	9:25pm Bronwyn Bishop: Irene, your show is my favorite on FMU because it soothes my savage breast. I just moved to NYC and started a new job and it's been a little rough but these lovely sounds have helped lift my spirits!
	9:28pm Van in DC: Luncinda still qualifies this set as a nominee :)
	9:30pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Van! Maybe I'll get to Meg or Sharon later. We have a live set coming up from Sugar Ponies first. Bronwyn, good luck with your new adventures in NYC. It's a big step but I hope the music helps. And Hello to you, KP & Rev. Rabbit!

	9:57pm Irene Trudel: Yes, oops, caught me! I missed an edit! THis was recorded in July, and I guess I got distracted listening back to it. It's easy to fall into her voice. I'll play a couple of their full band recordings shortly.

Upcoming events:

Mon. Nov 25th, Noon - 3pm: Bipolar Explorer (More info...)
With the release of their 12th album, Bipolar Explorer continues their beautiful tradition of dream-pop songs and landscapes. "Memories of the Sky" was in part inspired by a Paris exhibition of the works of Louis Janmot, and the reoccurring imagery of protective angels. Frontman Michael Wells, along with Vocalist /Keyboardist Sylvia Solanis visiting from France, recorded a gorgeous live set for Irene.

August 23, 2016: Sweet songs broadcast through the fog of late summer, with Sugar Ponies.

Live performance and chat with Sugar Ponies (Suzanne Kramer and Michael McGovern)
San Franciscans Suzanne Kramer and Michael McGovern have been the creative core of this folk-rock group since 2009. Kramer's voice might remind you of Lucinda Williams but she has a unique way of phrasing lyrics with a strength and tenderness behind them. McGovern counts XTC's Andy Partridge and Pete Townsend as guitar influences, and he has a Skywalker Ranch connection as well. Their latest disc, "It's a Sign," was produced by the great Ed Stasium, who worked with The Ramones, Talking Heads, Smithereens, and Living Colour. Suzanne and Michael from Sugar Ponies played some of their tunes live for WFMU.
