Stop whispering - Radiohead

What's about the favourite British topic of conversation?...the weather!

'Feels Like Rain' - Buddy Guy ... with Bonnie Raitt as an added bonus...check it out, you won't be disappointed.

'Whispering Pines' - The Band

Talking in your sleep - Crystal Gayle
At least that's what you said - Wilco
You don't have to say you love me - Dusty Springfield
The story - Brandi Carlile
The rake's song - the Decemberists
Believe me baby I lied - Trisha Yearwood
Your lies - Shelby Lynne
Country girl - Primal Scream

Joe
Linlithgow

just to lower the tone a bit:
Salt N Pepa Let's Talk About Sex
It is what it is - I like it because it's catchy. Maybe like herpes and chlamydia - whatever. Could have made some young ladies think a bit more about their choices. Or not.

Ever the predictable:
Bee Gees Jive Talkin'
Guilty pleasure.

Words of good advice to gobshites like myself:
No Doubt Don't Speak

A question that will probably forever go unanswered:
Bronski Beat Tell Me Why

Talk Talk It's My Life
Other mobile phone services are available. I wouldn't know - I don't do mobiles.

To make up for any obvious or unwelcome ones, I'm leaving George for mazzy. Just realised that might sound ambiguous. Communication's not my strong point. To clear it up -
The Animals Please Don't Let Me Be Understood

#4 joe - Crystal and Dusty - fab!

BRING ME THE TALKING HEADS OF ALAN BENNETT!

'Tell Him' ... Hello

Gaie - I think you might be on for track of the night again with Conversation 16 - the National , - a huge 2nd. I got their High Violet album recently.

The truth is, I bought it because I liked the cover and am now really into it.

Is that a theme? Albums you bought for the cover? Or has it been done? I've got quite a few - In the Court of the Crimson King - for starters.

New York Telephone Conversation - Lou Reed
He's On The Phone - St Etienne ( from London Conversations)
Speak Like A Child - Style Council
Tell Me What - Fine Young Cannibals
Tell Me What You See - The Beatles
Broken English - Sunscreem

and

Secret Love - Kathy Kirby definitive and best version imho

regardez youse

henri

Oh, and how could I forget:

Talk Talk

Simply the best, most talented and creative band of the 80's - there's not a week goes past when I don't listen to one of their albums: (try 'The Colour of Spring)

Big 2nd for anything by them, 'It's My Life' has been played many times and it would be great to hear all 8 minutes of 'Time It's Time' or the etherial 'I Believe In You' but they are unlikely for GIO -it would be thrilling to hear

Does Caroline Know? - Talk Talk which is about a conversation.

Big 4th for the Congregation too.

regardez youse

henri.

Actually, upon reflection, I think we should hear all 8 minutes of

Time It's Time - Talk Talk

It's magnificent! It's fantastic! Let's Get It On!

regardez vous

henri

well, I stupidly banged the car door against my head yesterday, went to bed early feeling strange and knackered and woke up early. This is what happens.It plainly didn't knock any sense into me, as might have been hoped

#31 there were a few that I DIDN'T buy because of the cover and wish I had, Aladdin Sane springs to mind!

#31 Henri I'd have to say a thank you to the Sunday Herald for flagging up new albums worth listening to - this is where I read about The National and High Violet, and other bands such as The Unwinding Hours. Not all live up to the reviewer's recommendation of course, but it's great to have something new to try. Same as the blog suggestions.

For instance, it's going to be excellent this week when Bryan's words, which are indeed marked, come true and he plays Gong for the nation.

I hope your head's OK, Henri, but I shouldn't worry about sense - where's the fun in that?

And I'll go along with Congregation, had forgotten all about it. DC, we do spierin' here too, or at least in Bute they do. Did you know that in Greenock they go out for their galoshans at Halloween?

Ok I'll shut up now, it's beginning to sound as if it was me that dunted my heid.

Chatter Box - Bob Marley

Bonnie Raitt, Something to Talk About
Morrissey, Picadilly Palare

Please spare us Olivers Army or the obvious Blonde track tonight.....I've resisted asking for Careless Whisper!

Happy Wednesday

#33 Would it not have been easier to bang your head against the car door rather than the other way about. I mean how do you actually do that? Open the door, stick your head out and then slam the door again? Or was it from the outside? Open the door put your head in the car and then slam the door? Or do you just crouch down outside the car put your napper in front of the car and then open it straight onto your skull. Or is it a hatch. Aah that might be it.

I only ask cos i'm thinkin of writing a sitcom!

#38 Careless Whisper / The Gossip from the live lounge series for a double whammy.

Honey Hush - Johnny Burnette Trio
Going Home - The Blues Band - Gonna talk to my baby - won't be on no telephone.

#33

Car OK?

#38 - Support for Bonnie Raitt - Mazzystar - I'll ask for the other one for you!

Careless Whisper - George Michael

Talk To The Animals - Rex Harrison ~ from Doctor Dolittle

Clever linkage of George with the pushmepullyou.

He could have escaped on a zimmer the length of time it took you to come out that loo!

#44 - I was making myself pretty!

#45 - He was charged with not wearing a seat belt. I wonder what he wrote on the insurance claim form?

;o)

#22 - #25 - Scotch - The refresh button activates a wee bell which tells Jeanette that Paolo needs another drink.

#43 - Glen - Do you mean pushmi-pullyu?

#45 was it anything like

I've never read the books. Enid Blyton made me what I am today.

#50 - ??? - The Angry Pixie? - ???

;o)

Just checked last night`s playlist (Smoke on the Water?? History?) and I see we didnt get Oi Va Voi. Pity.

Tonight, how about Chas and Dave as the opener and Joe Dolce to close the show. That`ll work.

#52 - Adam - Check out!

Presumably anything from the Braggster's Talking with the Taxman about Poetry would work?

#53

Yes, yes I know all that - but hardly what I'd term an historical event.

Yakking on about what I want...

* Billy Bragg - Greetings to the New Brunette
(A double whammy as its from the aforementioned Talking with the Taxman about Poetry album)
* The Saw Doctors - Catriona Tells Lies
* The Saw Doctors - That's What She Said Last Night

Songs that *are* conversations
* Billy Bragg - Walk Away Renee (version)
* Human League - Don't You Want Me?
* Robbie Williams (with Rupert Everett) - They Can't Take That Away from Me
* The Streets - Get Out of My House
(OK, there's no danger of getting that one, even without the fairly strong swearies)

'Word Up' ... Cameo (Yo)
'Body Talk' ... Imagination (29 years ... naw!)
'SOS' ... Abba (the favourite 'pop' song of many equally famous peers)
'Some Candy Talking' ... The Jesus & Mary Chain (allegedly)

Howdi team,

that was decent of you to express concern for my poor napper, and yes, Glen, the car was absolutely fine... My own car is recovering from me blowing up the engine and I've been scooting about in one of the office mini's.

As I got into it last night I subconciously endeavoured to both sit in the car and close the door in one gracious and gliding movement - trouble was I didn't sit in the car quickly enough and battered the door off my napper which wasn't quite inside the car as the door came in. It caught me just to the side of my right eye.

Senga, if I had a gull wing Mercedes this probably wouldn't have happened. So I'll get one before our next trip to Blackpool.You'll be quicker in the lavvy the next time, so I'll need a faster car anyway.

Mind you, it must be about a year since our hero fell off his bike?

regardez youse

henri

#61

So are you saying he's due another fall?

#59

Worth noting that Greetings to the New Brunette features the Blessed Kirsty and Venerable Johnny Marr.

Hello all,

Lou Reed - New York Telephone Conversation (quirky wee track from Transformer)

Dave Edmunds - Girls Talk (one of my all time favourite singles, never get tired of hearing this track, funny enough the writer Elvis Costello did go on to record his own version but it was not any good).

John Prine - Hello In There (again a favourite and I know SG likes this too. Principally about aging but the message of taking the time to talk to each other and especially speak to older people is great, I think, for this theme.)

Henri - hope you feel better soon. Don't feel daft either as I have also injured myself in this way in the past....I also fell out of a car and broke my arm once so they don't have to be moving to hurt you!

Lucky you had the car - you were too drunk to walk.

I was sitting on my own
No one rang so I picked up the phone
Then I heard your voice
I was listening in

Once upon a time at home
I sat beside a telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you

She said "I know what it's like to be dead.
I'd like you to BRING ME THE HEAD ......"

Things People say - Lady Antebellum - SG, Norrie, this sounds pretty good to me?


What'd I Say - Albert King, Pop Staples and Steve Cropper - great blues jamming

#69

Relieved, my heid is sore enough without those two.

And after my undignified attempt to get in the car, the last thing I want to hear about is a converstaion with a council worker planning to buy a dinghy twinned with incomprehensible musings about Keynesian economics.....

only Talk Talk will make me feel any better...

In a manner of speaking ~ Nouvelle Vague

Pete Townshend - Comminication

great track from his best solo album, I am fairly sure this was a single. Half of Big Country in the backing band.

Ah, forgot the wonderful:

* The Go Go's - Our Lips are Sealed
Can you hear them
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well that's no surprise

Careless talk
Through paper walls
We can't stop them
Only laugh at them

#77 yip sound choice!
