Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 19, 2015 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

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.

Friday is always crunch time at work so usually listening and enjoying but not always commenting. Enjoyed the anthem, and the recent Stanley cup and NBA championship anthems.

As I child I wanted to get into rocketry, but after I got into pyrotechnics I wound up making skyrockets the last part of the art to work on. There are just so many things that can go wrong compared to aerial shells, for instance. I've yet to consistently get into the sweet spot between motors blowing up & just fizzling, and when they do fly, not becoming audience-seeking missiles.

Ahhh, Listen With Sarah, what an honour I have many of your recordings. The mash ups of John Peel and Andy Kershaw come to mind. Pleasure to 'meet' you.

Guido at times I was worried that he was taking control, then it was pulled back. Interesting.

@johnk77 I want to check out Freddie Roulette sometime because he is unbelievable. Lap Steel blues player...for many many years.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:08pm
Guido from Cologne:

@Brian
I loved how he re-adjustes the drumset while playing, even while playing in the forefront. This is a truly relaxed approach. I would love to be as relaxed myself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:09pm
Uncle Michael:

Freddie is good...similarly Robert Randolph.

Northern Soul, Southern Soul, Blue Eyed Soul;It's all soul to me when I feel it.

Jeff g. back from eye doc:

What's a good working definition of Northern Soul, please?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:17pm
Uncle Michael:

Obscure Motown-inspired soul popular in the north of England a decade after it was recorded.
  2:19pm
Peter & Sarah:

You just answered a question I was about to ask...what does Northern Soul mean in the US, 'cos I thought it was a British thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20pm
Uncle Michael:

North of England...American records...fast...four on the floor beat.

did the live djs
in uk really speed up
the discs?

This doc is the best explanation I can offer.

Great set, digging whatever soul it is!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:22pm

I think they did speed them up sometimes. I think DJs still play with speed.

The Wolfman never messed with that stuff...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:24pm
Guido from Cologne:

It's debatable if Northern Soul is a musical style as such.
Though your hear it after seconds when you are into it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:24pm
Uncle Michael:

I meant dancefloor DJs.

Dean:

And Kurt Gottschalk. He messes with rpm, too.

I've always had mixed feelings about Northern soul - lots of records I like, but many I think are pretty poor - @UM agreed

Ok @UM Although In poor taste, you got my joke; One of the greats nevertheless;If not such maybe the pinnacle. Pretty much one of the DJ's that were the soundtrack to my childhood.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:33pm
Guido from Cologne:

It is part of the art of DeJaying to improvise the sequencing that makes even the most rediculous singles come over as absolutely awesome masterworks. Very often poor songs with great session musicians making the best of it. Often enough great song as well.
