Tracks from GIO - too many to list but

Some Guys Have All The Luck - The Persuaders comes to mind, thanks Paulo and 'Relator' was credited to me on the night but was first suggested by Frank In Denny.Big 2nd for Joe. Joe suggested

Melody Gardot - Baby I'm A Fool

There are zillions of others:

and as proof that persistence is omnipotent, Bryan converted me to
The Smiths: What Difference Does It Make

but that'll do

#4 likewise, Steve - it's one of my very favourites on the iPod, yet in spite of the radio having been on all day at work I never heard it before GIO last year.

Without a microscopic shadow of a doubt the most fresh and amazingly hypnotic sound I heard in 2010 came from a new LA duo called Nostalghia. One listen of 'MechANIcal Heart' was enough to convince me that I was in the presence of something special, and daringly different.

Would be well pleased if you could give this one a slot in what is likely to be a busy schedule.

I bought Uprising but didn't much enjoy it though I heard

Supermassiveblackhole - Muse

and think it one of the finest records ever made - I first heard it on GIO & also big 2nd's for the Villagers though I think

Set The Tigers Free is the daddy.

Regardez youse

henri

PS I think I love Plastic Beach because its a prog rock album.. seriously!

Hello,

I stumbled upon a band called Crippled Black Phoenix last year and found them to be quite amazing. Its a super group involving a few bands, Mogwai and others.

For tonight i would like to hear Crippled Black Phoenix - Really, How'd It Get This Way?

or

Of a Lifetime, originaly a Journey track.

Its quite hard to find a track they do under 12mins so i have selected these two for the benifit of the show.

Kind regards,

Thomas Hannah

almost forget about

Numb - Marina & The Diamonds

and

The Recluse - Plan B

I see a song I've been asking for but have played has made it onto the playlist!!!

The Bees - 'Winter Rose'


I'll definitely second...or is it third...Villagers - 'Becoming A Jackal' fantastic song...and of course the Graham Parker song. Much underrated.

I am fond of The Coral just now...'Walking In the Winter' or 'Dreaming of you'

I like 'The Rat' by The Walkman - Relentless! Fantastic!

a cover of the Beatles song 'Girl' by folk singer John Tams

Jim Jones Review sound good - 'Shoot First'

and...finally, an old song I heard at my friend's house in France for the first time, which is totally brilliant...'Hey Joe' - Willy DeVille's mariachi version...wonderful!

#14. Just in...rushing...Louise,JuliefromEdinburgh'sPal is coming round for a blether (ok, a drink...hope I've bought enough!)...must dash!!!

meant to say The Bees track has been asked for but has not been played, and 'The Rat' is by The WalkmEn.

MONDAY

"Yin for the peenie, twae for the pan, three for the schemie and it's gan min gan
Echt for the attlet, ten for the bing, twel for the wheen and it's ging min ging"

Can any of the techies explain why the time this thread was posted is allegedly 10:23 this morning, yet it wasn't accessible at lunchtime?


We should be telt!


P.S. I salute the lack of accessibility!

#19 I think the Capt. explained why this happens sometimes. Something to do with it being set on a timer to get posted and then it disnae work.
Kinda like the "my alarm didn't go off" excuse.

#19

Or "The dog ate my alarm clock."
