Afternoon, Sheila and all boomers (and Gen Xers, and millennials, and any of y'all Greatest Generation folks!)

3:04pm P-90:

Sheeeeeeeila Beeeee!

3:04pm northguineahills:

I remember 40 too, it was just 5 months ago, and I actually restarted my life in a new place w/ a new job. 41 is looking tre amazing....

♥ 3:05pm Adrian in London:

Greetings from La Maison du Gin!

3:05pm The Contessa:

Hello Sheila! Hello everyone

♥ 3:05pm Rob Kopp:

Hello Sheila, hello boomers. Back after a 3 week absence (3 weeks ago I got so much pain during the program that I went to the hospital and immediately was operated for onyxis; and after that 2 weeks holiday in Spain)

3:05pm P-90:

Nice communique this week!

3:05pm northguineahills:

oh, if I was preoccupied last week, feliz cumpleanos Sheila!

3:06pm northguineahills:

Didn't expect to be away from my house and job for a week b/c of Irma, just got home 90 minutes ago.

♥ 3:06pm medson:

@northguineahills little longer for me : |

♥ 3:06pm Michael 98145:

great label - www.instagram.com...

3:06pm The Contessa:

@Rob, hope you are OK now

3:07pm P-90:

...and yeah, fun to see that shot on the Homepage, too!

♥ 3:07pm crateslinger:

@NGH... How did your ditch turn out?

♥ 3:07pm crateslinger:

Sorry... Culvert.

♥ 3:08pm Rob Kopp:

@Contessa: not quite; it can take another 3 weeks before it's completely cured

♥ 3:08pm djsheilab:

@Rob Kopp Sorry to hear that you were hospitalized. Glad you had a vacation afterwards :)

♥ 3:09pm Rob Kopp:

I was lucky the doctor said I could go (but wasn't allowed to swim)

3:09pm northguineahills:

@crateslinger: I finished it this morning. Told my folks to get some plastic liner, clay, sand and small gravel to keep it from eroded. When I get an idea in my head, I can sometimes be bloody single-minded. My body isn't made for physical labor.

♥ 3:10pm JtotheK:

hi sheilaB, hi boom boomers.

3:10pm northguineahills:

get better, Rob!

♥ 3:10pm JP from KC:

This is featured on a commercial for something, is it not?

♥ 3:11pm Rob Kopp:

And don't worry yet Sheila, with forty. The problems do not start before you're way over sixty :-)

3:11pm WFMU listener:

Liked the newsletter and reading about KPOP, sounded like great fun

3:12pm devlawn:

JP from KC

A heineken commerical? maybe?

♥ 3:12pm crateslinger:

Nice work, NGH. You can be proud of that. Helping your folks is cool too.

♥ 3:12pm annie:

good afternoon... very wacky and slow Firefox browser today, might have to drop a tab.... hey!!! that sounds like fun! yes sheila, that email is a great help!

♥ 3:13pm steveo:

wait this has lyrics???!!!!

♥ 3:13pm The Oscar:

The fact that this has lyrics is blowing my mind right now. Afternoon all!

♥ 3:13pm Rob Kopp:

I think this is the first version I hear with vocals

♥ 3:13pm JP from KC:

I wondered if it was heineken... May need to do some digging later.

3:14pm JakeGould:

Hello Sheila and other Boomers!

♥ 3:14pm The Oscar:

This feels like something off that nutty Deke Dickerson album where he makes up lyrics to instrumental hits.

♥ 3:14pm crateslinger:

I'm singing my own lyrics to this one right now.

♥ 3:14pm listener james from westwood:

Bond riff getting love today!

♥ 3:16pm The Oscar:

"Walk, walk, walk, walk / Walk, walk, walk, walk / Then turn AND SHOOT the camera!!"

♥ 3:16pm ncjay:

love the Crime Jazz genre!

♥ 3:16pm JP from KC:

There's a DJ premium there... Instrumentals you didn't know have lyrics. Unless it's already been done.

3:16pm Cooh John:

Hello djsheilab and fellow sophisticates. Peter Gunn gets some lyrics. Olé

♥ 3:16pm JtotheK:

yvonne baker -- nice one! such a great tune.

3:16pm NYCTrucking usually known as DC:

Ah yes! Home early, on board for SBB!

♥ 3:17pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Hahaha annie, I often drop a tab before tuning in....

♥ 3:17pm The Oscar:

@JP You'd have to include the version of the Star Trek theme with the lyrics Roddenberry wrote so he could collect songwriting royalties!

♥ 3:18pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Tab: Diet soda for the Sophisticated Boom Boom drinker.
Also, Hello!

3:18pm JasonInBoston:

AHH! Miss Yvonne Baker. Last time Stacy and I were at Val Shively's, we called Yvonne Baker and she wouldn't say a word to us. It took Val a long time to penetrate her icy exterior. She isn't keen on being in the limelight. Actually, she wanted to hang it up in the 50s. Used to have a MINTY east coast vinyl stocker of this one. Sold it to pay a hefty car repair bill. C'est La Vie.

♥ 3:18pm crateslinger:

turning on, tuning in, dropping out

♥ 3:18pm JtotheK:

sheilaB, i like the reissue sadface...ha. internet research shows an original went for over 1K last month. another one i doubt i'll find...

♥ 3:19pm annie:

Cliff, back in the USA??!!! what part?

3:19pm Parq:

Hi, Miss Sheila. Every time I see that pic of you on the homepage, it makes me smile. As do today's sounds, of course.

♥ 3:20pm BronwynB:

hey i love this song!! hi sheila and everybody!

♥ 3:20pm Rob Kopp:

Great German sleeve

♥ 3:21pm Guido from Cologne:

hahaha German cover

3:21pm Dominick:

Hoo boy!

♥ 3:21pm The Oscar:

Did Lee ever do his own version of this, or is it just so Hazelwoody that I can't not hear him?

♥ 3:21pm Wendy del Formaggio:

"I never had to slap his face...and that's too bad." That's the best line I've heard all day, and I've spent a substantial part of the day interviewing people.

♥ 3:22pm ncjay:

PERFECT!!

3:22pm WFMU listener:

Blondie!

♥ 3:22pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

I'm in an internet dead zone in rural Wisconsin and have to stream over a cellular hotspot, I can't load more than 2 web pages at once or else the stream cuts out! Boooooooo

♥ 3:23pm Guido from Cologne:

kind of regret to have sold my Sarah Vaugn Mercury box vol. ??
But I was broke and Peter Gunn was the one really outstanding track.

♥ 3:23pm maestroso:

Hello Sheila! I'm sensing a theme here...

3:23pm P-90:

I'm in 007th Heaven, 'cuz I'm all about the spy themes/tunes!

3:24pm CTEmpress:

I spy for the FBI!!! I made it better late than never: I was on assignment ;)

3:25pm CTEmpress:

Hi everyone boom boom!

3:25pm Cheri Pi:

I know this song through The Untouchables

♥ 3:26pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I trust the entire London contingent is safe & sound and not affected by the recent unpleasantries in the Tube.

3:27pm P-90:

Yes, the lushest, most "atmospheric" pop record ever!

♥ 3:27pm Guido from Cologne:

agree about the Flamingos!
The whole "Serenades"-album is a masterwork!
Almost surrealistic!

3:29pm Number Six:

Hi Sheila! Nice set! What, no Lupin III?

♥ 3:29pm BronwynB:

i have that comp!

3:30pm The Contessa:

Hello @Ken, thank you for asking. This part of the contingent is fine

♥ 3:31pm annie:

sad to hear that cliff, we are experincing slow internet here, too... or maybe it's just firefox; it's all so damn annoying..i want to shut the puter down, but then i have no tunes..

3:32pm totallybiased:

how old r u?

♥ 3:34pm djsheilab:

@totallybiased 40 on Monday!

♥ 3:34pm JP from KC:

The local Alternative station here in KC has started playing Alvvays. I was pleasantly surprised.

♥ 3:34pm Michael 98145:

HBD !!

3:35pm P-90:

I thought me life would pass without ever having a reason to type this phrase, but:
Yes, Astley does have a big, strong singing voice.

♥ 3:35pm Ike:

Killer song!

♥ 3:36pm BronwynB:

happy almost birthday!!!

3:36pm Parq:

How do we get that E-newsletter, again?

♥ 3:36pm Rob Kopp:

The sound reminds me a bit of Sundays - Can't be sure

3:37pm NYCTrucking:

Always like hearing these new records on SBB. I'm usually a "Well, I prefer older music" person, but there are great tracks from 2017 every friday here!

♥ 3:37pm djsheilab:

Thanks @Bronwyn B!

♥ 3:38pm Rob Kopp:

@NYCTrucking: same for me

♥ 3:38pm djsheilab:

@Parq Just e-mail me on sheilab (at) wfmu.org

♥ 3:38pm ɨkɛ:

@JP, it's not a commercial station, is it?! Last time I heard a commercial "alt" station, it was mostly "classics", i.e. the same-old same-old Nirvana and STP from the 90s, and a few mediocre alt-top-40 crossovers like "fun." Ugh.

3:40pm JakeGould:

Shopaholic!

3:41pm JakeGould:

Nirvana and STP are technically classic rock nowadays.

♥ 3:41pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

I hear ya annie, I'm a lot more aware now of how much web sites are always loading stuff in the background when you have them open.... I just had to close my gmail tab because the stream kept cutting out again :P

And Happy 40th Sheila!!! Next summer is mine, haha

♥ 3:41pm JP from KC:

It WAS a commercial station, Ike. That's why I was so surprised. But they did that thing Commercial stations always do where they pretend like they plucked the artist out of nowhere, and they never did anything before the station found them.

♥ 3:42pm Julie:

Sheila! This isn't THAT song is it???

3:43pm Slick Goldtooth:

Yesssss Bikini Kill!

♥ 3:43pm Michael 98145:

BK !!

3:46pm Slick Goldtooth:

I saw Julie Ruin last November where they played Rebel Girl as the closer and people went nuts. It was so good considering Hanna doesn't usually bring out Bikini Kill songs for other projects

♥ 3:47pm BronwynB:

I was OBSESSED with Bad Reputation when I was 7 years old. It was on the Shrek soundtrack (it was a cover version actually) and I would jump up and down and sing along 20 times in a row if no one yanked it off. My cousin thought it was a "bad" song because of the "damn" so she would try and switch it to the Smash Mouth cover of I'm a Believer that was on that album, and we'd fight over it.

♥ 3:48pm BronwynB:

We listened to that album over and over and over. Snicker if you want but it introduced us (indirectly, via covers) to Joan Jett, The Monkees, and Leonard Cohen.

♥ 3:48pm BronwynB:

I need to cut down on the caffeine. I keep telling stories on the comments board.

♥ 3:49pm crateslinger:

No way BronwynB! You should get one of them giant Starbucks frosty things with a big green straw and pull up a chair.

3:49pm Number Six:

Gotta go! Have a great "B" day, Sheila!

♥ 3:49pm djsheilab:

@Julie It's not the same, but it's what reminded me of the Miss Universum track!

♥ 3:49pm JtotheK:

@BronwynB -- nothing wrong with the stories! (i tend to ramble on ... a lot ... when I have a chance to tune into Cool Blue Flame and other evening shows!)

♥ 3:50pm djsheilab:

Thanks @Number Six!

3:50pm Zoe T.:

Hey Sheila! Awesome to be able to tune in to your show from my office in Denver... happy early b-day and thanks for the tunes!

♥ 3:50pm BronwynB:

I <3 the giant starbucks frosty things

♥ 3:50pm Michael 98145:

Seeing Joan Jett in a small club back in the day is something i'll never forget.

♥ 3:52pm Michael 98145:

K-pop ?

♥ 3:52pm JtotheK:

@Bronwyn topic -- I remember hearing The Ramones as a youngster watching 'Vacation'...(the edited for TV version).

♥ 3:52pm Rob Kopp:

On an album, after a couple of "wild" tracks, you usually get a "slow" track, but not so on SBB

♥ 3:52pm The Oscar:

@BronwynB My version of that was the Elvira Halloween cassette my mom gave me when I was 8, which introduced me to the Cramps, the Tubes, and Screamin' Jay Hawkins waaaaay before I probably should have.

♥ 3:54pm Rob Kopp:

Are you hunted by a spy, Sheila?

3:55pm sugarwolf:

Aw, I missed Helen Love...

♥ 3:55pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

I always love the K/J-pop bit of the show

♥ 3:55pm Rob Kopp:

Or the "in 3 days I'm 40"-monster?

♥ 3:55pm djsheilab:

@Cliff back in the USSSSSSSA YAY!

♥ 3:56pm BronwynB:

@The Oscar: that's so great!!! My other major childhood album was the Powerpuff Girls soundtrack, which had songs by Black Francis and Shonen Knife along with a reference to Shooby Taylor- so I was introduced to outsider music (my future obsession) at the tender age of 6!

3:57pm NYCTrucking:

Having a good spirited laugh here with the title "Love and Glitter Hot Days and Musik". Words that certainly paint a fun energetic picture.

♥ 3:57pm Rob Kopp:

Kpop is an anagram of my family name!

♥ 3:58pm Julie:

Rob Kpop!

♥ 3:58pm crateslinger:

@ BronwynB - You must be about my daughter's age. Here song was "Scrubs" by TLC. I have video. Do your parents have video?

3:58pm matt:

Hell yes it was!

3:59pm Slick Goldtooth:

Can't go wrong with sugary stuff. Sugar's still going strong

♥ 3:59pm Rob Kopp:

@Julie: Do you think I should change my name?

♥ 4:00pm crateslinger:

"A skwub is a guy can't get no wub fwum me"

♥ 4:00pm The Oscar:

@BronwynB Ha, that was my GF's equivalent! I didn't hear it until my 20s, and the Shooby bit blew my goddamn mind.

♥ 4:00pm Rob Kopp:

It's Damaged Goods! My favorite girl group on that label: Thee Headcoatees

♥ 4:01pm BronwynB:

@crateslinger: Supposedly there is video of me playing air guitar to the Joan Jett cover. I wasn't nearly cool enough to listen to TLC back then, your daughter had me beat :D

♥ 4:01pm Julie:

@rob Yes but then you gotta dye your hair blue

♥ 4:01pm steveo:

there is some good kid music out there (dan zanes? tmbg?) but yeah horrendous kids music is horrendous

♥ 4:03pm Julie:

There's standby lines though! So worth it, oh my god

♥ 4:03pm crateslinger:

Well, she's a Brooklyn Girl, and may have thereby benefitted from certain cultural shortcuts.

♥ 4:03pm The Oscar:

When I was in second or third grade I volunteered to sing "The Eggplant that Ate Chicago" at my school's Grandparents' Day. No video that I'm aware of, but it's become a legendary moment in my family history.

4:05pm BnowB:

Bei Mir Bistu Shein? That would be one hell of a love song.

4:06pm Dominick:

Voutie!

♥ 4:06pm BronwynB:

As a Crown Heights resident this compilation is right up my alley

♥ 4:07pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Dunkin' bagel! Gefilte fish!

♥ 4:07pm The Oscar:

Slim is so great. I'm physically incapable of not smiling at "Potato Chips" or "Serenade to a Poodle."

4:07pm NYCTrucking:

Basically always a fan of gefilte fish making an appearance in any track

4:08pm michael z:

I think the Isley Brothers Twist and Shout works best for kids. They should go directly to the source.

4:08pm Parq:

My dad was hip to Slim Gaillard when I was still a teenager. (Ain't going into detail, but I'm much older now than he was then.) I've been a fan ever since I first heard him. Kerouak praises him in some detail in "On the Road".

♥ 4:08pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Pickled herring!

♥ 4:08pm crateslinger:

lol, Oscar

♥ 4:08pm βrian:

Never had gefilte fish that I liked, but I know it has to exist.

♥ 4:08pm Lixiviated Life:

Dunking bagles? Now your talking my language. Bagels, toast w/ butter, cookies, you name it.

♥ 4:09pm djsheilab:

@michael z Exactly! Directly to the source! Which is why those remakes really baffle me.

4:09pm Dean:

Idelsohn Society, as in Abraham Idelsohn, whose book, Jewish Music, I have but have yet to read: https://books.google.com/books/about/Jewish_Music.html

4:10pm Parq:

By the way, I never cared for that Kid'sBop stuff either. Schlock-loving friends and relatives would give that sort of thing to our kid as presents, and we wouldn't discourage her from listening to it, but I think she could tell the difference between what we were digging and what we were tolerating, and it did make a difference to her.

4:10pm Stay Frosty:

Loving your choices for this set Sheila. Thanks...

♥ 4:11pm The Oscar:

It's even weirder with current pop, where the age difference is like maaaaybe five years.

4:11pm JakeGould:

@DJSheilaB: A show dedicated to “Twist and Shout” rights and permissions would be something.

4:11pm Dean:

Have to disagree, @Parq. I actually prefer many of the KidzBop versions to the originals.

♥ 4:11pm JtotheK:

ted taylor! (was very excited when I found this 45 earlier this year!)

♥ 4:14pm Rob Kopp:

@Sheila: If you like Somebody's always trying, I'm sure you will like "I lost the best things I ever had" as well

♥ 4:14pm djsheilab:

@JtotheK Lucky you! I'm still searching. Allentown next weekend fingers crossed!

♥ 4:15pm crateslinger:

Both my kids have been raised on a combination of WFMU, Steely Dan, Frank Sinatra, and Black Metal. They turned out just fine without the kidzbop, although some of that stuff is amazing.

♥ 4:16pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

The Japanese title of this is completely different from the English one, it translates to "My First Lover"

4:17pm JasonInBoston:

Just got a white label vinyl demo of Ted Taylor over the weekend. Had the purple vinyl copy twice. Killer sound and engineered well.

4:18pm julie:

oh this is great. if I weren't beat I'd be dancing

♥ 4:18pm JtotheK:

good luck at Allentown, I'm sure you'll find some great records! i was record browsing over lunch at area store recently and some people from the UK were making a dent in the soul 45s and mentioned being in the states for a record show this weekend and the next. so if you see John from the UK, say hello for me!

♥ 4:19pm Rob Kopp:

@JtotheK: It's offered on discogs for $300

4:19pm JakeGould:

This Japanese song is a bit “You’re no good, no good, no good, baby you’re no good.”

4:19pm NYCTrucking:

I remember being 3 or 4 years old, putting my brothers' ramones and the damned cassettes in the boombox, and just being blown away by the power of amazing music.

♥ 4:19pm crateslinger:

I couldn't have been prouder than when my musician friend heard my three year old daughter on the floor with her dolls lightly singing to herself, "Back, Jack, do it again."

♥ 4:22pm crateslinger:

Terry Jack's "Seasons in the Sun" was my first favorite, or that nun singing the Lord's Prayer. I wasn't much of a dancer.

♥ 4:22pm JtotheK:

@JasonBoston - agreed, the Ted Taylor is a great /sounding/ record! congrats on the demo find!

4:23pm Stay Frosty:

Damn this is gooooood

♥ 4:25pm Carmichael:

Heya Sheila and Boomers. Just back from luncheon. Always love some Nancy Sinatra.

♥ 4:26pm Rob Kopp:

@JasonInBoston: Discogs is showing a 3rd version (grey label, purple letters) with the same song on side a and b

♥ 4:30pm Rob Kopp:

What's the point in turning red? Julie wants me to turn blue!

♥ 4:31pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

So long Liz! I will always appreciate your show for introducing me to MEAT SWEATS

4:31pm JakeGould:

@Liz: Au revoir, madam!

4:32pm Carlos Rossi:

first time caller, long time listener!

♥ 4:32pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Hi, Liz. Take care!

4:32pm JakeGould:

I genuinely miss the “Robot Dance Party” already… And sandwich time.

4:33pm xazar:

Hey Sheila - I've been happily listening to your show for 6 months now. I love your music but what really brings me back is your BREATHLESS ENTHUSIASM. You are a gift on this planet!

♥ 4:33pm ncjay:

Bob Stanley!!

♥ 4:34pm Adrian in London:

@groucho Happy anniversary :) Thanks for writing!

4:38pm JasonInBoston:

St. Etienne is a HUGE influence on me as well. Foxbase Alpha is also one of my favorite albums of all time. When that came out, I was getting way into Phil Spector, Northern Soul, Scott Walker along with all the rap and dance music I was already playing. It came along at the perfect time. So Tough is a masterpiece as well. True tastemakers they are.

4:38pm The Contessa:

Love this Sheila! Cards on the Table

4:38pm Carlos Rossi:

that tune was absolutely amazing.

♥ 4:39pm djsheilab:

Glad you loved it @Carlos Rossi! Glad you're here!!

4:42pm Stay Frosty:

God I love Abba

♥ 4:42pm ncjay:

4:42pm DJ Carlos Rossi:

Thank you Sheila!

♥ 4:42pm BronwynB:

I LOVE ABBA

♥ 4:42pm djsheilab:

@ncay WOW. Yes! Completely.

4:44pm JakeGould:

@Ken: What about your rich wife?

♥ 4:44pm listener james from westwood:

I'd never heard this ABBA track; glad to have heard it now. Sounded a wee bit Moroderish, which is always a bonus.

4:45pm CTEmpress:

YA YA ABBA and yea Single of The Week!

♥ 4:45pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

<3 ᗅᗺᗷᗅ

♥ 4:45pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@Jake - Are you thinking of listener dale?

♥ 4:46pm Justin B.:

Hurray for all the ABBA love!

4:46pm BnowB:

4:48pm JakeGould:

@Ken: Oh, sorry… Ken, Dale… Imma dumb!

♥ 4:48pm djsheilab:

4:48pm The Contessa:

OMG! Wonderful Shangri Las

♥ 4:53pm ncjay:

wow, spector-eque piano in this one

♥ 4:53pm listener james from westwood:

Killin' it with this set!

4:53pm Adrian in London:

@djsheilab My 'atmospheric' playlist is becoming somewhat unwieldy!

4:53pm Adrian in London:

And, yes, there's a Françoise track on there, naturellement.

♥ 4:55pm djsheilab:

@Adrian In London The more the merrier!

♥ 4:55pm Rob Kopp:

@Adrian: Look forward to your unwieldy choice. I'm sure it will be great.

♥ 4:55pm Justin B.:

Did "I Only Have Eyes For You" appear in some sort of horror movie or David Lynch scene? Because for some reason it always gives me the creeps. Atmospheric for sure though.

♥ 4:56pm crateslinger:

Happy Birthday Sheila. I'm sure you'll have a great day and you're still young enough to be around when they figure out how to upload brain content to the cloud so you will live forever! I'm heading home. I'll be listening in the car and wishing I could tell more boring stories about myself. This is my only social media outlet! Liz I miss you already. Bye everybody. Thanks for not picking on me! I always feel outsmarted in here. B^)

4:56pm P-90:

Mavis still in business! Kind of restores a little faith in the world...

♥ 4:57pm Michael 98145:

Cervical cancer is the MOST treatable cancer when caught at an early stage!

♥ 5:08pm djsheilab:

Thanks for all your birthday wishes! Xoxoxo

5:09pm DocTerry:

Thank you for the public service announcement Sheila B. Advanced cervical cancer is a terrible tragedy which you note is readily preventable. You may have saved some lives today by inspiring people to do what they need to do to check this out.

Sending love from BUST HQ and Happy birthday xoxo

5:12pm DJ Carlos Rossi:

OH Happy Birthday Sheila! x

♥ 5:14pm djsheilab:

Thank you @Ken from Hyde Park + @DJ Carlos Rossi!

5:14pm Parq:

Bjork was on Colbert (the old Colbert, the Fox spoof) promoting Biophilia. Colbert was so dazzled by her that he made one halfhearted attempt to stay in character (grumbling that "science is bad") before giving up altogether and just being the gushing fanboy he was.

5:14pm BnowB:

I have to think of the sugar cubes for a moment. Ok less haunted.

♥ 5:14pm Michael 98145:

then there is always Hope

♥ 5:15pm listener james from westwood:

Hope Sandoval = insta-clicky star

♥ 5:15pm djsheilab:

Talk about atmospheric!

5:16pm v-dawg:

Good job on the announcement; there was no blushing in your voice.

5:16pm DJ Carlos Rossi:

You can really see how she's inspired everyone, i hear so much of her in Lana Del Rey's catalog. This new EP is stellar.

♥ 5:21pm ChrisB.:

You want atmosphere? Pluck any tune out of the Julee Cruise canon. Seriously dreamy.

♥ 5:21pm djsheilab:

@ChrisB. Yes indeed!

5:22pm matt:

LLIISSSSIIIEEEEE

5:24pm CTEmpress:

Lissie: this is new to me! Thank you!

♥ 5:26pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

I became a Lissie fan after seeing her on Twin Peaks

♥ 5:27pm djsheilab:

@CTEmpress Glad you liked her!

5:27pm Old Dave:

Can't fault this artist's insight. 40 in my rearview...

♥ 5:28pm ncjay:

Here's to 40, Sheila! Happy birthday, birthweek, birthmonth and birthyear!

♥ 5:28pm Carmichael:

40 is the new 30, Sheila.

5:29pm Parq:

This Sophie song is as right as rain. (Not sure what's particularly right about rain, but the wisdom of the ages is in the simile, as Dickens said.) Happy birthday, Miss Sheila.

5:29pm Stephanie:

Happy almost- Birthday @djsheilab!! Cheers!

5:29pm NYCTrucking:

That Sophie Tucker was so moving and nice. Happy Birthday djsheilab!

5:30pm Marie:

Hey Sheila, loved that last one. I agree with her. Happy b-day!

♥ 5:30pm Chris J:

♥ 5:33pm Michael 98145:

( we're all aging at the same rate :)

5:34pm Eddie Caffrey:

40 is the new 25 Sheila B.....I reached 27 some years ago and I am forever there!

♥ 5:35pm ncjay:

I told a twitter friend I bought Jefferson Airplane's "After Bathing At Baxter's" when it came out in 1967 and she was like oO

5:36pm xazar:

Michael 98145, Not true. I am aging at my own special, snowflake rate, as are you.

5:36pm Jason:

A 20-year-old Puffy song!

5:36pm northguineahills:

Back at work, everything nearly back to normal. Going to work late tonight and through the weekend to make up for the days I missed when I didn't have electricity.

♥ 5:37pm Carmichael:

Tommy, I also just turned the big 6 oh. Feels kind strange so far ...

5:37pm sonnyspop:

Sheila, have a great birthday, you're awesome! Thanks for all of the great vibes and tunes!

5:38pm xazar:

Eddie Caffrey, I reached the end of the line decades ago, but the universe keeps laying more track.

Ah, I should've guessed some Alan Parsons would be in the offing!

5:41pm EarlyMorninginSeoul:

Good morning!

♥ 5:41pm Carmichael:

HA HA! How did I know you would play this???

5:41pm The Contessa:

Love it!

5:42pm CTEmpress:

YES!!!!!

5:42pm Adrian in London:

I was just thinking there'd be some APP soon ;-)

5:42pm fredr:

I knew you had Alan Parsons up your sleeve Sheila! Reading my mind again, LOL

♥ 5:42pm Carmichael:

The 35th anniversary box set is coming out. Disco'ed up version of Sirius, numerous outtakes, etc ... it's a fun package. I helped it pass the listening test!

I just know there's something by Barry Gibb coming up

Next one Tammy St.John?

5:43pm Stay Frosty:

Wow. Just wow. Haven't this gem in forever. Thanks, Sheils

5:43pm The Contessa:

Can't understand why he won't agree to an interview…

♥ 5:43pm djsheilab:

@Carmichael I listened to the disco version of "Sirius" on Spotify last night. LOVE IT!!!

♥ 5:44pm Carmichael:

@contessa, go here for the story: www.billboard.com...

♥ 5:45pm Guido from Cologne:

@Sheila
How do you like John Miles' "Rebel" album!
In the end it is an Alan Parsons Project album.
Parsons, Wolfson, Powell, everyone is involved.

♥ 5:46pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.:

Leaving a little early, thanks Sheila!

♥ 5:46pm Carmichael:

@contessa, I couldn't get hold of him in time to tell him about Sheila. He's normally very accommodating.

If you like the Alan Parson Project proper, check out Freudiana. The APP album that wasn't.

5:49pm JtotheK:

Enjoyed the show, thanks SheilaB! Have a wonderful birthday weekend!

♥ 5:49pm Kevin-san:

Hope you have a wonderful B-day, Sheila, thanks for all the fine sounds today!

5:51pm DJ Carlos Rossi:

♥ 5:51pm Rob Kopp:

Thanks again, Sheila. Happy birthday coming Monday. And next week we wil have an older and wiser dee-jay (to stay in the mood of APP).

This is more like a birthday present for US!

5:53pm P-90:

♥ 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Bad things may come in threes,
But good stuff comes from DJ Sheila B!

♥ 5:55pm listener james from westwood:

5:58pm Adrian in London:

That was LOVELY!!! Thanks, Ms 39 xx
