	12:05pm pacific standard simon: @glenn - stubbed toe!
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks James...been working on that handoff with Peyton since he started his offseason.
	12:07pm Artie: Swept away on a freshening tropical breeze
	12:07pm listener james from westwood: does he still have that look on his face he had through half the super bowl? i thought eli had a monopoly on that look.
	12:08pm Gary: Awesome opener.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: The "Dad, can you come get me?" look? Yes.
	12:12pm Doug Schulkind: Sorry I forgot to link to your playlist in my comment, Uncle M. I was all distracted by the various excuses I could use to explain why I forgot.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Man, I sure can understand that.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: I pity anyone not hearing this track.
	12:16pm Stanley: Hi Michael. Rushed home to toon in. Now listening and swaying a little from side to side.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Hi Stanley...pull up a bean bag.
	12:17pm pacific standard simon: I pity anyone who can't find the Hinky Dinky Playlist -- even with BOTH hands tied behind their back.
	12:19pm listener james from westwood: oh, jay, you're gonna blow an o-ring doing that!
	12:19pm pacific standard simon: The radio edit of -- you know -- THAT song.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Jay needs more fiber.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: The Bonzos, Simon?
	12:21pm still b/p: Are those guys in the picture all riding on the family-size Segway?
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: I think that picture illustrates the value of the '70s man-perm.
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: One thing I appreciate in a true artiste is a fine appreciation of bodily functions.
	12:24pm pacific standard simon: My father had that curly one, to cover his thin spot.
	12:27pm pacific standard simon: Uncle Michael's guest DJ/broadcast partner during the marathon will be his milkman.
	12:29pm Gary: @PSS My vote's for Freddy the Flute
	12:30pm Gary: www.sidandmartykrofft.com...
	12:31pm Mike East: hehehe...Cluster Pluck
	12:31pm pacific standard simon: Gary, you're a sick man.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Mother pluckers.
	12:33pm efd: Clearly these gents are all graduates of the Kenny Rogers Quick-Pickin' Fun-Strummin' Home Guitar Course.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Yes...efd. Yes.
	12:36pm still b/p: Pluckwads.
	12:37pm Stanley: David Essex. Michael, you slay me sometimes.
	12:40pm pacific standard simon: There is a generation that adores "Rock On" -- other generations do not understand us.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: It's a centerpiece of my cultural life. A touchstone.
	12:43pm pacific standard simon: On one of the Playboy After Dark DVDs, there's a performance of "Hitchcock Railway" by Joe Cocker. He totally knocks it out of the park.
	12:44pm Stanley: Davis Essex and other 'top-of-the-poppers' just didn't cut it with us teenage cools back then. That said, nothing wrong with it from a forty years later standpoint.
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: There's the rub, Stanley -- I've never been cool in my life. I still have a VERY scratchy 45 of "Rock On".
	12:48pm Stanley: @simon - On Bell Records, if I recall.
	12:52pm Stanley: Maybe not.
	12:53pm pacific standard simon: If you think I'm going to rummage through my records to confirm that, think again.
	12:53pm efd: oh hello.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: heh....heh
	12:56pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of guitar obsessions -- much as I like a good Tele lick, mine's for chunky Gibson SG chords. Alice Cooper, Steppenwolf, things like that there.
	12:56pm Stanley: @simon - I got all confused with that other chart topper of the day 'Seasons in the Sun'
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: My obsessions change like the weather.
	12:57pm glenn: i'm sending you a great james burton track, pufnstuf dude.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: thanks!
	12:58pm Mike East: I think this is on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack. I like that Pharrell Williams
	12:59pm Stanley: Ooh, this is a lovely record I've not heard before.
	12:59pm Mike East: he had a song in the first one, too
	12:59pm glenn: hey, this pharrell is not bad. i have to confess that i don't hate blurred lines.
	1:00pm pacific standard simon: My memory wants to say RCA, Stanley, but who knows. I saved most of my singles from the '60s-'80s, but that doesn't mean I use 'em anymore.
	1:00pm Mike East: actually it looks like he did most of the music for those movies.
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: How far ahead of its time was this Kevin Ayers?
	1:02pm listener james from westwood: was briefly detained by a pair of my neighbors' dogs. we brake for pooches.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: detained and released?
	1:04pm pacific standard simon: Pretty far ahead. I keep hoping Jeff & Jeff will play "pisser dans un violon".
	1:06pm pacific standard simon: Is this the original? I've only heard Dr. Feelgood's version.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Yes...and the same was true for me.
	1:14pm listener james from westwood: released only after i gave them both a good scratching.
	1:15pm listener james from westwood: heh, a sid & marty kroft cut would be a natural. :)
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: I suffered a humiating stop and frisk at the hands of my cat last night.
	1:16pm Stanley: Earwig-o!
	1:16pm listener james from westwood: that cat was blatantly profiling.
	1:17pm pacific standard simon: I suffered a disgusting hairball ejection episode at the foot of the bed last night.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: did you find it with your foot?
	1:18pm listener james from westwood: to be clear, this was from the cat, right? :)
	1:18pm Stanley: @simon - you shouldn't lick yourself so much
	1:18pm SeanG: SWEET
	1:19pm pacific standard simon: Uh, yes.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: melody: thrice-cycled
	1:19pm Mike East: haha - like what you did there
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: thanks!
	1:20pm still b/p: Little stop and Little Friskies, UM?
	1:21pm listener james from westwood: my dog wasn't much of a regurgitator, but he was an inveterate scooter.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: he required more (cough) "expression."
	1:23pm pacific standard simon: @james - You should have tied a roller skate to his butt and driven him mad.
	1:24pm earrie: My dog was neither a scuttle-but nor a yakker. But I can still smell her undeniably-dog exhalations when she crawls onto my lap in dreams.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: That's so sweet. Well...not the breath so much...but...
	1:29pm pacific standard simon: Thought it was a Double-Jay show there for a minute.
	1:29pm earrie: When dog breath is the sweetest..
	1:32pm glenn: canada 1 u.s. 0.
	1:36pm Mike East: got it on in my office, glenn
	1:38pm SeanG: I wonder what's up with the Unabomber these days?
	1:40pm pacific standard simon: He's probably plotting against WFMU, for going all computer age.
	1:41pm SeanG: maybe he's tuned into FMU--hahaha
	1:46pm βrian: Love that fuzzy guitar voice.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I love dual harmonicas!
	1:49pm pacific standard simon: I think the dried banana peels are kicking in now.
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: The Joy of Cooking calendar tip for today is to always start bacon in a cold pan, to prevent curling.
	1:56pm pacific standard simon: Say, "make whoopee," Michael.
	1:57pm glenn: speaking of badass cats. www.cbc.ca...
	1:58pm still b/p: Permanent banana-peel-as-mind-altering-opportunity recall association: Don Martin cartoon page in Mad Magazine -- scruffy shirtless adult hippie scrapes banana peel material into fry pan, discards peel, slips on peel, smashes head, psychedelic visuals bloom from head.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Don Martin...man...my childhood...
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: PRODUCTION!
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: @still b/p - I don't recall that, but I believe you unquestioningly.
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: Why oh why did The Ramones not cover this?!
	2:04pm earrie: "CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP" www.madcoversite.com...
	2:04pm earrie: "SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAPE" "SWIT !"
	2:04pm jeff g: Hi.
	2:05pm glenn: because they'd have tried to play it at 4 times the tempo, and that would be wrong. just guessing. i don't really know.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! If there's a better copy of this track, it eluded me HARD.
	2:06pm ccrides: Very Tom Jonesyish!!!...:)O(:..
	2:06pm glenn: 1 -0. 2 minutes to go.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: It IS Tom Jones.
	2:07pm ccrides: No wonder!!!...:)O(:..
	2:07pm glenn: cross your fingers, earrie.
	2:08pm glenn: 15 seconds.
	2:08pm earrie: Wow. Canada meets Sweden for gold. Where's my Stiga table hockey game..?
	2:09pm glenn: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww.
	2:10pm pacific standard simon: Resisting the urge to post that list of Don Martin sound effects to Dave The Spazz's comments, now that he's brought comments back for the marathon.
	2:10pm glenn: that was my prediction this morning. canada -sweden, u.s.a. - finland.
	2:10pm Mike East: (colleagues file out of Mike's office, heads hung low, Mike resumes work)
	2:11pm ccrides: Nice fuzz!!!...:)O(:..
	2:11pm slater: awesome set, Uncle
	2:12pm pacific standard simon: Get the puck outta here!
	2:12pm still b/p: Our hippie friend got some bad dope about peely dope. "The Great Banana Smoking Hoax of 1967" www.museumofhoaxes.com...
	2:13pm earrie: Don Martin's sound effect for the Marathon: "ZIKKA ZAZZIK ZIK ZIK ZIK ZIK ZAZIK ZIK ZIZZAK" -Man Dialing A Telephone, MAD #231 June 1982
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: This track is just nuts.
	2:15pm northguineahills: I haven't said howdy today, 'hola!'
	2:16pm earrie: Search 'MAD #119' to remember a comic by way of its sound effects. "THWIZZIT!"
	2:16pm efd: aw nuts, can't believe I missed "Chills And Fever!" That'll teach me to go get lunch.
	2:17pm ccrides: is the New Zealand station on-line???...:)O(:..
	🛒 2:18pm Brian in UK: A-TOM-IC
	2:18pm efd: There's a great Youtube video of the Tom Jones solo version of C&F, with future Firm and AC/DC drummer Chris Slade just killing it.
	2:19pm still b/p: I like Martin's "FAROOLANA, FASHUNK" for the opening and closing of morgue cabinets. Make a nice name for a female celebrity.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: efd, do YOU have a decent copy of the Joe Meek Cold Chills & Fever?
	2:20pm ccrides: Let 'it' all hang out!!!...:)O(:..
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Yes, ccrides... google radio ponsonby
	2:22pm ccrides: Thanks, Uncle..!..:)O(:..
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: they're on ustream as well and they broadcast IN PUBLIC...in front of people!
	2:25pm efd: I don't, and for that matter every time I see a Tom Jones greatest hits record I look to see if C&F is on it and inevitably it isn't. So I'm still keeping an eye out for that one, let alone the Meek version.
	2:26pm ccrides: I'll have to check it out!!!...thanks for the info!!...:)O(:..
	2:26pm ndbob: I see I have a copy of the flip
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: My pleasure. Kris Holms knows his stuff...and he cam over and DJ'd a set at the Ponderosa Stomp last fall.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Holmes
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: the later Chills & Fever is on Youtube, efd.
	2:29pm efd: But I want it on a record.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Collectors...sheesh.
	2:31pm ndbob: and three tommy scott songs in all
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: which three?
	2:32pm efd: Well if I were a collector I'd just spend $200 or whatever and get it on eBay.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Keep in mind, there was a US rockabilly Tommy Scott and another UK Tommy Scott.
	2:34pm ndbob: checking something.. searching under tommy scott and the senators
	2:35pm ndbob: "time alone will tell"
	2:35pm ndbob: baby i'm in love"
	2:35pm ccrides: Somebody from FMU has to have that stuff?!?...:)O(:..
	2:36pm ndbob: looking for the third one
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I wonder what Popsike says Tower 190 is worth.
	2:37pm ndbob: ah only two - third is a duplicate
	2:37pm glenn: tommy scott and the senators would be american. they don't have senators in the u.k.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: well...umm...good point
	2:43pm pacific standard simon: Maybe they're ancient Romans?
	2:43pm slater: loved these Dickie Goodman's when i was a kid
	2:44pm efd: Starz!
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: such ez efd bait...hehe
	2:45pm pacific standard simon: @slater - then I guess you're gonna love the Hinky Dinky premium.
	2:45pm still b/p: Speaking of editing for fun -- did you see the thing an editor did for Fallon's show of NBC's Brian Williams' newscast words and phrases cut together to deliver Rapper's Delight? Pretty damn funny...a laborious effort with good payoff.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Why can't rock bass always sound like this? I ask you.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: I've skipped all the links to that because I didn't know it was made that way. Now I will check it out!
	🛒 2:47pm Brian in UK: UM good work on Albert Hammond jr? Overlooked? There was so much good pop when I grew up, I took it for granted.
	2:48pm ccrides: That was great still b/p!!!...They brought Lester Holt into the mix toward the end and really capped it off!!!...hehehe...:)O(:..
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: I liked Albert's singles as a kid but I had no idea what he'd written for other people.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Joe Meek was a visionary...a paranoid, tone-deaf, homicidal visionary.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Bob.
	2:56pm ndbob: gestures!!!
	2:56pm efd: have a good weekend UM, see you next week for the marathon. M A R A T H O N !
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: ayiyiyiyi!!!!!!!
	2:56pm pacific standard simon: Indeed. Always fabulous. Next week I'll bring my wallet.
	2:57pm still b/p: I would sweep the ice for you.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Evan. See you Wednesday after Gary!
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: I did not realise until reading listeners' comments and hearing DJs sets how much UK music was loved over your way. Perhaps it is only in the realm of FMU listeners. Hope not. Good luck next week. You'll love it. We love you.
	2:58pm ccrides: Talking about collectible vinyl...I've had a stereo copy of the album 'What Now My Love' by Mitch Ryder for years and years and had never come across it anywhere...last summer I found another copy at a garage sale...not quite in good as condition as my original but that really blew my mind, anyway!!!...BTW...never sell and decent vinyl on Ebay unless you state 'No Returns'...people like to make a ne copy off the analog stuf and then return it saying it was not as described???...:)O(:..
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Yeah...you lot have made your mark over here, Brian. Thanks everyone...see you next time!
	3:01pm duke: Farewell UM. Thanks
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: many thanks, UM! a fine weekend, all!!
	3:01pm ccrides: Great tunes, Michael..!..:)O(:..
	3:03pm pacific standard simon: Use a food mill.
	3:03pm Santos L Halper: Thanks UM! Enjoyed the comments and the bits I could sneak a listen to at work. Archives ho!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all!
	3:27pm Jeff Golick: Belated thanks for the fab show, UM. Was mostly listening via phone today...

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 21, 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.

	12:19pm pacific standard simon: The radio edit of -- you know -- THAT song.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Jay needs more fiber.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: The Bonzos, Simon?
	12:21pm still b/p: Are those guys in the picture all riding on the family-size Segway?
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: I think that picture illustrates the value of the '70s man-perm.
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: One thing I appreciate in a true artiste is a fine appreciation of bodily functions.
	12:24pm pacific standard simon: My father had that curly one, to cover his thin spot.
	12:27pm pacific standard simon: Uncle Michael's guest DJ/broadcast partner during the marathon will be his milkman.
	12:29pm Gary: @PSS My vote's for Freddy the Flute
	12:30pm Gary: www.sidandmartykrofft.com...
	12:31pm Mike East: hehehe...Cluster Pluck
	12:31pm pacific standard simon: Gary, you're a sick man.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Mother pluckers.
	12:33pm efd: Clearly these gents are all graduates of the Kenny Rogers Quick-Pickin' Fun-Strummin' Home Guitar Course.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Yes...efd. Yes.
	12:36pm still b/p: Pluckwads.
	12:37pm Stanley: David Essex. Michael, you slay me sometimes.
	12:40pm pacific standard simon: There is a generation that adores "Rock On" -- other generations do not understand us.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: It's a centerpiece of my cultural life. A touchstone.
	12:43pm pacific standard simon: On one of the Playboy After Dark DVDs, there's a performance of "Hitchcock Railway" by Joe Cocker. He totally knocks it out of the park.
	12:44pm Stanley: Davis Essex and other 'top-of-the-poppers' just didn't cut it with us teenage cools back then. That said, nothing wrong with it from a forty years later standpoint.
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: There's the rub, Stanley -- I've never been cool in my life. I still have a VERY scratchy 45 of "Rock On".
	12:48pm Stanley: @simon - On Bell Records, if I recall.
	12:52pm Stanley: Maybe not.
	12:53pm pacific standard simon: If you think I'm going to rummage through my records to confirm that, think again.
	12:53pm efd: oh hello.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: heh....heh
	12:56pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of guitar obsessions -- much as I like a good Tele lick, mine's for chunky Gibson SG chords. Alice Cooper, Steppenwolf, things like that there.
	12:56pm Stanley: @simon - I got all confused with that other chart topper of the day 'Seasons in the Sun'
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: My obsessions change like the weather.
	12:57pm glenn: i'm sending you a great james burton track, pufnstuf dude.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: thanks!
	12:58pm Mike East: I think this is on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack. I like that Pharrell Williams
	12:59pm Stanley: Ooh, this is a lovely record I've not heard before.
	12:59pm Mike East: he had a song in the first one, too
	12:59pm glenn: hey, this pharrell is not bad. i have to confess that i don't hate blurred lines.
	1:00pm pacific standard simon: My memory wants to say RCA, Stanley, but who knows. I saved most of my singles from the '60s-'80s, but that doesn't mean I use 'em anymore.
	1:00pm Mike East: actually it looks like he did most of the music for those movies.
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: How far ahead of its time was this Kevin Ayers?
	1:02pm listener james from westwood: was briefly detained by a pair of my neighbors' dogs. we brake for pooches.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: detained and released?
	1:04pm pacific standard simon: Pretty far ahead. I keep hoping Jeff & Jeff will play "pisser dans un violon".
	1:06pm pacific standard simon: Is this the original? I've only heard Dr. Feelgood's version.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Yes...and the same was true for me.
	1:14pm listener james from westwood: released only after i gave them both a good scratching.
	1:15pm listener james from westwood: heh, a sid & marty kroft cut would be a natural. :)
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: I suffered a humiating stop and frisk at the hands of my cat last night.
	1:16pm Stanley: Earwig-o!
	1:16pm listener james from westwood: that cat was blatantly profiling.
	1:17pm pacific standard simon: I suffered a disgusting hairball ejection episode at the foot of the bed last night.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: did you find it with your foot?
	1:18pm listener james from westwood: to be clear, this was from the cat, right? :)
	1:18pm Stanley: @simon - you shouldn't lick yourself so much
	1:18pm SeanG: SWEET
	1:19pm pacific standard simon: Uh, yes.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: melody: thrice-cycled
	1:19pm Mike East: haha - like what you did there
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: thanks!
	1:20pm still b/p: Little stop and Little Friskies, UM?
	1:21pm listener james from westwood: my dog wasn't much of a regurgitator, but he was an inveterate scooter.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: he required more (cough) "expression."
	1:23pm pacific standard simon: @james - You should have tied a roller skate to his butt and driven him mad.
	1:24pm earrie: My dog was neither a scuttle-but nor a yakker. But I can still smell her undeniably-dog exhalations when she crawls onto my lap in dreams.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: That's so sweet. Well...not the breath so much...but...
	1:29pm pacific standard simon: Thought it was a Double-Jay show there for a minute.
	1:29pm earrie: When dog breath is the sweetest..
	1:32pm glenn: canada 1 u.s. 0.
	1:36pm Mike East: got it on in my office, glenn
	1:38pm SeanG: I wonder what's up with the Unabomber these days?
	1:40pm pacific standard simon: He's probably plotting against WFMU, for going all computer age.
	1:41pm SeanG: maybe he's tuned into FMU--hahaha
	1:46pm βrian: Love that fuzzy guitar voice.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I love dual harmonicas!
	1:49pm pacific standard simon: I think the dried banana peels are kicking in now.
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: The Joy of Cooking calendar tip for today is to always start bacon in a cold pan, to prevent curling.
	1:56pm pacific standard simon: Say, "make whoopee," Michael.
	1:57pm glenn: speaking of badass cats. www.cbc.ca...
	1:58pm still b/p: Permanent banana-peel-as-mind-altering-opportunity recall association: Don Martin cartoon page in Mad Magazine -- scruffy shirtless adult hippie scrapes banana peel material into fry pan, discards peel, slips on peel, smashes head, psychedelic visuals bloom from head.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Don Martin...man...my childhood...
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: PRODUCTION!
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: @still b/p - I don't recall that, but I believe you unquestioningly.
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: Why oh why did The Ramones not cover this?!
	2:04pm earrie: "CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP" www.madcoversite.com...
	2:04pm earrie: "SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAPE" "SWIT !"
	2:04pm jeff g: Hi.
	2:05pm glenn: because they'd have tried to play it at 4 times the tempo, and that would be wrong. just guessing. i don't really know.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! If there's a better copy of this track, it eluded me HARD.
	2:06pm ccrides: Very Tom Jonesyish!!!...:)O(:..
	2:06pm glenn: 1 -0. 2 minutes to go.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: It IS Tom Jones.
	2:07pm ccrides: No wonder!!!...:)O(:..
	2:07pm glenn: cross your fingers, earrie.
	2:08pm glenn: 15 seconds.
	2:08pm earrie: Wow. Canada meets Sweden for gold. Where's my Stiga table hockey game..?
	2:09pm glenn: yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww.
	2:10pm pacific standard simon: Resisting the urge to post that list of Don Martin sound effects to Dave The Spazz's comments, now that he's brought comments back for the marathon.
	2:10pm glenn: that was my prediction this morning. canada -sweden, u.s.a. - finland.
	2:10pm Mike East: (colleagues file out of Mike's office, heads hung low, Mike resumes work)
	2:11pm ccrides: Nice fuzz!!!...:)O(:..
	2:11pm slater: awesome set, Uncle
	2:12pm pacific standard simon: Get the puck outta here!
	2:12pm still b/p: Our hippie friend got some bad dope about peely dope. "The Great Banana Smoking Hoax of 1967" www.museumofhoaxes.com...
	2:13pm earrie: Don Martin's sound effect for the Marathon: "ZIKKA ZAZZIK ZIK ZIK ZIK ZIK ZAZIK ZIK ZIZZAK" -Man Dialing A Telephone, MAD #231 June 1982
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: This track is just nuts.
	2:15pm northguineahills: I haven't said howdy today, 'hola!'
	2:16pm earrie: Search 'MAD #119' to remember a comic by way of its sound effects. "THWIZZIT!"
	2:16pm efd: aw nuts, can't believe I missed "Chills And Fever!" That'll teach me to go get lunch.
	2:17pm ccrides: is the New Zealand station on-line???...:)O(:..
	🛒 2:18pm Brian in UK: A-TOM-IC
	2:18pm efd: There's a great Youtube video of the Tom Jones solo version of C&F, with future Firm and AC/DC drummer Chris Slade just killing it.
	2:19pm still b/p: I like Martin's "FAROOLANA, FASHUNK" for the opening and closing of morgue cabinets. Make a nice name for a female celebrity.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: efd, do YOU have a decent copy of the Joe Meek Cold Chills & Fever?
	2:20pm ccrides: Let 'it' all hang out!!!...:)O(:..
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Yes, ccrides... google radio ponsonby
	2:22pm ccrides: Thanks, Uncle..!..:)O(:..
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: they're on ustream as well and they broadcast IN PUBLIC...in front of people!
	2:25pm efd: I don't, and for that matter every time I see a Tom Jones greatest hits record I look to see if C&F is on it and inevitably it isn't. So I'm still keeping an eye out for that one, let alone the Meek version.
	2:26pm ccrides: I'll have to check it out!!!...thanks for the info!!...:)O(:..
	2:26pm ndbob: I see I have a copy of the flip
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: My pleasure. Kris Holms knows his stuff...and he cam over and DJ'd a set at the Ponderosa Stomp last fall.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Holmes
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: the later Chills & Fever is on Youtube, efd.
	2:29pm efd: But I want it on a record.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Collectors...sheesh.
	2:31pm ndbob: and three tommy scott songs in all
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: which three?
	2:32pm efd: Well if I were a collector I'd just spend $200 or whatever and get it on eBay.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Keep in mind, there was a US rockabilly Tommy Scott and another UK Tommy Scott.
	2:34pm ndbob: checking something.. searching under tommy scott and the senators
	2:35pm ndbob: "time alone will tell"
	2:35pm ndbob: baby i'm in love"
	2:35pm ccrides: Somebody from FMU has to have that stuff?!?...:)O(:..
	2:36pm ndbob: looking for the third one
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I wonder what Popsike says Tower 190 is worth.
	2:37pm ndbob: ah only two - third is a duplicate
	2:37pm glenn: tommy scott and the senators would be american. they don't have senators in the u.k.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: well...umm...good point
	2:43pm pacific standard simon: Maybe they're ancient Romans?
	2:43pm slater: loved these Dickie Goodman's when i was a kid
	2:44pm efd: Starz!
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: such ez efd bait...hehe
	2:45pm pacific standard simon: @slater - then I guess you're gonna love the Hinky Dinky premium.
	2:45pm still b/p: Speaking of editing for fun -- did you see the thing an editor did for Fallon's show of NBC's Brian Williams' newscast words and phrases cut together to deliver Rapper's Delight? Pretty damn funny...a laborious effort with good payoff.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Why can't rock bass always sound like this? I ask you.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: I've skipped all the links to that because I didn't know it was made that way. Now I will check it out!
	🛒 2:47pm Brian in UK: UM good work on Albert Hammond jr? Overlooked? There was so much good pop when I grew up, I took it for granted.
	2:48pm ccrides: That was great still b/p!!!...They brought Lester Holt into the mix toward the end and really capped it off!!!...hehehe...:)O(:..
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: I liked Albert's singles as a kid but I had no idea what he'd written for other people.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Joe Meek was a visionary...a paranoid, tone-deaf, homicidal visionary.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Bob.
	2:56pm ndbob: gestures!!!
	2:56pm efd: have a good weekend UM, see you next week for the marathon. M A R A T H O N !
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: ayiyiyiyi!!!!!!!
	2:56pm pacific standard simon: Indeed. Always fabulous. Next week I'll bring my wallet.
	2:57pm still b/p: I would sweep the ice for you.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Evan. See you Wednesday after Gary!
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: I did not realise until reading listeners' comments and hearing DJs sets how much UK music was loved over your way. Perhaps it is only in the realm of FMU listeners. Hope not. Good luck next week. You'll love it. We love you.
	2:58pm ccrides: Talking about collectible vinyl...I've had a stereo copy of the album 'What Now My Love' by Mitch Ryder for years and years and had never come across it anywhere...last summer I found another copy at a garage sale...not quite in good as condition as my original but that really blew my mind, anyway!!!...BTW...never sell and decent vinyl on Ebay unless you state 'No Returns'...people like to make a ne copy off the analog stuf and then return it saying it was not as described???...:)O(:..
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Yeah...you lot have made your mark over here, Brian. Thanks everyone...see you next time!
	3:01pm duke: Farewell UM. Thanks
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: many thanks, UM! a fine weekend, all!!
	3:01pm ccrides: Great tunes, Michael..!..:)O(:..
	3:03pm pacific standard simon: Use a food mill.
	3:03pm Santos L Halper: Thanks UM! Enjoyed the comments and the bits I could sneak a listen to at work. Archives ho!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all!
	3:27pm Jeff Golick: Belated thanks for the fab show, UM. Was mostly listening via phone today...
