	12:10pm Jeff Golick: Tom!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Sorting some technical issues here...
	12:11pm davex: Checking in now over here - good start U.M.
	12:11pm Alex In Illinois: I can see it now. Cats can be cruel, playing with what they catch for hours before killing and eating it.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I think I'm together, shit-wise.
	12:15pm pacific standard simon: I'm not. Make me a cup of tea?
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: zap there...you're a c...
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Hello all you boo'ful people. How are you?
	12:19pm pacific standard simon: The further back you go in the Bee Gees catalog, the better they get. They must have been god-like before they recorded.
	12:20pm Jeff Golick: @pss, you're all over the place, avi-wise today.
	12:22pm Jeff Golick: Oop, never mind. You're all in sync now, @pss. For a brief shining moment you were showing as two different images.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: A cat and a duck?
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: Likely to be a third. Need something new.
	12:25pm pacific standard simon: I know that story about Chet.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: What's the story, Simon?
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: This is from a truly remarkable TEF album.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Whole album is Ernie with just bass and guitar...John Mosher and Billy Strange
	12:33pm pacific standard simon: The one about Chet trying to score drugs in San Francisco's Filmore district and getting punched in the mouth so hard that he had to quit playing his horn until he could get major dental work done? That story?
	12:35pm pacific standard simon: I always come away from this show wanting a bunch of albums I never heard before.
	12:36pm pacific standard simon: I have my tea now; the light at the end of the tunnel has appeared.
	12:40pm hyde: yeah, I have to look for that Tenn. Ernie rec too. Never heard that one.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Sorry about the messed up Topeka Hartte file.
	12:42pm hyde: @pss my problem is that all of the shows I listen to regularly at FMU make me want all these albums I didn't know about, and I don't have enough money to keep up
	12:43pm listener james from westwood: hey, it wasn't as messed up as chet's teeth!
	12:44pm pacific standard simon: Money isn't the answer to every problem, if you know what I mean.
	12:45pm hyde: @pss your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
	12:48pm pacific standard simon: OK, this set is already making me happy.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: I know what you mean, Simon...nudge-wink. I didn't know the Chet story.
	12:48pm Jeff Golick: Hellooooooooooo, kitty!
	12:55pm pacific standard simon: For a good time, search Google Images for Hello Kitty. Just sayin'...
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: But...I'm already having a good time!
	12:59pm pacific standard simon: Oh, me too, Uncle Michael -- all I REALLY need is your show.
	1:00pm davex: I sense an instant theme.
	1:00pm pacific standard simon: A cup of tea and thou.
	1:00pm listener james from westwood: phenylketonurics note: instant love contains phenylalanine.
	1:01pm davex: James, easy for you to say.
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: PIHKAL
	1:02pm pacific standard simon: The cat & duck GIF needs to be married to a Soul Train music bed and posted on YouTube.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: do it
	1:05pm pacific standard simon: I'm having too good a time, right now.
	1:10pm βrian: phenylethylalanine, no? Choco-love.
	1:10pm Jeff Golick: Nice Shulgin ref you snuck in there, UM.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: I read it eons ago.
	1:13pm Jeff Golick: I gather he's not doing so well nowsabout.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: I hadn't heard.
	1:14pm listener james from westwood: brian, i'll put that up against nutrasweet any old day.
	1:16pm βrian: When I was waiting tables, I was sometimes asked for Equal. "I'm sorry," I replied. "I have no Equal."
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I am without Equal.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Bo sure can fling the bullshit.
	1:19pm Robert: Aw, darn, just looked at the playlist now. I was hoping to learn the Schaefer beer jingle was originally something with a previous name & different lyrics that they just adapted to a jingle. Kind of like when I heard "Drink Me" announced as the source of the Mr. Softee jingle, and assumed it was an old European folk tune, only to learn the next time it was played that that was the band name playing Songs For Ice Cream Trucks.
	1:20pm pacific standard simon: Now here's a musical marriage that should've lasted longer. Imagine Bo with TWO maraca players! Bo probably hated Phil's bass style, though.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Phil sounds great on this! That wasn't Schaeffer, Robert.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I can't plug existing, fantasy advertisers.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: That's why I can't tell you that was the Schlitz jingle. Oops.
	1:24pm Robert: Darn, you're right, I meant to write "Schlitz". Then there was the time on WQXR the DJ (wasn't Steve Post) announced cuts from a record as being of Baroque tunes, causing the audience to marvel at how old the originals to tunes like "Erie Canal" were before he finally revealed the hoax, explaining that it was arrangements of more recent stuff in Baroque, etc. style.
	1:24pm Robert: Come to think of it, it wouldn't even scan right if it was "When you're out of Schaefer....:
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: "When your down to Schlitz, you're out of beer."
	1:26pm Robert: And then there was the time I played my grandparents' Yugoslav records for company, only to learn from my friends that one cut was "Buffalo Gals" in Croatian.
	1:29pm pacific standard simon: I don't disagree with your appreciation of Phil Lesh's playing, but sometimes these old R'n'B guys can have a problem with the modern bass styles with lots of fiddly bits.
	1:33pm Alex In Illinois: Schlitz is long gone, right? The last few times I have had to drive North of the Chedder Curtain to the Milkaukee area, I have seen that what was once the Schlitz brewery is either gone, or something else. Does anyone remember the Schlitz Malt Liquor ad with Rufus Thomas? Hey! I found it onYoutube: www.youtube.com...
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Schlitz is owned by Miller now and has revived "Classic 1960's Formula" which is really pretty good slamming beer and what I'm having right now.
	1:35pm pacific standard simon: "From the land of sky-blue waters, Comes the beer refreshing..." Hamms? I forget.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Yes, I know that ad well!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: hamms is still terrible.
	1:37pm pacific standard simon: I've had good luck with most Pyramid varieties, and Sierra Nevada as well.
	1:38pm listener james from westwood: loved the lovecraft! iirc i first heard this VU track in freshman year of college, courtesy of a stone VU freak. used to claim everything past the mid-60s was inspired by the band or lou reed. i later tricked him into buying metal machine music.
	1:39pm listener james from westwood: "suddenly rough hands gripped his package" meant something very different in those days
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: There's a great live version of the Drifter that I should play one day. Lovecraft was pretty great. Dual lead vocalists...not two...dual. Unusual.
	1:41pm Jeff Golick: IIRC, this VU cut has the vocals and music in two entirely different channels, so that if you pan to one side or the other, you can isolate either the words or the band.
	1:42pm pacific standard simon: Why do I get the feeling that this is a recycled manuscript from Lou Reed's college years, and that he got an A- on it?
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: it's true
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: It's true, Jeff. I had a stereo with a broken channel.
	1:43pm Waldo Jeffers: My brain hurts
	1:49pm Jeff Golick: Poor Waldo Jeffers.
	1:53pm pacific standard simon: Oddly, my local microbrewery has NO product at all in the local grocery stores.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Are they a very small operation?
	1:56pm listener james from westwood: that's weird, simon, the first thing sierra nevada did when they were just starting up was to make sales calls to local package stores and bars.
	1:57pm pacific standard simon: Now with Parks, money sometimes is the only answer to your problems. As far as I can tell, the only way for me to get a replacement for JUMP is to buy a very expensive collector's copy, or a digital copy from Amazon.
	1:58pm pacific standard simon: Here's my boys: www.bainbridgebeer.com
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: contact me off-comments, Simon
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: Leaving in 1/2 an hour to go retrieve our new dog from the shelter. We were thinking of calling the dog Ruby, since we all feel like we're crossing the rubicon.
	1:59pm Alex In Illinois: How do you buy the beer if it is not in the grocery store? Does the microbrewery let you bring your own container, and fill that up each time?
	2:01pm Alex In Illinois: So you are in Washington State. I recall a few weeks ago you mentioned picking up rotten apples, when the apples here in Illinios were not even ripe or full size yet. I wondered where you were that had the apples already rotten.
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: Oh Ruby, don't do your business in town.
	2:03pm pacific standard simon: Alex, they have their own taproom, and are available on tap all over the island. Probably on keg, too.
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: I don't know what kind of apples they are, but they're smallish & sour, fit only for sauce, pies and cider. The pears are nowhere near ripe yet.
	2:05pm Alex In Illinois: I see. That way, you have to leave the house whenever you want some.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: The next set will feature some of the rock.
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: Is it just me, or have the cat and goose been slowly speeding up this whole time?
	2:20pm Doug Schulkind: Goodbye Ruby poo day?
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: Well, now that you've said something, Jeff, I'll be unable to NOT see it going faster.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: It's just them, Jeff. Good luck, Doug.
	2:22pm pacific standard simon: @UM - What a lemon.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: Quite so, Simon!
	2:23pm Jeff Golick: Oh, yeah: Happy Elvis' death day, everyone.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: watch out for head fakes
	2:24pm efd: oh hello, Gasolin'!
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: ed'd up fake endings!
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I can't think because I like the Kinks.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I thought that would shake you out of your treehouse, Evan.
	2:27pm efd: You thought correctly.
	2:28pm Jeff Golick: I freakin' love this MC5 cut.
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: This whole album is awesome. It helps that John Sinclair hated it, too.
	2:29pm pacific standard simon: And the cat and duck seem to be rockin' out.
	2:29pm Alex In Illinois: How did this song not become an anthem?
	2:31pm Alex In Illinois: I mean the American Ruse. I wish I had heard it when I was a punk-rockin teen, and covered it.
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: Is the same Del Shannon that did Runaway?
	2:32pm Jeff Golick: It's an anthem of mine, @Alex. Not the same thing, I realize.
	2:33pm Jeff Golick: @pss: "It helps that John Sinclair hated it, too." If I could favorite this comment, I would.
	2:35pm pacific standard simon: What, no Allen Lanier tribute today?
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Bring out your dead.
	2:36pm pacific standard simon: Thank you, Jeff. I hope to be back to commenting on your show soon.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: it ain't fair, John Sinclair...
	2:44pm Jeff Golick: Sweet, @pss, but no pressure. That's why the good lord created archives, after all.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org... Max Frost
	2:47pm pacific standard simon: What's next, Lancelot Link and The Evolution Revolution?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Not necessarily.
	2:49pm pacific standard simon: The great thing about imaginary bands is that you don't have to see them old and creepy and dead.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Have you seen the Banana Splits lately? It's sad.
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: As you say, there are no guilty pleasures, so I'll just say that I like this song.
	2:52pm Jeff Golick: LANCELOT LINK! I had a Lancelot Link coloring book as a kid. Oh, here it is! $40 on ebay: www.ebay.com...
	2:52pm Dominick: That was a kick ass version of Paxton Quigley
	2:52pm pacific standard simon: No, but I saw Mickey Dolenz in that Nilsson doc -- and I have to say that The Monkees were not imaginary enough.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: Can you imagine how much it would be worth if someone had COLORED in it?!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: The Monkees were only slightly more imaginary than the Grass Roots.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: is the seller of that comic book dave the spazz? of course not; he'd never let it get away! thanks a ton for the mighty program, uncle michael!
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Where did I read that story about the Grass Roots' singer-of-the-moment beating Jim Morrison & Iggy to the punch by playing with his willy on stage?
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: That's gotta be worth a star on a sidewalk right there.
	3:02pm pacific standard simon: There's a lovely documentary about Transformer on Netflix streaming.
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: ooooh
	3:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the tunes and 'toons, UM! Great weekend to one and all.
	3:04pm pacific standard simon: These foolish things remind me of you, Lou.
	3:06pm pacific standard simon: You'll be hearing from me, UM.
	🛒 3:06pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle Michael. I missed Motorcycle Irene. Goodbye too. Bugger
	12:47am Michael Shelley: great show!~

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 16, 2013

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.

Kind of like when I heard "Drink Me" announced as the source of the Mr. Softee jingle, and assumed it was an old European folk tune, only to learn the next time it was played that that was the band name playing Songs For Ice Cream Trucks.
	1:20pm pacific standard simon: Now here's a musical marriage that should've lasted longer. Imagine Bo with TWO maraca players! Bo probably hated Phil's bass style, though.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Phil sounds great on this! That wasn't Schaeffer, Robert.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I can't plug existing, fantasy advertisers.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: That's why I can't tell you that was the Schlitz jingle. Oops.
	1:24pm Robert: Darn, you're right, I meant to write "Schlitz". Then there was the time on WQXR the DJ (wasn't Steve Post) announced cuts from a record as being of Baroque tunes, causing the audience to marvel at how old the originals to tunes like "Erie Canal" were before he finally revealed the hoax, explaining that it was arrangements of more recent stuff in Baroque, etc. style.
	1:24pm Robert: Come to think of it, it wouldn't even scan right if it was "When you're out of Schaefer....:
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: "When your down to Schlitz, you're out of beer."
	1:26pm Robert: And then there was the time I played my grandparents' Yugoslav records for company, only to learn from my friends that one cut was "Buffalo Gals" in Croatian.
	1:29pm pacific standard simon: I don't disagree with your appreciation of Phil Lesh's playing, but sometimes these old R'n'B guys can have a problem with the modern bass styles with lots of fiddly bits.
	1:33pm Alex In Illinois: Schlitz is long gone, right? The last few times I have had to drive North of the Chedder Curtain to the Milkaukee area, I have seen that what was once the Schlitz brewery is either gone, or something else. Does anyone remember the Schlitz Malt Liquor ad with Rufus Thomas? Hey! I found it onYoutube: www.youtube.com...
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Schlitz is owned by Miller now and has revived "Classic 1960's Formula" which is really pretty good slamming beer and what I'm having right now.
	1:35pm pacific standard simon: "From the land of sky-blue waters, Comes the beer refreshing..." Hamms? I forget.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Yes, I know that ad well!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: hamms is still terrible.
	1:37pm pacific standard simon: I've had good luck with most Pyramid varieties, and Sierra Nevada as well.
	1:38pm listener james from westwood: loved the lovecraft! iirc i first heard this VU track in freshman year of college, courtesy of a stone VU freak. used to claim everything past the mid-60s was inspired by the band or lou reed. i later tricked him into buying metal machine music.
	1:39pm listener james from westwood: "suddenly rough hands gripped his package" meant something very different in those days
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: There's a great live version of the Drifter that I should play one day. Lovecraft was pretty great. Dual lead vocalists...not two...dual. Unusual.
	1:41pm Jeff Golick: IIRC, this VU cut has the vocals and music in two entirely different channels, so that if you pan to one side or the other, you can isolate either the words or the band.
	1:42pm pacific standard simon: Why do I get the feeling that this is a recycled manuscript from Lou Reed's college years, and that he got an A- on it?
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: it's true
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: It's true, Jeff. I had a stereo with a broken channel.
	1:43pm Waldo Jeffers: My brain hurts
	1:49pm Jeff Golick: Poor Waldo Jeffers.
	1:53pm pacific standard simon: Oddly, my local microbrewery has NO product at all in the local grocery stores.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Are they a very small operation?
	1:56pm listener james from westwood: that's weird, simon, the first thing sierra nevada did when they were just starting up was to make sales calls to local package stores and bars.
	1:57pm pacific standard simon: Now with Parks, money sometimes is the only answer to your problems. As far as I can tell, the only way for me to get a replacement for JUMP is to buy a very expensive collector's copy, or a digital copy from Amazon.
	1:58pm pacific standard simon: Here's my boys: www.bainbridgebeer.com
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: contact me off-comments, Simon
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: Leaving in 1/2 an hour to go retrieve our new dog from the shelter. We were thinking of calling the dog Ruby, since we all feel like we're crossing the rubicon.
	1:59pm Alex In Illinois: How do you buy the beer if it is not in the grocery store? Does the microbrewery let you bring your own container, and fill that up each time?
	2:01pm Alex In Illinois: So you are in Washington State. I recall a few weeks ago you mentioned picking up rotten apples, when the apples here in Illinios were not even ripe or full size yet. I wondered where you were that had the apples already rotten.
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: Oh Ruby, don't do your business in town.
	2:03pm pacific standard simon: Alex, they have their own taproom, and are available on tap all over the island. Probably on keg, too.
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: I don't know what kind of apples they are, but they're smallish & sour, fit only for sauce, pies and cider. The pears are nowhere near ripe yet.
	2:05pm Alex In Illinois: I see. That way, you have to leave the house whenever you want some.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: The next set will feature some of the rock.
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: Is it just me, or have the cat and goose been slowly speeding up this whole time?
	2:20pm Doug Schulkind: Goodbye Ruby poo day?
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: Well, now that you've said something, Jeff, I'll be unable to NOT see it going faster.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: It's just them, Jeff. Good luck, Doug.
	2:22pm pacific standard simon: @UM - What a lemon.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: Quite so, Simon!
	2:23pm Jeff Golick: Oh, yeah: Happy Elvis' death day, everyone.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: watch out for head fakes
	2:24pm efd: oh hello, Gasolin'!
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: ed'd up fake endings!
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I can't think because I like the Kinks.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I thought that would shake you out of your treehouse, Evan.
	2:27pm efd: You thought correctly.
	2:28pm Jeff Golick: I freakin' love this MC5 cut.
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: This whole album is awesome. It helps that John Sinclair hated it, too.
	2:29pm pacific standard simon: And the cat and duck seem to be rockin' out.
	2:29pm Alex In Illinois: How did this song not become an anthem?
	2:31pm Alex In Illinois: I mean the American Ruse. I wish I had heard it when I was a punk-rockin teen, and covered it.
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: Is the same Del Shannon that did Runaway?
	2:32pm Jeff Golick: It's an anthem of mine, @Alex. Not the same thing, I realize.
	2:33pm Jeff Golick: @pss: "It helps that John Sinclair hated it, too." If I could favorite this comment, I would.
	2:35pm pacific standard simon: What, no Allen Lanier tribute today?
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Bring out your dead.
	2:36pm pacific standard simon: Thank you, Jeff. I hope to be back to commenting on your show soon.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: it ain't fair, John Sinclair...
	2:44pm Jeff Golick: Sweet, @pss, but no pressure. That's why the good lord created archives, after all.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org... Max Frost
	2:47pm pacific standard simon: What's next, Lancelot Link and The Evolution Revolution?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Not necessarily.
	2:49pm pacific standard simon: The great thing about imaginary bands is that you don't have to see them old and creepy and dead.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Have you seen the Banana Splits lately? It's sad.
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: As you say, there are no guilty pleasures, so I'll just say that I like this song.
	2:52pm Jeff Golick: LANCELOT LINK! I had a Lancelot Link coloring book as a kid. Oh, here it is! $40 on ebay: www.ebay.com...
	2:52pm Dominick: That was a kick ass version of Paxton Quigley
	2:52pm pacific standard simon: No, but I saw Mickey Dolenz in that Nilsson doc -- and I have to say that The Monkees were not imaginary enough.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: Can you imagine how much it would be worth if someone had COLORED in it?!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: The Monkees were only slightly more imaginary than the Grass Roots.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: is the seller of that comic book dave the spazz? of course not; he'd never let it get away! thanks a ton for the mighty program, uncle michael!
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Where did I read that story about the Grass Roots' singer-of-the-moment beating Jim Morrison & Iggy to the punch by playing with his willy on stage?
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: That's gotta be worth a star on a sidewalk right there.
	3:02pm pacific standard simon: There's a lovely documentary about Transformer on Netflix streaming.
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: ooooh
	3:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the tunes and 'toons, UM! Great weekend to one and all.
	3:04pm pacific standard simon: These foolish things remind me of you, Lou.
	3:06pm pacific standard simon: You'll be hearing from me, UM.
	🛒 3:06pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle Michael. I missed Motorcycle Irene. Goodbye too. Bugger
	12:47am Michael Shelley: great show!~
