Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from September 12, 2014 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

It's like those soundalike songs they record to sound as close to pop tunes as legally possible but are used as production music and such. I swear there's a snippet of one of those faux-tunes used on our local NPR station that's a soundalike of the opening of the Stranglers' "Always the Sun."
