WFMU: Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 16, 2014

Listener comments!
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: You can never get those two minutes back, Uncle Michael.
	12:03pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: Howdy howdy howdy, UM and all!!
	12:04pm Pedro G.: Topeka, home of Alf Landon.
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: A Hinky Dinky from the vaults!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I don't see much of Alf these days.
	🛒 12:07pm Brian in UK: Uncle, just unwrapped a pristine copy of Colfax by The Delines which I am itching to play and now you are on the air. What can a poor boy do?
	12:08pm Webhamster Henry: This is what used to be called a "Party Record"
	12:09pm TR In MI: That ominous sphere in the image is reminding me of Phantasm. Also, The Prisoner.
	12:10pm northguineahills: Haven't heard the Free Design version in ages. I have many non-Chidren's Television Network versions of Sesame Street for some reason.
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: Hm. This does not top the original. But good to hear.
	12:11pm efd: Hello Topeka! (I feel like I was just talking about this song someplace!)
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes different is just...different.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Hello efd!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: This set opened with the first 78rpm record ever played on the show.
	12:13pm davex: Back in time for hinkiness and dinkiness.
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: New York sez, "hi." Also, "get out of the goddamn way."
	12:16pm davex: And back in time for a New York groove...
	12:17pm Pedro G.: Are you sure you're not in Topeka, Indiana?
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to welcome you one and all...and perhaps I will!
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Pedro, there's not much difference, truth to tell.
	12:21pm βrian: The felafel slackers aren't open yet. Had to settle for Futo-Maki. Life is hard.
	12:21pm Pedro G.: Well, you're timing is good Uncle Mike. Tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, which grew from Topeka's Monroe Elementary School refusing to allow Linda Brown to attend. Praise Allah that it wasn't THIS U.S. Supreme Court that heard the case. www.nps.gov...
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: I drive past the school Linda was allowed to attend, every day on my way to work.
	12:23pm listener james from westwood: This Billie track is glorious.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Bit of trivia: It's only "Brown" because that family's surname came first alphabetically among the list of plaintiffs.
	12:24pm βrian: @Pedro. No kidding. Separate But Equal would be characterized a free speech issue.
	12:26pm βrian: The Zarnowski family didn't stand a chance.
	12:26pm ndbob: I kind of doubt that - even with this Court - maybe a 7-2 decision , but I'd still bet on 9-0
	12:27pm mauri: my papa was a rollin' megalith
	12:29pm Alex in Illinois: Wasn't Wheel of Fortune by Kay Star a 78?
	12:29pm listener james from westwood: Re: Great War nostalgia: The shadow of WWI that hangs over some characters in "Boardwalk Empire" has been the most interesting thing to me in what I've seen of that series so far. That and the clothes. The rest I rate as a good, not great.
	12:32pm ndbob: @UM What's really interesting is to trace the history of ending school segregation - how it started slowly - with the desegregation of graduate programs and worked its way up to public primary and secondary education.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: It's kind of funny that Linda Brown alone got famous. She wasn't the plaintiff, her parents were. She used to charge money to be photographs for stories about Brown v. BOE.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Also Thurgood Marshall gets too much credit. Two brothers, African-American attorneys from Topeka, the Scotts, got the case to the SCOTUS. I knew one of the Mrs. Scotts late in her life and she was a dear.
	12:40pm ndbob: right UM - and wow
	12:40pm Dean: Who is this?
	12:41pm ndbob: esquires\
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: The Esquires.
	12:42pm Steelguitarlane: Wasn't Freddy involved, too?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Freddy?
	12:42pm Dean: Sorry, dumb joke re: High Numbers.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Hi Lane!
	12:43pm Steelguitarlane: Howdy. Greetings from too far east in PA (road was closed for someone else's wreck)
	12:43pm listener james from westwood: Ay yiss, I thought this was Curtis.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I don't know that Fred was involved with that case but it's possible.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: For those that don't know...Fred Phelps was a civil rights layer...and a good one, reputedly.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: layer = lawyer
	🛒 12:47pm Brian in UK: Dave wears slacks.
	12:47pm Steelguitarlane: Somebody's no Blossom.
	12:48pm Webhamster Henry: I like Blosson Dearies' version - she was the epitome of hip.Funny how "Playboy magazine" became "People magazine"
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Somebody wrote it.
	12:53pm Dean: Too bad. Those High Numbers showed some promise. Maybe they died before they got old?
	12:56pm davex: Dutch always makes me listen three times before I realize that, no, I don't really understand much of it.
	12:57pm still b/p: This L.S.D. could be very nice mashed up with that great industrial/corporate musical number "My bathroom, my bathroom..."
	12:58pm Jeff Golick: I just had the strangest dream.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: @still b/p: brilliant!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: What was your dream, Jeff?
	1:00pm Steelguitarlane: Tommy Collins wrote better than he sang, too
	1:00pm Doug Schulkind: At least the baby wasn't driving! www.post-gazette.com...
	1:01pm Stevel: Got my swag about two weeks ago, took a trip to and from Chicago yesterday. Got to listen to my efd, Dave the Spazz, Bill Kelly and Michael Shelly premium CDs. Ho-lee crap! I'm set for a while (plus, I got a clutch of t-shirts that will serve me well. Still shopping for what to put into the flask (pretty sure I know what to put in the papers.)
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: I'm looking forward to my swag!
	1:03pm ndbob: @still b/p Indeed - the best industrial musical of all
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: Temazepam anyone.
	1:08pm Mike East: no swag yet here, but I did get a Joe McG post card yesterday which made my day.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: That's gonna be worth some bucks.
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Liking the cumbia!
	1:12pm Jeff Golick: Something about die hippie vogels.
	1:13pm Pedro G.: It's good that some Topekeans preserved the Brown sites and mark the history.
	1:14pm βrian: Paris, Texas, you say?
	1:17pm βrian: So you're talking about serving up tapas? Nah, I think you have a good sense of portion size as it is.
	1:17pm Steelguitarlane: We got our Many Faces CD. But we've been busy getting ready for next Saturday
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Pedro, the National Parks Service helps with that, too.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I forgive you, Lane.
	1:21pm Steelguitarlane: Gene when he was in his Jimmie "Original Wigga" Rodgers phase
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Maybe I should play Gene working blue some time.
	1:27pm Jeff Golick: just the right amount of cowbell
	1:27pm Jeff Golick: what a great version
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: exactly right
	1:38pm Steelguitarlane: Third Eye Blind is to Michael as Tom T. Hall is to Lane
	1:41pm Steelguitarlane: I have a 1971 recording of a Japanese bluegrass band doing Massachusetts
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Is it good? And which Japanese bluegrass band?
	1:44pm efd: Wow... eurodisco with bagpipes!
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: So...Boney M had imitators. Huh.
	1:44pm efd: On further review it's feeling more like europop than eurodisco, but still!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Schlagerrific!
	1:45pm efd: Also reminiscent of the George Baker Selection.
	1:45pm Steelguitarlane: Bluegrass 45. They were VERY good. Also covered Neil Diamond, Sweet Carorine, and it was THEIR version of the Monkees' What Am I Doin Hangin' 'Round that the Scene learned.
	1:46pm Lewis: ok true confessions time: what does b/w mean? I have figured out things like ost, but b/w leaves me stumped… thanks
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: "backed with" for singles
	1:47pm Steelguitarlane: Backed with. Means what was on the other side
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: if it is the b-side, then...well...you see how I list those.
	1:50pm Lewis: ah of course! I had worked out the flip-side implication, but kept trying to make it work with b-side or flip…. much more useful Thanks!
	1:53pm Doug Schulkind: OPR! OPR!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Doug bait!
	1:56pm Doug Schulkind: I'm easy.
	1:56pm Len: Did somebody say QPR?
	1:57pm listener james from westwood: Folks of a certain age: Jeb Magruder has suffered an 18½-minute gap in oxygen uptake: www.usatoday.com...
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: Doug didn't show us his "Q" face.
	1:58pm Jeff Golick: That was classic, listener james.
	1:58pm Doug Schulkind: @LJFW Weren't we discussing Rosemary Woods' baby earlier?
	🛒 1:58pm Brian in UK: Nice one Len. This might keep Harry at Loftus Road.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: Plus there was a John Mitchell callout in that Big Star cut earlier.
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff: Thanks! My alternative announcement was "Jeb Magruder has become inoperative," but that'd be more suitable for Ron Ziegler.
	2:02pm ndbob: Indeed James... I went to the Ervin committee hearings one day.. saw Robert Mardian testify
	2:05pm Len: That 18 and a half minute gap-could they have been discussing QPR's controversial astro turf surface that year or have I mixed up my mind again?
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: Whoa. I was in my single-digits at the time, but I do remember seeing the news reports on TV, and, while at Friar Tuck Inn in the Catskills, watching Tricky's resignation speech on the lobby TV.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: My old man was on the enemies list. Yes, that's braggin'.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: It pissed my grandfather off. He was envious.
	2:07pm Pedro G.: In a better America, the National Park Service will have a bigger budget than the Commerce Department.
	2:07pm Dean: Michael ... Lennon?
	2:08pm Doug Schulkind: The name "Schulkind" is on Schindler's list.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: I can neither confirm nor deny...Senator.
	2:12pm Steelguitarlane: MOON!!!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I was waiting for identification from you, Lane.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: So that was Ralph?
	2:14pm Steelguitarlane: Browser hung up on me. I started trying on the 2nd bar
	2:15pm Lewis: Les Surfs - very cool…
	🛒 2:17pm Brian in UK: @Len or that 1975/76 season, if they had won at Sheffield United when it was a bog. The Championship?
	2:17pm ndbob: I think Les Surfs were originally from Madagascar
	2:17pm Steelguitarlane: Indeed it was. From his work with Buck on to his Waylon years, he had a style as if he played a pedal steel like a Tele. He didn't THINK like a steelie
	2:17pm northguineahills: Have a great weekend UM! I forgot to change o'er to Bryce at HT. Cheers!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Bob. Siblings.
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: "Oh, good, it's Lee Marvin! He's always drunk and violent!" —Homer Simpson while watching Paint Your Wagon.
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: See ya, NGH! Thanks. Happy to hypnotize you.
	2:18pm Lewis: Lew Marvin! OST! my productivity is plummeting
	2:19pm Artie: I Saw Mommy Kissin' A Cowboy
	2:19pm Doug Schulkind: Clint Eastwood talks to the trees, as well.
	2:19pm efd: A little late with this, but some of you might appreciate the opening set from my Jan 25. 2005 fill-in show: wfmu.org...
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: everybody SING!
	2:19pm efd: I'm not saying you should listen to it, just look at it.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: I appreciate all of your sets, Evan.
	2:20pm Doug Schulkind: What, no "Theme from Eraserhead," efd?!
	2:21pm ndbob: ty efd!
	2:22pm Mike East: I was watching bits of a Lee Marvin movie last weekend. He ate some bad food and had to run to the outhouse.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: In heaven, everything is fine.
	2:22pm still b/p: "When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree..." John Muir Sings!
	2:22pm efd: Doug, maybe I'll play that next year on the 10th anniversary of her passing.
	2:25pm Jeff Golick: @efd:...and that first set would appear to be 18.5 min or so? Amazing.
	2:28pm Doug Schulkind: This is SO Cubs: deadspin.com...
	2:29pm Jeff Golick: @Doug: OMG
	2:29pm Len: OK, I didn't intend to turn this into a QPR messageboard but I gotta get this off my chest-the ticket arrangements for Wem-ber-ley next Saturday seem to me willfully....something rude.
	2:30pm Dean: Raspberries soon?
	2:30pm Jeff Golick: Please help: my food intake for the day has been -- donut, croissant, rugelach. Crashing hard. Oh, and a banana.
	2:31pm Dean: Kursaal Flyers will do!
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: That's perfect. (facepalm)
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I'm trying to get my head around Doug hanging out on Deadspin.
	2:34pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff: Crumb cake stat! Get thee to an Entenmann's display!
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Big pitcher of Kool-Ade!
	2:35pm Dean: Bang!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Bang.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Cue shitty sax solo!
	2:38pm Dean: Totally shitty, but the band just marches right over the Kenny G wannabe.
	2:40pm Dean: Keith Moon is smiling.
	2:41pm Mike East: effing love this minutemen riff
	2:41pm Doug Schulkind: Where else am I going to get my schlong pics of Brett Favre, Uncle Michael
	2:42pm Len: More of a groove than a riff or have I mixed my mind up again?
	🛒 2:45pm Brian in UK: There should be enough tickets to go round. Good luck. Off to the kitchen. Nice one Uncle.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I'll email you after the show, Doug...hook you up.
	2:46pm listener james from westwood: Can't tell you how much I adore this Emeralds cut. Chills every time I hear it.
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: See ya Brian!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Get your tissues.
	2:53pm Dean: Got my epithelium right here.

	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone...see you next week!
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Wooo - danke!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 16, 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.

Listener comments!
	12:02pm Doug Schulkind: You can never get those two minutes back, Uncle Michael.
	12:03pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:03pm listener james from westwood: Howdy howdy howdy, UM and all!!
	12:04pm Pedro G.: Topeka, home of Alf Landon.
	12:06pm listener james from westwood: A Hinky Dinky from the vaults!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I don't see much of Alf these days.
	🛒 12:07pm Brian in UK: Uncle, just unwrapped a pristine copy of Colfax by The Delines which I am itching to play and now you are on the air. What can a poor boy do?
	12:08pm Webhamster Henry: This is what used to be called a "Party Record"
	12:09pm TR In MI: That ominous sphere in the image is reminding me of Phantasm. Also, The Prisoner.
	12:10pm northguineahills: Haven't heard the Free Design version in ages. I have many non-Chidren's Television Network versions of Sesame Street for some reason.
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: Hm. This does not top the original. But good to hear.
	12:11pm efd: Hello Topeka! (I feel like I was just talking about this song someplace!)
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes different is just...different.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Hello efd!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: This set opened with the first 78rpm record ever played on the show.
	12:13pm davex: Back in time for hinkiness and dinkiness.
	12:14pm Jeff Golick: New York sez, "hi." Also, "get out of the goddamn way."
	12:16pm davex: And back in time for a New York groove...
	12:17pm Pedro G.: Are you sure you're not in Topeka, Indiana?
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to welcome you one and all...and perhaps I will!
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Pedro, there's not much difference, truth to tell.
	12:21pm βrian: The felafel slackers aren't open yet. Had to settle for Futo-Maki. Life is hard.
	12:21pm Pedro G.: Well, you're timing is good Uncle Mike. Tomorrow is the 60th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, which grew from Topeka's Monroe Elementary School refusing to allow Linda Brown to attend. Praise Allah that it wasn't THIS U.S. Supreme Court that heard the case. www.nps.gov...
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: I drive past the school Linda was allowed to attend, every day on my way to work.
	12:23pm listener james from westwood: This Billie track is glorious.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Bit of trivia: It's only "Brown" because that family's surname came first alphabetically among the list of plaintiffs.
	12:24pm βrian: @Pedro. No kidding. Separate But Equal would be characterized a free speech issue.
	12:26pm βrian: The Zarnowski family didn't stand a chance.
	12:26pm ndbob: I kind of doubt that - even with this Court - maybe a 7-2 decision , but I'd still bet on 9-0
	12:27pm mauri: my papa was a rollin' megalith
	12:29pm Alex in Illinois: Wasn't Wheel of Fortune by Kay Star a 78?
	12:29pm listener james from westwood: Re: Great War nostalgia: The shadow of WWI that hangs over some characters in "Boardwalk Empire" has been the most interesting thing to me in what I've seen of that series so far. That and the clothes. The rest I rate as a good, not great.
	12:32pm ndbob: @UM What's really interesting is to trace the history of ending school segregation - how it started slowly - with the desegregation of graduate programs and worked its way up to public primary and secondary education.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: It's kind of funny that Linda Brown alone got famous. She wasn't the plaintiff, her parents were. She used to charge money to be photographs for stories about Brown v. BOE.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Also Thurgood Marshall gets too much credit. Two brothers, African-American attorneys from Topeka, the Scotts, got the case to the SCOTUS. I knew one of the Mrs. Scotts late in her life and she was a dear.
	12:40pm ndbob: right UM - and wow
	12:40pm Dean: Who is this?
	12:41pm ndbob: esquires\
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: The Esquires.
	12:42pm Steelguitarlane: Wasn't Freddy involved, too?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Freddy?
	12:42pm Dean: Sorry, dumb joke re: High Numbers.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Hi Lane!
	12:43pm Steelguitarlane: Howdy. Greetings from too far east in PA (road was closed for someone else's wreck)
	12:43pm listener james from westwood: Ay yiss, I thought this was Curtis.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I don't know that Fred was involved with that case but it's possible.
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: For those that don't know...Fred Phelps was a civil rights layer...and a good one, reputedly.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: layer = lawyer
	🛒 12:47pm Brian in UK: Dave wears slacks.
	12:47pm Steelguitarlane: Somebody's no Blossom.
	12:48pm Webhamster Henry: I like Blosson Dearies' version - she was the epitome of hip.Funny how "Playboy magazine" became "People magazine"
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Somebody wrote it.
	12:53pm Dean: Too bad. Those High Numbers showed some promise. Maybe they died before they got old?
	12:56pm davex: Dutch always makes me listen three times before I realize that, no, I don't really understand much of it.
	12:57pm still b/p: This L.S.D. could be very nice mashed up with that great industrial/corporate musical number "My bathroom, my bathroom..."
	12:58pm Jeff Golick: I just had the strangest dream.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: @still b/p: brilliant!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: What was your dream, Jeff?
	1:00pm Steelguitarlane: Tommy Collins wrote better than he sang, too
	1:00pm Doug Schulkind: At least the baby wasn't driving! www.post-gazette.com...
	1:01pm Stevel: Got my swag about two weeks ago, took a trip to and from Chicago yesterday. Got to listen to my efd, Dave the Spazz, Bill Kelly and Michael Shelly premium CDs. Ho-lee crap! I'm set for a while (plus, I got a clutch of t-shirts that will serve me well. Still shopping for what to put into the flask (pretty sure I know what to put in the papers.)
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: I'm looking forward to my swag!
	1:03pm ndbob: @still b/p Indeed - the best industrial musical of all
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: Temazepam anyone.
	1:08pm Mike East: no swag yet here, but I did get a Joe McG post card yesterday which made my day.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: That's gonna be worth some bucks.
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Liking the cumbia!
	1:12pm Jeff Golick: Something about die hippie vogels.
	1:13pm Pedro G.: It's good that some Topekeans preserved the Brown sites and mark the history.
	1:14pm βrian: Paris, Texas, you say?
	1:17pm βrian: So you're talking about serving up tapas? Nah, I think you have a good sense of portion size as it is.
	1:17pm Steelguitarlane: We got our Many Faces CD. But we've been busy getting ready for next Saturday
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Pedro, the National Parks Service helps with that, too.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I forgive you, Lane.
	1:21pm Steelguitarlane: Gene when he was in his Jimmie "Original Wigga" Rodgers phase
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Maybe I should play Gene working blue some time.
	1:27pm Jeff Golick: just the right amount of cowbell
	1:27pm Jeff Golick: what a great version
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: exactly right
	1:38pm Steelguitarlane: Third Eye Blind is to Michael as Tom T. Hall is to Lane
	1:41pm Steelguitarlane: I have a 1971 recording of a Japanese bluegrass band doing Massachusetts
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Is it good? And which Japanese bluegrass band?
	1:44pm efd: Wow... eurodisco with bagpipes!
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: So...Boney M had imitators. Huh.
	1:44pm efd: On further review it's feeling more like europop than eurodisco, but still!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Schlagerrific!
	1:45pm efd: Also reminiscent of the George Baker Selection.
	1:45pm Steelguitarlane: Bluegrass 45. They were VERY good. Also covered Neil Diamond, Sweet Carorine, and it was THEIR version of the Monkees' What Am I Doin Hangin' 'Round that the Scene learned.
	1:46pm Lewis: ok true confessions time: what does b/w mean? I have figured out things like ost, but b/w leaves me stumped… thanks
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: "backed with" for singles
	1:47pm Steelguitarlane: Backed with. Means what was on the other side
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: if it is the b-side, then...well...you see how I list those.
	1:50pm Lewis: ah of course! I had worked out the flip-side implication, but kept trying to make it work with b-side or flip…. much more useful Thanks!
	1:53pm Doug Schulkind: OPR! OPR!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Doug bait!
	1:56pm Doug Schulkind: I'm easy.
	1:56pm Len: Did somebody say QPR?
	1:57pm listener james from westwood: Folks of a certain age: Jeb Magruder has suffered an 18½-minute gap in oxygen uptake: www.usatoday.com...
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: Doug didn't show us his "Q" face.
	1:58pm Jeff Golick: That was classic, listener james.
	1:58pm Doug Schulkind: @LJFW Weren't we discussing Rosemary Woods' baby earlier?
	🛒 1:58pm Brian in UK: Nice one Len. This might keep Harry at Loftus Road.
	2:00pm listener james from westwood: Plus there was a John Mitchell callout in that Big Star cut earlier.
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff: Thanks! My alternative announcement was "Jeb Magruder has become inoperative," but that'd be more suitable for Ron Ziegler.
	2:02pm ndbob: Indeed James... I went to the Ervin committee hearings one day.. saw Robert Mardian testify
	2:05pm Len: That 18 and a half minute gap-could they have been discussing QPR's controversial astro turf surface that year or have I mixed up my mind again?
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: Whoa. I was in my single-digits at the time, but I do remember seeing the news reports on TV, and, while at Friar Tuck Inn in the Catskills, watching Tricky's resignation speech on the lobby TV.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: My old man was on the enemies list. Yes, that's braggin'.
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: It pissed my grandfather off. He was envious.
	2:07pm Pedro G.: In a better America, the National Park Service will have a bigger budget than the Commerce Department.
	2:07pm Dean: Michael ... Lennon?
	2:08pm Doug Schulkind: The name "Schulkind" is on Schindler's list.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: I can neither confirm nor deny...Senator.
	2:12pm Steelguitarlane: MOON!!!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I was waiting for identification from you, Lane.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: So that was Ralph?
	2:14pm Steelguitarlane: Browser hung up on me. I started trying on the 2nd bar
	2:15pm Lewis: Les Surfs - very cool…
	🛒 2:17pm Brian in UK: @Len or that 1975/76 season, if they had won at Sheffield United when it was a bog. The Championship?
	2:17pm ndbob: I think Les Surfs were originally from Madagascar
	2:17pm Steelguitarlane: Indeed it was. From his work with Buck on to his Waylon years, he had a style as if he played a pedal steel like a Tele. He didn't THINK like a steelie
	2:17pm northguineahills: Have a great weekend UM! I forgot to change o'er to Bryce at HT. Cheers!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Yes, Bob. Siblings.
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: "Oh, good, it's Lee Marvin! He's always drunk and violent!" —Homer Simpson while watching Paint Your Wagon.

	2:19pm Uncle Michael: everybody SING!
	2:19pm efd: I'm not saying you should listen to it, just look at it.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: I appreciate all of your sets, Evan.
	2:20pm Doug Schulkind: What, no "Theme from Eraserhead," efd?!
	2:21pm ndbob: ty efd!
	2:22pm Mike East: I was watching bits of a Lee Marvin movie last weekend. He ate some bad food and had to run to the outhouse.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: In heaven, everything is fine.
	2:22pm still b/p: "When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree..." John Muir Sings!
	2:22pm efd: Doug, maybe I'll play that next year on the 10th anniversary of her passing.
	2:25pm Jeff Golick: @efd:...and that first set would appear to be 18.5 min or so? Amazing.
	2:28pm Doug Schulkind: This is SO Cubs: deadspin.com...
	2:29pm Jeff Golick: @Doug: OMG
	2:29pm Len: OK, I didn't intend to turn this into a QPR messageboard but I gotta get this off my chest-the ticket arrangements for Wem-ber-ley next Saturday seem to me willfully....something rude.
	2:30pm Dean: Raspberries soon?
	2:30pm Jeff Golick: Please help: my food intake for the day has been -- donut, croissant, rugelach. Crashing hard. Oh, and a banana.
	2:31pm Dean: Kursaal Flyers will do!
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: That's perfect. (facepalm)
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I'm trying to get my head around Doug hanging out on Deadspin.
	2:34pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff: Crumb cake stat! Get thee to an Entenmann's display!
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Big pitcher of Kool-Ade!
	2:35pm Dean: Bang!
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: Bang.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Cue shitty sax solo!
	2:38pm Dean: Totally shitty, but the band just marches right over the Kenny G wannabe.
	2:40pm Dean: Keith Moon is smiling.
	2:41pm Mike East: effing love this minutemen riff
	2:41pm Doug Schulkind: Where else am I going to get my schlong pics of Brett Favre, Uncle Michael
	2:42pm Len: More of a groove than a riff or have I mixed my mind up again?
	🛒 2:45pm Brian in UK: There should be enough tickets to go round. Good luck. Off to the kitchen. Nice one Uncle.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I'll email you after the show, Doug...hook you up.
	2:46pm listener james from westwood: Can't tell you how much I adore this Emeralds cut. Chills every time I hear it.
