p ayre

just a few to think about...



"brass in pocket " The Pretenders

"money" Flying Lizzards

"money's too tight to mention" Simply Red

"opportunities(lets make lots of money)" Pet Shop Boys

"money" Liza Minelli

DarrSimon and peeps,



Morning all,



my penneth goes to "Gold Digger" by Kanye West (feat. Jamie Foxx, with samplings from Ray Charles).



Has anyone else spotted an unusual big yellow disc in the sky today ?



Ticketynerecastingaclootboo

Dirty Cash - Stevie V

At some point, someone is bound to try to wangle Genesis in here somehow, so hows about "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)". Where's the link? It comes from the album "Selling England By The Pound" (Spike...?)

Anything by Johnny Cash. How's about Born And Raised In Black And White.?

Morning All



How about "Wall Street Shuffle" by 10CC.



Deebee X

Morning Simon and fellow bloggers,



Hope everyone had good weekends. It's a lovely day here in sunny East Anglia.



Simon, please could you play

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY by ABBA,

Or PENNY LANE by THE BEATLES

Or GOLD by SPANDAU BALLET



Many Thanks Mcw x

O.H.M.S. by SLADE

#6 don't get me started on football!



SAVE YOUR KISSES FOR ME by BROTHERHOOD OF MAN



won't be on here much today as the it support guys are givin me a new laptop so I'm having to use my iPhone to post. Not the easiest thong in the world!

Morning all



Before seeing Paul's post above I tweated for "Aisle of Plenty" from Selling England By The Pound - thinking laterally, supermarket price wars etc.



No doubt it has not a cat in hell's chance so I'll consider it as having "taken one for the team" in the interests of trying to get something a little unusual played :-)



But just in case..........5:55pm!



SuBo for track 2 today I reckon. Is there a device that can automatically detect Playlist songs and mute sound for the duration? I reckon there's an opportunity there for someone - there's software that can detect what a song is, and there's a publically published playlist.



Therefore I reckon it's technically do-able!

Good moaning Simon,



How about anything by Johnny Cash, say "Ring of Fire"? Or something a bit more balladic like "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young?



There again, you could always broadcast a documentary about economic stimulation and keep Mr Thompson happy. I can just picture builders across the country tuning-in to hear about that! Hang on in there...



Cheers, Hampshire Dave

Morning Simon - if you haven't fallen asleep yet! I'm with your alter ego, Darren...."Money for Nothing" - Dire Straits (or was it Mark Knopfler on his own?) - short term memory loss.....who am I...

#22 It was Dire Straits but it was with moneybags Sting.



Love the show, the host, myself, the staff, the other blogpoppets, the mods,the tweeters, the browsers, the callers, the emailers, the face bookers, the ones that don't even know the show exists (shame on you) and the listeners. KERNOW BYS VYKEN!!!

Simon,



Alternatively - Take The Money and Run - Steve Miller Band





Nic

Thanks Darren - are you well?

#25 Very well, how come your name hasn't changed yet?

Hi Simon, Can you play either O.H.M.S by SLADE or IN FOR A PENNY by SLADE. Can you please play them for all members of the facebook group LETS GET-SLADE-FAR FAR AWAY,WAY UP THE CHARTS

Hey folks, I have a spare ticket to see Charley Boorman at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on Wednesday. If you're interested PM me on FB (sounds like some kind of secret code..)



Deebee X

#27 I am willing to bet a penny that Slade will not be played simple on the grounds that the BBC cannot be seen to be unduly influencing the charts, (apart from the playlist, obviously).

Anybody seen this on the web? As the new endogenous growth theory suggests, TFP growth is closely related to accumulation of the intangible capitals, such as human capital and research and development.

#33 Watch this space....no change of title - just more responsibility...I'll tell you when it is in the public domain...

#34 - Anyone fancy a pint?

Bit quiet on here today isn't it? Everyone must be enjoying the sunshine!

I've been lurking today, Kev. Not much to say for myself.

It's a lovely spring day here (East Yorks) and I'm listening to the birdsong coming through my office window.

Hi Tortie,



In much the same way, the seagulls are screeching away on top of our building. I work on the 8th floor, with a great view of the sea. To my left is ther Isle Of Wight, to my right, the Isle of Purbeck. Lovely!

Hello anybody,

Just got back in from walking the mud sponges.



Whilst out walking, I sat on a fallen bough and watched a buzzard drifting on the thermals.



Some days, you just have to breathe deeper....



Hope the back's on the mend Kev.



Tickety

#40 - There's a lot of love in the room today!



Yes, back's on the mend, hopefulyl, thanks. No painkillers now, so just backache, but it's bearable, and I drove 85 miles with no problem this mroning to get to work, so it must be getting better!



Cheers,



Kev

...85 miles to get to work...cheesypeeps !! Rather you than me !

Luckily I don;t have to do it every day. I stay over Mon-Fri. Hopefully we should be moving here son, once the house is sold...

Right, off to a well known supermarket's cafe for dinner (tea?), before Mr. Mayo's show. See ya later.

It's another quiet Monday on the blog. Can I apply for the job of tumbleweed collector?

Paul



You can sing that over the tune of The Jam's Butterfly Collector .....

Well done DeeBee - but will you get a mensh?

Is it too late to suggest Drinking Rum and Coca Cola (working for the yankee dollar)?

#47 No mention. NO MENTION! I was screaming at the radio. Good thing I wasn't in a traffic queue - my fellow drivers might have worried about road rage. Still, I got my song played. And at the top of the show too - that's something, I guess...



Maybe I need to change my name - drop the number. It's clearly confusing Simon - people aren't supposed to have numbers as part of their name, are they. Darren, how easy is it to change your username? - you seem to be doing it quite a lot lately!



Deebee (without the 9) X

#49 Now calm down Debs...it is only a radio programme!

#49 Thanks Rev, I needed that.



Although I'm not sure how Simon would feel about you calling it "only" a radio programme..

Must have been the researchers day off - Congrats anyway DB.



'usual pleasantries'

#52 Thanks mtd - although I tweeted as well. How was your weekend?

#53 Really good thanks - have you seen the piccies on FB?

#54 yes I have - looks like you all had a great time!

Hey up, What have I missed?

#49 At the top of this page in the right hand corner, you will see in above your name the word "SETTINGS". Click it and change your name.



I've been busy the last two hours, anyone get a nention?

2/5 played but didn't hear a mention though

Sometimes it is just enough to be part of makes the show and sometimes a little mention for the dedication is nice.



Never mind, if Simon sticks with this slot for at least another year minus, say 8 weeks of holidays maximum then we are looking at another 220 shows.



If there is a mention in 5%, (11) of those shows then we should count ourselves lucky.



Maybe that could be the running game. From now on the aim is to get all the regular blogpoppets up to a 5% average.

For the benefits of deebee, this is proof that names can be changed.

(One off post).

Darren - see #60 - have you changed your name again? ;-)



I wonder if it is THE Simon Mayo?

I was wondering that as well Tricky. I thing the clue is in the second letter of the name - I don't think it is either of them (it's not me either btw).



mtd ffb xxx

Exactly mtd...



I missed most of the show last night. Did he play Pet Shop Boys at all?

#63 - ignore. I checked the tracklisting...:-)

I missed it as well - I had a day off and usually only listen in the car. Going to miss it today as well cos I'm off sick (nothing serious).



mtd ffb xxx



ps the modders are taking their time......

Get well soon mtd!

#62 told you - Pretty sure it was Darren.

They did play the pet Shop Boys last night, (Opportunities), but I am unaware of many people having their name read out last night. I guess our beloved leader was to busy.



My choice again for the day is "MONEY by PINK FLOYD"
