Next Week's themes....

Bryan Burnett | 14:10 UK time, Friday, 22 May 2009

'In the car' and 'making the tea'. They are the two most popular answers you get when you ask folk where they listen to Get It On. I like the thought that families are sitting around the meal table enjoying the diverse music mix of Get It On. It's true that you can't please all of the people all of the time but I'd like to think that in two hours there would be at least one tune for each member of the family. However, is there a single song that is universally loved by everyone in the house? That's what Thursday's show is all about.
As usual get in touch by phone, text or email or why not join up and leave a comment on the blog...

Monday:
As it's holiday Monday then anything goes on tonight's Get It On. It's themeless Monday so get in touch with the songs that will make your day....

Tuesday:
Tonight's theme is unavoidable - it's aging! Songs about getting old and growing up all count so how about Turn Back Time,Help the Aged or even Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen?

Wednesday:
We did morning songs last week, so this week's it's songs of the night. What are the best songs written about the hours after the sun has gone down. Get in touch with your after dark anthems...

Thursday:
It's family favourites on tonight's Get It On. What's the one song that unites your family or maybe the song that has special meaning for everyone in your clan? Whether it's dad rock or teen pop is there a song that you are all agreed on? Email your suggestions or call or text during the show...

On Monday I think it would be really neat
If the show commenced with Head Hands and Feet

Monday

Warming Up The Band - Heads Hands and Feet - Albert Lee - an unsung hero
The Good's Gone - The Who - Not often heard but atmospheric

Tuesday

Old Rocking Chair's Got Me - Richard Thompson - He's already got the beret
Silver Threads (Among The Gold) - Jerry Lee Lewis - Old rockers never die

Wednesday

On An Island - Dave Gilmour - A warm summer night captured in a song
St. Louis Blues - Flamin' Groovies - Some way from New Orleans for this classic

Thursday

I Dunno - Georgia Satellites - A familial hit
All Shook Up - Elvis Presley - I remember bobble hats moving in time in the rear view mirror

Further to #1...Wednesday:

If to hear 'Sunset Hymn' is just not to be,
please play 'Every Night' by Sir Paul McCart-ney,
Not his version though,
I'd prefer Phoebe Snow.

Wull y'ull play us a wee song fae Tull?
At only two minutes, it's no' long at ull.
Great Britain is askin', fae Hull up tae Mull,
"When wull ye play us some Jeth-e-ro Tull?"

Thurr's nae flute in this song, so that's no' an excuse.
Furr months noo we've taken aw' sortsay abuse.
Dae the right thing, Loon; yir finger oot pull,
And geezaw a blast ay yon Jeth-e-ro Tull

It's a lovely wee song, it's evocative lyrics
Will leave your producer, Miss Babs, in hysterics!
Don't let them say 'Get It On' can be dull

Ah'm glad to see that life's no' dull
We hae a request for Jethro Tull.
Julie will wonder if she will see
Or hear of Jake Thackerey.
But I'm no worried caws us loons
Will defer ower to iChoons
If Bryan doesn'tgive Jools her way
And play some Jake Thackeray.

I think that I will have to tak
A look on this new Aipple Mac
At this guy Jake Thackeree,
(For I don't know him, who is he???)
Hey Julie I mean you no offence,
It must be me, I can be dense!

But I still come back to this one,
Please play Dave Gilmour's 'Fat Old Sun'
Against this song there is no measure,
Caws it gives me so much pleasure
Come on Babs, you can't avoid,
this great guitarist from Pink Floyd
To hear this song, I would like........

A mood has been growing (I'll give it a voice)
Of much disillusion at persistent choice
Of artistes whose music appeals to the many,
While Jethro and Thackray - well there's hardly any.

The policy's ingrained, appealing's in vain
It's T Rex and Queen till it's numbing the brain.
A radical remedy - ask Jeff if he'll
Just scrap Get It On and play archived John Peel.

Forget musical genres, we all know there are only two kinds of music. Good music and the other kind. We all have our favourites, but we share this fundamental truth.

Bryan and his team understand this better than we, the difference being the responsibility they have to all of their listeners.

Glen does, IMO, make a valid point. But I do not envy the team this balancing act they have to perform four times a week.

P.S. If Iain Anderson can play Ian Anderson, why can't GIO?

P.P.S. This whiskey is very smooth. In fact, I'm gonna pour me another.

But it's not a song by Jake Thackray.....(you're right Scotch silly me)
It would have been good for the theme of AM
But I obviously wasn't on top of my game
But now that I am on the ball
Play me this song from Declan's Moll
It's Narrow daylight by Diana Krall

Each and every weekend, on I log
with a list compiled for the GIO blog.
Today, however, was like no other time.
For all requests were set in rhyme.
Even although I don't know why
I thought I should also try
to adopt this poetic style.....
but only for a little while.
For if there was a couplet for every song
my poem would be unacceptably long
and my verse would grow increasingly weak.

So here are my thoughts for coming week.

First, a Springsteen list for each day:

M - Janey don't lose your heart
T - Walk like a man
W - Dancing in the dark
T - Born to run

Monday

Stronger than Jesus - A Camp
C'mon, c'mon - Von Bondies
Have a little faith in me - Jewel
Believe me baby, I lied - Trisha Yearwood
La cienga just smiled - Ryan Adams
Every River - Kim Richey
Hurry on now - Alice Russell
Blessed - Brett Anderson
Back to me - kathleen edwards

Tuesday

Grow old with me - Mary Chapin Carpenter
When you are old - Gretchen Peters
My Generation - The Who
Martha - Tom Waits
It was a very good year - Sinatra
Alove that will never grow old - Emmylou Harris
Cat's in the cradle - Harry Chapin
My old school or Reelin' in the years - Steely Dan

Wednesday

Until the night - Billy Joel
Because the night - Patti Smith
Back in the night - Dr Feelgood
Boogie Nights - Heatwave
Strangers in the night - Sinatra
Heartache tonight - The Eagles
December 1963 (oh what a night) - The Four Seasons
Hollywood night - Bob Seger

Thursday - to follow

'Simba', meaning lion, is the only one which springs to mind. Also, words that end with er or re would suffice if only you would quit rolling your rrrrrrs.

Yup - I find it much easier to think of tunes when there is a theme. Not having a theme means basically asking for tunes you like... That could be any one of thousands of tunes for me! So for Monday I just did a quick list and left it at that. I immediately came up with more but I am sure others will choose great stuff so hopefully in the end it will be a great show anyway.

Wellll....for the fourth time of tryin',
I appeal to Miss Babs and Bryan,
My request is just one,
Dave Gilmour's 'Fat Old Sun'
If you don't play that I'll be cryin....

So it's a holiday out there (is that right?)
The sun seems to be shining bright
But I'll have to tune in
To listen again

Yes Jim but Goin' Down is up there with my 'worst of Ferry' list. It sounds like everything a Bryan Ferry record should not sound like. It's pub rock at its worst. It's like a bar band playing some Dire Straits record you haven't heard of.

There is obviously a connection here for me as I seem to finding songs on ageing far too easily. Anyway here goes;

Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen ( I remember this being played on a Spanish music station when I was on one of my last party holidays, having spent the past few nights realising that the age gap between myself and the women I was attemtping to chat up was getting bigger. This had also been experienced / noted by the guys I was on holiday with and we had sat around the pool that day talking about this, and of course our 'glory days' (it's called man talk). Then as I was getting ready to go out it wa splayed and it really did hit home. Didn't stop me going out and trying again, but I did move up the age range.

In the Winter - Dusty Springfield ( A great Janis Ian song and an alternative to Goin Back which I am sure will be requested by many)

Night Moves - Bob Seger (ah, the memories)

Waitin Around to Die - Townes Van Zandt (just a great song)

Tower of Song - Leonard Cohen / Marianne Faithful

YOUR AGE BY ALCOHOL MATHS

DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute.
Work this out as you read.
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have alcohol (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have alcohol each week).

The next two numbers are

Moonlight Feels right / Starbuck
A real finger tapper whilst stuck in those jams and a great 30 second marimba solo in the middle.

Up all night (Frankie Miller Goes To Hollywood) / Counting Crows
Great title and great song

Piano in the dark / Brenda Russell

We Belong to the Night / Ellen Foley

Dark Shadows / Hercules Mandarin

.....and so this post doesn't look exactly like #33 above, I'd like to second Night Moves / Bob seger. In fact make that Fifth Night moves as it has been asked for four times in last week to no avail.

Night Moves realy is one of Segers finest tracks, always loved the line "working on mysteries without any clues", really hope that gets played.

At the Dark End of the Street - James Carr (because it is just so good)

Back in the Night - Dr Feelgood (tragically underrated)
Hold Back the Night - Graham Parker & the Rumour (we don't hear enought of him)
Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked in Tonight - Fleetwood Mac, name checking themselves as Earl Vince and the Valiants, (totally unlike the blues band that they were at the time, I think it was Jeremy Spencer on vocals, and maybe this is a little Freudian slip for me!)

Midnight on the Bay - Neil Young, Used to get played a lot at Ayr Pavilion when they had the rock night club, always a great way to end the night.

Night Birds - Shakatak, "Easy Listening" classic with a twinkly piano sequence.

Deep Purple Dream - I remember the Donny & Marie version but it would be good to hear the original, I think it was Nino Tempo & April Stevens.

This last one allegedly gave rise to the name of the rock group Deep Purple who's song Black Night would therefore rate as a "double whammy" !!

* Chris Wood, Eliza Carthy, The Young Copper Family & Trans-Global Underground: Cold, Hailey, Rainy Night
From the wonderful The Imagined Village co-op effort which I've been touting here for months without success

* Vic Reeves: Black Night
A Giorgio Morodor-a-like cover

* Sluggy Ranks: Speak To Me/Breathe
From the inspired Dub Side of the Moon reggae cover of the *entire* album

* Symarip: Skinhead Moonstomp
From 1970, long before Skinheads were subverted by the National Front

and, as you semi-promised to play a Tull track if it were on-theme:
* Jethro Tull: Fire at Midnight
It's SHORT too!

But above all:
* Richard Thompson: The Dimming of the Day

Thursday - Family Favourites:

Well! This has been the toughest theme EVER! We've been haggling in the house here for several days as to what artiste/track to go for and after finally getting down to Fool On The Hill by the Beatles (one of my all time favourite songs!) and Marrakesh Express by Crosby, Stills & Nash, we have finally gone for Waiting For The Day by Gerry Rafferty. Around 2003 we went to see the big man himself in the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. After falling asleep during the rubbish support act and then breaking out the peanuts during the pause before GR came on stage, we saw the BEST gig I have ever attended! The band was massive and had a brilliant 'wall of sound' and of course Gerry's voice was golden as always!

He pretty much did all of the City To City album, as you might expect, and the very last track on the album - Waiting For The Day - is perhaps the most surprising choice as an otherwise relatively plodding rock/country vibe is kicked right into the stratosphere by the gorgeous link sections where the song has a change of pace and GR sings these beautiful lyrics:

"Water of life pour your light down on me
Take me out of this darkness, sweet star of the sea
Water so sweet you can open my eyes
You can bring down the rain on this desert so dry"

This is the one track that we always punch up on the CD player in the car when on long drives - I'll never grow tired of it.

We have a cat called Rusty who quite often disappears and so one of us (the wife, son or myself) has to go looking for him.
If ever asked by the others what we are doing, the reply is always sung
Looking for Rusty the Cat

Looking For Lewis and Clark by The Long Ryders.

First, can I just say thanks for playing "When you are old" on Tuesday and "Boogie nights" earlier tonight, plus lots of other great songs. I've really enjoyed the last two shows (apologies I missed most of Monday and have yet to listen again).

My wife and I are blessed in that we have similar tastes in music... and my eldest son likes Springsteen (so clearly I did something right). Alas, the younger one is at that stage in life when he has to be at the opposite end of the spectrum on any given subject. However, as I am now getting into holiday mode, I recall that there are two songs we all like because of the association with a great summer hol.

First - Que sera by Diego Torres - which was a standard song on the setlist of a pianist in our hotel in Rome a few years back. Every time we hear this song we remember the four of us in a corner booth in the piano bar after dinner and a stroll, chilling out with a bottle of chianti and two cokes, listening to the cheesy pianist.

Second - Gulf of Mexico by Alabama, which was on a CD my brother compiled for me when we visited the Gulf Coast and Florida Keys. Listen to the lyrics - they describe the sunshine state to perfection.

These songs always takes all of us back a few years. We like them because of the memories they conjure up.

When my three kids were born, having the Ozark mountain Daredevils as the family song must have been 100/1 shot. However they latched onto this song one day in the car and for weeks after all I would get is 'Dad play the old cat on the roof' (which was the first line, not the title). They learned it off by heart and it became our car journey anthem. In fact somewhere on a home holiday video I have three bored kids under 10 belting out ''seems like everyone is out lookin for the sun'' at a bus stop on the costa brava much to the bemusement of locals awaiting their public transport. As any dad worth his salt would do, I fully intend to blackmail them with it one day.

Hokay, sorry DC. Brief HTML 101 coming up:

If you want to do stuff to some text, you have to put special marker tags around it, so your browser knows to start (and later end) doing the stuff.

All of these tags use angled brackets: <>
to tell your browser: "Oi! This is a tag!", and most tags are abbreviations of the meaning you're intending, and to differentiate between opening and closing tags, you use a slash: /
at the start of the closing one.

So. to emphasise some text, you put an tag before the text, and an tag at the end.

So you enter:
What I wanted to emphasise is that this is important.
and it comes out as:
What I wanted to emphasise is that this is important.

If you want to strongly emphasise text, then it's very similar. You enter:
What I wanted to strongly emphasise is that this is important.
and it comes out as:
What I wanted to strongly emphasise is that this is important.
