'Summertime, Summertime' ~~ The Jamies

#4

Mega second for Mungo Jerry & In The Summertime!


Always makes me reflect on a couple things...
that summers movie blockbuster, "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" & my collection of Planet of the Apes bubble-gum cards. Travelling the old A9 in the Morry Thou to the caravan at Findhorn!

wATCH YOURSELF ON THE BLEEDING ROAD!

14...Caravan at Findhorn! Fantastic! Many a great holiday there. Last one was during floods but still great!

my best holidays have been in France...

Charlie Winston (Tom Baxter's brother) - 'Like A Hobo'

Mika was first non-French act to play Francofolies in La Rochelle...'We Are Golden'

visted my friend Kathleen in Lourdes last year...she introduced me to:

Willy DeVille - 'Hey Joe'...a mariachi version, abig hit in France...it's really worth listening to. Reminds me of my birthday, when I was feeling extremely pleased with myself (as someone scared of wasps and bees and generally flying stingy things) having gone to Kathleen + Jean-Pierres' beekeeper-friend's house in a village in the pyrenees, with the contents of their beehives to extract the honey. Spent soooo long in an outbuilding hooching with bees, some of them crawling over my feet as they chatted, laughed and worked all sorts of machinery to collect the honey from the combs...fascinating stuff and J-P didn't even let on he'd been stung twice...just so I didn't freak out! Bees are fascinating creatures - I love them now!

The bees didn't work the machinery...they're not that clever!

Wow - that's a record for me - 5 of my shouts played on the one show - and a busy show by all accounts.

The morons are already loafing about, sitting up ultra late, disappearing with their pals until the wee small hours on weeknights all culminating disturbed sleep for me and a zombie lifestyle for them.

Do Nothing - The Specials

Fabulous summer 'ice cream parlour' music.

regardez youse

henri

Getting my suggestions in early cos by show time tomorrow, I'll be on my way already

Assuming we're doing the klaxon track for the opener, here's a good followup (and/or candidate for coming out of the news at 7):
* Ash - Oh Yeah
* Dodgy - Staying Out for the Summer

And as I'll be on my way, let's have
* The Saw Doctors - I'll Be On My Way

For those holidaying in the West of Scotland:
* The Saw Doctors - Will It Ever Stop Raining?
* Billy Bragg - St Swithin's Day
* Fat and Frantic - Aggressive Sunbathing

For the rest of us:
* All Saints - Pure Shores
* The Orb - Little Fluffy Clouds
* Jane and Barton - It's A Fine Day

You'll never, ever play it but
* Pink Floyd - Pillow of Winds
is just the perfect soundtrack for the long lazy sunny days.

Oh, yeah, if we're having Mr Blue Sky can we have the most excellent version by The Delgados?

Ta

#19 amazing. Only 5. You would think with all those lists you would get more....

#19

Steady Henri, you`re sounding a bit like jFe there.
I mean given your long list of nap shoo-ins at No#6 yesterday, I`m surprised you didnt go for GM`s record of predos.

And besides, its comments like those that drive Scotch Git to mumbling and kicking a can doon Sauchiehall St.

#19/23

I apologise unreservedly to the blogotariat for sounding anything like jFe - the ultimate irony - I did say at #6 they were blindingly obvious, though I really do like them whereas I found it hard to accept jFe actually requested things he liked as opposed to things that were merely thematic.

A list of one for Friday, but I really love it.

Okay, back to requesting the less obvious and running futile campaigns in support of enjoyed but never played artists. Mr Git could with the company, i'm sure.

I would ask for the Isley Brothers version of summer breeze but it's only really worth hearing if you play the full version instead of the radio edit.

So instead, the one that always gets me in holiday mode

Summertime / Courtney Pine

Yes it's the old standard but mainly an instrumental and it's almost like the song was written for his sax. It's got an alternative vocal in parts but the ultimate feelgood lift the spirits get it right up ye work i'm on my holidays type of tune. Is that a good enough reason to find it?

On The Beach - Chris Rea (we dont get much Chris Rea on the show)



and whats our favourite `Girl From Ipanema` version, Henri?



Anyway, you`ll all have had your summer by now. Was there not a few grand days in May?

:)

3rd June was nice Adam. This weekend might be nice too! Apart from that...ugh!

fear not ....forecast for 3rd July....sunnny 19C....yayyy!

Not quite as warm as Maputo but not far off, OK it's winter there but it all sounds good in this one...

Mozambique - Bob Dylan

Who says Dylan can't do Summer?

"...sunny skies are aqua blue.......lying next to her by the ocean...."


it's all here from the special one, shamelessly ignored on numerous occasions by Bryan....

.....now's your chance to shine Alison!


Paul from Ayr

#19

You're right. The holidays herald the obstruction of almost every daily activity by a horde of increasingly foul-mouthed and aggressive children. Roll on autumn.

Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran

#29 see #9

You're three days early




DC

Premature pontification

From a time when UK summers were really summers


Barbados - Typically Tropical

#19 - Henri - Well done, dear! Now don't rub it in. You know how envious the other boys get!

;o)


Alison - Speaking of boys, a lot of them will be getting this advice! LOL!

Get A Haircut (And Get A Real Job) - George Thorogood & The Destroyers

:o)

No holiday plans yet so I'm:

Waiting for the Sun - The Jayhawks

Holger Czukay - Cool in the Pool

Let's get cool together ☺

For all teachers:



I'm Free - The Who

Summer's here? Need windows in this office!

Squeeze - Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)

"They do it down on Camber Sands
They do it at Waikiki"

Martha & The Muffins - Echo Beach

#24

Speaking for myself, apologies ain't necessary as I reckon you're amongst friends.

another couple...for my brother-in-law Al...they'll remind him of his youth!

'jesamine' - The Casuals

'Swiss Maid' - Del Shannon (yodelling...yippee!)

Ben Harper & Vanessa da Mata - Boa Sorte (Good Luck)

A perfect summery record ☺
