Listener comments!
	12:00pm pacific standard simon: Back in the game!
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: Gonna go round in circles...
	12:01pm pacific standard simon: Will Michael play THAT song...?
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: Damn, and I just put those extra-long-life batteries in the tractor!
	12:02pm Gary: Hola!
	12:02pm Parq: My entire work day in one gif.
	12:02pm still b/p: Nothing numbs like a Deere.
	12:03pm Guido from Cologne: Heya Michael! It's summer here!
	12:04pm Gary: Woo-hoo, the rockin begins!
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Hello!
	12:08pm listener james from westwood: Out of the gate like a Triple Crown winner, this show is!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, James!
	12:10pm Dominick: oh yeah baby
	12:10pm listener james from westwood: And why the HELL don't I own "Paul's Boutique" after all these years? My fault entirely.
	12:10pm pacific standard simon: Five years ago, I stayed in a cabin at the Bailey Resort near the top of Palomar Mountain, where the observatory is. The cabin was entirely decorated with John Deere collectibles, much to the embarrassment of the lady who maintained the place (the decorating was done by her brother-in-law). I think she was secretly hoping the guests would steal all the toy tractors and such.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: I think paul's Boutique is 25 years-old next month.
	12:12pm still b/p: Beasties won a million+ dollar judgment for themselves this week in a copyright case.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I only steal toy Allis Chalmers.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Somebody sampled their samples?
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: still b/p: Now that's fingerlickin, fingerlickin' good, y'all!
	12:14pm Guido from Cologne: 25 years of Paul's Boutique? Incredible!
	12:15pm listener james from westwood: Quid sampliet ipso samplodes? (every Latin teacher on the planet cries out in terror, then is suddenly silenced)
	12:15pm pacific standard simon: I haven't seen so much green and yellow since I was an Oakland As fan in the '70s!
	12:16pm still b/p: Monster Enregy Drink thought they had permission...whatever the hell that means...to use music in promo video, and the Beasties say oh, no, they didn't.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Those monsters.
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: Pre/contempo WWII-era songs working nicely on this D-Day+70.
	12:19pm listener james from westwood: @still b/p: Hoo boy, that's just insane on their part. New lawyers, please!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: I have nothing planned for the 70th...it was an accident!
	🛒 12:21pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Wilhelmina is plump and round.
	12:22pm pacific standard simon: Been listening to the Radio Swing Worldwide webstream a lot, lately. Don't know why it makes me feel good, at this late date, but it does.
	12:25pm northguineahills: It's not that I don't pay attention to lyrics, I just don't hear them until about the 50th time listening to a song.
	12:26pm listener james from westwood: Pretty sure I'd be a more or less constant mess walking through the various battlefields of Europe. I can't even read the Gettysburg Address w.o misting up. You can always do a 100th anniversary show for WWI come Fri, 8/1/14, altho' that might require an assist from MAC's trove of ancient recordings!
	12:27pm Gary: Yes, it makes me feel old, thanks for asking
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: "Ghostbusters" turns 30 this Sunday, too. Saw it in Washington DC on a class trip. Got mass-mugged the next day. Good times.
	12:29pm Lizardner Dave: So that means that the two vinyl copies of Paul's Boutique that I got for free at either CMJ or NMS and lost in Sandy were from the 1989 versions of those conventions. Huh, that means next year is 25 years since I graduated college. Well then.
	12:29pm pacific standard simon: James, he's been building up to that with the "Mademoiselle from Armentieres" covers...
	12:31pm Parq: I've gotten used to that 25-years thing. The current President of the U.S. is younger than me, and we just recently observed the 50th anniversary of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan
	12:31pm P-90: 私はジャSeazerための愛好家です。 DJブライス@ありがとうございます！
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: Cat got your keyboard?
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: I'm glad to see all of your bright shining avatars today.
	12:36pm pacific standard simon: My avatar will be at work before the end of the show.
	12:36pm Lewis: Did the tractor driver fall asleep or are they optimizing aerodynamics?
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I think he's looking for a lit cigarette he dropped.
	12:37pm Dean: "Spill the Wine"
	12:38pm pacific standard simon: Pass the Dutchie
	12:38pm listener james from westwood: Stunning past & present stuff from these live-update Normandy proceedings via The Guardian: www.theguardian.com...
	12:38pm Gary: Nice Stones, thanks! My GF's dragging me to the gym, but hopefully tune in when I'm back!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: have them put me on in the gym, Gary. i mean it. Dammit! See ya! :)
	12:41pm Gary: Actually, come to think of it, I can take my phone and still listen!
	12:42pm pacific standard simon: Michael, my boss got to hear you on the archives for the past two days. He called you a smart ass.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Exxxxxcellent.
	12:42pm PMD: Listening live! Is it honkey donkey time?
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: It is, PMD. SMARTASS??? Me?
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: I'd love to know what prompted that assessment, Simon. Whatever it is, it's working.
	12:46pm northguineahills: Can't get enough of Harpers Bizarre.
	12:46pm pacific standard simon: I don't recall the specific mic-break. I just think he's not used to non-commercial DJs.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Get him used to them!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Gotta do a Ted Templeman tribute one day.
	12:48pm Dominick: Got nits? I'll pick! Gemini Childe is on The LP titled "The Papas and the Mamas"
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: Working on it! He doesn't spend that much time in the kitchen, but he's been there this week working on stuffed pretzels. Usually I just annoy my co-workers with Fiveash mic-breaks.
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: My favorite Templeman production is Beefheart's Clear Spot.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Speaking of the Captain...up next.
	12:55pm pacific standard simon: Captain Beefheart and Tenille?
	12:56pm Dean: Gives a whole new meaning to "Muskrat Love."
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Licking off decals...nibbling on toes...
	12:59pm Dean: Nice. I feel like a randy new man.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: I guess this one is appropriate to the day.
	1:00pm Dean: Indeed. And who also had a hit with "Muskrat Love," hmmm?
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: America. Who wrote it, smart guy?
	1:02pm Dean: Er...not cheating, not revving up a search engine...uhm...one of the eponymous muskrats?
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Willis Alan Ramsey...and it's really good. From the only album he ever released.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: I may have played it on HDT...I think I have.
	1:03pm Dean: Darn. That was going to be my second guess.
	1:05pm Dean: This ain't your daddy's Grand Funk Railroad.
	1:06pm ndbob: @UM Yep - called Muskrat Candlelight I think - oneof the rare rodent love recordings
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Come on everybody...we're gonna have a good time...give me all the love that's in you. I'm a-gonna give you mine....
	1:06pm still b/p: While I was listening at the sink to Pocketful of Miracles, I was thinking there should be a term for that particular familiar period flavor of vocal/arrangements/studio style. And while Harper's Bizarre came to mind as characteristic practitioners, I didn't realize it was them. So now I know. 'Twas Ted. And for me, the style will be..."Ted." Learned at Hinky Diinky U.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: still b/p, do you think the broader term "sunshine pop" encompasses it?
	1:09pm Doug Schulkind: Yay, Hamilton Bohannon, yay.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: YAY!
	1:10pm Dean: The pinnacle of latter day "sunshine pop": the Alessi Bros. I dare you to play, "It's All for a Reason"!
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: A dare? Really?
	1:13pm listener james from westwood: Do I hear Ewoks?
	1:13pm Lewis: how about 3 hours of Bohemian Rhapsody covers?
	1:14pm Dean: As DC5 was winding down, Charles Pierce at Esquire's Politics blog posted this re: Tom Hanks: "Also, is there anything [more] white than being chosen as the guy to induct The Dave Clark Five into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame?" (I'd say, yes. The Alessi Bros.)
	1:14pm tikk: I like the tone of that stormtrooper head being played with a bone.
	1:16pm listener james from westwood: How about the version of Yub Nub that includes the Threepio rap midstream? @tikk: To quote Lenny in The Simpsons, "He's getting a pretty good sound outta that guy!"
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: He really is!
	1:19pm Mike East: Is it time for lunch yet?
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: It's fasting and prayer today, Mike.
	1:23pm PMD: I loved the Ewoks, btw. Maybe give the oompah loompahs some time.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: They have another riddle for you.
	1:26pm still b/p: "Sunshine pop " is good 'n suitable, although sometimes the sentiments in those numbers veer toward the melodramatically wistful and poignant...partly cloudy. And "sunshine pop" also summons up for me at the same time a different kind of gratingly wispy, hollow, forced, simpering, unappealing Top 40 efforts. Speaking of forced and hollow, I looked at 30 seconds of Having A Wild Weekend the other night and had to bail with a sneer. Maybe another try later, in a different frame of mimicry-patient mind.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I haven't seen it. I need to.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: this file has issues!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: gonna grit it out for 50 more seconds.
	🛒 1:32pm Brian in UK: @Lewis. Joe McGasko did it with Satisfaction. wfmu.org...
	1:33pm Lewis: @Brian - very cool, will have to give it a listen Thanks!
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: hasn't Ken f done bohemian rhapsody?
	1:34pm northguineahills: I think Lewis is referring to the time Ken did 3 hours of Bohemian Rhapsody. Halftime! hop and skipping over to Bryce. Thanks again, UM! Have a great weekend!
	1:34pm tikk: Sounds like a Schoolhouse Rock outtake
	1:35pm Lewis: yes - ken did it. It was joke that went bad and then couldn't be stopped. I was there!
	1:36pm Dean: That Nilsson box set is essential.
	1:38pm Dean: Wasn't Emanon that guy who was Slim Shady?
	1:38pm ndbob: I had never heard From Head to Toe until I heard the Motown Singles - never heard it when it was out
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Me either, Bob. I have the Costello 45...a b-side.
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: Uh-oh. The cat has discovered my arthritis cream again... Gotta go, have a wonderful show! And a weekend of whoopee. Or whup-ass. Whatever.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: See you, Simon.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Huffing arthritis cream is the best.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Another, lesser-known original version coming up later in this set. Brian will know it.
	🛒 1:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy HDTers. Been enjoying the show out in my lower 40 on this beautiful Bklyn day( actually yesterday was officially Brooklyn-Queens Day). Thanks for the ThunderClap & Randy, Newman...Sorry, hadda say that!
	1:52pm ndbob: and here's the original version!
	1:52pm efd: I know it too! :)
	1:52pm Doug Schulkind: Wow, Uncle Michael. Your show is so much better when I am fully awake!
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Yas!
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: It's better when I'm not.
	1:58pm efd: Interesting background on how "Brother Louie" came to be recorded by The Stories on this page: www.songfacts.com... About halfway down the page (or search for "Exuma")
	1:59pm Mike East: that guitar riff in Black Power...what do I know that from?
	2:05pm Doug Schulkind: Pronounced: Sih MAN da
	2:05pm Doug Schulkind: The first syllable is like the si in sit.
	2:06pm thedunkel: hey Uncle M - cant find the faceboook page to like - where is the link?
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Interesting stuff, Evan. Thanks, Doug!
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Like THIS! www.facebook.com...
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Shuggie Otis, age 15.
	2:11pm Dean: Wow, Moogy Klingman on piano!
	2:11pm thedunkel: liked - thanks UM
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: ...Sweet Jane...
	2:14pm Droll: UM, I'm happy to like you on FMU, but FB has to learn to live without me. At least you don't use an airhorn like that other guy... the guy who keeps trying to sing some "Ticket" song on every show. He sings like a drummer he's so flat... I think he's reached that magical age when his voice will drop.
	2:15pm Dean: Column confusion...
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: It's the thought that counts, Droll. Thanks for liking me here!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: This is one of my favorite peyote rituals.
	2:17pm still b/p: Thought we were in for a Hindu version of Sweet Jane for a moment here..."Jack, he is a Brahmin..."
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: First Peoples, not Hindu!
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Take my spoon?
	2:22pm Dean: When did the second column shift to Artist? Or is this Bloodwyn Pig singing "Badfinger"?
	2:25pm Doug Schulkind: Are kites really that much fun? Really?
	2:27pm Doug Schulkind: Some people will try to tell you "Sah-mahn-day," but that would contradict my friend Moses. And no one contradicts my friend Moses.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: I wouldn't!
	2:29pm efd: And all this time I've assumed it was sih-MAHND. Thanks for the lesson, Doug! And Droll, this is for you: www.youtube.com...
	2:29pm Dean: Thou shalt not!
	2:32pm scuzfink1: When I was 17 (I am now 62) I bought, at a junk shop, an eight track tape of "The Johnny Otis Show featuring Skillet and Leroy with Lawanda" on the strength of knowing Johnny was Shuggie's father. I wish I still had it, but I wore it out. It opened yet more aural horizons, especially Fred Sanford's in-laws.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Lawanda was a hottie!
	2:33pm Doug Schulkind: It probably really is "Sah-mahn-day," but my friend Moses is just about the coolest dude ever, and I can't imagine him being wrong about such a thing.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Me either, to be honest. I mean...his name is Moses...come on.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: EFD, BE HERE FOLLOWING THE MIC BREAK....please.
	2:37pm Doug Schulkind: Actually, his last name is Moses, but everyone just calls him Moses. (He's THAT cool.)
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Doing this show is fun. have I mentioned that?
	2:38pm efd: I'm not going anywhere. Also, I hereby declare this Billy Thorpe record as being from the '70s even though it came out in 1980.
	2:39pm scuzfink1: I dunno. It took him forty years to go a few hundred miles. The one time he asked for directions he came back with commandments, for chrissake!
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Those are very good points.
	2:45pm Guido from Cologne: Room set was cool not junk!
	🛒 2:45pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great shew & anudder FB like
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Who am I to argue? I ask you.
	2:46pm efd: ha, a classic!
	2:46pm Mike East: holy hell! City Boy! I literally just found out yesterday that I know the bass player from this group...he runs a rental company in LIC.
	2:47pm Mike East: we are picking up a split snake from him today.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: that's pretty cool Mike. tell him he got some Hinky Dinky Time lovin'.
	2:47pm Doug Schulkind: The Give the Drummer Radio stream has its own Facebook page, too. If you like it, you will get program announcements for all shows on the stream: www.facebook.com...
	2:48pm Mike East: just emailed him :)
	2:49pm efd: Crazy, Mike! They were British, right? Uncle Michael you've now joined a very small club, previously inhabited solely by John Allen and me.
	2:49pm Dean: Lake, the German band, would fit nicely here.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Good company!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: grab something tightly.
	2:52pm Mike East: yes, efd. he's got a sweet accent. If you call them up, you get a message: "for the rental dept. press 1, etc" - its his voice on the recording.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Who's letting the air out of this record? Cut it out.
	2:52pm Doug Schulkind: I went through a Lucretia MacEvil phase. It lasted for about forever.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: I love you, Doug.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm listener james from westwood: Where was this song back in March when I was in Vegas?!
	2:55pm Lucretia MacEvil: Love you too, UM.
	2:55pm efd: That's great, Mike. That single has been a fave since it came out. Over the years I've picked up a couple of their LPs but nothing grabbed me as much as "5.7.0.5."
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: DCT/BS&T for live.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: or life
	2:56pm Mike East: he sent me this link yesterday and commented on not being able to fit into the tight black leather outfit anymore www.youtube.com...
	2:57pm Cal Zone!!: Great set Unk Mike!
	2:57pm efd: oh snap, I see on the ol' Wikipedia that one of the guys from City Boy (not the bass player) went on to form The Maisonettes! I just played their single on my show a couple of weeks ago.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all for hanging out with me in my room...in my basement.
	2:58pm Guido from Cologne: ByeByeBye and ThaaanX sso mu ch 4 entertainment
	2:59pm Len: Beautiful show man!
	2:59pm scuzfink1: I used to be DCT's limo driver in the 80s. A talented fellow, but nowhere near so talented as he believed. That would have been humanly impossible. He liked me because I was fast and smooth and discreet. I never told him I considered his band not to have anything to do with the real BS&T.
	2:59pm Dominick: I look forward to each week's version of Last Thing. Thanks for another great show!
	3:00pm scuzfink1: Enjoy the weekend!
	3:00pm efd: Thanks Uncle Michael! Mike, just looked at the first bit of that video on mute - can't wait to watch it with the audio after UM signs off.
	3:01pm Mike East: Cheers, efd! Great show, Uncle Michael! Peace everybody!
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: Fab show, UM! Thanks a ton to you and Gary for a killer Friday!
	3:03pm Doug Schulkind: GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT... WFMU's Scott McDowell, host of The Long Rally (wfmu.org...), will be filling in for D:O Radio here on the Drummer Stream this coming Monday, 12-3pm. You can listen to the stream 24 hours a day, of course, but the next actual live human running the controls will be Scott at Noon on Monday!
	3:07pm scuzfink1: I didn't mean I didn't enjoy either Mr. Clayton-Thomas, nor his band. I'm as big a bozo as anyone, and I enjoy 'em all. I just meant it wasn't BS&T. It should have been the DCT Band or been a solo act.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 6, 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.

	12:01pm pacific standard simon: Will Michael play THAT song...?
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: Damn, and I just put those extra-long-life batteries in the tractor!
	12:02pm Gary: Hola!
	12:02pm Parq: My entire work day in one gif.
	12:02pm still b/p: Nothing numbs like a Deere.
	12:03pm Guido from Cologne: Heya Michael! It's summer here!
	12:04pm Gary: Woo-hoo, the rockin begins!
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Hello!
	12:08pm listener james from westwood: Out of the gate like a Triple Crown winner, this show is!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, James!
	12:10pm Dominick: oh yeah baby
	12:10pm listener james from westwood: And why the HELL don't I own "Paul's Boutique" after all these years? My fault entirely.
	12:10pm pacific standard simon: Five years ago, I stayed in a cabin at the Bailey Resort near the top of Palomar Mountain, where the observatory is. The cabin was entirely decorated with John Deere collectibles, much to the embarrassment of the lady who maintained the place (the decorating was done by her brother-in-law). I think she was secretly hoping the guests would steal all the toy tractors and such.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: I think paul's Boutique is 25 years-old next month.
	12:12pm still b/p: Beasties won a million+ dollar judgment for themselves this week in a copyright case.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I only steal toy Allis Chalmers.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Somebody sampled their samples?
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: still b/p: Now that's fingerlickin, fingerlickin' good, y'all!
	12:14pm Guido from Cologne: 25 years of Paul's Boutique? Incredible!
	12:15pm listener james from westwood: Quid sampliet ipso samplodes? (every Latin teacher on the planet cries out in terror, then is suddenly silenced)
	12:15pm pacific standard simon: I haven't seen so much green and yellow since I was an Oakland As fan in the '70s!
	12:16pm still b/p: Monster Enregy Drink thought they had permission...whatever the hell that means...to use music in promo video, and the Beasties say oh, no, they didn't.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Those monsters.
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: Pre/contempo WWII-era songs working nicely on this D-Day+70.
	12:19pm listener james from westwood: @still b/p: Hoo boy, that's just insane on their part. New lawyers, please!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: I have nothing planned for the 70th...it was an accident!
	🛒 12:21pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Wilhelmina is plump and round.
	12:22pm pacific standard simon: Been listening to the Radio Swing Worldwide webstream a lot, lately. Don't know why it makes me feel good, at this late date, but it does.
	12:25pm northguineahills: It's not that I don't pay attention to lyrics, I just don't hear them until about the 50th time listening to a song.
	12:26pm listener james from westwood: Pretty sure I'd be a more or less constant mess walking through the various battlefields of Europe. I can't even read the Gettysburg Address w.o misting up. You can always do a 100th anniversary show for WWI come Fri, 8/1/14, altho' that might require an assist from MAC's trove of ancient recordings!
	12:27pm Gary: Yes, it makes me feel old, thanks for asking
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: "Ghostbusters" turns 30 this Sunday, too. Saw it in Washington DC on a class trip. Got mass-mugged the next day. Good times.
	12:29pm Lizardner Dave: So that means that the two vinyl copies of Paul's Boutique that I got for free at either CMJ or NMS and lost in Sandy were from the 1989 versions of those conventions. Huh, that means next year is 25 years since I graduated college. Well then.
	12:29pm pacific standard simon: James, he's been building up to that with the "Mademoiselle from Armentieres" covers...
	12:31pm Parq: I've gotten used to that 25-years thing. The current President of the U.S. is younger than me, and we just recently observed the 50th anniversary of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan
	12:31pm P-90: 私はジャSeazerための愛好家です。 DJブライス@ありがとうございます！
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: Cat got your keyboard?
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: I'm glad to see all of your bright shining avatars today.
	12:36pm pacific standard simon: My avatar will be at work before the end of the show.
	12:36pm Lewis: Did the tractor driver fall asleep or are they optimizing aerodynamics?
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I think he's looking for a lit cigarette he dropped.
	12:37pm Dean: "Spill the Wine"
	12:38pm pacific standard simon: Pass the Dutchie
	12:38pm listener james from westwood: Stunning past & present stuff from these live-update Normandy proceedings via The Guardian: www.theguardian.com...
	12:38pm Gary: Nice Stones, thanks! My GF's dragging me to the gym, but hopefully tune in when I'm back!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: have them put me on in the gym, Gary. i mean it. Dammit! See ya! :)
	12:41pm Gary: Actually, come to think of it, I can take my phone and still listen!
	12:42pm pacific standard simon: Michael, my boss got to hear you on the archives for the past two days. He called you a smart ass.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Exxxxxcellent.
	12:42pm PMD: Listening live! Is it honkey donkey time?
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: It is, PMD. SMARTASS??? Me?
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: I'd love to know what prompted that assessment, Simon. Whatever it is, it's working.
	12:46pm northguineahills: Can't get enough of Harpers Bizarre.
	12:46pm pacific standard simon: I don't recall the specific mic-break. I just think he's not used to non-commercial DJs.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Get him used to them!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Gotta do a Ted Templeman tribute one day.
	12:48pm Dominick: Got nits? I'll pick! Gemini Childe is on The LP titled "The Papas and the Mamas"
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: Working on it! He doesn't spend that much time in the kitchen, but he's been there this week working on stuffed pretzels. Usually I just annoy my co-workers with Fiveash mic-breaks.
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: My favorite Templeman production is Beefheart's Clear Spot.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Speaking of the Captain...up next.
	12:55pm pacific standard simon: Captain Beefheart and Tenille?
	12:56pm Dean: Gives a whole new meaning to "Muskrat Love."
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Licking off decals...nibbling on toes...
	12:59pm Dean: Nice. I feel like a randy new man.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: I guess this one is appropriate to the day.
	1:00pm Dean: Indeed. And who also had a hit with "Muskrat Love," hmmm?
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: America. Who wrote it, smart guy?
	1:02pm Dean: Er...not cheating, not revving up a search engine...uhm...one of the eponymous muskrats?
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Willis Alan Ramsey...and it's really good. From the only album he ever released.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: I may have played it on HDT...I think I have.
	1:03pm Dean: Darn. That was going to be my second guess.
	1:05pm Dean: This ain't your daddy's Grand Funk Railroad.
	1:06pm ndbob: @UM Yep - called Muskrat Candlelight I think - oneof the rare rodent love recordings
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Come on everybody...we're gonna have a good time...give me all the love that's in you. I'm a-gonna give you mine....
	1:06pm still b/p: While I was listening at the sink to Pocketful of Miracles, I was thinking there should be a term for that particular familiar period flavor of vocal/arrangements/studio style. And while Harper's Bizarre came to mind as characteristic practitioners, I didn't realize it was them. So now I know. 'Twas Ted. And for me, the style will be..."Ted." Learned at Hinky Diinky U.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: still b/p, do you think the broader term "sunshine pop" encompasses it?
	1:09pm Doug Schulkind: Yay, Hamilton Bohannon, yay.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: YAY!
	1:10pm Dean: The pinnacle of latter day "sunshine pop": the Alessi Bros. I dare you to play, "It's All for a Reason"!
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: A dare? Really?
	1:13pm listener james from westwood: Do I hear Ewoks?
	1:13pm Lewis: how about 3 hours of Bohemian Rhapsody covers?
	1:14pm Dean: As DC5 was winding down, Charles Pierce at Esquire's Politics blog posted this re: Tom Hanks: "Also, is there anything [more] white than being chosen as the guy to induct The Dave Clark Five into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame?" (I'd say, yes. The Alessi Bros.)
	1:14pm tikk: I like the tone of that stormtrooper head being played with a bone.
	1:16pm listener james from westwood: How about the version of Yub Nub that includes the Threepio rap midstream? @tikk: To quote Lenny in The Simpsons, "He's getting a pretty good sound outta that guy!"
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: He really is!
	1:19pm Mike East: Is it time for lunch yet?
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: It's fasting and prayer today, Mike.
	1:23pm PMD: I loved the Ewoks, btw. Maybe give the oompah loompahs some time.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: They have another riddle for you.
	1:26pm still b/p: "Sunshine pop " is good 'n suitable, although sometimes the sentiments in those numbers veer toward the melodramatically wistful and poignant...partly cloudy. And "sunshine pop" also summons up for me at the same time a different kind of gratingly wispy, hollow, forced, simpering, unappealing Top 40 efforts. Speaking of forced and hollow, I looked at 30 seconds of Having A Wild Weekend the other night and had to bail with a sneer. Maybe another try later, in a different frame of mimicry-patient mind.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I haven't seen it. I need to.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: this file has issues!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: gonna grit it out for 50 more seconds.
	🛒 1:32pm Brian in UK: @Lewis. Joe McGasko did it with Satisfaction. wfmu.org...
	1:33pm Lewis: @Brian - very cool, will have to give it a listen Thanks!
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: hasn't Ken f done bohemian rhapsody?
	1:34pm northguineahills: I think Lewis is referring to the time Ken did 3 hours of Bohemian Rhapsody. Halftime! hop and skipping over to Bryce. Thanks again, UM! Have a great weekend!
	1:34pm tikk: Sounds like a Schoolhouse Rock outtake
	1:35pm Lewis: yes - ken did it. It was joke that went bad and then couldn't be stopped. I was there!
	1:36pm Dean: That Nilsson box set is essential.
	1:38pm Dean: Wasn't Emanon that guy who was Slim Shady?
	1:38pm ndbob: I had never heard From Head to Toe until I heard the Motown Singles - never heard it when it was out
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Me either, Bob. I have the Costello 45...a b-side.
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: Uh-oh. The cat has discovered my arthritis cream again... Gotta go, have a wonderful show! And a weekend of whoopee. Or whup-ass. Whatever.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: See you, Simon.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Huffing arthritis cream is the best.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Another, lesser-known original version coming up later in this set. Brian will know it.
	🛒 1:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy HDTers. Been enjoying the show out in my lower 40 on this beautiful Bklyn day( actually yesterday was officially Brooklyn-Queens Day). Thanks for the ThunderClap & Randy, Newman...Sorry, hadda say that!
	1:52pm ndbob: and here's the original version!
	1:52pm efd: I know it too! :)
	1:52pm Doug Schulkind: Wow, Uncle Michael. Your show is so much better when I am fully awake!
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Yas!
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: It's better when I'm not.
	1:58pm efd: Interesting background on how "Brother Louie" came to be recorded by The Stories on this page: www.songfacts.com... About halfway down the page (or search for "Exuma")
	1:59pm Mike East: that guitar riff in Black Power...what do I know that from?
	2:05pm Doug Schulkind: Pronounced: Sih MAN da
	2:05pm Doug Schulkind: The first syllable is like the si in sit.
	2:06pm thedunkel: hey Uncle M - cant find the faceboook page to like - where is the link?
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Interesting stuff, Evan. Thanks, Doug!
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Like THIS! www.facebook.com...
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Shuggie Otis, age 15.
	2:11pm Dean: Wow, Moogy Klingman on piano!
	2:11pm thedunkel: liked - thanks UM
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: ...Sweet Jane...
	2:14pm Droll: UM, I'm happy to like you on FMU, but FB has to learn to live without me. At least you don't use an airhorn like that other guy... the guy who keeps trying to sing some "Ticket" song on every show. He sings like a drummer he's so flat... I think he's reached that magical age when his voice will drop.
	2:15pm Dean: Column confusion...
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: It's the thought that counts, Droll. Thanks for liking me here!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: This is one of my favorite peyote rituals.
	2:17pm still b/p: Thought we were in for a Hindu version of Sweet Jane for a moment here..."Jack, he is a Brahmin..."
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: First Peoples, not Hindu!
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Take my spoon?
	2:22pm Dean: When did the second column shift to Artist? Or is this Bloodwyn Pig singing "Badfinger"?
	2:25pm Doug Schulkind: Are kites really that much fun? Really?
	2:27pm Doug Schulkind: Some people will try to tell you "Sah-mahn-day," but that would contradict my friend Moses. And no one contradicts my friend Moses.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: I wouldn't!
	2:29pm efd: And all this time I've assumed it was sih-MAHND. Thanks for the lesson, Doug! And Droll, this is for you: www.youtube.com...
	2:29pm Dean: Thou shalt not!
	2:32pm scuzfink1: When I was 17 (I am now 62) I bought, at a junk shop, an eight track tape of "The Johnny Otis Show featuring Skillet and Leroy with Lawanda" on the strength of knowing Johnny was Shuggie's father. I wish I still had it, but I wore it out. It opened yet more aural horizons, especially Fred Sanford's in-laws.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Lawanda was a hottie!
	2:33pm Doug Schulkind: It probably really is "Sah-mahn-day," but my friend Moses is just about the coolest dude ever, and I can't imagine him being wrong about such a thing.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Me either, to be honest. I mean...his name is Moses...come on.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: EFD, BE HERE FOLLOWING THE MIC BREAK....please.
	2:37pm Doug Schulkind: Actually, his last name is Moses, but everyone just calls him Moses. (He's THAT cool.)
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Doing this show is fun. have I mentioned that?
	2:38pm efd: I'm not going anywhere. Also, I hereby declare this Billy Thorpe record as being from the '70s even though it came out in 1980.
	2:39pm scuzfink1: I dunno. It took him forty years to go a few hundred miles. The one time he asked for directions he came back with commandments, for chrissake!
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Those are very good points.
	2:45pm Guido from Cologne: Room set was cool not junk!
	🛒 2:45pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great shew & anudder FB like
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Who am I to argue? I ask you.
	2:46pm efd: ha, a classic!
	2:46pm Mike East: holy hell! City Boy! I literally just found out yesterday that I know the bass player from this group...he runs a rental company in LIC.
	2:47pm Mike East: we are picking up a split snake from him today.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: that's pretty cool Mike. tell him he got some Hinky Dinky Time lovin'.
	2:47pm Doug Schulkind: The Give the Drummer Radio stream has its own Facebook page, too. If you like it, you will get program announcements for all shows on the stream: www.facebook.com...
	2:48pm Mike East: just emailed him :)
	2:49pm efd: Crazy, Mike! They were British, right? Uncle Michael you've now joined a very small club, previously inhabited solely by John Allen and me.
	2:49pm Dean: Lake, the German band, would fit nicely here.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Good company!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: grab something tightly.
	2:52pm Mike East: yes, efd. he's got a sweet accent. If you call them up, you get a message: "for the rental dept. press 1, etc" - its his voice on the recording.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Who's letting the air out of this record? Cut it out.
	2:52pm Doug Schulkind: I went through a Lucretia MacEvil phase. It lasted for about forever.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: I love you, Doug.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm listener james from westwood: Where was this song back in March when I was in Vegas?!
	2:55pm Lucretia MacEvil: Love you too, UM.
	2:55pm efd: That's great, Mike. That single has been a fave since it came out. Over the years I've picked up a couple of their LPs but nothing grabbed me as much as "5.7.0.5."
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: DCT/BS&T for live.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: or life
	2:56pm Mike East: he sent me this link yesterday and commented on not being able to fit into the tight black leather outfit anymore www.youtube.com...
	2:57pm Cal Zone!!: Great set Unk Mike!
	2:57pm efd: oh snap, I see on the ol' Wikipedia that one of the guys from City Boy (not the bass player) went on to form The Maisonettes! I just played their single on my show a couple of weeks ago.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all for hanging out with me in my room...in my basement.
	2:58pm Guido from Cologne: ByeByeBye and ThaaanX sso mu ch 4 entertainment
	2:59pm Len: Beautiful show man!
	2:59pm scuzfink1: I used to be DCT's limo driver in the 80s. A talented fellow, but nowhere near so talented as he believed. That would have been humanly impossible. He liked me because I was fast and smooth and discreet. I never told him I considered his band not to have anything to do with the real BS&T.
	2:59pm Dominick: I look forward to each week's version of Last Thing. Thanks for another great show!
	3:00pm scuzfink1: Enjoy the weekend!
	3:00pm efd: Thanks Uncle Michael! Mike, just looked at the first bit of that video on mute - can't wait to watch it with the audio after UM signs off.
	3:01pm Mike East: Cheers, efd! Great show, Uncle Michael! Peace everybody!
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: Fab show, UM! Thanks a ton to you and Gary for a killer Friday!
	3:03pm Doug Schulkind: GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT... WFMU's Scott McDowell, host of The Long Rally (wfmu.org...), will be filling in for D:O Radio here on the Drummer Stream this coming Monday, 12-3pm. You can listen to the stream 24 hours a day, of course, but the next actual live human running the controls will be Scott at Noon on Monday!
	3:07pm scuzfink1: I didn't mean I didn't enjoy either Mr. Clayton-Thomas, nor his band. I'm as big a bozo as anyone, and I enjoy 'em all. I just meant it wasn't BS&T. It should have been the DCT Band or been a solo act.
