	12:02pm Jeff Golick: And awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay we go!
	12:03pm βrian: Is that a cyclone, there, in the middle of the Pacific?
	12:03pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:04pm Pedro G.: It must be Friday. I hear you Uncle Michael all the way from Topeka, Kansas.
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Hi all, round 2, in this corner...
	12:05pm Dominick: yes! C&F!
	12:05pm Lane Gray: Exceptional time today. Through Pennsylvania, AND West Virginia. In Ohio before Blossom started. Hey diddle diddle, y'all
	12:06pm βrian: Another couple months until fish fry season, when the smelt make their runs.
	12:06pm Alex In Illinois: βrian: I noticed that whirly storm thing too. A Typhoon, perhaps?
	12:08pm Parq: βrian: taking all standard "smelt" jokes as read.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: LANE ANNIE MAURI JEFF BRIAN BOB PEDRO DOCTOR DOM ALEX PARQ HELLO!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: By the by...the glitches are at my end and I'm trying to get that in hand.
	🛒 12:14pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Has some delicious Bream earlier in the week.
	🛒 12:14pm Brian in UK: Albert Hammond, a forgotten talent.
	🛒 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh! You Pritty Things...this is better than the Stones version...
	12:16pm Alex In Illinois: βrian: Is there a decent smelt population of smelt in those inland lakes in Madison?
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: Dashing off, Uncle Michael. Keep them platters spinnercizing!
	12:17pm βrian: But not Julian Bream.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: It is.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: REV! DOUG Take care my brother.
	12:18pm βrian: No smelt hereabouts, I don't think. But I imagine there are runs along northern Lake Michigan.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: I miss the dead alewives.
	12:21pm Stevel: From Topeka to Fort Wayne, hubs of American culture! Where HAVE all the alewives gone?
	12:22pm βrian: Alewives in beer batter, of course.
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Did they follow the Entwives? @UM: If I my ask: Are you still involved w/ Psychedelicized Radio? The new royalty rates law has done got serious on webcasters & they're going down. Psychedelic Jukebox is off...
	12:23pm Tate: Yes, I get to listen again this week...been too long
	12:24pm Alex In Illinois: βrian: Yes, Lake Michigan, and the other Great Lakes. My father-in-law told me of how when he was a kid, they would go over to the Lake side and catch a bunch, and fry them up for dinner or a pre-dinner snack.
	12:24pm Parq: The Beau Brummels were immortalized in "The Flintstones", where they were animated in an adorable clockwork segment. What higher tribute could there be? PS. I am stuck on my strangely Orwelian work puter. Could someone post the Youtube of that segment, please?
	🛒 12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @UM: (You need not address that here & now if you prefer not. I feel like making a stink tho'...) Beau Brummelstones. Yessir. I'll find it...
	12:26pm Parq: "Never read the comments" is excellent advice.
	🛒 12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.youtube.com...
	12:27pm Rich in Washington: I always call reading the comments to news stories as 'turning over the rock'. I don't do it unless my constitution's up for it. It's often enraging or depressing to know there's such moronic people in the world.
	12:27pm βrian: Smelt tempura with a nice hot/sweet/sour dipping sauce. Mmmm.
	🛒 12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this might be more genuine audio: www.youtube.com...
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: STEVE TATE RICH HELLO!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Rev, I am not involved but still friendly with them. I'll ask.
	12:31pm Alex In Illinois: I agree about reading comments to new stories. If I do, I take caution not to get drawn in. After one article in a Oregon news organization's site about those armed guys that took over the bird sanctuary, there were actually a lot more intelligent ones than usual though.
	12:31pm ndbob: @Rich indeed
	12:33pm johnk77: @um if u mean here comes the night i haven't read it either but its on my wish list and i did talk extensively to the author joel selvin in the late seventies several times 1 of the smartest writers on music i had met up til that point and then the pop/rock critic for the sf chronicle
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: That's the one, John.
	12:35pm Pedro G.: If a young person ever wanted to know what a real disc jockey sounded like, I would take her phone and stream Uncle Michael.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeez Pedro...I'm hardly worthy...but thank you!
	12:38pm holland oats: Revenge of the killer Bs!
	12:38pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Unintentional and about to end! VP! HOLLAND!
	12:38pm βrian: (He was a humble rooty-poot, mind you.)
	12:41pm Parq: "Colin Blunstone" may be the most English name I've ever heard.
	12:41pm Webhamster Henry: I mentioned the Hut Sut song somewhere just the other day!
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: HENRY!
	12:42pm Parq: Great version of "Hut Sut". Anyone remember it appearing in a Termite Terrace version of Horton Hatches an Egg?
	🛒 12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& if Colin went on the Flintstones - he's name-ready...
	12:44pm Webhamster Henry: @Parq .. i was just going to post that .. a great running gag!
	12:44pm Dominick: So is Sly
	12:50pm Lane Gray: Parq, one of my neighborhood kids had an even Englisher Englisher name: Wellstood Tipton.
	12:51pm johnk77: audio level on the stream just dropped here maybe 6db down?;<
	12:52pm johnk77: found the audio problem on my end sorry:<
	12:53pm Lane Gray: John, are you plugging into an Android device? Once a day I have to approve higher volume
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Always appreciate the heads-up, John. LANE!
	12:54pm βrian: I once knew a Hilton Dyer III.
	12:55pm johnk77: @lane thanks yes it was android even jamaicans have english names Neville O'Riley Livingston
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: @Lane that is a new category. Charmingly English. Bertie Wooster does it for me. I know, fiction. Alright Vivian Stanshall.
	12:57pm Parq: As a kid, in attempt to make up an incredibly waspy name for a theater critic, I came up with "J. Holmstock Greenbriar".
	12:57pm Jeff Golick: Re names, there's this: www.theawl.com...
	12:57pm Dean: Henry VIII
	12:57pm ndbob: @Brian Yep - Bertie
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Leonard Pinth-Garnell
	12:58pm Alex In Illinois: I am actually understood that Fall number! I mean usually, I enjoy tunes by The Fall without actually consciously understanding them. Like Mark Smith is bypassing certain parts of my brain, speaking to parts that normally don't get the message directly.
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: @Parq the 'J' will always be an enigma.
	12:58pm Lane Gray: Mrs. Tipton had a decidedly midlands accent. Don't recall Mr. Tipton's voice. I believe he was attached to the British embassy (grew up in the DC suburbs)
	12:59pm Parq: @UM, 12:58 - that wasn't so good, was it?
	🛒 1:00pm Brian in UK: Strimblingham-Pumes was an invention of Peter Cook.
	1:00pm ndbob: great one here!
	🛒 1:01pm Brian in UK: @Alex that is what Mr Smith does.
	1:01pm Dean: Driving west on Wilshire Blvd. in LA I played a game with my passenger friend. Let's come up with a personal name drawn from the next two streets we pass. Those streets were Ridgeley and Hauser, cross-streets of Wilshire Ave. Ridgeley Hauser.
	🛒 1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Wellstood Tipton also has internal meaning contradiction (stood well on, but tipped)...
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: DEAN! I'll play as soon as this studio turns out of the driveway.
	1:04pm Dean: If I played in my neighborhood, the name would be Stannage Kains.
	🛒 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mark E. Smith claims he's a bit psychic.
	1:05pm Dean: Or Harrison Gilman.
	1:05pm Dean: Or Camelia Page.
	1:07pm Alex In Illinois: What about a name like Harrison Faulkner Chapman?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: This has to be a product of the Watergate gestalt.
	1:10pm Alex In Illinois: That is actually my cousin's name.
	1:11pm Dean: As was Deep Throat. Wait, was it the other way around?
	1:12pm Jeff Golick: If I played in my neighborhood, I could end up as Union President.
	1:15pm Lane Gray: In the neighborhood I grew up in, it'd be things like Wexford Halsey, Spruell Byrd, or Mitchell Dewey. (we'll see who knows the connection)
	1:17pm Dean: I don't know the connection, but Spruell Byrd is begging for a novel to be written about him/her.
	1:17pm Lane Gray: Stupid spellchecker. Mitcher, not Mitchell
	1:18pm Dean: It just occurred to me that the neighborhood where I grew up would produce Dicky Overest.
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: Weird. Was just listening to this record a day or two ago.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm past thinking that sort of thing is weird, Jeff.
	1:20pm Jeff Golick: As I commented on an earlier show, shrimp...plate...plate o'shrimp.
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: [Supporting document: www.youtube.com...
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: You eat a lot of acid, Golick, back in the hippie days?
	1:23pm holland oats: lurve
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: Music was my acid.
	1:24pm doctorjazz: The neighborhood I grew up in would have the name 54th and 11th.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Speaking of neighborhoods, staying out of the neighborhood The Machine Gun Co, is in.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: From 'Love is the Song We Sing' boxed set (more like a bitchen fancy yearbook...anyhow) : Recorded San Jose 11/66, single 3/67 Proof that truth is stranger than fiction is the fact that the bizarre, psych-inclined nugget 'SuzyCreamcheese' was recorded by a straighter-than-straight bunch of San Jose teens on a lark. & there are prob. few better examples of the convergence of old & new that the creative crucible of 1966/7 fostered. Based upon an apocryphal lyric line handed to singer Flores by a local hipster - @ the time, no one in the group had even heard of the Mothers or their 'Freak Out!' album - the group fashioned a chaotic, incoherent thrash full of bubbling feedback & toppling drumkit; as the late, great Greg Shaw of 'Who Put the Bomp!' described it, the Patches "took a Frank Zappa idea [&] added some 'Louie Louie' consciousness." Produced by local songwriter Gradie O'Neal in his new Tiki Sound Studios, w/ only the simplest of equipment, the rough-hewn yet charismatic "Suzy" still managed to top the charts in the South Bay upon release in May 1967...
	1:28pm Lane Gray: Every street in my neighborhood was an Allied Admiral (I think some were English, most Americans)
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Hey, thanks for that Rev!
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: LOOOOVE this Muddy tune.
	1:32pm Jeff Golick: What does it mean, though?
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: It means what it doesn't mean.
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whatever it is - Muddy say it, I darmn shor believes it...
	1:33pm Jeff Golick: What a single; the flip is also killer.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: Never heard that Muddy track, sounds different than the Muddy I'm used to , cool.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: That's what attracted me to it, Doc.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: More Wolf in the track...
	🛒 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Chess in 1967. Very interesting. Muddy perhaps not interested in conforming to imagined obligations to 'Country Blues'...
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...see point about the Wolf...
	1:38pm Pedro G.: Kurt Russell is dumb: reverb.com...
	1:40pm Dean: There's probably an audience for guitar destruction porn.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Why was that guitar on the set? There are no property masters anymore?
	1:42pm chromaphone: I'd rather watch Russell do that than have to sit through another Tarantino film.
	🛒 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Townshend in '67ish: Some fool from the BeeGees asked if I'd smash a Stradivarius. Of course not! But some assemblyline guitar I can get a better one tomorrow... Not an overabundance of guitars from the 19th Century...
	1:44pm Lane Gray: Ahh, early synthesizer. Wacky times. (I'm running late, but don't want to hit the ketchup button)
	1:44pm doctorjazz: love this 20's jazz, have an old Smithsonian collection of Keppard stuff, forgotten pioneer.
	1:46pm Dean: Yesterday I commented that Jimmy LaFave did a good version of John Waite's "Missing You." Today I'll add that Jimmy LaFave does a good version of "Oklahoma Hills," too.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: I don't know Mr. LaFave.
	🛒 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then again - a '67 Strat, possibly a pre-'65, pre-CBS Strat now... Pete some more: Do I regret ever smashing a guitar? Only once. I was in Detroit & picked up a 1950s Fender Strat in a pawn shop. I was sure it was Buddy Holly's. I felt like Buddy Holly playing it. Then some kid demanded I smash my guitar on stage. So - I smashed it on his fingers! I keep waiting for him to emerge & sue me. He probably should...
	1:49pm johnk77: @um great show, selecter @rrn63 that comp is great i happened to be reading the notes yesterday @doctorj several comments ago later today i head to work 55th between 11th and 12th
	1:50pm Dean: There was that time Segovia, after an encore of Albéniz's "Granada," smashed his axe and shouted, "Muchas gracias, Cleveland!"
	1:50pm Mike East: @johnk77 - sure you don't wanna call out sick? some real jokers comin in tonight been giving me the runaround all day. Beware.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Thanks John.
	🛒 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ah well - Andrés hadn't quite come to terms w/ the tone of non-catgut strings yet...the artistic temperament, yerknow...
	1:52pm βrian: This ZZ Top always reminds me of France.
	1:53pm chromaphone: This ZZ Top always reminds me of awesomeness.
	1:55pm βrian: The temptation, of course, is to say zed zed. Once corrected, it won't happen again.
	1:55pm johnk77: @mikeeast thanx for warning but i feel too good to stay home i do not know about the continent but in uk it is zed zed top
	🛒 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Zjay Zjay Tope' 'Alt' ?...
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: We have a winner. No more calls.
	1:59pm βrian: I'm not sure how long I could live in the 50s, were I to visit.
	2:00pm doctorjazz: Excited, going to hear Wilco and Bill Frisell in Brooklyn tonight!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Together?
	2:01pm Jeff Golick: This feels like a mash-up of "Only Have Eyes for You" and "Night & Day."
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: I love that the vocal groups dove so deeply into the standard repertoire.
	2:03pm doctorjazz: Frisell is opening for Wilco...wouldn't it be awesome if they did something together, though?
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Dollars to donuts they do. Both are really into collaborations.
	2:03pm doctorjazz: Nels Cline and Frisell???!!!
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This won't suck doc.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: You'll get that, Doc. Bank on it.
	2:05pm doctorjazz: From your mouth...
	2:06pm johnk77: bill frisell is one of the nicest guys on-stage and off usually very approachable frisell, motian and lovano were a pleasure to do sound for
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: report back next week.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: I saw the Motian/Lovano/Frisell band, and have those albums, what a group (did some quintet stuff to, "standards" on Broadway stuff. great!
	🛒 2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& - one of the most interesting living guitarists on Earth, no?
	2:09pm ndbob: really nice set here UM - particularly the five keys
	2:09pm ndbob: @johnk saw Frissel a couple times when I lived in Seattle
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DooWop kinda gets left out of the entire History too much, don't it?
	2:10pm Brian in kitchen: Good version of Stardust. Spanky and Our Gangs is a favourite. A playful group.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: We're missing Bill in a couple of weeks due to another concert commitment that weekend. Galactic with Trombone Shorty.
	2:11pm johnk77: @doctorj yes good times back in the day at the village vanguard @rrn63 yes bill is smooth and tasteful and a god of stompboxes:>
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. I'm gonna end this set strong.
	2:12pm ndbob: Always been a major doowop fan
	2:13pm doctorjazz: Frisell is one of the more original guitarists of the last few decades (though there are younger ones coming up that sound like Bill). He is one of those musical omnivores, will play any music (sort of like FMU)
	2:13pm ndbob: no one sounds like Jimmy Ricks!
	2:14pm doctorjazz: Galactic sounds like should be fun!
	2:18pm johnk77: anyone see the current billy gibbons tour? i had tix for nyc but was reallly sick tuesday here is a less than stellar review from the voice website http://www.villagevoice.com/music/billy-gibbons-solo-not-every-girl-is-crazy-for-this-sharp-dressed-man-8232340
	2:20pm SeanG: yeah PBR is rotgut
	2:21pm Rich in Washington: PBR was all the rage here in Pee Town. I think part of it is that it is so ubiquitous in dive bars, usually for a buck. And it's a beer you can drink all night without falling down. Myself, I always like it because of Frank Booth. I think PDX hipsters have moved on to local UR-beer Rainer.
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: But it does taste like something they'd dredged off the floor of a bowling alley's men's room. Call me nostalgic.
	2:22pm Lane Gray: PBR bites. Didn't Wynn Stewart or Skeets McDonald (an undeservedly forgotten guy) do feeling low?
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: I don't know.
	2:23pm Lane Gray: Hello, Rich
	2:24pm βrian: I heard they would sneak some really excellent English-style ales into the PBR cans, to preserve the aura without having to drink swill.
	2:25pm Lane Gray: PBR stickon labels...
	2:25pm βrian: Remember Stroh's? Fire-brewed in Detroit, Michigan.
	2:25pm doctorjazz: Show's going fast...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: My cheap American beer is Schlitz.
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: Hiyah, Lane!
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I used to buy Stroh's.
	2:26pm βrian: Jacques LaCan is on the other stream. Trying not to jump ship, here ...
	2:27pm Rich in Washington: I have a friend who's been swilling PBR tallboys for so long, he now drinks them from bags to hide his hipster shame. The portland hipster backlash thing is so funny, recursive, meta even.
	🛒 2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Prohibition is over, Murica : ...thin ricewater w/ a teabag of weak hops passed thru it does not a drinkable Beer make...Granted $1 is $1...
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I make a point of shaving as often as I have the fortitude to...
	2:35pm Rich in Washington: in portland anyway, I think it's this reactionary backlash against the brewpub culture, which is seen as being bourgeois middle class - it certainly is a huge thing here and sort of pretentious. The areas sort of a mecca of brewers with restaurants in them. So it's started this whole cheap domestic beer thing with hipster. Plus it's really cheap. But you have to drink eight or more of these piss-weak beers to get as loaded as you would drinking two craft beers.
	2:36pm βrian: I used to do quite a bit of home-brewing and was obsessed with beer. These days, I find the trendy new brews tedious. I've rediscovered wine.
	🛒 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...meaning - you spent eight bucks anyhow...
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: @βrian: me too. I never thought I'd become a (admittedly cheapish) wine snob, but there you are.
	🛒 2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hops is a depressant - wine has uppers...
	2:38pm doctorjazz: On the website-seem to have fixed the problems with the videos blocking access to the other shows. Also, the pop up player had this issue for the longest time, when a show ended, it would start to stutter. Hasn't happened past few days, no stutter, can just leave it on.
	2:38pm Dean: That's rich: hipsters finding brewpub culture pretentious! My experience with beer in PDX has been good. For a while I attended the huge festival on the river in late July. I'm not a festival kinda person, but I love the low-key vibe, the good fun, and the surprising infrequency of shitfaced drunkenness. This past year, however, was different. The beer was perhaps the best I've had, but the vibe seemed more forced. So, yeah, maybe the hipsters are right.
	2:38pm Alex In Illinois: Didn't PBR do something strange to people on South Park? Like cause them to commit acts of domestic violence and start building meth labs or something like that?
	2:39pm βrian: Adding a shipping container of hops to every batch is viewed as a daring innovation, leaving hundreds of years of master brewers in the dust. Hmm. Yawn.
	🛒 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What we need is Polka bars. It's not the Beer - it's the mise en scene...
	2:40pm βrian: @Alex: You mean it turned them into Canadians??
	2:41pm βrian: "Let's drop some polka dot and go to the polka bar."
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Shitty beer is why god invented tomato juice.
	2:43pm Brian in kitchen: Nice one Uncle. Two G & Ts one with lime , one with lemon and cucumber. Tangueray if poss. Chin chin.
	2:44pm βrian: Last summer, we made Bloody Marys with fresh tomato juice and aquavit. Daaaamn.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to try that cuke drink. Thanks Brian.
	2:45pm Lane Gray: I like this Fountains of Wayne
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I like tomato juice in crappy American beer. I'm an old tavern hound.
	2:46pm Parq: Never get tired of that FOW tune. Ever. They won a "Best New Artist" Grammy for that, their third album. Typical Grammy stupidity, but the album showed such maturity that it really was like they were a whole new group.
	2:46pm βrian: (Garnished with a dilly bean, I forgot to mention.)
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: That album flat knocked me on my ass and I still adore it.
	2:47pm βrian: Lord Grantham had a tomato-juice moment in a recent episode.
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: I was just gifted/bribed with some single malt Irish whiskey from a visiting Irish coworker. I am tempted to hoard it for myself but the missus knows I almost never buy whiskey.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: what's the name of it? I don't know single malt Irish
	2:50pm Rich in Washington: Clontarf. Ever hear of it? I haven't cracked the seal on it yet.
	2:50pm Rich in Washington: I don't know much about whiskey, Irish or otherwise.
	2:50pm doctorjazz: FOW, one of my faves.
	2:52pm Parq: I have a single malt Irish called Tyrconnell.
	2:53pm Parq: Rich, according to the Wikipedia page for Clontarf (yes, there is one), you got a pretty good present.
	2:54pm doctorjazz: FOW is one of the few "alternative" bands that likes to do some country style songs.
	2:55pm βrian: I had a Japanese single-malt once: Suntory. Very good.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Went to Scotland 2 summers ago, every block seems to have it's own Scotch.
	2:56pm johnk77: @um one of the best shows on any stream recently u rock selecter;>
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	🛒 2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FOW are PopSongwriting genius machines - plain & simple. Whiskey is good. Quick, warm, good for colds & pain. ...I feel it, tho': can write off moderate wine & even beer as relaxing & even healthy - but whisky takes back...
	2:57pm Mike East: was JUST talking about whisky, and how much I plan to drink tonight. My wife got me a nice bottle of Glennfiddich...blue
	2:57pm Mike East: its one of those days...
	2:58pm Rich in Washington: @Parq: I see they sell a blended version here in the US but I guess what he gave me is only available overseas. Cool!
	2:58pm βrian: Now, what is it that John Prine said about whisky?
	2:59pm Rich in Washington: Glennfiddich is wonderful. I prefer scotch to whiskey and it has the added benefit of my wife not really like Scotch. More for me!
	2:59pm βrian: I recall the Glennfiddich rail tankers when I was in Scotland. The trainspotters pointed them out.
	2:59pm Mike East: @Rich - same here!
	3:00pm doctorjazz: Fun show as usual, UM, great!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a great show, Uncle Michael!
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the great shoe!
	3:02pm doctorjazz: Plug for Jeff on Sunday...
	🛒 3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM. (I won't always be home to clog the comments...)
	3:04pm Parq: --ly Ballou, saying goodbye.
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone! Miss you all when you're not here in the comments!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 5, 2016

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.

	12:03pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:04pm Pedro G.: It must be Friday. I hear you Uncle Michael all the way from Topeka, Kansas.
	12:05pm doctorjazz: Hi all, round 2, in this corner...
	12:05pm Dominick: yes! C&F!
	12:05pm Lane Gray: Exceptional time today. Through Pennsylvania, AND West Virginia. In Ohio before Blossom started. Hey diddle diddle, y'all
	12:06pm βrian: Another couple months until fish fry season, when the smelt make their runs.
	12:06pm Alex In Illinois: βrian: I noticed that whirly storm thing too. A Typhoon, perhaps?
	12:08pm Parq: βrian: taking all standard "smelt" jokes as read.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: LANE ANNIE MAURI JEFF BRIAN BOB PEDRO DOCTOR DOM ALEX PARQ HELLO!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: By the by...the glitches are at my end and I'm trying to get that in hand.
	🛒 12:14pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Has some delicious Bream earlier in the week.
	🛒 12:14pm Brian in UK: Albert Hammond, a forgotten talent.
	🛒 12:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh! You Pritty Things...this is better than the Stones version...
	12:16pm Alex In Illinois: βrian: Is there a decent smelt population of smelt in those inland lakes in Madison?
	12:17pm Doug Schulkind: Dashing off, Uncle Michael. Keep them platters spinnercizing!
	12:17pm βrian: But not Julian Bream.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: It is.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: REV! DOUG Take care my brother.
	12:18pm βrian: No smelt hereabouts, I don't think. But I imagine there are runs along northern Lake Michigan.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: I miss the dead alewives.
	12:21pm Stevel: From Topeka to Fort Wayne, hubs of American culture! Where HAVE all the alewives gone?
	12:22pm βrian: Alewives in beer batter, of course.
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Did they follow the Entwives? @UM: If I my ask: Are you still involved w/ Psychedelicized Radio? The new royalty rates law has done got serious on webcasters & they're going down. Psychedelic Jukebox is off...
	12:23pm Tate: Yes, I get to listen again this week...been too long
	12:24pm Alex In Illinois: βrian: Yes, Lake Michigan, and the other Great Lakes. My father-in-law told me of how when he was a kid, they would go over to the Lake side and catch a bunch, and fry them up for dinner or a pre-dinner snack.
	12:24pm Parq: The Beau Brummels were immortalized in "The Flintstones", where they were animated in an adorable clockwork segment. What higher tribute could there be? PS. I am stuck on my strangely Orwelian work puter. Could someone post the Youtube of that segment, please?
	🛒 12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @UM: (You need not address that here & now if you prefer not. I feel like making a stink tho'...) Beau Brummelstones. Yessir. I'll find it...
	12:26pm Parq: "Never read the comments" is excellent advice.
	🛒 12:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.youtube.com...
	12:27pm Rich in Washington: I always call reading the comments to news stories as 'turning over the rock'. I don't do it unless my constitution's up for it. It's often enraging or depressing to know there's such moronic people in the world.
	12:27pm βrian: Smelt tempura with a nice hot/sweet/sour dipping sauce. Mmmm.
	🛒 12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this might be more genuine audio: www.youtube.com...
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: STEVE TATE RICH HELLO!
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Rev, I am not involved but still friendly with them. I'll ask.
	12:31pm Alex In Illinois: I agree about reading comments to new stories. If I do, I take caution not to get drawn in. After one article in a Oregon news organization's site about those armed guys that took over the bird sanctuary, there were actually a lot more intelligent ones than usual though.
	12:31pm ndbob: @Rich indeed
	12:33pm johnk77: @um if u mean here comes the night i haven't read it either but its on my wish list and i did talk extensively to the author joel selvin in the late seventies several times 1 of the smartest writers on music i had met up til that point and then the pop/rock critic for the sf chronicle
	12:35pm Uncle Michael: That's the one, John.
	12:35pm Pedro G.: If a young person ever wanted to know what a real disc jockey sounded like, I would take her phone and stream Uncle Michael.
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Jeez Pedro...I'm hardly worthy...but thank you!
	12:38pm holland oats: Revenge of the killer Bs!
	12:38pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: Unintentional and about to end! VP! HOLLAND!
	12:38pm βrian: (He was a humble rooty-poot, mind you.)
	12:41pm Parq: "Colin Blunstone" may be the most English name I've ever heard.
	12:41pm Webhamster Henry: I mentioned the Hut Sut song somewhere just the other day!
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: HENRY!
	12:42pm Parq: Great version of "Hut Sut". Anyone remember it appearing in a Termite Terrace version of Horton Hatches an Egg?
	🛒 12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& if Colin went on the Flintstones - he's name-ready...
	12:44pm Webhamster Henry: @Parq .. i was just going to post that .. a great running gag!
	12:44pm Dominick: So is Sly
	12:50pm Lane Gray: Parq, one of my neighborhood kids had an even Englisher Englisher name: Wellstood Tipton.
	12:51pm johnk77: audio level on the stream just dropped here maybe 6db down?;<
	12:52pm johnk77: found the audio problem on my end sorry:<
	12:53pm Lane Gray: John, are you plugging into an Android device? Once a day I have to approve higher volume
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Always appreciate the heads-up, John. LANE!
	12:54pm βrian: I once knew a Hilton Dyer III.
	12:55pm johnk77: @lane thanks yes it was android even jamaicans have english names Neville O'Riley Livingston
	🛒 12:55pm Brian in UK: @Lane that is a new category. Charmingly English. Bertie Wooster does it for me. I know, fiction. Alright Vivian Stanshall.
	12:57pm Parq: As a kid, in attempt to make up an incredibly waspy name for a theater critic, I came up with "J. Holmstock Greenbriar".
	12:57pm Jeff Golick: Re names, there's this: www.theawl.com...
	12:57pm Dean: Henry VIII
	12:57pm ndbob: @Brian Yep - Bertie
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Leonard Pinth-Garnell
	12:58pm Alex In Illinois: I am actually understood that Fall number! I mean usually, I enjoy tunes by The Fall without actually consciously understanding them. Like Mark Smith is bypassing certain parts of my brain, speaking to parts that normally don't get the message directly.
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: @Parq the 'J' will always be an enigma.
	12:58pm Lane Gray: Mrs. Tipton had a decidedly midlands accent. Don't recall Mr. Tipton's voice. I believe he was attached to the British embassy (grew up in the DC suburbs)
	12:59pm Parq: @UM, 12:58 - that wasn't so good, was it?
	🛒 1:00pm Brian in UK: Strimblingham-Pumes was an invention of Peter Cook.
	1:00pm ndbob: great one here!
	🛒 1:01pm Brian in UK: @Alex that is what Mr Smith does.
	1:01pm Dean: Driving west on Wilshire Blvd. in LA I played a game with my passenger friend. Let's come up with a personal name drawn from the next two streets we pass. Those streets were Ridgeley and Hauser, cross-streets of Wilshire Ave. Ridgeley Hauser.
	🛒 1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Wellstood Tipton also has internal meaning contradiction (stood well on, but tipped)...
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: DEAN! I'll play as soon as this studio turns out of the driveway.
	1:04pm Dean: If I played in my neighborhood, the name would be Stannage Kains.
	🛒 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mark E. Smith claims he's a bit psychic.
	1:05pm Dean: Or Harrison Gilman.
	1:05pm Dean: Or Camelia Page.
	1:07pm Alex In Illinois: What about a name like Harrison Faulkner Chapman?
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: This has to be a product of the Watergate gestalt.
	1:10pm Alex In Illinois: That is actually my cousin's name.
	1:11pm Dean: As was Deep Throat. Wait, was it the other way around?
	1:12pm Jeff Golick: If I played in my neighborhood, I could end up as Union President.
	1:15pm Lane Gray: In the neighborhood I grew up in, it'd be things like Wexford Halsey, Spruell Byrd, or Mitchell Dewey. (we'll see who knows the connection)
	1:17pm Dean: I don't know the connection, but Spruell Byrd is begging for a novel to be written about him/her.
	1:17pm Lane Gray: Stupid spellchecker. Mitcher, not Mitchell
	1:18pm Dean: It just occurred to me that the neighborhood where I grew up would produce Dicky Overest.
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: Weird. Was just listening to this record a day or two ago.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm past thinking that sort of thing is weird, Jeff.
	1:20pm Jeff Golick: As I commented on an earlier show, shrimp...plate...plate o'shrimp.
	1:22pm Jeff Golick: [Supporting document: www.youtube.com...
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: You eat a lot of acid, Golick, back in the hippie days?
	1:23pm holland oats: lurve
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: Music was my acid.
	1:24pm doctorjazz: The neighborhood I grew up in would have the name 54th and 11th.
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Speaking of neighborhoods, staying out of the neighborhood The Machine Gun Co, is in.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: From 'Love is the Song We Sing' boxed set (more like a bitchen fancy yearbook...anyhow) : Recorded San Jose 11/66, single 3/67 Proof that truth is stranger than fiction is the fact that the bizarre, psych-inclined nugget 'SuzyCreamcheese' was recorded by a straighter-than-straight bunch of San Jose teens on a lark. & there are prob. few better examples of the convergence of old & new that the creative crucible of 1966/7 fostered. Based upon an apocryphal lyric line handed to singer Flores by a local hipster - @ the time, no one in the group had even heard of the Mothers or their 'Freak Out!' album - the group fashioned a chaotic, incoherent thrash full of bubbling feedback & toppling drumkit; as the late, great Greg Shaw of 'Who Put the Bomp!' described it, the Patches "took a Frank Zappa idea [&] added some 'Louie Louie' consciousness." Produced by local songwriter Gradie O'Neal in his new Tiki Sound Studios, w/ only the simplest of equipment, the rough-hewn yet charismatic "Suzy" still managed to top the charts in the South Bay upon release in May 1967...
	1:28pm Lane Gray: Every street in my neighborhood was an Allied Admiral (I think some were English, most Americans)
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: Hey, thanks for that Rev!
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: LOOOOVE this Muddy tune.
	1:32pm Jeff Golick: What does it mean, though?
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: It means what it doesn't mean.
	🛒 1:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whatever it is - Muddy say it, I darmn shor believes it...
	1:33pm Jeff Golick: What a single; the flip is also killer.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: Never heard that Muddy track, sounds different than the Muddy I'm used to , cool.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: That's what attracted me to it, Doc.
	1:35pm doctorjazz: More Wolf in the track...
	🛒 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Chess in 1967. Very interesting. Muddy perhaps not interested in conforming to imagined obligations to 'Country Blues'...
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...see point about the Wolf...
	1:38pm Pedro G.: Kurt Russell is dumb: reverb.com...
	1:40pm Dean: There's probably an audience for guitar destruction porn.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Why was that guitar on the set? There are no property masters anymore?
	1:42pm chromaphone: I'd rather watch Russell do that than have to sit through another Tarantino film.
	🛒 1:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Townshend in '67ish: Some fool from the BeeGees asked if I'd smash a Stradivarius. Of course not! But some assemblyline guitar I can get a better one tomorrow... Not an overabundance of guitars from the 19th Century...
	1:44pm Lane Gray: Ahh, early synthesizer. Wacky times. (I'm running late, but don't want to hit the ketchup button)
	1:44pm doctorjazz: love this 20's jazz, have an old Smithsonian collection of Keppard stuff, forgotten pioneer.
	1:46pm Dean: Yesterday I commented that Jimmy LaFave did a good version of John Waite's "Missing You." Today I'll add that Jimmy LaFave does a good version of "Oklahoma Hills," too.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: I don't know Mr. LaFave.
	🛒 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then again - a '67 Strat, possibly a pre-'65, pre-CBS Strat now... Pete some more: Do I regret ever smashing a guitar? Only once. I was in Detroit & picked up a 1950s Fender Strat in a pawn shop. I was sure it was Buddy Holly's. I felt like Buddy Holly playing it. Then some kid demanded I smash my guitar on stage. So - I smashed it on his fingers! I keep waiting for him to emerge & sue me. He probably should...
	1:49pm johnk77: @um great show, selecter @rrn63 that comp is great i happened to be reading the notes yesterday @doctorj several comments ago later today i head to work 55th between 11th and 12th
	1:50pm Dean: There was that time Segovia, after an encore of Albéniz's "Granada," smashed his axe and shouted, "Muchas gracias, Cleveland!"
	1:50pm Mike East: @johnk77 - sure you don't wanna call out sick? some real jokers comin in tonight been giving me the runaround all day. Beware.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Thanks John.
	🛒 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ah well - Andrés hadn't quite come to terms w/ the tone of non-catgut strings yet...the artistic temperament, yerknow...
	1:52pm βrian: This ZZ Top always reminds me of France.
	1:53pm chromaphone: This ZZ Top always reminds me of awesomeness.
	1:55pm βrian: The temptation, of course, is to say zed zed. Once corrected, it won't happen again.
	1:55pm johnk77: @mikeeast thanx for warning but i feel too good to stay home i do not know about the continent but in uk it is zed zed top
	🛒 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Zjay Zjay Tope' 'Alt' ?...
	1:58pm Uncle Michael: We have a winner. No more calls.
	1:59pm βrian: I'm not sure how long I could live in the 50s, were I to visit.
	2:00pm doctorjazz: Excited, going to hear Wilco and Bill Frisell in Brooklyn tonight!
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Together?
	2:01pm Jeff Golick: This feels like a mash-up of "Only Have Eyes for You" and "Night & Day."
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: I love that the vocal groups dove so deeply into the standard repertoire.
	2:03pm doctorjazz: Frisell is opening for Wilco...wouldn't it be awesome if they did something together, though?
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Dollars to donuts they do. Both are really into collaborations.
	2:03pm doctorjazz: Nels Cline and Frisell???!!!
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This won't suck doc.
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: You'll get that, Doc. Bank on it.
	2:05pm doctorjazz: From your mouth...
	2:06pm johnk77: bill frisell is one of the nicest guys on-stage and off usually very approachable frisell, motian and lovano were a pleasure to do sound for
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: report back next week.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: I saw the Motian/Lovano/Frisell band, and have those albums, what a group (did some quintet stuff to, "standards" on Broadway stuff. great!
	🛒 2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& - one of the most interesting living guitarists on Earth, no?
	2:09pm ndbob: really nice set here UM - particularly the five keys
	2:09pm ndbob: @johnk saw Frissel a couple times when I lived in Seattle
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DooWop kinda gets left out of the entire History too much, don't it?
	2:10pm Brian in kitchen: Good version of Stardust. Spanky and Our Gangs is a favourite. A playful group.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: We're missing Bill in a couple of weeks due to another concert commitment that weekend. Galactic with Trombone Shorty.
	2:11pm johnk77: @doctorj yes good times back in the day at the village vanguard @rrn63 yes bill is smooth and tasteful and a god of stompboxes:>
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. I'm gonna end this set strong.
	2:12pm ndbob: Always been a major doowop fan
	2:13pm doctorjazz: Frisell is one of the more original guitarists of the last few decades (though there are younger ones coming up that sound like Bill). He is one of those musical omnivores, will play any music (sort of like FMU)
	2:13pm ndbob: no one sounds like Jimmy Ricks!
	2:14pm doctorjazz: Galactic sounds like should be fun!
	2:18pm johnk77: anyone see the current billy gibbons tour? i had tix for nyc but was reallly sick tuesday here is a less than stellar review from the voice website http://www.villagevoice.com/music/billy-gibbons-solo-not-every-girl-is-crazy-for-this-sharp-dressed-man-8232340
	2:20pm SeanG: yeah PBR is rotgut
	2:21pm Rich in Washington: PBR was all the rage here in Pee Town. I think part of it is that it is so ubiquitous in dive bars, usually for a buck. And it's a beer you can drink all night without falling down. Myself, I always like it because of Frank Booth. I think PDX hipsters have moved on to local UR-beer Rainer.
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: But it does taste like something they'd dredged off the floor of a bowling alley's men's room. Call me nostalgic.
	2:22pm Lane Gray: PBR bites. Didn't Wynn Stewart or Skeets McDonald (an undeservedly forgotten guy) do feeling low?
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: I don't know.
	2:23pm Lane Gray: Hello, Rich
	2:24pm βrian: I heard they would sneak some really excellent English-style ales into the PBR cans, to preserve the aura without having to drink swill.
	2:25pm Lane Gray: PBR stickon labels...
	2:25pm βrian: Remember Stroh's? Fire-brewed in Detroit, Michigan.
	2:25pm doctorjazz: Show's going fast...
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: My cheap American beer is Schlitz.
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: Hiyah, Lane!
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: I used to buy Stroh's.
	2:26pm βrian: Jacques LaCan is on the other stream. Trying not to jump ship, here ...
	2:27pm Rich in Washington: I have a friend who's been swilling PBR tallboys for so long, he now drinks them from bags to hide his hipster shame. The portland hipster backlash thing is so funny, recursive, meta even.
	🛒 2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Prohibition is over, Murica : ...thin ricewater w/ a teabag of weak hops passed thru it does not a drinkable Beer make...Granted $1 is $1...
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I make a point of shaving as often as I have the fortitude to...
	2:35pm Rich in Washington: in portland anyway, I think it's this reactionary backlash against the brewpub culture, which is seen as being bourgeois middle class - it certainly is a huge thing here and sort of pretentious. The areas sort of a mecca of brewers with restaurants in them. So it's started this whole cheap domestic beer thing with hipster. Plus it's really cheap. But you have to drink eight or more of these piss-weak beers to get as loaded as you would drinking two craft beers.
	2:36pm βrian: I used to do quite a bit of home-brewing and was obsessed with beer. These days, I find the trendy new brews tedious. I've rediscovered wine.
	🛒 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...meaning - you spent eight bucks anyhow...
	2:37pm Rich in Washington: @βrian: me too. I never thought I'd become a (admittedly cheapish) wine snob, but there you are.
	🛒 2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hops is a depressant - wine has uppers...
	2:38pm doctorjazz: On the website-seem to have fixed the problems with the videos blocking access to the other shows. Also, the pop up player had this issue for the longest time, when a show ended, it would start to stutter. Hasn't happened past few days, no stutter, can just leave it on.
	2:38pm Dean: That's rich: hipsters finding brewpub culture pretentious! My experience with beer in PDX has been good. For a while I attended the huge festival on the river in late July. I'm not a festival kinda person, but I love the low-key vibe, the good fun, and the surprising infrequency of shitfaced drunkenness. This past year, however, was different. The beer was perhaps the best I've had, but the vibe seemed more forced. So, yeah, maybe the hipsters are right.
	2:38pm Alex In Illinois: Didn't PBR do something strange to people on South Park? Like cause them to commit acts of domestic violence and start building meth labs or something like that?
	2:39pm βrian: Adding a shipping container of hops to every batch is viewed as a daring innovation, leaving hundreds of years of master brewers in the dust. Hmm. Yawn.
	🛒 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What we need is Polka bars. It's not the Beer - it's the mise en scene...
	2:40pm βrian: @Alex: You mean it turned them into Canadians??
	2:41pm βrian: "Let's drop some polka dot and go to the polka bar."
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: Shitty beer is why god invented tomato juice.
	2:43pm Brian in kitchen: Nice one Uncle. Two G & Ts one with lime , one with lemon and cucumber. Tangueray if poss. Chin chin.
	2:44pm βrian: Last summer, we made Bloody Marys with fresh tomato juice and aquavit. Daaaamn.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to try that cuke drink. Thanks Brian.
	2:45pm Lane Gray: I like this Fountains of Wayne
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I like tomato juice in crappy American beer. I'm an old tavern hound.
	2:46pm Parq: Never get tired of that FOW tune. Ever. They won a "Best New Artist" Grammy for that, their third album. Typical Grammy stupidity, but the album showed such maturity that it really was like they were a whole new group.
	2:46pm βrian: (Garnished with a dilly bean, I forgot to mention.)
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: That album flat knocked me on my ass and I still adore it.
	2:47pm βrian: Lord Grantham had a tomato-juice moment in a recent episode.
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: I was just gifted/bribed with some single malt Irish whiskey from a visiting Irish coworker. I am tempted to hoard it for myself but the missus knows I almost never buy whiskey.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: what's the name of it? I don't know single malt Irish
	2:50pm Rich in Washington: Clontarf. Ever hear of it? I haven't cracked the seal on it yet.
	2:50pm Rich in Washington: I don't know much about whiskey, Irish or otherwise.
	2:50pm doctorjazz: FOW, one of my faves.
	2:52pm Parq: I have a single malt Irish called Tyrconnell.
	2:53pm Parq: Rich, according to the Wikipedia page for Clontarf (yes, there is one), you got a pretty good present.
	2:54pm doctorjazz: FOW is one of the few "alternative" bands that likes to do some country style songs.
	2:55pm βrian: I had a Japanese single-malt once: Suntory. Very good.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Went to Scotland 2 summers ago, every block seems to have it's own Scotch.
	2:56pm johnk77: @um one of the best shows on any stream recently u rock selecter;>
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	🛒 2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FOW are PopSongwriting genius machines - plain & simple. Whiskey is good. Quick, warm, good for colds & pain. ...I feel it, tho': can write off moderate wine & even beer as relaxing & even healthy - but whisky takes back...
	2:57pm Mike East: was JUST talking about whisky, and how much I plan to drink tonight. My wife got me a nice bottle of Glennfiddich...blue
	2:57pm Mike East: its one of those days...
	2:58pm Rich in Washington: @Parq: I see they sell a blended version here in the US but I guess what he gave me is only available overseas. Cool!
	2:58pm βrian: Now, what is it that John Prine said about whisky?
	2:59pm Rich in Washington: Glennfiddich is wonderful. I prefer scotch to whiskey and it has the added benefit of my wife not really like Scotch. More for me!
	2:59pm βrian: I recall the Glennfiddich rail tankers when I was in Scotland. The trainspotters pointed them out.
	2:59pm Mike East: @Rich - same here!
	3:00pm doctorjazz: Fun show as usual, UM, great!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a great show, Uncle Michael!
	3:01pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for the great shoe!
	3:02pm doctorjazz: Plug for Jeff on Sunday...
	🛒 3:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx UM. (I won't always be home to clog the comments...)
	3:04pm Parq: --ly Ballou, saying goodbye.
	3:05pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone! Miss you all when you're not here in the comments!
