Good taste / bad taste
Tonight's show was a great laugh and there were some outrageous tales of 'borrowing'. There were stories of people hanging on to their mate's records for thirty years or more.
It also prompted a series of texts from folk who realised they had lent out stuff and never got it back. One women lent her entire cassette collection of Paul Simon albums and hasn't seen them in decades.
Tomorrow night I want you to further confess. Pick two songs: one cool...and one not so cool. We will play one of them, but the question is which one? Prepare to expose your musical split personality!

Nothing from the Blog on the show tonight.
Still, with just 30 posts and only 7 of them with shouts, its not surprising.

Here is a song from a man who can "wear a hat". Quines whom I have consulted tell me he is a Bonny Loon! And I find his self-deprecating humour quite endearing.
Me Neither - Brad Paisley
Another man who can "wear a hat". This song earned him the National Oranization for Women's Male Chauvinist Pig of the Year award in 1974
Get Your Buisquits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed - Kinky Friedman
I think they're both pretty cool!

We almost had back to back Proclaimers between Wednesday and Thursday (just one song inbetween).
There has to be some rule against that. Shurely.

When I was in 'Terminale' (that is to say the year when you take the Baccalauréat), our teacher of philosophy [Sylvette] told us about the famous bearded father of psychoanalysis whom she sometimes half mockingly referred to as 'Tonton Freud' or Uncle Sigmund. I have seen a number of head shrinkers in the past yet not any of them has ever told me that I suffer from a split personality.
As for music, well like I have said before... each to his / her own.
I can listen to Rickie LEE JONES' 'Chuck E.'s in love' then play 'Frühling in Paris by Nina HAGEN. Does that reveal a split personality?
Friendly greetings to all.

Jeez Oh, Adam - I thought mine were bad, but I've just checked it and painfully reminded myself that it does, of course, contain one of the world's worst rhymes Classic/Attic.. just dreadful, and typical of the Hairy Cornflake to like such utter guff. No wonder I'm not a fan. I mean, our hero would never play mince like that..

Henri, I really dont understand why you have it in for The HC!
I've written several time to GIO HQ suggesting they get him on the show when Bryan goes on holiday.
Tony Blackburn would be another good sub. If Bryan wants to get his talking over the intros right he should listen to Pick of the Pops and learn from the Master. Old school dj-ing at its best.
