I'm tempted to put in just the one shout on 'one' night.... but what the hell..

Cars - The Leisure Society

One of my favourite cover versions of all time. Features in episode two.I think if you are going to make a cover version, then you have to bring some degree of differentiation to it - another way of hearing it - otherwise, what's the point?

This could hardly be further away from the Gary Numan original if it tried. It would also be good to hear the band on GIO, their writer, Nick Hemming, is, imho, the both the best writer of melody and the best lyricist in the uk.

Tonight's Beatles suggestion: ( I'd thought about 'Yesterday' but its been done to death, unless it's the fabby Mccartney version on Give My Regards To Broad Street)

Blackbird - The Beatles
or, epic cover..
Taxman - Little Junior Parker

Tonight's Mccartney suggestions:

Wunderlust - Paul Mccartney.. beautiful composition, great brass band.


tonight's Nitin Sawhney suggestion

Sunset - Nitin Sawhney Now, that's what i call 'World Fusion'!

some others...

One - Johnny Cash

Umbrella - Manic Street Preachers

Loser - Beck

Chance - Big Country

Jammin - Bob Marley

Patches -Clarence Carter

Surrender - Diana Ross

Burlesque - Family

Honeychild -Eddie Reader

that'll do...

regardez youse

henri

some Celtic Punk would round the week off nicely + get everyone's 'ol toes tappin'

'Chip' ~~ The Real McKenzies

#5

Everlong is not a word. They just made that up! However, in the spirit of magnanimity for which I am justly famed, I'll let you keep it if you rubber stamp Ananinginaneana.

oh well DC, great minds think alike... I'll change my Beatles shout....

Wait - The Beatles rarely played classic, a real lennon- mccartney collaboration.

delete 'Chance - Big Country'

regardez youse

henri

'Wires' ~~ Athlete
'Spill' ~~ Be Your Own Pet
'Devil' ~~ Beast
'Evacuate' ~~ The Boxer Rebellion

... sorted ...

'Success' - Iggy Pop (with David Bowie echoing him?)...you'll be able to fade it before the swearie!

'Special' - Garbage (fab song with a wee snippet of 'Talk of the town' chucked in for free...this should be requested at least as often as their others)

'Pink' - my favourite Aerosmith song

'Lily' - Pink Martini (go on, give them another play)

'Civilians' - Wye Oak

(see photie)

Badge - The Jeff Healey Band
Nightporter - Japan
Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin

Mathilda - The Fabulous Thunderbirds
Sonny - The Robert Cray Band

These are sursprisingly similar!

'Elvira' - Oak Ridge Boys

Where's GlenEric when you need him? I'm sure he could write a story with all the single words posted here.

#9 are you referring to #6?

An ingin ane an a' should have been asked for on Monday. Youcannaecoont



DC

#20

Aye, #9 does refer to #6, as fine weel ye kain!

To paraphrase a pedantic pedant, skilled in the arts of pedantry;

"Would you get any points in Scrabble for Everlong?"

Ìý
...and another thing!

If you cannot see that ananinginaneana is one word, (you can never go to Dundee again), I have only one response.


AWAYANBILEYERHEID!

>8-D

#21 - Try googling.

Aninginaneana = 9 results
Everlong = 3.49 million

(pe)D(anti)C(s r us)

If you need time to formulate a response, hae a wee look at this.

Downtown - Petula Clark

Home - Daughtry (Acoustic version if possible, lends itself to the song)

An that concludes the ferry jury for the noo.
Al.

Ìý

Bryan & Babs know that ananinginaneana is one word. And if Babs isn't sure, Bryan will get her telt!

Superglue / Aerials up

'Lua' - the version by Conor Oberst with Gillian Welch from the 'Dark is the Night' compilation, preferably, but the Bright Eyes one will do! Not sure what it's all about, but a it's a cracking, moving wee song.

#38

The Paul Brady song is called The Island

Blame the Word Police.

If I have to suffer, everyone can suffer.

>8-D

CAPTION COMP

'Good Morning, listeners. Today we are fortunate enough to have a guest speaker who will be talking about how the gentlemen may fill their spare time while waiting for the lady of the house to prepare dinner.

Welcome to the ´óÏó´«Ã½, Mr Pablo. What hobbies are you going to discuss today?'

'Well today I thought we could investigate how many hours of spare time may be happily filled looking up different song-titles to see if they have 'the' in them.'

'Sounds fascinating, Mr Pablo, over to you.'

#24

A-ha! I see that next Friday
Is deemed as National Poetry Day
D'you think all blog requests should be
Like Rupert the Bear tag lines? Let's see!

DC

I pressed the button 'post comment',
And saw that my blog had been sent
But realised then, only too late,
It's THURSDAY, stupid me, wrong date!

#42 I may be gone sometime. This is proving quite a task.

Why arent all my cds in alphabetical order.

Wish I had Norries OCD






Or should that be CDO

Is the guy in the photo Bryan's dad?

#46 Alphabetical order and then in year of release within that grouping Paolo.

Either version of this would be fantastic, I thought k d lang version was superb so might worth a wee outing:

*k d lang / talking heads - Heaven*

i even put wee * to draw attention to this suggestion

'pray'......................sam cooke

'him'......................lily allen.

peace be with ya brethern and cistern

cheers frae the dale

Idaho - Nerina Pallot

Lovely song from a criminally under rated artist, she's playing in Glasgow this Sunday but I can't make it. Saw her at Tut's a couple of years ago and she was outstanding.
She also does a cover of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' which I thought wouldn't work, I was wrong, superb.

Al.

K Tel has just the thing Paolo.

While the Word Police are on patrol, perhaps they can tell me what happened to the "of" in "to get rid of". eg "Tevez? Man City should get rid now."

#30 Big second for Django.

Paolo's Leo Sayer and Rainbow requests this week made me think there might be a theme here:

"Best Song They Ever Did"

Should prompt debate and, in theory, make for an excellent show.




Leo Sayer and Rainbow in the same sentence - could be a first.

"Constellation" - Darwin Deez

Not just for Space night.

And neither is...


"Yuri" - Oi Va Voi

'Imitosis' - Andrew Bird

#80 It's behind you............



Now with regards to "google it", I did exactly that. I'm afraid you'll have to be mire specific because the answer is:



25,270,000,000 results

Mire? You been at my keubiard Mirroe?

#90

That's a suspiciously round number.

Cut & pasted. Honest.
