No That’s What I Call Music

Posted on April 13, 2014 by

We’re off to watch the Scottish Cup semi-final now, so to keep you all entertained for the next couple of hours here’s a little something we put together at the request of columnist and broadcaster Lesley Riddoch, and for anyone who was listening to Radio Scotland’s “Headlines” this morning.

Hopefully we won’t need it ourselves by 3.30pm. #COYR

JOHNNY CASH’S VERSION OF HURT?!?!?

WHAT ABOUT THE SUPERIOR NINE INCH NAILS ORIGINAL VERSION?!?!?!

Croompenstein

What? no Dick Gaughan 🙁

heedtracker

“and for anyone who was listening to Radio Scotland’s “Headlines” this morning.” I missed it but wild guess here with jaw dropping corrupt BBC in Scotland going “We all hate Alex Salmond don’t we, so vote NO.”

abystander

On the weekend of the last SNP conference before the referendum the electronic version of the Scotsman is leading with Nigel Farage making some comment “somewhere in England”

This is beyond bizarre.

John Walsh

“Lawyers,Guns and Money” Warren Zevon

Seasick Dave

COYS!

(That’s all the way from Rio de Janeiro)

BTW, I was talking to a couple of Brazilians in one of the bars on Monday and they were asking about the Referendum and were very clued up about it! They couldn’t believe that No was an option and that we hadn’t become Independent years ago.

Ach well, not long now…

Morag

Weird. Sorry to disrupt. Embarrassingly, I just realised what I did wrong. *red face*

The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black”.

“Run For Your Life” by the Beatles.

“Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now”, of course.

“Shiny Happy People” by R.E.M. No, wait, That’s one of OURS!

Helpmaboab

caz-m,

Would someone please joins the dots for me here.

I would answer your question but I’m too busy admiring the groovy patterns in my wallpaper. Also, I could murder a pizza just now…

davidhk

How about bob Dylan’s “I don’t believe you” , “union sundown” or “maybe someday”

PS, we need Lesley riddoch back on radio Scotland she knows how to question politicians and doesn’t take any of their nonesense

seasick Dave

Stevie May, ya dancer!

JGedd

What about The Black Freighter by Nina Simone? ( A bit tougher in sentiment than some of the stuff here since it’s by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht.)
Or Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, any track?

Alba4Eva

Lets hope the battle we are in doesn’t go like that… Dons were by far the better team, but for some reason, couldn’t put the game away… lets learn from that… we have to put the game away in September. I dont want a nail-biter… I want a clear unabiguous victory.

Taranaich

Jings Rev, putting “Gloomy Monday” on there is reckless and dangerous!

LIFETIME BAN

That’s the spirit 🙂

blairtahuille

YES. Close to the Edge. Armadillo, 2nd. May. Let’s buy all the T-Shirts s. Progressive or what?

Seasick Dave

Dons were by far the better team

Willie Miller thought otherwise.

Andy-B

O/T Rev, I do apologise.

This seems promising,sorry if its already been posted.

O/T Sunday politics

Red Road flats demolition will not feature as part of the Games opening, (safety grounds – nothing to do with people power & 17,000 petition; Aye sure GCC)

onwards

Sunday Bloody Sunday, going from Scotland on Sunday’s totally unintentional ‘WAR’ front cover.

Jim T

O/T Red Road flats not now being demolished as part of CG opening ceremony link to bbc.co.uk

Chief exec Gravenberg said:
“Glasgow 2014, Games partners and key stakeholders, including Police Scotland and Glasgow Housing Association, are not prepared to allow what was proposed to be a positive act of commemoration to create risk for all concerned, including the communities of north east Glasgow.”

Commemoration? Really?

Jim T

typing too fast again *Grevemberg*

Aidan

For Blair McDougall and his team, ‘Monster’ by The Automatic (“What’s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? Is it a monster?” – to which the answer is invariably ‘No’).

Or, keeping with the theme but having less to do with fears of Independence, more descriptive of some high-profile people involved in Better Together: “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)” by a Mr D. Bowie.

As you can see, I’ve really taken Alistair Darling’s ‘monstering’ idea very seriously. 🙂

For Blinky himself, though, one song appears perfect: “They’re Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha” by Napoleon XIV.

CameronB

Oi, what are you trying to do to me. Here I am quitely managing long-term depression and you follow Billie Holiday with the Mary Chain. Oh lordie lord. 🙂

Cab Calloway Band – We The Cats Will Hep Ya

Aidan

Oops. Sorry, Rev.

Ananurhing

How about a loop laid over these tracks of Screaming Lord George, reading Matthew 8:12

“But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness, and there shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth.” N’ nat no?

Jim T

Remind me someone, whatever happened to the tug stationed in Stornoway?

link to bbc.co.uk

I seem to remember some London based bureaucrat doing a bit of cost cutting.

We need to be rid of that lot. VOTE YES

ronnie anderson

@Aidan,thanks Aidan wur you thinking of me when you put that vid up lol,am away wie the fairy’s.
Tiptoe Thru The Tulips With Me,complete with the face paint s c a r y lol.

back on topic (for a wee while)

Muddy Waters & the Stones “Baby Please Don’t Go”
link to youtube.com

or Muddy’s “Southbound Train”
link to youtube.com that one has the immortal “hardworking man” reference and going south so “I don’t have to work anymore”

Pretty apt methinks 🙂

The Man in the Jar

My twopence worth.

From 1970 Atomic Rooster with “Death Walks Behind You”

Dedicated to “Lord” George Robertson. Wooo!

Aidan

@ronnie anderson
Not you, Ronnie! 🙂

When I think of the conversation we had in the street during the fire-alarm episode, I think of this song:

Jim T
I was extremely fortunate to see Muddy Waters, the year of the Brixton riots (1981). He followed Chuck Berry, who came back on-stage later, to jam. My favourite kind. 🙂

Jim T

CameronB
I was given the anthology disc set for Christmas. Not my usual fare, but extremely listenable and his evident love of the music along with his easy style is very relaxing.

The Man in the Jar
That was one of my first albums. Listened to it again via Spotify a month or two back and it’s painfully dated in terms of production quality. Still, brought back a lot of memories of mid teens. 😛

Jamie Arriere

Queen – I’m Going Slightly Mad

Liza Minnelli – Losing my Mind

Sundays – Here’s Where the Story Ends – ‘that little souvenir of a terrible year’

Annie Lennox – No More I Love Yous

And one for Labour for Indy and St Johnstone fans..

ronnie anderson

Alba4Eva

Seasick Dave… Willie Miller (legend that he is), will undoubtedly be infected with Beebeeceeitis, which afflicts all to who conrtact the disease to habitual lying. 😉

shona louise paton

testing….testing……1…2….3, can you hear me at the back? 😀

Tamson

O/T – regarding Red Road demolition: interesting theory developing. The stunt may have been a financial scam to offload the demolition costs to the Games budget, rather than GHA’s.

Craiging_619

With this being possibly our only chance of escaping Westminster rule in our lifetimes, how about that song that goes, “Well if you gotta go, go now, or else you got to stay all night”? Seems like an eery warning.

kininvie

Days later….just remembered this:

Traffic: Sometimes I feel so uninspired
