	12:03pm Lane Steelpicker: Hhowfy!! You should check out this last week's I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue. One Song To the Tune of Another was especially good

	12:08pm Uncle Michael: O-la o-la ay!
	12:09pm Cecile: nice to know the original is so dang funky
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: I hope everyone is quite well today.
	12:14pm Dean: Quite! GIF is channeling Hannah Höch.
	12:14pm Lane Steelpicker: Doing good but running late. Construction delays
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: I'd hoped johnk77 would be here for this'n.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Where at?
	12:15pm listener james from westwood: All the better for being asked, UM! Cracking first set!!
	12:15pm pacific standard simon: Good... morning... I think?
	12:15pm Lewis: rats! - missed the intro...
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Thanks...and glad to hear it, James. Hi Simon.
	12:16pm Lane Steelpicker: Frystown pa. NE of Hershey
	12:17pm Cecile: snakefinger!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: umm...really?
	12:18pm pacific standard simon: Workin' the collections and anthologies today?
	12:18pm Cecile: Yeha, think he did some time with them before going to SF and the Residents.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Not by design, Simon. Wow, Cecile. I didn't know.
	12:19pm Cecile: No, met the Residents first, and then formed this band: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:20pm Jeff Golick: How many LPs is a collection called Top 2000 Radio Songs? Or is it a collection that aims to anticipate the top songs in the year 2000?
	12:20pm Lane Steelpicker: On a good day, I'm on the pike before you start. Two weeks ago, I was still in Jersey at 11, and woke up after you started. Great mix today
	12:22pm Dean: So weird. I was thinking about Chilli Willi yesterday, but now I realize I was confusing Chilli Charles, who appears on the Virgin "V" sampler.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Lane, I hope you weren't already on the road when you woke up.
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, because of how some of these tracks are sourced, I don't always actually have the compilations referenced. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
	12:30pm Lane Steelpicker: Heather was still driving when I woke up. Thursday evening I go to bed in Dayton Ohio and wake up in Jersey
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: I've had that nightmare.
	12:31pm pacific standard simon: McArthur Park is melting in the dark.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Yeah but this lyric makes sense without psychedelics!
	12:34pm pacific standard simon: Theme song to one of my favorite shows, as a wee chump.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Then Came Simon
	12:35pm johnk77: thanx selecter UM for the shoutout and the spin Spanish Stroll always a highlight of Mink DeVille live shows
	12:35pm Cecile: who's on the keys?
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: I never had the pleasure!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: I'd have to Google it, Cecile...then pretend I already knew...and that would be wrong.
	12:38pm johnk77: Ian Stewart
	12:38pm Cecile: I looked it up, it was Ian Stewart.
	12:38pm Dean: "Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it. When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do is to know what books have treated of it. This leads us to look at catalogues, and at the backs of books in libraries. Or you could Google it." — Samuel Johnson (Boswell's Life of Johnson)
	12:39pm Cecile: Aussie country!
	12:39pm pacific standard simon: ...Playing with both ass cheeks.
	12:40pm Lane Steelpicker: And this is the original version. The Hank Snow was an Americanized rewrite
	12:41pm Cecile: gotta find this for my dad
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Lane's right, you know.
	12:41pm Cecile: wow, that is so cool!
	12:42pm listener james from westwood: Good to hear from Ernie!
	12:43pm pacific standard simon: Third kind of knowledge, Dean: Making shit up. That's my favorite.
	12:44pm listener james from westwood: Where would I be without it? It's my primary way of interacting with my friends' kids. I anticipate the parents will merge all their lawsuits against me into one class action.
	12:45pm Lane Steelpicker: I'm sorry. Did I steel your thunder (simulated by the crash of a spring reverb)?
	12:46pm Lane Steelpicker: Nope. Winnemucca is the American. Winnemucca is in Nevada
	12:49pm Lane Steelpicker: Where I-80 meets US395. Once won 705 dollars at the 76 truck stop keno there. On my birthday.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Hinky Dinky Time invented making shit up. I just made that up.
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: The prior art on making shit up is itself made up.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: I have no thunder, Lane!
	12:51pm Jeff Golick: One of my fave instances of making shiz up: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	12:51pm Dean: Who says we don't need to reinvent the wheel?
	12:52pm pacific standard simon: Pardon my uncouth today. You're right, Uncle -- Michael Parks was a far better singer than most TV actors. But I lost interest after he revealed that he voted for George Wallace in '68.
	12:52pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yes, Calvin's dad is a doctorate at that.
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: That's memorable, Jeff.
	12:55pm listener james from westwood: A fave making-shit-up story: In the NYC area of the late 80s, you used to see car air fresheners shaped like crowns. Someone got curious about these things and asked what they were. A friend of mine told her that Puerto Rico used to be a monarchy, and that these crowns were how local folks from the island showed their support for its restoration. He doubled down by adding that the different-colored crowns represented supporters of different factions trying to regain the throne.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: That's some great fucking making-shit-up!
	12:56pm pacific standard simon: Sure is!
	12:57pm duke: My wife and I used to make up factoids like "did you know that bees have 4 ears". You can make up any sort of "fact" if it sounds like you know what you're talking about.
	12:58pm listener james from westwood: I image-Googled the crowns: Apparently they were more of an early-90s thing, and there were urban legends attached to them, but nothing about the lost Kingdom of Puerto Rico: www.snopes.com...
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: But Tom Jones really does have four testicles.
	12:58pm βrian: Did the fir-tree odorizers signify an underground dealer of Christmas trees?
	12:59pm Dean: Tom Jones was made up by Henry Fielding!
	12:59pm duke: pine tree air fresheners www.youtube.com...
	12:59pm Lane Steelpicker: LOL, UM. Bob is no Tommy Duncan....
	1:00pm Jeff Golick: That God Knows is making me reconsider my position on Vol. 8.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: I suppose that's so. Who's Tommy Duncan?
	1:01pm listener james from westwood: Outstanding call, duke!
	1:01pm listener james from westwood: Too damn long since I've seen that film. With Harry Dean Stanton burning up the charts on WFMU, now's the time for a rewatch.
	1:02pm Alex In Illinois: I think I have heard this Corinna song sung by the Mississippi Sheiks or from some recording that was made nearly a century ago.
	1:02pm Lane Steelpicker: Bob Wills' most famous singer (and second best. I like Leon Rausch)
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Ahhhhh....Leon!
	1:03pm duke: I have watched Repo Man way too many times. i could watch it again .
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: First saw it in college one late night. Think that's about right.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: It hasn't held up that well for me.
	1:04pm pacific standard simon: My wife just demonstrated another important function of wives, by pointing out that the rear of my bathrobe was tucked into my pants. I wish I WAS making that up.
	1:04pm duke: I blame society. Society made me what I am.
	1:05pm listener james from westwood: Dave the Spazz used to end his show w/ the film's ending track.
	1:05pm Lane Steelpicker: RIP, JJ. Is that Eric on the Strat?
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: I don't believe that Eric even knew JJ then...I could check the liner notes after the next break...or Google.
	1:07pm duke: This is not the same Machine Gun as the Brotzmann version
	1:07pm hank: i thought it sounded diff
	1:08pm pacific standard simon: Kites are made of nano-fabric that is actually lighter than air.
	1:08pm PKNY: Yeah, that version of "Machine Gun" had a very '80s remix' feel to it. And it seemed to be missing the wah guitars that the Beasties used on "Hey Ladies".
	1:10pm Dean: Brotzmann plays a Commodore saxophone.
	1:10pm Cecile: not to be confused with Hendrix's Machine Gun
	1:11pm Mike East: my daughter's name is spelled Carina, but it sounds the same as Dylan sings it
	1:11pm Mike East: ...and Hello Everybody!
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Most I ever played was a Commodore 64!
	1:13pm pacific standard simon: Wow, this drummer is REALLY slow -- bet he couldn't play fast if he tried... ;)
	1:14pm PKNY: @PSS: And that drummer would be Marky Ramone! en.wikipedia.org...
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Proggy Ramone
	1:16pm PKNY: And the guitar player/singer of Dust is half of the production team that did the first 2 KISS albums.
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: @pss: You could always just walk around back-to-back: youtu.be...
	1:18pm pacific standard simon: See that winky face there, PKNY?
	1:19pm PKNY: Ahhh, the humor went right over my head...typical Friday mush-mindedness. :)
	1:21pm pacific standard simon: Thinks have come a long way in 2000 years, Jeff.
	1:21pm listener james from westwood: Diggin' the heavy turn we've taken!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I felt it was time.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: It goes with the gif.
	1:26pm hank: hot damn!
	1:26pm PKNY: This part of the Shovell track veered really hard into Sabbath territory right now.
	1:27pm hank: volume at 11
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Keep it at 11. Put on your boots.
	1:30pm hank: yeeee hah
	1:33pm Lane Steelpicker: PAUL!!! Mr. Franklin is a BAMF
	1:34pm Lane Steelpicker: Although that mighta been Mike Johnston. Brad uses them both
	1:36pm Dean: Did I hear "late Marky Ramone"? I don't think so...
	1:36pm pacific standard simon: Well, no -- not late Marky.
	1:37pm Rich in Washington: I'll bet Marky Ramone is tired of people asking how he's doing...
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Erp...I hate brain farts. Did I say that? Crap.
	1:38pm pacific standard simon: You were just making shit up. That's the ticket!
	1:38pm Rich in Washington: I always refer to everyone as 'the late', that way I don't have to update my show audio archives later.
	1:39pm Dean: Better "the at one time living ..." Timeless accuracy!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: All Ramones must die...for the sake of accuracy.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: "The once vibrant..."
	1:41pm Dean: I own all twelve Stackridge albums, all signed by the members of the band, the producers, and the engineers.
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: In the eternal "now", we're ALL "late" -- and "early".
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: I'm not sure I like all 12! I told Mike Tobin I was going to play some Stackridge and he went and told the Stackridge FB group.
	1:42pm Dean: Which reminds me, I have an appointment with Ram Dass. He's supposed to be here now!
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: !!!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: He stopped for a hot dog on the way...he told the vendor...
	1:43pm johnk77: @mikeeast controlling the session pushing the levers in the front office
	1:44pm Dean: "...I need to catsup."
	1:44pm Tate: Able to listen this afternoon
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: (rimshot)
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Hi Tate!
	1:45pm johnk77: selecter thanx for the cue speaking of rumdum i will now? cut+paste The Dalai Lama walked into Jerome's Good Dogs and said to Norman Greenbaum "make me one with everything"
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: there ya go
	1:47pm Dean: That's not how I remembered it. Something about "to get to the other side."
	1:47pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of "late", I have a 9 hour work shift to begin "enjoying" in.... 13 minutes. See ya!
	1:48pm johnk77: dean ru mark from the inn? across the street
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Bye Simon...thanks for playing along at home!
	1:50pm Dean: johnk77: I am across a street. There's a bunch of chickens over there.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: speaking of chickens...
	1:51pm johnk77: ru north of the bay?
	1:51pm Dean: Nope. East Bay. Little hamlet called Berkeley.
	1:52pm johnk77: there is a dock
	1:53pm Dean: Whole lotta docs here!
	1:54pm johnk77: where aaron met alan watts etc/
	1:54pm Lane Steelpicker: Steeleye Span flashbacks
	1:55pm johnk77: freshman dropout of cal wife just bought more steeleye span at record fair
	1:56pm johnk77: got any barry melton?
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: I'll poke around for a future inclusion, john.
	2:05pm Dean: Country Joe used to run a coffee shop in Berkeley.
	2:06pm Lane Steelpicker: The Need Not Occur Singers sabotage another song
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Eh, what, Lane?
	2:09pm johnk77: Barry was a gas when i talked to him last 2 years ago Sonoma
	2:10pm Lane Steelpicker: Anita Kerr Singers behind Bobby
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Ah, well...it was the times, I suppose.
	2:11pm Dean: Another McKuen reference!
	2:12pm Lane Steelpicker: I'm a few minutes behind. When I dictate a comment, TuneIn pauses the feed
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Lane, you should give the WFMU app a shot.
	2:14pm Dean: johnk77: Do you know North Bay Live in Sonoma? Good music programming. Heard Jimmy LaFave in a converted barn.
	2:14pm Lane Steelpicker: Should I type and drive 22 wheels instead of dictate?
	2:15pm listener james from westwood: Ah, good point. Arrive alive!
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: I just mean for listening. it might not pause.
	2:16pm johnk77: @Lane good noticing often recently when possible i listen on separate hardware from where i have browser open commenting selecter is also correct wfmu apps are useful do not know north bay live
	🛒 2:16pm Brian in UK: By jove Uncle you got a cookin' comments today. Going for a record.
	2:17pm Lane Steelpicker: Shift gear, check mirror, shift gear, murder a prostitute, shift gear, check mirror
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: Could be, Brian. How many are just me? Over 400 in the six hour show but that was different.
	2:18pm johnk77: check my 2nd line in monitor
	2:18pm hank: @lane: hahaaaaah
	2:20pm Lane Steelpicker: If it didn't pause, it'd snip the bits when the headset has the audio. LOVE B3!!!
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: Just read 'One Leg Too Few' by William Cook a biography of Peter Cook & Dudley Moore. Funny & sad by turns. How were they seen in the US?
	2:23pm Jeff Golick: Dudley Moore: mainly as that guy ogling Bo Derek in 10. Peter Cook: not seen, in the main.
	2:24pm david from ks: uncy m
	2:25pm Jeff Golick: Having worked for BBC Audiobooks America, and tried to sell CDs that collected old Goon Show eps, I can say with some confidence that when Americans think of British comedy, they think of Monty Python and Benny Hill full stop.
	🛒 2:26pm Brian in UK: Jeff You might like this. It's all in the punch line. www.youtube.com...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Hi david...how'my coming in in Hutch?
	2:26pm hank: minnie?
	2:26pm Dean: We knew them, and more so Goon Show, as progenitors/contemporaries of Monty Python.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Yes!
	2:27pm KW: Minnie Ripperton?
	2:27pm Lane Steelpicker: Which means they miss the Goons, ISIHAC and Just A Minute. Speaking of the Goons, I LOVE Geldray's harp
	🛒 2:29pm Brian in UK: Cook & Moore paved the way for Python. They changed how you could challenge the post war powers that be. Cleese was in awe of Cook.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: What a great way to drop the bass. sigh
	2:30pm Lane Steelpicker: I spend a lot of time listening to the ROK British comedy stream. Kens Dodd and Horne tickle me.
	2:31pm Jeff Golick: @Brian: thanks for that. It's like an architectural rendering of a Python sketch.
	2:31pm Dean: Funny, isn't it, a guy name Marriott singing about living in a jail cell?
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: Has anyone ever heard Dudley Moore's classical piano arrangement of the Colonel Bogey March? Ingenious and hilarious.
	2:32pm Dean: Humbly, I urge you, UM, to proof the playlist...
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: I'm collecting Marriott Correctional Suites reward points.
	🛒 2:32pm Brian in UK: Peter Cook wrote a successful revue show for Kenneth Williams when he was at uni. Jeff Cook wrote that when he was nineteen in 1958.
	2:33pm hank: Humply
	2:33pm Mike East: nicely done, Dean
	2:33pm Lane Steelpicker: Peter Cook was on the periphery, but Dudley had high points. Arthur and Unfaithfully Yours
	2:33pm Dean: And I've accrued 100 hours of unpaid leave.
	🛒 2:33pm Brian in UK: Moore recorded with Dizzy.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Humply obliging.
	2:34pm Cecile: I'd also add Mr. Bean. Not my cup of tea at all, but a lot of Americans like that movie. I liked Alexei Sayle back in the day. And Daniel Kitson was really funny opening for Eugene Mirman recently. But tis true that the Goons were more a cult thing over here.
	2:35pm Dean: It'd be an acceptable typo on a Wednesday.
	2:36pm Cecile: Dudley Moore seemd to be a sweetheart. his last years were tough - had to sell his successful restaurant for medical bills. A couple who were fans of his made sure he was taken care of and got to hear music, even though he couldn't play it anymore.
	2:36pm Mike East: @cecile - I was very disappointed by the Mr. Bean movie, but I used to videotape the show off PBS...still have the tape somewhere.
	🛒 2:36pm Brian in UK: Beyond the Fringe open the flood gates. Cook, Moore, Jonathan Miller & Alan Bennett. Played Broadway in early Sixties.
	2:37pm Cecile: People thought he was a trembling drunk in the 80s, but it was his neurological condition that made him seem that way.
	2:37pm Cecile: Jonathan Miller had an awesome series a while back on PBS about the Human Body.
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: Arthur, of course, @Lane. Probably his high-water mark in the US. (That part didn't help the trembling drunk perception, probably, @Cecile.)
	2:39pm Jeff Golick: The legacy of British comedy ON THE RADIO, alone, is pretty staggering.
	2:39pm Mike East: I didn't see Arthur until just a few years ago, but I laughed my ass off. Liza is amazing in it, too.
	2:39pm Lane Steelpicker: Love them Millses. Had them on the reception CD
	2:39pm Cecile: no it didn't Jeff.
	🛒 2:39pm Brian in UK: Miller was a doctor, hence the show. Sad end for Dud the stud, loved the ladies. Extreme Parkinsons. Very sad, robbed of his music. How cruel.
	2:40pm Cecile: Oh! Hitchhikers Guide has a big following over here. I remember hearing it on radio bootlegs and then actual albums
	2:40pm Mike East: Andy Breckman was a writer for Arthur 2.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: There was never anyone better than the Mills Brothers. Well, Captain Beefheart...maybe. But that's it.
	2:41pm Jeff Golick: WFMU: Retaking reggae from frat bros one tune at a time.
	2:41pm Cecile: I remember him being a subject on a US magazine show toward the end. He was sitting at a orchestal concert, an absolutely beatific look on his face.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: It's a slog, Jeff.
	2:42pm Cecile: OMG. Bobby Sherman! My first crush.
	2:43pm Cecile: you gotta love the pop banjo.
	2:43pm Lane Steelpicker: The Ames Brothers ain't bad.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I suspect that this is a re-record.
	2:43pm hank: my sister loved bobby
	2:44pm Dean: Could be wrong, but I think Meshuggah covered this tune.
	2:44pm Cecile: I even watched every episode of his TV show.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: That's wonderful, Dean. I'll look for that!
	🛒 2:45pm Brian in UK: Dud had a jazz trio that he played with all the way through. First bass played died in a car crash, second's girl friend left him for the drummer. He committed suicide. Crazy world. Enough.
	2:46pm Dean: [This making-shit-up stuff is pretty easy!]
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: hahahaha
	2:47pm Cecile: I have to take a break to hear Rotary doing "tales". Also, Trouble does a great version of this.
	2:47pm Cecile: not Trouble the DJ. Trouble the doom band.
	2:48pm Dean: We do our best not to trouble the DJ.
	2:48pm Lane Steelpicker: I always confuse Della Reese and Della Street.
	🛒 2:50pm Brian in UK: Killin' it, Uncle. Just got the swag today, got a car drive tomorrow, so your premium and some others will make the journey shorter. Have you heard Bunny Wailer's Conqueror?
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: I feel like I'm watching a 80s Pakistani horror movie.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Probably but I'd have to agaiin to say "oh, yeah!"
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I was pretty happy when my swag arrived too.
	2:55pm listener james from westwood: Must hit the kitchen for a few minutes. If my hands are too food-gloppy to type this later, thanks hugely for the fab Friday show!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for attending services today, James.
	2:56pm Jeff Golick: I just got Tony Coutler's swag CD. Can't wait to dig in. It is 100% virgin listening for me. As is typical of his weekly shows, too.
	2:57pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: I love yours, and Jeff's, Jeff.
	2:57pm Dean: Minnie again?
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Heh. No.
	2:58pm Cecile: Is this 4 Seasons?
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Bob. Nope!
	2:59pm Cecile: yes it is!
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: I'm pushing up to the eight minute after limit again.
	2:59pm Cecile: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:59pm Lane Steelpicker: Frank Oz?
	3:00pm Lewis: Kickin'' it to the very end!
	3:00pm Lane Steelpicker: Jerry on pedal steel!!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: I'm not blowing their cover, Cecile. I have to much respect for that. snicker
	3:00pm Mike East: been a great show, UM. til next week, take care!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Jerry's birthday today.
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Bye Mike, thanks!
	3:01pm Jack: Ahhhhhhhh....great end to the show...Happy birthday, Jerry
	3:01pm Cecile: Jersey Boy enabler.
	3:04pm Jack: Doooo Dooo Dooo do...
	3:04pm Santos L Halper: Fare thee well Jer (and all y'all)!
	3:05pm Cecile: great show, Michael!

	3:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all...bye for now.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 1, 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.

	12:03pm Lane Steelpicker: Hhowfy!! You should check out this last week's I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue. One Song To the Tune of Another was especially good

	12:17pm Cecile: snakefinger!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: umm...really?
	12:18pm pacific standard simon: Workin' the collections and anthologies today?
	12:18pm Cecile: Yeha, think he did some time with them before going to SF and the Residents.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Not by design, Simon. Wow, Cecile. I didn't know.
	12:19pm Cecile: No, met the Residents first, and then formed this band: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:20pm Jeff Golick: How many LPs is a collection called Top 2000 Radio Songs? Or is it a collection that aims to anticipate the top songs in the year 2000?
	12:20pm Lane Steelpicker: On a good day, I'm on the pike before you start. Two weeks ago, I was still in Jersey at 11, and woke up after you started. Great mix today
	12:22pm Dean: So weird. I was thinking about Chilli Willi yesterday, but now I realize I was confusing Chilli Charles, who appears on the Virgin "V" sampler.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Lane, I hope you weren't already on the road when you woke up.
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, because of how some of these tracks are sourced, I don't always actually have the compilations referenced. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
	12:30pm Lane Steelpicker: Heather was still driving when I woke up. Thursday evening I go to bed in Dayton Ohio and wake up in Jersey
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: I've had that nightmare.
	12:31pm pacific standard simon: McArthur Park is melting in the dark.
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Yeah but this lyric makes sense without psychedelics!
	12:34pm pacific standard simon: Theme song to one of my favorite shows, as a wee chump.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Then Came Simon
	12:35pm johnk77: thanx selecter UM for the shoutout and the spin Spanish Stroll always a highlight of Mink DeVille live shows
	12:35pm Cecile: who's on the keys?
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: I never had the pleasure!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: I'd have to Google it, Cecile...then pretend I already knew...and that would be wrong.
	12:38pm johnk77: Ian Stewart
	12:38pm Cecile: I looked it up, it was Ian Stewart.
	12:38pm Dean: "Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it. When we enquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do is to know what books have treated of it. This leads us to look at catalogues, and at the backs of books in libraries. Or you could Google it." — Samuel Johnson (Boswell's Life of Johnson)
	12:39pm Cecile: Aussie country!
	12:39pm pacific standard simon: ...Playing with both ass cheeks.
	12:40pm Lane Steelpicker: And this is the original version. The Hank Snow was an Americanized rewrite
	12:41pm Cecile: gotta find this for my dad
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Lane's right, you know.
	12:41pm Cecile: wow, that is so cool!
	12:42pm listener james from westwood: Good to hear from Ernie!
	12:43pm pacific standard simon: Third kind of knowledge, Dean: Making shit up. That's my favorite.
	12:44pm listener james from westwood: Where would I be without it? It's my primary way of interacting with my friends' kids. I anticipate the parents will merge all their lawsuits against me into one class action.
	12:45pm Lane Steelpicker: I'm sorry. Did I steel your thunder (simulated by the crash of a spring reverb)?
	12:46pm Lane Steelpicker: Nope. Winnemucca is the American. Winnemucca is in Nevada
	12:49pm Lane Steelpicker: Where I-80 meets US395. Once won 705 dollars at the 76 truck stop keno there. On my birthday.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Hinky Dinky Time invented making shit up. I just made that up.
	12:50pm listener james from westwood: The prior art on making shit up is itself made up.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: I have no thunder, Lane!
	12:51pm Jeff Golick: One of my fave instances of making shiz up: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	12:51pm Dean: Who says we don't need to reinvent the wheel?
	12:52pm pacific standard simon: Pardon my uncouth today. You're right, Uncle -- Michael Parks was a far better singer than most TV actors. But I lost interest after he revealed that he voted for George Wallace in '68.
	12:52pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yes, Calvin's dad is a doctorate at that.
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: That's memorable, Jeff.
	12:55pm listener james from westwood: A fave making-shit-up story: In the NYC area of the late 80s, you used to see car air fresheners shaped like crowns. Someone got curious about these things and asked what they were. A friend of mine told her that Puerto Rico used to be a monarchy, and that these crowns were how local folks from the island showed their support for its restoration. He doubled down by adding that the different-colored crowns represented supporters of different factions trying to regain the throne.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: That's some great fucking making-shit-up!
	12:56pm pacific standard simon: Sure is!
	12:57pm duke: My wife and I used to make up factoids like "did you know that bees have 4 ears". You can make up any sort of "fact" if it sounds like you know what you're talking about.
	12:58pm listener james from westwood: I image-Googled the crowns: Apparently they were more of an early-90s thing, and there were urban legends attached to them, but nothing about the lost Kingdom of Puerto Rico: www.snopes.com...
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: But Tom Jones really does have four testicles.
	12:58pm βrian: Did the fir-tree odorizers signify an underground dealer of Christmas trees?
	12:59pm Dean: Tom Jones was made up by Henry Fielding!
	12:59pm duke: pine tree air fresheners www.youtube.com...
	12:59pm Lane Steelpicker: LOL, UM. Bob is no Tommy Duncan....
	1:00pm Jeff Golick: That God Knows is making me reconsider my position on Vol. 8.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: I suppose that's so. Who's Tommy Duncan?
	1:01pm listener james from westwood: Outstanding call, duke!
	1:01pm listener james from westwood: Too damn long since I've seen that film. With Harry Dean Stanton burning up the charts on WFMU, now's the time for a rewatch.
	1:02pm Alex In Illinois: I think I have heard this Corinna song sung by the Mississippi Sheiks or from some recording that was made nearly a century ago.
	1:02pm Lane Steelpicker: Bob Wills' most famous singer (and second best. I like Leon Rausch)
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Ahhhhh....Leon!
	1:03pm duke: I have watched Repo Man way too many times. i could watch it again .
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: First saw it in college one late night. Think that's about right.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: It hasn't held up that well for me.
	1:04pm pacific standard simon: My wife just demonstrated another important function of wives, by pointing out that the rear of my bathrobe was tucked into my pants. I wish I WAS making that up.
	1:04pm duke: I blame society. Society made me what I am.
	1:05pm listener james from westwood: Dave the Spazz used to end his show w/ the film's ending track.
	1:05pm Lane Steelpicker: RIP, JJ. Is that Eric on the Strat?
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: I don't believe that Eric even knew JJ then...I could check the liner notes after the next break...or Google.
	1:07pm duke: This is not the same Machine Gun as the Brotzmann version
	1:07pm hank: i thought it sounded diff
	1:08pm pacific standard simon: Kites are made of nano-fabric that is actually lighter than air.
	1:08pm PKNY: Yeah, that version of "Machine Gun" had a very '80s remix' feel to it. And it seemed to be missing the wah guitars that the Beasties used on "Hey Ladies".
	1:10pm Dean: Brotzmann plays a Commodore saxophone.
	1:10pm Cecile: not to be confused with Hendrix's Machine Gun
	1:11pm Mike East: my daughter's name is spelled Carina, but it sounds the same as Dylan sings it
	1:11pm Mike East: ...and Hello Everybody!
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Most I ever played was a Commodore 64!
	1:13pm pacific standard simon: Wow, this drummer is REALLY slow -- bet he couldn't play fast if he tried... ;)
	1:14pm PKNY: @PSS: And that drummer would be Marky Ramone! en.wikipedia.org...
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Proggy Ramone
	1:16pm PKNY: And the guitar player/singer of Dust is half of the production team that did the first 2 KISS albums.
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: @pss: You could always just walk around back-to-back: youtu.be...
	1:18pm pacific standard simon: See that winky face there, PKNY?
	1:19pm PKNY: Ahhh, the humor went right over my head...typical Friday mush-mindedness. :)
	1:21pm pacific standard simon: Thinks have come a long way in 2000 years, Jeff.
	1:21pm listener james from westwood: Diggin' the heavy turn we've taken!
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I felt it was time.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: It goes with the gif.
	1:26pm hank: hot damn!
	1:26pm PKNY: This part of the Shovell track veered really hard into Sabbath territory right now.
	1:27pm hank: volume at 11
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Keep it at 11. Put on your boots.
	1:30pm hank: yeeee hah
	1:33pm Lane Steelpicker: PAUL!!! Mr. Franklin is a BAMF
	1:34pm Lane Steelpicker: Although that mighta been Mike Johnston. Brad uses them both
	1:36pm Dean: Did I hear "late Marky Ramone"? I don't think so...
	1:36pm pacific standard simon: Well, no -- not late Marky.
	1:37pm Rich in Washington: I'll bet Marky Ramone is tired of people asking how he's doing...
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Erp...I hate brain farts. Did I say that? Crap.
	1:38pm pacific standard simon: You were just making shit up. That's the ticket!
	1:38pm Rich in Washington: I always refer to everyone as 'the late', that way I don't have to update my show audio archives later.
	1:39pm Dean: Better "the at one time living ..." Timeless accuracy!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: All Ramones must die...for the sake of accuracy.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: "The once vibrant..."
	1:41pm Dean: I own all twelve Stackridge albums, all signed by the members of the band, the producers, and the engineers.
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: In the eternal "now", we're ALL "late" -- and "early".
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: I'm not sure I like all 12! I told Mike Tobin I was going to play some Stackridge and he went and told the Stackridge FB group.
	1:42pm Dean: Which reminds me, I have an appointment with Ram Dass. He's supposed to be here now!
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: !!!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: He stopped for a hot dog on the way...he told the vendor...
	1:43pm johnk77: @mikeeast controlling the session pushing the levers in the front office

	1:46pm Uncle Michael: there ya go
	1:47pm Dean: That's not how I remembered it. Something about "to get to the other side."
	1:47pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of "late", I have a 9 hour work shift to begin "enjoying" in.... 13 minutes. See ya!
	1:48pm johnk77: dean ru mark from the inn? across the street

	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Eh, what, Lane?
	2:09pm johnk77: Barry was a gas when i talked to him last 2 years ago Sonoma
	2:10pm Lane Steelpicker: Anita Kerr Singers behind Bobby
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Ah, well...it was the times, I suppose.
	2:11pm Dean: Another McKuen reference!
	2:12pm Lane Steelpicker: I'm a few minutes behind. When I dictate a comment, TuneIn pauses the feed
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Lane, you should give the WFMU app a shot.
	2:14pm Dean: johnk77: Do you know North Bay Live in Sonoma? Good music programming. Heard Jimmy LaFave in a converted barn.
	2:14pm Lane Steelpicker: Should I type and drive 22 wheels instead of dictate?
	2:15pm listener james from westwood: Ah, good point. Arrive alive!
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: I just mean for listening. it might not pause.
	2:16pm johnk77: @Lane good noticing often recently when possible i listen on separate hardware from where i have browser open commenting selecter is also correct wfmu apps are useful do not know north bay live
	🛒 2:16pm Brian in UK: By jove Uncle you got a cookin' comments today. Going for a record.
	2:17pm Lane Steelpicker: Shift gear, check mirror, shift gear, murder a prostitute, shift gear, check mirror
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: Could be, Brian. How many are just me? Over 400 in the six hour show but that was different.
	2:18pm johnk77: check my 2nd line in monitor
	2:18pm hank: @lane: hahaaaaah
	2:20pm Lane Steelpicker: If it didn't pause, it'd snip the bits when the headset has the audio. LOVE B3!!!
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: Just read 'One Leg Too Few' by William Cook a biography of Peter Cook & Dudley Moore. Funny & sad by turns. How were they seen in the US?
	2:23pm Jeff Golick: Dudley Moore: mainly as that guy ogling Bo Derek in 10. Peter Cook: not seen, in the main.
	2:24pm david from ks: uncy m
	2:25pm Jeff Golick: Having worked for BBC Audiobooks America, and tried to sell CDs that collected old Goon Show eps, I can say with some confidence that when Americans think of British comedy, they think of Monty Python and Benny Hill full stop.
	🛒 2:26pm Brian in UK: Jeff You might like this. It's all in the punch line. www.youtube.com...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Hi david...how'my coming in in Hutch?
	2:26pm hank: minnie?
	2:26pm Dean: We knew them, and more so Goon Show, as progenitors/contemporaries of Monty Python.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Yes!
	2:27pm KW: Minnie Ripperton?
	2:27pm Lane Steelpicker: Which means they miss the Goons, ISIHAC and Just A Minute. Speaking of the Goons, I LOVE Geldray's harp
	🛒 2:29pm Brian in UK: Cook & Moore paved the way for Python. They changed how you could challenge the post war powers that be. Cleese was in awe of Cook.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: What a great way to drop the bass. sigh
	2:30pm Lane Steelpicker: I spend a lot of time listening to the ROK British comedy stream. Kens Dodd and Horne tickle me.
	2:31pm Jeff Golick: @Brian: thanks for that. It's like an architectural rendering of a Python sketch.
	2:31pm Dean: Funny, isn't it, a guy name Marriott singing about living in a jail cell?
	2:32pm Alex In Illinois: Has anyone ever heard Dudley Moore's classical piano arrangement of the Colonel Bogey March? Ingenious and hilarious.
	2:32pm Dean: Humbly, I urge you, UM, to proof the playlist...
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: I'm collecting Marriott Correctional Suites reward points.
	🛒 2:32pm Brian in UK: Peter Cook wrote a successful revue show for Kenneth Williams when he was at uni. Jeff Cook wrote that when he was nineteen in 1958.
	2:33pm hank: Humply
	2:33pm Mike East: nicely done, Dean
	2:33pm Lane Steelpicker: Peter Cook was on the periphery, but Dudley had high points. Arthur and Unfaithfully Yours
	2:33pm Dean: And I've accrued 100 hours of unpaid leave.
	🛒 2:33pm Brian in UK: Moore recorded with Dizzy.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Humply obliging.
	2:34pm Cecile: I'd also add Mr. Bean. Not my cup of tea at all, but a lot of Americans like that movie. I liked Alexei Sayle back in the day. And Daniel Kitson was really funny opening for Eugene Mirman recently. But tis true that the Goons were more a cult thing over here.
	2:35pm Dean: It'd be an acceptable typo on a Wednesday.
	2:36pm Cecile: Dudley Moore seemd to be a sweetheart. his last years were tough - had to sell his successful restaurant for medical bills. A couple who were fans of his made sure he was taken care of and got to hear music, even though he couldn't play it anymore.
	2:36pm Mike East: @cecile - I was very disappointed by the Mr. Bean movie, but I used to videotape the show off PBS...still have the tape somewhere.
	🛒 2:36pm Brian in UK: Beyond the Fringe open the flood gates. Cook, Moore, Jonathan Miller & Alan Bennett. Played Broadway in early Sixties.
	2:37pm Cecile: People thought he was a trembling drunk in the 80s, but it was his neurological condition that made him seem that way.
	2:37pm Cecile: Jonathan Miller had an awesome series a while back on PBS about the Human Body.
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: Arthur, of course, @Lane. Probably his high-water mark in the US. (That part didn't help the trembling drunk perception, probably, @Cecile.)
	2:39pm Jeff Golick: The legacy of British comedy ON THE RADIO, alone, is pretty staggering.
	2:39pm Mike East: I didn't see Arthur until just a few years ago, but I laughed my ass off. Liza is amazing in it, too.
	2:39pm Lane Steelpicker: Love them Millses. Had them on the reception CD
	2:39pm Cecile: no it didn't Jeff.
	🛒 2:39pm Brian in UK: Miller was a doctor, hence the show. Sad end for Dud the stud, loved the ladies. Extreme Parkinsons. Very sad, robbed of his music. How cruel.
	2:40pm Cecile: Oh! Hitchhikers Guide has a big following over here. I remember hearing it on radio bootlegs and then actual albums
	2:40pm Mike East: Andy Breckman was a writer for Arthur 2.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: There was never anyone better than the Mills Brothers. Well, Captain Beefheart...maybe. But that's it.
	2:41pm Jeff Golick: WFMU: Retaking reggae from frat bros one tune at a time.
	2:41pm Cecile: I remember him being a subject on a US magazine show toward the end. He was sitting at a orchestal concert, an absolutely beatific look on his face.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: It's a slog, Jeff.
	2:42pm Cecile: OMG. Bobby Sherman! My first crush.
	2:43pm Cecile: you gotta love the pop banjo.
	2:43pm Lane Steelpicker: The Ames Brothers ain't bad.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I suspect that this is a re-record.
	2:43pm hank: my sister loved bobby
	2:44pm Dean: Could be wrong, but I think Meshuggah covered this tune.
	2:44pm Cecile: I even watched every episode of his TV show.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: That's wonderful, Dean. I'll look for that!
	🛒 2:45pm Brian in UK: Dud had a jazz trio that he played with all the way through. First bass played died in a car crash, second's girl friend left him for the drummer. He committed suicide. Crazy world. Enough.
	2:46pm Dean: [This making-shit-up stuff is pretty easy!]
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: hahahaha
	2:47pm Cecile: I have to take a break to hear Rotary doing "tales". Also, Trouble does a great version of this.
	2:47pm Cecile: not Trouble the DJ. Trouble the doom band.
	2:48pm Dean: We do our best not to trouble the DJ.
	2:48pm Lane Steelpicker: I always confuse Della Reese and Della Street.
	🛒 2:50pm Brian in UK: Killin' it, Uncle. Just got the swag today, got a car drive tomorrow, so your premium and some others will make the journey shorter. Have you heard Bunny Wailer's Conqueror?
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: I feel like I'm watching a 80s Pakistani horror movie.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Probably but I'd have to agaiin to say "oh, yeah!"
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: I was pretty happy when my swag arrived too.
	2:55pm listener james from westwood: Must hit the kitchen for a few minutes. If my hands are too food-gloppy to type this later, thanks hugely for the fab Friday show!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for attending services today, James.
	2:56pm Jeff Golick: I just got Tony Coutler's swag CD. Can't wait to dig in. It is 100% virgin listening for me. As is typical of his weekly shows, too.
