Sweets For My Sweet - The Searchers

Though 2nd Glen's 'Ain't She Sweet' by the Beatles, of which I am the proud owner of the 7" single on an orange Polydor label.Worthless, but a prized possession from my childhood.

DC was right, the drift of Friday is going much more towards facebook and the vox pop texters, I think. I still don't get the fab five thing and the lost track never materialised.

Still, Gaie's cat got a mention: she must name it after us all now, surely?

have a good weekend, folks

regardez youse

Henri

Henri - re Arnold Layne!!! No way will that get played on hobbies night!!!

By the way about 18 months on I am still requesting b sides night!!

#6
I'm still backing you on this Norrie. Lots of good album tracks were b sides back in nineteenblackandwhite.

Like the themes this week. Might get that Mark Knopfler track on

#5

well if I can't get Arnold Layne on 'hobbies' I can always go for 'names'!

It's a while since I listened to it properly, but, I'm sure the lyric describes 'a strange hobby'

Before I forget, for THURSDAY:

'Sweet Thing (Tell Me That You love Me)' - Rusty and Doug Kershaw. Great harmonies and energy...and under 2 mins.

DC is the performance of comfortably numb with Gilmour at the Albert Hall Bowies last live performance?

OK, I had made a decision to back off the blog for a wee while but having had two namechecks in the first 10 posts, I feel I must contribute (hopefully this will mean I get a mention on air this week; I don't know what I did to get ignored :-(


Just jokin.....

#10 not sure, time for some research

Think I'll move to a new post so that BB pays attention to my suggestion

DC

#4 So it's to be Joe Bloggs?

Well being a fan of pub quizzes as both a host and as a parpissitant there is only one song for me tonight. Can you guess what it is?

Damn there I go again.

Monday
The Answer to Everything / Del Shannon

Monday

My hobbies are wide ranging. I enjoy spending at least two nights a week on my exercise bike keeping time to the songs played on Get It On. I also enjoy cooking meals ranging from Chicken Pasanda to Lobster Salads.

However, my most favourite times (apart from being with my family) are spent on the yacht. Please play the Sutherland Brothers version of Sailing

Yep, I think Joe Bloggs is a terrific name for your cat. go for it.

I thought it was DC's new blogging designation at first.

Bryan and the GIO team will be chuffed that a cat has been named after the blog and play some Gilmour to celebrate.

Vandebily?

35

Vanderbilt, I think

Vanderbily was a very rich hillbilly.

When the 1933 chess champions were exposed for cheating, each had to confess where they hid their pawn....

Looking forward to a good GIO week...like the suggestions so far and I'll enjoy thinking of suggestions too.

Where's Scotch gone?

DC - don't forget the Who are on at half time on the Souperbowl Sunday night.

Chumlington-On-Rye chess club gets an unexpected boost when the Easterhouse team fails to turn up after a mix up over Horlicks containers at the aerodrome.

Great pick for Baba DC.

MONDAY

'Botanic Endgame' - Michael Marra

TUESDAY

'Schenectady Calling Peerie Willie Johnson' - Michael Marra

Are all of these themes repeats? Not sure about Thursday. The other three look very familiar.

I would have guessed Girls' Names, Boys' Names, Colours, and the theme we never tire of, Space!

Gaie,

A friend of a friend in London had a cat. Every time he came home it was running across the ceiling or tearing the curtains to ribbons. He named it 'You B@st@rd!'

>8-D

CONVERSATION IN A BAR ON VALENTINE'S DAY

Shuggy:- "Ah really, really luv yoo!"

Senga:- (blushing but chuffed) "Izzat jist the beer talkin'?"

Shuggy:- (drunk and confused) "Naw, hen! That's me talkin' tae the beer!!"

#70 thank you, that's really put my mind at rest for going to work on Monday!!
One evening I looked out my back door to find a deer eating my roses. I called it the same name as your friend of a friend's cat and then to my shame saw a neighbour walking down the street, no doubt thinking how very uncouth those folks on the corner were.

MONDAY:
You'd think my hobby was moving shoes, bags and jumpers from the living room to The Daughter's bedroom but, when not fighting a losing battle against the footwear invasion, I try to do the following:

This year I'm having more success trying to get fit:
'THE SWIMMING SONG' by either LOUDEN WAINWRIGHT III or KATE AND ANNA MCGARRIGLE or 'DON'T STOP MOVIN' by S CLUB 7.

Following Hibernian is a large part of my life...there's a certain trophy that's eluded the club for way too long...either;
'MAYBE THIS TIME' by LIZA MINELLI or 'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE' - LIMP BIZKIT.

Now that The Daughter is a bit older, when I'm not moving her belongings around the house, I do enjoy 'GOING OUT TONIGHT - Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Used to do a lot of drawing, painting, t-shirt design and the like but that kind of lapsed for a few years. Trying to get back into it but lack of practice means the results are in 'THE LUCK OF THE DRAW' - Bonnie Raitt.

#71

This joke is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events or locales is entirely coincidental.

>8-D

#69. yes SG, think Mon, Wed and Thu have been done before but, while we've certainly had distances before, not sure if it was specifically long-distance. Good themes to repeat though. Just hope we get a few more original ones sometime...we know there are some in the folder.

Monday: Listen to the music - Doobie Brothers
Tuesday: From Brighton Beach to Santa Monica - The Clientele
Wednesday: Me and Mrs Jones - Billy Paul
Thursday: Good Year for the Roses - Elvis Costello

More to follow.......

On The Border by Al Stewart
Telephone Line by ELO
24 Hours From Tulsa by Gene Pitney

Wednesday
David Watts by The Jam - prefer this to the Kinks
Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes

Young Hearts Run Free by Candi Staton

Wednesday is just a few days short of the 47th anniversary of one of our most famous poet's death (some claim suicide, or so I have been telt by wikipedia........)


Sylvia Plath - Ryan Adams is a possible for tonight.







Now the truth is that I chose Sylvia's mother from my iChoons and discovered this song. No idea where it came from other than I must have downloaded it legally whilst composing one of my world renowned pieces of poetry.




I still want Miss Babs O' Reilly and, going by the comments above, so do many other supporters of the show





Get It On


DC



PS Focus has just come on. What a coincidence. Pity she didn't have a surname!

i'd love to hear 'the distance' by cake on tuesday, particularly since i'm working away from home this week, i'm taking a radio with me so i dont miss a thing, x

you know, there's something really weird about the hair on that guy in the immediate foreground with his back (more or less)to the photographer.

It's like he's got two different heads of hair.

#80 you wanna confess somethin here?

#78

Death (especially suicide) is insufficient grounds for an appearance on this show.

You must go the extra mile viz. Your Own Personal Jesus.

My favourite thing to do is go to gigs and so I was trying to think of something fir that,so lyrically not quite correct but near enough and I think a great version of a great song:

Rolling Stones - Going to a Go Go

beings back great memories for me of seeing the stones and the album Still Life was a favourite amongst my pals and I at the time!

I like these themes!

For Monday - Surfin' USA - Beach Boys

and, based on recent requests and comments,

For Julie - Sunshine On Leith - Proclaimers

For Gaie - What's New, Pussycat? - Tom Jones

For Scotch-git - Hermless - Michael Marra

For FrankInDenny - The Hiking Song - Kenneth McKellar

For DC - Sloop John B - Beach Boys

For paolopablo - Quizz Kid - Jethro Tull

For Glen Miller - Guitar Man - Elvis

For norriemaclean - Big Boss Man - Elvis

For You Know Who - In Every Dream Home A Heartache - Roxy Music

;o)

Thanks Senga!

#81

Nope, just looks weird, caught my eye.

#80
It's a quarter rug, popular in the 30s.

What about Half Light by Athlete for Tuesday and Fred Jones Part 2 by Ben Folds for Wednesday.

#87

Excellent research,Wee Heavy.

I suppose, being the thirties, a quarter rug was all that could be afforded with only the Vanderbilts' getting the full rug.

Even so, you'd think they'd have made more of an effort to integrate it.

My partner Jeanette has asked for the following for hobby night

Shoes / Reperata
Red Shoes / Elvis Costello
Blue suede shoes / Elvis
Goody two shoes / Adam and the ants
Old Brown Shoe / Beatles
Crocodile shoes / Jimmy nail
Hole in my shoe / Neil
Mile in these shoes / Jennifer Lopez
Little red shoes / Jerry Butler
Dancing Shoes / Nigel Olsson
New Shoes / Paolo Nutini
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes / Paul Simon
Those Shoes / Eagles
All I want for Xmas is Shoes / Mariah Careh
Shoe ra Shoe ra / Betty Wright


I'm thinking of taking up DIY. We could with an extension.

We could do with an extension is what I meant.

#84

Senga,

Not sure if that's a compliment, but thank you. I think...


I like these themes, even if they are repeats. I do feel that including titles on Wednesday is unnecessary. Lots of good songs fit this theme.

MONDAY

'Jackie's Train' - Mary Gauthier


TUESDAY

'Boulder to Birmingham' - Emmylou Harris

I usually try to avoid obvious suggestions, but this one is too good not to request.


WEDNESDAY

'Sam Hall' - Johnny Cash

'Sam Stone' - John Prine

None of my requests were played last week, despite my being credited with Monday's theme. Play both of these and we'll be even. >8-D


THURSDAY

'Sugar Mama' - Bonnie Raitt

'Sugar Cane' - Mary Gauthier

#90

Jeanette must have forgotten about:

In These Shoes? - Kirsty MacColl

#91

you speak for us all.

Henri, unfortunatly pre 40s rugs were nailed in place and could be disloged by the slightest breeze, hence the expression "keep your hair on,call a joiner".

#94

'Head Like a Hole' - Nine Inch Nails

>8-D

#95 Ha Ha...nice
Hammer and Nails - The Staple Singers.

#92

Tuesday disqualified - only a stone's throw

#94 etc.

"Of course I went to law school and took a law degree
And counseled all my clients to plead insanity
Then worked in hair replacement, swindling the bald
Where very few are chosen, and fewer still are called" -W. Zevon

Good themes I agree and I've put in a wee bit mair effort this week

MONDAY;
I love my Garden and I've been on holiday this week but havnae been able to get out in it, so -
Wilderness - Joy Division
Flowers in the Window - Travis (that was my first thought but "Why Does it Always Rain on Me" would be more appropriate)

I've always been keen on art, I know we had that as a theme last week but I'd like to resubmit a song I really think deserves a play
Lazy Line Painter Jane - Belle & Sebastian

And for reading I'll second "Wrapped Up In Books" by them as suggested by the cats owner, along with
Turn the Page - The Streets

Keepin it Scottish for all my suggestions for
TUESDAY;
Yes I Am A Long Way From Home - Mogwaii
Take the Long Way Round - Teenage Fanclub
Other Side of the World - KT Tunstall

#98 The Cat's Owner?????????????????????? Am I now a non-person?
