Bibliogryphon 9,589 Posted June 4, 2013 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. I obviously couldn't see the whole list. Why don't we have a website like that? Though we do have the Daily Mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted June 4, 2013 There's a theme team idea in that I'd be bound... Gregory Coleman (the Amen Break) and George "Buzzy" Bragg ("It's A New Day" by Skull Snaps) both died in the mid-2000s. The problem with a lot of these legendary breaks is that they were played by session musicians who then vanished off the face of the earth. For instance, "The Big Beat" (as sampled, most notably, in "Ain't No Half Stepping" and "Fix Up Look Sharp") was drummed on by a guy called Bucky Ballard, who appears nowhere on the internet except in the listings for that one Billy Squire album. Well, except this obituary of someone who might possibly be his dad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted July 22, 2013 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. I know it's a bit of a woolly genre, but how's about a blue-eyed soul night? Starter for 10: 60s - Charlie Rich - When Something Is Wrong with my Baby Bill Medley - If This Were the Last Song The Action - I'll Keep Holdin' On The Birds - No Good Without You Laura Nyro - Stoned Soul Picnic Young Rascals - How Can I Be Sure? The Waphphle - I Want You Tony Joe White - Rainy Night in Georgia Dion - Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever PJ Proby - You Make Me Feel Like Someone 70s Colin Blunstone - Mary Won't You Warm My Bed Bobby Charles - Street People Ace - How Long Eddie Hinton - I Can't Be Me 80s Elvis Costello - High Fidelity Squeeze - Tempted Culture Club - Time (yes, really) Orange Juice - All That Ever Mattered Prefab Sprout - Hallelujah 90s and beyond Under the Cold Blue Stars - Josh Rouse What Else Could It Be - Lambchop Sweet Days Waiting - Teenage Fanclub I Love You - The Bees She Don't Hear Your Prayer - Cousteau Aim High - Paul Weller But if you even think about playing Holding Back the Years I'll firebomb the station Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a million miles away from a strange soul thing we were planning ourselves to include a few odd covers - Ash doing Get Ready Here I Come and the like. Some good calls - fucking great call re Culture Club and they get ignored so bad they're probably one of our acts now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spin it backwards, see if you can hear the voices. It would involve a shit load of pre-recording and editing but I was wondering about dropping backwards announcements and the like into a Halloween show next year.

Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted February 17, 2014 If you watch the early 90s "Celebrity Squares" repeats on Challenge, a fun game is to see if you can get three-in-a-row of now dead contestants. Yesterday gave you Wendy Richard, Willie Rushton and Dame Hilda Bracket as a diagonal, with John Inman, Joan Sims and Tony Gerrard as additional stiffs. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
