cool Gale Garnett tune. all i've heard by her is 'I'll Cry Alone' which is a great 45.

Hello gang! It's so nice to be back + with lotsa new stuff. How'd ya like that HBO intro? Takes me way back. Just having fun with it though. Don't think I'm gonna make it official.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Fri. 6/10/16 3:09pm Michael 98145:

welcome back.
I love happening on a disc like Nippon Girls (2009) and realizing the thoughtful and informative notes were written by DJ Sheila. Very cool.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Fri. 6/10/16 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Primavera Sound was nice to hear, but it's also nice to have the Boom Boom back again.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:12pm listener james from westwood:

If the HBO theme made the odd appearance down the line, even if it doesn't become the new lead, I wouldn't say no!
Related: There's a making-of documentary done by HBO, findable on YouTube, for the whole intro film that goes with that intro theme, and it is fascinating. Tons of work went into that bit of film and it was all pre-CGI. Cool stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:13pm djsheilab:

@Listener James I think that bit of HBO theme music is so well written. And I love the build-up + intensity + explosion! It will definitely make another appearance at some point.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:14pm Cliff:

Sheila, it worked for me. I like the usual starter too. I'm pretty easy to please!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:15pm steve:

love the intro! couldnt place it at first and guessed it was from some sexy 70s movie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:15pm listener james from westwood:

IIRC, HBO sponsors (or sponsored) the movies in Bryant Park each summer, and they would play it before the films, setting off a massive nostalgia bomb.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:16pm Cliff:

Terre T. would sometimes play the original version of Cherry Blossom Clinic instead of the later one, just to mix it up.

Fabio has a Finnish-language version of "Mr. Giant Man," too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:18pm Scott Williams:

Nothing says "SOMETHING IS GONNA HAPPEN" like that HBO theme; made me almost as happy as the theme from "Clue" a few weeks back!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:19pm Cliff:

Whoa, I haven't caught that one yet Ken from HP!

Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:20pm listener james from westwood:

And going back a bit, sometimes Laura Cantrell would put on the George Jones "Walk through This World With Me" instead of Tammy Wynette's. Always a nice twist. But that Tammy version tho ... damn.

Hey e'rybody! Cliff, how'd Mr. Let's Paint's Venus turn out? and the spaghetti? Once again, I got pulled out of my office in the middle of the show. This whole "having a job" thing seems to be getting in the way of my WFMU listening. I think it's gonna have to go.
  Fri. 6/10/16 3:26pm Mandy:

every day this week I was like "Yay, it's 3PM! time for Sheila!" but then it was never Friday.....
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:27pm Cliff:

JakeGould, if it makes you feel better, Daniel Blumin usually scoops Scott Williams on the new bin :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:28pm Cliff:

JP, being self-unemployed is great (as long as you have enough money saved up)! He didn't get any meatballs or sauce on the painting, but he did paint Venus with blue hair and a hula hoop that was also Saturn's rings.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:30pm Cliff:

I thought the spaghetti looked good, though a little undercooked. Vicki said it was gross though and wouldn't try any of it. But John seemed to like its aroma.

The podcasts are talking program formats, am I right? Otherwise conflicts with the rights collecting socities I guess.

@Guido Isn't Mr Finewine's show also available as a podcast though?

Sheila, did you watch We Are Twisted Sister?
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:49pm listener james from westwood:

@Adrian: I think b/c many of Finewine's cuts are older, in some cases w/ orphaned rights, they feel more comfortable podcasting it. Or that's what I heard once.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:49pm Guido from Cologne:

Pebbles-level rarities and no persecursors?
OK, enough of speculation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 3:49pm listener james from westwood:

IIRC Scharpling's Best Show podcasts used to snip out the (usually contemporary) music bits for the rights rationale Guido mentioned.

Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 6/10/16 4:15pm JakeGould:

“After Hours” is great and only realized this past year that when Girffin Dunne’s character is trying to get into the club, the bouncer’s lines are basically a riff on Kafka, “I'll take your money because I don't want you to feel you left anything untried. Now, you keep the quarter…”

The trumpets were Gary Grant (1st), Jerry Hey (2nd), Chuck Findley (3rd), and Allen Vizzutti (4th).”

And Ferdinand J. Smith on IMDB: “He composed the first HBO "Feature Presentation" jingle, which went with the now notorious "HBO in Space" introduction sequence.

Ferdinand Jay Smith composed the music for another iconic piece of televised packaging: He was responsible for the theme for the opening, bumpers, and closing of the ABC movies of the week from 1981 to 1987, better known as the "Star Tunnel" package.”

@sheilab 4:24 - thanks for that! though my record collection is always a work in progress (and actually quite modest), many of my record buddies have stellar collections. i'm sure your 45s put mine and most others to shame! i wish i had that patti austin now, too ... i pruned a lot of my 45 collection last year, that was one of 'em. never even listened to that side!

sheilab great to hear this Chip Taylor tribute. Agree totally that someone does not have to pass on to be heard. Bit like we do not tell our loved ones what we think of them until they are gone.
Saw Chip last year at a very small London venue, very disappointed that London could not show more respect with a bigger show. Just him and his old friend John Platania, think he is getting a little morose in his later years but heck what a songwriter. My favourite album is This Side of Big River. A country boy in NY.
