Floaters themes...

Bryan Burnett | 17:42 UK time, Wednesday, 4 June 2008

Just got out of a meeting to discuss next week’s themes and to go through the ‘themes’ folder to try and put them into some sort of order. Easier said than done as the ‘themes to be done’ folder is almost as big as my ‘songs we haven’t played’ folder. Both are much bigger that my ‘songs to be ordered’ folder, my ‘songs that have been ordered but haven’t arrived yet’ folder, my ‘days of the weeks’ folders and the one that’s simply says ‘issues and drama’. Paul labelled this one to file away all my weekly ( more like daily – Paul) rants about things that I’d like to be fixed.

You will have gathered that I have a bit of a thing about stationery and I like us to be organised.

Back to themes though. Thanks to everyone who responded with themes to incorporate The Floaters into the show. These included everything from ‘inflatables’ to ‘things that put you off your tea’! This was my favourite though. What do you think?

"This might be a stretch but here goes -- and forgive me but I am a writer/editor, hence the geeky grammar connection. How about the "-er" suffix -- forming nouns from verbs with the sense of "person or thing which does" for a theme? That could cover The Floaters, Drifters, Pretenders, Killers, Proclaimers, Bob Marley and the Wailers...or the songs "The Cutter" (Echo and the Bunnymen), "Absolute Beginners" (The Jam), "Bankrobber" (The Clash), "Jeanne Needs a Shooter" (Warren Zevon) and "Arc of a Diver" (Steve Winwood) for starters."
