	🛒 7:51am WR: Looking at the playlist from last week's show, I realize that although I had it streaming, I didn't really hear it. Near to evolve a third ear to keep up with it all.
	12:03pm chresti: Hi UM and dinks!
	🛒 12:05pm listener 126464: Hi Uncle Michael, hello everyone.

	🛒 12:07pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Yay Topeka! Hello, Uncle Michael and Hinky Dinky pals!

	12:08pm Funky16Corners: Greetings hinkers and dinkers

	12:10pm wendy del formaggio: Hi friends. If you want to read an article on the history and importance of Juneteenth, here’s one: https://bit.ly/2Ndqvkx Bonus: the article also briefly recounts the origins of Memorial Day, then known as Decoration Day, and that it was started by Black Americans.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	🛒 12:11pm WR: Thanks for the link Wendy.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I'm doing seven hours and the two longest tracks are the first two tracks. That's not smart DJing.
	12:13pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Uncle Michael! Virtual hugs to you. You’re welcome, WR. I hope you enjoy the article.
	12:13pm Rich in Washington: My first live solo radio gig was seven hours.
	🛒 12:14pm Franco Twinkie: Out here in California Juneteenth goes hand in hand with June Gloom - and Boysenberries!
	🛒 12:15pm listener 126464: Thanks Wendy
	12:15pm Pedro in Arlington: Good jersey selection for the first game, Uncle Mike. Guessing you're going with the alternate home jersey for the second, maybe with the batting practice cap? Good luck. Sweep.
	12:16pm doctorjazz: True, UM, but picture this McPhee track in the middle of the dance party...
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! good point Doc
	12:22pm chresti: You can always play an extended dub mix version of a track later, for the dance party?
	12:22pm wendy del formaggio: I was very fortunate to have seen Lonnie Holley play in a small museum in Peterborough, NH, in the spring of 2018. Here’s an article about him, which includes mention of the show: https://bit.ly/2YOMJ1D I’m full of articles today.
	12:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Hinkly Dinklies. Is the video working today? I get an error message when I click the Play triangle.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Ken! some issues. I've restarted it.
	12:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Peek - a - boo! I see you now! "WFMU Radio" t-shirt. Thanks!
	12:27pm chresti: I learned about Juneteenth from a fellow parimutuel clerk, while working at Hollywood Park racetrack, in Inglewood in the late 70s.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: It's a re-run.
	12:31pm Martinibomb: Digging the show today UM! And i also dug Doug's show. Lots of digging going on.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: Mb! Thanks.
	12:33pm Martinibomb: get to do yard work and listen to your wonderful show and yank weeds
	12:35pm dan: I’m late to the party
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: dan!
	🛒 12:37pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Well ain't this a jaunty little ditty!
	🛒 12:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Franco Twinkie: is June Gloom the same as Juneuary?
	12:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Late due to another dumb meeting. Good day, Dinks!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Hopey!
	12:44pm Otis Fodder: Hi UM and all. So hot here today in Montreal, crossed sprinkler streams to the beat of the Drummer. Wow, Cheyenne is on today, yay!
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Otis!
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Uncle, guess all the updates went well.
	12:46pm Otis Fodder: I'm live Michael, live I tell ya. Nice to be here.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: All but one (radio-irrelevant) issue was sorted, Brian.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: We're about to hear a mess of gospel songs that have history with the Underground Railroad (possibly containing coded messages and such).
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Good question,Granny. If Juneuary means overcast skies, yes.
	12:50pm Listener Robert: Uncle Michael, I see you there on twitch video, and I'd like to know HOW YOU GET IN AND OUT OF THERE? Do you duck under? Is there a hidden passage? What if there's a fire? Safety first!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Robert, I use a transporter.
	12:52pm Listener Robert: Whew, that's a relief. How much do you pay him to carry you out of there, or is he a volunteer?
	12:52pm Roberto: We sang "Oh Freedom" in my 7th grade music class.
	12:53pm Roberto: The whitest chorus you ever seen.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Roberto. LR, I just tell Scotty to beam me in and out.
	12:53pm βrian: If need be, UN has egress via the window. From there it's a only a few steps to the hammock.
	12:54pm βrian: "UM"
	12:59pm doctorjazz: No video on my Android phone (accessed via FMU Home Page)
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: No clue, Doc.
	1:01pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Uncle Michael!
	1:01pm bigplanetnoise: Howdy Really Lisa - and all HDers today!!!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	1:02pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding great!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Thank thee.
	1:03pm doctorjazz: This Golden Gate Jubilee Quarter outs wonderful! We don't need no stinking band!
	1:03pm chresti: Doc, I got it using the link in the drummer e-mail
	1:04pm dan: When is the Motown portion of the show coming?
	1:06pm Really Lisa: Oh hey there bigplanetnoise, we meet again on this super-stream :)
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: It's what it is, not what it's not.
	1:06pm Dominick: Good afternoon!
	1:12pm Dean: American officials sure were (and are) a bunch of passive-aggressive fucking babies, weren't (aren't) they?
	1:13pm Jeff Golick: I listened to this Baldwin via youtube recently.
	1:16pm johnk77: great work @um twitch is back also houston person is a cool guy and a total pro the 1 gig i did w/him
	1:16pm Jeff Golick: Baldwin is so freaking clear-sighted about America, it's astonishing. (To me, if not to him.)
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Dominick! Dean! john!
	1:17pm wendy del formaggio: I love listening to James Baldwin speak, for so many reasons. The message and the delivery are the main subject headings.
	1:18pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Chresti! (UMs email actually didn't work at all, the links didn't go anywhere. But the an email Doug sends out with all the day's shows did work).
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: hmmm...thanks, for the info, Doc
	1:19pm dan: I’m probably gonna get flak for this but I’m of the opinion that rap is an alternative for those that can’t sing or write music properly.
	1:20pm chresti: That is the one we get, from Doug@doc
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: that's fucking bullshit, dan you mean like that?
	1:23pm Dean: dan just needs to hear Cardi B. She'll set him straight.
	1:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: You mean like Punk, Dan? Or Garage?
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Ahh, UM also sends out his own emails separate from the full day one Doug sends.
	1:24pm Cheyenne: dan, rap may not be a form you understand as 'art' but that's the beauty of art - it never appeals to everyone! Rap is often a vehicle for AMAZING prose, so perhaps you can appreciate it from a literary standpoint.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Cheyenne!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Doc, the dual playlists today caught me out, I guess.
	1:32pm dan: Just my opinion, I’m entitled to them.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: No problem, UM, it's the listening that counts (and the show HAS been GREAT! Though I do miss your smiling punim in, of course).
	1:34pm wendy del formaggio: What if I claimed that those who sing only do so because they can’t rap, and those who write songs only do so because they can’t freestyle? Which one is the supreme expression of artistic merit? Trick question. Both.
	1:35pm StringOFperils: "Music properly" generally translates as western European music, the music that has become conventionally broken down into western scales and tonalities, as developed, notated, and made into systems, by (almost exclusively) white Europeans. Which is a minority in the world.
	1:35pm dan: @Cheyenne Prose maybe, musically no
	1:36pm StringOFperils: "Music properly" is like staring at your navel, and denying that there's anything there when (if) you look up.
	1:37pm still b/p: Interesting context and application and timing for presenting such wide presumption and narrow regard AND then also choosing the term "entitled."
	1:37pm dan: @Hopey I’m not even that big a punk fan
	1:38pm unpopularfred: Once again, well put Uncle Michael
	🛒 1:38pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Whoa. Kick ass Uncle Michale.
	1:38pm Otis Fodder: Dan, totally get your opinion, but it's really the same across genres... loads of folks can't read/write music and in Hip Hop, many producers do. In Rap or Rock or Square Dance Calling, the voice is the instrument and quite often, learning to read/write music flows over to the musicians in the band or within a hip hop structure. Loads of hip hop producers can read/write music too, check out Adrian Younge (and associated projects, really fantastic). Loads to discover out there. Cheers!
	1:39pm doctorjazz: I don't agree with the "rap is artless" view, though I used to worry that it might cause less folks to work hard mastering instruments. But, hip hop has been around since 1980 or so...i haven't noted any shortage of musicians...
	1:39pm Cheyenne: dan, if you don't like Rap or Punk you will really not like my set, (though keep an open mind and you may find something you can appreciate). Haha.
	1:39pm Rich in Washington: UM! YES!
	1:40pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Right on, UM. Right fucking on.
	1:40pm Otis Fodder: ...all those classic Sugar Hill hits replaying Good Time gems in the studio with cats reading and writing or bless the hears (or ears) that can pick up anything and have perfect pitch.
	1:40pm Otis Fodder: RICH!
	1:41pm Dean: Not so fast, SOFp. There's nothing wrong with contriving a system of musical production and then assessing whether or not a particular instance of it is "properly" executed. See, e.g., sonata form or Schoenberg's instructions for 12-tone serial composition. Half the fun, then, of listening to works that adopt a system is in fact in recognizing the degree to which the composer "properly" complies with it.
	1:41pm Rich in Washington: OTIS!
	1:42pm joe: 'ello folks
	1:42pm burke: I would never be a loyal listener to a show that didn't sometimes grate or push me out of my comfort zone. I love to be reminded of how limited "my" musical taste is.
	1:43pm Otis Fodder: well, leggo my 'ello joe. Hi! Hi Cheyenne too!! Looking forward to your segment today.
	1:43pm dan: Merry Clayton, an underrated talent
	1:44pm Martinibomb: I hate the whole rap isn't music.. so old. music is composed of melody, harmony and rhythm. rap/hip hop is more heavily rhythm based.. that's all they even talk about is making beats etc.. the flow of the lyrics. That all rhythm/time which is HUGE HUGE thing for music U could almost argue that rappers can make music without harmony/melody but u can't make music without rhythm. Time is maybe the key ingredient.
	1:45pm joe: Almost every style of music was considered by a subset to "not be real music" when it came to be.
	1:45pm Rich in Washington: We'll put, burke! One of the things I love about this show is both the variety and breadth of the music presented and also the lengths at which Uncle Michael goes to tell us about its inclusion, context, history, etc.
	1:45pm Cheyenne: Also, I'm gonna go ahead and be 'that guy' (tho I'm a gal) - the very notion of 'proper' music being equivalent to white/european music notation/structure/etc is a way of dismissing every other type of music and by extension normalizes white supremacy. Dan, I'm gonna guess you're white (or pass as white) and were raised in a cultural environment that normalized white culture as 'standard,' 'normal,' etc. It's ok to acknowledge that you don't like something, but think critically about your biases - even when it comes to taste in music. Peace!
	1:46pm Dean: Cage had an even more expansive conception of music. My personal prejudice, however, is that if it doesn't involve a huge choir bellowing out from the tabernacle, it ain't music.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: "rap isn't music" is racist
	1:49pm dan: @Cheyenne I’m very much into blues, jazz, and gospel. I just don’t like rap.
	1:49pm chresti: As Marcel M would say "What was music?"
	1:50pm StringOFperils: There's nothing wrong with anything Dean. That's my point. Where the fuck do people think "proper music" comes from in the first place? It comes from folk musics. The vocal line of an ancient Greek ode. The line of the voice in Plainsong. The voice that joins the wind. Rap utilizes the voice, and it initially concentrates more on one aspect of "proper" music more than others: rhythm. Like earlier forms, it sings the news, it carries the culture, the history, the now. It represents a contemporary response to the world that has direct kinship to earlier historic forms that had a similar function. As such, it has everything to do with music, that first music, upon which much later "proper music" is based.
	1:50pm Dean: Marcel M could talk?
	1:51pm Otis Fodder: Ha, now I'm thinking of the album, "The Best Of Marcel Marceao". haaaaa.
	1:51pm Dean: I'm not sure I subscribe to so purely genetic a theory of music is, I guess, my point. Not all of it is a nod to the ur-song.
	1:53pm chresti: Haha, DJ Marcel M:www.wfmu.org...
	1:55pm Otis Fodder: UM - Thanks for Merry Clayton, killing myself now for purging her Gimme Shelter album on a move years ago. Going to revisit it now, yesss!
	1:55pm still b/p: Marceau shoulda done an album in which he hit and nailed the top Plant and Daltrey screams.
	1:55pm chresti: Oooh, time to put on the dancing shoes.. Thanks UM!
	1:56pm rw: Good morning! Digging.
	1:56pm Otis Fodder: Hey Hey Cheyenne!
	1:56pm Dean: Marcel Marceau would have done a multi-media version of "In a Glass House."
	1:57pm chresti: Wups, not yet, another hour before dancing time.
	1:57pm Doug Schulkind: Come back, Cheyenne! We love and miss you!
	1:59pm chresti: Hi Cheyenne!
	2:00pm doctorjazz: Hey, Cheyenne!
	2:01pm Cheyenne: Hi everyone!!!!!!
	2:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Confound it! I was away for a bit. I missed Cheyenne? Drat!
	🛒 2:02pm Franco Twinkie: I'm not fatigued, I just can't run from cops anymore.
	2:02pm joe: @ken nope she just started
	2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: OK, cool. Hey, Cheyenne and the mighty pangolin!
	🛒 2:05pm listener 126464: Killer Mike is the man
	2:05pm joe: Killer Mike is just one big beautiful needed trigger.
	2:05pm Cheyenne: There are SO MANY WAYS to stay involved! Writing letters, signing petitions, calling elected officials, making art, donating to bail funds, working in journalism, coding websites and apps that help legal observers and community services. Choose a lane and get in it! <3
	🛒 2:07pm WR: dan, fully valid to not like or enjoy a type of entertainment, human expression. That is opinion. Yes each person should be allowed their personal preferences and to state them. Saying something is not music or the expression is not properly made is not valid. Plus context. Some days Bee Gees totally make me retch. And it can be hard to always check one self from making personal reaction or opinion into a charge against the expression's validity. I personally draw the line and in some cases will call out homophobic or sexist or drug gang glorification.
	2:08pm Cheyenne: If you wanna help bail out some friends in Kentucky who were arrested today go to bailproject.org and pitch in. Protest & social justice in the time of coronavirus is totally doable. Choose your risk level and do what you can. We all gotta push!
	🛒 2:08pm WR: PUSH!
	2:09pm Dean: Janelle is singing about senseless violins.
	2:13pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @WR and would you go listen to a dj doing a Bee Gees set and tell him it SUX play some real music? (probably not)
	2:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: There is also the Bandcamp fund-raiser happening until midnight PDT - daily.bandcamp.com...
	2:15pm burke: Boots!
	2:15pm Otis Fodder: Coup from Oaktown, nice pick!!
	2:17pm barrett785: It's a coup! Kill My Landlord! UM4PREZ!
	🛒 2:22pm listener 126464: Boots is involved with something that just came out i think
	🛒 2:22pm Franco Twinkie: I was hit by a cop in NYC for the transgression of falling asleep at the library.
	2:22pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Busy working, but the Coup is so damn good. If you haven't seen it, you should check out Sorry to Bother You, which Boots Riley wrote and directed.
	2:24pm The Oscar: Also, the track "Pimps" by the Coup, from 1994, has an INCREDIBLE twist in the third verse which I would not dream of spoiling.
	2:26pm Otis Fodder: Ride that genre wave!
	🛒 2:27pm listener 126464: doesn't make it alright?
	🛒 2:29pm WR: I've read so many high praise articles/ interviews in the last couple of years regarding Janelle Monáe that l've feared hearing that recent release. Feared that I would lose trust in the sources of the hype. The track you played is enough to want me to hear more.
	2:30pm Hopey Sockmonkey: It's been great to hear so much Two-Tone in the last weeks.
	2:31pm joe: I was lucky enough to see Janelle Monae some years ago open for No Doubt she has an amazing live presence too. That was like 10 years ago and she was amazing then I can only imagine with that decade under her belt how much more amazing she is.
	2:32pm wendy del formaggio: YES! This Dead Kennedys song has gone through my head so often lately. Well, forever, really.
	2:32pm joe: Nazi punks was one of the songs on my long list for Music From Shut Ins
	2:34pm Cheyenne: Right on, Joe & Wendy! Nazi punks SHOULD fuck off, but they keep joining police forces instead
	2:34pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The Death documentary was very good I need to watch it again.
	2:35pm Cheyenne: Disarm, Defund, Demilitarize. Say it with me, friends!
	🛒 2:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Highlight on my Monday karaoke fun this week was "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!"
	2:36pm wendy del formaggio: Everything Cheyenne said!
	2:36pm Cheyenne: Wage Peace everyday!
	🛒 2:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Right on!
	🛒 2:37pm WR: Hope @2:13, personally I avoid conflict, so I wouldn't do that. But to your point, it would be valid to say, we wanna hear something else, not that Bee Gee disco phase songs are not real music like their early lovely ballads.
	2:38pm Otis Fodder: Dis the arms, def to defund and dem socialists milatarize. Mic drop.
	2:39pm joe: Also please if you are someone who supports organized labor do not let the police unions fool you into believing that pointing out that they are one of the biggest perpetrators of the police racism problem means that you are against labor. The people who are being killed and destroyed have more in common with you then the over militarized under trained thin blue line.
	2:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @WR I'm a fan of both periods, really ;)
	2:40pm βrian: When Scott Walker moved to kill the unions in Wisconsin, he made an exception for police unions, naturally.
	2:41pm barrett785: WR - CONFLICT is like top 5 anarchobritwave imho.
	2:42pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @WR But to be clear, my sarcasm wasn't directed at you. I think that person has wisely left.
	2:45pm Dean: When I met our beloved host, both he and I were wearing that particular WFMU t-shirt. We had not coordinated.
	2:45pm wendy del formaggio: What joe said at 2:39. TOTALLY. One of the historic functions of the police has been to supress worker organizing and protest, and that continues today. If you look at Jacobin and Current Affairs online magazines you can read a lot about it.
	2:46pm βrian: @Dean: "Matchy, matchy!"
	2:47pm Dean: We must be sartorial soul mates.
	🛒 2:50pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Enjoying this program and that set and discussion, thank you Cheyenne and Uncle Michael!
	2:50pm Dean: In SoCal by '81 the relatively few number of great OC punk bands were completely overshadowed by the dumbshit skinhead scenesters. It was all so different from three or four years before.
	2:50pm joe: @wendy I feel that is were much of the major attack has to start. They are the essential "secret socity" fraternity like boys club that are doing everything in their power to not have their ball taken away from them. They have a direct mental connection to the early NYC Tammany Hall were they were more of private military then a organization to serve public
	2:50pm Dean: geez, "number of"...who's the dumbshit?
	2:51pm Cheyenne: www.youtube.com...
	2:51pm Roberto: I've always thought under the rock is better.
	🛒 2:58pm listener 126464: Thank you Uncle Michael, thank you Cheyenne!
	2:58pm Hopey Sockmonkey: When trump was directing his xenophobia towards Mexicans/Latins suddenly it became okay for people to yell racist shit at me and those like me on the Metro. In Los Angeles. Mind boggling.
	2:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, UM & Cheyenne. Fight the power!
	🛒 2:58pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Burbank! My home town! Represent!
	2:59pm Otis Fodder: Thanks for the conversation and music today Michael and Cheyenne. Take care all.
	2:59pm wendy del formaggio: Thank you Cheyenne!!!
	2:59pm joe: Thank you Cheyenne and Uncle Michael!!!!!
	2:59pm Cheyenne: Love you guys!!!!
	2:59pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Thank you, Cheyenne.
	2:59pm Dean: Keep in mind, however, that the powerful--wealthy capitalists--have no issue with anti-racists embracing and including POC and the poor, so long as the opportunity to divide and conquer remains available to them, as it likely will. Capital loves the chance to market itself as anti-racist, pro-LBGTQ, inclusive.
	2:59pm barrett785: Top notch program today.
	2:59pm βrian: I'm still waiting for a taco cart on every corner ...
	🛒 2:59pm WR: Thank you Cheyenne!
	3:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Is it time to dance away the crazy? Because I really need that. Thank you, UM!
	3:01pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael continues here: wfmu.org...
	🛒 3:01pm WR: Different playlist for the party?
	3:02pm chresti: Thanks !

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from June 19, 2020

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.

Listener comments!
	🛒 7:51am WR: Looking at the playlist from last week's show, I realize that although I had it streaming, I didn't really hear it. Near to evolve a third ear to keep up with it all.
	12:03pm chresti: Hi UM and dinks!
	🛒 12:05pm listener 126464: Hi Uncle Michael, hello everyone.
	12:06pm Listening Out There: It's the Friday...

	12:10pm wendy del formaggio: Hi friends. If you want to read an article on the history and importance of Juneteenth, here’s one: https://bit.ly/2Ndqvkx Bonus: the article also briefly recounts the origins of Memorial Day, then known as Decoration Day, and that it was started by Black Americans.
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	🛒 12:11pm WR: Thanks for the link Wendy.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I'm doing seven hours and the two longest tracks are the first two tracks. That's not smart DJing.
	12:13pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Uncle Michael! Virtual hugs to you. You’re welcome, WR. I hope you enjoy the article.
	12:13pm Rich in Washington: My first live solo radio gig was seven hours.
	🛒 12:14pm Franco Twinkie: Out here in California Juneteenth goes hand in hand with June Gloom - and Boysenberries!
	🛒 12:15pm listener 126464: Thanks Wendy
	12:15pm Pedro in Arlington: Good jersey selection for the first game, Uncle Mike. Guessing you're going with the alternate home jersey for the second, maybe with the batting practice cap? Good luck. Sweep.
	12:16pm doctorjazz: True, UM, but picture this McPhee track in the middle of the dance party...
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! good point Doc
	12:22pm chresti: You can always play an extended dub mix version of a track later, for the dance party?
	12:22pm wendy del formaggio: I was very fortunate to have seen Lonnie Holley play in a small museum in Peterborough, NH, in the spring of 2018. Here’s an article about him, which includes mention of the show: https://bit.ly/2YOMJ1D I’m full of articles today.
	12:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Hinkly Dinklies. Is the video working today? I get an error message when I click the Play triangle.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Ken! some issues. I've restarted it.
	12:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Peek - a - boo! I see you now! "WFMU Radio" t-shirt. Thanks!
	12:27pm chresti: I learned about Juneteenth from a fellow parimutuel clerk, while working at Hollywood Park racetrack, in Inglewood in the late 70s.
	12:27pm Uncle Michael: It's a re-run.
	12:31pm Martinibomb: Digging the show today UM! And i also dug Doug's show. Lots of digging going on.
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: Mb! Thanks.
	12:33pm Martinibomb: get to do yard work and listen to your wonderful show and yank weeds
	12:35pm dan: I’m late to the party
	12:36pm Uncle Michael: dan!
	🛒 12:37pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Well ain't this a jaunty little ditty!
	🛒 12:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Franco Twinkie: is June Gloom the same as Juneuary?
	12:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Late due to another dumb meeting. Good day, Dinks!
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: Hopey!
	12:44pm Otis Fodder: Hi UM and all. So hot here today in Montreal, crossed sprinkler streams to the beat of the Drummer. Wow, Cheyenne is on today, yay!
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: Otis!
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: Uncle, guess all the updates went well.
	12:46pm Otis Fodder: I'm live Michael, live I tell ya. Nice to be here.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: All but one (radio-irrelevant) issue was sorted, Brian.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: We're about to hear a mess of gospel songs that have history with the Underground Railroad (possibly containing coded messages and such).
	🛒 12:49pm Franco Twinkie: Good question,Granny. If Juneuary means overcast skies, yes.
	12:50pm Listener Robert: Uncle Michael, I see you there on twitch video, and I'd like to know HOW YOU GET IN AND OUT OF THERE? Do you duck under? Is there a hidden passage? What if there's a fire? Safety first!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Robert, I use a transporter.
	12:52pm Listener Robert: Whew, that's a relief. How much do you pay him to carry you out of there, or is he a volunteer?
	12:52pm Roberto: We sang "Oh Freedom" in my 7th grade music class.
	12:53pm Roberto: The whitest chorus you ever seen.
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: Roberto. LR, I just tell Scotty to beam me in and out.
	12:53pm βrian: If need be, UN has egress via the window. From there it's a only a few steps to the hammock.
	12:54pm βrian: "UM"
	12:59pm doctorjazz: No video on my Android phone (accessed via FMU Home Page)
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: No clue, Doc.
	1:01pm bigplanetnoise: Hey Uncle Michael!
	1:01pm bigplanetnoise: Howdy Really Lisa - and all HDers today!!!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: Bob!
	1:02pm bigplanetnoise: Sounding great!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Thank thee.
	1:03pm doctorjazz: This Golden Gate Jubilee Quarter outs wonderful! We don't need no stinking band!
	1:03pm chresti: Doc, I got it using the link in the drummer e-mail
	1:04pm dan: When is the Motown portion of the show coming?
	1:06pm Really Lisa: Oh hey there bigplanetnoise, we meet again on this super-stream :)
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: It's what it is, not what it's not.
	1:06pm Dominick: Good afternoon!
	1:12pm Dean: American officials sure were (and are) a bunch of passive-aggressive fucking babies, weren't (aren't) they?
	1:13pm Jeff Golick: I listened to this Baldwin via youtube recently.
	1:16pm johnk77: great work @um twitch is back also houston person is a cool guy and a total pro the 1 gig i did w/him
	1:16pm Jeff Golick: Baldwin is so freaking clear-sighted about America, it's astonishing. (To me, if not to him.)
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Dominick! Dean! john!
	1:17pm wendy del formaggio: I love listening to James Baldwin speak, for so many reasons. The message and the delivery are the main subject headings.
	1:18pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Chresti! (UMs email actually didn't work at all, the links didn't go anywhere. But the an email Doug sends out with all the day's shows did work).
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: hmmm...thanks, for the info, Doc
	1:19pm dan: I’m probably gonna get flak for this but I’m of the opinion that rap is an alternative for those that can’t sing or write music properly.
	1:20pm chresti: That is the one we get, from Doug@doc
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: that's fucking bullshit, dan you mean like that?
	1:23pm Dean: dan just needs to hear Cardi B. She'll set him straight.
	1:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: You mean like Punk, Dan? Or Garage?
	1:24pm doctorjazz: Ahh, UM also sends out his own emails separate from the full day one Doug sends.
	1:24pm Cheyenne: dan, rap may not be a form you understand as 'art' but that's the beauty of art - it never appeals to everyone! Rap is often a vehicle for AMAZING prose, so perhaps you can appreciate it from a literary standpoint.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Cheyenne!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Doc, the dual playlists today caught me out, I guess.
	1:32pm dan: Just my opinion, I’m entitled to them.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: No problem, UM, it's the listening that counts (and the show HAS been GREAT! Though I do miss your smiling punim in, of course).
	1:34pm wendy del formaggio: What if I claimed that those who sing only do so because they can’t rap, and those who write songs only do so because they can’t freestyle? Which one is the supreme expression of artistic merit? Trick question. Both.
	1:35pm StringOFperils: "Music properly" generally translates as western European music, the music that has become conventionally broken down into western scales and tonalities, as developed, notated, and made into systems, by (almost exclusively) white Europeans. Which is a minority in the world.
	1:35pm dan: @Cheyenne Prose maybe, musically no
	1:36pm StringOFperils: "Music properly" is like staring at your navel, and denying that there's anything there when (if) you look up.
	1:37pm still b/p: Interesting context and application and timing for presenting such wide presumption and narrow regard AND then also choosing the term "entitled."
	1:37pm dan: @Hopey I’m not even that big a punk fan
	1:38pm unpopularfred: Once again, well put Uncle Michael
	🛒 1:38pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Whoa. Kick ass Uncle Michale.
	1:38pm Otis Fodder: Dan, totally get your opinion, but it's really the same across genres... loads of folks can't read/write music and in Hip Hop, many producers do. In Rap or Rock or Square Dance Calling, the voice is the instrument and quite often, learning to read/write music flows over to the musicians in the band or within a hip hop structure. Loads of hip hop producers can read/write music too, check out Adrian Younge (and associated projects, really fantastic). Loads to discover out there. Cheers!
	1:39pm doctorjazz: I don't agree with the "rap is artless" view, though I used to worry that it might cause less folks to work hard mastering instruments. But, hip hop has been around since 1980 or so...i haven't noted any shortage of musicians...
	1:39pm Cheyenne: dan, if you don't like Rap or Punk you will really not like my set, (though keep an open mind and you may find something you can appreciate). Haha.
	1:39pm Rich in Washington: UM! YES!
	1:40pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Right on, UM. Right fucking on.
	1:40pm Otis Fodder: ...all those classic Sugar Hill hits replaying Good Time gems in the studio with cats reading and writing or bless the hears (or ears) that can pick up anything and have perfect pitch.
	1:40pm Otis Fodder: RICH!
	1:41pm Dean: Not so fast, SOFp. There's nothing wrong with contriving a system of musical production and then assessing whether or not a particular instance of it is "properly" executed. See, e.g., sonata form or Schoenberg's instructions for 12-tone serial composition. Half the fun, then, of listening to works that adopt a system is in fact in recognizing the degree to which the composer "properly" complies with it.
	1:41pm Rich in Washington: OTIS!
	1:42pm joe: 'ello folks
	1:42pm burke: I would never be a loyal listener to a show that didn't sometimes grate or push me out of my comfort zone. I love to be reminded of how limited "my" musical taste is.
	1:43pm Otis Fodder: well, leggo my 'ello joe. Hi! Hi Cheyenne too!! Looking forward to your segment today.
	1:43pm dan: Merry Clayton, an underrated talent
	1:44pm Martinibomb: I hate the whole rap isn't music.. so old. music is composed of melody, harmony and rhythm. rap/hip hop is more heavily rhythm based.. that's all they even talk about is making beats etc.. the flow of the lyrics. That all rhythm/time which is HUGE HUGE thing for music U could almost argue that rappers can make music without harmony/melody but u can't make music without rhythm. Time is maybe the key ingredient.
	1:45pm joe: Almost every style of music was considered by a subset to "not be real music" when it came to be.
	1:45pm Rich in Washington: We'll put, burke! One of the things I love about this show is both the variety and breadth of the music presented and also the lengths at which Uncle Michael goes to tell us about its inclusion, context, history, etc.
	1:45pm Cheyenne: Also, I'm gonna go ahead and be 'that guy' (tho I'm a gal) - the very notion of 'proper' music being equivalent to white/european music notation/structure/etc is a way of dismissing every other type of music and by extension normalizes white supremacy. Dan, I'm gonna guess you're white (or pass as white) and were raised in a cultural environment that normalized white culture as 'standard,' 'normal,' etc. It's ok to acknowledge that you don't like something, but think critically about your biases - even when it comes to taste in music. Peace!
	1:46pm Dean: Cage had an even more expansive conception of music. My personal prejudice, however, is that if it doesn't involve a huge choir bellowing out from the tabernacle, it ain't music.
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: "rap isn't music" is racist
	1:49pm dan: @Cheyenne I’m very much into blues, jazz, and gospel. I just don’t like rap.
	1:49pm chresti: As Marcel M would say "What was music?"
	1:50pm StringOFperils: There's nothing wrong with anything Dean. That's my point. Where the fuck do people think "proper music" comes from in the first place? It comes from folk musics. The vocal line of an ancient Greek ode. The line of the voice in Plainsong. The voice that joins the wind. Rap utilizes the voice, and it initially concentrates more on one aspect of "proper" music more than others: rhythm. Like earlier forms, it sings the news, it carries the culture, the history, the now. It represents a contemporary response to the world that has direct kinship to earlier historic forms that had a similar function. As such, it has everything to do with music, that first music, upon which much later "proper music" is based.
	1:50pm Dean: Marcel M could talk?
	1:51pm Otis Fodder: Ha, now I'm thinking of the album, "The Best Of Marcel Marceao". haaaaa.
	1:51pm Dean: I'm not sure I subscribe to so purely genetic a theory of music is, I guess, my point. Not all of it is a nod to the ur-song.
	1:53pm chresti: Haha, DJ Marcel M:www.wfmu.org...
	1:55pm Otis Fodder: UM - Thanks for Merry Clayton, killing myself now for purging her Gimme Shelter album on a move years ago. Going to revisit it now, yesss!
	1:55pm still b/p: Marceau shoulda done an album in which he hit and nailed the top Plant and Daltrey screams.
	1:55pm chresti: Oooh, time to put on the dancing shoes.. Thanks UM!
	1:56pm rw: Good morning! Digging.
	1:56pm Otis Fodder: Hey Hey Cheyenne!
	1:56pm Dean: Marcel Marceau would have done a multi-media version of "In a Glass House."
	1:57pm chresti: Wups, not yet, another hour before dancing time.
	1:57pm Doug Schulkind: Come back, Cheyenne! We love and miss you!
	1:59pm chresti: Hi Cheyenne!
	2:00pm doctorjazz: Hey, Cheyenne!
	2:01pm Cheyenne: Hi everyone!!!!!!
	2:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Confound it! I was away for a bit. I missed Cheyenne? Drat!
	🛒 2:02pm Franco Twinkie: I'm not fatigued, I just can't run from cops anymore.
	2:02pm joe: @ken nope she just started
	2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: OK, cool. Hey, Cheyenne and the mighty pangolin!
	🛒 2:05pm listener 126464: Killer Mike is the man
	2:05pm joe: Killer Mike is just one big beautiful needed trigger.
	2:05pm Cheyenne: There are SO MANY WAYS to stay involved! Writing letters, signing petitions, calling elected officials, making art, donating to bail funds, working in journalism, coding websites and apps that help legal observers and community services. Choose a lane and get in it! <3
	🛒 2:07pm WR: dan, fully valid to not like or enjoy a type of entertainment, human expression. That is opinion. Yes each person should be allowed their personal preferences and to state them. Saying something is not music or the expression is not properly made is not valid. Plus context. Some days Bee Gees totally make me retch. And it can be hard to always check one self from making personal reaction or opinion into a charge against the expression's validity. I personally draw the line and in some cases will call out homophobic or sexist or drug gang glorification.
	2:08pm Cheyenne: If you wanna help bail out some friends in Kentucky who were arrested today go to bailproject.org and pitch in. Protest & social justice in the time of coronavirus is totally doable. Choose your risk level and do what you can. We all gotta push!
	🛒 2:08pm WR: PUSH!
	2:09pm Dean: Janelle is singing about senseless violins.
	2:13pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @WR and would you go listen to a dj doing a Bee Gees set and tell him it SUX play some real music? (probably not)
	2:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: There is also the Bandcamp fund-raiser happening until midnight PDT - daily.bandcamp.com...
	2:15pm burke: Boots!
	2:15pm Otis Fodder: Coup from Oaktown, nice pick!!
	2:17pm barrett785: It's a coup! Kill My Landlord! UM4PREZ!
	🛒 2:22pm listener 126464: Boots is involved with something that just came out i think
	🛒 2:22pm Franco Twinkie: I was hit by a cop in NYC for the transgression of falling asleep at the library.
	2:22pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Busy working, but the Coup is so damn good. If you haven't seen it, you should check out Sorry to Bother You, which Boots Riley wrote and directed.
	2:24pm The Oscar: Also, the track "Pimps" by the Coup, from 1994, has an INCREDIBLE twist in the third verse which I would not dream of spoiling.
	2:26pm Otis Fodder: Ride that genre wave!
	🛒 2:27pm listener 126464: doesn't make it alright?
	🛒 2:29pm WR: I've read so many high praise articles/ interviews in the last couple of years regarding Janelle Monáe that l've feared hearing that recent release. Feared that I would lose trust in the sources of the hype. The track you played is enough to want me to hear more.
	2:30pm Hopey Sockmonkey: It's been great to hear so much Two-Tone in the last weeks.
	2:31pm joe: I was lucky enough to see Janelle Monae some years ago open for No Doubt she has an amazing live presence too. That was like 10 years ago and she was amazing then I can only imagine with that decade under her belt how much more amazing she is.
	2:32pm wendy del formaggio: YES! This Dead Kennedys song has gone through my head so often lately. Well, forever, really.
	2:32pm joe: Nazi punks was one of the songs on my long list for Music From Shut Ins
	2:34pm Cheyenne: Right on, Joe & Wendy! Nazi punks SHOULD fuck off, but they keep joining police forces instead
	2:34pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The Death documentary was very good I need to watch it again.
	2:35pm Cheyenne: Disarm, Defund, Demilitarize. Say it with me, friends!
	🛒 2:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Highlight on my Monday karaoke fun this week was "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!"
	2:36pm wendy del formaggio: Everything Cheyenne said!
	2:36pm Cheyenne: Wage Peace everyday!
	🛒 2:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Right on!
	🛒 2:37pm WR: Hope @2:13, personally I avoid conflict, so I wouldn't do that. But to your point, it would be valid to say, we wanna hear something else, not that Bee Gee disco phase songs are not real music like their early lovely ballads.
	2:38pm Otis Fodder: Dis the arms, def to defund and dem socialists milatarize. Mic drop.
	2:39pm joe: Also please if you are someone who supports organized labor do not let the police unions fool you into believing that pointing out that they are one of the biggest perpetrators of the police racism problem means that you are against labor. The people who are being killed and destroyed have more in common with you then the over militarized under trained thin blue line.
	2:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @WR I'm a fan of both periods, really ;)
	2:40pm βrian: When Scott Walker moved to kill the unions in Wisconsin, he made an exception for police unions, naturally.
	2:41pm barrett785: WR - CONFLICT is like top 5 anarchobritwave imho.
	2:42pm Hopey Sockmonkey: @WR But to be clear, my sarcasm wasn't directed at you. I think that person has wisely left.
	2:45pm Dean: When I met our beloved host, both he and I were wearing that particular WFMU t-shirt. We had not coordinated.
	2:45pm wendy del formaggio: What joe said at 2:39. TOTALLY. One of the historic functions of the police has been to supress worker organizing and protest, and that continues today. If you look at Jacobin and Current Affairs online magazines you can read a lot about it.
	2:46pm βrian: @Dean: "Matchy, matchy!"
	2:47pm Dean: We must be sartorial soul mates.
	🛒 2:50pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Enjoying this program and that set and discussion, thank you Cheyenne and Uncle Michael!
	2:50pm Dean: In SoCal by '81 the relatively few number of great OC punk bands were completely overshadowed by the dumbshit skinhead scenesters. It was all so different from three or four years before.
	2:50pm joe: @wendy I feel that is were much of the major attack has to start. They are the essential "secret socity" fraternity like boys club that are doing everything in their power to not have their ball taken away from them. They have a direct mental connection to the early NYC Tammany Hall were they were more of private military then a organization to serve public
	2:50pm Dean: geez, "number of"...who's the dumbshit?
