My tape player is chewing up the tapes, there is no tracklist on the tapes and my memory is notoriously unreliable. I'll just laugh at everyone else's requests.

>8-D

I did my Top 20 on cassette and have since transferred it to CD. I'll look it out later

In the meantime, the quiz CD has arrived. I'll send a copy into the show!

MONDAY

As I will be a spectator rather than a participant on Monday, I would dearly love to hear something from the mix-tape of our beloved presenter.
(see photograph at top of page)

OK pop pickers, here's DC's Top 20 cassette listing:

In at number 17 (OK, it was a C90 which meant I had to leave out three....)

Need your love so bad - Fleetwood Mac (the Peter Green crowd)
16 Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac (the newer Stevie Nicks set up)
15 Without you - Harry Nilsson
14 Broken down angel - Nazareth
13 Have I told you lately - Van Morrison
12 Blinded by light The Rolling Stones
11 Mother Nature's Son - The Beatles
10 Sara - Fleetwood Mac
9 Driftwood - Travis
8 Sacrifice - Sinead O'Connor
7 Angie - The Rolling Stones
6 Let it be - The Beatles
5 Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
4 Here comes the sun - The Beatles
3 Imagine - John Lennon
2 Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin
1 Hey Jude - The Beatles

Obviously the top 2 would be re-written to suit my musical tastes today. But hey, it's what I liked a few years ago!

I also gave my tapes titles. This one is called Stairway to Haven after the climb to the bar at our local hostelry) and another was Dark Side of the May (a reference to the island on the horizon)

Top 2 should read top 20 of course...

MONDAY: HENRI'S ADVENTURES WITH AUDIO TAPE.

None of my hitherto gargantuan collection of mixed tapes to play in the car (or those made for parties) now exist and I'd be dishonest to say I could remember the contents with any precision.

So I have only two tracks that stand out for inclusion tonight and coming from my cassette mixing.

It was an accident that the Sony turntable my dad bought as part of my 21st required you to 'slide' between 33rpm - 45rpm, but what it also meant was that you could play things at any speed in between.

This was often amusing and occasionally useful.

I once had a 'chunk' of tape at the end of one side that wasn't big enough for a 3 minute track and formed the view that I could get Neil Young's 'Till The Morning Comes' tucked in at the end.

I misjudged this and from about half way through the track, began to gradually increase the speed on the turntable until, just before the end of the track and the tape it reached Pinky and Perky levels, but finished within the tape available.

Incredibly, many people, including myself, thought it both amusing and an improvement.

The other benefit of this sliding turntable was for parties - those tracks that can be made a bit more danceable by being sped up a bit and included on a mixed tape.

The most memorable of these is the much loved Doobie Brothers classic 'What A Fool Believes' which becomes quite danceable about 38/39 without spoiling the quality or feel of the track. Even all these years later when I hear it I still think it too slow and that my primitive 'dance' version was better! I wish I could find it now.

You should try it!

So, for Monday,

Till The Morning Comes - Neil Young

What A Fool Believes - The Dooble Brothers

regardez - youse

I love how Bryan's Jethro Tull mix tape is of course a C120 - you really need the full two hours to get in all the great stuff. :-)

#8

Indeed!

Also, balancing on one foot whilst playing the flute would improve Bryan's posture dramatically! His dance teacher would be well chuffed.

N.B. Of course, he shouldn't forget to swap occasionally.

Do you think he will be dancing the 'Bouree'?

hi ,
I want really to say that Thanks to share this ..

other brands of audio tape were also available.....as they say on the bbc.

My favourite mixtape moment was not from one of my own but from Friends.


My Funny Valentine / Janice

Oh.............My...................God!







why did car manufacturers never make door trays big enough to hold a stack of tapes. I'd go to change a tape and lacerate my hand on all the broken cassette cases stuffed in there.

TUESDAY: TAKE

TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME - SUPERTRAMP

Not only is this a lovely, melodic, radio friendly and beautifully played track, I just love the sentiment and, like many of us - I guess - I have lived it out.

Those days when you come out of your work knackered or troubled and you know you've got to go back, but cannot the face the 'other' - the domestic life that you sometimes feel you've become unrelated to.... those days when you just want a little time and space to yourself, to imagine how things could be different or better.. and all you can get is to find something to listen to in the car ...and so you just drive: you take the long way home.

It expresses perfectly all those feelings of alienation, frustration and loss of identity that we all sometimes feel in our inability to balance out the different lives we lead.

It should be played for all who have ever done it and for all those driving home just now, who are doing just exactly that - for whom 'Get It On' manages the transition form one life to another - and who will arrive home in a better frame of mind for taking the long way home whilst listening to music in the car.

Speak nicely to Mr Git and he'll send you the link to the codes.

#25

Dear Mr Git,

I have long admired your blog contributions and have laughed out loud at your jokes - most recently your definition of 'Country & Western'.

I believe it to be nothing short of absolutely disgraceful that the GIO team have repeatedly failed to play your requests for Jethro Tull (among others).It is, after all, a request show which should cater for minorities, in line with the ´óÏó´«Ã½ charter.

It is simply wrong that you are being endlessly sidelined in favour of the instantaneous vox pop requests from social network sites, and worse still, whilst others are being rewarded for carrying out the dangerous habit of texting whilst driving.

It is hard for myself and your fellow bloggers to witness.

Paulo says you know have the codes to do the bold & blue thingy's and I wondered if you could pass them onto me, in order that my blogging experience is made all the more rewarding.

I wish you all the very best with your Tull campaign in the future.

L&K

p.s. there's no rush - Smiffy is about to haul me off to see some gypsy dance troupe at Celtic Connections.

Must have missed out as I had more cassettes than storage space in the 70s, but I never got the length of making a mix tape.
I'll join you on the sidelines SG. Maybe just as well else I'd be on a "Hat-Trick"!

What a fun afternoon I've had down memory lane trying to think what was on those tape mixes. Being diverted down roads not travelled for a while - Robert Cray for instance, a huge fan at one time and now remembering why.
I've ruthlessly chucked all my tapes, but these are what I remember from some of the mixes I made for the work Christmas party where everyone brought in their own tape and drunken brawls broke out as we each tried to hog the tape recorder
In no particular order:
The Pretender, Jackson Browne;
More than a Feeling, Boston;
Hollywood Nights, Bob Seger;
Be Good to Yourself, Frankie Miller;
Sweet Little Sixteen, Ten Years After;
Can't Get Enough, Bad Company;
Rat Trap, Boomtown Rats;
Ramblin' Man, Allman Bros;
Oliver's Army, Elvis Costello;
Knockin' on Heaven's Door, Bob Dylan;
Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo, Rick Derringer;
Smoking Gun, Robert Cray
and for Give and Take:

Gimme Shelter, Stones - one of my all time top ten
Gimme All Your Lovin', ZZ Top
Take Good Care of Yourself, Frankie Miller;
Every Breath You Take, Police;
Take a Little Piece of My Heart, Dusty Springfield;

#28 Dylan, Costello & Bad Co on the same tape, impressive!
I'll 2nd your mix Gaie!

Paul from Ayr

Monday: Mix tape.

I always hated mix tapes and still do to this day. I generally only listen to complete albums. I hate to cherry pich from albums or I-tunes etc so I am stuclk for a suggestion for this one. I will have to think of a non album song. There are a few Roxy/Ferry tracks but will go for a Sylvian track Heartbeat, or Forbidden Colours.

J.O'B.

#29 cheers, Paul - now if everyone else at the party had thought the same there'd have been no squabbling. Or maybe there would, given the amount of alcohol taken. And I see now they're not what you'd call top dance tracks.

NEWSFLASH!

Buy a Macca CD tomorrow and get a free Scottish Mail on Sunday.

Other Sunday newspapers are available!!

WEDNESDAY : PHOBIAS: 1: THE GRIM REAPER.

I have long held a deep seated fear of bumping into the grim reaper.

Consequently, could you play:

Don't Fear the Reaper - by - The Blue Oyster Cult.

regardez youse

Henri

#36

Better not watch then.

#34

Thanks SG, I'm not much further forward but will find a way.

Yes, but I am self evidently not Miss Babs:of the many identities I've been assumed to have, this is as bizarre as me sending you kisses - there are, of course, no circumstances in which I could bring myself to broadcast Adam Ant to the nation, when there are so many more artistes deserving of air time.

I can't take any credit for this. It was posted on the PM blog by a regular contributor. I'm just passing it on.



Have fun!

Dear God,

Being Scotch-git and Henri is so tiring. There just aren't enough hours in the day. Please get me out of this hole I've dug myself into, and I promise never to be naughty again. Amen.

P.S.

"I've dug myself into," should read "into which I've dug myself,"

My therapist insists that God answers only those prayers that are grammatically correct.

That would explain a lot...

#32

What kind of business allows a situation to develop where the staff end up brawling over a tape player? A recipe for disaster - everyone bring a tape and then hitting the electric soup.

It's interesting though how people react over different media - people never used to come into your house and start rummaging through your vinyl and changing the record - yet people walk in here, pick up the ipod, find something more interesting to them, and change the track.

Bloody cheek.

Great tracks on your mixed tape - some old favourites there - and Ten Years After!

Where were you when I was getting involved with someone who liked James Last?... no wonder it didn't last, still, I've got the kids to show for it.

WEDNESDAY: PHOBIAS 2 - FLYING

Among the worst: fear of flying is a real stranglehold on modern living.

I'm consequently not that well traveled and am the only person I know who has driven from Glasgow to a conference at Gatwick Airport.

I got over it about three years ago when myself and my mates decided to go to Amsterdam for a weekend/ football match. As we got closer to it, I got more and more anxious. With two weeks to go I signed up for a BA 'Fear of Flying' course over a weekend at Manchester Airport.

It was one of the very best decisions I've ever made, changed my life.

It wasn't that I couldn't fly - I could always grit my teeth and get through it if there really was no other way.

Ironically, when I got there I realised I didn't really have a fear of flying at all, and was introduced to some real sufferers.

What I had was basic ignorance of aerodynamics, which, once explained I was fine.

Now, I actively enjoy it and have been for flying lessons - if I had more time I'd go for my license.

Anyone who 'puts up' with but doesn't care for flying should go on such a course.

Anyway, to celebrate overcoming this phobic stranglehold could you play

'Stranglehold' by Wings: (strictly speaking a Macca solo, but a very under rated track)

regardez - youse

#44 well now we know that Henri didn't drive into Glasgow Airport from a conference at Gatwick.

He could actually be Smeato. Better no' mess wi him. Kain?

I can confirm 2 things....I am neither Scotch-Git nor am I Henri. And as I have met both of them, I can also confirm they are not one and the same.
I am Miss Babs.....The Real McCoy, The One and Only.
Ok...back to cassette mix tapes, anyone else use a C90 as a timer for sunbathing? Ah that's me back to memories of sunny Greece.

MONDAY

After all the yelling I've done at the radio each time 'Camouflage' (which I cannot stand) gets an airing, I'm amused that the first compilation tape song that springs to mind is the theme tune to the film Kelly's Heroes - 'BURNING BRIDGES' - THE MIKE CURB CONGREGATION.

Taping off the radio was always annoying because of DJs talking over intros (and sometimes butting in every 30 seconds)...funnily enough, I tuned in to Radio 2 to hear how Chris Evans was getting on and he was talking over just about everything.

Other stuff I remember having on mixtapes ranges from 'ANGIE' - ROLLING STONES, 'WHODUNNIT' - TAVARES, 'SEX AND DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL' - IAN DURY (I really enjoyed the film by the way) to an easy listening, orchestra-backed version of 'Pretty Vacant' - I don't think I ever knew who that was by.

#44
Amsterdam for a football match?












Most folk go to see ann frank's pad

#47
Scotch Git Master of Disguise.

#44

Upon reflection, I suppose it's unlikely Stranglehold will get played(no matter how good) so perhaps I should play safe and ask for:

'Learning to Fly' by Tom Petty. or

Flying High - Jem

(I bought Jem's album a year or so ago and I'm really enjoying it now - not many artists would sample The Swingle Singers doing Bach)

#47

Was that sunbathing in Sidari, Corfu - then 'home of hedonism' before Malia took over?

#49

It's true. It started as a day out for no reason at all; going to see a football team you nothing about. Initially it was Carlisle, Preston North End and Crewe and suchlike - and then we started getting more adventurous - we went to see Ajax v Vitesse Arnhem for no reason other than it was good day (weekend) out - which it was. What a stadium! The corners are glass fronted with bars behind them, so if it's cold you can stand in the bar and watch the game. Great fun. I never understood why Dutch fans were so un-animated and laid back, but the truth is they watch the game whilst getting quietly stoned. The atmosphere around the stadium teaches you a lot about the reality of passive smoking.

Never did make to Anna Frank's house, or the Van Gough museum, despite my best endeavours - but nothing more racy either - the truth is we got lost and ended up walking round the Heiniken Brewery endlessly whilst trying to remember where the hotel was.

regardez youse

Henri

#42 not a business, a research lab and it was the abs alc in the punch that did the damage.

Liking Ten Years After doesn't guarantee success in relationships either, but I also have the kids and am going to send the mix list to my son to see what he makes of it.

I realize Robert Cray wouldn't have been on that tape - he came later, I'm just amazed at how many tracks I did remember and will try to ignore the worrying inability to recall what I was doing on Friday when I go back to work tomorrow.

#41 I think you must be that DJ from Bute-FM, whose father taught me English

For Tues..

Take These Chains From My Heart................ Ray Charles

For Wed...

Really don't like snakes, devious little gets as you'll here in...

Al Wilson ............ The Snake

I'll second the snake cos it's such a good tune. I once did the 'pose for a photo with a snake around your neck' bit on holiday. Was never afraid before but after feeling it's power as it tried to coil I doubt I would do it again.


Wednesday
Don't Be Afraid of the dark / Robert Cray Band

I used to have a phobia which stemmed from a night out many moons ago in Strathclyde Student Union. At that time my last bus back to Airdrie on a saturday night left at half twelve and if I missed it I was snookered cos as a poor student I couldn't afford a taxi. So at 12.25 on a saturday night with a few pints inside me, I reckon I had just enough time to nick in to the toilets in Buchanan St bus station for a pee. I was the only one in when another guy came in and with 49 vacant stalls to choose from, stands in the one next to me. Now I know know it's well nigh impossible to do but that night I managed it. I froze in midpee. Tucked myself away and legged it back to the bus. For the next 45 minutes of my journey home my bladder screamed at me, I was bent double, my eyes fogged over, I started hallucinating and lost all sense of feeling in every other part of my body. All I could feel was my bladder. I'd like to sincerely apologise to anyone who had to use that Airdrie bus shelter on the sunday morning. It took me a long long time before I was able to pee next to someone again. Didn't understand

As for a song?

"If you don't mind me saying, some of you appear to be slightly unhinged."

An ammendment to this statement is required. Delete slightly. Insert totally.

I may be unhinged but I can spell amendment

OMG, what have I said? Ignore it, they'll never notice.

For Monday - Guilty - Barbra Streisand & Barry Gibb

Living Next Door To Alice - Smokie

When we moved house in 1981 the boy next door gave me a tape. Lots of songs on it, these were the only two I liked. As he handed me the tape he blushed and stuttered that he had always admired me "from afar." He was next door! Idiot.


For Tuesday - Give A Little Love - Bay City Rollers

I wonder if I can still squeeze into my white jeans with the tartan seams?

Take Me Home, Country Roads - Olivia Newton-John

She always makes me cry. It's like feeling nostalgic for things you've never seen.


For Wednesday - Bridge Over Troubled Water - Elvis 5:-)

Bridges over canyons, wadis and dry gulches don't concern me. Bridges over water freak me out.

Money - Liza Minnelli & Joel Grey

I was at home having coffee and chatting with a neighbour when a phone call informed me that my Mum had been rushed into hospital. My neighbour kindly dropped me the Glasgow Royal where Mum was thankfully stable. Only then did I discover I had grabbed the wrong handbag. Money, credit cards and mobile phone were all in another bag, which was sitting in my kitchen. I have never felt so helpless. Eventually the nurse in charge of the ward arranged for a taxi to take me home on the hospital's account, but ever since I find myself obsessively checking my bag for purse, phone etc. That feeling of helplessness left a deep impression.


For Thursday - This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us - Sparks

Russell's hair I love. He's so cute! His brother is the culprit. And why does he wear that silly moustache? Aaargh!!

White Wedding - Billy Idol

Words fail me. He looks like a stupid wee lassie.

#64 No. I am now an Inverclyder and have never been to the jazz festival, though I'm told it's one of the best, or was in its heyday. I don't know anything about jazz, but I think the atmosphere was the thing? Well stupid remark, really, that's what all live events stand or fall by.

I've always loathed recorded modern jazz - what I call 'when does the tune start' jazz - it only makes sense live somehow, but a bizarre thing happened last week. I dozed off during GIO and woke up at the start of the 'the jazz house'. I listened to the whole show.It was brilliant.

I'm still feeling as though I've been attacked by a vampire, and slightly worried about what happens next.
