	12:04pm TDK60: Uncle Michael! Hello.
	12:04pm wenzo toad: It’s around noon here but it feels like 11:43
	12:04pm egould: Hi Uncle Michael. Hi listeners.
	12:04pm dan: I always said that the ideal President of the United States should have the compassion of Mr. Rogers, but the no-nonsense demeanor of Judge Judy.
	🛒 12:04pm Brian in UK: Uncle. Is the twitch not working?
	12:04pm dougseidel: Already a great show
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Kim! Doc! chresti! Andrew! egould! Dean! TDK~
	12:04pm chresti: Are the king and queen going to have a baby?

	12:05pm Dean: Takes more than heavy smooching, chresti.
	12:05pm Spinning Giant: Greetings, UM Hi-Di-ddly-Dingers!

	12:06pm Dean: That's my prognostication quotient for the day.
	🛒 12:06pm Phillippe: howdy! Lordy I love the Raspberries!
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! SOp! Alex! Roberto! Artie! BiUK! SG! sinner! Phillippe!
	12:08pm Spinning Giant: docjazz - that is just fantastic! every time my progeny starts singing one of the Woof-Moo themes, i grin from ear-to-ear now indoctrinating them with their own swag (Tees) to spread the word further afield up here north of the 49th :D)))
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Really, Kim? I somehow missed the memo!
	12:08pm spodiodi: good morning, UM! good morning, Hinky Dinky Time shoppers
	12:08pm Roberto: Twitch back online. Lucas, you know what to do.
	12:08pm dan: Rolling Stone magazine never included Eric Carmen on their great vocalists list. That is a travesty.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Twitch is up.
	12:09pm KimSorise: Yes - UM. I signed up weeks ago. Pulling my favorite Paul Williams and Al Stewart for the occasion :)
	12:09pm chresti: *That was for raspberry the fruit
	12:10pm bradford: Hiya UM, hiya everyone!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Then a much belated THANK YOU, Kim!
	12:11pm doctorjazz: @Spinning Giant-my younger daughter "liberated" one of my Woof Moo Fleece jackets-she gets into conversations with WFMU fans in the world (she doesn't listen on her own-music listening these days is strictly Spotify lists, but she's now back at home, and is "forced' to listen quite a bit). She even liked the "out" Holloween sounds on DO Radio recently...
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Doc, please record her singing it. That's amazing.
	12:11pm dan: Possible predictions: John Lennon: "Imagine" Temptations: "Just My Imagination" Olivia Newton-John: "Magic"
	12:11pm chresti: How are you UM? How's the pain management going?
	12:12pm TDK60: Youth need to be sent to radio re-education camp. ... Maybe not.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: bradford!
	12:12pm chresti: Yay Kim!
	12:13pm dan: Moody Blues: Land of Make Believe?
	12:13pm StringOFperils: Ooh, I like that shot! The library.
	12:13pm johnk77: raspberries just another band from north-east ohio
	12:13pm Roberto: I don't like that shot. NO LUCAS :(
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: chresti, I've plateaued. I have bad twinges and I can't pedal a bicycle. I have a consult with another ortho scheduled. Thanks for asking.
	12:14pm dan: @Johnk77 Correction: The best band from NE Ohio
	12:14pm StringOFperils: No cats will be seen before their time.__Orson Welles
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: john!
	🛒 12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Where da kat @ ??
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Rev!
	12:15pm johnk77: it's cold outside was a hit in that market
	🛒 12:15pm Brian in UK: Uncle, how do you get into that room? A firemans pole.
	12:15pm egould: Can’t Believe by fIREHOSE
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: BiUK, I walk in!
	12:16pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Uncle Michael! I'm not faking it - still testing postive a little.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Henry! Try and be more negative.
	12:17pm efd: I have this on a 45! A longtime favorite.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: efd!
	12:17pm Dean: "There's No Business Like Show Business"?
	12:17pm Webhamster Henry: I miss albums like Bookends. "Some days I can't get up the mucus"
	12:17pm dan: Disappointed, tonight I was supposed to see Dom Irerra perform at Governor's Comedy Club in Levittown, but he cancelled only 2 days ago. It was my gift to my dad for his 70th birthday in August. Hopefully, something else will come up.
	🛒 12:18pm Alvy Singer: Amateur Hour by Sparks. Hi Uncle Michael.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Alvy!
	12:19pm KimSorise: Hey Chresti!
	12:19pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Loving this set, UM!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	12:20pm johnk77: instead of your mind's eye your mind's ear?
	12:20pm Dean: "The Great Pretender." "The Pretender." "Love Me Tender." Strike that last one.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: That was a predictive fender bender.
	12:22pm Dean: Fender? I marshaled all my wit.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Best faux Kinks ever?
	12:22pm doctorjazz: UM, might be a physical therapy issue. Had back back issues (spinal stenosis), couldn't walk 10 steps without stopping in pain. Did 12 weeks PT, wasn't better, but kept it up-after about 6-8 months gots relief, sometimes you have to stick with it.
	12:23pm Dean: Do not try saying "faux Kinks" three times real fast.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Doc, the place I'm going next has a great PT program. Thanks.
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YES ! Great Tomorrow song that is not White Bicycle. Conspicuously lysergic @ that.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: YES?
	12:25pm Dean: One can draw a line from Howe's work in that Tomorrow tune straight to "Starship Trooper."
	12:25pm dan: Steve Howe is still going strong, albeit with a hollowed shell of a version of Yes. Bring back Jon Anderson, at least for one last tour.
	12:26pm johnk77: the kinks were quite popular and played out in ne ohio late 1960s
	🛒 12:27pm PAULS: I'll have a Gibson, please, up.
	12:27pm doctorjazz: UM, I just spoke to my daughter, she's coming to our house next week for Thanskgiving, maybe I'll do a promo and she'll sing the theme...
	12:27pm johnk77: mesa boogie?
	12:27pm Dean: Orange?
	12:28pm Listening Out There: Lord Sitar knows...
	12:29pm johnk77: possibly the live gig was 1972
	🛒 12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My Reality Check bounced.
	12:29pm Dean: Crystal Gayle, "When I Dream."
	12:33pm johnk77: first time i saw the kinks live case western reserve 1972 in support taj mahal & lindisfarne nice work selecter
	12:34pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Sibling covers? That is an interesting subject I've never considered!
	12:34pm Dean: "Take This Job and Shove It"
	12:35pm Marie: Here and thoroughly enjoying. Hi UM, hi everybody--Happy Friday! (Love the concept @))
	12:36pm Dean: Bowie, "Heroes"
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:39pm efd: Hell yeah Richard Lloyd! I feel like this is such an underrated album.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: It's a great record. It's one that not-lazy me would play from the LP...but alas.
	🛒 12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: into your arms into your arms I can go
	12:42pm Dean: We played Alchemy a lot in the record store when it arrived. Most of the crew dug it.
	12:43pm doctorjazz: I believe Richard Lloyd was just in the NY area in a concert appearance
	12:43pm doctorjazz: Love this Eno!
	12:44pm Pedro in Arlington: Hardly the Taylor Swift problem. I simply forgot to get a ticket for Charley Crockett tonight in our nation's capital. They were plentiful until they weren't. Anyone know a guy who knows a guy?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! I probably know the wrong guy.
	12:46pm Marie: Eno's St. Elmo's fire (Blue August Moon in my mind) kept going through my head for about 2 weeks lately--what a great song, kind of majestic
	12:46pm Dean: I scored a bunch of Taylor Swift tickets. Maybe somebody with a Crockett ticket will want to swap?
	12:46pm Rich in Washington: those first two Eno albums...
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	12:47pm Marie: @Rich--yeah, totally magical
	12:47pm doctorjazz: What Rich said!
	12:47pm rw: Good morning! Every time I hear early Eno I can’t believe how good it is. Every time. Even after all these years.
	12:48pm Rich in Washington: Hi Uncle Michael! Hi everyone in Hinkyland!
	12:48pm rw: And every time I hear this fade out I wish I had sprung the extra dollar for the import version with the locked groove at the end.
	12:48pm Webhamster Henry: Stan Freberg pretending to be the Great Pretender
	12:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Stan Freberg! Love this one.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	12:49pm Dean: Damn, Ned Rorem has died, 99.
	12:49pm Webhamster Henry: Of course the Great Pretender to play in this set is John Oswald's.
	12:49pm johnk77: richard lloyd dropped out of stuy hs then his parents moved to nj and made him re-take 12th grade!
	12:49pm dan: @Dean Never understood what the big deal with Taylor Swift was. She's mediocre, but she has many #1 hits and multiple Grammy wins. That's Whitney Houston territory and Taylor is nowhere near that good.
	12:50pm Webhamster Henry: @dan if there are contests, someone has to win them.
	12:51pm dan: @Henry There are so many better singers out there.
	12:52pm Dean: I have two or three TS albums, and I enjoy them judiciously. I loved the "Wanna Dance with Somebody" 12" back in '87 or so, but WH's cover of Dolly's "I Will Always Love You" is just dreadful.
	12:53pm dan: @Dean Can never tire of Whitney's version of "I Will Always Love You". Probably the greatest female solo recording of the 1990s.
	12:54pm Listening Out There: Outstanding marimba on the Red Norvo...
	12:54pm Webhamster Henry: @dan contests are about the people running the contest.
	12:54pm doctorjazz: Aretha!
	12:55pm Dean: Well, there you are. What can I say? From the Rorem obit: "Soon he had met dozens of the great and glamorous figures of the day: Picasso, Dalí and Man Ray; Jean Cocteau; the composers Francis Poulenc and Darius Milhaud; Alice B. Toklas and Zsa Zsa Gabor."
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: LOT!
	12:56pm johnk77: quiet storm
	12:56pm dan: @Henry Well they're tone-deaf if they think Taylor Swift is the best. They got it right with Whitney in the 80s and 90s.
	12:57pm unpopularfred: @ Webhamster Henry: well said
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: The idea that one matter of taste is right and another is wrong goes right past me.
	12:58pm Spinning Giant: wow this is a fantastic version UM...
	12:58pm Marie: Re: Taylor--I think it also her personal story, which I know only vaguely about (I swear)
	12:59pm dan: One of my predictions coming to fruition
	12:59pm johnk77: ned rorem ny times obit https://tinyurl.com/5n8xh3ez
	1:00pm doctorjazz: I got some of the Time Life music sets-awful sound quality, but some interesting compilations! I learned a ton in my early jazz explorations from the Giants of Jazz series (which I still have in my basement somewhere).
	1:01pm Dean: Taylor Swift is a complete package: writer, performer, personality. Her independent persona feeds the charisma. The records are over-produced, sure, but certainly the same goes for Whitney. That, in fact, is what I love about "Wanna Dance." But for the Dolly song, by my lights Dolly herself and Linda Ronstadt take the prize.
	1:01pm doctorjazz: (Have that Atlantic Rhythm and Blues series as well...)
	1:06pm Pedro in Arlington: @Dan Somebody has to be Taylor Swift and this one is very good at it. The songs are catchy, she's willing to use that huge popularity against the likes of a Marsha Blackburn, the business moves are prescient and she's brought a big chunk of her fan base from elementary school into post-grad life. Saw TayTay 10 years ago with my 10-year-old. Fun and memorable. My daughter saw the Donnas open for the Hives when she was 5. Good to let them know there's a big world of entertainment to explore.
	1:08pm Listening Out There: ...yass, yass...
	1:09pm dan: @Pedro It's fine that there are people that enjoy her music, I'm not one of them.
	1:10pm Marie: A lot of Taylor's fans have grown up with her. I think they really identify with her
	1:14pm egould: Now You Pretend by Goon Sax I’m a Pretender by The Exploding Hearts Mimi Pretend by Ulrika Spacek
	1:16pm efd: OHHH, it's all songs about pretending/dreaming/etc.! Only took 75 minutes for that to sink in.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: more coffee, Evan...
	1:20pm doctorjazz: Jackson Browne The Pretender has to be on the list
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Merle to Stephen is what it's all about.
	1:20pm rf: I brought this album home from college and when this song came on my dad made me turn it off because it was "pornographic"
	🛒 1:21pm Phillippe: Can't less this song pass without a clicky star
	1:21pm efd: I guess I'm only pretending to be listening
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: rf! dad was right.
	1:23pm Roberto: L7? Too obvi?
	1:25pm adamdoesit: Hi UM, hinks and dinks! Fred Rogers 4eva.
	1:25pm Listening Out There: Honeycombs produced by the ever-interesting Joe Meek...
	1:25pm TDK60: That fab yet odd Meekness?
	1:25pm dan: Next song will be Gerry and the Pacemakers' "Pretend"
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not sure if TheDudes were evoking the Everlys, Turtles or Brummels. Or - yerknow - not.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: didn't think of it, Roberto
	🛒 1:28pm Phillippe: All My Dreams by The Pretenders would be kinda meta...
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Now, help me find the remote...
	1:30pm Roberto: Crampin' styles is the plan, UM.
	🛒 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'I'm tryin' to find myself.' ...'Have you looked behind the couch?'
	1:34pm Marie: "Gaiety"--another word you don't hear too much these days
	🛒 1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Steph*In Merritt
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Rev, with my sleeping bag?
	1:40pm Listening Out There: Bunnies = Programmatic subtheme #2...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the pronunciation, Rev.
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not actually - just correcting my spelling.
	1:49pm Dean: OT: Orange County Register is reporting, "Wienerschnitzel is looking at remodeling its nostalgic A-frames."
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Der?
	1:50pm adamdoesit: Rev, I misread that as Step-f*ck-in Merritt. Or maybe I didn't misread it.
	1:50pm TDK60: Groovy, was wonderin' if this Searchers would be played. Great rhythm guitar!
	1:51pm Dean: Ja.
	🛒 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As an exclamation of his songwriting powers ...sure.
	1:52pm Listener Robert: Got "When We Pretend That We're Dead"?
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: Robert!
	1:53pm Listener Robert: Whe we pretend that we're Robert? That's not how I remembered it, but....
	1:59pm StringOFperils: The Russell with shoulder pads period.
	2:00pm Marie: This sounds very Prince-y to me
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Marie...I think you're delerious.
	🛒 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More like pretending not to be drunk amiright.
	2:04pm efd: I've heard Gordon "gay-no" but can't say for sure that's correct
	2:05pm Listener Robert: I pretended to be drunk at a party with some friends who thought they were getting me drunk with mead, just to play along with the gag. That's if you don't count when I played The Drunk in the 2nd Form (8th grade) play "The Best Life", written by an upperclassman. He enlarged the part when he saw how good I was playing a drunk.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Because you were really drunk?
	2:06pm Marie: @UM--HA!
	2:08pm dan: Marge, remember when I took that home winemaking course and I forgot how to drive? THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WERE DRUNK And how.
	2:11pm Listener Robert: For the play? Honestly, I hadn't touched a drop! But felicity followed upon inspiration in so many ways. My zipper broke accidentally that morning, and Mother and the playwright both thought a safety pin closing my pants was perfect. I put on a certain laugh that I'd previously done for real at lunch with the star of the show. Somebody got the idea in makeup to give me a red nose, though it was subtle. That play anticipated the great surprise in "Saw". I won't spoil.
	2:13pm adamdoesit: Got to sign off before I get too pretend-drunk. Looking forward to a run of mellow Fridays to come. Thanks, UM. See you all soon.
	2:14pm Listening Out There: Terrific voice, Keely Smith has...
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: see ya, adam!
	2:15pm dan: The first time I ever heard of The Doodletown Pipers was on The Simpsons, and I thought they made it up.
	2:16pm doctorjazz: Dodletown Pipers-now THAT'S what I call "no such thing as guilty pleasures"...
	2:17pm StringOFperils: That's it, I'm voting for Barry Goldwater
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: In your heart you know he's right.
	2:18pm dan: @StringOFperils 3rd Simpsons reference in a few minutes. "Go ahead, throw your vote away."
	2:18pm doctorjazz: as RIGHT as they get!
	2:18pm StringOFperils: Stop that, dan.
	2:18pm Dean: I sure wish Meshuggah had a song about pretending. Or High on Fire.
	2:19pm doctorjazz: i hear bits of Black and Blue in this Imagination
	2:19pm TDK60: Never heard of Queen Valaida before.
	2:20pm burke: If I were a believe in daydreams what would that make me?
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: burke! John Stewart?
	2:21pm Dean: Hey, Mentors have a song called "Sexual Fantasies." Does that count?
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Valaida Snow
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Willie twofer.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Trigger sounding good.
	2:28pm StringOFperils: Has anyone done a show entirely devoted to the recordings of Willie Nelson, on WFMU? Anyone know? Scads of stuff I've never heard.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: Well, I probably sadly will one day.
	2:29pm StringOFperils: It'll be smokin'
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I could do an October songwriter tribute very easily.
	2:34pm burke: I saw Wanda only a few years ago. Still touring I think...maybe
	2:35pm StringOFperils: I saw her in the 80s at The Horseshoe Tavern. She was tons of fun. What a cool person.
	🛒 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanda making me think of Marianne Faithful there. Then not. A touch of Patsy...
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Let's Pretend that I checked in much earlier. Howdy all. Fanciful show there, UM!
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: All that fancy paints as fair, Kevin.
	2:39pm dan: Petula Clark just turned 90 this week.
	🛒 2:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or fancy pants & flairs if you don't read carefully...
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: That was Robert Hunter's first draft, Rev.
	🛒 2:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn but Lulu.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Lulu needs more attention.
	2:42pm dan: Sing it Walden.
	2:42pm Webhamster Henry: Kind of a restrained Bobby Darin.
	2:42pm burke: I love Lulu's raspiness
	2:43pm StringOFperils: 1966 cover. Must've been some welcome royalty income for a scuffling songwriter, just starting to make it.
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I did not in fact guess who ...but it made me realize how much DC5 & the Raiders are similar...
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: The Guess Who's became The Guess Who.
	2:49pm Dean: Is that a question?
	2:49pm StringOFperils: I was wondering...just looked up A Wild Pair, to remind me when that was..
	2:50pm StringOFperils: Hah, wow! The contact address for Hallmark Studios, Toronto, re. above compilation, is about a block from where I am. Weird. Have to go for a walk later to look at....a house?
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Bit of Fats Waller in this singer
	2:53pm AS from MP: Happy Thanksgiving, Uncle Michael. Hear you in December
	2:53pm doctorjazz: (without the irony)
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, AS from MP.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Nearly the end, I'll Pretend it goes on longer. Thanks UM!
	2:55pm spodiodi: great show. thanks, UM!
	2:56pm TDK60: Gracias. See ya soon, DJ UM.
	2:56pm dan: Great game of pretend UM.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone. See you on 12/2
	🛒 2:57pm Phillippe: Thanks UM! Have a great holiday!
	2:57pm StringOFperils: Here comes the pre-ender. Thanks, UM!!
	2:57pm Jan Turkenburg: wonderful show, thanks UM!
	2:57pm burke: Till then! Thanks
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	2:59pm Dean: Absolutely Inexplicable Apostrophe, The Guess Who's first album.
	3:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Great show! Thanks, UM. Hope you and everyone has a wonderful holiday!
	3:02pm Listening Out There: Thx!
	🛒 3:02pm KevinfromBayRidge: Nice one, Unc. Yes you are family!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 18, 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.

	12:04pm egould: Hi Uncle Michael. Hi listeners.
	12:04pm dan: I always said that the ideal President of the United States should have the compassion of Mr. Rogers, but the no-nonsense demeanor of Judge Judy.
	🛒 12:04pm Brian in UK: Uncle. Is the twitch not working?
	12:04pm dougseidel: Already a great show

	12:08pm Spinning Giant: docjazz - that is just fantastic! every time my progeny starts singing one of the Woof-Moo themes, i grin from ear-to-ear now indoctrinating them with their own swag (Tees) to spread the word further afield up here north of the 49th :D)))
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Really, Kim? I somehow missed the memo!
	12:08pm spodiodi: good morning, UM! good morning, Hinky Dinky Time shoppers
	12:08pm Roberto: Twitch back online. Lucas, you know what to do.
	12:08pm dan: Rolling Stone magazine never included Eric Carmen on their great vocalists list. That is a travesty.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Twitch is up.
	12:09pm KimSorise: Yes - UM. I signed up weeks ago. Pulling my favorite Paul Williams and Al Stewart for the occasion :)
	12:09pm chresti: *That was for raspberry the fruit
	12:10pm bradford: Hiya UM, hiya everyone!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Then a much belated THANK YOU, Kim!
	12:11pm doctorjazz: @Spinning Giant-my younger daughter "liberated" one of my Woof Moo Fleece jackets-she gets into conversations with WFMU fans in the world (she doesn't listen on her own-music listening these days is strictly Spotify lists, but she's now back at home, and is "forced' to listen quite a bit). She even liked the "out" Holloween sounds on DO Radio recently...
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Doc, please record her singing it. That's amazing.
	12:11pm dan: Possible predictions: John Lennon: "Imagine" Temptations: "Just My Imagination" Olivia Newton-John: "Magic"
	12:11pm chresti: How are you UM? How's the pain management going?
	12:12pm TDK60: Youth need to be sent to radio re-education camp. ... Maybe not.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: bradford!
	12:12pm chresti: Yay Kim!
	12:13pm dan: Moody Blues: Land of Make Believe?
	12:13pm StringOFperils: Ooh, I like that shot! The library.
	12:13pm johnk77: raspberries just another band from north-east ohio
	12:13pm Roberto: I don't like that shot. NO LUCAS :(
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: chresti, I've plateaued. I have bad twinges and I can't pedal a bicycle. I have a consult with another ortho scheduled. Thanks for asking.
	12:14pm dan: @Johnk77 Correction: The best band from NE Ohio
	12:14pm StringOFperils: No cats will be seen before their time.__Orson Welles
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: john!
	🛒 12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Where da kat @ ??
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Rev!
	12:15pm johnk77: it's cold outside was a hit in that market
	🛒 12:15pm Brian in UK: Uncle, how do you get into that room? A firemans pole.
	12:15pm egould: Can’t Believe by fIREHOSE
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: BiUK, I walk in!
	12:16pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Uncle Michael! I'm not faking it - still testing postive a little.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Henry! Try and be more negative.
	12:17pm efd: I have this on a 45! A longtime favorite.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: efd!
	12:17pm Dean: "There's No Business Like Show Business"?
	12:17pm Webhamster Henry: I miss albums like Bookends. "Some days I can't get up the mucus"
	12:17pm dan: Disappointed, tonight I was supposed to see Dom Irerra perform at Governor's Comedy Club in Levittown, but he cancelled only 2 days ago. It was my gift to my dad for his 70th birthday in August. Hopefully, something else will come up.
	🛒 12:18pm Alvy Singer: Amateur Hour by Sparks. Hi Uncle Michael.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Alvy!
	12:19pm KimSorise: Hey Chresti!
	12:19pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Loving this set, UM!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	12:20pm johnk77: instead of your mind's eye your mind's ear?
	12:20pm Dean: "The Great Pretender." "The Pretender." "Love Me Tender." Strike that last one.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: That was a predictive fender bender.
	12:22pm Dean: Fender? I marshaled all my wit.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Best faux Kinks ever?
	12:22pm doctorjazz: UM, might be a physical therapy issue. Had back back issues (spinal stenosis), couldn't walk 10 steps without stopping in pain. Did 12 weeks PT, wasn't better, but kept it up-after about 6-8 months gots relief, sometimes you have to stick with it.
	12:23pm Dean: Do not try saying "faux Kinks" three times real fast.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Doc, the place I'm going next has a great PT program. Thanks.
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YES ! Great Tomorrow song that is not White Bicycle. Conspicuously lysergic @ that.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: YES?
	12:25pm Dean: One can draw a line from Howe's work in that Tomorrow tune straight to "Starship Trooper."
	12:25pm dan: Steve Howe is still going strong, albeit with a hollowed shell of a version of Yes. Bring back Jon Anderson, at least for one last tour.
	12:26pm johnk77: the kinks were quite popular and played out in ne ohio late 1960s
	🛒 12:27pm PAULS: I'll have a Gibson, please, up.
	12:27pm doctorjazz: UM, I just spoke to my daughter, she's coming to our house next week for Thanskgiving, maybe I'll do a promo and she'll sing the theme...
	12:27pm johnk77: mesa boogie?
	12:27pm Dean: Orange?
	12:28pm Listening Out There: Lord Sitar knows...
	12:29pm johnk77: possibly the live gig was 1972
	🛒 12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My Reality Check bounced.
	12:29pm Dean: Crystal Gayle, "When I Dream."
	12:33pm johnk77: first time i saw the kinks live case western reserve 1972 in support taj mahal & lindisfarne nice work selecter
	12:34pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Sibling covers? That is an interesting subject I've never considered!
	12:34pm Dean: "Take This Job and Shove It"
	12:35pm Marie: Here and thoroughly enjoying. Hi UM, hi everybody--Happy Friday! (Love the concept @))
	12:36pm Dean: Bowie, "Heroes"
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:39pm efd: Hell yeah Richard Lloyd! I feel like this is such an underrated album.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: It's a great record. It's one that not-lazy me would play from the LP...but alas.
	🛒 12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: into your arms into your arms I can go
	12:42pm Dean: We played Alchemy a lot in the record store when it arrived. Most of the crew dug it.
	12:43pm doctorjazz: I believe Richard Lloyd was just in the NY area in a concert appearance
	12:43pm doctorjazz: Love this Eno!
	12:44pm Pedro in Arlington: Hardly the Taylor Swift problem. I simply forgot to get a ticket for Charley Crockett tonight in our nation's capital. They were plentiful until they weren't. Anyone know a guy who knows a guy?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! I probably know the wrong guy.
	12:46pm Marie: Eno's St. Elmo's fire (Blue August Moon in my mind) kept going through my head for about 2 weeks lately--what a great song, kind of majestic
	12:46pm Dean: I scored a bunch of Taylor Swift tickets. Maybe somebody with a Crockett ticket will want to swap?
	12:46pm Rich in Washington: those first two Eno albums...
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	12:47pm Marie: @Rich--yeah, totally magical
	12:47pm doctorjazz: What Rich said!
	12:47pm rw: Good morning! Every time I hear early Eno I can’t believe how good it is. Every time. Even after all these years.
	12:48pm Rich in Washington: Hi Uncle Michael! Hi everyone in Hinkyland!
	12:48pm rw: And every time I hear this fade out I wish I had sprung the extra dollar for the import version with the locked groove at the end.
	12:48pm Webhamster Henry: Stan Freberg pretending to be the Great Pretender
	12:48pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Stan Freberg! Love this one.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	12:49pm Dean: Damn, Ned Rorem has died, 99.
	12:49pm Webhamster Henry: Of course the Great Pretender to play in this set is John Oswald's.
	12:49pm johnk77: richard lloyd dropped out of stuy hs then his parents moved to nj and made him re-take 12th grade!
	12:49pm dan: @Dean Never understood what the big deal with Taylor Swift was. She's mediocre, but she has many #1 hits and multiple Grammy wins. That's Whitney Houston territory and Taylor is nowhere near that good.
	12:50pm Webhamster Henry: @dan if there are contests, someone has to win them.
	12:51pm dan: @Henry There are so many better singers out there.
	12:52pm Dean: I have two or three TS albums, and I enjoy them judiciously. I loved the "Wanna Dance with Somebody" 12" back in '87 or so, but WH's cover of Dolly's "I Will Always Love You" is just dreadful.
	12:53pm dan: @Dean Can never tire of Whitney's version of "I Will Always Love You". Probably the greatest female solo recording of the 1990s.
	12:54pm Listening Out There: Outstanding marimba on the Red Norvo...
	12:54pm Webhamster Henry: @dan contests are about the people running the contest.
	12:54pm doctorjazz: Aretha!
	12:55pm Dean: Well, there you are. What can I say? From the Rorem obit: "Soon he had met dozens of the great and glamorous figures of the day: Picasso, Dalí and Man Ray; Jean Cocteau; the composers Francis Poulenc and Darius Milhaud; Alice B. Toklas and Zsa Zsa Gabor."
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: LOT!
	12:56pm johnk77: quiet storm
	12:56pm dan: @Henry Well they're tone-deaf if they think Taylor Swift is the best. They got it right with Whitney in the 80s and 90s.
	12:57pm unpopularfred: @ Webhamster Henry: well said
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: The idea that one matter of taste is right and another is wrong goes right past me.
	12:58pm Spinning Giant: wow this is a fantastic version UM...
	12:58pm Marie: Re: Taylor--I think it also her personal story, which I know only vaguely about (I swear)
	12:59pm dan: One of my predictions coming to fruition
	12:59pm johnk77: ned rorem ny times obit https://tinyurl.com/5n8xh3ez
	1:00pm doctorjazz: I got some of the Time Life music sets-awful sound quality, but some interesting compilations! I learned a ton in my early jazz explorations from the Giants of Jazz series (which I still have in my basement somewhere).
	1:01pm Dean: Taylor Swift is a complete package: writer, performer, personality. Her independent persona feeds the charisma. The records are over-produced, sure, but certainly the same goes for Whitney. That, in fact, is what I love about "Wanna Dance." But for the Dolly song, by my lights Dolly herself and Linda Ronstadt take the prize.
	1:01pm doctorjazz: (Have that Atlantic Rhythm and Blues series as well...)
	1:06pm Pedro in Arlington: @Dan Somebody has to be Taylor Swift and this one is very good at it. The songs are catchy, she's willing to use that huge popularity against the likes of a Marsha Blackburn, the business moves are prescient and she's brought a big chunk of her fan base from elementary school into post-grad life. Saw TayTay 10 years ago with my 10-year-old. Fun and memorable. My daughter saw the Donnas open for the Hives when she was 5. Good to let them know there's a big world of entertainment to explore.
	1:08pm Listening Out There: ...yass, yass...
	1:09pm dan: @Pedro It's fine that there are people that enjoy her music, I'm not one of them.
	1:10pm Marie: A lot of Taylor's fans have grown up with her. I think they really identify with her
	1:14pm egould: Now You Pretend by Goon Sax I’m a Pretender by The Exploding Hearts Mimi Pretend by Ulrika Spacek
	1:16pm efd: OHHH, it's all songs about pretending/dreaming/etc.! Only took 75 minutes for that to sink in.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: more coffee, Evan...
	1:20pm doctorjazz: Jackson Browne The Pretender has to be on the list
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Merle to Stephen is what it's all about.
	1:20pm rf: I brought this album home from college and when this song came on my dad made me turn it off because it was "pornographic"
	🛒 1:21pm Phillippe: Can't less this song pass without a clicky star
	1:21pm efd: I guess I'm only pretending to be listening
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: rf! dad was right.
	1:23pm Roberto: L7? Too obvi?
	1:25pm adamdoesit: Hi UM, hinks and dinks! Fred Rogers 4eva.
	1:25pm Listening Out There: Honeycombs produced by the ever-interesting Joe Meek...
	1:25pm TDK60: That fab yet odd Meekness?
	1:25pm dan: Next song will be Gerry and the Pacemakers' "Pretend"
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not sure if TheDudes were evoking the Everlys, Turtles or Brummels. Or - yerknow - not.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: didn't think of it, Roberto
	🛒 1:28pm Phillippe: All My Dreams by The Pretenders would be kinda meta...
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Now, help me find the remote...
	1:30pm Roberto: Crampin' styles is the plan, UM.
	🛒 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'I'm tryin' to find myself.' ...'Have you looked behind the couch?'
	1:34pm Marie: "Gaiety"--another word you don't hear too much these days
	🛒 1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Steph*In Merritt
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Rev, with my sleeping bag?
	1:40pm Listening Out There: Bunnies = Programmatic subtheme #2...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the pronunciation, Rev.
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not actually - just correcting my spelling.
	1:49pm Dean: OT: Orange County Register is reporting, "Wienerschnitzel is looking at remodeling its nostalgic A-frames."
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Der?
	1:50pm adamdoesit: Rev, I misread that as Step-f*ck-in Merritt. Or maybe I didn't misread it.
	1:50pm TDK60: Groovy, was wonderin' if this Searchers would be played. Great rhythm guitar!
	1:51pm Dean: Ja.
	🛒 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As an exclamation of his songwriting powers ...sure.
	1:52pm Listener Robert: Got "When We Pretend That We're Dead"?
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: Robert!
	1:53pm Listener Robert: Whe we pretend that we're Robert? That's not how I remembered it, but....
	1:59pm StringOFperils: The Russell with shoulder pads period.
	2:00pm Marie: This sounds very Prince-y to me
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Marie...I think you're delerious.
	🛒 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More like pretending not to be drunk amiright.
	2:04pm efd: I've heard Gordon "gay-no" but can't say for sure that's correct
	2:05pm Listener Robert: I pretended to be drunk at a party with some friends who thought they were getting me drunk with mead, just to play along with the gag. That's if you don't count when I played The Drunk in the 2nd Form (8th grade) play "The Best Life", written by an upperclassman. He enlarged the part when he saw how good I was playing a drunk.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Because you were really drunk?
	2:06pm Marie: @UM--HA!
	2:08pm dan: Marge, remember when I took that home winemaking course and I forgot how to drive? THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WERE DRUNK And how.
	2:11pm Listener Robert: For the play? Honestly, I hadn't touched a drop! But felicity followed upon inspiration in so many ways. My zipper broke accidentally that morning, and Mother and the playwright both thought a safety pin closing my pants was perfect. I put on a certain laugh that I'd previously done for real at lunch with the star of the show. Somebody got the idea in makeup to give me a red nose, though it was subtle. That play anticipated the great surprise in "Saw". I won't spoil.
	2:13pm adamdoesit: Got to sign off before I get too pretend-drunk. Looking forward to a run of mellow Fridays to come. Thanks, UM. See you all soon.
	2:14pm Listening Out There: Terrific voice, Keely Smith has...
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: see ya, adam!
	2:15pm dan: The first time I ever heard of The Doodletown Pipers was on The Simpsons, and I thought they made it up.
	2:16pm doctorjazz: Dodletown Pipers-now THAT'S what I call "no such thing as guilty pleasures"...
	2:17pm StringOFperils: That's it, I'm voting for Barry Goldwater
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: In your heart you know he's right.
	2:18pm dan: @StringOFperils 3rd Simpsons reference in a few minutes. "Go ahead, throw your vote away."
	2:18pm doctorjazz: as RIGHT as they get!
	2:18pm StringOFperils: Stop that, dan.
	2:18pm Dean: I sure wish Meshuggah had a song about pretending. Or High on Fire.
	2:19pm doctorjazz: i hear bits of Black and Blue in this Imagination
	2:19pm TDK60: Never heard of Queen Valaida before.
	2:20pm burke: If I were a believe in daydreams what would that make me?
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: burke! John Stewart?
	2:21pm Dean: Hey, Mentors have a song called "Sexual Fantasies." Does that count?
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Valaida Snow
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Willie twofer.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Trigger sounding good.
	2:28pm StringOFperils: Has anyone done a show entirely devoted to the recordings of Willie Nelson, on WFMU? Anyone know? Scads of stuff I've never heard.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: Well, I probably sadly will one day.
	2:29pm StringOFperils: It'll be smokin'
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I could do an October songwriter tribute very easily.
	2:34pm burke: I saw Wanda only a few years ago. Still touring I think...maybe
	2:35pm StringOFperils: I saw her in the 80s at The Horseshoe Tavern. She was tons of fun. What a cool person.
	🛒 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wanda making me think of Marianne Faithful there. Then not. A touch of Patsy...
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Let's Pretend that I checked in much earlier. Howdy all. Fanciful show there, UM!
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: All that fancy paints as fair, Kevin.
	2:39pm dan: Petula Clark just turned 90 this week.
	🛒 2:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or fancy pants & flairs if you don't read carefully...
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: That was Robert Hunter's first draft, Rev.
	🛒 2:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Damn but Lulu.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Lulu needs more attention.
	2:42pm dan: Sing it Walden.
	2:42pm Webhamster Henry: Kind of a restrained Bobby Darin.
	2:42pm burke: I love Lulu's raspiness
	2:43pm StringOFperils: 1966 cover. Must've been some welcome royalty income for a scuffling songwriter, just starting to make it.
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I did not in fact guess who ...but it made me realize how much DC5 & the Raiders are similar...
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: The Guess Who's became The Guess Who.
	2:49pm Dean: Is that a question?
	2:49pm StringOFperils: I was wondering...just looked up A Wild Pair, to remind me when that was..
	2:50pm StringOFperils: Hah, wow! The contact address for Hallmark Studios, Toronto, re. above compilation, is about a block from where I am. Weird. Have to go for a walk later to look at....a house?
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Bit of Fats Waller in this singer
	2:53pm AS from MP: Happy Thanksgiving, Uncle Michael. Hear you in December
