	12:25pm StringOFperils: It IS bed music, after all.
	12:25pm spodiodi: olo UM
	12:25pm spodiodi: SOp XD
	12:26pm paul b: Possessing the sort of Bad Brain that I have this last set left me thinking "House Party" J Geils, might fit... Love the dancing clocks.
	12:29pm dan: Robin Gibb has that unmistakable voice

	12:31pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	🛒 12:33pm WR: Nice shirt, UM. The crest looks like the icon used for the Woof Moo android WFMU app. I guess it was some swag from the past.

	12:39pm coelacanth∅: hi spodiodi
	12:43pm burke: Always helpful to hear "the purpose of this song is..." in lyrics. Takes away all the guesswork!
	12:44pm dan: @spodiodi You’re welcome.

	12:59pm TDK60: '21? Terrible! Except, I never ran outta T.P.!
	1:01pm wendy del formaggio: There were a few tough things in 2021, but overall, it treated me very well… pandemic fuckery notwithstanding. I learned a lot and made great progress in many things.
	1:01pm dan: Are these the Harlem Globetrotters singing like the Chicago Bears did in 1986?
	1:01pm StringOFperils: Eagerness for 2022, tempered by dismay. I guess I really should go to the beer store.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Wendy, that makes me happy. dan, no...better.
	1:02pm chresti: We got some rain in this cusp of 21/22, so we're still a livin'!
	1:03pm wendy del formaggio: Thank you, Uncle Michael. I wish you all the good things in 2022, and beyond.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Thanks very much! And wonderful cheese?
	🛒 1:04pm Franco Twinkie: I personally got dunked in the sewer several times in this past calendar year, but today is a beautiful, and I'm gonna make pozole and a pie. No matter what, we've got to eat, right?

	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I'm serving gumbo tonight. Don't shame me...they're leftovers.
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wot da actual Fonk is goin' on here ?!?
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: We're partyin'. Rev!
	🛒 1:16pm listener 126464: Almost time to add carrots and taters to pot roast.
	1:16pm phat in lincoln: When I'm done with work (which may actually just happen in a few minutes) ima clean this apartment, possibly build a fuzz pedal, and listen to EFD. That's my exciting New Years.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: I really need to make a boeuf bourguignon one of these days.
	1:17pm TDK60: Hi RevRab63. Got their wifi back.
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: That's gonna be some party, phat.
	1:19pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael that's why they call me a party animal!
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: Ritchie Blackmore and Clem Catini on this "Silas Dooley" track.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Have you ever had to go back and collect your pants after a party?
	1:20pm phat in lincoln: The Bel Airs are playing the Zoo Bar early tonight, but you couldn't pay me to hang out in that Omicron soup. And I love the Bel Airs.
	1:20pm Stevel: It’s like Silas knew I was sorting laundry in my underwear.
	1:21pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael I can't recall, but it'd be something that would have happened to me back when I did things like that.
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: Yeah...I'd rather sit outside Charlie Burton's house and listen to him practice.
	🛒 1:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right now - I'm crouching on the floor by a specific window to get WiFis from the gym across the road ...actually put my back out on Xmas day this way. It's great - not quite enuff to stream twitch here too...
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Steve!
	1:24pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael it's icy out!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Who's playing at the Drumstick?
	1:26pm adamdoesit: UM, here's a big amen to your PSA. The last year brought challenges, even hard times, but there were also music, intimacy, useful work, and plenty of cheese. To burn it all down as the worst year ever serves no constructive purpose that I can see.
	1:26pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael I do miss seeing The Bel Airs. They are friends of mine. The singer's girl is one of my oldest friends. One of my first loves, in fact. Lol.
	1:27pm johnk77: is that the same drumstick del fuegos played in the 80s?
	1:27pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael I believe the Drumstick is a McDonald's.
	1:27pm phat in lincoln: @johnk77 that would be correct.
	1:28pm johnk77: it was a small world then called college radio?;>
	1:30pm Gerry from Miami: Wayne's World! Wayne's World! Party time! Excellent! Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar are your patron saints today, Uncle Michael.
	1:31pm phat in lincoln: @johnk77 yes, yes it was.
	1:32pm phat in lincoln: Sadly, the bar that carried the Drumstick banner has hired some sort of fly-by-night booking firm to do their shows and it's not looking good.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: There was just one Lohmeier. (sp?)
	1:34pm Doug Schulkind: Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! Just a quick word that I will be filling in for Dave Sewelson's Music For a Free World tomorrow on the stream, 2-5pm (ET)! Save some champagne for me, Uncle Michael!
	1:34pm jmd: Whoa! This is a new one to me, nice. it's the small treats at the end of the year that make the difference. Thanks, Unc!
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: Yay!
	1:34pm johnk77: 3 hours to sunset in the broadcast area possibly frank riley booked fuegos @thatchickenshack attractions party band in the before times
	1:34pm Uncle Michael: jmd!
	1:34pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael true. His sister made a documentary about the Drumstick recently. I haven't seen it yet.
	1:36pm phat in lincoln: My old hessian heart is warmed by the Boston.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: For the rest of you, TL Lohmeier turned his family's chicken shack (by day) into a great rock and roll bar (by night) in Lincoln Nebraska.
	1:37pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael it was legendary. I actually just missed it, as I moved to Lincoln right after it closed.
	1:37pm johnk77: i worked there 1 night
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: I loved that dump.
	1:39pm doctorjazz: Don't remember this Boston "Greatest Hit", but like it, doesn't quite sound like their usual grand selves. Getting work done, terrific accompaniment!
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Don't know why, but I was a big fan of Brad Delp as a rock vocalist. He had the chops, all right! RIP, Brad. Perfect match for Tom Scholz's guitar pedal antics.
	🛒 1:39pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Happy new year, everybody
	1:40pm phat in lincoln: There really is nothing like it here anymore. Duffy's lost the thread. The other two bars that might come close don't have it. Nobody here is booking the next Del Fuegos or REM anymore. I've been very tempted to try my hand at booking, but I think I'm too old for that shit.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Doc! Lizzie!
	1:40pm phat in lincoln: @Gerry from Miami he was a beautiful singer.
	1:41pm phat in lincoln: Hot damn. This show is kicking my ass.
	1:45pm phat in lincoln: I would not be surprised if NRBQ played The Drumstick
	1:49pm johnk77: thanx all party animals i found this link https://rememberthedrumstick.com/
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: cool!
	1:50pm spodiodi: w00t!
	1:51pm phat in lincoln: @johnk77 there it is.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: We're gonna pass around the asti spumanti next!
	1:51pm dan: First song not to have party in the title
	1:51pm phat in lincoln: Wine spodiodi is one of my favorite songs, not kidding.
	1:52pm Listener Robert: So that's where Spodiodi comes from.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: Love this Stick McGhee!
	1:52pm phat in lincoln: Hoy!
	1:53pm phat in lincoln: Full circle, since that girl I talked about early turned me on to the tune.
	1:53pm spodiodi: in my case, it came to me first from Kerouac's On the Road
	1:55pm phat in lincoln: Port and bourbon, layered.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: white port and lemon juice
	1:56pm phat in lincoln: Lol.
	1:57pm dan: Another unmistakable voice: Chubby Checker
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for remembering to put me on the guest list, Uncle Michael! The bouncer didn't believe me when I said you put me down for a plus-one.
	2:03pm johnk77: the pest list:>
	🛒 2:04pm Alvy Singer: The W is the White, The P is the Port, The L is the Lemon, The J is the Juice White Port & Lemon Juice, White Port & Lemon Juice, White Port & Lemon Juice, Ooh what it do to you! Frank Zappa-WPLJ off of Burnt Weeny Sandwich.
	2:04pm phat in lincoln: I'm now craving some J. Giels.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: WPLJ predates Frank!
	2:07pm johnk77: i do not know if he went to the drumstick but dennis rodman was the person i was most surprised to learn loved college radio
	2:09pm johnk77: x, joan jett 10,000 maniacs did play the drumstick!
	2:09pm dan: I may as well mention it now, all my song requests have something in common, they all feature Steve Winwood in a sideman capacity. I won’t reveal the songs, you’ll have to stay tuned.
	2:09pm Lizardner Dave !: RIP Betty White, according to TMZ. There's a capper on the year.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Dave! Think it's true this time?
	2:11pm Lizardner Dave !: Multiple sources are saying it....though they all seem to tie back to TMZ which makes me wonder.
	2:12pm phat in lincoln: @johnk77 yep
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I need another, better source.
	2:13pm johnk77: i only saw 10,000 maniacs live once the old ritz
	2:13pm Lizardner Dave !: Maybe Station Manager Ken can confirm. I get all my Bob Dylan news from him and it's always legit.
	2:15pm dan: TMZ can be deceptive
	2:16pm coelacanth∅: i might cry if Betty White has died.
	2:19pm doctorjazz: This Tom Waits is great, sounds like his early self to my ears.
	2:19pm johnk77: country & western
	🛒 2:20pm listener 126464: Fan of Bad As Me.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: Doc, it's from his most recent album....10 years old.
	2:21pm dan: 2021 hasn’t been kind to the cast of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, taking Phyllis, Lou, Murray and now Sue Ann
	2:22pm doctorjazz: I knew from the dates it was not early Waits, but something about it reminded me of the early albums. No other reports on Betty White except TMZ so far (according to Google). She'd/She'll be 100 years old Jan 17...
	2:24pm phat in lincoln: Having recently binged a quarter of "A History of Rock in 500 Songs" has actually put a lot of the tunes you've plated today in perspective, the Orioles, for example.
	2:24pm phat in lincoln: Played
	2:29pm dan: All the obituaries are attributing TMZ as the source
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: gotta hit the road Thanks Uncle M! for another year! tchau
	2:30pm Gerry from Miami: Los Ecos doing the Beatles' "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" behind you, Uncle Michael. Nice.
	2:31pm phat in lincoln: I'm shocked Tom Waits hasn't made a record since then.
	2:32pm johnk77: tom waits opened for bonnie raitt band sadly just before my time
	2:32pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Hinky Dinky shoppers!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Henry!
	2:33pm phat in lincoln: Probably my favorite Beatles album still.
	2:33pm Gerry from Miami: And now for the original!
	2:34pm still b/p: Network news last night had one of those in memoriam montages, and I don't know if the list is different or longer this year, and even though I didn't see the full segment the flow of reminders made me say "Good Lord -- her, and him? And, right, him and her. And him and her? Man, damn, and good lawd again!
	2:34pm Webhamster Henry: I was out doing errands, but am back in Virtual Topeka.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Yes, that Tony Sales.
	2:36pm dan: I maintain my prediction that the last song will be The Raspberries “The Party’s Over”
	2:37pm phat in lincoln: Damn! I still love saying "Soupy Sales's Sons"
	2:38pm johnk77: hunt & tony?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: yep
	2:39pm TDK60: Do the Mouse yeah.
	2:40pm Gerry from Miami: Weren't the Sales brothers part of David Bowie's Tin Machine?
	2:40pm Gerry from Miami: Weren't the Sales brothers part of David Bowie's Tin Machine?
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: yes
	2:40pm phat in lincoln: @Gerry from Miami yes. They also played with Iggy Pop.
	2:41pm phat in lincoln: Bring on Dandy Don!
	2:41pm wendy del formaggio: This show is providing a lovely soundtrack to my work day. Thank you, Uncle Michael.
	2:41pm johnk77: chequered past was NOT very good great work selecter here is long-form drumstick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5gFqvMKMho
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: You're welcome Wendela. Happy New Year to you.
	2:43pm wendy del formaggio: And to you, Uncle Michael. I welcome you to call me Wendala whenever you like. I love it! :-)
	2:43pm johnk77: willie songwriter & singer happy holidaze
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I'll start spelling it correctly!
	2:44pm Gerry from Miami: @phat in lincoln. Ah, an old Monday Night Football fan, I see. Dandy Don was somethin' else.
	2:45pm johnk77: madden was from daly city
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Dearie track is so fine ...pretty good fidelity too for a stream from Topeka to me via stolen gym WiFis thru a laptop into ADS speakers...
	2:47pm wendy del formaggio: Uncle Michael, it’s Yiddish; it has many spellings (as you know)! Some have spelled it Wendala, Wendaluh, Wendelah. I typically use Wendalah, but I answer to any of these.
	2:47pm phat in lincoln: @Gerry from Miami oh yes, yes he was.
	2:48pm StringOFperils: This is some hurtin' hangover confession
	2:49pm dan: Am I good
	2:49pm Pedro in Arlington: Superb show, as expected Uncle Michael. I guess I need to get some requests in.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Nope, you blew it, dan. Not last.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!

	2:56pm wendy del formaggio: (Raises hand)

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 31, 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.

	1:31pm phat in lincoln: @johnk77 yes, yes it was.
	1:32pm phat in lincoln: Sadly, the bar that carried the Drumstick banner has hired some sort of fly-by-night booking firm to do their shows and it's not looking good.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: There was just one Lohmeier. (sp?)
	1:34pm Doug Schulkind: Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! Just a quick word that I will be filling in for Dave Sewelson's Music For a Free World tomorrow on the stream, 2-5pm (ET)! Save some champagne for me, Uncle Michael!
	1:34pm jmd: Whoa! This is a new one to me, nice. it's the small treats at the end of the year that make the difference. Thanks, Unc!

	1:34pm Uncle Michael: jmd!
	1:34pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael true. His sister made a documentary about the Drumstick recently. I haven't seen it yet.
	1:36pm phat in lincoln: My old hessian heart is warmed by the Boston.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: For the rest of you, TL Lohmeier turned his family's chicken shack (by day) into a great rock and roll bar (by night) in Lincoln Nebraska.
	1:37pm phat in lincoln: @Uncle Michael it was legendary. I actually just missed it, as I moved to Lincoln right after it closed.
	1:37pm johnk77: i worked there 1 night
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: I loved that dump.
	1:39pm doctorjazz: Don't remember this Boston "Greatest Hit", but like it, doesn't quite sound like their usual grand selves. Getting work done, terrific accompaniment!
	1:39pm Gerry from Miami: Don't know why, but I was a big fan of Brad Delp as a rock vocalist. He had the chops, all right! RIP, Brad. Perfect match for Tom Scholz's guitar pedal antics.
	🛒 1:39pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Happy new year, everybody
	1:40pm phat in lincoln: There really is nothing like it here anymore. Duffy's lost the thread. The other two bars that might come close don't have it. Nobody here is booking the next Del Fuegos or REM anymore. I've been very tempted to try my hand at booking, but I think I'm too old for that shit.
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: Doc! Lizzie!
	1:40pm phat in lincoln: @Gerry from Miami he was a beautiful singer.
	1:41pm phat in lincoln: Hot damn. This show is kicking my ass.
	1:45pm phat in lincoln: I would not be surprised if NRBQ played The Drumstick
	1:49pm johnk77: thanx all party animals i found this link https://rememberthedrumstick.com/
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: cool!
	1:50pm spodiodi: w00t!
	1:51pm phat in lincoln: @johnk77 there it is.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: We're gonna pass around the asti spumanti next!
	1:51pm dan: First song not to have party in the title
	1:51pm phat in lincoln: Wine spodiodi is one of my favorite songs, not kidding.
	1:52pm Listener Robert: So that's where Spodiodi comes from.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: Love this Stick McGhee!
	1:52pm phat in lincoln: Hoy!
	1:53pm phat in lincoln: Full circle, since that girl I talked about early turned me on to the tune.
	1:53pm spodiodi: in my case, it came to me first from Kerouac's On the Road
	1:55pm phat in lincoln: Port and bourbon, layered.
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: white port and lemon juice
	1:56pm phat in lincoln: Lol.
	1:57pm dan: Another unmistakable voice: Chubby Checker
	1:59pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for remembering to put me on the guest list, Uncle Michael! The bouncer didn't believe me when I said you put me down for a plus-one.
	2:03pm johnk77: the pest list:>
	🛒 2:04pm Alvy Singer: The W is the White, The P is the Port, The L is the Lemon, The J is the Juice White Port & Lemon Juice, White Port & Lemon Juice, White Port & Lemon Juice, Ooh what it do to you! Frank Zappa-WPLJ off of Burnt Weeny Sandwich.
	2:04pm phat in lincoln: I'm now craving some J. Giels.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: WPLJ predates Frank!
	2:07pm johnk77: i do not know if he went to the drumstick but dennis rodman was the person i was most surprised to learn loved college radio
	2:09pm johnk77: x, joan jett 10,000 maniacs did play the drumstick!
	2:09pm dan: I may as well mention it now, all my song requests have something in common, they all feature Steve Winwood in a sideman capacity. I won’t reveal the songs, you’ll have to stay tuned.
	2:09pm Lizardner Dave !: RIP Betty White, according to TMZ. There's a capper on the year.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Dave! Think it's true this time?
	2:11pm Lizardner Dave !: Multiple sources are saying it....though they all seem to tie back to TMZ which makes me wonder.
	2:12pm phat in lincoln: @johnk77 yep
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I need another, better source.
	2:13pm johnk77: i only saw 10,000 maniacs live once the old ritz
	2:13pm Lizardner Dave !: Maybe Station Manager Ken can confirm. I get all my Bob Dylan news from him and it's always legit.
	2:15pm dan: TMZ can be deceptive
	2:16pm coelacanth∅: i might cry if Betty White has died.
	2:19pm doctorjazz: This Tom Waits is great, sounds like his early self to my ears.
	2:19pm johnk77: country & western
	🛒 2:20pm listener 126464: Fan of Bad As Me.
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: Doc, it's from his most recent album....10 years old.
	2:21pm dan: 2021 hasn’t been kind to the cast of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, taking Phyllis, Lou, Murray and now Sue Ann
	2:22pm doctorjazz: I knew from the dates it was not early Waits, but something about it reminded me of the early albums. No other reports on Betty White except TMZ so far (according to Google). She'd/She'll be 100 years old Jan 17...
	2:24pm phat in lincoln: Having recently binged a quarter of "A History of Rock in 500 Songs" has actually put a lot of the tunes you've plated today in perspective, the Orioles, for example.
	2:24pm phat in lincoln: Played
	2:29pm dan: All the obituaries are attributing TMZ as the source
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: gotta hit the road Thanks Uncle M! for another year! tchau
	2:30pm Gerry from Miami: Los Ecos doing the Beatles' "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" behind you, Uncle Michael. Nice.
	2:31pm phat in lincoln: I'm shocked Tom Waits hasn't made a record since then.
	2:32pm johnk77: tom waits opened for bonnie raitt band sadly just before my time
	2:32pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Hinky Dinky shoppers!
	2:33pm Uncle Michael: Henry!
	2:33pm phat in lincoln: Probably my favorite Beatles album still.
	2:33pm Gerry from Miami: And now for the original!
	2:34pm still b/p: Network news last night had one of those in memoriam montages, and I don't know if the list is different or longer this year, and even though I didn't see the full segment the flow of reminders made me say "Good Lord -- her, and him? And, right, him and her. And him and her? Man, damn, and good lawd again!
	2:34pm Webhamster Henry: I was out doing errands, but am back in Virtual Topeka.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Yes, that Tony Sales.
	2:36pm dan: I maintain my prediction that the last song will be The Raspberries “The Party’s Over”
	2:37pm phat in lincoln: Damn! I still love saying "Soupy Sales's Sons"
	2:38pm johnk77: hunt & tony?
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: yep
	2:39pm TDK60: Do the Mouse yeah.

	2:43pm Uncle Michael: I'll start spelling it correctly!
	2:44pm Gerry from Miami: @phat in lincoln. Ah, an old Monday Night Football fan, I see. Dandy Don was somethin' else.
	2:45pm johnk77: madden was from daly city
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Dearie track is so fine ...pretty good fidelity too for a stream from Topeka to me via stolen gym WiFis thru a laptop into ADS speakers...
	2:47pm wendy del formaggio: Uncle Michael, it’s Yiddish; it has many spellings (as you know)! Some have spelled it Wendala, Wendaluh, Wendelah. I typically use Wendalah, but I answer to any of these.
	2:47pm phat in lincoln: @Gerry from Miami oh yes, yes he was.
