³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

After the week we've had I think the best approach is the one as follows...

Laughter in the Rain - Neil Sedaka

Other weather related stuff...

Four Strong Winds - Neil Young
Snowbird - Anne Murray

Themes I thik can be split into two types. Ones you have to think about and ones that generate huge lists that can be difficult to narrow down. I'm afraid the weather falls into the latter category.

Monday
Love is Blue (I Can Sing a Rainbow) / The Dells
Great bit of kiddies soul

Against the Wind / Bob Seger
Love the piano solo in this

Against the Wind / Maire Brennan
Just backing up Scotch in this oft requested tune. Long overdue a
play on GIO.

Dust in the Wind / Kansas
Great song from an underrated band

Wild is the Wind / David Bowie
One of his best. Reminds me of a wild night in more ways than one.

Rainy Night In Georgia / Brook Benton
Fav version of the Tony Joe White Song

Hurricane / The Singing Hoover
Best Dylan Song by far

Sunshine of your Smile / Mike berry
Guilty Pleasure

Sunshine Day / Osibisa
Real feel good 70's number

Save it for a rainy day / Stephen Bishop
Another underrated singer

Birdland / Weather report
Classic Jazz

NYC Weather Report / Five for Fighting
This guys got a great voice. Should hear more of him.

And finally, not sure if I've asked for this before
Thunder Road Live Hammersmith 75 / Bruce Springsteen

I'm probably (nah, who are we kidding) going to come back with more, but strong contenders for next week have to be:

Monday Weather:
Billy Bragg - St Swithin's Day
A beautifully bittersweet love song (as so many of Billy's are), linked into all the rain & Shakespeare associations with the Saint's Day.

Tuesday Specs:
Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star
(although you could have any of the FGTH tracks, given Trevor Horn's involvement)

Wednesday Streets:
The Beatles - Why Don't We Do It In The Road

Monday:

Here comes the sun - Beatles
It's raining again - Supertramp
Fog on the Tyne - Lindisfarne (my third use of this song in as many weeks)

More to follow

DC in Cellardyke

Monday weather again:

According to wikipedia, "The Jethro Tull album Stormwatch features the shipping forecast in between verses of North Sea Oil. It is read by Francis Wilson, a TV weatherman who also reads the introduction to Dun Ringill on the same album."

Seems like the right time to play some Tull?

Other possibilities:

Rainy Night in Georgia - Brook Benton
Hurricane - Bob Dylan
Full Force Gale - George Ivan Morrison (Van tae his pals)
Misty - Ella Fitzgerald (amongst a million others)
"Storm" - Fleetwood Mac

The last mentioned song would be my preference and the only suggestion I would have made if I had not felt pressurised into compiling a list.

Come on the bloggers!

not sure if you've grasped the whole concept here Adam...

The creel isn't something you keep in a wood, it's an object you chuck into water. Lobsters don't grow on trees you know....

DC

#16

Closely followed by T'Pau - 'Giving Up The Ghost'


#31

Of course not. If they did, the beavers would have 'em!

(They gnaws the claws)

>8-D

#32

Always respect to beavers.

#32, you know beavers in Rio?

We should be telt!

BTW, Bloggers sweep going here for PCPC, £10 to Children in need if this gets past mid-day Saturday. Get your pledge in pdq..)

:-)

ehrmm.. Adam in Rio

NEWSFLASH

Kenny MacAskill, who is determined to make us all compassionate whether we like it or not, has declared that lobsters should no longer have to endure wellies and/or bylin' watter.

Instead, we should eat

Mr. MacAskill knows best. Just do it!

>8-D

TUESDAY (SPECS) - Lisa Loeb - 'Stay (I Missed You)'.

Does anyone have the playlist for the fairly recent Irish theme??

Joe
Linlithgow

Thursday:

The daughter has discovered country music...Keith Urban is a favourite. You could play Steve Forbert - 'Romeo's Tune' to remind her that, though Keith is more handsome, Steve's original version (which she heard first...live incidentally) is the better one.

'I'm Beggin' - Madcon...again for The Daughter...busking breakdancers danced to this where we were on holiday this year. We stopped to watch them a lot during our stay and I couldn't stop singing the chorus of this song (which I love...it really got on her nerves).

Some Tull for Scotch et al...you gotta do it really haven't you...it's only fair ;0)

Tina Turner's version of 'Help', for my Sister...cos that's what she does for me.

#46, no tune about a smelly wheelie bin?

:-0

DC

# 50. My Old Man's a Dustman. (Midge Bin Mix)

The bin lorry went to the house on bin day. No sign of any bucket at the door. Being a kind sort of environmental officer, the dustman rang the doorbell. The elderly occupant of the house took his time, but eventually appeared.

"Where's your bin mate?" says the skaffie (are we allowed to refer to them in such a manner these days? Another £10 to Children In Need if this post still on the blog by Monday midday)

"Ehhmm, I bin in the kitchen!" says the house owner.

"Naw, I asked where's your bin!" says the dustman

The old guy looks flustered. "Ehhhmmm, I bin in the hall?"

"Naw mate, you misunderstand! Where's your wheelie bin??!!!"

"OK", says the auld chap, "I really bin havin a pee..."

DC

Good suggestions so far, keep them coming.
I can also report 2 lobsters were dropped into boiling water Chez Babs - following expert advice on the blog - they were delicious if a bit messy! Couldn't cope with the stabbing method I'm afraid, and left the kitchen immediately after the boiling began! I know...what a softie!

#53, messy? You didn't gut them first I hope!

Lobster in my lunch piecebox twice this week, followed by lobster salad for tea on another two occasions. I caught another this morning but decided to keep it until tomorrow so had a steak from the BBQ instead.

all contain weather requests for tonight. 'It's gonna be a busy show'

Hello.

For the weather programme 0n Monday, I'd like to suggest the Grace Jones track 'Walking In The Rain' from 1981. A great single from the very under-rated Nightclubbing album.

It was good to see Grace back last year with another excellent album.

Cheers.

LLIM.
