WFMU: Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 6, 2017

Listener comments!
	1/4 8:52pm Uncle Michael: Post a request. I'll play it. My present to all of you.
	8:00am Funky16Corners: Snow by Nilsson (or Claudine Longet)??
	8:02am Lizardner Dave: How about you break the rarely broken Rush barrier on WFMU? YYZ maybe?
	8:05am doctorjazz: How about a really cheery tune, "Withered and Died" by Richard and Linda Thompson? (can we make more than 1 request?)
	8:06am mauri: Roberto Paiva - Mulher, sempre mulher . From Orfeu da Conceicao. Some sunny bossa for the cold winters day.
	8:13am mike s.: Hey UM - longtime listener here. Do you think you could play "Baby Won't Ya" by the MC5? If not, any MC5 cut will do.
	8:17am doctorjazz: Do Ya by ELO would be another (if more than one are allowed...probably not a great idea, I may fill up the thread...) Romance without Finance-Charlie Parker (I'll stop for now)
	8:20am Spaceman One: Ramones, Durango 95
	8:29am Scraps: I'll request a few, because I don't know which ones you have; I know I only get one request played, if that! So, in order of preference: "The God Sheila" by Nervus Rex "Touch" by Lori and the Chameleons "The Shape of Things to Come" by the Headboys "Following Through" by the Dismemberment Plan
	8:36am Ken: Warm leatherette. Original 45 by some Brit band whose name I forget. Spill the wine, take this girl.
	8:40am hyde: how about Whispering Pines by The Band?
	8:42am doctorjazz: 1+ on The Band song.
	8:46am doctorjazz: Any Live Dead with a good mess up by Weir or Garcia (or both), love catching that stuff...
	8:48am doctorjazz: How about Eric Anderson's "Blue River" (I have too much time on my hands, snow here slowing up the office).
	8:50am hyde: @doctorjazz maybe he can play the Band song back to back with your Richard and Linda Thompson song for a super fun twofer!
	8:50am Uncle Michael: I'll get to people's second+ requests if I don't have enough first requests.
	8:53am doctorjazz: @Hyde-I'll get the box of tissues ready if he does.
	8:53am Scraps: More (more!): Peter Blegvad, "Real Slap in the Face" Golden Palominos, "Something Else Is Working Harder" Game Theory, "Regenisraen" Loud Family, "Jimmy Still Comes Around"
	8:54am Scraps: ;-)
	8:56am Scraps: My requesting hands need to be tied down.
	8:56am Uncle Michael: Clamp your hands and stab your feet!
	8:57am Scraps: Ken, "Warm Leatherette" was by The Normal. Grace Jones did an amazing cover, too.
	9:02am doctorjazz: How about Frenchette, David Johansen?
	9:08am listener james from westwood: Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, "Don't Leave Me This Way" or the Detroit Emeralds, "Feel the Need in Me"—whichever ya got. Thanks!
	🛒 9:11am Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. "Alone Again Or" by Love from Forever Changes Thanks.
	9:14am listener james from westwood: ^^^^^^^ Hell yes to Love.
	9:32am annie: Fe fe fe by otis redding(?)
	9:36am doctorjazz: Fafafa, and yeah yeah yeah!!!
	9:42am Jeff Golick: I am in lurv with this idea. I'd actually like to hear some Supertramp. Maybe also something from PiL's Album/Cassette/CD - "Bags" or "FFF" And a song I've had in my head since I heard it (and sang along to it) a few das ago in the aisles of my local Key Food supermarket, "Don't Pull Your Love."
	9:45am Ramblin' Ray: Maajun by Davy Graham
	9:58am Uncle Michael: moar
	10:00am V Priceless: Happy New Year, Uncle M! Here's a few suggestions (I scaled it back!) - whatever you can grab first works for me! 10cc: Iceberg; The Association: Barefoot Gentleman; The Brooklyn Bridge: Minstrel Sunday; Procol Harum: Fires (Which Burnt Brightly); The Move: Walk Upon The Water; Kinks: Drivin'; Alice Cooper: Still No Air; Stranglers: Curfew
	10:06am Jeff Golick: Aretha deep cuts always appreciated.
	10:21am mike s.: Speaking of Otis Redding it would be great to hear Nobody's fault but Mine or the killer live version of I Can't Turn You Loose from the Live In Europe album. Of course those would be second requests only.
	10:31am burke: "Loving You Is On My Mind" The Meters. Happy Friday.
	10:33am doctorjazz: How about On the Dark Side Of The Street (James Carr)?
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Doug says the show is almost full...but that's with multiple requests from folks. I only have 1st requests from 16 people. 1st requests will bump multiples...so if you haven't posted a request...DO.
	10:46am chromaphone: Some obscure steel guitar track that I have never heard. I'll only be able to listen til 2:30 or so though :(
	10:46am βrian: Anything by Bill Withers.
	10:48am βrian: Ooh, gots any slack-key guitar?
	10:49am chromaphone: How about something by Tommy Chong that wasn't done with Cheech. Did he record any music outside of C&C?
	10:50am Parq: Requesting "Miss Shapiro/You Really Got Me" from 801 Live. If that's too long, then "Third Uncle" from the same album.
	10:51am annie: @ βrian@ yes!!! and also "Sir Duke"
	10:56am Scraps: Many great tracks by Bill Withers almost never get played because his famous stuff knocked out the less famous. Like "Better Off Dead", and the awesomely awesome "Use Me".
	11:04am V Priceless: nice one @ Parq
	🛒 11:54am Brian in UK: Uncle as a second choice The Flaming Lips opening track from Hit to Death "Talkin' 'Bout the Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants to Live Forever)"
	11:59am Scraps: My basic phone ring is the Flaming Lips "Free Radicals". Several times a day, it broadcasts Weird at me
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: I request that you play whatever you wanna!
	12:02pm Webhamster Henry: Hey Request takin' Uncle Michael ... how about playing the whole Hinky Dinky Super Mart commecial jingle?
	12:03pm βrian: Krakatoa go boom!
	12:03pm annie: hunkering in for the request show!
	12:03pm Parq: < obligatory "east of Java" reference >
	12:03pm Scraps: Awesome leadoff
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: Very excited!!
	12:04pm Scraps: me too!
	12:04pm hyde: yay!
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: Hi everyone. Thanks for sharing your ages at the previous show!
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: A+ Rush pick!
	12:06pm Scraps: I specifically made sure that I got plenty of time to wake and settle down on my computer. Yes!
	12:06pm Webhamster Henry: @chromophone and Cheech did a really funny kid's record where he's a school bus driver - we had the Spanish version. It's very lively and well produced!
	12:07pm Alex In Illinois: The reason I am wondering is because I still find listener-supported-radio, including web-streams, to be my favorite medium. Meanwhile, it seems that college radio is not considered as big a deal as it was when I was in college.
	12:07pm still b/p: I hafta leave to do a thing soon....but I'll request -- timmy thomas: why can't we live together (If slowwww mood works) John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman: They Say it's Wonderful Duke Ellington: Caravan
	12:07pm Doug Schulkind: Remember to pronounce it Peert, not Pert, Uncle Michael.
	12:07pm Artie Haywire: Oh boy.
	12:07pm Lewis: The Last Place they would look by BoxMasters
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: This is already a fun thing...but next time, it will be a twice-as-much-fun thing. Next time, you won't be able to see each others requests before you hear them.
	12:08pm Lizardner Dave: Well that's it, Freedman just fainted.
	12:08pm Scraps: I'm eh on Rush -- no hate, no love -- but this one I always interested in
	12:09pm chromaphone: wow, awesome Webmaster. Thanks for the tip. I think the guitar in Earache My Eye is pretty sweet so makes me wonder what else he has done along those lines, if anything. @UncleM: good idea.
	12:09pm Artie Haywire: Always forget about the little "Scheherazade" section.
	12:09pm Stevel: Anyone suggested any Klattu? Just suggesting.
	12:09pm Alex In Illinois: .. excuse me, I mean when WE were college-aged.
	12:09pm still b/p: Someone I know says hearing the Rush drummer awakened him and I think incited him to take up drumming.
	12:10pm Scraps: @Uncle Michael: I like that adjustment in the rules!
	12:11pm βrian: @Alex: I still listen to WCBN a fair bit.
	12:11pm Little Danny: Jerry Garcia's "The Wheel"!!!!
	12:11pm Scraps: Caravan, oh yeah. It's hard to screw that up
	🛒 12:12pm Brian in UK: Scraps Tilbury Kecks?
	12:13pm Little Danny: Hearing Rush on FMU has gotta be one of the funniest moments of 2017
	12:14pm Scraps: Elvis Costello covered "Withered and Died". (Kinda a cliche for his to it, eh?) He also covered " The End of the Rainbow"
	12:14pm Alex In Illinois: At first I liked Rush, before punk/wave/ska/newromantic/postpunk came along, and I fell into that "more wave-than-thou" faze. I remember not showing that I was impressed when Ted Epstein told me he had learned all of Neal Peart's parts. But, now I know, that was amazing. It was before he was 16.
	12:15pm still b/p: @ Scraps -- did you catch THIS? wfmu.org...
	12:16pm chromaphone: Just looked up Chong on Wikipedia and apparently one of his bands opened up for the Jackson 5 in the 60s.
	12:16pm melinda: Tom Waits-Ice Cream Man
	12:17pm chromaphone: I watched the Rush documentary on Netflix which was good, but I realized I really don't like most of their music very much. Moving Pictures is probably my favorite.
	12:17pm Scraps: @still b/p: Yes! A friend passed it on to me
	12:18pm melinda: I've heard the Rush doc is good, too.
	12:22pm Stevel: Where's efd. He needs to share in the Rush love. [poke, poke]
	12:23pm still b/p: Uncle Michael, what is your search and retrieval method for this....a bit of everything, just whatever angle/source/media works, inside and outside your own boxes and files??
	12:23pm doctorjazz: I'll second Little Danny, The Wheel by Garcia. @still B/p, have to check out that show, looks great (today is too busy a radio day, though, great live stuff).
	12:23pm Listener Robert: So let's see: You have your OWN vast record library in Topeka?
	12:25pm Lizardner Dave: The origin of my WFMU Friendship Society name is Rush-related. When the playlist chats first started people were calling themselves "Listener (name)" and also around that time Freedman went on an anti-Rush rant saying that anyone who liked the band was a reptile. There already was a "Listener Dave" so I picked "Lizardner" which has proven to be difficult for DJ's to pronounce over the years.
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: I was a huuge Rush fan in 1977-78. When I got to college, I called up the campus radio station and requested something from 2112. I said, "Make sure to pronounce the drummer's name Peert and not Pert." What a little prick I was. My best friend Dan from high school won a radio contest and got to travel in a stretch limo to a Rush concert in Baltimore. He got a copy of all Rush's LPs and got to hang out backstage with the band. He brought my copy of 2112 and got it autographed.
	12:25pm Lizardner Dave: Also we wore an onion on our belt because that was the fashion of the time.
	12:26pm Stevel: We're here for you.
	12:26pm Scraps: OH YEAH!!!!!!!
	12:26pm Listener Robert: I wanted to register just "Robert", but that was taken. Ken himself had to put a hyphen before his registered name.
	12:26pm annie: the only Rush i liked was a local group in delaware county NY, back in the early 70s
	12:27pm coelacanth: greetings Uncle M and fellow djs
	12:28pm melinda: Thanks for that history, Lizardner. I always wonder what the story is behind listener names. I couldn't think of anything clever when I joined so I'm stuck with my own name.
	12:28pm burke: This is fun. Good on ya, Scraps.
	12:28pm Scraps: @coelacanth: Hey!
	12:29pm βrian: All I know is, Rush is a Big Fat Idiot.
	12:29pm melinda: But now subsequent melindas will have to choose something else, hahahaha!
	12:29pm Scraps: OH YEAH!
	12:30pm Stevel: Warm Leatherette: Hard to find a song more messed up than this one, which is why I love it so.
	12:30pm coelacanth: okay, i'll request a first choice and a second choice - in no particular order... "postures" by 13th floor elevators; "mr. station master" by Roy Harper.
	12:30pm melinda: I like Warm Leatherette.
	12:30pm annie: i've always been listener annie, with a lower case a, though; i discovered another listener Annie, whom i haven't seen in a while
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: still b/p, I'm not telling.
	12:31pm βrian: My user name is still in beta testing. I expect it always will be.
	12:31pm Scraps: Quick! Let's make love
	12:32pm chromaphone: Thanks for sharing the memories Doug! Personally I think they kind of nailed it with Working Man and should have stayed with that vibe :)
	12:32pm coelacanth: hey Scraps!
	12:32pm Webhamster Henry: A good segue would be Negativland's "Yellow Black and Rectangular"
	12:32pm listener james from westwood: On the very long-ago WFMU message board I was listener james from hackensack (also in NJ for those outside the area).
	12:34pm burke: Richard was The Band's best vocalist...he had strong competition though.
	12:34pm Dominick: So many songs to request. Might as well upset the cart "Animal Man" by Kim Fowley
	12:34pm βrian: Warm Leatherette reminds me of the Trio track, "Anna (Let Me In, Let Me Out)"
	12:34pm doctorjazz: Richard Manuel has such a nice falsetto on this...
	🛒 12:34pm Brian in UK: Ah Richard. Danko was my man.
	12:34pm still b/p: Warm Leatherette has a different tempo but somehow seems in the same family as My Sex by Ultravox.
	12:34pm melinda: My sister directed me to a Rush video that featured them in a recording studio with a lovely snowy Canadian landscape outside. Which is their natural habitat, I guess, but it seemed totally wrong to me. I always pictured them in an early 80s Texas shopping mall, which must be where I first heard them.
	12:36pm Santos L. Halper: Thanks for the Band. Jeez this song hits hard...
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: Aw hell yes to Harold! Thanks, UM!!
	12:37pm Parq: Lizardner Dave was once Listener Dave. On the aforementioned defunct message board, he crowdsourced ideas for a new on-line handle. I suggested that he adopt the persona of a madly bohemian romantic pianist who was also a devout Jew and call himself "Davener Liszt". Strangely, he did not jump at that.
	12:38pm doctorjazz: Don't Leave Me This Way oddly fits nicely here...
	12:38pm Little Danny: I am surprised at how reasonable most of these requests are
	12:40pm annie: is the stream bouncing around? or is it just my silly laptop?
	12:40pm still b/p: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your (musical) sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like.
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: @annie: hiccups on this end too!
	🛒 12:41pm Brian in UK: Fifty years young.
	12:42pm melinda: I think the stream is bouncing here too
	12:42pm Little Danny: @annie Some of it may be UM cueing up requests?
	12:42pm doctorjazz: I had the stream pop in and out for a bit there as well.
	12:42pm hyde: @annie there have been a couple of dropouts to the stream
	12:42pm βrian: I am not thinking of scallop tempura ...
	12:42pm Listener Robert: Listener james, was that a dial-in BBS? Asking seriously, wondered if there was ever an official or unofficial (independent) fan BBS for WFMU.
	12:42pm Scraps: @annie: lots of the time, the stream gets interfered with the main stream. At least, that's what it does in my computer. It's irritating!
	12:43pm annie: as long as i'm not losing my mind...
	12:43pm Lizardner Dave: Ah yes, the message board. blog.wfmu.org...
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Ha! And here I thought those alternating switchovers were some deliberate effect our Fearless DJ was using.
	12:45pm listener james from westwood: @L Robert: It was an official WFMU message board of the vBulletin software style. It grew infested by trolls and was eventually sent to a farm upstate.
	12:45pm Listener Robert: Oh, you meant Beware of the Blog. Shucks, I was hoping to find out it'd been preceded by a telephonic BBS.
	12:46pm Lizardner Dave: Ah yes, the blog: blog.wfmu.org...
	12:47pm Doug Schulkind: Actually, the WFMU message board pre-dated Beware of the Blog. It was purely a locus for message threads and subthreads. The thing got bloated with trolling and was wiped.
	12:47pm annie: ....sigh.... thanks UM.
	12:49pm doctorjazz: This Otis version is slower than I'm used to, different take?
	12:49pm 23 Wolves: This hive-mind show is tasty! Snowy St. Louis sending love.
	12:49pm doctorjazz: Really Everybody's turn today.
	12:50pm Webhamster Henry: Supertramp, this is a guilty pleasure!
	12:50pm annie: i daren't leave my room for fear of missing something..
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: @Robert: WFMU was a pioneer in streaming its audio, though. In the mid 90s you could call a number and listen through a dial phone. Perfect for office speaker phones!
	12:50pm Scraps: trippy speed!
	12:50pm Parq: Is this supposed to be happening?
	12:51pm Listener Robert: Tape wow, turntable wow, or in the original?
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: @annie: SERIOUSLY! This and Doug's show were "put on the WFMU app on the way to the mailbox" shows!
	12:51pm chromaphone: I just googled Earache my Eye and am shocked by this: "According to Tommy Chong's autobiography, the famous guitar riff is played by Gaye Delorme, who also composed the music for the song. Additionally, Chong states that drums on the song are played by famed international percussionist Airto Moreira." I always thought it was Chong who played the guitar for some reason.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: no, stupid dj adjusting on the fly
	12:51pm Webhamster Henry: Yes, the WFMU BBS was a moderation nightmare. It was not sent upstate, it was sent into the cornfield.
	12:51pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Mr. Dee Jay.
	12:52pm Alex In Illinois: I had thought it was Cheech on guitar and Chong on drums. I think there is a scene in one of their movies where that is portrayed with that song.
	12:52pm Jeff Golick: (I would "fave" @listener james's comment @12:51, if that were a thing.)
	12:52pm Scraps: trippy speed -- that's what we said when we weren't satisfied with a batch of LSD: bad trip, too much speed.
	12:52pm chromaphone: Nice request Jeff G.
	12:53pm annie: ditto, Jeff
	12:53pm melinda: I read some of the board comments on the page linked by Lizardner, one of them speculated that the high/low point of the board was when someone started asking where to buy crack. whoo-wee!
	12:53pm Listener Robert: UM, you should always be so "stupid". Then again, maybe your artistic sensibility doesn't comport with the WFMU DJs who don't just play recorded music, but play WITH recorded music, the way we did as kids.
	12:53pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Jeff!
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, tho I just requested the band. @UM made the selection.
	12:54pm speedoman: Uncle Michael! Requesting "Everlasting Arm" by Mercury Rev. Crazay turntabling skillz highly encouraged.
	12:54pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener James Could you explain what you mean about mailboxing shows on the app? Is this a feature of the new version of the app?
	12:54pm Matt in Nebraska: How about "Emma" by Hot Chocolate?
	12:55pm hyde: Gaye Delorme wrote Earache My Eye and The Rodeo Song. That's a real legacy.
	12:55pm chromaphone: Yea Alex, but as I recall it is obvious that Cheech is not actually playing in the movie. I guess in one of their movies Chong is wailing on guitar in his house and blasting out the neighbors, so I assumed he could really play.
	12:55pm βrian: Now I'm not thinking of little savory pastry tarts made with comté and caramelized leeks.
	12:55pm Scraps: Crime of the Century is a great album. Dreamer, Bloody Well Right, School... awesome
	12:56pm Scraps: Iceberg! yeah
	12:56pm Stevel: Brian: I was not thinking of any of those amazing foods. Damn you.
	12:56pm Scraps: This is living up to its promise
	12:57pm coelacanth: "emma" is a Great song, and one of the most obvious demonstrations of something Prince must've listened to a lot when he was "forming".
	12:57pm burke: Slap that snare, Ziggy!
	12:57pm hyde: @chromaphone that's in the beginning to Cheech and Chong's Next Movie. their best movie!
	12:58pm Scraps: Hot Chocolate is so underrated. In America, anyway.
	12:58pm βrian: Stream just hopped dimensions.
	12:58pm hyde: @Scraps agreed.
	12:58pm Dominick: Never heard this Meters cut. Very Todd-like
	12:58pm Stevel: Yup, here too, stream.
	12:59pm Scraps: Thank you, βrian, now I know It's not my computer
	12:59pm listener james from westwood: We're back!
	12:59pm βrian: I make mine with extra rich cocoa, whole milk, Ceylon cinnamon, and cayenne. A little Calvados to augment.
	1:00pm Parq: Turning it THE FUCK up!
	1:00pm Alex In Illinois: @ chromaphone: In Nice Dreams, they have an electric guitar and microphone plugged in to their ice cream truck's speaker system, but I can't remember which one was on guitar and which one singing.
	1:01pm V Priceless: yeah! Woo!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Parq, I went with the rehearsal recording. OK?
	1:01pm Stevel: Brian: Now with the Calvados? Have you no pity?
	1:04pm βrian: ... which of course calls to mind buckwheat crêpes folded around a steamed egg with grated emmental and slivers of smoked salmon ...
	1:04pm Jeff Golick: 801 really milked a lot out these few days.
	1:05pm Jeff Golick: (Not that I'm complaining.)
	1:05pm chromaphone: I think my favorite Hot Chocolate song might be Brother Louie, just because I loved it so much as a kid.
	1:05pm Parq: Ohh, so that's why it sounds different! Yeah, great, I get to hear my song and hear something new!
	🛒 1:05pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello All, Late to the party( At least part where I was keyboard enabled). You'se guys have great taste! If it's not too late, Unc, if you have Capt Beefheart's "Sure 'Nuff 'n' Yes, I Do". A boy can hope!
	1:07pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener James Could you explain what you meant by mailboxing shows on the WFMU app? Is this a new feature?
	1:07pm Stevel: 801 Live was the best/most dangerous tape to ski to, back in the day. I remember queuing up Third Uncle, repeatedly, for a particularly gnarly stretch of trail. I do not think it encouraged me to move more cautiously, and I was grateful.
	1:08pm coelacanth: i couldn't pick a favorite hot chocolate song, but emma and brother louie are 2 of the best. (i just as much love stories' version)
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: @βrian buckwheat crêpes are galettes over here. I prefer the savory to the sweet of crêpes.
	1:09pm Scraps: Brother Louie is a great song. In America we know by a band called Stories, which is not as great but still a little bit great
	1:09pm JP from KC: What up, Unc?! Can you give me "Bored" by Iggy Pop?
	1:10pm Scraps: But You Sexy Thing... awesome! Every 1's a Winner, also.
	1:11pm JP from KC: Or "Common People" by William Shatner!
	1:11pm Scraps: oops, i missed your comment, coelacanth!
	1:11pm chromaphone: No I wanted Chong! cool
	🛒 1:12pm Brian in UK: Who is it? Dave & the.....
	1:12pm chromaphone: Yea, You Sexy Thing is probably the best song I've heard by them, but the Stories version of Brother L just scratches this intense nostalgia itch.
	1:13pm βrian: I could also go for a whole steamed Red Snapper drizzled with hot peanut oil, cilantro, minced ginger, and shiso. If you please ...
	1:15pm βrian: Uh-oh, I think I know what's coming.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: Remember the first time you heard this song.
	1:16pm Doug Schulkind: Maybe Uncle Michael should issue a trigger warning.
	1:16pm melinda: Bill Withers is so good. There is a documentary about him, Still Bill.
	1:17pm JP from KC: Ok. Two more: Pink Floyd's "Careful With That Ax, Eugene," or pretty much anything from The Velvet Underground's selftitled album.
	1:17pm doctorjazz: Shatner's "Common People" is actually great, maybe the best/only thing he did that is worth playing without irony. I vote "You Sexy Thing" in the Hot Chocolate debate, just love that!
	1:20pm holland oats: fave lips era / hi all
	1:20pm Jeff Golick: I've already had my request filled, so have no real right to go back to the well, but: "Sister Golden Hair" would be fun.
	1:21pm coelacanth: Scraps @1:09 i was pretty little when i was in a thrift store looking through the records, and found "cicero park". i liked brother louie from the radio so i bought it. even though it was a different version, i found another band to love.
	1:21pm Jeff Golick: This day o radio has not been great for my productivity @ work.
	1:22pm holland oats: 'moods baby moods' by sonny and the sunsets
	1:23pm listener james from westwood: Good call on Timmy Thomas!
	1:23pm annie: jeff, i'm seriously stuck here... i have to get something to eat, but.. well, music is the food (of love).. play on!
	1:23pm Scraps: Better Off Dead with the, um, surprising end not only was a last song on its album, but it was Withers first album! Man.
	1:24pm Lewis: that's better...
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Nice, The Wheel has come (thankfully slow at work, can catch most of this).
	1:25pm doctorjazz: Garcia on Pedal Steel I believe.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	1:26pm hyde: heh, haven't heard this in like thirty years
	1:27pm Scraps: @coelacanth: I never heard "Cicero Park" until recently.
	1:27pm Lewis: Garcia was in so many ways underserved by the Grateful Dead...
	1:29pm Parq: Nice choice, Melinda. Just played this album at home a few days ago. "Martha" just kills me, and "Hope that I Don't Fall" is another favorite.
	1:29pm Stevel: It is difficult to parse how, back in the early days, Tom Waits was often touted in the same articles as Bruce Springsteen. Singer/songwriter connection, but still...
	🛒 1:29pm Brian in UK: I thought I detected bits of Sugar Magnolia in The Wheel.
	1:30pm Scraps: Oh, now. Weir and Lesh are pretty great, and that's not even including Hunter
	1:31pm melinda: Thanks, Parq. I love Closing Time. Tough choices, though, I was going to go with Jockey Full of Bourbon.
	1:31pm Scraps: Halfway through!
	1:33pm melinda: The non-electric version of Ice Cream Man on The Early Years is especially nice.
	1:33pm coelacanth: Garcia had already released a solo album that he played nearly everything on, no?
	1:33pm Lewis: yeah... but still....
	1:34pm Scraps: I thought Garcia was his first solo...
	1:35pm coelacanth: anyway - Pig Pen! ...pig pen and garcia. everyone else was expendable. {ducks}
	1:36pm melinda: @Steve: I agree it's weird to think of Tom and Bruce being lumped together in the early days. And yet there's a song or two from later on where Tom sounds very Springsteen, to me.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: (I think this album, Garcia, was all Garcia, with Kreutzman on drums, at least that's my recollection (and Wikepedia's take)
	1:37pm coelacanth: yes. according to album credits, Jerry played everything on that album and "the wheel", except drums.
	1:37pm chromaphone: WTF are you guys talking about regarding the Dead? Garcia is amazing but come on! Check out anything from '72, that band is telepathic and grooving. Personally, I wish they did more all-acoustic stuff.
	1:37pm Scraps: The Godchauxs were great, everyone else sux!
	1:37pm Parq: Stevel, remember when Bruce was the "new Bob Dylan"? So were several other people, possibly including Waits. Elliott Murphy cracked that he was going to form a "New Bob Dylan Club".
	1:38pm doctorjazz: You're kidding about the Godchaux's, no?
	1:39pm Lewis: Thanks UM - I do really like this song! (and I always forget about the weird intro)
	1:39pm Stevel: Parq: Oh yeah, now that you mention it. I think that was the crux of the thread, that male singer/songwriters had nothing to seek but Dylan's mantle.
	1:39pm Scraps: .............................................yes.
	1:40pm coelacanth: i just can't stand weir. never could. still can't. -and the addition of piano to their music was the beginning of the end, in my opinion.
	1:40pm Scraps: Oh! I didn't think about Have Moicy! Oh well, next all-request game.
	1:42pm Scraps: (the "...yes" was answering doctorjazz.)
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: Not going to enter the Dead debate just to say that Workingmans Dead & American Beauty are timeless in the same way as The Bands' early albums.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: Garcia was always the main focus for me as well, could definitely live without Bob Weir. Though Lesh was a major part of the shifting, improvisatory sound, wouldn't be them without him.
	1:43pm speedoman: THANK YOU UNCLE MICHAEL!
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: The Mercury Rev sounds different to the album.
	1:44pm annie: agreed, BrianUK.
	1:44pm Scraps: @Brian in UK: I agree, agree, agree.
	1:44pm doctorjazz: Garcia could fit in with country music and with Ornette...not too many out there that could do that.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Peel Session
	🛒 1:46pm Brian in UK: Jerry Garcia was a Lord Buckley fan. Nuff said.
	1:46pm chromaphone: I love the piano (until they started using crappy synth sounds that is) and Lesh is great and Weir wrote some great tunes and the drums are groovin and pig pen had soul and... For me the beginning of the end is whatever drugs and album producers they were using in the mid 70s. Brian in UK, yes classic albums, although as everyone knows the Dead really shone when playing live.
	1:46pm hyde: heh, i missed the Dead debate. all i can say is i loved them in high school, went to a couple shows (Lewiston was good) and then i went to college and all my Dead LPs got broken. I had Ace, too, but that one i think i sold.
	1:46pm Scraps: Mmm, I like Garcia, I really like Ornette, and they didn't work together (IMGDO)
	1:47pm coelacanth: sweet
	1:47pm hyde: this is soooo good.
	1:48pm holland oats: ...OR new counter intuits OR new lemon twigs
	1:49pm speedoman: It's the Peel Sessions version of Everlasting Arm. A bit less precious than the album version. I like it.
	1:50pm Scraps: this is fun, both the music and the conversation. Thank you, Uncle Michael!
	1:50pm doctorjazz: Don't know this Hot Chocolate tune, it's great!
	1:50pm Scraps: Ah, Beefheart!
	1:50pm holland oats: OR new 75 dollar bill. (i'll shut up now.)
	1:50pm speedoman: ...as Uncle Michael mentioned a few comments down. oops
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Great Beefheart, really channeling Wolf!
	1:51pm annie: poor old holy model rounders, left at the wayside .
	1:51pm Parq: DocJazz, isn't it? I stumbled onto it on a music blog years ago. What a killer, huh?
	1:52pm Scraps: @annie, we will pick them up the next time through!
	1:53pm coelacanth: Thanks! but, something's wrong! double tracking or something.
	1:53pm Jeff Golick: So many instantly recognizable voices in this set.
	1:54pm Scraps: sounds good from here
	1:54pm coelacanth: (i think it's okay now... or maybe a different mix than that i know)
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Not hearing what you're hearing, coelacanth. This is the mono mix.
	1:54pm holland oats: best psych album of all times
	1:54pm Parq: The Captain reminds me, the recent Blast of Hot Air linked to this cool page: dangerousminds.net...
	1:55pm annie: oh, good....thanks scraps..
	1:59pm Scraps: This songs always makes me laugh
	1:59pm rf: Shake Hands With Beef
	1:59pm Alex In Illinois: This Iggy Pop song and a tune by the Bar-Kays seem to have the same groove, and I always wanted to hear one right after the other.
	2:00pm Jeff Golick: So many instantly recognizable voices in this set.
	2:00pm Rich in Washington: Something by Robyn Hitchcock would be fab. Suprise me/us. Thanks, UM!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: That's great, the Bar-Kays sound didn't jump out until you mentioned it, Alex, cool.
	2:01pm V Priceless: super-fun show, Uncle M! Thanx for rolling with it! I imagine it's not that easy putting this together on the fly! Bravo!
	2:04pm JP from KC: AWW MAN! I had to step out of the office literally right before you played Iggy! Story of my life. I'll catch it in the archives.
	2:05pm rf: I forgot "please"... sorry
	2:05pm annie: JP from KC, that is why i'm sitting still.
	2:06pm holland oats: yay! thx
	2:06pm annie: ...aaand, there's the snow.
	2:06pm JP from KC: I really should have. Thanks for the dedication and shout-out, UM.
	2:08pm doctorjazz: @JP from KC...I did the same when my Withered and Died request came on early in the show, went to one of the streaming services (TIDAL) while credits were being given between sets to hear it.
	2:09pm Doug Schulkind: I love that you are using requested tracks as talkover music. Very satisfying.
	2:09pm Scraps: Yeah, I stepped out when UM played Better Off Dead. I used to have a blog where I played one song a day, and when came time to play Withers, Better Off Dead was the one I played....poot. But I will listen to this at least once more!
	2:10pm KevinfromBayRidge: TankQ, UNC. Once again, my tardiness is rewarded!
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM!
	2:11pm Scraps: a great Hitchcock song -- yay!
	2:14pm rf: scary seamless
	2:14pm ronzoni: am i too late?
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: If I've missed your first request, please tell me!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: no, Ron
	2:18pm V Priceless: !!
	2:18pm ronzoni: if i can still make a request, do you have "designated driver" by NRBQ?
	2:19pm Stevel: Alice's vocal in the West Side story section sounds a bit like Angry Samoans.
	2:20pm Andrew Waterloo: I spent all my Christmas card money on early Alice Cooper
	2:21pm ronzoni: ahahahaha
	2:22pm Gaylord Fields: Yikes — that was not the original version of "Don't Pull Your Love"!
	2:22pm chromaphone: and the original isn't even that great in the first place, lol.
	2:23pm chromaphone: It's on one of those Have A Nice Day discs.
	2:23pm Gaylord Fields: @chromaphone: Them's fightin' words — the original is pop perfection!
	2:24pm βrian: Good Lord. Now I'm sliding into a post-Indian-buffet food coma.
	2:24pm chromaphone: Lol Gaylord, ok ok I take it back.
	2:24pm Scraps: but Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds did the hit
	2:25pm burke: We really ought to hear the original now that you've taken the firm position...
	2:25pm Leonardo: Any chance of Share the Land by the Guess Who?
	2:25pm Rich in Washington: UM, your Have A Nice Day feature show a few years back prompted me to buy the whole damn set, put it on our common jukebox/computer and my wife and I used it as our remodeling soundtrack - it being the only music we can mutually agree on. Sadly, we're sick of lots of the songs by now, especially that Hamilton, Frank & Reynolds track.
	2:26pm ronzoni: yay, thanks!!!!!
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: @βrian: post-Indian-buffet food comas are the best, are they not?
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: @UM: You're doing awesome.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, Rich.
	2:28pm doctorjazz: Just got the NRBQ box, starting to check it out, somehow they have always been on to do list but never got to them.
	2:28pm βrian: Poor guy doesn't even warrant an adverbial suffix?
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: No need. We're still gettin' mileage out of it, sans a few songs. I've also supplemented lots of notable omissions.
	2:28pm Scraps: yes! i miss so much 8th street indian. my favorite cuisine
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: Now I'm waiting for the Rhino 80s box set to drop.
	2:29pm Ramblin' Ray: Thanks Uncle!
	2:29pm ronzoni: somewhere i saw the track listing for the NRBQ box - it seems like it was too heavily weighted towards more recent stuff for me
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: my pleasure!
	2:31pm Leonardo: Yeah!
	2:32pm Parq: Talkin'bout together, now.
	2:32pm Gaylord Fields: @chromaphone: Ha! That record probably never inspired that much passion before!
	2:34pm Lewis: Good Call Leonardo!
	2:35pm Jeff Golick: Whoo!
	2:35pm Andrew Waterloo: PiL!
	2:35pm Rich in Washington: I can't believe this album's 30 years old.
	2:36pm Scraps: I'm amazed that no one requested the Fall. ;-)
	2:36pm Jeff Golick: (Missed the talkover request, though. Curious to hear what it was all about - will recheck in archivia.)
	2:37pm Jeff Golick: THIS ALBUM IS THIRTY YEARS OLD??? JFC.
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: watched an amusing video over vacation - the original Pistols - who're now GEEZERS - wandering around London, commenting on everything. Lydon's bit is pretty funny - riding around on a tour bus yelling at passersby, complaining about the declining state of London metropolitan architecture.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: 31
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: I actually had "Cassette."
	🛒 2:38pm Brian in UK: Uncle, brilliantly handled. Here's to the next time. Well done.
	2:39pm Jeff Golick: Lydon and Kathleen Hanna would make a pretty good duo, I think.
	2:39pm Jeff Golick: Unless that'd be too much of a good thing?
	2:40pm listener james from westwood: There was a joint production of "The Wall" some decades back, late 80s or so, w/ various artists each taking a song. I forget who got "Run Like Hell" but I recall thinking at the time that Lydon would've KILLED on that track.
	2:41pm Andrew Waterloo: It's too bad they couldn't tour Album.
	2:41pm Wilson K: Another avuncular afternoon. Ahhhhhh.
	2:42pm 67tele: dont worry unk - we're not going anywhere; they have us chained up at work:)
	2:42pm doctorjazz: Been a barrel of fun, UM, thanks.
	2:43pm listener james from westwood: If "Maajun" = "Majoun," it's a Mideast hashish delivery system, if I recall my Burroughs right.
	2:43pm melinda: This is great talkover music.
	2:43pm βrian: I thought FMU DJs were just put in the DJ closet between shows.
	2:44pm doctorjazz: I'll catch the request this time, great.
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Work's gotta wait.
	2:48pm JP from KC: That Shatner track would be a great follow-up, here. Just sayin....
	2:48pm Andrew Waterloo: Robot Arms Apartments. Vacancy's for Robots and WFMU DJs.
	2:49pm Ramblin' Ray: @listener james: spot on - it is a tasty sweetmeat and Davy's was quite likely psychoactive. Full title is "Maajun (A Taste of Tangier)".
	2:50pm Scraps: ALL RIGHT
	2:52pm listener james from westwood: @Ray: Then that's it exactly; that's where WSB picked it up. (Still boggles the mind he lived to 83! Adamantine constitution, that one!)
	2:54pm V Priceless: wow - thanks Uncle Michael!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: :thumbsup:
	2:55pm Scraps: oh i like this Association song too
	2:55pm Lewis: That was really fun and captivating = Thanks UM!
	2:55pm melinda: I love the Association.
	2:56pm ronzoni: i'm really enjoying hearing stuff i've never heard before
	2:57pm Scraps: ahhhhhhhhh! do ya do ya want my love!
	2:57pm Mary Wing: DO YA! DO YA! Great show today, Uncle Michael!
	2:58pm Listener Robert: Darn, you're going to make me choose between sticking thru this one & switching to Monica!
	2:58pm annie: great show today UM, even though most of it was not entirely in my taste, the enthusiasm made up for it.. loved it!
	2:58pm hyde: nice closer! love this song. this was great, thanks so much!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Mary....I'm done, Robert! Thanks everyone! I love you all more than before.
	2:59pm V Priceless: haha..thank YOU Uncle M! You ROCK! Cheers!
	2:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM! Fun show!
	3:00pm ronzoni: thanks, mike!
	3:00pm JP from KC: Awesome show UM! Thanks!
	3:00pm Scraps: too much fun for one day!
	3:00pm coelacanth: what a Great song.
	3:00pm Ramblin' Ray: A blast. Thanks UM.
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Again I say: WHOO!
	3:01pm Andrew Waterloo: You're the best UM!
	3:01pm Lizardner Dave: Fun! Thanks UM!
	3:01pm rf: hugs to you. thx
	3:01pm coelacanth: Thanks Uncle M! Great show!
	3:01pm Parq: What a blast, what a ride! Congrats to all.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Smashing ending and what a spread of tunes! Thanks, all, for your killer requests, and to UM for assembling them on such short notice!!
	3:01pm melinda: Thanks UM! Looking forward to the next one. This was great fun.
	3:02pm V Priceless: yes - thanks to all! : )
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks so much everyone...see you next week.
	3:04pm doctorjazz: Great stuff, until next week!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 6, 2017

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.

Listener comments!
	1/4 8:52pm Uncle Michael: Post a request. I'll play it. My present to all of you.
	8:00am Funky16Corners: Snow by Nilsson (or Claudine Longet)??
	8:02am Lizardner Dave: How about you break the rarely broken Rush barrier on WFMU? YYZ maybe?
	8:05am doctorjazz: How about a really cheery tune, "Withered and Died" by Richard and Linda Thompson? (can we make more than 1 request?)
	8:06am mauri: Roberto Paiva - Mulher, sempre mulher . From Orfeu da Conceicao. Some sunny bossa for the cold winters day.
	8:13am mike s.: Hey UM - longtime listener here. Do you think you could play "Baby Won't Ya" by the MC5? If not, any MC5 cut will do.
	8:17am doctorjazz: Do Ya by ELO would be another (if more than one are allowed...probably not a great idea, I may fill up the thread...) Romance without Finance-Charlie Parker (I'll stop for now)
	8:20am Spaceman One: Ramones, Durango 95
	8:29am Scraps: I'll request a few, because I don't know which ones you have; I know I only get one request played, if that! So, in order of preference: "The God Sheila" by Nervus Rex "Touch" by Lori and the Chameleons "The Shape of Things to Come" by the Headboys "Following Through" by the Dismemberment Plan
	8:36am Ken: Warm leatherette. Original 45 by some Brit band whose name I forget. Spill the wine, take this girl.
	8:40am hyde: how about Whispering Pines by The Band?
	8:42am doctorjazz: 1+ on The Band song.
	8:46am doctorjazz: Any Live Dead with a good mess up by Weir or Garcia (or both), love catching that stuff...
	8:48am doctorjazz: How about Eric Anderson's "Blue River" (I have too much time on my hands, snow here slowing up the office).
	8:50am hyde: @doctorjazz maybe he can play the Band song back to back with your Richard and Linda Thompson song for a super fun twofer!
	8:50am Uncle Michael: I'll get to people's second+ requests if I don't have enough first requests.
	8:53am doctorjazz: @Hyde-I'll get the box of tissues ready if he does.
	8:53am Scraps: More (more!): Peter Blegvad, "Real Slap in the Face" Golden Palominos, "Something Else Is Working Harder" Game Theory, "Regenisraen" Loud Family, "Jimmy Still Comes Around"
	8:54am Scraps: ;-)
	8:56am Scraps: My requesting hands need to be tied down.
	8:56am Uncle Michael: Clamp your hands and stab your feet!
	8:57am Scraps: Ken, "Warm Leatherette" was by The Normal. Grace Jones did an amazing cover, too.
	9:02am doctorjazz: How about Frenchette, David Johansen?
	9:08am listener james from westwood: Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, "Don't Leave Me This Way" or the Detroit Emeralds, "Feel the Need in Me"—whichever ya got. Thanks!
	🛒 9:11am Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. "Alone Again Or" by Love from Forever Changes Thanks.
	9:14am listener james from westwood: ^^^^^^^ Hell yes to Love.
	9:32am annie: Fe fe fe by otis redding(?)
	9:36am doctorjazz: Fafafa, and yeah yeah yeah!!!
	9:42am Jeff Golick: I am in lurv with this idea. I'd actually like to hear some Supertramp. Maybe also something from PiL's Album/Cassette/CD - "Bags" or "FFF" And a song I've had in my head since I heard it (and sang along to it) a few das ago in the aisles of my local Key Food supermarket, "Don't Pull Your Love."
	9:45am Ramblin' Ray: Maajun by Davy Graham
	9:58am Uncle Michael: moar
	10:00am V Priceless: Happy New Year, Uncle M! Here's a few suggestions (I scaled it back!) - whatever you can grab first works for me! 10cc: Iceberg; The Association: Barefoot Gentleman; The Brooklyn Bridge: Minstrel Sunday; Procol Harum: Fires (Which Burnt Brightly); The Move: Walk Upon The Water; Kinks: Drivin'; Alice Cooper: Still No Air; Stranglers: Curfew
	10:06am Jeff Golick: Aretha deep cuts always appreciated.
	10:21am mike s.: Speaking of Otis Redding it would be great to hear Nobody's fault but Mine or the killer live version of I Can't Turn You Loose from the Live In Europe album. Of course those would be second requests only.
	10:31am burke: "Loving You Is On My Mind" The Meters. Happy Friday.
	10:33am doctorjazz: How about On the Dark Side Of The Street (James Carr)?
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Doug says the show is almost full...but that's with multiple requests from folks. I only have 1st requests from 16 people. 1st requests will bump multiples...so if you haven't posted a request...DO.
	10:46am chromaphone: Some obscure steel guitar track that I have never heard. I'll only be able to listen til 2:30 or so though :(
	10:46am βrian: Anything by Bill Withers.
	10:48am βrian: Ooh, gots any slack-key guitar?
	10:49am chromaphone: How about something by Tommy Chong that wasn't done with Cheech. Did he record any music outside of C&C?
	10:50am Parq: Requesting "Miss Shapiro/You Really Got Me" from 801 Live. If that's too long, then "Third Uncle" from the same album.
	10:51am annie: @ βrian@ yes!!! and also "Sir Duke"
	10:56am Scraps: Many great tracks by Bill Withers almost never get played because his famous stuff knocked out the less famous. Like "Better Off Dead", and the awesomely awesome "Use Me".
	11:04am V Priceless: nice one @ Parq
	🛒 11:54am Brian in UK: Uncle as a second choice The Flaming Lips opening track from Hit to Death "Talkin' 'Bout the Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants to Live Forever)"
	11:59am Scraps: My basic phone ring is the Flaming Lips "Free Radicals". Several times a day, it broadcasts Weird at me
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: I request that you play whatever you wanna!
	12:02pm Webhamster Henry: Hey Request takin' Uncle Michael ... how about playing the whole Hinky Dinky Super Mart commecial jingle?
	12:03pm βrian: Krakatoa go boom!
	12:03pm annie: hunkering in for the request show!
	12:03pm Parq: < obligatory "east of Java" reference >
	12:03pm Scraps: Awesome leadoff
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: Very excited!!
	12:04pm Scraps: me too!
	12:04pm hyde: yay!
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: Hi everyone. Thanks for sharing your ages at the previous show!
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: A+ Rush pick!
	12:06pm Scraps: I specifically made sure that I got plenty of time to wake and settle down on my computer. Yes!
	12:06pm Webhamster Henry: @chromophone and Cheech did a really funny kid's record where he's a school bus driver - we had the Spanish version. It's very lively and well produced!
	12:07pm Alex In Illinois: The reason I am wondering is because I still find listener-supported-radio, including web-streams, to be my favorite medium. Meanwhile, it seems that college radio is not considered as big a deal as it was when I was in college.
	12:07pm still b/p: I hafta leave to do a thing soon....but I'll request -- timmy thomas: why can't we live together (If slowwww mood works) John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman: They Say it's Wonderful Duke Ellington: Caravan
	12:07pm Doug Schulkind: Remember to pronounce it Peert, not Pert, Uncle Michael.
	12:07pm Artie Haywire: Oh boy.
	12:07pm Lewis: The Last Place they would look by BoxMasters
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: This is already a fun thing...but next time, it will be a twice-as-much-fun thing. Next time, you won't be able to see each others requests before you hear them.
	12:08pm Lizardner Dave: Well that's it, Freedman just fainted.
	12:08pm Scraps: I'm eh on Rush -- no hate, no love -- but this one I always interested in
	12:09pm chromaphone: wow, awesome Webmaster. Thanks for the tip. I think the guitar in Earache My Eye is pretty sweet so makes me wonder what else he has done along those lines, if anything. @UncleM: good idea.
	12:09pm Artie Haywire: Always forget about the little "Scheherazade" section.
	12:09pm Stevel: Anyone suggested any Klattu? Just suggesting.
	12:09pm Alex In Illinois: .. excuse me, I mean when WE were college-aged.
	12:09pm still b/p: Someone I know says hearing the Rush drummer awakened him and I think incited him to take up drumming.
	12:10pm Scraps: @Uncle Michael: I like that adjustment in the rules!
	12:11pm βrian: @Alex: I still listen to WCBN a fair bit.
	12:11pm Little Danny: Jerry Garcia's "The Wheel"!!!!
	12:11pm Scraps: Caravan, oh yeah. It's hard to screw that up
	🛒 12:12pm Brian in UK: Scraps Tilbury Kecks?
	12:13pm Little Danny: Hearing Rush on FMU has gotta be one of the funniest moments of 2017
	12:14pm Scraps: Elvis Costello covered "Withered and Died". (Kinda a cliche for his to it, eh?) He also covered " The End of the Rainbow"
	12:14pm Alex In Illinois: At first I liked Rush, before punk/wave/ska/newromantic/postpunk came along, and I fell into that "more wave-than-thou" faze. I remember not showing that I was impressed when Ted Epstein told me he had learned all of Neal Peart's parts. But, now I know, that was amazing. It was before he was 16.
	12:15pm still b/p: @ Scraps -- did you catch THIS? wfmu.org...
	12:16pm chromaphone: Just looked up Chong on Wikipedia and apparently one of his bands opened up for the Jackson 5 in the 60s.
	12:16pm melinda: Tom Waits-Ice Cream Man
	12:17pm chromaphone: I watched the Rush documentary on Netflix which was good, but I realized I really don't like most of their music very much. Moving Pictures is probably my favorite.
	12:17pm Scraps: @still b/p: Yes! A friend passed it on to me
	12:18pm melinda: I've heard the Rush doc is good, too.
	12:22pm Stevel: Where's efd. He needs to share in the Rush love. [poke, poke]
	12:23pm still b/p: Uncle Michael, what is your search and retrieval method for this....a bit of everything, just whatever angle/source/media works, inside and outside your own boxes and files??
	12:23pm doctorjazz: I'll second Little Danny, The Wheel by Garcia. @still B/p, have to check out that show, looks great (today is too busy a radio day, though, great live stuff).
	12:23pm Listener Robert: So let's see: You have your OWN vast record library in Topeka?
	12:25pm Lizardner Dave: The origin of my WFMU Friendship Society name is Rush-related. When the playlist chats first started people were calling themselves "Listener (name)" and also around that time Freedman went on an anti-Rush rant saying that anyone who liked the band was a reptile. There already was a "Listener Dave" so I picked "Lizardner" which has proven to be difficult for DJ's to pronounce over the years.
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: I was a huuge Rush fan in 1977-78. When I got to college, I called up the campus radio station and requested something from 2112. I said, "Make sure to pronounce the drummer's name Peert and not Pert." What a little prick I was. My best friend Dan from high school won a radio contest and got to travel in a stretch limo to a Rush concert in Baltimore. He got a copy of all Rush's LPs and got to hang out backstage with the band. He brought my copy of 2112 and got it autographed.
	12:25pm Lizardner Dave: Also we wore an onion on our belt because that was the fashion of the time.
	12:26pm Stevel: We're here for you.
	12:26pm Scraps: OH YEAH!!!!!!!
	12:26pm Listener Robert: I wanted to register just "Robert", but that was taken. Ken himself had to put a hyphen before his registered name.
	12:26pm annie: the only Rush i liked was a local group in delaware county NY, back in the early 70s
	12:27pm coelacanth: greetings Uncle M and fellow djs
	12:28pm melinda: Thanks for that history, Lizardner. I always wonder what the story is behind listener names. I couldn't think of anything clever when I joined so I'm stuck with my own name.
	12:28pm burke: This is fun. Good on ya, Scraps.
	12:28pm Scraps: @coelacanth: Hey!
	12:29pm βrian: All I know is, Rush is a Big Fat Idiot.
	12:29pm melinda: But now subsequent melindas will have to choose something else, hahahaha!
	12:29pm Scraps: OH YEAH!
	12:30pm Stevel: Warm Leatherette: Hard to find a song more messed up than this one, which is why I love it so.
	12:30pm coelacanth: okay, i'll request a first choice and a second choice - in no particular order... "postures" by 13th floor elevators; "mr. station master" by Roy Harper.
	12:30pm melinda: I like Warm Leatherette.
	12:30pm annie: i've always been listener annie, with a lower case a, though; i discovered another listener Annie, whom i haven't seen in a while
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: still b/p, I'm not telling.
	12:31pm βrian: My user name is still in beta testing. I expect it always will be.
	12:31pm Scraps: Quick! Let's make love
	12:32pm chromaphone: Thanks for sharing the memories Doug! Personally I think they kind of nailed it with Working Man and should have stayed with that vibe :)
	12:32pm coelacanth: hey Scraps!
	12:32pm Webhamster Henry: A good segue would be Negativland's "Yellow Black and Rectangular"
	12:32pm listener james from westwood: On the very long-ago WFMU message board I was listener james from hackensack (also in NJ for those outside the area).
	12:34pm burke: Richard was The Band's best vocalist...he had strong competition though.
	12:34pm Dominick: So many songs to request. Might as well upset the cart "Animal Man" by Kim Fowley
	12:34pm βrian: Warm Leatherette reminds me of the Trio track, "Anna (Let Me In, Let Me Out)"
	12:34pm doctorjazz: Richard Manuel has such a nice falsetto on this...
	🛒 12:34pm Brian in UK: Ah Richard. Danko was my man.
	12:34pm still b/p: Warm Leatherette has a different tempo but somehow seems in the same family as My Sex by Ultravox.
	12:34pm melinda: My sister directed me to a Rush video that featured them in a recording studio with a lovely snowy Canadian landscape outside. Which is their natural habitat, I guess, but it seemed totally wrong to me. I always pictured them in an early 80s Texas shopping mall, which must be where I first heard them.
	12:36pm Santos L. Halper: Thanks for the Band. Jeez this song hits hard...
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: Aw hell yes to Harold! Thanks, UM!!
	12:37pm Parq: Lizardner Dave was once Listener Dave. On the aforementioned defunct message board, he crowdsourced ideas for a new on-line handle. I suggested that he adopt the persona of a madly bohemian romantic pianist who was also a devout Jew and call himself "Davener Liszt". Strangely, he did not jump at that.
	12:38pm doctorjazz: Don't Leave Me This Way oddly fits nicely here...
	12:38pm Little Danny: I am surprised at how reasonable most of these requests are
	12:40pm annie: is the stream bouncing around? or is it just my silly laptop?
	12:40pm still b/p: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your (musical) sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like.
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: @annie: hiccups on this end too!
	🛒 12:41pm Brian in UK: Fifty years young.
	12:42pm melinda: I think the stream is bouncing here too
	12:42pm Little Danny: @annie Some of it may be UM cueing up requests?
	12:42pm doctorjazz: I had the stream pop in and out for a bit there as well.
	12:42pm hyde: @annie there have been a couple of dropouts to the stream
	12:42pm βrian: I am not thinking of scallop tempura ...
	12:42pm Listener Robert: Listener james, was that a dial-in BBS? Asking seriously, wondered if there was ever an official or unofficial (independent) fan BBS for WFMU.
	12:42pm Scraps: @annie: lots of the time, the stream gets interfered with the main stream. At least, that's what it does in my computer. It's irritating!
	12:43pm annie: as long as i'm not losing my mind...
	12:43pm Lizardner Dave: Ah yes, the message board. blog.wfmu.org...
	12:43pm Listener Robert: Ha! And here I thought those alternating switchovers were some deliberate effect our Fearless DJ was using.
	12:45pm listener james from westwood: @L Robert: It was an official WFMU message board of the vBulletin software style. It grew infested by trolls and was eventually sent to a farm upstate.
	12:45pm Listener Robert: Oh, you meant Beware of the Blog. Shucks, I was hoping to find out it'd been preceded by a telephonic BBS.
	12:46pm Lizardner Dave: Ah yes, the blog: blog.wfmu.org...
	12:47pm Doug Schulkind: Actually, the WFMU message board pre-dated Beware of the Blog. It was purely a locus for message threads and subthreads. The thing got bloated with trolling and was wiped.
	12:47pm annie: ....sigh.... thanks UM.
	12:49pm doctorjazz: This Otis version is slower than I'm used to, different take?
	12:49pm 23 Wolves: This hive-mind show is tasty! Snowy St. Louis sending love.
	12:49pm doctorjazz: Really Everybody's turn today.
	12:50pm Webhamster Henry: Supertramp, this is a guilty pleasure!
	12:50pm annie: i daren't leave my room for fear of missing something..
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: @Robert: WFMU was a pioneer in streaming its audio, though. In the mid 90s you could call a number and listen through a dial phone. Perfect for office speaker phones!
	12:50pm Scraps: trippy speed!
	12:50pm Parq: Is this supposed to be happening?
	12:51pm Listener Robert: Tape wow, turntable wow, or in the original?
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: @annie: SERIOUSLY! This and Doug's show were "put on the WFMU app on the way to the mailbox" shows!
	12:51pm chromaphone: I just googled Earache my Eye and am shocked by this: "According to Tommy Chong's autobiography, the famous guitar riff is played by Gaye Delorme, who also composed the music for the song. Additionally, Chong states that drums on the song are played by famed international percussionist Airto Moreira." I always thought it was Chong who played the guitar for some reason.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: no, stupid dj adjusting on the fly
	12:51pm Webhamster Henry: Yes, the WFMU BBS was a moderation nightmare. It was not sent upstate, it was sent into the cornfield.
	12:51pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Mr. Dee Jay.
	12:52pm Alex In Illinois: I had thought it was Cheech on guitar and Chong on drums. I think there is a scene in one of their movies where that is portrayed with that song.
	12:52pm Jeff Golick: (I would "fave" @listener james's comment @12:51, if that were a thing.)
	12:52pm Scraps: trippy speed -- that's what we said when we weren't satisfied with a batch of LSD: bad trip, too much speed.
	12:52pm chromaphone: Nice request Jeff G.
	12:53pm annie: ditto, Jeff
	12:53pm melinda: I read some of the board comments on the page linked by Lizardner, one of them speculated that the high/low point of the board was when someone started asking where to buy crack. whoo-wee!
	12:53pm Listener Robert: UM, you should always be so "stupid". Then again, maybe your artistic sensibility doesn't comport with the WFMU DJs who don't just play recorded music, but play WITH recorded music, the way we did as kids.
	12:53pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Jeff!
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, tho I just requested the band. @UM made the selection.
	12:54pm speedoman: Uncle Michael! Requesting "Everlasting Arm" by Mercury Rev. Crazay turntabling skillz highly encouraged.
	12:54pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener James Could you explain what you mean about mailboxing shows on the app? Is this a feature of the new version of the app?
	12:54pm Matt in Nebraska: How about "Emma" by Hot Chocolate?
	12:55pm hyde: Gaye Delorme wrote Earache My Eye and The Rodeo Song. That's a real legacy.
	12:55pm chromaphone: Yea Alex, but as I recall it is obvious that Cheech is not actually playing in the movie. I guess in one of their movies Chong is wailing on guitar in his house and blasting out the neighbors, so I assumed he could really play.
	12:55pm βrian: Now I'm not thinking of little savory pastry tarts made with comté and caramelized leeks.
	12:55pm Scraps: Crime of the Century is a great album. Dreamer, Bloody Well Right, School... awesome
	12:56pm Scraps: Iceberg! yeah
	12:56pm Stevel: Brian: I was not thinking of any of those amazing foods. Damn you.
	12:56pm Scraps: This is living up to its promise
	12:57pm coelacanth: "emma" is a Great song, and one of the most obvious demonstrations of something Prince must've listened to a lot when he was "forming".
	12:57pm burke: Slap that snare, Ziggy!
	12:57pm hyde: @chromaphone that's in the beginning to Cheech and Chong's Next Movie. their best movie!
	12:58pm Scraps: Hot Chocolate is so underrated. In America, anyway.
	12:58pm βrian: Stream just hopped dimensions.
	12:58pm hyde: @Scraps agreed.
	12:58pm Dominick: Never heard this Meters cut. Very Todd-like
	12:58pm Stevel: Yup, here too, stream.
	12:59pm Scraps: Thank you, βrian, now I know It's not my computer
	12:59pm listener james from westwood: We're back!
	12:59pm βrian: I make mine with extra rich cocoa, whole milk, Ceylon cinnamon, and cayenne. A little Calvados to augment.
	1:00pm Parq: Turning it THE FUCK up!
	1:00pm Alex In Illinois: @ chromaphone: In Nice Dreams, they have an electric guitar and microphone plugged in to their ice cream truck's speaker system, but I can't remember which one was on guitar and which one singing.
	1:01pm V Priceless: yeah! Woo!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Parq, I went with the rehearsal recording. OK?
	1:01pm Stevel: Brian: Now with the Calvados? Have you no pity?
	1:04pm βrian: ... which of course calls to mind buckwheat crêpes folded around a steamed egg with grated emmental and slivers of smoked salmon ...
	1:04pm Jeff Golick: 801 really milked a lot out these few days.
	1:05pm Jeff Golick: (Not that I'm complaining.)
	1:05pm chromaphone: I think my favorite Hot Chocolate song might be Brother Louie, just because I loved it so much as a kid.
	1:05pm Parq: Ohh, so that's why it sounds different! Yeah, great, I get to hear my song and hear something new!
	🛒 1:05pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello All, Late to the party( At least part where I was keyboard enabled). You'se guys have great taste! If it's not too late, Unc, if you have Capt Beefheart's "Sure 'Nuff 'n' Yes, I Do". A boy can hope!
	1:07pm Doug Schulkind: @Listener James Could you explain what you meant by mailboxing shows on the WFMU app? Is this a new feature?
	1:07pm Stevel: 801 Live was the best/most dangerous tape to ski to, back in the day. I remember queuing up Third Uncle, repeatedly, for a particularly gnarly stretch of trail. I do not think it encouraged me to move more cautiously, and I was grateful.
	1:08pm coelacanth: i couldn't pick a favorite hot chocolate song, but emma and brother louie are 2 of the best. (i just as much love stories' version)
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: @βrian buckwheat crêpes are galettes over here. I prefer the savory to the sweet of crêpes.
	1:09pm Scraps: Brother Louie is a great song. In America we know by a band called Stories, which is not as great but still a little bit great
	1:09pm JP from KC: What up, Unc?! Can you give me "Bored" by Iggy Pop?
	1:10pm Scraps: But You Sexy Thing... awesome! Every 1's a Winner, also.
	1:11pm JP from KC: Or "Common People" by William Shatner!
	1:11pm Scraps: oops, i missed your comment, coelacanth!
	1:11pm chromaphone: No I wanted Chong! cool
	🛒 1:12pm Brian in UK: Who is it? Dave & the.....
	1:12pm chromaphone: Yea, You Sexy Thing is probably the best song I've heard by them, but the Stories version of Brother L just scratches this intense nostalgia itch.
	1:13pm βrian: I could also go for a whole steamed Red Snapper drizzled with hot peanut oil, cilantro, minced ginger, and shiso. If you please ...
	1:15pm βrian: Uh-oh, I think I know what's coming.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: Remember the first time you heard this song.
	1:16pm Doug Schulkind: Maybe Uncle Michael should issue a trigger warning.
	1:16pm melinda: Bill Withers is so good. There is a documentary about him, Still Bill.
	1:17pm JP from KC: Ok. Two more: Pink Floyd's "Careful With That Ax, Eugene," or pretty much anything from The Velvet Underground's selftitled album.
	1:17pm doctorjazz: Shatner's "Common People" is actually great, maybe the best/only thing he did that is worth playing without irony. I vote "You Sexy Thing" in the Hot Chocolate debate, just love that!
	1:20pm holland oats: fave lips era / hi all
	1:20pm Jeff Golick: I've already had my request filled, so have no real right to go back to the well, but: "Sister Golden Hair" would be fun.
	1:21pm coelacanth: Scraps @1:09 i was pretty little when i was in a thrift store looking through the records, and found "cicero park". i liked brother louie from the radio so i bought it. even though it was a different version, i found another band to love.
	1:21pm Jeff Golick: This day o radio has not been great for my productivity @ work.
	1:22pm holland oats: 'moods baby moods' by sonny and the sunsets
	1:23pm listener james from westwood: Good call on Timmy Thomas!
	1:23pm annie: jeff, i'm seriously stuck here... i have to get something to eat, but.. well, music is the food (of love).. play on!
	1:23pm Scraps: Better Off Dead with the, um, surprising end not only was a last song on its album, but it was Withers first album! Man.
	1:24pm Lewis: that's better...
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Nice, The Wheel has come (thankfully slow at work, can catch most of this).
	1:25pm doctorjazz: Garcia on Pedal Steel I believe.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	1:26pm hyde: heh, haven't heard this in like thirty years
	1:27pm Scraps: @coelacanth: I never heard "Cicero Park" until recently.
	1:27pm Lewis: Garcia was in so many ways underserved by the Grateful Dead...
	1:29pm Parq: Nice choice, Melinda. Just played this album at home a few days ago. "Martha" just kills me, and "Hope that I Don't Fall" is another favorite.
	1:29pm Stevel: It is difficult to parse how, back in the early days, Tom Waits was often touted in the same articles as Bruce Springsteen. Singer/songwriter connection, but still...
	🛒 1:29pm Brian in UK: I thought I detected bits of Sugar Magnolia in The Wheel.
	1:30pm Scraps: Oh, now. Weir and Lesh are pretty great, and that's not even including Hunter
	1:31pm melinda: Thanks, Parq. I love Closing Time. Tough choices, though, I was going to go with Jockey Full of Bourbon.
	1:31pm Scraps: Halfway through!
	1:33pm melinda: The non-electric version of Ice Cream Man on The Early Years is especially nice.
	1:33pm coelacanth: Garcia had already released a solo album that he played nearly everything on, no?
	1:33pm Lewis: yeah... but still....
	1:34pm Scraps: I thought Garcia was his first solo...
	1:35pm coelacanth: anyway - Pig Pen! ...pig pen and garcia. everyone else was expendable. {ducks}
	1:36pm melinda: @Steve: I agree it's weird to think of Tom and Bruce being lumped together in the early days. And yet there's a song or two from later on where Tom sounds very Springsteen, to me.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: (I think this album, Garcia, was all Garcia, with Kreutzman on drums, at least that's my recollection (and Wikepedia's take)
	1:37pm coelacanth: yes. according to album credits, Jerry played everything on that album and "the wheel", except drums.
	1:37pm chromaphone: WTF are you guys talking about regarding the Dead? Garcia is amazing but come on! Check out anything from '72, that band is telepathic and grooving. Personally, I wish they did more all-acoustic stuff.
	1:37pm Scraps: The Godchauxs were great, everyone else sux!
	1:37pm Parq: Stevel, remember when Bruce was the "new Bob Dylan"? So were several other people, possibly including Waits. Elliott Murphy cracked that he was going to form a "New Bob Dylan Club".
	1:38pm doctorjazz: You're kidding about the Godchaux's, no?
	1:39pm Lewis: Thanks UM - I do really like this song! (and I always forget about the weird intro)
	1:39pm Stevel: Parq: Oh yeah, now that you mention it. I think that was the crux of the thread, that male singer/songwriters had nothing to seek but Dylan's mantle.
	1:39pm Scraps: .............................................yes.
	1:40pm coelacanth: i just can't stand weir. never could. still can't. -and the addition of piano to their music was the beginning of the end, in my opinion.
	1:40pm Scraps: Oh! I didn't think about Have Moicy! Oh well, next all-request game.
	1:42pm Scraps: (the "...yes" was answering doctorjazz.)
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: Not going to enter the Dead debate just to say that Workingmans Dead & American Beauty are timeless in the same way as The Bands' early albums.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: Garcia was always the main focus for me as well, could definitely live without Bob Weir. Though Lesh was a major part of the shifting, improvisatory sound, wouldn't be them without him.
	1:43pm speedoman: THANK YOU UNCLE MICHAEL!
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: The Mercury Rev sounds different to the album.
	1:44pm annie: agreed, BrianUK.
	1:44pm Scraps: @Brian in UK: I agree, agree, agree.
	1:44pm doctorjazz: Garcia could fit in with country music and with Ornette...not too many out there that could do that.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Peel Session
	🛒 1:46pm Brian in UK: Jerry Garcia was a Lord Buckley fan. Nuff said.
	1:46pm chromaphone: I love the piano (until they started using crappy synth sounds that is) and Lesh is great and Weir wrote some great tunes and the drums are groovin and pig pen had soul and... For me the beginning of the end is whatever drugs and album producers they were using in the mid 70s. Brian in UK, yes classic albums, although as everyone knows the Dead really shone when playing live.
	1:46pm hyde: heh, i missed the Dead debate. all i can say is i loved them in high school, went to a couple shows (Lewiston was good) and then i went to college and all my Dead LPs got broken. I had Ace, too, but that one i think i sold.
	1:46pm Scraps: Mmm, I like Garcia, I really like Ornette, and they didn't work together (IMGDO)
	1:47pm coelacanth: sweet
	1:47pm hyde: this is soooo good.
	1:48pm holland oats: ...OR new counter intuits OR new lemon twigs
	1:49pm speedoman: It's the Peel Sessions version of Everlasting Arm. A bit less precious than the album version. I like it.
	1:50pm Scraps: this is fun, both the music and the conversation. Thank you, Uncle Michael!
	1:50pm doctorjazz: Don't know this Hot Chocolate tune, it's great!
	1:50pm Scraps: Ah, Beefheart!
	1:50pm holland oats: OR new 75 dollar bill. (i'll shut up now.)
	1:50pm speedoman: ...as Uncle Michael mentioned a few comments down. oops
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Great Beefheart, really channeling Wolf!
	1:51pm annie: poor old holy model rounders, left at the wayside .
	1:51pm Parq: DocJazz, isn't it? I stumbled onto it on a music blog years ago. What a killer, huh?
	1:52pm Scraps: @annie, we will pick them up the next time through!
	1:53pm coelacanth: Thanks! but, something's wrong! double tracking or something.
	1:53pm Jeff Golick: So many instantly recognizable voices in this set.
	1:54pm Scraps: sounds good from here
	1:54pm coelacanth: (i think it's okay now... or maybe a different mix than that i know)
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Not hearing what you're hearing, coelacanth. This is the mono mix.
	1:54pm holland oats: best psych album of all times
	1:54pm Parq: The Captain reminds me, the recent Blast of Hot Air linked to this cool page: dangerousminds.net...
	1:55pm annie: oh, good....thanks scraps..
	1:59pm Scraps: This songs always makes me laugh
	1:59pm rf: Shake Hands With Beef
	1:59pm Alex In Illinois: This Iggy Pop song and a tune by the Bar-Kays seem to have the same groove, and I always wanted to hear one right after the other.
	2:00pm Jeff Golick: So many instantly recognizable voices in this set.
	2:00pm Rich in Washington: Something by Robyn Hitchcock would be fab. Suprise me/us. Thanks, UM!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: That's great, the Bar-Kays sound didn't jump out until you mentioned it, Alex, cool.
	2:01pm V Priceless: super-fun show, Uncle M! Thanx for rolling with it! I imagine it's not that easy putting this together on the fly! Bravo!
	2:04pm JP from KC: AWW MAN! I had to step out of the office literally right before you played Iggy! Story of my life. I'll catch it in the archives.
	2:05pm rf: I forgot "please"... sorry
	2:05pm annie: JP from KC, that is why i'm sitting still.
	2:06pm holland oats: yay! thx
	2:06pm annie: ...aaand, there's the snow.
	2:06pm JP from KC: I really should have. Thanks for the dedication and shout-out, UM.
	2:08pm doctorjazz: @JP from KC...I did the same when my Withered and Died request came on early in the show, went to one of the streaming services (TIDAL) while credits were being given between sets to hear it.
	2:09pm Doug Schulkind: I love that you are using requested tracks as talkover music. Very satisfying.
	2:09pm Scraps: Yeah, I stepped out when UM played Better Off Dead. I used to have a blog where I played one song a day, and when came time to play Withers, Better Off Dead was the one I played....poot. But I will listen to this at least once more!
	2:10pm KevinfromBayRidge: TankQ, UNC. Once again, my tardiness is rewarded!
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM!
	2:11pm Scraps: a great Hitchcock song -- yay!
	2:14pm rf: scary seamless
	2:14pm ronzoni: am i too late?
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: If I've missed your first request, please tell me!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: no, Ron
	2:18pm V Priceless: !!
	2:18pm ronzoni: if i can still make a request, do you have "designated driver" by NRBQ?
	2:19pm Stevel: Alice's vocal in the West Side story section sounds a bit like Angry Samoans.
	2:20pm Andrew Waterloo: I spent all my Christmas card money on early Alice Cooper
	2:21pm ronzoni: ahahahaha
	2:22pm Gaylord Fields: Yikes — that was not the original version of "Don't Pull Your Love"!
	2:22pm chromaphone: and the original isn't even that great in the first place, lol.
	2:23pm chromaphone: It's on one of those Have A Nice Day discs.
	2:23pm Gaylord Fields: @chromaphone: Them's fightin' words — the original is pop perfection!
	2:24pm βrian: Good Lord. Now I'm sliding into a post-Indian-buffet food coma.
	2:24pm chromaphone: Lol Gaylord, ok ok I take it back.
	2:24pm Scraps: but Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds did the hit
	2:25pm burke: We really ought to hear the original now that you've taken the firm position...
	2:25pm Leonardo: Any chance of Share the Land by the Guess Who?
	2:25pm Rich in Washington: UM, your Have A Nice Day feature show a few years back prompted me to buy the whole damn set, put it on our common jukebox/computer and my wife and I used it as our remodeling soundtrack - it being the only music we can mutually agree on. Sadly, we're sick of lots of the songs by now, especially that Hamilton, Frank & Reynolds track.
	2:26pm ronzoni: yay, thanks!!!!!
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: @βrian: post-Indian-buffet food comas are the best, are they not?
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: @UM: You're doing awesome.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, Rich.
	2:28pm doctorjazz: Just got the NRBQ box, starting to check it out, somehow they have always been on to do list but never got to them.
	2:28pm βrian: Poor guy doesn't even warrant an adverbial suffix?
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: No need. We're still gettin' mileage out of it, sans a few songs. I've also supplemented lots of notable omissions.
	2:28pm Scraps: yes! i miss so much 8th street indian. my favorite cuisine
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: Now I'm waiting for the Rhino 80s box set to drop.
	2:29pm Ramblin' Ray: Thanks Uncle!
	2:29pm ronzoni: somewhere i saw the track listing for the NRBQ box - it seems like it was too heavily weighted towards more recent stuff for me
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: my pleasure!
	2:31pm Leonardo: Yeah!
	2:32pm Parq: Talkin'bout together, now.
	2:32pm Gaylord Fields: @chromaphone: Ha! That record probably never inspired that much passion before!
	2:34pm Lewis: Good Call Leonardo!
	2:35pm Jeff Golick: Whoo!
	2:35pm Andrew Waterloo: PiL!
	2:35pm Rich in Washington: I can't believe this album's 30 years old.
	2:36pm Scraps: I'm amazed that no one requested the Fall. ;-)
	2:36pm Jeff Golick: (Missed the talkover request, though. Curious to hear what it was all about - will recheck in archivia.)
	2:37pm Jeff Golick: THIS ALBUM IS THIRTY YEARS OLD??? JFC.
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: watched an amusing video over vacation - the original Pistols - who're now GEEZERS - wandering around London, commenting on everything. Lydon's bit is pretty funny - riding around on a tour bus yelling at passersby, complaining about the declining state of London metropolitan architecture.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: 31
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: I actually had "Cassette."
	🛒 2:38pm Brian in UK: Uncle, brilliantly handled. Here's to the next time. Well done.
	2:39pm Jeff Golick: Lydon and Kathleen Hanna would make a pretty good duo, I think.
	2:39pm Jeff Golick: Unless that'd be too much of a good thing?
	2:40pm listener james from westwood: There was a joint production of "The Wall" some decades back, late 80s or so, w/ various artists each taking a song. I forget who got "Run Like Hell" but I recall thinking at the time that Lydon would've KILLED on that track.
	2:41pm Andrew Waterloo: It's too bad they couldn't tour Album.
	2:41pm Wilson K: Another avuncular afternoon. Ahhhhhh.
	2:42pm 67tele: dont worry unk - we're not going anywhere; they have us chained up at work:)
	2:42pm doctorjazz: Been a barrel of fun, UM, thanks.
	2:43pm listener james from westwood: If "Maajun" = "Majoun," it's a Mideast hashish delivery system, if I recall my Burroughs right.
	2:43pm melinda: This is great talkover music.
	2:43pm βrian: I thought FMU DJs were just put in the DJ closet between shows.
	2:44pm doctorjazz: I'll catch the request this time, great.
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Work's gotta wait.
	2:48pm JP from KC: That Shatner track would be a great follow-up, here. Just sayin....
	2:48pm Andrew Waterloo: Robot Arms Apartments. Vacancy's for Robots and WFMU DJs.
	2:49pm Ramblin' Ray: @listener james: spot on - it is a tasty sweetmeat and Davy's was quite likely psychoactive. Full title is "Maajun (A Taste of Tangier)".
	2:50pm Scraps: ALL RIGHT
	2:52pm listener james from westwood: @Ray: Then that's it exactly; that's where WSB picked it up. (Still boggles the mind he lived to 83! Adamantine constitution, that one!)
	2:54pm V Priceless: wow - thanks Uncle Michael!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: :thumbsup:
	2:55pm Scraps: oh i like this Association song too
	2:55pm Lewis: That was really fun and captivating = Thanks UM!

	2:58pm Listener Robert: Darn, you're going to make me choose between sticking thru this one & switching to Monica!
	2:58pm annie: great show today UM, even though most of it was not entirely in my taste, the enthusiasm made up for it.. loved it!
	2:58pm hyde: nice closer! love this song. this was great, thanks so much!
