FRIDAY


Musicians? No room for guest GIO presenters, then...

C'est la vie!


KISS:- Bonnie Raitt - 'Longing in Their Hearts' ~ She could teach me how to slide...

MARRY:- Dolly Parton - 'Why'd You Come in Here Lookin' Like That?' ~ Why not?

AVOID:- Nanci Griffith - 'Speed of the Sound of Loneliness' ~ Her voice. AAAAGH!?!


>8-D

P.S.

Sorry, Norrie.

;-)

I would avoid the lot of them.

hahahahahahahaha
DC is a heshe

#1 we're finished

Anyone ever heard the phrase "the greeting wean gets the sweetie".

Just wondering. No reason of course.

No, but have heard say "shy boys don't get any sweeties"

SG the blog HERO!!!

He's now THE Scotch Git

#4

AC-DC ??

I think I've met the Vodka Git

#10

He's been sailing close to Torness

#10 he I mean she provided the opening track

#12

Not on the Queensferry per chance?

Talking of sailing....henri's got his favourite song on again

Curiously, Mrs C's initials are AC.

I'm sure that will provide hours of entertainment on the 6th.

Jarvis whimpers the show to a close.Boo Hoo

#15

Two Hot Legs and two Dignitys in less than a week. Sloppy producing that. Get your application in again Captain.

:)

#16
Despite the good turnout so far, there would still appear to be some notable bloggers yet to declare their hand. Mibbe they just don't believe your gonna buy the drink all night

Paolo, No can do... holiday!

#3

Glen. You have to say that. Mrs. Miller knows your password.

#19
Aye right.

Are you sure its not Miller Time that day?

I would prefer to think of this theme as akin to a childhood game we used to play

Kiss cuddle or torture

Kiss Diana Krall
Cuddle stevie nicks
Torture the proclaimers

God knows they've tortured me enough

Play them if you like. I'll be on a train in Geordieland.

Caption: Why don't you close your eyes when you kiss me!


FUN... this theme has all the excitement of a conversation at a Hen Party! However, question must be asked, Does it really matter?
I usually close mine. What do the blog women think of a man that does not close their eyes while kissing her?

Answers to Madmetrosexual

She'd only know if her own eyes were open. There's something creepy about the pic - he looks like he's auditioning to be a human Dyson. Other vacuum cleaners etc.

I think he might be inflating her.

#25

The gift that goes on sucking...

#26

Nah. He would use a bicycle pump.










































I imagine.......

like

#29

Naw, hen. Mair like

Of course, this is all Roxy John's fault. He's the one who dared Alison to play

'In Every Dream Home a Heartache'

The Kiss: Francoise Hardy - Comment Te Dire Adieu

I'd even change my name to henri for the occasion - I feel certain she'd be impressed.Sums up everything about French and sexy.Stunningly beautiful.


The Marriage: Donna Summer - Bad Girls (or any of Donnas 70's classics)

Donna has always reminded me of my mother.

Run Like Hell: Alanis Morrisette - Not The Doctor

Nor henri or just about anyone else.I know we're all inadequate really, but we don't need it hollered at us 24/7.This track is just about bearable.

regardez youse

henri

SG ~ are you Glen Miller?

Snog:

Scarlett Johannson. Without a doubt. But her records are not that great. Therefore I would take a night with my favourite Granny, better if it was 1978 but she would be breaking the law, what the heck:

Marianne Faithful - Times Square

Marry:

Trisha Yearwood. this is a no-brainer. Tall. Voluptous (Glen can fix that spelling). Talented. Great cook and allows her hubby extended breaks in Las Vegas!! C'mon whats not to love. I've seen her in concert and chatted to (stalked) her afterwards. Sigh.

Trisha Yearwood - Sad Eyes or How Do I Live

Avoid:

Bette Midler. I am sure she is very nice and all that. She scares me. And has murdered too many songs to count...and yet...and yet...NO! Stop it Norrie! AVOID!

Wait I'd avoid.....

Grace Jones - brillianr but eeek scary wummin:

Grace Jones - The Apple Stretching

Now would ye look at that. I go away for a few hours and I return to find that I have my own blog.

Babs, get Alison telt. Girls don't know how to sail or catch lobsters


D(A)C

(Glen is now contemplating an answer which may incur the wrath of the moderators)

#19 tsk tsk, shame, lookin forward to it so much that i'm gettin some practice in tonite, in Embra of all places! As i'll be drinking at the real ale festival during the show I shouldn't really request anything.....but I like the theme.......

Paul. The trains close at about 11:45.

A taxi to Glasgow is £140 let alone Ayr. I know this to my cost. Hurry along now.....

Re Francoise Hardy, I'd be equally happy with Mon Ami La Rose or Memory Divine, or the stunning Tant De Belles Choses

#34 Agreed Norrie, but 'Relator' is a good number and it's dreivetime friendly.

Anyway, if you like Marianne Faithfull check out The Vogue Years compilation for Francoise Hardy and some of her 'granny' work - stunning, never heard by English speaking audiences.

regardez vous

henri

Wonder if Julie will get the emergency cal from paulhandley

#41 absolutely Norrie, i'll need to check if any of my selections got played......and thanks for the transport advice....should have had enough by then!

Kiss: Lisa Hannigan - Lille, saw her on "Later".....mmmm.....too young for me of course but then that's part of the attraction.

Marry: Kim Wilde - Water on Glass, would have been in my class at school had she been born in God's county, so ideal age for musical reminiscing. Everything in the garden would be rosy of course!!!

Avoid; Joni Mitchell - Help Me, great artist but maybe just a bit too mature for me

Paul from Ayr

That's a great Lisa hanigan track. Damien Riice has never been the same since the fall out

KISS would be Kate Middleton (then I would make a fortune from my kiss and tell story)

MARRY Kate Bush (then I would get to hear her sign live regularly)

AVOID got to be Mariah Carey (needs no explanation)

J.O'B.

One Kiss - Bryan Ferry - For RoxyJohn now blogging from the Tower of London

Alison - Thank you for a great week! Instead of waiting till Bryan goes on holiday again come and join our bevvy session in Edinburgh! Are the trams running yet?

;o)


Kiss - Garth Brooks aka "The Anti-Hank" - The Dance

While I'm winching the face off Garth he won't notice that Norrie has ran away with Trisha Yearwood! LOL!

;o)


Marry - Lyle Lovett - Don't Touch My Hat

A real man! Julia Roberts was married to Lyle but it seems they were incompatible.

He's a Scorpio and she's a Numpty.

;o)


Avoid - Tom Petty - Listen To Her Heart

I don't like pretty men. Gaie can keep him!

;o)

Snog:
* Suzi Quatro - Devil Gate Drive
* The Corrs -

Marry:
* Eliza Carthy -
* Eliza Carthy -
* Eliza Carthy -
(whose voice Kate Rusby's wants to be when it grows up)

Avoid:
* Lady Gaga
* Mariah Carey
* Celine Dion
* Madonna
who are merely some examples amongst many who need a ladder to get over themselves.

#45

One Kiss is in my top 10 Ferry/Roxy songs to miss

J.O'B.

Oh, and once RJ's gone to the scaffold, I'll take care of his widow :-)

(Y'all have seen Deadwood, right?)

#48

It's not his best. In Your Mind and Love Me Madly are among my favourites. I think Carrickfergus was a low point.

#50

Of course Carrickfergus is a low point - !

*Frrrdump-Tsh!*
(Thanyewvrrrmuch)

#47 forgive me for repeatin the story about the radio phone in where the listeners were invited to phone in and say what they would like to come back as in the next life and why?

One guy phoned in and said Caroline Corrs drumstool. Must have been something wrong with his line though cos it went dead and we never found out the why.

#46

You've no idea the treat you're in for in Edinburgh, Senga. Not a pretty boy amongst us - and I'm given to understand Adam is actually ruggedly handsome.

Adam is 'ruggedly handsome' in the same way that the Forth Brig is aesthetically pleasing to some............

Kiss: Karen Elson, somebody distract Jack White please.

Marry: Norah Jones could come away with me for seven years. I hope she's feelin' the same way but I doubt it. Don't know why ☺

Avoid: Andrea Corr, for her 'musical' abilities.

Karen Elson - The Ghost Who Walks
Norah Jones - Sunrise
The Corrs if you have to...

Kiss: Justin Currie...good looking, witty, writes lovely lyrics, great voice...I'd marry him but I think he's also a wee bit mental and I'm avoiding that these days!

Marry: Since Justin's suspected of being a bit mental I'll have to settle for Chris Martin who's, granted, a tad eager and worthy, but he seems a nicely-brought-up bloke and, at my stage in life, I appreciate that. The Daughter wouldn't be changing her name to Tofu or Celeriac or anything like that though...and I'm not giving up alcohol!

Avoid: My sister tells me I once talked in my sleep yelling "get off, get off". When she asked me who I was yelling at I said it was Rod Stewart! Still don't fancy him but I like his music.

Kiss: Justin: Del Amitri - 'Tell Her This'
Marry: Chris: Coldplay - 'The Scientist'
Avoid: Rod: The Faces - 'Stay With Me'

Noooooooooo! Can I change my Chris Martin choice to this song I've requested umpteen times...It's jolly awfully good:

'Gold In Them Hills' - Ron Sexsmith with Chris Martin.

Senga - how dare you! I'd kiss him and marry him too, but the lovely Dana would probably have something to say.
Brad Paisley seems quite house-trained so I'd settle for marriage to someone kind for a change
and nothing on earth would induce me to go near Mick Jagger.

Refugee - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
You Do the Math - Brad Paisley
Angie - The Rolling Stones

#53

Speak for yourself!

Senga, I'm both fit & handsome >8-)

and such an unassuming chap

#33

This is a silly theme.

Absolutely ;-)

Roxy John

Whilst goofing about on Spotify checking out more francoise hardy tracks i came across a jane birkin album on which francoise duets. To my slight astonishment there was a Bryan Ferry/Jane Birkin duet on 'In Every Dream Home A Heartache'

I rather liked it - where does it sit in the J.OB appreciation of the Roxy canon of work?

regardez vous

henri

The version is OK. It is nt really a duet as they don't sing together it's just one singer one verse, the other singer the second verse. I would like to hear the full recording of Ferry as they both did both verses when it was recorded.

J.O'B.
