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

56 to “No That’s What I Call Music”

    “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.”

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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. 🙂

    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. 😛

    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.

    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.
