Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 13, 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.

He bought a chicken farm in Petaluma, went through a bad divorce, and grilled weenies at Jerome's Good Dogs in Cotati, CA in the mid 70s. I ate there often. This was before every goddam movie wanted the rights to "Spirit".

There was probably a period of years between the hit and the licensing.

"Canned Ham" was Norman Greenbaum's second-highest charting single (I think). It's on the b-side of my copy of "Spirit In The Sky" but I think that copy was a later issue, with "back to back hits."

How about a "Canned Ham", Canned Heat, and Ege Bamyasi triple play?

The flavor secret of the great dogs is they were made with all the Canned Ham Norm had on hand that never sold.

Ed in Scotchland:

As an extremely infrequent listener of GTDR (and I'm enjoying this show immensely, by the by,) I'd like to know, is the station as a whole best described as 'WFMU 2', or is there some sort of overriding musical concept which drives GTDR, which is distinct from WFMU itself?

Yes Hyde, I was on my way to the archive and you wouldn't believe how my eyes lit up in amazement at my good fortune to discover the live feed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:44pm

Ed, I'd say that in principle it is not distinct, musically...since as with all shows on WFMU's terrestrial signal, GTDR DJs play whatever they feel moved to play.

GTDR and the other streams are different in the sense that they have a more consistent 24hr cycle.

One distinction is that the GTDR stream is open to DJs who do not live in the WFMU broadcast area.

@ed: plus a couple of WFMU 2 DJs are former on-air DJs, so there's some overlap there, too. about the only difference i can think of is that there are no fcc restrictions on language or content here.
