The blog supporters congregated behind the goal were getting more and more frustrated at the lack of recent goalmouth action

#29 I've been considering a 5 a day fruit based submission for Monday & am looking to include A "Passion" Play, whatcha reckon?

In addition to this I've got
Little Green Apples ~ Old Blue Eyes
Black Cherry ~ Goldfrapp
Orange Crush ~ REM
& The Tra La La Song
Incidentally "Goldfrapp" gave me a Blockbusters Gold-Run type theme idea,
too much Phenylephrine Hydrochloride ain't necessarily a good thing 8-0

The Ultimate Pop song? Well, it;s mine anyway. I don't think they have it though - I 've requested it once before, but to no avail.

Heartache Ave - The Maisonettes

And the classic piece of social commentary that is:

No Fish Today - Kid Creole & The Coconuts

There must be zillions of others, but that'll do for starters..

Graham Parker - 'I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down'

Good luck with T. Smithereens.. it'll be as successful as 9 Below Zero were in the past ;-(

Bryan, it's high time you played some Loudon Wainwright - you remember - New York's answer to Michael Marra; "House" from his "Songs for the New Depression" is a great song about the trials and tribulations of life in the 21st century. Please play it for Mag and Jane.
Fraser from Minnigaff

#55 I saw them at the Reading Festival in 1976 (when it used to be worth going to). Incidentally, despite what you may have read elsewhere, this was the first anniversary of the the term 鈥淲ally鈥�. At the festival in 1975, after all the bands had finished, the campfires were dwindling and most people were partied out, a young lad who had apparently been separated from his mate, was heard wandering around the campsite shouting 鈥淲ally!鈥� In order to help him several of us joined in with this shout and it was soon to be heard all over the campsite. I suspect that this was actually no help at all. The cry was not heard again until 1976 when one of my mates shouted it out to see if anyone remembered it. Sure enough, the cry was soon heard throughout the campsite from 1975 returnees who remembered being kept awake that night. 鈥淲ally鈥� then went on to be heard at festivals throughout the land. So the true meaning of the word wally is someone who is lost and can鈥檛 find his mate. Sorry it鈥檚 not a more interesting story, but I relate it to end the speculation of its origin. I have heard various other versions, but mine is fact. I can't think why anyone would want to know this.

#yeah, very interesting

Don't take the brown acid, man! - aw, too late.
