Hey Kene, Wonder if a change to MACKenzie would help???

Monday-

The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise ~ DEVO

Refreshment break. Trevor and Jill deserve one with all that mad intrigue enveloping them as they endeavour to be just decent folks in a very strange world. They don't make 'em like they used to.

Which brings me to this:

Peter Skellern You're A Lady

How could anyone resist a man who's prepared to wear his heart on his sleeve with such vulnerability and lyrical beauty? Absolutely one of the loveliest songs ever about just saying what you mean, and if it means you make a fool of yourself, so be it. Shit, as they say, happens.

Anyway, off for the next installment.

Are we allowed to use the sh word these days?



Shoundsh shooper.....

'For My Lady' - The Moody Blues ~ Supporting DC (see #6)



A certain Mr. Nardini penned a song about how Weedgie men declare their undying devotion.

This is a wee gem...

#11 Sound advice! CBT also avoids the complusion to immediately cry victim!

Mon. B-side on the single release of Tommy Gun 1-2 Crush On You with it's pop harmonies & false ending add to its harmless appeal!

Jackanory, Jackanory, Jackanory...

Adele's version of Dylan's 'Make You Feel My Love' is beautiful...sigh!

#16 - Julie - have you heard Trisha Yearwood's (better) version?

J

#17. No I haven't...If BB thinks Trisha's version would be the better one to play then let's hear it! That's one of the best things about GIO...exposure to music you've not heard before :o)

That song is one of the choices for the X Factor 'singers'. Maybe this week I'll ask for good versions of songs I've heard murdered on X Factor!

The majority of bloggers are between 40 and death, and you don't reach our advanced years without having a romantic episode or 3.

One for the discerning, mature listener;

'Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You' -


I salute our discernability!

#19, Good point Scotch, which is why this theme is perhaps the biggest of all in terms of potential material!
There can't be an artist on the planet who hasn't dealt with this and if they haven't they will have said something about the other type of relationship i.e temporary flings, to put it mildly ;-)
In discounting possible stuff for Monday i've noticed there are plenty of these too, which could provide another theme. e.g

Day Tripper, Love the One You're With, This Could Be The Last Time, etc.

Oh, and of course I'm not condoning this type of behaviour ;-D

'You're the one for me fatty' by Stephen Patrick morrissey
'Gorecki' by Lamb - the finest declaration of love in the opening lines

As someone I knew used to say, love you more than Morrissey!!
Now that's a hell of a statement of love in my book...

Let the Moz onslaught begin, bring it on!!

romance eh? knew there was something missing all those years.

And I Love You So - Emmylou Harris
My Girl - Temptations
Bad Case of Loving You - Robert Palmer
You Got It - Roy Orbison

Not Like Loving You - Nell Bryden
A Thing About You - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Lost in Your Eyes - Jeff Healey
Rather Go Blind - Chicken Shack
Gladly Go Blind - Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

and honest, these last two aren't meant to be bad taste after Jeff Healey, who is someone I think should be given a play on GIO, she said pointlessly.

I used to enjoy Norrie's input in in the blog.

Alas I fear Maria's challenge this week has been too much for him.

Norrie,

Re: #10

DC did it and ran away. Get him telt!


Re: #21

Have we unleashed a monster, or is Maria merely ingratiating herself with our beloved presenter?

LORD have mercy!

At the risk of forming a mutual appreciation society Ninas version of WITW is second only to you know who.

Ambrosia went from prog to soft rock to jazzy soul. In my AOR phase about 30 years ago, they featured regularly on Gambos American Chart countdown on a Saturday morning......or was it afternoon. It was when I woke up anyway!

oops #35 referred to #31

#35 ssshhhh

#33 Norrie

Yes its the Lennon song and Glen does a great job...

David Bowie Be My Wife

Would post a link to the 1977 video, but it's a bit disturbing. It's from before he got his teeth fixed.

#35 While Nina's version is really good, DB's version is by far the best I've heard...Poor Mr M is probably knawing his own arm off in frustration!!

Can I have a dedication please, you know the song, to the girl who let me "...live my days instead of countin' my years". Ciao amici, MadhufromEdinburgh

Did I hear right on Friday? BB has a playlist? Therefore listeners’ requests only get played if they’re already on the playlist? So we are not really requesting what we want to hear, we are just guessing what’s on the playlist?

Is
GIVIN’ MY LOVE TO YOU from ANGEL’S EGG (RADIO GNOME INVISIBLE PART 2) by GONG
On the playlist?

No, wait, let me guess…….

#49 thanks for the update Scotch, been so worried about poor Senga ;-)

#16, 17 If Trisha's version is better than Adele's then it must be sensational!

Aye some of them almost as good as his Bobness....

#60, no argument there Norrie
