	12:20pm Webhamster Henry: Play whatever you please - I'm not the DJ!
	12:20pm βrian: The B-Side is where's it's at.
	12:21pm Uncle Michael: Well if you're not...and I'm not...oh hell!
	12:21pm still b/p: Love the the ol' Mills stream. I've assumed it was probably a track of theirs that was sampled for Bath Time in Clerkenwell by The Real Tuesday Weld, but an expert would have to ID the exact piece & diddly-riff.
	12:23pm earrie: I love how turtles are miniaturized versions of their full-grown selves when they hatch.
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: You mean that phantasm will get bigger? shudder
	12:25pm Whooda: I recognize the tune but can't remember the name. Yeah, that's it playing forward now. haha
	12:26pm still b/p: I just put the peel on to a cara cara orange during the first version.
	12:26pm david from ks: ,,,,,DJUM,,,DEEVEEN!,,,wiith that hint of Merle!,,,,,uuuhh yeah! ees good for to Me. McCarney to: Money from Home!
	12:26pm earrie: Aw they're adorable. Looks like a leatherback, so huge, yeah. Turtle behaviours are very hard-wired when they bust outta their shell. When they nest, too.
	12:27pm joe: 'ello folks
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: David, are you saying that you're enjoying the program?
	12:33pm Uncle Michael: fonky
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: Hello. Joe. Whatya know?
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Cara Caras have appeal, still b/p
	12:39pm Stanley: I'm home, slippers are on. Ready to party,
	12:39pm Stanley: Hello UM and fellows.
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Hello Stanley...welcome to the slipper party. Flip your flappers.
	12:41pm Stanley: Cup of tea. anyone?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Just pour it on my shoes. It's cold in here.
	🛒 12:43pm Brian in UK: Hello UM. Is Big Joe Turner in the wings?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: No Big Joe. A jump blues set would be a good idea.
	🛒 12:47pm Brian in UK: You'll get a stiff.......neck this way.
	12:49pm joe: Beastie Boys sample "sighting"
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Did they sample the Jackson's version?
	12:55pm joe: I believe so. I believe I remember mention in the 33 1/3 book that it was and it does sound like it. I'd have to go back to the Funkadelic version and listen to it. It's been a while.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: The flute of the giant is in the library.
	1:01pm efd: present.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: HA!
	1:02pm ndbob: interesting cover here:)
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Evan, you may enjoy the next set.
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: BTO's biggest hit covered by a band from where? Are these guys Dutch?
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Yep, Nederlanders.
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: Or is that Swedish, or Norwegian?
	1:04pm Alex In Illinois: Opps, I did not see your answer while I was still typing.
	1:04pm still b/p: Google translate sez "Beer And swear unto shek" So a religious supplication apparently.
	1:05pm Stanley: lekker
	1:05pm efd: "The band was founded in the summer of 2003 by the Knoin brothers. They buy a drum kit and a couple of guitars and rehearse for months on their old farm." - Dutch Wikipedia + Google Translate
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: There shall be one token English language song in this set.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: best band origin story ever.
	1:06pm hip: That's my childhood music!!! :-) A dictartorship had fallen and 'democracy' was arising in Spain.
	🛒 1:07pm Brian in UK: Have you got the Swahili Awapbopaloobopalopbamboom?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: No, I was vaccinated before my trip.
	1:07pm hip: Sounds of freedom for other Big Lie. But people felt happy and free. Ereeees túuuuu :-D
	1:08pm Stanley: Hi Brian Actually I had that last time I went to the Thai restaurant
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: 2nd place 1973 Eurovision!
	1:09pm βrian: J'espère que tu n'oulbieras pas les francophones.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Que'?
	1:10pm Stanley: And this is the token English language song? Can't understand a word!
	1:15pm Alex In Illinois: You mean Bachman Turner Overdrive's You Aint Seen Nothin Yet
	1:15pm Webhamster Henry: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life " in Portuguese
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: The rest of my life in Portuguese...that's a nightmare I had last night.
	1:16pm efd: alright, Stray!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I'd call this '60s hangover '70s music. Real '70s music coming up.
	1:18pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello Unclites, Think the BTO cover was Ain't Seen Nothin Yet
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Thank you KfBR, yes. I'm a little scattered.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: My new prog band is called Turtle Indefatigable.
	1:20pm Stanley: Any love is good love
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: Stanley Fat White Family are the next Beatles over here.
	1:23pm Goyim in the AM: Yee-ha! The finest melody written by the most leaden drummer in rock!
	1:23pm KevinfromBayRidge: Well you're scattering quite excellently! !
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Damn right!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Fat White Family are pretty amazing.
	1:29pm Goyim in the AM: I sincerely think that the godawful rhythm section was far more of a factor in Queen never being album rock giants in the US than homophobia was. It really shows on Tie Your Mother.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: That's an interesting point. I don't think sexuality hurt them as a singles band at all.
	1:31pm pacific standard simon: That's odd -- I was just thinking that I had forgotten how absolutely HUGE Queen was in the mid-to-late '70s. Plus the bass player wrote some wonderful bass lines.
	1:34pm Goyim in the AM: They were my absolute idols until News of the World, and they felt like a cult band, and headed for the pop radio rather than album rock after that. I agree about the bass lines, but their best, funkiest stuff either had sequencers or Freddie playing the hell out of rhythm piano.
	1:34pm Alex In Illinois: I thought that Queen were album rock giants in the US. I knew a buch of people who were totally into them, starting off in elementary school. This was in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, where the Midwest meets the South.
	1:35pm Goyim in the AM: Top 40 giants, hell yes; album rock, nope.
	1:35pm Stevel: Queen's sexuality was a worst-kept secret. Guessing many knew, but many of us in the radio audience never put it together. Their near-fascist delivery (remembering a rock column that made that charge) made any 'questionable' posturing appear pretty 'manly' against the androgynous glam background.
	1:36pm Gary: Lifting my head from beneath a huge pile of work (at work).
	1:39pm Alex In Illinois: They did get lots of radio play, and in one way or another, were giants of some kind. Who would be an example of "Album Rock" giants? Is "Album Rock" the same as "AOR"?
	1:40pm SeanG: loving the variety of music
	1:41pm Goyim in the AM: AOR = Album-Oriented Rock, so yeah. Aerosmith! Sabbath! Zepplin! The Stones!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Sean.
	🛒 1:44pm Brian in UK: IT'S FREEFORM. Don't touch that dial.
	1:44pm Gary: Pissed I missed the cumbia track -- will have to listen in archives. And, since I didn't make it to the Latin music store last weekend, will go this weekend, on a 90s cumbia mission
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm sure it'll keep another week...or decade, Gary!
	🛒 1:47pm Brian in UK: I'm off to the kitchen to drink some gin.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: make sure you take a spoon for the duck gravy
	1:50pm northguineahills: Thanks UM, gotta skidaddle!
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Take care, NGH
	1:52pm glenn: unknown white powder found in new jersey.
	1:52pm still b/p: People is funny. After I jokingly suggested a particular wearable disclaimer last week when the face-crash consequences were quite visible, I just received a T-shirt, ordered and sent by a for-now anonymous friend, with up-indicating arrows and saying the very thing: "NOT A COLD SORE (Roller Skating Injury)"
	1:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: AOR stil sends chills to my spine. I was lucky enough to bond with FM during the brief golden period of commercial freeform in the early 70s. The advent of AOR was fucking BAD news, even in ny 15 year old ears. Hence the devotion to this wunnerful institution that we're all committed in or to
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: I'm with you, Kevin...'bout the same experience.
	1:56pm still b/p: ¿Que lleva más maquillaje de los ojos, Etta o Alice?
	1:57pm Goyim in the AM: Hear, hear -- but I grew up btw DC and Baltimore, so where I could make arrangements with my room antenna to get free form commercial and college stuff at home, AOR was the best choice in the car, until the brief return (and long slow awful decline) of WHFS.
	1:57pm pacific standard simon: Ditto. KSAN San Francisco in the hippie heyday.
	1:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: (cont)Hence the appreciation for this wunnerful institution that we're all committed in and to.
	1:58pm Alex In Illinois: I was going to mention something lik that, but I was afraid that if I said anything negative about AOR, people would get mad, and I did not want to do that. I was going to sa that when St. Louis radio had segregated into "Dance" verses "AOR" formats, I then entered the long "more punk/NewWave than thou" phase, and became part of a following of the 10 watt college radio station of Washington University.
	1:59pm listener james from westwood: booker t in bleeps and bloops! killer tunes thus far, UM!
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Thank you James.
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: glenn, i wonder if someone may just be "testing" the system. doesn't take much to freak the locals.
	2:03pm still b/p: Big-musical-tent FM from that period was what I also reeeeally missed...when I found FMU. For a while even thought about trying to find out if old playlists existed from WBCN Boston to satisfy the nostalgia appetite and satisfy myself that it was as eclectic as I recalled.
	2:04pm glenn: i don't know. i'm waiting for more info.
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I talked myself into another Fat White Family track.
	2:12pm ndbob: nice set here UM!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Bob.
	2:13pm Mike East: @glenn - they don't broadcast the Superbowl in Canada, do they? I'm guessing you guys couldn't care less.
	2:14pm Alex In Illinois: Big-musical-tent! What a great phrase! That is how I would describe St. Louis's KSLQ before it became "Adult contemporary" KYKY. When it was KSQL, you would hear Deep Purple, Sly Stone, Led Zeppellin, Billy Preston, BTO, Grand Funk and the Jackson 5 all in the same set.
	2:15pm Gary: Disneyland bombed, fat relatives, what's not to like?
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: I live here!
	2:22pm glenn: yeah, they broadcast it, but not the commercials, which is about the only reason to watch it, as far as i'm concerned.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: I live here too!
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: 'ang on, is this the left banke?
	2:26pm glenn: every neighbourhood should have s specialty chocolate shop. www.delightchocolate.ca
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: ah, there we go. this is what i get for listening from the kitchen.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: ...sweet jane....oh...sweet jane....
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: glenn, i want to go to there.
	2:30pm still b/p: I was just thinking mash-up ripeness.
	2:33pm Goyim in the AM: As Sweet Jane rip-offs go, this one is hypnotically delightful.
	2:34pm Mike East: loving this set
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Thanks so much, Mike.
	2:34pm duke: Jim Pepper
	2:35pm Goyim in the AM: This still gets airplay in Germany and Austria, btw.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: As well it should.
	2:36pm duke: Fridays are great - DrummerSome, Hinky Ducky, and the end of the workweek.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Now that's winning the Triple Crown.
	🛒 2:42pm Brian in UK: Queen & David Gates (Bread) two odd bedfellows on Elektra. Bit like Neil Diamond at The Band's Last Waltz.
	2:42pm Pedro G.: I think I've found my new Friday afternoon streaming work soundtrack. Thanks.
	2:43pm Goyim in the AM: Checking my history, it appears more likely that Sweet Jane was a Brewer & Shipley rip-off.
	2:43pm Goyim in the AM: ...and speaking of deserving stuff that still gets airplay in Germany and Austria...
	2:44pm Shannon: Anyone know if the Supremes' version of Witchi-Tai-To survives on the Internet?
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I dunno...Jim Pepper didn't record it till '71 so I really don't know when it was written.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: High praise, Pedro. Thank you.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I don't know Shannon but I would assume so.
	2:45pm SeanG: awesome tune!
	2:46pm Goyim in the AM: Looks like B&S version was released in mid-'69, Sweet Jane demo recorded in late '69.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Nice detective work. I suspect those chord changes weren't new in '69.
	🛒 2:48pm Brian in UK: You could do a whole show of Chip Taylor. The Boss.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: That's a hell of an idea.
	🛒 2:50pm Brian in UK: Exceptional show, Uncle Michael.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Thanks BiUK!
	🛒 2:52pm Brian in UK: The turtle thing is in time.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: He loves him some Bocephus.
	2:54pm Shannon: Mary Wilson's autobio says they recorded it in January 1969 (!)
	2:54pm earrie: Heh. Brian. Flipper dance to the ocean
	2:55pm Doug Schulkind: If hearing Hank Williams Jr on the Drummer Stream doesn't prove SOMETHING!!!, I don't know what.
	2:56pm ndbob: Yes it does Doug:)
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks! Doug, I don't think it's a first!
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: wfmu.org... nope!
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: closing with some gorgeous strings here. and voices. thanks, UM! a sweet ride.
	3:02pm still b/p: Thank you for your many blessin's upon us today.
	3:03pm Doug Schulkind: Just proving my, er, point, Uncle Michael!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 31, 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.

	12:41pm Uncle Michael: Hello Stanley...welcome to the slipper party. Flip your flappers.
	12:41pm Stanley: Cup of tea. anyone?
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Just pour it on my shoes. It's cold in here.
	🛒 12:43pm Brian in UK: Hello UM. Is Big Joe Turner in the wings?
	12:45pm Uncle Michael: No Big Joe. A jump blues set would be a good idea.
	🛒 12:47pm Brian in UK: You'll get a stiff.......neck this way.
	12:49pm joe: Beastie Boys sample "sighting"
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Did they sample the Jackson's version?
	12:55pm joe: I believe so. I believe I remember mention in the 33 1/3 book that it was and it does sound like it. I'd have to go back to the Funkadelic version and listen to it. It's been a while.
	1:00pm Uncle Michael: The flute of the giant is in the library.
	1:01pm efd: present.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: HA!
	1:02pm ndbob: interesting cover here:)
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Evan, you may enjoy the next set.
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: BTO's biggest hit covered by a band from where? Are these guys Dutch?
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Yep, Nederlanders.
	1:03pm Alex In Illinois: Or is that Swedish, or Norwegian?
	1:04pm Alex In Illinois: Opps, I did not see your answer while I was still typing.
	1:04pm still b/p: Google translate sez "Beer And swear unto shek" So a religious supplication apparently.
	1:05pm Stanley: lekker
	1:05pm efd: "The band was founded in the summer of 2003 by the Knoin brothers. They buy a drum kit and a couple of guitars and rehearse for months on their old farm." - Dutch Wikipedia + Google Translate
	1:05pm Uncle Michael: There shall be one token English language song in this set.
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: best band origin story ever.
	1:06pm hip: That's my childhood music!!! :-) A dictartorship had fallen and 'democracy' was arising in Spain.
	🛒 1:07pm Brian in UK: Have you got the Swahili Awapbopaloobopalopbamboom?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: No, I was vaccinated before my trip.
	1:07pm hip: Sounds of freedom for other Big Lie. But people felt happy and free. Ereeees túuuuu :-D
	1:08pm Stanley: Hi Brian Actually I had that last time I went to the Thai restaurant
	1:08pm Uncle Michael: 2nd place 1973 Eurovision!
	1:09pm βrian: J'espère que tu n'oulbieras pas les francophones.
	1:10pm Uncle Michael: Que'?
	1:10pm Stanley: And this is the token English language song? Can't understand a word!
	1:15pm Alex In Illinois: You mean Bachman Turner Overdrive's You Aint Seen Nothin Yet
	1:15pm Webhamster Henry: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life " in Portuguese
	1:16pm Uncle Michael: The rest of my life in Portuguese...that's a nightmare I had last night.
	1:16pm efd: alright, Stray!
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: I'd call this '60s hangover '70s music. Real '70s music coming up.
	1:18pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello Unclites, Think the BTO cover was Ain't Seen Nothin Yet
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Thank you KfBR, yes. I'm a little scattered.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: My new prog band is called Turtle Indefatigable.
	1:20pm Stanley: Any love is good love
	🛒 1:22pm Brian in UK: Stanley Fat White Family are the next Beatles over here.
	1:23pm Goyim in the AM: Yee-ha! The finest melody written by the most leaden drummer in rock!
	1:23pm KevinfromBayRidge: Well you're scattering quite excellently! !
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: Damn right!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Fat White Family are pretty amazing.
	1:29pm Goyim in the AM: I sincerely think that the godawful rhythm section was far more of a factor in Queen never being album rock giants in the US than homophobia was. It really shows on Tie Your Mother.
	1:30pm Uncle Michael: That's an interesting point. I don't think sexuality hurt them as a singles band at all.
	1:31pm pacific standard simon: That's odd -- I was just thinking that I had forgotten how absolutely HUGE Queen was in the mid-to-late '70s. Plus the bass player wrote some wonderful bass lines.
	1:34pm Goyim in the AM: They were my absolute idols until News of the World, and they felt like a cult band, and headed for the pop radio rather than album rock after that. I agree about the bass lines, but their best, funkiest stuff either had sequencers or Freddie playing the hell out of rhythm piano.
	1:34pm Alex In Illinois: I thought that Queen were album rock giants in the US. I knew a buch of people who were totally into them, starting off in elementary school. This was in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, where the Midwest meets the South.
	1:35pm Goyim in the AM: Top 40 giants, hell yes; album rock, nope.
	1:35pm Stevel: Queen's sexuality was a worst-kept secret. Guessing many knew, but many of us in the radio audience never put it together. Their near-fascist delivery (remembering a rock column that made that charge) made any 'questionable' posturing appear pretty 'manly' against the androgynous glam background.
	1:36pm Gary: Lifting my head from beneath a huge pile of work (at work).
	1:39pm Alex In Illinois: They did get lots of radio play, and in one way or another, were giants of some kind. Who would be an example of "Album Rock" giants? Is "Album Rock" the same as "AOR"?
	1:40pm SeanG: loving the variety of music
	1:41pm Goyim in the AM: AOR = Album-Oriented Rock, so yeah. Aerosmith! Sabbath! Zepplin! The Stones!
	1:42pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Sean.
	🛒 1:44pm Brian in UK: IT'S FREEFORM. Don't touch that dial.
	1:44pm Gary: Pissed I missed the cumbia track -- will have to listen in archives. And, since I didn't make it to the Latin music store last weekend, will go this weekend, on a 90s cumbia mission
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: I'm sure it'll keep another week...or decade, Gary!
	🛒 1:47pm Brian in UK: I'm off to the kitchen to drink some gin.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: make sure you take a spoon for the duck gravy
	1:50pm northguineahills: Thanks UM, gotta skidaddle!
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Take care, NGH
	1:52pm glenn: unknown white powder found in new jersey.
	1:52pm still b/p: People is funny. After I jokingly suggested a particular wearable disclaimer last week when the face-crash consequences were quite visible, I just received a T-shirt, ordered and sent by a for-now anonymous friend, with up-indicating arrows and saying the very thing: "NOT A COLD SORE (Roller Skating Injury)"
	1:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: AOR stil sends chills to my spine. I was lucky enough to bond with FM during the brief golden period of commercial freeform in the early 70s. The advent of AOR was fucking BAD news, even in ny 15 year old ears. Hence the devotion to this wunnerful institution that we're all committed in or to
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: I'm with you, Kevin...'bout the same experience.
	1:56pm still b/p: ¿Que lleva más maquillaje de los ojos, Etta o Alice?
	1:57pm Goyim in the AM: Hear, hear -- but I grew up btw DC and Baltimore, so where I could make arrangements with my room antenna to get free form commercial and college stuff at home, AOR was the best choice in the car, until the brief return (and long slow awful decline) of WHFS.
	1:57pm pacific standard simon: Ditto. KSAN San Francisco in the hippie heyday.
	1:57pm KevinfromBayRidge: (cont)Hence the appreciation for this wunnerful institution that we're all committed in and to.
	1:58pm Alex In Illinois: I was going to mention something lik that, but I was afraid that if I said anything negative about AOR, people would get mad, and I did not want to do that. I was going to sa that when St. Louis radio had segregated into "Dance" verses "AOR" formats, I then entered the long "more punk/NewWave than thou" phase, and became part of a following of the 10 watt college radio station of Washington University.
	1:59pm listener james from westwood: booker t in bleeps and bloops! killer tunes thus far, UM!
	2:01pm Uncle Michael: Thank you James.
	2:02pm listener james from westwood: glenn, i wonder if someone may just be "testing" the system. doesn't take much to freak the locals.
	2:03pm still b/p: Big-musical-tent FM from that period was what I also reeeeally missed...when I found FMU. For a while even thought about trying to find out if old playlists existed from WBCN Boston to satisfy the nostalgia appetite and satisfy myself that it was as eclectic as I recalled.
	2:04pm glenn: i don't know. i'm waiting for more info.
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: I talked myself into another Fat White Family track.
	2:12pm ndbob: nice set here UM!
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Bob.
	2:13pm Mike East: @glenn - they don't broadcast the Superbowl in Canada, do they? I'm guessing you guys couldn't care less.
	2:14pm Alex In Illinois: Big-musical-tent! What a great phrase! That is how I would describe St. Louis's KSLQ before it became "Adult contemporary" KYKY. When it was KSQL, you would hear Deep Purple, Sly Stone, Led Zeppellin, Billy Preston, BTO, Grand Funk and the Jackson 5 all in the same set.
	2:15pm Gary: Disneyland bombed, fat relatives, what's not to like?
	🛒 2:21pm Brian in UK: I live here!
	2:22pm glenn: yeah, they broadcast it, but not the commercials, which is about the only reason to watch it, as far as i'm concerned.
	2:23pm Uncle Michael: I live here too!
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: 'ang on, is this the left banke?
	2:26pm glenn: every neighbourhood should have s specialty chocolate shop. www.delightchocolate.ca
	2:26pm listener james from westwood: ah, there we go. this is what i get for listening from the kitchen.
	2:28pm Uncle Michael: ...sweet jane....oh...sweet jane....
	2:29pm listener james from westwood: glenn, i want to go to there.
	2:30pm still b/p: I was just thinking mash-up ripeness.
	2:33pm Goyim in the AM: As Sweet Jane rip-offs go, this one is hypnotically delightful.
	2:34pm Mike East: loving this set
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: Thanks so much, Mike.
	2:34pm duke: Jim Pepper
	2:35pm Goyim in the AM: This still gets airplay in Germany and Austria, btw.
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: As well it should.
	2:36pm duke: Fridays are great - DrummerSome, Hinky Ducky, and the end of the workweek.
	2:37pm Uncle Michael: Now that's winning the Triple Crown.
	🛒 2:42pm Brian in UK: Queen & David Gates (Bread) two odd bedfellows on Elektra. Bit like Neil Diamond at The Band's Last Waltz.
	2:42pm Pedro G.: I think I've found my new Friday afternoon streaming work soundtrack. Thanks.
	2:43pm Goyim in the AM: Checking my history, it appears more likely that Sweet Jane was a Brewer & Shipley rip-off.
	2:43pm Goyim in the AM: ...and speaking of deserving stuff that still gets airplay in Germany and Austria...
	2:44pm Shannon: Anyone know if the Supremes' version of Witchi-Tai-To survives on the Internet?
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: I dunno...Jim Pepper didn't record it till '71 so I really don't know when it was written.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: High praise, Pedro. Thank you.
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: I don't know Shannon but I would assume so.
	2:45pm SeanG: awesome tune!
	2:46pm Goyim in the AM: Looks like B&S version was released in mid-'69, Sweet Jane demo recorded in late '69.
	2:47pm Uncle Michael: Nice detective work. I suspect those chord changes weren't new in '69.
	🛒 2:48pm Brian in UK: You could do a whole show of Chip Taylor. The Boss.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: That's a hell of an idea.
	🛒 2:50pm Brian in UK: Exceptional show, Uncle Michael.
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Thanks BiUK!
	🛒 2:52pm Brian in UK: The turtle thing is in time.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: He loves him some Bocephus.
	2:54pm Shannon: Mary Wilson's autobio says they recorded it in January 1969 (!)
	2:54pm earrie: Heh. Brian. Flipper dance to the ocean
	2:55pm Doug Schulkind: If hearing Hank Williams Jr on the Drummer Stream doesn't prove SOMETHING!!!, I don't know what.
	2:56pm ndbob: Yes it does Doug:)
	2:56pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Thanks! Doug, I don't think it's a first!
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: wfmu.org... nope!
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: closing with some gorgeous strings here. and voices. thanks, UM! a sweet ride.
	3:02pm still b/p: Thank you for your many blessin's upon us today.
	3:03pm Doug Schulkind: Just proving my, er, point, Uncle Michael!
