Morning Simon.



Well the obvious song would be;



WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? by THE SPICE GIRLS



Cheers,



Kev

or;



FATHER AND SON by CAT STEVENS

Morning All



The Who - Who Are You

Good morning Simon - Good Morning all. Hope the journey on A12 goes ok Simon. You virtually pass my door so anytime you want a cup of tea or coffee.......



Anyway, my choice for today is "THE YEARS" by the amazingly, haunting and beautiful SOPHIE ZELMANI. What do you think?

Morning Folks



Sylvia's Mother by Dr Hook



We are Family - Sister Sledge



Family - Dolly Partobn/Carl Perkins



Probably too recent, but Family Man by Fleetwood Mac.

I'm an Ape Man by the Kinks

Good Morning Each! Most of my ancestors are...



'Living In The Past' by Jethro Tull. (Sorry, Tortie)

Or maybe...



'My Ancestors' by either Jimmy Cliff or Taj Mahal. (Both fine versions of the same song)

Or...

'Family Tree' by the marvellous Jake Thackery

I mean Thackray

How about



THE LIVING YEARS - MIKE AND THE MECHANICS?



Cheers,



Kev

And from the album The Essential Collection (1965-1997) by The Carpenters..



'Oldies Medley' D'ya see what I did there?

Family Portrait - Pink

Hows about...



'Forefathers' by Dan Fogelberg

Back to Jake Thackray...



'Grandad'.



There is another (different) song by this title, but I don't want the hat of inappropriate bloggetry. Anyone else want to claim it?

Last one for a bit...



'Mothers And Daughters, Fathers And Sons', by Neil Diamond

Happy Monday Simon & Team and Fellow Blogpopsters



This week I shall mostly be choosing tracks that WON'T get played or menshed - which is reassuringly liberating.





THERE'S NO-ONE QUITE LIKE GRANDMA - ST WINIFREDS SCHOOL CHOIR



GRANDAD - CLIVE DUNN







It's still the 'weekend' in our house - going to see 'Inception' at the IMAX Southampton



:^)

*dons hat of inappropiate bloggetry* #15

Morning all



#7 You're forgiven (just this time!)



I think I'll be sharing KatyMac's hat:



MOTHER OF MINE - NEIL REID

#17. I'd be interested to know what you think of Inception, Katy. Simon seemed to like it, but I have heard conflicting reports. We were thinking of travelling to the Imax in Bradford, one evening this week. It's a bit of a trek, but if it's worth it, it's worth it.

#19. Crikey!

Good morning all,



Had a quick scan through and couldn't see this one anywhere ...



RUNNING IN THE FAMILY - LEVEL 42



G_C

Just thought of another one:



DEM BONES by (amongst others) FATS WALLER



#21 thought that would surprise you!

'Family affair' Sly & the Family Stone

'love child' Diana Ross & The Supremes

Morning All



Suggest today 'Family Affair' Sly and the Family Stone



Hope its a good day for one and all

And because there's never enough Elton John on the radio, IMHO ;-)



Son of Your Father



My Father's Gun



Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock & Roll)



I Never Knew Her Name



# 17 although I think I'll be joining the KatyMac club with these today!

Mother and Child Reunion - Paul Simon



or



Motherless Children - Eric Clapton

Hows about Dry Bones, by either of: Fats Waller, Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians (from the Singing Detective) or, of course, The Wiggles?

Morning All



Some splednid suggestions this morning. Mine have already been taken, so all I can do is second:



RUNNING IN THE FAMILY by Level 42 (you knew I had to!)



and



THE LIVING YEARS by Mike and the Mechanics



#29 are you sure you're not really CDF? ;o)



Deebee X

Just thought of another one:



MOTHERLESS CHILD by Beth Nielson Chapman. A beautiful song - Sir Tel used to play it on his show sometimes.



Deebee X

Last one's for the mo' ...



Going Back To My Roots - Odyssey



Mama - Genesis



G_C

Hadn't refresheed when I posted 26, so second PSL 24

ahem...can I have your attention please?...



*dons the chapeau of inappropriate blogetry*...



ladies and gents, I give you....



SON OF MY FATHER - CHICORY TIP



*backs out, smiling*

'there's a ghost in my house' R. Dean Taylor...many come to light on the programme

'in my life' The Beatles

#33 we can share and hope for a double shout!

#36 I hope, for purely selfish reasons, that In My Life doesn;t get played whilst I'm driving. I love that song and brings back many memories...very poignant for me...

#38 permission to mute if it does!

'where do yo go to my lovely' Peter Sarstedt...a potted life history

Hello Everyone,



Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I saw Marcus Brigstock on the Andrew Marr show yesterday doing a paper review from Latitude - he wasn't as funny as I thought he would have been, he may have been feeling a bit the worse for wear. He's in a really good sketch show, "Sorry I've Got No Head", on the CBBC channel - although it's aimed at kids, there is a certain appeal for parents too.



My suggestion will be rejected out of hand as it isn't an oldie but I'm going for it anyway - COUSINS by VAMPIRE WEEKEND. Quite a jolly little ditty, I'd say.



ANGEL OF THE MORNING by JUDE TZUKE popped into my head this morning, not sure why but I suppose it could fit the brief, rather tenuously admittedly but worth a shot.



Katy / Tortie - you may get a mensh for being just a little bit cheeky with your inappropriate suggestions. ;) It worked for PoS last week with Puff the Magic Dragon, didn't it?



GailyB



Ps - LONELY BOY - ANDREW GOLD

# 7 I'm with Paul - LIVING IN THE PAST by the Magnificent JETHRO TULL - how could I forget such a splednid tune!

Another wee suggestion - as there isn't enough BJG on the radio how's about CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE - BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST



GailyB

#34. Kev, Chicory Tip wont get you the hat. I'm surprised at you, you're really missing a trick, if thehat is your true desire. lets see, can I give you a nudge.



'Daddy Cool' by Darts.



More of a whack in the head, than a nudge, but over to you...

#44 Another one for the hat.



ANNIE, I'M NOT YOUR DADDY - KID CREOLE AND THE COCONUTS

Ooh, one that PSL has missed...



'Papa Was A Rollin Stone' by The Temptations. (Full 12 minutes?)

And if Spikeychops was here today, he might like...



'Dear Dad' by Dave Edmunds

Stretching things a bit...



'Gigolo Aunt' by Sid Barrett



'Cousin Dupree' by Steely Dan (Am I the only one that thinks this song is a bit, well, pervy sounding?)



'Uncle Son' by The Kinks



'Sister Ray' by The Velvet Underground



'He Was My Brother' by Simon And Garfunkel

I've got it:



THERE'S NO-ONE QUITE LIKE GRANDMA by St Winfred's School Choir.



Pass the hat, please!

Sweet Child of Mine - Guns 'n' Roses



Mama Told Me Not To Come - Three Dog Night



Mothers Talk - Tears For Fears



Son Of A Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield



Playboy Mommy - Tori Amos



:-]

50! Yay :)

And of course ...



He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - The Hollies

Afternoon,



RADIOHEAD - Treefingers.



Or, failing that, Father & Son - CAT STEVENS



Eclectic? Moi?



Nic

#53Well, it rhymes with pedantic. :0)



Wotcha done with Deevs?

#52 Good one, G_C.



I have a Top Tenuous involving Robert Winston. Wrong show I know, but I'll share it anyway.



Last year I went to the Cheltenham Science Festival, to see Richard Hammond who was doing a show based around his kids' TV show "Blast Lab". After the show he had a booksigning, and I queued up with some friends to get a copy of his book signed for my nephew. The queue led through a narrow entrance, similar to a shop doorway. Just as we got to the entrance Lord Winston was coming out, and he trod on my friend's foot!

Woo hoo for the 50 G_C.



#55 - really Deebs? signed for your nephew? ;)



Gaily

#54 - Is Deevs next door?

#49 Deebee - too late for the hat - see #17 & #18 - try again







:^)

#50 Well done glenn_ !





¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø¸„¤º°¨¨°º¤ø¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø¸

#56 Yes really, GailyB - I gave it to him for his 9th birthday in November! Luckily for me he does actually watch Blast Lab...;o)

#44 Paul, I did think of



DADDY COOL - BONEY M



but decided I couldn't possibly wear the sombrero of shame....

#60 Just a gentle pull of the leg there Deebs. :)



#61 Ooooh I don't know Kev, I think you'd look rather fetching in a sombrero.



Gaily

Anyone know of the whereabouts of the marvellous Malcolm Powder?



Have the Floorboards been fixed - I haven't heard them creak for a while.



Gaily

Hi Gaily



Hasn't Malcolm gone to the US on his holiday?



Perhaps The Floorboards haven't been creaking because there's been too much activity on here!



Tortie

Hi Tortie, yeah, he will have - I didn't realise he'd gone so soon. Hope he's having a lovely time.



Right enough there hasn't been much opportunity to sneak in un-noticed - even over the weekend, MTF had a nice wee chat to herself with Deebs and PoS adding their tuppence worth.



Gaily

#20 Sorry Paul - just spotted your post. Er - we double-booked today - 'Inception' will have to wait until Tuesday evening.

Gailypoppet - Malcolm flew out last Weds. Am sure he'll 'appear' on FB and here when he gets connected.



I drooped into the Blog over the w/e.

Hi Katy - Aw thank you for the update - I didn't realise he was flying so soon, I thought it was towards the end of this month. I'm sure he will - he said he may do a travel blog to keep us up to date with his doings.



I'm so sorry Katy - I knew I'd forgotten someone - it wasn't intentional, I just didn't have time to look back to see who had been around. Hope you had a good weekend. You chose the best weekend to visit the Shire of Lincoln; we had a few showers on Saturday and it was quite blowy most of the time.



GailyBevs :o)

# 59 Thanks for the wave Katy, waters looking lovely today.



Well, starting to run a little dry now, but managed to squeeze these last few out (ooo err!)



My Brother Jake - Free



My Perfect Cousin - The Undertones



Rag Mama Rag - The Band



Rolling Back The Years - Simply Red



Ta Ra

DeeBee - Simon's Telegraph (other papers, etc.) is now online.



Tortie

#70 Feel free to insert "column" in that comment, it's a bit nonsensical otherwise!

'Cows Go Moo(Featuring Jesus, Elvis, Your Mom, Your Grandma,Your Great Uncle's Ex-Boyfriends Pet Weasel,Dick Cheney,Napoleon Bonaparte, And The God Of The Tiki Tribe In The North Pole) by The Ultra Cheesey Flubbed Up Nuclear Cheeseballs. (From the album Music Of The Gods{The Complete Dance Trilogy}, if you're interested. I suspect you're not.)

# 72 Fairly safe to say you've covered all bases there PoS!

#70 Thanks Tortie. Will put the usual link on the Blogpoppets' FB page when I get home. Unless you've already done it...?

#74 No Deebee, I haven't put the link on FB.

#75 No probs.

Well done Glen and also Mark

Anyone around?



Well done to G_C! How lovely to hear a bit of Level 42 on the radio!

#77 Ooh - I missed Mark's mensh - well done to you too!



DBB59 - I've sent you a FB friend request.

And a well done Kev - a good day for the blog!

#74 Link now up in the usual place. I haven't read it yet - going to do that after the show.

#79 Thanks Deebee, just responded

#82 Thanks!

#78 Something instrumental I trust? ;-)

#84 I was waiting for your comment, Ken. I'm not going to rise to it though....;o)

Well resisted :-)

I normally listen to Simon on digital radio, unless I'm in the car. Tonight, I had to be in the car at about 5.30, and couldn't get ANY BBC stations on F.M., although other stations were unaffected. Did anyone else experience any problems? Digital seemed unaffected.

And to quote a certain Kernow, what did I miss?

#87 Paul, they mentioned on Simon's show that nobody in Yorkshire was getting a signal - there was a main out, whatever that means.



#88 #77 - #80 should cover it.

Was that another ELO opener I 'eard there?



MTF.xx

I know this isn't an ironing blog, in fact I am strictly a non ironer myself, but has anyone seen the pic today of Simon with the Doc?



MTF.xx

Sorry, Lord Winston.



MTF.xx

He played one of my selections (Sister Sledge), but without any mensh.



Ah well, C'est la Vie :)



I'm quite pleased just to get one played on only my second attempt posting to the blog.

Morning All



#91 Haha - see what you mean MTF. Maybe he didn't have time to go home and change when he got back from the festival.



#93 Well done Alex. It still counts, even if you didn't get a mensh!

Morning all!



Reading back, seems I got a mensh yesterday, as did a few others. Well done all! I missed the prog as I was busy (err...on the beach!).



So, no-one has seen Inceptino (sic) then?
