Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 28, 2014 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

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.

My gateway show was Wasted Vinyl that I tuned in back in 1987, when I started living in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and communted into The City.

I remember reading about WFMU djs in some zine around '97. In '98, my job (while graduating university) was the only place w/ the bandwidth that could actually sometimes stream the primitive tinny WFMU stream at night. Moved here in 2000 for grad school, and the rest is history.

After I had lived in the Chicago for over a decade, and streaming radio stations started appearing, it was like 2005 or something, and I thought: "What was that station out of East Orange New Jersey?

I love how the sweetest, soulful-est musical moment in the movie Car Wash is accompanied by scenes of butter packets falling from the ceiling on a guy's head.

Apropos of nothing, it's likely that Queen Street has changed quite a bit since I was last there, in the 1990s. Nothing but hookers, donut shops and banks back then — and yes, I see the correlation.
