Peter Gabriel - Intruder, seriously scary. Great track.

Bryan,

That's no' how ye spell bizarre.


>8-D

This is a truy fantastic track.

Thomas Dolby - I Scare Myself

well worth looking up even if not played on show.

Just put on the album

Welcome To My Nightmare - Alice Cooper

for the first 50 mins.

If not, then the title track, "Black Widow" (you'll see where MJ got the idea for Thriller), "Cold Ethyl" or "Steven".

Your Song - Ellie Goulding - Truly horrific

I know - too obvious, title-wise. But there's more to it.
The Cranberries Zombie

Random list off-top-of-head:
Human League Being Boiled
Shakespeare's Sister Stay
Propaganda Dr Mabuse


Communards So Cold The Night
A song that would fit any number of horror movie scenarios of scary person lurking in the darkness (and one that will make all non-Jimmy fans squeal in horror. Bonus.) Very disturbing, but also incredibly beautiful and enticing. A bit like those Hammer house lovelies who just happen to have very piercing teeth. Jimmy's no beauty, but..... anyways. There is a holy man on hand to ....whatever. Overstretched that a bit already. ;o)

Sunshine on Leith / Proclaimers

#5 eric - your fixation with EG is a bit unhealthy. Are you sure you're not in denial? Or a relative?

Wrong chords, wrong melody, a lifeless vocal performance, not a scintilla of personality, a total absence of joy, without a spark of invention - a crime against music. You'd have to work really hard to make a record as bad as this from such a good song.

Wednesday's theme is feeding my paranoia...

>8-D

SG, that was a great shout of yours tonight - I just wish I didn't have a picture of the guy in my head - horror stuff right enough.

Fairground - Pulp

For my birthday in 2001, just before the September 11th attacks, my eldest gave me the album Carboot Soul by Nightmares on Wax - which I love... it may be a forlorn hope to hear a really really beautiful instruemental on GIO, but the great cinematic soundscape that is Les Nuits - Nightmares On Wax I always associate with New York and the terrorist attacks. If you listen, you'll understand why, which doesn't diminish from the track at all..and name of the band justifies it anyway!

Helter Skelter - the Beatles has similar unhappy assocoaitions, but that notwithstanding one of McCartney's best rockers .

It will be a similar forlorn hope of hearing even some of Strange - Hidden Orchestra

Well, that'll do for starters,not forgetting Dignity - Deacon Blue

regardez youse

henri

Schlock-horror...'I Want My Baby Back' - Jimmy Cross

TUESDAY


Hammer Horror - Kate Bush

Witches Promise - Jethro Tull

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner - Warren Zevon

and the song I'd really, really like to hear but they've never played it before and they're no' likely tae start noo;

Soul in Chains - Sensational Alex Harvey Band

;o)

'Little Red Riding Hood' - Sam the Sham And The Pharaohs

'Ghost Song' - Air (from The Virgin Suicides)

#11

Gaie,

Julia Roberts didnae' think so!

;o)


Oops! Cannae forget this;

Baron Samedi - 10cc


:o)

#9 agreed, yes. But you keep banging on about it.

I'm Jim Morrison, I'm Dead - Mogwai

Cymbal Rush - Thom Yorke

Re:Wednesday's theme:- Will someone please explain?

Ah've no' got a Scooby...


























puzzled git

#11 Scary find, Gaie. That's one I'd chosen to forget, it's just too weird. Seriously unsettling. Good to hear someone other than Jarvis getting a shot at the vocals, but.

OMG - when will someone suggest Fish Heads??? (not me)

#16

and then the lights went on.

I love the dead - Alice Cooper

(from the Billion Dollar Babies album, Adam)


I assume Henri has a wee yoal in mind?

#20 JimfraeErskine will do that.

#19 it's to drive us onto twitter, no doubt - but it's not 140 words because if you tweet from ths site your down to 76 words since the title takes up the rest. A challenge for someone as verbose as me.

Why are we losing an hour on Thursday?

regardez youse

henri

sorry characters, not words - freudian slip there, I'd need at least 140 words.

never heard it before, mary-doll, just spotified fairground since carousel-type music's often used in a scary sort of way - said it before, say it again, that's the best of GIO for me, unexplored avenues.

- the Dirty Robbers

#19 I'm guessing they mean keep it short and sweet, but snappy, Scotch. Nothing you're not capable of. I can only do the latter, so that's me......................... ;o)

#26

Mary-Doll,

Aye, but what does the Dragons' Den reference have to do wi' the theme?

(I don't watch much telly).

#23

Henri,

Thursday is when Scottish football's representatives in Europe get humped. Friday is when they make their excuses.

Come back, Ally McLeod. All is forgiven...

TUESDAY


Ally's Tartan Army - Andy Cameron


>8-D

Fa kens, Scotch? I don't watch much telly, either, I only know about DD because my colleagues talk about it.
If it's about pitting blog VS twitter - I'm out. Oranges and lemons.

It would never get played for good reason probably at tea time but the whole Life In The Bush Of Gohsts lp by Byrne and Eno is a standout for this theme. Incredible album. The Capn has probably tried downloading the 24 tracks to remix but its beyond my capabilities:

Byrne / Eno - The Jezebel Spirit (one for the montage maybe)

Byrne / Eno - Help Me Somebody (makes me nervous just typing it)

I cannot help but wonder if the intention is not really to play anything scary but just refer to Gohst, Thriller, Zombie, Dracula etc. Gohst Town etc if so as well as Thomas Dolby:

Indigo Girls - Gohst

The Rapahels - Too Many Gohsts

Indigo Girls - Gohst

Stevie Nicks - Midnight (A Vampires Dream)

will someone txt me to let me know it is not too scary....

#28 now now SG it is a game of two halfs (well four) and it is only halftime, all to be played for and etcetera.

Except for Hearts maybe....

#32

"...My Hearts were broken, sorrow, sorrow, etc."


for Julie

;o)

Ìý
Yon Tubular Bells sounds a wee bit creepy. Sumb'dy should use that in a horror movie!

#33 She will not be happy. Hibs dont play in Europe so you cannot blame them.

i nivver listen to these songs on a dark quiet night....so scary

'wuthering heights'..........kate bush

'you're the devil in disguise'.................elvis

cheers frae the dale

#28/32

yeah, but they get humped every year and we don't lose an hour of GIO?

matter of fact, when they do well, we don't lose an hour of GIO?

Shome mishtake shurely?

Or maybe it is a sad truth that the performance of our football teams in serious competition is so underwhelming that GIO is a bigger buzz..?

regardez youse

BRING ME THE 360° HEADSPIN OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

Some top shouts so far, welldone the regular bloggers!

#10 this blog / theme is feeding mine, have I shared my conspiracy theory with you all as yet ?
Martin ~ Soft Cell
Monster Man ~ T. Revillos
In The Shadows ~ T. Stranglers (for Senga wherever she maybe)
Ouija Board, Ouija Board ~ Morrissey
&
I Married A Monster From Outer Space ~ John Cooper Clark

All often requested by regularly ignored... Christ! this bloody paranoia.

there's a couple of tracks by Gnarls Barkley

The Boogie Monster

or the incredibly strange Necromancer which certainly hits the button for plain old bad taste - not sure if our hero would be happy with this at teatime.It would ceratainly stir it up a bit.

regardez youse

#37

Three games being played simultaneously. They need the channels.

ad I'll confess some confusion about the theme ... is this supposed to be cinematic soundscapes that you think would work, actual cinema filmscores, or Bobby Pickett?

TUESDAY


The Boogie Monster - Bobby Pickett


>8-D

Bowie scary monsters super creeps?
Monster mash
Werewolf of London
Don't do scary movies I'm a big fearty

Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody

#41

Oh well, once they all get humped, it'll not be a problem.

MOZZ (ooh yes the blogs very own panto villain) - Novemeber Spawned A Monster!

In the absence of RJ, Roxy's "The Bogus Man" would be good in a GIO stylee. One of the best tracks on For Your Pleasure IMHO!

this song always sees me and the dog hiding behind the setee.................
please give me 5 minutes notice before its played.....so i can cover the dogs ears.

'rider on the storm'.....................the doors

cheers frae the dale

Does #46 refer to #45?



(I love chick flicks!)


































sad git

What am I like! How could I forget:

David Bowie - Scary Monsters ( and Super Creeps)

and

Josh Ritter - Monster Ballads!

#50

Ben Dover wouldn't have an issue!

#48 The best track on For Your Pleasure!

I listened to it recently, it's amazing how modern it sounds - I almost played it at New Year too.It's amazing that no one has remixed it into other things - maybe they have and I'm not aware of it.

this is quite disturbing.

'follow me, i'm the pied piper'.........................crispin st. peter

cheers frae the dale

Howlin' at the Moon ~ T. Ramones

Bermuda Triangle Blues (flight 45) ~ Blondie. Sorry y'all but this one is okay ;-)

Ah.. another couple that fit the theme:

Night Comes On - Leonard Cohen wonderful ghost story.It would be nice to hear this.

Cold & Intimate - Nitin Sawhney

regardez youse

henri

'enri, Dunno re Roxy & sampling. BTW check out Soft Cell's Martin if not known to you... came as a free 12" single with The Art of Falling Apart back in the day, Hendrix Medley was on flip side!

- Nico - A voice from beyond the grave

Sandman - America, not the one that brings you a dream....it's the bad one

Flash - Joan as Police Woman, very atmospheric

Riders on the Storm - Doors, the intro should be at the start of every horror

1984 - Bowie, or practically anything from Diamond Dogs


Paul from near Alloway Auld Kirk

Just put on the album

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

for the first 50 mins.

If not, then the title track, will do.

Then of course there's Ronnie James Dio's whips and chains in:

"Stargazer" - Rainbow


or Mrs Blackmore's rousing but scary

"Hall of the Mountain King" - Rainbow

Would love the amazing ...... 'Sometime Around Midnight' ...... Airborne Toxic Event
Know you've been tempted by them recently BB ... this one's a beut!

Not far behind .....

'Spiritwalker' ..... The Cult
'Eloise' ...... The Damned
'Evil' ...... Interpol

'Gimme Hell' ...... The Jesus & Mary Chain
'In the Flesh' ...... Blondie
'Devil' ...... Beast
'That Old Black Magic' ...... Sammy Davis Jnr
'Ain't No Grave' ...... Tom Jones

I'm scared....to go into work since the GIO Team decided that "sex crime' was a suitable song for how your Boss might act theme.

Bryan there are confidential help lines.....

Hahahahah!
Thought it weird also but hey this is the show where you... ach, you all know the "strap"line by now.

oh! seconds for Airborne Toxic Event - that's a great song

also

Monkey - Low

oops, meant to do this: - go on, give it a whirl, been trying to get Low on for a while now and this fits the theme for sure

For the closing credits:

There's no lights on the Christmas tree mama, they're burning big Louie tonight - SAHB

Never mind Dusty, if you're gonna do Spooky then The Atlanta Rhythm Section do a mighty fine version.

or

how about a haunting tune of a real life horror
Ghosts of Dachau / Style Council
Their finest recording

and a guilty pleasure
Phantom of the Opera / Steve Harley and Sarah Brightman

'Leslie Anne Levine'...a creepy child-ghost story from The Decemberists.

Since it's a teatime show and the production team really care about their extended GIO family, they might like to help parents who might be struggling with child discipline by playing a cautionary tale of what could happen to children who suck their thumbs against their parents' wishes.

At the least, after hearing this really quite alarming and unusual song, they'll think twice before sticking their grubby little digits in their gobs...at most they'll cower trembling under the dining table hiding their hands up their sleeves...I'm quite wicked underneath my caring exterior and think either result would be amusing.

'Snip Snip' - The Tiger Lillies.

#61
Good Twin Peaks shout Julie.
Reminded me of the theme from True Blood:

"Bad Things" - Jace Everrett

Adam I see Peter Gabriel is playing the SWU Festival in Novemeber with his bumper Orchestra. He could play all his scary music....

Do we have time to write the script for this horror film? Who plays the villain? Who is the damsel in distress? And who is the man in the 'Scream' mankini?


A suggestion:
Henri should do the narrative

to set the scene/theme for the evening, could I respectfully suggest the following from my suitably scary album entitled 'Essential Death & Horror Sound Effect 2 (´óÏó´«Ã½)'

track 4: 'Three Men Screaming'

at a mere 8 seconds it should do the trick on a few fronts!

OK, here goes

Scene one

Opening credits roll as our hero on horseback fights gallantly against the pouring rain and storm force winds, slowly plodding into the port of Leith

(music: Riders on the storm

He approaches a lonely figure who is battling to keep the pathways clean from the autumn leaves and other things you find lying on the streets of Leith.

"Hurrawreer my guid man, can ye tell me where I can find a wee boat? I want tae buy it tae sail through the canal and on up the west coast"

to be continued......

I thought it didnae rain on Leith.
Surely the damsel in distress has to be played by Senga.

I remember Thunderthighs (the three wenches who sang backing vocals on Walk on the Wildside and Roll away the stone) releasing a couple of singles themselves in the 70s. One of them was draculas Daughter. Bet you can't find it.

"Hurrawreer my guid man, can ye tell me where I can find a wee boat? I want tae buy it tae sail through the canal and on up the west coast"


"I'm a street sweeper," came the cheerful rejoinder, "not a ** yacht broker and if that nag * in the road again I'll give it my broom surprise."

#83 that's the next scene, where the sun comes oot and the damsel introduces herself. We need scriptwriter input here...

#86
What you need is someone to write a Phantom of the Opera-type score for your horror flm DC.
Now who do we know....

#79
Supported by Duran Duran, Norrie. Quite a bill.

#84 Lunsey de Paul was involved with them I'm sure...

#65,Even when she was alive Nico sounded like a voice from beyond the grave!When I'm in macabre mode I'll hide behind the couch and play"The End"where she turns Jim Morrison's Eodipal scream into what sounds like the death rattle of 10000 tapeworms being electrocuted.On a lighter note how about some Voodoo magic in the shapeshifting form of Doctor John and "Walk on Gilded Splinters"or Nina Simone sticking pins God knows where and sounding deeply malevolent on "I Put A Spell on You"Cheers Willie Bartke

"I'm a street sweeper," came the cheerful rejoinder, "not a ** yacht broker and if that nag * in the road again I'll give it my broom surprise."

Bryan sighed.

"Move on Morrisey", he said to his horse, "let's head down the docks. It seems people have no Dignity about here".

In a close, 'Senga', a lady of the night, watched as the horse took its rider down the hill................

(music - Bad Moon Rising - CCR)




to be continued......

Oops,should of course be Oedipal (sorry mummy).Speaking of Psycho ,Bernard Hermann's unforgettable score is being played live soon at the City Hall as the film is running.I was watching Dario Argento's wild horror masterpiece "Suspiria"recently and was amazed at the incredible score by Italian band "Goblin".Got to be seen and heard to be believed,Cheers,Willie Bartke

"Hello, big boy," she offered. "You'll have had your oats."

Morrissey continued munching a bunch of gladiolii and breaking wind loudly.

"If you're looking for smack dealers, you've come to the right place."

Music: Crystal Ship - The Doors

So there's no excuse whatsoever for not playing Tubular Bells tonight, even if it's only in the montage.

#59

I'll see your Bad Things and raise you a
* Crooked Still - Ain't No Grave (Gonna hold my body down)
but will very happily take the Tom Jones version from Praise and Blame or Johnny Cash's one with the rattling chains.

Also:

* Michael Andrews / Gary Jules - Mad World
Donnie Darko severely freaked me out inside the 1st 5 minutes.

Another obvious one.

NECESSARY EVIL from YES, VIRGINIA…. by THE DRESDEN DOLLS featuring AMANDA FLIPPING PALMER who is appearing at THE ARCHES on Friday night.

"Move on Morrisey", he said to his horse, "let's head down the docks.
It seems people have no Dignity about here".

In a close, 'Senga', a lady of the night, accompanied by her big black
greyhound dug called Bob, watched as the horse took its rider down the
hill................

(music - Bad Moon Rising - CCR)

"Hello, big boy," she offered. "You'll have had your oats."

Morrissey continued munching a bunch of gladiolii and breaking wind
loudly.

"If you're looking for smack dealers, you've come to the right place."

(Music: Crystal Ship - The Doors)

There was a thud.

Senga thanked Morrisey. "That will get the roses growing".

That special moment was spoiled when a tanned, (allegedly good looking)
chap appeared. Onto his grotesque, over-sized, hand-knitted mankini was
embroidered Edvard Munch's "The Scream".

Over the road, Tubular Bells began to play........

Just then the sky lit up, there was a crash of thunder followed by a bloodcurdling scream.
'don't worry about that' Senga told our weary traveller, 'that's just Kate. Dunno what has got into her these days. The slightest hint of lightning and she just loses it'
In the background the strains of howling wolfs smokestack lightning could be heard.

bit of a strange one but kinda gets it by the title of the song and the band heh, You're A Wolf by Sea Wolf

some others maybe

Ghost Town by The Specials
Cry Little Sister (Theme From The Lost Boys) by Gerard McMann

Iain in Inverness

Just had another thought from the soundtrack of 28 days later the amazingly creepy In The House - In A Heartbeat composed by John Murphy a song that when watching the film makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up on end.

Goal?
