No doubt about it, tonight's most surprising pop fact was the revelation that one of Dollar used to operate a burger van after the hits dried up. I enjoyed hearing all the stories of hairdressers and helicopter pilots that came out of tonight's theme of 'pop stars and their jobs'.
Despite the wee flurry of snow that we had this afternoon, I am reliably informed that spring is on the way so that will form tomorrow's theme. It's time for us to spring clean the music collection and play songs about new beginnings and fresh starts.
Eric Clapton Let It Grow Lovely doggy, please stop bounding all over the snowdrops and crocuses desperately trying to establish themselves in our garden. The grass could do with less of your fancy footwork ball chasing, too. Thank you.
It's a new dawn, it's a new day Huff & Herb remix of Feeling Good Nina Simone on her own would do nicely, too. Just haven't heard the H&H one for a bit.
A New Day Has Begun - Roddy Woomble Better days - The Goo Goo Dolls
also
Asleep On A Sunbeam - Belle and Sebastian
"Think about a new destination If you think you need inspiration Roll out the map and mark it with a pin I will follow every direction Just lace up your shoes While I’m fetching a sleeping bag, a tent . . . ."
Spring fever - Orleans Today I started lovin' you again - Emmylou Harris Southbound train/Listen to the radio - Nanci Griffith You can sleep (while I drive) - Trisha Yearwood It's time I tried - Allison Moorer I thought you should know - Steve Earle Los tiempos van cambiando - Franky Perez My opening farewell - Jackson Browne I'll take care of you - Joe Bonamassa 24 hours from Tulsa - Gene Pitney By the time I get to Phoenix - Glen Campbell
.....and the obvious................ "Some one like you" - Adele
Some great folk tracks that hearld the spring for me..
The Snows They Melt The Soonest: Dick Gaughan Follow The Heron: Karine Polwart (The back of the winter is broken) Gloomy Winter: Dougie Maclean (Gloomy Winters' noo awa)
Now lets get that harrow fixed-up to the old David Brown and get out there!
"here comes the sun" =steve harley & cockney rebel "mr blue sky" OR "hold on tight"= elo "get it right next time" = gerry rafferty "wont get fooled again" = the who "let the day begin" = the call "new world in the morning" = roger whittaker "pick yourself up" = frank sinatra OR louis armstrong "we're going to change the world" = matt monroe "i'll find my way home" =jon & vangelis "move on up" = curtis mayfield "back in the high life again" = steve winwood "positive thinking" = morecambe & wise "next year" = foo fighters "dont stop believing" = journey "stand" = rem "castles in the air" = don mclean
Maybe you dream but it tastes like poison I'm gonna take that tiger outside for a ride With a bit of luck I'll get all the boys on And perhaps they'll play this on Radio Clyde
sorry folks yes, seems there's a problem posting on the new thread - you can email us getiton@bbc.co.uk - meantime we're working on getting it fixed for you. Miss B
