Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 12, 2016 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

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.

801 is something of a Rorschach test. I first heard it in the context of progressive rock, featured on a show devoted to the genre. Never occurred to me it prompted hardcore, but yeah, that makes sense, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:04pm
coelacanth:

this is so good!
Avatar 🛒 Swag For Life Member 1:07pm
Parq:

The way I remember 801 is as part of a transition from progressive rock represented by the likes of Genesis and Strawbs to the more out-there stuff represented by Eno. It was kind of a coming of age thing for me. From there, I went to folks like Pere Ubu and the Residents, and mainstream college-town stuff got left behind once and for all.

Dean:

I heard 801 as a casual outing by former Roxy Music and connected personnel having fun with pop forms. The progressive legacy was there, albeit not the wispy Genesis variety. At the time they were neither progressive nor pop "enough" for me. (There's a pun embedded in that adverb.) I enjoy it much more now than I did when it was released.

i bought 801 because it said "Eno" on it. i'd never heard of it and didn't really know Roxy music. i guess that's why i was slightly disappointed. it doesn't have the depth of Eno's studio albums. it seemed like they's just learned the songs and hastily made new arrangements that weren't as good as the original conceptions.

TNK was the prog rock show rotation tune, for sure. Have heard "In and Around Greg Lake," and the title alone always provokes a chuckle. For Yes, a 1970 Siberian Khatru, which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule. "Black Diamond," that's the KISS tune I've played.

I'd heard Lee was a singer later in his career, but had no idea he'd tackled this one!

I recall Danielle Dax recording a version of TNK that had part of Talking Head's Once in a Lifetime groove sample in it. I understand the urge to put lots of layers into that song, so it was refreshing to hear the Junior Parker version

His metal albums much later might be closer to what you'd expect from Dracula/Saruman...

But I don't think I've ever listened to the B-side and I know I have at least one copy of Fire.

Best thing I can say about Lawrence, KS, because it's the only thing I know about the place, is that Martin Logan loudspeakers are designed and manufactured there. That's a good thing.
