Ryan Adams / Whiskeytown - Jacksonville skyline

Ian Hunter / Mott the Hoople - Honaloochie Boogie
Van Morrison / Them - Could You Would You
Lou Reed / Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane

Wot's...uh the deal - Pink Floyd / David Gilmour

The caption above is devoid of wit and imagination and more worthy of a toilet wall than a national broadcaster's website. The theme chosen is also the weakest of those listed. A pity after a promising start. Have a nice weekend.

First thoughts for Monday:
Alison Moyet/Yazoo - Only you
Diana Ross/Supremes - Baby love
Brett Anderson/Suede - Blessed
John Fogerty/Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad moon rising
Don Henley/Eagles - Boys of summer
Glen Frey/Eagles - The heat is on
Michael MacDonald/Doobie Brothers - Long train runnin'
Philip Bailey/Earth Wind and Fire - After the love has gone
Jeff Lynne/ELO - Don't bring me down
Clapton/Cream - Sunshine of your love

And a few theme ideas too:

Tuesday - Quantity/Quality (eg Too much, too little, too late/the Best of my love)
Wednesday - Rotten - songs about badness
Thursday -Sayonara Vic - songs about leaving or saying goodbye
Monday - Thanks Vic - songs which appreciate other people

Joe
Linlithgow

another cunning ploy - set up a new thread so any contentious posts at the end of the previous one get quickly lost. Should I cut and paste, or should I follow Norrie's advice and quit moaning?
hmm.
Where's the fun in that?

PIGS MIGHT FLY

Here I Stand Before me - Crash Test Dummies


Henri: Dreadzone are playing 7th October

#5

Yes! I'll be there. Still to buy tickets though but the web connecteion doesn't do it.Thinking of taking a bundle of folk for what will be a great night.

Which brings me to my weekly Pigs Might Fly request:

American Dread - Dreadzone

Vic, unlike The Intergalactic Laxative, this is great Friday night cheer you up music.

Another great friday night lifter is Sunshine of Your Love - Cream vs the Hoxtons - dance mix, great fun....or

to quietly relax

While my Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles but from the Love album - absolutely beautiful rearrangement by George Martin

Gaie,

I thought your scenario with Vic and the production team would make a great cartoon. I can visualise it.

And then I imagined the whole of GIO as a cartoon.

Which reminds me... Vic,

Empire Ants - Gorillaz - the first prog rock record by a brit pop artist? Uplifting for Friday night!

Go for ir Vic!

regardez youse

The cartoon idea possibly works in reverse too, Henri - after all we can see what they look like, they can only imagine what we look like!

How was the soiree?

#8

Unfortunately, something cropped up at work and I couldn't go through to Edinburgh last night, which is a pity because I'd been rather looking forward to meeting my fellow bloggers, particularly as I guess Adam doesn't turn up all that often. Maybe someone will organise something at this end of the M8.

#3

I agree.


#8

Very pleasant, thank you. The weather was kind, the bars atmospheric, the company good and the conversation interesting. A pity Julie and Maria didn't make it, but at least I was spared their eyelash fluttering, giggling, simpering and slavering whilst they gazed upon the handsome visage of Adam from Rio. So good lookin' it wid make ye sick.

Ripples / Genesis ....Phil Collins (first time I heard this was at a student party all nighter when someone played it while we were eating lemon meringue pie for breakfast)

Carpet Crawler /Genesis.....Peter Gabriel



#60
The problem with a list like that Henri is that you stuck in Perfect/fairground attraction and you just know that's the one they're gonna play

#63 well done Norrie. Your time spent in the library wasn't wasted I see

DC

#63
It also made Boston famous!



Other beers are available

#54

Uh-huh? Cast your mind back to the Mohawk & Safety-Pin's Got Talent extravaganza in 2004, when comparisons were made with another member of the Clan.

As I recall, you were on the judging panel!

I still suffer flashbacks whenever I hear 'The Lonely Goatherd'

#60 Wow Henri thanks for saving me the bother of doing a list...

Monday - Previous

Jack Bruce:- West, Bruce & Laing 'Pollution Woman'

and

Leslie West - Mountain - 'Nantucket Sleighride'

regardez youse

henri

#74 etc

I've decided I prefer 'Brad- Git'.Stick with it.

It's much more cosmopolitan sounding and I picture you in a different light, which is possible as I've never met you.

It's also funny, wheras 'Scotch -Git' sounded parochial and kind of typically Scottish - which I feel certain you're not.

regardez vous

henri

#78
How strange! I also thought he sounded typically Scottish but I am sure he is. What's wrong with that. I think it would be nice to be Scottish. Maybe I would then still have a girlfriend. She prefers Scotsmen.

Proof that perception is everything.

Was your ex called Olga, by any chance?

#74

I seem to remember you were runner-up to Beau Talks and The Gastric Band (very smooth but low on content).

Beau Jest & The Rank Rotten Replays?!?

Their yodelling was [Expletive removed by the moderators.]!!!

One of Kevin Ayers’ previous bands was of course...GONG!

CLARENCE IN WONDERLAND from THE MYSTERY AND THE HISTORY OF PLANET GONG by GONG

Q is for je ne sais QUOI

85 - Kevin Ayers was also in Soft Machine, which featured that other great iconoclast Robert Wyatt. Their only song short enough seems to be "Love Makes Sweet Music", which also features a one-off appearance by William S. Burroughs. if that's not a multi-media supergroup, what is? (Fat Les, I suppose...)

80 - John Lydon had nothing to do with Silly Thing, you silly thing, Mike...

#85 Good one Fred , #86 correct Harry , so I would request...............

WHATEVERSHEBRINGSWESING from WHATEVERSHEBRINGSWESING by KEVIN AYERS (Ex Soft Machine)

Q = Quintets

#88

I think the idea is to request the band 'came from' rather than 'went to' - so you'll need to stick in a soft machine 'number'

#57
Glen, thanks for sorting out that 'pigs ear' of a link I made.

Trot along to #74 for more porcine fun.

#92 Gone to pot..

Q is for Quarrels. Songs about arguing, arguments. Disgreements.

R is for Repeat Themes

S is for Shall we do Space again?

T is for This is getting a wee bit Tedious...

Quite.

Maybe we can sneak in U is for Underplayed.
Someone will now tell me to nevermind U, what's tomorrow's theme.

Nevemind U, what's tomorrow's theme?

How can anyone possibly know how I feel?

GOAL!
