	12:16pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow dinky fans

	12:19pm Marie: Howdy UM and all! That Lake Shore Drive song reminds of of being high as a kite in the backseat of a silver Buick LeSabre (my parents) with friends as my brother drove on Lake Shore Drive it to a Neil Young "simulblast"--listening to "You are Like a Hurricane" super lout.
	12:19pm fleep: The Hotel remains. The Lodge is being replaced by an Equinox gym and an Erewhon market. Can you say gentrification?

	12:27pm johnk77: jeff porcaro lived nearby had a studio in his garage

	♥ 12:28pm Uncle Michael: I think so. I love Renzo.
	♥ 12:30pm Rich in Washington: Tesco Vee did a rather nasty parody of The Continental on a Meatmen LP, but I cannot remember which one.
	♥ 12:31pm Franco Twinkie: I tried talking to girls like Renzo Cesana when I was in junior high school and it got me sent to the principals office.
	♥ 12:32pm Rich in Washington: Franco, did they also talk to you about the inappropriateness of your silk smoking jacket, ascot and cigarette on a cigarette holder?
	12:33pm Martinibomb: ^I miss smoking in school
	♥ 12:34pm chresti: I lived in Sherman Oaks in 85 to 95, seemed already gentrified then, compared to Echo Park in the 80s (which is now way gentrified)
	♥ 12:35pm Little Danny: Hi hi hi
	12:35pm johnk77: studio city has small houses which were all ready pretty expensive in the late seventies
	12:37pm Marie: I listened to the Wings albums over and over at home and at a friend's house (where we could "toke") :)
	♥ 12:37pm Franco Twinkie: Well Rich, no. If I had practiced in the mirror at home before I left the house, the results might have been a little different.
	12:38pm Marie: Hey UM, I grew up listening to those stations, just west of Chicago.
	12:39pm ken krimstein: I'm cool with it, Unc. Just as long as we all agree 'CFL had it by a drop over 'LS.
	12:39pm fleep: Dr. Demento drummed that PxS into everyone's brain around here
	🛒 ♥ 12:39pm Pedro in Arlington: Thanks for the proper version of Sky High, Uncle Mike. Of course I got in late and will now have to hit the archive. And I didn't check to see if my brother still had the entire Jigsaw album back in New York.
	12:40pm Martinibomb: I have not listened to rupture in a long time need to remedy that
	12:40pm dan: Nice Chris Squire like bass playing
	♥ 12:42pm Uncle Michael: Danny! Ken! (more than a drop) Pedro!
	12:42pm fleep: Still looking for a clip of The Continental online, maybe alll the kinescopes got lost. Meanwhile www.goretro.com...
	♥ 12:42pm Uncle Michael: I meant to play way more of that Rupture find! Some other time, I guess....
	♥ 12:43pm Uncle Michael: YW, Pedro!
	♥ 12:46pm Rich in Washington: Who can you truss when the Rupture comes? Praise Bob!
	🛒 ♥ 12:47pm Funky16Corners: This is cool!
	♥ 12:48pm Little Danny: The Hookworms track was fantastic. That bassline!
	12:49pm Alex In Illinois: @Funky16Corners: Yes, that's the one. When I learned what Walken was satirizing, I was surprised that there not more parodies of it.
	🛒 ♥ 12:49pm Brian in UK: Uncle.
	🛒 ♥ 12:51pm Brian in UK: Lovely full morning this evening.
	♥ 12:51pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Brian!
	🛒 ♥ 12:51pm Brian in UK: Thought Brian Eno never learnt to drive.
	♥ 12:52pm WR: It was down hill driving for Eno after this.
	♥ 12:55pm WR: Brian's newest. youtu.be...
	12:55pm dan: Eno must have been huffing paint when came up with this rambling. Ferry was the better Br(i)(y)an in Roxy Music.
	♥ 12:56pm Uncle Michael: You don't say.
	♥ 12:58pm WR: When Here Come the Warm Jets I played it at least one a day for a few months.
	12:59pm Marie: it's amazing to me what a fantastic album that is "Here Come the Warm Jets" and I have always wondered why Eno didn't/couldn't do much else to equal that (I know there was one other album that I thought was great)
	🛒 ♥ 1:00pm Funky16Corners: This sounds like a cover but the title doesn't translate to anything familiar
	♥ 1:00pm Uncle Michael: I need dutchtheo to translate this.
	🛒 ♥ 1:00pm Brian in UK: WR I see your Eno and raise you a Jonathan Pie. www.youtube.com...
	1:01pm Listening Out There: RE Eno...personally, I'm a big fan of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts...but that's a completely different can of content...
	♥ 1:01pm Uncle Michael: Another Green World? Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy?
	🛒 ♥ 1:02pm Brian in UK: Marie, Before and After Science is worth a shot. Think he made a decision to stop singing after that, only recently singing again.
	♥ 1:02pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Howdy, Uncle Michael and all the gang!!!!
	♥ 1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Before And After Science was the perfect Alka-Seltzer record when you had punk rock heartburn in 1978.
	♥ 1:05pm Uncle Michael: Granny!
	♥ 1:07pm Guido from Cologne: gee! The ma-na-Ma-Na Soundtrack!
	♥ 1:07pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): I like this Eno topic. I consider him a sort of boddhisatva.
	1:08pm dutchtheo: Back from dinner, aromatic golden colors, sounds as vague as it was, i could understand the lyrics, but didn't understand them, if you can understand me
	♥ 1:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Nick and Nora!
	1:12pm Marie: Hey, you all reminded me of his other albums--I see Before and After Science and Another Green World as being equal/similar to "Here Come.."--I guess they are all more similar to each other than his other work. Never Mind my earlier comment. I guess one could say he evolved, like artists and all of us, do...
	1:12pm dutchtheo: Oh yes it was geurige gouden tuinen (gardens)
	1:13pm Martinibomb: I'm with ya. Hate winter. Maybe 6" they say for PDX next week but we'll see....
	1:13pm Marie: I must add, that it was my first real love who turned me onto Eno and punk rock in general. Thank you, Bob!
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: Guido!
	♥ 1:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Martinibomb: ay! even half an inch of snow shuts down the Rose City!
	1:20pm Martinibomb: ^Sad but true
	1:20pm John from Florham park: Afternoon granny
	♥ 1:27pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): howdy, John from the mysterious and legendary Florham park!
	♥ 1:29pm chresti: Hi Granny!
	♥ 1:29pm CHUCK ROAST: Winter in the Mid-Atlantic. ...going up to 70 tomorrow.
	♥ 1:29pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Michael. Gotta cut out early. I have to go pull in the trash cans at my moms house before the street sweeper passes.
	♥ 1:30pm Uncle Michael: Se ya, Franco!
	♥ 1:30pm Roberto: YASSSS ELO
	1:30pm dan: ELO, a band I can never tire of
	1:30pm fleep: It's a Head trip
	1:31pm John from Florham park: @Geanny inot know if my town is that mysterious at all:)
	♥ 1:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Uncle Michael you are blowing my MIND> For decades i have been singing "And i think i'm going out of my head, cause i can't get it out of my head." FINALLY ON THE RADIO!!!
	♥ 1:32pm Uncle Michael: spoooky
	♥ 1:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i swear i was just about to post about the ELO song when it started. 2020 is gonna be GREAT, folx!!!!
	♥ 1:32pm Webhamster Henry: ELO is head-sticky.
	1:34pm Alex In Illinois: So he is singing: "Ocean's Daughter". To my sister and me, it sounded like:"Ocean's Doughnut".
	1:35pm Dean: Then there's "Walkin' on a wave chicane," which sounds like "...on a wave she came."
	♥ 1:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): now that my blown mind has reassembled, i can say howdy, chresti!
	♥ 1:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): my sweetie always sings, "the purpose of a man is to stuff a turkey and the purpose of a turkey is to stuff man…"
	1:37pm Dean: Saw ELO three times live. Opening acts were Widowmaker, Steve Hillage, and Little Feat.
	♥ 1:37pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	1:38pm Dean: Was listening yesterday to Tasavallan Presidenti c.1972. That Reg Wale track displayed similar colors.
	1:38pm geezerette: UM! Singing along and I'm not even driving! Thanks for playing Cole Porter last week. Listened to request show a day late & loved it! Howdy all!
	1:38pm Dean: Yes!
	♥ 1:39pm Rich in Washington: I am having fun. YOW!

	♥ 1:41pm chresti: Fun is always had at hinky dinky time!
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: I confess that I hate ELO. Ech! I am the Mel Coolie of ELO.
	1:41pm geezerette: BBs sounded "stoned". :)
	1:41pm Dean: See the inner sleeve here, second song, third line: https://www.discogs.com/Electric-Light-Orchestra-Eldorado-A-Symphony-By-The-Electric-Light-Orchestra/master/21685
	1:42pm Martinibomb: Oh gawd just SO fun it burns
	🛒 ♥ 1:42pm doctorjazz: Hello!
	1:42pm Dean: Actually, it's "...on a wave's chicane," possessive.
	1:44pm Dean: During the years I saw ELO live, I owned one record, an Amazing Korneyfone bootleg, which I gave to my buddy who had everything by the band. Since then I've acquired LPs and a purple vinyl 45rpm of "Fire on High."
	♥ 1:44pm Uncle Michael: geezerett! Simon! Doc!
	♥ 1:45pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): the other song i've sung for years, which seems rather hinky dinkyish, is "I know it's only rock n roll, but it's still rock n roll to me!"
	1:45pm ken krimstein: slam Stewart!
	1:46pm Funky16Corners: Where’s Mischa Auer when you need him?
	1:46pm geezerette: Swinging Bopology!
	♥ 1:47pm Uncle Michael: Ken knows his Byas!
	1:49pm ken krimstein: and my slam.
	1:50pm pacific standard simon: Don Byas, on the other hand, I will listen to for hours.
	♥ 1:50pm Uncle Michael: I'll bet you know your Slim and your Babs, too.

	1:51pm John from Florham park: Nice song I am hearing uncle mike

	2:04pm dan: XTC is just what the doctor ordered
	2:04pm ken krimstein: great transition...to towers of London...nice...
	2:04pm pacific standard simon: Small but mean. They take it out of you, but they put it back in. ;-)
	♥ 2:05pm Little Danny: Cockney Rebel = odd Can vibes
	♥ 2:05pm Roberto: I wanted to visit the Towers when I was in London last November but we didn't get around to it. We viewed them from London Bridge instead.
	♥ 2:05pm Roberto: Of course, this song was running through my head the whole time.
	2:05pm Marie: diggin the show here, UM (at work). Thank-ee kindly, sir.
	2:06pm ken krimstein: can
	♥ 2:06pm Uncle Michael: You folks are the best.
	2:10pm John from Florham park: @UM you are the best
	2:11pm pacific standard simon: I & UM are among the lucky few who have seen XTC perform that song.
	♥ 2:11pm Roberto: HELL to tha YES
	2:12pm dan: Phil Lynott, everyone’s favorite Afro-Irish bassist.
	🛒 ♥ 2:12pm holland oats: @pacific & @um where'd ya see xtc?
	2:13pm geezerette: UM, love your time machine. Happy happy happy!
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: holland, we were both at the same XTC show in Lawrence,KS!
	2:13pm Funky16Corners: Gotta bolt, Unk. Great show today!
	2:13pm Mark R: So cool to hear "The Cowboy Song"! My band used to play this in high school. Such an unlikely song for an Irish band to play, I always thought. Also always wondered why Thin Lizzy is never mentioned when the topic of great two-guitar lineups comes up--I thought they were great!
	♥ 2:14pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Larry!
	2:15pm ken krimstein: bill withers-esque
	♥ 2:15pm Uncle Michael: Mark!
	2:17pm Wilson in SO: Shit, I think Uncle Michael can tell I went to Panama City Beach (and liked it)
	2:17pm Mark R: Always liked this song musically, but I really thought the concept of shooting your girlfriend by the river was so horrible. What am I missing? (If I were a girl and my boyfriend was really into this song, I'd hightail it out of there, you betcha!)
	2:18pm fleep: Agreed, there are far better places
	♥ 2:18pm Uncle Michael: Music is chock full of murder ballads.
	♥ 2:18pm Uncle Michael: Wilson!
	2:19pm Mark R: I know, but the ones where the protagonist did it always freak me out a little. I don't know if I'm supposed to relate to killing people or what...(I guess I'm a little to squeamish for your sophisticated radio program.) I'm going to watch my Mr. Rogers Betamaxes now.
	2:20pm John from Florham park: Love this remake of this Neil Young song
	♥ 2:20pm Uncle Michael: Hug your knees to your chest and rock yourself slowly, Mark!
	2:20pm Mark R: I thought this was Dolly Parton, I really did. Lying in a burned-out basement, man, that's down and out.
	🛒 ♥ 2:21pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey!!!!!
	2:21pm Alex In Illinois: Like that old folk murder ballad "By the Banks of the Ohio". Is there any song in which something good happens by a river?
	♥ 2:21pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: I kinda like this version of Down By The River better, though I also don't get the lyrics.
	♥ 2:22pm CHUCK ROAST: Hey,thanks,Unk
	♥ 2:22pm Uncle Michael: YW, Chuck!
	2:22pm dan: As great as Neil Young is on record, I don’t recommend seeing him live. Worst concert I ever attended.
	2:22pm ken krimstein: killing it...but don't love the strings on this...but does neil care what I think? nah...
	2:23pm Mark R: Don't think so, Alex. BTW, hearing the real Neil Young after all these covers just further emphasizes the unique fabulousness of Mr. Young. Tributes are fine and dandy, but...
	2:23pm geezerette: Young is a great writer and I have no idea what any of it means!
	2:24pm Mark R: Bet he was still working with Jack Nietsche at this point, Ken. He was very big on those grandiose arrangements, a la "Broken Arrow"
	♥ 2:24pm Uncle Michael: on the day that she left, he died but it did not show
	2:26pm Alex in Illinois: There is that Gospel song, "Down By The Riverside".
	2:27pm Mark R: Uncle Michael, I definitely remember "The Big Ball" advertised on the inner sleeve of Reprise records in them days (early 70s).
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: I love that live Neil Young Velvet Underground tribute disc. Some teenage girl sold it to me at a yard sale. :-D
	2:28pm Wilson in SO: Oh hell yeah this is greasy
	♥ 2:29pm Uncle Michael: This single version is VERY different than the version on Truth.
	♥ 2:29pm Stanley: Well said Wilson in SO. And hello
	2:29pm geezerette: !!! :D
	♥ 2:30pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	🛒 ♥ 2:30pm holland oats: re xtc - thx didn't realize they ever even toured the us!
	♥ 2:30pm Stanley: Uncle!
	2:30pm Alex In Illinois: There is "Sweet Thames Flow Softly" where they fall in love and ... oh ...in the end, she leaves him. Dang!
	2:30pm Mark R: I've never heard this faster version of "Rock My Plimsoul" before!
	♥ 2:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Mark R: Tom Waits re: murder ballads: “These were the oral tabloids of the day….News just happens to be a meal best served hot.”
	♥ 2:31pm chresti: Alex, I agree, not many good things happen near rivers, or in the woods..
	2:32pm ken krimstein: FUZZ TONE!
	♥ 2:32pm Little Danny: This Grifs 45 is so gnarly
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: @Holland oats - I still have my ticket stub!
	2:32pm Mark R: Alls I'm saying is I'm agin killin' folks, Granny. (Unless, of course, they got it comin' to 'em.)
	2:33pm geezerette: Gnarly, yes indeed.
	♥ 2:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Mark R: well, of course!
	2:34pm βrian: OTOH: "Take me to the river/Wash me down/Cleanse my soul."
	♥ 2:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i've heard that some murder ballads were written by the condemned killer in order to pay for a proper burial
	2:34pm Mark R: Really digging your mix today, Uncle Michael!
	♥ 2:35pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:35pm geezerette: What Mark R. said!
	🛒 ♥ 2:36pm holland oats: @pacific ha cool
	2:36pm Mark R: I like how the instrumental intro was like two minutes long--I was actually surprised when the guy started singing!
	2:41pm geezerette: Just watched the animation. Ha ha, wow!
	2:43pm pacific standard simon: Gotta say, I love the library music.
	🛒 ♥ 2:46pm Pedro in Arlington: Dang. Killer Buddy rockabilly that stayed in the can until the 60s.
	♥ 2:47pm Uncle Michael: Yep, why, I have no idea.
	🛒 ♥ 2:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks, UM, nice to go out on a county set, fun show!
	2:49pm pacific standard simon: Yesterday's rerun of Dragnet took place in The Domino Bar, with cool Dominos on the wall. I want that!
	♥ 2:49pm Uncle Michael: Glad you could be here, Doc.
	2:49pm geezerette: UM spells FUN! Happy weekend, Michael and all you Rock Cats!
	2:54pm dan: Great show UM
	♥ 2:55pm Uncle Michael: Oops.Unintended live track.
	♥ 2:56pm chresti: Meesak!
	2:57pm geezerette: haha,abrupt!
	♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael: seems I lost the stream...for how long, I cannotsay.
	♥ 2:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): freeform for the deform!
	2:57pm fleep: Thanks, UM!
	♥ 2:58pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	♥ 2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone!
	2:58pm Listening Out There: Oh, drat. And the stream was playing so well today...
	2:58pm dan: Such a contrast between Sandy Eand that thing on the stream
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: Just about 30 seconds or so - and a really peculiar left turn it was!
	♥ 2:58pm Uncle Michael: Are you not hearing Fotheringay?
	♥ 2:59pm chresti: it's back
	3:00pm Listening Out There: I'm not. I just tried Bryce's FMU program, and that streamy's just fine...
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Something about the guitar on this Chris Gifford track reminds me of that Sultans Of Swing dude. Can't think of his name, right now. Urgh.
	♥ 3:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): we love you UM! thanks for the tunes!
	♥ 3:00pm Rich in Washington: Rattle rattle!
	3:00pm geezerette: Loud & clear!
	3:00pm Listening Out There: Of course, I'm on the other coast and streams are brought here by carrier pigeon...
	♥ 3:01pm chresti: I just restarted the player, can hear UM
	♥ 3:01pm Rich in Washington: It came back. Was only out for a couple of seconds.
	3:02pm geezerette: Hey, Rich!
	3:02pm Listening Out There: Now I hear HDT. Did what chresti said, closed the popup player, refreshed the page, reopened the popup. Better than doing real work. Thanks, UM!
	♥ 3:04pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM!
	♥ 3:04pm Uncle Michael: Bye my friends!
	3:04pm pacific standard simon: As usual, I play this show for my co-workers.
	♥ 3:06pm WR: Buh bye for now UM.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 10, 2020

View Uncle Michael's profile

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.

	12:19pm fleep: The Hotel remains. The Lodge is being replaced by an Equinox gym and an Erewhon market. Can you say gentrification?

	♥ 12:37pm Franco Twinkie: Well Rich, no. If I had practiced in the mirror at home before I left the house, the results might have been a little different.
	12:38pm Marie: Hey UM, I grew up listening to those stations, just west of Chicago.
	12:39pm ken krimstein: I'm cool with it, Unc. Just as long as we all agree 'CFL had it by a drop over 'LS.

	🛒 ♥ 12:39pm Pedro in Arlington: Thanks for the proper version of Sky High, Uncle Mike. Of course I got in late and will now have to hit the archive. And I didn't check to see if my brother still had the entire Jigsaw album back in New York.

	♥ 12:48pm Little Danny: The Hookworms track was fantastic. That bassline!
	12:49pm Alex In Illinois: @Funky16Corners: Yes, that's the one. When I learned what Walken was satirizing, I was surprised that there not more parodies of it.
	🛒 ♥ 12:49pm Brian in UK: Uncle.
	🛒 ♥ 12:51pm Brian in UK: Lovely full morning this evening.
	♥ 12:51pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Brian!
	🛒 ♥ 12:51pm Brian in UK: Thought Brian Eno never learnt to drive.
	♥ 12:52pm WR: It was down hill driving for Eno after this.
	♥ 12:55pm WR: Brian's newest. youtu.be...
	12:55pm dan: Eno must have been huffing paint when came up with this rambling. Ferry was the better Br(i)(y)an in Roxy Music.
	♥ 12:56pm Uncle Michael: You don't say.
	♥ 12:58pm WR: When Here Come the Warm Jets I played it at least one a day for a few months.
	12:59pm Marie: it's amazing to me what a fantastic album that is "Here Come the Warm Jets" and I have always wondered why Eno didn't/couldn't do much else to equal that (I know there was one other album that I thought was great)
	🛒 ♥ 1:00pm Funky16Corners: This sounds like a cover but the title doesn't translate to anything familiar
	♥ 1:00pm Uncle Michael: I need dutchtheo to translate this.
	🛒 ♥ 1:00pm Brian in UK: WR I see your Eno and raise you a Jonathan Pie. www.youtube.com...
	1:01pm Listening Out There: RE Eno...personally, I'm a big fan of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts...but that's a completely different can of content...
	♥ 1:01pm Uncle Michael: Another Green World? Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy?
	🛒 ♥ 1:02pm Brian in UK: Marie, Before and After Science is worth a shot. Think he made a decision to stop singing after that, only recently singing again.
	♥ 1:02pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Howdy, Uncle Michael and all the gang!!!!
	♥ 1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Before And After Science was the perfect Alka-Seltzer record when you had punk rock heartburn in 1978.
	♥ 1:05pm Uncle Michael: Granny!
	♥ 1:07pm Guido from Cologne: gee! The ma-na-Ma-Na Soundtrack!
	♥ 1:07pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): I like this Eno topic. I consider him a sort of boddhisatva.
	1:08pm dutchtheo: Back from dinner, aromatic golden colors, sounds as vague as it was, i could understand the lyrics, but didn't understand them, if you can understand me
	♥ 1:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Nick and Nora!
	1:12pm Marie: Hey, you all reminded me of his other albums--I see Before and After Science and Another Green World as being equal/similar to "Here Come.."--I guess they are all more similar to each other than his other work. Never Mind my earlier comment. I guess one could say he evolved, like artists and all of us, do...
	1:12pm dutchtheo: Oh yes it was geurige gouden tuinen (gardens)
	1:13pm Martinibomb: I'm with ya. Hate winter. Maybe 6" they say for PDX next week but we'll see....
	1:13pm Marie: I must add, that it was my first real love who turned me onto Eno and punk rock in general. Thank you, Bob!
	♥ 1:15pm Uncle Michael: Guido!
	♥ 1:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Martinibomb: ay! even half an inch of snow shuts down the Rose City!

	2:04pm dan: XTC is just what the doctor ordered
	2:04pm ken krimstein: great transition...to towers of London...nice...
	2:04pm pacific standard simon: Small but mean. They take it out of you, but they put it back in. ;-)
	♥ 2:05pm Little Danny: Cockney Rebel = odd Can vibes
	♥ 2:05pm Roberto: I wanted to visit the Towers when I was in London last November but we didn't get around to it. We viewed them from London Bridge instead.
	♥ 2:05pm Roberto: Of course, this song was running through my head the whole time.
	2:05pm Marie: diggin the show here, UM (at work). Thank-ee kindly, sir.
	2:06pm ken krimstein: can
	♥ 2:06pm Uncle Michael: You folks are the best.
	2:10pm John from Florham park: @UM you are the best
	2:11pm pacific standard simon: I & UM are among the lucky few who have seen XTC perform that song.
	♥ 2:11pm Roberto: HELL to tha YES
	2:12pm dan: Phil Lynott, everyone’s favorite Afro-Irish bassist.
	🛒 ♥ 2:12pm holland oats: @pacific & @um where'd ya see xtc?
	2:13pm geezerette: UM, love your time machine. Happy happy happy!
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: holland, we were both at the same XTC show in Lawrence,KS!
	2:13pm Funky16Corners: Gotta bolt, Unk. Great show today!
	2:13pm Mark R: So cool to hear "The Cowboy Song"! My band used to play this in high school. Such an unlikely song for an Irish band to play, I always thought. Also always wondered why Thin Lizzy is never mentioned when the topic of great two-guitar lineups comes up--I thought they were great!
	♥ 2:14pm Uncle Michael: See ya, Larry!
	2:15pm ken krimstein: bill withers-esque
	♥ 2:15pm Uncle Michael: Mark!
	2:17pm Wilson in SO: Shit, I think Uncle Michael can tell I went to Panama City Beach (and liked it)
	2:17pm Mark R: Always liked this song musically, but I really thought the concept of shooting your girlfriend by the river was so horrible. What am I missing? (If I were a girl and my boyfriend was really into this song, I'd hightail it out of there, you betcha!)
	2:18pm fleep: Agreed, there are far better places
	♥ 2:18pm Uncle Michael: Music is chock full of murder ballads.
	♥ 2:18pm Uncle Michael: Wilson!
	2:19pm Mark R: I know, but the ones where the protagonist did it always freak me out a little. I don't know if I'm supposed to relate to killing people or what...(I guess I'm a little to squeamish for your sophisticated radio program.) I'm going to watch my Mr. Rogers Betamaxes now.
	2:20pm John from Florham park: Love this remake of this Neil Young song
	♥ 2:20pm Uncle Michael: Hug your knees to your chest and rock yourself slowly, Mark!
	2:20pm Mark R: I thought this was Dolly Parton, I really did. Lying in a burned-out basement, man, that's down and out.
	🛒 ♥ 2:21pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey!!!!!
	2:21pm Alex In Illinois: Like that old folk murder ballad "By the Banks of the Ohio". Is there any song in which something good happens by a river?
	♥ 2:21pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	2:21pm pacific standard simon: I kinda like this version of Down By The River better, though I also don't get the lyrics.
	♥ 2:22pm CHUCK ROAST: Hey,thanks,Unk
	♥ 2:22pm Uncle Michael: YW, Chuck!
	2:22pm dan: As great as Neil Young is on record, I don’t recommend seeing him live. Worst concert I ever attended.
	2:22pm ken krimstein: killing it...but don't love the strings on this...but does neil care what I think? nah...
	2:23pm Mark R: Don't think so, Alex. BTW, hearing the real Neil Young after all these covers just further emphasizes the unique fabulousness of Mr. Young. Tributes are fine and dandy, but...
	2:23pm geezerette: Young is a great writer and I have no idea what any of it means!
	2:24pm Mark R: Bet he was still working with Jack Nietsche at this point, Ken. He was very big on those grandiose arrangements, a la "Broken Arrow"
	♥ 2:24pm Uncle Michael: on the day that she left, he died but it did not show
	2:26pm Alex in Illinois: There is that Gospel song, "Down By The Riverside".
	2:27pm Mark R: Uncle Michael, I definitely remember "The Big Ball" advertised on the inner sleeve of Reprise records in them days (early 70s).
	2:28pm pacific standard simon: I love that live Neil Young Velvet Underground tribute disc. Some teenage girl sold it to me at a yard sale. :-D
	2:28pm Wilson in SO: Oh hell yeah this is greasy
	♥ 2:29pm Uncle Michael: This single version is VERY different than the version on Truth.
	♥ 2:29pm Stanley: Well said Wilson in SO. And hello
	2:29pm geezerette: !!! :D
	♥ 2:30pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	🛒 ♥ 2:30pm holland oats: re xtc - thx didn't realize they ever even toured the us!
	♥ 2:30pm Stanley: Uncle!
	2:30pm Alex In Illinois: There is "Sweet Thames Flow Softly" where they fall in love and ... oh ...in the end, she leaves him. Dang!
	2:30pm Mark R: I've never heard this faster version of "Rock My Plimsoul" before!
	♥ 2:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Mark R: Tom Waits re: murder ballads: “These were the oral tabloids of the day….News just happens to be a meal best served hot.”
	♥ 2:31pm chresti: Alex, I agree, not many good things happen near rivers, or in the woods..
	2:32pm ken krimstein: FUZZ TONE!
	♥ 2:32pm Little Danny: This Grifs 45 is so gnarly
	2:32pm pacific standard simon: @Holland oats - I still have my ticket stub!
	2:32pm Mark R: Alls I'm saying is I'm agin killin' folks, Granny. (Unless, of course, they got it comin' to 'em.)
	2:33pm geezerette: Gnarly, yes indeed.
	♥ 2:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Mark R: well, of course!
	2:34pm βrian: OTOH: "Take me to the river/Wash me down/Cleanse my soul."
	♥ 2:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i've heard that some murder ballads were written by the condemned killer in order to pay for a proper burial
	2:34pm Mark R: Really digging your mix today, Uncle Michael!
	♥ 2:35pm Uncle Michael: Thanks!
	2:35pm geezerette: What Mark R. said!
	🛒 ♥ 2:36pm holland oats: @pacific ha cool
	2:36pm Mark R: I like how the instrumental intro was like two minutes long--I was actually surprised when the guy started singing!
	2:41pm geezerette: Just watched the animation. Ha ha, wow!
	2:43pm pacific standard simon: Gotta say, I love the library music.
	🛒 ♥ 2:46pm Pedro in Arlington: Dang. Killer Buddy rockabilly that stayed in the can until the 60s.
	♥ 2:47pm Uncle Michael: Yep, why, I have no idea.
	🛒 ♥ 2:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks, UM, nice to go out on a county set, fun show!
	2:49pm pacific standard simon: Yesterday's rerun of Dragnet took place in The Domino Bar, with cool Dominos on the wall. I want that!
	♥ 2:49pm Uncle Michael: Glad you could be here, Doc.
	2:49pm geezerette: UM spells FUN! Happy weekend, Michael and all you Rock Cats!

	♥ 2:58pm chresti: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	♥ 2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone!
	2:58pm Listening Out There: Oh, drat. And the stream was playing so well today...
	2:58pm dan: Such a contrast between Sandy Eand that thing on the stream
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: Just about 30 seconds or so - and a really peculiar left turn it was!
	♥ 2:58pm Uncle Michael: Are you not hearing Fotheringay?
	♥ 2:59pm chresti: it's back
	3:00pm Listening Out There: I'm not. I just tried Bryce's FMU program, and that streamy's just fine...
	3:00pm pacific standard simon: Something about the guitar on this Chris Gifford track reminds me of that Sultans Of Swing dude. Can't think of his name, right now. Urgh.
	♥ 3:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): we love you UM! thanks for the tunes!
	♥ 3:00pm Rich in Washington: Rattle rattle!
	3:00pm geezerette: Loud & clear!
	3:00pm Listening Out There: Of course, I'm on the other coast and streams are brought here by carrier pigeon...
	♥ 3:01pm chresti: I just restarted the player, can hear UM
	♥ 3:01pm Rich in Washington: It came back. Was only out for a couple of seconds.
	3:02pm geezerette: Hey, Rich!
	3:02pm Listening Out There: Now I hear HDT. Did what chresti said, closed the popup player, refreshed the page, reopened the popup. Better than doing real work. Thanks, UM!

	♥ 3:04pm Uncle Michael: Bye my friends!
	3:04pm pacific standard simon: As usual, I play this show for my co-workers.
