Listener comments!
	10:33am Uncle Michael: I'm pretty sure the toggling of the animation will fail and the image will re-animate each time the playlist is updated or you post a comment...but we'll see.
	11:46am Doug Schulkind: It's working for me.
	11:50am Uncle Michael: I think it will reanimate for you each time I add to the playlist.
	12:00pm duke: In other news, giant birds spotted in city.
	🛒 12:01pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Just wanted you to know that "Leaving the Straight Life Behind" has been playing in my head 24/7 since last week. I hope this week's show will flush it out.
	12:01pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:02pm Alex In Illinois: Giant Gulls! Just think how much trash one of those could clean up! Wait-a-minute, if it eats a lot that means that is also . . . ohh ... never mind. No, that won't make the city cleaner at all.
	12:04pm Stanley: Wait a minute....
	12:04pm 67tele: Hi y'all! Im feelin pretty good but I suspect I might be a rudy poop...
	12:05pm doctorjazz: And a good afternoon to all!
	12:06pm Alex In Illinois: I have not seen anything wrong with the gif's behavior. It keeps cycling as usually, and the playlist was updated.
	🛒 12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...every instinct says giant gulls are huge trouble...may he keep walking on...
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: DOUG-DUKE-LIZZIE-BOB-ALEX-STANLEY-TELE-DOC!
	12:06pm hyde: happy friday, friends
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: REV-HYDE!
	12:07pm hyde: australia sure has some weird wildlife
	12:08pm still b/p: If that gull wants my french fries....or my Toyota truck...I'm givin' 'em up right quick.
	12:09pm Stanley: The newsreader gives me the creeps. I'd sooner be friends with the bird.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: STILL B/P!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to run out of exclamation points.
	12:11pm Stanley: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's a few more for ya!
	12:12pm Dean: Weird, but true: there's a Genesis song about pigeons that begins with the lyric, "Who put fifty tons of shit on the Foreign Office roof?"
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: DEAN!
	12:13pm doctorjazz: So, in case anyone HAS to know, on my computer the toggle works and stays put after new comments, but restarts with updates of the playlist. And, I'm not messing with that bird!
	12:14pm Dean: Ah! You startled me. Red Norvo, Red Rodney, and Red Mitchell should have combined to do a tribute to Communism.
	🛒 12:14pm Brian in UK: I fear the newsreaders' head will explode and 'Donald J Trump says' will appear. Be afraid of people who speak in the third person.
	12:15pm still b/p: Frankie Dundee and the Four Opposite Seasons: Big gulls, they ain't shy-eye-eye, they ain't shy...
	12:15pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M and Dinkers!
	12:16pm Dominick: Must look into this!
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: BRIAN-VP-DOMINICK!
	12:17pm Stanley: Lowell at his 'punk' best, I see.
	12:19pm doctorjazz: Happy Cha-Nu-kah!
	12:21pm Parq: Question: Is Tom Jones the coolest white guy ever? Answer: Uh, did we mention this is Tom Jones we're talking about?
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Him or Wayne Kramer... PARQ!
	12:22pm still b/p: Ladies in the crowd throwing their headlamps and lunchpails on stage at Tom.
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: UM - let's have that collab stats...
	🛒 12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho' we couldn't have said that in '68...
	12:27pm Flash Strap: hey uncle
	12:28pm Stanley: Woo hoo Thank you, UM. I'll give the usual tranquillisers a miss this year.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: FLASH!
	12:31pm Doug Schulkind: Maybe this: Ray Linn (trumpet) Dexter Gordon (tenor saxophone) Jimmy Giuffre (tenor, alto saxophone) Red Norvo (vibraphone) Dodo Marmarosa (piano) Barney Kessel (guitar) Red Callender (bass) Jackie Mills (drums) Shorty Rogers (arranger) b/w Bop (Capital, 1947)
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Cool, where did you find that listed?
	12:34pm still b/p: I forgot that Two Doors Down was a Dolly thing.
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: I love the Flintstone feet bongos on this hank Snow track.
	12:38pm V Priceless: Dr. Feelgood - great!
	12:38pm Listener Robert: You could always stick a microphone by the washer, dryer, or other appliances. "Realities"!
	12:40pm Jess: Roody-poo
	12:41pm V Priceless: woo!
	12:41pm Sue P.: There's a lot of high-risk deejay activity happening on today's program.
	🛒 12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Know what? Points for acknowledging (so we know dead air is not our ComCast account come due or something) ...& for not spewing endless nervous self-conscious prattle drawing more attention to the awkwardness & then how awkward that is - &tc. &tc. &tc. - as if you were unaware that a bunch of people were actually out here listening. Say no more.
	12:42pm Alex In Illinois: I would still much rather listen to this show with all of the pauses than any commercial radio station.
	12:43pm Rich in Washington: I was once waiting to do a substitution DJ spot w/a DJ on before me whose show I'd never heard before/didn't know - and he would play one side of a 45, flip it over & cue the other side and play it, really slowly - not at all gracefully. Apparently had been doing this forever.
	12:43pm hyde: when you work without a net, sometimes you just hit the sawdust
	12:45pm Sue P.: @Rich in Washington - I accept that as a deejay style choice.
	12:45pm V Priceless: stream still not 100% since FMU facelift...
	12:46pm still b/p: A performing friend of mine believes in and enforces a philosophy/policy of "just keep going" when error occurs -- quick acknowledgement, if any, and move on. No rigamarole, no silly or abject spotlighting of it, no delay.
	12:48pm Dominick: I've had not one issue with the 128k stream on iTunes for the last 2 months.
	12:48pm doctorjazz: More Fat White Family, please!
	12:48pm frenchee: I'm enjoying your show, Uncle M! I thought this fat white family song was a Meat Puppets offshoot.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Is that how I handled it, still b/p?
	12:49pm Alex In Illinois: I would not even mind any nervous prattle. Of course, if it were me, I would not be able to stop myself from prattling, so I would prattle to the audience like this: " okay .. . almost . ... just a another moment here ... sorry ... oopsydaisy! ... okay here we go everyone!"
	12:51pm hyde: @still b/p haha. when i drummed in a lounge band composed mostly of people who couldn't play their instruments, that was the band leader's one direction to me: "no matter what happens, just keep going".
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Alex: If you actually gave funny play-by-play, or something (all depends). Sometimes people just dig a hole deeper & deeper, tho'...
	12:52pm V Priceless: hey...we got two Dr. Feelgood tunes out of the tech prob...I would consider lobbying for more tech probs if DF was the 'go to' back-up plan. : )
	12:53pm still b/p: I say yes, UM, but have to ask her. She also does a DJ shift on community radio and occasionally lets a quiet moment happen as she regroups or straightens out a cue mishap, or asks listeners to talk among themselves.
	12:55pm Sue P.: hey @V Priceless - I find that using the streaming links on the actual DJ playlist page seems to work like the old days (as opposed to the links from the homepage which have been glitchy for me sometimes). If that helps at all.
	12:56pm Listener Robert: What bothers me most of all is how Rich Conaty apparently dumps his flubs on WFUV, straight into his laughing & denigrating a flub we didn't even get to hear.
	12:57pm V Priceless: thanks, Sue P. - will try that!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Apologies to all I failed to properly welcome during the mishegas.
	1:00pm Rich in Washington: We just had a tornado here in the NW. A pretty rare occurrence for here.
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Well, I can't top that.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: It ripped right through my childhood hometown, in fact.
	1:02pm V Priceless: @ Sue P. - definitely works! Pop Up even updates in real time, which main page link doesn't do yet. Cool - thanks!
	1:03pm Doug Schulkind: I really don't think he's going back to Georgia.
	🛒 1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: iTunes stream just fine here fwiw.
	1:08pm Lane Gray: Dang Christmas shipping season. Running three hours late
	1:08pm still b/p: One of my favorite appearances of the term, from The Apartment -- a woman says to Jack Lemmon outside his building, "Some weather we're having. Must be from all the meshugass at Cape Canaveral."
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Personally, when I'm not using the app, I use the links from TuneIn on my devices.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Yes, that Jane Powell.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Hey Lane! And Rich, Robert, Sue, frenchee, Jess!
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: The Archers. The longest running soap on radio or any format.
	1:16pm holland oats: silent majority here - great show as per always n such UM
	1:17pm Lane Gray: You mean there are two Topekans who listen to The Archers? Heh
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Who's the other one?
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Holland!
	1:21pm Lane Gray: Some steel playing trucker
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Yeah but who's the other one?
	1:23pm holland oats: this song is fantastic
	1:24pm still b/p: Here the Least Useful Palindrome for today: Evil snake pot Topekans live.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I wish I understood the words.
	1:24pm Doug Schulkind: Sit on a potato pan, Otis.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Love this Frente Cumbiero track. Getting me moving!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: I'm just beginning to delve into this sort of rich gumbo...there's so much going on in these tracks.
	1:30pm frenchee: TRIPINDIUCLARITO Piranas track, UM!
	1:34pm still b/p: Checked a different version of Guaracha U.F.O on the YouTubes,and the animation and effects are mind buh-LOWING!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: The Meridian Brothers haven't put a foot wrong.
	1:45pm northguineahills: Mallard, not to be confused w/ Mother Mallard, although they operated around the same time.
	1:45pm Lane Gray: Still, what about:A man, a plan, a canoe, pasta, heros, rajahs, a coloratura, maps, snipe, percale, macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan, a tag, a banana bag again (or a camel), a crepe, pins, Spam, a rut, a Rolo, cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal--Panama!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: That's my shopping list. Did you hack my phone?
	1:49pm Alex In Illinois: I took a class from a former Mother Mallard member.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: What was the class?
	1:52pm Alex In Illinois: Electronic Music 101: Analog. Linda Fisher was the teacher. One of the other Students was Alan Licht.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: What a great band, Television!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: So is this thing that allows you to stop the animation worth it, considering it doesn't remain frozen...or is it kind of worthless?
	1:54pm northguineahills: Wow, Alex!
	1:58pm Alex In Illinois: Well, it seems like it can freeze it only at one spot. So, if you want to freeze a gif to try to figure out what is happening at a certain place of your choosing, then it can't help you.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: It actually is swapping a still for the animation. This page has to frequently reload. I'm not sure this is the best solution.
	🛒 2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm...these guys might be from a tougher neighborhood than the yARdbiRdS...I think that Art School guitarist w/ the huge nose is stoned though...
	2:02pm Dean: You want a GIF cost/benefit analysis? I haven't been available to hear any on-air discussion until just now. What's the problem to which it's a solution?
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Some people would prefer no animated gifs.
	2:13pm Doug Schulkind: Jason Heyward is a Cub.
	2:14pm Guido from Cologne: guten Abend aus dem städtele
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: WOW!
	2:15pm Dean: Ah, the risk of distraction or nausea. You could swap default states, static by default, animated on toggle. Then listeners who want the animation will have to reactivate it.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's what it does right now. The problem is the continual refreshing of the playlist page. It reverts back to the original state each refresh.
	2:19pm Dean: Right, but make the original state the static jpg. Make animation fans work for the action.
	2:22pm Dean: I think the script would look like this: <img id="jpg" onclick="swapImage('jpg', 'http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/HD/20151211.jpg' , 'http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/HD/20151211.gif' )"src= "http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/HD/20151211.jpg" title="" alt="jpg"/>
	2:23pm Doug Schulkind: Dashing off to work. If you're still going strong at 11pm, Michael, I'll tune in!
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Yeah Dean, that's a minor edit. It may be the way to go.
	🛒 2:25pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: If I had a hi-fi...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Boogie in place!
	2:26pm Sue P.: Jungle Boogie, one of my all-time faves.
	2:28pm ndbob: great segue here UM!
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: Really? Thanks...it worried me.
	2:32pm doctorjazz: Sing it, Bessie! Days are Lonesome, nights are long, indeed.
	2:35pm doctorjazz: Another fine show, UM! Getting to the home stretch.
	2:37pm still b/p: Burl Ives has got a Ham and Eggs song....and Doug's gone...
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: hah
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey HinkyDinkyLand. Loving the show, BooBoos & all, Unc.Glad you're gonna be our holidays guy.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Thank Kevin!
	2:40pm doctorjazz: Liked the Jared Lekites track, not a familiar name, music up my alley (at least the track), have to check him out on Bandcamp)
	2:44pm ndbob: yep Hoagy UM
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: jaredlekites.bandcamp.com...
	2:49pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the link UM.
	🛒 2:51pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: What an astonishingly rocking Moody Blues song!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: My pleasure Doc. Right, Lizzie?
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Here's The Lunar Laugh: thelunarlaugh.com

	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thank you. take care everyone.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 11, 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.

	12:38pm V Priceless: Dr. Feelgood - great!
	12:38pm Listener Robert: You could always stick a microphone by the washer, dryer, or other appliances. "Realities"!
	12:40pm Jess: Roody-poo
	12:41pm V Priceless: woo!
	12:41pm Sue P.: There's a lot of high-risk deejay activity happening on today's program.
	🛒 12:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Know what? Points for acknowledging (so we know dead air is not our ComCast account come due or something) ...& for not spewing endless nervous self-conscious prattle drawing more attention to the awkwardness & then how awkward that is - &tc. &tc. &tc. - as if you were unaware that a bunch of people were actually out here listening. Say no more.
	12:42pm Alex In Illinois: I would still much rather listen to this show with all of the pauses than any commercial radio station.
	12:43pm Rich in Washington: I was once waiting to do a substitution DJ spot w/a DJ on before me whose show I'd never heard before/didn't know - and he would play one side of a 45, flip it over & cue the other side and play it, really slowly - not at all gracefully. Apparently had been doing this forever.
	12:43pm hyde: when you work without a net, sometimes you just hit the sawdust
	12:45pm Sue P.: @Rich in Washington - I accept that as a deejay style choice.
	12:45pm V Priceless: stream still not 100% since FMU facelift...
	12:46pm still b/p: A performing friend of mine believes in and enforces a philosophy/policy of "just keep going" when error occurs -- quick acknowledgement, if any, and move on. No rigamarole, no silly or abject spotlighting of it, no delay.
	12:48pm Dominick: I've had not one issue with the 128k stream on iTunes for the last 2 months.
	12:48pm doctorjazz: More Fat White Family, please!
	12:48pm frenchee: I'm enjoying your show, Uncle M! I thought this fat white family song was a Meat Puppets offshoot.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Is that how I handled it, still b/p?
	12:49pm Alex In Illinois: I would not even mind any nervous prattle. Of course, if it were me, I would not be able to stop myself from prattling, so I would prattle to the audience like this: " okay .. . almost . ... just a another moment here ... sorry ... oopsydaisy! ... okay here we go everyone!"
	12:51pm hyde: @still b/p haha. when i drummed in a lounge band composed mostly of people who couldn't play their instruments, that was the band leader's one direction to me: "no matter what happens, just keep going".
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Alex: If you actually gave funny play-by-play, or something (all depends). Sometimes people just dig a hole deeper & deeper, tho'...
	12:52pm V Priceless: hey...we got two Dr. Feelgood tunes out of the tech prob...I would consider lobbying for more tech probs if DF was the 'go to' back-up plan. : )
	12:53pm still b/p: I say yes, UM, but have to ask her. She also does a DJ shift on community radio and occasionally lets a quiet moment happen as she regroups or straightens out a cue mishap, or asks listeners to talk among themselves.
	12:55pm Sue P.: hey @V Priceless - I find that using the streaming links on the actual DJ playlist page seems to work like the old days (as opposed to the links from the homepage which have been glitchy for me sometimes). If that helps at all.
	12:56pm Listener Robert: What bothers me most of all is how Rich Conaty apparently dumps his flubs on WFUV, straight into his laughing & denigrating a flub we didn't even get to hear.
	12:57pm V Priceless: thanks, Sue P. - will try that!
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: Apologies to all I failed to properly welcome during the mishegas.
	1:00pm Rich in Washington: We just had a tornado here in the NW. A pretty rare occurrence for here.
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Well, I can't top that.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: It ripped right through my childhood hometown, in fact.
	1:02pm V Priceless: @ Sue P. - definitely works! Pop Up even updates in real time, which main page link doesn't do yet. Cool - thanks!
	1:03pm Doug Schulkind: I really don't think he's going back to Georgia.
	🛒 1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: iTunes stream just fine here fwiw.
	1:08pm Lane Gray: Dang Christmas shipping season. Running three hours late
	1:08pm still b/p: One of my favorite appearances of the term, from The Apartment -- a woman says to Jack Lemmon outside his building, "Some weather we're having. Must be from all the meshugass at Cape Canaveral."
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Personally, when I'm not using the app, I use the links from TuneIn on my devices.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Yes, that Jane Powell.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Hey Lane! And Rich, Robert, Sue, frenchee, Jess!
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: The Archers. The longest running soap on radio or any format.
	1:16pm holland oats: silent majority here - great show as per always n such UM
	1:17pm Lane Gray: You mean there are two Topekans who listen to The Archers? Heh
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Who's the other one?
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Holland!
	1:21pm Lane Gray: Some steel playing trucker
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Yeah but who's the other one?
	1:23pm holland oats: this song is fantastic
	1:24pm still b/p: Here the Least Useful Palindrome for today: Evil snake pot Topekans live.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: I wish I understood the words.
	1:24pm Doug Schulkind: Sit on a potato pan, Otis.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Love this Frente Cumbiero track. Getting me moving!
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: I'm just beginning to delve into this sort of rich gumbo...there's so much going on in these tracks.
	1:30pm frenchee: TRIPINDIUCLARITO Piranas track, UM!
	1:34pm still b/p: Checked a different version of Guaracha U.F.O on the YouTubes,and the animation and effects are mind buh-LOWING!
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: The Meridian Brothers haven't put a foot wrong.
	1:45pm northguineahills: Mallard, not to be confused w/ Mother Mallard, although they operated around the same time.
	1:45pm Lane Gray: Still, what about:A man, a plan, a canoe, pasta, heros, rajahs, a coloratura, maps, snipe, percale, macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan, a tag, a banana bag again (or a camel), a crepe, pins, Spam, a rut, a Rolo, cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal--Panama!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: That's my shopping list. Did you hack my phone?
	1:49pm Alex In Illinois: I took a class from a former Mother Mallard member.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: What was the class?
	1:52pm Alex In Illinois: Electronic Music 101: Analog. Linda Fisher was the teacher. One of the other Students was Alan Licht.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: What a great band, Television!
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: So is this thing that allows you to stop the animation worth it, considering it doesn't remain frozen...or is it kind of worthless?
	1:54pm northguineahills: Wow, Alex!
	1:58pm Alex In Illinois: Well, it seems like it can freeze it only at one spot. So, if you want to freeze a gif to try to figure out what is happening at a certain place of your choosing, then it can't help you.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: It actually is swapping a still for the animation. This page has to frequently reload. I'm not sure this is the best solution.
	🛒 2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hm...these guys might be from a tougher neighborhood than the yARdbiRdS...I think that Art School guitarist w/ the huge nose is stoned though...
	2:02pm Dean: You want a GIF cost/benefit analysis? I haven't been available to hear any on-air discussion until just now. What's the problem to which it's a solution?
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Some people would prefer no animated gifs.
	2:13pm Doug Schulkind: Jason Heyward is a Cub.
	2:14pm Guido from Cologne: guten Abend aus dem städtele
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: WOW!
	2:15pm Dean: Ah, the risk of distraction or nausea. You could swap default states, static by default, animated on toggle. Then listeners who want the animation will have to reactivate it.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's what it does right now. The problem is the continual refreshing of the playlist page. It reverts back to the original state each refresh.
	2:19pm Dean: Right, but make the original state the static jpg. Make animation fans work for the action.
	2:22pm Dean: I think the script would look like this: <img id="jpg" onclick="swapImage('jpg', 'http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/HD/20151211.jpg' , 'http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/HD/20151211.gif' )"src= "http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/HD/20151211.jpg" title="" alt="jpg"/>
	2:23pm Doug Schulkind: Dashing off to work. If you're still going strong at 11pm, Michael, I'll tune in!
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Yeah Dean, that's a minor edit. It may be the way to go.
	🛒 2:25pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: If I had a hi-fi...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Boogie in place!
	2:26pm Sue P.: Jungle Boogie, one of my all-time faves.
	2:28pm ndbob: great segue here UM!
	2:29pm Uncle Michael: Really? Thanks...it worried me.
	2:32pm doctorjazz: Sing it, Bessie! Days are Lonesome, nights are long, indeed.
	2:35pm doctorjazz: Another fine show, UM! Getting to the home stretch.
	2:37pm still b/p: Burl Ives has got a Ham and Eggs song....and Doug's gone...
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: hah
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hey HinkyDinkyLand. Loving the show, BooBoos & all, Unc.Glad you're gonna be our holidays guy.
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: Thank Kevin!
