	3:09pm djsheilab: @The Contessa I actually recall my cousin saying that she went on a date with him at some point...haha!
	3:09pm The Contessa: He said: Are you from London? We were like, yeah, whatever. Then he turned out to be head of the jury at the magic festival He's a fantastic close-up magician. I've got his number, somewhere!
	3:10pm Baumer!: Happy new year boom boomers. Its good to be back.
	3:10pm Baumer!: @DJSheilaB I've been in the same boat this week, just hanging on for this!
	3:11pm The Contessa: Well, he is very good looking. Then he was singer, I think. A duo
	3:13pm Adrian in London: Don't want to push you over the edge Sheila but André Courrèges has died, aged 92. #Go-go boots :-(
	3:13pm djsheilab: Very good looking + you have his number! Way to go @theContessa! Please pass it on..hehe ; )
	3:14pm The Contessa: Hmm, if I can find it! It's on the back of a card somewhere in my archive…

	3:16pm sugarwolf: Hello hello
	3:17pm modchick65: @djsheilab -- I have a recommendation for you. Check out Lyla Foy's album "Mirrors In The Sky." It's a beautiful discovery of a record.
	3:18pm djsheilab: @Modchick65! Happy new year + thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely check it out.
	3:20pm The Contessa: @Sheila we are also in deep mourning. Look on IstDibs you'll find fab vintage dresses etc. At a price!
	3:21pm Bronwyn Bishop: Loved that Donna Summer song!
	3:21pm djsheilab: @Bronwyn Bishop Courtesy of Flashdance!
	3:21pm sugarwolf: The good thing about not getting to take lunch until late is I can listen to the show for a bit!!
	3:22pm listener james from westwood: Sorry this week has been so rough. If it helps, it's tough imagining WFMU before your show made the station even more amazing than it already was. A weekly must-listen-live event.
	3:23pm Guido from Cologne: Stella vander! :-) the RPM-compilation CD is considerable. Some more of her mod/psych-stuff.
	3:23pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I'm thinking positive thoughts of you.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Oh wow....thank you so much @Listener James + @Gaylord Fields. You guys are lovely : )
	3:26pm Uncle Michael: Hola!
	3:26pm Risky: I love Sophisticated Boom Boom, long over due! Great show, Sheila, you can hear the love spun!
	3:27pm Guido from Cologne: Little Eva sinf Dave Dee DM&T! Odd!
	3:28pm modchick65: @djsheilab -- Girlfriend, get a flu shot!!! ;)
	3:29pm Sean: Too sick for record shopping? Yikes! Feel better.
	3:30pm sugarwolf: I was worried I was coming down with my third cold in as many months but thank goodness not. Get better soon, Sheila!!
	3:30pm Listener Robert: "I No Longer Recognize Myself in the Mirror".
	3:31pm Miss Mailas: Hi, Sheila! You should try a few drops of Oil of Oregano! It gives your immune system a kick in the bum!
	3:31pm The Contessa: Talk about dresses more!!
	3:31pm Listener Robert: Sorry if I wasn't clear, but that's English for "Je Ne Me Reconnais Plus Dans La Glace".
	3:31pm sugarwolf: Ohhhh noooooooo
	3:31pm The Contessa: Oh my God!
	3:31pm Adrian in London: Oh my God!!!!
	3:32pm sugarwolf: RIP dress
	3:32pm redkayak: Howdy all :)
	3:33pm Uncle Michael: patter songs? Neil Diamond's "Done Too Soon?"
	3:33pm Listener Robert: Interesting disclaimer on the bottom of that cover, "This song was not selected for the 1967 Eurovision grand prize."
	3:33pm Stevel: People who died/Jim Carrol.
	3:34pm exiledinbk: This was also used for a mcdonalds commerical. They changed the lyrics for the ingrediants of a big mac.
	3:34pm sugarwolf: I am knitting a scarf from Tracy Ullman's pattern book.
	3:34pm divinegeometries: I like this definition of the patter-song..
	3:34pm Joe McG: "Give Peace a Chance"! (Feel better, Sheila!)
	3:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: IDK if this counts as a patter song but I'd say my favorite "too many words" type of song is La Chanson de Jacky by Jacques Brel (aka "Jackie" by everyone from Scott Walker to Marc Almond to Mike Patton).
	3:34pm sphere: a mall in Montgomery County also used "Life Is a Rock" for TV and radio commercials.
	3:35pm Bronwyn Bishop: Tracey is referencing everything I love. Matt and Trey! Beach Boys! Go Tracey go!
	3:38pm Adrian in London: Tracey is back, apparently. She's on the cover of the Radio Times this week.
	3:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: This cover is better than the original.
	3:39pm Guido from Cologne: Love that "UK Beat Girls"-Comp ... and it#s annotations :-)
	3:39pm still b/p: There's patter and then there's its cousin, chitter-chatter 'bout shmatta, shmatta, shmatta.
	3:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good afternoon, my sophisticated friends. I'm currently dining on Icelandic skyr yogurt. With a pinkie in the air.
	3:41pm Bronwyn Bishop: Another cool cover!
	3:42pm djsheilab: @Miss Mailas Thanks for the flu-kicking tip!
	3:42pm Adrian in London: @Ken Is it made from congealed shark guts, like most Icelandic cuisine?
	3:42pm MONEYBAG$: I had this song in my head 30 minutes ago
	3:43pm The Contessa: @Ken, how's your weather. It's chilly here in London
	3:43pm rascal yammers: Your playlists are awesome... Thanks!
	3:44pm djsheilab: I seem to be gravitating towards covers this week. Got another Donovan one coming up later in the show @Brownyn Bishop
	3:44pm Gaylord Fields: Yay! Birdie!
	3:45pm djsheilab: Thanks @Rascal Yammers! I hope that's your real name cos I dig it big time ; )
	3:45pm Adrian in London: Luna did a lovely version of Season of the Witch too
	3:45pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and boom boomers. Joining the Friday party. Let's all dance.
	3:45pm The Contessa: @Sheila Echinaforce drops are the best. You can take the dose on the hour and you're better before you get ill!
	3:46pm still b/p: Going to London in a few days and just looked at the forecast today...sheesh -- not much warmer than New England.
	3:46pm Guido from Cologne: i cannot stop recommending all footage of Auger/Discroll/Trinity. One must see them in order to understand how awesome they really were.
	3:47pm JohnEBGood: Nice show Sheila. Get well soon. First time listener.
	3:47pm The Contessa: And @still b/p I'm afraid it's raining… We hate winter
	3:48pm djsheilab: @Guido from Cologne I don't think I've seen any footage. Must get on that. Thanks!
	3:48pm KP: Good afternoon, Sheila!
	3:49pm Adrian in London: @still b/p If you're here on 22 Jan, Tindersticks are doing an acoustic gig at Rough Trade East; you have to order a copy of their LP in advance for entry. And Jimi Tenor's playing with Tony Allen on the 23rd at Cafe Oto. Come along!!
	3:49pm djsheilab: Hey @KP + @CoolJohn! Everyone's tuning in today. Hurray!
	3:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian - Fortunately, no. Just the usual ingredients along with blueberries. www.siggisdairy.com @The Contessa - Quite nice for January. About 42F / 6C and sunny. I was surprised to come across Contessa Reserve frozen foods at a grocery store yesterday. I must try them some time.
	3:50pm djsheilab: I'm not used to playing drum n' bass and levels are full into the red. Sounding okay out there?
	3:51pm Adrian in London: @djsheilab Sounds lovely and mellow on our Cambridge Audio sub and satellites!
	3:51pm The Contessa: @Ken Ha! If only they were THIS Contessa's frozen Reserves
	3:51pm djsheilab: Excellent!
	3:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: I just sent out my first round of job applications guys! Graduating in May and hoping for a job in NYC so I can hang out at WFMU (that's literally most of the reason.) Positive vibes, crossed fingers, and sacrifices to various gods on my behalf would be appreciated :D
	3:54pm Dagwood: Feel better Sheila. I'm glad I could catch another great show.
	3:55pm still b/p: @ Adrian, thanks. Traveling companion's interest in Lumiere London is the reason for our timing. Still working on the do-list for my first time there.
	3:56pm KP: Good luck, Bronwyn. We have faith in you.
	3:56pm rascal yammers: ha, thanks.. maybe I'll take it as a stage name for my punk country crooner act;)
	3:56pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thanks KP!
	3:58pm Baumer!: Ok off to an appointment, will be listening in the app in the car. wish me luck people
	3:58pm Adrian in London: @still b/p Oh yeah. the Lumiere stuff looks good. Feel free to email me on my profile if you need any help or advice or anything.
	3:59pm LightningsGirl: My ears are hugging this playlist. Been on an explicable Julie Driscoll kick too. Kismet!
	3:59pm Guido from Cologne: Wanda!
	4:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: Wanda Jackson is the best!!!
	4:00pm modchick65: It's amazing how many people insist on having business conversations with my on Friday afternoons. When I'm trying to listen to Sophisticated Boom Boom!
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanda Jackson - communicates Swing, sex, innocence - & a few things I can't put my finger on exactly besides...
	4:01pm listener james from westwood: Huge luck, Bronwyn!
	4:01pm Guido from Cologne: And need that Gloria Ann Taylor
	4:01pm Adrian in London: When I was really little my dad had a rock'n'roll comp that had Wanda's Let's Have a Party on it. I couldn't believe her voice.
	4:03pm Eric: reminding me of Delilah
	4:06pm modchick65: I just followed Things I Found In Records on Instagram. Thanks for the tip!
	4:07pm MONEYBAG$: ok, looking at these pics will be a good way to waste the rest of the work day
	4:10pm Gaylord Fields: The ultimate patter song is "The Elements," by Tom Lehrer: www.youtube.com...
	4:11pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Sheila & all!
	4:11pm TDK60: The Jades, very '64!
	4:13pm Guido from Cologne: This show today is very much my taste!
	4:15pm bob: Ohhhh, I love this Donovan song. Even the Deep Purple version.
	4:15pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I love it when I hear a song and subsequently discover I already own the record — thanks for playing the flip side of that Dawn 45!
	4:16pm KP: Nice Leitch cover!
	4:16pm MONEYBAG$: next time I get rid of a pile of unwanted records, I'll stick random stuff in them first
	4:17pm Adrian in London: @bob Thanks for getting me lots of Twitter traffic from Dorking FC fans yesterday! Up The Chicks!
	4:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Best of luck on your job search, Bronwyn. I'm sure you'll do fine.
	4:20pm The Contessa: @Sheila, are you feeling a bit better yet? We all are, thanks
	4:21pm JtotheK: hi everybody. cool tunes today sheila, been tuned in via the app...
	4:23pm djsheilab: @The Contessa Much better, thank you! Dancing in the studio now.
	4:24pm listener james from westwood: Cornell cut = first song ever about an incubus attack?
	4:24pm The Contessa: This is a bit creepy :-)
	4:25pm JtotheK: also Sheila, I have a 45 to recommend, Rose Valentine 'I Gotta Know Right Now' on RCA, area record store has/had it, but alas my 45 spins this year will be few and far between, so i left for someone else to procure and (hopefully) play out... and p.s. hope you feel better!
	4:26pm Mark R: Lynn Cornell's voice doesn't really sound like her, but there's something in her delivery that kind of reminds me of Shirley Bassey. (It's Shirley's birthday today, if you're interested!) Hope you're all better soon, Sheila.
	4:30pm Mark R: I know you lived in London, but did you also live in Japan for a while, Sheila? You seem to be extremely well-versed in Japanese pop! I really loved those Japanese Christmas songs you played, btw. I was going to play one of them on my Christmas Eve fill-in, but it was only on youtube and then I forgot about it, so the hell with it!
	4:33pm Mark R: Gaylord, I love Tom Lehrer and wanted to play "The Vatican Rag" on one of my fill-ins around when the Pope was in town, but the Lehrer collection in the library doesn't have that on it! :(
	4:34pm Gaylord Fields: @Mark R: Whaaaaaaat?!
	4:38pm modchick65: @djsheilab - Omg. This is painful to listen to -- she's asking him intelligent questions about his work, and he's being a lech. She probably wants to slug him.
	4:38pm djsheilab: Here's the link to the two-part series on WHER-America's first female radio station from 1955. www.openculture.com...
	4:38pm Mark R: I hope I'm wrong and I just missed it--it's a very comprehensive collection, too--a double album. But I'm not the world's best looker and finder of things--just ask my wife. Take a look when you're in on Sunday, maybe I missed it!
	4:38pm Adrian in London: Eurgh, that was creepy. Times haven't changed that much, sadly, especially if you're cricketer Chris Gayle www.theguardian.com...
	4:39pm Gaylord Fields: @Mark R: I will. I'm incredulous.
	4:40pm Miss Mailas: That WHER two-parter was one of my favourite podcasts of last year! What a fantastic story, and who better than the Kitchen Sisters to tell it. Also really looking forward to reading that new biography of Sam Phillips that just came out.
	4:44pm Adrian in London: Ooh, this Amason track's great, sort of Fleetwood Mac-y
	4:44pm The Contessa: Love this one!
	4:45pm modchick65: I like this Amason track. It has a sort of '70s AM Gold/Fleetwood Mac/winter vibe to it.
	4:45pm listener james from westwood: Thirding the Amason love!
	4:48pm Julie: "the tabulations"
	4:49pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: Maybe they formed their singing group at PriceWaterhouse.
	4:50pm common: good stuff
	4:50pm Julie: If only they were all playing adding machines
	4:50pm listener james from westwood: So lush, this production. Feels like a movie theme.
	4:54pm SheWolf: oh my goodness this beautiful song is being mauled to death
	4:55pm Adrian in London: By the way, did everyone see the best drummer in the world yesterday? twitter.com...
	4:55pm Gaylord Fields: Just stop it, Sheila!!! "Big Bad World" is one of my all-time favorites!
	5:01pm Adrian in London: Yes, Pastles is right ;-)
	5:05pm listener james from westwood: Now we're cookin'!
	5:05pm Miss Mailas: I swear this song was used in one of the advanced levels of Dance Dance Revolution.
	5:05pm Andrew Waterloo: Nothing is going to go wrong in this set.
	5:06pm common: insane
	5:06pm Cooh John: Love some jpop with my boom boom.
	5:09pm djsheilab: Verrrrrrry hard to find something to follow that insane J-pop madness!!!!!!!!!!
	5:10pm Guido from Cologne: you succeed
	5:10pm djsheilab: Thanks @Guido!
	5:22pm Adrian in London: I feel sorry for you Americans who are pretending to work while you're listening to this. pours another glass of wine
	5:24pm herb.nyc: Much fun music. Im a sucker for slow stuff, like that niiiice "season of the witch". (And may it be the season of Bronwyn B, and good$1 finds at strand books. I got eggers, krassner, and shrigley books. All to be given away)
	5:24pm common: i hear you adrian...drinks a beer
	5:25pm The Contessa: @Adrian in fabulous London Cheers darling!
	5:30pm LightningsGirl: YAAAAYYYY!!! Thanks for the shout out lady. I will keep an eye out for that Whyte Horses record for ya.
	5:31pm Carmichael: Pardon my tardiness. Just now digging out at work.
	5:33pm Adrian in London: Lana did a signing at Rough Trade east in London last autumn and was charm itself, by all accounts
	5:35pm Carmichael: So really, Tracy Ulmann did a version of Life is a Rock?? I thrill and amaze when I recite that tune at parties ...
	5:36pm Adrian in London: The Contessa bought me a copy of this album but it was the wrong vinyl weight so i sent it back. I know, gift horses, mouths.
	5:37pm djsheilab: You can recite that tune at parties @Carmichael? Oh my god...I wanna have that skill! I'm gonna practice!!! : )
	5:37pm common: love this song. her voice is so good
	5:38pm Adrian in London: Oh, this LP cover is SOOOO 1985… sprays hair UP!!
	5:38pm JtotheK: Til Tuesday! Great tune!
	5:38pm Listener Robert: And here all this time I thought the lyric was "Even downtown, this is scary."
	5:38pm Carmichael: Sadly, yes. Nerdy misspent youth and a need for attention, I guess.
	5:39pm herb.nyc: At the Aimee Ted Xmas show , they did a funny version of this song. I wish I could remember it.
	5:42pm common: i wish those were the lyrics, robert!
	5:42pm Guido from Cologne: Very much enjoyed thank you sheila
	5:43pm Carmichael: I have a Laura Nyro best of that's just killer.
	5:47pm Roy B: JJ
	5:50pm JtotheK: this kitty white is great! (the more 'popcorn' records i hear the more i want to hear...more of them!)
	5:50pm Roy B: ...and the Outlaws...yes!!!
	5:52pm danh: Probably the best episode of sophisticated boom boom yet.
	5:53pm RZ: I agree, danh! Nice work, Sheila, as always, but this one gets a star. :)
	5:55pm JtotheK: Timiko -- nice! Great show today Sheila. Thanks so much!
	5:56pm djsheilab: Thank you so much all! I felt so good doing this one. Glad you felt it too!
	5:57pm The Contessa: Fun show, fun evening, thanks Sheila! Have a better week next week. Hug :-)
	5:57pm Adrian in London: Loved it. Have a great week. x
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Thx. Feel better.
	5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: See what a little Vitamin Boom Boom can do? It works wonders! Have a nice week, Sheila.

	3:09pm The Contessa: He said: Are you from London? We were like, yeah, whatever. Then he turned out to be head of the jury at the magic festival He's a fantastic close-up magician. I've got his number, somewhere!

	3:10pm Baumer!: @DJSheilaB I've been in the same boat this week, just hanging on for this!
	3:11pm The Contessa: Well, he is very good looking. Then he was singer, I think. A duo
	3:13pm Adrian in London: Don't want to push you over the edge Sheila but André Courrèges has died, aged 92. #Go-go boots :-(

	3:16pm sugarwolf: Hello hello
	3:17pm modchick65: @djsheilab -- I have a recommendation for you. Check out Lyla Foy's album "Mirrors In The Sky." It's a beautiful discovery of a record.
	3:18pm djsheilab: @Modchick65! Happy new year + thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely check it out.
	3:20pm The Contessa: @Sheila we are also in deep mourning. Look on IstDibs you'll find fab vintage dresses etc. At a price!
	3:21pm Bronwyn Bishop: Loved that Donna Summer song!
	3:21pm djsheilab: @Bronwyn Bishop Courtesy of Flashdance!
	3:21pm sugarwolf: The good thing about not getting to take lunch until late is I can listen to the show for a bit!!
	3:22pm listener james from westwood: Sorry this week has been so rough. If it helps, it's tough imagining WFMU before your show made the station even more amazing than it already was. A weekly must-listen-live event.
	3:23pm Guido from Cologne: Stella vander! :-) the RPM-compilation CD is considerable. Some more of her mod/psych-stuff.
	3:23pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I'm thinking positive thoughts of you.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Oh wow....thank you so much @Listener James + @Gaylord Fields. You guys are lovely : )

	3:30pm Listener Robert: "I No Longer Recognize Myself in the Mirror".
	3:31pm Miss Mailas: Hi, Sheila! You should try a few drops of Oil of Oregano! It gives your immune system a kick in the bum!
	3:31pm The Contessa: Talk about dresses more!!
	3:31pm Listener Robert: Sorry if I wasn't clear, but that's English for "Je Ne Me Reconnais Plus Dans La Glace".
	3:31pm sugarwolf: Ohhhh noooooooo
	3:31pm The Contessa: Oh my God!
	3:31pm Adrian in London: Oh my God!!!!
	3:32pm sugarwolf: RIP dress
	3:32pm redkayak: Howdy all :)
	3:33pm Uncle Michael: patter songs? Neil Diamond's "Done Too Soon?"
	3:33pm Listener Robert: Interesting disclaimer on the bottom of that cover, "This song was not selected for the 1967 Eurovision grand prize."
	3:33pm Stevel: People who died/Jim Carrol.
	3:34pm exiledinbk: This was also used for a mcdonalds commerical. They changed the lyrics for the ingrediants of a big mac.
	3:34pm sugarwolf: I am knitting a scarf from Tracy Ullman's pattern book.
	3:34pm divinegeometries: I like this definition of the patter-song..
	3:34pm Joe McG: "Give Peace a Chance"! (Feel better, Sheila!)
	3:34pm Bronwyn Bishop: IDK if this counts as a patter song but I'd say my favorite "too many words" type of song is La Chanson de Jacky by Jacques Brel (aka "Jackie" by everyone from Scott Walker to Marc Almond to Mike Patton).
	3:34pm sphere: a mall in Montgomery County also used "Life Is a Rock" for TV and radio commercials.
	3:35pm Bronwyn Bishop: Tracey is referencing everything I love. Matt and Trey! Beach Boys! Go Tracey go!
	3:38pm Adrian in London: Tracey is back, apparently. She's on the cover of the Radio Times this week.
	3:38pm Bronwyn Bishop: This cover is better than the original.
	3:39pm Guido from Cologne: Love that "UK Beat Girls"-Comp ... and it#s annotations :-)
	3:39pm still b/p: There's patter and then there's its cousin, chitter-chatter 'bout shmatta, shmatta, shmatta.
	3:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good afternoon, my sophisticated friends. I'm currently dining on Icelandic skyr yogurt. With a pinkie in the air.
	3:41pm Bronwyn Bishop: Another cool cover!
	3:42pm djsheilab: @Miss Mailas Thanks for the flu-kicking tip!
	3:42pm Adrian in London: @Ken Is it made from congealed shark guts, like most Icelandic cuisine?
	3:42pm MONEYBAG$: I had this song in my head 30 minutes ago
	3:43pm The Contessa: @Ken, how's your weather. It's chilly here in London
	3:43pm rascal yammers: Your playlists are awesome... Thanks!
	3:44pm djsheilab: I seem to be gravitating towards covers this week. Got another Donovan one coming up later in the show @Brownyn Bishop
	3:44pm Gaylord Fields: Yay! Birdie!
	3:45pm djsheilab: Thanks @Rascal Yammers! I hope that's your real name cos I dig it big time ; )
	3:45pm Adrian in London: Luna did a lovely version of Season of the Witch too
	3:45pm Cooh John: Hello djsheilab and boom boomers. Joining the Friday party. Let's all dance.
	3:45pm The Contessa: @Sheila Echinaforce drops are the best. You can take the dose on the hour and you're better before you get ill!
	3:46pm still b/p: Going to London in a few days and just looked at the forecast today...sheesh -- not much warmer than New England.
	3:46pm Guido from Cologne: i cannot stop recommending all footage of Auger/Discroll/Trinity. One must see them in order to understand how awesome they really were.
	3:47pm JohnEBGood: Nice show Sheila. Get well soon. First time listener.
	3:47pm The Contessa: And @still b/p I'm afraid it's raining… We hate winter
	3:48pm djsheilab: @Guido from Cologne I don't think I've seen any footage. Must get on that. Thanks!
	3:48pm KP: Good afternoon, Sheila!
	3:49pm Adrian in London: @still b/p If you're here on 22 Jan, Tindersticks are doing an acoustic gig at Rough Trade East; you have to order a copy of their LP in advance for entry. And Jimi Tenor's playing with Tony Allen on the 23rd at Cafe Oto. Come along!!
	3:49pm djsheilab: Hey @KP + @CoolJohn! Everyone's tuning in today. Hurray!
	3:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Adrian - Fortunately, no. Just the usual ingredients along with blueberries. www.siggisdairy.com @The Contessa - Quite nice for January. About 42F / 6C and sunny. I was surprised to come across Contessa Reserve frozen foods at a grocery store yesterday. I must try them some time.
	3:50pm djsheilab: I'm not used to playing drum n' bass and levels are full into the red. Sounding okay out there?
	3:51pm Adrian in London: @djsheilab Sounds lovely and mellow on our Cambridge Audio sub and satellites!
	3:51pm The Contessa: @Ken Ha! If only they were THIS Contessa's frozen Reserves
	3:51pm djsheilab: Excellent!
	3:53pm Bronwyn Bishop: I just sent out my first round of job applications guys! Graduating in May and hoping for a job in NYC so I can hang out at WFMU (that's literally most of the reason.) Positive vibes, crossed fingers, and sacrifices to various gods on my behalf would be appreciated :D
	3:54pm Dagwood: Feel better Sheila. I'm glad I could catch another great show.
	3:55pm still b/p: @ Adrian, thanks. Traveling companion's interest in Lumiere London is the reason for our timing. Still working on the do-list for my first time there.
	3:56pm KP: Good luck, Bronwyn. We have faith in you.
	3:56pm rascal yammers: ha, thanks.. maybe I'll take it as a stage name for my punk country crooner act;)
	3:56pm Bronwyn Bishop: Thanks KP!
	3:58pm Baumer!: Ok off to an appointment, will be listening in the app in the car. wish me luck people
	3:58pm Adrian in London: @still b/p Oh yeah. the Lumiere stuff looks good. Feel free to email me on my profile if you need any help or advice or anything.
	3:59pm LightningsGirl: My ears are hugging this playlist. Been on an explicable Julie Driscoll kick too. Kismet!
	3:59pm Guido from Cologne: Wanda!
	4:00pm Bronwyn Bishop: Wanda Jackson is the best!!!
	4:00pm modchick65: It's amazing how many people insist on having business conversations with my on Friday afternoons. When I'm trying to listen to Sophisticated Boom Boom!
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanda Jackson - communicates Swing, sex, innocence - & a few things I can't put my finger on exactly besides...
	4:01pm listener james from westwood: Huge luck, Bronwyn!
	4:01pm Guido from Cologne: And need that Gloria Ann Taylor
	4:01pm Adrian in London: When I was really little my dad had a rock'n'roll comp that had Wanda's Let's Have a Party on it. I couldn't believe her voice.
	4:03pm Eric: reminding me of Delilah
	4:06pm modchick65: I just followed Things I Found In Records on Instagram. Thanks for the tip!
	4:07pm MONEYBAG$: ok, looking at these pics will be a good way to waste the rest of the work day
	4:10pm Gaylord Fields: The ultimate patter song is "The Elements," by Tom Lehrer: www.youtube.com...
	4:11pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Sheila & all!
	4:11pm TDK60: The Jades, very '64!
	4:13pm Guido from Cologne: This show today is very much my taste!
	4:15pm bob: Ohhhh, I love this Donovan song. Even the Deep Purple version.
	4:15pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: I love it when I hear a song and subsequently discover I already own the record — thanks for playing the flip side of that Dawn 45!
	4:16pm KP: Nice Leitch cover!
	4:16pm MONEYBAG$: next time I get rid of a pile of unwanted records, I'll stick random stuff in them first
	4:17pm Adrian in London: @bob Thanks for getting me lots of Twitter traffic from Dorking FC fans yesterday! Up The Chicks!
	4:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Best of luck on your job search, Bronwyn. I'm sure you'll do fine.
	4:20pm The Contessa: @Sheila, are you feeling a bit better yet? We all are, thanks
	4:21pm JtotheK: hi everybody. cool tunes today sheila, been tuned in via the app...
	4:23pm djsheilab: @The Contessa Much better, thank you! Dancing in the studio now.
	4:24pm listener james from westwood: Cornell cut = first song ever about an incubus attack?
	4:24pm The Contessa: This is a bit creepy :-)
	4:25pm JtotheK: also Sheila, I have a 45 to recommend, Rose Valentine 'I Gotta Know Right Now' on RCA, area record store has/had it, but alas my 45 spins this year will be few and far between, so i left for someone else to procure and (hopefully) play out... and p.s. hope you feel better!
	4:26pm Mark R: Lynn Cornell's voice doesn't really sound like her, but there's something in her delivery that kind of reminds me of Shirley Bassey. (It's Shirley's birthday today, if you're interested!) Hope you're all better soon, Sheila.
	4:30pm Mark R: I know you lived in London, but did you also live in Japan for a while, Sheila? You seem to be extremely well-versed in Japanese pop! I really loved those Japanese Christmas songs you played, btw. I was going to play one of them on my Christmas Eve fill-in, but it was only on youtube and then I forgot about it, so the hell with it!
	4:33pm Mark R: Gaylord, I love Tom Lehrer and wanted to play "The Vatican Rag" on one of my fill-ins around when the Pope was in town, but the Lehrer collection in the library doesn't have that on it! :(
	4:34pm Gaylord Fields: @Mark R: Whaaaaaaat?!
	4:38pm modchick65: @djsheilab - Omg. This is painful to listen to -- she's asking him intelligent questions about his work, and he's being a lech. She probably wants to slug him.
	4:38pm djsheilab: Here's the link to the two-part series on WHER-America's first female radio station from 1955. www.openculture.com...
	4:38pm Mark R: I hope I'm wrong and I just missed it--it's a very comprehensive collection, too--a double album. But I'm not the world's best looker and finder of things--just ask my wife. Take a look when you're in on Sunday, maybe I missed it!
	4:38pm Adrian in London: Eurgh, that was creepy. Times haven't changed that much, sadly, especially if you're cricketer Chris Gayle www.theguardian.com...
	4:39pm Gaylord Fields: @Mark R: I will. I'm incredulous.
	4:40pm Miss Mailas: That WHER two-parter was one of my favourite podcasts of last year! What a fantastic story, and who better than the Kitchen Sisters to tell it. Also really looking forward to reading that new biography of Sam Phillips that just came out.
	4:44pm Adrian in London: Ooh, this Amason track's great, sort of Fleetwood Mac-y
	4:44pm The Contessa: Love this one!
	4:45pm modchick65: I like this Amason track. It has a sort of '70s AM Gold/Fleetwood Mac/winter vibe to it.
	4:45pm listener james from westwood: Thirding the Amason love!
	4:48pm Julie: "the tabulations"
	4:49pm Gaylord Fields: @Julie: Maybe they formed their singing group at PriceWaterhouse.
	4:50pm common: good stuff
	4:50pm Julie: If only they were all playing adding machines
	4:50pm listener james from westwood: So lush, this production. Feels like a movie theme.
	4:54pm SheWolf: oh my goodness this beautiful song is being mauled to death
	4:55pm Adrian in London: By the way, did everyone see the best drummer in the world yesterday? twitter.com...
	4:55pm Gaylord Fields: Just stop it, Sheila!!! "Big Bad World" is one of my all-time favorites!
	5:01pm Adrian in London: Yes, Pastles is right ;-)
	5:05pm listener james from westwood: Now we're cookin'!
	5:05pm Miss Mailas: I swear this song was used in one of the advanced levels of Dance Dance Revolution.
	5:05pm Andrew Waterloo: Nothing is going to go wrong in this set.
	5:06pm common: insane
	5:06pm Cooh John: Love some jpop with my boom boom.
	5:09pm djsheilab: Verrrrrrry hard to find something to follow that insane J-pop madness!!!!!!!!!!
	5:10pm Guido from Cologne: you succeed
	5:10pm djsheilab: Thanks @Guido!
	5:22pm Adrian in London: I feel sorry for you Americans who are pretending to work while you're listening to this. pours another glass of wine
	5:24pm herb.nyc: Much fun music. Im a sucker for slow stuff, like that niiiice "season of the witch". (And may it be the season of Bronwyn B, and good$1 finds at strand books. I got eggers, krassner, and shrigley books. All to be given away)
	5:24pm common: i hear you adrian...drinks a beer
	5:25pm The Contessa: @Adrian in fabulous London Cheers darling!
	5:30pm LightningsGirl: YAAAAYYYY!!! Thanks for the shout out lady. I will keep an eye out for that Whyte Horses record for ya.
	5:31pm Carmichael: Pardon my tardiness. Just now digging out at work.
	5:33pm Adrian in London: Lana did a signing at Rough Trade east in London last autumn and was charm itself, by all accounts
	5:35pm Carmichael: So really, Tracy Ulmann did a version of Life is a Rock?? I thrill and amaze when I recite that tune at parties ...
	5:36pm Adrian in London: The Contessa bought me a copy of this album but it was the wrong vinyl weight so i sent it back. I know, gift horses, mouths.
	5:37pm djsheilab: You can recite that tune at parties @Carmichael? Oh my god...I wanna have that skill! I'm gonna practice!!! : )
	5:37pm common: love this song. her voice is so good
	5:38pm Adrian in London: Oh, this LP cover is SOOOO 1985… sprays hair UP!!
	5:38pm JtotheK: Til Tuesday! Great tune!
	5:38pm Listener Robert: And here all this time I thought the lyric was "Even downtown, this is scary."
	5:38pm Carmichael: Sadly, yes. Nerdy misspent youth and a need for attention, I guess.
	5:39pm herb.nyc: At the Aimee Ted Xmas show , they did a funny version of this song. I wish I could remember it.
	5:42pm common: i wish those were the lyrics, robert!
	5:42pm Guido from Cologne: Very much enjoyed thank you sheila
	5:43pm Carmichael: I have a Laura Nyro best of that's just killer.
	5:47pm Roy B: JJ
	5:50pm JtotheK: this kitty white is great! (the more 'popcorn' records i hear the more i want to hear...more of them!)
	5:50pm Roy B: ...and the Outlaws...yes!!!
	5:52pm danh: Probably the best episode of sophisticated boom boom yet.
	5:53pm RZ: I agree, danh! Nice work, Sheila, as always, but this one gets a star. :)
	5:55pm JtotheK: Timiko -- nice! Great show today Sheila. Thanks so much!
