Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from February 13, 2015 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.

In 1974, Barbra Streisand released a version of the song on her album ButterFly. In a 1976 Playboy interview, Bowie was asked what he thought of her cover: "Bloody awful. Sorry, Barb, but it was atrocious."

Erella:

I live in Toronto.
The first time I went to the Sony Centre was to hear Hunky Dory live. I was a teenager and was horrified at all the other people (not like me at all) there enjoying Bowie live.
Many years later, in 1995, I was at the King Edward hotel with my young toddler doing a frankenstein walk, (as they do) at the Sunday brunch with some former work colleagues. (Incidentally this is the hotel where John and Yoko did the bed in). My 2 year old daughter walked face-first into Bowie's groin!! He picked her up, told me she was adorable. He laughed. He was a guest at that hotel.
This weekend, I won tickets to go to that hotel and that brunch again with my child. Bowie has been on the mind all day.

It makes me think of plains of ganja overlooking turquoise waters, instead of apartment buildings nestled amongst the asphalt. Actually they have a kickass arboretum.

Wanted to post this link that came in email earlier this afternoon before the show was over: https://soundcloud.com/fatpossum/al-green-lets-get-married-vocals-only

Still plugging in those numbers, aided by a UM soundtrack. Have a great weekend boys and girls! ♥

I was just downstairs at the deli, and "Texas Toast" is printed on the end of a bag of bread. Whenever I hear the phrase: "Texas Toast" I think it is a euphemism for something like, I don't know, cow chips.

Okay, now I feel like apologizing about my remark about "Texas toast", hearing Willie Nelson singing.

Hey Uncle Michael! So I saw the reminder that the show is today and thought "Oh! I'm finally home when it's happening and I can listen in real time!" Then discovered it's ET, so totally missed it! Still love them via the archives. Happy Valentine's Day!
