Was waiting for the hatrick fae yer gal but no joy.

Is this different from Paolo's theme suggestion of specific times in songs?
If it is, is "Midnight" then considered a "part of the day" and not a specific time?

Mr P Dantic

noo.

diz the part o'the day huv tae be in the title, like?

if no' then obviously there won't be a better female vocalist on the show.

Guilty pleasure
Ten to eight / David Castle
Reminds me of my sisters getting ready for school when they were weans

#11 Gaie, can't wait for the blog on thurs/fri, should be grate :-)

Happy to second Hold back the nght (#14). Also:

Because the night - Patti Smith

Prove it all night - Springsteen
Morning sunshine - Cerys Matthews

More to follow

Joe
Linlithgow

This is a great quirky wee track from the Aerial album:

Kate Bush - Sunset

Van Morrison - Piper At The Gates of Dawn

which reminds me, assume DC you knew about Ö÷²¥´óÐã4 Pink Floyd Night last night, though daresay it's been on before?

Where Were You Last night? - The Traveling Wilburys
Drunken Nights in the City - Frankie Miller
Nightowl - Woodenbox With a Fistful of Fivers

Hunners of country songs can fit the bill but I'll try and keep it under control;

Early in the Morning - Vanity Fare
The Working Hour - Tears for Fears (well that's as long as anyone should have to work)

When The Sun Goes Down - Kenny Chesney
American Saturday Night - Brad Paisley (come on, didn't play Brad on Country night even though he was the poster boy for the show)

Midnight Summer Dream - The Stranglers
The Nightfly - Donald Fagan
Tequila Sunrise - Eagles

and then back to morn with
How D'Ya Like Your Eggs in the Morning - Dean Martin & Helen O'Connell

I guess that covers 'just another day' for me.......
Al.

Was Norman Watt-Roy playing in Wilko Johnson's band?

Good though the show was, I suspect you Blues fans must have had a Disco Tex moment when the Mighty Wah was played.

#11
I'll investigate

#20
Were your records chosen with Henri and the Fish in mind??? Even one there that suggests they might have got a lift home from SG in the wee small hours.
:)

#7

I'm an Alison Again man, D-K and besides I wid never stray fae the Blog.

#20/23

Norman Watt- Roy was the star of the show as far as I'm concerned. I could have watched his fingers moving up and down the fretboard all night. I know I'm a Jack Bruce fan, but quite honestly, you'd think the man and the instrument were physically conjoined and moved as one - and move they did.It was like watching a wild dervish perform a kind of guitar mating ritual, a breathtaking musical performance.

This sense of the surreal was only enhanced by Wiko. From the small raised area at the back of the ABC you couldn't see his legs, so he appeared to move about like Davros, the half- man, half - Dalek from Dr Who. Moreover, he does that insane staring thing ike the guy out of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.I believe Wilko is actually a bit nuts anyway and it wasn't difficult to tell. Great performer though.

A really happy gig, great fun and two encores.

Disappointingly, I didn't get to meet Thing Fish - there was no one who obviously fitted the description in the hall - though if I'd seen him on Sauchiehall Street later I wouldn't have been surprised.

Brad and Angelina wasted their money making a zombie movie in George Square - why did no one tell them about Sauchiehall Street on a Friday evening? Mind you after watching Wilko and Norman bouncing around the stage, the histrionics out on the street seemed almost normal.

regardez - youse

henri

#20 yep and it has.

I watched it through pausing only to post on this blog. Indeed I pondered requesting Floyd's Two Suns in the Sunset but I actually prefer Maggie Bell's singing Sunset Cowboy

Here DC, Gilmour's got a shed he needs gettin rid of. Would look good roond your back door.

#24 hahaha! As if I'd cast such aspersions on SG's no-doubt luxurious limo.

#26. HH I'm so very very pleased you were impressed with Norman. He's one of my musical heroes...Wilko's played gigs in Edinburgh twice recently and I wish I'd gone to see him. I'll definitely go along next time.
BTW...did you see if he's had his teeth fixed yet?

#11
Have a look at this Gaie. Loads of different releases. Might be demos.
Note that sometimes its Glamorous sometimes it isnt.

Monday

The shoo-ins:

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band

All Night Long - Rainbow

well that's interesting, Adam - some of them are glorious, some glamorous and some neither. I guess that's really exciting/really expensive, depending on how rich a Killers collector you are. Anyway, thanks for looking it up, I'm away to look out my own copy no doubt to find I'm sadly option 3.

May Morning - Runrig

Meadhan Oidhche air an Acarseid - Runrig

Dunno if it was the drink last night but I'm listing this morning

Gone Forever / Cry Before Dawn (best song of the 80s)
Mornin / Al Jarreau
Stay With Me Till dawn / Judie Tzuke
Touch Me in the Morning / Diana ross
Blue Morning Blue day / Foreigner
Morning Dance / Spyro Gyra
Twilight / David Gray
5 O'clock / Gabrielle
7 O'clock news / Simon and Garfunkel
What time is it / Kane Gang
Midnight Man / Flash and the Pan
Rock me tonight for old times sake / Freddy Jackson
Lady Midnight / Lenny Cohen


Aaah that's better. I can stand up straight now

is it just me or is midnight the most popular time of day to put into song?

anyway roughly in the correct order for a good night out.....


Twilight Cafe - Susan Fassbender

Midnight on the Bay - Neil Young

Wednesday Morning 3am - Simon & Garfunkel


Paul from Ayr

Are songs which just mention time allowed? 3am? 4 in the morning?

#26 Henri - I looked out for you throughout the night but didn't see you. I agree NW-R was the star. Good gig but Wilko needs a new Lee Brilleaux as his voice is too weedy for the blues.

See next time maybe.

Rialto - Monday Morning 5.19

Baxter Dury - Afternoon

Two for the price of one:

Bombay Bicycle Club - Evening/Morning

Before the dawn - Judas Preist

Well after a week of diversity and ecleticism - can we keep it up?

Dawn:

Perpetual Dawn - The Orb electronic ambient and dance music doesn't feature much on GIO - time for a rethink?

Breakfast Time:

Breakfast in Bed - Dusty Springfield great soulful response to the world's most overrated luxury.

Morning:

New Morning - Bob Dylan forgotten classic, deserves some airplay.
Sunday Morning - Maroon 5 unusually jazzy from this bunch, but we love our jazz on GIO..

Afternoon

On Saturday Afternoons, 1963 - Rickie Lee Jones a huge fan of the Orb, is our Rickie.

Evening:

Evening Falls - Enya I had forgotten how beautiful this is..

Sunset

Sunset - Nitin Sawhney Epic stuff, the track I'd love to hear on GIO.

Midnight:

Midnight Rider - The Allman Bothers The Paul Davidson Trojan Reggae version is better still, but doubtless not in the library..

Midnight At The Oasis - Maria Muldaur Klaxon tune, but hey, it's fantastic..

Night:

The Night Comes On - Leonard Cohen story telling at it's very best..

The Night - Franki Valli one of the best bass lines ever?

Strangers In the Night - Engelbert Humperdick alt disco version of this guitar classic

Saturday Night, Sunday Morning - the River Detectives

and to sum up

On Days Like These - Matt Munro

so that's electronica,soul,folk, jazz,singer songwriter,new age, world fusion,blues,reggae,pop,disco,and a crooner....lets keep it eclectic...and play Nitin Sawhney

regardez youse

henri

For a little light excentricity, how about....
Mad Dogs and Englishmen (Out In The Midday Sun): Noel Coward

or a couple of minutes the sublime Nick Drake could close off the show nicely...
Day Is Done: Nick Drake

Big second for Paul's Twilight Cafe suggestion, great wee song, sadly a one hit wonder I think.

If we're thinkin eclectic hows about

5.15 - The Who

Good Mornin' - Debbie Reynolds, Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor from the wonderful Singing in the Rain OST
.........moses supposes his toeses are roses

Al.

Cowboy Junkis - Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning

Disagreeing with Gaie on the choice of Wilburys songs:
* The Traveling Wilburys - Last Night

Disagreeing with Scotch on the choice of singer:
* Dave Gilmour - The Dimming of the Day
(assuming you can't find the sublime version on the soundtrack release to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Bringing It All Back Ö÷²¥´óÐã series on Irish music, performed by Richard Thompson, Mary Black & Dolores Keane, Ö÷²¥´óÐã Records c.d., CD-844, U.K., 1991)

Also
* The Fratellis - Everybody knows you cried last night
* Billy Bragg - Debris (...a Sunday Morning Market)
* Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
* Lennon - I'm Stepping Out
Woke up this morning, blues around my head...
...
I'll be in before one... or two...

Given last week's jazz fest, I don't see any danger of you playing
* The Gotan Project - 'Round About Midnight
but it is a great version of the Miles Davis classic.

#43

Big +1 for Nick Drake

Also adding:
* Madness - Saturday Night Sunday Morning
* Madness - 4am for the strict amongst youse

'tonight the streets are ours'..............sheffield legend.....hawley (listen up edinburgh , he's talkin' aboot the trams)

cheers frae the dale

Del Amitri - This Side Of The Morning

#48 Huge 2nd for Richard Hawley

So you Hawley agree with him?

#44 it was indeed and there's no likely to be another

#44/51

There's great mystery and speculation around Susan Fassbender - but it seems it all ended very tragically and far too young. Great keyboard player apparently.

I struggled to think of songs about lunch - but have remembered

Lunch With Gina - Steely Dan

must be the least exciting un-sexy time of day.

regardez youse

henri

#11

for Gaie ... for me ... for enlightenment of the GIO discerning audience ...

'Sometime Around Midnight' ~~ Airborne Toxic Event (playing The Arches, Glasgow, 7 Nov)

Patsy Cline - Walking After Midnight

Southside Johnny - Walking Through Midnight

Gladys Night - Midnight At The Oasis

#51 #52 There was indeed a mystery around what happened henri but I think it was, as you say very tragic.
I remember reading that the lady suffered from depression before she passed at an all too early age.

There was another record release credited to Fassbender - Russell (Kay Russell) who worked with her on Twilight Cafe.

Al.

Between The Daylight And The Dark: Mary Gauthier

Last Worthless Evening - Don Henley
Sun Goes Down - David Jordan
Whatever Gets You Through The Night - John Lennon

Buona Sera - Louis Prima

#48 Grrrrrrrr! Please don't associate such a wonderful song with that embarrassing fiasco! I've yet to meet anyone who thinks it's a good idea.

Anyway...here's more:

Help Me Make It Through The Night' - John Holt's version

My latest new discovery of an old-ish record...James Kirk of Orange Juice's s solo album 'You can make it if you boogie'...'Houston, Texas' opens with the words "woke up this morning".

As a shameless self publicist I just cant resist nominating "My Perfect Day" by The GardenParty. Its a wee bobby dazzler of a pop choon! Honest injun!

Some crackin` options on the blog already and these wee gems should help get us thru the night.

Stranglers - How to Find True Love and Happiness in the Present Day

Del Amitri - This side of the Morning

The Jam - Down in the tube station at midnight.

ELO - Nightrider

Edwyn Collins - Seventies Night


gotta get back to the ironing now!
