No waltzes, then; despite the strapline...

Thunder Road.

I know I know.....but it fits!!!!

MONDAY



I predict a Mutiny on the Blog if Freebird is played again. Try this one instead.

Was I Right or Wrong? - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Another chance to request Donna Summer. How she reminds me of my mother on this track:

Dim All The Lights - Donna Summer from the magnificent Bad Girls album.

It starts slow and then Donna lets us have the long note with the rising disco beat - this is so reminicent of my mother's call to action in the morning - holding that long note as she banged on her tabla, it almost bring tears to my eyes.

Nah, I'm fine wi' Freebird.

Any danger of Spinal Tap - Stonehenge, though?

Come on now bloggers. Let's grab Bryan's opening.

MONDAY





Rock 'n' Roll Suicide - David Bowie

- Randy Newman - See Norrie in the opening shot

You Never Give Me Your Money - the Beatles

Apple lurches from crisis to crisis, disintegration in the boardroom, the band begins to implode - Paul pours it all into this track, a fitting swansong and fantatstic bass playing - a minor miracle from the back section of Abbey Road.

aye it was a good show the night.
however.
deux chanson des francais.
the scott walker that never was would probably have had yer great aunt spluttering out her T so its just as well it was in the original tongue....unless yer great auntie is french.

cheers frae the dale

Can't Get Enough Of Your Love - Barry White

the Walrus of Lurve on fine form, Disco does a lot of that, start slow, build, go for it.

like.... Love Hangover - Diana Ross etc etc...

Nat King Cole?

#8 scarily close to the truth!!!!

#14 @ ya hh.................wiz a merry ol' soul

cheers frae the dale

back on the campaigns...

Second Song - TV On The Radio

definately on theme - this will cheer our small nation up Bryan...

The Hungry Years - The Leisure Society

magnificent last two minutes... a trait of the band to have fabby endings.

and on the 'quick quick slow'

Taste The Coast - Admiral Fallow

"It's no life watching old outakes, deleted scenes from your favourite show"... quite right, better off blogging.

regardez youse

henri

Going minimalist and hermit like - not quite hibernating, but close enough.

henri - I see your Donna Summer and raise it with Barbara Streisand. Or whatever the correct poker terminology is.
DS & BS No More Tears (Enough is Enough)

Leaving the Led Zep Stairway and Dexy's Eileen out because all of them are obvious,
and..... aye. Oh - there is that Daftpunk one, but I've heard enough of that in my house already. so.
;o)

fairly subtle tempo shift...'Mis-Shapes' by Pulp

Fix You - Coldplay

Starts of slow with just Chris Martin singing and the organ as musical backing on a very slow burn into verse 2 and the chorus then builds up to that lovely moment where the guitar is introduced and they start building to a cresendo. Perhaps to my mind one of Coldplays best songs.

Del Shannon - 'Hats Off To larry

Hmm what Daft Punk one are you thinking off mary-doll I am scratching my head trying to think which one but can't come up with it.

Another song that fit's the theme I think would be.

New Born - Muse

#12

Are you going for Gouda from the Dairy of Anne Frank?

#23


Anything by "Emmental As Anything" would be good then.

Or Edam and the Ants

Sweet Gene Vincent - Ian Dury & The Blockheads

'Sometime Around Midnight' ~~ Airborne Toxic Event

if it doesn't slip in effortlessly I'm gonna let it drop ... shame really ...

Janice Forsyth is definately reading this blog.

#27 well it would be a shame as it's a darned good tune - count me in for Airborne Toxic Event

#28 Hullo Auntie J!

#13
Klaxon for Born Slippy - it's the same *speed* all the way through, but lack of drums at the start hides the fact. I suspect a lot of potential tracks will fall foul of this (She Sells Sanctuary, I'm In Love with a German Film Star, Nelson Mandela to name but three).

Actually, Born Slippy's a really *slow* track - it really is as slow as it appears at the start, but lots of drum notes to the beat really hides it.


#12
+1 for Eloise

And adding:
* The Shadows - Classical Gas
* Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover (another guitar hero track)
* Led Zep - Nobody's Fault But Mine (2mins shorter than Stairway)
* Ewan McGregor - Your Song (from the Moulin Rouge OST)
* Nicole Kidman - Sparkling Diamonds (Mouline Rouge again - a *very* short slow bit, mind!)

and anyone's version of I've Been Everywhere. Just for a giggle, can we have Rolf Harris' UK version?

Rudy - Supertramp

#30

Non comprende: when the drums come in, for the 2nd time, the BPS increases?

The obvious song (apart from the abZorbant Mighty Quinn dance) is:

Beep Beep - The Playmates - Its minor key belies the lighthearted content

#24

By coincidence there was an Anne Frank exhibition at the Burrell today which provided some food for thought.

#30 I was thinking that, Capt and I'm fairly sure that any I suggest may well fall foul since I'm not knowledgeable enough to sort out the genuine ones.

Bend Me, Shape Me - The Mindbenders

is OK - it's hardly a favourite song though!

If anyone can find a reason to disqualify Freebird I'd be much obliged

Mindbenders? Must be mine that's out of shape

Amen Corner

Oh for heaven's sake, delete the last two

Bend It - Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mich & Tich

I need a holiday

Cowboy Song - Thin Lizzy

Great shout Steve!


Music - John Miles

- The Motors

#38 Cheers Adam, I can't believe that Jailbreak is 35 years old.

Telegraph Road (Live) - Dire Straits

Slow Train - Joe Bonamassa

'Come Alive' ~~ Foo Fighters

MONDAY


Slow, quiet intro. So quiet, you'll turn the volume up to 11. Then, 1:22 in, your ears will be massaged by the shuffling madness of theÌý

Ìý - Jethro Tull

Bryan has been burstin' for an excuse to play this...

#34, #35

Gaie,

Sidney Poitier dances like a drunken white git...

Ìý
Pure riddy, man!

Vote for Senga, Scotland's next Susan Boyle!!

ps, X-factor's on downstairs, some burd just sang a note that had me run for cover

The Daughter went to V Festival this year. First time away at a festival. Didn't hear much from her...understandable...wasn't concerned.

On the Saturday night she phoned me...didn't say a thing...all I could hear was this...

Eminem - 'Lose Youself'...

daresay most bloggers wouldn't agree if their children did that for them but I loved it...I think I have the best daughter ever!

MONDAY



Ìý - Sensational Alex Harvey Band


No sudden change of tempo; it just gets quicker and quicker.

Ah blame the drummer...


>8-D

#57
And your point is caller?

This gradually gets faster then slows down again...

The Coasters - 'Down In Mexico'

#59

Ah blame the drummer...

Right... Thats enough

Sticks and stones...


>8-D

Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
MacArthur Park - Richard Harris

Julie, yer Pink Martini do a good version of "Aquarela do Brasil" which would fit this theme.


#63
Welcome back ST!

#51

A star is born

#63

I've always thought MacArthur Park was a great record

- Hot Tuna

maybe it does, maybe it's just a lot of extra notes, haven't a scooby, it certainly wouldn't get played anyway so enjoy!

#65

Oh, for Pete's sake! Don't rain on my parade...

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Honestly this is such a great track and spot on the theme:


Patti Smith - Free Money

This is a great song and just about on theme:

Roy Orbison - In Dreams

This is great but a cheat for the theme:

Jackson Browne - The Load Out / Stay

Monday

Starts slow gets fast slows down gets fast again

Silver Star / Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons

#'51 and #54
She gets my vote.

However I would take her out of the groups category and reaudition her as a soloist since her singing companion seems to be there on looks rather than talent.

#66

Hot Tuna are one of my favourites. shows their versatility. Jorma's guitar tugs at the heartstrings.

#68
Doesnt matter if its right on, just about or a cheat - one of them will get the nod!

#70
I have voluntarily stepped down and am now looking after her professional interests. I have just this morning got her on Moshi Monsters.

#63

Good to have you back, Space Truckin'.

Stick with it.

#72

You'd be doing her more of a favour by getting her off the Monster Munch.

Ìý
Are you sayin' I'm fat?!?

#72 that's nice of you to say so Adam. All good tracks!

#75

Content yourself in the knowledge that looks don't last - it's what's inside that counts. l

Ìý
You must think I'm Dolly. Hello!

Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin

The State I'm In - Belle & Sebastian

Where It's At - Beck

How Can I Be Sure - Dusty Springfield

The Captain might have to adjudicate on the BPM for the above. I accept it cant can be difficult to appreciate the difference between starting quietly and adding complexity but not pace and music which changes tempo. Dusty seems to gather pace by the time the orchestra gets going.

One track which has several timing changes - and which I think is the whole whold in two and a half minutes is Tickets To Waterfalls - Jack Bruce...Umpteeth request... Pigs really will fly..pity


regardez youse

henri

Oh and...

Hyper Worm Tamer - Grinderman & U.N.K.L.E.

This is completely mental.And very good fun.And has a number of subtle timing changes. Epic stuff.

regardez youse

... 68 ...

absolutely right Norrie ... 'Free Money' seconded

Another seamless offer would be 'Gloria', by Patti Smith also.

C'mon GIO jury ... release the GIO shackles from Patti S. ... she's long overdue

and...

Back It Up - Caro Emerald

Perfect Word - k d lang

Born Of Frustration - James

Poring Water On A Drowing Man - James Carr

and the delicious,

Knocks Me Off My Feet - Stevie Wonder

....that'll do

regardez - vous

#71 it was your good friend Glen, who put me on to Hot Tuna - love them.

so if the singing career doesn't take off you're going into teaching?

I'm on Moshi Monsters! Who has time for singing? Or teaching?


P.S. Imelda. Put the wig down! Step away from the wig!
