    Must have heard at least 50 different versions of Barbara Allen, none as utterly sublime as this one by North Cregg.

    Desolation Row. Nice way to wind down on a Friday evening.

    Thomas ‘Dobly’, followed by Pigbag - good man, John :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 72,622 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Great band, Cousteau :)

    Good to hear another one of their songs, rather than the usual ‘Last Good Day Of The Year’.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    The Delta Rhythm Boys and the Golden Gate Quartet. Cant beat the trusty ole favourites!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    And a bit of Buster Bloodvessel. Good show!

    John discussing the debate about the first ever rap song, whether it was Blondie or someone else. Surprised he failed to mention The Preacher and the Bear by the Jubilaires among others as its a song i first heard on creedon many years ago and is often mentioned as been a very early forerunner of what became rap.

    I like how he went from playing a song from the 1930s taking the piss out of parents for calling their children after Franklin D Roosevelt to a modern song that probably would be more suited to 2FM.

    Fontaines DC singer sounds way too like Dustin for my liking, half expecting him to have a go at Twink or something.

    2 lovely numbers from Mide Houlihan. One for the 'Turnip Head' playlist.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    The lovely Cathy Davey. Is there a more under appreciated artist in the country? Great to hear her get some airplay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 72,622 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Double dose o’ Suede to finish - good call!

    The last song being ‘Golden’...sublime :)

    I think John is a fan :D

    John does have a habit of repeating himself. Have heard him tell that Prine-Kristofferson story a few times at this stage. I always forget it anyway so no harm in the repeat!

    If you listen to him as frequently as I do, you do tire slightly sometimes of the same anecdotes/intros! Some examples...

    Reminding the listeners that Colin Vearncombe aka Black died near Cark airport.

    Always introducing First Aid Kit as “The Soderbergh sisters trading as...”

    Referring to Elvis Costello as ‘Decky McManus’

    :D

    Ha yeah, the elvis one springs instantly to mind. My favourite is when he plays his beloved Golden Gate Quartet and regales us with the tale of him scouring New York for copies of their LPs which he then had to sell during hard times as a student in Cark. Like the true seanchai he is, he'll add some extra small detail each time. Kind of endearing really.

    Ah...the wonderful and oh so talented Joan Armatrading. My favourite song of hers too.

    Coney Island Baby. Sublime.

    Shipbuilding....what a song. Though gotta admit i've always liked the Robert Wyatt take a bit better, no disrespect Elvis....or Deccy as John will probably say!

    Not forgetting Suede’s brilliant version, from the War Child charity album :)

    Once you hear it, there is no going back. My wife said the same thing when the broke in UK and it makes me chuckle every time.

    Hopefully will hear some Bob Marley and the Wailers tonight in tribute to Bunny (RIP).


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Hadn't heard about Bunny Wailer. Sad news. Should end show with Bunnys superlative 10 minute version of This Train. RIP.

    What’s with John suddenly playing tons of Oasis in the last week or so?


    Has one of them died?
