A repeat blog photie?

Its a Mozz hatrick theme:

Friday Mourning - Morrissey

Drive In Saturday - Morrissey

and guess who

Everyday Is Like Sunday - Morrissey

Will it be Friday song, then Saturday, Sunday and back to Friday...

Sounds a rather week theme

Virginia Plane?

Friday Night Saturday Morning' - Specials or Nouvelle Vague

'Saturday Gigs' - Mott The Hoople

American Saturday Night - Brad Paisley

(thanks, Mr Scotch-Git, for bringing this man to my attention)

Paulo, the way she told it, my friend quite possibly swam to Wemyss bay to collect a copy of Painted Smile.

The Specials Friday Night, Saturday Morning

Nick Drake Saturday Sun

Billie Holiday Gloomy Sunday

#8 Agreed on The Specials! (was listening to Nick Drake when I started typing.... lost track of time)

Shawn Colvin - Looking for The Heart of Saturday Night

10,000 Maniacs - Everyday Is Like Sunday

Gaie,

You're very welcome.

Your friend wasn't swimming in Cardigan Bay?

>8-D

#14 protesting too much? ;o)
as for #12 - before I started listening to this programme I had a real aversion to most things Morrissey. Having heard him and The Smiths countless times on the show, I must admit I have actually come to like a few of the songs. Maybe one day we'll have Henri say the same of The Proclaimers.... PMF.

Henri - I can get you a copy of that.

#19

Thanks, Norrie - however, I've inadvertently solved the problem. Before returning to the thread I went off to investigate again, found a decent copy on Amazon and bought it with 'one click'.

That 'one click' thing is really compulsive.

But thanks, I appreciate it.

Well, The Smiths were a mystery to me until I started blogging: just didn't get it. My kids were small when they were about and I wasn't really listening to music that intently or tuned into the zeitgeist at the time.

Last year I took an interest in Kirsty MacColl and noticed the playing on Electric Landlady. Through listening to GIO and the ongoing debate here I began to pay attention. Then, I was listening to Steve Coogan on Desert Island Discs and he chose 'Panic' which I realised was really tight, so downloaded it.

I still don't get it - the lyrics are mince, but the band are really really tight and I love Johnny Marr's playing.

Of course 'the music that they constantly play' says nothing to Morrissey about his life - it's a disco - not a philosophy class - what did you expect? Plato? Panic? You wonder to yourself - about what?

Same problem I have with 'Dignity' - shocking lyric, which for a band named after an unbane Steely Dan track is just depressing.

So I'll give the Proclaimers this - lyrically, they at least don't grate on the nerves - it's everything else about them that does my nut in - mostly that they are revered here (on GIO) in a way which is completely disproportionate to other great Scottish talent: James Grant, Jack Bruce and countless others..

Anyway, I'm pleased to tell you that this summer I bought an album of Smiths singles - they were pretty much a singles band. There's a really neat looking boxed set of singles with original artwork that I quite fancy, too.

Jury out on The Proclaimers...long way to go...Dignity...never!

Big 2nd for Joe's

Saturday Nite - Earth Wind & Fire absolutely their finest but topically, it has a terrible terrible ending that irritates the hell out of me

and Joe's

Sunday Morning - Maroon 5

also Wee Heavy's

Saturday Night - the Blue Nilethough if it's a toss up on Scottish things, The River Detectives deserve to be heard.

also, the short and beautiful

On Saturday Afternoons, 1963 - Rickie Lee Jones

and like Wee Heavy, although I love it, I'll not request The Cure's Friday song, cause my first choice remains with The River Detectives and zillions of others will ask for The Cure.

Previous thread #17 Glen

Not by John Peel and Dave Lee Travis. You are surely referring to namby pamby conservative dj’s who only want to appeal to the masses and not to the cutting edge, forward thinking types whose open mindedness has led to the great admiration and gratitude of real music lovers. Often their legacy is only appreciated years later because, like the music they played, they were AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. A good example of this is the music of NICK DRAKE who died in relative commercial obscurity but is now often played on the wireless by said dj’s and used in commercials even.

#42 - I watched the start of that commercial. It was advertising a cure for insomnizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

#37 - #40 - Aloha, Wee Willie!

;o)

The Weekend Starts Here

* Easybeats - Friday on my Mind
* The Specials - Friday Night, Saturday Morning
* Madness - Saturday Night, Sunday Morning
and the wonderful, incomparable
* Billy Bragg - The Saturday Boy

I know it doesn't have the specific words, but would
* Fatboy Slim - The Weekend Starts Here
be out of the question?

The Jam - Saturdays Kids, a gem.

For reference, since the end of April, we've had the following:

* Easybeats - Friday on My Mind (9th July)
* The Cure - Friday I'm In Love (30th April)

* Bowie - Drive-In Saturday (8th July)
* Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night (3rd May)

* Blondie - Sunday Girl (14th July)
* Laura Nyro - I Met Him On A Sunday (25th May)
* Pearlfishers - Even on a Sunday Afternoon (30th April)

plus a whole *load* on Days of the Week night on 7th June.

Call me Statto... and I'm wearing a tshirt today.

Ah, just remembered the one that's been niggling at me for a couple of hours:

* Billy Bragg - Debris
(as we had The Faces original in June)

Why?
1) It has a brilliantly laid back Sunday vibe
2) Opening Lyric:
I left you on the debris
at the Sunday morning market

It doesn't mention the word directly, but the superlative
* Tom Jones - Burning Hell
is very much Sunday themed - going down to the churchhouse to pray on bended knee.

It may make me look even worse, but I'd like to point out the use of that same photie in April.

You've not seen the trousers I'm wearing

(OK, a nice pair of John Rocha jeans to go with the Cure fanboi shirt)

#63 Too metrosexual. C&A for me.

Did I mishear Bryan - he can't find The River Detectives?

I don't think it was ever released on cd. So will not be on digital system - you should have smuggled a copy in with cake.

It's still up in Queen Margaret Drive , possibility next to Caravan's Golf Girl.

#66/67

I managed to buy a CD version on Amazon last night, there's a few - including a German import with additional tracks.

Bryan will forget to bring his copy in - might be time to get Sister Margaret to make additional Banana loaves again. I've remembered this happened the last time The River Detectives came up on GIO but I couldn't source a copy at the time.

They don't have 'In The Land of Grey & Pink'?

#61

Izzat a Woody?

#65

They cannae find Jake Thackray either. Go figure...
