Positively 4th Street - Bob Dylan

one dong that is definitely not about love!

regardez youse

Henri

#1 eh , that's 'song'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DC

#1/2

almost as bad as Bryan's mis-pronunciation of the 'dixie chicks' on Friday night's show.

TUESDAY
another chance for me to try and get
So Far From the Clyde - Mark Knopfler
played. C'mon GIO, I know it's a bit long (5.59) but there are other folks have said they'd like to hear it and it is an excellent song

Well, that's Monday's "brilliant interactive" edition done. It was interactive, but the music was very predictable and downright boring.

The more interactive it becomes, the more turgid and predictable the music becomes.

Soon it'll turn into "Family Favorites with Sam Costa".

Auld Archie's been replaced with more guff about Scottish Song hosted by Barbara Dickson.

It's enough to make you weep.

Tuesday

Wall all the soings thye Boss writes are about cars, but here he has a nautical theme

Bruce Springsteen / Roseanne Cash - Sea of Heartbreak

#5

You could always ask Barbara Dickson to play it?

Tuesday

Well all the songs the Boss writes are about cars, but here he has a nautical theme

Bruce Springsteen / Roseanne Cash - Sea of Heartbreak

glad I checked that before posting it.

TUESDAY:

Missed one Norrie...'We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful' - Morrissey :-)

TUESDAY
I tried to find a song that covered as many emotions as possible but not love...
Fall Out Boy - "I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me"
Covers Surprise, Sadness and Anger I reckon!

Julie - I mis-read the theme completely!!

#11 and maybe Joy at one stage...

TUESDAY
Simple Things - Paulo Nutini
a happy song - about the 'easy 'took for granted' things' ie family and doing simple family things

Final Trawl - Archie Fisher
a sad song - found this one last week when looking for a song for Thursday. About the dwindling fishing stocks and the loss of a livelihood

The Last DJ - Tom Petty
an angry song - railing against the music industry


I suspect I've missed the point here but there's a lot of emotion in each of these - they just don't exactly say so, which is where I expect I'm getting it wrong.

Gaie,

I wasn't having a go at Inverclyde, I was laughing at Bearsden. When I was growing up in Springburn the nearest cul-de-sac was in Bishopbriggs.

>8-D

TUESDAY:

'Starry Eyed SURPRISE' - Paul Okenfold / Crazy Town
'JOY To The World' - Three Dog Night
'Heavy Makes You HAPPY' - Bobby Bloom
'HAPPY Song' - Otis Redding
'NERVOUS Wreck' - Radio Stars
'When I Laugh' - Toots and the Maytals
'Tonight I Feel So Far Away From ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ' - Steve Forbert (beautiful sad song)

#12 Did you? Don't think so. Good song anyway :-)

WEDNESDAY:

'Part Of Your Furniture' by Mickey Jupp (specifically mentions the bedroom). Good bit of pub rock.

#15 I was only joking myself, Scotch - feel free to have a go at Inverclyde any time, I love an excuse to jump on my soapbox and do a bit of shouting
TUESDAY cont

Jealous Guy - Frankie Miller
Against the Wind - Bob Seger

TUESDAY

'Sam Stone' - John Prine ~ Sadness at the sheer waste of a life.

'The Dreaming' - Kate Bush ~ Rage at the exploitation of native Australians.

'Fifteen Minutes' - Kirsty MacColl ~ Extreme cynicism born out of the 'Celebrity Culture'

'455 Rocket' - Kathy Mattea ~ Everyone who has ever owned a powerful car knows the sense of pride you feel. Trouble is, that pride can get you killed.

#1

Izzat a

>8-D

WEDNESDAY:

'Mrs Bartalozzi' - Kate Bush (Hall, Kitchen)
A song about doing the laundry...or is it?

#18

Gaie,

Thank you for reminding me...

TUESDAY

'Against the Wind' - Máire Brennan ~ Not sure what it's about. Not love.

I dont know if this song exactly meets the theme. A Rodney Crowell song first sung by Emmylou Harris I'm pretty sure and Willie Nelson did a reasonable version on the Honeysuckle Rose movie with Emmylou, but this version is incredible. Willie should do a proper studio version! (maybe he has)

Van Morrison - 'Til I Gain Control again

lyrics that I hope may get it included are:

"I've never gone so wrong for telling lies to you"

WEDNESDAY:

'Dream Kitchen' - Frazier Chorus

LOVELESS TUESDAY

Sad: Another Day - Paul McCartney

Happy: Joybringer - Manfred Mann

Paul from Ayr

TUESDAY:

'Mind Of A Toy' - Visage (Spiteful Girl, Hateful Boy).

Wednesday
Soft Cell Bedsitter - it's just the one room, but it's very bijou

Note that the tardiness of the posting of this weeks themes has caused a bit of a stir.


TUESDAY

David Watts - The Jam (Envy)

Man! Not seen the blog for a while and I come back to see post #1! Fantastic. ROFL!

#20/32

Not a Freudian slip, I'm afraid (unlike Mr Burnett on Friday),I simply hit the wrong key (s/d are next to each other).

seconds for Steve forbert, Joybringer and Bob Seger /Against the wind' although I think he'd a thing for Janey in that song. Gaie the best chinese takeaway is in Inverclyde and mr Raymond is a very nice guy.

Tuesday
Superman / Five for Fighting
Big River / Jimmy Nail
In the days before Rock and Roll / Van Morrison
Comfortably Numb / Pink Floyd
A Day to Myself / Clifford T Ward (often picked by Scotch)
Silent Sigh / Badly Drawn Boy
dolphins make me cry / Martyn Joseph

Another for Tuesday:

'I Never Cry' - Alice Cooper (heartache, loneliness...lovely ballad)

#35 it's going to be hard I should think to decide when a sad song for instance is not still a love song.
So where is the takeaway? I only know Ben and Sue - not Mr Raymond!

Depressing Tuesday:

Sunday mornin' comin' down - Kris Kristofferson

Has to be one of the most lonely but common feelings in today's society.

Loneliness made up for through too much drink




:-(





DC

#1 Thought you had a cold there Henri - and I second that request. Songs that aren't about love, could get picky as many songs ostensibly about hate are about love gone bad, but how about;

Roadrunner - Jonathan Richman
The Israelites - Desmond Dekker
Polly - Nirvana
Beds are Burning - Midnight Oil
Fortunate Son - John Fogerty
Harper Valley PTA - Jeannie C Riley (I shouldn't like it, but I do)

As post #1 so poetically points out, love and lust are not the same thing. If you feel the need to confirm this as you consider my request please consult a woman.


For Tuesday - Fever - Peggy Lee - A lust song

;o)

Tuesday:

The Temptations - Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today

needs no further comment! A classic.

Bob Dylan - She's Your Lover Now

Great Bob Dylan track

"Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn’t it?
Why didn’t you just leave me if you didn’t want to stay?
Why’d you have to treat me so bad?
Did it have to be that way?
Now you stand here expectin’ me to remember somethin’ you forgot to say"

Tuesday; That Petrol Emotion- Big Decision. appropriate for tonights theme and the day the next election was finally announced.

LOUGH FOYLE from A GLINT AT THE KINDLING by ROBIN WILLIAMSON
contains the following emotions (and probably a few more, but not love).

Pride, joy, disappointment, sadness, rashness, remorse…..

Tuesday - NOT Love Dongs:
Lonely Boy - Andrew Gold (if you want something really mainstream :-)
It Happened Today - Curved Air (play it - you already played Back Street Luv!)
Waiting To Die - Zero 7 (global warming is a biatch)
Little Boxes - Pete Seeger (classic!)
Mr Blue Sky - ELO (what else?)
The Black Hit Of Space - The Human League (needs more airplay!)
On Horseback - Mike Oldfield (more to MO than TB you know!)
Five Miles Out - Mike Oldfield (about a near plane crash)
Another Love Song - Queens Of The Stone Age (cut the last bit of dialogue)
Cam Ye O'er Frae France - Steeleye Span

Attention peeps! ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ radio station online streams details :

Garden Valley Dougie MacLean
(This is really not my home, Oh where are you my lovely Jenny?

Bruce Springsteen - Candys Room

other thoughts

Ian Hunter - Lounge Lizard

#59

Scroll down. Click on Knock yourself out.

>8-D

#64
Well now that Ricky Martin has come out it may well be a topical time to do it.

#61

I 100% agree, Gaie. GIO seems to have a dislike for blues: I don't know why.

But it should be rectified, can we have a blues night,please?

regardez youse

Henri

Great show tonight. Good dongs.

#68

Yep, a huge improvement on last nights interactive dongs!

Our blog keeps the show from sliding into vox - pop mediocrity.

Anyone been listening to Mary O'Hairy tonight - great show!

#67cheers, Henri. And can't believe I missed White Room - second that for sure.

Wednesday

The Hall of Mirrors ~ Kraftwerk
Hall of Mirrors ~ Siouxsie & the Banshees
Soul Kitchen ~ T.Doors
Sitting in my Room ~ T.Ramones
Legend In My Living Room ~ Annie Lennox
Little Hotel Room ~ Ray Charles

Sorry 'Enri but I'd prefer Hugh Cornwell's cover of White Room...

#71

Actually, there are later versions by Jack Bruce as a solo artist which blow all previous versions out of the water.

The GIO/Radio Scotland team have no interest in the music of one of Scotland's truly original talents - though I did once persuade them to play an Ella cover of 'Sunshine of your Love'.

Will be hearing Jack Bruce on the Barbara Dickson Scottish Songbook Show - or will it be 'Sunshine on Leith'?

No contest, really, is it?

regradez vous

henri

WHOOPS... Gambling Bar Room Blues ~ S.A.H.B.

Yup, not just The Blues BUT Rhythm & Blues... 9 Below Zero @ last!

Not to be confused with something called 'R&B'?

Mary o'Hairy - fabulous show tonight - the new John Peel.

Aye, not to be confused with R&B!

#73. Yes Mac...9 Below Zero!!!!

Wednesday:
'Superstar' - 'Lobby' Fiasco featuring Matthew Santos
'Mulder and Scullery' - Catatonia

Wednesday:

Perfect opportunity to at last play 'Your Honour' by Pluto Shervington (I was inside de closet, mindin' I and I own business). A closet is a room within a room after all.

Julie,

Is there a song about the cupboard under the stairs?

Scotch,

I did wonder :o)

#78, 79 see #60
Doon in the Wee Room - underneath the stairs

#80. I do like the McCalmans version of that but I'm not usually makin' merry in my cupboard...usually fighting my way through golf bags, wellies and tennis racquets trying to locate my record collection!

#78/79/80/81

There's probably more than one - it sounds like a Mary O'Hairy thing, she'd know.

Actually, i've just checked Spotify and right enough - 'the wee room under the stairs' by 'studio group' on 'world music ireland vol 3' - I knew it would be a Mary O'Hairy thing.

well, it's not Motown Chartbusters Vol 3: but, people who like this sort of thing will find this is the sort of thing they like.

Great track from the 90's:

Alishias Attic - I am, I Feel

Wednesday:

Get the blues in along with a good song & a great guitarist -

Come in to my kitchen - Eric Clapton

My real request for Wednesday is:

Stairway to heaven - Led Zep

You have to start this at 19.59.50 which gives you exactly 10 seconds to talk about Thursday's show before the news comes on.

Please get Babs telt







;-)




DC

Memo to DC. When calculating figures, type in the correct set and not the first part of your calculation. You should have written 19.51.46 start time

You have been telt; deh dae'd again

Paul from Ayr

#90 Well Happy Birthday anyway!

#84 yes, #60 EC - that was a good suggestion of mine, wasn't it DC!

#85, 86 Many thanks for helpful back time DC...I did wonder why you only wanted 10 seconds of the track! Not me tonight tho, so you'll need to wait and see if the "producer of the night" is equally impressed.

Miss Babs,

When Karen Miller deigns to leave a comment it appears on a dinky lavender background. Or is it mauve? (see the scroll bar)

A lady in your esteemed position deserves a dinky background. Make it so!

WEDNESDAY

'Get Your Buisquits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed' - Kinky Friedman

BRING ME THE BEDROOM OF ALFREDO GARCIA!

#91 Great suggestion seconded by me (missed it first time round). Me & Mr Johnson is a good album.

Not sure why you mentioned EC in that post though

Has anyone mentioned a Bob Dylan song from PatGarret& Billy the Kid?
