Very quiet on here and on facebook....are people moving over to texts? I have not managed to hear much of the new longer show but must admit I find my attention wandering somewhat.....an age thing I presume.
Glen you only like GIO cos you're their man of the moment. They'll drop you shortly, then you'll remember why we lost the blog. What's your hit-rate this week?
Zilch - it must be some kind of mistake. BB King's (237 W 42nd St.) has an all-you-can-eat Gospel Brunch on Sundays. You need building up. Stevie Wonder's on a week on Sunday - get me a T shirt.
...ido all of my listening in the car between places like...thornliebank, royston,kirkie,milngavie etc etc etc.....
it certainly sounds like it loses steam....its not the right time for that sort of programme.....it now sounds like ian anderson lite...the boss himself complains of being hungry and mellow!!!....they don't do mellow in royston...
GIO played a request of mine last night. I think Glen must have put in a good word about my improved behaviour since the ASBO was lifted. I'd actually been listening to a Front Row prog about Peggy Seeger on radio 4 - catch it if you can, it's good - so it was a surprise to even catch the shout.
In thick with the host and producer, always gets played, feels the need to reply to everyone's posts.... ...wait a minute thats the new Glen I'm talking about!
I see BD is trying to claim the theme tonight. Very JfE-ish.
So what is the verdict on this Scot who has won The Voice (we dont get it here, sadly)? I heard an interview with him this morning and thought I had stumbled into Sportsound with the number of “obviously”s, “like”s and “at this moment in time”s being spouted.
I presume thats him on the left. Needs to get some tips from The Git. The LE was on fine form on the long song night (do you think Roddy is a relative? Check his avatar) You could do a lot worse than go along to the Green Tree in Peebles on Monday night. She might do a turn in the interval.
Ive told this story before but a stalwart at Rio weddings along with I Just Called To Say I Love You and New York New York is Me and Mrs Jones. Obviously lost in translation. As was this. This show was a daily kids programme over here, on in the mornings. It claimed audiences the size of the population of England. You can imagine the conversation beforehand. "This is a kids show, right? Are you sure about this?"

I imagine this could have been the turn at the Green Tree in Peebles on Monday night.
SCENE: - Couples Therapy - Samantha Jones (Sex and the City) has told her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend his penis is too small. He responds - (I'm paraphrasing)
"Too small? Really? Maybe your *cough* is too big!"
it's the programme that's past its sell-by, Norrie, not you.

DeleteWhen you're tired of Get It On, you're tired of life. What you need is another holiday.
DeletePeople are dying to get on the show...
DeleteThey're sitting round the radio in heaven.
DeleteGIO has the same shelf-life as a pick-axe.
DeleteJeff Zycinski
BTW Who is that Producer?
DeleteOddly enough off to NY next week...
DeleteSo am I! Well, on the 16th.
DeleteAmazingly, still able to eke out a living on this one song.

DeleteAre you sure you're Glen? You sound awfully like Madmac. Perhaps that's why they've ditched you.
DeleteOh, riiiiight, it's Norrie you're talking to. Or maybe it's Adam.
But not me.
Fine.
DeleteGlen is probably confusing Greenock with N.Y.C.
Common mistake.
Must be all those liners...
Need tae come tae Cellardyke. We hae one liners (QE2 in 2000)

cheers frae the dale
THURSDAY
DeleteOnly folk who don't reside in Royston call it Royston.
You must mean The Garngad.
I see Henri didn't get Alma played.
ReplyDeleteStill, he'll be have been comforted by Elvis from the chip shop.
DeleteAye, the highlight of the show.
Dunno why Bryan refuses to play Mindy McCready.
It's no' like she was ugly...
Not that Bryan would be interested.
DeleteLE is in rare form tonight. Obviously an early Friday...
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
DeleteWell its a holiday the morn is it no?
We'll regret not having kept a compilation of her posts.
It would have kept scholars busy for decades.
DeleteIt's 5 o'clock somewhere.....
ReplyDeleteSun's ower the yardarm here
DeleteActually, the mast isnae very tall, but don't let on
Nope, no Alma - although that show was quite good, really. No Ringo last night.
ReplyDeleteDidn't bother to stay tuned in once obvious track from the genius soul boy, Fergie from Aberdeen, was played.
I don't get it, Half the time the guy requests a ton of shit and because they've never heard of it, they play it anyway.
Fergie knows Bryan and has the negatives.

ReplyDeleteThere are more questions than answers.
Why?
What difference does it make?
DeleteGIO played a request of mine last night. I think Glen must have put in a good word about my improved behaviour since the ASBO was lifted. I'd actually been listening to a Front Row prog about Peggy Seeger on radio 4 - catch it if you can, it's good - so it was a surprise to even catch the shout.
ReplyDeleteShould I try again tonight?
Thats the $64 one.
DeleteBryan liked your choice. Mad Mac has taken to describing his activities during the programme in an effort to be rehabilitated.
DeleteWhat he wasn't told wuz I wasn't alone!
DeleteIs Brian Doig the new Jim fae Erskine?
ReplyDeleteBrian is a good guy, I've met him at a few gigs. Anyway there is only one Jim Frae Erskine.
Delete
DeleteAnd the only JfE is oor Julie!!!
Best track last night was The Punch Brothers selected by Ricky Ross. The man has dignity.
DeleteIn thick with the host and producer, always gets played, feels the need to reply to everyone's posts....
Delete...wait a minute thats the new Glen I'm talking about!
Long songs ramorra!
ReplyDeleteBohemian Rhapsody
DeleteFreebird
I can't think of anything else...
DeleteBecause you have been seduced by the Dark Side.
Telt ye that wid happen!
Actually I've thought about a few more. How about Baker Street or Bat Out Of Hell?
DeleteMy actual choices don't stand a chance.
Delete
DeleteAye, Ah kain!
Ah've requested yon George Thorogood track hunnersay times...
I see BD is trying to claim the theme tonight. Very JfE-ish.
ReplyDeleteSo what is the verdict on this Scot who has won The Voice (we dont get it here, sadly)?
I heard an interview with him this morning and thought I had stumbled into Sportsound with the number of “obviously”s, “like”s and “at this moment in time”s being spouted.
DeleteAsk Billy!
Alva, Alloa, they're neighbours!
Sorry I have no idea...
DeleteHave you checked out BD's new avatar?
DeleteWhat's that all about?
I presume thats him on the left. Needs to get some tips from The Git.
DeleteThe LE was on fine form on the long song night (do you think Roddy is a relative? Check his avatar)
You could do a lot worse than go along to the Green Tree in Peebles on Monday night. She might do a turn in the interval.
You'll be able to watch it on You Tube if the clip isn't needed for evidence.
DeleteNEXT WEEK'S THEMES
ReplyDeleteGreat opportunity to get "Billy Dont be a Hero" and "The Night Chicago Died" on tonight!
DeleteNot enough Paper Lace on GIO.
DeleteRA - RA- RASPUTIN, RUSSIA'S GREATEST LOVE MACHINE...
...shoo-in.
GIO perenial Men Without Hats for anyone wanting a shoo-in shout.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout Billy.
ReplyDeleteHere's another one.
One for the Ladies (as they used to say)

ReplyDeleteSo, what song would you play at an inappropriate wedding?
