	🛒 12:06pm dutchtheo: Woof, Unk, moo, shoppers
	12:06pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Every Dog Has His Day" by "Sippie Wallace" Is this a Let's Active cover?
	🛒 12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Every Dog Has His Day" by "Sippie Wallace" Not quite a Century. Aged astonishingly well - if the shellac hadn't.
	12:06pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	🛒 12:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Every Dog Must Have His Day" by "Johnnie Temple" Year after Robert Johnson's last of two sessions...
	🛒 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:07 - which were of course Solo...
	12:09pm dan: In the realm of 3 aspects of entertainment (film, animation and music), 3 greats representing each one have left us. RIP William Friedkin, Robbie Robertson and Johnny "Dale Gribble" Hardwick.
	🛒 12:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dan @12:09 - & the Sugarman.
	12:10pm dan: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:09 How can I forget Rodriguez? Must have been front page news in South Africa.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: David LaFlamme too.
	12:14pm Gerry from Miami: @dan. I loved Hardwick as the obnoxious neighbor of the Hill family on "King of the Hill."
	12:16pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Uncle Michael, folks!
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: "you owned a boot and a shoe"
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Pauly!
	12:17pm dan: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:14 King Of The Hill is one of the greatest written shows in the history of television. Dale had all the best lines and stole every scene. Johnny Hardwick not only voiced the character, but molded it to suit his own personality. He is irreplaceable.
	12:19pm bradford: Greetings UM & all!
	🛒 12:19pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:12 David LaFlamme lived a life straight out of a Jack London book. He grew up in a log cabin high in the mountains(His father was a forest ranger) became first chair violinist in an orchestra, then the leader of It's a Beautiful Day. No white bird him.
	12:20pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Every Dog Has His Day" by "The '5' Royales" Good aft, Uncle Michael and all. The dog is having his day and his way at this moment by sleeping on my pillow.
	12:20pm Gerry from Miami: Uncle Michael, while in Vietnam, my fellow soldiers and I listened to the debut album of the San Francisco band, It's a Beautiful Day, every day in late 1970 and early 1971. "White Bird," David LaFlamme's most famous composition, was our theme song. RIP, David.
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Andres! Gerry!
	12:21pm dan: What's also saddening is that with Robbie Robertson's death, Garth Hudson, the eldest of the 5 members of The Band, is now its last survivor. He just turned 86 last week.
	12:21pm northguineahills: meow? moo?
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: ngh!
	12:23pm unpopularfred: not familiar at all with It's a Beautiful Day. Might we be hearing some today?
	12:23pm Gerry from Miami: Garth Hudson is now in an assisted living situation, quite frail from all reports. He was the best!
	🛒 12:24pm egould: Good morning Uncle Michael. Greetings to everyone present. Let’s try to have a pleasant time together. For a change.
	🛒 12:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & it is a beautiful day here NewHampshuh.

	12:31pm doctorjazz: Hello, Hinks, Dinks, Uncles, Streamers!
	🛒 12:31pm egould: Hey UM, did the Hinky Dinky store locations play in-store music over a loudspeaker? If so, what kind of music? Did stores subscribe to Muzak?
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Doc! I don't remember, egould. I will inquire.
	12:33pm Andres: I also didn’t know the dog days were so specific on the calendar. I always thought they were the latter part of August. Those days being the cruelest part of summer with the anticipated return to school in September here in Canada.
	12:34pm dan: Any songs by The Band on today's show UM?
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: I hardly ever address questions about what is upcoming on the show, dan.
	12:39pm Marie de Queens: Hey UM, hey All! Digging the show--really like this Rosali
	🛒 12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Waited All Day" by "Rosali" Thot maybe Meg Baird.
	12:40pm Marie de Queens: So interesting about "dog days"--could be cause for celebrations
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:40pm Orthofrancis: ↳ Song: "Waited All Day" by "Rosali" what a great vocal line
	🛒 12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Andres @12:33 Name relating to the reappearance of the star Sirius - the DogStar - thot of as the hottest period...
	12:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Song, It's an Outburst: Or, The Est... nice choice...
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Orthofrancis @12:40 Orthofrancis! Just gorgeous.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:41 Yep!
	12:43pm Asheville Jon: it's a beautiful day
	12:43pm Marie de Queens: How is your recovery coming along, UM?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	12:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Hot Summer Day" by "It's a Beautiful Day" I might have mentioned this on the chat before but I'll mention it again. My dad went to see Yes at some venue in The Bronx in the early 70s, he didn't care much for Yes, but really enjoyed the opening act which was "It's A Beautiful Day".
	🛒 12:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Hot Summer Day" by "It's a Beautiful Day" Nice one!
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:43 Really, really well...thank you for asking.
	12:45pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!!
	🛒 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 Nice.
	12:46pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 Oh, that's great. Sometimes it seems like once one gets past a certain point in healing, it goes along faster after that
	12:47pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 great to hear!
	12:48pm Marie de Queens: The healing powers of our bodies (and all animals?) are amazing
	12:48pm bradford: ↳ Song: "To Kingdom Come" by "The Band" excellent choice!
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: bradford!
	🛒 12:49pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 Thumbs up for healing.
	12:49pm dan: ↳ Song: "To Kingdom Come" by "The Band" There were no better group of musicians than The Band. All 5 brought their own brand of musicianship to the table and it worked.
	🛒 12:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all! Tribute time. Thanks for the LaFlamme. Doubt that he's getting much attention anywhere else.
	🛒 12:51pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:48 Since she loves funny shapes, I gave Chresti a sponge(among other things) for her birthday.
	🛒 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robbie Robertson offset Dylan like MickRonson offset Boowie. Always on point. Maybe not on everybody's quick shortlist of Favorite Gittarists - yet of course those Dylan recordings & performances had an influence powerful, deep & broad. Oh ...& TheBand made Music that seemed like FolkMusic that had always been the moment it first materialized.
	12:54pm dan: Robbie Robertson sang lead vocals on the Last Waltz Suite number "Out Of The Blue"
	12:54pm Gerry from Miami: Just a small mention of Pattie Santos, vocalist on that first It's a Beautiful Day album. She was killed in an auto accident at the age of 40.
	12:55pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:51 Nice. She has some cool pics of funny shapes on her profile. Is she a sculptor, perchance?
	🛒 12:56pm Franco Twinkie: Epic painter and kitchen table doodler.
	12:57pm Pedro in Arlington: Robertson's memoir is quite good. There's an anecdote in there I never heard about talking to Buddy Holly at Maple Leaf Gardens after a show. The doc about the making of the second Band album has some truly revealing comments by Robbie as he sits at a board and breaks down each part of the tracks and how the songs were composed. The LA Times says the soundtrack for the upcoming Scorsese film is Robertson's finest film work. Something to look forward to.
	12:58pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:56 Oh, neato! I am a dabbler in oils @)
	🛒 12:59pm Franco Twinkie: Oh!?
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	🛒 1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Masters Of War" by "Mountain" WarPigs is a rewrite of MastersOfWar after all. A completely bitchen one. An essential reduction of it almost ...with a Witchy overlay...
	1:00pm bigplanetnoise: Hi UM and everyone!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:54 thanks dan
	1:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Masters Of War" by "Mountain" mountain, 2007? hmmmm, never noticed a return album...
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	🛒 1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:57 Compelling no doubt.
	1:01pm adamdoesit: Hi UM, flappy ears, and pointy ears, too.
	🛒 1:02pm DjLorraine: Hello to Uncle Michael and listeners.
	🛒 1:02pm egould: ↳ northguineahills @1:01 Because they never went away!
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: adam! DJL!
	1:05pm dan: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... Hell to the yes!!!!!!!!!
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Whiteman recorded this with Gershwin on piano in 1924 and in 1927, and honestly...I don't know which recording this is.
	🛒 1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: First there was a Mountain then there was a Mountain now there ain't
	1:07pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... If you ever have the chance, check out the film King of Jazz-- absolutely BONKERS early technicolor film starring Whiteman and his orchestra.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: ↳ The Oscar @1:07 Oscar! It's great!
	1:07pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... Every now and again, I hear it in my mind when the New York City skyline heaves into view. Usually, it's more like ugggh… here we go again.
	1:08pm dan: ↳ The Oscar @1:07 Saw it on TCM. It has its highs and lows. The Rhapsody In Blue sequence is the apex.
	🛒 1:08pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... I don't recall ever hearing this version
	🛒 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gershwin truly & organically produced an amalgam of Musics that could have happened nowhere & no time & from no one else.
	1:09pm sinner: I’ve been lost on aisle 4. Cookies, crackers and chips.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: ↳ adamdoesit @1:07 The Andre Previn effect. "Manhattan"
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Sinner!
	1:12pm Andres: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:10 Hard to think of one without the other.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Andres @1:12 I think of United Airlines...sadly.
	1:14pm TDK60: Howdy, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 1:14pm DjLorraine: ↳ northguineahills @1:01 Samsies. But before i realized what fmu was i emailed SMK and requested Mississippi Queen. 😂
	1:14pm efd: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:12 yeah, I've been sitting here at my desk for the past 8 or 9 minutes waiting for the plane to take off!
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: TDK! efd!
	1:15pm Dean: Uncle Michael the Pelvis!
	1:15pm Orthofrancis: As a trombonist, RIB was always one of the more fun pieces to play in an orchestra. Gershwin always wrote fun interesting and great stuff
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @1:15 Dog Day Afternoon: SCIATICA! SCIATICA! SCIATICA!
	1:19pm Gerry from Miami: I remember playing the board game Trivial Pursuit back in the 70s. One of my playing partners, a black man, was appalled and offended when the question card came up asking, "Who was known as "the King of Jazz." Answer written on the back side of the card---Paul Whiteman. "No way!" he exclaimed. Ellington, Armstrong, Parker maybe. But never Whiteman! Yes, Mr. Whiteman was known by that title. He really did a lot to popularize big band jazz music in the 20s and 30s. Good subject for a "discussion," no?
	1:19pm sinner: Hallelujah!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ sinner @1:19 Where's your zebra hat?
	1:21pm StringOFperils: The Lord touched me , for 10% of the take
	1:21pm sinner: Isaiah’s got it.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	1:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:19 i without reservation agree with your friend.
	1:22pm coelacanth∅: (if there was indeed a king of jazz, which fortunately there is not!)
	1:23pm StringOFperils: Hi, UM! Hello, sinner 'n' all!
	🛒 1:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:19 ...& he had to be named 'Whiteman' ...popularized it - had good arrangements probly ...not an innovator particularly, correct me as appropriate...
	1:24pm coelacanth∅: hey StringO'
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" ok, so why not...
	1:24pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" there are some rippin' live versions of this on youtube
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: By the way, I really liked that rendition of "Rhapsody in Blue." Great clarinetist!
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" Has got that great pizzicato...
	🛒 1:25pm egould: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" I wish Seattle was cold and rainy. Six more weeks…
	1:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:24 can't think of a reason...
	1:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:19 Gerry, I'd long dismissed Whiteman and his orchestra as a pallid and square imitation of jazz, but I recently read that, live, that band could cut. Maybe I misunderestimated them.
	1:26pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" We played this a lot in its day .. this record had no credits on it!
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ adamdoesit @1:26 Bandleader is a Thing too. Especially then when it was Big Bands...
	1:27pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" This was a popular album cut. Great San Fran longhair stuff.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:26 It was also a loooong time holdout...in terms of not seeing a release on CD. We used to sell copies of this for a lot.
	1:28pm StringOFperils: Today, where I am @ 1:30 in the afternoon, it looks and feels just like It's A Beautiful Day's first album cover. Sans the dress and bonnet. Havin' a little stretch to this though
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @1:26 that's about how i feel about Whiteman.
	🛒 1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" Oh you used to hear this often enuff. Love these photos of David LaFlamme with his Electric Violin - with the Volume Knob on it ...very kewl...
	1:31pm Asheville Jon: i have a copy right next to my desk right now
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: last i checked on a popular music streaming service, a couple years ago, only the good but quite inferior live versions of white bird were available. pissed me off!
	1:32pm dan: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:31 A reason why I don't go on streaming music services.
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: i personally wouldn't doubt Whiteman's talent; just he was barely jazz.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: Had to shop (using the Handy Dandy Hinky Dinky shopping bag), back now (did listen while driving).
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @1:34 exxxxx-cellent
	1:38pm Marie de Queens: Hey, I received my swag a little while ago and got my shopping bag. Has to be one of the most solid swag items ever. Really well constructed. Seems very durable. Thanks, UM!
	🛒 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You couldn't really have an integrated Jazz band (orchestra practically) then of course. But the White Bandleaders would often hire Black Writers & Arrangers - which was @ least a paying job for them. So ...that sort of thing. As for TheBeatles ...the sort of easy TimeLife documentary that there was nothing between Elvis joining the Army & TheBeatles landing in the USA is both grotesquely & offensives False ...& in another sense broadly & gesturally True...
	1:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:38 yeah, mine hasn't broke yet! (always a testament to robust quality)
	1:40pm Dean: This standards box is the bomb. I still dig his older standards records, too, a couple on Magenta (sibling of Winham Hill) and a couple on Steeplechase.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: i agree about the hinky dinky INSULATED shopping bag. wish the color were pretty much anything else! but whatevs, it's great!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:38 Nothing rinky dinky from Hinky Dinky!
	🛒 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:39 TimeLife sort of doc Narrative ...offensiveLY...
	1:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:38 Love mine! Have used it quite a bit. (Not sure of the benedfit of having it zipper, when it doesn't actually fully seal, but it really is Handy Dandy)
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 I chose "grocery bag" color.
	1:42pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @1:41 i've used the zipper to keep my groceries dry when walking home in the rain...
	1:42pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:40 @))--love that you chose "grocery bag" color
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Straight Street" by "Anthony Braxton" Pretty tame (for a Braxton track, that is). Like the track (Braxton is likely a bit tamer due to age, he's entitled...)
	1:43pm Marie de Queens: ↳ doctorjazz @1:41 right on
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:41 haha i hadn't even thought of that! i like it okay now!
	1:43pm Dean: No, @doctorjazz, across his career Braxton has sat back now and then, e.g., those records I mentioned above.
	1:43pm Marie de Queens: ↳ northguineahills @1:39 alright! And I know you are using it in that hot/humid FLA air
	1:44pm Gerry from Miami: @Webhamster Henry. Not very nice of CBS to omit credits on It's a Beautiful Day's debut eh? We have all the data now, even the fact that Bruce Steinberg played harmonica on one cut!
	🛒 1:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: An actually useful swag item!
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: i like the zippers. i think the top being closed helps it retain cold, even if it's not a complete seal.
	1:45pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @1:42 before looking at the playlist, and seeing your comment, i was going to reference "9 Standards (Quartet)" 1993.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Back in the day, every grocery bag I recall had red print on brown paper.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	🛒 1:45pm DjLorraine: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 I'm proud to carry the bag & i like the neutral color. It's my favorite shopping bag ever. I just wish there were more music community folks locally.
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: - and the plastic bottom is VERY helpful to keep things upright.
	1:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:45 we had green, blue, or red on brown.
	1:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:43 Today only 97, yesterday, 98, M&T, 99. ( and we got rain yesterday and Tuesday)
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: i remember when the A&P logo was blue ink for minute, sort of blue green; then back to red.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I sought a bag I was familiar with from other promotional uses. I didn't risk a bag I couldn't vouch for.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DjLorraine @1:45 lots of music people here, and folks who know wfmu; but i don't think people notice the bag so much
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:43 Hi there Marie.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: This is NOT te single version od "Golden Glass". Pinning down the provenance was unsuccessful.
	🛒 1:52pm egould: ↳ Song: "Golden Glass" by "The Misunderstood" Jammer.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:43 True, @Dean, I know many of his "In The Tradition" dates, but the sound of his playing (his tone) makes me think he's not quite got the wind he once had (neither do I). I knew that comment would get some response, though...
	🛒 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what would have happened with the BeachBoys & FratRawkers like the Kingsmen ('LouieLouie') & Motown - & Soul ...if TheBeatles hadn't arrived & just consumed the Charts initially ...& in the process ramped up the whole Industry to another Quantum Level & no less ...it's too great a hypothetical for me @ least to process. As for what kind of Rawk'n'Rolla they were ...as Paul always says they were a great little hardworking ClubBand - who by their early 20s had assimilated ChuckBerry, LittleRichard, BuddyHolly, the Everlys & who can even say how much more. & presented a new Thing that echoed all this back - in unbelievable & (to the USA) unimaginably intelligent Style. If they stunted the commercial Progress of Soul (which seemed to do fine anyhow really) - &/or GarageRawk (which they may have...) - then they opened the door for the Stones & Who & an untold plethora anyhow... I guess I should read this book ! :D ...
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:52 You'd get a lot out of it, Rev.
	1:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @1:52 You can hear that change in tone in Lee Konitz's later recordings as well. Singers, as they age, often develop a wobbly, wider vibrato. It's a natural phenomenon. (Benny Carter is one who played into his 90's, but you couldn't hear his playing change in a bad way. But he did have to give up the trumpet, which he played very well in his younger years).
	1:59pm Orthofrancis: GIGANTOR!!
	🛒 1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In RawkBands - seems it's often the poor Drummers who are notably diminished in advancing age ...so Physical a thing it is...
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:52 i'd say the beatles did very much the opposite for r&b. brought it to the mainstream.
	1:59pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Song: "Gigantor" by "The Dickies" YES!!!!!
	🛒 1:59pm egould: ↳ Song: "Gigantor" by "The Dickies" I saw the Dickies open for the Ramones in 1988 at the Vogue in Indianapolis. Fun ass time.
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: Dickies!
	2:00pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🛒 2:01pm egould: ↳ pot8o @2:00 ‘Sup spud?
	2:01pm βrian: Who needs a turtleneck when you've got a dickie?
	🛒 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:59 Well - one thing TheBeatles did - & SmokeyRobinson for one says he'll always love then for - is state in no uncertain terms & without hesitation that they adored Black Music... What happened in the actual Market may have been another matter to some degree...
	2:02pm pot8o: ↳ egould @2:01 nothing much, how about you?
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: hi pot80!
	2:04pm Gerry from Miami: My favorite Dickies cut has to be "Stuck in a Pagoda With Tritia Toyota."
	2:04pm Andres: ¡CUMBIA!
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: pot8o! Brian!
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: RR i'm just 1 person who heard the beatles' versions first of almost every r&b song they covered
	2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ βrian @2:01 Im sure I HAD a Dickie back in the day, for a minute...
	2:05pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Straight Street" by "Anthony Braxton" Until very recently I believed Anthony Braxton was the father of Toni Braxton. I always wondered if he ever showed up on her reality shows.
	2:06pm northguineahills: cumbia! and i heard dj jazz in there beforehand!
	2:07pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:01 Rev an all: Interesting ponderings. I think the Beatles weren't ultimately a dance band like a lot of earlier rock was. They brought a ballad-like approach that morphed into folkrock, later the psych rock. The part about knocking Black artists off the charts is more complex. Certainly racism played a part in the music biz. It did everywhere else. I'd like to read that book. Interesting too that the Fab4 spoke out against segregation and Lennon especially was a left-progressive antiracist activist.
	🛒 2:07pm DjLorraine: Doctorjazz!
	2:08pm Andres: Looking forward to an icy cocktail before this afternoon is over. Cumbia is pushing it up in the schedule.
	🛒 2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:05 - right. & then ...the Stones. & then from the UK - the yARdbiRdS who in fact taught us to Play Blues Gittar. To us ...litte white U.S. American boys. Which is both obvious & well known ...& really weird & ironic if viewed broadly & objectively enuff...
	2:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ The Oscar @2:05 I believe it was Fred (could be wrong) who hae a story about how he had a discussion/argument about Braxton with a coworker, and they figured out after some heated discussion that they were each referencing the other Braxton.
	2:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ DjLorraine @2:07 Hi DJLorraine!
	🛒 2:09pm egould: ↳ pot8o @2:02 I’m making chicken broth. Think I’ll go pour me a little drinkee-poo.
	2:10pm Andres: ↳ Song: "The Dum Dum Ditty" by "The Shangri-Las" Pure gold!!
	2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ egould @2:09 Of chicken broth???

	2:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Leave My Kitten Alone" by "Little Willie John" I'm having the next-level experience of singing meow-meow along with song lyrics that actually are meow-meow.
	🛒 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @2:07 Of course. All that stuff that Howard Goodall lays out in specific Technical terms in his video about TheBeatles ...as a Classical guy - he no less than creds them with saving the whole Western Harmonic System practically !! - whereas, as a Punkass Rawker kid I saw it from the opposite lens: TheBeatles started in suits & then brought the Avant-garde to the Masses...
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Leave My Kitten Alone" by "Little Willie John" (speaking of r&b songs i heard the beatles' first)
	🛒 2:12pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:10 I’m making broth from a chicken carcass and my vegetable trimmings from the last month. The drink was just Smirnoff and coconut water over ice.
	2:13pm pot8o: ↳ doctorjazz @2:11 lot fancier than what i was planning on making, which is boxed mac & cheese mixed in with everything in the pantry that's close to the best by date
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:12 Yeah. I like Mr. Lennon's Vocals. Yerknow. Just a little. The fact that TheBeatles' cover versions are so distinctive says something I posit...
	2:15pm doctorjazz: Reading a good bio on Charlie Parker (speaking of music books), Kansas City Lightning, The Rise and Times of Charlie Parier, by Stanley Crouch.
	🛒 2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ pot8o @2:13 Some fave Mac&Chee additives : garlic, thyme, mushrooms, broccoli (that's Healthy ...right ??...)
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Morning Dew" by "The Nova Local" So many cool versions of this song out there.
	2:17pm adamdoesit: Tonite I'm going to one of those fancy new movie houses where they feed you and bring you drinx (a cineraunt? a moviestro?), and am rather looking forward to a fried chicken sandwich, tater tots, and a cider or two.
	🛒 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:15 Stanley Grouch ! :D Yeah that's gotta be good...
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:13 'thing is, they might've knocked r&b songs off the charts...along with everything else on the charts, which was mostly not r&b. in the long run they helped the r&b industry immensely.
	🛒 2:19pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:13 John invented rock n roll vocals. He’s pretty good.
	2:19pm TDK60: These Nova Locals sound like they lived down the road from Quicksilver Messenger Service and It's a Beautiful Day. Maybe even Blue Cheer. Maybe.
	2:20pm Gerry from Miami: Just who was Bonnie Dobson?
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:20 folkie
	2:21pm dan: ↳ Song: "Goin' Home" by "The Rolling Stones" Revolutionary to have a 10 minute song like this one for its time.
	2:22pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Goin' Home" by "The Rolling Stones" Great to hear Goin' Home; don't hear it much. It seemed to be one the first of those long/epic cuts of those Sixties. Rev, you're a step ahead...
	2:22pm pot8o: this set really mixes well with bryce's set
	🛒 2:23pm DjLorraine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:15 Sounds great!
	🛒 2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Aftermath' ...significant. TheStones caught up with the idea of an Album as a thing by then I think ...which I put it to you TheBeatles began to wake up to almost from the start !
	2:25pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, UM, but why did this one song become such an enduring classic?
	2:25pm TDK60: An early rock example might be Bo Diddley & Chuck Berry's 1964 duo album "Two Great Guitars" -- with 2 long songs: "Bo's Beat" and "Chuck's Beat."
	🛒 2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& a longer track means fewer Songs to come up with :D ...welcome to Psychedelia...
	🛒 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:25 ...besides we're all tripping balls ...play all night why don'cha...
	🛒 2:27pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:25 Prog rock bands had longer tracks, but they just strung three or four songs together and called it a “suite”.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: maybe the 'stones had listened to the grateful dead, who by 1966 were already playing >20 r&b songs, Thanks to Pig Pen.
	🛒 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @2:27 Pete Townshend with 'A Quick One' (ironic title) the pioneer there ...influenced by Girl Group cinematic vignettes in fact. As well as Musical Theater & all that.
	2:29pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:23 Revrab: True story" at a rock club show some 10approx yrs ago, I ran into two young /serious/ Stones heads, 20ish men, dressed just like 'em. I said "You guys look like you just stepped out of Aftermath."
	2:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:25 AND it also gives the DJ a bit of a break...
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:28 (over 20-minute that's supposed to say)
	2:30pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @2:25 ...and, by the way, that Bo & Chuck LP is a fine partee album.
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:28 The Dead having gestated in the Acid Tests. Unlike some Club like everybody else ever. They stuck with this coy approach to both the Muse ...& professional 'Success' a remarkably long time...
	2:31pm adamdoesit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:27 I found myself wondering why we say "tripping balls." Urbandictionary says it's short for "tripping one's balls off," which makes sense, yet still I visualize whirled peas.
	2:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @2:30 Hi TDK60!
	2:32pm TDK60: Andrew, howdy.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "King Of Clowns" by "Neil Sedaka" Am I the only one doing the tango?
	🛒 2:37pm egould: ↳ Song: "King Of Clowns" by "Neil Sedaka" This guy knew how to write a hit song.
	2:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ egould @2:37 He sure did.
	2:39pm dan: ↳ Song: "King Of Clowns" by "Neil Sedaka" No one can duplicate that voice of his. I knew it was Neil before checking the playlist, and I've never heard the song before.
	2:40pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "My Baby Likes To Be-Bop (And I Like To Be-Bop Too... None more hep.
	2:41pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Banho De Lua" by "Mutantes" Os Mutantes didn't destroy rock and roll?
	2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "My Baby Likes To Be-Bop (And I Like To Be-Bop Too... That would be when bebop just hit big!
	2:42pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Banho De Lua" by "Mutantes" It's conceivable there may have been cooler bands than Os Mutantes, but there certainly haven't been many.
	2:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ The Oscar @2:42 It's not a hill I want to die on, but they'd be my pick.
	🛒 2:44pm egould: ↳ Song: "Banho De Lua" by "Mutantes" Os Mutantes playing the Tractor Tavern in Seattle on the 25th.
	🛒 2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If TheBeatles destroyed RnR - they achieved what the piSToLs only rhetorically aspired to. Os Mutantes - an appropriate name. Showing how far-ranging & globally influential the energy & innovations of TheBeatles were - yet in an other rich & beautiful Culture producing another original & fully realized iteration of it.
	2:45pm TDK60: Catherine R + 2Bis: myy fave prog anarc Gauls!
	2:46pm Asheville Jon: speaking of trippin balls, Brother JT did a series of the same name. very trippy www.youtube.com...
	2:47pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Le Crime De L'enfant Dieu" by "Catherine Ribeiro ... I think it was DJ Fabio who hepped me to CR+ a few years ago, back in the Teens.
	2:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bei mir bist du schön (Means That You're Grand)" ... Nice (I can picture my mom putting this on, though it's more likely it was The Barry Sisters)!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @2:49 I think the band smokes on this version.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:50 Cool horns, it is a cool arrangement!
	🛒 2:51pm DjLorraine: And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light
	2:51pm Fridayzed: Dear listener hive-mind, any suggestions for a more modern (non-retro) equivalent to the andrews sisters?
	2:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:51 Back then, there were musicians that went back and forth between jazz groups and Klezmer bands.
	🛒 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:52 ...Gershwin maybe ??...
	2:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Fridayzed @2:51 I'm partial to Petra Haden's multitracked accapella recordings (she did at least 2)
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: noting at the time people started saying "tripping balls" to try to advance from saying "tripping my balls off" - i always think the latter when someone says the former; and always think how idiotic it is. ...like saying "i could care less".
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Fridayzed @2:51 Haden Triplets
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: pointer sisters? (kind of)
	2:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:54 Another Haden vocal delight!
	🛒 2:54pm WR: ↳ Fridayzed @2:51 there are a lot, here's some ladies who have been active since the 80s. www.pfistersisters.com... There are others.
	2:55pm adamdoesit: ↳ Fridayzed @2:51 Idk if they're modern now, but Dan Hicks' Hot Licks evoke the Andrews Sisters pretty directly. Maybe, in a way, Au Revoir Simone?
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: (but Uncle M's suggestion is closer)
	2:56pm Fridayzed: So many great suggestions, some not known to me, thank you all. I have some fun listening ahead of me
	🛒 2:57pm egould: Thank you Uncle Michael. You wove a sonic tapestry that should hang in the finest castles in Europe.
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:52 George Gershwin d. 1937, age 38
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, egould!
	2:57pm pot8o: thanks uncle michael! have a great week everyone!
	2:58pm northguineahills: thanks UM!

	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM!
	2:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All Too Soon" by "Peggy Lee And George Shearing A... I don't think Shearing, who was very well known at the time, is remembered as he should be, great pianist!
	🛒 2:59pm WR: Thank you, Uncle Michael.
	2:59pm Andres: Thanks, Uncle Michael! Onward to the cat days of summer!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 11, 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.

	🛒 12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Every Dog Has His Day" by "Sippie Wallace" Not quite a Century. Aged astonishingly well - if the shellac hadn't.

	12:19pm bradford: Greetings UM & all!
	🛒 12:19pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:12 David LaFlamme lived a life straight out of a Jack London book. He grew up in a log cabin high in the mountains(His father was a forest ranger) became first chair violinist in an orchestra, then the leader of It's a Beautiful Day. No white bird him.

	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Andres! Gerry!

	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Doc! I don't remember, egould. I will inquire.
	12:33pm Andres: I also didn’t know the dog days were so specific on the calendar. I always thought they were the latter part of August. Those days being the cruelest part of summer with the anticipated return to school in September here in Canada.
	12:34pm dan: Any songs by The Band on today's show UM?
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: I hardly ever address questions about what is upcoming on the show, dan.
	12:39pm Marie de Queens: Hey UM, hey All! Digging the show--really like this Rosali
	🛒 12:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Waited All Day" by "Rosali" Thot maybe Meg Baird.
	12:40pm Marie de Queens: So interesting about "dog days"--could be cause for celebrations
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:40pm Orthofrancis: ↳ Song: "Waited All Day" by "Rosali" what a great vocal line
	🛒 12:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Andres @12:33 Name relating to the reappearance of the star Sirius - the DogStar - thot of as the hottest period...
	12:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "This Is Not a Song, It's an Outburst: Or, The Est... nice choice...
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Orthofrancis @12:40 Orthofrancis! Just gorgeous.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:41 Yep!
	12:43pm Asheville Jon: it's a beautiful day
	12:43pm Marie de Queens: How is your recovery coming along, UM?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: Jon!
	12:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Hot Summer Day" by "It's a Beautiful Day" I might have mentioned this on the chat before but I'll mention it again. My dad went to see Yes at some venue in The Bronx in the early 70s, he didn't care much for Yes, but really enjoyed the opening act which was "It's A Beautiful Day".
	🛒 12:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Hot Summer Day" by "It's a Beautiful Day" Nice one!
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:43 Really, really well...thank you for asking.
	12:45pm Asheville Jon: UM!!!!
	🛒 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 Nice.
	12:46pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 Oh, that's great. Sometimes it seems like once one gets past a certain point in healing, it goes along faster after that
	12:47pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 great to hear!
	12:48pm Marie de Queens: The healing powers of our bodies (and all animals?) are amazing
	12:48pm bradford: ↳ Song: "To Kingdom Come" by "The Band" excellent choice!
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: bradford!
	🛒 12:49pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:45 Thumbs up for healing.
	12:49pm dan: ↳ Song: "To Kingdom Come" by "The Band" There were no better group of musicians than The Band. All 5 brought their own brand of musicianship to the table and it worked.
	🛒 12:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all! Tribute time. Thanks for the LaFlamme. Doubt that he's getting much attention anywhere else.
	🛒 12:51pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:48 Since she loves funny shapes, I gave Chresti a sponge(among other things) for her birthday.
	🛒 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Robbie Robertson offset Dylan like MickRonson offset Boowie. Always on point. Maybe not on everybody's quick shortlist of Favorite Gittarists - yet of course those Dylan recordings & performances had an influence powerful, deep & broad. Oh ...& TheBand made Music that seemed like FolkMusic that had always been the moment it first materialized.
	12:54pm dan: Robbie Robertson sang lead vocals on the Last Waltz Suite number "Out Of The Blue"
	12:54pm Gerry from Miami: Just a small mention of Pattie Santos, vocalist on that first It's a Beautiful Day album. She was killed in an auto accident at the age of 40.
	12:55pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:51 Nice. She has some cool pics of funny shapes on her profile. Is she a sculptor, perchance?
	🛒 12:56pm Franco Twinkie: Epic painter and kitchen table doodler.
	12:57pm Pedro in Arlington: Robertson's memoir is quite good. There's an anecdote in there I never heard about talking to Buddy Holly at Maple Leaf Gardens after a show. The doc about the making of the second Band album has some truly revealing comments by Robbie as he sits at a board and breaks down each part of the tracks and how the songs were composed. The LA Times says the soundtrack for the upcoming Scorsese film is Robertson's finest film work. Something to look forward to.
	12:58pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:56 Oh, neato! I am a dabbler in oils @)
	🛒 12:59pm Franco Twinkie: Oh!?
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	🛒 1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Masters Of War" by "Mountain" WarPigs is a rewrite of MastersOfWar after all. A completely bitchen one. An essential reduction of it almost ...with a Witchy overlay...
	1:00pm bigplanetnoise: Hi UM and everyone!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:54 thanks dan
	1:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Masters Of War" by "Mountain" mountain, 2007? hmmmm, never noticed a return album...
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	🛒 1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @12:57 Compelling no doubt.

	1:03pm Uncle Michael: adam! DJL!
	1:05pm dan: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... Hell to the yes!!!!!!!!!
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Whiteman recorded this with Gershwin on piano in 1924 and in 1927, and honestly...I don't know which recording this is.
	🛒 1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: First there was a Mountain then there was a Mountain now there ain't
	1:07pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... If you ever have the chance, check out the film King of Jazz-- absolutely BONKERS early technicolor film starring Whiteman and his orchestra.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: ↳ The Oscar @1:07 Oscar! It's great!
	1:07pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... Every now and again, I hear it in my mind when the New York City skyline heaves into view. Usually, it's more like ugggh… here we go again.
	1:08pm dan: ↳ The Oscar @1:07 Saw it on TCM. It has its highs and lows. The Rhapsody In Blue sequence is the apex.
	🛒 1:08pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Rhapsody in Blue" by "Paul Whiteman And His Conce... I don't recall ever hearing this version
	🛒 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gershwin truly & organically produced an amalgam of Musics that could have happened nowhere & no time & from no one else.
	1:09pm sinner: I’ve been lost on aisle 4. Cookies, crackers and chips.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: ↳ adamdoesit @1:07 The Andre Previn effect. "Manhattan"
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Sinner!
	1:12pm Andres: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:10 Hard to think of one without the other.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Andres @1:12 I think of United Airlines...sadly.
	1:14pm TDK60: Howdy, Uncle Michael.
	🛒 1:14pm DjLorraine: ↳ northguineahills @1:01 Samsies. But before i realized what fmu was i emailed SMK and requested Mississippi Queen. 😂
	1:14pm efd: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:12 yeah, I've been sitting here at my desk for the past 8 or 9 minutes waiting for the plane to take off!
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: TDK! efd!
	1:15pm Dean: Uncle Michael the Pelvis!
	1:15pm Orthofrancis: As a trombonist, RIB was always one of the more fun pieces to play in an orchestra. Gershwin always wrote fun interesting and great stuff
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @1:15 Dog Day Afternoon: SCIATICA! SCIATICA! SCIATICA!
	1:19pm Gerry from Miami: I remember playing the board game Trivial Pursuit back in the 70s. One of my playing partners, a black man, was appalled and offended when the question card came up asking, "Who was known as "the King of Jazz." Answer written on the back side of the card---Paul Whiteman. "No way!" he exclaimed. Ellington, Armstrong, Parker maybe. But never Whiteman! Yes, Mr. Whiteman was known by that title. He really did a lot to popularize big band jazz music in the 20s and 30s. Good subject for a "discussion," no?
	1:19pm sinner: Hallelujah!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ sinner @1:19 Where's your zebra hat?
	1:21pm StringOFperils: The Lord touched me , for 10% of the take
	1:21pm sinner: Isaiah’s got it.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	1:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:19 i without reservation agree with your friend.
	1:22pm coelacanth∅: (if there was indeed a king of jazz, which fortunately there is not!)
	1:23pm StringOFperils: Hi, UM! Hello, sinner 'n' all!
	🛒 1:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:19 ...& he had to be named 'Whiteman' ...popularized it - had good arrangements probly ...not an innovator particularly, correct me as appropriate...
	1:24pm coelacanth∅: hey StringO'
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" ok, so why not...
	1:24pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" there are some rippin' live versions of this on youtube
	1:24pm Gerry from Miami: By the way, I really liked that rendition of "Rhapsody in Blue." Great clarinetist!
	🛒 1:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" Has got that great pizzicato...
	🛒 1:25pm egould: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" I wish Seattle was cold and rainy. Six more weeks…
	1:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:24 can't think of a reason...
	1:26pm adamdoesit: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:19 Gerry, I'd long dismissed Whiteman and his orchestra as a pallid and square imitation of jazz, but I recently read that, live, that band could cut. Maybe I misunderestimated them.
	1:26pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" We played this a lot in its day .. this record had no credits on it!
	🛒 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ adamdoesit @1:26 Bandleader is a Thing too. Especially then when it was Big Bands...
	1:27pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" This was a popular album cut. Great San Fran longhair stuff.
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:26 It was also a loooong time holdout...in terms of not seeing a release on CD. We used to sell copies of this for a lot.
	1:28pm StringOFperils: Today, where I am @ 1:30 in the afternoon, it looks and feels just like It's A Beautiful Day's first album cover. Sans the dress and bonnet. Havin' a little stretch to this though
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ adamdoesit @1:26 that's about how i feel about Whiteman.
	🛒 1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "White Bird" by "It's A Beautiful Day" Oh you used to hear this often enuff. Love these photos of David LaFlamme with his Electric Violin - with the Volume Knob on it ...very kewl...
	1:31pm Asheville Jon: i have a copy right next to my desk right now
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: last i checked on a popular music streaming service, a couple years ago, only the good but quite inferior live versions of white bird were available. pissed me off!
	1:32pm dan: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:31 A reason why I don't go on streaming music services.
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: i personally wouldn't doubt Whiteman's talent; just he was barely jazz.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: Had to shop (using the Handy Dandy Hinky Dinky shopping bag), back now (did listen while driving).
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @1:34 exxxxx-cellent
	1:38pm Marie de Queens: Hey, I received my swag a little while ago and got my shopping bag. Has to be one of the most solid swag items ever. Really well constructed. Seems very durable. Thanks, UM!
	🛒 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You couldn't really have an integrated Jazz band (orchestra practically) then of course. But the White Bandleaders would often hire Black Writers & Arrangers - which was @ least a paying job for them. So ...that sort of thing. As for TheBeatles ...the sort of easy TimeLife documentary that there was nothing between Elvis joining the Army & TheBeatles landing in the USA is both grotesquely & offensives False ...& in another sense broadly & gesturally True...
	1:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:38 yeah, mine hasn't broke yet! (always a testament to robust quality)
	1:40pm Dean: This standards box is the bomb. I still dig his older standards records, too, a couple on Magenta (sibling of Winham Hill) and a couple on Steeplechase.
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: i agree about the hinky dinky INSULATED shopping bag. wish the color were pretty much anything else! but whatevs, it's great!
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:38 Nothing rinky dinky from Hinky Dinky!
	🛒 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:39 TimeLife sort of doc Narrative ...offensiveLY...
	1:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:38 Love mine! Have used it quite a bit. (Not sure of the benedfit of having it zipper, when it doesn't actually fully seal, but it really is Handy Dandy)
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 I chose "grocery bag" color.
	1:42pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @1:41 i've used the zipper to keep my groceries dry when walking home in the rain...
	1:42pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:40 @))--love that you chose "grocery bag" color
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Straight Street" by "Anthony Braxton" Pretty tame (for a Braxton track, that is). Like the track (Braxton is likely a bit tamer due to age, he's entitled...)
	1:43pm Marie de Queens: ↳ doctorjazz @1:41 right on
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:41 haha i hadn't even thought of that! i like it okay now!
	1:43pm Dean: No, @doctorjazz, across his career Braxton has sat back now and then, e.g., those records I mentioned above.
	1:43pm Marie de Queens: ↳ northguineahills @1:39 alright! And I know you are using it in that hot/humid FLA air
	1:44pm Gerry from Miami: @Webhamster Henry. Not very nice of CBS to omit credits on It's a Beautiful Day's debut eh? We have all the data now, even the fact that Bruce Steinberg played harmonica on one cut!
	🛒 1:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: An actually useful swag item!
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: i like the zippers. i think the top being closed helps it retain cold, even if it's not a complete seal.
	1:45pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @1:42 before looking at the playlist, and seeing your comment, i was going to reference "9 Standards (Quartet)" 1993.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Back in the day, every grocery bag I recall had red print on brown paper.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Lizzie!
	🛒 1:45pm DjLorraine: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 I'm proud to carry the bag & i like the neutral color. It's my favorite shopping bag ever. I just wish there were more music community folks locally.
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: - and the plastic bottom is VERY helpful to keep things upright.
	1:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:45 we had green, blue, or red on brown.
	1:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:43 Today only 97, yesterday, 98, M&T, 99. ( and we got rain yesterday and Tuesday)
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: i remember when the A&P logo was blue ink for minute, sort of blue green; then back to red.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: I sought a bag I was familiar with from other promotional uses. I didn't risk a bag I couldn't vouch for.
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DjLorraine @1:45 lots of music people here, and folks who know wfmu; but i don't think people notice the bag so much
	1:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Marie de Queens @1:43 Hi there Marie.
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: This is NOT te single version od "Golden Glass". Pinning down the provenance was unsuccessful.
	🛒 1:52pm egould: ↳ Song: "Golden Glass" by "The Misunderstood" Jammer.
	1:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:43 True, @Dean, I know many of his "In The Tradition" dates, but the sound of his playing (his tone) makes me think he's not quite got the wind he once had (neither do I). I knew that comment would get some response, though...
	🛒 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what would have happened with the BeachBoys & FratRawkers like the Kingsmen ('LouieLouie') & Motown - & Soul ...if TheBeatles hadn't arrived & just consumed the Charts initially ...& in the process ramped up the whole Industry to another Quantum Level & no less ...it's too great a hypothetical for me @ least to process. As for what kind of Rawk'n'Rolla they were ...as Paul always says they were a great little hardworking ClubBand - who by their early 20s had assimilated ChuckBerry, LittleRichard, BuddyHolly, the Everlys & who can even say how much more. & presented a new Thing that echoed all this back - in unbelievable & (to the USA) unimaginably intelligent Style. If they stunted the commercial Progress of Soul (which seemed to do fine anyhow really) - &/or GarageRawk (which they may have...) - then they opened the door for the Stones & Who & an untold plethora anyhow... I guess I should read this book ! :D ...
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:52 You'd get a lot out of it, Rev.
	1:57pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @1:52 You can hear that change in tone in Lee Konitz's later recordings as well. Singers, as they age, often develop a wobbly, wider vibrato. It's a natural phenomenon. (Benny Carter is one who played into his 90's, but you couldn't hear his playing change in a bad way. But he did have to give up the trumpet, which he played very well in his younger years).
	1:59pm Orthofrancis: GIGANTOR!!
	🛒 1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In RawkBands - seems it's often the poor Drummers who are notably diminished in advancing age ...so Physical a thing it is...
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:52 i'd say the beatles did very much the opposite for r&b. brought it to the mainstream.
	1:59pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Song: "Gigantor" by "The Dickies" YES!!!!!
	🛒 1:59pm egould: ↳ Song: "Gigantor" by "The Dickies" I saw the Dickies open for the Ramones in 1988 at the Vogue in Indianapolis. Fun ass time.
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: Dickies!
	2:00pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🛒 2:01pm egould: ↳ pot8o @2:00 ‘Sup spud?
	2:01pm βrian: Who needs a turtleneck when you've got a dickie?
	🛒 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:59 Well - one thing TheBeatles did - & SmokeyRobinson for one says he'll always love then for - is state in no uncertain terms & without hesitation that they adored Black Music... What happened in the actual Market may have been another matter to some degree...
	2:02pm pot8o: ↳ egould @2:01 nothing much, how about you?
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: hi pot80!
	2:04pm Gerry from Miami: My favorite Dickies cut has to be "Stuck in a Pagoda With Tritia Toyota."
	2:04pm Andres: ¡CUMBIA!
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: pot8o! Brian!
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: RR i'm just 1 person who heard the beatles' versions first of almost every r&b song they covered
	2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ βrian @2:01 Im sure I HAD a Dickie back in the day, for a minute...
	2:05pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Straight Street" by "Anthony Braxton" Until very recently I believed Anthony Braxton was the father of Toni Braxton. I always wondered if he ever showed up on her reality shows.
	2:06pm northguineahills: cumbia! and i heard dj jazz in there beforehand!
	2:07pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:01 Rev an all: Interesting ponderings. I think the Beatles weren't ultimately a dance band like a lot of earlier rock was. They brought a ballad-like approach that morphed into folkrock, later the psych rock. The part about knocking Black artists off the charts is more complex. Certainly racism played a part in the music biz. It did everywhere else. I'd like to read that book. Interesting too that the Fab4 spoke out against segregation and Lennon especially was a left-progressive antiracist activist.
	🛒 2:07pm DjLorraine: Doctorjazz!
	2:08pm Andres: Looking forward to an icy cocktail before this afternoon is over. Cumbia is pushing it up in the schedule.
	🛒 2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:05 - right. & then ...the Stones. & then from the UK - the yARdbiRdS who in fact taught us to Play Blues Gittar. To us ...litte white U.S. American boys. Which is both obvious & well known ...& really weird & ironic if viewed broadly & objectively enuff...
	2:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ The Oscar @2:05 I believe it was Fred (could be wrong) who hae a story about how he had a discussion/argument about Braxton with a coworker, and they figured out after some heated discussion that they were each referencing the other Braxton.
	2:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ DjLorraine @2:07 Hi DJLorraine!
	🛒 2:09pm egould: ↳ pot8o @2:02 I’m making chicken broth. Think I’ll go pour me a little drinkee-poo.
	2:10pm Andres: ↳ Song: "The Dum Dum Ditty" by "The Shangri-Las" Pure gold!!
	2:10pm doctorjazz: ↳ egould @2:09 Of chicken broth???
	🛒 2:10pm DjLorraine: ↳ doctorjazz @2:09 What's cooking? 😁
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @2:09 chicken stock and bourbon?
	2:11pm doctorjazz: Marinating some chicken thighs for grilling tonight (with broccoli, and grilled "baked" potatoes (major hit here at Chez Doctorjazz).
	2:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Leave My Kitten Alone" by "Little Willie John" I'm having the next-level experience of singing meow-meow along with song lyrics that actually are meow-meow.
	🛒 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @2:07 Of course. All that stuff that Howard Goodall lays out in specific Technical terms in his video about TheBeatles ...as a Classical guy - he no less than creds them with saving the whole Western Harmonic System practically !! - whereas, as a Punkass Rawker kid I saw it from the opposite lens: TheBeatles started in suits & then brought the Avant-garde to the Masses...
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Leave My Kitten Alone" by "Little Willie John" (speaking of r&b songs i heard the beatles' first)
	🛒 2:12pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:10 I’m making broth from a chicken carcass and my vegetable trimmings from the last month. The drink was just Smirnoff and coconut water over ice.
	2:13pm pot8o: ↳ doctorjazz @2:11 lot fancier than what i was planning on making, which is boxed mac & cheese mixed in with everything in the pantry that's close to the best by date
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:12 Yeah. I like Mr. Lennon's Vocals. Yerknow. Just a little. The fact that TheBeatles' cover versions are so distinctive says something I posit...
	2:15pm doctorjazz: Reading a good bio on Charlie Parker (speaking of music books), Kansas City Lightning, The Rise and Times of Charlie Parier, by Stanley Crouch.
	🛒 2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ pot8o @2:13 Some fave Mac&Chee additives : garlic, thyme, mushrooms, broccoli (that's Healthy ...right ??...)
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Morning Dew" by "The Nova Local" So many cool versions of this song out there.
	2:17pm adamdoesit: Tonite I'm going to one of those fancy new movie houses where they feed you and bring you drinx (a cineraunt? a moviestro?), and am rather looking forward to a fried chicken sandwich, tater tots, and a cider or two.
	🛒 2:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:15 Stanley Grouch ! :D Yeah that's gotta be good...
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:13 'thing is, they might've knocked r&b songs off the charts...along with everything else on the charts, which was mostly not r&b. in the long run they helped the r&b industry immensely.
	🛒 2:19pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:13 John invented rock n roll vocals. He’s pretty good.
	2:19pm TDK60: These Nova Locals sound like they lived down the road from Quicksilver Messenger Service and It's a Beautiful Day. Maybe even Blue Cheer. Maybe.
	2:20pm Gerry from Miami: Just who was Bonnie Dobson?
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @2:20 folkie
	2:21pm dan: ↳ Song: "Goin' Home" by "The Rolling Stones" Revolutionary to have a 10 minute song like this one for its time.
	2:22pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Goin' Home" by "The Rolling Stones" Great to hear Goin' Home; don't hear it much. It seemed to be one the first of those long/epic cuts of those Sixties. Rev, you're a step ahead...
	2:22pm pot8o: this set really mixes well with bryce's set
	🛒 2:23pm DjLorraine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:15 Sounds great!
	🛒 2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Aftermath' ...significant. TheStones caught up with the idea of an Album as a thing by then I think ...which I put it to you TheBeatles began to wake up to almost from the start !
	2:25pm Gerry from Miami: Yes, UM, but why did this one song become such an enduring classic?
	2:25pm TDK60: An early rock example might be Bo Diddley & Chuck Berry's 1964 duo album "Two Great Guitars" -- with 2 long songs: "Bo's Beat" and "Chuck's Beat."
	🛒 2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& a longer track means fewer Songs to come up with :D ...welcome to Psychedelia...
	🛒 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:25 ...besides we're all tripping balls ...play all night why don'cha...
	🛒 2:27pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:25 Prog rock bands had longer tracks, but they just strung three or four songs together and called it a “suite”.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: maybe the 'stones had listened to the grateful dead, who by 1966 were already playing >20 r&b songs, Thanks to Pig Pen.
	🛒 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ egould @2:27 Pete Townshend with 'A Quick One' (ironic title) the pioneer there ...influenced by Girl Group cinematic vignettes in fact. As well as Musical Theater & all that.
	2:29pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:23 Revrab: True story" at a rock club show some 10approx yrs ago, I ran into two young /serious/ Stones heads, 20ish men, dressed just like 'em. I said "You guys look like you just stepped out of Aftermath."
	2:29pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:25 AND it also gives the DJ a bit of a break...
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:28 (over 20-minute that's supposed to say)
	2:30pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @2:25 ...and, by the way, that Bo & Chuck LP is a fine partee album.
	🛒 2:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:28 The Dead having gestated in the Acid Tests. Unlike some Club like everybody else ever. They stuck with this coy approach to both the Muse ...& professional 'Success' a remarkably long time...
	2:31pm adamdoesit: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:27 I found myself wondering why we say "tripping balls." Urbandictionary says it's short for "tripping one's balls off," which makes sense, yet still I visualize whirled peas.
	2:31pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @2:30 Hi TDK60!
	2:32pm TDK60: Andrew, howdy.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "King Of Clowns" by "Neil Sedaka" Am I the only one doing the tango?
	🛒 2:37pm egould: ↳ Song: "King Of Clowns" by "Neil Sedaka" This guy knew how to write a hit song.
	2:38pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ egould @2:37 He sure did.
	2:39pm dan: ↳ Song: "King Of Clowns" by "Neil Sedaka" No one can duplicate that voice of his. I knew it was Neil before checking the playlist, and I've never heard the song before.

	2:41pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Banho De Lua" by "Mutantes" Os Mutantes didn't destroy rock and roll?
	2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "My Baby Likes To Be-Bop (And I Like To Be-Bop Too... That would be when bebop just hit big!
	2:42pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Banho De Lua" by "Mutantes" It's conceivable there may have been cooler bands than Os Mutantes, but there certainly haven't been many.
	2:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ The Oscar @2:42 It's not a hill I want to die on, but they'd be my pick.
	🛒 2:44pm egould: ↳ Song: "Banho De Lua" by "Mutantes" Os Mutantes playing the Tractor Tavern in Seattle on the 25th.
	🛒 2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If TheBeatles destroyed RnR - they achieved what the piSToLs only rhetorically aspired to. Os Mutantes - an appropriate name. Showing how far-ranging & globally influential the energy & innovations of TheBeatles were - yet in an other rich & beautiful Culture producing another original & fully realized iteration of it.
	2:45pm TDK60: Catherine R + 2Bis: myy fave prog anarc Gauls!

	2:50pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @2:49 I think the band smokes on this version.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:50 Cool horns, it is a cool arrangement!

	2:51pm Fridayzed: Dear listener hive-mind, any suggestions for a more modern (non-retro) equivalent to the andrews sisters?
	2:52pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @2:51 Back then, there were musicians that went back and forth between jazz groups and Klezmer bands.
	🛒 2:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:52 ...Gershwin maybe ??...
	2:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Fridayzed @2:51 I'm partial to Petra Haden's multitracked accapella recordings (she did at least 2)
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: noting at the time people started saying "tripping balls" to try to advance from saying "tripping my balls off" - i always think the latter when someone says the former; and always think how idiotic it is. ...like saying "i could care less".
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Fridayzed @2:51 Haden Triplets
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: pointer sisters? (kind of)
	2:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:54 Another Haden vocal delight!

	2:55pm adamdoesit: ↳ Fridayzed @2:51 Idk if they're modern now, but Dan Hicks' Hot Licks evoke the Andrews Sisters pretty directly. Maybe, in a way, Au Revoir Simone?
