Listener comments!
	11:42am Parq: "Speaking of bears who can read"?
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM, Parq, and all! So does a record from Parrot keep asking for a cracker if it skips?
	12:02pm Roberto: 'sup my hinks and dinks!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Oops, sorry. Already classified you. My bad.
	12:05pm Roberto: Dennsionshermanshermandennison, TX?
	12:05pm Listening Out There: Waiting for the city song for Hell, Michigan...
	12:06pm rw: Woo! Bring on the scratchiness!
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: This is a very odd version of In the Pines.
	12:06pm dan: I don't see the song and yet I know it's Neil Diamond
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Oarq! James! Roberto! Doug! LOT! RW! Dan!
	12:07pm chresti: Hello! Do it!
	12:08pm Parq: The Sherman–Denison Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of one county – Grayson – in North Texas, anchored by the cities of Sherman and Denison. As of the 2010 census, the MSA had a population of 120,877.

It is also a major part of the Texoma region with proximity to both Lake Texoma and the Red River. Now you know.
	12:09pm dan: Rock Me Amadeus, 'eh?
	12:09pm Scraps: h'lo h'lo getting ready, sixty yellow spiders!
	12:09pm listener james from westwood: I took a whole college elective on Mozart, using the Shaffer play and the Zeffirelli movie as its base for supporting and debunking myths while teaching about his music, and not ONCE did the professor play ANY version of this. #robbed
	12:09pm Webhamster Henry: That's kind a mouthful of a home town!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Chresti! Scraps!
	12:10pm Mark Hurst: Haven't heard the extended-play version for at least 30 years - thanks
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: I'm Potatoes!
	12:11pm dan: Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius,
	12:12pm listener james from westwood: Hot damn, the Falco/Taco twofer!
	12:12pm Roberto: Thank you, Taco, for that touching tribute to Falco.
	12:13pm Henry: young frankenstein
	12:13pm Dean: New O'Jays tune, anti-Trump and all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=JHSK71l7lbk
	12:13pm annie: oh, great log in just in time for this gem!
	12:14pm dan: Rock Me Amadeus and Puttin On The Ritz are the twin songs where you can't play one without the other.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Henry! Mark! Dean! Annie!
	12:15pm annie: doug,if you're lurking, sorry to miss the show today, i'll catch the archive
	12:16pm listener james from westwood: Neneh!
	12:16pm Doug Schulkind: @annie Freeform means never having to say you're sorry!
	12:17pm annie: thanks to the devoted FMU-ers
	12:17pm listener james from westwood: The video for this track cost like $400 and is awesome.
	12:17pm Webhamster Henry: Freeform archives mean never having to say you're listening!
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklets
	12:18pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for that late pledge, Webhamster Henry!
	12:19pm Roberto: Schmadness!
	12:20pm dan: Another song from this program that was featured on The Young Ones.
	12:20pm Parq: This Madness is one of my favorite singles EVER.
	12:21pm Roberto: I think they were the only artist to appear on The Young Ones more than once.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: Mini Young Ones set here! First time I heard Cherry was w/ Rip Rig + Panic during one episode
	12:21pm dan: @Roberto I believe you're right. The other time was when they performed "House Of Fun"
	12:21pm Parq: Sigh .. perfect.
	12:21pm ndbob: I appreciate the "no styrene" UM!
	12:22pm ndbob: and hello everyone!
	12:22pm annie: i miss MtV most of all from older pop-culture
	12:22pm Roberto: "House of Fun" could have been The Young Ones' alternate theme song.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	12:24pm Scraps: In the eighties, Madness was probably number one in England, so it makes sense that The Young Ones put them on twice
	12:24pm doctorjazz: Hey folks, happy Friday!
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: TBH the Young Ones were also my Motörhead gateway. Multiple bounties, that show. "Starry Eyes"!
	12:27pm Dominick: got me out of my chair!
	12:27pm coelacanth∅: Tom Jones is the only artist i acquaint with parrot records, but that doesn't look like a Tom Jones record...
	12:27pm Carmichael: The best jangly pop rock song of the 70s!
	12:28pm ndbob: lots of great records on Parrot
	12:28pm coelacanth∅: i liked starry eyes and still do. guilty!
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Dominick! Carmichael!
	12:32pm Webhamster Henry: Kind of a funny EQ on these Rain Dogs!
	12:33pm coelacanth∅: ndbob i just looked at wiki p and i do have a Lulu album that must be on parrot. i think all my zombies records must be reissues on a different label. oh and the monster mash i guess that's on parrot...
	12:35pm Dominick: More epic with each listen
	12:36pm ndbob: coelacanth - and lots of great obscure records - even the early Ides of March records that sound totally different - and a thousand times better then Vehicle - one of those labels it's worth taking a chance on
	🛒 12:37pm Franco Twinkie: The first album by Them. Parrot. Gloria, Mystic Eyes, Here comes the night.
	12:39pm ndbob: yep Franco
	12:42pm Parq: I used to like watching 45s go 'round on my little portable turntable. I especially liked the ones that were designed to look good spinning, like the Capitol label with its swirling yellow and orange. The Parrot label was a favorite, watching the parrot with his doffed bowler orbiting 'round and 'round.
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: i saw that them was on parrot. never had any them records - and ides of march, on my radar now. someone on fmu played a killer song by them (er, by ides of march) a few months ago and i been meaning to look into it.
	🛒 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: This is maddening. I'm trying to letter a title card outside on the porch, but I want to hang out inside and gab about records,
	12:44pm Dean: As a matter of fact, the SWL termination feature has been put to the test. Joe McG. discovered I'd duplicated mine. He stopped one of them.
	12:44pm ndbob: best Ides of March record is "You Wouldn't Listen"
	12:45pm listener james from westwood: Re this record: I was right!!
	12:45pm Rich in Washington: Me too!
	12:46pm Webhamster Henry: London calling ---- Vienna calling --- Call Me (Petula Clark/Tony Hatch) --- Call me (Blondie)
	12:47pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!! lovin the show so far. diggin the 80's cheese
	12:47pm dan: If Chris Farley were to perform this song as Matt Foley, he would have inserted "London is Burning, and I live in a van down by the river"
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Jon!
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: nice!
	12:49pm Jeff Golick: You should play more Tom Waits.
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite clash 45 - Clash City Rockers. Saw 'um in '79 with Bo Diddly.
	12:49pm dan: @Franco Bo and the Clash. Odd pairing. Who opened?
	12:50pm Dean: Same here, Franco, re: seeing them then (Santa Monica Civic) with BD. Hard to pin down a favorite tune, though. Bo Diddly opened!
	🛒 12:50pm Franco Twinkie: The Dils.
	12:50pm Roberto: Clashathon!
	12:50pm Doug Schulkind: I saw Bo Diddley open for the Clash in '79, too! In Washington, DC.
	12:51pm Dean: Did they? Why do I not remember that? Or maybe I do, but I mix it up with having heard The Dils at the Masque Benefit, too.
	12:51pm Parq: Notoriously, Clash fans in the US would be impatient with the black soul acts that Mick and the boys hand-picked to open for them.
	12:51pm dan: I can just picture Bo Diddley perform for a bunch of men in punk regalia and saying to himself, I need a new manager.
	12:51pm Stanley: I saw them on a Rock Against Racism demo in 1978 with Steel Pulse and X-Ray Spex.
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! Stanley!
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: saw clash right after london calling came out at the paladium, don't remember who opened. if it were Bo Diddly though i would've made it in time and i'd remember.
	12:52pm chresti: I like the maytals version better
	12:53pm Dean: Yep, The Dils: http://cluster1.website-staging.uk/blackmarketclash.co.uk/Bands/Clash/recordings/1979/79-02-09%20Santa%20Monica/79-02-09%20Santa%20Monica.html
	12:53pm Parq: Coal, I didn't see that show, but from what I remember, wasn't it Sam and Dave?
	🛒 12:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Were the Clash a punk band or did they use that musical moment to kick start their musical journey. From London Calling onwards they were a different band.
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: No styrene? What about Poly Styrene? She'd fit in great about now.
	12:54pm Rich in Washington: @parq: conversely, The Clash was an opener for The Who in Portland OR, and they weren't too well received by an arena (Portland Coliseum) full of Who fans.
	12:54pm doctorjazz: Got nothing on Toots.
	🛒 12:54pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I know. I get confused about those times. I was out all the time, every where in L.A. But I do remember The Dils in Santa Monica.
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: Parq i hope not! i don't want to have to kick myself repeatedly.
	12:54pm dan: Just play The Clash for the rest of the show, I'd be fine with that.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Brian! Rich!
	12:55pm Parq: Brian, they were popular in the U.S because they were perceived as a punk bad. As to what they actually were, you make a good point.
	12:55pm Asheville Jon: we gonna get any Bay City Rollers today?
	12:56pm dan: @Rich Who fans and Clash fans come from different backgrounds and mindsets
	12:56pm Parq: A college pal of mine had a racially mixed post-punk band that opened for the Clash in Hyannis. I'm told they went over okay. He's dead now, sad to say.
	12:56pm Dean: The Clash were certainly punk at the outset, via pub rock. Post-'79, to my mind, even punk wasn't punk.
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: I liked the fact that London Calling double album was in a single sleeve. Might have been perceived badly in a gatefold.
	12:57pm Dean: Hrm, this White Man... might be my favorite of theirs. Or Safe European Home.
	12:58pm dan: The black American equivalent is "White Man in the Apollo Theatre"
	🛒 12:59pm Franco Twinkie: That night in Santa Monica was a memorable night of personal turmoil for me.
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: the clash were activists. barely punk in their attitudes; they cared. then that douche glyn johns poured milk on them and the frat boys started listening.
	1:03pm dan: @Coelacantho The Clash are more punk than the corporate establishment sellouts known as Green Day
	🛒 1:03pm Brian in UK: @Dean select your genre name and insert. Have to say that Speed Garage is a favourite though not sure what it is.
	1:04pm Parq: What a great bass riff this is on Mag 7.
	1:06pm doctorjazz: Wha happened? Love that song...
	1:06pm The Oscar: Man, what a good band.
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: i don't have a favorite clash song. the first 3 records. ("the clash", give em enough rope, black market clash) are my favorites. the only 7"ers i have are the ones that came with albums. dan -for sure...i just don't like the term much. i mean, the clash and the sexpistols were practically opposite in their ideologies.
	🛒 1:06pm Franco Twinkie: Back to Parrot for a minute. Just found the 45 of Gloria. Flip side - Baby Please Don't Go with Jimmy Page burning it down,'65 style.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:07pm northguineahills: gasp! Finally came up for air from work, been here the whole time, but what a shin-diggity-dog job, UM! I have a stress headache, but w/o the hinky dink, I'd be in a coma!
	1:07pm Michael 98145: the pistols were a fabrication, i suspect the clash took it all more seriously
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: (oh i guess black market came out afte london calling)
	1:07pm Dean: Having more or less directly experienced the moment, I can't avoid regarding punk more as a space of time than a genre per se. Unlike, say, the arrival of Romanticism with, e.g., Beethoven. But, yeah, policing the borders of genres is inevitably arbitrary.
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: This was Colombia's punk band. Fifteen years earlier the big labels were all looking for the new Beatles.
	1:08pm ?: Sandy Pearlman signed my copy of Give 'Em Enough Rope.
	1:08pm Dean: ^Me.
	1:08pm Roberto: The shields can't hold all these favorites, captain!
	1:08pm Michael 98145: well-said, @Dean
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: NGH! Michael!
	1:10pm spodiodi: Clash Disco is the best Disco
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: just the 'pistols were totally selfish and promoted that, when the clash were trying to raise consciousness.
	1:12pm Parq: Weren't the Pistols an elaborate sarcasm? When they sneered "We mean it, man!", they didn't, is what I always understood.
	1:12pm Michael 98145: not going anywhere -- really enjoying this ♫
	🛒 1:13pm Brian in UK: Punk over here was more of a catalyist! Some great music came out following it.
	1:14pm Michael 98145: '77 shook us awake
	🛒 1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Back in the day it all seemed so random, but then a lot of really dumb people started making up all kinds of outlandish rules. Reminded me of that John Waters movie where some despot(Edith Massey?) declared in Backwards Day, or some such shit. That was an aspect of punk in L.A. at the time
	1:15pm spodiodi: I missed: Neil Diamond, Falco, Neneh Cherry, Madness, TOm Waits, and Prince !! ^$#^%@!!
	1:17pm Michael 98145: kombucha
	1:17pm Scraps: The Sex Pistols was a sign (for me, anyway) that fake/not-fake doesn't really matter. They were fake; they didn't care; their album was one of the greatest. Still holds up.
	1:18pm dan: Just gave $20 UM and wrote "Keep It Up"
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: Seen the photo of Johnny in the MAGA t-shirt? That's quite a thing.
	1:18pm Parq: I'm sure I will get blowback for this, but my memory of punk in the US. is that it was like Halloween -- a reason to dress oddly and behave outlandishly. And Scraps, I agree with you 100% about what a great albm "Bollocks" was.
	1:18pm Asheville Jon: oy, i am drowning in the cheese of this song!
	1:19pm Asheville Jon: how about Fancy Dancer by Bread?
	1:20pm Michael 98145: i still see the occasional kid in a foot-high mohawk
	1:20pm Scraps: "If" has got the most laughable lyrics.... of all time. David Gates wrote some great music, but his lyrics, oh god.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Spodiodi! The wine'rs on me!
	1:21pm Parq: Faulty memory -- I would have bet money that "Distant Fire" was from Boz Scaggs's blue-eyed soul turn.
	1:21pm dan: This set needs a little Gino Vannelli. Any of that coming UM?
	1:21pm Asheville Jon: the version of IF by Telly Savalas is awesome www.youtube.com...
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: @Scraps 'If' it is good enough for Telly Savalas it is good enough.......
	1:23pm Scraps: i was a punk, and a minority of US punks took it seriously. I mean, the Minutemen were not Halloween.
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: I honestly don't understand what "smoke from a distant fire" is getting at.
	1:24pm listener james from westwood: Music from my first full decade of existence = comfort to the ears.
	1:25pm Michael 98145: as Lydon said, anger is an energy
	1:25pm Scraps: Kiss You All Over: a Chinn/Chapman song that's a little different
	1:25pm dan: Exile did the Kenny Rogers thing, pop music followed by country.
	1:27pm ndbob: I need to go - excellent show UM!
	🛒 1:27pm Brian in UK: England Dan & John Ford Coley neighbourhood.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Bye Bob! Sorry to run you off!
	1:28pm Scraps: England Dan & John Ford Coley & Seals & Crofts
	1:30pm listener james from westwood: Andy Gibb!
	1:30pm northguineahills: Will donate tomorrow, as I got paid today. Going to try to different djs then the spring. (got to spread the love).
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: Thank you NGH!
	1:33pm Lane Gray: More donations will come from Mrs. Gray's paycheck. My boss paid for her to go to school and get her CDL to be my cod river She passed and is now a fully licensed truck driver!
	🛒 1:35pm Brian in UK: @Lane Congratulations. Does she play the pedal steel too?
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Cod river!
	🛒 1:35pm Franco Twinkie: In the very same venue I saw The Clash, in 1971 saw England Dan et all. opening for Poco. I'd like to say it was low moment, but at this point I'm not sure. However, I do remember someone wearing a sweater vest.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	1:36pm Michael 98145: cool - daddy was a Teamster
	1:36pm Roberto: Behind every great man is a cod river.
	1:36pm annie: @ lane: my son's gf is driving truck now, flatbeds.she always HAS wanted to travel.. she drives for Prime.
	🛒 1:37pm Brian in UK: @FT do you mean what we call a tank top.
	1:38pm Lane Gray: The first version of "If" I ever heard was from a band called "the II Generation" , a bluegrass band led by Eddie Adcock (youtube "banjo brain surgery"). Likewise "So Happy Together" "Old Man and two other iconic songs whose names elude me.
	1:38pm Michael 98145: @Brian, i do believe you are correct : en.wikipedia.org...
	1:38pm northguineahills: Yeah, the missus lost her job on her bday (9/11), and lost her insurance, and then got really ill, it doesn't help I'm ill, and the only insurance my tiny company can get is expensive for me, and adding her would be prohibitively expensive. I wish I lived in a first world nation. What a country! (first time I've been ill enough to see a doctor since I was a child).
	🛒 1:39pm Franco Twinkie: Brian, To us folks a tank top is a wife beater with stripes.
	1:41pm Lane Gray: One thing at a time, Brian. But she loves Lloyd and Jimmy Day. As well as both of the Jones boys: Tom and George
	1:41pm listener james from westwood: Aw, having Better Call Saul feels for this ABBA!
	1:41pm Scraps: "An Everlasting Love" is a beautiful song, flowing from part to part. One of the best BeeGees songs that they wrote for someone else. Maybe the best. I love it when I first heard it, till now.
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: (in addition to its being my fave of theirs!)
	1:42pm Henry: Wildfire or Mandy would be good about now
	1:42pm Lane Gray: She just pulled up Nancy Griffith's live version of "Ford Econoline " Lloyd nailed that sucker to the wall.
	1:43pm Asheville Jon: ABBA the greatest supergroup of all time, past, present, future.
	1:45pm annie: i love the random attacks of Abba..
	1:45pm 23 Wolves: ABBA gives me chills. Even King Kong Song! That last episode of Saul was soooooo good. Great show, Unc!
	1:45pm Asheville Jon: ANNIE!
	1:47pm Scraps: I thought "supergroup" was a term for a a group formed from two or more famous groups, like Cream....
	1:47pm annie: jon!!!!
	1:47pm Lane Gray: Jon, I thought Supergroup was a specific term for a band made up of people who were already luminaries in their own right, such as Toto (who were all, IIRC, top level session hands who made Toto as their equivalent of "Thursday bowling night." If I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time
	1:48pm listener james from westwood: @23Wolves: Re: the season 4 ender: Right?!!
	1:48pm Scraps: me & Lane agree....
	1:51pm Lane Gray: Abba is some of the best-crafted pop ever. I think they belong on the same very high pedestal as Toto and the previously played Supertramp (Boston almost belongs there, but I think they and Foreigner don't make the high side of the boundary between really good and absolutely finest).
	1:52pm Michael 98145: now we're cookin with gas
	1:52pm Asheville Jon: ABBA members already had previous success before forming teh ultimate powerhouse of ABBA. luminaries, perhaps not, but they didn't just appear out of nowhere.
	1:53pm Lane Gray: Fair enough, Jon.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: 23W!
	1:56pm Scraps: Really? I didn't know that. As far as I know, ABBA was their first time; before ABBA, they were obscure. As far as I know.
	1:57pm joe: 'Ello Folks
	1:57pm The Oscar: The fact that there's a Mario character from the early '90s named after Wendy O. Williams still blows my mind. Iggy Pop too, coincidentally.
	1:58pm Asheville Jon: www.abba-intermezzo.de...
	1:58pm Roberto: Baboosh!
	1:58pm dan: You're the best UM for bringing up this Kate Bush classic.
	1:59pm Michael 98145: KT ✥
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Joe!
	2:00pm Roberto: I played a cassette of Never For Ever loudly and repeatedly during my senior year in college. It had the fringe benefit of annoying all my housemates.
	2:01pm Michael 98145: yikes, was this really 38 years ago? oh, my.
	2:02pm dan: One of the best performances is Kate Bush and David Gilmour performing "Running Up That Hill" at the Secret Policeman's Ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5wc1R0AQ_M
	2:02pm Scraps: The video of Babooshka is.... mesmerizing
	2:02pm Parq: The "Butterfly Collectors" 45 came as a bonus with one of their albums. I still have mine.
	2:02pm joe: Woa! Really bumming I missed that Clash set
	🛒 2:04pm Brian in UK: Singles Going Steady is such a good idea.
	2:05pm Scraps: Ah, I have the single of The Butterfly Collector! (to me, The Butterfly Collector is the a-side, so much better)
	2:06pm Scraps: Parq, I think it was Sound Affects...
	2:07pm holland oats: their best imho
	2:07pm Parq: Long-time FMU listeners and general weird-music fan: does anyone remember a record that FMU played semi-heavy for a while that involved some kids singing "Say You Don't Love Me"?
	2:07pm Michael 98145: yay !!
	🛒 2:08pm Franco Twinkie: Okay now! A Verlaine/Loyd conversation.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Holland!
	2:09pm chresti: I like this!
	2:09pm Jeff Golick: Is the TV single different than the LP version?
	2:10pm Jeff Golick: (other than the edit, I mean)
	2:11pm Roberto: Oh snap, that was a Marquee Half-Moon!
	2:11pm Scraps: I think the 45 of "Going Underground" was also given away with an American album. Polydor was trying very hard.
	2:11pm Stanley: Television. Nice.
	2:12pm doctorjazz: One of my favorite bands of the time (still put on a fine show
	2:12pm joe: @parq doesn't ring a bell but then again my bell has been rung a lot
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, just an edit.
	2:14pm joe: @parq pre accuplaylist?
	🛒 2:14pm Franco Twinkie: Top band for me too, Doc. Saw them alot.
	2:15pm Michael 98145: never tire of hearing them
	2:15pm Parq: Joe, way so. Like not long after the original came out. But it's worth a try.
	2:16pm Scraps: "Prove It" 45 was Elektra being really dumb. They put on a "PUNK ROCK!" on the 45, and it was an amateur job even... let's see if I can find it
	🛒 2:17pm Franco Twinkie: Saw them right after Adventure came out. They were razor sharp.
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: @Scraps: wow - www.discogs.com...
	2:19pm Scraps: there you go!
	2:20pm Michael 98145: erk. guess i'd forgotten that packaging.
	2:20pm Roberto: We now return you to our regularly scheduled Marquee Moon already in progress.
	2:21pm Parq: Joe, that did the trick! Thanks for reminding me that I had that option. www.youtube.com...
	2:21pm Scraps: not an exclamation point, but a fist!
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: part two is much longer...that's not a complaint
	2:22pm chresti: Can never get enough of marquee moon
	2:24pm doctorjazz: Big finish ..
	2:24pm thatpatsmith: my favorite guitar solo of all time
	🛒 2:25pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti and I saw them at The Great American Music Hall In San Francisco just before Richard Loyd quit for good. Jimmy Ripp is very good, but Tom and Richard had something telepathic going on for sure.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Pat!
	2:25pm Michael 98145: transcendent
	2:25pm thatpatsmith: Unk!
	2:25pm chresti: Haha Roberto!
	2:27pm Roberto: Yeah that was eminently unsatisfying.
	2:27pm joe: Maybe they were trying to give you that wonderful 8 Track experience.
	2:28pm joe: Parq, Very cool
	🛒 2:28pm Franco Twinkie: How 'bout Little Johnny Jewel on Ork? Same damn thing!
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: Absolutely the same reaction, UM. I want to believe that whole part of the track saved some kids back in the day.
	2:30pm Rich in Washington: Singles Going Steady was the name of a great Portland OR record store. It was the first place I ever set foot on and saw genuine punk rock and new wave records as a kid. It was rather mindblowing.
	2:32pm Dean: I remember hearing I Got A Right at Greg Shaw's Bomp! Records in LA back in the day.
	2:33pm Roberto: Black Sea - another album I played repeatedly on cassette during my senior year!
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: God, I miss the Cold War.
	2:35pm joe: Stick around you may get a repeat :p
	2:36pm Roberto: Yes, we're due for replay 1998.
	🛒 2:36pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, Someday we can have our own 45 party at Evert and Jones on San Pablo. I'll bring one of my classroom record players AND my copy of I Got A Right....among other things.
	2:38pm chresti: I kind of lost track of the number of contributions I’ve made in the past couple weeks...
	2:38pm Dean: Haven't been to E&J in years, but you'll catch me now and then, kids in tow, at the bar at Lanesplitter. KC's BBQ moved closer to us, too. Haven't been there, yet.
	2:39pm Marie: Such a great show today UM. Thanks!
	2:39pm Dean: Me, too, chresti! Part of the problem is that if you don't take any swag, the email confirmation doesn't identify the show. I suppose I can figure out by time of day, since I tend to give during a show.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Thank you!
	2:40pm chresti: I’m waiting for my pockets to jingle again
	🛒 2:40pm Franco Twinkie: I'm not a deadbeat! Chresti does all the card shit.
	🛒 2:42pm Franco Twinkie: ....and I give her money all the time.
	2:44pm Mark R: I love XTC--the earlier, the better!
	2:44pm Scraps: All singles by XTC are great, but "Ten Feet Tall" is godlike.
	2:44pm chresti: Yes Franco’s pockets figure in total pocket assets
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Mark!
	2:44pm Roberto: I could have used Sgt. Rock's help.
	2:44pm Jeff Golick: You know, I was thinking to myself that it can be hard to go from XTC to other music, such is their idiosyncratic sound. But you've figured out a nice work-around, @UM.
	🛒 2:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm here late and mad I missed so much great stuff!
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	2:45pm Parq: "Generals and Majors" and "Sgt. Rock" were released together on an EP, along with "Another Cuba", under the heading "The Army EP".
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, I have a certain savant genius.
	2:47pm Parq: Scraps, at 44 after the hour: you said it! XTC don't get enough love, IMO. Sure, we all love them, but really, they ought to be considered in the same realm as the Kinks.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: What Parq said.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: you should see my tie knot
	2:49pm Parq: That guitar break, though.
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: This has a good beat.
	2:50pm Scraps: God, Colin Moulding was for a few years awesome on singles. "Ten Feet Tall", "Life Begins at the Hop", "Making Plans for Nigel"... shakes head. Should be famous for that alone.
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: It's been neat to see the mutual admiration between Andy Partridge and R. Stevie Moore unfurl online, via an XTC cover the latter posted and the response from the former.
	2:54pm Parq: Scraps, remember "Stupidly Happy" from one of their later albums, "Wasp Star" I think?
	2:54pm Rich in Washington: I think I've said this more than once on this board, but the XTC/Partridge doc is worth watching.
	2:54pm holland oats: moulding and rsm recorded together didn't they?
	🛒 2:55pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Unc. Fortified, I can now go deal with my mother.
	🛒 2:56pm Brian in UK: Good work, Uncle. With a few exceptions all tracks '77-'82.
	2:58pm Scraps: My wife Velma [RIP, four years ago yesterday, sigh] "Life Begins at the Hop", me & Velma dancing in downtown Manhattan, laughing, so happy.... very good memory.
	2:58pm Parq: Here's a song that's more timely than ever.
	2:59pm Scraps: Parq, I remember all XTC! Just love XTC
	3:00pm Michael 98145: Rodney on the ROQ
	3:01pm Michael 98145: thanks, UM !!
	3:01pm Scraps: Thank you, Uncle Michael!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all so much!
	3:02pm dan: A great show of singles UM.
	3:03pm Parq: Literally a tear in my eye listening to this version of "Simpleton".
	3:03pm Stanley: Terrific show. Thanks Uncle
	🛒 3:03pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Scraps! The Goodwill stores around here play music videos on TVs. Every time I go to the local one, they play Mayor of Simpleton, which makes me happy.
	3:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM!
	3:05pm Jeff Golick: (I imagine Elvis Costelllo hearing "Simpleton" for the first time and just shaking his head.)
	3:05pm joe: Thank you!!!!
	3:06pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a wonderful show, Uncle Michael!
	🛒 3:07pm Franco Twinkie: KROQ was down the street from my house. Got free Pistols promo records there.
	3:08pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM!!
	3:08pm Listening Out There: Enjoy Nashville. I was down there recently. Nice place...
	3:08pm joe: with Joe MCG
	4:09pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM! i had to abruptly continue my work day and though i'm quite okay to have completely missed your 3rd set!(no offense, as you know) i have no choice but to revisit for the 4th & 5th sets. -what an amazing playlist!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 19, 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.

Listener comments!
	11:42am Parq: "Speaking of bears who can read"?
	12:00pm listener james from westwood: How do, UM, Parq, and all! So does a record from Parrot keep asking for a cracker if it skips?
	12:02pm Roberto: 'sup my hinks and dinks!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Oops, sorry. Already classified you. My bad.
	12:05pm Roberto: Dennsionshermanshermandennison, TX?
	12:05pm Listening Out There: Waiting for the city song for Hell, Michigan...
	12:06pm rw: Woo! Bring on the scratchiness!
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: This is a very odd version of In the Pines.
	12:06pm dan: I don't see the song and yet I know it's Neil Diamond
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Oarq! James! Roberto! Doug! LOT! RW! Dan!
	12:07pm chresti: Hello! Do it!
	12:08pm Parq: The Sherman–Denison Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of one county – Grayson – in North Texas, anchored by the cities of Sherman and Denison. As of the 2010 census, the MSA had a population of 120,877.

It is also a major part of the Texoma region with proximity to both Lake Texoma and the Red River. Now you know.
	12:09pm dan: Rock Me Amadeus, 'eh?
	12:09pm Scraps: h'lo h'lo getting ready, sixty yellow spiders!
	12:09pm listener james from westwood: I took a whole college elective on Mozart, using the Shaffer play and the Zeffirelli movie as its base for supporting and debunking myths while teaching about his music, and not ONCE did the professor play ANY version of this. #robbed
	12:09pm Webhamster Henry: That's kind a mouthful of a home town!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Chresti! Scraps!
	12:10pm Mark Hurst: Haven't heard the extended-play version for at least 30 years - thanks
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: I'm Potatoes!
	12:11pm dan: Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius,
	12:12pm listener james from westwood: Hot damn, the Falco/Taco twofer!
	12:12pm Roberto: Thank you, Taco, for that touching tribute to Falco.
	12:13pm Henry: young frankenstein
	12:13pm Dean: New O'Jays tune, anti-Trump and all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=JHSK71l7lbk
	12:13pm annie: oh, great log in just in time for this gem!
	12:14pm dan: Rock Me Amadeus and Puttin On The Ritz are the twin songs where you can't play one without the other.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Henry! Mark! Dean! Annie!
	12:15pm annie: doug,if you're lurking, sorry to miss the show today, i'll catch the archive
	12:16pm listener james from westwood: Neneh!
	12:16pm Doug Schulkind: @annie Freeform means never having to say you're sorry!
	12:17pm annie: thanks to the devoted FMU-ers
	12:17pm listener james from westwood: The video for this track cost like $400 and is awesome.
	12:17pm Webhamster Henry: Freeform archives mean never having to say you're listening!
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M and Dinklets
	12:18pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for that late pledge, Webhamster Henry!
	12:19pm Roberto: Schmadness!
	12:20pm dan: Another song from this program that was featured on The Young Ones.
	12:20pm Parq: This Madness is one of my favorite singles EVER.
	12:21pm Roberto: I think they were the only artist to appear on The Young Ones more than once.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	12:21pm listener james from westwood: Mini Young Ones set here! First time I heard Cherry was w/ Rip Rig + Panic during one episode
	12:21pm dan: @Roberto I believe you're right. The other time was when they performed "House Of Fun"
	12:21pm Parq: Sigh .. perfect.
	12:21pm ndbob: I appreciate the "no styrene" UM!
	12:22pm ndbob: and hello everyone!
	12:22pm annie: i miss MtV most of all from older pop-culture
	12:22pm Roberto: "House of Fun" could have been The Young Ones' alternate theme song.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	12:24pm Scraps: In the eighties, Madness was probably number one in England, so it makes sense that The Young Ones put them on twice
	12:24pm doctorjazz: Hey folks, happy Friday!
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	12:27pm listener james from westwood: TBH the Young Ones were also my Motörhead gateway. Multiple bounties, that show. "Starry Eyes"!
	12:27pm Dominick: got me out of my chair!
	12:27pm coelacanth∅: Tom Jones is the only artist i acquaint with parrot records, but that doesn't look like a Tom Jones record...
	12:27pm Carmichael: The best jangly pop rock song of the 70s!
	12:28pm ndbob: lots of great records on Parrot
	12:28pm coelacanth∅: i liked starry eyes and still do. guilty!
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Dominick! Carmichael!
	12:32pm Webhamster Henry: Kind of a funny EQ on these Rain Dogs!
	12:33pm coelacanth∅: ndbob i just looked at wiki p and i do have a Lulu album that must be on parrot. i think all my zombies records must be reissues on a different label. oh and the monster mash i guess that's on parrot...
	12:35pm Dominick: More epic with each listen
	12:36pm ndbob: coelacanth - and lots of great obscure records - even the early Ides of March records that sound totally different - and a thousand times better then Vehicle - one of those labels it's worth taking a chance on
	🛒 12:37pm Franco Twinkie: The first album by Them. Parrot. Gloria, Mystic Eyes, Here comes the night.
	12:39pm ndbob: yep Franco
	12:42pm Parq: I used to like watching 45s go 'round on my little portable turntable. I especially liked the ones that were designed to look good spinning, like the Capitol label with its swirling yellow and orange. The Parrot label was a favorite, watching the parrot with his doffed bowler orbiting 'round and 'round.
	12:43pm coelacanth∅: i saw that them was on parrot. never had any them records - and ides of march, on my radar now. someone on fmu played a killer song by them (er, by ides of march) a few months ago and i been meaning to look into it.
	🛒 12:43pm Franco Twinkie: This is maddening. I'm trying to letter a title card outside on the porch, but I want to hang out inside and gab about records,
	12:44pm Dean: As a matter of fact, the SWL termination feature has been put to the test. Joe McG. discovered I'd duplicated mine. He stopped one of them.
	12:44pm ndbob: best Ides of March record is "You Wouldn't Listen"
	12:45pm listener james from westwood: Re this record: I was right!!
	12:45pm Rich in Washington: Me too!
	12:46pm Webhamster Henry: London calling ---- Vienna calling --- Call Me (Petula Clark/Tony Hatch) --- Call me (Blondie)
	12:47pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!! lovin the show so far. diggin the 80's cheese
	12:47pm dan: If Chris Farley were to perform this song as Matt Foley, he would have inserted "London is Burning, and I live in a van down by the river"
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Jon!
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: nice!
	12:49pm Jeff Golick: You should play more Tom Waits.
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite clash 45 - Clash City Rockers. Saw 'um in '79 with Bo Diddly.
	12:49pm dan: @Franco Bo and the Clash. Odd pairing. Who opened?
	12:50pm Dean: Same here, Franco, re: seeing them then (Santa Monica Civic) with BD. Hard to pin down a favorite tune, though. Bo Diddly opened!
	🛒 12:50pm Franco Twinkie: The Dils.
	12:50pm Roberto: Clashathon!
	12:50pm Doug Schulkind: I saw Bo Diddley open for the Clash in '79, too! In Washington, DC.
	12:51pm Dean: Did they? Why do I not remember that? Or maybe I do, but I mix it up with having heard The Dils at the Masque Benefit, too.
	12:51pm Parq: Notoriously, Clash fans in the US would be impatient with the black soul acts that Mick and the boys hand-picked to open for them.
	12:51pm dan: I can just picture Bo Diddley perform for a bunch of men in punk regalia and saying to himself, I need a new manager.
	12:51pm Stanley: I saw them on a Rock Against Racism demo in 1978 with Steel Pulse and X-Ray Spex.
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! Stanley!
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: saw clash right after london calling came out at the paladium, don't remember who opened. if it were Bo Diddly though i would've made it in time and i'd remember.
	12:52pm chresti: I like the maytals version better
	12:53pm Dean: Yep, The Dils: http://cluster1.website-staging.uk/blackmarketclash.co.uk/Bands/Clash/recordings/1979/79-02-09%20Santa%20Monica/79-02-09%20Santa%20Monica.html
	12:53pm Parq: Coal, I didn't see that show, but from what I remember, wasn't it Sam and Dave?
	🛒 12:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Uncle. Were the Clash a punk band or did they use that musical moment to kick start their musical journey. From London Calling onwards they were a different band.
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: No styrene? What about Poly Styrene? She'd fit in great about now.
	12:54pm Rich in Washington: @parq: conversely, The Clash was an opener for The Who in Portland OR, and they weren't too well received by an arena (Portland Coliseum) full of Who fans.
	12:54pm doctorjazz: Got nothing on Toots.
	🛒 12:54pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I know. I get confused about those times. I was out all the time, every where in L.A. But I do remember The Dils in Santa Monica.
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: Parq i hope not! i don't want to have to kick myself repeatedly.
	12:54pm dan: Just play The Clash for the rest of the show, I'd be fine with that.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: Brian! Rich!
	12:55pm Parq: Brian, they were popular in the U.S because they were perceived as a punk bad. As to what they actually were, you make a good point.
	12:55pm Asheville Jon: we gonna get any Bay City Rollers today?
	12:56pm dan: @Rich Who fans and Clash fans come from different backgrounds and mindsets
	12:56pm Parq: A college pal of mine had a racially mixed post-punk band that opened for the Clash in Hyannis. I'm told they went over okay. He's dead now, sad to say.
	12:56pm Dean: The Clash were certainly punk at the outset, via pub rock. Post-'79, to my mind, even punk wasn't punk.
	🛒 12:57pm Brian in UK: I liked the fact that London Calling double album was in a single sleeve. Might have been perceived badly in a gatefold.
	12:57pm Dean: Hrm, this White Man... might be my favorite of theirs. Or Safe European Home.
	12:58pm dan: The black American equivalent is "White Man in the Apollo Theatre"
	🛒 12:59pm Franco Twinkie: That night in Santa Monica was a memorable night of personal turmoil for me.
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: the clash were activists. barely punk in their attitudes; they cared. then that douche glyn johns poured milk on them and the frat boys started listening.
	1:03pm dan: @Coelacantho The Clash are more punk than the corporate establishment sellouts known as Green Day
	🛒 1:03pm Brian in UK: @Dean select your genre name and insert. Have to say that Speed Garage is a favourite though not sure what it is.
	1:04pm Parq: What a great bass riff this is on Mag 7.
	1:06pm doctorjazz: Wha happened? Love that song...
	1:06pm The Oscar: Man, what a good band.
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: i don't have a favorite clash song. the first 3 records. ("the clash", give em enough rope, black market clash) are my favorites. the only 7"ers i have are the ones that came with albums. dan -for sure...i just don't like the term much. i mean, the clash and the sexpistols were practically opposite in their ideologies.
	🛒 1:06pm Franco Twinkie: Back to Parrot for a minute. Just found the 45 of Gloria. Flip side - Baby Please Don't Go with Jimmy Page burning it down,'65 style.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Oscar!
	1:07pm northguineahills: gasp! Finally came up for air from work, been here the whole time, but what a shin-diggity-dog job, UM! I have a stress headache, but w/o the hinky dink, I'd be in a coma!
	1:07pm Michael 98145: the pistols were a fabrication, i suspect the clash took it all more seriously
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: (oh i guess black market came out afte london calling)
	1:07pm Dean: Having more or less directly experienced the moment, I can't avoid regarding punk more as a space of time than a genre per se. Unlike, say, the arrival of Romanticism with, e.g., Beethoven. But, yeah, policing the borders of genres is inevitably arbitrary.
	🛒 1:08pm Brian in UK: This was Colombia's punk band. Fifteen years earlier the big labels were all looking for the new Beatles.
	1:08pm ?: Sandy Pearlman signed my copy of Give 'Em Enough Rope.
	1:08pm Dean: ^Me.
	1:08pm Roberto: The shields can't hold all these favorites, captain!
	1:08pm Michael 98145: well-said, @Dean
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: NGH! Michael!
	1:10pm spodiodi: Clash Disco is the best Disco
	1:10pm coelacanth∅: just the 'pistols were totally selfish and promoted that, when the clash were trying to raise consciousness.
	1:12pm Parq: Weren't the Pistols an elaborate sarcasm? When they sneered "We mean it, man!", they didn't, is what I always understood.
	1:12pm Michael 98145: not going anywhere -- really enjoying this ♫
	🛒 1:13pm Brian in UK: Punk over here was more of a catalyist! Some great music came out following it.
	1:14pm Michael 98145: '77 shook us awake
	🛒 1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Back in the day it all seemed so random, but then a lot of really dumb people started making up all kinds of outlandish rules. Reminded me of that John Waters movie where some despot(Edith Massey?) declared in Backwards Day, or some such shit. That was an aspect of punk in L.A. at the time
	1:15pm spodiodi: I missed: Neil Diamond, Falco, Neneh Cherry, Madness, TOm Waits, and Prince !! ^$#^%@!!
	1:17pm Michael 98145: kombucha
	1:17pm Scraps: The Sex Pistols was a sign (for me, anyway) that fake/not-fake doesn't really matter. They were fake; they didn't care; their album was one of the greatest. Still holds up.
	1:18pm dan: Just gave $20 UM and wrote "Keep It Up"
	1:18pm Jeff Golick: Seen the photo of Johnny in the MAGA t-shirt? That's quite a thing.
	1:18pm Parq: I'm sure I will get blowback for this, but my memory of punk in the US. is that it was like Halloween -- a reason to dress oddly and behave outlandishly. And Scraps, I agree with you 100% about what a great albm "Bollocks" was.
	1:18pm Asheville Jon: oy, i am drowning in the cheese of this song!
	1:19pm Asheville Jon: how about Fancy Dancer by Bread?
	1:20pm Michael 98145: i still see the occasional kid in a foot-high mohawk
	1:20pm Scraps: "If" has got the most laughable lyrics.... of all time. David Gates wrote some great music, but his lyrics, oh god.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Spodiodi! The wine'rs on me!
	1:21pm Parq: Faulty memory -- I would have bet money that "Distant Fire" was from Boz Scaggs's blue-eyed soul turn.
	1:21pm dan: This set needs a little Gino Vannelli. Any of that coming UM?
	1:21pm Asheville Jon: the version of IF by Telly Savalas is awesome www.youtube.com...
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: @Scraps 'If' it is good enough for Telly Savalas it is good enough.......
	1:23pm Scraps: i was a punk, and a minority of US punks took it seriously. I mean, the Minutemen were not Halloween.
	1:24pm Jeff Golick: I honestly don't understand what "smoke from a distant fire" is getting at.
	1:24pm listener james from westwood: Music from my first full decade of existence = comfort to the ears.
	1:25pm Michael 98145: as Lydon said, anger is an energy
	1:25pm Scraps: Kiss You All Over: a Chinn/Chapman song that's a little different
	1:25pm dan: Exile did the Kenny Rogers thing, pop music followed by country.
	1:27pm ndbob: I need to go - excellent show UM!
	🛒 1:27pm Brian in UK: England Dan & John Ford Coley neighbourhood.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: Bye Bob! Sorry to run you off!
	1:28pm Scraps: England Dan & John Ford Coley & Seals & Crofts
	1:30pm listener james from westwood: Andy Gibb!
	1:30pm northguineahills: Will donate tomorrow, as I got paid today. Going to try to different djs then the spring. (got to spread the love).
	1:31pm Uncle Michael: Thank you NGH!
	1:33pm Lane Gray: More donations will come from Mrs. Gray's paycheck. My boss paid for her to go to school and get her CDL to be my cod river She passed and is now a fully licensed truck driver!
	🛒 1:35pm Brian in UK: @Lane Congratulations. Does she play the pedal steel too?
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Cod river!
	🛒 1:35pm Franco Twinkie: In the very same venue I saw The Clash, in 1971 saw England Dan et all. opening for Poco. I'd like to say it was low moment, but at this point I'm not sure. However, I do remember someone wearing a sweater vest.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	1:36pm Michael 98145: cool - daddy was a Teamster
	1:36pm Roberto: Behind every great man is a cod river.
	1:36pm annie: @ lane: my son's gf is driving truck now, flatbeds.she always HAS wanted to travel.. she drives for Prime.
	🛒 1:37pm Brian in UK: @FT do you mean what we call a tank top.
	1:38pm Lane Gray: The first version of "If" I ever heard was from a band called "the II Generation" , a bluegrass band led by Eddie Adcock (youtube "banjo brain surgery"). Likewise "So Happy Together" "Old Man and two other iconic songs whose names elude me.
	1:38pm Michael 98145: @Brian, i do believe you are correct : en.wikipedia.org...
	1:38pm northguineahills: Yeah, the missus lost her job on her bday (9/11), and lost her insurance, and then got really ill, it doesn't help I'm ill, and the only insurance my tiny company can get is expensive for me, and adding her would be prohibitively expensive. I wish I lived in a first world nation. What a country! (first time I've been ill enough to see a doctor since I was a child).
	🛒 1:39pm Franco Twinkie: Brian, To us folks a tank top is a wife beater with stripes.
	1:41pm Lane Gray: One thing at a time, Brian. But she loves Lloyd and Jimmy Day. As well as both of the Jones boys: Tom and George
	1:41pm listener james from westwood: Aw, having Better Call Saul feels for this ABBA!
	1:41pm Scraps: "An Everlasting Love" is a beautiful song, flowing from part to part. One of the best BeeGees songs that they wrote for someone else. Maybe the best. I love it when I first heard it, till now.
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: (in addition to its being my fave of theirs!)
	1:42pm Henry: Wildfire or Mandy would be good about now
	1:42pm Lane Gray: She just pulled up Nancy Griffith's live version of "Ford Econoline " Lloyd nailed that sucker to the wall.
	1:43pm Asheville Jon: ABBA the greatest supergroup of all time, past, present, future.
	1:45pm annie: i love the random attacks of Abba..
	1:45pm 23 Wolves: ABBA gives me chills. Even King Kong Song! That last episode of Saul was soooooo good. Great show, Unc!
	1:45pm Asheville Jon: ANNIE!
	1:47pm Scraps: I thought "supergroup" was a term for a a group formed from two or more famous groups, like Cream....
	1:47pm annie: jon!!!!
	1:47pm Lane Gray: Jon, I thought Supergroup was a specific term for a band made up of people who were already luminaries in their own right, such as Toto (who were all, IIRC, top level session hands who made Toto as their equivalent of "Thursday bowling night." If I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time
	1:48pm listener james from westwood: @23Wolves: Re: the season 4 ender: Right?!!
	1:48pm Scraps: me & Lane agree....
	1:51pm Lane Gray: Abba is some of the best-crafted pop ever. I think they belong on the same very high pedestal as Toto and the previously played Supertramp (Boston almost belongs there, but I think they and Foreigner don't make the high side of the boundary between really good and absolutely finest).
	1:52pm Michael 98145: now we're cookin with gas
	1:52pm Asheville Jon: ABBA members already had previous success before forming teh ultimate powerhouse of ABBA. luminaries, perhaps not, but they didn't just appear out of nowhere.
	1:53pm Lane Gray: Fair enough, Jon.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: 23W!
	1:56pm Scraps: Really? I didn't know that. As far as I know, ABBA was their first time; before ABBA, they were obscure. As far as I know.
	1:57pm joe: 'Ello Folks
	1:57pm The Oscar: The fact that there's a Mario character from the early '90s named after Wendy O. Williams still blows my mind. Iggy Pop too, coincidentally.
	1:58pm Asheville Jon: www.abba-intermezzo.de...
	1:58pm Roberto: Baboosh!
	1:58pm dan: You're the best UM for bringing up this Kate Bush classic.
	1:59pm Michael 98145: KT ✥
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: Joe!
	2:00pm Roberto: I played a cassette of Never For Ever loudly and repeatedly during my senior year in college. It had the fringe benefit of annoying all my housemates.
	2:01pm Michael 98145: yikes, was this really 38 years ago? oh, my.
	2:02pm dan: One of the best performances is Kate Bush and David Gilmour performing "Running Up That Hill" at the Secret Policeman's Ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5wc1R0AQ_M
	2:02pm Scraps: The video of Babooshka is.... mesmerizing
	2:02pm Parq: The "Butterfly Collectors" 45 came as a bonus with one of their albums. I still have mine.
	2:02pm joe: Woa! Really bumming I missed that Clash set
	🛒 2:04pm Brian in UK: Singles Going Steady is such a good idea.
	2:05pm Scraps: Ah, I have the single of The Butterfly Collector! (to me, The Butterfly Collector is the a-side, so much better)
	2:06pm Scraps: Parq, I think it was Sound Affects...
	2:07pm holland oats: their best imho
	2:07pm Parq: Long-time FMU listeners and general weird-music fan: does anyone remember a record that FMU played semi-heavy for a while that involved some kids singing "Say You Don't Love Me"?
	2:07pm Michael 98145: yay !!
	🛒 2:08pm Franco Twinkie: Okay now! A Verlaine/Loyd conversation.
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Holland!
	2:09pm chresti: I like this!
	2:09pm Jeff Golick: Is the TV single different than the LP version?
	2:10pm Jeff Golick: (other than the edit, I mean)
	2:11pm Roberto: Oh snap, that was a Marquee Half-Moon!
	2:11pm Scraps: I think the 45 of "Going Underground" was also given away with an American album. Polydor was trying very hard.
	2:11pm Stanley: Television. Nice.
	2:12pm doctorjazz: One of my favorite bands of the time (still put on a fine show
	2:12pm joe: @parq doesn't ring a bell but then again my bell has been rung a lot
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, just an edit.
	2:14pm joe: @parq pre accuplaylist?
	🛒 2:14pm Franco Twinkie: Top band for me too, Doc. Saw them alot.
	2:15pm Michael 98145: never tire of hearing them
	2:15pm Parq: Joe, way so. Like not long after the original came out. But it's worth a try.
	2:16pm Scraps: "Prove It" 45 was Elektra being really dumb. They put on a "PUNK ROCK!" on the 45, and it was an amateur job even... let's see if I can find it
	🛒 2:17pm Franco Twinkie: Saw them right after Adventure came out. They were razor sharp.
	2:18pm Jeff Golick: @Scraps: wow - www.discogs.com...
	2:19pm Scraps: there you go!
	2:20pm Michael 98145: erk. guess i'd forgotten that packaging.
	2:20pm Roberto: We now return you to our regularly scheduled Marquee Moon already in progress.
	2:21pm Parq: Joe, that did the trick! Thanks for reminding me that I had that option. www.youtube.com...
	2:21pm Scraps: not an exclamation point, but a fist!
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: part two is much longer...that's not a complaint
	2:22pm chresti: Can never get enough of marquee moon
	2:24pm doctorjazz: Big finish ..
	2:24pm thatpatsmith: my favorite guitar solo of all time
	🛒 2:25pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti and I saw them at The Great American Music Hall In San Francisco just before Richard Loyd quit for good. Jimmy Ripp is very good, but Tom and Richard had something telepathic going on for sure.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: Pat!
	2:25pm Michael 98145: transcendent
	2:25pm thatpatsmith: Unk!
	2:25pm chresti: Haha Roberto!
	2:27pm Roberto: Yeah that was eminently unsatisfying.
	2:27pm joe: Maybe they were trying to give you that wonderful 8 Track experience.
	2:28pm joe: Parq, Very cool
	🛒 2:28pm Franco Twinkie: How 'bout Little Johnny Jewel on Ork? Same damn thing!
	2:28pm listener james from westwood: Absolutely the same reaction, UM. I want to believe that whole part of the track saved some kids back in the day.
	2:30pm Rich in Washington: Singles Going Steady was the name of a great Portland OR record store. It was the first place I ever set foot on and saw genuine punk rock and new wave records as a kid. It was rather mindblowing.
	2:32pm Dean: I remember hearing I Got A Right at Greg Shaw's Bomp! Records in LA back in the day.
	2:33pm Roberto: Black Sea - another album I played repeatedly on cassette during my senior year!
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: God, I miss the Cold War.
	2:35pm joe: Stick around you may get a repeat :p
	2:36pm Roberto: Yes, we're due for replay 1998.
	🛒 2:36pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, Someday we can have our own 45 party at Evert and Jones on San Pablo. I'll bring one of my classroom record players AND my copy of I Got A Right....among other things.
	2:38pm chresti: I kind of lost track of the number of contributions I’ve made in the past couple weeks...
	2:38pm Dean: Haven't been to E&J in years, but you'll catch me now and then, kids in tow, at the bar at Lanesplitter. KC's BBQ moved closer to us, too. Haven't been there, yet.
	2:39pm Marie: Such a great show today UM. Thanks!
	2:39pm Dean: Me, too, chresti! Part of the problem is that if you don't take any swag, the email confirmation doesn't identify the show. I suppose I can figure out by time of day, since I tend to give during a show.
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Thank you!
	2:40pm chresti: I’m waiting for my pockets to jingle again
	🛒 2:40pm Franco Twinkie: I'm not a deadbeat! Chresti does all the card shit.
	🛒 2:42pm Franco Twinkie: ....and I give her money all the time.
	2:44pm Mark R: I love XTC--the earlier, the better!
	2:44pm Scraps: All singles by XTC are great, but "Ten Feet Tall" is godlike.
	2:44pm chresti: Yes Franco’s pockets figure in total pocket assets
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Mark!
	2:44pm Roberto: I could have used Sgt. Rock's help.
	2:44pm Jeff Golick: You know, I was thinking to myself that it can be hard to go from XTC to other music, such is their idiosyncratic sound. But you've figured out a nice work-around, @UM.
	🛒 2:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm here late and mad I missed so much great stuff!
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	2:45pm Parq: "Generals and Majors" and "Sgt. Rock" were released together on an EP, along with "Another Cuba", under the heading "The Army EP".
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, I have a certain savant genius.
	2:47pm Parq: Scraps, at 44 after the hour: you said it! XTC don't get enough love, IMO. Sure, we all love them, but really, they ought to be considered in the same realm as the Kinks.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: What Parq said.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: you should see my tie knot
	2:49pm Parq: That guitar break, though.
	2:49pm Jeff Golick: This has a good beat.
	2:50pm Scraps: God, Colin Moulding was for a few years awesome on singles. "Ten Feet Tall", "Life Begins at the Hop", "Making Plans for Nigel"... shakes head. Should be famous for that alone.
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: It's been neat to see the mutual admiration between Andy Partridge and R. Stevie Moore unfurl online, via an XTC cover the latter posted and the response from the former.
	2:54pm Parq: Scraps, remember "Stupidly Happy" from one of their later albums, "Wasp Star" I think?
	2:54pm Rich in Washington: I think I've said this more than once on this board, but the XTC/Partridge doc is worth watching.
	2:54pm holland oats: moulding and rsm recorded together didn't they?
	🛒 2:55pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Unc. Fortified, I can now go deal with my mother.
	🛒 2:56pm Brian in UK: Good work, Uncle. With a few exceptions all tracks '77-'82.
	2:58pm Scraps: My wife Velma [RIP, four years ago yesterday, sigh] "Life Begins at the Hop", me & Velma dancing in downtown Manhattan, laughing, so happy.... very good memory.
	2:58pm Parq: Here's a song that's more timely than ever.
	2:59pm Scraps: Parq, I remember all XTC! Just love XTC
	3:00pm Michael 98145: Rodney on the ROQ
	3:01pm Michael 98145: thanks, UM !!
	3:01pm Scraps: Thank you, Uncle Michael!
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thank you all so much!
	3:02pm dan: A great show of singles UM.
	3:03pm Parq: Literally a tear in my eye listening to this version of "Simpleton".
	3:03pm Stanley: Terrific show. Thanks Uncle
	🛒 3:03pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Hi Scraps! The Goodwill stores around here play music videos on TVs. Every time I go to the local one, they play Mayor of Simpleton, which makes me happy.
	3:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @UM!
	3:05pm Jeff Golick: (I imagine Elvis Costelllo hearing "Simpleton" for the first time and just shaking his head.)
	3:05pm joe: Thank you!!!!
	3:06pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a wonderful show, Uncle Michael!
	🛒 3:07pm Franco Twinkie: KROQ was down the street from my house. Got free Pistols promo records there.
	3:08pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM!!
	3:08pm Listening Out There: Enjoy Nashville. I was down there recently. Nice place...
	3:08pm joe: with Joe MCG
	4:09pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM! i had to abruptly continue my work day and though i'm quite okay to have completely missed your 3rd set!(no offense, as you know) i have no choice but to revisit for the 4th & 5th sets. -what an amazing playlist!
