WFMU: Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 15, 2015

Listener comments!
	11:47am Artie Haywire: A vast pink emptiness filled the room...
	11:59am listener james from westwood: So, what's spinning on this side of the room?
	12:01pm duke: Hello hinkydinkarians
	12:02pm thatpatsmith: hey hey
	12:02pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:02pm Dominick: Hiya boobie!
	12:03pm Dean: Vive la révolution!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Uncle Human Radio Station!
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: Hi! Whenever I listen using the smartphone app, the transition goes smoothly without a hitch! The human radio station guy reminds me: have any of you ever heard any stories about people picking up radio stations on their orthodontic braces?
	12:04pm pacific standard simon: Shh... I thought I heard a noise!
	12:05pm βrian: You mean, like Susan Dey in the Partridge Family?
	12:05pm efd: Love starting my afternoon with a slice of Pie.
	12:06pm pacific standard simon: Forking good.
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Welcome Artie, James, duke, pat, Bob, Dominick, Dean, Doug, Alex, Simon, Brian, Evan...et al!
	12:07pm Parq: Humble Effin' Pie! If we'd known then what we know now about Frampton ...
	12:07pm Doug Schulkind: Is this song 3:1415926535897932384626 long?
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Hi Parq!
	🛒 12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - it doesn't like to brag...
	12:08pm doctorjazz: Hi all, Happy Hinky Kinky Time! (sometimes, as with Frampton, people need others to save them from themselves...)
	🛒 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - f yeah.
	12:09pm Dean: Actually, the circumference of the LP divided by its diameter is precisely the length.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Rev! Doc!
	12:11pm Alex In Illinois: @Doug: Ahhhahahahahahahahaahahaa! (I don't believe in acronyms, so a simply "LOL" just does not cut it.).
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: acronyms are real!
	12:12pm pacific standard simon: You could do a whole set of songs by different artists with Flo & Eddie singing backing vocals.
	12:13pm Listener Robert: Alex, it isn't hard for the components of a crude AM receiver to occur together accidentally.
	12:13pm pacific standard simon: The Devil is in the acronyms.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I could do that, Simon.
	12:14pm βrian: Don't confuse acronyms with initialisms, now.
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: I would like to do a thing. Thanks!
	12:14pm pacific standard simon: I built a crystal radio when I was a lad.
	12:15pm βrian: Et Al!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Do one, Jeff!
	12:15pm Listener Robert: I used to be able to hear something that was probably WCBS, WNBC, or the two mixed when I just touched one pole of the cable from a dynamic microphone to a radiator -- I mean a heating radiator, not a xmitting ant.
	12:16pm doctorjazz: Just wanted to say HI!!! The best!!!
	12:16pm Alex In Illinois: Okay, I will need to accept that. I just don't like to use them. I built crystal Amplitude Modulation radio, too, but I kind of cheated -- I bought a kit.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: I'm a human crystal set.
	12:16pm Dean: I'm partial to Al's brother Joe's arias, e.g., "Celeste Aida."
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: This is the thing I'm doing.
	12:17pm pacific standard simon: Oh, I did too, Alex -- Radio Shack.
	12:17pm Listener Robert: All it takes is a resonant circuit -- and just about anything conductive is resonant at some r.f. --, a rectifier (diode), & a transducer to audio. Demodulation is not essential.
	12:18pm northguineahills: You don't want to go to Jacksonville, believe me, I lived there until I was 18.
	12:19pm Dean: If I had a nickel for every time I said, "Demodulation is not essential..."
	12:19pm Alex In Illinois: Tis is the best version of "Are You Lonely For Me Baby" that I have heard. This AL Gree and the Bloodstone number have great bass guitar+guitar+everything groovemanship.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Hi, Listener Robert! Hi NGH!
	12:20pm Listener Robert: The diode can occur accidentally in the form of 2 conductors that are different in material or even shape. All it takes is a somewhat different resistance to one polarity from the other. Bring 2 dissimilar metals in contact, and due to galvanic action between them, it is likely for one to develop an oxide coating at the jct., & there's your rectifier.
	12:21pm Dean: Gilbert O'Sartre
	12:22pm Listener Robert: Transducing the signal into sound merely requires some part loose enough to vibrate. Alternatively, a spark can produce sound. So the story about dental work's becoming a radio receiver is quite plausible. It probably hasn't occurred as often as claimed, though.
	12:22pm pacific standard simon: Arlo Guthrie says there's one guy who has it worse than anybody.
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: Wait, let me grab my pith helmet...
	12:23pm Dominick: Loves me the Bert K.
	12:23pm Alex In Illinois: @Pacific Standard Simon: I got mine at the nearby Science Museum gift shop. I built an electric motor from a kit that I got there. I wish I had purchased a dissecting kit and a pickled tarantula to dissect, but by the time I has save up enough money for it, they had stopped selling it. Alright, I admit, maybe I was a little scared first.
	12:24pm Listener Robert: This is how I believe Mahlon Loomis accidentally created wireless. He ran up 2 kites on wires, like Ben Franklin, a distance apart. One had a key to ground, the other a spark gap to ground. He thought he was closing a DC circuit when his signal at one was received at the other.
	12:24pm Dean: Continuing the urine joke thread from Doug's show, you do know the initialism for Internet Protocol?
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: Urine big trouble, Dean.
	12:26pm pacific standard simon: Urine over your head now.
	12:26pm Webhamster Henry: One of those Silly 60s instrumentals like Java, Alley Cat, No matter what shape, and everything by Herb Alpert. I think that's another set of Rhino comps.
	12:27pm Dean: At least I'm not a pissant.
	12:28pm Dean: More Humble Pie! "Thirty Days in the Hole"!
	12:28pm Listener Robert: He didn't have the theory, but what he actually had were resonant circuits. Actuated by the sky-ground DC potential, r.f. transients were created when he made & broke the cx. These were then received at the other station. He noted that the kites had to be at the same height. Of course that was because then the wires would be of equal length, hence resonant. He thought, however, that he was tapping a horizontal DC current at that altitude of kite, with ground return.
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Howdy, Henry!
	12:29pm Doug Schulkind: I hope Uncle Michael plays some Urethra, frankly.
	12:29pm Listener Robert: He tried to sell his invention during the Civil War to the Signal Corps, but they weren't buying. However, a century later Congress recognized Loomis as the inventor of wireless on the basis of his patent at the time.
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: I once changed out an old CD/CD-ROM drive in my PC for a newer model that could read DVDs. I felt like frikkin' Edison himself. PeeC.
	12:30pm pacific standard simon: No more piddling around!
	12:30pm Dean: Enjoying the r.f. lecture, Listener Robert. Great stuff. Can you explain, though, why the capital of the U.S.A. isn't Washington, A.C.?
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: There's a vas deferens between this show and the one Doug's imagining.
	🛒 12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...radio is weird - & I don't mean FMU specifically...
	12:33pm still b/p: Waaait a minute now, just what kind of leek gets into Doug's pie with the goat cheese?
	12:33pm Dean: Jagger and Richards were hanging out in a bar. Keith had the gall to ask, "Mick, do you rate?"
	12:33pm Wilson K: Are you playing the real blues because BB died? I alway had a soft spot for BB but my less forgiving buddies are... less forgiving.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Hi still b/p!
	12:34pm Jeff Golick: Malted Milk = ?
	12:34pm Listener Robert: Dean, if it were Washington, A.C., then electric appliances would've had to be Eastinghouse.
	🛒 12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was reading about this radio stuff in this kewl book: www.amazon.com...
	12:34pm northguineahills: I've never heard of Roosevelt Sykes, damn good....
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: He probably has a wikipedia page.
	12:36pm pacific standard simon: I see that B.B. King has officially left the building.
	12:37pm northguineahills: @Jeff: Malk.
	12:37pm still b/p: Hiyu. Someone just fed me brunch so I feel fat and prosperous. Then I sawed a branch off a tree in the yard, like the fat prosperous people is always doin'...givin' nature a strippy beatdown.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Poor Jeff's never been to the malt shop with Betty or Veronica.
	12:40pm Wilson K: Whiskey my boy, whiskey
	12:40pm Wilson K: Or sterno'll do in a pinch
	12:40pm Jeff Golick: Betty all the way. Aha. Thanks, Wilson K.!
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Bill Fields, is that you?
	12:42pm listener james from westwood: Old shtuff working its charm this afternoon!
	12:42pm Jeff Golick: Gotta go meet a friend for lunch (not a metaphor). Thanks for all the music so far, UM, and all that awaits me later!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: See ya Jeff.
	12:45pm northguineahills: My favorite Toots track!
	🛒 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...woulda liked to hear Django jam w/ the Mills Bros. on that one...
	12:47pm Wilson K: My fave is either Pomp and Pride or Six and Seven Books of Moses but this is the shit. Toots is the shit.
	12:47pm Dominick: Herb Oscar Anderson used this one
	12:50pm Parq: Another reason why I live in an apartment.
	12:52pm Artie Haywire: A truly amazing voice.
	12:52pm still b/p: Stopped in at a little arts/performance center this morning to pick up some chairs, and the director had Yma playing.
	12:53pm pacific standard simon: Nothing says "Exotica" like a gopher.
	12:54pm Rich in Washington: Yma's Mambo! album gives her Miracles LP a run for its money in terms of sheer nuttiness.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: I'm playing the cheesy exotica that's not cool enough for Flash' show.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Welcome, Rich!
	12:56pm Rich in Washington: Hiya Uncle Michael! Sure dug that groovy 70s show last week. I turned my office-mate onto it and he immediately bought that whole Rhino series.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Who gets the commission??
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: That's pretty cool. Thanks, Rich.
	1:01pm northguineahills: I don't know, I'm pretty sure Flash played Arthur Lyman.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Yeah but far less cheesy Arthur Lyman.
	1:02pm Dean: Edmundo Sigur's dad?
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Edmundo Ros was all over the BBC is my formative years.
	🛒 1:06pm Brian in UK: Oh my, where are my manners. Good day, Uncle.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: with or without caterina valenti?
	🛒 1:07pm Brian in UK: Edmund Hockeridge mean anything to you folks?
	1:09pm still b/p: Taras Bulba...Tony Curtis as a Cossack and Yul Brynner's kid!
	🛒 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The original Italian movie Mah-Na? oh no...we sang it in church to pay our bills...it was Mah-Na from Heaven...
	1:09pm Rich in Washington: TARAS BULBA!
	🛒 1:09pm Brian in UK: Vast & Bulba
	1:10pm Rich in Washington: I taras bulba but then the doctor gave me an ointment.
	🛒 1:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...aslo tapered...
	1:10pm Dean: TAH-ras BOOL-ba: http://www.pronunciationguide.info/sounds/tarasbulba.mp3
	🛒 1:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...take 2...
	1:11pm northguineahills: Ougadouga!
	🛒 1:11pm Brian in UK: Cleats
	1:11pm Dean: No question: cacahuates. Spanish for peanuts.
	1:11pm listener james from westwood: "Trichotillomania." Feels like it should be in that "Bulbous Bouffant" piece.
	1:12pm Rich in Washington: Ointment is a pretty funny word, if you think about it. Also, filigree. Someone asked me if I did it and I had to look it up.
	🛒 1:12pm Brian in UK: Moist cleats
	1:12pm chromaphone: Verguenza.
	1:14pm still b/p: Bill Fields was mentioned earlier: "Don't you want to live in this beautiful nest, have a personal maid, wear a diaphanous gown, and eat regularly?"
	1:14pm Dean: Tourniquet, doorstop, toenail, envelope, waffle, vinegar
	1:14pm still b/p: Peshmerga.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: slipshod
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: My baby is as beautiful as a tourniquet. Tent.
	1:15pm Dean: All of the cheeses in the Monty Python cheese shop episode. And "episode."
	1:16pm βrian: Softly repeat 1000 times, "plaid, plaid, plaid …"
	🛒 1:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ooo monomix
	🛒 1:16pm Brian in UK: Spasmodic
	1:17pm chromaphone: vinegaroon
	1:17pm Dominick: and the far flung Isles of Langerhans
	1:17pm pacific standard simon: goober
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: diatribe
	1:17pm Dean: (I see that many of mine are culinary in nature: cacahuates, waffle, vinegar, cheese names, [toenails, if you're a biter]...) Froyd would have something to say about this, I'm sure. I was just thinking about the Isles of Langerhans the other day!
	🛒 1:18pm Brian in UK: Dean can I upgrade yours to episodic.
	1:18pm ...---...: detritus
	🛒 1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: couscous, feta
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: Pusillanimous
	1:19pm Wilson K: You walk away from the comments board for twenty minutes and things get really weird.
	1:19pm Dean: Permission granted. I'll replace the noun with "palinode."
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: phlebitis
	🛒 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: grits
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: really, really weird
	1:20pm ...---...: johnny unitas

	🛒 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Vitas Gerulaitis...I'm sorry to tell you, but it's incurable.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Bob. I didn't know you were a clinician, Brian.
	1:22pm Dean: Words we don't particularly like to say? Sidewalk, enclose, portion, ouch
	1:23pm βrian: Favorite name, for a printer, anyway: Wynkyn de Worde
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: Phlebotomist who can canulate. Two for one there.
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh I can - I'm always late.
	1:24pm βrian: @RR: isn't that a hair tonic favored by athletes in the 60s?
	1:24pm Dean: Word, βrian! That is a great, enduring name.
	1:25pm ...---...: torsion
	1:26pm βrian: Most popular lumber: tongue-in-groove.
	1:27pm Rich in Washington: Scotty is amazing. I love the 4th wall break-in on his Clean Race.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: I gotta check that out, Rich.
	1:28pm Dean: Surprising that nobody has nominated either "hinky" or "dinky."
	1:28pm Dominick: Nobody cares about the railroad anymore
	1:29pm βrian: "perseverate, perseverate, perseverate ..."
	1:35pm Dean: Did he say, "dunghill"?
	1:35pm Dean: Emitt Rhodes can help you off the floor.
	1:36pm Dean: Hippie music, c/o NYT: 'The 2015 version of the Grateful Dead is almost certain to be as much about today as yesterday, more hashtags than hash, less Summer of Love than summer of “likes.”' Ugh.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Good one, Dean. My face is on the floor.
	1:37pm pacific standard simon: Wait, wait, let me get the bong fired up!
	1:38pm pacific standard simon: Original title was "Acapulco Gold and Silver".
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: San Francisco Vibrato...
	1:39pm βrian: Reminds me of the WWII fighter ace, Dick Bong.
	1:40pm Dean: Everybody know Man's "Maximum Darkness" LP? Features Cipollina. Solid.
	1:41pm johnk77: trey is rehearsing jerry's part right now at @mikeeast and my workplace:>
	1:41pm Dean: Trey rehearses?
	1:42pm Dean: [joke]
	1:42pm doctorjazz: Someone was listening to "Take Five" a whole lot...
	1:44pm northguineahills: Man, you be crackin' today, UM! Time to scrounge up some lunch, thanks!
	1:44pm pacific standard simon: Always regretted selling my copy of Maximum Darkness -- the album cover was a beautiful picture of Cipollina's Gibson SG with the title lettered by Rick Griffin.
	1:44pm Mike East: @Dean - whatever you think of him as a player, I've actually been real impressed by his work ethic
	1:44pm Dean: Downey Records was an operation run by a guy in Downey, CA, who also had a retail record store, Wenzel's. What a store! Wall to wall oldies.
	🛒 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Phish are/were actually kinda Prog.
	1:47pm Dean: @Mike East: No intention whatsoever to cast aspersions on him. I don't know much of his work, really. (The joke targeted a stereotype of jam bands.) I do have "Surrender to the Air," which, come to think of it, I should listen to again soon. @pss: Yeah, me, too.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Forget Bob Brainen, we're In Fool's Paradise territitory!
	1:49pm johnk77: trey rehearsing very intensely for 2 months for additional john cipollina rock bands check out copperhead and terry and the pirates
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I try to encroach on everyone's territory. I'm an equal opportunity copy-cat.
	1:50pm chromaphone: When you are rich you can rehearse as much as you want :)
	1:51pm johnk77: super selecter @um big iron on yr hip
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Big Iron's my favorite Marty Robbins song.
	1:51pm johnk77: and live on the upper west side and vermont
	1:52pm pacific standard simon: I've listened to a lot of Cipollina's post-QMS work (saw Copperhead play live), but a lot of it is forgettable. And he worked with Nick Gravenitas WAY too much.
	1:54pm Wilson K: Can you possess a guitar in US prisons?
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...needless to say - if they made Country like 'Truck Drivin' Man' now, I'd love it...
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Yes. Ask Wayne Kramer! he has a great orginization called Jail Guitar Doors.
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Yes, but I don't think you can keep it in your cell.
	1:55pm johnk77: both copperhead and pirates rocked live nick gravenites only bandleader i ever worked with who did the gig with his revolver strapped in his shoulder holster:<
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Bobby Beausoliel has a whole band in prison.
	1:55pm ndbob: @UM my fave Marty song as well
	1:58pm Wilson K: I read in the UK prisoners are petitioning for guitars to be made legal in prisons—they don't allow them because of the strings!
	2:00pm johnk77: mario a great guy back in the late seventies john's half brother locals said chipoleena
	2:00pm Dean: The solution: air guitars.
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: __________, __________ went the air guitar doors...
	🛒 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wayne Kramer was folllowing Billy Bragg's example in the UK - so they must have some arrangement in prisons there...
	2:04pm Dean: That was a song by The Shush, right?
	🛒 2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've heard that in the U.S. if you're sending someone in prison a cassette, you even have to get kinds that have no metal screws in some instances.
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: Nico, baby!
	2:07pm Wilson K: Maybe it was steel strings specifically that are forbidden now that I think on it
	2:11pm Dean: Geez, imagine what they'd do with a claw hammer banjo! Or a hammer.
	2:11pm Stanley: Ooh, I like this, my kind of guitar action
	2:12pm Wilson K: Noodlesville. Sounds like Eddie Witch Hazel and Franco Falsini's drug-addled love child
	2:15pm pacific standard simon: I probably would have liked Sabbath if they were an instrumental band.
	🛒 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: I just want somebody to do something about the Cardinals.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: As soon as the Cubs win the WC game, they will.
	2:27pm Listener Robert: As a young person, I thought it was "groovy Tuesday", & thought it referred to the day of the week.
	2:27pm Wilson K: This is some unchained shit. And now I need a burger.
	2:29pm pacific standard simon: Goodbye, Howdy Doody, who could tie a string on you?
	2:29pm Eric: sounds like this song is a waste of Melanie's vocal talent
	2:29pm Alex In Illinois: What about ukuleles? Can they do much harm with Ukulele strings?
	2:30pm pacific standard simon: garotte
	2:30pm Pedro G.: Enjoyed that Melanie version of Ruby Tuesday. I hope she doesn't eat there.
	2:31pm Guido from Cologne: Don't worry I'm here!
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @LR: That's a Smithereens song. Melanie sounds like BuffySt.-Marie here: didn't know she had those pipes! W/ this, Jagger-Richards were as good as TheBeatles.
	2:32pm Wilson K: But they're hard plastic. If you garroted someone with a uke string, they might survive. Then again if my cellmate were always strumming the uke I might be tempted to try.
	2:33pm pacific standard simon: Bakin' cabbage in the hot sun I fought the slaw and the slaw won Can't take credit for that one...
	2:33pm Listener Robert: ~30 yrs. ago I heard someone on WFMU (I think) play, "I fought the law & I won." I don't remember what it was about, nor whether it was on a record or sung over the music by the DJ. Might've been Pat Duncan.
	🛒 2:33pm Brian in UK: The Clash were never a true punk band because they had such a broad musical horizon?
	2:33pm Dean: Ukulele strings have caused irreparable harm.
	🛒 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To be blunt - they're probably just as worried about inmates hanging themselves as anything else.
	🛒 2:34pm Brian in UK: PF Sloan?
	2:34pm pacific standard simon: @ Listener Robert - That's the Dead Kennedys version.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Sloan/Barry wrote it.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Barri?
	2:35pm Wilson K: Blunts are definitely allowed in prison.
	2:37pm Listener Robert: Thanks, PSS. I knew I hadn't just imagined it.
	2:39pm Dean: Goshdarnit. I can't listen at the moment, and I love this BS tune.
	2:49pm doctorjazz: I'd guess hanging oneself is the reason for the string restriction as well.
	2:50pm Dean: Do they allow accordions in jail? Bagpipes? Violas?
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: Metal guitar strings are also components in homemade tattoo kits, which are officially forbidden in jail.
	2:51pm johnk77: johnny gimble rip
	2:54pm Wilson K: The world accordion to Garp
	2:55pm Wilson K: I couldn't do jail w/o a guitar. So that's it. I'm officially not going to jail.
	2:56pm Dean: Break the law? It's a capella from here on in.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hanging out today, everyone.
	2:58pm pacific standard simon: Oh, you'll sing like a bird when the screws are through with YOU, Lefty.
	2:58pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: ALREADY?!
	🛒 3:00pm Brian in UK: Action packed show, Uncle. Music & comments.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: It's always a surprise when the show ends, now, without the old closing number! Thanks, UM, and a fine weekend, all!
	3:01pm ...---...: def. not slipshod
	🛒 3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM!
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all! See you next time.
	8:38pm Jeff Golick: Had to come back to finish up and also to see which day of the week was in the offing. Nice job. (No way I'd've played that.) (Though was thinking of that Brinsley tune for Monday!) Peace out.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 15, 2015

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.

Listener comments!
	11:47am Artie Haywire: A vast pink emptiness filled the room...
	11:59am listener james from westwood: So, what's spinning on this side of the room?
	12:01pm duke: Hello hinkydinkarians
	12:02pm thatpatsmith: hey hey
	12:02pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:02pm Dominick: Hiya boobie!
	12:03pm Dean: Vive la révolution!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Uncle Human Radio Station!
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: Hi! Whenever I listen using the smartphone app, the transition goes smoothly without a hitch! The human radio station guy reminds me: have any of you ever heard any stories about people picking up radio stations on their orthodontic braces?
	12:04pm pacific standard simon: Shh... I thought I heard a noise!
	12:05pm βrian: You mean, like Susan Dey in the Partridge Family?
	12:05pm efd: Love starting my afternoon with a slice of Pie.
	12:06pm pacific standard simon: Forking good.
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Welcome Artie, James, duke, pat, Bob, Dominick, Dean, Doug, Alex, Simon, Brian, Evan...et al!
	12:07pm Parq: Humble Effin' Pie! If we'd known then what we know now about Frampton ...
	12:07pm Doug Schulkind: Is this song 3:1415926535897932384626 long?
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Hi Parq!
	🛒 12:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - it doesn't like to brag...
	12:08pm doctorjazz: Hi all, Happy Hinky Kinky Time! (sometimes, as with Frampton, people need others to save them from themselves...)
	🛒 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - f yeah.
	12:09pm Dean: Actually, the circumference of the LP divided by its diameter is precisely the length.
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Rev! Doc!
	12:11pm Alex In Illinois: @Doug: Ahhhahahahahahahahaahahaa! (I don't believe in acronyms, so a simply "LOL" just does not cut it.).
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: acronyms are real!
	12:12pm pacific standard simon: You could do a whole set of songs by different artists with Flo & Eddie singing backing vocals.
	12:13pm Listener Robert: Alex, it isn't hard for the components of a crude AM receiver to occur together accidentally.
	12:13pm pacific standard simon: The Devil is in the acronyms.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I could do that, Simon.
	12:14pm βrian: Don't confuse acronyms with initialisms, now.
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: I would like to do a thing. Thanks!
	12:14pm pacific standard simon: I built a crystal radio when I was a lad.
	12:15pm βrian: Et Al!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Do one, Jeff!
	12:15pm Listener Robert: I used to be able to hear something that was probably WCBS, WNBC, or the two mixed when I just touched one pole of the cable from a dynamic microphone to a radiator -- I mean a heating radiator, not a xmitting ant.
	12:16pm doctorjazz: Just wanted to say HI!!! The best!!!
	12:16pm Alex In Illinois: Okay, I will need to accept that. I just don't like to use them. I built crystal Amplitude Modulation radio, too, but I kind of cheated -- I bought a kit.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: I'm a human crystal set.
	12:16pm Dean: I'm partial to Al's brother Joe's arias, e.g., "Celeste Aida."
	12:17pm Jeff Golick: This is the thing I'm doing.
	12:17pm pacific standard simon: Oh, I did too, Alex -- Radio Shack.
	12:17pm Listener Robert: All it takes is a resonant circuit -- and just about anything conductive is resonant at some r.f. --, a rectifier (diode), & a transducer to audio. Demodulation is not essential.
	12:18pm northguineahills: You don't want to go to Jacksonville, believe me, I lived there until I was 18.
	12:19pm Dean: If I had a nickel for every time I said, "Demodulation is not essential..."
	12:19pm Alex In Illinois: Tis is the best version of "Are You Lonely For Me Baby" that I have heard. This AL Gree and the Bloodstone number have great bass guitar+guitar+everything groovemanship.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Hi, Listener Robert! Hi NGH!
	12:20pm Listener Robert: The diode can occur accidentally in the form of 2 conductors that are different in material or even shape. All it takes is a somewhat different resistance to one polarity from the other. Bring 2 dissimilar metals in contact, and due to galvanic action between them, it is likely for one to develop an oxide coating at the jct., & there's your rectifier.
	12:21pm Dean: Gilbert O'Sartre
	12:22pm Listener Robert: Transducing the signal into sound merely requires some part loose enough to vibrate. Alternatively, a spark can produce sound. So the story about dental work's becoming a radio receiver is quite plausible. It probably hasn't occurred as often as claimed, though.
	12:22pm pacific standard simon: Arlo Guthrie says there's one guy who has it worse than anybody.
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: Wait, let me grab my pith helmet...
	12:23pm Dominick: Loves me the Bert K.
	12:23pm Alex In Illinois: @Pacific Standard Simon: I got mine at the nearby Science Museum gift shop. I built an electric motor from a kit that I got there. I wish I had purchased a dissecting kit and a pickled tarantula to dissect, but by the time I has save up enough money for it, they had stopped selling it. Alright, I admit, maybe I was a little scared first.
	12:24pm Listener Robert: This is how I believe Mahlon Loomis accidentally created wireless. He ran up 2 kites on wires, like Ben Franklin, a distance apart. One had a key to ground, the other a spark gap to ground. He thought he was closing a DC circuit when his signal at one was received at the other.
	12:24pm Dean: Continuing the urine joke thread from Doug's show, you do know the initialism for Internet Protocol?
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: Urine big trouble, Dean.
	12:26pm pacific standard simon: Urine over your head now.
	12:26pm Webhamster Henry: One of those Silly 60s instrumentals like Java, Alley Cat, No matter what shape, and everything by Herb Alpert. I think that's another set of Rhino comps.
	12:27pm Dean: At least I'm not a pissant.
	12:28pm Dean: More Humble Pie! "Thirty Days in the Hole"!
	12:28pm Listener Robert: He didn't have the theory, but what he actually had were resonant circuits. Actuated by the sky-ground DC potential, r.f. transients were created when he made & broke the cx. These were then received at the other station. He noted that the kites had to be at the same height. Of course that was because then the wires would be of equal length, hence resonant. He thought, however, that he was tapping a horizontal DC current at that altitude of kite, with ground return.
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Howdy, Henry!
	12:29pm Doug Schulkind: I hope Uncle Michael plays some Urethra, frankly.
	12:29pm Listener Robert: He tried to sell his invention during the Civil War to the Signal Corps, but they weren't buying. However, a century later Congress recognized Loomis as the inventor of wireless on the basis of his patent at the time.
	12:29pm Jeff Golick: I once changed out an old CD/CD-ROM drive in my PC for a newer model that could read DVDs. I felt like frikkin' Edison himself. PeeC.
	12:30pm pacific standard simon: No more piddling around!
	12:30pm Dean: Enjoying the r.f. lecture, Listener Robert. Great stuff. Can you explain, though, why the capital of the U.S.A. isn't Washington, A.C.?
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: There's a vas deferens between this show and the one Doug's imagining.
	🛒 12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...radio is weird - & I don't mean FMU specifically...
	12:33pm still b/p: Waaait a minute now, just what kind of leek gets into Doug's pie with the goat cheese?
	12:33pm Dean: Jagger and Richards were hanging out in a bar. Keith had the gall to ask, "Mick, do you rate?"
	12:33pm Wilson K: Are you playing the real blues because BB died? I alway had a soft spot for BB but my less forgiving buddies are... less forgiving.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Hi still b/p!
	12:34pm Jeff Golick: Malted Milk = ?
	12:34pm Listener Robert: Dean, if it were Washington, A.C., then electric appliances would've had to be Eastinghouse.
	🛒 12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was reading about this radio stuff in this kewl book: www.amazon.com...
	12:34pm northguineahills: I've never heard of Roosevelt Sykes, damn good....
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: He probably has a wikipedia page.
	12:36pm pacific standard simon: I see that B.B. King has officially left the building.
	12:37pm northguineahills: @Jeff: Malk.
	12:37pm still b/p: Hiyu. Someone just fed me brunch so I feel fat and prosperous. Then I sawed a branch off a tree in the yard, like the fat prosperous people is always doin'...givin' nature a strippy beatdown.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Poor Jeff's never been to the malt shop with Betty or Veronica.
	12:40pm Wilson K: Whiskey my boy, whiskey
	12:40pm Wilson K: Or sterno'll do in a pinch
	12:40pm Jeff Golick: Betty all the way. Aha. Thanks, Wilson K.!
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Bill Fields, is that you?
	12:42pm listener james from westwood: Old shtuff working its charm this afternoon!
	12:42pm Jeff Golick: Gotta go meet a friend for lunch (not a metaphor). Thanks for all the music so far, UM, and all that awaits me later!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: See ya Jeff.
	12:45pm northguineahills: My favorite Toots track!
	🛒 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...woulda liked to hear Django jam w/ the Mills Bros. on that one...
	12:47pm Wilson K: My fave is either Pomp and Pride or Six and Seven Books of Moses but this is the shit. Toots is the shit.
	12:47pm Dominick: Herb Oscar Anderson used this one
	12:50pm Parq: Another reason why I live in an apartment.
	12:52pm Artie Haywire: A truly amazing voice.
	12:52pm still b/p: Stopped in at a little arts/performance center this morning to pick up some chairs, and the director had Yma playing.
	12:53pm pacific standard simon: Nothing says "Exotica" like a gopher.
	12:54pm Rich in Washington: Yma's Mambo! album gives her Miracles LP a run for its money in terms of sheer nuttiness.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: I'm playing the cheesy exotica that's not cool enough for Flash' show.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Welcome, Rich!
	12:56pm Rich in Washington: Hiya Uncle Michael! Sure dug that groovy 70s show last week. I turned my office-mate onto it and he immediately bought that whole Rhino series.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Who gets the commission??
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: That's pretty cool. Thanks, Rich.
	1:01pm northguineahills: I don't know, I'm pretty sure Flash played Arthur Lyman.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Yeah but far less cheesy Arthur Lyman.
	1:02pm Dean: Edmundo Sigur's dad?
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Edmundo Ros was all over the BBC is my formative years.
	🛒 1:06pm Brian in UK: Oh my, where are my manners. Good day, Uncle.

	1:17pm Uncle Michael: diatribe
	1:17pm Dean: (I see that many of mine are culinary in nature: cacahuates, waffle, vinegar, cheese names, [toenails, if you're a biter]...) Froyd would have something to say about this, I'm sure. I was just thinking about the Isles of Langerhans the other day!

	1:47pm Dean: @Mike East: No intention whatsoever to cast aspersions on him. I don't know much of his work, really. (The joke targeted a stereotype of jam bands.) I do have "Surrender to the Air," which, come to think of it, I should listen to again soon. @pss: Yeah, me, too.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Forget Bob Brainen, we're In Fool's Paradise territitory!
	1:49pm johnk77: trey rehearsing very intensely for 2 months for additional john cipollina rock bands check out copperhead and terry and the pirates
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I try to encroach on everyone's territory. I'm an equal opportunity copy-cat.
	1:50pm chromaphone: When you are rich you can rehearse as much as you want :)
	1:51pm johnk77: super selecter @um big iron on yr hip
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Big Iron's my favorite Marty Robbins song.
	1:51pm johnk77: and live on the upper west side and vermont
	1:52pm pacific standard simon: I've listened to a lot of Cipollina's post-QMS work (saw Copperhead play live), but a lot of it is forgettable. And he worked with Nick Gravenitas WAY too much.
	1:54pm Wilson K: Can you possess a guitar in US prisons?
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...needless to say - if they made Country like 'Truck Drivin' Man' now, I'd love it...
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Yes. Ask Wayne Kramer! he has a great orginization called Jail Guitar Doors.
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Yes, but I don't think you can keep it in your cell.
	1:55pm johnk77: both copperhead and pirates rocked live nick gravenites only bandleader i ever worked with who did the gig with his revolver strapped in his shoulder holster:<
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Bobby Beausoliel has a whole band in prison.
	1:55pm ndbob: @UM my fave Marty song as well
	1:58pm Wilson K: I read in the UK prisoners are petitioning for guitars to be made legal in prisons—they don't allow them because of the strings!
	2:00pm johnk77: mario a great guy back in the late seventies john's half brother locals said chipoleena
	2:00pm Dean: The solution: air guitars.
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: __________, __________ went the air guitar doors...
	🛒 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wayne Kramer was folllowing Billy Bragg's example in the UK - so they must have some arrangement in prisons there...
	2:04pm Dean: That was a song by The Shush, right?
	🛒 2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I've heard that in the U.S. if you're sending someone in prison a cassette, you even have to get kinds that have no metal screws in some instances.
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: Nico, baby!
	2:07pm Wilson K: Maybe it was steel strings specifically that are forbidden now that I think on it
	2:11pm Dean: Geez, imagine what they'd do with a claw hammer banjo! Or a hammer.
	2:11pm Stanley: Ooh, I like this, my kind of guitar action
	2:12pm Wilson K: Noodlesville. Sounds like Eddie Witch Hazel and Franco Falsini's drug-addled love child
	2:15pm pacific standard simon: I probably would have liked Sabbath if they were an instrumental band.
	🛒 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: I just want somebody to do something about the Cardinals.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: As soon as the Cubs win the WC game, they will.
	2:27pm Listener Robert: As a young person, I thought it was "groovy Tuesday", & thought it referred to the day of the week.
	2:27pm Wilson K: This is some unchained shit. And now I need a burger.
	2:29pm pacific standard simon: Goodbye, Howdy Doody, who could tie a string on you?
	2:29pm Eric: sounds like this song is a waste of Melanie's vocal talent
	2:29pm Alex In Illinois: What about ukuleles? Can they do much harm with Ukulele strings?
	2:30pm pacific standard simon: garotte
	2:30pm Pedro G.: Enjoyed that Melanie version of Ruby Tuesday. I hope she doesn't eat there.
	2:31pm Guido from Cologne: Don't worry I'm here!
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @LR: That's a Smithereens song. Melanie sounds like BuffySt.-Marie here: didn't know she had those pipes! W/ this, Jagger-Richards were as good as TheBeatles.
	2:32pm Wilson K: But they're hard plastic. If you garroted someone with a uke string, they might survive. Then again if my cellmate were always strumming the uke I might be tempted to try.
	2:33pm pacific standard simon: Bakin' cabbage in the hot sun I fought the slaw and the slaw won Can't take credit for that one...
	2:33pm Listener Robert: ~30 yrs. ago I heard someone on WFMU (I think) play, "I fought the law & I won." I don't remember what it was about, nor whether it was on a record or sung over the music by the DJ. Might've been Pat Duncan.
	🛒 2:33pm Brian in UK: The Clash were never a true punk band because they had such a broad musical horizon?
	2:33pm Dean: Ukulele strings have caused irreparable harm.
	🛒 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To be blunt - they're probably just as worried about inmates hanging themselves as anything else.
	🛒 2:34pm Brian in UK: PF Sloan?
	2:34pm pacific standard simon: @ Listener Robert - That's the Dead Kennedys version.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Sloan/Barry wrote it.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Barri?
	2:35pm Wilson K: Blunts are definitely allowed in prison.
	2:37pm Listener Robert: Thanks, PSS. I knew I hadn't just imagined it.
	2:39pm Dean: Goshdarnit. I can't listen at the moment, and I love this BS tune.
	2:49pm doctorjazz: I'd guess hanging oneself is the reason for the string restriction as well.
	2:50pm Dean: Do they allow accordions in jail? Bagpipes? Violas?
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: Metal guitar strings are also components in homemade tattoo kits, which are officially forbidden in jail.
	2:51pm johnk77: johnny gimble rip
	2:54pm Wilson K: The world accordion to Garp
	2:55pm Wilson K: I couldn't do jail w/o a guitar. So that's it. I'm officially not going to jail.
	2:56pm Dean: Break the law? It's a capella from here on in.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hanging out today, everyone.
	2:58pm pacific standard simon: Oh, you'll sing like a bird when the screws are through with YOU, Lefty.
	2:58pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: ALREADY?!
	🛒 3:00pm Brian in UK: Action packed show, Uncle. Music & comments.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: It's always a surprise when the show ends, now, without the old closing number! Thanks, UM, and a fine weekend, all!
	3:01pm ...---...: def. not slipshod
	🛒 3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM!
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all! See you next time.
	8:38pm Jeff Golick: Had to come back to finish up and also to see which day of the week was in the offing. Nice job. (No way I'd've played that.) (Though was thinking of that Brinsley tune for Monday!) Peace out.
