Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from August 23, 2019 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.

I think of bargain bin as up to three dollars per LP. Is that still a bargain?

Nice, Shake Senora was playing when I was in Fairway a couple of hours ago.

My 2 favorite Bargain Bin record of mine is a Seekers record that I bought for $1 at the WFMU Record Fair and a live record from the BBC1 15th anniversary concert that I bought off the street in Manhattan for $2. I play both of them a lot.

I found that cueing LPS is easy so as long as there are gaps b/tn tracks (otherwise, good luck). Well, I'm off for 3pm (EDT) interview, cheers and happy weekend everyone!

I know who Sarah Vaughan and Count Basie are, but I’ve never heard of Sarah Baughan and Cout Basie.

Off the top of my head, my 2 most memorable bargain bin finds were a cutout bin at a Woolworths at 7th Ave near Times Square during the 70s
Zalman Yanovsky "Alive and Well in Argentina" (original release), and "Jan and Dean Meet Batman" 29 cents each!

Part of the Lee Marvin song sounded like Les Miserables.

Franco Twinkie:

In the early '70's you could get most of the Verve/MGM rock catalog for $1.98 at The Thrifty Drug Store and Newberry's and a few other retail outlets. Thus, The Mothers Of Invention, Velvet Underground, Sam The Sham, Animals ect. became the building blocks of many suburban kids record collection. Why was this?

Another 'In the plastic' find from the early '70's was Permanent Damage by The GTO's at this hardware store called Ole's by my house. I got two copies for a dollar! Some people might say I paid a dollar to much.

That was a drag. Scotch And Soda overrun by some saxophone screeching.

Phil Harris, one of the voices I grew up listening to via Disney.
  1:09pm

The sense of loss felt in missing Fred and Lee and others is eased by Phil. Saw a clip the other day of Rosie Clooney telling Mike Douglas that Phil Harris was a very interesting guy.

This is so much better than the version by X.

UM, you should do a show of politically incorrect content like this Ray Charles song. “Ahab the Arab” by Ray Stevens also comes to mind.
  1:35pm

Today's show feels a little like listening to my dad's record collection. Which, by the way, I'm having trouble archiving. Do I simply integrate it alphabetically into my own collection? Keep it separate? Such a dilemma.

RW! You grew up in So.Cal - remember KPOL?

Oh man! That station was an alternate music universe for me. It was what grown ups listened to long before I had control of the tuner.
  1:46pm
rw:

Speaking of grown ups... when my daughter was little I told her my car radio didn't get Radio Disney. I think she's still a little traumatized from finding out I could lie to a little kid like that.

Your both better off for it! Someday she will thank you.

She used to love the Melt Banana CD I would play as an alternative.

@rw What does Radio Lab play?

Radio Lab is a podcast. Sort of like This American Life but more of a science bent.
