	12:20pm Uncle Michael: coelacanth∅!
	12:23pm melinda: I love ABBA's threads.
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: ha, the abba guitar dude has boots like Bootsy!
	12:30pm joe: Until July 18th of 1974 I was In Utero.
	12:31pm listener james from westwood: What a wild set of urban legends on that "Love Rollercoaster" track. The things that proliferated pre-internet.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Got link, James? Joe!
	12:33pm Ramblin' Ray: How how how
	12:34pm Dean: At least all pre-internet news was true. Too expensive to fib.
	12:34pm melinda: I was 3 in 1974.
	12:34pm joe: @dean you mean internet news isn't true? Wow I need to step back a second. :)
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: ...except for the rampant lying.
	12:35pm Dean: @joe: Either that or the whole "fake news" thing is fake.
	12:36pm ndbob: I was 22 in 1974
	12:37pm Dean: If I ever meet Peter Wolf, the first thing I'm going to tell him is that it's "must have gotten lost."
	12:38pm listener james from westwood: @UM: Here ya go: www.axs.com...
	12:38pm Mark the Sardine: Hi UM! Great show today so far.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Mark! So far! Dean! Thanks, James.
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: 1974 I turned 4. I still remember watching Nixon announce his resignation while I was with my family at the Friar Tuck Inn up in the Catskills.
	12:41pm Stanley: ndbob - you were peaking, man. I was 15!
	12:41pm Dean: A visual arts variation on the "Love Rollercoaster" legend: https://media.newyorker.com/cartoons/594d5e5d2b807c41693f8f9c/master/w_600,c_limit/170703_a20364.jpg
	12:41pm joe: Hey ya UM. Hey how could I miss this it possibly some of the first music I ever heard.
	12:42pm doctorjazz: This is great! Love this Derringer (saw one of the Winters do it back in the day).
	12:43pm ndbob: @James - I was a total Watergate junkie - even went to the ErvIn committee hearings once
	12:44pm 23 Wolves: I am gettin' DOWN in the kitchen with the Rock'n'Roll Hoochie Koo! Really swell. Happy Friday, Unc!
	12:44pm Wilson K: Dew Blay and the Entendres
	12:45pm joe: I thought he was going to say Freebird.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: Saw Peter Wolf last weekend, he was amazing! Boy, can he move!
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: 23W! Wilson!
	12:46pm listener james from westwood: ndbob: Whoa! At that age I initially thought the TV was talking about a dam!
	12:46pm Dean: Reading Farrell's new biography of Nixon these days. Plus ça change...
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: I enjoyed that biography. Huge amounts I didn't know about how he came up as a kid and a young pol.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: ...the last 'stones album before i lost respect for them.
	12:52pm ndbob: I really should read it
	12:53pm listener james from westwood: Ahhh, I was addicted to this "Entertainer" single in the bar/restaurant my parents used to take me to in the Bronx. Had to play this and "Band on the Run" each visit.
	12:54pm melinda: That's an interesting pairing, James.
	12:55pm hyde: hello!
	12:56pm ndbob: Heya hyde!
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: goats head soup is excellent; but could've benefited from better production.
	12:56pm hyde: hiya ndb.
	12:56pm Dean: I grew up in Whittier. Many of the references to Nixon's youth are quite familiar.
	12:57pm hyde: i sort of learned how to play The Entertainer on the piano in the 70's
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	12:59pm hyde: the Hudson Brohers with Captain Kangaroo www.google.com...
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Great fake Badfinger.
	1:00pm ndbob: whoa hyde!
	1:03pm Alex in Illinois: There was a video for the Train song that they used to play on Captain Kangaroo. I think it featured color footage of the Union Pacific Big Boy
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Yes, I think it's on Youtube.
	1:04pm Lane Gray: Not a bad song to come in on
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	1:05pm Alex in Illinois: I was 10 in 1974. Yes, I still watched Captain Kangaroo before school at age 10.
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: hyde! Great pic. my aunt was a producer, or something, for that show, and when she died a couple of years ago we found some interesting show paraphernalia, but no stills or promo shots.
	1:06pm Lane Gray: As the guitar swipes pedal steel licks
	1:07pm hyde: @coel wow! i loved Captain Kangaroo
	1:08pm melinda: That's really cool, Coel.
	1:08pm mauri: hey um! hey everyone!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	1:08pm melinda: Disco Tex and the Sex o Lettes! I have a disco comp cassette with this on it.
	1:09pm Stanley: Disco Tex!
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: hmm, i feel a little ashamed that i barely remember the show myself. i'm sure i never saw it after about 1967. i think Aunt Kay must've worked on it 'till the late 60s or early 70s.
	1:11pm melinda: I remember seeing Bob Keeshan on a different show without his wig and being shocked to learn that it wasn't his real hair.
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Both this and the Disco Tex? Used in Simpsons eps. (With, what, 600+ eps, I guess a LOT of songs could make that claim, but still, back to back!)
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: On Howdy Doody? That wasn't his real hair either.
	1:13pm Stanley: inevitably Abba
	1:13pm ndbob: I love Abba
	1:13pm melinda: No, it was later. Like a cooking show, maybe.
	1:13pm melinda: Me too. ABBA makes me feel good.
	1:14pm ndbob: Isaw Bob Keeshan when I was five - Baltimore's first mall had recently opened - and he appeared there
	1:16pm joe: Just another one of those mysteries that revolves around the enigma that is ABBA
	1:24pm Lane Gray: Am I wrong, or did the rhythm guitar opening sound like Chevy Van?
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: I can't check that for you now, Lane...but you might be right that it did.
	1:27pm johnk77: joni's lyrics inspiring a later book title star making machinery by stokes another great show today
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: John! Thanks.
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Interesting, at least to me: my semi has a coolant leak, requiring a half gallon a couple times a day. The warning bell just went off, in time to this Leo Sayer. Exactly on the quarter note beats. .
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: I'd pull over and check for Leo Sayer.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: Eagles, Station Manager Ken's favorite band!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Everybody's!
	1:36pm Marie: Really enjoying the show today, UM! Thanks! Have a great weekend :>)
	1:37pm hyde: all right, nighty-night
	1:37pm Lane Gray: No signs of a Perm under the hood. There's a shop appointment for Saturday, the boss gave us the choice of running our regular truck and keeping an eye on the water level or getting I'm an ancient substitute truck. So we pull over every 500 miles and check for Proclaimers and Bobby Bare
	1:38pm Sue P.: I hope Ken is enjoying the Eagles!
	1:40pm doctorjazz: I really like the Eagles as well, and that song is great! Ken has tirades about Felder/Eagles, couldn't resist the tweak.
	1:41pm Sue P.: @doctorjazz - same!
	1:44pm Goyim in the AM: These are only Spinners I care about. Damn kids! /old man yelling at cloud
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Sue P! Goyim!
	1:48pm Rich in NC: Hi Uncle Michael
	1:49pm hyde: i love this song
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	1:50pm melinda: I love Shame Shame Shame. "My feet want to move, so get outta my way!"
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Which, hyde?
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Love this Shame Shame Shame track!
	1:51pm hyde: this Shirley Goodman number. I love her in Shirley & Lee too!
	1:52pm hyde: i also confess a penchant for any song that refs the "diamond in the back"
	1:57pm hyde: i forgot that The Hues Corporation were in Blacula
	2:00pm ndbob: whoa - my two fave early disco records in a row
	2:01pm Marie: This song is like a part of my brain that hasn't been stimulated in a while! Lurve it!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: Now we're Rocking!
	2:02pm Lane Gray: This song reminds me of the 2008 (I think) NPR April Fool story on a R&B album about sex called "Motel Songs". One of the slngs: Don't Rock the Boat, Just the Little Man In It. "
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: All the <3s for the disco phase of the show!
	2:03pm joe: 770 WABC ?
	2:05pm doctorjazz: Either that or WMCA.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: One of those two.
	2:08pm hyde: this song has a different tone than that Eagles one
	2:08pm joe: wabc is my first radio memories
	2:09pm joe: that and there was an AM station that played 30's to Wartime era music that my grandfather listened to.
	2:12pm Lane Gray: Love some Lefty
	2:12pm Marie: Your show is like balm for my soul today. Thanks again, UM. Howdy everybody! Happy summer!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Did someone mention Bobby Bare?
	2:13pm doctorjazz: The wartime music was probably WNEW AM, I think.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Glad I can bee balm, Marie.
	2:15pm Lane Gray: Just like Roger Miller, I like Bobby better on his serious stuff (Dropping Out of Sight For a While is a GREAT song that nobody remembers)
	2:16pm jmd: Dang! Spooky version of LBV with a backbeat. Eeep!
	2:17pm Lane Gray: Her cousin is 8 bars late... (one if her cousins sang most of her harmonies, which probably helped that amazing blend)
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: jmd!
	2:17pm hyde: Sammi Smith was cool
	2:18pm jmd: Uncle Michael!
	2:18pm Marie: One of my fave Dolly songs. Lovely!
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Dolly just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
	2:19pm Lane Gray: I retract the cousin statement. I didn't look at the list, I was positive that was Tammy. Oops. Sammi Jewel Smith was amazing.
	2:20pm melinda: What a great song. I first heard it sung by an English folk group on Micah's show, was surprised when I looked it up and saw it was a Dolly song.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: I love this David Gates song.
	2:22pm Lane Gray: Dickey was better than 9,999,999 tears.
	2:24pm jmd: Who knew 1974 was such a rich year for C/W B-sides?
	2:25pm The Oscar: Country from this era has always seemed like the essence of summer to me. Which is odd, as I'm a lifelong New Englander who wasn't yet born at the time, but somehow the association is ironclad.
	2:30pm Stanley: Back from the pub, a couple of pints the better. Half an hour of Hinky left followed by Shelia B. It doesn't get much better than this. Time to rock? You betcha!
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	2:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Uncle Michael! I just tuned in. I notice you're playing all music from 1974. That's when I came out, too!
	2:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh look, this Golden Earring song was released five days after my date of birth...
	2:31pm Dean: Wanted to find a record for the guy who likes fake audience noise, so I hunted down laugh tracks at Discogs. No luck, but I did find this. Note the opening act. http://bit.ly/2tyBXzF
	2:31pm mauri: im hungry and thirsty on a bus. the show keeps me happy!
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	2:31pm Stanley: Haha Radar Love. Clay beat you to this, on today's morning show. Love it.
	2:32pm The Oscar: Howdyado!
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Doesn't Clay play it every day>
	2:32pm Jeff Golick: Golden freakin' Earring!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:34pm Alex in Illinois: Remember the Simpsons episode with Rader Love while Bart is driving? I think I saw the end of that one last night on FXX
	2:35pm The Oscar: @Alex It was indeed on last night-- so great! The song also features prominently in Baby Driver, which I heartily endorse if anyone's thinking about seeing it.
	2:35pm Jeff Golick: Man, Golden Earring was around for much longer than I imagined...
	2:35pm Wilson: Did guitar lead lines peak in '74?
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, they were around for ever but I have something in the last set by a band that gives them a run for the money.
	2:36pm hyde: @JG according to the wikipedias, all of the guys who are in Golden Earring now have been in the band since 1970?!
	2:36pm listener james from westwood: ELO!
	2:37pm Stanley: This track is so wonderful
	2:38pm hyde: yeah, i'm not the hugest ELO fan, but I love this one
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Gonna run a little long (these specials always do).
	2:39pm Alex in Illinois: In 1974, I think I still considered Country, Disco, Funk and everything else played on KSLQ to be "rock".
	2:39pm hyde: really, i like Eldorado a lot
	2:39pm listener james from westwood: Aaaaaaah, there's the other half of my youthful jukebox obsession! :D
	2:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh my goodness, this set is so excellent. It's like my childhood am radio has reproduced itself into my headphones. ELO! Wings! I'm bummed I have to leave in a few minutes to go interview a motorcycle shop owner. It'll be fun, but this is also fun.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Wendy, I've been doing a year-by-year, '70s thing.
	2:43pm Alex in Illinois: All of the members of Golden Earing are still alive! Amazing.
	2:43pm The Oscar: I like to imagine an alternate universe where Band on the Run was made into a movie starring the actors on the cover.
	2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: Good to know! I'll have to check the archives. I haven't been in the newsroom much on Fridays, so I miss the fun as it happens. But..archives!
	2:45pm Dean: Bingo!
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: Right, Dean?
	2:46pm Dean: Every time.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Scare ya?
	2:51pm Webhamster Henry: I posted this before, but here are the WFMU Worst Song Contest results for 1974 - the only year to be given its own category.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: 1974 is pretty wonderful. WFMU can kiss my ass.
	2:53pm Stanley: Go in funky and go out funky. That's good to me.
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the fine show, UM, on to 1975!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Three more songs...no flipping!
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Stanley: Great selection. Thanks Uncle M. (I love this show)
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the '74 grand tour, @UM!
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, guys. Just two more after H.C.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, look at how long Hot Chocolate's recording career spans.
	2:59pm hyde: nothing like Hot Chocolate in the summer
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: At least Emma's beau didn't gaslight the hell out of her like that "Honey" guy.
	3:02pm Spaceman One: Good to hear Monti Rock III again. I used to see him on TV talk shows as a kid.
	3:02pm Stevel: Muyh-knee!!!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Spaceman! Steve!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: ONE MORE SONG!
	3:04pm melinda: I think the Poppies number in the Wiz borrowed a piece of this.
	3:04pm Stevel: I was a major radio junkie in 1974. Listened via transistor while delivering the Denver Post. "Already Gone" was the NEW Eagles song.
	3:04pm Dean: Well, let's see, Metal Machine Music was '75, so I'm stumped.
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: For hyde....
	3:06pm hyde: YEAH! thanks Uncle Mikey.
	3:07pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM, for today and all of these excellent sonic yearbooks!
	3:07pm Uncle Michael: It's my pleasure, James.
	3:10pm burke: See you in a month or so!
	3:11pm Uncle Michael: Burke! BYE!
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: (belated) Thanks UM!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 30, 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.

	12:25pm coelacanth∅: ha, the abba guitar dude has boots like Bootsy!
	12:30pm joe: Until July 18th of 1974 I was In Utero.
	12:31pm listener james from westwood: What a wild set of urban legends on that "Love Rollercoaster" track. The things that proliferated pre-internet.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Got link, James? Joe!
	12:33pm Ramblin' Ray: How how how
	12:34pm Dean: At least all pre-internet news was true. Too expensive to fib.
	12:34pm melinda: I was 3 in 1974.
	12:34pm joe: @dean you mean internet news isn't true? Wow I need to step back a second. :)
	12:35pm coelacanth∅: ...except for the rampant lying.
	12:35pm Dean: @joe: Either that or the whole "fake news" thing is fake.
	12:36pm ndbob: I was 22 in 1974
	12:37pm Dean: If I ever meet Peter Wolf, the first thing I'm going to tell him is that it's "must have gotten lost."
	12:38pm listener james from westwood: @UM: Here ya go: www.axs.com...
	12:38pm Mark the Sardine: Hi UM! Great show today so far.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Mark! So far! Dean! Thanks, James.
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: 1974 I turned 4. I still remember watching Nixon announce his resignation while I was with my family at the Friar Tuck Inn up in the Catskills.
	12:41pm Stanley: ndbob - you were peaking, man. I was 15!
	12:41pm Dean: A visual arts variation on the "Love Rollercoaster" legend: https://media.newyorker.com/cartoons/594d5e5d2b807c41693f8f9c/master/w_600,c_limit/170703_a20364.jpg
	12:41pm joe: Hey ya UM. Hey how could I miss this it possibly some of the first music I ever heard.
	12:42pm doctorjazz: This is great! Love this Derringer (saw one of the Winters do it back in the day).
	12:43pm ndbob: @James - I was a total Watergate junkie - even went to the ErvIn committee hearings once
	12:44pm 23 Wolves: I am gettin' DOWN in the kitchen with the Rock'n'Roll Hoochie Koo! Really swell. Happy Friday, Unc!
	12:44pm Wilson K: Dew Blay and the Entendres
	12:45pm joe: I thought he was going to say Freebird.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: Saw Peter Wolf last weekend, he was amazing! Boy, can he move!
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: 23W! Wilson!
	12:46pm listener james from westwood: ndbob: Whoa! At that age I initially thought the TV was talking about a dam!
	12:46pm Dean: Reading Farrell's new biography of Nixon these days. Plus ça change...
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: I enjoyed that biography. Huge amounts I didn't know about how he came up as a kid and a young pol.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: ...the last 'stones album before i lost respect for them.
	12:52pm ndbob: I really should read it
	12:53pm listener james from westwood: Ahhh, I was addicted to this "Entertainer" single in the bar/restaurant my parents used to take me to in the Bronx. Had to play this and "Band on the Run" each visit.
	12:54pm melinda: That's an interesting pairing, James.
	12:55pm hyde: hello!
	12:56pm ndbob: Heya hyde!
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: goats head soup is excellent; but could've benefited from better production.
	12:56pm hyde: hiya ndb.
	12:56pm Dean: I grew up in Whittier. Many of the references to Nixon's youth are quite familiar.
	12:57pm hyde: i sort of learned how to play The Entertainer on the piano in the 70's
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	12:59pm hyde: the Hudson Brohers with Captain Kangaroo www.google.com...
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Great fake Badfinger.
	1:00pm ndbob: whoa hyde!
	1:03pm Alex in Illinois: There was a video for the Train song that they used to play on Captain Kangaroo. I think it featured color footage of the Union Pacific Big Boy
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Yes, I think it's on Youtube.
	1:04pm Lane Gray: Not a bad song to come in on
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	1:05pm Alex in Illinois: I was 10 in 1974. Yes, I still watched Captain Kangaroo before school at age 10.
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: hyde! Great pic. my aunt was a producer, or something, for that show, and when she died a couple of years ago we found some interesting show paraphernalia, but no stills or promo shots.
	1:06pm Lane Gray: As the guitar swipes pedal steel licks
	1:07pm hyde: @coel wow! i loved Captain Kangaroo
	1:08pm melinda: That's really cool, Coel.
	1:08pm mauri: hey um! hey everyone!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	1:08pm melinda: Disco Tex and the Sex o Lettes! I have a disco comp cassette with this on it.
	1:09pm Stanley: Disco Tex!
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: hmm, i feel a little ashamed that i barely remember the show myself. i'm sure i never saw it after about 1967. i think Aunt Kay must've worked on it 'till the late 60s or early 70s.
	1:11pm melinda: I remember seeing Bob Keeshan on a different show without his wig and being shocked to learn that it wasn't his real hair.
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Both this and the Disco Tex? Used in Simpsons eps. (With, what, 600+ eps, I guess a LOT of songs could make that claim, but still, back to back!)
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: On Howdy Doody? That wasn't his real hair either.
	1:13pm Stanley: inevitably Abba
	1:13pm ndbob: I love Abba
	1:13pm melinda: No, it was later. Like a cooking show, maybe.
	1:13pm melinda: Me too. ABBA makes me feel good.
	1:14pm ndbob: Isaw Bob Keeshan when I was five - Baltimore's first mall had recently opened - and he appeared there
	1:16pm joe: Just another one of those mysteries that revolves around the enigma that is ABBA
	1:24pm Lane Gray: Am I wrong, or did the rhythm guitar opening sound like Chevy Van?
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: I can't check that for you now, Lane...but you might be right that it did.
	1:27pm johnk77: joni's lyrics inspiring a later book title star making machinery by stokes another great show today
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: John! Thanks.
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Interesting, at least to me: my semi has a coolant leak, requiring a half gallon a couple times a day. The warning bell just went off, in time to this Leo Sayer. Exactly on the quarter note beats. .
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: I'd pull over and check for Leo Sayer.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: Eagles, Station Manager Ken's favorite band!
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Everybody's!
	1:36pm Marie: Really enjoying the show today, UM! Thanks! Have a great weekend :>)
	1:37pm hyde: all right, nighty-night
	1:37pm Lane Gray: No signs of a Perm under the hood. There's a shop appointment for Saturday, the boss gave us the choice of running our regular truck and keeping an eye on the water level or getting I'm an ancient substitute truck. So we pull over every 500 miles and check for Proclaimers and Bobby Bare
	1:38pm Sue P.: I hope Ken is enjoying the Eagles!
	1:40pm doctorjazz: I really like the Eagles as well, and that song is great! Ken has tirades about Felder/Eagles, couldn't resist the tweak.
	1:41pm Sue P.: @doctorjazz - same!
	1:44pm Goyim in the AM: These are only Spinners I care about. Damn kids! /old man yelling at cloud
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Sue P! Goyim!
	1:48pm Rich in NC: Hi Uncle Michael
	1:49pm hyde: i love this song
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	1:50pm melinda: I love Shame Shame Shame. "My feet want to move, so get outta my way!"
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Which, hyde?
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Love this Shame Shame Shame track!
	1:51pm hyde: this Shirley Goodman number. I love her in Shirley & Lee too!
	1:52pm hyde: i also confess a penchant for any song that refs the "diamond in the back"
	1:57pm hyde: i forgot that The Hues Corporation were in Blacula
	2:00pm ndbob: whoa - my two fave early disco records in a row
	2:01pm Marie: This song is like a part of my brain that hasn't been stimulated in a while! Lurve it!
	2:01pm doctorjazz: Now we're Rocking!
	2:02pm Lane Gray: This song reminds me of the 2008 (I think) NPR April Fool story on a R&B album about sex called "Motel Songs". One of the slngs: Don't Rock the Boat, Just the Little Man In It. "
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: All the <3s for the disco phase of the show!
	2:03pm joe: 770 WABC ?
	2:05pm doctorjazz: Either that or WMCA.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: One of those two.
	2:08pm hyde: this song has a different tone than that Eagles one
	2:08pm joe: wabc is my first radio memories
	2:09pm joe: that and there was an AM station that played 30's to Wartime era music that my grandfather listened to.
	2:12pm Lane Gray: Love some Lefty
	2:12pm Marie: Your show is like balm for my soul today. Thanks again, UM. Howdy everybody! Happy summer!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Did someone mention Bobby Bare?
	2:13pm doctorjazz: The wartime music was probably WNEW AM, I think.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Glad I can bee balm, Marie.
	2:15pm Lane Gray: Just like Roger Miller, I like Bobby better on his serious stuff (Dropping Out of Sight For a While is a GREAT song that nobody remembers)
	2:16pm jmd: Dang! Spooky version of LBV with a backbeat. Eeep!
	2:17pm Lane Gray: Her cousin is 8 bars late... (one if her cousins sang most of her harmonies, which probably helped that amazing blend)
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: jmd!
	2:17pm hyde: Sammi Smith was cool
	2:18pm jmd: Uncle Michael!
	2:18pm Marie: One of my fave Dolly songs. Lovely!
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Dolly just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
	2:19pm Lane Gray: I retract the cousin statement. I didn't look at the list, I was positive that was Tammy. Oops. Sammi Jewel Smith was amazing.
	2:20pm melinda: What a great song. I first heard it sung by an English folk group on Micah's show, was surprised when I looked it up and saw it was a Dolly song.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: I love this David Gates song.
	2:22pm Lane Gray: Dickey was better than 9,999,999 tears.
	2:24pm jmd: Who knew 1974 was such a rich year for C/W B-sides?
	2:25pm The Oscar: Country from this era has always seemed like the essence of summer to me. Which is odd, as I'm a lifelong New Englander who wasn't yet born at the time, but somehow the association is ironclad.
	2:30pm Stanley: Back from the pub, a couple of pints the better. Half an hour of Hinky left followed by Shelia B. It doesn't get much better than this. Time to rock? You betcha!
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	2:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Uncle Michael! I just tuned in. I notice you're playing all music from 1974. That's when I came out, too!
	2:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh look, this Golden Earring song was released five days after my date of birth...
	2:31pm Dean: Wanted to find a record for the guy who likes fake audience noise, so I hunted down laugh tracks at Discogs. No luck, but I did find this. Note the opening act. http://bit.ly/2tyBXzF
	2:31pm mauri: im hungry and thirsty on a bus. the show keeps me happy!
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	2:31pm Stanley: Haha Radar Love. Clay beat you to this, on today's morning show. Love it.
	2:32pm The Oscar: Howdyado!
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: Doesn't Clay play it every day>
	2:32pm Jeff Golick: Golden freakin' Earring!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:34pm Alex in Illinois: Remember the Simpsons episode with Rader Love while Bart is driving? I think I saw the end of that one last night on FXX
	2:35pm The Oscar: @Alex It was indeed on last night-- so great! The song also features prominently in Baby Driver, which I heartily endorse if anyone's thinking about seeing it.
	2:35pm Jeff Golick: Man, Golden Earring was around for much longer than I imagined...
	2:35pm Wilson: Did guitar lead lines peak in '74?
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, they were around for ever but I have something in the last set by a band that gives them a run for the money.
	2:36pm hyde: @JG according to the wikipedias, all of the guys who are in Golden Earring now have been in the band since 1970?!
	2:36pm listener james from westwood: ELO!
	2:37pm Stanley: This track is so wonderful
	2:38pm hyde: yeah, i'm not the hugest ELO fan, but I love this one
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Gonna run a little long (these specials always do).
	2:39pm Alex in Illinois: In 1974, I think I still considered Country, Disco, Funk and everything else played on KSLQ to be "rock".
	2:39pm hyde: really, i like Eldorado a lot
	2:39pm listener james from westwood: Aaaaaaah, there's the other half of my youthful jukebox obsession! :D
	2:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh my goodness, this set is so excellent. It's like my childhood am radio has reproduced itself into my headphones. ELO! Wings! I'm bummed I have to leave in a few minutes to go interview a motorcycle shop owner. It'll be fun, but this is also fun.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Wendy, I've been doing a year-by-year, '70s thing.
	2:43pm Alex in Illinois: All of the members of Golden Earing are still alive! Amazing.
	2:43pm The Oscar: I like to imagine an alternate universe where Band on the Run was made into a movie starring the actors on the cover.
	2:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: Good to know! I'll have to check the archives. I haven't been in the newsroom much on Fridays, so I miss the fun as it happens. But..archives!
	2:45pm Dean: Bingo!
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: Right, Dean?
	2:46pm Dean: Every time.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Scare ya?
	2:51pm Webhamster Henry: I posted this before, but here are the WFMU Worst Song Contest results for 1974 - the only year to be given its own category.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: 1974 is pretty wonderful. WFMU can kiss my ass.
	2:53pm Stanley: Go in funky and go out funky. That's good to me.
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the fine show, UM, on to 1975!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Three more songs...no flipping!
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Stanley: Great selection. Thanks Uncle M. (I love this show)
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the '74 grand tour, @UM!
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, guys. Just two more after H.C.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, look at how long Hot Chocolate's recording career spans.
	2:59pm hyde: nothing like Hot Chocolate in the summer
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: At least Emma's beau didn't gaslight the hell out of her like that "Honey" guy.
	3:02pm Spaceman One: Good to hear Monti Rock III again. I used to see him on TV talk shows as a kid.
	3:02pm Stevel: Muyh-knee!!!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Spaceman! Steve!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: ONE MORE SONG!
	3:04pm melinda: I think the Poppies number in the Wiz borrowed a piece of this.
	3:04pm Stevel: I was a major radio junkie in 1974. Listened via transistor while delivering the Denver Post. "Already Gone" was the NEW Eagles song.
	3:04pm Dean: Well, let's see, Metal Machine Music was '75, so I'm stumped.
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: For hyde....
	3:06pm hyde: YEAH! thanks Uncle Mikey.
	3:07pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM, for today and all of these excellent sonic yearbooks!
	3:07pm Uncle Michael: It's my pleasure, James.
	3:10pm burke: See you in a month or so!
	3:11pm Uncle Michael: Burke! BYE!
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: (belated) Thanks UM!
