Morning all



Am I first?!



OK - "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge, please Simon. I think that covers the subject quite well.



Loved Jack Johnson (and the show, of course!)



Well done for all the mentions yesterday, Blogpeeps



Tortie x

Simon,



The blog felt quite loved yesterday with all the mentions! Not supposed to be here, have already tweeted my suggestions, but please would you consider playing MY BROTHER by TERRY SCOTT. My son is due back from University today, much to his sisters joy and delight!



Looking forward to hearing Scouting For Girls.



Mcw x

Morning Simon,



Great show last night. Thanks for choosing songs picked by us bloggers. Most appreciated.



Anyway, as I have tweeted already, I will reiterate my choices here;





SISTERS ARE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES by ANNIE LENNOX AND ARETHA FRANKLIN



DANCE LITTLE SISTER - TERENCE TRENT DARBY



YOU ARE MY SISTER - ANTHONY AND THE JOHNSONS



SISTER OF MERCY - THOMPSON TWINS



and a great handover song;



TWO SISTERS by TOM WAITS



Cheers,



Kev

Simon,



Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms please.

Looking forward to Scouting For Girls - saw them at Chris Evans' farewell Drivetime party at the O2 last year and they were excellent.



Happy HumpDay!



Nic

Forgot to say - sorry, but after last night's closing song, I still don't like Springstein!



Looking forward to hearing Scouting for Girls - I was singing along to them this morning, whilst stuck in traffic on the A63 (it must have been bad - Lyn mentioned it!)

#5 the signing or the traffic? :-)

OK, singing, not signing!

Morning all,



BROTHER LOUIE by HOT CHOCOLATE pleze.



(There's nothing wrong with a few [good] brackets){that's what I say}



(Hampshire) Dave

# 5

Lyn mentioned the traffic (but if she had heard the signing, it wouldn't have been worth mentioning!) Just adding to the brackets count today!

Have already requested on twitter, but I'm with Kev etc etc, Aretha and Annie please - Sisters are Doing it For Themselves.



And just to reiterate from last night's show...Jack Johnson...Phew phew phew, thanks for the pic Simon!! Much appreciated.

Another neuron has just wandered by with:-



LONG TRAIN RUNNIN' by the Doobie Brothers

HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER by the Hollies

UNCHAINED MELODY by the Righteous Brothers



I could mention all the other groups who are brothers, but I won't...

For brothers:



Big Brother - David Bowie

Brother - Stereophonics

[(So, it's bracket day is it?) (Fine by me) (Back laters - supremely splednid blogging yesterday everyone, sorry I missed the latter part due to family meal and last-minute poor defending)]

{And my first suggested sibling song (such sibbilance) shall be EUROPA AND THE PIRATE TWINS by Lord THOMAS of DOLBYSHIRE. Ay thang yooooo.}

[oh, and I'd love to hear RUFUS WAINWRIGHT on THE SHOW singing LITTLE SISTER, which is a song about.....oh, I've completely forgotten now.....]

(awaits 5 in a row interruption...)

(yes, no, maybe?)

(*removes shirt, receives yellow card, but hey ho, it was the winning goal*)

Morning all



I'm sticking with the cheese for this week and seconding the request for My Brother by Terry Scott.



'usual pleasantries'



mtd ffb xxx

Good morning each! I was singularly unsuccessful today, I suspect because of what Tricky refers to as my tendency for the obscure. Undeterred, however, here are a few suggestions.



'Father To A Sister Of Thought' by Pavement. I have no idea what this is meant to be about, but it is still fab.



'You And Your Sister' by either Chris Bell, or This Mortal Coil. I'd go for the latter.



'Sister Cry' by The Jayhawks



'Sister Sweetly' OR 'Brother John' by Big Head Todd and the Monsters



'Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show' by Neil Diamond



'Brother Jukebox' bt Mark Chesnut.

{Can't help noticing all has gone quiet on a few Blogpoppet fronts of late - music_geek, Ticketyboo, even pedanticnic is a tad less grumpyful, I mean vocal....}

"what's going on" Marvin Gaye superb lyrics...

"like sister and brother" The Drifters



anything by Sisters Sledge or Pointer Sisters

It's the Easter hols, Spike.Perhaps a few of our flock have gone away for a couple of weeks...

(#20 Great shout for THIS MORTAL COIL there, our Man Up North)

"Babylon sister" Steely Dan

(#23, what , fled the nest, chicked into a hotel, having a cracking time with family, getting some eggsercise, telling the odd yolk or two in a pub in Eggseter.....)

[#25 Ooooooh, YES!!!]

Morning all, morning Simon



Quick (coffee break) drop in to the blog - thought I'd contribute to the brackets. I'd just like to add my thanks for the bloggers' recognition yesterday.



My {already tweeted} suggestions are:



"He ain't heavy, he's my brother" - Hollies

"Brothers in arms" - Dire Straits

"Daniel" - Elton John



Laters...



Deebee X

Billy Idol "white wedding"...hey little sister....

Morning Simon and the Blog poppets,



This may just sneak in, but only just.

Could you please play the brilliant 'Babies' by Pulp.

It does mention Sister and it also has my favourite line in a song ever - "I know you won't believe it's true. I only went with her 'cause she looks like you.....My God!!"



Here's hoping



Cheers



Rips



x

#26, yes, flicking through the family albumen, that sort of thing...

No sign of the Cornishman today - anyone Kernow where he is?

Oi Rips - get back to your own blog!!! x

{#30 Welcome to this side of the bloggetry Rippers old chap}

[Think CDFMSDOSINSM is heading to my son's gig in Nancledra]

Nancledra - you can get a cream for that, can't you?

Who called me grumpy? Well I was last night with our performance - the air in Cannock was blue!

Spikethenamechangeking - I am here but so engrossed in PAYE reconciliations, I don't get as much time as I used to to blog...still, no job after April 16th, when you won't be able to shut me up!

#32 - Kev - In his pyjamas?

Rips - Why am I thinking that you have used that phrase yourself...?



Nic

(#35 Yes, from the chemist in Botallack, or failing that, in Antony Passage)

{#36 What is it with you Cheznicians and jobs? Oh dear...}

Handover song suggestions, to get us ready for a bit of the Harding lad.



'Sisters of Mercy' by Leonard Cohen



'Cruel Sister' by Pentangle



'Brother To The Sea' by John Bottomley



'Jesus Brother Bob' by Arrogant Worms. (funny and a bit folky)



or perhaps 'Dream Brother' by Jeff Buckley

(Womble alert - here's the gigging BoyWonder and his chum doing a bit of Frippery meets Preston Reed....you'll have to cut/paste to the beginning of the usual address....youtube.com/watch?v=Homy8ZGHtyg)

Trying "Blitter" again. I'm hoping it will make me rich.

Another thought(!)and another bracket - "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister

[#41 I just hope it makes you happy ;-)]

Morning all, throat is very sore today, life is very good in Stevenage and surrounding areas for Boro fans :-). It's a good job that Simon's beloved Lillywhites reserves no longer use our pitch to kick lumps out of or it might have been struggling in the rain yesterday.



You're all wrong with today's selection. The clear winning choice ought to be Ry Cooder's cover of "Little Sister" from "Bop til You Drop", one of those occasions when a cover really does add something different and reach splednid status.



Whether it will be is another matter, I can but tweet :-)

#43 I am happy. I'm aiming for rich. Did you notice that I was quite nice to Tricky yesterday?

Morning all.



Just wanted to say that I am absolutely LOVING the show Simon - altho I'm still trying to figure out last night's Homework Sucks and it's driving me crrrrrrrrrazy!!!!



Early happy Easter Everyone!



T xxx

(#45 Pleased to hear! Too many sweeties?)

[Gotta go and paint a loo, then have a vindaloo {cues up WC joke for anyone....}, whoo hoooooo!!!!]

#47 Spike, isn,t that the wrong way round. There you are, as you requested. Blimmin' poor taste, though.







Song idea that'll never get played 'of the day':



'Brother Of Mine' by Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe

#54 sorry about the throat Ken - I must have left my germs on the blog.



Great song choice there too...

Left it a while after Trickys last post, and yet can I still claim....50?

Yup!

{#48 *nips back in to say* Huge, almost painful, slap on the back and "Choice of the Day Award", goes to Our Man Up North (huge cheer from the patiently assembled masses) for this song, BROTHER OF MINE, of all my favourite songs {and fridges}, which will always be, of all of my favourite songs, one of my favourite songs, even if it is beyond the 14 minute watershed and has no mention of fridges (nor of floods, caused by my now gushing eyes). *lights dim as he leaves the stage to rapturous applause, the crash of a gong and* ..."Sooooooo, giving all the love you have, never be afraid to show your heart...."}

(#52, {own post, own goal}....actually at 10.22 it should fit in just right, giving time for a well-earned sheese sarnie (apologies to all Liverpudlians). Hang on, have I just started something...a PROG SLOT, in which SIMON gets to eat SARNIE OF THE DAY while we all glaze over at Roger Dean albumen covers?)

#52 and 53 Spike are you still on medication after your fall (or have you stopped taking it and should resume at once?) : )

Spike,



You used to be able to get t-shirts from Viz which said "Don't let the bottom fall out of your world, have a curry and let the world fall out of your bottom"....



Nic

#49 Nothing to do with germs and everything to do with the traditional sport of "congratulating" referees on their ability I'm afraid :-)

(#54 Yes, medication please!)

{#55 LOL, Viz was so cool}

[Just played BROTHER OF MINE by ABWH, and, whilst still weeping on behalf of my many fridges, still can't see R2 playing ANY song with the lyric "Fourth Dimension Dream" in it]

(that's "in it", not *innit* - I fear for our future whilst our "lost" generation of children emancipate themselves from our progrilacious linguicity and arm themselves with gang hate speak and harm culture.)

{Rev, let us pray}

I am struggling to keep up with the blog today - my poor brain's getting all confobulated....



So anyway, just on the slim chance that Simon and/or his researchers haven't given up at about #30 and all gone off to the pub, how's about:



"Little Sister" by Elvis Presley.

OK, my final suggestion is:-



MY BROTHER JAKE by Free



Don't know why I didn't think of it before....

I have three suggestions that came to me whilst on the road:



LITTLE SISTER by CHEAP TRICK



YOUR SISTER CAN TWIST BUT SHE CAN'T ROCK & ROLL by ELTON JOHN



CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION by T REX



Have really enjoyed reading back the banter, nearly washed my screen with tea reading #35 and #37!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh ..... I'm not here. You haven't seen me but .....



Can I suggest a SISTER song to MOSH to for the MIDWEEK MOSH ergo covering all bases, and going for my Drivetime Hat-trick this week:-



This Corrosion by SISTERS of Mercy



Gawd, I'm good!



TTFN



Deevs

Serious suggestion now:



WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by THE DOOBIE BROTHERS



We seem to be mining a rich seam here, this could go to two shows!

Sister Sledge? Sisters of Mercy? Swing out Sister? Shakespeare's Sister?

I won't mention that group of Irish sisters who fancied a bit of dancing.................................... definitely get my coat! ;)

Is that me making those scraping noises from the bottom of the barrel?

#81 I've already mentioned the Sisters Sledge and Shakespeare - it's not until you stop and think about these songs, that you realise how many familial names/titles there are!

Deebee - thank you for remembering me! And Rips - whoever he is!?!!! I was feeling quite left out! :)



MCW - I loved Cheap Trick! Well I guess I still do, but not a hugely airplayed (is this a word?) band! And T-Rex to boot, man your good!

I've done Sisters Of Mercy ...... not literally. Altho there's a thought ....



;-)



Deevs



x

#83 not quite - nobody's mentioned the Andrews Sisters yet..

#85 that's okay Dreamer - don't want anybody to feel excluded.

And what about CAUGHT by THE DOOLEYS? Again, you can get a cream for that...

#89 Could your posts come with a warning first?

#85 Thanks Dreamur, but as you can see not all my choices are good, some are real turkeys!

MCW - I loved those sisters too.....who doesn't like a bit of cheese.

I don't know about you but;



I'M IN THE MOOD FOR DANCING...

#93 did you OD on cold remedies, Tricky?

No, just Ibuprofen (other painkillers are etc., etc.)...

Tricky Kev...me me me!!!

#96 ?

In the mood for dancing.....!!!

I've just thought of a brilliant song for tomorrow...

Jack Johnson is on Bliss (Sky 372) at the mo....just thought i would let you know!
