	12:04pm joe: That image is exactly how I felt about snow and one of the reasons I left the Northeast :)
	12:05pm northguineahills: That kid is a great metaphor for my life ;)
	12:05pm βrian: Why, I was just in Chicago this past weekend. Good music, good food, good folks.
	12:06pm dan: I hope this song isn't referring to Rahm Emanuel's Chicago, where there's 50 shootings in a given weekend.

	🛒 12:08pm Brian in UK: Two fingers of red eye, my home town.

	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Granny! Brian! Roberto! Joe! BiUK! James! dan! Jon! NGH!
	12:10pm dan: Trivia fact, Dennis Wilson was engaged to Christine McVie. They broke it off months before his death.
	🛒 12:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Uncle Michael! We all gather 'round for another exciting adventure together.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Everyone remain calm.
	🛒 12:12pm Granny Spicy Tuna: How can we remain calm when we didn't start out that way?
	12:12pm northguineahills: I'M CALM, I SWEAR!!!! ELVENTY!
	12:13pm βrian: Keep clams, and carrion.
	🛒 12:15pm Brian in UK: Was Canned Heat the American response to the British Blues Invasion?
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Listen to the Bear.
	12:16pm chresti: Hello again!
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: White boys were playing the blues over here before they heard your white boys playing the blues.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: chresti!
	12:17pm northguineahills: @βrian: That's how you attract vultures. I'm cool w/ them, but they poop all over the place...
	12:17pm northguineahills: @UM: My favorite Canuckstani blues band....
	12:17pm rw: Rock.
	12:18pm βrian: And they vomit as a defense mechanism. Ugh.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: NGH, Los Angeles still isn't in Canadia.
	12:21pm annie: they did not mention the "Loop" in that chicago plug. bummer
	12:21pm northguineahills: @UM: That's what angelenos want you to think!
	12:21pm david w: Yep, off the rails already. Hello Uncle Michael and all!
	12:21pm dan: A strange cover of a Kinks song.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: annie!
	12:22pm chresti: I wish Los Angeles was in Canada I love that Kinks song
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: strange. glorious. just adjectives.
	12:22pm βrian: Ah, Françoise !
	🛒 12:23pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Just reach into that jar of adjectives and slather them liberally.
	12:25pm chresti: I think Nancy Sinatra does that song, too (@12:21)
	🛒 12:26pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Nancy! Fare thee well!
	🛒 12:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna: (Wilson, not Sinatra)
	🛒 12:29pm Granny Spicy Tuna: That frog's been leaping around. Joe B had it yesterday.
	12:30pm chresti: Uh oh, have an elderberry-zinc lozenge, UM
	12:31pm northguineahills: During the winter, it seems like a quarter of the pop here is Canadian, can they give me honorary Canadian citizenship.
	12:32pm 23 Wolves: Ears on the radio in STL, uncle! Much love!
	12:32pm frenchee: Oh shoot, I missed Canned Heat? Hi Uncle Michael!
	12:33pm chresti: Elvis did blues
	12:33pm frenchee: RIP Nancy W.
	12:34pm βrian: For what it's worth: The last syllable in Françoise is pronounced like "SWAHZ."
	12:34pm northguineahills: I play in Fluxus/Situationist bands, it's not a reaction to anything outside reality.
	12:36pm frenchee: right you are Brian with a strange "B!" I didn't want to hurt UM's feelings by pointing out that he was masculinizing Françoise--a major feat!
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M & Dinklets
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: 23W! frenchee! Coel!
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: ...i dug that kinks cover before and now i see it's Francoise Hardy...of course i dug it!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Fan-SWAHZ. Got it.
	12:39pm northguineahills: Panacea, not to be confused w/ the noise/drill & bass uk group.
	12:40pm joe: My personal opinion is not that Canned Heat was a reaction but very lucky that they decided to play the type of music they did in the time that they did.
	🛒 12:40pm Franco Twinkie: Well put Michael, yes for a group of teenagers in a suburban garage in 1965, The Rolling Stones or Yardbirds might have been the catalyst, but these guys were of a different order altogether.
	🛒 12:40pm Granny Spicy Tuna: this is marvelously haunting
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Franco!
	12:43pm chresti: I know Nancy Sinatra did “Lies”— I’m just assuming she did “Who Will Be The Next One in Line”
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: The Brit blues kids had a "please don't notice we're white" thing going on and seem hung up on authenticity. The Butterfield band headed to left field fast...before there were hippies. And Vcanned Heat...they were just hippies.
	12:44pm chresti: The bird set—— super!
	12:45pm joe: I definatly feel there was a lack of caring of the outside "worlds" opinions as far as Canned Heat went
	12:46pm dan: I never knew there were so many little birds in music.
	🛒 12:47pm Franco Twinkie: I was very lucky to meet Korla Pandit at a drive-in movie theater in Azuza California. Into old age, he was still in character.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: That's terrific, Franco!
	12:49pm listener james from westwood: No mistaking Annie!
	12:50pm northguineahills: I love Korla Pandit. I dug as an Alabaman, he masqueraded as an Indian. He could tickle the organ ivories (phrasing?)
	12:51pm northguineahills: or was it MO, my brain is failing me....
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: maybe canned heat were hippies (whatever that is!) but the genuine passion of the blues (especially in Alan Wilson) made them more sincere, in my opinion, than some others who may've been trying harder.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: (...i didn't and wish i'd heard whatever was said during the mic break about canned heat)
	🛒 12:53pm Granny Spicy Tuna: So far, Panacea has delivered my favorite Little Bird.
	12:53pm The Oscar: All Big Bird set next?
	🛒 12:54pm Granny Spicy Tuna: TheOscar—ha ha! Yeah! Lene Lovich has a song by that title.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Oscar! "Korla" was from St. Louis, yes.
	12:55pm northguineahills: @The Oscar: Follow That Bird?: My favrorite part of that movie as a kid was when they showed a map of his wanderings, they only showed small obscure towns, not the large cities.
	12:56pm The Oscar: @ngh I should probably revisit that sometime. It was almost certainly the first movie I ever saw (give or take the time my parents took me to see Spinal Tap at the drive-in as an infant).
	12:57pm βrian: Edith Piaf would work in this context.
	12:58pm dan: The next song title you should do is "I Need You". Bands to include that title include, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Walker Brothers and The Who
	12:59pm northguineahills: @The Oscar: at age 9, I was already a geography nerd.
	1:00pm chresti: Coo coo Bird
	1:00pm βrian: I've always wanted a really nice globe. I'd especially love it, if I could zoom in.
	1:01pm northguineahills: is Neu Seeland taking over Sealand ?a favorite unofficial mioronation of mine).
	1:02pm βrian: A sprained tongue can be a real drag.
	1:03pm still b/p: Oh, just missed Benson & Hedges timing getting on here -- 1:01.
	1:03pm chresti: Again, elderberry-zinc. I find that a little coconut oil helps mouth irritation
	🛒 1:03pm Brian in UK: All tongues are unique.
	1:03pm northguineahills: De Stijl, a reference to the art movement, to bad the White Stripes album wasn't released on De Stilj record label.
	🛒 1:04pm Brian in UK: It was Meg White's birthday last week.
	1:05pm The Oscar: I have an inordinate amount of songs on my computer called "Psycho" from back in the filesharing days, all downloaded in case they were covers of the Leon Payne tune (a few were!)
	1:06pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, UM! They were polite and kind last time.
	1:06pm dan: This instrumental is what they should play when you're on hold.
	1:06pm Katya Oddio: Lovely
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: YW, Jeff...hey, everyone...it's Jeff!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Katya!
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: chresti coo coo is one of my favorite songs about a bird (or metaphorically about a bird)
	1:08pm northguineahills: I feel like we should get a Maya Angelou reference, "I know why the caged bird sings"/
	1:09pm Guido from Cologne: hello Michael!
	1:09pm still b/p: re: mouth irritation. Knocked on the neighbor's door a few minutes ago. Teenage son answers and from way he talks I'm thinking "Whoa...ss he stoooooned?" Well, wisdom teeth came out today. So not regular stoned, but floaty, slurry and affected. Do you have any singles by Floaty, Slurry & Affected?
	1:10pm bigplanetnoise: Howdy, howdy!
	1:10pm The Oscar: The Cockatielman Brothers
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: SBP! We are going to hear one Little Bird twice.
	1:11pm βrian: If tongues were detachable, you could just swap in your lingua franca, and converse with just about anybody.
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: βrian there's a song in there somewhere
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: BPN!
	1:15pm davefromtoronto: damn! i forgot you were on today.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: dave! damn!
	1:16pm The Oscar: This Brummels track sounds pretty Hazlewoody-- is it?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Ron Elliott wrote it, Oscar.
	1:17pm βrian: This is Jurr Jeff??
	1:17pm bigplanetnoise: That Sal V vocal...
	1:19pm The Oscar: Gotcha-- thanks UM!
	1:27pm Guido from Cologne: The Tielman Brothers were one of those wild instrumental Indonesian Rock'n'Roll bands that -based in the Netherlands- conqueered German Clubs in the early 60ies.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Guido! Correct
	1:29pm The Oscar: @Guido Oh man, that's where I've heard that name! There are some clips of them on Youtube that are INSANE.
	1:29pm Guido from Cologne: Live shows of those Indonesian bands were unlike anything people had seen at the time.
	1:30pm dan: @Guido From Indonesia to the Netherlands, that's an odd combination.
	1:30pm Guido from Cologne: They were largely forgotten. But i had met some eyewitnesses when I was working at a radio station.
	1:31pm βrian: Ketjap Rock?
	1:31pm dan: @Guido Going to their colonizer to make it big.
	1:32pm Guido from Cologne: Indonesia was a Dutch colony 'till 1945. A lot of musicians fleed repressions.
	1:33pm northguineahills: Does the Mighty Sparrow do a version of "Little Bird". @dan: Indonesia used to be a Dutch colony...
	1:33pm Jeff Moore: Enjoying these Little Birds! I like it when your theme pulls you into acoustic/folk/contemplative territory!
	1:33pm tate: great music to start my afternoon by
	1:34pm Jeff Moore: I have this memory of a Calypso "Little Bird" I used to hear in my childhood, but there's insufficient additional detail in there.
	1:35pm Jeff Moore: Oh, maybe NGH is on that trail...
	1:36pm dan: @NGH That suddenly came to me.
	1:39pm northguineahills: UM played a murmuration of little bird songs...
	🛒 1:39pm Brian in UK: We had a delicious Rijstaffel in Amsterdam many years ago.
	1:40pm Dean: Belafonte, Jeff M.? The Tradewinds?
	🛒 1:40pm Brian in UK: @ngh I'll be your starling, darlin'.
	1:40pm βrian: I still think Bluegrass needs more bass voices, generally.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	1:41pm Jeff Moore: ...and here I was expecting you to say "Bill Monroe". Maybe there's a Father vs. King dichotomy?
	1:41pm northguineahills: @Brian: ;P (it's a fave word of mine)
	1:43pm βrian: ... and it rhymes with susurration.
	1:44pm still b/p: That sounds a lot more like feets gittin' slapped than a shine rage being snapped.
	1:44pm Jeff Moore: I was a kid, and not paying super much attention to artists. For all I know it may have been a "novelty" recording my folks brought back from a Jamaica hotel's gift shop.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: sorry, folks
	1:44pm northguineahills: In my next rap career, I'll use that (can't do slam poetry worth ****)
	1:44pm still b/p: ...shine "rag"..
	1:45pm dan: Today's country music needs to be thrown in the dump and replaced by the old fashioned country music of the Grand Ol Opry.
	1:46pm dan: This Hank Williams song was in The Shawshank Redemption.
	1:46pm davefromtoronto: i like hank better with the drifting cowboys than the studio guys he recorded with.
	1:47pm Listening Out There: I heard that four-letter word. Now dialing FCC. One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy...
	1:48pm northguineahills: @Jeff: The Mighty Sparrow did "Yellow Bird", originally Haitian. Close enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Fuck the FCC. L.O.T.!
	1:48pm still b/p: Working on a spoofy thing that includes a version of Hank's Jambalaya and someone involved remarked that it's not "iconic" or really well-known. Oy, whattaya gonna do? And someone said the same thing about "America" from West Side Story. Oy yoy yoy.
	1:49pm northguineahills: UM can use all of Dan Carlin's "7 words" on GTDS stream.
	🛒 1:49pm Brian in UK: @LOT what is the 'hold-on' music?
	1:49pm Listening Out There: Oh, tsk. No coal in your Xmas stocking this year, UM....
	1:50pm Listening Out There: @still: Sounds like a case of "Their icons are not our icons," eh?
	1:50pm Jeff Moore: No FCC radio cussing rules for stream-only shows! UM could be working completely blue if he wanted!
	1:53pm northguineahills: Lazy Jim Day has the same accent as my mom. My Dad lost his WV accent, but not my mom. (I never had one, I was out of the state by the time I was two).
	1:55pm chresti: I think he does "Yellow Bird" @ngh 1:33
	🛒 1:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna: My sweetie is fondly recollecting our courtin' days because of that Lazy Jim Day song…
	1:57pm chresti: oops! nevermind-owe you a beer @ngh
	🛒 1:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna: My sweetie is now informing me that Lazy Jim's father was named Baldy Bill.
	1:58pm northguineahills: @chresti: I realized I had the LP w/ the eponymous name! Now I have an additional reason to see Cali again!
	1:59pm chresti: Lazy and Baldy!
	1:59pm northguineahills: well, not eponymous, but entitled, "Yellow Bird".
	2:00pm Asheville Jon: two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!
	2:01pm still b/p: @ LOT -- 'zactly. If someone's not familiar and has missed the not-small cultural footprint & persisting references and countless covers of a song, well, fine. But it's a reminder -- in both directions -- about characterizations and expectations...how we stretch individual experience to an assumed more-widely shared awareness or lack of it and what's in the brain-bank.
	2:03pm northguineahills: For the last 20 years, UPS wouldn't allow their drivers to take left turns (most hazardous turn), unless it was a dead end, so they would take multiple rights to their destination, They still do so....(well, they're supposed to). (UPS training in college)
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: How goes?
	2:06pm chresti: @still b/p tell them to be wise and know their culture
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:10pm northguineahills: There is many Caribbean folk songs from the mento/calypso/soca genres in the American pop song bool (Ie: the Beach Boys)
	🛒 2:11pm Brian in UK: Uncle monster sets today, bit like a good meal, by sets, first starters, then fish, then meat dominated. So, puddungs and cheese to follow.
	2:13pm northguineahills: UM is now Uncle Monster!
	2:14pm northguineahills: errr.. American pop song pool.
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: ngh that's interesting. i'm trying to remember a ups truck making a left onto a street and i can, but not where there's a light at a 4-way. so...do they also train them to not give a shit, and that 2 & 4 are interchangeable?
	🛒 2:15pm Brian in UK: @ngh, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no returns.
	2:15pm The Oscar: It's like the country Nurse With Wound List!
	2:16pm βrian: I've seen UPS trucks taking left turns recently, so they must allow some exceptions.
	2:17pm northguineahills: @coel: Basically, if you make a left turn, and get cited for a infraction or accident, you're terminated. I worked there in the regional warehouse while studying their routing algorithms in school (late 90s). Curious coincidence.
	2:18pm northguineahills: (studying for my undergrad)
	2:19pm The Oscar: "Oscar" is just uncommon enough a name that I still get that weird twinge when I hear it spoken out loud in pop culture.
	2:20pm northguineahills: Even more curious, my current office is a block for a UPS warehouse.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: i know they're pretty strict to enforce their rules. that's why i figure the ups policy is that it's okay to leave packages at the wrong address; within reach of thieves passing by; in rain; in snow; at the street end of a long driveway...
	2:22pm northguineahills: don't be a grouch.....
	2:22pm Mark Hurst: Great show today, UM
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Mark! Thanks!
	2:25pm still b/p: My father passed away a week and a half ago. Attending the wake was....the UPS driver who'd worked my folks' residential neighborhood route for a couple decades and regarded Mom and Dad as friends he really enjoyed talking to. I wonder if tighter time control of UPS drivers today ever allows more than a quick "hello" relationship.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm sorry to hear about your dad, s b/p.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: s b/p probably not as much. i'm sorry to hear about your father.
	2:29pm still b/p: Thank you, Uncle and coel.
	2:32pm Johnzon: still b/p my mail lady told me everyone around here calls her grandma... she also told me her christian name but I forgot it so I guess Im stuck calling her grandma. both my grandmas are dead so I guess Im cool with that
	2:32pm northguineahills: bloody fuck, still b/p. I have no words, condolences and hugs all around. mierde!
	2:32pm chresti: still b/p- sorry about your father's passing. I noticed you were missing from the comments, recently
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Johnzon!
	2:33pm Johnzon: that "kisses wrapped in paper" line sent me down a rabbit hole... I wasn't able to figure out if hershey's kisses were originally wrapped in paper but now I want chocolate...
	2:34pm northguineahills: (desk dancing....)
	2:34pm Johnzon: oh yea... condolences!!
	2:35pm Johnzon: Uncle Michael! Dare I say GReAT uncle mike! cause the show... is great today!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:37pm still b/p: Nearly 92, occurred suddenly, so no difficulties in treatment, care or family decision-making...like the difficulties everyone has experienced or heard about and which had been described to me -- the very morning of the day I got my own news -- by a friend going through it now with her mom. Thanks to all for the thoughts.
	2:37pm northguineahills: and yes, I can appalachian stomp clog, it's in my blood....
	2:37pm chresti: I likes the pickin' and fiddlins'
	2:39pm The Oscar: In case anyone doesn't know the story, Stringbean's end is as horrific as any in country music: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:40pm still b/p: Luv this clogging video every time I remember it and go back for another viewing. www.youtube.com...
	2:40pm northguineahills: @still b/p: Ughhh, glad there was a minimal suffering on your father or your part.
	2:43pm dan: I didn't know there was 20 ways to play a fiddle.
	2:45pm northguineahills: @still b/p: I've never did couples clogging. Wife is Mexi, took her 11 years to appreciate the music. I used to just do it in my room or porch/fire escape to the music.
	2:49pm northguineahills: I assume the Meridian Bros. are at 74 degrees W.
	2:50pm Listening Out There: @northguineahills: Clogging is between consenting adults only. I used to work with a Morris dancer...
	2:51pm Johnzon: this was from the first rock opera?
	2:51pm dan: I first heard Baron Saturday on a free Mojo Magazine CD sampler. Interesting tune.
	2:52pm chresti: Thanks Uncle M!
	2:52pm northguineahills: @Listener Out There: Fairport got me intrigued by Morris Dancing (the Liege and Lief album has a page about it).
	2:52pm davefromtoronto: that doesn't sound anything like the beatles...
	2:52pm Roberto: I haven't contributed anything of note today. I feel bad about that.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: arguably, Johnzon
	2:53pm Guido from Cologne: SF Sorrow is genius!
	2:54pm Jeff Moore: Jumping awkwardly back onto a way-earlier thread after running some errands... the "Little Bird" calypso song I recall is definitely distinct from "Yellow Bird", with which I'm familiar. Whole different melody and cadence.
	2:54pm Jeff Moore: Thanks for the fine show, UM!
	2:54pm dan: The Pretty Things are retiring after over 50 years as a band
	2:55pm Guido from Cologne: and all the other Pretties' stuff from that period
	2:55pm northguineahills: Well , I forgot to take lunch, I'll wait until I hear the Albatross.... (at least it isn't hanging from my neck)
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle M take care y'all
	2:58pm still b/p: Sung melody line reminds a lot of the BOC Godzilla, which came later.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: history shows, again and again...
	🛒 2:59pm Brian in UK: @still b/p thinking of you. Sounded peaceful which is the best we can hope for.
	🛒 3:01pm Brian in UK: Uncle, thanks hoping for 'Hello Mable' by the Bonzoes.
	3:01pm still b/p: Thank you, Brian. Thank you for the show UM. Always very happy when I get to catch some or all of it.
	🛒 3:02pm Brian in UK: Or was that Mabel, I'll repeat that!
	3:04pm Listening Out There: Thx, UM!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: bubye!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 14, 2018

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:04pm joe: That image is exactly how I felt about snow and one of the reasons I left the Northeast :)
	12:05pm northguineahills: That kid is a great metaphor for my life ;)
	12:05pm βrian: Why, I was just in Chicago this past weekend. Good music, good food, good folks.
	12:06pm dan: I hope this song isn't referring to Rahm Emanuel's Chicago, where there's 50 shootings in a given weekend.
	12:08pm northguineahills: Wow, this Dennis Wilson is a fave of mine!
	🛒 12:08pm Brian in UK: Two fingers of red eye, my home town.

	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Granny! Brian! Roberto! Joe! BiUK! James! dan! Jon! NGH!

	🛒 12:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Uncle Michael! We all gather 'round for another exciting adventure together.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Everyone remain calm.
	🛒 12:12pm Granny Spicy Tuna: How can we remain calm when we didn't start out that way?
	12:12pm northguineahills: I'M CALM, I SWEAR!!!! ELVENTY!
	12:13pm βrian: Keep clams, and carrion.
	🛒 12:15pm Brian in UK: Was Canned Heat the American response to the British Blues Invasion?
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Listen to the Bear.
	12:16pm chresti: Hello again!
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: White boys were playing the blues over here before they heard your white boys playing the blues.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: chresti!
	12:17pm northguineahills: @βrian: That's how you attract vultures. I'm cool w/ them, but they poop all over the place...
	12:17pm northguineahills: @UM: My favorite Canuckstani blues band....
	12:17pm rw: Rock.
	12:18pm βrian: And they vomit as a defense mechanism. Ugh.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: NGH, Los Angeles still isn't in Canadia.
	12:21pm annie: they did not mention the "Loop" in that chicago plug. bummer
	12:21pm northguineahills: @UM: That's what angelenos want you to think!
	12:21pm david w: Yep, off the rails already. Hello Uncle Michael and all!
	12:21pm dan: A strange cover of a Kinks song.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: annie!
	12:22pm chresti: I wish Los Angeles was in Canada I love that Kinks song
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: strange. glorious. just adjectives.
	12:22pm βrian: Ah, Françoise !
	🛒 12:23pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Just reach into that jar of adjectives and slather them liberally.
	12:25pm chresti: I think Nancy Sinatra does that song, too (@12:21)
	🛒 12:26pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Nancy! Fare thee well!
	🛒 12:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna: (Wilson, not Sinatra)
	🛒 12:29pm Granny Spicy Tuna: That frog's been leaping around. Joe B had it yesterday.
	12:30pm chresti: Uh oh, have an elderberry-zinc lozenge, UM
	12:31pm northguineahills: During the winter, it seems like a quarter of the pop here is Canadian, can they give me honorary Canadian citizenship.
	12:32pm 23 Wolves: Ears on the radio in STL, uncle! Much love!
	12:32pm frenchee: Oh shoot, I missed Canned Heat? Hi Uncle Michael!
	12:33pm chresti: Elvis did blues
	12:33pm frenchee: RIP Nancy W.
	12:34pm βrian: For what it's worth: The last syllable in Françoise is pronounced like "SWAHZ."
	12:34pm northguineahills: I play in Fluxus/Situationist bands, it's not a reaction to anything outside reality.
	12:36pm frenchee: right you are Brian with a strange "B!" I didn't want to hurt UM's feelings by pointing out that he was masculinizing Françoise--a major feat!
	12:37pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M & Dinklets
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: 23W! frenchee! Coel!
	12:38pm coelacanth∅: ...i dug that kinks cover before and now i see it's Francoise Hardy...of course i dug it!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Fan-SWAHZ. Got it.
	12:39pm northguineahills: Panacea, not to be confused w/ the noise/drill & bass uk group.
	12:40pm joe: My personal opinion is not that Canned Heat was a reaction but very lucky that they decided to play the type of music they did in the time that they did.
	🛒 12:40pm Franco Twinkie: Well put Michael, yes for a group of teenagers in a suburban garage in 1965, The Rolling Stones or Yardbirds might have been the catalyst, but these guys were of a different order altogether.
	🛒 12:40pm Granny Spicy Tuna: this is marvelously haunting
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Franco!
	12:43pm chresti: I know Nancy Sinatra did “Lies”— I’m just assuming she did “Who Will Be The Next One in Line”
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: The Brit blues kids had a "please don't notice we're white" thing going on and seem hung up on authenticity. The Butterfield band headed to left field fast...before there were hippies. And Vcanned Heat...they were just hippies.
	12:44pm chresti: The bird set—— super!
	12:45pm joe: I definatly feel there was a lack of caring of the outside "worlds" opinions as far as Canned Heat went
	12:46pm dan: I never knew there were so many little birds in music.
	🛒 12:47pm Franco Twinkie: I was very lucky to meet Korla Pandit at a drive-in movie theater in Azuza California. Into old age, he was still in character.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: That's terrific, Franco!
	12:49pm listener james from westwood: No mistaking Annie!
	12:50pm northguineahills: I love Korla Pandit. I dug as an Alabaman, he masqueraded as an Indian. He could tickle the organ ivories (phrasing?)
	12:51pm northguineahills: or was it MO, my brain is failing me....
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: maybe canned heat were hippies (whatever that is!) but the genuine passion of the blues (especially in Alan Wilson) made them more sincere, in my opinion, than some others who may've been trying harder.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: (...i didn't and wish i'd heard whatever was said during the mic break about canned heat)
	🛒 12:53pm Granny Spicy Tuna: So far, Panacea has delivered my favorite Little Bird.
	12:53pm The Oscar: All Big Bird set next?
	🛒 12:54pm Granny Spicy Tuna: TheOscar—ha ha! Yeah! Lene Lovich has a song by that title.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Oscar! "Korla" was from St. Louis, yes.
	12:55pm northguineahills: @The Oscar: Follow That Bird?: My favrorite part of that movie as a kid was when they showed a map of his wanderings, they only showed small obscure towns, not the large cities.
	12:56pm The Oscar: @ngh I should probably revisit that sometime. It was almost certainly the first movie I ever saw (give or take the time my parents took me to see Spinal Tap at the drive-in as an infant).
	12:57pm βrian: Edith Piaf would work in this context.
	12:58pm dan: The next song title you should do is "I Need You". Bands to include that title include, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Walker Brothers and The Who
	12:59pm northguineahills: @The Oscar: at age 9, I was already a geography nerd.
	1:00pm chresti: Coo coo Bird
	1:00pm βrian: I've always wanted a really nice globe. I'd especially love it, if I could zoom in.
	1:01pm northguineahills: is Neu Seeland taking over Sealand ?a favorite unofficial mioronation of mine).
	1:02pm βrian: A sprained tongue can be a real drag.
	1:03pm still b/p: Oh, just missed Benson & Hedges timing getting on here -- 1:01.
	1:03pm chresti: Again, elderberry-zinc. I find that a little coconut oil helps mouth irritation
	🛒 1:03pm Brian in UK: All tongues are unique.
	1:03pm northguineahills: De Stijl, a reference to the art movement, to bad the White Stripes album wasn't released on De Stilj record label.
	🛒 1:04pm Brian in UK: It was Meg White's birthday last week.
	1:05pm The Oscar: I have an inordinate amount of songs on my computer called "Psycho" from back in the filesharing days, all downloaded in case they were covers of the Leon Payne tune (a few were!)
	1:06pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, UM! They were polite and kind last time.
	1:06pm dan: This instrumental is what they should play when you're on hold.
	1:06pm Katya Oddio: Lovely
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: YW, Jeff...hey, everyone...it's Jeff!
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Katya!
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: chresti coo coo is one of my favorite songs about a bird (or metaphorically about a bird)
	1:08pm northguineahills: I feel like we should get a Maya Angelou reference, "I know why the caged bird sings"/
	1:09pm Guido from Cologne: hello Michael!
	1:09pm still b/p: re: mouth irritation. Knocked on the neighbor's door a few minutes ago. Teenage son answers and from way he talks I'm thinking "Whoa...ss he stoooooned?" Well, wisdom teeth came out today. So not regular stoned, but floaty, slurry and affected. Do you have any singles by Floaty, Slurry & Affected?
	1:10pm bigplanetnoise: Howdy, howdy!
	1:10pm The Oscar: The Cockatielman Brothers
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: SBP! We are going to hear one Little Bird twice.
	1:11pm βrian: If tongues were detachable, you could just swap in your lingua franca, and converse with just about anybody.
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: βrian there's a song in there somewhere
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: BPN!
	1:15pm davefromtoronto: damn! i forgot you were on today.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: dave! damn!
	1:16pm The Oscar: This Brummels track sounds pretty Hazlewoody-- is it?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Ron Elliott wrote it, Oscar.
	1:17pm βrian: This is Jurr Jeff??
	1:17pm bigplanetnoise: That Sal V vocal...
	1:19pm The Oscar: Gotcha-- thanks UM!
	1:27pm Guido from Cologne: The Tielman Brothers were one of those wild instrumental Indonesian Rock'n'Roll bands that -based in the Netherlands- conqueered German Clubs in the early 60ies.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Guido! Correct
	1:29pm The Oscar: @Guido Oh man, that's where I've heard that name! There are some clips of them on Youtube that are INSANE.
	1:29pm Guido from Cologne: Live shows of those Indonesian bands were unlike anything people had seen at the time.
	1:30pm dan: @Guido From Indonesia to the Netherlands, that's an odd combination.
	1:30pm Guido from Cologne: They were largely forgotten. But i had met some eyewitnesses when I was working at a radio station.
	1:31pm βrian: Ketjap Rock?
	1:31pm dan: @Guido Going to their colonizer to make it big.
	1:32pm Guido from Cologne: Indonesia was a Dutch colony 'till 1945. A lot of musicians fleed repressions.
	1:33pm northguineahills: Does the Mighty Sparrow do a version of "Little Bird". @dan: Indonesia used to be a Dutch colony...
	1:33pm Jeff Moore: Enjoying these Little Birds! I like it when your theme pulls you into acoustic/folk/contemplative territory!
	1:33pm tate: great music to start my afternoon by
	1:34pm Jeff Moore: I have this memory of a Calypso "Little Bird" I used to hear in my childhood, but there's insufficient additional detail in there.
	1:35pm Jeff Moore: Oh, maybe NGH is on that trail...
	1:36pm dan: @NGH That suddenly came to me.
	1:39pm northguineahills: UM played a murmuration of little bird songs...
	🛒 1:39pm Brian in UK: We had a delicious Rijstaffel in Amsterdam many years ago.
	1:40pm Dean: Belafonte, Jeff M.? The Tradewinds?
	🛒 1:40pm Brian in UK: @ngh I'll be your starling, darlin'.
	1:40pm βrian: I still think Bluegrass needs more bass voices, generally.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	1:41pm Jeff Moore: ...and here I was expecting you to say "Bill Monroe". Maybe there's a Father vs. King dichotomy?
	1:41pm northguineahills: @Brian: ;P (it's a fave word of mine)
	1:43pm βrian: ... and it rhymes with susurration.
	1:44pm still b/p: That sounds a lot more like feets gittin' slapped than a shine rage being snapped.
	1:44pm Jeff Moore: I was a kid, and not paying super much attention to artists. For all I know it may have been a "novelty" recording my folks brought back from a Jamaica hotel's gift shop.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: sorry, folks
	1:44pm northguineahills: In my next rap career, I'll use that (can't do slam poetry worth ****)
	1:44pm still b/p: ...shine "rag"..
	1:45pm dan: Today's country music needs to be thrown in the dump and replaced by the old fashioned country music of the Grand Ol Opry.
	1:46pm dan: This Hank Williams song was in The Shawshank Redemption.
	1:46pm davefromtoronto: i like hank better with the drifting cowboys than the studio guys he recorded with.
	1:47pm Listening Out There: I heard that four-letter word. Now dialing FCC. One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy...
	1:48pm northguineahills: @Jeff: The Mighty Sparrow did "Yellow Bird", originally Haitian. Close enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Fuck the FCC. L.O.T.!
	1:48pm still b/p: Working on a spoofy thing that includes a version of Hank's Jambalaya and someone involved remarked that it's not "iconic" or really well-known. Oy, whattaya gonna do? And someone said the same thing about "America" from West Side Story. Oy yoy yoy.
	1:49pm northguineahills: UM can use all of Dan Carlin's "7 words" on GTDS stream.
	🛒 1:49pm Brian in UK: @LOT what is the 'hold-on' music?
	1:49pm Listening Out There: Oh, tsk. No coal in your Xmas stocking this year, UM....
	1:50pm Listening Out There: @still: Sounds like a case of "Their icons are not our icons," eh?
	1:50pm Jeff Moore: No FCC radio cussing rules for stream-only shows! UM could be working completely blue if he wanted!
	1:53pm northguineahills: Lazy Jim Day has the same accent as my mom. My Dad lost his WV accent, but not my mom. (I never had one, I was out of the state by the time I was two).
	1:55pm chresti: I think he does "Yellow Bird" @ngh 1:33
	🛒 1:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna: My sweetie is fondly recollecting our courtin' days because of that Lazy Jim Day song…
	1:57pm chresti: oops! nevermind-owe you a beer @ngh
	🛒 1:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna: My sweetie is now informing me that Lazy Jim's father was named Baldy Bill.
	1:58pm northguineahills: @chresti: I realized I had the LP w/ the eponymous name! Now I have an additional reason to see Cali again!
	1:59pm chresti: Lazy and Baldy!
	1:59pm northguineahills: well, not eponymous, but entitled, "Yellow Bird".
	2:00pm Asheville Jon: two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!
	2:01pm still b/p: @ LOT -- 'zactly. If someone's not familiar and has missed the not-small cultural footprint & persisting references and countless covers of a song, well, fine. But it's a reminder -- in both directions -- about characterizations and expectations...how we stretch individual experience to an assumed more-widely shared awareness or lack of it and what's in the brain-bank.
	2:03pm northguineahills: For the last 20 years, UPS wouldn't allow their drivers to take left turns (most hazardous turn), unless it was a dead end, so they would take multiple rights to their destination, They still do so....(well, they're supposed to). (UPS training in college)
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: How goes?
	2:06pm chresti: @still b/p tell them to be wise and know their culture
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:10pm northguineahills: There is many Caribbean folk songs from the mento/calypso/soca genres in the American pop song bool (Ie: the Beach Boys)
	🛒 2:11pm Brian in UK: Uncle monster sets today, bit like a good meal, by sets, first starters, then fish, then meat dominated. So, puddungs and cheese to follow.
	2:13pm northguineahills: UM is now Uncle Monster!
	2:14pm northguineahills: errr.. American pop song pool.
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: ngh that's interesting. i'm trying to remember a ups truck making a left onto a street and i can, but not where there's a light at a 4-way. so...do they also train them to not give a shit, and that 2 & 4 are interchangeable?
	🛒 2:15pm Brian in UK: @ngh, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, no returns.
	2:15pm The Oscar: It's like the country Nurse With Wound List!
	2:16pm βrian: I've seen UPS trucks taking left turns recently, so they must allow some exceptions.
	2:17pm northguineahills: @coel: Basically, if you make a left turn, and get cited for a infraction or accident, you're terminated. I worked there in the regional warehouse while studying their routing algorithms in school (late 90s). Curious coincidence.
	2:18pm northguineahills: (studying for my undergrad)
	2:19pm The Oscar: "Oscar" is just uncommon enough a name that I still get that weird twinge when I hear it spoken out loud in pop culture.
	2:20pm northguineahills: Even more curious, my current office is a block for a UPS warehouse.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: i know they're pretty strict to enforce their rules. that's why i figure the ups policy is that it's okay to leave packages at the wrong address; within reach of thieves passing by; in rain; in snow; at the street end of a long driveway...
	2:22pm northguineahills: don't be a grouch.....
	2:22pm Mark Hurst: Great show today, UM
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Mark! Thanks!
	2:25pm still b/p: My father passed away a week and a half ago. Attending the wake was....the UPS driver who'd worked my folks' residential neighborhood route for a couple decades and regarded Mom and Dad as friends he really enjoyed talking to. I wonder if tighter time control of UPS drivers today ever allows more than a quick "hello" relationship.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm sorry to hear about your dad, s b/p.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: s b/p probably not as much. i'm sorry to hear about your father.
	2:29pm still b/p: Thank you, Uncle and coel.
	2:32pm Johnzon: still b/p my mail lady told me everyone around here calls her grandma... she also told me her christian name but I forgot it so I guess Im stuck calling her grandma. both my grandmas are dead so I guess Im cool with that
	2:32pm northguineahills: bloody fuck, still b/p. I have no words, condolences and hugs all around. mierde!
	2:32pm chresti: still b/p- sorry about your father's passing. I noticed you were missing from the comments, recently
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Johnzon!
	2:33pm Johnzon: that "kisses wrapped in paper" line sent me down a rabbit hole... I wasn't able to figure out if hershey's kisses were originally wrapped in paper but now I want chocolate...
	2:34pm northguineahills: (desk dancing....)
	2:34pm Johnzon: oh yea... condolences!!
	2:35pm Johnzon: Uncle Michael! Dare I say GReAT uncle mike! cause the show... is great today!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:37pm still b/p: Nearly 92, occurred suddenly, so no difficulties in treatment, care or family decision-making...like the difficulties everyone has experienced or heard about and which had been described to me -- the very morning of the day I got my own news -- by a friend going through it now with her mom. Thanks to all for the thoughts.
	2:37pm northguineahills: and yes, I can appalachian stomp clog, it's in my blood....
	2:37pm chresti: I likes the pickin' and fiddlins'
	2:39pm The Oscar: In case anyone doesn't know the story, Stringbean's end is as horrific as any in country music: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:40pm still b/p: Luv this clogging video every time I remember it and go back for another viewing. www.youtube.com...
	2:40pm northguineahills: @still b/p: Ughhh, glad there was a minimal suffering on your father or your part.
	2:43pm dan: I didn't know there was 20 ways to play a fiddle.
	2:45pm northguineahills: @still b/p: I've never did couples clogging. Wife is Mexi, took her 11 years to appreciate the music. I used to just do it in my room or porch/fire escape to the music.
	2:49pm northguineahills: I assume the Meridian Bros. are at 74 degrees W.
	2:50pm Listening Out There: @northguineahills: Clogging is between consenting adults only. I used to work with a Morris dancer...
	2:51pm Johnzon: this was from the first rock opera?
	2:51pm dan: I first heard Baron Saturday on a free Mojo Magazine CD sampler. Interesting tune.
	2:52pm chresti: Thanks Uncle M!
	2:52pm northguineahills: @Listener Out There: Fairport got me intrigued by Morris Dancing (the Liege and Lief album has a page about it).
	2:52pm davefromtoronto: that doesn't sound anything like the beatles...
	2:52pm Roberto: I haven't contributed anything of note today. I feel bad about that.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: arguably, Johnzon
	2:53pm Guido from Cologne: SF Sorrow is genius!
	2:54pm Jeff Moore: Jumping awkwardly back onto a way-earlier thread after running some errands... the "Little Bird" calypso song I recall is definitely distinct from "Yellow Bird", with which I'm familiar. Whole different melody and cadence.
	2:54pm Jeff Moore: Thanks for the fine show, UM!
	2:54pm dan: The Pretty Things are retiring after over 50 years as a band
	2:55pm Guido from Cologne: and all the other Pretties' stuff from that period
	2:55pm northguineahills: Well , I forgot to take lunch, I'll wait until I hear the Albatross.... (at least it isn't hanging from my neck)
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle M take care y'all
	2:58pm still b/p: Sung melody line reminds a lot of the BOC Godzilla, which came later.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: history shows, again and again...
	🛒 2:59pm Brian in UK: @still b/p thinking of you. Sounded peaceful which is the best we can hope for.
	🛒 3:01pm Brian in UK: Uncle, thanks hoping for 'Hello Mable' by the Bonzoes.
	3:01pm still b/p: Thank you, Brian. Thank you for the show UM. Always very happy when I get to catch some or all of it.
	🛒 3:02pm Brian in UK: Or was that Mabel, I'll repeat that!
	3:04pm Listening Out There: Thx, UM!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: bubye!
