	12:47pm doctorjazz: Speaking of guilty pleasures, went to see acoustic All Time Low this week with MollyJazz-fun show (think I brought the average age of the crowd up 20 years...)
	12:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Road Ladies (Alternate Take)" by "Frank Zappa" Hey, I heard Frank had a lot experience with road ladies
	12:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" One of the most identifiable drum solo/openings ever! (and cowbell heaven!)
	12:49pm dan: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" On Insomniac with Dave Attell, Sweet Sweet Connie met up with Dave. I forgot which city it was.
	12:49pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" I'm guessing that I've heard this song about 837 times (I grew up just outside of Chicago) @)
	12:50pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" For the longest time I assumed "the hotel detective, he was outta sight" meant he was cool, so don't sweat it, man.
	12:51pm PAULS: ↳ Roberto @12:50 I continue to assume that to this very post.
	12:51pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" I'd love to hear a really slowed down, abstracted electronic arty version of this
	12:51pm dan: ↳ Song: "Life On The Road" by "The Kinks" Two of my predictions in a row.
	12:54pm PAULS: ↳ dan @12:51 You are... Nostro-DANUS
	12:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "Road Ladies (Alternate Take)" by "Frank Zappa" Hello all! If not mistaken, my Request show suggestion years ago?
	12:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:48 GTOs!
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Kevin(fBR)!
	12:57pm dan: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" Part of the melody sounds like it was lifted from "Deuce" by KISS
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Don't accuse Motorhead of perpetrating melody!
	12:58pm Marie in Chicago: I'm gonna guess/predict that there will be a Willy Nelson song and a Johnny Cash song played right here on these airwaves
	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" This is a a bit of synchronicity - last week I started telling a story about my first trip across America fifty years ago in August of 1974. the car we were driving was only fit for a ride to the junkyard, but did that stop us? Hell no! I've been sitting on this one. Part one was on Marty McSorley last Saturday. Tomorrow night things take a turn for the worst...in a funny kind of a way I'd like to think.
	1:01pm (Mr) Bill: Had to step out for a while to take care of some places I'd never been. Now I've been everywhere, man.
	1:02pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:00 Hey Franco! I loved that story of when you picked up a hitchhiker and he stuffed a microphone cover up his nose....
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks! Of course this story have a couple of hitchhiker stories too.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Franco!
	1:05pm DjLorraine: *cow bell emoji is needed
	1:05pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Michael!
	1:05pm Kat in the chat: Enjoying the theme!
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: Kat!
	1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Salina" by "The Avett Brothers" This started as a country tune, no? Unusual left turn...
	1:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Road Song" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Faves of mine (as if you didn't already know)! So glad I got to see them on their last tour!
	1:10pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "A Road Song" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Wonder if the old Fountains of Wayne Hotline is still up and running for singer/songwriters in a bind... youtu.be...
	1:12pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): I have never seen a she-gator protect her young, but I sure would like to
	1:12pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:04 I have one hitchhiking story that was not a good experience--I'll try to type it in later in the show. Can't right now cuz I'm on a rushed (apu) job
	1:13pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:12 I'm sitting right here, so take your time.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Jake!
	1:15pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): Wow that was a fantastic transition
	1:15pm egould: ↳ Song: "All I Can Do Is Write About It" by "Lynyrd Skynyrd" Started out 'Let It Be', ended up 'Already Gone'.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: My last hitchhiking experience was my last hitchhiking experience for a reason. It was 1975...and I was the person picking up the hitchhiker.
	1:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:15 This is a sub-category of the road story that need a show of its own!
	1:18pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "Salina" by "The Avett Brothers" Salina was the town where I turned left during my great post post college hitchhiking adventure from Dallas to Denver , SF and finally LA. It went remarkably well! And I'm still here to talk about.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I guess it was 1979, not 1975.
	1:26pm Gerry from Miami: Sounds like John Entwistle " having a lovely time!"
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	1:29pm Gerry from Miami: Greetings and salutations to you, UNCLE MICHAEL, and to all your loyal listeners!
	1:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:18 Okay, here's one: In the summer of 1977, a friend and I were sleeping on a beach above Santa Cruz. When we got back to the highway in the morning, my car - a 1960 ice blue VW bug was gone. We hitchhiked to San Francisco, borrowed five dollars, then hitchhiked back to L.A. the next day. A month later I got a call from the California highway patrol. They found just the body of my VW in the Santa Cruz mountains and asked if I wanted to come and get it. I told the officer no thanks and hung up the phone. I already had another VW - a 1968 Square Back.
	1:30pm northguineahills: dayum, i missed skynyrd....
	1:31pm egould: 'Flying Microtonal Banana' would be Volume 1.
	1:31pm Kat in the chat: Thank you for sparing us “What’s Your Name,” I likely would have tuned out at that point
	1:31pm Marie in Chicago: it is sinking in...
	1:32pm Gerry from Miami: Why are there no posts on my screen between 1:18 and 1:26? Nap time for the HINKY DINKERS?
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: ngh!
	1:33pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): I just wanted to say that I found WFMU just recently when I was at a record store and asked what they were playing. I am so glad I discovered this station. I feel like it has restored my faith in radio and I feel like all the various shows and variety of sound match up with my personal taste and the kind of music I find truly worthwhile. It's so easy to lose faith in music in today's environment. But listening to this station has given me so much new music to listen to and so many old favorites to revisit.
	1:33pm dan: ↳ Kat in the chat @1:31 What's wrong with that song. I think it kicks ass
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:33 Urban Bovine Kneivel
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:33 Jake, this is sincerely very gratifying to read! Thank you.
	1:36pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:30 you mean they had stolen the engine?
	1:36pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:33 that’s so cool! I, too, am grateful for this refuge of freeform
	1:37pm Marie in Chicago: Is this the kinks? I like whatever/whoever it is
	1:40pm mndave: ↳ Song: "In the Van Again" by "Shelter" Wow, have not heard Shelter in such a long time but they were one of teenage mndave's hardcore heroes
	1:40pm egould: ↳ Song: "In the Van Again" by "Shelter" Krishna-core!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: mndave!
	1:42pm egould: ↳ Song: "Tour-Spiel" by "Minutemen" Oh yeah. Good one, UM!
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:33 My only complaint about WFMU (which I've stated before) is I hear so much great stuff I go out and buy. But then I spend so much time listening to WFMU (to hear more great stuff), I don't have time to listen to stuf in the on deck pile!
	1:43pm mndave: ↳ doctorjazz @1:42 [glances at stack of four dozen sealed records, nods in agreement]
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:42 we jam econo
	1:44pm Mxter Baba: ↳ doctorjazz @1:42 I resemble this statement
	1:44pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great UM!
	1:44pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:37 I needed to refresh my screen--MaJoRlY
	1:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:36 Yes, and then some. There was a gang of car thieves in the Santa Cruz mountains that focused on VW's. They would take off the body and make dune buggies a la Charlie Manson.
	1:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "History Lesson—Part II" by "Minutemen" One of my fave albums of all time.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Thanks.
	1:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "History Lesson—Part II" by "Minutemen" nice key-friendly segueing there, UM!
	1:46pm egould: Drove up from Pedro, we were fucking corndogs.
	1:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:45 Sounds so Cali in the 70s
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	1:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Tour Song" by "Jawbreaker" (head going up and down here)
	1:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:46 Totally. All along the West Coast, it was good and evil - bright white light and pitch black evil.
	1:49pm mndave: ↳ Song: "Tour Song" by "Jawbreaker" Saw them on their 2022 tour and they were flawless... thirty years after this LP
	1:49pm northguineahills: ↳ mndave @1:49 wow, it was 96 the last time i saw them....
	1:52pm rw: Just got home. Front door locked. Oh boy.
	1:52pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): Ah Gov't Mule! Back when I was working in live sound in Utah I got a chance to help set up the stage for them and meet a few members. They were really nice people and great musicians.
	1:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:49 hm, interesting. If it were a weave, from a distance it would be gray ... @)
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: ↳ rw @1:52 Tambourines and elephants? How was Illinois?
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:52 Among my very favorite players and people.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Traveling Tune" by "Gov't Mule" Warren doing a little 'Ramblin Man' here....
	1:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:52 Or sky blue and dark purple!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Traveling Tune" by "Gov't Mule" Guitar solo has strong Dickie Betts feel (to my ear)
	1:55pm dan: ↳ Song: "Traveling Tune" by "Gov't Mule" Probably the most Grateful Dead sounding non Grateful Dead song ever.
	1:57pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:54 hee hee hee, yeah! (sounds pretty and more accurate)
	1:58pm rw: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:52 LA, not IL. Unfortunately no elephants nor tambourines. But I DO have some road songs to keep me company.
	1:59pm rw: I had that T shirt!! But I gave it to my kid. It looks much better on him.
	2:02pm StringOFperils: Wearing the correct T-shirt for Iron Maiden. Or Nektar,...or...
	2:03pm Jeff Moore: Off the road again I just can't wait to get off the road again The life I love is staying home here with my friends And I can't wait to get off the road again
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	2:05pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): ↳ Jeff Moore @2:03 off the road again like a couch potato sipping down a La Croix we're the best of buds insisting that we watch an old school movie it's groovy
	2:07pm egould: Asexuals 'Borderline' The Courtneys 'Tour'
	2:09pm rw: Speaking of biking, I just can't wait to get on the bike again. Need to get some computer work done first. :( UM, I hope you're back out there soon too! I did a nice overnighter with my son last weekend. He picked the hardest route possible out to the campsite, of course.
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: ↳ rw @2:09 nice!
	2:11pm StringOFperils: Wouldn't have thought Jacksonville, FLA re this band's sound...but what the hell do I know
	2:11pm StringOFperils: Very Outlaws-y
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @2:11 Home of Skynyrd as well!
	2:12pm StringOFperils: There ya go...the south remains a mystery. Along with the other three cardinal points.
	2:16pm rw: ↳ Song: "Highway Song" by "Blackfoot" Hadn't heard that Blackfoot song in decades, but every note of that guitar solo; like I heard it just yesterday. Okay, I'm going back to work... Thanks for keeping it rolling and happy Friday everyone.
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: see ya, rw!
	2:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:11 oh don't I know!
	2:22pm StringOFperils: 'The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation piling up around the merch table.' ___Henry David Ozzy Thoreau

	2:27pm dan: ↳ Song: "Truckin' (single version)" by "Grateful Dead" One of the episodes of King of the Hill was entitled "Living on Reds, Vitamin C and Propane"
	2:28pm StringOFperils: Wow, I don't think I've ever heard this as a single. It's great! How could it not be?!
	2:28pm egould: I've got to hit the road, Uncle Michael. Thanks for a lovely morning of road tunes. Listen to ya' next week. Have a groovy weekend, everybody.
	2:30pm judy from croton: Enjoying the show from up (over) here in coastal Maine. Downeast
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: see ya, egould! judy!
	2:34pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Truckin' (single version)" by "Grateful Dead" Funny, as a naive fifteen year old who had never been out of California - when my mom gave me American Beauty for Christmas in 1970, I thought to myself 'I can do this!' when I heard Truckin' Well, a in a few years I did!
	2:35pm StringOFperils: Loudon Wainwright III album # 2. Classic weirdness.
	2:35pm Polyus: ↳ Song: "Motel Blues (Demo)" by "Big Star" I always thought this was a Loudon Wainwright song.
	2:35pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "Motel Blues (Demo)" by "Big Star" Loudon original
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Polyus @2:35 Because it is.
	2:37pm still b/p: Just spoke to a visitor next door here in Maine who came from Austin and is heading downeast to Acadia, then Lubec, then to friend's camp inland before motoring through NH and VT in her old VW camping van. And I knew envy.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ still b/p @2:37 That visitor is sick of hanging around.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Bonnie is her daddy's kid. She was born in a trunk, as they say in the biz.

	🛒 2:43pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:42 ❤
	2:44pm leshwatt: Peace, love and WFMU!!
	2:44pm leshwatt: What did I miss?
	2:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Longer Than You've Been Alive" by "Old 97's" Saw these guys @ The Horseshoe Tavern, so long ago that the song title is absolutely true.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Phil!
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Dug the show UM, thanks! Safe travels all!
	2:45pm dan: Wrong song title
	2:45pm Kat in the chat: Banger!
	2:46pm leshwatt: Damn, I’ll have to listen on the archive again!
	2:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All The Way From Memphis" by "Mott the Hoople" 😁😁😁😁😁😁
	2:46pm Jeff Golick: Hoople!
	2:46pm dan: ↳ Song: "All The Way From Memphis" by "Mott the Hoople" Heard Ian Hunter perform this live for free at Rockefeller Park in Lower Manhattan.

	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Brooklyn Jewish boys -> Queens Jewish boys.
	2:54pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" by "Beastie Boys" Kerry King of Slayer on the guitar, in case anyone was wondering
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ PAULS @2:54 I actually was! Thanks!
	2:55pm StringOFperils: ↳ PAULS @2:54 I was, actually.
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:54 Carry on, Franco!
	2:55pm Phillippe: Thanks UM!
	2:55pm StringOFperils: Hah!
	2:56pm dan: ↳ Song: "Homeward Bound" by "Simon & Garfunkel" Hal Blaine on drums. Simple but amazing
	2:56pm dan: Great show UM
	2:57pm PAULS: Thanks UM, feeling a little road weary! grrrrreat show
	2:57pm Gerry from Miami: UM, thanks for playing those two tunes from the Minutemen. I lived in SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA for many years and saw those kids develop and grow as a band. They were really something in the growing southern Cal punk/new wave scene of the time. All those super-short songs! It was really a total bummer when I heard of D Boon's fatal auto accident. But hismemory lives on. Again, thanks!
	2:57pm KWilde: Another excellent Hinky Dinky Theme Show - thanks UM!
	2:58pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, UM! You've gotten us properly launched into the Week-End. (I've seen multiple examples of dialogue set in English Country Houses in an earlier era, where the older and more traditional family members would chide youngsters for using the word "weekend" because it was a tasteless American neologism, and represented the decline of society.)
	2:58pm StringOFperils: Thank you, UM! From a shigetz from Ontario!
	2:59pm Alvy Singer: Another freeform beauty UM! Thank you.
	2:59pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, UM! Hope you get to hit the road soon!
	3:00pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" by "Beastie Boys" Apropos of the Beasties, I know the guy who shot the cover photo for Paul's Boutique (which album this of course isn't). He's a WFMU fan, particularly if Duane is on.
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!

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.

	12:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Road Ladies (Alternate Take)" by "Frank Zappa" Hey, I heard Frank had a lot experience with road ladies
	12:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" One of the most identifiable drum solo/openings ever! (and cowbell heaven!)
	12:49pm dan: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" On Insomniac with Dave Attell, Sweet Sweet Connie met up with Dave. I forgot which city it was.
	12:49pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" I'm guessing that I've heard this song about 837 times (I grew up just outside of Chicago) @)
	12:50pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" For the longest time I assumed "the hotel detective, he was outta sight" meant he was cool, so don't sweat it, man.
	12:51pm PAULS: ↳ Roberto @12:50 I continue to assume that to this very post.
	12:51pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "We're An American Band" by "Grand Funk Railroad" I'd love to hear a really slowed down, abstracted electronic arty version of this
	12:51pm dan: ↳ Song: "Life On The Road" by "The Kinks" Two of my predictions in a row.
	12:54pm PAULS: ↳ dan @12:51 You are... Nostro-DANUS
	12:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "Road Ladies (Alternate Take)" by "Frank Zappa" Hello all! If not mistaken, my Request show suggestion years ago?
	12:56pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Marie in Chicago @12:48 GTOs!
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Kevin(fBR)!
	12:57pm dan: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" Part of the melody sounds like it was lifted from "Deuce" by KISS
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: Don't accuse Motorhead of perpetrating melody!
	12:58pm Marie in Chicago: I'm gonna guess/predict that there will be a Willy Nelson song and a Johnny Cash song played right here on these airwaves
	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "(We Are) The Road Crew" by "Motörhead" This is a a bit of synchronicity - last week I started telling a story about my first trip across America fifty years ago in August of 1974. the car we were driving was only fit for a ride to the junkyard, but did that stop us? Hell no! I've been sitting on this one. Part one was on Marty McSorley last Saturday. Tomorrow night things take a turn for the worst...in a funny kind of a way I'd like to think.
	1:01pm (Mr) Bill: Had to step out for a while to take care of some places I'd never been. Now I've been everywhere, man.
	1:02pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:00 Hey Franco! I loved that story of when you picked up a hitchhiker and he stuffed a microphone cover up his nose....
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks! Of course this story have a couple of hitchhiker stories too.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Franco!
	1:05pm DjLorraine: *cow bell emoji is needed
	1:05pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Michael!
	1:05pm Kat in the chat: Enjoying the theme!
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: Kat!
	1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Salina" by "The Avett Brothers" This started as a country tune, no? Unusual left turn...
	1:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Road Song" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Faves of mine (as if you didn't already know)! So glad I got to see them on their last tour!
	1:10pm PAULS: ↳ Song: "A Road Song" by "Fountains Of Wayne" Wonder if the old Fountains of Wayne Hotline is still up and running for singer/songwriters in a bind... youtu.be...
	1:12pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): I have never seen a she-gator protect her young, but I sure would like to
	1:12pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:04 I have one hitchhiking story that was not a good experience--I'll try to type it in later in the show. Can't right now cuz I'm on a rushed (apu) job
	1:13pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:12 I'm sitting right here, so take your time.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Jake!
	1:15pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): Wow that was a fantastic transition
	1:15pm egould: ↳ Song: "All I Can Do Is Write About It" by "Lynyrd Skynyrd" Started out 'Let It Be', ended up 'Already Gone'.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: My last hitchhiking experience was my last hitchhiking experience for a reason. It was 1975...and I was the person picking up the hitchhiker.
	1:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:15 This is a sub-category of the road story that need a show of its own!
	1:18pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Song: "Salina" by "The Avett Brothers" Salina was the town where I turned left during my great post post college hitchhiking adventure from Dallas to Denver , SF and finally LA. It went remarkably well! And I'm still here to talk about.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I guess it was 1979, not 1975.
	1:26pm Gerry from Miami: Sounds like John Entwistle " having a lovely time!"
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	1:29pm Gerry from Miami: Greetings and salutations to you, UNCLE MICHAEL, and to all your loyal listeners!
	1:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:18 Okay, here's one: In the summer of 1977, a friend and I were sleeping on a beach above Santa Cruz. When we got back to the highway in the morning, my car - a 1960 ice blue VW bug was gone. We hitchhiked to San Francisco, borrowed five dollars, then hitchhiked back to L.A. the next day. A month later I got a call from the California highway patrol. They found just the body of my VW in the Santa Cruz mountains and asked if I wanted to come and get it. I told the officer no thanks and hung up the phone. I already had another VW - a 1968 Square Back.
	1:30pm northguineahills: dayum, i missed skynyrd....
	1:31pm egould: 'Flying Microtonal Banana' would be Volume 1.
	1:31pm Kat in the chat: Thank you for sparing us “What’s Your Name,” I likely would have tuned out at that point
	1:31pm Marie in Chicago: it is sinking in...
	1:32pm Gerry from Miami: Why are there no posts on my screen between 1:18 and 1:26? Nap time for the HINKY DINKERS?
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: ngh!
	1:33pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): I just wanted to say that I found WFMU just recently when I was at a record store and asked what they were playing. I am so glad I discovered this station. I feel like it has restored my faith in radio and I feel like all the various shows and variety of sound match up with my personal taste and the kind of music I find truly worthwhile. It's so easy to lose faith in music in today's environment. But listening to this station has given me so much new music to listen to and so many old favorites to revisit.
	1:33pm dan: ↳ Kat in the chat @1:31 What's wrong with that song. I think it kicks ass
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:33 Urban Bovine Kneivel
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:33 Jake, this is sincerely very gratifying to read! Thank you.
	1:36pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:30 you mean they had stolen the engine?
	1:36pm Mxter Baba: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:33 that’s so cool! I, too, am grateful for this refuge of freeform
	1:37pm Marie in Chicago: Is this the kinks? I like whatever/whoever it is
	1:40pm mndave: ↳ Song: "In the Van Again" by "Shelter" Wow, have not heard Shelter in such a long time but they were one of teenage mndave's hardcore heroes
	1:40pm egould: ↳ Song: "In the Van Again" by "Shelter" Krishna-core!
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: mndave!
	1:42pm egould: ↳ Song: "Tour-Spiel" by "Minutemen" Oh yeah. Good one, UM!
	1:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:33 My only complaint about WFMU (which I've stated before) is I hear so much great stuff I go out and buy. But then I spend so much time listening to WFMU (to hear more great stuff), I don't have time to listen to stuf in the on deck pile!
	1:43pm mndave: ↳ doctorjazz @1:42 [glances at stack of four dozen sealed records, nods in agreement]
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:42 we jam econo
	1:44pm Mxter Baba: ↳ doctorjazz @1:42 I resemble this statement
	1:44pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great UM!
	1:44pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:37 I needed to refresh my screen--MaJoRlY
	1:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:36 Yes, and then some. There was a gang of car thieves in the Santa Cruz mountains that focused on VW's. They would take off the body and make dune buggies a la Charlie Manson.
	1:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "History Lesson—Part II" by "Minutemen" One of my fave albums of all time.
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Alvy! Thanks.
	1:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "History Lesson—Part II" by "Minutemen" nice key-friendly segueing there, UM!
	1:46pm egould: Drove up from Pedro, we were fucking corndogs.
	1:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:45 Sounds so Cali in the 70s
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Uncle M
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: coel!
	1:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Tour Song" by "Jawbreaker" (head going up and down here)
	1:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:46 Totally. All along the West Coast, it was good and evil - bright white light and pitch black evil.
	1:49pm mndave: ↳ Song: "Tour Song" by "Jawbreaker" Saw them on their 2022 tour and they were flawless... thirty years after this LP
	1:49pm northguineahills: ↳ mndave @1:49 wow, it was 96 the last time i saw them....
	1:52pm rw: Just got home. Front door locked. Oh boy.
	1:52pm Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake): Ah Gov't Mule! Back when I was working in live sound in Utah I got a chance to help set up the stage for them and meet a few members. They were really nice people and great musicians.
	1:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:49 hm, interesting. If it were a weave, from a distance it would be gray ... @)
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: ↳ rw @1:52 Tambourines and elephants? How was Illinois?
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Zunar J-5/9 Doric 4-7 (Jake) @1:52 Among my very favorite players and people.
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Traveling Tune" by "Gov't Mule" Warren doing a little 'Ramblin Man' here....
	1:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:52 Or sky blue and dark purple!
	1:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Traveling Tune" by "Gov't Mule" Guitar solo has strong Dickie Betts feel (to my ear)
	1:55pm dan: ↳ Song: "Traveling Tune" by "Gov't Mule" Probably the most Grateful Dead sounding non Grateful Dead song ever.
	1:57pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:54 hee hee hee, yeah! (sounds pretty and more accurate)

	2:57pm Gerry from Miami: UM, thanks for playing those two tunes from the Minutemen. I lived in SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA for many years and saw those kids develop and grow as a band.

But hismemory lives on. Again, thanks!
	2:57pm KWilde: Another excellent Hinky Dinky Theme Show - thanks UM!
	2:58pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, UM! You've gotten us properly launched into the Week-End. (I've seen multiple examples of dialogue set in English Country Houses in an earlier era, where the older and more traditional family members would chide youngsters for using the word "weekend" because it was a tasteless American neologism, and represented the decline of society.)
	2:58pm StringOFperils: Thank you, UM! From a shigetz from Ontario!

	2:59pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, UM! Hope you get to hit the road soon!

	3:00pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone!
