Listener comments!
	11:59am still b/p: Ya know what motion pitcher that twitchboard's from?
	12:00pm βrian: Yo to balmy Topeka.
	12:00pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: My mom made that face now and again. Mostly my fault. Hey there, UM and all!!
	12:01pm Pedro G.: Reheat the coffee.
	12:02pm Gary: Yay!
	12:02pm βrian: What did "Hinky Dinky" mean originally?
	12:02pm duke: Can't stop that ringing in my ears.
	12:02pm Lizardner Dave: On my second cup and my head still feels like that gif.
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: You're the building? The plumbing? The electrical? Really?!
	12:03pm still b/p: DJ HVAC.
	12:04pm annie: present and accounted for, sir!!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I'm every doggone thing, Doug. Welcome, everyone! Hinky Dinky? hinkydinky.net HAVE FUN!
	12:06pm βrian: I can imagine what a hickey dickey is.
	12:06pm Parq: That gif pretty much sums up the modern Christmas holiday season. I'm guessing it may be intended that way.
	12:08pm Dean: "Beaucoups" is French for "hella."
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Beaucoups welcomes to you all.
	12:11pm tikk: Happy Friday UM. Red Five standing by.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I feel like Doug served up a tagine and I'm serving Twinkies for dessert.
	12:13pm efd: ooh, tuned in just in time!
	12:14pm Dean: I'd say this is more Kansas City 'cue.
	12:14pm βrian: A tagine filled with fried clams.
	12:14pm efd: actually, now that I've had a moment to look at the playlist, it appears I tuned in too late!
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: Put me down for a platter of that 'cue, plus a good local brew.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: BTO is always right on time.
	12:16pm still b/p: BTO puttin' out beaucoups BTUs.
	12:17pm Pedro G.: BTO and Ted Cruz. Both from Canada but only one should be permissible in the United States.
	12:17pm Dean: Guess who.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Who's next.
	12:19pm Parq: You realize,of course, I had to look up 'tagine'. And not twinkies, but mom's apple pie, I think.
	12:20pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Looking up 'tagine' isn't a bad thing!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Hey, V!
	12:20pm pacific standard simon: Goin' mobile with the WFMU phone app?
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: yes!
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: I've a debt to pay, Simon. (shh)
	12:22pm Dean: Who was first?
	12:22pm still b/p: Other songs with a "beep beep" in them...? Bad Girls - Donna Summer Beep Beep - The Playmates
	12:23pm Parq: Still b/p: Joe Cuba -- Bang Bang
	12:24pm pacific standard simon: I've been in Winter mode for almost a month.
	12:25pm efd: Pedantry alert: It's a solstice coming up, not an equinox.
	12:26pm Dean: "Fashion" - David Bowie
	🛒 12:27pm Brian in UK: Now give this Drummer some.
	12:27pm pacific standard simon: Yay Spirit!
	12:27pm still b/p: Drive My Car - Beatley-eatles
	12:27pm V Priceless: Spirit!! Woo!
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: Hey, that's not Shirley Manson!
	12:28pm Mike East: correction, efd, its the Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooul-stice.
	12:28pm Webhamster Henry: Beep Beep, here comes the satellite ! www.google.com...
	12:28pm pacific standard simon: You know, they really did sound sort of similar to Steve Miller....
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: OTOH, it does fill in that "where'd they get that sample?" question I asked when that one P!nk cut was on the tune box.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Well, technically there's always an equinox coming up.
	12:29pm pacific standard simon: There's a great Louis Prima "beeping satellite" song.
	🛒 12:29pm Brian in UK: I remember this cut on The Rock Machine Turns You On, possibly the best sampler EVER.
	12:29pm listener james from westwood: For the record, much preferring it in its Spirit-ual context.
	12:31pm still b/p: Ford dude sounds like Hef!
	12:31pm Dean: Santa Naughton, I'd like a Pinto for xmas. "Relative peace"? This guy hasn't met my relatives.
	12:32pm pacific standard simon: That's it -- look on the bright side of life! I saw a local production of Spamalot this week.
	12:33pm Pedro G.: I'm inspired.
	12:34pm Dean: I know, I know, 'tis the season and shit, but I fucking hate Ford.
	12:35pm Dean: This appeared on Beaucoups of Blue.
	12:37pm still b/p: Heard a Barry Manilow version of River this week. Didn't want to automatically dismiss it, but it was truly a vanilla production with arrangements and production all wrong. Choices folks make...hm.
	12:37pm Stevel: Just tuned in and saw the gif right when Joni said "fli-i-i-i-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii", which was humorous and entertaining. Full disclosure, I do like River.
	12:38pm chromaphone: lovin this Frisell album
	12:39pm chromaphone: Whoops I meant the latest album but this one is cool too
	12:39pm Mike East: @pss - that's awesome. I've wanted to see that. There was just a blurb in the NY'er about Eric Idle and his new production of a Life of Brian Bway adaptation. It recalled the same story I just watched in the George Harrison doc about how EMI pulled funding just as the film's production began and Harrison mortgaged his house to make it happen.
	12:39pm doctorjazz: Have to get this album, really cool version, had to stop what I'm doing.
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: Me: Is this Bill Frisell? Playlist: Why yes, yes it is. Me. Ah!
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Bill's "Guitars in the Space Age" ensemble plays a better version than this one in this set from last month: www.youtube.com...
	12:40pm pacific standard simon: If I ever see Bill Frisell down at the local market, I'm going to walk up to him and say, "Hey, I heard your song on the radio the other day!" That should give him a heart attack.
	🛒 12:44pm Brian in UK: Fried Clams
	12:44pm pacific standard simon: @Mike East - It's a fun show. Idle kept most of the movie in, while still managing to shoehorn in some new gags and a lot of song and dance. Plus, "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" yet again, so there's some more bucks in Eric's pockets.
	12:46pm βrian: Isn't that a day for pugilists?
	🛒 12:47pm Brian in UK: Charlie Drake
	12:48pm Dean: FMU played a Charlie Drake tune just this week (or late last week), the one produced by Peter Gabriel.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: "Charlie Drake" is the answer to most questions.
	12:48pm Doug Schulkind: I guess Terry Reid. Amirite?!?!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Uarite!
	12:50pm pacific standard simon: I've never been able to imagine Terry Reid doing anything very Zeppelin-ish -- which probably says a lot about Robert Plant's contribution to the band.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: I could probably find some Terry Reid that would make sense of that...but generally, I'm with you.
	12:52pm Pedro G.: At least with the downfall of the music industry, I don't have to keep buying different reissues of the same Costello albums, God Bless Mr. MacManus.
	12:53pm still b/p: To razz the authors of a column about a local issue, I sent this clip to a friend the other day, and I think, as the audience arrives, the character should be in the lobby of any theater where Life of Brian is ever produced (camera moves to him in a few seconds): www.youtube.com...
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I thought the Internet solved that problem, Pedro.
	12:55pm pacific standard simon: Show us your rollerskates, baby!
	12:56pm Flex: When the British Destroyer Sheffield was sunk in the Faulklands, the survivors were led to sing Bright Side of Life...
	12:56pm Pedro G.: I don't mind giving Mr. Costello money but the Rhino releases should last. Now I can pay him for the autobiography he's supposed to be writing.
	12:56pm Lane Steelpicker: We're Melanie and Maria Muldaur ever heard together?
	12:56pm annie: i had to run across the room to just say this: MELANIE!!!!
	12:56pm Lane Steelpicker: I'm thinking they're the same throat.
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: @Pedro that Auto will be in four volumes. Got you again. Think Dylan & Young.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Could be, Lane.
	12:58pm still b/p: Oh, dear. "In the 1980s, the Quaker Oats Company used a version of "What Have They Done to My Song Ma" in their commercials for Instant Oatmeal with the revised lyrics "Look what they've done to my oatmeal".
	12:59pm V Priceless: The Move do a stellar version of this too
	1:00pm annie: dammit i sat back down again, now i have to pry myself out of the comfy chair.
	1:00pm pacific standard simon: The Best of The Merseybeats is a revelation to any sharp-eared Elvis Costello fan.
	🛒 1:00pm Brian in UK: Roy Wood, Elvis Costello & Elton John, though I am not a big fan of any of them. They are all music fans which I find very endearing. You cannot say that about many musicians.
	1:03pm pacific standard simon: Pretty cool fake ZZ Top (before ZZ Top!) until it gets to the chorus.
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: Diggin' the "You're No Good" cover; as with many wonderful HDT selections, new to me.
	🛒 1:03pm Brian in UK: Switch is in time.
	1:04pm cement_dawg: FWIW: Pot Liquor had its beginning in 1969 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and played an intriguing mix of country, blues- and southern rock. They released three excellent albums between 1970 and 1973 and on more in 1979 before finally breaking up. Yet these godfathers of southern rock never got the recognition they deserved.
	1:05pm Alex In Illinois: I actually think this is the best version I have heard of "You're No good". In this one, the words are clearest.
	1:05pm still b/p: MUCH prefer it to Ronstadt version.
	1:07pm Roberto: No one is no Rik Mayall. Not even Rik Mayall anymore. :(
	1:08pm Roberto: I mean no one is any Rik Mayall anymore.
	1:08pm listener james from westwood: THANK YOU. I was saying "Cliff Wichard" a la Rick over here just now on hearing his name.
	1:08pm Pedro G.: @Brian in UK -- I really liked Chronicles so won't mind a sequel. As to Neil Young, author--read a bad review just last night and am not too interested. Costello's Rhino notes are superb and would probably equal a book if put together.
	1:08pm pacific standard simon: John Mayall, on the other hand, is still with us, yes?
	1:08pm Doug Schulkind: Cliff Richard and the Shadows became so popular in Thailand, it spawned a local rock genre called Wong Shadow: en.wikipedia.org... Oh, and kites aren't THAT much fun.
	1:09pm pacific standard simon: Kites and BB guns ARE that fun.
	1:10pm Stevel: Ahhhh, Sweet Gene Vincent. What a satisfying song.
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Most out of leftfield film cameo of the 90s: Ian Dury in the Stallone clanger "Judge Dredd."
	🛒 1:13pm Brian in UK: @Pedro The Neil Young is OK leaves spaces for followups. How much do you need to know about people who talk through their music. I am not sure. He statrted writing it as he dumped the booze & blow, so was a bit twitchy about his talent maintaining.
	1:13pm pacific standard simon: That whole first Dury album has stuck with me all these years.
	1:14pm Dean: ID&TB followed by GV&HBC. Best Christmas gift ever.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: Let's have some tea & toast, it's me that needs it most.
	1:16pm Dean: You're lucky there's no fairness doctrine, UM. Otherwise, you'd have to devote a show to red tunes.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: I'm lucky in so many ways.
	1:19pm johnk77: tip of the tam to @mikeeast for the podcast w/chrissie hynde where she chats about her own history as a fan
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: link, john?
	1:21pm listener james from westwood: This and the 2nd 70s comp Michael Shelley did will be traded like platinum bars after society collapses. Amazing.
	1:21pm johnk77: http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_556_-_chrissie_hynde
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, John. Home: some Aussies...can't find out squat about them.
	1:24pm pacific standard simon: If you hadn't already played Terry Reid, you could follow this song with his "Bang Bang", and Iggy's as well (different song).
	1:25pm northguineahills: Not to be confused w/ the 90s Tampa band, Home.
	1:25pm Mike East: cheers, JohnK77!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Squeeze, Nancy and Lee...
	1:27pm pacific standard simon: And Public Image, "Keep Banging The Door".
	1:27pm Dean: And after Iggy's, there's Jessie J/Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj's (also different song, very different).
	1:28pm drr: Hey, I was just listening to an old HDT, and I see it's on--first time listening live.
	1:31pm pacific standard simon: Let me know when you're planning a "technical difficulty" -- I need to get cleaned up for a noon optometrist appointment.
	1:33pm Stevel: B-sides/besides.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Hey, drr! Happy to have you in the studio audience!
	1:35pm annie: the russians are coming, the russians are coming... did they name the movie yet?
	1:35pm johnk77: tony orlando was nice the only time i met him at the most vegas crimestylee venue in the bay area at the time the late seventies
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: No one has, annie...and I don't know...but I don't think it's that one!
	1:37pm Dean: Got a Twilley thing going on.
	1:40pm annie: just googled it, some of the clips are shown... what a funny movie it was... no switchboard scene
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: There is/are a switchboard scene! But it's not this switchboard.
	1:42pm northguineahills: I played YLT's live version"Let's go Save Tony Orlando's House" last night, My wife, who's a big YLT fan, had no idea where the reference came from (The Simpsons), and who Tony Orlando is, so, we watched the episode and I directed her to Tony Orlando's wiki.
	1:42pm annie: oh, good, so i'm not going crazy. i did think there was one..
	1:45pm βrian: Vegetables with tofu. Happy belly. Happy ears.
	1:46pm johnk77: ian dury and don kirshner are dead tony orlando is alive
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I want some yummy stir fry. Hmmm...maybe tonight.
	1:46pm northguineahills: I did curry fried rice w/ veggies, habs, and homemade katsu-esque sauce.
	1:47pm johnk77: i never met ian dury:<
	1:48pm Dean: One of my college profs used to tour with The Lettermen. He looked the part.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Nice cardigan?
	1:50pm johnk77: antique @um 3 hours
	1:51pm Dean: It was more about the coif, the surgical precision of the part.
	1:52pm chromaphone: Speaking of Terry Reid... do you ever wonder if he sounds exactly like Stephen Stills, only sped up to 45 rpm?
	1:52pm johnk77: this victor product perhaps cleaned up in postproduction? amazingly nice selecting @um
	1:53pm listener james from westwood: Take that era's music over 100% of what's on current Top 40 radio, no joke.
	1:54pm chromaphone: LOL
	1:54pm Roberto: They had music in 1916?
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Yester me, yester you, yester day...
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Jerry Yester Burma Shave.
	1:56pm βrian: @NGH: Habs = Habaneros?
	1:57pm Guido from Cologne: they even had records in 1919 The flipside was introduced in 1904 by Odeon Label
	1:57pm βrian: President O made some Habaneros happy this week.
	1:58pm pacific standard simon: Oh dear.
	1:59pm johnk77: @guido thank you peace+respect
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: I want Montreal Canadiens in my curry fried rice.
	1:59pm Dean: This Beatles cover makes me want to turn back the universe.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: I like it!
	2:00pm pacific standard simon: Jai guru deva!
	2:01pm βrian: Beatles? I thought it was the Circle Jerks.
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Fake Roger Miller on the way...
	2:02pm Guido from Cologne: any habaneras on the program? is there a George John Fizgerald if there is a Harrison Kennedy? (I'm trying to be silly.)
	2:02pm johnk77: that recipe earlier did make me flash on hockey
	2:03pm still b/p: Dig the music, just starred this, but I always think "Benny the jerk."
	2:03pm listener james from westwood: I've got jalapeños in the fridge, but no habañeros.
	2:03pm βrian: Hey, Editor James, no tilde on the "n."
	2:04pm johnk77: jfk assassination discussed on daveTspazz comments
	2:04pm listener james from westwood: Which one?
	2:05pm Guido from Cologne: is there a famous quote like "Ich bin ein HJamburger"? (You must know in Germany Berliner and hamburger are for eating.)
	2:05pm βrian: Habaneros.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: Ah, the habaneros. Muchas gracias!
	2:06pm johnk77: ich bin ein jfkburger?
	2:06pm βrian: Aren't niggling details fun!
	2:06pm still b/p: Nixing the tilde, nixing the tilde, Brian goes a 'nixing the tilde for free
	2:07pm βrian: Now, where's that Southern Cross?
	2:08pm Artie Haywire: Tildes give me sueño.
	2:08pm northguineahills: yep, Brian, Habs=habaneros. My last crop of jalapenos should be ready tomorrow. (brought my jalapenos inside last month.)
	2:12pm Jeff Golick: <<< Bye Bye Birdie Hi hi, Hinky Dinks!
	2:13pm Jeff Golick: [www.youtube.com...
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: YES! GAWD! THANK YOU!
	2:14pm Guido from Cologne: great song! Oh yeah rubble ... sometimes horrible pop schlock ... but gems like these ...
	2:16pm Guido from Cologne: must say have them all ... exept one ..
	2:16pm chromaphone: Have you heard Duke Levine's recording of Flying? It is pretty awesome.
	2:17pm chromaphone: www.rhapsody.com...
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: Hey Guido. Los Bravos Spanish group with a German singer?
	2:21pm listener james from westwood: Young Uncle Michael already had fine taste in records.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: I think Rubble has a decent batting average, but yeah...but then, I like schlock. I think this is a dreaded re-record.
	2:22pm Guido from Cologne: German singer? New to me. There is a Spanish version of the song by the group.
	2:24pm Guido from Cologne: Yes Brian, you are right! Richard Kogel is german!
	2:24pm chromaphone: Does anyone here know how to find out of print children's records from the 60s and 70s? There are a few records that I really wanna find but have gotten nowhere; even during a very slow period at work with access to the internet :(
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Discogs?
	2:25pm Guido from Cologne: I even own the single "Mausi Müller" by Michael Kogel's preceding band "Michael & The Firebirds"
	2:26pm Guido from Cologne: There were quite a few English, Dutch and German bands making good money in Spain.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: A classic.
	2:26pm chromaphone: HOly (*#&!!!! There it is! Thank you Unkie!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Srsly?
	2:27pm Guido from Cologne: GREAT !
	2:28pm chromaphone: Yes!!!!!!! This is one of the ones that I have been dying to find: www.discogs.com...
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: @chromaphone - There was an internet children's record (40s & 50s) posting project a few years ago. I downloaded and saved many of them.
	2:30pm pacific standard simon: Also, try the Internet Archive. archive.org
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: I don't see any copies of that listed for sale, though.
	2:31pm Guido from Cologne: Black Is Black: produced in London by Ivor Raymonde (of Dusty Springfield etc etc fame) and with the exeption of Michael Kogel only english session men playing on it (among the Jimmy Page) ... so far.
	2:31pm chromaphone: Simon - I really want stuff from my childhood which was early 70s. Yea, at least I know what that one was called. I was getting absoulutely nowhere for a few years. Now I gotta find a copy of it that I can hear.
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: There's the technical difficulty that I was hoping for. Sadly, I'm already out of the shower.
	🛒 2:33pm Brian in UK: @Guido Ivor Raymonde is the dad of Simon Raymonde of Coccteau Twins and owner of Bella Union records.
	2:34pm Jeff Golick: This is a pretty great early 70s children's record: www.discogs.com...
	🛒 2:34pm Brian in UK: Information overload. To the kitchen. Great mix, Uncle.
	2:34pm βrian: That's a sage pop that drummer has.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: technical difficulty??
	2:35pm Guido from Cologne: Yes Brian, that was a surprise to her whern Meghan interviewed Simon Raymonde. I consider him one of the great 60ies master arrangers ... his versions were so colorful and bombastic ... eclipsing the originals.
	2:36pm chromaphone: Just found another one I have been remembering. and this one I can buy! thanks again
	🛒 2:36pm Brian in UK: @Guido. Norrie Paramour is of that time too. Cliff's arranger.
	2:36pm pacific standard simon: The stream (or my cable connection) was cutting out a lot.
	2:38pm Dominick: 128k stream solid here
	🛒 2:40pm Brian in UK: Can you remember the first time you heard this song?
	2:42pm chromaphone: I have been digitizing this lp for my father-inlaw (almost 80 tracks, ugh): www.amazon.com... It is quite good. Doesn't appear in Discogs for some reason
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: I remember that it was at the aforementioned boarding school. I saw Steely Dan shortly after...my first concert.
	2:42pm pacific standard simon: OK, I need to get going now. Thanks for another grooovy show, Uncle. Next week!
	2:42pm Alex In Illinois: Before the term "mash-up" was around, I think I heard a mash-up of this and Billie Jean. Did anyone ever hear anything like that?
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: YW, Simon! Be careful out there.
	2:42pm cement_dawg: 3rd grade. a pretty good year
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	2:43pm listener james from westwood: I was a 1969 birth, so for all I remember in a house where the TV was on more often than the radio, it's always existed. I've always dug it. Even when Ken Freedman plays it at slow speed.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I want you all to listen to the next track with an open mind.
	2:43pm Mike East: Fagan came in here once to see if our studios would be suitable for his rehearsal needs....they weren't.
	2:43pm βrian: Oh dear.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: We can get through this, Brian...together. Be brave.
	2:44pm chromaphone: Pretty sure I heard this in the backseat of Mom's car
	2:45pm chromaphone: I remember not liking Fagan's voice and then one day Peg came on and I got blissed out.
	2:45pm Mike East: I'm gonna say back seat of my friend's dad's car
	2:46pm cement_dawg: ack
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Lou Rawls can do no wrong.
	2:47pm βrian: Nice band.
	2:47pm Dominick: Lou's is rockin' it
	2:49pm βrian: I wonder if Bill Withers ever did Christmas music.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Hmmm... Does "Better Off Dead" count?
	2:50pm Alex In Illinois: He sang: "I have no gift for him". A live Lou Rawls performance is definitely a gift! That was one of the better versions of that song. More artists should take chances with that song to make it interesting like that.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: That's the best version I know.
	2:54pm listener james from westwood: For my money, way ahead of the Bowie/Crosby version. I may lack the gene that disposes one to react favorably to that version.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Because it's lame?
	2:55pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: It would be funny if Gov't Mule would do a cover of "Government Cheese." Not hysterically funny, but slap your knee funny.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Bob. I have one more thing on my mind.
	2:56pm Stevel: Bravo, clap-clap, you get the idea. Great show.
	2:57pm chromaphone: clap clap clap
	2:57pm still b/p: The Bowie/Crosby version appeal is partly just that it happened at all. But long after the novelty's gone, just the familiarity of it and it's place in the season's musical script is OK.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone. It's been an honor.
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Wheee! Thanks, UM.
	2:58pm Roberto: Did y'all catch Irwin playing the Move version of this last Wednesday? He didn't really realize there was more than one version. Lolz
	2:58pm βrian: Ah, they'll never clone Dolly. That's for sure.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: I've played the Move version.
	2:59pm Mike East: Thanks Uncle Michael. Have a splendid weekend and holiday. See you on Boxing Day.
	2:59pm Roberto: Yes, and a fine version it is.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: A lot of Irwin's wetware hard drive space is taken up by Raymond Scott rarities. Splendiferous as always, Uncle Michael! A fine, mall-free weekend to all!
	3:01pm still b/p: ...And the backstory added a bit of interest recently in the PBS Crosby program. Bowie didn't care for Drummer Boy, so the music people with that Crosby Xmas show came up with the alt song and duet arrangement pretty quickly.
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you all. See you in a week!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 19, 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.

	12:02pm Lizardner Dave: On my second cup and my head still feels like that gif.
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: You're the building? The plumbing? The electrical? Really?!
	12:03pm still b/p: DJ HVAC.
	12:04pm annie: present and accounted for, sir!!
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: I'm every doggone thing, Doug. Welcome, everyone! Hinky Dinky? hinkydinky.net HAVE FUN!
	12:06pm βrian: I can imagine what a hickey dickey is.
	12:06pm Parq: That gif pretty much sums up the modern Christmas holiday season. I'm guessing it may be intended that way.
	12:08pm Dean: "Beaucoups" is French for "hella."
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Beaucoups welcomes to you all.
	12:11pm tikk: Happy Friday UM. Red Five standing by.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I feel like Doug served up a tagine and I'm serving Twinkies for dessert.
	12:13pm efd: ooh, tuned in just in time!
	12:14pm Dean: I'd say this is more Kansas City 'cue.
	12:14pm βrian: A tagine filled with fried clams.
	12:14pm efd: actually, now that I've had a moment to look at the playlist, it appears I tuned in too late!
	12:14pm listener james from westwood: Put me down for a platter of that 'cue, plus a good local brew.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: BTO is always right on time.
	12:16pm still b/p: BTO puttin' out beaucoups BTUs.
	12:17pm Pedro G.: BTO and Ted Cruz. Both from Canada but only one should be permissible in the United States.
	12:17pm Dean: Guess who.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Who's next.
	12:19pm Parq: You realize,of course, I had to look up 'tagine'. And not twinkies, but mom's apple pie, I think.
	12:20pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Looking up 'tagine' isn't a bad thing!
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Hey, V!
	12:20pm pacific standard simon: Goin' mobile with the WFMU phone app?
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: yes!
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: I've a debt to pay, Simon. (shh)
	12:22pm Dean: Who was first?
	12:22pm still b/p: Other songs with a "beep beep" in them...? Bad Girls - Donna Summer Beep Beep - The Playmates
	12:23pm Parq: Still b/p: Joe Cuba -- Bang Bang
	12:24pm pacific standard simon: I've been in Winter mode for almost a month.
	12:25pm efd: Pedantry alert: It's a solstice coming up, not an equinox.
	12:26pm Dean: "Fashion" - David Bowie
	🛒 12:27pm Brian in UK: Now give this Drummer some.
	12:27pm pacific standard simon: Yay Spirit!
	12:27pm still b/p: Drive My Car - Beatley-eatles
	12:27pm V Priceless: Spirit!! Woo!
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: Hey, that's not Shirley Manson!
	12:28pm Mike East: correction, efd, its the Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooul-stice.
	12:28pm Webhamster Henry: Beep Beep, here comes the satellite ! www.google.com...
	12:28pm pacific standard simon: You know, they really did sound sort of similar to Steve Miller....
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: OTOH, it does fill in that "where'd they get that sample?" question I asked when that one P!nk cut was on the tune box.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Well, technically there's always an equinox coming up.
	12:29pm pacific standard simon: There's a great Louis Prima "beeping satellite" song.
	🛒 12:29pm Brian in UK: I remember this cut on The Rock Machine Turns You On, possibly the best sampler EVER.
	12:29pm listener james from westwood: For the record, much preferring it in its Spirit-ual context.
	12:31pm still b/p: Ford dude sounds like Hef!
	12:31pm Dean: Santa Naughton, I'd like a Pinto for xmas. "Relative peace"? This guy hasn't met my relatives.
	12:32pm pacific standard simon: That's it -- look on the bright side of life! I saw a local production of Spamalot this week.
	12:33pm Pedro G.: I'm inspired.
	12:34pm Dean: I know, I know, 'tis the season and shit, but I fucking hate Ford.
	12:35pm Dean: This appeared on Beaucoups of Blue.
	12:37pm still b/p: Heard a Barry Manilow version of River this week. Didn't want to automatically dismiss it, but it was truly a vanilla production with arrangements and production all wrong. Choices folks make...hm.
	12:37pm Stevel: Just tuned in and saw the gif right when Joni said "fli-i-i-i-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii", which was humorous and entertaining. Full disclosure, I do like River.
	12:38pm chromaphone: lovin this Frisell album
	12:39pm chromaphone: Whoops I meant the latest album but this one is cool too
	12:39pm Mike East: @pss - that's awesome. I've wanted to see that. There was just a blurb in the NY'er about Eric Idle and his new production of a Life of Brian Bway adaptation. It recalled the same story I just watched in the George Harrison doc about how EMI pulled funding just as the film's production began and Harrison mortgaged his house to make it happen.
	12:39pm doctorjazz: Have to get this album, really cool version, had to stop what I'm doing.
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: Me: Is this Bill Frisell? Playlist: Why yes, yes it is. Me. Ah!
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Bill's "Guitars in the Space Age" ensemble plays a better version than this one in this set from last month: www.youtube.com...
	12:40pm pacific standard simon: If I ever see Bill Frisell down at the local market, I'm going to walk up to him and say, "Hey, I heard your song on the radio the other day!" That should give him a heart attack.
	🛒 12:44pm Brian in UK: Fried Clams
	12:44pm pacific standard simon: @Mike East - It's a fun show. Idle kept most of the movie in, while still managing to shoehorn in some new gags and a lot of song and dance. Plus, "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" yet again, so there's some more bucks in Eric's pockets.
	12:46pm βrian: Isn't that a day for pugilists?
	🛒 12:47pm Brian in UK: Charlie Drake
	12:48pm Dean: FMU played a Charlie Drake tune just this week (or late last week), the one produced by Peter Gabriel.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: "Charlie Drake" is the answer to most questions.
	12:48pm Doug Schulkind: I guess Terry Reid. Amirite?!?!
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Uarite!
	12:50pm pacific standard simon: I've never been able to imagine Terry Reid doing anything very Zeppelin-ish -- which probably says a lot about Robert Plant's contribution to the band.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: I could probably find some Terry Reid that would make sense of that...but generally, I'm with you.
	12:52pm Pedro G.: At least with the downfall of the music industry, I don't have to keep buying different reissues of the same Costello albums, God Bless Mr. MacManus.
	12:53pm still b/p: To razz the authors of a column about a local issue, I sent this clip to a friend the other day, and I think, as the audience arrives, the character should be in the lobby of any theater where Life of Brian is ever produced (camera moves to him in a few seconds): www.youtube.com...
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: I thought the Internet solved that problem, Pedro.
	12:55pm pacific standard simon: Show us your rollerskates, baby!
	12:56pm Flex: When the British Destroyer Sheffield was sunk in the Faulklands, the survivors were led to sing Bright Side of Life...
	12:56pm Pedro G.: I don't mind giving Mr. Costello money but the Rhino releases should last. Now I can pay him for the autobiography he's supposed to be writing.
	12:56pm Lane Steelpicker: We're Melanie and Maria Muldaur ever heard together?
	12:56pm annie: i had to run across the room to just say this: MELANIE!!!!
	12:56pm Lane Steelpicker: I'm thinking they're the same throat.
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: @Pedro that Auto will be in four volumes. Got you again. Think Dylan & Young.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Could be, Lane.
	12:58pm still b/p: Oh, dear. "In the 1980s, the Quaker Oats Company used a version of "What Have They Done to My Song Ma" in their commercials for Instant Oatmeal with the revised lyrics "Look what they've done to my oatmeal".
	12:59pm V Priceless: The Move do a stellar version of this too
	1:00pm annie: dammit i sat back down again, now i have to pry myself out of the comfy chair.
	1:00pm pacific standard simon: The Best of The Merseybeats is a revelation to any sharp-eared Elvis Costello fan.
	🛒 1:00pm Brian in UK: Roy Wood, Elvis Costello & Elton John, though I am not a big fan of any of them. They are all music fans which I find very endearing. You cannot say that about many musicians.
	1:03pm pacific standard simon: Pretty cool fake ZZ Top (before ZZ Top!) until it gets to the chorus.
	1:03pm listener james from westwood: Diggin' the "You're No Good" cover; as with many wonderful HDT selections, new to me.
	🛒 1:03pm Brian in UK: Switch is in time.
	1:04pm cement_dawg: FWIW: Pot Liquor had its beginning in 1969 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and played an intriguing mix of country, blues- and southern rock. They released three excellent albums between 1970 and 1973 and on more in 1979 before finally breaking up. Yet these godfathers of southern rock never got the recognition they deserved.
	1:05pm Alex In Illinois: I actually think this is the best version I have heard of "You're No good". In this one, the words are clearest.
	1:05pm still b/p: MUCH prefer it to Ronstadt version.
	1:07pm Roberto: No one is no Rik Mayall. Not even Rik Mayall anymore. :(
	1:08pm Roberto: I mean no one is any Rik Mayall anymore.
	1:08pm listener james from westwood: THANK YOU. I was saying "Cliff Wichard" a la Rick over here just now on hearing his name.
	1:08pm Pedro G.: @Brian in UK -- I really liked Chronicles so won't mind a sequel. As to Neil Young, author--read a bad review just last night and am not too interested. Costello's Rhino notes are superb and would probably equal a book if put together.
	1:08pm pacific standard simon: John Mayall, on the other hand, is still with us, yes?
	1:08pm Doug Schulkind: Cliff Richard and the Shadows became so popular in Thailand, it spawned a local rock genre called Wong Shadow: en.wikipedia.org... Oh, and kites aren't THAT much fun.
	1:09pm pacific standard simon: Kites and BB guns ARE that fun.
	1:10pm Stevel: Ahhhh, Sweet Gene Vincent. What a satisfying song.
	1:12pm listener james from westwood: Most out of leftfield film cameo of the 90s: Ian Dury in the Stallone clanger "Judge Dredd."
	🛒 1:13pm Brian in UK: @Pedro The Neil Young is OK leaves spaces for followups. How much do you need to know about people who talk through their music. I am not sure. He statrted writing it as he dumped the booze & blow, so was a bit twitchy about his talent maintaining.
	1:13pm pacific standard simon: That whole first Dury album has stuck with me all these years.
	1:14pm Dean: ID&TB followed by GV&HBC. Best Christmas gift ever.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: Let's have some tea & toast, it's me that needs it most.
	1:16pm Dean: You're lucky there's no fairness doctrine, UM. Otherwise, you'd have to devote a show to red tunes.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: I'm lucky in so many ways.
	1:19pm johnk77: tip of the tam to @mikeeast for the podcast w/chrissie hynde where she chats about her own history as a fan
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: link, john?
	1:21pm listener james from westwood: This and the 2nd 70s comp Michael Shelley did will be traded like platinum bars after society collapses. Amazing.
	1:21pm johnk77: http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_556_-_chrissie_hynde
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, John. Home: some Aussies...can't find out squat about them.
	1:24pm pacific standard simon: If you hadn't already played Terry Reid, you could follow this song with his "Bang Bang", and Iggy's as well (different song).
	1:25pm northguineahills: Not to be confused w/ the 90s Tampa band, Home.
	1:25pm Mike East: cheers, JohnK77!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Squeeze, Nancy and Lee...
	1:27pm pacific standard simon: And Public Image, "Keep Banging The Door".
	1:27pm Dean: And after Iggy's, there's Jessie J/Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj's (also different song, very different).
	1:28pm drr: Hey, I was just listening to an old HDT, and I see it's on--first time listening live.
	1:31pm pacific standard simon: Let me know when you're planning a "technical difficulty" -- I need to get cleaned up for a noon optometrist appointment.
	1:33pm Stevel: B-sides/besides.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Hey, drr! Happy to have you in the studio audience!
	1:35pm annie: the russians are coming, the russians are coming... did they name the movie yet?
	1:35pm johnk77: tony orlando was nice the only time i met him at the most vegas crimestylee venue in the bay area at the time the late seventies
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: No one has, annie...and I don't know...but I don't think it's that one!
	1:37pm Dean: Got a Twilley thing going on.
	1:40pm annie: just googled it, some of the clips are shown... what a funny movie it was... no switchboard scene
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: There is/are a switchboard scene! But it's not this switchboard.
	1:42pm northguineahills: I played YLT's live version"Let's go Save Tony Orlando's House" last night, My wife, who's a big YLT fan, had no idea where the reference came from (The Simpsons), and who Tony Orlando is, so, we watched the episode and I directed her to Tony Orlando's wiki.
	1:42pm annie: oh, good, so i'm not going crazy. i did think there was one..
	1:45pm βrian: Vegetables with tofu. Happy belly. Happy ears.
	1:46pm johnk77: ian dury and don kirshner are dead tony orlando is alive
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I want some yummy stir fry. Hmmm...maybe tonight.
	1:46pm northguineahills: I did curry fried rice w/ veggies, habs, and homemade katsu-esque sauce.
	1:47pm johnk77: i never met ian dury:<
	1:48pm Dean: One of my college profs used to tour with The Lettermen. He looked the part.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Nice cardigan?
	1:50pm johnk77: antique @um 3 hours
	1:51pm Dean: It was more about the coif, the surgical precision of the part.
	1:52pm chromaphone: Speaking of Terry Reid... do you ever wonder if he sounds exactly like Stephen Stills, only sped up to 45 rpm?
	1:52pm johnk77: this victor product perhaps cleaned up in postproduction? amazingly nice selecting @um
	1:53pm listener james from westwood: Take that era's music over 100% of what's on current Top 40 radio, no joke.
	1:54pm chromaphone: LOL
	1:54pm Roberto: They had music in 1916?
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Yester me, yester you, yester day...
	1:55pm pacific standard simon: Jerry Yester Burma Shave.
	1:56pm βrian: @NGH: Habs = Habaneros?
	1:57pm Guido from Cologne: they even had records in 1919 The flipside was introduced in 1904 by Odeon Label
	1:57pm βrian: President O made some Habaneros happy this week.
	1:58pm pacific standard simon: Oh dear.
	1:59pm johnk77: @guido thank you peace+respect
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: I want Montreal Canadiens in my curry fried rice.
	1:59pm Dean: This Beatles cover makes me want to turn back the universe.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: I like it!
	2:00pm pacific standard simon: Jai guru deva!

	2:13pm Uncle Michael: YES! GAWD! THANK YOU!
	2:14pm Guido from Cologne: great song! Oh yeah rubble ... sometimes horrible pop schlock ... but gems like these ...
	2:16pm Guido from Cologne: must say have them all ... exept one ..
	2:16pm chromaphone: Have you heard Duke Levine's recording of Flying? It is pretty awesome.
	2:17pm chromaphone: www.rhapsody.com...
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: Hey Guido. Los Bravos Spanish group with a German singer?
	2:21pm listener james from westwood: Young Uncle Michael already had fine taste in records.
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: I think Rubble has a decent batting average, but yeah...but then, I like schlock. I think this is a dreaded re-record.
	2:22pm Guido from Cologne: German singer? New to me. There is a Spanish version of the song by the group.
	2:24pm Guido from Cologne: Yes Brian, you are right! Richard Kogel is german!
	2:24pm chromaphone: Does anyone here know how to find out of print children's records from the 60s and 70s? There are a few records that I really wanna find but have gotten nowhere; even during a very slow period at work with access to the internet :(
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Discogs?
	2:25pm Guido from Cologne: I even own the single "Mausi Müller" by Michael Kogel's preceding band "Michael & The Firebirds"
	2:26pm Guido from Cologne: There were quite a few English, Dutch and German bands making good money in Spain.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: A classic.
	2:26pm chromaphone: HOly (*#&!!!! There it is! Thank you Unkie!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Srsly?
	2:27pm Guido from Cologne: GREAT !
	2:28pm chromaphone: Yes!!!!!!! This is one of the ones that I have been dying to find: www.discogs.com...
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: @chromaphone - There was an internet children's record (40s & 50s) posting project a few years ago. I downloaded and saved many of them.
	2:30pm pacific standard simon: Also, try the Internet Archive. archive.org
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: I don't see any copies of that listed for sale, though.
	2:31pm Guido from Cologne: Black Is Black: produced in London by Ivor Raymonde (of Dusty Springfield etc etc fame) and with the exeption of Michael Kogel only english session men playing on it (among the Jimmy Page) ... so far.
	2:31pm chromaphone: Simon - I really want stuff from my childhood which was early 70s. Yea, at least I know what that one was called. I was getting absoulutely nowhere for a few years. Now I gotta find a copy of it that I can hear.
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: There's the technical difficulty that I was hoping for. Sadly, I'm already out of the shower.
	🛒 2:33pm Brian in UK: @Guido Ivor Raymonde is the dad of Simon Raymonde of Coccteau Twins and owner of Bella Union records.
	2:34pm Jeff Golick: This is a pretty great early 70s children's record: www.discogs.com...
	🛒 2:34pm Brian in UK: Information overload. To the kitchen. Great mix, Uncle.
	2:34pm βrian: That's a sage pop that drummer has.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: technical difficulty??
	2:35pm Guido from Cologne: Yes Brian, that was a surprise to her whern Meghan interviewed Simon Raymonde. I consider him one of the great 60ies master arrangers ... his versions were so colorful and bombastic ... eclipsing the originals.
	2:36pm chromaphone: Just found another one I have been remembering. and this one I can buy! thanks again
	🛒 2:36pm Brian in UK: @Guido. Norrie Paramour is of that time too. Cliff's arranger.
	2:36pm pacific standard simon: The stream (or my cable connection) was cutting out a lot.
	2:38pm Dominick: 128k stream solid here
	🛒 2:40pm Brian in UK: Can you remember the first time you heard this song?
	2:42pm chromaphone: I have been digitizing this lp for my father-inlaw (almost 80 tracks, ugh): www.amazon.com... It is quite good. Doesn't appear in Discogs for some reason
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: I remember that it was at the aforementioned boarding school. I saw Steely Dan shortly after...my first concert.
	2:42pm pacific standard simon: OK, I need to get going now. Thanks for another grooovy show, Uncle. Next week!
	2:42pm Alex In Illinois: Before the term "mash-up" was around, I think I heard a mash-up of this and Billie Jean. Did anyone ever hear anything like that?
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: YW, Simon! Be careful out there.
	2:42pm cement_dawg: 3rd grade. a pretty good year
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Yep.
	2:43pm listener james from westwood: I was a 1969 birth, so for all I remember in a house where the TV was on more often than the radio, it's always existed. I've always dug it. Even when Ken Freedman plays it at slow speed.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I want you all to listen to the next track with an open mind.
	2:43pm Mike East: Fagan came in here once to see if our studios would be suitable for his rehearsal needs....they weren't.
	2:43pm βrian: Oh dear.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: We can get through this, Brian...together. Be brave.
	2:44pm chromaphone: Pretty sure I heard this in the backseat of Mom's car
	2:45pm chromaphone: I remember not liking Fagan's voice and then one day Peg came on and I got blissed out.
	2:45pm Mike East: I'm gonna say back seat of my friend's dad's car
	2:46pm cement_dawg: ack
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Lou Rawls can do no wrong.
	2:47pm βrian: Nice band.
	2:47pm Dominick: Lou's is rockin' it
	2:49pm βrian: I wonder if Bill Withers ever did Christmas music.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Hmmm... Does "Better Off Dead" count?
	2:50pm Alex In Illinois: He sang: "I have no gift for him". A live Lou Rawls performance is definitely a gift! That was one of the better versions of that song. More artists should take chances with that song to make it interesting like that.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: That's the best version I know.
	2:54pm listener james from westwood: For my money, way ahead of the Bowie/Crosby version. I may lack the gene that disposes one to react favorably to that version.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Because it's lame?
	2:55pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: It would be funny if Gov't Mule would do a cover of "Government Cheese." Not hysterically funny, but slap your knee funny.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Bob. I have one more thing on my mind.
	2:56pm Stevel: Bravo, clap-clap, you get the idea. Great show.
	2:57pm chromaphone: clap clap clap
	2:57pm still b/p: The Bowie/Crosby version appeal is partly just that it happened at all. But long after the novelty's gone, just the familiarity of it and it's place in the season's musical script is OK.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone. It's been an honor.
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Wheee! Thanks, UM.
	2:58pm Roberto: Did y'all catch Irwin playing the Move version of this last Wednesday? He didn't really realize there was more than one version. Lolz
	2:58pm βrian: Ah, they'll never clone Dolly. That's for sure.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: I've played the Move version.
	2:59pm Mike East: Thanks Uncle Michael. Have a splendid weekend and holiday. See you on Boxing Day.
	2:59pm Roberto: Yes, and a fine version it is.
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: A lot of Irwin's wetware hard drive space is taken up by Raymond Scott rarities. Splendiferous as always, Uncle Michael! A fine, mall-free weekend to all!
	3:01pm still b/p: ...And the backstory added a bit of interest recently in the PBS Crosby program. Bowie didn't care for Drummer Boy, so the music people with that Crosby Xmas show came up with the alt song and duet arrangement pretty quickly.
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you all. See you in a week!
