Yeehaw, indeed. Keep it Country!

May I suggest Woebegone Wednesday, just to slow things down a wee bit.

And Theological Thursday. The bloggers might prefer Thrawn Thursday.


Honestly, Uncle Vic! Whit ur they like?

;o)

Ìý
Contd.

Also, the word Manic does not mean what the team obviously thinks it means.

It'll be a much more interesting show if we go with the dictionary definition...


>8-D

Don't listen to that street preacher Vic

DC

MONDAY



A hint of madness...

Steve Earle -

A song which reminds my wife of our "courtin'" years......

Kiss and say goodbye - Kate & Anna McGarrigle


DC in Cellardyke

Helloooooo uncle vic!

Bryans no a bad presenter but he's only got two or three Bob Seger tracks and he's no got the one that you are gonna play on monday

Get out of Denver / Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

Live bullet version if poss

Ta!

from the excellent 'Arena' album ...

'Mad' ~~ Todd Rundgren

'Bipolar' ~~ Charlene Soraia

... kinda catchy

Can someone tell me what the song is that starts Uncle Vic's own programme because I love it but haven't a clue what it is and it would be perfect for Manic Monday.

also

White Knuckle Ride - The Real McKenzies

Grace - The View

Month of May - Arcade Fire

and to finish

We're All Going to Die - Malcolm Middleton

Confused again, naturally. Is this just about day one? If so, is it alliteration or speed you want? Or both? The two aren't the same. The use of one may imply the other, but......I feel there are several days of themes mashed in there but not explicitly revealed. As for delving into mental health issues as themes (hidden in another guise).. I really don't think it's appropriate to play with "hints" at "madness" for the sake of entertainment for 1 hr and 50 minutes. Remember the 1 in 4. I'd rather hear fast stuff that wasn't alliterative to songs that might allude to mental ill-health which were only played because they fitted the playlist.
Vic - I'm sure you have a sensitive enough soul to do something with this...... all I'm saying is - you need to repitch it a bit differently. ;o)

Koka Kola ~~ T. Clash
Bitches Brew ~~ Inspiral Carpets
See-Saw ~~ Don Covay
Barra Barra ~~ Rachid Taha
Spin Spin Sugar ~~ Sneaker Pimps

#10

And I thought it was only pop music

I'm for a pint of #10 please

Manic behaviour caused by pteromerhanophobia?



This flight tonight - Nazareth

I'm with the Doll on this one. Its a multi theme.

"alliteration"
"songs that sound like they're in a hurry" (Dont Stop Me Now sort of thing - NAR*)
"songs that speed along" (fast songs)
"songs that dont outstay their welcome" (short songs)
"songs that hint at madness"


How as the theme been described on the other side?




*Not A Request

Song him fast

Fast Moshing

"The Nips Are Getting Bigger" ~~ Mental As Anything

Until told otherwise by the Snr. Producer / young Victor...


Twisted ~~ Annie Ross
Institutionalized ~~ Suicidal Tendencies
Psychotic Reaction ~~ T. Count Five
Paranoid ~~ Black Sabbath
Mind Playing Tricks on Me ~~ T. Geto Boys
Take Pills ~~ Panda Bear
4.48 Psychosis ~~ Tindersticks
House on the Hill ~~ Kevin Coyne
The Letter ~~ Kristin Hersh
Mr Whisper ~~ Dory Previn

- Savoy Brown

#10, #15


I disagree. The alliterative aspect applies only to the theme title. (see here)

I'm sure we can come up with something better than Tuneful Tuesday for the remaining shows.

Warren (Zevon) Wednesday

Thackray Thursday

Friedman Friday


C'way, Uncle Vic! Geeza show that's pure radio!!!

Adam,

Assuming #21 is correct, one song which will not make the cut is Manic Monday.

Also, (ironically), something of a relief...

re 3

not me old chap ........... i'm a alien

I see what you mean Scotch. So no "alliteration" songs then.

Previously on the Show...
I see from the playlist that Brass in Pocket kicked off Friday. Was that DC's Pretenders story again? Thats getting to be as much of a tradition as Clouds Across The Moon!

#36

Mean, your name's not Colin by any chance is it?

MONDAY



Me Neither -


Keep it Country!

:o)

I've no

#40
Good shout eig, though it did remind me of this

You're right, inasmuch as they both use musical notes, but shouldn't you be getting ready for the World Cup?

re 38

lol ... only on Fridays AFR ...

seems like this is the one to beat!!!

'Thousand' ~~ Moby

can't see even uncV playing this

Totally off topic but I would just like to say

Sunday Night
Bottle of red

#43
On the other days of the week you are from Mars.. an' don't forget it!

is it me chiseled jaw line?

All We Make is Entertainment - The Manic Street preachers

and

for the multi-faceted madmac, who used to be on this blog

Non Stop - The Stranglers

Monday morning
Empty bottle
Deafening sound of Rice Krispies

Monday:

Jerry Harrison - Rev It Up

New Order - Run Wild

#49
Shhh!

meanwhile...over on Facebook...after a trickle of requests for songs about craziness, the production team are at pains to emphasise they don't only want 'crazy music' but also 'fast upbeat tuneful tunes...songs that perk you up at the beginning of the week'...

I'll add this to my short list...I know Mary Doll likes this one too:

'You're To Blame' - fast-ish, tuneful, happy, jazzy wee song from Elizabeth McQueen of (Asleep At The wheel). Cleverly done video too.

#42
Plenty of time!!!

#52
I thought the Git said it was Tuneful night tomorrow?

I see that NASA are almost on to you Mr Bonfire ...




Doug McCuisition, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters:

"We're flying to Mars. We'll get it on the ground... and see what we find."

Mean Kene and Mars

What was wrong with Madmac?

I quite liked that name.

I think Mars is out of this world

#54 It'll take more than NASA, btw no, no not the chiseled jaw but the black eyes and twelve o'clock shadow!
#55 Nope, none of the aforementioned.
#56 Very observant DC.

Welcome Uncle Vic

A chance to let your inner soul boy out for the night:

Faster - Janelle Monae

Perfect for this theme, sounds manic and having watched Ms Monae live, manic is the least of it. Utterly Brilliant.

regardez vous

henri

......totally off this planet

Scottish trade mission must feel at home in Rio with rain and deserted beaches. Please buy our Lorne sausage.

fresh from the blog (as requested) ...

'Magnetic Baby' ~~ Semi Precious Weapons

Been trying for ages uncVic ... are you the man?

PS ... to (possibly) heighten interest, it was SPW who gave (their good friend) Lady Gaga her first break when they asked her to support them on some of their NYC gigs. She then reciprocated by asking them to support her on the 'Monster Ball' tour.

Hey, Hey, double prizes tonight!
