	4:10pm MONEYBAG$: They are still making music in 2015!
	4:11pm djsheilab: You guys wouldn't believe how well "Blackened" by Metallica worked after that Saint Etienne track. But I figured a 6 minute speed metal song AND Paul Anka with Peter Cetera would be too much for all of us.
	♥ 4:11pm Carmichael: Well, I showed up at the perfect time! Heya Sheila and Parsonians.
	4:12pm djsheilab: That's DEDICATION! @Adrian Love you Londoners!

	4:14pm The Contessa: Oh, sob @Polyus
	4:15pm Baumer!: I've been missing London a lot lately. Been contemplating trying the whole "digital nomad" thing and going there just for a month or so for a change of pace.
	4:15pm MONEYBAG$: Is this song about how he recorded the Pink Floyd song "Time"?
	♥ 4:16pm Adrian in London: @Baumer! I'd wait until spring unless you're particularly into dankness.
	♥ 4:16pm crateslinger: Polyus dude I feel ya. When I was in 7th grade I really wanted a girlfriend.
	♥ 4:16pm Parq: A Japanese version of "Mamacita, Santa Claus" -- the wonder of it all.
	4:17pm Baumer!: @Adrian in London - I'm a Seattlite, London really isn't that different haha
	4:18pm The Contessa: Oooh, near Vancouver @Baumer!
	4:19pm The Contessa: This is fab!!!!
	♥ 4:19pm Adrian in London: @Baumer! Maybe a month in the Algarve would be a better choice. Cheap and sunny.
	4:21pm Baumer!: @The Contessa - yup! Love it up there too. Haven't had a chance to go up and just enjoy the city in forever though. I've only really been up for soccer games since I moved back from the UK haha. There used to be a great mod night up there, not sure if it's still going or not.
	4:22pm Baumer!: @Adrian I have thought about that as well. It might make it hard to actually work though haha.
	♥ 4:28pm Zach: Need to listen to yr show more
	♥ 4:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Speaking of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has anyone heard recent news about Nardwuar? Last I knew, he was discharged from the hospital after his stroke.
	4:32pm Baumer!: That's the last I've heard @Ken From Hyde Park
	♥ 4:33pm Adrian in London: @Ken His latest tweet was on 12 Dec: "Discharged @nardwuar from VGH Stroke Unit today. Outlook surgery in Feb. Thanks for all the support & Tweets!"
	4:35pm Eric Hat: OMG. Thank you for introducing me to that Christine and The Queens track. You made my day instantly!
	4:35pm marc15: Maybe you could play "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" by Gayla Peevey
	4:36pm The Contessa: Check the playlist @marc15
	♥ 4:36pm Parq: Ken, there was a pic on FB -- maybe you saw it -- of him sitting up in bed with his trademark tam and a double thumbs up. He looked pretty dang good.
	4:38pm marc15: I just tuned in I'm sorry
	4:38pm marc15: :(
	4:38pm The Contessa: :-)
	4:39pm djsheilab: All good @marc15. Funny you picked one of the few xmas records I actually played!
	4:41pm marc15: It was my Mom's favorite Christmas song when she was a little girl, that's why I picked it
	♥ 4:45pm JtotheK: this Alder Ray is fantastic!
	♥ 4:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: I checked Nardwuar's Twitter place after I posted. Looks like he's on the road to recovery.
	4:45pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Isn't it killer?!!!! One of my recent finds! SO happy to have it.
	♥ 4:48pm JtotheK: this val mckenna's no slouch, either! the world of northern soul is (incredibly) vast...so many tracks to learn about - i'm adding stuff to the want list every week after your show...thanks!

	4:55pm djsheilab: @JtotheK Wish there was more out there like the Jive Bombers record. I gotta keep digging!
	♥ 4:56pm Zach: AH! this is my song. man you're playing some good j-pop
	♥ 5:00pm Carmichael: There's a Piccadilly comp CD out there that's fantabulous.
	♥ 5:04pm Zach: Sheila, did you ever guest DJ a Transpacific Sound Paradise show like fifteen years ago?
	♥ 5:05pm rsj: tell them that you did not order the dog
	♥ 5:05pm chris: you say, "its not dog food, its dog." that should shut them the hell up.
	5:06pm Baumer!: "I'll have you know it is cat food thank you very much!"
	5:08pm djsheilab: I wish I could be that witty in the moment. I just hung my head down and hoped they would be quiet : (
	5:09pm djsheilab: @Zach I did do a guest spot on Transpacific Sound Paradise 15 years ago! And played lotsa J-pop.
	♥ 5:11pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: And you were on my show around the same time, I'm happy to boast.

	♥ 5:13pm MattBelow: Hey Sheila et all!

	5:22pm Linda Lee: whaaa? that last one.. one of the very best records of my youth .. listened to it obsessively … & i have absolutely no memory of a group called the Charlatans :-D
	5:26pm JakeGould: Mammy kissed Santa Claus? You mean like Al Jolson’s Mammy?
	♥ 5:26pm Carmichael: @Linda Lee: if you remember the 60s, then you weren't there.

	♥ 5:31pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: Santa Claus loves pancakes as much as the next guy!

	♥ 3:30pm sashajones: hi sheila!

	3:39pm Baumer!: Ooh loving this cover.
	3:39pm djsheilab: Hey @sashajones! And to all of you joining in today : )

	3:44pm modchick65: Love that Art Brut song. They make me laugh.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Yeeeeeah! Thanks @Chris! Art Brut crack me up too @modchick65. If only paintings inspired that sort of rowdiness!

	3:49pm burpage: this show is pure energy
	3:53pm modchick65: Sheila, I love Art Brut's song "Moving To LA," too... the line about "I'm drinking Hennessey with Morrisey!" Cackle.
	3:59pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Hopefully the U.S. Orchids like their wonderful Xmas song more than the U.K. Orchids like theirs!
	♥ 4:02pm JtotheK: my top 3 Paul Anka tracks: I Can't Help Loving You; When We Get There; My Baby's Coming Home
	♥ 4:03pm Gaylord Fields: @djsheilab: Aw, I missed Rumer!
	4:04pm djsheilab: @Gaylord But you didn't miss Paul Anka in an excellent striped top!
	♥ 4:04pm Dave in Vermont: Is Peter Cetera on this?
	4:05pm djsheilab: @Dave in Vermont Yes he is!
	4:05pm modchick65: Wow. I haven't heard this Paul Anka song since... the last time there was an awesome Star Wars in the theatres!
	♥ 4:05pm Dave in Vermont: hanging on by my fingernails
	♥ 4:06pm Gaylord Fields: The guys get (striped) shirts!!! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 4:09pm northguineahills: I had no idea Saint Etienne was still making music in 2010.
	♥ 4:10pm Adrian in London: St Etienne played a gig 10 minutes' away from us last Friday but we were here, listening to Sophisticated Boom Boom!
	4:10pm MONEYBAG$: They are still making music in 2015!
	4:11pm djsheilab: You guys wouldn't believe how well "Blackened" by Metallica worked after that Saint Etienne track. But I figured a 6 minute speed metal song AND Paul Anka with Peter Cetera would be too much for all of us.
	♥ 4:11pm Carmichael: Well, I showed up at the perfect time! Heya Sheila and Parsonians.
	4:12pm djsheilab: That's DEDICATION! @Adrian Love you Londoners!

	4:13pm Polyus: Oh no, in the 7th grade I found my girlfriend making out with another guy to this song. Scarred for life by Alan Parsons, a true tale.

	4:14pm The Contessa: Oh, sob @Polyus
	4:15pm Baumer!: I've been missing London a lot lately. Been contemplating trying the whole "digital nomad" thing and going there just for a month or so for a change of pace.
	4:15pm MONEYBAG$: Is this song about how he recorded the Pink Floyd song "Time"?
	♥ 4:16pm Adrian in London: @Baumer! I'd wait until spring unless you're particularly into dankness.
	♥ 4:16pm crateslinger: Polyus dude I feel ya. When I was in 7th grade I really wanted a girlfriend.
	♥ 4:16pm Parq: A Japanese version of "Mamacita, Santa Claus" -- the wonder of it all.
	4:17pm Baumer!: @Adrian in London - I'm a Seattlite, London really isn't that different haha
	4:18pm The Contessa: Oooh, near Vancouver @Baumer!
	4:19pm The Contessa: This is fab!!!!
	♥ 4:19pm Adrian in London: @Baumer! Maybe a month in the Algarve would be a better choice. Cheap and sunny.
	4:21pm Baumer!: @The Contessa - yup! Love it up there too. Haven't had a chance to go up and just enjoy the city in forever though. I've only really been up for soccer games since I moved back from the UK haha. There used to be a great mod night up there, not sure if it's still going or not.
	4:22pm Baumer!: @Adrian I have thought about that as well. It might make it hard to actually work though haha.
	♥ 4:28pm Zach: Need to listen to yr show more
	♥ 4:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Speaking of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has anyone heard recent news about Nardwuar? Last I knew, he was discharged from the hospital after his stroke.

	4:36pm The Contessa: Check the playlist @marc15
	♥ 4:36pm Parq: Ken, there was a pic on FB -- maybe you saw it -- of him sitting up in bed with his trademark tam and a double thumbs up. He looked pretty dang good.
	4:38pm marc15: I just tuned in I'm sorry
	4:38pm marc15: :(
	4:38pm The Contessa: :-)
	4:39pm djsheilab: All good @marc15. Funny you picked one of the few xmas records I actually played!

	♥ 4:56pm Zach: AH! this is my song. man you're playing some good j-pop
	♥ 5:00pm Carmichael: There's a Piccadilly comp CD out there that's fantabulous.
	♥ 5:04pm Zach: Sheila, did you ever guest DJ a Transpacific Sound Paradise show like fifteen years ago?
	♥ 5:05pm rsj: tell them that you did not order the dog
	♥ 5:05pm chris: you say, "its not dog food, its dog." that should shut them the hell up.
	5:06pm Baumer!: "I'll have you know it is cat food thank you very much!"
	5:08pm djsheilab: I wish I could be that witty in the moment. I just hung my head down and hoped they would be quiet : (
	5:09pm djsheilab: @Zach I did do a guest spot on Transpacific Sound Paradise 15 years ago! And played lotsa J-pop.

	5:22pm Linda Lee: whaaa? that last one.. one of the very best records of my youth .. listened to it obsessively … & i have absolutely no memory of a group called the Charlatans :-D
	5:26pm JakeGould: Mammy kissed Santa Claus? You mean like Al Jolson’s Mammy?
	♥ 5:26pm Carmichael: @Linda Lee: if you remember the 60s, then you weren't there.
	5:29pm Linda Lee: @Carmichael .. apparently not the 90s either .. i do remember a group called the Charlatans from the 60s .. but not the early 90s. must investigate this.

	♥ 5:52pm Adrian in London: Just looked up Duffy's facebook. Looks like she released something recently: there's a video for her doing Whole Lotta Love at least. I'll have a listen after the show. That Pepsi ad scuppered her really, didn't it?
