Getting Away With It (all messed up) - James

Yet this morning the playlist appears to be:

Common People - Pulp
All the Pretty Faces - Killers
but still
Bad by U2 ain't far away!

Good thread this!

The Bodies!
I'm sure I had an album by them. We're they from glamorous Rochdale or somewhere similar?
If it's who I'm thinking of their first album had them dressed in Brecon tops on a beach and the opening line of the first track was about throwing stones into the sea.
Or is that a totally different group?

[Iberian Red]

Predictive text!
Should have read Bodeans and Breton!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Bodines. It was Bodines.

They were from Glossop. Someone had to be.

I dig it man. I really dig it.

Apparently Dickov had locked himself in a darkened room on Tuesday afternoon. Rumour has it that he was manically and repeatedly singing this song before emerging with a 4-2-3-1 team sheet.

She's your lover now
and on a lighter note If not for You - the original not the Oliver Neutron Bomb effort!

Love this thread 

A few months ago a friend of my wife's wrote to all her friends and requested Desert island Disc input from everyone with anecdotes and reasons for choice. She then collated the lot,  added links for all the songs, and produced stats of most popular etc. It was a great initiative. Here is my input:

1.   Light Flight - Pentangle:
The 2nd ever LP I bought was The Bert Jansch Sampler and I listened to a lot of Pentangle while at University. During a vacation I was babysitting for friends of my parents and I turned the TV on. In the delay between the sound starting and the TV picture finally arriving I heard this Pentangle song and innocently thought ‘ great – a Pentangle concert on TV’   - I was crushed when an episode of the previously unknown to me ‘Take 3 Girls’  followed

2.   Streets of London – Ralph McTell:
First heard the song live in a student’s room in Front Quad Merton College with about 12 other people – the then almost unknown Ralph McTell had been invited to the College’s Folk Club. Two years later I and ca 1500 others listened to him in concert in the New Oxford Theatre.

3.   Lyin Eyes – Eagles:
The Eagles are my favourite band, and music which I know my wife loves (we have both been to live performances) and so I think of her each time I hear them. But I also remember the moment I first heard any Eagles song – I was walking into the Squash Club in Maastricht – a second home for me for 7 years so I also associate Lyin Eyes with SRC Maastricht.

4.   Riders on the Storm:
Brilliant song with strong memories for me as a passenger in a crazy German friend’s sports car volume high during a violent thunderstorm

5.   The Elements – Tom Lehrer: Live performance version,
Very clever and just to keep the mind sharp; also a reminder of Gilbert & Sullivan

6.   Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen:
My favourite song, and of course video, and it reminds me of going to the brilliant show ‘We Will Rock You’ in London with my wife. But it also has great lyrics for adaptation – I have created versions to suit everything from my daughters to Doncaster Rovers Football Club via eccentric time ceremonies at Merton College 

7.   Lord of The Dance:
Reminders of all the Irish Dancing experiences through my younger daughter.

8.   Life in a Northern Town – Dream Academy
Always loved the song and the video reminds me of some of my upbringing in Yorkshire. However also memorable for an incident with elder daughter who once played me Sunchyme by Dario G – and I said it had been ripped off from Life in a Northern Town. I had to play the song for the unbelieving teenager, and during the slow intro she thought her Dad had completely lost his marbles. The instantaneous change in her face when the chorus came was a picture never to be forgotten.

Luxury: Laptop with MS Office (no internet but infinite battery) so I can record thoughts, write, play with probability calculations…..
