	🛒 12:03pm Brian in UK: Is that the time. Our clocks go forward on Sunday.
	12:03pm Roberto: Unky Mikey!
	12:05pm Parq: UM, you've probably told the story behind the "My Hometown" series before, but can we get a brief recap?
	12:06pm Funky16Corners: Windcup.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Doug! Brian! Joe! Parq! Larry! Brian! Roberto!
	12:08pm northguineahills: I missed this week's "My hometown".
	12:08pm Sem: Hello, UM, HDs, hoboesque listeners, stream tubers, scullers on the stream, and all.
	12:09pm joe: Hey how could I let a face like that be "parentless"?
	12:09pm Stevel: If you give a little more than you're asking for, you suck as a capitalist.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Sem! Steve! (I really do)
	12:10pm Roberto: I recall when this song was a radio hit and I was about 12 wondering WTF does "I want to be your everything" mean?
	12:11pm northguineahills: It probably doesn't mean 'become one w/ the universe and existence".
	12:12pm Funky16Corners: Chaka!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I'll chat a bit about My Hometown...because I never have!
	12:13pm Parq: Cool.
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: I'm the Chairman of the comment board.
	12:19pm listener james from westwood: Whoo, was on a conference call during end-of-Doug and start-of-UM, but happy to be here now!
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: James!
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Hey Unc! Hey all!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	12:23pm annie: late .... yet i'm listening now..
	🛒 12:23pm Brian in UK: That Charles Dickens gets everywhere.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Annie!
	12:25pm Funky16Corners: I always wondered what this song was called! One of the persistent melodies of my childhood.
	12:25pm Parq: I love "Puppet on a String". I dunno why; it just grabs me.
	12:26pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! Nice Cooper cover at the H&M!
	🛒 12:26pm Brian in UK: @F16C Written by Bill Martin & Phil Coulter. Won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1967. sounds more like the soundtrack to an obscure Czech cartoon.
	12:26pm joe: Test Card F
	12:27pm joe: Thank you and one of my all time favorite bands. You know how to make a guy blush.
	12:27pm gloomsday: UM! :) hello, everyone~
	12:30pm βrian: Can a radio station be referenced?
	12:32pm johnk77: thanks for sweet poppa joe did not know chinnichap were calypsonians:> single did not chart in the states but #1 finland, denmark, norway!
	12:33pm βrian: I can't wait for the "Flint" version. Especially if they mention the water.
	12:34pm Parq: Thanks for all that, Michael. Quite an interesting tidbit of radio trivia.
	12:35pm doctorjazz: Hey Larry!
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: VP! thanks! Gloomsday! John!
	12:37pm Rich in Washington: love this brutal Birthday Party swan song.
	12:37pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I suspect that the Al Hirt version is the one I remember from my parents "beautiful music" listening in the car. It's the one that charted over here. Quite the earworm.
	12:37pm Parq: I'm thinking of that woman, sitting in a studio, singing the same melody over and over, who knows how many times, trying to keep up the same cheerful demeanor for each new set of lyrics. That's what I call a pro.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Parq, and she did her own harmony tracks too!
	12:40pm Asheville Jon: UM !!!
	12:40pm still b/p: Puppet On A String....I Love Louisa....just sayin'.
	12:40pm johnk77: is this the embarrassment that had woody the drummer later a del fuego?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: My Hometown: smallproblem.com...
	12:43pm johnk77: answering my own question yes self described as blister pop
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Yes John...the Embarrassment was from Wichita (not Falls).
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: Cor blimey guvnor.
	12:46pm Dominick: Mitch Miller would be proud
	12:47pm northguineahills: Wow, old school Gunners, back when they were at Highbury. Have no idea how you found this! Emirates doesn't have the same feel.
	12:47pm listener james from westwood: Just a word to show how WFMU stands head and shoulders and every damn thing above the rest. I followed a Twitter link to the blog of a DJ for Another NYC Station and they mentioned that said station only keeps show archives up for TWO WEEKS. Compare that with some of FMU's archives now being roughly old enough to be freakin' DRAFTED. What a damn value you get for your pledge money here.
	12:47pm V Priceless: Wow Strawbs!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: I'm afraid things have gotten a bit limey. Will fix...
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: Wasn't the flip to this a big hit in the UK?
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: yup
	🛒 12:51pm Brian in UK: Always thought it was called Wild(e) Mountain Thyme.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Did I mess up? It does happen.
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: I got that right! (whew)
	12:52pm Funky16Corners: It's been retitled a bunch of times. Traditional song.
	12:52pm Stevel: Decent cover of JR/I'm Straight. www.youtube.com...
	🛒 12:52pm Brian in UK: No, guess that is what they decided to call it.
	12:55pm joe: I personally would never dismiss a great reduction in the price of beer. But I understand there are other priorities.
	12:55pm Parq: Great Lovers song, but I've gotten so tired of whiny reactionaries that I sort of want to see Hippie Johnny punch his lights out.
	12:55pm Roberto: Oh noes I got Dear God teased!
	12:56pm Greg O. Rianchants: Can I make a request?
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: Combine Rock and Cockney. Never been in the Blockheads to my knowledge.
	12:58pm joe: Oh so there was a connection I thought I heard a lot of Blockhead in there
	1:00pm joe: It seems that Chas and Dave had their own varitiy show in the early 80's and seems to appear on Youtube www.youtube.com...
	1:00pm joe: ME!
	🛒 1:02pm Brian in UK: Uncle, s'funny the other day it was an early Spring morning walking Spencer the beagle and it occurred to me that it was a Witchita Lineman morning.
	1:03pm Dominick: perfection
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	1:04pm northguineahills: BS!!!
	1:05pm Roberto: BS is no BS.
	1:05pm doctorjazz: Great Springfield!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	1:08pm Alex in Illinois: Me Sleng Teng! My Brooklyn roommate used to play this record back in 1988.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: OK, so this set...it's like...someone that doesn't know how to cook at the Mongolian grill. I admit it. Alex!
	1:09pm northguineahills: Wow, a digi-dub classic, Wayne Smith! (The Sleng Teng riddim is still one of the main riddims of dancehall etc).
	1:09pm listener james from westwood: Never gonna say no to "Galveston" and Buffalo Springfield back to back. (And go heavy on the garlic sauce.)
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: School me, NGH.
	1:12pm northguineahills: That was the first (Wayne Smith) song to use the Sleng Teng riddim. Now Sleng Teng is riddim is almost synonymous w/ dancehall. (there are other riddims, but you hear Sleng Teng more then any other).
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: UM - Have you ever seen the SCTV skit where Merv Griffin is the sherriff of Mayberry? Dave Thomas as Gomer Pyle as Fred Travalena singing Galveston features prominently.
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: This sounds like an actual "sex machine".
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Yes. How can I forget Merv's butt?
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: Ooooooo, we'll be right back!
	1:15pm Parq: Calling David Dichelle.
	1:16pm Parq: That's it. I'm changing the name of my autobiography to "How Can I Forget Merv's Butt".
	1:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Uncle Michael!
	1:16pm Funky16Corners: Eva Gabor beat you to it
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Wendy! I've told my Merv and Ava story before.
	1:18pm Funky16Corners: Do tell (again)!
	1:18pm Sem: Channeling Stevie W here, pretty hard.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: plays guitar better than Stevie
	1:22pm northguineahills: Ja, UM!
	1:24pm northguineahills: I found a thrift store strip tease record from the 60s that said it included a thong (thankfully it was not included when I got it).
	1:24pm joe: Vexillology has never interested me more.
	1:26pm Roberto: Is this another tease?
	1:26pm βrian: You bought that record for a thong?
	1:26pm joe: We have the technology
	1:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: Brian: haha, good one!
	1:28pm northguineahills: Is this a Bud Light commercial?
	1:30pm joe: What was that amazing flutter of fuzz guitar that just peeped through?
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: It's legit part of the track!
	1:31pm northguineahills: No, i was relieved said thong was not included (who knew where it might have been).
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: we could speculate
	1:32pm northguineahills: (I already have enough thongs as it is, thank you very much!)
	1:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Do you think David Byrne heard this Dinks song before he wrote "I Zimbra"?
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Maybe!
	1:42pm burke: 1951...Cooke must have been a baby. Still: no mistaking that voice.
	1:43pm Parq: Thongs for the memories, NGH.
	1:44pm Sem: Yep, a good one. Thanks, UM.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Burke!
	1:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww. "Misty" is my dear Mema's favorite song. When I was 3 years old, I helped her pick out a puppy -- a Miniature Schnauzer -- and she named him Misty. So, this song is very special to me. Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	1:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: No! My grandma! But thanks, UM. :-)
	1:51pm northguineahills: Thanks for getting my bday weekend UM, off to lunch!
	1:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: My Mema is totally special, and she spoiled us just enough. She also danced the polka at her 90th birthday (paging DJ Stashu!).
	1:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Happy birthday to you, northguineahills! I hope there's lots of cake (and cheese) involved.
	1:53pm Parq: Wendy, our beloved little wire-haired dox was named Misty, although she was named (by our then pre-teen daughter) for the character in the Pokemon cartoons.
	1:54pm Funky16Corners: HBD NGH!
	1:55pm northguineahills: Happy thanks 2 uuuuus!
	1:56pm Parq: Wire-haired dachshunds are historically part mini Schnauzer, so our Misty dogs probably looked somewhat alike.
	1:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Parq, I didn't know you had a Misty dog too. Hooray for little gray doggies.
	1:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: I've been thinking about Donny Hathaway for the last few days, not for any reason other than I like him, and "Right on, Maude!" is a nice thing to think about.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: the notion of "everything" keeps coming up today. Chaka, Andy, Sam, Donny...
	2:00pm northguineahills: @Wendy: I wish you could cater my next cheese gathering. (I'm lactose intolerant, but I love good cheese)
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: a lot of aged cheeses have no lactose!
	2:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: NGH: I would gladly do it! And you know you can eat most cheeses, even if lactose-intolerant, right? I did a thing about it on Wake & Bake in the last few months.
	2:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: UM: ALL aged cheeses have no lactose. It's true!
	2:02pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael & everybody!
	2:03pm northguineahills: Yeah, there are many low-lactose aged cheeses, and goat and sheep cheeses doesn't hit me as hard either. (But I don't mind suffering for that sweet, sweet cheesy goodness once or twice a week. edit: oh, you already mentioned aged cheeses.
	2:04pm Guido from Cologne: In history of humanity there were cheese eaters before milk drinkers and possibly beeer drinkers before eaters of cereals.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Guido!
	2:06pm βrian: Oh, my. You're talking cheese??
	🛒 2:06pm Brian in UK: Uncle, I think that it is fair to say that you are back at the controls.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Brian.
	2:09pm βrian: I think I still have that DVD documentary on the "Cheese Nun" kicking around somewhere.
	2:09pm johnk77: great show @um thinking about a bike ride to harlem after this show:> weather has cleared up nicely in nyc
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Uncle Michael's favorite food is...cheese.
	2:14pm joe: BASF they dont' make the music they just make it better.
	2:14pm βrian: Cheese is the reason I can't be vegan. Oh, and seafood, I guess.
	2:15pm Guido from Cologne: Funnily: It was recently re-issued. (The Oscar Peterson Trio + The Singers Unlimited)
	2:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Uncle Michael and Brian: I approve!
	2:18pm tom from Glasgow: this has been a good soundtrack to being stuck in traffic for like 2 hours
	2:18pm tom from Glasgow: my view on cheese: it's good
	2:19pm burke: yeah Like a Hurricane
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: Tom!
	2:22pm Dominick: This came out in 69
	2:22pm Bill Mac: Did not appreciate this tune as a teenager. To be able to sing like him or Reverend Al
	2:23pm βrian: Poltergeists in the stream.
	2:23pm Bill Mac: @Domenick OK, then, as an 11 year old.
	2:24pm βrian: I'm tempted to go straight home and fill my bathtub with warm Délice De Bourgogne.
	2:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Tom from Glasgow: that is the correct answer.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Bill! Thanks, Dom.
	2:26pm Bill Mac: Nice show, brother!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: I'll take that as a compliment, coming from a DJ after my own ears.
	2:28pm βrian: At last year's Cheese Society event, a Wisconsin maker won top honors. But I just can't find that damn cheese anywhere. Damn the electric fence!
	2:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Brian, was it Rush Creek by Uplands? It may not be the electric fence. That cheese has always been in very limited supply.
	2:34pm Bill Mac: No worries Mike. It's all about the music... AND the cheese!
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: I play a lot of cheese. Read my playlist!
	2:35pm βrian: Little Mountain Cheese by Roelli. Alpine cheeses are not something I usually seek out, but apparently this one is really nice. Love the Uplands products, too. I can usually find them.
	2:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bill, will you change your on-air name to "Bill Mac & Cheese"?
	🛒 2:35pm Brian in UK: Wendy, had some tasty Sardinian cheeses the other week. One a Pecorino style but not too salty. One a Reggiano style and another blue. No idea of the names as I did not buy them.
	2:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: Roelli! I used to love their Dunbarton Blue when I was a 'monger in Fort Greene. Brian in UK, did you know most pecorino romano is now made in Sardinia? They have more sheep than people! Just stay away from Casu Marzu. ;-)
	2:38pm Bill Mac: I may adjust the pseudonym to reflect that. but only if it's appropriate. @UM Al of gotta say is Glen Campbell, Buffalo Springfield, and Wayne Smith are a pretty sharp turn - nicely done!
	2:38pm Dominick: I like-a to chew
	2:39pm Mark Hurst: "Have you in fact got any cheese here at all?"
	2:39pm Sem: No, I was deliberately wasting your time.
	2:39pm Listening Out There: Whuddayaknow...playlist is accessible. Was broked the last time I tried to abuse it...
	2:39pm burke: No way dude Gene Clark is from Tipton, Missouri! Final resting place is there too.
	2:41pm joe: Sparks? BEck?
	2:41pm V Priceless: Spirit, but they always sounded like Spirit, for the most part
	2:41pm Bill Mac: You haven't asked about limburger sir
	2:42pm burke: Upon further investigation it would seem that both Missouri and Kansas can claim to be Gene Clark's origin
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Mark! Yeah, not born in Kansas...grew up here.
	2:45pm Dominick: Que rico!
	2:47pm V Priceless: Dr. Feelgood does a nice version of this
	2:48pm Mr Wensleydale: Uncle great show, to the kitchen. Plaice with breadcrumb and Grana Padano topping, butter and olive oil. Oven for twelve minutes.
	2:48pm Sem: Is it worth it?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: LOT! MrW!
	2:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks Mr Wensleydale! Grana Padano is an unsung hero of the cheese world.
	2:49pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I am dairy free for the most part, but do eat cheese and butter. They have low lactose. Gluten free also. Feel 100x better and more regular.
	2:50pm βrian: @Wendy: Not sure if they still make it, but have you ever had Orb Weaver, from the Middlebury area?
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Wild Neil!
	2:53pm Listening Out There: UM, it's just me. It's not the Second Coming...or John Bolton...
	🛒 2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc...I think we're back in Kansas.
	2:54pm βrian: I have memories of eating that cheese during cool fall weather, and washing it down with tart apple cider. So lovely.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:55pm Sem: Wearing a tie-dyed tie for this one. Been fun, UM, and all. See you next time.
	2:55pm βrian: I was going to say this sounded like the Grateful Dead ... but I didn't want to be rude. [Hee.]
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Sem.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: My boys! Go Jerry!
	2:56pm Santos L Halper: Great show Uncle, and thanks for this GDTRFB
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Santos!
	2:56pm Jeff Golick: Basically the one Dead song I know. Hi, just getting to the radio now, due to work-like commitments today.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:58pm burke: Rock on. Thanks
	2:58pm Mark Hurst: That was a great set. Thanks, U.M.!
	2:58pm Scraps h’m (h’m): whew
	2:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: Brian: I started selling Orb Weaver at my first 'monger gig in 1995!
	2:58pm Funky16Corners: Great show UM!
	2:59pm tom from Glasgow: cheers Uncle M!
	2:59pm βrian: Thanks, Uncle Michael. Don't forget to water the roof.
	2:59pm Guido from Cologne: Cu Michael
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: ta ta!
	3:01pm doctorjazz: Thanks UM!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 23, 2018

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.

	12:03pm Funky16Corners: hey hey hey
	🛒 12:03pm Brian in UK: Is that the time. Our clocks go forward on Sunday.
	12:03pm Roberto: Unky Mikey!
	12:05pm Parq: UM, you've probably told the story behind the "My Hometown" series before, but can we get a brief recap?
	12:06pm Funky16Corners: Windcup.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Doug! Brian! Joe! Parq! Larry! Brian! Roberto!
	12:08pm northguineahills: I missed this week's "My hometown".
	12:08pm Sem: Hello, UM, HDs, hoboesque listeners, stream tubers, scullers on the stream, and all.
	12:09pm joe: Hey how could I let a face like that be "parentless"?
	12:09pm Stevel: If you give a little more than you're asking for, you suck as a capitalist.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Sem! Steve! (I really do)
	12:10pm Roberto: I recall when this song was a radio hit and I was about 12 wondering WTF does "I want to be your everything" mean?
	12:11pm northguineahills: It probably doesn't mean 'become one w/ the universe and existence".
	12:12pm Funky16Corners: Chaka!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I'll chat a bit about My Hometown...because I never have!
	12:13pm Parq: Cool.
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: I'm the Chairman of the comment board.
	12:19pm listener james from westwood: Whoo, was on a conference call during end-of-Doug and start-of-UM, but happy to be here now!
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: James!
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Hey Unc! Hey all!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	12:23pm annie: late .... yet i'm listening now..
	🛒 12:23pm Brian in UK: That Charles Dickens gets everywhere.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Annie!
	12:25pm Funky16Corners: I always wondered what this song was called! One of the persistent melodies of my childhood.
	12:25pm Parq: I love "Puppet on a String". I dunno why; it just grabs me.
	12:26pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M! Nice Cooper cover at the H&M!
	🛒 12:26pm Brian in UK: @F16C Written by Bill Martin & Phil Coulter. Won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1967. sounds more like the soundtrack to an obscure Czech cartoon.
	12:26pm joe: Test Card F
	12:27pm joe: Thank you and one of my all time favorite bands. You know how to make a guy blush.
	12:27pm gloomsday: UM! :) hello, everyone~
	12:30pm βrian: Can a radio station be referenced?
	12:32pm johnk77: thanks for sweet poppa joe did not know chinnichap were calypsonians:> single did not chart in the states but #1 finland, denmark, norway!
	12:33pm βrian: I can't wait for the "Flint" version. Especially if they mention the water.
	12:34pm Parq: Thanks for all that, Michael. Quite an interesting tidbit of radio trivia.
	12:35pm doctorjazz: Hey Larry!
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: VP! thanks! Gloomsday! John!
	12:37pm Rich in Washington: love this brutal Birthday Party swan song.
	12:37pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - I suspect that the Al Hirt version is the one I remember from my parents "beautiful music" listening in the car. It's the one that charted over here. Quite the earworm.
	12:37pm Parq: I'm thinking of that woman, sitting in a studio, singing the same melody over and over, who knows how many times, trying to keep up the same cheerful demeanor for each new set of lyrics. That's what I call a pro.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Parq, and she did her own harmony tracks too!
	12:40pm Asheville Jon: UM !!!
	12:40pm still b/p: Puppet On A String....I Love Louisa....just sayin'.
	12:40pm johnk77: is this the embarrassment that had woody the drummer later a del fuego?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: My Hometown: smallproblem.com...
	12:43pm johnk77: answering my own question yes self described as blister pop
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Yes John...the Embarrassment was from Wichita (not Falls).
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: Cor blimey guvnor.
	12:46pm Dominick: Mitch Miller would be proud
	12:47pm northguineahills: Wow, old school Gunners, back when they were at Highbury. Have no idea how you found this! Emirates doesn't have the same feel.
	12:47pm listener james from westwood: Just a word to show how WFMU stands head and shoulders and every damn thing above the rest. I followed a Twitter link to the blog of a DJ for Another NYC Station and they mentioned that said station only keeps show archives up for TWO WEEKS. Compare that with some of FMU's archives now being roughly old enough to be freakin' DRAFTED. What a damn value you get for your pledge money here.
	12:47pm V Priceless: Wow Strawbs!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: I'm afraid things have gotten a bit limey. Will fix...
	12:48pm Funky16Corners: Wasn't the flip to this a big hit in the UK?
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: yup
	🛒 12:51pm Brian in UK: Always thought it was called Wild(e) Mountain Thyme.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Did I mess up? It does happen.
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: I got that right! (whew)
	12:52pm Funky16Corners: It's been retitled a bunch of times. Traditional song.
	12:52pm Stevel: Decent cover of JR/I'm Straight. www.youtube.com...
	🛒 12:52pm Brian in UK: No, guess that is what they decided to call it.
	12:55pm joe: I personally would never dismiss a great reduction in the price of beer. But I understand there are other priorities.
	12:55pm Parq: Great Lovers song, but I've gotten so tired of whiny reactionaries that I sort of want to see Hippie Johnny punch his lights out.
	12:55pm Roberto: Oh noes I got Dear God teased!
	12:56pm Greg O. Rianchants: Can I make a request?
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: Combine Rock and Cockney. Never been in the Blockheads to my knowledge.
	12:58pm joe: Oh so there was a connection I thought I heard a lot of Blockhead in there
	1:00pm joe: It seems that Chas and Dave had their own varitiy show in the early 80's and seems to appear on Youtube www.youtube.com...
	1:00pm joe: ME!
	🛒 1:02pm Brian in UK: Uncle, s'funny the other day it was an early Spring morning walking Spencer the beagle and it occurred to me that it was a Witchita Lineman morning.
	1:03pm Dominick: perfection
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	1:04pm northguineahills: BS!!!
	1:05pm Roberto: BS is no BS.
	1:05pm doctorjazz: Great Springfield!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	1:08pm Alex in Illinois: Me Sleng Teng! My Brooklyn roommate used to play this record back in 1988.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: OK, so this set...it's like...someone that doesn't know how to cook at the Mongolian grill. I admit it. Alex!
	1:09pm northguineahills: Wow, a digi-dub classic, Wayne Smith! (The Sleng Teng riddim is still one of the main riddims of dancehall etc).
	1:09pm listener james from westwood: Never gonna say no to "Galveston" and Buffalo Springfield back to back. (And go heavy on the garlic sauce.)
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: School me, NGH.
	1:12pm northguineahills: That was the first (Wayne Smith) song to use the Sleng Teng riddim. Now Sleng Teng is riddim is almost synonymous w/ dancehall. (there are other riddims, but you hear Sleng Teng more then any other).
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: UM - Have you ever seen the SCTV skit where Merv Griffin is the sherriff of Mayberry? Dave Thomas as Gomer Pyle as Fred Travalena singing Galveston features prominently.
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: This sounds like an actual "sex machine".
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Yes. How can I forget Merv's butt?
	1:14pm Funky16Corners: Ooooooo, we'll be right back!
	1:15pm Parq: Calling David Dichelle.
	1:16pm Parq: That's it. I'm changing the name of my autobiography to "How Can I Forget Merv's Butt".
	1:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Uncle Michael!
	1:16pm Funky16Corners: Eva Gabor beat you to it
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Wendy! I've told my Merv and Ava story before.
	1:18pm Funky16Corners: Do tell (again)!
	1:18pm Sem: Channeling Stevie W here, pretty hard.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: plays guitar better than Stevie
	1:22pm northguineahills: Ja, UM!
	1:24pm northguineahills: I found a thrift store strip tease record from the 60s that said it included a thong (thankfully it was not included when I got it).
	1:24pm joe: Vexillology has never interested me more.
	1:26pm Roberto: Is this another tease?
	1:26pm βrian: You bought that record for a thong?
	1:26pm joe: We have the technology
	1:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: Brian: haha, good one!
	1:28pm northguineahills: Is this a Bud Light commercial?
	1:30pm joe: What was that amazing flutter of fuzz guitar that just peeped through?
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: It's legit part of the track!
	1:31pm northguineahills: No, i was relieved said thong was not included (who knew where it might have been).
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: we could speculate
	1:32pm northguineahills: (I already have enough thongs as it is, thank you very much!)
	1:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Do you think David Byrne heard this Dinks song before he wrote "I Zimbra"?
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Maybe!
	1:42pm burke: 1951...Cooke must have been a baby. Still: no mistaking that voice.
	1:43pm Parq: Thongs for the memories, NGH.
	1:44pm Sem: Yep, a good one. Thanks, UM.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Burke!
	1:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww. "Misty" is my dear Mema's favorite song. When I was 3 years old, I helped her pick out a puppy -- a Miniature Schnauzer -- and she named him Misty. So, this song is very special to me. Thanks, Uncle Michael!
	1:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: No! My grandma! But thanks, UM. :-)
	1:51pm northguineahills: Thanks for getting my bday weekend UM, off to lunch!
	1:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: My Mema is totally special, and she spoiled us just enough. She also danced the polka at her 90th birthday (paging DJ Stashu!).
	1:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Happy birthday to you, northguineahills! I hope there's lots of cake (and cheese) involved.
	1:53pm Parq: Wendy, our beloved little wire-haired dox was named Misty, although she was named (by our then pre-teen daughter) for the character in the Pokemon cartoons.
	1:54pm Funky16Corners: HBD NGH!
	1:55pm northguineahills: Happy thanks 2 uuuuus!
	1:56pm Parq: Wire-haired dachshunds are historically part mini Schnauzer, so our Misty dogs probably looked somewhat alike.
	1:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Parq, I didn't know you had a Misty dog too. Hooray for little gray doggies.
	1:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: I've been thinking about Donny Hathaway for the last few days, not for any reason other than I like him, and "Right on, Maude!" is a nice thing to think about.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: the notion of "everything" keeps coming up today. Chaka, Andy, Sam, Donny...
	2:00pm northguineahills: @Wendy: I wish you could cater my next cheese gathering. (I'm lactose intolerant, but I love good cheese)
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: a lot of aged cheeses have no lactose!
	2:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: NGH: I would gladly do it! And you know you can eat most cheeses, even if lactose-intolerant, right? I did a thing about it on Wake & Bake in the last few months.
	2:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: UM: ALL aged cheeses have no lactose. It's true!
	2:02pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael & everybody!
	2:03pm northguineahills: Yeah, there are many low-lactose aged cheeses, and goat and sheep cheeses doesn't hit me as hard either. (But I don't mind suffering for that sweet, sweet cheesy goodness once or twice a week. edit: oh, you already mentioned aged cheeses.
	2:04pm Guido from Cologne: In history of humanity there were cheese eaters before milk drinkers and possibly beeer drinkers before eaters of cereals.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Guido!
	2:06pm βrian: Oh, my. You're talking cheese??
	🛒 2:06pm Brian in UK: Uncle, I think that it is fair to say that you are back at the controls.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Brian.
	2:09pm βrian: I think I still have that DVD documentary on the "Cheese Nun" kicking around somewhere.
	2:09pm johnk77: great show @um thinking about a bike ride to harlem after this show:> weather has cleared up nicely in nyc
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Uncle Michael's favorite food is...cheese.
	2:14pm joe: BASF they dont' make the music they just make it better.
	2:14pm βrian: Cheese is the reason I can't be vegan. Oh, and seafood, I guess.
	2:15pm Guido from Cologne: Funnily: It was recently re-issued. (The Oscar Peterson Trio + The Singers Unlimited)
	2:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Uncle Michael and Brian: I approve!
	2:18pm tom from Glasgow: this has been a good soundtrack to being stuck in traffic for like 2 hours
	2:18pm tom from Glasgow: my view on cheese: it's good
	2:19pm burke: yeah Like a Hurricane
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: Tom!
	2:22pm Dominick: This came out in 69
	2:22pm Bill Mac: Did not appreciate this tune as a teenager. To be able to sing like him or Reverend Al
	2:23pm βrian: Poltergeists in the stream.
	2:23pm Bill Mac: @Domenick OK, then, as an 11 year old.
	2:24pm βrian: I'm tempted to go straight home and fill my bathtub with warm Délice De Bourgogne.
	2:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Tom from Glasgow: that is the correct answer.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Bill! Thanks, Dom.
	2:26pm Bill Mac: Nice show, brother!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: I'll take that as a compliment, coming from a DJ after my own ears.
	2:28pm βrian: At last year's Cheese Society event, a Wisconsin maker won top honors. But I just can't find that damn cheese anywhere. Damn the electric fence!
	2:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Brian, was it Rush Creek by Uplands? It may not be the electric fence. That cheese has always been in very limited supply.
	2:34pm Bill Mac: No worries Mike. It's all about the music... AND the cheese!
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: I play a lot of cheese. Read my playlist!
	2:35pm βrian: Little Mountain Cheese by Roelli. Alpine cheeses are not something I usually seek out, but apparently this one is really nice. Love the Uplands products, too. I can usually find them.
	2:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bill, will you change your on-air name to "Bill Mac & Cheese"?
	🛒 2:35pm Brian in UK: Wendy, had some tasty Sardinian cheeses the other week. One a Pecorino style but not too salty. One a Reggiano style and another blue. No idea of the names as I did not buy them.
	2:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: Roelli! I used to love their Dunbarton Blue when I was a 'monger in Fort Greene. Brian in UK, did you know most pecorino romano is now made in Sardinia? They have more sheep than people! Just stay away from Casu Marzu. ;-)
	2:38pm Bill Mac: I may adjust the pseudonym to reflect that. but only if it's appropriate. @UM Al of gotta say is Glen Campbell, Buffalo Springfield, and Wayne Smith are a pretty sharp turn - nicely done!
	2:38pm Dominick: I like-a to chew
	2:39pm Mark Hurst: "Have you in fact got any cheese here at all?"
	2:39pm Sem: No, I was deliberately wasting your time.
	2:39pm Listening Out There: Whuddayaknow...playlist is accessible. Was broked the last time I tried to abuse it...
	2:39pm burke: No way dude Gene Clark is from Tipton, Missouri! Final resting place is there too.
	2:41pm joe: Sparks? BEck?
	2:41pm V Priceless: Spirit, but they always sounded like Spirit, for the most part
	2:41pm Bill Mac: You haven't asked about limburger sir
	2:42pm burke: Upon further investigation it would seem that both Missouri and Kansas can claim to be Gene Clark's origin
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Mark! Yeah, not born in Kansas...grew up here.
	2:45pm Dominick: Que rico!
	2:47pm V Priceless: Dr. Feelgood does a nice version of this
	2:48pm Mr Wensleydale: Uncle great show, to the kitchen. Plaice with breadcrumb and Grana Padano topping, butter and olive oil. Oven for twelve minutes.
	2:48pm Sem: Is it worth it?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: LOT! MrW!
	2:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks Mr Wensleydale! Grana Padano is an unsung hero of the cheese world.
	2:49pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I am dairy free for the most part, but do eat cheese and butter. They have low lactose. Gluten free also. Feel 100x better and more regular.
	2:50pm βrian: @Wendy: Not sure if they still make it, but have you ever had Orb Weaver, from the Middlebury area?
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Wild Neil!
	2:53pm Listening Out There: UM, it's just me. It's not the Second Coming...or John Bolton...
	🛒 2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc...I think we're back in Kansas.
	2:54pm βrian: I have memories of eating that cheese during cool fall weather, and washing it down with tart apple cider. So lovely.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:55pm Sem: Wearing a tie-dyed tie for this one. Been fun, UM, and all. See you next time.
	2:55pm βrian: I was going to say this sounded like the Grateful Dead ... but I didn't want to be rude. [Hee.]
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Sem.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: My boys! Go Jerry!
	2:56pm Santos L Halper: Great show Uncle, and thanks for this GDTRFB
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Santos!
	2:56pm Jeff Golick: Basically the one Dead song I know. Hi, just getting to the radio now, due to work-like commitments today.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:58pm burke: Rock on. Thanks
	2:58pm Mark Hurst: That was a great set. Thanks, U.M.!
	2:58pm Scraps h’m (h’m): whew
	2:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: Brian: I started selling Orb Weaver at my first 'monger gig in 1995!
	2:58pm Funky16Corners: Great show UM!
	2:59pm tom from Glasgow: cheers Uncle M!
	2:59pm βrian: Thanks, Uncle Michael. Don't forget to water the roof.
