Listener comments!

3:15pm βrian:

Sheila lowers the boom, sophisticatedly.

♥ 3:15pm JP from KC:

I feel it, Sheila! I feel it!

♥ 3:16pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Boom Boom radio is on the air! (Well, not on 90.1 at the moment.)

3:16pm P-90:

Sheila-thon '16 Part Deux! Bonjour Sheila!

♥ 3:16pm Cliff:

We're all feelin' it Sheila!

3:16pm L.D.:

New listener here, what was the name of that opening song?

♥ 3:16pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Hey Sheila & Therese!!

♥ 3:17pm Adrian in London:

Hah, you won't catch us out with your starting an hour earlier business!

3:17pm statoj:

Yes, definitely not on 90.1, alas. Sabotage?
Anyway, greetings, sheilab!

3:17pm P-90:

...et DJ Therese! Bienvenue!

♥ 3:18pm Dave in Vermont:

I love this place!

♥ 3:18pm Adrian in London:

It's just going to be this for three hours, isnt it?

♥ 3:18pm listener james from westwood:

Ahhhhh, outta the gate with an 80s hit! And what a phone room!!

3:19pm P-90:

There should def be an UStream video feed for this!

♥ 3:19pm Devin B.:

this is amazing

♥ 3:19pm JP from KC:

This is so beautiful, I might cry. I love this.

♥ 3:19pm Mick:

The phone room keeping the heat on the beat!

3:20pm The Contessa:

Sorry, a bit late to the party! Excuse: I was opening the champagne

♥ 3:20pm Kat in Chicago:

Wow this is great

3:21pm Cooh John:

djsheilab is the greatest! Boom, boom, boom! Like TOT!

3:23pm sugarwolf:

Hello ladies!!!

3:23pm modchick65:

If there's more "The Heat Is On" I'm going to cry.

♥ 3:26pm notsoKWYET:

is Chicas a cd or vinyl?

♥ 3:26pm Guido from Cologne:

CD with fat booklet!
I have it and it is worthwhile!

3:27pm Therese:

Hi @statoj- our engineer is working on the 90.1 signal, have faith!

3:31pm statoj:

I have faith! I am right here! But is there a way to both listen AND see the playlist simultaneously on the phone app,?

♥ 3:32pm Evan From Seattle:

I love hearing how much other listeners in Seattle have been stepping up to support WFMU. Makes me proud!

♥ 3:32pm Cliff:

LOL, I wasn't expecting them to read the shroom comment again!

♥ 3:33pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Aww! Who was that again? Was it Chris B?

3:34pm statoj:

Glory halleluia, 90.1 is back up on the air! Faith affirmed!

♥ 3:34pm Dave in Vermont:

that walking guy has been on the same dollar amount for hours- I want to see the next step in evolution

3:35pm sugarwolf:

I'm going out on a few minutes and I can listen on the car radio again yay!!!! Thank you engineers!!!

3:35pm mink:

where did the walking animation go? I thought it was on the homepage but I'm not seeing it now.

♥ 3:36pm Caryn:

@mink: it's occasionally replaced by DJ videos

♥ 3:37pm Dave in Vermont:

mink click the arrow to the right of the video still, you might have to make your browser screen a little bigger to see that

3:38pm mink:

@Caryn : Ahhh I see. Also, do you know how much overall they need to raise? I thought in the past they had the figure open. (Not that it's a problem, just interested really)

♥ 3:38pm Caryn:

Now I'm rooting for a "The Heat is On" choral performance during the H&M Sinfonia. Scott on saxophone. Or at least a reprise at the end of this show.

@mink: 1.2 million bucks

♥ 3:38pm Cliff:

It's over a million for sure

3:38pm statoj:

WFMU is the only station where the pledge week shows are more entertaining than the rest of the year! Such a pleasure to share the wealth! (Mine and yours.)

3:39pm P-90:

This is like hearing my Friday afternoons chatting with mu Sunday nights. Just a little bit weird, in a good way. A GREAT way!

3:39pm Therese:

Pledge $20 or more to be in the running for this Lizzy Mercier Descloux!

3:40pm mink:

Dave: ah thanks! I clicked left before and got terrifying vortex painting man et al.
Cliff: wow that's a lot
Also yes the marathon is really fun radio :)

3:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

whoa; Is there no pledger-map this year?

3:42pm mink:

that map was awesome

♥ 3:42pm Caryn:

@Rev.: nope. Since they're switching from Kenzo's system to the new system, the Marathon map is not there.

♥ 3:43pm Cliff:

mink: It sure is! It's expensive to run a radio station, even when it's done by volunteers.

3:44pm The Contessa:

Huzzah!! Tick Tock!! We're dancin'

♥ 3:44pm Adrian in London:

Woo-hoo!!

3:45pm P-90:

@mink: a lot in a sense but really a tight budget to fund the operation of a major radio station, maintain the building it's housed in, etc.

♥ 3:45pm chris:

hi everyone! boom boom! pledge!

♥ 3:45pm Caryn:

And since they'll have to spend 4 grand on parts alone to get 90.1 working properly, they could sure use pledges. Come on, people!

♥ 3:45pm JP from KC:

Thanks, Sheila B, for making me feel like I'm on a beach in the south of France, and not sitting in my windowless office in the boring Midwest. ¡Viva La WFMU!

♥ 3:46pm listener james from westwood:

Oh, man, the strings on this Connie song. You just want to lie down in them and be swept away. Whole package is damn perfect.

3:46pm The Contessa:

Agreed @LJFW Thanks @Sheila!

3:47pm mink:

I wonder how much is the online archives. they go all back to 2000 don't they? (did I get that right?) That is insane. This place is amazing

3:47pm statoj:

This is ridiculous for me to admit, but I just "got" the "WF" "MU" caption on the dog and cow. Listening for six months: better late than never!

♥ 3:47pm Caryn:

If any DJ decides to put this on their premium next year, they've got some pledges nailed down already.

3:48pm P-90:

"Tick Tock" ROCKS! A total late-'60's-style modernization of her sound. Bob Crewe himself would approve!
THANKS DJ Sheila B!

3:48pm mink:

Hahaha statoj. :)

3:49pm βrian:

@JP from KC: Can I pour you a nice glass of Bandol?

3:49pm statoj:

All power to the engineers! 90.1 rocks. And so does Leslie Gore!

3:50pm mink:

Well if it makes you feel better, a second ago I thought I was talking to a Rev. because I was too lazy to read the other commenter's name properly

♥ 3:50pm Cliff:

statoj: Woof! Moo! ;D

♥ 3:50pm MattBelow:

Rock N Roll!!!

3:50pm Wild Neil:

If you are reading this, PLEASE PLEDGE!

3:50pm mink:

woofmoo all the way :D

3:50pm βrian:

Bisous, S & T !

♥ 3:51pm Cliff:

I wonder what other animal noises can be made out of W F M U

3:52pm The Contessa:

Hey @Ken, have the owls fledged/pledged?

3:52pm βrian:

I always want to see that cow's tail lift when the pledge goal is reached — what a farmer might call "Spreading the wealth."

3:54pm P-90:

YAY! DJ Meghan!

3:55pm mink:

has truly no one yet made a gif of those two woofmoo's pooping?

3:56pm βrian:

For the dog, of course, you'd need a plastic collection bag.

♥ 3:56pm Cliff:

Maybe if the caveman gets to the finish line, he will discover how to domesticate dogs and cattle

♥ 3:57pm Greg from ZONE 5:

I have friends and family members who don't listen but pledge every year just to keep me off the streets.

♥ 3:59pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Contessa. Yes, there are two owlets. They named them Owlison and Owlex. They're getting bigger by the day. They've lost their little chick fuzz and are getting real feathers.

3:59pm mink:

This is true. have Ken come along with a pooper scooper to reset the scene. Ha, that is an analogy alright :')

4:00pm The Contessa:

Thanks for the update, Ken, wish we could see them!

♥ 4:01pm Caryn:

@Cliff: there's a thought. Will the caveman be joined by a dog and a cow following him at some point?

4:01pm statoj:

This record truly is "FINE FINE FINE"!!!

4:02pm SeanG:

YYAAAAHHHH

4:02pm The Contessa:

Ken! Found them on YouTube!

4:02pm modchick65:

Ha. I can never tell if it's "Jet Boy Jet Girl" or "Ca Pleine Pour Moi."

♥ 4:03pm Cliff:

Caryn: Someone else on the comments a few days ago was predicting he'd reenact the scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey...

♥ 4:03pm listener james from westwood:

Oh, hells yes!

4:03pm statoj:

Sans Blagues pour Moi, I think. (Too bad for me?)

4:04pm mink:

I do love the dog cow logo. Can someone read this a put a shirt in the store? Black print on white cotton plz ;)

♥ 4:04pm Caryn:

@Cliff: well, I was worried he was gonna bash another ape's head in with that bone. But since the bone is gone and the Monolith is no longer there, I think we can expect other things now.

4:04pm sweeks:

I'm rockin' out so hard

4:05pm βrian:

C'est génial, ça !

♥ 4:05pm Cliff:

Nasal monotone, that's how you do punk in French

4:05pm statoj:

Okay, I was hallucinating back to French class in 1969. My bad, Sister Benedicta.

4:05pm modchick65:

@mink... I want the dog cow logo shirt, too. Someone in my office has it, and I'm bummed it's not in the store.

♥ 4:06pm Caryn:

@mink: they've had that before. Not in the store, but I'm now wondering if there are any left in the prize warehouse...

♥ 4:06pm Cliff:

Caryn: I remember him holding the bone, but there was a monolith too?! I missed that!

♥ 4:06pm Adrian in London:

Kool Thing!!! Is everyone doing the Hal Hartley Simple Men dance?

4:07pm SeanG:

word up

♥ 4:07pm JP from KC:

I would also love to have the dog cow logo shirt. I know they had one. Maybe they'll bring it back. I'm super excited about "The Shirt You Want," though.

♥ 4:08pm Caryn:

@Cliff: yeah, for a bit in the background on the left. The bone stuck around a bit longer than the monolith, which came and went.

♥ 4:08pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@Contessa - Awesome! If that grows old, there's an eagle web cam going on: www.eagles.org...
@mink - I suggested to SM Ken that there should be a decorative porch flag with the WoofMoo logo. He liked the idea, but no flag has yet appeared.

4:08pm modchick65:

@WFMU: People want the dog cow logo shirt. Bring it back. In the words of the Kinks, the O'Jays AND Miss Sharon Jones... "Give the people what they want." I've got $$ right here for Woof Moo shirt.

♥ 4:10pm Kat in Chicago:

@Greg I've always wondered who ticks the "Don't Listen" box when they're asked how they listen during the pledge process. Now I know!

♥ 4:10pm listener james from westwood:

Goddamn what a twofer. Both the last 2 songs AND our hostesses! (And Kim Gordon's book is a treat. Pairs nicely with Carrie Brownstein's.)

♥ 4:10pm Cliff:

(Looks around cluttered apartment) I think I have the dog cow shirt *somewhere* around here...

Caryn: Maybe next year we can get an animation featuring that Ancient Aliens guy from the History Channel

♥ 4:10pm ! I X Key !:

! Yay !

♥ 4:11pm Greg from ZONE 5:

@Kat: There you go! The answer is "Greg from ZONE 5's mom."

4:12pm modchick65:

@djsheilab Tell them we want Woof Moo shirts! Promise me a woof moo shirt, and I've got $50 right here, WFMU. ;)

4:12pm modchick65:

Omg. I used to work with Merzbow. Ha. That's hilarious.

4:13pm P-90:

Heading into the Marathon home stretch!
Pledge NOW for deliverance from male white corporate oppression!

4:14pm mink:

If they want to raise more money they should sell that tshirt for sure! F!M!U!
Also having a better shop would be good, those pictures are too small

♥ 4:15pm chris:

woot! thanks!

♥ 4:16pm ! I X Key !:

? Merzbow, pronounced Merzbow, is one of the coolest people on the planet :o)

♥ 4:16pm ! I X Key !:

I think so

4:17pm modchick65:

We've all been there, drunk girl with chipmunks.

4:17pm The Contessa:

Newsflash! Ken, we can get the eagles here! Thanks

♥ 4:17pm Cliff:

I'd plotz if Sheila were to play Merzbow on her show (though she does like the thrash metal, so you never know)

4:18pm modchick65:

This is my favorite song ever.

♥ 4:18pm ! I X Key !:

! Love for Therese 4eva :o)

♥ 4:18pm listener james from westwood:

Chipmunk vocals! Amanda Nazario must be alerted to this track.

4:19pm P-90:

I've seen little chipmunks and other small mammals in more than one bar in Japan myself, and yes, Gaijin, sometimes they do sing!

♥ 4:19pm MD:

this is like LSD for the ears!!!

4:19pm The Contessa:

@Sheila, the vote is split on this one in our house

4:19pm mink:

wow they are actually chipmunks

♥ 4:19pm Cliff:

(falls over laughing from Japanese chipmunk vocals)

4:19pm statoj:

Love the chipmunks!

4:19pm modchick65:

I like when you're sad and they clean your apartment and do your laundry while singing.

♥ 4:20pm ! I X Key !:

! Those thrash people are so nice (o:

♥ 4:20pm Ike:

Whaaaaaaaaa??! ROTFL.

4:20pm modchick65:

Oh, wait. That's Disney. Not real life.

4:20pm The Contessa:

But great boots and haircuts!

♥ 4:20pm Caryn:

Hahahahahaaaaa! sums it up. Awesome.

♥ 4:21pm JP from KC:

I've got 10 bucks that says this song ends in a fit of Japanese-girl giggling.

4:21pm sweeks:

I talk to chipmunks every time I drink too

4:22pm modchick65:

Wait... this is on the premium?? SWEEET. Modchick65 is PSYCHED.

♥ 4:22pm JP from KC:

Damn. Looks like I'm out $10.

♥ 4:22pm ! I X Key !:

is this color totally the opposite of st pat green from yesterday

4:22pm modchick65:

@sweeks Chipmunks are the best conversationalists when drunk.

♥ 4:22pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Dear me! I did a Google video search for Pinky Chicks Yopparata Ojousan and a bunch of p0rn sites showed up. I vote yes on the song anyway.

4:22pm djelrock:

I miss Princess Comet n Aki Maeda. Awesome TV comedy from Japan. This music reminds me of it.

♥ 4:23pm MattBelow:

Can't stop the big beat!

4:23pm modchick65:

That is, when you are drunk. When the chipmunks are drunk, all bets are off.

4:23pm P-90:

@modchick65: sparows used to help my Mom with put the clothespins on the line when she was sad

4:23pm steve:

i believe Merzbow used to play live with female Japanese artist/vocalist Reiko A, and did one or two release with her. www.discogs.com...

4:23pm djsheilab:

HAHAHAHA!! @Ken from Hyde Park. That's the best thing I've heard all week!

4:24pm modchick65:

@P-90: YES!!! Love it!

4:24pm statoj:

Ken, the Pinky Chicks probably failed to pay their website renewal registration, and when that happens, there goes the neighborhood.

♥ 4:25pm JtotheK:

good afternoon everyone! I failed to arrive on time and I missed 'Tick Tock' and 'No Matter What You Do' ... Augh!!!

♥ 4:25pm Cliff:

Ken from HP: I used to have to maintain the porn filter at my old job, and one thing I discovered is that there is a difference between the results for "buttman" and "assman" (only one of them gets you gay porn, and it's not the one you'd think at first)

♥ 4:26pm listener james from westwood:

Holy damn, I do love this Niki cut. Still surprised this isn't a lost 80s track!

♥ 4:27pm Cliff:

Yeah, this actually came out last year?! Amazing :D

4:27pm statoj:

I love it too.

♥ 4:28pm Kat in Chicago:

@Cliff was that job as amusing as it sounds?

♥ 4:29pm listener james from westwood:

FIFTY PERCENT MARK MADE! GO GO GO!!

♥ 4:31pm Ken From Hyde Park:

The sites that came up hurt my fragile little mind!

♥ 4:31pm Cliff:

Kat in Chicago: It was at first, until I started having to go through all of the racial epithets and disgusting sex acts that I'd never heard of before (it was a long list....)

♥ 4:32pm Kat in Chicago:

@Cliff racial epithets? ew, didn't think of that.

♥ 4:33pm Cliff:

Ken from HP: I can only imagine. (Or rather, I won't even try to imagine)

♥ 4:34pm Cliff:

Kat, yeah, we called it the porn list but it was really a general obscenity filter. Though many porn sites use degrading language so there's a lot of overlap. Humanity....*sigh*

4:38pm P-90:

THE Mel Blanc?!

♥ 4:39pm listener james from westwood:

Sounds very much like Mel!!

4:39pm modchick65:

I have to get this record.

♥ 4:39pm Kat in Chicago:

You don't hear many songs with the word "terpsichorean" in them

4:40pm βrian:

Commuted home. Now lurking again, this time with some real Bandol in hand.

♥ 4:41pm JP from KC:

@Brian: I'd be jealous, but I'm more of an Absinthe kind of guy, anyway.

4:42pm djsheilab:

I'm too scatty to properly write comments today but just wanna say I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Thank you for all the love + support you bring here week after week. Xoxoxoxoxo

4:42pm βrian:

Too many absinthes and we'll have to lower your grade.

♥ 4:43pm JP from KC:

Too scatty, huh? Did you enjoy some of the banana bread Hearty White was snacking on earlier today?

4:43pm sweeks:

Rock on, Sheila B!

♥ 4:43pm Cliff:

And thank you Sheila and Therese! We all luv you too :D

♥ 4:44pm Cliff:

Haha JP, I cracked up when Bryce said he roofied him

♥ 4:44pm MattBelow:

Sheila and Therese are Thee Chicas of Woof Moo!

4:45pm βrian:

Yeah, colon upper case D to you guys.

♥ 4:45pm listener james from westwood:

CLOSING IN ON 60%!! Sheila's lisn'ers rule!!

4:46pm statoj:

Yes, Therese is a great addition to today's party!

♥ 4:47pm JP from KC:

@Cliff: That was hilarious. I'd love to hear Hearty White and Clay Pigeon do a marathon show together, but I suspect that would be a marvelous and beautiful mess of epic proportions.

♥ 4:47pm Cliff:

Anyone know what "Pjesma o Drvecu" means? This song is hauntingly lovely.

4:47pm statoj:

59%. Yippee!

♥ 4:47pm JP from KC:

I'm officially in love with this track.

♥ 4:48pm Guido from Cologne:

Hell, what a track!
trouble in Mind, yesssss

4:49pm Goran:

"Pjesma o drveću" means "A song about trees"

4:49pm βrian:

Song of the trees.

4:50pm Listener Robert:

I've got Grampa's Croatian 78s (+ a few LPs), but not from this era.

♥ 4:50pm Cliff:

And Google translate says Pridjevi means..."adjectives"?! Heh

4:50pm βrian:

Or maybe, "Please send vowels!"

4:51pm Listener Robert:

I probably should've identified them as Grandma's.

4:56pm Honeybear:

I can't imagine you -not- doing it, Sheila.

♥ 4:56pm chris:

4:56pm Paul D:

You go Sheila B!

♥ 4:57pm listener james from westwood:

Aw man, I've got something in both eyes....

4:57pm Honeybear:

I mean, if there ever was a "natural" who walked into a DJ booth at FMU... that would be our Sheila B.

♥ 4:58pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Internet hug to Sheila, radio hero! ((( )))

♥ 4:58pm Cliff:

Sheila, you're an inspiration for all of us shy/anxious people going through stuff right now :)

5:00pm Honeybear:

@Cliff - agreed. "We are all Sheila B."

♥ 5:01pm JP from KC:

I'll second that, Cliff.

5:01pm statoj FYI:

Honeybear, True, true, true!
Ladies, thanks for the kind words. Even if you are not headed for a wedding, Matamoras is a lovely Poconos destination. Still, thank God for radio!

5:05pm P-90:

Sheila B. came from out of the blue and nailed it!
We haven't seen many new DJs go roaring straight from a single season in a web-only morning slot straight to triumphing in Friday afternoon drive-time, a really prime piece of radio real estate. It was SO meant to be. Viva Sheila!

5:07pm Sheila Gives Me Hope:

^Hear, hear!

5:07pm TDK60:

Sheila you rock the airwaves. Great to hear your show.

♥ 5:07pm Guido from Cologne:

I won that last year.
Glad to have it.
Two CDs and fat booklet with track-to-track comments.

5:09pm Carmichael:

Heya Sheila, Therese and sophisticates. Out of meetings and into the Boom-Boom Room.

♥ 5:10pm Cliff:

Station Manager Ken was certainly freaking out on his show on Wednesday morning, when they were trying to fix the transmitter...

♥ 5:16pm Gaylord Fields:

@djsheilab: You can't sneak a David Gates production past me!

♥ 5:17pm listener james from westwood:

P-90: Absolutely goddamn right.

♥ 5:18pm cory:

wow, i thought i was the only person that listened to juliana hatfield

♥ 5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

SheilaB.'s our Fri. P.M. 'ReadySteadyGo!' ; Sophisticated living under BoomBoom circumstances...

♥ 5:20pm Cliff:

cory: I used to listen to her a lot in high school and college, 20 years ago...

5:20pm statoj:

I remember the 90s.

5:21pm Cooh John:

ditto the kudos for djsheilab! Smitten from beginning.

♥ 5:21pm Cliff:

I wish we could have the 90s back

♥ 5:22pm ! I X Key !:

! I just love music (o=

♥ 5:23pm Kat in Chicago:

I miss the Blake Babies.

♥ 5:23pm ! I X Key !:

So so so much hooray on all these people people people

♥ 5:23pm Ralphine:

Juliana Hatfield wrote one of my all-time favorite lyrics in Spin the Bottle:
She's such a sucker
He don't wanna fuck her

♥ 5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Hm. Rawk was charting in the 90s & booming @ the same time as it was uncertain of its' direction - that fin de siècle thang then...Wouldn't want 'em back, but don't throw the BlakeBabies out widda bathwater...

♥ 5:31pm Stanley:

I think I prefer boys that sound like girls rather than the other way round.

♥ 5:31pm Cliff:

Nirvana changed everything, that's for sure (good-bye hair metal!)

♥ 5:33pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Did/does Hanson count as a boys sounding like girls band? I've never heard any of their material.

♥ 5:34pm Cliff:

Hey Sheila, I heard the Alan Parsons Project for the very first time on your show!

5:34pm modchick65:

@Ken From Hyde Park: Hanson sounded like the Jackson 5.

♥ 5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...or maybe it just hurts too much to remember the 90s cause it was the last time there was still some kinda Music Biz & I was starving working @ CD stores (Music Stores!)...

♥ 5:35pm Ralphine:

Kat in Chicago, I thought I remembered something about the Blake Babies doing something: www.pledgemusic.com...

5:36pm Carmichael:

Good Lord Cliff, where did you grow up? Kiev? Krypton?

5:39pm ?:

Jesus Christ Superstar sample?

5:40pm statoj:

Revolution Rabbit,
The way we used to hang out at Music Stores, now we hang out here at Boom Boom!

♥ 5:40pm Cliff:

I grew up in Syracuse, I dunno, I've just never been exposed to them before? I'd heard of them but I don't remember the local rock stations playing them. The only Grateful Dead song they'd play 90% of the time was "Touch of Gray".

5:41pm modchick65:

@statoj: I miss hanging out in record stores.

♥ 5:41pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Nachum Segal should play this Grazia track.

♥ 5:42pm Matt F:

I'm actually on Give the Drummer Radio, not Ichiban, for everyone keeping score at home...

♥ 5:43pm Cliff:

Anybody wanna suggest an Alan Parsons Project song list primer for me? Where should I start with them? :)

♥ 5:43pm listener james from westwood:

Holy christmas, what a nice track this Empress Of is!

5:43pm Carmichael:

Just kidding, Cliff. I figured everyone in the US had heard them, whether they like 'em or not.

♥ 5:44pm Ken From Hyde Park:

We've got a ways to go if we're going to hear the Phone Room Philharmonic later. Please pledge!

♥ 5:44pm Cliff:

Carmichael, I'd only heard of them from a Simpsons episode where Homer was going on about how the mid '70s had the best rock bands of all time :)

♥ 5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@statoj: That's it. Faye's show in fact reminds me specifically of those music store people who would leave me wondering where in hell they'd hear all this stuff before I ever heard of it...

5:45pm statoj:

Ken, Yes, but am I right in thinking that Nachum only plays male singers? Every time I think it is a female, then I suspect it is a male child. I enjoy Nachum's show, but after months of listening it made me wonder, are Jewish women not allowed to sing religious music?

5:48pm statoj:

Modchick,
Yes, being there in person does have its merits.

5:49pm modchick65:

@statoj: I used to spend so much time in record stores. So. Much. Time. And half the time I didn't even buy anything.

5:49pm βrian:

Snuck back in through a chink in the mortar. I'm really liking it.

♥ 5:50pm Kat in Chicago:

@Ralphine Oh wow. Thanks! Will check that out.

5:50pm statoj:

P.J. Harvey?

5:50pm Therese:

Put money in your Idol Hole! 800-989-9368!

5:50pm Marie:

To me this was PJ Harvey's best album.

♥ 5:51pm Kat in Chicago:

OMG Sheela-Na-Gig!

5:51pm statoj:

A fitting tribute.

♥ 5:53pm Smilty69:

PJ Harvey's the wife I never had.

♥ 5:54pm Dave in Vermont:

YLT Georgia!

♥ 5:54pm ! I X Key !:

! Most awesome on the planet:o)

5:54pm Linda Lee:

~ like hearin the ladies check in! you all rock n roll! ~

♥ 5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park:

81% ... Push that thermometer up there!

5:56pm statoj:

Modchick,
Hanging out places are crucial. For those of us who live out of the mainstream, these virtual spaces are working for us, but I would love to have a cup of coffee and a blueberry scone with all my buddies at Boom Boom if only Geography were my friend! :)

5:57pm statoj:

82%! Push it!!!

5:57pm The Contessa:

Signing off now. Thanks Sheila, from me and Adrian in London

♥ 5:57pm ! I X Key !:

! Hooray on you (o:

5:58pm modchick65:

@Statoj: I want Sophisticated Boom Boom to be a bar and I want a 1960s-decorated apartment above it.

♥ 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Good night, Contessa & Adrian. Have a good weekend.

♥ 5:59pm Cliff:

Thank you Sheila and Therese!
