WFMU: Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 8, 2017

Listener comments!
	7:22am ausmanx: i was perhaps hoping the graphic today was a veiled allusion to the great UK Sausage Roll nativity controversy... good evening, Uncle M
	7:42am Uncle Michael: Aus! I don't know what that is, but yes...it is!
	7:45am ausmanx: "Earlier this week, the UK high-street baker Greggs was labelled “sick” and faced boycotts after picturing a sausage roll in the Nativity scene to advertise its Advent calendar. Now some have pointed out that “Lord Jesus”, who is usually depicted in the crib in the Christian scene, remarkably spells “Susejd rol” backwards"
	7:50am doctorjazz: Hey, checking in! (great concert tomorrow night, Microscopnc Septet, Jazz Passengers, and Kamakaze Ground Crew, psyched). Got to see Nels Cline and The Autumn Defense last weekend, who put on a show in my FRIEND'S LIVING ROOM (he's friendly with many of the Wilco members). It was cool.
	7:53am ausmanx: doctor jazz, living room gigs are the only way to go these days, i reckon! chris corsano did two nights at my house this year, and peter brotzmann is doing two nights next year. you need to let lots of people in, though! no food allowed
	8:01am doctorjazz: @ausmanx, they are great! I'd love to get to your house for those shows (Brontzmann!!!!), though I believe you're not geographically convenient to us New Jersey-ites! As for local living room gigs, I don't know of many in the NY area. There's a classical series that happens called GroupMuse which happens all over the NYC area (much in the boros), but generally difficult for me to get to. I'd love to find out about some more stuff (concert going in Manhattan is such an expensive hassle...)
	8:07am ausmanx: it's become pretty big here with sites like this parlourgigs.com i don't use them as i have my own list after 9 years, but there's gotta be a big market where you are, surely? i know phill niblock's still doing his loft events (he has a bunch this month, i know, including henry flynt, which i'm very envious of)
	8:16am doctorjazz: Googled it a bit-the Phil Niblock site show some shows from 2007, and some international stuff, not much here. Must be some around, but I only know of the classical series, GroupMuse (which likely means I'm just out of the loop). Certainly the living room set has an intimacy and connection to the music hard to get in a club or concert venue (my friend is in Philadelphia, 1.5-2 hours from me; I think some more does go on there).
	8:25am ausmanx: here's the phill stuff www.experimentalintermedia.org...
	8:41am doctorjazz: Thanks for that link, looks like interesting stuff!
	8:45am Alessandro from italy: ... remember the Emperor through the night on the "great 208" radio Luxembourg...
	8:50am Uncle Michael: Doc! Allesandro!
	8:52am Rich in NC: good morning all---hey Uncle Michael
	8:52am Uncle Michael: Rich!
	8:53am Uncle Michael: Where in Italy, Allessandro?
	8:55am Alessandro from italy: Milan, uncle..
	8:57am Uncle Michael: Welcome to the show. The real thing starts in a few minutes. I wondered if you were from Palermo and brother to Bruno and Mirko...
	9:00am Alessandro from italy: LOVE Palermo..... sea and sun !!! I live in the gray and cold Milano
	9:02am Roberto: Time to get UNKY!
	9:03am annie: i'm here, sorry to miss the pre-show show, i was being hypnotized by jazzy arrangements of christmas tunes.. i crawled out of that stupor....
	9:06am Rich in Washington: Greetings, UM, fellow Hinkyites!
	9:06am Uncle Michael: Roberto! Annie! Rich!
	9:07am listener james from westwood: Good morning, UM and all!
	9:07am Uncle Michael: James!
	9:09am Uncle Michael: (unfortunate 1989 drum sound)
	9:12am Stevel: Where in this Hellscape that we call America am I?
	9:12am Uncle Michael: Steve!
	9:16am still b/p: Fortunate organ for the ages back there in the Apricot Brandy. Good morning Hinky Dinky doers.
	9:18am Stanley: Made it.
	9:20am annie: we are getting covered by the first snow of the sason here. coming down steadily, too, since early this morning.. looks ike a couple of inches, very sloppy driving, judging from some pics i've seen on FB.
	9:20am annie: [season]
	9:20am V Priceless: Heya Uncle M!
	9:21am Roberto: Give the Victimized Drummer Some
	9:22am still b/p: Language Removal sounded like early quiet warmups for Floyd's Several Species of Small Furry Animals etc.
	9:22am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, UM, and Hinkys et Dinkys. Ruby, cut the shite.
	9:23am Uncle Michael: SBP! Stanley! VP! Sem! Stay safe, Annie.
	9:24am still b/p: The line about the gun and putting her in the ground somehow escaped my attention when I was a kid.
	9:24am Velvet Frog: Man, I've heard, but never listened to this song before (Ruby). Upsetting.
	9:26am Uncle Michael: Frog!
	9:27am mauri: when slush is on my face.
	9:27am Uncle Michael: It's dark, VF. Yes.
	9:29am Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	9:37am annie: i'm hanging the pictures on the walls today UM, not leaving the bldg until tomorrow.. whew!
	9:38am Uncle Michael: I'll try not to make you hang 'em crooked.
	9:41am Mr C: He lived in Philly...these Oscar records were big on WDAS..
	9:42am still b/p: Snow comes to Maine tomorrow. They gots snow all the way down to the Texas-Mexico border today! The "wall" can be snow-fort style!
	9:43am The Oscar: You got that right! Mornin' all!
	9:43am David D: Snowy greetings from over here as well...
	9:44am Listener Robert: This is the time of year for "Ghost Riders in the Sky", it being a musical representation of the Wild Hunt.
	9:47am listener james from westwood: I don't know how to best pronounce it either, but damned if those mutants didn't put down a groovy sound.
	9:47am Mr C: Michael, when are you switching back slots w/Doug?
	9:48am Mike East: Baby!
	9:48am Uncle Michael: Mr. C! Thanks for the 411. Oscar! Mr. C, next week is the last mixed up week.
	9:48am Uncle Michael: Robert! David!
	9:49am Parq: Love all versions of "Baby". Saw a video of Gal Costa performing it relatively recently, and for some reason she ends it by singing the title phrase from "Diana".
	9:49am Uncle Michael: Mike!
	9:49am listener james from westwood: Lonnie!
	9:50am Uncle Michael: Parq!
	9:53am The Oscar: Lonnie has an art installation at Mass MoCa out in western Mass (as does Laurie Anderson). I need to get out there ASAP.
	9:57am still b/p: It took me about 15 years from its opening to get to Mass MoCA the first time. ("Gotta get down there...gotta get down there...") I hope it ain't another 15 before a happy revisit.
	10:01am David D: The Yawpers will be in Dresden and Berlin this coming spring, but not Leipzig. What gives, Yawpers?
	10:02am Uncle Michael: David, Boy in a Well is just an amazing record. Go see them!
	10:04am doctorjazz: Bobby D! Great stuff! Been in and out (the usual, working), was at Mass MoCa this spring, really liked it.
	10:06am Asheville Jon: morning everyone
	10:08am Scraps deSelby: boobeeboobeeboobeeboobooboo, h’lo
	10:12am Uncle Michael: Jon! Scraps!
	10:12am doctorjazz: h'lo Scraps!
	10:13am doctorjazz: (set up my alley-developed my appreciation for Blossom Deary on fmu).
	10:14am still b/p: Love The Continental...but fleeting reminders always drop in of Allen Sherman's take on it: The Painless Dentist.
	10:25am Webhamster Henry: Theres a bit of The Continental in this Julius Monk revue song by Ronnie Graham : "Doin' the Psychoneurotique" jhhl.net...
	10:26am Roberto: YAS Laura!
	10:27am Uncle Michael: Henry!
	10:29am The Oscar: The thing I've never figured out about Laura Nyro is how she could write songs with such experimental structure and dark lyrics, yet still have them come off as perfect pop. She was so great.
	10:32am hyde: good morning!
	10:33am hyde: i love eric blore
	10:35am Uncle Michael: Hyde! Me too!
	10:37am northguineahills: They need to remake the Gay Divorcee w/ today's intended meaning.
	10:37am Jeff Golick: Better late than never, though looks like I've missed the first half of an all-time great one.
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Starring Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton?
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	10:40am The Oscar: Even though they're literally nothing alike, I always have to take a moment to parse the difference between Ronnie Lane and Robin Lane.
	10:40am hyde: i don't know that Ronnie Lane LP. i need that.
	10:40am Webhamster Henry: Cole Porter: "Don't inquire of Georgie Raft Why his cow has never calved - Georgie's bull is beautiful but he's gay." -- and so was Georgie.
	10:41am Uncle Michael: Beautiful, Henry!
	10:42am Webhamster Henry: Well, maybe not, but the closet was deep back then.
	10:42am Uncle Michael: right, Hyde?
	10:46am northguineahills: @UM:That works!
	10:49am still b/p: If Raft wanted a secret kept, I think one's nose or even life would be at risk if one was indiscreet with the secret.
	10:53am northguineahills: I would never have guessed this is Tortoise and I listened to this album back in October.
	10:58am doctorjazz: www.amazon.com... (that Ronnie Lane album must be fairly rare, at least judging from the price on Amazon...)
	10:59am doctorjazz: www.discogs.com... (not quite as bad on Discogs...)
	10:59am northguineahills: Cumbiambara!
	11:01am northguineahills: almost more chopped and screwed then rebajada. (the first one).
	11:01am listener james from westwood: Now this is a cumbia blend I would not have expected!
	11:05am northguineahills: Well, I've seen a lot of mario imagery (clothes, graffiti, etc in Mexico).
	11:08am northguineahills: Cumbia rebajada dub!
	11:09am Asheville Jon: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk bagpipes!! my ears!!!!!!!!!!
	11:09am Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Uncle Michael and all hinkydinks! I have one last paper to write and thus will not be doing Give the Drummer Some today. Thatcher Keat is back filling in with his show Rancho Thatchmo.
	11:10am Henry: love the pipes!
	11:10am Uncle Michael: Brother Doug!
	11:10am Uncle Michael: Henry!
	11:10am redkayak: This is awesome.....More bagpipes!
	11:11am Uncle Michael: Red!
	11:11am Jeff Golick: Questionable priorities, @Doug. But...ok.
	11:11am Uncle Michael: Playlist a la Thatchmo: wfmu.org...
	11:11am redkayak: @UM Ahoy Captain :)
	11:12am Uncle Michael: no idea who the Irishman is....
	11:13am Roberto: Musica Gallega! Que diferente.
	11:16am doctorjazz: 1 more paper, then Christmas break? You can do it, Doug!
	11:16am still b/p: It's a seasonal set: O Come All Ye Cumbias.
	11:19am Alex in Illinois: Dub cumbia. I like this better than dub reggae.
	11:21am Listener Robert: "Tycho" sounds like the theme music of a British spy program on TV around the time you have it as coming out.
	11:25am Artie: Final lap, Doug. Heave-ho!
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Alex! Artie!
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Robert!
	11:28am The Oscar: Aw, Jonathan!!
	11:28am Parq: I had hoped to become dignified and old. One of of two is okay, I guess.
	11:29am Uncle Michael: I hear that.
	11:30am northguineahills: I first heard this Modern Lovers track via Sloan.
	11:30am The Oscar: My dad gave me this album maybe a week after I got my driver's license, which is maybe the ideal time and circumstance to receive it.
	11:30am Parq: Remember the "Dignity -- always dignity!" scene from "Singin' In the Rain"? 'Nuff said.
	11:32am V Priceless: Mott!
	11:33am still b/p: Is there a song coming up for a middle-aged ever-more-sore shoulder?
	11:34am Parq: Still -- maybe "You're gonna carry that weight a long time".
	11:36am still b/p: It made my slumber not so golden this morning, I tell ya.
	11:36am Artie: "Take a load off b/p, take a load for free..."
	11:40am Sem Chumbo: Wow, wow. Haven't heard this in some time. Much obliged, UM.
	11:40am annie: i had shut the comments down so FireFox doesn't freak out, i had to come back on here to say that this is one of those shows' episodes i'm going to clicky star... what a great morning UM!!! and the snow here is still coming down pretty heavy.. very cool, indeed. !! i know it's close to 4 inches by now...
	11:42am Uncle Michael: Thanks so much, Annie. I'm happy when I'm with you (all).
	11:42am Uncle Michael: Which, Sem?
	11:43am doctorjazz: Just saw the Nat King Cole bio on Netflix; interesting (but really didn't get in too deeply). Usually just watch these things for the music.
	11:43am still b/p: If these last two don't get a blue ribbon at the Segue Fair, I don't know what would.
	11:44am doctorjazz: (Cole really has some voice and style-totally eclipsed that he was a fine jazz pianist)
	11:47am The Oscar: @stil I would totally go to the Segue Fair.
	11:48am doctorjazz: Fine show, UM, loved it, thanks!
	11:49am Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone. Nobody leave!
	11:50am still b/p: Quentin! Scaaaary!
	11:51am The Oscar: I've been watching Dark Shadows on Hulu every morning with my breakfast, but they took out the chunk from the middle where I was at and now I don't know what to do with my mornings.
	11:53am still b/p: Remember Quentin's sideburns? Scaaaaary!
	11:53am Sem Chumbo: Both mental Astronaut AND Nat King Cole. Twofer, as it turned out!
	11:54am northguineahills: Thanks for the hinky dinky!
	11:54am The Oscar: @still I didn't even make it to Quentin! I just managed to get past the loooong stretch where they're in 1795.
	11:56am hyde: thanks!
	11:58am still b/p: We had special permission to watch TV in the afternoon when Dark Shadows was on. Blue Ribbon in the Radio Show Demonstration Barn, Uncle Michael. Thanks!
	12:00pm Listener Robert: THAT's a really fun concept, never thought of: inside-out playing a cylinder!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from December 8, 2017

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.

Listener comments!
	7:22am ausmanx: i was perhaps hoping the graphic today was a veiled allusion to the great UK Sausage Roll nativity controversy... good evening, Uncle M
	7:42am Uncle Michael: Aus! I don't know what that is, but yes...it is!

Now some have pointed out that “Lord Jesus”, who is usually depicted in the crib in the Christian scene, remarkably spells “Susejd rol” backwards"
	7:50am doctorjazz: Hey, checking in! (great concert tomorrow night, Microscopnc Septet, Jazz Passengers, and Kamakaze Ground Crew, psyched). Got to see Nels Cline and The Autumn Defense last weekend, who put on a show in my FRIEND'S LIVING ROOM (he's friendly with many of the Wilco members). It was cool.
	7:53am ausmanx: doctor jazz, living room gigs are the only way to go these days, i reckon! chris corsano did two nights at my house this year, and peter brotzmann is doing two nights next year. you need to let lots of people in, though! no food allowed
	8:01am doctorjazz: @ausmanx, they are great! I'd love to get to your house for those shows (Brontzmann!!!!), though I believe you're not geographically convenient to us New Jersey-ites! As for local living room gigs, I don't know of many in the NY area. There's a classical series that happens called GroupMuse which happens all over the NYC area (much in the boros), but generally difficult for me to get to. I'd love to find out about some more stuff (concert going in Manhattan is such an expensive hassle...)

Must be some around, but I only know of the classical series, GroupMuse (which likely means I'm just out of the loop). Certainly the living room set has an intimacy and connection to the music hard to get in a club or concert venue (my friend is in Philadelphia, 1.5-2 hours from me; I think some more does go on there).
	8:25am ausmanx: here's the phill stuff www.experimentalintermedia.org...
	8:41am doctorjazz: Thanks for that link, looks like interesting stuff!
	8:45am Alessandro from italy: ... remember the Emperor through the night on the "great 208" radio Luxembourg...

	8:53am Uncle Michael: Where in Italy, Allessandro?
	8:55am Alessandro from italy: Milan, uncle..
	8:57am Uncle Michael: Welcome to the show. The real thing starts in a few minutes. I wondered if you were from Palermo and brother to Bruno and Mirko...
	9:00am Alessandro from italy: LOVE Palermo..... sea and sun !!! I live in the gray and cold Milano
	9:02am Roberto: Time to get UNKY!
	9:03am annie: i'm here, sorry to miss the pre-show show, i was being hypnotized by jazzy arrangements of christmas tunes.. i crawled out of that stupor....
	9:06am Rich in Washington: Greetings, UM, fellow Hinkyites!
	9:06am Uncle Michael: Roberto! Annie! Rich!
	9:07am listener james from westwood: Good morning, UM and all!
	9:07am Uncle Michael: James!
	9:09am Uncle Michael: (unfortunate 1989 drum sound)
	9:12am Stevel: Where in this Hellscape that we call America am I?
	9:12am Uncle Michael: Steve!
	9:16am still b/p: Fortunate organ for the ages back there in the Apricot Brandy. Good morning Hinky Dinky doers.
	9:18am Stanley: Made it.
	9:20am annie: we are getting covered by the first snow of the sason here. coming down steadily, too, since early this morning.. looks ike a couple of inches, very sloppy driving, judging from some pics i've seen on FB.
	9:20am annie: [season]
	9:20am V Priceless: Heya Uncle M!
	9:21am Roberto: Give the Victimized Drummer Some
	9:22am still b/p: Language Removal sounded like early quiet warmups for Floyd's Several Species of Small Furry Animals etc.
	9:22am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, UM, and Hinkys et Dinkys. Ruby, cut the shite.
	9:23am Uncle Michael: SBP! Stanley! VP! Sem! Stay safe, Annie.
	9:24am still b/p: The line about the gun and putting her in the ground somehow escaped my attention when I was a kid.
	9:24am Velvet Frog: Man, I've heard, but never listened to this song before (Ruby). Upsetting.
	9:26am Uncle Michael: Frog!
	9:27am mauri: when slush is on my face.
	9:27am Uncle Michael: It's dark, VF. Yes.
	9:29am Uncle Michael: Mauri!
	9:37am annie: i'm hanging the pictures on the walls today UM, not leaving the bldg until tomorrow.. whew!
	9:38am Uncle Michael: I'll try not to make you hang 'em crooked.
	9:41am Mr C: He lived in Philly...these Oscar records were big on WDAS..
	9:42am still b/p: Snow comes to Maine tomorrow. They gots snow all the way down to the Texas-Mexico border today! The "wall" can be snow-fort style!
	9:43am The Oscar: You got that right! Mornin' all!
	9:43am David D: Snowy greetings from over here as well...
	9:44am Listener Robert: This is the time of year for "Ghost Riders in the Sky", it being a musical representation of the Wild Hunt.
	9:47am listener james from westwood: I don't know how to best pronounce it either, but damned if those mutants didn't put down a groovy sound.
	9:47am Mr C: Michael, when are you switching back slots w/Doug?
	9:48am Mike East: Baby!
	9:48am Uncle Michael: Mr. C! Thanks for the 411. Oscar! Mr. C, next week is the last mixed up week.
	9:48am Uncle Michael: Robert! David!
	9:49am Parq: Love all versions of "Baby". Saw a video of Gal Costa performing it relatively recently, and for some reason she ends it by singing the title phrase from "Diana".
	9:49am Uncle Michael: Mike!
	9:49am listener james from westwood: Lonnie!
	9:50am Uncle Michael: Parq!
	9:53am The Oscar: Lonnie has an art installation at Mass MoCa out in western Mass (as does Laurie Anderson). I need to get out there ASAP.
	9:57am still b/p: It took me about 15 years from its opening to get to Mass MoCA the first time. ("Gotta get down there...gotta get down there...") I hope it ain't another 15 before a happy revisit.
	10:01am David D: The Yawpers will be in Dresden and Berlin this coming spring, but not Leipzig. What gives, Yawpers?
	10:02am Uncle Michael: David, Boy in a Well is just an amazing record. Go see them!
	10:04am doctorjazz: Bobby D! Great stuff! Been in and out (the usual, working), was at Mass MoCa this spring, really liked it.
	10:06am Asheville Jon: morning everyone
	10:08am Scraps deSelby: boobeeboobeeboobeeboobooboo, h’lo
	10:12am Uncle Michael: Jon! Scraps!
	10:12am doctorjazz: h'lo Scraps!
	10:13am doctorjazz: (set up my alley-developed my appreciation for Blossom Deary on fmu).
	10:14am still b/p: Love The Continental...but fleeting reminders always drop in of Allen Sherman's take on it: The Painless Dentist.
	10:25am Webhamster Henry: Theres a bit of The Continental in this Julius Monk revue song by Ronnie Graham : "Doin' the Psychoneurotique" jhhl.net...
	10:26am Roberto: YAS Laura!
	10:27am Uncle Michael: Henry!
	10:29am The Oscar: The thing I've never figured out about Laura Nyro is how she could write songs with such experimental structure and dark lyrics, yet still have them come off as perfect pop. She was so great.
	10:32am hyde: good morning!
	10:33am hyde: i love eric blore
	10:35am Uncle Michael: Hyde! Me too!
	10:37am northguineahills: They need to remake the Gay Divorcee w/ today's intended meaning.
	10:37am Jeff Golick: Better late than never, though looks like I've missed the first half of an all-time great one.
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Starring Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton?
	10:38am Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	10:40am The Oscar: Even though they're literally nothing alike, I always have to take a moment to parse the difference between Ronnie Lane and Robin Lane.
	10:40am hyde: i don't know that Ronnie Lane LP. i need that.
	10:40am Webhamster Henry: Cole Porter: "Don't inquire of Georgie Raft Why his cow has never calved - Georgie's bull is beautiful but he's gay." -- and so was Georgie.
	10:41am Uncle Michael: Beautiful, Henry!
	10:42am Webhamster Henry: Well, maybe not, but the closet was deep back then.
	10:42am Uncle Michael: right, Hyde?
	10:46am northguineahills: @UM:That works!
	10:49am still b/p: If Raft wanted a secret kept, I think one's nose or even life would be at risk if one was indiscreet with the secret.
	10:53am northguineahills: I would never have guessed this is Tortoise and I listened to this album back in October.
	10:58am doctorjazz: www.amazon.com... (that Ronnie Lane album must be fairly rare, at least judging from the price on Amazon...)
	10:59am doctorjazz: www.discogs.com... (not quite as bad on Discogs...)
	10:59am northguineahills: Cumbiambara!
	11:01am northguineahills: almost more chopped and screwed then rebajada. (the first one).
	11:01am listener james from westwood: Now this is a cumbia blend I would not have expected!
	11:05am northguineahills: Well, I've seen a lot of mario imagery (clothes, graffiti, etc in Mexico).
	11:08am northguineahills: Cumbia rebajada dub!
	11:09am Asheville Jon: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk bagpipes!! my ears!!!!!!!!!!
	11:09am Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Uncle Michael and all hinkydinks! I have one last paper to write and thus will not be doing Give the Drummer Some today. Thatcher Keat is back filling in with his show Rancho Thatchmo.
	11:10am Henry: love the pipes!
	11:10am Uncle Michael: Brother Doug!
	11:10am Uncle Michael: Henry!
	11:10am redkayak: This is awesome.....More bagpipes!
	11:11am Uncle Michael: Red!
	11:11am Jeff Golick: Questionable priorities, @Doug. But...ok.
	11:11am Uncle Michael: Playlist a la Thatchmo: wfmu.org...
	11:11am redkayak: @UM Ahoy Captain :)
	11:12am Uncle Michael: no idea who the Irishman is....
	11:13am Roberto: Musica Gallega! Que diferente.
	11:16am doctorjazz: 1 more paper, then Christmas break? You can do it, Doug!
	11:16am still b/p: It's a seasonal set: O Come All Ye Cumbias.
	11:19am Alex in Illinois: Dub cumbia. I like this better than dub reggae.
	11:21am Listener Robert: "Tycho" sounds like the theme music of a British spy program on TV around the time you have it as coming out.
	11:25am Artie: Final lap, Doug. Heave-ho!
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Alex! Artie!
	11:26am Uncle Michael: Robert!
	11:28am The Oscar: Aw, Jonathan!!
	11:28am Parq: I had hoped to become dignified and old. One of of two is okay, I guess.
	11:29am Uncle Michael: I hear that.
	11:30am northguineahills: I first heard this Modern Lovers track via Sloan.
	11:30am The Oscar: My dad gave me this album maybe a week after I got my driver's license, which is maybe the ideal time and circumstance to receive it.
	11:30am Parq: Remember the "Dignity -- always dignity!" scene from "Singin' In the Rain"? 'Nuff said.
	11:32am V Priceless: Mott!
	11:33am still b/p: Is there a song coming up for a middle-aged ever-more-sore shoulder?
	11:34am Parq: Still -- maybe "You're gonna carry that weight a long time".
	11:36am still b/p: It made my slumber not so golden this morning, I tell ya.
	11:36am Artie: "Take a load off b/p, take a load for free..."
	11:40am Sem Chumbo: Wow, wow. Haven't heard this in some time. Much obliged, UM.
	11:40am annie: i had shut the comments down so FireFox doesn't freak out, i had to come back on here to say that this is one of those shows' episodes i'm going to clicky star... what a great morning UM!!! and the snow here is still coming down pretty heavy.. very cool, indeed. !! i know it's close to 4 inches by now...
	11:42am Uncle Michael: Thanks so much, Annie. I'm happy when I'm with you (all).
	11:42am Uncle Michael: Which, Sem?
	11:43am doctorjazz: Just saw the Nat King Cole bio on Netflix; interesting (but really didn't get in too deeply). Usually just watch these things for the music.
	11:43am still b/p: If these last two don't get a blue ribbon at the Segue Fair, I don't know what would.
	11:44am doctorjazz: (Cole really has some voice and style-totally eclipsed that he was a fine jazz pianist)
	11:47am The Oscar: @stil I would totally go to the Segue Fair.
	11:48am doctorjazz: Fine show, UM, loved it, thanks!
	11:49am Uncle Michael: Thanks everyone. Nobody leave!
	11:50am still b/p: Quentin! Scaaaary!
	11:51am The Oscar: I've been watching Dark Shadows on Hulu every morning with my breakfast, but they took out the chunk from the middle where I was at and now I don't know what to do with my mornings.
	11:53am still b/p: Remember Quentin's sideburns? Scaaaaary!
	11:53am Sem Chumbo: Both mental Astronaut AND Nat King Cole. Twofer, as it turned out!
	11:54am northguineahills: Thanks for the hinky dinky!
	11:54am The Oscar: @still I didn't even make it to Quentin! I just managed to get past the loooong stretch where they're in 1795.
	11:56am hyde: thanks!
	11:58am still b/p: We had special permission to watch TV in the afternoon when Dark Shadows was on. Blue Ribbon in the Radio Show Demonstration Barn, Uncle Michael. Thanks!
	12:00pm Listener Robert: THAT's a really fun concept, never thought of: inside-out playing a cylinder!
