	12:11pm Uncle Michael: David! mauri! May ;-)
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I'll post a link for that Playboys after the mic break.
	🛒 12:15pm Brian in UK: Uncle. Good work.
	12:15pm burke: Eat your heart out, Dion
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! Burke!
	🛒 12:18pm Brian in UK: Would love to have heard Scott sing: "You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips".
	12:20pm still b/p: I'm just glad to know there was a band that called itself The Moongooners.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: still b/p!
	12:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: A college friend was an assistant manager at the Kame-Apart in Atlantic, Iowa. On a visit there, we drove up to some bar in Fort Dodge. I wonder what's their flood situation this spring.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	12:26pm Roberto: Howdy Unc! Is there a theme to today's program?
	12:26pm still b/p: I had one drink on one occasion at the Fort Dodge Holiday Inn while passing through forty years ago. So....so, nothing. It was a one-drink-at-each-of-several-stops kind of thing on a few-hour trip.
	12:28pm joe: Or hosted the Daily Show
	12:28pm chresti: Hello Hinks and Dinks!
	12:33pm Listening Out There: I have been hinked. I have been dinked. I have been hinked and dinked...
	12:33pm joe: But have you ever been timed
	🛒 12:36pm Franco Twinkie: Sorry I'm late to class. I missed the bus. Devil Surfer? The Moongooners? Dracula & The Boys? I will now dutifully sit still and pay attention.
	12:36pm Listening Out There: Uh...
	12:37pm MayJillar: What's your background music?
	12:38pm MayJillar: Sorry, see it now. The Shanker.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: The Playboys release: sundazed.com...
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! chresti! LOT! Franco!
	12:40pm burke: Already there's that kind of baroque darkness in his singing.
	12:41pm joe: This definatly gives credence (but not proof) to the argument that some have that Jack may have been a bit more responsible for the wall of sound then Phil was. That although Phil came up with idea it was Jack's hands that made it possible.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: After that track, we're hearing the brothers in the UK, produced by John Franz.
	12:47pm Goyim in the AM: Scott Walker, the most completely WFMU artist of all time -- playable by Rex! Gaylord! Fabio! Michale Shelly! Diane Kamikaze! Fabio! And of course, Uncle Michael!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Goyim! Indeed.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: So good, Uncle Michael. This guy can't be remembered enough, not that idiot Koch-puppet former governor of Wisconsin. Not sure if you mentioned it, but the Bowie-produced doc "Scott Walker: 30th Century Man" is splendid. www.amazon.com...
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: crap
	12:55pm Roberto: Something's ferkakte here.
	12:56pm Webhamster Henry: I thought we were going to split off into isolated vocals for a second there.
	1:00pm joe: To Goyim In The Am's point just look at this cross section wfmu.org...
	1:03pm Pedro in Arlington: The Bowie-produced Scott Walker doc "Scott Walker: 30th Century Man" is also available through streaming on Kanopy, which is available FREE through many public and academic libraries. Get that card and watch: www.kanopy.com...
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Pedro!
	1:12pm Webhamster Henry: Eric Blau claims he was the first English translator of Brel tunes for his wife, Elly Stone, in a revue called O, Oysters!. Here's "Days of the Waltz", (Carousel, tr. Eric Blau) recorded by Patti Page, 1964. www.youtube.com...
	1:12pm doctorjazz: A hectic hi .
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	1:13pm Roberto: Was this the inspiration for Fish Heads?
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: My statement is merely that Scott was the first to release recordings of Brel songs sung in English.
	1:14pm βrian: I went to see the latest Brexit flowchart: "509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded"
	1:14pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Damn, these first four Scott albums.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:18pm bigplanetnoise: Hey and howdy - from the long road home!!!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Bob! Thanks for the track!
	1:19pm bigplanetnoise: Thank you for spinning it!
	1:19pm Webhamster Henry: I dug up that Patti Page because I remembered something about Blau's translation work in his book on JBIAAWALIP. I was suprprised to find a different translation out there! But Scott did great work with the Shuman translations of Brel, which are good and also often adaptations of Brel's original metaphors. "Marathon", for example for Les Flamandes.
	🛒 1:19pm Franco Twinkie: I can't help it, in my minds eye I see Scott on the deck of a tall ship in striped pants and tall boots blasting away in three strip technicolor.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Okay?
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Interesting stuff, Henry.
	1:23pm Goyim in the AM: This one is such a blueprint for the late stuff, including the Sunn O))) collaboration.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: "Play it cool, and saran-wrap all you can."
	🛒 1:28pm Franco Twinkie: 30 Century Man - Future folk music about cryonics?
	1:32pm The Oscar: For some reason, just about every time I drive out to see my folks with my iPod on shuffle, "The Old Man's Back Again" will invariably come on as I enter my hometown. After the fifth or sixth time it started getting really unnerving.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Is your dad named Ivan?
	1:33pm Goyim in the AM: The bass is likely, but not certainly, played by Herbie Flowers. Whoever it is, yeeeeeowww!
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklets
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	🛒 1:35pm Franco Twinkie: Duchess is a deceptively hard song to sing.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: I wouldn't attempt it.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: oh no
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: it's okay
	1:38pm Roberto: Oy vey again with the fakakte meshugas!
	🛒 1:38pm Franco Twinkie: We gave it a shot once and then abandoned it.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: (i mean, if it's the only copy readily available)
	1:46pm chresti: It's Raining has a buzz/hum that reminds me of a loud neon light /street light transformer
	1:48pm βrian: "Coy-tons," did I hear?
	1:49pm johnk77: great show again @um thanks for the reminder about kanopy.com signed up w/my nypl card# and pin they have lots of music docs:>
	1:49pm Goyim in the AM: A John Fogerty-style "coitains". Big wheel keep on toinin'.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: John!
	1:52pm βrian: A good shibboleth: "What's the number for time?"
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: S&V is a Joan Baez, Ennio Morriconeco-write.
	2:00pm Asheville Jon: hi UM! i really don't get the whole Scott Walker thing.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: That's ok, Jon.
	2:01pm Asheville Jon: i know. i'm trying, believe me, i just haven't figured it out
	2:02pm βrian: RIP, Agnès Varda.
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Things are about to get weird. That might help you.
	2:02pm Goyim in the AM: If you've just tuned in, Jon, UM is playing the best of a bad time in his career right now. It gets real interesting soon.
	2:03pm Asheville Jon: i've been listening since noon. :)
	2:09pm The Oscar: @Brian Ugh, yeah-- what a bummer week. She was up here in Boston just last year, but I was too late to get on the press list :(
	2:12pm rw: Hey! I also don't completely get the Scott Walker thing. I have been having fun listening all week and letting it grow on me though. Been in and out today but also enjoying the geek-out going on here!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: it has been kind of a geek-out.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	2:14pm frenchee: I love this show. Now Scott's sepulchral voice is lodged in my brain. thanks, UM, you geek real good.
	2:14pm johnk77: composers of saturday night henley+frey+meisner+leadon
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: frenchee! Thank you.
	2:15pm chresti: I agree @rw
	2:16pm Webhamster Henry: With Ken Nordine and Scott Walker's voices silenced, who's next?
	2:20pm rw: I do love a good geek-out.
	2:23pm chresti: Ranking Roger, left us a couple days ago
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: i didn't give Scott Walker the time of day until "soused". after hearing that i checked out every album of his and zeroed in on several of his later albums. ...but i've been enjoying the earlier stuff this week too (but not "no regrets"! -cheesy 80s blah)
	🛒 2:24pm Franco Twinkie: This stuff is a peculiar flavor for sure. It helps to imagine a stage, procenium and drapery. Or if that doesn't work for you, a rear projection of a ruined city.
	2:25pm Goyim in the AM: This track is THE track for me, where the cheese and the heaviosity mix incredibly organically.
	2:25pm frenchee: HOLY SHIT this song suite is gawgeous.
	2:26pm frenchee: I need to go get some lunch but cannot tear myself away. Also, David Bowie ...uh...he liked Scott Walker, no?
	2:26pm The Oscar: Man, I can only imagine hearing this in 1978, especially if you'd grown up with the Walker Brothers.
	2:26pm chresti: Franco played something of his, a few years back, I was struck by the demented sounding production and his voice
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: yeah this shit's intense for it's time
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: hahaha!
	2:30pm chresti: I always blame cheesy 80s blah on record labels
	2:32pm Goyim in the AM: Billy Ocean's (yes, THAT Billy Ocean) harmonies on this are incredibly good.
	2:33pm Jeff Golick: Oh, 80s drums, is there nothing you can do to sound like...other period drums?
	2:33pm coelacanth∅: i guess to call no regrets "cheesy 80s" is a sort of compliment, considering it came 5 years before the 80s did. it's just not my cuppa
	🛒 2:35pm Franco Twinkie: I'm hanging on to all my records that suffer from production miscalculations. It's amazing how certain types of sonic stink can evaporate with time.
	🛒 2:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy Dinky! You're doing a very, very good thing, Unc.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Thank you.
	2:36pm Jeff Golick: This is the one I put on at home.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I don't remember a lot of complaints about '80s drums in the '80s.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: For the kids' lullaby, Jeff?
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: I think that Bowie's last album had a lot of Scott influence.
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: Well, they prefer the SUNNO)))) record for bedtime.
	🛒 2:38pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, Do people complain about food that makes them sick while they are eating it?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Bowie covered Nite Flights in 1993.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: People noticed how bad '80s drums sounded when '80s music started it's nostalgic return, I believe.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: chresti (@2.30) i don't! the masses jumped on the cheesewagon and even usually non-cheesy artists sucked in the 80s. (in my ever-so humble opinion!) ...and the non-Scott songs on nite flights are cheesy too, despite Scott's adventurous example.
	2:40pm Jeff Golick: @Franco: heh. Yes. We were as fish, swimming in gated reverb waters. We knew no better. Also: presumably the cocaine helped.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: motionless...for seconds at a time
	2:44pm Goyim in the AM: WHAT'S UP DOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCC........
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: i noticed 80's drums before the 80s, when they appeared; and i liked the gated thing; but the synthesized percussion on the cure's 2nd album turned me off for a long time. it was new and fresh - but i got very bored of syndrums and that gated sound pretty quickly. -far from the worst thing about popular 80s music.
	2:47pm βrian: There was even an 80s-era band that named itself after the drum machine: It Play
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Great Scott piece in the Quietus this week: thequietus.com...
	🛒 2:53pm nostrangerer: Ah, late to the gathering but in time for the mellow stuff. Thank goodness for the archive. Will do the whole show this weekend.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: nostrranger! Welcome.
	2:55pm Goyim in the AM: He was apparently thinking about doing material a band could tour with at this point in his career -- and you can kind of hear it.
	🛒 2:55pm KevinfromBayRidge: This show was a great way to totally blast into Post-Marathon orbit!
	2:55pm Alex In Illinois: I had a protein bowl for lunch
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: This last track will run past the top of the hour.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	🛒 2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks for your fresh perspective, Michael. The debate continues!
	🛒 2:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc,you have your OT authorization!
	2:57pm Jeff Moore: This show has been a monumental SW survey, complete with excellent annotation in the mic breaks.
	🛒 2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Amen!
	2:58pm V Priceless: stellar tribute, Uncle M - thanks!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! VP! Thanks, you guys.
	2:59pm Goyim in the AM: Yeah, this episode rules and will be used to educate others.
	3:00pm Jeff Moore: I remain doubtful about people routinely writing the stylized "Sunn O)))" for the band Sunn, but I guess everybody's doing it.
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks so much for the edumacation, @UM.
	3:02pm rw: Thank you thank you Uncle M!
	3:02pm still b/p: So good 'n substantial 'n worthwhile. Thanks.
	3:02pm Jeff Moore: I'm glad you made time to make it all the way to Soused! Not doing so would be like a Bowie survey without Blackstar.
	3:04pm Webhamster Henry: Check out Devon E. Levins' Morricone Island tribute to Scott Walker's soundtracks: www.wfmu.org...
	3:04pm burke: Phew! Never has Albatross cut through so much tension!
	3:05pm Webhamster Henry: The O))) is silent.
	3:05pm Goyim in the AM: I love the publicity pictures from Soused of Scott and Sunn O looking like an actual band together.
	3:06pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:06pm coelacanth∅: the band spells it "sun o)))" and , as the amplifier company it's named after, pronounces it "sun".
	3:08pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM!
	3:09pm Webhamster Henry: Excellent scholarship, Uncle Michael!
	🛒 3:09pm nostrangerer: Lovely lovely, thank you.
	3:10pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	3:11pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, UM! Really excellent.
	🛒 4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY !
	4:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Larry Grogan with some testimony to Scott Walker: www.wfmu.org...
	8:05pm mzzzzm: Thank you for the comprehensive tribute. Immersed myself, enjoyed it.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 29, 2019

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.

	12:16pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! Burke!
	🛒 12:18pm Brian in UK: Would love to have heard Scott sing: "You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips".
	12:20pm still b/p: I'm just glad to know there was a band that called itself The Moongooners.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: still b/p!
	12:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: A college friend was an assistant manager at the Kame-Apart in Atlantic, Iowa. On a visit there, we drove up to some bar in Fort Dodge. I wonder what's their flood situation this spring.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	12:26pm Roberto: Howdy Unc! Is there a theme to today's program?
	12:26pm still b/p: I had one drink on one occasion at the Fort Dodge Holiday Inn while passing through forty years ago. So....so, nothing. It was a one-drink-at-each-of-several-stops kind of thing on a few-hour trip.
	12:28pm joe: Or hosted the Daily Show
	12:28pm chresti: Hello Hinks and Dinks!
	12:33pm Listening Out There: I have been hinked. I have been dinked. I have been hinked and dinked...
	12:33pm joe: But have you ever been timed
	🛒 12:36pm Franco Twinkie: Sorry I'm late to class. I missed the bus. Devil Surfer? The Moongooners? Dracula & The Boys? I will now dutifully sit still and pay attention.
	12:36pm Listening Out There: Uh...
	12:37pm MayJillar: What's your background music?
	12:38pm MayJillar: Sorry, see it now. The Shanker.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: The Playboys release: sundazed.com...
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! chresti! LOT! Franco!
	12:40pm burke: Already there's that kind of baroque darkness in his singing.
	12:41pm joe: This definatly gives credence (but not proof) to the argument that some have that Jack may have been a bit more responsible for the wall of sound then Phil was. That although Phil came up with idea it was Jack's hands that made it possible.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: After that track, we're hearing the brothers in the UK, produced by John Franz.
	12:47pm Goyim in the AM: Scott Walker, the most completely WFMU artist of all time -- playable by Rex! Gaylord! Fabio! Michale Shelly! Diane Kamikaze! Fabio! And of course, Uncle Michael!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Goyim! Indeed.
	12:49pm Pedro in Arlington: So good, Uncle Michael. This guy can't be remembered enough, not that idiot Koch-puppet former governor of Wisconsin. Not sure if you mentioned it, but the Bowie-produced doc "Scott Walker: 30th Century Man" is splendid. www.amazon.com...
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: crap
	12:55pm Roberto: Something's ferkakte here.
	12:56pm Webhamster Henry: I thought we were going to split off into isolated vocals for a second there.
	1:00pm joe: To Goyim In The Am's point just look at this cross section wfmu.org...
	1:03pm Pedro in Arlington: The Bowie-produced Scott Walker doc "Scott Walker: 30th Century Man" is also available through streaming on Kanopy, which is available FREE through many public and academic libraries. Get that card and watch: www.kanopy.com...
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Pedro!
	1:12pm Webhamster Henry: Eric Blau claims he was the first English translator of Brel tunes for his wife, Elly Stone, in a revue called O, Oysters!. Here's "Days of the Waltz", (Carousel, tr. Eric Blau) recorded by Patti Page, 1964. www.youtube.com...
	1:12pm doctorjazz: A hectic hi .
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	1:13pm Roberto: Was this the inspiration for Fish Heads?
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: My statement is merely that Scott was the first to release recordings of Brel songs sung in English.
	1:14pm βrian: I went to see the latest Brexit flowchart: "509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded"
	1:14pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Damn, these first four Scott albums.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:18pm bigplanetnoise: Hey and howdy - from the long road home!!!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Bob! Thanks for the track!
	1:19pm bigplanetnoise: Thank you for spinning it!
	1:19pm Webhamster Henry: I dug up that Patti Page because I remembered something about Blau's translation work in his book on JBIAAWALIP. I was suprprised to find a different translation out there! But Scott did great work with the Shuman translations of Brel, which are good and also often adaptations of Brel's original metaphors. "Marathon", for example for Les Flamandes.
	🛒 1:19pm Franco Twinkie: I can't help it, in my minds eye I see Scott on the deck of a tall ship in striped pants and tall boots blasting away in three strip technicolor.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Okay?
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Interesting stuff, Henry.
	1:23pm Goyim in the AM: This one is such a blueprint for the late stuff, including the Sunn O))) collaboration.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: "Play it cool, and saran-wrap all you can."
	🛒 1:28pm Franco Twinkie: 30 Century Man - Future folk music about cryonics?
	1:32pm The Oscar: For some reason, just about every time I drive out to see my folks with my iPod on shuffle, "The Old Man's Back Again" will invariably come on as I enter my hometown. After the fifth or sixth time it started getting really unnerving.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Is your dad named Ivan?
	1:33pm Goyim in the AM: The bass is likely, but not certainly, played by Herbie Flowers. Whoever it is, yeeeeeowww!
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklets
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	🛒 1:35pm Franco Twinkie: Duchess is a deceptively hard song to sing.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: I wouldn't attempt it.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: oh no
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: it's okay
	1:38pm Roberto: Oy vey again with the fakakte meshugas!
	🛒 1:38pm Franco Twinkie: We gave it a shot once and then abandoned it.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: (i mean, if it's the only copy readily available)
	1:46pm chresti: It's Raining has a buzz/hum that reminds me of a loud neon light /street light transformer
	1:48pm βrian: "Coy-tons," did I hear?
	1:49pm johnk77: great show again @um thanks for the reminder about kanopy.com signed up w/my nypl card# and pin they have lots of music docs:>
	1:49pm Goyim in the AM: A John Fogerty-style "coitains". Big wheel keep on toinin'.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: John!
	1:52pm βrian: A good shibboleth: "What's the number for time?"
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: S&V is a Joan Baez, Ennio Morriconeco-write.
	2:00pm Asheville Jon: hi UM! i really don't get the whole Scott Walker thing.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: That's ok, Jon.
	2:01pm Asheville Jon: i know. i'm trying, believe me, i just haven't figured it out
	2:02pm βrian: RIP, Agnès Varda.
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Things are about to get weird. That might help you.
	2:02pm Goyim in the AM: If you've just tuned in, Jon, UM is playing the best of a bad time in his career right now. It gets real interesting soon.
	2:03pm Asheville Jon: i've been listening since noon. :)
	2:09pm The Oscar: @Brian Ugh, yeah-- what a bummer week. She was up here in Boston just last year, but I was too late to get on the press list :(
	2:12pm rw: Hey! I also don't completely get the Scott Walker thing. I have been having fun listening all week and letting it grow on me though. Been in and out today but also enjoying the geek-out going on here!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: it has been kind of a geek-out.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	2:14pm frenchee: I love this show. Now Scott's sepulchral voice is lodged in my brain. thanks, UM, you geek real good.
	2:14pm johnk77: composers of saturday night henley+frey+meisner+leadon
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: frenchee! Thank you.
	2:15pm chresti: I agree @rw
	2:16pm Webhamster Henry: With Ken Nordine and Scott Walker's voices silenced, who's next?
	2:20pm rw: I do love a good geek-out.
	2:23pm chresti: Ranking Roger, left us a couple days ago
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: i didn't give Scott Walker the time of day until "soused". after hearing that i checked out every album of his and zeroed in on several of his later albums. ...but i've been enjoying the earlier stuff this week too (but not "no regrets"! -cheesy 80s blah)
	🛒 2:24pm Franco Twinkie: This stuff is a peculiar flavor for sure. It helps to imagine a stage, procenium and drapery. Or if that doesn't work for you, a rear projection of a ruined city.
	2:25pm Goyim in the AM: This track is THE track for me, where the cheese and the heaviosity mix incredibly organically.
	2:25pm frenchee: HOLY SHIT this song suite is gawgeous.
	2:26pm frenchee: I need to go get some lunch but cannot tear myself away. Also, David Bowie ...uh...he liked Scott Walker, no?
	2:26pm The Oscar: Man, I can only imagine hearing this in 1978, especially if you'd grown up with the Walker Brothers.
	2:26pm chresti: Franco played something of his, a few years back, I was struck by the demented sounding production and his voice
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: yeah this shit's intense for it's time
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: hahaha!
	2:30pm chresti: I always blame cheesy 80s blah on record labels
	2:32pm Goyim in the AM: Billy Ocean's (yes, THAT Billy Ocean) harmonies on this are incredibly good.
	2:33pm Jeff Golick: Oh, 80s drums, is there nothing you can do to sound like...other period drums?
	2:33pm coelacanth∅: i guess to call no regrets "cheesy 80s" is a sort of compliment, considering it came 5 years before the 80s did. it's just not my cuppa
	🛒 2:35pm Franco Twinkie: I'm hanging on to all my records that suffer from production miscalculations. It's amazing how certain types of sonic stink can evaporate with time.
	🛒 2:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy Dinky! You're doing a very, very good thing, Unc.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Thank you.
	2:36pm Jeff Golick: This is the one I put on at home.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I don't remember a lot of complaints about '80s drums in the '80s.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: For the kids' lullaby, Jeff?
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: I think that Bowie's last album had a lot of Scott influence.
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: Well, they prefer the SUNNO)))) record for bedtime.
	🛒 2:38pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, Do people complain about food that makes them sick while they are eating it?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Bowie covered Nite Flights in 1993.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: People noticed how bad '80s drums sounded when '80s music started it's nostalgic return, I believe.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: chresti (@2.30) i don't! the masses jumped on the cheesewagon and even usually non-cheesy artists sucked in the 80s. (in my ever-so humble opinion!) ...and the non-Scott songs on nite flights are cheesy too, despite Scott's adventurous example.
	2:40pm Jeff Golick: @Franco: heh. Yes. We were as fish, swimming in gated reverb waters. We knew no better. Also: presumably the cocaine helped.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: motionless...for seconds at a time
	2:44pm Goyim in the AM: WHAT'S UP DOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCC........
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: i noticed 80's drums before the 80s, when they appeared; and i liked the gated thing; but the synthesized percussion on the cure's 2nd album turned me off for a long time. it was new and fresh - but i got very bored of syndrums and that gated sound pretty quickly. -far from the worst thing about popular 80s music.
	2:47pm βrian: There was even an 80s-era band that named itself after the drum machine: It Play
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Great Scott piece in the Quietus this week: thequietus.com...
	🛒 2:53pm nostrangerer: Ah, late to the gathering but in time for the mellow stuff. Thank goodness for the archive. Will do the whole show this weekend.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: nostrranger! Welcome.
	2:55pm Goyim in the AM: He was apparently thinking about doing material a band could tour with at this point in his career -- and you can kind of hear it.
	🛒 2:55pm KevinfromBayRidge: This show was a great way to totally blast into Post-Marathon orbit!
	2:55pm Alex In Illinois: I had a protein bowl for lunch
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: This last track will run past the top of the hour.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	🛒 2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks for your fresh perspective, Michael. The debate continues!
	🛒 2:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc,you have your OT authorization!
	2:57pm Jeff Moore: This show has been a monumental SW survey, complete with excellent annotation in the mic breaks.
	🛒 2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: Amen!
	2:58pm V Priceless: stellar tribute, Uncle M - thanks!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! VP! Thanks, you guys.
	2:59pm Goyim in the AM: Yeah, this episode rules and will be used to educate others.
	3:00pm Jeff Moore: I remain doubtful about people routinely writing the stylized "Sunn O)))" for the band Sunn, but I guess everybody's doing it.
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks so much for the edumacation, @UM.
	3:02pm rw: Thank you thank you Uncle M!
	3:02pm still b/p: So good 'n substantial 'n worthwhile. Thanks.
	3:02pm Jeff Moore: I'm glad you made time to make it all the way to Soused! Not doing so would be like a Bowie survey without Blackstar.
	3:04pm Webhamster Henry: Check out Devon E. Levins' Morricone Island tribute to Scott Walker's soundtracks: www.wfmu.org...
	3:04pm burke: Phew! Never has Albatross cut through so much tension!
	3:05pm Webhamster Henry: The O))) is silent.
	3:05pm Goyim in the AM: I love the publicity pictures from Soused of Scott and Sunn O looking like an actual band together.
	3:06pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:06pm coelacanth∅: the band spells it "sun o)))" and , as the amplifier company it's named after, pronounces it "sun".
	3:08pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM!
	3:09pm Webhamster Henry: Excellent scholarship, Uncle Michael!
	🛒 3:09pm nostrangerer: Lovely lovely, thank you.
	3:10pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	3:11pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, UM! Really excellent.
	🛒 4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY !
	4:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Larry Grogan with some testimony to Scott Walker: www.wfmu.org...
	8:05pm mzzzzm: Thank you for the comprehensive tribute. Immersed myself, enjoyed it.
