BRING ME THE SOFA BED OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

THURSDAY


I'll be listening to the show (on the couch) with Airy Mary fae the Gorbals.

(Not to be confused wi' Hairy Mary fae the Gorbals, immortalised in song by Hamish Imlach).

We want to hear

In Every Dream Home a Heartache - Roxy Music

If Johnnie Walker can play it on a Sunday afternoon, our beloved presenter can play it on a Thursday evening.



Now, where did I put that bicycle pump?

Apologies in short supply it seems. Unless 'kerfuffle' means 'sorry' of course.

Never mind, should be a bumper night for the bloggers tomorrow to make up, eh?

on the couch:

Psychiatric Explorations - The Flaming Lips

I heard you let her down last week.

oh sorry, maybe I misunderstood again

what could be more relaxing than

Liquid Peaceful Shell - The Unwinding Hours

or

Calgary - Bon Iver

#3

As we all know, there's no room for flexibility in these themes - even if it means the public humiliation of the presenter. Rules are rules.

#5 refers to #3

the other posts are just hot air

This worked last Saturday evening.. Overpowered By Funk by The Clash please.

I'm a Dreamer - Sandy Denny

"....get lost in something long and interesting?"

Hampton Court Maze?

'The Moon's A Harsh Mistress' - Jimmy Webb...beautiful...simple as that!

'I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love with You' - Juliet Turner with Brian Kennedy

'Finally' - Cherry Ghost

'You Are What You Love' - Jenny Lewis (from Rilo Kiley), with the Watson Twins

'Dont Get Hung Up In Your Soul' - Richard Hawley...a musical saw is very soothing!

'Spanish Sahara' - Foals (The Daughter loves this...and so do I...it livens up towards the end but that just saves you from falling asleep and wasting an evening)

Pink Martini: 'Autrefois' or 'Clementine'

Buddy Guy - 'Feels Like Rain'

听
Whoops! A musical saw is very dangerous. Poor Mary...
















I salute her deflatability!

THURSDAY


Change of plan...

Lady - Kenny Rogers



Lionel Richie intends to record a Country album. He should write the songs and get Kenny to sing them.

What the.. I never seen Rab C in my Kirk before!

or I might decide was time to listen to something new

Falter Discover - This Silent Forest

Looks like an evening of musical Valium

听
Why do you say that as if it's a bad thing?

>8-D

#18 don't be ridiculous, just wait till we get started on the manicure

Tift Merrit - Mille Tendresses

Boz Scaggs - We're All Alone

I rest my case

Is curling up on the sofa like when the proclaimers come on and you try and cover your ears with your hands and knees?

Spanish dancer / Patti Scialfa
A letter to myself / chi lites
Sierra / Boz Scaggs
How much i feel / ambrosia
Weve got tonight (live) / bob seger

i prefer to stretch oot (curlin' up is a woman thing!) with everybody oot the room so i can read the paper in peace. i'll usually start wi' the back of the sport section which is usually funny then digress onto the letters page (moderate success) before havin' a look at the obituaries (no mine....reports of my demise etc etc ha ha ) with a preference for politicos and sporst people but no' rappers.then i'll have a look at how greece is getting on (no very good, usually) then have a look to see if clegg has said anything useful (never, ha ha ) then have a look to see if miliba..(ha ha never...get a grip son) then i'll have a look at the silent flicker in the corner to see what colour of socks/tie jon snow is wearin' and all the while will be sipping strong (non cortado or sugar) coffe from the wee moka and finally just when i've found something useful cameron has said ( ha ha just jokin')....i hear a door creak open and feet descending the stairs..........so i have to turn off the cd i was listening to......

'illusions of bliss'..................sarah mclachlan

#26

She went off lie a rocket. Flew right oot the windae'.




























Just as well she was wearing her uniform.......

(curlin' up is a woman thing!)


Some of us are in touch with our feminine side.

























Now, where did I put that Sex and the City box set?

#8
Bry / Florian - whits with all the name changes Mac? Is it a metro sex thing?

Mind you, I hear Scotch is changing to Puff Daddy and he's definitely old school.


Thought we would have had a few

Sofa Away From Me

and

Couch A Falling Star

by now.

Missed the 'kerfuffle' last night as I was away to the Voodoo Rooms to see the wonderful Amy LaVere, band were great.

Red Banks / Amy LaVere - best described as 'a gothic murder love ballad'

or

Sleeping on the Foldout / Brad Paisley

Al

Fantastic cover of the already truly relaxing Bad Company song.
Please play

Seagull / Joe Bonamassa

Al.

No couch beats a rocking chair for comfort and relaxation. I therefore suggest:

Paddy McGinty's Goat by that great crooning, soothing Irish rocker, Val Doonican. He even looks cozy in his Arran pattern cardigan.



Unfortunately there's no rest for me tonight as I will be working late, but I'd like to dedicate this song to all of my fellow bloggers. Enjoy!



DC

#28

I hope we can look forward to seeing a collection of these Joycean soliloquies in the better bookshops in due course.

#35

........and her permanently surprised expression.

#40

Aran

"Talking In Your Sleep" - The Romantics

Ahhhh the 80s! Was there a better decade for men's hair?
I dont think so.

#41depends whether or not he bought it here:





Other Scottish Islands produce knitwear

SOFA #1 from YOU CAN鈥橳 DO THAT ON STAGE ANYMORE VOLUME 1 by FRANK ZAPPA

SOFA #2 from YOU CAN鈥橳 DO THAT ON STAGE ANYMORE VOLUME 1 by FRANK ZAPPA

#37 I seldom benefit from the cosy couch experience (reckon its a girls thing) apart from #8 which was true.

Many an occasion she's spread-eagled making all kinds of demands & I'm perched at the opposite end of the Stressless pretending to be enjoying myself... Boredom by the Buzzcocks ;-)

Nothing better than sitting down listening to some Air on my headphones while I am reading a good book so with that said.

You Make It Easy - Air

Alternatively

New Slang - The Shins
In The Waiting Line - Zero 7

Both great songs for just sitting back relaxing with a good book and a nice cuppa Earl Grey.

Suggestion and perhaps an idea for DC when he's workin late...

I Need A Breather - Darryl Worley

Al.

Think ah'm done with the sofa......

Outside / George Michael

Al.

And relax:

Steven Lindsay - Kite

The National - Conversation 16

Captain Beefheart - My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains

Theresa May joke.

"Kock knock"
"Come in"

oops

Totally chillout but a bit different.......aw naw! I hear you cry....

Trust me it is a superb piece of music that relaxes then lifts you

Now We Are Free - Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard (From the Gladiator OST)

Al.

Am stay here

#43

Let's ask him. Do you think they'd do one with his initials?

#31 and #34
Ha! last song on bath night!
I must have been washing the shampoo out my ears.

#39 yes GIO, please do


Slidin' Delta - Hans Theesink - this reminds me of a theme idea, daresay we've already done it, but songs that turned you on to a particular band/singer.

Don't be Afraid of the Dark - Robert Cray

Sofa Away by Carole King
Hanky Panky by K D Lang And The Recliners

Lemon Tree Herb Alpert ( Theirvery Corp Remix from 'Versions) If you can locate this it's wroth a spin, captures the mood of the theme perfectly.
