Why am I asking all these questions?

Welcome home! Hope you enjoyed the break.

Monday

Yesterday
Tom Waits - Yesterday Is Here
Today
The Beach Boys - Here Today
Tomorrow
The Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties

Glad to see that the arithmetic has improved over the past couple of hours.

Hope you enjoyed your holiday Bryan. Babs has put up with a lot of stick from the regulars, but she has eventually agreed to allow more Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and Jethro Tull on the show. Best not let her down.

Monday, 'A Day In The Life' because of the intro 'I read the news today (Oh Boy').

Great excuse to play this song.

DC in Cellardyke

#8 Scotch, salute your courteous behaviouribility... B.T.W. EC & DC want to take you snark fishing L.O.L.

#11 MadMac, not sure what bait you use for snarks.

Snounds good snevertheless

( :-0

DC

"For the Snark's a peculiar creature, that won't
Be caught in a commonplace way.
Do all that you know, and try all that you don't:
Not a chance must be wasted to-day!

Monday
The Girl From yesterday / Eagles
Yesterdays Girl / Cry Before dawn
That Was Yesterday / Foreigner

Is it Like Today / World Party
On a Day Like Today/ Keane
Forever is tomorrow is today / David Gray

Love Me Tomorrow / Boz Scaggs
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Amy Winehouse

If that was the trophy I'd won at the World Tiddlywink Championships, I'd make that face too.

Marriages 'n' a' that:

You could go for the cynical:
* Kacey Jones w/Delbert McClinton: You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
* The Pogues: Fairytale of New York (in case you miss it on Wed)
* Elton John: But Not For Me

But I definitely have strong preferences for the soppy:
* Michael Marra: True Love
* John Lennon: Grow Old With Me
* Christy Moore: The Voyage (always a special one for me & First Mate Ramius)

New York:
Just 2 tracks:

* The Pogues: Thousands are Sailing (definitely better than Fairytale of New York, except at Christmas)

* Springsteen: You're Missing (which is the most profound song I know about the events of 9/11)

#13

I once knew a man who'd park
Alongside a ship call'd the Ark
With a skipper named Noah,
But he widnae go-ah
Bout wi a fish call'd a snark

DC

#351, #353

Adam,

I'm hurt! EC tells us, and I have no reason to doubt him, that "Cyber bullying is quite a trend at the moment."

I can state, categorically and without fear of contradiction, that no-one has ever accused me of being trendy!

'The Beaver's Lesson' (a wee extract)



Then the Butcher contrived an ingenious plan

For making a separate sally;

And had fixed on a spot unfrequented by man,

A dismal and desolate valley


But the very same plan to the Beaver occurred:

It had chosen the very same place:

Yet neither betrayed, by a sign or a word,

The disgust that appeared in his face


>8-D

tues

Cleaning Windows / Van Morrisson
(great images in the lyrics)
Someone Like You / Van Morrisson
(to weaken the knees)
The Island / Dolores Keane
Cannonball / Damien Rice

Wed
In the fervent hope that Frankindenny gets New York State of Mind played (a must in the Corinthian Piano Bar) I will suggest some classic 70's soul

I'm doin fine now / New York City
Native New Yorker / Odyssey
New York Eyes / Timmy Thomas

thu
The River / Bruce Springsteen

Courtship marriage and split all in one song
Besides her body was tanned and wet down by the reservoir and that's a good enough reason to play it.

#3
Norrie he has Irish ancestry. Think you're missing an opportunity here.

I know paolopablo and I also thought of some Seeger Sesssions material - but no need to push it! He has had a good airing recently.

That said the esuggestion by the Capt is a good one, and I would also add Nothing Man for the impact that terrible event had on individuals.

#19, oh I dont know SG.

Your codpiece collection is the envy of many.

#26 - Small, Medium or Large?

We should be telt.

Depends.

Metric or Imperial?

Tuesday or Thursday - Sinead O'Connor's 'The Last Day of Our Acquaintance' would fit each theme.

#20


Beaver of life, let me look and see
The pattern of my life gone by,
Shown on your tapestry.

#26

Birds Eye once sold battered codpieces

#31 But does Scotch model them for his Bird's Eye?

Please stop!

No way!



:-)

Its like a big red nose......LOL

#49

Or +1 (212) 736-5000?

MONDAY:

'Yesterday' - Ray Charles

'Between Today and Yesterday' - Alan Price (why are his songs not played more often - I find his songwriting style quite similar to that of Ray Davies, who gets lots of airplay)

'Yesterday Has Gone' - Cupid's Inspiration (quite a typical late 60s chart song)

'Is It Like Today'? - World Party

'Today's the Day' - Aimee mann

'Just For Today' - India Arie

'Maybe Tomorrow' - Stereophonics

'Sky Takes The Soul' - The proclaimers. Song (and chorus) starts "Could be tomorrow, could be today") One of their earliest and I think still one of their best.

Jim Croce sang 'Hey Tomorrow' , 'Maybe Tomorrow', 'More Than Tomorrow' and 'Tomorrow's Gonna Be A Brighter Day'.

You've got a lot of brass.

oops!

Not you, Julie.

52 refers to 50

#52. You're right SG.

TUESDAY:

'The Philosopher's Stone' - Van Morrison
The Town I Loved So well' - The Dubliners

WEDNESDAY:

A negative song about NY:

'New York Is Not My Home' - Jim Croce

and I'll second Madmac's shout for 'New York Shuffle' by Graham Parker and the Rumour. Got to get him on some time.

#47
Jim I see you've gone for REM doin First we Take Manhattan. Have you heard Joe Cockers Version. There's not many covers of Lenny songs that can do justice to the original but Cockers Voice is Fantastic. This uptempo version would have you doin 90 down the motorway without even realising it. Superb Drivin Rock.

#56 Yes I like Cocker's version and would happily hear it played, but I only recently came across the Flowers' version and am still enjoying it! But yes either version would be cool.

THURSDAY:

You simply must play Sinead O'Connor's song 'The Last day Of Our Acquaintance'. It's such a moving story of divorce...starts off soft and hurt and evolves into something portraying emotions of a failed relationship: sorrow, pain and anger and eventually, it seems, acceptance. Very moving...what a singer she is.

#50 l.o.l.

see #11 'Thursday', 2nd verse.

Oop's we'd better watch out there might be an exclamation of ENOUGH ALREADY!

#52 an there's me thinkin' o 'Brassneck' & 'Bully Beef' fae the Dandy!

#50 A great trivia fact, Glenn.

#50 You've severely invoked sod's law now - DON'T GET INTO A PLANE!

#59

It's a good number

I think New York is just a higher version of Glasgow.

#61

DON'T GET INTO A TAILSPIN!

Re: #58

I was not familiar with the song, but having listened to Sinead perform it on youtube I would like to support Julie's request.



sentimental git








P.S. Don't forget Kate Bush!

I like the Cupid's Inspiration song.

MONDAY

Bryan Ferry "Will You Love Me TOMORROW"

801 "T.N.K." their version of the Beatles track "TOMORROW Never Knows" from the album "801 Live" featuring Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno

J.O'B.

Do I hear Carrickfergus? Going, Going....

I see that the Yesterday Has Gone man (Teddy Randazzo) also wrote Goin' Out of My Head - another great song.

Great suggestions for Monday everyone, thanks for going with the theme!!

Second Julies World Party and Stereophonics suggestion both great tracks :-)

Also must support the Sinead O'Connor track for Thursday, brilliant and one of the most underrated songwriters of our time. I don't care that she shows her psycho side sometimes, we all have one and she is just not afraid to do it in public.

Maria

"Perfect Day" by Lou Reed describes the events of today but the word doesn't appear in the title or lyrics. Does it qualify?

I think we should be tellt !

If not, I'd second "Maybe Tomorrow" as proposed by Julie. I find it always sounds good to drive to, but not sure why.

Paul from Ayr

Re: #65

Was it written by Gary Puckett?

Sounds just like 'Lady Willpower'

Mondays theme has generated some fantastic suggestions. I would like to back All Tomorrows Parties as suggested by Danielle, one of the great Velvets tracks.

Also

Yesterday is Here - Tom Waits, but could I also suggest the excellent Southside Johnny over version.

Tomorrow Is A Long Time - Elvis (Dylans favourire cover version apparently)

Tonight - Iggy Pop

Like Yesterday - Ryan Adams

When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics, just a great great pop song, you forget how good this track is.

Re: #67

Did Teddy Randazzo write 'Lady Willpower'?

Sounds just like 'Yesterday Has Gone'

#49 madmac other Lou Reed tracks that would be suitable

NYC Man

Coney island Baby

Broadway Song

#72 Do not know but he did write Lind Rondstant big hit Hurt So Bad and quite a few I think for Little Anthony and The Imperials.

#28, #74

Norrie,

Please, if we act as if the codpiece episode never happened we might still avoid the moderating moderators of moderation.

Let's not go there.






again

>8-D

#64...thank you for your support :0)

#65, #70. Don't know but just read that Gordon Haskell (the guy who had a hit with the song 'How Wonderful You Are'...who also used to be in King Crimson...and shared a flat with Jimmy Hendrix) was in Cupid's Inspiration...ain't Wikipedia great...of course it could just be a load of rubbish.

Re: #68

Maria,

I didn't realise Monday's theme was your idea. Guid yin!








P.S. Don't request Jethro Tull. Bryan won't play it, even if it is your theme.

>8-D

#78 There are definitely good Tull suggestions for most of this next week's suggestions but I have given up asking for Tull as it's pretty clear that they won't be played. Not sure why, really, as there is nothing especially non-mainstream about many of their greatest hits...

#78,#79,

Scotch, Jim, if yesterday is in the past and "Living in the Past" is mainstream we could have a Tull candidate for Monday.

Monday:

'Youth of today' - Amy McDonald
'Tomorrow belongs to me' - Sensational Alex Harvey Band

DC in Cellardyke

#81

I know the song is a pastiche, I know Kander and Ebb are Jews, and I know Alex gave it a positive spin, but that song gives me the heebie-jeebies.

#81 DC that SAHB track is amazing. It has been discussed on Janet Forsyth's show during an interview with the composer about the ultimate irony of the song in it's various incarnations. I would LOVE for it to be played - it's so good.

#80 Agreed! It would just boil down to whether the team at GIO like it and don't have too many other tunes that beat it for air time. We shouldn't hold it against them for not playing everything we want.

It would be great to hear some Tull on the show thow, I must say!

#83

Does that account for Vic's hairstyle?

#49 - I'd second one of Madmac's suggestions for Monday...

'Tomorrow Never Knows' - The Beatles
It's not one of the usual day-related Beatles songs and it shows how innovative they were. The Chemical Brothers took a lot of inspiration from this track.

'Come Together' - Primal Scream
For the sampled speech near the start "Today is a new day...". Song still sounds great and I like the sentiment about "...blues and jazz, all of these are just labels - we know that music is music." It can be my wee olive branch after folk taking the hump with me last week.

#86 - Were you on some kind of camel ride through the musical desert?

Tenuous link to Wednesday's theme:

The wonderful song 'Diner' by Martin Sexton (featured in last night's Roddy Hart show) mentions New York State.

Monday:

* Strawberry Switchblade: Since Yesterday
* Talk Talk: Today
* Mika: Love Today

but also the very lovely
* Jane: It's a Fine Day (Fine Night Tonight; Fine Day Tomorrow) - preferably the original a capella version, not the dance remix.

Just looked out of the office window. I'd like to suggest Supertramp's 'It's Raining Again' for the 'Today' theme

#82, any excuse to get SAHB played



DC

A worthy ambition.

#87 - Well, it involved me complaining about 'Do the Bartman' and Spandau Ballet. If not a desert, not exactly the richest musical landscape either. Feel free to add your own Mirage and Oasis jokes...

I totally forgot to suggest this for Monday:

'Today' - Smashing Pumpkins
A great uplifting song from when Billy Corgan had hair. No, really! Probably better than the later '1979' which has been played once, I think.

MONDAY

Bryan Ferry did a version of "All Tomorrow's Parties" but my favourite version is by Japan and also Nico too.

J.O'B.

P.S. how about this for a theme:

Songs with the words "Get", "It" or "On in the title

GET Back
IT Ain't Me Babe
I Put A Spell ON You

#93
did you know that

Right intro tune went by beat

is an anagram of Get it on with bryan Burnette.

Still think misheard lyrics would be a fun theme......and yes I do have too much time on my hands today.

Tuesday - Irish Artists

The Frames - Falling Slowly
My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realise
Ash - Kung Fu
Seconds for Damien Rice - either The Blower's Daughter or Cannonball

Wednesday - New York

New York City - Cub
Marching Bands of Manhattan - Death Cab For Cutie
Alphabet Town - Elliott Smith
Harlem - Bill Withers

It still sounds like 'Lady Willpower'

Re-release it!

Sorry about your speech impediment.......

It's a great record - uncompromising from the first bar.
