	3:03pm P-90: Konichiwa, Sheila-San!
	3:03pm The Contessa: Good evening, Sheila and SBBers everywhere!
	3:03pm βrian: This is not "Bye Bye Birdie"!
	3:03pm Evan From Seattle: Happy Friday everybody
	3:04pm chris: Ohio! Sexyshow(TM)!
	3:04pm listener james from westwood: Had a feeling that was Ann-Margret! How do, Sheila and all!
	3:04pm Adrian in London: We've got a friend who bunked off school at 15 to go to New York to meet Ann-Margret! Hello Sheila and Boom Boomers, by the way.
	3:05pm JakeGould: Hey.
	3:05pm KP: Hello, Sheila!
	3:05pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila and everyone!
	3:06pm The Contessa: John Cameron! No wonder it's wonderful!
	3:07pm djsheilab: Howdy partners! @Adrian in London Aren't you right on topic?! ; )
	3:07pm djsheilab: I thought of you for this one @The Contessa!
	3:08pm The Contessa: Thank you Sheila, I kind of hoped you did. Thanks!
	3:09pm βrian: Which were Liquid Sunshine? Weren't they the ones with the smiling sunbursts on each square — that sometimes reached across the perforations?
	3:11pm BadGuyZero: I apologize for my late arrival. I was watching "What's My Line?"
	3:12pm djsheilab: In the corner with the dunce's cap! @BadGuyZero
	3:12pm Gaylord Fields: @BadGuyZero: Alligator farmer, indeed!
	3:13pm BadGuyZero: HA!
	3:13pm geezerette: Hey Sheila B. & all in the Boom-Boom Room!
	3:17pm Adrian in London: Phew, that M83 cover is just atrocious. Lovely track though.
	3:17pm JakeGould: One doesn't just watch "What's My Line."
	3:19pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London the future of design! Almost as good as the London olympics logo!
	3:19pm Adrian in London: You can very easily go down a What's My Line wormhole on YouTube, especially if Salvador Dali or Judy Holliday's on it.
	3:19pm JakeGould: @AdrianinLondon: Yeah, it's like some Wonder Showzen reference.
	3:22pm Adrian in London: @JakeGould Not familiar with that. Reminds me of Itsy and Bitsy from Paperplay.
	3:22pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and fellow boomers. Time to start the weekend.
	3:23pm geezerette: Fruit Hats!
	3:24pm listener james from westwood: First time I've heard this Miranda cut outside that one M-G-M cartoon!
	3:26pm Evan From Seattle: Wow Madder Rose, haven't heard them in forever and a day. Good stuff.
	3:29pm riff randell: My BFF had his baby today. Holy S*#T
	3:31pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: Allentown is the best record fair in the USA? Report to Room 17B for reprogramming immediately after your show!
	3:32pm BadGuyZero: Sheila's 2013 blog post about the Allentown Record Fair: www.chachacharming.com...
	3:33pm JakeGould: I'm happy he had his baby and not someone else's, Riff. That would have been awkward.
	3:33pm Ryab: Both good for the environment too.
	3:34pm riff randell: @JakeGould Yes. How uncomfortable.
	3:34pm βrian: All hail Onan!
	3:35pm listener james from westwood: The video for "She-Bop" makes the content pretty damn obvious; maybe they'd never seen it? Didn't get as much play as, say, "Girls Just..."
	3:35pm Jeff: Is Turning Japanese in this category? I remember hearing rumors that it was.
	3:35pm MONEYBAG$: The first time I heard that Crispin Glover song was while the family trimmed the Xmas tree. WOW was that uncomfortable.
	3:36pm Sir Slouch: Elvis Costello block stat
	3:36pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff, I had heard likewise but had never really seen the connection.
	3:36pm sweeks: There's actually a female-friendly sex shop here on the west coast called She-Bop.
	3:38pm Michael in Seattle: " I can't stop messin' with the danger zone "
	3:38pm Swan_Gone: Had to play-grade a record for work. What'd I miss?
	3:38pm βrian: @James: meaning that by that time you were already blind?
	3:39pm djsheilab: @Jeff Turning Japanese is definitely one of 'em!
	3:39pm Swan_Gone: Oh Onanism!
	3:40pm listener james from westwood: βrian: I just did it until I needed glasses.
	3:40pm Guido from Cologne: "Pictures Of Lily"? (The Who 1966)
	3:40pm JtotheK: good afternoon everyone.
	3:40pm JakeGould: @MichaelinSeattle: And Kenny Loggins "Top Gun" song "Danger Zone" was about dudebros going "Mano a Mano" in jets flying across the sky.
	3:41pm listener james from westwood: @sweeks: Portland? (Author whose sex-research book I'm reading had part of her tour there if so.)
	3:41pm andaloudog: Oh boy. Are we headed for Paul Anka?
	3:42pm listener james from westwood: More like Paul YANKA, amirite?
	3:42pm famous original sugarwolf: Stupid work! I missed Ann-Margret!
	3:42pm βrian: If you want something done right, you have to be ready to take matters into your own hands.
	3:42pm riff randell: OH GIRL YES. request for "my neck my back" by KHIA
	3:43pm Swan_Gone: Hat Trick!
	3:43pm JakeGould: Neil Diamond's "Shilo" was about masturbation, but it's really subtle.
	3:43pm person from Britain: surely "Paul Wanka"
	3:43pm andaloudog: @listenerjames Actually the song I was thinking of could have been avoided by such Yanka.
	3:43pm sweeks: @listener james, Yes the shop is in Portland. Probably Seattle too. It's a really nice shop actually!
	3:43pm Gaylord Fields: @listener james from westwood @person from Britain: Paul SPANKA also would have been deemed acceptable by the judges.
	3:44pm listener james from westwood: Tweet! Before her name became an SEO cipher owing to Twitter.
	3:44pm djsheilab: Is there really a masturbation song by PAUL ANKA??!!!
	3:44pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: "I did it my way!"
	3:45pm Michael in Seattle: @sweeks, the shop is Babes in Toyland here in Sea Wash
	3:46pm JakeGould: Paul Anka sang "Put Your Head on My Shoulder." Obvs.
	3:46pm famous original sugarwolf: @listenerjames: are you reading Emily Nagoski?
	3:46pm Michael in Seattle: ... or "was" ... it's Babeland now.
	3:47pm listener james from westwood: @famous original: YES! "Come As You Are!"
	3:47pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Sheila & all! Me are DEVO.
	3:47pm JakeGould: It's "Toys in Babeland." Then it just became "Babeland." Obvs.
	3:48pm tomasz.: basically every big pop hit is secretly about either masturbation or doing heroin. "Turning Japanese", "Perfect Day", "Golden Brown", "Louie Louie"...
	3:48pm βrian: So is it Tweet or is it Twɘet?
	3:48pm listener james from westwood: @sweeks: I was in Portland just last week and would love to go back. It doesn't surprise me that it has a nice sex shop, too.
	3:49pm Gaylord Fields: @tomasz: Or, in the case of "Brown Sugar," it's about both.
	3:50pm steveo: Or this one, apparently.
	3:51pm JakeGould: Men Without Hats? Safety Dance? Duh.
	3:51pm burpage: engelbert humperdinck please release me
	3:51pm famous original sugarwolf: @listenerjames: did you listen to the Smart Bitches podcast? My favorite part is the scientists researching the effects of stress by making mice listen to Iggy Pop.
	3:52pm steveo: Okay, so the Violent Femmes one is the first one where I'm like REALLY? (I mean, wet dreams, sure....)
	3:54pm listener james from westwood: @famous original: Tabbed for later consumption; thanks! I want to meet the mice who grooved to the Pop. They are my people.
	3:54pm Swan_Gone: STL Pervs REPRESENT!
	3:54pm tomasz.: BEST IN SHOW
	3:55pm tomasz.: good old single entendres
	3:55pm Sir Slouch: It was a sad day when the Violent femmes got replaced by jane's Addiction at semi-respectable college parties
	3:57pm listener james from westwood: Sir Slouch: Ugh, yes. Next-door neighbor used to wake up by BLASTING his copy "Nothing's Shocking" thru a Marshall amp. Ought to have been a law.
	3:57pm listener james from westwood: ::Principal Skinner hustles Chuck off the stage in a huff::
	3:57pm Cooh John: I may have to change my phraseology since I am usually bopping around the room when I listen to Sophisticated Boom Boom.
	3:58pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: Okay, “My Ding a Ling?” Masturbation? I appreciate your dorky take on music… Also, Chuck Berry got a crowd to sing with him!
	3:58pm Gaylord Fields: That set was Unsophisticated Boom Boom!
	3:58pm tomasz.: can't wait for the abortion set
	3:59pm JakeGould: “The Abortion Set” is my favorite underrated Factory Records artist.
	3:59pm Sir Slouch: Chuck's only number one,so to speak
	3:59pm chris: yay for masturbation! fun and healthy! if your religion or tribe says otherwise... dump em!
	4:00pm Guido from Cologne: "My Ding a Ling" was by dave Bartholomew, right? Anyway I have a version by him.
	4:01pm JakeGould: What’s a gagortion? www.youtube.com...
	4:01pm tomasz.: oh this is gonna be good
	4:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: This is approaching near–McGasko levels of theme-weaving…
	4:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Jake: ULTIMATE BLOOPER
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: @Guido from Cologne: Dave Bartholomew's original was released under the name "Toy Bell" — Chuck rewrote it considerably.
	4:02pm βrian: Have you heard the phrase "Dating Miss Michigan?" Or "Mr Michigan," as far as that goes.
	4:02pm chris: oh you have to play "diary of an unborn child", sheilab! please please please! its so horrible!
	4:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, folks. Any sophisticates going on a road trip tonight? www.thehalfmoonhudson.com...
	4:03pm tomasz.: oh my gosh
	4:04pm Options: Surely Paul Anka is in the wings. ... And Amy Mann?
	4:04pm Ike: PJ Harvey had a song on the album White Chalk about abortion, if I'm not mistaken.
	4:04pm JakeGould: Geeez… I’m going to be eating soup right now during this set of abortion tunes. Awkward.
	4:04pm listener james from westwood: And this was a year before Roe v Wade, even!
	4:04pm tomasz.: abortion acrostic ballad! sure, why not?
	4:05pm Greg from ZONE 5: DID NOT know this Breeders joint was about abortion.
	4:05pm Evan From Seattle: Brick by Ben Folds Five i think was about an abortion. I'm trying to think of what else.
	4:06pm Nate K.: I'm intrigued by a new theory I just heard about "Ode to Billy Joe." Anyone else familiar with this?
	4:06pm listener james from westwood: @chris: Oh, Jesus, that one. I actually came across a pamphlet version of that as a kid b/c some churchie left it in the cereal aisle of the local market, well before I heard it on Irwin's Incorrect Music Hour. Irony: Abortion song by the Breeders.
	4:06pm ?: Cat Power's Nude as the News is another abortion related song
	4:06pm Guido from Cologne: @Gaylord On my copy of Bartholomew album "Jump Children" it is called it is called "Little Girl sing Ding A Ling". OK, this changes the topic a little bit.
	4:06pm JakeGould: @GregfromZONE5: Little Richard’s “Rip it Up?” Totally about abortions.
	4:07pm mink: Do you still have to pay for abortions in the US or do you get them free?
	4:07pm chris: horrible. its just horrible, @listenerjames. and soooo good.
	4:07pm BadGuyZero: Slayer's "Silent Scream" is about abortion.
	4:08pm chris: depends on your healthcare plan, @mink.
	4:08pm JakeGould: @mink: If you don’t use up your yearly allotment of abortions in the U.S. by the end of the year, they don’t roll over into the next so it’s in your best interest to have as many abortions as possible before the end of each calendar year. I just did my taxes; I know what I’m talking about.
	4:09pm steveo: Pete Seeger's half sister.
	4:09pm listener james from westwood: @mink: If your employer's religious, likely no chance of getting them to pay via health plan, thankyouveryMUCH, Hobby Lobby.
	4:10pm listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: Just laughed til I choked at that comment. Well done.
	4:10pm famous original sugarwolf: Ha ha ha free abortions ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
	4:10pm chris: i think you can gift them, @JakeGould... use form 5948-9.
	4:10pm Swan_Gone: This song rules!
	4:10pm mink: Ah okay. I only learnt recently that it is still illegal in Ireland... I saw this awful documentary awhile back showing how ppl have to fly over to the UK to get secret abortions, awful stuff :(
	4:11pm JakeGould: @chris: That’s only if you have a shell company in the Cayman Islands.
	4:12pm chris: :-)
	4:12pm mink: @Jake, ahh I see :)
	4:12pm JakeGould: “How Can I Tell My Mom And Dad (That I Was Knocked Up and Need to Get an Abortion)”
	4:13pm famous original sugarwolf: Yeah they just recently arrested a woman in NI for buying drugs to induce an abortion. Turned in by her housemates!!!
	4:13pm mink: So the US must have a big backstreet abortion thing then? Like the olden days??! D:
	4:13pm mink: Or is "abstinence" actually a real thing that people do?
	4:14pm Swan_Gone: @mink Ireland's got some strange politics. Very progressive and conservative at the same time.
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: There are international aid programs that help Irish women travel for abortions, providing $ for travel, lodging, etc. Still a hard journey for them in many cases, aid or not. Fuckin' "Handmaid's Tale" situation up there. /endofrant
	4:14pm northguineahills: Arrrr! I missed Peggy Seeger!
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: @mink: Depends on who wins in November.
	4:14pm mink: @sugarwolf, holy crap I didn't know they were actually arresting people for that. God ireland is so backward
	4:15pm famous original sugarwolf: Even if it is legal, good luck finding some place to get one!
	4:15pm JakeGould: @mink: Northern Ireland… Catholicism… 21st Century… Nonsense… Makes me sick honestly.
	4:16pm mink: Altho, that said it was pretty inspiring they voted for marriage equality. So I guess there is an undercurrent of progress in Ireland
	4:17pm famous original sugarwolf: @mink: yeah, it's messed up :(
	4:17pm mink: the beginning of this song is putting me totally on edge, argh cringeeee
	4:17pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I was hoping you'd play this Jan Rhodes song (appropriately produced by Dick Hyman)!
	4:18pm mink: my bf's face is a total picture, hahahaaaa
	4:18pm Evan From Seattle: The Pope won't condone birth control because "it just feels better" without it.
	4:19pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: “Hyman… Dick Hymen…”
	4:20pm βrian: So anyway ... it's a left-handed geographical reference ...
	4:20pm mink: I just googled dick hymen and amazed that is a person
	4:21pm tomasz.: [chants] foetus set! foetus set!
	4:21pm MD: Don't forget the SEX PISTOLS!!!!
	4:21pm mink: hahahaha my god
	4:22pm ?: OMG! Breathing by Kate Bush!
	4:22pm chris: dang.
	4:23pm chris: sounds like an early Rush cover so far
	4:24pm JakeGould: DJs forcing themselves to play music they don’t like to fulfill an arbitrary theme is exactly why I listen to WFMU. Kudos, Sheila!
	4:24pm MD: But it's nice and warm and you can swim all day!!!
	4:24pm BadGuyZero: I don't have a cigarette lighter handy to wave in the air, so I'll just wave this wire hanger around instead.
	4:24pm listener james from westwood: Oh dear gods, this IS alarmingingly Alan Parsons–like. "The Turn of a Friendly Curette"?
	4:24pm tomasz.: more like the Alan Parsons Abject
	4:24pm JakeGould: @chris: Rush’s “Fly By Night?” About an abortion clinic.
	4:24pm MD: KICK A LOT!!!!
	4:25pm chalmers: Smart of Jan's record company to back it with "Chasin' Honey" to perk things up.
	4:25pm Nate K.: I don't know about you all, but this song has really made me rethink the issue.
	4:26pm mink: If my child turned out this whiney I'd wish I'd aborted
	4:26pm Swan_Gone: This is awful!
	4:26pm tomasz.: this sounds like something Clay would play to wind Fabio up
	4:26pm northguineahills: This has a Kenny G (the WFMU dj) awfulness to it!
	4:26pm mink: @Nate :D
	4:27pm βrian: I'm glad you didn't say offal.
	4:27pm listener james from westwood: Sheila, you can always shoot a couple of bux to NARAL as a sort of ethical carbon offset vs. the royalties Keaggy gets. Even out the scales.
	4:27pm MD: I DON'T WANT A BABY THAT SINGS LIKE THIS...SHE DON'T WANT A BABY THAT SINGS LIKE THIS!!!!!
	4:27pm Nate K.: @tomasz ha!
	4:27pm BadGuyZero: ABORT THIS SONG!
	4:27pm Nate K.: But what happened to the little dude!
	4:27pm Chud: Man, I heard that Little Markie record a while ago. Biggest train-record that I've heard
	4:28pm listener james from westwood: Abortion set: Aborted.
	4:28pm Evan From Seattle: A fitting end haha
	4:28pm JakeGould: Yeah, I take that back… No more of anything like Phil Keaggy. Jesus Christ does this guy stink.
	4:29pm northguineahills: james wins the comment for this set!
	4:29pm BadGuyZero: Sophisticated Womb Bomb
	4:29pm mink: A+ radio! But I'm not sure I could hack listening to this .. without the support of other listeners suffering around me..haha :)
	4:29pm JakeGould: Hey! The wiki page on songs about abortion Sheila just mentioned… en.wikipedia.org...
	4:30pm MD: Good Ol DICK...
	4:30pm JakeGould: @mink: Listener meetup?
	4:31pm listener james from westwood: Ahhh, just the chaser we need.
	4:31pm mink: @Jake dearie me. Tempting but also terrifying! (yes darling, thats right, I'm meeting a bunch of near strangers to enjoy communal abortion songs)
	4:31pm northguineahills: Thank Zarathustra, we need something not in English after that last song to bleach our brains....
	4:32pm andaloudog: Ah. Back to why we tune in to Boom Boom. Instead of Womb Broom.
	4:33pm Evan From Seattle: That set did make me nostalgic for Irwin's Incorrect Music show. But oh man.
	4:34pm MD: BOOOOM BOOM!!!
	4:34pm JakeGould: After those sets I have utterly no idea what “Shtiggy Boom” means. :/
	4:35pm listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: Reading this one as a self-love cut. The alternative sounds hazardous.
	4:37pm Marty Shane: Can't wait to get sophisticated in Hudson tomorrow night! Sh-Boom!
	4:37pm Evan From Seattle: I'm going to be playing "abortion or masturbation?" for every song from now until the end of the show.
	4:38pm listener james from westwood: "You Can Have Him": abortion.
	4:42pm Swan_Gone: Foolin?! You silly!
	4:42pm Dave in Vermont: Holy shit!
	4:42pm listener james from westwood: Do I hear 80s metal? Yes, yes I do. :) ::breaks out Dungeons & Dragons, Doritos::
	4:42pm the Master: Joe looked real hot in this video!
	4:43pm JakeGould: DEF LEPPARD!!!!!
	4:43pm BadGuyZero: This was back when their drummer still had two arms.
	4:44pm Dave in Vermont: @james; Atari or Intellivision?
	4:44pm djsheilab: Hopefully we're all fully cleansed of abortions now!
	4:44pm MONEYBAG$: sleeveless union jack shirts need to come back
	4:44pm djsheilab: @Swan_Gone Do you prefer "Rock Of Ages?"
	4:46pm MONEYBAG$: Please tell me Body Talk by Ratt is coming up
	4:46pm Dave in Vermont: Raise your hand if you had this Def Leppard on cassette.
	4:46pm Evan From Seattle: I saw Greg Dulli here a couple weeks ago, and at the start of Forty Dollars he talked about how a few years ago he figured out he could sing just about any song over the intro and it would work and started singing some Def Leppard. And it worked.
	4:47pm djsheilab: @MoneyBag$ I LOVE BODY TALK!!!! I'll bring it in another time.
	4:47pm JakeGould: @DaveinVermont: Bought it used on cassette from Titus Oaks Records on Avenue U near Ocean Avenue back in the 1980s. Now if anyone can feel that, we need to share 1980s Brooklyn record store notes.
	4:48pm mink: This is great. reminds me of the opening song from Ghost World! Really catchy
	4:50pm MONEYBAG$: high five Sheila
	4:51pm Guido from Cologne: the octupuss!!!!
	4:51pm listener james from westwood: @Dave in Vermont: I had the Atari, but one of my D&D buddies had Intellivision AND an Apple II. I hung there a lot.
	4:52pm listener james from westwood: @mink: There was a Shakira cut that that one also resembled; can't recall the title. Same beat and drive, tho'.
	4:54pm mink: O really... I was on a Shakira binge just a few nights ago :P She has a live album on spotify which is quite fun.
	4:54pm Dave in Vermont: @Jake: There was a record store in Ledgewood which is where I think I got it, though it's possible I got it at the Rockaway Mall or the record store in Hackettstown (owned by a guy who DJd on WNTI, which is where I think Joe Belcok got his start). @James: Atari so much cooler but Intellivision is what my dad bought me. Somehow I thought it was more elite; but really just less cool.
	4:59pm mink: Oh, btw.. this is probably ethically questionable but I found a spotify hack by accident. I cancelled my account.. but I still get the same service, because I listen thru firefox with an ad-blocker add-on, which blocks all the spotify ads! So.. that's good..
	5:07pm mink: poopie... aww bless the frenchies
	5:08pm Chud: Holy shit, the SpaceX drone ship landing worked!!!
	5:09pm listener james from westwood: Pardon me, do you have any Grey Pouppe?
	5:09pm Marcel M: YEEEEEEEE
	5:09pm listener james from westwood: Earrrrrrrtha!
	5:15pm JasonInBoston: Ahhhh there you go. Jason and Stacy music. Huge want. Is your copy the orange and magenta?
	5:16pm Gaylord Fields: Jersey City's own Jelly Beans!
	5:16pm BadGuyZero: According to Allmusic that Eartha Kitt single was originally released in 1954.
	5:17pm Gaylord Fields: @JasonInBoston: Also on my Want List, so watch it, bub!
	5:20pm djsheilab: @JasonInBoston: Yup, mine's orange + magenta. SUCH a gorgeous label!
	5:21pm djelrock: Any dj who plays anything from Pyromania is an awesome dj in my book.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Leader of the Pack has inhaled...
	5:23pm djsheilab: That is my favorite kinda compliment. Thank you @djelrock!
	5:25pm listener james from westwood: "I Love Seattle"! WFMU breakout hit!
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CourtneyLove on Grateful Dead album cover - anybody didn't know: novelactivist.com...
	5:27pm Evan From Seattle: I'm so happy for all the WFMU Tacocat love
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Give DefLepperd this: Bridging Metal & Pop worlds is not done successfully that often.
	5:29pm Jesse K: NBA ON NBC!
	5:29pm JtotheK: i think John Tesh did the NBA on NBC theme music.
	5:29pm BadGuyZero: Joe Elliott can dry his tears with 100 pound banknotes.
	5:30pm JtotheK: @Jesse K -- that confirms it, then!
	5:30pm Jesse K: Two JK's?
	5:30pm JtotheK: OH. MY.
	5:31pm Listener Robert: We got more than our quota of Kenny G over several years. Every couple or so years he stops by again to give us a reminder of how annoying WFMU can possibly become.
	5:31pm tomasz.: i have literally never heard of John Tesh. sort of intrigued
	5:31pm Evan From Seattle: Tesh did the NBA on NBC theme. Conan O'Brien did a hilarious bit of what happened anytime that theme played, and it was John Tesh sitting at a piano laughing like a maniac while dollar bills rained down on him. That bit alone made me think ok Tesh might be an ok guy.
	5:31pm Sir Slouch: Uncool songs on WFMU are like pennies at a quick stop. Take one and its fine, two is ok, three? get a job
	5:32pm MONEYBAG$: RR - Courtney is not really on that cover
	5:32pm JasonInBoston: The Kenny G stuff that's before his elevator music...got played heavily on R&B stations. Kashif on production. I liked a couple of those songs back in 1984. You've got Def Leppard, so...you know.
	5:34pm Julie: Britta's bond theme. I remember her first from being in Satisfaction!
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MBags: No! ...There is Kenneth Goldsmith the MetaPoet - & the Kenny G who plays Jazz w/ all the Jazz taken out...
	5:34pm Evan From Seattle: So Britta Phillips was the voice of Jem? That's awesome.
	5:34pm flashback: hello Sheila and fellow listeners.
	5:35pm Julie: Billy Joel is much-hated in FMU land.
	5:35pm Adrian in London: Oh, this Britta track is lovely. There were all sorts of limited 7s and so on for pledgers to the record.
	5:35pm Listener Robert: Oh, I don't think we meant THAT Kenny G, Jason. Also, this was in the context of those who voluntarily choose to listen to WFMU. People who are involuntarily exposed to it, like the head of my lab where I was 30 yrs. ago and would say "Turn that shit off!" after I had WFMU playing for 20-30 mins. at a time are another matter entirely.
	5:36pm Sir Slouch: Which Kenny G came first?
	5:37pm tomasz.: i assumed Sheila meant the wet saxophonist rather than the former FMU DJ but who knows
	5:37pm Listener Robert: I think we were referring as Rabbit was to the Kenny G who's at the U. of Penn. & nettled the White House over something a few yrs. ago.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...okay whatever : exposingcourtneylove.tumblr.com... ...she cray cray - but that was a good Hole rekkid.
	5:39pm Listener Robert: Many WFMU DJs blow off steam from time to time in the form of irritainment.
	5:43pm Julie: oooh new El Perro del Mar
	5:43pm Adrian in London: Oh, new El Perro?! Great!
	5:44pm djsheilab: I meant Kenny G--the beloved jazzman with that instrument that looks/ sounds like a sax-flute.
	5:44pm flashback: Sheila, I like the way you show the album covers with song titles.
	5:45pm mink: liked that last one a lot.. but I thought she was saying "we all come from the same belly button" ...
	5:46pm Smilty69: Are these still the abortion songs?
	5:46pm Guido from Cologne: fab album!
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...soprano sax...
	5:47pm Stutt: That Alice Donut was good.
	5:48pm Adrian in London: I chatted with Margo on Twitter a few years ago when she was around on there for a few months
	5:48pm MONEYBAG$: I was so bummed that Ride didn't play this when I saw them last year
	5:48pm Listener Robert: No, they're still birth songs. Hmm, that didn't seem to come out right.
	5:49pm JtotheK: @sheilab - you could also refer to him as 'the Kenny G who was in the guinness book of world records' (holding saxophone note related) ...
	5:49pm djsheilab: @Adrian WOW! What a class act she is! And songwriter!
	5:50pm Mandy: Sheila are you going to play some enka next time?
	5:50pm Adrian in London: She joined in 2010 and stopped in 2011! Have you seen the Sundazed rerelease of her album, in lovely clear purple swirly vinyl?
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is Overcast Sunshine Pop a Genre? Beautiful track. Somehow missed Ride in the day - impressed w/ them right away last year...
	5:51pm djsheilab: @Mandy Sure! I'll remember to bring something in next week.
	5:52pm Matt in Hillsborough: WHOA
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wouldn't you like to have seen Ozzy 1st time he heard this?
	5:52pm Fred R: The best Ozzie song ever. Happy Fiday Sheila!
	5:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Can't get to Allentown or Brooklyn for record fairs? I have just been informed there's a record fair in Poughkeepsie on April 23, 2016. www.wvkr.org...
	5:53pm drewo: Happy Friday Sheila. Thanks for the wonderful soundtrack. The new LP from Suede is v. good, if you've not yet given it a spin.
	5:53pm Fred R: Happy Friday Sheila!
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Suede !
	5:54pm Adrian in London: @RevRabbit I loved Ride when they were first around. I first saw them in a pub in Newcastle. For an encore they did Tomorrow Never Knows and at one point Mark walked out of a door while the band wigged out. The drama was lessened by most of us in the audience thinking' Why's he out there in the car park in Newcastle in February? He'll freeze to death!'
	5:54pm djsheilab: Happy Friday gang!
	5:54pm Evan From Seattle: Love this Charles Bradley track.
	5:55pm Marty Shane: Happy Friday, see you in Hudson!
	5:55pm Mandy: Thanks Sheila! I was at my favorite NYC izakaya last night and I can't get "Urami Bushi" out of my head....have a great week, y'all!
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Adrian: Ever occur to you Brits we Yanks hate yer guts for yer stories of seeing legendary bands before we did in tiny intimate clubs? Hehe...
	5:57pm Adrian in London: Ha ha, hate away, hate away! I'm seeing Holly Macve in a tiny club next week… ;-)
	5:57pm tomasz.: tbh this Brit's favourite bands are mostly American, so it works the other way too
	5:57pm The Contessa: Thanks Sheila, Have a great weekend everyone!
	5:57pm Jesse K: Thanks for the show Sheila!
	5:58pm Guido from Cologne: thanks & CU
	5:58pm Adrian in London: G'night Sheila! Thanks. x
	5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian/The Contessa - I received your email today, thanks. I'll respond when I have some free time.
	5:58pm tomasz.: great show Sheila, cheers!
	5:58pm Evan From Seattle: Thanks Sheila!
	5:59pm mink: cool stuff very fun thanks!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks for another sweet Friday afternoon, Sheila!
	5:59pm chris: thanks, Sheila!
	6:00pm Swan_Gone: Thumbs up! Show rocked!
	6:00pm listener james from westwood: huge thanks, sheila!
	6:00pm wheatdog: Bring on the weirdos!
	4:50am Matt in Nebraska: The Def Leppard stood out as the guiltiest pleasure I've ever heard on WFMU but it was redeemed by the righteousness of that Billie Davis number in the next set.
	6:05pm Marie: Hi! Your zine Plume influenced my exposure to music in the 90's...I love when you play songs from that time. I'd love a whole Plume focused playlist :)
	3:34am Matt in Nebraska: Now that I've had some time to digest it, I think that Def Leppard was more of an ironic stunt than a guilty pleasure.
	4:15am sirhclluk: That Bread and Butter song was amazing when I thought she was saying "We all come from the belly button".

	3:07pm djsheilab: I thought of you for this one @The Contessa!
	3:08pm The Contessa: Thank you Sheila, I kind of hoped you did. Thanks!
	3:09pm βrian: Which were Liquid Sunshine? Weren't they the ones with the smiling sunbursts on each square — that sometimes reached across the perforations?
	3:11pm BadGuyZero: I apologize for my late arrival. I was watching "What's My Line?"
	3:12pm djsheilab: In the corner with the dunce's cap! @BadGuyZero
	3:12pm Gaylord Fields: @BadGuyZero: Alligator farmer, indeed!
	3:13pm BadGuyZero: HA!
	3:13pm geezerette: Hey Sheila B. & all in the Boom-Boom Room!
	3:17pm Adrian in London: Phew, that M83 cover is just atrocious. Lovely track though.
	3:17pm JakeGould: One doesn't just watch "What's My Line."
	3:19pm djsheilab: @Adrian in London the future of design! Almost as good as the London olympics logo!
	3:19pm Adrian in London: You can very easily go down a What's My Line wormhole on YouTube, especially if Salvador Dali or Judy Holliday's on it.
	3:19pm JakeGould: @AdrianinLondon: Yeah, it's like some Wonder Showzen reference.
	3:22pm Adrian in London: @JakeGould Not familiar with that. Reminds me of Itsy and Bitsy from Paperplay.

	3:33pm JakeGould: I'm happy he had his baby and not someone else's, Riff. That would have been awkward.
	3:33pm Ryab: Both good for the environment too.
	3:34pm riff randell: @JakeGould Yes. How uncomfortable.
	3:34pm βrian: All hail Onan!
	3:35pm listener james from westwood: The video for "She-Bop" makes the content pretty damn obvious; maybe they'd never seen it? Didn't get as much play as, say, "Girls Just..."
	3:35pm Jeff: Is Turning Japanese in this category? I remember hearing rumors that it was.
	3:35pm MONEYBAG$: The first time I heard that Crispin Glover song was while the family trimmed the Xmas tree. WOW was that uncomfortable.
	3:36pm Sir Slouch: Elvis Costello block stat
	3:36pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff, I had heard likewise but had never really seen the connection.
	3:36pm sweeks: There's actually a female-friendly sex shop here on the west coast called She-Bop.
	3:38pm Michael in Seattle: " I can't stop messin' with the danger zone "
	3:38pm Swan_Gone: Had to play-grade a record for work. What'd I miss?
	3:38pm βrian: @James: meaning that by that time you were already blind?
	3:39pm djsheilab: @Jeff Turning Japanese is definitely one of 'em!
	3:39pm Swan_Gone: Oh Onanism!
	3:40pm listener james from westwood: βrian: I just did it until I needed glasses.
	3:40pm Guido from Cologne: "Pictures Of Lily"? (The Who 1966)
	3:40pm JtotheK: good afternoon everyone.
	3:40pm JakeGould: @MichaelinSeattle: And Kenny Loggins "Top Gun" song "Danger Zone" was about dudebros going "Mano a Mano" in jets flying across the sky.
	3:41pm listener james from westwood: @sweeks: Portland? (Author whose sex-research book I'm reading had part of her tour there if so.)
	3:41pm andaloudog: Oh boy. Are we headed for Paul Anka?
	3:42pm listener james from westwood: More like Paul YANKA, amirite?
	3:42pm famous original sugarwolf: Stupid work! I missed Ann-Margret!
	3:42pm βrian: If you want something done right, you have to be ready to take matters into your own hands.
	3:42pm riff randell: OH GIRL YES. request for "my neck my back" by KHIA
	3:43pm Swan_Gone: Hat Trick!
	3:43pm JakeGould: Neil Diamond's "Shilo" was about masturbation, but it's really subtle.
	3:43pm person from Britain: surely "Paul Wanka"
	3:43pm andaloudog: @listenerjames Actually the song I was thinking of could have been avoided by such Yanka.
	3:43pm sweeks: @listener james, Yes the shop is in Portland. Probably Seattle too. It's a really nice shop actually!
	3:43pm Gaylord Fields: @listener james from westwood @person from Britain: Paul SPANKA also would have been deemed acceptable by the judges.
	3:44pm listener james from westwood: Tweet! Before her name became an SEO cipher owing to Twitter.
	3:44pm djsheilab: Is there really a masturbation song by PAUL ANKA??!!!
	3:44pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: "I did it my way!"
	3:45pm Michael in Seattle: @sweeks, the shop is Babes in Toyland here in Sea Wash
	3:46pm JakeGould: Paul Anka sang "Put Your Head on My Shoulder." Obvs.
	3:46pm famous original sugarwolf: @listenerjames: are you reading Emily Nagoski?
	3:46pm Michael in Seattle: ... or "was" ... it's Babeland now.
	3:47pm listener james from westwood: @famous original: YES! "Come As You Are!"
	3:47pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Sheila & all! Me are DEVO.
	3:47pm JakeGould: It's "Toys in Babeland." Then it just became "Babeland." Obvs.
	3:48pm tomasz.: basically every big pop hit is secretly about either masturbation or doing heroin. "Turning Japanese", "Perfect Day", "Golden Brown", "Louie Louie"...
	3:48pm βrian: So is it Tweet or is it Twɘet?
	3:48pm listener james from westwood: @sweeks: I was in Portland just last week and would love to go back. It doesn't surprise me that it has a nice sex shop, too.
	3:49pm Gaylord Fields: @tomasz: Or, in the case of "Brown Sugar," it's about both.
	3:50pm steveo: Or this one, apparently.
	3:51pm JakeGould: Men Without Hats? Safety Dance? Duh.
	3:51pm burpage: engelbert humperdinck please release me
	3:51pm famous original sugarwolf: @listenerjames: did you listen to the Smart Bitches podcast? My favorite part is the scientists researching the effects of stress by making mice listen to Iggy Pop.
	3:52pm steveo: Okay, so the Violent Femmes one is the first one where I'm like REALLY? (I mean, wet dreams, sure....)
	3:54pm listener james from westwood: @famous original: Tabbed for later consumption; thanks! I want to meet the mice who grooved to the Pop. They are my people.
	3:54pm Swan_Gone: STL Pervs REPRESENT!
	3:54pm tomasz.: BEST IN SHOW
	3:55pm tomasz.: good old single entendres
	3:55pm Sir Slouch: It was a sad day when the Violent femmes got replaced by jane's Addiction at semi-respectable college parties
	3:57pm listener james from westwood: Sir Slouch: Ugh, yes. Next-door neighbor used to wake up by BLASTING his copy "Nothing's Shocking" thru a Marshall amp. Ought to have been a law.
	3:57pm listener james from westwood: ::Principal Skinner hustles Chuck off the stage in a huff::
	3:57pm Cooh John: I may have to change my phraseology since I am usually bopping around the room when I listen to Sophisticated Boom Boom.
	3:58pm JakeGould: @djsheilab: Okay, “My Ding a Ling?” Masturbation? I appreciate your dorky take on music… Also, Chuck Berry got a crowd to sing with him!
	3:58pm Gaylord Fields: That set was Unsophisticated Boom Boom!
	3:58pm tomasz.: can't wait for the abortion set
	3:59pm JakeGould: “The Abortion Set” is my favorite underrated Factory Records artist.
	3:59pm Sir Slouch: Chuck's only number one,so to speak
	3:59pm chris: yay for masturbation! fun and healthy! if your religion or tribe says otherwise... dump em!
	4:00pm Guido from Cologne: "My Ding a Ling" was by dave Bartholomew, right? Anyway I have a version by him.
	4:01pm JakeGould: What’s a gagortion? www.youtube.com...
	4:01pm tomasz.: oh this is gonna be good
	4:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: This is approaching near–McGasko levels of theme-weaving…
	4:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: @Jake: ULTIMATE BLOOPER
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: @Guido from Cologne: Dave Bartholomew's original was released under the name "Toy Bell" — Chuck rewrote it considerably.
	4:02pm βrian: Have you heard the phrase "Dating Miss Michigan?" Or "Mr Michigan," as far as that goes.
	4:02pm chris: oh you have to play "diary of an unborn child", sheilab! please please please! its so horrible!
	4:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, folks. Any sophisticates going on a road trip tonight? www.thehalfmoonhudson.com...
	4:03pm tomasz.: oh my gosh
	4:04pm Options: Surely Paul Anka is in the wings. ... And Amy Mann?
	4:04pm Ike: PJ Harvey had a song on the album White Chalk about abortion, if I'm not mistaken.
	4:04pm JakeGould: Geeez… I’m going to be eating soup right now during this set of abortion tunes. Awkward.
	4:04pm listener james from westwood: And this was a year before Roe v Wade, even!
	4:04pm tomasz.: abortion acrostic ballad! sure, why not?
	4:05pm Greg from ZONE 5: DID NOT know this Breeders joint was about abortion.
	4:05pm Evan From Seattle: Brick by Ben Folds Five i think was about an abortion. I'm trying to think of what else.
	4:06pm Nate K.: I'm intrigued by a new theory I just heard about "Ode to Billy Joe." Anyone else familiar with this?
	4:06pm listener james from westwood: @chris: Oh, Jesus, that one. I actually came across a pamphlet version of that as a kid b/c some churchie left it in the cereal aisle of the local market, well before I heard it on Irwin's Incorrect Music Hour. Irony: Abortion song by the Breeders.
	4:06pm ?: Cat Power's Nude as the News is another abortion related song
	4:06pm Guido from Cologne: @Gaylord On my copy of Bartholomew album "Jump Children" it is called it is called "Little Girl sing Ding A Ling". OK, this changes the topic a little bit.
	4:06pm JakeGould: @GregfromZONE5: Little Richard’s “Rip it Up?” Totally about abortions.
	4:07pm mink: Do you still have to pay for abortions in the US or do you get them free?
	4:07pm chris: horrible. its just horrible, @listenerjames. and soooo good.
	4:07pm BadGuyZero: Slayer's "Silent Scream" is about abortion.
	4:08pm chris: depends on your healthcare plan, @mink.
	4:08pm JakeGould: @mink: If you don’t use up your yearly allotment of abortions in the U.S. by the end of the year, they don’t roll over into the next so it’s in your best interest to have as many abortions as possible before the end of each calendar year. I just did my taxes; I know what I’m talking about.
	4:09pm steveo: Pete Seeger's half sister.
	4:09pm listener james from westwood: @mink: If your employer's religious, likely no chance of getting them to pay via health plan, thankyouveryMUCH, Hobby Lobby.
	4:10pm listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: Just laughed til I choked at that comment. Well done.
	4:10pm famous original sugarwolf: Ha ha ha free abortions ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
	4:10pm chris: i think you can gift them, @JakeGould... use form 5948-9.
	4:10pm Swan_Gone: This song rules!
	4:10pm mink: Ah okay. I only learnt recently that it is still illegal in Ireland... I saw this awful documentary awhile back showing how ppl have to fly over to the UK to get secret abortions, awful stuff :(
	4:11pm JakeGould: @chris: That’s only if you have a shell company in the Cayman Islands.
	4:12pm chris: :-)
	4:12pm mink: @Jake, ahh I see :)
	4:12pm JakeGould: “How Can I Tell My Mom And Dad (That I Was Knocked Up and Need to Get an Abortion)”
	4:13pm famous original sugarwolf: Yeah they just recently arrested a woman in NI for buying drugs to induce an abortion. Turned in by her housemates!!!
	4:13pm mink: So the US must have a big backstreet abortion thing then? Like the olden days??! D:
	4:13pm mink: Or is "abstinence" actually a real thing that people do?
	4:14pm Swan_Gone: @mink Ireland's got some strange politics. Very progressive and conservative at the same time.
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: There are international aid programs that help Irish women travel for abortions, providing $ for travel, lodging, etc. Still a hard journey for them in many cases, aid or not. Fuckin' "Handmaid's Tale" situation up there. /endofrant
	4:14pm northguineahills: Arrrr! I missed Peggy Seeger!
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: @mink: Depends on who wins in November.
	4:14pm mink: @sugarwolf, holy crap I didn't know they were actually arresting people for that. God ireland is so backward
	4:15pm famous original sugarwolf: Even if it is legal, good luck finding some place to get one!
	4:15pm JakeGould: @mink: Northern Ireland… Catholicism… 21st Century… Nonsense… Makes me sick honestly.
	4:16pm mink: Altho, that said it was pretty inspiring they voted for marriage equality. So I guess there is an undercurrent of progress in Ireland
	4:17pm famous original sugarwolf: @mink: yeah, it's messed up :(
	4:17pm mink: the beginning of this song is putting me totally on edge, argh cringeeee
	4:17pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I was hoping you'd play this Jan Rhodes song (appropriately produced by Dick Hyman)!
	4:18pm mink: my bf's face is a total picture, hahahaaaa
	4:18pm Evan From Seattle: The Pope won't condone birth control because "it just feels better" without it.
	4:19pm JakeGould: @GaylordFields: “Hyman… Dick Hymen…”
	4:20pm βrian: So anyway ... it's a left-handed geographical reference ...
	4:20pm mink: I just googled dick hymen and amazed that is a person
	4:21pm tomasz.: [chants] foetus set! foetus set!
	4:21pm MD: Don't forget the SEX PISTOLS!!!!
	4:21pm mink: hahahaha my god
	4:22pm ?: OMG! Breathing by Kate Bush!
	4:22pm chris: dang.
	4:23pm chris: sounds like an early Rush cover so far
	4:24pm JakeGould: DJs forcing themselves to play music they don’t like to fulfill an arbitrary theme is exactly why I listen to WFMU. Kudos, Sheila!
	4:24pm MD: But it's nice and warm and you can swim all day!!!
	4:24pm BadGuyZero: I don't have a cigarette lighter handy to wave in the air, so I'll just wave this wire hanger around instead.
	4:24pm listener james from westwood: Oh dear gods, this IS alarmingingly Alan Parsons–like. "The Turn of a Friendly Curette"?
	4:24pm tomasz.: more like the Alan Parsons Abject
	4:24pm JakeGould: @chris: Rush’s “Fly By Night?” About an abortion clinic.
	4:24pm MD: KICK A LOT!!!!
	4:25pm chalmers: Smart of Jan's record company to back it with "Chasin' Honey" to perk things up.
	4:25pm Nate K.: I don't know about you all, but this song has really made me rethink the issue.
	4:26pm mink: If my child turned out this whiney I'd wish I'd aborted
	4:26pm Swan_Gone: This is awful!
	4:26pm tomasz.: this sounds like something Clay would play to wind Fabio up
	4:26pm northguineahills: This has a Kenny G (the WFMU dj) awfulness to it!
	4:26pm mink: @Nate :D
	4:27pm βrian: I'm glad you didn't say offal.
	4:27pm listener james from westwood: Sheila, you can always shoot a couple of bux to NARAL as a sort of ethical carbon offset vs. the royalties Keaggy gets. Even out the scales.
	4:27pm MD: I DON'T WANT A BABY THAT SINGS LIKE THIS...SHE DON'T WANT A BABY THAT SINGS LIKE THIS!!!!!
	4:27pm Nate K.: @tomasz ha!
	4:27pm BadGuyZero: ABORT THIS SONG!
	4:27pm Nate K.: But what happened to the little dude!
	4:27pm Chud: Man, I heard that Little Markie record a while ago. Biggest train-record that I've heard
	4:28pm listener james from westwood: Abortion set: Aborted.
	4:28pm Evan From Seattle: A fitting end haha
	4:28pm JakeGould: Yeah, I take that back… No more of anything like Phil Keaggy. Jesus Christ does this guy stink.
	4:29pm northguineahills: james wins the comment for this set!
	4:29pm BadGuyZero: Sophisticated Womb Bomb
	4:29pm mink: A+ radio! But I'm not sure I could hack listening to this .. without the support of other listeners suffering around me..haha :)
	4:29pm JakeGould: Hey! The wiki page on songs about abortion Sheila just mentioned… en.wikipedia.org...
	4:30pm MD: Good Ol DICK...
	4:30pm JakeGould: @mink: Listener meetup?
	4:31pm listener james from westwood: Ahhh, just the chaser we need.
	4:31pm mink: @Jake dearie me. Tempting but also terrifying! (yes darling, thats right, I'm meeting a bunch of near strangers to enjoy communal abortion songs)
	4:31pm northguineahills: Thank Zarathustra, we need something not in English after that last song to bleach our brains....
	4:32pm andaloudog: Ah. Back to why we tune in to Boom Boom. Instead of Womb Broom.
	4:33pm Evan From Seattle: That set did make me nostalgic for Irwin's Incorrect Music show. But oh man.
	4:34pm MD: BOOOOM BOOM!!!
	4:34pm JakeGould: After those sets I have utterly no idea what “Shtiggy Boom” means. :/
	4:35pm listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: Reading this one as a self-love cut. The alternative sounds hazardous.
	4:37pm Marty Shane: Can't wait to get sophisticated in Hudson tomorrow night! Sh-Boom!
	4:37pm Evan From Seattle: I'm going to be playing "abortion or masturbation?" for every song from now until the end of the show.
	4:38pm listener james from westwood: "You Can Have Him": abortion.
	4:42pm Swan_Gone: Foolin?! You silly!
	4:42pm Dave in Vermont: Holy shit!
	4:42pm listener james from westwood: Do I hear 80s metal? Yes, yes I do. :) ::breaks out Dungeons & Dragons, Doritos::
	4:42pm the Master: Joe looked real hot in this video!
	4:43pm JakeGould: DEF LEPPARD!!!!!
	4:43pm BadGuyZero: This was back when their drummer still had two arms.
	4:44pm Dave in Vermont: @james; Atari or Intellivision?
	4:44pm djsheilab: Hopefully we're all fully cleansed of abortions now!
	4:44pm MONEYBAG$: sleeveless union jack shirts need to come back
	4:44pm djsheilab: @Swan_Gone Do you prefer "Rock Of Ages?"
	4:46pm MONEYBAG$: Please tell me Body Talk by Ratt is coming up
	4:46pm Dave in Vermont: Raise your hand if you had this Def Leppard on cassette.
	4:46pm Evan From Seattle: I saw Greg Dulli here a couple weeks ago, and at the start of Forty Dollars he talked about how a few years ago he figured out he could sing just about any song over the intro and it would work and started singing some Def Leppard. And it worked.
	4:47pm djsheilab: @MoneyBag$ I LOVE BODY TALK!!!! I'll bring it in another time.
	4:47pm JakeGould: @DaveinVermont: Bought it used on cassette from Titus Oaks Records on Avenue U near Ocean Avenue back in the 1980s. Now if anyone can feel that, we need to share 1980s Brooklyn record store notes.
	4:48pm mink: This is great. reminds me of the opening song from Ghost World! Really catchy
	4:50pm MONEYBAG$: high five Sheila
	4:51pm Guido from Cologne: the octupuss!!!!
	4:51pm listener james from westwood: @Dave in Vermont: I had the Atari, but one of my D&D buddies had Intellivision AND an Apple II. I hung there a lot.
	4:52pm listener james from westwood: @mink: There was a Shakira cut that that one also resembled; can't recall the title. Same beat and drive, tho'.
	4:54pm mink: O really... I was on a Shakira binge just a few nights ago :P She has a live album on spotify which is quite fun.
	4:54pm Dave in Vermont: @Jake: There was a record store in Ledgewood which is where I think I got it, though it's possible I got it at the Rockaway Mall or the record store in Hackettstown (owned by a guy who DJd on WNTI, which is where I think Joe Belcok got his start). @James: Atari so much cooler but Intellivision is what my dad bought me. Somehow I thought it was more elite; but really just less cool.
	4:59pm mink: Oh, btw.. this is probably ethically questionable but I found a spotify hack by accident. I cancelled my account.. but I still get the same service, because I listen thru firefox with an ad-blocker add-on, which blocks all the spotify ads! So.. that's good..
	5:07pm mink: poopie... aww bless the frenchies
	5:08pm Chud: Holy shit, the SpaceX drone ship landing worked!!!
	5:09pm listener james from westwood: Pardon me, do you have any Grey Pouppe?
	5:09pm Marcel M: YEEEEEEEE
	5:09pm listener james from westwood: Earrrrrrrtha!
	5:15pm JasonInBoston: Ahhhh there you go. Jason and Stacy music. Huge want. Is your copy the orange and magenta?
	5:16pm Gaylord Fields: Jersey City's own Jelly Beans!
	5:16pm BadGuyZero: According to Allmusic that Eartha Kitt single was originally released in 1954.
	5:17pm Gaylord Fields: @JasonInBoston: Also on my Want List, so watch it, bub!
	5:20pm djsheilab: @JasonInBoston: Yup, mine's orange + magenta. SUCH a gorgeous label!
	5:21pm djelrock: Any dj who plays anything from Pyromania is an awesome dj in my book.
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Leader of the Pack has inhaled...
	5:23pm djsheilab: That is my favorite kinda compliment. Thank you @djelrock!
	5:25pm listener james from westwood: "I Love Seattle"! WFMU breakout hit!
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CourtneyLove on Grateful Dead album cover - anybody didn't know: novelactivist.com...
	5:27pm Evan From Seattle: I'm so happy for all the WFMU Tacocat love
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Give DefLepperd this: Bridging Metal & Pop worlds is not done successfully that often.
	5:29pm Jesse K: NBA ON NBC!
	5:29pm JtotheK: i think John Tesh did the NBA on NBC theme music.
	5:29pm BadGuyZero: Joe Elliott can dry his tears with 100 pound banknotes.
	5:30pm JtotheK: @Jesse K -- that confirms it, then!
	5:30pm Jesse K: Two JK's?
	5:30pm JtotheK: OH. MY.
	5:31pm Listener Robert: We got more than our quota of Kenny G over several years. Every couple or so years he stops by again to give us a reminder of how annoying WFMU can possibly become.
	5:31pm tomasz.: i have literally never heard of John Tesh. sort of intrigued
	5:31pm Evan From Seattle: Tesh did the NBA on NBC theme. Conan O'Brien did a hilarious bit of what happened anytime that theme played, and it was John Tesh sitting at a piano laughing like a maniac while dollar bills rained down on him. That bit alone made me think ok Tesh might be an ok guy.
	5:31pm Sir Slouch: Uncool songs on WFMU are like pennies at a quick stop. Take one and its fine, two is ok, three? get a job
	5:32pm MONEYBAG$: RR - Courtney is not really on that cover
	5:32pm JasonInBoston: The Kenny G stuff that's before his elevator music...got played heavily on R&B stations. Kashif on production. I liked a couple of those songs back in 1984. You've got Def Leppard, so...you know.
	5:34pm Julie: Britta's bond theme. I remember her first from being in Satisfaction!
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MBags: No! ...There is Kenneth Goldsmith the MetaPoet - & the Kenny G who plays Jazz w/ all the Jazz taken out...
	5:34pm Evan From Seattle: So Britta Phillips was the voice of Jem? That's awesome.
	5:34pm flashback: hello Sheila and fellow listeners.
	5:35pm Julie: Billy Joel is much-hated in FMU land.
	5:35pm Adrian in London: Oh, this Britta track is lovely. There were all sorts of limited 7s and so on for pledgers to the record.
	5:35pm Listener Robert: Oh, I don't think we meant THAT Kenny G, Jason. Also, this was in the context of those who voluntarily choose to listen to WFMU. People who are involuntarily exposed to it, like the head of my lab where I was 30 yrs. ago and would say "Turn that shit off!" after I had WFMU playing for 20-30 mins. at a time are another matter entirely.
	5:36pm Sir Slouch: Which Kenny G came first?
	5:37pm tomasz.: i assumed Sheila meant the wet saxophonist rather than the former FMU DJ but who knows
	5:37pm Listener Robert: I think we were referring as Rabbit was to the Kenny G who's at the U. of Penn. & nettled the White House over something a few yrs. ago.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...okay whatever : exposingcourtneylove.tumblr.com... ...she cray cray - but that was a good Hole rekkid.
	5:39pm Listener Robert: Many WFMU DJs blow off steam from time to time in the form of irritainment.
	5:43pm Julie: oooh new El Perro del Mar
	5:43pm Adrian in London: Oh, new El Perro?! Great!
	5:44pm djsheilab: I meant Kenny G--the beloved jazzman with that instrument that looks/ sounds like a sax-flute.
	5:44pm flashback: Sheila, I like the way you show the album covers with song titles.
	5:45pm mink: liked that last one a lot.. but I thought she was saying "we all come from the same belly button" ...
	5:46pm Smilty69: Are these still the abortion songs?
	5:46pm Guido from Cologne: fab album!
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...soprano sax...
	5:47pm Stutt: That Alice Donut was good.
	5:48pm Adrian in London: I chatted with Margo on Twitter a few years ago when she was around on there for a few months
	5:48pm MONEYBAG$: I was so bummed that Ride didn't play this when I saw them last year
	5:48pm Listener Robert: No, they're still birth songs. Hmm, that didn't seem to come out right.
	5:49pm JtotheK: @sheilab - you could also refer to him as 'the Kenny G who was in the guinness book of world records' (holding saxophone note related) ...
	5:49pm djsheilab: @Adrian WOW! What a class act she is! And songwriter!
	5:50pm Mandy: Sheila are you going to play some enka next time?
	5:50pm Adrian in London: She joined in 2010 and stopped in 2011! Have you seen the Sundazed rerelease of her album, in lovely clear purple swirly vinyl?
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is Overcast Sunshine Pop a Genre? Beautiful track. Somehow missed Ride in the day - impressed w/ them right away last year...
	5:51pm djsheilab: @Mandy Sure! I'll remember to bring something in next week.
	5:52pm Matt in Hillsborough: WHOA
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wouldn't you like to have seen Ozzy 1st time he heard this?
	5:52pm Fred R: The best Ozzie song ever. Happy Fiday Sheila!
	5:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Can't get to Allentown or Brooklyn for record fairs? I have just been informed there's a record fair in Poughkeepsie on April 23, 2016. www.wvkr.org...
	5:53pm drewo: Happy Friday Sheila. Thanks for the wonderful soundtrack. The new LP from Suede is v. good, if you've not yet given it a spin.
	5:53pm Fred R: Happy Friday Sheila!
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Suede !
	5:54pm Adrian in London: @RevRabbit I loved Ride when they were first around. I first saw them in a pub in Newcastle. For an encore they did Tomorrow Never Knows and at one point Mark walked out of a door while the band wigged out. The drama was lessened by most of us in the audience thinking' Why's he out there in the car park in Newcastle in February? He'll freeze to death!'
	5:54pm djsheilab: Happy Friday gang!
	5:54pm Evan From Seattle: Love this Charles Bradley track.
	5:55pm Marty Shane: Happy Friday, see you in Hudson!
	5:55pm Mandy: Thanks Sheila! I was at my favorite NYC izakaya last night and I can't get "Urami Bushi" out of my head....have a great week, y'all!
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Adrian: Ever occur to you Brits we Yanks hate yer guts for yer stories of seeing legendary bands before we did in tiny intimate clubs? Hehe...
	5:57pm Adrian in London: Ha ha, hate away, hate away! I'm seeing Holly Macve in a tiny club next week… ;-)
	5:57pm tomasz.: tbh this Brit's favourite bands are mostly American, so it works the other way too
	5:57pm The Contessa: Thanks Sheila, Have a great weekend everyone!
	5:57pm Jesse K: Thanks for the show Sheila!
	5:58pm Guido from Cologne: thanks & CU
	5:58pm Adrian in London: G'night Sheila! Thanks. x
	5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian/The Contessa - I received your email today, thanks. I'll respond when I have some free time.
	5:58pm tomasz.: great show Sheila, cheers!
	5:58pm Evan From Seattle: Thanks Sheila!
	5:59pm mink: cool stuff very fun thanks!
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks for another sweet Friday afternoon, Sheila!
	5:59pm chris: thanks, Sheila!
	6:00pm Swan_Gone: Thumbs up! Show rocked!
	6:00pm listener james from westwood: huge thanks, sheila!
	6:00pm wheatdog: Bring on the weirdos!
	4:50am Matt in Nebraska: The Def Leppard stood out as the guiltiest pleasure I've ever heard on WFMU but it was redeemed by the righteousness of that Billie Davis number in the next set.
	6:05pm Marie: Hi! Your zine Plume influenced my exposure to music in the 90's...I love when you play songs from that time. I'd love a whole Plume focused playlist :)
	3:34am Matt in Nebraska: Now that I've had some time to digest it, I think that Def Leppard was more of an ironic stunt than a guilty pleasure.
	4:15am sirhclluk: That Bread and Butter song was amazing when I thought she was saying "We all come from the belly button".
