	12:01pm duke: Prepared to be blown away
	12:02pm Jeff Golick: This ad was a meme before there were "memes."

	12:02pm Parq: www.gocomics.com...

	12:05pm Alex In Illinois: I remember this one on a War of the Worlds record
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: This is the sort of original version.
	12:06pm Santos L Halper: Ahh, nothing like a Hinky Dinky Day Off...let's ride, Bloom Countyites!
	12:06pm still b/p: Competitor tape -- Meme -orex -- also had some luck with something that stuck and stuck from the period: "Is it live or...
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Ella and the glass....
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Such a pleasure to have you all here.
	12:10pm listener james from westwood: 1970s sounding strong in this playlist, as on all HDT playlists.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I'm a product of my environment.
	12:15pm Alex In Illinois: I think the bassist is working harder than the guitarist.
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: no fair
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: I was in Vermont for Thanksgiving with friends many years ago. One evening over the weekend, we went to a bar popular with the ski tourists and there was this really awful ersatz reggae band playing the joint to wild whoops and hollers. It was the Hackney brothers. Had no knowledge of Death until a huge story came out in the New York Times a year or two later.
	12:21pm Parq: Doug, that may be the most bizarre "back in the day" story I've ever heard.
	12:24pm PMD: I can tell you are in live with her. You need to play the Rhode Island song!
	12:25pm Mary Jo: Good afternoon Uncle Michael.
	12:25pm PMD: Love that phrase: remnants of death
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Welcome, Mary Jo! RE$PECT
	12:30pm Doug Schulkind: @Parq I was floored when I read the NYT article. I brought it over to my wife and I said, "Hey, weren't these guys that crappy reggae band we saw?"
	12:30pm Alex In Illinois: In Chicago, we are so used to excessive political ads, that we tune them out. So all of the absurdly early political ads have made the current ones more ignorable. What I don't like are the robo calls we receive, especially the ones from Americans for Prosperity trying to get my father-in-law who died last year to register.
	12:32pm Mary Jo: AH you are funny...it was great to be there. C'mon dedicate a song to him...
	12:34pm Alex In Illinois: Anyway, what I was trying to get at was that the too-early political ads immunized us against the ones that are now playing.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: I haven't ruled it out, MJ.
	12:38pm northguineahills: Man, there is so much crap one needs to do in order to get one's green card after marriage, and that's just my side, she has to do twice as much (let alone the costs)
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: I've only seen one, when at the gym, on their TVs. I'm lucky in not having cable or listening to a lot of commercial radio, but I suspect the lawn signs for our local congressman, and for the poor bastard with the unenviable task of trying to unseat said congressman, will be sprouting soon. Plus I live a 4-minute walk from my polling place, and they plant the signs as close to it as they legally can, so it's a political Superfund site through early Nov.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: I can't even imagine, NGH.
	12:40pm Parq: Wow, the Spanish-American War really made an impression on those cowboys, huh?
	12:40pm Mary Jo: Mike, you have a really important neck and neck race going on in Kansas, I am sure it's nauseating.
	12:41pm Alex In Illinois: Songs with Filipino in their names? Hmm you might my favorite Tom Waits song.
	12:42pm Billy Bobby: Something so wrong, yet so right with this themed playlist !
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: We have three, actually. Gov. Senate. AG.
	12:43pm Mary Jo: Go BLUE Kansas PLEASE...or at least purple.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: no bed spring hog, Alex
	12:44pm still b/p: In the last verse, sounded like Ernest really told me to fill up Eno, didn't he?
	12:46pm Doug Schulkind: This set is dedicated to Daniel Snyder.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Does Snyder have an Asian ummm...yen?
	12:47pm ndbob: I used to have this 45 - but long gone
	12:48pm tikk: Any Mickey Rooney to fill this out?
	12:51pm Alex In Illinois: That was the song Uncle Michael. I like to plug my MP3 player into the electric Santa Claus, to that it looks like Santa Claus is singing Filipino Box Spring Hog.
	12:51pm Billy Bobby: Well you know what happens when you try to slip out... next thing you know you're buying Gerber Grow Up Plan!
	12:54pm johnk77: great work selecter Balin usually with a short a ala talon at least back in the day in the bay area peace+respecttodj
	12:54pm Doug Schulkind: Burl Ives named names before the HUAC. Fuck you forever, Burl Ives.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Ain't it the truth.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Doug, please never forget to mention that each time I play Burl.
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: Don't ever stop playing him, Uncle Michael!
	12:56pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! TGI Hinky Dinky Time!
	12:58pm listener james from westwood: Covering the Lone Star State, I see (or hear)!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: It would take a six-hour show, James.
	1:00pm Mike East: always a good time for Lee Hazlewood
	1:00pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm off to get a joint bank account. I'll holler later.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: hurry back!
	1:01pm Tate: Listening to you on the turnpike
	1:01pm listener james from westwood: UM: Keep that in the back pocket for the next double-wide fill-in for Doug! BBQ and Tex-Mex for all!
	1:02pm Billy Bobby: Joint acct with your wife or mom ?
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: I think Uncle Michael told of an account of sharing a joint with his Mom
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: No texting, Tate!
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Not I.
	1:04pm Billy Bobby: plop good1
	1:06pm Mike East: I'm in the middle of watching "Paris, Texas" - what a brilliant film...so far anyway...don't give away the ending.
	1:06pm Mike East: soundtrack by Ry Cooder
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Harry Dean takes a long walk.
	1:11pm johnk77: navasky's book naming names presents a lot of moral complexity i am not defending burl ives
	1:13pm ndbob: @Mike East in my top 5 all time films
	1:14pm johnk77: @mikeeast any rehearsals tomorrow? deadstein the last band tonite?
	1:17pm Doug Schulkind: I know Burl's story isn't black and white. I know I should be more forgiving. Sigh.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Stick to your guns, Doug.
	1:20pm Mike East: @jk - no and yes.
	1:21pm Mike East: @ndbob - It very well may make my list. I'm loving the pacing of it...wish I was able to watch it all in one shot, but life gets in the way
	1:22pm Billy Bobby: Squirt sound is grrreat !
	1:23pm Doug Schulkind: My guns are nothing if not eternally stuck, Uncle Michael. And I have an open-carry permit.
	1:23pm hyde: it's so nice out, i think i'll just sit inside and listen to this here radio show
	1:24pm johnk77: @doug At a Committee for the First Amendment meeting, Bogart shouted at Danny Kaye, “You fuckers sold me out.” Billy Wilder told the group that “we oughta fold.”[17] from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_blacklist personally i am a leftist having worked in the entertainment field for more than 33 and a third yrs i know walt disney was control freak and i did not like reagan even when he was a leftist ymmv @mikeeastroolz
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: hyde, you need to put your speakers in the window and share me with your neighborhood.
	1:24pm efd: This song is meeting my requirements.
	1:25pm Billy Bobby: I'm gonna hit the street for a Mason to make my own cold brew in.
	1:25pm hyde: @UM I guess it is Woodstock, after all
	1:25pm Billy Bobby: chuckles at hyDE
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: efd, I hadn't even considered that "bait" but then again, Pag
	1:28pm efd: Indeed.
	1:28pm SeanG: for a second I thought it was Pagliarulo--Pags!
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: It was, Sean.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: I submit that Pag never wrote another song in the vein of "Loving You Ain't Easy" that was a fraction as good. I keep looking.
	1:33pm Billy Bobby: silly sex music
	1:34pm Billy Bobby: My girlfriend the snake charmer!
	1:35pm Jack: Love it!! best Caravan ever!
	1:36pm Doug Schulkind: Kites aren't really THAT much fun.
	1:39pm Dominick: ALLRIGHT!
	1:40pm Alex In Illinois: If you use a hollow string reel for your kite string, and you have the full length of the line let out, then the reel acts as a resonator with the wind playing the kite string so you have a musical instrument, with cool sounds emanating from the reel. That makes kite flying much more fun and interesting. I have not done that in years, but if I do, I should try to record the wind song somehow.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Robitussin and elderberry wine?
	1:43pm Alex In Illinois: There is a Lomax recording of this song being accompanied by drum and cane fife. I think the track is just called "Chevrolet" on that collection.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: hmmm...I want that
	1:45pm Santos L Halper: Does the Lomax mention sugar cubes?
	1:45pm Alex In Illinois: It is on one of the CDs in this set, that i have at home: www.allmusic.com...
	1:47pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta run out and buy some leeks and prosciutto. Have a great rest o' the show, Uncle!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: This would be Scott, playing the bass on this, as on most of his records of the period. Thanks, Doug! Pizza night!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Alex.
	1:52pm PMD: So great to hear that Rare Breed song! glen Jones played it on the cruise back in 2010 (?) and it was so perfect.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: the original version!
	1:53pm SeanG: my own private idaho!
	1:54pm johnk77: just got great cameo reissue ohio express beg, borrow & steal friends of friends straight outta mansfield, ohio
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: sounds great
	1:59pm tikk: Public Jestering carries pretty stiff fines, must be executive branch overreach.
	2:00pm Stevel: Public something ending with an -ing, but no jestering.
	2:00pm hyde: the stupid bells on the hat always give you away when public jestering
	2:02pm tikk: Harsh federal sentencing guideliness add 5 years per bell. Plus, demotion to Fool, which is unappealable.
	2:02pm Santos L Halper: Go on...
	2:06pm efd: Now this is more traditional efd bait.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: I'm so down with the Jimmy and Denny Wings songs.
	2:08pm Dominick: Absolutely
	2:13pm Dean: Anybody remember the rumor that the guy sitting in the Memorex chair was Peter Murphy?
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Good rumor. I missed that one.
	2:17pm Mike East: wikipedia says it was him...in the UK ads, not US...Maxell, not Memorex
	2:20pm Dean: That's right. Memorex was Ella releasing a 400db 35KHz glass-shattering laser beam. My cassette of choice back then was Nakamichi, anyway. But I sure would love to have heard Ella scatting "Bela Lugosi's Dead."
	2:22pm hyde: i bought a lot of maxell c90 cassettes, myself
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: So did I. I was a mix tape maker and a live tape trader.
	2:27pm efd: "guys, we need one more song to finish the album. Anyone got anything" "How about this: a rock & roll band, made up of LIZARDS." ... and five minutes later they were recording.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: And you can't even hear Huey on that song. I think he split the scene.
	2:29pm johnk77: that was before Huey joined
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: that would 'splain it
	2:31pm Brotha Gregg: Mark Lindsay channelling his inner Donovan
	🛒 2:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm listening while I work from my mom's house & really enjoying your picks. Thanks. - crow from the Well.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I know who this is! Thanks! Crow is Rex' "Sweet Corn Lizzie." Glad to have your ears.
	2:41pm Dean: Firetruck
	🛒 2:46pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dave Edmunds doing one of my favorite songs that I haven't heard in a while! How did you know?
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: I have a way about me. A great little John Fogerty gem.
	2:49pm listener james from westwood: Wow, Sisters of Mercy! Very nice.
	2:50pm Dean: A later bass player in SoM, Patricia Morrison, used to work the cosmetics counter at the Broadway department store in Whittier.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I have a confession to make. I was "tripping balls" as the kids say, the first time I heard this track.
	2:50pm Stevel: Trying to remember if I've heard this cover before. Must have somewhere along the line. Very cool.
	2:50pm Robert: For years, hearing the most played recording of this, I thought the lyrics were, "Wha? Jesus! It's just a shadow, it's just a shadow."
	2:52pm Stevel: I would imagine this tune would work well under acidic conditions.
	2:52pm V Priceless: Cool show UM - thanx!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all for being here. Thanks, V.
	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Stevel: 1911-1983!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Fun times diggin' the tunes together. Thanks for coming.
	2:59pm Doug Schulkind: My bucket's got a leek in it.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Stick your pepperoni in it.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks muchly for the show, UM! A fine weekend to all!!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Wait...you said prosciutto. Nevermind.
	3:01pm hyde: thanks UM!
	3:02pm Brotha Gregg: Great show, Uncle Michael!
	3:02pm Stevel: Please, do not use prosciutto to patch your bucket.
	3:03pm efd: I meant to tell you, two weeks ago at around this time (though in the Pacific time zone) I was in a record store in Portland and they played "Albatross" on their sound system. It was weirdly confusing and familiar at the same time.
	3:05pm Santos L Halper: Thanks UM! Roses & Guns in CHI; love it
	3:05pm listener james from westwood: Leave a trail of crumbs back to the parking lot; they're labyrinthine!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: No shit. By friends...thanks for that anecdote, Evan. Ta!

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.

	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Such a pleasure to have you all here.
	12:10pm listener james from westwood: 1970s sounding strong in this playlist, as on all HDT playlists.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I'm a product of my environment.
	12:15pm Alex In Illinois: I think the bassist is working harder than the guitarist.
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: no fair
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: I was in Vermont for Thanksgiving with friends many years ago. One evening over the weekend, we went to a bar popular with the ski tourists and there was this really awful ersatz reggae band playing the joint to wild whoops and hollers. It was the Hackney brothers. Had no knowledge of Death until a huge story came out in the New York Times a year or two later.
	12:21pm Parq: Doug, that may be the most bizarre "back in the day" story I've ever heard.
	12:24pm PMD: I can tell you are in live with her. You need to play the Rhode Island song!
	12:25pm Mary Jo: Good afternoon Uncle Michael.
	12:25pm PMD: Love that phrase: remnants of death
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Welcome, Mary Jo! RE$PECT
	12:30pm Doug Schulkind: @Parq I was floored when I read the NYT article. I brought it over to my wife and I said, "Hey, weren't these guys that crappy reggae band we saw?"
	12:30pm Alex In Illinois: In Chicago, we are so used to excessive political ads, that we tune them out. So all of the absurdly early political ads have made the current ones more ignorable. What I don't like are the robo calls we receive, especially the ones from Americans for Prosperity trying to get my father-in-law who died last year to register.
	12:32pm Mary Jo: AH you are funny...it was great to be there. C'mon dedicate a song to him...
	12:34pm Alex In Illinois: Anyway, what I was trying to get at was that the too-early political ads immunized us against the ones that are now playing.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: I haven't ruled it out, MJ.
	12:38pm northguineahills: Man, there is so much crap one needs to do in order to get one's green card after marriage, and that's just my side, she has to do twice as much (let alone the costs)
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: I've only seen one, when at the gym, on their TVs. I'm lucky in not having cable or listening to a lot of commercial radio, but I suspect the lawn signs for our local congressman, and for the poor bastard with the unenviable task of trying to unseat said congressman, will be sprouting soon. Plus I live a 4-minute walk from my polling place, and they plant the signs as close to it as they legally can, so it's a political Superfund site through early Nov.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: I can't even imagine, NGH.
	12:40pm Parq: Wow, the Spanish-American War really made an impression on those cowboys, huh?
	12:40pm Mary Jo: Mike, you have a really important neck and neck race going on in Kansas, I am sure it's nauseating.
	12:41pm Alex In Illinois: Songs with Filipino in their names? Hmm you might my favorite Tom Waits song.
	12:42pm Billy Bobby: Something so wrong, yet so right with this themed playlist !
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: We have three, actually. Gov. Senate. AG.
	12:43pm Mary Jo: Go BLUE Kansas PLEASE...or at least purple.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: no bed spring hog, Alex
	12:44pm still b/p: In the last verse, sounded like Ernest really told me to fill up Eno, didn't he?
	12:46pm Doug Schulkind: This set is dedicated to Daniel Snyder.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Does Snyder have an Asian ummm...yen?
	12:47pm ndbob: I used to have this 45 - but long gone
	12:48pm tikk: Any Mickey Rooney to fill this out?
	12:51pm Alex In Illinois: That was the song Uncle Michael. I like to plug my MP3 player into the electric Santa Claus, to that it looks like Santa Claus is singing Filipino Box Spring Hog.
	12:51pm Billy Bobby: Well you know what happens when you try to slip out... next thing you know you're buying Gerber Grow Up Plan!
	12:54pm johnk77: great work selecter Balin usually with a short a ala talon at least back in the day in the bay area peace+respecttodj
	12:54pm Doug Schulkind: Burl Ives named names before the HUAC. Fuck you forever, Burl Ives.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Ain't it the truth.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Doug, please never forget to mention that each time I play Burl.
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: Don't ever stop playing him, Uncle Michael!
	12:56pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! TGI Hinky Dinky Time!
	12:58pm listener james from westwood: Covering the Lone Star State, I see (or hear)!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: It would take a six-hour show, James.
	1:00pm Mike East: always a good time for Lee Hazlewood
	1:00pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm off to get a joint bank account. I'll holler later.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: hurry back!
	1:01pm Tate: Listening to you on the turnpike
	1:01pm listener james from westwood: UM: Keep that in the back pocket for the next double-wide fill-in for Doug! BBQ and Tex-Mex for all!
	1:02pm Billy Bobby: Joint acct with your wife or mom ?
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: I think Uncle Michael told of an account of sharing a joint with his Mom
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: No texting, Tate!
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Not I.
	1:04pm Billy Bobby: plop good1
	1:06pm Mike East: I'm in the middle of watching "Paris, Texas" - what a brilliant film...so far anyway...don't give away the ending.
	1:06pm Mike East: soundtrack by Ry Cooder
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Harry Dean takes a long walk.
	1:11pm johnk77: navasky's book naming names presents a lot of moral complexity i am not defending burl ives
	1:13pm ndbob: @Mike East in my top 5 all time films
	1:14pm johnk77: @mikeeast any rehearsals tomorrow? deadstein the last band tonite?
	1:17pm Doug Schulkind: I know Burl's story isn't black and white. I know I should be more forgiving. Sigh.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Stick to your guns, Doug.
	1:20pm Mike East: @jk - no and yes.
	1:21pm Mike East: @ndbob - It very well may make my list. I'm loving the pacing of it...wish I was able to watch it all in one shot, but life gets in the way
	1:22pm Billy Bobby: Squirt sound is grrreat !
	1:23pm Doug Schulkind: My guns are nothing if not eternally stuck, Uncle Michael. And I have an open-carry permit.
	1:23pm hyde: it's so nice out, i think i'll just sit inside and listen to this here radio show
	1:24pm johnk77: @doug At a Committee for the First Amendment meeting, Bogart shouted at Danny Kaye, “You fuckers sold me out.” Billy Wilder told the group that “we oughta fold.”[17] from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_blacklist personally i am a leftist having worked in the entertainment field for more than 33 and a third yrs i know walt disney was control freak and i did not like reagan even when he was a leftist ymmv @mikeeastroolz
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: hyde, you need to put your speakers in the window and share me with your neighborhood.
	1:24pm efd: This song is meeting my requirements.
	1:25pm Billy Bobby: I'm gonna hit the street for a Mason to make my own cold brew in.
	1:25pm hyde: @UM I guess it is Woodstock, after all
	1:25pm Billy Bobby: chuckles at hyDE
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: efd, I hadn't even considered that "bait" but then again, Pag
	1:28pm efd: Indeed.
	1:28pm SeanG: for a second I thought it was Pagliarulo--Pags!
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: It was, Sean.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: I submit that Pag never wrote another song in the vein of "Loving You Ain't Easy" that was a fraction as good. I keep looking.
	1:33pm Billy Bobby: silly sex music
	1:34pm Billy Bobby: My girlfriend the snake charmer!
	1:35pm Jack: Love it!! best Caravan ever!
	1:36pm Doug Schulkind: Kites aren't really THAT much fun.
	1:39pm Dominick: ALLRIGHT!
	1:40pm Alex In Illinois: If you use a hollow string reel for your kite string, and you have the full length of the line let out, then the reel acts as a resonator with the wind playing the kite string so you have a musical instrument, with cool sounds emanating from the reel. That makes kite flying much more fun and interesting. I have not done that in years, but if I do, I should try to record the wind song somehow.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Robitussin and elderberry wine?
	1:43pm Alex In Illinois: There is a Lomax recording of this song being accompanied by drum and cane fife. I think the track is just called "Chevrolet" on that collection.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: hmmm...I want that
	1:45pm Santos L Halper: Does the Lomax mention sugar cubes?
	1:45pm Alex In Illinois: It is on one of the CDs in this set, that i have at home: www.allmusic.com...
	1:47pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta run out and buy some leeks and prosciutto. Have a great rest o' the show, Uncle!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: This would be Scott, playing the bass on this, as on most of his records of the period. Thanks, Doug! Pizza night!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Alex.
	1:52pm PMD: So great to hear that Rare Breed song! glen Jones played it on the cruise back in 2010 (?) and it was so perfect.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: the original version!
	1:53pm SeanG: my own private idaho!
	1:54pm johnk77: just got great cameo reissue ohio express beg, borrow & steal friends of friends straight outta mansfield, ohio
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: sounds great
	1:59pm tikk: Public Jestering carries pretty stiff fines, must be executive branch overreach.
	2:00pm Stevel: Public something ending with an -ing, but no jestering.
	2:00pm hyde: the stupid bells on the hat always give you away when public jestering
	2:02pm tikk: Harsh federal sentencing guideliness add 5 years per bell. Plus, demotion to Fool, which is unappealable.
	2:02pm Santos L Halper: Go on...
	2:06pm efd: Now this is more traditional efd bait.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: I'm so down with the Jimmy and Denny Wings songs.
	2:08pm Dominick: Absolutely
	2:13pm Dean: Anybody remember the rumor that the guy sitting in the Memorex chair was Peter Murphy?
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Good rumor. I missed that one.
	2:17pm Mike East: wikipedia says it was him...in the UK ads, not US...Maxell, not Memorex
	2:20pm Dean: That's right. Memorex was Ella releasing a 400db 35KHz glass-shattering laser beam. My cassette of choice back then was Nakamichi, anyway. But I sure would love to have heard Ella scatting "Bela Lugosi's Dead."
	2:22pm hyde: i bought a lot of maxell c90 cassettes, myself
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: So did I. I was a mix tape maker and a live tape trader.
	2:27pm efd: "guys, we need one more song to finish the album. Anyone got anything" "How about this: a rock & roll band, made up of LIZARDS." ... and five minutes later they were recording.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: And you can't even hear Huey on that song. I think he split the scene.
	2:29pm johnk77: that was before Huey joined
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: that would 'splain it
	2:31pm Brotha Gregg: Mark Lindsay channelling his inner Donovan
	🛒 2:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm listening while I work from my mom's house & really enjoying your picks. Thanks. - crow from the Well.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I know who this is! Thanks! Crow is Rex' "Sweet Corn Lizzie." Glad to have your ears.
	2:41pm Dean: Firetruck
	🛒 2:46pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dave Edmunds doing one of my favorite songs that I haven't heard in a while! How did you know?
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: I have a way about me. A great little John Fogerty gem.
	2:49pm listener james from westwood: Wow, Sisters of Mercy! Very nice.
	2:50pm Dean: A later bass player in SoM, Patricia Morrison, used to work the cosmetics counter at the Broadway department store in Whittier.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I have a confession to make. I was "tripping balls" as the kids say, the first time I heard this track.
	2:50pm Stevel: Trying to remember if I've heard this cover before. Must have somewhere along the line. Very cool.
	2:50pm Robert: For years, hearing the most played recording of this, I thought the lyrics were, "Wha? Jesus! It's just a shadow, it's just a shadow."
	2:52pm Stevel: I would imagine this tune would work well under acidic conditions.
	2:52pm V Priceless: Cool show UM - thanx!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all for being here. Thanks, V.
	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Stevel: 1911-1983!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Fun times diggin' the tunes together. Thanks for coming.
	2:59pm Doug Schulkind: My bucket's got a leek in it.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Stick your pepperoni in it.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks muchly for the show, UM! A fine weekend to all!!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Wait...you said prosciutto. Nevermind.
	3:01pm hyde: thanks UM!
	3:02pm Brotha Gregg: Great show, Uncle Michael!
	3:02pm Stevel: Please, do not use prosciutto to patch your bucket.
	3:03pm efd: I meant to tell you, two weeks ago at around this time (though in the Pacific time zone) I was in a record store in Portland and they played "Albatross" on their sound system. It was weirdly confusing and familiar at the same time.
	3:05pm Santos L Halper: Thanks UM! Roses & Guns in CHI; love it
	3:05pm listener james from westwood: Leave a trail of crumbs back to the parking lot; they're labyrinthine!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: No shit. By friends...thanks for that anecdote, Evan. Ta!
