Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 30, 2017 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.

Who knew 1974 was such a rich year for C/W B-sides?

The Oscar:

Country from this era has always seemed like the essence of summer to me. Which is odd, as I'm a lifelong New Englander who wasn't yet born at the time, but somehow the association is ironclad.

Back from the pub, a couple of pints the better. Half an hour of Hinky left followed by Shelia B. It doesn't get much better than this.
Time to rock? You betcha!

Wanted to find a record for the guy who likes fake audience noise, so I hunted down laugh tracks at Discogs. No luck, but I did find this. Note the opening act. http://bit.ly/2tyBXzF

Remember the Simpsons episode with Rader Love while Bart is driving? I think I saw the end of that one last night on FXX

@Alex It was indeed on last night-- so great! The song also features prominently in Baby Driver, which I heartily endorse if anyone's thinking about seeing it.

Did guitar lead lines peak in '74?

Jeff, they were around for ever but I have something in the last set by a band that gives them a run for the money.

In 1974, I think I still considered Country, Disco, Funk and everything else played on KSLQ to be "rock".
