Last friday's - not long after the news and before Strictly - It takes Two, BB said that Guilty Pleasures was suggested by DC. But I was busy making braised quails for tea and anxious not to miss the beginning of Strictly - It Takes Two, so maybe misheard.
It will never resurface, it's buried beneath an infinite pile of Queen and Proclaimers very popular tonight requests, topped up with the GIO recipe book 'Food for your Ears - all the nation never wanted to know about each other's teatime fare'; the Miss Babs joke book 'Cover your Ears - how I drove away my most devoted listeners' and the Bryan Burnett motivational book 'Eclecticism for your ears - a redefinition'
Was listening to Pick of the Pops on Alison Again and the second chart was this week in 1978. Curiously, halfway through, these 4 were played back to back:
Bicycle Race - Queen Hanging on the Telephone - Blondie Instant Replay - Dan Hartman Darlin - Frankie Miller
Do you think BB had his Spider-Man bitten by a radioactive spider moment back in November 78?
I always thought "Clackmannanshire Bridge" was far from snappy and gave a poor impression of the locals. The old bridge landed in Fife. The boundary must be very close.
they'll dig out the crème de la crème of Scottish music to celebrate, starting with the Proclaimers, throwing in a bit of Jimmy Shand for eclecticism, a bit of Edi Reader murdering a Burns song and finishing with Dignity. Though it's hard to fathom how you could finish with dignity after that lot (excepting JS) and Miss B shrieking in the background.
i'm not a flag waver myself and as st andrew is not exclusive to scotland it would be nice to think that there would be a more eclectic european flavour to the choices.....but they're wont be........i've gone right off a few of these scottish performers especially recently as they seem to be jumping on a bandwagon as if they have been promised the promised land..........i think its quite scary myself and have a contingency plan...flag waving...its a disaster waiting to happen.

Its a Knockout ran from 1966 to 1988. And that was just its first run! I've said it before, but it never ceases to amaze me when I look back at the longevity of our favourite shows back in the day. Things like The Black & White Minstrel Show and Little & Large went on for decades. Can't see your X Factors and Downtown Abbeys managing that these days!
Will we notice the difference?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourself ☺
Probably not!
DeleteAch try for Christ's sake.

DeleteDoes she strap her hand 'cross your engines?

DeleteGonna need the postcode. We burglars are guided by stolen sat-navs.
F--k sat-nav, just keep an eye on Farcebook for details of the house party.

Eddie Goes Country
Oh great Now That's What I Call Christmas is out. Bah humbug :'(
ReplyDeleteIt's the time that every Santa has a ball
DeleteIs there a new one??
DeleteA new NTWICC I mean.
DeleteJust been repackaged. It's like a Get it On Christmas playlist ☺
DeleteSo its the same as the 2009 release, then?
DeleteWonder if 12 Days of Xmas will be a theme this year...
DeleteWhen do advent calendars get opened? The themes depend on what's in the wee boxes. Allegedly...
I suggest the Aaron Neville Xmas Album.

ReplyDeleteRoss MacFadyen fae Celtic Music Radio is oor host on Monday.
Does that mean we're going to hear mair aboot the Barcelona game??
DeleteSG, I see the answer to the question asked of us by the young lady in Deacon Brodies in 2010 has just taken over at Chelsea.
DeleteArchangel Raphael lives in Chelsea? Really?
Is smiting permitted within the rules of soccer?

ReplyDeleteAnother week of repeats. Another week of repeats.
I wonder if they'll change a theme to acknowledge the passing of J.R. Ewing?
Well - you know the drill.
DeleteA night of Texas blues? Of course they will.
DeleteRIP Larry Hagman's eyebrows
ReplyDeleteI was right I knew I was. When he got shot all those years ago I said he would die. Naebody believed me. Ha where are yes aw now?
ReplyDeleteYou'll die, I'll die, everybody will die.
DeleteOne song Sunday - We're All Going to Die - Malcolm Middleton
DeleteNo need to make a song about it - just do it quietly.
DeleteGo gentle? Uh uh.
DeleteMonday, Monday - eyes - wonder who suggested that - I heard that DC suggested Friday's.
Do You See the Lights - Jeff Healey
I saw him at The Garage in 2000 - a great talent.
DeleteDan Baird's in Glasgow on Friday 7th with Jason & The Scorchers guitarist Warner E. Hodges
As someone whose only interest in GiO these days is this blog, what is Friday's theme?
DeleteLast friday's - not long after the news and before Strictly - It takes Two, BB said that Guilty Pleasures was suggested by DC. But I was busy making braised quails for tea and anxious not to miss the beginning of Strictly - It Takes Two, so maybe misheard.
Delete
DeleteDC,
Songs celebrating St. Andrew's Day.
But you can be sure that even with Saint Andrew as a theme, they won't play Saint Andrew!
>8-D
BB didn't say when DC had suggested last Friday's theme though.
DeleteScotch, you're right obviously. Will Henri's favourite song make an appearance?
DeleteBilly, I think he said it was 1993
DeleteThought the lost jotter may have resurfaced ;-)
DeleteIt will never resurface, it's buried beneath an infinite pile of Queen and Proclaimers very popular tonight requests, topped up with the GIO recipe book 'Food for your Ears - all the nation never wanted to know about each other's teatime fare'; the Miss Babs joke book 'Cover your Ears - how I drove away my most devoted listeners' and the Bryan Burnett motivational book 'Eclecticism for your ears - a redefinition'
DeleteYour Swiss finishing school teachers would be proud of your restrained use of the "ears" anagram.
Delete:0)
DeleteLets guess the playlist then:
ReplyDeleteEyes Without A Face
I only Have Eyes For You
Make My Brown Eyes Blue
Baby's Got Blue Eyes
and so on,
but of course what they wont play is
"Black-Eyed Boys" by Paper Lace and there just isnt enough Paper Lace on GIO as it is.
and Bette Davis sighs
DeleteBrown Eyed Girl
DeleteBlack Eyed Boy
Green Eyed Monster
Captain Beefheart - "Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles"?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteCatain Birdseye - Big Eyed Peas From Venus
DeleteA Two For One offer at Eyesland
Just as we'll that Captain Birdseye didn't suffer from Spoonerisms
DeleteThe first mate's name was McQueen....
DeleteBTW have you seen the scary picture on the Get it On homepage? No warning or anything ☺
ReplyDeleteYes, but he does a lot of good work for charity.
DeleteStruth.. so that's what Ross MacFadyen looks like. Back to 'Clyde' for him!
Deletecan't see Ross joining the lunchtime fun runners.
DeleteA great face for radio and the big plus is he's not Bryan.
DeleteWill there be any new questions tonight?
ReplyDeleteHow Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?
Delete"Why Don't You Love Me?"
Delete"What Difference Does It Make?"
DeleteWas listening to Pick of the Pops on Alison Again and the second chart was this week in 1978.
ReplyDeleteCuriously, halfway through, these 4 were played back to back:
Bicycle Race - Queen

ReplyDeleteHow to have a good time in Vegas.
I see Klackers have made a comeback in Clackmannanshire with those without gas.
ReplyDeleteKale n chair n scan
ReplyDeleteWhere's Clackmannanshire?
DeleteAcross the border.
DeleteAbout a mile further on than the Clackmannanshire Bridge ☺
DeleteI wouldn't like to pay for the sign
DeleteThere isn't one. The inhabitants of west west Fife nicked it and threw it onto their 'beach' aka the Airth mudflats.
DeleteIt was easier to spell 'Central'
I always thought "Clackmannanshire Bridge" was far from snappy and gave a poor impression of the locals. The old bridge landed in Fife. The boundary must be very close.

ReplyDeleteHow is the St Andrew theme going to work then??
ReplyDeletethey'll dig out the crème de la crème of Scottish music to celebrate, starting with the Proclaimers, throwing in a bit of Jimmy Shand for eclecticism, a bit of Edi Reader murdering a Burns song and finishing with Dignity. Though it's hard to fathom how you could finish with dignity after that lot (excepting JS) and Miss B shrieking in the background.
ReplyDeleteIf it was only murder. She tortures them slowly first to extract every last drop of excruciating pain.
DeleteThey won't have much digging to do as these are always at the top of the pile.
DeleteI think we should all request Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep via e-twit
ReplyDelete
DeleteOoh! A!
Cantona!
ReplyDelete20 years ago this week he signed for United.
Well done SG!
DC, I would go for "Moany Moany" and dedicate it to Mad Mac. A shoo-in.
Are you having a go at guessing the playlist?
DeleteMind you probably not much guesswork involved.
DeleteApologies for my previous post. I was getting my Tommy James and Middle of the Roads mixed up.
DeleteThat would be some anagram
Deletei'm not a flag waver myself and as st andrew is not exclusive to scotland it would be nice to think that there would be a more eclectic european flavour to the choices.....but they're wont be........i've gone right off a few of these scottish performers especially recently as they seem to be jumping on a bandwagon as if they have been promised the promised land..........i think its quite scary myself and have a contingency plan...flag waving...its a disaster waiting to happen.

Tom Morton doin a bit on unusual names in the wake of the wummin who called her wean Hashtag. Some weird and wonderful names of real people being suggested but none compare with the mama who called her baba Scotch git.
ReplyDeleteShe knew she wouldn't be around and he would have to get tough or die.

They thought it implied they had a short attention span and took offence.
DeleteSongs with the word "the" in the title.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling listless today.
DeleteThe definitive list song must be A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall.
Delete"You're Moving Out Today" is one of BB's faves.
DeleteA shoo-in.
He was even singing it himself. You've been warned.
DeleteSo he was.
DeleteDidnt play it though. Maybe they do look in here after all..
ReplyDeleteI'll sneak this in whilst Norrie is otherwise engaged...
Papal Bull? Or should I salute their infallibility?
It's Jesus on the main line - tell him what you want.
