2nd Pick......a classic debut recording famously destroyed, I mean covered, by the Pixie from Oz.

Tears on my Pillow / Little Anthony and the Imperials

3rd pick....from my favourite album of the last 5 years

The Moon is a blind eye / I am Kloot

4th Pick

Has anyone ever retina thing for you / Stevie Nicks

2nds for the Dramatics. Was in my original 23 but Julie got in and cut my list to 22.

#10 Have we had tuba solos as a theme?

#33 eh no...but I can think of a playlist of 2 songs for it.

Gaie - I only suggested the Code. I cant be expected to police it from over here, now can I.

Do "blind" songs really fit the theme?? ".....we will also accept songs about what you do with them" suggests, perhaps not.


#33
Is there a tuba solo in "Eye Level" ?

From my long email list :

i can See clearly now = johnny nash
the night has a thousand Eyes = bobby vee
Look through any window = the hollies
Iris = the goo-goo dolls

Eye level is Buy level

#36

You're a fine example to the Code Patrick, in your de-mccafinated Blog mode!

Long lists are just laziness and show a lack of discipline.

Ìý
Agreed! But I still wanna see this code.


Unless you're just making it up as you go along...

'Swastika Eyes' ~~~ Primal Scream

#40 Top shout Rex... btw whur's the Snr Producer... Easter was over a week ago! >;-0

The picture above of Peter Brough & Archie Andrews with Beryl Reid reminds me that also worked with them. Brough must have been the most successful radio ventriloquist ever. I never saw his lips move.

#41 an excellent Steve Forbert suggestion JTJM

Meet me on the cornea / Lindisfarne

'And in that Rolls Royce was the Queen of England
Looking tired
Just got back from a party, and The Queen leaned out and
She said: aren´t you B.B. king? '

I think B.B. might be telling fibs......love the idea of it though.

Better Not Look Down / B.B. King

Al.

- Warren Zevon

The Lash Thing On My Mind - Tom Paxton

Eyeball Eve - The Batchelors

Come on GIO Team, wee bit of Keb Mo?

Just Lookin' / Keb Mo



Al.

- Hot Tuna - Jack Casady gives a bass masterclass

Papa's Got A Brand New Bag - James Brown - Too many late nights?

'35 well you could've asked me to do the polissing, Adam, Big Burd in Greenock - who's gonnae argue? Certainly not Scotch Git, he still has nightmares about Bambi.

Anyway, lack of discipline is only to be deplored in other people, so here's a wee song I'd love to hear

Grace - the View

#39
A first draft will be available soon.

#51
I think the only viable way of polissing is to have Blog representation on the Board of Moderators. Someone with the power of moderation could then simply strike out the long lists and other misdemeanors (like youtube links for example).
I think Thing Fish would be a good rep with maybe Mary Doll to sub him on Friday and Saturday nights.

"I Can See It In Your Eyes" - The Kingbeats

"I Can See It In Your Eyes" - Men At Work

and if we're allowing "blind" then,

"Hello" - Lionel Richtea

jeezo, and here's me with a youtube link at the ready too. Oh well, before I'm struck off, here it is:

- Stornoway

it's a great wee tune, you can scrub all my others apart from the Imagineers, who will soon be on the Late Late Show.

Saltwater-Julian Lennon-he sounds jist like his Da'.
Black Eyed Peas-I Gotta Feelin

Stare way to heaven-Led Zeppelin
Pupil help the pupil-Cherry Ghost

Watching Airplanes / Gary Allan

Al.

If we are allowing "blind" I would have included:

Tom Waits - Blind Love

and / or

Bruce Springsteen - I Wish I Were Blind

Around 1975, I think, ther was a remake of The Who's rock opera 'Tommy' with a host of stars and an orchestral backing.

My favourite song from Tommy ( apart form Pinball Wizard) is Eyesight To The Blind and this rendition by Richie Havens is truly excellent.

regardez youse

henri

ther sure was HH, Ringo is in for a start, plus your Richie Havens versions and a host of others including Sandy Denny. I have to admit I love the Soundtrack version as well!

Peter MURPHY _ 'Indigo eyes_

Kene & I have often discussed the issue of listener representation at the weekly Programme meeting 8-|

#61

You are presuming there is one, of course. Are they not just on some sort of set cycle these days?

Of course how naive of me, benefit of the doubt an all that.
