	♥ 12:00pm hyde: another year with nuthin' to do
	♥ 12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Jimmy Qualls can still go to hell.
	12:04pm still b/p: Want to start with expression of disappointment and scorn that Amazon Prime has grabbed Wandrin' Star as its ad music. Paint Your Wagon movie released innnnnnnn.....1969.
	12:06pm Dean: "You are getting sleepy, s-l-e-e-p-y. Your eyelids are growing h-e-a-v-y. There, good. Now, when I throw this chair, you will click that pledge button up there."
	♥ 12:06pm Uncle Michael: Doug, Parq, hyde, still b/p, P-90...WELCOME!
	♥ 12:08pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	♥ 12:09pm Uncle Michael: The chair upside the head keeps waking me up.
	12:10pm still b/p: Disco brawl > disco ball?
	♥ 12:11pm Uncle Michael: Pledge widgets are not a competition...please, no wagering.
	♥ 12:12pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning. That Cyrkle song was kind of charming. I didn't know they did anything but Red Rubber Ball, which I love.
	12:13pm Clay: Great Cyrkle song. I have that on an old Zenith comp. Red Rubber Ball was a Paul Simon song. Not sure about this one.
	♥ 12:13pm Uncle Michael: They actually have a deep catalog that includes songs Paul Simon didn't write. Morning Lizzie! Morning Clay!
	12:15pm Dean: And yet when I hear "Red Rubber Ball," I think of Canada's Diodes.
	🛒 ♥ 12:15pm Jeff GEE: Morning, afternoon, evening, to Uncle Michael and all ears out there.
	12:16pm Dean: There you go: http://thediodestoronto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/first_lp_8_track_tape.jpeg
	♥ 12:16pm Uncle Michael: Good morning Jeff!
	🛒 ♥ 12:17pm Gary: Came for the hinky; stayed for the dinky time.
	12:17pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:17pm still b/p: You linked us to the Zhangjiakou page mainly so we could encounter the term "conurbated," dintcha?
	🛒 ♥ 12:18pm Artie Haywire: King Imperator Sitar is gonna be pissed.
	♥ 12:18pm Uncle Michael: Gary! Bob! Lord Sitar is in sooth Big Jim Sullivan.
	♥ 12:18pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	🛒 ♥ 12:19pm Gary: Jim Sullivan is the name of a long-ago estranged uncle of mine. (This is definitely not him.)
	♥ 12:20pm Lane Gray: I dig the sitar. Can you imagine how cool Indian music would be if they'd only embraced harmony and chords and stuff?
	♥ 12:20pm hyde: ok, the bread is done. now i need music to make muffins by.
	♥ 12:21pm Uncle Michael: Welcome to the party, Lane.
	♥ 12:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Lord Sitar! Who gave him that title, exactly?
	♥ 12:21pm Uncle Michael: The label, I imagine.
	🛒 ♥ 12:22pm Artie Haywire: Mrs. Sitar, of course.
	12:23pm chromaphone: God, that Simone documentary on Netflix shocked me. I had no idea of what she was like in her personal life.
	♥ 12:25pm Lane Gray: Will we hear the Bluegrass 45?
	♥ 12:25pm hyde: this is a great idea for a theme show, btw
	12:26pm Dean: Hope, hope, hope we hear "Fanny."
	🛒 ♥ 12:27pm Charlie: This show is right up there with that great Allen Toussaint tribute someoene did last week. Oh, wait, that was you too!
	12:28pm Dean: Wait, did you use a feminine pronoun in reference to Abi?
	🛒 ♥ 12:29pm Gary: Great, now I need to see that Nina Simone doc
	♥ 12:31pm Doug Schulkind: I'm holding out for a Marla Gibbs special.
	♥ 12:31pm Mike East: yeah, the Nina Simone doc is heavy. Can't believe it took so long for someone to make one.
	♥ 12:32pm Uncle Michael: I meant Esther! Oy!
	♥ 12:32pm Mike East: speaking of which, when is someone gonna make a badfinger documentary?
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wait! Whut? When did Noon happen ?!? ...I knew it - yer supposed to be FreeForm - but you just support the Status Quo...
	♥ 12:32pm Lane Gray: Doug, great last half hour
	12:32pm Dean: I'm recycling a joke, but we really should be grateful that the brothers were not named Barry, Robin, and Maurice Mibb.
	🛒 ♥ 12:32pm Jeff Golick: Can the Gibby Haynes show be far behind?
	12:33pm chromaphone: there is a very depressing Badfinger doc that I watched on Youtube.
	12:33pm Dean: Not sure there could ever be an uplifting Badfinger doc.
	♥ 12:34pm Uncle Michael: No Lane, sorry. Charlie! Mike! Rev! chromaphone!
	🛒 ♥ 12:34pm Jeff Golick: It would be called "On the Good Foot with Badfinger."
	♥ 12:34pm Mike East: the nina simone was definitely not uplifting uncle!
	12:36pm chromaphone: I wanna see more video of Nina performing live. Such an amazing performer and the band was like telepathic at times in the late 60s early 70s.
	12:36pm Dean: Also, that joke that I recycled I started.
	🛒 ♥ 12:37pm Charlie: I started a joke that started the whole world "oy"-ing.
	♥ 12:37pm Lane Gray: But they did an excerrent version of Massachusetts. (in the 70s, there was a Japanese bluegrass band that covered many pop songs. Michael, you can borrow my two slabs of their vinyl)
	♥ 12:38pm Uncle Michael: Dean, there's no way you can guess what version of ISAJ will be heard today.
	12:38pm Dean: Frank Gorshin's?
	♥ 12:38pm hyde: fun fact: Badfinger is playing near here (in Woonsocket, RI) this very night
	♥ 12:39pm Uncle Michael: Who is "they" Lane?
	♥ 12:39pm Doug Schulkind: Glad you dug it, Lane Grey! True story: About 30 years ago, I played on a company softball team with a guy whose real name was Grey Zane.
	♥ 12:39pm Lane Gray: Bluegrass 45.
	🛒 ♥ 12:39pm Artie Haywire: Did he live on Mersey lane?
	12:40pm Dean: A punk version of ISAJ, maybe?
	♥ 12:40pm Uncle Michael: He lived on Marley Purt Drive
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves 60s BGs - they was on the radio in my toddlerhood, kinda thing. Isn't this interesting - these great songs in voices other than those most distinctive BG voices...
	12:41pm still b/p: Recently reminded of Frank Gorshin trivia: What did he have in common with Davy Jones?
	♥ 12:42pm Uncle Michael: An exceptionally small penis?
	♥ 12:42pm hyde: they both had webbed feet
	12:43pm Dean: I'll keep mum, but the world's search engine reveals the connection pretty quickly. And no, UM, it is SFW.
	12:43pm still b/p: I didn't check either feature when the three of us took gym together. Both on the Sullivan show on first Beatles night.
	🛒 ♥ 12:44pm Charlie: Jose!
	12:45pm Stanley: that fella must be a catholic
	♥ 12:46pm Uncle Michael: Greetings, Stanley!
	♥ 12:47pm Mike East: just listened to this american life about the comedy duo who was on Sullivan that night also...they had a great story - I found them hilarious - they have a great chemistry together...been married 30+ years, I think
	♥ 12:48pm Mike East: frank gorshin kindly took them out to dinner after they bombed on their Sullivan debut.
	♥ 12:48pm Lane Gray: Chroma, my new toy is in and sounds AMAZING
	♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael: It's Gorshin's fault that the Beatles bombed on Sullivan? Wow.
	🛒 ♥ 12:53pm Brian in UK: Has there ever been a BeeGees tribute album?
	♥ 12:54pm Uncle Michael: Yes Brian. We will hear a set taken from one.
	🛒 ♥ 12:54pm Jeff Golick: Holy WoonSOCKET, @hyde!
	🛒 ♥ 12:54pm Brian in UK: It's the same time anywhere in China.
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: Don't tell Brian!
	12:56pm still b/p: It's always the right time to conurbate.
	🛒 ♥ 12:56pm Brian in UK: The time is 1963
	12:59pm Stanley: @Brian: that's communism for you
	♥ 12:59pm Lane Gray: I forget: wasn't "in the morning, when we rise" a BeeGees tune?
	♥ 1:01pm Uncle Michael: could beeeeeeee...
	1:04pm johnk77: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/08/arts/music/billy-joe-royal-pop-and-country-singer-dies-at-73.html
	1:05pm Dean: There's a theme for a future show: songs with double negatives in the title.
	1:06pm johnk77: on a happier subject @mikeeast i got to shake hands with smokey robinson last night he dug his rehearsal
	♥ 1:06pm Lane Gray: I remember that the Bluegrass 45 did two of theirs. Can't recall what the. Other waa
	1:06pm Dean: "No, No, Nanette"
	♥ 1:07pm Roberto: SWAMP!
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: Tomorrow night there will be another Nina Simone song and it's a double negative song...
	🛒 ♥ 1:07pm Charlie: Rat on!
	♥ 1:07pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lane: 'Colours' by Donovan? (...or is my irony detector on low power again...)
	🛒 ♥ 1:08pm Jeff Golick: When you're stuck in traffic in China, time actually stops: twitter.com...
	♥ 1:08pm Uncle Michael: hey johnk77!
	♥ 1:08pm Roberto: Love me some Swamp.
	🛒 ♥ 1:09pm Jeff Golick: Still marveling at a 50-LANE HIGHWAY: www.usatoday.com...
	1:09pm johnk77: great work again selecter@um i am a sucker for brilliant oldies;>
	♥ 1:10pm Uncle Michael: thanks john
	🛒 ♥ 1:10pm doctorjazz: Hey all, work busy but enjoying the show!
	1:15pm Dean: We gonna hear Andy cover one of his brothers' tunes?
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: Hi Doctor J!
	♥ 1:15pm Lane Gray: Revolution Rabbit, that WAS the song. the funny thing is, I have a sheltered upbringing. Almost all pop song I learned through their bluegrass covers
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: I wound up leaving Andy out, Dean.
	1:18pm Dean: A Pufnstuf connection!
	♥ 1:18pm Uncle Michael: I think Jack phoned this in.
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: VERY astute, Dean!
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Brian in UK: This is a good insight into John Lennon expecially as it is his birthday today. Also celebrating our twin daughters bd today. www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 1:21pm Mike East: @johnk - I'm jealous. Wish I coulda hung out last night to check out Smokey. Hope he was happy with the space.
	1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lane: I love people like that! - Gary who does 'Bodega Pop' on the Drummer stream is like that - an International Pop Music maven, but stumbles over Sabbath & such - I think unironically...& there's always Classical music heads who when you say 'Prog Rawk' think you mean - Prague ...
	♥ 1:23pm Uncle Michael: The Prog is fine in Prague.
	1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @BrianUK: Thx for Johnny link.
	1:26pm still b/p: More Hinky Linky: Jack Wild and Davy Jones both played the Artful Dodger, Jones onstage, Wild on film. That's why Jones was on the Sullivan show, doing a number from Oliver.
	1:27pm Dean: Who else played the Artful Dodger and went on to rock stardom?
	♥ 1:27pm Uncle Michael: Brothers of course wrote, produced and sang backup on Emotions...that would become a common recipe.
	♥ 1:27pm Uncle Michael: Steve Marriot
	1:27pm Dean: No shit?!
	1:28pm Dean: I had in mind Phil Collins.
	♥ 1:28pm Uncle Michael: no shit
	♥ 1:29pm Uncle Michael: Phil too.
	♥ 1:31pm Uncle Michael: Steve: www.youtube.com...
	1:31pm still b/p: Tony and Stephanie spinning and spinning in the dance studio with the hokey camera POV...
	♥ 1:32pm Uncle Michael: hokey?! brilliant!
	1:34pm Dean: I prefer to think of it as the Giorgio Moroder era.
	1:34pm still b/p: Or refined, like drinking tea.
	1:36pm Dean: Marriott's AD is marvelous.
	♥ 1:36pm Rich in Washington: UM, your recent-ish 70s show compelled me to track down that entire Have A Nice Day series and install it on my house audio system and truth told, it's the only music my wife and I can listen to together in agreement.
	♥ 1:37pm Lane Gray: I stopped hating disco when I learned to appreciate well produced pop. You don't have to like it to respect solid arrangements.
	♥ 1:39pm Uncle Michael: Agreed Lane...I also love the music now. Rich, did you find that down a wormhole?
	♥ 1:40pm listener jeff: I remember liking the Bee-Gees a lot when I was a kid - had several of their 45's. Then for some reason I kind of left them for a harder rock sound. Then, I think the disco era even further distanced me. Really not until, ironically, did I see the disco bus that was outside of some Dead shows that I kind of reconnected. The disco bus played Stayin' Alive a lot with big speakers on top of the bus, really loud. Everybody was Dancing! Thanks UM, this show provides insight that I may not have gotten otherwise. There is so much music and knowledge out there that I can only get from WFMU!
	♥ 1:40pm Rich in Washington: ^whut Lane sed. I was actually a bit young to have experienced disco in its full splendor but clearly remember all the jokes and put-downs of it from TV, also the meme that discotheques were a modern 'Sodom and Gomorrah' from Xtian kooks.
	1:41pm johnk77: staton?
	🛒 ♥ 1:41pm Brian in UK: Remember folks, IT'S FREEFORM.
	♥ 1:41pm Rich in Washington: and - I find I am very sentimental about some music now that 20 years ago I would never think to listen to.
	♥ 1:42pm Uncle Michael: Jeff...I know that disco bus.
	🛒 ♥ 1:42pm Parq: Rare Earth went disco? The wonder of it all.
	♥ 1:42pm Uncle Michael: srsly
	🛒 ♥ 1:43pm Brian in UK: P F Sloan played the Poderosa Stomp. Used to have Raised on Records album by him. Good songwriter as Jimmy Webb acknowledges.
	🛒 ♥ 1:44pm Parq: I still hate the stuff, for the record. Too many bad associations for me to start "appreciating" it. Still, every now and again, I hear a track that makes me say, "Okay, that wasn't so bad."
	♥ 1:44pm Uncle Michael: Brian, for very complicated reasons..Jimmy Webb has denied that "P.F. Sloan" is about P.F. Sloan.
	♥ 1:46pm Lane Gray: Thank you for not. Choosing Twitty's version
	♥ 1:46pm Uncle Michael: Experts, is this Alan?
	♥ 1:46pm Lane Gray: Any idea who's on the Redneck Table Harp?
	♥ 1:47pm Uncle Michael: no clue
	1:48pm Dean: I'm with Parq. Disco evokes bad memories working in a record store where one of the managers was an avid and addicted fan. Avid, as in playing in-store every frigging record that had the slightest whiff of disco; addicted, as in cocaine.
	♥ 1:48pm Rich in Washington: Didn't one of the Osmonds buy a Moog and attempt to play it on an album? Back when buying a Moog was akin to a small country achieving nuclear capabilities?
	♥ 1:49pm Uncle Michael: Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees owned the second or third Moog.
	♥ 1:50pm Uncle Michael: The remainder of the month will also be songwriter tributes (other than tomorrow).
	♥ 1:50pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, I recall reading that. And he used it.
	♥ 1:52pm Lane Gray: What time tomorrow? I'll be there
	♥ 1:53pm Uncle Michael: 10:00 PM ET
	1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Marriott AD ! !...
	1:54pm still b/p: That familiar flavor was ABBAsolutely uncanny.
	🛒 ♥ 1:54pm Brian in UK: Uncle, I see, said the blind man.
	🛒 ♥ 1:57pm Alex In Illinois: Well, there was disco that I enjoyed, and disco that would I get bored with before reaching the end of the song on first listen. Then punk happened for me.
	🛒 ♥ 1:57pm Brian in UK: Always admired their songwriting but never warmed to the Bee Gees.
	♥ 1:59pm Lane Gray: There is one disco performer I still don't like. Barbara Mandrell. Crackers and Sleeping Single in a Double Bed. Ick. Übercheesy
	🛒 ♥ 2:00pm Jeff Golick: I think Paul Bley and Annette Peacock got one of those first Moogs, from the man himself.
	2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The roots of being Disco-averse go deep...I understand for Urban folk it was one hell of a party - w/ gays & minorities ascendant ...but in smalltown NH where I was - it was the jocks into Disco (...& yer Dad was all into it trying to be Travolta - all the worst things) ...& the freaks - us - into R&R (including Punk). All the Rockumentaries show Punk as reaction to Prog excess - but where & when I was - it was a long-overdue reaction to Disco dominating the airwaves & all Live venues for what seemed then to be years & years ! - woosh... Even then, tho' - I would concede the BGs & Donna Summer & what was just good Funk or Pop that happened to have an especially dancey beat...George Clinton said about Disco - it was like trying to make love w/ the same stroke all the time...
	2:03pm Dean: Thought this sounded familiar. The Three O'Clock, so named, IIRC, because the Salvation Army threatened a lawsuit when they originally assumed that name.
	♥ 2:03pm Guido from Cologne: wasn't it that obscure psych-pop band from Australia? Pee-Jees or something?
	🛒 ♥ 2:04pm doctorjazz: Anyone listen to current radio? Disco won big, you know, some version is all over pop airwaves.
	♥ 2:04pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael and everyone!
	2:04pm Dean: Three O'Clock came out of LA, I thought. FYI, UM, Tommy Roe's "Massachusetts" appears on Billboard's mid-'79 country single charts. June 2 it appears at 77 after having been on the charts for three weeks.
	♥ 2:05pm northguineahills: I forgot to say hello, UM, and now it's time for me to say adieu! thanks!
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - about Rave: Disco on acid is still Disco... 60s BeeGees distinct to me - deep roots in the best way.
	♥ 2:06pm Uncle Michael: Interesting, Dean. Hi Guido! Hi/bye NGH!
	2:08pm Dean: At number 1 on the charts that week, The Bellamy Brothers' "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me."
	♥ 2:08pm Guido from Cologne: just my speculation if BeeGees vol1 was their only album, it would stand on par with Oddessey and Oracle, Idle Race's Birthday Party and similar stand-out albums.
	♥ 2:09pm Uncle Michael: I think Idea and Odessa are as good as 1st. But I hear you.
	🛒 ♥ 2:09pm Brian in UK: Guido you got my attention with The Idle Race. How sad is the title track.
	♥ 2:11pm Guido from Cologne: really sad , indeed
	2:12pm ndbob: While I think the first BeeGee's Lp was the best, I like the first four
	♥ 2:13pm Guido from Cologne: and stayin' alive is a serious song about tough live ...- i've learned after decades of ignorance ... we never stop learning
	♥ 2:13pm Lane Gray: I'm digging this version. Or I was until the synth took the hard left turn
	🛒 ♥ 2:16pm Brian in UK: Nice one Uncle. To the kitchen.
	♥ 2:17pm Uncle Michael: Have fun in the lab, Brian.
	♥ 2:35pm Guido from Cologne: Gallon Drunk made a great version of "To Love Somebody" somewhen in the 90ies
	🛒 ♥ 2:35pm doctorjazz: Punk meets disco-cool "How Deep Is Your Love"
	♥ 2:35pm Uncle Michael: I have an interesting version of that in the last set.
	2:36pm flash: lovin this Bee Gees double set
	♥ 2:36pm Uncle Michael: the whole show, flash
	2:37pm flash: shit this whole show has been bee gees! i just now managed to tune in, can't believe what i've missed
	2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I had no idea about 'Sing Slowly Sisters' by Robin G. until recently: www.mixcloud.com...
	2:37pm flash: ha, yeah i just realized that
	♥ 2:38pm Uncle Michael: I'm not fond of thje production of this Phil Seymour but he sings it great and I love this song.
	2:40pm flash: man, what a great idea for a show. can't wait to catch up on the archives. I've actually been working on a Bee Gees show myself
	♥ 2:40pm Uncle Michael: You'll destroy me!
	2:42pm Dean: Seymour had died by the time this record was issued.
	2:42pm flash: i mean, i was just going to do a basic primer of the prime years, with an emphasis on their fetish for historical subject matter. This show is fucking wide-ranging and far-reaching and I'm super jazzed about it
	2:45pm flash: his vocal really was dynamite, spot-on
	2:46pm flash: thought this was Urge Overkill at first
	2:47pm chromaphone: What a gorgeous vibrato.
	♥ 2:47pm Uncle Michael: Dean, Phil probably recorded the song before he died.
	♥ 2:49pm Uncle Michael: Sorry. I started a joke.
	♥ 2:50pm Guido from Cologne: ALSO AN INTERESTING VERSION; YES ... oops capitals
	♥ 2:51pm Uncle Michael: Evan, if your Bee Gees show is as good as you Beach Boys shows...then I'm all over that shit.
	2:51pm Dean: Corgan here sounds a bit like one of those '80s tech pop bands. Pet Shop Boys, maybe? But then there's that distinctive voice of a person who doesn't get enough fiber in his diet.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - fairly often, the hook, for me - is the highest note or harmony those incredible Gibbs voices hit - & the covers sometimes don't do that. Much to appreciate tho'. I am fond of this Hoffs person - can't help it...
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: I think they did a pretty nice Run To Me. Twilley kills this one...good enough to bump Claudine Longet from the show.
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob.
	♥ 3:01pm Guido from Cologne: Thank you Michael! CU soon!
	♥ 3:02pm Mike East: got a bit busy there so I couldn't comment, but I really enjoyed the beegees show while I was working
	🛒 ♥ 3:02pm doctorjazz: There is an Under the Covers V2, FYI
	🛒 ♥ 3:03pm doctorjazz: Had fun, fine show.
	3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM.
	♥ 3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	♥ 12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Jimmy Qualls can still go to hell.
	12:04pm still b/p: Want to start with expression of disappointment and scorn that Amazon Prime has grabbed Wandrin' Star as its ad music. Paint Your Wagon movie released innnnnnnn.....1969.
	12:06pm Dean: "You are getting sleepy, s-l-e-e-p-y. Your eyelids are growing h-e-a-v-y. There, good. Now, when I throw this chair, you will click that pledge button up there."

	♥ 12:11pm Uncle Michael: Pledge widgets are not a competition...please, no wagering.
	♥ 12:12pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning. That Cyrkle song was kind of charming. I didn't know they did anything but Red Rubber Ball, which I love.
	12:13pm Clay: Great Cyrkle song. I have that on an old Zenith comp. Red Rubber Ball was a Paul Simon song. Not sure about this one.
	♥ 12:13pm Uncle Michael: They actually have a deep catalog that includes songs Paul Simon didn't write. Morning Lizzie! Morning Clay!
	12:15pm Dean: And yet when I hear "Red Rubber Ball," I think of Canada's Diodes.
	🛒 ♥ 12:15pm Jeff GEE: Morning, afternoon, evening, to Uncle Michael and all ears out there.
	12:16pm Dean: There you go: http://thediodestoronto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/first_lp_8_track_tape.jpeg

	🛒 ♥ 12:18pm Artie Haywire: King Imperator Sitar is gonna be pissed.
	♥ 12:18pm Uncle Michael: Gary! Bob! Lord Sitar is in sooth Big Jim Sullivan.
	♥ 12:18pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	🛒 ♥ 12:19pm Gary: Jim Sullivan is the name of a long-ago estranged uncle of mine. (This is definitely not him.)
	♥ 12:20pm Lane Gray: I dig the sitar. Can you imagine how cool Indian music would be if they'd only embraced harmony and chords and stuff?
	♥ 12:20pm hyde: ok, the bread is done. now i need music to make muffins by.
	♥ 12:21pm Uncle Michael: Welcome to the party, Lane.
	♥ 12:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Lord Sitar! Who gave him that title, exactly?
	♥ 12:21pm Uncle Michael: The label, I imagine.
	🛒 ♥ 12:22pm Artie Haywire: Mrs. Sitar, of course.
	12:23pm chromaphone: God, that Simone documentary on Netflix shocked me. I had no idea of what she was like in her personal life.
	♥ 12:25pm Lane Gray: Will we hear the Bluegrass 45?
	♥ 12:25pm hyde: this is a great idea for a theme show, btw
	12:26pm Dean: Hope, hope, hope we hear "Fanny."
	🛒 ♥ 12:27pm Charlie: This show is right up there with that great Allen Toussaint tribute someoene did last week. Oh, wait, that was you too!
	12:28pm Dean: Wait, did you use a feminine pronoun in reference to Abi?
	🛒 ♥ 12:29pm Gary: Great, now I need to see that Nina Simone doc
	♥ 12:31pm Doug Schulkind: I'm holding out for a Marla Gibbs special.
	♥ 12:31pm Mike East: yeah, the Nina Simone doc is heavy. Can't believe it took so long for someone to make one.
	♥ 12:32pm Uncle Michael: I meant Esther! Oy!
	♥ 12:32pm Mike East: speaking of which, when is someone gonna make a badfinger documentary?
	12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wait! Whut? When did Noon happen ?!? ...I knew it - yer supposed to be FreeForm - but you just support the Status Quo...
	♥ 12:32pm Lane Gray: Doug, great last half hour
	12:32pm Dean: I'm recycling a joke, but we really should be grateful that the brothers were not named Barry, Robin, and Maurice Mibb.
	🛒 ♥ 12:32pm Jeff Golick: Can the Gibby Haynes show be far behind?
	12:33pm chromaphone: there is a very depressing Badfinger doc that I watched on Youtube.
	12:33pm Dean: Not sure there could ever be an uplifting Badfinger doc.
	♥ 12:34pm Uncle Michael: No Lane, sorry. Charlie! Mike! Rev! chromaphone!
	🛒 ♥ 12:34pm Jeff Golick: It would be called "On the Good Foot with Badfinger."
	♥ 12:34pm Mike East: the nina simone was definitely not uplifting uncle!
	12:36pm chromaphone: I wanna see more video of Nina performing live. Such an amazing performer and the band was like telepathic at times in the late 60s early 70s.
	12:36pm Dean: Also, that joke that I recycled I started.
	🛒 ♥ 12:37pm Charlie: I started a joke that started the whole world "oy"-ing.
	♥ 12:37pm Lane Gray: But they did an excerrent version of Massachusetts. (in the 70s, there was a Japanese bluegrass band that covered many pop songs. Michael, you can borrow my two slabs of their vinyl)
	♥ 12:38pm Uncle Michael: Dean, there's no way you can guess what version of ISAJ will be heard today.
	12:38pm Dean: Frank Gorshin's?
	♥ 12:38pm hyde: fun fact: Badfinger is playing near here (in Woonsocket, RI) this very night
	♥ 12:39pm Uncle Michael: Who is "they" Lane?
	♥ 12:39pm Doug Schulkind: Glad you dug it, Lane Grey! True story: About 30 years ago, I played on a company softball team with a guy whose real name was Grey Zane.
	♥ 12:39pm Lane Gray: Bluegrass 45.
	🛒 ♥ 12:39pm Artie Haywire: Did he live on Mersey lane?
	12:40pm Dean: A punk version of ISAJ, maybe?
	♥ 12:40pm Uncle Michael: He lived on Marley Purt Drive
	12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loves 60s BGs - they was on the radio in my toddlerhood, kinda thing. Isn't this interesting - these great songs in voices other than those most distinctive BG voices...
	12:41pm still b/p: Recently reminded of Frank Gorshin trivia: What did he have in common with Davy Jones?
	♥ 12:42pm Uncle Michael: An exceptionally small penis?
	♥ 12:42pm hyde: they both had webbed feet
	12:43pm Dean: I'll keep mum, but the world's search engine reveals the connection pretty quickly. And no, UM, it is SFW.
	12:43pm still b/p: I didn't check either feature when the three of us took gym together. Both on the Sullivan show on first Beatles night.
	🛒 ♥ 12:44pm Charlie: Jose!
	12:45pm Stanley: that fella must be a catholic
	♥ 12:46pm Uncle Michael: Greetings, Stanley!
	♥ 12:47pm Mike East: just listened to this american life about the comedy duo who was on Sullivan that night also...they had a great story - I found them hilarious - they have a great chemistry together...been married 30+ years, I think
	♥ 12:48pm Mike East: frank gorshin kindly took them out to dinner after they bombed on their Sullivan debut.
	♥ 12:48pm Lane Gray: Chroma, my new toy is in and sounds AMAZING
	♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael: It's Gorshin's fault that the Beatles bombed on Sullivan? Wow.
	🛒 ♥ 12:53pm Brian in UK: Has there ever been a BeeGees tribute album?
	♥ 12:54pm Uncle Michael: Yes Brian. We will hear a set taken from one.
	🛒 ♥ 12:54pm Jeff Golick: Holy WoonSOCKET, @hyde!
	🛒 ♥ 12:54pm Brian in UK: It's the same time anywhere in China.
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: Don't tell Brian!
	12:56pm still b/p: It's always the right time to conurbate.
	🛒 ♥ 12:56pm Brian in UK: The time is 1963
	12:59pm Stanley: @Brian: that's communism for you
	♥ 12:59pm Lane Gray: I forget: wasn't "in the morning, when we rise" a BeeGees tune?
	♥ 1:01pm Uncle Michael: could beeeeeeee...
	1:04pm johnk77: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/08/arts/music/billy-joe-royal-pop-and-country-singer-dies-at-73.html
	1:05pm Dean: There's a theme for a future show: songs with double negatives in the title.
	1:06pm johnk77: on a happier subject @mikeeast i got to shake hands with smokey robinson last night he dug his rehearsal
	♥ 1:06pm Lane Gray: I remember that the Bluegrass 45 did two of theirs. Can't recall what the. Other waa

	1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lane: 'Colours' by Donovan? (...or is my irony detector on low power again...)
	🛒 ♥ 1:08pm Jeff Golick: When you're stuck in traffic in China, time actually stops: twitter.com...
	♥ 1:08pm Uncle Michael: hey johnk77!
	♥ 1:08pm Roberto: Love me some Swamp.

	🛒 ♥ 1:10pm doctorjazz: Hey all, work busy but enjoying the show!
	1:15pm Dean: We gonna hear Andy cover one of his brothers' tunes?
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: Hi Doctor J!
	♥ 1:15pm Lane Gray: Revolution Rabbit, that WAS the song. the funny thing is, I have a sheltered upbringing. Almost all pop song I learned through their bluegrass covers
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: I wound up leaving Andy out, Dean.
	1:18pm Dean: A Pufnstuf connection!
	♥ 1:18pm Uncle Michael: I think Jack phoned this in.
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: VERY astute, Dean!
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Brian in UK: This is a good insight into John Lennon expecially as it is his birthday today. Also celebrating our twin daughters bd today. www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 1:21pm Mike East: @johnk - I'm jealous. Wish I coulda hung out last night to check out Smokey. Hope he was happy with the space.
	1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lane: I love people like that! - Gary who does 'Bodega Pop' on the Drummer stream is like that - an International Pop Music maven, but stumbles over Sabbath & such - I think unironically...& there's always Classical music heads who when you say 'Prog Rawk' think you mean - Prague ...
	♥ 1:23pm Uncle Michael: The Prog is fine in Prague.
	1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @BrianUK: Thx for Johnny link.
	1:26pm still b/p: More Hinky Linky: Jack Wild and Davy Jones both played the Artful Dodger, Jones onstage, Wild on film. That's why Jones was on the Sullivan show, doing a number from Oliver.
	1:27pm Dean: Who else played the Artful Dodger and went on to rock stardom?
	♥ 1:27pm Uncle Michael: Brothers of course wrote, produced and sang backup on Emotions...that would become a common recipe.
	♥ 1:27pm Uncle Michael: Steve Marriot
	1:27pm Dean: No shit?!
	1:28pm Dean: I had in mind Phil Collins.
	♥ 1:28pm Uncle Michael: no shit
	♥ 1:29pm Uncle Michael: Phil too.
	♥ 1:31pm Uncle Michael: Steve: www.youtube.com...
	1:31pm still b/p: Tony and Stephanie spinning and spinning in the dance studio with the hokey camera POV...
	♥ 1:32pm Uncle Michael: hokey?! brilliant!
	1:34pm Dean: I prefer to think of it as the Giorgio Moroder era.
	1:34pm still b/p: Or refined, like drinking tea.
	1:36pm Dean: Marriott's AD is marvelous.
	♥ 1:36pm Rich in Washington: UM, your recent-ish 70s show compelled me to track down that entire Have A Nice Day series and install it on my house audio system and truth told, it's the only music my wife and I can listen to together in agreement.
	♥ 1:37pm Lane Gray: I stopped hating disco when I learned to appreciate well produced pop. You don't have to like it to respect solid arrangements.
	♥ 1:39pm Uncle Michael: Agreed Lane...I also love the music now. Rich, did you find that down a wormhole?
	♥ 1:40pm listener jeff: I remember liking the Bee-Gees a lot when I was a kid - had several of their 45's. Then for some reason I kind of left them for a harder rock sound. Then, I think the disco era even further distanced me. Really not until, ironically, did I see the disco bus that was outside of some Dead shows that I kind of reconnected. The disco bus played Stayin' Alive a lot with big speakers on top of the bus, really loud. Everybody was Dancing! Thanks UM, this show provides insight that I may not have gotten otherwise. There is so much music and knowledge out there that I can only get from WFMU!
	♥ 1:40pm Rich in Washington: ^whut Lane sed. I was actually a bit young to have experienced disco in its full splendor but clearly remember all the jokes and put-downs of it from TV, also the meme that discotheques were a modern 'Sodom and Gomorrah' from Xtian kooks.
	1:41pm johnk77: staton?
	🛒 ♥ 1:41pm Brian in UK: Remember folks, IT'S FREEFORM.
	♥ 1:41pm Rich in Washington: and - I find I am very sentimental about some music now that 20 years ago I would never think to listen to.
	♥ 1:42pm Uncle Michael: Jeff...I know that disco bus.
	🛒 ♥ 1:42pm Parq: Rare Earth went disco? The wonder of it all.
	♥ 1:42pm Uncle Michael: srsly
	🛒 ♥ 1:43pm Brian in UK: P F Sloan played the Poderosa Stomp. Used to have Raised on Records album by him. Good songwriter as Jimmy Webb acknowledges.
	🛒 ♥ 1:44pm Parq: I still hate the stuff, for the record. Too many bad associations for me to start "appreciating" it. Still, every now and again, I hear a track that makes me say, "Okay, that wasn't so bad."
	♥ 1:44pm Uncle Michael: Brian, for very complicated reasons..Jimmy Webb has denied that "P.F. Sloan" is about P.F. Sloan.
	♥ 1:46pm Lane Gray: Thank you for not. Choosing Twitty's version
	♥ 1:46pm Uncle Michael: Experts, is this Alan?
	♥ 1:46pm Lane Gray: Any idea who's on the Redneck Table Harp?
	♥ 1:47pm Uncle Michael: no clue
	1:48pm Dean: I'm with Parq. Disco evokes bad memories working in a record store where one of the managers was an avid and addicted fan. Avid, as in playing in-store every frigging record that had the slightest whiff of disco; addicted, as in cocaine.
	♥ 1:48pm Rich in Washington: Didn't one of the Osmonds buy a Moog and attempt to play it on an album? Back when buying a Moog was akin to a small country achieving nuclear capabilities?
	♥ 1:49pm Uncle Michael: Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees owned the second or third Moog.
	♥ 1:50pm Uncle Michael: The remainder of the month will also be songwriter tributes (other than tomorrow).
	♥ 1:50pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, I recall reading that. And he used it.
	♥ 1:52pm Lane Gray: What time tomorrow? I'll be there
	♥ 1:53pm Uncle Michael: 10:00 PM ET
	1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Marriott AD ! !...
	1:54pm still b/p: That familiar flavor was ABBAsolutely uncanny.
	🛒 ♥ 1:54pm Brian in UK: Uncle, I see, said the blind man.
	🛒 ♥ 1:57pm Alex In Illinois: Well, there was disco that I enjoyed, and disco that would I get bored with before reaching the end of the song on first listen. Then punk happened for me.
	🛒 ♥ 1:57pm Brian in UK: Always admired their songwriting but never warmed to the Bee Gees.
	♥ 1:59pm Lane Gray: There is one disco performer I still don't like. Barbara Mandrell. Crackers and Sleeping Single in a Double Bed. Ick. Übercheesy
	🛒 ♥ 2:00pm Jeff Golick: I think Paul Bley and Annette Peacock got one of those first Moogs, from the man himself.
	2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The roots of being Disco-averse go deep...I understand for Urban folk it was one hell of a party - w/ gays & minorities ascendant ...but in smalltown NH where I was - it was the jocks into Disco (...& yer Dad was all into it trying to be Travolta - all the worst things) ...& the freaks - us - into R&R (including Punk). All the Rockumentaries show Punk as reaction to Prog excess - but where & when I was - it was a long-overdue reaction to Disco dominating the airwaves & all Live venues for what seemed then to be years & years ! - woosh... Even then, tho' - I would concede the BGs & Donna Summer & what was just good Funk or Pop that happened to have an especially dancey beat...George Clinton said about Disco - it was like trying to make love w/ the same stroke all the time...
	2:03pm Dean: Thought this sounded familiar. The Three O'Clock, so named, IIRC, because the Salvation Army threatened a lawsuit when they originally assumed that name.
	♥ 2:03pm Guido from Cologne: wasn't it that obscure psych-pop band from Australia? Pee-Jees or something?
	🛒 ♥ 2:04pm doctorjazz: Anyone listen to current radio? Disco won big, you know, some version is all over pop airwaves.
	♥ 2:04pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael and everyone!
	2:04pm Dean: Three O'Clock came out of LA, I thought. FYI, UM, Tommy Roe's "Massachusetts" appears on Billboard's mid-'79 country single charts. June 2 it appears at 77 after having been on the charts for three weeks.
	♥ 2:05pm northguineahills: I forgot to say hello, UM, and now it's time for me to say adieu! thanks!
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - about Rave: Disco on acid is still Disco... 60s BeeGees distinct to me - deep roots in the best way.
	♥ 2:06pm Uncle Michael: Interesting, Dean. Hi Guido! Hi/bye NGH!
	2:08pm Dean: At number 1 on the charts that week, The Bellamy Brothers' "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me."
	♥ 2:08pm Guido from Cologne: just my speculation if BeeGees vol1 was their only album, it would stand on par with Oddessey and Oracle, Idle Race's Birthday Party and similar stand-out albums.
	♥ 2:09pm Uncle Michael: I think Idea and Odessa are as good as 1st. But I hear you.
	🛒 ♥ 2:09pm Brian in UK: Guido you got my attention with The Idle Race. How sad is the title track.
	♥ 2:11pm Guido from Cologne: really sad , indeed
	2:12pm ndbob: While I think the first BeeGee's Lp was the best, I like the first four
	♥ 2:13pm Guido from Cologne: and stayin' alive is a serious song about tough live ...- i've learned after decades of ignorance ... we never stop learning
	♥ 2:13pm Lane Gray: I'm digging this version. Or I was until the synth took the hard left turn
	🛒 ♥ 2:16pm Brian in UK: Nice one Uncle. To the kitchen.
	♥ 2:17pm Uncle Michael: Have fun in the lab, Brian.
	♥ 2:35pm Guido from Cologne: Gallon Drunk made a great version of "To Love Somebody" somewhen in the 90ies
	🛒 ♥ 2:35pm doctorjazz: Punk meets disco-cool "How Deep Is Your Love"
	♥ 2:35pm Uncle Michael: I have an interesting version of that in the last set.
	2:36pm flash: lovin this Bee Gees double set
	♥ 2:36pm Uncle Michael: the whole show, flash
	2:37pm flash: shit this whole show has been bee gees! i just now managed to tune in, can't believe what i've missed
	2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I had no idea about 'Sing Slowly Sisters' by Robin G. until recently: www.mixcloud.com...
	2:37pm flash: ha, yeah i just realized that
	♥ 2:38pm Uncle Michael: I'm not fond of thje production of this Phil Seymour but he sings it great and I love this song.
	2:40pm flash: man, what a great idea for a show. can't wait to catch up on the archives. I've actually been working on a Bee Gees show myself
	♥ 2:40pm Uncle Michael: You'll destroy me!
	2:42pm Dean: Seymour had died by the time this record was issued.
	2:42pm flash: i mean, i was just going to do a basic primer of the prime years, with an emphasis on their fetish for historical subject matter. This show is fucking wide-ranging and far-reaching and I'm super jazzed about it
	2:45pm flash: his vocal really was dynamite, spot-on
	2:46pm flash: thought this was Urge Overkill at first
	2:47pm chromaphone: What a gorgeous vibrato.
	♥ 2:47pm Uncle Michael: Dean, Phil probably recorded the song before he died.
	♥ 2:49pm Uncle Michael: Sorry. I started a joke.
	♥ 2:50pm Guido from Cologne: ALSO AN INTERESTING VERSION; YES ... oops capitals
	♥ 2:51pm Uncle Michael: Evan, if your Bee Gees show is as good as you Beach Boys shows...then I'm all over that shit.
	2:51pm Dean: Corgan here sounds a bit like one of those '80s tech pop bands. Pet Shop Boys, maybe? But then there's that distinctive voice of a person who doesn't get enough fiber in his diet.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - fairly often, the hook, for me - is the highest note or harmony those incredible Gibbs voices hit - & the covers sometimes don't do that. Much to appreciate tho'. I am fond of this Hoffs person - can't help it...
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: I think they did a pretty nice Run To Me. Twilley kills this one...good enough to bump Claudine Longet from the show.
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob.
	♥ 3:01pm Guido from Cologne: Thank you Michael! CU soon!
	♥ 3:02pm Mike East: got a bit busy there so I couldn't comment, but I really enjoyed the beegees show while I was working
	🛒 ♥ 3:02pm doctorjazz: There is an Under the Covers V2, FYI
	🛒 ♥ 3:03pm doctorjazz: Had fun, fine show.
	3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM.
	♥ 3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
