	12:13pm Little Danny: Yer Twitch is all good UM, hi!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Danny!
	12:14pm david w: This is going to be fun. Hello, Michael and all!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: david!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: just a little bit of tribute today, david
	🛒 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I hope quoting Townshend @ length is not too much : “I only played with Charlie once, when he drummed for Ronnie Lane and me on our Rough Mix album. We did two faultless live takes (no overdubs at all) of my song ‘My Baby Gives It Away’. His technique was obvious immediately, the hi-hat always slightly late, and the snare drumstick held in the flat of the left hand, underpowered to some extent, lazy-loose, super-cool. The swing on the track is explosive. I’ve never enjoyed playing with a drummer quite so much. Of course that brings up Keith Moon, who was so different to Charlie. At Keith’s funeral Charlie surprised me by openly weeping, and I remember wishing I could wear my heart on my sleeve like that. I was tightened up like a snare drum myself. Charlie lived a quiet life in the English countryside. He had a London bolthole in St James’s for many years which I think he used mainly to visit his tailor and buy paintings. He is the exemplar of the perfect marriage, still married to his art-school girlfriend who he married secretly in 1964. I understand he lived a quiet and respectable life on the road as well. I know that like me he wasn’t mad on touring, but that wry smile of his – that hid a mischievous side to him that few us saw – could turn into the most beautiful wide-mouthed laugh at very little urging. I could make him smile simply by talking about growing up following my father Cliff’s post-war dance band. Charlie loved the ‘real’ music of that era. I’ve said here that his playing on ‘My Baby Gives It Away’ was flawless. I have suddenly remembered that he had trouble with the clipped ending. On the second take he nailed it, but was so shocked he had managed it that he burst into laughter and fell off his stool. That was a Keith Moon stunt, ask any drummer what they most dread doing and they will probably reply that they never want to fall off their stool.”
	12:16pm TDK60: Very groovy Rollings cut. Mich. Ave. Oh yeah.
	🛒 12:16pm Franco Twinkie: Great 4/4 drummers: Jimmy Carl Black, Bill Kreutzmann, D.J. Bonebrake, CHARLIE WATTS!!!
	12:18pm TDK60: Charlie's loud tonight idn't he?
	12:18pm Pedro in Arlington: I lived in Chicago in the late 80s. There was still graffiti from Stones fans on the back door of 2120 S. Michigan.
	🛒 12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone it all brings the specific contributions of each Stone into clarity.
	12:19pm Rich in Washington: Uncle Michael!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Rich!
	12:20pm Rich in Washington: I just read today that Jet Black of The Stranglers is older than Charlie Watts by a couple of years. Not particularly apropos of anything, just weird to think about.
	🛒 12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *SomeHOW
	12:21pm Pedro in Arlington: @Rich in Washington Weird to think that both Everly brothers were younger than Bill Wyman.
	🛒 12:21pm Phillippe: I'm surprised an internet security company hasn't co-opted Get Off of My Cloud for a commercial campaign
	12:22pm coelacanth∅: okay i'm sorry but i'm amused that you're playing the stones songs that demonstrate Charlie NOT at his best!
	🛒 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pedro - right ?! Everlys started young.
	12:22pm Listening Out There: Forgot Watts' drumming in "Sway." Has that great human feel...
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: ummm...ok?
	12:23pm TDK60: Disagree coel, "Cloud" is a triumph.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Not feelin' ya, Coel. Say what?
	12:23pm Rich in Washington: Watts' passing had me pulling out all my Stones records, 45s, CDs etc. Just so good.
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: 'doesn't mean i don't think he was great.
	12:23pm dan: Excellent guitar work by Mick Taylor.
	12:23pm johnk77: is the everly's mom alive?
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: coela: Which begs the question - which trax do ?
	12:24pm dan: @Pedro Even stranger is that the Everly Brothers’ mother is still alive at 102 years old.
	🛒 12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Taylor - better for the Stones than they were for him ? He's been onstage with them recently...
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: sway, one of my favorite 'stones songs of all, he messes up his fills more than once; get off my cloud he apparently couldn't maintain tempo. (though i'll bet that's been "corrected" in many re-releases.)
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: john!
	12:27pm Marie: Hey! Happy to be here. I know my ears are in good hands with UM. I hope someone gave that little boy a hug (in the gif)
	12:30pm TDK60: I think the Rollings messed up the tempo of "Down the Road Apiece" for a second, as the song begins. Sounds great. (I'm just guessing.)
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:32pm johnk77: gregg sutton told me mick taylor was very cool to record/tour with this would have been late 1970s->80s
	12:32pm Pedro in Arlington: Anybody know if the Everlys recorded anything by Warren Zevon, who was their band leader for some years? Another question: Does anyone who speaks the language know if Jagger comes anywhere close to the proper pronunciations in the Italian version of "As Tears Go By"? Thanks. This is more fun than Google.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Nobody knows! I did catch them when Albert Lee was in their touring band.
	🛒 12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Class to present some Don specifically.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I did likewise for Phil.
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: TDK i gotta say i love 'cloud and i always have. but i remember the first time i heard it, when i was around 8-9, on wcbs. going into the 3rd verse i noticed a major slow-down. it's there, on high tide and green grass; and on hot rocks. whatever. i'd rather have that than everything "corrected" like happens now. i was only stating a fact. the overwhelming time Charlie is right there.
	12:38pm johnk77: albert lee killed it live w/emmylou's hot band
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: I see that Joe McGasko played this gem on Monday.
	12:40pm dan: Are you going to play “On The Wings Of A Nightingale”? Paul McCartney wrote it just for them.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: This is the last Don tribute song today, dan.
	12:41pm doctorjazz: Hi, UM and Dinsketeers!
	12:41pm TDK60: I'll listen again, Coel, to Get Off My Cloud. I hope I have an old LP or tape in the castle somewhere...
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: it's just a thing i can't not notice! ...Ringo does the same in "rain"...also one of my favorite songs.
	12:43pm doctorjazz: Bike break, now back on my wheels (biking Watchung, Coel-haven't done it in a long time, very hard/hilly)
	12:44pm coelacanth∅: hey doc! have fun! i miss it
	12:44pm TDK60: On another recent show DJ Fiveash (not his show) said he appreciated the "fall-down-the-stairs" riffs by Charlie on some song.
	12:45pm coelacanth∅: - i used to commute though the res from north plainfield to summit on my bicycle
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:45pm TDK60: Are you a metronome, Coel? I thought I was, but my metronome says "nope."
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm thinking about actually joining other humans for a ride tomorrow morning.
	🛒 12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ringo cites 'Rain' as his best example of Drumming ! I believe there is a fair amount of varispeeding (slowing things down or speeding them up for effect) on it...
	🛒 12:46pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, isn't it funny how when we're young we hear those things? When the first album by The Doors came out, Crystal Ship got a lot of airplay locally. Ray Manzarek hits a flat note on the bridge. It always made me flinch when I heard it driving around in the car with my mom.
	12:47pm johnk77: especially fridays w/hot weather bike recreation needs to be done before noon eastern keith richard known as 1 of the biggest liars in music history but many sources agree charlie was hired for his feel hopefully any real jazzbo can play straight time?
	12:48pm TDK60: I think sometimes tape machines slowed a bit. (But don't know.) On a live Byrds side, I thought I heard that.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: haha TDK (@1244) ...to be honest it's possible that the MAJOR slow-down in rain was intentional
	12:49pm HyperDose: Joe McGasko, a man known far and wide for playing gems
	🛒 12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Humans make mistakes. If you want perfect machine music - it is available now in overabundance. Myself - I'm getting pretty tired of push-button sounds generally.
	12:50pm johnk77: long john baldry was mentor/boyfriend to many in the active social scene pre-stones strong agree that machines have mastered playing straight time there are humanizer buttons?
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: Franco now i'm curious. i haven't heard that song in decades
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's what I meant: Parts of 'Rain' speed manipulated deliberately & creatively. (Now even your phone can change playback speeds without altering pitches.)
	12:52pm spodiodi: i've yet to hear a CAN song i don't love
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: I would like to think that I'm the first DJ to ever segue from Earl Grant to CAN.
	12:53pm coelacanth∅: well, it's some superb drumming, but i think it's near the beginning of the 4th verse. 'doesn't seem intentional; it seems like he got tired. ...still a top 10 beatles track.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: some mistakes are actual mistakes and they're still just fine by me
	12:54pm TDK60: I tend to agree with the record spinner, often or mostly.
	12:54pm spodiodi: i'll back you up, UM (though my credentials aren't worth much.) worked well
	12:54pm rw: Good morning! Nice segue. Pretty sure I've never heard that one before. All my best moves have been mistakes.
	🛒 12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Been suggested this is one of TheBeatles' chief appeals: They progressed without ever losing a spontaneous club band's 'feel'.
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: Uncle.
	12:56pm HyperDose: Heard that, rw!
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: well hell yeah. shit, the pretty things one of my favorite bands but their first 2 albums, my 2 favorites, sound like they were recorded in one take. i love pavement too, and early royal trux...(etc)
	🛒 12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 PrettyThings
	12:59pm βrian: You're going to play Abba again?
	1:00pm Asheville Jon: today's funtime activity while listening to HDT: cleaning old glue off a pair of nice tubular wheels i just got, cleaning the spokes, hubs, repacking bearings.
	1:00pm spodiodi: i'm MAD about Hinky Dinky Time
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to get chocolate in the peanut butter...again.
	1:00pm spodiodi: (so it's too late. already mad)
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Brian!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: and everybody hates that
	1:01pm HyperDose: Happy to say I am now accepting dance partners
	1:01pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!!
	1:01pm βrian: They still make tubulars? I used to love overhauling hubs. Kind of meditative.
	1:02pm Asheville Jon: 'they' do still make tubulars (presuming you mean tires. these are older rims)
	1:02pm johnk77: back in the 1980s and probably today los lobos were the coolest & easiest to work with guys around put their whole band & crew in a stretch van and all the backline/perc in a trailer;>
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Jon, I'll only be impressed if you're sewing the tube inside the tires yourself.
	1:05pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Uncle Michael! I de-lurk for "Suavecito," one of my favorite hit singles of the year — wait for it — 1972.
	1:05pm chresti: I find that rubbing alcohol cleans tape residue and other sticky residue , nicely.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord-bait!
	1:06pm Gaylord Fields: Like a no-pest strip!
	1:06pm βrian: I, for one, am still waiting for 1972.
	🛒 1:06pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this! As much as Suavecito gets played, it still retains the power to knock me flat!
	1:06pm Asheville Jon: UM, way back when, when i was riding road tubulars in New Mexico (goathead capital of the world), i would patch tubs on the side of the road. meaning i would find the leak, unstich the threads, patch the tube, sew it back up, re-mount it, continue riding. i don't even remember if i simply carried a spare tire
	1:06pm xtrakrispy: Have to admit to lurking as well and having to login to "click-star" this one...
	1:07pm Marie: Hey, I thought my phone was ringing cuz I have this as my ringtone. Also, just wanted to say that Los Lobos is a great live band in addition to just being a great band
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: xtrakrispy!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord, you're the ultimate no-pest.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: kazoo every week!
	🛒 1:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning everybody!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Jon, repairing a sewup by the side of the road is....insane.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	1:11pm TDK60: I tried to add kazoo to one of my somber songs. Didn't work. Yet..
	🛒 1:12pm Franco Twinkie: Gaylord, Gary Sullivan did a total 1972 Krautrock set Wednesday on Bodega Pop. Everything was unknown to me, but boy did it have that unmistakable essence.
	1:12pm Asheville Jon: oh, i agree now UM, but back then, three terms applied to the situation: -young and dumb -gotta do what you gotta do -too broke to rub two nickels together
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: ha - just last night i listened 6-7 versions of lambada
	1:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Franco: Gotta listen, thanks for the tip. Gary's Michel Polnareff show from the week before was pretty much made for me.
	1:15pm johnk77: lambada riddim remixed island stylee
	1:16pm coelacanth∅: i never did find the version i heard first, many years ago but i'm happy with the Kaoma version
	1:17pm johnk77: bob & peter co-writers
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Time was when, Jon, that the only repair kit you'd see was a folded sewup spare held under the saddle with a toe clip strap...and a frame pump.
	🛒 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gawd Gary presents some kewl schizzle.
	1:22pm Asheville Jon: oh i know it UM. i don't recall if i had a spare at the time (on the bike), or if multiple flats required roadside repair, and the only pics i can find of me at that time with that bike are after i switched to clinchers. i just know i repaired tubs roadside a few times. didn't take super long, maybe 10 minutes. heck, i know people who take longer to deal with flat clinchers!
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: I would take longer.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, I can't keep my Spanish and Portuguese apart.
	1:23pm Asheville Jon: i carry my spare now neatly folded, with one of those 'old school' tubular holders with the two gigantic black o-ring things and a hook.
	1:24pm Listening Out There: Had a flat once on a rented bike. No tools, patch kit. Walked it a few blocks to a bike shop where a mechanic patched it one handed...while holding his very young child. Pretty amazing skill...
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I blame it on the Bossa Nova. As one does.
	1:24pm mauri: oba oba!
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I blame it on Steve and Eydie.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...them too.
	1:29pm Hubig Pie: A Philistine orders a side of spaghetti to go with her risotto and maybe some mash potatoes too. I know cuz Big Night
	🛒 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - Goliath got like that by carboloading. Gotcha.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: George Jessel called Sandy Koufax the greatest Hebrew athlete since Samson...apropos of nothing.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Hubig!
	1:38pm doctorjazz: Made it back, nice air conditioned room. Haven't done that in a while, not in shape for hills (did 30 flat miles last week without trouble, but that 18 miles was really rough. You're healed enough to bike, UM? That's GREAT!!!!
	🛒 1:39pm Brian in UK: Ah kissing the mirror songs are where its at.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: WB, Doc...yep.
	🛒 1:40pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, I saw Los Lobos on the night they played their first show outside of East Los Angeles. It was opening for Public Images at the Olympic Auditorium in 1980. It's safe to say this was on par with the rowdiest backyard party in Boyle Heights. But still, the toughest gangsters from Primera Flats don't spit and throw beer cans. They only got better and better. iViva Los Lobos de Este Los Angeles!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Franco, the best Los Lobos show I saw wasn't a show...it was a party.
	1:42pm dan: “Conversating” should be a word, not “conversing”
	🛒 1:42pm Franco Twinkie: Right on! They ARE the party band!!!
	1:46pm Hubig Pie: Saw Los Lobos at Tipitinas in New Orleans'92. Lotsa acoustic ethnic music. "Ranchera"? Don't know the style but it was a great show
	🛒 1:46pm Brian in UK: Franco, I remember seeing Los Lobos a while back. Got a lasting image of David Hidalgo hitching up his jeans after every number.
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: BiUK!
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Got lotsa time for Los Lobos.
	1:48pm dan: I coulda swore this was Patti Labelle
	1:48pm johnk77: sandy koufax once owned part of the tropicana in hollywood
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: They bought him out when he decided it should be closed on the Sabbath.
	2:01pm Fox: Tragically, I have not had ANY proper heirloom tomatoes this year.
	2:01pm βrian: Oh, I loves me some gazpacho. Little Human has never tried it, so I better get cooking.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: RNF, I'm buried in Black Krims.
	2:03pm KWilde: I’ve been enjoying the show (pretending to work). Never cared much for cold soup even in hot weather
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: KWilde! I can only assume you've never had a proper gazpacho Andaluz.
	2:07pm barrett785: Yay!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: DANCE PAT!
	2:09pm Fox: Uncle Michael, I'm so terribly jealous! I used to get in fights with my exbf who was upset at me for spending my foodstamps on heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market. "But these are TOMATOES that have the texture of RIPE MANGO and they look like a work of moderist ceramics! It is SUMMER and there are TOMATOES!"
	2:10pm Fox: Certain special / seasonal items demand one treat oneself. Proper tomatoes are one of those things.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: I benefitted from dumb luck and amended my soil just right, I guess...because they're producing really well. I keep freezing batches of San Marzanos.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: BUTT NAKED!
	2:13pm KWilde: UM - perhaps not. I’ve tasted some wonderful gazpacho but even a small cup is too much for me - same with vichyssoise
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: That's sad!
	2:15pm TDK60: Speaking of seasonal, I want corn on the cob tonight.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Check your machine.
	2:15pm Hubig Pie: My garden'maters seem content to stay green 🍏
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: They'll get there, Hubig.
	2:16pm dan: McCartney’s homage to Kraftwerk
	2:16pm Fox: Oh man. Good corn is also something one must always indulge in!
	2:17pm Fox: It sounds like a DAvid Lynch song.
	🛒 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't know who this guy is - but he was clearly stoned faceless.
	2:18pm spodiodi: haha
	🛒 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if in neither the Stones or Faces...
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: He has a bit of a weed problem.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: It took him 41 years to follow this up.
	🛒 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Dope. Underachiever.
	2:21pm TDK60: I'm not gardening now, Fox. Several years back I was, grew a rare Mex. organic yellow corn. I'd eat it plain, no butter.
	2:21pm still b/p: Ghost of Senor Wences in the machine.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: still b/p!
	2:22pm Fox: TDK, me too! I just boil it for one minute and eat it plain. unf.
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: this is delightful!
	2:22pm spodiodi: The Petticoats are hitting me hard with Normal
	🛒 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: OK. Not what I thot B&S sound like.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: They have a lot of sounds, Rev.
	2:36pm adamdoesit, unauthenticatedly: Happy Prez’s Birthday, UM & HDs. I’ll be catching up on the archives when I’m back in regular internet range.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	🛒 2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah WKCR in Prez~Bird marathon mode.
	2:40pm spodiodi: Science!
	2:43pm Hubig Pie: Oo.. I like The The
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In Spanish Soy Milk is just regular milk declaring itself.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: The The was not Was Not Was.
	2:44pm spodiodi: my uncle taught my cousin to replace the letter "E" with another word (that didn't sound like "E")... his sister (my aunt) wasn't happy that her young son was singing an alternate version of "ABCs"
	2:46pm chresti: Frijole milk
	2:46pm rw: Radio as it should be.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: I try my best, rw.
	2:49pm rw: Thanks, man. Always.
	2:52pm TDK60: Thanks DJ UM!
	🛒 2:52pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks a plenty Michael.
	🛒 2:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...leche de frijol scans well...
	2:53pm βrian: In a thrall over Tom T. Hall.

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.

	12:14pm david w: This is going to be fun. Hello, Michael and all!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: david!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: just a little bit of tribute today, david
	🛒 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I hope quoting Townshend @ length is not too much : “I only played with Charlie once, when he drummed for Ronnie Lane and me on our Rough Mix album. We did two faultless live takes (no overdubs at all) of my song ‘My Baby Gives It Away’. His technique was obvious immediately, the hi-hat always slightly late, and the snare drumstick held in the flat of the left hand, underpowered to some extent, lazy-loose, super-cool. The swing on the track is explosive. I’ve never enjoyed playing with a drummer quite so much. Of course that brings up Keith Moon, who was so different to Charlie. At Keith’s funeral Charlie surprised me by openly weeping, and I remember wishing I could wear my heart on my sleeve like that. I was tightened up like a snare drum myself. Charlie lived a quiet life in the English countryside. He had a London bolthole in St James’s for many years which I think he used mainly to visit his tailor and buy paintings. He is the exemplar of the perfect marriage, still married to his art-school girlfriend who he married secretly in 1964. I understand he lived a quiet and respectable life on the road as well. I know that like me he wasn’t mad on touring, but that wry smile of his – that hid a mischievous side to him that few us saw – could turn into the most beautiful wide-mouthed laugh at very little urging. I could make him smile simply by talking about growing up following my father Cliff’s post-war dance band. Charlie loved the ‘real’ music of that era. I’ve said here that his playing on ‘My Baby Gives It Away’ was flawless. I have suddenly remembered that he had trouble with the clipped ending. On the second take he nailed it, but was so shocked he had managed it that he burst into laughter and fell off his stool. That was a Keith Moon stunt, ask any drummer what they most dread doing and they will probably reply that they never want to fall off their stool.”
	12:16pm TDK60: Very groovy Rollings cut. Mich. Ave. Oh yeah.
	🛒 12:16pm Franco Twinkie: Great 4/4 drummers: Jimmy Carl Black, Bill Kreutzmann, D.J. Bonebrake, CHARLIE WATTS!!!
	12:18pm TDK60: Charlie's loud tonight idn't he?
	12:18pm Pedro in Arlington: I lived in Chicago in the late 80s. There was still graffiti from Stones fans on the back door of 2120 S. Michigan.
	🛒 12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone it all brings the specific contributions of each Stone into clarity.
	12:19pm Rich in Washington: Uncle Michael!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Rich!
	12:20pm Rich in Washington: I just read today that Jet Black of The Stranglers is older than Charlie Watts by a couple of years. Not particularly apropos of anything, just weird to think about.
	🛒 12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *SomeHOW
	12:21pm Pedro in Arlington: @Rich in Washington Weird to think that both Everly brothers were younger than Bill Wyman.
	🛒 12:21pm Phillippe: I'm surprised an internet security company hasn't co-opted Get Off of My Cloud for a commercial campaign
	12:22pm coelacanth∅: okay i'm sorry but i'm amused that you're playing the stones songs that demonstrate Charlie NOT at his best!
	🛒 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pedro - right ?! Everlys started young.
	12:22pm Listening Out There: Forgot Watts' drumming in "Sway." Has that great human feel...
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: ummm...ok?
	12:23pm TDK60: Disagree coel, "Cloud" is a triumph.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Not feelin' ya, Coel. Say what?
	12:23pm Rich in Washington: Watts' passing had me pulling out all my Stones records, 45s, CDs etc. Just so good.
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: 'doesn't mean i don't think he was great.
	12:23pm dan: Excellent guitar work by Mick Taylor.
	12:23pm johnk77: is the everly's mom alive?
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: coela: Which begs the question - which trax do ?
	12:24pm dan: @Pedro Even stranger is that the Everly Brothers’ mother is still alive at 102 years old.
	🛒 12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Taylor - better for the Stones than they were for him ? He's been onstage with them recently...
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: sway, one of my favorite 'stones songs of all, he messes up his fills more than once; get off my cloud he apparently couldn't maintain tempo. (though i'll bet that's been "corrected" in many re-releases.)
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: john!
	12:27pm Marie: Hey! Happy to be here. I know my ears are in good hands with UM. I hope someone gave that little boy a hug (in the gif)
	12:30pm TDK60: I think the Rollings messed up the tempo of "Down the Road Apiece" for a second, as the song begins. Sounds great. (I'm just guessing.)
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:32pm johnk77: gregg sutton told me mick taylor was very cool to record/tour with this would have been late 1970s->80s
	12:32pm Pedro in Arlington: Anybody know if the Everlys recorded anything by Warren Zevon, who was their band leader for some years? Another question: Does anyone who speaks the language know if Jagger comes anywhere close to the proper pronunciations in the Italian version of "As Tears Go By"? Thanks. This is more fun than Google.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Nobody knows! I did catch them when Albert Lee was in their touring band.
	🛒 12:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Class to present some Don specifically.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I did likewise for Phil.
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: TDK i gotta say i love 'cloud and i always have. but i remember the first time i heard it, when i was around 8-9, on wcbs. going into the 3rd verse i noticed a major slow-down. it's there, on high tide and green grass; and on hot rocks. whatever. i'd rather have that than everything "corrected" like happens now. i was only stating a fact. the overwhelming time Charlie is right there.
	12:38pm johnk77: albert lee killed it live w/emmylou's hot band
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: I see that Joe McGasko played this gem on Monday.
	12:40pm dan: Are you going to play “On The Wings Of A Nightingale”? Paul McCartney wrote it just for them.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: This is the last Don tribute song today, dan.
	12:41pm doctorjazz: Hi, UM and Dinsketeers!
	12:41pm TDK60: I'll listen again, Coel, to Get Off My Cloud. I hope I have an old LP or tape in the castle somewhere...
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: it's just a thing i can't not notice! ...Ringo does the same in "rain"...also one of my favorite songs.
	12:43pm doctorjazz: Bike break, now back on my wheels (biking Watchung, Coel-haven't done it in a long time, very hard/hilly)
	12:44pm coelacanth∅: hey doc! have fun! i miss it
	12:44pm TDK60: On another recent show DJ Fiveash (not his show) said he appreciated the "fall-down-the-stairs" riffs by Charlie on some song.
	12:45pm coelacanth∅: - i used to commute though the res from north plainfield to summit on my bicycle
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:45pm TDK60: Are you a metronome, Coel? I thought I was, but my metronome says "nope."
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm thinking about actually joining other humans for a ride tomorrow morning.
	🛒 12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ringo cites 'Rain' as his best example of Drumming ! I believe there is a fair amount of varispeeding (slowing things down or speeding them up for effect) on it...
	🛒 12:46pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, isn't it funny how when we're young we hear those things? When the first album by The Doors came out, Crystal Ship got a lot of airplay locally. Ray Manzarek hits a flat note on the bridge. It always made me flinch when I heard it driving around in the car with my mom.
	12:47pm johnk77: especially fridays w/hot weather bike recreation needs to be done before noon eastern keith richard known as 1 of the biggest liars in music history but many sources agree charlie was hired for his feel hopefully any real jazzbo can play straight time?
	12:48pm TDK60: I think sometimes tape machines slowed a bit. (But don't know.) On a live Byrds side, I thought I heard that.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: haha TDK (@1244) ...to be honest it's possible that the MAJOR slow-down in rain was intentional
	12:49pm HyperDose: Joe McGasko, a man known far and wide for playing gems
	🛒 12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Humans make mistakes. If you want perfect machine music - it is available now in overabundance. Myself - I'm getting pretty tired of push-button sounds generally.
	12:50pm johnk77: long john baldry was mentor/boyfriend to many in the active social scene pre-stones strong agree that machines have mastered playing straight time there are humanizer buttons?
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: Franco now i'm curious. i haven't heard that song in decades
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's what I meant: Parts of 'Rain' speed manipulated deliberately & creatively. (Now even your phone can change playback speeds without altering pitches.)
	12:52pm spodiodi: i've yet to hear a CAN song i don't love
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: I would like to think that I'm the first DJ to ever segue from Earl Grant to CAN.
	12:53pm coelacanth∅: well, it's some superb drumming, but i think it's near the beginning of the 4th verse. 'doesn't seem intentional; it seems like he got tired. ...still a top 10 beatles track.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: some mistakes are actual mistakes and they're still just fine by me
	12:54pm TDK60: I tend to agree with the record spinner, often or mostly.
	12:54pm spodiodi: i'll back you up, UM (though my credentials aren't worth much.) worked well
	12:54pm rw: Good morning! Nice segue. Pretty sure I've never heard that one before. All my best moves have been mistakes.
	🛒 12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Been suggested this is one of TheBeatles' chief appeals: They progressed without ever losing a spontaneous club band's 'feel'.
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: Uncle.
	12:56pm HyperDose: Heard that, rw!
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: well hell yeah. shit, the pretty things one of my favorite bands but their first 2 albums, my 2 favorites, sound like they were recorded in one take. i love pavement too, and early royal trux...(etc)
	🛒 12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 PrettyThings
	12:59pm βrian: You're going to play Abba again?
	1:00pm Asheville Jon: today's funtime activity while listening to HDT: cleaning old glue off a pair of nice tubular wheels i just got, cleaning the spokes, hubs, repacking bearings.
	1:00pm spodiodi: i'm MAD about Hinky Dinky Time
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to get chocolate in the peanut butter...again.
	1:00pm spodiodi: (so it's too late. already mad)
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Brian!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: and everybody hates that
	1:01pm HyperDose: Happy to say I am now accepting dance partners
	1:01pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!!
	1:01pm βrian: They still make tubulars? I used to love overhauling hubs. Kind of meditative.
	1:02pm Asheville Jon: 'they' do still make tubulars (presuming you mean tires. these are older rims)
	1:02pm johnk77: back in the 1980s and probably today los lobos were the coolest & easiest to work with guys around put their whole band & crew in a stretch van and all the backline/perc in a trailer;>
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Jon, I'll only be impressed if you're sewing the tube inside the tires yourself.
	1:05pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Uncle Michael! I de-lurk for "Suavecito," one of my favorite hit singles of the year — wait for it — 1972.
	1:05pm chresti: I find that rubbing alcohol cleans tape residue and other sticky residue , nicely.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord-bait!
	1:06pm Gaylord Fields: Like a no-pest strip!
	1:06pm βrian: I, for one, am still waiting for 1972.
	🛒 1:06pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this! As much as Suavecito gets played, it still retains the power to knock me flat!
	1:06pm Asheville Jon: UM, way back when, when i was riding road tubulars in New Mexico (goathead capital of the world), i would patch tubs on the side of the road. meaning i would find the leak, unstich the threads, patch the tube, sew it back up, re-mount it, continue riding. i don't even remember if i simply carried a spare tire
	1:06pm xtrakrispy: Have to admit to lurking as well and having to login to "click-star" this one...
	1:07pm Marie: Hey, I thought my phone was ringing cuz I have this as my ringtone. Also, just wanted to say that Los Lobos is a great live band in addition to just being a great band
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: xtrakrispy!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord, you're the ultimate no-pest.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: kazoo every week!
	🛒 1:10pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning everybody!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Jon, repairing a sewup by the side of the road is....insane.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	1:11pm TDK60: I tried to add kazoo to one of my somber songs. Didn't work. Yet..
	🛒 1:12pm Franco Twinkie: Gaylord, Gary Sullivan did a total 1972 Krautrock set Wednesday on Bodega Pop. Everything was unknown to me, but boy did it have that unmistakable essence.
	1:12pm Asheville Jon: oh, i agree now UM, but back then, three terms applied to the situation: -young and dumb -gotta do what you gotta do -too broke to rub two nickels together
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: ha - just last night i listened 6-7 versions of lambada
	1:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Franco: Gotta listen, thanks for the tip. Gary's Michel Polnareff show from the week before was pretty much made for me.
	1:15pm johnk77: lambada riddim remixed island stylee
	1:16pm coelacanth∅: i never did find the version i heard first, many years ago but i'm happy with the Kaoma version
	1:17pm johnk77: bob & peter co-writers
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Time was when, Jon, that the only repair kit you'd see was a folded sewup spare held under the saddle with a toe clip strap...and a frame pump.
	🛒 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gawd Gary presents some kewl schizzle.
	1:22pm Asheville Jon: oh i know it UM. i don't recall if i had a spare at the time (on the bike), or if multiple flats required roadside repair, and the only pics i can find of me at that time with that bike are after i switched to clinchers. i just know i repaired tubs roadside a few times. didn't take super long, maybe 10 minutes. heck, i know people who take longer to deal with flat clinchers!
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: I would take longer.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, I can't keep my Spanish and Portuguese apart.
	1:23pm Asheville Jon: i carry my spare now neatly folded, with one of those 'old school' tubular holders with the two gigantic black o-ring things and a hook.
	1:24pm Listening Out There: Had a flat once on a rented bike. No tools, patch kit. Walked it a few blocks to a bike shop where a mechanic patched it one handed...while holding his very young child. Pretty amazing skill...
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I blame it on the Bossa Nova. As one does.
	1:24pm mauri: oba oba!
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I blame it on Steve and Eydie.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...them too.
	1:29pm Hubig Pie: A Philistine orders a side of spaghetti to go with her risotto and maybe some mash potatoes too. I know cuz Big Night
	🛒 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - Goliath got like that by carboloading. Gotcha.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: George Jessel called Sandy Koufax the greatest Hebrew athlete since Samson...apropos of nothing.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Hubig!
	1:38pm doctorjazz: Made it back, nice air conditioned room. Haven't done that in a while, not in shape for hills (did 30 flat miles last week without trouble, but that 18 miles was really rough. You're healed enough to bike, UM? That's GREAT!!!!
	🛒 1:39pm Brian in UK: Ah kissing the mirror songs are where its at.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: WB, Doc...yep.
	🛒 1:40pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, I saw Los Lobos on the night they played their first show outside of East Los Angeles. It was opening for Public Images at the Olympic Auditorium in 1980. It's safe to say this was on par with the rowdiest backyard party in Boyle Heights. But still, the toughest gangsters from Primera Flats don't spit and throw beer cans. They only got better and better. iViva Los Lobos de Este Los Angeles!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Franco, the best Los Lobos show I saw wasn't a show...it was a party.
	1:42pm dan: “Conversating” should be a word, not “conversing”
	🛒 1:42pm Franco Twinkie: Right on! They ARE the party band!!!
	1:46pm Hubig Pie: Saw Los Lobos at Tipitinas in New Orleans'92. Lotsa acoustic ethnic music. "Ranchera"? Don't know the style but it was a great show
	🛒 1:46pm Brian in UK: Franco, I remember seeing Los Lobos a while back. Got a lasting image of David Hidalgo hitching up his jeans after every number.
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: BiUK!
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Got lotsa time for Los Lobos.
	1:48pm dan: I coulda swore this was Patti Labelle
	1:48pm johnk77: sandy koufax once owned part of the tropicana in hollywood
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: They bought him out when he decided it should be closed on the Sabbath.
	2:01pm Fox: Tragically, I have not had ANY proper heirloom tomatoes this year.
	2:01pm βrian: Oh, I loves me some gazpacho. Little Human has never tried it, so I better get cooking.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: RNF, I'm buried in Black Krims.
	2:03pm KWilde: I’ve been enjoying the show (pretending to work). Never cared much for cold soup even in hot weather
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: KWilde! I can only assume you've never had a proper gazpacho Andaluz.
	2:07pm barrett785: Yay!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: DANCE PAT!
	2:09pm Fox: Uncle Michael, I'm so terribly jealous! I used to get in fights with my exbf who was upset at me for spending my foodstamps on heirloom tomatoes at the farmer's market. "But these are TOMATOES that have the texture of RIPE MANGO and they look like a work of moderist ceramics! It is SUMMER and there are TOMATOES!"
	2:10pm Fox: Certain special / seasonal items demand one treat oneself. Proper tomatoes are one of those things.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: I benefitted from dumb luck and amended my soil just right, I guess...because they're producing really well. I keep freezing batches of San Marzanos.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: BUTT NAKED!
	2:13pm KWilde: UM - perhaps not. I’ve tasted some wonderful gazpacho but even a small cup is too much for me - same with vichyssoise
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: That's sad!
	2:15pm TDK60: Speaking of seasonal, I want corn on the cob tonight.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Check your machine.
	2:15pm Hubig Pie: My garden'maters seem content to stay green 🍏
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: They'll get there, Hubig.
	2:16pm dan: McCartney’s homage to Kraftwerk
	2:16pm Fox: Oh man. Good corn is also something one must always indulge in!
	2:17pm Fox: It sounds like a DAvid Lynch song.
	🛒 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't know who this guy is - but he was clearly stoned faceless.
	2:18pm spodiodi: haha
	🛒 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if in neither the Stones or Faces...
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: He has a bit of a weed problem.
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: It took him 41 years to follow this up.
	🛒 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Dope. Underachiever.
	2:21pm TDK60: I'm not gardening now, Fox. Several years back I was, grew a rare Mex. organic yellow corn. I'd eat it plain, no butter.
	2:21pm still b/p: Ghost of Senor Wences in the machine.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: still b/p!

	2:44pm Uncle Michael: The The was not Was Not Was.
	2:44pm spodiodi: my uncle taught my cousin to replace the letter "E" with another word (that didn't sound like "E")... his sister (my aunt) wasn't happy that her young son was singing an alternate version of "ABCs"
	2:46pm chresti: Frijole milk
