Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 13, 2021 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.

Oversaturation killed Aerosmith for me, but not Billy Joel

Aerosmith is often one song, not 15 like Joel has played all the time.

They play the same 5 songs of each on the radio. That's why I listen to YouTube over my local commercial radio station.

Today's gif is from Cop Rock.

Cop Rock sounds like it was created when a bunch of guys got drunk and somehow "singing cops" was brought up.

Thank you very much for this tribute to Mike Finnegan!

I saw Finnigan & Wood on a cold, snowy Saturday night at the Red Baron in Lawrence KS. The place was packed full. Wild concert. Two drummers. I asked Mike for his autograph. He barked back "Fuck you!" Then he thought about it and said "If I record an album that sells a million copies I'll sign an autograph for you then. Fair enough?"

Daddy-o Dilly:

Speculation that the master tape to the wonderful Finnegan & Wood album was discarded during record label ownership shuffles. Hence, no reissue ever on CD or LP. Big time bummer.
Avatar 2:13pm
Daddy-o Dilly:

Mike Finnigan would play bars in Kansas that had little or nothing in the way of local music scenes. And would fill the places up.
Avatar 2:15pm
Daddy-o Dilly:

The progressive rock FM radio stations in Kansas City & Lawrence (and probably Wichita) in the 1970s gave generous airplay to the Jerry Hahn Brotherhood and Finnigan & Wood albums.
