looks like it's the space theme again - that's a flying saucer surely?

Nope, that's prince harry

A trailer for Monday's edition of Get It On was broadcast prematurely on Tom Morton's show today.

If you want to you can hear this trailer on the 'Listen Again' facility. 1 hour 27 minutes in.

Here is a wee sample:-

"It's Themeless Monday, so ask for whatever you like!"


You like that? Here's another:-

"There are no limits on tonight's playlist! Let's make it one of the most eclectic shows yet!"



Yes.


Let's...

Allegedly

#7/#9 spotted. Thank goodness. It's not as if the posts are really worth reading 5 times each.

Maybe Babs was being referred to as "it"?

Well it is clearly photoshopped but I think Miss B looks lovely. Brian next time pick a hat that matches Miss B's outfit, she would I am sure. And it is nice to see the puff shoulders making a comeback...long overdue.

has the bus to millport been sorted yet?............a place ah've nivver been.

cheers frea the dale

No wonder Babs is crying - that's a poor replacement for Bryan.

#7 - who slipped up this time? Just as well we have you on hand to keep us up to speed. They never taught us young 'uns grammar, ye kain. But - how come you never picked paolo up on the "worse" thing? Is it an in joke?
We should be telt.
!Hola Adam! - only 24 hours late. Hope it was worth the wait.

Anyhoos -
Caravan Palace Je M'Amuse
need some electroswing for Monday.
Hands up - one of the lads just introduced me to this lot. I've lost at least a stone since - can't stop dancing along. Usually in the kitchen. Whilst cooking something exotic or mundane - depends what's in the fridge.

Nothin wrong wi 'worse'. It's the 'ever' that puts it aw wrong.

Sounds like your culinary skills should be featured on Get It On M-D

Mary-Doll,

For one thing, #8 follows #7. For another, I expect better from the ´óÏó´«Ã½.

I agree with Lynne Truss and the much missed Keith Waterhouse.

Aberrant apostrophes are an abhorrent abomination.

There was one teacher remembered by all from Rothesay Academy of a certain era. He was terrifying in his use of sarcasm and there will be people whose lives were undoubtedly blighted by his withering ferocity; but there are also many who have been grateful all our lives for his insistence on precision in use of language. He was the one teacher that absolutely everyone spoke of when we had a reunion a few years ago, and the one teacher whose words could still be recalled with absolute clarity.

That's not entirely out of GIO context as his son was a DJ at one time and must have been one of the first GIO 'regulars', though not in several years now.

anyway, a wee eclectic mix for tomorrow for starters:


Month of May - Arcade Fire - timely

Ghost Woman Blues - The Low Anthem - favourite band of the moment

Quarryman's Lament - Joe Bonamassa - favourite guitarist of the moment

Angels With Dirty faces - Frankie Miller - in celebration of release of boxed set

El Rayo-X - David Lindley & Jackson Browne - because it's great fun

Chip - The Real McKenzies - because because

As new social convenor Gaie, tomorrows themeless bank holiday would have been a good night to have arranged a swally. I mean come on get the finger out!

Paolo, I have to remind you AGAIN that I could not be appointed social convenor before the AGM, and being newly employed again I find my time in short supply for arranging the extra-curriculars, therefore will not be standing for office.

However, just say the word and I'll be happy to attend whichever event you, as current social convenor, are organising. My calendar of social events is unsurprisingly blank at present.

I'll be in Elie in an hour and a half if anyone fancies a pint...

Who's Elie?

#23
The words `buying me` are strangely missing here.

#17
I hung around, spinning on my seat waiting for you MD, but eventually gave up and went to see Thor instead.

#22 Congratulations on your new job Gaie. who are you working for? Sticklerforprocedures.com?

Monday
I've been workin / Van Morrison

For Gaie's new career

#22, #26

Gaie,

Please allow me to add my congratulations.


#25

Adam,

Thor has been getting good reviews. Does it live up to the hype?

Every night / Phoebe Snow
Germ free adolescence / poly styrene

a wee tribute since both passed away last week

#22 Congratulations, gaie!

#18 DC, my culinary skills are no match to those that get a mention. ;o)

#19 - just sayin'. That's me telt? ;o)))

#22

Well done on being gainfully employed again, although I have to say I don't miss it. I wonder if you knew my old teacher JD who went to Rothesay. A friend of mine visits him occasionally. Approaching 90 but still able to recall his errant pupils and eccentric colleagues.

#26/#27 thank you both very much - very lucky to have got the job, though it may not last long: it's a temporary post on a gaelic unit in a primary school and well may you laugh, since my gaelic is most definitely not up to the mark. I'm in charge of one wee boy so can only hope that as long as I keep him occupied they'll hold off throwing me out for a week or two. You should see/hear the kids doing their times tables in gaelic while patting legs and head in the correct order - it's fine for those that have rhythm and don't have to think about it; a double challenge for the others.

A Brighter Beat - Malcolm Middleton

Thanks, Glen too. Did he teach in Rothesay?

or was he the rector?

thanks, mary-doll too

k d Lang - heaven

9 to 5 - Dolly for Gaie

Out of Work - Gary US Bonds for Glen (noting that he is happy to be so!)

Actually for Glen

It's 5 o'clock somewhere - Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet

And can keep trying for Julie

The Boss - Outlaw Pete

And for DC/Paolo

Van The Man - in the days before rock n roll

#33

Rector

A huge 2nd for Phoebe Snow and the McCartney classic 'Every Night' . I had it as a single late 70's (I think) but haven't heard it in years. I must go and download it now.

Sorry about Polly and whilst I 'get it', equally, I can't pretend to like it - being honest, much of the punk stuff just doesn't stand up beyond it's significance to it's time.

I note that none of the GIO disco playlist made it onto the real playlist - mind you, news that Elie Goulding's version of 'Your Song' ( "the worst record ever made" - G Miller) is the future monarch's favourite record does make you wonder if my debilitating comprehensive education was so bad after all. I was rather taken with the bridesmaid myself. Wonder what she's into?

regardez youse

henri

#36

aha! well yes, indeed he was the fourth rector in my time, though I don't think the turnover was all my fault. And he'll certainly remember Nelly, the English teacher. And the history teacher, she was a bit bonkers.

Henri, if you're well enough in to know what the real playlist was, how come you don't know what the country's most eligible girl is into?

#37 so did I. (The Phoebe Snow single).


Never noticed the bridesmaid. Was too busy trying to see if Harry's dad had been invited.

#39

That reminds me; you can ask for Alan & his Sherman Tank on Monday.

#25 I would have bought you a pint (again) had you been there

A fine trip to the pub slightly spoiled by having to drop sails & motor home in order to beat the tide

#40
Monday
You went the Wrong way old King Louie / Alan sherman

Your right Scotch this is a bonus. Thought I only had a tank theme left to request it

I'd better show my support for 'Every Night' by Phoebe Snow considering the umpteen-and-a-bit times I've requested it!

Which bridesmaid are you all talking about? The wee one who looked like a little old man? I'm glad the very little ones disappeared for most of the ceremony...she was scaring me!

#37

And they were doing so well up to that point.

#38

To lose two rectors may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose three looks like carelessness.

#31 Gaie, well done finding something that you've got an interest in, it's a rare opportunity and hopefully your enthusiasm will carry you through!

Themeless Monday:-

I'm gonna go with something from my favourite album at the moment "The Deep Field"

Kiss The Specifics - Joan as Police Woman

Paul from Ayr

thank you, Paul

The Royal Rave-up...

Rule over apathy...

As Monday has 'NO' theme I decided to find songs with the word No in their title:

No Strange Delight - Roxy Music
No Face No Name No Number - Bryan Ferry (Traffic cover)
Nobody Loves Me - Bryan Ferry

J.O'B.

I wonder why we don't have a thread for Themeless Monday?


It's not like there are any distractions.......

THEMELESS MONDAY:

Pink Martini...perfect band for a Bank Holiday GIO show:
'Splendor In The Grass'
'Let's Never Stop Falling In Love'
'City Of Night'

Or...if you won't give them a go...

'Gold In Them Hills' - Ron Sexsmith + Chris Martin (one of my oft-requested, studiously-ignored songs...just beautiful...well worth a play)

'Patio Song' - Gorky's Zygotic Mynki ... "Isn't it a lovely day for love"

'Rock and Roll' - Velvet Underground

'Agolo' or 'Battu'- Angelique Kidjo ... African music's lovely for a sunny day

'Hey Joe' - Willy De Ville's superb mariachi version

I'm jolly awfully keen on Wye Oak at the moment...'The Altar'...great harmonies

The Daughter suggests 'Mr Curiosity' - Jason Mraz...she likes the 'surprise' towards the end.

I wonder if they'll do a John Barry in light of today's events?
