Is she really going out with him?

Well if these themes do not inspire you nothing, I say nothing, will:

Wed: Bryan's theme on Get It On is Gossip Songs.
Thursday: Bryan Burnett with two hours of music inspired by heroes.
Friday: Vic Galloway presents two hours of last songs.

  7. Tomorrow, some talk of Alexander and some of Hercules of Hector and Lysander but I reckon Donovan's Sunshine Superman deserves a mention of the Green Lantern!

    1. Very same observation as those presenting the introduction?

  11. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at the Royal Albert Hall - I haven't enough superlatives to describe it. I nearly cried when they came on I was so thrilled to be there and yet it was also like seeing old friends. They played everything I'd have chosen to hear, they played it heart and soul and it was just, just perfect. A surprise for us was a guest spot with Steve Winwood. I had to leave before the encore, it's too far to walk back to Glasgow even when flying, but it didn't matter, they'd just played Running Down a Dream, the one I've always wanted to hear live. It was altogether just the best.

  12. I mean, yes, they did 'Oh Well'

    1. Mind you, Michael Marra at the Strathclyde Suite of GRCH is a contender.

    2. back in the days of GIO I thought a theme might be the one song you really, really wanted to hear live, and did it live up to expectations? - Running Down a Dream would have been mine for this, Cellar of Dreams from the Silencers, Charlie Darwin, the Low Anthem, Last Kiss, Joe B, and so on. What special song did Bonnie tap her dainty little feet to for you, SG?

    Gaie,

    If I have to choose just one, (am I on Desert Island Discs? Coz Shakespeare disnae' push my buttons on paper. Thank God for Sir Kenneth Branagh), it'll have to be Bonnie's rendition of John Prine's Angel from Montgomery, accompanied by Phil Cunningham on squeezebox.

  17. My hero came under attack from Craig Brown in the Mail yesterday.
    I of course rushed to his defence but it sems my comment was moderated.

    8. Aye, was it all worth it richt enuff.

      Still, we've got the Euros and England are still in with a chance.

      And I was thinking, when we get "The Henri Hannah Show" up and running, first guest presenter has to be HC DLT. We could then get the Burma Burd as guest producer and get a lot of kudos.

      Delete
    9. And the burma burds first song would be Damien rice's unplayed piano. I would have the legendary casey kasem as guest presenter. the repeats of his american hot forty countdowns from the 70's on Smooth 70's are along with Brian Matthews the best programmes on radio.

    10. Smooth 70s???
      Never heard of it. I'll go and hae a look.

  20. I thought I'd wandered into Weather Watchers Anonymous.

    I though Tom Petty was good last night but fresh-faced the band are not. Tom reminded me of the description of the Archbishop of Canterbury - "a tramp looking through a hedge". Did you notice the tremor in his left hand? Apparently a 30 year old injury acting up.

      Not looking good?
      Look at all the mud they'd to tramp through - well let me tell you, in South Kensington they looked damned fine to me.
      In fact I'm away to watch Running Down a Dream right now. Maybe I'll watch it again tomorrow.

  22. Suppose, instead of listening to the wireless between six and eight o’clock one night, you set your i-pod to shuffle and then took a note of the music that was randomly selected, then compare the list to what was played that night on GIO. Obviously, you would think your i-pod’s random selection was a much better choice of music because you put it on there in the first place, but how would other bloggers’ random selections fare? And, if you were to put the bloggers’ selections in order of preference alongside the GIO selection, where do think the GIO selection would fit in?
    Assuming that the participating bloggers are representative of a cross section of the general listening public, and that the general listening public “choose the music” for GIO, you would expect the GIO playlist to land bang in the middle. Hmmmm……
    I don’t have an i-pod, but I have a juke-box I can set to random, so here’s my list from Thursday night.

    Most Likely You Go Your Way – Bob Dylan
    Dots Thots – Ozric Tentacles
    Heavenly Bank Account – Frank Zappa
    Bitch – Rolling Stones
    Black Friday – Steely Dan
    Clash City – The Clash
    Rubberband – Z
    Horseface – Chuck E Weiss
    You Can’t Stop Rock & Roll – Twisted Sister
    Excuse Me Mister – John Martyn
    Blackleg Miner – Richard Thompson
    Till The Morning Comes – Grateful Dead
    As I Roved Out – Planxty
    Stepping Out – John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers
    Hong Kong Money – Dr Feelgood
    Who Loves The Sun – Hafdis Huld
    Tam Lin – Fairport Convention
    Song For Insane Times – Kevin Ayers
    Sheriff Of Hong Kong – Captain Beefheart
    Trader John – Dr John
    The Morning Fog – Kate Bush
    Fire Engine Passing With Bells Clanging – Soft Machine
    Dancing With The Pixies – Gong
    Here Comes That Man Again – Kirsty MacColl
    Jack Shit George – Ian Dury And The Blockheads
    Deer Stop – Goldfrapp
    Princess of The Street – the Stranglers
    Birdnest Hair – QueenAdreeena
    Stang’s Swang – Stevie Ray Vaughan

    Unfortunately I don’t know what BB played on Thursday, but I suspect the GIO playlist would end up being second bottom, with my list bottom because I have an even worse taste in music than Bryan Burnett (except in my view).

    I think this would be a highly scientific experiment and the results would be irrefutable if anybody can be arsed.
