Morning All,



THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST - Cat Stevens

morning all from a very chilly but sunny Shire :-)

Good Morning Simon & Everyone -



Suggest -



FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST - Rod Stewart



I’M IN PIECES BITS & PIECES - Dave Clark 5

(or after cuts Dave Clark 4)



CUTS LIKE A KNIFE - Bryan Adams



(I JUST) DIED IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT - Cutting Crew



SACRIFICE - Elton John



Love



BP

CUT MY HAIR - The Who

Morning all,



THE CUTTER by ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN?



Mcw x

#3 Billy - I think one version will probably get played, but which one? Rod or Cat?

I was going to suggest the JARROW SONG by ALAN PRICE, but I thought that was probably a tad gloomy and a trifle pessimistic on this gloriously sunny but cold morning. ;-)

'the first cut is the deepest' PP Arnold

#6 the original?

#6 Alex - they're both stompin!

Good Morning Each!

#9 All three! He should do a medley!

#11 That's excellent, Paul. Made me smile!

Morning All,



'Don't Fear The Reaper' Beautiful South



Have a good day everybody

'ghost town' The Specials

Suffer The Children by Tears For Fears (Child benefit cuts)

'moneys too tight to mention' Simply Red

No Milk Today by Hermans Hermits?

Morning all!



How about



PEOPLE HOLD ON by COLDCUT ft. LISA STANSFIELD?



Cheers,



Kev

EVERYDAY HURTS by SAD CAFE (another fav of mine)

Alternatively



'Don't Fear the Reaper' Blue Oyster Cult

'King of Pain' Police

Morning Simon, team and Blogpoppets



Happy Birthday to Level 42's Mark King! And thanks, KatyMac for the link on the previous blog. Simon, is there any way you could fit one of their songs into today's show? It would make this blogger very happy :o) Maybe 'It's Over' loosly fit's today's theme.



Some great suggestions above - I'll second Mcw's at #18.



Back later....



Deebee X

'can't give you anything but my love' The Stylistics...."my pockets are empty"

Or;



EVERYBODY HURTS by REM?



Cheers,



Kev

'Chop, Chop, Chop' by Alice Cooper



'Cut Here' by The Cure



'Cut A Long Story Short' by Spandau ballet



'The Final Cut' by Pink Floyd

This could get very political, Simon. One Govt has been GIVING IT ALL AWAY (apologoes to Roger Daltry) and this one wants to TAKE IT BACK (apologoes to Pink Floyd)

Morming all blog poppets, beautiful day in West Yorkshire, I'll start with "Mack the Knife" sung by Frank Sinatra or Bobby Darrin.



Now onto my usual search for U2 songs of which I have found 3 today! Try "Bullet the Blue Sky" or "Where Did It All Go Wrong" or how about "Fast Cars - Jacknife Lee Mix"



GB

'No Money Down' Chuck Berry

How about HOLE IN MY SHOE by Traffic? We're not going to be able to afford new ones...

From yesterday -

#163 BB #168 Deebee



There's a letter in next week's Radio Times contrasting interviewing techniques and praising that of Mr. Mayo.



Love



BP

'The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had To Swallow)' The Jam

State Of The Nation by New Order

#31 It wasn't me!



#30 Phew - now I've thought of a song I can relax and get on with some work. It's been bugging me that I couldn't come up with anything. I've clearly lost the 'knack' - must go and look for it...

'Ain't Too Pround To Beg' The Temptations

Morning all!



Can't resist throwing in a 4th version:



FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST - SHERYL CROWE

'back stabbers' The O'Jays

STILETTO - Billy Joel

#35 he played that for me on welfare reform theme day :-)

Morning all would have to also go with 'The First Cut is The Deepest' but would have to go with Cat Stevens version.

Morning all



Having given up on flip-flops last week, I too have abandoned shorts for work ... roll on April when they come out again



Cuts Like a Knife by Bryan Adams please



And hello to the Chris Evans production team who seem to play a lot of our suggestions too (they've just played my 2nd ARF request) xx

'Less Is More' by Joss Stone

I've noticed that too Alison...

'Stretch Dude And Clobber Girl' by The Simpsons

Morning all, again



#41 I mentioned that earlier in the year Alison!



Must say thanks again to Simon for mentioning all of us Blogpoppets, it's really nice that he notices us, even Mr T's getting interested in the blog now that we've been mentioned twice by Simon!



Tortie x

#45 too many 'mentions' in one posting!



*must use thesaurus next time*

CROSSCUT SAW - Eric Clapton

#43 & #45 It's wonderful that we're contributing towards two shows for the price of one :-)



Maybe we'll get a morning mention too x

Morning all



"Cuts Like a Knife" - Bryan Adams, fits the bill I guess.



For file 13, "Burn" by Deep Purple



Steve Winwood last night. Veered between quite good and blindingly brilliant.



For me he spent too long behind his Hammond and some of the funkier songs become excuses for extended sharing round of solos (note: drum solos will be banned following the revolution).



When he strapped on what I believe to be a custom-shop nylon-stringed, Thinline Telecaster...well the tone from that was just gorgeous, and straight into Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Back Home"......awesomely good. The man can play guitar brilliantly, wish he would do it more often. And he still has a great voice.



Only two other songs featured him on guitar. Fortunately one was Traffic's "Dear Mr Fantasy" in the encore, which was the song that persuaded me to buy a ticket and go and see him. Again, great voice and great guitar.



In the ridiculous queue to pay to get out of the car-park a woman was bemoaning the fact that he didn't play "Valerie" and that she didn't want to hear the early stuff. Prefer Valerie rather than "Can't Find My Way Back Home" or "Dear Mr Fantasy"? Strange Kinda Woman.



It was a bit odd not to see a bass player, but Winwood managed plenty of bottom end via Hammond and, presumably, pedals, and the sax player doubled up on the Hammond while Winwood was on guitar.



Interesting night and glad I went.

Shucks! Pipped by a LIST!

#52. Are we to assume that you have a spare HOIB in your own size?

And I do believe that Mean is a track on Taylor Swift's new album ... maybe she could play that?

WOOHOO!!! HAT FOR PAUL OF SHEFFIELD FOR THE 50TH POST IN THIS BLOG

I think I'll suggest:



Mack the Knife - the Bobby Darin version.



Here's hoping for a not-too-woeful Wednesday.

RAZOR'S EDGE - Meatloaf

Oooooh - I fancy a bit of



MANIC STREET PREACHERS -



EVERYTHING MUST GO

IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT

SLASH & BURN

YOU STOLE THE SUN FROM MY HEART

THE MASSES AGAINST THE CLASSES

"Sell, Sell, Sell" by David Gray

#60 You can add to those...



'The Second Great Depression'



'NatWest - Barclays - Midlands - Lloyds'

'beg steal or borrow' The New Seekers

#61, 62

As someone said earlier - this could get very political!

Poy sun allee - I'd love to hear

AIG - SHOW OF HANDS

but that may be pushing the boundaries.



♪♫

Sadly I can't think of anything other than:



Cuts both ways - Gloria Estefan and The Miami Sound Machine



My Dad will be proud of me though :(

'don't leave me this way' Thelma Houston

Forgot to say, will be listening on my way to Wolverhampton to see Al Murray, the Pub Landlord.



ALL HAIL TO THE ALE!

CARNIVAL OF SORTS - R.E.M.

DIMINISHED - R.E.M.

YOU'VE GOT A LOT TO ANSWER FOR - CUTATONIA

Morning all



MATERIAL GIRL - MADONNA



Pen xx

Chop Chop by Tony Blackburn?

Haven't heard Cuts Like A Knife by Bryan Adams in a while.

First Cut Is The Deepest by PP Arnold (prefer it to Cat and Rod)

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones.



Simon didn't ask Sir Cliff yesterday if being a knight of the realm meant that he could take part in jousting tournaments - Sir Cliff Richard versus Sir Tom Jones, Sir Michael Caine versus Sir Ben Kingsley - things like that.

Afternoon all.



Yay! to Simon for playing The Human League after the 6 o'clock news on yesterday's show. Made my evening!



BP - I Tweet as Deevski / Cheryl The Diva.



Had a good night last night. We did a really cool exercise at Creative Writing and I was right chuffed with what I came up with - a piece on My Favourite Place, which gave me free reign to wax lyrical about London's South Bank. Then joined Nic and the chaps at the quiz and we won - despite the dodgiest music round in pub quiz history!!



As for today's feem I've tweeted Spandau Ballet's To Cut A Long Story Short (before I read the blog - sorry PoS) but would also like to add to the melee ......



Wire To Wire - RAZORlight.





Alone in office all afternoon, so WILL be back!



Deevs

Hello All,



Can find no inspiration today. Currently listening to Guns 'n' Roses who are no help whatsoever!



Quite liking #60 suggestions. Can't beat a bit of Manic, eh KatyMac. And what's wrong with Haircut 100???

Snow girl, snowey owey owey girl. won't you take me down ....



Did someone mention Haircut 100 !?!?



;-)

my three word wednesday "merry christmas bloggers"



gazza x

The Knife - Genesis

#50 For anyone not on Twitter, I think Simon's got the message re 'First cut is the deepest'. It will be interesting to see which version he plays though...

#78 My 3 word Wednesday:



It's Only October

Joining in then



My 3 word Wednesday



BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN SUNSHINE

Three word wednesday:-

oooh oooh - has anyone suggested the excellent



KNIVES OUT - RADIOHEAD yet?

#74 Hi Spartan3



Thanks for your ringing endorsement of my Manic choices - woohoo



And there's nowt wrong with Haircut 100 unless you're Paul of Sheffield.

;^)





Nick Heyward FTW!

♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥

Katy,



No but an excellent suggestion that is though! I could tell you a story about me and that song but I fear it would get banned!



My suggestion - Linkin Park - Paper Cut.



I thank you.



Nic

Or even JAMES - Out To Get You.



Nic

#78 #81 I second that, Alex! The 'C' word is banned in my house until at least the 1st November.

Last one...



'Gone, Gone, Gone' by The Everly Brothers, which seems apt, because I am.

#91 bye Paul.

#88 ooh Nicnic - I be all intriguified now. :^)

Can you or Cheryl tell me on 't'other side'?

Katy



It was "before my time" so am absolving myself of any storytelling!!



x

#90 Quite right too Deebee! I like to do these events in proper order - Hallowe'en, then Bonfire Night and then, and only then, does the work begin in readiness for the C word. Mind you, come 6th November, I turn into a big kid and start getting over-excited!! I do have to hold myself in check abit as Mr P's birthday is mid-December and I try not to let the two occasions merge!

Three word wednesday;



Tropical behind glass



Pen xx

Some you may remember our 'conversations' about dishwasher emptying last week.

I have just spent over half-an-hour washing and drying all our cups, plates, cutlery, etc. as our dishwasher has decided not to wash them, but just deposit a heavy coating of salt - despite putting them on the rinse cycle and a hot wash! If I hadn't washed them, we would have had nothing to use for the rest of the day or tomorrow - but did any of my male colleages offer to help? One came into the kitchen and 'huffed' because he couldn't get to the sink to fill the kettle, and asked me to let him know when I'd finished! I'm only the PA to the finance director (his boss), but I know my place!



Rant over



*and breathe*

My 3 word Wednesday so far:



Sunny, cold, clear.



Could change once I have digested todays political announcements!

100 not out?

Afternoon all



Back from very nice hols in Portugal, so feeling the cold somewhat today!



Not sure how much I'll be around as v busy on catch up at work.



Is it too political to suggest something from Selling Egland By the Pound? If not More fool me by Genesis please!
