Could this be the evening when we get to hear 'Comfortably Numb' by PINK Floyd?

By the way, congratulations to Steve of Alva Academy for suggesting 'Une nuit a Paris' by 10CC and also to Bryan Burnett for playing all three parts at the end of tonight's show. Although I know the track well, I had forgotten how good this was and so have since downloaded it.

Now all Alva media students should practice saying 'graaaayyyttt' before Thursday

;-)

DC in Cellardyke

A few suggestions

The Blue Nile - Tinseltown in the rain or Saturday Night
Black - Wonderful life
Hue and Cry - Long term lovers of pain
New Order - Blue Monday

Jim

Definitely some Pink Floyd. To double the colour theme, let's have Jugband Blues.

Also:

* Black: Wonderful Life
* Norman Greenbaum: Spirit in the Sky
* Arthur Brown: Fire
* Cream: Strange Brew
* Purple Hearts: Millions Like Us
* Yello: Oh Yeah
* Black Kids: I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You
* Colourfield: Thinking of You
* The White Stripes: Jolene
* John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers: Ramblin' On My Mind
* Sandy Denny: John The Gun
* The Stone Roses: Made of Stone

(don't suppose we can kid on that Jethro is a colour, no?)

By the way, Alva Academy guys - here's a process suggestion: listen to all the tracks suggested, and make your own minds up. The GiO audience has a surprisingly eclectic bent...

Colin Vearncombe (Black) has done a lot of brilliant stuff other than Wonderful Life!!

Just some of his great tracks;

Now Youre Gone
Big One
Dont Take The Silence To Hard
I Can Laugh About It Now
Fell Like Change
Too Many times

he is someone well worth checking out.

Okay, artists with colours in their name...

Sharon Redd - Never Give You Up
Jocelyn Brown - Somebody Else's Guy
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Firecracker
Average White Band - McEwan's Export Aye, Mcewan's the best buyin' beer!
Al Green - Let's Stay Together

Black Peter by The Grateful Red

Quite surprised at the variety of suggestions above. So much for the theory that us men can only see in 6 colours, that peach is a fruit and that we've no idea what mauve is.

mauve?!?

Many years ago I told the mother of my child she had the complexion of a peach.









A football peach.









Ah'll get mah coat......................

RED Box - lean On Me
ORANGE Juice - Blue Boy (cracker!!)
YELLOW Magic Orchestra - Computer Game
GREEN Day & U2 - The Saints Are Coming (or
Bobby BLUE Bland - Turn On Your Love Light
INDIGO Girls - Gallileo
The VIOLETS - Mirror Mirror

there we go a complete RAINBOW - I Surrender

Norrie

The LILAC Time -- "Return To Yesterday" or "The Girl Who Waves At Trains"

I've been looking for an excuse to request something by The Lilac Time, Stephen Duffy's excellent post-Duran Duran, post-"Tin Tin" band. "Return To Yesterday" in particular is a gorgeous, swoon-inducingly catchy piece of country-styled guitar pop!

Rich in North Carolina

#25

What this comment needs is more adjectives. >8-D

Rich, Howzitgaun? We've missed y'all. Life treating you okay?

The Lilac Time brings out the adjectiveness in me!

Things here are all right ... I seem to frequently be in boring meetings at the office while GiO is on (it's 1:00-3:00 here), so I haven't been able to participate much lately. My rude coworkers have no sense of priorities!

Rich

Alva large helping of Green Day please.
American Idiot if you can find the radio version or
the live version of Shout from Bullet in the bible

or how about
Dear Mr President / Pink
A break from her normal style, this stripped down ballad in which
she pleads to her ex leader shows just what a great voice Ms Moore has.

Or a few for your Mums and Dads
Nice and slow / Jesse Green
Hooked on a Feeling / Blue Swede
Downtown Lights / Blue Nile
Atlantic Avenue / Average white band
Spanish wine / Chris white
Hey there Delilah / Plain White t's
Please Forgive Me / David gray
taxi / J Blackfoot
Hard to Handle / Black Crowes
Crossroads / Cream
Funkin for Jamaica / Tom Browne

Good luck guys. Enjoy the show.

The version of Archie Bell and the Drells' 'Tighten Up' by The YELLOW Magic Orchestra is a hoot.

Scritti Politti (to all intents and purposes the bands is really singer songwriter GREEN Gartside) - 'Faithless'.

BLUE Mink - 'Banner Man' always reminds me of Jimmy Saville's Sunday radio shows.

Barry BLUE - 'Dancing on a Saturday Night'...school disco classic.

#29

Julie - that Scritti Politti shout is a good one!

Bring Me The Red Of Alfredo Garcia.

Bring Me The Already Said Of Alfredo Garcia.

'Keyleigh' - Vermilion :0)

Ah JFE thats what I get for trying to join in a joke I dont understand.....

Don't worry, it's a Radio 2 thjread of Alfredo Garcia, oft pursued by those who are suffering from the middle-age spread of Alfredo Garcia.......

;-)

DC

'thjread'?

Just shows I should have made sure that my posts are first read of Alfr.......

Ach I'm getting bored of this

DC

Bring Me The Well Said Of Alfredo Garcia.

Blackfoot Sue!!! I've been racking my brains all day trying to think of that group. Seconded, thirded and 10 to the power of thirty eight-ed from Cellardyke!

DC

Since Yesterday - Strawberry Switchblade
Sunday Morning - Maroon 5

I'll see your Blackfoot Sue and raise you John Kongos.

Bring Me The Bet Of Alfredo Garcia.

Jim good track selection, would be great to hear any Indigo Girls and Clsoer to Fine would have been my second choice out of many great tracks, Hothouse Flowers are brilliant on that track. Rock N Roll Heavens Gate wqould also have been good as it has Pink guesting but they would need a radio edit. Blue Boy by Orange Juice really is a belter.

Do you think Jackson Browne would get passed the spelling police?! Sky Blue and Black is one of my all time favourite records.

oh and

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALVA ACADEMY!

It's always intriguing when somebody gets their comment moderated - just makes you want to know what was said even more!

#45 What have you been up to SG??
I trust you are suitably black affronted.

I know I read it and did not think anything of it - so much so that I cannot even recall what was in it!

Free the SG One!!

#45 - #49

Free the Scotch!



:-)

#48 that should be "suitably blackfoot sue affronted" by the way?

DC

#17, #44

If we're going to have some Pink Floyd tonight, shouldn't it be The Wall in honour of our guest producers? Free those minds! :-)

#49, #50 - DC (Mr Monopoly) can you not arrange a "Git Out Of Jail Free" card for SG?

#52

I think we exceeded our monthly quota with Money the other night.

#52, #54

A definite for tonight. Don't put any doubt into the minds of our graayyyttt production team. Pink Floyd HAS to feature!

#49, #53 I too read the post and didn't notice anything untoward. Could it be that Scotch reported himself so that he gets noticed? Does he suffer from ADHD? We need to be telt!

DC in Cellardyke

David Gray - please forgive me
or
Black Kids - i'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you
or
Green Day - holiday
or
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Scar Tissue

#54

Maybe he took a leaf from Hoppo's book and has been up to a spot of self-moderation...

The Blues Brothers - Shake A Tail Feather
Macy Gray - I Try
Cranberries - Dream
Deacon Blue - Dignity

#58

I Try by Macy Gray - I call that the 'I Wore Goggles Song'. Listen to the chorus! :-)

Adam From Rio - that is a really good track - I think I know who Rev and The Makers have been listening to!

I think couldn't get it right must be the most played track this year on gio. Not that I'm complaining having been one of the requestees, though I don't remember what the theme was.

Really? I dont recall it - maybe I thought it was the Rev! Could track though really enjoyed it.

Havent heard the show yet, but sounds like Black Lace didnt get the nod then.

Norrie, thats a sample of Low Rider on their new single isnt it?
(Rev and the Makers that is, not Black Lace)

The conga made the montage.

Adam you are way ahead of me as usual - it is, but I am not at all familiar with the band War.

#66

Norrie - check out a track called Low Rider by War - I am sure you will kick yourself when you hear it!

OOPS! That's the track Adam mentioned - I should read before posting!

Norrie I'm really getting worried now. You dont know Geordie and you've never heard Low Rider.
I can only assume that JCBs weren't equipped with radios in the 70s,

Where's everybody gone? That's only the two posts in fifteen hours!

DC

No themes :o(

#71, it's never stopped the "Blog slabbers" in the past!

There you go. Just like Dundee buses. You wait ages then, when you turn your back, two come along at the same time...

DC

Where's Scotch gone by the way? Has he been excluded by the Alva Heidie? Is he outside the Depute Rector's room writing 2000 lines? Has he been referred to the Principal Teacher of Behaviour Support?

We need to be telt!

D(idnae) C(lype)

#73 & #75
Brilliant Glen!

#75 - Maybe they will let half a dozen bloggers hae a go at producing now.

Possible theme - Textures - rough, smooth, velvet, bumpy etc etc

must be loads of songs with those in it?

#79

'Anaglypta' painted magnolia... >8-O

Seriously theme suggestion would work. Good call Norrie.

#79, Does this mean that you will have to text your request?

;-)

DC

No DC write in with letters done with glue and sand, bits of stick etc.

Or that rubs thing on manholes, tree bark etc.

#82

Make sure you include a stamped and addressed envelope with your submissions.

And remember - it's two falls, two submissions or a knock out.

Since he was neglected on Europe night, here is a chance to hear the undersized, underplayed but hugely talented Milky Bar Kid lookalike Paul Williams. Excuse the snap, crackle and pop of the vinyl experience.

It won't matter to him because he's strong & tough...

DC

He was an orangutan in Battle for the Planet of the Apes. As the Glasgow Empire audience member remarked during Roy Castle's performance - "Is there no end to this man's talent?"

...only the best is good enough though

;-)

#86

Weirdly, I watched that movie just the other night - it's amazing how he can be recognised under all that makeup!

creamiest milk....
whitest bar...

Goodness!
