	9:11am glenn: is there anything the everley bros. couldn't do?
	9:11am listener james from westwood: That Schlagers album cover ... wondering if that's a compilation of German Schlager music....
	9:12am glenn: oops. everly..
	9:12am listener james from westwood: Dubya's more of a one-fingered discount.

	9:24am V Priceless: haha
	9:28am Uncle Michael: How could this playlist ever be wrong.
	9:31am Lewis: @glenn - I hate it when that happens. leads to some very weird dissonance in one's mind...
	9:32am glenn: oh, i did it myself when i was a callow youth, fresh to the wfmu universe.
	9:34am MrC: Is Doug off today?
	9:35am V Priceless: xtc did a respectable cover of this back in the day

	9:40am Doug Schulkind: Greetings MrC! I am off today. I'll be on the road in a few minutes. Uncle Michael is at the wheel until (gulp) 3pm (though only noon, your time, which doesn't sound so bad).
	9:40am Uncle Michael: morning to all the recent arrivals
	9:40am glenn: and says "make me one with everything".
	9:42am Uncle Michael: good one, glenn...you write that?
	9:42am glenn: oh, hell no.
	9:43am Webhamster Henry: WPLJ was named after this - but not Zappa's version!
	9:44am ndbob: not a real good cover version here - wonder why they picked this for the sampler
	9:45am Uncle Michael: I'll comment on that, Bob.
	9:45am ndbob: :)
	9:45am northguineahills: boca perdido!
	9:45am Dominick: Always like this one
	9:48am ndbob: I remember buying some of these LPs when they came out and picking up many others used/cut out
	9:48am βrian: Ok, now I get it. I thought I was in a time warp. Blue skies over the isthmus, by the way.
	9:52am bobdc: Great, great idea for a show. I actually had The Big Ball and may have to dig it out just to hear Flying again.
	9:53am V Priceless: Hey Uncle M what's the big idea of doing the back announce while I'm on the phone pretending to work? ; )
	9:55am Webhamster Henry: "ShlAHgers" << German for "Hits"
	9:55am Uncle Michael: My bad, V. I'm glad you folks are digging this.
	9:55am Uncle Michael: We're Muricans, Henry.
	9:57am northguineahills: Haven't heard that Harper's Bizarre before.
	10:00am V Priceless: Great Kinks track! Great Lost Kinks!
	10:00am listener james from westwood: Wow, random Maria Ouspenskaya reference there!
	10:00am Raissa: this show is GRrreaat!
	10:01am ndbob: I know this for sure
	10:01am Webhamster Henry: I have a bunch of ads from ad company demo tape reels from this era that would go well with this "youth market" material. Like this: www.echonyc.com... Check out similar material from Bob Purse on the WFMU blog!
	10:02am glenn: greatest rock and roll band ever.
	10:02am V Priceless: Association!!! Woo!!

	10:07am Lewis: what ever happened to Mason Williams?
	10:08am Uncle Michael: Ask Wikipedia! Report back.
	10:08am pacific standard simon: I see you already played my psychic request!

	10:09am glenn: he was a writer for the smothers brothers.
	10:10am Uncle Michael: indeed
	10:12am pacific standard simon: Don't you know?
	10:13am Uncle Michael: I forgot.
	10:15am Lewis: seems MW continued a career as perfumer etc … but in more limited exposure...
	10:17am V Priceless: @ Uncle Michael - it's "Dubuque Blues", actually - does the record misprint it?
	10:19am Uncle Michael: Fixed. Thanks....word wrap on the liner notes got me.
	10:20am V Priceless: ahh..I thought maybe you had a rare misprint copy or something!
	10:22am pacific standard simon: It was "Wide, Wide River".
	10:23am northguineahills: There's a Tropical Storm Matmo in the W Pacific, if there was a plurality, we could have Tropical Storm Matmos.
	10:24am Uncle Michael: I'm in a river of shit now, Simon.
	10:26am Uncle Michael: This makes me wish I was Catholic.
	10:27am V Priceless: (I anticipate Alice Cooper's arrival momentarily)
	10:27am pacific standard simon: Zapped was the first record I bought with my own money ($1) from an ad in National Lampoon.
	10:27am listener james from westwood: Go Irish Catholic, UM. Better whiskey.
	10:28am northguineahills: You wish you have a problem w/ cats, UM?
	10:31am pacific standard simon: That's cataleptic.
	10:31am glenn: and better poetry, as well.
	🛒 10:31am Brian in UK: Oh Phillip boy.
	10:31am βrian: I spent a year abroad in Catatonia.
	10:32am Dominick: folderol
	10:32am listener james from westwood: Killer mix thus far!
	10:33am duke: I used to be Catholic, now I'm catatonic
	10:33am Uncle Michael: Thank you, James. A friend of mine interviewed Sloan on KPFA Wednesday night. He's bonkers.
	🛒 10:34am Brian in UK: Stand up Lenny Waronker, even signed The Flaming Lips. No changed then Uncle.
	10:34am glenn: i used to be a were wolf, but i'm all right nooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww.
	10:35am V Priceless: I think he was a guest on FMU recently - or is going to be - I forget who is hosting him - ? Michael Shelley maybe?
	🛒 10:35am Brian in UK: Dire Wolf by the Dead anyone.
	10:35am glenn: sloan the band? they're pretty great.
	10:36am ndbob: That John Simon LP is pretty weird
	10:36am pacific standard simon: "Elves" features prominently on a mix CD I made of songs I remembered from the great days of "underground" FM radio.
	10:37am Webhamster Henry: It IS groovy!
	10:37am βrian: To elves take elfies with their cell phones?
	10:39am Webhamster Henry: There are apparently two versions of Zapped. Is that true of others in this series?
	10:41am Alex In Illinois: Much of what I learned about Roman Catholic culture I learned from listening to George Carlin recordings.
	10:42am βrian: George was his own kind of catechism. He kept many of us alive.
	10:45am Uncle Michael: There are three versions of Zapped...only one was the Loss Leader.
	10:48am pacific standard simon: At last! Thank you!
	10:49am Uncle Michael: Yep.
	10:54am V Priceless: Hey Uncle M - this was written by an "R. Davies", if memory serves, no? No relation to the Kink - I remember this from the Ziggy record.
	10:56am ndbob: ah - the great Ron Nagle!
	10:59am Uncle Michael: Halfnelson would undergo a name change and become....Sparks.
	11:02am Webhamster Henry: If this bed music is still by Van Dyke Parks, I'd like to get a copy of it!
	11:04am listener james from westwood: Thanks for the backstory on Dr. D!
	11:06am ndbob: Ron Nagle and Scott Matthews (the Durocs) wrote a couple of really good songs for Barbara Steisand
	11:07am Uncle Michael: Henry, contact me off-comments.
	11:08am CGHill: Astute selections, if I may say so myself.
	11:08am Uncle Michael: Barry Hansen (Dr. D) was very helpful in preparing this show.
	11:08am P-90: Ha! I was just about to post about Barry/Demento, the liner notes he wrote for the WB Loss Leaders are frequently brilliant, they were another aspect of the Loss Leader's Cool Factor. Also the graphic design and layouts were consistently creative and uber well-executed.
	11:08am Uncle Michael: Chaz?
	11:09am CGHill: C'est moi. I figured the least I could do was check this thing out.
	11:10am Uncle Michael: Thanks, glad to have you here. Folks, that Dustbury site in the links is Chaz' site.
	11:10am Slanzy: I must say this is a great way to spend a Fri!. Thanks!.
	11:11am ndbob: great UM re Hansen
	11:15am northguineahills: I also really dig the bed music.
	11:17am Lane Steelpicker: Who played steel in the Lomax? Sounded like John David Call on drugs
	11:18am northguineahills: I first heard Dr. Demento on Armed Forces Radio in Japan as a wee one, used to listen while going to sleep. I believe Weird Al just finished his 32 year record contract this week.
	11:18am Uncle Michael: You'd know better than I would, Lane.
	11:19am Dean: Just logged in. Dang, missed most of a great show! Any idea which of these tunes was on the Beserkeley label?
	11:20am Uncle Michael: None yet, Dean! More than half to go!
	11:21am pacific standard simon: Time to log in and put on some clothes.
	11:21am Lane Steelpicker: Except the only Lomax I know are Alan and Neil. John David is the Pure Prairie League steelman
	11:21am Mike East: wait, what time is it? I didn't get the memo that we were starting early today
	11:22am duke: My favorite Beach Boys song
	11:22am duke: @PSS this show is clothing optional
	11:22am Uncle Michael: Mike...I did all I could to spread the word.
	11:23am Dominick: There was a stereo mix in 1972? I think not!
	11:23am Uncle Michael: Anyone that want;s the Hinky Dinky Time email blasts should contact me off-comments and I'll add you. Or like the HDT and/or GTDR Facebook pages.
	11:24am Mike East: Yeah, not your fault...I only pay attention half the time, and when I am, I'm only half paying attention.
	11:26am Dean: Figures. Six hours of formative tunes, and I have to spend much of today away from my office.
	11:30am CGHill: I was always amused by the Burbank cover, drawn by the late Ed Thrasher "based on a theme."
	11:30am Uncle Michael: Dominick...Caroline No was from 1972 vinyl. I hate to tell ya.
	11:31am Uncle Michael: Ed was behind most of the visuals with a few notable exceptions.
	11:33am V Priceless: Remember The Coop!
	11:33am Dominick: Very interesting. The Pet Sounds reissue included with Carl & The Passions - So Tough in 1972 was mono and stated so "as Brian mixed it".
	11:35am Uncle Michael: Don't believe anything you read and only half of what you hear.
	11:36am pacific standard simon: Hey Uncle Michael -- was there a Grateful Dead Meetup in Topeka last night?
	11:36am Uncle Michael: If there was, it was off my radar.
	11:36am listener james from westwood: For a short stretch Alice was channeling Animal from the Electric Mayhem! Not to be taken as disapproval.
	11:37am Uncle Michael: I loved it!
	11:39am V Priceless: wow - forgot about the Roxy Music factor here!
	11:39am pacific standard simon: The ad says, "In cinemas nationwide." It also says, "Fathom Events and Rhino Entertainment are excited to present the Grateful Dead Meet Up 2014. A complete live studio performance of the Grateful Dead captured during their legendary European tour in 1972 with audio remastered from the original analog tapes! Never officially released and never before seen in its entirety, the Berlin Beat Club studio performance features the classic 1972 lineup, and captures the Dead in their prime!" I passed, but it sounds interesting.
	11:40am Uncle Michael: Oh, that. I forgot. With this today I'd have had to pass anyway.
	11:42am Uncle Michael: I don't mind saying that I adore this track.
	11:45am V Priceless: A Cale masterpiece!
	11:46am Uncle Michael: yes...a masterpiece
	11:49am pacific standard simon: I wouldn't mind hearing a 24-hour Loss Leaders web stream -- just have to put this show on repeat, I guess.
	11:49am Dean: Re: Dead revivals, this venue is practically in my backyard, and this band plays just about every Wednesday night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA9H2EsuhFU
	11:50am pacific standard simon: They revive the dead?
	11:51am Dean: Depends on who "they" are.
	11:55am Alex In Illinois: @Mike East: Just to clarify: Uncle Michael is doing a 6-hour show today! If I were to attempt that all by myself with no help, then I would get way too ornery during hour 4.
	11:58am Lane Steelpicker: Yarrow does reggae?
	11:58am Uncle Michael: you heard it here first
	11:59am Lane Steelpicker: Peter, Paul and Marley
	12:00pm pacific standard simon: Ha!
	12:01pm Uncle Michael: Toots Hibbert, actually!
	12:03pm Lane Steelpicker: Yes, but that denied the dorky pun
	12:03pm Dean: And Toots Hibbert's son is playing the same venue tonight! http://www.ashkenaz.com/
	12:03pm pacific standard simon: Check the playlist, UM -- yer gettin' tired.
	12:04pm Dean: Yep, an anachronism.
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: hmm?
	12:04pm Dean: 1973...which Buckley?
	12:05pm pacific standard simon: I'm pretty sure Jeff's voice hadn't changed, yet.
	12:06pm ndbob: yep - Tim was on WB in 73 I'm pretty sure
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Good point. He hadn't learned not to swim yet, either.
	12:07pm Dean: Too soon.
	12:08pm Dean: Osibisa backwards is Asibiso, fyi.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: I'll fix that, too.
	12:09pm Mike East: lol, UM.
	12:11pm listener james from westwood: Awesome set-capper!
	12:11pm listener james from westwood: Denver, Boise & Yuma from this moment hence.
	12:13pm ndbob: Hmm. the Pentangle?
	12:15pm listener james from westwood: Holy crap, this song got around! And all those elements moving via analog space on analog media! A lost age....
	12:17pm ndbob: I remember not quite knowing what to think of this LP
	12:21pm V Priceless: Good track by these nuts!
	12:21pm Dean: Missed Terry Melcher. He's (in)famous for ... what?
	12:21pm pacific standard simon: Calling Dr. "Funk"!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: No kidding!
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: For so MUCH, Dean!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Being Doris Day's son...for introducing Charles Manson to Dennis Wilson...for being Bruce Johnston's partner pre-Beach Boys...for being a great producer...
	12:24pm Dominick: All Right !!!!!!!
	12:24pm V Priceless: Rats! From my neck of the woods
	12:25pm Dean: I was intimating the Cielo Drive/Manson connection.
	12:25pm pacific standard simon: Also, the Sharon Tate house was the former Melcher residence -- Manson actually wanted to kill Melcher, but was unaware that Melcher had moved.
	12:26pm V Priceless: Peppi bought the farm lat year - used to see him all the time doing gigs here locally - at 68, the guy could still belt out the tunes - what a voice!
	12:26pm V Priceless: last
	12:28pm pacific standard simon: Believe I recall Van Dyke Parks saying that HE had been at that house earlier in the evening. Talk about dodging a bullet.
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: Digging the hell out of the bass and beat of "Jungle Man."
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: it's time for New Wave Theater
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Ivers' murder is still unsolved
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: artist listing is NOT an error...this time
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: This goes out to Matt Fiveash.
	12:33pm Lane Steelpicker: I hey Freddy Roulette is in the Peter Peter band. He said lays lap steel like that
	12:34pm Lane Steelpicker: Said lays= plays. Weird android
	12:34pm Slanzy: Freddie is a wonder!
	12:37pm pacific standard simon: Judging by that one album cover, he musta been killed by Injuns.
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: I would buy the hell out of a Night Flight box set. The rights to everything have to be the mother of all Gordian knots, tho'.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: No doubt, James.
	12:39pm pacific standard simon: Sammy!
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: He's got a one-way ticket to midnight!
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Rankin, without Bass...but with bass.
	12:46pm pacific standard simon: Any Michael Franks in the pipe?
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: of course
	12:51pm johnk77: was where norman greenbaum worked across from the inn of the beginning?
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: That's deep.
	12:53pm pacific standard simon: That must be addressed to me. Yes, it was.
	12:53pm Dean: Spirit in this guy
	12:54pm pacific standard simon: You have a long memory, johnk77.
	1:00pm pacific standard simon: For anyone who's puzzled by that, The Inn of The Beginning was a music venue and bar in Cotati, CA, & the place where Norman grilled hot dogs was Jerome's Good Dogs, across the street.
	1:01pm holland oats: emmylou's always a keeper
	1:02pm pacific standard simon: I'm sure I've told that story here before.

	1:32pm holland oats: interesting dylan/lou reed combo

	2:09pm pacific standard simon: I'll go with "Pretty Vacant", but why choose?
	2:09pm listener james from westwood: We'll just be leaving it there thru 3 then, shall we?
	2:09pm holland oats: Q/A: if i have a cornerstone album, this is it
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Everything they had to say in one 3 minutes.
	2:15pm pacific standard simon: I want that mash-up of Van Halen guitar parts without the vocals that used to play on KPFA late at night.
	2:15pm karl_mundt: matching towels
	2:15pm northguineahills: man, I was three when this came out.
	2:15pm holland oats: B52s: if i have a cornerstone album, this is also it
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: Now pushing volume into lease-violating territory. It helps that I am INCHES from finishing a 6-week-long copyedit and am thus in a celebratory way.
	2:18pm holland oats: @lj good read?
	2:18pm pacific standard simon: I wonder if Dr. Demento was started down the path of weird records by hearing his name in a Nervous Norvus song.
	2:19pm SeanG: love that guitar sound
	2:19pm pacific standard simon: "Pass the claret to me, Barrett."
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: I think you have the timeline reversed, Simon.
	2:20pm Mike East: I met the B52s chicks in here...they were really nice.
	2:20pm holland oats: i have no problem with lorraine
	2:23pm V Priceless: oh this Tin Huey is great!!
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Ah, I geddit, Simon.
	2:23pm Jack: what a great version of I can't stand the rain, never heard it.
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: @holland oats: Actually, yes. First half was a college-level textbook for how to write research reports. Second half was a series of primary sources—articles, chapters, web posts—reprinted in the book to demonstrate various writing lessons. These were more of a skim than an edit, b/c they were scanned/keyboarded from scratch, mostly, so semi-recreational. What took the most time was adding coding to all files (>100 Word docs) for the compositor—open and close XML tags nearly all thru. Took at least a third of the time.
	2:27pm Mike East: this...is bizarre
	2:27pm Jack: Now, there's a blast from the 80s...seen these 3 many times in Manhattan, just faded out after a bit.
	2:28pm holland oats: <yeesh>yeesh</yeesh>
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: I was obsessed with these ladies when I lived in Lawrence.
	2:29pm Jack: Me too, for quite a while.
	2:29pm Webhamster Henry: We are Lee Marvin.
	2:30pm pacific standard simon: croaked
	2:30pm listener james from westwood: I remember they're the "Roches" because of the Roche limit. I admit I am a geek. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:31pm V Priceless: you have a show for the Ages here, Uncle Michael! Thanks!
	2:32pm holland oats: i'm workin' heeah!
	2:32pm Webhamster Henry: I'm "working".
	2:33pm holland oats: dotes dotes dotes dotes
	2:34pm pacific standard simon: I set up a new inkjet printer and it started a cascade of having-to-move-this-here-so-I-can-move-that-there. All morning, except for the egg and polenta brekky.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: The archive won't stop recording the show till :08 after and I may need all of that.
	2:35pm Lane Steelpicker: I started listening in Woodbridge NJ. I'm driving a truck and you'll have gotten me to Breezewood PA by the end of the show.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Is that good time?
	2:36pm holland oats: i love that trippy harmonica fragment, who's idea was that?!?!
	2:36pm Alex In Illinois: I know I have heard or read at least one interview where an artist credited Allen Toussaint as a mentor in some capacity. Could any of these artists whom you have been mentioning Toussaint about be other Toussaint protégés?
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: mine
	2:37pm pacific standard simon: If you can find a song titled "Sex", you can follow it with this song and the VU's "Rock and Roll" on a later show.
	2:37pm Alex In Illinois: That Talking Heads song is a masterpiece.
	2:37pm Lane Steelpicker: Heather lost three hours to a flat tore last night. Making up time
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Your rig is "Heather?"
	2:39pm karl_mundt: This Ramones song is also a masterpiece
	2:39pm pacific standard simon: Hey, it beats Rhiannon!
	2:40pm Lane Steelpicker: My codriver and "work wife" is Heather. This week she drives nights
	2:42pm Mike East: keep your eyes on the road, Lane!
	2:43pm northguineahills: I thought cod were saltwater fish, there is a stream w/ enough fish of the genus Gadus to call it a cod river, cool!
	2:43pm Lane Steelpicker: I use the speech-to-text
	2:44pm pacific standard simon: Glad you're not typing and steering!
	2:47pm Dean: Bob Marley and the who?
	2:47pm Mike East: should that be Wankers?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: is everyone here a copy editor?
	2:48pm Lane Steelpicker: Cod rivers are like cow orkers
	2:48pm Dean: Commence every sentence with a capital letter, please, UM.
	2:49pm pacific standard simon: Or OCD.
	2:49pm Dominick: As long as it's not cod liver oil
	2:49pm Lewis: how ya holdin' up UM? the light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger!
	2:49pm Dean: Still waiting for Berserkeley...
	2:50pm northguineahills: cow orkers, docile bovine warriors from a Tolkien novel?
	2:50pm pacific standard simon: Give the guy a break -- he used the word "penultimate" correctly.
	2:51pm Dean: Oops.
	2:51pm karl_mundt: hippy jawney!
	2:51pm pacific standard simon: What are you, Jonathan?

	10:10am Joel: Truly inspired programming. Thanks !!
	9:40am David in ATL from NJ: BRAVO, UM!
	12:40pm Droll: I forgot I wrote this -- instead of adding a zillion individual comments over the course of the 3-4 days it took me to listen to the whole show I wrote all my comments in a draft email so I wouldn't lose them if I closed the playlist window. Then I forgot I wrote the email... As the saying goes, sorry so long, I didn't have time to make it shorter. ----------------------------------------------- Two Cowboys on one LP? They had balls. The Neon Philharmonic one was pretty crazy! Huge production. Nice to hear the backstory on Dr. Demento, I still have a box of cassettes I taped in the 80's of Dr. Demento by putting my shoebox recorder in front of a clock-radio. Nice to actually hear his (very young) voice at one point on the LLs. Bologna colored vinyl. [ Pregnant pause ] Bologna colored vinyl... Shouldn't Montrose be on the bologna colored one? I think your playlist background is close to bologna colored... 70's albums could put on the slickest production without getting flashy. The arrangements use horns and strings like it ain't no thang. A dozen people on a track wasn't uncommon back then. And the super-dry sound-sucker LA sound is all over these early 70's records like the Motown or Stax sound defines those collections. 1978 seems to be the inflection point where the refined professional sonic approach was jettisoned and the DIY sound took over. It's almost as if it became uncouth to have blues roots. By 1980 every track has a synthesizer pad on it and punk was already boring and The Buggles had successfully fused the slick 70's production with the synthesizer sound. I was never punk, a little new-wave, but mostly prog. I was a big Duran Duran fan, which is as new-wave as I got. Well, Japan... Were they New Wave or Art Pop? DD are usually written off as a teeny-bopper band, but they wrote all their own songs and played their own instruments and there are some very interesting things happening on those records, and of course, the stuff they did with Nile Rodgers deserved to be the huge hit it was. I was pre-teen for Rock Lobster, and when I got older the B-52's never really grew on me. I was never sure if the band or their fans were being ironic or not. I'd be interested in better understanding how the band's contracts preventing/allowed licensing for non-for-profit distribution of copyrighted music also being sold (by the selfsame company!). The promotional catalog numbers no doubt played a (legal) role in depriving artists of revenue. Zappa really truly believed Loss Leaders work, his business model needed large amounts of exposure because the expected audience was small. He was very sophisticated with the business and he would have stopped if it weren't helping. This was a great show, a nice (albeit oddly skewed) historical perspective. Fun for music geeks, the original audience has long since moved on. I like the idea there are both business and musical reasons to explain the LL series, probably a very complicated interplay. It just occurred to me you don't do station ID's! How am I supposed to tell time? "Reporting on each other's research". You mean plagiarism? I like that you plan what to play based on knowing how much your show can run over. Thanks for the LL show -- have a fun week!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: I'm humbled that you took the time to compose your response, as you did. May astute observations and it's nice to hear other people's perspective on the times and the tunes. Thanks, Droll.

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.

	9:24am V Priceless: haha
	9:28am Uncle Michael: How could this playlist ever be wrong.
	9:31am Lewis: @glenn - I hate it when that happens. leads to some very weird dissonance in one's mind...

	9:42am Uncle Michael: good one, glenn...you write that?

	9:43am Webhamster Henry: WPLJ was named after this - but not Zappa's version!

	9:45am Uncle Michael: I'll comment on that, Bob.
	9:45am ndbob: :)
	9:45am northguineahills: boca perdido!

	9:48am βrian: Ok, now I get it. I thought I was in a time warp. Blue skies over the isthmus, by the way.
	9:52am bobdc: Great, great idea for a show. I actually had The Big Ball and may have to dig it out just to hear Flying again.
	9:53am V Priceless: Hey Uncle M what's the big idea of doing the back announce while I'm on the phone pretending to work? ; )
	9:55am Webhamster Henry: "ShlAHgers" << German for "Hits"
	9:55am Uncle Michael: My bad, V. I'm glad you folks are digging this.
	9:55am Uncle Michael: We're Muricans, Henry.
	9:57am northguineahills: Haven't heard that Harper's Bizarre before.
	10:00am V Priceless: Great Kinks track! Great Lost Kinks!
	10:00am listener james from westwood: Wow, random Maria Ouspenskaya reference there!
	10:00am Raissa: this show is GRrreaat!
	10:01am ndbob: I know this for sure
	10:01am Webhamster Henry: I have a bunch of ads from ad company demo tape reels from this era that would go well with this "youth market" material. Like this: www.echonyc.com... Check out similar material from Bob Purse on the WFMU blog!
	10:02am glenn: greatest rock and roll band ever.
	10:02am V Priceless: Association!!! Woo!!

	10:08am Uncle Michael: Ask Wikipedia! Report back.
	10:08am pacific standard simon: I see you already played my psychic request!

	10:09am glenn: he was a writer for the smothers brothers.
	10:10am Uncle Michael: indeed
	10:12am pacific standard simon: Don't you know?
	10:13am Uncle Michael: I forgot.
	10:15am Lewis: seems MW continued a career as perfumer etc … but in more limited exposure...
	10:17am V Priceless: @ Uncle Michael - it's "Dubuque Blues", actually - does the record misprint it?
	10:19am Uncle Michael: Fixed. Thanks....word wrap on the liner notes got me.
	10:20am V Priceless: ahh..I thought maybe you had a rare misprint copy or something!
	10:22am pacific standard simon: It was "Wide, Wide River".
	10:23am northguineahills: There's a Tropical Storm Matmo in the W Pacific, if there was a plurality, we could have Tropical Storm Matmos.
	10:24am Uncle Michael: I'm in a river of shit now, Simon.
	10:26am Uncle Michael: This makes me wish I was Catholic.
	10:27am V Priceless: (I anticipate Alice Cooper's arrival momentarily)
	10:27am pacific standard simon: Zapped was the first record I bought with my own money ($1) from an ad in National Lampoon.
	10:27am listener james from westwood: Go Irish Catholic, UM. Better whiskey.
	10:28am northguineahills: You wish you have a problem w/ cats, UM?
	10:31am pacific standard simon: That's cataleptic.
	10:31am glenn: and better poetry, as well.
	🛒 10:31am Brian in UK: Oh Phillip boy.
	10:31am βrian: I spent a year abroad in Catatonia.
	10:32am Dominick: folderol
	10:32am listener james from westwood: Killer mix thus far!
	10:33am duke: I used to be Catholic, now I'm catatonic
	10:33am Uncle Michael: Thank you, James. A friend of mine interviewed Sloan on KPFA Wednesday night. He's bonkers.
	🛒 10:34am Brian in UK: Stand up Lenny Waronker, even signed The Flaming Lips. No changed then Uncle.
	10:34am glenn: i used to be a were wolf, but i'm all right nooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww.
	10:35am V Priceless: I think he was a guest on FMU recently - or is going to be - I forget who is hosting him - ? Michael Shelley maybe?
	🛒 10:35am Brian in UK: Dire Wolf by the Dead anyone.
	10:35am glenn: sloan the band? they're pretty great.
	10:36am ndbob: That John Simon LP is pretty weird
	10:36am pacific standard simon: "Elves" features prominently on a mix CD I made of songs I remembered from the great days of "underground" FM radio.
	10:37am Webhamster Henry: It IS groovy!
	10:37am βrian: To elves take elfies with their cell phones?
	10:39am Webhamster Henry: There are apparently two versions of Zapped. Is that true of others in this series?
	10:41am Alex In Illinois: Much of what I learned about Roman Catholic culture I learned from listening to George Carlin recordings.
	10:42am βrian: George was his own kind of catechism. He kept many of us alive.
	10:45am Uncle Michael: There are three versions of Zapped...only one was the Loss Leader.
	10:48am pacific standard simon: At last! Thank you!
	10:49am Uncle Michael: Yep.
	10:54am V Priceless: Hey Uncle M - this was written by an "R. Davies", if memory serves, no? No relation to the Kink - I remember this from the Ziggy record.
	10:56am ndbob: ah - the great Ron Nagle!
	10:59am Uncle Michael: Halfnelson would undergo a name change and become....Sparks.
	11:02am Webhamster Henry: If this bed music is still by Van Dyke Parks, I'd like to get a copy of it!
	11:04am listener james from westwood: Thanks for the backstory on Dr. D!
	11:06am ndbob: Ron Nagle and Scott Matthews (the Durocs) wrote a couple of really good songs for Barbara Steisand
	11:07am Uncle Michael: Henry, contact me off-comments.
	11:08am CGHill: Astute selections, if I may say so myself.
	11:08am Uncle Michael: Barry Hansen (Dr. D) was very helpful in preparing this show.
	11:08am P-90: Ha! I was just about to post about Barry/Demento, the liner notes he wrote for the WB Loss Leaders are frequently brilliant, they were another aspect of the Loss Leader's Cool Factor. Also the graphic design and layouts were consistently creative and uber well-executed.
	11:08am Uncle Michael: Chaz?
	11:09am CGHill: C'est moi. I figured the least I could do was check this thing out.
	11:10am Uncle Michael: Thanks, glad to have you here. Folks, that Dustbury site in the links is Chaz' site.
	11:10am Slanzy: I must say this is a great way to spend a Fri!. Thanks!.
	11:11am ndbob: great UM re Hansen
	11:15am northguineahills: I also really dig the bed music.
	11:17am Lane Steelpicker: Who played steel in the Lomax? Sounded like John David Call on drugs
	11:18am northguineahills: I first heard Dr. Demento on Armed Forces Radio in Japan as a wee one, used to listen while going to sleep. I believe Weird Al just finished his 32 year record contract this week.
	11:18am Uncle Michael: You'd know better than I would, Lane.
	11:19am Dean: Just logged in. Dang, missed most of a great show! Any idea which of these tunes was on the Beserkeley label?
	11:20am Uncle Michael: None yet, Dean! More than half to go!
	11:21am pacific standard simon: Time to log in and put on some clothes.
	11:21am Lane Steelpicker: Except the only Lomax I know are Alan and Neil. John David is the Pure Prairie League steelman
	11:21am Mike East: wait, what time is it? I didn't get the memo that we were starting early today
	11:22am duke: My favorite Beach Boys song
	11:22am duke: @PSS this show is clothing optional
	11:22am Uncle Michael: Mike...I did all I could to spread the word.
	11:23am Dominick: There was a stereo mix in 1972? I think not!
	11:23am Uncle Michael: Anyone that want;s the Hinky Dinky Time email blasts should contact me off-comments and I'll add you. Or like the HDT and/or GTDR Facebook pages.
	11:24am Mike East: Yeah, not your fault...I only pay attention half the time, and when I am, I'm only half paying attention.
	11:26am Dean: Figures. Six hours of formative tunes, and I have to spend much of today away from my office.
	11:30am CGHill: I was always amused by the Burbank cover, drawn by the late Ed Thrasher "based on a theme."
	11:30am Uncle Michael: Dominick...Caroline No was from 1972 vinyl. I hate to tell ya.
	11:31am Uncle Michael: Ed was behind most of the visuals with a few notable exceptions.
	11:33am V Priceless: Remember The Coop!
	11:33am Dominick: Very interesting. The Pet Sounds reissue included with Carl & The Passions - So Tough in 1972 was mono and stated so "as Brian mixed it".
	11:35am Uncle Michael: Don't believe anything you read and only half of what you hear.
	11:36am pacific standard simon: Hey Uncle Michael -- was there a Grateful Dead Meetup in Topeka last night?
	11:36am Uncle Michael: If there was, it was off my radar.
	11:36am listener james from westwood: For a short stretch Alice was channeling Animal from the Electric Mayhem! Not to be taken as disapproval.
	11:37am Uncle Michael: I loved it!
	11:39am V Priceless: wow - forgot about the Roxy Music factor here!
	11:39am pacific standard simon: The ad says, "In cinemas nationwide." It also says, "Fathom Events and Rhino Entertainment are excited to present the Grateful Dead Meet Up 2014. A complete live studio performance of the Grateful Dead captured during their legendary European tour in 1972 with audio remastered from the original analog tapes! Never officially released and never before seen in its entirety, the Berlin Beat Club studio performance features the classic 1972 lineup, and captures the Dead in their prime!" I passed, but it sounds interesting.
	11:40am Uncle Michael: Oh, that. I forgot. With this today I'd have had to pass anyway.
	11:42am Uncle Michael: I don't mind saying that I adore this track.
	11:45am V Priceless: A Cale masterpiece!
	11:46am Uncle Michael: yes...a masterpiece
	11:49am pacific standard simon: I wouldn't mind hearing a 24-hour Loss Leaders web stream -- just have to put this show on repeat, I guess.
	11:49am Dean: Re: Dead revivals, this venue is practically in my backyard, and this band plays just about every Wednesday night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA9H2EsuhFU
	11:50am pacific standard simon: They revive the dead?
	11:51am Dean: Depends on who "they" are.
	11:55am Alex In Illinois: @Mike East: Just to clarify: Uncle Michael is doing a 6-hour show today! If I were to attempt that all by myself with no help, then I would get way too ornery during hour 4.
	11:58am Lane Steelpicker: Yarrow does reggae?
	11:58am Uncle Michael: you heard it here first
	11:59am Lane Steelpicker: Peter, Paul and Marley
	12:00pm pacific standard simon: Ha!
	12:01pm Uncle Michael: Toots Hibbert, actually!
	12:03pm Lane Steelpicker: Yes, but that denied the dorky pun
	12:03pm Dean: And Toots Hibbert's son is playing the same venue tonight! http://www.ashkenaz.com/
	12:03pm pacific standard simon: Check the playlist, UM -- yer gettin' tired.
	12:04pm Dean: Yep, an anachronism.
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: hmm?
	12:04pm Dean: 1973...which Buckley?
	12:05pm pacific standard simon: I'm pretty sure Jeff's voice hadn't changed, yet.
	12:06pm ndbob: yep - Tim was on WB in 73 I'm pretty sure
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Good point. He hadn't learned not to swim yet, either.
	12:07pm Dean: Too soon.
	12:08pm Dean: Osibisa backwards is Asibiso, fyi.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: I'll fix that, too.
	12:09pm Mike East: lol, UM.
	12:11pm listener james from westwood: Awesome set-capper!
	12:11pm listener james from westwood: Denver, Boise & Yuma from this moment hence.
	12:13pm ndbob: Hmm. the Pentangle?
	12:15pm listener james from westwood: Holy crap, this song got around! And all those elements moving via analog space on analog media! A lost age....
	12:17pm ndbob: I remember not quite knowing what to think of this LP
	12:21pm V Priceless: Good track by these nuts!
	12:21pm Dean: Missed Terry Melcher. He's (in)famous for ... what?
	12:21pm pacific standard simon: Calling Dr. "Funk"!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: No kidding!
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: For so MUCH, Dean!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Being Doris Day's son...for introducing Charles Manson to Dennis Wilson...for being Bruce Johnston's partner pre-Beach Boys...for being a great producer...
	12:24pm Dominick: All Right !!!!!!!
	12:24pm V Priceless: Rats! From my neck of the woods
	12:25pm Dean: I was intimating the Cielo Drive/Manson connection.
	12:25pm pacific standard simon: Also, the Sharon Tate house was the former Melcher residence -- Manson actually wanted to kill Melcher, but was unaware that Melcher had moved.
	12:26pm V Priceless: Peppi bought the farm lat year - used to see him all the time doing gigs here locally - at 68, the guy could still belt out the tunes - what a voice!
	12:26pm V Priceless: last
	12:28pm pacific standard simon: Believe I recall Van Dyke Parks saying that HE had been at that house earlier in the evening. Talk about dodging a bullet.
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: Digging the hell out of the bass and beat of "Jungle Man."
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: it's time for New Wave Theater
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Ivers' murder is still unsolved
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: artist listing is NOT an error...this time
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: This goes out to Matt Fiveash.
	12:33pm Lane Steelpicker: I hey Freddy Roulette is in the Peter Peter band. He said lays lap steel like that
	12:34pm Lane Steelpicker: Said lays= plays. Weird android
	12:34pm Slanzy: Freddie is a wonder!
	12:37pm pacific standard simon: Judging by that one album cover, he musta been killed by Injuns.
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: I would buy the hell out of a Night Flight box set. The rights to everything have to be the mother of all Gordian knots, tho'.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: No doubt, James.
	12:39pm pacific standard simon: Sammy!
	12:41pm listener james from westwood: He's got a one-way ticket to midnight!
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Rankin, without Bass...but with bass.
	12:46pm pacific standard simon: Any Michael Franks in the pipe?
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: of course
	12:51pm johnk77: was where norman greenbaum worked across from the inn of the beginning?
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: That's deep.
	12:53pm pacific standard simon: That must be addressed to me. Yes, it was.
	12:53pm Dean: Spirit in this guy
	12:54pm pacific standard simon: You have a long memory, johnk77.
	1:00pm pacific standard simon: For anyone who's puzzled by that, The Inn of The Beginning was a music venue and bar in Cotati, CA, & the place where Norman grilled hot dogs was Jerome's Good Dogs, across the street.
	1:01pm holland oats: emmylou's always a keeper
	1:02pm pacific standard simon: I'm sure I've told that story here before.
	1:03pm johnk77: i worked the norton buffalo gigs across the street bonnie gave me the wrong idea about the biz in 1977 for example front people being cool,funny,political and good to her band and crew top o the hat to psstandard shoutout @mikeeast working for a liven

	1:14pm Dean: I really did hear LF open up for ELO. And right now I'm sitting across the street from the Greek.

	1:15pm holland oats: it's not the season, it's the wacky tabacky
	1:15pm Mike East: Whaddup, John! I'm hoping to be gone before you get in tonight so I can start my vacation early. Peace!

	1:30pm CGHill: This has long been my favorite Rod Stewart track, even as it seems to glide into "Don't Let Me Down" towards the end.
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: Simon, I elected to forgo the available Dead tracks on the samplers.
	1:32pm holland oats: interesting dylan/lou reed combo
	1:32pm johnk77: @psstardard are u or do u know mark from the inn?
	1:34pm pacific standard simon: @johnk77 - Really miss Jerome's -- they had great weenies and Michelob on tap. Fine place to watch a ballgame or Saturday Night Live. Also, my '77 girlfriend worked there too. Nope, no Mark.

	1:47pm rf: FANTASTIC!
	1:48pm Dean: The Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band is an anagram of The Henhouse Five Plus Two, fyi.
	1:48pm listener james from westwood: PSS I can only imagine what her dreams were like through that stretch.
	1:49pm johnk77: norton luved hawaiian music
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I knew that.
	1:50pm johnk77: selecter did u know norton?
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: Mr. Buffalo? Never had the pleasure.
	1:53pm listener james from westwood: Like the way this has worked as a sort of cultural/music-style chart-sweep.
	1:53pm pacific standard simon: The last hour, much too soon (for everybody but Michael).
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Hello Kittzilla
	1:56pm pacific standard simon: The Gatorade bottle is half full or half empty, depending.
	1:59pm pacific standard simon: Prince was flying under most people's radar in those days.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: We mocked him in the record store.
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: Oh, my neighbors have to hear this Van Halen cut. ::enloudens::
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: keep it loud, James...trust me
	2:05pm pacific standard simon: Oh yes.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: Aw yiss. LOUDER.

	2:06pm karl_mundt: best SP song
	2:08pm V Priceless: SPUDS!!!
	2:09pm pacific standard simon: I'll go with "Pretty Vacant", but why choose?
	2:09pm listener james from westwood: We'll just be leaving it there thru 3 then, shall we?
	2:09pm holland oats: Q/A: if i have a cornerstone album, this is it
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Everything they had to say in one 3 minutes.
	2:15pm pacific standard simon: I want that mash-up of Van Halen guitar parts without the vocals that used to play on KPFA late at night.
	2:15pm karl_mundt: matching towels
	2:15pm northguineahills: man, I was three when this came out.
	2:15pm holland oats: B52s: if i have a cornerstone album, this is also it
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: Now pushing volume into lease-violating territory. It helps that I am INCHES from finishing a 6-week-long copyedit and am thus in a celebratory way.
	2:18pm holland oats: @lj good read?
	2:18pm pacific standard simon: I wonder if Dr. Demento was started down the path of weird records by hearing his name in a Nervous Norvus song.
	2:19pm SeanG: love that guitar sound
	2:19pm pacific standard simon: "Pass the claret to me, Barrett."
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: I think you have the timeline reversed, Simon.
	2:20pm Mike East: I met the B52s chicks in here...they were really nice.
	2:20pm holland oats: i have no problem with lorraine
	2:23pm V Priceless: oh this Tin Huey is great!!
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Ah, I geddit, Simon.
	2:23pm Jack: what a great version of I can't stand the rain, never heard it.
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: @holland oats: Actually, yes. First half was a college-level textbook for how to write research reports. Second half was a series of primary sources—articles, chapters, web posts—reprinted in the book to demonstrate various writing lessons. These were more of a skim than an edit, b/c they were scanned/keyboarded from scratch, mostly, so semi-recreational. What took the most time was adding coding to all files (>100 Word docs) for the compositor—open and close XML tags nearly all thru. Took at least a third of the time.
	2:27pm Mike East: this...is bizarre
	2:27pm Jack: Now, there's a blast from the 80s...seen these 3 many times in Manhattan, just faded out after a bit.
	2:28pm holland oats: <yeesh>yeesh</yeesh>

	2:32pm Webhamster Henry: I'm "working".
	2:33pm holland oats: dotes dotes dotes dotes
	2:34pm pacific standard simon: I set up a new inkjet printer and it started a cascade of having-to-move-this-here-so-I-can-move-that-there. All morning, except for the egg and polenta brekky.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: The archive won't stop recording the show till :08 after and I may need all of that.
	2:35pm Lane Steelpicker: I started listening in Woodbridge NJ. I'm driving a truck and you'll have gotten me to Breezewood PA by the end of the show.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Is that good time?
	2:36pm holland oats: i love that trippy harmonica fragment, who's idea was that?!?!
	2:36pm Alex In Illinois: I know I have heard or read at least one interview where an artist credited Allen Toussaint as a mentor in some capacity. Could any of these artists whom you have been mentioning Toussaint about be other Toussaint protégés?
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: mine
	2:37pm pacific standard simon: If you can find a song titled "Sex", you can follow it with this song and the VU's "Rock and Roll" on a later show.
	2:37pm Alex In Illinois: That Talking Heads song is a masterpiece.
	2:37pm Lane Steelpicker: Heather lost three hours to a flat tore last night. Making up time

	2:40pm Lane Steelpicker: My codriver and "work wife" is Heather. This week she drives nights
	2:42pm Mike East: keep your eyes on the road, Lane!
	2:43pm northguineahills: I thought cod were saltwater fish, there is a stream w/ enough fish of the genus Gadus to call it a cod river, cool!
	2:43pm Lane Steelpicker: I use the speech-to-text
	2:44pm pacific standard simon: Glad you're not typing and steering!
	2:47pm Dean: Bob Marley and the who?
	2:47pm Mike East: should that be Wankers?
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: is everyone here a copy editor?
	2:48pm Lane Steelpicker: Cod rivers are like cow orkers

	10:10am Joel: Truly inspired programming. Thanks !!
	9:40am David in ATL from NJ: BRAVO, UM!
	12:40pm Droll: I forgot I wrote this -- instead of adding a zillion individual comments over the course of the 3-4 days it took me to listen to the whole show I wrote all my comments in a draft email so I wouldn't lose them if I closed the playlist window. Then I forgot I wrote the email... As the saying goes, sorry so long, I didn't have time to make it shorter. ----------------------------------------------- Two Cowboys on one LP? They had balls. The Neon Philharmonic one was pretty crazy! Huge production. Nice to hear the backstory on Dr. Demento, I still have a box of cassettes I taped in the 80's of Dr. Demento by putting my shoebox recorder in front of a clock-radio. Nice to actually hear his (very young) voice at one point on the LLs. Bologna colored vinyl. [ Pregnant pause ] Bologna colored vinyl... Shouldn't Montrose be on the bologna colored one? I think your playlist background is close to bologna colored... 70's albums could put on the slickest production without getting flashy. The arrangements use horns and strings like it ain't no thang. A dozen people on a track wasn't uncommon back then. And the super-dry sound-sucker LA sound is all over these early 70's records like the Motown or Stax sound defines those collections. 1978 seems to be the inflection point where the refined professional sonic approach was jettisoned and the DIY sound took over. It's almost as if it became uncouth to have blues roots. By 1980 every track has a synthesizer pad on it and punk was already boring and The Buggles had successfully fused the slick 70's production with the synthesizer sound. I was never punk, a little new-wave, but mostly prog. I was a big Duran Duran fan, which is as new-wave as I got. Well, Japan... Were they New Wave or Art Pop? DD are usually written off as a teeny-bopper band, but they wrote all their own songs and played their own instruments and there are some very interesting things happening on those records, and of course, the stuff they did with Nile Rodgers deserved to be the huge hit it was. I was pre-teen for Rock Lobster, and when I got older the B-52's never really grew on me. I was never sure if the band or their fans were being ironic or not. I'd be interested in better understanding how the band's contracts preventing/allowed licensing for non-for-profit distribution of copyrighted music also being sold (by the selfsame company!). The promotional catalog numbers no doubt played a (legal) role in depriving artists of revenue. Zappa really truly believed Loss Leaders work, his business model needed large amounts of exposure because the expected audience was small. He was very sophisticated with the business and he would have stopped if it weren't helping. This was a great show, a nice (albeit oddly skewed) historical perspective. Fun for music geeks, the original audience has long since moved on. I like the idea there are both business and musical reasons to explain the LL series, probably a very complicated interplay. It just occurred to me you don't do station ID's! How am I supposed to tell time? "Reporting on each other's research". You mean plagiarism? I like that you plan what to play based on knowing how much your show can run over. Thanks for the LL show -- have a fun week!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: I'm humbled that you took the time to compose your response, as you did. May astute observations and it's nice to hear other people's perspective on the times and the tunes. Thanks, Droll.
