At 6:18pm on 25 Aug 2009 Bryan said:

"...this is the programme where you choose the music..."



MONDAY

'The Waking Edge' - Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson unashamedly admits he was influenced by Mark Knopfler whilst composing the music for 'Crest of a Knave', the album from which this song is taken. With Ian on flute, piano and vocals, Martin Barre superb as ever on guitar and David Pegg, (yes, the David Pegg), on bass.

Mellow as they come. If you enjoy Dire Straits you'll like this.

TUESDAY

'Ananinginaneana' - Saint Andrew

Also, support for;

'One Brown Mouse' - Jethro Tull; Jim's suggestion from the previous thread.

Good luck Scotch :0)

Monday:

Wish you'd play something by The Ditty Bops...like 'Wake Up' perhaps?
You've not played any previous requests for them yet so, here's a small back-up selection...

Evanescence - 'Bring Me To Life' (lyrics in chorus are 'Wake Me Up Inside').

Four Tops - 'Shake Me, Wake Me When It's Over' (good Northern Soul sound...the version by The Satintones is good too).

Del Shannon - 'Cry Myself To Sleep' (starts off pretty ordinary then launches into a Speedy Gonzales-style falsetto chorus).

TUESDAY:

Another band that a few bloggers (well, me, MadMac and Max B Gold)ask for every now and again but haven't had played yet...Nine Below Zero - 'One Way Street'.

Monday:-
Belle & Sebastian - Asleep on a sunbeam,
Semisonic - Singing in my sleep
Arcade Fire - Wake Up
Duke Special - Wake up Scarlett

Tuesday:-
Please play Ian Drury & The Blockheads - One Love,
if not then
Blondie - One Way or another, or
Queen - One Vision

Mon

Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead - Warren Zevon - For in that sleep of death what dreams may come?

Tue

One Mint Julep - King Curtis - You'll have had your Memphis Soul Stew

Wed

Corners Without Exits - Hot Tuna - Tugs at the heartstrings

Thu

Dancing In The Street - Mick Jagger and David Bowie - A celebrity connection?

Let's eliminate Bitter Sweet Symphony since it's The Verve accompanying Andrew Loog Oldham.

Monday
I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles.
Sleepless Nights - Albert Lee & Hogans Heroes.
Wake Up Little Susie - The Everly Brothers.
The Kraken Wakes - B J Cole.
Sun Arise - Rolf Harris

Tuesday
One and One is One - Medicine Head.
The First One is Free - Flamin' Groovies.
One Two Three - Len Barry.
One Way Love - Cliff Bennett And The Rebel Rousers .
I Am The One You Warned Me Of - Blue Oyster Cult

Think I'll avoid lists this week

Monday (copied from last thread)

My suggestion has to be Daydream Believer - Monkees because of the line about wiping the sleep out of my eyes. Also because it's a cert to be played and I'm first to suggest it.

Tuesday

One more chance - Stone the crows

Wednesday:

Bridge over troubled water - Simon & Garfunkel

Thursday:

Ian Stewart's auntie stayed next door and he and his little-known band visited every now and again. I'd like to hear one of their songs please: "New Faces" by the Rolling Stones

DC in Cellardyke

A theme which would avoid those dispriting lists which render this blog unreadable would be "my favourite record"

#10 was not a reference to the national elf service.

And since we have missed the anniversaries of Woodstock and Abbey Road and left Les Paul's demise unmarked, what about a night of newly remixed stereo Beatles favourites on the 9th of September with a prize for anyone who can hear a difference.

# 11 Look to Dr. Ebbetts Sound System for salvation.

#10. Perhaps we should all ask for only one song each for Tuesday's theme. Would that help you Glen?

Monday Sleeping and Waking:

* U2 - MLK
* A Man Called Adam - Easter Song
One I used to have on my playlist for when I took 0630 flights every Monday Morning. I'd be asleep before the wheels left the tarmac at EDI, woke up for breakfast somewhere over Manchester, then out like a light until taxi-ing @ LHR. This always seeped into my half-asleep mind. I'm so glad I don't have to do that any more.

* Python Lee Jackson featuring Rod Stewart - In A Broken Dream
* Christy Moore - John O'Dreams
Classical buffs may spot the outright theft of a melody from Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony

I'd love to hear
* Miles Davis - 'Round Midnight
but Stephen Duffy might raise a demarcation issue.

A different sort of waking up - a very happy one, for a youngster aged anywhere from 2 to 4 (and beyond):
* Billy Bragg - Dry Bed

However, above and beyond every single one of these, this is a great night for perhaps the best song Richard Thompson has ever written:
* The Dimming of the Day

On further contemplation - let's just have the Billy Bragg track. It's fun, cheeky, a Woody Guthrie lyric, and under 2 minutes long.

I bet that's how the production team arrived at the theme

Bryan: "What about Tuesday's theme Miss Babs?"

Babs: "Don't make it too easy or we'll have to wade through all those lists on the blog!"

Bryan: "The blog? Do we still have one of those? OK then, lets not allow lists and just go for one on Tuesday"

Babs: "Right, that's the theme seen to, but what about those lists?"

:-)

DC

Monday
Wake up Everybody / Harold Melvin and the bluenotes
Sleepwalk /Santo and johnny



Tues
Seconds for the previously requested Medicine head

Also it would be good to hear one of the great male voices
One Hundred Ways / James ingram

It might help whoever has to read through this.

EEK!

Monday - Sleeping And Waking:
Sleep - Texas With Paul Buchanan

Sleeping Pills - Suede
I Need Some Sleep - Eels
Sleep Alone - Moby
Go To Sleep - Radiohead
Wake Up Dead Man - U2
Grandma's Feather Bed - John Denver ;-)

Monday - how about Roy Wood's "Wake Up"? You have to love a track where the "percussion" is him sloshing his feet in a bucket of water. Or The Corrs "Only When I Sleep"; Richard Thompson "I Can't Wake Up To Save My Life"; The Ivy League "Tossing and Turning". Or how about the "Nightmare Song" from Gilbert & Sullivan's "Iolanthe", or "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's "Turandot" (Three Tenors anyone?)

Tuesday - The Stone Roses "This Is The One"; Harry Nilsson "One Is The Loneliest Number"; Johnny Cash "One Piece At A Time"; Abba "One Man, One Woman". Or anything by The Only Ones.

Wednesday - Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin "Je t'aime....Moi non plus". Or how about a guitar AND an orchestra on Mason Williams' "Classical Gas".

Thursday: I used to play fiddle in a folk/cajun group called The Middlewood Swamp Band. Our guitarist and singer was a guy called Joe Beard who used to play with The Purple Gang, whose debut single "Granny Takes A Trip" was John Peel's record of the year in 1967 (?I think). They recorded it at Abbey Road in the next studio to Pink Floyd who were doing "Arnold Layne". Syd Barrett said "You can have Number Two, we'll have Number One" . (Both bands were produced by Joe Boyd at the time so knew each other pretty well.)

Also - May 17, 1966: the night Dylan played the Manchester Free Trade Hall and someone shouted out "Judas" just before he did "Like A Rolling Stone". I was in the audience with my big brother, who'd seen Dylan on his first British tour and this time took me with him. My brush with musical history and the most famous heckle of all time.

MONDAY - AWAKE etc

Woke Up it was a CHELSEA MORNING - Joni Mitchell
"Sleep came upon me", AIR THAT I BREATHE - Hollies
"Wake up you sleepy Head", PRETTY THINGS - David Bowie

"Aint it hard when you wake up in the morning", - STAR OF BETHLEHEM - Neil Young / Emmylou Harris
"When I awoke & found you warm & near", FOR EMILY WHENEVER I MAY FIND HER - Simon & Garfunkel ( Nice short one that could be easily squeezed in if it's a busy night!)

Another for tonight
I love it when you sleep / Tracie

Thu Celebrity Connections
About 10 years ago one of our colleagues was retiring so we booked a few tables at a dinner dance in a well known Paisley hotel. The only reason she agreed to her 'wee do' was that there had to be no fuss and no surprises, which of course there wasn't although it didn't stop the odd wee tease about the night being dropped into the conversation. So we're in the hotel bar before the meal and one other guy walks in.....Jeremy Beadle. You couldn't have made it up. It took three other girls to persuade her that it was nothing to do with us and to come out of the WC cubicle she had locked herself in. Turned out he was hosting a charity function in another part of the hotel but he came over had a laugh with us , signed her card and bought her a drink. Nice guy and not at all like his tv personna. As for a song....Hmmmm.

Tuesday One-ness:

DC

#34
That would do it.

#27

Yes, let's have Granny Takes A trip - I haven't heard it in years.

As for Bob Dylan - "I don't believe you - you're a liar."

Wed Orchestras

Really looking forward to this theme. Sometimes when you really listen to a song eg what's going on behind the vocalist it can give you a whole new perspective of the song. It's one of the reasons I'm such a huge fan of 70's soul cos some of the productions were just brilliant and many of them were backed up by orchestras. Listen to the backing on songs such as Rock the Boat / Hues Corporation, Lady Love / Lou Rawls and of course
all the Barry white and Philadelphia stuff for some great examples. In fact the Love Unlimited otchestra and MFSB were good examples of House Orchestras that had hits and success in their own right. However I'll give you a choice of four as my selection. They're songs you've heard a hundred times over but which use the full range of orchestral backing especially the strings and brass to stunning effect.

Ghetto Child / Detroit Spinners
Feel the Need in me / Detroit Emeralds
Jack in the Box / Moments
You Don't Have to Go / Chi Lites

Monday :

Pressure of Life (Takes the Weight Off the Body),opening line, Dreaming of living without problems - Fun Boy 3
Wake Up Little Susie - The Everley Brothers
Wake Up - Roy Wood from Boulders album
Baby - Tenacious D, lovely wee tune, only 1:36 long, easy to fit in
Dreaming - Blondie

Dreams - The Corrs

Tuesday - Nine Below Zero - "One Way Street" Pleeeeese.

Monday

Breakfast in Bed - Baby Washington

Tuesday:

One on One - Hall and Oates

Spot on re 70s soul - in particular Cinematic Soul. So, Papa Was A Rolling Stone has a great string section backing.

BRING ME THE BED OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

Mon. GOODNIGHT, IRENE (I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS) - Ry Cooder

Adam_from_Rio

#45 Confused...thought I was You.

Thursday.
During the early 70s I was a "Roadie" for Jim(Midge)Ure's first band Stumble,we toured all over Scotland.We also played the famous Arran holiday week-end gigs in Brodick,Lamlash,& Whiting Bay.On booking into our digs we found we were sharing the place with a certain Mr Noddy Holder & co.
No Sleep 'Til Blackwaterfoot.

I've got a version of Enter Sandman played exclusively on Cellos - can we have it for orchestra night? No? Ah well ;-)

Place your bets, place your bets - are we going to have Lullaby by the Cure, or by Embrace? Very different songs... you pays your money, you takes your choice...

Or are we going to dive left and cover both by having The Cure's Let's Go To Bed..?

#49. I'd prefer to hear 10CC's 'Rock and Roll Lullaby

Hearing Duke Special made me think of Boxing as a theme (put yer dukes up)...Dr HOOK, Somethin' BOUT you baby I like, Meet Me On The CORNER.

#47 Should add, Stumble's drummer Alex Baird joined -The Jags- round about 1978.It would be nice to hear- Back of My Hand.

TUESDAY

'I Know One' - John Prine & Emmylou Harris

'Love On One Condition' - Bonnie Raitt

A Jon Cleary composition. Jon's piano and Bonnie's slide guitar produce a sound reminiscent of Little Feat. (With whom Bonnie played in the studio, back in the day).

Man! Thought they were delaying posting the themes to come up with something clever for One! Not exactly a stretch to come up with songlists for this theme....

The Clash - Capital Radio One
Skids - Of One Skin

FFV

How about a night when Bryan picks all the records and we can all do other things?

I wonder if anyone will set off the alarms on Tuesday by requesting The One And Only by Chesney Hawkes. :-)

Tuesday - One:
Number One - The Rutles
Deoch An Dorus - Martyn Bennett (essentially translates as 'one for the road')
The One - Elton John
One Brown Mouse - Jethro Tull
One And Only Man - Steve Winwood
One World - Utopia
Love Plus One - Haircut 100
One By One - Billy Bragg
If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield
One Love - Massive Attack
The One You Love - Rufus Wainwright
One Tree Hill - U2
Only The Lonely - Roy Orbison
Try It On My Own - Whitney Houston
One Step Ahead - Nik Kershaw

Tuesday

Fife disco favourite from the 80's. Wan(g) Chung - Dance Hall Days

Hello.

For Tuesday's show, how about One Track Mind by Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers? A belter of a track from a well under-rated band. From the golden year of 1977.

Cheers.

LLIM.

P.S. Please don't play Going For The One by Yes.

#54

Pink Floyd was played on Radio One a few years ago. What about "Great Gig in the Sky" for Tuesday night?

DC

Tuesday: One

Pretty sure it would be a 'first play' for GIO... I would urge you to dig out ONE VOICE from 'The Wailin' Jennys'.

Superb female vocals from the wonderful Canadian trio.

Tueasday: ONE

Bryan Ferry originals:
'ONE Kiss'
'The Chosen ONE'

Bryan Ferry Covers
'Just ONE Look'
'Just ONE Of Those Things'
'ONE Way Love'


J.O'B.

One.....

Black (aka Colin Vearncombe) - The Big One (great track, he has done more than Wonderful Life)

Gene Clark - The True One (from his outstanding No Other lp)

David Gray - The One I Love

Mott The Hoople - One Of The Boys

and this is a brilliant new Eno / Byrne track - One Fine Day

#55

Ha! I will not wander blindly into so obvious a trap!











not again...

WEDNESDAY

'For You' - Judie Tzuke

Any excuse to play this again. Beautiful song, beautiful string arrangement. (The singer's no' bad lookin' either!)


'This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us' - Sparks

Bryan played an orchestral version of this the last time we had a similar theme. Go on, dig it oot again.

In 1985 Jethro Tull collaborated with the London Symphony Orchestra to record an album titled 'A Classic Case'

I regret to inform you that it is not very good.

Ach weel, they cannae a' be brilliant!

#56

If no-one does, Miss Babs will be ever so disappointed......

>8-D

for the ONE theme we can mention the producer of a song and create a palindrome:

Eno One
(The former Roxy man co-produced this U2 song)

J.O'B

Wednesday:

'Heard 'em say' from Kanye West's live-at-Abbey-Road album 'Late Orchestration' (not sure if lyrics are OK for GIO though). It features John Legend and whassisname from Maroon 5.

#68. RJ, Was Eno really a member of this orchestra?...

#70
Yes he was indeed invloved with them. He produced some of their albums and they where also on his solo album Taking Tiger Moubntain (by Strategy)

J.O'B.

TUES: The One Show

Undertones - One Way Love
Yellow Dog - Just One More Night
Mint Juleps - One Bad Stud
Quantum Jump - The Lone Ranger*

*Contains one use of mild/fairly strong language

Wednesday:
Pableeto, as its your theme, would you care to clarify what it is exactly?
Your post (#37) and your requests don't actually go along with Bryan's description of - "From The Beatles to the Verve, we'll feature the bands who ditched the guitars and brought in the strings"

Do we request "Kashmir" or "Hooked on Classics" and "Eye Level"?

#72

What?

Taumatawhakatangihangakoayauo
Tamateaturipukakapikimaungahoro
Nukypokaiwhenuakitanatahu

What's wrong with that?

#55

That's Friday - he turns up to Pacific Quay and does the show, but no-one tells him it's not connected to the transmitters.

For Thursday..
Having been in bands i met a lot of musicians especially Scottish bands of the 80's....all very nice (well mostly)
even had the Blue Nile ask to get on the guest list of one of our gigs ! which we obviously agreed to.. but a funny thing happened one Sunday at rehearsal around '85....we were busy playing when our then manager came into the room with two strangers "alright guys ,theese fellas are going into management and would like would like to manage you! " they had been to a few gigs and liked us...so we kind of ignored them and continued playing...after a few numbers our guitarist turned to them and said "listen just who the hell (or similar) are you and what do you want? "well we've kind of been around the business a while and want to get into another side of it ...we think this is a good band to start with, simple as that we really like you"....yes, but who the **** are you? Well i'm Pete and he's Daryl and we play in a wee band called Nazareth! .... the place was in tatters.... and considering the guitarist was from Dunfermline, he was never to live it down. they went on to manage us for about 18 months :0)


Broken Down Angel would be great ........

F I D

ONE TUESDAY

If there has to be just one then it has to be Bob...

One Of Us Must Know - Dylan

Paul - they must play that song Sooner or Later.

.............sorry!

The Who - I'm One

#76, great story Frank! My brother stayed at the Inn in Glenfargie a few years ago where Nazareth had been booked for a gig (nothing like as big as they used to be!!!) It turns out that the band had booked in for the night also, so my bro sat most of the night with the guys in the bar after the punters had all left.

I second Frank's suggestion of Broken Down Angel

DC

#73
Kashmir counts as does I put a spell on you by Mica Paris, Dave Gilmour and the Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.

Come on Eileen doesn't.

Nor do orchestras on their own unless they're being backed by another orchestra :-)

#4 Hey Julie, Stand by yer radio...

9 Below Zero and One-Way Street might just make it tonight, Miss Bab's just said so...

THURSDAY

'Hymn 43' - Jethro Tull

The song is about a laddie from Nazareth. Nazareth are a Scottish band from Dunfermline. (see 76) Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull was born in Dunfermline. I have driven through Dunfermline on several occasions.

(slightly tenuous) CELEBRITY CONNECTIONS!

Hey Scotch have I told you before I worked with Dan McCafferty's sister in law??? L.O.L.

For Orchestra Night how about

Stevie Nicks - Beauty and The Beast

this track is simply Ms Nicks and her backing singers with Roy Bittan and an Orchestra, I can't recall which one though. Pretty sure this was arranged and conducted by Paul Buckmaster who also worked on Space Oddity.

#84, continued;

and MadMac worked wi' Dan McCafferty's sister-in-law. (see #85)

>8-D

The laptop's going to the garage tomorrow. I had better post this now, in case it doesn't return in time for Thursday's show.

THURSDAY

'Against the Wind' - Maire Brennan

My cousins in Gweedore, County Donegal, went to school with the Brennans.










Deja who?

Wednesdays strings...

Daydream Believer ~ T. Monkees

The Impossible Dream ~ Luther Vandross

Bridge over troubled water ~ Roberta Flack

I'll Never Fall in Love Again ~ Dionne Warwick

>8-O

Love T K O ~ Teddy Pendergrass

I wonder why anyone would be interested in what I was having for my dinner?

#91 Okay, okay! Will this make you happy for tomorrow..

Smithers Jones ~ T. Jam

Wednesday - Orchestral Backing:
Heroes Symphony - David Bowie's Heroes (remixed by with a Philip Glass orchestral score)
The Eve Of The War - Jeff Wayne
Embers - Just Jack
Jumbo - Curved Air
Barcelona - Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe
Wild West Hero - Electric Light Orchestra
A Day In The Life - The Beatles
Millennium - Robbie Williams

Good to hear Medicine Head and Randy crawford on the show tonight.

I daresay BB and producer of the day will set the parameters for the wed theme. I'd been listening to Days of Future Past and thought singers and bands that had used orchestral backing/arrangement would be a good theme even though in the end I've used it as an excuse to get some more soul on. Ironically I'm having to work tomorrow night so will have to listen again.


One violin doesn't make an orchestra.....

Dawn is a feeling, a beautiful ceiling,
The smell of grass just makes you pass into a dream.

You're here today, no future fears,
This day will last a thousand years, if you want it to.

"Turn up the strings, Justin - I can still hear the lyrics."

Passed/Past Caring

Must pay more attention to my speling

WEDNESDAY: ORCHESTRA

Bryan Ferry's 'Sonnet 18' is a track I have tried on so many themes where I can squeeze it in, maybe tonight I could be lucky.

This track shows the width of Ferry's repertoire. This is quality and is one of Ferry's best vocal performances, not perfect and vulnerable sounding and that's where it's attraction lies.

J.O'B.

#78, aye good one Norrie, much later by the looks!

WEDNESDAY - ORCHESTRAL

Had to give this a bit more thought than normal so must be a good theme Paulo! Depending on strictness of interpretation hopefully the following qualify:-

Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (Grocer Jack) - Keith West
See My Baby Jive - Wizzard

#83. That was really disappointing. I was in my sickbed with a rotten stinkin' flu-ey cold, sneezing for Scotland, permanent headache for the last 3 days and i've done something very painful to my shoulder. Texted in when Babs mentioned what she wanted to play to say that the Nine Below Zero track would cheer me up but no... Thought they might play it at the end but...playing Morrissey again was obviously much more important than making a grotty-feeling devoted listener feel a bit more comfortable...sigh! ;0)

#93 Great suggestion Jim - or the Low symphony, thats at least half the programme sorted!
