Thursday 25th September 2008

Vic winds things down on the last show of the week with songs about sleep and dreaming.Email getiton@bbc.co.uk

    Hi Vic. For Monday (Clapping) I'd love you to play "Au Port" by the French singer Camille Dalmais, from her album "Le Fil". She regularly uses hand claps, as well as using her body and voice, to provide the percussion in her music which is great to listen to and fascinating to watch being performed.

    Shut your eyes - Snow Patrol

    Hi all
    For Monday clapping songs has to be Lambchop "Up with People". I was lucky enough to see this live at the South Bank a few years ago now with the guys from Calexico helping out with the clapping, it was a brilliant night and this was one of the amazing highlights.
    Good luck this week Vic, I fear there could be some serious bribe offers and pleading coming in whilst BB is "en vacances"!

    RoxyJohn - thought the Roxy Music Story was excellent it must be great to be involved in work by artists that you love. The guy who runs the Josh Ritter fan site has ended up doing some backing vocals on his last album! As an aside am I the only one who thinks Ferry was just about the only artsist not to use Live Aid as a way of plugging his back catalogue Sensation and Boys and Girls hardly being the big hits!

    Cat Stevens was another one I grew up listening to. Luckily I had an uncle who had floor to ceiling shelves of vinyl that he allowed me to play at will. I hold him completely responsible for my varied music taste today (although, I am now strangely drawn to those 'AM Gold' compilations!)

    MONDAY: THE CLAP

    Looks like a diary entry I once had (kidding)

    It must have been cold in Air Studios when Roxy Music recorded 'Stranded' as there are claps on both 'Mother Of Pearl' and 'Street Life'. Street Life had the added bonus of finger clicking too at the fade out

    Norrie: the BBC4 thingy came over well I thought and showed the importance and influence the band had and how indivudual they where.

    J.O'B.

    TUESDAY: SOUL

    Sam And Daves Hold On I'M Coming (Covered by Ferry in 1978)

    WEDNESDAY: SIR/MADAM/Mr/Mrs

    Got to be Roxy's 'Ladytron' how weird did they look on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1972. Not Many songs got rock oboe on them.

    THURSDAY: SLEEP

    The day before BF's 63rd birthday and it seems my request for a Roxy related night is not on. It could have been fun as there are so many artists Ferry had coverd that the originals would have been part of the show as well as the people who have coverd Ferry/Roxy. Therefore it didn't have to be BF all night for those who couldn't stand the sound of what has been described as a voice like Edith Piaff riding a bike over cobbles.

    For 'sleep' it has to be Simple Minds 'Big Sleep' I used to play this in one of the first bands I was in when I had more hair and less chins. And not to be stuck for a Roxy/Ferry track Bryan Ferry's 'Smoke Dreams' It was a left over track from his As Time Goes Buy album and was used on the Goddess Of Love CD single.

    Right, that me away back to the ironing. Rock `n` Roll!

    Anyone for a game of Cluedo? Got a Colonel Mustard dilemma here.

    For tonight's show, don't know whether to suggest Mean Mr. Mustard by The Beatles or Terror Couple Kill Colonel by Bauhaus.

    As Mean Mr. Mustard is part of the Abbey Road medley it's probably too long to play (but brilliant!) so it has to be a great single from Bauhaus for my suggestion.

    Cheers.

    David Bowie - Moonage Daydream or the excellent early track Let Me Sleep Beside You and would suggest the Bowie at the Beeb version.

    The Tom Jones medley from their Live In Las Vegas album is an amusing reminder of Country Dick Montana.

    Though I don't see myself getting too bent out of shape if anyone breaks the "rules".

    Now what was it somebody famous said about "fooling some of the people".

    Vic, you surprise me...never having heard of Pluto Shervington. If any Radio Scotland presenter was to know about him I'd have thought it would be you. I can usually rely on you to get a bit of reggae or ska etc. on the programme.

    Julie - Good shout with the Pluto Shervington track. You threw me for a bit cos I knew them as 'The Spirit Of Reggae' - Not all of his stuf is all that great (not a massive reggae fan) but 'Dat' is one I remember well as even charting in the UK. Lyrics are funny too!

    Vic - dinnae fash yersel aboot nae kennin Pluto Shervington - I would challenge most people in the UK nowadays to have come across him - and you are young enough to be totally excused! LOL

    Jim: "Your Honour" got to number 19 in the charts in 1982. It's not an outstanding track, just a pleasant enough, gently funny wee song. I wouldn't say he's the best reggae artist either, but the song title fitted the bill. "Dat" reached number 6 in the charts.

    Thought you would have spotted by now that AFR and I have already been doing a bit of gentle teasing.

    Next week our approach may change again, or will it!!!!

    Julie keep firing in your lists, looks like GardenPartyPaul is setting everyone a challenge. I'm sure you're more than up to it.

    Off to turn the taps down. Oil is far too cheap this week, time to get it back up to over $130 a barrel.

    A really underrated band.

    Saw them supporting the Clash back in the day when they got bottled off at The Apollo.

    Probably a bit too punk even for Clash fans.

    Yeah. Let's have more Suicide.
