Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Options

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.

Used to see Love American Style a lot as a kid, even though it was mostly that annoying awful brand of frustration/hiding/stammering/lying comedy. It makes me think of Stuart Margolin, who was in a bunch of the show's quickie interstitial blackout bits.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time EFD and I were hanging out poolside at my Wexler home in Palm Springs...

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:36pm Mike East:

I had a housemate named Bryan Ferry once, who was a complete d-bag. Kept me away from Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music for years just because of the bad association with the name, and that makes me even more mad at that creep I used to live with.

Hi Gaylord--Haven't really listened to R.E.M. since the Internet came along and now I can look up the lyrics of stuff from 30years ago. I'm not sure that's a good thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:23pm Gaylord Fields:

@Pedro G.: They work better as impressionistic strokes on a canvas than as hard sculptures.

Here's some '80s music that holds up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:26pm doctorjazz:

Mats!!!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:26pm coelacanth:

Pedro G -my take on r.e.m.: first 4 albums are nearly thoroughly excellent; then i made a cd comp of my faves from albums 5-8; and a comp from albums 9 through 11- which i never listen to!
  1:26pm Kris Holmes:

yay replacements!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:27pm coelacanth:

UM-yeah it does!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:27pm Pedro G.:

@Gaylord--I do find that R.E.M. is good for listening at work. Nothing really to distract. Fine musicians. And yes @coelacanth--I listen mostly to the IRS stuff although there are some nice surprises on the stuff that came much later and got panned.

Lou does such a great job on this song.

also, Willie Dixon & Koko Taylor "Insane Asylum" is strong contender

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:42pm coelacanth:

we made fun of country music when i was little. then my dad got really into it- esp Marty Robbins and 1-2 others.
i liked some (like Marty) and hated some,but it was weird 'cause we knew it was the influence of some outside woman in his life.

I would've watched the Cab video but didn't want to sit through the Nexium ad. Hi all :)
Avatar 1:47pm Flash Strap:

the introduction of hawaiian guitar and the subsequent development of country music as we know it just totally bends my mind in general
Avatar 1:48pm chromaphone:

The first time I heard Marty Robbins was on a stellar Guitar Player country guitar collection and the Robbins song was the only song I didn't like but now I like his cheesy vocal style years later.

hate to leave but my gal needs a ride to the mechanic. adios amigos
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:49pm Uncle Michael:

Hi chromaphone. Good to see you.

Hawaiian players certainly influenced steel playing but I think the steel came to the fore because it cut through the volume of amplified music better than fiddles did. It's too bad Lane's not here to school us today.

Thank you Uncle Michael
ciao y'all
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:12pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks for spending time, coelacanth.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:12pm Gaylord Fields:

I'm slow on the draw once again! I should have learned to type.

I've been in Yokohama at night, nothing too special going on (ok, I was a a kid, and wouldn't know).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:13pm doctorjazz:

@GaylordFields, you're right, that's what happens with a quick Google search. My bad! (they covered 2 Moody Blues tunes...)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael:

This Willie record slays me. What was he going for with this in '68...commercially speaking?
Avatar 2:17pm still b/p:

A blendy thing of Bobby's Mack the Knife and Wayne's Danke Schoen and the theme from It's a Mad Mad Mad World.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:18pm Gaylord Fields:

@doctorjazz: Google wins this round, but i stand unbowed! Like John Henry vs. the steam hammer. (Wait — John Henry didn't stand unbowed in defeat. He beat that contraption and then dropped dead.)

So this is where the Beatles got this from!

My wife loves both Bill Murrays. I was surprised she had the whole collection of Billy & Ada when I met her over 8 years ago, in ol' Mexico.
Avatar 2:22pm chromaphone:

Wow Buddy Merrill has a bunch of weird stuff on Spotify. Thanks for turning me onto him Unkie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:23pm Uncle Michael:

That's so cool, ngh.

You're welcome, chromaphone!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:24pm Uncle Michael:

Billy was clearly the biggest recording star, pre-Jolson, judging from how much of his stuff I've uncovered.
Avatar 2:25pm still b/p:

Was just looking something up a while ago during this show on an old Hinky Dinky playlist, and a Martha Tilton discussion happened to be on there. What a cohinkydink.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:26pm Uncle Michael:

I'll say.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:29pm Artie Haywire:

Hello, Fred!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:30pm Uncle Michael:

Excellent. Thanks.

Hi Artie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:30pm Gaylord Fields:

@chromaphone: The Beatles learned it from Emile Ford and the Checkmates' early-60s UK hit version.
Avatar 2:31pm chromaphone:

Thanks much GF, I was wondering.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:34pm Mike East:

Billy Murray seems to show up on the antique phonograph program more than any other artist, from what I can tell.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:35pm Uncle Michael:

He was prolific because he was successful.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...if it's gonna turn everything into dogs, why not just call it 'dogdream'. How about a cat version?
...I'm just tired of lurkin'...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:42pm Uncle Michael:

Hi Rev...I agree...it's dogs all the way down...apparently.

CDC warned this week -- for real -- not to kiss your chickens.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:44pm Uncle Michael:

There goes my Saturday night.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:46pm listener james from westwood:

Hah, I'd only every heard Tiny Tim's version of this! Capital!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:47pm listener james from westwood:

still b/p: That sounds like a saucy, "Laugh-In"-style expression: "How's that kiss your chickens?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:47pm Uncle Michael:

Top Drawer!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:48pm Rich in Washington:

I'm really starting to appreciate these 78 rpm era songs. I might have R. Crumb's disease. I'm breaking out in tweed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:50pm Uncle Michael:

High Rich. These records certainly have appeal for me...obviously.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

@Rich: - new name for the Antique Music show ('Breaking Out in Tweed')...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:50pm efd:

Greetings, UM! I've heard most of the show but haven't been by my computer until now.
Avatar 2:51pm still b/p:

You can have swell parties like Steve Buscemi and his buddies in Ghost World.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:52pm Uncle Michael:

Hi Evan. There's life away from a computer?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:53pm Rich in Washington:

An old timey record collector friend told me that that party scene in Ghost World is uncannily accurate
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:54pm Uncle Michael:

I'm fond of the Blues Hammer scene.
Avatar 2:54pm still b/p:

...except for the attendance of Scarlett and Thora, presumably and sadly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:56pm SeanG:

Long live Zwigoff!
Avatar 2:56pm chromaphone:

God I have seen so many Blues Hammer clones over the years sadly.
Avatar 2:57pm ndbob:

excellent show UM!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:57pm Gaylord Fields:

This is likely the one Beatles song I've played the most on my own show. Perfect close, UM!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:57pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks everyone. I'll be back...next week!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:58pm doctorjazz:

Great show, fun, who are these guys closing it?
Avatar ♥ 2:59pm duke:

Thanks much UM
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:59pm listener james from westwood:

Smashing show, UM! Thanks, and a safe weekend, all!
Avatar 3:02pm chromaphone:
