In May, 1996, one of my pals phoned up and said;

"We're all going to the Barrowland on Wednesday to see Whigfield, you commin?"

Our lot have fairly eclectic taste, so, somewhat surprised, I found myself agreeing to go.

It wasn't until I turned up in the pub beforehand that I realised that he'd transmitted the name incorrectly: we were about to witness the first performance in Scotland of Leftfield.

What a night that was! The band came on stage - one of them walk up to a keyboard and press a bass note. The note comes along the floor and goes through you. Never experienced anything like it. The Ballroom had complaints about the noise from 5 streets away.

Of course, it could have been the booze, but I don't think so.

Tuesday
I'll give this a bit of thought but my moneys on Brazil so a howsabout the wonderful
Jazz Carnival / Azymuth (they're Brazilian)
Brazilian Love Affair / George Duke
Feelings / Morris Albert (he's Brazilian)


I'll stop there before I get moderated again

If Scotch can't make it on to request this for himself for Thursday, I'll do it on his behalf. But it's for him.

Thursday
Yehudit Ravitz and the Isreali Philharmonic Orchestra -
Sof La'sipur

Stunning!

Good lob this lot at at your expert and see what he comes up with!!:

Phillip Glass - Low Symphany and Heroes Symphany

Onedin Line Tune

The big start to Carmen

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

and....eh....um....that guy with the huge wig that was a genous but deaf, and young.

I didn't know Beethoven was a philanthropist

The tail end of the Firebird's good.

Can't see past Spain for the Cup so my Tuesday suggestion is:

Spanish is the loving tongue - Bob Dylan.

Now Miss Babs, before you press the Room 101 button on Dylan, give this a listen; this song is not the "normal" Dylan stuff





DC

#15 to nobody second, he was certainly reckoned

And genous to a fault

Thursday

Everyone will know this one, don't know why I forgot to add it in at the start. Too much fantatstic classical music out there.

Concierto de Aranjuez Adagio Rodrigo

Giving the football a complete side-sweep. Unless you want
Sylvia Y Viva Espa帽a .
Thought not.

fantatstic? that Preview button's too close to the Post Comment one. Opposite ends of the comment box would be good. Or an edit option.

#2 just realised. As Dick Emery would say - you are awful.

Thursday

I'm hugely up for Thursday and our adventure with requests for classical music.

'Benedictus' from 'The Armed Man' - Karl Jenkins

Radio friendly, moving, melodic and, with the hope of peace, written for those involved in soldiering. Beautiful, your producer will know how to take off the first couple of minutes, which repeat before the choir come in.Karl Jenkins used to be the keyboard player in Soft Machine in another life.

Samuel Barber - Agnus Dei -String Quartet in B minor Op 11: David Hill (not of Slade fame) and the Winchester Cathedral Choir. (EMI 50999 2 28275 2 4 )

Everyone knows Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' - this is the Choral version which, if anything, is even more beautiful and immensely more powerful.You'll be blown away.

Spiral - Sir Paul McCartney

a little known and hugely under rated classical composer...

Gaie ...big 2nd for The Baseballs - Umbrella.. absolutely charming, love it, thank you for pointing it out a couple of months ago..

AFRICA QUALIFYING:

Nigeria - I would like to request a Tom Russell song about the time he lived in Nigeria

Tom Russell - East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam

鈥淚n 1969 I stepped off a plane in Ibadan, Nigeria and a someone stuck a rifle up against my throat. Evidently I'd been taking illegal pictures over a war zone in Biafra, and now I was being carted off to have my priorities corrected by two machine gun toting Yoruba army thugs in dark glasses. I was saved by a U.S. ambassador, who bribed the lads. It was my first day in Africa鈥 baptism.鈥�

This is a brilliant record and Calexio provided the band.

ASIA QUALIFYING:

Japan - Magokoro Brothers - My Back Pages, strangely brilliant.


EUROPE QUALIFYING:


France - Camera Obscura - French Navy , this time they might need them

SOUTH AMERICA QUALIFYING:

Argentina, Don鈥檛 Cry for Me Argentina, Julie Covington

NORTH, CENTRAL AMERICA AND QUALIFYING:

that'll do...it would be good to hear one of these and some of the other interesteing suggestions of the blogotariat. This could be really interesting programme,Bryan,let's not blow it on 'Lost In France' by Bonnie Tyler etc...

Wednesday

I don't associate Lady Gaga with Grace Jones although I like them both, still, I can feel it in my bones: " if you like Deacon Blue's 'Dignity' you'll like 'Sunshine on Leith' as by covered by MacIntosh Ross.

ARGHHH....... a night of Bryan selecting his favourite 80's music by Scottish bands... let's see how can we get Big Country on just one more time.....'into the valley'...here goes...actually, the theme could be really good, I suppose, but I'm fearful.

Henri - complaining about a show 48hrs in advance is a record!

I'm very interested in your profanity filter. Does posting a song by someone from Northern Ireland count against it, somehow? If yes, why? I just requested Duke Special "Our Love Goes Deeper Than This" It was "filtered". for profanity, or summat close. To make things clear, I'm married to a Catholic. This form of censorship smacks of laziness. And more besides that is even more disturbing.
It's a cracking song, don't let the censors fool you. and vive la diference.

Tuesday - World Cup
Mon amant de St Jean - Lucienne Delyle/New soul - Yael Naim (France)
Samba Pa Ti - Santana (Mexico)

Apart from Everyday by Buddy Holly and Baby It's You from The Beatles' first album. Perhaps it was no coincidence that John Lennon counted in A Day In The Life with "Sugar Plum Fairy Sugar Plum Fairy"

Throw in the Velvet Underground, Beach Boys (no surprise) and Pink Floyd and you've almost got a celeste theme. Judging by the lists above it would be better than tonight's.

Tuesday:

#1 #44

Has there been a theme about unusual instruments? The following spring to mind but there must enough for a show.

Lady Jane - Rolling Stones - Dulcimer
Wild Thing - Troggs - Ocarina, fairy dust
Pandora's Box - Procol Harum - Marimba

Stop Stop Stop- The Hollies - Electric banjo
Sloop John B - Beach Boys - Glockenspiel, baritone sax
Beds Are Burning - Midnight Oil - Trombone (unusual in this context)
Painter Man - The Creation - Bowed guitar

I don't like these themes. See you next week.

Sorry. I was annoyed yesterday when the themes were nowhere to be seen. When I logged in this morning I thought "Is that it?"

It's not you, it's me.


Maybe it is you.


Whatever!


;o)

JOURNEY

# 31

Superb shout on the Tom Russell track Norrie.... I think GIO listeners would really appreciate 'East of Woodstock'.

M

I'm in Love with a German Film Star - The Passions

World Cup

...did I mention I'm in the states :), gotta support my hosts so...

Young Americans - David Bowie

... which would do for any of the "New World" countries

Paul from Ayr

recorded in Philly as well.....

#52 Thanks Mike ~ not from the usual list of suspects so would be a good one to hear!

As Frank Zappa was partly Greek, I would suggest firstly,

HOLIDAY IN BERLIN (GERMANY) from AHEAD OF THEIR TIME by FRANK ZAPPA

or

PUIS JE (FRANCE) from BANANAMOUR by KEVIN AYERS

#49

My theme idea appears to have fallen on stony ground but I'm looking forward to seeing Warren Zevon backing singer Jackson Browne for the second time and have seen Rhine Delta bluesman Hans Theessink twice (once with John Sass - blues tuba?) so I would endorse your choices. The other international lists are a bit overwhelming.

#58 You threw us by being constructive...

#46

Actually, that's a very good theme idea. I can think of quite a few also.

#59

Not one typo - an impostor surely.

Africa by Toto? Since when was Africa a nation, let alone a participant in the World Cup?

Mexican Radio / Wall of Voodoo

Planet Rock / Afrika Bambaataa & the Zulu Nation, well they were in South Africa first!

Zulus - thousands of them!

Leave My Monkey Alone - Warren Zevon and backing singer Afrika Bambaataa

I came here to build a bridge!

Note to self: go to bed before you write embarrassing rubbish. Apologies for inflicting that on the blog.

Wednesday
If you like Divine Comedy , you might also like
Duke Special Freewheel or Our Love Goes Deeper Than This . Mr Hannon sings on the second one.

Did I hear Bryan taking Jethro Tull's name in vain? What was he banging on about?

#68 I think it was 'If you like Jethro Tull you might like The Proclaimers'

Who?

#69 Careful what you wish for Henri. Am beginning to think you actually want the twins to be played!

Dear Jill

I must say, I still can't quite get the theme - I mean, the first presumption is that anyone is interested enough in the first part to care a hoot about the second.

Let's take the first presumption ' you like Lady Gaga' means 'you might be interested in Blodwyn Pig'. Most people have never heard of Blodwyn Pig, so how they'll stay interested in Lady Gaga is a mystery to me.

Father Abrahams.

If you like Pink, you'll like Pink Floyd












Aye, right




DC

Like Kraftwerk, allow me to introduce.. !

WEDNESDAY

If you like Morrissey you'll love

If you like Kissing the Pink you'll love Muffin The Mule

Wednesday

Wed..

If you like Teenage Fanclub ... you will surely love Big Star

Big Star .... Ballad of El Goodo

#75 I think you are on the right track, but I think they mean more like if you

love Morrissey, especially the classic Vauxhall and I, then you may

like Jacques Brel and his final masterpiece Brel.

Wednesday

If you like Bob Dylan, Tom Petty,George Harrison,Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison you will surely love

Dreadzone - Tomorrow Never Comes

#85

okay, I agree - how about,

I Can't Change It - Frankie Miller

which easily outdoes paulo nuttini, and everyone else... my personal favourite is ' A Fool In Love

regardez youse

henri

#76 obviously, the moderator is in total agreement.

Henri I was not trying to do a direct comparison with Paolo / Josh or indeed anyone. I think this theme is a great opportunity to point people in the direction of things you think are better. And similarly point out new artists which you think might appeal to listeners.

If you like:

Oasis (setting aside any jibes about Oasis) then you cannot fail to love Ian Hunter, especially the All American Alien Boy lp with Jaco Pastorius and David Sanborn in the band.

If you like Stevie Nicks style Fleetwod Mac - then check out Lissie and her great single In Sleep.

I know you don't fancy the theme but give it chance!

#81 Henri

No i have never been to Plains, Airdrie. Why do you ask?

I agree it's a good comparison though I'd go for Candlelight Sonata in F Major but it's probably academic anyway..


my other if you likes are

Bob Dylan

Arlo Guthrie - Victor Jara

Mamas and Papas

Cosmic Rough Riders - Justify the Rain

Frightened Rabbit

Incredible String Band - Dandelion Blues

Bob Seger

Joe Cocker - Unchain my Heart

Gary Moore

John Mayer - Heartbreak Warfare

89 refers to #86

#83

Very good call.

If you like the Beatles, you'll hate Oasis. Wait a minute...

if you like Aereogramme and The Unwinding Hours, you might possibly also like

Ben Harper - Picture in a Frame

and if you like Eric Clapton you might well enjoy

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood


Scotch-Git certainly does so if it were to be played it would be his shout


if you like King Creosote then what about

Malcolm Middleton - We're All Going to Die

pete's sake, do I have to do all the work round here?

#82

Norrie,

I do, I did and I do...You're right!!!

I think they have just decided not to play on this theme Gaie....

Never mind....if you like Teenage Fanclub you will love the Jayhawks....
