Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from July 22, 2022 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

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.

There's the groups and bands you all know like Little River Band, Air Supply, Crowded House, The Seekers, Tommy Emmanuel, Split Enz and then there's the underrated ones like John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Daryl Braithwaite, Cold Chisel, Noiseworks, Dragon, Mondo Rock, Stars, Richard Clapton, Redgum, Australian Crawl, Sherbet, Southern Sons, Tim Finn, Billy Thorpe and Normie Rowe

That's funny, because NPR interview subjects of all kinds have the near-permanent question inflection. So there's a...balance? ..that causes moody imbalance among listeners? I want the up-enders and down-enders to meet behind the stadium and sort it out with a drunken hooligan brawl.

I just emailed the manager at the site where I stayed. The hold music let up, but only to prompt me to enter my phone number to "hold my place" in the queue. But I was already being helped by a perfectly cordial human being who had the same problem I was having getting the front desk of the hotel!

You know, I'm a decent person, except when it comes to shitty technology, that is to say, technology. When Doug Englebart died I celebrated. Everyday I express gratitude that Steve Jobs is no longer among us. These people have fucked up my life.
