	12:10pm doctorjazz: Some Steam break through?
	12:10pm TDK60: Does the Elf-Skeleton who persons the control booth at the station also monitor the alt. streams?
	12:11pm Listener Gregory: Heed God's warning! The stream will suffer if this Satan business continues. Repent!
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: I'm gonna restart the video box.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Yes...my ISP can go to hell.
	12:12pm Listener Robert: Decided to save the Twitch bandwidth for more worthy viewers and just stream the Radio Rethink, which right now is less predictable.
	12:12pm βrian: Prairie turnips in the stream again?
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Since the issue is at my end, those choices aren't meaningful.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Gregory! Brian!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: ugh
	12:15pm Listener Robert: Hmmm...the MP3 stream is "fun" too.
	12:15pm Irene Trudel: Merry Christmas, Michael! At least you have power today. I have several friends enduring that this morning. Drop-outs we can deal with!
	12:15pm Michael 98145: Holly jolly, everyone
	🛒 12:16pm WR: I'm getting latency at my end, too, or at least between wfmu & me. Maybe stay at home Xmas is breaking the internet.
	12:16pm Listener Robert: Uncle, we can find meaning in all sorts of tokens.
	🛒 12:16pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Good morning all! Santa brought me Hinky Dinky time!

	12:18pm Listener Gregory: This is exactly what Christmas with Satan sounds like. Believe me, I've been there!
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: I'm going to reboot my modem.
	12:19pm Irene Trudel: Your burning tree image reminds me that there was a big blast in Nashville's business district this morning. At least we're not having to deal with that! (Gina is safe, BTW.)

	🛒 12:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Goood Grief !
	12:19pm Listener Robert: Has anyone ever tried to modulate TCP-IP "raw"? Like maybe produce an audible buzz by keying the packets? It's said Jean Shepherd once went to Secaucus and tapped out a CQ at WOR's xmtr.
	12:19pm TDK60: Still here (but switched to the WKCR Bach fest for a few sec.)
	12:21pm Michael 98145: A "Landmark" theater burned to the ground yesterday in our locale

	12:36pm Uncle Michael: Stephanie! Steve!
	12:38pm Uncle Michael: It might even be futile to carry on today.

	12:40pm Hail, Satan: Go ahead. Greet me.
	🛒 12:40pm Alvy Singer: Happy Holidays Uncle Michael. Nonsense, you must carry on.

	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Satan! Alvy!
	12:41pm spodiodi: aloha, Uncle Michael, Hinks and Dinks!
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Sean! I'm initiating a remote reset of my modem at the ISP. I will be offline for a minute. Spodi!
	12:44pm spodiodi: fingers crossed \\//
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Back...mebbe.
	12:44pm Artie: Deck Five is live.
	12:45pm Michael 98145: Yes, @Irene T, sounds like someone decided to blow up the AT&T building there
	12:46pm Stevel: So joyful AND triumphant! Beep ba dip a doop a dorp.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: no change
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: The archive will be intact, for what it's worth.
	12:50pm doctorjazz: Sounding ok on this end so far...oops, spoke too soon.
	12:51pm chresti: Hi spodi! \\ //
	12:52pm doctorjazz: Still better than it was earlier.
	12:53pm Listener Gregory: I bought that Paul Revere album back in the day. God only knows why.
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: greetings Uncle M, elves, reigndeer
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	1:01pm doctorjazz: Wasn't The Hopeful 7 I Clock need a cover of Simon and Garfunkel (or was it the other way around)?
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: but did the hopeful do it before Simon & Garfunkle? and Why would ... i missed it but is it the same?
	1:02pm Alex In Illinois: I once got locked in a Zamboni garage
	1:03pm spodiodi: hi chresti! \\// hi cooelacanthØ!
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: Alex! Did you get out?
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi!
	🛒 1:06pm Brian in UK: You cookin' Uncle.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! Thank you.
	1:07pm Doug Schulkind: Just came in from shoveling. What'd I miss?!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: The same thing we all did. 20% of the show.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I've crossed my fingers and re-enabled the video. You may have to refresh the browser.
	1:13pm spodiodi: looking good!
	1:14pm Ira: I believe Simon and Garfunkle were first. The Hopefuls title is 6 o'clock news but a different announcer, reading the same copy says 7. The Hopefuls label I saw credits Paul Simon
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Ira.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: Thanks, @Ira!
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Hard-panned stereo. Man.
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: .... covering 7 o'clock news/silent night is like covering an interview, or a monty python skit. it makes no sense
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: (unless it's dramatically different. i missed it today and i've never heard it)
	1:20pm doctorjazz: It struck me as a very strange cover, Coel, pretty close to the original.
	1:21pm Little Danny: Hi Michael, hi y'all
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: This sounds like that Mashmakan song.
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: LD!
	🛒 1:21pm Brian in UK: Oh my favourite Jeff Lynne.
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: is it library music? that might explain it.
	1:22pm Listener Gregory: UM, I investigated the Paul Revere "featuring Mark Lindsay" situation. Apparently, Lindsay was a founding member of the group and co-wrote most of their songs. Only he and Revere stuck with the band through its heyday. So, maybe not surprising that he got special credit.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: I smell lawyers.
	1:23pm spodiodi: hi Little Danny! hi Brian in UK, doctorjazz, Ira, Doug Schulkind, Gregory, all
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: ugh. i hate that smell
	1:23pm Bas NL: Hi Uncle Michael! Hinky Dinky marathoners!
	1:23pm Little Danny: Spodi!
	1:23pm spodiodi: they taste even worse than they smell
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Bas! long time...
	1:24pm coelacanth∅: ewww
	1:24pm spodiodi: hi Bas!
	1:24pm Irene Trudel: Mark Lindsay was also quite the heartthrob back in the day. I have a number of 16 Magazines and Tiger Beats with him all over the cover.
	1:25pm Little Danny: Has your Twitch connection been pretty stable today, UM? Mine was lousy with buffering last night.
	1:25pm robtatet: Christmas lunch with Elvis
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: ...i kid though. i don't think lawyers are automatically bad. except corporate lawyers
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: My Twitch issues are always my internet issues. Not Twitch's fault.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	1:26pm Bas NL: Hi spodi! And yes, finally a free Friday listening moment. Yeay Christmas!
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: Irene my older sister was hot on Mark Lindsay
	1:28pm Ira: There seem to have been some recent attempts with updates
	1:28pm Irene Trudel: I totally believe it, coelacanth∅. I was slightly too young to "get" it.
	1:28pm Little Danny: Haha, UM
	1:29pm prudy: good afternoon UM...sent you some suggestions for next week...
	1:31pm still b/p: I always gotta recommend reading the liner notes for Raiders Spirit of 67 album. The section characterizing Lindsay is an entertaining, over-the-top, silly hoot of a curiosity. And Happy Christmas or Happy Hangout Day to all.
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: once again, i might not be able to listen but i'll send one in anyway
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: greetings s b/p
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: prudy! still b/p!
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: UM i'm hearing a shadow of this song, faintly
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: this one too, i think
	1:35pm Little Danny: Nice use of the "Quiet Village" bass ostinato
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: I don't know what that means, Coel. Mute the video?
	1:36pm coelacanth∅: oops you're right. sorry
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: Good ear, Danny.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: i normally don't watch the video but i opened it in another window (my only option) to see if it would work. i'm used to Little Danny's, which has no sound so it doesn't need muting.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: I need to see if I can make it default to mute.
	1:40pm franco twinkie: It's Christmas morning and I'm having trouble tying my shoes.
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: ♥ shirelles
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Tying your cha cha heels?
	🛒 1:42pm Franco Twinkie: I wish!
	1:42pm Little Danny: You can mute it from OBS, UM
	🛒 1:43pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Danny!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Well, sure Danny. I don't want to do that.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: I'll look into making the embedded player open muted by default.
	1:44pm Little Danny: Sorry I need to bother reading the earlier comments first, UM. React! React! React!
	1:45pm spodiodi: reading is so important aloha, Franco! merry xmas
	1:46pm burke: Frankincense and myrrh and incense and peppermints!
	1:47pm Little Danny: Love this!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: It's ok, Danny! Never read the comments! burke!
	1:48pm Doug Schulkind: That was awful pretty.
	1:49pm Little Danny: I love this Kenny Burrell. One of a very few Xmas records I've kept around.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: On Cadet, unsurprisingly, a Richard Evans joint...like today's bed music.
	1:51pm Little Danny: Yes, with a classic Tom Gorman album cover to boot.
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: hahha
	1:54pm Doug Schulkind: Yes, it's Dorothy Ashby.
	🛒 1:58pm Franco Twinkie: I'm a snow flake, so the fuck what?
	1:59pm Little Danny: Poetry, Franco.
	2:00pm spodiodi: Soupy ftw
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: So the fuck nothing, Franco! Where's your request, brother?
	🛒 2:01pm Franco Twinkie: Takes one to know one, Danny.
	🛒 2:02pm Franco Twinkie: I phoned them in this morning Michael.
	2:02pm Little Danny: Where do we plop our requests, UM?
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: scroll up, Danny...first comment
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Franco!
	2:04pm burke: I remember loving this song at the last Xmas show all those years ago
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I didn't check for repeats!
	2:12pm Irene Trudel: I'll bet Santa Claus is mellow with that 100ft. long reefer!
	2:12pm doctorjazz: I actually think a lot of great music doesn't get played on FMU due to not wanting to play something again that a DJ had played before, or that another DJ had played. My $0.02.
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: Fats Waller was not amused
	2:13pm Doug Schulkind: @doctorjazz If that bias exists, it needs to be obliterated. Like all biases.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I know of a handful of songs in todays show that have been played on other shows this week. But I think you're right.
	2:18pm chresti: Merry masa on the floor everyone!
	🛒 2:19pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you for remembering the bathos.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: if nothing else, I can do bathetic
	2:22pm spodiodi: merry masa, chresti! One of my favorite foods to eat is called corn The Indians call it "maize" We call the Indians "Indians" This is because Columbus thought he was in India When he first came to this land -- King Missile
	2:22pm barrett785: Dinky Xmas to you and yours!
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: I'm overdue for tamale making. Can I make some after Christmas?
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Pat! Back atcha!
	2:23pm Roberto: I hate to sound like a broken record, but...
	2:25pm chresti: UM, yes. This year all bets are off with the tamale making schedule.
	2:27pm chresti: One of my jobs here is catching masa when it starts flying.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Johnny Guanieri was a pretty well known sideman during the. Swing era, particularly from stints with Benny Goodman.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: My job here is making a masa here in the house.
	2:30pm Stevel: I think I sent you some requests. Merrymaking to all!
	2:31pm Listener Gregory: I went out to take a walk in the surprisingly above-freezing weather and return to find I missed a song about weed with a Fats Waller imitation! Yeesh!
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: greetings chresti! Franco! i might have some merry masa for lunch
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Steve!
	2:31pm rw: Happy Christmas!!! Thank you UM for hosting the party!
	2:31pm spodiodi: request sent via email form
	2:33pm spodiodi: had my yuletide burrito yesterday siesta santa emoji
	2:33pm doctorjazz: Always ready to drop another request (or 50…) into the request line. You're welcome!
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: i think it's around 60ºf here and lots and lots of rain, dear
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I have a nice tamale I'm gonna make with raisins, olives and pork.
	2:35pm spodiodi: UM, that sounds kinda scary 8^o
	2:36pm still b/p: Iffn I can make a barely relevant jump from fashioning the food to just...fashion: In the movie "How To Marry A Millionaire," a model sports "a tamale colored serape." And I always found something fun and nicely satisfying in the phrase. I thought I'd mentioned it before in comments, and I find that I did on Doug's show, the same day Uncle Michael said, "I have the art of the tamale shower down to a science."
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: I wonder what I meant.
	2:41pm doctorjazz: Time to meditate with my crew, back later.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: see ya, Doc
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: it's raining cats, dogs and tamales here. ...there's pretty much of a riot goin' on
	2:43pm still b/p: Tamale cooks while Uncle showers, without kitchen disaster ensuing. Your announced plan that day had made someone else anxious with recollection of their Dad's tomato soup and nap danger situation.
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: later on, dr
	🛒 2:43pm Franco Twinkie: I love this song more than Christmas itself.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Is that a high bar, Franco?
	🛒 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: I dunno Michael, I just know what he's talking about, that's all.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: I hear you loud and clear.
	2:50pm Michael 98145: Cheers, everyone ❄🔔
	2:51pm Listener Gregory: Thanks for the invitation, but I spend New Year's Eve in a very special tradition: drinking alone while sobbing in the dark!
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Turn on the light. Maybe you're not alone.
	2:52pm Listener Gregory: UM, the playlist seems to be missing that song, btw (What are You Doing...?). No it doesn't! My bad.
	🛒 2:55pm Franco Twinkie: Oh Gregory, you just made my morning!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: Listener G we'll all turn on the radio and be alone together Cheers Michael!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Four hours of airchecks coming up...if you're needing 'em!
	🛒 2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, get over here and help me! I'm having a little trouble this morning.
	🛒 2:58pm Franco Twinkie: iX!
	2:58pm Michael 98145: yup
	2:58pm chresti: It seems like every other dish I dig out of the cupboard to put the grated cheese in is already dirty.
	2:59pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! cheerio all
	2:59pm chresti: I think someone was drunk when they washed the dishes.
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Franco i'm with you in spirit! can i help in another way?
	3:00pm chresti: Thanks UM!
	3:00pm Listener Gregory: @coelacanth0, it's a date!
	3:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks very much, UM! Have a great day, all!
	3:00pm burke: A merry merry to all Hinky dinks. See you next year UM
	🛒 3:00pm Franco Twinkie: Your blessing is all I require.
	3:01pm Listener Gregory: Thanks very much, UM. May all your Xmasses be Xy!
	3:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle M! Merry Whatevs to you to everyone
	🛒 3:01pm Franco Twinkie: Thank yo Michael, this tamale is for you!
	3:02pm coelacanth∅: you got that Franco
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everybody. I'm leaving the comments runnin'.
	3:03pm Listener Gregory: My comments are always running. It drives everyone crazy.
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Ha!
	3:06pm Bas NL: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:06pm coelacanth∅: i've got that curse too. a burden others bear more than i
	3:08pm Jeff Golick: Belated greetings to one and all.
	3:08pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	3:12pm doctorjazz: Thanks, UM! Happy/Merry all!
	3:13pm Uncle Michael: Oh great...its gonna do it again.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Jeff
	3:27pm coelacanth∅: i figured on popping in and out of the airchecks, other shows and playing some music i've been wanting to get to here; but Jesus Christmas, all 4 fmu streams are playing xmas music now! no escaping, for those with limited options
	3:28pm Jeff Golick: Remind me why we bought our son a bluetooth speaker...
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: (though i'm fine)
	3:29pm chresti: Franco is now getting masa on his shirt, and everything else. I grated cheese.
	3:29pm Rich in Washington: Hello Uncle Michael! Hi everybody!
	3:30pm coelacanth∅: i know masa is corn but is it just corn flour or corn meal?
	3:31pm coelacanth∅: (i thought it was just another word for corn/maize) hey Rich (iW)!
	3:34pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	3:46pm Uncle Michael: In the UK, "corn flour" is what we call "corn starch". Here there are distinctions between corn starch, corn flour, various grinds of corn meal, and various grinds of masa. I know that doesn't help.
	3:48pm Dean: When my mother-in-law didn't make her own masa she drove into Pico Rivera to purchase it. Close second best.
	3:50pm Uncle Michael: The moist stuff in a plastic bag?
	3:52pm Dean: Right, prepared by somebody else's Mexican-American mother-in-law. At a joint in LA County where, supposedly, all dining establishments were required to display a County health ranking. This one, however, didn't bother. The clientele? LA County Sheriffs. Best chile verde ever.
	3:53pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, a bunch of Mexican places here sell that here. Before Xmas there's mountains of the stuff.
	3:53pm Dean: Mountains? You had to bring up Leslie West.
	3:54pm Uncle Michael: Do you think he was made of masa?
	3:57pm Dean: That's what I find myself asking my kids: "What?! You think I'm made of masa?" At some point I'd love your recipe for Holiday Artichokes, by the way.
	3:58pm Uncle Michael: So would I. I've never made Holiday Artichokes!
	3:59pm Uncle Michael: Do you think tamales grow on trees?
	4:01pm Dean: At this point all the playlist reveals is that they cook somehow for four hours.
	4:02pm Uncle Michael: On that burning tree.
	4:02pm Dean: I feel we're getting uncomfortably Biblical all of a sudden.
	4:03pm Uncle Michael: Would you like to try a Golden Calf. They're not too hoppy.
	4:04pm Dean: No, I think I'll have the Ark Special. Two-for-one, right?
	4:05pm Uncle Michael: We're all out of Unicorn.
	4:08pm Dean: Here in California that's due to the law prohibiting its preparation and service, like pâté de foie gras at one time.
	4:09pm Uncle Michael: Goose funnels are no longer prohibited?
	4:10pm Dean: "On July 14, 2020, District Judge Stephen V. Wilson lifted the ban on foie gras, ruling that the state's health code does not prevent the food from being imported from out of California."--Wikipedia. Goose Funnels. Damn. Wish I'd thought of that.
	4:11pm Dean: (N.B. Bastille Day!)
	4:14pm chresti: Actually, artichokes would be nice in tamales.
	4:14pm Uncle Michael: Well, to be honest, addressing gratuitous animal cruelty through the health codes was probably doomed to be overturned due to the utter lack of a relationship between the two things.
	🛒 4:14pm WR: Whether you are wondering or not, I am listening. Still in the kitchen. In fact will be cooking right up to dinner hour. So many air checks in a row got easier to listen to once some songs got to play at least in part. 4 hours of air checks like the Hound Dog ones at the beginning would have been tough.
	4:15pm Uncle Michael: "scoped" airchecks can be trying.
	4:17pm Dean: Kinda like nabbing Al Capone on tax evasion? Artichoke tamales...that does sound enticing.
	4:19pm Uncle Michael: Not really. It's more like Using the tax code outlaw murder.
	4:22pm chresti: Franco gets the masa without the lard, we add butter and stock to it, he kneads it until it's the right consistency and then add the cheese and chiles, then start smearing it on corn husks
	4:24pm chresti: I love artichoke.
	4:25pm Dean: Something to that. Imagine a prospective murderer considering his/her options as specified in a Byzantine, convoluted multi-thousand page text of logical lapses and loopholes. "Screw it. I'll just ignore the dope."
	4:27pm Uncle Michael: It's not unheard of for illegal enterprises to be taxable. This has been used in relation to contraband drugs.
	4:30pm Uncle Michael: chresti, Franco mixes chilis and cheese into the masa, not as a filling?
	4:36pm Doug Schulkind: My wife gave us a present for Xmas. A copy of De Tocqueville's Democracy in America. We're going to read it out loud to each other. The book is 600 pages. Let's hope we're still a democracy when we're finished.
	4:38pm Uncle Michael: You better get Evelyn Wood to read it to you.
	4:38pm Uncle Michael: I love this Christmas music.
	4:51pm chresti: The world is your ball of masa.
	🛒 4:53pm Brian in UK: What's happening?
	4:54pm chresti: UM, we decided to do it this way since there's only the 2 of us smearing. His mom used to do the cheese and chile tamales this way, comes out great.
	4:56pm Dean: Was buttering my baking dish, by which I do not mean "buttering my baking dish," but most literally buttering my baking dish. De Toqueville for Christmas! What a great gift. That and Hoffman's Steal This Book.
	5:04pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the air checks, Uncle Michael! They have that AM radio fidelity too!
	🛒 5:05pm Brian in UK: Uncle, this does take me back there. Used to listen to Radio London back then. All pirate ships.
	5:06pm coelacanth∅: i just read an excerpt of that book, which i'd never heard of. exactly what's happening now in america.
	5:07pm Webhamster Henry: Steal this book: "they usually will do a discount for dented cans so make sure to dent them good before reaching the check out counter" -- helpful tip I recall.
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: Henry we thwarted that scam in the stores i managed with a policy of not selling damaged items at all, unless we knew how it got damaged (or it was received damaged) it was okay because we most sold only things we would consume.
	5:12pm Webhamster Henry: @coelo - it was a more innocent time for retail I guess.
	5:12pm coelacanth∅: ...or occasionally confiscate it at the checkout counter, then offer it at a discount to another customer after the scammer left.
	5:13pm Webhamster Henry: ... or just hold up your copy of "Steal This Book" with that page dogeared. Busted!
	5:13pm coelacanth∅: for sure. i remember carts full of dented cans at the store, very cheap.
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: haha! yeah
	5:15pm coelacanth∅: ...but i'd just think "go steal from the supermarket, you asshole. we're a small store struggling against big corporations."
	5:23pm Webhamster Henry: STICK IT TO THE MAN!
	5:24pm Webhamster Henry: Appropriate for Radio Caroline, pirate radio station.
	5:25pm Uncle Michael: I stepped away. What did I miss?
	5:25pm Webhamster Henry: We've been denting cans in the Hinky Dinky canned veggies aisle.
	5:27pm Uncle Michael: sob
	5:30pm Uncle Michael: Where's Bas? Theo?
	5:35pm Uncle Michael: I dashed off to pick up Chinese take-out. It's the traditional Christmas feast of my people.
	5:41pm Webhamster Henry: I'm making roasted root veggies + chicken.
	5:48pm Dean: I had no idea you were Chinese, UM. I'm blasting Hot Tuna right now, cooking hot ham, simmering hot green beans, slow-cooking hot barbecued beans, and whether or not it's Christmas, I'm having a good December 25.
	5:48pm still b/p: Chicken was roasted last night in case gale-force gusts knocked power out today. Soon we eat it. I just noticed a sign on one of the joints in the tawdry, honky-tonk version of Bedford Falls/Pottersville says "Welcome Jitterbug." Good name for a band or a boat.
	5:52pm chresti: Tamales done, steaming some in the pot.
	5:55pm chresti: Thanks UM! Happy Holidays!
	5:56pm Uncle Michael: You too, chresti!
	5:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM! Hope you and fam have a great time!
	6:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Rich. I hope you and yours do too.

	6:09pm Uncle Michael: See ya Coel! And same to you.
	🛒 6:18pm WR: Chicken thighs internal temp is 180. Dinner on table soon! Have been enjoying it all. Stream blips and all, but that's me.
	6:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks WR.
	6:24pm Uncle Michael: We're about to transition to the last segment that will take us up to Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn. Stay tuned at 7:00 ET.
	6:29pm CC: Dang I didn't realize you was on right now Uncle Michael..!.. just jack me off with a wire brush!!!...:)
	6:29pm Uncle Michael: We revisit the the horror that was KRTH's 1982 countdown to midnight, and the "number one" song of the year.
	6:32pm CC: You must be filling in for somebody???...:)
	6:35pm phat: 75 batteries a year!
	6:36pm Webhamster Henry: This aircheck has ads! Oh yeah! I have that CBS radio countdown for July 1983 that has the network ads in it.
	6:36pm phat: I believe I still have this Vangelis 7"
	6:36pm Uncle Michael: Just filling four hours of what's normally post-show automated stream time, CC

	6:40pm Ike: Cheers, everybody!
	6:40pm Uncle Michael: Curated.
	6:40pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Ike.
	6:41pm CC: Well...darn!!!...:)
	6:41pm Dean: Cured.
	6:42pm Uncle Michael: It's automated in the sense that after the algorithm that is Doug schedules it, no further human intervention is required, except in the case of malfunction.
	6:42pm CC: Do you know if we have any live DJs on tonight talking on the microphone???...:)
	6:43pm Uncle Michael: Bronwyn at 7:00 then Julie at 9:00
	6:44pm CC: So if I talk to them tonight they can talk to me and say hi on the microphone???...:)
	6:44pm Uncle Michael: Stations like this worked so damned hard to dodge all the good music that was being released. It's amazing.
	6:44pm Uncle Michael: That's not up to me.
	6:45pm Uncle Michael: If anyone ever wonders about the term "alternative", this is the explanation.
	6:47pm Dean: "Alternative"? Fuck alternative. Nothing of value is alternative.
	6:48pm CC: Yeah if they don't put you in jail you feel lucky that you just got off with a ticket!!!...:)
	6:48pm Uncle Michael: Now do "gluten-free".
	6:49pm Uncle Michael: If I had DJ nightmares they'd be about being at KRTH in 1982.
	6:50pm Uncle Michael: Anyone else visualizing the training montage?
	6:50pm Webhamster Henry: I skipped those movies.
	🛒 6:52pm WR: Food on table, thanks for the cooking soundtrack today Uncle Michael! And #1 is???
	6:52pm Uncle Michael: Not telling.

	6:56pm Webhamster Henry: You can just cut to the drummer stream now.
	6:56pm Uncle Michael: shudder
	🛒 6:56pm WR: My partner recognized it on the 1st notes, she was 12 years old that year. Centerfold. LOL.
	6:57pm CC: Peter Wolf kills it on any vocal he ever does!!!...:)
	6:58pm CC: Cheerz y'all!!!...:)
	6:59pm Webhamster Henry: <narrator: ...and they had a lousy 1983>
	7:00pm Uncle Michael: Good night, everyone!
	🛒 7:00pm WR: Thank you !

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 25, 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.

	1:07pm Uncle Michael: BiUK! Thank you.
	1:07pm Doug Schulkind: Just came in from shoveling. What'd I miss?!
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: The same thing we all did. 20% of the show.
	1:13pm Uncle Michael: I've crossed my fingers and re-enabled the video. You may have to refresh the browser.
	1:13pm spodiodi: looking good!
	1:14pm Ira: I believe Simon and Garfunkle were first. The Hopefuls title is 6 o'clock news but a different announcer, reading the same copy says 7. The Hopefuls label I saw credits Paul Simon
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Ira.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: Thanks, @Ira!
	1:17pm Uncle Michael: Hard-panned stereo. Man.
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: .... covering 7 o'clock news/silent night is like covering an interview, or a monty python skit. it makes no sense
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: (unless it's dramatically different. i missed it today and i've never heard it)
	1:20pm doctorjazz: It struck me as a very strange cover, Coel, pretty close to the original.
	1:21pm Little Danny: Hi Michael, hi y'all
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: This sounds like that Mashmakan song.
	1:21pm Uncle Michael: LD!
	🛒 1:21pm Brian in UK: Oh my favourite Jeff Lynne.
	1:21pm coelacanth∅: is it library music? that might explain it.
	1:22pm Listener Gregory: UM, I investigated the Paul Revere "featuring Mark Lindsay" situation. Apparently, Lindsay was a founding member of the group and co-wrote most of their songs. Only he and Revere stuck with the band through its heyday. So, maybe not surprising that he got special credit.
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: I smell lawyers.
	1:23pm spodiodi: hi Little Danny! hi Brian in UK, doctorjazz, Ira, Doug Schulkind, Gregory, all
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: ugh. i hate that smell
	1:23pm Bas NL: Hi Uncle Michael! Hinky Dinky marathoners!
	1:23pm Little Danny: Spodi!
	1:23pm spodiodi: they taste even worse than they smell
	1:24pm Uncle Michael: Bas! long time...
	1:24pm coelacanth∅: ewww
	1:24pm spodiodi: hi Bas!
	1:24pm Irene Trudel: Mark Lindsay was also quite the heartthrob back in the day. I have a number of 16 Magazines and Tiger Beats with him all over the cover.
	1:25pm Little Danny: Has your Twitch connection been pretty stable today, UM? Mine was lousy with buffering last night.
	1:25pm robtatet: Christmas lunch with Elvis
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: ...i kid though. i don't think lawyers are automatically bad. except corporate lawyers
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: My Twitch issues are always my internet issues. Not Twitch's fault.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	1:26pm Bas NL: Hi spodi! And yes, finally a free Friday listening moment. Yeay Christmas!
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: Irene my older sister was hot on Mark Lindsay
	1:28pm Ira: There seem to have been some recent attempts with updates
	1:28pm Irene Trudel: I totally believe it, coelacanth∅. I was slightly too young to "get" it.
	1:28pm Little Danny: Haha, UM
	1:29pm prudy: good afternoon UM...sent you some suggestions for next week...
	1:31pm still b/p: I always gotta recommend reading the liner notes for Raiders Spirit of 67 album. The section characterizing Lindsay is an entertaining, over-the-top, silly hoot of a curiosity. And Happy Christmas or Happy Hangout Day to all.
	1:31pm coelacanth∅: once again, i might not be able to listen but i'll send one in anyway
	1:32pm coelacanth∅: greetings s b/p
	1:33pm Uncle Michael: prudy! still b/p!
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: UM i'm hearing a shadow of this song, faintly
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: this one too, i think
	1:35pm Little Danny: Nice use of the "Quiet Village" bass ostinato
	1:35pm Uncle Michael: I don't know what that means, Coel. Mute the video?
	1:36pm coelacanth∅: oops you're right. sorry
	1:38pm Uncle Michael: Good ear, Danny.
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: i normally don't watch the video but i opened it in another window (my only option) to see if it would work. i'm used to Little Danny's, which has no sound so it doesn't need muting.
	1:39pm Uncle Michael: I need to see if I can make it default to mute.
	1:40pm franco twinkie: It's Christmas morning and I'm having trouble tying my shoes.
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: ♥ shirelles
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Franco! Tying your cha cha heels?
	🛒 1:42pm Franco Twinkie: I wish!
	1:42pm Little Danny: You can mute it from OBS, UM
	🛒 1:43pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Danny!
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Well, sure Danny. I don't want to do that.
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: I'll look into making the embedded player open muted by default.
	1:44pm Little Danny: Sorry I need to bother reading the earlier comments first, UM. React! React! React!
	1:45pm spodiodi: reading is so important aloha, Franco! merry xmas
	1:46pm burke: Frankincense and myrrh and incense and peppermints!
	1:47pm Little Danny: Love this!
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: It's ok, Danny! Never read the comments! burke!
	1:48pm Doug Schulkind: That was awful pretty.
	1:49pm Little Danny: I love this Kenny Burrell. One of a very few Xmas records I've kept around.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: On Cadet, unsurprisingly, a Richard Evans joint...like today's bed music.
	1:51pm Little Danny: Yes, with a classic Tom Gorman album cover to boot.
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: hahha
	1:54pm Doug Schulkind: Yes, it's Dorothy Ashby.
	🛒 1:58pm Franco Twinkie: I'm a snow flake, so the fuck what?
	1:59pm Little Danny: Poetry, Franco.
	2:00pm spodiodi: Soupy ftw
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: So the fuck nothing, Franco! Where's your request, brother?
	🛒 2:01pm Franco Twinkie: Takes one to know one, Danny.
	🛒 2:02pm Franco Twinkie: I phoned them in this morning Michael.
	2:02pm Little Danny: Where do we plop our requests, UM?
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: scroll up, Danny...first comment
	2:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Franco!
	2:04pm burke: I remember loving this song at the last Xmas show all those years ago
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I didn't check for repeats!
	2:12pm Irene Trudel: I'll bet Santa Claus is mellow with that 100ft. long reefer!
	2:12pm doctorjazz: I actually think a lot of great music doesn't get played on FMU due to not wanting to play something again that a DJ had played before, or that another DJ had played. My $0.02.
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: Fats Waller was not amused
	2:13pm Doug Schulkind: @doctorjazz If that bias exists, it needs to be obliterated. Like all biases.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: I know of a handful of songs in todays show that have been played on other shows this week. But I think you're right.
	2:18pm chresti: Merry masa on the floor everyone!
	🛒 2:19pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you for remembering the bathos.
	2:21pm Uncle Michael: if nothing else, I can do bathetic
	2:22pm spodiodi: merry masa, chresti! One of my favorite foods to eat is called corn The Indians call it "maize" We call the Indians "Indians" This is because Columbus thought he was in India When he first came to this land -- King Missile
	2:22pm barrett785: Dinky Xmas to you and yours!
	2:22pm Uncle Michael: I'm overdue for tamale making. Can I make some after Christmas?
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: Pat! Back atcha!
	2:23pm Roberto: I hate to sound like a broken record, but...
	2:25pm chresti: UM, yes. This year all bets are off with the tamale making schedule.
	2:27pm chresti: One of my jobs here is catching masa when it starts flying.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Johnny Guanieri was a pretty well known sideman during the. Swing era, particularly from stints with Benny Goodman.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: My job here is making a masa here in the house.
	2:30pm Stevel: I think I sent you some requests. Merrymaking to all!
	2:31pm Listener Gregory: I went out to take a walk in the surprisingly above-freezing weather and return to find I missed a song about weed with a Fats Waller imitation! Yeesh!
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: greetings chresti! Franco! i might have some merry masa for lunch
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Steve!
	2:31pm rw: Happy Christmas!!! Thank you UM for hosting the party!
	2:31pm spodiodi: request sent via email form
	2:33pm spodiodi: had my yuletide burrito yesterday siesta santa emoji
	2:33pm doctorjazz: Always ready to drop another request (or 50…) into the request line. You're welcome!
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: i think it's around 60ºf here and lots and lots of rain, dear
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: I have a nice tamale I'm gonna make with raisins, olives and pork.
	2:35pm spodiodi: UM, that sounds kinda scary 8^o
	2:36pm still b/p: Iffn I can make a barely relevant jump from fashioning the food to just...fashion: In the movie "How To Marry A Millionaire," a model sports "a tamale colored serape." And I always found something fun and nicely satisfying in the phrase. I thought I'd mentioned it before in comments, and I find that I did on Doug's show, the same day Uncle Michael said, "I have the art of the tamale shower down to a science."
	2:39pm Uncle Michael: I wonder what I meant.
	2:41pm doctorjazz: Time to meditate with my crew, back later.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: see ya, Doc
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: it's raining cats, dogs and tamales here. ...there's pretty much of a riot goin' on
	2:43pm still b/p: Tamale cooks while Uncle showers, without kitchen disaster ensuing. Your announced plan that day had made someone else anxious with recollection of their Dad's tomato soup and nap danger situation.
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: later on, dr
	🛒 2:43pm Franco Twinkie: I love this song more than Christmas itself.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Is that a high bar, Franco?
	🛒 2:45pm Franco Twinkie: I dunno Michael, I just know what he's talking about, that's all.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: I hear you loud and clear.
	2:50pm Michael 98145: Cheers, everyone ❄🔔
	2:51pm Listener Gregory: Thanks for the invitation, but I spend New Year's Eve in a very special tradition: drinking alone while sobbing in the dark!
	2:51pm Uncle Michael: Turn on the light. Maybe you're not alone.
	2:52pm Listener Gregory: UM, the playlist seems to be missing that song, btw (What are You Doing...?). No it doesn't! My bad.
	🛒 2:55pm Franco Twinkie: Oh Gregory, you just made my morning!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: Listener G we'll all turn on the radio and be alone together Cheers Michael!
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Four hours of airchecks coming up...if you're needing 'em!
	🛒 2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, get over here and help me! I'm having a little trouble this morning.
	🛒 2:58pm Franco Twinkie: iX!
	2:58pm Michael 98145: yup
	2:58pm chresti: It seems like every other dish I dig out of the cupboard to put the grated cheese in is already dirty.
	2:59pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! cheerio all
	2:59pm chresti: I think someone was drunk when they washed the dishes.
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Franco i'm with you in spirit! can i help in another way?
	3:00pm chresti: Thanks UM!
	3:00pm Listener Gregory: @coelacanth0, it's a date!
	3:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks very much, UM! Have a great day, all!
	3:00pm burke: A merry merry to all Hinky dinks. See you next year UM
	🛒 3:00pm Franco Twinkie: Your blessing is all I require.
	3:01pm Listener Gregory: Thanks very much, UM. May all your Xmasses be Xy!
	3:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle M! Merry Whatevs to you to everyone
	🛒 3:01pm Franco Twinkie: Thank yo Michael, this tamale is for you!
	3:02pm coelacanth∅: you got that Franco
	3:02pm Uncle Michael: Thanks everybody. I'm leaving the comments runnin'.
	3:03pm Listener Gregory: My comments are always running. It drives everyone crazy.
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: Ha!
	3:06pm Bas NL: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	3:06pm coelacanth∅: i've got that curse too. a burden others bear more than i
	3:08pm Jeff Golick: Belated greetings to one and all.
	3:08pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	3:12pm doctorjazz: Thanks, UM! Happy/Merry all!
	3:13pm Uncle Michael: Oh great...its gonna do it again.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Jeff
	3:27pm coelacanth∅: i figured on popping in and out of the airchecks, other shows and playing some music i've been wanting to get to here; but Jesus Christmas, all 4 fmu streams are playing xmas music now! no escaping, for those with limited options
	3:28pm Jeff Golick: Remind me why we bought our son a bluetooth speaker...
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: (though i'm fine)
	3:29pm chresti: Franco is now getting masa on his shirt, and everything else. I grated cheese.
	3:29pm Rich in Washington: Hello Uncle Michael! Hi everybody!
	3:30pm coelacanth∅: i know masa is corn but is it just corn flour or corn meal?
	3:31pm coelacanth∅: (i thought it was just another word for corn/maize) hey Rich (iW)!
	3:34pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	3:46pm Uncle Michael: In the UK, "corn flour" is what we call "corn starch". Here there are distinctions between corn starch, corn flour, various grinds of corn meal, and various grinds of masa. I know that doesn't help.
	3:48pm Dean: When my mother-in-law didn't make her own masa she drove into Pico Rivera to purchase it. Close second best.
	3:50pm Uncle Michael: The moist stuff in a plastic bag?
	3:52pm Dean: Right, prepared by somebody else's Mexican-American mother-in-law. At a joint in LA County where, supposedly, all dining establishments were required to display a County health ranking. This one, however, didn't bother. The clientele? LA County Sheriffs. Best chile verde ever.
	3:53pm Uncle Michael: Yeah, a bunch of Mexican places here sell that here. Before Xmas there's mountains of the stuff.
	3:53pm Dean: Mountains? You had to bring up Leslie West.
	3:54pm Uncle Michael: Do you think he was made of masa?
	3:57pm Dean: That's what I find myself asking my kids: "What?! You think I'm made of masa?" At some point I'd love your recipe for Holiday Artichokes, by the way.
	3:58pm Uncle Michael: So would I. I've never made Holiday Artichokes!
	3:59pm Uncle Michael: Do you think tamales grow on trees?
	4:01pm Dean: At this point all the playlist reveals is that they cook somehow for four hours.
	4:02pm Uncle Michael: On that burning tree.
	4:02pm Dean: I feel we're getting uncomfortably Biblical all of a sudden.
	4:03pm Uncle Michael: Would you like to try a Golden Calf. They're not too hoppy.
	4:04pm Dean: No, I think I'll have the Ark Special. Two-for-one, right?
	4:05pm Uncle Michael: We're all out of Unicorn.
	4:08pm Dean: Here in California that's due to the law prohibiting its preparation and service, like pâté de foie gras at one time.
	4:09pm Uncle Michael: Goose funnels are no longer prohibited?
	4:10pm Dean: "On July 14, 2020, District Judge Stephen V. Wilson lifted the ban on foie gras, ruling that the state's health code does not prevent the food from being imported from out of California."--Wikipedia. Goose Funnels. Damn. Wish I'd thought of that.
	4:11pm Dean: (N.B. Bastille Day!)
	4:14pm chresti: Actually, artichokes would be nice in tamales.
	4:14pm Uncle Michael: Well, to be honest, addressing gratuitous animal cruelty through the health codes was probably doomed to be overturned due to the utter lack of a relationship between the two things.
	🛒 4:14pm WR: Whether you are wondering or not, I am listening. Still in the kitchen. In fact will be cooking right up to dinner hour. So many air checks in a row got easier to listen to once some songs got to play at least in part. 4 hours of air checks like the Hound Dog ones at the beginning would have been tough.
	4:15pm Uncle Michael: "scoped" airchecks can be trying.
	4:17pm Dean: Kinda like nabbing Al Capone on tax evasion? Artichoke tamales...that does sound enticing.
	4:19pm Uncle Michael: Not really. It's more like Using the tax code outlaw murder.
	4:22pm chresti: Franco gets the masa without the lard, we add butter and stock to it, he kneads it until it's the right consistency and then add the cheese and chiles, then start smearing it on corn husks
	4:24pm chresti: I love artichoke.
	4:25pm Dean: Something to that. Imagine a prospective murderer considering his/her options as specified in a Byzantine, convoluted multi-thousand page text of logical lapses and loopholes. "Screw it. I'll just ignore the dope."
	4:27pm Uncle Michael: It's not unheard of for illegal enterprises to be taxable. This has been used in relation to contraband drugs.
	4:30pm Uncle Michael: chresti, Franco mixes chilis and cheese into the masa, not as a filling?
	4:36pm Doug Schulkind: My wife gave us a present for Xmas. A copy of De Tocqueville's Democracy in America. We're going to read it out loud to each other. The book is 600 pages. Let's hope we're still a democracy when we're finished.
	4:38pm Uncle Michael: You better get Evelyn Wood to read it to you.
	4:38pm Uncle Michael: I love this Christmas music.
	4:51pm chresti: The world is your ball of masa.
	🛒 4:53pm Brian in UK: What's happening?
	4:54pm chresti: UM, we decided to do it this way since there's only the 2 of us smearing. His mom used to do the cheese and chile tamales this way, comes out great.
	4:56pm Dean: Was buttering my baking dish, by which I do not mean "buttering my baking dish," but most literally buttering my baking dish. De Toqueville for Christmas! What a great gift. That and Hoffman's Steal This Book.
	5:04pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the air checks, Uncle Michael! They have that AM radio fidelity too!
	🛒 5:05pm Brian in UK: Uncle, this does take me back there. Used to listen to Radio London back then. All pirate ships.
	5:06pm coelacanth∅: i just read an excerpt of that book, which i'd never heard of. exactly what's happening now in america.
	5:07pm Webhamster Henry: Steal this book: "they usually will do a discount for dented cans so make sure to dent them good before reaching the check out counter" -- helpful tip I recall.
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: Henry we thwarted that scam in the stores i managed with a policy of not selling damaged items at all, unless we knew how it got damaged (or it was received damaged) it was okay because we most sold only things we would consume.
	5:12pm Webhamster Henry: @coelo - it was a more innocent time for retail I guess.
	5:12pm coelacanth∅: ...or occasionally confiscate it at the checkout counter, then offer it at a discount to another customer after the scammer left.
	5:13pm Webhamster Henry: ... or just hold up your copy of "Steal This Book" with that page dogeared. Busted!
	5:13pm coelacanth∅: for sure. i remember carts full of dented cans at the store, very cheap.
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: haha! yeah
	5:15pm coelacanth∅: ...but i'd just think "go steal from the supermarket, you asshole. we're a small store struggling against big corporations."
	5:23pm Webhamster Henry: STICK IT TO THE MAN!
	5:24pm Webhamster Henry: Appropriate for Radio Caroline, pirate radio station.
	5:25pm Uncle Michael: I stepped away. What did I miss?
	5:25pm Webhamster Henry: We've been denting cans in the Hinky Dinky canned veggies aisle.
	5:27pm Uncle Michael: sob
	5:30pm Uncle Michael: Where's Bas? Theo?
	5:35pm Uncle Michael: I dashed off to pick up Chinese take-out. It's the traditional Christmas feast of my people.
	5:41pm Webhamster Henry: I'm making roasted root veggies + chicken.
	5:48pm Dean: I had no idea you were Chinese, UM. I'm blasting Hot Tuna right now, cooking hot ham, simmering hot green beans, slow-cooking hot barbecued beans, and whether or not it's Christmas, I'm having a good December 25.
	5:48pm still b/p: Chicken was roasted last night in case gale-force gusts knocked power out today. Soon we eat it. I just noticed a sign on one of the joints in the tawdry, honky-tonk version of Bedford Falls/Pottersville says "Welcome Jitterbug." Good name for a band or a boat.
	5:52pm chresti: Tamales done, steaming some in the pot.
	5:55pm chresti: Thanks UM! Happy Holidays!
	5:56pm Uncle Michael: You too, chresti!
	5:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, UM! Hope you and fam have a great time!
	6:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Rich. I hope you and yours do too.
	6:08pm coelacanth∅: i'm still wandering around but i plan to work on something non-fmu related so i'll bid you now a Happy Everything! and Thanks! tchau
	6:09pm Uncle Michael: See ya Coel! And same to you.
	🛒 6:18pm WR: Chicken thighs internal temp is 180. Dinner on table soon! Have been enjoying it all. Stream blips and all, but that's me.
	6:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks WR.
	6:24pm Uncle Michael: We're about to transition to the last segment that will take us up to Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn. Stay tuned at 7:00 ET.
	6:29pm CC: Dang I didn't realize you was on right now Uncle Michael..!.. just jack me off with a wire brush!!!...:)
	6:29pm Uncle Michael: We revisit the the horror that was KRTH's 1982 countdown to midnight, and the "number one" song of the year.
	6:32pm CC: You must be filling in for somebody???...:)
	6:35pm phat: 75 batteries a year!
	6:36pm Webhamster Henry: This aircheck has ads! Oh yeah! I have that CBS radio countdown for July 1983 that has the network ads in it.
	6:36pm phat: I believe I still have this Vangelis 7"
	6:36pm Uncle Michael: Just filling four hours of what's normally post-show automated stream time, CC
	6:36pm Webhamster Henry: Harriet's on Fire!
	6:37pm Uncle Michael: Better throw her in the water.
	6:38pm phat: 12 year old me loved this.
	6:38pm CC: Well that's just terrific I am so glad you all are here I know where I'm spending the next few hours!!!... Merry Krizbit!!...:)
	6:39pm Uncle Michael: I'm outta here in 20 more minutes.
	6:40pm Dean: "Automated"? Fuck automated. Nothing of value is automated.
	6:40pm Ike: Cheers, everybody!
	6:40pm Uncle Michael: Curated.
	6:40pm Uncle Michael: Hey, Ike.
	6:41pm CC: Well...darn!!!...:)
	6:41pm Dean: Cured.
	6:42pm Uncle Michael: It's automated in the sense that after the algorithm that is Doug schedules it, no further human intervention is required, except in the case of malfunction.
	6:42pm CC: Do you know if we have any live DJs on tonight talking on the microphone???...:)
	6:43pm Uncle Michael: Bronwyn at 7:00 then Julie at 9:00
	6:44pm CC: So if I talk to them tonight they can talk to me and say hi on the microphone???...:)
	6:44pm Uncle Michael: Stations like this worked so damned hard to dodge all the good music that was being released. It's amazing.
	6:44pm Uncle Michael: That's not up to me.
	6:45pm Uncle Michael: If anyone ever wonders about the term "alternative", this is the explanation.
	6:47pm Dean: "Alternative"? Fuck alternative. Nothing of value is alternative.
	6:48pm CC: Yeah if they don't put you in jail you feel lucky that you just got off with a ticket!!!...:)
	6:48pm Uncle Michael: Now do "gluten-free".
	6:49pm Uncle Michael: If I had DJ nightmares they'd be about being at KRTH in 1982.
	6:50pm Uncle Michael: Anyone else visualizing the training montage?
	6:50pm Webhamster Henry: I skipped those movies.
	🛒 6:52pm WR: Food on table, thanks for the cooking soundtrack today Uncle Michael! And #1 is???
	6:52pm Uncle Michael: Not telling.
	6:53pm Webhamster Henry: Southern California. Insert deprecatory comment.
	6:53pm Uncle Michael: They deserve their #1 song.
	6:54pm CC: I bet it's Michael Jackson!!!...:)
	6:55pm Webhamster Henry: I always repost this: www.echonyc.com...
	6:55pm CC: I'll be darned!!!...:)
	6:56pm Webhamster Henry: You can just cut to the drummer stream now.
	6:56pm Uncle Michael: shudder
	🛒 6:56pm WR: My partner recognized it on the 1st notes, she was 12 years old that year. Centerfold. LOL.
	6:57pm CC: Peter Wolf kills it on any vocal he ever does!!!...:)
	6:58pm CC: Cheerz y'all!!!...:)
	6:59pm Webhamster Henry: <narrator: ...and they had a lousy 1983>
	7:00pm Uncle Michael: Good night, everyone!
	🛒 7:00pm WR: Thank you !
