Black Friday / Steely Dan
Saturday Night / Blue Nile
Drive in Saturday / Bowie
Theme from Ski Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon / Queen

Tue
I could produce a mega list but the one I really want is Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Old Time Rock n Roll would be good to get folk dancin round their kitchens but Still the Same would be Grrreat cos it reminds me of buying the single in a wee record shop on holiday in Nairn. It must have been the only record shop in the whole of the uk that bothered to stock it.

Wed
Without You / Badfinger

Days of The Week

Some great songs fit this theme:

All days - The Clash and Police On My Back, I cannot remeber just now who did the original.

Sunday - Sunday Morning, The Velvet Underground

Sunday - Every Day Is Like Sunday, 10,000 Maniacs version would be good to mix it up a bit, great version as well.

Tuesday - Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning, fantatstic Cowboy Junkies song. From the tremendous caution Horses album and a great breakup song.

Thursday - Thursday's Child - David Bowie not sure why Paolo dropped it from his list, brilliant video with this song.

Saturday - Drive In Saturday again Bowie but how about Morrisseys cover version?

Saturday - a good bit of glam Saturday Gigs - Mott The Hoople.

Happy Friday everyone.

Hi, Norrie. I hope you are as calm as wot I is.
The caffeine and sugar are kicking in now......

Glad its Friday SG!

Weekdays:

'Sunday Morning Comin' Down' - Kris Kristofferson.

I think almost everyone has felt like this at some time or other!

DC in Cellardyke

More weekdays:

'Monday Morning' - Fleetwood Mac

DC in Cellardyke

Days of the week - I would go for Sunday bloody Sunday- U2, Monday Monday - Mamas and the Papas, Ruby Tuesday - Melanie, Wednesday morning 3am - Simon + Garfunkel, can't think of anything for Thurs, Friday I'm in love - Cure, Saturday night at the movies - the Drifters. Tuesday - Adam and the Ants suggestion, gonnae no, PLEASE.

Norrie, I'm surprised you didnt put down Bowie's version of The Easybeats' 'Friday on My Mind'.

DC has recorded his version which is called 'Deuchars on my Mind'.

And for Thursday I want
'This Ole House' by Shaky.
I'm getting in early so I want it just for me!!

Monday

I'd like to second two of Norrie's suggestions - Sunday Morning, The Velvet Underground and Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning, which truly is a fantastic Cowboy Junkies song.

I'd also like to suggest Saturday Morning - Eels. It's a good one!

#13

Absolut-ly

D(eu)C(hars rules ok)

~13 Aaargh thats what I get Adam! I had it on my mental list and got so caught up in trying to remember if any Bowie tracks were credited as David Bowie and The Spiders that I forgot! It is a great version and can I second that!

as an aside does anyone know if the Easybeats subsequently become Flash and The Pan? I tried to google but cannot find this out? I know George Young is brother of the AC/DC brothers.

No Bowie and The Spiders of course but a coupole of really early Bowie tracks are worthy of a play:

Davy Jones and the Lower Third - You've Got A Habit of Leaving, which Bowie subsequently re-recorded around the time of Heathen

and a great track, first under the name David Bowie

David Bowie with The Lower Third - I Can't Help Thinking About Me

again a track which has been re-visited recently by Bowie.

Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros - Mondo Bongo

I forgot one for Wednesday:

Every time you go away - Paul Young's version is probably better know than the original by Hall & Oates.

Joe
Linlithgow

PS - Can I also endorse paolopablo's shout for My Old School on Thursday - great song.

Tuesday

In the interests of stopping droning on about Hawkwind, I'm not going to mention them this week! Sooooo - the following artists have not (as far as I can recall) ever been played on GIO before:

Richard Hell and the Voidoids "Blank Generation"
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass "Spanish Flea"
Hatfield and the North "Fitter Stoker Takes a Bath"
Slaughter and the Dogs "Cranked Up Really High"
Country Joe and the Fish "Feels Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag" (go on, Bryan!)

and the following have:

Toots and the Maytals "Pressure Drop"
Derek and the Dominos "Little Wing"
Siouxsie and the Banshees "Playground Twist"
Ian Dury and the Blockheads "My Old Man"

None of them (bar the guitarist from Derek and the Dominos) are ever likely to win a Brit either.

DC,

The Scottish Agricultural Science Agency have discovered 'gnawed trees' in Fife.

Have you been out hunting beaver?

I think we should be telt!

Wednesday

Ghost Riders In The Sky - Gene Gnawedtree/Frankie Laine

#33 Not a good idea to gnaw trees in Fife. Too many dogs around.

Plenty beaver though, as long as you know where to look.

Wi' a hundred beavers - a gnaw a gnaw

Its gonna be a busy one for me so will probably be catch up all the way! Have fun y'all.

Mazzy

p.s. Harry, lets leave the Brits in last week shall we?! :-)

Happy to leave them in the last century, Maria!

There have been quite a few Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers shouts and they are a grat band so hope they get played, I love the track Don't Come Around Here No More.

Really brilliant and unusual for them so might not get played, I think it was David A Stewart of Eurythmics etc who worked with him on it - great intro!

I actually meant not typical of their stuff so one of the more straightforward tracks might get more requests. All that typing whilst trying to think as well......

Thursday

I Was In The House When The House Burned Down
Detox Mansion
The Factory
Down In The Mall
Disorder In The House
Tenderness On The Block - Warren Zevon

Good list Glen El Rayo X would be more than welcome and the Factory is one of my favourite Zevon tracks. Bryan should play El-Rayo X and put some photos up of David Lindleys crazy fashion sense!

And if the Boss is going to copy....well at least he made it a good one! ;o) There must be a few more tracks like that and I am not such a Boss snob that I would not concede you are absolutely right, and with Teddy having the better of the two versions!

So to get Bruce back some credibilty you should credit his duet with Zevon on Disorder!

I forgot:

The Day Beaver You Came - Fae Fife/Abba
Gnaw Regrets - Walker Bros.
All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth - The Beaverley Sisters

#46

You're quite right, Norrie. Bruce stood by him in his hour of need.

I think he did, well would hope so and certainly his live tribute the day after Zevons death, My Ride's Here, is without doubt one of Springsteens recorded live highlights and a fitting tribute to Zevon. For anyone who has not heard this:

WED

Red Red Wine....UB40....(Neil Diamond)
Come inside love....Cilla Black....(Paul McCartney)
Because the Night...Patti Smith...(Springsteen)
This Flight Tonight...Nazareth....(Joni Mitchell)
Wanna Be Your Man ...Stones...(Lennon & McCartney)

'Aw Gnaw, No' Mah Babby!' - Rod Stewart and the Lumberjacks

#56

Beavers won't be a problem. Somebody wants to re-introduce the wolf. If they get out of hand there's always the brown bear.

At least it'll keep traffic down on the West Highland Way in the summer.

#62

Someone wanted wolves to keep the number of deer down. Someone else pointed out that catching deer requires a great deal of effort. Wolves would probably find sheep a tad easier to stalk.

Antlers are OK for your wall but they won't keep you warm in winter.

I'm rather partial to venison.
But it's dead deer.

#65 I agree. Chickens cheap but venison's dear. What's more, a big plate of venison's too dear

DC

Nice try, but you're not getting off the hook that easily. We have not yet exhausted the beaver seam.


Anyway, it's budgies that are cheap. >8-D

Fleetwood Mac - Monday Morning

Stephen from Invergordon

Re: #49

Norrie,

Thank you for that.

#67 I think you need a cold shower MrGit

The Boomtown Rats were right, 'I don't like Mondays'

DC

#67, #70

DC,

Why would you believe anything I tell you?
I'm just messing with your mind.




Or am I? >8-D

#21 and 59

"Oh Jim - hey hey why d'you treat me this way?"

I'd say the Boomtown Rats too cause 'I don't like Mondays'but for those who do like today New moon on monday,Duran Duran could be for them!

Gordon Christie,Kirrie

Alas I see that someone has already asked for Sunday Girl for tonight.

I'm going to go for all country choices this week:-

Monday:-

Drinking in my Sunday Dress - Maria McKee

Tuesday:-

I Married Her Just because She Looks Like You - Lyle Lovett and his Large Band.

Lyle Lovett and his Large Band is actually the album title so I'm probably bending the rules a little.

Wednesday:-

I Will Always Love You - Dolly Parton

I know you've all ben avoiding this one, but I'm sure Bryan's dying to play it, and it is classic example of the theme.

Thursday:-

Late Night Grande Hotel or Love at the Five and Dime - Nanci Griffith.

Busy man so apart from hoping that you play the Melanie' version of Ruby Tuesday as it is associated (as described in a post last week)with what can only be described as a seminal moment in my life I would note the following which have probably all been requested already;

Days - Kinks
Lazy Sunday Afternoon - Small faces
Friday I'm in Love - Cure
Friday on my Mind - Easybeats or Bowie
Pleasant Valley Sunday - Monkees
Blue Monday - New Order
Wednesday Morning 3am - Simon and Garfunkel
Monday Monday - Mamas and Papas
Sunday Morning Coming Down - Cash or Kristoffersen
Thursday's Child / Drive in Saturday - David Bowie

I think that's the week covered so btw

Tuesday - Backing Bands

Tommy James and the Shondells - Crimson and Clover
Antony and the Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Colleen
Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks - Gardenia

Wednesday - Better Known Covers

Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats - original by The Knife
Talking Heads - Take Me to the River - original by Al Green

Days of the week:

"Tuesday" by Phil Manzanera.

J.O'B.

In the midst of Carnaval here but had to get my request in for tomorrow as its a great opportunity to play

Three Lions - Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds.

Bah, still in the office. Hoping for some Braggage some time post 19:00...

Not that bad a complaint at the moment CaptR!!

Well, I'm still here, but at least starting to pack up.

I thought you looked poorly in your photograph.

Damn!! Someone's already suggested Billy Bragg and the Blokes, though I would prefer "Take Down The Union Jack" - released at the same time as the Golden Jubilee.

Damn!! Someone's already suggested Gloria Jones original take on "Tainted Love"

"Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads would be great for Thursday.

Thursday - Buildings

I'm From Barcelona - Treehouse
The White Stripes - Hotel Yorba
Yo La Tengo - Let's Save Tony Orlando's House
Red House Painters - All Mixed Up
The Commodores - Brick House

oops..forgot about "Shine On" by HOUSE of Love for Thursday. Reminds me of some great nights out in Brum as a young, eager 18 year old!!

Their album released in 2005 was also really good and worth a listen.

Maria

TUESDAY:

Bern Elliott and the Fenmen - 'New Orleans' or 'Money' (great Merseybeat sound even though the band were from Kent)

Bobby Angelo and the Tuxedos - 'Baby Sittin''

Joey Dee and the Starlighters - 'Peppermint Twist'

Question Mark and the Mysterians - '96 Tears'

Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames - 'Getaway'

Brian poole and the Tremeloes - 'Do You Love Me?'

Zoot Money and the Big Roll Band - 'Big Time Operator' (with Andy Summers).

Tommy James and the Shondells - 'Mony Mony'

#84 No harm in backing someone else's suggestion, especially if it's not a Smiffs track that Bryan's already itching to play :-)

Take Down the Union Jack's a fine call; Billy's one of the few people thinking about Englishness without verging towards the knuckle-dragging mouthbreather brigade. And there's a shout out to Scotland in the song too.

Can't think of anything stranger than Boris Pickett and the Cryptkickers for Tuesday.

Apparently their hit "Monster Mash" was a number 1 in the USA upon release in 1962 but was banned from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ playlists because it was "too morbid". Unfortunately the ban was lifted in the early seventies.

I sincerely hope that the Get It On team have re-instated the ban for Tuesday at least

DC in Cellardyke

Backing bands.

Alison - Elvis Costello and the Attractions
When Doves Cry - Prince and the Revolution
I Wonder Why - Dion and the Belmonts
Every Little Kiss - Bruce Hornsby and the Range
Turn the Page (live version) - Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band
Hold Back the Night - Graham Parker and the Rumour

One more for tonight that I'd forgotten about until it came up on the fruit-branded-MP3-player yesterday:
Spike Jones & his City Slickers: Cocktails for Two (containing the only known stop-chorus of hiccups on record)

Tuesday;

How could I have missed Graham Parker and the Rumour off my list, especially as I've been trying to get GP played recently. They were a great live band and sadly neglected on radio these days though I was pleasantly surprised to hear one of their tracks played on Radio 6 last night.

I do second Hopo's suggestion of their version of 'Hold Back The Night' but I'd really like to hear 'Silly Thing', 'New York Shuffle' or 'Heat Treatment' (other great GP songs I'd like to hear but they're without The Rumour so don't fit into the theme). If you had 7 minutes to spare, 'The Heat In Harlem' is well worth a listen. I recently realised (and was a bit suprised) I have more GP albums (on vinyl) than I have by anyone else. As I've said before...hurrah for pub rock!

TUESDAY

Anything by Andy Mackay And The Metaphors

J.O'B.

This is a night for tracks by:

Dodgy Sign And The Rogue Ampersands

J.O'B.

As well as my Bowie selections

Adam and The Ants - Dog Eat Dog (pity Strip mentioned last week is a solo track)

Booker T and the MG's - Time Is Tight

Ryan Adams and The Cardinals - Magik

Cheers

Norrie

For Wednesday, more famous then the original I starte doff with soem obviosu ones and then got kind of sucke dinto the 'who actually did record this first and so:

Wild Thing - The Wild Ones (Troggs / Jimi Hendrix)
My Boy Lollipop (Barbara Gaye (Millie)
I Fought the Law - The Crickets (Bobby Fuller Four / Clash et al)
Rock Around the Clock - Sonny Day and the Knights (Bill Haley and the Comets)
I Found You - Yvonne Fair (James Brown retitled I Got You I Feel Good and he produced the Yvonne Fair version)
Doh Wah Diddy - The Exciters - Manfred Mann
Suspicious Minds - Mark James (Elvis)
You Need Love (Muddy waters (Led Zeppelin as Whole Lotta Love)
Hound Dog - Big Mama Thornton (Elvis)

and one especially for BB to search out

Blueberry Hill - Gene Autry (Fats Domino et al)

For Tuesday, how about:

Buddy Holly and the Crickets (Brown Eyed Handsome Man)

Steve Earle and the Dukes (and the Pogues): (Johnny Come Lately)

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles (The Tracks of my Tears)

What were the chances of a second vote for Gene Gnawedtree?

There's a Carnival picture of Adam in today's Herald painted in gold like Shirley Eaton and wearing a posing pouch. How different from our own dear Kelvin Hall.

Wednesday:

'And I Love You So' - Perry Como (Don McLean original).

'Police and Thieves - The Clash (Junior Murvin original).

'The Tide Is high' - Blondie (The Paragons original).

Now this bends the theme a bit (so take it as a bit of trivia perhaps :0) ), since I wouldn't say the cover is as well known as the original ... Elvis Costello wrote 'Almost Blue' with Chet Baker in mind. Baker played trumpet on 'Shipbuilding' and Elvis Costello gave him a tape of the song. Costello didn't hear from Baker after that. When Baker died, Costello was interviewed and the reporter said he had a tape of Chet Baker's version of...'Almost Blue'!

#98 - Not my kind of pouch, GM.
Strictly Black Russian man, me.

Just two days to go......
