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.

WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio and Hinky Dinky Time denounce explicit and implicit racism. We condemn the culture of white supremacy, which enables the brutalization of black people and other communities of color. We support Black Lives Matter and the movement it stands for. |

In the movie "How To Marry A Millionaire," a model sports "a tamale colored serape." And I always found something fun and nicely satisfying in the phrase.
I thought I'd mentioned it before in comments, and I find that I did on Doug's show, the same day Uncle Michael said,
"I have the art of the tamale shower down to a science."
