MONDAY


'Rapid City, South Dakota' - Kinky Friedman

I thought yon Jackson, Taylor, Brando trip was exposed as an urban myth. The Kinkster would be good company. He likes a good cigar and a wee drop of Guinness.

I'm Goin' to Acapulco with The Band




DC

...And again...'Welcome To Tijuana' (live version) - Manu Chao...have a listen...a guaranteed kitchen-dance-arounder!

What about starting the show with Andy Stewart's The Rumour?

MONDAY


'I Don't Like Methil' - Michael Marra


Like #4, a wee tour of Scotland. I'd like tae go on a wee tour wi' Gabriel Quigley.

>8-D

At the risk of a spell in the request wilderness.... Place names again? Trying to give space a run for it's money Miss B?

Looking forward to Tuesday's show. Great songs by folk that can sing. Henry the Hoover can stay in the cupboard!

Time to get that list out again Paolo?

I'd happily go

To Ohio with the Low Anthem

I wouldn't mind the

Louisiana Rain if I were along with Tom Petty

Does the "she would like to know who you would get to accompany you on your journey" part make it a wee bit different?

My pal and I plan to make a trip to Memphis and Nashville in October, I may stay on in the states before hitting Vegas in November. If so I will fly to Phoenix and drive up through the desert. I cannot think of anything better than being accompanied by the following:

Elvis Presley (Memphis) Suspicious Minds
Willie Nelson (Nashville) Always On My Mind
Emmylou Harris (Phoenix) Every Grain Of Sand
Gram Parsons (Las Vegas) ooh Las Vegas or The Return of the Grievous Angel
Peter Gurlanik (writing the memoir)

we could go to

California - Low (not to be confused with TLA)
on the
City of New Orleans - Arlo Guthrie
might stop off
In Scandinavia - Runrig
and end up in
Australia - Manic Street Preachers

oh OK then, Tom's coming half way then Mike's coming along for the other half. And nobody's coming along to write about it.

Ach forget America, I'm going tae Derbyshire

Stainsby Girls with Chris Rea

Sounds a good venue



DC

Road trip this summer involves moving no. 1 child from Atlanta to Alabama a musical journey which start with America Niel Diamond or letter from America from our very own Proclaimers with Georgia (can't remember who sings it) for current location ending in Muscle shores Alabama as mentioned in Sweet home Alabama where the famous swampers are from and all the bits in between filled with 'A little bit of country a little bit of rock and roll' and knowing no.1 some brand new Indie too are we there yet?

Muscle shoals sorry x

jinkk sounds a great trip - good luck to No.1 child.

Your mention of Muscle Shoals reminds me of my theme idea "the famous studios"

I could tell you a story about frankie miller and mussel shoals but I'll save it for the next night out that Gaie organises

Van Morrison -- Coney Island


Coming down from Downpatrick
Stopping off at St. John's Point
Out all day birdwatching
And the craic was good
Stopped off at Strangford Lough
Early in the morning
Drove through Shrigley taking pictures
And on to Killyleagh
Stopped off for Sunday papers at the
Lecale District,
just before Coney Island......



Wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time?

What a song

The Daniel O'Donnell concert in Glasgow has been rescheduled for September. God help us! Henri - You get the tickets. I'm still paying for my holiday.

Cue Stephen, Ricky, Young Victor...

#30, #31

let's all go - the GIO summer outing for those that have already been to Millport

Was that a GIO cycle trip round cumbrae you suggested there Gaie? I'm up for that. A mighty fine way to work up a thirst!

Cue Andy Stewart... Goin' doon the watter (fur the ferr)

Who wants to be on the front of my tandem

Paolo, that was suggested on air months ago as Mandy (I think it was Mandy) hadn't ever been to Millport. But I'm always up for a trip to Millport. What day did you think, Paolo?

Any Sunday suits me but you would need to ask Mandy

OMG! I have the hangover from hell!

#13 - jinkk - Bring us back an Angel From Montgomery - Bonnie Raitt

:o)

Back from Manchester & The Wall


I gotta little black book with my poems in......


What a show, pure theatre from first to last. There was even a model Spitfire with a 12 foot wingspan flying past and bursting into flames as it hit The Wall at the climax of the first track, 'Outside The Wall'. The graphics shone onto the wall were brilliant; at one point you believed the entire structure was spinning on a centre vertical axis. All that was missing on the night was David Gilmour himself but, even so, the highlight of the gig was 'Comfortably Numb' with Dave Kilminster in the spotlight atop the wall.

Absolutely brilliant

DC

#41 - Of course it was, dear boy! Now keep the bloody noise down!!!

;o)

Fantastic DC!

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

That was quick!!!! Moderator must be watching this site like a hawk!

It's certainly made my grin saggy.

Vicky Leandros Theo, wir fahr'n nach 艁贸d藕

A road trip with horses. From the boring countryside of mooing cows and hay bales to the glittering city where you can sing and dance with some elegance.......
NASCIH. ;o)

I hope the locals have forgotten the last time they came to Poland.

#9 Nip doon tae Rio inbetween for my birthday Norrie!

#50 Not a bad idea! That would be fantastic.

DC

@Senga great suggestion a wee Diversion to Montgomery in order

Obviously
* Billy Bragg - A13 (Trunk Road to the Sea)
The Essex version of Route 66.
If you plan to go to Shoeburyness
Take the A road, the OK road, that's the best
Go motoring down the A13

But also
* The Sawdoctors - N17
* The Sawdoctors - All the Way from Tuam
* The Sawdoctors -
We used to go out driving
We'd travel near and far
Nearly every Sunday in me
Father's oul' ford car
He'd be pointing out the landmarks
Everywhere we'd go,
Through the twisting, turning, winding roads
Of Galway and Mayo

I would go on a trip to Ireland with the US president because

Also any danger of Jackie Leven's as an alternative to Mr Cash?

If only for the whole verse of
Baden Baden Baden Baden
Baden Baden Baden Baden
Baden Baden Baden Baden
Baden Baden Baden Baden...

so the trip is in No 1s car with a U haul but if the trip was just a fantasy who would I take along for the trip and what kind of car if I had a choice.... someone with great musical knowledge and a well stocked MP3, someone with a sense of humour, someone with a sense of direction and me makes 4 car...? any suggestions?

TRIP TO JERUSALEM - Christy Moore


{:-{)}

Rapture? Sorry. Not my department!

President O'Bama is in Ireland. To be sure.

Youse are all going nowhere

Breakdown dead ahead / Boz Scaggs
Roadblock / SAW
Car trouble / Adam and the Ants
Travellin without Moving / Jamiroquai
Sleeping in my car / Roxette






For all the M8 drivers who won't find this theme remotely funny at as they sit in their usual Monday evening carpark

It's obviously going to be one of those days 鈽�

#17

If you're going Dubliners then at least let's have Monto.

#41

2nd time I've missed going to The Wall live.

Last time was 1990...

*sniff*

#56

Paul, believe me it isn't... lists in general suck! However they do highlight the apparent number of recordings habitually over-looked for Klaxon material.


#69

I wasn't being serious with the Jimmy Mac selection but hey if you get off on it then so be it... second Monto for the Capt.

Roxy Music 'Prairie Rose' (about Texas)

this was also covered by Big Country (they got their name from within the lyrics. Then Jericho covered this too.

I could say Virginia Plain too but that is well overplayed.

J.O'B. (hopeing the ash cloud goes away, I am due in Sweden for 2 Ferry gigs this weekend)

#72 Texas always seems so big
But you know you're in the largest state in the Union
When you're anchored down in Anchorage

Michelle Shocked - Anchorage

N17 by the saw doctors

#72

Any more Bryan gigs here?

Well, Paul McC was very good but a bit long. Could have lopped off 45 mins and everyone would still have gone home happy.


Back in the USSR - Beatles - with Olga to show me around.

#75 on behalf of RJ:

Yes Edinburgh Castle

#76

Were there shouts of "Less!"?

The Wombats - Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves)

Foals - Miami

#78

Funny you say that coz everyone kept moving to the exits only to have to stop and come back in as he kept doing unsolicited encores.

#75 #77

I don't think we have to pretend any more.

#80

Would you stand up and walk out on him?
Was the venue a success?

#81

Almost did when he played Obla di Obla da.

Yes it was. A bit awkard to get to and get home from, but inside it was great.

#82 don't rise to his bait Adam....

Dylan covers? Oh, goody! Play 'Dignity' for Henri.


>8-D

Where is the Hannah Man? He's been missing thur past few days.

#82

Not Mary Had A Little Lamb?

Scotland is shut down by high winds and a volcanic cloud approaches. But, first, The Rolling Stones.......

#86

The acoustic version?

Ha ha I do not always keep my promises, this is Chris from France again with yet another suggestion! 'Getting Closer' by the WINGS (Mac Cartney)
:)

Declan gets more airplay than Wogan...

I'm worried about Henri. Whales are beaching themselves on Maryhill Road.

Never mind that..what happened to "she would like to know who you would get to accompany you on your journey"

You're not going out on a night like this?

Of course I'm going out. It's only 8:00pm but first i'm going to read the blog....someone has to.....

But your priceless collection of Bruce Springsteen hairpieces will be targeted by every burglar also reading this.

I have had a weave now...

If it wisnae' for the weavers, where would ye be?

With this wind direction, probably the Skaggerak

I hate themeless...

weekends. Nuthin tae do except kick bals intae empty nets...

GOAAAALLL........


Ach it's no the same
