	3:18pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: In my mind, I have been floating through and navigating a zero gravity in a spaceship as the song has been playing. I have no devices saved my imagination.
	3:19pm Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts 💭: save except
	3:19pm tim from washington: I really really like this Priscilla Ermel.
	3:20pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila and dreamy dazy listeners.
	3:20pm U.K. Steve: Imagination is the best device…
	3:21pm βrian: Missed the birds, damn it.
	3:22pm listener james from westwood: This Ermel is extraordinary. And I've had my hand on the Ace collection a few times and the Léonie may have finally tilted me into buying.
	3:22pm djsheilab: βrian—The birds will be back.....
	3:23pm djsheilab: Hello Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts + Carmichael!
	3:24pm Neil in Somerset: The Maki Asakawa comp on Honest Jon's should be in every collection. It's brilliant.
	3:24pm djsheilab: Neil in Somerset—Truly.
	3:24pm djsheilab: listener james from westwood—It's a flawless comp!
	3:26pm Neil in Somerset: I don't want this set to end!
	3:26pm t_the_neeld: Hi all from Hamburg! It’s been forever since I listened live - a real pleasure
	3:27pm tim from washington: If Alan Vega were to start making music again, this Lselie Winer and M. Sterling is what it would sound like. Yes, I do mean Alan Vega from beyond.
	3:28pm djsheilab: Hello t_the_neeld!
	3:29pm Jason from Houston: Problems? Solution: Rivers.
	3:29pm BH: the songs are sounding majestic so far
	3:30pm Jason from Houston: For all other problems, ban assault rifles.
	3:32pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wait, what's up with Trouble?
	3:32pm tim from washington: Wow! Good thing the Bridsong Project is being released in volumes. You can buy the box set on installment plan. All kidding aside, this looks like a cool project.
	3:33pm Robm: @Listener johnny trouble is taking the summer off
	3:37pm djsheilab: Here's a link to 'For the Birds': shorefire.com...
	3:37pm djsheilab: Thank you BH!
	3:37pm That Goddam Todd: Juliet Greco... How many times have we shown Orphee on 16mm over the past 30 years?
	3:38pm Will in Norman: nice callback to Borodin's Polovtsian dances here
	3:38pm Niall: Audubon has it on their site, too. Wow! www.audubon.org...
	3:39pm Rob Kopp: Hello Sheila, hello Friday friends. Was watching the first half of the football match Belgium - NL (half time 0-1) and completely forgot it's SBB :-(
	3:39pm βrian: @Will in Norman: Which makes me think of those classical selection LPs they used to hawk on TV.
	3:40pm djsheilab: Hey Rob Kopp + Will in Norman!
	3:41pm Michael 98145: Bring on the boom-boom. Just got our 2nd booster shots.
	3:43pm Michael 98145: Any news about Comrade Bryce ... ?
	3:44pm tim from washington: I like that there's so much poetry on the Birdsong Project.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Hey Michael 98145!
	3:45pm D Rok: Loving this set so far. Happy Friday everyone!
	3:46pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	3:47pm DjLorraine: I miss Bryce
	3:47pm Jason from Houston: Goddamn theme song right here.
	3:48pm JoeG: That was awesome, DJSB! I'm home early from work, chillin', watching Hawaii Five-0 reruns (the original, of course), an episode in which Ricardo Montalbon is racing around the island in an old Ferrari with a white racing suit and red football style helmet on, with sunglasses, and listening to the last track, which was akin to a Neil Richardson type tune...all is well this Friday afternoon!
	3:48pm Robm: @DJlorraine we all do
	3:48pm djsheilab: Thanks D Rok! Hey JoeG!
	3:49pm djsheilab: DjLorraine—Me too. He is sorely missed.
	3:51pm Stevel: May I ask how Bryce is doing, and whether or not enough money was raised towards his recovery?
	3:52pm djsheilab: Stevel—I don't have an update on Bryce. But the goal for his Go Fund Me was reached :)
	3:53pm Jason from Houston: www.gofundme.com...
	3:55pm tim from washington: Sally Townes is a heavy jam!
	3:57pm Jason from Houston: Rock it!
	3:58pm Clo: One of the best Aaliyah songs ever. <3
	3:59pm djsheilab: Clo—I couldn't agree more. Brilliant, understated super-sensual R&B. The best!
	4:00pm katharsis: This song is making me blush
	4:00pm love2laf: One hour in, clicky heart finger sore, but mind & body? Giddy!
	4:01pm Michael 98145: Minnie !
	4:02pm Robm: @love2laf same here with the clickystars, I just might clicky star the whole show
	4:02pm headcleaner: Now my day begins
	4:02pm Cecile: Hello! Haven't heard any of this except for Minnie and Aaliyah
	4:05pm Chris Hiatt: Sorry I'm late to the party! Hello All...
	4:06pm P-90: “One of the greatest R&B records” -agreed!
	4:06pm Bimbus Bambus: So many little percussive elements in the Aaliyah song that keep it interesting even though there's a lot of repetition.
	4:06pm Handy Haversack: Fond Friday greetings, Sheila and the most Sophisiticated of Boom Boomers! Sorry I'm late. Had to move some boats around.
	4:06pm P-90: “no need for vocal flexing” -Bingo!
	4:08pm Sean in Newark: Love the show
	4:09pm Robm: @Shelia your show and a couple of others i hide from the world until they are over
	4:09pm Vanessa Tara: gurdjieff? hmm ...
	4:09pm Michael 98145: Handy the tillerman. 😎
	4:10pm P-90: Well, dowsing is not exactly “a form of psychotherapy”, but… we get it
	4:11pm Handy Haversack: He is a tiller He has a tiller's hands
	4:11pm Michael 98145: We all depend on Hemoglobin.
	4:12pm Guido from Cologne: Bought a vinyl version of Come To My Garden just today-
	4:12pm heatherita: my boyfriend and I are pros at toxic
	4:13pm ParUbi: What‘s the name of the TV show she‘s talking about? I missed it due to ambient noise (not the good kind)
	4:13pm Rob Kopp: In the meantime Belgium - NL is 0-4!
	4:13pm djsheilab: ParUbi—It's called "Couples Therapy"
	4:13pm Tom in Topanga: DJ Couples Therapy at Bar Franca (LA) next Thursday night :)
	4:14pm Michael 98145: I started watching the Stanley Cup playoffs last night .
	4:14pm ParUbi: Thanks!
	4:14pm djsheilab: Thanks Sean in Newark!
	4:14pm heatherita: Sheila, this is nice, Eboni Band, perfect for a warm friday afternoon!
	4:14pm dreamyandseedy: had to join a work meeting and missed aaliyah!!! :( happy to be back in time for fasso though
	4:15pm djsheilab: Hey Headcleaner, Cecile, Handy H., Chris Hiatt, Tom in Topanga, Guido from Cologne + heatherita!
	4:16pm Cooh John: We have more in common with each other than differences. We are all one. There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.🙏
	4:16pm heatherita: hey Sheila
	4:16pm t_the_neeld: In Treatment (which I loved and could not get enough of) reminds me of one of my favorite movies - Scenes from a Marriage. I could watch people work out their stuff endlessly.
	4:17pm djsheilab: t_the_neeld—Scenes From A Marriage! I loved that so much too. You must watch 'Couples Therapy.' It's truly excellent.
	4:19pm t_the_neeld: I definitely will if I can get it here.
	4:19pm Michael 98145: This -is- nice
	4:20pm katharsis: I remember liking In treatment. I don’t think I saw all seasons. I don’t have the channel or I would try Couples Therapy
	4:20pm heatherita: Couples Therapy - It sounds good, maybe more thoughtful than all the reactive attention-grabbing stuff you see these days
	4:20pm Stephanie: really feeling the music today, always great to be here with you good people.
	4:20pm Vanessa Tara: of course, there's the original "an american family" from the early 70s
	4:21pm Robm: Just clicked starred your show sheliab
	4:21pm Joe McG: There he is! :)
	4:21pm Handy Haversack: Such an occasion for a man!
	4:22pm heatherita: I was gonna say..it's Phil! Talk about someone who was inspired by his broken relationship!
	4:22pm Chris Hiatt: Yassss.
	4:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Sheila and the sophistication nation! Hope I haven't missed anything!
	4:22pm djsheilab: Joe McG....Haha!
	4:22pm Quinn02: The occasional man has returned
	4:23pm Joe McG: @SheilaB: One of my favorites!
	4:23pm djsheilab: Thanks Stephanie!
	4:24pm ryansterlingvirtue: Great Phil pick as always. Haven’t heard this since back in the day
	4:25pm Michael 98145: @Vanessa, are you sharing our gloomy, drizzly June up there, too ?
	4:26pm tim from washington: I think we might see Sheila and Alan Parsons on Couples Therapy now that Phil has entered the picture.
	4:26pm djsheilab: ryansterlingvirtue—It's a good one! Hey Quinn02 + Ken from Hyde Park!
	4:27pm djsheilab: tim from washington—I'm afraid Alan + I have parted ways. But we're still great friends.
	4:27pm t_the_neeld: I almost said hi to Ladies on Record at a festival in Berlin last weekend, but my shyness overcame me. Reminded me of that great interview a couple of years ago.
	4:27pm Handy Haversack: Sheila, if you don't mind, just sharing a Bandcamp link for a comp album to benefit a land trust organization for farmers of color and Indigenous farmers. Lots of good stuff on here: Kim Gordon, Kelley Deal, the Linda Lindas, Kathleen Hanna, Mike Watt, and more. It's fake Bandcamp Friday! ericadawnlylevicecooler.bandcamp.com... (Bandcamp has announced they will do their Juneteenth fund raiser and return to BCFridays Sept.-Dec.)
	4:29pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Share away!
	4:30pm djsheilab: t_the_neeld—Ah Kornelia! What a lovely woman she is. Did you get to see her DJ?
	4:30pm tim from washington: @Sheila - a friendship maintained is a win/win!
	4:33pm Vanessa Tara: @michael 98145: yep
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had I said HELLO on AllenGinsberg's Birthday? with French PopJazz delighting my synapses & rain after shock release of Lightning & Thunder a permission erupting in my metabolism to allow Joy in my body & temporal emotion allow it to Live & Die as I must too... The Planets & the Universe Revolve & I am an I that is no I a center that is Everywhere Nowhere a Society of Joy & Insanity bent on ballistic self-obliteration tweaking the triggers disfiguring the faces of tinychildrens & the Big Thermostat @ our Mother's Heart. It might as well be Friday - as Kerouac observed - listening to the Song on the Radio...
	4:33pm t_the_neeld: I didn’t unfortunately! She was on at 11:30 and it had been a long day. (It was Berlin, so of course it went to 6 AM).
	4:33pm JtotheK: i'm in a work meeting but chiming in to note that I still /need/ this Gloria Walker 45. Hi sheilaB, hi everyone.
	4:34pm iiibeat: 180 We are so incredibly different from each and another. So different that we are actually THE SAME! How weird it is!! lol
	4:37pm Joey: Hi Everyone!! Hey Sheila...GREAT show today!! My Jess graduated with her masters!! I told her mom and i graduated from the school of french pop!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
	4:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, Joey. Best of luck to Jess!
	4:40pm Will in Norman: the prog bog
	4:41pm DjLorraine: Joe McG i have been worried about you and i am so soothed that you have surfaced.
	4:41pm Will in Norman: there's a lot of great weird gems in the prog world. it goes pretty global too.
	4:41pm Vanessa Tara: sorry, i was across the room and heard "frog bug"
	4:42pm tim from washington: I will happily listen to a Sheila curated prog show.
	4:42pm Diane: PROGress indeed, Sheila!
	4:42pm Dave M: Always an honor to get a shoutout from Sheila!
	4:43pm Neil in Somerset: Oh Sheila. The "prog bug" can get very expensive!
	4:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Prognostication of sophistication!
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: OK, I needed to cool down from that boat moving. Shifting Sands: mixed! Cheers, m'dears! Also: wow, "Boy Trouble"!
	4:44pm KG.585: GORP bug
	4:44pm morphe': Chris Stewart was the actual 1st Genesis Drummer .. https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2015/08/24/inenglish/1440409830_810361.html [early early photo] above https://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/jun/29/biography.summerreading2002
	4:44pm Joey: Thanks so much Ken!!
	4:44pm Diane: Couldn’t check in last week, but my sister and I went see Amber Mark her first night in Brooklyn - exceeded our expectations! Love seeing her exuberance on stage.
	4:46pm Will in Norman: Renaissance is a female-front prog band worth checking out imo
	4:46pm tim from washington: I think I'm a little scared of the physical places that a deep diving prog collector would have to enter. It would be an epic of triple LP tri-fold album cover proportion.
	4:46pm djsheilab: Dave M—I was a bit hesitant about naming you on the air but then I realized we all need to be out n' proud about Phil!
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...quite an elaborate carapace the PrawgBug...
	4:46pm βrian: Marianne Sägebrecht is listening.
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: tim: triple LIVE trifold-album-cover proportion?!
	4:47pm katharsis: Baghdad Cafe?
	4:47pm djsheilab: Scott Williams just popped down to Studio A to lend me a book called "The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock" by David Weigel.
	4:47pm Laurie H: Oh yes bring me back SHEILA!! #callingyou
	4:48pm djsheilab: Diane—Yessssss!!! Thanks for sharing. She exceeded my expectations too. Such a sparkling artist!
	4:48pm tim from washington: Scotty on the spot!
	4:49pm Cooh John: This song from "Baghdad Cafe" should have won the Oscar, IMHO. 🎶
	4:50pm djsheilab: Laurie H!! I thought of you when I pulled this out actually. Cos I remember you commented the last time I played it :)
	4:50pm Michael 98145: Loved that movie. Think we've had that conversation before.
	4:50pm Neil in Somerset: A new day yesterday by Mike Barnes is a good and suitably epic prog book. 600 pages.
	4:50pm djsheilab: Prog bug is going around folks!
	4:50pm anne: this. is amazing!
	4:51pm tim from washington: @Handy - exactly! And Sheila may need to employ you as her A Team so you can navigate that world with your D & D prowess to unlock invisible force fields and such.
	4:51pm P-90: (Some of us have been infected since the 70’s)
	4:51pm morphe': ps. 1st Genesis photo... Stewart is the angry one on Stage LEFT
	4:51pm KG.585: low key psychedelic
	4:51pm Polyus: Just last night I was watching a thing about Geddy Lee and he talked about always liking a lot of different kinds of music, and that progressive rock allowed him a space to incorporate all those influences. Obviously some people would now want to debate that idea, but back in the early 70s, before it became so synonymous with bloat, that probably made a lot of sense.
	4:51pm djsheilab: P-90—Jealous!
	4:51pm Robm: I love how well read a lot of people are on this station
	4:52pm waters7: Its been a long time since I heard that song. Thank you, Sheila B! You are the best. I look forward to Friday afternoons. Thank you for all of your effort.
	4:52pm Will in Norman: @polyus that actually makes a lot of sense, frank zappa did a doo-wop record, after all. it's pretty great too
	4:53pm morphe': ROBM - that is wh we are Not -for-Profit Edu Radio and SHOULD NEVER PAY JC PRPERTY TAXES !!!!!!!
	4:54pm djsheilab: waters7—My pleasure!
	4:54pm Stephanie: Pulling on my heart strings!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Polyus—Love that, thanks for sharing.
	4:55pm Robm: @Morphe i have a TBR pile that i am never going to finish
	4:55pm βrian: Jack Palance: "I like your hat … Really!"
	4:57pm LCBD: So happy I was able to tune in today. SheilaB, so much good music!!
	4:57pm Michael 98145: J'aime les chanteuses françaises
	4:58pm P-90: (and yes indeed, “prog” did become “synonymous with bloat” but only among a few folks who never listened to, liked, or knew about prog, mostly a few self-described “music critics.” And it’s a mistake to think that prog was singled out, there were a few prog bands that were selling a lot of records and selling out big arenas every year in the seventies. Those bands were ALL accused of “bloat” because they weren’t playing to half a room at CBGB like “unbloated” bands… )
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sounded like the little prelude to 'Roundabout' by Yes.
	4:59pm Polyus: I have not owned a copy of this record in so many years, maybe I will see if I can find it at the library this weekend.
	4:59pm Michael 98145: RIP, Alan White
	5:00pm djsheilab: Thanks LCBD!
	5:00pm tim from washington: I really want to get The Lamb Lies Down record. I'm off to go see my daughter in her first school play. Thank you, Sheila! Have a good weekend everybody!
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'People called it Prog instead of Psychedelic cause they didn't wanna admit they were still taking drugs!' - MickFarren
	5:02pm Handy Haversack: tim, the quest I've been waiting for!
	5:03pm Will in Norman: @rev rabbit my slightly tongue-in-cheek distinguisher between psych & prog is that with prog the musicians actually knew how to play their instruments well
	5:04pm P-90: So Yes and Genesis were accused of being bloated dinosaurs, because (here’s the Prog Fact for this week) they were both among the top ten ticket selling acts in North America year after year in the 70’s. along with Rilling Stones, Kiss, etc. ALL of those bands (even the Stones) were criticized at the time for not being someone’s idea of “authentic rock”.
	5:05pm Will in Norman: like stashu & her speedchanges in the middle of a song lol
	5:05pm Robm: @Sheliab that what makes this station so great, the djs are screwing things up
	5:06pm Will in Norman: @p-90 I feel you, I never understood Rolling Stone's (the magazine) contempt for Deep Purple
	5:06pm Kate D: Hi from New Orleans Sheila — you’re coming in hawt! Love Kate D
	5:07pm iiibeat: But what does the record SOUND like?? I would love to hear it or buy it . . Please.
	5:07pm Kate D: 1990 !!
	5:07pm Michael 98145: "Naughty And Saucy Song"
	5:08pm LCBD: Baghdad Café! Yes! Was thinking Paris, Texas. Must watch that movie again
	5:09pm U.K. Steve: My all time favourite DJ the late and truly,truly great mr John Peel was almost as famous for his ‘slip ups’ as for he’s incredibly eclectic and brilliant musical taste… And he was loved all the more for it
	5:10pm Yvang: 69 gems from the naughty and kinky chanson...
	5:10pm iiibeat: iiibeat@yahoo.com. Tell me how much. For the station, right?
	5:10pm Michael 98145: ( cute bear )
	5:10pm djsheilab: Thanks for sharing that, U.K. Steve! Makes me feel even better :)
	5:11pm djsheilab: Kate D! You're in New Orleans?!! How lovely!
	5:11pm P-90: So for those of you who think of Phil Collins as just the Sussudio guy, an annoying little lightweight from the 80’s who cluttered the radio and MTV with vapid pop, remember: before ANY of that he had a nearly decade-long career as one of the hottest, most respected drummers, and songwriter and backup singer in a band that released a best-selling album and did a massively successful tour year after year.
	5:12pm Kate D: Yes indeed… For work! As you broke into French I felt right at home. Got the AC on and listening to these fine tunes - namaste ❤️
	5:13pm djsheilab: Thank you for the translation, Yvang!
	5:14pm Yvang: Avec plaisir!
	5:15pm DjLorraine: LCBD yes Paris, Texas is an odd favorite of mine too
	5:16pm P-90: AND Phil accomplished what sounded nearly impossible: When Peter Gabriel left Genesis in the mid seventies, Phil took over as frontman and Genesis made two more albums that were every bit as worthy as the Gabriel albums, each accompanied by another immensely successful world tour. In fact I saw how audiences of fans who LOVED Gabriel warned right up to Phil’s singing and showmanship. A very rare thing to happen with any hugely successful group.
	5:18pm djsheilab: P-90—You tell 'em!
	5:19pm djsheilab: P-90—My favorite line: "Those bands were ALL accused of “bloat” because they weren’t playing to half a room at CBGB like “unbloated” bands… )"
	5:20pm heatherita: Beth Orton - so nice - have a great weekend everyone!
	5:20pm U.K. Steve: Oh my….I can feel the sophistication washing over me like warm ocean waves….
	5:22pm morphe': Thanks SoPhisBBMMM Shelia B .. and all !! must to the kitchen !!!!!!!!!
	5:22pm Michael 98145: Difficult to realize "She Cries Your Name" dates from 1996 ...
	5:23pm U.K. Steve: Just thinking that myself Michael 98145
	5:24pm U.K. Steve: She’s such a rare talent… Love Beth Orton but never heard this before Thank you Sheila…again
	5:25pm Bimbus Bambus: This album with Little Simz' are tied for my #1 spot of 2021
	5:29pm djsheilab: Bill Withers—what a songwriter.
	5:30pm Michael 98145: yes
	5:36pm P-90: Bill Withers: gets plenty of love but still underrated
	5:36pm Don F.: Beautiful selections, Shela B.! Eno, Badalamenti produced influence.
	5:37pm djsheilab: Thanks Don F.!
	5:37pm common: Sheila b., all
	5:40pm Vanessa Tara: gotta go! thanks again, sheila!
	5:40pm Rick from SC: Thanks for the great Friday vibes. I love that you’re now into prog.
	5:40pm djsheilab: Happy weekend, Vanessa T!
	5:40pm djsheilab: Rick from SC—I caught the bug!
	5:42pm Rick from SC: I’d hate to think what Ken would say about this topic
	5:43pm Carmichael: You're probably not ready for Ozric Tentacles yet, Sheila, but you're on your way!
	5:43pm Monica: thx for an afternoon of loveliness, sheila. the perfect soundtrack to ava t. cat's futile attempts to pounce at a pair of mourning doves thru the kitchen screen window.
	5:45pm LCBD: SheilaB, have you ever heard of a French singer called Patachou?
	5:45pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sheila B did you find any DiscoPolo yet? Boys "Wolnosc" is a good a place as any to find it...
	5:46pm Michael 98145: Gigolo and the Gigolette
	5:46pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, DJ Sheila
	5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Boom boom went the prog!
	5:48pm Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Was washing dishes listening and falling into the pleasant trance of this Fatima tune. Trying to get the foul taste out of my head of taking the little ones to the tawdry, overpriced local carnival, and then though that I’d like to get back to the Abby Martin podcast about LSD (a subject covered nicely in the Jon Savage book “1966”), which I thought my good friend from CZ who just visited would enjoy, particularly after she relayed an enjoyable trip she recently had. That tune seemed a perfect encapsulation of my thoughts then. Cool stuff as always, Sheila.
	5:49pm BH: there's a Diana Ross/Tame Impala collaboration that was released around 2 weeks ago that'll be on a Despicable Me/Minions movie so, if things break right, there might be a Diana Ross hit this summer?
	5:50pm steveo: doesn't everybody user their organ?
	5:50pm Carmichael: Watch it, steveo ...
	5:51pm Tom in Topanga: Big Electric Cat... With headphones, max volume :)
	5:51pm TroyD8: Her bass player Rozi Plain is really good too
	5:52pm _Ike_: To paraphrase Marge Simpson, this turned into a program about rough sex with organs so gradually I didn't even notice!
	5:52pm djsheilab: TroyD8—Yes! She surrounds herself with great talent.
	5:52pm Heidella: Another beautiful journey, thanks Sheila! Perfect way to start the weekend, enjoy the sunshine everyone!
	5:54pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Djsheilab: That prog book is pretty good. Oh man, though...the egos! Also, you should check out Belew's solo stuff, which is pretty pop-oriented. Also did stuff with Laurie Anderson.
	5:54pm TroyD8: Thanks for music Djsheilab! 😀
	5:54pm djsheilab: Thx for checking in, Monica + Ava!
	5:55pm katharsis: Thank you Sheila B and all
	5:55pm Clo: Thank you for the amazing music. I feel like I've starred everything. Have a great weekend.
	5:56pm Michael 98145: Another vote for Big Electric Cat www.youtube.com...
	5:56pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Favorite ELP record: Tarkus. Because who doesn't love an armadillo tank?!

	3:23pm djsheilab: Hello Daybreaks Thinking Thoughts + Carmichael!

I'm home early from work, chillin', watching Hawaii Five-0 reruns (the original, of course), an episode in which Ricardo Montalbon is racing around the island in an old Ferrari with a white racing suit and red football style helmet on, with sunglasses, and listening to the last track, which was akin to a Neil Richardson type tune...all is well this Friday afternoon!

	4:06pm Handy Haversack: Fond Friday greetings, Sheila and the most Sophisiticated of Boom Boomers! Sorry I'm late. Had to move some boats around.

	4:16pm heatherita: hey Sheila
	4:16pm t_the_neeld: In Treatment (which I loved and could not get enough of) reminds me of one of my favorite movies - Scenes from a Marriage. I could watch people work out their stuff endlessly.
	4:17pm djsheilab: t_the_neeld—Scenes From A Marriage! I loved that so much too. You must watch 'Couples Therapy.' It's truly excellent.
	4:19pm t_the_neeld: I definitely will if I can get it here.
	4:19pm Michael 98145: This -is- nice
	4:20pm katharsis: I remember liking In treatment. I don’t think I saw all seasons. I don’t have the channel or I would try Couples Therapy

	4:25pm Michael 98145: @Vanessa, are you sharing our gloomy, drizzly June up there, too ?

	4:26pm djsheilab: ryansterlingvirtue—It's a good one! Hey Quinn02 + Ken from Hyde Park!
	4:27pm djsheilab: tim from washington—I'm afraid Alan + I have parted ways. But we're still great friends.
	4:27pm t_the_neeld: I almost said hi to Ladies on Record at a festival in Berlin last weekend, but my shyness overcame me. Reminded me of that great interview a couple of years ago.
	4:27pm Handy Haversack: Sheila, if you don't mind, just sharing a Bandcamp link for a comp album to benefit a land trust organization for farmers of color and Indigenous farmers. Lots of good stuff on here: Kim Gordon, Kelley Deal, the Linda Lindas, Kathleen Hanna, Mike Watt, and more. It's fake Bandcamp Friday! ericadawnlylevicecooler.bandcamp.com...

	4:29pm djsheilab: Handy Haversack—Share away!
	4:30pm djsheilab: t_the_neeld—Ah Kornelia! What a lovely woman she is. Did you get to see her DJ?
	4:30pm tim from washington: @Sheila - a friendship maintained is a win/win!
	4:33pm Vanessa Tara: @michael 98145: yep
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had I said HELLO on AllenGinsberg's Birthday? with French PopJazz delighting my synapses & rain after shock release of Lightning & Thunder a permission erupting in my metabolism to allow Joy in my body & temporal emotion allow it to Live & Die as I must too... The Planets & the Universe Revolve & I am an I that is no I a center that is Everywhere Nowhere a Society of Joy & Insanity bent on ballistic self-obliteration tweaking the triggers disfiguring the faces of tinychildrens & the Big Thermostat @ our Mother's Heart. It might as well be Friday - as Kerouac observed - listening to the Song on the Radio...
	4:33pm t_the_neeld: I didn’t unfortunately! She was on at 11:30 and it had been a long day. (It was Berlin, so of course it went to 6 AM).
	4:33pm JtotheK: i'm in a work meeting but chiming in to note that I still /need/ this Gloria Walker 45. Hi sheilaB, hi everyone.
	4:34pm iiibeat: 180 We are so incredibly different from each and another. So different that we are actually THE SAME! How weird it is!! lol
	4:37pm Joey: Hi Everyone!! Hey Sheila...GREAT show today!! My Jess graduated with her masters!! I told her mom and i graduated from the school of french pop!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
	4:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, Joey. Best of luck to Jess!
	4:40pm Will in Norman: the prog bog
	4:41pm DjLorraine: Joe McG i have been worried about you and i am so soothed that you have surfaced.
	4:41pm Will in Norman: there's a lot of great weird gems in the prog world. it goes pretty global too.
	4:41pm Vanessa Tara: sorry, i was across the room and heard "frog bug"
	4:42pm tim from washington: I will happily listen to a Sheila curated prog show.
	4:42pm Diane: PROGress indeed, Sheila!
	4:42pm Dave M: Always an honor to get a shoutout from Sheila!
	4:43pm Neil in Somerset: Oh Sheila. The "prog bug" can get very expensive!
	4:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Prognostication of sophistication!
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: OK, I needed to cool down from that boat moving. Shifting Sands: mixed! Cheers, m'dears! Also: wow, "Boy Trouble"!
	4:44pm KG.585: GORP bug
	4:44pm morphe': Chris Stewart was the actual 1st Genesis Drummer .. https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2015/08/24/inenglish/1440409830_810361.html [early early photo] above https://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/jun/29/biography.summerreading2002
	4:44pm Joey: Thanks so much Ken!!
	4:44pm Diane: Couldn’t check in last week, but my sister and I went see Amber Mark her first night in Brooklyn - exceeded our expectations! Love seeing her exuberance on stage.
	4:46pm Will in Norman: Renaissance is a female-front prog band worth checking out imo
	4:46pm tim from washington: I think I'm a little scared of the physical places that a deep diving prog collector would have to enter. It would be an epic of triple LP tri-fold album cover proportion.
	4:46pm djsheilab: Dave M—I was a bit hesitant about naming you on the air but then I realized we all need to be out n' proud about Phil!
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...quite an elaborate carapace the PrawgBug...
	4:46pm βrian: Marianne Sägebrecht is listening.
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: tim: triple LIVE trifold-album-cover proportion?!
	4:47pm katharsis: Baghdad Cafe?
	4:47pm djsheilab: Scott Williams just popped down to Studio A to lend me a book called "The Show That Never Ends: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock" by David Weigel.
	4:47pm Laurie H: Oh yes bring me back SHEILA!! #callingyou
	4:48pm djsheilab: Diane—Yessssss!!! Thanks for sharing. She exceeded my expectations too. Such a sparkling artist!
	4:48pm tim from washington: Scotty on the spot!
	4:49pm Cooh John: This song from "Baghdad Cafe" should have won the Oscar, IMHO. 🎶
	4:50pm djsheilab: Laurie H!! I thought of you when I pulled this out actually. Cos I remember you commented the last time I played it :)
	4:50pm Michael 98145: Loved that movie. Think we've had that conversation before.
	4:50pm Neil in Somerset: A new day yesterday by Mike Barnes is a good and suitably epic prog book. 600 pages.
	4:50pm djsheilab: Prog bug is going around folks!
	4:50pm anne: this. is amazing!
	4:51pm tim from washington: @Handy - exactly! And Sheila may need to employ you as her A Team so you can navigate that world with your D & D prowess to unlock invisible force fields and such.
	4:51pm P-90: (Some of us have been infected since the 70’s)
	4:51pm morphe': ps. 1st Genesis photo... Stewart is the angry one on Stage LEFT
	4:51pm KG.585: low key psychedelic
	4:51pm Polyus: Just last night I was watching a thing about Geddy Lee and he talked about always liking a lot of different kinds of music, and that progressive rock allowed him a space to incorporate all those influences. Obviously some people would now want to debate that idea, but back in the early 70s, before it became so synonymous with bloat, that probably made a lot of sense.
	4:51pm djsheilab: P-90—Jealous!
	4:51pm Robm: I love how well read a lot of people are on this station
	4:52pm waters7: Its been a long time since I heard that song. Thank you, Sheila B! You are the best. I look forward to Friday afternoons. Thank you for all of your effort.
	4:52pm Will in Norman: @polyus that actually makes a lot of sense, frank zappa did a doo-wop record, after all. it's pretty great too
	4:53pm morphe': ROBM - that is wh we are Not -for-Profit Edu Radio and SHOULD NEVER PAY JC PRPERTY TAXES !!!!!!!
	4:54pm djsheilab: waters7—My pleasure!
	4:54pm Stephanie: Pulling on my heart strings!
	4:55pm djsheilab: Polyus—Love that, thanks for sharing.
	4:55pm Robm: @Morphe i have a TBR pile that i am never going to finish
	4:55pm βrian: Jack Palance: "I like your hat … Really!"
	4:57pm LCBD: So happy I was able to tune in today. SheilaB, so much good music!!
	4:57pm Michael 98145: J'aime les chanteuses françaises
	4:58pm P-90: (and yes indeed, “prog” did become “synonymous with bloat” but only among a few folks who never listened to, liked, or knew about prog, mostly a few self-described “music critics.” And it’s a mistake to think that prog was singled out, there were a few prog bands that were selling a lot of records and selling out big arenas every year in the seventies. Those bands were ALL accused of “bloat” because they weren’t playing to half a room at CBGB like “unbloated” bands… )
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sounded like the little prelude to 'Roundabout' by Yes.
	4:59pm Polyus: I have not owned a copy of this record in so many years, maybe I will see if I can find it at the library this weekend.
	4:59pm Michael 98145: RIP, Alan White
	5:00pm djsheilab: Thanks LCBD!
	5:00pm tim from washington: I really want to get The Lamb Lies Down record. I'm off to go see my daughter in her first school play. Thank you, Sheila! Have a good weekend everybody!
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'People called it Prog instead of Psychedelic cause they didn't wanna admit they were still taking drugs!' - MickFarren
	5:02pm Handy Haversack: tim, the quest I've been waiting for!
	5:03pm Will in Norman: @rev rabbit my slightly tongue-in-cheek distinguisher between psych & prog is that with prog the musicians actually knew how to play their instruments well
	5:04pm P-90: So Yes and Genesis were accused of being bloated dinosaurs, because (here’s the Prog Fact for this week) they were both among the top ten ticket selling acts in North America year after year in the 70’s. along with Rilling Stones, Kiss, etc. ALL of those bands (even the Stones) were criticized at the time for not being someone’s idea of “authentic rock”.
	5:05pm Will in Norman: like stashu & her speedchanges in the middle of a song lol
	5:05pm Robm: @Sheliab that what makes this station so great, the djs are screwing things up
	5:06pm Will in Norman: @p-90 I feel you, I never understood Rolling Stone's (the magazine) contempt for Deep Purple
	5:06pm Kate D: Hi from New Orleans Sheila — you’re coming in hawt! Love Kate D
	5:07pm iiibeat: But what does the record SOUND like?? I would love to hear it or buy it . . Please.
	5:07pm Kate D: 1990 !!
	5:07pm Michael 98145: "Naughty And Saucy Song"
	5:08pm LCBD: Baghdad Café! Yes! Was thinking Paris, Texas. Must watch that movie again
	5:09pm U.K. Steve: My all time favourite DJ the late and truly,truly great mr John Peel was almost as famous for his ‘slip ups’ as for he’s incredibly eclectic and brilliant musical taste… And he was loved all the more for it
	5:10pm Yvang: 69 gems from the naughty and kinky chanson...
	5:10pm iiibeat: iiibeat@yahoo.com. Tell me how much. For the station, right?
	5:10pm Michael 98145: ( cute bear )
	5:10pm djsheilab: Thanks for sharing that, U.K. Steve! Makes me feel even better :)
	5:11pm djsheilab: Kate D! You're in New Orleans?!! How lovely!
	5:11pm P-90: So for those of you who think of Phil Collins as just the Sussudio guy, an annoying little lightweight from the 80’s who cluttered the radio and MTV with vapid pop, remember: before ANY of that he had a nearly decade-long career as one of the hottest, most respected drummers, and songwriter and backup singer in a band that released a best-selling album and did a massively successful tour year after year.
	5:12pm Kate D: Yes indeed… For work! As you broke into French I felt right at home. Got the AC on and listening to these fine tunes - namaste ❤️
	5:13pm djsheilab: Thank you for the translation, Yvang!
	5:14pm Yvang: Avec plaisir!
	5:15pm DjLorraine: LCBD yes Paris, Texas is an odd favorite of mine too
	5:16pm P-90: AND Phil accomplished what sounded nearly impossible: When Peter Gabriel left Genesis in the mid seventies, Phil took over as frontman and Genesis made two more albums that were every bit as worthy as the Gabriel albums, each accompanied by another immensely successful world tour. In fact I saw how audiences of fans who LOVED Gabriel warned right up to Phil’s singing and showmanship. A very rare thing to happen with any hugely successful group.
	5:18pm djsheilab: P-90—You tell 'em!
	5:19pm djsheilab: P-90—My favorite line: "Those bands were ALL accused of “bloat” because they weren’t playing to half a room at CBGB like “unbloated” bands… )"
	5:20pm heatherita: Beth Orton - so nice - have a great weekend everyone!
	5:20pm U.K. Steve: Oh my….I can feel the sophistication washing over me like warm ocean waves….
	5:22pm morphe': Thanks SoPhisBBMMM Shelia B .. and all !! must to the kitchen !!!!!!!!!
	5:22pm Michael 98145: Difficult to realize "She Cries Your Name" dates from 1996 ...
	5:23pm U.K. Steve: Just thinking that myself Michael 98145
	5:24pm U.K. Steve: She’s such a rare talent… Love Beth Orton but never heard this before Thank you Sheila…again
	5:25pm Bimbus Bambus: This album with Little Simz' are tied for my #1 spot of 2021
	5:29pm djsheilab: Bill Withers—what a songwriter.
	5:30pm Michael 98145: yes
	5:36pm P-90: Bill Withers: gets plenty of love but still underrated
	5:36pm Don F.: Beautiful selections, Shela B.! Eno, Badalamenti produced influence.
	5:37pm djsheilab: Thanks Don F.!
	5:37pm common: Sheila b., all
	5:40pm Vanessa Tara: gotta go! thanks again, sheila!
	5:40pm Rick from SC: Thanks for the great Friday vibes. I love that you’re now into prog.
	5:40pm djsheilab: Happy weekend, Vanessa T!
	5:40pm djsheilab: Rick from SC—I caught the bug!
	5:42pm Rick from SC: I’d hate to think what Ken would say about this topic
	5:43pm Carmichael: You're probably not ready for Ozric Tentacles yet, Sheila, but you're on your way!
	5:43pm Monica: thx for an afternoon of loveliness, sheila. the perfect soundtrack to ava t. cat's futile attempts to pounce at a pair of mourning doves thru the kitchen screen window.
	5:45pm LCBD: SheilaB, have you ever heard of a French singer called Patachou?
	5:45pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sheila B did you find any DiscoPolo yet? Boys "Wolnosc" is a good a place as any to find it...
	5:46pm Michael 98145: Gigolo and the Gigolette
	5:46pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, DJ Sheila
	5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Boom boom went the prog!
	5:48pm Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Was washing dishes listening and falling into the pleasant trance of this Fatima tune. Trying to get the foul taste out of my head of taking the little ones to the tawdry, overpriced local carnival, and then though that I’d like to get back to the Abby Martin podcast about LSD (a subject covered nicely in the Jon Savage book “1966”), which I thought my good friend from CZ who just visited would enjoy, particularly after she relayed an enjoyable trip she recently had. That tune seemed a perfect encapsulation of my thoughts then. Cool stuff as always, Sheila.
	5:49pm BH: there's a Diana Ross/Tame Impala collaboration that was released around 2 weeks ago that'll be on a Despicable Me/Minions movie so, if things break right, there might be a Diana Ross hit this summer?
	5:50pm steveo: doesn't everybody user their organ?
	5:50pm Carmichael: Watch it, steveo ...
	5:51pm Tom in Topanga: Big Electric Cat... With headphones, max volume :)
	5:51pm TroyD8: Her bass player Rozi Plain is really good too
	5:52pm _Ike_: To paraphrase Marge Simpson, this turned into a program about rough sex with organs so gradually I didn't even notice!
	5:52pm djsheilab: TroyD8—Yes! She surrounds herself with great talent.
	5:52pm Heidella: Another beautiful journey, thanks Sheila! Perfect way to start the weekend, enjoy the sunshine everyone!
	5:54pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Djsheilab: That prog book is pretty good. Oh man, though...the egos! Also, you should check out Belew's solo stuff, which is pretty pop-oriented. Also did stuff with Laurie Anderson.
	5:54pm TroyD8: Thanks for music Djsheilab! 😀
	5:54pm djsheilab: Thx for checking in, Monica + Ava!
	5:55pm katharsis: Thank you Sheila B and all
	5:55pm Clo: Thank you for the amazing music. I feel like I've starred everything. Have a great weekend.
	5:56pm Michael 98145: Another vote for Big Electric Cat www.youtube.com...
	5:56pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Favorite ELP record: Tarkus. Because who doesn't love an armadillo tank?!
	5:57pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Was listening on the portable radio while biking in the Bronx and Manhattan and got home not too long ago, so I wanted to check in and thank you as always for the music, and I hope you enjoy the weekend!
	5:58pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Michael 98145: Yes! His whole catalog went up on Bandcamp not too long ago. Fantastic.
