	12:05pm Doug Schulkind: Sorry Uncle. I owe you five minutes.
	12:06pm Lane Gray: I'd always thought he was claiming to be the saxman Stanley Turrentable...
	12:06pm hyde: speaking of rare treats....
	12:06pm Dean: Cruising the Mandelbrot Highway...
	12:06pm ndbob: afternoon UM et al

	12:11pm Uncle Michael: @Artie YOU TOO!
	12:12pm still b/p: Before EZ Pass, you had to give the toll-taker a mobius strip bill when you got on that bridge.
	12:12pm Jeff Golick: Other Jeff, now reporting.
	12:13pm listener jeff: I will be Other Jeff next week.
	12:14pm Lane Gray: BP: why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? To get to the same side
	12:14pm V Priceless: Hey Mr. Uncle Michael
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: @still b/p @Other Jeff Throw your coats on the bed in there...
	12:16pm efd: Don't you know you're riding on the M. C. Esch express...
	12:17pm doctorjazz: Great opening! (been on that ride, made me very nauseous...)
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: @VP @EFD @doctor J Welcome!
	12:22pm Stevel: Yo, big daddy on the plains!
	12:23pm efd: ah, nice to hear this lesser-played Michael Penn tune.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: @Steve That's us!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Gated reverb on the drums was not dead yet in '89.
	12:23pm V Priceless: nice one, efd!
	🛒 12:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Wow, this is a great tune.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Lizzie...agreed.
	12:30pm still b/p: Proud snare assertion on that "More" track behind you is funny.
	12:31pm listener james from westwood: You're close in Topeka but not totally in totality: www.eclipse2017.org...
	12:31pm efd: It's on a weekend! Aug 19-20, 2017
	12:32pm listener james from westwood: And of course now I'm thinking of Klaus Nomi! Okay, more so.
	12:32pm hyde: great, now i have "Total Eclipse of the Heart" stuck in my head
	12:32pm efd: Here's a Kansas-specific page from the same site that ljfw linked to: www.eclipse2017.org...
	12:32pm Lane Gray: August 21 is what I got. Either a little east or north of town
	12:33pm still b/p: Drove midwest to Winnipeg in 1979 to see total eclipse. Always hoped to see another.
	12:33pm Lane Gray: eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html
	12:34pm coelacanth: Good afternoon Uncle and Hinky Dinky Time Travelers
	12:34pm listener james from westwood: A certain car company noted that 2017 date in one of its 90s ads. It stuck!
	12:36pm coelacanth: that Jaynetts track will stick with me for a while.
	12:37pm chromaphone: Hi. Missed the beginning of show because I was getting photos of hatchling snapping turtles :)
	12:37pm still b/p: Maybe Corona beer should tie itself in, marketing-wise.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the links! Hi coelacanth!hi chromaphone!
	12:39pm melinda: hi everyone!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: wow chromaphone...how cool
	12:40pm adrian in mpls: Nice to hear Sturgill! Going to see him open for Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson at the MN State Fair on Monday!
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: "but his eyes held the sea" Hi Melinda!
	12:41pm hyde: this Sturgill Simpson sounds pretty great. Is the whole album as good?
	12:41pm hyde: @adrian oh wow, that sounds like a great show!
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: That's a new one on me. Sturgill Simpson. Yes yes yes!
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Yes hyde...he's worth your time.
	12:45pm hyde: i think i might just have to buy that one
	12:45pm melinda: Yes, the Sturgill Simpson was good!
	12:45pm Gaylord Fields: Just a quick wave hello before I dive back into work.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Gaylord...look busy!
	12:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: @adrian in mpls - I heard Lynyrd Skynyrd played the fair last night.
	12:55pm chromaphone: I guess Denny just performed at the library in my little town but I missed it. Heard he was great.
	12:59pm Stevel: Pepperhands are a level IV hazard. Beware all digital/epidermal contact.
	1:01pm doctorjazz: have the Simpson album, has to say, it hasn't caught my ear yet. Have to give it some more ear time.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Nothing is for everyone, doc.
	1:04pm chromaphone: I heard that everyone loves ice cream though.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: I wish we'd gotten this version of the Hobbit movie.
	1:05pm listener james from westwood: One does not simply rock into Mordor.
	1:07pm KimSorise: So underrated is Mr. Howard Tate - Thanks for the track.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: I think that bass line unlocks the Eye of Sauren or something.
	1:07pm Pedro G.: Rafael Soriano was a bad idea.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: YW Kim!
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: Howdo Uncle. How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
	1:09pm Alex In Illinois: I saw Howard Tate live in Chicago once.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: I just have a way with dogs.
	1:09pm melinda: Bonnie Raitt covered Ain't Nobody Home on Streetlights & until now that was the only version I knew, nice to hear the earlier one. I assume it's the original.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: It is. And I really like Bonnie's version. I like all of her early work and some of her very late stuff.
	1:12pm efd: When I interviewed Jerry Shirley he told me that "(If You Think You're) Groovy" was the best three minutes of Kenney Jones drumming ever recorded.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: I do not know about that. I mean...I believe he said it. Let me run through "Five Guys Walked Into A Bar" and get back to you.
	1:15pm chromaphone: Bonnie's first album is so great. I wish she stuck with that raw production style. I wonder if there are any good live recordings of her early years.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Her version of "Too Long at the Fair" is one of my favorite things ever.
	1:18pm Doug Schulkind: Mondo Cane!
	1:20pm melinda: I'll have to look that one up U.M. Her version of That Song About the Midway was also another I heard before the original and it's my favorite on that album.
	1:20pm Parq: I actually remember commercials for the Mondo Cane films on local top forty radio in the mid 60s. Just try imagine something like that on today's Clearchannel robots.
	1:21pm Dean: This Alphonso tune reminds me of a special compilation, 5 CDs, made for me by a friend, consisting of a bazillion recordings, mostly LP transcriptions, featuring organ, usually B3. Stuff like Greg Rolie with Santana, Felix Cavaliere, etc. He called it "Organ Spankers." I contribute this comment only so I can write "organ spankers."
	1:22pm chromaphone: Song about the Midway is so great, and much better than the original.
	1:27pm listener james from westwood: El-Bakkar plays a role in WFMU-obsession history: his "Haun Meelee" was the track over which the "Corn Weenie"guy sang in that infamous bit of 365 Days Project found sound.
	1:27pm still b/p: Oh, dear, oh,dear...the sights they'd put with the sounds... www.discogs.com...
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: This is some fine organ spanking too.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been listening...
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Welcome Interstate Managers and Lurkers!
	1:28pm listener james from westwood: Mmmmm ... Mansfield.
	1:29pm efd: o hai McNichols!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: heh
	1:47pm still b/p: I was singing along loudly and half-assedly with Bobby Darin's version of More yesterday while driving Maine's back roads.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Would you call his recording "definitive?"
	1:52pm still b/p: Well, I'd call it Bobby Darin definitive -- there are too many flavors and moods and diverting treatments, as we're hearing here today, to elevate any one version to big D status.
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Yes, "More" really is a canvas upon which anything is possible.
	1:55pm still b/p: Mondo Canvas.
	1:56pm Jeff Golick: I'm a long-time Bob lover but I've never been able to get with these duos.
	1:57pm Jeff Golick: I'll see myself out.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: If you can't say anything nice...make yourself at home.
	1:59pm Mike East: I love this Dylan and Cash, cuz its like they didn't rehearse it or even discuss what words they would sing or how they would phrase it. Just hit record and we'll wing it
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: That's what I hear too. For better or worse...
	2:00pm Lane Gray: The sense the Good Lord gave a Ent?
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: That seems to be the way Dylan works. Probably since working with The Band, they could handle it.
	🛒 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - huh - I was thinking how well their voices worked together - both resonant of such Legacies...but harmony singer is not among Bob's chief gifts I suppose...
	2:01pm Rick from SC: I'm lovin' the Wings!
	2:01pm still b/p: Bruno Mars singing that hash-of-borrowings Uptown Funk You Up sounds like Joe Tex here and there in it.
	🛒 2:02pm Brian in UK: Emmylou Dylan he ain't.
	2:02pm Spaceman One: I liked Buddy too!
	2:02pm Konin: Uncle and all! Glad to be in.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Welcome Rick and Konin. I'm with you Spaceman!
	2:03pm Goyim in the AM: I have not heard this song since I was about 10 years old, and I swear I know every word and note. EERIE. I think an older sibling must have had London Town on heavy rotation.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: This might be my favorite of these Wings songs today.
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's 'Mozambique' Bob manages...
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: @Mike East: I hear that, too...and wouldn't ordinarily mind it...though find the two of them too far apart (in conception, or something) to have it work for me.
	2:05pm Goyim in the AM: Yeah, it's a good song, which is probably why it lodged in the ol' noggin so completely.
	🛒 2:05pm Brian in UK: Wherever you are in China it is Beijing time.
	2:05pm Konin: I just realize how days are always new here to me. This world can seem so grey and old to me but here it's always fresh. Kinda sweet...
	2:07pm Konin: I'll get mi coat.
	2:08pm Mike East: @Jeff - can be a divisive track. my bro in law owns EVERY Dylan album and that track makes him cringe
	2:08pm hyde: i come in on the pro side for Dylan/Cash. My gf doesn't like it at all.
	🛒 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what stood out to me was how different Bob's voice was in that period - evidence of how he changes voices, gestures, personas so utterly...
	2:09pm hyde: it even divides households!
	🛒 2:09pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I love Dylan in that song, can't stand Cash. I know, I'm a philistine. I never had any use for Wings but have to admit I'm liking all of these songs. Live and learn.
	2:10pm melinda: I've always liked the unrehearsed quality of Girl from the North Country.
	2:11pm still b/p: The two familiar very contrasting voices make it interesting to the ear in the unslick progress of it..."Hey, you got Dylan in my Cash!" "You got Cash in my Dylan!" Two great tastes that semi-grope great together.
	2:13pm 67tele: jimmy mcculloch also sang on Medicine Jar and Wino Junko...
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Those are the two that I'm not playing today.
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Because I've played 'em before...several times...
	2:17pm V Priceless: Nice Kinky sounds! Yay!
	2:18pm melinda: @still b/p: well put.
	2:18pm V Priceless: goes well with your swirling road, UM!
	🛒 2:18pm Brian in UK: Found myself singing!! Don't You Fret an early Kinks songs, the other day. No idea where it drifted in from.
	2:18pm Parq: The near-atonal croaking of Bob and Johnny on "true -- lov-v-v-ve -- of-f-f-f" is one of the most vivid memories of my adolescence. I got that album from the local library. I actually picture my childhood bedroom whenever I hear that passage.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: I picture your childhood bedroom too, Parq.
	2:20pm Parq: You have my sympathies.
	🛒 2:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I remember this Bobby Gentry song! Very risque!
	2:22pm melinda: Bobbie! I was hoping the Fancy theme would lead to this one.
	2:26pm Alex In Illinois: Dang! Bobbie Gentry's songwriting is amazing. I had not heard that one before, and I was hanging on to every word.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Yep, she wrote it.
	2:27pm Parq: Yeh, that is a terrific little number, ain't it?
	2:36pm listener james from westwood: Bobbie Gentry has numerous entries in my growing-up "You can DO that in a song?!" playlist. Presley's "In the Ghetto" is another, as is "Sympathy for the Devil." Just perfect, paradigm-shifting unities of tune and storytelling my young self hadn't thought possible.
	2:36pm melinda: Gilbert O'Sullivan sounds like a pseudonym.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: That should be your DJ premium, James.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Raymond Edward O'Sullivan
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: He refers to himself as Uncle Ray in "Claire."
	2:42pm Goyim in the AM: It's good that I have an electric oven, 'cause this Nilsson song makes we wanna stick my head in it. (In a good way.)
	2:42pm still b/p: I appreciate the unflowery, uninflated clarity of this from O'Sullivan: "I write pop songs. End of story. That's all I wanted to do. That's all I want to do. And that's all I continue to want to do. I have no interest in just touring, and living in the past."
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: That's pretty cool.
	2:44pm listener james from westwood: @UM: It would be quite a mix!
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Don't hear this Beach Boy tune much (if ever), really nice.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: GDTR's DJ Flash Strap inspired that selection.
	2:49pm Sean B.: I love Carls voice. Just watched Love And Mercy last night. Giamatti as Landry? Forgettaboutit!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I love carl's voice too...but that was Dennis.
	🛒 2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @still b/p: - that's just what I was thinking listening to that Gilbert: it's kinda singer-songwriter, but it's Pop - & we love it. @doctorjazz: When working @ a CD store, somebody just left a beat-up disc from the green Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations' boxed set - no case or anything. So I know that tune. Love when music enters yer life like that...It's a good boxed set, apparently!...
	2:52pm Sean B.: ? Thought it was on second thought.hope all is well mike.The book was better though. The autobiography
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: All is well, Sean. How are you?
	2:54pm Sean B.: Good.just checking in enjoying the music.
	🛒 2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...actually that boxed set is probably woody colored - whatever...
	2:55pm ndbob: Indeed LJFW - took me quite a while to appreciate Bobbie
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Every Friday at 3:01pm it's like falling off a cliff. @Doug, if you're reading these comments, how about we get a new show for 3-6 or whatnot...?
	2:58pm chromaphone: Great idea Jeff
	🛒 2:58pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Uncle. @Jeff G it is a bit different here at eight o'clock.
	2:59pm Jeff Golick: Ah, yes, @Brian, I suppose it is on to the dinner hour and weekend-y pursuits. Still have some daylight to deal with here in the States.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: But Jeff, then I'll have to finish on time!
	3:00pm Jeff Golick: (Doesn't seem to stop Doug, @UM.)
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Imagine a 24/7 schedule and no one finishing on time.
	🛒 3:03pm Brian in UK: If everyone does it, it is the same thing. To the kitchen, Jeeves.
	3:03pm Jeff Golick: You've pretty much described my life, right there.
	3:03pm still b/p: Stephen Stills auditioned when The Monkees were being assembled, but no get. He played some guitar on that Long Title track. Dreams can come true.
	3:04pm sean b.: You listen to Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands by Dylan. Thats where that song came from
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for spending precious time, friends.
	3:05pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Would be nice to have something after 3PM, agree with the "falling off a cliff".Well, I was away last week, 2 shows to catch up with...
	🛒 3:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Um - 'specially for the pickled egg tavern weepers.
	3:07pm chromaphone: The end of Long, long, long used to really creep me out when I was a kid
	3:09pm listener james from westwood: @doctorjazz: You never know—4 weeks ago we didn't have Kim or Mayuko on the roster! What might autumn bring? For the moment, 3 pm is often my Nick Name archive session. @UM: Many thanks for the fine show and for the returns to Wings throughout! It was like a chorus in a Greek play. (A happy Greek play. Too many of them end with blindness and madness and pissed-off Olympians.) A fine weekend to all!!
	3:10pm V Priceless: thanks, Unc! Have a fun holiday
	3:10pm Parq: Today got of to one lousy start. Never mind why, but I really needed some quiet time with good music and snappy conversation. Thanks, all.
	3:14pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Uncle Michael!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 4, 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.

	12:16pm efd: Don't you know you're riding on the M. C. Esch express...

	12:17pm Uncle Michael: @VP @EFD @doctor J Welcome!
	12:22pm Stevel: Yo, big daddy on the plains!
	12:23pm efd: ah, nice to hear this lesser-played Michael Penn tune.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: @Steve That's us!
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Gated reverb on the drums was not dead yet in '89.
	12:23pm V Priceless: nice one, efd!
	🛒 12:24pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Wow, this is a great tune.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Lizzie...agreed.
	12:30pm still b/p: Proud snare assertion on that "More" track behind you is funny.
	12:31pm listener james from westwood: You're close in Topeka but not totally in totality: www.eclipse2017.org...
	12:31pm efd: It's on a weekend! Aug 19-20, 2017

	12:32pm efd: Here's a Kansas-specific page from the same site that ljfw linked to: www.eclipse2017.org...
	12:32pm Lane Gray: August 21 is what I got. Either a little east or north of town
	12:33pm still b/p: Drove midwest to Winnipeg in 1979 to see total eclipse. Always hoped to see another.
	12:33pm Lane Gray: eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html
	12:34pm coelacanth: Good afternoon Uncle and Hinky Dinky Time Travelers
	12:34pm listener james from westwood: A certain car company noted that 2017 date in one of its 90s ads. It stuck!
	12:36pm coelacanth: that Jaynetts track will stick with me for a while.
	12:37pm chromaphone: Hi. Missed the beginning of show because I was getting photos of hatchling snapping turtles :)
	12:37pm still b/p: Maybe Corona beer should tie itself in, marketing-wise.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the links! Hi coelacanth!hi chromaphone!
	12:39pm melinda: hi everyone!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: wow chromaphone...how cool
	12:40pm adrian in mpls: Nice to hear Sturgill! Going to see him open for Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson at the MN State Fair on Monday!
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: "but his eyes held the sea" Hi Melinda!
	12:41pm hyde: this Sturgill Simpson sounds pretty great. Is the whole album as good?
	12:41pm hyde: @adrian oh wow, that sounds like a great show!
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: That's a new one on me. Sturgill Simpson. Yes yes yes!
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Yes hyde...he's worth your time.
	12:45pm hyde: i think i might just have to buy that one
	12:45pm melinda: Yes, the Sturgill Simpson was good!
	12:45pm Gaylord Fields: Just a quick wave hello before I dive back into work.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Gaylord...look busy!
	12:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: @adrian in mpls - I heard Lynyrd Skynyrd played the fair last night.
	12:55pm chromaphone: I guess Denny just performed at the library in my little town but I missed it. Heard he was great.
	12:59pm Stevel: Pepperhands are a level IV hazard. Beware all digital/epidermal contact.
	1:01pm doctorjazz: have the Simpson album, has to say, it hasn't caught my ear yet. Have to give it some more ear time.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Nothing is for everyone, doc.
	1:04pm chromaphone: I heard that everyone loves ice cream though.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: I wish we'd gotten this version of the Hobbit movie.
	1:05pm listener james from westwood: One does not simply rock into Mordor.
	1:07pm KimSorise: So underrated is Mr. Howard Tate - Thanks for the track.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: I think that bass line unlocks the Eye of Sauren or something.
	1:07pm Pedro G.: Rafael Soriano was a bad idea.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: YW Kim!
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: Howdo Uncle. How come my dog don't bark when you come around?
	1:09pm Alex In Illinois: I saw Howard Tate live in Chicago once.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: I just have a way with dogs.
	1:09pm melinda: Bonnie Raitt covered Ain't Nobody Home on Streetlights & until now that was the only version I knew, nice to hear the earlier one. I assume it's the original.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: It is. And I really like Bonnie's version. I like all of her early work and some of her very late stuff.
	1:12pm efd: When I interviewed Jerry Shirley he told me that "(If You Think You're) Groovy" was the best three minutes of Kenney Jones drumming ever recorded.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: I do not know about that. I mean...I believe he said it. Let me run through "Five Guys Walked Into A Bar" and get back to you.
	1:15pm chromaphone: Bonnie's first album is so great. I wish she stuck with that raw production style. I wonder if there are any good live recordings of her early years.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Her version of "Too Long at the Fair" is one of my favorite things ever.
	1:18pm Doug Schulkind: Mondo Cane!
	1:20pm melinda: I'll have to look that one up U.M. Her version of That Song About the Midway was also another I heard before the original and it's my favorite on that album.
	1:20pm Parq: I actually remember commercials for the Mondo Cane films on local top forty radio in the mid 60s. Just try imagine something like that on today's Clearchannel robots.
	1:21pm Dean: This Alphonso tune reminds me of a special compilation, 5 CDs, made for me by a friend, consisting of a bazillion recordings, mostly LP transcriptions, featuring organ, usually B3. Stuff like Greg Rolie with Santana, Felix Cavaliere, etc. He called it "Organ Spankers." I contribute this comment only so I can write "organ spankers."
	1:22pm chromaphone: Song about the Midway is so great, and much better than the original.
	1:27pm listener james from westwood: El-Bakkar plays a role in WFMU-obsession history: his "Haun Meelee" was the track over which the "Corn Weenie"guy sang in that infamous bit of 365 Days Project found sound.
	1:27pm still b/p: Oh, dear, oh,dear...the sights they'd put with the sounds... www.discogs.com...
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: This is some fine organ spanking too.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been listening...
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Welcome Interstate Managers and Lurkers!
	1:28pm listener james from westwood: Mmmmm ... Mansfield.
	1:29pm efd: o hai McNichols!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: heh
	1:47pm still b/p: I was singing along loudly and half-assedly with Bobby Darin's version of More yesterday while driving Maine's back roads.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Would you call his recording "definitive?"
	1:52pm still b/p: Well, I'd call it Bobby Darin definitive -- there are too many flavors and moods and diverting treatments, as we're hearing here today, to elevate any one version to big D status.
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Yes, "More" really is a canvas upon which anything is possible.
	1:55pm still b/p: Mondo Canvas.
	1:56pm Jeff Golick: I'm a long-time Bob lover but I've never been able to get with these duos.
	1:57pm Jeff Golick: I'll see myself out.
	1:57pm Uncle Michael: If you can't say anything nice...make yourself at home.
	1:59pm Mike East: I love this Dylan and Cash, cuz its like they didn't rehearse it or even discuss what words they would sing or how they would phrase it. Just hit record and we'll wing it
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: That's what I hear too. For better or worse...
	2:00pm Lane Gray: The sense the Good Lord gave a Ent?
	🛒 2:00pm Brian in UK: That seems to be the way Dylan works. Probably since working with The Band, they could handle it.
	🛒 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - huh - I was thinking how well their voices worked together - both resonant of such Legacies...but harmony singer is not among Bob's chief gifts I suppose...
	2:01pm Rick from SC: I'm lovin' the Wings!
	2:01pm still b/p: Bruno Mars singing that hash-of-borrowings Uptown Funk You Up sounds like Joe Tex here and there in it.
	🛒 2:02pm Brian in UK: Emmylou Dylan he ain't.
	2:02pm Spaceman One: I liked Buddy too!
	2:02pm Konin: Uncle and all! Glad to be in.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Welcome Rick and Konin. I'm with you Spaceman!
	2:03pm Goyim in the AM: I have not heard this song since I was about 10 years old, and I swear I know every word and note. EERIE. I think an older sibling must have had London Town on heavy rotation.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: This might be my favorite of these Wings songs today.
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's 'Mozambique' Bob manages...
	2:05pm Jeff Golick: @Mike East: I hear that, too...and wouldn't ordinarily mind it...though find the two of them too far apart (in conception, or something) to have it work for me.
	2:05pm Goyim in the AM: Yeah, it's a good song, which is probably why it lodged in the ol' noggin so completely.
	🛒 2:05pm Brian in UK: Wherever you are in China it is Beijing time.
	2:05pm Konin: I just realize how days are always new here to me. This world can seem so grey and old to me but here it's always fresh. Kinda sweet...
	2:07pm Konin: I'll get mi coat.
	2:08pm Mike East: @Jeff - can be a divisive track. my bro in law owns EVERY Dylan album and that track makes him cringe
	2:08pm hyde: i come in on the pro side for Dylan/Cash. My gf doesn't like it at all.
	🛒 2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what stood out to me was how different Bob's voice was in that period - evidence of how he changes voices, gestures, personas so utterly...
	2:09pm hyde: it even divides households!
	🛒 2:09pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I love Dylan in that song, can't stand Cash. I know, I'm a philistine. I never had any use for Wings but have to admit I'm liking all of these songs. Live and learn.
	2:10pm melinda: I've always liked the unrehearsed quality of Girl from the North Country.
	2:11pm still b/p: The two familiar very contrasting voices make it interesting to the ear in the unslick progress of it..."Hey, you got Dylan in my Cash!" "You got Cash in my Dylan!" Two great tastes that semi-grope great together.
	2:13pm 67tele: jimmy mcculloch also sang on Medicine Jar and Wino Junko...
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Those are the two that I'm not playing today.
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Because I've played 'em before...several times...
	2:17pm V Priceless: Nice Kinky sounds! Yay!
	2:18pm melinda: @still b/p: well put.
	2:18pm V Priceless: goes well with your swirling road, UM!
	🛒 2:18pm Brian in UK: Found myself singing!! Don't You Fret an early Kinks songs, the other day. No idea where it drifted in from.
	2:18pm Parq: The near-atonal croaking of Bob and Johnny on "true -- lov-v-v-ve -- of-f-f-f" is one of the most vivid memories of my adolescence. I got that album from the local library. I actually picture my childhood bedroom whenever I hear that passage.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: I picture your childhood bedroom too, Parq.
	2:20pm Parq: You have my sympathies.
	🛒 2:21pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I remember this Bobby Gentry song! Very risque!
	2:22pm melinda: Bobbie! I was hoping the Fancy theme would lead to this one.
	2:26pm Alex In Illinois: Dang! Bobbie Gentry's songwriting is amazing. I had not heard that one before, and I was hanging on to every word.
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Yep, she wrote it.
	2:27pm Parq: Yeh, that is a terrific little number, ain't it?
	2:36pm listener james from westwood: Bobbie Gentry has numerous entries in my growing-up "You can DO that in a song?!" playlist. Presley's "In the Ghetto" is another, as is "Sympathy for the Devil." Just perfect, paradigm-shifting unities of tune and storytelling my young self hadn't thought possible.
	2:36pm melinda: Gilbert O'Sullivan sounds like a pseudonym.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: That should be your DJ premium, James.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Raymond Edward O'Sullivan
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: He refers to himself as Uncle Ray in "Claire."
	2:42pm Goyim in the AM: It's good that I have an electric oven, 'cause this Nilsson song makes we wanna stick my head in it. (In a good way.)
	2:42pm still b/p: I appreciate the unflowery, uninflated clarity of this from O'Sullivan: "I write pop songs. End of story. That's all I wanted to do. That's all I want to do. And that's all I continue to want to do. I have no interest in just touring, and living in the past."
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: That's pretty cool.
	2:44pm listener james from westwood: @UM: It would be quite a mix!
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Don't hear this Beach Boy tune much (if ever), really nice.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: GDTR's DJ Flash Strap inspired that selection.
	2:49pm Sean B.: I love Carls voice. Just watched Love And Mercy last night. Giamatti as Landry? Forgettaboutit!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: I love carl's voice too...but that was Dennis.
	🛒 2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @still b/p: - that's just what I was thinking listening to that Gilbert: it's kinda singer-songwriter, but it's Pop - & we love it. @doctorjazz: When working @ a CD store, somebody just left a beat-up disc from the green Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations' boxed set - no case or anything. So I know that tune. Love when music enters yer life like that...It's a good boxed set, apparently!...
	2:52pm Sean B.: ? Thought it was on second thought.hope all is well mike.The book was better though. The autobiography
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: All is well, Sean. How are you?
	2:54pm Sean B.: Good.just checking in enjoying the music.
	🛒 2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...actually that boxed set is probably woody colored - whatever...
	2:55pm ndbob: Indeed LJFW - took me quite a while to appreciate Bobbie
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Every Friday at 3:01pm it's like falling off a cliff. @Doug, if you're reading these comments, how about we get a new show for 3-6 or whatnot...?
	2:58pm chromaphone: Great idea Jeff
	🛒 2:58pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Uncle. @Jeff G it is a bit different here at eight o'clock.
	2:59pm Jeff Golick: Ah, yes, @Brian, I suppose it is on to the dinner hour and weekend-y pursuits. Still have some daylight to deal with here in the States.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: But Jeff, then I'll have to finish on time!
	3:00pm Jeff Golick: (Doesn't seem to stop Doug, @UM.)
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Imagine a 24/7 schedule and no one finishing on time.
	🛒 3:03pm Brian in UK: If everyone does it, it is the same thing. To the kitchen, Jeeves.
	3:03pm Jeff Golick: You've pretty much described my life, right there.
	3:03pm still b/p: Stephen Stills auditioned when The Monkees were being assembled, but no get. He played some guitar on that Long Title track. Dreams can come true.
	3:04pm sean b.: You listen to Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands by Dylan. Thats where that song came from
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for spending precious time, friends.
	3:05pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:06pm doctorjazz: Would be nice to have something after 3PM, agree with the "falling off a cliff".Well, I was away last week, 2 shows to catch up with...
	🛒 3:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Um - 'specially for the pickled egg tavern weepers.
	3:07pm chromaphone: The end of Long, long, long used to really creep me out when I was a kid
	3:09pm listener james from westwood: @doctorjazz: You never know—4 weeks ago we didn't have Kim or Mayuko on the roster! What might autumn bring? For the moment, 3 pm is often my Nick Name archive session. @UM: Many thanks for the fine show and for the returns to Wings throughout! It was like a chorus in a Greek play. (A happy Greek play. Too many of them end with blindness and madness and pissed-off Olympians.) A fine weekend to all!!
	3:10pm V Priceless: thanks, Unc! Have a fun holiday
	3:10pm Parq: Today got of to one lousy start. Never mind why, but I really needed some quiet time with good music and snappy conversation. Thanks, all.
	3:14pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Uncle Michael!
