	11:59am listener james from westwood: We've gotta get that guy teamed up with Doug's bear!
	12:00pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:01pm Stevel: Doot'n doot'n doo.
	12:01pm Jesse K: Morning Michael!
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Hi.
	12:06pm ndbob: my fave version of who do you love - lots of good ones tho
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! James! Bob! Steve! Jesse! Doc!
	12:08pm ndbob: I've never heard "Chicken Papa"
	12:11pm geezerette: Howdy Uncle Michael and Mike-ettes at the lunch time disco.
	12:12pm Webhamster Henry: Ahh, the Firesigns!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: geezerette! Henry!
	12:13pm geezerette: ha ha haaaaaaaaaah!
	12:16pm still b/p: Diversions preempted listening to the show for a few weeks, and first thing I hear upon returning is the Party track with that slightly wonky-warpy-spin flavor. A reacclimating and affirming reentry.
	12:16pm coelacanth: howdy Uncle M and Dinkies
	12:16pm Jeff Golick: So great to hear this on the radio.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: still b/p! coelacanth!
	12:17pm Dean: The ur-Blazing Saddles, right here.
	12:18pm jmd: Thanks for playing this! Always great to hear.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: dean! jmd!
	12:19pm geezerette: American Goons. :D
	12:21pm Webhamster Henry: I thought they were singing "Hari, Hari Krishna!" which would make sense after How Can You Be In Two Places.
	12:24pm geezerette: nowhere to go but up!
	12:26pm Lane Gray: Geezerette, Firesign didn't have Max Geldray. But I totally dig the parallel
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	12:29pm Lane Gray: Michael, your thoughts (if any) on the new Cyndi Lauper?
	12:29pm Little Danny: Top shreddery!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: No thoughts but I saw her on a morning show and liked the arrangement (who's the steel player), though I regretted the fiddle part came out of a synth.
	12:31pm geezerette: @Lane: Thanks for reminding me! I never think of him but he was an important part of the show. :)
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Hey Danny!
	12:33pm Lane Gray: I'm not sure who's on steel. I wish he had a bigger amp, he was overdriven on the live thing I saw. The title cut (Detour) is a duet with Emmylou
	12:34pm JP from KC: I swear this track is lining up perfectly with the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan track Bryce is playing on the main station right now.
	12:34pm Dean: According to the wikithing it's Dan Dugmore.
	12:35pm Doug Schulkind: This Min Bul cut is monstrously good.
	12:36pm Lane Gray: Dan "Blue Bayou" Dugmore.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: JP, rare is the moment that Bryce and I are on the same page...unless we're in the same room, and there's beer.
	12:36pm geezerette: Love this Min Bul.
	12:36pm V Priceless: Heya Uncle Michael and Dinkers!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: VP!
	12:41pm Lane Gray: Dean, is Dan on the record, in the band, or both?
	12:42pm Artie Haywire: I had no idea Manute Bol had a band.
	12:42pm geezerette: Unbelieveable!!!
	12:43pm chromaphone: Do you think this bassist is having fun?
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Artie! Chrome! No.
	12:44pm mauri: yo uncle michael! I heard the hinky dinky song in the navy lark on bbc radio 4xtra this wednesday.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: mauri! which version?
	12:45pm Lane Gray: Odd. I must have not been paying attention.
	12:47pm Lane Gray: It says School Days. Sounds more like No Particular Place to Go to me.
	12:48pm Alex In Illinois: How do you know it was not a tape loop?
	12:48pm chromaphone: Rypdal is a great player.
	12:48pm mauri: the old one. johnson was singing it.
	12:49pm chromaphone: My favorite Rypdal track that I've heard so far is Silver Bird Is Heading For The Sun.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: They're all old ones...most from about 1924-26.
	12:52pm Dean: On the record. The one clip I've seen, from a CBS morning show, featured a performance not including pedal steel, and the guitarist didn't look like Dugmore.
	12:55pm Lane Gray: Michael, it's in the first couple minutes. Fatso sings the Jimmy Durante for just a few bars
	12:56pm coelacanth: Great track! ...and yes i do think the bassist had fun. (i was cooking)
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: I'm confused. mauri reported hearing it. I'm lost.
	12:57pm mauri: Im sorry.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Who's fatso? I have no idea what you're saying, Lane.
	12:58pm Lane Gray: I put a live thing of her doing Heartaches by the Number live on my FB. The player is playing a Carter, but the amp is underpowered, kinda overdriving
	12:59pm Lane Gray: On the Navy Lark. Able Seaman Johnson, nicknamed Fatso, is singing a few bars of Hink A Dink a Do
	1:01pm Lane Gray: If you're inclined to listen to a radio sitcom, here is the link to the episode in question: www.bbc.co.uk...
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Ah...not the song I thought was being discussed.
	🛒 1:01pm Brian in UK: Hello folks. Dan Dugmore played on some John Stewart in the mid Seventies. @Lane your thoughts on Weldon Myrick?
	1:02pm mauri: thanks lane.
	🛒 1:02pm Brian in UK: Skewiff means wonky over here.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Brian! (thanks)
	1:03pm Lane Gray: Monster player. Horribly underrated. Could give Hal Rugg a run for his money on the speed. That was Weldon on most of Connie Smith's hits
	1:05pm Stanley: Love The Faces
	1:05pm coelacanth: Awesome! ...what does Stewart do here though? (tambourine, maybe...)
	🛒 1:05pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: This is nice. Reminds me of the Rod Stewart "Miss Judy's Farm"
	1:06pm V Priceless: Yeah! Happy Birthday Overend Watts! Woo!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Really? I mean...right...that's why I played it!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Stanley! Lizzie!
	🛒 1:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Well I'm multitasking here so I may have missed something!
	1:09pm V Priceless: haha....FMU hive mind at work!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Tech issue...
	1:10pm Dean: Uh, oh. Stream kick in?
	1:11pm coelacanth: hmmm. i'm guessing it's the stream i'm hearing now.
	1:11pm Doug Schulkind: Lost connection to the stream, UM.
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, streaming box just froze...rebooting it. Never happened in 152 shows.
	1:12pm coelacanth: you mean - the dog ate it...
	1:12pm Lane Gray: The soulful strings have been replaced by the Tasty Trumpets
	1:12pm Dean: Troubleshooting: 1. Is the thing with the two or three things sticking out of it stuck in the wall thing with two or three holes? 2. Electric bill paid? 3. What color is the light? Flashing? 4. Hamster fed?
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Aaaaand that damned thing is going to install updates now...might be five minutes.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: No flop sweat...nothing to do but ride it out...
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: So how about all this weather?
	1:14pm coelacanth: if ronald mcdonald trump owned the station you'd be fired. in fact so would Doug and all the listeners too.
	1:15pm mauri: intermission. beer and cigs
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Let's all go to the lobby...
	1:15pm coelacanth: heh. smoke 'em if you got 'em.
	1:16pm Dean: Anybody got any good jokes? Favorite biblical passages?
	1:16pm mauri: latin bar hostess asked me to join tonights cuban dj party. sounds good.
	1:17pm coelacanth: so, 2 peanuts were walking down the street...
	1:18pm Dean: ...and one of them had an allergy.
	1:18pm coelacanth: mauri that doesn't sound like a joke so it must be a biblical passage.
	1:18pm mauri: I heard there was no leafblower guy at dougs today. yeah I know I know.
	1:18pm Alex In Illinois: One of my favorite Biblical passages is right after the flood, Noah becomes a vintner grows a vinyard, makes wine and gets drunk, all in one sentence. I guess he really needed a drink.
	1:19pm Doug Schulkind: That sizzling trombonist playing on the stream was Mark Weinstein, no relation to David Weinstein, host of Give the Drummer Radio's latest new show, Ridgewood Radio. It will debut on the stream this coming Wednesday, 2-4pm
	1:19pm coelacanth: Yippie!
	1:19pm Dean: Good one! Kinda ironic, too, isn't it?
	1:24pm coelacanth: Brian in UK, is "skewiff" means "wonky", what does wonky mean? i've heard/seen it used in the states, but thought it too was a british term. no?
	1:24pm jmd: Squirrel bumper!
	1:27pm doctorjazz: Anyone else having trouble with the pop up player? Keeps going out on me (I'm able to restart it without any problems, but it's an annoyance).
	🛒 1:27pm Brian in UK: @coelacanth well you know it just aint right. It was alright this morning when I last looked at it now I can't get the darn thing to work properly. It's one degree off centre. Well I guess they are both from over here, just thought wonky would be understood more better.
	1:29pm Doug Schulkind: @docjazz Pop-up working fine over here. Sometimes it requires re-starting when the stream switches between shows. Maybe when Uncle Michael lost his connection to the stream, that same problem arose when he re-connected.
	🛒 1:29pm Brian in UK: Uncle Ian Hunter's invention.
	1:30pm coelacanth: right. that's how i've heard wonky used. i like your example!
	1:30pm mauri: brian in uk :D
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Doctor, Tunein pulls it in just fine
	1:33pm coelacanth: pop-up never works on my ancient windows machine, which i'm on now. it works fine on my ancient macbook, but stops at the end of every show, curiously.
	1:33pm Dean: OED has an entry for "skew-whiff": Askew, awry (lit. and fig.). And "wonky": Of a person: shaky, groggy; unstable. Of a thing: faulty, unsound; unreliable.
	1:34pm coelacanth: Louie Jordan was a God.
	1:35pm Jeff Golick: Hard not to sing along to this one, much to the dismay of my co-workers.
	🛒 1:35pm Brian in UK: @Dean never used wonky to refer to people.
	🛒 1:35pm Brian in UK: BOK BOK.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, tell them to be on their way.
	1:36pm Dean: Here in the US "wonky" is more often used to refer to nerdy people.
	1:37pm geezerette: Love Louis Jordan. Slim Gaillard too. Screaming Jay Hawkins...
	🛒 1:37pm Brian in UK: Cement mixer Putsy Putsy.
	1:37pm coelacanth: there was a commenter here (unfortunately gone, it seems) who used to sometimes say "i'm all wonky."
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: disco gospel
	🛒 1:38pm Brian in UK: The term 'wonk' seems to have entered the language recently.
	1:38pm doctorjazz: Love this set...Louis Jordan is indeed Royalty of R & B The pop up ALWAYS stops working at the end of a show, I take that as a given. But, I've had it do the same weird thing (sort of like a skipping vinyl record) during the show a couple of times. Not a big deal, easy to restart, but thought I'd mention it.
	1:38pm Dean: From a 1981 Times Literary Supplement article: "The vast majority of murderers are ipso facto acutely wonky, and most frequently wonky in dispiriting and unimaginative ways."
	1:40pm geezerette: "Policy wonk" should perhaps be "Policy Wank" then.
	1:41pm coelacanth: haha!
	🛒 1:41pm Brian in UK: Dean. Language is a many splendoured thing. @geezerette that was on the tip of my tongue (so to speak)
	1:41pm Dean: "Wonk" meaning nerd appears in 1962 in Sports Illustrated, then again eight years later in Erich Segal's Love Story! But there are earlier uses with different meanings, e.g., 1938 Australia, "a white man."
	1:42pm geezerette: Howdy coel's avatar!
	1:43pm Dean: @Brian in UK: Dam strait.
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: I'll take a wank any day.
	1:43pm coelacanth: g - i'll pass it on.
	1:44pm geezerette: @Dean: Ha! So a"Policy white man". THAT makes sense. :D
	1:48pm geezerette: OMG!
	1:48pm coelacanth: Brian UK, now i wonder if "wank" has a slightly different meaning than what it's accepted to mean here. (though i probably shouldn't ask!) (...just as when i once told my australian girl friend, "i have to go get my fanny pack." and she started laughing histerically!)
	🛒 1:49pm Brian in UK: Just been reading Elmore Leonard's Western Stories. Great book. Never realised that he wrote 3:10 to Yuma.
	1:49pm Webhamster Henry: A wonk is someone who "knows" backward. Or maybe that's a swonk.
	1:50pm geezerette: They don't sound gleeful. Love the offensive movie cliche "Indians coming" piano.
	1:50pm coelacanth: ha! good one Henry!
	1:51pm mauri: wonky skewiff, wanky spewjizz
	1:52pm Rich in Washington: That's great. It reminds me of this Coast Guard men's chorus album I have. They do a couple of really rigid takes on rock songs.
	🛒 1:52pm Brian in UK: coelacanth wank in the Biblical sense is Onan's work. Fanny is either front or backwards facing depending where you come from methinks. I used to have a sidecar.
	1:52pm geezerette: Brian the '50s Glen Ford "3:10 to Yuma" is a good film.
	🛒 1:52pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: You always play the songs I thought I'd forgotten. Thanks.
	1:52pm Dean: "This word and its derivatives are not in polite use."
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: This Sailcat song is vaguely Nilsson-like.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: So, is it official? Is "Ghost Riders..." the new "Last Thing On My Mind"?
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Unofficial...for a while...till I tire of it.
	1:55pm coelacanth: that song, which i forgot about, i thought was Paul Simon when it was an am hit. ...but yes, quite Nilsson-like.
	1:56pm ndbob: ah always good to hear a rodent song
	1:57pm Dean: Disney hears this song, they're gonna sue.
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: I'm litigation-proof.
	1:59pm geezerette: Lawyers already knockin' on the door Dean!
	1:59pm geezerette: Your door Uncle Michael!
	2:00pm Dean: Who's there?
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Ain't nobody here but us chickens.
	🛒 2:00pm KevinfromBayRidge: When the shit hits the fan!
	🛒 2:01pm KevinfromBayRidge: Didn't mean chicken shit
	2:01pm geezerette: :D
	🛒 2:01pm Brian in UK: The old Sid Vicious joke of the fan hitting the shit.
	2:03pm coelacanth: BrianUK so a band called "the wankers" is a variation on a band called "the humpers", essentially? i think here it's used to mean "self-gratification". (please excuse me people, i like to know the correct meaning of things!)
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: The gif wishes to be activated for this track.
	2:04pm geezerette: haha...doin' what?
	2:04pm Dean: One entry in OED refers to it as "self-abuse."
	2:05pm Dean: I wonder if Part II of "it" is any different from Part I of "it."
	2:05pm geezerette: they're giving each other back rubs,right?
	🛒 2:06pm Brian in UK: I think the self abuse refers back to Onan who spilled his seed and that was not necessarily self gratification.
	2:06pm coelacanth: hahaha! self-abuse! crazy! imagine how over-populated the world might be if ... (never mind)
	🛒 2:06pm KevinfromBayRidge: Damn! It was actually in rhythm!
	🛒 2:07pm Brian in UK: I loves a tummy tickle on my motorsickle.
	2:07pm geezerette: bingo,Brian.
	🛒 2:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Well. If Clowns don't scare ya...
	2:09pm Lane Gray: The noun of the collective for Bankers is "wunch."
	🛒 2:09pm Brian in UK: The word WANKER is wonderfully anglo saxon in its primitive sound.
	🛒 2:09pm Brian in UK: A Spill?
	2:10pm Lane Gray: A wunch of bankers
	2:10pm geezerette: Those Saxons had sharp Angles.
	2:11pm Dean: Origin of "wank" is unknown. Could be "echoic," claims Eric Partridge in his 1951 slang dictionary. I'd never heard of "wanker's doom," which is "disability caused by excessive masturbation." Great band name, though.
	2:11pm coelacanth: giant, inflatable, dancing svengalis.
	2:12pm V Priceless: always love me some Spirit!
	2:13pm coelacanth: it does make your palms furry though. that's what we were told in "health class", jokingly...but everyone not on the ball looked at their hands!
	🛒 2:13pm Brian in UK: @Dean I need to get my glasses to read this. Spirit of '76 is a favourite in this house.
	2:14pm geezerette: wink,wank,wunk
	🛒 2:14pm Brian in UK: Is there a better track than Fresh Garbage.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: There aren't many better first tracks on first albums.
	2:16pm geezerette: Jane HOKOM!? Real name? Self love mentioned.
	🛒 2:17pm Brian in UK: Need to hit the kitchen. Great work Uncle. Hands on the table everyone.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian.
	2:18pm coelacanth: ciao Brian
	2:19pm Lane Gray: Pedal steel AND pedal steel with sitar bar together. Cool (sitar with sustain is usually us...)
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: That's why I played it, Lane.
	2:21pm Jeff Golick: Is this a slightly different version than was on the original album?
	2:22pm Jeff Golick: Or maybe I'm thinking of some alternate version that I've heard more recently.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: It's gotta be...or horribly remastered.
	2:22pm ndbob: pretty sure it;s her real name Geezer
	2:22pm Lane Gray: Have you heard Stan Hitchcock's "Honey, I'm Home"? Hal Rugg all over it with his sitar bar (he just got it that day)
	2:34pm Kris Holmes: tuned in
	2:34pm geezerette: Happy weekend Uncle Michael and invisible friends. :)
	2:35pm coelacanth: i took that line to refer to the lies and myths that people buy.
	2:36pm coelacanth: till then g.
	2:37pm geezerette: see you later coel.
	2:38pm coelacanth: ...that she was being sarcastic.
	2:38pm Lane Gray: Take care, Geezerette
	2:38pm Kris Holmes: ha, we were supposed to "teach" this dude "how to DJ" in NYC last year when I was on tour. But he cancelled last minute. Might have been fun.
	2:39pm Little Danny: That would have been a beautiful Coral electric sitar. Also used by Joe South.
	2:39pm ndbob: ah - double entendre dentist song!
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Pokey, Kris?
	2:40pm Lane Gray: You sure, Danny? It sounded like a bit more sustain.
	2:41pm coelacanth: that's quite a cavity you've got there!
	2:42pm Lane Gray: Michael, here's one known to be the steel sitar (Stan Hitchcock confirmed it) m.youtube.com...
	2:42pm mauri: files over drills club.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: Fun reading this thread, hard to work...
	2:43pm Kris Holmes: yes pokey
	2:44pm Little Danny: Not actually that sure but Hazlewood did use the Coral on some sessions.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Ramomes "Needles and Pins" is my favorite version.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: How did you connect with him?
	🛒 2:45pm KevinfromBayRidge: Jackieeee!!!
	2:45pm JP from KC: Damn! I missed Pokey?! Guess that's what I get for taking off for lunch. He's one of the nicest guys you could meet, by the way.
	2:46pm geezerette: thanks Lane. I recommend to all the W.C. Fields short in which he plays a dentist. Very funny. Hasta la vista!
	2:46pm Kris Holmes: his manager tried to set it up
	2:47pm ndbob: this is my favorite version - and the original - the Searchers version is so great though
	2:48pm Kris Holmes: cascades is the og
	2:48pm Kris Holmes: never heard the searchers version
	2:49pm ndbob: I wa stalking about Needle sand Pins - little delayed comment here
	2:50pm Kris Holmes: it was supposed to happen at botanica with finewine
	2:50pm coelacanth: i always liked Del Shannon's "needles & pins" (maybe because it was my first?), but Jackie's version might topple Del's.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I'm feeling my '70s top-40 these days.
	2:50pm Kris Holmes: oh right, yeah that Jackie D is a great version
	2:51pm Dean: Trump's campaign theme song?
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Don't think I ever heard Jackie DeShannon's version before, like how she goes off with it at the end. Her's is the original, I believe. Love The Searchers take as well.
	2:51pm JP from KC: It would be interesting to hear a DJ set by Pokey LaFarge... I bet it would appeal to the likes of us, though.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Coming to that time again, thanks, Michael, have a great weekend, all!
	2:53pm Jeff Golick: You know what would almost certainly NOT be interesting to hear? This: www.factmag.com...
	2:55pm ndbob: Jackie's version of Needles and Pins did chart - top 100 but not top 40 - a hit in a few places like LA
	2:55pm Kris Holmes: yeah that made me throw up in my mouth a bit when it flashed up on fb :(
	2:57pm JP from KC: This is unfounded speculation, but I imagine Kylie Jenner's DJ set would probably sound like Randy Marsh's Steamy Ray Vaughan performances on South Park.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: I can't use it in my bidness.
	2:58pm geezerette: so like Eric Burden.
	2:58pm doctorjazz: I was going to put on Danny's show after this, but I see there isn't any archive up.
	🛒 2:59pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great shew, Unc. Always look forward to a bissle OT! especially if it involves The Walker Bros!
	2:59pm coelacanth: who's kylie jenner? never mind - i don't care.
	2:59pm geezerette: wow, I can't tear myself away! I'm out i'm out I'm out...
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: I love it when you speak Yiddish, Kevin.
	3:00pm JP from KC: Be glad you don't know, Coel. Ignorance truly is bliss, in this case.
	🛒 3:00pm KevinfromBayRidge: For such a Mensch!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: One more after Jerry...
	3:03pm coelacanth: ...not that i'm judging her by her hair, it's just that the prospects aren't good!
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hanging out, everyone. See you next week...no gifts, please.
	3:04pm Henry: thanks for the Stones, UM
	3:04pm mauri: ever so good show um.
	3:05pm Kris Holmes: been revisiting the stones lately, just added dead flowers to my live set
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: YW Henry. Thanks mauri.
	3:05pm chromaphone: How soon til the archive is up? Missed the last hour :0( Thanks UM
	3:05pm Jeff Golick: A beaut, @UM. Thanks.
	3:05pm JP from KC: LOVE that avatar pic, Henry. Any chance it's available in desktop background size somewhere?
	3:05pm ndbob: Kylie could be good as a DJ - ya never know
	3:06pm Uncle Michael: Very cool, Kris. Give it a couple of hours, chromaphone. Thanks, Jeff.
	3:06pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:07pm Henry: @JP try here: bukowski.net
	3:07pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM, and a fine weekend to all!
	3:07pm coelacanth: Thanks Uncle M! Great program! ciao peeps
	3:08pm JP from KC: Much obliged, Henry! Great show UM! Catch you next week!
	3:10pm Alex In Illinois: When I was listening away from the computer on my phone I heard yo play a Pokey LaFarge tune and mention Pokey LaFarge. Pokey LaFarge is originally from Illinois.
	3:11pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	3:11pm Uncle Michael: Bye my friends!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 13, 2016

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 ndbob: I've never heard "Chicken Papa"
	12:11pm geezerette: Howdy Uncle Michael and Mike-ettes at the lunch time disco.
	12:12pm Webhamster Henry: Ahh, the Firesigns!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: geezerette! Henry!
	12:13pm geezerette: ha ha haaaaaaaaaah!
	12:16pm still b/p: Diversions preempted listening to the show for a few weeks, and first thing I hear upon returning is the Party track with that slightly wonky-warpy-spin flavor. A reacclimating and affirming reentry.
	12:16pm coelacanth: howdy Uncle M and Dinkies
	12:16pm Jeff Golick: So great to hear this on the radio.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: still b/p! coelacanth!
	12:17pm Dean: The ur-Blazing Saddles, right here.
	12:18pm jmd: Thanks for playing this! Always great to hear.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: dean! jmd!
	12:19pm geezerette: American Goons. :D
	12:21pm Webhamster Henry: I thought they were singing "Hari, Hari Krishna!" which would make sense after How Can You Be In Two Places.
	12:24pm geezerette: nowhere to go but up!
	12:26pm Lane Gray: Geezerette, Firesign didn't have Max Geldray. But I totally dig the parallel
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	12:29pm Lane Gray: Michael, your thoughts (if any) on the new Cyndi Lauper?
	12:29pm Little Danny: Top shreddery!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: No thoughts but I saw her on a morning show and liked the arrangement (who's the steel player), though I regretted the fiddle part came out of a synth.
	12:31pm geezerette: @Lane: Thanks for reminding me! I never think of him but he was an important part of the show. :)
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Hey Danny!
	12:33pm Lane Gray: I'm not sure who's on steel. I wish he had a bigger amp, he was overdriven on the live thing I saw. The title cut (Detour) is a duet with Emmylou
	12:34pm JP from KC: I swear this track is lining up perfectly with the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan track Bryce is playing on the main station right now.
	12:34pm Dean: According to the wikithing it's Dan Dugmore.
	12:35pm Doug Schulkind: This Min Bul cut is monstrously good.
	12:36pm Lane Gray: Dan "Blue Bayou" Dugmore.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: JP, rare is the moment that Bryce and I are on the same page...unless we're in the same room, and there's beer.
	12:36pm geezerette: Love this Min Bul.
	12:36pm V Priceless: Heya Uncle Michael and Dinkers!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: VP!
	12:41pm Lane Gray: Dean, is Dan on the record, in the band, or both?
	12:42pm Artie Haywire: I had no idea Manute Bol had a band.
	12:42pm geezerette: Unbelieveable!!!
	12:43pm chromaphone: Do you think this bassist is having fun?
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Artie! Chrome! No.
	12:44pm mauri: yo uncle michael! I heard the hinky dinky song in the navy lark on bbc radio 4xtra this wednesday.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: mauri! which version?
	12:45pm Lane Gray: Odd. I must have not been paying attention.
	12:47pm Lane Gray: It says School Days. Sounds more like No Particular Place to Go to me.
	12:48pm Alex In Illinois: How do you know it was not a tape loop?
	12:48pm chromaphone: Rypdal is a great player.
	12:48pm mauri: the old one. johnson was singing it.
	12:49pm chromaphone: My favorite Rypdal track that I've heard so far is Silver Bird Is Heading For The Sun.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: They're all old ones...most from about 1924-26.
	12:52pm Dean: On the record. The one clip I've seen, from a CBS morning show, featured a performance not including pedal steel, and the guitarist didn't look like Dugmore.
	12:55pm Lane Gray: Michael, it's in the first couple minutes. Fatso sings the Jimmy Durante for just a few bars
	12:56pm coelacanth: Great track! ...and yes i do think the bassist had fun. (i was cooking)
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: I'm confused. mauri reported hearing it. I'm lost.
	12:57pm mauri: Im sorry.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Who's fatso? I have no idea what you're saying, Lane.
	12:58pm Lane Gray: I put a live thing of her doing Heartaches by the Number live on my FB. The player is playing a Carter, but the amp is underpowered, kinda overdriving
	12:59pm Lane Gray: On the Navy Lark. Able Seaman Johnson, nicknamed Fatso, is singing a few bars of Hink A Dink a Do
	1:01pm Lane Gray: If you're inclined to listen to a radio sitcom, here is the link to the episode in question: www.bbc.co.uk...
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Ah...not the song I thought was being discussed.
	🛒 1:01pm Brian in UK: Hello folks. Dan Dugmore played on some John Stewart in the mid Seventies. @Lane your thoughts on Weldon Myrick?
	1:02pm mauri: thanks lane.
	🛒 1:02pm Brian in UK: Skewiff means wonky over here.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Brian! (thanks)
	1:03pm Lane Gray: Monster player. Horribly underrated. Could give Hal Rugg a run for his money on the speed. That was Weldon on most of Connie Smith's hits
	1:05pm Stanley: Love The Faces
	1:05pm coelacanth: Awesome! ...what does Stewart do here though? (tambourine, maybe...)
	🛒 1:05pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: This is nice. Reminds me of the Rod Stewart "Miss Judy's Farm"
	1:06pm V Priceless: Yeah! Happy Birthday Overend Watts! Woo!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Really? I mean...right...that's why I played it!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Stanley! Lizzie!
	🛒 1:08pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Well I'm multitasking here so I may have missed something!
	1:09pm V Priceless: haha....FMU hive mind at work!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Tech issue...
	1:10pm Dean: Uh, oh. Stream kick in?
	1:11pm coelacanth: hmmm. i'm guessing it's the stream i'm hearing now.
	1:11pm Doug Schulkind: Lost connection to the stream, UM.
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, streaming box just froze...rebooting it. Never happened in 152 shows.
	1:12pm coelacanth: you mean - the dog ate it...
	1:12pm Lane Gray: The soulful strings have been replaced by the Tasty Trumpets
	1:12pm Dean: Troubleshooting: 1. Is the thing with the two or three things sticking out of it stuck in the wall thing with two or three holes? 2. Electric bill paid? 3. What color is the light? Flashing? 4. Hamster fed?
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Aaaaand that damned thing is going to install updates now...might be five minutes.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: No flop sweat...nothing to do but ride it out...
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: So how about all this weather?
	1:14pm coelacanth: if ronald mcdonald trump owned the station you'd be fired. in fact so would Doug and all the listeners too.
	1:15pm mauri: intermission. beer and cigs
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Let's all go to the lobby...
	1:15pm coelacanth: heh. smoke 'em if you got 'em.
	1:16pm Dean: Anybody got any good jokes? Favorite biblical passages?
	1:16pm mauri: latin bar hostess asked me to join tonights cuban dj party. sounds good.
	1:17pm coelacanth: so, 2 peanuts were walking down the street...
	1:18pm Dean: ...and one of them had an allergy.
	1:18pm coelacanth: mauri that doesn't sound like a joke so it must be a biblical passage.
	1:18pm mauri: I heard there was no leafblower guy at dougs today. yeah I know I know.
	1:18pm Alex In Illinois: One of my favorite Biblical passages is right after the flood, Noah becomes a vintner grows a vinyard, makes wine and gets drunk, all in one sentence. I guess he really needed a drink.
	1:19pm Doug Schulkind: That sizzling trombonist playing on the stream was Mark Weinstein, no relation to David Weinstein, host of Give the Drummer Radio's latest new show, Ridgewood Radio. It will debut on the stream this coming Wednesday, 2-4pm
	1:19pm coelacanth: Yippie!
	1:19pm Dean: Good one! Kinda ironic, too, isn't it?
	1:24pm coelacanth: Brian in UK, is "skewiff" means "wonky", what does wonky mean? i've heard/seen it used in the states, but thought it too was a british term. no?
	1:24pm jmd: Squirrel bumper!
	1:27pm doctorjazz: Anyone else having trouble with the pop up player? Keeps going out on me (I'm able to restart it without any problems, but it's an annoyance).
	🛒 1:27pm Brian in UK: @coelacanth well you know it just aint right. It was alright this morning when I last looked at it now I can't get the darn thing to work properly. It's one degree off centre. Well I guess they are both from over here, just thought wonky would be understood more better.
	1:29pm Doug Schulkind: @docjazz Pop-up working fine over here. Sometimes it requires re-starting when the stream switches between shows. Maybe when Uncle Michael lost his connection to the stream, that same problem arose when he re-connected.
	🛒 1:29pm Brian in UK: Uncle Ian Hunter's invention.
	1:30pm coelacanth: right. that's how i've heard wonky used. i like your example!
	1:30pm mauri: brian in uk :D
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Doctor, Tunein pulls it in just fine
	1:33pm coelacanth: pop-up never works on my ancient windows machine, which i'm on now. it works fine on my ancient macbook, but stops at the end of every show, curiously.
	1:33pm Dean: OED has an entry for "skew-whiff": Askew, awry (lit. and fig.). And "wonky": Of a person: shaky, groggy; unstable. Of a thing: faulty, unsound; unreliable.
	1:34pm coelacanth: Louie Jordan was a God.
	1:35pm Jeff Golick: Hard not to sing along to this one, much to the dismay of my co-workers.
	🛒 1:35pm Brian in UK: @Dean never used wonky to refer to people.
	🛒 1:35pm Brian in UK: BOK BOK.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, tell them to be on their way.
	1:36pm Dean: Here in the US "wonky" is more often used to refer to nerdy people.
	1:37pm geezerette: Love Louis Jordan. Slim Gaillard too. Screaming Jay Hawkins...
	🛒 1:37pm Brian in UK: Cement mixer Putsy Putsy.
	1:37pm coelacanth: there was a commenter here (unfortunately gone, it seems) who used to sometimes say "i'm all wonky."
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: disco gospel
	🛒 1:38pm Brian in UK: The term 'wonk' seems to have entered the language recently.
	1:38pm doctorjazz: Love this set...Louis Jordan is indeed Royalty of R & B The pop up ALWAYS stops working at the end of a show, I take that as a given. But, I've had it do the same weird thing (sort of like a skipping vinyl record) during the show a couple of times. Not a big deal, easy to restart, but thought I'd mention it.
	1:38pm Dean: From a 1981 Times Literary Supplement article: "The vast majority of murderers are ipso facto acutely wonky, and most frequently wonky in dispiriting and unimaginative ways."
	1:40pm geezerette: "Policy wonk" should perhaps be "Policy Wank" then.
	1:41pm coelacanth: haha!
	🛒 1:41pm Brian in UK: Dean. Language is a many splendoured thing. @geezerette that was on the tip of my tongue (so to speak)
	1:41pm Dean: "Wonk" meaning nerd appears in 1962 in Sports Illustrated, then again eight years later in Erich Segal's Love Story! But there are earlier uses with different meanings, e.g., 1938 Australia, "a white man."
	1:42pm geezerette: Howdy coel's avatar!
	1:43pm Dean: @Brian in UK: Dam strait.
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: I'll take a wank any day.
	1:43pm coelacanth: g - i'll pass it on.
	1:44pm geezerette: @Dean: Ha! So a"Policy white man". THAT makes sense. :D
	1:48pm geezerette: OMG!
	1:48pm coelacanth: Brian UK, now i wonder if "wank" has a slightly different meaning than what it's accepted to mean here. (though i probably shouldn't ask!) (...just as when i once told my australian girl friend, "i have to go get my fanny pack." and she started laughing histerically!)
	🛒 1:49pm Brian in UK: Just been reading Elmore Leonard's Western Stories. Great book. Never realised that he wrote 3:10 to Yuma.
	1:49pm Webhamster Henry: A wonk is someone who "knows" backward. Or maybe that's a swonk.
	1:50pm geezerette: They don't sound gleeful. Love the offensive movie cliche "Indians coming" piano.
	1:50pm coelacanth: ha! good one Henry!
	1:51pm mauri: wonky skewiff, wanky spewjizz
	1:52pm Rich in Washington: That's great. It reminds me of this Coast Guard men's chorus album I have. They do a couple of really rigid takes on rock songs.
	🛒 1:52pm Brian in UK: coelacanth wank in the Biblical sense is Onan's work. Fanny is either front or backwards facing depending where you come from methinks. I used to have a sidecar.
	1:52pm geezerette: Brian the '50s Glen Ford "3:10 to Yuma" is a good film.
	🛒 1:52pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: You always play the songs I thought I'd forgotten. Thanks.
	1:52pm Dean: "This word and its derivatives are not in polite use."
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: This Sailcat song is vaguely Nilsson-like.
	1:53pm doctorjazz: So, is it official? Is "Ghost Riders..." the new "Last Thing On My Mind"?
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Unofficial...for a while...till I tire of it.
	1:55pm coelacanth: that song, which i forgot about, i thought was Paul Simon when it was an am hit. ...but yes, quite Nilsson-like.
	1:56pm ndbob: ah always good to hear a rodent song
	1:57pm Dean: Disney hears this song, they're gonna sue.
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: I'm litigation-proof.
	1:59pm geezerette: Lawyers already knockin' on the door Dean!
	1:59pm geezerette: Your door Uncle Michael!
	2:00pm Dean: Who's there?
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Ain't nobody here but us chickens.
	🛒 2:00pm KevinfromBayRidge: When the shit hits the fan!
	🛒 2:01pm KevinfromBayRidge: Didn't mean chicken shit
	2:01pm geezerette: :D
	🛒 2:01pm Brian in UK: The old Sid Vicious joke of the fan hitting the shit.
	2:03pm coelacanth: BrianUK so a band called "the wankers" is a variation on a band called "the humpers", essentially? i think here it's used to mean "self-gratification". (please excuse me people, i like to know the correct meaning of things!)
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: The gif wishes to be activated for this track.
	2:04pm geezerette: haha...doin' what?
	2:04pm Dean: One entry in OED refers to it as "self-abuse."
	2:05pm Dean: I wonder if Part II of "it" is any different from Part I of "it."
	2:05pm geezerette: they're giving each other back rubs,right?
	🛒 2:06pm Brian in UK: I think the self abuse refers back to Onan who spilled his seed and that was not necessarily self gratification.
	2:06pm coelacanth: hahaha! self-abuse! crazy! imagine how over-populated the world might be if ... (never mind)
	🛒 2:06pm KevinfromBayRidge: Damn! It was actually in rhythm!
	🛒 2:07pm Brian in UK: I loves a tummy tickle on my motorsickle.
	2:07pm geezerette: bingo,Brian.
	🛒 2:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Well. If Clowns don't scare ya...
	2:09pm Lane Gray: The noun of the collective for Bankers is "wunch."
	🛒 2:09pm Brian in UK: The word WANKER is wonderfully anglo saxon in its primitive sound.
	🛒 2:09pm Brian in UK: A Spill?
	2:10pm Lane Gray: A wunch of bankers
	2:10pm geezerette: Those Saxons had sharp Angles.
	2:11pm Dean: Origin of "wank" is unknown. Could be "echoic," claims Eric Partridge in his 1951 slang dictionary. I'd never heard of "wanker's doom," which is "disability caused by excessive masturbation." Great band name, though.
	2:11pm coelacanth: giant, inflatable, dancing svengalis.
	2:12pm V Priceless: always love me some Spirit!
	2:13pm coelacanth: it does make your palms furry though. that's what we were told in "health class", jokingly...but everyone not on the ball looked at their hands!
	🛒 2:13pm Brian in UK: @Dean I need to get my glasses to read this. Spirit of '76 is a favourite in this house.
	2:14pm geezerette: wink,wank,wunk
	🛒 2:14pm Brian in UK: Is there a better track than Fresh Garbage.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: There aren't many better first tracks on first albums.
	2:16pm geezerette: Jane HOKOM!? Real name? Self love mentioned.
	🛒 2:17pm Brian in UK: Need to hit the kitchen. Great work Uncle. Hands on the table everyone.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Brian.
	2:18pm coelacanth: ciao Brian
	2:19pm Lane Gray: Pedal steel AND pedal steel with sitar bar together. Cool (sitar with sustain is usually us...)
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: That's why I played it, Lane.
	2:21pm Jeff Golick: Is this a slightly different version than was on the original album?
	2:22pm Jeff Golick: Or maybe I'm thinking of some alternate version that I've heard more recently.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: It's gotta be...or horribly remastered.
	2:22pm ndbob: pretty sure it;s her real name Geezer
	2:22pm Lane Gray: Have you heard Stan Hitchcock's "Honey, I'm Home"? Hal Rugg all over it with his sitar bar (he just got it that day)
	2:34pm Kris Holmes: tuned in
	2:34pm geezerette: Happy weekend Uncle Michael and invisible friends. :)
	2:35pm coelacanth: i took that line to refer to the lies and myths that people buy.
	2:36pm coelacanth: till then g.
	2:37pm geezerette: see you later coel.
	2:38pm coelacanth: ...that she was being sarcastic.
	2:38pm Lane Gray: Take care, Geezerette
	2:38pm Kris Holmes: ha, we were supposed to "teach" this dude "how to DJ" in NYC last year when I was on tour. But he cancelled last minute. Might have been fun.
	2:39pm Little Danny: That would have been a beautiful Coral electric sitar. Also used by Joe South.
	2:39pm ndbob: ah - double entendre dentist song!
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Pokey, Kris?
	2:40pm Lane Gray: You sure, Danny? It sounded like a bit more sustain.
	2:41pm coelacanth: that's quite a cavity you've got there!
	2:42pm Lane Gray: Michael, here's one known to be the steel sitar (Stan Hitchcock confirmed it) m.youtube.com...
	2:42pm mauri: files over drills club.
	2:43pm doctorjazz: Fun reading this thread, hard to work...
	2:43pm Kris Holmes: yes pokey
	2:44pm Little Danny: Not actually that sure but Hazlewood did use the Coral on some sessions.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Ramomes "Needles and Pins" is my favorite version.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: How did you connect with him?
	🛒 2:45pm KevinfromBayRidge: Jackieeee!!!
	2:45pm JP from KC: Damn! I missed Pokey?! Guess that's what I get for taking off for lunch. He's one of the nicest guys you could meet, by the way.
	2:46pm geezerette: thanks Lane. I recommend to all the W.C. Fields short in which he plays a dentist. Very funny. Hasta la vista!
	2:46pm Kris Holmes: his manager tried to set it up
	2:47pm ndbob: this is my favorite version - and the original - the Searchers version is so great though
	2:48pm Kris Holmes: cascades is the og
	2:48pm Kris Holmes: never heard the searchers version
	2:49pm ndbob: I wa stalking about Needle sand Pins - little delayed comment here
	2:50pm Kris Holmes: it was supposed to happen at botanica with finewine
	2:50pm coelacanth: i always liked Del Shannon's "needles & pins" (maybe because it was my first?), but Jackie's version might topple Del's.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I'm feeling my '70s top-40 these days.
	2:50pm Kris Holmes: oh right, yeah that Jackie D is a great version
	2:51pm Dean: Trump's campaign theme song?
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Don't think I ever heard Jackie DeShannon's version before, like how she goes off with it at the end. Her's is the original, I believe. Love The Searchers take as well.
	2:51pm JP from KC: It would be interesting to hear a DJ set by Pokey LaFarge... I bet it would appeal to the likes of us, though.
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Coming to that time again, thanks, Michael, have a great weekend, all!
	2:53pm Jeff Golick: You know what would almost certainly NOT be interesting to hear? This: www.factmag.com...
	2:55pm ndbob: Jackie's version of Needles and Pins did chart - top 100 but not top 40 - a hit in a few places like LA
	2:55pm Kris Holmes: yeah that made me throw up in my mouth a bit when it flashed up on fb :(
	2:57pm JP from KC: This is unfounded speculation, but I imagine Kylie Jenner's DJ set would probably sound like Randy Marsh's Steamy Ray Vaughan performances on South Park.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: I can't use it in my bidness.
	2:58pm geezerette: so like Eric Burden.
	2:58pm doctorjazz: I was going to put on Danny's show after this, but I see there isn't any archive up.
	🛒 2:59pm KevinfromBayRidge: Great shew, Unc. Always look forward to a bissle OT! especially if it involves The Walker Bros!
	2:59pm coelacanth: who's kylie jenner? never mind - i don't care.
	2:59pm geezerette: wow, I can't tear myself away! I'm out i'm out I'm out...
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: I love it when you speak Yiddish, Kevin.
	3:00pm JP from KC: Be glad you don't know, Coel. Ignorance truly is bliss, in this case.
	🛒 3:00pm KevinfromBayRidge: For such a Mensch!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: One more after Jerry...
	3:03pm coelacanth: ...not that i'm judging her by her hair, it's just that the prospects aren't good!
