For the second Singles Going Steady Week in a row, Gaylord Fields and What's Happening?!?! host Matt Clarke will lead a two-man British Invasion with two hours of small-hole 45s from their respective mid-'60s Beat Group collections. If tradition follows, you will hear as many songs by Tony Jackson and the Vibrations or the Chimes Featuring Denise as by the Beatles.

	Sun. 5/15/16 5:13pm KP: Hey, Gaylord. I just made it.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:14pm Gaylord Fields: @KP: Whew (and not "phew," as most people spell it these days)!
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:14pm Gaylord Fields: Hiya, Sem Chumbo!
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:15pm P-90: Gaylord, I feel like you just might understand, a litlle, that in this terrible season in which we've lost so many familiar and beloved performers, the passing of actor William Schallert is proving to be a real hard one for me. I mean real hard. I'm not being cutesy or facetious. Not to lay too much of a bummer on your comments board, I hope...
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:16pm Gaylord Fields: @P-90: I'm a very sympathetic person as a genuine Wm. Schallert fan myself.
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 5:19pm redkayak: Good evening all :)
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 5:19pm Uncle Michael: Greetings.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:21pm Gaylord Fields: Good, good day to you, redkayak!
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:21pm Gaylord Fields: Glad you dropped by, Uncle Michael!
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 5:22pm Uncle Michael: I'm here for the post-baseball salve.
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 5:22pm redkayak: @gaylord TY sir!
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 5:24pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord's show is a tonic.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:24pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: Aw, shucks!
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:32pm geezerette: P-90 and Gaylord: Didn't know about the passing of William Schallert. Want you to know he was a loved and respected president of the Screen Actors Guild and by all accounts as kind and gentle as he appeared to be.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:33pm famous original icecreamwolf: gaylord you are the perfect accompaniment to mango Italian ice and banana soft serve
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:35pm geezerette: ...and that Anna Homler's visual work is as beautiful and mysterious as her music.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:36pm Gaylord Fields: @famous original icecreamwolf: I had a banana Italian ice in Queens on Friday, post-Ramones exhibition. That's close.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:39pm Adrian in London: Just tuning in. That Anna Homler track sounded intriguing. Think someone else played it this week too. Must investigate further.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:40pm Sem Chumbo: Such a spare arrangement, so elegant.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:41pm Gaylord Fields: Welcome, Adrian in London! I'm very pleased there's new Anna Homler to share.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:41pm P-90: re: Ramones Exhibition. Thumbs up?
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:41pm JakeGould: @Gaylord: How were the old, unwashed t-shirts they hung on a wall at that exhibition? Also, I want a rainbow ice now.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:42pm Gaylord Fields: @JakeGould: They didn't smell, if that's what you mean. And what a shame they didn't.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:43pm Adrian in London: @Gaylord Ah, just looked her up. Breadwoman. She played London a couple of months ago, that's how I know about her. Sounds good.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:46pm bill: do you have any lalo schifrin handy?
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:47pm Gaylord Fields: @bill: Not today.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:48pm bill: i guess my mission really is impossible
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:49pm Gaylord Fields: @bill: Ha! Would you settle for some David Grusin?
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:51pm bill: sure--have you ever considered an all-film score show?
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 5:51pm melinda: David Grusin sounds good.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:51pm Scraps deSelby: H'lo Gaylord, h'lo people. I only now had wi-fi in this rehab place this morning. H'lo h'lo!
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:53pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps deSelby: Glad you finally got connected!
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:53pm Gaylord Fields: @bill: wfmu.org...
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:54pm geezerette: Howdy Scraps & everybody.
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:55pm bill: thank you my friend
	Sun. 5/15/16 5:56pm Gaylord Fields: @bill: Gladly.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:00pm Mr C: WIP Radio Philadelphia 1965
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:01pm KP: Cat says we were away for three days. I say one days. Need a mediator
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:01pm kppk: This song was my role model for romantic love at the age of six when I was obsessed with My Fair Lady . . .
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 6:01pm melinda: hi geeze.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:02pm Zach: man that music was sublime
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:04pm KP: Carol!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:04pm famous original icecreamwolf: I thought that sounded like Jeanette!!!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:06pm famous original icecreamwolf: My cousin had a brain tumor :( I will wear gray
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:07pm Gaylord Fields: @famous original icecreamwolf: Her American-accented Spanish singing is inimitable.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:07pm Gaylord Fields: @famous original icecreamwolf: Many of us know people who have had one. I do.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:08pm Chop Scott: Even in Zurich--I listen live! Thanks Gaylord, your show is exactly what I need right now.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:09pm Gaylord Fields: @Chop Scott: Thanks for staying up for this! See you stateside soon!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:11pm Scraps deSelby: But I mostly wear gray anyway. (Because mostly I have color badness -- male, but even worse.) Also, I like gray. Or grey, either way.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:11pm geezerette: hey melinda.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:15pm Scraps deSelby: And I have a dead brain mass -- stroke, and they can't dig it out; too deep. Kinda weird, knowing it's there.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:16pm JakeGould: My mom suffered tons of small strokes in her (quite hard) life until one final stroke was literally that. She was still fairly lucid prior to the final stroke so the brain’s resiliency is pretty amazing… But don’t delay treatment!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:17pm JakeGould: FWIW, “World Goth Day” is the 22nd. twitter.com...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps deSelby: I'm happy that WFMU can be part of your recovery. Have you heard the Monochrome Set's "Hidden Coils" LP from about five years ago? It's all about Bid's recovery from a stroke, and is bloody brilliant!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:20pm JakeGould: WFMU is good people.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:22pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: I myself was introduced to Barbara Lewis via the airwaves of WWRL 1600 AM.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:23pm Mr C: My reference was to Andy Williams. WIP was the adult station my mother listened to.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: Aha! I like the adult music myself, as somehow I turned into an adult myself without my noticing.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:26pm Scraps deSelby: Gaylord: I have that! I love the Monochrome Set, even before I knew that. I'm very interested in young stroke victims (of course), and there are several musicians: Chris Knox, Tim Smith (of the Cardiacs), Edwyn Collins...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:27pm JakeGould: @Scraps: Aubrey Plaza (comedian, actor, etc…) had a stroke when she was 21. www.theguardian.com...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:27pm Scraps deSelby: Didn't know that!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:28pm Gaylord Fields: Many of them have created great work about their strokes.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The word now is that Music uses more parts of the brain @ once than perhaps any other activity. You would almost think the stuff was not totally ephemeral & insignificant...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:30pm Scraps deSelby: Once you had it, it becomes the basic thing in your life (well, in my case, anyway)
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:31pm katie: Choo Choo Train!!!!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:31pm JakeGould: Also—not connected to strokes or tumors—but I know someone who worked a trauma emergency room and noticed a real weird pattern in men suffering concussions: She saw tons of men who got drunk, slipped on something and conked their head… While they recovered the family and friends of the person who conked their head all said a similar thing: “He’s nicer and less of a jerk since the accident.” Same person but it’s like with certain people a conk to the head makes them less jerks?
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:32pm Mr C: Adult stations went the way of adults..
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:32pm Gaylord Fields: katie!!!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:33pm katie: A Sunday night regular as you know, especially when rewarded with Briar Rose!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:33pm JakeGould: @MrC: Now they are all MCOR (Man Child Oriented Radio) or DBOR (Dude Bro Oriented Radio). Perfect tunes for a man cave! Gotta get the Bluetooth in the mancave!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The 1st time I saw the term 'Adult Alternative' it certainly gave me pause...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:35pm Scraps deSelby: I was not a musician (even though music is my life; I don't know how that works; probably laziness, or to be kind with me, ADD). But I was a copy editor and proofreader and writer, and my stroke attacked my basic language skills -- that was horrible. Well.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:35pm Gaylord Fields: @katie: I'm always elated when I know you're listening!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:36pm JakeGould: @ScrapsdeSelby: Sorry to hear that.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:36pm Webhamster Henry: What a cool jazzy, kind of inappropriate Yesterday, Gaylord!
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 6:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yesterday was the William Schallert Memorial Playlist on Rex's show: www.wfmu.org...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:38pm Scraps deSelby: This set is great!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Scraps: You're still quite articulate - & pleasant to 'have around' as well. Much admiration - & all power to you.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Webhamster Henry: I like that it disregarded so many of the things that makes Yesterday Yesterday.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:38pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: As well it should have been!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:39pm Scraps deSelby: Thank you, RevRabbit.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & yet - it is about Sir Macca being a melodic genius...hm. It shouldn't work but it does. It's probably the most covered song of all time for more reasons than the sentiment...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:40pm P-90: One of the grooviest classic TV themes!
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 6:40pm melinda: Scraps that sounds devastating, I'm sorry. Also, I don't think it's weird that music is your life w/out being a musician. Speaking for myself, I think I'm wired to appreciate it and not to play it.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:43pm Gaylord Fields: @P-90: That and many great Sixties TV soundtracks were written in unusual time signatures (Ben Casey, Room 222, and Mission: Impossible, most famously).
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:43pm Webhamster Henry: I do a bit where I sing the words to Yesterday with the tune of Macca's Tomorrow.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...uh-oh - 'Yesterday' rabbithole...the song is about choosing to live in an optimism that's gone & how one relates to that - & somehow speaks for the whole era metaphorically, a lot like 'Pet Sounds' loss of innocence does, if not the whole Beach Boys thang...well - not enuff flashlight to go down there...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course - John & Paul were married by the loss of their Mums ; the counterbalance of Working Class Blues - & Mod Affirmation (YeahYeahYeah!) in the Beatles is...a thing...
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:51pm Scraps deSelby: Thank you, melinda. You're probably right about wired to appreciate. It's true that I didn't really want to play music until I suddenly had it taken away as a possibility. (Though I'm thinking about trying doing this as my iPad as an instrument....)
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:53pm Monica: gaylord is a master of oddball time signatures!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:54pm Scraps deSelby: Oddball time signatures are the best time signatures!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:54pm Gaylord Fields: @Monica: Darling dearest!
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:55pm Gaylord Fields: Ending in a 3/4, however.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:56pm geezerette: Everyone here knocks me out. Great conversations and kindness. Gaylord, at some point in every show I find myself in an unknown Louis Malle or Truffaut film. Thank you! Wishing all of us a happy week. :D
	🎃 Sun. 5/15/16 6:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: My paternal grandfather had a stroke at age 84 or so. Maybe it was just a minor one; I don't recall him having ill effects. He lived to age 95 and had a clear mind all the way to the end.
	Sun. 5/15/16 6:58pm P-90: Thanks, Gaylord. Fine work, and great company, as always.
	Sun. 5/15/16 7:00pm Scraps deSelby: Ah, Northern Picture Library!
