Your kiss on my list...
Elsewhere I thought Ben Harper's Waiting On An Angel was a standout suggestion and although we had some angelic voices on the show it was hard to top Aretha.
Behind the advent window for Friday is some mistletoe which means we'll do kissing as a theme. That should give us some nice fun suggestions for a Friday night. Email in your snogging suggestions or why not leave them here on the blog....

On Wednesday night "Winter" from Love & Money's 'Dogs In The Traffic' album was played.
Tonight, "Evangeline" from Love & Money's 'Dogs In The Traffic'album was played.
If, tomorrow night, you play what is easily the best track on the one of the best albums ever made then justice will have been done to the much requested James Grant.
The track is You're Not The Only One - Love & Money from the 'Dogs In The Traffic' album.
This is a completely magnificent country song and it remains one of the great mysteries of time as to why none of the big country stars have picked up on it.
The justification is simple: the theme will doubtless be about the joy of kissing - but there is that other sensation,when kissing is no longer a joyful anticipation but a symbol of a lost spark, the end of the affair - being together, but not together and the longing for a resolution or the restoration of a better past...
'take me back behind the fire station with you
and there in the west end rain
kiss me like you used to..
you're not the only one...
who's lonely tonight..
Go on Bryan, indulge us, Xmas is coming... three in a row.
At James's City Hall gig in June (Smiffy and me got plastered) the entire audience sang along with this .. magic. I shall be there to witness the Celtic Connections Love & Money gig. Anyone who doesn't have a ticket, get one.
