Joan As Policewoman- To America, featuring Rufus Wainwright

The Drizabone Soul Family - 'I Fell Apart'

International Submarine Band - Luxury Liner

The Flying Burrito Brothers - Sin City

You Can't Do That - The Beatles

a really unusual and clever name, especially for it's time

Scritti Politti - 'Faithless'

Dogs Die In Hot Cars I Love You 'Cause I Have To
Read about them in our local paper. Have a friend who works there - got a listen to the demo CD. Thought they were brilliant.

Infected Mushroom Becoming Insane
Might be something Henri would like. Not sure about the rest of you. Great beat.

The Blow Monkeys It Doesn't Have To Be This Way
A surprisingly bland song

Haircut 100 Nobody's Fool
It was just a silly phase.

Room for Gong, Zappa and his Mothers and all sorts of other bands that never get played.

The Exploding Plastic Inevitable Show featured The Velvet Underground. I'll Be Your Mirror

¸éö²â°ì²õ´Ç±è±è Eple

I really would like to hear them try to pronounce that one.
Actually - that's a bit mean - they do their best. And don't mind admitting when they are stumped. I just thought there were folk employed by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to "advise" on the pronunciation of foreign names, words, etc. for the sake of PCness or whatever else that sort of thing is important for. Guess that budget was slashed a long time ago.
Anyway - challenge! ;o)

That Petrol Emotion - 'Keen'

OK. 3 posts bearing my name will appear with the same message. The server's playing up if that's the case. Will still look silly.

Hercules Mandarin / You Could've Read My Mind

oeuvre. That's what I get for trying to be clever.

Sixpence None the Richer Kiss Me

Not sure what six pence would buy me in today's money. Perhaps a "bag for life". Thought that was a given already.

So... did Nothing sing "Frazier Chorus" or was it the other way round? I need tae be telt

Guys, I'm a bit confused as to which is the name of the band here and what is the choon.. Could bands be in bold and "choons" be in "parentheses"?

DC

Or Maybe the "other" way roond?

#45

Paul,

Indeed! Think what the GONG campaign could achieve were Julie to pick up the slack!

>8-D

#47 Blimey! Does this mean I'm going to have to look up youchoob? Sigh! Remember though...for all my nagging they've still not played 9 Below Zero...or The Bamboos featuring Kylie Auldist...or Carlton and the Shoes...or Humphrey Ocean and the Hardy Annuals etc etc etc.

Here!

Is that a young Scotch Git in the photo? (Standing at the back in pink)

#49

You mean lavender...

Well, I youchoobed GONG and they made my computer go wonky. I managed to hear 'The Pot Head Pixies' which was quite jolly!

Adam Looks like scotch to me!

Julie you know you are not allowed to mention the sh word!

Paul....great pick. Seen them at strathclyde uni in nineteenlongago.

Scotch..... You get increased odds for wearing that hairstyle.


Guess who's not got a hash key on their phones touchscreen qwerty

#53 I've just listened to GONG...my head's now even more jumbled than it was before!

#49 I could be kicked of t'blog for this but I think it could be Eddi Reader in a black wig.

#43 Ah kain! Come on Captain, you have the technology. Mebbes we can get a Christmas number 1 out o' this.

#41 what about the background on 10CC Henri?

BTW, did I mention that Yuri - Oi Va Voi is good?

Yuri - Oi Va Voi

and this is probably the best night of the week for Bryan to get his Frightened Rabbit fix:

Yes, I Would - Frightened Rabbit

Gaie, Big 2nd for Subbuteo by Admiral Fallow, I'm starting to really love that album.

regardez youse

henri

PS if they play Yuri for all the bloggers, does that mean we'll spend the evening listening to Lady Gaga?

Did they get the message?

#69 refers to #67

It was a sting

I'd settle for a Heebeegeebees evening. The Beagles' Dead Cicada is spot on. I haven't heard Poxy Music.

nae jestin' ... this is just tops!

'Cler Achel' ... Tinariwen

Get yer toes tappin'

#67 tsk tsk

the forecast drop in temperature this evening reminds me that it would be good to have something from THREE DOG NIGHT:-

Joy to the World
One
Mama Told Me Not to Come

Don't fear the reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

Joe
linlithgow

Just witnessed an Eric & Ernie Tribute Act in Auld Reekie's Playhouse... Jeez O, I am/wuz one of the youngest in there LOL!

'The Ancient' 'Ritual' wuz called upon.

#75

Your request is disqualified by lack of umlaut and the fact that DFTR has been played more often than Happy Birthday.

ETI - Blue Öyster Cult

#76

Did they do Boom Oooh Yata Ta Ta?

Fear this could be a disappointing night..one persons strange is another mans normal....

#77 Naw but Ernie had a Day O moment to Time & A Word much to Eric's bemusement!

#68 yes, the Admiral Fallow album wasn't an instant hit with me, but I like it more and more each time of listening. I like your Frightened Rabbit track too, need to investigate them a bit more.
Definitely seconds for Captain Beefheart though I suspect it's not an odd enough name.

And Cosmic Rough Riders. Shame they didn't last.

There was a fabulous display down at Battery Park last night, with a huge phoenix rising into the air before the fireworks display. It really was something with some wonderfully eerie music as it rose up. BUT, before the display there was a fantastic jump up and down tune being played. I've absolutely no idea what it was but simply have to find out

Get it on just won at Market rasen.




I wasn,t on!

#81 so it's one to watch, if not to listen to...;-)

#81

Did you turn your clock back last Sunday? If not, do it now and post comment #81 at lunchtime.

Of course it will work.

Why wouldn't it?

#78

Maria,

How will we be able to tell the difference?

>8-D

silly band names - part 3

Adam,

Has the Panto season begun in São Paulo?

According to the news there was a shout of "Buttons! They're behind you!" then the heavily armed Good Fairy got offski.

Was it the Ugly Sisters?

How did they think they would catch a Formula 1 driver?

We should be telt!

>8-D

Were they trying to pull a fast one?

They wheeled out Stirling Moss this morning for comment. He's back driving after falling down a lift shaft. They don't make guys like him now. He did 0-60 in 3.2 seconds.

T.N.K. (Cover of The Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows) by 801

#84 - that's the beauty of the blog Scotch, we are all strangely normal together...well, some more than others!

I am gonna put another request in for David Devant and His Spirit Wife and "Ginger"

Feed the fish

Mazzy*

#78, #84, #90

Maria,

#84 questions the first half of #78

>8-D

















Normal. That's a guid yin!

Ben Watt walked into Turners furniture store in Hull to be met with the slogan:

"For all your bedroom needs, we sell everything but the girl"




Everything But The Girl --- Come on Home

#86

Aye, well he had a good driver to get him out safe.

Not sure if many of the brilliant suggestions above will make it onto the show. You know what BB is like: avoid the less well kn own stuff & stick with the obvious.

I think "Little ASrrows" - Leapy Lee 7 "You ain't seen nothing yet" - Bachman Turner Overdrive are the sort of thing which will make the playlist.

More's the pity....

DC

Leapy Lee 7?

Should have gone to Spec thingys
