Not The Blog Christmas Annaul

Hello all I hope you have had a great 2013. As it is a pretty busy time over the next few weeks I will not be updating these pages but wish to take the time to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2014.

Nearly Christmas...

any word on the themes?

Happy December

Yes a new post. My apologies for the delay in updating!

I hear our LA correspondent is back

So what exciting themes are in store? Anybody know?

Here is somebody famous with a dodgy old codger

Yes it is Adam again! Who is this old bloke he is with? 1. Clue 1 it is not Glen 2. Clue 2 prof popkiss wife loves him (the old codger not Adam in so far as I am aware, plus she hopefully and I am sure does still love the popkiss)

Who?

Doctor Who that's who. So roll up and get your Doctor themed suggestions in.

A new thread!

Why not!?

The weeks themes

Look quite good, relatively speaking, although of course I am a sook / sycophant / in with the facebook crowd * (delete as required) Talking and listening Gut Fawkes Night A CD that Skips Ages Guilty pleasures Ok I take it back.....

Misheard Lyrics

Yes! What do you think Bob Dylan was singing?

Songs With Choirs

Funnily enough i am not too keen on choirs....the choir at the Gram Parsons Tribute Night were truly awful to my ears but every single review or comment I have seen have said they were wonderful so what do I know...

Precipitation

Yes something we are all too familiar with......sit back and relax as Ross McFadyen plays: Singing In The Rain Rain Town It Is Raining Men Here Comes The Rain Again and other precipitious classics.

Git It On

Yes it is the day of the year that our very own Scotch Git likes the theme. Keep it Country (or at the very least Americana).

Funk and Soul

Yes you groovers stop fighting on facebook and pitch in with your funky stuff etc

Turn that bloody racket down...

etc.

Heroes

Yes yoose lot are heroes to me and this happens to be a one word album title by the great David Bowie who I do not think I have mentioned before.

Mad Monday

YES! What new Proclaimers song have you just heard?

I could have been the King

Show Me Heaven

Yes! Soundtracks. Bryan is Holding Out For a Hero - please do not let him down!

Zoom

Time for your quickest suggestions

Has Glen inspired a theme

After his chat about being a Gradfather the theme is musical advice from Grannies and Grandpas. Presumably the advice is turn that racket down and get a haircut

Frank

Yes it is drummers night

Hallelujah

Yes it is cover versions again.

Vital Signs

If you are not in Birmingham taking good photos of trees and skyscrapers then pop along to GIO and post your suggestions on vital signs. I think these are breathing, blood still present and a heart beating to move said blood round body. Oh and of course brain activity (except on f/b)

We are a Grandfather

Imagine playing I'll Be Your baby Tonight yet again over the excellent suggestion of Baby Stop Crying.

No matter I bounce back with the observation that Bryan celebrates musical youths, from teen idols like Justin Bieber to the young Scot with the big voice, Lulu.

Blog Apology

I have noticed there is a spam section which I should have been checking. There were quite a few posts in there and obviously too late to post them now.

Haircuts

What are the best haircuts in rock......

My old man said follow the van

Not Van The Man....removal van.

Oh never mind..... if you have ever moved house. Not that we had a house we lived in a hedge. I know we were lucky to have a hedge as Glen has to sleep in a hollow in the ground. Mind you lucky he had a hollow DC had to sleep suspended from Pitenweem Pier with a rope round his waist. A pier! Madmac would have given his right arm for a pier he had to sleep on the abutments to teh Erskine Bridge...etc.

Yes are you in your sixties (or older like some visitors here)?

If so post your memories of listening to Athlone, Stars Of Jazz, AFM, Luxembourg etc. Or send direct to Bryan Burnette.

I will be suggesting Van In The Days Before Rock n Roll. But I will be suprised if it gets a play. This is not the same as Julies regular posts along the lines of "I ask for this a hundred times you never play my stuff etc etc". I really doubt it will get played (too long).

Born In The USA

and etc.

Form an orderly queue....

With the shock news that folk don't know what the Beatles look like

Can the GIO contribturs recognise spelliyng?

The busiest restaurant in the world...

Anyway who else would you not recognise standing at the bar with Bono....

Backing Vocals

Bowie always puts a real effort into getting his backing vocals sounding great on his albums.

An original theme to be fair.

Must have been some good Mozz stuff in the 90's?

Bum

notes. It actually is.

Bowie dioes a great soul track called After Today on the Young Americans but hits a wrong note or lyric whatever and they didnt bother going back and fixing it. Great track too, real pity.
