We are blessed...
Last night was dull and predictable. It sounded amateurish and I left about halfway through. Thankfully I am referring only to the Willie Nelson gig and not the show. Gie it up now Willie 鈥 at the age of 75 you don鈥檛 need to be sleeping on the tour bus reducing some of the greatest country songs written to a half hearted medley.
The night had started so well with the busiest Get It On show ever. Record numbers of texts, e-mails and calls made it an exhausting but exhilarating two hours.
Your 鈥榯hings you would find in the bible鈥 suggestions were clever, funny and incredibly diverse. We had several suggestions for Boney M鈥檚 Rivers of Babylon and at the opposite end of the spectrum, Matt from Inverpoly鈥檚 metal suggestions:
鈥 Hell Awaits 鈥 Slayer,Jesus Saves 鈥 Slayer and Disciples Of The Watch 鈥 Testament. It would put a top on an absolutely terrific day if you could mention these tracks. It's always good to spread the word of metal!!!!!"
We had several requests for things like The Damned, Divine and All About Eve. I liked the double bill suggested by Mags and Ali in Edinburgh who had suggested 'Samson' by Regina Spektor and 'Delilah' by Tom Jones.
Then folk like Helen from Perth came up with great lists that they had clearly spent ages thinking about :
鈥淭he Magic NUMBERS, GENESIS, Psalm Cooke,Judas Priest,Christopher CROSS,DEACON Blue and ABBA (Father in Aramaic)鈥
Thanks for all of them. Let鈥檚 hope we can get more nights like that next week. Don鈥檛 forget to have a peek at other folk鈥檚 lists on the 鈥榥ext week鈥檚 themes鈥 posting and I will put the themes for next week on the blog tomorrow. If you want to start thinking then you can find details of the themes on the main page.
