	12:07pm Uncle Michael: chresti! Jeff!
	12:08pm StringOFperils: @ Mx. Baba Bee > I suppose I'm part of the baby boom, so care means making sure you have a full tank of Max-Lead Super Chief so you don't run out of gas carrying your 900 lbs. of meat back from the stupormarket that they built where the forest used to be.
	12:08pm still b/p: With my poor stall-y connection, the video chokes unless I go lo-res. Can you you look right at the camera and say "I'm ya 160-berry."
	12:09pm densely: Hello, there!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: densely!

	12:11pm chresti: The washing meat with Tide generation
	12:11pm still b/p: Was looking not long ago at the website for a Boston area very neighborhoody yacht club, and they have meat raffles! There's a picture of the prizes! Meat is still big BIG!
	🛒 12:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): still b/p: don'tcha know UM's a ventriloquist?
	🛒 12:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): chrestikins, do tell!
	12:12pm StringOFperils: This is like having a Judy Garland fan breeze, with a cool jazz chaser.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Meat never goes out of style.
	🛒 12:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Meat raffles? That sounds like something from Cha Cha Heels
	12:13pm Hubig Pie: I belong to the Meat Generation I wuz sayin' get me a ham sandwich before I wuz even born......
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Hubig!
	12:15pm Jeff Golick: The cover of this Blue Note LP lists Shorter, Lee Morgan, Reginald Workman, Elvin Jones and then ETC. The etc. includes McCOY TYNER!
	12:15pm still b/p: Make sure you hire the fun organization to run it for ya! funmeatraffles.com in NY sez "We won't MEAT your expectations ... WE'LL EXCEED THEM!" Really.
	12:15pm chresti: I'm the gas generation, the me first generation.
	12:15pm βrian: Wasn't Meat Raffle Doug's first ... ?
	12:16pm Gerry from Miami: Hey. Uncle Michael!! Haven't been able to tune in to your program in a few weeks. Battling some health issues. Got my COVID booster on Wednesday. First two shots in January and February went smoothly, but this third one kicked my butt. Feeling a bit better today, though. The Wayne Shorter is a perfect antidote to my woes.
	12:17pm Andres: Good afternoon, Uncle Michael! Meat raffle sounds like a winning strategy at next Marathon.
	12:17pm doctorjazz: Definitely sounds like Tyner!
	12:17pm doctorjazz: Definitely sounds like Tyner!
	12:17pm burke: The good people at the Chicago Film Society are screening "Meet Me in St. Louis" next week www.chicagofilmsociety.org...
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Gerry! Glad you're feeling better...
	🛒 12:18pm Brian in UK: Uncle. I was playing the mono copy of Country Joe only yesterday.
	12:19pm Marie: Vey happy to be here today. Hi UM, hi everybody!
	12:19pm StringOFperils: Meet Raffles, squadron leader, debating society chap and Boys' Own Annual ghost
	12:19pm chresti: That's the album my older brother had.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! Sorry for the stereo separation. My copy is missing the FULL-COLOR FISH GAME.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:20pm Hubig Pie: I know how you feels Gerry from Miami. Carbon copy of my vax experience
	12:21pm StringOFperils: I love that old Joe McDonald stuff...it's some of the purest psychedelic music ever made. Always a fresh listen somehow
	🛒 12:21pm Phillippe: @gerry got my booster yesterday and am not doing too bad. The things that normally hurt (like knees, finger joints) hurt worse and I'm a little tired, but I'm working.
	12:22pm dan: Finally finished the Beatles: Get Back doc the other day, the last hour devoted to the rooftop show is cinematic and musical genius.
	12:22pm still b/p: The crapshoot of booster butt-kicks I've been hearing about made me rethink trying to care of it tomorrow at a big walk-in event an hour away instead of dealing with long-wait schedules and last-second cancellations at pharmacies. Efficiency is appealing, even if long long line is guaranteed. But I gotta do something in the evening and don't want to be laid seriously low and singing Moan River.
	12:23pm adamdoesit: Unk. Hinks. Dinks. Hello!
	🛒 12:25pm Phillippe: @still b/p our chain pharmacies were backed up for weeks, but we go to a little mom and pop pharmacy and they were able to work us in in under a week.
	12:25pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	🛒 12:26pm Phillippe: This is lovely.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Dennis Yost was a singer.
	12:27pm Hubig Pie: This song always gives me visions of family road trips
	12:27pm adamdoesit: dan, wasn't that fantastic? The hairs on the back of my neck stood up throughout.
	12:29pm dan: @adamoesit Not only that, but the multi-camera shots and the overlapping dialogue. Basically an homage to 1960s mis-en-scene documentaries like the kind from Frederick Wiseman, D.A. Pennebaker and the Maysles Brothers.
	12:30pm Marie: streamlinink the studio?
	12:31pm still b/p: Put the cat, when located, on Google duty. Cats love to help.
	12:31pm Jeff Golick: @dan/@adamdoesit: the only thing missing from the rooftop footage was Billy Preston, annoyingly.
	🛒 12:33pm Brian in UK: Uncle, have you been listening to what I have been playing this week.
	12:33pm doctorjazz: Still have to see that doc
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: I don't understand, Marie. Yes, Brian.
	🛒 12:34pm Alvy Singer: Using a literal supermarket as a wider metaphor for modern life, this song depicts childhood experiences of normalized domestic violence (commonly thought to be Joe Strummer’s interpretation of Mick Jones' formative years), set against an adult backdrop of lonely high-rise living and existential angst in a consumerist society.
	🛒 12:34pm Brian in UK: So, Miles' Jack Johnson, well maybe not bit too long.
	12:34pm Hubig Pie: I've only made it as far as a very confused Peter Sellers
	12:34pm Rich in Washington: I was just thinking about this song yesterday.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Alvy!
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	🛒 12:35pm Phillippe: I heard it in a supermarket once. it was eerie
	12:35pm Marie: Just being silly--streamlinink sounds silly to me, and adds an "ink" like Hink and Dink @).
	12:35pm adamdoesit: @dan Yup. It might have felt contrived on its own. Having watched the preceding seven hours made it feel like everything coming together. @Jeff G, I remember seeing Billy up there, but, yeah, he could have used more attention. His astonishing musicality was one of the great thrills of the doc for me. Just playing whatever needed playing, without effort, even while reading the newspaper.
	12:36pm burke: Cream cheese is often over by the milk and not with the cheese
	12:37pm βrian: Existential angst? You'll find that in Aisle 7.
	12:37pm Marie: Hey, maybe I was unintentionally doing "rhyme and slang" ala the British, which I have never understood
	12:37pm Jeff Golick: ROCK FLUTE
	🛒 12:38pm Phillippe: My angst was typically in the beer and wine aisle
	12:38pm Gerry from Miami: Dennis Yost?? Nice voice. Covering this Fleetwoods #1 chart hit. Classics IV were a guilty pleasure for me during college. But, of course, I moved on to Country Joe and Dylan. Took those artists, along with CSN&Y, Moodies, Simon and Garfunkel, Santana, CCR, the Who, Janis, Doors and others, to Vietnam with me. Helped tremendously to get through the agony of the War.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: It all makes sense now, Marie! Love me some rock flute.
	12:38pm Rich in Washington: I could totally get lost in those supermarket retro sites. I love it when I walk into a supermarket in a strange town and they totally still look like stores from my childhood. They're getting rarer than white rhinos.
	12:39pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all from a temporary respite in Riviera Beach, FLA.
	12:39pm StringOFperils: Delft Blue Men sings the whites.
	12:39pm dan: London to Netherlands to the Midwest. Geographic set
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Say hi to Ron DeSantis for us.
	12:40pm dan: The flute on that Bintangs song reminded me of the flute on Golden Earring's "Back Home", also a Dutch band.
	12:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: Not likely Unc! It's a little better here in SE Florida.
	🛒 12:42pm Brian in UK: StringOFperils excellent.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Delftly done, SOp.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Jesus Christ...Mike Nesmith has died.
	12:44pm dan: Mike Nesmith just died.
	12:45pm StringOFperils: Seriously? I take my watch-cap off in your honour Nez.
	12:45pm Andres: The Wreck On The L&N Railroad would have fit in well with the all ballads show except for not having Ballad in the title. Digging the miniset! Forwarding a motion for an all railway show if you haven’t already done so.
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: It might be fun to go shopping soon. www.wildlifetrusts.org...
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Andres!
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Nooooo.
	12:46pm still b/p: Nesmith's nice song Joann returned to mind and mouth a few days ago, as it does periodically and inevitably.
	12:47pm burke: I'll always remember where I was when I heard the news about Michael Nesmith
	12:48pm still b/p: If there's an audio file in the dictionary for "Incongruity"...I think I just heard it.
	12:48pm βrian: I guess he caught the last train to Clarkston.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Brian...hi.
	12:49pm Asheville Jon: holy cow, sad about Nesmith. wow, speechless
	12:49pm dan: Mickey Dolenz has just joined the sole survivors club along with Joey Molland and Kenney Jones
	12:49pm βrian: Hola, fellow heartland-dweller.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Jon...hi.
	12:50pm Rich in Washington: I just got a knit cap in the mail last night and tried it on and my Coco called me 'Mike from The Monkees'
	12:50pm Asheville Jon: hey UM.
	🛒 12:50pm Brian in UK: still b/p saw him in 1974. He described Joanne as a song about a cow.
	🛒 12:51pm Alvy Singer: Nesmith pioneered the country rock sound.
	12:52pm dan: Big losses in music this week, John Miles, Robbie Shakespeare, Phil Bronski, David Lasley and now Mike Nesmith.
	🛒 12:53pm Brian in UK: Anyone who writes a song called Propinquity is alright with me. He always pronounced THE as THEE not Ther.
	12:54pm still b/p: So "the man" was the dairy farmer, then. And "my little bit of wisdom / Broke down her desires" for a better grade of silage, yes?
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: Loved Nesmith's 'video album' Elephant Parts and subsequent TV show Television Parts. We also have him to thank for Alex Cox's wonderful Repo Man seeing the light of day.
	12:55pm dan: And also, one of the Tavares brothers died
	12:55pm dan: Quebecois Yoko Onos
	12:56pm burke: @Rich don't forget about Tapeheads
	12:57pm adamdoesit: Oh man. So long, Nes.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Rich, I eat a one ton tomato in Mike's honor.
	12:57pm StringOFperils: I hope someone puts a tribute-show together of Mike Nesmith's post-Monkees output. It really was not your average ranch stash, and occupies a special place in pop and country and probably, at a stretch, ideas about postmodernism.
	12:57pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah! Tapeheads!
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: Imma have a marnagrita for the li'l lady here...
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: I'm confident that over the next week there will be so many tributes that no one will need one from me next Friday.
	12:59pm StringOFperils: No doubt, UM. I won't even like the guy any more by then
	12:59pm Rich in Washington: I never let that stop me, UM. I work in the department of redundancy dept.
	1:00pm βrian: Un peu brusque, cette transition, non ?
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: We expect yours TONIGHT, Rich.
	1:00pm Rich in Washington: It's really a crime that Elephant Parts isn't streaming somewhere. I see DVDs going for $50+, etc.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, sadly, the only Monkees I have is their wonderful Head OST and I don't think that will pass muster.
	1:01pm doctorjazz: Great Little Feet! (Peeling ginger to mince for a tagine from the NY Times. Wotta pain!)
	1:02pm still b/p: The MTV-fueled blowup of Monkees attention in the 80s didn't pull him in, I don't think, either by "um, no thank you" choice, or due to other busyness. But later he was in for the long game of tours and more tours.
	1:03pm densely: It's time to put on Butterfield's "Mary, Mary" and turn it up.
	1:03pm densely: Mean Old Frisco
	1:04pm StringOFperils: Lowell was moving a lot of lines by that time. Unfortunately.
	1:05pm βrian: @doctorjazz: If you're using one, lose the spoon and get an old-fashioned peeler.
	1:06pm dan: Did anyone ever see The Monkees made for TV film that VH1 did about 20 years ago? I recently rewatched it on Amazon Prime and it was well done.
	1:06pm Alex In Illinois: There is a newer song by the Bottle Rockets called "Ship it on the Frisco" about hitching rides on the Frisco Railroad.
	1:07pm βrian: In our kitchen, the smallest unit of measure for minced ginger is a half cup.
	1:08pm Cmurtha: Howdy ya'll.
	1:08pm Rich in Washington: I recall that Monkees film, yes. Where's THEIR 6+ hour doc?
	1:09pm dan: Is one the the songs going to be Central Two-0-Nine by Robert Plant?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Cmurtha!
	1:09pm βrian: Afternoon, Cmurtha. Do rest your tired feet on the ottoman.
	1:10pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Brian! I learned to use the dull side of a knife... It's the hidden corners that are hard KC Moan is great!
	1:10pm Rich in Washington: now I'm digging through my 60s section to see if I indeed have any proper Monkees records (i.e., the ones they actually played on, wrote, etc.).
	1:10pm dan: How can I forget, Al Stewart's "Trains", will that be played later?
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: You'll get the concept eventually, dan.
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:14pm Cmurtha: I can't put my feet up yet. I am grading finals atm. But soon...
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: a concept show? ...(or a concept set?)
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: most of the show
	🛒 1:15pm Phillippe: hey coel
	1:17pm Hubig Pie: Will the Shangri-Las be pulling into the station or am I missing the concept ?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: the crackliest three minutes of today's show...
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe, aloha
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: railroad lines
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: i'm a frequenter of crackly
	1:18pm still b/p: I like when Peter Dinklage and Bobby Cannavale go "walking the right of way" in The Station Agent. "I told you I was a good walker, bro."
	1:19pm Roberto: I'm here for the LucasCam.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Robero! He was just on cam a few minutes ago.
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Loving this set!!!!
	1:24pm Roberto: I'll wait right here until he comes back.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: me too
	1:25pm burke: @still b/p one of my brother's catchphrases is "How do you not have a garlic press?" from that movie
	1:26pm βrian: @burke: From the Station Agent? I'd forgotten that one.
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: using a garlic press is as foreign to me as peeling ginger. (and i eat a lot of garlic, and twice as much ginger)
	1:28pm βrian: The topic of garlic presses, can be triggering for some.
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: great set...but the rock island line is the way to ride
	1:29pm prudy: good afternoon all..
	1:31pm βrian: Generally, I thinly slice garlic, but for some things a press is indispensable. But I also believe it's not possible to buy a good garlic press. They just don't make 'em anymore.
	1:32pm Wenzo Toad: hey all did ya play Railroad Bill by Andy Breckman?
	1:32pm burke: I am considering a 30-day Amtrak pass for $499 in the springtime. Too bad Big Bill is not around anymore to ride with me
	1:33pm adamdoesit: coel, if you ride it, got to ride it like you find it. doctorjazz, dull side of the knife is a sharp way to go. still b/p, great train movie, great Dinklage movie, great New Jersey movie. Great movie!
	1:33pm still b/p: First time I heard Rock Island Line was in a performance by the kids on the show ZOOM on public TV.
	1:33pm dan: Already put my requests in last week
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: i slice garlic, or i slice it longways 1 or more X then slice it, if i want it tiny. when do you you prefer a press?
	1:34pm Roberto: Chicago and Alton?
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: -or, to phrase that better -in what type of dish?
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: prudy! Wenzo! burke!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Roberto.
	1:35pm Roberto: I thought they were absorbed by the GM&O.
	1:35pm βrian: @coel: Guacamole, for example. Or marinades.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: This Joe Turner is somewhere between Boogie Woogie and jump blues, cool!
	1:37pm StringOFperils: A rail is a good garlic press. It used to work well on pennies at least.
	1:37pm adamdoesit: By the time this show is over, we'll have devoted more time and attention to train lines than has the US Gummint in the last fifty years.
	1:37pm βrian: Saw Big Joe Turner at Joe's Star Lounge. He was big.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: right on βrian -'makes sense i guess...disperse the oil and juice better
	🛒 1:38pm Phillippe: I'm so alone in my house. I just told my wife Mike Nesmith died and her response was "Who's that?" (sigh...)
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: So big he could barely manage to be a turner.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	1:39pm Roberto: Ugh Mike Nesmith :(
	1:39pm βrian: Bitzer, from Shaun The Sheep, always reminds me of Mike Nesmith. It's that high-riding watch cap.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: aw shit Nesmith died?
	1:40pm still b/p: Paulie was doing a year for contempt and had a wonderful system for garlic. He used a razor and sliced it so thin it would liquefy in the pan with a little oil. It's a very good system.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Brian, you know the names of all Shaun's flockmates?
	1:43pm βrian: I don't, but Mamma sheep is a favorite. We take turns at the dinner table, trying to impersonate her.
	1:45pm still b/p: Ever see Emperor of the North?
	1:45pm Roberto: Yeah, RIP Nesmith, gone at 78.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: I have. I like it.
	1:46pm Hubig Pie: If yooz want really fine garlic , use a rasp grater
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I use microplanes for garlic and for ginger.
	1:48pm adamdoesit: Hubig and UM, when I've tried rasp/microplane for a couple of cloves, the garlic hangs up on the inside curve of the tool. How'd you get it out of there?
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: (tap, tap, tap)
	1:50pm Hubig Pie: Microplanes for garlic, ginger and lemon peels. It's the professional's choice. And ya, bang on the cutting board
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Yes, for citrus zest too....and for nutmeg.
	1:51pm Roberto: Even my railroad-lovin' butt doesn't know what the O & K was. A short line, I presume.
	1:51pm βrian: Jonathon Richman: "I'm a little microplane, now …"
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: ohio and kentucky
	1:52pm Roberto: That's a new one to me, UM.
	1:53pm dan: How can I forget about this Cocker tune.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: The Grease Band was so so so good. This was first recorded by Jose Feliciano. His version is just as good.
	1:54pm Roberto: This here's a jammer.
	1:55pm Listening Out There: Did Leon Russell play piano in this Joe Cocker?
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: love the out of tune pianer
	1:55pm βrian: The holes in my press are just wide enough to accommodate the end of a paperclip. And the plunger has a close tolerance such that you can feel it expelling air on an empty run. A lovely tool.
	1:56pm Roberto: That's not piano, that's piani!
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: Yes, LOT!
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: but i very rarely use a cutting board
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: My favorite Joe Cocker song! Fairly big hit on AM radio in LA in 1969. Before his smash breakthrough at Woodstock. Anybody here a fan of the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" film?
	1:57pm Listening Out There: Gracias, UM. Such a good player. I think he also played on "Feelin' Alright."
	🛒 1:57pm Alvy Singer: Would "Dixie Flyer" by Randy Newman fit into this set?
	2:00pm still b/p: Fruit Jar Guzzlers -- "cut your throat and drink your blood like wine"...! This is not your 24 hour Christmas music station.
	2:00pm Marie: I prefer "wizzle" @)
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Alvy. I'd say no. That's a train, not a line.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: "drink your blood like mulled wine?"
	2:04pm Gerry from Miami: UNCLE MIKE, have you overlooked the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe today? I know that line made it to recordings as well.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: "where the southern cross the yellow dog"
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: What do you take me for, Gerry?
	2:05pm Listening Out There: "Easy rider originally meant an expert horseman or a horse that was easy to ride."
	2:05pm still b/p: After all, who's at the top of the playlist? ...though singing a different....line.
	2:07pm Listener Robert: Darn, whenever I hear a version of "Yankee Doodle" come over, I always think I'm listening to VOA's interval signal.
	2:09pm Gerry from Miami: Mike, I mean no harm. Your expertise and knowledge are legend here at WFMU. There are probably thousands of records about railroads that there is not enough time to feature. Loving your eclectic choices here today.
	🛒 2:10pm dutchtheo: Choo choo, Conductor Michael!
	🛒 2:10pm Brian in UK: Ah Mr Lionel.
	2:10pm Listening Out There: @Gerry: Was thinkin' the same thing: On the Atchison, Topeka & The Santa Fe Song by Johnny Mercer and The Pied Pipers...
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: I was just playin' Gerry. I think I can cover that one in an unexpected manner.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: eye-run mine
	2:14pm Gerry from Miami: Isn't Neil Young a part-owner of the Lionel Train company? Never had an electric train set as a kid, but always asked for one at Christmas time.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Yes, he saved Lionel.
	2:15pm Doug Schulkind: I care. I care.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Doug!
	2:16pm johnk77: a tour bus driver i knew said neil young's home train set was amazing and neil spent a lot of time on it great show again selecter
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: john! Thank you.
	2:17pm Doug Schulkind: Hey, are you gonna play some Trane?
	🛒 2:17pm Phillippe: Lionel is making higher end diecast collectables. Their quality control on their race cars is a little sketchy
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: You kidder, Doug.
	2:20pm still b/p: Speaking of race cars, Al Unser died. Nesmith, Unser and....?
	🛒 2:20pm Brian in UK: Rod Stewart has a big layout, well that is what he boasts!!
	2:21pm johnk77: yes rip mike nesmith and rip the bass spear himself robbie shakespeare
	2:22pm Listener Robert: That's the thing about shortwave interval signals: they're the ultimate earworms. Short loops, like maybe 3-5 seconds, over and over. I wanted to find VoA's all-electronic loop, but all I found online now were their long-version full instrumental used at sign-on and sing-off. But if you ever do listen to a station's interval signal enough, unfortunately it blows out of your mind any more musical version of the full piece.
	🛒 2:22pm Phillippe: Al Unser too? damn. I should probably go back to bed
	2:23pm Roberto: Yep, as far as train-lovin' rock-n-rollers go, I believe Neil and Rod are the biggest.
	🛒 2:23pm Brian in UK: john77, saw Sly & Robbie a while back. Sly concerned me because he walked n stage with a stick that had a tennis ball on the end of it. His playing was impeccable, so shocked about Robbie.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: anoraks, both of them
	2:24pm johnk77: rip barry harris who was a super nice guy rip al unser senior al unser junior just wrote a book!
	2:24pm Roberto: My college band covered She Caught the Katy, the Taj Mahal version.
	2:25pm doctorjazz: Nice version of She Caught the Katy, but Taj Mahal did the definitive version imo.
	2:26pm Roberto: OK I just looked up the British colloquial meaning of anorak, and it certainly does describe me and my enthusiasm for model trains!
	🛒 2:27pm Brian in UK: Give anoraks a break! They keep you dry.
	2:28pm βrian: Would a detectorist be considered an anorak?
	2:29pm johnk77: unfortunately i have not seen sly nor robbie for the last 20 years i did spend 7 of the most intense weeks of my life in early 1979 as bass&drum tech/monitor mixer for peter tosh tour w/sly&robbie, tamlins, mikey chung and many illustrious others;<
	2:29pm still b/p: Saw a short bit of Butch C and Sundance K the other night, with talk of robbing the Katy Flyer. Never had no idea what rail biz/line that referred to before -- Missouri Kansas & Texas.
	2:31pm dan: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bela-fleck/2021/stiefel-theatre-salina-ks-2b8bf832.html Someone put up a setlist from your show UM
	2:31pm Roberto: I hate intermissions.
	2:32pm Roberto: But I LOVE Mr. Science!
	2:33pm Listener Robert: Funny experience on the phone about an hour ago. A friend tells me a story of having met Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek. That name was just barely familiar to me. But my friend went on to tell me how he asked him whether the opening to "Light My Fire" came from a Bach piece. He said Manzarek told him, no it was a piece by "someone named John Coltrane", whose name was unfamiliar to him, and my friend was surprised I knew THAT one. We both found it funny that we each knew of one musician we thought of as a big name, and the other we didn't, and that it was mutual.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, dan.
	2:34pm Roberto: "Tune on" lol
	2:36pm Listener Robert: Like the old joke about Sid Sackowitz, if you know it.
	2:36pm burke: aha! Intracity rail!
	2:36pm βrian: Nocturnal intermissions can be messy.
	2:36pm dan: @UM I see they did a Gordon Lightfoot song, not familiar with it.
	🛒 2:37pm Phillippe: Ok, my Covid booster side effects are finally catching up to me, really heading back to bed. Thanks UM! Peace and love, y'all
	🛒 2:38pm Brian in UK: The Black Country is in the Midlands over here, just west of Birmingham. Called because of all the heavy industry and the air was black.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Rest easy, Phillippe.
	2:39pm prudy: ah...the Kendall Sq Station...
	2:39pm The Oscar: Busy working, but as a Masshole I have to chime in! Boston's current transit fare system is called the Charlie Card, which is darkly hilarious in a way I'm not sure they thought through.
	2:40pm Doug Schulkind: Used to sing this at summer camp.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Oscar! That was intentional!
	2:40pm still b/p: Always love the sandwich moment.
	2:40pm dan: A country song about Boston. Ironic
	2:40pm doctorjazz: OK, chicken Tagine in slow cooker, 4-6 hours (hopefully closer to 4), can sit for a bit Been great cooking company!
	🛒 2:40pm Brian in UK: Phillippe have a snooze. Boosters for us tomorrow.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Walter A O'Brien...
	2:40pm davefromtoronto: his fate was unlearned.
	2:41pm TDK60: Hi Uncle Michael. Bit late.
	2:41pm adamdoesit: That Charlie’s wife hands him a sandwich in lieu of $0.05 remains poignant.
	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: So many musicians passing on lately. Spent the last 10 minutes checking out the history of Bronski Beat, a band whose founder died this week. Original vocalist Jimmy Somerville still with us.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: dave! TDK!
	2:42pm The Oscar: @UM Oh, for sure! It's just funny to me that an organization would brand themselves after a song which is specifically about how much that organization sucks.
	2:42pm TDK60: DJ UM, Didja receive my request via normal channels?
	2:42pm Listener Robert: You probably have the Allan Sherman ballad of J.C. Cohen cued up.
	2:42pm davefromtoronto: finished the beatles doc last night - anyone see it and like it or not?
	🛒 2:42pm Brian in UK: Concerning that folks passing on recently are younger than me. Bur not younger than yesterday!!
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: loved it, dave
	2:43pm dan: As a native New Yorker, this song resonates.
	2:44pm davefromtoronto: yeah it was pretty magical.
	2:47pm dan: I used to think Stan Freberg was Jewish because of his last name and he bordered on Borscht Belt humor. Turns out his father was a Baptist Minister.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: May have missed this on Doug's show (late start this morning), but Barry Harris is another musician that just passed on.
	2:48pm still b/p: I don't live in Boston but grew up outside it and had subway experience from elementary school age, including Park St. station. On Thanksgiving weekend, we went in -- for you Hub-familiar folks -- the entrance at the very lower corner of the Common at Boylston and Tremont and through the turnstyle, only to find that you can't get to the platforms connecting to rest of station and Red Line that way! Had to back come up and out and pay another fare at entrance up the street. The shame in the presence of my partner was great. I may mope forever 'neath the streets of Boston, I'm the man who can't be redeemed.
	🛒 2:48pm Brian in UK: ...and that folks became Skiffle over here, without which there might not have been The Beatles.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Odd track for Petula Clark, no?
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Petula Clark; jazz singer?
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: That subway classic, "The MTA," popularized by the Kingston Trio, mentions that part of Boston where I was born, Jamaica Plain. My mom and I used that rail line quite a bit when I was a young boy. Like NYC, the MTA has both subways and above-ground trains. Left Massachusetts for Florida when I was 9 and never saw an urban train/trolley system again till my five years in college in Philadelphia. Oh,yeah, Boston also had buses powered by overhead electric wires. They called them "trackless trolleys."
	2:53pm doctorjazz: Great show, UM, thanks!!!!
	2:54pm burke: Thanks good weekend everybody!
	2:54pm dan: Nice Petula song to end things. Great show UM
	2:54pm Rich in Washington: Wonderful show today, Uncle Michael! Thanks so much!
	2:54pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks for the awesome show, UM!!
	🛒 2:54pm Brian in UK: Gerry, called Trolley Buses over here. Long since gone but trams are making a comeback. Thanks Uncle, an education.
	2:54pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the train songs, UM. I may be listening over wifi, but you are one solid conductor.
	2:56pm The Oscar: Stan was the singer-- the label guy was probably either Daws Butler or Peter Leeds.
	2:58pm TDK60: Alright DJ UM. See you soon..
	2:58pm KWilde: One more hour!
	2:58pm Alex In Illinois: In a book of Folksongs from Martha's Vinyard, is a political version of Pop Goes the Weasel
	2:59pm Listener Robert: Bye-bye.
	2:59pm βrian: "Forward slash"??
	2:59pm Kat: ♥️
	3:00pm densely: Bye!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: bye!
	3:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 10, 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.

	12:01pm Uncle Michael: Baba!
	12:01pm dan: Good afternoon
	12:02pm StringOFperils: Could I care less? Mmmmmmmm probably.
	🛒 12:03pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I'm Gen X, I was born not to care
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: dan! SOp!
	12:04pm still b/p: But... Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage we could share...?
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: still b/p! I've got a crush on you all.

	12:07pm Uncle Michael: chresti! Jeff!
	12:08pm StringOFperils: @ Mx. Baba Bee > I suppose I'm part of the baby boom, so care means making sure you have a full tank of Max-Lead Super Chief so you don't run out of gas carrying your 900 lbs. of meat back from the stupormarket that they built where the forest used to be.
	12:08pm still b/p: With my poor stall-y connection, the video chokes unless I go lo-res. Can you you look right at the camera and say "I'm ya 160-berry."
	12:09pm densely: Hello, there!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: densely!

	12:11pm chresti: The washing meat with Tide generation
	12:11pm still b/p: Was looking not long ago at the website for a Boston area very neighborhoody yacht club, and they have meat raffles! There's a picture of the prizes! Meat is still big BIG!
	🛒 12:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): still b/p: don'tcha know UM's a ventriloquist?
	🛒 12:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): chrestikins, do tell!
	12:12pm StringOFperils: This is like having a Judy Garland fan breeze, with a cool jazz chaser.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Meat never goes out of style.
	🛒 12:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Meat raffles? That sounds like something from Cha Cha Heels
	12:13pm Hubig Pie: I belong to the Meat Generation I wuz sayin' get me a ham sandwich before I wuz even born......
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Hubig!
	12:15pm Jeff Golick: The cover of this Blue Note LP lists Shorter, Lee Morgan, Reginald Workman, Elvin Jones and then ETC. The etc. includes McCOY TYNER!

	12:15pm chresti: I'm the gas generation, the me first generation.
	12:15pm βrian: Wasn't Meat Raffle Doug's first ... ?
	12:16pm Gerry from Miami: Hey. Uncle Michael!! Haven't been able to tune in to your program in a few weeks. Battling some health issues. Got my COVID booster on Wednesday. First two shots in January and February went smoothly, but this third one kicked my butt. Feeling a bit better today, though. The Wayne Shorter is a perfect antidote to my woes.
	12:17pm Andres: Good afternoon, Uncle Michael! Meat raffle sounds like a winning strategy at next Marathon.
	12:17pm doctorjazz: Definitely sounds like Tyner!
	12:17pm doctorjazz: Definitely sounds like Tyner!
	12:17pm burke: The good people at the Chicago Film Society are screening "Meet Me in St. Louis" next week www.chicagofilmsociety.org...
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Gerry! Glad you're feeling better...
	🛒 12:18pm Brian in UK: Uncle. I was playing the mono copy of Country Joe only yesterday.
	12:19pm Marie: Vey happy to be here today. Hi UM, hi everybody!
	12:19pm StringOFperils: Meet Raffles, squadron leader, debating society chap and Boys' Own Annual ghost
	12:19pm chresti: That's the album my older brother had.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! Sorry for the stereo separation. My copy is missing the FULL-COLOR FISH GAME.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:20pm Hubig Pie: I know how you feels Gerry from Miami. Carbon copy of my vax experience
	12:21pm StringOFperils: I love that old Joe McDonald stuff...it's some of the purest psychedelic music ever made. Always a fresh listen somehow
	🛒 12:21pm Phillippe: @gerry got my booster yesterday and am not doing too bad. The things that normally hurt (like knees, finger joints) hurt worse and I'm a little tired, but I'm working.
	12:22pm dan: Finally finished the Beatles: Get Back doc the other day, the last hour devoted to the rooftop show is cinematic and musical genius.
	12:22pm still b/p: The crapshoot of booster butt-kicks I've been hearing about made me rethink trying to care of it tomorrow at a big walk-in event an hour away instead of dealing with long-wait schedules and last-second cancellations at pharmacies. Efficiency is appealing, even if long long line is guaranteed. But I gotta do something in the evening and don't want to be laid seriously low and singing Moan River.
	12:23pm adamdoesit: Unk. Hinks. Dinks. Hello!
	🛒 12:25pm Phillippe: @still b/p our chain pharmacies were backed up for weeks, but we go to a little mom and pop pharmacy and they were able to work us in in under a week.
	12:25pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: adam!
	🛒 12:26pm Phillippe: This is lovely.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Dennis Yost was a singer.
	12:27pm Hubig Pie: This song always gives me visions of family road trips
	12:27pm adamdoesit: dan, wasn't that fantastic? The hairs on the back of my neck stood up throughout.
	12:29pm dan: @adamoesit Not only that, but the multi-camera shots and the overlapping dialogue. Basically an homage to 1960s mis-en-scene documentaries like the kind from Frederick Wiseman, D.A. Pennebaker and the Maysles Brothers.
	12:30pm Marie: streamlinink the studio?
	12:31pm still b/p: Put the cat, when located, on Google duty. Cats love to help.
	12:31pm Jeff Golick: @dan/@adamdoesit: the only thing missing from the rooftop footage was Billy Preston, annoyingly.
	🛒 12:33pm Brian in UK: Uncle, have you been listening to what I have been playing this week.
	12:33pm doctorjazz: Still have to see that doc
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: I don't understand, Marie. Yes, Brian.
	🛒 12:34pm Alvy Singer: Using a literal supermarket as a wider metaphor for modern life, this song depicts childhood experiences of normalized domestic violence (commonly thought to be Joe Strummer’s interpretation of Mick Jones' formative years), set against an adult backdrop of lonely high-rise living and existential angst in a consumerist society.
	🛒 12:34pm Brian in UK: So, Miles' Jack Johnson, well maybe not bit too long.
	12:34pm Hubig Pie: I've only made it as far as a very confused Peter Sellers
	12:34pm Rich in Washington: I was just thinking about this song yesterday.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Alvy!
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	🛒 12:35pm Phillippe: I heard it in a supermarket once. it was eerie
	12:35pm Marie: Just being silly--streamlinink sounds silly to me, and adds an "ink" like Hink and Dink @).
	12:35pm adamdoesit: @dan Yup. It might have felt contrived on its own. Having watched the preceding seven hours made it feel like everything coming together. @Jeff G, I remember seeing Billy up there, but, yeah, he could have used more attention. His astonishing musicality was one of the great thrills of the doc for me. Just playing whatever needed playing, without effort, even while reading the newspaper.
	12:36pm burke: Cream cheese is often over by the milk and not with the cheese
	12:37pm βrian: Existential angst? You'll find that in Aisle 7.
	12:37pm Marie: Hey, maybe I was unintentionally doing "rhyme and slang" ala the British, which I have never understood
	12:37pm Jeff Golick: ROCK FLUTE
	🛒 12:38pm Phillippe: My angst was typically in the beer and wine aisle
	12:38pm Gerry from Miami: Dennis Yost?? Nice voice. Covering this Fleetwoods #1 chart hit. Classics IV were a guilty pleasure for me during college. But, of course, I moved on to Country Joe and Dylan. Took those artists, along with CSN&Y, Moodies, Simon and Garfunkel, Santana, CCR, the Who, Janis, Doors and others, to Vietnam with me. Helped tremendously to get through the agony of the War.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: It all makes sense now, Marie! Love me some rock flute.
	12:38pm Rich in Washington: I could totally get lost in those supermarket retro sites. I love it when I walk into a supermarket in a strange town and they totally still look like stores from my childhood. They're getting rarer than white rhinos.
	12:39pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all from a temporary respite in Riviera Beach, FLA.
	12:39pm StringOFperils: Delft Blue Men sings the whites.
	12:39pm dan: London to Netherlands to the Midwest. Geographic set
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Say hi to Ron DeSantis for us.
	12:40pm dan: The flute on that Bintangs song reminded me of the flute on Golden Earring's "Back Home", also a Dutch band.
	12:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: Not likely Unc! It's a little better here in SE Florida.
	🛒 12:42pm Brian in UK: StringOFperils excellent.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Delftly done, SOp.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Jesus Christ...Mike Nesmith has died.
	12:44pm dan: Mike Nesmith just died.
	12:45pm StringOFperils: Seriously? I take my watch-cap off in your honour Nez.
	12:45pm Andres: The Wreck On The L&N Railroad would have fit in well with the all ballads show except for not having Ballad in the title. Digging the miniset! Forwarding a motion for an all railway show if you haven’t already done so.
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: It might be fun to go shopping soon. www.wildlifetrusts.org...
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Andres!
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Nooooo.
	12:46pm still b/p: Nesmith's nice song Joann returned to mind and mouth a few days ago, as it does periodically and inevitably.
	12:47pm burke: I'll always remember where I was when I heard the news about Michael Nesmith
	12:48pm still b/p: If there's an audio file in the dictionary for "Incongruity"...I think I just heard it.
	12:48pm βrian: I guess he caught the last train to Clarkston.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Brian...hi.
	12:49pm Asheville Jon: holy cow, sad about Nesmith. wow, speechless
	12:49pm dan: Mickey Dolenz has just joined the sole survivors club along with Joey Molland and Kenney Jones
	12:49pm βrian: Hola, fellow heartland-dweller.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Jon...hi.
	12:50pm Rich in Washington: I just got a knit cap in the mail last night and tried it on and my Coco called me 'Mike from The Monkees'
	12:50pm Asheville Jon: hey UM.
	🛒 12:50pm Brian in UK: still b/p saw him in 1974. He described Joanne as a song about a cow.
	🛒 12:51pm Alvy Singer: Nesmith pioneered the country rock sound.
	12:52pm dan: Big losses in music this week, John Miles, Robbie Shakespeare, Phil Bronski, David Lasley and now Mike Nesmith.
	🛒 12:53pm Brian in UK: Anyone who writes a song called Propinquity is alright with me. He always pronounced THE as THEE not Ther.
	12:54pm still b/p: So "the man" was the dairy farmer, then. And "my little bit of wisdom / Broke down her desires" for a better grade of silage, yes?
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: Loved Nesmith's 'video album' Elephant Parts and subsequent TV show Television Parts. We also have him to thank for Alex Cox's wonderful Repo Man seeing the light of day.
	12:55pm dan: And also, one of the Tavares brothers died
	12:55pm dan: Quebecois Yoko Onos
	12:56pm burke: @Rich don't forget about Tapeheads
	12:57pm adamdoesit: Oh man. So long, Nes.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Rich, I eat a one ton tomato in Mike's honor.
	12:57pm StringOFperils: I hope someone puts a tribute-show together of Mike Nesmith's post-Monkees output. It really was not your average ranch stash, and occupies a special place in pop and country and probably, at a stretch, ideas about postmodernism.
	12:57pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah! Tapeheads!
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: Imma have a marnagrita for the li'l lady here...
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: I'm confident that over the next week there will be so many tributes that no one will need one from me next Friday.
	12:59pm StringOFperils: No doubt, UM. I won't even like the guy any more by then
	12:59pm Rich in Washington: I never let that stop me, UM. I work in the department of redundancy dept.
	1:00pm βrian: Un peu brusque, cette transition, non ?
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: We expect yours TONIGHT, Rich.
	1:00pm Rich in Washington: It's really a crime that Elephant Parts isn't streaming somewhere. I see DVDs going for $50+, etc.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, sadly, the only Monkees I have is their wonderful Head OST and I don't think that will pass muster.
	1:01pm doctorjazz: Great Little Feet! (Peeling ginger to mince for a tagine from the NY Times. Wotta pain!)
	1:02pm still b/p: The MTV-fueled blowup of Monkees attention in the 80s didn't pull him in, I don't think, either by "um, no thank you" choice, or due to other busyness. But later he was in for the long game of tours and more tours.
	1:03pm densely: It's time to put on Butterfield's "Mary, Mary" and turn it up.
	1:03pm densely: Mean Old Frisco
	1:04pm StringOFperils: Lowell was moving a lot of lines by that time. Unfortunately.
	1:05pm βrian: @doctorjazz: If you're using one, lose the spoon and get an old-fashioned peeler.
	1:06pm dan: Did anyone ever see The Monkees made for TV film that VH1 did about 20 years ago? I recently rewatched it on Amazon Prime and it was well done.
	1:06pm Alex In Illinois: There is a newer song by the Bottle Rockets called "Ship it on the Frisco" about hitching rides on the Frisco Railroad.
	1:07pm βrian: In our kitchen, the smallest unit of measure for minced ginger is a half cup.
	1:08pm Cmurtha: Howdy ya'll.
	1:08pm Rich in Washington: I recall that Monkees film, yes. Where's THEIR 6+ hour doc?
	1:09pm dan: Is one the the songs going to be Central Two-0-Nine by Robert Plant?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Cmurtha!
	1:09pm βrian: Afternoon, Cmurtha. Do rest your tired feet on the ottoman.
	1:10pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Brian! I learned to use the dull side of a knife... It's the hidden corners that are hard KC Moan is great!
	1:10pm Rich in Washington: now I'm digging through my 60s section to see if I indeed have any proper Monkees records (i.e., the ones they actually played on, wrote, etc.).
	1:10pm dan: How can I forget, Al Stewart's "Trains", will that be played later?
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: You'll get the concept eventually, dan.
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:14pm Cmurtha: I can't put my feet up yet. I am grading finals atm. But soon...
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: a concept show? ...(or a concept set?)
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: most of the show
	🛒 1:15pm Phillippe: hey coel
	1:17pm Hubig Pie: Will the Shangri-Las be pulling into the station or am I missing the concept ?
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: the crackliest three minutes of today's show...
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe, aloha
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: railroad lines
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: i'm a frequenter of crackly
	1:18pm still b/p: I like when Peter Dinklage and Bobby Cannavale go "walking the right of way" in The Station Agent. "I told you I was a good walker, bro."
	1:19pm Roberto: I'm here for the LucasCam.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Robero! He was just on cam a few minutes ago.
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Loving this set!!!!
	1:24pm Roberto: I'll wait right here until he comes back.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: me too
	1:25pm burke: @still b/p one of my brother's catchphrases is "How do you not have a garlic press?" from that movie
	1:26pm βrian: @burke: From the Station Agent? I'd forgotten that one.
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: using a garlic press is as foreign to me as peeling ginger. (and i eat a lot of garlic, and twice as much ginger)
	1:28pm βrian: The topic of garlic presses, can be triggering for some.
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: great set...but the rock island line is the way to ride
	1:29pm prudy: good afternoon all..
	1:31pm βrian: Generally, I thinly slice garlic, but for some things a press is indispensable. But I also believe it's not possible to buy a good garlic press. They just don't make 'em anymore.
	1:32pm Wenzo Toad: hey all did ya play Railroad Bill by Andy Breckman?
	1:32pm burke: I am considering a 30-day Amtrak pass for $499 in the springtime. Too bad Big Bill is not around anymore to ride with me
	1:33pm adamdoesit: coel, if you ride it, got to ride it like you find it. doctorjazz, dull side of the knife is a sharp way to go. still b/p, great train movie, great Dinklage movie, great New Jersey movie. Great movie!
	1:33pm still b/p: First time I heard Rock Island Line was in a performance by the kids on the show ZOOM on public TV.
	1:33pm dan: Already put my requests in last week
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: i slice garlic, or i slice it longways 1 or more X then slice it, if i want it tiny. when do you you prefer a press?
	1:34pm Roberto: Chicago and Alton?
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: -or, to phrase that better -in what type of dish?
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: prudy! Wenzo! burke!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Roberto.
	1:35pm Roberto: I thought they were absorbed by the GM&O.
	1:35pm βrian: @coel: Guacamole, for example. Or marinades.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: This Joe Turner is somewhere between Boogie Woogie and jump blues, cool!
	1:37pm StringOFperils: A rail is a good garlic press. It used to work well on pennies at least.
	1:37pm adamdoesit: By the time this show is over, we'll have devoted more time and attention to train lines than has the US Gummint in the last fifty years.
	1:37pm βrian: Saw Big Joe Turner at Joe's Star Lounge. He was big.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: right on βrian -'makes sense i guess...disperse the oil and juice better
	🛒 1:38pm Phillippe: I'm so alone in my house. I just told my wife Mike Nesmith died and her response was "Who's that?" (sigh...)
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: So big he could barely manage to be a turner.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	1:39pm Roberto: Ugh Mike Nesmith :(
	1:39pm βrian: Bitzer, from Shaun The Sheep, always reminds me of Mike Nesmith. It's that high-riding watch cap.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: aw shit Nesmith died?
	1:40pm still b/p: Paulie was doing a year for contempt and had a wonderful system for garlic. He used a razor and sliced it so thin it would liquefy in the pan with a little oil. It's a very good system.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Brian, you know the names of all Shaun's flockmates?
	1:43pm βrian: I don't, but Mamma sheep is a favorite. We take turns at the dinner table, trying to impersonate her.
	1:45pm still b/p: Ever see Emperor of the North?
	1:45pm Roberto: Yeah, RIP Nesmith, gone at 78.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: I have. I like it.
	1:46pm Hubig Pie: If yooz want really fine garlic , use a rasp grater
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: I use microplanes for garlic and for ginger.
	1:48pm adamdoesit: Hubig and UM, when I've tried rasp/microplane for a couple of cloves, the garlic hangs up on the inside curve of the tool. How'd you get it out of there?
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: (tap, tap, tap)
	1:50pm Hubig Pie: Microplanes for garlic, ginger and lemon peels. It's the professional's choice. And ya, bang on the cutting board
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Yes, for citrus zest too....and for nutmeg.
	1:51pm Roberto: Even my railroad-lovin' butt doesn't know what the O & K was. A short line, I presume.
	1:51pm βrian: Jonathon Richman: "I'm a little microplane, now …"
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: ohio and kentucky
	1:52pm Roberto: That's a new one to me, UM.
	1:53pm dan: How can I forget about this Cocker tune.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: The Grease Band was so so so good. This was first recorded by Jose Feliciano. His version is just as good.
	1:54pm Roberto: This here's a jammer.
	1:55pm Listening Out There: Did Leon Russell play piano in this Joe Cocker?
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: love the out of tune pianer
	1:55pm βrian: The holes in my press are just wide enough to accommodate the end of a paperclip. And the plunger has a close tolerance such that you can feel it expelling air on an empty run. A lovely tool.
	1:56pm Roberto: That's not piano, that's piani!
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: Yes, LOT!
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: but i very rarely use a cutting board
	1:56pm Gerry from Miami: My favorite Joe Cocker song! Fairly big hit on AM radio in LA in 1969. Before his smash breakthrough at Woodstock. Anybody here a fan of the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" film?
	1:57pm Listening Out There: Gracias, UM. Such a good player. I think he also played on "Feelin' Alright."
	🛒 1:57pm Alvy Singer: Would "Dixie Flyer" by Randy Newman fit into this set?
	2:00pm still b/p: Fruit Jar Guzzlers -- "cut your throat and drink your blood like wine"...! This is not your 24 hour Christmas music station.
	2:00pm Marie: I prefer "wizzle" @)
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Alvy. I'd say no. That's a train, not a line.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: "drink your blood like mulled wine?"
	2:04pm Gerry from Miami: UNCLE MIKE, have you overlooked the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe today? I know that line made it to recordings as well.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: "where the southern cross the yellow dog"
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: What do you take me for, Gerry?
	2:05pm Listening Out There: "Easy rider originally meant an expert horseman or a horse that was easy to ride."
	2:05pm still b/p: After all, who's at the top of the playlist? ...though singing a different....line.
	2:07pm Listener Robert: Darn, whenever I hear a version of "Yankee Doodle" come over, I always think I'm listening to VOA's interval signal.
	2:09pm Gerry from Miami: Mike, I mean no harm. Your expertise and knowledge are legend here at WFMU. There are probably thousands of records about railroads that there is not enough time to feature. Loving your eclectic choices here today.
	🛒 2:10pm dutchtheo: Choo choo, Conductor Michael!
	🛒 2:10pm Brian in UK: Ah Mr Lionel.
	2:10pm Listening Out There: @Gerry: Was thinkin' the same thing: On the Atchison, Topeka & The Santa Fe Song by Johnny Mercer and The Pied Pipers...
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: I was just playin' Gerry. I think I can cover that one in an unexpected manner.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: eye-run mine
	2:14pm Gerry from Miami: Isn't Neil Young a part-owner of the Lionel Train company? Never had an electric train set as a kid, but always asked for one at Christmas time.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Yes, he saved Lionel.
	2:15pm Doug Schulkind: I care. I care.
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: Doug!
	2:16pm johnk77: a tour bus driver i knew said neil young's home train set was amazing and neil spent a lot of time on it great show again selecter
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: john! Thank you.
	2:17pm Doug Schulkind: Hey, are you gonna play some Trane?
	🛒 2:17pm Phillippe: Lionel is making higher end diecast collectables. Their quality control on their race cars is a little sketchy
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: You kidder, Doug.
	2:20pm still b/p: Speaking of race cars, Al Unser died. Nesmith, Unser and....?
	🛒 2:20pm Brian in UK: Rod Stewart has a big layout, well that is what he boasts!!
	2:21pm johnk77: yes rip mike nesmith and rip the bass spear himself robbie shakespeare
	2:22pm Listener Robert: That's the thing about shortwave interval signals: they're the ultimate earworms. Short loops, like maybe 3-5 seconds, over and over. I wanted to find VoA's all-electronic loop, but all I found online now were their long-version full instrumental used at sign-on and sing-off. But if you ever do listen to a station's interval signal enough, unfortunately it blows out of your mind any more musical version of the full piece.
	🛒 2:22pm Phillippe: Al Unser too? damn. I should probably go back to bed
	2:23pm Roberto: Yep, as far as train-lovin' rock-n-rollers go, I believe Neil and Rod are the biggest.
	🛒 2:23pm Brian in UK: john77, saw Sly & Robbie a while back. Sly concerned me because he walked n stage with a stick that had a tennis ball on the end of it. His playing was impeccable, so shocked about Robbie.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: anoraks, both of them
	2:24pm johnk77: rip barry harris who was a super nice guy rip al unser senior al unser junior just wrote a book!
	2:24pm Roberto: My college band covered She Caught the Katy, the Taj Mahal version.
	2:25pm doctorjazz: Nice version of She Caught the Katy, but Taj Mahal did the definitive version imo.
	2:26pm Roberto: OK I just looked up the British colloquial meaning of anorak, and it certainly does describe me and my enthusiasm for model trains!
	🛒 2:27pm Brian in UK: Give anoraks a break! They keep you dry.
	2:28pm βrian: Would a detectorist be considered an anorak?
	2:29pm johnk77: unfortunately i have not seen sly nor robbie for the last 20 years i did spend 7 of the most intense weeks of my life in early 1979 as bass&drum tech/monitor mixer for peter tosh tour w/sly&robbie, tamlins, mikey chung and many illustrious others;<
	2:29pm still b/p: Saw a short bit of Butch C and Sundance K the other night, with talk of robbing the Katy Flyer. Never had no idea what rail biz/line that referred to before -- Missouri Kansas & Texas.
	2:31pm dan: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bela-fleck/2021/stiefel-theatre-salina-ks-2b8bf832.html Someone put up a setlist from your show UM
	2:31pm Roberto: I hate intermissions.
	2:32pm Roberto: But I LOVE Mr. Science!
	2:33pm Listener Robert: Funny experience on the phone about an hour ago. A friend tells me a story of having met Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek. That name was just barely familiar to me. But my friend went on to tell me how he asked him whether the opening to "Light My Fire" came from a Bach piece. He said Manzarek told him, no it was a piece by "someone named John Coltrane", whose name was unfamiliar to him, and my friend was surprised I knew THAT one. We both found it funny that we each knew of one musician we thought of as a big name, and the other we didn't, and that it was mutual.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, dan.
	2:34pm Roberto: "Tune on" lol
	2:36pm Listener Robert: Like the old joke about Sid Sackowitz, if you know it.
	2:36pm burke: aha! Intracity rail!
	2:36pm βrian: Nocturnal intermissions can be messy.
	2:36pm dan: @UM I see they did a Gordon Lightfoot song, not familiar with it.
	🛒 2:37pm Phillippe: Ok, my Covid booster side effects are finally catching up to me, really heading back to bed. Thanks UM! Peace and love, y'all
	🛒 2:38pm Brian in UK: The Black Country is in the Midlands over here, just west of Birmingham. Called because of all the heavy industry and the air was black.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Rest easy, Phillippe.
	2:39pm prudy: ah...the Kendall Sq Station...
	2:39pm The Oscar: Busy working, but as a Masshole I have to chime in! Boston's current transit fare system is called the Charlie Card, which is darkly hilarious in a way I'm not sure they thought through.
	2:40pm Doug Schulkind: Used to sing this at summer camp.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Oscar! That was intentional!
	2:40pm still b/p: Always love the sandwich moment.
	2:40pm dan: A country song about Boston. Ironic
	2:40pm doctorjazz: OK, chicken Tagine in slow cooker, 4-6 hours (hopefully closer to 4), can sit for a bit Been great cooking company!
	🛒 2:40pm Brian in UK: Phillippe have a snooze. Boosters for us tomorrow.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Walter A O'Brien...
	2:40pm davefromtoronto: his fate was unlearned.
	2:41pm TDK60: Hi Uncle Michael. Bit late.
	2:41pm adamdoesit: That Charlie’s wife hands him a sandwich in lieu of $0.05 remains poignant.
	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: So many musicians passing on lately. Spent the last 10 minutes checking out the history of Bronski Beat, a band whose founder died this week. Original vocalist Jimmy Somerville still with us.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: dave! TDK!
	2:42pm The Oscar: @UM Oh, for sure! It's just funny to me that an organization would brand themselves after a song which is specifically about how much that organization sucks.
	2:42pm TDK60: DJ UM, Didja receive my request via normal channels?
	2:42pm Listener Robert: You probably have the Allan Sherman ballad of J.C. Cohen cued up.
	2:42pm davefromtoronto: finished the beatles doc last night - anyone see it and like it or not?
	🛒 2:42pm Brian in UK: Concerning that folks passing on recently are younger than me. Bur not younger than yesterday!!
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: loved it, dave
	2:43pm dan: As a native New Yorker, this song resonates.
	2:44pm davefromtoronto: yeah it was pretty magical.
	2:47pm dan: I used to think Stan Freberg was Jewish because of his last name and he bordered on Borscht Belt humor. Turns out his father was a Baptist Minister.
	2:48pm doctorjazz: May have missed this on Doug's show (late start this morning), but Barry Harris is another musician that just passed on.
	2:48pm still b/p: I don't live in Boston but grew up outside it and had subway experience from elementary school age, including Park St. station. On Thanksgiving weekend, we went in -- for you Hub-familiar folks -- the entrance at the very lower corner of the Common at Boylston and Tremont and through the turnstyle, only to find that you can't get to the platforms connecting to rest of station and Red Line that way! Had to back come up and out and pay another fare at entrance up the street. The shame in the presence of my partner was great. I may mope forever 'neath the streets of Boston, I'm the man who can't be redeemed.
	🛒 2:48pm Brian in UK: ...and that folks became Skiffle over here, without which there might not have been The Beatles.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: Odd track for Petula Clark, no?
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Petula Clark; jazz singer?
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: That subway classic, "The MTA," popularized by the Kingston Trio, mentions that part of Boston where I was born, Jamaica Plain. My mom and I used that rail line quite a bit when I was a young boy. Like NYC, the MTA has both subways and above-ground trains. Left Massachusetts for Florida when I was 9 and never saw an urban train/trolley system again till my five years in college in Philadelphia. Oh,yeah, Boston also had buses powered by overhead electric wires. They called them "trackless trolleys."
	2:53pm doctorjazz: Great show, UM, thanks!!!!
	2:54pm burke: Thanks good weekend everybody!
	2:54pm dan: Nice Petula song to end things. Great show UM
	2:54pm Rich in Washington: Wonderful show today, Uncle Michael! Thanks so much!
	2:54pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks for the awesome show, UM!!
	🛒 2:54pm Brian in UK: Gerry, called Trolley Buses over here. Long since gone but trams are making a comeback. Thanks Uncle, an education.
	2:54pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the train songs, UM. I may be listening over wifi, but you are one solid conductor.
	2:56pm The Oscar: Stan was the singer-- the label guy was probably either Daws Butler or Peter Leeds.
	2:58pm TDK60: Alright DJ UM. See you soon..
	2:58pm KWilde: One more hour!
	2:58pm Alex In Illinois: In a book of Folksongs from Martha's Vinyard, is a political version of Pop Goes the Weasel
	2:59pm Listener Robert: Bye-bye.
	2:59pm βrian: "Forward slash"??
	2:59pm Kat: ♥️
	3:00pm densely: Bye!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: bye!
	3:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM!
