	12:20pm Uncle Michael: chrome! Dom!
	12:20pm chromaphone: it is great though! Hi Unkie.

	12:31pm Dean: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/hd/20161014
	12:31pm Dean: IOW, yes.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: www.wfmu.org...
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Dean.
	12:32pm Dean: I wonder if Joe Turner really ever did go to Kansas City.
	12:32pm chromaphone: ok thanks.
	12:33pm annie: sorry chrome, i forget about people with smart phones.
	12:38pm Dean: Anybody consumes parallel fifths, nothing is parallel after that.
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Serial would be safer.
	12:40pm doctorjazz: Man, great set!
	12:41pm Ramblin' Ray: Second that emotion!
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Hey Ray!
	12:44pm Dean: Parallel = two-fisted; serial = doesn't know when to stop.
	12:46pm hyde: hi!
	12:47pm Artie Haywire: Saw a pretty great documentary on Doc Pomus a couple of years back at Full Frame. Recommended viewing - see: akadocpomus.com...
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Hyde!
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Here's the link to watch the film: 123movies.net...
	12:53pm Dean: Saw a story yesterday about Charlie Parker playing Birdland with Stravinsky in the audience. Quoted "Rite of Spring," causing Igor to gleefully pound glass on table, sending liquid contents skyward: http://www.openculture.com/2016/10/the-night-when-charlie-parker-played-for-igor-stravinsky-1951.html
	12:55pm ndbob: nice set here UM!
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Bob.
	1:07pm Dean: Come to think of it, the CGUTLY motif sounds like Stravinsky lite.
	1:11pm Dean: Value in today's dollars of $2500 in 1951: $23,652.50.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Practically real money.
	1:14pm chromaphone: Tronzo!
	1:15pm Dean: It'd pay for a new cartridge and an amplifier or two.
	1:17pm Dean: Doing a Peggy Lee thing
	1:17pm Tate: finally getting to listen again
	1:18pm johnk77: Lonely Avenue bio of Doc Pomus is a great book:>
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Tate! Welcome back. John!
	1:20pm Parq: This is such a White Guy thing to admit to, but my first encounter with "Youngblood" was the early 70s Concert for Bangla Desh.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: I think I can make the same admission...Leon.
	1:23pm Dominick: Wow, I haven't heard this one for scores of years.
	1:24pm Dean: Story in SF Chronicle, Oct. 18, 1981, about Mink DeVille's career, mentions that Doc Pomus assisted with "Le Chat Bleu," which had trouble making it in the States.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: We have a song from that album coming up.
	1:26pm Parq: Dig it, but regrettably, I gotta head out. Have a great second half.
	1:26pm Dean: Per the article: "I know Jagger," says DeVille, who is not known for his humility. "And he knows I can sing better than him."
	1:28pm listener james from westwood: Interesting early draft here.
	1:29pm Jeff Golick: Can't believe I missed a second shot at Lil Green today... Ah, well. Early Elvis will do.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Green Day Jeff!
	1:31pm doctorjazz: Missed Green Day last week in Brooklyn (likely was a Zoo anyway).
	1:32pm Dominick: Willy was astonished to have Doc, one of his idols, ask him if he wanted to write some songs together. He put his heart & soul into "Le Chat Bleu" only to have Capitol USA shelve it because it wasn't "punk". Fortunately it was released in Europe and import sales to the USA changed Capitol's mind. Dean, Willy was actually quite self-effacing about his talent and yes, he could sing rings around Jagger.
	1:32pm johnk77: yes Willy DeVille and Mac Rebennack both co-wrote w/Doc Willy could be difficult to work with both when he was strung out and when he was in rehab:<
	1:32pm chromaphone: Only reason i know Mess of Blues is cuz of Zeppelin.
	1:34pm Jeff Golick: She plays the cello in Short Cuts, iirc --- oh okay yeah never mind.
	1:35pm hyde: i love this one.
	1:37pm Dean: @Dominick: The Chronicle article does not depict a self-effacing guy, but we can chalk some of that up to the writer, I suppose. Anyway, according to the article, DeVille left NYC in 1973 because "[t]here was nothin' happenin' in New York." Gets to Bay Area. "That two years was a very hard time for me. Cause I'm a very city-oriented guy and everybody was still hung over from the hippie thing."
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: And no, Doc didn't write this...he just loved it.
	1:39pm Dean: A guilty pleasure (of which, I know, there are none here): I like James Taylor's version of this.
	1:45pm johnk77: Mink DeVille returned to NYC primarily because CGBGs got hot and they were 1 of the original bands there-they ended up getting on an early compilation of CBs bands
	1:46pm Jeff Golick: I find this chorus irresistible.
	1:47pm Jeff Golick: Hits keep comin'!
	1:49pm Dominick: Dean, Yep, Billy Borsey moved to SF around '73 and returned a few years later as Willy DeVille with Manfred and Ruben in tow. Johnk77. I'm not certain there was any scene at CBGB. More like he was in the first wave that made CB's hot.
	1:49pm johnk77: bill kirchen does little sister killer live both w/his bands +moonliters/moonlighters:>
	1:50pm Jeff Golick: The flip of "Little Sister" is also a great tune. Two A sides, really.
	1:50pm chromaphone: This sounds a bit sped up.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: I agree.
	1:52pm johnk77: Manfred played w? Tommy Heath just before or early Tommy Tutone;?
	1:53pm Dominick: So many great songs!
	1:53pm doctorjazz: This isn't the "Suspicion" that was a hit-Terry Stafford had the hit!
	1:55pm johnk77: i believe willy had info that it was about to become hot you are correct they made it hotter
	1:55pm Dominick: Johnk77 - Thomas R. "Manfred" Allen, Jr.
	1:57pm ndbob: Little Sister is great but Marie is one of my five favorite Elvis songs
	1:58pm johnk77: lenny kaye confirmed to me about 5 years ago mink deville one of the most important CBs bands in the early days
	1:59pm chromaphone: oh my, this is so heinous.
	1:59pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, good pick. Listened to the Dead Kennedys' version on the way to Atlantic City last week. Been too long since I've heard the ZZ-fied version.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: hehe
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: Aaaahhh, I'm back on the Garden State Parkway at 80 mph once again!
	2:03pm chromaphone: I remember when my little bro bought Afterburner when it came out and thought it was cool. And I was just like... no, this is wrong.
	2:03pm doctorjazz: This Dead Kennedys track is GREAT! His voice reminds me a bit of Peter Stamfel.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: "We can't stop here—this is bat country!"
	2:17pm johnk77: thanks @dominick RIP Thomas R. "Manfred" Allen, Jr http://alamedasun.com/obituaries/5475 dominick do you know of any video or audio of tommy heath and manfred? @um great show selecter
	2:21pm Marie: Hey UM, really enjoying your show today. Loving the edumacation on the songwriters and hearing thier great work.
	2:23pm Dominick: Johnk77 - I didn't know Manfred played with Tommy.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Marie.
	2:27pm johnk77: i met and toured w/tommy in 1980 manfred was gone i worked w/mink deville doing live sound in the mid-eighties manfred was gone but very foundly remembered by all
	2:27pm mauri: I was listening and thinking oh man this piano playing sounds good and checked here ah ofcourse its dr john.
	2:32pm johnk77: mac is a good guy the doc bio has nasty+funny stories about mac,willy and toots at macs apt. in midtown nyc tommy heath also recommends lonely avenue doc bio he read it at my house
	2:43pm johnk77: this song important part of many live mink deville shows
	2:48pm Tate: thanks for the good music today
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for coming around, Tate!
	🛒 2:52pm KevinfromBayRidge: Simply superb... inna Doc kinda style! Good luck with the former Brooklynite Blue Guys,Unc!
	2:53pm ndbob: a particularly excellent show today UM!
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Kevin. Cubbie blue is brighter than Dodger blue.
	2:55pm Jeff Golick: Great great show, @UM. Thanks.
	2:55pm hyde: been busy but been listening. this was a fun show. thank you.
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Almost done, huh? :( Enjoyed it, great weekend, all (maybe I'll get to the mini record fair, if I can get out of work early enough).
	2:57pm Dean: Just realized, hyde, that your avatar resembles the cover of a Budgie album: https://www.discogs.com/Budgie-Impeckable/master/42125
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Jimmy sang this at Doc's funeral.
	2:59pm hyde: @Dean ha! it sort of does. it's really just a pic of my dear departed one eyed cat...
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks for the amazing survey, UM!
	3:02pm Dean: "In the land of blind mice..."
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks friends!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 14, 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.

Quoted "Rite of Spring," causing Igor to gleefully pound glass on table, sending liquid contents skyward: http://www.openculture.com/2016/10/the-night-when-charlie-parker-played-for-igor-stravinsky-1951.html
	12:55pm ndbob: nice set here UM!
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Bob.
	1:07pm Dean: Come to think of it, the CGUTLY motif sounds like Stravinsky lite.
	1:11pm Dean: Value in today's dollars of $2500 in 1951: $23,652.50.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Practically real money.
	1:14pm chromaphone: Tronzo!
	1:15pm Dean: It'd pay for a new cartridge and an amplifier or two.
	1:17pm Dean: Doing a Peggy Lee thing
	1:17pm Tate: finally getting to listen again
	1:18pm johnk77: Lonely Avenue bio of Doc Pomus is a great book:>
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Tate! Welcome back. John!
	1:20pm Parq: This is such a White Guy thing to admit to, but my first encounter with "Youngblood" was the early 70s Concert for Bangla Desh.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: I think I can make the same admission...Leon.
	1:23pm Dominick: Wow, I haven't heard this one for scores of years.
	1:24pm Dean: Story in SF Chronicle, Oct. 18, 1981, about Mink DeVille's career, mentions that Doc Pomus assisted with "Le Chat Bleu," which had trouble making it in the States.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: We have a song from that album coming up.
	1:26pm Parq: Dig it, but regrettably, I gotta head out. Have a great second half.
	1:26pm Dean: Per the article: "I know Jagger," says DeVille, who is not known for his humility. "And he knows I can sing better than him."
	1:28pm listener james from westwood: Interesting early draft here.
	1:29pm Jeff Golick: Can't believe I missed a second shot at Lil Green today... Ah, well. Early Elvis will do.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Green Day Jeff!
	1:31pm doctorjazz: Missed Green Day last week in Brooklyn (likely was a Zoo anyway).
	1:32pm Dominick: Willy was astonished to have Doc, one of his idols, ask him if he wanted to write some songs together. He put his heart & soul into "Le Chat Bleu" only to have Capitol USA shelve it because it wasn't "punk". Fortunately it was released in Europe and import sales to the USA changed Capitol's mind. Dean, Willy was actually quite self-effacing about his talent and yes, he could sing rings around Jagger.
	1:32pm johnk77: yes Willy DeVille and Mac Rebennack both co-wrote w/Doc Willy could be difficult to work with both when he was strung out and when he was in rehab:<
	1:32pm chromaphone: Only reason i know Mess of Blues is cuz of Zeppelin.
	1:34pm Jeff Golick: She plays the cello in Short Cuts, iirc --- oh okay yeah never mind.
	1:35pm hyde: i love this one.
	1:37pm Dean: @Dominick: The Chronicle article does not depict a self-effacing guy, but we can chalk some of that up to the writer, I suppose. Anyway, according to the article, DeVille left NYC in 1973 because "[t]here was nothin' happenin' in New York." Gets to Bay Area. "That two years was a very hard time for me. Cause I'm a very city-oriented guy and everybody was still hung over from the hippie thing."
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: And no, Doc didn't write this...he just loved it.
	1:39pm Dean: A guilty pleasure (of which, I know, there are none here): I like James Taylor's version of this.
	1:45pm johnk77: Mink DeVille returned to NYC primarily because CGBGs got hot and they were 1 of the original bands there-they ended up getting on an early compilation of CBs bands
	1:46pm Jeff Golick: I find this chorus irresistible.
	1:47pm Jeff Golick: Hits keep comin'!
	1:49pm Dominick: Dean, Yep, Billy Borsey moved to SF around '73 and returned a few years later as Willy DeVille with Manfred and Ruben in tow. Johnk77. I'm not certain there was any scene at CBGB. More like he was in the first wave that made CB's hot.
	1:49pm johnk77: bill kirchen does little sister killer live both w/his bands +moonliters/moonlighters:>
	1:50pm Jeff Golick: The flip of "Little Sister" is also a great tune. Two A sides, really.
	1:50pm chromaphone: This sounds a bit sped up.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: I agree.
	1:52pm johnk77: Manfred played w? Tommy Heath just before or early Tommy Tutone;?
	1:53pm Dominick: So many great songs!
	1:53pm doctorjazz: This isn't the "Suspicion" that was a hit-Terry Stafford had the hit!
	1:55pm johnk77: i believe willy had info that it was about to become hot you are correct they made it hotter
	1:55pm Dominick: Johnk77 - Thomas R. "Manfred" Allen, Jr.
	1:57pm ndbob: Little Sister is great but Marie is one of my five favorite Elvis songs
	1:58pm johnk77: lenny kaye confirmed to me about 5 years ago mink deville one of the most important CBs bands in the early days
	1:59pm chromaphone: oh my, this is so heinous.
	1:59pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, good pick. Listened to the Dead Kennedys' version on the way to Atlantic City last week. Been too long since I've heard the ZZ-fied version.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: hehe
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: Aaaahhh, I'm back on the Garden State Parkway at 80 mph once again!
	2:03pm chromaphone: I remember when my little bro bought Afterburner when it came out and thought it was cool. And I was just like... no, this is wrong.
	2:03pm doctorjazz: This Dead Kennedys track is GREAT! His voice reminds me a bit of Peter Stamfel.
	2:05pm listener james from westwood: "We can't stop here—this is bat country!"
	2:17pm johnk77: thanks @dominick RIP Thomas R. "Manfred" Allen, Jr http://alamedasun.com/obituaries/5475 dominick do you know of any video or audio of tommy heath and manfred? @um great show selecter

	2:57pm Dean: Just realized, hyde, that your avatar resembles the cover of a Budgie album: https://www.discogs.com/Budgie-Impeckable/master/42125
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Jimmy sang this at Doc's funeral.
	2:59pm hyde: @Dean ha! it sort of does. it's really just a pic of my dear departed one eyed cat...
	3:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks for the amazing survey, UM!
