTALLY MEMORABLE song.

	5:52pm luka: ↳ NickM @5:48 both LPs rip

	5:53pm Midge: Excellent show once again Mona! Thank you
	🥀 5:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mona! K8 has a gig tonight at Gold Sounds in Bushwick, in case you're free. Stay strong! The dreams about smoking a single cigarette in one drag or eating a cigarette sandwich get somewhat less frequent.
	🥀 5:54pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Wind of Change (Russian version)" by "Scorpions" whoa!
	5:55pm SeanG: I think this song has quite a story
	🥀 5:55pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mona @5:53 deal! thanks, Mona! happy weekends, everyone!
	5:55pm luka: Klaus is here to usher in the weekend
	5:55pm Mona: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:54 lol handy, this is what i think of all day: pbs.twimg.com...
	5:55pm northguineahills: enjoy handy! say hello to k8 for me. should be fun!
	5:55pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Midge @5:53 May I echo those words?

	🥀 3:54pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" by "Missy Elliott" This took me back.
	3:56pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Mi-rgod @3:04 Ditto 100%
	4:02pm Ballpark Frank: YES! For the Ride show!!! Can’t wait! Saw them at City Gardens and the Marquee many years ago!

	4:10pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "On A Roll (In The Cold)" by "Leftwich" love this
	4:11pm Joe in Bushwick: Wow the Friday Strawberry Switchblade really hits different…
	4:14pm wind: Thank you ♥️
	🥀 4:14pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "Sunny" by "Chris Montez" I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I don't think there's ever been a bad rendition of this song. It's just too good to do badly!
	4:17pm herb.nyc: “Sunny” by Bobby Hebb. He died the same year as Alex Chilton and both were in nytimes Lives They Lived wrap up. Nice back story. But sad. Oh, hi Mona and all!
	4:17pm Paul Szepesvary: WOW! Thanks Mona...I've got a big smile on my face...You made my day!! Thanks for squeezing STRAWBERRY SWITCHBLADE into your show!♥️
	🥀 4:19pm winston legthigh: love the napoleon dynamite gif!
	🥀 4:19pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Lovers Rock" by "TV Girl" Love this and I heard it only just now!
	4:20pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Lovers Rock" by "TV Girl" moi aussi !
	4:20pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Lana in Bucksom County @4:07 You said it all !!
	🥀 4:20pm Niall: ↳ Song: "Lovers Rock" by "TV Girl" I've always liked this song.
	🥀 4:21pm Karl Ward: Now I want to know what a French exit is
	🥀 4:22pm Karl Ward: Is it like a French door, an exit with zero privacy?
	🥀 4:24pm Niall: ↳ Karl Ward @4:21 It's what we Irish people call an "Irish Goodbye." A regular goodbye in Ireland is just a goodbye.
	4:24pm Carmichael: Different than an Irish exit, fer sure
	🥀 4:24pm Niall: Though the Brits use "French exit" for the same phenomenon, too.
	4:25pm Carmichael: Irish exit, you sneak out the back. Like you were never there ...
	🥀 4:25pm Niall: ↳ Carmichael @4:25 Sure, same thing.
	🥀 4:27pm Niall: ↳ Niall @4:24 Should rephrase this - it's the term in Ireland for what Americans call an "Irish Goodbye."
	4:27pm Mona: it's the opposite of an iranian exit, where you have to say goodbye to every single person at the party...or at least that's how my mom always did it...took at least an hour lol
	🥀 4:28pm Niall: ↳ Mona @4:27 /brutal/
	4:28pm Marie: For a while, I thought an Irish goodbye was when you keep saying goodbye but then bring up one more thing, and on and on (never heard the phrase until the last few years)
	4:30pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "Even Though" by "Holy Magick" Never heard this before. Love it
	4:30pm KingOfJunk: Nice mixing
	🥀 4:30pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mona @4:27 yikes! "i'll be outside finishing up a pack of smokes, mom."
	4:30pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My wife says the "Belorussian Goodbye" is " pierdolić" which means F U in Polish.
	🥀 4:30pm Niall: ↳ Marie @4:28 That's definitely an experience here. Some auld fella talking to the cashier, steadfastly ignorant of the growing queue behind him.
	🥀 4:31pm Karl Ward: As opposed to the Southern exit, which is where you say you're going to go but then you talk about the humidity out there for another 45 minutes
	4:31pm brycepunk1: Sweet. I love this soundtrack.
	4:32pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Natural One" by "The Folk Implosion" I forgot that Lou Barlow did this!
	4:33pm SeanG: Kids
	4:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: KIDS was a messed up movie for sure. Hey, is anybody watching on Netflix The Lying World of Adults? 99 Posse perform a really great song in one of the episodes.
	4:34pm Wind: ↳ Mona @4:27 I can totally relate 🤣
	4:34pm Paul Szepesvary: You said it all !!
	4:34pm Destroit: Hi Mona and everyone. Glad to be here!
	4:40pm Marie: ↳ Niall @4:30 I could totally picture that @)
	4:42pm paddy in matawan: Great tunes!
	4:44pm Wind: ↳ Song: "Bearded Lady" by "Bot'Ox" Needing to blast this one is cleansing!

	🥀 4:47pm Niall: Oo, I remember when this Colder album came out. I played it so much.
	4:47pm Jeezuseffinchrist: OMG I LOVE COLDER!!! play Wrong Baby plleeaaasse
	🥀 4:47pm Niall: Twenty years, ugh.
	4:48pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Joe in Bushwick @4:11 Sorry Joe, but I put in the STRAWBERRY SWITCHBLADE request last night ... Apologize for upsetting the vibe!
	4:49pm Wind: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:48 I appreciate the request!
	4:55pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Wind @4:49 Thanks!
	4:55pm Bucky: I really love this mix today - thank you, Mona!
	🥀 5:00pm Handy Haversack: Congrats, Mona! I'm a couple months shy of seven years. It sucks! But you gotta do it.
	5:01pm northguineahills: oh bleed me sideways, i'm finally fuckin' free today. (and i missed two hours of mona)
	5:02pm Acid Cazh: Hey Mona, my wife and I are on day SIX of quitting smoking. Must be something in the air. WE CAN DO IT. ALL THREE OF US. I BELIEVE IN US.
	5:03pm Mona: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:00 AMAZING @handy and @acid! I BELIEVE IN US TOO
	5:04pm nidrian: Afternoon! This reminds me of the Blue Nile.
	5:04pm northguineahills: i quit smoking when i was 22. don't miss it. made the smoking ban in nyc easy....
	5:05pm listener 126464: That's great Mona, you can do it. 6.5 years for me.
	5:05pm Carmichael: That's the only vice I've never tried. Ridding myself of the others one by one. When I die, I'll be in perfect health.
	5:06pm northguineahills: When i saw john cale, when i was 20, it sounded like pub rock. a friend heckled him, "bring out your viola!". We ended up hooking up the band w/ some weed after the gig.
	5:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Angie" by "Bert Jansch" that bert jansch was sublime!
	5:15pm lawrence: Close Lobsters! One of my favorite C86 bands. Vastly underrated.
	🥀 5:16pm Niall: ↳ lawrence @5:15 Never knew them, but color me intrigued.
	5:16pm KG.585: I love fmu and all of yous
	5:17pm northguineahills: ↳ KG.585 @5:16 hey, i'm a yous! /and i heart wfmu and everyones!
	5:17pm lawrence: @niall check out "I Kiss the Flower in Bloom"
	5:22pm Phillippe: Gotta hop off, great show as always Ms. Mona! Have a great weekend everyone!
	🥀 5:23pm hollow: Good job on quitting smoking Mona. It's been 3 years for me. I started running last year for the first time in my life and was amazed what i could do after 30 years of smoking lol. Good luck to you!
	5:23pm northguineahills: laters, phillippe!
	🥀 5:24pm chris in the redwoods: back atcha, Phillippe!
	5:28pm Paul Szepesvary: LOVE this song !
	5:30pm Paul Szepesvary: (Gerry Read, that is!)
	5:31pm MG: I love both these last two songs! Frriiiiday!
	5:31pm northguineahills: ↳ hollow @5:23 that's so cool you can start running like that. you have some happy lungs!
	5:32pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I quit cold turkey in 1996 or so. I decided to not even LOOK at other smokers and removed the THOUGHT that people enjoyed smoking.
	🥀 5:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Next Friday will be 26 years lung cancer took my dear father away. Icky bad no fun.
	5:34pm love2laf: Fabulous show, thank you Mona, and you can do it! Just passed the 2 year mark, and shockingly I don't miss it. There's the occasional pang, but just a pang. Love the various national goodbyes, Germans start with host & hostess, and say goodbye to anyone they pass on their way to the door, but no detours for goodbyes to anyone off course.
	5:37pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This synth and drums sounds like 80's. Yet its 2021 with an album cover like Nagal used on Duran Duran. Wow. I wonder if they use period synths and other instruments?
	5:39pm love2laf: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:34 Pixie dust, it's hard to lose a parent, and time eases the pain, hope your good memories help to ease the loss
	🥀 5:40pm chris in the redwoods: i'm in the "quitting smoking's easy, i've done it hundreds of times" camp. keep up the good work, Mona and all. its worth the effort and sacrifice!
	5:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: The CRUSH wow, ALSO 80's sounding band. WOW. How cool is that?!
	5:42pm SeanG: all new bands that sound old
	5:45pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hard to believe the 80's were FORTY YEARS AGO. I was a teenager. Wow. Time flies.
	5:46pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:34 Your cheetah is dancing in perfect synch with THE CRUSH song that was just playing!
	5:46pm luka: R I K I
	5:46pm SeanG: @wild Neil did you ever get into breakdancing?
	🥀 5:48pm NickM: ↳ luka @5:46 This song has been living rent free in my brain for sooo looooong!
	5:48pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ SeanG @5:46 @Sean G-no, although I used to live in NYC in the 90's and witnessed dudes busking for money doing break dancing routines and robot dancing and stuff. I DO snowboard in my 50's and swim 2-3x a week.
	🥀 5:50pm NickM: ↳ Song: "Napoleon" by "RIKI" Sad Horse Girl song is amazing
	5:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: GREAT SHOW MONA! Suddenly Last Summer is a TOTALLY MEMORABLE song.

	5:53pm Midge: Excellent show once again Mona! Thank you
	🥀 5:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mona! K8 has a gig tonight at Gold Sounds in Bushwick, in case you're free. Stay strong! The dreams about smoking a single cigarette in one drag or eating a cigarette sandwich get somewhat less frequent.
	🥀 5:54pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Wind of Change (Russian version)" by "Scorpions" whoa!
	5:55pm SeanG: I think this song has quite a story
	🥀 5:55pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mona @5:53 deal! thanks, Mona! happy weekends, everyone!
