or

Love Story - Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Here are Next Week's Themes.

They must be keeping Friday free for DC's birthday...

It simply has to be:

Celluloid Heros - the Kinks

For a group that were at the heart of the sixties 'revolution' the thing that they did best was affectionate sentimentality - glorfying the status quo, not overhauling it. Waterloo Sunset, Autumn Almanac, Come Dancing and many others,all revere the English way of life.


This song broadens the scope to the movies - almost everyone who is anyone from Hollywood's most glamourous and silent period gets a mention.

Must be a serious contender for tonight.

You Can't Do That,.. I've Just Seen A Face,..The Fool On The Hill,..Hey Bulldog,... and I've Got A Feeling

it would be nice to continue a growing trend on GIO of playing less obvious Beatles numbers. I was gobsmacked the other night when we had another 'Rocky Raccoon' moment. Someone texted in, anxious to identify the track they'd just heard: 'She Came In Through The Bathroom Window'.

Because I grew up with it, I just asume everyone knows it backwards and takes this incredible canon of work for granted the way I do....education..education ..education...:-))

#35 great track Bry many thanks!

#47, #52

Repeat themes are bad enough.......


>8-D

#51 @ ya hh....................

exactly my point, sir.
what i find concerning (seriously) about the following generation(s) is the lack of place, time, generally a lack of historical context of what is happening round about them.
and it does manifest itself in enquiries like the one you mention.
but we live in uncertain times and i find analysis of the current zeitgiest goes little deeper than the last episode of 'hollyoaks' or 'bb' (the other one).
having just returned from a reflective trip to amsterdam there are far too many echos bouncing around for my liking.

cheers frae the dale

#49 etc

Them - Don't Look Back

David Lindley El Rayo X - Dont't Look Back

Bowie - Velvet Goldmine

#51 @ ya Henri
I blame the Government for a dumber population as something that is desired by the elite? The anti-capitalist protesters do have a sound moral case.
A certain madman once said 鈥淗ow fortunate for the leaders that men do not think.鈥� An educated listenership knows its rights, understands the issues and takes action when it does not approve of what is getting on. I just wish the principal was more widely applied than just to the Fab Four.

"They still prefer sheep to thinking men, but men who think like sheep are even better."

Johnnie Walker's Sounds of the 70s was particularly good today. One song on the playlist does, however, prompt a question...

If Johnnie Walker can play In Every Dream Home a Heartache on a Sunday afternoon show on 大象传媒 Radio2, why can't our beloved presenter play In Every Dream Home a Heartache on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday evening show on 大象传媒 Radio Scotland?

We should be telt!


>8-D

You mean like sheeple, people that follow blindly and never question their leaders?

#67 @ ya ScotMac

I caught it too and you're spot on.. B.T.W. where's R.J?

Gong's rib scenes...

#68

'The World Turned Dayglo' ~~ X-Ray Spex

'The Magnificent Seven' ~~ The Clash
'Red Shoes' ~~ Elvis Costello & T. Attractions
'Mrs Robinson' ~~ Frank Sinatra
'That's Entertainment' ~~ The Jam

I'll go t'foot of our stairs!

Pulp - 'Bad Cover Version (Planet' of the apes, Tom and Jerry)

Magazine - Philadelphia

New Order - Thieves Like Us

Landscape - Norman Bates

Pearl Jam - Alive

Rush - Tom Sawyer

John Stewart - Gold

The Island: Paul Brady
Motherland: Natalie Merchant
The Man In The Iron Mask: Billy Bragg
The River: Audra Mae

'The Quest' - Bryn Christopher (great song - very talented singer...did a cracking performance on the saturday Night Fever Electric Proms a few years ago...not heard anything about him since)...Van Damme film.

Pink Martini - 'Lily' (Lili starring Leslie Caron)

'Only You' - The Platters (but I have a fondness for Ringo Starr's delightfully off-key version)...Film starring Mariasa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr

'Behind The Mask' - Eric Clapton (The Mask - Jim Carey, Mask - Cher, Eric Stoltz)

'My Own Private Idaho': B-52s - 'Private idaho'

In Dreams' - Roy Orbison (Annette Bening, Robert Downey Junior)

'One Fine Day - The Chiffons (Pfeiffer + Clooney)

'Corrina Corrina' - Ted Hawkins (Whoopi Goldberg, Ray Liotta)

Now this guy is under-rated and rarely gets a spin...

The Invisible Man: Darrell Scott

'Shiver Me Timbers' - Tom Waits (1934 film starring...Popeye!)

#67

It's not because the song is about a man's obsession/love of a latex doll - (though there may be a deeper meaning about the correlation between increased material wealth and increased remoteness from the norms of society i.e. it's a song about being lonely at the top - or on top) but the fact that it's very slow and several minutes long and doesn't pass the drive-time 'pop-ability' test.

If our hero was on Sunday afternoons - he'd definitely play it whereas Robbie Sheppard might be tempted but being genre specific, it's out of the question. Mind you, it's an interesting thing to speculate on: I'd love to hear Robbie Sheppard introduce it, even if he didn't play it.....

Discuss?

"Bad Company" - Bad Company

Should have thought of this one sooner, brilliant 70s scifi

Silent Running / Mike & The Mechanics

Al.

Young Guns / Wham!

Al.

What's New Pussycat / Big Tam

Someone To Watch Over Me / Ella

Al.

JOHN WAYNE from PIECE BY PIECE by JOHN MARTYN

PETER LORRE by THE JAZZ BUTCHER CONSPIRACY

DECADENCE from BANANAMOUR by KEVIN AYERS (Marlene Dietrich)

'Endless Art' by A House is pretty much just a listing of umpteen mostly artists and musicians with their years of birth and death, spoken over a backing of guitar and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony...Toulouse-Lautrec ('Lautrec' -1998 film), film-makers Man Ray and Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock ('Pollock' starring Ed Harris) and that well-known actor...Mickey Mouse!)

It's surprisingly listenable

After Hours - VU
Fallen - Ron Sexsmith
Sin City - Flying BBs
Munich - Editors

OK, cheatin a wee bit as the film was a documentary of the festival.
Still think it worthy of consideration though, Joni Mitchells birthday today too so that'd be a nice touch.

Woodstock / Matthews Southern Comfort

'9 1/2 Weeks'
BRYAN FERRY 'Slave To Love'

'Legend'
BRYAN FERRY 'Is Your Love Strong Enough?'

Surprised that Henri hasn't already requested this:

The Leisure Society - Cars

#90

Surprisingly listenable?

Have you considered a career in sales?

#94

Well, I delivered my beautifully packaged Leisure Society CD's to GIO, requested a few tracks, most especially 'Cars' but, zilch.

It would be great to hear, I just presume everyone's under the cosh in there and don't have time to listen properly - it's tougher to champion an artist from the blog, I suspect.

But a huge 2nd for Cars - The Leisure Society

Our hero's twitter feed speaks of listening to 'broken records' 3 times on the trot, but I think, 'well, if you want to get into quality alt folk, you won't have to listen to the Leisure Society three times to get it'. Amazing lyrics, beautiful melodies, beautifully played, but perhaps no one's got time to be bothered, otherwise it beats me.

regardez - youse

Tequila Sunrise - The Eagles

Sea Of Love- Phil Phillips or Marty Wilde

I see you've all moved on to a new pitch and left me an open.....

GOAL!







Runs off for a Goal celly in front of empty stands!
