	3:03pm listener james from westwood: Howdy, Sheila and all!
	3:03pm djsheilab: Produced by Quincy Jones with the Herbie Hancock Orchestra. Not to be confused with Hermie Hancock, my new favorite Japanese internet cat : )
	3:04pm Cliff: modchick, it was 1976
	3:04pm JtotheK: good afternoon everyone.
	3:04pm The Contessa: Hi Sheila, thank God you're back!
	3:04pm modchick65: @JtotheK - I miss 1976.
	3:05pm statoj: Hi Sheilab. This is a soulful side of Leslie I have never heard!
	3:06pm βrian: Lord Buckley Bean still gets my internet cat vote.
	3:06pm geezerette: It's been loooooong overdue. :c)
	3:07pm Cliff: I missed 1976 by about a year and a half, I was born in July of 1978
	3:07pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, DJSB!
	3:07pm statoj: This Midlake singer has a little Ray Davies going on.
	3:07pm Alejandroool: this Midlake brings back some mid-2000 memories
	3:08pm djsheilab: @Brian Lord Buckley Bean sounds like a grand cat. I must look him up. @Cliff Glad you enjoyed the interview! @The Contessa Yay!
	3:08pm Baumer!: hey everyone!
	3:08pm djsheilab: SO Fleetwood Mac this one. I must remember to tell you a story about seeing Midlake live at Glastonbury.
	3:09pm Vitamin Pets: Bringing back so many memories with Roscoe...ugh! Yes!
	3:10pm Cliff: Sheila, I liked your outfit in the photo too, matches well with the music you play! ;)
	3:10pm annie: ok, i'm back
	3:11pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila & people!
	3:12pm P-90: Welcome back, Sheila! Always up to hear from/about Lesley Gore!
	3:13pm modchick65: There's an article/interview, @djsheilab?
	3:13pm βrian: Je sais que dat's right.
	3:14pm Cliff: modchick: acerecords.co.uk...
	3:20pm modchick65: Thank you for the link, @Cliff. I will check it out!
	3:21pm geezerette: Paisley Gore!
	3:21pm bobdoesthings: good afternoon.
	3:21pm Adrian in London: Hi Sheila, welcome back. And hello to all sophisticates.
	3:22pm modchick65: Lush, nice! My fave Lush album. @djsheilab... I'm reading this article, and I remember the days of hanging out in libraries reading Melody Maker, too. :) Spent a lot of time that way. The pre-Internet days were quaint... but nice.
	3:23pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, this Lush track!
	3:23pm Lewis: greetings Sheila - like this Lush track had me thinking b52s there at the beginning...
	3:24pm Cliff: LUSH!!!!
	3:24pm The Contessa: Love Lesley's hair on that cover! By the way @Sheila and Bowie fans, did you see this bit of fabulousness? www.telegraph.co.uk...
	3:25pm Lewis: now that is a segue I did not see coming - LHR are always appreciated!
	3:25pm βrian: This is National Drink Wine Month, you know ...
	3:27pm Uncle Michael: Sheila, is your playlist set to "live?" I'm not getting track information on my device.
	3:27pm Cliff: Had a glass of red wine for lunch, went well with the purple risotto (made with same)
	3:28pm djsheilab: @Uncle Michael It is indeed. Hmmm....wonder why it's not working on your device? Anyone else having this problem?
	3:28pm Todd-o-phonic: Not positive, but this might be first time Lush, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross and The Kittens were played in sequential order.
	3:29pm Michael in Seattle: your playlist is making it's way to up here in the upper left corner
	3:30pm listener james from westwood: The app sez Your DJ Speaks but has the track listing when you hit the playlist button.
	3:31pm Cliff: Just don't try driving 75 M.P.H. while on the legal marijuana
	3:31pm listener james from westwood: Love "Sleeper"! Can't imagine actually seeing the house in real life. I'd likely drive off the road while gawking!
	3:32pm βrian: Bloody song for bloody burger, eh?
	3:32pm chris: hoyd
	3:33pm geezerette: @Todd-o-phonic Yes this is what makes WFMU so special and addictive. All you brilliant DJs and enthusiastic, engaged listeners.
	3:33pm annie: hey wait!! stop whining! i LOVE that cover!
	3:33pm modchick65: No song should be 15 minutes long. Especially a CCR song.
	3:33pm Eric: you can buy an "orgasmatron" here: http://www.orgonics.com/orders.htm
	3:34pm 67tele: i hoid ya about that creedence...
	3:36pm Cliff: Waah waaah
	3:38pm annie: Inna Gadda Da Vida, yo.. 17 minutes-ish
	3:39pm JasonInBoston: This Lesley Gore track is NICE! Hi Sheila! Looking forward to our awesome gig in May!
	3:39pm P-90: I was luckier than I knew, my Dad was in the music business and we had Melody Maker, Variety, Rave, RPM, and lots of other music "trade publications" around the house.
	3:39pm Cliff: Jethro Tull "Thick as a Brick" - 45-ish minutes
	3:39pm statoj: I remember the Sleeper house from around the late '70s. Then every time I visited Colorado every decade or so, there were more and more condos crowding the mountainside. Cool house though.
	3:42pm Bill: UFO On Hour Space Rock, 1 hour-ish
	3:43pm P-90: I'm just glad to hear the "Sleeper" house has been preserved, crowded hillside or not. So many important houses have not.
	3:43pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, my guess that this was Nena was right. Look out, Trebek!
	3:44pm Adrian in London: Oh, this Nena song's not bad. 99 Luftballons was used in the excellent TV series Deutschland 83, which I heartily recommend.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Hey @Jason in Boston! And to all just tuning in! And to all Creedence Clearwater Revival fans!
	3:45pm Guido from Cologne: never relly could make sense of the lyrics this record had endless airply at it's time
	3:45pm bobdoesthings: needed that sax!
	3:46pm Adrian in London: Ah, but then the saxophone started...
	3:46pm statoj: P-90, well yes, but when it was the only house on the hill, it really did look like a spaceship had just landed. We used to call it "the clamshell."
	3:46pm JasonInBoston: Love a handful of tunes by CCR like "Born on the Bayou" (also very long but good. I agree that their version of "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" is pure torture and never needed to happen.
	3:47pm djsheilab: I know that sax was too much! @Adrian in London
	3:47pm βrian: Who needs sax when there's the Orgasmatron??
	3:48pm JasonInBoston: Adrian-remember that was an 80s song, so it either needs a daytime talkshow themed sax break or a corporate cock-rock guitar break.
	3:48pm Guido from Cologne: ... yes 1980ies mainstream saxes ... grrrrrrr
	3:49pm P-90: The web says Nena's last solo album was just last year, and while there were no hit singles, the album went top five in Germany, top ten in Austria. I'm gonna have to check that one out.
	3:49pm modchick65: The Revillos. Not to be confused with the Rezillos, which is a mistake I often make.
	3:49pm Cliff: Loving this version of Tell Him
	3:50pm Carmichael: Tell Him, the Bert Berns song? Hiya Sheila & boomers.
	3:52pm Adrian in London: Quite right, Jason. Or syn-drums. Booo-boooo!!!
	3:54pm Guido from Cologne: my absolute fave on Doris' album is "You Never Come Closer"
	3:55pm listener james from westwood: Clicky star for "All About Us." Fun tune!
	3:58pm Cooh John: Oooh. I'll swoon if I want to.
	3:58pm modchick65: DUSTY. Also love the Blow Monkeys' version of this.
	4:01pm Parq: The Dusty is sort of the answer song to "Wishin' and Hopin'", yeh?
	4:01pm sugarwolf: Hello Love that Lush song from earlier...
	4:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Came for the sophistication. Stayed for the boom boom.
	4:04pm βrian: Casual Sax Friday?
	4:05pm βrian: I'll always associate Lesley Gore with the election of Ronnie Reagan.
	4:07pm Summer and Michael: We love that you're doing this Leslie Gore tribute, Sheila! Can we just say that "What Am I Gonna Do With You?" is one of our faves?! Again, loving this - thank you!
	4:11pm annie: hallway of hell
	4:12pm listener james from westwood: Working so far on this end!
	4:13pm annie: i can sense she has so much she wants to talk about and it is all jumbled up ... so much to say, not enough time. i like that you switched to talking about the album
	4:14pm P-90: Her vocal tone on this is SO sweet and bell-like!
	4:15pm listener james from westwood: Oh, hell yes to hearing the songs as we go!
	4:16pm P-90: The iconic double-tracked sound here
	4:18pm JasonInBoston: Sounds like Peggy Santiglia and the girls on backup. Can you confirm Sheila?
	4:20pm modchick65: I love that there's a story to the boy in the picture.
	4:22pm ?: Wow, thanks so much for airing this well-thought-out interview. I'm really enjoying it !
	4:27pm windy city: great interview on the creative process....FANTASTIC
	4:29pm sugarwolf: I appreciate the use of the subjunctive in this song.
	4:30pm Cliff: It was 1965, people still liked to use the subjunctive back then
	4:33pm Swan_Gone: Wow!
	4:34pm SeanG: smokin'
	4:34pm frenchee: what Swan_Gone said!
	4:34pm modchick65: WOW.
	4:34pm Cliff: Lesley Gore covering AC/DC, mind BLOWN
	4:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Really turns Dirty Deeds into a great party song.
	4:34pm TDK60: C'mon Lesley, air guitar solo.
	4:35pm frenchee: yes, dig that crazy organ !
	4:35pm annie: omg, you can smell the blues underlying this
	4:36pm foofs: It's My Cheap and I'll Dirty If I Want To!
	4:37pm Cliff: Xenon, Xemu, same difference
	4:37pm modchick65: Lesley Gore seems really cool. RIP, you fabulous lady.
	4:38pm P-90: Hope she says something about doing the "Batman" TV show... actually, there's SO much she could talk about. I really want to hear what she has to say about working with Bob Crewe...
	4:38pm modchick65: WAIT. SHE'S WORKING WITH A GRINDCORE BAND???
	4:38pm Swan_Gone: ^ Yeah a what now?
	4:39pm Brendan: Hi just tuned in. Are you guys broadcasting from the bathroom or something?
	4:39pm modchick65: Ha... I just spent several moments trying to figure out where that beep came from, because it wasn't my phone (I looked) and I'm wearing headphones. #confusion
	4:40pm Cliff: Brendan, it's an interview Sheila B. recorded with Lesley Gore
	4:41pm modchick65: "You Don't Own Me" is one of the best songs ever. Seriously.
	4:41pm listener james from westwood: I wonder if she ever heard Klaus Nomi's cover of this?
	4:41pm TDK60: Wow, didn't know she died a few days ago. Lots of musicians passing recently.
	4:42pm Baumer!: Love this track. Maybe even more than Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows.
	4:42pm Brendan: Cool! I just missed the AC/DC cover! Not cool damn
	4:42pm Carmichael: Johnny Madera, who co-wrote this, also wrote At the Hop and 1-2-3 for Len Barry.
	4:42pm Cliff: TDK60, it was last year actually
	4:43pm rascal yammers: That Voice!!!
	4:43pm foofs: This is the best musician interview I've heard in years. They're usually about as enlightening as sports chat.
	4:43pm TDK60: Cliff: Thanks.
	4:44pm Cliff: No problem....I'm still a little broken up over David Bowie being gone
	4:45pm P-90: The You Don't Own Me single would have been a #1, but got stuck at #2 for three weeks behind I Wanna Hold Your Hand in 1963. Those darned Moptops!
	4:46pm annie: i would actually never have chosen to pick an interview to listen to...... i am SO glad i heard this. sheila, you rock.
	4:47pm northguineahills: Did Trouble do an interview w/ Lesley Gore awhile back? Maybe it was just a tribute.
	4:48pm Carmichael: I did hear another interview on FMU. I think it was Dave the Spazz who did a massive tribute.
	4:49pm modchick65: Omg, I LOVE Ellie Greenwich. She's my favorite.
	4:50pm Nigel in LIC: Yeah, Annie, this is terrific. What a tour de force Leslie was. Grew up hearing her on 60's radio in UK - great interview really allowing the subject to do the talking !
	4:51pm P-90: Bella Abzug, a titanic historical figure whose name seems unjustly, cruelly forgotten these days (outside of New York)
	4:51pm Carmichael: I just finished the Bert Berns bio. All of this stuff is in there, in great detail. Berns worked in the Brill Building for most of his short life.
	4:52pm Cliff: We need women in all male-dominated fields, to provide some balance and perspective
	4:53pm rascal yammers: So cool to hear her stories... thanks!!
	4:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dave the Spazz archive with Leslie Gore tribute from 2/19/2015 - www.wfmu.org...
	4:55pm annie: this is a woman with whom i could have a long lingering lunch...
	4:57pm foofs: @Carmichael Is there anything in there about Van Moz and 'Blowing Your Mind'?
	4:58pm Adrian in London: The Apple text notification keeps throwing me. The sound's coming out of my speakers but my phone is in my hand and it's not vibrating and I'm confused!
	4:59pm MONEYBAG$: I couldn't make it more than 1/4 way through that Bert Berns book
	4:59pm Cliff: It's not bugging me because I set mine to the classic Mac "eeep?!" sound :)
	5:01pm Cliff: Wow, what a series of coincidences!
	5:02pm P-90: WMCA! AM! "The Good Guys"!
	5:02pm Nigel in LIC: yeah, a Triple Play !!!
	5:03pm Cliff: Excellent interview Sheila!
	5:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Glen Jones interview of Leslie Gore on Jonesville Station 8/8/2005 in the days before playlists - www.wfmu.org...
	5:04pm annie: i will never hear her music in the way again..
	5:06pm djsheilab: @Annie that means so much to me. That's exactly why I'm airing this interview. It completely changed how I felt about her + her songs as well.
	5:07pm slocker: love her so much -- it's a great interview. Thanks for playing! I do not mind the "non radio" quality one bit. Not even noticing, really.
	5:07pm northguineahills: I believe there were playlists back in '05, but there wasn't a comments section. (I remember perusing playlists back before 2000 online before I moved here). Glen Jones still doesn't use a playlist the last I time I checked.
	5:09pm Marcel M: Woah woah whats happening here? Hello all.
	5:10pm Cliff: Lesley Gore interview from Sheila B.!
	5:11pm Marcel M: It was a rhetorical question, but thanks Cliff ;-)
	5:11pm sugarwolf: Looooooooooooooove What Am I Gonna Do With You
	5:12pm Cliff: Haha, sorry for being too literal Marcel :)
	5:12pm Michael in Seattle: Thank you for letting us hear that, Sheila.
	5:12pm P-90: THANKS Sheila B! But: I KNOW there's more of this, please promise there will be a Part 2 sometime?
	5:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, ngh. I didn't mean to distract from today's show. I figure people in the future will come across this playlist and have some leads to more Leslie Gore happenings. This show today is pretty sensational! Thanks, Sheila.
	5:14pm listener james from westwood: Perfect timing, as I'm about to head out to the car! Excellent interview and you were both delightful!
	5:14pm Gaylord Fields: "Lesley Gore Sings for Girls in Love" — and don't you forget it! Sorry I missed most of the show.
	5:14pm Marcel M: @Cliff: hehe no worries. What a cutie she was!
	5:14pm Bryce: oh my GOD, that was so incredibly. THANK YOU!!
	5:15pm Cliff: Very insightful interview, Sheila, thank you!! And thank you so much Lesley Gore, R.I.P.
	5:15pm Guido from Cologne: Highly valuable interview! Thanks for sharing it with us!
	5:16pm JasonInBoston: MAYBE I KNOW-MY FAVORITE! Then Wonder Boy, Look of Love, California Nights. Just love her! The interview was so awesome and made me a little emotional.
	5:17pm KP: That was really something, Sheila. THanks
	5:17pm Cliff: I forgot to add: <3 <3 <3
	5:21pm TDK60: Interesting interview. I salute Lesley Gore as a musician and feminist.
	5:22pm Nigel in LIC: sounded like the great Eartha Kitt joining Leslie on When Yesterday Was Tomorrow and shades of Shirley Bassey's sound on Bond theme for Golfinger ... all great contemporaries !
	5:25pm chalmers: Thanks for an illuminating portrait of a Bergen County legend.
	5:29pm P-90: Brava! Great interview and great singles accompaniment. Personally, I liked the cell phone alerts, squeaky chair sounds, boxy room tone, etc. But maybe I'm weird that way...
	5:31pm Cliff: It made it all more lo-fi and personable
	5:32pm annie: i'm still in awe at that interview.. i think the electronic interferences were actually quite a great touch; a subliminal suggestion she had gone head-long into her future and embraced all its forms.
	5:32pm Todd-o-phonic: Wish Creedence had done this one too.
	5:33pm annie: right??!!!!
	5:33pm Cliff: Stretched out for 15 minutes?
	5:33pm djsheilab: Thank you all! I was a bit nervous about airing this + all your kind comments put me at ease. @P-90 there really isn't much I took out. Maybe 10 minutes and definitely the least interesting 10 minutes. I promise!
	5:34pm Cliff: I had to go to Rite-Aid earlier, and was subjected to The Eagles over the PA system. But it was only for 5 minutes.
	5:36pm Cliff: Good job with the editing and playing the singles along with it, Sheila!
	5:36pm Todd-o-phonic: Between today and the shows KFHP mentioned WFMU certainly has the market cornered on great Lesley Gore shows!
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That was a treat & a privilege. & - what records obviously. Always loved 'Maybe I Know' especially...
	5:38pm Cliff: What language is Emel Mathlouthi singing in? I'm liking this a whole lot <3
	5:42pm Swan_Gone: God bless the Misfits!
	5:43pm Cliff: Ok, fine, I'll ask our digital overlord Google....looks like she sings in (Tunisian) Arabic
	5:43pm sugarwolf: Peanut Duck!!
	5:44pm Guido from Cologne: Anything else known about Peanut Duck?
	5:46pm Brendan: Mother Duck this is bumpin
	5:47pm Carmichael: @foofs: yes, there's a chapter or 2 about Here Comes the Night (the bio title, btw) and Them.
	5:52pm goat friend: Missed this jam
	5:52pm Cliff: Wow, brings me back to middle school
	5:53pm northguineahills: me too, Cliff!
	5:54pm P-90: There's never been a bad version of "Love Child"
	5:54pm Adrian in London: Saying goodbye from both of us. Will listen to that Teen track again as soon as the show's over. x
	5:55pm Cliff: Awesome show today Sheila!!! <3 <3 <3
	5:56pm Carmichael: Peanut Duck info: dangerousminds.net...
	5:56pm annie: <3
	5:57pm Guido from Cologne: Thank you sheila and CU next time!
	5:57pm P-90: Thanks again, Sheila! Welcome Home XXX OOO!
	5:58pm Brendan: Thank you!!!
	5:58pm djsheilab: Thank you alll!!!!!!!!!!
	7:17pm wheatdog: Ok what is going on! Is Bill Jam remixing f our stories? Shut up weirdo remix compilation please!
	10:49pm JakeGould: Late comment due to a new day job but… So you got a problem with Creedence Clearwater Revival singing “Hoid it Through the Grapevahine?” Well, I never.
	4:22am JackieG8991: I love this so much! Shelia just cut down the 'When Yesterday Was Tomorrow" Shorter :(

	3:03pm modchick65: Wow, Lesley Gore. That's... quite... an album cover!
	3:03pm listener james from westwood: Howdy, Sheila and all!
	3:03pm djsheilab: Produced by Quincy Jones with the Herbie Hancock Orchestra. Not to be confused with Hermie Hancock, my new favorite Japanese internet cat : )
	3:04pm Cliff: modchick, it was 1976
	3:04pm JtotheK: good afternoon everyone.
	3:04pm The Contessa: Hi Sheila, thank God you're back!
	3:04pm modchick65: @JtotheK - I miss 1976.
	3:05pm statoj: Hi Sheilab. This is a soulful side of Leslie I have never heard!
	3:06pm βrian: Lord Buckley Bean still gets my internet cat vote.
	3:06pm geezerette: It's been loooooong overdue. :c)
	3:07pm Cliff: I missed 1976 by about a year and a half, I was born in July of 1978
	3:07pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, DJSB!
	3:07pm statoj: This Midlake singer has a little Ray Davies going on.
	3:07pm Alejandroool: this Midlake brings back some mid-2000 memories
	3:08pm djsheilab: @Brian Lord Buckley Bean sounds like a grand cat. I must look him up. @Cliff Glad you enjoyed the interview! @The Contessa Yay!
	3:08pm Baumer!: hey everyone!
	3:08pm djsheilab: SO Fleetwood Mac this one. I must remember to tell you a story about seeing Midlake live at Glastonbury.
	3:09pm Vitamin Pets: Bringing back so many memories with Roscoe...ugh! Yes!
	3:10pm Cliff: Sheila, I liked your outfit in the photo too, matches well with the music you play! ;)
	3:10pm annie: ok, i'm back
	3:11pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Sheila & people!
	3:12pm P-90: Welcome back, Sheila! Always up to hear from/about Lesley Gore!
	3:13pm modchick65: There's an article/interview, @djsheilab?
	3:13pm βrian: Je sais que dat's right.
	3:14pm Cliff: modchick: acerecords.co.uk...
	3:20pm modchick65: Thank you for the link, @Cliff. I will check it out!
	3:21pm geezerette: Paisley Gore!
	3:21pm bobdoesthings: good afternoon.
	3:21pm Adrian in London: Hi Sheila, welcome back. And hello to all sophisticates.
	3:22pm modchick65: Lush, nice! My fave Lush album. @djsheilab... I'm reading this article, and I remember the days of hanging out in libraries reading Melody Maker, too. :) Spent a lot of time that way. The pre-Internet days were quaint... but nice.
	3:23pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, this Lush track!
	3:23pm Lewis: greetings Sheila - like this Lush track had me thinking b52s there at the beginning...
	3:24pm Cliff: LUSH!!!!
	3:24pm The Contessa: Love Lesley's hair on that cover! By the way @Sheila and Bowie fans, did you see this bit of fabulousness? www.telegraph.co.uk...
	3:25pm Lewis: now that is a segue I did not see coming - LHR are always appreciated!
	3:25pm βrian: This is National Drink Wine Month, you know ...
	3:27pm Uncle Michael: Sheila, is your playlist set to "live?" I'm not getting track information on my device.
	3:27pm Cliff: Had a glass of red wine for lunch, went well with the purple risotto (made with same)
	3:28pm djsheilab: @Uncle Michael It is indeed. Hmmm....wonder why it's not working on your device? Anyone else having this problem?
	3:28pm Todd-o-phonic: Not positive, but this might be first time Lush, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross and The Kittens were played in sequential order.
	3:29pm Michael in Seattle: your playlist is making it's way to up here in the upper left corner
	3:30pm listener james from westwood: The app sez Your DJ Speaks but has the track listing when you hit the playlist button.
	3:31pm Cliff: Just don't try driving 75 M.P.H. while on the legal marijuana
	3:31pm listener james from westwood: Love "Sleeper"! Can't imagine actually seeing the house in real life. I'd likely drive off the road while gawking!
	3:32pm βrian: Bloody song for bloody burger, eh?
	3:32pm chris: hoyd
	3:33pm geezerette: @Todd-o-phonic Yes this is what makes WFMU so special and addictive. All you brilliant DJs and enthusiastic, engaged listeners.
	3:33pm annie: hey wait!! stop whining! i LOVE that cover!
	3:33pm modchick65: No song should be 15 minutes long. Especially a CCR song.
	3:33pm Eric: you can buy an "orgasmatron" here: http://www.orgonics.com/orders.htm
	3:34pm 67tele: i hoid ya about that creedence...
	3:36pm Cliff: Waah waaah
	3:38pm annie: Inna Gadda Da Vida, yo.. 17 minutes-ish
	3:39pm JasonInBoston: This Lesley Gore track is NICE! Hi Sheila! Looking forward to our awesome gig in May!
	3:39pm P-90: I was luckier than I knew, my Dad was in the music business and we had Melody Maker, Variety, Rave, RPM, and lots of other music "trade publications" around the house.
	3:39pm Cliff: Jethro Tull "Thick as a Brick" - 45-ish minutes
	3:39pm statoj: I remember the Sleeper house from around the late '70s. Then every time I visited Colorado every decade or so, there were more and more condos crowding the mountainside. Cool house though.
	3:42pm Bill: UFO On Hour Space Rock, 1 hour-ish
	3:43pm P-90: I'm just glad to hear the "Sleeper" house has been preserved, crowded hillside or not. So many important houses have not.
	3:43pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, my guess that this was Nena was right. Look out, Trebek!
	3:44pm Adrian in London: Oh, this Nena song's not bad. 99 Luftballons was used in the excellent TV series Deutschland 83, which I heartily recommend.
	3:45pm djsheilab: Hey @Jason in Boston! And to all just tuning in! And to all Creedence Clearwater Revival fans!
	3:45pm Guido from Cologne: never relly could make sense of the lyrics this record had endless airply at it's time
	3:45pm bobdoesthings: needed that sax!
	3:46pm Adrian in London: Ah, but then the saxophone started...
	3:46pm statoj: P-90, well yes, but when it was the only house on the hill, it really did look like a spaceship had just landed. We used to call it "the clamshell."
	3:46pm JasonInBoston: Love a handful of tunes by CCR like "Born on the Bayou" (also very long but good. I agree that their version of "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" is pure torture and never needed to happen.
	3:47pm djsheilab: I know that sax was too much! @Adrian in London
	3:47pm βrian: Who needs sax when there's the Orgasmatron??
	3:48pm JasonInBoston: Adrian-remember that was an 80s song, so it either needs a daytime talkshow themed sax break or a corporate cock-rock guitar break.
	3:48pm Guido from Cologne: ... yes 1980ies mainstream saxes ... grrrrrrr
	3:49pm P-90: The web says Nena's last solo album was just last year, and while there were no hit singles, the album went top five in Germany, top ten in Austria. I'm gonna have to check that one out.
	3:49pm modchick65: The Revillos. Not to be confused with the Rezillos, which is a mistake I often make.
	3:49pm Cliff: Loving this version of Tell Him
	3:50pm Carmichael: Tell Him, the Bert Berns song? Hiya Sheila & boomers.
	3:52pm Adrian in London: Quite right, Jason. Or syn-drums. Booo-boooo!!!
	3:54pm Guido from Cologne: my absolute fave on Doris' album is "You Never Come Closer"
	3:55pm listener james from westwood: Clicky star for "All About Us." Fun tune!
	3:58pm Cooh John: Oooh. I'll swoon if I want to.
	3:58pm modchick65: DUSTY. Also love the Blow Monkeys' version of this.
	4:01pm Parq: The Dusty is sort of the answer song to "Wishin' and Hopin'", yeh?
	4:01pm sugarwolf: Hello Love that Lush song from earlier...
	4:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Came for the sophistication. Stayed for the boom boom.
	4:04pm βrian: Casual Sax Friday?
	4:05pm βrian: I'll always associate Lesley Gore with the election of Ronnie Reagan.
	4:07pm Summer and Michael: We love that you're doing this Leslie Gore tribute, Sheila! Can we just say that "What Am I Gonna Do With You?" is one of our faves?! Again, loving this - thank you!
	4:11pm annie: hallway of hell
	4:12pm listener james from westwood: Working so far on this end!
	4:13pm annie: i can sense she has so much she wants to talk about and it is all jumbled up ... so much to say, not enough time. i like that you switched to talking about the album
	4:14pm P-90: Her vocal tone on this is SO sweet and bell-like!
	4:15pm listener james from westwood: Oh, hell yes to hearing the songs as we go!
	4:16pm P-90: The iconic double-tracked sound here
	4:18pm JasonInBoston: Sounds like Peggy Santiglia and the girls on backup. Can you confirm Sheila?
	4:20pm modchick65: I love that there's a story to the boy in the picture.
	4:22pm ?: Wow, thanks so much for airing this well-thought-out interview. I'm really enjoying it !
	4:27pm windy city: great interview on the creative process....FANTASTIC
	4:29pm sugarwolf: I appreciate the use of the subjunctive in this song.
	4:30pm Cliff: It was 1965, people still liked to use the subjunctive back then
	4:33pm Swan_Gone: Wow!
	4:34pm SeanG: smokin'
	4:34pm frenchee: what Swan_Gone said!
	4:34pm modchick65: WOW.
	4:34pm Cliff: Lesley Gore covering AC/DC, mind BLOWN
	4:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Really turns Dirty Deeds into a great party song.
	4:34pm TDK60: C'mon Lesley, air guitar solo.
	4:35pm frenchee: yes, dig that crazy organ !
	4:35pm annie: omg, you can smell the blues underlying this
	4:36pm foofs: It's My Cheap and I'll Dirty If I Want To!
	4:37pm Cliff: Xenon, Xemu, same difference
	4:37pm modchick65: Lesley Gore seems really cool. RIP, you fabulous lady.
	4:38pm P-90: Hope she says something about doing the "Batman" TV show... actually, there's SO much she could talk about. I really want to hear what she has to say about working with Bob Crewe...
	4:38pm modchick65: WAIT. SHE'S WORKING WITH A GRINDCORE BAND???
	4:38pm Swan_Gone: ^ Yeah a what now?
	4:39pm Brendan: Hi just tuned in. Are you guys broadcasting from the bathroom or something?
	4:39pm modchick65: Ha... I just spent several moments trying to figure out where that beep came from, because it wasn't my phone (I looked) and I'm wearing headphones. #confusion
	4:40pm Cliff: Brendan, it's an interview Sheila B. recorded with Lesley Gore
	4:41pm modchick65: "You Don't Own Me" is one of the best songs ever. Seriously.
	4:41pm listener james from westwood: I wonder if she ever heard Klaus Nomi's cover of this?
	4:41pm TDK60: Wow, didn't know she died a few days ago. Lots of musicians passing recently.
	4:42pm Baumer!: Love this track. Maybe even more than Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows.
	4:42pm Brendan: Cool! I just missed the AC/DC cover! Not cool damn
	4:42pm Carmichael: Johnny Madera, who co-wrote this, also wrote At the Hop and 1-2-3 for Len Barry.
	4:42pm Cliff: TDK60, it was last year actually
	4:43pm rascal yammers: That Voice!!!
	4:43pm foofs: This is the best musician interview I've heard in years. They're usually about as enlightening as sports chat.
	4:43pm TDK60: Cliff: Thanks.
	4:44pm Cliff: No problem....I'm still a little broken up over David Bowie being gone
	4:45pm P-90: The You Don't Own Me single would have been a #1, but got stuck at #2 for three weeks behind I Wanna Hold Your Hand in 1963. Those darned Moptops!
	4:46pm annie: i would actually never have chosen to pick an interview to listen to...... i am SO glad i heard this. sheila, you rock.
	4:47pm northguineahills: Did Trouble do an interview w/ Lesley Gore awhile back? Maybe it was just a tribute.
	4:48pm Carmichael: I did hear another interview on FMU. I think it was Dave the Spazz who did a massive tribute.
	4:49pm modchick65: Omg, I LOVE Ellie Greenwich. She's my favorite.
	4:50pm Nigel in LIC: Yeah, Annie, this is terrific. What a tour de force Leslie was. Grew up hearing her on 60's radio in UK - great interview really allowing the subject to do the talking !
	4:51pm P-90: Bella Abzug, a titanic historical figure whose name seems unjustly, cruelly forgotten these days (outside of New York)
	4:51pm Carmichael: I just finished the Bert Berns bio. All of this stuff is in there, in great detail. Berns worked in the Brill Building for most of his short life.
	4:52pm Cliff: We need women in all male-dominated fields, to provide some balance and perspective
	4:53pm rascal yammers: So cool to hear her stories... thanks!!
	4:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dave the Spazz archive with Leslie Gore tribute from 2/19/2015 - www.wfmu.org...
	4:55pm annie: this is a woman with whom i could have a long lingering lunch...
	4:57pm foofs: @Carmichael Is there anything in there about Van Moz and 'Blowing Your Mind'?
	4:58pm Adrian in London: The Apple text notification keeps throwing me. The sound's coming out of my speakers but my phone is in my hand and it's not vibrating and I'm confused!
	4:59pm MONEYBAG$: I couldn't make it more than 1/4 way through that Bert Berns book
	4:59pm Cliff: It's not bugging me because I set mine to the classic Mac "eeep?!" sound :)
	5:01pm Cliff: Wow, what a series of coincidences!
	5:02pm P-90: WMCA! AM! "The Good Guys"!
	5:02pm Nigel in LIC: yeah, a Triple Play !!!
	5:03pm Cliff: Excellent interview Sheila!
	5:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Glen Jones interview of Leslie Gore on Jonesville Station 8/8/2005 in the days before playlists - www.wfmu.org...
	5:04pm annie: i will never hear her music in the way again..
	5:06pm djsheilab: @Annie that means so much to me. That's exactly why I'm airing this interview. It completely changed how I felt about her + her songs as well.
	5:07pm slocker: love her so much -- it's a great interview. Thanks for playing! I do not mind the "non radio" quality one bit. Not even noticing, really.
	5:07pm northguineahills: I believe there were playlists back in '05, but there wasn't a comments section. (I remember perusing playlists back before 2000 online before I moved here). Glen Jones still doesn't use a playlist the last I time I checked.
	5:09pm Marcel M: Woah woah whats happening here? Hello all.
	5:10pm Cliff: Lesley Gore interview from Sheila B.!
	5:11pm Marcel M: It was a rhetorical question, but thanks Cliff ;-)
	5:11pm sugarwolf: Looooooooooooooove What Am I Gonna Do With You
	5:12pm Cliff: Haha, sorry for being too literal Marcel :)
	5:12pm Michael in Seattle: Thank you for letting us hear that, Sheila.
	5:12pm P-90: THANKS Sheila B! But: I KNOW there's more of this, please promise there will be a Part 2 sometime?
	5:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, ngh. I didn't mean to distract from today's show. I figure people in the future will come across this playlist and have some leads to more Leslie Gore happenings. This show today is pretty sensational! Thanks, Sheila.
	5:14pm listener james from westwood: Perfect timing, as I'm about to head out to the car! Excellent interview and you were both delightful!
	5:14pm Gaylord Fields: "Lesley Gore Sings for Girls in Love" — and don't you forget it! Sorry I missed most of the show.
	5:14pm Marcel M: @Cliff: hehe no worries. What a cutie she was!
	5:14pm Bryce: oh my GOD, that was so incredibly. THANK YOU!!
	5:15pm Cliff: Very insightful interview, Sheila, thank you!! And thank you so much Lesley Gore, R.I.P.
	5:15pm Guido from Cologne: Highly valuable interview! Thanks for sharing it with us!
	5:16pm JasonInBoston: MAYBE I KNOW-MY FAVORITE! Then Wonder Boy, Look of Love, California Nights. Just love her! The interview was so awesome and made me a little emotional.
	5:17pm KP: That was really something, Sheila. THanks
	5:17pm Cliff: I forgot to add: <3 <3 <3
	5:21pm TDK60: Interesting interview. I salute Lesley Gore as a musician and feminist.
	5:22pm Nigel in LIC: sounded like the great Eartha Kitt joining Leslie on When Yesterday Was Tomorrow and shades of Shirley Bassey's sound on Bond theme for Golfinger ... all great contemporaries !
	5:25pm chalmers: Thanks for an illuminating portrait of a Bergen County legend.
	5:29pm P-90: Brava! Great interview and great singles accompaniment. Personally, I liked the cell phone alerts, squeaky chair sounds, boxy room tone, etc. But maybe I'm weird that way...
	5:31pm Cliff: It made it all more lo-fi and personable
	5:32pm annie: i'm still in awe at that interview.. i think the electronic interferences were actually quite a great touch; a subliminal suggestion she had gone head-long into her future and embraced all its forms.
	5:32pm Todd-o-phonic: Wish Creedence had done this one too.
	5:33pm annie: right??!!!!
	5:33pm Cliff: Stretched out for 15 minutes?
	5:33pm djsheilab: Thank you all! I was a bit nervous about airing this + all your kind comments put me at ease. @P-90 there really isn't much I took out. Maybe 10 minutes and definitely the least interesting 10 minutes. I promise!
	5:34pm Cliff: I had to go to Rite-Aid earlier, and was subjected to The Eagles over the PA system. But it was only for 5 minutes.
	5:36pm Cliff: Good job with the editing and playing the singles along with it, Sheila!
	5:36pm Todd-o-phonic: Between today and the shows KFHP mentioned WFMU certainly has the market cornered on great Lesley Gore shows!
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That was a treat & a privilege. & - what records obviously. Always loved 'Maybe I Know' especially...
	5:38pm Cliff: What language is Emel Mathlouthi singing in? I'm liking this a whole lot <3
	5:42pm Swan_Gone: God bless the Misfits!
	5:43pm Cliff: Ok, fine, I'll ask our digital overlord Google....looks like she sings in (Tunisian) Arabic
	5:43pm sugarwolf: Peanut Duck!!
	5:44pm Guido from Cologne: Anything else known about Peanut Duck?
	5:46pm Brendan: Mother Duck this is bumpin
	5:47pm Carmichael: @foofs: yes, there's a chapter or 2 about Here Comes the Night (the bio title, btw) and Them.
	5:52pm goat friend: Missed this jam
	5:52pm Cliff: Wow, brings me back to middle school
	5:53pm northguineahills: me too, Cliff!
	5:54pm P-90: There's never been a bad version of "Love Child"
	5:54pm Adrian in London: Saying goodbye from both of us. Will listen to that Teen track again as soon as the show's over. x
	5:55pm Cliff: Awesome show today Sheila!!! <3 <3 <3
	5:56pm Carmichael: Peanut Duck info: dangerousminds.net...
	5:56pm annie: <3
	5:57pm Guido from Cologne: Thank you sheila and CU next time!
	5:57pm P-90: Thanks again, Sheila! Welcome Home XXX OOO!
	5:58pm Brendan: Thank you!!!
	5:58pm djsheilab: Thank you alll!!!!!!!!!!
	7:17pm wheatdog: Ok what is going on! Is Bill Jam remixing f our stories? Shut up weirdo remix compilation please!
	10:49pm JakeGould: Late comment due to a new day job but… So you got a problem with Creedence Clearwater Revival singing “Hoid it Through the Grapevahine?” Well, I never.
	4:22am JackieG8991: I love this so much! Shelia just cut down the 'When Yesterday Was Tomorrow" Shorter :(
