´óÏó´«Ã½

Great Themes, Gram Parsons would be really really good to hear. He was in three bands as well as his solo career and plenty to chose from even though he died so young.

Anyway Monday gives the chance to request a really great Springsteen track:

Bruce Springsteen - Man At The Top

dont we hate it when our friends become successful?

I anticipate the full and unqualified support of Rich in North Carolina;

MONDAY

'Fifteen Minutes' - Kirsty MacColl


"Then there's always the cash!
Selling your soul for some trash
Smiling at people that you cannot stand
You're in demand;
Your fifteen minutes start now..."

One that would be good to hear on monday would be

Star / Nazareth.

Don't think I've ever heard it on the radio but it tells the story of a guy whose girl has no time for him now that she's made it. Similarly

'Everything that glitters is not gold / Dan Seals

would also be appropriate but I got it on before so won't push my luck.

And Finally a wee guilty pleasure

The Hungry Years / Neil Sedaka.







Oh and there can't be many more vicious songs for an ex than
Death on Two Legs / Queen

''You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride''
is one of the milder lines.

Not that i'm suggesting it for mine...just making an observation :-)

Tues
Chris Grant drums with Hercules Mandarin, The Hussy's and Journeybox.

Always Never / Hercules Mandarin
We Expected / The Hussy's

That's a pint you owe me son :-)

Can we have 'Band on the Run' for Tuesday's programme?
And for Thursday, another Kirsty MacColl suggetion -There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis.

Thoughts for the week ahead:

Monday - Fame (struggled with this)

Life's been good to me - Joe Walsh
Rehab - Amy Winehouse
Money for nothing - Dire Straits

Tuesday - "double-top"

If You Gotta Go, Go Now or Blinded by the Light - Manfered Mann and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, respectively
All Right Now or Can't Get Enough - Paul Rodgers with Free and Bad Company respectively

Wednesday - Fashion (really struggled with this....)

The angels wanna wear my red shoes - Elvis Costello
Forever in blue jeans - Neil Diamond
I thought you should know - Steve Earle (for reference to the classic "little black dress")

You'll never find another love like mine - Lou Rawls

Fool if you think it's over - Chris Rea
In the absence of your company or I’m alright or To tell the truth - Kim Richey
If you see her say hello – Dylan (the only song of his I can bear!)
Rewind - Paulo Nutini
Still within the sound of my voice - Linda Ronstadt

Tuesday....Timothy B Schmidt
A member of both Poco and The Eagles

I Can't Tell You why / Eagles
Love Will Keep Us Alive / Eagles

I can't tell you why is one of my all time favourite songs and was written by Schmidt. Alternatively Love will keep us alive was cowritten by Schmidt and Paul Carrack, himself a member of umpteen different groups.



Wed
Hi Heel Sneakers / Tommy Tucker
The best song you'll play all week.



Thu Songs for my Ex
Doin Fine Now / New York City
Drops of Jupiter /Train

Not really appropriate for myself but I do hope someone requests Getting Over You by Janis Ian which is spine tingling.

Monday - Oasis "Rock and Roll Star" - great memories of living in London when the whole Britpop thing kicked off and many nights watching great bands who so passionately believed they would make it and sadly didn't.
Wonder where they are now?!

Tuesday - Vote for Gram Parsons "She" Pure beauty on a record

Wednesday - "Little Red Shoes" Loretta Lynn & Jack White. Brilliant, classic storytelling through a song.

Thursday - lucky to still speak to a couple of my ex's so no real suggestions for this one as not enough emotion either way! I am not so sure they would be so stuck if you asked them the same question ;-)

Happy weekend everyone

Mazzy :-)

TUESDAY:

RONNIE LANE (Small Faces, The Faces, Slim Chance) - 'How Come'

Rod Argent (The Zombies, ARGENT) - 'HOLD YOUR HEAD UP'

Wilko Johnson (DR FEELGOOD, Wilko Johnson's Solid Senders) - 'ROXETTE'

Good themes again. Thursday's should be a cracker!

Mon. STAR - Gerry Rafferty

Tues. RONNIE WOOD - Faces & Stones - STAY WITH ME

Wed. IN THESE SHOES? - Bette Midler

Thurs. Not applicable. I married my first love. My beloved informs me that I am blissfully happy and should leave this theme to those poor souls less fortunate. But if someone were to ask for HERE'S A QUARTER (CALL SOMEONE WHO CARES) - Travis Tritt - they could count on my support.

Hi Bryan, I usually text in as Pat fae Perth, ken? Anyway, been on holiday and back now.

Monday night? How about Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell, Gonna Make You a Star by David Essex, Silver Star by the wonderful Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons (tenous) though does have the following line "In my dream I'm a desert hero, Bigger than Valentino"

Or the equally great Country Boy by Glen Campbell (surely a must)

Cheers

Hi Bryan,

for Wednesdays show you would really need to include Jacquelines Shoes by the wonderful and scottish James Grant.

Cheers

Hi All...

Mon....

Nickelback......... Rockstar

Tuesday...

(Wonder if i'll get a shout for suggesting this theme?)

Anyway, i'm going to ask for the fabulous and severely underrated Ronnie Lane...(Small Faces - Slim Chance).... one of British Rocks gentlemen

Slim Chance ....... How come?

incidentally Slim Chance also had Benny Gallagher & Graham Lyle in the line up .... this theme could go on and on and on


Wed...

Paul Weller .........Peacock Suit


Thur...

I don't have an ex, as we have been together since we were sixteen :o)

But a cracker would be

Passing Strangers....... Sarah Vaughn and Billy Eckstein




F I D

If the family come up with anything else I'll try to post.

#16
i sincerely hope so.....

#10
Sorry Julie.... Note to self-- Read the blog before you post!!

#17
Dear Bryan.... may i second Scotch's suggestion ... thank you

#21, #18 Nothing to be sorry about, in fact I was pleased to realise it was your theme then perhaps 'How Come' might be played. Scotch - that was cheeky.

Monday - Fame:

Peter Gabriel - Big Time

Fame - David Bowie
Real Celebrities - Plugs
Sunset Strip - Roger Waters

IT'S TOO LATE - Carole King

DOES MY RING BURN YOUR FINGER? - Lee Ann Womack

#14 - Frank, could we maybe link up Fatboy Slim (aka Norman Cooke) from your Slim lead? The only Housemartin to have reinvented himself as a succesful solo artist...I say artist but I am sure the music purists policing the blog will pull me up for that ;-)

Mazzy

Monday:

Springsteen - Man At The Top
The Byrds - So You Want To Be A Rock n Roll Star
Joe Walsh -Life's Been Good

and there are some who don,t like the fame

Van Morrison with the Chieftans - Why Must I Always Explain (great track)

meant to include

Elvis - Long Black Limosine

#3, is that a bit of reverse psychology??

Suggestions for
Monday:- Emily, by either Hot Chocolate or Sisters of Mercy, though the latters version might be a bit long.
Rule the World, Take That
The Last of the famous International Playboys, Morrisey
and rather than Fame, how about Ziggy Stardust, Bowie

Tuesday:- I'd like to 2nd #11's suggestion "Stay With Me" and add
Peter Hook (and others) Joy Division/New Order, Atmosphere/Regret
Godley & Creme/10cc, The Things we do for Love/Cry (for Val)
Dave Grohl, Nirvanna/Foo Fighters, Teen Spirit/Learn to Fly
Lemmy, Motorhead/Hawkwind, Iron Horse/Silver Machine
There's a couple of the same pairs as #20 but I'v tried to choose different songs.
Looking forward to Monday then...

Thursday Exes (all live in Texas)

#3

Yeah, some fun lyrics there. But then, I'm gonna chip in some Marillion, and She Chameleon in particular is fun, although definitely not suitable for a tea-time show.

Some artistes do major on this as a theme - Fish is one of them, but I guess I'm gonna go for that wonderfully tender (rather than bitter) documentor of lost loves, Billy Bragg, and any of these do the job nicely:

* The Saturday Boy (ah but we had it last week)
* Walk Away Renee
* St Swithin's Day
* A Lover Sings
although
* Levi Stubbs' Tears is very much darker

#25
a man of many names. It would be good to hear Freakpower again, Turn on tune in cop out

#28
Emma / Hot Chocolate is an inspired choice.

Some other great picks as well. Forgot about Shooting Star / Bad Company for my picks earlier.

Monday Fame (and right here's where you start paying):

* Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar
Quite the best expose of being gladhandled by record companies when you make it, complete with execs pretending to be your friends when all they know comes from a 1 page briefing they glanced at 5 minutes ago.

And once you've got that fame, you get the
* Pink Floyd - Money
to go with it (as long as your accountant is good and also honest)
But, being famous is really, really great:
* Marillion - Incommunicado
for about five minutes... and then it gets old, really quickly, and then it's not fun any more:
* Marillion - Freaks
And then people fall in love with your image, not you:
* The Passions - I'm In Love with a German Film Star
Strange days indeed:
* Lennon - Nobody Told Me

* The Hooters - Satellite
is about fame in a different context, but still, being too big for your boots.

Big probs to JFE for being the only other person who knows about Radio KAOS. It's a bit odd considering Sunset Strip out of context of the album's narrative, but yeah, it works for the theme on the level of Hey, I'm in LA... how'd that happen? Although perhaps Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in LA does it a bit more clearly (there's a great cover by The Twang on the Radio 1 20th Anniversary album).

Still, not bad for a bunch of local lads:
* Sawdoctors - All the way from Tuam

Thursday Exes part II:

* Sting - I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying
* The Kinks - Lola
* The Specials - Too Much Too Young
* The Human League - Don't You Want Me?
* Sawdoctors - Red Cortina (You Broke My Heart isn't about a girlfriend...)

If we're going to have Roxanne, can we please have the version from Moulin Rouge:
* Ewan Macgregor/Jose Feliciano - El Tango De Roxanne

Tuesday Oops I Did It Again (with another band)
surely has to include some (or fewer) of:
* Lemmy
* Clapton
* Ginger Baker
* Jack Bruce
* Peter Green
* Neil Young
* Cozy Powell
* Greg Lake
* Keith Emerson
* Stewart Copeland
* Joe Strummer
* Mick Jones
and all members of The Traveling Wilburies.

Presumably we're considering Warsaw/Joy Division/New Order as essentially one band?

#33
Also
Annie Lennox/Dave Stewart
Siobhan Fahey (which gives you another Stay (With Me))

MONDAY

Gonna Make You a Star by David Essex
Where do you go to my lovely by Peter Sarsted

Maria! Great to see you back again!

Julie! Sorry, Julie-san. Just pulling your pigtails. Penitent git.

The Boss next door (not Springsteen) has left a wee prezzy for us.

#31

It's a club that has few members... :-)

#33

Damn - everybody on my list is on yours! I'm not ripping you off... Honest guv!

#36 "check it out"

"Pillow talk experience"????!!......aahhhaaa ;o)

#37

I've a video of the whole album somewhere...
aha:


(and btw, it should have been big props to you)

All these Kirsty MacColl suggestions, and not a one of them from me! Who would've imagined it?!?

Rich

#41
Yep, and no-one's even mentioned Kirsty's cover of New England for Thursday...

Style Council - Shout to the top

When I get to the top I'll definetly be shouting!!

Gordon,Kirrie

Monday Fame

Show Biz Kids - Steely Dan
Ballad of John & Yoko - John Lennon
Super Trooper - Abba

Monday

She's A Star - James
Stardust - David Essex or Oh What A Circus (sings about Eva Peron)
The Band Who Wouldn't Die / Wolf At The Door - Rock Follies
Star - Kiki Dee
Space Oddity - David Bowie. 'You've really made the grade.....planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do'. A little bit convoluted...I know:-)

#43

"We're going to the Top!"
"What Top?"
"The Very Top!"
()

I'll get me coat.

#1 Norrie

#47 Frank - that was superb, I need to track down that film. Thansk for that link.

#48

your very welcome Norrie

#48

the film was a ´óÏó´«Ã½FOUR production...... so it might be on IPLAYER

OMG... Bros. Funny how NOBODY in here asked for it!

#51 Aye - they'll be playing Joe Dolce before you know it!! ;o)

#19 Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Mr M!
You're back.

Correct....Jim, nobody in here asked for Bros. But someone did!
All requests received equally!!! And as ever the blog has had a good shout tonight!

#54

Indeed! Really enjoying the show tonight! Bassoon shmassoon! :-)

Oasis were fine, btw - great track and right on theme.

There's a great ´óÏó´«Ã½ interview with Noel G where he was talking about being at an awards ceremony with some other art-school type band who were moaning about all the fans out on the red carpet, and that they didn't get into music for all the attention of fame. Noel's observation was that that was *exactly* why he got into it.

And that track isn't about being the huge successful star; it's acting like the star even when you've not made it. As Noel put it: I've got a Gibson, I wear shades indoors, I don't have a day job. Therefore to me, I'm a Rock and Roll Star, even long before I'd sold any records.

#56 ?!?

Miss Babs plays Oasis to wind us up.

It is inconceivable that anyone could actually like that horrible noise.

>8-D

Tues.

BRING ME THE HEADBANDS OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

Tuesday:

Stuart Adamson - Skids / Big Country / Raphaels

Skids - Arena or preferably The Raphaels - My Only Crime

Gram Parsons - International Submarine Band / Flying Burrito Brothers / Byrds

ISMB - Luxury Liner or Byrds - One Hundred Years From Now (but the alt version with Gram on lead vocals - sublime and by mt reckoning one of Ryan Adams inspirations).

Karl Wallinger - Waterboys / World Party

Waterboys - The Big Muisc (also featuring Eddi Reader) or World Party - Put The Message In The Box

Bruce Foxton - The Jam / Stiff Little Fingers / Casbah Club

The Jam - News of The World or SLF - The Message (cover of Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five track)

All great artists I think. A wee cheat would have been the Hunter Ronson Band to get either of those two artists in - but another time maybe!

Catchin up with todays show on i-player, the Bros comments on the blog beginning to make sense now!
Thought of a few ideas for tomorrow night but seeing as some of them already touched on by others, eg Clapton, Weller, i'll leave it alone.

Wednesday; My Favourite Dress - The Wedding Present (would be great to hear it on GIO)
Undone (the Sweater Song)- Weezer
Thursday; Give me my Money Back - Ben Folds 5, would be great but some bad words on it, so how about
Always Remember Me - The Noisettes.

PP did you ever hear Tam Cowans interview with Neil Sedaka? One of the funniest bits of cheek ever from Tam, I'm sure he couldn't believe he got away with it.

I have a few thoughts for Thursday but wanted to get this one in. The song is one which was first released by Brenda Lee. Always On My Mind, to me there are 3 stunning versions of this song. Ryan Adams and The Cardinals, Elvis Presley and the amazing Willie Nelson version. I would love to hear any of these versions.

Check willie showing the youngsters how to do it!

#61

Norrie,

Yeah, nobody sings it like Willie. On Thursday I will, in Bryan's words, 'go bitter and twisted.'

I have just the song in mind to dedicate to the mad mental witch who smashed my heart to smithereens then danced upon the debris. Not that I'm vindictive, you understand...

All of which reminds we of two previously suggested themes:

Originally a b side (eg Gloria for Them, always on my mond for Elvis)

and

2:59 - the classic short sharp hit!

Mond??

#64

Just as well you can't spell in Latin.

It's uncanny.

Spell in Latin - pretty unlikely I am afraid - let me try and master English then I will take it from there!

As Crocodile Dundee might put it: That's not a bassoon; this is a bassoon

#60
I never actually, tell me more. Funnily enough my ex was a fan of Sedakas more mellow stuff and I got to like some of it but never really enjoyed watching him perform. There was something about his liveshows that had me shifting uncomfortably in my seat.

#62
No one sings anything like Willie. Your such a tease Scotch. I think we're all waiting to see which little ditty you're gonna come up with for your former darling.

Two shots at fame? Billy Idol.

Firstly with Generation X and then his solo career.

I'd like to request for tonight's show King Rocker by Generation X.

Remember this coming out as a single in four different picture sleeves.

LLIM.

#70

Hehe... that was funny!

#71

Really? It might depend on Thursday's producer. Miss Babs is not enamoured of the singer/songwriter in question.

Maybe I'll request via email and just wait to see if it's played...










exasperating git

Yes it's me on Thursday Scotch! Now would this singer/songwriter be someone I've mentioned in public I'm not enamoured of.....or is this based on assumption? Never a good base with a woman! And of course she's always entitled to change her mind!

#74, 75

I think we are dtsrting to detect a pattern here - wondering what Scotch's tune is going to be now! I'll never profess to understand women fully, but I know when to bow and scrape and provide copious amounts of Belgian chocolate as and when... ;-)

That way my socks get washed. HURRAH!

dtsrting? And it's not even Latin.

Another for Tuesday:

The Assembly - Never Never


This track features Vince Clark (depeche Mode, Assembly, Yazoo, erasure), Feargal Sharkey (Undertones, Assembly) and session work from Clem Clempson (Colosseum, Humble Pie).

Great 80's single!

Good shout Norrie!

Wednesday:

Underpants - John Foxx

If you followed that with "Into The Valley" we could have a musical wedgie on the wireless!

The latter is by The Skids , so that fits too.

Another for Wednesday:

Prince Charming - Adam Ant

Thursday
Is she really going out with him? Joe Jackson
Good year for the Roses: Elvis Costello
Jilted John by Jilted John
There's a guy down at the chip shop : Kirsty MacColl

from Kenny in Holland alias Tannadicearab NOT TANNADICE RAB as annouced last week!

Tuesday - Two Band Folks

Jimmy Page - Yardbirds / Led Zeppelin

Anything from "Zep 4" would be good!

Tuesday Recycled Pop Stars:

* Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Lucky Man
Triple strength recycling, which has a facemelter of a synthesiser solo; one of the best on record

* The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
As Robert Smith also played guitar in Siouxsie & the Banshees

* Neil Young - Harvest Moon
Perfect for the dreich weather out there

* Traveling Wilburys - End of the Line
Multiple scores here again - Lynn, Harrison, Petty as well as solo artistes.

* This Mortal Coil - I Want to Live
TMC (although the , describing it as a collaboration of musicians. Sounds like a band to me...) featured both Elizabeth Fraser & Robin Guthrie, or The Cocteau Twins as they were then known. On that project, they got to know Simon Raymonde who later joined them.

The short instrumental:
* This Mortal Coil - Meniscus
will likely ring bells with GiO's many Sigur Ros fans.

Big second also for JFE's Tuesday suggestions
* Mike Oldfield - On Horseback
* The Police - Message in a Bottle

Tuesday:-
Foo Fighters - Times Like These ( Dave Grohl in the Foos and Nirvana),

Wednesday:-
Neil Diamond - Forever in Blue Jeans

Thursday:-
Fleetwood Mac - Go your own way
or Fleetwood Mac - Silver Springs

#83 Song to the Siren?

#72

Speaking of Generation X, does anyone else think that the song that the Weird Sisters played at the Yule Ball in Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire sounds awfully like Dancing with Myself?

And as the lead singer of the Weird Sisters was one Jarvis Cocker, does that mean we can get some Pulp tonight? Say Something Changed?

#86

Yup, that definitely works. Would have suggested The Jeweller, but it's not Liz singing.

Wednesday,
Flares and Slippers - Cockney Rejects
You Wear it Well - Rod Stewart

Thursday,
Ammendment to my post #60, Ben Folds 5 song's called "Song for the Dumped", real shame bout the swear word coz it really catches the mood, and, the Noisettes song is of course "Never Forget You".
Couple more for that night
Since I Left You - Avalanches
Don't Call Me Baby - Voice of the Beehive

#70 - It was on Radio Scotland, Cowan Meets the Crooners. Sedaka was in the middle of telling Tam how he was discovered as a young boy. The sound of his playing and singing was heard by this woman upstairs in his apartment building, Neil said "So she sent her son downstairs to knock on my door and..." but before he could go any further Tam butted in "...And tell ye tae shut the windae". It was like it fell out of Tam's mouth before he could check himself but luckily for him it seemed to go over Sedaka's head. Don't think he'll top that line if he lives to be a hundred and five.

This Is Not A Song

It's a mnemonic.

Is that catching?

#81

ASSALAM ALAIKUM

#92

On the news a total banker said we were in the middle of a mnemonic crisis.

>8-D

#76

Jim,

That is inspired! I'll be down at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ on Thursday afternoon with goodies.

Not to exert undue influence, merely to show my favourite producer how much I appreciate her!











git who has sunk lower than a snake in a submarine...

So much for the restraining order.

Another night of mince so far, apart from the Zombies and Faces.

Glad you are enjoying the show Glen!

Bob Fae Glessart and I used to be known as Statler and Waldorf - I'm sure which I was.

Come back PIL - all is forgiven

#95

I hear fresh (pre-killed) lobster works too.
