#22

Ken.

Just to let you know I am departing the student accommodation and heading back north. I was starting to like wearing the hoodie far too much, and snacking on pizza and chocolate while drinking wine - and beer, and rather flat fanta. Could have auditioned for "The Scheme". Oh well, back to normality soon.

#32

Think of all that unbridled sentimentality your return home will generate. All that hugging and kissing and whimpering.

*sigh*

I wish I could inspire such unconditional love and devotion. A safe journey, Hoppo.

Tuesday, has to be a Get It On fave "In My Arms" by Teddy Thompson.
Or anything by Rufus Wainwright or a Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood classic would be nice...

No Chesney Hawkes thanks

Mazzy :-)

And yes, I know In My Arms features Rufus but a bit more of Rufus is never too much...

TUESDAY

'Mr. Sellack' - The Roches

Suzzy Roche is the mother of Lucy Wainwright Roche who is the daughter of Loudon Wainwright III and the sister of Rufus Wainwright and is therefore related to various Roches, Wainwrights and McGarrigles many of whom are famous.

Is it July yet? We've not had a 'Space' theme for a while........



Maria! Howzitgaun, hen?

Hi SG, all good here in not so sunny Stirling!! SPACE, must be time for Adam and I to be reunited on the airways ;-)
Hope all good with you SG and you are keeping order or creating chaos here on the blog....

Wood Eye?

I blame Glen and Norrie. Perrabams, by the way!

>8-D

#33

And the black labrador will probably be happy to see you as well.

:-)

Hello.

Good themes this week and its nice that they have opened up the first song on Monday to the blog. My suggestion is I think an appropriate one:

The Beatles - We Can Work It Out

as that is what we will be trying to do for subsequent songs!

Have a nice weekend.

Monday

Love Will Tear Apart ~ Joy Division

Or - Monday -
in honour of one of the best Eurovision winners ever (not that there's really much competition..... and not expecting anyone to steal their crown tonight)

The Winner Takes It All ABBA

#5 You're wasted here!

Tuesday Walk on By ~ Dionne Warwick, lets have the elder cousin please!

Wednesday Paper Bag ~ Goldfrapp

Thursday Underdog ~ Kasabian I'd had better credit... 90's Retro Kid

#3 nice one M.D. re the Rammstein cover, reckon you might appreciate this...

G.I.O. team seem to have a total aversion to it l.o.l.

MONDAY:

'Sure Hope You Mean It' - Raphael Saadiq
'Better The Devil You Know' - Kylie

Monday suggestion

"Joey's on the streets again" - The Boomtown Rats

#46 Cheers - I don't hold out much hope of getting any of those played, least of all that one. But they did ask us, so....!
"Nothing" - yes, I do like that! And I'll compare it to Song 2, Blur (which always reminds me a bit of Nothing, though it's a bit lightweight in comparison. That was almost a joke.) - if they play that, why not this? Unless they've not played Song 2 either.

I always get Rammstein confused with Laibach. How they laugh at the day centre.

Oh, my goodness - the Tena Lady let me down there Glen.

Monday...

Apricot Stone of the motherland... Might just be a winner!

For Monday - Love Sneakin' Up On You - Bonnie Raitt - as #8

Even though I think Jan's request #29 is a cert to be played first.

#50 - Glen -

;o)

#52 you're still watching??!! That woman is gorgeous!!! The song, however...... You're getting a bit carried away with her Angelina Jolie loveliness - it's Wednesday you were looking for!

#53 nice one!

Monday

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles

once again, a request for the acoustic version with glorious George Martin orchestration form the Love album, which finally shows what a great song this is and allows us to hear George Harrison at his simple best, without all that Clapton whining guitar all over it

I've spent a lovely Saturday doing not much, punctuated by the delightful, absolutely superb new album by Dreadzone - Eye on the Horizon

Anyone else familiar with this band?

regardez youse

henri

Aye of course we've got ahoose full and combined it with 90 's Retro Kid's 16th party...

Bloody webcam...

#33 & 40 Thanks Git, I'm back home and the labrador was pleased to see me. Must make the trip back tae Glesga again soon. That wondeful mix of style icons and rejects from "The Scheme" makes walking around such an amazing experience. Highlight being the woman in Byres Road who, I think, was unaware of just how sheer her legggings were - I could read the label on her underwear. It was a very tidy sight, as she was very shapely, and the old guy limping after her on heat was a sight to see.

For Monday how about Waitin' on a Sunny Day by Bruce Springsteen, given how poor the weather was on my trip to Glasgow.

#55 No.
#56 You've got a 16 year old? Those Eurovision parties will only get wilder. You'll need to book a venue for the next one - they just don't mix. Yet.
#57 so that old guy wasnae you?

M.D. You want to bet???? They're keepin us auld yin's goin''!!!

#59 my lads always do a runner when this time of year rolls round. you must be fortunate enough to have a daughter, I'm guessing. Enjoy it, then! Sounds like a fantastic night - enjoy!!

#58 Would have been, but had the daughter with me so had to look like I was merely amused instead of heading off in hot pursuit slavering as I went.

#61 she probably knows you better than you do yourself. But was grateful you restrained yourself. It's not easy! You did the right thing.

Are the results in yet?

actually you could play anything that they have ever recorded

Ally Frae Corstorphine

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

they were working in a restaurant at the time?

THURSDAY

Conversation in L.A.

Me - Is that the radio or a CD? Who is it?

Son-in-law - It's a CD. Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Me - Sounds a wee bit like Clapton.

Daughter - Clapton would like to think so.

Me - Never heard of him. Is he black?

(Long silence, during which Daughter and Son-in-law communicate telepathically. "Is he kidding?" "Dunno. Don't think so.")

Daughter - No, Dad. He's dead.

Me - Oh. Are we there yet?



Note to self:- Call Daughter, find out what Stevie Ray Vaughan track she wants me to request.









#44

You're nearly right.......












wasted git

#51

Summer's here and the time is right for hanging out the sheets.

#67

If you click on a blogger's id you will see all comments made by that person (except moderated ones) :-)

Hello, been a nice weekend.

Here are my Tuesday suggestions (duly noting Joe's great list):

Neill Maccoll was in the band The Bible with Boo Hewerdine, his brother Calum also played in this group on the odd occassion. Together they played on Nanci Griffith's Storms lp. Neill is a favourite of mine and still works with Boo, played on the last couple of David Gray albums and is touring with him and released a great album with Kathryn Williams. Neill and Calum are of course brothers to Kirsty and son of Ewan. The song I would pick is not one of Neills though, but one written by Calum and Eddi Reader

Eddi Reader - Darkhouse, a brilliant record.

Brian Wilson has a slightly less well known brother, Dennis, Pacific Ocean Blue is a great album. Farewell My Friend is a great track but River Song would be a good pick too:

Dennis Wilson - River Song

I presume we will get Jeff Buckley and Hallelujah, as an alternative Dad and

Tim Buckley - Song To The Siren, memorably covered by This Mortal Coil and Robert Plant.

Flash 'n The Pan - Waiting On A Train. One half of the duo is George Young, brother of Angus and Malcolm, the other is Harry Vanda, both were in the Easybeats when they wrote this classic as covered by Bowie:

David Bowie - Friday On My Mind

Finally, but I think possibly best of all.....

Maria McKee is the half brother of Bryan Maclean from Love.

Maria McKee - Opelousas (Sweet Relief) this is fantastic

and I did not even mention Mrs Springsteen. But if I did it would be Rumble Doll.....ooops.

In fact here is Maria.....enjoy

Eh Maria must be the half sister......

It's not clear from that video.

#73
November rain /Guns n Roses

Axl Rose is/was the son in law of Warren Zevon backing vocalist Don.

Can never keep up with these celebrity liaisons and who's still doing who.

Wednesday
Someone has to do it.
Julian Lennon - Too Late For Goodbyes
Sean Lennon - Headlights

what a poisoned chalice. I'm so glad both I and my husband are so mediocre we will never leave our sons in our shadow.

Boomtown Rats - Rat Race
Bob has some really famous daughters......
As have Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger.

Aye - but on Tuesday. See, mediocre.

Tuesday

London Kid ~ Jean Michel Jarre

He has a famous father... Ergo he's a famous son!

I'll see you at the Logic re-sit.

#83, #84

According to Get It On logic, MadMac is correct.

Themes can be, and often are, manipulated to mean anything the team want them to mean.

Spock might disagree, but why should we listen to a dead paediatrician?

>8-D

Why do women never name their kids after themselves. Have you ever heard of a Sally Junior?

No woman wants to be called Big Sally

Even if she is.












Especially if she is.......

Does she ride a mustang?

#88

My sister-in-law (the one I should have married) had a gorgeous red Mustang that she loved to bits.

She is also an exception to your rule. Wee Barbara resembled Big Barbara so strongly it was spooky.

Is there a Wee Imelda on the way? Should we start knitting shoes?

>8-D

My days of having wee things on the way are long gone but don't let that stop you. If you can knit shoes I could spend my hard earned on something as useful as something that's really useful

#89
Did you have the choice? Was it like blind date? Who was the third one?

TUESDAY

Donovan's daughter Ione Skye is very famous even though I've never heard of her, but she's acted in fillums, one of them acclaimed, according to my sources.

Catch the Wind - Donovan

#85

Don't dis the guy with the rubber gloves and baby oil.

Monday - Five Words In The Title:

I Wanna Be The One - The Yum Yums
"It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum!"
- great way to start the show with a bang!

or, how's about

We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel
Owner Of A Lonely Heart - Yes
The Weight Of My Words - Kings of Convenience

#92

1) Alas, no. Barbara was married already. She's on her 2nd husband now.

2) No. I'd like to say it was a lorra lorra fun. But I can't.

3) Big Barbara was my mother-in-law. Not that she was bigger than Wee Barbara. Just older. (And wider). Maybe we should have called them Auld Barbara and Young Barbara.

THURSDAY

My Darling Daughter tells me the track to ask for is;

'Texas Flood' - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble (see #69)


Please play it for the people I love most; my wee lassie, her man and their wee lassie out in Southern California.

Is DC asleep?

Will ye look at that. A wide open goal...
