	3:20pm Uncle Michael: All of the so-called Calypso at this party is really Mento. Calypso as a term had market penetration and was leveraged to shift units.

	3:57pm Uncle Michael: Bas, do I understand that you're Utrecht?
	3:58pm geezerette: Althea & Donna pon the floor ! Sister Nancy knockin' me out!
	3:59pm Bas NL: Yes UM; somewhat in the middle of The Netherlands. Big up for Althia & Donna!
	3:59pm steveL: Rarely! Just referring to fucking Fleetwood Mac! How’s life in your flatlands?
	🛒 3:59pm WR: I was not going to skank in the street and the you pull out Althea & Donna. There are no guilty pleasures.
	4:00pm Uncle Michael: I've been to your city. I was in the Netherlands in 2004. It's damp today, Steve. Skank away, WR.
	4:02pm Bas NL: @UM Hey! I think you're the third WFMU DJ telling me they've been to Utrecht! Did you visit the huge record fair?
	4:03pm Uncle Michael: No, wrong time of the year. I think we slept there the night before or after we went to see the bridge at Arnhem.
	4:07pm Bas NL: That's a place of true heroic history.
	4:10pm Uncle Michael: That's why we went. We went to the museum in Hartenstein and to the military cemetery too.
	4:11pm listener Rey: that was kinda dirty..I kept expecting to hear Ken's goat alarm
	4:12pm Uncle Michael: no goats here, Rey
	4:14pm Uncle Michael: Bongo Herman and the Staples both ripped off The Liquidator.
	4:14pm listener Rey: Not even the curried kind? Would go real nice with this music
	4:14pm Uncle Michael: Rey, I have something very special for you later.
	4:15pm doctorjazz: Missed a bit, back to dance!
	4:16pm chresti: I visited Amsterdam, in the early 90s, space cakes.
	🛒 4:17pm Franco Twinkie: I hurt my knee last week so I cannot fully participate in the dance party which is a goddamned shame because I would love to jump around with a bottle of Red Stripe in my hand and a big fat joint in my mouth.
	4:18pm Uncle Michael: just roll around on the floor, Franco
	4:18pm Bas NL: Ha, ha... Now that makes you heroic, Chresti! ;)
	4:19pm Uncle Michael: I still have the ashtrays I stole from the Grand Amsterdam hotel. It's 600 year-old convent...converted.
	4:21pm chresti: Space cakes and the flower market, were the highlights of that trip.
	4:21pm chresti: Wow,, UM! score!
	4:22pm Uncle Michael: We knew someone so we got a private tour of the flower auction.
	4:23pm Jeff Moore: "Shame and Scandal" was a big favorite song of mine as a little kid, following a family trip to Jamaica. I thought it was the funniest thing. It may just possibly have gotten on the nerves of my parents.
	4:24pm Uncle Michael: She's your sister but your mama don't know. Jeff!
	4:24pm chresti: I love Prince Buster's version of Take it Easy.
	4:25pm Bas NL: Had a fantastic dinner at the Grand once.. very stylish! And now you mentioned it; not many ashtrays there! ;) The flower auction's currently handing out flowers for free. There's hardly any trade at the moment.
	4:26pm chresti: Champs Elysees ( is Prince Buster's version)
	4:27pm chresti: Granny! Your song!
	4:27pm Uncle Michael: My favorite meal in Amsterdam was at de Kas.
	4:28pm Jeff Moore: @UM: See also a Mike Cross song on the same theme (was it "Uncle Josh"?)
	4:28pm Doug Schulkind: I just installed a new router. I got it for free from Verizon. May connection is not more than 10 times faster, and my bill went down by $30 a month. All because I'm an idiot and was perfectly happy with my situation and ignored all the offers to upgrade. Did I mention that I'm an idiot. But your music doesn't seem any faster, Uncle Michael.
	4:28pm steveL: Slippery People-ish.
	4:29pm Michael 98145: Liquidator!!
	4:29pm Jeff Moore: @Doug: you were inspired by the Internet speed test result I emailed! ...or not.
	4:30pm Uncle Michael: Doug retires his 56kbaud modem.
	4:30pm Bas NL: De Kas is renowned! I've never had the pleasure, i'm afraid...
	4:30pm johnk77: only time i was lucky enough to be on a tour that went to utrecht venue was muziekcentrum-vredenburg wikipedia say they built a new venue around the old main hall interior?
	4:31pm Stanley: Yay! The Liquidator. South London fairground, skins, rude boys and excitment for this 10 year old!
	4:31pm chresti: Doug, sounds familiar, I often neglect to watch for ways to game the tech overlords.
	4:31pm Jeff Moore: 56K was the cat's meow back in the day! From cat's meow to dog's dinner?
	4:31pm Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Moore That would have been the rational explanation. Mostly I was inspired by my wife complaining bitterly about not getting the wifi in her office or the backyard. When I called Verizon to ask about a wifi extender or a web-network (whatever that means), the explained that my 10-year-old contract and set-up were horribly outdated and costing me unnecessarily.
	4:32pm steveL: Perhaps I’ve realized the theme of this set
	4:33pm Uncle Michael: My favorite nerd game. Jeff, what was your slowest modem?
	4:33pm Uncle Michael: theme?
	4:33pm Jeff Moore: Sounds like you've already taken care of all the family WiFi issues; if you hadn't, I would suggest my favorite brand of mildly over-the-top but improbably affordable networking gear.
	4:34pm Bas NL: Yes @johnk77! It's now a huge five hall center for music. I visit there often. The -then only- main hall is kept in it's full glory, with just some cosmetics done to it.
	4:34pm Doug Schulkind: I got the router in the mail a week ago, and it sat on my floor mocking me and my natural technology anxiety. After that same wife came and complained bitterly that I had had the damn thing for a week and hadn't hooked it up, I finally had to face my demons. Wouldn't you know it, I plugged the fucker in and it was working after warming up for all of 5 minutes. Like I said, an idiot.
	4:34pm Uncle Michael: warming up? you got a tube router?
	4:35pm Doug Schulkind: How extremely funny, Uncle Michael.
	4:35pm Jeff Moore: @UM: theme, as in the theme of cheatin' and mysterious parentage and dating constraints based on the attempt to avoid incest.
	4:35pm Doug Schulkind: What do you want from me? I'm the "ideas guy" at Give the Drummer Radio.
	4:36pm StringOFperils: Too much self-condemnation for one measly router.
	4:36pm Bas NL: I saw Junior Murvin on stage when this album was released. Fantastic show. I got to shake hands with him afterwards.
	4:36pm Michael 98145: Slow? Hell, i remember acoustic couplers ... :)
	4:37pm johnk77: @basnl dank show was mink deville 1984 massive crowd and they loved the show:>
	4:37pm Jeff Moore: @UM: I used classic TTY 110 baud for awhile, settled at 300 for longer after that, then we bought an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE fancy bleeding-edge 1200 baud Hayes modem.
	4:38pm Michael 98145: model 33 teletype was state of the networking art
	4:38pm johnk77: @jeffm yes those 105% compatible things were $400+
	4:38pm Bas NL: @johnk77 Mink Deville no less!!
	4:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I remember feeling like I was living in the future when I upgraded to a 33,000 baud modem.
	4:39pm johnk77: holland was always 1 of mink devilles best markets!
	🛒 4:41pm WR: Pahrrteeee
	4:42pm StringOFperils: And that was when the sangria started to kick in.....
	4:42pm chresti: Wow Bas! My ex and I smoked some ganga with the Itals, in Negril, when we went to see them play. One of them told my ex that he had a "good woman"
	4:43pm Jeff Moore: ...and then there was awhile when some special ZyXEL modems were the absolute best way to connect to one of the local ISPs (maybe Panix), because they had their own special enhancement to whatever was the modem standard at the time, allowing a little bit of extra speed if ZyXELs were on both sides of that phone line.
	4:43pm Bas NL: Yes, as far as i remember Mink Deville was on the charts often. And i'm told a lot of international artists love the easy going way of The Netherlands.
	4:44pm Uncle Michael: You win, Jeff. I was never slower than 300.
	4:44pm Jeff Moore: ...then there was awhile when US Robotics modems were the Official Best Thing.
	🛒 4:45pm WR: Doug, the heavy meditation you gave before putting in the new router is what made it be smooth sailing success. That and that you waited until after you show so the tech demons had no opportunity to ambush you
	4:45pm Doug Schulkind: You understand me perfectly, WR.
	🛒 4:46pm WR: And yes absolutely I am a network application support tech and put all my years of experience and expertise into that analysis.
	4:46pm Jeff Moore: @WR is correct: you properly allowed temperatures, pressures, and demon density to equalize between your home and that stranger router. It's science.
	4:47pm Michael 98145: Never thought i'd be using the net to listen to a station out of Jersey City
	4:49pm johnk77: tommy mccook was a really really great guy
	4:50pm Bas NL: Prince did a surprise show in Utrecht.. and last year there was a surprise show by Björk.
	4:53pm Doug Schulkind: I have a friend who grew up will many of those Skatalites guys (they had moved to Brooklyn). My friend was Brooklyn born and bred, but he has a Jamaican accent from the neighborhood he came up in.
	🛒 4:54pm WR: Seen @Jeff. Seen.
	🛒 4:56pm WR: I am on the clock for another hour and 5 minutes. My work phone is within reach. I'll be straight for another 15 minutes. After that Jah must provide.
	4:58pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, I have a new bit of studio kit to install this weekend. I'll hold it up to the camera if you have your eyes on.
	4:58pm Jeff Moore: Lemme find the peeping camera link.
	5:02pm Jeff Moore: Oh, duh. It's an actual little window at the bottom of this playlist.
	5:03pm Jeff Moore: What IS that?
	5:04pm Uncle Michael: mini pc I'll run headless to run one application.
	5:05pm Jeff Moore: ....?
	🛒 5:05pm Brian in UK: Uncle, just back from a family Zoom. So much music from a small island.
	🛒 5:05pm WR: LOL, Jeff, I was going to say if you fully grokked that device from that quick flash I totally bow down to you prowess and experience.
	5:05pm Jeff Moore: @WR: naah.
	5:06pm Uncle Michael: I can only say that you will not approve of this application.
	🛒 5:07pm Brian in UK: It was a toasted sandwich maker?
	5:07pm geezerette: Well this is a surprise!
	5:07pm Bas NL: Looked like an Internet World Domination Box to me...
	5:08pm Uncle Michael: YOU CAN'T TOAST A SANDWICH!
	5:08pm Martinibomb: I like this 7hr thing maybe you should do this every week
	5:08pm Doug Schulkind: An the day of George Jones death, I titled my playlist "He Stopped Living Here Today." Am I a bad person?
	🛒 5:08pm WR: I was just going to ask what application you will be running. But we know UM looks for approval from no man, except Doig for matters GTDS.
	5:08pm Uncle Michael: yup
	5:09pm geezerette: Haha!
	🛒 5:11pm Brian in UK: Uncle, do you have a backup generator?
	🛒 5:11pm WR: Ah, the days when clarinet was the hot lead instrument. Like in Doug's playlist photo today.
	5:12pm doctorjazz: I can see why they called it Calypso-my untrained ears wouldn't know it's not.
	5:12pm Uncle Michael: No. I have everything critical on UPS, I can rife out any flicker in the power and if it goes out, I have time to shut everything down cleanly.
	5:13pm Uncle Michael: *ride out
	🛒 5:13pm Brian in UK: Cool.
	5:16pm Uncle Michael: If the power went out, the audio would stop because the mixer and the rack aren't plugged into the UPS. I might have to amend that.
	🛒 5:19pm WR: Atlantic released an album of Jamaican singles that were all heavily derived from NOLA sounds, like this Shirley & Lee sound alike/cover.
	5:22pm Stanley: Haile Bob Marley. (Bows)
	5:22pm Uncle Michael: isn't this a great song, Stanley?
	🛒 5:30pm WR: So funny UM.
	5:32pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Acquisition of Herb.
	🛒 5:36pm WR: In 2005 I met some Jamaicans at a tech training in Florida. We started talking about me visiting and they were all, no, you stay at the resort and we will come see you there. They would not give me addresses or names of their favorite hang outs. I didn't go.
	5:36pm Funky16Corners: Just my luck I missed ‘Boney Punany’...
	🛒 5:36pm WR: No worries Larry. Hit it in the archive.
	5:37pm Michael 98145: yes. i -thought- he was/is Duane's uncle.
	5:37pm listener Rey: You are correct! Punany was one of the 1st patois words i learned
	5:37pm Michael 98145: all these all-time great tracks
	5:39pm listener Rey: and we learned the dirty words first
	5:39pm Bas NL: Barrington Levy! :D
	🛒 5:39pm WR: It be Beanie Man. Yes?
	5:39pm Michael 98145: { did not know this: originally the word "punany" or "punani" was used in India -- its in the Kama Sutra - }
	5:39pm Michael 98145: it's
	5:41pm chresti: Jamaican Collie, by Prince Jazzbo, is a favorite..
	5:41pm Bas NL: Once at a Reggae party this track was played and i sang along like crazy.. the DJ jumped from the stage, headed over to me and shook my hand: "You know your Reggae, my man!"
	5:43pm Uncle Michael: Which song, Bas?
	🛒 5:43pm WR: Prince Jazzbo and King Tubby are the rulers for me.
	5:43pm Bas NL: Under Mi Sensi ;)
	5:44pm Uncle Michael: Right now I'm wondering whether...if I do another dance party, should I do another Jamaican episode...or something else.
	🛒 5:44pm WR: And Trinity. And U Roy. And.....
	5:45pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	5:45pm henry: Polka?
	🛒 5:47pm WR: I understand your. Quandary UM. There is so much great Jamaican material. I know nearly all the artists you are playing and have something by the but not what you played. So so much great sounds.
	5:47pm doctorjazz: One of the British Ska band dis a recording with theseriffs, not remembering which, Selector? Never heard the original, cool!
	5:47pm Bas NL: This show hits the spot for me UM! Great all times/places mix.
	5:47pm Stork: Hey, crashing the party real late. Greetz, Drummy peoples!! I've got red wine. But that could change. Please report on all substance intake.
	5:48pm Uncle Michael: When this was planned, Garry Sullivan wasn't on board to do the Sunday Reggae show.
	5:49pm Uncle Michael: Stork!
	5:50pm Stork: Ya can't spell YUM without UM!!!
	5:50pm Uncle Michael: I can't believe how fast and how easily this time is passing.
	5:51pm Stork: Feel free to go long. I mean ONLY 7 hours today?? Piker!!
	5:51pm Michael 98145: "like the farmer said to the potato, I'll plant you now and dig you later"
	🛒 5:52pm WR: If Sarge isn't connected after a month or two of Gary will you raise your hand? When I used to listen to Sarge's show, he would do so many call in and event promos i can understand why repeating his old shows is problematic.
	5:52pm Uncle Michael: I think you can hear the Mento/Ska connection in Guzoo Doctor
	5:53pm Uncle Michael: WR: No.
	5:54pm Gary: Woo-hoo!
	5:55pm Uncle Michael: Gary! Now I'm nervous!
	🛒 5:55pm WR: 5 more minutes and if no new service tickets come my way, breaking out the brandy, get feeling fine and dandy.
	5:55pm Doug Schulkind: Next a calypso about turtles! Oh please! An "Island" tour of Uncle Michael's backyard.
	5:57pm Gary: This version sounds way more nasty than the one I've got!
	🛒 5:57pm WR: Feel up feel up, squeeze up, sqeeze up. What next? Pay the lady man.
	5:57pm Gary: Hey wait, what is the video thing over there?

	🛒 5:58pm WR: UM raw and unedited on the vid.
	5:59pm Uncle Michael: cashews
	6:00pm Dean: Gesundheit.
	6:00pm Gary: haha
	6:00pm dutchtheo: Lynford "Hux" Brown (4 December 1944 – 18 June 2020) was a Jamaican guitarist who featured on many successful rocksteady and reggae records in the 1960s and 1970s, and was later a member of Toots and the Maytals. He also played on "Rivers of Babylon" by the Melodians and *The Harder They Come" by Jimmy Cliff;
	6:01pm doctorjazz: The early HITS!
	6:01pm doctorjazz: My man Toots!
	6:01pm Uncle Michael: I love 54-46 SOOOO much.
	6:02pm Dean: The encyclopedia of popular music / compiled & edited by Colin Larkin reports that Paul Love (Jah Screw) produced Levy's "Under Mi Sensi" in 1984, which comports with the Discogs entry for the Thunder Bolt issue.
	6:02pm Gary: It's extreme ear candy
	6:02pm Uncle Michael: I have this on LOUD in here.
	6:02pm Bas NL: Rocking rock-steady here!
	6:03pm Dean: Damn straight it's loud. I can hear it all the way here in Berkeley.
	6:03pm Stork: My haephones are on a medium-tinnitus setting. whadda set!!
	6:04pm Gary: BTW, I saw Harder They Come last fall in the theater, and it totally holds up
	6:05pm David Dichelle: These are some fine sounds.
	6:05pm annie: so, so basic,but so damn good..
	6:05pm Uncle Michael: David!
	6:05pm Funky16Corners: Cooking with Toots in the background
	🛒 6:05pm Brian in UK: @Gary, Rockers has a great soundtrack too.
	6:05pm doctorjazz: It Is YOU!!!
	6:06pm Bas NL: Hello David!
	6:06pm Uncle Michael: Whatcha making, Larry?
	6:06pm Gary: I can't believe I've never seen Rockers. I think Soul Jazz just put out a book of photos from it?
	🛒 6:06pm WR: Oh, Gary, I can still feels the strokes of the cane.
	6:06pm Stork: Gennosse im Osten!! Whaddap DD?
	6:07pm David Dichelle: Hey Bas and everyone on the floor!
	6:07pm Funky16Corners: Captain Crunch chicken strips and rice.
	6:07pm David Dichelle: Alles im grünen Bereich, Herr Kollege!
	6:09pm doctorjazz: When The Harder They Come first came out, I went to see it. It was subtitled-it took me half the movie to be able to follow it somewhat without the subtitles.
	6:09pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Larry, is the Captain Crunch being used as breading for the chicken strips? Because the stoner in me thinks that might be awesome.
	6:10pm Michael 98145: @DrJ, yup. saw it at a film festival in San Francisco.
	6:11pm Funky16Corners: @Hopey- Yes, indeed, and I first encountered it (stoned) at a Planet Hollywood In Atlantic City, many years ago
	🛒 6:11pm dutchtheo: For the record, that previous U Roy? track isnt showing in the playlist?...
	6:12pm Uncle Michael: it is here
	6:12pm Gary: I saw it in Santa Cruz in the late 1970s at a theater where you lay back on pillows and the film was projected on the ceiling.
	6:12pm CC: Hi Uncle & Co... I can see that this show has been full of a great tunes... checking out the rest!!!
	6:12pm Funky16Corners: I see the U-Roy
	6:13pm Bas NL: But 54-46's missing?
	🛒 6:13pm dutchtheo: Yep me too after refreshing
	6:13pm listener Rey: Awwww shiiit!Cypress hill in the mf house!
	6:13pm Uncle Michael: nothing missing here
	6:14pm Bas NL: Never mind.. Refresh did the trick!
	6:14pm Dean: From an interview by Roger Steffens with Barrington Levy in '94: Q: One of the most important songs in recent reggae history is "Under Mi SlengTeng." That was a revolutionary song. And yet, while Wayne Smith gets a lot of credit for that, it is you who created that rhythm and that song a few years before with "Under Mi Sensi." A: Yes, definitely. Well, "Under Mi Sensi" gave him the inspiration to do that song, and I think they know. Jammy's know that, because when Jammy's come to England in 1983 "Under Mi Sensi" was on the charts at Number One for like 12 weeks - smash hit! I even ended up on British television singing about the weed. It was on a children's program, too. Thing called "Number 73." And Jammy's come to me and said, "Nice song, wicked song." And then after he went back to Jamaica, that was the first computerized rhythm that start off in Jamaica. Q: But it's yoursong. Have you ever gotten a penny of royalities from any of the hundreds of versions of "SIeng Teng"? A: No.
	6:16pm johnk77: roger steffens has the knowledge
	6:16pm Michael 98145: Me said me smoke it and me pass it thru de windah an me give it to my next door neighbah
	6:16pm Dean: For sure. Chuck Foster, too.
	6:18pm Funky16Corners: I’m digging the Love and Happiness lift
	6:19pm Funky16Corners: Gotta be Al Green
	6:21pm ?: I am a friend of Doug's and came online to listen to his Give the Drummer Some show and got caught up in your followup show. Still here now, listening to the Jamaican reggae music. Really loving your shows today! Great playlists!
	6:22pm Gary: Michael, I'd defer to others, but I tend to look to David Katz's Solid Foundation and Lloyd Bradley's This Is Reggae Music.
	6:23pm Bas NL: So appreciated UM! This is a great party!
	6:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'd love a couple of tumblers of sangria and some Captain Crunch chicken strips right now. Sadly, I am still on the clock.
	6:24pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: Seconding "Solid Foundation" by David Katz.
	6:24pm Funky16Corners: I’m jonesing for sangria now
	6:26pm Gary: Recorded the year of Jamaica's independence!
	6:27pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, ?!
	6:28pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the recommendations.
	🛒 6:29pm Brian in UK: Lloyd Bradley is a good writer. www.lloydbradley.net...
	6:29pm Dean: That Bradley title appears to be among the more recent and extensive titles. For an oral history, there's Solid foundation : an oral history of reggae / David Katz. http://oskicat.berkeley.edu/record=b20527846~S1 But I don't know these works.
	6:31pm David Dichelle: One gem after the other, thanks UM!
	6:32pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: Katz also wrote a great book on Lee "Scratch" Perry.
	6:32pm Uncle Michael: Thanks GL!
	6:33pm Gary: AND a great book on black artists in London
	🛒 6:34pm Brian in UK: Hey David. Uncle. Wonderful shows. Got to sleep.
	6:34pm Gary: Sorry, that wasn't Katz but Bradley that wrote that
	6:34pm Uncle Michael: Night Brian.
	6:36pm Uncle Michael: a running belly like a judgement day
	6:36pm Dean: Another oral history is Chuck Foster's Roots Rock Reggae: An Oral History of Jamaican Music.
	6:42pm chresti: Coxsone records is one of labels that I looked for when I started listening to Jamaican music. Trojan compilations..
	6:44pm Uncle Michael: I didn't give Coxsone short shrift on purpose. It just happened.
	6:46pm Hubig Pie: What's that first line in the lyrics again ?
	6:46pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Beastie Boys sampled this one on Paul's Boutique.
	6:46pm chresti: That and Studio One, are a treasure trove of Rock Steady hits.
	6:47pm doctorjazz: Trojan had some great compilations-they tend to not be the best sounding, though (but, most of these likely aren't purist audiophile recordings to begin with). Thanks, UM, great party!
	6:47pm chresti: You delivered great selections, Selector UM!
	6:48pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all. Stay till the end. I'm going out with a bang.
	6:48pm Michael 98145: the hole in some of the 7-inch discs weren't exactly centered
	6:49pm geezerette: thanks,UM! You are not a rude boy. I haven't been so relaxed in months. :)
	6:49pm Michael 98145: thanks again, really enjoyed this. (hey, gz'ette!)
	6:50pm chresti: Yes, Trojan compilations are also essential @doc (and you're right about the quality).
	6:50pm Michael 98145: not ring of fire?
	6:52pm geezerette: Hey, Michael! & all ! Mellow weekends. :D
	6:53pm chresti: I was very happy when Chris Blackwell released from master recordings onto cds, on his Heartbeat label. Thanks UM!
	6:53pm Dean: I have a handful of those Trojan box sets. I don't find the sound quality wanting, but then I'm a fan of early 20th century vocal recital recordings. I think you're right, doctorjazz. Mostly, you can't improve too much upon the original material, though some folks are doing amazing work with remasters of old classical recordings.
	6:54pm Gary: Melt Banana did a brain-melting version of this: www.youtube.com...
	🛒 6:54pm WR: UM, have greatly loved this roots Jamaican pahrtee. I clicked to fave the show and avoid faving lots of tracks but so many hit me so hard had to do it. Thank you!!!!
	6:54pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I have a shit ton of Trojan comps and they're fine with me. You've heard a lot from them today!
	6:55pm Dean: The mention of Chris Blackwell brings to mind Zed Records in Long Beach. Damn fine store.
	6:56pm Michael 98145: @Dean. Yes, that and Licorice Pizza ...
	6:56pm Bas NL: Oh yeah! I bought a lot of Trojan compilations while visiting NOLA. A strange unexpected pleasure to find so many on offer there in the stores.
	6:56pm chresti: I listened to Reggae Beat in the early 80s, and recorded Hank Holmes portion of the show on cassette, then try to track down the songs that really grabbed me.
	6:57pm burke: Jamaican albatross!
	🛒 6:57pm WR: Ah, Hank Holmes, yes he played plenty great recordings.
	6:57pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Whaaaa? It's Albatross!
	6:58pm Dean: That Long Beach Licorice Pizza was a good store, indeed. As was the one on Sunset Blvd.
	6:58pm ?: EdV Great shows!
	6:58pm Jeff Moore: Okay, long-delayed callback to an earlier thread: The Mike Cross song I was trying to remember which is in the tradition of "Shame & Scandal" is... "Elma Turl": sniff.numachi.com... ...and right there in these lyric notes, it says: (a version of "Johnny Be Fair") Also see "Shame and Scandal" and "Mixed Up Family" and "Madam La Marquise"
	6:58pm chresti: WR, Hank is the reason I got hooked.
	6:59pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh wow, I missed the reference to Zed Records! I spent a lot of time there back in the day.
	6:59pm Gary: Thanks, Uncle Michael! Don't eat the roadkill?
	7:00pm steveL: Already?
	7:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thank you so much for the party, UM!
	7:00pm chresti: Dean, Poohbah's, Barton's..
	7:00pm Dean: I'm smelling a future show devoted to songs about diarrhea.
	7:00pm Uncle Michael: buh-BYE!
	7:01pm Dean: So many damn wonderful LA area shops.
	7:01pm Bas NL: Time to unwind UM! Thanks for the great Discotheque!
	7:01pm Jeff Moore: Bye, UM!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 19, 2020

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.

	3:58pm geezerette: Althea & Donna pon the floor ! Sister Nancy knockin' me out!
	3:59pm Bas NL: Yes UM; somewhat in the middle of The Netherlands. Big up for Althia & Donna!
	3:59pm steveL: Rarely! Just referring to fucking Fleetwood Mac! How’s life in your flatlands?
	🛒 3:59pm WR: I was not going to skank in the street and the you pull out Althea & Donna. There are no guilty pleasures.
	4:00pm Uncle Michael: I've been to your city. I was in the Netherlands in 2004. It's damp today, Steve. Skank away, WR.
	4:02pm Bas NL: @UM Hey! I think you're the third WFMU DJ telling me they've been to Utrecht! Did you visit the huge record fair?
	4:03pm Uncle Michael: No, wrong time of the year. I think we slept there the night before or after we went to see the bridge at Arnhem.
	4:07pm Bas NL: That's a place of true heroic history.
	4:10pm Uncle Michael: That's why we went. We went to the museum in Hartenstein and to the military cemetery too.
	4:11pm listener Rey: that was kinda dirty..I kept expecting to hear Ken's goat alarm
	4:12pm Uncle Michael: no goats here, Rey
	4:14pm Uncle Michael: Bongo Herman and the Staples both ripped off The Liquidator.
	4:14pm listener Rey: Not even the curried kind? Would go real nice with this music
	4:14pm Uncle Michael: Rey, I have something very special for you later.
	4:15pm doctorjazz: Missed a bit, back to dance!
	4:16pm chresti: I visited Amsterdam, in the early 90s, space cakes.
	🛒 4:17pm Franco Twinkie: I hurt my knee last week so I cannot fully participate in the dance party which is a goddamned shame because I would love to jump around with a bottle of Red Stripe in my hand and a big fat joint in my mouth.
	4:18pm Uncle Michael: just roll around on the floor, Franco
	4:18pm Bas NL: Ha, ha... Now that makes you heroic, Chresti! ;)
	4:19pm Uncle Michael: I still have the ashtrays I stole from the Grand Amsterdam hotel. It's 600 year-old convent...converted.
	4:21pm chresti: Space cakes and the flower market, were the highlights of that trip.
	4:21pm chresti: Wow,, UM! score!
	4:22pm Uncle Michael: We knew someone so we got a private tour of the flower auction.
	4:23pm Jeff Moore: "Shame and Scandal" was a big favorite song of mine as a little kid, following a family trip to Jamaica. I thought it was the funniest thing. It may just possibly have gotten on the nerves of my parents.
	4:24pm Uncle Michael: She's your sister but your mama don't know. Jeff!
	4:24pm chresti: I love Prince Buster's version of Take it Easy.
	4:25pm Bas NL: Had a fantastic dinner at the Grand once.. very stylish! And now you mentioned it; not many ashtrays there! ;) The flower auction's currently handing out flowers for free. There's hardly any trade at the moment.
	4:26pm chresti: Champs Elysees ( is Prince Buster's version)
	4:27pm chresti: Granny! Your song!
	4:27pm Uncle Michael: My favorite meal in Amsterdam was at de Kas.
	4:28pm Jeff Moore: @UM: See also a Mike Cross song on the same theme (was it "Uncle Josh"?)
	4:28pm Doug Schulkind: I just installed a new router. I got it for free from Verizon. May connection is not more than 10 times faster, and my bill went down by $30 a month. All because I'm an idiot and was perfectly happy with my situation and ignored all the offers to upgrade. Did I mention that I'm an idiot. But your music doesn't seem any faster, Uncle Michael.
	4:28pm steveL: Slippery People-ish.
	4:29pm Michael 98145: Liquidator!!
	4:29pm Jeff Moore: @Doug: you were inspired by the Internet speed test result I emailed! ...or not.
	4:30pm Uncle Michael: Doug retires his 56kbaud modem.
	4:30pm Bas NL: De Kas is renowned! I've never had the pleasure, i'm afraid...
	4:30pm johnk77: only time i was lucky enough to be on a tour that went to utrecht venue was muziekcentrum-vredenburg wikipedia say they built a new venue around the old main hall interior?
	4:31pm Stanley: Yay! The Liquidator. South London fairground, skins, rude boys and excitment for this 10 year old!
	4:31pm chresti: Doug, sounds familiar, I often neglect to watch for ways to game the tech overlords.
	4:31pm Jeff Moore: 56K was the cat's meow back in the day! From cat's meow to dog's dinner?
	4:31pm Doug Schulkind: @Jeff Moore That would have been the rational explanation. Mostly I was inspired by my wife complaining bitterly about not getting the wifi in her office or the backyard. When I called Verizon to ask about a wifi extender or a web-network (whatever that means), the explained that my 10-year-old contract and set-up were horribly outdated and costing me unnecessarily.
	4:32pm steveL: Perhaps I’ve realized the theme of this set
	4:33pm Uncle Michael: My favorite nerd game. Jeff, what was your slowest modem?
	4:33pm Uncle Michael: theme?
	4:33pm Jeff Moore: Sounds like you've already taken care of all the family WiFi issues; if you hadn't, I would suggest my favorite brand of mildly over-the-top but improbably affordable networking gear.
	4:34pm Bas NL: Yes @johnk77! It's now a huge five hall center for music. I visit there often. The -then only- main hall is kept in it's full glory, with just some cosmetics done to it.
	4:34pm Doug Schulkind: I got the router in the mail a week ago, and it sat on my floor mocking me and my natural technology anxiety. After that same wife came and complained bitterly that I had had the damn thing for a week and hadn't hooked it up, I finally had to face my demons. Wouldn't you know it, I plugged the fucker in and it was working after warming up for all of 5 minutes. Like I said, an idiot.
	4:34pm Uncle Michael: warming up? you got a tube router?
	4:35pm Doug Schulkind: How extremely funny, Uncle Michael.
	4:35pm Jeff Moore: @UM: theme, as in the theme of cheatin' and mysterious parentage and dating constraints based on the attempt to avoid incest.
	4:35pm Doug Schulkind: What do you want from me? I'm the "ideas guy" at Give the Drummer Radio.
	4:36pm StringOFperils: Too much self-condemnation for one measly router.
	4:36pm Bas NL: I saw Junior Murvin on stage when this album was released. Fantastic show. I got to shake hands with him afterwards.
	4:36pm Michael 98145: Slow? Hell, i remember acoustic couplers ... :)

	4:37pm Jeff Moore: @UM: I used classic TTY 110 baud for awhile, settled at 300 for longer after that, then we bought an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE fancy bleeding-edge 1200 baud Hayes modem.
	4:38pm Michael 98145: model 33 teletype was state of the networking art

	4:43pm Jeff Moore: ...and then there was awhile when some special ZyXEL modems were the absolute best way to connect to one of the local ISPs (maybe Panix), because they had their own special enhancement to whatever was the modem standard at the time, allowing a little bit of extra speed if ZyXELs were on both sides of that phone line.
	4:43pm Bas NL: Yes, as far as i remember Mink Deville was on the charts often. And i'm told a lot of international artists love the easy going way of The Netherlands.
	4:44pm Uncle Michael: You win, Jeff. I was never slower than 300.
	4:44pm Jeff Moore: ...then there was awhile when US Robotics modems were the Official Best Thing.
	🛒 4:45pm WR: Doug, the heavy meditation you gave before putting in the new router is what made it be smooth sailing success. That and that you waited until after you show so the tech demons had no opportunity to ambush you
	4:45pm Doug Schulkind: You understand me perfectly, WR.
	🛒 4:46pm WR: And yes absolutely I am a network application support tech and put all my years of experience and expertise into that analysis.
	4:46pm Jeff Moore: @WR is correct: you properly allowed temperatures, pressures, and demon density to equalize between your home and that stranger router. It's science.

	4:50pm Bas NL: Prince did a surprise show in Utrecht.. and last year there was a surprise show by Björk.

	5:08pm Martinibomb: I like this 7hr thing maybe you should do this every week
	5:08pm Doug Schulkind: An the day of George Jones death, I titled my playlist "He Stopped Living Here Today." Am I a bad person?
	🛒 5:08pm WR: I was just going to ask what application you will be running. But we know UM looks for approval from no man, except Doig for matters GTDS.
	5:08pm Uncle Michael: yup
	5:09pm geezerette: Haha!
	🛒 5:11pm Brian in UK: Uncle, do you have a backup generator?
	🛒 5:11pm WR: Ah, the days when clarinet was the hot lead instrument. Like in Doug's playlist photo today.
	5:12pm doctorjazz: I can see why they called it Calypso-my untrained ears wouldn't know it's not.
	5:12pm Uncle Michael: No. I have everything critical on UPS, I can rife out any flicker in the power and if it goes out, I have time to shut everything down cleanly.
	5:13pm Uncle Michael: *ride out
	🛒 5:13pm Brian in UK: Cool.
	5:16pm Uncle Michael: If the power went out, the audio would stop because the mixer and the rack aren't plugged into the UPS. I might have to amend that.
	🛒 5:19pm WR: Atlantic released an album of Jamaican singles that were all heavily derived from NOLA sounds, like this Shirley & Lee sound alike/cover.
	5:22pm Stanley: Haile Bob Marley. (Bows)
	5:22pm Uncle Michael: isn't this a great song, Stanley?
	🛒 5:30pm WR: So funny UM.
	5:32pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Acquisition of Herb.
	🛒 5:36pm WR: In 2005 I met some Jamaicans at a tech training in Florida. We started talking about me visiting and they were all, no, you stay at the resort and we will come see you there. They would not give me addresses or names of their favorite hang outs. I didn't go.
	5:36pm Funky16Corners: Just my luck I missed ‘Boney Punany’...
	🛒 5:36pm WR: No worries Larry. Hit it in the archive.
	5:37pm Michael 98145: yes. i -thought- he was/is Duane's uncle.
	5:37pm listener Rey: You are correct! Punany was one of the 1st patois words i learned
	5:37pm Michael 98145: all these all-time great tracks
	5:39pm listener Rey: and we learned the dirty words first
	5:39pm Bas NL: Barrington Levy! :D
	🛒 5:39pm WR: It be Beanie Man. Yes?

	5:41pm chresti: Jamaican Collie, by Prince Jazzbo, is a favorite..
	5:41pm Bas NL: Once at a Reggae party this track was played and i sang along like crazy.. the DJ jumped from the stage, headed over to me and shook my hand: "You know your Reggae, my man!"
	5:43pm Uncle Michael: Which song, Bas?
	🛒 5:43pm WR: Prince Jazzbo and King Tubby are the rulers for me.
	5:43pm Bas NL: Under Mi Sensi ;)
	5:44pm Uncle Michael: Right now I'm wondering whether...if I do another dance party, should I do another Jamaican episode...or something else.
	🛒 5:44pm WR: And Trinity. And U Roy. And.....
	5:45pm Funky16Corners: Yes!
	5:45pm henry: Polka?

	5:47pm doctorjazz: One of the British Ska band dis a recording with theseriffs, not remembering which, Selector? Never heard the original, cool!
	5:47pm Bas NL: This show hits the spot for me UM! Great all times/places mix.
	5:47pm Stork: Hey, crashing the party real late. Greetz, Drummy peoples!! I've got red wine. But that could change. Please report on all substance intake.
	5:48pm Uncle Michael: When this was planned, Garry Sullivan wasn't on board to do the Sunday Reggae show.
	5:49pm Uncle Michael: Stork!
	5:50pm Stork: Ya can't spell YUM without UM!!!
	5:50pm Uncle Michael: I can't believe how fast and how easily this time is passing.
	5:51pm Stork: Feel free to go long. I mean ONLY 7 hours today?? Piker!!
	5:51pm Michael 98145: "like the farmer said to the potato, I'll plant you now and dig you later"
	🛒 5:52pm WR: If Sarge isn't connected after a month or two of Gary will you raise your hand? When I used to listen to Sarge's show, he would do so many call in and event promos i can understand why repeating his old shows is problematic.
	5:52pm Uncle Michael: I think you can hear the Mento/Ska connection in Guzoo Doctor
	5:53pm Uncle Michael: WR: No.
	5:54pm Gary: Woo-hoo!
	5:55pm Uncle Michael: Gary! Now I'm nervous!
	🛒 5:55pm WR: 5 more minutes and if no new service tickets come my way, breaking out the brandy, get feeling fine and dandy.
	5:55pm Doug Schulkind: Next a calypso about turtles! Oh please! An "Island" tour of Uncle Michael's backyard.

	6:00pm dutchtheo: Lynford "Hux" Brown (4 December 1944 – 18 June 2020) was a Jamaican guitarist who featured on many successful rocksteady and reggae records in the 1960s and 1970s, and was later a member of Toots and the Maytals. He also played on "Rivers of Babylon" by the Melodians and *The Harder They Come" by Jimmy Cliff;
	6:01pm doctorjazz: The early HITS!
	6:01pm doctorjazz: My man Toots!
	6:01pm Uncle Michael: I love 54-46 SOOOO much.
	6:02pm Dean: The encyclopedia of popular music / compiled & edited by Colin Larkin reports that Paul Love (Jah Screw) produced Levy's "Under Mi Sensi" in 1984, which comports with the Discogs entry for the Thunder Bolt issue.
	6:02pm Gary: It's extreme ear candy
	6:02pm Uncle Michael: I have this on LOUD in here.
	6:02pm Bas NL: Rocking rock-steady here!
	6:03pm Dean: Damn straight it's loud. I can hear it all the way here in Berkeley.
	6:03pm Stork: My haephones are on a medium-tinnitus setting. whadda set!!
	6:04pm Gary: BTW, I saw Harder They Come last fall in the theater, and it totally holds up
	6:05pm David Dichelle: These are some fine sounds.
	6:05pm annie: so, so basic,but so damn good..
	6:05pm Uncle Michael: David!
	6:05pm Funky16Corners: Cooking with Toots in the background
	🛒 6:05pm Brian in UK: @Gary, Rockers has a great soundtrack too.
	6:05pm doctorjazz: It Is YOU!!!
	6:06pm Bas NL: Hello David!
	6:06pm Uncle Michael: Whatcha making, Larry?
	6:06pm Gary: I can't believe I've never seen Rockers. I think Soul Jazz just put out a book of photos from it?
	🛒 6:06pm WR: Oh, Gary, I can still feels the strokes of the cane.
	6:06pm Stork: Gennosse im Osten!! Whaddap DD?
	6:07pm David Dichelle: Hey Bas and everyone on the floor!
	6:07pm Funky16Corners: Captain Crunch chicken strips and rice.
	6:07pm David Dichelle: Alles im grünen Bereich, Herr Kollege!
	6:09pm doctorjazz: When The Harder They Come first came out, I went to see it. It was subtitled-it took me half the movie to be able to follow it somewhat without the subtitles.
	6:09pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Larry, is the Captain Crunch being used as breading for the chicken strips? Because the stoner in me thinks that might be awesome.
	6:10pm Michael 98145: @DrJ, yup. saw it at a film festival in San Francisco.
	6:11pm Funky16Corners: @Hopey- Yes, indeed, and I first encountered it (stoned) at a Planet Hollywood In Atlantic City, many years ago
	🛒 6:11pm dutchtheo: For the record, that previous U Roy? track isnt showing in the playlist?...
	6:12pm Uncle Michael: it is here
	6:12pm Gary: I saw it in Santa Cruz in the late 1970s at a theater where you lay back on pillows and the film was projected on the ceiling.
	6:12pm CC: Hi Uncle & Co... I can see that this show has been full of a great tunes... checking out the rest!!!
	6:12pm Funky16Corners: I see the U-Roy
	6:13pm Bas NL: But 54-46's missing?
	🛒 6:13pm dutchtheo: Yep me too after refreshing
	6:13pm listener Rey: Awwww shiiit!Cypress hill in the mf house!
	6:13pm Uncle Michael: nothing missing here
	6:14pm Bas NL: Never mind.. Refresh did the trick!
	6:14pm Dean: From an interview by Roger Steffens with Barrington Levy in '94: Q: One of the most important songs in recent reggae history is "Under Mi SlengTeng." That was a revolutionary song. And yet, while Wayne Smith gets a lot of credit for that, it is you who created that rhythm and that song a few years before with "Under Mi Sensi." A: Yes, definitely. Well, "Under Mi Sensi" gave him the inspiration to do that song, and I think they know. Jammy's know that, because when Jammy's come to England in 1983 "Under Mi Sensi" was on the charts at Number One for like 12 weeks - smash hit! I even ended up on British television singing about the weed. It was on a children's program, too. Thing called "Number 73." And Jammy's come to me and said, "Nice song, wicked song." And then after he went back to Jamaica, that was the first computerized rhythm that start off in Jamaica. Q: But it's yoursong. Have you ever gotten a penny of royalities from any of the hundreds of versions of "SIeng Teng"? A: No.
	6:16pm johnk77: roger steffens has the knowledge
	6:16pm Michael 98145: Me said me smoke it and me pass it thru de windah an me give it to my next door neighbah
	6:16pm Dean: For sure. Chuck Foster, too.
	6:18pm Funky16Corners: I’m digging the Love and Happiness lift
	6:19pm Funky16Corners: Gotta be Al Green
	6:21pm ?: I am a friend of Doug's and came online to listen to his Give the Drummer Some show and got caught up in your followup show. Still here now, listening to the Jamaican reggae music. Really loving your shows today! Great playlists!
	6:22pm Gary: Michael, I'd defer to others, but I tend to look to David Katz's Solid Foundation and Lloyd Bradley's This Is Reggae Music.
	6:23pm Bas NL: So appreciated UM! This is a great party!
	6:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'd love a couple of tumblers of sangria and some Captain Crunch chicken strips right now. Sadly, I am still on the clock.
	6:24pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: Seconding "Solid Foundation" by David Katz.
	6:24pm Funky16Corners: I’m jonesing for sangria now
	6:26pm Gary: Recorded the year of Jamaica's independence!
	6:27pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, ?!
	6:28pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the recommendations.
	🛒 6:29pm Brian in UK: Lloyd Bradley is a good writer. www.lloydbradley.net...
	6:29pm Dean: That Bradley title appears to be among the more recent and extensive titles. For an oral history, there's Solid foundation : an oral history of reggae / David Katz. http://oskicat.berkeley.edu/record=b20527846~S1 But I don't know these works.
	6:31pm David Dichelle: One gem after the other, thanks UM!
	6:32pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: Katz also wrote a great book on Lee "Scratch" Perry.
	6:32pm Uncle Michael: Thanks GL!
	6:33pm Gary: AND a great book on black artists in London
	🛒 6:34pm Brian in UK: Hey David. Uncle. Wonderful shows. Got to sleep.
	6:34pm Gary: Sorry, that wasn't Katz but Bradley that wrote that
	6:34pm Uncle Michael: Night Brian.
	6:36pm Uncle Michael: a running belly like a judgement day
	6:36pm Dean: Another oral history is Chuck Foster's Roots Rock Reggae: An Oral History of Jamaican Music.
	6:42pm chresti: Coxsone records is one of labels that I looked for when I started listening to Jamaican music. Trojan compilations..
	6:44pm Uncle Michael: I didn't give Coxsone short shrift on purpose. It just happened.
	6:46pm Hubig Pie: What's that first line in the lyrics again ?
	6:46pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Beastie Boys sampled this one on Paul's Boutique.
	6:46pm chresti: That and Studio One, are a treasure trove of Rock Steady hits.
	6:47pm doctorjazz: Trojan had some great compilations-they tend to not be the best sounding, though (but, most of these likely aren't purist audiophile recordings to begin with). Thanks, UM, great party!
	6:47pm chresti: You delivered great selections, Selector UM!
	6:48pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all. Stay till the end. I'm going out with a bang.
	6:48pm Michael 98145: the hole in some of the 7-inch discs weren't exactly centered
	6:49pm geezerette: thanks,UM! You are not a rude boy. I haven't been so relaxed in months. :)
	6:49pm Michael 98145: thanks again, really enjoyed this. (hey, gz'ette!)
	6:50pm chresti: Yes, Trojan compilations are also essential @doc (and you're right about the quality).
	6:50pm Michael 98145: not ring of fire?
	6:52pm geezerette: Hey, Michael! & all ! Mellow weekends. :D
	6:53pm chresti: I was very happy when Chris Blackwell released from master recordings onto cds, on his Heartbeat label. Thanks UM!
	6:53pm Dean: I have a handful of those Trojan box sets. I don't find the sound quality wanting, but then I'm a fan of early 20th century vocal recital recordings. I think you're right, doctorjazz. Mostly, you can't improve too much upon the original material, though some folks are doing amazing work with remasters of old classical recordings.
	6:54pm Gary: Melt Banana did a brain-melting version of this: www.youtube.com...
	🛒 6:54pm WR: UM, have greatly loved this roots Jamaican pahrtee. I clicked to fave the show and avoid faving lots of tracks but so many hit me so hard had to do it. Thank you!!!!
	6:54pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I have a shit ton of Trojan comps and they're fine with me. You've heard a lot from them today!
	6:55pm Dean: The mention of Chris Blackwell brings to mind Zed Records in Long Beach. Damn fine store.
	6:56pm Michael 98145: @Dean. Yes, that and Licorice Pizza ...
	6:56pm Bas NL: Oh yeah! I bought a lot of Trojan compilations while visiting NOLA. A strange unexpected pleasure to find so many on offer there in the stores.
	6:56pm chresti: I listened to Reggae Beat in the early 80s, and recorded Hank Holmes portion of the show on cassette, then try to track down the songs that really grabbed me.
	6:57pm burke: Jamaican albatross!
	🛒 6:57pm WR: Ah, Hank Holmes, yes he played plenty great recordings.
	6:57pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Whaaaa? It's Albatross!
	6:58pm Dean: That Long Beach Licorice Pizza was a good store, indeed. As was the one on Sunset Blvd.
	6:58pm ?: EdV Great shows!
	6:58pm Jeff Moore: Okay, long-delayed callback to an earlier thread: The Mike Cross song I was trying to remember which is in the tradition of "Shame & Scandal" is... "Elma Turl": sniff.numachi.com... ...and right there in these lyric notes, it says: (a version of "Johnny Be Fair") Also see "Shame and Scandal" and "Mixed Up Family" and "Madam La Marquise"
	6:58pm chresti: WR, Hank is the reason I got hooked.
	6:59pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh wow, I missed the reference to Zed Records! I spent a lot of time there back in the day.
	6:59pm Gary: Thanks, Uncle Michael! Don't eat the roadkill?
	7:00pm steveL: Already?
	7:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thank you so much for the party, UM!
	7:00pm chresti: Dean, Poohbah's, Barton's..
	7:00pm Dean: I'm smelling a future show devoted to songs about diarrhea.
	7:00pm Uncle Michael: buh-BYE!
	7:01pm Dean: So many damn wonderful LA area shops.
	7:01pm Bas NL: Time to unwind UM! Thanks for the great Discotheque!
	7:01pm Jeff Moore: Bye, UM!
