	12:19pm Little Danny: * I don't think
	12:20pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the translation, @Scraps. Whole lotta soul this afternoon, UM! Great stuff! (Don't remember Timi Yuro, really great singer).

	12:22pm Parq: So many great versions of "Old Sun".
	12:23pm Little Danny: Great talkover music UM
	12:24pm Scraps: Poor old tired sun, having to never set in heaven.
	12:26pm glenn: i grew up in a place called nassagaweya, which, as my farmer forebears declared, is a mohawk word meaning "more fucking rocks than you could ever imagine".
	12:27pm Dean: That it's so easy to talk about bad news is precisely what makes me happy.
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: Good news: Four invoices out the door this week, more work a'comin', had a great editorial conference 2 weeks ago, and the one TV show I follow, Better Call Saul, returns next week! Small stuff but huge in my wee world.
	12:28pm glenn: i dismembered youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. oh, wrong one.
	12:28pm frenchee: OOH I love armhair-raising music AAAAHHHOOOOO
	12:29pm frenchee: Oh, @glenn, yooooouuuu are funny
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: PARQ! GLENN! DEAN! FRENCHEE!
	12:29pm doctorjazz: Sounds like he liked Roy Orbison a whole lot, this Frank Ifield.
	12:30pm frenchee: @doctorjazz, not to mention Slim Whitman.
	12:31pm frenchee: @listener James, did you see the Rolling Stone interview w/Bob O? Good stuff. He loves the Replacements. Still.
	12:32pm glenn: slim's actually pretty good.
	12:32pm frenchee: hell yeah Slim's pretty good.
	12:33pm Stanley: Ah Joni. Don't hear her much nowadays.
	12:33pm melinda: One of my favorite Joni Mitchell songs. Electricity, isn't it?
	12:33pm Scraps: Love Banquet.
	12:34pm Scraps: Love Electricity, too.
	12:35pm Scraps: Love all of For the Roses!
	12:35pm Roberto: Good afternoon, Uncle and Uncle-ites. The good news: it's freakin' Friday.

	12:35pm melinda: Yeah, great album.
	12:36pm Scraps: Love Joni all of the 70s!!
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: ROBERTO!
	12:39pm doctorjazz: Good news on this end-took off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week, plus the weekend, nice!
	12:39pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! Was wondering why this kinda sounded like the Association...cool
	12:40pm Jeff: Is the Modern Folk Quartet just like the Modern Jazz Quartet except, you know, really different?
	12:40pm ndbob: great set here UM!
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: frenchee: Haven't seen that one; I tend to shy away from things ahead of new seasons of the few shows I watch to come in cold.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: VP! JEFF!
	12:42pm Stanley: Yo, friends. I knocked off early today and have next week on holiday. Bound for Yorkshire - fine walking, great beer and good ol'honest fun. Cheers (raises glass of Belgian ale to message board)!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Have a great holiday, Stanley!
	12:45pm Jeff Golick: Similarly, is MC2 just like MC5 except, you know, really different?
	12:45pm Jeff Golick: Cheers, @Stanley.
	12:46pm Little Danny: I was just lamenting selling my Free Design LPs the other day...
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Stanley, guess that Whitby will be on the agenda. Have a large. (a very old 60s expression)
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Yes.
	12:46pm Marie: Sounds like bubble gum abuse to me!
	12:49pm Stanley: Thanks all.
	12:50pm frenchee: @james from west: no spoilers whatsoever. I hear ya tho.
	12:50pm Little Danny: Project 3 was an Enoch Light Enterprise™
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: @frenchee: Ah, excellent then!
	12:52pm listener james from westwood: Was very tempted to BLAST this track last night when the news came thru. Will do so now.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: greetings Unca M and HDinklettes (the H is silentish)
	12:52pm burke: Just like witches at black masses!
	12:53pm Marie: Thank you UM!
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: COELACANTH!∅
	12:54pm V Priceless: fish!
	12:54pm Parq: So this isn't' about Gorsuch?
	12:54pm Little Danny: coelacanth∅ is a pretty metal name now that I think about it.
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: ...but it DOES have something to do with today's headlines. -even if you hadn't planned it to.
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: Hey V! and i'll take it, Little Danny!
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: I think I selected this severl days ago like one of those dogs that can smell cancer.
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: (exactly.)
	12:57pm burke: @Parq no this is a reference to the new Sabbath Topical Cream which alleviates political anxiety
	1:04pm Marie: Wings--def. a guilty pleasure of mine.
	1:05pm still b/p: I was just walking home, happily anticipating what I'd get when I got here: hinky dinky hinky dinky hinky dinky!
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: SBP!
	1:06pm frenchee: UMMMMMM! UM, nice new old version of ROCK SHOW
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: i haven't heard this song in a few decades, but i knew it was different. i think i like it more than the one i used to hear.
	1:11pm burke: Sing it, Uncle!
	1:11pm frenchee: what @eoelacanthø said
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: hah! i definitely like it better!
	1:15pm Dominick: Unh huh!
	1:15pm Lane Gray: Looks like I arrived in time for the hillbilly hippies?
	1:16pm glenn: little feat - ish.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: Like this Daddy Cool, fun stuff!
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: LANE! Stonesey...
	1:17pm burke: J Geils-y
	1:18pm Lane Gray: Like Feat meet Clover, but left out the steel
	1:18pm Dominick: Great version by Del
	1:19pm Lane Gray: I can hear Stones. But both Ronnie and Keef like the honky-tonk
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: this reminds me of one of MY guilty pleasures... except i don't feel guilty for any of the music i like.
	1:20pm still b/p: "She" summons up in memory how the Monkees version sounded on a particular phonograph of childhood.
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: not the monkees in general; but i love that album, "more of the monkees"...except the songs i can't stand!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: DOMINICK!
	1:24pm frenchee: This reminds me: gotta get on that Scott Walker kick I've been planning since Bowie died.....
	1:24pm glenn: i kinda feel guilty for liking lady gaga, but not all that much.
	1:26pm still b/p: Monkees apparently didn't even know that second album was coming out, and didn't like it. Kirshner hustlin'.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: They were employees.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: Lady Gaga is one of those that i wish made music i liked, because i like HER. (& i have friends who play her at the bar)
	1:28pm still b/p: Careful...Mike will punch a hole in the wall.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I'll bill him for the wall.
	1:30pm ndbob: I like Lady Gaga and the Monkees
	1:31pm Roberto: Also good news: it's Hinky Dinky Time!
	1:31pm still b/p: He can cover the damage with Liquid Paper!
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: @1.26 i can't be surprised, but i didn't know that. ...i think the album's pretty damn good, except for a couple of the Davy Jones songs.
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: Is this song true, Lane?
	1:31pm V Priceless: Kinks!
	1:31pm glenn: and the kinks sounding dead - ish.
	1:32pm Roberto: Yes, what glenn said! Grateful Kinks!
	1:33pm glenn: i'm okay with that. two of my five fave bands.
	1:33pm coelacanth∅: (workingman's kinks?)
	1:34pm Roberto: I am very grateful for the Kinks.
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: glenn, what are the other 3? (always curious...)
	1:36pm Mark the Sardine: I'll just go with the bla bla, thanks
	1:39pm Lane Gray: Which song? I just missed several minutes
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: so, Del Shannon's "she" came before the monkees'? discogs says 1966.
	1:39pm still b/p: Respectable songs don't go blaless.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: MARK!
	1:40pm glenn: the kinks, of course, are the greatest rock band ever, followed by moby grape, the dead, magazine and the bee-attles.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Motorway, Lane.
	1:41pm Lane Gray: Asian modes on a. Farfisa?
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: If tey're the greatest, they're followed by everyone.
	1:41pm glenn: although magazine kinda lost it after john mcgeoch left.
	1:42pm Lane Gray: There was much painful truth in those words
	1:43pm ndbob: @coelecanth Yep - pretty sure Del was first
	1:44pm David D: I tune in just in time for Omar Khorshid - perfect!
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: DAVID!
	1:45pm David D: Also: Greetings Uncle Michael and Michaelisteners!
	1:45pm northguineahills: cumbia arcaica!
	1:45pm doctorjazz: This is shaping up to a really cool set! Just sayin...
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	1:46pm Lane Gray: Also in "Rolaids, Doan's Pills, and Preparation H" by either Dudley or Simpson (Red, not Homer)
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Hate to say it Doc...it's going to take a turn.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Puttin on my seat belt.
	1:47pm Mark the Sardine: Indeed, I swam over to catch the show today. Great set!
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: ndbob they must've both recorded it in '66, but Del's was released first. images.45cat.com... ...i guess that's how things went then. composers sold their songs to multiple people at once, if they could.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: It's a pretty relaxed turn.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Mark.
	1:51pm doctorjazz: I'm still braced for the turn...
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: cool, glenn. -i actually can't narrow it down without great apprehension! ...but when i was little it was the beatles; then when i started finding my own way musically, i had my list of favorites, which was separate from the beatles - who were in a league of their own to me.
	1:52pm David D: Hey Doctorjazz, I think the Tillerman is turning us right now.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: OK Cat Steven, that's a pretty sharp (if soft) turn.
	1:54pm doctorjazz: Cat Stevens seems to be making a (FMU) comeback, hearing a good amount of him these days.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Really? I mist delve.
	1:56pm Dean: What do Barbra Streisand, Richard Pryor, Sonny Rollins, David Bowie, and the Eagles have in common?
	1:56pm Dean: https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-17-029/
	1:59pm JP from KC: I don't know why it never occurred to me until now how influenced by Cat Stevens Ben Harper must be.
	2:03pm glenn: the jays are pitching really well, and hitting not so much.
	2:04pm JP from KC: CUBBIES! That 3 run dinger from Schwarber was a beauty!
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: Zo's error...not so much.
	2:06pm glenn: maybe cincinnati would trade us joey votto for stroman and justin smoak.
	2:07pm Jeff Golick: @Dean: thanks for the link. N.W.A.! Somewhere, Tipper feels a disturbance in the force.
	2:07pm glenn: i mean, i doubt it, but it never hurts to ask.
	2:07pm Lane Gray: CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!! Lonesome whistles are for Country songs.
	2:08pm ndbob: I need to go ina couple - excellent show UM - good to be back
	2:09pm ronzoni: nice segue
	2:09pm whomp: me and del were singin - Tom Petty (running down a dream)
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Great to have you back, Bob! RON! thnk
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: thanks*
	2:11pm glenn: this is del shannon??
	2:12pm doctorjazz: Gimme dat fuzz geetar!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: uh huh
	2:15pm glenn: although in 1968, i suppose a song like silver birch would do more business than a song like runaway, if one wanted to look at things from a cynical point of view.
	2:15pm Lane Gray: Although cultural appropriation is almost essential. You wouldn't have white rock and roll without Chuck Berry; you wouldn't have Chuck Berry's double-stops without Bill Monroe's mando chops, and you wouldn't have had Bill Monroe without a healthy dose of rural black Kentucky. So I was joking.
	2:15pm Jeff Golick: Sexercise, eh? How's that one?
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Research and report back, Jeff. It's a dirty job...
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: Love this Scientists. I think they re-recorded it a few times.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: hearing the scientists makes me miss a particular ex, who turned me on to it; and also Sue P.
	2:21pm David D: Gimme a great coveret!
	2:22pm Marie: I've always loved the song. I have a high bar for covers. To me, this is a good 'un
	2:25pm listener james from westwood: We've all been so verklempt at some point that food eludes us! That said—universe, bring this man a tamale!
	2:26pm Lane Gray: Me First is most excellent. I'm under the impression they're made up of a gaggle of session pros.
	2:28pm northguineahills: Two days ago it was 93F/34C, today it's 68F/20C in sunny Florigia.
	2:28pm glenn: i think nofx and lagwagon guys, maybe others?
	2:29pm glenn: i know, i'll use the google machine.
	2:30pm northguineahills: I'm curious about the unknown artist from the bed music....
	2:31pm Lane Gray: I shall miss my current band. The vagaries of modern commercial radio just blew up my band. The drummer lost his program director/deejay job, and is pulling the plug on the band. One last gig tomorrow night.
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: me too
	2:32pm Lane Gray: Del is/was pretty cool
	2:33pm northguineahills: If I remember my teenaged musicology, NOFX went from metal, to punk, to poppy-punk. Not my cup of Darjeeling, but hey!
	2:33pm glenn: For the uninitiated, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes consist of Lagwagon frontman Joey Cape on the guitar, Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) on the other guitar, Lagwagon drummer and Fat Wreck utility superhero Dave Raun on the skins, and are rounded out by Fat Wreck-head-honcho/NOFX main-dude Fat Mike, and incomparable crooner Spike Slawson.
	2:34pm northguineahills: Schiidt, Lane. Buena suerte!
	2:36pm Sue P.: @coelacanth∅ - if that is how i am remembered, i am most flattered and humbled. thx!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: That sucks, Lane. Time for a new band.
	2:38pm JP from KC: I play drums... but I don't have my own set anymore.
	2:39pm βrian: A drummer sans portfolio?
	2:40pm Lane Gray: Given that I only have one weekend off from the truck a month, I'm thinking of just letting everyone know there's a decent steel player available the second Saturday, and just sit in with people. Get a band when I get a new job. And I have an interview this evening.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Good luck with the interview!
	2:42pm davefromtoronto: what is this - a freak-out?!?
	2:44pm northguineahills: Kill that interview, Lane!
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: DAVE!
	2:45pm davefromtoronto: what's up Uncle M - diggin the show!
	2:50pm V Priceless: Cool show, Unc! Thanx!
	2:50pm JP from KC: Unfortunately, yes, Brian. People in neighboring apartments generally do not appreciate a drummer in their midst. Plus, while chicks dig a guy who plays an instrument, the enthusiasm tends to fade when they're forced to live with, and maneuver around said instrument during cohabitation.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: the voice of experience
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Thank VP!
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: time to really get to work. Thanks Uncle M Excellent program! later on y'all
	2:52pm David D: Thanks for the fine time, Uncle Michael! Have a good weekend, everyone!
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: (hmm -just recommended this song, Neil Young's version, to Little Danny last night.)
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Good Luck Lane! Great show UM, thanks @Coel, UM has found all the versions, and played them.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I got a million of 'em, Coel. Thanks David!
	2:55pm Lane Gray: JP,, what about the better electronic kits? I played an open show that had a set that sounded positively real, with the exception of being able to sit next to them and still hear my amp.
	2:55pm glenn: i'll bet that's george barnes on guitar.
	2:56pm ronzoni: thanks for a great hour, mike!
	2:56pm glenn: on red light, that is.
	2:56pm JP from KC: I used to be vehemently opposed to electronic kits, Lane, but I've been reconsidering my stance, as of late. Problem is, to get one of the better kits costs a pretty penny.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hangin', everyone. See you all next ime.
	2:57pm JP from KC: Thanks for the great show, UM! We need to get together soon!
	2:57pm Lane Gray: Although they take up the same living room real estate. BTW, I am in awe of drummers' ability to keep so many independent rhythms going with different parts of the body.
	2:58pm burke: Albatross already??
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: a thousand thanks, UM!
	2:59pm Lane Gray: Yeah. A good kit costs as much as a good pedal steel. Maybe even more, and to replace my guitar with new would run between 5 and 6 grand.
	2:59pm Mark the Sardine: Ahh show is done already? Great show today.
	2:59pm JP from KC: How I learned is a bit of an interesting story, Lane. I'll have to tell you sometime.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks folks.
	3:01pm northguineahills: Danke, UM!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 7, 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.

	12:24pm Scraps: Poor old tired sun, having to never set in heaven.
	12:26pm glenn: i grew up in a place called nassagaweya, which, as my farmer forebears declared, is a mohawk word meaning "more fucking rocks than you could ever imagine".
	12:27pm Dean: That it's so easy to talk about bad news is precisely what makes me happy.
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: Good news: Four invoices out the door this week, more work a'comin', had a great editorial conference 2 weeks ago, and the one TV show I follow, Better Call Saul, returns next week! Small stuff but huge in my wee world.
	12:28pm glenn: i dismembered youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. oh, wrong one.

	12:39pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! Was wondering why this kinda sounded like the Association...cool
	12:40pm Jeff: Is the Modern Folk Quartet just like the Modern Jazz Quartet except, you know, really different?
	12:40pm ndbob: great set here UM!
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: frenchee: Haven't seen that one; I tend to shy away from things ahead of new seasons of the few shows I watch to come in cold.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: VP! JEFF!
	12:42pm Stanley: Yo, friends. I knocked off early today and have next week on holiday. Bound for Yorkshire - fine walking, great beer and good ol'honest fun. Cheers (raises glass of Belgian ale to message board)!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Have a great holiday, Stanley!
	12:45pm Jeff Golick: Similarly, is MC2 just like MC5 except, you know, really different?
	12:45pm Jeff Golick: Cheers, @Stanley.
	12:46pm Little Danny: I was just lamenting selling my Free Design LPs the other day...
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Stanley, guess that Whitby will be on the agenda. Have a large. (a very old 60s expression)
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Yes.
	12:46pm Marie: Sounds like bubble gum abuse to me!
	12:49pm Stanley: Thanks all.
	12:50pm frenchee: @james from west: no spoilers whatsoever. I hear ya tho.
	12:50pm Little Danny: Project 3 was an Enoch Light Enterprise™
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: @frenchee: Ah, excellent then!
	12:52pm listener james from westwood: Was very tempted to BLAST this track last night when the news came thru. Will do so now.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: greetings Unca M and HDinklettes (the H is silentish)
	12:52pm burke: Just like witches at black masses!
	12:53pm Marie: Thank you UM!
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: COELACANTH!∅
	12:54pm V Priceless: fish!
	12:54pm Parq: So this isn't' about Gorsuch?
	12:54pm Little Danny: coelacanth∅ is a pretty metal name now that I think about it.
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: ...but it DOES have something to do with today's headlines. -even if you hadn't planned it to.
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: Hey V! and i'll take it, Little Danny!
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: I think I selected this severl days ago like one of those dogs that can smell cancer.
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: (exactly.)
	12:57pm burke: @Parq no this is a reference to the new Sabbath Topical Cream which alleviates political anxiety
	1:04pm Marie: Wings--def. a guilty pleasure of mine.
	1:05pm still b/p: I was just walking home, happily anticipating what I'd get when I got here: hinky dinky hinky dinky hinky dinky!
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: SBP!
	1:06pm frenchee: UMMMMMM! UM, nice new old version of ROCK SHOW
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: i haven't heard this song in a few decades, but i knew it was different. i think i like it more than the one i used to hear.
	1:11pm burke: Sing it, Uncle!
	1:11pm frenchee: what @eoelacanthø said
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: hah! i definitely like it better!
	1:15pm Dominick: Unh huh!
	1:15pm Lane Gray: Looks like I arrived in time for the hillbilly hippies?
	1:16pm glenn: little feat - ish.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: Like this Daddy Cool, fun stuff!
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: LANE! Stonesey...
	1:17pm burke: J Geils-y
	1:18pm Lane Gray: Like Feat meet Clover, but left out the steel
	1:18pm Dominick: Great version by Del
	1:19pm Lane Gray: I can hear Stones. But both Ronnie and Keef like the honky-tonk
	1:19pm coelacanth∅: this reminds me of one of MY guilty pleasures... except i don't feel guilty for any of the music i like.
	1:20pm still b/p: "She" summons up in memory how the Monkees version sounded on a particular phonograph of childhood.
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: not the monkees in general; but i love that album, "more of the monkees"...except the songs i can't stand!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: DOMINICK!
	1:24pm frenchee: This reminds me: gotta get on that Scott Walker kick I've been planning since Bowie died.....
	1:24pm glenn: i kinda feel guilty for liking lady gaga, but not all that much.
	1:26pm still b/p: Monkees apparently didn't even know that second album was coming out, and didn't like it. Kirshner hustlin'.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: They were employees.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: Lady Gaga is one of those that i wish made music i liked, because i like HER. (& i have friends who play her at the bar)
	1:28pm still b/p: Careful...Mike will punch a hole in the wall.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I'll bill him for the wall.
	1:30pm ndbob: I like Lady Gaga and the Monkees
	1:31pm Roberto: Also good news: it's Hinky Dinky Time!
	1:31pm still b/p: He can cover the damage with Liquid Paper!
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: @1.26 i can't be surprised, but i didn't know that. ...i think the album's pretty damn good, except for a couple of the Davy Jones songs.
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: Is this song true, Lane?
	1:31pm V Priceless: Kinks!
	1:31pm glenn: and the kinks sounding dead - ish.
	1:32pm Roberto: Yes, what glenn said! Grateful Kinks!
	1:33pm glenn: i'm okay with that. two of my five fave bands.
	1:33pm coelacanth∅: (workingman's kinks?)
	1:34pm Roberto: I am very grateful for the Kinks.
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: glenn, what are the other 3? (always curious...)
	1:36pm Mark the Sardine: I'll just go with the bla bla, thanks
	1:39pm Lane Gray: Which song? I just missed several minutes
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: so, Del Shannon's "she" came before the monkees'? discogs says 1966.
	1:39pm still b/p: Respectable songs don't go blaless.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: MARK!
	1:40pm glenn: the kinks, of course, are the greatest rock band ever, followed by moby grape, the dead, magazine and the bee-attles.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Motorway, Lane.
	1:41pm Lane Gray: Asian modes on a. Farfisa?
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: If tey're the greatest, they're followed by everyone.
	1:41pm glenn: although magazine kinda lost it after john mcgeoch left.
	1:42pm Lane Gray: There was much painful truth in those words
	1:43pm ndbob: @coelecanth Yep - pretty sure Del was first
	1:44pm David D: I tune in just in time for Omar Khorshid - perfect!
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: DAVID!
	1:45pm David D: Also: Greetings Uncle Michael and Michaelisteners!
	1:45pm northguineahills: cumbia arcaica!
	1:45pm doctorjazz: This is shaping up to a really cool set! Just sayin...
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	1:46pm Lane Gray: Also in "Rolaids, Doan's Pills, and Preparation H" by either Dudley or Simpson (Red, not Homer)
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Hate to say it Doc...it's going to take a turn.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Puttin on my seat belt.
	1:47pm Mark the Sardine: Indeed, I swam over to catch the show today. Great set!
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: ndbob they must've both recorded it in '66, but Del's was released first. images.45cat.com... ...i guess that's how things went then. composers sold their songs to multiple people at once, if they could.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: It's a pretty relaxed turn.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Mark.
	1:51pm doctorjazz: I'm still braced for the turn...
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: cool, glenn. -i actually can't narrow it down without great apprehension! ...but when i was little it was the beatles; then when i started finding my own way musically, i had my list of favorites, which was separate from the beatles - who were in a league of their own to me.
	1:52pm David D: Hey Doctorjazz, I think the Tillerman is turning us right now.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: OK Cat Steven, that's a pretty sharp (if soft) turn.
	1:54pm doctorjazz: Cat Stevens seems to be making a (FMU) comeback, hearing a good amount of him these days.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Really? I mist delve.
	1:56pm Dean: What do Barbra Streisand, Richard Pryor, Sonny Rollins, David Bowie, and the Eagles have in common?
	1:56pm Dean: https://www.loc.gov/item/prn-17-029/
	1:59pm JP from KC: I don't know why it never occurred to me until now how influenced by Cat Stevens Ben Harper must be.
	2:03pm glenn: the jays are pitching really well, and hitting not so much.
	2:04pm JP from KC: CUBBIES! That 3 run dinger from Schwarber was a beauty!
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: Zo's error...not so much.
	2:06pm glenn: maybe cincinnati would trade us joey votto for stroman and justin smoak.
	2:07pm Jeff Golick: @Dean: thanks for the link. N.W.A.! Somewhere, Tipper feels a disturbance in the force.
	2:07pm glenn: i mean, i doubt it, but it never hurts to ask.
	2:07pm Lane Gray: CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!! Lonesome whistles are for Country songs.
	2:08pm ndbob: I need to go ina couple - excellent show UM - good to be back
	2:09pm ronzoni: nice segue
	2:09pm whomp: me and del were singin - Tom Petty (running down a dream)
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Great to have you back, Bob! RON! thnk
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: thanks*
	2:11pm glenn: this is del shannon??
	2:12pm doctorjazz: Gimme dat fuzz geetar!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: uh huh
	2:15pm glenn: although in 1968, i suppose a song like silver birch would do more business than a song like runaway, if one wanted to look at things from a cynical point of view.
	2:15pm Lane Gray: Although cultural appropriation is almost essential. You wouldn't have white rock and roll without Chuck Berry; you wouldn't have Chuck Berry's double-stops without Bill Monroe's mando chops, and you wouldn't have had Bill Monroe without a healthy dose of rural black Kentucky. So I was joking.
	2:15pm Jeff Golick: Sexercise, eh? How's that one?
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Research and report back, Jeff. It's a dirty job...
	2:17pm Jeff Golick: Love this Scientists. I think they re-recorded it a few times.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: hearing the scientists makes me miss a particular ex, who turned me on to it; and also Sue P.
	2:21pm David D: Gimme a great coveret!
	2:22pm Marie: I've always loved the song. I have a high bar for covers. To me, this is a good 'un
	2:25pm listener james from westwood: We've all been so verklempt at some point that food eludes us! That said—universe, bring this man a tamale!
	2:26pm Lane Gray: Me First is most excellent. I'm under the impression they're made up of a gaggle of session pros.
	2:28pm northguineahills: Two days ago it was 93F/34C, today it's 68F/20C in sunny Florigia.
	2:28pm glenn: i think nofx and lagwagon guys, maybe others?
	2:29pm glenn: i know, i'll use the google machine.
	2:30pm northguineahills: I'm curious about the unknown artist from the bed music....
	2:31pm Lane Gray: I shall miss my current band. The vagaries of modern commercial radio just blew up my band. The drummer lost his program director/deejay job, and is pulling the plug on the band. One last gig tomorrow night.
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: me too
	2:32pm Lane Gray: Del is/was pretty cool
	2:33pm northguineahills: If I remember my teenaged musicology, NOFX went from metal, to punk, to poppy-punk. Not my cup of Darjeeling, but hey!
	2:33pm glenn: For the uninitiated, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes consist of Lagwagon frontman Joey Cape on the guitar, Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters) on the other guitar, Lagwagon drummer and Fat Wreck utility superhero Dave Raun on the skins, and are rounded out by Fat Wreck-head-honcho/NOFX main-dude Fat Mike, and incomparable crooner Spike Slawson.
	2:34pm northguineahills: Schiidt, Lane. Buena suerte!
	2:36pm Sue P.: @coelacanth∅ - if that is how i am remembered, i am most flattered and humbled. thx!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: That sucks, Lane. Time for a new band.
	2:38pm JP from KC: I play drums... but I don't have my own set anymore.
	2:39pm βrian: A drummer sans portfolio?
	2:40pm Lane Gray: Given that I only have one weekend off from the truck a month, I'm thinking of just letting everyone know there's a decent steel player available the second Saturday, and just sit in with people. Get a band when I get a new job. And I have an interview this evening.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Good luck with the interview!
	2:42pm davefromtoronto: what is this - a freak-out?!?
	2:44pm northguineahills: Kill that interview, Lane!
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: DAVE!
	2:45pm davefromtoronto: what's up Uncle M - diggin the show!
	2:50pm V Priceless: Cool show, Unc! Thanx!
	2:50pm JP from KC: Unfortunately, yes, Brian. People in neighboring apartments generally do not appreciate a drummer in their midst. Plus, while chicks dig a guy who plays an instrument, the enthusiasm tends to fade when they're forced to live with, and maneuver around said instrument during cohabitation.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: the voice of experience
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Thank VP!
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: time to really get to work. Thanks Uncle M Excellent program! later on y'all
	2:52pm David D: Thanks for the fine time, Uncle Michael! Have a good weekend, everyone!
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: (hmm -just recommended this song, Neil Young's version, to Little Danny last night.)
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Good Luck Lane! Great show UM, thanks @Coel, UM has found all the versions, and played them.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I got a million of 'em, Coel. Thanks David!
	2:55pm Lane Gray: JP,, what about the better electronic kits? I played an open show that had a set that sounded positively real, with the exception of being able to sit next to them and still hear my amp.
	2:55pm glenn: i'll bet that's george barnes on guitar.
	2:56pm ronzoni: thanks for a great hour, mike!
	2:56pm glenn: on red light, that is.
	2:56pm JP from KC: I used to be vehemently opposed to electronic kits, Lane, but I've been reconsidering my stance, as of late. Problem is, to get one of the better kits costs a pretty penny.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hangin', everyone. See you all next ime.
	2:57pm JP from KC: Thanks for the great show, UM! We need to get together soon!
	2:57pm Lane Gray: Although they take up the same living room real estate. BTW, I am in awe of drummers' ability to keep so many independent rhythms going with different parts of the body.
	2:58pm burke: Albatross already??
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: a thousand thanks, UM!
	2:59pm Lane Gray: Yeah. A good kit costs as much as a good pedal steel. Maybe even more, and to replace my guitar with new would run between 5 and 6 grand.
	2:59pm Mark the Sardine: Ahh show is done already? Great show today.
	2:59pm JP from KC: How I learned is a bit of an interesting story, Lane. I'll have to tell you sometime.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks folks.
	3:01pm northguineahills: Danke, UM!
