Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from March 17, 2023 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.

Uncle Michael is my secret weapon. When I begin to despair of finding that special album to make my show considerably less sucky, I cast my searchlight with the UM logo heavenward, and the next thing you know comes His Booming Voice: "Stand back, citizens - that means you too, Stork ya cockamamie!" And with shocking frequency, The Great Scrounger somehow finds, and spirits into my sweaty little hands a thing of great rarity and aural beauty. I don't want to know how he pulls it off. I just hope no one is too badly hurt in the process. Thank you, UM!

I will share this Dead Nerd story and then shut the fuck up: My friend Mark who knew the Dead from their Palo Alto days visited them at their L.A. house in the Spring of 1966. They were upstairs in the dope room getting high. Bob Weir said " I showed Neil Cassidy how to roll a joint." Jerry Garcia snorted "Yeah right, Neil was rolling joints while you were still in diapers.' Undaunted, Bob replied "Well, I showed him a NEW way." True story.

If that happened on terrestrial radio, WFMU could ABSOLUTELY lose its broadcast license.

Back from a long shop (for little stuff). Needed Sesame Seeds, the local supermarket has a small bottle for much money. I found an Asian Market nearby, got 2 biggish bags for a few bucks. Out of curiosity, looked at their fish section-everything was about 1/3 oF what I spent at the local fish market (or at the local supermarkets). Now, if I can only sell the family on fish with heads and tails on...

Ha, sounding like Kermit makes me think of the modem connection and control protocol, so I'm imagining whooshing and warbling sounds.

I wouldn't call the modem an analog device. If it was a faxmodem, the fax side could be analog. But since the modem tones are constrained to certain frequencies, I consider data modems to be digital.
