Awesome fella, you want a job? Any experience presenting radio shows?

 

 

Oh aye, and the rest on yers...

 

1 - Keep them suggestions coming and I promise I'll do summat about it.

 

2 - We're a signature away from finding an online partner for our show who'll load it onto a site, giving us a - sort of - listen again option.

 

3 - I've played Rod Stewart once in my lifetime on radio...surely that's enough!

[Toast 16,132]

That's me told.

 

What about 'Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner' by Warren Zevon, does that count?

[Book 3,556]

Awesome fella, you want a job? Any experience presenting radio shows?

 

Thank you/ Oh yes, pleeeease!/ No, never did anything like that.

Me and my younger brother (Booklet, haha!) created some lists about several topics just out of boredom and fun. Those lists are never complete, e.g. I forgot to mention Jamiroquais "Too young to die". Give me 5 minutes and I will name you 5 other songs... It's fun!

[harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689]

How about a show with just drug songs

Starter for 10...(ones I own :-))

 

Legalise it - Winterset

Needle and the damage done - Neil Young

Golden Brown - Stranglers

Pink turns to blue - Husker Du

Born Slippy - Underworld

Sorted for Es and Whizz - Pulp

Meds - Placebo

Just like honey - Jesus and Mary chain

Heroin - velvet underground

Hurt - NIN or Johnny Cash (both are brilliant)

Not exactly sure Legalise It is about drugs, Welshy - slightly misleading title. But what do I know, I only wrote the fucker.

 

Couple of Mike Skinner's on-one tunes I'm quite keen on - nails the 2am love-ya-mate feel in Weak Become Heroes and the less euphoric 6am moments with Blinded by the Lights.

[Grande Pablo 109]

Many of the Hussey era Sisters of Mercy tracks would warrant a play, like Kiss The Carpet & Amphetamine Logic.

 

Ultimately, every word is a drug reference in The Fell Good Hit of The Summer by Queens of the Stone Age

I believe our chat the other day went like this; "Harry, is "Kiss the wall stroke the floor" a drug song?", "No, but "legalise it" is".

 

Anyway MPFC scratch that one.

[themaninblack 2,112]

I seem to remember 'Some Candy Talking' by the Jesus and Mary Chain causing a bit of a brouhaha when I was a nipper...

[time 8,596]

Hero and Heroine. The Strawbs

[Bibliogryphon 9,571]

Classic drug song

 

Ebeneezer Goode by the Shamen & Everything starts with an E by E Z Possy

[themaninblack 2,112]

The original working title for New Order's 'World in Motion' in 1990 was 'E for England'...

[maryportfuncity 10,645]

Reet gang, back from a couple of days break in Guernsey (perfect destination if - like me - you think the whole concept of holidays somewhat over-rated). Did amuse myself doodling druggie show ideas over there, so summat will get pre-recorded over the next week or so and I'll give yers a heads up when we broadcast it.

[maryportfuncity 10,645]

Oh aye, and it'd be convenient if I made the same mistake as Welshie and slipped in Legalize It, right?

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

I can't remember if I mentioned this before on here, but in a moment of boredom I put together a Spotify playlist solely of songs by musicians who'd murdered someone. Unsurprisingly it's nearly entirely blues, country and west coast hip-hop.

 

They hang their heads and cry: a playlist of musicians who actually killed someone

I did summat similar recently Spade, though I extended it to the likes of Charles Manson and gave pride of place to the Black Metal wars in Norway in which one singer murdered the singer in a rival band.

Mary, you may know the answer to this.

I read, a long way back, that Marvin Gaye had been in the frame for murdering a singer?

I cant remember her name but I could have sworn it was somebody he had sung with and Im fairly certain that the whispers were that he had bashed her head in with a hammer.

Am I imagining this?

I always thought that was Sam Cooke.

Whatever happened to that guy anyway? "Let's Get It On" is one of the most famous songs of all time and it seems like he was pretty huge for a while, but then, one day, just BOOM, he was nowhere to be seen.

I think perhaps it was David Ruffin of the Temptations, rumoured to have caused the brain tumour that killed Tammi Terrell, good friend and singing partner of Mr Gaye.

 

In the billiard room, with the lead piping, whilst on cloud nine.

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

The Temptations managed to fit more sex pests, woman beaters, junkies and general sociopaths into their ranks than pretty much any other band.

Aye, that's as I recall it. Gaye really cared about Terrell and killed nobody. I think it's right that Gaye's said - just before shooting Marvin - "This is the last 45 you'll ever hear!"

Disappointing that they were fairly average when I saw them years ago, then.

I woulld have thought Layla might have made it in to the list. The co-writer, Jim Gordon, did time for the murder of his mother.

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

Layla's the last track on the list. He's still locked up, as this delightful Californian Prison Service search engine will tell you:

 

 

Being as he played the drums on "Apache" by the the Incredible Bongo Band, he may be the second most-sampled musician of all time, just behind perennial deathlist possibility Clyde Stubblefield.
