	12:06pm HyperDose: Oooh new mixer indeed. What did ya get UM?!
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael The font on your playlist is all extra special like. I like! Is that new, or did I just have a stroke?
	12:06pm northguineahills: Got two hours of sleep, but a lot of work done during Doug's show (somehow). Gonna take a wee nap before throwing job apps at the wall (got interview at a place I actually want to work at).
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: D&R Webstation Thanks, Doug! ngh!

	12:08pm doctorjazz: Hard to tell In the office, from my iPad to my Zeppelin Mini it sounds quite good.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Andres!
	12:11pm HyperDose: @UM Very clean! No nonsense, plug-n-play. I dig it. :)
	🛒 12:11pm dutchtheo: Hey Uncle, Hinkys and Pedro & Pollitos!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:12pm sinner: I stubbed my toe.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Sinner! Save your stub so you can re-enter.

	12:16pm Spinning Giant: I had no ides how desperately I needed some "Bibbity-Bobbity-Salagadooloo" VooDoo today, but damnit! I sure as heck did!!! :D)))

	12:16pm Cmurtha: It is sounding good UM. I'd say, maybe a bit "clearer" forgive my lack of audio-phile and audio engineering jargon. But, I got fancy headphones and an amp and it sounds nice. Though, you always sound good. I have noticed since the transition to pandemic mode the alt stream DJs tend to have better audio quality than the at home main streamers. Also volume has been low on the mainstream on some shows.
	12:16pm duke: Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo to you all.
	12:16pm dan: Annie Oakley and the Cowardly Lion.
	12:16pm Spinning Giant: @Stork LOL!!!!

	12:20pm rw: My dad knew the words to this one.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	12:23pm Stork: My sadistic older brother would just keep singing this song until - well, I HAD to kill him, can you blame me?
	12:23pm HyperDose: @Phillippe Annapolis is beautiful. I'll grab a kayak and meet you out there!
	12:23pm Andres: Anyone else using Safari for the playlist have the Post Comment button cut off from the page layout? It is fine for other show pages. I switched to chrome where it is partially cut off, but accessible. Not that I have an immediate need to post anything important or even intelligent but it could happen :)
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: We won't tell, Stork. HyperDose!
	12:24pm dan: Do I sense a theme in today's show
	12:24pm Stork: Oh, shit! I didn't dare tequest 3 little fishies, but did i want to hear it next? uh, yup!
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: But you wanted to hear Ish Kabibble. Am I right?
	12:25pm Stork: My mom sang this song to us endlessly. No, I didn't kill her.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Andres, thanks for that report. I might have overcooked the css.
	12:25pm Stork: Actually I thought this was Betty Boop (can't rememverr her real name) singing this.

	12:28pm Uncle Michael: anyone else have a cut off post comment button?
	12:28pm dan: "Praise the Lord and pass the ammo".
	🛒 12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MODENA JAB #2 !! Sorted. THANKS Dolly Parton.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Richard Thompson all over this, of course.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: congrats Rev!
	🛒 12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - saw them tour together.
	12:30pm dan: Did Richard Thompson write the song and/or just play on the Loudon track?
	12:32pm Jeff Moore: But are you using the fancy new board today?
	12:33pm dan: I can hear the resemblance in voice between Loudon and Rufus.
	12:34pm Stork: Moe Howard so ripped off Ish Kabbible's look.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! Yes!
	12:39pm northguineahills: Spanky and the Gang, that goes WAYYY back (although my parents were in college back then) (I have a thing for educational songs)
	12:39pm Stork: Nice board. Do I spy 4 stereo and one mono channel?
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Loudon wrote it all by himself, dan.
	12:39pm Jeff g. via app: Hello! Good recovering-from-first-vax-shot music here, UM.

	12:40pm Stork: Congrats, brother Jeff!
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: 2 and 4, Stork.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: I have many illuminated buttons. Don't tempt me...I might press one.
	12:42pm Jeff Moore: But do any of those buttons have chimp noises?
	12:43pm Jeff g. via app: 🎶 everyone must get shot 🎶
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: DON'T TEMPT ME!
	12:44pm northguineahills: @UM: I get gainfully employed and donate (belatefully) to your show, will, you play power noise?
	🛒 12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they keep those buttons out in Topeka for a reason man ! ...the DJ thing is a front : you know UM is a heavy dude right ? ...Like - Superman is from Kansas ...& there's numerological clues relating to JFK ...& ...Pizzagate ...
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Nothing would surprise me, ngh.
	12:45pm northguineahills: huh, a cumbia rekkid I don't have....
	12:46pm Andres: ¡Cumbia! This one is great!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Andres, you'll get used to my cumbia fetish.
	12:49pm northguineahills: UM's cumbia fetish is maybe only second to mine. It was former WFMU dj /rupture that got me into it, and motivated me to take dj tour in Mexico....
	12:50pm Doug Schulkind: I believe there is an OTC ointment for cumbia fetish.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: I wish I could get Jace to return my email!
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: I have the ROTC ointment.
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Doug - to cure or lubricate it ?? Asking for ...somebody...
	12:51pm Andres: You can only treat the condition. There is no cure.
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no Grasshopper - to syncopate it...
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Having control room mute on the mixer is changing my life!
	12:53pm northguineahills: wait, ROTC was my nyc band....
	12:54pm northguineahills: we don't kink shame music fetishes here...
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: no guilty music fetishes
	12:54pm northguineahills: (Rubaiyats of the Cicadas was the band).
	12:55pm listening out there: What is this thing called Hink?
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: lot!
	🛒 12:55pm listener 126464: Spain holding on line 3
	🛒 12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I knew Aretha wudn't gonna sit there & just croon ...
	12:56pm dan: Aretha Franklin?
	12:56pm Andres: The Kinks. A whole other fetish.
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: This gal Franklin is pretty good. Does she have any other records out?
	12:56pm chresti: I see a thing in the corner that wasn't there before.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: Yes, dan. Simply credited as "Aretha" on this album. Her brief flirtation with the mononym.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: what thing, chresti?
	12:59pm HyperDose: Isn't that redundant? A kink is a fetish, and vice versa.
	12:59pm johnk77: audio quality excellent today Post comment! button usable but bottom third of button is cut off on mac chrome browser
	12:59pm northguineahills: The Genius series on Arethra is actually rather decent. (give it a gander).
	1:00pm chresti: It looks like speakers in an oldy timey cabinet.
	1:01pm northguineahills: @Hyperdose: from my understanding, a kind a specific less then usual sexual arousal. A fetish, is a group of kinks. (my sexual tendancies are very boring, so I can be wrong, it's what some of my friends tell me).
	1:02pm northguineahills: UM's Spanish pronunciation has improved in the last few years.
	🛒 1:03pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning! Good luck NorthGuineaHills.
	1:03pm listening out there: Got second shot a couple days ago. No problems!
	1:04pm Paul from Toronto: You're welcome
	1:05pm northguineahills: merci, Sweet Corn Lizzie (trying to stay awake. B/tn my bday and my bros. this week, I wasn't expecting a last minute interview)
	1:05pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Still waiting for my turn to get stuck. I'm just hoping the ridiculous Bob Odenkirk action movie is still in theaters by the time I'm vaxxed up!
	🛒 1:05pm Franco Twinkie: I got slammed with the second poke, but when I rebounded I felt like tearing out bushes and trees with my bare hands.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Oscar!
	1:06pm Andres: Franco, you've taken up landscaping as a hobby then?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Franco, come visit. I can put you to work.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: john! you snuck in!
	1:08pm Irene: Listening and lurking today
	1:09pm dan: Got the NY Post in front of me and there’s an article about the Tina Turner doc on HBO.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Irene!
	🛒 1:10pm Franco Twinkie: No chance Andres. I still avoid yardwork at all costs, but for some perverse reason if I felt like doing something besides drawing pictures and drinking coffee.....
	1:11pm chresti: LUCAS at the controls
	1:11pm HyperDose: @ngh I looked it up. You and I are what the kids call "vanilla"! No issue with that. I love a nice vanilla malted. :D
	1:12pm Lizardner Dave !: Lucas!
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lucas got yer back Engineer...
	🛒 1:16pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I've got today off and am going to spend it trying to cull through the enormous piles of old New Yorkers in my "office". I can't just toss them, FOMO
	1:17pm northguineahills: @Hyperdose: yeah, i have friends whom's sexual proclivities are more exciting then mine (way past the TMI stage)
	1:17pm HyperDose: @Sweet Corn Lizzie - I hear ya. Things happened and you deserve to know about them!
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Open a doctor's office, Lizzie.
	🛒 1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Original vs. Beatles ...sorry for the obvious question ... Mr.Lennon did it justice awright... love this tho'...
	1:18pm northguineahills: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm still going through my 2017 The Wire magazines. When I finish them, I leave them in a bus shelter, and hope someone enjoys them.
	🛒 1:19pm listener 126464: Current New Yorker has a nice article about Miriam Linna- www.newyorker.com...
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beatles had a certain amphetamine energy when the switch got flipped...
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: So great to hear a cut from "Chet Baker Sings." Had anyone here seen the quasi-biographical film from Showtime, "Almost Blue," starring Ethan Hawke as Mr. Baker? Not bad, with some really good music.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Gerry! I have not.
	1:22pm northguineahills: thanks, listener 126464!
	1:25pm Gerry from Miami: And thanks, Uncle Michael, for those two gorgeous tunes from Aretha and Dionne Warwick. Diamonds among the zirconia.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: My pleasure, Gerry.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Thx listener 126464.
	1:30pm Andres: Well done, Franco!
	🛒 1:31pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: @northguineahills I tear out articles I want to read and put them in the bathroom so I feel if I put them in a laundromat or something they'd just annoy people.
	1:31pm Gerry from Miami: Damn, that Franco character who spilled his coffee sure sounds a lot like actor Charlie Sheen.
	🛒 1:33pm Franco Twinkie: I am indeed! But, like everybody else I feel the call of Spring. I just might go outside and ponder the disaster that is our front yard...but not just yet!
	1:34pm northguineahills: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: When I find free internet jukeboxes at bars/clubs, I fill them up w/ stuff I like to annoy the crowd and leave (probably wouldn't work at some clubs in NYC).
	1:35pm northguineahills: Not usually a Elvis Costello fan, but, I like this!
	1:36pm Stork: Wow, first time I've heard this version, though i knew it was out there. Tina Turner does a great version too - with Herbie H.
	🛒 1:36pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yes! Joni is a fasinating study in contradictions. And such a lovable old crank!
	🛒 1:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dear Elvis, please stick with rock n roll, thanks But I agree Joni is a lovable old crank
	1:37pm johnk77: warmed up about 10 degrees in the last hour here in nyc
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ♏︎Scorpio Sista. You do us so proud Joni.
	1:40pm barrett785: Springtime for Dinks!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Pat! Put on some pants!
	🛒 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This succeeds - & I dig the range - tho' I'd agree ElvisC's voice is better suited to the Rawks.
	1:41pm barrett785: maybe next year ;)
	1:43pm Gerry from Miami: Remembering when Joni's album, "The Hissing of Summer Lawns," was released, Rolling Stone magazine called it the "worst album of the year." A lot they know about music! Elvis does a good job on "Edith" here. But Tina Turner also covers it on Herbie Hancock's Grammy-winning Album of the Year, "The Joni Letters." Excellent, as always.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: I need to check out Tina's version.
	1:44pm northguineahills: UM is a wanted man in Topeka!
	1:45pm dan: This is like a CCR knock off band.
	🛒 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone should make a book of historically upside-down RollingStone reviews. Or not even.
	1:45pm Jeff g. via app: Good choogle.
	🛒 1:45pm Franco Twinkie: Elvis and Joni both will/did go out of there way to follow their own muse, even though the results sometimes baffled and angered their fans. But hey, if you need to hear Watching The Detectives or For The Roses for that particular spine tingling thrill, they are eternally trapped on vinyl, have at it.
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: ngh leans in and listens
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Well said, Franco. I've done alright letting them have their heads.
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco true. Tho' I think Joni has the edge on ElvisC here...
	1:47pm northguineahills: *thinks of Johnny Cash's Wanted Man".
	🛒 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw ElvisC open for Dylan - & wasn't even expecting him !! A great bonus! ElvisC did only solo acoustic - & Bob just the band. That was canny, I think... No damn complaints here I can tell you.
	🛒 1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& yerknow Joni has the edge on pretty much everyone...
	1:51pm Pedro in Arlington: Instrumental "Spill the Wine" always reminds me of bed music used by the late great Joe Frank.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! I hear singing!
	1:52pm Pedro in Arlington: For sure UM, but those first few bars made me expect Joe's incredible voice and wild tales.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: ahh, yes
	1:53pm Andres: Love this!!!
	1:53pm KWilde: Just made it - will have to catch the archive
	1:54pm Uncle Michael: Key!
	🛒 1:58pm Franco Twinkie: I saw Joni at the Anaheim Convention Center in 1974 when she was touring Court and Spark, and Elvis in 1978 at Hollywood High. In both cases, seat were torn out, curtains started on fire, and the audience had multiple orgasms. Both shows caught for posterity if anyone need proof. Is any artist capable of operating at such a high level for eternity? Me thinks not.
	1:59pm Stork: Love the Boz, love the Lowell!
	🛒 1:59pm Brian in UK: Uncle
	1:59pm johnk77: allen toussaint the composer bonnie raitt performed this as what do you want the boy to do? new topic joni mitchell was prince's favorite artist
	🛒 2:00pm Franco Twinkie: Don't even get me started on Lowell George.
	🛒 2:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco you seen some damn shows man !
	2:01pm johnk77: lowell george lived on blow, tequila, and no sleep in the late seventies
	🛒 2:01pm Franco Twinkie: I have RR. That's because I was a dedicated youngster who lived in Los Angeles.
	2:02pm joe: 'ello folks
	2:03pm joe: I grew up one town over from Teaneck the town the label is named for.
	🛒 2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: See - UM plays the Move version...
	2:05pm barrett785: God Damn! I was just talking about Rock-n-Roll.
	2:05pm dan: @joe Would that be Englewood?
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: john, that's right. his candle ran out of wick...and wax.
	2:06pm northguineahills: The Move!
	2:08pm dan: Do Ya without the strings and a whole lot of cowbell.
	2:08pm doctorjazz: Do Ya is up there in my mind as the BEST SONG EVER!!!
	2:08pm still b/p: Sounds like the later version on a portable radio on the porch.
	2:08pm joe: @dan other direction Bogota
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: still b/p!
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RobinZander - Man of 1,000 Voices... he got this.
	2:13pm northguineahills: Ok, now you just hit the sweet spots, UM (Cheap Trick).
	2:14pm Paul from Toronto: Yeah, that first album was the best
	2:18pm Rich in Washington: sounding great in the kitchen!
	🛒 2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...suddenly it's the best Festival that never could be...
	2:19pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	2:21pm still b/p: With Zander talk, I'm reminded, for better or worse, of Damone in Fast Times, trying to sell tickets to an indifferent prospect in the stands after school. How is that helpful, Memory?
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: "I want YOU...to want MEEEEE."
	2:23pm Roberto: Eye yam Sue Perman.
	2:23pm northguineahills: The Clique!
	2:24pm Paul from Toronto: I remember sitting at home back in the day, slightly under the influence, and Live at Budokan coming on and having some sort of religious experience.
	🛒 2:24pm Phillippe Bastille: TIL that REM's Superman was a cover
	🛒 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: R.E.M. did it up right imho. & now TheJam would like to warn you in advance about Rupert Murdoch et al...
	2:29pm Jeff g. via app: That was really enjoyable.
	2:30pm Paul from Toronto: Perfect
	2:30pm Rich in Washington: Sounds great, UM!
	2:30pm P-90: Bed music is fine now. Just right.
	2:30pm KWilde: Bed music perfect
	2:34pm dan: Mr Science is smoking some strong ganja.
	🛒 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Insane Clone Posse...
	2:35pm Roberto: Dave's not here.
	2:36pm Roberto: I appreciate the sentiment, but Ms. Officers have also been involved in questionable police killings.
	2:38pm still b/p: The Jackson Twins daily comic strip had a story line in the 70s involving cloning -- not scary, just science and intrigue. Once again, Memory, wha'...?
	2:39pm doctorjazz: Jeff Lynn, Roy Wood and Bev Bevan went from The Move into ELO-not sure it's really a "cover" (such a fussbudget...)
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's a Nugget, Link !
	2:44pm Paul from Toronto: Lenny Kaye
	2:44pm jmd: Hey Uncle Michael. Just in time to say hello-goodbye!
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: jmd! BYE!
	2:52pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all. Barreling( not driving!) North on I95. Middle of N Carolina. Thank goodness for Unc on the internets. Radio is truly hellaceous round heah!
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:54pm Andres: Thanks, Uncle Michael! A great show today! It helped calm me while battling a hood latch on the car so also thankful for that.
	2:55pm northguineahills: Thanks, UM got to prepare for the interview.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: good luck, ngh!
	2:56pm still b/p: I was plink-twanking this on a few guitar strings about five minutes ago.
	🛒 2:56pm Franco Twinkie: What a fine record listening party you had today Michael. Now get out in that yard and turn over the sod, goddamn it!
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM! A splendid show!
	2:57pm Jeff Golick: Thanks!
	🛒 2:57pm listener 126464: Thanks UM!
	2:57pm dan: Great show UM
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, UM!
	2:57pm Paul from Toronto: Great show, as always UM! See you next week. Thanks!

	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Albatross every week, Irene!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 26, 2021

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. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Let me know how things sound. Things have changed!
	12:06pm HyperDose: Oooh new mixer indeed. What did ya get UM?!
	12:06pm Doug Schulkind: @Uncle Michael The font on your playlist is all extra special like. I like! Is that new, or did I just have a stroke?
	12:06pm northguineahills: Got two hours of sleep, but a lot of work done during Doug's show (somehow). Gonna take a wee nap before throwing job apps at the wall (got interview at a place I actually want to work at).
	12:07pm Uncle Michael: D&R Webstation Thanks, Doug! ngh!
	12:07pm Andres: Good afternoon, Uncle Michael and all! Sounding good!
	12:08pm doctorjazz: Hard to tell In the office, from my iPad to my Zeppelin Mini it sounds quite good.
	12:08pm Uncle Michael: Andres!
	12:11pm HyperDose: @UM Very clean! No nonsense, plug-n-play. I dig it. :)
	🛒 12:11pm dutchtheo: Hey Uncle, Hinkys and Pedro & Pollitos!
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Theo!

	12:16pm Cmurtha: It is sounding good UM. I'd say, maybe a bit "clearer" forgive my lack of audio-phile and audio engineering jargon. But, I got fancy headphones and an amp and it sounds nice. Though, you always sound good. I have noticed since the transition to pandemic mode the alt stream DJs tend to have better audio quality than the at home main streamers. Also volume has been low on the mainstream on some shows.
	12:16pm duke: Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo to you all.
	12:16pm dan: Annie Oakley and the Cowardly Lion.
	12:16pm Spinning Giant: @Stork LOL!!!!

	12:20pm Lizardner Dave !: These records are being listened to for educational purposes only! No enjoying! There, I think that disclaimer covers it.
	12:20pm rw: My dad knew the words to this one.
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: Dave!
	12:23pm Stork: My sadistic older brother would just keep singing this song until - well, I HAD to kill him, can you blame me?
	12:23pm HyperDose: @Phillippe Annapolis is beautiful. I'll grab a kayak and meet you out there!
	12:23pm Andres: Anyone else using Safari for the playlist have the Post Comment button cut off from the page layout? It is fine for other show pages. I switched to chrome where it is partially cut off, but accessible. Not that I have an immediate need to post anything important or even intelligent but it could happen :)
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: We won't tell, Stork. HyperDose!
	12:24pm dan: Do I sense a theme in today's show
	12:24pm Stork: Oh, shit! I didn't dare tequest 3 little fishies, but did i want to hear it next? uh, yup!
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: But you wanted to hear Ish Kabibble. Am I right?
	12:25pm Stork: My mom sang this song to us endlessly. No, I didn't kill her.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Andres, thanks for that report. I might have overcooked the css.
	12:25pm Stork: Actually I thought this was Betty Boop (can't rememverr her real name) singing this.
	12:26pm Spinning Giant: this is FANfreakingTASTIC, UM - Just what the proctor ordered! Cheers :D

	12:28pm Uncle Michael: anyone else have a cut off post comment button?
	12:28pm dan: "Praise the Lord and pass the ammo".
	🛒 12:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MODENA JAB #2 !! Sorted. THANKS Dolly Parton.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: Richard Thompson all over this, of course.
	12:29pm Uncle Michael: congrats Rev!
	🛒 12:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - saw them tour together.
	12:30pm dan: Did Richard Thompson write the song and/or just play on the Loudon track?
	12:32pm Jeff Moore: But are you using the fancy new board today?
	12:33pm dan: I can hear the resemblance in voice between Loudon and Rufus.
	12:34pm Stork: Moe Howard so ripped off Ish Kabbible's look.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! Yes!
	12:39pm northguineahills: Spanky and the Gang, that goes WAYYY back (although my parents were in college back then) (I have a thing for educational songs)
	12:39pm Stork: Nice board. Do I spy 4 stereo and one mono channel?
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: Loudon wrote it all by himself, dan.
	12:39pm Jeff g. via app: Hello! Good recovering-from-first-vax-shot music here, UM.
	🛒 12:39pm listener 126464: Hi UM, everyone! Had my second hit of Moderna yesterday.

	12:40pm Stork: Congrats, brother Jeff!
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: 2 and 4, Stork.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: I have many illuminated buttons. Don't tempt me...I might press one.
	12:42pm Jeff Moore: But do any of those buttons have chimp noises?
	12:43pm Jeff g. via app: 🎶 everyone must get shot 🎶
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: DON'T TEMPT ME!
	12:44pm northguineahills: @UM: I get gainfully employed and donate (belatefully) to your show, will, you play power noise?
	🛒 12:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they keep those buttons out in Topeka for a reason man ! ...the DJ thing is a front : you know UM is a heavy dude right ? ...Like - Superman is from Kansas ...& there's numerological clues relating to JFK ...& ...Pizzagate ...
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Nothing would surprise me, ngh.
	12:45pm northguineahills: huh, a cumbia rekkid I don't have....
	12:46pm Andres: ¡Cumbia! This one is great!
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: Andres, you'll get used to my cumbia fetish.
	12:49pm northguineahills: UM's cumbia fetish is maybe only second to mine. It was former WFMU dj /rupture that got me into it, and motivated me to take dj tour in Mexico....
	12:50pm Doug Schulkind: I believe there is an OTC ointment for cumbia fetish.
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: I wish I could get Jace to return my email!
	12:50pm Uncle Michael: I have the ROTC ointment.
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Doug - to cure or lubricate it ?? Asking for ...somebody...
	12:51pm Andres: You can only treat the condition. There is no cure.
	🛒 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no Grasshopper - to syncopate it...
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Having control room mute on the mixer is changing my life!
	12:53pm northguineahills: wait, ROTC was my nyc band....
	12:54pm northguineahills: we don't kink shame music fetishes here...
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: no guilty music fetishes
	12:54pm northguineahills: (Rubaiyats of the Cicadas was the band).
	12:55pm listening out there: What is this thing called Hink?
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: lot!
	🛒 12:55pm listener 126464: Spain holding on line 3
	🛒 12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I knew Aretha wudn't gonna sit there & just croon ...
	12:56pm dan: Aretha Franklin?
	12:56pm Andres: The Kinks. A whole other fetish.
	12:56pm Doug Schulkind: This gal Franklin is pretty good. Does she have any other records out?
	12:56pm chresti: I see a thing in the corner that wasn't there before.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: Yes, dan. Simply credited as "Aretha" on this album. Her brief flirtation with the mononym.
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: what thing, chresti?
	12:59pm HyperDose: Isn't that redundant? A kink is a fetish, and vice versa.
	12:59pm johnk77: audio quality excellent today Post comment! button usable but bottom third of button is cut off on mac chrome browser
	12:59pm northguineahills: The Genius series on Arethra is actually rather decent. (give it a gander).
	1:00pm chresti: It looks like speakers in an oldy timey cabinet.
	1:01pm northguineahills: @Hyperdose: from my understanding, a kind a specific less then usual sexual arousal. A fetish, is a group of kinks. (my sexual tendancies are very boring, so I can be wrong, it's what some of my friends tell me).
	1:02pm northguineahills: UM's Spanish pronunciation has improved in the last few years.
	🛒 1:03pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning! Good luck NorthGuineaHills.
	1:03pm listening out there: Got second shot a couple days ago. No problems!
	1:04pm Paul from Toronto: You're welcome
	1:05pm northguineahills: merci, Sweet Corn Lizzie (trying to stay awake. B/tn my bday and my bros. this week, I wasn't expecting a last minute interview)
	1:05pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Still waiting for my turn to get stuck. I'm just hoping the ridiculous Bob Odenkirk action movie is still in theaters by the time I'm vaxxed up!
	🛒 1:05pm Franco Twinkie: I got slammed with the second poke, but when I rebounded I felt like tearing out bushes and trees with my bare hands.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie! Oscar!
	1:06pm Andres: Franco, you've taken up landscaping as a hobby then?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Franco, come visit. I can put you to work.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: john! you snuck in!
	1:08pm Irene: Listening and lurking today
	1:09pm dan: Got the NY Post in front of me and there’s an article about the Tina Turner doc on HBO.
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: Irene!
	🛒 1:10pm Franco Twinkie: No chance Andres. I still avoid yardwork at all costs, but for some perverse reason if I felt like doing something besides drawing pictures and drinking coffee.....
	1:11pm chresti: LUCAS at the controls
	1:11pm HyperDose: @ngh I looked it up. You and I are what the kids call "vanilla"! No issue with that. I love a nice vanilla malted. :D
	1:12pm Lizardner Dave !: Lucas!
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lucas got yer back Engineer...
	🛒 1:16pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I've got today off and am going to spend it trying to cull through the enormous piles of old New Yorkers in my "office". I can't just toss them, FOMO
	1:17pm northguineahills: @Hyperdose: yeah, i have friends whom's sexual proclivities are more exciting then mine (way past the TMI stage)
	1:17pm HyperDose: @Sweet Corn Lizzie - I hear ya. Things happened and you deserve to know about them!
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Open a doctor's office, Lizzie.
	🛒 1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Original vs. Beatles ...sorry for the obvious question ... Mr.Lennon did it justice awright... love this tho'...
	1:18pm northguineahills: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: I'm still going through my 2017 The Wire magazines. When I finish them, I leave them in a bus shelter, and hope someone enjoys them.
	🛒 1:19pm listener 126464: Current New Yorker has a nice article about Miriam Linna- www.newyorker.com...
	🛒 1:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beatles had a certain amphetamine energy when the switch got flipped...
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: So great to hear a cut from "Chet Baker Sings." Had anyone here seen the quasi-biographical film from Showtime, "Almost Blue," starring Ethan Hawke as Mr. Baker? Not bad, with some really good music.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Gerry! I have not.
	1:22pm northguineahills: thanks, listener 126464!
	1:25pm Gerry from Miami: And thanks, Uncle Michael, for those two gorgeous tunes from Aretha and Dionne Warwick. Diamonds among the zirconia.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: My pleasure, Gerry.
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Thx listener 126464.
	1:30pm Andres: Well done, Franco!
	🛒 1:31pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: @northguineahills I tear out articles I want to read and put them in the bathroom so I feel if I put them in a laundromat or something they'd just annoy people.
	1:31pm Gerry from Miami: Damn, that Franco character who spilled his coffee sure sounds a lot like actor Charlie Sheen.
	🛒 1:33pm Franco Twinkie: I am indeed! But, like everybody else I feel the call of Spring. I just might go outside and ponder the disaster that is our front yard...but not just yet!
	1:34pm northguineahills: @Sweet Corn Lizzie: When I find free internet jukeboxes at bars/clubs, I fill them up w/ stuff I like to annoy the crowd and leave (probably wouldn't work at some clubs in NYC).
	1:35pm northguineahills: Not usually a Elvis Costello fan, but, I like this!
	1:36pm Stork: Wow, first time I've heard this version, though i knew it was out there. Tina Turner does a great version too - with Herbie H.
	🛒 1:36pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yes! Joni is a fasinating study in contradictions. And such a lovable old crank!
	🛒 1:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Dear Elvis, please stick with rock n roll, thanks But I agree Joni is a lovable old crank
	1:37pm johnk77: warmed up about 10 degrees in the last hour here in nyc
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ♏︎Scorpio Sista. You do us so proud Joni.
	1:40pm barrett785: Springtime for Dinks!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Pat! Put on some pants!
	🛒 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This succeeds - & I dig the range - tho' I'd agree ElvisC's voice is better suited to the Rawks.
	1:41pm barrett785: maybe next year ;)
	1:43pm Gerry from Miami: Remembering when Joni's album, "The Hissing of Summer Lawns," was released, Rolling Stone magazine called it the "worst album of the year." A lot they know about music! Elvis does a good job on "Edith" here. But Tina Turner also covers it on Herbie Hancock's Grammy-winning Album of the Year, "The Joni Letters." Excellent, as always.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: I need to check out Tina's version.
	1:44pm northguineahills: UM is a wanted man in Topeka!
	1:45pm dan: This is like a CCR knock off band.
	🛒 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone should make a book of historically upside-down RollingStone reviews. Or not even.
	1:45pm Jeff g. via app: Good choogle.
	🛒 1:45pm Franco Twinkie: Elvis and Joni both will/did go out of there way to follow their own muse, even though the results sometimes baffled and angered their fans. But hey, if you need to hear Watching The Detectives or For The Roses for that particular spine tingling thrill, they are eternally trapped on vinyl, have at it.
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: ngh leans in and listens
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: Well said, Franco. I've done alright letting them have their heads.
	🛒 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco true. Tho' I think Joni has the edge on ElvisC here...
	1:47pm northguineahills: *thinks of Johnny Cash's Wanted Man".
	🛒 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saw ElvisC open for Dylan - & wasn't even expecting him !! A great bonus! ElvisC did only solo acoustic - & Bob just the band. That was canny, I think... No damn complaints here I can tell you.
	🛒 1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& yerknow Joni has the edge on pretty much everyone...
	1:51pm Pedro in Arlington: Instrumental "Spill the Wine" always reminds me of bed music used by the late great Joe Frank.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! I hear singing!

In both cases, seat were torn out, curtains started on fire, and the audience had multiple orgasms. Both shows caught for posterity if anyone need proof.
