	9:08am Asheville Jon: hey UM i have to drag myself out the door now, so bummed. will listen later on the archive

	9:11am dan: Marilyn Manson meets bubblegum pop. Weird mix
	9:13am Rich in NC: Good morning all,hey Uncle Michael, congrats on the Cubs, glad you didn't jump off the hotel balcony after the grand slam the other night,
	9:15am dan: So many ABBA tribute albums. What's next, Surf music tribute to ABBA?
	9:15am Uncle Michael: Rich! Thanks! I hope you and your spouse enjoyed the rest of your time on the OBX.
	9:15am Uncle Michael: Metal.
	9:16am holland oats: mornin' um & drum somes!
	9:17am Uncle Michael: Holland!
	9:18am Rich in NC: Heading home now, real pleasure to meet you and your misses,
	9:19am Lewis: good morning UM - listening on the East Coast for a change... still not adjusted to this Friday Flip... all the same it is a beautiful morning!
	9:20am Uncle Michael: Lewis! Likewise, Rich.
	9:20am listener james from westwood: Among the many solids the Muppet Show did me was introduce me to "Take a Chance on Me."
	9:27am dan: A fellow Swede paying homage.
	9:29am Uncle Michael: Yep
	9:30am Uncle Michael: Congrats to Rich and other Yankee fans, Dodger fans and Astros fans. I hate you all for the duration.
	9:31am northguineahills: The Muppet Show also introduced me to Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth".
	9:31am Uncle Michael: NGH!
	9:32am listener james from westwood: Yngwie! Release the fucking fury!
	9:32am glenn: i'm now an astros fan, since the jays sucked and the tribe blew it.
	9:34am glenn: but i won't be overly miffed if the cubs beat the astros.
	9:34am listener james from westwood: Ooh, good O'Connor cover.
	9:34am northguineahills: I guess technically I'm a Mets and Rays fan, which means baseball suck for me, just like the NFL (Jaguars and Jets fan). My brothers are huge Cubs fans thanks to WGN in our youth, and go to Wrigley twice a year.
	9:35am Uncle Michael: It's all gravy now...NLCS three years in a row? Pinch me.
	9:35am dan: Yankees will get no. 28 come hell or high water.
	9:35am Uncle Michael: I didn't know you had Chicago roots, NGH.
	9:36am Lewis: MLB's complex and unfriendly contractual structure, plus being on the road for October have lead me to give up on watching baseball for the duration, but there is always the old fashioned box score!
	9:37am glenn: eventually they'll get no. 28, but not this year.
	9:37am Lewis: digging' the tribute by the way...
	9:38am northguineahills: I don't, but In Japan we had rebroadcasts of WGN (mostly Cubs games, and occasionally news), and in FL, WGN was part of our basic cable.
	9:40am northguineahills: I, myself, have only been to O'Hare, but my wife is there every other week to work on the Obama Presidential Library.
	9:41am Uncle Michael: Thanks, Lewis.
	9:41am Mr C: It's Toddlin' Town today..
	9:42am Uncle Michael: Mr. C! It sure is. But our pitching is absolutely spent. I don't think we get past the Dodgers...
	9:45am dan: Any foreign language covers in today's program UM?
	9:52am Uncle Michael: Sort of, Dan.
	9:53am βrian: Well look, I made it before 9 o'clock!
	9:54am Uncle Michael: Brian!
	9:56am annie: i had to watch "Muriel's Wedding" again, what a great film, such fun!
	9:56am Uncle Michael: I don't know it.
	9:58am dan: If you have Netflix, bookmark Muriel's Wedding. Excellent film
	9:59am Uncle Michael: ok
	10:00am listener james from westwood: Yes yes yes to Portishead.
	10:01am listener james from westwood: And to this Eurovision banger!
	10:09am dan: Mike Love has gone Swedish.
	🛒 10:09am Brian in UK: Uncle, by jove you are taking it to the bridge. Another example of the great lyric writer that is Mike Love.
	10:13am dan: Glad you didn't include Pierce Brosnan's insipid cover of SOS.
	10:13am dan: Richard Thompson's Money: Excellent cover
	10:14am Roberto: WFMU: Insipid Covers Welcome Here.
	10:17am Funky16Corners: Morning Unk!
	🛒 10:17am Brian in UK: Insipid Covers, are they a Boston band?
	10:17am annie: UM, "Muriel's Wedding" is chock full of ABBA tunes.
	10:18am Uncle Michael: Larry! Ahh, I see, Annie.
	10:18am glenn: i knew boston did insipid originals. i didn't know they did covers.
	10:21am Paul Sherratt: Hadn't heard that Richard Thompson before. Very good
	10:21am Funky16Corners: I can't believe I missed Mike Love. That'll teach me to go to the pharmacy to get life saving medication.
	10:22am Uncle Michael: Paul! It was something else, Larry.
	10:22am glenn: sounds like you better get your life saving meds while you can.
	10:22am Funky16Corners: I believe that.
	10:22am Uncle Michael: There is no life without Love.
	10:25am hyde: goin' back a bit, but that Richard Thompson cover was aces
	10:27am northguineahills: Wait, Culture Club recorded in 1999? I think of heard of hint of that, but it still feels like news to me.
	10:27am Uncle Michael: maybe just for this tribute.
	10:31am ken krimstein: It was Joe vs. Dusty. New Cub vs. Loveable Loser Cub. Joe is the complete real deal. I hope you were listening to the “home town call” with Pat and “former all-star” Ron Kumer.
	10:32am Lewis: pretty sure that one was not in English...
	10:33am Lewis: was going to say foreign language, but that would have all depended on where you are listening etc.
	10:34am ndbob: morning UM and everyone!
	10:35am Gary: yABBA dABBA do
	10:36am βrian: Puddles has quite the voice.
	10:37am Uncle Michael: Ken! Bob! Gary!
	10:38am βrian: I presume he's in full clown regalia?
	10:38am listener james from westwood: Puddles!!
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Ken, I usually only make that effort for Fox broadcasts but that's likely to change. Ron Darling is brutal.
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Yes, Brian.
	10:39am annie: how wonderful!! i love the puddles pity party
	10:39am dan: Puddles is Neil Diamond meeting ABBA
	10:39am glenn: puddles freakin' rocks.
	10:39am βrian: Salvaging ABBA, maybe.
	10:42am ndbob: heya Annie!
	10:45am annie: hey nd!!!! are you high and dry?
	10:47am ndbob: yep annie - 90 yesterday tho
	10:48am annie: oy vey!!! we hit 86 i think. temps are supposed to get cooler soon, i'll be grateful for that.
	10:49am dan: How do some of these performers sleep at night knowing that they've butchered some fine ABBA songs.
	10:49am ndbob: strange weather - a hurricane is heading for Ireland - tho well below hurricane force winds when it gets there
	10:52am Uncle Michael: The originals aren't actually gone, Dan. We still have them.
	10:54am hyde: i sure hope that hurricane is called Hurricane O'Reilly
	10:56am βrian: I was ABBA'd out before I was born.
	10:56am ndbob: Hurricane Ophelia -so kind of fits when it hits the UK
	10:58am Funky16Corners: Getting a real Taco vibe off of this one
	10:58am dan: Deutchified ABBA.
	10:59am Lewis: for some reason this makes me wonder if the Tiger Lilies ever covered ABBA...
	11:00am northguineahills: Most models I've seen showing Ophelia turning extratropical yet remaining intact w/ Cat 1 winds when it kisses the emerald isle.
	11:00am Spaniel: oh boy, glad I didn't miss this one!
	11:00am Uncle Michael: Brian! Spaniel!
	11:02am hyde: wow, i haven't heard Lush in a looooooong time
	11:02am βrian: The Sex Pistols should've covered ABBA.
	11:03am northguineahills: Lush, a fave of mine! (This is a abba cover? Never knew, and I've had this album since I was 16.)
	11:05am Uncle Michael: Indeed, NGH.
	11:11am Dominick: nice
	11:12am doctorjazz: Late arrival (meeting, yuck!), hi all Hinkers and Dinkers!
	11:12am 23 Wolves: YES! YES! YES! Really really really really good show!
	11:12am Uncle Michael: Dominick! Doc! 23WW!
	11:13am dan: I have an idea for an upcoming show UM: Artists doing their own songs in foreign languages.
	11:14am Uncle Michael: It' such a good idea that it's been done often...not often by me. It's been at least one DJ's marathon premium.
	11:14am northguineahills: This is an actual Abba song I honestly really like.
	11:15am PsychopathJimFields: There was something in the air that night It smelled just like Fernando (Early teenage song parodies) Hey Uncle Michael!
	11:19am 23 Wolves: Helloween! Hooray!
	11:20am Uncle Michael: Jim!
	11:20am hyde: i gotta go out and buy a Sicilian slice for lunch and some takeout samosas for dinner. thanks for the tunes!
	11:21am Uncle Michael: See ya, Hyde!
	11:21am northguineahills: This is so hilarious I'm loling....
	11:24am Mike East: My wife just started working with a guy named Fernando...every time she takes or covers one of his classes, I start singing the ABBA song. Now she's mad at me cuz she can't talk to the guy without humming the song in her head. Love that song, man.
	11:25am Uncle Michael: Mike!
	11:25am northguineahills: I would do the same, Mike!
	11:26am northguineahills: Although I also have the Arrested Development scene permanently tattooed in my brain w/ Fernando playing as well.
	11:26am dan: The next songwriters you should focus on are: Richard and Robert Sherman, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Holland/Dozier/Holland
	11:27am listener james from westwood: @Mike East: I'd be doing exactly as you did.
	11:28am Uncle Michael: I'll take it under advisement, Dan.
	11:33am Funky16Corners: Is there any possibility of some Hep Stars?
	11:34am Uncle Michael: Not doing any Hep Stars today.
	11:34am frenchee: B&B are kool krooners
	11:35am Uncle Michael: Frenchee!
	11:35am frenchee: Hiya Unka Michael!
	11:37am dan: Spanish ABBA. Swedish meatballs with a side of Tabasco sauce.
	11:38am frenchee: Arriba!
	11:39am glenn: tabasco's american.
	11:40am dan: I associate tabasco with Mexican/Spanish cuisine.
	11:40am frenchee: haa, you betcha Louisiana!!
	11:42am listener james from westwood: Sagt to me!
	11:42am glenn: huh. i associate spanish with spain, where they don't really use hot sauce.
	11:43am dan: Then I must be thinking of Americanized Spanish/Mexican cuisine.
	11:43am doctorjazz: Uh Oh, I guess nothing will happen if you run over today...
	11:44am Funky16Corners: If he does I start driving to Kansas
	11:44am northguineahills: Most of my wife's friends in Mexico don't like spicy foods (she does). They were surprised a gringo like me guzzled salsa picante down.
	11:45am Mark Hurst: Great show today, U.M., thanks!
	11:45am Uncle Michael: Mark! Thanks!
	11:45am dan: The lead singer of this band reminds me of Liam Gallagher.
	11:46am frenchee: so did the singer just sing "WICKTORY?"
	11:46am βrian: I put chili pepper in most things I cook, thought I don't care for intense heat. It needs to be in balance.
	11:47am Uncle Michael: Yes, Frenchee.
	11:47am frenchee: LOVE IT
	11:48am annie: well, it's been a hellova show UN, thanks!!
	11:48am doctorjazz: @Funky16Corners, great show Wednesday night (had to catch it in the archives to get my beauty sleep...) And thanks for the great tunes this morning, UM!
	11:48am Funky16Corners: This is cool! Have you heard the Any Trouble version of Name of the Game? And thanks Doctor!
	11:49am Uncle Michael: Yes, Larry. Some songs, there were so many versions to choose from.
	11:50am βrian: Tabasco is American but it's made only 10 minutes away from New Iberia, so that counts as Spanish to me.
	11:50am Funky16Corners: I was shocked when I picked up the album. It also has a live version of Springsteen's 'Growing Up'
	11:50am dan: ABBA rap
	11:51am Uncle Michael: Larry, is it cool enough for me to go over?
	11:51am Funky16Corners: Sure
	11:52am Uncle Michael: I love you. I talk too much.
	11:52am Funky16Corners: Reciprocated, I'm sure.
	11:53am northguineahills: The Nils Landgren Funk Unit sound a lot like G Love and Special Sauce.
	11:54am Uncle Michael: Nills Landgren and Tobasco Sauce
	11:56am northguineahills: I like intense heat every now and while, if there also good flavor present. Not a fan capsaicin extracts, only natural pepper sauces.
	11:56am Funky16Corners: Yeah, if I can't taste the food anymore what's the point?
	11:57am ndbob: excellent show UM!
	11:57am Asheville Jon: looking forward to hearing the whole show on the archives! thanks for the ABBA today!
	11:57am Roberto: Bai Unk!
	11:57am Asheville Jon: this Nashville Train is excellent!
	11:57am Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM!
	11:57am dan: I had no idea that ABBA was covered in so many genres.
	11:58am Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone. I'm sneaking in one more!
	11:58am Asheville Jon: dan: ABBA is the greatest supergroup of all time. they transcend all genres
	12:01pm βrian: Greatest? Meh. Feh.
	12:01pm dan: Asheville Jon: true
	12:02pm listener james from westwood: Bloody amazing show, UM!
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all!
	12:05pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Unk!
	1:35am Matt in Nebraska: I recall hearing a version of S.O.S. on WFMU several years ago, I believe it was from that Abba-salutely comp. I remember it having a really cool marching beat on the snare drum that knocked me out.
	5:57am pacific standard simon: Missed this show, but I put Superette's "Knowing Me, Knowing You" on my break-up CD. sniff :-(

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 13, 2017

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.

	9:15am dan: So many ABBA tribute albums. What's next, Surf music tribute to ABBA?

	9:15am Uncle Michael: Metal.
	9:16am holland oats: mornin' um & drum somes!
	9:17am Uncle Michael: Holland!
	9:18am Rich in NC: Heading home now, real pleasure to meet you and your misses,
	9:19am Lewis: good morning UM - listening on the East Coast for a change... still not adjusted to this Friday Flip... all the same it is a beautiful morning!
	9:20am Uncle Michael: Lewis! Likewise, Rich.
	9:20am listener james from westwood: Among the many solids the Muppet Show did me was introduce me to "Take a Chance on Me."
	9:27am dan: A fellow Swede paying homage.
	9:29am Uncle Michael: Yep
	9:30am Uncle Michael: Congrats to Rich and other Yankee fans, Dodger fans and Astros fans. I hate you all for the duration.
	9:31am northguineahills: The Muppet Show also introduced me to Buffalo Springfield's "For What it's Worth".
	9:31am Uncle Michael: NGH!
	9:32am listener james from westwood: Yngwie! Release the fucking fury!
	9:32am glenn: i'm now an astros fan, since the jays sucked and the tribe blew it.
	9:34am glenn: but i won't be overly miffed if the cubs beat the astros.
	9:34am listener james from westwood: Ooh, good O'Connor cover.
	9:34am northguineahills: I guess technically I'm a Mets and Rays fan, which means baseball suck for me, just like the NFL (Jaguars and Jets fan). My brothers are huge Cubs fans thanks to WGN in our youth, and go to Wrigley twice a year.
	9:35am Uncle Michael: It's all gravy now...NLCS three years in a row? Pinch me.
	9:35am dan: Yankees will get no. 28 come hell or high water.
	9:35am Uncle Michael: I didn't know you had Chicago roots, NGH.
	9:36am Lewis: MLB's complex and unfriendly contractual structure, plus being on the road for October have lead me to give up on watching baseball for the duration, but there is always the old fashioned box score!
	9:37am glenn: eventually they'll get no. 28, but not this year.
	9:37am Lewis: digging' the tribute by the way...
	9:38am northguineahills: I don't, but In Japan we had rebroadcasts of WGN (mostly Cubs games, and occasionally news), and in FL, WGN was part of our basic cable.
	9:40am northguineahills: I, myself, have only been to O'Hare, but my wife is there every other week to work on the Obama Presidential Library.
	9:41am Uncle Michael: Thanks, Lewis.
	9:41am Mr C: It's Toddlin' Town today..
	9:42am Uncle Michael: Mr. C! It sure is. But our pitching is absolutely spent. I don't think we get past the Dodgers...
	9:45am dan: Any foreign language covers in today's program UM?
	9:52am Uncle Michael: Sort of, Dan.
	9:53am βrian: Well look, I made it before 9 o'clock!
	9:54am Uncle Michael: Brian!
	9:56am annie: i had to watch "Muriel's Wedding" again, what a great film, such fun!
	9:56am Uncle Michael: I don't know it.
	9:58am dan: If you have Netflix, bookmark Muriel's Wedding. Excellent film
	9:59am Uncle Michael: ok
	10:00am listener james from westwood: Yes yes yes to Portishead.
	10:01am listener james from westwood: And to this Eurovision banger!
	10:09am dan: Mike Love has gone Swedish.
	🛒 10:09am Brian in UK: Uncle, by jove you are taking it to the bridge. Another example of the great lyric writer that is Mike Love.
	10:13am dan: Glad you didn't include Pierce Brosnan's insipid cover of SOS.
	10:13am dan: Richard Thompson's Money: Excellent cover
	10:14am Roberto: WFMU: Insipid Covers Welcome Here.
	10:17am Funky16Corners: Morning Unk!
	🛒 10:17am Brian in UK: Insipid Covers, are they a Boston band?
	10:17am annie: UM, "Muriel's Wedding" is chock full of ABBA tunes.
	10:18am Uncle Michael: Larry! Ahh, I see, Annie.
	10:18am glenn: i knew boston did insipid originals. i didn't know they did covers.
	10:21am Paul Sherratt: Hadn't heard that Richard Thompson before. Very good
	10:21am Funky16Corners: I can't believe I missed Mike Love. That'll teach me to go to the pharmacy to get life saving medication.
	10:22am Uncle Michael: Paul! It was something else, Larry.
	10:22am glenn: sounds like you better get your life saving meds while you can.
	10:22am Funky16Corners: I believe that.
	10:22am Uncle Michael: There is no life without Love.
	10:25am hyde: goin' back a bit, but that Richard Thompson cover was aces
	10:27am northguineahills: Wait, Culture Club recorded in 1999? I think of heard of hint of that, but it still feels like news to me.
	10:27am Uncle Michael: maybe just for this tribute.
	10:31am ken krimstein: It was Joe vs. Dusty. New Cub vs. Loveable Loser Cub. Joe is the complete real deal. I hope you were listening to the “home town call” with Pat and “former all-star” Ron Kumer.
	10:32am Lewis: pretty sure that one was not in English...
	10:33am Lewis: was going to say foreign language, but that would have all depended on where you are listening etc.
	10:34am ndbob: morning UM and everyone!
	10:35am Gary: yABBA dABBA do
	10:36am βrian: Puddles has quite the voice.
	10:37am Uncle Michael: Ken! Bob! Gary!
	10:38am βrian: I presume he's in full clown regalia?
	10:38am listener james from westwood: Puddles!!
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Ken, I usually only make that effort for Fox broadcasts but that's likely to change. Ron Darling is brutal.
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Yes, Brian.
	10:39am annie: how wonderful!! i love the puddles pity party
	10:39am dan: Puddles is Neil Diamond meeting ABBA
	10:39am glenn: puddles freakin' rocks.
	10:39am βrian: Salvaging ABBA, maybe.
	10:42am ndbob: heya Annie!
	10:45am annie: hey nd!!!! are you high and dry?
	10:47am ndbob: yep annie - 90 yesterday tho
	10:48am annie: oy vey!!! we hit 86 i think. temps are supposed to get cooler soon, i'll be grateful for that.
	10:49am dan: How do some of these performers sleep at night knowing that they've butchered some fine ABBA songs.
	10:49am ndbob: strange weather - a hurricane is heading for Ireland - tho well below hurricane force winds when it gets there
	10:52am Uncle Michael: The originals aren't actually gone, Dan. We still have them.
	10:54am hyde: i sure hope that hurricane is called Hurricane O'Reilly
	10:56am βrian: I was ABBA'd out before I was born.
	10:56am ndbob: Hurricane Ophelia -so kind of fits when it hits the UK
	10:58am Funky16Corners: Getting a real Taco vibe off of this one
	10:58am dan: Deutchified ABBA.
	10:59am Lewis: for some reason this makes me wonder if the Tiger Lilies ever covered ABBA...
	11:00am northguineahills: Most models I've seen showing Ophelia turning extratropical yet remaining intact w/ Cat 1 winds when it kisses the emerald isle.
	11:00am Spaniel: oh boy, glad I didn't miss this one!
	11:00am Uncle Michael: Brian! Spaniel!
	11:02am hyde: wow, i haven't heard Lush in a looooooong time
	11:02am βrian: The Sex Pistols should've covered ABBA.
	11:03am northguineahills: Lush, a fave of mine! (This is a abba cover? Never knew, and I've had this album since I was 16.)
	11:05am Uncle Michael: Indeed, NGH.
	11:11am Dominick: nice
	11:12am doctorjazz: Late arrival (meeting, yuck!), hi all Hinkers and Dinkers!
	11:12am 23 Wolves: YES! YES! YES! Really really really really good show!
	11:12am Uncle Michael: Dominick! Doc! 23WW!
	11:13am dan: I have an idea for an upcoming show UM: Artists doing their own songs in foreign languages.
	11:14am Uncle Michael: It' such a good idea that it's been done often...not often by me. It's been at least one DJ's marathon premium.
	11:14am northguineahills: This is an actual Abba song I honestly really like.
	11:15am PsychopathJimFields: There was something in the air that night It smelled just like Fernando (Early teenage song parodies) Hey Uncle Michael!
	11:19am 23 Wolves: Helloween! Hooray!
	11:20am Uncle Michael: Jim!
	11:20am hyde: i gotta go out and buy a Sicilian slice for lunch and some takeout samosas for dinner. thanks for the tunes!
	11:21am Uncle Michael: See ya, Hyde!
	11:21am northguineahills: This is so hilarious I'm loling....
	11:24am Mike East: My wife just started working with a guy named Fernando...every time she takes or covers one of his classes, I start singing the ABBA song. Now she's mad at me cuz she can't talk to the guy without humming the song in her head. Love that song, man.
	11:25am Uncle Michael: Mike!
	11:25am northguineahills: I would do the same, Mike!
	11:26am northguineahills: Although I also have the Arrested Development scene permanently tattooed in my brain w/ Fernando playing as well.
	11:26am dan: The next songwriters you should focus on are: Richard and Robert Sherman, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Holland/Dozier/Holland
	11:27am listener james from westwood: @Mike East: I'd be doing exactly as you did.
	11:28am Uncle Michael: I'll take it under advisement, Dan.
	11:33am Funky16Corners: Is there any possibility of some Hep Stars?
	11:34am Uncle Michael: Not doing any Hep Stars today.
	11:34am frenchee: B&B are kool krooners
	11:35am Uncle Michael: Frenchee!
	11:35am frenchee: Hiya Unka Michael!
	11:37am dan: Spanish ABBA. Swedish meatballs with a side of Tabasco sauce.
	11:38am frenchee: Arriba!
	11:39am glenn: tabasco's american.
	11:40am dan: I associate tabasco with Mexican/Spanish cuisine.
	11:40am frenchee: haa, you betcha Louisiana!!
	11:42am listener james from westwood: Sagt to me!
	11:42am glenn: huh. i associate spanish with spain, where they don't really use hot sauce.
	11:43am dan: Then I must be thinking of Americanized Spanish/Mexican cuisine.
	11:43am doctorjazz: Uh Oh, I guess nothing will happen if you run over today...
	11:44am Funky16Corners: If he does I start driving to Kansas
	11:44am northguineahills: Most of my wife's friends in Mexico don't like spicy foods (she does). They were surprised a gringo like me guzzled salsa picante down.
	11:45am Mark Hurst: Great show today, U.M., thanks!
	11:45am Uncle Michael: Mark! Thanks!
	11:45am dan: The lead singer of this band reminds me of Liam Gallagher.
	11:46am frenchee: so did the singer just sing "WICKTORY?"
	11:46am βrian: I put chili pepper in most things I cook, thought I don't care for intense heat. It needs to be in balance.
	11:47am Uncle Michael: Yes, Frenchee.
	11:47am frenchee: LOVE IT
	11:48am annie: well, it's been a hellova show UN, thanks!!
	11:48am doctorjazz: @Funky16Corners, great show Wednesday night (had to catch it in the archives to get my beauty sleep...) And thanks for the great tunes this morning, UM!
	11:48am Funky16Corners: This is cool! Have you heard the Any Trouble version of Name of the Game? And thanks Doctor!
	11:49am Uncle Michael: Yes, Larry. Some songs, there were so many versions to choose from.
	11:50am βrian: Tabasco is American but it's made only 10 minutes away from New Iberia, so that counts as Spanish to me.
	11:50am Funky16Corners: I was shocked when I picked up the album. It also has a live version of Springsteen's 'Growing Up'
	11:50am dan: ABBA rap
	11:51am Uncle Michael: Larry, is it cool enough for me to go over?
	11:51am Funky16Corners: Sure
	11:52am Uncle Michael: I love you. I talk too much.
	11:52am Funky16Corners: Reciprocated, I'm sure.
	11:53am northguineahills: The Nils Landgren Funk Unit sound a lot like G Love and Special Sauce.
	11:54am Uncle Michael: Nills Landgren and Tobasco Sauce
	11:56am northguineahills: I like intense heat every now and while, if there also good flavor present. Not a fan capsaicin extracts, only natural pepper sauces.
	11:56am Funky16Corners: Yeah, if I can't taste the food anymore what's the point?
	11:57am ndbob: excellent show UM!
	11:57am Asheville Jon: looking forward to hearing the whole show on the archives! thanks for the ABBA today!
	11:57am Roberto: Bai Unk!
	11:57am Asheville Jon: this Nashville Train is excellent!
	11:57am Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM!
	11:57am dan: I had no idea that ABBA was covered in so many genres.
	11:58am Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone. I'm sneaking in one more!
	11:58am Asheville Jon: dan: ABBA is the greatest supergroup of all time. they transcend all genres
	12:01pm βrian: Greatest? Meh. Feh.
	12:01pm dan: Asheville Jon: true
	12:02pm listener james from westwood: Bloody amazing show, UM!
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks all!
	12:05pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Unk!
	1:35am Matt in Nebraska: I recall hearing a version of S.O.S. on WFMU several years ago, I believe it was from that Abba-salutely comp. I remember it having a really cool marching beat on the snare drum that knocked me out.
	5:57am pacific standard simon: Missed this show, but I put Superette's "Knowing Me, Knowing You" on my break-up CD. sniff :-(
