	12:03pm βrian: Alack, no satisfaction!
	12:04pm rw: Hi!
	12:05pm northguineahills: I've driven through Montgomery exactly twice. Once on the way to Memphis, and once on the way back.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Dan! James! Brian! Roberto! Dominick! Doug! Sem! Larry! RW! NGH!

	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Coel! Doc!
	12:10pm Funky16Corners: I sense a theme!
	12:11pm dan: Are we having an all underrated Motown show today?
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Gregory!
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: EC what you did there...
	12:11pm Dominick: @Funky16Corners - you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
	12:11pm coelacanth∅: songs Elvis covered? ...i'm still trying to figure out S** T* D*** T*** U*

	12:13pm Webhamster Henry: Shut that Dump Truck Up!* * Dump Truck might be a euphemism
	12:13pm Listener Gregory: I said many of the things Big Joe is saying to my ex-wife.
	🛒 12:14pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning! I knew the Fleetwood Mac version was a cover but I'd never heard the original before. Very cool.
	12:14pm coelacanth∅: shut doesn't work. 5 letter word ...and EC didn't cover honey hush did he?
	12:15pm rw: coel, I got as far as ... up and gave up.
	12:15pm dan: McCartney covers Honey Hush in concert from time to time
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Henry! Lizzie!
	12:16pm rw: Only Uncle Michael knows.
	12:19pm rw: Shove Then Donuts Toward Us
	12:19pm rw: Them
	12:20pm Sem: Shove, then, Donuts toward Us.
	12:21pm johnk77: great show @uncle michael it is national donut day:>
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: John!
	12:24pm dan: Whitney sounds just like her mother
	12:24pm Sem: www.wsfa.com...
	12:26pm dan: Looks like it's not an all Motown show.
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: rw unless advised otherwise i accept that as puzzle solved
	12:35pm rw: Patsy taught me this one.
	12:36pm northguineahills: Never been a fan of Elvis Costello... Don't know why... don't even own any vinyl by him. counterpoint: I never got Scott Walker until his last few albums, which clicked w/ me and slowly found myself liking his earlier and earlier stuff on each listen.
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: getting mighty crowded i did not hear by Elvis first (not sure it was Betty though)....most of those songs i never heard at all before today.
	12:37pm northguineahills: So, I was around almost 40 by the time I got Scott Walker, so maybe there's still hope for me w/ Elvis Costello.
	12:39pm coelacanth∅: i lost interest in him after get happy, but did ultimately get a few of his later albums. this year's model is still a perfect album, and my aim is true is also great.
	12:39pm Asheville Jon: Howdy folks!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	12:41pm rw: Loved hearing Watching the Detectives when it would come on the radio way back then. Also remember liking the Mighty Like a Rose LP but it's been a while.
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: I'm making a seltzer run. Anyone need anything?
	12:42pm northguineahills: Merle!
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: mushroom matar
	12:42pm Lane Gray: Cool show, and theme
	12:42pm Roberto: A haggard Merle on this one.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	12:44pm coelacanth∅: and HANK!
	12:45pm Lane Gray: I'd rather hear Elvis's country than the bro-country crap.
	12:45pm johnk77: costello played sweet dreams live with the attractions augmented with john mcphee on pedal steel the very brief almost blue almost 1982 tour i saw it at la sports arena moonlighters and phil alvin in support
	12:47pm doctorjazz: EC has a way with country music, like his take.
	12:50pm northguineahills: Working b/tn a caterer and a bakery is cruel (although two offices down is a crematorium).
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Ugh, didn't mean to play this duet...
	12:50pm dan: @UM Leave it on.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Damn you Alan Jackson.
	🛒 12:51pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I loved Elvis Costello's original stuff but lost interest when he started doing covers. Damn, I had to go to a meeting and missed June Tabor!
	12:52pm Asheville Jon: icky icky alan jackson.
	12:53pm johnk77: jerry chesnut wrote a good year for the roses and several others http://www.jerrychesnut.net/
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: I think EC did a lot to spur interest in classic country with an audience that would have overlooked it completely. Granted he had the Dead and the Byrds/Burritos before him, but it was a new generation
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Agreed.
	12:54pm johnk77: the best radio show i've heard this year on any stream bringing a tear to my wife's eye
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: thank you, John.
	12:55pm Lane Gray: Lizzie in defense of covers, Elvis thought they were worth recording . And ,in the words of deejay and great fiddler Eddie Stubbs, once a great song always a great song. (and I'd rather listen to other people sing Harlan Howard than listen to Harlan sing Harlan Howard.
	12:55pm Funky16Corners: When are we going to the Charlie Rich renaissance the world deserves?
	12:57pm Lane Gray: Oooh ! I love the western swing lyrics to this than the country (the later verses have different lyrics )
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Larry, did you read the Charlie Rich story in the Oxford music annual a few years ago?
	12:57pm johnk77: next time i am driving thru kansas i might to buy @um lunch @funky16 i agree it would great if charlie rich became hip
	12:57pm Funky16Corners: I did not, but he fascinates me, the way he straddles rock/R&B/and country
	🛒 12:58pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I agree, they're covers of great songs, just not what I liked about Elvis - I liked his songwriting wordplay.
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: Uncle. @F16C Roger McGuinn did a wonderful cover of Charlie's 'Peace In The Valley'
	12:59pm johnk77: carol points out this is a waltz
	1:00pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - all the Byrds and folks in the Byrds orbit had a taste for the good stuff, and Hillman went on to a pretty successful mainstream country career
	1:00pm Lane Gray: It was when Webb did it Did Elvis cut it in 2 or 4?
	1:03pm Funky16Corners: I had no idea about 'Il Sogno'. I only knew the Mendelssohn 'Midsummers Night Dream'
	🛒 1:04pm Brian in UK: @F16C if there was a moment that my head was turned (and has stayed turned), it would be hearing Mr Tambourine Man for the first time when it was released.
	1:05pm northguineahills: If i had to wait for a renaissance of all past artists I listened to, my aural palette would be severely limited.
	1:06pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Fingers crossed for some Psycho!
	1:07pm Funky16Corners: Nothing's stopping ME from listening. I just think Charlie deserves a bigger audience, and one that understands him as something more important than just a country hitmaker.
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: Gram's finest moment!
	1:08pm northguineahills: I never knew Elvis Costello did classic country, I've only heard his 70s-early 80s stuff (and I have a ton classic country and old country rock).
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - I meant Charlie Rich
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Oscar, I'm afraid Dr. Demento introduced me to Psycho, not Elvis.
	1:09pm dan: Speaking of people who deserved bigger American careers, here's a list: The Seekers Gilbert O'Sullivan Gene Pitney PJ Proby Murray Head Al Stewart
	🛒 1:10pm Brian in UK: @F16C hard to disagree. Elvis C would probably say the same.
	1:11pm northguineahills: I know, Larry. My wife never liked country outside of Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton (which I had to work on her when we met) until this last winter when I played her Becky's dj premium.
	1:11pm Dean: @dan: A buddy of mine due to turn 60 in about a week hired Al Stewart to play his 50th.
	1:11pm The Oscar: @UM That's fair. My dad introduced me (to Jack Kittel's version). My mom once said, "It kind of bothers me how much you and your father like this song."
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	🛒 1:13pm Brian in UK: Saw GP once, his last gig with The Byrds.
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: Wow! No kidding?
	1:14pm Lane Gray: And, Funky, Herb went on to overplay the steel (and write one of the classic bluegrass ballads). NGH, I'll call Cash 'country' when I hear fiddle and steel (the closest I have heard was one album with a lap steel). He played his own game.
	1:15pm johnk77: interesting that country rock perhaps ran out of gas, diesel, and maybe drugs in the later seventies
	1:15pm Lane Gray: This thing sounds a LOT like Moonglow
	🛒 1:17pm Brian in UK: My first gig July '68. This was it. www.invaluable.com...
	1:18pm doctorjazz: They don't put shows like that together any more...
	1:19pm The Oscar: I think Link Wray introduced me to "Hidden Charms." It sounds much different with a human-sounding singer.
	1:19pm johnk77: @brianuk who was grapefruit?
	1:19pm rw: One thing for sure. Elvis got good taste.
	1:20pm Funky16Corners: Grapefruit was George Alexander's (brother of Angus Young of AC/DC) band.
	1:20pm dan: @Dean If I was stinkin rich, I'd go through my list of favorites and hire whoever I want for
	1:20pm Sem: Sweet, BiUK. What a line-up!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Grapefruit is GREAT. Isn't Steve Stanley reissuing their stuff on Now Sounds?
	1:20pm northguineahills: @Lane: I have plenty of Cash w/ steel, only a handful tunes w/ a fiddle, though....
	1:21pm Dominick: Yes, Grapefruit !!
	1:21pm Sem: What are those ticket prices in decimal money?
	🛒 1:21pm Brian in UK: @john77. not sure if they played that gig, cannot remember them. Funny that The Easybeats were playing, keep it in the family.
	1:22pm Funky16Corners: I love Percy's version of this.
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: Sem most expensive 25/- = £1.25.
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Love this version of "... Pouring Water..." .
	1:23pm Dean: My friend isn't stinking rich, but he is well off. Was for a time eBay's number one retailer, for instance. The Stewart show was fortuitous. My buddy had been a fan from the early LPs, and Stewart resided nearby in Southern California.
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Joe Cocker previewed 'With a Little Help'. His current single was 'Margerine'. He was interesting to see for the first time.
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Elvis covered Yoko?!?!?!
	1:25pm dan: @Dean If I had connections and/or a lot of money, I'd look into inviting a big name musician to perform for me. My personal pick would be Roger Daltrey.
	1:25pm northguineahills: Ono!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Al Stewart is touring "The Year of the Cat." he's playing not far from me but not when I'm able to go.
	🛒 1:25pm Brian in UK: There was a girl behind who was a fan of The Move. All night she shouted 'Trevor' (Burton)
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Elvis did this for the Yoko tribute album.
	1:26pm northguineahills: Oh, wow UM!
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Does he do the scream?
	1:27pm Dean: Thanks, Declan, for breaking up the Beatles.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: I'll play it in two weeks.
	1:27pm northguineahills: Finally got my appetite after being sick most of the week. Off for a taco as I'm too lazy to go home and cook. haha, Dean!
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Have one for me, NGH!
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Every Man Has a Woman ?
	1:31pm dan: Yoko hasn't done much good music, so anything she does, someone else would do better.
	1:31pm Funky16Corners: Ooooooooh tacos...
	1:35pm Lane Gray: Have you gone out east to California for Tacos El Mexicano?
	1:37pm Doug Schulkind: My Funny Valentine. My father's favorite song.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: That's great to know, Doug. It's retroactively for him.
	1:39pm Dean: There's a persistent taco thread on this show's comment board, it seems. Hinky Dinky Taco Time?
	1:39pm johnk77: a 2017 analog remastering that includes hot burrito #1 https://www.interventionrecords.com/records/the-gilded-palace-of-sin/
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Tacos are life.
	1:40pm Jeff Moore: "In two weeks..."? Holy f***, I'm in the hotseat just one week from now. Jeez. I need to try to learn what music is about and how to play it.
	1:42pm Mike Sin: This Roger McGuinn track always reminded of McGuinn doing an impression of Tom Petty doing an impression of Roger McGuinn. ;)
	🛒 1:42pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Roger McGuinn's voice always gets me.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Good luck with that, janitor-boy.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: Gilded Palace is tempting, but it doesn't take much.
	1:43pm Jeff Moore: @UM: I'm hearing that spoken like "monkey-boy" in Buckaroo Banzai.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: That's exactly right.
	1:45pm Jeff Moore: I was hoping so.
	1:47pm Ann Nonemus: Jeff Moore, I've heard that Schulkind tends to run late. You probably only need, like, 20 minutes' worth of music.
	1:47pm Jeff Moore: In one week, everybody enjoy the show by Kurt Gottschalk, an excellent DJ. Uncle Michael will be back after that.
	1:47pm rw: You Bowed Down may be the one that sounds the most like EC to me so far. I'd kind of like to hear the Ono cover.
	1:47pm Dean: "Neat Neat Neat" on Damned Damned Damned might be my favorite song song song.
	1:48pm Jeff Moore: @Ann... I feel like we've met before.
	1:49pm Dean: ...if only because it is the prelude to one of my favorite albums albums albums.
	1:49pm rw: It's a Damned Damned Damned good song song song. That's for sure sure sure.
	🛒 1:50pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dave Edmunds reminds me the 70s weren't all bad.
	1:50pm Dean: You can say that again!
	1:51pm Funky16Corners: Gotta head out UM. Will catch the rest in the archive!
	1:51pm Rich in Washington: I finally got around to watching that Stiff tour doc. Works as advertised. Highly recommended.
	🛒 1:51pm Brian in UK: john77, always thought that the production on Gilded Palace could have been so much better.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Larry!
	1:52pm dan: Elvis actually wrote Girls Talk.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: yes, dan
	1:54pm dan: I saw Nick Lowe for free at Lincoln Center. It was just him and his guitar. He ended with What's So Funny.
	1:54pm doctorjazz: Nuttun' but the hits!
	1:54pm Dean: This is the song Elvis taught me, even though I was a Brinsley Schwarz fan well before the smuggled b-side. Hadn't heard this BS track.
	1:55pm geezerette: What's so funny?
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Geeze!
	1:56pm dan: Two other people who should have had bigger careers in the US were Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe.
	1:58pm geezerette: Howdy,UM! Cricket donuts? Anybody?
	1:58pm johnk77: @brianuk i agree old burrito vinyl did not have best sound the remaster claims to be better i think i will get it for an xmas gift
	1:58pm Lane Gray: Sem, in current US money , those ticket prices ranged from a high of $6.25 down to 82 cents (a shilling was basically worth a quarter ) (sorry about the lateness, I just noticed it)
	1:58pm Sem: Extra legs in mine, please.
	1:59pm Dean: So, no "Stranger in the House"? Rachel Sweet?
	1:59pm geezerette: Sem, coming right up!
	1:59pm Sem: Thanks, Lane! Appreciated.
	2:00pm Sem: Jiminey, that was fast.
	2:00pm geezerette: They'll walk themselves over.
	2:01pm johnk77: rockpile did a great live radio show maybe king biscuit? i taped it off the air
	2:01pm Lane Gray: Dan, Dave had some notable success on the other side of the glass in the US (Janie Fricke's "Playing With the Queen of Hearts was his production and arrangement). Maybe not the same fame, but better bucks.
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: i got a bonus 45 with armed forces but i don't remember what it is. (even though i still have it)
	2:02pm Asheville Jon: mmmmmm pimento cheese. YES need the recipe! pimento cheese on club crackers, oh yeah
	🛒 2:03pm Brian in UK: @john77 I even got a Canadian pressing in the naive hope that it would sound better. @Uncle totally agree on McGuinn he had a good ear, shame his voice was not stronger. Nitpicking.
	2:03pm Rich in Washington: what are pimentos, exactly? Also, I remember those (then) ubiquitous cheese-based sandwich spreads made by Kraft, in those little glass jars with metal lids. Are they still a thing?
	2:03pm Sem: mmmmm Charles Aznavour cheese. It is so French!
	🛒 2:03pm Brian in UK: Char;es Hasnovoice.
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: 3 live recordings...i think that's where i got that from. watching the detectives, alison and something else. (7", maybe not 45)
	2:04pm geezerette: Hilarious lyrics!
	2:04pm dan: Charles Aznavour is 94 years old and still performing today. Amazing.
	2:04pm Spaniel: oh geeze, I want the recipe but have to leave in two minutes. will scour the archives
	2:04pm Rich in Washington: I've got this thing for a Eastern European spread called Ajjvar. It's like eggplant, peppers and I think pimentos.
	2:04pm geezerette: Some girl, or whatever it is he's singing about.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: i know the name aznavour from a reference in a psychedelic furs song.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Spaniel!
	2:07pm Asheville Jon: Yes Rich, Ajjvar (or however you spell it) is suuuuuper good
	2:07pm geezerette: hahaha
	2:07pm Jeff Golick: Yello.
	2:08pm Rich in Washington: I love it! There's a Bosnian cafe/pub in my town that serves cevapi and ajjvar and sour cream and onions on the side. It's super messy to eat but so good.
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:09pm geezerette: Oh god, hide the razor blades.
	2:09pm The Oscar: When I was a kid, I had a book of the unexplained which included a section on the "Gloomy Sunday" legend. It was YEARS before I worked up the nerve to listen to the song.
	2:11pm geezerette: Imagine people trying to dance to this.
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: i first heard this by Billie Holiday when i was around 18. when the mood changed and she sang it was just a dream i was terribly disappointed. what a copout!
	2:12pm Sem: Gloomy? A Hungarian joke: a pessimist says: "Things can't get worse!" Hungarian optimist: "Yes they CAN!"
	2:12pm The Oscar: @coelacanth I was just about to say, so refreshing to hear an English version without the tacked-on ending!
	2:14pm geezerette: Heh, Sem
	2:16pm geezerette: !!! :D
	2:16pm johnk77: Rockpile LIVE at The Palladium 8/20/1979 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOpZ2DL4FnM this is a longer version from the late lamented WLIR Rockpile that night was supporting Blondie
	2:17pm geezerette: Holy Moly, this set!!! EEEEK!!!
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: It's got the creepy.
	2:19pm geezerette: :)
	2:19pm Doug Schulkind: unk. unk. unk.
	2:20pm geezerette: The Graduate! Howdy!
	🛒 2:20pm Brian in UK: Uncle, Padron peppers stuffed with Philly cheese do the job.
	2:21pm geezerette: Wait,this is a woman?!
	2:22pm Sem: Alto x WOW!
	2:23pm Lane Gray: June was short for 'Junior' en.m.wikipedia.org...
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: June was a fella.
	2:24pm Dean: There's a reason Johnny Cash couldn't call it "A Boy Named June."
	2:25pm coelacanth∅: oh - i forgot these songs are all somehow Elvis Costello related
	2:26pm doctorjazz: Another one from the EC make up album, but he did it at 78 RPM. Actually never heard this version nice.
	2:26pm dan: Where did Elvis find the time in a pre-iTunes era to find these obscure songs.
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: Dean -2 reasons.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: He released versions of all of these songs, Coel.
	2:27pm Jeff Golick: I missed the spelling.
	2:27pm Dean: To answer @dan's query: It was a pre-iTunes era. That's where he found the time.
	2:28pm johnk77: elvis costello's dad was a pro musician unfaithful music & disappearing ink is an interesting book
	2:28pm geezerette: Haha! Still speechless from shock!
	2:32pm Mark Hurst: Great show today, UM, thanks! Have to head out now. Happy weekend to all -
	2:33pm coelacanth∅: i'm going to find a sharp pencil and lose it again by then
	2:33pm dan: Now for the main act.
	2:33pm johnk77: fantastic show @um i sent u an email via wfmu
	2:34pm Lewis: who needs a crayon when we have the ARCHIVES!
	2:34pm The Oscar: I'd file this one under "Songs the Bonzos Taught Us."
	2:34pm Dean: So maybe there will be Rachel Sweet...or George Jones.
	2:35pm geezerette: (snappin' fingers...)
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Mark! See ya! Lewis! John, That IS Elvis' dad in the gif!
	2:35pm david w: thank you uncle michael, amazing show.
	2:35pm The Oscar: Half hoping for his duet with Elmo on "The Monster Went and Ate my Red Two"
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: David! Thank you!
	2:36pm geezerette: ...and the Lickettes!
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: i agree with Sweet Corn Lizzie @12.58. maybe because Elvis' singing is something i only reluctantly tolerate for his songs.
	2:37pm Lewis: cool - Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks that I haven't heard before!
	2:37pm johnk77: @um thanks i thought maybe that was the case
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: (...or his voice, rather - not his singing. his singing's okay)
	2:39pm johnk77: dan hicks was a regular at the old mill tavern mill valley ca in the seventies
	2:40pm The Oscar: Caught Elvis and Emmylou when they toured maybe a decade ago. Great show (obviously).
	2:42pm geezerette: gorgeous, :)
	2:42pm doctorjazz: Great show UM, thanks, enjoy the time off!
	2:43pm Sem: Elvis held up his end at the Leonard Cohen memorial concert back November of '17, he had a good crack at The Future.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: 1985 gated reverb drums blech
	2:48pm Jeff Golick: Oh, 1984.
	2:48pm Jeff Golick: ^^^

	2:54pm Uncle Michael: South of Wrigleyville...
	2:55pm Jeff Moore: Grovers Mill, NJ?

	🛒 2:57pm Brian in UK: Like Elton John, Elvis is a music fan and it is an incurable malady.

	3:00pm DF: Los Angeles Free Music Society LAFMS
	3:01pm geezerette: DF is correct.

	3:03pm Uncle Michael: woo? bye bye!
	6:14pm chresti: sheet! I missed it!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 1, 2018

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.

	12:04pm rw: Hi!
	12:05pm northguineahills: I've driven through Montgomery exactly twice. Once on the way to Memphis, and once on the way back.
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Dan! James! Brian! Roberto! Dominick! Doug! Sem! Larry! RW! NGH!

	12:09pm Listener Gregory: Wait, Elvis didn't write this??? Ack!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Coel! Doc!
	12:10pm Funky16Corners: I sense a theme!
	12:11pm dan: Are we having an all underrated Motown show today?
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Gregory!
	12:11pm Funky16Corners: EC what you did there...
	12:11pm Dominick: @Funky16Corners - you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
	12:11pm coelacanth∅: songs Elvis covered? ...i'm still trying to figure out S** T* D*** T*** U*

	12:13pm Webhamster Henry: Shut that Dump Truck Up!* * Dump Truck might be a euphemism
	12:13pm Listener Gregory: I said many of the things Big Joe is saying to my ex-wife.
	🛒 12:14pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning! I knew the Fleetwood Mac version was a cover but I'd never heard the original before. Very cool.

	12:22pm Uncle Michael: John!
	12:24pm dan: Whitney sounds just like her mother
	12:24pm Sem: www.wsfa.com...
	12:26pm dan: Looks like it's not an all Motown show.
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: rw unless advised otherwise i accept that as puzzle solved
	12:35pm rw: Patsy taught me this one.
	12:36pm northguineahills: Never been a fan of Elvis Costello... Don't know why... don't even own any vinyl by him. counterpoint: I never got Scott Walker until his last few albums, which clicked w/ me and slowly found myself liking his earlier and earlier stuff on each listen.
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: getting mighty crowded i did not hear by Elvis first (not sure it was Betty though)....most of those songs i never heard at all before today.
	12:37pm northguineahills: So, I was around almost 40 by the time I got Scott Walker, so maybe there's still hope for me w/ Elvis Costello.
	12:39pm coelacanth∅: i lost interest in him after get happy, but did ultimately get a few of his later albums. this year's model is still a perfect album, and my aim is true is also great.
	12:39pm Asheville Jon: Howdy folks!
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	12:41pm rw: Loved hearing Watching the Detectives when it would come on the radio way back then. Also remember liking the Mighty Like a Rose LP but it's been a while.
	12:42pm Doug Schulkind: I'm making a seltzer run. Anyone need anything?
	12:42pm northguineahills: Merle!
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: mushroom matar
	12:42pm Lane Gray: Cool show, and theme
	12:42pm Roberto: A haggard Merle on this one.
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	12:44pm coelacanth∅: and HANK!
	12:45pm Lane Gray: I'd rather hear Elvis's country than the bro-country crap.
	12:45pm johnk77: costello played sweet dreams live with the attractions augmented with john mcphee on pedal steel the very brief almost blue almost 1982 tour i saw it at la sports arena moonlighters and phil alvin in support
	12:47pm doctorjazz: EC has a way with country music, like his take.
	12:50pm northguineahills: Working b/tn a caterer and a bakery is cruel (although two offices down is a crematorium).
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Ugh, didn't mean to play this duet...
	12:50pm dan: @UM Leave it on.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Damn you Alan Jackson.
	🛒 12:51pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I loved Elvis Costello's original stuff but lost interest when he started doing covers. Damn, I had to go to a meeting and missed June Tabor!
	12:52pm Asheville Jon: icky icky alan jackson.
	12:53pm johnk77: jerry chesnut wrote a good year for the roses and several others http://www.jerrychesnut.net/
	12:53pm Funky16Corners: I think EC did a lot to spur interest in classic country with an audience that would have overlooked it completely. Granted he had the Dead and the Byrds/Burritos before him, but it was a new generation
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Agreed.
	12:54pm johnk77: the best radio show i've heard this year on any stream bringing a tear to my wife's eye
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: thank you, John.
	12:55pm Lane Gray: Lizzie in defense of covers, Elvis thought they were worth recording . And ,in the words of deejay and great fiddler Eddie Stubbs, once a great song always a great song. (and I'd rather listen to other people sing Harlan Howard than listen to Harlan sing Harlan Howard.
	12:55pm Funky16Corners: When are we going to the Charlie Rich renaissance the world deserves?
	12:57pm Lane Gray: Oooh ! I love the western swing lyrics to this than the country (the later verses have different lyrics )
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Larry, did you read the Charlie Rich story in the Oxford music annual a few years ago?
	12:57pm johnk77: next time i am driving thru kansas i might to buy @um lunch @funky16 i agree it would great if charlie rich became hip
	12:57pm Funky16Corners: I did not, but he fascinates me, the way he straddles rock/R&B/and country
	🛒 12:58pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I agree, they're covers of great songs, just not what I liked about Elvis - I liked his songwriting wordplay.
	🛒 12:58pm Brian in UK: Uncle. @F16C Roger McGuinn did a wonderful cover of Charlie's 'Peace In The Valley'
	12:59pm johnk77: carol points out this is a waltz
	1:00pm Funky16Corners: @Brian - all the Byrds and folks in the Byrds orbit had a taste for the good stuff, and Hillman went on to a pretty successful mainstream country career
	1:00pm Lane Gray: It was when Webb did it Did Elvis cut it in 2 or 4?
	1:03pm Funky16Corners: I had no idea about 'Il Sogno'. I only knew the Mendelssohn 'Midsummers Night Dream'
	🛒 1:04pm Brian in UK: @F16C if there was a moment that my head was turned (and has stayed turned), it would be hearing Mr Tambourine Man for the first time when it was released.
	1:05pm northguineahills: If i had to wait for a renaissance of all past artists I listened to, my aural palette would be severely limited.
	1:06pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Fingers crossed for some Psycho!
	1:07pm Funky16Corners: Nothing's stopping ME from listening. I just think Charlie deserves a bigger audience, and one that understands him as something more important than just a country hitmaker.
	1:08pm Funky16Corners: Gram's finest moment!
	1:08pm northguineahills: I never knew Elvis Costello did classic country, I've only heard his 70s-early 80s stuff (and I have a ton classic country and old country rock).
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:09pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - I meant Charlie Rich
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Oscar, I'm afraid Dr. Demento introduced me to Psycho, not Elvis.
	1:09pm dan: Speaking of people who deserved bigger American careers, here's a list: The Seekers Gilbert O'Sullivan Gene Pitney PJ Proby Murray Head Al Stewart
	🛒 1:10pm Brian in UK: @F16C hard to disagree. Elvis C would probably say the same.
	1:11pm northguineahills: I know, Larry. My wife never liked country outside of Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton (which I had to work on her when we met) until this last winter when I played her Becky's dj premium.
	1:11pm Dean: @dan: A buddy of mine due to turn 60 in about a week hired Al Stewart to play his 50th.
	1:11pm The Oscar: @UM That's fair. My dad introduced me (to Jack Kittel's version). My mom once said, "It kind of bothers me how much you and your father like this song."
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	🛒 1:13pm Brian in UK: Saw GP once, his last gig with The Byrds.
	1:13pm Funky16Corners: Wow! No kidding?
	1:14pm Lane Gray: And, Funky, Herb went on to overplay the steel (and write one of the classic bluegrass ballads). NGH, I'll call Cash 'country' when I hear fiddle and steel (the closest I have heard was one album with a lap steel). He played his own game.
	1:15pm johnk77: interesting that country rock perhaps ran out of gas, diesel, and maybe drugs in the later seventies
	1:15pm Lane Gray: This thing sounds a LOT like Moonglow
	🛒 1:17pm Brian in UK: My first gig July '68. This was it. www.invaluable.com...
	1:18pm doctorjazz: They don't put shows like that together any more...
	1:19pm The Oscar: I think Link Wray introduced me to "Hidden Charms." It sounds much different with a human-sounding singer.
	1:19pm johnk77: @brianuk who was grapefruit?
	1:19pm rw: One thing for sure. Elvis got good taste.
	1:20pm Funky16Corners: Grapefruit was George Alexander's (brother of Angus Young of AC/DC) band.
	1:20pm dan: @Dean If I was stinkin rich, I'd go through my list of favorites and hire whoever I want for
	1:20pm Sem: Sweet, BiUK. What a line-up!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Grapefruit is GREAT. Isn't Steve Stanley reissuing their stuff on Now Sounds?
	1:20pm northguineahills: @Lane: I have plenty of Cash w/ steel, only a handful tunes w/ a fiddle, though....
	1:21pm Dominick: Yes, Grapefruit !!
	1:21pm Sem: What are those ticket prices in decimal money?
	🛒 1:21pm Brian in UK: @john77. not sure if they played that gig, cannot remember them. Funny that The Easybeats were playing, keep it in the family.
	1:22pm Funky16Corners: I love Percy's version of this.
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: Sem most expensive 25/- = £1.25.
	1:22pm doctorjazz: Love this version of "... Pouring Water..." .
	1:23pm Dean: My friend isn't stinking rich, but he is well off. Was for a time eBay's number one retailer, for instance. The Stewart show was fortuitous. My buddy had been a fan from the early LPs, and Stewart resided nearby in Southern California.
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Joe Cocker previewed 'With a Little Help'. His current single was 'Margerine'. He was interesting to see for the first time.
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Elvis covered Yoko?!?!?!
	1:25pm dan: @Dean If I had connections and/or a lot of money, I'd look into inviting a big name musician to perform for me. My personal pick would be Roger Daltrey.
	1:25pm northguineahills: Ono!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Al Stewart is touring "The Year of the Cat." he's playing not far from me but not when I'm able to go.
	🛒 1:25pm Brian in UK: There was a girl behind who was a fan of The Move. All night she shouted 'Trevor' (Burton)
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Elvis did this for the Yoko tribute album.
	1:26pm northguineahills: Oh, wow UM!
	1:26pm doctorjazz: Does he do the scream?
	1:27pm Dean: Thanks, Declan, for breaking up the Beatles.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: I'll play it in two weeks.
	1:27pm northguineahills: Finally got my appetite after being sick most of the week. Off for a taco as I'm too lazy to go home and cook. haha, Dean!
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Have one for me, NGH!
	1:31pm Lane Gray: Every Man Has a Woman ?
	1:31pm dan: Yoko hasn't done much good music, so anything she does, someone else would do better.
	1:31pm Funky16Corners: Ooooooooh tacos...
	1:35pm Lane Gray: Have you gone out east to California for Tacos El Mexicano?
	1:37pm Doug Schulkind: My Funny Valentine. My father's favorite song.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: That's great to know, Doug. It's retroactively for him.
	1:39pm Dean: There's a persistent taco thread on this show's comment board, it seems. Hinky Dinky Taco Time?
	1:39pm johnk77: a 2017 analog remastering that includes hot burrito #1 https://www.interventionrecords.com/records/the-gilded-palace-of-sin/
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: Tacos are life.
	1:40pm Jeff Moore: "In two weeks..."? Holy f***, I'm in the hotseat just one week from now. Jeez. I need to try to learn what music is about and how to play it.
	1:42pm Mike Sin: This Roger McGuinn track always reminded of McGuinn doing an impression of Tom Petty doing an impression of Roger McGuinn. ;)
	🛒 1:42pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Roger McGuinn's voice always gets me.
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Good luck with that, janitor-boy.
	1:42pm doctorjazz: Gilded Palace is tempting, but it doesn't take much.
	1:43pm Jeff Moore: @UM: I'm hearing that spoken like "monkey-boy" in Buckaroo Banzai.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: That's exactly right.
	1:45pm Jeff Moore: I was hoping so.
	1:47pm Ann Nonemus: Jeff Moore, I've heard that Schulkind tends to run late. You probably only need, like, 20 minutes' worth of music.
	1:47pm Jeff Moore: In one week, everybody enjoy the show by Kurt Gottschalk, an excellent DJ. Uncle Michael will be back after that.
	1:47pm rw: You Bowed Down may be the one that sounds the most like EC to me so far. I'd kind of like to hear the Ono cover.
	1:47pm Dean: "Neat Neat Neat" on Damned Damned Damned might be my favorite song song song.
	1:48pm Jeff Moore: @Ann... I feel like we've met before.
	1:49pm Dean: ...if only because it is the prelude to one of my favorite albums albums albums.
	1:49pm rw: It's a Damned Damned Damned good song song song. That's for sure sure sure.
	🛒 1:50pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dave Edmunds reminds me the 70s weren't all bad.
	1:50pm Dean: You can say that again!
	1:51pm Funky16Corners: Gotta head out UM. Will catch the rest in the archive!
	1:51pm Rich in Washington: I finally got around to watching that Stiff tour doc. Works as advertised. Highly recommended.
	🛒 1:51pm Brian in UK: john77, always thought that the production on Gilded Palace could have been so much better.

	1:52pm dan: Elvis actually wrote Girls Talk.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: yes, dan
	1:54pm dan: I saw Nick Lowe for free at Lincoln Center. It was just him and his guitar. He ended with What's So Funny.
	1:54pm doctorjazz: Nuttun' but the hits!
	1:54pm Dean: This is the song Elvis taught me, even though I was a Brinsley Schwarz fan well before the smuggled b-side. Hadn't heard this BS track.
	1:55pm geezerette: What's so funny?
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: Geeze!
	1:56pm dan: Two other people who should have had bigger careers in the US were Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe.
	1:58pm geezerette: Howdy,UM! Cricket donuts? Anybody?
	1:58pm johnk77: @brianuk i agree old burrito vinyl did not have best sound the remaster claims to be better i think i will get it for an xmas gift
	1:58pm Lane Gray: Sem, in current US money , those ticket prices ranged from a high of $6.25 down to 82 cents (a shilling was basically worth a quarter ) (sorry about the lateness, I just noticed it)
	1:58pm Sem: Extra legs in mine, please.
	1:59pm Dean: So, no "Stranger in the House"? Rachel Sweet?
	1:59pm geezerette: Sem, coming right up!
	1:59pm Sem: Thanks, Lane! Appreciated.
	2:00pm Sem: Jiminey, that was fast.
	2:00pm geezerette: They'll walk themselves over.
	2:01pm johnk77: rockpile did a great live radio show maybe king biscuit? i taped it off the air
	2:01pm Lane Gray: Dan, Dave had some notable success on the other side of the glass in the US (Janie Fricke's "Playing With the Queen of Hearts was his production and arrangement). Maybe not the same fame, but better bucks.
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: i got a bonus 45 with armed forces but i don't remember what it is. (even though i still have it)
	2:02pm Asheville Jon: mmmmmm pimento cheese. YES need the recipe! pimento cheese on club crackers, oh yeah
	🛒 2:03pm Brian in UK: @john77 I even got a Canadian pressing in the naive hope that it would sound better. @Uncle totally agree on McGuinn he had a good ear, shame his voice was not stronger. Nitpicking.
	2:03pm Rich in Washington: what are pimentos, exactly? Also, I remember those (then) ubiquitous cheese-based sandwich spreads made by Kraft, in those little glass jars with metal lids. Are they still a thing?
	2:03pm Sem: mmmmm Charles Aznavour cheese. It is so French!
	🛒 2:03pm Brian in UK: Char;es Hasnovoice.
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: 3 live recordings...i think that's where i got that from. watching the detectives, alison and something else. (7", maybe not 45)
	2:04pm geezerette: Hilarious lyrics!
	2:04pm dan: Charles Aznavour is 94 years old and still performing today. Amazing.
	2:04pm Spaniel: oh geeze, I want the recipe but have to leave in two minutes. will scour the archives
	2:04pm Rich in Washington: I've got this thing for a Eastern European spread called Ajjvar. It's like eggplant, peppers and I think pimentos.
	2:04pm geezerette: Some girl, or whatever it is he's singing about.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: i know the name aznavour from a reference in a psychedelic furs song.
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Spaniel!
	2:07pm Asheville Jon: Yes Rich, Ajjvar (or however you spell it) is suuuuuper good
	2:07pm geezerette: hahaha
	2:07pm Jeff Golick: Yello.
	2:08pm Rich in Washington: I love it! There's a Bosnian cafe/pub in my town that serves cevapi and ajjvar and sour cream and onions on the side. It's super messy to eat but so good.
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:09pm geezerette: Oh god, hide the razor blades.
	2:09pm The Oscar: When I was a kid, I had a book of the unexplained which included a section on the "Gloomy Sunday" legend. It was YEARS before I worked up the nerve to listen to the song.
	2:11pm geezerette: Imagine people trying to dance to this.
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: i first heard this by Billie Holiday when i was around 18. when the mood changed and she sang it was just a dream i was terribly disappointed. what a copout!
	2:12pm Sem: Gloomy? A Hungarian joke: a pessimist says: "Things can't get worse!" Hungarian optimist: "Yes they CAN!"
	2:12pm The Oscar: @coelacanth I was just about to say, so refreshing to hear an English version without the tacked-on ending!
	2:14pm geezerette: Heh, Sem
	2:16pm geezerette: !!! :D
	2:16pm johnk77: Rockpile LIVE at The Palladium 8/20/1979 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOpZ2DL4FnM this is a longer version from the late lamented WLIR Rockpile that night was supporting Blondie

	🛒 2:20pm Brian in UK: Uncle, Padron peppers stuffed with Philly cheese do the job.
	2:21pm geezerette: Wait,this is a woman?!
	2:22pm Sem: Alto x WOW!
	2:23pm Lane Gray: June was short for 'Junior' en.m.wikipedia.org...
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: June was a fella.
	2:24pm Dean: There's a reason Johnny Cash couldn't call it "A Boy Named June."
	2:25pm coelacanth∅: oh - i forgot these songs are all somehow Elvis Costello related
	2:26pm doctorjazz: Another one from the EC make up album, but he did it at 78 RPM. Actually never heard this version nice.
	2:26pm dan: Where did Elvis find the time in a pre-iTunes era to find these obscure songs.
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: Dean -2 reasons.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: He released versions of all of these songs, Coel.
	2:27pm Jeff Golick: I missed the spelling.
	2:27pm Dean: To answer @dan's query: It was a pre-iTunes era. That's where he found the time.

	2:35pm Uncle Michael: David! Thank you!
	2:36pm geezerette: ...and the Lickettes!
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: i agree with Sweet Corn Lizzie @12.58. maybe because Elvis' singing is something i only reluctantly tolerate for his songs.
	2:37pm Lewis: cool - Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks that I haven't heard before!
	2:37pm johnk77: @um thanks i thought maybe that was the case
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: (...or his voice, rather - not his singing. his singing's okay)
	2:39pm johnk77: dan hicks was a regular at the old mill tavern mill valley ca in the seventies
