![]() Morning gang! Ok, so this isn't quite up to the Shangri Las original, but still sweet. |
![]() |
![]() Good morning Sheila! I was about to ask: Melancholy-section at the start? (Original is by Shangri-Las .. right?) |
![]() |
![]() Morning! (It still is morning here) |
![]() |
![]() Morning Adrian + Guido! Yes, a melancholic start, but brought in the Marcos Valle record to keep things chipper today! |
![]() |
![]() ![]() I remember when this Smokey Robinson tune came out. Good morning, all. |
![]() |
![]() good evening, sheila... heard a new singer from Sydney this week who's channeling girl groups really beautifully, i think, and thought of your show! and they shot this video up the road from my house, which made me well disposed... www.youtube.com... good evening, listeners all |

![]() ![]() Was the wedding you attended as sophisticated as this one, Sheila? youtu.be... |
![]() |
![]() Hello Sugarwolf + Maestroso! I have a whole 7 minutes with this track. Not used to THAT much time. |
![]() |
![]() I know what I'll do! Watch Ken's wedding clip. Holy christ! Actually there was a falling down the stairs incident, but not nearly as thrilling as that back-flip. |

Great first hour, Sheila B! | |

![]() I love the way there's a comp called 80s Girlie Pop. You can picture the meeting, can't you? "What shall we call it? What sort of music is it?" [shrugs} "Dunno, it's sort of 80s Girlie Pop" "That'll do!" |

![]() This Solveig track is great! Sheila, is the rest of the album as good? It's only three quid on Discogs... |
![]() |
![]() @Adrian Yes! There's a song called "Gettogether" on there that is even better. |

Speaking of B-sides, it took me about 10 years to flip over "Tainted Love" by Gloria Jones and discover the great girl group sounds therein. Sometimes the A-side is just so awesome that it takes awhile! In other news, that Doris Day 45 is sublime! |

![]() this is really 1980ies mainstream FM. though spector/Nietzsche/Brill-Buiding references are obvious. I was a fan in my teens but 1984 was too late. |

@DJ Sheila B: Enjoy your travels! I'll miss this show on the next two Tuesday mornings. Your first few shows were very good, right from Week 1, but the last few have been even better, really amazing. Thanks again, "see" you when you return! | |

![]() - a Production both warm & cold is an interesting observation... - I think perhaps if you play anything 'mainstream' on FMU - that got a lot of play/exposure elsewhere, you risk raising hackles, because we generally come here to get something else. Which of course raises the paradox of what 'FreeForm' means... - also - Prog is polarizing - altho' we're Music Nerdy enuff you could maybe raise Parson's studio skill cred... - Great program to wake up to - Cheers. |
