	3:31pm Mark Hurst: You're so right, Sheila! Bandcamp is great. Spotify, not so much.
	3:32pm P-90: Yay! Plants deserve proper pots, lights deserve light bulbs.
	3:32pm Brendan: I salute you Sheila. I have done the same. I think it’s healthier to get in touch with your pre-Internet mind. She
	3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Huzzah for Gaylord! Happy birthday! ✨
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♌︎Leonine Solar Return ~ GAYLORD FIELDS - ! ! ~ www.facebook.com...
	3:34pm Handy Haversack: Silicon Valley had its revenge on independent artists today, Mark Hurst. I could order only albums whose artists had set up for credit card payments since I can't log in to Paypal when I'm away from home since they can't text me a code. Sorry, John (Timestwo), Method Actors, Mountain Movers, and Adrian Crowley. I will get you once I'm home.
	3:35pm Cooh John: Hello Sheila and sophisticates. In and out quick today. Going to see my first live acts in a year and a half. DjLorraine 🙋‍♂️
	3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gaylord shares the day with Lucille Ball, Andy Warhol & Elliot Smith...
	3:35pm djsheilab: Hey Mark Hurst!
	3:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Handy - Simple: Charge it to Bagpipe's account!
	3:35pm djsheilab: don_laine—Oops, you're right!
	3:36pm Handy Haversack: He won't tell me his password, Ken!
	3:37pm Michael 98145: snazzy
	3:38pm djsheilab: Hey Jason from Houston, Glistener MW, Jodran, DjLorraine + Cooh John!

	3:42pm djsheilab: Thank you, TheoC in Sharon CT! Appreciate your lovely words.
	3:43pm djsheilab: Hey (another) Patrick in Hoboken + Peter in SEA!
	3:44pm PaulRobeson1920: HapPPPy Birthday! Gaylord!!!
	3:47pm Dayffid: Amazing show as always Sheila!! hi boomers!
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thank you Dayffid!
	3:49pm Vanessa Tara: welcome back!
	3:50pm Dayffid: I wonder sometimes why musician dont all just decide to take there music off Spotify etc? is there a reason they dont? or maybe they can't?
	3:52pm djsheilab: Thx Vanessa Tara!
	3:53pm JesaBoon: Turkish culture lovers: watch The Gift. (via ntflx). It is beautiful.
	3:54pm djsheilab: Dayffid—Like everything, there are some real upsides to Spotify. A lot of artists get discovered on Spotify by record labels, music supervisors, DJs, etc. And it's a wonderful search tool for someone like me!
	3:56pm djsheilab: Thx JesaBoon. I LOVED Ethos and recommend that if you haven't seen it.
	3:56pm DjLorraine: Cooh John🙋‍♀️. Please mask up. Your state had 499 deaths and we had 39,000. The childrens hospital is filling up with delta and lambda. It spreads as easy as chicken pox currently.
	3:57pm artbrau: The only thing worse for an artist than being on Spotify is not being on Spotify.
	3:58pm fred: @artbrau: both bring in about the same income though
	3:58pm chris in the redwoods: loving the sounds, Sheila! hello to you and the boom boom massive. :)
	3:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mark Hurst made exposition of how - nice again - SpottyFees is an example of a major Biotech company how is : - not into it for what we're into it for - is data-mining users & selling the info to who knows whom - cheats the Artists completely - & is not transparent (Lies about it all)...
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *once again ...Dear Autoincorrect: Is it really better to give us a different word than our intended word spelled a bit wrong ??
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *major BigTech. Gawdammit !!...
	4:01pm Joey!: Hey Sheila!! Missed ya!!!
	4:01pm JesaBoon: Ethos! Okay will do thanks!
	4:02pm fred: @RRN63: I think NGH coined the definite name by calling it autocarrot
	4:02pm Vanessa Tara: pisces and virgo are polar opposites
	4:06pm Ike: I'm a big fan of calling it autocarrot! Meanwhile, awesome Persian record!
	4:06pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: i build flashback billboard lists on spotify as well as "prehistory" of genres (pink, funk, etc) ... all old back catalog tracks (1910s - onwards) ... for new indie artists i go to bandcamp
	4:06pm Shirley: "occasional man"---funnee turn of phrase
	4:07pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Sheila! Thanks for asking. We endured the symptoms and the isolation period and came out the other side. A little (lot) traumatized but OK. We managed to get out of town to far western Michigan, which is helping a ton with mental recovery. Thanks so much for asking. fred, we managed to get in a fun turn around School Section Lake! Now laying the fire and preparing for guests.
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: fred - as that is a completely different word - that may be so. :) Yes - ♓︎Pisces & ♍︎Virgo are ☍Opposite signs on the wheel of the zodiac - as that album cover seems to show. It is always very illuminating to consider a Polarity of ☍Opposite Signs. ☍Opposite Signs balance each other by contrast - which requires Awareness. ♓︎Pisces is Belief - & ♍︎Virgo is Analysis. ♓︎Pisces is Sacrifice - & ♍︎Virgo is Service...
	4:08pm ?: Just copped that Solstice Seance cassette cuz, hey, it's bandcamp Friday!
	4:08pm headcleaner: gusto mucho
	4:08pm Lemon Pie: I really dig Michael Kiwanuka. Good choice for occasional man, Sheila!
	4:09pm fred: I got my bandcamp Friday purchases, but had to fight to get them to play. I'm proficient with command line tools so found a workaround, but why is this happening? Not everyone has the latest Apple crapware folks
	4:09pm chris in the redwoods: Kiwanuka sooo, sooo good! :)
	4:09pm headcleaner: we're all technology serfs now, fred
	4:10pm djsheilab: headcleaner + chris in the redwoods—Since I am so immersed in my female-centric world, I miss geniuses like Michael Kiwanuka. Soooo good, indeed!
	4:10pm ?: Kiwanaku is involved with Sault. So good
	4:10pm Docrock: Good afternoon DJ Shiela B and everyone listening to this very interesting collection of songs. More please.
	4:11pm djsheilab: Who is this mystery ? with very good taste?!
	4:11pm Dayffid: djsheilab - Thanks for the info. I was just talking to a friend the other day about how different my listening experience is today from what it was like when I was younger, when I would have to save up money and buy and album and listen to it over and over again. My musical knowledge of different artist and bands has expanded vastly but I rarely become as intimate with a single or an album as in the days when I would physically buy it. Even when I do it still doesn't have the same amount of time given as the albums of the past. so yeah things change, somethings are better some as worse but in the end I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. OR can you?? maybe you can?
	4:13pm PaulRobeson1920: Art! Art! Art! The world’s greatest art is ephemeral!
	4:13pm djsheilab: artbrau—That just about sums it up!
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to websearch the episode of Techtonic about SpottyFees ...first result up - Techtonic on SpottyFees...
	4:14pm fred: @Handy: Cool that you could enjoy the lake. Was Bagpipe onboard? I saw that Voltron is getting real good offers online for your former abode, though his demands for complete submission seem to depress the price
	4:14pm Passaic River Blues: @Dayffid: your experience mirrors mine, especially w/r/t deeper connection with a smaller collection of works physically owned versus a perhaps sometimes shallower connection to a far vaster and varied collection/continuous access to of digital works.
	4:14pm steveo: hi Sheila! Been listening and liking :)
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: Holy wow for this Liana Flores!
	4:14pm Andrew_in_WI: Oh hey... ? was me...
	4:15pm djsheilab: listener james from westwood—Like a young Vashti!
	4:15pm Lemon Pie: I’m getting some Eliot Smith vibes from this Liana Flores song…
	4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ack, what a mess over here! I just discovered that the avocado mix goes on the bread _after_ coming out of the toaster.
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mark's episode from November : www.wfmu.org... ...there may have been others that relate ??...
	4:16pm djsheilab: Thanks for revealing yourself, Andrew_in_WI :)
	4:17pm Nelo: Lol, just bought that single on bandcamp from last time you played it and I marked it down - in it for the good music ;)
	4:17pm djsheilab: Nelo—Excellent! This deserved another spin.
	4:17pm dreamyandseedy: god this is such a beautiful song!!!!!!
	4:18pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—So great it's ridiculous!
	4:18pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: So you're not yet one of the Avocado Toast crowd. You're too old and it shows
	4:18pm Vanessa Tara: the kiwanuka track reminded me of listening to the 'hot buttered soul' lp for the first time
	4:19pm Nelo: It sure does Sheila!!
	4:19pm headcleaner: "fingers in the pie"
	4:19pm mb: Hi DJ Sheila B. Good afternoon, alll
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...dark bangs & big eyes are on my shortlist of stuff I don't hate too ...as it happens...
	4:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Alas, it's true, fred. Going to look for avocado PopTarts on the dark web now. BRB
	4:20pm mattgary: UNREAL, this song...
	4:20pm Dayffid: Passaic River Blues - Thank you for explaining what I was trying to say so succinctly as apposed to my long winded ramblings- "deeper connection with a smaller collection of works physically owned versus a perhaps sometimes shallower connection to a far vaster and varied collection/continuous access to of digital works." that's it in a nutshell!
	4:20pm ncjay: love Diane Birch!
	4:20pm BH: just banged my right shin off of a stair going up the stairs and it bled a bit because of gravity. So I was sitting in a chair, keeping the leg level, and hearing about how a Cuban Olympic boxer got back to training 2 weeks after getting shot in the hip (he won Gold) After hearing that, I figured "hey, this will be fine". Weirdly enough it doesn't really hurt to walk.
	4:21pm Dayffid: love this Diane Birch track!
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Race''s Arrangement & Production just commute along like a stroll on a drizzly afternoon in the early autumn in the best sense...
	4:22pm PaulRobeson1920: Today we have less than 1% of 1% of the written material created by ancient peoples. Art? What is it good for?if it won’t make cash money?? Hehehe @Rev Rabbit- Canceled. & don’t look at me with your eyes
	4:22pm Dayffid: Passaic River Blues - I try to get it back by buying cd's and playing them in my car, but its still not quite then same. too many musical distractions. which is of course good and bad
	4:22pm djsheilab: Ahhhh....I'm so happy you agree on the excellence of that Diane Birch song!
	4:24pm Joey!: Hello to all my friends here!!
	4:25pm djsheilab: Hey Joey!, mattgary, and mb!
	4:25pm mmeghan: i love this song!
	4:26pm Jessica B: Thank you for your show today Sheila. It's beautiful
	4:27pm djsheilab: mmeghan—some summer melancholy for ya!
	4:28pm djsheilab: Jessica B—Thanks for your sweet comment!
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: @fred, Bagpipe handles matters amidship. As long as he has his carpet runner, he's pretty content in the canoe.
	4:31pm PaulRobeson1920: Creativity happens when yer fooling around! The Music we have made for most of Human history is like waves upon the sand!!! <3 lovely
	4:31pm Monica: lilting loveliness, lady:)
	4:31pm dreamyandseedy: wow can't believe i didn't already have this song favorited
	4:31pm fred: Last Sunday I went to my first indie show in forever and a half. Rose Mercie (one of the projects of "Charlene Darling") and a member of Mamiedaragon opening. I was so happy to meet people again
	4:32pm Justin B.: Howdy Sheila and boomerz. Enjoying the mellow vibes this sleepy summer Friday afternoon!
	4:32pm djsheilab: Monica—LLL! Thanks for the love!
	4:33pm Passaic River Blues: @Fred: very cool! Trouble has played Rose Mercie; great stuff.
	4:34pm Michael 98145: Iceland -does- have lotsa moss
	4:34pm erik: come to understanding with my rituals, this show is typically my finish up to a work week, but when I'm in the UK it is an after dinner event. Enjoyment from Southampton, Day 9 of Quarantine.
	4:35pm listener james from westwood: @Sheila—Exaaaactly on the Vashti point! Did a double-take!
	4:36pm fred: @Passaic River Blues: They recorded a second album, they're into the cover art and distro phase, so it should only take a few more months
	4:36pm headcleaner: paixão => pai-'shao
	4:37pm dreamyandseedy: i'm a little upset i didn't know about bandcamp friday, they didn't send me an email. but now i know! i bought spellling and green lung yesterday!
	4:43pm mmeghan: so excited for this new album, sounds great so far
	4:43pm P-90: A “gentle banger” indeed
	4:46pm Nelo: Aw, how I miss to go swing dancing 💃🏼
	4:47pm Vanessa Tara: nelo: ditto for me
	4:47pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—The Bandcamp Friday info isn't even prominently listed on the main Bandcamp page.
	4:48pm fred: Bandcamp Friday purchases: So Percussion's take of Stay On It (I'm likely to buy any Julius Eastman version, hint). And CHAI's WINK. Probably gets my noise card revoked, but sometimes a price has to be paid
	4:48pm ncjay: I bought the Drew Citron song :)
	4:49pm Michael 98145: ( nothing to prevent you from leaving a little extra for the artists, either ... )
	4:49pm djsheilab: ncjay—YAY!
	4:50pm djsheilab: fred—The CHAI record is FAB!
	4:50pm mmeghan: sheila i'm SO excited about your concert selections from the newsletter. thank you for putting that together! hoping to make it to see yaeji and emily king :)
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Magnificent Wynona Carr track in every way ...voice reminds me of Judy Henske of all people !...
	4:50pm Vanessa Tara: wynona carr's birthday: aug. 23
	4:51pm Nelo: Vanessa tara: yay!
	4:51pm Vanessa Tara: sounds like mayada's doing new orleans r&b in lebanon ...
	4:52pm Passaic River Blues: I love this.
	4:53pm egould310: Ya ya ya! Ya baby ya!
	4:53pm Michael 98145: shake a leg
	4:54pm Vanessa Tara: iko iko
	4:54pm Justin B.: Oui oui oui!
	4:55pm Michael 98145: like her little phonograph ...
	4:55pm egould310: Hi Michael! Nice drizzly morning in Seattle, eh?
	4:55pm Michael 98145: @eg310, hi! yes -- smoke has cleared
	4:57pm Vanessa Tara: this is gorgeous!!!
	4:58pm ledzeppelinsucks: On a scale of 18 to 37 I rate this a 22.3.
	4:59pm Bimbus Bambus: This sounds more like The Avalanches than The Avalanches themselves!
	4:59pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Glad you love it!
	5:01pm Monica: avalanches vibe:)
	5:02pm Michael 98145: Jeanne ! ♥
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...keep imaging the lilt of slide guitar from 'If Not For You' by Dylan/Harrison behind 'Slumber Party'...
	5:03pm Passaic River Blues: Recently watched Moreau in "Jules et Jim" and have probably listened to "Le Tourbillon" 1,000 times in the interim.
	5:04pm fred: Does anyone have a real bandcamp link for Vartey Ganiva?
	5:05pm Michael 98145: My "Le Tourbillon" EP is one of my treasures ...
	5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ok - finkin' out & goin' Rawkist with Medson on the SoulStream. But it ain't easy ! :D TY Always DJ SheilaB.
	5:07pm Matt Fiveash: Monkey's Uncle rules! Those people are idiots.
	5:08pm northguineahills: I once was played a DFA track as my first track at a dj gig on Houston Ave, and, the manager made me and my dj partner leave, immediately.....
	5:08pm Michael 98145: @ngh, "cancel culture" 😛
	5:10pm PaulRobeson1920: Problems are private affairs. Issues are public matters.
	5:10pm northguineahills: amen, sheilab!
	5:11pm Bimbus Bambus: All art is political anyway! Who's involved in the making of it, who benefits, who it does and doesn't address, etc.
	5:11pm Michael 98145: "if i can't dance, i don't want to be part of your revolution"
	5:11pm headcleaner: Zounds - that's a really toxic way of looking not just art, but the world in general
	5:11pm headcleaner: But sadly, very typical of the current zeitgeist
	5:12pm BH: yeah, joy and things like that can be a breather from things we know exist. There's a difference between stepping back and ignoring?
	5:12pm PaulRobeson1920: The Beatles!! I LOVE The Beatles!! (The Beatles So much more than this but let me try) For me The Beatles are (Timeless)- “All I want is you Everything has got to be just like you want it to Because Oh, now I feel the wind blow Well, you can indicate everything you see Yes, you can indicate anything you see…”
	5:13pm woj: <3 breanna!
	5:13pm headcleaner: Radio doesn't reach the masses like it used to, but it reaches... special people
	5:14pm grtyvr: great rantlet!
	5:14pm fred: @Michael 98145: I can't dance, it's just a sad statement of fact. I'll just have to be the enemy then
	5:14pm Haiku Henry: Art should simply evoke emotion.
	5:14pm PaulRobeson1920: Life and Art- inseparable right
	5:15pm PaulRobeson1920: Art! Art! Art! Toss yer clocks into the sea!
	5:17pm dreamyandseedy: i dig this Breanna track! and i enjoyed your response to the instagram post :)
	5:18pm WM: I agree with you entirely, Shelia. First, use the right tool for the job. If you have a policy you think will further social justice then work on bringing the policy into action, don't write a song about it. Conversely, if you are an artist of any kind don't expect to be praised just because your heart is in the right place - make your art as beautiful, powerful and self-sufficient as possible.
	5:19pm fred: Sorry to be annoying, but I'd appreciate it if someone had a legit bandcamp link for Vartey Ganiva. What I found so far are second hand or dubious
	5:21pm patrick321: varteyganiva.bandcamp.com... This took me to community screen. Seems legit
	5:22pm joe mulligan: thanks for keeping Rockaway on the map Sheila B! The Breanna track is new to me. There's also a new novel about a woman re-inventing herself at the Rockaways: www.goodreads.com...
	5:23pm djsheilab: Thanks for your responses to my rant, WM, dreamyandseedy, PaulRobeson1920, Haiku Henry, grtyvr, BH, headcleaner, northguineahills, Bimbus Bambus + Michael 98145!
	5:23pm eric from lake hiawatha: Sheila compelling music and dialogue. Bless you.
	5:24pm Vanessa Tara: this new ace cd is supposed to be great!
	5:25pm Passaic River Blues: @Fred: patrick321's link seems legit to me, too. You likely came across it, but because Yab Moung is Ganiva's label, this alleged Daft Pop/YM joint release may be legit: daftpop.bandcamp.com...
	5:25pm djsheilab: Perfect song for Cuomo!
	5:26pm WM: Saying art must always address social justice and political issues is just another way of saying there should be no art at all. Some people are intimidated by art and prefer propaganda.
	5:26pm chresti: Hi dj sheilab and boom boom roomers! I’ve always found the term “monkey’s uncle” curious. Taken literally it would mean a man had a nephew that was a monkey??
	5:26pm michael z: Is this Billie Jo Spears song meant to be a pastiche? It's really fun though.
	5:27pm WM: Talk about social relevent art!
	5:27pm WM: Talk about social relevent art!
	5:28pm djsheilab: WM—Well said!
	5:28pm headcleaner: WM - yup, it's definitely a very authoritarian mindset
	5:28pm Ike: All art should be about turnips.
	5:28pm djsheilab: michael z—There are quite a few country records like this, so I suspect not!
	5:29pm PaulRobeson1920: We are always participating in something larger than ourselves. We need each other. The question with any message an artist or Citizen on this land has (or does not know they have) is what is actionable? This is a simplification -but- A conservative like Nixon would be content to narrate the past. Whereas liberal like RFK would looks to the past to draw lessons and inform upon the present! But I digress… i try to steer clear of the politics game, but as a Citizen am born political. No choice in that. A friendly shout to the 2.2 million Souls behind bars in America and 8 million more men and women under supervision of the state on parole… half of that population has a definable mental illness
	5:30pm Vanessa Tara: choctaw ridge would go well with the state of the union cd (also on ace)
	5:30pm Juli: V JPop
	5:30pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Yup! Both were compiled by Bob + Pete of Saint Etienne.
	5:31pm fred: Thanks for the links, I'll have to run these by my consultant (Cambodian cashier at the local supermarket, super knowledgeable about Khmer music)
	5:31pm michael z: Ah! It sounded so much like Ode to Billie Joe or Harper Valley PTA. But then there were lots of girl group answer songs as well. I wondered because of the NYC location.
	5:31pm PaulRobeson1920: Please forgive the typos. Shooting to live from the hip! Here
	5:31pm Vanessa Tara: also on the bear family label there's an excellent series called 'truckers, kickers and cowboy angels'
	5:31pm tim from washington: Hi Shwila! I'm late as usual.
	5:32pm tim from washington: Sorry for the misspell of your name, Sheila!
	5:32pm fred: Also, she can read Khmer, and I can't
	5:32pm headcleaner: Somehow I think the Khmer Rouge would dig this "all art must be socially relevant" angle
	5:33pm tim from washington: @fred - I'm very envious that you have a Khmer consultant!
	5:33pm Vanessa Tara: www.bear-family.com...
	5:34pm ncjay: hmmm. April March track isn't at bandcamp or iT*nes ... ?
	5:34pm Andrea Egert: Happy Friday Sheila B. & Sophisticats!! Alas, it IS a big, bad world...
	5:35pm joe mulligan: @Chresti: I had to look it up, "monkey's uncle" is to express surprise or disbelief, i.e. your sibling wouldnt have a monkey child. but "Bob's your uncle" is completely different
	5:35pm PaulRobeson1920: People are born innately good! The world is OK, baby!
	5:36pm BH: the world is OK, the people can a bit of a challenge though
	5:36pm Andrea Egert: Thank you for this temporal, sonic Friday afternoon oasis, Sheila B. !!<3
	5:36pm dreamyandseedy: those look like fun compilations, thanks vanessa tara!
	5:38pm chresti: Thanks Joe! Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!
	5:39pm BH: the song "Mr. Walker, It's All Over" would any Mr. Walkers of that era concerned about how they were about to be told off
	5:40pm Dayffid: I can't believe I missed the rant!
	5:40pm tim from washington: I need to hear the rant too.
	5:41pm Vanessa Tara: non-snse!
	5:41pm fred: @tim: she's rarely available tough, only when there's a lull and I'm the only one in line. She sometimes cheats to make that happen, so that we can talk about Cambodian music. It's tough because she's very beautiful, but I just want to talk about music, not flirt, and she does know a lot
	5:42pm chresti: fred, our neighbors across the street escaped the Khmer Rouge
	5:42pm chresti: Thanks sheilab!
	5:42pm Rick Hokendauqua: Sheila, I’m with you about declaring art irrelevant if it does not advance a political or social agenda. For where this vile approach to art can lead, just search online for “Entartete Kunst exhibition”.
	5:42pm N.A.: Got it right, Sheila B! “Nonsense”indeed.
	5:43pm djsheilab: Thank you, Rick Hokendauqua!
	5:44pm Ike: I like some critics a lot, but I bet that one was just trying to drive social media engagement by saying something outrageous. As Mark Hurst has probably pointed out, social media algorithms promote this kind of behavior.
	5:44pm djsheilab: N.A.+ Vanessa Tara—I do quite enjoy shouting "Nonsense!"
	5:45pm PaulRobeson1920: Freedom of Expression!!!!! Yes yes yes Context is key. All social life is political… even food choice…. Most people cannot see beyond their everyday. And that can be Ok. Keep searching What is the good life? And how do I lead it? What is the nature of justice? What is the nature of The Good? Deeply human concerns Artists or non-artsist?? Hehehe life is art!!! Art! Art! Art!
	5:46pm djsheilab: Ike—I've got no problem with critics. Just ones who espouse nonsense! And you're right about the algorithims although this person is a friend of a friend.
	5:46pm northguineahills: all things are art, in my mind...(even this mess I need to clean up).
	5:46pm tim from washington: Based on the mini rant I totally agree with you, Sheila! Dictating what art should be about is bad news. Social issues and politics in art that is explicit sometimes hits the mark but most of the time it fails. Art can be political and successful when there's nuance, grey area and it's well thought out; not just a reaction. Successful political art: David Wojnarowicz, Nan Goldin. Unsuccessful political art : the dearth of books dictating uniformity in thought about gender, race and political views.
	5:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Ok here. I’ll be explicit and spell it out. I value the truth and freedom and wisdom. If ya digg it check out this book - “ The Forest and the Trees Book by Allan G. Johnson 2008
	5:47pm joe mulligan: @Ike: true! Two social media peeves of mine are when people make a salacious comment and then say, "Discuss." or even worse, when someone says "AAAAND GO!" I love it when those posts get crickets. Theyr'e just trying to get your goat
	5:48pm RB: fell dead asleep in a chair after getting home . What did I miss ?
	5:49pm Ike: Oh, sorry @Sheila, I must've misunderstood -- I thought it was a social media post -- I know you're not on social anymore, but I figured you'd heard about it through the grapevine or some such.
	5:50pm morphe': Made it back from Foodshopping for THE HAPPY ENDING!! Rated G for all audience Members !!!! ps had to correct auto correct when it changed Foodshopping to woodchopping .. Thanks SBB and all !!!!
	5:50pm djsheilab: Ike—A social media post by a critic who is a friend of a friend :)
	5:50pm mariano: Hey djsheilab, everyone. Been lurking and working, and this show has made it a magical afternoon. Thanks!
	5:51pm PaulRobeson1920: Turn off the T.V and leave it off! WFMU thank goodness for WFMU Oh and I would be remiss if I fail to promote THE REAL DEAL- NYC’s son Neil Postman - “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business” Book by Neil Postman so so good so clear and written in plain english
	5:51pm fred: What I meant about my "consultant" being beautiful is that men tend to flock to her. I avoid her line to get out faster. But she knows my interest in Cambodian music, so once in a few months, we can chat. Can't be planned, but a learning experience for me
	5:54pm PaulRobeson1920: Grass clippings. Station wagon. Station wagon
	5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sheila. Another outstanding and relevant program today!
	5:55pm joe mulligan: great show today Sheila, and thanks for staying true to yourself!
	5:57pm tim from washington: Thanks, Sheila!
	5:57pm Vanessa Tara: thank you!!!
	5:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Sheila!!
	5:57pm michael z: Thank you Sheila for a beautiful show.
	5:57pm Dayffid: Just chiming in to say I concur with the rant too!
	5:57pm Passaic River Blues: @fred: what does your Cambodian friend think of acts that incorporate Cambodian music such as Khruangbin and Dengue Fever?
	5:57pm chris in the redwoods: thank you, Sheila B! what a great bunch of music you put together for our grateful ears.
	5:57pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank You, Sheila!! I had a lot of fun listening to you! Cheers!
	5:58pm dreamyandseedy: thank you sheila
	5:58pm Ike: Yes @JoeMull, what you said! I'm sure that's what the critic in question was going for. Just stick to ripping things a new one if they suck! For some reason I stumbled across a few scathing old reviews of that cornball Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner flick "The Bodyguard" recently and I ROTFLed. That's the kind of delightfully trashy behavior by critics that I can appreciate! www.washingtonpost.com...
	5:58pm morphe': ps Buffy St Marie(sp?) playing in Prospect Park tonight ...Time?
	5:58pm radioronan: Thanks Sheila!
	5:58pm ncjay: Thanks Sheila - see you next week!
	5:58pm Jocelyn: Thank you Sheila! Wishing everyone a great weekend
	5:59pm Dayffid: thank for the music and the rants!
	5:59pm P-90: Many thanks, Rabbi Sheila
	6:00pm djsheilab: Your rabbi signing off :) Thanks for listening dear friends! See you next week. Xoxoxo

	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joyeux ♌︎Leonine Solar Return ~ GAYLORD FIELDS - ! ! ~ www.facebook.com...
	3:34pm Handy Haversack: Silicon Valley had its revenge on independent artists today, Mark Hurst. I could order only albums whose artists had set up for credit card payments since I can't log in to Paypal when I'm away from home since they can't text me a code. Sorry, John (Timestwo), Method Actors, Mountain Movers, and Adrian Crowley. I will get you once I'm home.

	3:44pm PaulRobeson1920: HapPPPy Birthday! Gaylord!!!
	3:47pm Dayffid: Amazing show as always Sheila!! hi boomers!
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thank you Dayffid!
	3:49pm Vanessa Tara: welcome back!
	3:50pm Dayffid: I wonder sometimes why musician dont all just decide to take there music off Spotify etc? is there a reason they dont? or maybe they can't?
	3:52pm djsheilab: Thx Vanessa Tara!
	3:53pm JesaBoon: Turkish culture lovers: watch The Gift. (via ntflx). It is beautiful.
	3:54pm djsheilab: Dayffid—Like everything, there are some real upsides to Spotify. A lot of artists get discovered on Spotify by record labels, music supervisors, DJs, etc. And it's a wonderful search tool for someone like me!
	3:56pm djsheilab: Thx JesaBoon. I LOVED Ethos and recommend that if you haven't seen it.
	3:56pm DjLorraine: Cooh John🙋‍♀️. Please mask up. Your state had 499 deaths and we had 39,000. The childrens hospital is filling up with delta and lambda. It spreads as easy as chicken pox currently.
	3:57pm artbrau: The only thing worse for an artist than being on Spotify is not being on Spotify.
	3:58pm fred: @artbrau: both bring in about the same income though
	3:58pm chris in the redwoods: loving the sounds, Sheila! hello to you and the boom boom massive. :)
	3:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mark Hurst made exposition of how - nice again - SpottyFees is an example of a major Biotech company how is : - not into it for what we're into it for - is data-mining users & selling the info to who knows whom - cheats the Artists completely - & is not transparent (Lies about it all)...
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *once again ...Dear Autoincorrect: Is it really better to give us a different word than our intended word spelled a bit wrong ??
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *major BigTech. Gawdammit !!...
	4:01pm Joey!: Hey Sheila!! Missed ya!!!
	4:01pm JesaBoon: Ethos! Okay will do thanks!
	4:02pm fred: @RRN63: I think NGH coined the definite name by calling it autocarrot
	4:02pm Vanessa Tara: pisces and virgo are polar opposites
	4:06pm Ike: I'm a big fan of calling it autocarrot! Meanwhile, awesome Persian record!
	4:06pm Vanessa Tara: sheila: i build flashback billboard lists on spotify as well as "prehistory" of genres (pink, funk, etc) ... all old back catalog tracks (1910s - onwards) ... for new indie artists i go to bandcamp
	4:06pm Shirley: "occasional man"---funnee turn of phrase
	4:07pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Sheila! Thanks for asking. We endured the symptoms and the isolation period and came out the other side. A little (lot) traumatized but OK. We managed to get out of town to far western Michigan, which is helping a ton with mental recovery. Thanks so much for asking. fred, we managed to get in a fun turn around School Section Lake! Now laying the fire and preparing for guests.
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: fred - as that is a completely different word - that may be so. :) Yes - ♓︎Pisces & ♍︎Virgo are ☍Opposite signs on the wheel of the zodiac - as that album cover seems to show. It is always very illuminating to consider a Polarity of ☍Opposite Signs. ☍Opposite Signs balance each other by contrast - which requires Awareness. ♓︎Pisces is Belief - & ♍︎Virgo is Analysis. ♓︎Pisces is Sacrifice - & ♍︎Virgo is Service...
	4:08pm ?: Just copped that Solstice Seance cassette cuz, hey, it's bandcamp Friday!
	4:08pm headcleaner: gusto mucho
	4:08pm Lemon Pie: I really dig Michael Kiwanuka. Good choice for occasional man, Sheila!
	4:09pm fred: I got my bandcamp Friday purchases, but had to fight to get them to play. I'm proficient with command line tools so found a workaround, but why is this happening? Not everyone has the latest Apple crapware folks
	4:09pm chris in the redwoods: Kiwanuka sooo, sooo good! :)
	4:09pm headcleaner: we're all technology serfs now, fred
	4:10pm djsheilab: headcleaner + chris in the redwoods—Since I am so immersed in my female-centric world, I miss geniuses like Michael Kiwanuka. Soooo good, indeed!
	4:10pm ?: Kiwanaku is involved with Sault. So good
	4:10pm Docrock: Good afternoon DJ Shiela B and everyone listening to this very interesting collection of songs. More please.
	4:11pm djsheilab: Who is this mystery ? with very good taste?!
	4:11pm Dayffid: djsheilab - Thanks for the info. I was just talking to a friend the other day about how different my listening experience is today from what it was like when I was younger, when I would have to save up money and buy and album and listen to it over and over again. My musical knowledge of different artist and bands has expanded vastly but I rarely become as intimate with a single or an album as in the days when I would physically buy it. Even when I do it still doesn't have the same amount of time given as the albums of the past. so yeah things change, somethings are better some as worse but in the end I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. OR can you?? maybe you can?
	4:13pm PaulRobeson1920: Art! Art! Art! The world’s greatest art is ephemeral!
	4:13pm djsheilab: artbrau—That just about sums it up!
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...trying to websearch the episode of Techtonic about SpottyFees ...first result up - Techtonic on SpottyFees...
	4:14pm fred: @Handy: Cool that you could enjoy the lake. Was Bagpipe onboard? I saw that Voltron is getting real good offers online for your former abode, though his demands for complete submission seem to depress the price
	4:14pm Passaic River Blues: @Dayffid: your experience mirrors mine, especially w/r/t deeper connection with a smaller collection of works physically owned versus a perhaps sometimes shallower connection to a far vaster and varied collection/continuous access to of digital works.
	4:14pm steveo: hi Sheila! Been listening and liking :)
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: Holy wow for this Liana Flores!
	4:14pm Andrew_in_WI: Oh hey... ? was me...
	4:15pm djsheilab: listener james from westwood—Like a young Vashti!
	4:15pm Lemon Pie: I’m getting some Eliot Smith vibes from this Liana Flores song…
	4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ack, what a mess over here! I just discovered that the avocado mix goes on the bread _after_ coming out of the toaster.
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mark's episode from November : www.wfmu.org... ...there may have been others that relate ??...
	4:16pm djsheilab: Thanks for revealing yourself, Andrew_in_WI :)
	4:17pm Nelo: Lol, just bought that single on bandcamp from last time you played it and I marked it down - in it for the good music ;)
	4:17pm djsheilab: Nelo—Excellent! This deserved another spin.
	4:17pm dreamyandseedy: god this is such a beautiful song!!!!!!
	4:18pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—So great it's ridiculous!
	4:18pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: So you're not yet one of the Avocado Toast crowd. You're too old and it shows
	4:18pm Vanessa Tara: the kiwanuka track reminded me of listening to the 'hot buttered soul' lp for the first time
	4:19pm Nelo: It sure does Sheila!!
	4:19pm headcleaner: "fingers in the pie"
	4:19pm mb: Hi DJ Sheila B. Good afternoon, alll
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...dark bangs & big eyes are on my shortlist of stuff I don't hate too ...as it happens...
	4:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Alas, it's true, fred. Going to look for avocado PopTarts on the dark web now. BRB
	4:20pm mattgary: UNREAL, this song...
	4:20pm Dayffid: Passaic River Blues - Thank you for explaining what I was trying to say so succinctly as apposed to my long winded ramblings- "deeper connection with a smaller collection of works physically owned versus a perhaps sometimes shallower connection to a far vaster and varied collection/continuous access to of digital works." that's it in a nutshell!
	4:20pm ncjay: love Diane Birch!
	4:20pm BH: just banged my right shin off of a stair going up the stairs and it bled a bit because of gravity. So I was sitting in a chair, keeping the leg level, and hearing about how a Cuban Olympic boxer got back to training 2 weeks after getting shot in the hip (he won Gold) After hearing that, I figured "hey, this will be fine". Weirdly enough it doesn't really hurt to walk.
	4:21pm Dayffid: love this Diane Birch track!
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Race''s Arrangement & Production just commute along like a stroll on a drizzly afternoon in the early autumn in the best sense...
	4:22pm PaulRobeson1920: Today we have less than 1% of 1% of the written material created by ancient peoples. Art? What is it good for?if it won’t make cash money?? Hehehe @Rev Rabbit- Canceled. & don’t look at me with your eyes
	4:22pm Dayffid: Passaic River Blues - I try to get it back by buying cd's and playing them in my car, but its still not quite then same. too many musical distractions. which is of course good and bad
	4:22pm djsheilab: Ahhhh....I'm so happy you agree on the excellence of that Diane Birch song!
	4:24pm Joey!: Hello to all my friends here!!
	4:25pm djsheilab: Hey Joey!, mattgary, and mb!
	4:25pm mmeghan: i love this song!
	4:26pm Jessica B: Thank you for your show today Sheila. It's beautiful
	4:27pm djsheilab: mmeghan—some summer melancholy for ya!
	4:28pm djsheilab: Jessica B—Thanks for your sweet comment!
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: @fred, Bagpipe handles matters amidship. As long as he has his carpet runner, he's pretty content in the canoe.
	4:31pm PaulRobeson1920: Creativity happens when yer fooling around! The Music we have made for most of Human history is like waves upon the sand!!! <3 lovely
	4:31pm Monica: lilting loveliness, lady:)
	4:31pm dreamyandseedy: wow can't believe i didn't already have this song favorited
	4:31pm fred: Last Sunday I went to my first indie show in forever and a half. Rose Mercie (one of the projects of "Charlene Darling") and a member of Mamiedaragon opening. I was so happy to meet people again
	4:32pm Justin B.: Howdy Sheila and boomerz. Enjoying the mellow vibes this sleepy summer Friday afternoon!
	4:32pm djsheilab: Monica—LLL! Thanks for the love!
	4:33pm Passaic River Blues: @Fred: very cool! Trouble has played Rose Mercie; great stuff.
	4:34pm Michael 98145: Iceland -does- have lotsa moss
	4:34pm erik: come to understanding with my rituals, this show is typically my finish up to a work week, but when I'm in the UK it is an after dinner event. Enjoyment from Southampton, Day 9 of Quarantine.
	4:35pm listener james from westwood: @Sheila—Exaaaactly on the Vashti point! Did a double-take!
	4:36pm fred: @Passaic River Blues: They recorded a second album, they're into the cover art and distro phase, so it should only take a few more months
	4:36pm headcleaner: paixão => pai-'shao
	4:37pm dreamyandseedy: i'm a little upset i didn't know about bandcamp friday, they didn't send me an email. but now i know! i bought spellling and green lung yesterday!
	4:43pm mmeghan: so excited for this new album, sounds great so far
	4:43pm P-90: A “gentle banger” indeed
	4:46pm Nelo: Aw, how I miss to go swing dancing 💃🏼
	4:47pm Vanessa Tara: nelo: ditto for me
	4:47pm djsheilab: dreamyandseedy—The Bandcamp Friday info isn't even prominently listed on the main Bandcamp page.
	4:48pm fred: Bandcamp Friday purchases: So Percussion's take of Stay On It (I'm likely to buy any Julius Eastman version, hint). And CHAI's WINK. Probably gets my noise card revoked, but sometimes a price has to be paid
	4:48pm ncjay: I bought the Drew Citron song :)
	4:49pm Michael 98145: ( nothing to prevent you from leaving a little extra for the artists, either ... )
	4:49pm djsheilab: ncjay—YAY!
	4:50pm djsheilab: fred—The CHAI record is FAB!
	4:50pm mmeghan: sheila i'm SO excited about your concert selections from the newsletter. thank you for putting that together! hoping to make it to see yaeji and emily king :)
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Magnificent Wynona Carr track in every way ...voice reminds me of Judy Henske of all people !...
	4:50pm Vanessa Tara: wynona carr's birthday: aug. 23
	4:51pm Nelo: Vanessa tara: yay!
	4:51pm Vanessa Tara: sounds like mayada's doing new orleans r&b in lebanon ...
	4:52pm Passaic River Blues: I love this.
	4:53pm egould310: Ya ya ya! Ya baby ya!
	4:53pm Michael 98145: shake a leg
	4:54pm Vanessa Tara: iko iko
	4:54pm Justin B.: Oui oui oui!
	4:55pm Michael 98145: like her little phonograph ...
	4:55pm egould310: Hi Michael! Nice drizzly morning in Seattle, eh?
	4:55pm Michael 98145: @eg310, hi! yes -- smoke has cleared
	4:57pm Vanessa Tara: this is gorgeous!!!
	4:58pm ledzeppelinsucks: On a scale of 18 to 37 I rate this a 22.3.
	4:59pm Bimbus Bambus: This sounds more like The Avalanches than The Avalanches themselves!
	4:59pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Glad you love it!
	5:01pm Monica: avalanches vibe:)
	5:02pm Michael 98145: Jeanne ! ♥
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...keep imaging the lilt of slide guitar from 'If Not For You' by Dylan/Harrison behind 'Slumber Party'...
	5:03pm Passaic River Blues: Recently watched Moreau in "Jules et Jim" and have probably listened to "Le Tourbillon" 1,000 times in the interim.
	5:04pm fred: Does anyone have a real bandcamp link for Vartey Ganiva?
	5:05pm Michael 98145: My "Le Tourbillon" EP is one of my treasures ...
	5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ok - finkin' out & goin' Rawkist with Medson on the SoulStream. But it ain't easy ! :D TY Always DJ SheilaB.
	5:07pm Matt Fiveash: Monkey's Uncle rules! Those people are idiots.
	5:08pm northguineahills: I once was played a DFA track as my first track at a dj gig on Houston Ave, and, the manager made me and my dj partner leave, immediately.....
	5:08pm Michael 98145: @ngh, "cancel culture" 😛
	5:10pm PaulRobeson1920: Problems are private affairs. Issues are public matters.
	5:10pm northguineahills: amen, sheilab!
	5:11pm Bimbus Bambus: All art is political anyway! Who's involved in the making of it, who benefits, who it does and doesn't address, etc.
	5:11pm Michael 98145: "if i can't dance, i don't want to be part of your revolution"
	5:11pm headcleaner: Zounds - that's a really toxic way of looking not just art, but the world in general
	5:11pm headcleaner: But sadly, very typical of the current zeitgeist
	5:12pm BH: yeah, joy and things like that can be a breather from things we know exist. There's a difference between stepping back and ignoring?
	5:12pm PaulRobeson1920: The Beatles!! I LOVE The Beatles!! (The Beatles So much more than this but let me try) For me The Beatles are (Timeless)- “All I want is you Everything has got to be just like you want it to Because Oh, now I feel the wind blow Well, you can indicate everything you see Yes, you can indicate anything you see…”
	5:13pm woj: <3 breanna!
	5:13pm headcleaner: Radio doesn't reach the masses like it used to, but it reaches... special people
	5:14pm grtyvr: great rantlet!
	5:14pm fred: @Michael 98145: I can't dance, it's just a sad statement of fact. I'll just have to be the enemy then
	5:14pm Haiku Henry: Art should simply evoke emotion.
	5:14pm PaulRobeson1920: Life and Art- inseparable right
	5:15pm PaulRobeson1920: Art! Art! Art! Toss yer clocks into the sea!
	5:17pm dreamyandseedy: i dig this Breanna track! and i enjoyed your response to the instagram post :)
	5:18pm WM: I agree with you entirely, Shelia. First, use the right tool for the job. If you have a policy you think will further social justice then work on bringing the policy into action, don't write a song about it. Conversely, if you are an artist of any kind don't expect to be praised just because your heart is in the right place - make your art as beautiful, powerful and self-sufficient as possible.
	5:19pm fred: Sorry to be annoying, but I'd appreciate it if someone had a legit bandcamp link for Vartey Ganiva. What I found so far are second hand or dubious
	5:21pm patrick321: varteyganiva.bandcamp.com... This took me to community screen. Seems legit
	5:22pm joe mulligan: thanks for keeping Rockaway on the map Sheila B! The Breanna track is new to me. There's also a new novel about a woman re-inventing herself at the Rockaways: www.goodreads.com...
	5:23pm djsheilab: Thanks for your responses to my rant, WM, dreamyandseedy, PaulRobeson1920, Haiku Henry, grtyvr, BH, headcleaner, northguineahills, Bimbus Bambus + Michael 98145!
	5:23pm eric from lake hiawatha: Sheila compelling music and dialogue. Bless you.
	5:24pm Vanessa Tara: this new ace cd is supposed to be great!
	5:25pm Passaic River Blues: @Fred: patrick321's link seems legit to me, too. You likely came across it, but because Yab Moung is Ganiva's label, this alleged Daft Pop/YM joint release may be legit: daftpop.bandcamp.com...
	5:25pm djsheilab: Perfect song for Cuomo!
	5:26pm WM: Saying art must always address social justice and political issues is just another way of saying there should be no art at all. Some people are intimidated by art and prefer propaganda.
	5:26pm chresti: Hi dj sheilab and boom boom roomers! I’ve always found the term “monkey’s uncle” curious. Taken literally it would mean a man had a nephew that was a monkey??
	5:26pm michael z: Is this Billie Jo Spears song meant to be a pastiche? It's really fun though.
	5:27pm WM: Talk about social relevent art!
	5:27pm WM: Talk about social relevent art!
	5:28pm djsheilab: WM—Well said!
	5:28pm headcleaner: WM - yup, it's definitely a very authoritarian mindset
	5:28pm Ike: All art should be about turnips.
	5:28pm djsheilab: michael z—There are quite a few country records like this, so I suspect not!
	5:29pm PaulRobeson1920: We are always participating in something larger than ourselves. We need each other. The question with any message an artist or Citizen on this land has (or does not know they have) is what is actionable? This is a simplification -but- A conservative like Nixon would be content to narrate the past. Whereas liberal like RFK would looks to the past to draw lessons and inform upon the present! But I digress… i try to steer clear of the politics game, but as a Citizen am born political. No choice in that. A friendly shout to the 2.2 million Souls behind bars in America and 8 million more men and women under supervision of the state on parole… half of that population has a definable mental illness
	5:30pm Vanessa Tara: choctaw ridge would go well with the state of the union cd (also on ace)
	5:30pm Juli: V JPop
	5:30pm djsheilab: Vanessa Tara—Yup! Both were compiled by Bob + Pete of Saint Etienne.
	5:31pm fred: Thanks for the links, I'll have to run these by my consultant (Cambodian cashier at the local supermarket, super knowledgeable about Khmer music)
	5:31pm michael z: Ah! It sounded so much like Ode to Billie Joe or Harper Valley PTA. But then there were lots of girl group answer songs as well. I wondered because of the NYC location.
	5:31pm PaulRobeson1920: Please forgive the typos. Shooting to live from the hip! Here
	5:31pm Vanessa Tara: also on the bear family label there's an excellent series called 'truckers, kickers and cowboy angels'
	5:31pm tim from washington: Hi Shwila! I'm late as usual.
	5:32pm tim from washington: Sorry for the misspell of your name, Sheila!
	5:32pm fred: Also, she can read Khmer, and I can't
	5:32pm headcleaner: Somehow I think the Khmer Rouge would dig this "all art must be socially relevant" angle
	5:33pm tim from washington: @fred - I'm very envious that you have a Khmer consultant!
	5:33pm Vanessa Tara: www.bear-family.com...
	5:34pm ncjay: hmmm. April March track isn't at bandcamp or iT*nes ... ?
	5:34pm Andrea Egert: Happy Friday Sheila B. & Sophisticats!! Alas, it IS a big, bad world...
	5:35pm joe mulligan: @Chresti: I had to look it up, "monkey's uncle" is to express surprise or disbelief, i.e. your sibling wouldnt have a monkey child. but "Bob's your uncle" is completely different
	5:35pm PaulRobeson1920: People are born innately good! The world is OK, baby!
	5:36pm BH: the world is OK, the people can a bit of a challenge though
	5:36pm Andrea Egert: Thank you for this temporal, sonic Friday afternoon oasis, Sheila B. !!<3
	5:36pm dreamyandseedy: those look like fun compilations, thanks vanessa tara!
	5:38pm chresti: Thanks Joe! Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!
	5:39pm BH: the song "Mr. Walker, It's All Over" would any Mr. Walkers of that era concerned about how they were about to be told off
	5:40pm Dayffid: I can't believe I missed the rant!
	5:40pm tim from washington: I need to hear the rant too.
	5:41pm Vanessa Tara: non-snse!
	5:41pm fred: @tim: she's rarely available tough, only when there's a lull and I'm the only one in line. She sometimes cheats to make that happen, so that we can talk about Cambodian music. It's tough because she's very beautiful, but I just want to talk about music, not flirt, and she does know a lot
	5:42pm chresti: fred, our neighbors across the street escaped the Khmer Rouge
	5:42pm chresti: Thanks sheilab!
	5:42pm Rick Hokendauqua: Sheila, I’m with you about declaring art irrelevant if it does not advance a political or social agenda. For where this vile approach to art can lead, just search online for “Entartete Kunst exhibition”.
	5:42pm N.A.: Got it right, Sheila B! “Nonsense”indeed.
	5:43pm djsheilab: Thank you, Rick Hokendauqua!
	5:44pm Ike: I like some critics a lot, but I bet that one was just trying to drive social media engagement by saying something outrageous. As Mark Hurst has probably pointed out, social media algorithms promote this kind of behavior.
	5:44pm djsheilab: N.A.+ Vanessa Tara—I do quite enjoy shouting "Nonsense!"
	5:45pm PaulRobeson1920: Freedom of Expression!!!!! Yes yes yes Context is key. All social life is political… even food choice…. Most people cannot see beyond their everyday. And that can be Ok. Keep searching What is the good life? And how do I lead it? What is the nature of justice? What is the nature of The Good? Deeply human concerns Artists or non-artsist?? Hehehe life is art!!! Art! Art! Art!
	5:46pm djsheilab: Ike—I've got no problem with critics. Just ones who espouse nonsense! And you're right about the algorithims although this person is a friend of a friend.
	5:46pm northguineahills: all things are art, in my mind...(even this mess I need to clean up).
	5:46pm tim from washington: Based on the mini rant I totally agree with you, Sheila! Dictating what art should be about is bad news. Social issues and politics in art that is explicit sometimes hits the mark but most of the time it fails. Art can be political and successful when there's nuance, grey area and it's well thought out; not just a reaction. Successful political art: David Wojnarowicz, Nan Goldin. Unsuccessful political art : the dearth of books dictating uniformity in thought about gender, race and political views.
	5:47pm PaulRobeson1920: Ok here. I’ll be explicit and spell it out. I value the truth and freedom and wisdom. If ya digg it check out this book - “ The Forest and the Trees Book by Allan G. Johnson 2008
	5:47pm joe mulligan: @Ike: true! Two social media peeves of mine are when people make a salacious comment and then say, "Discuss." or even worse, when someone says "AAAAND GO!" I love it when those posts get crickets. Theyr'e just trying to get your goat
	5:48pm RB: fell dead asleep in a chair after getting home . What did I miss ?
	5:49pm Ike: Oh, sorry @Sheila, I must've misunderstood -- I thought it was a social media post -- I know you're not on social anymore, but I figured you'd heard about it through the grapevine or some such.
	5:50pm morphe': Made it back from Foodshopping for THE HAPPY ENDING!! Rated G for all audience Members !!!! ps had to correct auto correct when it changed Foodshopping to woodchopping .. Thanks SBB and all !!!!
	5:50pm djsheilab: Ike—A social media post by a critic who is a friend of a friend :)
	5:50pm mariano: Hey djsheilab, everyone. Been lurking and working, and this show has made it a magical afternoon. Thanks!
	5:51pm PaulRobeson1920: Turn off the T.V and leave it off! WFMU thank goodness for WFMU Oh and I would be remiss if I fail to promote THE REAL DEAL- NYC’s son Neil Postman - “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business” Book by Neil Postman so so good so clear and written in plain english
	5:51pm fred: What I meant about my "consultant" being beautiful is that men tend to flock to her. I avoid her line to get out faster. But she knows my interest in Cambodian music, so once in a few months, we can chat. Can't be planned, but a learning experience for me
	5:54pm PaulRobeson1920: Grass clippings. Station wagon. Station wagon
	5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Sheila. Another outstanding and relevant program today!
	5:55pm joe mulligan: great show today Sheila, and thanks for staying true to yourself!
	5:57pm tim from washington: Thanks, Sheila!
	5:57pm Vanessa Tara: thank you!!!
	5:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Sheila!!
	5:57pm michael z: Thank you Sheila for a beautiful show.
	5:57pm Dayffid: Just chiming in to say I concur with the rant too!
	5:57pm Passaic River Blues: @fred: what does your Cambodian friend think of acts that incorporate Cambodian music such as Khruangbin and Dengue Fever?
	5:57pm chris in the redwoods: thank you, Sheila B! what a great bunch of music you put together for our grateful ears.
	5:57pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank You, Sheila!! I had a lot of fun listening to you! Cheers!
	5:58pm dreamyandseedy: thank you sheila
	5:58pm Ike: Yes @JoeMull, what you said! I'm sure that's what the critic in question was going for. Just stick to ripping things a new one if they suck! For some reason I stumbled across a few scathing old reviews of that cornball Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner flick "The Bodyguard" recently and I ROTFLed. That's the kind of delightfully trashy behavior by critics that I can appreciate! www.washingtonpost.com...
	5:58pm morphe': ps Buffy St Marie(sp?) playing in Prospect Park tonight ...Time?
	5:58pm radioronan: Thanks Sheila!
	5:58pm ncjay: Thanks Sheila - see you next week!
	5:58pm Jocelyn: Thank you Sheila! Wishing everyone a great weekend
	5:59pm Dayffid: thank for the music and the rants!
	5:59pm P-90: Many thanks, Rabbi Sheila
	6:00pm djsheilab: Your rabbi signing off :) Thanks for listening dear friends! See you next week. Xoxoxo
