	🛒 12:07pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Howdy from Sunnyvale CA!
	12:08pm Rich in Washington: Howdy, Uncle Michael!
	12:08pm Roberto: Would that be Waco in today's gif?
	12:09pm Rich in Washington: Didn't Koresh's ministry start in Kansas?
	12:09pm Webhamster Henry: Waco ... former hometown for some people.
	12:09pm Dean: Kevin Bacon?
	12:10pm still b/p: Will there be any pounds of Tork?

	12:12pm Listener Robert: Were the rest of you hearing what seemed to me to be tape bleedover near the end of the My Home Town?
	12:12pm still b/p: Yes.
	12:13pm jmd: Whatta great cover! Hey, UM!
	12:14pm david w: Uncle! Hey all!
	12:14pm Martinibomb: @Rich I just watched Head a couple weeks ago and my partner in crime did not enjoy it. lol Guess it's not for everyone
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Robert! jmd! david! Martin!
	12:15pm Dean: Heard it for a minute or so, Listener Robert.
	12:18pm chresti: I didn't notice on the desktop speakers
	🛒 12:18pm Franco Twinkie: Uncle Michael, I must take exception with the no guilty pleasure edict. I was listening to The Grateful Dead from 1971 at the Fillmore East, and Pigpens rap on Good Lovin/Lovelight bordered on embarrassing. Would not wash today for all sorts of reasons. But it was along time ago, and it was Pigpen, so I rolled up the widows in my truck and put aside my revisionist displeasure and kind of dug it.
	12:19pm chresti: I think I was steaming milk when My Hometown was playing
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Guilt sucks, Franco. Let your freak flag fly.
	12:21pm chresti: This goes with the flaming GIF
	12:22pm Stanley: What in the name of Satan is this?
	12:22pm Jeff Golick: What did Bobby Hutcherson ever do to this guy?
	12:23pm melinda: hi UM and all
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! melinda! Stanley!
	12:24pm melinda: My great aunt lived in Waco.
	12:25pm Alex In Illinois: Hello. working from home today.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	12:25pm northguineahills: You should do a set w/ bands w/ just the number "70" in the band title....
	12:26pm Roberto: Welp I guess it's my turn to be the chopped (vegan) liver.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: ROBERTO!
	12:28pm Roberto: Oh hey unc.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: hey.
	12:31pm Dominick: hey there, hi there, ho there!
	12:31pm Rich in Washington: @Martinibomb: That was my missus' reaction, as well. I think she was expecting an extended episode of the TV show. She was disabused of that notion within minutes of the opening <BLAM!>
	12:31pm doctorjazz: Hi ! LOVE THIS LINKS TUNE!!!
	12:31pm holland oats: ray my man
	12:32pm northguineahills: Dada, not to be confused w/ the 90s alt-rock band, who had the minor hit, Diskneeland….
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Doc! holland! I'd take the 20th century back.
	12:33pm wdd: dada triple word score
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: wdd! yes!
	12:40pm Dominick: Yes! Endless Boogie certainly burn the house down live.
	12:41pm melinda: umiliani bed music is always welcome
	12:42pm Alex In Illinois: I liked the Cornbread Red cover of Magic Carpet Ride too. Will look for that on Google Play
	12:42pm Rich in Washington: I just press really fine ground, rather concentrated espresso in a small french press.
	12:43pm Martinibomb: I'm all about the Bialetti Moka. I get the water hot first then pour it in so it brews fast and doesn't burn the coffee. Just my fave way.
	12:43pm ?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroPress
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	12:44pm Rich in Washington: I see those pots everywhere but have never owned one, had coffee in it. I am curious, though.
	🛒 12:44pm Franco Twinkie: Making espresso is a pain in the ass. I just make super charged drip coffee. No process ritual, but the effect is the same...zooom!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: No espresso machine users?
	12:45pm joe: 'ello folks
	12:45pm chresti: My son gave me his SAECO rio vapore machine-I have not mastered the espresso, but it's great for steaming milk. We use a chemex drip for the coffee
	12:46pm still b/p: Does Oakland have winter?
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: cuppa joe!
	12:46pm frenchee: oopsy, just posted this to Bryce's playlist.... I get very good results with a jar and a microwave for "steamed" milk. Shake that thing, then heat it in the evil radiation machine (after taking off the lid). Then pour espresso or just good strong coffee into it and top with the sprinkle of your choice.
	12:46pm Rich in Washington: I like any method of coffee making that doesn't involve a paper filter. I don't know why, but it seems to wreck it for me.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: frenchee! top tip
	12:47pm chresti: We have about 10 different stovetop steamers/espresso pots-gotta use distilled water for longer life
	🛒 12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Joe, I have never seen those paper cups with Greek statues any place except NYC. Why is that?
	12:47pm Michael 98145: old and slow, i sometimes hand-grind and use a French press ...
	12:48pm Dean: Chemex
	12:48pm frenchee: @Rich in WA: me too. I do have a reusable drip coffee filter (gold-coated metal) and I use a French(eeeeeee) press too
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Anthora cup: en.wikipedia.org...
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, Word!
	12:50pm johnk77: great show:> if u already have a k-cup machine: Gevalia Cappuccino Coffee K-Cups Pods with froth Packet
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: My cappuccino obsession is receiving scant support.
	12:50pm Rich in Washington: I once made a little vacuum coffee rig out of labware but it looked like a drug setup, according to my then-fiancee and it ended up getting broken, as it was awkward to store and set up and vice versa.
	12:50pm chresti: Chemex: it's the filter, my mom turned me on to Chemex in the 70s
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: john! I do have one but won't use disposables.
	12:51pm Rich in Washington: @frenchee: the gold filters are great! Used one for many years until my ancient and formerly trusty Braun died.
	12:52pm chresti: I don't like the taste that plastic filter holders impart
	🛒 12:52pm Franco Twinkie: Thank Michael, but that does't explain why no one uses that cup in Baltimore.
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: Now we haven't had a dedicated coffee machine of any kind for over a decade, just multiple sized french presses and an ibrik or two. I don't miss having a machine on our counter. I am sort of anti counter gadgets in general.
	12:53pm Dean: Chemex has two filters: white (bleached, perhaps?) and "natural." For years I have used "natural," but had to change to white recently. Haven't noticed a difference in flavor, but maybe I'm being poisoned slowly, drip, drip, drip...
	12:53pm chresti: Vacuum is supposed to be the ultimate way to extract coffee, I was always afraid I'd make it explode
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: hi Uncle M and dinkling
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: s
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	12:54pm Rich in Washington: We tried using one of those hemp fabric filters with our machine but it got gross, was hard to wash well and developed a taste that was distracting.
	🛒 12:55pm Franco Twinkie: Is there still a Chock Full 'O Nuts coffee bar in mid town Manhattan?
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: @chresti: That's what I want to do. I love the look of those setups, too. Now that our kids are grown, I feel like I can have things which are delicate and made of glass.
	12:55pm melinda: This is nice and mellow, for a group called the Stranglers.
	12:56pm βrian: Coffee? Yes, please.
	12:56pm chresti: I think the white filter is bleached with something other than chlorine bleach (peroxide?)
	12:57pm Dominick: Bialetti here
	🛒 12:57pm Franco Twinkie: Dean please make the extra effort to use the brown filters. Dioxin is no joke. They always have the brown at Pete's.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Never a frown with golden brown, melinda.
	12:58pm melinda: @Rich yeah, I repurposed my cotton cone filter as a cover for fermenting kefir. Upside down, it looks like the jar is wearing a pointy hat.
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: I keep looking at this delicate Yama vacuum type pot and wanting it, but thinking 'it'll end in tears", especially since we have unforgiving tile counters.
	12:59pm Rich in Washington: @melinda: HA! That's exactly the fate of ours, right after our coffee machine died. Our housemates used it for exactly that.
	12:59pm still b/p: My Hinky Dinky take-away today is a take-away cup. There's something I love about the Anthora cup's NY backstory and association. And for a long time after first reading about it years ago I couldn't damn remember what that particular cup was called! Thank you. Thank you. And I don't drink coffee.
	12:59pm Michael 98145: thinkin about the milk .... and the honey
	12:59pm chresti: The artist George Hermes, made collages with used round chemex filters
	1:00pm coelacanth∅: damn, now i want coffee.
	1:01pm Dean: Don't get me started, Franco. Peet's has declined in quality precipitously since the acquisition by some Acme-whatever investment company. They now compete directly with Starbuck's. I recently visited only to buy the natural Chemex filters, which they do carry. However, it rang in at a higher price than the sticker, so I protested. They wouldn't give it to me for the lower price. I complained to HQ. They replied and asked for my address to ship a free box of natural filters. Since then, nothing. Had to buy from a coffee roaster in town that only carries the bleached ones.
	1:01pm chresti: I am not fond of cleaning espresso machines, is why I don't make espresso at home
	1:02pm melinda: I have an espresso machine I haven't used in years, it doesn't work now and I'm not sure what to do with it. I use a ceramic pour-over device now, with unbleached filters. I've held onto my french press and stove-top espresso pot because I like to imagine that if I ever have a bunch of house guests at once I'll be prepared to accommodate different tastes.
	1:02pm joe: Somebody needs to get Jeff Moore in on this coffee conversation
	1:03pm rw: Something about that milk and honey song. Maybe it was the horns.
	1:03pm βrian: I recently bought some Major Dickason's whole beans which were great. But the coffee they serve at the counter — yeech!
	1:03pm chresti: My mother used diapers for filtering coffee, in the 50s-early 60s
	1:03pm melinda: Anyone tried kopi luwak?
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: haha! (Erma Coffee)
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	1:05pm βrian: I have a stainless stovetop espresso maker that I use from time to time, especially for camping.
	1:06pm chresti: Give me some Java Jive!
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: i'm beat. maybe i'll try the coffee they sell at the speedway station next door. been here >2.5 years and haven't been tempted before.
	1:07pm Michael 98145: excellent selection, UM :)
	1:07pm Jeff Moore: Somebody brought in some of the civet-poo coffee. Despite moral reservations about people factory-shoveling coffee beans through those poor critters, I tried it since it was already gifted... it seemed smooth, which I guess is maybe supposed to be the point, but it didn't particularly grab me.
	1:07pm βrian: @melinda: Our cat is too picky to choke 'em down.
	1:09pm Michael 98145: EC - recorded in Memphis
	1:09pm chresti: ...by the Ink Spots
	1:09pm joe: @franco Twinkie I'm sorry I totally missed your question back there. This is a really good article on it as well. I would also venture to say it has something with the abundance of Greek owned Diners, Delis and coffee shops in the NJ/NY area. www.6sqft.com...
	1:09pm glenn: peter green is the guitarist on a hard road.
	1:10pm glenn: on which he kills the stumble.
	🛒 1:10pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, back in pre-historic times, Chresti and myself were having dinner with my parents at a restaurant in Pasadena. Chresti asked the waitress if they had Peet's coffee. The snarky waitrees asked why did it matter and Chresti said I am Mrs. Peet. The waitress was embarrassed and my parents were very amused.
	1:13pm joe: You see this is were coming in late and missing the first hour of the show puts me at a disadvantage. I actually have been using a pretty low cost MR Coffee espresso machine for about a month now.
	1:13pm glenn: one of my coffee making devices. www.alessi.com...
	1:13pm Webhamster Henry: I don't drink coffee - the closest I get is coffee ice cream. It's just too easy to get a bad cup and say to myself, why did I want that? The same goes for alcohol.
	1:14pm Dean: Can't beat that, Franco. I once told a server at a prime rib restaurant that I'm vegetarian. It earned a double-take. I have a Bialetti, but I never use it.
	1:14pm coelacanth∅: Franco, that's funny! but...did they?...is she? ...what's Peet's coffee?
	1:14pm joe: This was to offset the wife's purchasing of cappuccino and cappuccino like drinks from the overpriced chain coffee shop
	1:15pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Joining the coffee census, I use a French press on weekdays before work, and a Chemex on weekends (when I have time to time the pour). I think I actually have some old espresso machine my mom found at a yard sale, but I have no idea if it works, or how to use it if it does.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: Ah Surface Noise. Milky drinks are for old people even if there is nominal coffee therein.
	🛒 1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Melinda, the roaster down the street stocks Kopi Luwak and it is very expensive. When I asked about it, Jimmy, the Vietnamese owner scrunched up his face and asked me if I liked poo poo.
	1:15pm Jeff Moore: Umm... on the question of bleached versus those brown "natural" paper filters: I thought I should like the brown filters, but they smell a lot more like a paper mill when you hit them with boiling water than the Peet's bleached ones. Of course, good technique is to hit them with some boiling water, discard that water, then add ground coffee... but still, something which starts out with more off flavors seems worse than something which starts out with fewer. And as the name implies: the implication is that the Peet's bleached filters use oxygen (do they use hydrogen peroxide in the process maybe?) as the oxidant rather than chlorine. Aren't dioxins a byproduct of processes involving chlorine?
	1:15pm βrian: @joe: I read that as Magnetic Resonance Coffee machine, at first. "Whoo-wee. That's fancy!"
	1:15pm chresti: My son -made good espresso with the SAECO machine, it's a less expensive machine with a pump as opposed to a boiler
	1:15pm Rich in Washington: making Turkish coffee in an ibrik/Cezve is fun, somewhat challenging and patience testing. I haven't done it for a while. It used to attract looky loos when I'd do it at work. Plus, it's hard to find my favorite fine grind brand Edna's.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: glenn! Oscar! Jeff!
	1:16pm chresti: Starbucks sold a re-branded version of the SAECO-it's entry level pump machine
	🛒 1:17pm Brian in UK: @Rich it is a palaver but worth it. If you want good coffee go to Vienna.
	1:18pm still b/p: Gotta be careful and read or ask about it when ordering craft stout these days -- some be tasting wayyyy too much like the coffee. No, no, no.
	1:18pm chresti: We have a Bialetti too
	1:18pm Stanley: The last time I was in America the coffee I drank was awful. Admittedly that was a long time ago. I hope you've got your act together now.
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: hydrogen peroxide wont hurt you. might even help you. thanks Jeff. just curious.
	1:18pm Dean: Fellow I know who knows the inventor recommended AeroPress. Haven't tried it. Mostly, I'm very happy with my own coffee.
	1:18pm The Oscar: Also one of my great pleasures in life is my bi-weekly trip to the old-timey bulk coffee store in Boston's North End. Most of their equipment is from the '30s, and they know my name and regular order (one pound Copenhagen roast, whole bean). In the summer they have a big steel drum of Italian Ice for a dollar a cup. It's lovely.
	🛒 1:18pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Peet's started in Berkeley with one store, now they're everywhere.
	1:19pm joe: @brian LOL this is actually an amusing coincidence because the majority of my day job is MRI associated :)
	1:19pm Dean: Sounds like Boston appreciates places where everybody knows your name.
	1:20pm chresti: Oxygen-that's it @Brian
	1:20pm Michael 98145: Get yerself invited to an Ethiopian home. Their coffee ritual is doubleplus wonderful.
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: i only drink tea at home and don't think about coffee - unless i'm tortured by a conversation about coffee. then i might head downtown to run errands, and get a "very short" americano with 1/2=1/2 in it.
	1:22pm Michael 98145: { oh, i love this song :) }
	1:22pm joe: @Uncle Michael I assume you were looking for espresso machine recommendations. Like I said it is a low cost one I wouldn't say the absolute highest quality in craftsmanship but I would assume your objective is not to drink cappuccino all through out the day on a regular bases. It has done right be me for the last month. Sorry this is a Target link but I know it's available else wear. www.target.com...
	1:23pm still b/p: Eeyore + Lazy Bones + "Manana."
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: i like it, but i like the other version better...Ed Brennen?
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: Uncle, get a Moka, it does the job.
	1:23pm Webhamster Henry: @Brian .. basically, when I came back from Vienna, (40 years ago) where I had cafe au lait every day practically, I felt there was no coffee here. Like coelacanthø, I'm a tea drinker or just hot water, which I call an Ellington, which is what the Duke drank.
	1:23pm chresti: @Michael-we went to an Ethiopian place that did that, with resin burning and all, fantastic!
	1:26pm chresti: @joe-that one looks like the boiler variety
	1:26pm chresti: Which means there's less pressure
	1:27pm Michael 98145: yes. i tend to just drink hot water, too ...
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: a chinese herbalist i once visited suggested i drink hot water. but i rarely do.
	1:29pm joe: @chresti sorry I don't know what that mean.
	1:29pm chresti: www.target.com...
	🛒 1:29pm Franco Twinkie: One night my dad and uncle were at their moms house. My uncle asked my grandma where she kept the coffee, she told him and he made coffee for himself and my dad. Pouring himself the first cup, He made a weird face when he tasted, but continued to drink it. Finally he said "Mom where did you get that coffee?" She was blind and had filled a coffee can with chili powder.
	🛒 1:30pm Brian in UK: Hot water with a slice of lemon to start the day. My real gripe is that when you buy hot chocolate in a shop it is NOT hot. So I only make it at home.
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: ha! coulda been worse!
	1:31pm still b/p: Loving this shellac track stack.
	1:33pm chresti: @joe-with a boiler, the pressure builds with boiling water-the pump (the more bars the more power in the pressure) commercial espresso machines are pump
	1:33pm Michael 98145: hot water is sort of naturopath coffee ...
	1:35pm melinda: @Franco that's hilarious...poo poo coffee @Jeff I hadn't thought about the maltreatment of civets but's that a good reason not to buy it.
	1:35pm chresti: I drink about 3 cups a day, (2 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon) tea the rest of the time
	1:35pm joe: @chresti got it thank you
	1:38pm chresti: I started putting milk in coffee after staying in France for a few months. The coffee was very strong there
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: Brian (in UK) that's excellent for the liver, even if it's not hot. (just not cold)
	1:39pm joe: Hooray For What!
	1:39pm Dean: Jamaica: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_(musical)
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: UM i was listening to Blossom Dearie, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.
	1:40pm chresti: I like chocolate in coffee, it's too sweet at most cafes
	1:40pm glenn: apparently, napoleon is from hooray for what.
	1:40pm frenchee: @dean, go! Looks like Lena Horne was in it. I sometimes can be counted on to know some stuff about Bway musicals
	1:41pm glenn: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:41pm frenchee: JAMAICA, @Glenn
	1:41pm Dean: Wouldn't mind hearing her sing it, assuming it was her role's.
	1:41pm Roberto: Rocks Off! I used to sing this in my college band.
	1:42pm still b/p: Ricardo Montalban, Ossie Davis in Jamaica, too. A few Tonys picked up.
	1:43pm glenn: i know next to nothing about broadway musicals, so i'm just going with what the google machine tells me.
	1:43pm still b/p: Actually, some nominations...maybe no wins.
	1:44pm frenchee: Jamaica is a musical with a book by Yip Harburg and Fred Saidy, lyrics by Harburg, and music by Harold Arlen. It is set on a small island off the coast of Jamaica, and tells about a simple island community fighting to avoid being overrun by American commercialism. Arlen's music parodies the popular form of Calypso, which was in vogue in the 1950s, largely as a result of the popularity of Harry Belafonte, for whom the musical was originally written. Belafonte withdrew from the production due to illness, and the musical was then tailored around the talents of Lena Horne.[1] Harburg was blacklisted in Hollywood at the time of the writing of the musical,[1] and the satire is unusually pointed. With Calypso so out of fashion the musical now is dated, but many of the issues raised in its songs, including evolution, nuclear energy, and consumerism, remain topical today. --from Wikipedia
	1:44pm frenchee: psssst, nobody tell Irwin calypso is out of style.....
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: i used to make hot chocolate with almond milk, cocoa powder and honey. i could make it very strong and not overly sweet and it was delicious. (sometimes adding a drop of cognac, whiskey, or sambuca, ameretto....) but the cocoa i bought recently is disappointing.
	1:45pm The Oscar: The first summer I lived away from home, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to crack the parallels between Exile on Main Street and Exile in Guyville. I never quite succeeded, but both albums instantly bring me back to those few months.
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: going through the whole album?
	🛒 1:46pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyDinkyers. Saw the Feelies at Celebrate Brooklyn several years ago. They encored with this "Rocks Off. Gureaaaat!
	1:46pm Roberto: Didn't Liz Phair already do this?
	🛒 1:46pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I saw the Rolling Stones in 72 on their Exile on Main Street tour. Somehow never listened to Exile in Guyville.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: exile in guyville is great! -doesn't have much to do with main st. though.
	1:49pm chresti: @coel-yum!
	1:49pm Roberto: Hmm...well Exile was my favorite album for a few years in the late '80s/early '90s, so no complaints.
	1:50pm The Oscar: What @coelacanth said! The silly part was this was well after Liz admitted the "response record" thing was mostly bunk, but I wanted to believe!
	1:51pm chresti: I have yet to find a satisfactory cocoa/cacao/chocolate. The powder I have is stale tasting.
	1:51pm glenn: jackie shane died today. www.cbc.ca...
	1:52pm glenn: try abuelita. good mexican hot chocolate.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: sad news about Jackie
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: chresti i got "now" brand organic cocoa. i like many of their products but it just seems very...tame?
	1:54pm johnk77: tommy castro has a pro live band and a bus
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: so far i like the originals better, but this one's some competition.
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: ...rest in peace Jackie Shane.
	1:56pm The Oscar: Just realizing now that I've never known a single word of this song outside the chorus.
	1:58pm coelacanth∅: didn't the radio beat Linda Rondstat's version into your head?
	2:02pm Dean: Sounds like he's singing "shed."
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: very small shed
	2:04pm Dean: As compared to a bull shed
	🛒 2:04pm Franco Twinkie: My mom's name is Virginia and she is really loosing her marbles. She is driving me and my sister nuts on a daily basis, So this song is,well, our song now!
	2:06pm Roberto: Franco, have you suggested she scrape that shit right off her shoes?
	🛒 2:07pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah, Roberto, in more ways than one!
	2:07pm Roberto: Well I'm out of ideas.
	2:08pm Dean: Even I don't like Linda's take.
	2:10pm still b/p: Oh, Linda. Afraid I never cared for much of Linda's more popular output. Never.
	2:11pm chresti: The Wailing Souls are coming to LA in March.
	2:17pm Roberto: Funny thing is I'm making out a lot of these lyrics for the first time. Back when I listened to Exile nonstop, I didn't have a lyric sheet and we didn't have no fancy internets to tell us stuff.
	2:19pm david w: Fabulous show. Gotta run. Thanks!
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: take care, david
	2:20pm johnk77: nils lofgren was great live in the seventies
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: I can imagine,John.
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: what the Fuck was that Fucking noise?!
	2:23pm The Oscar: Was wondering when we'd hit PG!
	2:25pm johnk77: also trampoline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su959eEFnnA
	2:28pm Dean: Imagine WFMU totally plugged in to this web thing. The screen would be covered with ads for coffee makers, ventilator, and a message from the Waco Visitors Bureau.
	2:30pm Michael 98145: ... and the My Pillow guy.
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	2:31pm Dean: Larry McCray was the other vocalist.
	2:31pm The Oscar: Maybe they were all being sarcastic?
	🛒 2:32pm Franco Twinkie: Not to mention stretchy underwear suits for plus size gals.
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: well, all my favorites from exile are played already, but i'm hoping one of these covers blows the original out of the water.
	2:36pm Dean: Looks like there's a solo piano cover of "Turd...," among others from EoMS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/solo-piano-rolling-stones-exile-on-main-st-feat-eric-carlton/1232315555
	2:38pm coelacanth∅: this is better than the original.
	2:40pm johnk77: gate was a cool guy put on a great show lucky to have done sound for him:>
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: maybe shoulda played pussy galore's version of this too!
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Voodoo Lounge is a German RS cover band.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: maybe!
	2:42pm Roberto: This version of Let it Loose is causing me to wax wistful.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: for the original?
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: i was hoping it was a "black" guy, so i could say it's a black guy mimicking a white guy mimicking black guys.
	2:43pm Roberto: Ha no, just in general. My point is it's soulful.
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: so, Uncle M, if you're not doing a Peter Tork tribute, maybe your next album tribute could be "more of the monkees"
	2:46pm Michael 98145: Have to confess, i preferred the Stones and Dave Clark Five to the Beatles, when that was even a question ...
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Coel, I opened the show with a Peter Tork song.
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: (then again, it's hard to imagine anyone's had the lack of discretion enough to cover "on the day we fall in love")
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: ah, i see now. i quickly scrolled away from the mass homicide scene.
	2:48pm still b/p: More of the Monkees. Nesmith: "probably the worst album in the history of the world".
	2:48pm Michael 98145: ah . this -
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: ...and...THIS ISN'T A COVER!
	2:49pm chresti: If only I could stop breaking down
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Ummm....aaaaand....
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: Nesmith's a kook! there are great songs on that album!
	2:50pm chresti: I think I like that most@Dean
	🛒 2:50pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Michael, this set has given me the courage to get dressed, go outside and take on the world.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: That's why I do this, Franco.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: good version
	2:52pm Dean: Nicky Hopkins, Jim Price with Jennifer
	2:52pm still b/p: What makes the muskrat guard his musk?
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: - oh, i thought you did it so i'd NEVER get out of the house!
	2:53pm Michael 98145: thanks again, UM
	2:53pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael- haha coel@2:48
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: a) courage
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Also for that reason, Coel.
	2:54pm joe: @Uncle Michael what about Remain in Light or Speaking In Tongues. I know there is some interesting stuff of those out there just not sure if you can cover all.
	2:55pm chresti: Thanks UM for giving me the courage to have an extra cup of coffee.
	2:55pm Roberto: lol...wrong Soul Survivor, I think.
	2:56pm Roberto: And we were doing so well, too.
	2:56pm joe: Got my running shoes on.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: haha! it was pretty horrible!
	2:57pm chresti: www.google.com...
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: the infallible Robert Johnson. (well, except for the dying at 27 thing maybe)
	2:59pm chresti: @UM (my espresso maker)
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM! great program ...and i told my sister about it, but she took it as a warning - because it was coming from me.
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: bye, my friends
	2:48am pacific standard simon: I made a wonderful CD of covers of Highway 61 Revisited, including 3 bonus tracks of songs that were recorded at the same time but not included. The only problem I had was with "Tombstone Blues", which I solved by going to the Richie Havens version on that stupid movie soundtrack. Good cover.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 22, 2019

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!
	12:03pm βrian: A balmy 47° in Waco today.
	12:05pm chresti: Howdy Dinks, from SGV.
	12:05pm efd: GUESS WHO'S WORKING FROM HOME TODAY!
	12:06pm chresti: You're on fire already.
	🛒 12:07pm Brian in UK: Uncle.
	🛒 12:07pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Howdy from Sunnyvale CA!
	12:08pm Rich in Washington: Howdy, Uncle Michael!
	12:08pm Roberto: Would that be Waco in today's gif?
	12:09pm Rich in Washington: Didn't Koresh's ministry start in Kansas?
	12:09pm Webhamster Henry: Waco ... former hometown for some people.
	12:09pm Dean: Kevin Bacon?
	12:10pm still b/p: Will there be any pounds of Tork?
	12:10pm still b/p: ...more pounds, that is.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Brian! chresti! EFD! BiUK! Lizzie! Rich! Henry! Dean! still b/p!
	12:11pm Kevin: Dean, no thanks.
	12:11pm Rich in Washington: I think I am due to rewatch Head again this weekend.
	12:11pm Martinibomb: whoa this cover of magic carpet ride is awesome
	12:12pm Listener Robert: Were the rest of you hearing what seemed to me to be tape bleedover near the end of the My Home Town?
	12:12pm still b/p: Yes.
	12:13pm jmd: Whatta great cover! Hey, UM!
	12:14pm david w: Uncle! Hey all!
	12:14pm Martinibomb: @Rich I just watched Head a couple weeks ago and my partner in crime did not enjoy it. lol Guess it's not for everyone
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: Robert! jmd! david! Martin!
	12:15pm Dean: Heard it for a minute or so, Listener Robert.
	12:18pm chresti: I didn't notice on the desktop speakers
	🛒 12:18pm Franco Twinkie: Uncle Michael, I must take exception with the no guilty pleasure edict. I was listening to The Grateful Dead from 1971 at the Fillmore East, and Pigpens rap on Good Lovin/Lovelight bordered on embarrassing. Would not wash today for all sorts of reasons. But it was along time ago, and it was Pigpen, so I rolled up the widows in my truck and put aside my revisionist displeasure and kind of dug it.
	12:19pm chresti: I think I was steaming milk when My Hometown was playing
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Guilt sucks, Franco. Let your freak flag fly.
	12:21pm chresti: This goes with the flaming GIF
	12:22pm Stanley: What in the name of Satan is this?
	12:22pm Jeff Golick: What did Bobby Hutcherson ever do to this guy?
	12:23pm melinda: hi UM and all
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! melinda! Stanley!
	12:24pm melinda: My great aunt lived in Waco.
	12:25pm Alex In Illinois: Hello. working from home today.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Alex!
	12:25pm northguineahills: You should do a set w/ bands w/ just the number "70" in the band title....
	12:26pm Roberto: Welp I guess it's my turn to be the chopped (vegan) liver.
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: ROBERTO!
	12:28pm Roberto: Oh hey unc.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: hey.
	12:31pm Dominick: hey there, hi there, ho there!
	12:31pm Rich in Washington: @Martinibomb: That was my missus' reaction, as well. I think she was expecting an extended episode of the TV show. She was disabused of that notion within minutes of the opening <BLAM!>
	12:31pm doctorjazz: Hi ! LOVE THIS LINKS TUNE!!!
	12:31pm holland oats: ray my man
	12:32pm northguineahills: Dada, not to be confused w/ the 90s alt-rock band, who had the minor hit, Diskneeland….
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Doc! holland! I'd take the 20th century back.
	12:33pm wdd: dada triple word score
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: wdd! yes!
	12:40pm Dominick: Yes! Endless Boogie certainly burn the house down live.
	12:41pm melinda: umiliani bed music is always welcome
	12:42pm Alex In Illinois: I liked the Cornbread Red cover of Magic Carpet Ride too. Will look for that on Google Play
	12:42pm Rich in Washington: I just press really fine ground, rather concentrated espresso in a small french press.
	12:43pm Martinibomb: I'm all about the Bialetti Moka. I get the water hot first then pour it in so it brews fast and doesn't burn the coffee. Just my fave way.
	12:43pm ?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AeroPress
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Dominick!
	12:44pm Rich in Washington: I see those pots everywhere but have never owned one, had coffee in it. I am curious, though.
	🛒 12:44pm Franco Twinkie: Making espresso is a pain in the ass. I just make super charged drip coffee. No process ritual, but the effect is the same...zooom!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: No espresso machine users?
	12:45pm joe: 'ello folks
	12:45pm chresti: My son gave me his SAECO rio vapore machine-I have not mastered the espresso, but it's great for steaming milk. We use a chemex drip for the coffee
	12:46pm still b/p: Does Oakland have winter?
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: cuppa joe!
	12:46pm frenchee: oopsy, just posted this to Bryce's playlist.... I get very good results with a jar and a microwave for "steamed" milk. Shake that thing, then heat it in the evil radiation machine (after taking off the lid). Then pour espresso or just good strong coffee into it and top with the sprinkle of your choice.
	12:46pm Rich in Washington: I like any method of coffee making that doesn't involve a paper filter. I don't know why, but it seems to wreck it for me.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: frenchee! top tip
	12:47pm chresti: We have about 10 different stovetop steamers/espresso pots-gotta use distilled water for longer life
	🛒 12:47pm Franco Twinkie: Joe, I have never seen those paper cups with Greek statues any place except NYC. Why is that?
	12:47pm Michael 98145: old and slow, i sometimes hand-grind and use a French press ...
	12:48pm Dean: Chemex
	12:48pm frenchee: @Rich in WA: me too. I do have a reusable drip coffee filter (gold-coated metal) and I use a French(eeeeeee) press too
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Anthora cup: en.wikipedia.org...
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, Word!
	12:50pm johnk77: great show:> if u already have a k-cup machine: Gevalia Cappuccino Coffee K-Cups Pods with froth Packet
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: My cappuccino obsession is receiving scant support.
	12:50pm Rich in Washington: I once made a little vacuum coffee rig out of labware but it looked like a drug setup, according to my then-fiancee and it ended up getting broken, as it was awkward to store and set up and vice versa.
	12:50pm chresti: Chemex: it's the filter, my mom turned me on to Chemex in the 70s
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: john! I do have one but won't use disposables.
	12:51pm Rich in Washington: @frenchee: the gold filters are great! Used one for many years until my ancient and formerly trusty Braun died.
	12:52pm chresti: I don't like the taste that plastic filter holders impart
	🛒 12:52pm Franco Twinkie: Thank Michael, but that does't explain why no one uses that cup in Baltimore.
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: Now we haven't had a dedicated coffee machine of any kind for over a decade, just multiple sized french presses and an ibrik or two. I don't miss having a machine on our counter. I am sort of anti counter gadgets in general.
	12:53pm Dean: Chemex has two filters: white (bleached, perhaps?) and "natural." For years I have used "natural," but had to change to white recently. Haven't noticed a difference in flavor, but maybe I'm being poisoned slowly, drip, drip, drip...
	12:53pm chresti: Vacuum is supposed to be the ultimate way to extract coffee, I was always afraid I'd make it explode
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: hi Uncle M and dinkling
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: s
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	12:54pm Rich in Washington: We tried using one of those hemp fabric filters with our machine but it got gross, was hard to wash well and developed a taste that was distracting.
	🛒 12:55pm Franco Twinkie: Is there still a Chock Full 'O Nuts coffee bar in mid town Manhattan?
	12:55pm Rich in Washington: @chresti: That's what I want to do. I love the look of those setups, too. Now that our kids are grown, I feel like I can have things which are delicate and made of glass.
	12:55pm melinda: This is nice and mellow, for a group called the Stranglers.
	12:56pm βrian: Coffee? Yes, please.
	12:56pm chresti: I think the white filter is bleached with something other than chlorine bleach (peroxide?)
	12:57pm Dominick: Bialetti here
	🛒 12:57pm Franco Twinkie: Dean please make the extra effort to use the brown filters. Dioxin is no joke. They always have the brown at Pete's.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Never a frown with golden brown, melinda.
	12:58pm melinda: @Rich yeah, I repurposed my cotton cone filter as a cover for fermenting kefir. Upside down, it looks like the jar is wearing a pointy hat.
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: I keep looking at this delicate Yama vacuum type pot and wanting it, but thinking 'it'll end in tears", especially since we have unforgiving tile counters.
	12:59pm Rich in Washington: @melinda: HA! That's exactly the fate of ours, right after our coffee machine died. Our housemates used it for exactly that.
	12:59pm still b/p: My Hinky Dinky take-away today is a take-away cup. There's something I love about the Anthora cup's NY backstory and association. And for a long time after first reading about it years ago I couldn't damn remember what that particular cup was called! Thank you. Thank you. And I don't drink coffee.
	12:59pm Michael 98145: thinkin about the milk .... and the honey
	12:59pm chresti: The artist George Hermes, made collages with used round chemex filters
	1:00pm coelacanth∅: damn, now i want coffee.
	1:01pm Dean: Don't get me started, Franco. Peet's has declined in quality precipitously since the acquisition by some Acme-whatever investment company. They now compete directly with Starbuck's. I recently visited only to buy the natural Chemex filters, which they do carry. However, it rang in at a higher price than the sticker, so I protested. They wouldn't give it to me for the lower price. I complained to HQ. They replied and asked for my address to ship a free box of natural filters. Since then, nothing. Had to buy from a coffee roaster in town that only carries the bleached ones.
	1:01pm chresti: I am not fond of cleaning espresso machines, is why I don't make espresso at home
	1:02pm melinda: I have an espresso machine I haven't used in years, it doesn't work now and I'm not sure what to do with it. I use a ceramic pour-over device now, with unbleached filters. I've held onto my french press and stove-top espresso pot because I like to imagine that if I ever have a bunch of house guests at once I'll be prepared to accommodate different tastes.
	1:02pm joe: Somebody needs to get Jeff Moore in on this coffee conversation
	1:03pm rw: Something about that milk and honey song. Maybe it was the horns.
	1:03pm βrian: I recently bought some Major Dickason's whole beans which were great. But the coffee they serve at the counter — yeech!
	1:03pm chresti: My mother used diapers for filtering coffee, in the 50s-early 60s
	1:03pm melinda: Anyone tried kopi luwak?
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: haha! (Erma Coffee)
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: rw!
	1:05pm βrian: I have a stainless stovetop espresso maker that I use from time to time, especially for camping.
	1:06pm chresti: Give me some Java Jive!
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: i'm beat. maybe i'll try the coffee they sell at the speedway station next door. been here >2.5 years and haven't been tempted before.
	1:07pm Michael 98145: excellent selection, UM :)
	1:07pm Jeff Moore: Somebody brought in some of the civet-poo coffee. Despite moral reservations about people factory-shoveling coffee beans through those poor critters, I tried it since it was already gifted... it seemed smooth, which I guess is maybe supposed to be the point, but it didn't particularly grab me.
	1:07pm βrian: @melinda: Our cat is too picky to choke 'em down.
	1:09pm Michael 98145: EC - recorded in Memphis
	1:09pm chresti: ...by the Ink Spots
	1:09pm joe: @franco Twinkie I'm sorry I totally missed your question back there. This is a really good article on it as well. I would also venture to say it has something with the abundance of Greek owned Diners, Delis and coffee shops in the NJ/NY area. www.6sqft.com...
	1:09pm glenn: peter green is the guitarist on a hard road.
	1:10pm glenn: on which he kills the stumble.
	🛒 1:10pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, back in pre-historic times, Chresti and myself were having dinner with my parents at a restaurant in Pasadena. Chresti asked the waitress if they had Peet's coffee. The snarky waitrees asked why did it matter and Chresti said I am Mrs. Peet. The waitress was embarrassed and my parents were very amused.
	1:13pm joe: You see this is were coming in late and missing the first hour of the show puts me at a disadvantage. I actually have been using a pretty low cost MR Coffee espresso machine for about a month now.
	1:13pm glenn: one of my coffee making devices. www.alessi.com...
	1:13pm Webhamster Henry: I don't drink coffee - the closest I get is coffee ice cream. It's just too easy to get a bad cup and say to myself, why did I want that? The same goes for alcohol.
	1:14pm Dean: Can't beat that, Franco. I once told a server at a prime rib restaurant that I'm vegetarian. It earned a double-take. I have a Bialetti, but I never use it.
	1:14pm coelacanth∅: Franco, that's funny! but...did they?...is she? ...what's Peet's coffee?
	1:14pm joe: This was to offset the wife's purchasing of cappuccino and cappuccino like drinks from the overpriced chain coffee shop
	1:15pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Joining the coffee census, I use a French press on weekdays before work, and a Chemex on weekends (when I have time to time the pour). I think I actually have some old espresso machine my mom found at a yard sale, but I have no idea if it works, or how to use it if it does.
	🛒 1:15pm Brian in UK: Ah Surface Noise. Milky drinks are for old people even if there is nominal coffee therein.
	🛒 1:15pm Franco Twinkie: Melinda, the roaster down the street stocks Kopi Luwak and it is very expensive. When I asked about it, Jimmy, the Vietnamese owner scrunched up his face and asked me if I liked poo poo.
	1:15pm Jeff Moore: Umm... on the question of bleached versus those brown "natural" paper filters: I thought I should like the brown filters, but they smell a lot more like a paper mill when you hit them with boiling water than the Peet's bleached ones. Of course, good technique is to hit them with some boiling water, discard that water, then add ground coffee... but still, something which starts out with more off flavors seems worse than something which starts out with fewer. And as the name implies: the implication is that the Peet's bleached filters use oxygen (do they use hydrogen peroxide in the process maybe?) as the oxidant rather than chlorine. Aren't dioxins a byproduct of processes involving chlorine?
	1:15pm βrian: @joe: I read that as Magnetic Resonance Coffee machine, at first. "Whoo-wee. That's fancy!"
	1:15pm chresti: My son -made good espresso with the SAECO machine, it's a less expensive machine with a pump as opposed to a boiler
	1:15pm Rich in Washington: making Turkish coffee in an ibrik/Cezve is fun, somewhat challenging and patience testing. I haven't done it for a while. It used to attract looky loos when I'd do it at work. Plus, it's hard to find my favorite fine grind brand Edna's.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: glenn! Oscar! Jeff!
	1:16pm chresti: Starbucks sold a re-branded version of the SAECO-it's entry level pump machine
	🛒 1:17pm Brian in UK: @Rich it is a palaver but worth it. If you want good coffee go to Vienna.
	1:18pm still b/p: Gotta be careful and read or ask about it when ordering craft stout these days -- some be tasting wayyyy too much like the coffee. No, no, no.
	1:18pm chresti: We have a Bialetti too
	1:18pm Stanley: The last time I was in America the coffee I drank was awful. Admittedly that was a long time ago. I hope you've got your act together now.
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: hydrogen peroxide wont hurt you. might even help you. thanks Jeff. just curious.
	1:18pm Dean: Fellow I know who knows the inventor recommended AeroPress. Haven't tried it. Mostly, I'm very happy with my own coffee.
	1:18pm The Oscar: Also one of my great pleasures in life is my bi-weekly trip to the old-timey bulk coffee store in Boston's North End. Most of their equipment is from the '30s, and they know my name and regular order (one pound Copenhagen roast, whole bean). In the summer they have a big steel drum of Italian Ice for a dollar a cup. It's lovely.
	🛒 1:18pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Peet's started in Berkeley with one store, now they're everywhere.
	1:19pm joe: @brian LOL this is actually an amusing coincidence because the majority of my day job is MRI associated :)
	1:19pm Dean: Sounds like Boston appreciates places where everybody knows your name.
	1:20pm chresti: Oxygen-that's it @Brian
	1:20pm Michael 98145: Get yerself invited to an Ethiopian home. Their coffee ritual is doubleplus wonderful.
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: i only drink tea at home and don't think about coffee - unless i'm tortured by a conversation about coffee. then i might head downtown to run errands, and get a "very short" americano with 1/2=1/2 in it.
	1:22pm Michael 98145: { oh, i love this song :) }
	1:22pm joe: @Uncle Michael I assume you were looking for espresso machine recommendations. Like I said it is a low cost one I wouldn't say the absolute highest quality in craftsmanship but I would assume your objective is not to drink cappuccino all through out the day on a regular bases. It has done right be me for the last month. Sorry this is a Target link but I know it's available else wear. www.target.com...
	1:23pm still b/p: Eeyore + Lazy Bones + "Manana."
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: i like it, but i like the other version better...Ed Brennen?
	🛒 1:23pm Brian in UK: Uncle, get a Moka, it does the job.
	1:23pm Webhamster Henry: @Brian .. basically, when I came back from Vienna, (40 years ago) where I had cafe au lait every day practically, I felt there was no coffee here. Like coelacanthø, I'm a tea drinker or just hot water, which I call an Ellington, which is what the Duke drank.
	1:23pm chresti: @Michael-we went to an Ethiopian place that did that, with resin burning and all, fantastic!
	1:26pm chresti: @joe-that one looks like the boiler variety
	1:26pm chresti: Which means there's less pressure
	1:27pm Michael 98145: yes. i tend to just drink hot water, too ...
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: a chinese herbalist i once visited suggested i drink hot water. but i rarely do.
	1:29pm joe: @chresti sorry I don't know what that mean.
	1:29pm chresti: www.target.com...
	🛒 1:29pm Franco Twinkie: One night my dad and uncle were at their moms house. My uncle asked my grandma where she kept the coffee, she told him and he made coffee for himself and my dad. Pouring himself the first cup, He made a weird face when he tasted, but continued to drink it. Finally he said "Mom where did you get that coffee?" She was blind and had filled a coffee can with chili powder.
	🛒 1:30pm Brian in UK: Hot water with a slice of lemon to start the day. My real gripe is that when you buy hot chocolate in a shop it is NOT hot. So I only make it at home.
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: ha! coulda been worse!
	1:31pm still b/p: Loving this shellac track stack.
	1:33pm chresti: @joe-with a boiler, the pressure builds with boiling water-the pump (the more bars the more power in the pressure) commercial espresso machines are pump
	1:33pm Michael 98145: hot water is sort of naturopath coffee ...
	1:35pm melinda: @Franco that's hilarious...poo poo coffee @Jeff I hadn't thought about the maltreatment of civets but's that a good reason not to buy it.
	1:35pm chresti: I drink about 3 cups a day, (2 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon) tea the rest of the time
	1:35pm joe: @chresti got it thank you
	1:38pm chresti: I started putting milk in coffee after staying in France for a few months. The coffee was very strong there
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: Brian (in UK) that's excellent for the liver, even if it's not hot. (just not cold)
	1:39pm joe: Hooray For What!
	1:39pm Dean: Jamaica: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaica_(musical)
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: UM i was listening to Blossom Dearie, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.
	1:40pm chresti: I like chocolate in coffee, it's too sweet at most cafes
	1:40pm glenn: apparently, napoleon is from hooray for what.
	1:40pm frenchee: @dean, go! Looks like Lena Horne was in it. I sometimes can be counted on to know some stuff about Bway musicals
	1:41pm glenn: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:41pm frenchee: JAMAICA, @Glenn
	1:41pm Dean: Wouldn't mind hearing her sing it, assuming it was her role's.
	1:41pm Roberto: Rocks Off! I used to sing this in my college band.
	1:42pm still b/p: Ricardo Montalban, Ossie Davis in Jamaica, too. A few Tonys picked up.
	1:43pm glenn: i know next to nothing about broadway musicals, so i'm just going with what the google machine tells me.
	1:43pm still b/p: Actually, some nominations...maybe no wins.
	1:44pm frenchee: Jamaica is a musical with a book by Yip Harburg and Fred Saidy, lyrics by Harburg, and music by Harold Arlen. It is set on a small island off the coast of Jamaica, and tells about a simple island community fighting to avoid being overrun by American commercialism. Arlen's music parodies the popular form of Calypso, which was in vogue in the 1950s, largely as a result of the popularity of Harry Belafonte, for whom the musical was originally written. Belafonte withdrew from the production due to illness, and the musical was then tailored around the talents of Lena Horne.[1] Harburg was blacklisted in Hollywood at the time of the writing of the musical,[1] and the satire is unusually pointed. With Calypso so out of fashion the musical now is dated, but many of the issues raised in its songs, including evolution, nuclear energy, and consumerism, remain topical today. --from Wikipedia
	1:44pm frenchee: psssst, nobody tell Irwin calypso is out of style.....
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: i used to make hot chocolate with almond milk, cocoa powder and honey. i could make it very strong and not overly sweet and it was delicious. (sometimes adding a drop of cognac, whiskey, or sambuca, ameretto....) but the cocoa i bought recently is disappointing.
	1:45pm The Oscar: The first summer I lived away from home, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to crack the parallels between Exile on Main Street and Exile in Guyville. I never quite succeeded, but both albums instantly bring me back to those few months.
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: going through the whole album?
	🛒 1:46pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyDinkyers. Saw the Feelies at Celebrate Brooklyn several years ago. They encored with this "Rocks Off. Gureaaaat!
	1:46pm Roberto: Didn't Liz Phair already do this?
	🛒 1:46pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I saw the Rolling Stones in 72 on their Exile on Main Street tour. Somehow never listened to Exile in Guyville.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: exile in guyville is great! -doesn't have much to do with main st. though.
	1:49pm chresti: @coel-yum!
	1:49pm Roberto: Hmm...well Exile was my favorite album for a few years in the late '80s/early '90s, so no complaints.
	1:50pm The Oscar: What @coelacanth said! The silly part was this was well after Liz admitted the "response record" thing was mostly bunk, but I wanted to believe!
	1:51pm chresti: I have yet to find a satisfactory cocoa/cacao/chocolate. The powder I have is stale tasting.
	1:51pm glenn: jackie shane died today. www.cbc.ca...
	1:52pm glenn: try abuelita. good mexican hot chocolate.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: sad news about Jackie
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: chresti i got "now" brand organic cocoa. i like many of their products but it just seems very...tame?
	1:54pm johnk77: tommy castro has a pro live band and a bus
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: so far i like the originals better, but this one's some competition.
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: ...rest in peace Jackie Shane.
	1:56pm The Oscar: Just realizing now that I've never known a single word of this song outside the chorus.
	1:58pm coelacanth∅: didn't the radio beat Linda Rondstat's version into your head?
	2:02pm Dean: Sounds like he's singing "shed."
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: very small shed
	2:04pm Dean: As compared to a bull shed
	🛒 2:04pm Franco Twinkie: My mom's name is Virginia and she is really loosing her marbles. She is driving me and my sister nuts on a daily basis, So this song is,well, our song now!
	2:06pm Roberto: Franco, have you suggested she scrape that shit right off her shoes?
	🛒 2:07pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah, Roberto, in more ways than one!
	2:07pm Roberto: Well I'm out of ideas.
	2:08pm Dean: Even I don't like Linda's take.
	2:10pm still b/p: Oh, Linda. Afraid I never cared for much of Linda's more popular output. Never.
	2:11pm chresti: The Wailing Souls are coming to LA in March.
	2:17pm Roberto: Funny thing is I'm making out a lot of these lyrics for the first time. Back when I listened to Exile nonstop, I didn't have a lyric sheet and we didn't have no fancy internets to tell us stuff.
	2:19pm david w: Fabulous show. Gotta run. Thanks!
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: take care, david
	2:20pm johnk77: nils lofgren was great live in the seventies
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: I can imagine,John.
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: what the Fuck was that Fucking noise?!
	2:23pm The Oscar: Was wondering when we'd hit PG!
	2:25pm johnk77: also trampoline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su959eEFnnA
	2:28pm Dean: Imagine WFMU totally plugged in to this web thing. The screen would be covered with ads for coffee makers, ventilator, and a message from the Waco Visitors Bureau.
	2:30pm Michael 98145: ... and the My Pillow guy.
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	2:31pm Dean: Larry McCray was the other vocalist.
	2:31pm The Oscar: Maybe they were all being sarcastic?
	🛒 2:32pm Franco Twinkie: Not to mention stretchy underwear suits for plus size gals.
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: well, all my favorites from exile are played already, but i'm hoping one of these covers blows the original out of the water.
	2:36pm Dean: Looks like there's a solo piano cover of "Turd...," among others from EoMS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/solo-piano-rolling-stones-exile-on-main-st-feat-eric-carlton/1232315555
	2:38pm coelacanth∅: this is better than the original.
	2:40pm johnk77: gate was a cool guy put on a great show lucky to have done sound for him:>
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: maybe shoulda played pussy galore's version of this too!
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: Voodoo Lounge is a German RS cover band.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: maybe!
	2:42pm Roberto: This version of Let it Loose is causing me to wax wistful.
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: for the original?
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: i was hoping it was a "black" guy, so i could say it's a black guy mimicking a white guy mimicking black guys.
	2:43pm Roberto: Ha no, just in general. My point is it's soulful.
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: so, Uncle M, if you're not doing a Peter Tork tribute, maybe your next album tribute could be "more of the monkees"
	2:46pm Michael 98145: Have to confess, i preferred the Stones and Dave Clark Five to the Beatles, when that was even a question ...
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Coel, I opened the show with a Peter Tork song.
	2:47pm coelacanth∅: (then again, it's hard to imagine anyone's had the lack of discretion enough to cover "on the day we fall in love")
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: ah, i see now. i quickly scrolled away from the mass homicide scene.
	2:48pm still b/p: More of the Monkees. Nesmith: "probably the worst album in the history of the world".
	2:48pm Michael 98145: ah . this -
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: ...and...THIS ISN'T A COVER!
	2:49pm chresti: If only I could stop breaking down
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Ummm....aaaaand....
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: Nesmith's a kook! there are great songs on that album!
	2:50pm chresti: I think I like that most@Dean
	🛒 2:50pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Michael, this set has given me the courage to get dressed, go outside and take on the world.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: That's why I do this, Franco.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: good version
	2:52pm Dean: Nicky Hopkins, Jim Price with Jennifer
	2:52pm still b/p: What makes the muskrat guard his musk?
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: - oh, i thought you did it so i'd NEVER get out of the house!
	2:53pm Michael 98145: thanks again, UM
	2:53pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael- haha coel@2:48
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: a) courage
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Also for that reason, Coel.
	2:54pm joe: @Uncle Michael what about Remain in Light or Speaking In Tongues. I know there is some interesting stuff of those out there just not sure if you can cover all.
	2:55pm chresti: Thanks UM for giving me the courage to have an extra cup of coffee.
	2:55pm Roberto: lol...wrong Soul Survivor, I think.
	2:56pm Roberto: And we were doing so well, too.
	2:56pm joe: Got my running shoes on.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: haha! it was pretty horrible!
	2:57pm chresti: www.google.com...
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: the infallible Robert Johnson. (well, except for the dying at 27 thing maybe)
	2:59pm chresti: @UM (my espresso maker)
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM! great program ...and i told my sister about it, but she took it as a warning - because it was coming from me.
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: bye, my friends
	2:48am pacific standard simon: I made a wonderful CD of covers of Highway 61 Revisited, including 3 bonus tracks of songs that were recorded at the same time but not included. The only problem I had was with "Tombstone Blues", which I solved by going to the Richie Havens version on that stupid movie soundtrack. Good cover.
