Morning Lord Ammo, team, NYM and normal bloggers



First one that springs to mind, in a middle-aged rather-be-in-a-heated-ventilated-room-and-go-back-to-my-nice-warm-bed kind of way:



WHY DOES IT ALWAYS RAIN ON ME - Travis

Hi Simon and everyone...



Enjoyed your breakfast show yesterday Simon... until you were rudely interrupted by a shouty man!!!!



GLASTONBURY SONG ~} The Waterboys



MUD, MUD, GLORIOUS MUD ~ Flanders and Swann



xx

Good Morning Again -



WOODSTOCK (of course) - Matthews Southern Comfort

Eggs benedict AND pie AND kebabs?



Better be careful, of you'll start looking like that bloke who was standing next to David Cameron on the R2 home page yesterday.....

Good Morning Simon, team and Blogpoppets



It has to be:



WOODSTOCK by Crosby, Stills and Nash



Or



LET'S GO TO SAN FRANCISCO by the Flowerpot Men



IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO by Scott McKenzie



OUT IN THE FIELDS by Gary Moore



LISTEN TO THE MUSIC by The Doobie Brothers



Deebee ~X~

COME TOGETHER - Beatles





John? Opportunity Arisen?

#3 #5 Matthew's Southern Comfort's version would do just as well *is confused*



~X~

Morning All,



BACK TO THE GARDEN - Joni Mitchell

A couple more tunes.....



A HARD RAIN'S GONNA FALL ~ Roxy Music



SUMMER RAIN ~ Belinda Carlisle



FIRE AND RAIN ~ James Taylor



THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKING ~ Nancy Sinatra



x

The problem with festivals, and speaking like any parent of teenagers wanting to go, is that you're surrounded by lots of lovely people and some dodgy characters, and not always possible to tell the two apart.



People who just travel around from one festival for a living looking for any opportunity, people who are just looking for a place to spend the night as they have nowhere else to go, or people who are out to fleece you and nick all the stuff from your tent.



In summary:



GYPSIES, TRAMPS AND THIEVES - Cher

2 Different Songs -



LET'S DANCE - Either Bowie or Chris Mantez



SLIP SLIDING AWAY - Paul Simon



SIT DOWN - James

Anyone listening to R2 now? Who's this woman singing Coldplay???

Morning all,

Hoefully at least the weather will behave itself for the festival, my friends who go have a camper van, all mod cons (G&T under the awning) and plenty of she-wees if they actually indulge in the music side of event...

For them, I know they'd like



RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD by the Manic street preachers!

or THE RAIN SONG by the mighty ZEP



On the subject of music, I'd like to #2nd Deebees Doobies choice of 'Listen to the music'

or you could, if time allowed play John Miles's 'MUSIC'



It's been a stressful few days personally - an intensive interview (results to be known today) and my mother-in-law falling and cracking her pelvis (oww) so it's nice to be back on the blog and feel like some 'NORMALCY' has returned to my life, too.

It must have been lovely for the Mayo family collective to have Lord Ammo @ home, between 5-7pm, instead of being there simply as a voice on the radio!

Have a nice day y'all

#10 John Absolutely love it!



Can I suggest it too and then we could CHER !

GLASTONBURY - U2

#14 Ha!

Good morning everyone.



I loved the show yesterday. In fact, I enjoyed the whole thing with the exception of just one hour. Why can't we have more Show of Hands, Ryan Bingham, Bellowhead and the likes? Does it have be singles all day long?



Anyway, the theme ...................... not Glasonbury but a festival nonetheless:



MONTEREY by ERIC BURDEN & THE ANIMALS

ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT - Kinks





For the people at the very back -



SO FAR AWAY - Carole King



YOU WON'T SEE ME - Beatles

CARNIVAL - The Cardigans or Tori Amos



IT'S CARNIVAL TIME - Elvis Presley



THE CARNIVAL IS OVER - The Seekers



THE LITTLE FETE - Vangelis



COUNTRY FAIR - Van Morrison



TAKE ME TO TEH MARDI GRAS - Paul Simon

Morning all.



Flowers in the rain - The Move.



MTF.xx

CRUSH - Jennifer Paige



GO WILD IN THE COUNTRY - Bow Wow Wow



DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT - Toploader

OUT IN THE FIELDS - Gary Moore



I'VE HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE (Theme from "DIRTY DANCING"!) - Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes

On the subject of normality (or even normalcy), I think it's worth quoting Billy Connolly:



"‘You pass this way but once. There’s no such thing as normal. There’s you and there’s the rest. There’s now and there’s forever. Do as you damn well please or you could end up being a pot-bellied, hairless boring f**t."



Be back later

I too loved the Mayo/Cullum show in the morning.



I wasn't nearly so happy with the show on the way home - the comedy one. In fact I got so fed up of it that I turned it off and put on a CD instead fro the last half an hour.

Ooh ooh ooh.....



Rain is falling - ELO.



MTF.xx

SING ALONG - Shanks & Bigfoot



SING - Travis

I CAN'T STAND THE RAIN ERUPTION

WALKING IN THE RAIN THE RONETTES

IT'S RAINING MEN THE WEATHER GIRLS

WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS....PETSHOP BOYS

Hello Simon, Driveteam, Constructors, Blog Chumsters and welcome back Mensh Chasers ;^)



#7 Deebeedeebeedeebs - Joni Mitchell wrote WOODSTOCK' - I really love the CSN&Y version with Steve Stills doing main vocal from one of the best albums [IMO] of the 70s - Déjà Vu. I still have my copy. *proud face*





:^)

LOST IN MUSIC SISTER SLEDGE

STONED LOVE THE SUPREMES

When the festival first started many moons ago, festival goers were all given a pint of milk.



Numbers have increased somewhat over the years so.....



NO MILK TODAY - Hermans Hermits.



MTF.xx

MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME - Three Dog Night/Tom Jones



(PJ Proby does a superb version!)



I GOT STONED AND I MISSED IT - Dr. Hook

a Festival song?



This pretty well sums it up for me. A song that spawned a Festival.



WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY - THE LEVELLERS





:^)

THE DRUGS DON'T WORK THE VERVE

Morning all! Obvious but classy U2 "Glastonbury" or for something a little off the wall how about The Alarm "Eye of the Hurricane".



Must run busy day.



GB

2 More Beatles -



ALL TOGETHER NOW



ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

#35 Thank you KatyMatey - that's cleared that up then... In that case, I'll stick with my original suggestion of



WOODSTOCK by Crosby Stills and Nash



Earlier CLP interviewed Rory McIlroy, and then played 'Baby Driver' (which Simon played on monday, and Phil and I got menshes). That PROVES he reads this blog...



Hello Chris! *waves*



~X~

#40

The Leveller's Beautiful Days Festival usually follows - just that little bit too closely unfortunately - Fairport's Cropredy Festival, from whence I now choose this choon, Fairport's 2nd single:





MEET ON THE LEDGE - FAIRPORT CONVENTION

Remember you're a womble - The Wombles.



MTF.xx



A waterproof hat would be nice, its very soggy yer in Zummerzet.

Good morning (again)



#13 Suzie, take good care of yourself my lovely.x



As for choons, howsabout one I have to endure most mornings:



REMEMBER YOU'RE A WOMBLE by Mike Batt/The Wombles (Big Girl's school topic is "Underground, Overground, Wombling Free" so we have to practice the songs)



Or what every festival goer hopes for:



MR BLUE SKY by ELO



or in honour of the wellies festival goers usually needs:



THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR WALKING by Nancy Sinatra



or just for sheer belt it out to the crowd value:



LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU by Robbie Williams



#44 Deebee, also noticed CLP played She Drives Me Crazy by the Fine Young Cannibals the day after it was suggested on this 'ere blog.

Good Morning All :)



I didn't actually manage to catch much of 2Day yesterday, but it was nice to hear a few of those DJs usually condemned to the late shifts, being given a rare daylight outing.



I agree with Harry, I think the regular schedule could do with a shake-up, nothing too drastic, but one or two shows *cough* 2-5pm, could do with freshening up.



Oldie suggestions...



SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT - NIRVANA



TENDER - BLUR (was on a list of greatest Glastonbury moments & a great sing along song)



ALL NIGHT LONG - LIONEL RICHIE



LET THE MUSIC PLAY - BARRY WHITE

#44



.... and how very dare they steal my Blog Name!



For current blogpoppets who may not know - I joined this blog as BabyDriver - had to abandon it because an individual from my past 'found' me on here and when a bit stalkery ..

*shudders*

SEX AND DRUGS AND ROCK & 'ROLL - Ian Dury and the Blockheads

#50 JBG, what every good festival should have ;-)

Just had a message from B&B ............... Hafdis Huld is on Jeremy Vine. As my feelings about the JV show are well known (and, bytheway, I have nothing against JV personally - just the show he does), it's going to be tense! :-)

A couple more oldie suggestions before I hit my 'to do' list...



EVERYBODY DANCE - CHIC



IT'S RAINING AGAIN - SUPERTRAMP

#13 Suzie - it's always good to snuggle back in here when life gets stressful.

I, too have several, Glamping Chums who 'do' festivals without lowering their culinary, comfort and hygiene standards.





#48 Hi Zoe - I have a hunch that the afternoon show incumbent will only vacate that slot when *he* thinks it's a good idea. And why not? He's a big cheese on planet R2, gets involved with the creative planning and ideas for many of the other shows, has a record of successful broadcasting second to none and is hugely respected by his peers.







:^)

Morning All,



'The In Crowd' Bryan Ferry

'All Together Now' The Farm



Have a good day everybody

#54 Katy, have you got your contrary hat on again today? If so, I'm ducking for cover now! ;-)

Those of you with nothing better to do, have a quick look at the Burnham on Sea webcam, if you want a rough idea of what its like in the Glastonbury direction at the moment.



I navigated around the Tor yesterday and the sun was out and everywhere looked freshly washed. Its a bit of a different story this morning.



The traffic was much lighter than anticipated though, so didn't add too much time onto my round.



MTF.xx

I turn off once CE has done untill SM comes on....sometimes listen to KB if in the car. JV is the Jeremy Kyle of radio and I'm not keen on the team SW has around him 'breast is best' jainie and 'too keen' Tim and the joke chacacters are just not funny....all imho :-D

MUD SLIDE SLIM - James Taylor



STUCK IN THE MUD - Gilbert O'Sullivan



MONSTERS OF MUD - They Might Be Giants

#58 PSL, I guess my listening pattern is much the same as yours but sometimes I don't make it all the way through CE.



I wonder what the Radio2 policy is on songs that it will play during the day? Is it just, or primarily, singles? It seems to me that Radio2 is becoming Radio1-lite. It's only a personal preference, and I am fully aware that I might be in a minoirty of one, but I'd prefer it to be 6Music-lite.

Good Morning Everyone and, of course, Simon the Normal Drivetime Dude, The Team and The NYM,



I'd like to suggest:-



SAN FRANCISCO - SCOTT MCKENZIE, 'cos I just love that choon. Probs a bit tenuous as it doesn't really mention Glastonbury in the lyric but please NYM, it's a lovely choon :)



I'm home with a poorly younger boy today. I think the excitement of Sports Day on Tuesday and Intake Day yesterday has taken it's toll, although it's more likely to be some bug he's picked up.



Off to catch up before I tackle another load of washing :s



~ xx



Ps - I nearly remembered to sign in this morning before I tried to post, but I only tried the once this time, saw the 'There's a problem posting...' message and immediately realised what a dumpling I'd been, Again! :s



~ xx

My favourite bit from R2Day, was Trevor Nelson and Tony Blackburn with the hour of soul. I suddenly realised that I could be converted to soul. Loved the Stevie Wonder track. I also enjoyed the comedy hour, it had me chuckling whilst getting tea prepared. I did miss the usual Drivetime crew tho' and will be thrilled to little mint balls when I tune in at 5.05 and hear the sweet tones of SM and his wonderful team.



Rightio, off to catch up.



Logged in? Check



~ xx

Morning troops.



How's about .....





SOUND OF THE CROWD - HUMAN LEAGUE



RAIN - THE CULT



For starters!



Deevs

x

Sorry late to the party again



WOODSTOCK - Matthews Southern Comfort or Joni Mitchell

SORTED FOR E'S AND WIZZ - Plup

SHE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR - John Martyn / Van Morrision and The Chieftains

THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY - The Kinks or Kate Rusby

HOLD BACK THE RAIN - DURAN DURAN



(although it's an album track, so highly unlikely ....)



x

Coffee time, and time to catch up properly.



#13 Suzie - sounds like you've had a bit of a time of it. Hope the m-i-l is okay, and fingets crossed for the interview results. Chin up m'dear!



#49 absolutely KatyMatey - and I hope you'll soon be reinstated as BabyDriver, once you have the all-clear from the docs.



#54 He also has his own studio, which MTF, MCW and I visited last year when we went to CiN (he was on hols, so it was vacant). All the other presenters have to share between two other studios.



#61 Toots, on your login page you can check 'remember me on this computer'. Then you don't have to log in each time. Of course, that might be problematical if you use a shared computer at work. Hope the younger GB is better soon.



No Alex-G today? I know she was feeling poorly yesterday - hope she's okay.



~X~

Good Morning Each!

MEMORIES OF A FREE FESTIVAL by DAVID BOWIE

Morning All,



No suggestions from me today. Contrary to yesterday's posting I am using up my allotted time on Spotify with the lovely Jamie Cullum. The album is The Pursuit and it is excellent. Loving all the tracks but have to mention the 3rd, Wheels, soooo energetic and the last track, Music is Through, just beautiful.



Maybes laters



A.

Morning all



Still too much work getting in the way so not really here! ;)



I didn't hear much of 2Day except Noisy & JC - who were excellent. Have to agree with the general consensus re the afternoon show, sooner it's retired and Alex L of Richard A put there the better.



Have a spotty chicken poxed boy at home, but other than some spots is still the happy go lucky monster he usually is.



Cheers



A

Firstly, can I just say, diplomacy has never been my strong point. Of course, the 7-8am show yesterday was the best show but I enjoyed Trevor Nelson's and Tony Blackburn's contribution every bit as much.



Suzie - hope you get news and I hope your mother-in-law's soon on the mend. A lady at work fell in the snow last winter and broke her pelvis but didn't go to the doc's for about a week. It took a while to mend but she seems fine now.



I thought Tim Smith looked a lot older than 50 in that photo - I'm guessing it wasn't a very good photo.



Alex~G - hope you're feeling better m' Lovely.



The meeting went well last night, thank you Julia. However, my friend and I just had one question - what do all these parents have to say to their child's tutor (who they only just met yesterday for the first time)??? What could they possibly have to say? Answers in the box below, please - we're intrigued. We felt like bad parents as we couldn't think of a single thing to say. We hung around 'til we thought we were in the clear and could leave without looking uncaring ;)



~ xx

#70 - aw, AT, {{{hugs}}} for the spotty boy - hope he's soon well again.



~ xx

For many festival goers it will be a weekend of :-



SEX 'N' DRUGS 'N' ROCK 'N' ROLL - IAN DURY AND THE BLOCKHEADS

#64 & #67 'Sorted for E's and Wizz' by PULP yes, gotta be up there, good choice!



#70 my son had the 'pox on his 2nd birthday (t'was summertime) and he was able to run around naked to show off all his spots - and boy they were EVERYWHERE!! He was sadly the ugliest child on the planet as they were all over his face - but we still had to take pics, as it was his birthday!



Thanks for the good wishes re interview (Tues was only round one..if through there is round two next week..) and Mother-in-law is FINALLY at the age of 79 getting her money's worth out of the NHS. Aren't ambulance crews FABULOUS?!



My last choice for today's theme, a bit left-field but Sir Bob might approve:



'DIM LIGHTS, THICK SMOKE AND LOUD, LOUD MUSIC' by Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers



Off now to source some lunch as I am 'Hank Marvin'

*picture a skeleton hunched over a keyboard*

afternoon all



tiger feet-mud

woodstock-mathews southen comfort

its raining again-rodger hodgson/supertramp

the wombling song-the wombles

remember your a womble-wombles

combine harvester-worzels

i am a cider drinker-the worzels

talking about festivals how about



harvest for the world-isley brothers

parklife-blur

fields of gold-eva cassidy

a song for after the festival , next monday morning



Take The Long Way Home - Supertramp

I know its old but 'Singing in the Rain' is still a good tune and very apt

#13 Sorry to hear of your woes Suzie ((hugs)) Hope your MIL is o.k & hope your interview results are good :)



#54 With all the changes that the BBC have to go through in the coming years, I wouldn't think that anyone employed by them has a job for life. I can see that SW has garnered a lot of respect from his peers etc, and he certainly has a good track record to stand on. I was a massive fan of his during the 80s and early 90s, and back then he was at the top of his game. I was even a devoted listener to his show when he moved to Radio 2, it was a change from Ed Stewart (who I also liked but who has become a bit old fashioned for that slot) and I was a regular listener for years. I just think now that the format for 'The Big Show' as become stale, but if listener figures are still good, then who am I to argue? I've got Radcliffe and Maconie to turn to if I want alternative radio listening at that time now, and I do!



Hope Alex G is alright :S Get well soon!



#71 Toots, I suppose questions for the tutor could just be general things you might be concerned about with your child's progression from junior to secondary school :/ Your young man sounds like he's as sharp as a tack, but some parents might have concerns about how their child might cope in a new environment etc

Alex-G is fine - I've been in touch with her by phone. Just a bit tired, and busy finishing off her current contract.



Some days (actually, most days) I quite like my job. Today isn't one of them :(



~X~

#48 Zoe... Great idea to have a bit of a shake-up.... and I agree with you (as do many others) about the 2-5pm slot... could do with a change of presenter as he's still in the 80s! By the way, why does Steve Wright call his show, 'The Big Show'?

#82 Is it because it seems to go for ever and ever and ever ....



or possibly to match the presenter's ego?

#79 - Hey Vildeen - warmest welcomes - don't go, hang around and join in the fun and frolics if you can :)



#80 - ZueUU, you know, I hadn't even given that a thought. Thank you for making me realise how grateful I am that I didn't have anything to say to the tutors. Having the older boy at secondary school already made me a bit blase about the whole experience, I guess :s



~ xx

#81. Deebs, you OK? You sound a bit low, and that isn't like you at all.

#81 - Deebee, Glad to hear A~G is well. I'm sorry to hear that about your job - I hope your day improves.



Poor old SW :s Mind you I wouldn't be averse to spending the afternoon with the lovely Richard Allinson :) My sis and I had a mensh when he was standing in for SW one time. She was tidying cupboards at the top of her stairs and I was on the school run. She was tickled pink, bless her. :)



~ xx

#80 Zoe, as for SW's listener figures holding up, I wonder how much that is due to lack of choice? Here in Cumbria, there really isn't the option to go somewhere else for your radio. I suppose it is different in London and maybe a few of the other larger conurbations, but for me, it's either Radio2 on or the radio off. I wonder how many people just leave it on and so tacitly add their support?

#81 Sorry you're having a tough day Deebee ((hugs)) Glad to hear Alex G is o.k, if a bit tired :)



#82 I thought it was called 'The Big Show' because of the length of it i.e 3 hours, his used to be the 'biggest' show on Radio 2, but he now shares that 'title' with Chris Evans.



#83 Sound theories ;) Sorry to hear your little one has chicken pox, I had that over Christmas when I was 8, not fun with the itching.



#84 No problem Toots :) Glad to be of assistance, and it's good that your young man is all set for the transition to secondary school.

#87 I suppose the 'lack of an alternative' could be a factor in SW's listening figures, also it's probably on in some work places, where not everyone present would choose to listen to it. But I would think that this only accounts for a small(ish) percentage of the overall figures. Most people must be tuning in through personal preference...



I actually have no idea how many listeners SW gets, as I only took note of Chris Evan's listener numbers and those for Drivetime from the last Rajar survey.

#85 #86 #88 Thanks guys. Occupational hazard, unfortunately - working in HR I occasionally have to do something unpopular, and on this occasion I feel really sorry for the person concerned.



However, this has cheered me up a bit https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00hqk5w



~X~

#90 Oh dear :( Did you have to 'let someone go'?



I saw that interview yesterday (Rebecca tweeted it) it is lovely, isn't Lord Ammo just so modest and gracious? :)

Hello all!



Thanks for all the good wishes. I got into the office at lunchtime and am now head down in a pile of process maps. I really can't wait until next Thursday when this contract ends - the Programme Manager they have taken on is truly awful. A real bully and it is getting me down. BUT, I have a day off tomorrow to view 2 houses and then it is only 4 more working days here. Some new contracts in the pipeline - really interesting pieces of work so I just need to ride through the next few days.



Deebee, sorry your day isn't going so well. Your text really cheered me up this morning - thank you!



Suzie, sorry to hear of your troubles. Fingers crossed that the interview was successful.



Toots, if you had nothing to say to the tutor, then that is a good thing. You have confidence in your boy!

#91 Thanks Zoe - no, it was a bit more complicated than that. Obviously I can't discuss details. I saw Rebecca's tweet yesterday, but I've only just had a chance to have a look at the clip.



#92 Alex, you are very welcome! Hope the house viewing goes well tomorrow. You will 'know' when you find the right one. I repeat what I said to Suzie earlier - chin up!



~X~

#93 The HR world can be tough at times. Back at you - chin up!!!



On the SW theme, I don't often hear the SW very often but when I do, I find it rather predictable and formulaic. I did hear some of the comedy hour yesterday and was perplexed to hear Barry from Watford and Ask Elvis. Ghastly.



LOVED the concert at 6pm. Loads of energy, great music. Just been looking at the photos. We know a couple of the guys in Jools' band and it was nice to see them in the pics, looking like they were having a really good time. Looking forward to hearing all about it!

From a quick scan down the list, (I may have missed it) I can't believe that nobody has suggested TIGER FEET by MUDD!



Perhaps it was too obvious!



DD out

One thing I liked about the Rebecca Pike interview with Simon and Jamie, (aside from ther interview itself) is the fact that the volume control goes all the way up to 11, ala Spinal Tap. One thing I didn't like was that there was no Rebacca on Camera. Evans didn't call her Foxy without reason. DDG!

#96 POS... Why is Rebecca called Foxy? Is it because she's a foxy lady? ;o)

LITTLE FLUFFY CLOUDS - THE ORB



Hen Genawes' best shot for today: both optimistic and pessimistic at the same time.

#96 As I was listening through headphones it's probably just as well I didn't turn the volume up to 11! Do I take your comments to mean that Rebecca is quite pretty? Having met her, I can vouch that she is - and I hate her!*



~X~



*obviously that's not true - she is lovely really!

#90 thanks for the clip, very good it's a shame that:

a) too much time was spent on their precious hour talking to 'other' R2 presenters, mentioning no names (fear of modding) and

b) I missed Richard Allinson's slot on the R2 Today shenanigans, as that was at 1pm when I was tearing round to my Mother-'n-laws to meet the ambulance crew...as the wardens are no longer called out when the emergency button is pressed (she's in supposed 'sheltered' accommodation - the Council tender for it's management went to the cheapest option of course)) and the ambulance crew rang me to let them in with my keys! 35 minutes cycle ride (uphill) in a record time of 25mins..

Stress City Arizona.

Three weeks flat on her back at NHS expense, they'll have to tie her down!



By the way, I have ordered Ryan Bingham's CD of which Lord Ammo & Sub Lieutenant Cullum played 'Weary heart' yesterday. I am aware that I could have bought it 'virtually' and downloaded it to my ipla*er but I do like the feel of something tangible for my hard-earned coppers!



I certainly can't wait until the dulcet-toned RA takes a proper daytime slot, his music and banter are brill.



#95 if we are going down that route, then anything from Ten(t)pole Tudor might be appropriate!
