	12:17pm dan: The big celebrity loss of the last week was James Earl Jones, but the underrated celebrity loss of the last few days has got to be Herbie Flowers, the bassist everyone knows about except his name. Probably the king of the bass driven songs.
	12:18pm Gerry from Miami: OOPS! Almost walked under a ladder! And I see some cracks in the sidewalk up ahead. And is that a black cat approaching my path? I ain't SUPERstitious, but I might be somewhat "stitious." Howdy to you, Unca Mike! Glad to be on board today
	12:20pm Uncle Michael: Gerry!
	12:21pm coelacanth∅: 'morning Uncle M, dinklers
	12:22pm TDK60: Good to hear this acoustic blues.
	12:23pm Listener Robert: ↳ Alvy Singer @12:06 Last week meta, this week concept of plan, next week it'll be totally abstract.
	12:23pm rw: Good morning! I love all of you.
	12:24pm Stanley: ↳ dan @12:17 Absolutely Dan, There's a tribute show later today (4pm Eastern) down the inimitable Flange & Frigate on Sheena

	12:25pm wenzo: Wuddupdoe!
	12:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "If I Had My Way I'd Tear the Building Down" by "B... Great set (and this is AMAZING-wotta voice!!!)
	12:25pm wenzo: Love me some Blind Willie Johnson
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: coel! rw! Stanley! wenzo!
	12:27pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" Ha hoo! DJ UM, you are a rascal.
	12:27pm dan: 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱
	🛒 12:27pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" 🤣
	12:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" Oh, this is so old and overplayed!
	12:28pm wenzo: Did you hear Hank Azaria doing Chief Wiggum taking a call about people eating cats & dogs in Springfield? Pretty funny.
	12:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" haha...sounds like something ronald mcdonald trump would say to justify his racism..."they're eating the dogs and cats, that's what these people do"
	12:29pm dan: @wenzo “Mr. Katz is eating dogs?”
	12:29pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" If only it were funny. Decent, law-abiding folks' lives are being disrupted by that fuckwad.
	12:30pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:29 At the same time, it is funny.
	12:30pm TDK60: ↳ Roberto @12:29 Hi Roberto. The source isn't funny, but the DJ here is.
	12:30pm Roberto: ↳ TDK60 @12:30 Indeedy.
	12:31pm Listener Robert: Ever read NextDoor.com? It's very much like the dogs and cats stuff, all the time.
	12:32pm Jeff Moore: ❤️
	12:33pm wenzo: Check out the Onion coverage
	12:34pm unpopularfred: that's OK
	12:35pm Roberto: From 2016-2020 I had to employ a Chrome plugin that replaced all images of the human jizzbucket with images of kittens. I'm hoping to never need it again.
	12:35pm DjLorraine: I liked it ;D
	12:35pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:35pm (Mr) Bill: Right on re the unlistenable Taylor Swift. How about some Linda Ronstadt?
	12:35pm unpopularfred: I didn't watch the debate as it was agreed Trump's mic would be turned on while he was speaking.
	12:35pm Roberto: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:35 Linda is Queen.
	12:36pm still b/p: I get it; interested in the debate shape and pulling for Harris to simply be clear, capable and confident....but I could NOT get past the first minute, given the attendant stresses, frustrations and oh-so-standard political debate buttons.
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ unpopularfred @12:35 haha!
	12:36pm Dean: I like Linda Ronstadt and Taylor Swift.
	12:36pm dan: @Mr Bill If Taylor Swift was played, I’d mute the show same with Springsteen, Mellencamp and U2
	12:37pm TDK60: I like this alternate version of "Tune." I'd forgot about it.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! fred! KWilde!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:35 Right on? I didn't criticize her music. I praised her humanity.
	12:37pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:35 But I will continue looking at images of kittens regardless.
	12:37pm wenzo: @unpopularfred 😂
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:36 And you'd have to tell us all about it. Right?
	12:38pm egould: Is this the 'Who's Next' album version, or a different mix?
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:38 Yes, and half as long.
	12:39pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @12:36 What makes it worse is that she’s capable of writing and performing reasonable music. “Mean” is a good song.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:38 I mean no, it's not.
	12:39pm coelacanth∅: i haven't watched a presidential debacle, er debate, since i think piece of shit reagan vs. the only good person that became a u.s. president in my lifetime, Jimmy Carter. pretty sure that's the first and last one.
	12:40pm Roberto: ↳ egould @12:38 Def not the album version.
	12:40pm Dean: I've never watched one. Presidential politics makes me feel icky.
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: sounds like a demo
	12:40pm (Mr) Bill: Right. I was (right-on)ing your saying that the humanity is much more important than the music.
	12:40pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:39 Hi Uncle Michael. Yeah now it is definitely sounding like a different version. Couldn't tell at first.
	12:41pm doctorjazz: I had the same feeling, version suounds different than what I recall (not that my recall is infallible...)
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Lifehouse: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: @egould. I think this "Gettin' in Tune" is from the recent deluxe box set reissue of "Who's Next."
	12:42pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "A Song For You" by "Leon Russell" Top 10. All time.
	12:44pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "A Song For You" by "Leon Russell" What a great debut album. Rock and roll.
	12:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Song For You" by "Leon Russell" 👍👍👍
	12:46pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Your Song" by "Elton John" It's a little bit funny how both debut songs seem connected, UM!
	12:47pm dan: Can’t wait to see the new Elton documentary that just premiered at the Toronto Film Festival
	12:47pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace, Leon, and Thanks again.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @12:46 They do. Elton inducted Leon into that excreble HoF.
	12:47pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:41 Pete Townshend seems a bit obsessed with the Lifehouse concept. Interesting.
	12:48pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:47 Another great chapter in Bill Janovitz's Leon Russell book!
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: man, Elton was so good, for a while. i got into him when "honky cat" was on the radio and asked for honky chateau (sp?) for xmas that year. i knew "your song" via 3 dog night
	12:51pm dan: Paul McCartney is playing the Trumpet on this track, apparently trumpet wasn’t one of his proficient instruments
	12:51pm TDK60: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:47 Probably as they were released weeks apart in '70.
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dan @12:51 although his first (i think)
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Bill J. And Tanya Donelly have a song up promoting the upcoming Belly/Buffalo Tom shows: www.youtube.com...
	12:53pm johnk77: ↳ Alvy Singer @12:48 well done selecter strong agree the new leon russell book 1 of the top music books ever
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Only A Northern Song" by "The Beatles" I think this was the first album I listened to repeatedly as a very young child. It still does it to me. I remember fixating and all the strange noises on this song.
	12:53pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:52 Love those two! Was just listening to Buffalo Tom earlier!
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: john! Rich! Bri!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @12:53 I was fortunate to get to see them again recently. They were as good as ever.
	12:55pm (Mr) Bill: “The Song Is Over” has never received the recognition and acclaim it merits, IMO.
	12:55pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:55 Awesome!
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @12:53 hey Bri!
	12:56pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Coel! :)
	12:58pm dan: Personnel on “This Song” George Harrison – vocals, electric guitars, tambourine, backing vocals Tom Scott – saxophones Billy Preston – piano, organ Willie Weeks – bass Alvin Taylor – drums Eric Idle – spoken voice
	12:59pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "This Song" by "George Harrison" Guilty of Subconscious Plagiarism! Right Judge??
	1:00pm dan: No one plays organ like Billy Preston, especially on “This Song”
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes a person really does something without intentionally, consciously doing it. George totally lifted He's So Fine, even if he didn't do it on purpose. Guilty as charged...
	1:03pm spodiodi: Aloha, UM and happy friday!
	1:04pm Power Papi: ↳ Song: "Tribute" by "Tenacious D" Did someone demand the D?
	1:05pm dan: @UM Some of the rhythm sounded like The Four Tops’ “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch”
	1:05pm Dean: I am immersed in Melville these days, having read Moby-Dick for a second time and now venturing into other texts. Just now I read this sentence from one of his miscellaneous pieces: "The country looked underdone, its raw juices squirting all round." Most striking about that sentence, to me, is that if you told me John Ashbery had penned it, I would have believed you.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: spodi! Papi!
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:01 a pretty easy mistake...3 chords in a very fetching melody. been done thousands of times.
	1:07pm Bri The Beatnik: I hadn’t even noticed it sounded similar
	1:08pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:01 Agreed. It’s difficult to understand how no one on the production team heard and was wary of the similarity.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: just glad you didn't play "sometimes i feel so uninspired" by traffic...an uninspired song about itself.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: Saw Leon Russell near the end of his days at a small club in Fort Lauderdale, Fl.. Bad experience. He seemed to be going through the motions and played exclusively on an overly loud electric keyboard. A painful experience. As my sister, brother-in-law and I exited the club, we saw Leon's support crew getting him to his van in a wheel chair. Wishing I had never seen him in this state. He was truly a great artist in his prime. Really want to read the Janovitz biography.
	1:09pm egould: I was walking along the sidewalk in Santa Barbara, CA back in March 2003, and sitting at a cafe table was Eric Idle. His dining partner; Steve Martin.
	1:10pm dan: https://x.com/timothydooner/status/1834286589909913851?s=46&t=o1Ips7k0oOTadLoQbkZ7XA Freebird on Bagpipes
	1:12pm WR: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:09 Yes, I think you will benefit from reading the Janovitz bio. Will place that experience in context.
	1:12pm Alvy Singer: Loving the show UM!
	1:13pm Bri The Beatnik: My parents saw Leon Perform a small concert on the riverfront
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Alvy Singer @1:12 Thank you.
	1:14pm Roberto: Lucas-eye-view cam
	1:14pm spodiodi: tidy and peaceful lawn
	1:15pm spodiodi: think the first i've seen it
	1:16pm johnk77: nick gravenites lead singer/songwriter
	1:16pm spodiodi: ↳ Roberto @1:14 ah, hoping for an appearance on the other side of the cam
	1:16pm coelacanth∅: walking back into the room as this was playing, suddenly noticing a small similarity between this big brother song and Eugene McDaniels
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: (not now... but the vocals, and the chord structure)
	1:18pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Hi UM and you buncha dinks
	1:19pm dan: Is that Papa John Creach on the Big Brother track?
	1:19pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Heartache People" by "Big Brother And The Holding... Hey UM, hey All! So happy to be listening. Just tuned in, sounds great!
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Oleh! Marie!
	1:20pm johnk77: richard greene on violin on the big brother
	1:20pm dan: @coelcanth Was listening to some Gene McDaniels this morning by coincidence. He should’ve been a much bigger name
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @1:19 Richard Greene
	1:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "San Francisco Girls" by "Fever Tree" Regularly played on late 60s NY FM radio!
	1:21pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "San Francisco Girls" by "Fever Tree" One of my absolute faves! Used to request this one on the Owl!
	1:21pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Oh wow I haven’t heard this Fever Tree tune in a loooong time. Great.
	1:23pm johnk77: wish i had seen seatrain live andy kulberg was a gas when i got to work w/him later
	1:25pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "So Softly (Sherylee)" by "Rubba (Jacky Giordano,J... Remniscent of Down by the river: Neil Young, only chiller
	1:25pm Dean: More Melville: "I thought to myself, what a slight mark, after all, does man make on this huge great earth. Yet the earth makes a mark on him." Sorry, can't shake this guy.
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "So Softly (Sherylee)" by "Rubba (Jacky Giordano,J... if this is plagiarism, nothin' is!
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:26 Yeah?
	1:27pm spodiodi: your TopT shirt looks good, UM. my mom complimented me on mine when we last spoke... then i had to show her my radio tower socks i also had on, and she was really amused
	1:27pm johnk77: neil young & crazy horse killed it at forest hills 2024
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:26 ISN'T - if it isn't!
	1:27pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "Down by the River" by "Neil Young & Crazy Horse" Ahh you read my mind!
	1:27pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Down by the River" by "Neil Young & Crazy Horse" Words don't capture how much I love this song
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @1:25 I'm glad I'm not the only one that heard it.
	1:28pm Gerry from Miami: I have often requested(and had played!) this 60s psychedelic classic by Fever Tree on the "robotic" ROCK 'n' SOUL stream here at WFMU by the "host," BUNNY. Always gratified to hear this fine tune.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ spodiodi @1:27 My radio socks are laid out for a post-show bike ride.
	1:28pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ johnk77 @1:27 I was so bummed that they cancelled their show here, literally, as I was about a block away from the venue
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "So Softly (Sherylee)" by "Rubba (Jacky Giordano,J... i was across the room and thought for sure it'd be entitled:"down by the river (instrumental)" ...but, alas...
	1:28pm dan: @johnk77 I regret not going.
	1:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ johnk77 @1:27 I’m so pissed with myself for missing it—just a 15-minute walk from home. What kind of fool am I?
	1:29pm WR: ↳ johnk77 @1:27 Nice but tweaks me to hear. If not for health issues (better now) I would have gone.
	1:29pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:27 :)
	1:29pm spodiodi: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:28 👍 looks like a nice day for it ☀️
	1:30pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:28 Yes! The owl played it once after I requested several times but I think it was merely coincidence
	1:30pm coelacanth∅: i gotta go. Thanks UM! tchau
	1:30pm Bri The Beatnik: Aww bye Coel!
	1:31pm spodiodi: aloha, coelacanthØ!
	1:32pm egould: ↳ Song: "Down by the River" by "Neil Young & Crazy Horse" In a van down by the river...

	1:35pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ sinner @1:33 A grand welcome to ya, sinner!
	1:36pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ johnk77 @1:34 A few years ago, I heard Daltrey and the New York Pops in a concert version of “Tommy.” Good production.
	1:39pm johnk77: graven-nighties in the 1970s
	1:41pm Pedro in Arlington: Besides people eating dogs and cats, tickets for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have almost doubled in price for the same venue from the 2018 tour. I blame Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of the District of Columbia.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ johnk77 @1:39 Thanks, John!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	1:43pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Slinky (Tal M. Klein Remix)" by "Brownout" nice gif. Give it up for "Slinky"!
	1:45pm egould: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @1:41 There's a life-size cardboard cutout of Nick Cave in the front window of Sonic Boom records in Seattle. I jog by it occasionally and it always freaks me out, "Who the hell is standing in the window at this time of the morning?!?" Oh yeah... cardboard nick Cave.
	1:45pm johnk77: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:41 he was a character carried a revolver the first gig i mixed sound for his band not in a dangerous venue;<
	1:47pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ egould @1:45 Let love in.
	1:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @1:41 Nancy Pelosi??
	1:53pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:52 Nancy has looked down on the band since Blixa left.
	1:55pm egould: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @1:53 Say what you want to about her awful personality and crummy policies, the lady has good taste in music.
	1:58pm Dean: And in ice cream! Refrigerators full of ice cream!
	1:58pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @1:58 Dean’s ice cream!
	1:59pm Dean: And to think my parents almost named me Baskin.
	2:00pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @1:59 My mom’s friend Dean also makes ice cream (not to be confused with dean’s ice cream) it was pretty good
	2:01pm egould: ↳ Song: "Hip Strut" by "Jackie McLean" Real nice jazz.
	2:02pm Dean: I've made ice cream a few times. I need to get back into the habit of making pasta.
	2:03pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @2:02 Yum
	2:05pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Cocktails For Two" by "Tommy Dorsey and His Orche... Spike Jones version next week?!
	2:05pm Bri The Beatnik: Wishing I listened to merrily this morning
	2:09pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Cocktails For Two" by "Tommy Dorsey and His Orche... There! That's like the music my roommates were always playing as I grew up!
	2:10pm Dean: Marian McPartland's "Willow" on her Hickory House recording is a good one, too. Okay, one final Melville: "Would you get a load of the size of that whale!" (Fake.)
	2:12pm Phillippe: Sitting on a pier fishing rn. Planning on rinsing and repeating this weekend
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:10 I would prefer not to.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Phillippe @2:12 Oh nice. Sometimes I imagine taking up fishing again.
	2:14pm Dean: "Bartleby" was among the recent tales I've read post-Moby-Dick. Can't recommend too highly "The Encantadas." After you've read it, check out Tobias Picker's recording of the piece he wrote for it. A mind-blower.
	2:15pm egould: I'm going for a nine-mile run tomorrow morning, one mile of which is a 400-foot stair climb through the Queen Anne neighborhood. Then Sunday a nice walk across the Ballard Locks to a couple of breweries and a cheeseburger.
	2:15pm Dean: Er, "tales I have recently read..."
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:14 Thanks for the tips!
	2:23pm dan: The Midnight Special performance that Humble Pie and The Blackberries did of “Oh La De Da” is incredible.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:23 I'll bet!
	2:26pm still b/p: ↳ Dean @2:14 I had a little palm-sized softcover of Bartleby -- handy portability being the purpose of the edition -- and took it on a couple backpack trips as prospective bedtime reading. Started at least twice and never finished. Maybe I can find the li'l rascal around here again. Maybe there's a bear somewhere reading it if it was left behind.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Komm, Komm" by "Nina Hagen" Deutsche-fonk
	2:29pm Dean: My recommendation, as above, would be to give "The Encantadas" a whirl, and maybe "Benito Cereno."
	2:30pm egould: ↳ Song: "Someone To Pull The Trigger (BBC 1 Session)" by "... So freaking beautiful. Love this tune!
	2:30pm Phillippe: Love this Matthew Sweet
	2:31pm Dean: I just figured out a way to make a million bucks. I'm gonna record an album of whatever, my own crappy non-music. But I'm gonna title the album Taylor's Version.
	2:31pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Dean @2:31 sounds good. Can I get in on that?
	2:32pm Dean: Sure, Marie in Chicago. What do you know about sound engineering?
	2:33pm johnk77: the confidence man
	2:33pm Dean: ("Not a damn thing" is a perfectly acceptable reply.)
	2:33pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Dean @2:32 well, nothing, but I could give you my opinions.... I could edit any written materials...
	2:33pm Dean: Haven't read that one yet, johnk77, but it's coming.
	2:34pm Marie in Chicago: just slow the music down, UM
	2:34pm Dean: And Melville's over-the-top review of Hawthorne's Mosses From an Old Manse prompts me to detour to Hawthorne.
	2:34pm Marie in Chicago: I love your show, UM
	2:35pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Dean @2:34 Melville's a genius. I happened upon his grave once. Didn't know it was there. Was visiting an old notable graveyard in the Bronx
	2:37pm Dean: Sad news: My favorite pizza joint, Pizzamania, suffered a major fire a few days ago. It was the best pizza in the world, by a long stretch. Now there is no longer a best pizza in the world. Yeah, I'm agog with Melville's genius.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:34 Aww shucks!
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:37 Where is the second best pizza in the world sold?
	2:39pm Marie in Chicago: I'd say Melville was divinely inspired (I think all great art is)
	2:39pm Dean: Opinions differ. Some say NYC, others New Haven, Rome, Naples.
	2:41pm Marie in Chicago: I'd say Naples, fer sher
	2:42pm Dean: Wilder Still Are the Vocal Cords
	2:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyerDinkyers! Given your TShirt, I don't detect any Hoboken inflections , Unc.
	2:43pm egould: ↳ Song: "Wild Is The Wind" by "Patty Waters" This one is really amusing Mrs. gould.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:45pm still b/p: There's a public radio show and podcast, Dead Writers, that has hosts visiting houses of famous authors, several -- including Hawthorne's -- in Maine so far, "Riffing on literature, history, home décor, gardens, and ghosts..." I've heard quick bits of it while driving, but I don't know...
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: i'm back, with no answers
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:45 Any new questions?
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: Concert alert! PETE TOWNSHEND brings his CLASSIC QUADROPHENIA tour to Chicago tonight and closes it out in LA at the Greek Theater on Monday with guest vocalist EDDIE VEDDER. The cast consists of operatic tenor, ALFIE BOE, and BILLY IDOL, replete with symphony orchestra.
	2:47pm Dean: I'm not into travel, but I probably will have to get to the NE for Melville, Hawthorne, and such. I really want to visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
	2:48pm Dean: Amherst for Dickinson
	2:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:45 same old questions in new packages
	2:49pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, thanks UM!
	2:50pm spodiodi: ↳ egould @2:15 today, think i'm going to try venturing out on my electric kick scooter for the first time in over two months... i've been doing the smart thing up until now, and listening to my surgeon's orders to not carry more than 30 lbs since my multiple hernia surgery (which was on July 10th). it weight 38.x lbs and i live up two-plus flights of stairs now. (treacherous for me). but i'm bouncing off the walls, so, i'll probably go for it
	2:50pm spodiodi: it's so nice and sunny out today
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 Have fun and be careful.
	2:51pm dan: Tom Petty, what a voice
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 slowly and carefully. i think you'll be okay.
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Great stuff today, Uncle Michael! Hadn't heard AUDIENCE in a coon's age. THANKS!
	2:52pm Dean: Your surgeon should also have advised against bouncing off the walls. Sometimes the most knowledgeable, prudent medical advisor is the patient.
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: -(and what UM said - have fun! )
	2:53pm dan: Nice to hear The Beatles, I mean Klaatu
	2:53pm KWilde: Another gem UM
	2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 I didn't run for 7 weeks after my lingual hernia 15 years ago. Lots of walking instead. be careful.
	2:54pm Dean: Klaatu are in fact Tal M. Klein.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hanging out with me today, everyone.
	2:54pm spodiodi: thank, UM, coelacanthØ... i think i will too. the steps are the trickiest part. i've been bounced around on crowded busses so violently while not using it... i'm sure the scooter alone will be less of a threat than those bus experiences
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: is this klaatu trying to sound like elo trying to sound like the beatles?
	2:55pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks for everything, Unc... and no animals were harmed!
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks for the tunes, UM!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: I'm off to eat some pets. Late lunch on Fridays!
	2:56pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, UM!
	2:56pm still b/p: ↳ spodiodi @2:54 Can you ask or barter in the building for some assistance?
	2:56pm Dean: Oh, right, they've been simmering for almost three hours! Gosh, the meat just falls off the bone.
	2:56pm Alvy Singer: Thanks UM! Another freeform beauty in the books.
	2:56pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:55 HAR! (insert bad joke here)
	2:57pm still b/p: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:55 And coyotes have been taking the blame for years! Shame!
	2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:55 You baaad!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: ↳ still b/p @2:57 It was me all along.
	2:58pm DjLorraine: As playful and relaxing as catnip! Thanks Uncle Michael.
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: if you eat my pet omelette i'll be angry
	2:58pm spodiodi: no~!
	2:59pm Marie in Chicago: what a wacko
	2:59pm Dean: Mmmm, albatross Châteaubriand.
	2:59pm egould: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks UM!
	2:59pm Marie in Chicago: I despise that fool
	2:59pm (Mr) Bill: Many thanks, UM.
	2:59pm dan: Thanks UM
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Uncle Michael! Hear you next week!
	3:00pm Dean: Just got the joke. Goat's head soup.
	3:00pm Phillippe: Thanks UM!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: (still don't know who it is talking about eating dogs and cats)
	3:00pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:59 . . . but Viktor Orban says . . .
	3:01pm WR: according to the drummer stream page, no ARB today.
	3:01pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @3:00 omg (shaking head)--all his "fans" are watching Fox or something...
	3:01pm Uncle Michael: bye bye!
	3:02pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Uncle Michael @3:01 bubbye now
	3:04pm coelacanth∅: ...oh, was it actually donald dump?!
	3:05pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Marie in Chicago @3:01 On the serious side, I hope more swing voters know who Viktor Orban is.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 13, 2024

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.

	12:17pm dan: The big celebrity loss of the last week was James Earl Jones, but the underrated celebrity loss of the last few days has got to be Herbie Flowers, the bassist everyone knows about except his name. Probably the king of the bass driven songs.
	12:18pm Gerry from Miami: OOPS! Almost walked under a ladder! And I see some cracks in the sidewalk up ahead. And is that a black cat approaching my path? I ain't SUPERstitious, but I might be somewhat "stitious." Howdy to you, Unca Mike! Glad to be on board today

	12:25pm wenzo: Love me some Blind Willie Johnson
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: coel! rw! Stanley! wenzo!
	12:27pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" Ha hoo! DJ UM, you are a rascal.
	12:27pm dan: 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱 🍽️🐶🐱
	🛒 12:27pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" 🤣
	12:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" Oh, this is so old and overplayed!
	12:28pm wenzo: Did you hear Hank Azaria doing Chief Wiggum taking a call about people eating cats & dogs in Springfield? Pretty funny.
	12:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" haha...sounds like something ronald mcdonald trump would say to justify his racism..."they're eating the dogs and cats, that's what these people do"
	12:29pm dan: @wenzo “Mr. Katz is eating dogs?”
	12:29pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Pets" by "Noise" If only it were funny. Decent, law-abiding folks' lives are being disrupted by that fuckwad.
	12:30pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:29 At the same time, it is funny.
	12:30pm TDK60: ↳ Roberto @12:29 Hi Roberto. The source isn't funny, but the DJ here is.
	12:30pm Roberto: ↳ TDK60 @12:30 Indeedy.
	12:31pm Listener Robert: Ever read NextDoor.com? It's very much like the dogs and cats stuff, all the time.
	12:32pm Jeff Moore: ❤️
	12:33pm wenzo: Check out the Onion coverage
	12:34pm unpopularfred: that's OK
	12:35pm Roberto: From 2016-2020 I had to employ a Chrome plugin that replaced all images of the human jizzbucket with images of kittens. I'm hoping to never need it again.
	12:35pm DjLorraine: I liked it ;D
	12:35pm KWilde: Good afternoon!
	12:35pm (Mr) Bill: Right on re the unlistenable Taylor Swift. How about some Linda Ronstadt?
	12:35pm unpopularfred: I didn't watch the debate as it was agreed Trump's mic would be turned on while he was speaking.
	12:35pm Roberto: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:35 Linda is Queen.
	12:36pm still b/p: I get it; interested in the debate shape and pulling for Harris to simply be clear, capable and confident....but I could NOT get past the first minute, given the attendant stresses, frustrations and oh-so-standard political debate buttons.
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ unpopularfred @12:35 haha!
	12:36pm Dean: I like Linda Ronstadt and Taylor Swift.
	12:36pm dan: @Mr Bill If Taylor Swift was played, I’d mute the show same with Springsteen, Mellencamp and U2
	12:37pm TDK60: I like this alternate version of "Tune." I'd forgot about it.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Roberto! fred! KWilde!
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:35 Right on? I didn't criticize her music. I praised her humanity.
	12:37pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:35 But I will continue looking at images of kittens regardless.
	12:37pm wenzo: @unpopularfred 😂
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:36 And you'd have to tell us all about it. Right?
	12:38pm egould: Is this the 'Who's Next' album version, or a different mix?
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:38 Yes, and half as long.
	12:39pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ dan @12:36 What makes it worse is that she’s capable of writing and performing reasonable music. “Mean” is a good song.
	12:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @12:38 I mean no, it's not.
	12:39pm coelacanth∅: i haven't watched a presidential debacle, er debate, since i think piece of shit reagan vs. the only good person that became a u.s. president in my lifetime, Jimmy Carter. pretty sure that's the first and last one.
	12:40pm Roberto: ↳ egould @12:38 Def not the album version.
	12:40pm Dean: I've never watched one. Presidential politics makes me feel icky.
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: sounds like a demo
	12:40pm (Mr) Bill: Right. I was (right-on)ing your saying that the humanity is much more important than the music.
	12:40pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:39 Hi Uncle Michael. Yeah now it is definitely sounding like a different version. Couldn't tell at first.
	12:41pm doctorjazz: I had the same feeling, version suounds different than what I recall (not that my recall is infallible...)
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Lifehouse: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:42pm Gerry from Miami: @egould. I think this "Gettin' in Tune" is from the recent deluxe box set reissue of "Who's Next."
	12:42pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "A Song For You" by "Leon Russell" Top 10. All time.
	12:44pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "A Song For You" by "Leon Russell" What a great debut album. Rock and roll.
	12:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "A Song For You" by "Leon Russell" 👍👍👍
	12:46pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Your Song" by "Elton John" It's a little bit funny how both debut songs seem connected, UM!
	12:47pm dan: Can’t wait to see the new Elton documentary that just premiered at the Toronto Film Festival
	12:47pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace, Leon, and Thanks again.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: ↳ TDK60 @12:46 They do. Elton inducted Leon into that excreble HoF.
	12:47pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:41 Pete Townshend seems a bit obsessed with the Lifehouse concept. Interesting.
	12:48pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:47 Another great chapter in Bill Janovitz's Leon Russell book!
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: man, Elton was so good, for a while. i got into him when "honky cat" was on the radio and asked for honky chateau (sp?) for xmas that year. i knew "your song" via 3 dog night
	12:51pm dan: Paul McCartney is playing the Trumpet on this track, apparently trumpet wasn’t one of his proficient instruments
	12:51pm TDK60: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:47 Probably as they were released weeks apart in '70.
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ dan @12:51 although his first (i think)
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Bill J. And Tanya Donelly have a song up promoting the upcoming Belly/Buffalo Tom shows: www.youtube.com...
	12:53pm johnk77: ↳ Alvy Singer @12:48 well done selecter strong agree the new leon russell book 1 of the top music books ever
	12:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Only A Northern Song" by "The Beatles" I think this was the first album I listened to repeatedly as a very young child. It still does it to me. I remember fixating and all the strange noises on this song.
	12:53pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:52 Love those two! Was just listening to Buffalo Tom earlier!
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: john! Rich! Bri!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @12:53 I was fortunate to get to see them again recently. They were as good as ever.
	12:55pm (Mr) Bill: “The Song Is Over” has never received the recognition and acclaim it merits, IMO.
	12:55pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:55 Awesome!
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @12:53 hey Bri!
	12:56pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Coel! :)
	12:58pm dan: Personnel on “This Song” George Harrison – vocals, electric guitars, tambourine, backing vocals Tom Scott – saxophones Billy Preston – piano, organ Willie Weeks – bass Alvin Taylor – drums Eric Idle – spoken voice
	12:59pm Alvy Singer: ↳ Song: "This Song" by "George Harrison" Guilty of Subconscious Plagiarism! Right Judge??
	1:00pm dan: No one plays organ like Billy Preston, especially on “This Song”
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Sometimes a person really does something without intentionally, consciously doing it. George totally lifted He's So Fine, even if he didn't do it on purpose. Guilty as charged...
	1:03pm spodiodi: Aloha, UM and happy friday!
	1:04pm Power Papi: ↳ Song: "Tribute" by "Tenacious D" Did someone demand the D?
	1:05pm dan: @UM Some of the rhythm sounded like The Four Tops’ “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch”
	1:05pm Dean: I am immersed in Melville these days, having read Moby-Dick for a second time and now venturing into other texts. Just now I read this sentence from one of his miscellaneous pieces: "The country looked underdone, its raw juices squirting all round." Most striking about that sentence, to me, is that if you told me John Ashbery had penned it, I would have believed you.
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: spodi! Papi!
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:01 a pretty easy mistake...3 chords in a very fetching melody. been done thousands of times.
	1:07pm Bri The Beatnik: I hadn’t even noticed it sounded similar
	1:08pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:01 Agreed. It’s difficult to understand how no one on the production team heard and was wary of the similarity.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: just glad you didn't play "sometimes i feel so uninspired" by traffic...an uninspired song about itself.
	1:09pm Gerry from Miami: Saw Leon Russell near the end of his days at a small club in Fort Lauderdale, Fl.. Bad experience. He seemed to be going through the motions and played exclusively on an overly loud electric keyboard. A painful experience. As my sister, brother-in-law and I exited the club, we saw Leon's support crew getting him to his van in a wheel chair. Wishing I had never seen him in this state. He was truly a great artist in his prime. Really want to read the Janovitz biography.
	1:09pm egould: I was walking along the sidewalk in Santa Barbara, CA back in March 2003, and sitting at a cafe table was Eric Idle. His dining partner; Steve Martin.

	1:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "San Francisco Girls" by "Fever Tree" Regularly played on late 60s NY FM radio!

	1:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "So Softly (Sherylee)" by "Rubba (Jacky Giordano,J... if this is plagiarism, nothin' is!

	1:27pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:26 ISN'T - if it isn't!
	1:27pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Song: "Down by the River" by "Neil Young & Crazy Horse" Ahh you read my mind!
	1:27pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Down by the River" by "Neil Young & Crazy Horse" Words don't capture how much I love this song
	1:27pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Bri The Beatnik @1:25 I'm glad I'm not the only one that heard it.
	1:28pm Gerry from Miami: I have often requested(and had played!) this 60s psychedelic classic by Fever Tree on the "robotic" ROCK 'n' SOUL stream here at WFMU by the "host," BUNNY. Always gratified to hear this fine tune.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ spodiodi @1:27 My radio socks are laid out for a post-show bike ride.
	1:28pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ johnk77 @1:27 I was so bummed that they cancelled their show here, literally, as I was about a block away from the venue
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "So Softly (Sherylee)" by "Rubba (Jacky Giordano,J... i was across the room and thought for sure it'd be entitled:"down by the river (instrumental)" ...but, alas...
	1:28pm dan: @johnk77 I regret not going.
	1:28pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ johnk77 @1:27 I’m so pissed with myself for missing it—just a 15-minute walk from home. What kind of fool am I?
	1:29pm WR: ↳ johnk77 @1:27 Nice but tweaks me to hear. If not for health issues (better now) I would have gone.
	1:29pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:27 :)
	1:29pm spodiodi: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:28 👍 looks like a nice day for it ☀️
	1:30pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:28 Yes! The owl played it once after I requested several times but I think it was merely coincidence

	1:30pm Bri The Beatnik: Aww bye Coel!
	1:31pm spodiodi: aloha, coelacanthØ!

	1:36pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ johnk77 @1:34 A few years ago, I heard Daltrey and the New York Pops in a concert version of “Tommy.” Good production.
	1:39pm johnk77: graven-nighties in the 1970s
	1:41pm Pedro in Arlington: Besides people eating dogs and cats, tickets for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have almost doubled in price for the same venue from the 2018 tour. I blame Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of the District of Columbia.
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: ↳ johnk77 @1:39 Thanks, John!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Pedro!
	1:43pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Slinky (Tal M. Klein Remix)" by "Brownout" nice gif. Give it up for "Slinky"!
	1:45pm egould: ↳ Pedro in Arlington @1:41 There's a life-size cardboard cutout of Nick Cave in the front window of Sonic Boom records in Seattle. I jog by it occasionally and it always freaks me out, "Who the hell is standing in the window at this time of the morning?!?" Oh yeah... cardboard nick Cave.
	1:45pm johnk77: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:41 he was a character carried a revolver the first gig i mixed sound for his band not in a dangerous venue;<

	1:58pm Dean: And in ice cream! Refrigerators full of ice cream!
	1:58pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @1:58 Dean’s ice cream!
	1:59pm Dean: And to think my parents almost named me Baskin.
	2:00pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @1:59 My mom’s friend Dean also makes ice cream (not to be confused with dean’s ice cream) it was pretty good
	2:01pm egould: ↳ Song: "Hip Strut" by "Jackie McLean" Real nice jazz.
	2:02pm Dean: I've made ice cream a few times. I need to get back into the habit of making pasta.
	2:03pm Bri The Beatnik: ↳ Dean @2:02 Yum
	2:05pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Cocktails For Two" by "Tommy Dorsey and His Orche... Spike Jones version next week?!
	2:05pm Bri The Beatnik: Wishing I listened to merrily this morning
	2:09pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Cocktails For Two" by "Tommy Dorsey and His Orche... There! That's like the music my roommates were always playing as I grew up!
	2:10pm Dean: Marian McPartland's "Willow" on her Hickory House recording is a good one, too. Okay, one final Melville: "Would you get a load of the size of that whale!" (Fake.)
	2:12pm Phillippe: Sitting on a pier fishing rn. Planning on rinsing and repeating this weekend
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:10 I would prefer not to.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Phillippe @2:12 Oh nice. Sometimes I imagine taking up fishing again.
	2:14pm Dean: "Bartleby" was among the recent tales I've read post-Moby-Dick. Can't recommend too highly "The Encantadas." After you've read it, check out Tobias Picker's recording of the piece he wrote for it. A mind-blower.
	2:15pm egould: I'm going for a nine-mile run tomorrow morning, one mile of which is a 400-foot stair climb through the Queen Anne neighborhood. Then Sunday a nice walk across the Ballard Locks to a couple of breweries and a cheeseburger.
	2:15pm Dean: Er, "tales I have recently read..."
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:14 Thanks for the tips!
	2:23pm dan: The Midnight Special performance that Humble Pie and The Blackberries did of “Oh La De Da” is incredible.
	2:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @2:23 I'll bet!
	2:26pm still b/p: ↳ Dean @2:14 I had a little palm-sized softcover of Bartleby -- handy portability being the purpose of the edition -- and took it on a couple backpack trips as prospective bedtime reading. Started at least twice and never finished. Maybe I can find the li'l rascal around here again. Maybe there's a bear somewhere reading it if it was left behind.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Komm, Komm" by "Nina Hagen" Deutsche-fonk
	2:29pm Dean: My recommendation, as above, would be to give "The Encantadas" a whirl, and maybe "Benito Cereno."
	2:30pm egould: ↳ Song: "Someone To Pull The Trigger (BBC 1 Session)" by "... So freaking beautiful. Love this tune!
	2:30pm Phillippe: Love this Matthew Sweet
	2:31pm Dean: I just figured out a way to make a million bucks. I'm gonna record an album of whatever, my own crappy non-music. But I'm gonna title the album Taylor's Version.
	2:31pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Dean @2:31 sounds good. Can I get in on that?
	2:32pm Dean: Sure, Marie in Chicago. What do you know about sound engineering?
	2:33pm johnk77: the confidence man
	2:33pm Dean: ("Not a damn thing" is a perfectly acceptable reply.)
	2:33pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Dean @2:32 well, nothing, but I could give you my opinions.... I could edit any written materials...
	2:33pm Dean: Haven't read that one yet, johnk77, but it's coming.
	2:34pm Marie in Chicago: just slow the music down, UM
	2:34pm Dean: And Melville's over-the-top review of Hawthorne's Mosses From an Old Manse prompts me to detour to Hawthorne.
	2:34pm Marie in Chicago: I love your show, UM
	2:35pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Dean @2:34 Melville's a genius. I happened upon his grave once. Didn't know it was there. Was visiting an old notable graveyard in the Bronx
	2:37pm Dean: Sad news: My favorite pizza joint, Pizzamania, suffered a major fire a few days ago. It was the best pizza in the world, by a long stretch. Now there is no longer a best pizza in the world. Yeah, I'm agog with Melville's genius.
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:34 Aww shucks!
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @2:37 Where is the second best pizza in the world sold?
	2:39pm Marie in Chicago: I'd say Melville was divinely inspired (I think all great art is)
	2:39pm Dean: Opinions differ. Some say NYC, others New Haven, Rome, Naples.
	2:41pm Marie in Chicago: I'd say Naples, fer sher
	2:42pm Dean: Wilder Still Are the Vocal Cords
	2:42pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello HinkyerDinkyers! Given your TShirt, I don't detect any Hoboken inflections , Unc.
	2:43pm egould: ↳ Song: "Wild Is The Wind" by "Patty Waters" This one is really amusing Mrs. gould.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Kevin!
	2:45pm still b/p: There's a public radio show and podcast, Dead Writers, that has hosts visiting houses of famous authors, several -- including Hawthorne's -- in Maine so far, "Riffing on literature, history, home décor, gardens, and ghosts..." I've heard quick bits of it while driving, but I don't know...
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: i'm back, with no answers
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:45 Any new questions?
	2:46pm Gerry from Miami: Concert alert! PETE TOWNSHEND brings his CLASSIC QUADROPHENIA tour to Chicago tonight and closes it out in LA at the Greek Theater on Monday with guest vocalist EDDIE VEDDER. The cast consists of operatic tenor, ALFIE BOE, and BILLY IDOL, replete with symphony orchestra.
	2:47pm Dean: I'm not into travel, but I probably will have to get to the NE for Melville, Hawthorne, and such. I really want to visit the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
	2:48pm Dean: Amherst for Dickinson
	2:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:45 same old questions in new packages
	2:49pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, thanks UM!
	2:50pm spodiodi: ↳ egould @2:15 today, think i'm going to try venturing out on my electric kick scooter for the first time in over two months... i've been doing the smart thing up until now, and listening to my surgeon's orders to not carry more than 30 lbs since my multiple hernia surgery (which was on July 10th). it weight 38.x lbs and i live up two-plus flights of stairs now. (treacherous for me). but i'm bouncing off the walls, so, i'll probably go for it
	2:50pm spodiodi: it's so nice and sunny out today
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 Have fun and be careful.
	2:51pm dan: Tom Petty, what a voice
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 slowly and carefully. i think you'll be okay.
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Great stuff today, Uncle Michael! Hadn't heard AUDIENCE in a coon's age. THANKS!
	2:52pm Dean: Your surgeon should also have advised against bouncing off the walls. Sometimes the most knowledgeable, prudent medical advisor is the patient.
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: -(and what UM said - have fun! )
	2:53pm dan: Nice to hear The Beatles, I mean Klaatu
	2:53pm KWilde: Another gem UM
	2:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ spodiodi @2:50 I didn't run for 7 weeks after my lingual hernia 15 years ago. Lots of walking instead. be careful.
	2:54pm Dean: Klaatu are in fact Tal M. Klein.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for hanging out with me today, everyone.
	2:54pm spodiodi: thank, UM, coelacanthØ... i think i will too. the steps are the trickiest part. i've been bounced around on crowded busses so violently while not using it... i'm sure the scooter alone will be less of a threat than those bus experiences
	2:54pm coelacanth∅: is this klaatu trying to sound like elo trying to sound like the beatles?
	2:55pm KevinfromBayRidge: Thanks for everything, Unc... and no animals were harmed!
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks for the tunes, UM!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: I'm off to eat some pets. Late lunch on Fridays!
	2:56pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks, UM!
	2:56pm still b/p: ↳ spodiodi @2:54 Can you ask or barter in the building for some assistance?
	2:56pm Dean: Oh, right, they've been simmering for almost three hours! Gosh, the meat just falls off the bone.
	2:56pm Alvy Singer: Thanks UM! Another freeform beauty in the books.
	2:56pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:55 HAR! (insert bad joke here)
	2:57pm still b/p: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:55 And coyotes have been taking the blame for years! Shame!
	2:58pm KevinfromBayRidge: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:55 You baaad!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: ↳ still b/p @2:57 It was me all along.
	2:58pm DjLorraine: As playful and relaxing as catnip! Thanks Uncle Michael.
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: if you eat my pet omelette i'll be angry
	2:58pm spodiodi: no~!
	2:59pm Marie in Chicago: what a wacko

	3:00pm Dean: Just got the joke. Goat's head soup.
	3:00pm Phillippe: Thanks UM!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: (still don't know who it is talking about eating dogs and cats)
	3:00pm Alex In Downers Grove: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:59 . . . but Viktor Orban says . . .
	3:01pm WR: according to the drummer stream page, no ARB today.
	3:01pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @3:00 omg (shaking head)--all his "fans" are watching Fox or something...
