Mary Chapin Carpenter - I Take My Chances
Bruce Springsteen - Out In The Street

FRIDAY

'Pass' - Gerard Kelly and Karen Dunbar shall have the pleasure of my company at the King's Theatre ramorra!

I fear the skepticism of 'The True Voice of Reason' will be justified.

Shows which are themeless are also hopeless, or at best barely tolerable.
It's easy to tell when the patter is more entertaining than the music.

Being a pedantic bunch, bloggers need themes like children need boundaries.

Even shifting the goalposts leaves us feeling discombobulated!


Having said that, I would be happy were I proven to be wrong.


Y'all have a good weekend! S-g

FRIDAY:

'Rocket 88' - Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats (produced by Sam Phillips, features Ike Turner...a bit of Boogie-Woogie to kick off proceedings?)

Alice Cooper - 'I Never Cry' (Vincent the balladeer).

Carlton and the Shoes - 'Love Me Forever' (Very listenable rocksteady).

'Jim Dandy (To The Rescue)' - LaVern Baker.

'God Give Me Strength' - Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach.

'TEETH' by Lady Gaga from The Fame Monster is just brilliant.

Actually, I may very well be at the pictures, watching the Ian Dury biopic...but I can always listen later :-)

Hi Bryan
I think the first song for the first Friday night show should be - Things Can Only Get Better by D:REAM - simply for the reason that it reminds me of a lot of past family gatherings/social events.

Cheers
Rachel Traynor
Helensburgh

I'm Free - The Who
Georgy Girl - Seekers
Jammin - Bob Marley

Paul from Ayr

Surely the first song should be the Cure...

BTW, was I hallucinating all summer, or was there GiO on Fridays in the football interregnum..? (and no, disguising it with a *slightly* different title doesn't make it a different show)

#11

I'm apoloitical - but it's feelgood factor has been seriously diminished by it's political association - don't think it's a good show opener.

Umbrella by the Manic Street Preachers would be a bright cheery opening -- are there any songs about freezing fog?

regardez youse

Henri

Capt...yes you are right there was an extra show during the summmer - but it was on a Saturday.
Loving the suggestions so far, looking forward to a fun show tonight....so keep the ideas coming!

Re: Photie

Bryan,

Get with the program, laddie. You have to focus!


In an emergency contact Dr. Linda Papadopoulos.

>8-D

As it is Mr Bowie's birthday today how about one of the following:

Boys Keep Swinging, Modern Love, Heroes, Sound and Vision, John I'm Only dancing

ok some random suggestions for tonight

Winter in the Hamptons / Josh Rouse
(an appropriate opener don't you think)
Darkness on the edge of town / Bruce Springsteen
Move Away Jimmy Blue / Del Amitri
Bus Ride / Rocco da Luca
Till it Shines / Bob seger

and a wee uplifter
Don't You Worry bout a thing / Stevie Wonder

#16 agreed.

Anything by Blur it would seem......

#13 also agreed. A good Cure for Blur is:

It's Friday I'm in love

DC in Cellardyke

# so,has cellardyke been gritted now?

The obvious one is Friday On My Mind by the Easybeats

How about The Cure, Friday I'm in Love (perfect song for a Friday)and, since it's Elvis' birthday, how about a bit of Elvis - In the Ghetto?

Carol (from Madison, Wisconsin but ex-Ayr)

#20 No.

I was going to mention that but I got fed up of my own moanin!!!

Slip Slidin' Away - Paul Simon would be graaayyyytttt tonight, and rather apt!



:-0




DC in-a-still-white-because-of-nae-grit Cellardyke

I'm with #13, 19 and 22 for a bit of The Cure but maybe something less obvious but equally appropriate like High

Or a bit of Associates and Club Country

If it's Elvis tonight, I'm for 'The Power of My Love' from the Elvis In Memphis' album, though we had to think about Elvis quite a lot already this week.

Further to #9.

'Friday Night and Saturday Morning' - The Specials or Nouvelle Vague

More birthdays today:
Shirley Bassey - 'Never, Never, Never'
Little Anthony (and the imperials)- 'Going Out Of My Head'
Terry Sylvester of The Hollies - 'Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress'

Too cold and snowy here...I'll go to see the Ian Dury pic tomorrow afternoon.

Anyone think of a good song for the wimmins GB curlin team for the Olympics

Why?

Being requested from the kitchen (wife and daughter, where it's a bit nippy! Could we have The Rising by Bruce Springsteen. There could be two more listeners in this for you!!!!!

Or if Bruce is not available how about Promised Land by Johnny Allen or Pressure Drop by Toots and the Maytals or The Specials.

Apologies for the poor punctuation

~27 Roll Away the Stone????

well there you have it

Friday is no blog night


(Babs DID try...)

DC

Did not hear all the show (messing about trying to get an internet radio to work) DC but I am sure some blog requests were played?

#31

steady, DC, - it's early days and our hero obviously got swamped by all those stories about the proletariat and their Friday chomping.

You must remember Bryan has had no previous insight into Friday night chomping which is often at variance with the rest of the week,originally for religious reasons for some, but now because everyone is so frazzled by Friday, they have to do something different to stay sane.

( I've decided I like that - 'Frazzled by Friday')

After a long time of Monday - Thursday, our hero already knows quite a lot about weekday chomping and was probably taken aback by these new insights - so we'll have to let him settle into the non themed vibe - it wasn't that bad, didn't turn into George Bowie, thank god.

I'm not despondent, my list stands, so I'll re -submit it next week, perhaps with a note of the evening chomping as consumed by Smiffy, the morons and me.

Good first week,

regardez youse

Henri

#31 and if it wasn't the Friday chomping it was birthdays.

On the basis that there's more than 365 famous musical birthdays, then we're going to have to put up with this every night at this rate: it's okay but kind of defeats the 'open' nature of the Friday show.

The hairdressers five tracks left me depressed: I underwrite commercial insurance for a living, there's not much committed to song on the subject although the early Beatles recorded a track called 'Take Out Some Insurance on Me' with that bloke Sheriden (I keep thinking his name was Tommy, but that can't be right). I suppose I could get five tracks out of Fire, Storm, Tempest & Flood and death - which is kind of related.

I'm not sure I understood the basis of that section:

Anyway: the outstanding track of the last few shows has got to be

'Where Have All The Cowboys Gone' by Paula Cole - which I'd never heard before and blew me away - definitely deserves to be heard again.

I suppose I'll have to move this posting forward for next week?

regardez youse

#27
we had a fab 5 tonight for the GB curling team

Well must say I enjoyed all the shows this week, including the fab five on tonights show. I thought tonight was just about spot on with the mix of upbeat tracks wiand a good dose of great artists The Boss, AC/DC, Mozz, The Rats. Loved it. Have to say Black Eyed Peas is the standout feelgood song of the last year so great one to start with and I also apprecaited the shout for Human by the Killers which was one of the standout tracks of last year for me.

#32 yes, Norrie, they played yours - the Killers.

Must have been more - Born To Run?

You got that as well Norrie.....

And Morrisey

DC

#33 I blogged my menu for Hogmanay (cooked by yous truly & my dear wife) but unfortunately it didn't merit a mention. Perhaps lobster & salmon & trout & roast sirloin is too upbeat?

;-)

Well it was still an excellent show anyway....regardless of who suggested the tracks.

#31...sorry guys...I had 2 played tonight.

41/42

It was indeed a good show: don't take me out of context, just goofing about and trying to lift DC out of the cream puff. I'm always chuffed when my fellow bloggers are well represented - it usually provides tracks I'm keen to hear.

regardez youse

henri

#7

Ah yes, an excellent track.

#34

Pretend you're a space pilot and suggest some Bowie :-)

#40

The secret is to text in your food-related musing after around 6:30pm as by then the GIO team are starving!

#45 I am a space pilot! Well I have been to NASA should count?

I once visited the Italian branch of NASA. I told them 'NASA really excellente! But I nota go upa dere - ita too higha for mea.' They thought I was taking the p**s. What a cheek, I thought.

#48 Da moon is a made ofa da greena cheesea! Verde goode wida da pasta!!!

Good show tonight, with a lot of fine sangs. Babs did her best to get Bryan to listen...

I have never been an Elvis fan (I'm a mere twenty-odd years his junior) but I have really enjoyed the shows on ´óÏó´«Ã½4 tonight. A great guy, and sorely missed.

I still think Jim Reeves was a better singer.............

DC








DC has left the building

I agree DC I thought that the material on ´óÏó´«Ã½ 4 this week has been excellent!

BRING ME THE 'I'M FED UP TO THE BACK TEETH WITH ELVIS SOCIETY' OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

You're sounding all shook up there Jim....

Yup - I was even annoyed NOT to be able to fit that onto one line! :-)

Good to have you on fridays but it's odd choosing a song without a theme

Against all odds, Phil Collins
Need you tonight, INXS
You shook me all night long,AC/DC

Gordon, Kirrie
