	🛒 12:08pm Brian in UK: I think it is Tom Petty.
	12:10pm Stanley: Uncle Michael and all good listeners. Boy am I glad to be listening in. Its been non-stop all day.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Glad you're here Stanley. Hear, here.
	12:11pm listener james from westwood: this pagliaro cut: got-DAMN!
	12:12pm Doug Schulkind: Didn't he play 3rd base for the Yankees? Oh no, that was Mike Pagliarulo. My bad.
	12:13pm Stanley: When I was a young lad, I lost my girlfriend to a guy with one black glove. The gif is fair freaking me out.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: My second favorite Pag track.
	12:13pm βrian: Say, are these guys known as Zed-Zed Top in the U.K.?
	12:13pm still b/p: I think she's playing part of Bach's centrifugue in B flat minor.
	🛒 12:14pm Brian in UK: Stanley how is the life solo?
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: stanley, was it hunter thompson's attorney? www.gonzo.org...
	12:14pm pacific standard simon: This is how they make Wendy's shakes.
	🛒 12:16pm Brian in UK: @βrian You bet. Beta boss man.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Pippi Slipped-Stockings
	🛒 12:17pm Brian in UK: Is this Second City Sound on the brass?
	12:17pm Stanley: Hi Brian - not bad. So long as I keep my daily Skype call appointment. Tuesday night was US beer tasting night, Wed I was at the cinema to see Night of the Hunter, tonight is a Scottish Independence gig. This weekend its..... and so on.
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Brian, I have no idea.
	12:18pm glenn: i could also listen to 3 hours of suzy quatro.
	12:19pm βrian: That black glove could be the prosthetic hand of Evil Master Han from Enter The Dragon.
	12:19pm Gary: Cinco estrellas para la señorita Quatro
	🛒 12:19pm Brian in UK: First quote I remember of SQ over here 'I'm no bull dyke'
	12:19pm βrian: Not four hours?
	12:20pm glenn: heh. i call them zed zed top. it just makes them that much more gooder.
	12:21pm Stanley: @ βrian - or the dismembered arm of Alvin Stardust.
	12:22pm still b/p: In my mind, Suzi Quatro is forever in a leather suit, as I first saw her in 70s pics.
	12:22pm pacific standard simon: How come Suzi never did one of those "duets" records like Sinatra or Bennett? Suzi & Joan Jett -- a natural.
	12:23pm Stanley: what still b/p said oh yes
	12:24pm still b/p: And she still sees me in a rust colored three piece corduroy suit with wide lapels and a polka dotted necktie. With the tag still on the cuff...as it was at the suit's company Christmas party debut.
	12:24pm glenn: i think she's fucking fantastic. why she never became a huge star is beyond me.
	12:25pm Rich in Washington: I have a false memory of Pinky having appeared before Leather but Wikipedia tells me otherwise.
	12:27pm earrie: Same character. On the guy it was 'cool', on the woman it was 'tough'. Gender divides dragged backwards in the 70s.
	12:28pm βrian: Damn, I bet they'd find that un-amerkin. "Better dead than Zed," they'd say. They could change their name to Shibboleth ...
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: Love the horns.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Hell YES these guys are Kansas Music Hall of Fame inductees.
	12:33pm Gary: Un-Amerkin gherkins workin merkins, twerkin
	12:34pm Doug Schulkind: I guess I shouldn't say that I'm glad you are playing Wizards from Kansas more than if you were playing Kansas. But that will probably just make you play Kansas.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: No immediate plans to!
	12:35pm βrian: Is that a pickle 'neath your merkin, gherkin?
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I'm just happy to see you.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Before it's over I'll have ended up playing all of this album.
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: nobody's gonna complain about that. this one's a burner.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: I apologize for this.
	12:46pm Rich in Washington: Radio means never having to say you're sorry...
	12:48pm pacific standard simon: No guilty pleasures. Of course, you may not be playing it for pleasure -- it COULD be sadism.
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: Sounded kinda like that fellow who quit The Bonzo Dog Band to tour as one of the imaginary band that recorded "Winchester Cathedral".
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: Bob Kerr.
	12:52pm Pedro G.: Tuned in last week and now it's an official Friday ritual. The like the mic reverb.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Pedro. More reverb just for you...
	12:55pm TR In MI: This Carson Robison fella is like a mind-reader.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Country and Western...baby.
	12:57pm pacific standard simon: When you gonna play that Clint Eastwood number, Michael?
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: Eeww!
	12:58pm Whooda: Those cowboys sure are preoccupied with their gun out on the lonesome trail.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: One day soon. I promise.
	1:01pm still b/p: Was a psychotically sanguine sashay, there, Jerry.
	1:01pm pacific standard simon: That's the trouble with hippie music: aside from "Hey Joe", there just aren't enough songs about murder.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Ain't it the truth.
	1:04pm paul b: Jerry Irby .. Great Long Pistol That was as charmingly mannered and disturbing a song as I've heard in a long time. Even more so than "you think I'm psycho don't you Santa?"
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: I have to give credit...Bob Dylan played it on his show long before today.
	1:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Enjoying immensely. Uncle M, you're a great complement to the present sunshine here ( NOT BKLYN). NO vitamin D necessary!
	1:10pm pacific standard simon: HELL YES LISTENING TO THIS
	1:10pm ndbob: and I'm back
	1:11pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of credit, Matt 5 has been playing the crap out of that Frankie Ford song lately.
	1:11pm Whooda: Pufnstuf shoutout from Boing Boing yesterday. boingboing.net...
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: that song was like a 70s panel-van painting come to life.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: this track is art-damaged
	1:15pm Stanley: "I don't care no more about nothing you do. Oh no"
	1:15pm listener james from westwood: who among us isn't?
	1:16pm earrie: Oh, but the classical music/sports wordplay across the local airwaves. "Guy La Fleur que tu m'avais jetée" Thanks UM! Bon weekend.
	1:16pm Whooda: That Sidewinder song reminded me groggy background music to one of my confusing dreams which might involve the Mod Squad and octopuses.
	1:16pm Stanley: a triple negative - it works with me.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Leaving so soon, earrie?
	1:20pm earrie: Yeah, sports crossing with classical music in wordplay on the radio. How often does that happen? Have a great one.
	1:21pm ndbob: great song here
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: You too...thanks for stopping by! Take some trail mix.
	1:22pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm off. Thanks for the zany zounds, UM!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: BYE!
	1:24pm pacific standard simon: We'll always have Paris.
	1:26pm listener james from westwood: ah, this theme. so many weekday afternoons watching the reruns while doing homework.
	1:27pm pacific standard simon: subtext
	1:28pm pacific standard simon: Odd -- not to say "queer"...
	1:37pm pacific standard simon: Thought he was saying "Spanish fly".
	1:38pm Pedro G.: Fountains of Wayne. Excellent.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: There's not a wrong note on this album.
	1:42pm Doug Schulkind: I've got the opening ceremonies cranking via the BBC! They are just now taking the oath not to take performance enhancing drugs. I didn't know this was a comedy!
	1:44pm listener james from westwood: WHY ARE YOU HITTING AN 18 STAND YOU FOOL STAAAAND
	1:44pm Gary: I wanna see t.A.T.u tonight
	1:45pm pacific standard simon: "I pledge to take drugs seriously!"
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: no laughing matter
	1:47pm pacific standard simon: whiplash
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: hang on tight
	1:49pm pacific standard simon: Rhinoceros' drummer Billy Mundi -- an early defector from the Mothers of Invention.
	1:57pm ndbob: nice version here
	1:59pm βrian: Do I hear "goose farts on a foggy day?"
	1:59pm ndbob: was thinking that Brian:)
	1:59pm Gary: Must be off, but thanks for the thrills!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: See ya Gary...thanks for hanging out.
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Leo Kottke singing reminds me of Garrison Keillor.
	2:02pm Whooda: For us stream listeners, interesting to learn that Verizon is already capping bandwidth to extort more money for normal bandwidth access. libertycrier.com...
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Sadly, I can hear that.
	2:03pm βrian: Ladysmith Black Mambazo should do a cover of this, too.
	2:04pm Whooda: @brian. That thought made me smile
	2:06pm Jeff Golick: Ok if I take Gary's seat?
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: I'm sure it's still warm.
	2:09pm pacific standard simon: Interesting to see where you're taking this, UM.
	2:10pm Whooda: Until just now, I think I never fully accepted that this Cream song was actually a Buddy Holly cover.
	2:10pm ndbob: and it's my favorite Buddy song
	2:12pm Whooda: I mean Blind Faith, of course, Windwood is the pivotal influence here.
	2:16pm βrian: "Fraw(n)-swaz" Hardy, Mon Oncle Michael ! (Gotta make Gomez kiss that arm.)
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: I take pride in my perfect Ugly-American pronunciations.
	2:25pm βrian: And I'm a closet frog-o-phile. I blame it on a femme fatale.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Psyche!
	2:32pm Whooda: I looked up the definition of "wacky music" and it had a picture of this song in it.
	2:37pm pacific standard simon: More jarring? Does that mean Canned Heat?
	2:39pm pacific standard simon: Have a Ball!
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Simon, your powers of prediction remain consistent.
	2:40pm pacific standard simon: What a pickle.
	2:43pm βrian: The first noted printed use of 'funky,' in reference to music is 1954 in the OED. The meaning, smelly/musty, dates back to 1784.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Ok, so was the 1952 Funky Blues not named contemporaneously?
	2:45pm pacific standard simon: Well, if it was just an informal jam session...
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: I know...but I don't know when it was first named or released.
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: This thought goes through my head a lot during Hinky Dinky Time: "I know that voice...from...somewhere...."
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Terry Reid turned down "The New Yardbirds" and recommended Robert Plant. One of many poor career moves.
	2:50pm pacific standard simon: Maybe Reid was concerned about having all his songs "written" by someone else.
	2:51pm Whooda: UM It was named "Funky Blues" not "contemporaneously". Contemporaneously would have been a terrible name for a song. tehehe
	2:52pm pacific standard simon: NUGE!!!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: The Nuge, indeed.
	2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: Saw TR at BBKings about 6 years ago. Good show but too many Biker like folk
	2:53pm βrian: It's probably safe to assume the usage existed for quite some time before it popped up in the printed media used by the lexicographers.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to think Charlie Parker invented funk, if at all possible.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: Redd Fox was BORN funky.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Interesting, Kevin.
	2:56pm Whooda: In early jam sessions, musicians would encourage one another to "get down" by telling one another, "Now, put some stank on it!". At least as early as 1907, jazz songs carried titles such as "Funky Butt", . . .from wiki "funk"
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Dean: Don't forget Google's Ngram viewer, which allows you to view the rates of usage over time of terms. Here's funky: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=funky&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cfunky%3B%2Cc0 Caveat: Google's corpus is skewed toward academic materials.
	2:57pm βrian: Have something against spandex, Kevin?
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, UM, from my ears to yours.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the information!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all so much.
	2:59pm pacific standard simon: Fine. I'm taking my horrible puns somewhere they'll be appreciated. Excellent show as always. Glad I could stay for the whole thing this week.
	2:59pm βrian: Thanks, Dean. It looks like funky became much more popular once it lost its odor.
	2:59pm KevinfromBayRidge: Anudder great one, UM.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: extraordinary show amid a fireball of a gtdr week. well done, UM and all on the stream!!
	3:01pm βrian: Don't rest on your puns, now.
	3:02pm Pedro G.: Albatross is also the closing track for the great weekly public radio show Blues Before Sunrise with Steve Cushing. A fine coda.
	2:57am listener jeff: Been outta town. listening on archive - did no one say the gif at top is from Matilda? Great movie!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 7, 2014

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.

	12:48pm pacific standard simon: No guilty pleasures. Of course, you may not be playing it for pleasure -- it COULD be sadism.
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: Sounded kinda like that fellow who quit The Bonzo Dog Band to tour as one of the imaginary band that recorded "Winchester Cathedral".
	12:51pm pacific standard simon: Bob Kerr.
	12:52pm Pedro G.: Tuned in last week and now it's an official Friday ritual. The like the mic reverb.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Pedro. More reverb just for you...
	12:55pm TR In MI: This Carson Robison fella is like a mind-reader.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Country and Western...baby.
	12:57pm pacific standard simon: When you gonna play that Clint Eastwood number, Michael?
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: Eeww!
	12:58pm Whooda: Those cowboys sure are preoccupied with their gun out on the lonesome trail.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: One day soon. I promise.
	1:01pm still b/p: Was a psychotically sanguine sashay, there, Jerry.
	1:01pm pacific standard simon: That's the trouble with hippie music: aside from "Hey Joe", there just aren't enough songs about murder.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Ain't it the truth.
	1:04pm paul b: Jerry Irby .. Great Long Pistol That was as charmingly mannered and disturbing a song as I've heard in a long time. Even more so than "you think I'm psycho don't you Santa?"
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: I have to give credit...Bob Dylan played it on his show long before today.
	1:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Enjoying immensely. Uncle M, you're a great complement to the present sunshine here ( NOT BKLYN). NO vitamin D necessary!
	1:10pm pacific standard simon: HELL YES LISTENING TO THIS
	1:10pm ndbob: and I'm back
	1:11pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of credit, Matt 5 has been playing the crap out of that Frankie Ford song lately.
	1:11pm Whooda: Pufnstuf shoutout from Boing Boing yesterday. boingboing.net...
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: that song was like a 70s panel-van painting come to life.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: this track is art-damaged
	1:15pm Stanley: "I don't care no more about nothing you do. Oh no"
	1:15pm listener james from westwood: who among us isn't?
	1:16pm earrie: Oh, but the classical music/sports wordplay across the local airwaves. "Guy La Fleur que tu m'avais jetée" Thanks UM! Bon weekend.
	1:16pm Whooda: That Sidewinder song reminded me groggy background music to one of my confusing dreams which might involve the Mod Squad and octopuses.
	1:16pm Stanley: a triple negative - it works with me.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Leaving so soon, earrie?
	1:20pm earrie: Yeah, sports crossing with classical music in wordplay on the radio. How often does that happen? Have a great one.
	1:21pm ndbob: great song here
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: You too...thanks for stopping by! Take some trail mix.
	1:22pm northguineahills: Ok, I'm off. Thanks for the zany zounds, UM!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: BYE!
	1:24pm pacific standard simon: We'll always have Paris.
	1:26pm listener james from westwood: ah, this theme. so many weekday afternoons watching the reruns while doing homework.
	1:27pm pacific standard simon: subtext
	1:28pm pacific standard simon: Odd -- not to say "queer"...
	1:37pm pacific standard simon: Thought he was saying "Spanish fly".
	1:38pm Pedro G.: Fountains of Wayne. Excellent.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: There's not a wrong note on this album.
	1:42pm Doug Schulkind: I've got the opening ceremonies cranking via the BBC! They are just now taking the oath not to take performance enhancing drugs. I didn't know this was a comedy!
	1:44pm listener james from westwood: WHY ARE YOU HITTING AN 18 STAND YOU FOOL STAAAAND
	1:44pm Gary: I wanna see t.A.T.u tonight
	1:45pm pacific standard simon: "I pledge to take drugs seriously!"
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: no laughing matter
	1:47pm pacific standard simon: whiplash
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: hang on tight
	1:49pm pacific standard simon: Rhinoceros' drummer Billy Mundi -- an early defector from the Mothers of Invention.
	1:57pm ndbob: nice version here
	1:59pm βrian: Do I hear "goose farts on a foggy day?"
	1:59pm ndbob: was thinking that Brian:)
	1:59pm Gary: Must be off, but thanks for the thrills!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: See ya Gary...thanks for hanging out.
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Leo Kottke singing reminds me of Garrison Keillor.
	2:02pm Whooda: For us stream listeners, interesting to learn that Verizon is already capping bandwidth to extort more money for normal bandwidth access. libertycrier.com...
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Sadly, I can hear that.
	2:03pm βrian: Ladysmith Black Mambazo should do a cover of this, too.
	2:04pm Whooda: @brian. That thought made me smile
	2:06pm Jeff Golick: Ok if I take Gary's seat?
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: I'm sure it's still warm.
	2:09pm pacific standard simon: Interesting to see where you're taking this, UM.
	2:10pm Whooda: Until just now, I think I never fully accepted that this Cream song was actually a Buddy Holly cover.
	2:10pm ndbob: and it's my favorite Buddy song
	2:12pm Whooda: I mean Blind Faith, of course, Windwood is the pivotal influence here.
	2:16pm βrian: "Fraw(n)-swaz" Hardy, Mon Oncle Michael ! (Gotta make Gomez kiss that arm.)
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: I take pride in my perfect Ugly-American pronunciations.
	2:25pm βrian: And I'm a closet frog-o-phile. I blame it on a femme fatale.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: Psyche!
	2:32pm Whooda: I looked up the definition of "wacky music" and it had a picture of this song in it.
	2:37pm pacific standard simon: More jarring? Does that mean Canned Heat?
	2:39pm pacific standard simon: Have a Ball!
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Simon, your powers of prediction remain consistent.
	2:40pm pacific standard simon: What a pickle.
	2:43pm βrian: The first noted printed use of 'funky,' in reference to music is 1954 in the OED. The meaning, smelly/musty, dates back to 1784.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Ok, so was the 1952 Funky Blues not named contemporaneously?
	2:45pm pacific standard simon: Well, if it was just an informal jam session...
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: I know...but I don't know when it was first named or released.
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: This thought goes through my head a lot during Hinky Dinky Time: "I know that voice...from...somewhere...."
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Terry Reid turned down "The New Yardbirds" and recommended Robert Plant. One of many poor career moves.
	2:50pm pacific standard simon: Maybe Reid was concerned about having all his songs "written" by someone else.
	2:51pm Whooda: UM It was named "Funky Blues" not "contemporaneously". Contemporaneously would have been a terrible name for a song. tehehe
	2:52pm pacific standard simon: NUGE!!!
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: The Nuge, indeed.
	2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: Saw TR at BBKings about 6 years ago. Good show but too many Biker like folk
	2:53pm βrian: It's probably safe to assume the usage existed for quite some time before it popped up in the printed media used by the lexicographers.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to think Charlie Parker invented funk, if at all possible.
	2:54pm pacific standard simon: Redd Fox was BORN funky.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Interesting, Kevin.
	2:56pm Whooda: In early jam sessions, musicians would encourage one another to "get down" by telling one another, "Now, put some stank on it!". At least as early as 1907, jazz songs carried titles such as "Funky Butt", . . .from wiki "funk"
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Dean: Don't forget Google's Ngram viewer, which allows you to view the rates of usage over time of terms. Here's funky: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=funky&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cfunky%3B%2Cc0 Caveat: Google's corpus is skewed toward academic materials.
	2:57pm βrian: Have something against spandex, Kevin?
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, UM, from my ears to yours.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the information!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all so much.
	2:59pm pacific standard simon: Fine. I'm taking my horrible puns somewhere they'll be appreciated. Excellent show as always. Glad I could stay for the whole thing this week.
	2:59pm βrian: Thanks, Dean. It looks like funky became much more popular once it lost its odor.
	2:59pm KevinfromBayRidge: Anudder great one, UM.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: extraordinary show amid a fireball of a gtdr week. well done, UM and all on the stream!!
	3:01pm βrian: Don't rest on your puns, now.
	3:02pm Pedro G.: Albatross is also the closing track for the great weekly public radio show Blues Before Sunrise with Steve Cushing. A fine coda.
	2:57am listener jeff: Been outta town. listening on archive - did no one say the gif at top is from Matilda? Great movie!
