Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 13, 2017 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.

Strut recently did a 3CD set of singles, 1952-1961. The set list is identical to the 65 tune list at the URL you provided. Maybe the v.2 list is incorrect. The notes to v.1 make reference to the incomplete Evidence set. Something like a dozen new tracks on Strut.

Bandcamp is confusing matters by hosting two pages, one for a putative v.1, the other for v.2, but both refer to the full collection. What I don't recall is whether the 3CD set I just acquired specifies a date range on the cover as shown on Bandcamp.

As John notes, there were discos before there was disco, which probably explains why early news stories about Studio and its ilk referred to "rock music" being played therein.

had to go to the Asian supermarket. while i was in there, i could here someone's voice yammering from a cell phone. Dang, that's annoying, i thought. Someone is rudely playing their cell phone out loud in the market. As the voice kept talking, it started to sound vaguely familiar...

it was Uncle Michael back announcing. Turns out the WFMU app was broadcasting from my back pocket.

Disco as we came to know it was definitely a common term with the common associations by mid 70s in then northeast, cuz we were already bitching about the trends and traits. I was surprised when after Saturday Night Fever ('77) there was a second wider wave of attention and emphasis that washed over the media and popular culture.....TV, fashion, nightspots becoming disco-ized. But it was definitely a second wave.

I don't desire many car bells, whistles and widgets...don't have any in my current vehicle (manual window cranks and lock buttons!..nearly Flinstonian!) but the capability to do FMU while motoring, that would be, oh, great -- a blessing. Don't have a phone suited to it now anyway. Warmly late-adopting in tendency.

The funny thing is, when cars had cassette players, there were adapters that made it easy to plug in an iPod or other device with a mini-stereo headphone jack. That became impossible with the switch over to CDs, and you had to use those stupid micro-radio-transmitter things (which never worked well for me) until they came up with the aux jacks.
