	12:04pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! Sod the Inauguration!
	12:04pm hyde: can we talk about old inaugurations? like the one where Andrew Jackson's supporters trashed the White House and Jackson had to duck out a window and sleep somewhere else?
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Hi all, over to the next room, hi UM!
	12:05pm Parq: Hyde, so they had frat boys even then? Fuckin' brewskis!
	12:06pm still b/p: Spike the Egg-nog-ural!

	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Sean! Mauri! Dean!
	12:13pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M, Dinkettes
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	12:16pm still b/p: James Brown says it's Christmas....and we got coel in our stockings.
	12:17pm 67tele: Greetings all; it's still Friday eh
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Tele!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Friday hasn't been outlawed...yet.
	12:19pm Dominick: I got some groceries, some peanut butter
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Good thinking.
	12:20pm geezerette: Good Morning from LA LA LAND!!! Pumpkinhead is bellowing nonsense at us. God Bless Hinky-Dinky Land !
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Geezerette!
	12:21pm Jeff Golick: Listened to IV recently. Holds up.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:23pm Kris Holmes: that bowie sounded like the bosstones from a couple of rooms away :)
	12:23pm Jeff Golick: My toggle is broken.
	12:24pm listener jeff: Sorry to miss the first 23 minutes UM. I was listening to words and should have listened to the music play.
	12:25pm doctorjazz: Staying away from news as much as possible...
	12:27pm rf: yeeeeyyyy
	12:28pm Listener Robert: What kind of gate we talking here? All that comes to mind in context that might have a threshold would be the gate on a transistor triode -- like there's a pot you adjust such that any voltage less than whatever means that triode sees nothing.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! rf! Robert! Something like that...
	12:29pm Listener Robert: So for instance, an audio amplifier could have a setting such that less than a certain input keeps the output flat.
	12:29pm annie: i think he was loosening his belt
	12:30pm Listener Robert: Could be, annie...he's talking like it's still Xmas, so maybe eating like it too.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Noise gate on the mic processor...
	12:33pm geezerette: Ha! ain't it the truth!
	12:33pm Listener Robert: Meaning a squelch? Like below a certain threshold, 0 comes thru? Then yeah, that would function like (& probably be) a pot on the input to a linear transistor amp...unless this gate is already at the digital level.
	12:33pm 67tele: clever choice that Fanny
	12:33pm Parq: The original "Nowhere to Run" is used to terrific effect in Alan Carr's "The Commitments".
	12:35pm Listener Robert: So I looked up the Wikipedia entry for Squelch, and it linked to the entry Noise gate. Thanks for the education.
	12:39pm annie: the reading is safer here on the playlist, compared to my FB feeds. wait, let me get a stick for this horse over here lying all akimbo!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Right, the mic picks up below a theshhold, an the circuit stays closed. The threshold was set too high.
	12:40pm Alex In Illinois: This song was actually recorded before digitally sampling was invented. So either they did a lot of tape splicing or the singers were actually singing the same phrase over again.
	12:40pm Lane Gray: Hey y'all! After fighting with new carriers and new phones, I might be back after my absence
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Lane! Long time no read!
	12:41pm still b/p: One of the tests for whether you're talking to a robot: will it understand if you instruct it to get up and get down in order to enjoy itself?
	12:41pm geezerette: Sanity and civility are about to fly away in a Marine helicopter.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	12:42pm johnk77: drums were gated in the eighties and other times back in the day i am so old i survived nixon amdministration
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: John!
	12:43pm Alex In Illinois: @still b/p: Have you ever dealt with an entity that you were thought was some sort of 'bot or computer, but it turned out to be a human?
	12:45pm johnk77: also drum could trigger gate via sidechain yes on mistaking humans for bots
	12:46pm Lane Gray: Listener Robert, some multieffects units have a noise gate built into them, but they're never as simple as what you describe, as those are pretty much instant. I've never heard a noise gate with less than about 200ms latency. And in some amps, you can't disable them. VERY annoying if you put them after a volume pedal. When I hit a string, I damn well expect a note to jump out of the speaker. Hopefully Michael's lacks the latency
	12:46pm still b/p: @ Alex -- not past a phrase or two on the phone. You?
	12:46pm johnk77: nixon shitstem administration
	12:47pm SeanG: WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: my father had a Beautiful fisher amp equipped with a squelch control. boy i wish i had that amp now.
	12:48pm doctorjazz: The morning DJ tryouts have been fun to listen to...wouldn't want to be the one to make the final decision!
	12:49pm Lane Gray: Was John Miles associated with Supertramp? No I didn't get up and boogie. We're running late and I'm still lying in the sleeper as Ali (whose name makes me think of the Aristocats) drives across the Hoosier state.
	12:50pm V Priceless: yay Bonzos!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Sen!
	12:52pm johnk77: fisher made some nice hardware avery fisher hall nyc now david geffen hall
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: (Sean!)
	12:54pm Parq: Leona: www.spaceagepop.com...
	12:54pm still b/p: Making music great again!
	12:54pm Parq: And if you just gotta have it: blog.wfmu.org...
	12:55pm Alex In Illinois: @still b/p: In some on-line conversations on some forum, I got the idea that a 'bot was posting, but never got confirmed that it was human, and years ago, an entity contacted my on a dating site, and I was never sure whether it was human or 'bot, since "her" conversation was very dull. At work, I once suggested that the behavior of a certain Database Administrator was more worthy of a 'bot than an organic entity. Examples of humans flunking the Touring Test.
	12:55pm Dean: For a right proper "Habanera," you could do worse than (the splendidly named) Conchita Supervia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGCSsZFr8TM
	12:55pm annie: so, then you have Anna Russel lined up?
	12:55pm doctorjazz: The Carmen Reminds me of Meryl Streep (that awful actress) as Florence Foster Jenkins
	12:57pm Doug Schulkind: It's been a pretty good week for Ivan. First he gets voted in to the Hall of Fame, then he gets airplay on HDT!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: No Anna, Annie...
	1:00pm Jeff Golick: Yay, Pudge.
	1:01pm Dominick: Ooh! this Danny O'Keefe is a long lost favorite.
	1:02pm Jeff Golick: [baseball talk] Sorta thought Posada deserved better, tho. [/baseball talk]
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, surprised about Posada.
	1:04pm johnk77: turing touring test
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: fake Smokey?
	1:08pm burke: Can there be real fire where there's fake Smokey?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	1:12pm Alex In Illinois: I used to get the Chuck Berry song Maybellene mixed up with the Chuck Berry song Nadine. Sometimes I still do.
	1:20pm Artie Haywire: That Buck sure has fun. (Clearly no relation to Joe)
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: Why do I dislike Joe Buck so much?
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Because he's horrid?
	1:23pm hyde: love this Hazlewood
	1:24pm melinda: hi folks
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Melinda!
	1:25pm still b/p: Joe Buck is Midnight Cowboy to me. The other sportzencaller is a stranger.
	1:26pm Lane Gray: In Jack Buck, the Midwest and plains had their favorite uncle: Joe is the cousin we wish would shut up and go away.
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: @Lane Gray, for the win.
	1:31pm Artie Haywire: Always going gee, when I really should haw.
	1:32pm melinda: I know a lot of people going to local marches.
	1:34pm Kris Holmes: Tuned in here at work, so please try not to get too freaky heh
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Oops.
	1:34pm still b/p: Gary Wright meets Crash Test Dummies.
	1:35pm annie: i love this...
	1:39pm geezerette: FMU is an oasis. :D
	1:44pm johnk77: incredible list of songwriters on the debut 3 dog night album including neil young on the loner
	1:44pm speedoman: afternoon. you had me googling Neil Young to make sure he hasn't died. keep it crazy.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: misterearlman!
	1:46pm geezerette: ...i shot my selfie. :)
	1:46pm 67tele: a changer of the ways he talks, huh? hmmm...
	1:49pm V Priceless: great soundtrack, Uncle M!
	1:50pm geezerette: yessir,good picks!
	1:51pm hyde: nice
	1:52pm geezerette: hyde! howdy.
	1:54pm holland oats: Afternoon UM et al. / Busing down to DC, brought ya along for the ride!
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: Holland!
	2:00pm annie: i swear i have no memory of how or when i first got turned onto "The Electrician", was it on one of the WB sampler LPs?
	2:00pm 23 Wolves: Great show today Unkle!
	2:01pm V Priceless: MOTT 4EVR
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks 23Wolves. Not sure, Annie. 4EVR, VP.

	2:13pm doctorjazz: (can we all join them in Vermont?)
	2:13pm doctorjazz: (maybe Canada, keep going)
	2:14pm geezerette: thinking same :)
	2:15pm rf: YEEEEYYYYYYY
	2:21pm Listener Robert: Catching up on comments -- Lane Gray, I wish I could adjust the latency on our 'net-based phone service, as it often cuts off the beginning of what my friend Bob says, as in the Wally Ballou/Balloo bits.
	2:21pm Parq: God, you're right -- the first FOW album will be 20 years old this year!
	2:22pm annie: i can handle almost anything played on FMU, but Amanda is where i draw the line..
	2:23pm annie: weebles wobble, and we still love you
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Amanda is WFMU and WFMU is Amanda.
	2:27pm βrian: Ms Reckonwith? I heard she left for a job in the Trump administration.
	2:30pm rf: ahhhhh
	2:33pm annie: youse guys still get my dough, though, so well... i'm open-minded, i just don't like to hear her. .... small change, really
	2:33pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Annie, dock me a buck for playing the power child.
	🛒 2:36pm Brian in UK: Uncle, quick hello then back to bed, feels like the end of the world in my body.
	🛒 2:37pm Brian in UK: Barrence cures all ills.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Feel better Brian.
	2:44pm annie: nah, UM, you did me huge favor last year, you are forgiven.!i'm just feeling rather peckish of late; this, too, shall pass..
	2:44pm Listener Robert: Yes, Brian, get better to appreciate the entertainment.
	2:45pm V Priceless: man, time is flying...almost three hours already?
	2:45pm Parq: Barrence Whitfield singing about Oscar Levant sums up the WFMUniverse as well as anything else I can think of.
	2:46pm doctorjazz: @Brian in UK, you ill, or just suffering from over celebrating the birthday (or cat overload)?
	2:47pm Dean: Another tune transcendentally performed by Keith Jarrett's trio sans lyrics.
	2:47pm Mike Sin: re: Let's Get Lost. Fine acting and direction, but not as insightful as I hoped it would be.
	2:48pm Dean: We'll blame that on your youth.
	2:50pm Lane Gray: My favorite Bobby Bare is Dropping Out of Sight for A While
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Mike! Good to know.
	2:51pm annie: i love these stupid sappy songs...

	2:59pm hyde: thanks Uncle Michael!
	2:59pm Jeff Golick: Thanks to you, @Uncle M.
	3:00pm annie: i've been meaning to read that jeff... it's bd enough for me reading the biography of tolstoy.. must be in the cosmos...
	3:01pm Jason Elbogen: Hi, Michael...are you paying attention to the clock?
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Yes, are you checking your email?
	3:02pm ndbob: excellent show UM - hopefully back to a more normal schedule soon
	3:02pm still b/p: Is it just me or are the first notes of the Cry Me A River lyric hard to hit accurately when you sing that first line aloud casually? Try it.
	3:02pm Jeff Golick: Hey, @Jason. Doug went over, too, so UM is paying it forward.
	3:02pm Jason Elbogen: not since I left Queens an hour ago...
	3:02pm annie: he wuz robbed, i tell ya!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 20, 2017

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.

	12:00pm Doug Schulkind: Running a couple of minutes over. My apologies, UM.
	12:00pm Kris Holmes: no danger of that here
	12:04pm annie: sitting in my seat, teach.
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Take it away, my radio brother.
	12:04pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! Sod the Inauguration!
	12:04pm hyde: can we talk about old inaugurations? like the one where Andrew Jackson's supporters trashed the White House and Jackson had to duck out a window and sleep somewhere else?
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Hi all, over to the next room, hi UM!
	12:05pm Parq: Hyde, so they had frat boys even then? Fuckin' brewskis!
	12:06pm still b/p: Spike the Egg-nog-ural!
	12:07pm Stevel: Yup. You pretty much captured what's going on in my mind.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Parq! Doug! Kris! Annie! VP! hyde! Doc! still b/p! Steve!
	12:08pm doctorjazz: www.nytimes.com... NY Times had an article on the Jackson inaugural.
	12:09pm SeanG: this is perfect
	12:09pm mauri: Hey UM!
	12:11pm Jeff Golick: Mmm-hmm.
	12:11pm Dean: A criminal law lesson via Twitter, remarkably: https://twitter.com/Popehat/status/822486754208821249
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Sean! Mauri! Dean!
	12:13pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M, Dinkettes
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	12:16pm still b/p: James Brown says it's Christmas....and we got coel in our stockings.
	12:17pm 67tele: Greetings all; it's still Friday eh
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Tele!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Friday hasn't been outlawed...yet.
	12:19pm Dominick: I got some groceries, some peanut butter
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Good thinking.
	12:20pm geezerette: Good Morning from LA LA LAND!!! Pumpkinhead is bellowing nonsense at us. God Bless Hinky-Dinky Land !
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Geezerette!
	12:21pm Jeff Golick: Listened to IV recently. Holds up.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	12:23pm Kris Holmes: that bowie sounded like the bosstones from a couple of rooms away :)
	12:23pm Jeff Golick: My toggle is broken.
	12:24pm listener jeff: Sorry to miss the first 23 minutes UM. I was listening to words and should have listened to the music play.
	12:25pm doctorjazz: Staying away from news as much as possible...
	12:27pm rf: yeeeeyyyy
	12:28pm Listener Robert: What kind of gate we talking here? All that comes to mind in context that might have a threshold would be the gate on a transistor triode -- like there's a pot you adjust such that any voltage less than whatever means that triode sees nothing.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! rf! Robert! Something like that...
	12:29pm Listener Robert: So for instance, an audio amplifier could have a setting such that less than a certain input keeps the output flat.
	12:29pm annie: i think he was loosening his belt
	12:30pm Listener Robert: Could be, annie...he's talking like it's still Xmas, so maybe eating like it too.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Noise gate on the mic processor...
	12:33pm geezerette: Ha! ain't it the truth!
	12:33pm Listener Robert: Meaning a squelch? Like below a certain threshold, 0 comes thru? Then yeah, that would function like (& probably be) a pot on the input to a linear transistor amp...unless this gate is already at the digital level.
	12:33pm 67tele: clever choice that Fanny
	12:33pm Parq: The original "Nowhere to Run" is used to terrific effect in Alan Carr's "The Commitments".
	12:35pm Listener Robert: So I looked up the Wikipedia entry for Squelch, and it linked to the entry Noise gate. Thanks for the education.
	12:39pm annie: the reading is safer here on the playlist, compared to my FB feeds. wait, let me get a stick for this horse over here lying all akimbo!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Right, the mic picks up below a theshhold, an the circuit stays closed. The threshold was set too high.
	12:40pm Alex In Illinois: This song was actually recorded before digitally sampling was invented. So either they did a lot of tape splicing or the singers were actually singing the same phrase over again.
	12:40pm Lane Gray: Hey y'all! After fighting with new carriers and new phones, I might be back after my absence
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Lane! Long time no read!
	12:41pm still b/p: One of the tests for whether you're talking to a robot: will it understand if you instruct it to get up and get down in order to enjoy itself?
	12:41pm geezerette: Sanity and civility are about to fly away in a Marine helicopter.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	12:42pm johnk77: drums were gated in the eighties and other times back in the day i am so old i survived nixon amdministration
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: John!
	12:43pm Alex In Illinois: @still b/p: Have you ever dealt with an entity that you were thought was some sort of 'bot or computer, but it turned out to be a human?
	12:45pm johnk77: also drum could trigger gate via sidechain yes on mistaking humans for bots
	12:46pm Lane Gray: Listener Robert, some multieffects units have a noise gate built into them, but they're never as simple as what you describe, as those are pretty much instant. I've never heard a noise gate with less than about 200ms latency. And in some amps, you can't disable them. VERY annoying if you put them after a volume pedal. When I hit a string, I damn well expect a note to jump out of the speaker. Hopefully Michael's lacks the latency
	12:46pm still b/p: @ Alex -- not past a phrase or two on the phone. You?
	12:46pm johnk77: nixon shitstem administration
	12:47pm SeanG: WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: my father had a Beautiful fisher amp equipped with a squelch control. boy i wish i had that amp now.
	12:48pm doctorjazz: The morning DJ tryouts have been fun to listen to...wouldn't want to be the one to make the final decision!
	12:49pm Lane Gray: Was John Miles associated with Supertramp? No I didn't get up and boogie. We're running late and I'm still lying in the sleeper as Ali (whose name makes me think of the Aristocats) drives across the Hoosier state.
	12:50pm V Priceless: yay Bonzos!
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Sen!
	12:52pm johnk77: fisher made some nice hardware avery fisher hall nyc now david geffen hall
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: (Sean!)
	12:54pm Parq: Leona: www.spaceagepop.com...
	12:54pm still b/p: Making music great again!
	12:54pm Parq: And if you just gotta have it: blog.wfmu.org...
	12:55pm Alex In Illinois: @still b/p: In some on-line conversations on some forum, I got the idea that a 'bot was posting, but never got confirmed that it was human, and years ago, an entity contacted my on a dating site, and I was never sure whether it was human or 'bot, since "her" conversation was very dull. At work, I once suggested that the behavior of a certain Database Administrator was more worthy of a 'bot than an organic entity. Examples of humans flunking the Touring Test.
	12:55pm Dean: For a right proper "Habanera," you could do worse than (the splendidly named) Conchita Supervia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGCSsZFr8TM
	12:55pm annie: so, then you have Anna Russel lined up?
	12:55pm doctorjazz: The Carmen Reminds me of Meryl Streep (that awful actress) as Florence Foster Jenkins
	12:57pm Doug Schulkind: It's been a pretty good week for Ivan. First he gets voted in to the Hall of Fame, then he gets airplay on HDT!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: No Anna, Annie...
	1:00pm Jeff Golick: Yay, Pudge.
	1:01pm Dominick: Ooh! this Danny O'Keefe is a long lost favorite.
	1:02pm Jeff Golick: [baseball talk] Sorta thought Posada deserved better, tho. [/baseball talk]
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, surprised about Posada.
	1:04pm johnk77: turing touring test
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: fake Smokey?
	1:08pm burke: Can there be real fire where there's fake Smokey?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	1:12pm Alex In Illinois: I used to get the Chuck Berry song Maybellene mixed up with the Chuck Berry song Nadine. Sometimes I still do.
	1:20pm Artie Haywire: That Buck sure has fun. (Clearly no relation to Joe)
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: Why do I dislike Joe Buck so much?
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Because he's horrid?
	1:23pm hyde: love this Hazlewood
	1:24pm melinda: hi folks
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Melinda!
	1:25pm still b/p: Joe Buck is Midnight Cowboy to me. The other sportzencaller is a stranger.
	1:26pm Lane Gray: In Jack Buck, the Midwest and plains had their favorite uncle: Joe is the cousin we wish would shut up and go away.
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: @Lane Gray, for the win.
	1:31pm Artie Haywire: Always going gee, when I really should haw.
	1:32pm melinda: I know a lot of people going to local marches.
	1:34pm Kris Holmes: Tuned in here at work, so please try not to get too freaky heh

	1:45pm Uncle Michael: misterearlman!
	1:46pm geezerette: ...i shot my selfie. :)
	1:46pm 67tele: a changer of the ways he talks, huh? hmmm...
	1:49pm V Priceless: great soundtrack, Uncle M!

	2:13pm doctorjazz: (maybe Canada, keep going)
	2:14pm geezerette: thinking same :)
	2:15pm rf: YEEEEYYYYYYY
	2:21pm Listener Robert: Catching up on comments -- Lane Gray, I wish I could adjust the latency on our 'net-based phone service, as it often cuts off the beginning of what my friend Bob says, as in the Wally Ballou/Balloo bits.
	2:21pm Parq: God, you're right -- the first FOW album will be 20 years old this year!
	2:22pm annie: i can handle almost anything played on FMU, but Amanda is where i draw the line..
	2:23pm annie: weebles wobble, and we still love you
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Amanda is WFMU and WFMU is Amanda.

	2:44pm Listener Robert: Yes, Brian, get better to appreciate the entertainment.
	2:45pm V Priceless: man, time is flying...almost three hours already?
	2:45pm Parq: Barrence Whitfield singing about Oscar Levant sums up the WFMUniverse as well as anything else I can think of.
	2:46pm doctorjazz: @Brian in UK, you ill, or just suffering from over celebrating the birthday (or cat overload)?
	2:47pm Dean: Another tune transcendentally performed by Keith Jarrett's trio sans lyrics.
	2:47pm Mike Sin: re: Let's Get Lost. Fine acting and direction, but not as insightful as I hoped it would be.
	2:48pm Dean: We'll blame that on your youth.
	2:50pm Lane Gray: My favorite Bobby Bare is Dropping Out of Sight for A While
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Mike! Good to know.

	3:02pm ndbob: excellent show UM - hopefully back to a more normal schedule soon
	3:02pm still b/p: Is it just me or are the first notes of the Cry Me A River lyric hard to hit accurately when you sing that first line aloud casually? Try it.
	3:02pm Jeff Golick: Hey, @Jason. Doug went over, too, so UM is paying it forward.
