	12:06pm northguineahills: UM, you must have moved around a lot to have so many hometowns! Lived in Dayton in '77. (don't remember it).
	12:06pm rw: UM, your hometown sounds nice.
	12:06pm Parq: "It's a wonderful town" and not "That's my home town" -- there's a story there, and UM, if you know it, please share.
	12:07pm Parq: Oh shit, it is that day. So maybe I shouldn't have sushi for lunch today?

	12:10pm Rich in Washington: We'll give that son-of-a-B Tojo what for!

	12:16pm rw: Cleaning out my mom's garage earlier this year we came across some marionettes and a script for a marionette production. My son looked over the script and said, "This is propaganda." My mom said, "Well of course, we were in a war!" Different times.
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: Have a(nother) cracking show, Uncle Michael!
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: 'morning Uncle M & Dinklets
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Doug. Coel!
	12:20pm coelacanth∅: this is a different version than what's on "the happy listener's guide to mind control" - Ken's marathon premium from sometime in the 90s.
	12:21pm coelacanth∅: (-"...dirty little jap" that is)
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to play the Carson Robison.
	12:23pm northguineahills: Enjoying even the offensive tunes (haven't heard any of these).
	12:23pm rw: UM, are you playing 10" shellacs, or are these conversions?
	12:23pm northguineahills: I used to frequent Yokohama (lived nearby for 3 years).
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: "Track information pertains, as much as is possible, to the original release, and should not be construed as bearing any relationship to the presence or absence of a particular artifact in Uncle Michael's possession."
	12:25pm dan: I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark When he made Pearl Harbor I miss you more than that movie missed the point And that's an awful lot girl And now, now you've gone away And all I'm trying to say is Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you I need u like Ben Affleck needs acting school He was terrible in that film I need u like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part He's way better than Ben Affleck And now all I can think about is your smile and that shitty movie too Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies? I guess Pearl Harbor sucked Just a little bit more than I miss you
	12:26pm βrian: I'm reminded of this book by Studs Terkel: www.worldcat.org...
	12:28pm dan: I didn't look at first and I knew that was Kate Smith.
	12:29pm Parq: Sure, once the Germans were warlike and mean But that can't happen again We taught them a lesson back in 1918 And they haven't bothered us much since then.
	12:29pm coelacanth∅: i once knocked over a 5' stack of 10" shellacs, or 2, climbing up them to see what the hell my mother was doing outside that was taking so long. paper pulp inside.
	12:30pm Dean: Will you now play Pearl Harbor & the Explosions?
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: Parq -exactly. and anyway they were so defeated last time they'll never get that powerful again.
	12:35pm Parq: The hell with it, I'm getting sushi. My granddad can just roll in his grave for a while. Do the old boy good, probably.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Brian! Dean!
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: a little uncomfortable,yes. i would not have endured an hour of that! but thank you. ...and now i want sushi too. (it's okay- the best sushi place here is owned by a chinaman and employs indonesians!)
	12:38pm dan: I’ll have an Axis meal of Bratwurst, Pizza and Sushi.
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: within the past week i've heard 3 different songs called "burning spear". (none of them by burning spear)
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: This Burning Spear was written by the great Richard Evans.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: the one on fmu a few days ago was one Jimmy Smith; and of course there's the sonic youth song(which i happen to play a few days ago) i do not know Richard Evans.
	12:48pm chresti: Same here coel, this is where Burning Spear got the name en.wikipedia.org...
	12:48pm northguineahills: I saw Burning Spear give a free concert in Manhattan w/ Culture.....
	12:52pm chresti: (I think)
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: chresti, I think that's where everything called "burning spear" got its name.
	12:53pm chresti: Sounds like a great show, ngh
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: i saw "burning spear" free at some park on the hudson in poughkeepsie. there couldn't have been more than a dozen people in the audience. i paid for culture, somewhere in nyc. we were one row of people from the stage and a group of large, elaborately adorned, beautiful brown women were in front of us yelling "Jah! rasta far i" like they were possessed...which i guess they were.
	12:56pm Dean: I saw Augustus Pablo in Santa Monica at a little club. Loudest bass ever. Viewed the entire show through a thick cloud of ganja haze.
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: (i put "burning spear" in quotes because i always thought it was low of him to call himself that after dissing the other members of his group ("burning spear")
	12:58pm coelacanth∅: whoa, i'd like to see Augustus Pablo.
	🛒 1:01pm Granny Spicy Tuna: I had to step out for a bit. Was hoping the next set would be WWII Japanese songs about America.
	1:02pm northguineahills: The New Birth, new to me!
	1:03pm dan: My recent discoveries are Elliott Murphy snd The Babys.
	1:03pm northguineahills: @what coel said, I would lose a foot to see Augustus Pablo live....
	1:04pm northguineahills: @Coel: Same Burning Spear tour?
	1:05pm melinda: Hi UM and everyone!
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: ngh 'spear was around 2005; culture was in the 90s.
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: sportsters are special in general. the only harley i'd want really.
	1:08pm Dean: Augustus Pablo was indeed amazing. Loud and amazing. I wish he were among the living.
	1:08pm Joe: Well that’s not the ending to that story that I expected :)
	1:09pm mauri: gimme a taxi at the station
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: Lee Scratch Perry was among the most boring shows i've been to...with so, so much potential to be one of the best. at least 2/3 him babbling his special brand of nonsense; < 1/3 music, which was lacklustre probably because the band was so bored of his nonsense.
	1:14pm northguineahills: @coel: ahhh, I saw spear summer of '09. @Deab: hence why I would give up a foot....
	1:16pm northguineahills: Lee Scratch Perry was decent in '98 (Dj Spooky opened), but I expected more....
	1:19pm dan: Putty In Your Hands, also done very well by The Yardbirds.
	1:20pm Guido from Cologne: hello Michael! who did the original of "Putty"?
	1:22pm mauri: why isnt there a dance floor in train restaurant wagons?
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Guido! The Shirelles!
	1:25pm Stanley: Maurice there's a (regular) train in Yorkshire that runs in Summer with a carriage with a bar and folk band
	1:25pm dan: My grandma who recently passed away was a huge Harry Belafonte fan.
	1:26pm Stanley: who the hell is Maurice?
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: The gangster of love.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: ngh that's around when i saw Perry (probably '96) ...maybe he got it out of his system. i think he was using his tour as a platform to defend the concept that he didn't burn down the ark.
	1:29pm burke: An en-GINE.
	1:29pm mauri: stanislav, i will get into that train ta for da tip
	1:30pm Little Danny: Hey Michael, hey all
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: Belafonte's "calypso" album comprises 1/2 my initiation into real music, at the age of 2-3. that and the fact that he was and is a truly extraordinary human being makes me Love him forever.
	1:32pm βrian: What, I missed Bill?? Woe be unto me.
	1:34pm dan: You read my mind UM. One of the best Raspberries songs.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Danny! Brian!
	1:35pm Parq: Yeah, Coales, me too. My dad's taste for exotica, including Belafonte and Latin percussion, surely put me on the road that led, eventually, to this here playlist.
	1:35pm annie: i felt obliged to pass through the Bryce Portal on my way here. hi all!
	1:36pm Dean: Belafonte's Carnegie Hall record is one of those de rigueur LPs, like Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat, for audiophiles, regardless of whether the music is to one's taste. Supposedly, on a decent system you can hear the subways running under the hall. I've never bothered to check. But I do remember hearing Mingus Big Band at Fez under Time Cafe long ago. You could feel and hear the subway trains rumbling by.
	1:36pm βrian: @annie: unscathed?
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Annie!
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: Parq did he have those "persuasive percussion" & "provocative percussion" albums?! man when i discovered those i was (momentarily only, but still) thrilled. the stereo separation and the crispness!
	1:39pm annie: and enhanced βrian. !!!
	1:39pm Jeff Golick: Here, but in the background.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Jeff...you're...scenery!
	1:47pm Parq: I can't figure out whether or not Fountains of Wayne intended the protagonist of "This better Be Good" to come off as a self-absorbed dick, but I certainly think he does. Every time I hear this song, I'm rooting for the girl to say "You know what? Fuck this, we're through."
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Fountain's of Wayne have the protagonist point his weapon at himself?! Forfend.
	1:49pm dan: UM, you must be the first DJ in history to go from The Raspberries to Fountains Of Wayne all the way to Benny Goodman, all in the same set.
	1:51pm Parq: Yeah, I know, but at the end of the day they're guys, know what I mean?
	1:53pm Jeff Golick: @UM, as my avatar states, I go with everything.
	1:54pm dan: One of the girls in The Cake married Chris Wood from Traffic.
	1:55pm Dean: I wonder if The Cake have ever played at MacArthur Park and, if so, was it raining?
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: haha
	2:04pm Jeff Golick: Yes that was really melancholy music. I thought you were about to do a dead dog dedication.
	2:06pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!!!! just poppin in to say hi, been enjoying the show. gotta run and get the kids at school. see ya!
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	2:12pm rw: That was a good segue
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I like this seque!
	2:15pm Parq: UM, I'm relieved to hear that you find the sarcastic edge of that song so clear-cut, I really am. I grew up with guys like the one in that song, and still work with many such guys, and I honestly don't know what's considered obviously over the top nowadays.
	2:15pm rw: Agreed. Keep em coming! But I just got to work. Have a good one!
	2:15pm burke: It's raining real hard in Austin, TX today where I am and this is exactly the correct song for my current environment
	2:17pm Dean: Hey, Noam Chomsky turned 90 today. Happy birthday!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: I consent to that well-wish, Dean.
	2:20pm Dean: When we first hired our nanny/babysitter/whatever, she cared for our son and Noam's grandson. Kinda cool. Now our son, heading toward his 'teens, bumps into the nanny at Starbucks now and then.
	2:22pm Dean: I'm always tickled by the recurring "unk." in Unkle Michael's playlist.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: unkunkunk
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: is "Charlie Rich coming up next? (if you happen to...)
	2:25pm coelacanth∅: it's okay unk. Michael we know you try
	2:25pm Parq: My little tribute to Noam's BD is here, as part of this fellow's tweet: twitter.com...
	2:28pm burke: I've been thinking about my request all year
	2:28pm Mark Hurst: Relax, Jeff!
	2:29pm Dean: Alongside a review in Variety, Jan. 2, 1974, of Don Reno et al. at Metro NYC is a review of Patti Smith group at Max's KC.
	2:30pm dan: It's Dr. Robotnik
	2:31pm Doug Schulkind: Better Long John Baldry than Bald John Longry, I've always said.
	2:31pm Dean: Alongside a review in Billboard, April 26, 1975, of Don Reno et al. at NYU is a review of Manu Dibango at The Bottom Line. Opening act for Manu Dibango? Isotope with Gary Boyle. Wow.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Doug, is this what they're paying you for?
	2:32pm dan: That's Elton John doing the piano on this song.
	2:36pm Doug Schulkind: Wait, whut? I'm supposed to be getting paid?
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Forget I said a word.
	2:38pm Parq: I saw Long John Baldry wen he was touring to support It Aint Easy. I saw him at - I promise, this is true - a weekend-long fest that was raising money for charity, held in a mall parking lot that was a bike ride way from my house in Paramus NJ.
	2:39pm Dean: Here's the poop on the Don Reno track: https://www.ibiblio.org/hillwilliam/BGdiscography/?v=fullrecord&albumid=17279
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: The world needs more librarians and fewer libertarians. Thanks, Dean!
	2:40pm annie: @UM: so,i missed the scoop on the all-request show.. will you be posting that on the Book of Faces?
	2:40pm Dean: You're welcome, Unk.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Here, there and everywhere, Annie.
	2:41pm Dean: Running to a meeting. Thanks for the soundtrack to the weekend. B'bye.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Have your little joke, Dean.
	2:42pm annie: word, um... UM
	🛒 2:42pm Brian in UK: Uncle Annie Ross next.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Bye!
	2:42pm Jeff Golick: This is like the "Tinker to Evers to Chance" of seques.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: It surely is.
	2:43pm annie: Annie Ross played Darryl Hannah's mom in"Short Cuts"..a great movie, actually
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: by the way i wasn't requesting that Charlie Rich song i just thought it'd be a good segue then, and that opportunity's behind us
	2:44pm dan: @Annie Probably Robert Altman's magnum opus along with Nashville. And Lori Singer was the daughter, not Daryl Hannah.
	2:45pm annie: really??? the cello-toting blonde?
	2:45pm Jeff Golick: (Admittedly, Lori Singer looks a LOT like Daryl Hannah in that movie.)
	2:46pm dan: @Annie Not only that, that's her playing the cello.
	2:46pm annie: what'd'yaknow!!??
	2:47pm annie: that was the best part of that movie, heh, along with 7 other parts..
	2:47pm chresti: I would request anything from your 78s/shellac collection, for starters..
	2:48pm annie: so,now ihave to rethinkmy whole darryl hannah crush.....sigh
	2:49pm chresti: Another movie I missed
	🛒 2:49pm Brian in UK: Saw Jon Hendricks at the National Jazz and Blues Festival Auguat '69, same weekend as Charlie Manson did his worst. He was scat singing with Yes' Jon Anderson for a couple of numbers. Strange but true. The Who topped the bill two weeks before Woodstock. They were wonderful.
	2:50pm Jeff Golick: Pardon this inside baseball, but I find this fascinating: "Tinker and Evers feuded for many years. On September 14, 1905, Tinker and Evers engaged in a fistfight on the field because Evers had taken a cab to the stadium and left his teammates behind in the hotel lobby. They did not speak for years following this event. According to some tellings, Tinker and Evers did not speak to one another again following their fight for 33 years, until they were asked to participate in the radio broadcast of the 1938 World Series, between the Cubs and the New York Yankees. Neither Tinker nor Evers knew the other had been invited."
	2:50pm chresti: I guess her and Neil Young tied the knot (Hannah)
	🛒 2:52pm Brian in UK: Uncle, typo on the Hilltoppers. Tom Waits for No One. Tee Hee.
	2:52pm annie: yes, chresti, i'm pleased with that pairing..
	2:54pm chresti: Are there rodeos in Tokyo?
	2:54pm annie: i did, however, cry when greg brown snarfed up whats'er name, iris dement
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: i guess Daryl knew what she was getting into; Neil's been quite forthright about his romances taking a backseat to his music.
	2:56pm chresti: Carrying on the tradition of infamy
	2:57pm annie: that might suit both of them,coe; they both are running some worthy causes
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: you know my name (look up the number) took the b side to let it be. somebody at the label wasn't thinking, obviously.
	2:59pm annie: many thanks UM!!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: chresti, there will be, when our boys get there
	3:00pm chresti: When I first joined FB, after "liking" a Neil Young post, I got a message from a fake version of him, starting with "Hey Boo" then providing a number if I wanted to move in
	3:00pm Spaniel: bye! enjoyed being along for the ride!
	3:00pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Unk.M! take care folks
	3:01pm burke: thanks!

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

	12:06pm rw: UM, your hometown sounds nice.
	12:06pm Parq: "It's a wonderful town" and not "That's my home town" -- there's a story there, and UM, if you know it, please share.
	12:07pm Parq: Oh shit, it is that day. So maybe I shouldn't have sushi for lunch today?

	12:18pm coelacanth∅: 'morning Uncle M & Dinklets
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Doug. Coel!
	12:20pm coelacanth∅: this is a different version than what's on "the happy listener's guide to mind control" - Ken's marathon premium from sometime in the 90s.
	12:21pm coelacanth∅: (-"...dirty little jap" that is)
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to play the Carson Robison.
	12:23pm northguineahills: Enjoying even the offensive tunes (haven't heard any of these).
	12:23pm rw: UM, are you playing 10" shellacs, or are these conversions?
	12:23pm northguineahills: I used to frequent Yokohama (lived nearby for 3 years).
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: "Track information pertains, as much as is possible, to the original release, and should not be construed as bearing any relationship to the presence or absence of a particular artifact in Uncle Michael's possession."
	12:25pm dan: I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark When he made Pearl Harbor I miss you more than that movie missed the point And that's an awful lot girl And now, now you've gone away And all I'm trying to say is Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you I need u like Ben Affleck needs acting school He was terrible in that film I need u like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part He's way better than Ben Affleck And now all I can think about is your smile and that shitty movie too Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies? I guess Pearl Harbor sucked Just a little bit more than I miss you
	12:26pm βrian: I'm reminded of this book by Studs Terkel: www.worldcat.org...
	12:28pm dan: I didn't look at first and I knew that was Kate Smith.
	12:29pm Parq: Sure, once the Germans were warlike and mean But that can't happen again We taught them a lesson back in 1918 And they haven't bothered us much since then.
	12:29pm coelacanth∅: i once knocked over a 5' stack of 10" shellacs, or 2, climbing up them to see what the hell my mother was doing outside that was taking so long. paper pulp inside.
	12:30pm Dean: Will you now play Pearl Harbor & the Explosions?
	12:31pm coelacanth∅: Parq -exactly. and anyway they were so defeated last time they'll never get that powerful again.
	12:35pm Parq: The hell with it, I'm getting sushi. My granddad can just roll in his grave for a while. Do the old boy good, probably.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Brian! Dean!
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: a little uncomfortable,yes. i would not have endured an hour of that! but thank you. ...and now i want sushi too. (it's okay- the best sushi place here is owned by a chinaman and employs indonesians!)
	12:38pm dan: I’ll have an Axis meal of Bratwurst, Pizza and Sushi.
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: within the past week i've heard 3 different songs called "burning spear". (none of them by burning spear)
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: This Burning Spear was written by the great Richard Evans.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: the one on fmu a few days ago was one Jimmy Smith; and of course there's the sonic youth song(which i happen to play a few days ago) i do not know Richard Evans.
	12:48pm chresti: Same here coel, this is where Burning Spear got the name en.wikipedia.org...
	12:48pm northguineahills: I saw Burning Spear give a free concert in Manhattan w/ Culture.....
	12:52pm chresti: (I think)
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: chresti, I think that's where everything called "burning spear" got its name.
	12:53pm chresti: Sounds like a great show, ngh
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: i saw "burning spear" free at some park on the hudson in poughkeepsie. there couldn't have been more than a dozen people in the audience. i paid for culture, somewhere in nyc. we were one row of people from the stage and a group of large, elaborately adorned, beautiful brown women were in front of us yelling "Jah! rasta far i" like they were possessed...which i guess they were.
	12:56pm Dean: I saw Augustus Pablo in Santa Monica at a little club. Loudest bass ever. Viewed the entire show through a thick cloud of ganja haze.
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: (i put "burning spear" in quotes because i always thought it was low of him to call himself that after dissing the other members of his group ("burning spear")
	12:58pm coelacanth∅: whoa, i'd like to see Augustus Pablo.
	🛒 1:01pm Granny Spicy Tuna: I had to step out for a bit. Was hoping the next set would be WWII Japanese songs about America.
	1:02pm northguineahills: The New Birth, new to me!
	1:03pm dan: My recent discoveries are Elliott Murphy snd The Babys.
	1:03pm northguineahills: @what coel said, I would lose a foot to see Augustus Pablo live....
	1:04pm northguineahills: @Coel: Same Burning Spear tour?
	1:05pm melinda: Hi UM and everyone!
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: ngh 'spear was around 2005; culture was in the 90s.
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: sportsters are special in general. the only harley i'd want really.
	1:08pm Dean: Augustus Pablo was indeed amazing. Loud and amazing. I wish he were among the living.
	1:08pm Joe: Well that’s not the ending to that story that I expected :)
	1:09pm mauri: gimme a taxi at the station
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: Lee Scratch Perry was among the most boring shows i've been to...with so, so much potential to be one of the best. at least 2/3 him babbling his special brand of nonsense; < 1/3 music, which was lacklustre probably because the band was so bored of his nonsense.
	1:14pm northguineahills: @coel: ahhh, I saw spear summer of '09. @Deab: hence why I would give up a foot....
	1:16pm northguineahills: Lee Scratch Perry was decent in '98 (Dj Spooky opened), but I expected more....
	1:19pm dan: Putty In Your Hands, also done very well by The Yardbirds.
	1:20pm Guido from Cologne: hello Michael! who did the original of "Putty"?
	1:22pm mauri: why isnt there a dance floor in train restaurant wagons?
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Guido! The Shirelles!
	1:25pm Stanley: Maurice there's a (regular) train in Yorkshire that runs in Summer with a carriage with a bar and folk band
	1:25pm dan: My grandma who recently passed away was a huge Harry Belafonte fan.
	1:26pm Stanley: who the hell is Maurice?
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: The gangster of love.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: ngh that's around when i saw Perry (probably '96) ...maybe he got it out of his system. i think he was using his tour as a platform to defend the concept that he didn't burn down the ark.
	1:29pm burke: An en-GINE.
	1:29pm mauri: stanislav, i will get into that train ta for da tip
	1:30pm Little Danny: Hey Michael, hey all
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: Belafonte's "calypso" album comprises 1/2 my initiation into real music, at the age of 2-3. that and the fact that he was and is a truly extraordinary human being makes me Love him forever.
	1:32pm βrian: What, I missed Bill?? Woe be unto me.
	1:34pm dan: You read my mind UM. One of the best Raspberries songs.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Danny! Brian!
	1:35pm Parq: Yeah, Coales, me too. My dad's taste for exotica, including Belafonte and Latin percussion, surely put me on the road that led, eventually, to this here playlist.
	1:35pm annie: i felt obliged to pass through the Bryce Portal on my way here. hi all!
	1:36pm Dean: Belafonte's Carnegie Hall record is one of those de rigueur LPs, like Jennifer Warnes' Famous Blue Raincoat, for audiophiles, regardless of whether the music is to one's taste. Supposedly, on a decent system you can hear the subways running under the hall. I've never bothered to check. But I do remember hearing Mingus Big Band at Fez under Time Cafe long ago. You could feel and hear the subway trains rumbling by.
	1:36pm βrian: @annie: unscathed?
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Annie!
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: Parq did he have those "persuasive percussion" & "provocative percussion" albums?! man when i discovered those i was (momentarily only, but still) thrilled. the stereo separation and the crispness!
	1:39pm annie: and enhanced βrian. !!!
	1:39pm Jeff Golick: Here, but in the background.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Jeff...you're...scenery!
	1:47pm Parq: I can't figure out whether or not Fountains of Wayne intended the protagonist of "This better Be Good" to come off as a self-absorbed dick, but I certainly think he does. Every time I hear this song, I'm rooting for the girl to say "You know what? Fuck this, we're through."
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Fountain's of Wayne have the protagonist point his weapon at himself?! Forfend.
	1:49pm dan: UM, you must be the first DJ in history to go from The Raspberries to Fountains Of Wayne all the way to Benny Goodman, all in the same set.
	1:51pm Parq: Yeah, I know, but at the end of the day they're guys, know what I mean?
	1:53pm Jeff Golick: @UM, as my avatar states, I go with everything.
	1:54pm dan: One of the girls in The Cake married Chris Wood from Traffic.
	1:55pm Dean: I wonder if The Cake have ever played at MacArthur Park and, if so, was it raining?
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: haha
	2:04pm Jeff Golick: Yes that was really melancholy music. I thought you were about to do a dead dog dedication.
	2:06pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!!!! just poppin in to say hi, been enjoying the show. gotta run and get the kids at school. see ya!
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	2:12pm rw: That was a good segue
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I like this seque!
	2:15pm Parq: UM, I'm relieved to hear that you find the sarcastic edge of that song so clear-cut, I really am. I grew up with guys like the one in that song, and still work with many such guys, and I honestly don't know what's considered obviously over the top nowadays.
	2:15pm rw: Agreed. Keep em coming! But I just got to work. Have a good one!
	2:15pm burke: It's raining real hard in Austin, TX today where I am and this is exactly the correct song for my current environment
	2:17pm Dean: Hey, Noam Chomsky turned 90 today. Happy birthday!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: I consent to that well-wish, Dean.
	2:20pm Dean: When we first hired our nanny/babysitter/whatever, she cared for our son and Noam's grandson. Kinda cool. Now our son, heading toward his 'teens, bumps into the nanny at Starbucks now and then.
	2:22pm Dean: I'm always tickled by the recurring "unk." in Unkle Michael's playlist.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: unkunkunk
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: is "Charlie Rich coming up next? (if you happen to...)
	2:25pm coelacanth∅: it's okay unk. Michael we know you try
	2:25pm Parq: My little tribute to Noam's BD is here, as part of this fellow's tweet: twitter.com...
	2:28pm burke: I've been thinking about my request all year
	2:28pm Mark Hurst: Relax, Jeff!
	2:29pm Dean: Alongside a review in Variety, Jan. 2, 1974, of Don Reno et al. at Metro NYC is a review of Patti Smith group at Max's KC.
	2:30pm dan: It's Dr. Robotnik
	2:31pm Doug Schulkind: Better Long John Baldry than Bald John Longry, I've always said.
	2:31pm Dean: Alongside a review in Billboard, April 26, 1975, of Don Reno et al. at NYU is a review of Manu Dibango at The Bottom Line. Opening act for Manu Dibango? Isotope with Gary Boyle. Wow.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Doug, is this what they're paying you for?
	2:32pm dan: That's Elton John doing the piano on this song.
	2:36pm Doug Schulkind: Wait, whut? I'm supposed to be getting paid?
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Forget I said a word.
	2:38pm Parq: I saw Long John Baldry wen he was touring to support It Aint Easy. I saw him at - I promise, this is true - a weekend-long fest that was raising money for charity, held in a mall parking lot that was a bike ride way from my house in Paramus NJ.
	2:39pm Dean: Here's the poop on the Don Reno track: https://www.ibiblio.org/hillwilliam/BGdiscography/?v=fullrecord&albumid=17279
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: The world needs more librarians and fewer libertarians. Thanks, Dean!
	2:40pm annie: @UM: so,i missed the scoop on the all-request show.. will you be posting that on the Book of Faces?
	2:40pm Dean: You're welcome, Unk.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Here, there and everywhere, Annie.
	2:41pm Dean: Running to a meeting. Thanks for the soundtrack to the weekend. B'bye.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Have your little joke, Dean.
	2:42pm annie: word, um... UM
	🛒 2:42pm Brian in UK: Uncle Annie Ross next.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Bye!
	2:42pm Jeff Golick: This is like the "Tinker to Evers to Chance" of seques.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: It surely is.
	2:43pm annie: Annie Ross played Darryl Hannah's mom in"Short Cuts"..a great movie, actually
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: by the way i wasn't requesting that Charlie Rich song i just thought it'd be a good segue then, and that opportunity's behind us
	2:44pm dan: @Annie Probably Robert Altman's magnum opus along with Nashville. And Lori Singer was the daughter, not Daryl Hannah.
	2:45pm annie: really??? the cello-toting blonde?
	2:45pm Jeff Golick: (Admittedly, Lori Singer looks a LOT like Daryl Hannah in that movie.)
	2:46pm dan: @Annie Not only that, that's her playing the cello.
	2:46pm annie: what'd'yaknow!!??
	2:47pm annie: that was the best part of that movie, heh, along with 7 other parts..
	2:47pm chresti: I would request anything from your 78s/shellac collection, for starters..
	2:48pm annie: so,now ihave to rethinkmy whole darryl hannah crush.....sigh
	2:49pm chresti: Another movie I missed
	🛒 2:49pm Brian in UK: Saw Jon Hendricks at the National Jazz and Blues Festival Auguat '69, same weekend as Charlie Manson did his worst. He was scat singing with Yes' Jon Anderson for a couple of numbers. Strange but true. The Who topped the bill two weeks before Woodstock. They were wonderful.
	2:50pm Jeff Golick: Pardon this inside baseball, but I find this fascinating: "Tinker and Evers feuded for many years. On September 14, 1905, Tinker and Evers engaged in a fistfight on the field because Evers had taken a cab to the stadium and left his teammates behind in the hotel lobby. They did not speak for years following this event. According to some tellings, Tinker and Evers did not speak to one another again following their fight for 33 years, until they were asked to participate in the radio broadcast of the 1938 World Series, between the Cubs and the New York Yankees. Neither Tinker nor Evers knew the other had been invited."
	2:50pm chresti: I guess her and Neil Young tied the knot (Hannah)
	🛒 2:52pm Brian in UK: Uncle, typo on the Hilltoppers. Tom Waits for No One. Tee Hee.
	2:52pm annie: yes, chresti, i'm pleased with that pairing..
	2:54pm chresti: Are there rodeos in Tokyo?
	2:54pm annie: i did, however, cry when greg brown snarfed up whats'er name, iris dement
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: i guess Daryl knew what she was getting into; Neil's been quite forthright about his romances taking a backseat to his music.
	2:56pm chresti: Carrying on the tradition of infamy
	2:57pm annie: that might suit both of them,coe; they both are running some worthy causes
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: you know my name (look up the number) took the b side to let it be. somebody at the label wasn't thinking, obviously.
	2:59pm annie: many thanks UM!!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: chresti, there will be, when our boys get there
	3:00pm chresti: When I first joined FB, after "liking" a Neil Young post, I got a message from a fake version of him, starting with "Hey Boo" then providing a number if I wanted to move in
	3:00pm Spaniel: bye! enjoyed being along for the ride!
	3:00pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Unk.M! take care folks
	3:01pm burke: thanks!
