Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 22, 2013 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.

Does anyone/everyone else still get the cutting-in-and-thing at everey Drummer stream handoff? Depending on what's playing and how loudly and how far away from the computer I am, the player re-start can get pretty damn urgent.
I tell ya, though, the intermittent Hinky Dinky shopper theme is a good element in an audio mix for a scene with someone going mad....MAD!

I always get the cutting-in-and-out thing when stream handoff occurs, and it gets fixed by clicking the pasue button, and clicking the playbutton again. so now I do that by habit. AS soon as Doug signs off, and I hear the first stopage, I click pause and then paly.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:41pm

I blogged about that "Mr. K. and Mr. D" song (blog.wfmu.org...) and a commenter suggested that "Mr. K." could actually be Khrushchev. Certainly possible, but there was a bevy of countryish religious tunes recorded during the '60s the criticized the U.S. space program as "unChristian" and against the Bible. I took the song in that light as an attack on (the Catholic) Kennedy's race to the moon.

Yes, absolutely! In fact, when I was working for Steinski, Monica used to come over to his studio and hang. Steinski was still producing his Rough Mix show for WFMU at the time. Steinski and I encouraged Monica to come down to the station and get involved—and boy has she.
