	🛒 12:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franz Beckerlee's RobinTrowerisms be in my wheelhouse : en.wikipedia.org...

	12:09pm Dominick: www.bowlinggreenmassacrefund.com
	12:09pm Marie: Howdy UM. You are great!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	12:10pm Alex In Illinois: So is a bowling green for like playing something like a cross between golf and bowling?
	12:11pm Listener Scott: @NekoCase Stop with the "Bowling Green" jokes. Don't associate me with any of this shit.
	12:11pm Lane Gray: Bowls is similar to bocce
	12:11pm Jeff Golick: All I know is, it doesn't echo. Hi.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Scott! Jeff!
	12:12pm Parq: Alex: www.nybowls.com
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: WTF is Neko's problem?
	12:13pm northguineahills: I prefer the Bowling Green in Manhattan.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:14pm ken krimstein: Way to open...
	12:15pm Parq: I don't know whether to be pleased or embarrassed with myself, but this "Bowling Green massacre" thing got past me until now.
	12:15pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: VP...you missed Alice!
	12:16pm Scraps: I don't understand. Why are people angry with Neko Case?
	12:16pm βrian: In France bowling greens are made of gravel. And the name of the game is vaguely onomatopoeic: pétanque.
	12:16pm Lane Gray: What's the Neko kerfuffle?
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Why is she pissed about Bowling Green jokes? Brian!
	12:17pm Scraps: That doesn't help....
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: I just heard about Neko here, Scraps.
	12:18pm Dean: Leave her a-l-o-o-o-ne!
	12:18pm goyim in the am: She's got a nice cover of the song, and is possibly being inundated by people letting her know they are humorously posting it. Hi folks.
	12:18pm northguineahills: Be pleased Parq. I opened up the BBC while doing lunch, and it was one of the headlines. Ignorance will keep your brain cells alive
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Dean! Goyim!
	12:19pm Lane Gray: Parq, it was easy to miss. It was one of KellyAnne's alternative facts.
	12:20pm Scraps: I know the song, on her first album....
	12:20pm Dean: Hey, Zigaboo Modeliste is performing Saturday night pretty much in my backyard: http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/02/03/audience-godfather-groove-jazz-master-classes-back-room/
	12:21pm Alex In Illinois: @Parq: THanks for the link I think even someone with severe ADD would have enjoyed that Lesley Gore tune.
	12:21pm V Priceless: @UM: I see that! Came in on "The Price of Love", which always reminds me of Bryan Ferry's slamming version
	12:22pm Listener Scott: what Goyim said re Neko. Her Twtiter acct blew up with mentions over that.
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Busy, busy busy, but Hi UM and Dinksterettes!
	12:22pm βrian: Will Berkeley be deported?
	12:24pm Scraps: mentions of WHAT?
	12:25pm Scraps: I think I'm missing a current event.....
	12:25pm goyim in the am: It's Twitter inside baseball, but basically people notified her of their cleverness. Neko is no fan of this administration.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Doctor!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Someone bring Scraps up to speed.
	12:26pm V Priceless: Glam Metal Detectives - cool!
	12:27pm Scraps: I just don't understand how Case singing a cover of Bowling Green and bugging her about it (??) are linked with her being pissed about the administration.....
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Scraps: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:29pm Listener Scott: I'm sorry UM for introducing needless confusion. Thought it was topical.
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: Howdy Uncle M, Dinklettes, Hinkletts, Chicklets, Chocolates...
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: No worries, Scott! Coel∅!
	12:31pm Scraps: THANKYOU
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Happy to oblige, Scraps.
	12:33pm Scraps: Jeez, this happened Feb 2! I was going to apologize for not being up, but my god, the speed of viral jokes spreading now...
	12:33pm Tate: listening...thanks for the good sounds on this Friday!
	12:34pm Scraps: Listener Scott, I'm sorry for not picking up a joke.
	12:36pm Scraps: (no sarcasm)
	12:37pm Scraps: (hm, so i guess i was going to apologize...!)
	12:38pm Scraps: (that is: I apologize. Whew!)
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	12:41pm doctorjazz: Take a second here to say I love the Baker, and NOW STAPLES!!!!
	12:45pm Lane Gray: Pops and his tremolo Tele. What an iconic sound
	12:47pm 67tele: hi all
	12:47pm doctorjazz: Just love that Pops Staples guitar sound. On a roll UM, Great Squeeze.
	12:48pm Wilson K: Quick recap: everything is shitty, this music is great. DANCE.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Tele!
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Wilson! YES!
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: Pops was a treasure.
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: damn, my player's all glitchy today. Wow! never heard this.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Better Stones covers than this? I think not!
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: well, devo's "satisfaction"...
	12:56pm Dean: Residents' same
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: Sisters of Mercy's "Gimme Shelter" maybe.
	12:57pm Jeff Golick: Does "Exile in Guyville" count?
	12:58pm Jeff Golick: I'm gonna say: nah.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: I was gonna let you decide anyway.
	12:59pm coelacanth∅: seems to me there are some killer rnb versions of 'stones songs, but i'm blanking out.
	1:00pm coelacanth∅: (gimme shelter being one, but i can't think of who - except Merry Clayton, and i don't love it by her)
	1:00pm Lane Gray: Sounded like the sax player from Manos
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: The Master approves!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: That's John Lurie.
	1:02pm Wilson K: I was introduced to Lemmy at the Rainbow Bar once.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Freeform means never having to say your sorry. Rich!
	1:03pm Lane Gray: NRPS Dead Flowers while we're talking Stones covers. Long live Buddy Cage
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: I can't listen to Marmaduke sing...at all...ever. I'll go with the Burritos' version.
	1:05pm Lane Gray: Would that have had Pete or Al?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Dunno!
	1:07pm 67tele: wilko j!
	1:08pm Lane Gray: Did y'all hear Buddy got his steel back that had been stolen in the 70s? Cannot imagine the heft of it
	1:09pm Lane Gray: Thank you, Boys. Buddy M could tear up a lap steel
	1:09pm coelacanth∅: that nrps cover's okay. i have a bootleg of the'dead and nrps that has a decent "connection" on it.(one of my top 20 favorite 'stones songs, probably) but i don't know...i think it's parts of each band playing together but i'm not sure. "dead flowers" is an easy song to play and sing. i've heard many excellent covers by local bands.
	1:10pm Parq: My fave Stones cover is Devo's Satisfaction. There, I said it.
	1:11pm V Priceless: dang..missed the Feelgoods too...grrrr...
	1:11pm Lane Gray: Tumbling Dice makes a good country song. But not many do it
	1:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: Parq, I vastly prefer Devo's cover to the original. And, HI UNCLE MICHAEL!
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: when trying to think of covers that i prefer to the originals, there aren't many... maybe one...satisfaction by devo. - though after a few more listenings i may prefer Cash's no expectorations.
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: - the 'stones were Fucking Great once, after all.
	1:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: I love the Rolling Stones, I just really don't ever need to hear the original of "Satisfaction" one more time ever. Devo made me love the song again. "Goat's Head Soup" is a great record when I want to feel my heart hurt in a good way. "Tattoo You" is for dancing and nostalgia.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: A great Stones cover isn't necessarily better thn the original, in my mind.
	1:19pm Dean: Forgot 'til now that Linda Ronstadt covered Tumbling Dice.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Best to forget...
	1:20pm Dean: Yeah, I know, but I actually like, even admire, Linda's old-ish records.
	1:21pm Jeff Golick: 'course, the Stones were a crack cover band themselves, and have seemingly reverted to form in their dotage.
	1:22pm Dean: Maybe we'll get a Stones' "Crazy Horses"?
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I'm not nearly as excited by their latest album as I'm expected to be.
	1:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Dean, I would totally pay good money for that.
	1:23pm Dean: And I'd love to hear Mick take a stab at "Nessun Dorma."
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: Wendy - exactly. the original is Great, but yeah, after how many hundreds of times!
	1:24pm Dean: But you know we can't always get what we want.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Neither could Kevin Costner.
	1:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: I always thought "Off the Hook" was a cover, but apparently Mick and Keith actually wrote it. It's a great song.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: UM @1:19, i know. there are many good versions though,so when i try to think of one worth mentioning i'm trying for a really special one; and it's a tough one to try to top the original when it comes to the rolling stones. (as with the beatles, black sabbath, Nilsson, King Crimson........)
	1:27pm Rich in Washington: I am on this Cheap Trick kick lately.
	1:28pm Alex In Illinois: You were mentioning covers of stones songs. There is Laibach's cover of Sympathy for the Devil. I think Angelique Kidjo has a cover of Gimme Shelter, but I actually prefer the original.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: The Laibach "Sympathy" is great!
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: the 'stones' latest is o-k.
	🛒 1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Off The Hook' - yeah - I was given a copy of 'Rolling Stones Now' w/out even a cover - very important album for me. All the R&B the Stones clued us into - sometimes forgotten how crucial they were after so many sponsored tour &tc.
	1:33pm Rich in Washington: Laibach's choice of covers has always been both frightening and hilarious.
	1:33pm Dean: That Key tune was totally channeling McCartney and the Fab Four.
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: they made great versions - though i almost always prefer the originals, when i finally hear them. i Love their suzie q!
	🛒 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Stones doing Covers was hit & miss ('My Girl'?)...unlike TheBeatles who were generally a revelation.
	1:43pm Parq: Never thought of Mick and the boys as much on covers. The best one I can think of is "Just My Imagination" and IMO, that was only pretty good.
	1:45pm Lane Gray: If Ronnie would work on his steel playing, I thought they did OK on Bob Wills is Still the King
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Their "Ain't To Proud To Beg" was pretty great.
	1:46pm Lane Gray: This song NEEDS Albert (and Emmylou)
	1:48pm Jeff Golick: "My Girl," no. But "Poison Ivy," yes.
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: they did "my girl"? ...i think their last excellent album is goats head soup and any covers they did by that time were accordingly terrible. but as late as exile they did some excellent ones. (ie "shake your hips")
	1:49pm Jeff Golick: "Mona," yes.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Goats their last excellent album? No affection for Some Girls?
	🛒 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - 'Mona' off 'Now. When the space between TheBeatles & TheWho is mooted - that's an example of something significant...
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure i could name 1 dozen good-great covers they did...in my ever-so-humble opinion! poison ivy, i wanna be your man (does that count?), time is on my side, route 66, it's all over now, love in vain....)
	1:55pm johnk77: much of stone's early interest in trad jazz +r+b via long john baldry
	1:55pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta go study 'n' shit. Have a great rest of the show, Uncle M!
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: UM, i do have some affection for some girls - but i wouldn't call it excellent.
	2:00pm Lane Gray: I'm driving so I'm not going to Google. Would that have been DeVito on steel in the submarine?
	2:00pm annie: be nice, i'm in a fragile state of mind..
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: RR, don't forget about the beatles abominations though! (act naturally; honey don't; a taste of honey; kansas city.....)
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Annie! No Lane...I should have mentioned that Joe Osborn played bass on it, though.
	🛒 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abominations? I don't follow. :)
	2:06pm doctorjazz: The best cover that is Stones associated (to me) is the Jagger/Tosh version of Don't Look Back. It's All Over Now from early Stones is quite good (but, the original is better (Valentinos)
	🛒 2:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...those 1st two maybe don't do Buck & Carl huge favors - bust 'Taste' is sublime & 'Kansas City/HeyHey' rawks. I'm of the inclination that there's something of value in every track TheBeatles did...
	2:09pm johnk77: jay dee maness played steel on that isb track per wikipedia
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: The Beatles produced some songs I don't like at all but I do like "A Taste of Honey". My pick for the worst Beatles song is "Birthday". Controversial?
	2:11pm johnk77: peter tosh and word sound power 1979 live versions of don't look back superior to studio recordings
	2:12pm Dean: "Birthday"? I never quite got the Cheap Trick/Beatles connection (other than the "Taxman" verbal allusion), but seems to me "Birthday" is a very Cheap Trick-ish Beatles tune.
	2:12pm Lane Gray: Buddy Charlton?
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'B-Day' on the lyrically empty side but a great performance & recording. There was always something.
	2:13pm Lane Gray: Yup. The guy who came after Emmons. He wrote tbis
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: yeah, taste of honey shouldn't be in there. (sublime? no!) but "kansas city"? the no.1 worst thing the beatles ever did! -i actually don't always skip over act natually and honey don't, but i can't stand kansas city and also always skip "another girl". i like "birthday".
	2:21pm johnk77: beatles to cheap trick via rick nielsen @lane hank devito was a super nice cat the 3 or 4 shows i worked w/hot band by far widest range of killer tones of any steel player i have ever seen amazing hammond sound from steel
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: kansas city is Paul trying to rock and clearly, painfully, not feeling it.
	2:23pm Lane Gray: On the 8 String Swing album, Mike Auldridge covered Almost to Tulsa greater finesse and less exuberance. The difference between a 20 year old steel player and a 42 year old Dobro player
	2:24pm coelacanth∅: ...i don't think the lyrics to birthday are as simple as face value.
	2:26pm Lane Gray: Cool, John. He was one of my influences (since Emmylou was a friend of my dad's band. And I had a crush on her)
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Who didn't?
	2:28pm Lane Gray: Is that a mandobanjo?
	🛒 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fabs' 'KansasCity' to me is a high-energy vocal tour-de-force. Paul can sound less than genuine, but vocally outstanding, whether ballads or screamers...Sometimes wonder if loving TheBeatles is cultural programming - or if it really is all there - but if the former it's too late for me...I can burn out on them for a bit, but it never lasts...
	2:29pm Parq: The thing with Beatles covers is that, at the time they were putting those albums out, they mostly still were a cover band, a bar band expected to play stuff the customers would know. I note that the Stones' first album is all covers too. While the Stones still did the occasional cover after they became huge, I don't think the F4 ever did.
	2:30pm johnk77: norton buffalo stampede supported emmylou for a few shows 1977 albert lee had just joined emmylou was overshadowed by her own band in my opinion she was a bit of a shoegazer as a front person great singer and harmony singer
	🛒 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheStones thot themselves Blues/R&B) Purists - & didn't even try to write till TheBeatles made it clear there was no choice. Then they wrote great stuff! TheBeatles had been a super-hard-working Club Band. TheBeatles stopped putting covers on their albums altogether by 'RubberSoul' (late '65) - & they soon entered their Studio Only period (they were two bands - one Live & one Experimental thru '66 - but 'Revolver' was - well - the Revolving point...)
	🛒 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Femmes dude - Ritchie? - wailin' Bass!
	2:39pm Lane Gray: John, every time I'd seen Emmylou she seemed uncomfortable as a front. Whether it was my dad's band in the 80s or when she was in front of John Starling's band (she used them for her band around 2007)
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: RR, it is a matter of taste too, of course; and i also was raised on the beatles so i cannot be completely objective. i just hear Paul, who's roots were not r&r but shmaltzy pop, trying to rock unconvincingly on that, and long tall sally, and a few others. George's roll over and John's R&R were more convincing.
	2:41pm Lane Gray: (dad's Tom Gray of the Seldom Scene: Emmylou was on a few of their records: dad just turned 75 Tuesday and is still in three bands or more)
	🛒 2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Anudder great'un Unc. Time to hit the pool.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Kevin!
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Fine show UM, thanks.
	2:45pm johnk77: @lane unfortunately i never saw the seldom scene but bonnie raitt was 1 of their biggest fans the hot band far exceeded any concept i had of live country/rock at that time thanks for vfemme selection @um
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc.
	2:45pm Santos L. Halper: @ Lane: cool. Saw the Scene a few times back in the 80s, always great and a fave for me and my pals.
	2:45pm Lane Gray: So glad I've got a phone that pulls you in. That's why I was gone a couple months. Great show!
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow Lane! @coel: Early Paul's Rawk voice excelled @ the high LittleRichard thang, while John was throatier & more Soulful. John always expressed himself emotionally - & those emotions were always complex.
	🛒 2:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not what I associate w/ Ms.Vartan. Interesting!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Yeah...it's an odd one.
	2:50pm V Priceless: Happy 70th to Dave Davies! Thanks for a fun show, Uncle M!
	2:50pm Dominick: Happy Birthday Dave Davies
	🛒 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dave Davies 70 today.
	2:51pm Scraps: :-)
	2:53pm doctorjazz: Was thinking, I don't know this early Bee Gees, thennoticed, prev unrelased, pretty nice track. Kind of aggressive for them at the time, if I remember their stuff...
	2:55pm Dominick: Mr. Murray!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: RR i've always exalted Paul for his technical abilities. it just sounds forced to me; and though i really like their LTS, it's not close to Little Richard's. ...anyway - here we are divided like the democratic party or the environmental organisations!
	2:56pm still b/p: Alternative fab facts!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: ...i think i'm just more critical. i love herman's hermits' version of kansas city, and i heard that first.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for spending the time, Hinky Dinky.
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheBeatles' covers tended dif from the originals - straight g-b-d-v, for one thing. There's no supernova of energy like LittleRichard, granted! They were already Original in that sense...& natural geniuses of Arrangement. (Their Carl Perkins Rawkabilly was maybe more faithful...) Crucial! I use to think EarlyBeatles was before Pop & Rock separated - maybe true in a way - but they were actually their own Fusion from the start... Thx UM ! 'Time you enjoyed wasting wasn't wasted.' - Lennon
	3:01pm Lane Gray: Here's my take on Beatles doing covers v. their originals: If you listen for the emotive load of the songs, they sang their own songs as if they were feeling the story; they sang and played covers as if their primary emotion was "I love this song!" So you don't feel they're feeling the song. NEITHER WERE THEY. Just dig the song because they did.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Thanks most kindly, UM!!
	3:02pm coelacanth∅: i hear albatross. what the hell you have 21 more hours!
	3:04pm Parq: That was superbly put, UM. Back atcha. Great show.
	🛒 3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lane: Point. More true later than earlier, I think - as they got nearer dropping covers.
	3:04pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle M! good conversing RRabbit and others! good point Lane.
	3:04pm Stanley: Yup.
	3:04pm Lane Gray: Now off to the iPlayer for the News Quiz
	3:08pm Jeff Golick: Can't believe you got out of there without playing Stones or Beatles....
	3:27pm Doug Schulkind: Go go go go, Uncle Michael, go!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 3, 2017

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.

	12:09pm Listener Scott: RIP Bowling Green.

	12:09pm Marie: Howdy UM. You are great!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: NGH!
	12:10pm Alex In Illinois: So is a bowling green for like playing something like a cross between golf and bowling?
	12:11pm Listener Scott: @NekoCase Stop with the "Bowling Green" jokes. Don't associate me with any of this shit.
	12:11pm Lane Gray: Bowls is similar to bocce
	12:11pm Jeff Golick: All I know is, it doesn't echo. Hi.
	12:12pm Uncle Michael: Scott! Jeff!
	12:12pm Parq: Alex: www.nybowls.com
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: WTF is Neko's problem?
	12:13pm northguineahills: I prefer the Bowling Green in Manhattan.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: Marie!
	12:14pm ken krimstein: Way to open...
	12:15pm Parq: I don't know whether to be pleased or embarrassed with myself, but this "Bowling Green massacre" thing got past me until now.
	12:15pm V Priceless: Hey Uncle M!
	12:15pm Uncle Michael: VP...you missed Alice!
	12:16pm Scraps: I don't understand. Why are people angry with Neko Case?
	12:16pm βrian: In France bowling greens are made of gravel. And the name of the game is vaguely onomatopoeic: pétanque.
	12:16pm Lane Gray: What's the Neko kerfuffle?
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: Why is she pissed about Bowling Green jokes? Brian!
	12:17pm Scraps: That doesn't help....
	12:18pm Uncle Michael: I just heard about Neko here, Scraps.
	12:18pm Dean: Leave her a-l-o-o-o-ne!
	12:18pm goyim in the am: She's got a nice cover of the song, and is possibly being inundated by people letting her know they are humorously posting it. Hi folks.
	12:18pm northguineahills: Be pleased Parq. I opened up the BBC while doing lunch, and it was one of the headlines. Ignorance will keep your brain cells alive
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Dean! Goyim!
	12:19pm Lane Gray: Parq, it was easy to miss. It was one of KellyAnne's alternative facts.
	12:20pm Scraps: I know the song, on her first album....
	12:20pm Dean: Hey, Zigaboo Modeliste is performing Saturday night pretty much in my backyard: http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/02/03/audience-godfather-groove-jazz-master-classes-back-room/
	12:21pm Alex In Illinois: @Parq: THanks for the link I think even someone with severe ADD would have enjoyed that Lesley Gore tune.
	12:21pm V Priceless: @UM: I see that! Came in on "The Price of Love", which always reminds me of Bryan Ferry's slamming version
	12:22pm Listener Scott: what Goyim said re Neko. Her Twtiter acct blew up with mentions over that.
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Busy, busy busy, but Hi UM and Dinksterettes!
	12:22pm βrian: Will Berkeley be deported?
	12:24pm Scraps: mentions of WHAT?
	12:25pm Scraps: I think I'm missing a current event.....
	12:25pm goyim in the am: It's Twitter inside baseball, but basically people notified her of their cleverness. Neko is no fan of this administration.
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: Doctor!
	12:26pm Uncle Michael: Someone bring Scraps up to speed.
	12:26pm V Priceless: Glam Metal Detectives - cool!
	12:27pm Scraps: I just don't understand how Case singing a cover of Bowling Green and bugging her about it (??) are linked with her being pissed about the administration.....
	12:28pm Uncle Michael: Scraps: en.wikipedia.org...
	12:29pm Listener Scott: I'm sorry UM for introducing needless confusion. Thought it was topical.
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: Howdy Uncle M, Dinklettes, Hinkletts, Chicklets, Chocolates...
	12:31pm Uncle Michael: No worries, Scott! Coel∅!
	12:31pm Scraps: THANKYOU
	12:32pm Uncle Michael: Happy to oblige, Scraps.
	12:33pm Scraps: Jeez, this happened Feb 2! I was going to apologize for not being up, but my god, the speed of viral jokes spreading now...
	12:33pm Tate: listening...thanks for the good sounds on this Friday!
	12:34pm Scraps: Listener Scott, I'm sorry for not picking up a joke.
	12:36pm Scraps: (no sarcasm)
	12:37pm Scraps: (hm, so i guess i was going to apologize...!)
	12:38pm Scraps: (that is: I apologize. Whew!)
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: Tate!
	12:41pm doctorjazz: Take a second here to say I love the Baker, and NOW STAPLES!!!!
	12:45pm Lane Gray: Pops and his tremolo Tele. What an iconic sound
	12:47pm 67tele: hi all
	12:47pm doctorjazz: Just love that Pops Staples guitar sound. On a roll UM, Great Squeeze.
	12:48pm Wilson K: Quick recap: everything is shitty, this music is great. DANCE.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Tele!
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: Wilson! YES!
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: Pops was a treasure.
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: damn, my player's all glitchy today. Wow! never heard this.
	12:51pm Uncle Michael: Better Stones covers than this? I think not!
	12:55pm coelacanth∅: well, devo's "satisfaction"...
	12:56pm Dean: Residents' same
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: Sisters of Mercy's "Gimme Shelter" maybe.
	12:57pm Jeff Golick: Does "Exile in Guyville" count?
	12:58pm Jeff Golick: I'm gonna say: nah.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: I was gonna let you decide anyway.
	12:59pm coelacanth∅: seems to me there are some killer rnb versions of 'stones songs, but i'm blanking out.
	1:00pm coelacanth∅: (gimme shelter being one, but i can't think of who - except Merry Clayton, and i don't love it by her)
	1:00pm Lane Gray: Sounded like the sax player from Manos
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: The Master approves!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: That's John Lurie.
	1:02pm Wilson K: I was introduced to Lemmy at the Rainbow Bar once.
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Freeform means never having to say your sorry. Rich!
	1:03pm Lane Gray: NRPS Dead Flowers while we're talking Stones covers. Long live Buddy Cage
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: I can't listen to Marmaduke sing...at all...ever. I'll go with the Burritos' version.
	1:05pm Lane Gray: Would that have had Pete or Al?
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Dunno!
	1:07pm 67tele: wilko j!
	1:08pm Lane Gray: Did y'all hear Buddy got his steel back that had been stolen in the 70s? Cannot imagine the heft of it
	1:09pm Lane Gray: Thank you, Boys. Buddy M could tear up a lap steel
	1:09pm coelacanth∅: that nrps cover's okay. i have a bootleg of the'dead and nrps that has a decent "connection" on it.(one of my top 20 favorite 'stones songs, probably) but i don't know...i think it's parts of each band playing together but i'm not sure. "dead flowers" is an easy song to play and sing. i've heard many excellent covers by local bands.
	1:10pm Parq: My fave Stones cover is Devo's Satisfaction. There, I said it.
	1:11pm V Priceless: dang..missed the Feelgoods too...grrrr...
	1:11pm Lane Gray: Tumbling Dice makes a good country song. But not many do it
	1:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: Parq, I vastly prefer Devo's cover to the original. And, HI UNCLE MICHAEL!
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: when trying to think of covers that i prefer to the originals, there aren't many... maybe one...satisfaction by devo. - though after a few more listenings i may prefer Cash's no expectorations.
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: - the 'stones were Fucking Great once, after all.
	1:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: I love the Rolling Stones, I just really don't ever need to hear the original of "Satisfaction" one more time ever. Devo made me love the song again. "Goat's Head Soup" is a great record when I want to feel my heart hurt in a good way. "Tattoo You" is for dancing and nostalgia.
	1:19pm Uncle Michael: A great Stones cover isn't necessarily better thn the original, in my mind.
	1:19pm Dean: Forgot 'til now that Linda Ronstadt covered Tumbling Dice.
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Best to forget...
	1:20pm Dean: Yeah, I know, but I actually like, even admire, Linda's old-ish records.
	1:21pm Jeff Golick: 'course, the Stones were a crack cover band themselves, and have seemingly reverted to form in their dotage.
	1:22pm Dean: Maybe we'll get a Stones' "Crazy Horses"?
	1:23pm Uncle Michael: I'm not nearly as excited by their latest album as I'm expected to be.
	1:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Dean, I would totally pay good money for that.
	1:23pm Dean: And I'd love to hear Mick take a stab at "Nessun Dorma."
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: Wendy - exactly. the original is Great, but yeah, after how many hundreds of times!
	1:24pm Dean: But you know we can't always get what we want.
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: Neither could Kevin Costner.
	1:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: I always thought "Off the Hook" was a cover, but apparently Mick and Keith actually wrote it. It's a great song.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: UM @1:19, i know. there are many good versions though,so when i try to think of one worth mentioning i'm trying for a really special one; and it's a tough one to try to top the original when it comes to the rolling stones. (as with the beatles, black sabbath, Nilsson, King Crimson........)
	1:27pm Rich in Washington: I am on this Cheap Trick kick lately.
	1:28pm Alex In Illinois: You were mentioning covers of stones songs. There is Laibach's cover of Sympathy for the Devil. I think Angelique Kidjo has a cover of Gimme Shelter, but I actually prefer the original.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: The Laibach "Sympathy" is great!
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: the 'stones' latest is o-k.
	🛒 1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Off The Hook' - yeah - I was given a copy of 'Rolling Stones Now' w/out even a cover - very important album for me. All the R&B the Stones clued us into - sometimes forgotten how crucial they were after so many sponsored tour &tc.
	1:33pm Rich in Washington: Laibach's choice of covers has always been both frightening and hilarious.
	1:33pm Dean: That Key tune was totally channeling McCartney and the Fab Four.
	1:34pm coelacanth∅: they made great versions - though i almost always prefer the originals, when i finally hear them. i Love their suzie q!
	🛒 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Stones doing Covers was hit & miss ('My Girl'?)...unlike TheBeatles who were generally a revelation.
	1:43pm Parq: Never thought of Mick and the boys as much on covers. The best one I can think of is "Just My Imagination" and IMO, that was only pretty good.
	1:45pm Lane Gray: If Ronnie would work on his steel playing, I thought they did OK on Bob Wills is Still the King
	1:46pm Uncle Michael: Their "Ain't To Proud To Beg" was pretty great.
	1:46pm Lane Gray: This song NEEDS Albert (and Emmylou)
	1:48pm Jeff Golick: "My Girl," no. But "Poison Ivy," yes.
	1:48pm coelacanth∅: they did "my girl"? ...i think their last excellent album is goats head soup and any covers they did by that time were accordingly terrible. but as late as exile they did some excellent ones. (ie "shake your hips")
	1:49pm Jeff Golick: "Mona," yes.
	1:50pm Uncle Michael: Goats their last excellent album? No affection for Some Girls?
	🛒 1:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - 'Mona' off 'Now. When the space between TheBeatles & TheWho is mooted - that's an example of something significant...
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure i could name 1 dozen good-great covers they did...in my ever-so-humble opinion! poison ivy, i wanna be your man (does that count?), time is on my side, route 66, it's all over now, love in vain....)
	1:55pm johnk77: much of stone's early interest in trad jazz +r+b via long john baldry
	1:55pm Doug Schulkind: Gotta go study 'n' shit. Have a great rest of the show, Uncle M!
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: UM, i do have some affection for some girls - but i wouldn't call it excellent.
	2:00pm Lane Gray: I'm driving so I'm not going to Google. Would that have been DeVito on steel in the submarine?
	2:00pm annie: be nice, i'm in a fragile state of mind..
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: RR, don't forget about the beatles abominations though! (act naturally; honey don't; a taste of honey; kansas city.....)
	2:02pm Uncle Michael: Annie! No Lane...I should have mentioned that Joe Osborn played bass on it, though.
	🛒 2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abominations? I don't follow. :)
	2:06pm doctorjazz: The best cover that is Stones associated (to me) is the Jagger/Tosh version of Don't Look Back. It's All Over Now from early Stones is quite good (but, the original is better (Valentinos)
	🛒 2:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...those 1st two maybe don't do Buck & Carl huge favors - bust 'Taste' is sublime & 'Kansas City/HeyHey' rawks. I'm of the inclination that there's something of value in every track TheBeatles did...
	2:09pm johnk77: jay dee maness played steel on that isb track per wikipedia
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: The Beatles produced some songs I don't like at all but I do like "A Taste of Honey". My pick for the worst Beatles song is "Birthday". Controversial?
	2:11pm johnk77: peter tosh and word sound power 1979 live versions of don't look back superior to studio recordings
	2:12pm Dean: "Birthday"? I never quite got the Cheap Trick/Beatles connection (other than the "Taxman" verbal allusion), but seems to me "Birthday" is a very Cheap Trick-ish Beatles tune.
	2:12pm Lane Gray: Buddy Charlton?
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'B-Day' on the lyrically empty side but a great performance & recording. There was always something.
	2:13pm Lane Gray: Yup. The guy who came after Emmons. He wrote tbis
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: yeah, taste of honey shouldn't be in there. (sublime? no!) but "kansas city"? the no.1 worst thing the beatles ever did! -i actually don't always skip over act natually and honey don't, but i can't stand kansas city and also always skip "another girl". i like "birthday".
	2:21pm johnk77: beatles to cheap trick via rick nielsen @lane hank devito was a super nice cat the 3 or 4 shows i worked w/hot band by far widest range of killer tones of any steel player i have ever seen amazing hammond sound from steel
	2:22pm coelacanth∅: kansas city is Paul trying to rock and clearly, painfully, not feeling it.
	2:23pm Lane Gray: On the 8 String Swing album, Mike Auldridge covered Almost to Tulsa greater finesse and less exuberance. The difference between a 20 year old steel player and a 42 year old Dobro player
	2:24pm coelacanth∅: ...i don't think the lyrics to birthday are as simple as face value.
	2:26pm Lane Gray: Cool, John. He was one of my influences (since Emmylou was a friend of my dad's band. And I had a crush on her)
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: Who didn't?
	2:28pm Lane Gray: Is that a mandobanjo?
	🛒 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fabs' 'KansasCity' to me is a high-energy vocal tour-de-force. Paul can sound less than genuine, but vocally outstanding, whether ballads or screamers...Sometimes wonder if loving TheBeatles is cultural programming - or if it really is all there - but if the former it's too late for me...I can burn out on them for a bit, but it never lasts...
	2:29pm Parq: The thing with Beatles covers is that, at the time they were putting those albums out, they mostly still were a cover band, a bar band expected to play stuff the customers would know. I note that the Stones' first album is all covers too. While the Stones still did the occasional cover after they became huge, I don't think the F4 ever did.
	2:30pm johnk77: norton buffalo stampede supported emmylou for a few shows 1977 albert lee had just joined emmylou was overshadowed by her own band in my opinion she was a bit of a shoegazer as a front person great singer and harmony singer
	🛒 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheStones thot themselves Blues/R&B) Purists - & didn't even try to write till TheBeatles made it clear there was no choice. Then they wrote great stuff! TheBeatles had been a super-hard-working Club Band. TheBeatles stopped putting covers on their albums altogether by 'RubberSoul' (late '65) - & they soon entered their Studio Only period (they were two bands - one Live & one Experimental thru '66 - but 'Revolver' was - well - the Revolving point...)
	🛒 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Femmes dude - Ritchie? - wailin' Bass!
	2:39pm Lane Gray: John, every time I'd seen Emmylou she seemed uncomfortable as a front. Whether it was my dad's band in the 80s or when she was in front of John Starling's band (she used them for her band around 2007)
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: RR, it is a matter of taste too, of course; and i also was raised on the beatles so i cannot be completely objective. i just hear Paul, who's roots were not r&r but shmaltzy pop, trying to rock unconvincingly on that, and long tall sally, and a few others. George's roll over and John's R&R were more convincing.
	2:41pm Lane Gray: (dad's Tom Gray of the Seldom Scene: Emmylou was on a few of their records: dad just turned 75 Tuesday and is still in three bands or more)
	🛒 2:43pm KevinfromBayRidge: Anudder great'un Unc. Time to hit the pool.
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Kevin!
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Fine show UM, thanks.
	2:45pm johnk77: @lane unfortunately i never saw the seldom scene but bonnie raitt was 1 of their biggest fans the hot band far exceeded any concept i had of live country/rock at that time thanks for vfemme selection @um
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Doc.
	2:45pm Santos L. Halper: @ Lane: cool. Saw the Scene a few times back in the 80s, always great and a fave for me and my pals.
	2:45pm Lane Gray: So glad I've got a phone that pulls you in. That's why I was gone a couple months. Great show!
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow Lane! @coel: Early Paul's Rawk voice excelled @ the high LittleRichard thang, while John was throatier & more Soulful. John always expressed himself emotionally - & those emotions were always complex.
	🛒 2:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not what I associate w/ Ms.Vartan. Interesting!
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Yeah...it's an odd one.
	2:50pm V Priceless: Happy 70th to Dave Davies! Thanks for a fun show, Uncle M!
	2:50pm Dominick: Happy Birthday Dave Davies

	2:51pm Scraps: :-)
	2:53pm doctorjazz: Was thinking, I don't know this early Bee Gees, thennoticed, prev unrelased, pretty nice track. Kind of aggressive for them at the time, if I remember their stuff...
	2:55pm Dominick: Mr. Murray!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: RR i've always exalted Paul for his technical abilities. it just sounds forced to me; and though i really like their LTS, it's not close to Little Richard's. ...anyway - here we are divided like the democratic party or the environmental organisations!
	2:56pm still b/p: Alternative fab facts!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: ...i think i'm just more critical. i love herman's hermits' version of kansas city, and i heard that first.
	2:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for spending the time, Hinky Dinky.
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheBeatles' covers tended dif from the originals - straight g-b-d-v, for one thing. There's no supernova of energy like LittleRichard, granted! They were already Original in that sense...& natural geniuses of Arrangement. (Their Carl Perkins Rawkabilly was maybe more faithful...) Crucial! I use to think EarlyBeatles was before Pop & Rock separated - maybe true in a way - but they were actually their own Fusion from the start... Thx UM ! 'Time you enjoyed wasting wasn't wasted.' - Lennon
	3:01pm Lane Gray: Here's my take on Beatles doing covers v. their originals: If you listen for the emotive load of the songs, they sang their own songs as if they were feeling the story; they sang and played covers as if their primary emotion was "I love this song!" So you don't feel they're feeling the song. NEITHER WERE THEY. Just dig the song because they did.
	3:01pm listener james from westwood: Thanks most kindly, UM!!
	3:02pm coelacanth∅: i hear albatross. what the hell you have 21 more hours!
	3:04pm Parq: That was superbly put, UM. Back atcha. Great show.
	🛒 3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lane: Point. More true later than earlier, I think - as they got nearer dropping covers.
	3:04pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Uncle M! good conversing RRabbit and others! good point Lane.

	3:04pm Lane Gray: Now off to the iPlayer for the News Quiz
