	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: And edible!
	12:05pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM! Mind that first step, it's a doozy!
	🛒 12:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it was pritty good Hard Bop, but it weren't no Hinky...
	12:06pm Lane Steelpicker: Enjoyed the last half hour of your show, Doug
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Good morning! @Duke! @Lane! @Doug! @James! @Rabbit!
	12:12pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Howdy V!
	12:26pm Webhamster Henry: I am a hummus radio station.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: I'm a PITA.
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: Don't falafel that mountain!
	🛒 12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Olive you are crazy.
	12:30pm Webhamster Henry: My guru is Baba Ganush --- I mean Ganesh!
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: I'm feta 'pwit alla youse.
	🛒 12:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...see - Clapton in the 1960s. (...you hafta put the '19' in now, so nobody thinks you mean their 6th decade of life...)
	12:32pm Dean: The comment board is Greek to me.
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Henry and Dean
	12:34pm listener james from westwood: I'm (a) a 5-min walk from a Greek joint and (b) now peckish.
	12:35pm Lane Steelpicker: I'm a combination of pumped and worried. Steel Guitar show tomorrow, and I've neither practiced nor drawn up chord charts for my set. AND I found out that I learned the B part to "Dinah" wrong.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: Rev, the distinction is between '60s and 60s.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Lane, that's called "jazz."
	12:38pm Lane Steelpicker: Yup. I'm just gonna chart what I know and call it "Ain't Dinah." It has the A part right, but borrows the B part from Cherokee.
	12:40pm Jeff Golick: Happy to report that desk and computer made it successfully into another room. Wa-hoo. Now to check the WD HD...
	12:41pm Dean: Confusion. Is this an "instrumental" cover of a Hoyt Axton tune?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Congrats, Jeff!
	12:42pm Lane Steelpicker: Michael left an entry off the playlist
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Michael fixed it!
	12:43pm Lane Steelpicker: Is this what happens when you feed Hoyt after midnight?
	12:43pm Dean: Ah, not even a cover!
	12:44pm Lane Steelpicker: Nor, fit for that matter, an instrumental.
	12:45pm Dean: There's a theme for a playlist: tunes that take the lord's name in vain. Let's see: Nina Simone, The Cult, Steppenwolf...
	12:46pm Rich in Washington: Hoyt's albums are really overlooked. Some amazing songwriting.
	12:46pm Dean: Steppenwolf was 1968. 'twas a very good year.
	12:47pm Parq: Wow, that was Hoyt Axton? (Sorry, wasn't following the playlist.) He really was all over the place, wasn't he?
	12:49pm βrian: Lactic acid-25?
	12:50pm Rich in Washington: Stay away from the brown lactic acid.
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...goes great w/ Ultimate Spinach in a falafel...
	12:51pm Lane Steelpicker: Is that a real invitation?
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: No.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: The pickles aren't ready.
	🛒 12:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Back home now and into work. Hey. Used to have a copy of Hoyt's 'My Griffin is Gone'
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Hi Rich, Parq, Brian and Brian!
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Merv Griffin is gone too.
	12:55pm Lane Steelpicker: Don't matter who's in Austin
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: @Lane liked your uTube steel primer.
	12:55pm Doug Schulkind: I loved Bob's brother, Maury.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: His maiden name was Povich.
	12:56pm Lane Steelpicker: Thanks, Brian
	12:59pm Doug Schulkind: I'd like to request Arbee Stidham's "Lincoln Continental." I am a rebel.
	12:59pm Dean: Remember the joke about brothers Tom Kennedy (game show producer) and Jack Narz (host)? One of them changed his name to help him forge a career in show business. Which one?
	1:02pm Rich in Washington: Maybe this song is where Reagan got his Cadillac welfare mama story he use to like to tell...
	1:02pm ndbob: Ha Doug!
	1:08pm Rich in Washington: WOw. I just looked up Guy Drake's discography. That Welfare Cadillac lp looks hilarious.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Hey there, Bob.
	1:11pm V Priceless: speaking of name changes: Sam Goldwyn's real name was Goldfish - his partner was Archibald Selwyn...thus, the "Goldwyn" name was born, after a snide suggestion that he opt for "Selfish" instead!
	1:11pm ndbob: Hey there UM!
	1:11pm ndbob: @Rich be sure to hear another Guy Drake 45 "Them Marching Hippies"
	1:13pm Parq: Welfare recipients in Cadillacs were a popular middle American trope in the last decades of the 20th Century. Jerry Reed referred to it in his early-70s top-40 hit "When You're Hot, You're Hot", and Roy Blount invoked it in "White Man's Burden", a semi-facetious country song published in his book Crackers (available from Google Books). By the time Reagan was running on it, millions of Americans honestly believed that it happened all the time.
	1:14pm 67tele: you're the cadillac of djs michael
	1:16pm Doug Schulkind: You can hear Jimmy Carter's famous (infamous) Crisis of Confidence speech (sometimes referred to as the "malaise speech") on this show I did a little over a year ago: wfmu.org... (Listen after Hinky Dinky Time is over!)
	1:18pm efd: I always enjoy hearing a baseball announcer say that a player is "Cadillac-ing around the bases" to describe a particularly slow or showy home run trot.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Tele!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Hi there Even 'Disco' Davies.
	1:22pm Doug Schulkind: Hi there, Evan "Dombrowski" Davies.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Ben Unemployed Cherington
	1:27pm Dean: James Fallows on Carter's press conference: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/08/an-extraordinary-moment-from-jimmy-carter/401957/ Fallows was a speech writer for Carter.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Jarring segue alert! Jarring segue alert!
	1:29pm V Priceless: Damned baby! Woo!
	🛒 1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh UM - you haven't become one of those...gone Punk - have you ??...
	1:31pm V Priceless: whoa! Monks! Nice, UM!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: Who, me?
	1:32pm efd: Yeah Monks!
	1:32pm Dean: Fortunately, this is probably the only really overtly misogynistic song ever written.
	1:32pm efd: It's been an interesting few weeks to be a Red Sox fan, that's for sure.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Dean, but he get's his in the end.
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh UM - you haven't dropped The Beatles & become one of those...Stones fans - have you ??...
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Good things await, Evan.
	1:34pm V Priceless: John Ford's a buddy of mine - played bass w/him for many years - swell chap and a super talent!
	1:35pm V Priceless: that Monks track always brought the house down - ha!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Who, me?
	1:35pm efd: That is supercool, V Priceless!
	🛒 1:36pm Brian in UK: The Monks song gives you an example of Cockney Rhyming Slang. Boat Race = Face. The woman in question would never become the Trouble and Strife = Wife of the singer
	1:36pm efd: That whole Monks album is pretty choice, as I recall; haven't listened to all of it in a while.
	1:36pm 67tele: bad smelly=tele
	1:38pm V Priceless: indeed, efd! He's still local to Long Island / NYC here and there. Both Monks records are pretty clever pop records, IMO.
	🛒 1:40pm Brian in UK: Shame about The Bad Enzymes breaking up.
	1:40pm listener james from westwood: I actually do find this interesting! I've had friends who are bakers and brewers, so anyone who can actually coax delights from base matter via fermentation is a wizard in my eyes.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: It's dead easy, mate.
	🛒 1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...everybody else thinking Eric Burdon's 'Monterey' for that Richard Holmes?...
	2:03pm mauri: ferment the pie michael! I heard the blue things song similar to beatles tomorrow never knows. same year out but I guess beatles came after? maybe that structure, the rhythm and the guitar melody, comes from a some earlier song?
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I'm suspicious of that date.
	🛒 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @mauri: ...I heard 'Taxman' (also 'Revolver' - same dif); everybody does that Bass riff...
	2:10pm Webhamster Henry: Uncle Michael has excellent taste in music!
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Thanks! Maybe I should be a DJ!
	🛒 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The blue light was my baby - & the red light was my mind' - in 1937. I ask you.
	2:24pm johnk77: @um u rock hoyt axton was a party animal;> @rrn63 jagger/richards brilliant at stealing from the best
	🛒 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @johnk77: - well - Stones flat-out covered that; they were pretty notable for crediting African-American sources decades before anyone else cared...if aping them closely...
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Hi John, thanks!
	2:36pm V Priceless: Nice! Primo AC!
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I love it...to death.
	2:39pm doctorjazz: One of those riffs/chord sequences that can do no wrong.
	2:39pm V Priceless: ...and the hits just keep on coming! Woo! Fab show, UM!
	2:40pm efd: oh hey, it's that song that John Carter and Ken Lewis sing back up on! :D
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Really?
	2:41pm efd: yep! And Perry Ford too, I believe -- all of The Ivy League.
	2:44pm efd: "The Seeker" is so good that even Rush do a good cover of it.
	2:45pm V Priceless: haha @ efd!
	2:46pm duke: I like the Who a lot, but during a period when I had to listen to commercial radio I learned to hate that Baba O'Riley song. It seemed to be played every hour.
	2:46pm johnk77: @rrn63 my comment not criticism t.s.eliot said the immature poet imitates and the mature poet plagiarizes. richards good at crediting sources
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...snark!...
	2:46pm doctorjazz: The Who generally either strike out or hit the home run, not much in between.
	2:47pm doctorjazz: Thankfully, the hits were plenty!
	2:47pm Artie Haywire: Agree, doctorjazz. So many great songs, and so many that just elicit a shrug.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: I could list a bunch of solid infield hits they beat out to first.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Pre-Monkees Mickey Dolenz...
	🛒 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @duke: This is the prime characteristic of Commercial Radio/Media: three songs by anyone. It was (past tense) a prime characteristic of Rawk Radio that it had Continuity: would play older foundational stuff as well as new 'Hits', & deeper cuts too... - this was particularly relevant for The Wh♂ (& daggummit under-filmed & under-documented as such), who were about being the Greatest Live Band Ever, & famously frustrated @ ever having a #1...Hence, many people, especially younger ones, know the Three Songs by them & wonder what the fuss is about... Rock is Dead they say - Long Live Rock...
	2:53pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob.
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: David La Flamme? Nice one Uncle.
	2:58pm Lane Steelpicker: I just got a FB friend request from a guy who plays Indian music on pedal steel
	2:58pm melinda: I didn't know there was a pre-Monkees Mickey Dolenz.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Just a little. Two singles...four songs...not released till there were Monkees.
	2:59pm V Priceless: Thanks Uncle Michael! Great stuff! Cheers for a swell weekend!
	2:59pm melinda: Nice folky tunes today.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: This is one purty closer.
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all. Thanks so much.
	3:00pm Webhamster Henry: It's a Beautiful Day intrigued me with its lack of credits on the cover.
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: It's a beautiful day when it's got Hinky Dinky Time in the afternoon! Many thanks, UM!
	🛒 3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...in other words, a Wh♂fan who gets the Albums is a different creature; imagine a time when they & Hendrix & Cream were 'Underground' acts...) - Yer World Class Uncle Michael. ...Long Love the Drummer Stream !
	3:03pm efd: I enjoyed the show, Uncle Michael, as usual!
	3:06pm Uncle Michael: Thank my friends!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 21, 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.

	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Congrats, Jeff!
	12:42pm Lane Steelpicker: Michael left an entry off the playlist
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Michael fixed it!
	12:43pm Lane Steelpicker: Is this what happens when you feed Hoyt after midnight?
	12:43pm Dean: Ah, not even a cover!
	12:44pm Lane Steelpicker: Nor, fit for that matter, an instrumental.
	12:45pm Dean: There's a theme for a playlist: tunes that take the lord's name in vain. Let's see: Nina Simone, The Cult, Steppenwolf...
	12:46pm Rich in Washington: Hoyt's albums are really overlooked. Some amazing songwriting.
	12:46pm Dean: Steppenwolf was 1968. 'twas a very good year.
	12:47pm Parq: Wow, that was Hoyt Axton? (Sorry, wasn't following the playlist.) He really was all over the place, wasn't he?
	12:49pm βrian: Lactic acid-25?
	12:50pm Rich in Washington: Stay away from the brown lactic acid.
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...goes great w/ Ultimate Spinach in a falafel...
	12:51pm Lane Steelpicker: Is that a real invitation?
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: No.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: The pickles aren't ready.
	🛒 12:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Back home now and into work. Hey. Used to have a copy of Hoyt's 'My Griffin is Gone'
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Hi Rich, Parq, Brian and Brian!
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Merv Griffin is gone too.
	12:55pm Lane Steelpicker: Don't matter who's in Austin
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: @Lane liked your uTube steel primer.
	12:55pm Doug Schulkind: I loved Bob's brother, Maury.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: His maiden name was Povich.
	12:56pm Lane Steelpicker: Thanks, Brian
	12:59pm Doug Schulkind: I'd like to request Arbee Stidham's "Lincoln Continental." I am a rebel.
	12:59pm Dean: Remember the joke about brothers Tom Kennedy (game show producer) and Jack Narz (host)? One of them changed his name to help him forge a career in show business. Which one?
	1:02pm Rich in Washington: Maybe this song is where Reagan got his Cadillac welfare mama story he use to like to tell...
	1:02pm ndbob: Ha Doug!
	1:08pm Rich in Washington: WOw. I just looked up Guy Drake's discography. That Welfare Cadillac lp looks hilarious.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Hey there, Bob.
	1:11pm V Priceless: speaking of name changes: Sam Goldwyn's real name was Goldfish - his partner was Archibald Selwyn...thus, the "Goldwyn" name was born, after a snide suggestion that he opt for "Selfish" instead!
	1:11pm ndbob: Hey there UM!
	1:11pm ndbob: @Rich be sure to hear another Guy Drake 45 "Them Marching Hippies"
	1:13pm Parq: Welfare recipients in Cadillacs were a popular middle American trope in the last decades of the 20th Century. Jerry Reed referred to it in his early-70s top-40 hit "When You're Hot, You're Hot", and Roy Blount invoked it in "White Man's Burden", a semi-facetious country song published in his book Crackers (available from Google Books). By the time Reagan was running on it, millions of Americans honestly believed that it happened all the time.
	1:14pm 67tele: you're the cadillac of djs michael
	1:16pm Doug Schulkind: You can hear Jimmy Carter's famous (infamous) Crisis of Confidence speech (sometimes referred to as the "malaise speech") on this show I did a little over a year ago: wfmu.org... (Listen after Hinky Dinky Time is over!)
	1:18pm efd: I always enjoy hearing a baseball announcer say that a player is "Cadillac-ing around the bases" to describe a particularly slow or showy home run trot.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Tele!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Hi there Even 'Disco' Davies.
	1:22pm Doug Schulkind: Hi there, Evan "Dombrowski" Davies.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Ben Unemployed Cherington
	1:27pm Dean: James Fallows on Carter's press conference: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/08/an-extraordinary-moment-from-jimmy-carter/401957/ Fallows was a speech writer for Carter.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Jarring segue alert! Jarring segue alert!
	1:29pm V Priceless: Damned baby! Woo!
	🛒 1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh UM - you haven't become one of those...gone Punk - have you ??...
	1:31pm V Priceless: whoa! Monks! Nice, UM!
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: Who, me?
	1:32pm efd: Yeah Monks!
	1:32pm Dean: Fortunately, this is probably the only really overtly misogynistic song ever written.
	1:32pm efd: It's been an interesting few weeks to be a Red Sox fan, that's for sure.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Dean, but he get's his in the end.
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh UM - you haven't dropped The Beatles & become one of those...Stones fans - have you ??...
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Good things await, Evan.
	1:34pm V Priceless: John Ford's a buddy of mine - played bass w/him for many years - swell chap and a super talent!
	1:35pm V Priceless: that Monks track always brought the house down - ha!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Who, me?
	1:35pm efd: That is supercool, V Priceless!
	🛒 1:36pm Brian in UK: The Monks song gives you an example of Cockney Rhyming Slang. Boat Race = Face. The woman in question would never become the Trouble and Strife = Wife of the singer
	1:36pm efd: That whole Monks album is pretty choice, as I recall; haven't listened to all of it in a while.
	1:36pm 67tele: bad smelly=tele
	1:38pm V Priceless: indeed, efd! He's still local to Long Island / NYC here and there. Both Monks records are pretty clever pop records, IMO.
	🛒 1:40pm Brian in UK: Shame about The Bad Enzymes breaking up.
	1:40pm listener james from westwood: I actually do find this interesting! I've had friends who are bakers and brewers, so anyone who can actually coax delights from base matter via fermentation is a wizard in my eyes.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: It's dead easy, mate.
	🛒 1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...everybody else thinking Eric Burdon's 'Monterey' for that Richard Holmes?...
	2:03pm mauri: ferment the pie michael! I heard the blue things song similar to beatles tomorrow never knows. same year out but I guess beatles came after? maybe that structure, the rhythm and the guitar melody, comes from a some earlier song?
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I'm suspicious of that date.
	🛒 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @mauri: ...I heard 'Taxman' (also 'Revolver' - same dif); everybody does that Bass riff...
	2:10pm Webhamster Henry: Uncle Michael has excellent taste in music!
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Thanks! Maybe I should be a DJ!
	🛒 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The blue light was my baby - & the red light was my mind' - in 1937. I ask you.
	2:24pm johnk77: @um u rock hoyt axton was a party animal;> @rrn63 jagger/richards brilliant at stealing from the best
	🛒 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @johnk77: - well - Stones flat-out covered that; they were pretty notable for crediting African-American sources decades before anyone else cared...if aping them closely...
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Hi John, thanks!
	2:36pm V Priceless: Nice! Primo AC!
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, I love it...to death.
	2:39pm doctorjazz: One of those riffs/chord sequences that can do no wrong.
	2:39pm V Priceless: ...and the hits just keep on coming! Woo! Fab show, UM!
	2:40pm efd: oh hey, it's that song that John Carter and Ken Lewis sing back up on! :D
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Really?
	2:41pm efd: yep! And Perry Ford too, I believe -- all of The Ivy League.
	2:44pm efd: "The Seeker" is so good that even Rush do a good cover of it.
	2:45pm V Priceless: haha @ efd!
	2:46pm duke: I like the Who a lot, but during a period when I had to listen to commercial radio I learned to hate that Baba O'Riley song. It seemed to be played every hour.
	2:46pm johnk77: @rrn63 my comment not criticism t.s.eliot said the immature poet imitates and the mature poet plagiarizes. richards good at crediting sources
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...snark!...
	2:46pm doctorjazz: The Who generally either strike out or hit the home run, not much in between.
	2:47pm doctorjazz: Thankfully, the hits were plenty!
	2:47pm Artie Haywire: Agree, doctorjazz. So many great songs, and so many that just elicit a shrug.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: I could list a bunch of solid infield hits they beat out to first.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Pre-Monkees Mickey Dolenz...
	🛒 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @duke: This is the prime characteristic of Commercial Radio/Media: three songs by anyone. It was (past tense) a prime characteristic of Rawk Radio that it had Continuity: would play older foundational stuff as well as new 'Hits', & deeper cuts too... - this was particularly relevant for The Wh♂ (& daggummit under-filmed & under-documented as such), who were about being the Greatest Live Band Ever, & famously frustrated @ ever having a #1...Hence, many people, especially younger ones, know the Three Songs by them & wonder what the fuss is about... Rock is Dead they say - Long Live Rock...
	2:53pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob.
	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: David La Flamme? Nice one Uncle.
	2:58pm Lane Steelpicker: I just got a FB friend request from a guy who plays Indian music on pedal steel
	2:58pm melinda: I didn't know there was a pre-Monkees Mickey Dolenz.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Just a little. Two singles...four songs...not released till there were Monkees.
	2:59pm V Priceless: Thanks Uncle Michael! Great stuff! Cheers for a swell weekend!
	2:59pm melinda: Nice folky tunes today.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: This is one purty closer.
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all. Thanks so much.
	3:00pm Webhamster Henry: It's a Beautiful Day intrigued me with its lack of credits on the cover.
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: It's a beautiful day when it's got Hinky Dinky Time in the afternoon! Many thanks, UM!
	🛒 3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...in other words, a Wh♂fan who gets the Albums is a different creature; imagine a time when they & Hendrix & Cream were 'Underground' acts...) - Yer World Class Uncle Michael. ...Long Love the Drummer Stream !
	3:03pm efd: I enjoyed the show, Uncle Michael, as usual!
	3:06pm Uncle Michael: Thank my friends!
