Next week's themes...
I'm hoping to persuade Miss Babs to put on a ballgown and her posh pearls for Thursday's theme, however there is more chance of me getting smacked across the wrists with her baton! Get It On goes classical for the night. It's certainly going to be different but I know that you won't let me down with the usual varied mix of quality suggestions.
Monday
Stuart McMillan suggests days of the week as a theme. These can be in the song or artist title so that's anything from the Happy Mondays to Friday, I'm in Love.
Tuesday
As the World Cup kicks off on Friday we thought we'd get ourselves in the mood with a suitable theme. So, it's songs about and music from the nations in the World Cup. Will you score with Big In Japan or will Spanish Stroll have you cheering from the sidelines?
Wednesday
Tonight we are looking for your recommendations and top tips. The theme is roughly 'if you like x, then you'll like y'. For instance, if you like Lady Gaga then you'll probably like Grace Jones. If you like Arcade Fire then you might like Echo And The Bunnymen. It's your chance to turn on your fellow music lovers to acts they previously might not have considered.
Thursday
The 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra celebrates it's 75th birthday with a big weekend of orchestral music at The City Halls in Glasgow so to celebrate Get It On goes classical for one night only. It's two hours of the best classical pieces ever - as chosen by you.

In May, 1996, one of my pals phoned up and said;
"We're all going to the Barrowland on Wednesday to see Whigfield, you commin?"
Our lot have fairly eclectic taste, so, somewhat surprised, I found myself agreeing to go.
It wasn't until I turned up in the pub beforehand that I realised that he'd transmitted the name incorrectly: we were about to witness the first performance in Scotland of Leftfield.
What a night that was! The band came on stage - one of them walk up to a keyboard and press a bass note. The note comes along the floor and goes through you. Never experienced anything like it. The Ballroom had complaints about the noise from 5 streets away.
Of course, it could have been the booze, but I don't think so.

I'm hugely up for Thursday and our adventure with requests for classical music.
'Benedictus' from 'The Armed Man' - Karl Jenkins
Radio friendly, moving, melodic and, with the hope of peace, written for those involved in soldiering. Beautiful, your producer will know how to take off the first couple of minutes, which repeat before the choir come in.Karl Jenkins used to be the keyboard player in Soft Machine in another life.
Samuel Barber - Agnus Dei -String Quartet in B minor Op 11: David Hill (not of Slade fame) and the Winchester Cathedral Choir. (EMI 50999 2 28275 2 4 )
Everyone knows Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' - this is the Choral version which, if anything, is even more beautiful and immensely more powerful.You'll be blown away.

love Morrissey, especially the classic Vauxhall and I, then you may
like Jacques Brel and his final masterpiece Brel.

I think this theme is a great opportunity to point people in the direction of things you think are better. And similarly point out new artists which you think might appeal to listeners.
If you like:
Oasis (setting aside any jibes about Oasis) then you cannot fail to love Ian Hunter, especially the All American Alien Boy lp with Jaco Pastorius and David Sanborn in the band.
If you like Stevie Nicks style Fleetwod Mac - then check out Lissie and her great single In Sleep.
I know you don't fancy the theme but give it chance!
