	12:21pm earrie: This sounds like a hit that never fucking was.
	12:26pm pacific standard simon: I love Quicksilver Messenger Service, but I have a feeling we're not going to be hearing any full album sides in this set.
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Probably not in this show...which raises the question; how will Uncle Michel manage his tamale?
	12:31pm pacific standard simon: Have you tried a whip and a chair?
	12:32pm glenn: is it a femme tamale?
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: No whip or chair...it's a tame tamale.
	12:35pm pacific standard simon: I love my shirt. www.youtube.com...
	12:36pm glenn: this will always be a turtles commercial to me.
	12:37pm Alex In Illinois: I remember this from Captain Kangeroo. A bunch of puppets would sing this. Or was it Sesame Street?

	12:40pm glenn: canada 2, austria 0.
	12:41pm northguineahills: Esquivel!
	12:42pm pacific standard simon: Lost ladies of folk: www.theguardian.com...
	12:42pm still b/p: And this should be the basis for a stage revue -- Beyond the Cringe.
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: This would be good on tack piano.
	12:49pm glenn: did you actually own this rodriguez at the time, u.m.?
	12:49pm northguineahills: Taking a break from the Olympics today in a futile effort to get stuff done today (insomnia allowed me to watch hockey/curling 4-6am)
	12:49pm northguineahills: Finally saw searching for sugarman on Netflix last week. Nice doc.
	12:49pm glenn: this album only sold something like 10 copies in the u.s.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Rumours?
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: That would be some alternate universe.
	12:52pm glenn: cold fact, silly.
	12:54pm still b/p: And it's a shame because the band members were simple, quiet, unassuming, mutually supportive, egoless souls.
	12:56pm pacific standard simon: This stuff is in my valentine wheelhouse, UM.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: I think it's in everyone's!
	12:59pm earrie: I love Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Cinema Paradiso. Wouldn't love the movie without it.
	1:04pm glenn: will they stull guarantee delivery in less than 30 minutes? www.cbc.ca...
	1:05pm Gary: Wow, that was Bobbie Gentry. i got up from the couch to come look now b/c I couldn't tell who it was
	1:05pm glenn: still. duh.
	1:07pm robtatet: they will go to an online museum and see answering machines
	1:09pm pacific standard simon: Every thrift shop in America is a museum of answering machines
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Truth.
	1:11pm holland oats: as a chills fan let me just say i was unaware of the provenance of 'i love my leather jacket' until now
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: connecting the dots...it's what's for dinner
	1:12pm pacific standard simon: If the shop has a testing socket, plug the machine in and listen to the messages -- you might find comedy gold!
	1:13pm pacific standard simon: I'm too sexy for my leather jacket.
	1:15pm efd: What's next, "I'm In Love With My Car?"
	1:15pm pacific standard simon: Can "I Love My Tamale" be far behind?
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: No but good idea, efd!
	1:15pm Alex In Illinois: Isn't there a song about loving one's sneakers by Poly Styrene?
	1:16pm efd: ... or Wild Cherry's "I Love My Music?"
	1:16pm still b/p: I'm sure there's a reddit category called "I Love My Feet."
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: When's the next time VD falls on a Friday?
	1:17pm ndbob: @glenn I found the Rodriguez LP fora dollar a few years ago
	1:18pm earrie: 2020
	1:19pm efd: 6 or 7 years, probably? Thumbs up for "I Love My Label!"
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Nick might not have been telling the truth.
	1:20pm pacific standard simon: We'll be ready for VOM's "I'm In Love With Your Mom" by then.

	1:21pm Uncle Michael: See ya Gary! Thanks.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Ramping up the comedy a little higher, next....
	1:29pm northguineahills: Haven't heard that Brak track since I was in college... more then 15 years ago...
	1:30pm pacific standard simon: THIS is the song I've been waiting for!
	1:30pm still b/p: Ohhhhhhh, you think YOU love beans? No, no... s1.hubimg.com...
	1:30pm efd: funny, I had "Who's Been Sleeping Here" running through my head earlier today.
	1:30pm Pedro G.: Another great show Uncle Michael. Is it possible that "Answering Machine" is the greatest of all Replacements songs? And there's a YouTube of Cat Stevens doing "I Love My Dog" on some French TV show in the late 60s. Excellent.
	1:32pm Pedro G.: This: www.youtube.com...
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: efd, your head can be a scary place!
	1:41pm glenn: jim fregosi died.
	1:42pm glenn: wow. tom t x2.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Mislabeled track...but hey...I love Tom...just not this track! Oh, well! Sad about Fregosi
	1:45pm glenn: i love tom t too.
	1:46pm Pedro G.: When I was a kid, I used to think Jim Fergosi was related to Bela Lugosi.
	1:47pm glenn: he managed like it sometimes.
	1:50pm still b/p: How about Nat King Cole singing L-O-V-E to rebalance the cosmic wheels?
	1:51pm pacific standard simon: Say you played it for Fregosi.
	1:53pm glenn: charlie feathers? johnny burnette trio? i can't remember who did the original.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: When I saw Barry live, he had two ladies in giant champagne glasses... of course he did.
	1:56pm pacific standard simon: "I Love A Practical Joke" www.youtube.com...
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: wow, I don't remember this mp3 sounding this crappy
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael, I hope you don't run out of material before 3pm(ET)!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: material? I've got the whole nine yards.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: i'm back! is this the love room?
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Why? You want a massage?
	2:02pm still b/p: I might have seen a blonde in a blue four foot high martini glass with suds in it if I was in a joint in Boston's combat zone in about 1977. You know.....if.
	🛒 2:04pm Brian in UK: There ain't no sense sitting on a fence all by yourself in the moonlight. Those words are still true today.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: man, i recently had an overseas author use the term "massage parlor" in a manuscript where he probably wanted to use the term "day spa." i very tactfully suggested the latter while hinting that the former term has different connotations over here, esp. in or near big cities....
	2:06pm hyde: whew, i almost missed all of the love
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: It's boundless, hyde.
	2:08pm hyde: love is a conveyor belt of warmth, my friend
	🛒 2:08pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey HinkyDinkers..Unc M, you're makin' a true romantic outta me!
	2:09pm listener james from westwood: still b/p, is there anything left of said combat zone? it was just beginning to come under gentrification when i left college in the early 90s.
	2:10pm listener james from westwood: the days when i could be at a red light in boston's chinatown and see one guy chase, catch, and then start beating another guy with a length of industrial duct may now be in the past.
	2:11pm listener james from westwood: heh, the zone has its own wikipedia entry, even.
	2:11pm hyde: @ljfw it's all gone. there's one token club on lagrange. everything else is lost in the sands of time.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: That's very sad.
	2:14pm listener james from westwood: sic transit gloria mundi.
	2:16pm Michael: There may be 2 Hyde - not that I would know. =)
	2:17pm still b/p: Today you wouldn't know it was ever a zone of anything, certainly not of the tawdry, raw and dangerous. A lot of Emerson College kids live at its former edge, and redevelopment in and near it has recast it. It ain't all polished, but it sure ain't the Pilgrim Theater and Naked I.
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: although it has its pluses, i guess. one of my earliest memories of college is reading a story in the boston phoenix about someone in roxbury or dorchester (both then still rough in 1987) picking up used condoms around her building with folded paper plates. less of that can't be bad. ps. i miss the boston phoenix.
	2:18pm efd: ack-shawhn!
	2:18pm hyde: @still b/p the pilgrim was amazing! an ornate opera house turned seedy porno theater.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: "i love the nightlife" inevitably reminds me of the film "love at first bite." and pleasantly so.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Love and flies just bring me down.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: a webster's-worthy alternate pronunciation.
	2:21pm hyde: @Michael ah ok, two. i haven't been down that way for awhile.
	2:21pm still b/p: I was in the city at Thanksgiving and started to look for a Phoenix for listings, forgetting all about its unhappy folding. Strange thing is the smaller Portland version lives on.
	2:22pm ndbob: good one here UM!
	2:23pm Michael: I've worked nearby for some time and it's amazing to see the changes over the last 25 or so years. I worked in the Little Building for a few years and now it's an Emerson dorm.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Bob.
	2:23pm hyde: @still b/p the providence phoenix still publishes too, which is really odd.
	2:25pm pacific standard simon: [quick zip]
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: oh man, this jetsons song! been a while.
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: lot of good cuts on this collection.
	2:29pm still b/p: My eye doctor was in Little Building for years. A year or so ago I stepped in there to just glance again at the 1st/2nd floor lobby/arcade for nostalgia's sake and was surprised to find a security guard at a podium blocking nonresidents and unauthorized persons.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: It was very well done...love the Frente track on it.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Man...this is so stupid.
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: and yet it worked perfectly at a friend's annual halloween extravaganza.
	2:33pm pacific standard simon: Trying to sound sinister; sounds nerdy.
	2:34pm still b/p: He loves golf.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I totally bought this schtick when I was 13.
	2:34pm listener james from westwood: that also describes my friend's annual halloween extravaganza. gods i miss that.
	2:35pm pacific standard simon: Me too. Well, I was even older, sorry to say...
	2:37pm pacific standard simon: I hate myself for loving rock 'n' roll.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I like this better now than I did then.
	2:38pm pacific standard simon: Put another bullet in the jukebox, baby.
	2:38pm listener james from westwood: okay. i may be crazy, but i think the version of this joan jett cut now getting airplay on things like 101.1 in the nyc market is a re-recorded edition. it just sounds different, esp. the vocals here and there. this, on the other hand, sounds like the original. am i nuts?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Time to take a more serious turn...
	2:39pm efd: I always loved the drumming on this song.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: This song still slays me. Sonofabitch could write 'em.
	2:42pm efd: ("this" = the Joan Jett song)
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Wait...you weren't praising Russ Kunkel?
	2:46pm northguineahills: gotta go, seeya UM, enjoy the weekend!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: see ya, NGH...thanks!
	2:47pm pacific standard simon: Love the June Tabor cover of this, too.
	2:47pm efd: No, I was praising Thommy Price.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: I know...I was giving you the business, Beaver.
	2:48pm Mike East: heard the beginning and end of the show. Great stuff. I gotta more Billy Bragg....and Buzzcocks....and Nilsson...Goddamn, there just too much music and not enough dollars!!!
	2:49pm Mike East: gotta get more...ahem.
	2:49pm efd: okay, Eddie Haskell.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: I'm not particularly bothered that I'm not actually playing the version of this I meant to.
	2:53pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm glenn: the rich aren't like you and me. www.torontosun.com...
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks so much.
	2:54pm listener james from westwood: hey, we got flute, we happy.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: It's true -- the show has been a merry carnival ride.
	2:55pm listener james from westwood: flute and trumpet, i should say.
	2:57pm earrie: Good show; hope you don't wait til 2020 to do it again, UM.
	2:57pm duke: Thanks UM
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: looking forward to catching the 1st part on the archive, but loved the chunk i heard! a happy friday and/or valentine's day to all!
	2:59pm SeanG: great show dude
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: thanks everyone...take care!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 14, 2014

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.

	12:32pm glenn: is it a femme tamale?
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: No whip or chair...it's a tame tamale.
	12:35pm pacific standard simon: I love my shirt. www.youtube.com...
	12:36pm glenn: this will always be a turtles commercial to me.
	12:37pm Alex In Illinois: I remember this from Captain Kangeroo. A bunch of puppets would sing this. Or was it Sesame Street?
	12:37pm pacific standard simon: Susan Christie, I wanna be your boyfriend.
	12:37pm still b/p: The love that dare not breathe its name.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: May I offer you a mint?
	12:39pm still b/p: This sounds like it's going to go all Spike Jones any moment. Or should.
	12:40pm glenn: canada 2, austria 0.
	12:41pm northguineahills: Esquivel!
	12:42pm pacific standard simon: Lost ladies of folk: www.theguardian.com...
	12:42pm still b/p: And this should be the basis for a stage revue -- Beyond the Cringe.
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: This would be good on tack piano.
	12:49pm glenn: did you actually own this rodriguez at the time, u.m.?
	12:49pm northguineahills: Taking a break from the Olympics today in a futile effort to get stuff done today (insomnia allowed me to watch hockey/curling 4-6am)
	12:49pm northguineahills: Finally saw searching for sugarman on Netflix last week. Nice doc.
	12:49pm glenn: this album only sold something like 10 copies in the u.s.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Rumours?
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: That would be some alternate universe.
	12:52pm glenn: cold fact, silly.
	12:54pm still b/p: And it's a shame because the band members were simple, quiet, unassuming, mutually supportive, egoless souls.
	12:56pm pacific standard simon: This stuff is in my valentine wheelhouse, UM.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: I think it's in everyone's!
	12:59pm earrie: I love Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Cinema Paradiso. Wouldn't love the movie without it.
	1:04pm glenn: will they stull guarantee delivery in less than 30 minutes? www.cbc.ca...
	1:05pm Gary: Wow, that was Bobbie Gentry. i got up from the couch to come look now b/c I couldn't tell who it was
	1:05pm glenn: still. duh.
	1:07pm robtatet: they will go to an online museum and see answering machines
	1:09pm pacific standard simon: Every thrift shop in America is a museum of answering machines
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Truth.
	1:11pm holland oats: as a chills fan let me just say i was unaware of the provenance of 'i love my leather jacket' until now
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: connecting the dots...it's what's for dinner
	1:12pm pacific standard simon: If the shop has a testing socket, plug the machine in and listen to the messages -- you might find comedy gold!
	1:13pm pacific standard simon: I'm too sexy for my leather jacket.
	1:15pm efd: What's next, "I'm In Love With My Car?"
	1:15pm pacific standard simon: Can "I Love My Tamale" be far behind?
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: No but good idea, efd!
	1:15pm Alex In Illinois: Isn't there a song about loving one's sneakers by Poly Styrene?
	1:16pm efd: ... or Wild Cherry's "I Love My Music?"
	1:16pm still b/p: I'm sure there's a reddit category called "I Love My Feet."
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: When's the next time VD falls on a Friday?
	1:17pm ndbob: @glenn I found the Rodriguez LP fora dollar a few years ago
	1:18pm earrie: 2020
	1:19pm efd: 6 or 7 years, probably? Thumbs up for "I Love My Label!"
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Nick might not have been telling the truth.
	1:20pm pacific standard simon: We'll be ready for VOM's "I'm In Love With Your Mom" by then.
	1:20pm Gary: I love my shirt, my feet and my fruit as much as the next guy ... but my GF comes first and she's wanting to go out and get lunch. Have a great VD everyone! ANd thanks for la musica la musica, tio Miguel!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: See ya Gary! Thanks.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Ramping up the comedy a little higher, next....
	1:29pm northguineahills: Haven't heard that Brak track since I was in college... more then 15 years ago...
	1:30pm pacific standard simon: THIS is the song I've been waiting for!
	1:30pm still b/p: Ohhhhhhh, you think YOU love beans? No, no... s1.hubimg.com...
	1:30pm efd: funny, I had "Who's Been Sleeping Here" running through my head earlier today.
	1:30pm Pedro G.: Another great show Uncle Michael. Is it possible that "Answering Machine" is the greatest of all Replacements songs? And there's a YouTube of Cat Stevens doing "I Love My Dog" on some French TV show in the late 60s. Excellent.
	1:32pm Pedro G.: This: www.youtube.com...
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: efd, your head can be a scary place!
	1:41pm glenn: jim fregosi died.
	1:42pm glenn: wow. tom t x2.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Mislabeled track...but hey...I love Tom...just not this track! Oh, well! Sad about Fregosi
	1:45pm glenn: i love tom t too.
	1:46pm Pedro G.: When I was a kid, I used to think Jim Fergosi was related to Bela Lugosi.
	1:47pm glenn: he managed like it sometimes.
	1:50pm still b/p: How about Nat King Cole singing L-O-V-E to rebalance the cosmic wheels?
	1:51pm pacific standard simon: Say you played it for Fregosi.
	1:53pm glenn: charlie feathers? johnny burnette trio? i can't remember who did the original.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: When I saw Barry live, he had two ladies in giant champagne glasses... of course he did.
	1:56pm pacific standard simon: "I Love A Practical Joke" www.youtube.com...
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: wow, I don't remember this mp3 sounding this crappy
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael, I hope you don't run out of material before 3pm(ET)!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: material? I've got the whole nine yards.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: i'm back! is this the love room?
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Why? You want a massage?
	2:02pm still b/p: I might have seen a blonde in a blue four foot high martini glass with suds in it if I was in a joint in Boston's combat zone in about 1977. You know.....if.
	🛒 2:04pm Brian in UK: There ain't no sense sitting on a fence all by yourself in the moonlight. Those words are still true today.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: man, i recently had an overseas author use the term "massage parlor" in a manuscript where he probably wanted to use the term "day spa." i very tactfully suggested the latter while hinting that the former term has different connotations over here, esp. in or near big cities....
	2:06pm hyde: whew, i almost missed all of the love
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: It's boundless, hyde.
	2:08pm hyde: love is a conveyor belt of warmth, my friend
	🛒 2:08pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey HinkyDinkers..Unc M, you're makin' a true romantic outta me!
	2:09pm listener james from westwood: still b/p, is there anything left of said combat zone? it was just beginning to come under gentrification when i left college in the early 90s.
	2:10pm listener james from westwood: the days when i could be at a red light in boston's chinatown and see one guy chase, catch, and then start beating another guy with a length of industrial duct may now be in the past.
	2:11pm listener james from westwood: heh, the zone has its own wikipedia entry, even.
	2:11pm hyde: @ljfw it's all gone. there's one token club on lagrange. everything else is lost in the sands of time.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: That's very sad.
	2:14pm listener james from westwood: sic transit gloria mundi.
	2:16pm Michael: There may be 2 Hyde - not that I would know. =)
	2:17pm still b/p: Today you wouldn't know it was ever a zone of anything, certainly not of the tawdry, raw and dangerous. A lot of Emerson College kids live at its former edge, and redevelopment in and near it has recast it. It ain't all polished, but it sure ain't the Pilgrim Theater and Naked I.
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: although it has its pluses, i guess. one of my earliest memories of college is reading a story in the boston phoenix about someone in roxbury or dorchester (both then still rough in 1987) picking up used condoms around her building with folded paper plates. less of that can't be bad. ps. i miss the boston phoenix.
	2:18pm efd: ack-shawhn!
	2:18pm hyde: @still b/p the pilgrim was amazing! an ornate opera house turned seedy porno theater.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: "i love the nightlife" inevitably reminds me of the film "love at first bite." and pleasantly so.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Love and flies just bring me down.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: a webster's-worthy alternate pronunciation.
	2:21pm hyde: @Michael ah ok, two. i haven't been down that way for awhile.
	2:21pm still b/p: I was in the city at Thanksgiving and started to look for a Phoenix for listings, forgetting all about its unhappy folding. Strange thing is the smaller Portland version lives on.
	2:22pm ndbob: good one here UM!
	2:23pm Michael: I've worked nearby for some time and it's amazing to see the changes over the last 25 or so years. I worked in the Little Building for a few years and now it's an Emerson dorm.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Bob.
	2:23pm hyde: @still b/p the providence phoenix still publishes too, which is really odd.
	2:25pm pacific standard simon: [quick zip]
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: oh man, this jetsons song! been a while.
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: lot of good cuts on this collection.
	2:29pm still b/p: My eye doctor was in Little Building for years. A year or so ago I stepped in there to just glance again at the 1st/2nd floor lobby/arcade for nostalgia's sake and was surprised to find a security guard at a podium blocking nonresidents and unauthorized persons.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: It was very well done...love the Frente track on it.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Man...this is so stupid.
	2:33pm listener james from westwood: and yet it worked perfectly at a friend's annual halloween extravaganza.
	2:33pm pacific standard simon: Trying to sound sinister; sounds nerdy.
	2:34pm still b/p: He loves golf.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I totally bought this schtick when I was 13.
	2:34pm listener james from westwood: that also describes my friend's annual halloween extravaganza. gods i miss that.
	2:35pm pacific standard simon: Me too. Well, I was even older, sorry to say...
	2:37pm pacific standard simon: I hate myself for loving rock 'n' roll.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I like this better now than I did then.
	2:38pm pacific standard simon: Put another bullet in the jukebox, baby.
	2:38pm listener james from westwood: okay. i may be crazy, but i think the version of this joan jett cut now getting airplay on things like 101.1 in the nyc market is a re-recorded edition. it just sounds different, esp. the vocals here and there. this, on the other hand, sounds like the original. am i nuts?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Time to take a more serious turn...
	2:39pm efd: I always loved the drumming on this song.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: This song still slays me. Sonofabitch could write 'em.
	2:42pm efd: ("this" = the Joan Jett song)
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Wait...you weren't praising Russ Kunkel?
	2:46pm northguineahills: gotta go, seeya UM, enjoy the weekend!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: see ya, NGH...thanks!
	2:47pm pacific standard simon: Love the June Tabor cover of this, too.
	2:47pm efd: No, I was praising Thommy Price.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: I know...I was giving you the business, Beaver.
	2:48pm Mike East: heard the beginning and end of the show. Great stuff. I gotta more Billy Bragg....and Buzzcocks....and Nilsson...Goddamn, there just too much music and not enough dollars!!!
	2:49pm Mike East: gotta get more...ahem.
	2:49pm efd: okay, Eddie Haskell.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: I'm not particularly bothered that I'm not actually playing the version of this I meant to.
	2:53pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm glenn: the rich aren't like you and me. www.torontosun.com...
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks so much.
	2:54pm listener james from westwood: hey, we got flute, we happy.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: It's true -- the show has been a merry carnival ride.
	2:55pm listener james from westwood: flute and trumpet, i should say.
	2:57pm earrie: Good show; hope you don't wait til 2020 to do it again, UM.
	2:57pm duke: Thanks UM
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: looking forward to catching the 1st part on the archive, but loved the chunk i heard! a happy friday and/or valentine's day to all!
	2:59pm SeanG: great show dude
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: thanks everyone...take care!
