	🛒 12:15pm PAULS: Bring it on down to Nugget-ville!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:15pm doctorjazz: The Association seem to be getting some new appreciation-I've heard them more this past year than in the 20 before. (not a bad thing)
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: PAULS! This is an Andrew Sandoval joynt.
	12:16pm Stork: Whenever I hear The Association I think of the skating rink- age 8 - cold fingers and toes, drinking hot "chocolate" - or whatever that was.
	12:17pm Webhamster Henry: The Association had a lock on groovy harmony.
	12:17pm duke: Bob and Ray!!!!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Stork! Henry!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Gorgeous Jack Davis album cover on this Bob & Ray....
	12:18pm doctorjazz: EX-TUH-MI-NATE!!!! Great GIF!
	12:18pm Stork: What knockers!! Thank you, doctor!
	12:19pm spodiodi: greets, Uncle Michael! greets, Hinks and Dinks!
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	🛒 12:20pm PAULS: Tandyn Almer! "Along Comes Mary" writer lived (and died, Jan 2013) in relative obscurity in Northern Virginia DC suburbs...
	🛒 12:20pm dutchtheo: I think, MVDP has to start his season yet. due to injury, but i see he is starting the day after tomorrow, and his goal is WC in Fayetteville, Arizona January 30th
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Still obsessing over the request-had 2 I thought were a lock, then rejected them again...
	12:21pm adamdoesit: Hello Uncle Michael, and all you hinks, dinks, and -lue eyed Wallies Ballou.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Get with the program, Doc. I need your request.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: -mdoesit!
	12:23pm doctorjazz: Hi Stork!
	12:23pm Asheville Jon: i am having the same problem doc
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: impulsiveness is your friend
	12:25pm still b/p: Jack Davis album covers -- fun to call up page full o' images and just perusey amusey. Bronwyn included one several weeks ago and the art immediately sez "it's Jack!"
	12:25pm Andrew in Toronto: I`ve always got time for this jam!!
	12:26pm doctorjazz: I SHOULD be dancing, but can't get off my butt!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: whatcha doin' on your back in bed?
	12:27pm still b/p: I should be drivin'....before the 3 hour haul takes me right on to the dark.
	12:31pm Asheville Jon: all bikes are gravel bikes
	12:33pm rw: Good morning! Love Bob and Ray. Was noticing the featured stereo component on that Dr. Ahkbar sketch.
	12:34pm doctorjazz: Quite a band on the Louis Smith...
	12:34pm rw: Michael, you're listening too closely. It's kinda cute though.
	12:35pm dan: I’ve been watching Fawlty Towers on YouTube. Forgot how amazing that show was and still is.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: rw! There is too much butter on those trays... No, uno, dos, tres!
	12:38pm doctorjazz: I think I may have my request (but I may change my mind...)
	12:38pm still b/p: I can't do it...the endless looping frustration of standard Fawlty style -- hide, rush, stammer, fib, repeat.
	12:40pm doctorjazz: Want to see the Beatles doc, have download links but seems like a pain to do it that way (and don't feel like sending more money to Disney)
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Do what you gotta do, Doc.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Jon, if you're me, no bikes are gravel bikes...not even gravel bikes.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: I love '70s-slick. Damn...
	12:43pm doctorjazz: A nice Al Green Box was released of his singles on 45 RPM discs (a box of 45's). Took a while to get through, but wonderful (don't think the 45s were all as good sounding as the originals probably were, but still). Got lucky, a friend who was going all digital and getting rid of all his music on solid media let me have it (it was part of a Supermarket Sweep type hour running through his house, grabbing discs).
	12:43pm Asheville Jon: heh, i hear ya UM. it's just a sign that one of my local bike thrift stores has posted on their counter. they also have a sign that reads: $1 fine if you say 'gravel bike' more than twice.
	12:43pm bigplanetnoise: Obsessed with this guitar tone back when this came out!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Right, Bob?
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I like the congas.
	12:44pm dan: How come I’ve never heard of this band before?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: That's surprising, dan.
	12:45pm bigplanetnoise: First two albums were so great! Forever linked in my kind with Wha-Koo!!
	12:46pm bigplanetnoise: My mind
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Wha-Koo?
	12:48pm dan: @UM I thought Charlie was some guy who made this record on a dare and you found it in a bargain bin. Not quite according to Wikipedia
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: My copy of that Charlie album seem to be missing. I can't remember if mine has the lines of cocaine on the mirror that were later airbrushed out. Hence the title; "Lines".
	12:48pm bigplanetnoise: UM - yes! Featuring vocalist David Palmer - first the Myddle Class, then the first Steely Dan album.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: OK, now I'm going to seek out Wha-Koo. Thanks!
	12:49pm bigplanetnoise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wha-Koo
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: I remember when I could be "still young", but not well.
	12:52pm dan: Loving Things, later covered by The Grass Roots, before Marmalade came on the radar in the US
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I can't say which version I think is better. I think they're both great.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I might prefer this, slightly.
	12:53pm Listener Robert: I'd gone back to bed during Doug Schulkind's program, and woke up during yours having had a funny dream that I'd recognized Shemp Howard on the street, introduced myself to him, and next thing I knew I was inviting him into the house I grew up in. I'll skip the parts in between and just tell you that by the time I woke up, federal agents were after him, for reasons they didn't explain to me.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Robert! I have that dream.
	🛒 12:54pm PAULS: I knew Shemp was a spy
	12:57pm still b/p: Hair crimes, although obviously enforcement was selective and uneven.
	12:57pm adamdoesit: Asheville Jon, I need some bike riding inspiration for the new year. Like, more than fresh bartape, but less than a new bike. Any suggestions?
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: adam, my inspiration is training indoors, to hit the spring stronger than I was in the fall.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: turned with a joik
	1:01pm phat in Lincoln: It's Hinky Dinky Time!
	1:01pm adamdoesit: UM, flaheute! It's awesome the way you came back from injury this year. I got into riding the rollers and watching "The Expanse" last winter, but got distracted. Maybe I could get back into that. Gotta fix a broken spoke. And fresh bartape.
	1:03pm hyde: oh man, i just realized i'm gonna be at work during the all request show this year. i need to find a way to carve out a three hour block that day for listenin'.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: do, hyde!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Requests from people that can only listen on the archives are A-OK!
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: I was just going to say that's so Pelog-y!
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: I play lots of Sundanese music.
	1:09pm hyde: @UM true! but this is one of my favorite holiday traditions, i always want to listen live. but it's not during my vaca break this year. i'll think of something
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: good
	1:10pm mauri: Heyyy UM!
	1:11pm Andres: Hi, Uncle Michael! Hey, all! ¡Cumbia! And Karftwerk! All in one.
	1:11pm Rich in Washington: OMG! This is fantastic!
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: mauri! Andres! perfection!
	🛒 1:19pm PAULS: UM where did you find this one, very appropriate to my, um, current mood
	1:20pm adamdoesit: Wow, a cumbia weed anthem. Me gusta. UM, when I see unk. on your playlist, my first thought is it's your private label.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: PAULS, I honestly don't know how I find most things. the "unk." label...I like that.
	1:23pm dan: Cumbia a la Olatunji
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: clavinet this shizzle
	1:26pm Dave Sewelson: go Uncle Michael go!
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Dave! OK, I'm outta here!
	1:32pm Listening Out There: In Wilf We Trust
	1:32pm spodiodi: i'll say
	1:32pm StringOFperils: Did a little travelling in that set.
	1:32pm spodiodi: (a challenge to ignore Motelli Skronle)
	1:35pm dan: If you have Amazon Prime, you have 7 days left to watch one of the best films of the last 30 years. “Carrington” with Emma Thompson and Jonathan Pryce. One of my favorites. Highly recommend
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: LOT!
	🛒 1:48pm PAULS: Lloyd Cole after his ccccrazy Commotions!
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: That`s a great Lloyd Cole cd. Robert Quine sure as hell rips sh*t up!!
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a fabulous show!!
	1:52pm dan: Whenever I think of this song, I think of the exercise sequence in The Full Monty
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: YW, Andrew.
	2:01pm Gerry from Miami: Christmas Eve afternoon with Uncle Michael and the gang! What could be better? Got a copy of Cheech and Chong's "Santa Claus and His Old Lady" hangin' around?
	2:02pm StringOFperils: Knocked out unlaxed.
	2:02pm Webhamster Henry: That is a Cool Yule indeed.
	2:02pm spodiodi: i'm just chillin, and boppin my head to the beat
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	2:07pm doctorjazz: It took a bit to remember why I knew The Tymes, they had a great hit, So Much In Love
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: yup!
	2:09pm Gerry from Miami: Yup, Michael, it's little old me soaking up your holiday cheer. I even have a candy cane to munch on!
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: As your dentist, I disapprove.
	2:14pm doctorjazz: Blind Lemon Christmas, what a find!
	2:15pm doctorjazz: (had really wanted the "Rise and Fall..." sets, but cheaped out)
	2:18pm chresti: I always liked this Jackon's voice better
	2:19pm doctorjazz: (the volume 1 and volume 2 together of the Paramount sets comes to about $800, at least now)
	2:20pm chresti: Jermaine oy Jerome, can't remember, the tenor in the J5
	2:25pm KWilde: Sparks!
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	🛒 2:27pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I’m cleaning my turtle tank filters, great soundtrack for it!
	2:27pm StringOFperils: Christmas in Pacific Palisades. Dinky Diamond on guitar (?)
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: How seasonal, Lizzie!
	2:30pm dan: Merry XMas Everybody by Slade would be perfect for the last set
	2:35pm doctorjazz: Speaking of obsessing, now, with the unlimited number of review sites that are on the internet, the "year's best" albums lists are out there, and also making me crazy...
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I eschew listicles.
	2:36pm phat in Lincoln: I'm preparing for doing nothing tomorrow beyond if I decide to make a fuzz pedal. I may get Chinese in solidarity with my Jewish friends.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	2:37pm Andres: I’m going off script and making those meatballs from Serious Eats.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: yum
	2:38pm phat in Lincoln: I'll never forget how lucky I was to see Duck's Breath Mystery Theater live.
	2:39pm dan: Someone hates Lynyrd Skynyrd
	2:39pm adamdoesit: I put a duck in a slow oven a few minutes ago, stuffed with couscous and orange. Later, I'll bake a potato-cabbage gratin, and a loaf of bread. Tomorrow or Sunday, I'll make a soup of the duck bones. My request is in, so I can relax and cook.
	2:39pm StringOFperils: I get to mind the store here on my own this year, so I'm making some version of chicken vegetable soup. And I might surgically remove a tonearm to replace it with something more exotic...cuz I've been avoiding that for some time now.
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: Was listening in traffic while being one of those a-holes who suddenly discovered they needed to buy something at the grocery store.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: I didn't want to be one of those so I sent the Mrs.
	2:42pm doctorjazz: SoP, tonearm damage or upgrade?
	2:43pm dan: Good ol Gordie
	2:43pm Rich in Washington: I had to score an organic whole chicken for my customary Ecchsmas Eve dinner.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I needed meth.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Always liked Lightfoot-saw the doc on him, he's treated like God in the doc.
	2:47pm StringOFperils: @doctorjazz > A retrograde upgrade. I have a used SME Series 3 'low tolerance' tone arm w a SHURE V-15 MK IV cartridge that I want to mount on my Ariston RD-40....it'll be a Frankentable...but if I manage it , my audio fidelity off of vinyl will be better thatn the Nagaoka boron thang I have...(which has been offline for quite some time)
	2:48pm Gerry from Miami: Old Gordie has Bell's palsy. When an attack strikes him, one side of his face goes numb. Can't imagine!
	2:49pm doctorjazz: SoP, just thinking of doing something like that gives me agida (10 thumbs here)
	2:49pm Roberto: There's an Aunt Michael?
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Oh yeah.
	2:50pm Roberto: Mazel tov.
	2:50pm StringOFperils: Oh, it'll be a nightmare probably, doc. Records have dragged me through the briar patch all my life.
	2:50pm spodiodi: loving this and the last song!
	2:51pm doctorjazz: cool analog set up, SoP (had to look up the turntable, the arm is well known, at least by audio geeks)
	2:52pm Big Red: Thanks for the extra Dinky this week, Uncle Michael!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Avec plaisir, mon frere.
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, UM!
	2:55pm dan: Great show UM
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: "chimbley"
	2:57pm spodiodi: hah, indeed!
	2:57pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the tunes, UM. Stay safe and eat well, everyone.
	2:58pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for killing me off. not. littledrummerboychallenge.com
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Lou Rawls could sing the telephone book and make it sound sweet, lovely track. Thanks for the great tunes, UM, Happy Holidays, all!
	2:58pm StringOFperils: UM, have a good one! Thanks for doing this; and Happy Holidays everybody out there!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Happy holidays, everyone. Thank you all.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, Henry!
	2:59pm Webhamster Henry: This was a cool Yule show (up to that point).
	2:59pm doctorjazz: WH-very funny, sorry you're out!
	2:59pm Doug Schulkind: Little Drummer Stream.
	2:59pm Webhamster Henry: Usually I'm killed off when someone posts an autoplay of Grace Jones on PeeWee's Playhouse.
	3:00pm Andres: That was a wonderful afternoon of music! Thank you, Uncle Michael! Peace to all!
	🛒 3:01pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I was knocked out by Acid Jazz Hands!
	3:01pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, Michael! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
	🛒 3:02pm PAULS: Doug that brings to mind the image often seen on the rear window of pickup truck in the 1990s of some rascal in a striped shirt pissing in public. But now he has a drum.
	3:02pm Webhamster Henry: Next year, I'll send out an advisory to be sure Djs post a content warning in case of you-know-who.
	3:04pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks, UM.
	3:04pm Listener Robert: Bye-bye.
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: buh bye!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 24, 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.

	🛒 12:07pm dutchtheo: Hey Unk! Charlie Rouse and Sonny Clark are on fire as well
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:10pm still b/p: Folks be burnin' trees for solstice, yeah? Gotta replace all the decorumtions every time, though. And cat makes sooty mess after when gettin' up in it and bringin' it down.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Theo, how's MVDP's cyclocross season going? still b/p!

	🛒 12:15pm PAULS: Bring it on down to Nugget-ville!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:15pm doctorjazz: The Association seem to be getting some new appreciation-I've heard them more this past year than in the 20 before. (not a bad thing)
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: PAULS! This is an Andrew Sandoval joynt.
	12:16pm Stork: Whenever I hear The Association I think of the skating rink- age 8 - cold fingers and toes, drinking hot "chocolate" - or whatever that was.
	12:17pm Webhamster Henry: The Association had a lock on groovy harmony.
	12:17pm duke: Bob and Ray!!!!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Stork! Henry!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Gorgeous Jack Davis album cover on this Bob & Ray....

	12:18pm Stork: What knockers!! Thank you, doctor!
	12:19pm spodiodi: greets, Uncle Michael! greets, Hinks and Dinks!
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	🛒 12:20pm PAULS: Tandyn Almer! "Along Comes Mary" writer lived (and died, Jan 2013) in relative obscurity in Northern Virginia DC suburbs...
	🛒 12:20pm dutchtheo: I think, MVDP has to start his season yet. due to injury, but i see he is starting the day after tomorrow, and his goal is WC in Fayetteville, Arizona January 30th
	12:21pm doctorjazz: Still obsessing over the request-had 2 I thought were a lock, then rejected them again...
	12:21pm adamdoesit: Hello Uncle Michael, and all you hinks, dinks, and -lue eyed Wallies Ballou.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Get with the program, Doc. I need your request.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: -mdoesit!
	12:23pm doctorjazz: Hi Stork!
	12:23pm Asheville Jon: i am having the same problem doc
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: impulsiveness is your friend
	12:25pm still b/p: Jack Davis album covers -- fun to call up page full o' images and just perusey amusey. Bronwyn included one several weeks ago and the art immediately sez "it's Jack!"
	12:25pm Andrew in Toronto: I`ve always got time for this jam!!
	12:26pm doctorjazz: I SHOULD be dancing, but can't get off my butt!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: whatcha doin' on your back in bed?
	12:27pm still b/p: I should be drivin'....before the 3 hour haul takes me right on to the dark.
	12:31pm Asheville Jon: all bikes are gravel bikes
	12:33pm rw: Good morning! Love Bob and Ray. Was noticing the featured stereo component on that Dr. Ahkbar sketch.
	12:34pm doctorjazz: Quite a band on the Louis Smith...
	12:34pm rw: Michael, you're listening too closely. It's kinda cute though.
	12:35pm dan: I’ve been watching Fawlty Towers on YouTube. Forgot how amazing that show was and still is.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: rw! There is too much butter on those trays... No, uno, dos, tres!
	12:38pm doctorjazz: I think I may have my request (but I may change my mind...)
	12:38pm still b/p: I can't do it...the endless looping frustration of standard Fawlty style -- hide, rush, stammer, fib, repeat.
	12:40pm doctorjazz: Want to see the Beatles doc, have download links but seems like a pain to do it that way (and don't feel like sending more money to Disney)
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Do what you gotta do, Doc.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Jon, if you're me, no bikes are gravel bikes...not even gravel bikes.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: I love '70s-slick. Damn...
	12:43pm doctorjazz: A nice Al Green Box was released of his singles on 45 RPM discs (a box of 45's). Took a while to get through, but wonderful (don't think the 45s were all as good sounding as the originals probably were, but still). Got lucky, a friend who was going all digital and getting rid of all his music on solid media let me have it (it was part of a Supermarket Sweep type hour running through his house, grabbing discs).
	12:43pm Asheville Jon: heh, i hear ya UM. it's just a sign that one of my local bike thrift stores has posted on their counter. they also have a sign that reads: $1 fine if you say 'gravel bike' more than twice.
	12:43pm bigplanetnoise: Obsessed with this guitar tone back when this came out!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Right, Bob?
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I like the congas.
	12:44pm dan: How come I’ve never heard of this band before?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: That's surprising, dan.
	12:45pm bigplanetnoise: First two albums were so great! Forever linked in my kind with Wha-Koo!!
	12:46pm bigplanetnoise: My mind
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Wha-Koo?
	12:48pm dan: @UM I thought Charlie was some guy who made this record on a dare and you found it in a bargain bin. Not quite according to Wikipedia
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: My copy of that Charlie album seem to be missing. I can't remember if mine has the lines of cocaine on the mirror that were later airbrushed out. Hence the title; "Lines".
	12:48pm bigplanetnoise: UM - yes! Featuring vocalist David Palmer - first the Myddle Class, then the first Steely Dan album.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: OK, now I'm going to seek out Wha-Koo. Thanks!
	12:49pm bigplanetnoise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wha-Koo
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: I remember when I could be "still young", but not well.
	12:52pm dan: Loving Things, later covered by The Grass Roots, before Marmalade came on the radar in the US
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I can't say which version I think is better. I think they're both great.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I might prefer this, slightly.
	12:53pm Listener Robert: I'd gone back to bed during Doug Schulkind's program, and woke up during yours having had a funny dream that I'd recognized Shemp Howard on the street, introduced myself to him, and next thing I knew I was inviting him into the house I grew up in. I'll skip the parts in between and just tell you that by the time I woke up, federal agents were after him, for reasons they didn't explain to me.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Robert! I have that dream.
	🛒 12:54pm PAULS: I knew Shemp was a spy
	12:57pm still b/p: Hair crimes, although obviously enforcement was selective and uneven.
	12:57pm adamdoesit: Asheville Jon, I need some bike riding inspiration for the new year. Like, more than fresh bartape, but less than a new bike. Any suggestions?
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: adam, my inspiration is training indoors, to hit the spring stronger than I was in the fall.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: turned with a joik
	1:01pm phat in Lincoln: It's Hinky Dinky Time!
	1:01pm adamdoesit: UM, flaheute! It's awesome the way you came back from injury this year. I got into riding the rollers and watching "The Expanse" last winter, but got distracted. Maybe I could get back into that. Gotta fix a broken spoke. And fresh bartape.
	1:03pm hyde: oh man, i just realized i'm gonna be at work during the all request show this year. i need to find a way to carve out a three hour block that day for listenin'.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: do, hyde!
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Requests from people that can only listen on the archives are A-OK!
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: I was just going to say that's so Pelog-y!
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: I play lots of Sundanese music.
	1:09pm hyde: @UM true! but this is one of my favorite holiday traditions, i always want to listen live. but it's not during my vaca break this year. i'll think of something
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: good
	1:10pm mauri: Heyyy UM!
	1:11pm Andres: Hi, Uncle Michael! Hey, all! ¡Cumbia! And Karftwerk! All in one.
	1:11pm Rich in Washington: OMG! This is fantastic!
	1:11pm Uncle Michael: mauri! Andres! perfection!
	🛒 1:19pm PAULS: UM where did you find this one, very appropriate to my, um, current mood
	1:20pm adamdoesit: Wow, a cumbia weed anthem. Me gusta. UM, when I see unk. on your playlist, my first thought is it's your private label.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: PAULS, I honestly don't know how I find most things. the "unk." label...I like that.
	1:23pm dan: Cumbia a la Olatunji
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: clavinet this shizzle
	1:26pm Dave Sewelson: go Uncle Michael go!
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Dave! OK, I'm outta here!
	1:32pm Listening Out There: In Wilf We Trust
	1:32pm spodiodi: i'll say
	1:32pm StringOFperils: Did a little travelling in that set.
	1:32pm spodiodi: (a challenge to ignore Motelli Skronle)
	1:35pm dan: If you have Amazon Prime, you have 7 days left to watch one of the best films of the last 30 years. “Carrington” with Emma Thompson and Jonathan Pryce. One of my favorites. Highly recommend
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: LOT!
	🛒 1:48pm PAULS: Lloyd Cole after his ccccrazy Commotions!
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: That`s a great Lloyd Cole cd. Robert Quine sure as hell rips sh*t up!!
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks for a fabulous show!!
	1:52pm dan: Whenever I think of this song, I think of the exercise sequence in The Full Monty
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: YW, Andrew.
	2:01pm Gerry from Miami: Christmas Eve afternoon with Uncle Michael and the gang! What could be better? Got a copy of Cheech and Chong's "Santa Claus and His Old Lady" hangin' around?
	2:02pm StringOFperils: Knocked out unlaxed.
	2:02pm Webhamster Henry: That is a Cool Yule indeed.
	2:02pm spodiodi: i'm just chillin, and boppin my head to the beat
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	2:07pm doctorjazz: It took a bit to remember why I knew The Tymes, they had a great hit, So Much In Love
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: yup!
	2:09pm Gerry from Miami: Yup, Michael, it's little old me soaking up your holiday cheer. I even have a candy cane to munch on!
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: As your dentist, I disapprove.
	2:14pm doctorjazz: Blind Lemon Christmas, what a find!
	2:15pm doctorjazz: (had really wanted the "Rise and Fall..." sets, but cheaped out)
	2:18pm chresti: I always liked this Jackon's voice better
	2:19pm doctorjazz: (the volume 1 and volume 2 together of the Paramount sets comes to about $800, at least now)
	2:20pm chresti: Jermaine oy Jerome, can't remember, the tenor in the J5
	2:25pm KWilde: Sparks!
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: KWilde!
	🛒 2:27pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I’m cleaning my turtle tank filters, great soundtrack for it!
	2:27pm StringOFperils: Christmas in Pacific Palisades. Dinky Diamond on guitar (?)
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: How seasonal, Lizzie!
	2:30pm dan: Merry XMas Everybody by Slade would be perfect for the last set
	2:35pm doctorjazz: Speaking of obsessing, now, with the unlimited number of review sites that are on the internet, the "year's best" albums lists are out there, and also making me crazy...
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I eschew listicles.
	2:36pm phat in Lincoln: I'm preparing for doing nothing tomorrow beyond if I decide to make a fuzz pedal. I may get Chinese in solidarity with my Jewish friends.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	2:37pm Andres: I’m going off script and making those meatballs from Serious Eats.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: yum
	2:38pm phat in Lincoln: I'll never forget how lucky I was to see Duck's Breath Mystery Theater live.
	2:39pm dan: Someone hates Lynyrd Skynyrd
	2:39pm adamdoesit: I put a duck in a slow oven a few minutes ago, stuffed with couscous and orange. Later, I'll bake a potato-cabbage gratin, and a loaf of bread. Tomorrow or Sunday, I'll make a soup of the duck bones. My request is in, so I can relax and cook.
	2:39pm StringOFperils: I get to mind the store here on my own this year, so I'm making some version of chicken vegetable soup. And I might surgically remove a tonearm to replace it with something more exotic...cuz I've been avoiding that for some time now.
	2:40pm Rich in Washington: Was listening in traffic while being one of those a-holes who suddenly discovered they needed to buy something at the grocery store.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: I didn't want to be one of those so I sent the Mrs.
	2:42pm doctorjazz: SoP, tonearm damage or upgrade?
	2:43pm dan: Good ol Gordie
	2:43pm Rich in Washington: I had to score an organic whole chicken for my customary Ecchsmas Eve dinner.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I needed meth.
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Always liked Lightfoot-saw the doc on him, he's treated like God in the doc.
	2:47pm StringOFperils: @doctorjazz > A retrograde upgrade. I have a used SME Series 3 'low tolerance' tone arm w a SHURE V-15 MK IV cartridge that I want to mount on my Ariston RD-40....it'll be a Frankentable...but if I manage it , my audio fidelity off of vinyl will be better thatn the Nagaoka boron thang I have...(which has been offline for quite some time)
	2:48pm Gerry from Miami: Old Gordie has Bell's palsy. When an attack strikes him, one side of his face goes numb. Can't imagine!
	2:49pm doctorjazz: SoP, just thinking of doing something like that gives me agida (10 thumbs here)
	2:49pm Roberto: There's an Aunt Michael?
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Oh yeah.
	2:50pm Roberto: Mazel tov.
	2:50pm StringOFperils: Oh, it'll be a nightmare probably, doc. Records have dragged me through the briar patch all my life.
	2:50pm spodiodi: loving this and the last song!
	2:51pm doctorjazz: cool analog set up, SoP (had to look up the turntable, the arm is well known, at least by audio geeks)
	2:52pm Big Red: Thanks for the extra Dinky this week, Uncle Michael!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Avec plaisir, mon frere.
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, UM!
	2:55pm dan: Great show UM
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: "chimbley"
	2:57pm spodiodi: hah, indeed!
	2:57pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the tunes, UM. Stay safe and eat well, everyone.
	2:58pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for killing me off. not. littledrummerboychallenge.com
	2:58pm doctorjazz: Lou Rawls could sing the telephone book and make it sound sweet, lovely track. Thanks for the great tunes, UM, Happy Holidays, all!
	2:58pm StringOFperils: UM, have a good one! Thanks for doing this; and Happy Holidays everybody out there!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Happy holidays, everyone. Thank you all.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Sorry, Henry!
	2:59pm Webhamster Henry: This was a cool Yule show (up to that point).
	2:59pm doctorjazz: WH-very funny, sorry you're out!
	2:59pm Doug Schulkind: Little Drummer Stream.
	2:59pm Webhamster Henry: Usually I'm killed off when someone posts an autoplay of Grace Jones on PeeWee's Playhouse.
	3:00pm Andres: That was a wonderful afternoon of music! Thank you, Uncle Michael! Peace to all!
	🛒 3:01pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I was knocked out by Acid Jazz Hands!
	3:01pm Gerry from Miami: Thanks, Michael! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
	🛒 3:02pm PAULS: Doug that brings to mind the image often seen on the rear window of pickup truck in the 1990s of some rascal in a striped shirt pissing in public. But now he has a drum.
	3:02pm Webhamster Henry: Next year, I'll send out an advisory to be sure Djs post a content warning in case of you-know-who.
	3:04pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks, UM.
	3:04pm Listener Robert: Bye-bye.
