Toast 16,132 Posted May 24, 2013 3 - I've played Rod Stewart once in my lifetime on radio...surely that's enough! That's me told. What about 'Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner' by Warren Zevon, does that count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Book 3,556 Posted May 25, 2013 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 1,688 Posted May 25, 2013 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 Posted May 25, 2013 Many of the Hussey era Sisters of Mercy tracks would warrant a play, like Kiss The Carpet & Amphetamine Logic.

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.

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted May 30, 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.

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted May 31, 2013 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.

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?

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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Spade_Cooley 9,515 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
