MONDAY:

'Winter' Love & Money (Preferred Choice)

Well, that'll do to be going on with - there's tracks by Rainbow and Foreigner too, but can't recall the titles, exactly

To reiterate an earlier thread: For me, the outstanding track of recent weeks has been:

Where Have All The Cowboys Gone - Paula Cole

I'd never heard this until it was played recently on GIO: definitely deserves another spin.

regardez youse

Henri

For Monday a truly wonderful track would be:

The Skids - Woman In Winter

Johnny Cash reciting 'The Cremation Of Sam McGee' would fit Monday or Tuesday. Unfortunately it's a tad long and has no tune.

Another strange thing has happened.

After waking up on Thursday ( I think it was Thursday) and finding myself enjoying the jazz house, today Smiffy and myself ended up in McSorleys Bar in Jamaica Street.With a cumulative age of 550, there was a New Orleans jazz band playing - the kind of stuff that sounds dis-interesting on record, but marvelous live. Great fun.This jazz thing is turning into something of an epiphany. I didn't have anything to eat, so have nothing of interest for Bryan to talk about.

Anyway, I've remembered another great 'cold' track

The Night Comes On - Leonard Cohen ( I went down to the place where I knew she lay waiting, under the marble and the snow...)

Yep, I'm also up for a Laughing Lenny night..

Aztec Camera - Walk Out To Winter, would be great track for Monday.

Hello everyone, I hope it's alright for me to join in. I'm not up to dissertations on the de-/merits of the White album, but it seemed a bit voyeuristic to go on reading the blog and not contributing now and again so here I am, a first time blogger.

Monday:
Coming in from the Cold, the Delgados;

Henri

Monday's cold...

At the First Fall of Snow ~ Hank Williams

However See #13 & I'd concur that there seems to be an issue with R&B requests 'often a shout, seldom a play' therefore please DO consider Julie's shout for 9 Below Zero's ~ 'Three Times Is Enough'
OR
Nine Below Zero ~ Muddy Waters

Cold, Cold Heart ~ Lucinda Williams
So Cold The Night ~ T. Communards
Cold Shoulder ~ Johnny Cash
Cold Lady ~ Humble Pie
Frozen Warnings ~ Nico
Ice Cream Van ~ Glasvegas
Ice Machine ~ Depeche Mode
Icy Stone ~ Dinah Washington
Winter Lady ~ Leonard Cohen
Lastly, remember Winter Kills ~ Yazoo

MONDAY - COLD

With the amount of quality suggestions already the "Cold" show should be HOT! Hopefully one of the following can be squeezed in:

Skating on Thin Ice - Procol Harum
Avalanche - Leonard Cohen
Love Minus Zero - Dylan
Picture This - Blondie
Four Strong Winds - Neil Young

The last two have coldness references in the lyrics and the Neil Young one is specifically about the North American winter so hopefully should be appreciated by Carol from Madison, tho the weather in her old home town has been like that recently! Welcome to all the new bloggers, good to see so many.

Paul from Ayr

MONDAY

mad mac's selection has just reminded of

A Walk On Thin Ice - Yoko Ono

It's hardly R&B, but worth a play.

reagrdez youse

Henri

#63. Thanks for the support MadMac. They could play both something by 9 Below Zero AND the track of the same name (wouldn't need to be either/or).

Alfredo Garcias

#57 Wade in the Water......

#59 come on in Gaiebrown. A couple of tips: Don't pay any attention to anyone who disregards the merits of the White Album and always provide support to anyone who suggests Floyd, Tull, Rolling Stones and Gilmour, especially anything from Live in Gdansk.



:-0

DC

#59 Howdy:)

#40 How did i miss Cold Sweat - Thin Lizzy?? I'm always watchin for a track of their's to suggest ;:(

#39 Cheers Scotch, new there were some lyrics in "2 Out of 3 Aint Bad" to make it fit but couldnae be bothered to think it through ;)

One more for Monday
Snowbird - Slim Whitman (or Elvis or many others)
One more for Tuesday
Burnin Down the House - Tom Jones (or the talking heads of alfredo garcia?)

:-)

DC

Stop Press:

Monday suggestion:

It's too late - Carole King





DC

#72 The mention of 'Stone Cold Sober' reminds me that there are at least two other songs of the same designation:

Stone Cold Sober - Paloma Faith - this was played last year on GIO and well worth another spin

Stone Cold Sober - The Faces (or Rod on his Todd)

Re: Bonspiel; Lake of Menteith.

A caller to Graham Stewart's show this morning said that the curling tournament was cancelled because the pitch was frozen.

I heard it was because the ice didn't have enough of a steep slope to make the stoney things scoosh.

Monday

* Tom Jones/Cerys Matthews - Baby It's Cold Outside
* Art of Noise - Opus 4 (OK, it's about November, but it applies)
* Terence Trent D'Arby - Delicate (just feels right somehow)
* Christy Moore - January Man
* Cocteau Twins - Iceblink Luck

Anyone suggesting 'Let it Snow' will be 1st against the wall come the revolution ;-)

#77

Insert Easter Road joke here -->

#78

Indeed CaptRamius, let's try once again for Christy Moore–January Man (but its got to be the version with Declan Sinnott from the 'Live at Vicar Street' Album. A better track on this planet does not exist... in my humble opinion...

#79 You are in trouble now.......

I'd link to my remix/arrangement of Martin Carthy's version, but for the fact I'm still offline at home (where the server lives).

Tuesday

An ironic (in the Alanis sense) suggestion of
The Sawdoctors - Will It Ever Stop Raining?

Is it too soon for another spin for
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Fire?

Definite 2nd for JFE's #15 suggestion of
Roger Waters - Sunset Strip

I've got a great mashup of Heatwave with Floyd's One of These Days but I don't fancy my chances of it getting played.

Cold Monday

I smell winter, The Housemartins
River, Joni Mitchell (since the Clyde is frozen)
Footprints, Barenaked Ladies
Only gay eskimo, Corky & the Juice Pigs

Monday

Cold Ethel - Alice Cooper

Worth a try for Monday's FroZone (but not holding out much hope):

* Runrig - (I See Winter)

McIntosh Ross - Winter Is Coming

I've just been reading through the blog requests for Monday's 'Cold' theme - quite astonishing diversity - if we can't get a great show out of this selection, I'll be amazed... over to you, Bryan

regardez youse

Henri

Monday...

Would it be possible to play something by The Icicle Works on Monday? Remember seeing this mob at Govan Town Hall of all places.

Understanding Jane would be great.

LLIM

Monday

Winter by German grocery heiress Viv Aldi

How could I have forgotten:

Cold Cold Cold - Lidl Feat

Well there you have it, DC, they played one of yours!

That'll make up for your cream puff on Friday.

Who knows, maybe Miss Babs will dig out Fat Old Sun (though, I don't think so - it's several minutes long and not very radio friendly)

#93, eh?

Fat old sun is VERY radio friendly, and can be faded out!

It'll never be played though. My £50 offer for Children In Need was ignored, so it'll hardly be played on Tuesday!!!

DC

#94

It's okay, I was just acting the goat - how did you learn to do that bold type thing?

#60,62,68,69,71 thanks for the welcome, folks, much appreciated.
#68, would consider trading support for one of the above, in return for a recruit to my Frankie Miller campaign?

he has the same teacher as me

97 relates to 95

#96
Count me in

#96 I agree not enough Frankie Miller (or of course Tom Petty ;o) )

So to Tuesday

Fire - Pointer Sisters

In The Heat of The Morning - an early Bowie classic, well worth seeking out espacially the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sessions version

Whitre Light / White Heat - Velvet Underground

and one of my absolute favourites

This Is It (Your Soul) - Hothouse Flowers

a simply wonderful track.

Tuesday.
Blister On The Moon - Taste
