Re: 'In Every Dream ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ a Heartache'
RoxyJohn, I seek advice, and this is your
area of expertise. On the grounds that it
references something full of air, (full of
helium would be much more interesting,
methinks), I intended to suggest it for
Tuesday's show.
Q. Is the song too smutty for GIO? As B.B.
keeps reminding us, there will be children
listening. Perhaps the dark content will go
over their heads. (As if it were indeed filled
with helium).
I bow to your superior Knowledge in this matter, and await your comments.

FIRE:
Been waiting a wee while for a suitable theme to suggest "Sunset Hymn" by Emily Smith - lovely song (and while inside the candle flame burns bright) and she has a great voice.

Fire -

I can't believe no-one has yet suggested "Fire" by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown? I thought it was the obvious first song for Monday night. Arthur played the Wickerman Festival for a couple of years, and an endless version of this song preceded the torching of the 35ft high wickerman at midnight. Surreal!

No more suggestions for Fire from me, as this has to be played.

scorchin start to the week guys, kinda makes up for the less than scorchin weather. Bring on the Indian Summer!

I hope one or two of these searingly hot wee choons warms the cockles of yer heart.


1. Pointer Siters - Fire. even better than springsteens original.

2. Ash -Burn Baby Burn

3. Ryan Adams - Shallow..White Hot Visceral Rock`n`Roll.

4. Human League - Being Boiled

5. Wonderstuff - Hot love Now!

6. Teenahe Fanclub - Sparkys Dream

7. Mindy Smith - Down in Flames

8. Ruts - Babylons Burning

9. Springsteen - I,m on Fire

10. Snow Patrol - Set the Fire to the 3rd bar

11. Hot Speechbubble - Roast my chops!

Phew!... Gotta hit the cold shower now!
It's gonnae be hotter than hell thenight!?!

Adam in Rio

This subject is driving me mad as Tommy keeps coming up with new suggestions to add to our list!
Here's an abridged version of the list:

Dancing With Myself - Generation X

I Hate Myself and I Want to Die - Nirvana

Mean To Me - Celia and the Mutations (basically The Stranglers with a female singer - it's great)

Start Me Up - Rolling Stones (for Socks)

I Wanna Be Me - Sex Pistols

I Can't Control Myself - The Ramones, this track was a cover of a 60's song we'd love to know who sang the original.

Free Me - Cast

Ali and the Winters
Bonnybridge

Tuesday - Air
'In Every Dream ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ A Heartache' - Roxy Music.

Requested with the official blessing of RoxyJohn. (See 19).

Great shows last week. Tuesday and Thursday were especially good. (In my humble opinion).

Ali - I don't know the Ramones' version of I Can't Control Myself, but I think you're probably talking about the Troggs, who did a great song by that name in the 60's. The Buzzcocks did it as well but in a more punky style.

I believe heavy showers are forecast for Auchtermuchty, Is there a fall-back?

Fire: I'm still going for Emily Smith's "Sunset Hymns". One of the clearest, loveliest voices I've heard in recent years.

Air: "Playground Love" - Air.
Air Traffic - "Shooting Star".

Water: "Underwater Love" - Smoke City. "Sand and Water" - Beth Nielsen Chapman. TLC - "Waterfalls".

Earth: Steve Forbert - "Good Planets are Hard to Find". White Stripes - "Dead leaves and the dirty ground. Michael Jackson - "Earth Song". "Dirty Harry" - Gorrilaz. Roni Size - Dirty Beats.

Fire:

Fire - Arthur Brown - He is the 'god of hell fire' after all
Burning Down The House - Talking Heads
She Don't Use Jelly or Do You Realize? - The Flaming Lips
Soul On Fire - Spiritualized

Air:

The Wind That Shakes The Barley - Dead Can Dance
Castles In The Air - Don McLean
The Wind - Cat Stevens
Recycled Air - The Postal Service

Water:

The Sea - Morcheeba
Oceanside - The Decemberists
Down By The Water - PJ Harvey
Hoochie Coochie Man - Muddy Waters

Earth:

Emergency On Planet Earth - Jamiroquai
Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder
On Earth - The Sundays

Fire:

Please consider playing my fav band

TINDERSTICKS ( an acquired taste )

Ive never heard them on radio Scotland so it could be a first for the Brian Burnett show.

From the new album The Hungry Saw:

The Flicker of a Little Girl; or

Come Feel the Sun;

or from an earlier album their most commercial success

Tiny Tears

Other suggestions for your listeners who may not like Tindersticks ( which is hard to believe ):

Ring of Fire - Jonny Cash
Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
Babylons Burning - The Ruts
Firestarter - Prodegy
Fire Woman - The Cult

Peter in Prestwick listening with son Jack 1 year old ( its never too early to get listen ) attently for Tindersticks !

Danielle - Castles in the Air (as Bryan is wont to say) would be great! That was one I'd thought of but forgot about when i came to put in my requests in. Don't hear enough of Don Mclean (except Vincent or American Pie) and he's done so many good songs.

Good shout Manicpeter! Tindersticks are one of the most underrated bands.
Go on BB, GET IT ON!
Maria in Stirling

Guys - we need to make a pact right now NOT to request 'Wind Beneath My Wings' on Tuesday... please pretty please?

I'd suggest 'Radio # 1' or 'Cherry Blossom Girl' by Air.

Forest Fire - Lloyd Cole and Commotions

Fields of Fire - Big Country

Norrie Maclean, Renfrew

Bryan

My first pick for tonight is 'This Wheel's on Fire' by Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger.

Or how about:
Ashes - KT Tunstall
Campfire Song - 10,000 Maniacs
Fire in the Hole - Steely Dan
Fireworks - Kate Walsh
Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray - kd lang
The Tracks of my Tears - Smokey Robinson

Cheers

Andy

Good list, Andy. I'd definitely agree with the KD Lang suggestion. I've seen her live three times and it's even better live when she turns in her usual effortless, floaty performance. Maybe only Tina Dico has a voice to rival KD's...

Get The Fire Brigade-Move would be great to hear for Monday

Something in the Air-Thunderclap Newman


Black Water- Doobie Brothers.

Higher Ground- Stevie Wonder.



The last suggestion is a MUST.

Thursday - Blanket on the Ground by Billie Jo Spears.
Mind you, its hard to believe that Billie Jo would ever have taken a good blanket of her bed to put down on some muddy river bank. But then again A Red Tartan Travelling Rug on the Ground, doesnt really scan does it.

Adam in Rio

Fire:

'f-I-re-uled the world...

A flame is out for a walk one day and meets a bunch of fireworks and says "I'd like a job please".

There's an incendiary live version of In the Midnight Hour with Wilson Pickett on stage at the 5/4 Ballroom in South Central Los Angeles in1965.KGFJ DJ Magnificent Montague exchanges raps with Wilson in the Introduction and and uses his famous catch phrase Burn Baby Burn before Al Jackson thumps the snare and we're off into the song. Two days later the Watts rioters chanting Burn baby Burn set LA on flames and Montague has to find a new Catch phrase.

You can hear the intro here



and you can find the performance on
A Man and a Half: Best of Wilson Pickett on Atlantic

Wednesday Night

WATER you want to make those eyes at me for ?

Sorry.

KT Tunstall "Other side of the world" (for water).

Julie - Funny, Playground Love was on my list too. I removed when I noticed it on your list. Great minds...
I agree, Don McLean is a wonderful singer-songwriter. It's the music I grew up on. Great to hear James Taylor today too.
Off to listen to a little Sir Duke. Enjoy the show tomorrow Bryan!

AIR

Wild is the Wind - I like the Bowie version on Station to Station but Nina Simone also has a good cover.

For all the staff in the Community Mental Health Team at Parkhead who are all full of wind !

Peter Harkins

Guys, I started making a list this afternoon and after about 15 mins I had about 30 or so really great tunes! Gonna have to cut it down and send in only the very very best - tough when you like them all though! Using Youtube as a screening service now...

Last night's Fire theme was one of the best so far, and there was so much left unplayed.
We seem to be veering towards wind and breathing tonight for the Air theme, so how about the following.

Breathless by The Corrs
Windmills of your Mind - the Dusty Springfield version, and I know this is a bit if a stretch, but Life's A Gas by T-Rex.
Any excuse for a bit of Marc Bolan.

Cheers,
Martin in Dunfermline

Oh. I've got a choice here. Do I go for Joy Division's Atmosphere or Russ Abbot's?

Hmm...it's a tough one.

Okay, it has to be Russ Abbot.

Only joking!

For the Air Show can I suggest Atmosphere by Joy Division.

Just few maybe be worth playing tonight,

REM - Try Not Breathe
AIR - Cherry Blossom Girl
Puff Daddy - Every Breath You Take(some might know it as Ill Be Missing You)
Air Supply - All Out of Love
Simply Red - The Air That I Breathe

Simon and Garfunkel Scarbourgh F'Air'
H'Air'cut 100 - Fantastic Day

oops REM Try Not TO Breathe and I have been informed that it is P Diddy !

Vic,

Hope you enjoy the show tonight. My suggestions are:

Something In The Air – David Bowie

Tom Traubert’s Blues (Four Sheets to The Wind In Copenhagen) – Tom Waits

Strange Weather – Marianne Faithful

As We Live and Breathe – Steve Forbert (looking forward to his Edinburgh gig)

Lost in Kyoto - Air


Cheers Norrie MacLean, Renfrew

Vic, thanks for a another great Get it On tonight. You are welcome back anytime.

Norrie: re Steve Forbert...have you been to anything at The Caves before? I fancy seeing Steve Forbert again - he's a great live performer. Good he's playing in Edinburgh again.

MaxBGold is currently residing in Royal Windsor and suggests:

Creedence Clearwater Revival; Up Around The Bend

for Wednesday's water related theme.

Awight dahlin'

Julie: I've not been to the Caves before - been to most Edinburgh venues but not this one and really really looking forward to it!

Please let me know if you are going!


Cheers

Norrie

Thanks Norrie. Should think I will be there.

I will be wearing a white carnation.

Hehehe good one glenmiller

WATER:

Elvis Costello - Pouring Water On A Drowning Man
One of the best tracks from his covers album Kojak Variety. Don’t know the original, but it might be worth a search.

Little Nell - Do The Swim
The video for this is great, but her technique’s all wrong (kick from the hip, not the knee).

EARTH:

Elvis Costello - Must You Throw Dirt In My Face
The best track from Kojak Variety. Yet again, I don’t know the original.

Hugh - that is a great call! The original is by James Carr and either version would be brilliant!

Glen - thanks for the tip! I thought of a home made I Love Get It On t-shirt?? That or my circa 85 Springsteen outfit!!

Welcome back Bryan, hope you enjoyed the concert.
For your water theme tonight, Stevie did a version of Beyond the Sea very early in his career which is still worth listening to.
Along with that, how about one of the following golden oldies?
Four Tops with Still Waters - an all-time classic!
James Taylor with Shower the People or

a bit of a stretch for a really great song,
John Denver with Calypso - a tribute to Jacques Cousteau and also the name of a sea nymph.

See this show is nothing if not educational.

Martin in Dunfermline

Bryan, I hope you remembered to give Stevie a wave from us.

Many Rivers to Cross – Jimmy Cliff

This is The Sea – The Waterboys

Whole of the Moon – the Waterboys

River Deep, Mountain High – Ike and Tina

Famous Blue Raincoat – Jennifer Warnes and Leonard Cohen

I wish it would rain – Nanci Griffith

Water – New Model army

Water – The Who

I Am The Sea – The Who

Down By The River – Indigo Girls version

WEDNESDAY
"Swimming" by The Big Dish

Simple Minds "Waterfront"
David Sylvian "Waterfront" (different song)

RJ - you have missed out Bryan Ferrys outstanding version of Take Me to The River, I was sure you would nominate that!!

Wednesday Water:

"Take Me to the River" - Al Greene or Talking Heads
"Down to the River" or "Glistening Glyndebourne" - John Martyn (rivalling RoxyJohn in obsessiveness this week...)
"Waterfall" Jimi Hendrix
"Riverboat Song" Ocean Colour Scene
"When the Levee Breaks" Led Zeppelin

Hope you enjoyed Stevie Wonder, Bryan - and hope it was sufficient for you for a couple of years after his dire version of "Blowing in the Wind" last night! Deary me.

Bryan

Earlier in the week JimfraeErskine was waxing lyrical about kd lang (quite rightly!). And you were talking on Monday about tracks for every night from a single artist.

You could have played a kd lang track every night this week:
Monday (as suggested) - Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray
Tuesday (not suggested and not her best cover) - The Air That I Breathe
Tonight - the wonderful Wash Me Clean (or Love's Great Ocean)
Tomorrow - ShadowLAND (or What a Wonderful World - with Tony Bennett)

So even thogh you can't play one every night now, how about Wash Me Clean tonight?

Andy

Andy - KD Lang's fantastic Love's Great Ocean would also be a good shout - it's certainly in my list!

Hi BB, Team and bloggers

Water alredy, where does the time go?

Saltwater by Julian Lennon
Drowning In The Sea of Love by Adventures
Sea of Love by Cat Power (great version of this track as featured on the Juno soundtrack)
Waterfalls by TLC (ditto Julie!)
Take Me To The River by Al Green

Cheers

Maria in Stirling

Just a quick thought for "water"songs, as I eat my breakfast while staring at the deer enjoying the salad bar (my front garden) yet again...

Dire Straits.Waterline (the first DS I ever heard...and one of the best)

Robbie Robertson.Somewhere Down the Crazy River...if you've never heard this, check it out...it's got that southern swampy spooky feel that really holds up ( I think it came out sometime in the 90's).

I'm preferring everyone else's suggestions this week. Agree with saltspringsherri re Robbie Robertson - remember when that came out...it's a good one.

Here's what Bob Dylan played on the water theme on his show "Theme Time Radio Hour":

Mommy, give me a drink of water – Danny Kaye
Wade in the water – Ramsey Lewis
Cool Water – The sons of the pioneers
You don’t miss your water – William Bell
High water everywhere (Pt 1) – Charley Patton
Water water – Effie Smith and the Squires
You left the water running – Booker T and the MGs
Pouring water on a drowning man – James Carr
Cold dark waters – Porter Wagoner and The Wagonmasters
I’d rather drink muddy water – the Cats and The Fiddle
Louisiana 1927 – Randy Newman
Cool Drink of water blues – Tommy Johnson
I asked for water, she brought me gasoline – Howlin’ Wolf
Dirty Water – The Standells
Jesus gave me water – The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi
Gospel of John, Chapter 4 (6-7 and 13-14) – Johnny Cash
Have to change keys – Lonnie Johnson and Eddie Lang
Backwater blues – Lonnie Johnson
Still blue water – Myra Taylor with the Jimmy Keith Orchestra
Ice water – Glenn Barber
Grand Coulee Dam – Ramblin’ Jack Elliott

What about a bit of Scottish

Waterboys - Whole of the Moon
Simple Minds - Waterfront
Swimmer - Big Dish

fae Peter in Prestwick listening while bathing baby Jack Harkins who splashes every night to the show.

Don't know how all the question marks got into my previous post. The Blog is playing tricks again.

Seems to happen if you copy and paste. I have got into a habbit of jotting mine down on word and then pasting on the block - thats when you get the question marks.

Might be that.....then again....

What you need nto do is copy and paste from a text editor like Notepad - Not Word. That should avoid character encoding issues like this.

ASCII and ye shall receive...

:-)

Would like to suggest two songs from 1981 for the Water Show.

Both in their own way are hiden jems which never got that much attention back in the day.


Julie Ocean by The Undertones. Only got to 41 in the charts. What a travesty.

Tales From The Riverbank by The Jam. The b-side of Absolute Beginners but should have been the a-side.

Bring back the 7-inch single.

Thanks Jim! I also vote kd lang!

Nothing to do with tonight's theme but...until the photo disappears from the blog page, I'll be wondering if anyone's tried the carrot and cheddar soup yet.

There are no known survivors.

It's OK...the photo has gone now - I can sleep tonight.

Julie - there is a very similar recipe for the soup on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ web site - think they nicked it? ;-)

Re Sand and Water: Doing a spot of overtime tonight - what beautiful words - just about greetin' at my desk. Saw her at The Queen's Hall a while back, supported by Julie Fowlis (with a few words from Phil Cunningham thrown in for good measure). Great concert.

I do recommend the late John Wright's cover of Sand And Water - just as beautiful as the original. It's a really fantastic song.

The Flat Earth - Thomas Dolby

Going Underground - The Jam

Stones in the Road - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Working on The Highway - Bruce springsteen (for all Civil and Structural Engineers!)

Cold, Cold Ground - Tom Waits

Iris DEMent - Higher Ground

Trouble In The Fields - Nanci Griffith

Johnnys Garden - Manassas

Lava - B52's

Down in the Ground - Handsome Family

Underground - Tom Waits

This Island Earth - Bryan Ferry

Peter Gabriel - Digging In The Dirt

Spirit of The Land - Hothouse Flowers

San Andreas Fault - Natalie Merchant

Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground - Willie Nelson (still way and by far the best version of this Willie Nelson classic IMHO)

I am sure not all of these strictly in keeping with the theme.


Norrie Maclean, Renfrew

Bryan

The show is always good - but last night's was a cracker! But be careful what you play - it's hard driving with a tear in your eye (Sand and Water).

For tonight, I'd support Norrie's Willie Nelson shout.

Or how about something from that great Scottish album - Dick Gaughan's Handful of Earth. Song for Ireland or Now Westlin' Winds would be great.

Or maybe Do You Want to Know a Secret by FairGROUND Attraction?

Thanks

Andy

Tramp The Dirt Down by Elvis Costello

and

The Earth Dies Screaming by UB40



It would be great to hear these on Thursday.

Agree with lordlucaismissing about The Earth Dies Screaming-UB40

How about Just An Old Fashioned Girl- EARTHa Kitt.

The Like- SO I'L(L) Be Waiting for You.

Max B Gold is thinking that if it's earth your after then Woody Guthrie - This Land is Your Land is a contender.

Max B Gold listened to last nights show on the interweb and is of the opinion it was a belter.

Hawkwind - "Earth Calling"
Neil Young - "Mother Earth"
The Groundhogs - "Earth Shanty" (this would be a debut for them, I think?)
Crass - "Mother Earth" (also a debut!)
The theme from "Earthworm Jim", quite possibly the best cartoon ever (and almost certainly the most entertaining computer game I could ever be bothered sitting down in front of for more than 10 minutes)

Don't Give Up On Us - David Soil

How about the Theme From Shaft - can you dig it?

A last couple...

You Angel You - manfred manns earth Band (on the Bronze label for those that remeber that discussion from a few weeks back)!

MBG makes an excellent suggestion but Mr Springsteens version of This Land would be equally good and reminded me that This Hard Land would be a fine selection.

Cheers

Norrie

To Jim Frae Erskine,
Thanks for the info on I Can't Control Myself. Didn't know The Buzzcocks covered it, must try and find a copy or I could always hound Bryan until he plays it. Ramones version is on an album called Acid Eaters and is all covers.

Ali

Patti Smith Group - "Land of a Thousand Dances". Go on, set me up for the weekend, Bryan!!

Re last night's show--no offence to RoxyJohn, but B.Ferry's cover of Hard Rain was just plain scary.
For tonight's "earth"show, Etta James "Standing on Shaky Ground" comes immediately to mind...

I had blogged yesterday that Bryan Ferry vesrion of Take Me to the River is exceptional, honestly sometimes his covers dont quite work but when they do.....check out The Bride Stripped Bare album for a superb mix of Ferry tunes and choice originals. I am sure RoxyJohn will confirm this is one of his best albums.

Thursday - Earth

Dirt - Alice In Chains
Planet of Sound - The Pixies
Caffeine Bomb(from Earth v's The Wildhearts) - The Wildhearts
Angel Dust - Faith No More
Just Like Nothing On Earth - The Stranglers
Hello Earth - Kate Bush

Would also like to second Harry's Crass and Hawkwind suggestions. Good shout H!

Ali and the Winters
Bonnybridge
