Aye well, we'll see. They should play BB King for his 88th birthday and probably will, since it's so easy to choose from the only song he recorded in his long and illustrious career, the one where U2 help him out.
A theme idea here, maybe? Listeners send in rhyming slang for artists/bands and/or songs and the presenter and producer have lots of fun trying to figure them out. Or has it been done before?

Absolutely. And would be a shoo-in if Chief Sook and Bottle Washer was around to request them. (I'll try. They can only handle so many shouts for the vastly over-rated Polyphonic whatsits and Madness) Meanwhile our old chum and rebel Metrosexual Mac seems to have become quite the FB conformist. He was even spotted last night at the "We Are The Champions" bar with EZ.
I put that in too with a "Sweet Music" back up. I think they'll get on but with "Three Steps to Heaven" requested by someone in Dingwall having smokies for their tea.
Without wishing to sound like Kelvin fae the Dale, I'm involved with something called the "Street Child World Cup". Would be good if youse could take a minute to have a look at our videos and sign up as supporters.

I'm off to Cambridge tonight for the Conference next week. Having to miss Brooce at Rock in Rio this weekend so you know its a good cause. Son going to see my old mucker, JBJ tonight.
I'm sick of chicken. We're having a little fresh Tuscan polenta drizzled with balsamic vinegar before being sautéed in lark's vomit and served on a bed of wild Bhutanese red rice with a truffle oil reduction.
ReplyDeleteThats sounds delicious. And on a Monday too! Is it pension day?
DeleteNurse - he's out of bed again!

ReplyDeleteSurely a chance for Phil Lynott.
DeleteYou would think so. I was lucky enough to have met him back in the day.
DeleteHenri should get his man on tonight too.
Air bass
DeleteHere Norrie!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of Cristiano Ronaldo's new range of underwear?
I hear it's pants.
It's apparent Norrie has no interest in Ronaldo's underwear. He's into large boxers.
DeleteOne for the ladies

Who are our favourite lead guitarists then?
ReplyDeleteHave you got your shout in for Ken Dodd, Gaie? (He's lead isn't he?)
I don't know who you're talking about, Adam.
DeleteI thought it was just me (:-)
DeleteGlen's got some great shouts in on FB. Not a snowball's chance but great choices nonetheless...
DeleteMainly videos since they won't get played.
DeleteMike Campbell's quite good though
ReplyDeleteHe's been asked for a few times and also your pal Joe.
DeleteAye well, we'll see. They should play BB King for his 88th birthday and probably will, since it's so easy to choose from the only song he recorded in his long and illustrious career, the one where U2 help him out.
DeleteGaie you know fine well who I'm talking about.
DeleteHere is here on Tom's right.

He's even got the tickling stick.
DeleteJust let me know when you've learned to do proper links, Adam, and I'll have a look
Delete:0)
Try this it's quite good.

ReplyDeleteHe complains when I don't ask for Brad Paisley, but will he play Martin Lancelot Barre? Will he _ Buck Owens?!?
Just the usual Travis Tritt
DeleteVery good Glen.
DeleteA theme idea here, maybe?

Or has it been done before?
For tonight:
ReplyDeleteThe Proclaimers
Erasure
The Communards
Eurythmics
The Associates
The Blue Nile
The White Stripes
The Black Keys
Excitement is at fever pitch (;-)
Billy, if you're going for Glen's record of predos you should be aware you only get half a point if you are just naming the band and not the song.
DeleteIt was just an observation not a prediction. I may be pleasantly surprised not to hear these acts(:-)
DeleteAs in golf when declaring a provisional ball you must make it clear when you are making an observation and not a prediction.
DeleteI've been cheated, I always thought there were four guys in The Blue Nile. I've been missold records, get me Lawyers 4U.

I'm off to Ayr Races tomorrow, could you apply your prognosticative powers to that, Billy?
DeleteYou may want to wait a few hours to check if my crystal ball's working (:-)
DeleteWhat about The Thompson Twins - usually three but up to eight apparently?
DeleteDO we have a result???
ReplyDeleteI made it 5. Not that great but record breaking takes dedication (:-)
DeleteGlen, don't look to me for tips for the gee gees. Good luck tomorrow, don't lose your shirt.
DeleteI only got 4 on my first attempt in 1987.
DeleteDid you count half points?
DeleteYup, half points for Cream and The Proclaimers. Sorrow sorrow (:-(
DeleteDid you see that The Thompson Twins are going to be Nesbit and Nisbet in the Scots version of Tintin? I think that's inspired (:-)
ReplyDeleteIn that case it should be Tentin
DeleteTennents Tin
DeleteFawr past your bedtime.
DeleteMorbid note
DeleteTin boredom
DeleteGood effort Billy. In the words of the great Mr Castle - "If you want be the best, if you want to beat the rest, dedication is what you need".

Indeed, maybe one day. The perfect chance for Showaddywaddy tonight?
DeleteAbsolutely. And would be a shoo-in if Chief Sook and Bottle Washer was around to request them. (I'll try. They can only handle so many shouts for the vastly over-rated Polyphonic whatsits and Madness)
DeleteMeanwhile our old chum and rebel Metrosexual Mac seems to have become quite the FB conformist.

Adam, Trocadero requested for my fellow bloggers. Don't hold your breath (:-)
DeleteI put that in too with a "Sweet Music" back up.

Son going to see my old mucker, JBJ tonight.
now a signed up fan.
ReplyDeletethis is what I'd like Uncle Vic to play tonight. As if.
My friend thinks JBJ is the sun, moon and stars and probably several planets as well. Are you really a pal?
Well its a long 80s Copacabana story. I'll tell you all about it next time we meet.
DeleteThanks for signing up. It really does make a difference.
JBJ
DeleteFirst band I downloaded via AyeChoons. Still a fair number on the 'yet to be played' filter
Jackson 5 a big band? Do these people have trouble with numbers?
ReplyDeleteAh kain! What about the B 52s or their peerless peers the Eminim 62s? Or the 2468 Motorways?
DeleteDissident Thomas Sullivan has appeared on Facebook. He believes the music is planned beforehand.
