	🛒 12:18pm Franco Twinkie: I had a Zenith transistor I would take to bed every night to listen to Jimmy Rabbit on KRLA. One night in the Spring of 1969 he played Mona by The Quicksilver Messenger Service. I could not sleep after that. I had to get up, drink some milk and stare out the window.

	12:27pm WLSClark: This song Payola could have been a big hit---if released 10 years earlier. ;)
	12:28pm northguineahills: So, UM is becoming Jeff Conklin this afternoon?

	12:49pm Martinibomb: Damn internet! Why does it always have to come back on just in time.
	12:50pm sinner: Hallelu-jah-jah!
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: sinner!
	12:51pm WLSClark: As our long time Lincoln hillbilly bluegrass announcer says "Sandbag your radios."
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Henry, I heard the autoharp in my ear monitors.
	12:51pm Webhamster Henry: The Drummer Stream is a Radio Station that is never on the air.
	12:52pm Webhamster Henry: @UM I'll have to crank up the archives.

	1:00pm WLSClark: Unless someone tells me about a show on it, I don't know that WFMU exists either.
	1:00pm dan: The hell with the FCC
	1:01pm spodiodi: and to hell with the weasels
	1:01pm WLSClark: 3rd class licenses. Buy them in the back of Rolling Stone mag.
	1:01pm Webhamster Henry: NBC chimes: My go-to major sixth hint.
	1:01pm Dean: I once saw Cary Grant at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. He was a member of the board.
	1:03pm johnk77: the nbc chimes were rented from carroll music starting in 1945
	1:03pm Mr. Fine Wine: Unc.
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: john! MFW!
	1:04pm dan: @Dean Was Jennifer Jones there? She was Mrs. Norton Simon.
	🛒 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: William James "Count" Basie (/ˈbeɪsi/; August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984
	1:04pm northguineahills: What, no dj announcements from XED from Reyonosa, Tamaulipas, MX?
	1:06pm Dean: No, she wasn't, @dan. But a buddy of mine was Ms. Jones' broker.
	1:06pm Hubig Pie: The William-Penn is a fine place to stay, the rooms ain't got no windows, you can sleep all day
	🛒 1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is way kewl.
	1:09pm dan: @Dean My grandpa used to spot celebrities in Manhattan. He saw Richard Dreyfuss in an elevator at his office the week after he won the Oscar. He ran across the street to talk to Reggie Jackson. I was with him when he saw Craig T. Nelson and yelled out "Hey Coach".
	1:11pm dan: Hey UM, you bringing up "Ball Of Fire" on last week's show made me think of the mobster character played by Dan Duryea funnily called "Duke Pastrami.
	1:12pm Funky16Corners: Louis!
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Maybe he was meant to be Romanian.
	1:13pm Listening Out There: Louis Prima is timely for me. I finally watched Jungle Book, which I'd never seen as a kid. Prima's in the film's music....
	1:13pm sinner: (I think UM is peaking off the Cubs)
	🛒 1:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1937 ! Same year as Robert Johnson's 2nd session..Louis hung in there...
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: LOT! Sinner, I'm tipping my pitches.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Clark, I'm working digitally, today...but that varies. 12", 7", 10" shellac...never the little silver ones.
	1:16pm Dean: @dan The parents of my best friend in high school were theater educators. In 1984 I attended Olympic Arts Festival events in LA, mostly shows at UCLA, with my friend's dad. Before one in Royce Hall he glimpsed Peter Falk in the audience. He had purchased one of Falk's paintings years before, and he used that as an opportunity to approach him and introduce me. Later he took me backstage to meet the lead in one of the shows, an Italian actor with Piccolo Teatro di Milano, of whom my buddy's dad had a photograph in his wallet from a very early production of the same PTdM show. Met him, too. We also saw Jon Voigt strolling across campus.
	1:16pm Lane Gray: Ii frequently confuse Sol with Ellsworth Cozzens
	1:17pm chresti: I think Cary Grant was also on the board of Hollywood Park, at some time?
	1:17pm dan: @Dean Peter Falk, they don't make 'em like that anymore.
	1:18pm WLSClark: I know he's on the Hollywood walk of fame!! ;)
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	1:19pm dan: RIP Hal Singer.
	1:19pm Lane Gray: I'm chagrined to have slept through the hillbilly set. But I know a lot of those.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Oh no! Hal Singer died?
	1:22pm Funky16Corners: Mama! It’s Jolie!
	1:22pm Dean: Yeah, Falk was sui generis. I have a hard time discerning thespian skills on film--it's usually just mugging for the camera--but it's clear even to me, and never having seen him tread the boards, that Falk knew how to act. I said hi to Mickey Rooney at Santa Anita. My paternal grandfather owned racing horses. Somewhere I have a set of jockey's silks. Wore them once to school for Halloween, probably fourth grade?
	1:22pm WLSClark: Since this is radio themed and you are playing lots of OLD stuff, FM got its' start in the early 40's mostly, but the band was from 42 to 50 MHZ. Receivers were built and sold, but in 1945 the band was changed to 88 to 108 and the old radios were obsolete. That's a RADIO RIPOFF fer sure.
	1:23pm dan: @UM https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2020/08/21/jazz-saxophonist-hal-singer-dies-at-100.html He died on Tuesday.
	1:23pm Webhamster Henry: AKA "-ly Ballou"
	1:23pm Stevel: Bob and Tom, all day, every day.
	1:24pm Webhamster Henry: For your reading pleasure during this show: www.wfmu.org...
	1:24pm northguineahills: we need a Chappell Recs /David Chappelle mashup...
	1:25pm WLSClark: I used to have a bunch of 7 " reels of Bob & ray shows from 70's, but sold all but one decades ago.
	1:27pm WLSClark: WH, yes, good info on FM there!
	1:27pm burke: All my favorite recordings seem to have been made before the deaths of the musicians involved
	1:28pm Dean: All of my favorite JS Bach recordings were made post-mortem.
	1:30pm WLSClark: Uncle, you're not in kansas anymore. Oh yeah, YOU ARE!!
	1:31pm Dean: My only gripe is that four hours devoted to the Dead is parsimonious, just a tease.
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: Have you carbo-loaded, @UM.
	1:32pm WLSClark: My touchtone would only play Sugarloaf.
	1:33pm WLSClark: The Big 89: may it live forever.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	1:33pm dan: I think my days of possibly seeing The Rolling Stones in concert are over. Even when this shutdown ends and they go back on tour, I'm not paying the kind of money that they charge per ticket. :(
	1:33pm spodiodi: i'm glad i saw the dead once
	1:33pm Stevel: Holding on for WHB "Dial 71. Kansas City Weatherrrrrrrr"
	1:34pm WLSClark: Stevel: Great jingle. Johnny Dolan....
	🛒 1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the boogiecheck is in the mail...
	1:35pm spodiodi: <3 Jack Burton
	1:35pm dan: 1975, a simpler time. No mandated shutdowns, no social media etc...
	1:36pm WLSClark: The LAST Contest! BONG!
	1:36pm Funky16Corners: A Monza!?!?
	1:36pm spodiodi: those lil Monzas would haul (with the larger engine options)
	1:36pm dan: Hell yeah, Doobie Brothers.
	1:37pm Power Papi: It's a Mmmmmonza...by Chevrolet! Am i the only one who remembers that commercial?
	1:37pm WLSClark: Better prizes than Bandstand gave on rate a Record
	1:37pm spodiodi: or Dance Fever gave to anyone
	1:37pm WLSClark: Jeff Lynne making his best AM sounding transistor voice.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Papi!
	1:37pm Jeff Golick: The lady on the grassy knoll loves her Monza: commons.wikimedia.org...
	1:40pm spodiodi: smart lady
	1:41pm dan: How did we go from musical arrangements and lyrics of such high intellect to ghetto trash like Cardi B's "WAP"?
	1:42pm StringOFperils: Stackridge 3> 3> 3>
	1:42pm Dean: I'm sorry, but I love Cardi B.
	1:43pm spodiodi: $tring
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: dan, I'm not having phrases like "ghetto trash" here. You get me?
	1:47pm dan: @UM Sorry. I forgot where I was for a second.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: That's bullshit. And this is your last free pass.
	🛒 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Myself I got a hankerin' for more of those N'Orleans bordello Jazzes...but thats just me...
	1:52pm Listening Out There: Droysen plain rocks.
	1:53pm Michael 98145: I have given up fighting IMPACT as a verb
	1:53pm northguineahills: Hey, I love that Wings album!
	1:54pm WLSClark: Back to the Egg: Why I returned to the 45 womb.
	1:55pm Listening Out There: General sentiment on "impactful"? That's a special word....
	1:55pm WLSClark: CFL or WLS? Why choose? Both great!
	1:57pm WLSClark: I have this 45!!! Great. How many of these type did he do???
	1:58pm dan: Makes me hungry for blintzes.
	1:58pm burke: Seven dollars for the ringworm benefit...I think we've all been there :-)
	1:59pm Funky16Corners: Oh shit, a Stage Deli shout-out!!
	1:59pm Dean: OED on "impact" as a verb: early instance from 1601. But, yeah, I hate it, too. These days, though, I have tired mightily of the use of "pivot" to mean adjust or change direction.
	1:59pm Webhamster Henry: The Old Philosopher's act didn't change for decades, but it could be pretty funny!
	1:59pm Michael 98145: @LOT, arrrgghhh
	1:59pm WLSClark: 1 hour left and wondering if you will kill 2 birds with one stone. Hudson & landry "Hinky Dinky Parlez vous"???
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: probably not, Clark!
	2:06pm northguineahills: brain explodes African cumbia!???!!! (w/ a touch of dub)
	2:06pm Michael 98145: On "Hawaii Bonsaï " no less
	2:07pm Mr. Fine Wine: Ha, I thought of this one earlier and now you're playing it! (Eddie King and May B. Mae)
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: I hoped you'd hear that, ngh.
	2:07pm Michael 98145: @ngh, did you fix your brakes, i hope?
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: In your wheelhouse, MFW.
	2:07pm Artie: @Dean: At least they haven't ruined "heel turn" yet.
	2:09pm Mr. Fine Wine: Whenever I hear the word "wheelhouse" I think of a Hot Wheels accessory I had as a wee lad...the track fed into and out of it and it had battery-fueled foam-covered wheels that would superspeed your car as it passed through!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	2:09pm Michael 98145: we are all stake holders in this impactful, resilient station !
	2:09pm northguineahills: @Michael: I have an appointment in 30 minutes. It's only 5km away, so I can walk back to the hotel (needs to check weather).
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Supercharger Sprint Set! I had those!
	2:09pm Michael 98145: good
	🛒 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Impactful Wheelhouse Funtime Hour ! ...yeah I say Impactful...
	2:16pm Stanley: Uncle!
	2:17pm northguineahills: ok, I'm off, Hopefully will be back to catch some of the 'Dead Can Dance" party. Whoops, I think I got the title wrong... ;)
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: close enough!
	2:18pm Dean: Video injured the radio star. The Internet finished the job.
	2:18pm Michael 98145: XTC! now there was a fun live band.
	2:19pm Stanley: Dean - and here we are.
	2:20pm Uncle Radio Star: hey now
	2:21pm Dean: For that matter, moving type killed the scriptorium star.
	🛒 2:22pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Old Philosopher!
	2:24pm People Like Us: I'm here too
	2:25pm spodiodi: the impact of a supercharged wheelhouse should not be underestimated
	2:25pm Dean: Sorry, @Artie, it appears they have ruined "heel turn," which first appeared in the late 19th C., but beginning in 1990 "professional" wrestling adopted it: "An instance of a wrestler who has been cast as a hero undergoing a character shift and adopting the persona of a villain, typically in a sudden, shocking move. Later, in extended use: any instance of a sudden shift from hero to villain." Or was that your point?
	2:25pm Dean: Batteries for Hot Wheels?! Ha, ha, ha, oh, my, you young spoiled kids!
	2:26pm Michael 98145: Matchbox, yes
	2:26pm Mr. Fine Wine: I think I may have had one Matchbox car but like a zillion Hot Wheels. You're welcome.
	2:26pm spodiodi: i used to run hot wheels orange track down three floors of turning steps. i never had such a fancy carrier. i had a generic matchbox car carrier (but it held tons of cars)
	2:27pm listener Rey: I woulda inserted a loop de loop piece before the first bank
	2:28pm Dean: Matchbox, the toy trademark, rendered confusing and weird my experience of the Beatles' cover of the Carl Perkins tune.
	2:28pm spodiodi: The Replacements make every day a better day
	2:28pm Lizardner Dave 2: The term "heel" was used in professional wrestling long before 1990. And "Heel Turn 2" by the Mountain Goats is a great song. I recommend the version on archive.org from 9-13-18 at the Boulder Theater.
	2:30pm spodiodi: til the last dink, um
	🛒 2:30pm WR: Nice one spodiodi.
	2:31pm Dean: I think that's a fair example of eponymy, title for title.
	2:31pm spodiodi: WR! Spazz!
	2:32pm People Like Us: ha ha
	2:32pm dan: Never heard of King Coleman, what kind of music does he do?
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: PLU!
	2:33pm Dean: OED notes an occurrence from 1958 of "heel" in reference to a villainous wrestler.
	2:33pm Listening Out There: It's Vicki. :) Party starts now...
	2:33pm spodiodi: LOLOL great station ID
	2:33pm Artie: I don't mind the wrestling usage. Different take, a play on some good slang, and don't have to hear it daily coming out of the pie holes of ninnies.
	2:34pm KWilde: Best station ID ever!
	2:34pm otto: outstanding
	2:34pm spodiodi: that was so so great
	2:34pm dan: How can I forget about this Al Stewart classic.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Rey! KWilde!
	2:34pm Dean: Nice. Been listening to assorted Al Stewart videos of live shows.
	2:34pm Funky16Corners: That King Coleman bit was amazing.
	2:35pm Michael 98145: jargonistas are usually quite proud of their pie holes
	🛒 2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...earned that one...
	2:36pm dan: Phil Kenzie is a saxophonist that doesn't get enough attention. His work with Al Stewart is amazing.
	2:36pm listener Rey: that King Coleman spot reminded me of Ernie K Doe
	2:36pm Michael 98145: The sound of Al's voice sure brings back memories
	2:36pm spodiodi: they navigate each challenge
	2:37pm sinner: Anyone have an idea why these Al Stewart records have a kind of muffled--but pleasing--production sheen / sound to them?
	🛒 2:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yeah Al Stewart was played a lot during my college days
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: pomade
	2:38pm sinner: Did Pultec make the Pomades??
	2:38pm dan: @Michael98145 Al Stewart's voice is like a cross between George Harrison and David Bowie.
	2:38pm spodiodi: i think UM has it
	2:40pm Dean: Pie-hole is crazy! Earliest mention in OED, 1737, reads, "A hole made in cloth or leather for the passage of a lace or cord; an eyelet." This is due to their looking like the holes in a pie crust from which steam escapes. Steven King picked it up in 1983, "Then shut your pie-hole." I've always taken that to refer to the hole in which one inserts pie, a nice little inversion of the original meaning! I'm not confident that OED always or even deliberately notes the earliest known occurrences.
	2:41pm spodiodi: same here, Dean. thanks for the education
	2:41pm spodiodi: that kind of thing will surely go a long way down at the cracker factory
	2:41pm spodiodi: (where i'm kind of a big deal)
	2:42pm burke: I keep getting told to set my radio to things like "rocknroll" and "Jesus" but my dial only has numbers on it
	2:42pm Dean: Alan Parson produced at least a couple Al Stewart albums, including the one on which "Song on the Radio" appeared.
	2:42pm Dean: Parsons^
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: your radio is broken, burke
	2:46pm StringOFperils: The mighty Q !
	2:47pm sinner: UM: Do you know the gospel great Bessie Griffin's cover of Heaven's Radio?
	2:48pm Really Lisa: Crowdsource request: All these radio in the title tunes have me stuck trying to remember a tune from the UK.. I think early 90s, Ska band fronted by female singer. I could swear 'radio' was in the title. Anyone know what I'm drawing a blank on??
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: nope!
	2:48pm Dean: "On My Radio," The Selecter?
	2:49pm Really Lisa: Dean!!! Yesss, thanks :)
	2:49pm Dean: But guess what, @Really Lisa? 1979. Having fun or not, time flies.
	2:50pm Jeff Golick: The rare triple unk.

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 21, 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.

	1:16pm Uncle Michael: Clark, I'm working digitally, today...but that varies. 12", 7", 10" shellac...never the little silver ones.
	1:16pm Dean: @dan The parents of my best friend in high school were theater educators. In 1984 I attended Olympic Arts Festival events in LA, mostly shows at UCLA, with my friend's dad. Before one in Royce Hall he glimpsed Peter Falk in the audience. He had purchased one of Falk's paintings years before, and he used that as an opportunity to approach him and introduce me. Later he took me backstage to meet the lead in one of the shows, an Italian actor with Piccolo Teatro di Milano, of whom my buddy's dad had a photograph in his wallet from a very early production of the same PTdM show. Met him, too. We also saw Jon Voigt strolling across campus.
	1:16pm Lane Gray: Ii frequently confuse Sol with Ellsworth Cozzens
	1:17pm chresti: I think Cary Grant was also on the board of Hollywood Park, at some time?
	1:17pm dan: @Dean Peter Falk, they don't make 'em like that anymore.
	1:18pm WLSClark: I know he's on the Hollywood walk of fame!! ;)
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Lane!
	1:19pm dan: RIP Hal Singer.
	1:19pm Lane Gray: I'm chagrined to have slept through the hillbilly set. But I know a lot of those.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Oh no! Hal Singer died?
	1:22pm Funky16Corners: Mama! It’s Jolie!
	1:22pm Dean: Yeah, Falk was sui generis. I have a hard time discerning thespian skills on film--it's usually just mugging for the camera--but it's clear even to me, and never having seen him tread the boards, that Falk knew how to act. I said hi to Mickey Rooney at Santa Anita. My paternal grandfather owned racing horses. Somewhere I have a set of jockey's silks. Wore them once to school for Halloween, probably fourth grade?
	1:22pm WLSClark: Since this is radio themed and you are playing lots of OLD stuff, FM got its' start in the early 40's mostly, but the band was from 42 to 50 MHZ. Receivers were built and sold, but in 1945 the band was changed to 88 to 108 and the old radios were obsolete. That's a RADIO RIPOFF fer sure.
	1:23pm dan: @UM https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2020/08/21/jazz-saxophonist-hal-singer-dies-at-100.html He died on Tuesday.
	1:23pm Webhamster Henry: AKA "-ly Ballou"
	1:23pm Stevel: Bob and Tom, all day, every day.
	1:24pm Webhamster Henry: For your reading pleasure during this show: www.wfmu.org...
	1:24pm northguineahills: we need a Chappell Recs /David Chappelle mashup...
	1:25pm WLSClark: I used to have a bunch of 7 " reels of Bob & ray shows from 70's, but sold all but one decades ago.
	1:27pm WLSClark: WH, yes, good info on FM there!
	1:27pm burke: All my favorite recordings seem to have been made before the deaths of the musicians involved
	1:28pm Dean: All of my favorite JS Bach recordings were made post-mortem.
	1:30pm WLSClark: Uncle, you're not in kansas anymore. Oh yeah, YOU ARE!!
	1:31pm Dean: My only gripe is that four hours devoted to the Dead is parsimonious, just a tease.
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: Have you carbo-loaded, @UM.
	1:32pm WLSClark: My touchtone would only play Sugarloaf.
	1:33pm WLSClark: The Big 89: may it live forever.
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	1:33pm dan: I think my days of possibly seeing The Rolling Stones in concert are over. Even when this shutdown ends and they go back on tour, I'm not paying the kind of money that they charge per ticket. :(
	1:33pm spodiodi: i'm glad i saw the dead once
	1:33pm Stevel: Holding on for WHB "Dial 71. Kansas City Weatherrrrrrrr"
	1:34pm WLSClark: Stevel: Great jingle. Johnny Dolan....
	🛒 1:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the boogiecheck is in the mail...
	1:35pm spodiodi: <3 Jack Burton
	1:35pm dan: 1975, a simpler time. No mandated shutdowns, no social media etc...
	1:36pm WLSClark: The LAST Contest! BONG!
	1:36pm Funky16Corners: A Monza!?!?
	1:36pm spodiodi: those lil Monzas would haul (with the larger engine options)
	1:36pm dan: Hell yeah, Doobie Brothers.
	1:37pm Power Papi: It's a Mmmmmonza...by Chevrolet! Am i the only one who remembers that commercial?
	1:37pm WLSClark: Better prizes than Bandstand gave on rate a Record
	1:37pm spodiodi: or Dance Fever gave to anyone
	1:37pm WLSClark: Jeff Lynne making his best AM sounding transistor voice.
	1:37pm Uncle Michael: Papi!
	1:37pm Jeff Golick: The lady on the grassy knoll loves her Monza: commons.wikimedia.org...
	1:40pm spodiodi: smart lady
	1:41pm dan: How did we go from musical arrangements and lyrics of such high intellect to ghetto trash like Cardi B's "WAP"?
	1:42pm StringOFperils: Stackridge 3> 3> 3>
	1:42pm Dean: I'm sorry, but I love Cardi B.
	1:43pm spodiodi: $tring
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: dan, I'm not having phrases like "ghetto trash" here. You get me?
	1:47pm dan: @UM Sorry. I forgot where I was for a second.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: That's bullshit. And this is your last free pass.
	🛒 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Myself I got a hankerin' for more of those N'Orleans bordello Jazzes...but thats just me...
	1:52pm Listening Out There: Droysen plain rocks.
	1:53pm Michael 98145: I have given up fighting IMPACT as a verb
	1:53pm northguineahills: Hey, I love that Wings album!
	1:54pm WLSClark: Back to the Egg: Why I returned to the 45 womb.
	1:55pm Listening Out There: General sentiment on "impactful"? That's a special word....
	1:55pm WLSClark: CFL or WLS? Why choose? Both great!
	1:57pm WLSClark: I have this 45!!! Great. How many of these type did he do???
	1:58pm dan: Makes me hungry for blintzes.
	1:58pm burke: Seven dollars for the ringworm benefit...I think we've all been there :-)
	1:59pm Funky16Corners: Oh shit, a Stage Deli shout-out!!
	1:59pm Dean: OED on "impact" as a verb: early instance from 1601. But, yeah, I hate it, too. These days, though, I have tired mightily of the use of "pivot" to mean adjust or change direction.
	1:59pm Webhamster Henry: The Old Philosopher's act didn't change for decades, but it could be pretty funny!
	1:59pm Michael 98145: @LOT, arrrgghhh
	1:59pm WLSClark: 1 hour left and wondering if you will kill 2 birds with one stone. Hudson & landry "Hinky Dinky Parlez vous"???
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: probably not, Clark!
	2:06pm northguineahills: brain explodes African cumbia!???!!! (w/ a touch of dub)
	2:06pm Michael 98145: On "Hawaii Bonsaï " no less
	2:07pm Mr. Fine Wine: Ha, I thought of this one earlier and now you're playing it! (Eddie King and May B. Mae)
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: I hoped you'd hear that, ngh.
	2:07pm Michael 98145: @ngh, did you fix your brakes, i hope?
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: In your wheelhouse, MFW.
	2:07pm Artie: @Dean: At least they haven't ruined "heel turn" yet.
	2:09pm Mr. Fine Wine: Whenever I hear the word "wheelhouse" I think of a Hot Wheels accessory I had as a wee lad...the track fed into and out of it and it had battery-fueled foam-covered wheels that would superspeed your car as it passed through!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Artie!
	2:09pm Michael 98145: we are all stake holders in this impactful, resilient station !
	2:09pm northguineahills: @Michael: I have an appointment in 30 minutes. It's only 5km away, so I can walk back to the hotel (needs to check weather).
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Supercharger Sprint Set! I had those!
	2:09pm Michael 98145: good
	🛒 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Impactful Wheelhouse Funtime Hour ! ...yeah I say Impactful...
	2:16pm Stanley: Uncle!
	2:17pm northguineahills: ok, I'm off, Hopefully will be back to catch some of the 'Dead Can Dance" party. Whoops, I think I got the title wrong... ;)
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: Stanley!
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: close enough!
	2:18pm Dean: Video injured the radio star. The Internet finished the job.
	2:18pm Michael 98145: XTC! now there was a fun live band.
	2:19pm Stanley: Dean - and here we are.
	2:20pm Uncle Radio Star: hey now
	2:21pm Dean: For that matter, moving type killed the scriptorium star.
	🛒 2:22pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Old Philosopher!
	2:24pm People Like Us: I'm here too
	2:25pm spodiodi: the impact of a supercharged wheelhouse should not be underestimated
	2:25pm Dean: Sorry, @Artie, it appears they have ruined "heel turn," which first appeared in the late 19th C., but beginning in 1990 "professional" wrestling adopted it: "An instance of a wrestler who has been cast as a hero undergoing a character shift and adopting the persona of a villain, typically in a sudden, shocking move. Later, in extended use: any instance of a sudden shift from hero to villain." Or was that your point?
	2:25pm Dean: Batteries for Hot Wheels?! Ha, ha, ha, oh, my, you young spoiled kids!
	2:26pm Michael 98145: Matchbox, yes
	2:26pm Mr. Fine Wine: I think I may have had one Matchbox car but like a zillion Hot Wheels. You're welcome.
	2:26pm spodiodi: i used to run hot wheels orange track down three floors of turning steps. i never had such a fancy carrier. i had a generic matchbox car carrier (but it held tons of cars)
	2:27pm listener Rey: I woulda inserted a loop de loop piece before the first bank
	2:28pm Dean: Matchbox, the toy trademark, rendered confusing and weird my experience of the Beatles' cover of the Carl Perkins tune.
	2:28pm spodiodi: The Replacements make every day a better day
	2:28pm Lizardner Dave 2: The term "heel" was used in professional wrestling long before 1990. And "Heel Turn 2" by the Mountain Goats is a great song. I recommend the version on archive.org from 9-13-18 at the Boulder Theater.
	2:30pm spodiodi: til the last dink, um
	🛒 2:30pm WR: Nice one spodiodi.
	2:31pm Dean: I think that's a fair example of eponymy, title for title.
	2:31pm spodiodi: WR! Spazz!
	2:32pm People Like Us: ha ha
	2:32pm dan: Never heard of King Coleman, what kind of music does he do?
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: PLU!
	2:33pm Dean: OED notes an occurrence from 1958 of "heel" in reference to a villainous wrestler.
	2:33pm Listening Out There: It's Vicki. :) Party starts now...
	2:33pm spodiodi: LOLOL great station ID
	2:33pm Artie: I don't mind the wrestling usage. Different take, a play on some good slang, and don't have to hear it daily coming out of the pie holes of ninnies.
	2:34pm KWilde: Best station ID ever!
	2:34pm otto: outstanding
	2:34pm spodiodi: that was so so great
	2:34pm dan: How can I forget about this Al Stewart classic.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Rey! KWilde!
	2:34pm Dean: Nice. Been listening to assorted Al Stewart videos of live shows.
	2:34pm Funky16Corners: That King Coleman bit was amazing.
	2:35pm Michael 98145: jargonistas are usually quite proud of their pie holes
	🛒 2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...earned that one...
	2:36pm dan: Phil Kenzie is a saxophonist that doesn't get enough attention. His work with Al Stewart is amazing.
	2:36pm listener Rey: that King Coleman spot reminded me of Ernie K Doe
	2:36pm Michael 98145: The sound of Al's voice sure brings back memories
	2:36pm spodiodi: they navigate each challenge
	2:37pm sinner: Anyone have an idea why these Al Stewart records have a kind of muffled--but pleasing--production sheen / sound to them?
	🛒 2:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Yeah Al Stewart was played a lot during my college days
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: pomade
	2:38pm sinner: Did Pultec make the Pomades??
	2:38pm dan: @Michael98145 Al Stewart's voice is like a cross between George Harrison and David Bowie.
	2:38pm spodiodi: i think UM has it
	2:40pm Dean: Pie-hole is crazy! Earliest mention in OED, 1737, reads, "A hole made in cloth or leather for the passage of a lace or cord; an eyelet." This is due to their looking like the holes in a pie crust from which steam escapes. Steven King picked it up in 1983, "Then shut your pie-hole." I've always taken that to refer to the hole in which one inserts pie, a nice little inversion of the original meaning! I'm not confident that OED always or even deliberately notes the earliest known occurrences.
	2:41pm spodiodi: same here, Dean. thanks for the education
	2:41pm spodiodi: that kind of thing will surely go a long way down at the cracker factory
	2:41pm spodiodi: (where i'm kind of a big deal)
	2:42pm burke: I keep getting told to set my radio to things like "rocknroll" and "Jesus" but my dial only has numbers on it
	2:42pm Dean: Alan Parson produced at least a couple Al Stewart albums, including the one on which "Song on the Radio" appeared.
	2:42pm Dean: Parsons^
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: your radio is broken, burke
	2:46pm StringOFperils: The mighty Q !
	2:47pm sinner: UM: Do you know the gospel great Bessie Griffin's cover of Heaven's Radio?
	2:48pm Really Lisa: Crowdsource request: All these radio in the title tunes have me stuck trying to remember a tune from the UK.. I think early 90s, Ska band fronted by female singer. I could swear 'radio' was in the title. Anyone know what I'm drawing a blank on??
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: nope!
	2:48pm Dean: "On My Radio," The Selecter?
	2:49pm Really Lisa: Dean!!! Yesss, thanks :)
	2:49pm Dean: But guess what, @Really Lisa? 1979. Having fun or not, time flies.
	2:50pm Jeff Golick: The rare triple unk.
	2:50pm Dean: Not exactly, @Jeff G. unk. was in fact the name of this Black Prince album.
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: you people are scaring me!
	2:51pm Really Lisa: Oh wow was I way off! Maybe for me it was getting airplay in the early 90? dunno, but ty.
	2:51pm Jeff Golick: You might say he put the unk in unk.
	2:51pm Really Lisa: UM, ohhh emmm g!
	2:52pm spodiodi: the unkfecta
	2:52pm Dean: I have it from a reliable source, @Really Lisa, that it's been played as recently as August 2020.
	2:52pm Michael 98145: Selecter!
	🛒 2:52pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I use the username "piemouth" a lot of places - it was a character in an old comic strip.
	2:52pm spodiodi: crowdsourcing: is there any challenge you can't navigate? kudos, Lisa, Dean, Unk
	2:52pm Dean: Trifectunk
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: This was NOT a request. I PLANNED this.
	2:53pm Really Lisa: :) Youz guys! You are aaalll right!
	2:53pm Really Lisa: UM, since the first set I was trying to remember! I shoulda been patient :)
	🛒 2:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Somebody playing Selecter again @ last !
	2:55pm WLSClark: Man, just spent an hour on phone and missed the whole hour! BUMMER!!!
	2:55pm spodiodi: i'm offended af, but thanks for the show anyway, Unky Dinky <3
	2:55pm Michael 98145: on the Internet, no one knows you're a node
	2:55pm Funky16Corners: Good one UM. I await the royal barge to the land of the Dead.
	2:56pm Dean: I'm an edge.
	2:56pm sinner: Encore! Stay on the Stream! Don't sign out! Stick it to the MAN!
	2:58pm spodiodi: "You knew I was a sinner" (don't listen to him! color in the lines!)
	2:58pm Lizardner Dave 2: OK, definitely NOT a Dead fan but I'm gonna give this a try.
	2:58pm Webhamster Henry: Well that was fun! I should have plugged it into my little FM transmitter and listened on a real radio.
	2:59pm sinner: 1955.
	2:59pm Dean: "would be would be" made me LOL
	3:00pm Dean: Sort of a subjunctive "Que Sera, Sera."
	3:00pm chresti: Yeah! Thanks UM!
	3:00pm Santos L. Halper: Great show UM! Now let's leave the parking lot and head in...and out
	🛒 3:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: imho - one needs a guide to filter for the good Dead for ya - & youre OK!
