Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 28, 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.

Thanks, @ljfw. I see the index has an entry for "Whittier, parochialism of." That's priceless. In 1976 I was working at the public library in Whittier, where the community meeting room was called the Nixon Room. One day a supervisor asked me to set up chairs for a screening of a movie. "In the Nixon Room?," I inquired. The supervisor glowered, "It's the multi-purpose room!" Took a while for the bruise of '74 to heal in Whittier.

Hye, I have an Elvis album that I think is one of his best called "Rhythm & Country"--I had to Google it cuz mine is in storage. It was recorded in 1973 and released in 1998, says Amazon.

And I'm sorry but I just don't get the new releases on cassette craze. Vinyl? Yes, of course. But cassettes were always crap. OK, I get the irony. Heck, I have quite a collection of 8-tracks sitting around. But cassettes were never fun. More like a necessity in the case of collecting concerts etc.

Our last CRT TV was on a shelf that I reassembled incorrectly. In the middle of the night, there was a loud jarring crash. Next day, I was hauling it to Best Buy for recycling. And also to buy its much lighter replacement.

I try to avoid it as much as possible but a lot of current pop vocals sound somewhat synthesized, in an annoying way. I don't understand the technology behind it but I sort of hate it. Not the same as straight-on robot voice from the early 80s.
