Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 17, 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.

Uncle Michael:

There are just 21 days until the 6th annual Hinky Dinky Time All Listener-Request Show!

There are two ways to make your request. You can either use the form at tinyurl.com... ..., or you can leave voice mail at (201) 204-9350.

If you leave voice mail, please pause after the tone before starting your recording, identify yourself by your WFMU listener name (or first name if you don’t have a listener name), and speak strongly, slowly and clearly. Note that leaving voice mail constitutes permission to use your recording on the show.

Feel free to also leave a Hinky Dinky Time show I.D. If you wish to do so, please pause between your request and your I.D. The format for an I.D. is "This is [listener name] and you're listening to Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio." You can get more creative if you’d like, but please include that information.

Thanks!

It is interesting how every few years (like 3-5?) a gospel song would hit the pop charts and do very well. Then you wouldn't hear any on the radio (commercial pop, anyway) for years again. Or is that just my memory?

I'd agree with Stanley, it wasn't so much a musical style (bit, did it harden into one), but an attitude, coupled with sneering vocals.
