Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 29, 2017 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

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.

i really love the personal touch to this announcer's style. well doc, i mostly listen in the mornings, each deejay has a style, if you like brazilian, then saturdays are good starting around 1:00, going for about 5 hours. the station spends a lot of time highlighting their festivals, so you get lots of live broadcasts especially during festival times.

JazzFest is pretty crazy, but you don't have to get to everything that is going on, pacing is key (especially if it's 95 degrees...). Shows all day, clubs every night, could easily wear yourself out.

Avatar 🛒 Swag For Life Member 8:34am

Heat is pretty bad in NO; JazzFest is usually the last week of April and the 1st of May. It's already quite hot, but not as bad as it gets later I'd guess. Of the 2 festivals I got to, the second one had light rain most of the day, which made it MUCH more comfortable (highlights: Stevie Ray Vaughan set, and Neville Brothers with Herbie Hancock sitting in, man...)

it's a good question, Uncle Michael. i think Ted Albert was just as astute a talent spotter, but marketing-wise he made mistakes; some think The Easybeats should have been as big as The Beatles and The Stones, but Ted got them wrong - but then AC/DC learnt with Ted from the mistakes made earlier. anyway, Clinton Walker reckons three Oz bands changed the whole of popular music in the 70s, The Bee Gees, The Saints and AC/DC. and none were from Sydney or Melbourne.

If you keep looking, though, I think it's a more complicated and blurry business of contrasting tales for the band name. (And 10cc is a ways off, I believe, from the real average.)

Visiting with a couple friends last week, two of us were eagerly talking about 10cc and the less revisited tracks. The woman with us, nearly entirely unfamiliar with the music, listened to two examples, but when I suggested a third, she raised her hands and said 'No," as if even one more would be distinctly uncomfortable. So we didn't get to "Hotel."

Since you accommodated the big time swap, he HAS to give you bonus minutes. And shovel your driveway. And bring you a sandwich. And say nice things about your teams.
Grrrreat show!
