Listener comments!

	12:00pm listener james from westwood: howdy all and hello again UM!
	12:00pm glenn: any j. geils today? moody blues?
	12:01pm Doug Schulkind: Hinky Dinky Time, the popular vortex!
	12:02pm Uncle Michael: HOWDY! NO!
	12:02pm glenn: my favourite intro / theme thingy.
	12:02pm Alex In Illinois: The show started without the usual stop-start glitch. Maybe that is because I am listening using Winamp
	12:02pm duke: I lost my head over these video games
	12:02pm βrian: Feeling like a rooty poot today. So it goes. Hola.
	12:03pm ndbob: afternoon UM and everyone!
	12:03pm Rich in Washington: Howdy, UM! Howdy fellow Dinks!
	12:04pm Gary: This is crazy! And crazy awesome
	12:04pm Alex In Illinois: Wow! Those Blue Men sound out of this world!
	12:04pm pacific standard simon: Is it afternoon?! I must be late for work! Present, sir!
	12:04pm Uncle Michael: Hello all. Alex, I think that's due to the fact that the way Doug and I connect to the stream isn't the same.
	12:05pm bibi: hi all. nice pic. is that jeff bridges in tronIII ?
	12:05pm Dominick: This should be adapted into an Enchanted Tiki Room like attraction
	12:06pm Alex In Illinois: It is only Afternoon if you are in Eastern time, Atlantic time, Newfoundland time, east of there but west of Greenwitch mean time.
	12:07pm Artie: Snakes!!
	12:08pm Alex In Illinois: It is still morning here in Central time, Mountain time, and Pacific time. I don't know about Weld Mountain Thyme though
	12:08pm Alex In Illinois: I meant Wild Mountain Thyme
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: This isn't working. Where's efd?
	12:11pm pacific standard simon: Trapped in the crevasse between time zones.
	12:11pm efd: ha ha! I'm right here! I was just looking up some background on Stevie Wright before posting.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: I've got your number, mister.
	12:14pm efd: it's true, I'm a sucker for AC/DC soundalikes, among other things. And that was more like AC/DC-adjacent!
	12:14pm Uncle Michael: Right...maybe a Geordie soundalike?
	12:15pm efd: And the Oz Rock continues.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Lotta crappy Sherbet tracks...a few excellent ones. I think I've played the best one before.
	12:18pm listener james from westwood: heh, the title card of the video for this cramps cut came up a a gif in my tumblr feed yesterday.
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm reading your email too, James.
	12:22pm pacific standard simon: Les Paul was napping, but he still slowly strummed in his sleep.
	12:22pm listener james from westwood: do it while you can! the prez might be shutting that down!
	12:22pm Uncle Michael: He earned a rest.
	12:24pm duke: I'm doing quite well in my time machine, answering from the future.
	12:25pm duke: Doug's show is always great. I'll catch Gary in the archives using my time machine.
	12:25pm Present Time Gary: is doing fine, but buried under work at work (which might be why they call it work?)
	12:25pm pacific standard simon: Doin' what I can, Uncle! Missing the last hour again for bread-related reasons (probably next week, too).
	12:26pm glenn: fifteen two, fifteen four, and a double run of three makes ten.
	12:28pm glenn: apparently, and i have no way to prove this, st. louis blues is the first "blues" to be published in sheet music.
	12:29pm pacific standard simon: Actually asked to work today, so I can spend "An Afternoon With Groucho" (Frank Ferrante) tomorrow. Best one-man show ever.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Thank you for both bits of info, glenn! I forget my cribbage scoring.
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: @Alex The grand tech poobahs have yet to be able to fix the glitch that causes hiccups when shows changeover on the stream. Sorry about the annoyance!
	🛒 12:32pm Brian in UK: The rhyming slang for 'skyrocket' is 'pocket' over here. Bob Skyles & his Pockets does not really work. Hey.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Is that a skyrocket in your pocket or are you just happy to be vertical?
	12:33pm glenn: no worries. if you play me you won't be scoring any points anyway. :)
	🛒 12:34pm Brian in UK: Salutin' you too boss.
	🛒 12:36pm Brian in UK: Let's go do THE SHIRT. My trouserpress is warmed up and ready for action.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: We might one day do The Strain.
	12:39pm pacific standard simon: Trifecta: "The Strain", "Constipation Blues", and a live version of "Nothing Is Easy" where Ian gets particularly obnoxious with his grunts and groans.
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: doug, apologies if you posted this in the earlier playlist, but the PA voter id law has been overturned: thinkprogress.org...
	12:41pm glenn: don't forget "the intergalactic laxative".
	12:44pm pacific standard simon: I HAD forgotten Donovan's golden, shining moment!
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: The grammar on this song is very poor.
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: So is the grandad.
	12:46pm ken in denver: The Guess Who really knew how to stick it to THE MAN.
	12:47pm glenn: i love the guess who as well, but burton lost his way as soon as he left.
	12:51pm Gary: Nice! I may have missed this, but who's the woman (and now guy) singing?
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Abbey Lincoln
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: No idea who the guy is, Gary...
	12:54pm Gary: Grazie -- great track!
	12:54pm northguineahills: I've somehow missed this Max Roach, UM. Bravo!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: We Insist! is a pretty great album.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:56pm glenn: here's the crack smoking mayor of toronto - news.nationalpost.com... and here's the cheese wielding pervert of philadelphia news.nationalpost.com...
	12:56pm Gary: Aha! Awesome ... will read up on it
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: Must we choose?
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: What a great album this is. Sonny's swan song. So great.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org... Check the lineup.
	12:59pm glenn: separated at birth.
	1:00pm northguineahills: this makes me want to listen to the original Space Ghost Coast to Coast theme song.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: It's probably one of my 20 all time favorite albums of all time. It's going in the box with me.
	1:01pm Doug Schulkind: Beat me to it, NGH!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: I loved that show SO much...and that theme. I loved Cartoon Planet more though.
	1:02pm Rich in Washington: northguineahills: there's a whole EP's worth of takes on the Space Ghost theme out there.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: If I ever change my avatar...it's totally gonna be Brak.
	1:03pm northguineahills: @Rich: Really?!!! How did I miss that!!!
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: Space Ghost: Coast To Coast goo.gl...
	1:04pm Rich in Washington: Ask the Ages really needs a vinyl reissue
	1:12pm Rich in Washington: I've always said sharr-OCK. That's how I seem to recall always hearing it.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Rich.
	1:14pm Jeff Golick: Did somebody say Sonny Sharrock?
	1:15pm efd: I had a hunch you'd be playing some 10cc today.
	1:15pm Rich in Washington: Love 10cc. Am a huge Godley & Creme fan, too.
	1:16pm duke: I have a Moltar action figure on my desk. My son gave it to me. We watched Space Ghost all the time. Ask The Ages is another one of those must have albums.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: efd, this show was entirely in the can on Tuesday. Just sayin'!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I have a Brak animatronic AM radio. It no longer seems to animate though.
	1:21pm Dominick: I never tire of this record
	1:23pm Mike East: enjoying the show today. all over the place...in the best way.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Mike.
	1:25pm listener james from westwood: i have recently learned that a 4-year-old of my acquaintance likes frank sinatra. likes going to sleep to him, in fact. that kid is being raised right.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: hell yes
	1:28pm listener james from westwood: o for the days when songs had strings behind them like "galveston."
	1:29pm Jeff Golick: O my.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Hey Jeff!
	1:30pm northguineahills: Gotta run. Thanks UM!
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: Heyo! I answered the Sonny Sharrock call a little earlier...
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: I am currently horrified by the memory of how much I once listened to my Deju Vu cassette.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Why should you be?
	1:32pm Jeff Golick: I am also reeling at the thought that you, UM, had this show ready to go on Tuesday.
	1:32pm Jeff Golick: I dunno, man. I think familiarity led to contempt.
	1:35pm efd: Jeff, you and me both! My show isn't even ready at 9pm on Wednesday!
	1:37pm Jeff Golick: Glad to hear it, @efd. I was actually thinking this morning that D:O Radio could probably be improved with some foresight and planning. And then I thought: nah.
	1:38pm Alex In Illinois: Kirsty MacColl died in a boating accident
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: I didn't know that. Wow. I figure my show has to be ready sometime so I try and have the last details squared away on Wednesday night usually so I can relax about it on Thursday. I'm always casually at work on the next one.
	1:40pm Stevel: There's great stuff that I've listened to countless times that I find it unnecessary to listen to often, if at all. Still, it was great stuff and, as UM says, worthy of that attention. Perhaps there is a limit to how many times you can listen to one song.
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: It's funny, listening to your old shows, Michael, when you were constantly playing requests.
	1:42pm ndbob: ah - just listened to this yesterday
	1:42pm Jeff Golick: I feel you, @UM. And I sincerely love the idea of loving the thing regardless of -- or apart from -- baggage/context/cultural-barnacle-accretion. You do it so well every week! There are just some things that, for me, resist this unencumbered view; can't do it/see it/hear it cleanly, anew. And as @Stevel puts it above, I think I hit my limit with CSN. I can still sing all of those songs word for word in my head. I get it, I got it. Good.
	1:43pm davex: Yes, that's Kirsty of Fairytale of New York (Pogues) fame. Anyhow, just checking in briefly - enjoying the show, Michael.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Well, thank you for indulging me, Jeff!
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Simon, in a way, those Saturday night shows were difficult for me.
	1:44pm Stevel: Of course, on a late night drive across the state, I once listened to Motorhead's Ace Of Spades 26 times in a row. It still rocks.
	1:45pm pacific standard simon: By "old shows", I mean pre-WFMU -- very different kind of show.
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I didn't pander much on Thursdays...a few requests...ones I liked. On Saturdays I was nicer to people.
	1:46pm Alex In Illinois: Enjoying this Beefheart
	1:47pm Jeff Golick: Happy belated to the Captain.
	1:48pm pacific standard simon: And then the Wednesday theme shows were totally planned. You've been everywhere, done everything!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Me and Hank Snow.
	1:49pm pacific standard simon: Have you thought about adding more "out" rock to your show, Jeff?
	1:50pm pacific standard simon: Oh crap, I gotta run. Worktime!
	1:52pm tater: Listening in today UM
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Be careful out there, PSS.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Tate. On the road?
	1:53pm efd: ooh, I've always loved this song ("Hard Work Drivin' Man"). I would have sworn I played it once, but it looks like I haven't according to the playlist search.
	1:54pm tater: In the office on my phone
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: Always glad when you take the time, Tate. Thanks.
	1:59pm efd: It's from the movie Blue Collar, with Ry Cooder on guitar.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: And of course, Ry was in the Magic Band when he was like 16 or 17.
	2:04pm Alex In Illinois: Did he include "Humpin'" in that list? Yes, "Hoopin' and the Humpin'"! I heard it.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I think it was "humpin' and a dumpin'."
	2:07pm Lewis: Is this what is called the Bakersville sound? whatever it is called I really like it!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: This is...and Buck of course. Glad you do!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Justin is Ernest's oldest boy.
	2:10pm Lewis: Buck, of course! (my daughters fave briefly in early elementary school years (followed then by Jr. Brown)).
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Junior is great.
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: For some unexplained reason, Junior's being inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame this year.
	2:14pm Lewis: did they run out of Kansans?
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Perhaps!
	2:15pm Lewis: You could do a lot worse if you have to go abroad for inductees!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: I spose so.
	2:17pm glenn: poll time - what herb (s) should i put on a pizza with tomato sauce and smoked mozzarella?
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: basil
	2:19pm Mike East: oregano and basil are the obvious choices.
	2:21pm glenn: hmmmm. i thought basil, but now i'm leaning towards tarragon.
	2:21pm glenn: i'm also thinking about some lemon zest.
	2:22pm Mike East: though maybe some tarragon or sage would be fun
	2:23pm earrie: Freshly ground pepper.
	2:23pm Mike East: if you're adding lemon zest, I say tarragon would be a fine choice.
	2:25pm glenn: salt and pepper are a given.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: tarragon and lemon zest..I might forgo the tomato sauce and use some sun dried tomatoes
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: extra virgin...fresh pepper...
	2:27pm earrie: Garlic chives.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: garlic chives grow wild in my yard...but not in January
	2:29pm Mike East: boss is letting me out crazy early! yabbadabbadooooo!!! great show, UM
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: RUN MIKE!
	2:30pm earrie: I recently picked up some freeze-dried garlic chives. Not bad and fine tasting, even.
	2:30pm glenn: i don't like chives, i have to admit. not as much as i don't like capers, but still.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: thanks. :)
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: damn...I love capers...and caperberries
	2:32pm earrie: Oh Glenn - a little goat cheese spread on a water cracker with a little smoked salmon, chopped chive and capers? It's so good.
	2:33pm glenn: nope. can't do it.
	2:34pm Mike East: I'll have your portion if your not gonna eat it, glenn
	2:36pm earrie: Here's to the mix of tastes.
	2:37pm glenn: then again, people turn their noses up at my peanut butter and lime pickle sandwiches. philistines.
	2:40pm Jeff Golick: Heppy new band!
	2:41pm efd: I'm hip!
	2:41pm efd: Although to be honest I'd forgotten you said you were going to play Stray this week.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: I will extend you forgiveness.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Boogie.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Before I forget. Thanks for hanging out and listening. I warms me to the cockles. I mean that.
	2:54pm glenn: nothing beats warm shellfish.
	2:56pm listener scott: Before you go, this is the first time I stumbled on your show and you're my new favorite FMU DJ. Which I suppose makes you my favorite DJ. No pressure though.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Nah, I handle pressure with aplomb...and a plum. Thank you Scott. Happy to have the loan of your ears.
	2:58pm listener james from westwood: thanks right back atcha, UM! have a fine weekend, all!!
	2:58pm duke: Thanks UM, keep those cockles warm
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: You too, duke. Thanks.
	2:59pm Jeff Golick: 'hanx!
	3:02pm efd: Thank you for adding "to that band" after "exposing me."
	3:03pm Gary: Enjoyed the tunes!
	3:03pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: You're welcome.
	1:45am pacific standard simon: thyme just sayin', yo

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 17, 2014

View Uncle Michael's profile

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

	12:24pm duke: I'm doing quite well in my time machine, answering from the future.
	12:25pm duke: Doug's show is always great. I'll catch Gary in the archives using my time machine.
	12:25pm Present Time Gary: is doing fine, but buried under work at work (which might be why they call it work?)
	12:25pm pacific standard simon: Doin' what I can, Uncle! Missing the last hour again for bread-related reasons (probably next week, too).
	12:26pm glenn: fifteen two, fifteen four, and a double run of three makes ten.
	12:28pm glenn: apparently, and i have no way to prove this, st. louis blues is the first "blues" to be published in sheet music.
	12:29pm pacific standard simon: Actually asked to work today, so I can spend "An Afternoon With Groucho" (Frank Ferrante) tomorrow. Best one-man show ever.
	12:30pm Uncle Michael: Thank you for both bits of info, glenn! I forget my cribbage scoring.
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: @Alex The grand tech poobahs have yet to be able to fix the glitch that causes hiccups when shows changeover on the stream. Sorry about the annoyance!
	🛒 12:32pm Brian in UK: The rhyming slang for 'skyrocket' is 'pocket' over here. Bob Skyles & his Pockets does not really work. Hey.
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: Is that a skyrocket in your pocket or are you just happy to be vertical?
	12:33pm glenn: no worries. if you play me you won't be scoring any points anyway. :)
	🛒 12:34pm Brian in UK: Salutin' you too boss.
	🛒 12:36pm Brian in UK: Let's go do THE SHIRT. My trouserpress is warmed up and ready for action.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: We might one day do The Strain.
	12:39pm pacific standard simon: Trifecta: "The Strain", "Constipation Blues", and a live version of "Nothing Is Easy" where Ian gets particularly obnoxious with his grunts and groans.
	12:39pm listener james from westwood: doug, apologies if you posted this in the earlier playlist, but the PA voter id law has been overturned: thinkprogress.org...
	12:41pm glenn: don't forget "the intergalactic laxative".
	12:44pm pacific standard simon: I HAD forgotten Donovan's golden, shining moment!
	🛒 12:45pm Brian in UK: The grammar on this song is very poor.
	🛒 12:46pm Brian in UK: So is the grandad.
	12:46pm ken in denver: The Guess Who really knew how to stick it to THE MAN.
	12:47pm glenn: i love the guess who as well, but burton lost his way as soon as he left.
	12:51pm Gary: Nice! I may have missed this, but who's the woman (and now guy) singing?
	12:52pm Uncle Michael: Abbey Lincoln
	12:53pm Uncle Michael: No idea who the guy is, Gary...
	12:54pm Gary: Grazie -- great track!
	12:54pm northguineahills: I've somehow missed this Max Roach, UM. Bravo!
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: We Insist! is a pretty great album.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:56pm glenn: here's the crack smoking mayor of toronto - news.nationalpost.com... and here's the cheese wielding pervert of philadelphia news.nationalpost.com...
	12:56pm Gary: Aha! Awesome ... will read up on it
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: Must we choose?
	12:58pm Rich in Washington: What a great album this is. Sonny's swan song. So great.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: en.wikipedia.org... Check the lineup.
	12:59pm glenn: separated at birth.
	1:00pm northguineahills: this makes me want to listen to the original Space Ghost Coast to Coast theme song.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: It's probably one of my 20 all time favorite albums of all time. It's going in the box with me.
	1:01pm Doug Schulkind: Beat me to it, NGH!
	1:01pm Uncle Michael: I loved that show SO much...and that theme. I loved Cartoon Planet more though.
	1:02pm Rich in Washington: northguineahills: there's a whole EP's worth of takes on the Space Ghost theme out there.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: If I ever change my avatar...it's totally gonna be Brak.
	1:03pm northguineahills: @Rich: Really?!!! How did I miss that!!!
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: Space Ghost: Coast To Coast goo.gl...
	1:04pm Rich in Washington: Ask the Ages really needs a vinyl reissue
	1:12pm Rich in Washington: I've always said sharr-OCK. That's how I seem to recall always hearing it.
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Rich.
	1:14pm Jeff Golick: Did somebody say Sonny Sharrock?
	1:15pm efd: I had a hunch you'd be playing some 10cc today.
	1:15pm Rich in Washington: Love 10cc. Am a huge Godley & Creme fan, too.
	1:16pm duke: I have a Moltar action figure on my desk. My son gave it to me. We watched Space Ghost all the time. Ask The Ages is another one of those must have albums.
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: efd, this show was entirely in the can on Tuesday. Just sayin'!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I have a Brak animatronic AM radio. It no longer seems to animate though.
	1:21pm Dominick: I never tire of this record
	1:23pm Mike East: enjoying the show today. all over the place...in the best way.
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Mike.
	1:25pm listener james from westwood: i have recently learned that a 4-year-old of my acquaintance likes frank sinatra. likes going to sleep to him, in fact. that kid is being raised right.
	1:26pm Uncle Michael: hell yes
	1:28pm listener james from westwood: o for the days when songs had strings behind them like "galveston."
	1:29pm Jeff Golick: O my.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: Hey Jeff!
	1:30pm northguineahills: Gotta run. Thanks UM!
	1:30pm Jeff Golick: Heyo! I answered the Sonny Sharrock call a little earlier...
	1:31pm Jeff Golick: I am currently horrified by the memory of how much I once listened to my Deju Vu cassette.
	1:32pm Uncle Michael: Why should you be?
	1:32pm Jeff Golick: I am also reeling at the thought that you, UM, had this show ready to go on Tuesday.
	1:32pm Jeff Golick: I dunno, man. I think familiarity led to contempt.
	1:35pm efd: Jeff, you and me both! My show isn't even ready at 9pm on Wednesday!
	1:37pm Jeff Golick: Glad to hear it, @efd. I was actually thinking this morning that D:O Radio could probably be improved with some foresight and planning. And then I thought: nah.
	1:38pm Alex In Illinois: Kirsty MacColl died in a boating accident
	1:40pm Uncle Michael: I didn't know that. Wow. I figure my show has to be ready sometime so I try and have the last details squared away on Wednesday night usually so I can relax about it on Thursday. I'm always casually at work on the next one.
	1:40pm Stevel: There's great stuff that I've listened to countless times that I find it unnecessary to listen to often, if at all. Still, it was great stuff and, as UM says, worthy of that attention. Perhaps there is a limit to how many times you can listen to one song.
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: It's funny, listening to your old shows, Michael, when you were constantly playing requests.
	1:42pm ndbob: ah - just listened to this yesterday
	1:42pm Jeff Golick: I feel you, @UM. And I sincerely love the idea of loving the thing regardless of -- or apart from -- baggage/context/cultural-barnacle-accretion. You do it so well every week! There are just some things that, for me, resist this unencumbered view; can't do it/see it/hear it cleanly, anew. And as @Stevel puts it above, I think I hit my limit with CSN. I can still sing all of those songs word for word in my head. I get it, I got it. Good.
	1:43pm davex: Yes, that's Kirsty of Fairytale of New York (Pogues) fame. Anyhow, just checking in briefly - enjoying the show, Michael.
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Well, thank you for indulging me, Jeff!
	1:44pm Uncle Michael: Simon, in a way, those Saturday night shows were difficult for me.
	1:44pm Stevel: Of course, on a late night drive across the state, I once listened to Motorhead's Ace Of Spades 26 times in a row. It still rocks.
	1:45pm pacific standard simon: By "old shows", I mean pre-WFMU -- very different kind of show.
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I didn't pander much on Thursdays...a few requests...ones I liked. On Saturdays I was nicer to people.
	1:46pm Alex In Illinois: Enjoying this Beefheart
	1:47pm Jeff Golick: Happy belated to the Captain.
	1:48pm pacific standard simon: And then the Wednesday theme shows were totally planned. You've been everywhere, done everything!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Me and Hank Snow.
	1:49pm pacific standard simon: Have you thought about adding more "out" rock to your show, Jeff?
	1:50pm pacific standard simon: Oh crap, I gotta run. Worktime!
	1:52pm tater: Listening in today UM
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Be careful out there, PSS.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Tate. On the road?
	1:53pm efd: ooh, I've always loved this song ("Hard Work Drivin' Man"). I would have sworn I played it once, but it looks like I haven't according to the playlist search.
	1:54pm tater: In the office on my phone
	1:56pm Uncle Michael: Always glad when you take the time, Tate. Thanks.
	1:59pm efd: It's from the movie Blue Collar, with Ry Cooder on guitar.
	2:00pm Uncle Michael: And of course, Ry was in the Magic Band when he was like 16 or 17.
	2:04pm Alex In Illinois: Did he include "Humpin'" in that list? Yes, "Hoopin' and the Humpin'"! I heard it.
	2:05pm Uncle Michael: I think it was "humpin' and a dumpin'."
	2:07pm Lewis: Is this what is called the Bakersville sound? whatever it is called I really like it!
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: This is...and Buck of course. Glad you do!
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Justin is Ernest's oldest boy.
	2:10pm Lewis: Buck, of course! (my daughters fave briefly in early elementary school years (followed then by Jr. Brown)).
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: Junior is great.
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: For some unexplained reason, Junior's being inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame this year.
	2:14pm Lewis: did they run out of Kansans?
	2:14pm Uncle Michael: Perhaps!
	2:15pm Lewis: You could do a lot worse if you have to go abroad for inductees!
	2:16pm Uncle Michael: I spose so.
	2:17pm glenn: poll time - what herb (s) should i put on a pizza with tomato sauce and smoked mozzarella?
	2:18pm Uncle Michael: basil
	2:19pm Mike East: oregano and basil are the obvious choices.
	2:21pm glenn: hmmmm. i thought basil, but now i'm leaning towards tarragon.
	2:21pm glenn: i'm also thinking about some lemon zest.
	2:22pm Mike East: though maybe some tarragon or sage would be fun
	2:23pm earrie: Freshly ground pepper.
	2:23pm Mike East: if you're adding lemon zest, I say tarragon would be a fine choice.
	2:25pm glenn: salt and pepper are a given.
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: tarragon and lemon zest..I might forgo the tomato sauce and use some sun dried tomatoes
	2:26pm Uncle Michael: extra virgin...fresh pepper...
	2:27pm earrie: Garlic chives.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: garlic chives grow wild in my yard...but not in January
	2:29pm Mike East: boss is letting me out crazy early! yabbadabbadooooo!!! great show, UM
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: RUN MIKE!
	2:30pm earrie: I recently picked up some freeze-dried garlic chives. Not bad and fine tasting, even.
	2:30pm glenn: i don't like chives, i have to admit. not as much as i don't like capers, but still.
	2:30pm Uncle Michael: thanks. :)
	2:31pm Uncle Michael: damn...I love capers...and caperberries
	2:32pm earrie: Oh Glenn - a little goat cheese spread on a water cracker with a little smoked salmon, chopped chive and capers? It's so good.
	2:33pm glenn: nope. can't do it.
	2:34pm Mike East: I'll have your portion if your not gonna eat it, glenn
	2:36pm earrie: Here's to the mix of tastes.
	2:37pm glenn: then again, people turn their noses up at my peanut butter and lime pickle sandwiches. philistines.
	2:40pm Jeff Golick: Heppy new band!
	2:41pm efd: I'm hip!
	2:41pm efd: Although to be honest I'd forgotten you said you were going to play Stray this week.
	2:42pm Uncle Michael: I will extend you forgiveness.
	2:49pm Uncle Michael: Boogie.
	2:52pm Uncle Michael: Before I forget. Thanks for hanging out and listening. I warms me to the cockles. I mean that.
	2:54pm glenn: nothing beats warm shellfish.
	2:56pm listener scott: Before you go, this is the first time I stumbled on your show and you're my new favorite FMU DJ. Which I suppose makes you my favorite DJ. No pressure though.
	2:57pm Uncle Michael: Nah, I handle pressure with aplomb...and a plum. Thank you Scott. Happy to have the loan of your ears.
	2:58pm listener james from westwood: thanks right back atcha, UM! have a fine weekend, all!!
	2:58pm duke: Thanks UM, keep those cockles warm
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: You too, duke. Thanks.
	2:59pm Jeff Golick: 'hanx!
	3:02pm efd: Thank you for adding "to that band" after "exposing me."
	3:03pm Gary: Enjoyed the tunes!
	3:03pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	3:03pm Uncle Michael: You're welcome.
	1:45am pacific standard simon: thyme just sayin', yo
