	12:08pm Listener Robert: Darn, Doug, just checking your playlist, looks like you faked me out with the description, and it wasn't even close to solidly rocksteady. No matter, DotDash on the main channel resonated especially with me this morning.

	12:20pm dan: Anything by Johnny Maestro in today's show, either The Crests or The Brooklyn Bridge? Just saw a bootleg video of a free show he did in 1991 in Manhattan and he was on his A Game.
	12:20pm unpopularfred: @ sinner: I, myself, am hypnotized
	12:21pm Milkies: Hey uncle n chresti Happy Daze are here

	12:22pm StringOFperils: This is better than the how to unpack a box tutorial.
	🛒 12:23pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): the spinning eyes of a creature with a BLM banner for a mouth
	12:23pm adamdoesit: antiechresti! onclespodi!
	12:24pm spodiodi: neffe adam!
	12:24pm Listener Gregory: @SOFperils, How DO you unpack a box??
	🛒 12:25pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): and all the niblings!
	12:25pm dan: Pre Three Dog Night Danny Hutton. Didn't know such material existed.
	12:25pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I've been playing this Danny Hutton song all month!
	12:26pm Listener Robert: It was Pat Byrne a few years ago from whom I learned about these routines. When he had his video-streamed variety program produced the night (or a few hours) before, he would fill the last half hour of his program streaming video from studio like this, including the audio from his headphones. while the actual program went on the regular radio and audio stream. Oh, so THAT's what "neutral" on a turntable was for, and THAT must be what's meant by "cueing up". All those years -- including studio visits -- I'd never known.
	🛒 12:26pm Franco Twinkie: Fifty years ago tomorrow on October 23 1971, KPPC the sister station of KMPX in San Francisco, the first two free form stations on the West Coast changes forever. Everyone was fired. Like WFMU, KPPC in Pasadena was a ground breaking station filled with weirdo personality. Founded by the late great Tom Donahue, it left everything else in the dust. I started listening to KPPC in 1968 when I was twelve years old. I can't take another heartbreak like that...Okay, I'm getting out my credit card.
	12:26pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Wish I had this album: www.discogs.com...
	12:27pm Listener Gregory: I feel these Shame, Shame, Shame cuts are directed at me.
	12:29pm Listener Gregory: I mean, one could be a coincidence, but two?
	12:31pm StringOFperils: @listenerGregory > When Cancel, Cancel, Cancel comes on, you know it's time to run for the hills
	12:31pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The album I linked above lists Monster Shindig (Part I) as track A2.
	🛒 12:32pm Phillippe: howdy
	🛒 12:32pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco! Radio and zines are still two of the most freeform media we got. I will carry my torch and wield my sword for these wild expressions to the end! Which reminds me, little old KPOO could use my support.
	12:32pm Michael 98145: another happy day in the punkin patch
	🛒 12:32pm dutchtheo: Uncle! flip-siders! single adapters and spiders!
	🛒 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: Agreed Baba.
	12:34pm StringOFperils: Never heard the Greek wedding potential in this single before. Hmmm.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Phillippe! Michael!
	12:34pm dan: British rock meets Zorba The Greek
	12:34pm Michael 98145: yes
	12:34pm spodiodi: 👏
	12:35pm Michael 98145: nice platter mats, too
	12:36pm chresti: Haha dan, I love Zorba.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:36pm Dracula: There was a "Monster Shindig, pt. 1" on a comp from which Hutton took his track: https://www.discogs.com/release/9566994-Super-Snooper-Blabber-Mouse-Monster-Shindig
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Drac! Thanks!
	12:37pm Michael 98145: @Franco T, i grew up listening to KRAB here in Seattle
	🛒 12:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): that Lewis & Clark Expedition reminded me of early Nilsson
	12:37pm StringOFperils: The avatar-flipping rollover code you made for your chat window never ceases to amuse my chimp mind, UM.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: For various reasons, that's not too surprising, Ms. B.
	12:40pm dan: The most British sounding Canadian group
	🛒 12:40pm Franco Twinkie: Michael98145, You like me were probably bent forever by FM radio back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
	12:42pm StringOFperils: I was there Franco. I remember those bony plates you used to sport down your back. Good times.
	12:43pm Michael 98145: KRAB hit the air in 1962 -- the very definition of free-form. Listening to commercial radio gives me hives. Or worse.
	12:44pm efd: Greetings Uncle Michael! Largely listening away from keyboard today, but enjoying the first part of the show and looking forward to the rest!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: edf! Thanks!
	🛒 12:44pm Franco Twinkie: True that. I am old and bent SoP. But I can still remember the pleasure.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: next one's for you, efd.
	12:47pm efd: hah!
	12:49pm burke: Touchin Juan?
	12:50pm Michael 98145: Touchin dew
	🛒 12:51pm Franco Twinkie: Junior High!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	12:52pm StringOFperils: @Franco @12:44 > Likewise, and I consider myself very lucky to have been 'there'.
	12:54pm Michael 98145: Whoa. so this was stereo on one side, mono on the other ??
	12:55pm doctorjazz: Love this Dave Edmunds!
	12:58pm Michael 98145: now, this is education !
	1:02pm StringOFperils: IN 1975, Jimmy Page, (who would be well acquainted with the artistic worth of Love Sculpture) on the reason for establishing Swan song: It's designed to bring in other groups and promote acts that have had raw deals in the past. It's a vehicle for them and not for us to just make a few extra pennies over the top.
	1:02pm dan: Dave Dee et al. were top 10 sensations in Canada, but scraped by in the US.
	🛒 1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Lewis and Clark were on Boss City, a teenager dance show on KHJ channel 9. They rocked the buckskin jacket and boots look and seemed to be having a real good time I remember.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: I believe it!
	1:05pm StringOFperils: Interesting that Dave Edmunds didn't go with STIFF, but he probably wanted some money to rub off on him, I'd guess.
	1:05pm dan: I can hear Levon Helm faintly in the background.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Nice solo, Jamie...errr Robbie.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Hinky Dinky Time would like to create disturbance in your bank account!
	1:08pm Michael 98145: These time machines don't run on air
	1:11pm chresti: I love Ooh Poo Pah Doo.
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: tell me about it
	🛒 1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Intro'd to OohPooPahDoo by that film clip of the HighNumbers inbetween stints being known as TheWho.
	1:14pm Brian C.: This Chuck Reed tune--is it mastered wrong or something? It hurts my head
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Brian.
	1:17pm StringOFperils: A mighty nice single to own. BB on RPM
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: This is for the gospel knuckleheads.
	🛒 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: B.B. had more of that T-Bone style JumpBlues about him than maybe we tend to think.
	1:20pm StringOFperils: He has his eye on the sparrow. And so does your cat.
	🛒 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Yor Cat ≃ Jeezus...
	1:23pm dan: His name is Levon Tostig, not Levon Helm.
	1:28pm Listener Robert: Wait a minute! Wasn't it just coincidence that singles going steady week wound up during what used to be the silent marathon? I wouldn't call it the reason it's there.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: It's an October fundraiser event, irrespective of its origins.
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Al....there's a great box reissue of all his singles, all 45 Rpm in the box (I lucked out, a friend have out to me when he was moving to smaller digs, and put all his music on hard drive).
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Nice!
	1:49pm RevWaldo: i.imgur.com...
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Whatcha think....next year all non-lp b-sides?
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Waldo!
	1:52pm dan: @UM I was thinking the same thing myself.
	2:02pm adamdoesit: Still out there! er, here.
	2:02pm Listening Out There: Now this is excitement...
	2:08pm Lizardner Dave !: Singles going steady week in olden times was a celebration of the fall record fair back when there were two record fairs a year at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Yep. Things change.
	2:22pm Michael 98145: Classic Ventures!
	2:25pm StringOFperils: Yep. Info-mercials. Him and Boxcar Willie.
	2:26pm spodiodi: <3
	2:27pm adamdoesit: Bliss.
	🛒 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Old Testament right here as far as Brian Wilson was ever concerned.
	2:28pm Rich in Washington, a semi-sentient meatball: The sweetness of these Spector produced girl groups always makes me misty eyed.
	2:29pm adamdoesit: Rev, now that you mention it, yeah.
	2:32pm StringOFperils: Yeah, The Ronettes. The air outside was clean and fresh. There were 20 cars on the highway. Wilbert Harrison was on the radio every day. Never even heard of Vietnam. sigh.
	2:34pm dan: Dynamite final set UM
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: thank you, dan
	2:39pm spodiodi: :O
	2:40pm burke: Dont you ever stop!
	2:40pm spodiodi: loop/skip it til your satisfied
	2:40pm StringOFperils: Ow! Hate doing that to needles.
	2:40pm adamdoesit: never stop! never stop! never stop! zzt get on top!
	2:40pm spodiodi: whatever it is
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: unplanned locked groove
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: naturally, I was cueing the next record when it stuck and didn't know till I went back to monitoring the live feed
	2:44pm spodiodi: i bet "Dicky Doo And The Don'ts" inspired the phrase in The Simpson's gag book "Don't Do What Donny Don't Does" (i think Bart was trying to become a boyscout or something) -- anyway, hadn't heard of them before. great name
	2:46pm spodiodi: i haven't been watching, but was surprised it went on so long -- i'm glad it was only record cueing
	2:46pm dan: I first heard Jungle Fever when it was used prominently in Boogie Nights.
	2:46pm Rich in Washington, a semi-sentient meatball: Honor thy unintentional locked groove as a hidden remix - my fave made-up oblique strategy.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: I didn't keel over, spodi.
	2:47pm StringOFperils: This got airplay on Fabio's show yesterday, while Clay threw chairs.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: nice
	2:52pm spodiodi: UM, i was thinking more nature's call, but you usually don't disappear much. i'm glad you didn't keel over ☀️
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Home stretch, fun show, thanks, Uncle Michael!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: thanks, spodi! thanks, Doc!
	2:53pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! great show today, with an exceptionally delicious center
	2:54pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the show!
	2:55pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, UM! Great selections.
	2:55pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the tunes, Uncle Michael. Spin a 45 for me, Rosemarie…
	2:57pm StringOFperils: Thanks for the relentless spinning UM!
	2:58pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thanks for the spins, UM!
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Ever DJ UM ! ~
	3:00pm spodiodi: oh man, i didn't know (or recognize/remember) the Cheech and Chong connection! cool
	3:00pm Rich in Washington, a semi-sentient meatball: Merci beaucoup, mon oncle!
	3:02pm Listener Robert: Bye-bye.
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone. Until next time...

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 22, 2021

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.

	12:25pm dan: Pre Three Dog Night Danny Hutton. Didn't know such material existed.
	12:25pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I've been playing this Danny Hutton song all month!
	12:26pm Listener Robert: It was Pat Byrne a few years ago from whom I learned about these routines. When he had his video-streamed variety program produced the night (or a few hours) before, he would fill the last half hour of his program streaming video from studio like this, including the audio from his headphones. while the actual program went on the regular radio and audio stream. Oh, so THAT's what "neutral" on a turntable was for, and THAT must be what's meant by "cueing up". All those years -- including studio visits -- I'd never known.
	🛒 12:26pm Franco Twinkie: Fifty years ago tomorrow on October 23 1971, KPPC the sister station of KMPX in San Francisco, the first two free form stations on the West Coast changes forever. Everyone was fired. Like WFMU, KPPC in Pasadena was a ground breaking station filled with weirdo personality. Founded by the late great Tom Donahue, it left everything else in the dust. I started listening to KPPC in 1968 when I was twelve years old. I can't take another heartbreak like that...Okay, I'm getting out my credit card.
	12:26pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Wish I had this album: www.discogs.com...
	12:27pm Listener Gregory: I feel these Shame, Shame, Shame cuts are directed at me.
	12:29pm Listener Gregory: I mean, one could be a coincidence, but two?
	12:31pm StringOFperils: @listenerGregory > When Cancel, Cancel, Cancel comes on, you know it's time to run for the hills
	12:31pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The album I linked above lists Monster Shindig (Part I) as track A2.
	🛒 12:32pm Phillippe: howdy
	🛒 12:32pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Franco! Radio and zines are still two of the most freeform media we got. I will carry my torch and wield my sword for these wild expressions to the end! Which reminds me, little old KPOO could use my support.
	12:32pm Michael 98145: another happy day in the punkin patch
	🛒 12:32pm dutchtheo: Uncle! flip-siders! single adapters and spiders!
	🛒 12:32pm Franco Twinkie: Agreed Baba.
	12:34pm StringOFperils: Never heard the Greek wedding potential in this single before. Hmmm.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Phillippe! Michael!
	12:34pm dan: British rock meets Zorba The Greek
	12:34pm Michael 98145: yes
	12:34pm spodiodi: 👏
	12:35pm Michael 98145: nice platter mats, too
	12:36pm chresti: Haha dan, I love Zorba.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:36pm Dracula: There was a "Monster Shindig, pt. 1" on a comp from which Hutton took his track: https://www.discogs.com/release/9566994-Super-Snooper-Blabber-Mouse-Monster-Shindig
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Drac! Thanks!
	12:37pm Michael 98145: @Franco T, i grew up listening to KRAB here in Seattle
	🛒 12:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): that Lewis & Clark Expedition reminded me of early Nilsson
	12:37pm StringOFperils: The avatar-flipping rollover code you made for your chat window never ceases to amuse my chimp mind, UM.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: For various reasons, that's not too surprising, Ms. B.
	12:40pm dan: The most British sounding Canadian group
	🛒 12:40pm Franco Twinkie: Michael98145, You like me were probably bent forever by FM radio back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
	12:42pm StringOFperils: I was there Franco. I remember those bony plates you used to sport down your back. Good times.
	12:43pm Michael 98145: KRAB hit the air in 1962 -- the very definition of free-form. Listening to commercial radio gives me hives. Or worse.
	12:44pm efd: Greetings Uncle Michael! Largely listening away from keyboard today, but enjoying the first part of the show and looking forward to the rest!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: edf! Thanks!
	🛒 12:44pm Franco Twinkie: True that. I am old and bent SoP. But I can still remember the pleasure.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: next one's for you, efd.
	12:47pm efd: hah!
	12:49pm burke: Touchin Juan?
	12:50pm Michael 98145: Touchin dew
	🛒 12:51pm Franco Twinkie: Junior High!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	12:52pm StringOFperils: @Franco @12:44 > Likewise, and I consider myself very lucky to have been 'there'.
	12:54pm Michael 98145: Whoa. so this was stereo on one side, mono on the other ??
	12:55pm doctorjazz: Love this Dave Edmunds!
	12:58pm Michael 98145: now, this is education !
	1:02pm StringOFperils: IN 1975, Jimmy Page, (who would be well acquainted with the artistic worth of Love Sculpture) on the reason for establishing Swan song: It's designed to bring in other groups and promote acts that have had raw deals in the past. It's a vehicle for them and not for us to just make a few extra pennies over the top.
	1:02pm dan: Dave Dee et al. were top 10 sensations in Canada, but scraped by in the US.
	🛒 1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Lewis and Clark were on Boss City, a teenager dance show on KHJ channel 9. They rocked the buckskin jacket and boots look and seemed to be having a real good time I remember.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: I believe it!
	1:05pm StringOFperils: Interesting that Dave Edmunds didn't go with STIFF, but he probably wanted some money to rub off on him, I'd guess.
	1:05pm dan: I can hear Levon Helm faintly in the background.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Nice solo, Jamie...errr Robbie.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Hinky Dinky Time would like to create disturbance in your bank account!
	1:08pm Michael 98145: These time machines don't run on air
	1:11pm chresti: I love Ooh Poo Pah Doo.
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: tell me about it
	🛒 1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Intro'd to OohPooPahDoo by that film clip of the HighNumbers inbetween stints being known as TheWho.
	1:14pm Brian C.: This Chuck Reed tune--is it mastered wrong or something? It hurts my head
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Brian.
	1:17pm StringOFperils: A mighty nice single to own. BB on RPM
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: This is for the gospel knuckleheads.
	🛒 1:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: B.B. had more of that T-Bone style JumpBlues about him than maybe we tend to think.
	1:20pm StringOFperils: He has his eye on the sparrow. And so does your cat.
	🛒 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Yor Cat ≃ Jeezus...
	1:23pm dan: His name is Levon Tostig, not Levon Helm.
	1:28pm Listener Robert: Wait a minute! Wasn't it just coincidence that singles going steady week wound up during what used to be the silent marathon? I wouldn't call it the reason it's there.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: It's an October fundraiser event, irrespective of its origins.
	1:45pm doctorjazz: Al....there's a great box reissue of all his singles, all 45 Rpm in the box (I lucked out, a friend have out to me when he was moving to smaller digs, and put all his music on hard drive).
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Nice!
	1:49pm RevWaldo: i.imgur.com...
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Whatcha think....next year all non-lp b-sides?
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Waldo!
	1:52pm dan: @UM I was thinking the same thing myself.
	2:02pm adamdoesit: Still out there! er, here.
	2:02pm Listening Out There: Now this is excitement...
	2:08pm Lizardner Dave !: Singles going steady week in olden times was a celebration of the fall record fair back when there were two record fairs a year at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Yep. Things change.
	2:22pm Michael 98145: Classic Ventures!
	2:25pm StringOFperils: Yep. Info-mercials. Him and Boxcar Willie.
	2:26pm spodiodi: <3
	2:27pm adamdoesit: Bliss.
	🛒 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Old Testament right here as far as Brian Wilson was ever concerned.
	2:28pm Rich in Washington, a semi-sentient meatball: The sweetness of these Spector produced girl groups always makes me misty eyed.
	2:29pm adamdoesit: Rev, now that you mention it, yeah.
	2:32pm StringOFperils: Yeah, The Ronettes. The air outside was clean and fresh. There were 20 cars on the highway. Wilbert Harrison was on the radio every day. Never even heard of Vietnam. sigh.
	2:34pm dan: Dynamite final set UM
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: thank you, dan
	2:39pm spodiodi: :O

	2:40pm adamdoesit: never stop! never stop! never stop! zzt get on top!
	2:40pm spodiodi: whatever it is
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: unplanned locked groove
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: naturally, I was cueing the next record when it stuck and didn't know till I went back to monitoring the live feed
	2:44pm spodiodi: i bet "Dicky Doo And The Don'ts" inspired the phrase in The Simpson's gag book "Don't Do What Donny Don't Does" (i think Bart was trying to become a boyscout or something) -- anyway, hadn't heard of them before. great name
	2:46pm spodiodi: i haven't been watching, but was surprised it went on so long -- i'm glad it was only record cueing
	2:46pm dan: I first heard Jungle Fever when it was used prominently in Boogie Nights.
	2:46pm Rich in Washington, a semi-sentient meatball: Honor thy unintentional locked groove as a hidden remix - my fave made-up oblique strategy.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: I didn't keel over, spodi.
	2:47pm StringOFperils: This got airplay on Fabio's show yesterday, while Clay threw chairs.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: nice
	2:52pm spodiodi: UM, i was thinking more nature's call, but you usually don't disappear much. i'm glad you didn't keel over ☀️
	2:52pm doctorjazz: Home stretch, fun show, thanks, Uncle Michael!
