Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from May 6, 2016 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.

Why is jazz the only type of music where radio announcers run through all of the musicians on a track? Back in the Mesozoic era, when I was on college radio, I tried doing the same thing with major-label rock tracks and had to stop because I couldn't keep from laughing.

Because bands weren't static and even if you cared, how could you keep up? Because on a given session, many sidemen were well-known leaders?

Three Penny Opera really was popular .. running off-Broadway (when the whole idea of Off Broadway was new) . It ran about 7 years, which back then was a blockbuster! If a show lasted more than a few months it was considered a hit!
ThreePenny was a flop in English in the early 30s, Blitzstein's new (less edgy) lyrics, and also more familiarity with Americanized Kurt Weill probably helped a lot.

Got my colonoscopy recently. (TMI? Tough shit.) The report produces real opportunity for band names, e.g., Tortuous Colon, Hepatic Flexure...

This is reminding me of Eartha Kitt's SHO-JO-JI (The Hungry Raccoon) which is kind of disturbing.

Not sure you want to use "colonoscopy" and "tough shit" in the sentence.

Googled for that band name, was not disappointed. To quote: "FISTULA remain the kings of doomed out miserycore."
