Next week's themes...
Last week's themes were great fun and we got through some terrific tunes. You can catch up with the playlists online or listen again if you fancy it. Don't be shy about contributing to the blog. Feel free to leave your suggestions and join in the (hopefully!) friendly banter. You can also call or text during the show or email me...
Monday
It's a night of Jive Talkin' on Get It On. Let's have your songs featuring, fab, funky, groovy, cool, and boogie. Whether I will be able to 'get down on it' remains to be seen....
Tuesday
It's the 50th anniversary of the . On tonight's show we'll feature music from the artists who are no longer with us.
Wednesday
Will it be 'Sexy Boy' or 'Fat Bottomed Girls'? Are you 'Glad All Over' or is 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now' a more accurate reflection of the way you feel? Tonight's theme is the songs that could have been written about you...
Thursday
Bryan Adamson suggests a night of great covers - not cover versions but the artwork that features on the greatest single and album sleeves ever....

John Martyn - oh god this is so difficult.....
"Johnny Too Bad" - adopted as his theme song, and what a bad b**ger he was;
"One World" - the other side of the coin, John the sad soulful dreamer;
"Over the Hill" - folky and perky;
"Over the Rainbow" - he never had a dog called Toto though (and this beats Eva Cassidy hands down);
"Sweet Little Mystery" - Wet Wet Wet had a nerve even trying to write a song of the same name;
and so on and so on.

Prog / heavy rock had loads of good covers:
Since Barney Bubbles is widely acknowledged to have been one of the great cover designers, straddling psychedelia and punk, there may be a chance for:
"Orgone Accumulator" from Hawkwind's pioneering fold-out covered "Space Ritual" (Bubbles later used the same trick on Costello's "Armed Forces", but I am not even going to mention that one, as I know how BB feels about Costello, nearly as well played as Blondie and Queen...).
Recently clearing out my parental home, I came across the transparent sticker from the front of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" (vinyl version obviously). Gerald Scarfe's design was pretty good, so maybe "Mother", just to depress us all;
Led Zeppelin's "Presence" with its recurring obelisk was a bit scary, "Achilles' Last Stand" from it?
Punky - Dead Fingers' Talk eponyomous debut album had a great skeletal and mutated hand on it: "Nobody Loves You When You're Old and Gay";
PiL's "Metal Box" did what it said on the (literal) tin. "Swan Lake" from that.
And Neil Young's "On the Beach" with the wallpaper inside and the car buried in sand on the cover is a bit more mainstream but still very warped: "Vampire Blues".

As well as songs from the 60s onwards mentioning groovy, cool etc, I'd love to hear some songs from earlier eras.
I'm no expert but I do love jazz, swing, bebop etc from 1930s-50s and the newer retro artists are good fun too. This type of music is rich in jive (or 'hep') talk.

No one but you is subtitled only the good die young which is a line from abraham martin and john which paid tribute ti civil rigts leader Martin Luther king. The cvil rights anthem was a change is gonna come by Sam cooke who often played with the 5 royales who wrote dedicated to the one i love which was recorded by mamas and the papas. Mama cass died in the same flat as drummer keith moon with the who, who's guitarist pete townsend also played on something in the air by thunderclap newman whose member jimmy mcculloch replaced les harvey of stone the crows who died at a gig in swansea. Richie Edwards went to swansea uni and the manics raindrops featured on the help album based around the concept of john lennon's instant karma.Badfinger were the first act signed to the apple label and recorded a song dear angie. Angie was also the name of a Stones Song and their let it loose was part of The Departed soundtrack which also featured the beach boys sail on sailor. The beach boys sang backing vocals on Chicago's wishing you were here and the Smashing pumpkins were formed in chicago. Their song drown featured on the soundtrack of the film Singles which was also supposed to feature Smells like teen spirit by nirvana but which had to be dropped because of the cost of the rights by the time the film came out.

Mott The Hoople - Honaloochie Boogie
Also wondered in the passing if the mentioned secret tracks theme ever happened, reason being as I was about to pass out last night Teddy Thopmpson suddenly sprung to life with a secret track a cover of The Everlys The Price Of Love! As an aside that is an album which just gets better with every play.

Launch was good even if I have a vested interest in the band having at one time known the drummer's mother very very well. Look out for them...Hercules Mandarin ''Fast behind the times'' out tomorrow. Some wonderful song arrangements on there.

Secret tracks (or rather: a track extended by a long period of silence, followed by another song without a track marker separating them) annoy me to; particularly if you *want* the second track. Otherwise you just tell iTunes to truncate the track at the end of the 1st song :-)
There's a U2 compilation that does this with October being the second song. As that's one of my favourite U2 tracks, it's annoying to say the least.

If the latter:

* Asian Dub Foundation: Return of Django
* Mika: Lollipop
* Beats International: Dub Be Good to Me
* Rosemary Clooney: Mambo Italiano
* Scissor Sisters: Laura

* The Pioneers: Longshot Kick De Bucket

all of which it's impossible to listen to without the head-nodding setting in

Actually, that link is a Spinal-Tap level catalogue of deaths and serious injuries in the band. If you're invited to audition for them, turn it down!

Just to add to the bit of trivia about Keith Moon and Mama Cass dying in the same flat. The flat was owned by Harry Nilsson and he often let it out to musicians on tour. After the second death he sold it to Pete Townsend (still alive). Harry, himself an RIP these days had his biggest hit with the Badfinger song Without You witten by the band's Ham and Evans both of whom topped themselves. On that cheery note.....
