Listener comments!
	11:28am kat330: @UM: Listening today, but digits will be busy with calculator digits transferred to forms, ooof. [Aside: What music's best to prepare taxes by?] Since I may not have another chance, thanks in advance for the sounds to come! Here are my and Philo's heartfelt weekend wishes for all: oivas.com...
	11:41am Uncle Michael: Thanks, Kat. My best to you two, as well.
	12:01pm ndbob: Thanks kat!
	12:02pm ndbob: Afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Don't tell me to not classify. I'm gonna classify!
	12:04pm Mike East: @kat330 - I almost always enjoy listening to world music or soul when doing my taxes, but I think that has to do with the fact that its usually on the weekends during Transpacific Sound Paradise and Gaylord Fields
	12:04pm still b/p: Stunning images from the Bungee Space Telescope.
	12:04pm Lane Steelpicker: It is hard to get to sleep with a chorkie attacking one's feet.
	12:04pm northguineahills: Hey, you used Vietnam last week for your international time zone time last week!
	12:05pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:05pm glenn: no more target mobbing in canada. they messed it up real good.

	12:07pm Lane Steelpicker: It's a good day for freezing your nads (12° in Keasbey NJ). Can't wait to get back home.
	12:07pm Flash Strap: G'day Unca Mike!
	12:08pm glenn: that's balmy. -33 celsius in toronto. [with windchill, but still]
	12:08pm duke: @kat I think Taxman by the Beatles should be on your playlist today
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Good MORNING, Flash.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: duke!
	12:08pm northguineahills: Love this Bill Frisell album... (originally to be used for a Far Side animation series that never got off the ground)
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: I have Bill Frisell tickets for about three weeks from now.
	12:11pm Flash Strap: I adore the Mills Brothers, man.
	12:11pm Slater: kisstory?
	12:12pm still b/p: Mills Brothers make me want to stand up, go to the window and shout, "I'm glad as hell, and I AM gonna shake it some more!"
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: If some of you don't know Flash, he's the FNG on Thursday nights, and his show is really great.
	12:12pm glenn: fucking new guy?
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I say that with love.
	12:13pm Flash Strap: Oh, I'm fuckin'
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: I was the FNG 21 months ago!
	12:16pm glenn: i sent you the link to the cicada thingy, mr. strap.
	12:17pm GeesyCreesy: oh man. I hope these song titles and choruses escalate to longer and longer named old-timey shows.
	12:17pm Mike East: jonesy?
	12:17pm efd: Confession: After hearing this song probably dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the past 40ish years I just noticed that the opening line is "hot August night."
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Hence...
	12:18pm Mike East: that's awesome, Evan
	12:18pm Parq: Killer Neil cut.
	12:19pm Lewis: Neil Diamond! Thanks again @UM!
	12:19pm V Priceless: great Kinks track!!
	12:19pm Parq: For some reason, the opening notes made me think that it was going to be "Philadelphia Freedom", which also would have been topical.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Welcome glenn, Geesy, Mike, Evan and Parq!
	12:20pm Flash Strap: I saw that Glenn! Thanks!
	12:22pm Lane Steelpicker: I prefer steam powered aeroplanes
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: YW, Lewis!
	12:24pm efd: I just always assumed that the album title Hot August Night referred to the time of the recording.
	12:25pm GeesyCreesy: Thanks for the warm welcome, Uncle Michael. Glad to be here.
	12:27pm Mike East: @efd - I definitely thought that as well for a few years....as we've determined here, I'm not a lyrics guy, either. It was somewhat recently that I had the same realization you just did.
	12:30pm efd: Glad I'm not the only one!
	12:36pm Webhamster Henry: My friend The Grape is a big fan and supporter of Brute Force.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I'd like this The Grape person.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: And hi, Hamster Hank.
	12:38pm ndbob: The Brute Force LP always sounded more like 80s music to me
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Well, that's when I first heard it.
	12:39pm Webhamster Henry: Grape was the guy who turned me on to WFMU back in the early Cretaceous period.
	12:42pm Parq: Nick! Best turn-it-up cut ever.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: The best one?!
	12:46pm Parq: Yeah, I think so. I realize it's a crowded field, and I don't like to pick one favorite anything, but I can't think of any other cut that makes me reach for the volume slider faster.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: That's pretty cool. I'm glad I played it!
	12:51pm glenn: ballroom blitz. sorry, parq.
	12:52pm Lewis: anhh the dulcet tones of Raymond Scott
	12:54pm Flash Strap: SUCH a good surf cut
	12:54pm glenn: pictures hank, bruce and jet "dancing", smiles.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: I wish I could picture that.
	1:01pm glenn: www.youtube.com...
	1:03pm Mike East: @glenn- I hope they got a good deal on those matching Baldwin guitars
	1:05pm glenn: i think the shadows were the first, and possibly the only, sponsored baldwin players.
	🛒 1:06pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. did you send the FNG out for some skyhooks?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Well, they probably didn't need to pay most players to use their legendary guitars.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Oh, I hope not. Flash, make sure they're left-handed skyhooks, ok?
	1:08pm tate: finally got online
	1:08pm northguineahills: Time for lunch, thanks again UM!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Welcome, Tate.
	1:09pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael! TZAG people!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: thanks for coming, NGH! Guido!
	1:10pm Flash Strap: I don't have a clue what you two are on about with these southpaw skyhooks
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Forgive me.
	1:19pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Back much sooner than I'd thought. Howdy, UM and all!!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: There are no hazing rituals allowed at GTDR.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: James!!
	1:23pm ndbob: wb james!
	1:25pm Guido from Cologne: Mono version? Much better!
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: This is in stereo. Disappointed?
	1:33pm V Priceless: @ Uncle M: thanks for continuing to kick sonic ass!
	1:38pm Guido from Cologne: it sounded mono to and much better than my LP. i might be wrong. never liked the stereo and allways wanted to re-mix it but never did.
	1:42pm efd: oh now you're talking.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Bible class is scary.
	1:43pm Flash Strap: my man Papathanassou
	1:44pm efd: I've been dying for someone to do this song during the marathon finale so I can play drums on it.
	1:44pm Guido from Cologne: my fave from 666
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Have you asked around?
	1:48pm efd: I tried to get Clay to do it - he could really do it justice vocally, I think! It sounded like he might do it a few years ago, but no dice.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: he lives for that shit. what the hell
	2:00pm βrian: Boo, Mon Oncle Michael.
	2:01pm Erella: Loving the show. Saying hello from wintery toronto.
	2:03pm βrian: Just had my pupils dilated, so I read that as 'Aphrodisiac's Child.'
	2:03pm Alex In Illinois: I have been crazy busy working today, but listening. The people who have caused me frustration today owe you and Doug a lot of gratitude for reducing my frustration to manageable levels.
	2:03pm chromaphone: If it wasn't for the snow I wouldn't be getting much exercise but $*#& is getting kind of crazy here in the Boston area. Next week should be pretty f-ed up.
	2:04pm Guido from Cologne: I'm just reading my new employment contract.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: Hi Brian, Erella, Alex and chromophone!
	2:04pm Erella: Jeesus this is one of the best songs ever! Love Todd Rundgren! I am appreciating him more and more these days.
	2:04pm βrian: I always knew it as "get you some women" ...
	2:05pm Guido from Cologne: Anyone some information what/who's idea put the car crash illustration to the centrefold of the 666-album art?
	2:07pm Guido from Cologne: ... relevation of John the casualty or something ...
	2:09pm chromaphone: Hi Unkie. these Fridays have been arriving so fast and furious for me. messing with my head. Cant believe another week has gone by
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: I've never seen the gatefold!
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: We get a Friday every seven days...hard to keep up!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I've done 91 of these things...89 of em on Friday.
	2:12pm Guido from Cologne: cdn.discogs.com...
	2:12pm chromaphone: Got one of those kids' records from my youth from Discogs. Good stuff. Thanks again for the suggestion.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: that link isn't working for me Guido
	2:15pm Guido from Cologne: www.coverdude.com...
	2:15pm Alex In Illinois: Do they still have Rock 'n Roll nurses anymore?
	2:17pm Alex In Illinois: I wonder how many pop or rock songs or jut plain songs in English have nurses as a subject? Idea for a compilation to make for friends and family in that profession.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Good idea. My youngest brother is a nurse.
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: Guido, I can't make sense of that picture, either.
	2:20pm Mike East: wait, this exists?
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: YES.
	2:21pm Erella: I would never have thought that Barbra had heard of Bowie. Go figure!
	2:21pm V Priceless: haven't heard this in a while
	2:22pm Lewis: Ok this is really weird….
	2:22pm Alex In Illinois: @Mike East, Erella, Lewis: Ditto!
	2:25pm johnk77: from Wikipedia In 1974, Barbra Streisand released a version of the song on her album ButterFly. In a 1976 Playboy interview, Bowie was asked what he thought of her cover: "Bloody awful. Sorry, Barb, but it was atrocious."
	2:26pm Erella: Johnk77, that is funny!
	2:26pm Alex In Illinois: YES! Streisand doing Life on Mars . . .What Uncle Michael said!
	2:28pm Alex In Illinois: Okay, Bowie's mood in 1976 . . . who knows what he was thinking.
	2:29pm efd: It's actually 3:58 in Newfoundland. #thatguy
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: #thatguy, indeed.
	2:30pm V Priceless: pretty safe to conclude Bowie was "thin white-lined" out of his mind in '76. That's still pretty funny though.
	2:30pm Erella: I live in Toronto. The first time I went to the Sony Centre was to hear Hunky Dory live. I was a teenager and was horrified at all the other people (not like me at all) there enjoying Bowie live. Many years later, in 1995, I was at the King Edward hotel with my young toddler doing a frankenstein walk, (as they do) at the Sunday brunch with some former work colleagues. (Incidentally this is the hotel where John and Yoko did the bed in). My 2 year old daughter walked face-first into Bowie's groin!! He picked her up, told me she was adorable. He laughed. He was a guest at that hotel. This weekend, I won tickets to go to that hotel and that brunch again with my child. Bowie has been on the mind all day.
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: That's a great story, Erella.
	🛒 2:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I had to tune in late but I'm glad I didn't miss this old stuff. I love it.
	2:33pm Erella: It is funny. My daughter is 21 now and lives on her own and loves Bowie and gets red in the face at the mention of the story. She and her honey are getting the hotel room that i won. It is funny how when you think of Bowie, he keeps on coming up.
	2:34pm Erella: Welcome Lizzie, I'm in reverie land. Loving the shuffling off to Buffalo now.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Hi Elizabeth! It's even older stuff than Rex features!
	2:36pm ndbob: Barbara's best LP is the one from her TV special "Barbara and Other Musical Instruments" which includes a track where she sings along with appliances
	2:37pm ndbob: very nice set here UM!
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to find that, Bob....and thanks!
	2:38pm Dean: Beautiful set. Throw in some Jane Green. Try "Mine, All Mine": http://www.jazzage1920s.com/janegreen/janegreen.php
	🛒 2:38pm Brian in UK: Loving the Freeform, Uncle. Erella, nice one, the memories are always just bubbling underneath.
	2:39pm Guido from Cologne: here is an older site telling the story of the 666-album. Included is the story of the cover. www.vangelislyrics.com... There is not so much meaning in the painting.
	2:39pm Webhamster Henry: I have a piano roll of "Doin' the Raccoon". It goes well with my roll of "Do The New York"!
	2:40pm ndbob: @UM There is a DVD of the TV special - great story Erella!
	2:42pm Jeff Golick: Why hello there!
	2:43pm chromaphone: Wow Jamaica "Plains" has such a nice ring to it than plain old Jamiaca Plain :)
	2:44pm chromaphone: nicer ring to it
	2:47pm tate: good show UM, gotta head out!
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Jeff!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Plaine is too plain. I promoted it.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Later, tate. Thanks.
	2:51pm chromaphone: It makes me think of plains of ganja overlooking turquoise waters, instead of apartment buildings nestled amongst the asphalt. Actually they have a kickass arboretum.
	2:51pm ndbob: This is a good candidate for the best Motown song
	2:51pm kat330: Wanted to post this link that came in email earlier this afternoon before the show was over: https://soundcloud.com/fatpossum/al-green-lets-get-married-vocals-only Still plugging in those numbers, aided by a UM soundtrack. Have a great weekend boys and girls! ♥
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: That's high praise, Bob. Thanks so much for hanging out today, everyone.
	2:52pm ndbob: @kat ty!
	2:52pm chromaphone: Speaking of Motown, have you checked out Carol Kaye's facebook page? That is def worth following IMO.
	2:53pm chromaphone: Thank yew UM
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: B-52s roots music.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Because Carol is insane?
	2:54pm Guido from Cologne: One of those incredible Morricone tracks ... ... i allways forget on which LP i have it.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm Lewis: OK - I am going to have to get more Morricone… (couldn't quite figure out how to work in a pun there…)
	2:54pm Alex In Illinois: I was just downstairs at the deli, and "Texas Toast" is printed on the end of a bag of bread. Whenever I hear the phrase: "Texas Toast" I think it is a euphemism for something like, I don't know, cow chips.
	2:54pm Jeff Golick: This is amazing.
	2:55pm chromaphone: lol. Actually she has a lot of interesting memories even if they are wrong.
	2:55pm Guido from Cologne: there were quotes from him about "repetetive composing techniques " ...
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Carol has become the Bernard Purdie of the bass guitar.
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: Ah, closing with the red-headed stranger. Song and singer always welcome.
	2:57pm V Priceless: cool show! Thanx, UM!
	2:57pm Alex In Illinois: Okay, now I feel like apologizing about my remark about "Texas toast", hearing Willie Nelson singing.
	2:58pm chromaphone: why? does he take credit for stuff he didn't do? They sure are both amazing players.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: The Red-Headed Strangler will get you for that, Alex.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: google Purdie's insanity. He played on Beatles records (not)
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: I thought Eddie Murphy was the fifth Beatle. Great show, Uncle Michael, as always. Thanks so much.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Bottom half was a treat; very much looking forward to the archive. Thanks, UM, and stay warm, all you US/winter folks!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Goodbye friends. It's always an honor.
	3:50pm Kelie "idiot" McIver: Hey Uncle Michael! So I saw the reminder that the show is today and thought "Oh! I'm finally home when it's happening and I can listen in real time!" Then discovered it's ET, so totally missed it! Still love them via the archives. Happy Valentine's Day!
	5:28pm Uncle Michael: Time zones are hard, Kelie! Thanks for listening, however you listen.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 13, 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.

[Aside: What music's best to prepare taxes by?] Since I may not have another chance, thanks in advance for the sounds to come! Here are my and Philo's heartfelt weekend wishes for all: oivas.com...
	11:41am Uncle Michael: Thanks, Kat. My best to you two, as well.
	12:01pm ndbob: Thanks kat!
	12:02pm ndbob: Afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Don't tell me to not classify. I'm gonna classify!
	12:04pm Mike East: @kat330 - I almost always enjoy listening to world music or soul when doing my taxes, but I think that has to do with the fact that its usually on the weekends during Transpacific Sound Paradise and Gaylord Fields
	12:04pm still b/p: Stunning images from the Bungee Space Telescope.
	12:04pm Lane Steelpicker: It is hard to get to sleep with a chorkie attacking one's feet.
	12:04pm northguineahills: Hey, you used Vietnam last week for your international time zone time last week!
	12:05pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:05pm glenn: no more target mobbing in canada. they messed it up real good.
	12:06pm bobdoesthings: good afternoon
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Hiyas, Bob, Doug, Mike, still b/p, Lane, V, glenn and another Bob!
	12:07pm Lane Steelpicker: It's a good day for freezing your nads (12° in Keasbey NJ). Can't wait to get back home.
	12:07pm Flash Strap: G'day Unca Mike!
	12:08pm glenn: that's balmy. -33 celsius in toronto. [with windchill, but still]
	12:08pm duke: @kat I think Taxman by the Beatles should be on your playlist today
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Good MORNING, Flash.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: duke!
	12:08pm northguineahills: Love this Bill Frisell album... (originally to be used for a Far Side animation series that never got off the ground)
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: I have Bill Frisell tickets for about three weeks from now.
	12:11pm Flash Strap: I adore the Mills Brothers, man.
	12:11pm Slater: kisstory?
	12:12pm still b/p: Mills Brothers make me want to stand up, go to the window and shout, "I'm glad as hell, and I AM gonna shake it some more!"
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: If some of you don't know Flash, he's the FNG on Thursday nights, and his show is really great.
	12:12pm glenn: fucking new guy?
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: I say that with love.
	12:13pm Flash Strap: Oh, I'm fuckin'
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: I was the FNG 21 months ago!
	12:16pm glenn: i sent you the link to the cicada thingy, mr. strap.
	12:17pm GeesyCreesy: oh man. I hope these song titles and choruses escalate to longer and longer named old-timey shows.
	12:17pm Mike East: jonesy?
	12:17pm efd: Confession: After hearing this song probably dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the past 40ish years I just noticed that the opening line is "hot August night."
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: Hence...
	12:18pm Mike East: that's awesome, Evan
	12:18pm Parq: Killer Neil cut.
	12:19pm Lewis: Neil Diamond! Thanks again @UM!
	12:19pm V Priceless: great Kinks track!!
	12:19pm Parq: For some reason, the opening notes made me think that it was going to be "Philadelphia Freedom", which also would have been topical.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Welcome glenn, Geesy, Mike, Evan and Parq!
	12:20pm Flash Strap: I saw that Glenn! Thanks!
	12:22pm Lane Steelpicker: I prefer steam powered aeroplanes
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: YW, Lewis!
	12:24pm efd: I just always assumed that the album title Hot August Night referred to the time of the recording.
	12:25pm GeesyCreesy: Thanks for the warm welcome, Uncle Michael. Glad to be here.
	12:27pm Mike East: @efd - I definitely thought that as well for a few years....as we've determined here, I'm not a lyrics guy, either. It was somewhat recently that I had the same realization you just did.
	12:30pm efd: Glad I'm not the only one!
	12:36pm Webhamster Henry: My friend The Grape is a big fan and supporter of Brute Force.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: I'd like this The Grape person.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: And hi, Hamster Hank.
	12:38pm ndbob: The Brute Force LP always sounded more like 80s music to me
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Well, that's when I first heard it.
	12:39pm Webhamster Henry: Grape was the guy who turned me on to WFMU back in the early Cretaceous period.
	12:42pm Parq: Nick! Best turn-it-up cut ever.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: The best one?!
	12:46pm Parq: Yeah, I think so. I realize it's a crowded field, and I don't like to pick one favorite anything, but I can't think of any other cut that makes me reach for the volume slider faster.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: That's pretty cool. I'm glad I played it!
	12:51pm glenn: ballroom blitz. sorry, parq.
	12:52pm Lewis: anhh the dulcet tones of Raymond Scott
	12:54pm Flash Strap: SUCH a good surf cut
	12:54pm glenn: pictures hank, bruce and jet "dancing", smiles.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: I wish I could picture that.
	1:01pm glenn: www.youtube.com...
	1:03pm Mike East: @glenn- I hope they got a good deal on those matching Baldwin guitars
	1:05pm glenn: i think the shadows were the first, and possibly the only, sponsored baldwin players.
	🛒 1:06pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. did you send the FNG out for some skyhooks?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Well, they probably didn't need to pay most players to use their legendary guitars.
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Oh, I hope not. Flash, make sure they're left-handed skyhooks, ok?
	1:08pm tate: finally got online
	1:08pm northguineahills: Time for lunch, thanks again UM!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Welcome, Tate.
	1:09pm Guido from Cologne: Hello Michael! TZAG people!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: thanks for coming, NGH! Guido!
	1:10pm Flash Strap: I don't have a clue what you two are on about with these southpaw skyhooks
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Forgive me.
	1:19pm listener james from westwood: w00t! Back much sooner than I'd thought. Howdy, UM and all!!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: There are no hazing rituals allowed at GTDR.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: James!!
	1:23pm ndbob: wb james!
	1:25pm Guido from Cologne: Mono version? Much better!
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: This is in stereo. Disappointed?
	1:33pm V Priceless: @ Uncle M: thanks for continuing to kick sonic ass!
	1:38pm Guido from Cologne: it sounded mono to and much better than my LP. i might be wrong. never liked the stereo and allways wanted to re-mix it but never did.
	1:42pm efd: oh now you're talking.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Bible class is scary.
	1:43pm Flash Strap: my man Papathanassou
	1:44pm efd: I've been dying for someone to do this song during the marathon finale so I can play drums on it.
	1:44pm Guido from Cologne: my fave from 666
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Have you asked around?
	1:48pm efd: I tried to get Clay to do it - he could really do it justice vocally, I think! It sounded like he might do it a few years ago, but no dice.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: he lives for that shit. what the hell
	2:00pm βrian: Boo, Mon Oncle Michael.
	2:01pm Erella: Loving the show. Saying hello from wintery toronto.
	2:03pm βrian: Just had my pupils dilated, so I read that as 'Aphrodisiac's Child.'
	2:03pm Alex In Illinois: I have been crazy busy working today, but listening. The people who have caused me frustration today owe you and Doug a lot of gratitude for reducing my frustration to manageable levels.
	2:03pm chromaphone: If it wasn't for the snow I wouldn't be getting much exercise but $*#& is getting kind of crazy here in the Boston area. Next week should be pretty f-ed up.
	2:04pm Guido from Cologne: I'm just reading my new employment contract.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: Hi Brian, Erella, Alex and chromophone!
	2:04pm Erella: Jeesus this is one of the best songs ever! Love Todd Rundgren! I am appreciating him more and more these days.
	2:04pm βrian: I always knew it as "get you some women" ...
	2:05pm Guido from Cologne: Anyone some information what/who's idea put the car crash illustration to the centrefold of the 666-album art?
	2:07pm Guido from Cologne: ... relevation of John the casualty or something ...
	2:09pm chromaphone: Hi Unkie. these Fridays have been arriving so fast and furious for me. messing with my head. Cant believe another week has gone by
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: I've never seen the gatefold!
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: We get a Friday every seven days...hard to keep up!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I've done 91 of these things...89 of em on Friday.
	2:12pm Guido from Cologne: cdn.discogs.com...
	2:12pm chromaphone: Got one of those kids' records from my youth from Discogs. Good stuff. Thanks again for the suggestion.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: that link isn't working for me Guido
	2:15pm Guido from Cologne: www.coverdude.com...
	2:15pm Alex In Illinois: Do they still have Rock 'n Roll nurses anymore?
	2:17pm Alex In Illinois: I wonder how many pop or rock songs or jut plain songs in English have nurses as a subject? Idea for a compilation to make for friends and family in that profession.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Good idea. My youngest brother is a nurse.
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: Guido, I can't make sense of that picture, either.
	2:20pm Mike East: wait, this exists?
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: YES.
	2:21pm Erella: I would never have thought that Barbra had heard of Bowie. Go figure!
	2:21pm V Priceless: haven't heard this in a while
	2:22pm Lewis: Ok this is really weird….
	2:22pm Alex In Illinois: @Mike East, Erella, Lewis: Ditto!
	2:25pm johnk77: from Wikipedia In 1974, Barbra Streisand released a version of the song on her album ButterFly. In a 1976 Playboy interview, Bowie was asked what he thought of her cover: "Bloody awful. Sorry, Barb, but it was atrocious."
	2:26pm Erella: Johnk77, that is funny!
	2:26pm Alex In Illinois: YES! Streisand doing Life on Mars . . .What Uncle Michael said!
	2:28pm Alex In Illinois: Okay, Bowie's mood in 1976 . . . who knows what he was thinking.
	2:29pm efd: It's actually 3:58 in Newfoundland. #thatguy
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: #thatguy, indeed.
	2:30pm V Priceless: pretty safe to conclude Bowie was "thin white-lined" out of his mind in '76. That's still pretty funny though.
	2:30pm Erella: I live in Toronto. The first time I went to the Sony Centre was to hear Hunky Dory live. I was a teenager and was horrified at all the other people (not like me at all) there enjoying Bowie live. Many years later, in 1995, I was at the King Edward hotel with my young toddler doing a frankenstein walk, (as they do) at the Sunday brunch with some former work colleagues. (Incidentally this is the hotel where John and Yoko did the bed in). My 2 year old daughter walked face-first into Bowie's groin!! He picked her up, told me she was adorable. He laughed. He was a guest at that hotel. This weekend, I won tickets to go to that hotel and that brunch again with my child. Bowie has been on the mind all day.
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: That's a great story, Erella.
	🛒 2:32pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I had to tune in late but I'm glad I didn't miss this old stuff. I love it.
	2:33pm Erella: It is funny. My daughter is 21 now and lives on her own and loves Bowie and gets red in the face at the mention of the story. She and her honey are getting the hotel room that i won. It is funny how when you think of Bowie, he keeps on coming up.
	2:34pm Erella: Welcome Lizzie, I'm in reverie land. Loving the shuffling off to Buffalo now.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Hi Elizabeth! It's even older stuff than Rex features!
	2:36pm ndbob: Barbara's best LP is the one from her TV special "Barbara and Other Musical Instruments" which includes a track where she sings along with appliances
	2:37pm ndbob: very nice set here UM!
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to find that, Bob....and thanks!
	2:38pm Dean: Beautiful set. Throw in some Jane Green. Try "Mine, All Mine": http://www.jazzage1920s.com/janegreen/janegreen.php
	🛒 2:38pm Brian in UK: Loving the Freeform, Uncle. Erella, nice one, the memories are always just bubbling underneath.
	2:39pm Guido from Cologne: here is an older site telling the story of the 666-album. Included is the story of the cover. www.vangelislyrics.com... There is not so much meaning in the painting.
	2:39pm Webhamster Henry: I have a piano roll of "Doin' the Raccoon". It goes well with my roll of "Do The New York"!
	2:40pm ndbob: @UM There is a DVD of the TV special - great story Erella!
	2:42pm Jeff Golick: Why hello there!
	2:43pm chromaphone: Wow Jamaica "Plains" has such a nice ring to it than plain old Jamiaca Plain :)
	2:44pm chromaphone: nicer ring to it
	2:47pm tate: good show UM, gotta head out!
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Jeff!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Plaine is too plain. I promoted it.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Later, tate. Thanks.
	2:51pm chromaphone: It makes me think of plains of ganja overlooking turquoise waters, instead of apartment buildings nestled amongst the asphalt. Actually they have a kickass arboretum.
	2:51pm ndbob: This is a good candidate for the best Motown song
	2:51pm kat330: Wanted to post this link that came in email earlier this afternoon before the show was over: https://soundcloud.com/fatpossum/al-green-lets-get-married-vocals-only Still plugging in those numbers, aided by a UM soundtrack. Have a great weekend boys and girls! ♥
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: That's high praise, Bob. Thanks so much for hanging out today, everyone.
	2:52pm ndbob: @kat ty!
	2:52pm chromaphone: Speaking of Motown, have you checked out Carol Kaye's facebook page? That is def worth following IMO.
	2:53pm chromaphone: Thank yew UM
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: B-52s roots music.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Because Carol is insane?
	2:54pm Guido from Cologne: One of those incredible Morricone tracks ... ... i allways forget on which LP i have it.
	2:54pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm Lewis: OK - I am going to have to get more Morricone… (couldn't quite figure out how to work in a pun there…)
	2:54pm Alex In Illinois: I was just downstairs at the deli, and "Texas Toast" is printed on the end of a bag of bread. Whenever I hear the phrase: "Texas Toast" I think it is a euphemism for something like, I don't know, cow chips.
	2:54pm Jeff Golick: This is amazing.
	2:55pm chromaphone: lol. Actually she has a lot of interesting memories even if they are wrong.
	2:55pm Guido from Cologne: there were quotes from him about "repetetive composing techniques " ...
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Carol has become the Bernard Purdie of the bass guitar.
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: Ah, closing with the red-headed stranger. Song and singer always welcome.
	2:57pm V Priceless: cool show! Thanx, UM!
	2:57pm Alex In Illinois: Okay, now I feel like apologizing about my remark about "Texas toast", hearing Willie Nelson singing.
	2:58pm chromaphone: why? does he take credit for stuff he didn't do? They sure are both amazing players.
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: The Red-Headed Strangler will get you for that, Alex.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: google Purdie's insanity. He played on Beatles records (not)
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: I thought Eddie Murphy was the fifth Beatle. Great show, Uncle Michael, as always. Thanks so much.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Bottom half was a treat; very much looking forward to the archive. Thanks, UM, and stay warm, all you US/winter folks!
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Goodbye friends. It's always an honor.
	3:50pm Kelie "idiot" McIver: Hey Uncle Michael! So I saw the reminder that the show is today and thought "Oh! I'm finally home when it's happening and I can listen in real time!" Then discovered it's ET, so totally missed it! Still love them via the archives. Happy Valentine's Day!
	5:28pm Uncle Michael: Time zones are hard, Kelie! Thanks for listening, however you listen.
