Lets hope so.

Space Junk ~ DEVO "Coming to a country near you!"

#7

good, here's a few howling at the moon records.

Blue Moon - Bob Dylan however unlikely, this is fabby.

Tubas In The Moonlight - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah band endlessly requested,never played.

The Moon Is Mine - Fairground Attraction with a career now focussed on other things it's easy to forget how great a singer Eddie is.

the Moonbeam Song - Harry Neilsson just lovely

Spanish Moon - Little Feat impossible to resist this, once heard, never forgotten

Moonrise - Nitin Sawhney beautiful samba stuff, Adam

and now: reasons to love Paul Mccartney No 38: the loony vocals on

Monkberry Moon Delight - Paul McCartney

Mojo says " Paul reaches a career high in soulful, screeching nonsence on the Ram album's delicious obscurity." If you thought 1985 sounded different, hear this.

that'll do

This has to be the least inspiring start to a new year I have ever encountered. Nothing to do with the show, nor the blog. It's a tribute to a very dear pal. She will hopefully be listening. For Clare:
James She's a star

The stars won't come out when they know that you're about....


For frank

You don't have to be a star (to be on my show) / Marilyn mcCoo and Billy Davis Jnr

merci mate - message received. Loud and clear. Over and out.

Point of order M-D, you can't put the transmission "over and out". It's either over (in which case you wait for response) or out (you finish the transmission).

Ask yer man, he'll kain.

#11

Not my favorite song for that ..

For Monday

Edwin Starr --- S.O.S. Stop her on Sight


The Parisians --- Twinkle little Star (A bit of Northern for Henri)

#15 what a great idea Frank. Time to start a campsign to get the slosh into the commonwealth games

when you live on an island with the nearest tesco (as if ...) is 5 hours and maybe 2 days away one has to construct ones own entertainment and diversions.
one of the best comes under the category of 'posting a letter in the dead of night'.
with a post box three quarters of a mile away then a nightime sojourn with the dog is a pleasure.
especially if the sky is clear.
and the stars are out.i had never seen the milky way properly before living on an island.it's a sight to behold and to gaze at.
during this walk you may see on a bad night half a dozen shooting stars then another half dozen on the return walk.
the view of the planets also humbling.
one night i stepped into the garden looked up and saw the most incredible light formation i'de ever seen.............in the garden you have a 360 degree uninterrupted view and there were these shafts of light being thrown up from all 360 degrees converging at a point directly above.....it was like standing under some unexplained immense natural cathedral....i've only ever seen that once and i was awestruck and still am years later.
once sitting on the garden wall i saw what looked like a star zooming a bit too quickly over the south west sky....it wasn't a star, only the international space station....checking its trajectory i went out the next night and sure enough bang on schedule it passed overhead again. amazing.
the sky at night. its a real joy.

'swinging on a star'..................big dee irwin and little eva

'a bright star in cepheus'............cunningham/bain ( go on the nation needs a real treat)

'star'...................gerry rafferty

'under the milky way'...................the church

cheers frae the dale

Milky Way / Sheer Elegance

A 70s cheesy classic

''I also want to mention our Burns night show which is going to be a gathering at ´óÏó´«Ã½ HQ with free haggis and some great 'turns'. I do hope a few of our bloggers will come along and be part of it.''


Is there Drink?

Picture caption: Big John, Little

Talking about star attractions, who does Cox think he

BTW that back-drop those two are standing in front of, is that not the same one featured in the opening titles of nonsense?
I blame the cut-backs at the Beeb!

# 30

I thought I recognised it. I think you're right - maybe it's an elaborate cross sell - let's cash in on Dr Who?

New England - Kirsty McColl - for the lines 'I saw two shooting stars last night, I wished on them but they were only satellites'

#28 only if you do a turn

MONDAY

Folding Stars - Biffy Clyro

there are two versions - try the acoustic one for something a wee bit different from them

Stars Come Out ~ Kelvin Harris
We Are All Made Of Stars ~ Moby












Then there’s always ~ Rammstein!

Ìý
Our Lady of the Shooting Stars - Mary Gauthier

;o)

MONDAY



A wee bit tenuous, maybe...

• 
  
  Second star on the right
  
  Straight on 'til morning.
  
  
  When you wish upon a star,
  
  Makes no difference who you are.
  
  When you wish upon a star,
  
  Your dreams come true.
  
  

D'you think he'll play Venus in furs?

dC

Ìý
Q. What makes Venus different from all other planets in our solar system?

Okay I'll play... You've Got Your Head On Backwards ~ T. Sonics

Ìý
You Spin Me Right Round - Billy Idol


;o)

I don't get it

#38 as opposed to uranus?

Ìý
Is uranus one of the gas giants?

Have you noticed that Uranus always seems to be the butt of astronomy jokes. Axis and axis rotation are very serious matters, just ask Prof. Cox.

"Spacewalker" from Sounds Of The Universe ~ Depeche ModeÌý

Cox?

This blog has an increasing chance of moderation

Bit inconvenient of Burns to organise his supper for the same night as the Justin Currie gig......

New York Dolls -Lonely Planet Boy

Bowie - Moonage Daydream (2nds for Henris suggestions)

Andy White - Me The Moon My Car and You (honestly this is very brilliant and mentions tequila and bruce and cars and the moon all sorts of good things so should get played)

Cowboys Junkies - Blue Moon Revisisted

David Bowie - I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spaceship

Counting Crows - Recovering The Satellites

#46

I think it's a brave thing for the show to do.I instinctively wish to support it - I couldn't find the ticketing thing though.

I've spent years enduring Tam O'Shanter and all this drivel about the world's first socialist - annually,in a business capacity. So it would be nice to witness the GIO alternative.

I think the show should develop the idea though - it's been raised on the blog before but I'd love to go to something more pertinent to the show - a Leonard Cohen or Bob Dylan or John Lennon or Morrissey supper.

I knew a guy who attended a Leonard Cohen supper on Burns night and he said it was absolutely brilliant.

Maybe if the GIO Burns supper works well,Miss B and the team will be brave enough to expand the idea to songwriting 'Burns' suppers next year - matter of fact, why wait till next year - do it in the Spring?

regardez - youse

henri

#45. You'll be okay if you stick to the Prof. Apparently the Beeb's new Golden Boy of sciences is also a hit with the ladies. However, former That's Life co presenter Doc. Cox presents a completely different set of issues!

#48. I think there is merit to your idea but let's not diss Burns completely at the expense of past experience which I'll admit to having shared something similar over the years. Is there such a thing as an International Day of Songwriters?

We are all of us in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars

The Pretenders - Message of Love

Monday
The Sun,Moon,And The Stars-Nancy Griffith

#57

Gaie,

We were discussing an astronomical anomaly, i.e. on Venus the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.


Bum jokes indeed!

#49

There is only one


:o)

Tee Hee, whur's ma copy of Bras on 45?

I might be totally wrong (it has happened once before) but I get the impression the theme is stars and only stars. No satellites planets or anything else fleeing through space. I think the clue is in the phrase 'an all star line up '

Just sayin like so youse urny all rushin to amend your suggestions at ten past six ramorra .

#76

I'm going to see The Big Dish.. among others no doubt.

Knowing that relevant personal stories help, I was a bit annoyed on Friday that mine didn't even make it from the phone booth to the studio.

I was driving back to the old stomping ground of Dunbar to DJ a friend's 40th with a definite brief to focus on 88-92 and to flavour that with indie. Which all sounds like
* The Divine Comedy - At The Indie Disco
had just the right amount of nostalgia and contemporary references to get played.

What did I get announced on air: "Capt Ramius 'from Edinburgh' wants..."

Bah.

Still, the evening went brilliantly, and took me right back to those student days in Teviot and Potterrow Unions.

Right, onto tonight. Without such a useful story to hang my request on (cos I'm withholding Babylon Zoo in protest)

* Pink Floyd - Great Gig in the Sky
* The Hooters - Satellite
* Billy Bragg - My Flying Saucer
* Cranberries - Stars
* Echo and the Bunnymen - Killing Moon
* Symarip - Skinhead Moonstomp (from the early anti-racist days of Skinhead Rudeboys)

#79

Aye, its space Captain, but not as we know it....

See #63 in case ye think I'm giving ye a bum star.

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow


"Yellow" - Coldplay

top tune

#81 Yeah but crap lyrics ☺

#75 Béla Fleck, Thea Gilmore, Tony McManus?

#80

that's pretty good - only one shout recorded for simply red...chuffed... the dark side improve, it's the vox pop texters we've got to be concerned about.

"Star" - Erasure

"Afternoon Delight" - Starland Vocal Band

"Boy With The Arab STARap" (sorry!) - Belle & Sebastian

#85 ha ha get over yourself some of the pi** requested on the blog is not that great at times. And i include myself there......

Something a bit out of the ordinary;
"Sword of Orion" by Vangelis

Ian
Gartcosh

Good luck with the shout Ian, but got to warn you Ricardo & Bryan don't do the less ordinary that often ;-)

#87 and that is not meant as pi = archimedes constant = C/d = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510

#87 I know, I just have this deep loathing for Stars by Simply Red - it just personifies mediocrity.

#90 you're taking the pi?
