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.
well, obviously someone has been listening - quite a return to form I thought - almost no one mentioned food and they played the whole of Red Rain right throught to Peter's last breath. Difficult Nina Simone track when both Dusty and Francoise covers would have been easier, Ann Peebles instead of Tina, thank god....
Previously on the Blog.. Glen, I was on my way to NY that Friday but missed the plane. Went on Saturday instead. Did NY, New Jersey, New Haven then a couple of days in Cambridge/Boston. Got back yesterday.
I havent spent any length of time in the US since 1980 but they are still playing Toto, Fleetwood Mac, Chrstopher Cross and Billy Joel (a lot). When I was in NJ I noticed that the local stations were playing Brooce every 15 minutes (Glory Days a particular favourite), but you kind of expect this and its ok. This made me think that when Americans visit Scotland they probably expect to hear The Proclaimers on local radio, so maybe we shouldn't be so critical of GIO for playing them two or three times a week.
As to the goings on here in my absence... well... Thanks for the summaries Gaie and Mac but I think I'm going to have to go for a look myself. And to think that I was commenting on Mac's ice breaking dialogue with Drew Lloyd before I left! Who said "Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." ? Obviously you skipped that lesson in the Waast-by Academy o Diplomacy, Mac.
A shoo-in for Hold Back The River by Wet Wet Wet (;-)
ReplyDeleteBtw does precipitious not mean steep?
ReplyDeleteSwamp - Talking Heads
ReplyDeleteThe state of my back garden anyway (;-)
Warren Zevon has four Rain songs but why tell them that?
ReplyDeleteBecause... Alasdair Allan is Scotland's first professional cage fighter?
DeleteOn second thought don't.
DeleteWerewolf in rainy london?

ReplyDeleteDebate strengthens democracy, what's happened here then?
ReplyDeleteSorry Henri but I'm out, there is nothing that lot could ever do to get me contributing again.
ReplyDeleteJust checked the playlist and thought that every single predictable song was on it. I don't get your enthusiasm, Henri, sorry.
DeleteWe were spared Annie though.
DeleteAgreed Gaie

When people say "next Friday" they mean "a week this Friday".
DeleteWe're off to Cambridge next week to see Zoe Miller.
Sorry about my mis-communication.
DeleteZoe should be good. I hear she has a fine pair of lungs.
We stayed at The Kendall. Dinner there isnae bad if you're stuck.

Only every 15mins....hopeless. When I am in the states i tune in to E Street radio - problem solved. Brisbane next...
DeleteExpect The Jezabels
DeleteI'll be listening to Old Dogs New Tricks live tomorrow evening... see ya in a week.
DeleteRemember... keep out of trouble.
As to the goings on here in my absence... well...

Guess I always have Adam.
DeleteBig improvement on Facebook - a real element of nastiness creeping in.
DeleteReally? Intentionally didn't look yesterday.
DeleteIs the "voice of reason" chanting Don't Stop Me Now?
I liked Tony Fabrizio's comment about Travis (;-)
DeleteHow come that wasn't moderated or was it only to be reinstated like somebody else we know.
DeleteNever mind rain it's more like pish
