	♥ 12:08pm Uncle Michael: Hopey! LOT! james! dan! Roberto! Andrew! Pauly! Doc! Franco! Dean! Doug! Rev! burke! spodi! Henry! adam! Hubig! Jeff! SOp!
	12:08pm Dean: The Burt album on which "Something Big" appears is terrific.
	🛒 ♥ 12:10pm doctorjazz: Always loved this "I Just Don't Know..."
	♥ 12:11pm Webhamster Henry: Fans of the Bacharach sound should check out Gaylord Fields' 2022 Marathon Premium, of Bacharach sounding tracks, including one by Fayelord '66 , which might be available for the Hellraiser, but I'm not sure.
	🛒 ♥ 12:11pm Alex In Illinois: Yeah, I thought I missed something. I usually start lip-synching the intro starting with the "You ain't never heard in your life ..." part to the end of the intro. There are 2 reasons why I rescheduled a meeting today 1) It's time would make me miss the Hinky Dinky intro 2) nobody was able to attend it today
	🛒 ♥ 12:11pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:11pm Listening Out There: Also checkoutable: "Less Common Burt"...
	♥ 12:11pm Webhamster Henry: Rooty-poots got into the stream this morning.
	♥ 12:12pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Phillippe!
	♥ 12:12pm Andrew in Toronto: Rooty-poots?
	12:13pm dan: The entertainment world just lost one of the biggest talents ever this week with Angela Lansbury, she could act and sing in comedy and drama all flawlessly. With her passing, there is only one actor nominated for an Oscar in the 1940s still alive and that is Ann Blyth who was up against Lansbury when she did Mildred Pierce as the daughter from hell Veda.
	♥ 12:13pm Webhamster Henry: I also did this Burt parody as an outgoing answering machine message: www.echonyc.com...
	🛒 ♥ 12:13pm Hopey Sockmonkey: And now these days San Jose is just as congested as LA.
	♥ 12:14pm Franco Twinkie: San Jose is such a crap hole. Who in there right mind would want to go there?
	♥ 12:15pm StringOFperils: Put a hundred down, and buy a candy bar.
	12:15pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:16pm dan: @Franco Twinkie Or San Francisco for that matter? Dog shit and heroin needles on every block.
	♥ 12:16pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	♥ 12:16pm Webhamster Henry: When I sang San Jose at the Loser's Lounge I think I took out my Cisco System lanyard (Cisco is based in San Jose)
	12:17pm Dean: San Jose has been high demand in recent months. Used to be a great stereo store there, well worth the trip. And a pretty swell Italian deli.
	🛒 ♥ 12:18pm Hopey Sockmonkey: When my family first moved to the bay area in the early 70s, San Jose was still surrounded by orchards.
	♥ 12:20pm burke: @Dean what deli is that you refer to?
	12:20pm Dean: Bertucelli's: http://www.wglavilla.com/
	♥ 12:21pm Franco Twinkie: Al lot of kids with with gumption would move from San Jose to San Francisco the first chance they got. Use to. Kids don't go to San Francisco anymore.
	♥ 12:21pm burke: Thanks. As someone who grew up far from the coasts, I always get excited by good Italian delis
	12:21pm dan: I forget that Bacharach and David wrote Close To You.
	12:21pm Dean: Evidently dogs do go to SF.
	♥ 12:23pm Franco Twinkie: Dogs and sociopaths.
	12:23pm Dean: It was a pleasant surprise, burke. After our trip to the (now defunct) stereo store, we went to Bertucelli's, rec'd by the proprietor of the store.
	🛒 ♥ 12:23pm unpopularfred: this up there with Isaac, and probably a third as long
	♥ 12:24pm Uncle Michael: uFred!
	🛒 ♥ 12:25pm doctorjazz: I thought this was Massachussetes (Bee Gees) when it started
	♥ 12:26pm Uncle Michael: But this is even cringier than Massachusetts.
	12:27pm lucas' fan club: May we see kitty?
	♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: That's up to Lucas.
	12:28pm Listening Out There: Hmm. Did Love do "Little Red Book" first? Or Mel Torme?
	🛒 ♥ 12:28pm unpopularfred: does this complete the venn diagram of songs recorded by both Love and Mel Tormé
	♥ 12:29pm Uncle Michael: First? That would be Manfred Mann.
	♥ 12:29pm StringOFperils: Mao Tse Tung's breakthrough single
	12:31pm phat in lincoln: I'm late!
	12:31pm Dean: Matching Mole dedicated an entire album to "My Little Red Book."
	🛒 ♥ 12:32pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Mel was so damn hip.
	🛒 ♥ 12:32pm unpopularfred: Mel was a great musician
	12:32pm Dean: My favorite BB song was by BB and ... Bob Hilliard.
	♥ 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: At least in L.A. Love's version of My Little Red Book was huge. The story goes that when Burt heard it he was kind of mad for them fucking around with the chord changes. Johnny Echols, the lead guitarist in Love said, rather diplomatically "Yeah, because we did that song, Burt got a new swimming pool."
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some will know that PinkFloyd's 'Interstellar Overdrive' resulted from their manager (I think) trying to tell them about 'Little Red Book' second-hand. Not quite the right chords. :D Bacharach reportedly called Love's version 'neurotic' - but it's about that anyway seems to me.
	♥ 12:35pm Webhamster Henry: A good B&D collection is this 3 CD set: www.discogs.com... Liner notes by Alec Cumming, music director of WPKN and father of Sunflower Bean rock star and model Julia Cumming.
	🛒 ♥ 12:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Santa Cruz was always great fun! Used to go to the boardwalk when I was a kid.
	♥ 12:35pm StringOFperils: I don't think Burt's conception of the world included proto garage punk
	♥ 12:36pm Franco Twinkie: I was a filthy hippy in Santa Cruz.
	🛒 ♥ 12:36pm Jeff Moore: "From a secret which should have been kept" – this reminds me of my pal Bennett's favorite (borrowed, I forget from whom, although I'm sure he attributed it) expression of the same sentiment: "This fills a much-needed gap."
	♥ 12:37pm StringOFperils: Hah! Sounds like Fran Lebowitz
	♥ 12:39pm burke: Love this. Great version by Jennifer Warnes too
	♥ 12:39pm Uncle Michael: phat! Jeff! Franco, Burt was richer than god before Love came along. He had all the pools he wanted.
	12:42pm phat in lincoln: The changes in Don't Make Me Over bring a tear to my eye EVERY DAMN TIME!
	🛒 ♥ 12:43pm Jeff Moore: @StringOFperils: Hah! indeed! It does, doesn't it? Knowing Bennett's usual reading intake, though, I'd be more likely to suspect some Golden Age science fiction writer or more recent technologist than the indispensable Fran L.
	♥ 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: True that Michael. Johnny and Arthur went to the movies and heard Manfred Mann's version...but still.
	🛒 ♥ 12:46pm Flimflamfilmnoir: Great choice for an October highlight show. The ringtone on my phone is the 1967 Casino Royale theme. Always puts a smile on when someone calls me.
	♥ 12:47pm Uncle Michael: Fffn!
	12:48pm wenzo toad: Howdy UM
	♥ 12:49pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	🛒 ♥ 12:49pm Jeff Moore: Oh. Apparently the phrase's history goes well back, and it's often been used in a completely straightfaced way oblivious to its literal meaning: quoteinvestigator.com...
	♥ 12:49pm StringOFperils: Crazy what can be found on the net. Thanks!
	♥ 12:50pm Uncle Michael: This radio program fills a much needed gap.
	🛒 ♥ 12:50pm adamdoesit: I had no idea Always Something… was a Bacharach/David tune.
	12:51pm dan: One of my predictions
	12:51pm Dean: Not to be a Dean Downer, but a former singer for a band I was in during the '80s ended up homeless in Santa Cruz. I'd lost touch with her long ago, but a mutual acquaintance informed me two or three years ago that our singer had died on the streets of SC. She was such a beautiful, fun, talented singer. I can't imagine how dreadful her final years were.
	12:52pm Andres: So great!!
	♥ 12:52pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this is so good!
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm Jeff Moore: @UM: Ha!
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael. A Burt Bacharach/Hal David all-time classic. The band's first UK number 1 single in 1965 (number 16 in the US). It was also the opening track on their debut album, "Take It Easy With The Walker Brothers".
	12:53pm Gerry from Miami: Hello, Uncle Michael! Really enjoying this Bacharach/David retrospective. Such incredible songwriters! And Burt is still hangin' in there at 94. Hal passed away at 91. Nothing like them!
	♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael: Andres! Alvy! Gerry!
	♥ 12:54pm StringOFperils: ooooh. Swooon
	♥ 12:54pm Franco Twinkie: I'll tell you Dean, under all that young carefree beauty, Santa Cruz was dark,very dark.
	12:55pm phat in lincoln: You'd have trouble convincing me that Anyone Who Had a Heart isn't the greatest pop song ever written.
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: I won't try.
	🛒 ♥ 12:56pm Alvy Singer: Dionne’s, Cilla’s, and Dusty’s versions each showcase their individual creative expression and talent.
	12:57pm phat in lincoln: It's quintessential weirdo-beautiful Bacharach.
	♥ 12:58pm burke: The Tigers could have used McLain this year
	🛒 ♥ 12:58pm doctorjazz: Love that Dusty!
	12:58pm phat in lincoln: @Alvy Singer yep
	♥ 12:59pm StringOFperils: Window of opportunity for me to ride my bicycle in the sunny chill air....so I'm ambulating thru it....bacharach in a while
	12:59pm dan: Just read that Hagrid from The Harry Potter film franchise, Robbie Coltrane, died today.
	♥ 1:00pm Roberto: Damn, Denny! 30 games and a recording contract. What can't you do?
	🛒 ♥ 1:00pm Brian in UK: Uncle Berry Gordy. Money, that's what I want.
	🛒 ♥ 1:00pm Brian in UK: dan. A mere 72.
	🛒 ♥ 1:00pm doctorjazz: Anyone into They Might Be Giants, free streaming show tonight. www.youtube.com...
	1:03pm dan: @Brian Great comic actor, Blackadder, The Young Ones, Nuns On The Run etc...
	♥ 1:03pm Webhamster Henry: A ringtone I made out of "Knowing When To Leave" is my phone alarm tone.
	🛒 ♥ 1:03pm Phillippe: That Walker Brothers was sublime. Toni Basil did my favorite "My Little Red Book" cover. youtu.be...
	♥ 1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Promises, Promises, a personal favorite from my junior high school years.
	♥ 1:04pm Uncle Michael: Cracker was my favorite Robbie Coltrane vehicle.
	♥ 1:07pm Webhamster Henry: There's a great story about how Dionne nailed that complicated rhythm right away!
	1:07pm Dean: I dribbled a lot, too, when I was small.
	1:07pm dan: Lennie Briscoe's former occupation before he became a police officer and detective.
	🛒 ♥ 1:10pm Jeff Moore: @UM: I'm with you on Cracker. It's always the first thing I think of when Robbie Coltrane's name comes up.
	1:13pm dan: Georgie Fame should've gone on the Vegas circuit with Sinatra and that crowd.
	🛒 ♥ 1:13pm Brian in UK: Phillippe. Love's version is a favourite. Not surprising that Burt hated it.
	♥ 1:14pm Uncle Michael: BiUK!
	♥ 1:14pm Uncle Michael: dan...instead of going to work for that putz Van Morrison?
	🛒 ♥ 1:14pm Brian in UK: dan. he is still performing, I believe.
	♥ 1:15pm Franco Twinkie: A House Is Not A Home mutates into A House Is Not A Motel - Arthur Lee tips his hat to Hal & David.
	1:15pm dan: @Brian Probably mostly in the UK and mainland Europe.
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: quite so, Franco
	1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A long way from red dirt for Emmylou.
	1:17pm still b/p: I'm getting some of it, but programming a show like this when I can't pay full happy attention is, as Donald Pleasence as the Dr. said of Michael Myers, "purely and simply...evil."
	♥ 1:18pm patrick321: From the peanut gallery, me three on Cracker
	♥ 1:18pm Roberto: I always think of the Mad Magazine Star Trek parody when I hear i'll Never Fall in Love Again: I'll Never Fly through Space Again.
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: still b/p! Patrick!
	♥ 1:19pm Dominick: Little Jimmy was such a disappointment
	1:19pm judy from croton: What are the chances that I had this song going through my mind all morning?
	♥ 1:20pm Uncle Michael: judy! 100%?
	1:20pm judy from croton: Casino Royale!!
	♥ 1:20pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	♥ 1:20pm Franco Twinkie: Billy Strange wearing a Sombrero holding a Morsrite guitar - what a concept!
	♥ 1:21pm Hubig Pie: Loved this movie as a kid. Watched some of it recently - no bueno
	♥ 1:21pm Webhamster Henry: Never Fear! Bond is here.
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Phillippe: Brian in UK I agree, the Love version is great. Still, gotta love a manic woman wearing a Polynisian outfit and ballet slippers making the song her own...
	♥ 1:21pm Roberto: What do you get when you fly through space? You sit and twiddle your thumbs for hours Then when you're through, you take cold showers I'll never fly through space again
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Jeff Golick: Bond. Jimmy Bond.
	1:21pm judy from croton: Yes, Uncle. You're worth it, man.
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Jeff Moore: Wow, I still have really negative reactions to anything associated with that spoof Casino Royale movie. I mean... I can now watch bits of it and find something amusing here and there, but the overwhelming feeling is... annoyance.
	♥ 1:23pm Webhamster Henry: You probably won't get to it, but the Sheena Stream's Mr. Fab did a mash up album as RIAA call Dirt Bacharach. archive.org...
	♥ 1:23pm Dominick: 1967 Casino Royale is one of my perennial faves. A fabulous mess filled with gems
	♥ 1:24pm Franco Twinkie: Now THAT'S Mad Magazine!
	♥ 1:25pm Uncle Michael: I fucking love Johnny Hartman.
	♥ 1:25pm MHLee: 1967 Casino Royale is a time
	1:26pm Dean: Then why don't you marry him?
	🛒 ♥ 1:26pm doctorjazz: Hartman doesn't use the melody a whole lot, but very cool version!
	1:26pm Dean: (Sorry. Reflexive retort.)
	♥ 1:26pm Uncle Michael: I really don't have a good answer, Dean.
	♥ 1:26pm Uncle Michael: MHLee!
	♥ 1:28pm Roberto: Random factoid: my father has been parodied in Mad Magazine. Let that sink in.
	🛒 ♥ 1:28pm doctorjazz: Interesting, I usually don't think as Hartman as a particularly bluesy singer, but he really does it here.
	♥ 1:29pm Uncle Michael: It's sinking in, Roberto.
	♥ 1:30pm Roberto: Excellent.
	1:30pm dan: @doctorjazz I would've preferred the versions by BJ Thomas, John Farnham (then known as Johnny Farnham) or Sasha Distel (either in English or French)
	1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Put Hartman on the shortlist of greatest singers for just his album with Coltrane. Yet honestly not familiar with much else. There's probly far too little of it...
	♥ 1:33pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I had a girlfriend who would always said that. Me:"Boy, I sure loved that roast beef sandwich."Her:"So why don't you marry it?" She now teaches creative writing at UCLA. Go figure.
	♥ 1:34pm Roberto: Oh yeah, and he's also been played a number of times on WFMU.
	♥ 1:34pm Roberto: k done flexin' thx bai
	🛒 ♥ 1:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: There were lyrics sung during the closing credits of Casino Royale.
	🛒 ♥ 1:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: (such as they were)
	♥ 1:39pm Franco Twinkie: It's the holidays Michael. All that obligation shopping.
	1:40pm dan: Is that Bob Marley singing or one of the other Wailers?
	♥ 1:40pm Uncle Michael: That's a good question, dan. I'm going with "probably".
	♥ 1:40pm chresti: What's new pussycats!
	♥ 1:40pm Franco Twinkie: I'd like to think it's Peter Tosh.
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: chresti!
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: You might be right, Franco.
	♥ 1:42pm Franco Twinkie: I said that to a waitress once. She dumped a plate of spaghetti in my lap.
	♥ 1:43pm Uncle Michael: Was it Franco-American?
	1:43pm still b/p: My girlfriend finds the Pussycat song -- when she hears Tom do it -- only silly and scowl-worthy. But it just is its own...from a time of...by people that....well, it just is. It sits rightly in the space...where it just is.
	♥ 1:43pm Franco Twinkie: Badda bing!
	🛒 ♥ 1:44pm PAULS: 'Twas Chef. Chef Boy R. Dee
	♥ 1:44pm Roberto: And with that, UM wins the comments for today.
	🛒 ♥ 1:45pm PAULS: My apologies, @Roberto! I had no intention of chat-bombing the coronation
	♥ 1:45pm chresti: Ha UM!
	♥ 1:46pm Uncle Michael: More Jerry.
	♥ 1:46pm Franco Twinkie: This is so fine.
	1:49pm still b/p: A sweater. My mind always sees Petula in a sweater.
	♥ 1:49pm Franco Twinkie: With true love you always have to adjust the idle.
	♥ 1:49pm Uncle Michael: I recommend a timing light.
	1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Has of course been observed that in a decade celebrated for youth & rebellion - Bacharach inhabited the Charts with maturity & sophistication. In fact part of what these trax evoke - amalgamated with what their inherent tones - is a deep evocative nostalgia.
	1:50pm dan: Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, the two greatest British female voices of the 1960s. Can't decide who was better.
	♥ 1:50pm Franco Twinkie: A boquet of roses and a screw driver
	1:51pm Listening Out There: @dan: Answer = Lulu
	1:51pm still b/p: Put coveralls over the sweater when under the hood. And check the much-needed spark plug gap
	1:51pm Listening Out There: ...or Shirley Bassey...or...
	🛒 ♥ 1:52pm doctorjazz: Real 60s "Beatkes: stereo here, Nancy's way off to the right here (she really doesn't have much of a voice).
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - yet a heavy romanticism.
	♥ 1:52pm Franco Twinkie: Mind the gap.
	1:53pm Gerry from Miami: UM, as much as I like Petula Clark I was wishin' and hopin' you had played the Gene Pitney version of "True Love Never Runs Smooth."
	1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like period films where they insisted on splitscreen & all sorts of things - because they could ...I like the audio manifestation of this better...
	♥ 1:54pm Uncle Michael: Well, we will have some Gene.
	♥ 1:56pm WR: The Wailers recording of What's New Pussycat just reminded me that my favorite version of My Little Red Book is by Tom Jones, and looking it appears that I can't find a recording by him...
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Another Bacharach/David tune that Pitney took on. Ian Tyson sounds like he could be Gene's brother or cousin. Similar vocal timbre.
	♥ 1:58pm Spinning Giant: Bonjour UM! :D Les amis! :D GADQCV! (translated = TGIF!)
	♥ 1:59pm Uncle Michael: SG!
	♥ 2:00pm Franco Twinkie: I like Ian & Sylvia's version of You Were On My Mind so much better than The Sunshine Company. Their version has a line about throwing up in the gutter.
	2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thinking of the MaryTylerMoore theme somehow ...yeah Dionne owns it. Perfect for them both.
	♥ 2:00pm Webhamster Henry: The Wendy Carlos What's New Pussycat is the one you'll probably hear here on WFMU.
	🛒 ♥ 2:01pm adamdoesit: True love's belts should be inspected for wear and proper tension. Too much and it binds; too little and it soon breaks down. Gotta sign off. Thanks, UM.
	♥ 2:02pm Franco Twinkie: Excuse me - We Five.
	2:02pm dan: @Franco Ian and Sylvia's version also kicks the ass of the We Five, who had the hit with the song.
	♥ 2:02pm Uncle Michael: see ya, adam
	🛒 ♥ 2:02pm doctorjazz: I know Vanilla Fudge was known for slowing things down, but how the heck did they manage to slow this one...?
	♥ 2:03pm Franco Twinkie: Sludge rock gets sappy.
	2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco yes - but of course WeFive were notably early FolkRawk to also trouble the Charts a little. & an early BayArea band as well.
	♥ 2:04pm Franco Twinkie: I do love the We Five.
	♥ 2:06pm Franco Twinkie: A red vinyl booth and thou.
	🛒 ♥ 2:07pm dutchtheo: Uncle! Walk On By in 3,2,1,..
	2:08pm still b/p: In the right state of mind-wiring, that Fudge would be as trippy as first-listen Floyd DSOTM tracks.
	🛒 ♥ 2:09pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Ahhh, the Campbell/Webb combo.
	🛒 ♥ 2:10pm Jeff Moore: Hopey Sockmonkey: Ahhh, the Campbell/Webb combo. Radar O'Reilly: Ahhh, Bach.
	♥ 2:10pm Franco Twinkie: Frank Zappa said The MOI opened for Vanilla Fudge on Long Island, their home turf. The audience yelled "You guys suck - bring on The Fudge!"
	♥ 2:11pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	2:12pm dan: @Franco Bet you anything that those same people would be paying money to see Zappa's headlining shows years later.
	🛒 ♥ 2:12pm Jeff Moore: UM: I love how on the video you reach a mitt up into empty space... ...and skyhook down a microphone.
	♥ 2:13pm Franco Twinkie: Most likely. "I saw Frank back when..."
	🛒 ♥ 2:13pm doctorjazz: Listening to the opening of this Reach Out For Me, I was wondering if Abba's Dancing Queen's opening was inspired by it...
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: Aren't all microphones stored in the sky?
	🛒 ♥ 2:14pm Jeff Moore: That's clearly where they should be stored!
	2:17pm still b/p: If we can't have jetpacks, we each want an always-following boom mike on wheels.
	♥ 2:17pm Uncle Michael: drone-mics
	♥ 2:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm not sure this advice holds up.
	2:19pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Respectfully disagree with you on "You Were on My Mind." The one-hit wonders, We Five, created a pop gem. The song thunders along till reaching that chilling crescendo and guitar strum at the end. Wonderful! A song you want to hear again as soon as it's over.
	🛒 ♥ 2:19pm listener james from westwood: Did not know "Wives and Lovers" was one of theirs!
	2:19pm still b/p: Yes..sorry, imagination was hung up in the period of much of the music today.
	🛒 ♥ 2:20pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'm so conflicted by Wives and Lovers. I love the tune but fucking hate the awful lyrics.
	2:21pm still b/p: I relish telling the unfamiliar with how startlingly stated the day's common attitudes are in Wives and Lovers.
	🛒 ♥ 2:22pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta run, thanks UM!
	2:22pm dan: The only non-Bacharach/David song on today's show.
	♥ 2:22pm Uncle Michael: see ya Doc!
	2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Gerry: Yeah - it's like Dylan compared to the BYrdS for TambourineMan. For JazzRawk I say if you water down Jazz's complexity & Rawk's power - you got the worst of both worlds. But sometimes another thing happens. Likewise - how much did FolkRawk compromise Folk to Chart. & how much is it also another thing its own.
	♥ 2:23pm Rich in Washington: I can't help hearing Steinski
	♥ 2:24pm Rich in Washington: This is amazing! I've never heard this before.
	♥ 2:24pm Uncle Michael: Roots of Steinski comp!
	🛒 ♥ 2:24pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I am totally down with this Tom Clay track however. It's awesome.
	♥ 2:25pm Rich in Washington: Songs Steven Stein Taught Us, Vol. 1
	2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The moment RFK's head hit the floor hope for Political Progress in the USA stopped. Maybe the DNC Chicago '68. Related anyhow.
	2:25pm still b/p: The stress-inducers and maximum mellow-glide together are like matter and anti-matter.
	♥ 2:25pm Franco Twinkie: Hopey, The Swingin' Sixties were a state of mind that only people in show biz could indulge in without emotional devastation.
	2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - we got Nixon & here we are really.
	♥ 2:27pm Rich in Washington: What does regret mean...?
	🛒 ♥ 2:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Well said, Franco (as usual)
	2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have said one thing about 1960s Music - is it was more than entertainment. People really needed it.
	2:29pm Gerry from Miami: Listened to DJ Tom Clay when he had a gig on LA radio in the 70s. I can remember when he would play a brand new album in its entirety on the air with only a break after Side One. He would alert listeners in advance to get their tape recorders all set. I remember getting a perfect dub of Neil Young's "Harvest" on the day it was released. I don't think the record companies liked this practice very much. I think Mr. Clay had a few run-ins with station management as well. Quite a polarizing fellow. But this record is great. It definitely makes its point
	♥ 2:29pm Franco Twinkie: RR, my friends dad what the first FBI agent at The Ambassador Hotel when RFK was murdered. I was at a party at their house once and dad was there. I thought to myself should I? I didn't have to worry, he wanted nothing more that to gab about it!
	2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Love' wigkey : en.wikipedia.org... - out by Jacke DeShannon April, '65. That's most of the year earlier than 'The Word' by TheBeatles, let alone 'All You Need Is Love' mid-'67.
	2:34pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Which song played today wasn't a Bacharach/David composition? I'm confused.
	2:35pm dan: @Gerry Abraham, Martin and John as part of the medley
	♥ 2:35pm Franco Twinkie: Gerri, was Tom on KBLA? I don't remember him at all. KBLA was to low wattage I couldn't pick it up in the SGV.
	2:36pm Gerry from Miami: Oh, OK. Good ear, buddy!
	2:38pm judy from croton: Betcha Louie Prima ate more than one egg for breakfast
	♥ 2:39pm Franco Twinkie: Haha!
	🛒 ♥ 2:42pm Jeff Moore: The mother of someone I dated awhile ago was an RN who spent time working in a ward serving many codgers. As you can imagine, dark humor was a necessary part of handling that work. So... of COURSE, whenever one of their patients got wheeled out for the last time, she'd start whistling "One Less Bell to Answer"
	2:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. I honestly can't remember what station(s) where Tom Clay manned the turntables. LA had so many----KPPC(later KROQ), KMET, KNAC, KLOS. And on and on, not even mentioning any AM broadcasters!
	♥ 2:43pm Uncle Michael: That's really...something.
	♥ 2:43pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this philosophy 1A in junior high.
	🛒 ♥ 2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyDinkyers All! Thanks Unc wonderful Bacharach-David chicken soup as I defeat the Vid. Luckily not a bad initiation( with the help of Paxilovid), though I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
	2:43pm still b/p: Louis Prima and Cool Hand Luke-- egg throwdowwwwwwn!
	♥ 2:44pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Get well, dammit.
	2:45pm Gerry from Miami: Gene baby! Pride of Connecticut!
	♥ 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: Gerry, I was an early adept of KPPC, and later I lived right down the street from KROQ. But I STILL don't remember Tom!
	2:47pm Dean: Marvelous irony, Franco @1:33.
	♥ 2:49pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, she dumped me because among other transgressions I didn't read enough.
	2:49pm Listening Out There: Am also a fan of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's version of You'll Never Get To Heaven...
	2:51pm still b/p: "If YOU love bound books so much, why don't you MARRY one?!"
	2:52pm Dean: I wonder if that's how she treats her students.
	♥ 2:53pm Franco Twinkie: When Red Rubber Ball by The Cykle came out in 1966 I ran to Grants to buy the single. The B side was Turn Down Day, which perplexed me greatly. Was he talking about turning down the bed?
	2:53pm Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. Tom clay was a big deal in Detroit early on. Even git caught up in the payola scandal! In LA he dj'd at KDAY, KRLA and KGBS.
	♥ 2:55pm Franco Twinkie: She's very popular at UCLA, Dean. She's very nice to everyone but me.
	🛒 ♥ 2:56pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! great show
	2:56pm dan: Great tribute show UM
	♥ 2:56pm Uncle Michael: got one more..due to the rough start
	♥ 2:57pm Roberto: The true test of someone's character is how s/t/he/y treat Franco.
	♥ 2:57pm Dominick: Marvelous selections UM. Thanks!
	2:57pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, Uncle Michael! Super show!
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: Oh, I grabbed a crappy sounding file to close the show! Yay, me.
	♥ 2:58pm Roberto: Y'all feel free to use my all-inclusive shorthand s/t/he/y
	♥ 2:58pm Franco Twinkie: I'm topped off. I don't need to hear anything else today. Thank you Michael.
	2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Franco Standard. ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: I'm glad toy all chose to spend this time with me today.
	2:59pm Dean: No Stranglers, really?!
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: (tugs earlobe)
	2:59pm Dean: Or did you play them last week?
	2:59pm judy from croton: Thank you all for a most enjoyable afternoon!
	♥ 3:00pm Uncle Michael: I played that a couple of weeks ago, Dean...right before I decided to do this tribute.
	3:00pm Dean: I thought it was still ringing in my ears...
	♥ 3:01pm WR: Thank you, Uncle Michael.
	3:01pm still b/p: Will listen again and recommend to a friend. Thank you. Bacharach tribute in public TV plead-a-palooza recently did that thing that annoys me so much: performers named, NO identification whatsoever on what TV show and date of any the musical clips.
	🛒 ♥ 3:01pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thanks for the great show, UM! Have a good weekend, y'all.
	🛒 ♥ 3:04pm Phillippe: Thanks UM!
	♥ 3:05pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 14, 2022

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.

	🛒 ♥ 12:11pm Alex In Illinois: Yeah, I thought I missed something. I usually start lip-synching the intro starting with the "You ain't never heard in your life ..." part to the end of the intro.

	12:13pm dan: The entertainment world just lost one of the biggest talents ever this week with Angela Lansbury, she could act and sing in comedy and drama all flawlessly.

	♥ 12:13pm Webhamster Henry: I also did this Burt parody as an outgoing answering machine message: www.echonyc.com...
	🛒 ♥ 12:13pm Hopey Sockmonkey: And now these days San Jose is just as congested as LA.
	♥ 12:14pm Franco Twinkie: San Jose is such a crap hole. Who in there right mind would want to go there?
	♥ 12:15pm StringOFperils: Put a hundred down, and buy a candy bar.
	12:15pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:16pm dan: @Franco Twinkie Or San Francisco for that matter? Dog shit and heroin needles on every block.
	♥ 12:16pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	♥ 12:16pm Webhamster Henry: When I sang San Jose at the Loser's Lounge I think I took out my Cisco System lanyard (Cisco is based in San Jose)
	12:17pm Dean: San Jose has been high demand in recent months. Used to be a great stereo store there, well worth the trip. And a pretty swell Italian deli.
	🛒 ♥ 12:18pm Hopey Sockmonkey: When my family first moved to the bay area in the early 70s, San Jose was still surrounded by orchards.
	♥ 12:20pm burke: @Dean what deli is that you refer to?
	12:20pm Dean: Bertucelli's: http://www.wglavilla.com/
	♥ 12:21pm Franco Twinkie: Al lot of kids with with gumption would move from San Jose to San Francisco the first chance they got. Use to. Kids don't go to San Francisco anymore.
	♥ 12:21pm burke: Thanks. As someone who grew up far from the coasts, I always get excited by good Italian delis
	12:21pm dan: I forget that Bacharach and David wrote Close To You.
	12:21pm Dean: Evidently dogs do go to SF.
	♥ 12:23pm Franco Twinkie: Dogs and sociopaths.
	12:23pm Dean: It was a pleasant surprise, burke. After our trip to the (now defunct) stereo store, we went to Bertucelli's, rec'd by the proprietor of the store.
	🛒 ♥ 12:23pm unpopularfred: this up there with Isaac, and probably a third as long
	♥ 12:24pm Uncle Michael: uFred!
	🛒 ♥ 12:25pm doctorjazz: I thought this was Massachussetes (Bee Gees) when it started
	♥ 12:26pm Uncle Michael: But this is even cringier than Massachusetts.
	12:27pm lucas' fan club: May we see kitty?
	♥ 12:27pm Uncle Michael: That's up to Lucas.
	12:28pm Listening Out There: Hmm. Did Love do "Little Red Book" first? Or Mel Torme?
	🛒 ♥ 12:28pm unpopularfred: does this complete the venn diagram of songs recorded by both Love and Mel Tormé
	♥ 12:29pm Uncle Michael: First? That would be Manfred Mann.
	♥ 12:29pm StringOFperils: Mao Tse Tung's breakthrough single
	12:31pm phat in lincoln: I'm late!
	12:31pm Dean: Matching Mole dedicated an entire album to "My Little Red Book."
	🛒 ♥ 12:32pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Mel was so damn hip.
	🛒 ♥ 12:32pm unpopularfred: Mel was a great musician
	12:32pm Dean: My favorite BB song was by BB and ... Bob Hilliard.
	♥ 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: At least in L.A. Love's version of My Little Red Book was huge. The story goes that when Burt heard it he was kind of mad for them fucking around with the chord changes. Johnny Echols, the lead guitarist in Love said, rather diplomatically "Yeah, because we did that song, Burt got a new swimming pool."
	12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some will know that PinkFloyd's 'Interstellar Overdrive' resulted from their manager (I think) trying to tell them about 'Little Red Book' second-hand. Not quite the right chords. :D Bacharach reportedly called Love's version 'neurotic' - but it's about that anyway seems to me.
	♥ 12:35pm Webhamster Henry: A good B&D collection is this 3 CD set: www.discogs.com... Liner notes by Alec Cumming, music director of WPKN and father of Sunflower Bean rock star and model Julia Cumming.
	🛒 ♥ 12:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Santa Cruz was always great fun! Used to go to the boardwalk when I was a kid.
	♥ 12:35pm StringOFperils: I don't think Burt's conception of the world included proto garage punk
	♥ 12:36pm Franco Twinkie: I was a filthy hippy in Santa Cruz.
	🛒 ♥ 12:36pm Jeff Moore: "From a secret which should have been kept" – this reminds me of my pal Bennett's favorite (borrowed, I forget from whom, although I'm sure he attributed it) expression of the same sentiment: "This fills a much-needed gap."
	♥ 12:37pm StringOFperils: Hah! Sounds like Fran Lebowitz
	♥ 12:39pm burke: Love this. Great version by Jennifer Warnes too
	♥ 12:39pm Uncle Michael: phat! Jeff! Franco, Burt was richer than god before Love came along. He had all the pools he wanted.
	12:42pm phat in lincoln: The changes in Don't Make Me Over bring a tear to my eye EVERY DAMN TIME!
	🛒 ♥ 12:43pm Jeff Moore: @StringOFperils: Hah! indeed! It does, doesn't it? Knowing Bennett's usual reading intake, though, I'd be more likely to suspect some Golden Age science fiction writer or more recent technologist than the indispensable Fran L.
	♥ 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: True that Michael. Johnny and Arthur went to the movies and heard Manfred Mann's version...but still.
	🛒 ♥ 12:46pm Flimflamfilmnoir: Great choice for an October highlight show. The ringtone on my phone is the 1967 Casino Royale theme. Always puts a smile on when someone calls me.
	♥ 12:47pm Uncle Michael: Fffn!
	12:48pm wenzo toad: Howdy UM
	♥ 12:49pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	🛒 ♥ 12:49pm Jeff Moore: Oh. Apparently the phrase's history goes well back, and it's often been used in a completely straightfaced way oblivious to its literal meaning: quoteinvestigator.com...
	♥ 12:49pm StringOFperils: Crazy what can be found on the net. Thanks!
	♥ 12:50pm Uncle Michael: This radio program fills a much needed gap.
	🛒 ♥ 12:50pm adamdoesit: I had no idea Always Something… was a Bacharach/David tune.
	12:51pm dan: One of my predictions
	12:51pm Dean: Not to be a Dean Downer, but a former singer for a band I was in during the '80s ended up homeless in Santa Cruz. I'd lost touch with her long ago, but a mutual acquaintance informed me two or three years ago that our singer had died on the streets of SC. She was such a beautiful, fun, talented singer. I can't imagine how dreadful her final years were.
	12:52pm Andres: So great!!
	♥ 12:52pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this is so good!
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm Jeff Moore: @UM: Ha!
	🛒 ♥ 12:52pm Alvy Singer: Hi Uncle Michael. A Burt Bacharach/Hal David all-time classic. The band's first UK number 1 single in 1965 (number 16 in the US). It was also the opening track on their debut album, "Take It Easy With The Walker Brothers".
	12:53pm Gerry from Miami: Hello, Uncle Michael! Really enjoying this Bacharach/David retrospective. Such incredible songwriters! And Burt is still hangin' in there at 94. Hal passed away at 91. Nothing like them!
	♥ 12:53pm Uncle Michael: Andres! Alvy! Gerry!
	♥ 12:54pm StringOFperils: ooooh. Swooon
	♥ 12:54pm Franco Twinkie: I'll tell you Dean, under all that young carefree beauty, Santa Cruz was dark,very dark.
	12:55pm phat in lincoln: You'd have trouble convincing me that Anyone Who Had a Heart isn't the greatest pop song ever written.
	♥ 12:55pm Uncle Michael: I won't try.
	🛒 ♥ 12:56pm Alvy Singer: Dionne’s, Cilla’s, and Dusty’s versions each showcase their individual creative expression and talent.
	12:57pm phat in lincoln: It's quintessential weirdo-beautiful Bacharach.
	♥ 12:58pm burke: The Tigers could have used McLain this year

	♥ 1:03pm Webhamster Henry: A ringtone I made out of "Knowing When To Leave" is my phone alarm tone.
	🛒 ♥ 1:03pm Phillippe: That Walker Brothers was sublime. Toni Basil did my favorite "My Little Red Book" cover. youtu.be...
	♥ 1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Promises, Promises, a personal favorite from my junior high school years.
	♥ 1:04pm Uncle Michael: Cracker was my favorite Robbie Coltrane vehicle.
	♥ 1:07pm Webhamster Henry: There's a great story about how Dionne nailed that complicated rhythm right away!
	1:07pm Dean: I dribbled a lot, too, when I was small.
	1:07pm dan: Lennie Briscoe's former occupation before he became a police officer and detective.
	🛒 ♥ 1:10pm Jeff Moore: @UM: I'm with you on Cracker. It's always the first thing I think of when Robbie Coltrane's name comes up.
	1:13pm dan: Georgie Fame should've gone on the Vegas circuit with Sinatra and that crowd.
	🛒 ♥ 1:13pm Brian in UK: Phillippe. Love's version is a favourite. Not surprising that Burt hated it.
	♥ 1:14pm Uncle Michael: BiUK!
	♥ 1:14pm Uncle Michael: dan...instead of going to work for that putz Van Morrison?
	🛒 ♥ 1:14pm Brian in UK: dan. he is still performing, I believe.
	♥ 1:15pm Franco Twinkie: A House Is Not A Home mutates into A House Is Not A Motel - Arthur Lee tips his hat to Hal & David.
	1:15pm dan: @Brian Probably mostly in the UK and mainland Europe.
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: quite so, Franco
	1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A long way from red dirt for Emmylou.
	1:17pm still b/p: I'm getting some of it, but programming a show like this when I can't pay full happy attention is, as Donald Pleasence as the Dr. said of Michael Myers, "purely and simply...evil."
	♥ 1:18pm patrick321: From the peanut gallery, me three on Cracker
	♥ 1:18pm Roberto: I always think of the Mad Magazine Star Trek parody when I hear i'll Never Fall in Love Again: I'll Never Fly through Space Again.
	♥ 1:19pm Uncle Michael: still b/p! Patrick!
	♥ 1:19pm Dominick: Little Jimmy was such a disappointment
	1:19pm judy from croton: What are the chances that I had this song going through my mind all morning?
	♥ 1:20pm Uncle Michael: judy! 100%?
	1:20pm judy from croton: Casino Royale!!
	♥ 1:20pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	♥ 1:20pm Franco Twinkie: Billy Strange wearing a Sombrero holding a Morsrite guitar - what a concept!
	♥ 1:21pm Hubig Pie: Loved this movie as a kid. Watched some of it recently - no bueno
	♥ 1:21pm Webhamster Henry: Never Fear! Bond is here.
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Phillippe: Brian in UK I agree, the Love version is great. Still, gotta love a manic woman wearing a Polynisian outfit and ballet slippers making the song her own...
	♥ 1:21pm Roberto: What do you get when you fly through space? You sit and twiddle your thumbs for hours Then when you're through, you take cold showers I'll never fly through space again
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Jeff Golick: Bond. Jimmy Bond.
	1:21pm judy from croton: Yes, Uncle. You're worth it, man.
	🛒 ♥ 1:21pm Jeff Moore: Wow, I still have really negative reactions to anything associated with that spoof Casino Royale movie. I mean... I can now watch bits of it and find something amusing here and there, but the overwhelming feeling is... annoyance.
	♥ 1:23pm Webhamster Henry: You probably won't get to it, but the Sheena Stream's Mr. Fab did a mash up album as RIAA call Dirt Bacharach. archive.org...
	♥ 1:23pm Dominick: 1967 Casino Royale is one of my perennial faves. A fabulous mess filled with gems
	♥ 1:24pm Franco Twinkie: Now THAT'S Mad Magazine!
	♥ 1:25pm Uncle Michael: I fucking love Johnny Hartman.
	♥ 1:25pm MHLee: 1967 Casino Royale is a time
	1:26pm Dean: Then why don't you marry him?
	🛒 ♥ 1:26pm doctorjazz: Hartman doesn't use the melody a whole lot, but very cool version!
	1:26pm Dean: (Sorry. Reflexive retort.)
	♥ 1:26pm Uncle Michael: I really don't have a good answer, Dean.
	♥ 1:26pm Uncle Michael: MHLee!
	♥ 1:28pm Roberto: Random factoid: my father has been parodied in Mad Magazine. Let that sink in.
	🛒 ♥ 1:28pm doctorjazz: Interesting, I usually don't think as Hartman as a particularly bluesy singer, but he really does it here.
	♥ 1:29pm Uncle Michael: It's sinking in, Roberto.
	♥ 1:30pm Roberto: Excellent.
	1:30pm dan: @doctorjazz I would've preferred the versions by BJ Thomas, John Farnham (then known as Johnny Farnham) or Sasha Distel (either in English or French)
	1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Put Hartman on the shortlist of greatest singers for just his album with Coltrane. Yet honestly not familiar with much else. There's probly far too little of it...
	♥ 1:33pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I had a girlfriend who would always said that. Me:"Boy, I sure loved that roast beef sandwich."Her:"So why don't you marry it?" She now teaches creative writing at UCLA. Go figure.
	♥ 1:34pm Roberto: Oh yeah, and he's also been played a number of times on WFMU.
	♥ 1:34pm Roberto: k done flexin' thx bai
	🛒 ♥ 1:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: There were lyrics sung during the closing credits of Casino Royale.
	🛒 ♥ 1:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: (such as they were)
	♥ 1:39pm Franco Twinkie: It's the holidays Michael. All that obligation shopping.
	1:40pm dan: Is that Bob Marley singing or one of the other Wailers?
	♥ 1:40pm Uncle Michael: That's a good question, dan. I'm going with "probably".
	♥ 1:40pm chresti: What's new pussycats!
	♥ 1:40pm Franco Twinkie: I'd like to think it's Peter Tosh.
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: chresti!
	♥ 1:41pm Uncle Michael: You might be right, Franco.
	♥ 1:42pm Franco Twinkie: I said that to a waitress once. She dumped a plate of spaghetti in my lap.
	♥ 1:43pm Uncle Michael: Was it Franco-American?
	1:43pm still b/p: My girlfriend finds the Pussycat song -- when she hears Tom do it -- only silly and scowl-worthy. But it just is its own...from a time of...by people that....well, it just is. It sits rightly in the space...where it just is.
	♥ 1:43pm Franco Twinkie: Badda bing!
	🛒 ♥ 1:44pm PAULS: 'Twas Chef. Chef Boy R. Dee
	♥ 1:44pm Roberto: And with that, UM wins the comments for today.
	🛒 ♥ 1:45pm PAULS: My apologies, @Roberto! I had no intention of chat-bombing the coronation
	♥ 1:45pm chresti: Ha UM!
	♥ 1:46pm Uncle Michael: More Jerry.
	♥ 1:46pm Franco Twinkie: This is so fine.
	1:49pm still b/p: A sweater. My mind always sees Petula in a sweater.
	♥ 1:49pm Franco Twinkie: With true love you always have to adjust the idle.
	♥ 1:49pm Uncle Michael: I recommend a timing light.
	1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Has of course been observed that in a decade celebrated for youth & rebellion - Bacharach inhabited the Charts with maturity & sophistication. In fact part of what these trax evoke - amalgamated with what their inherent tones - is a deep evocative nostalgia.
	1:50pm dan: Petula Clark, Dusty Springfield, the two greatest British female voices of the 1960s. Can't decide who was better.
	♥ 1:50pm Franco Twinkie: A boquet of roses and a screw driver
	1:51pm Listening Out There: @dan: Answer = Lulu
	1:51pm still b/p: Put coveralls over the sweater when under the hood. And check the much-needed spark plug gap
	1:51pm Listening Out There: ...or Shirley Bassey...or...
	🛒 ♥ 1:52pm doctorjazz: Real 60s "Beatkes: stereo here, Nancy's way off to the right here (she really doesn't have much of a voice).
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - yet a heavy romanticism.
	♥ 1:52pm Franco Twinkie: Mind the gap.
	1:53pm Gerry from Miami: UM, as much as I like Petula Clark I was wishin' and hopin' you had played the Gene Pitney version of "True Love Never Runs Smooth."
	1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like period films where they insisted on splitscreen & all sorts of things - because they could ...I like the audio manifestation of this better...
	♥ 1:54pm Uncle Michael: Well, we will have some Gene.
	♥ 1:56pm WR: The Wailers recording of What's New Pussycat just reminded me that my favorite version of My Little Red Book is by Tom Jones, and looking it appears that I can't find a recording by him...
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: Another Bacharach/David tune that Pitney took on. Ian Tyson sounds like he could be Gene's brother or cousin. Similar vocal timbre.
	♥ 1:58pm Spinning Giant: Bonjour UM! :D Les amis! :D GADQCV! (translated = TGIF!)
	♥ 1:59pm Uncle Michael: SG!
	♥ 2:00pm Franco Twinkie: I like Ian & Sylvia's version of You Were On My Mind so much better than The Sunshine Company. Their version has a line about throwing up in the gutter.
	2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thinking of the MaryTylerMoore theme somehow ...yeah Dionne owns it. Perfect for them both.
	♥ 2:00pm Webhamster Henry: The Wendy Carlos What's New Pussycat is the one you'll probably hear here on WFMU.
	🛒 ♥ 2:01pm adamdoesit: True love's belts should be inspected for wear and proper tension. Too much and it binds; too little and it soon breaks down. Gotta sign off. Thanks, UM.
	♥ 2:02pm Franco Twinkie: Excuse me - We Five.
	2:02pm dan: @Franco Ian and Sylvia's version also kicks the ass of the We Five, who had the hit with the song.
	♥ 2:02pm Uncle Michael: see ya, adam
	🛒 ♥ 2:02pm doctorjazz: I know Vanilla Fudge was known for slowing things down, but how the heck did they manage to slow this one...?
	♥ 2:03pm Franco Twinkie: Sludge rock gets sappy.
	2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco yes - but of course WeFive were notably early FolkRawk to also trouble the Charts a little. & an early BayArea band as well.
	♥ 2:04pm Franco Twinkie: I do love the We Five.
	♥ 2:06pm Franco Twinkie: A red vinyl booth and thou.
	🛒 ♥ 2:07pm dutchtheo: Uncle! Walk On By in 3,2,1,..
	2:08pm still b/p: In the right state of mind-wiring, that Fudge would be as trippy as first-listen Floyd DSOTM tracks.
	🛒 ♥ 2:09pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Ahhh, the Campbell/Webb combo.
	🛒 ♥ 2:10pm Jeff Moore: Hopey Sockmonkey: Ahhh, the Campbell/Webb combo. Radar O'Reilly: Ahhh, Bach.
	♥ 2:10pm Franco Twinkie: Frank Zappa said The MOI opened for Vanilla Fudge on Long Island, their home turf. The audience yelled "You guys suck - bring on The Fudge!"
	♥ 2:11pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	2:12pm dan: @Franco Bet you anything that those same people would be paying money to see Zappa's headlining shows years later.
	🛒 ♥ 2:12pm Jeff Moore: UM: I love how on the video you reach a mitt up into empty space... ...and skyhook down a microphone.
	♥ 2:13pm Franco Twinkie: Most likely. "I saw Frank back when..."
	🛒 ♥ 2:13pm doctorjazz: Listening to the opening of this Reach Out For Me, I was wondering if Abba's Dancing Queen's opening was inspired by it...
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: Aren't all microphones stored in the sky?
	🛒 ♥ 2:14pm Jeff Moore: That's clearly where they should be stored!
	2:17pm still b/p: If we can't have jetpacks, we each want an always-following boom mike on wheels.
	♥ 2:17pm Uncle Michael: drone-mics
	♥ 2:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm not sure this advice holds up.
	2:19pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Respectfully disagree with you on "You Were on My Mind." The one-hit wonders, We Five, created a pop gem. The song thunders along till reaching that chilling crescendo and guitar strum at the end. Wonderful! A song you want to hear again as soon as it's over.
	🛒 ♥ 2:19pm listener james from westwood: Did not know "Wives and Lovers" was one of theirs!
	2:19pm still b/p: Yes..sorry, imagination was hung up in the period of much of the music today.
	🛒 ♥ 2:20pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'm so conflicted by Wives and Lovers. I love the tune but fucking hate the awful lyrics.
	2:21pm still b/p: I relish telling the unfamiliar with how startlingly stated the day's common attitudes are in Wives and Lovers.
	🛒 ♥ 2:22pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta run, thanks UM!
	2:22pm dan: The only non-Bacharach/David song on today's show.
	♥ 2:22pm Uncle Michael: see ya Doc!
	2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Gerry: Yeah - it's like Dylan compared to the BYrdS for TambourineMan. For JazzRawk I say if you water down Jazz's complexity & Rawk's power - you got the worst of both worlds. But sometimes another thing happens. Likewise - how much did FolkRawk compromise Folk to Chart. & how much is it also another thing its own.
	♥ 2:23pm Rich in Washington: I can't help hearing Steinski
	♥ 2:24pm Rich in Washington: This is amazing! I've never heard this before.
	♥ 2:24pm Uncle Michael: Roots of Steinski comp!
	🛒 ♥ 2:24pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I am totally down with this Tom Clay track however. It's awesome.
	♥ 2:25pm Rich in Washington: Songs Steven Stein Taught Us, Vol. 1
	2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The moment RFK's head hit the floor hope for Political Progress in the USA stopped. Maybe the DNC Chicago '68. Related anyhow.
	2:25pm still b/p: The stress-inducers and maximum mellow-glide together are like matter and anti-matter.
	♥ 2:25pm Franco Twinkie: Hopey, The Swingin' Sixties were a state of mind that only people in show biz could indulge in without emotional devastation.
	2:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - we got Nixon & here we are really.
	♥ 2:27pm Rich in Washington: What does regret mean...?
	🛒 ♥ 2:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Well said, Franco (as usual)
	2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have said one thing about 1960s Music - is it was more than entertainment. People really needed it.
	2:29pm Gerry from Miami: Listened to DJ Tom Clay when he had a gig on LA radio in the 70s. I can remember when he would play a brand new album in its entirety on the air with only a break after Side One. He would alert listeners in advance to get their tape recorders all set. I remember getting a perfect dub of Neil Young's "Harvest" on the day it was released. I don't think the record companies liked this practice very much. I think Mr. Clay had a few run-ins with station management as well. Quite a polarizing fellow. But this record is great. It definitely makes its point
	♥ 2:29pm Franco Twinkie: RR, my friends dad what the first FBI agent at The Ambassador Hotel when RFK was murdered. I was at a party at their house once and dad was there. I thought to myself should I? I didn't have to worry, he wanted nothing more that to gab about it!
	2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Love' wigkey : en.wikipedia.org... - out by Jacke DeShannon April, '65. That's most of the year earlier than 'The Word' by TheBeatles, let alone 'All You Need Is Love' mid-'67.
	2:34pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. Which song played today wasn't a Bacharach/David composition? I'm confused.
	2:35pm dan: @Gerry Abraham, Martin and John as part of the medley
	♥ 2:35pm Franco Twinkie: Gerri, was Tom on KBLA? I don't remember him at all. KBLA was to low wattage I couldn't pick it up in the SGV.
	2:36pm Gerry from Miami: Oh, OK. Good ear, buddy!
	2:38pm judy from croton: Betcha Louie Prima ate more than one egg for breakfast
	♥ 2:39pm Franco Twinkie: Haha!
	🛒 ♥ 2:42pm Jeff Moore: The mother of someone I dated awhile ago was an RN who spent time working in a ward serving many codgers. As you can imagine, dark humor was a necessary part of handling that work. So... of COURSE, whenever one of their patients got wheeled out for the last time, she'd start whistling "One Less Bell to Answer"
	2:42pm Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. I honestly can't remember what station(s) where Tom Clay manned the turntables. LA had so many----KPPC(later KROQ), KMET, KNAC, KLOS. And on and on, not even mentioning any AM broadcasters!
	♥ 2:43pm Uncle Michael: That's really...something.
	♥ 2:43pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this philosophy 1A in junior high.
	🛒 ♥ 2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyDinkyers All! Thanks Unc wonderful Bacharach-David chicken soup as I defeat the Vid. Luckily not a bad initiation( with the help of Paxilovid), though I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
	2:43pm still b/p: Louis Prima and Cool Hand Luke-- egg throwdowwwwwwn!
	♥ 2:44pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Get well, dammit.
	2:45pm Gerry from Miami: Gene baby! Pride of Connecticut!
	♥ 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: Gerry, I was an early adept of KPPC, and later I lived right down the street from KROQ. But I STILL don't remember Tom!
	2:47pm Dean: Marvelous irony, Franco @1:33.
	♥ 2:49pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, she dumped me because among other transgressions I didn't read enough.
	2:49pm Listening Out There: Am also a fan of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's version of You'll Never Get To Heaven...
	2:51pm still b/p: "If YOU love bound books so much, why don't you MARRY one?!"
	2:52pm Dean: I wonder if that's how she treats her students.
	♥ 2:53pm Franco Twinkie: When Red Rubber Ball by The Cykle came out in 1966 I ran to Grants to buy the single. The B side was Turn Down Day, which perplexed me greatly. Was he talking about turning down the bed?
	2:53pm Gerry from Miami: @Franco Twinkie. Tom clay was a big deal in Detroit early on. Even git caught up in the payola scandal! In LA he dj'd at KDAY, KRLA and KGBS.
	♥ 2:55pm Franco Twinkie: She's very popular at UCLA, Dean. She's very nice to everyone but me.
	🛒 ♥ 2:56pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! great show
	2:56pm dan: Great tribute show UM
	♥ 2:56pm Uncle Michael: got one more..due to the rough start
	♥ 2:57pm Roberto: The true test of someone's character is how s/t/he/y treat Franco.
	♥ 2:57pm Dominick: Marvelous selections UM. Thanks!
	2:57pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, Uncle Michael! Super show!
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: Oh, I grabbed a crappy sounding file to close the show! Yay, me.

	♥ 2:58pm Franco Twinkie: I'm topped off. I don't need to hear anything else today. Thank you Michael.
	2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Franco Standard. ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: I'm glad toy all chose to spend this time with me today.
	2:59pm Dean: No Stranglers, really?!
	♥ 2:59pm Uncle Michael: (tugs earlobe)
	2:59pm Dean: Or did you play them last week?
	2:59pm judy from croton: Thank you all for a most enjoyable afternoon!
	♥ 3:00pm Uncle Michael: I played that a couple of weeks ago, Dean...right before I decided to do this tribute.
	3:00pm Dean: I thought it was still ringing in my ears...
	♥ 3:01pm WR: Thank you, Uncle Michael.
	3:01pm still b/p: Will listen again and recommend to a friend. Thank you. Bacharach tribute in public TV plead-a-palooza recently did that thing that annoys me so much: performers named, NO identification whatsoever on what TV show and date of any the musical clips.
	🛒 ♥ 3:01pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thanks for the great show, UM! Have a good weekend, y'all.
	🛒 ♥ 3:04pm Phillippe: Thanks UM!
