Listener comments!
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM and all!!
	12:02pm dan: Hi everyone.
	12:02pm ndbob: afternoon UM, James, everyone!
	12:02pm Roberto: Honky Donkey time!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: In my old Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, they called spaghetti sauce "gravy." Hello Uncle Michael and all!
	12:04pm Goyim in the AM: Hey hey UM!
	12:05pm Uncle Michael: Can you her me?!
	12:06pm Dean: Wow, the OED entry for "gravy" is remarkable. One possible cognate of the root word is grenade! And the term describing an inferior dressing is "gravy bastard." Dibs on that for my next band.
	🛒 12:06pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning everyone! This Philly song is really something...
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: Nothing about cream cheese in that ditty? Cheesestake?
	12:06pm Roberto: We've been spending a lot of time in Philly lately since my daughter started attending college in the area. The vegan food is surprisingly great.
	12:06pm dan: Unfortunately, parts of Philly are like being in a COPS episode.
	12:08pm Marie: Howdy UM and all, neato gif--one can surmise many things...
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: James! dan! Bob! Roberto! Doug! Goyim! Dean! Lizzie! Marie!

	12:11pm Tater: Glad to be able to tune in this hot and steamy Friday
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	12:13pm Rich in Washington: Hello UM! Hello fellow Dinkyites!
	12:13pm listener Rey: Woolworth's aftershave?? I don't know how I feel about that...
	12:13pm Goyim in the AM: Do you think the dude in the Liverpool Scene ever got confused between Batman and Baby mid-song?
	12:13pm Roberto: Oh, he said kniCK-ers.
	12:14pm dan: I wonder what happened to Mr. Liverpool Scene?
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Rey!
	🛒 12:15pm dutchtheo: Hi Uncle. Doug i was in the shangri-la of gravy last weeks; Bologna, Italy...
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Theo! yum
	12:16pm Doug Schulkind: OK, now I'm really hungry. Thanks, dutchtheo.
	12:17pm Goyim in the AM: @dan: he died in 2000. Had a long respectable career as a poet.
	🛒 12:18pm dutchtheo: gained a few pounds
	12:19pm dan: @Goyim What was the guy's real name?
	12:20pm ndbob: He's good-bad but he's not evil - what a line
	🛒 12:21pm dutchtheo: thats another shangri-la; Mary Weiss!
	12:22pm Sem: Hey, UM, Um-ers, both of the hink AND dink persuasion. Harry draws me close like a moth to a , ah, that flickering, hot thing...
	12:23pm Goyim in the AM: @dan Adrian Henri.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Sem!
	12:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Uncle Michael! I'm listening while I write not the news of the world, but the news of southeastern Vermont. Glad to have some music to work by today.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Wendella!
	12:29pm βrian: Boo from the isthmus.
	12:30pm Dean: How did I miss that yesterday was POTUS's birthday. Anybody have a chance to spank him?
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Brian! I prefer accolades.
	🛒 12:31pm dutchtheo: Elvis Costello, The Jam, The Shangri-Las were on 80% of my mixtapes in the early 80ties. dinner break, laters
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: No PJ Proby?
	12:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Dean, yes. The honors went to NY Atty General Barbara Underwood. She spanked him with a lawsuit. nyti.ms...
	12:34pm Dean: ...and one to grow on, let's hope.
	12:34pm βrian: Manafort goes to jail. Tee hee.
	🛒 12:35pm dutchtheo: PJ was an acquired taste, and i didn't have Biky's Goud Van Oud,
	12:36pm Goyim in the AM: Ah, Dance with Me, one of the few songs in the world that mentions my first name ("Night is fallin' / and I am Colin")
	🛒 12:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: "Proby's UK career lost momentum after controversial live concert appearances including two trouser-splitting incidents at shows in Croydon and Luton in January 1965 that scandalized the British press and public and led to bans on Proby appearances by the ABC theatre chain, its TV namesake and BBC TV."
	12:37pm Roberto: Eric Schneiderman's office was in my company's building. I used to be proud of that fact. Now, not so much.
	12:37pm Doug Schulkind: From 2007 to 2011, Orleans' John Hall was a member of the US House of Representatives representing New York's 19th District.
	12:41pm Goyim in the AM: Benny's German, so you'd pronounce his name Grabe and the song as Grabefruit -- and in a lot of German dialects, differences between p and b are sloppy anyway. Germans sure do love their puns.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: I love the comments. It's like a Chautauqua!
	12:48pm dan: @Goyim. In more linguistic terms, the bilabial voiceless "p" is pronounced like its equivalent bilabial voiced "b".
	12:49pm Goyim in the AM: @dan -- I'm a polyglot, not a linguist. It's like the Sharks and the Jets!
	12:50pm dan: @Goyim That would make an interesting concept. Polyglots vs. Linguists.
	12:50pm ndbob: scrolling back here - I forgot that John Hall was in Congress
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Dammit, Dan. I'm a polyglot...not a linguist. - Bones McCoy
	12:52pm Goyim in the AM: But yeah, when it's just folks talkin', B tends to stay voiceless, and the voiced bilabial is not nearly as strong in Hochdeutsch as it is in standard American academic English.
	12:53pm Dean: My favorite letter is F, for various reasons.
	12:57pm northguineahills: Been here, but have an afternoon deadline....
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	12:59pm ndbob: Hi NGH!
	1:02pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Don't think I've ever heard lyrics to Telstar outside of Mr. Mike's Mondo Video.
	1:02pm Webhamster Henry: I like lyrics on usually un-lyticed instrumentals!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:02pm Rich in Washington: wow! Here's a Telstar I've never heard!
	🛒 1:03pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Another song that I never knew had words! Except of course for Mr. Mike.
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: "Nations despise us. Wouldn't surprise us..."
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: I love the Joe Meek demo with his atonal singing on it.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Henry!
	1:04pm ndbob: I've heard other versions of Magic Star and @Rich - tht is really wild
	1:05pm Rich in Washington: I wish that a BluRay reissue of MMMV had all those music cues, the theme song, etc., as a bonus feature.
	1:06pm Rich in Washington: I really love the Tornados version. I cannot resist buying it whenever I come across it on 45. It's the first song I remember hearing as a small lad and thinking 'this music's from another planet!'.
	1:07pm The Oscar: @Rich Shout Factory put out a decent DVD a few years back, with commentary my Mitch Glazer and some Mr. Mike SNL clips. Sadly, Sid Vicious' performance is still silenced.
	1:07pm ndbob: I remember watching the first Telstar broadcast with my parents
	1:08pm Webhamster Henry: Seek out Gaylord's At A Loss For Words WFMU Premium for many , many lyrics for otherwise instrumental hits!
	1:08pm Rich in Washington: I have that DVD. It's quite good. It's a miracle it came out.
	1:10pm Rich in Washington: The funny thing about MMMV is that they just stole Telstar as its leitmotif throughout the show, sort of like Ortolani and the More/Mondo Cane theme.
	1:11pm Webhamster Henry: My ex-wife's old boyfriend Dennis Perrin did an obsessive book on Mr. Mike.
	1:11pm Webhamster Henry: So I guess that makes me about 3 degrees of separation.
	1:12pm The Oscar: @Rich Yeah, when I finally saw Mondo Cane years later I was struck by how close a parody it was (O'Donoghue's spin on "Many of these men have tasted human flesh" is particularly brillant).
	1:15pm βrian: I see y'all have been giving voice to bilabial fricatives.
	1:15pm Goyim in the AM: silence = death, ßrian.
	1:15pm ndbob: I need to go - excellent show UM - good to be back
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Bob! Thanks for being back.
	1:17pm listener james from westwood: HERON OBLIVION
	1:17pm Jeff Moore: Welcome back from your travels!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: We're calling this "Postcards from Mordor," Jeff.
	1:19pm Jeff Moore: :-)
	1:19pm βrian: No relation to Crane Oblivion, but the two are commonly confused.
	1:24pm dan: I swear these two songs sound almost the same, yet they are 44 years apart.
	1:31pm βrian: Chirrup with birdies!
	🛒 1:33pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I really like Bobbie Gentry's voice and this is a great song.
	1:33pm dan: Country Rap.
	1:35pm βrian: This could seque to ham-boning.
	1:40pm βrian: And remember, real cheddar ain't orange!
	1:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Brian: Be careful with that cheddar statement.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Use supermarket orange extra sharp cheddar for this recipe.
	🛒 1:44pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Boy does this sound like Quicksilver.
	🛒 1:44pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Wendy had some Gjetost last week. Lovely. Made from the whey.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Brian!
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I hear it, Lizzie.
	1:47pm βrian: I expect natural variations in color, but added coloring is uncalled for.
	🛒 1:47pm Brian in UK: @Sweet Corn Lizzie it certainly has a San Francisco vibe.
	🛒 1:48pm Brian in UK: The worst word used to sell cheese. 'MILD'
	1:49pm βrian: "Norway goat cheese fire closes tunnel": www.bbc.com...
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: www.npr.org...
	1:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Brian, there are cultural/regional reasons for adding annatto to cheddar in the US. It adds no flavor or texture to the cheese, thus it doesn't change it. Therefore, looking down on orange cheese is simple snobbery.
	1:54pm βrian: Shelburne Farms makes good cheese. Used to live nearby.
	1:55pm βrian: Nope. It's an industrial affectation. About as cultural as scale-tipping.
	1:57pm βrian: Is this from the movie, UM?
	1:59pm Dean: I dunno. I read recipes that call for turmeric or, remarkably, paprika, noting that the ingredients add nothing flavor-wise, but give color. To my untrained palette, both have flavors, but I could be making it up. Still, adding solely for color seems...fair.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: Movie?
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Turmeric and paprika both have flavor.
	2:00pm βrian: That Swedish vampire flick, Let The Right One In .
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I feel like I might be the target of a put-on.
	2:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Brian. I disagree. "An industrial affectation" that's been around for, I dunno, almost a century is indeed a cultural and regional difference. It was people who were running these industries, not robots.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Every recipe I've ever seen for cochinita pibil calls for annato. Industrial affectation? Perhaps.
	2:04pm βrian: Wha? In any case, if you haven't seen that movie, it's worth watching. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: my npr.org link above is about the history of orange cheddar...17th century.
	2:07pm βrian: Yes, duplicity goes back centuries. Heh! But I understand it's no longer perceived as cheating; just making it look a certain way. I would just say, hearken back a bit further and let the cheese show it's natural colors.
	2:09pm The Oscar: I'll vouch for LTROI. It's a surprisingly sweet and heartfelt Swedish vampire film.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: I'll seek it out.
	🛒 2:15pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: "Bang Bang" has always mystified me. WTH is going on in this song?
	2:17pm dan: Gotta finger bang bang ya into my life.
	2:18pm Goyim in the AM: Lee Hazelwood was going on.
	🛒 2:19pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HDinkyland. BangBang definitely woke me up from my dreams of green cheese!
	2:21pm Sem: Mississippi Fred woke me w/ a question I hear alot in these parts.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:23pm rw: Howdy! I didn't write down the pimento cheese spread recipe but we did get some work done on a skate ramp. It's softened cream cheese, sharp cheddar, salsa and pimentos, right? Do you grate the cheddar?
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: I'll type and post it next week. This is a now a saga.
	2:25pm Sem: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: Maybe this critic has an answer: " Critic Tim Sendra, in his album review of The Sonny Side of Cher, gave the song a mixed review: "The only track that has any real zest is the Bono-written novelty 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down),' the kind of dramatic song Cher could knock out in her sleep but also a song with no real heart." So, WTH: Sonny going for surface, not substance.
	2:26pm rw: Haha! Also, I got that Temporary Setback CD. Are you and Todd brothers?
	2:26pm rw: The other guy I remember from Topeka is Steve Fleeker.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Todd and I are not related. I don't know Steve.
	2:33pm rw: Tell TN I'm liking the CD! Going back to work now. Thanks for the music and for skippering the stream UM!! Have a good weekend everyone!
	🛒 2:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: @Sem Yeah that makes sense!
	🛒 2:40pm Brian in UK: Uncle, keeping it Freeform as ever. Time for scran.
	2:45pm barrett785: PRINCE!!!!!
	2:47pm doctorjazz: Couldn't post,, but dug the show ,thanks ,UM!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Barrett! Doc! Thanks.
	2:50pm jmd: Hi, UM. Great show as always. Bye, UM!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: JMD! Thank you.
	2:50pm Sem: Nancy opening the door for Tom, a little bit o'magic right there. Thanks, UM. See you and the assembled, and those for whom some assembly is required, next time round the block.
	2:53pm dan: Colin Blunstone of The Zombies is one of those vocalists who got better with age. Gary Brooker is another.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Bowie had advance word and beamed the fuck up while the beaming was good! Loved the program; thanks, UM!
	🛒 3:02pm KevinfromBayRidge: One for Danny!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Bye!
	6:00am pacific standard simon: Thanks for that pimento cheese recipe! In return, here is my macaroni salad recipe: Serves: serves 8-10 Ingredients: 1 pound ditalini pasta (sometimes called "salad pasta"), or other short pasta or shell 3 hard boiled eggs, diced 1 cup frozen peas, cooked according to package directiond 2 celery ribs, minced 1 red bell pepper, peeled, seeded and minced ¼ sweet onion, minced ¼ cup cornichons (baby gherkins), chopped 1 cup mayonnaise (make your own, or use Kewpie Brand Japanese, or whatever) ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Chopped parsley if desired. Instructions: Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions, Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cooled. Shake the colander to toss the pasta, and drain for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Transfer the drained pasta to a large bowl and add the eggs, peas, celery, red bell pepper, onion and cornichons. Mix the mayonnaise, pickle juice, sugar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add to the macaroni mix and toss until evenly coated. Season with more salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to add a little color if desired. This is a party recipe -- it makes a lot. You might want to cut it in half. If you don't like macaroni salad, you might want to divide by zero, heh.

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.

	12:09pm annie: i was lagging in the hallway..
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: annie!
	12:11pm Tater: Glad to be able to tune in this hot and steamy Friday
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	12:13pm Rich in Washington: Hello UM! Hello fellow Dinkyites!
	12:13pm listener Rey: Woolworth's aftershave?? I don't know how I feel about that...
	12:13pm Goyim in the AM: Do you think the dude in the Liverpool Scene ever got confused between Batman and Baby mid-song?
	12:13pm Roberto: Oh, he said kniCK-ers.
	12:14pm dan: I wonder what happened to Mr. Liverpool Scene?
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Rich! Rey!
	🛒 12:15pm dutchtheo: Hi Uncle. Doug i was in the shangri-la of gravy last weeks; Bologna, Italy...
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Theo! yum
	12:16pm Doug Schulkind: OK, now I'm really hungry. Thanks, dutchtheo.
	12:17pm Goyim in the AM: @dan: he died in 2000. Had a long respectable career as a poet.
	🛒 12:18pm dutchtheo: gained a few pounds
	12:19pm dan: @Goyim What was the guy's real name?
	12:20pm ndbob: He's good-bad but he's not evil - what a line
	🛒 12:21pm dutchtheo: thats another shangri-la; Mary Weiss!
	12:22pm Sem: Hey, UM, Um-ers, both of the hink AND dink persuasion. Harry draws me close like a moth to a , ah, that flickering, hot thing...
	12:23pm Goyim in the AM: @dan Adrian Henri.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Sem!
	12:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Uncle Michael! I'm listening while I write not the news of the world, but the news of southeastern Vermont. Glad to have some music to work by today.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: Wendella!
	12:29pm βrian: Boo from the isthmus.
	12:30pm Dean: How did I miss that yesterday was POTUS's birthday. Anybody have a chance to spank him?
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Brian! I prefer accolades.
	🛒 12:31pm dutchtheo: Elvis Costello, The Jam, The Shangri-Las were on 80% of my mixtapes in the early 80ties. dinner break, laters
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: No PJ Proby?
	12:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Dean, yes. The honors went to NY Atty General Barbara Underwood. She spanked him with a lawsuit. nyti.ms...
	12:34pm Dean: ...and one to grow on, let's hope.
	12:34pm βrian: Manafort goes to jail. Tee hee.
	🛒 12:35pm dutchtheo: PJ was an acquired taste, and i didn't have Biky's Goud Van Oud,
	12:36pm Goyim in the AM: Ah, Dance with Me, one of the few songs in the world that mentions my first name ("Night is fallin' / and I am Colin")
	🛒 12:36pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: "Proby's UK career lost momentum after controversial live concert appearances including two trouser-splitting incidents at shows in Croydon and Luton in January 1965 that scandalized the British press and public and led to bans on Proby appearances by the ABC theatre chain, its TV namesake and BBC TV."
	12:37pm Roberto: Eric Schneiderman's office was in my company's building. I used to be proud of that fact. Now, not so much.
	12:37pm Doug Schulkind: From 2007 to 2011, Orleans' John Hall was a member of the US House of Representatives representing New York's 19th District.
	12:41pm Goyim in the AM: Benny's German, so you'd pronounce his name Grabe and the song as Grabefruit -- and in a lot of German dialects, differences between p and b are sloppy anyway. Germans sure do love their puns.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: I love the comments. It's like a Chautauqua!
	12:48pm dan: @Goyim. In more linguistic terms, the bilabial voiceless "p" is pronounced like its equivalent bilabial voiced "b".
	12:49pm Goyim in the AM: @dan -- I'm a polyglot, not a linguist. It's like the Sharks and the Jets!
	12:50pm dan: @Goyim That would make an interesting concept. Polyglots vs. Linguists.
	12:50pm ndbob: scrolling back here - I forgot that John Hall was in Congress
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: Dammit, Dan. I'm a polyglot...not a linguist. - Bones McCoy
	12:52pm Goyim in the AM: But yeah, when it's just folks talkin', B tends to stay voiceless, and the voiced bilabial is not nearly as strong in Hochdeutsch as it is in standard American academic English.
	12:53pm Dean: My favorite letter is F, for various reasons.
	12:57pm northguineahills: Been here, but have an afternoon deadline....
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	12:59pm ndbob: Hi NGH!
	1:02pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Don't think I've ever heard lyrics to Telstar outside of Mr. Mike's Mondo Video.
	1:02pm Webhamster Henry: I like lyrics on usually un-lyticed instrumentals!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:02pm Rich in Washington: wow! Here's a Telstar I've never heard!
	🛒 1:03pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Another song that I never knew had words! Except of course for Mr. Mike.
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: "Nations despise us. Wouldn't surprise us..."
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: I love the Joe Meek demo with his atonal singing on it.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Henry!
	1:04pm ndbob: I've heard other versions of Magic Star and @Rich - tht is really wild
	1:05pm Rich in Washington: I wish that a BluRay reissue of MMMV had all those music cues, the theme song, etc., as a bonus feature.
	1:06pm Rich in Washington: I really love the Tornados version. I cannot resist buying it whenever I come across it on 45. It's the first song I remember hearing as a small lad and thinking 'this music's from another planet!'.
	1:07pm The Oscar: @Rich Shout Factory put out a decent DVD a few years back, with commentary my Mitch Glazer and some Mr. Mike SNL clips. Sadly, Sid Vicious' performance is still silenced.
	1:07pm ndbob: I remember watching the first Telstar broadcast with my parents
	1:08pm Webhamster Henry: Seek out Gaylord's At A Loss For Words WFMU Premium for many , many lyrics for otherwise instrumental hits!
	1:08pm Rich in Washington: I have that DVD. It's quite good. It's a miracle it came out.
	1:10pm Rich in Washington: The funny thing about MMMV is that they just stole Telstar as its leitmotif throughout the show, sort of like Ortolani and the More/Mondo Cane theme.
	1:11pm Webhamster Henry: My ex-wife's old boyfriend Dennis Perrin did an obsessive book on Mr. Mike.
	1:11pm Webhamster Henry: So I guess that makes me about 3 degrees of separation.
	1:12pm The Oscar: @Rich Yeah, when I finally saw Mondo Cane years later I was struck by how close a parody it was (O'Donoghue's spin on "Many of these men have tasted human flesh" is particularly brillant).
	1:15pm βrian: I see y'all have been giving voice to bilabial fricatives.
	1:15pm Goyim in the AM: silence = death, ßrian.
	1:15pm ndbob: I need to go - excellent show UM - good to be back
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Bob! Thanks for being back.
	1:17pm listener james from westwood: HERON OBLIVION
	1:17pm Jeff Moore: Welcome back from your travels!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: We're calling this "Postcards from Mordor," Jeff.
	1:19pm Jeff Moore: :-)
	1:19pm βrian: No relation to Crane Oblivion, but the two are commonly confused.
	1:24pm dan: I swear these two songs sound almost the same, yet they are 44 years apart.
	1:31pm βrian: Chirrup with birdies!
	🛒 1:33pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I really like Bobbie Gentry's voice and this is a great song.
	1:33pm dan: Country Rap.
	1:35pm βrian: This could seque to ham-boning.
	1:40pm βrian: And remember, real cheddar ain't orange!
	1:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Brian: Be careful with that cheddar statement.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Use supermarket orange extra sharp cheddar for this recipe.
	🛒 1:44pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Boy does this sound like Quicksilver.
	🛒 1:44pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Wendy had some Gjetost last week. Lovely. Made from the whey.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Brian!
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I hear it, Lizzie.
	1:47pm βrian: I expect natural variations in color, but added coloring is uncalled for.
	🛒 1:47pm Brian in UK: @Sweet Corn Lizzie it certainly has a San Francisco vibe.
	🛒 1:48pm Brian in UK: The worst word used to sell cheese. 'MILD'
	1:49pm βrian: "Norway goat cheese fire closes tunnel": www.bbc.com...
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: www.npr.org...
	1:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Brian, there are cultural/regional reasons for adding annatto to cheddar in the US. It adds no flavor or texture to the cheese, thus it doesn't change it. Therefore, looking down on orange cheese is simple snobbery.
	1:54pm βrian: Shelburne Farms makes good cheese. Used to live nearby.
	1:55pm βrian: Nope. It's an industrial affectation. About as cultural as scale-tipping.
	1:57pm βrian: Is this from the movie, UM?
	1:59pm Dean: I dunno. I read recipes that call for turmeric or, remarkably, paprika, noting that the ingredients add nothing flavor-wise, but give color. To my untrained palette, both have flavors, but I could be making it up. Still, adding solely for color seems...fair.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: Movie?
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Turmeric and paprika both have flavor.
	2:00pm βrian: That Swedish vampire flick, Let The Right One In .
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: I feel like I might be the target of a put-on.
	2:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Brian. I disagree. "An industrial affectation" that's been around for, I dunno, almost a century is indeed a cultural and regional difference. It was people who were running these industries, not robots.
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Every recipe I've ever seen for cochinita pibil calls for annato. Industrial affectation? Perhaps.
	2:04pm βrian: Wha? In any case, if you haven't seen that movie, it's worth watching. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: my npr.org link above is about the history of orange cheddar...17th century.
	2:07pm βrian: Yes, duplicity goes back centuries. Heh! But I understand it's no longer perceived as cheating; just making it look a certain way. I would just say, hearken back a bit further and let the cheese show it's natural colors.
	2:09pm The Oscar: I'll vouch for LTROI. It's a surprisingly sweet and heartfelt Swedish vampire film.
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: I'll seek it out.
	🛒 2:15pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: "Bang Bang" has always mystified me. WTH is going on in this song?
	2:17pm dan: Gotta finger bang bang ya into my life.
	2:18pm Goyim in the AM: Lee Hazelwood was going on.
	🛒 2:19pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HDinkyland. BangBang definitely woke me up from my dreams of green cheese!
	2:21pm Sem: Mississippi Fred woke me w/ a question I hear alot in these parts.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:23pm rw: Howdy! I didn't write down the pimento cheese spread recipe but we did get some work done on a skate ramp. It's softened cream cheese, sharp cheddar, salsa and pimentos, right? Do you grate the cheddar?
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: I'll type and post it next week. This is a now a saga.
	2:25pm Sem: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: Maybe this critic has an answer: " Critic Tim Sendra, in his album review of The Sonny Side of Cher, gave the song a mixed review: "The only track that has any real zest is the Bono-written novelty 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down),' the kind of dramatic song Cher could knock out in her sleep but also a song with no real heart." So, WTH: Sonny going for surface, not substance.
	2:26pm rw: Haha! Also, I got that Temporary Setback CD. Are you and Todd brothers?
	2:26pm rw: The other guy I remember from Topeka is Steve Fleeker.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: Todd and I are not related. I don't know Steve.
	2:33pm rw: Tell TN I'm liking the CD! Going back to work now. Thanks for the music and for skippering the stream UM!! Have a good weekend everyone!
	🛒 2:35pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: @Sem Yeah that makes sense!
	🛒 2:40pm Brian in UK: Uncle, keeping it Freeform as ever. Time for scran.
	2:45pm barrett785: PRINCE!!!!!
	2:47pm doctorjazz: Couldn't post,, but dug the show ,thanks ,UM!
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: Barrett! Doc! Thanks.
	2:50pm jmd: Hi, UM. Great show as always. Bye, UM!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: JMD! Thank you.
	2:50pm Sem: Nancy opening the door for Tom, a little bit o'magic right there. Thanks, UM. See you and the assembled, and those for whom some assembly is required, next time round the block.
	2:53pm dan: Colin Blunstone of The Zombies is one of those vocalists who got better with age. Gary Brooker is another.
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Bowie had advance word and beamed the fuck up while the beaming was good! Loved the program; thanks, UM!
	🛒 3:02pm KevinfromBayRidge: One for Danny!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Bye!
	6:00am pacific standard simon: Thanks for that pimento cheese recipe! In return, here is my macaroni salad recipe: Serves: serves 8-10 Ingredients: 1 pound ditalini pasta (sometimes called "salad pasta"), or other short pasta or shell 3 hard boiled eggs, diced 1 cup frozen peas, cooked according to package directiond 2 celery ribs, minced 1 red bell pepper, peeled, seeded and minced ¼ sweet onion, minced ¼ cup cornichons (baby gherkins), chopped 1 cup mayonnaise (make your own, or use Kewpie Brand Japanese, or whatever) ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice 2 teaspoons granulated sugar 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Chopped parsley if desired. Instructions: Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions, Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cooled. Shake the colander to toss the pasta, and drain for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally. Transfer the drained pasta to a large bowl and add the eggs, peas, celery, red bell pepper, onion and cornichons. Mix the mayonnaise, pickle juice, sugar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add to the macaroni mix and toss until evenly coated. Season with more salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to add a little color if desired. This is a party recipe -- it makes a lot. You might want to cut it in half. If you don't like macaroni salad, you might want to divide by zero, heh.
