Pah! Never mind those themes. The Euros are warming up. In case you missed it, this is what Wayne listens to pre match:
Rooney’s complete Spotify pre-match playlist:
Deacon Blue – Real Gone Kid Arctic Monkeys – Riot Van Stereophonics – Maybe Tomorrow - Decade In The Sun Version Bon Jovi – It's My Life Various Artists - Oasis Tribute – Champagne Supernova (Cover Version) Cat Stevens – Father And Son Damien Rice – Delicate James Morrison – Up Eric Clapton – Tears In Heaven Bruce Springsteen – Streets Of Philadelphia The Hummingbirds – Doesn't Really Matter
Bruce eh? No wonder the boy is world class....I look forward to the rest of the lists. Does he use Dr. Dre headphones? I'd ban them from players along with the mobile phones. No respect.
Fight for this love ~ Cheryl Promises ~ Buzzcocks Shout ~ Tears For Fears Fog on the Tyne ~ Gazza Me & Mrs Jones ~ Billy Paul I don't want to go to Chelsea ~ Elvis Costello Liar ~ Sex Pistols
Back Home ~ Mexico '70 something Squad Three Lions ~ Lighting Seeds World In Motion ~ New Order Vindaloo ~ Fat Les England's Irie ~ Black Grape feat. Joe Strummer & Keith Allen
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
He smashed his hand into a wall in temper while recording the Southern Accents album. 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.
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.
Viva La Vida - Coldplay Reward - Teardrop Explodes Overkill - Men at Work Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen Look of Love - ABC Town Called Malice - Jam Lost - Coldplay Zoom - Fat Larry's Band Love Changes Everything - Climie Fischer Road To Hell - Chris Rea
..and I'm thinking, "Bloody hell! I'd be as well listening to the show!" Of course I then realised that I've only got that Coldplay album and "I Luv The 80's" on ma iTouch.
Here's mine from today: a useful exercise, it tells me time I had a clear-out and some new stuff on
Next Voice You Hear - Jackson Browne Last Kiss - Joe Bonamassa Melinda - Tom Petty Come Home - Ryan Adams A Stubborn Kinda Fella - Frankie Miller An Sabhal Aig Neill - Runrig Waking Up Sideways - kassidy Lonely Boy - Black Keys Rocket - Def Leppard A Thing About You - Tom Petty Victory dance - My Morning jacket Let the Candlelight Shine - Frankie Miller Uprising - Muse Hinnom- Bon Iver Seagull -Joe Bonamassa Empty Room - Arcade Fire Where were you Last night - Traveling Wilburys Perfectly Good Guitar - John Hiatt songs by the Avett Brothers and the National, can't remember what

Fun Loving Criminals - Coney Island Girls Proclaimers - It's Saturday Night B-52s - 'Good Stuff Cherry Ghost - People Help the People Mary Chapin carpenter - Down At The twist and Shou Fastball - The Way Kevin Ayers - Stranger In Blue Suede Shoes Aztec Camera - Oblivious Marty robbins - El Paso Ditty Bops - There's A Girl Ian Dury - Geraldine John Mellencamp - Teardrops Will Fall Annie Lennox - Why Cheap Trick - If You Want My Love Jimmy Lindsay - Easy Wilco - She's A Jar Neil Young - Like A Hurricane Steve Earle - Telephone Road Slade - How Does It Feel Status Quo - Down Down The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset Symarip - Skinhead Moonstomp This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren Unkle Bob - The Hit Parade

ReplyDeleteText from Gaie:
"He was all right, but he was no Tom Petty."
Is the End Of The Line I wonder?
ReplyDeletePoor Gaie!
DeleteBut I'm sure he won't back down.
Norrie, you're my hero ☺
ReplyDeleteWhat about "heroines"?
ReplyDeleteSexist theme! Sexist theme!
Very same observation as those presenting the introduction?

ReplyDeleteDid they do Oh Well?
ReplyDeleteDid Ken do "Happiness"?
DeleteThat was the encore.
DeleteI mean, yes, they did 'Oh Well'
ReplyDeleteI think my most recent "perfect gig" was Bonnie Raitt at GRCH
Or was it Mary Gauthier at Òran Mór?
Anither gem that'll nivvir get airplay...

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

DeleteSky are supposed to be covering the Isle of Wight in 3D. Another chance to see your boy.
DeleteI've got the specs, do I need a 3D telly?
DeleteNo, just close one eye.
DeleteYou might not get answer you're looking for!
ReplyDeleteAs John Prine says in his sad wee song Far From Me, "A question ain't really a question if you know the answer too."
>8-D
Very true.
DeleteGaie,

My hero came under attack from Craig Brown in the Mail yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI of course rushed to his defence but it sems my comment was moderated.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2162257/Dave-lee-Travis-Brainwashed-Hairy-Cornflake-.html
I'm afraid I'm on Craig Brown's side. It's difficult to imagine circumstances terrible enough to render DLT interesting.
DeleteSnooker on the radio?
DeleteI was thinking more of 15 years' house arrest.
DeleteAdam,
If you like, you can leave a comment here.
Cannae take to Craig Broon. No' as funny as he imagines himsel' tae be.
No me!
DeleteIt all finishes today so we get oor city back again.
And we can all breathe easier (and more cleanly if it all works).
Aung San Suu Kyi always had time for DLT apparently.
DeleteAdam,
Another opporchancity to vent your spleen here.
Aye, was it all worth it richt enuff.
DeleteStill, we've got the Euros and England are still in with a chance.

DeleteSmooth 70s???
DeleteNever heard of it. I'll go and hae a look.
Adam,
Nivvir mind Craig Brown. The Jewish Telegraph staff are delighted. Seems DLT is one of the Chosen DJs.
Adam,
Click on CONFIDENTIAL then scroll down.
Morning y'all, what's happenin'?
ReplyDeletePure rainin', man!
Braw here.

Next time I'll fork out for the 3D set.
Deletegood idea. I'll send you the specs.
DeleteIs Paolo away on his holidays??
ReplyDeleteand Norribund the Blogmeister... It's Gabriel Time!
