BRING ME THE RED PLANET OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

BRING ME THE CEPHEID OF SCOTCHEDO GITCIA

Orange Blossom Special - The Spotnicks

Hats off to Sir Patrick for the longest running TV programme in the world and a nod to Brian May - luthier, astronomer and musician.

Great theme, really looking forward to the programme.

Here are my suggestions:

Bowie always good value for space:

David Bowie:

Space Oddity
Hallo Spaceboy
Starman
Moonage daydream
Love Rocket F1-11 (oh yes cover of sigue sigue sputnic)
New Killer Star
Fall Dog Bombs The Moon
I took a trip on a gemini spacecraft
Lady Stardust
Shining Star
Looking For Sattelites
Loving The Alien
Star

Of those would also like to recommend to blog the fantastic re-mix of Moonage Daydream. Ronson at his absolute best. Please check this out if you ever get the chance:

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream

remixed by Alan Moulder and Alan Wright. This version is readily available officialy and was used in a Dunlop Tyre advert i think. It truly is brilliant.



Also

Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine

Black - Fly Up To The Moon

and worth checking out

Andy Whyte - Me, The Moon, My Car and You

Must go the training for STS-134 continues. The Space shuttle Endeavour will not deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and spare parts to the International Space Station on its own.

Today at University I learned ctrl+C and ctrl+V, very handy.....

You just looked up the last space playlist Norrie! That's cheatin!!!!

TUESDAY


A song about the 1969 moon landing, told from the perspective of Michael Collins, the astronaut who stayed with the mother-ship while Aldrin and Armstrong went walkabout.

N.B. The acronym LEM refers to the Lunar Excursion Module.


"I'm with you, LEM,
'though it's a shame that it had to be you.
The mother-ship is just a blip on your trip
made for two.
I'm with you, boys, so please employ
just a little extra care.
It's on my mind. I'm left behind
when I should have been there.

Walking with you..."


'For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me' - Jethro Tull

To start the show:

#15 & #19
How do you know MD? You're a newcomer.
Aren't you?

Anyway I think the GIO team have a wee surprise for us tonight. I think they will have looked at the pages of playlists from previous Space nights and decided to give us something different.
So there will be no Bowie (sorry Norrie), no Rocket Man (unless it's Kate's version - good shout RJ), no Carpenters (sorry Senga), no Planet Earth (dont think it counts anyway), no Flash etc etc.

It'll be Space, fellow Bloggers, but not as we know it.

However, in the interest of tradition, I do think it is important that we maintain



Clouds Across The Moon - The Rah Band

for MazzyStar

Glen certainly did not like the tone of Henri's last email.

Patrick's new monocle had a zoom facility powered by a fuel cell sewn into his semmit

What is all this?

2 & 3 I think we've had, but 1 is a stoater of an idea, RJ.

#31

I'm back on the pushbike, Senga, so I've been texting because by the time I get home the blog is beyond the presenter's attention: And I'm checking out Radio 6 for research purposes, having checked out everything else. With our hero being away I thought it as good a time as any... I thought last ight's show was a stoater so hopefully Vic will stick with an eclectic mix... on the subject of which...

Starship Trooper - Yes fortunately it comes in different recognisable chunks so you could play the last three minutes quite unproblematically.

and

Medicine Jar - Paul McCartney & Wings from 'Venus & Mars' or Venus & Mars repreise from the same album -

regardez youse

PLANET OF MY DREAMS from THEM OR US by FRANK ZAPPA

PLANET OF THE BARITONE WOMEN from BROADWAY THE HARDWAY by FRANK ZAPPA

Paul Weller - 'Andromeda'

#38 I understand this is one of your favourite themes so you're possibly not as objective as you would like to appear. I'm sure there are more people enjoying the theme than not, so....whatever. Just stating an opinion.
As for being new here - I've been a listener for longer than I have been a blogger here. So, yes, I have heard the theme a good few times. ( ;o) )

#38 shows how much you kain, Bowie wis a shoo-in

#35
