	🛒 7:00pm Barry P.: Hi Uncle Michael, thanks for playing my Joni request last week. Both segues were quite good too!
	7:01pm Uncle Michael: is this thing on? Barry!
	🛒 7:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...how much would YOU pay for this incredible offer... Before you decide - WAIT ! ...there's more...
	7:01pm Listener Gregory: Yikes!
	7:02pm StringOFperils: Yes it's true, I have no life.
	7:02pm Listener Robert: That was a quick week.
	🛒 7:03pm Alvy Singer: Uncle Michael After Dark.
	7:03pm Listener Robert: Bronwyn B or C?
	🛒 7:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Hey look ! The Hinky Bridge after sunset ...brings out the colors.
	7:04pm Uncle Michael: Rev! Gregory! SOp! Robert! Alvy!
	7:04pm Uncle Michael: B
	7:05pm Listener Gregory: What's done in the dark will soon be brought to light. Or so I've been told.
	7:06pm Hopey Sockmonkey: UM! Dinks! You're all back!
	🛒 7:07pm Alvy Singer: Will Lucas be joining the late shift?
	7:07pm Uncle Michael: Hopey!
	7:07pm Uncle Michael: Lucas does what Lucas wants to do. I'm not the boss of him.
	7:07pm StringOFperils: I wonder if any DJ has ever lined up Sparks and Merle Haggard before
	7:08pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to think so.
	7:09pm StringOFperils: I can imagine Mael Sr. thinking, "Mama tried."
	7:09pm TonyR: Oh, you BETTER do some show tunes. I had to cut out early last week to catch 23 minutes of a show I paid $23 a head for. Broadway prices!!!
	7:11pm Uncle Michael: Tony! I'm not drunk enough to sing. I could dust off "Greased Lightning" from my time as Kenickie.
	7:13pm TonyR: We'll take something from "Godspell". Or maybe not.
	7:13pm Listener Gregory: Just realized the theme: All these songs first appeared in the Zigfeld Follies Broadway shows! Very clever.
	🛒 7:13pm WR: You sure this isn't a fill-in for Julie? Hi UM and streamers.
	7:14pm Uncle Michael: You're wise to me!
	7:14pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	7:17pm Jeff Golick: Drat. My smoking jacket is at the cleaners.
	7:17pm StringOFperils: Wow. I have a Billy Wright 'album'. On Mr. R&B or some Swedish reissue label. Cool
	7:18pm TonyR: Smoke naked.
	7:18pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! Just set your oxford shirt on fire.
	7:19pm StringOFperils: Your jacket should quit smoking IMO
	7:19pm Jeff Golick: Why do you think my jacket was smoking?
	🛒 7:19pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "After Dark Blues" by "Billy Wright" The precursor to Little Richard?
	7:19pm Listener Gregory: @Jeff, it spontaneously ignited during your recent milestone show, obv!
	7:20pm StringOFperils: ↳ Alvy Singer @7:19 Closer to Esquerita maybe
	7:21pm Uncle Michael: Esqueritas beat Tiparillos any time.
	7:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:19 A reasonable guess, @LG, but a smoking jacket before noon? What am I, a farmer?
	7:22pm Uncle Michael: Gregory sorta called this one.
	7:22pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:05 As I said! You can't hide these things forever.
	7:22pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:22 You may look like a farmer...but you're a lover.
	7:29pm Listener Gregory: The Lane Relations have escaped my attention up 'til now. Nice performance.
	7:29pm phat in lincoln: Missed the day show, so this is nice.
	7:30pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	7:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, UM and folks. What's happening tonight? I am in the dark over here.
	7:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ phat in lincoln @7:29 This one's a lot darker
	7:31pm Uncle Michael: The night was black...and the moon was yellow...and the leaves came tumbling down.
	7:31pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	7:32pm phat in lincoln: Gotta clean this joint, soon. I hope the choons help motivate me.
	7:33pm adamdoesit: Hey UM, hinkyfolk, and rootypoots. I'm spinning jazz rekkids and cooking hot dogs; then we're gonna watch White Noise. I look forward to catching this one on the archive.
	7:33pm spodiodi: aloha, UM and all!
	7:33pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya Uncle Michael, folks! Finally able to get on the board and say hello. "Hello"!
	7:36pm Uncle Michael: adam! spodi! Pauly!
	7:44pm Lee B: Ah. The glow of the nighttime studio! Hey UM.
	🛒 7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh but people look good in the dark.
	7:45pm Uncle Michael: Lee!
	7:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Dark" by "Frank Sinatra" Oops, you played a show tune.
	7:46pm StringOFperils: I asked Frank for a light, and the next thing I knew it all went dark
	7:46pm Uncle Michael: Oops!
	🛒 7:46pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Dark" by "Frank Sinatra" Billy May, arrangement and orchestration.
	7:49pm Uncle Michael: This is a show tune, too.
	7:49pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Danger in the Dark" by "Charlie Barnet & His Orch... love this
	7:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Danger in the Dark" by "Charlie Barnet & His Orch... Hmmmm...starting to clicky star everything
	7:56pm Dean: Branford? "The Dark Keys"? Pink Floyd? Or is dark not the theme?
	7:57pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	7:58pm Roberto: OMG dark mode UM!
	8:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: If you have a glow-in-the-dark Wake 'n' Bake T-shirt, UM, now's the time!
	8:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Moondog fridge magnets from a couple years ago also glow in the dark.
	8:04pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! Ken, I do not. The magnets I have.
	8:04pm Dean: Who among us doesn't glow in the dark, if you know what I mean?
	8:05pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @8:04 nudge, nudge
	8:05pm Roberto: Ugh speaking of dark mode, I spent half the day today explaining to higher-ups why I can't just override dark mode for their email campaign.
	8:07pm StringOFperils: Nice!
	8:09pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Only After Dark" by "Mick Ronson" Pro tip: if you've already favorited a track but you don't realize it and you go to favorite it, you will, in fact, unfavorite it.
	8:09pm phat in lincoln: Reminds me I have to actually listen to Slaughter... I've never listened to the whole thing
	8:09pm Dean: Speaking of Ronson, can anybody identify the unknown figure at top left in the picture of Jeff Beck with Bowie's Stardust gang here: https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2023/jan/12/jeff-beck-a-life-in-pictures
	8:09pm StringOFperils: Both Slaughter and Play Don't Worry are worth the trip...if you like this.
	8:12pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's the well-known "unknown".
	8:13pm Dean: Is it? I didn't know. Looks so familiar...
	8:13pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:12 He's buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Bowie Hanger-On.
	8:14pm Uncle Michael: My Dog Howard
	8:14pm Dean: Oh! So it's Ulysses S. Grant! Thanks, Roberto.
	8:15pm phat: ↳ Song: "My Dark Hour" by "Steve Miller Band" Funny. I didn't know Steve Miller recycled that riff.
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ phat @8:15 from?
	8:16pm Dean: Anyway, there's another photo in that Guardian spread with Brian May meeting QE2. I bet the Queen jokes flowed like claret!
	8:17pm phat: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:16 That's the same guitar riff from Fly Like an Eagle
	8:17pm Uncle Michael: Well, get a couple of bottles into Liz and woo baby...
	8:18pm Uncle Michael: ↳ phat @8:17 ahhh...so it is
	8:18pm CDToaster: Hi Uncle, nice Twitch video to you. I tried to "sign up" but I was denied due to my NOT having a cell phone. It seems many "things" are being denied to folks who are unable to "text" or provide mobile phone numbers. I'm not falling victim to the pressure, though. I've lived 70 years without a cell phone so I suppose I can do another 20 without one.
	8:19pm phat: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:18 Any enterprising record exec would have sued him, or something.
	8:19pm Uncle Michael: CDT, I just exploit Twitch for the video embed...there's no real Hinky Dinky Time benefit to signing up.
	🛒 8:19pm WR: ↳ Dean @8:09 Dean, on a thread I saw on FB the guy with the wine glass was identified as Tim Buckley. I would second guess that, but a lot of knowledgeable people were commenting adding corrections so at least a good maybe. The busy headed gent on the other side was identified as Edgar Broughton (sp?).
	8:19pm Uncle Michael: ↳ phat @8:19 He wouldn't be the first to sue himself!
	8:20pm Listener Robert: ↳ CDToaster @8:18 Me too, facing same difficulties.
	8:21pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ CDToaster @8:18 Twitch sign up is only good for chatting, which is done here and not there. No need to bother!
	8:21pm phat: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "The Nobles" Bit pitchy
	8:21pm Listener Robert: So many places online, if I've been allowed at all, I have to check a box saying I'll supply a cell # "later".
	8:21pm StringOFperils: Pitchy dark
	8:22pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Really enjoying listening to the show while I make dinner.
	8:22pm Listener Robert: Can't deal with Uber w/o, not just a cell phone, but a smart one.
	8:23pm Uncle Michael: What's for dinner, Hopey?
	8:23pm Dean: Interesting, WR. I don't know enough about Tim Buckley even to fake an opinion, but I do see that the guy in the photo has bushy eyebrows. Maybe he's the U Idaho murderer?
	8:24pm Uncle Michael: I was gonna guess Gino Vannelli.
	8:25pm CDToaster: @Michael: Thanks for explaining. @Hopey: Thanks for clarifying. @Robert: It's quite interesting to live these days without a cell phone, isn't it? I think I'd hate to carry that thing around.
	8:26pm phat: I've always thought that the guesses of Tim Buckley being the mystery hanger on were good guesses. But it's not him.
	8:26pm Dean: Looks like the Guardian photo is reversed. Lotsa lefties among 'em. I have a cellphone, but it's an old flip-thing and I have refused text service, because it's a pain in the ass.
	8:28pm CDToaster: @Michael: Looks like a really sweet studio you have there, Uncle. Thanks for sharing that portion of your life with us.
	8:29pm Uncle Michael: ↳ CDToaster @8:28 Thank you. Come by for my regular show and it's easier to see in the daylight.
	8:31pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:23 I'm making pizza dough for a pan pizza. It takes awhile to make and then has to ferment in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
	8:33pm Listener Robert: Just wondering what those of us thrown into the dungeon would be made to listen to.
	8:34pm Dean: Pizza dough takes 12 hours?! I've made it, and successfully, with more like one or two. Add honey, by the way.
	8:35pm Uncle Michael: I've made various doughs from between 20 minutes and 72 hours. Tomorrow's will be about 2 hours.
	🛒 8:35pm Alvy Singer: Excellent Human League deep cut UM.
	8:36pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "The Human League" I prefer the Feline League. Cool tune tho.
	8:37pm Listener Robert: I give pizza dough at least overnight, and found it does make a dif vs. just using it within 2 hours, but that extra days of aging in the refrigerator as some practice gives no further improvement. However, my batch is enough for 2 pizzas, so at least one of them ages at least another day anyway.
	8:38pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "The Human League" I haven't listened to this album in a long time. Thank you for reminding me how good it is!
	8:38pm Uncle Michael: Different kinds of pizza require different approaches to the dough.
	8:39pm Dean: My pizza cred is tenuous, anyway, because my choice for "best pizza" is a joint in unincorporated LA County that does nothing right according to the common reception.
	8:40pm CDToaster: @Michael: I've just retired from the MTA (hence my name, (mta) Tony) so I'll be able to catch all your upcoming shows. Btw, I'm one of fmu's longest listeners, ever since Nov. '67 @age 14. I never turned the dial since.
	8:40pm phat: ↳ Song: "Darkness (L'Immortaliste)" by "Be Bop Deluxe" Definitely need to listen to more Be Bop Deluxe.
	8:41pm Dean: This BBD tune is pretty damn corny. I saw them live at Santa Monica long ago.
	8:41pm Uncle Michael: could this vocal be more "bowie-esque"?
	8:41pm Roberto: ↳ CDToaster @8:40 Thanks for schlepping us around!
	8:41pm Uncle Michael: Welcome to the fold, CDT.
	8:41pm Listener Robert: ↳ Dean @8:39 People have very different tastes in pizza. Few like the way I make it, which leaves the vegetables deliberately crisp because I don't pre-cook them.
	8:42pm phat: It's awesome
	8:42pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:41 Yeah, years ago SM Ken was looking for fake Bowie tracks to play on his show. This would probably have qualified.
	8:43pm phat: I'm now if the opinion that Hedwig was more inspired by that than anything.
	8:44pm Dean: It could be more Bowie-esque. It fits better in the Acid Jazz Hands mold. Rock stars who attempt opera (see Andrea Bocelli) expose their shortcomings pretty quickly.
	8:45pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Ribbon Of Darkness" by "Marty Robbins" metaphorical darkness!
	8:46pm Dean: The outlier pizza joint of which I speak does not pre-cook the veggies. Don't get me wrong, there are pizzas here in the Berkeley area (Cheeseboard!) that rightly command attention, but I like the place where the local soccer and baseball teams convene after a game.
	8:51pm bigplanetnoise: UM! Such a fun show tonight!!
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: Fatha!
	8:52pm CDToaster: It was only a month ago I discovered Spade Cooley murdered his wife/girlfriend and was pardoned by the President who told us to just say no to drugs.
	8:52pm Uncle Michael: Bob! Thanks!
	8:53pm bigplanetnoise: Fave Marty song!!
	8:53pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Tonight's dinner is ready so I gotta run. Thanks for doing the extra shift tonight, UM! Have a good Friday night and weekend, y'all!
	8:54pm Uncle Michael: See Ya Hopey!
	8:55pm Roberto: Nocturnal UM rules! Until next time y'all.
	8:55pm spodiodi: thanks, UM!
	8:56pm StringOFperils: Hinky Dinky Speed Date. I'll call you next week, I promise.
	8:56pm CDToaster: After years in jail, Reagan pardoned him (Cooley), then Spade died the next day. Karma at work.
	🛒 8:56pm WR: Wait, already the after dark HDT is ending? Man, the day is flying past. Thank you, Sir!
	8:57pm Dean: A pleasant Friday surprise: extra hours of the Unk. The "Albatross" bed music twice!
	8:57pm phat: Spade Cooley had a dark AF story, too.
	8:58pm phat: Good lord.
	8:58pm Listener Robert: Bye-bye and good night, with thanks for the pleasure.
	8:59pm Dean: "Right wing lunatic" suggests we should hear some early Skrewdriver before they went bonkers.
	8:59pm bigplanetnoise: Thank you, UM!!
	9:00pm phat: Holy crap. Stand Up Records is run by a buddy of mine.
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Mr Uncle Michael! You brought light into our lives.
	9:01pm Dean: And I know a guy who helped produce that FT record.
	9:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone!
	9:01pm Dean: Glen Banks

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 13, 2023

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.

	7:14pm Uncle Michael: You're wise to me!
	7:14pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	7:17pm Jeff Golick: Drat. My smoking jacket is at the cleaners.
	7:17pm StringOFperils: Wow. I have a Billy Wright 'album'. On Mr. R&B or some Swedish reissue label. Cool
	7:18pm TonyR: Smoke naked.
	7:18pm Uncle Michael: Jeff! Just set your oxford shirt on fire.
	7:19pm StringOFperils: Your jacket should quit smoking IMO
	7:19pm Jeff Golick: Why do you think my jacket was smoking?
	🛒 7:19pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "After Dark Blues" by "Billy Wright" The precursor to Little Richard?
	7:19pm Listener Gregory: @Jeff, it spontaneously ignited during your recent milestone show, obv!
	7:20pm StringOFperils: ↳ Alvy Singer @7:19 Closer to Esquerita maybe
	7:21pm Uncle Michael: Esqueritas beat Tiparillos any time.
	7:22pm Jeff Golick: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:19 A reasonable guess, @LG, but a smoking jacket before noon? What am I, a farmer?
	7:22pm Uncle Michael: Gregory sorta called this one.
	7:22pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:05 As I said! You can't hide these things forever.
	7:22pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:22 You may look like a farmer...but you're a lover.
	7:29pm Listener Gregory: The Lane Relations have escaped my attention up 'til now. Nice performance.
	7:29pm phat in lincoln: Missed the day show, so this is nice.
	7:30pm Uncle Michael: phat!
	7:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, UM and folks. What's happening tonight? I am in the dark over here.
	7:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ phat in lincoln @7:29 This one's a lot darker
	7:31pm Uncle Michael: The night was black...and the moon was yellow...and the leaves came tumbling down.
	7:31pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	7:32pm phat in lincoln: Gotta clean this joint, soon. I hope the choons help motivate me.
	7:33pm adamdoesit: Hey UM, hinkyfolk, and rootypoots. I'm spinning jazz rekkids and cooking hot dogs; then we're gonna watch White Noise. I look forward to catching this one on the archive.
	7:33pm spodiodi: aloha, UM and all!
	7:33pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya Uncle Michael, folks! Finally able to get on the board and say hello. "Hello"!
	7:36pm Uncle Michael: adam! spodi! Pauly!
	7:44pm Lee B: Ah. The glow of the nighttime studio! Hey UM.
	🛒 7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh but people look good in the dark.
	7:45pm Uncle Michael: Lee!
	7:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Dark" by "Frank Sinatra" Oops, you played a show tune.
	7:46pm StringOFperils: I asked Frank for a light, and the next thing I knew it all went dark
	7:46pm Uncle Michael: Oops!
	🛒 7:46pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "Dancing in the Dark" by "Frank Sinatra" Billy May, arrangement and orchestration.
	7:49pm Uncle Michael: This is a show tune, too.
	7:49pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Danger in the Dark" by "Charlie Barnet & His Orch... love this
	7:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Danger in the Dark" by "Charlie Barnet & His Orch... Hmmmm...starting to clicky star everything
	7:56pm Dean: Branford? "The Dark Keys"? Pink Floyd? Or is dark not the theme?
	7:57pm Uncle Michael: Dean!
	7:58pm Roberto: OMG dark mode UM!
	8:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: If you have a glow-in-the-dark Wake 'n' Bake T-shirt, UM, now's the time!
	8:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Moondog fridge magnets from a couple years ago also glow in the dark.
	8:04pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! Ken, I do not. The magnets I have.
	8:04pm Dean: Who among us doesn't glow in the dark, if you know what I mean?
	8:05pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @8:04 nudge, nudge
	8:05pm Roberto: Ugh speaking of dark mode, I spent half the day today explaining to higher-ups why I can't just override dark mode for their email campaign.
	8:07pm StringOFperils: Nice!
	8:09pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Only After Dark" by "Mick Ronson" Pro tip: if you've already favorited a track but you don't realize it and you go to favorite it, you will, in fact, unfavorite it.
	8:09pm phat in lincoln: Reminds me I have to actually listen to Slaughter... I've never listened to the whole thing
	8:09pm Dean: Speaking of Ronson, can anybody identify the unknown figure at top left in the picture of Jeff Beck with Bowie's Stardust gang here: https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2023/jan/12/jeff-beck-a-life-in-pictures
	8:09pm StringOFperils: Both Slaughter and Play Don't Worry are worth the trip...if you like this.
	8:12pm Uncle Michael: Dean, that's the well-known "unknown".
	8:13pm Dean: Is it? I didn't know. Looks so familiar...
	8:13pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:12 He's buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Bowie Hanger-On.
	8:14pm Uncle Michael: My Dog Howard
	8:14pm Dean: Oh! So it's Ulysses S. Grant! Thanks, Roberto.
	8:15pm phat: ↳ Song: "My Dark Hour" by "Steve Miller Band" Funny. I didn't know Steve Miller recycled that riff.
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ phat @8:15 from?
	8:16pm Dean: Anyway, there's another photo in that Guardian spread with Brian May meeting QE2. I bet the Queen jokes flowed like claret!
	8:17pm phat: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:16 That's the same guitar riff from Fly Like an Eagle
	8:17pm Uncle Michael: Well, get a couple of bottles into Liz and woo baby...
	8:18pm Uncle Michael: ↳ phat @8:17 ahhh...so it is
	8:18pm CDToaster: Hi Uncle, nice Twitch video to you. I tried to "sign up" but I was denied due to my NOT having a cell phone. It seems many "things" are being denied to folks who are unable to "text" or provide mobile phone numbers. I'm not falling victim to the pressure, though. I've lived 70 years without a cell phone so I suppose I can do another 20 without one.
	8:19pm phat: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:18 Any enterprising record exec would have sued him, or something.
	8:19pm Uncle Michael: CDT, I just exploit Twitch for the video embed...there's no real Hinky Dinky Time benefit to signing up.
	🛒 8:19pm WR: ↳ Dean @8:09 Dean, on a thread I saw on FB the guy with the wine glass was identified as Tim Buckley. I would second guess that, but a lot of knowledgeable people were commenting adding corrections so at least a good maybe. The busy headed gent on the other side was identified as Edgar Broughton (sp?).
	8:19pm Uncle Michael: ↳ phat @8:19 He wouldn't be the first to sue himself!
	8:20pm Listener Robert: ↳ CDToaster @8:18 Me too, facing same difficulties.
	8:21pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ CDToaster @8:18 Twitch sign up is only good for chatting, which is done here and not there. No need to bother!
	8:21pm phat: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "The Nobles" Bit pitchy
	8:21pm Listener Robert: So many places online, if I've been allowed at all, I have to check a box saying I'll supply a cell # "later".
	8:21pm StringOFperils: Pitchy dark
	8:22pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Really enjoying listening to the show while I make dinner.
	8:22pm Listener Robert: Can't deal with Uber w/o, not just a cell phone, but a smart one.
	8:23pm Uncle Michael: What's for dinner, Hopey?
	8:23pm Dean: Interesting, WR. I don't know enough about Tim Buckley even to fake an opinion, but I do see that the guy in the photo has bushy eyebrows. Maybe he's the U Idaho murderer?
	8:24pm Uncle Michael: I was gonna guess Gino Vannelli.
	8:25pm CDToaster: @Michael: Thanks for explaining. @Hopey: Thanks for clarifying. @Robert: It's quite interesting to live these days without a cell phone, isn't it? I think I'd hate to carry that thing around.
	8:26pm phat: I've always thought that the guesses of Tim Buckley being the mystery hanger on were good guesses. But it's not him.
	8:26pm Dean: Looks like the Guardian photo is reversed. Lotsa lefties among 'em. I have a cellphone, but it's an old flip-thing and I have refused text service, because it's a pain in the ass.
	8:28pm CDToaster: @Michael: Looks like a really sweet studio you have there, Uncle. Thanks for sharing that portion of your life with us.
	8:29pm Uncle Michael: ↳ CDToaster @8:28 Thank you. Come by for my regular show and it's easier to see in the daylight.
	8:31pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:23 I'm making pizza dough for a pan pizza. It takes awhile to make and then has to ferment in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
	8:33pm Listener Robert: Just wondering what those of us thrown into the dungeon would be made to listen to.
	8:34pm Dean: Pizza dough takes 12 hours?! I've made it, and successfully, with more like one or two. Add honey, by the way.
	8:35pm Uncle Michael: I've made various doughs from between 20 minutes and 72 hours. Tomorrow's will be about 2 hours.
	🛒 8:35pm Alvy Singer: Excellent Human League deep cut UM.
	8:36pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "The Human League" I prefer the Feline League. Cool tune tho.
	8:37pm Listener Robert: I give pizza dough at least overnight, and found it does make a dif vs. just using it within 2 hours, but that extra days of aging in the refrigerator as some practice gives no further improvement. However, my batch is enough for 2 pizzas, so at least one of them ages at least another day anyway.
	8:38pm Hopey Sockmonkey: ↳ Song: "Darkness" by "The Human League" I haven't listened to this album in a long time. Thank you for reminding me how good it is!
	8:38pm Uncle Michael: Different kinds of pizza require different approaches to the dough.
	8:39pm Dean: My pizza cred is tenuous, anyway, because my choice for "best pizza" is a joint in unincorporated LA County that does nothing right according to the common reception.
	8:40pm CDToaster: @Michael: I've just retired from the MTA (hence my name, (mta) Tony) so I'll be able to catch all your upcoming shows. Btw, I'm one of fmu's longest listeners, ever since Nov. '67 @age 14. I never turned the dial since.
	8:40pm phat: ↳ Song: "Darkness (L'Immortaliste)" by "Be Bop Deluxe" Definitely need to listen to more Be Bop Deluxe.
	8:41pm Dean: This BBD tune is pretty damn corny. I saw them live at Santa Monica long ago.
	8:41pm Uncle Michael: could this vocal be more "bowie-esque"?
	8:41pm Roberto: ↳ CDToaster @8:40 Thanks for schlepping us around!
	8:41pm Uncle Michael: Welcome to the fold, CDT.
	8:41pm Listener Robert: ↳ Dean @8:39 People have very different tastes in pizza. Few like the way I make it, which leaves the vegetables deliberately crisp because I don't pre-cook them.
	8:42pm phat: It's awesome
	8:42pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:41 Yeah, years ago SM Ken was looking for fake Bowie tracks to play on his show. This would probably have qualified.
	8:43pm phat: I'm now if the opinion that Hedwig was more inspired by that than anything.
	8:44pm Dean: It could be more Bowie-esque. It fits better in the Acid Jazz Hands mold. Rock stars who attempt opera (see Andrea Bocelli) expose their shortcomings pretty quickly.
	8:45pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Ribbon Of Darkness" by "Marty Robbins" metaphorical darkness!
	8:46pm Dean: The outlier pizza joint of which I speak does not pre-cook the veggies. Don't get me wrong, there are pizzas here in the Berkeley area (Cheeseboard!) that rightly command attention, but I like the place where the local soccer and baseball teams convene after a game.
	8:51pm bigplanetnoise: UM! Such a fun show tonight!!
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: Fatha!
	8:52pm CDToaster: It was only a month ago I discovered Spade Cooley murdered his wife/girlfriend and was pardoned by the President who told us to just say no to drugs.
	8:52pm Uncle Michael: Bob! Thanks!
	8:53pm bigplanetnoise: Fave Marty song!!
	8:53pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Tonight's dinner is ready so I gotta run. Thanks for doing the extra shift tonight, UM! Have a good Friday night and weekend, y'all!
	8:54pm Uncle Michael: See Ya Hopey!
	8:55pm Roberto: Nocturnal UM rules! Until next time y'all.
	8:55pm spodiodi: thanks, UM!
	8:56pm StringOFperils: Hinky Dinky Speed Date. I'll call you next week, I promise.
	8:56pm CDToaster: After years in jail, Reagan pardoned him (Cooley), then Spade died the next day. Karma at work.
	🛒 8:56pm WR: Wait, already the after dark HDT is ending? Man, the day is flying past. Thank you, Sir!
	8:57pm Dean: A pleasant Friday surprise: extra hours of the Unk. The "Albatross" bed music twice!
	8:57pm phat: Spade Cooley had a dark AF story, too.
	8:58pm phat: Good lord.
	8:58pm Listener Robert: Bye-bye and good night, with thanks for the pleasure.
	8:59pm Dean: "Right wing lunatic" suggests we should hear some early Skrewdriver before they went bonkers.
	8:59pm bigplanetnoise: Thank you, UM!!
	9:00pm phat: Holy crap. Stand Up Records is run by a buddy of mine.
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Mr Uncle Michael! You brought light into our lives.
	9:01pm Dean: And I know a guy who helped produce that FT record.
	9:01pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone!
	9:01pm Dean: Glen Banks
