	12:21pm Uncle Michael: A new Indian restaurant is opening in town today. I'm excited.

	12:23pm Mike East: now I want Indian food. Dang.

	12:25pm pacific standard simon: I'll have an order of curried potatoes and lamb, please.

	12:27pm pacific standard simon: Fair enough, Michael.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: In my town, Topeka. 21st and Wanamaker...meet me there! Northern Indian.
	12:28pm ndbob: These early Mills Brothers records were great
	12:30pm pacific standard simon: The Island is sadly lacking in culinary diversity.
	12:32pm ndbob: It's nice living somewhere where there are lots of ethnic restaurants instead of being 100 miles or more from one
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Indianapolis is a pretty good restaurant town.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: How far a drive there?
	12:35pm listener james from westwood: ndbob, UM, that would be good news to a friend of mine who lived in indy from ~96–02, in case he ever goes back (there's a major roleplaying game convention there). he hated the local food options to the point where he taught himself to cook. lol, haven't heard "pink thing" in ages!
	12:38pm listener james from westwood: wfmu: the 1 nyc-area station that realizes there's more than 1 thin lizzy song.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: I've seldom been accused of being nyc-area! Maybe I should be flattered.
	12:42pm Jeroen Kuster: wouw good music
	12:42pm ndbob: @James Bloomington has so many options because it's a town with a large university.. and a good food delivery service - in Jamestown the only place that delivered was Domino's
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Jeroen
	12:48pm ndbob: There were some really odd performers who recorded for Motown subsidiaries - Paul Peterson, Dorsey Burnette, etc.
	12:48pm efd: I was wondering if The Messengers were related at all to Michael & The Messengers, who did that great version of "Just Like Romeo And Juliet" on the Nuggets LP, and it seems like they are but after reading their Wikipedia page I'm still not quite sure how.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Ladies and gentlemen, my research department; Evan 'Funk' Davies...let's give it up...
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Evan, I'm waiting a week to spin any Stray...my new favorite, courtesy of efd band of the week.
	12:52pm efd: Alright, I'll look forward to that next week!
	12:53pm still b/p: If you scroll down so only the wigglewarp fingertips are showing from the manumorpho image, it's kinda nice.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: I'm leaning on my monitor for a shoulder rub.
	12:57pm βrian: Some curried Singapore noodles (yum), and I'm back to Afrika.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Jeff Golick's gonna miss the Miles if he's not diligent.
	12:58pm ndbob: @efd I think they are - the Messengers story is really complicated. I will try to get more info re this
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: George and Weezy woulda loved this.
	1:02pm Jeff Golick: I do a pretty good one-word Weezy impersonation: "GEORGE!"
	1:02pm Jeff Golick: Maybe I'll open with that on Monday.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	1:04pm Jeff Golick: Present!
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Miles and Miles...next set.
	1:05pm efd: @ndbob It looks complicated! I will check back for updates.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: Oops.
	1:08pm Alex In Illinois: Wasn't there some "House of the Future" tourist attraction somewhere that was a house made of Styrofoam?
	1:10pm Jeff Golick: Oh right! As promised!
	1:11pm still b/p: Coincidentally...just before Blades of Grass from Are Not For Smoking, I was checking to see if I remembered correctly that Sherman Hemsley really liked his spliff, which would tie in neatly with the Moving On Up reggae number. I did find out instead that a mixture of PCP and pot or tobacco is known as Sherman Hemsley. Learning is FUNdamental.
	1:12pm Alex In Illinois: I was wrong. It was polyurethane insulation foam. en.wikipedia.org...
	1:13pm northguineahills: Back! Holy toots! On the Corner!
	1:14pm Jeff Golick: I could probably listen to the isolated drum track from this record.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm afraid I might need a little extra time to find that, Jeff.
	1:19pm northguineahills: I have to say, The Complete On The Corner Sessions is one of my favorite releases of all time.
	1:21pm Jeff Golick: Not to worry. This'll do nicely! Sadly, Complete On the Corner is one of the Miles "Complete Sessions" boxes I don't have...
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: So people didn't like On The Corner when it came out? What the hell?
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I'm not sad Miles & Hendrix didn't happen. I'm sad Miles and Beefheart didn't happen.
	1:29pm pacific standard simon: Great. Now I'm too high to go to work.
	1:35pm glenn: this is so much better than the other cat scratch fever.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: a wee bit
	1:36pm Jeff Golick: "Jazz people" [ugh] most certainly did NOT like it. It seemed like Miles was "selling out" to the kids. The "kids," meanwhile, didn't really get it, either. Because: Pete Cosey. Etc. It's a record that needed some time to find its audience -- and for the audience to catch up.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, pandering to the kids...riiiiight. Radio friendly, that.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: I surmise that Betty Davis' impact on Miles was rather immense.
	1:39pm Jeff Golick: Yup. I think Miles gets to Sly via Betty -- to wildly oversimplify things.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: That's a workable nutshell.
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: Of course, advanced pharmaceuticals had something to do with it.
	1:44pm Andrew Waterloo: It was all those electric instruments and their lack of authenticity
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: All innovation becomes orthodoxy. Resisting ossification is not easy.
	1:48pm pacific standard simon: Well, hum-de-dum, gotta run. Thank you for the excellent soundtrack, Michael. Toodles, Doodles!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: If you think this might be the longest Dire Straits song, I think you might be right. take care, PSS...thanks for listening
	1:50pm Mike East: ...was just thinking that.
	1:54pm listener james from westwood: hasta la pasta, pss!
	1:56pm listener james from westwood: night flight!!
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: I want a good Night Flight DVD box set.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: they did release "j-men forever" on disk some years ago, to cite one of its staples.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: reasonably certain it's where i also saw "get crazy" for the first time.
	2:00pm northguineahills: Haven't given ole Bryce a listen in weeks. Thanks for blowing my mind, UM!
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: That is true. An MTV Liquid Television box set would be good too.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I'm doing ok?
	🛒 2:02pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yay!!! Vintage MB's.Great show Unc!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: You folks are nice to me.
	2:03pm johnk77: best stoner rock set on any fmu stream in a while could just be me!
	2:04pm listener james from westwood: hell, the 10-second interstitial animations mtv used to run are better than the actual network is these days.
	2:05pm efd: I don't get it, you already knew I was listening.
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: Night Flight...geez. That was as hot as it got back then. I had zero context for that show. Aeron Flux forevah.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Did I drop some bait, Evan...chum?
	2:09pm SeanG: ANDRE
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: It was time for a non sequitur.
	2:10pm still b/p: re Raiders -- I always love excerpting the Spirit of '67 liner notes about Markie boy: "Lindsay is the lofty hero whose tasks and duties must leave him a lonely crusading celibate." There's much more.
	2:11pm Jeff Golick: Always and forever, my fave MTV interstitial: www.youtube.com... [Manetti]
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I'm sure those notes instigated many attempts to corrupt his flesh.
	2:15pm listener james from westwood: holy crap, i completely missed the manetti inters. loved the steve & zoya ones. always wanted to hear more of the stew of background music snippets in each ep. good training for being an fmu lis'ner.
	2:15pm TR In MI: Wrong Flowerpot Men in the Playlist Info - if that was recorded in 1967, they would be amazing pioneers of 1980s production techniques!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: TR, I'm about to express my own skepticism about my own FPM research during the mic break.
	2:16pm still b/p: I don't think I ever watched more than 45 seconds of Aeon FLux, but i know the woman who voiced the character.. Ya gotta read the full, full purple prosey bit on Lindsay. A hoot.
	2:24pm Jeff Golick: I wouldn't have believed this existed if...I wasn't actually listening to it. I'm not sure I actually believe it's real, even now.
	2:25pm listener james from westwood: i keep thinking this is albert king and dr. venture.
	2:27pm Jeff Golick: Also can't believe I conflated AEon Flux and the Aeron chair. #oldz
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: That wouldn't be any weirder. Though, he too is a really funky buffoon.
	2:28pm still b/p: @ Jeff - Comfort is as comfort does.
	2:28pm TR In MI: Venture and Brooks are both under-appreciated geniuses in their respective fields...
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: It's the speed suits.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Beatle much?
	2:45pm listener james from westwood: a day's worth of cleaning has me down to 1 glucose molecule. gotta run next door for food food food. killer show, UM! thanks!!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Thanks James...see you later!
	🛒 2:47pm Brian in UK: Uncle you are keeping it freeform and a p...... teaser! Can we ever get over Gene Clark's sadness?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: I really don't know that we can.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: My second favorite Orpheus song.
	2:50pm ndbob: this is a song I like a lot more now then when it was current
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: I like this ilk a lot. Man, this file sounds shitty though.
	2:52pm Jeff Golick: @ndbob: agreed. I feel that way about "Where Is the Love?" too.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: I think the arrangement on Where Is The Love is terrific...and the vocal...so sweet.
	🛒 2:53pm Brian in UK: Is this The Stone Roses?
	2:55pm johnk77: thank you dj great freeform psych set peace
	2:56pm Mike East: nice show today. helped keep my sanity through all the bullshit
	2:56pm Santos L Halper: Just checking in on the comments; mention of Sherman H earlier reminds me of this: http://dangerousminds.net/comments/weezy_get_me_some_lsd_when_sherman_hemsley_met_gong
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for listening, John77 Thank you Mike.
	2:57pm still b/p: I feel that way about a bushel of ol' pop songs. Though some remain, like what was living behind Michael Myers eyes, purely and simply....evil. TUM...is our new internets abbreviation -- for Thanks, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 2:58pm Brian in UK: Crackin' show, Uncle.
	2:58pm johnk77: tum i'll fix your flat tire merle keep on rockin mike east
	3:00pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Mr. DeeJay!
	1:27am pacific standard simon: Dude, I could totally kick your ass in a musical throwdown. :p
	10:10am Joel: week after week, killer no filler. To quote JB, you're on the one...
	1:03am Droll: I was listening on tiny speakers until "If" started playing and the drums sounded outrageous so I put on cans and the whole thing sounds amazing! Huge production, sounds especially well done for '71. But now that I have cans on your mic sounds funny. Phase? EQ? There's an echo/delay that brighter than the mic itself... Do you always sound like this? The Messengers were wearing the veil very thinly. Well written tune, so I'm not entirely surprised about the Motown heritage. Very imaginative Cat Scratch Fever! How are you talking over the Tonight Show version of Court of the King Crimson? WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!?!?! I love Merle, especially this super-depressing stuff.
	1:40pm Orpheus: Thank you Uncle Michael for keeping our song "Can't Find The Time" on the radio waves. Cheers! www.facebook.com...

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.

	1:11pm still b/p: Coincidentally...just before Blades of Grass from Are Not For Smoking, I was checking to see if I remembered correctly that Sherman Hemsley really liked his spliff, which would tie in neatly with the Moving On Up reggae number. I did find out instead that a mixture of PCP and pot or tobacco is known as Sherman Hemsley. Learning is FUNdamental.
	1:12pm Alex In Illinois: I was wrong. It was polyurethane insulation foam. en.wikipedia.org...
	1:13pm northguineahills: Back! Holy toots! On the Corner!
	1:14pm Jeff Golick: I could probably listen to the isolated drum track from this record.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm afraid I might need a little extra time to find that, Jeff.
	1:19pm northguineahills: I have to say, The Complete On The Corner Sessions is one of my favorite releases of all time.
	1:21pm Jeff Golick: Not to worry. This'll do nicely! Sadly, Complete On the Corner is one of the Miles "Complete Sessions" boxes I don't have...
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: So people didn't like On The Corner when it came out? What the hell?
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I'm not sad Miles & Hendrix didn't happen. I'm sad Miles and Beefheart didn't happen.
	1:29pm pacific standard simon: Great. Now I'm too high to go to work.
	1:35pm glenn: this is so much better than the other cat scratch fever.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: a wee bit
	1:36pm Jeff Golick: "Jazz people" [ugh] most certainly did NOT like it. It seemed like Miles was "selling out" to the kids. The "kids," meanwhile, didn't really get it, either. Because: Pete Cosey. Etc. It's a record that needed some time to find its audience -- and for the audience to catch up.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, pandering to the kids...riiiiight. Radio friendly, that.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: I surmise that Betty Davis' impact on Miles was rather immense.
	1:39pm Jeff Golick: Yup. I think Miles gets to Sly via Betty -- to wildly oversimplify things.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: That's a workable nutshell.
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: Of course, advanced pharmaceuticals had something to do with it.
	1:44pm Andrew Waterloo: It was all those electric instruments and their lack of authenticity
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: All innovation becomes orthodoxy. Resisting ossification is not easy.
	1:48pm pacific standard simon: Well, hum-de-dum, gotta run. Thank you for the excellent soundtrack, Michael. Toodles, Doodles!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: If you think this might be the longest Dire Straits song, I think you might be right. take care, PSS...thanks for listening
	1:50pm Mike East: ...was just thinking that.
	1:54pm listener james from westwood: hasta la pasta, pss!
	1:56pm listener james from westwood: night flight!!
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: I want a good Night Flight DVD box set.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: they did release "j-men forever" on disk some years ago, to cite one of its staples.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: reasonably certain it's where i also saw "get crazy" for the first time.
	2:00pm northguineahills: Haven't given ole Bryce a listen in weeks. Thanks for blowing my mind, UM!
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: That is true. An MTV Liquid Television box set would be good too.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I'm doing ok?
	🛒 2:02pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yay!!! Vintage MB's.Great show Unc!
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: You folks are nice to me.
	2:03pm johnk77: best stoner rock set on any fmu stream in a while could just be me!
	2:04pm listener james from westwood: hell, the 10-second interstitial animations mtv used to run are better than the actual network is these days.
	2:05pm efd: I don't get it, you already knew I was listening.
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: Night Flight...geez. That was as hot as it got back then. I had zero context for that show. Aeron Flux forevah.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Did I drop some bait, Evan...chum?
	2:09pm SeanG: ANDRE
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: It was time for a non sequitur.
	2:10pm still b/p: re Raiders -- I always love excerpting the Spirit of '67 liner notes about Markie boy: "Lindsay is the lofty hero whose tasks and duties must leave him a lonely crusading celibate." There's much more.
	2:11pm Jeff Golick: Always and forever, my fave MTV interstitial: www.youtube.com... [Manetti]
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I'm sure those notes instigated many attempts to corrupt his flesh.
	2:15pm listener james from westwood: holy crap, i completely missed the manetti inters. loved the steve & zoya ones. always wanted to hear more of the stew of background music snippets in each ep. good training for being an fmu lis'ner.
	2:15pm TR In MI: Wrong Flowerpot Men in the Playlist Info - if that was recorded in 1967, they would be amazing pioneers of 1980s production techniques!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: TR, I'm about to express my own skepticism about my own FPM research during the mic break.
	2:16pm still b/p: I don't think I ever watched more than 45 seconds of Aeon FLux, but i know the woman who voiced the character.. Ya gotta read the full, full purple prosey bit on Lindsay. A hoot.
	2:24pm Jeff Golick: I wouldn't have believed this existed if...I wasn't actually listening to it. I'm not sure I actually believe it's real, even now.
	2:25pm listener james from westwood: i keep thinking this is albert king and dr. venture.
	2:27pm Jeff Golick: Also can't believe I conflated AEon Flux and the Aeron chair. #oldz
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: That wouldn't be any weirder. Though, he too is a really funky buffoon.
	2:28pm still b/p: @ Jeff - Comfort is as comfort does.
	2:28pm TR In MI: Venture and Brooks are both under-appreciated geniuses in their respective fields...
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: It's the speed suits.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Beatle much?
	2:45pm listener james from westwood: a day's worth of cleaning has me down to 1 glucose molecule. gotta run next door for food food food. killer show, UM! thanks!!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Thanks James...see you later!
	🛒 2:47pm Brian in UK: Uncle you are keeping it freeform and a p...... teaser! Can we ever get over Gene Clark's sadness?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: I really don't know that we can.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: My second favorite Orpheus song.
	2:50pm ndbob: this is a song I like a lot more now then when it was current
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: I like this ilk a lot. Man, this file sounds shitty though.
	2:52pm Jeff Golick: @ndbob: agreed. I feel that way about "Where Is the Love?" too.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: I think the arrangement on Where Is The Love is terrific...and the vocal...so sweet.
	🛒 2:53pm Brian in UK: Is this The Stone Roses?
	2:55pm johnk77: thank you dj great freeform psych set peace
	2:56pm Mike East: nice show today. helped keep my sanity through all the bullshit
	2:56pm Santos L Halper: Just checking in on the comments; mention of Sherman H earlier reminds me of this: http://dangerousminds.net/comments/weezy_get_me_some_lsd_when_sherman_hemsley_met_gong
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for listening, John77 Thank you Mike.
	2:57pm still b/p: I feel that way about a bushel of ol' pop songs. Though some remain, like what was living behind Michael Myers eyes, purely and simply....evil. TUM...is our new internets abbreviation -- for Thanks, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 2:58pm Brian in UK: Crackin' show, Uncle.
	2:58pm johnk77: tum i'll fix your flat tire merle keep on rockin mike east
	3:00pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Mr. DeeJay!
	1:27am pacific standard simon: Dude, I could totally kick your ass in a musical throwdown. :p
	10:10am Joel: week after week, killer no filler. To quote JB, you're on the one...
	1:03am Droll: I was listening on tiny speakers until "If" started playing and the drums sounded outrageous so I put on cans and the whole thing sounds amazing! Huge production, sounds especially well done for '71. But now that I have cans on your mic sounds funny. Phase? EQ? There's an echo/delay that brighter than the mic itself... Do you always sound like this? The Messengers were wearing the veil very thinly. Well written tune, so I'm not entirely surprised about the Motown heritage. Very imaginative Cat Scratch Fever! How are you talking over the Tonight Show version of Court of the King Crimson? WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!?!?! I love Merle, especially this super-depressing stuff.
	1:40pm Orpheus: Thank you Uncle Michael for keeping our song "Can't Find The Time" on the radio waves. Cheers! www.facebook.com...
