  Monday
  Happy to endorse Black Magic Woman and well done for picking the far superior Santana version. It'll let all these kids who have 'mastered' it on guitar hero hear the maestro at work.
  
  Good theme which could generate a long list but I'm gonna go for one which I've unsuccessfully asked for before but which is perfect for Monday.
  
  Sweet Illusion / Junior Campbell
  
  The lesser known of the ex marmalade guy's two solo hits but far superior to Hallelujah Freedom. Great arrangement and some really soulful backing vocals...and please don't dare talk over the wonderful intro especially where the horns kick in :-)
  
  Have a good week Vic! Wonder what Adam from Rio's gonna suggest for you for thursday....

  OK, however, when I put it on my Birthday List at Amazon (thats dot UK, not our one) I was told that people who asked for Tutti Frutti also asked for The High Life!
  
  Shurely not.

  Dont trust those "others bought" links on Amazon. Some are bizarre. Tutti Frutti is superb, though I have not seen it in a very long time.
  
  As for the High Life an episode was on BBC 3 or 4 the other night and it was...different. Anyway my pal is an air steward and I swear he has modelled himself on Alan Cunninghams character. Bizarre on several counts.
  
  But hey the new Wilco album is outstanding.

  Yeah that would be great! It will only be released to 'premium users' at the moment, so it's by no means cheap. I don't think iTunes would be too happy with giving it away for free! It is a quality service though, especially for people who don't need to have constant access to the latest tunes all the time or who want to use it to find really obscure stuff (which it is EXCELLENT for!)

  good fun tonight - we were spoiled for choice. Funny when the show was just an hour we all thought the frustrations would be over if we had 2 hours and on nights like this we could have gone on for 3!
  I know there's been a bit of debate about how much the team value the blog comments versus Facebook - we love the interaction with both! The great thing about the blog is the ability to give you more stories from the office, the show, Bryan's life and our general thoughts on things that crop up. Facebook offers another area online for folk who may not go to blogs, but are using social networking as part of their lives and for us - it's the chance to give you all most convenient and quickest way to interact with the show and get some great music and stories on air. So whichever way you want to get in touch ....we value it!
  Ok..bloggers, I'll leave you to it and look forward to seeing your thoughts on falling and vanity for the rest of the week.

  Babs, since you're in charge, what about suggesting a theme at the next team meeting? Hows about listeners music postcards from holiday? I'm just back from a surfing week in Devon so eg "Wipeout" would do, and I'm about to head off in the boat for a few days so "Sailing" by Sutherland Brothers would be appropriate!
  
  Just a thought....

  It'll pick up late August early September. The holiday season always knocks folk out of their routine. Having said that, a number of familiar names are making their requests via e-mail.

  It coulod be that the introduction of facebook has changed the dynamic completely. On the blog there has tended to be early posts by most of the regular bloggers and to a certain extent they are discussed a wee bit and there is a good bit of lateral thoughts / discussions / funnies. Face book is instant almost on the night so....it must be awfully difficult for the production team, never mind the presenter, to be able to recall good suggestions here maybe 90 - 150 posts back and to compare the merits of them to the facebook suggestions coming through and on top of that txt messages and emails.
  
  The show is obviously more successful and the music is still generally good so I dont think it really matters. The GIO group on last.fm is all but finished to be honest as there are practically no discussions there anymore.

  Correct - blogs are inherently more about the generalised discussions which can grow out of the various threads and are way better at engendering a feeling of community connected and bound together by them. Facebook can't ever touch that as it's essentially a community of EVERYONE with little focus.

  Day 4 in the Big Get it on House.
  Having successfully completed the previous day's task, the housemates were rewarded with a delivery of alcohol. This made Norrie unusually grumpy but Scotch git made up for it by beaming like a belisha beacon. This was despite the fact that his requests for Family and Maire Brennan had been rejected yet again.
  
  Jimfraeerskine and Captain Ramius were in the techno room writing a viral programme that would gazump facebook.
  
  DC was in the pool sailing his remote control model yacht. This annoyed Julie from Edinburgh and Jan from Rutherglen who were trying to catch some rays in peace, especially when his cry of ahoy there me hearties set Scotch off on another tirade of pirate jokes.
  
  Glen was in the bedroom preparing for that nights task which would involve entertaining the house with a stream of one liners without getting moderated.
  
  Roxyjohn and PaulfromAyr were in the kitchen. ''Can we listen to Get It On in here'' asked Paul. ''Oh Yeah on the radio'' answered RJ. ''It's Vic's last night'' said Paul from Ayr, ''think he's been any good?''
  ''Trash'' said Roxyjohn, ''It's the same old scene''
  
  ''Ha'' piped up Adam from rio, ''You ain't seen nothin yet''
  
  ''what's that supposed to mean''said MaxBGold ''Frankindenny isn't gonna do the slosh again is he''
  
  ''it's not the slosh'', said Frank, ''it's the alleycat''
  
  ''well MaxBGold thinks it's the slosh'' said MaxBGold
  
  In the garden Joe from Linlithgow was unusually quiet.
  ''What's up'' asked Kirstiefromkillie
  ''Nothing'' said Joe, ''I'm just having a few initial thoughts for the week ahead''
  
  ''Im also having a few initial thoughts'' said Hoppo, ''the kind that will probably get me evicted''
  
  ''I wonder whose up for eviction this week,'' said Madmac ''and where's paolopablo''
  
  ''Paolopablo is in the diary room''
  ''Yes Paolo'' asks big brother ''what's on your mind''
  ''Well'' said Paolo ''all these housemates you've evicted already....MikefromShropshire, Cheaperbythepun, Richie NC, Daniellefromcanada, rhytmheid, Consettkebab, Mazzystar1, MrChopsthedwarf, Lordlucanismissing, HarryfaeGatehoose, Paul Handley,Rorysdadfrompolmont, DarvelGav and ECtheNorthSea....is there any chance of getting them back in?''
  
  ''That would be good, ''said Big Brother, ''I know I promised but we're running out of time''
