    Every week in the 60s songs appeared which we're still listening to now. Popular music peaked in the early 70s and is now in a long slow decline.

      You should listen to Sounds of the 80s on Radio 2 with Sara Cox.
      It'll change your mind.
      And lets not forget, the 80s was the best decade for hair.

      Well its like a lot of things when you look at them in retrospect, after a certain amount of time has passed. You can discover an appreciation that perhaps you were unable to feel at the time when they were current.

      Perhaps all you bloggers can hop on Norrie's JCB and get down here and finish it off. Save the World Cup. Sort of thing that would be right up Kelvin Dale's street, He could bring along some of the choir to keep spirits up. We'd film it all. It'd be a cross between Summer Holiday, Holiday on the Buses and Auf Wiedersen Pet.

      Ah kain, imagine thinking you can use a harbour as a swimming pool! I remember one guy actually objected to me bringing the boat in and asking him politely (at least to begin with) to move so I could get to the pier.

Got a reply back saying that the blog themes dossier is in now on display in the broadcasting hall of fame. had to chuckle. So...mystery solved peeps.

      We don't get Mandi on GIO these days - is Fergie from Aberdeen a bbc producer? No matter how duff it is, his specialist knowledge of obscurity gets played.. but some of it is obscure for a good reason.

    Possibly even worse than the the prog rock fiasco - possibly the worst episode of GIO I've heard these last four years. I hate it when Vic does the show - I doubt he even reads the stuff before he starts... utter crap.

      It can't be easy being dropped into a show like this. You're becoming short-tempered and intolerant. It's great isn't it?

      I know, it is. i'm off to console myself with the box set of 'game of thrones. - a big titted adventure set against a background of medieval conflict Tolkien with tits, basically, but great fun. That'll make up for it.

      I'm sure that's true, I just had a bit more expectation of Vic whereas I now think he's even more at pains to play old tired (sic) and tested stuff because that's not what he plays on his own show and he doesn't want to terrify the GIO listeners. And let's keep everyone happy by naming them whether they're having a tune played or not. So patronisiing.

      Anyone going to see Eric Clapton at the Hydro? I'm not, but I'm going to see The National over in Edinburgh where I swore I'd never venture again because of the uncomfortable seats and exorbitant car-park charges. Never say never!

      Opinion, theme, barometer?

      No-one would have believed, in the early years of the twenty first century, that blogger's affairs were being watched from the opulent offices of Pacific Quay. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microphone interviews the Scottish voters and independence Referendum. Few men & women even considered the possibility of interesting and challenging themes being set by Radio Scotland. And yet, across the River Clyde, minds immeasurably inferior to ours regarded this blog with envious eyes; and slowly, and surely, they drew their plans to plagiarise us.

      I was reacting to Henri. I didn't see previous references to depression/bereavement. I'm sorry if I've upset anyone but I'm not sure if the GIO request page is the place to seek consolation.
