	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Melinda! Burke!
	12:27pm Pedro G.: We drove from Chicago on the way to Cleveland a week ago with 3 hours of Uncle Michael. Missed the Cubs at Wrigley but saw the Indians' in-the-park walk-off that night. A good day.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Thanks for listening.
	12:30pm whattawino: Hey Unka, is this your place from way back when? Just learned the Trader Vic's / Hinky Dinks connection and thought it was worth sharing. Cheers to you and the best show evah! https://evilleeye.com/history/trader-vics-rediscover-evilles-most-celebrated-bar/

	12:33pm Artie Haywire: Michael!
	12:33pm Artie Haywire: Matthew!
	12:36pm Parq: Whatawino, nice post, thanks. A lesson learned: never be too quick to dismiss something as touristy.
	12:38pm SeanG: Sloan is so good
	12:38pm melinda: hi Sean!
	12:39pm Jeff Golick: @melinda: I love your avi image. Is that you?
	12:40pm melinda: Thanks Jeff. It's not me, it's a giant muskie!
	12:41pm Dean: The original site of Hinky Dinks is now a vacant lot: goo.gl/ZWB4sc It's not three miles from where I live.
	12:41pm ndbob: Hi Melinda!
	12:42pm melinda: hi Bob!
	12:42pm Jeff Golick: Well, yes, @melinda, I should've clarified that I was asking specifically about the people in the mouth of the thing.
	12:43pm SeanG: oh yes MEMPHIS in the hizzouse!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:44pm melinda: @Jeff: haha, I figured that's what you meant but was feeling jokey. It's me on the right, circa 1994.
	12:47pm whattawino: Dean...Nice...they could use a couple goats in there for sure. Parg...tks!
	12:48pm chromaphone: I remember various folks telling me how great Girlfriend was in the early 90s. Sadly, I still don't get it. glad it does it for you though!
	12:50pm chromaphone: yea
	12:53pm Wilson K: Torch city!
	12:54pm Wilson K: Yes! This is almost a Christmas carol.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Wilson!
	🛒 12:56pm Brian in UK: Formerly The Alan Bown Set. Where did the ! come from. Well it was the Sixties.
	🛒 12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& this is almost 'Stonehenge' by Spinal Tap - the 70s are on their way...
	12:56pm Parq: Coulda been worse, Alan (!). She could have married you for a green card.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Right! Good singer!
	12:57pm Parq: Johnny! Mary! Cranking it.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: And this...is the same singer!
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: Killing it now. What a great singer. The first three tracks off Sneaking Sally....run seamlessly. Jess Roden was in the Alan Bown?
	🛒 12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow - how long since I heard this Palmer?! Tune I always kinda liked but would only half-hear sometimes...you could half-hear a tune back then & not know what it was...
	🛒 12:59pm Brian in UK: Robert Palmer was in Vinegar Joe if memory serves.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: He was.
	1:00pm Jeff Golick: Lotta vectors running through this Palmer. 1980: you can hear both the 70s and the 80s in it.
	1:01pm whattawino: Double Fun, anyone? I miss this guy!
	1:01pm SeanG: now we be houserockin!!!
	🛒 1:01pm Brian in UK: Mr Palmer had humour too. A priceless commodity.
	1:02pm Wilson K: Glued to this
	1:03pm chromaphone: Recently found out he isn't saying "Bruce"
	1:04pm melinda: Is he saying 'Proust'?
	1:04pm chromaphone: It's some German word I think.
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Jeff Lynn kept chickens and he is asking them to Roost.
	1:06pm Dean: When will somebody cover ELO's "Poker"? It just begs for an over-the-top riff rock treatment.
	1:07pm Dean: Mom factor worked in the other direction for me. Thanks to her I'm a fan of Billie Holiday, Burt Bacharach, Rachmaninov, and ... no, not Billy Joel.
	1:07pm Alex In Illinois: Really, what is he saying? We always sang "Bruce" to it.
	1:09pm Jeff Golick: From wiki: "In the liner notes of the ELO compilation Flashback and elsewhere, Lynne has explained that he is singing a made-up word, "Grooss," which some have suggested sounds like the southern German expression "Grüß Gott." After the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as "Bruce" that Lynne actually began to sing the word as "Bruce" for fun at live shows."
	1:10pm Dean: According to some, "The German word 'Grüß' (written as 'grooss' in the standard Latin alphabet) means "greeting" in German."
	1:11pm Alex In Illinois: Ahh, like the way John Fogerty sometimes sings: "There's a bathroom on the right".
	1:11pm Dean: Er, sorry. Google translates Grüß as Howdy.
	1:12pm Parq: Speaking of Bruce, let's not forget "Run up like a douche".
	🛒 1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Misheard lyrics - Mondegreens.
	1:14pm Matt in Nebraska: @Parq I always thought it was "wrapped up like a douche".
	1:14pm Wilson K: Somebody busted out Cherry Cherry the other day AND I LIKED IT
	1:14pm Parq: One that always assumed was just me until I read it in the first rock mondagreens book "'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" -- the opening line of the Doors' "L.A. Woman", "Well, I dig a little dog about an hour ago."
	1:14pm Alex In Illinois: @Matt in Nebraska: same here.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Matt! Alex!
	1:15pm Parq: Actually, wasn't it "revved"? Rev?
	1:16pm chromaphone: There is a live recording of Hendrix where he says "scuse me while I kiss this policeman".
	🛒 1:16pm Brian in UK: Hot August Afternoon.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: revved up like a Deuce
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Uncle Michael's Stationary Salvation Show
	1:17pm Dean: Maybe the lyrics aren't misheard. Maybe they're mispronounced?
	1:18pm Parq: Oh no. Poor Neil.
	1:18pm Wilson K: My brother, who was into drug store candy at the time, thought "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was, "Owner of a Lone Red Hot."
	1:19pm Alex In Illinois: @Parq: The real Lyric as Springsteen clearly wrote and sang it was: "Revved up like a Deuce". But Manfred Mann sang what sounded to many of as: "Wrapped up like a douche". And many of us heard Manfred Mann's version first.
	1:19pm SeanG: nice segue
	1:20pm melinda: Yes, great segue!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: If obvious, Sean!
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That key FolkRawk band - the Rolling Stones.
	1:21pm SeanG: that was awesome UM!
	1:21pm Parq: I was on college radio when that Man-Man cover came out. Some of the soreheads at the station (it was a Jesuit school) insisted that we couldn't play it on the air. Since I didn't like it, that suited me just fine.
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: ABBA the music that is played at Heavens entrance. I am headed south. No offence.
	1:24pm βrian: Eeew. Now I have to clean the melted Velveeta out of my headphones!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: How are these lyrics possibly written in anyone's not-first language?
	1:25pm SeanG: hey UM I also share your love for the song "Funkytown"!
	🛒 1:25pm Brian in UK: The Scandis speak better Ingerlish than me or thee.
	1:26pm Dean: En av oss gråter En av oss ligger I sin ensamma säng Stirrade i taket Önskar att hon var någon annanstans i stället En av oss är ensam En av oss är bara Väntar på ett samtal Synd om sig själv, känner sig dum känsla liten Önskar hon hade aldrig lämnat alls
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'ma click this Abba! The production is slick like a machine w/ not enuff moving parts - but the lyrics & arrangement & singing are good. There - I said a nice thing about Abba.
	1:26pm Parq: That's it -- I'm changing the name of my autobiography to "Cleaning the Melted Velveeta Out of My Headphones".
	1:26pm βrian: Lutefisk.
	1:27pm chromaphone: I'm with you on the Abba UM.
	1:27pm ndbob: having lived in North Dakota I know all about Lutefisk
	1:31pm SeanG: I'm on team ABBA
	1:32pm βrian: I imagine Josef Mengele would listen to abba in the morning, with his children, before going off to work. One might guess it even would inform his work...
	1:34pm chromaphone: I guess ABBA is my 2nd favorite Swedish band behind Dungen.
	🛒 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abba is International - like a commercial airport lobby.
	1:34pm Dean: Hey, was there a The Dave Pike!?
	1:35pm βrian: The Banality of Abba, as it were. (In any case, not a big fan.)
	1:35pm Parq: I never get enough of that name-dropping guitar number.
	🛒 1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pandering to the guitarheads...
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Deke is a guitar name drop record.
	1:41pm chromaphone: Pretty sure Wakefield is the best non-pedal steel player alive today.
	🛒 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It would seem that Dickerson records are recorded w/ exceptional presence.
	1:46pm βrian: Dean makes me wanna smoke. I've never smoked.
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It takes something special to exist comfortably somewhere between Jerry Lewis & Sinatra.
	1:49pm SeanG: true dat Rev
	1:51pm βrian: Don't you hear that railcar sway in the guitar line?
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - the transportation correlation to musical rhythms. As it is lived - so shalt it be played.
	1:59pm chromaphone: Did you forget to write down the Biller and Wakefield track Unkie?
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Umm...what Biller & Wakefield? Oh, that was a continuation of the Deke track.
	2:03pm Dominick: swing it, sinners
	2:03pm mauri: Happy face is on.
	2:03pm burke: But I LIKE my gloomy mask of tragedy!
	2:04pm chromaphone: oh ok, cool. I'll have to get that album.
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - loves Blossom - what a great track!
	2:04pm Dean: Darlene Edwards kills this song.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Jonathon makes that, Dean...nothing without him.
	2:07pm Dean: He makes it, but she kills it. Mortally wounds it.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: last rights...
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Helen Kane is preparation for the modern world.
	2:08pm Dean: So rite.
	2:09pm Dean: Clever, the connection to the show's theme.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: that too....sorry, multi-tasking
	2:10pm βrian: Unction Xtreme.
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this is the Post-Post-Post Modern world just doesn't pop, does it... Wondering if the Kane in 1929 was an electric recording or still acoustic...prob. electric.
	2:10pm Jeff Golick: Have such a soft spot for The Jam, but tend to forget about them.
	🛒 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A restatement of TheWho - but by then, TheWho could use it...
	2:12pm Dean: How come none of the troubadours or trouveres ever wrote a tribute to their own times? "This is the medieval world!"
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I tot this was McCartney.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: It's T-Bone Burnett.
	2:17pm SeanG: drop outta BU like Andy Breckman
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: I sort of forget about The Who, too.
	2:18pm melinda: Nice tunes, UM. I decided to make stuffed grape leaves today and the rolling process is quite tedious, but this helps.
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: I lurv The Modern Lovers.
	2:19pm Dean: When's dinner served, melinda? I can bring the retsina.
	🛒 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh, I never forget TheWho. MLs just great aren't they.
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: Love this track. I wonder if that's the Duchess grinding out the slabs of rhythm guitar.
	2:22pm melinda: @Dean: that sounds yummy! I'm off booze right now, unfortunately.
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: Nope. THE Lady Bo. I just checked.
	2:22pm melinda: Modern Lovers are good summer music.
	🛒 2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - always think of one of the Everlys saying hearing Bo changed his life. Pretty far out for the 1950s.
	2:26pm βrian: My wine tastes like pine.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	2:32pm Dean: All for me, then!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: I keep thinking about making dolmas...with lamb filling and an avgalemono sauce. Been a while...
	2:33pm Rich in Washington: Been listening the whole time but it's been too bleedin' hot to turn on my monitor to log in and comment. I am a ball of sweat. & caffeine.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: ew
	2:36pm Dean: Blood, sweat & caffeine. I'm the only one in my family who likes lamb. Thus, it's usually chops or lamb sausage for me, 'cuz I can write my name on them.
	2:39pm Rich in Washington: my town desperately needs a decent Greek restaurant.
	2:39pm SeanG: sing it Rumer
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Mine hasn't even a crappy one.
	2:42pm Dean: Berkeley ("Gourmet Ghetto," blah blah blah) has a handful of Greek/Med restaurants, but I know only a couple for a quick lunch. Meanwhile, every other day a new pizza joint opens.
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: These mountain boys sound Toddish. No cute animals in my dolma por favor.
	2:43pm βrian: Where I used to live, we sometimes hoped for a restaurant — of any kind — that wasn't a Greek restaurant. It was funny, in a way. I think only the Chinese restaurants weren't Greek.
	2:44pm chromaphone: I was wondering if this was Todd at first.
	2:46pm sinner: blown away by You Know Like I Know.
	2:47pm burke: It's a cover Beatles "Revolution," no?
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: My actual town, Vancouver WA, right across the bridge from Portland, has not a one, at this point. At one time we had one pretty good one and one not-so-good but passable one. Now, not a one. But there's a Thai restaurant every few blocks, of varying quality.
	2:48pm burke: With many creative liberties taken?
	2:49pm SeanG: yes some Prince! Kurt fillin in next!
	2:50pm doctorjazz: Too busy to post, but fine show, thanks UM!
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: yeah burke...a very loose cover
	2:53pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm Dean: Damn, talk about a left turn! Agitation Free! It has been a long while.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for all the fine company, everyone.
	2:55pm chromaphone: Another blissful Friday afternoon thanks to UM!
	2:57pm melinda: I found some grass-fed lamb at the food co-op a while back and that's what inspired the dolma project. I did 1/2 lamb, 1/2 beef. Used 2 different online recipes, wingin' it here.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Post-Syd Floyd-esque-ness?
	2:57pm ndbob: sounds good Melinda!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: I hope they're all you dream of, Melinda.
	2:58pm melinda: Fingers crossed!
	3:00pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Unc.
	3:01pm SeanG: thanks UM! rock on
	3:01pm melinda: Bye UM
	3:01pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for the tuneage, Uncle Michael!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all...till next time...

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 26, 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.

	12:27pm Pedro G.: We drove from Chicago on the way to Cleveland a week ago with 3 hours of Uncle Michael. Missed the Cubs at Wrigley but saw the Indians' in-the-park walk-off that night. A good day.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! Thanks for listening.

	12:33pm Artie Haywire: Michael!
	12:33pm Artie Haywire: Matthew!
	12:36pm Parq: Whatawino, nice post, thanks. A lesson learned: never be too quick to dismiss something as touristy.
	12:38pm SeanG: Sloan is so good
	12:38pm melinda: hi Sean!
	12:39pm Jeff Golick: @melinda: I love your avi image. Is that you?
	12:40pm melinda: Thanks Jeff. It's not me, it's a giant muskie!
	12:41pm Dean: The original site of Hinky Dinks is now a vacant lot: goo.gl/ZWB4sc It's not three miles from where I live.
	12:41pm ndbob: Hi Melinda!
	12:42pm melinda: hi Bob!
	12:42pm Jeff Golick: Well, yes, @melinda, I should've clarified that I was asking specifically about the people in the mouth of the thing.
	12:43pm SeanG: oh yes MEMPHIS in the hizzouse!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	12:44pm melinda: @Jeff: haha, I figured that's what you meant but was feeling jokey. It's me on the right, circa 1994.
	12:47pm whattawino: Dean...Nice...they could use a couple goats in there for sure. Parg...tks!
	12:48pm chromaphone: I remember various folks telling me how great Girlfriend was in the early 90s. Sadly, I still don't get it. glad it does it for you though!
	12:50pm chromaphone: yea
	12:53pm Wilson K: Torch city!
	12:54pm Wilson K: Yes! This is almost a Christmas carol.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: Wilson!
	🛒 12:56pm Brian in UK: Formerly The Alan Bown Set. Where did the ! come from. Well it was the Sixties.
	🛒 12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& this is almost 'Stonehenge' by Spinal Tap - the 70s are on their way...
	12:56pm Parq: Coulda been worse, Alan (!). She could have married you for a green card.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Right! Good singer!
	12:57pm Parq: Johnny! Mary! Cranking it.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: And this...is the same singer!
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: Killing it now. What a great singer. The first three tracks off Sneaking Sally....run seamlessly. Jess Roden was in the Alan Bown?
	🛒 12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow - how long since I heard this Palmer?! Tune I always kinda liked but would only half-hear sometimes...you could half-hear a tune back then & not know what it was...
	🛒 12:59pm Brian in UK: Robert Palmer was in Vinegar Joe if memory serves.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: He was.
	1:00pm Jeff Golick: Lotta vectors running through this Palmer. 1980: you can hear both the 70s and the 80s in it.
	1:01pm whattawino: Double Fun, anyone? I miss this guy!
	1:01pm SeanG: now we be houserockin!!!
	🛒 1:01pm Brian in UK: Mr Palmer had humour too. A priceless commodity.
	1:02pm Wilson K: Glued to this
	1:03pm chromaphone: Recently found out he isn't saying "Bruce"
	1:04pm melinda: Is he saying 'Proust'?
	1:04pm chromaphone: It's some German word I think.
	🛒 1:05pm Brian in UK: Jeff Lynn kept chickens and he is asking them to Roost.
	1:06pm Dean: When will somebody cover ELO's "Poker"? It just begs for an over-the-top riff rock treatment.
	1:07pm Dean: Mom factor worked in the other direction for me. Thanks to her I'm a fan of Billie Holiday, Burt Bacharach, Rachmaninov, and ... no, not Billy Joel.
	1:07pm Alex In Illinois: Really, what is he saying? We always sang "Bruce" to it.
	1:09pm Jeff Golick: From wiki: "In the liner notes of the ELO compilation Flashback and elsewhere, Lynne has explained that he is singing a made-up word, "Grooss," which some have suggested sounds like the southern German expression "Grüß Gott." After the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as "Bruce" that Lynne actually began to sing the word as "Bruce" for fun at live shows."
	1:10pm Dean: According to some, "The German word 'Grüß' (written as 'grooss' in the standard Latin alphabet) means "greeting" in German."
	1:11pm Alex In Illinois: Ahh, like the way John Fogerty sometimes sings: "There's a bathroom on the right".
	1:11pm Dean: Er, sorry. Google translates Grüß as Howdy.
	1:12pm Parq: Speaking of Bruce, let's not forget "Run up like a douche".
	🛒 1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Misheard lyrics - Mondegreens.
	1:14pm Matt in Nebraska: @Parq I always thought it was "wrapped up like a douche".
	1:14pm Wilson K: Somebody busted out Cherry Cherry the other day AND I LIKED IT
	1:14pm Parq: One that always assumed was just me until I read it in the first rock mondagreens book "'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy" -- the opening line of the Doors' "L.A. Woman", "Well, I dig a little dog about an hour ago."
	1:14pm Alex In Illinois: @Matt in Nebraska: same here.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: Matt! Alex!
	1:15pm Parq: Actually, wasn't it "revved"? Rev?
	1:16pm chromaphone: There is a live recording of Hendrix where he says "scuse me while I kiss this policeman".
	🛒 1:16pm Brian in UK: Hot August Afternoon.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: revved up like a Deuce
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Uncle Michael's Stationary Salvation Show
	1:17pm Dean: Maybe the lyrics aren't misheard. Maybe they're mispronounced?
	1:18pm Parq: Oh no. Poor Neil.
	1:18pm Wilson K: My brother, who was into drug store candy at the time, thought "Owner of a Lonely Heart" was, "Owner of a Lone Red Hot."
	1:19pm Alex In Illinois: @Parq: The real Lyric as Springsteen clearly wrote and sang it was: "Revved up like a Deuce". But Manfred Mann sang what sounded to many of as: "Wrapped up like a douche". And many of us heard Manfred Mann's version first.
	1:19pm SeanG: nice segue
	1:20pm melinda: Yes, great segue!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: If obvious, Sean!
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That key FolkRawk band - the Rolling Stones.
	1:21pm SeanG: that was awesome UM!
	1:21pm Parq: I was on college radio when that Man-Man cover came out. Some of the soreheads at the station (it was a Jesuit school) insisted that we couldn't play it on the air. Since I didn't like it, that suited me just fine.
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: ABBA the music that is played at Heavens entrance. I am headed south. No offence.
	1:24pm βrian: Eeew. Now I have to clean the melted Velveeta out of my headphones!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: How are these lyrics possibly written in anyone's not-first language?
	1:25pm SeanG: hey UM I also share your love for the song "Funkytown"!
	🛒 1:25pm Brian in UK: The Scandis speak better Ingerlish than me or thee.
	1:26pm Dean: En av oss gråter En av oss ligger I sin ensamma säng Stirrade i taket Önskar att hon var någon annanstans i stället En av oss är ensam En av oss är bara Väntar på ett samtal Synd om sig själv, känner sig dum känsla liten Önskar hon hade aldrig lämnat alls
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'ma click this Abba! The production is slick like a machine w/ not enuff moving parts - but the lyrics & arrangement & singing are good. There - I said a nice thing about Abba.
	1:26pm Parq: That's it -- I'm changing the name of my autobiography to "Cleaning the Melted Velveeta Out of My Headphones".
	1:26pm βrian: Lutefisk.
	1:27pm chromaphone: I'm with you on the Abba UM.
	1:27pm ndbob: having lived in North Dakota I know all about Lutefisk
	1:31pm SeanG: I'm on team ABBA
	1:32pm βrian: I imagine Josef Mengele would listen to abba in the morning, with his children, before going off to work. One might guess it even would inform his work...
	1:34pm chromaphone: I guess ABBA is my 2nd favorite Swedish band behind Dungen.
	🛒 1:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abba is International - like a commercial airport lobby.
	1:34pm Dean: Hey, was there a The Dave Pike!?
	1:35pm βrian: The Banality of Abba, as it were. (In any case, not a big fan.)
	1:35pm Parq: I never get enough of that name-dropping guitar number.
	🛒 1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pandering to the guitarheads...
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Deke is a guitar name drop record.
	1:41pm chromaphone: Pretty sure Wakefield is the best non-pedal steel player alive today.
	🛒 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It would seem that Dickerson records are recorded w/ exceptional presence.
	1:46pm βrian: Dean makes me wanna smoke. I've never smoked.
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It takes something special to exist comfortably somewhere between Jerry Lewis & Sinatra.
	1:49pm SeanG: true dat Rev
	1:51pm βrian: Don't you hear that railcar sway in the guitar line?
	🛒 1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - the transportation correlation to musical rhythms. As it is lived - so shalt it be played.
	1:59pm chromaphone: Did you forget to write down the Biller and Wakefield track Unkie?
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Umm...what Biller & Wakefield? Oh, that was a continuation of the Deke track.
	2:03pm Dominick: swing it, sinners
	2:03pm mauri: Happy face is on.
	2:03pm burke: But I LIKE my gloomy mask of tragedy!
	2:04pm chromaphone: oh ok, cool. I'll have to get that album.
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - loves Blossom - what a great track!
	2:04pm Dean: Darlene Edwards kills this song.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: Jonathon makes that, Dean...nothing without him.
	2:07pm Dean: He makes it, but she kills it. Mortally wounds it.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: last rights...
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Helen Kane is preparation for the modern world.
	2:08pm Dean: So rite.
	2:09pm Dean: Clever, the connection to the show's theme.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: that too....sorry, multi-tasking
	2:10pm βrian: Unction Xtreme.
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this is the Post-Post-Post Modern world just doesn't pop, does it... Wondering if the Kane in 1929 was an electric recording or still acoustic...prob. electric.
	2:10pm Jeff Golick: Have such a soft spot for The Jam, but tend to forget about them.
	🛒 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A restatement of TheWho - but by then, TheWho could use it...
	2:12pm Dean: How come none of the troubadours or trouveres ever wrote a tribute to their own times? "This is the medieval world!"
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I tot this was McCartney.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: It's T-Bone Burnett.
	2:17pm SeanG: drop outta BU like Andy Breckman
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: I sort of forget about The Who, too.
	2:18pm melinda: Nice tunes, UM. I decided to make stuffed grape leaves today and the rolling process is quite tedious, but this helps.
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: I lurv The Modern Lovers.
	2:19pm Dean: When's dinner served, melinda? I can bring the retsina.
	🛒 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh, I never forget TheWho. MLs just great aren't they.
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: Love this track. I wonder if that's the Duchess grinding out the slabs of rhythm guitar.
	2:22pm melinda: @Dean: that sounds yummy! I'm off booze right now, unfortunately.
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: Nope. THE Lady Bo. I just checked.
	2:22pm melinda: Modern Lovers are good summer music.
	🛒 2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - always think of one of the Everlys saying hearing Bo changed his life. Pretty far out for the 1950s.
	2:26pm βrian: My wine tastes like pine.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	2:32pm Dean: All for me, then!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: I keep thinking about making dolmas...with lamb filling and an avgalemono sauce. Been a while...
	2:33pm Rich in Washington: Been listening the whole time but it's been too bleedin' hot to turn on my monitor to log in and comment. I am a ball of sweat. & caffeine.
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: ew
	2:36pm Dean: Blood, sweat & caffeine. I'm the only one in my family who likes lamb. Thus, it's usually chops or lamb sausage for me, 'cuz I can write my name on them.
	2:39pm Rich in Washington: my town desperately needs a decent Greek restaurant.
	2:39pm SeanG: sing it Rumer
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Mine hasn't even a crappy one.
	2:42pm Dean: Berkeley ("Gourmet Ghetto," blah blah blah) has a handful of Greek/Med restaurants, but I know only a couple for a quick lunch. Meanwhile, every other day a new pizza joint opens.
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: These mountain boys sound Toddish. No cute animals in my dolma por favor.
	2:43pm βrian: Where I used to live, we sometimes hoped for a restaurant — of any kind — that wasn't a Greek restaurant. It was funny, in a way. I think only the Chinese restaurants weren't Greek.
	2:44pm chromaphone: I was wondering if this was Todd at first.
	2:46pm sinner: blown away by You Know Like I Know.
	2:47pm burke: It's a cover Beatles "Revolution," no?
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: My actual town, Vancouver WA, right across the bridge from Portland, has not a one, at this point. At one time we had one pretty good one and one not-so-good but passable one. Now, not a one. But there's a Thai restaurant every few blocks, of varying quality.
	2:48pm burke: With many creative liberties taken?
	2:49pm SeanG: yes some Prince! Kurt fillin in next!
	2:50pm doctorjazz: Too busy to post, but fine show, thanks UM!
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: yeah burke...a very loose cover
	2:53pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:54pm Dean: Damn, talk about a left turn! Agitation Free! It has been a long while.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for all the fine company, everyone.
	2:55pm chromaphone: Another blissful Friday afternoon thanks to UM!
	2:57pm melinda: I found some grass-fed lamb at the food co-op a while back and that's what inspired the dolma project. I did 1/2 lamb, 1/2 beef. Used 2 different online recipes, wingin' it here.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Post-Syd Floyd-esque-ness?
	2:57pm ndbob: sounds good Melinda!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: I hope they're all you dream of, Melinda.
	2:58pm melinda: Fingers crossed!
	3:00pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, Unc.
	3:01pm SeanG: thanks UM! rock on
	3:01pm melinda: Bye UM
	3:01pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for the tuneage, Uncle Michael!
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all...till next time...
