THURSDAY

KISSES


As Mary Chapin Carpenter said, "Shut up and kiss me!"


MCC is eminently kissable.










Indeed, I salute her kissability!

So do I.

I don't. But if TP's needing first aid, I'm his girl.

WEDNESDAY

Stray Cat - Kassidy
my son's best friend was nearly one of them or so I'm told. Perhaps his hair didn't grow long enough.

Sunrise - Cosmic Rough Riders

Vana Vangu -

K = Kudos - someone important's coming to visit - what CDs do you scatter ostentatiously around to show how cool your taste is

K = Kleptomania - either stolen riffs or stolen lovers etc in song

K = Kings, bishops, knights and pawns - records on the Chess label

Maybe someone forgot to pay our direct debit for the broadband this month - nothing's working very well tonight. I must have been too busy commenting here.

Jangly guitars. Obvious choices as ever from me. Doesn't make them rubbish choices.
The Cure Lullaby
Crowded House Don't Dream It's Over
REM Losing My Religion
I know it has already been played, but we've had repeat perfomances before. Sometimes from the same requester with only couple of weeks between plays. Just sayin', in case issue is taken. A safe bet is to play the same band but another requester's choice. Everyone's happy. Or just not play them at all as a lesson for us not to be presumptious.
;o)

K is for Knowing

I think this is a great theme - really looking forward to hearing the music on this show. The Byrds, Jayhawks, GP, Gene Clark, tom petty etc. all among my favourite artists so cannot really go wrong for me I would have thought.

Some sugestions:

Patti Scialfa - Rumble Doll (Mike Campbell on guitar)

Byrds - One Hundred Years From Now (GP vocal version)

Marl Olson - National Express (the man is a genius)

Orange Juice - Blue Boy

Grand Drive - Tell It Like It Is

The Thorns - Blue (great version of Jayhawks song)

Lloyd Cole and Commotions - Lost Weekend

#6 have to correct you there, Norrie, Mike Campbell's on the floor

George Koltanowski played 34 games simultaneously whilst blindfolded in Edinburgh, 1937

24 wins

10 draws

Is this a record?

>8-D

I know poor soul. Exhaustion....

#8 If Morrisey recorded it, yes.

Of course how could I omit:

Morrissey - Suedehead or Certain People I Know

And

Polecats - John I'm Only Dancing

#10

Mr. MacLean will know. Let's hope not.......

#12 It's not his work I don't like - some of it is absolutely sublime. I like nothing better than confessional writing. Something honest and humble in there, however self-promoting it may appear. BUT - there's just a niggle about him that doesn't fit that makes listening to a lot of his stuff challenging. Must be getting him wrong. It's me, not him.
Sorrie, norrie - I wasn't meaning you.

#13, #11

Now look what you've been and gone and done!

>8-D

WEDNESDAY

'Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way?' - Waylon Jennings









Keep it Country!

#14 If it gets played, don't blame it on me. I was hoping I might be working the reverse psychology thing there. Especially if it sounded like I meant it. (Which I did, BTW. But that's classified information. It's complicated.)
That Waylon song - sounds brill - I second it! ;o)
Bonne chance - it's a jungle out there.

SG Did you see the documentary on Merle Haggard? Really really good. I also watched Crazy Heart at the weekend - great film.

typical

#17

I'm not a huge Haggard fan, but I must watch that movie. I think Jeff Bridges is the finest actor of his generation.

I watched The Red Shoes - never thought to enjoy the ballet, but it was really good and then boom! just as you think it's all going to be a happy ending - well I won't spoil it in case anyone wants it out of Lovefilm after me. These old films, they know how to pack a punch without being all graphic and gritty and explicit.

K = Knickers -songs about underwear

#18

Y'awright therr, Mary-Doll?

#20

Y's, men say.

#21 Just the sound of my knickers getting in a twist. A bath will probably sort it. ;o)

Empty the Chamber ~ Sadies

These Wooden Ideas ~ Idlewild

Hey Little Rich Girl ~ T. Specials

Tighten Up ~ Archie Bell & The Drells

K is for Knickerbocker given the picture!

#23 did not mean to speak across you there mary doll! sorry about that!!

I've interpreted "jangly" in a rather open way. I hope these are acceptable:

Feel like makin' love - Bad Company
Run to you - Bryan Adams
Dreaming of you - the Coral
Misguided angel - Cowboy Junkies
Bad moon rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Long train runnin' - Dobbie Brothers
Crazy little thing called love - Dwight Yoakam
Rose of Cimarron - Poco
Ooh Las Vegas - Parsons/Harris
Go your own way - Fleetwood Mac
That lady - Isley Brothers

Joe
Linlithgow

Misguided Angel! Great track Joe!

Wildflowers - Tom Petty

I Want You - The Silencers

Your Long Journey - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

80's

#20

'Into the Valley' - The Skids

Scotch! Tsk!!

Aye, Jangly is wee bit open to interpretation but seeing as this is my first time on here i'm gonna be kind of bold with my suggestions.

Legal Man - Belle and Sebastian, Good Morning Britain - Aztec Camera, Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine, Old Old Fashioned - Frightened Rabbit, Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed. And as a wee special: Twist and Shout - The Beatles
Twist and Shout - Deacon Blue
Could work, Maybe.

Jangly: Candyskin by The Fire Engines works every time.

K for KIN - brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers. Sisters are doin it for themselves, The Pointer Sisters, The Louvin Brothers (This Little Light of Mine - please), Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Mumford and Sons, Sisters of Mercy etc.

k is for klaxon.

And tonights klaxon tune has to be
There she goes / The La's

#34
Not that I'm requesting it you understand on account of the fact I'm trying to beat Scotch's record of four weeks without a song being played. Two days to go. Off to listen again to classics unwrapped.

Haha listening to classics unwrapped and Jamie McDougall called Queen Punk Rock. Almost as funny as Bryan last night playing some weird version of Chris Montez Let's Dance without the Immediately Identifiable Intro.

Have to say though it was a good idea to have an edition of classics Unwrapped VS Get it on. Really good listen.

And there's obviously enough mileage in this alphabet theme thingy to go round again judging by the great suggestions coming in.

Wednesday

Jangling means chiming arpeggios on a Rickenbacker 12 string, preferably with Roger McGuinn behind it.

It Won't Be Wrong - The Byrds
All I Really Want To Do - Cher
The Little Girl I Once Knew - The Beach Boys
The Good's Gone - The Who
If I Needed Someone - The Beatles
Listen To Her Heart - Tom Petty
I Had A Dream - The Long Ryders
Someone To Love - Roger McGuinn
Dancing The Night Away - The Motors

SWING GUITARS by JANGLY REINHARDT & STEPHANE GRAPELLI

Inspired... but you know these bands will never make a GIO tracklisting for tonight's jingly, janglies...

Flamin' Groovies, Wall of Voodoo, T. Smithereens.

You Tore Me Down - Flamin' Groovies

Didn't mean to... merely attempting to 'Shake Some Action' into this programme where we're supposedly able to
choose the music!

Glen - great list of songs. The Goods Gone is a great track which reminded me that Shel Talmy produced quite a lot of "jangly" sounding records Kinks etc.

K = Kangaroos, Kookaburras and Koalas - Australian artists and songs about Australia. Everything from Tie Me Kangaroo Down to The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.

WEDNESDAY

'Plastic Man' - Kinks


Cheers, Norrie! (#42)

Forgot the link.

#45 Stop calling Norrie a tube...he's getting really fed up with it!

Thursday

K is for King James Version

Songs linked to the Good Book:

I Know What I Like - Genesis
Zoot Suit - The High Numbers
Matthew and Son - Cat Stevens
Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
Get A Job - The Silhouettes
Sailing to Philadelphia - Mark Knopfler

#50 Honest it's not Imelda


I not being a musician have a bit of difficulty in knowing exactly what is and isnt jangly. it's Franks theme, perhaps he can explain to us heathens.

If the guitar counts as jangly on this then my request would be
The streets of your town / Go Betweens

#37 seconds for Listen to Her Heart, Glen - had a quick run through on the way down the road and it's definitely one of Tom's jangliest!

Kis for Kerrang a night of heavy thrash death metal that oh alright then i'll think of something else.

K is for K Tel. What was on your first k Tel compilation. Under 40's need not apply.

I also strugle with the technicalities of what constitutes jangly guitar but the one band who immediately come to mind are The Searchers:

Needles & Pins - The Searchers.

I'm slightly unsure if my next track quailfies strictly speaking, but I think it does;

Fearless Heart - Steve Earle

Back On The Chain Gang - The Pretenders
the pretenders impersonating The Searchers

It would be nice to hear The Searchers, whom I cannot recall ever hearing GIO.

regardez youse

henri

Needles and Pins would be great, but for real jangly guitars you need the Byrds - Mr Tambourine Man (which even references them in the chorus) or for something more out of the way whtt about Turn Turn Turn?

Some of tonight's choices are about as jangly as a duvet.

Quick Glen get the C90 at the ready....Smiths next!

You know your parental authority has eventually run out when your daughter breezes in a nd switches the telly from Get It On to Big Brother.




The fact the Smiths were on was coincidental


PP now listening on the laptop

You got me flustered and I missed it. Anyway it's C60s in this recession.

"´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland FM is unavailable at this time."
Again.

#59 is it on the telly now?

i know I think my jangly night has ended. It's on digital radio on telly FM

Mad Mac, here's an L of an idea:

L = Longshots - the ones you suggest with little or no hope of them getting played.

For L night you would know that if you suggested something unusual it would have a good chance of getting played and that if you suggested the Smiths it would have no chance at all. For instance rather than American Girl, arguably Tom Petty's most famous song, you would have Listen to her Heart, which would almost certainly be enjoyed by the people who suggested AG. This would be a golden opportunity to encourage people broaden their horizons. There's a difference between 'very popular tonight' and 'lots of people suggested it because it's so well-known and there's a good chance it will get played and their name mentioned especially if having chilli for tea.

So - Longshots: either artists we know but their songs must be ones we don't usually hear or artists we haven't heard on GIO.

Main Entry: 1jan·gle
Pronunciation: \ˈjaŋ-gəl\
Function: verb
intransitive verb
1 : to talk idly
2 : to quarrel verbally
3 : to make a harsh or discordant often ringing sound

to be fair, there's been a lot of less run-of-the mill stuff tonight. Way to go!

Yes and with two thousand Facebook members it's been a wonderful day.
