The Mercy Seat is a great track, I bought a brilliant 12" single on Record Store Day with four different version by Nick Cave but I do really like:

Johnny Cash - The Mercy Seat


from one of the albums of last year:

Phosporescent - Heaven, Sitting Down


and a great T-Rex b side with Gloria Jones on backing Vocals:


T-Rex - Sitting Here

This is a riot (please stay seated) / Hercules Mandarin

From the album Blonde Drunk Brilliant.

Is there such a thing as a caption klaxon?

Drivers seat / sniff n the tears

Caption

"Ah'm tellin' ye, man! It wis yon size!!"

"Ah'm no' swallyin' that!"

Anyone not speaking at burns suppers interested in a meet up sat 29 jan..
Since there wasn't a festive one organised and then we'd to wait till everybody got paid again it seems like as good a date as any.

So I says to her, can they be weighed? She nodded, like, so I went Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

" So, where did the name 'Grinderman' come from?"

His enthusiastic applause was interrupted by the sudden onset of rigor mortis

' Sitting Down Here' - Lene Marlin

'Spirit In The Sky' - Norman Greenbum

"As I was saying to our tailor; never mind the quality, feel the width!"

#6 Paolo, I have a very small window of opportunity stretching from now until March, so I could just about fit in a session on Jan 29th !!!

...sitting here in the early grey of a Delph town morning....

Delph Town Morn - Barclay James Harvest

Paul from Ayr

TUESDAY


This song can no longer be ignored. Its theme has arrived.

'Ode De Toilet (The Toilet Song)' - Brad Paisley

Essentially a love song, on a subject which everyone who has ever shared a house with a person or persons of the opposite sex can relate.


P.S. It's also rather amusing.

One more stupid question and I'll throttle you

TUESDAY

Sitting on Top of the World - Cream

Seven Little Girls (Sitting in the Backseat) - The Avons

I'll Fly By The Seat Of My Pants - King Creosote

Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down - RL Burnside

I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter - Fats Waller

Rockin' Chair - the Band

Sittin' Round - Joe Satriani

#15

Anyone looking to be amused might want to do this: I was looking up suggestions for 'sitting' on Spotify and up came across this artist called 'Beans On Toast'.

It's completely mental: try 'Can't Buy Me Love' or 'I Fancy Laura Marling' or any of the other myriad,funny songs like 'Kate Moss's Birthday Party' or 'Eggs Benedict'.

Politically incorrect,humour for blokes, I think - endemic bad language but well used, that sort of thing. Cheered me up on blue Monday. Mind you, Love and Money had already lifted the spirits - Beans On Toast lifted me higher still.

and watch the river flow.)

No. I caught her last year at St. Andrew's in The Square. Beautiful girl, great voice, very competent band. Just not terribly exciting. Maybe I'll have to learn Ladino.

鈥淪o Kylie says, 鈥淭hat big? What kind of fly were you using?鈥� as I stood smiling above her with a rock in my fist鈥�

I remember a great Stones song possibly from "Aftermath"called "Sitting on a Fence"and was a hit for some duo in 1966. Would be great to hear the Stones in untypically accoustic mood.Other songs that come to mind are the great Billy Stewart's "Sitting in the Park"and a real curio from the 60s by Cher,"You'd better Sit Down ,Kids" which caused a fuss because it was one of the first songs to deal with divorce and followed on from another "social comment" job of hers with the unbelievable title of "Mama can my Dollies have Babies"!Also Cindy Lauper's Oh,My Rocking Chair"is cool but I dont expect Bryan to play anything by Wayne (Jane?)County and the Electric Chairs!Would also big 2nd for Glen's choice of Phil Upchurch Combo's "You Cant Sit Down"Just try to when this funky masterpiece gets going!Cheers,Willie Bartke

Stand and deliver!!
