WEDNESDAY

'I Don't Like Methil' - Michael Marra

Grace Jones The Apple Stretching
A tale of a day in the life of a New Yorker. So glad I don't live in a city, it sounds a bit stressful. But beautifully descriptive lyrics and a really wonderfully laid back chorus.

Snow Patrol - 'Take Back The City'

Might as well combine two of my favourite artists with a Bowie cover of a Springsteen track:

David Bowie - it's Hard To Be A Saint In The City

#1 a bit of an exaggeration to mention Mefful on a blog about cities....

why not.
ABBA Summer Night City

and - for folk like me fed up with the Scottish climate and dreaming of something a bit warmer, there's no harm in remembering that too dry isn't good, either.
Lovin' Spoonful Summer In The City

Both massive klaxon clangers.

A siong about competitive teenage life in the urban sprawl

Joey's on the street again - Boomtown Rats


A great song, one of Bob's best


DC





(and it's got a great wood solo in the middle)

But I do love Mary Dolls Grace Jones track.

This is one of Springsteens best songs and a very suitable message these days:

Bruce Springsteen - My City Of Ruins

ur+ban听adj.听1.听of, relating to, or constituting a city or town. 2. living in a city or town.

Have to get in a Piaf song in somewhere.
Blog hog mary-doll choosing not to list a whole shedload of more city stuff if only this one gets played. All the rest can be left to someone's discretion.

Edith Sous Le Ciel De Paris

Gutsy, spirited, romantic, sweet, evocative. A bit like Paris itself. (OK, I'm just being pretentious. It's a fabulous song in its own right.)

;o)

From the playlist a fair amount of sax and violins appears to have crept in.

* Pink Floyd -
* Beatles - (is in my ears and in my eyes)
* Beastie Boys -

You could have a Jam packed show tonight (In the City, Tube Station at Midnight, Going Underground)

But I'll go with

Sound of the Suburbs - Members
5705 - City Boy

'a kiss from wishaw cross'..............peter nardini

cheers frae the dale

#39

Any chance of Michael Marra's very, very fine version of Mother Glasgow instead of Hue & Cry's (which we played last time around IIRC)?

We'll absolve him of being a Dundonian for the duration.

Empire State Of Mind - Jay Z

or what about the Glasgow version? Paolo has the link.


#39 - Take it that your second on the list was just a tease, D_K?

Would be great to hear Nina Simone's loping reggae influenced reading of Randy Newman's wry commentary on a city in decline,"Baltimore".Brilliant bass and drums from Will Lee and Andy Newmark.Her last truly great performance(imho).Other "Urban" choices include Laura Nyro's extraordinary "New York Tenderberry" which captures the spirit of the ultimate city or her beautiful cover of Goffin/King's love letter to N.Y."Up on the Roof" Lastly ingenue Joni Mitchell and the first song I ever heard her sing way back in 1968,simply produced by David Crosby ,"Night in the City"Cheers ,Willie Bartke

In our urban/country split, where are we placing towns?

#40.............nah we cannae hav michael tonite..........i'm waiting on the theme........'single names songs about goalies'...come tae think of it..that song would do for tomorro's rural country theme.......'up at tannadice.........a small rurality of angus


cheers frae the dale

#41........until the duo bring out a remix entitled....'sunshine on cupar'.........then leith it is for the noo.we are pluralists here.


cheers frae the dale

#43 - surrounded by country

Towns:
* The Saw Doctors - All The Way from Tuam
* The Saw Doctors - Sugar Town
* Dream Academy - Life in a Northern Town
(wonderful tribute to Nick Drake)

* Fairport Convention - London River
* Billy Bragg - Debris
(isn't the Sunday Morning Market just the ultimate urban experience?)
* Michael Marra - Mother Glasgow
* Broooooooooce - Atlantic City( from the is really, really good)

Very odd - I tried to title #48 with
Cities:
and was told that it failed the profanity filter

BB last night: 鈥淭he more unusual the better鈥� 鈥� Really? Why, then, do you fill the programme with more of the usual?

Longing for 'Goodbye Toulouse' ... The Stranglers, however would be grateful for:

'Wigan work it out' ... The Fab 4
'Slough hands' ... Interpol
'Can I get a Widnes' ... Marvin Gaye
'Josie gets religion on a night out in Kirkcaldy ... Desert Rose
'Sealed with a Glasgow kiss' ... Carter (the unstoppable sex machine)
'New York state of mind' ... Pre-Brinkley gem from Billy Joel
'A Mexican funeral in Paris' ... The Pogues
'Rome' ... Performance
'A foggy day in London town' ... Ella Fitzgerald

I'm in a New York state of mind so two more suggestions.
On Broadway George Benson or The Drifters
Nights on Broadway Candi Staton,Cheers,Willie Bartke

Concrete and Clay - Kevin Rowland

Microdisney -- Town to Town

Sweet Suburbia -- Skids

Start a Band - Brad Paisley and Keith Urban

FrankInDenny - Sweet Suburbia is a great suggestion.

Talking Heads - 'Cities' or Siouxsie & The Banshees - "Cities in Dust'

Skids - Out of Town for the country night! Masquerade b side version better than Absolute Game version.

Rush Hour - Jane Wiedlin

The Only Living Boy In New York- Simon&Garfunkel
Dirty Old town- the pogues
Belfast Child- Simple Minds

I loved the way Bryan made sure that everyone knows 'Villages' will be included in tomorrow's 'Rural' show, thereby ensuring that someone will request 'The Village Green Preservation Society', preferably Kate Rusby's cover version.

Nae wunner they cry him 'The Red Fox'

>8-D

Odds on then that Adam will second your shout for the village people?

Tuesday:

Huge second for Scotch Git's

"In the Young Farmers" - Village People

Or even two or three
So dollies hind legs could fit in yer wellies

Had it been 'Heart of Midlothian' we could dedicate it to Julie.

Jimmy Sommerville's a pain in the [Expletive removed by the moderators.]

Trash City.....

#73

They did, but there was never any danger of sullying GiO with 80s Prog.

That said, I was pleasantly surprised that we avoided the QI Klaxon on Pet Shop Boys, Deacon Blue and the Blue Nile.

Nice last minute bodyswerve on each.
