Listener comments!
	11:49am pacific standard simon: They say that wakin' up is hard to do; Now I know -- I know that it's true. Don't say, "Get out of your bed!" Instead of wakin' up, I think we Should roll over and play dead.
	12:01pm Doug Schulkind: OK, which one is Hinky and which one is Dinky?
	12:01pm Uncle Michael: Hallo.
	12:02pm Uncle Michael: Hinky's on your right.
	12:02pm duke: Those dogs will be tired by the end of the show
	12:02pm Uncle Michael: Oh...you mean the dogs...
	12:02pm still b/p: Is that Corgi and Bess?
	12:05pm pacific standard simon: ...and Kinky's in the middle.
	12:07pm efd: Come for the Corgis, stay for the music!
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: Hey, there Evan!
	12:08pm CuzJ: Come for the music, stay for the Corgis.

	12:09pm listener james from westwood: corgi-based perpetual motion machine = solution to the energy crisis. howdy, uncle michael!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Hola, James

	12:11pm still b/p: They look like they're coming for ME! Relentlessly like low-trottin' Terminators!
	12:12pm CuzJ: Can't sleep. Corgis will eat me.
	12:12pm joe: I have to say I am growing to develop a new found interest in some of Wings material.
	12:13pm Jeff Golick: The one on the left has those black, Bob-Weir-50-yr-stare eyes.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Wings deserves another look.
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Don't be bad-mouthin' Bobby.
	12:15pm CuzJ: So does Plastic Ono Band. Listened to some the other day during an interview of Yoko and her son.
	12:15pm fleep: Yeah, this McCartney kid shows some promise. Good morning UM.
	12:16pm Jeff Golick: "yard" Hi.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: CuzJ...is thet you? Hey fleep.
	12:17pm G: Rock > Hip
	12:18pm fleep: Rock > Scissors
	12:21pm Michael: Alice - nice UM!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Someone please unplug the treadmill.
	12:23pm still b/p: That's a good self-help book title right there.
	12:24pm Michael: Waiting for those legs to disappear as the playlist grows..
	12:26pm G: If you turn off the treadmill, the dogs will lurch forward and leave blurry noseprints on the camera lens. That would get 300,000 views on utoob, though, if promoted right.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: DO IT!
	12:28pm pacific standard simon: "JANE! Get me off this crazy thing! JAAAAANE!"
	12:29pm joe: If you stare at the one on your left long enough you will realize that he/she seems to boring a hole directly into your soul with those eyes. Like the treadmill is the only thing keeping he/she from lunging for you.
	12:32pm listener james from westwood: live birds on the live stream!
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: Donny!! (sorry Roberta)
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: Where Is The Love = UNFUKWITTABLE
	12:36pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael I had East of Underground's version of this Curtis track in my closing set and took it out at the last minute!
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: aw yiss curtis
	12:37pm SeanG: ain't nothing wrong with this!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: That's kinda skeery Doug.
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: Next thing you know, we're going to get our periods at the same time.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: entrainment
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: This song was also on my Emergency Broadcast System show this past Wednesday. It was a hell theme.
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: and then doug and uncle michael will be jogging in sync on the same treadmill.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: We'll end up like Ray Milland and Rosie Greer.
	12:41pm G: wow, remember, freddy's dead.
	12:42pm G: @UM: or like two dogs trotting side by side in eternal sync.
	12:44pm Loren: Looks like I'm in thr right place! Greetings from California!
	12:44pm G: i love the flopping ear
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Hello Loren. Welcome.
	12:45pm pacific standard simon: That's the Uncle Michael guarantee -- you're ALWAYS in the right place!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Nobody beats our prices.
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: And every day's a special day.
	12:49pm other eddie: sign me up, pufnstuf
	12:51pm G: thing is, it doesn't seem like things ever get rough here! that's no complaint
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Got references?
	12:56pm other eddie: references? yes. i use the length of one episode of avatar the last airbender to represent a half hour. lemme know if you need another.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: That works for me.
	12:58pm pacific standard simon: My baby threw up in the back of my Cadillac.
	12:59pm G: but were you and she done using it yet? that's the main thing.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: sorry about that dead air
	1:01pm pacific standard simon: Ah, Saturday nights in the 70s!
	1:09pm Dominick: Great stuff Uncle Michael
	1:09pm SeanG: Kurt G. killed it with this song at the marathon finale
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: What? This year? I had no idea.
	1:11pm SeanG: yep, this past March
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Dominick
	1:12pm Dominick: Yea Kurt knocked it out of the park
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I bet I heard it and filed it in my subconscious.
	1:20pm pacific standard simon: Can you pause the show? I need to jump in the shower.
	1:20pm Matt from Springfield: This show powered by doggies! @UM: Yes, GREAT Tanya Tucker song, and great Kurt cover of it this year!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: 15 minutes of dead air for Simon coming next.
	1:23pm pacific standard simon: That should warm up the crowd.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: This one's for you, Matt
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Bob Dylan's original I'll Be Your Baby was the opening track on possible the best comp ever 1969s The Rock Machine Turns You On.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: Admittedly, it was all CBS (Columbia) Artistes.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: At least you admit it.
	1:28pm Matt from Springfield: "Call Me Round"? Or the Pilot twin-spin?
	1:29pm still b/p: Why'd that version of Magic sound different?
	1:29pm Matt from Springfield: And incidentally, while simon's in the shower, why not sing into the mic for the 15 minutes like you are in the shower! ;)
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I once told you about the earlier version of Magic, Matt.
	1:31pm listener james from westwood: diggin' the proceedings at the halfway mark!
	1:31pm Matt from Springfield: Awww sweet! :) Thanks Unca Michael! Still haven't found a way to listen in at this computer, but will check out the "Magic" as soon as the 'chive is posted, many many thanks! (Well, maybe I'll listen to the Hinky Dinky Time open before jumping ahead...it's an awesome theme! :)
	1:34pm Matt from Springfield: So "Heads Or Tails" is the B-side, does that make it heads, or tails? I think B-sides should at least occasionally be heads.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Of course.
	🛒 1:38pm Brian in UK: As you are a bit of an English tip. The comp mentioned earlier had Elmer Gantrys Velvet Opera's 'Flame' & Zombies' Time of the Season.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: I will have to seek it out. That sounds interesting. I collect WB comps but not Columbia...
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: Back -- wet and wonderful.
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: @UM fyi en.wikipedia.org...
	1:44pm G: Yeh, I wanna see Albert Lee lay down his parts live on video.
	1:47pm joe: Yeah I hear a touch of Who there just a bit.
	1:48pm listener james from westwood: that opening: wow.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Just a bit.
	1:55pm listener james from westwood: i repeat my earlier "wow"
	1:55pm nah: I absolutely adore Adam Buxton.
	1:56pm Michael: Thought that was SW at first - had to look!
	1:57pm Gaylord Fields: If he does Britney's part in Scott's duck voice, I'll have a genuine conniption.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: Email him, Gaylord. it's never too late for a remix.
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Ah -- you saved the B-Side for Charlie.
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: OK!
	2:03pm Gaylord Fields: Maybe we can get WFMU's Dirty Duck out of retirement to record it. And by "retirement," I mean the halfway house in Newark that is, by necessity, more than 500 yards away from any school.
	2:06pm G: speaking of "hip", maybe some have seen this poll and some haven't... www.publicpolicypolling.com...
	2:07pm joe: Now I look at the picture of the dogs and listen to this song and can't help but smile.
	2:08pm fleep: So being over hipsters is hip? Wait.
	2:08pm listener james from westwood: true story of dj in-themes: ages ago tony coulter used to use a pyrolator(?) cut for his, iirc, noon monday shows. i used to eat lunch @ noon. one day tony started his show @ 11am, with his usual music. i got FIERECELY hungry. damn you, pavlov!
	2:09pm nah: This is giving me such Curb Your Enthusiasm vibes
	2:10pm nah: The one before it even more though.
	2:10pm pacific standard simon: What can I say? This will probably be my favorite set of the whole show.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Most of this set will be future mic beds for me...to be honest.
	2:12pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of Pavlovian responses, every time I post a comment, I have to look at the dogs again when I return to the playlist.
	2:12pm Gaylord Fields: Once again, I implore you to get out of my brain, Uncle Michael! I've recently become mildly obsessed with sound library music, and here you go laying down a stellar KPM track!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I'm sharing the obsession, Gaylord. I welcome any pointers to where you're finding the best stuff.
	2:14pm Gaylord Fields: FCC cigarette ad ban be damned! This is the Mighty Internet!
	2:14pm listener james from westwood: gaylord, i went a good 2 weeks with "funky fanfare" stuck in my head. not the worst earworm i've ever had....
	2:14pm Dominick: This is magnificent. Makes me want to chew gum.
	2:15pm Gaylord Fields: UM, I'll send you the URL to a great KPM-oriented site offlist.
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:17pm Gaylord Fields: LJFW: They were mathematically calculated to do just that. Insidious little bastids those composers were.
	🛒 2:17pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hellooo there. Was that the Benson & Hedges commercial music from the late sixties. FYI, your show is great!
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Kevin...yes...as released by The Brass Ring.
	2:20pm G: The EAS has issued a Clavinet Alert!
	2:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Kevin: Similarly, Trombones Unlimited do a version of "A Silly Millimeter Longer," the "La Bamba"-esque Chesterfield 101 jingle.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: hee!
	2:21pm listener james from westwood: yes! i thought this was the free design. good for 600 points; select again!
	🛒 2:23pm Brian in UK: This is swell
	2:23pm pacific standard simon: Some Spanky and Our Gang would work here.
	2:23pm G: If the Infinite Rider of the Big Dogma had a shootout with the New Riders of the Purple Sage, who would die?
	🛒 2:24pm Brian in UK: simon 'Sunday Morning?'
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Is that a rhetorical question?
	2:25pm G: a "think question," as they say in college classes :)
	🛒 2:26pm Brian in UK: Nobody dies on this show.
	2:26pm Gaylord Fields: Infinite dog riders on the big treadmill.
	🛒 2:27pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks Mr. Fields. Isn't it nice that we can remember ancient jingles? What's scary is that these things were formitive to our psyches and probably have something to do with our love of FMU!
	2:27pm pacific standard simon: What'd you call my dog ma?
	2:28pm G: Doesn't a karma usually run over a dogma?
	2:30pm G: @KfBR: As advertisers know all too well, repetition is the mother of memory.
	2:30pm Gaylord Fields: It sometimes horrifies me when I catch myself reciting entire commercials and jingles from 30-40 years ago. And by "horrifies," I mean elates. And by "elates," I mean horrifies my wife.
	2:32pm ndbob: heya UM and everyone!
	🛒 2:32pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yeah, In my case, horrifies my kids!
	2:33pm ndbob: sly's first record
	2:35pm pacific standard simon: @Gaylord - had the same experience with my wife last night when I sang the entire Armour Hot Dogs jingle from memory. Horrified... and fascinated.
	2:36pm northguineahills: Wow, never had heard of this Shuggie, and their's a lot of Shuggie out there!
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I hope you like this...it's loooooong.
	2:38pm northguineahills: I still sing Sesame Street songs all the way through. My friends look at me like I'm a carnival freak.
	2:39pm Gaylord Fields: @pss: "...even kids with chicken pox"?
	2:39pm Doug Schulkind: @northguineahills Put the bearded lady down so I can get a proper look at you.
	2:39pm listener james from westwood: i made a friend crack up by quoting the mouse trap boardgame ad copy: "roll the dice! move your mice! remember this ad for three fucking decades!"
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: kids who climb on rocks
	2:41pm pacific standard simon: That's the one, guys.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: pop-o-matic...that's the name...
	2:42pm pacific standard simon: "The dogs kids love to bite."
	2:42pm ndbob: ha James!
	2:42pm Doug Schulkind: Me: Bet you didn't know that the sax player on this track is Richard Aplanalp. You: Know it, I can't even pronounce it!
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: I think these musicians may have been on the dope.
	🛒 2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Talk about elated(without the horrify part). I'm actually getting the new Pop-up stream and thusly can listen to GTDS at work (only popup plays to any extent here) for the first time in years.YaYYY!
	2:43pm Jeff Golick: a man a plan a saxophone aplanalp.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I'll second the YaYYY.
	2:44pm Jeff Golick: Where, I can't see.
	2:45pm pacific standard simon: Congrats, Kevin. Perhaps your co-workers will supply the horrified part. ;)
	2:45pm Jeff Golick: Here, diagonally!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: halfway to upright!
	2:46pm Jeff Golick: ...all together now...
	2:47pm G: @UM: that's what she said...
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: PRETTY SNEAKY, SIS.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: You sunk my battleship. Motherfucker.
	2:50pm northguineahills: genius, Jeff!
	2:52pm northguineahills: What the hell was that?!!!! Awesome!!!! (Charanjit Sing).
	🛒 2:55pm KevinfromBayRidge: @psp, HaHa, I accomplished that quite a while ago, I think it was when FMU was going yodel-crazy. So now I'm alone in a windowless office. But FMU is loud & proud!
	2:55pm pacific standard simon: Good times, UM.
	2:55pm G: I guess I somehow assumed I'd never hear this particular Neil D. track again. Have I heard it since circa 71?
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: I'm going a couple minutes long today. Thanks Simon.
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: I prefer the Rollings Stones' "Diamond."
	2:57pm fleep: There's a new log line for the home page: Things you never thought you'd hear again, heard again.
	2:57pm northguineahills: Darn, forgot to check on Bryce today.
	2:58pm Doug Schulkind: The "now playing" info from Bryce's playlist is this: "." Yes, that's it.
	2:58pm G: @ngh: His playlist is shorter :) News, huh? -- I checked over there some :)
	🛒 2:59pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yup...I'm heeere!
	2:59pm northguineahills: UM's set kept me glued to the stream. At least it isn't conveyor belt of a stream.
	3:00pm fleep: GTDR is easy on the ears.
	3:01pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:02pm G: and that's all she wrote!
	3:02pm northguineahills: The whole two streams as once trick doesn't work as well this time around.
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: had a helluva time. thanks, UM, for the fine show!
	3:02pm northguineahills: Still running in place, great job, UM!
	3:03pm G: a lecher with rhythm? i'll bite.
	3:03pm fleep: Thanks, UM. From Hinky Dinky Time to Ralphs Time - away we go!
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	🛒 3:59pm Brian in UK: Had to cut and run to cook dinner. Good show old bean. Just seen an odd non-connection. The Stewart Brothers. The Boomtown Rats recorded on Ensign (that being an Irish connection I guess) in the Seventies. Hell, everything you know is wrong.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 17, 2013

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!
	11:49am pacific standard simon: They say that wakin' up is hard to do; Now I know -- I know that it's true. Don't say, "Get out of your bed!" Instead of wakin' up, I think we Should roll over and play dead.
	12:01pm Doug Schulkind: OK, which one is Hinky and which one is Dinky?
	12:01pm Uncle Michael: Hallo.
	12:02pm Uncle Michael: Hinky's on your right.

	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Hola, James
	12:10pm CuzJ: Going to Joe Bonomassa tonight at the Beacon. Can the corgi's come?
	12:11pm still b/p: They look like they're coming for ME! Relentlessly like low-trottin' Terminators!
	12:12pm CuzJ: Can't sleep. Corgis will eat me.
	12:12pm joe: I have to say I am growing to develop a new found interest in some of Wings material.

	12:26pm G: If you turn off the treadmill, the dogs will lurch forward and leave blurry noseprints on the camera lens. That would get 300,000 views on utoob, though, if promoted right.

	12:28pm pacific standard simon: "JANE! Get me off this crazy thing! JAAAAANE!"
	12:29pm joe: If you stare at the one on your left long enough you will realize that he/she seems to boring a hole directly into your soul with those eyes. Like the treadmill is the only thing keeping he/she from lunging for you.
	12:32pm listener james from westwood: live birds on the live stream!
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: Donny!! (sorry Roberta)
	12:35pm Jeff Golick: Where Is The Love = UNFUKWITTABLE
	12:36pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael I had East of Underground's version of this Curtis track in my closing set and took it out at the last minute!
	12:37pm listener james from westwood: aw yiss curtis
	12:37pm SeanG: ain't nothing wrong with this!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: That's kinda skeery Doug.
	12:38pm Doug Schulkind: Next thing you know, we're going to get our periods at the same time.
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: entrainment
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: This song was also on my Emergency Broadcast System show this past Wednesday. It was a hell theme.
	12:40pm listener james from westwood: and then doug and uncle michael will be jogging in sync on the same treadmill.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: We'll end up like Ray Milland and Rosie Greer.
	12:41pm G: wow, remember, freddy's dead.
	12:42pm G: @UM: or like two dogs trotting side by side in eternal sync.
	12:44pm Loren: Looks like I'm in thr right place! Greetings from California!
	12:44pm G: i love the flopping ear
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Hello Loren. Welcome.
	12:45pm pacific standard simon: That's the Uncle Michael guarantee -- you're ALWAYS in the right place!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Nobody beats our prices.
	12:47pm pacific standard simon: And every day's a special day.
	12:49pm other eddie: sign me up, pufnstuf
	12:51pm G: thing is, it doesn't seem like things ever get rough here! that's no complaint
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Got references?
	12:56pm other eddie: references? yes. i use the length of one episode of avatar the last airbender to represent a half hour. lemme know if you need another.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: That works for me.
	12:58pm pacific standard simon: My baby threw up in the back of my Cadillac.
	12:59pm G: but were you and she done using it yet? that's the main thing.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: sorry about that dead air
	1:01pm pacific standard simon: Ah, Saturday nights in the 70s!
	1:09pm Dominick: Great stuff Uncle Michael
	1:09pm SeanG: Kurt G. killed it with this song at the marathon finale
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: What? This year? I had no idea.
	1:11pm SeanG: yep, this past March
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Dominick
	1:12pm Dominick: Yea Kurt knocked it out of the park
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I bet I heard it and filed it in my subconscious.
	1:20pm pacific standard simon: Can you pause the show? I need to jump in the shower.
	1:20pm Matt from Springfield: This show powered by doggies! @UM: Yes, GREAT Tanya Tucker song, and great Kurt cover of it this year!
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: 15 minutes of dead air for Simon coming next.
	1:23pm pacific standard simon: That should warm up the crowd.
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: This one's for you, Matt
	🛒 1:24pm Brian in UK: Bob Dylan's original I'll Be Your Baby was the opening track on possible the best comp ever 1969s The Rock Machine Turns You On.
	🛒 1:26pm Brian in UK: Admittedly, it was all CBS (Columbia) Artistes.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: At least you admit it.
	1:28pm Matt from Springfield: "Call Me Round"? Or the Pilot twin-spin?
	1:29pm still b/p: Why'd that version of Magic sound different?
	1:29pm Matt from Springfield: And incidentally, while simon's in the shower, why not sing into the mic for the 15 minutes like you are in the shower! ;)
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I once told you about the earlier version of Magic, Matt.
	1:31pm listener james from westwood: diggin' the proceedings at the halfway mark!
	1:31pm Matt from Springfield: Awww sweet! :) Thanks Unca Michael! Still haven't found a way to listen in at this computer, but will check out the "Magic" as soon as the 'chive is posted, many many thanks! (Well, maybe I'll listen to the Hinky Dinky Time open before jumping ahead...it's an awesome theme! :)
	1:34pm Matt from Springfield: So "Heads Or Tails" is the B-side, does that make it heads, or tails? I think B-sides should at least occasionally be heads.
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: Of course.
	🛒 1:38pm Brian in UK: As you are a bit of an English tip. The comp mentioned earlier had Elmer Gantrys Velvet Opera's 'Flame' & Zombies' Time of the Season.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: I will have to seek it out. That sounds interesting. I collect WB comps but not Columbia...
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: Back -- wet and wonderful.
	🛒 1:43pm Brian in UK: @UM fyi en.wikipedia.org...
	1:44pm G: Yeh, I wanna see Albert Lee lay down his parts live on video.
	1:47pm joe: Yeah I hear a touch of Who there just a bit.
	1:48pm listener james from westwood: that opening: wow.
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Just a bit.
	1:55pm listener james from westwood: i repeat my earlier "wow"
	1:55pm nah: I absolutely adore Adam Buxton.
	1:56pm Michael: Thought that was SW at first - had to look!
	1:57pm Gaylord Fields: If he does Britney's part in Scott's duck voice, I'll have a genuine conniption.
	1:59pm Uncle Michael: Email him, Gaylord. it's never too late for a remix.
	2:01pm pacific standard simon: Ah -- you saved the B-Side for Charlie.
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: OK!
	2:03pm Gaylord Fields: Maybe we can get WFMU's Dirty Duck out of retirement to record it. And by "retirement," I mean the halfway house in Newark that is, by necessity, more than 500 yards away from any school.
	2:06pm G: speaking of "hip", maybe some have seen this poll and some haven't... www.publicpolicypolling.com...
	2:07pm joe: Now I look at the picture of the dogs and listen to this song and can't help but smile.
	2:08pm fleep: So being over hipsters is hip? Wait.
	2:08pm listener james from westwood: true story of dj in-themes: ages ago tony coulter used to use a pyrolator(?) cut for his, iirc, noon monday shows. i used to eat lunch @ noon. one day tony started his show @ 11am, with his usual music. i got FIERECELY hungry. damn you, pavlov!
	2:09pm nah: This is giving me such Curb Your Enthusiasm vibes
	2:10pm nah: The one before it even more though.
	2:10pm pacific standard simon: What can I say? This will probably be my favorite set of the whole show.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Most of this set will be future mic beds for me...to be honest.
	2:12pm pacific standard simon: Speaking of Pavlovian responses, every time I post a comment, I have to look at the dogs again when I return to the playlist.
	2:12pm Gaylord Fields: Once again, I implore you to get out of my brain, Uncle Michael! I've recently become mildly obsessed with sound library music, and here you go laying down a stellar KPM track!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I'm sharing the obsession, Gaylord. I welcome any pointers to where you're finding the best stuff.
	2:14pm Gaylord Fields: FCC cigarette ad ban be damned! This is the Mighty Internet!
	2:14pm listener james from westwood: gaylord, i went a good 2 weeks with "funky fanfare" stuck in my head. not the worst earworm i've ever had....
	2:14pm Dominick: This is magnificent. Makes me want to chew gum.
	2:15pm Gaylord Fields: UM, I'll send you the URL to a great KPM-oriented site offlist.
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:17pm Gaylord Fields: LJFW: They were mathematically calculated to do just that. Insidious little bastids those composers were.
	🛒 2:17pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hellooo there. Was that the Benson & Hedges commercial music from the late sixties. FYI, your show is great!
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Kevin...yes...as released by The Brass Ring.
	2:20pm G: The EAS has issued a Clavinet Alert!
	2:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Kevin: Similarly, Trombones Unlimited do a version of "A Silly Millimeter Longer," the "La Bamba"-esque Chesterfield 101 jingle.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: hee!
	2:21pm listener james from westwood: yes! i thought this was the free design. good for 600 points; select again!
	🛒 2:23pm Brian in UK: This is swell
	2:23pm pacific standard simon: Some Spanky and Our Gang would work here.
	2:23pm G: If the Infinite Rider of the Big Dogma had a shootout with the New Riders of the Purple Sage, who would die?
	🛒 2:24pm Brian in UK: simon 'Sunday Morning?'
	2:24pm Uncle Michael: Is that a rhetorical question?
	2:25pm G: a "think question," as they say in college classes :)
	🛒 2:26pm Brian in UK: Nobody dies on this show.
	2:26pm Gaylord Fields: Infinite dog riders on the big treadmill.
	🛒 2:27pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks Mr. Fields. Isn't it nice that we can remember ancient jingles? What's scary is that these things were formitive to our psyches and probably have something to do with our love of FMU!
	2:27pm pacific standard simon: What'd you call my dog ma?
	2:28pm G: Doesn't a karma usually run over a dogma?
	2:30pm G: @KfBR: As advertisers know all too well, repetition is the mother of memory.
	2:30pm Gaylord Fields: It sometimes horrifies me when I catch myself reciting entire commercials and jingles from 30-40 years ago. And by "horrifies," I mean elates. And by "elates," I mean horrifies my wife.
	2:32pm ndbob: heya UM and everyone!
	🛒 2:32pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yeah, In my case, horrifies my kids!
	2:33pm ndbob: sly's first record
	2:35pm pacific standard simon: @Gaylord - had the same experience with my wife last night when I sang the entire Armour Hot Dogs jingle from memory. Horrified... and fascinated.
	2:36pm northguineahills: Wow, never had heard of this Shuggie, and their's a lot of Shuggie out there!
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: I hope you like this...it's loooooong.
	2:38pm northguineahills: I still sing Sesame Street songs all the way through. My friends look at me like I'm a carnival freak.
	2:39pm Gaylord Fields: @pss: "...even kids with chicken pox"?
	2:39pm Doug Schulkind: @northguineahills Put the bearded lady down so I can get a proper look at you.
	2:39pm listener james from westwood: i made a friend crack up by quoting the mouse trap boardgame ad copy: "roll the dice! move your mice! remember this ad for three fucking decades!"
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: kids who climb on rocks
	2:41pm pacific standard simon: That's the one, guys.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: pop-o-matic...that's the name...
	2:42pm pacific standard simon: "The dogs kids love to bite."
	2:42pm ndbob: ha James!
	2:42pm Doug Schulkind: Me: Bet you didn't know that the sax player on this track is Richard Aplanalp. You: Know it, I can't even pronounce it!
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: I think these musicians may have been on the dope.
	🛒 2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Talk about elated(without the horrify part). I'm actually getting the new Pop-up stream and thusly can listen to GTDS at work (only popup plays to any extent here) for the first time in years.YaYYY!
	2:43pm Jeff Golick: a man a plan a saxophone aplanalp.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I'll second the YaYYY.
	2:44pm Jeff Golick: Where, I can't see.
	2:45pm pacific standard simon: Congrats, Kevin. Perhaps your co-workers will supply the horrified part. ;)
	2:45pm Jeff Golick: Here, diagonally!
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: halfway to upright!
	2:46pm Jeff Golick: ...all together now...
	2:47pm G: @UM: that's what she said...
	2:47pm Jeff Golick: PRETTY SNEAKY, SIS.
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: You sunk my battleship. Motherfucker.
	2:50pm northguineahills: genius, Jeff!
	2:52pm northguineahills: What the hell was that?!!!! Awesome!!!! (Charanjit Sing).
	🛒 2:55pm KevinfromBayRidge: @psp, HaHa, I accomplished that quite a while ago, I think it was when FMU was going yodel-crazy. So now I'm alone in a windowless office. But FMU is loud & proud!
	2:55pm pacific standard simon: Good times, UM.
	2:55pm G: I guess I somehow assumed I'd never hear this particular Neil D. track again. Have I heard it since circa 71?
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: I'm going a couple minutes long today. Thanks Simon.
	2:56pm Doug Schulkind: I prefer the Rollings Stones' "Diamond."
	2:57pm fleep: There's a new log line for the home page: Things you never thought you'd hear again, heard again.
	2:57pm northguineahills: Darn, forgot to check on Bryce today.
	2:58pm Doug Schulkind: The "now playing" info from Bryce's playlist is this: "." Yes, that's it.
	2:58pm G: @ngh: His playlist is shorter :) News, huh? -- I checked over there some :)
	🛒 2:59pm KevinfromBayRidge: Yup...I'm heeere!
	2:59pm northguineahills: UM's set kept me glued to the stream. At least it isn't conveyor belt of a stream.
	3:00pm fleep: GTDR is easy on the ears.
	3:01pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:02pm G: and that's all she wrote!
	3:02pm northguineahills: The whole two streams as once trick doesn't work as well this time around.
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: had a helluva time. thanks, UM, for the fine show!
	3:02pm northguineahills: Still running in place, great job, UM!
	3:03pm G: a lecher with rhythm? i'll bite.
	3:03pm fleep: Thanks, UM. From Hinky Dinky Time to Ralphs Time - away we go!
	3:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
	🛒 3:59pm Brian in UK: Had to cut and run to cook dinner. Good show old bean. Just seen an odd non-connection. The Stewart Brothers. The Boomtown Rats recorded on Ensign (that being an Irish connection I guess) in the Seventies. Hell, everything you know is wrong.
