Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from November 25, 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.

More nerdishness: OED also points to a '51 reference to the day as a holiday: "‘Friday-after-Thanksgiving-itis’ is a disease second only to the bubonic plague in its effects... When you decide you want to sweeten up the holiday kitty, pick Black Friday to add to the list..Friday after Thanksgiving is the company's seventh paid holiday." Only just realized why "black" is so fitting, too: "a day on which retailers' accounts went from being in the red to being in the black..."

I have never heard the revivalism in their less-R&B stuff. Close your eyes to the wardrobe and they're less revivalist that 10,000 Beatlesque bands are. They never sounded amything like the Who to me.

Yeah, they kinda sounded more like Doctor Feelgood, but they did fashion themselves as neo-Mods, and "Away from the Numbers" on the first album was Who-sey. I never thought Cheap Trick sounded like The Beatles, either, but that was the word c.1978.

Well said - I mean that's what's in people's heads, really - 'Mod Revivalists'. I think Weller was well in w/ the Punk era ethic of not kowtowing to Elders - he was never stymied by awe in Townshend's presence for instance...I think a lot of what they did was a restatement of TheWho ('This Is the Modern World') - but also 'Revolver' Beatles, U.S. R&B, Kinks...
Interesting Dean: I think Back Then we were closer to the Sources & it was a Thing - less now PostPostPost-Modern; we forgive people for references more immediately...I think Move w/ the Trick a lot, actually...
