Listener comments!
	11:52am βrian: What's the origin of the name Topeka?
	11:56am βrian: Never mind. "Topeka means "to dig good potatoes" in the languages of the Kansa and the Ioway." (Says wikipedia.)
	🛒 12:00pm Brian in UK: I might become gifophobic.
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: howdy, UM and all! another friday, another unsettling gif.
	12:02pm Jeff Golick: In that gent on the lower left not saying "Jeff?" Skeered.
	12:02pm pacific standard simon: Please play ALL of the "hinky dinky wang dang do" song at some point,
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: There's Hinky Dinky without Inky. Ever think of that?
	12:04pm hyde: i dig good potatoes, man
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: Chicago means "Onion field" in some native language.
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Howdy!
	12:05pm duke: This the second week in a row that I missed Doug's show. I'll probably get a formal reprimand and it will go on my permanent record. At least I'm here for Hinky Dinky
	12:06pm pacific standard simon: @Alex In Illinois - in Re your final Q on Doug's playlist: Yes, there are; all-night DJ standards from the '60s, in fact.
	12:08pm hyde: true confession: my favorite part of UM's show is often when the playlist gets long enough that I can scroll down past the creepy animated gif
	12:08pm pacific standard simon: Seattle is "The Man's" mangling of an Indian chief's name.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Same here!
	12:09pm βrian: I recall Winooski means "wild onion" in Abenaki. (Beautiful Winooski, Vermont.)
	🛒 12:09pm Brian in UK: @duke I did 100 lines for missing Bill Mac's show without prior notice. It is tough being an FMU listener.
	12:09pm Alex In Illinois: @Duke: Missing Doug's show is already a form of punishment, just like not being allowed to have ice cream or cake.
	12:10pm pacific standard simon: Just buy an indulgence during the Marathon, fr chrissakes!
	12:11pm βrian: Deanimator is my friend: github.com...
	12:11pm pacific standard simon: See Joe McGasko behind the barn.
	🛒 12:11pm Brian in UK: @Alex I think it was Grapevine by CCR.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: So what's the topic for the day?
	12:13pm listener james from westwood: curtis!!
	12:14pm βrian: Good potatoes, clearly.
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Brian, you spared me from providing an embarrassing answer to your question. We can be best spuds.
	12:18pm βrian: Let us proclaim our love, then, for Anna. — Potatoes Anna. (Potatoes, parmesan, butter, rosemary optional.) Slice thinly, layer, and bake until brown.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Vicchysoise!
	12:21pm Alex In Illinois: @βrian: Different Natives, but the same vegatable. Some towns in the US were named after Native American Chiefs by William Clark of Lewis & Clark. He was in charge of "Indian Affairs" for a large region, and while he was part of the whole system of displacing the Native Americans, he also was sad about it, and named towns after certain Chiefs to keep their names frombeing forgotten. He also commisioned portraites of some of them too. Can't say he was all good or all bad, but that sometimes history gets complicated and messy.
	12:24pm Alex In Illinois: @Uncle Michael: I have not had that in years! When I was a kid (in Missouri), we used have that about every week in the summer. Other evenings, it was cold potato soup, or cold cucumber soup. Hmm. It is kind of strange that people here in the Chicago area do not have cold soup in the summer all the time.
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: You are knee-deep in it, Uncle M.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: In the Hoopla?
	12:36pm Doug Schulkind: The frog. Knee-deep. Oh forget it.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Sure...rib it in.
	12:40pm efd: Ah Mel Torme, the Velvet Frog.
	12:41pm βrian: This timeline is receding into the past. Already I'm not born yet.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: I'll return you safely to now...I promise.
	12:43pm Holly in NC: EXCELLENT deep cut, UM!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Holly.
	12:44pm still b/p: efd ftw
	12:45pm pacific standard simon: Is the GIF from a Louise Brooks movie?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Go listen to efd'a Paul Humphreys interview on his archive after I'm gone. It was great.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: This track needs less saxophone.
	12:46pm listener james from westwood: it was indeed.
	12:47pm efd: thanks UM and LJFW!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: I was never really that into that kind of music but I liked what I heard the other night and Paul just seemed like such a well...bloke.
	12:49pm Holly in NC: @UM - I find sax to be integral part of the charm! And cosign re @efd's interview w Paul Humphries - I've only recently gotten into omd, not a fan back in the day (I was very rockist) -and seriously, one of best live interviews I've ever had pleasure to listen to. Both efd & Paul beyond charming ;-)
	12:52pm Doug Schulkind: I'm sending this track to Dan Weiss.
	12:53pm Holly in NC: Now I need/want drum accompaniment to any auctioneering - anyone who missed Doug's show see: www.youtube.com...
	12:53pm efd: Come on, enough about me. How 'bout that auctioneer!
	12:53pm Doug Schulkind: No I'm not.
	12:53pm still b/p: That track needed more gavel.
	🛒 12:54pm Brian in UK: Used to have Walk on Bye (Wait on the corner) by LeRoy.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Brian, that was...at one time the best selling country single of all time. Don't know if it still is.
	12:59pm listener james from westwood: there's a record of various auctioneers floating around the fmu library. it;s reallty mesmerizing. i once heard scott williams play a track from that disc, and one from that collection of murmur-y elizabeth clare prophet "calls," simultaneously. i damn near became a smoker and a cultist by the end of it.
	12:59pm Holly in NC: Can never, ever go wrong with Sun Ra. Gotta leave for a bit, have great afternoon/weekend, everyone. Happy Friday! More sax :-)
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: See ya later Holly.
	1:00pm Holly in NC: Oh! @ljfw - do you like the Rounder collection Hollerin' ? Different, but appeals to me on same level
	1:03pm pacific standard simon: Going now too. Might make it back before the end.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: bye Simon.
	1:05pm Holly in NC: UM, everytime I listen to your show I find it far too hard to disengage. After this DC song, please play some crappy music. Thank you in advance.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: You bet!
	1:13pm Holly in NC: friggin' liar.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: dash when you hear a mic break!
	1:15pm Holly in NC: Oh damn you to hell, UM, to hell, I say. NO ONE can walk out on this song, unless they're a souless cretin.
	1:16pm listener james from westwood: holly, it very much sounds like something i would like!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: We now return you to our regularly scheduled, crappy music.
	1:26pm hyde: this is a hilarious tom t hall tune
	1:27pm Holly in NC: Ok, really going. Had to check Terry Allen's version of New Delhi Train, which does not improve on Little Feat. But, same Terry Allen lp (Lubbock (on Everything)) offers 'Truckload of Art', which I of couse had to listen to in full. NOW I am going, I am not even turning on sound for Tom T Hall, no I am not.
	1:27pm Alex In Illinois: Paducah! That is one of the towns named by William Clark to memorialize a chief. At least according to the historical marker in Paducah,
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Tom T. = Genius
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes I wonder if "Chief" meant whoever got up and said "I'll go see what white-eyes wants."
	1:32pm Stanley: This is hilarious.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Bob & Ray = Genius
	1:35pm hyde: I'm tempted to say something about Jo Ann Campbell, but I don't want to inspire anyone to say: Jo Ann Campbell = Genius
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Not a genius! Say it.
	1:37pm listener james from westwood: either this springfield cut sounds van halen-y or van halen sounded springfieldian.
	1:38pm Jeff Golick: Love Bob & Ray. Also love Chris Elliott. When asked which was his father, he would say something like, "Bob...or Ray. One of those guys."
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: I can believe it.
	1:39pm efd: rah-rah-rasputin!
	1:40pm listener james from westwood: heh, this boney m would pair nicely w. that dschingis khan cut "moksau."
	1:40pm northguineahills: Boney M, didn't expect that.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: This song always comes on when I'm mowing the lawn. shrug
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: "moskau." bozhe moi!
	1:49pm northguineahills: MERLE!!!!!
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Merle = Super genius
	1:50pm hyde: Merle is touring this fall, people!
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: First time I saw Merle was right after 9/11 at a casino and there was not one jingoistic word from his lips. The man doesn't preach or pander.
	1:56pm northguineahills: Well, Merle did release some records on Anti records in the last decade, and was against the Iraq War.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: And they DO smoke marijuana in Muskogee...
	1:57pm Jeff Golick: Merle welcomes the haters: cdn0.sbnation.com...
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: That's great!
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Ever see the comic version of this that Gilbert Shelton did?
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: And by "this", I mean "Chickens".
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: I have not. I would like to.
	2:04pm pacific standard simon: Can be arranged. Hi, I'm back!
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: I'm proud to be a hippie from Olema.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Hippie from Mississippi is an actual answer song
	2:09pm pacific standard simon: So's the Olema one, by The Youngbloods.
	2:10pm listener james from westwood: there is also an "asshole from el paso," but more novelty-ish.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: I don't know the Youngbloods track.
	2:13pm pacific standard simon: You will! "We still take in strangers if they're haggard..." Great stuff. So, I'm NOT going blind in one eye. But the eye dilation drops have fixed it so I can barely read the screen for the next couple hours.
	2:16pm Jeff Golick: Glad to hear it, @pss! The not-going-blind part, that is. As someone who has suffered two detached retinas, I've learned (the hard way) not to mess about with one's eyeball health.
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: I'm overdue for a dilated exam. Ugh. Glad you're not going blind, Simon.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: i'm paranoid about my glaucoma risk. mom had it, so i ask about my pressure number at each visit. it's been normal so far. can't risk missing the chance to treat it early if it appears.
	2:19pm pacific standard simon: Thanks, guys, and sorry to hear that, Jeff. The rest of you, take care of your eyes!
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Next track...apologies in advance.
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: Is it my imagination, Michael, or have you been on a bit of a Tradewinds jag the past few weeks?
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: mayyyybe
	2:23pm badseed: nick sounds a little speedy today
	2:23pm Alex In Illinois: Is this being played at the intended speed?
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: I'm afraid so.
	2:24pm pacific standard simon: Heh. My wife has a deep crush on Nick. I should make her listen.
	2:25pm Alex In Illinois: I think I have heard a different version, but this one is groovier.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: The Bad Speeds
	2:27pm listener james from westwood: ^^^ winner winner chicken dinner
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: Thurl Ravenscroft at 78?
	2:31pm listener james from westwood: hell, thurl at 16 rpm would be terrifying
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Would it be recognizable as a human voice?
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: No kidding! Reports just in from earthquake detection.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Mccartneyesque bass line on this one.
	2:36pm Jeff Golick: Always liked the production on this EC&A cut.
	2:36pm pacific standard simon: I love this show.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Simon.
	2:41pm Jeff Golick: It's days like this (i.e., Fridays, from 9am-3pm) that make it gloriously apparent how many sublime sounds there are yet to be discovered.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: and rediscovered...
	2:45pm Jeff Golick: Indeed! Baby's on fire.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: better throw her in the water
	2:48pm pacific standard simon: Springsteen's on fire, too. And Richard Pryor.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Dwight Twilley...
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: I sense a potential set theme possibility.
	2:52pm pacific standard simon: You ARE my good thing, Uncle Michael.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: I'm burnin' for you.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: In a totally non-creepy way.
	2:53pm pacific standard simon: She says she's burning with optimism's flame.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: she's not the only flame in town
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: I really appreciate you people hanging out while I do this. It's so much easier this way.
	2:57pm pacific standard simon: It's a pleasure.
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Sparks...are flying.
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, as ever, for the musical edumatainment, Uncle Michael!
	2:58pm hyde: thanks for spinning tunes while we hang out! it'd be a lot quieter if you didn't.
	2:58pm listener james from westwood: what?! sparks is on tour?
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: actually, James...I think maybe so...some dates...
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: thanks, doug, and uncle michael for the six-hour power hour! a glorious weekend to all!
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Let there be a weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: rend those garments!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 6, 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.

	12:59pm Holly in NC: Can never, ever go wrong with Sun Ra. Gotta leave for a bit, have great afternoon/weekend, everyone. Happy Friday! More sax :-)
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: See ya later Holly.
	1:00pm Holly in NC: Oh! @ljfw - do you like the Rounder collection Hollerin' ? Different, but appeals to me on same level
	1:03pm pacific standard simon: Going now too. Might make it back before the end.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: bye Simon.
	1:05pm Holly in NC: UM, everytime I listen to your show I find it far too hard to disengage. After this DC song, please play some crappy music. Thank you in advance.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: You bet!
	1:13pm Holly in NC: friggin' liar.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: dash when you hear a mic break!
	1:15pm Holly in NC: Oh damn you to hell, UM, to hell, I say. NO ONE can walk out on this song, unless they're a souless cretin.
	1:16pm listener james from westwood: holly, it very much sounds like something i would like!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: We now return you to our regularly scheduled, crappy music.
	1:26pm hyde: this is a hilarious tom t hall tune
	1:27pm Holly in NC: Ok, really going. Had to check Terry Allen's version of New Delhi Train, which does not improve on Little Feat. But, same Terry Allen lp (Lubbock (on Everything)) offers 'Truckload of Art', which I of couse had to listen to in full. NOW I am going, I am not even turning on sound for Tom T Hall, no I am not.
	1:27pm Alex In Illinois: Paducah! That is one of the towns named by William Clark to memorialize a chief. At least according to the historical marker in Paducah,
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Tom T. = Genius
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes I wonder if "Chief" meant whoever got up and said "I'll go see what white-eyes wants."
	1:32pm Stanley: This is hilarious.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Bob & Ray = Genius
	1:35pm hyde: I'm tempted to say something about Jo Ann Campbell, but I don't want to inspire anyone to say: Jo Ann Campbell = Genius
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Not a genius! Say it.
	1:37pm listener james from westwood: either this springfield cut sounds van halen-y or van halen sounded springfieldian.
	1:38pm Jeff Golick: Love Bob & Ray. Also love Chris Elliott. When asked which was his father, he would say something like, "Bob...or Ray. One of those guys."
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: I can believe it.
	1:39pm efd: rah-rah-rasputin!
	1:40pm listener james from westwood: heh, this boney m would pair nicely w. that dschingis khan cut "moksau."
	1:40pm northguineahills: Boney M, didn't expect that.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: This song always comes on when I'm mowing the lawn. shrug
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: "moskau." bozhe moi!
	1:49pm northguineahills: MERLE!!!!!
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Merle = Super genius
	1:50pm hyde: Merle is touring this fall, people!
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: First time I saw Merle was right after 9/11 at a casino and there was not one jingoistic word from his lips. The man doesn't preach or pander.
	1:56pm northguineahills: Well, Merle did release some records on Anti records in the last decade, and was against the Iraq War.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: And they DO smoke marijuana in Muskogee...
	1:57pm Jeff Golick: Merle welcomes the haters: cdn0.sbnation.com...
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: That's great!
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Ever see the comic version of this that Gilbert Shelton did?
	2:02pm pacific standard simon: And by "this", I mean "Chickens".
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: I have not. I would like to.
	2:04pm pacific standard simon: Can be arranged. Hi, I'm back!
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: I'm proud to be a hippie from Olema.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: Hippie from Mississippi is an actual answer song
	2:09pm pacific standard simon: So's the Olema one, by The Youngbloods.
	2:10pm listener james from westwood: there is also an "asshole from el paso," but more novelty-ish.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: I don't know the Youngbloods track.
	2:13pm pacific standard simon: You will! "We still take in strangers if they're haggard..." Great stuff. So, I'm NOT going blind in one eye. But the eye dilation drops have fixed it so I can barely read the screen for the next couple hours.
	2:16pm Jeff Golick: Glad to hear it, @pss! The not-going-blind part, that is. As someone who has suffered two detached retinas, I've learned (the hard way) not to mess about with one's eyeball health.
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: I'm overdue for a dilated exam. Ugh. Glad you're not going blind, Simon.
	2:19pm listener james from westwood: i'm paranoid about my glaucoma risk. mom had it, so i ask about my pressure number at each visit. it's been normal so far. can't risk missing the chance to treat it early if it appears.
	2:19pm pacific standard simon: Thanks, guys, and sorry to hear that, Jeff. The rest of you, take care of your eyes!
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Next track...apologies in advance.
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: Is it my imagination, Michael, or have you been on a bit of a Tradewinds jag the past few weeks?
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: mayyyybe
	2:23pm badseed: nick sounds a little speedy today
	2:23pm Alex In Illinois: Is this being played at the intended speed?
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: I'm afraid so.
	2:24pm pacific standard simon: Heh. My wife has a deep crush on Nick. I should make her listen.
	2:25pm Alex In Illinois: I think I have heard a different version, but this one is groovier.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: The Bad Speeds
	2:27pm listener james from westwood: ^^^ winner winner chicken dinner
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: Thurl Ravenscroft at 78?
	2:31pm listener james from westwood: hell, thurl at 16 rpm would be terrifying
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Would it be recognizable as a human voice?
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: No kidding! Reports just in from earthquake detection.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Mccartneyesque bass line on this one.
	2:36pm Jeff Golick: Always liked the production on this EC&A cut.
	2:36pm pacific standard simon: I love this show.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Simon.
	2:41pm Jeff Golick: It's days like this (i.e., Fridays, from 9am-3pm) that make it gloriously apparent how many sublime sounds there are yet to be discovered.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: and rediscovered...
	2:45pm Jeff Golick: Indeed! Baby's on fire.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: better throw her in the water
	2:48pm pacific standard simon: Springsteen's on fire, too. And Richard Pryor.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Dwight Twilley...
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: I sense a potential set theme possibility.
	2:52pm pacific standard simon: You ARE my good thing, Uncle Michael.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: I'm burnin' for you.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: In a totally non-creepy way.
	2:53pm pacific standard simon: She says she's burning with optimism's flame.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: she's not the only flame in town
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: I really appreciate you people hanging out while I do this. It's so much easier this way.
	2:57pm pacific standard simon: It's a pleasure.
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Sparks...are flying.
	2:58pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, as ever, for the musical edumatainment, Uncle Michael!
	2:58pm hyde: thanks for spinning tunes while we hang out! it'd be a lot quieter if you didn't.
	2:58pm listener james from westwood: what?! sparks is on tour?
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: actually, James...I think maybe so...some dates...
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: thanks, doug, and uncle michael for the six-hour power hour! a glorious weekend to all!
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Let there be a weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: rend those garments!
