Listener comments!
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: Mixmaster Baby in the hizzy! How do, UM and all!!
	12:01pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:01pm Guido from Cologne: I'm here!
	12:01pm βrian: Man, I'm feeling like a rooty poot today! Maybe the gravity's too high.
	12:01pm Doug Schulkind: Wang? Dang Do!
	12:03pm duke: Frankie Knuckles at an early age
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: My pleasures pleaded down to a lesser charge.
	12:04pm doctorjazz: I think I own the LP the baby's playing with! Did wonders for the sound!
	12:04pm Pedro G.: Hi Mike-- If you're still considering digging deeper into solo Westerberg, here's a fine one-track album with a funny backstory if you don't have it. Somewhat better sound quality is probably another click away. www.youtube.com...
	🛒 12:04pm Brian in UK: This is where it's at www.youtube.com...
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: JAMESBOBGUIDOBRIANDOUGDUKEDOCTORPEDROBRIAN!
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: So happy you're all present.
	12:07pm Guido from Cologne: were The Les Humphries Singers a houshold name in the US or just in Continetal Europe?
	12:08pm Doug Schulkind: There's a great drummer out of Detroit named Lex Humphries.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: I'll check that link later, Pedro. Thanks.
	12:09pm pacific standard simon: HERE!
	12:09pm listener james from westwood: I want to check my mailbox, but I don't want to leave the range of my speakers!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: SIMON! Crank it James!
	12:10pm Guido from Cologne: Les Humphries is a British guy, former military musician ... that#s what made him become a part of the German scene (mainly Hamburg). He played with Achim Reichel in Wonderland Band.
	12:10pm Lewis: Is the budding DJ's garb held together with duct tape?
	12:10pm bobdoesthings: good afternooon
	12:12pm Parq: Guido, I can report only that I was never familiar with him, or them. I realize that doesn't settle the question for sure.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: LEWISBOBPARQ!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Les Humphries was a big nobody stateside.
	12:14pm Dean: Doug, Here are the details about "I Gave a Little and Lost a Lot" c/o Library of Congress Copyright Office. See the middle column, second entry from the bottom: http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015085477688?urlappend=%3Bseq=677
	12:14pm Guido from Cologne: Les Humphries Singers: en.wikipedia.org... ... biggest international charting production from Germany only topped by james last. Call it pseudo-gospel-hippie-pop ...
	12:15pm Alex In Illinois: The Meramec river! I used to canoe down that river all the time!
	12:15pm Guido from Cologne: ... charting at the time ... must be added.
	12:16pm Dean: "w & m, Dave Loggins"
	12:16pm Alex In Illinois: I actually did not know that the Dillards are from Salem, Missouri! For some reason, I thought they were from Kentucky or Tennessee.
	12:17pm Mike East: whoa - haunting version of the letter. cool
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Did you know Gene Clark came from Leavenworth, Kansas?
	12:18pm ndbob: nope UM - wow
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: ALEXDEANMIKE!
	12:18pm pacific standard simon: Uncle Michael -- did you accidently take the Alka Seltzer PM instead of AM?
	12:19pm Guido from Cologne: this letter version is awesome!
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Why do you ask?
	🛒 12:19pm Brian in UK: Phasing Oh yes. Must be '68
	12:20pm pacific standard simon: Sleepytime music.
	12:20pm Mike East: Tio Miguel!
	12:20pm Guido from Cologne: '68 - depends on. Krautrock had phasing as major feature 'till 1975. ;-)
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: I thought I was hittin' it outta the park, Simon. No?
	12:23pm Guido from Cologne: Some David Essex is surprisingly weird to my ears. Love his first album. Isn't that the Mcdaniels "mama keep Your Big Mouth Shut"-riff?
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: Didn't say it was bad. Just mellow.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: I'm mellow to my soul, like jelly roll.
	12:25pm Stanley: Uncle Michael! You bring happiness to this tortured soul. Even David Essex sounds good on your show!
	12:25pm efd: @Guido, I also thought the beginning of that David Essex song sounded like "Keep Your Big Mouth Shut," and I was hoping that maybe it would be a version of that song that was hummed, not sung, which would have been very clever of course.
	12:27pm Mike East: less than predicted snowfall will never disappoint me.
	12:28pm pacific standard simon: I'm beginning to think there won't be any more snow here this season. Unseasonably warm.
	12:29pm ndbob: predictions are for 4-8 inches here on Sunday - first real snow of the year
	12:30pm pacific standard simon: Hey, we lost Rod McKuen. 81 YO.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: STANLEYEVANLURKERS!
	12:37pm Slater: I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: SLATERSAN!
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: exotica march
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: We're expecting! (6-10 inches on Sunday)
	12:43pm Doug Schulkind: I gotta buy some dog food. (I know you get that excuse all the time, Uncle Michael.) Back soon!
	12:44pm northguineahills: I actually have a Korla Pandit (live) LP somewhere. Groovy stuff.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: woof
	12:50pm Stevel: Enlarging the pantheon: The Uncle Michael story.
	12:51pm ndbob: I remember seeing Korla on TV - I had completely forgotten about him until I started listening to exotica a few years ago
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Was he all that and a bag of chips, Bob?
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Billy Cobham, Leland Sklar, Tommy Bolin and Jan Hammer.
	1:01pm Stanley: mmmm....bag of chips. Good idea, back soon.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: "crisps"
	1:04pm Stevel: I've seen Adrian Belew a few times, offering clinics and short concerts at Sweetwater sound. He works the Frip-looping stuff on computers today (and quite well, I should say.) but he also explained how 'simple' some of the stuff was, if not mathematically-neurotic. Steady but different patterns of notes, interweaving. Whew. Easier to listen to!
	1:05pm Stevel: Fripp
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: It's definitely math-nerdy, yet engaging.
	1:06pm northguineahills: Never have heard of this duo.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: NGH, the album is probably properly credited to just Claude...depending on the source and which issue of it, it varies.
	1:09pm Guido from Cologne: This is library music ... according to Sonoton label, a classic library label, tons of albums in the radio stations, never on the consumer market
	1:09pm βrian: Ah, post-prandial music. We approve!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: I kinda thought it was library music, Guido. Thanks for the conformation.
	1:11pm Guido from Cologne: Sonoton: www.discogs.com...
	1:12pm Stevel: Re. math-nerd-music. One song on that '81 KC album is basically two guitarists starting out with the same 13 (making this up)-note sequence, with one dropping back a beat, weaving it together until the two lines re-engage. Now I'm tired.
	1:12pm northguineahills: Thanks Guido.
	1:16pm βrian: I'm in a library right now.
	1:18pm Stevel: Unpronouncability?
	1:19pm Guido from Cologne: that Chapa Mamba song seemed like a cover version of something I just fuzzily remember to me. I might be wrong.
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: @βrian Is Bette Midler there?
	1:20pm βrian: She may be squirreled away in the stacks. Dunno.
	1:20pm Alex In Illinois: Alright, a song that correctly uses the subjunctive!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: woo!
	1:22pm Guido from Cologne: cleverly ripping off tome musical motives from Bonnie Dobson's "Morning Dew".
	1:25pm Guido from Cologne: ... some musical motives ... not "tome" ... I refer to Richard Twice.
	1:26pm Guido from Cologne: ... Uuuuh ... I'm still desperately looking for this Aussie-garage comp. ... killer record!
	1:26pm ndbob: @UM It's funny how that happened - I just had a vague recollection of something from daytime TV - that at the time I found kind of creepy - sorry for the delayed response
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: It was probably pretty creepy!
	1:29pm tikk: Is this the Tomorrow Never Knows remix?
	1:30pm Roberto: Powering through the tech issues...this song is worth it.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Thank, Roberto.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: I suspect you're onto something tikk.
	1:33pm Dean: You could play this song all day long, punctuated with other Raspberries tunes if you must, and I'd be a happy person.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: I hear you, Dean.
	1:35pm βrian: I give my kitty raspberries.
	1:35pm Guido from Cologne: ... well ... the stereo-version of Tomorrow's "Revolution" is quite in the style of that accidential Marmalade re-treatment.
	1:41pm Alex In Illinois: I think Uncle Michael once played a song that was a response to this one.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Did I?
	1:43pm Alex In Illinois: It was either you or Doug
	1:44pm PMD: Jose Feliciano sounds like Rodriguez or vice versa
	1:45pm Alex In Illinois: It is a woman singing about putting on some kind of comfy house slippers and other comfortable close and staying in for the night.
	1:45pm Alex In Illinois: I meant "clothes" not "close"
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I remember that song now.
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Spazz has you covered: blog.wfmu.org...
	1:54pm Guido from Cologne: This Who CD was worth it's money. More bonus tracks then original album.
	2:04pm Jeff "Left Eye" Golick: Not too late to stop (in) now, right?
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Never too late, for you. Show a little TLC, Jeff.
	2:05pm Roberto: Swampppppp!!!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Grab something solid.
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: Rammstein! Mein Gott!
	2:17pm bobdoesthings: haha great transition.. rammstein!
	2:18pm Stevel: RAMMSTEIN!! www.youtube.com...
	2:18pm Slater: jawohl!
	2:18pm Stevel: What a great freaking album.
	2:19pm Guido from Cologne: In case you want to know, this is a phonetic pun: - you've got me - you hate me
	2:19pm Stevel: Thanks Guido! I know I'm missing a lot when I listen to Rammstein, but it doesn't keep me from loving it.
	2:20pm Guido from Cologne: ... and : - you've asked me (If I want to merry you) - and I said nothing
	2:22pm bobdohttp://www.wfmu.org/Gfx/comment_down_esthing: @UM - I believe Guido prefers the pronunciation "Ghee-Dough"
	2:23pm Guido from Cologne: Sehnsucht = Desire
	2:23pm Slater: Sehnsucht German noun translated as "longing", "yearning", or "craving",or in a wider sense a type of "intensely missing"
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Like me...between Fridays.
	2:25pm bobdoesthings: whoa.. why'd my avatarname show up like that?!!?
	2:26pm Guido from Cologne: Rammstein, the name is a pun itself. The Ramstein (one "m") US-Military Base, synonym for a horrible flight show accident: en.wikipedia.org... and something like battering ram
	2:27pm Guido from Cologne: The English pronounciation of my first name is closer to the Italian original and actually better! ;-)
	2:29pm bobdoesthings: @guido - Oh hah okay then. I blame Ken for making me think that.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: I'm not about to start pronouncing anything properly at this late date.
	2:31pm Guido from Cologne: oh poor Ken, is now concerned about pronounciation ... ... i never was complaining, just hoping to help somehow.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: The unifying theme of this set is the lack of anything unifying.
	2:32pm Slater: whoa, Iha and Hanson?
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Oui'
	2:33pm Guido from Cologne: you should hear me talking English ... so far about pronounciation.
	2:33pm bobdoesthings: heheheh
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Slater...Bun E. Carlos and Adam Schlessinger, too.
	2:35pm βrian: "Tony Alien." I read.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: He's out of this world.
	2:44pm Guido from Cologne: You cannot go wrong with Fela's band.
	2:51pm Alex In Illinois: We had a High School radio station that got shut down, and this was our theme song. Did you hear the reference to a "transistor radio"? Pre-Walkman age.
	🛒 2:51pm Brian in UK: Kitchen calls. Forever and Ever, Uncle.
	2:52pm chromaphone: never knew Joe Jackson had a band with this name :)
	2:52pm Guido from Cologne: Me !
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Why shut down? See yam Brian...thanks!
	2:52pm Guido from Cologne: This was a highly entertaining show! See you again quite soon!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Ghee-Dough! Take care.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm Alex In Illinois: Because we were badly managed and could not keep the 72-hour per week minimum, and the school decided that it was not worthwhile to keep running.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: ah..that's a pity
	2:55pm Alex In Illinois: . . . but then there was college radio!
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: I refuse to say goodbye, in fact.
	2:56pm Jeff Golick: NOT glad all over it's over.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: schlong...gotta beat it
	2:57pm Alex In Illinois: Then there is this one radio station that was a college radio station that was so good that it survived the bankruptcy of the college itself. It refused to say goodbye! WFMU!
	2:57pm bobdoesthings: thanks uncle michael!
	2:58pm Guido from Cologne: Dave Clark never sounded so good ... never heard before ...
	2:58pm Alex In Illinois: Wait, are you not going to play a version of . . . oh, here it is.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: WFMU matriculated.
	3:00pm Stevel: Huzzah for great radio and great company. You are all very much appreciated at the end of a strange, busy but ultimately decent week. Thanks.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Always a pleasure to end the week with your show! Thanks, and be safe all!
	3:04pm tikk: THX UM!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: YW, everyone...and thanks to you as well.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 30, 2015

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.

	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Why do you ask?
	🛒 12:19pm Brian in UK: Phasing Oh yes. Must be '68
	12:20pm pacific standard simon: Sleepytime music.
	12:20pm Mike East: Tio Miguel!
	12:20pm Guido from Cologne: '68 - depends on. Krautrock had phasing as major feature 'till 1975. ;-)
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: I thought I was hittin' it outta the park, Simon. No?
	12:23pm Guido from Cologne: Some David Essex is surprisingly weird to my ears. Love his first album. Isn't that the Mcdaniels "mama keep Your Big Mouth Shut"-riff?
	12:23pm pacific standard simon: Didn't say it was bad. Just mellow.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: I'm mellow to my soul, like jelly roll.
	12:25pm Stanley: Uncle Michael! You bring happiness to this tortured soul. Even David Essex sounds good on your show!
	12:25pm efd: @Guido, I also thought the beginning of that David Essex song sounded like "Keep Your Big Mouth Shut," and I was hoping that maybe it would be a version of that song that was hummed, not sung, which would have been very clever of course.
	12:27pm Mike East: less than predicted snowfall will never disappoint me.
	12:28pm pacific standard simon: I'm beginning to think there won't be any more snow here this season. Unseasonably warm.
	12:29pm ndbob: predictions are for 4-8 inches here on Sunday - first real snow of the year
	12:30pm pacific standard simon: Hey, we lost Rod McKuen. 81 YO.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: STANLEYEVANLURKERS!
	12:37pm Slater: I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: SLATERSAN!
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: exotica march
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: We're expecting! (6-10 inches on Sunday)
	12:43pm Doug Schulkind: I gotta buy some dog food. (I know you get that excuse all the time, Uncle Michael.) Back soon!
	12:44pm northguineahills: I actually have a Korla Pandit (live) LP somewhere. Groovy stuff.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: woof
	12:50pm Stevel: Enlarging the pantheon: The Uncle Michael story.
	12:51pm ndbob: I remember seeing Korla on TV - I had completely forgotten about him until I started listening to exotica a few years ago
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Was he all that and a bag of chips, Bob?
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Billy Cobham, Leland Sklar, Tommy Bolin and Jan Hammer.
	1:01pm Stanley: mmmm....bag of chips. Good idea, back soon.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: "crisps"
	1:04pm Stevel: I've seen Adrian Belew a few times, offering clinics and short concerts at Sweetwater sound. He works the Frip-looping stuff on computers today (and quite well, I should say.) but he also explained how 'simple' some of the stuff was, if not mathematically-neurotic. Steady but different patterns of notes, interweaving. Whew. Easier to listen to!
	1:05pm Stevel: Fripp
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: It's definitely math-nerdy, yet engaging.
	1:06pm northguineahills: Never have heard of this duo.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: NGH, the album is probably properly credited to just Claude...depending on the source and which issue of it, it varies.
	1:09pm Guido from Cologne: This is library music ... according to Sonoton label, a classic library label, tons of albums in the radio stations, never on the consumer market
	1:09pm βrian: Ah, post-prandial music. We approve!
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: I kinda thought it was library music, Guido. Thanks for the conformation.
	1:11pm Guido from Cologne: Sonoton: www.discogs.com...
	1:12pm Stevel: Re. math-nerd-music. One song on that '81 KC album is basically two guitarists starting out with the same 13 (making this up)-note sequence, with one dropping back a beat, weaving it together until the two lines re-engage. Now I'm tired.
	1:12pm northguineahills: Thanks Guido.
	1:16pm βrian: I'm in a library right now.
	1:18pm Stevel: Unpronouncability?
	1:19pm Guido from Cologne: that Chapa Mamba song seemed like a cover version of something I just fuzzily remember to me. I might be wrong.
	🛒 1:19pm Brian in UK: @βrian Is Bette Midler there?
	1:20pm βrian: She may be squirreled away in the stacks. Dunno.
	1:20pm Alex In Illinois: Alright, a song that correctly uses the subjunctive!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: woo!
	1:22pm Guido from Cologne: cleverly ripping off tome musical motives from Bonnie Dobson's "Morning Dew".
	1:25pm Guido from Cologne: ... some musical motives ... not "tome" ... I refer to Richard Twice.
	1:26pm Guido from Cologne: ... Uuuuh ... I'm still desperately looking for this Aussie-garage comp. ... killer record!
	1:26pm ndbob: @UM It's funny how that happened - I just had a vague recollection of something from daytime TV - that at the time I found kind of creepy - sorry for the delayed response
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: It was probably pretty creepy!
	1:29pm tikk: Is this the Tomorrow Never Knows remix?
	1:30pm Roberto: Powering through the tech issues...this song is worth it.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Thank, Roberto.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: I suspect you're onto something tikk.
	1:33pm Dean: You could play this song all day long, punctuated with other Raspberries tunes if you must, and I'd be a happy person.
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: I hear you, Dean.
	1:35pm βrian: I give my kitty raspberries.
	1:35pm Guido from Cologne: ... well ... the stereo-version of Tomorrow's "Revolution" is quite in the style of that accidential Marmalade re-treatment.
	1:41pm Alex In Illinois: I think Uncle Michael once played a song that was a response to this one.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Did I?
	1:43pm Alex In Illinois: It was either you or Doug
	1:44pm PMD: Jose Feliciano sounds like Rodriguez or vice versa
	1:45pm Alex In Illinois: It is a woman singing about putting on some kind of comfy house slippers and other comfortable close and staying in for the night.
	1:45pm Alex In Illinois: I meant "clothes" not "close"
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I remember that song now.
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Spazz has you covered: blog.wfmu.org...
	1:54pm Guido from Cologne: This Who CD was worth it's money. More bonus tracks then original album.
	2:04pm Jeff "Left Eye" Golick: Not too late to stop (in) now, right?
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Never too late, for you. Show a little TLC, Jeff.
	2:05pm Roberto: Swampppppp!!!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Grab something solid.
	2:17pm listener james from westwood: Rammstein! Mein Gott!
	2:17pm bobdoesthings: haha great transition.. rammstein!
	2:18pm Stevel: RAMMSTEIN!! www.youtube.com...
	2:18pm Slater: jawohl!
	2:18pm Stevel: What a great freaking album.
	2:19pm Guido from Cologne: In case you want to know, this is a phonetic pun: - you've got me - you hate me
	2:19pm Stevel: Thanks Guido! I know I'm missing a lot when I listen to Rammstein, but it doesn't keep me from loving it.
	2:20pm Guido from Cologne: ... and : - you've asked me (If I want to merry you) - and I said nothing
	2:22pm bobdohttp://www.wfmu.org/Gfx/comment_down_esthing: @UM - I believe Guido prefers the pronunciation "Ghee-Dough"
	2:23pm Guido from Cologne: Sehnsucht = Desire
	2:23pm Slater: Sehnsucht German noun translated as "longing", "yearning", or "craving",or in a wider sense a type of "intensely missing"
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Like me...between Fridays.
	2:25pm bobdoesthings: whoa.. why'd my avatarname show up like that?!!?
	2:26pm Guido from Cologne: Rammstein, the name is a pun itself. The Ramstein (one "m") US-Military Base, synonym for a horrible flight show accident: en.wikipedia.org... and something like battering ram
	2:27pm Guido from Cologne: The English pronounciation of my first name is closer to the Italian original and actually better! ;-)
	2:29pm bobdoesthings: @guido - Oh hah okay then. I blame Ken for making me think that.
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: I'm not about to start pronouncing anything properly at this late date.
	2:31pm Guido from Cologne: oh poor Ken, is now concerned about pronounciation ... ... i never was complaining, just hoping to help somehow.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: The unifying theme of this set is the lack of anything unifying.
	2:32pm Slater: whoa, Iha and Hanson?
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Oui'
	2:33pm Guido from Cologne: you should hear me talking English ... so far about pronounciation.
	2:33pm bobdoesthings: heheheh
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Slater...Bun E. Carlos and Adam Schlessinger, too.
	2:35pm βrian: "Tony Alien." I read.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: He's out of this world.
	2:44pm Guido from Cologne: You cannot go wrong with Fela's band.
	2:51pm Alex In Illinois: We had a High School radio station that got shut down, and this was our theme song. Did you hear the reference to a "transistor radio"? Pre-Walkman age.
	🛒 2:51pm Brian in UK: Kitchen calls. Forever and Ever, Uncle.
	2:52pm chromaphone: never knew Joe Jackson had a band with this name :)
	2:52pm Guido from Cologne: Me !
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Why shut down? See yam Brian...thanks!
	2:52pm Guido from Cologne: This was a highly entertaining show! See you again quite soon!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Ghee-Dough! Take care.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm Alex In Illinois: Because we were badly managed and could not keep the 72-hour per week minimum, and the school decided that it was not worthwhile to keep running.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: ah..that's a pity
	2:55pm Alex In Illinois: . . . but then there was college radio!
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: I refuse to say goodbye, in fact.
	2:56pm Jeff Golick: NOT glad all over it's over.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: schlong...gotta beat it
	2:57pm Alex In Illinois: Then there is this one radio station that was a college radio station that was so good that it survived the bankruptcy of the college itself. It refused to say goodbye! WFMU!
	2:57pm bobdoesthings: thanks uncle michael!
	2:58pm Guido from Cologne: Dave Clark never sounded so good ... never heard before ...
	2:58pm Alex In Illinois: Wait, are you not going to play a version of . . . oh, here it is.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: WFMU matriculated.
	3:00pm Stevel: Huzzah for great radio and great company. You are all very much appreciated at the end of a strange, busy but ultimately decent week. Thanks.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Always a pleasure to end the week with your show! Thanks, and be safe all!
	3:04pm tikk: THX UM!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: YW, everyone...and thanks to you as well.
