Good Morning All :)



The sun is out, the sky is blue...



Waiting for the washer to finish, so I can peg the washing out (what a glamourous life I lead - Not!)



I like the sound of that Hank Williams album, and I shall seek it out pronto!



I don't know anything worth knowing about art, but when the mister was doing a degree in fine art, I found that feigning interest with the occasional knowing nod of the head, saw me through ;D



I went berserk tweeting oldies (on inappropriate behaviour, as was the Twitter brief!) whilst waiting for the blog to appear...



REBEL REBEL - DAVID BOWIE



BAD TO THE BONE - GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS



BAD THINGS - JACE EVERETT



TROUBLE - ELVIS PRESLEY



BAD BOY - GLORIA ESTEFAN & THE MIAMI SOUND MACHINE

MALE STRIPPER - MAN 2 MAN MEETS MAN PARRISH



I think that'll do pig!



Back with my J word and more nonsense later :)

Good morning everyone.

wh



WHO'S ZOOMIN WHO ARETHA FRANKLIN

#20 Curious eh Billie?



#16 & #18 Zoe and PSL - Saw your choon choices in Tweetland - was reading backwards chronologically and was trying to guess what the theme was before I reached Simon' s themetweet.

:^)



Are we all up for some cake - a bit late maybe - but it WAS Jilly's birthday when she was away ...

Good Morning Simon, Team and Blogpoppets



Bit late to the party - I expected 50+ posts by now, but looks like there's still a chance to suggest:



IT COULDN'T HAPPEN HERE by the Pet Shop Boys

GET OFF OF MY CLOUD by the Rolling Stones



GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL by Bobby Vee, or Johnny Matthis, or Donny Osmond (for the HOIB?)

Deebee ~X~

CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OF YOU ANDY WILLIAMS

One more suggestion, as some of my others were frankly rubbish, and not fitting of the theme!



BAD GIRLS - DONNA SUMMER



Right washer finished, and curtain pole needs fixing...

LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER - THE ROLLING STONES

#20 + 26 - I wondered about that too, but decided not to mention it!



Ooh cake - yes please Katy!



J word: JAMBALAYA

YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON TOM JONES

Have work to do so I'll offer up my J-word now:



Jouissance*



*As used in its hermeneutic context, à la Roland Barthes, not in the sense of la petite mort, as that would be just smutty!

Hello again



No time to read back - sticky pc and only got time for another try



Save Me - Seasick Steve



Don't Panic - Coldplay



Trouble - Ray Lamontagne



(sorry if they've been mentioned already)



Right, I really have to go now



Catch you later



Shona x

Looking back, I may have slightly misinterpreted the theme... still, you never know.



Ooh - cake! Thanks KatyMatey. And belated felicitations to JillyM!



I'm really going now...



~X~

so to the J word....



JIGGY

I know Dido is a Marmite artist. But I like her (and it).





THIS LAND IS MINE - Dido

Awwww thank you so much for the kindness and the cake Katy! :-) And also for the lovely scarf on the last blog.. thank goodness it's a nice silky number, as it's going to be a gorgeous day here.



A few more songs for today..



Caribbean Queen - Billy Ocean

That Don't Impress Me Much - Shania Twain

Hey Girl Don't Bother Me - The Tams

Run For Home - Lindisfarne

Don't Stop Me Now - Queen



My J word has got to be Jilly (Jill or Jillian, I answer to all 3) as after 45 years I still get a little irritated when it is spelt with a G (no offence to those who have that spelling!) ;-)

The girl in :-



CELCIA - SIMON AND GARFUNKCAL



Had very inappropriate behaviour

Please Simon - any chance of one of your occasional series ... 'random traditional choon ..'



STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN - THE POGUES or VAN MORRISON & CHIEFTAINS



♥♪♫

#36 Deebee - I think your oldie suggestions are fine :) I don't think most of mine fit, because I went more on inappropriate behaviour, than on Rihanna, farmers and skimpy dress! Oh well, never mind, it's the taking part that's fun :D



I think there will be quite a few folk wearing less than they should today, by 'eck it's a warm 'un! :O

Mornin Simon, all the Team and Drivetimers everywhere!



The best thing I find for blagging your way through art galleries etc is to stand there stroking the chin with the thumb and forefinger of your right hand (must be your own chin btw) and make sure to nod gently every now and then. Gets 'em every time...



Choons about Rhianna, not that she needs the publicity of course:



I'm leaning towards the earlier suggestion of the COMBINE HARVESTER SONG from THE WURZELS as it fits the mood perfectly, but also offer the following:



MORE BOUNCE TO THE OUNCE - ZAPP



ME AND THE FARMER - HOUSEMARTINS



RUBBER BALL - BOBBY VEE



I WANT TO BREAK FREE - QUEEN



I WANT TO BE FREE - TOYAH



There are so many good suggestions already though.



Well have fun y'all :o)



- Paul.

Beware, the HOIB approaches....



ITSY BITSY TEENIE WEENIE YELLOW POLKA DOT BIKINI - BRIAN HYLAND



I'll get me coat...



Oh, my J word is... JOCULARITY



Cheers,



Kev

YOUR'RE GORGEOUS BABY BIRD



some dodgy behaviour on a car bonnet in this one! Great tune though :-)

#38 John B - I, too, like Dido songs - very much actually. I'd go so far as to say she has written the pick of my favourites from the last 15 years.

However, I would love to hear them sung and interpreted by a vocalist more to my taste ..

Good Morning all



Like to add my vote to



GO NOW - MOODY BLUES



and



LAND OF 1000 DANCES - WILSON PICKET

Dignity - Deacon Blue

Morning Simon and bloggers. Art usually inspires me to mumble about "perspective" and "vision"



"Inappropriate" oldies - what a great topic:

Angels with Dirty Faces - Sham 69

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll - Ian Dury & the Blockheads

Before he Cheats - Carrie Underwood (fantastic "angry chick" song!)

Wild Boys - Duran Duran

And for today's Bon Jovi track - Living in Sin

'Thats Entertainment' The Jam

#59. After last night debacle, you may as well heap the shame on anyway. I am, of course, talking footie, and not your fine show. In all honestly, I didn't listen to you yesterday, as you clashed with a fine broadcast by Radio Derby.

#58 True - shall we stop flogging it to death and do puns?

Simon. I may be labouring under a misapprehension, but isn't your own good lady something of an artist, in the field of ceramics. Whether she is or not, the advise still stands. On such occasions, indeed any occasion upon which I feel out of my depth,and there are many, I assure you, the best course of action is to take a firm hold of the wifes hand, and agree wholeheartedly with everything SHE says. Loosens many a tight spot.

Gotta go, frabbit!

#54 Katy, Barthes defined two concepts for the analysis of the pleasure we get from engaging with "texts" (and "texts" in this context includes songs, movies, etc). The first was "plaisir" or, simply, "pleasure" but he also recognised that we sometimes get much more than just pleasure, something almost bliss-like, and he chose "jouissance" to express this. You've guessed its original meaning.



I think it is one of the most beautiful words in any language.

MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME -the Tom Jones/Stereophonics version, would be great!

Good afternoon all - finally back to good health after tooth problems of last week! Just call me gummy! Good to be back.



Glorious weather today so going out in the garden with Mr to do some clearing up and harvesting.



See you later.



J words - Jennifer Juniper

#69 Harry - am reading about it just now - a beguiling distraction indeed ...

I guess the art work can wait - I always draw better when celebrity masterchef's on in the background.



Jouissance - would that be the almost out-of-body moment of sublime joy one experiences on hearing a tune/series of notes or collection of words? Certain operatic moments and some poems make me feel that way.

Ok tow final suggestions:



PHYSICAL = ONJ



FRESH - KOOL AND THE GANG



#9 Mandy - love the suggestion for The La's "There She Goes"

#28 - Posh Soul Lady - likewise for Andy Williams "Can't Take My Eyes Of You"

#39 - JillyM - absolutely bang on choice for The Tams' "Hey Girl Don't Bother Me"!!!



Lovin this blog and the show



= Paul.

Having a few problems here, dont know where last entry went to! so trying again



I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER - BEATLES



I CAN'T GO FOR THAT - HALL & OATES

As for what to do in art galleries, I can only repeat what a lecturer in art once told us while guiding us around the Tate: "when you can't think of something to say, don't say anything". I think that could apply to life in general. The old aphorism applies: better to remain silent and let the world think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. If only I'd learned to take advice!



Notwithstanding what I've said above, a very useful word to deploy in any encounter with art of any sort: ironic. Implies depth where there is none; implies comprehension, when there is none; it can mean absolutely anything :-)

#72 Barthes could not have put it better himself, Katy!

Me and the Farmer - The Housemartins

#73 Paul from Milton - me too. It's great isn't it?







★Simon - Arty Mumblings ★



All the above especially re. STANCE. Plus



WHEN YOU DON'T REALLY LIKE IT:



'' .. hmm - quite challenging ..''

" .. this work asks many questions"

"... how original and creative!"

"... I think it's a grower"



WHEN YOU DO LIKE IT:



"I really like that!"





:^D

Puntime Funtime?



Never mind the frolics - here's the pecs, bristols .. etc etc - Sex Pistols

...and another one - seeing as Rhianna is 'out standing in a field on her own'...groan perhaps she could cover herself up with an UMBRELLA.



Anyway greetings from glorious Horsforth with beautiful autumnal coloured trees like jewels on an impressionists pallette..



Oh well - back to stamping bits of paper in the office :-(

Afternoon all glad to see this mornings blog issues have been resolved!



Already tweeted my U2 suggestions for the day which were "Party Girl" and "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go crazy Tonight"



Three word Wednesday? "Wasp attack imminent".



GB

My J word/phrase is JIGGERY POKERY



The erroneous full stop at the start of today's blog might be due to the device Simon was using to blog. I've noticed that those 'fruity' devices tend to put in erroneous full stops if you accidentally double tap before you start typing.



Back to art - I found some of the modern art that the mister and his fellow students used to rustle up, was a bit of a challenge for making the appropriate arty noises. For example, one installation I saw was of a chap *cough* making interesting use of a trifle (think American Pie) I mean, what is artistic about that?!

#82 Not wishing to lower the tone (!), but did anyone hear the philosophical prog on Radio 4 last night? There was mention of someone making an equally interesting use of a fresh (but not live) chicken!



Sorry, I know it's not art, but you just reminded me about it!

#83 O.O I didn't hear that! The things people get up too!!

Gypsies, tramps and thieves?

Keep up the good work!

Hi Simon,



Yes, in full agreement to I'M TOO SEXY by Right Said Fred, plus how about...

Gary Moore & Phil Lynott - OUT IN THE FIELDS

Sting - FIELDS OF GOLD

Housemartins - ME AND THE FARMER



Thanks,

XTC - Love on a farmboy's wages



TOM JONES - You can leave your hat on

My J word is Jollity. But I love joissance - it's not a word I've heard before. It's an education, this 'ere blog.



#42 Zoe - Simon's tweet suggested the theme was about inappropriate behaviour, but I read the blog first and was thinking more along the lines 'get off my land you shameless hussy'... ;o)



I don't know much about art - I just know what I like. A word that Mr B often uses to describe something he's not sure about - could be art/music/food/drink/whatever - is 'interesting'. Could be taken in several ways...



~X~

Day trip to Bangor (Co. Down)- Fiddlers Dram - ok I know it is not the same Bangor!



All together now - The Farm

Afternoon all



Historical fiction not my thing, but I read and enjoyed all Bernard's seaborne thrillers and I'd like some more please Bernard. Well even just one more would be nice, please!

I must share this pic a friend sent! I bet the designers didn't think about the shadows on days like this with the sun being out! PHEW it's really warm! :o))
