Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from July 5, 2024 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.

The idea of Gross National Happiness as a guiding principle for the government reaches back centuries in Bhutan. The penal code of Bhutan states: “the purpose of the government is to provide happiness to its people. If we cannot provide happiness, there is no reason for the government to exist.”

Improvisation in Rawk busting out of the era of aiming for 2 & 1/2 minute Pop Single format ...as motivated in no small part by Psychedelics - & also LPs coming to the fore - & Live venues improving to where they should stretch out
...was definitely informed by the precedent of Jazz. TheBYrdS' '8 Miles High' would be one notable signpost...

One of Handke's novels, translated in English as The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, was adapted into a movie by Wenders, Die Angst des Tormanns beim Elfmeter. I read the book on a train from Lyon to Barcelona, haven't seen the movie.
