M...Fair enough Gary, it IS your show after all!!!!<br /><br />Meant to say, on the presenting front, you reminded me a bit of Gary Crowley - and I mean that in a good way! Not so much in voice but in style. Gary always comes across so enthusiastic, and I definitely got that from your links too.Pileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631013584775782721.post-41391218231710160172010-11-10T17:13:58.741+01:002010-11-10T17:13:58.741+01:00Ian, originally that was the idea, but as I got do...Ian, originally that was the idea, but as I got down to actually picking out the songs I found time too tight for that approach. At the end of the day most people own Unfinished Sympathy, 3AM Eternal, There's No Other Way already, I thought I'd try and push people in a direction that is a little different. I<br />m not steering clear of things because they were popular, it's just if there is a better song to slot into those three minutes then that wins. Does that make sense? :/<br />GLawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968026418965458002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631013584775782721.post-13591112769187122222010-11-10T13:07:54.633+01:002010-11-10T13:07:54.633+01:00Not anything in particular Gary, just wondered as ...Not anything in particular Gary, just wondered as it was an 'overview of the year' if you'd throw in a 'hit' or 2 from the year. Obviously I don't mean Bryan Adams, Cher etc, but wondered if you'd drop in a suitable crossover indie\chart hit??<br /><br />enjoyed it tho, look forward to part 2.<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631013584775782721.post-57067363596658422482010-11-09T06:11:21.813+01:002010-11-09T06:11:21.813+01:00Ian, not scripted but edited like crazy.

Don't forget there is another show on the way. So maybe what you missed in this one will be in that one. I doubt it though.

Did you script it or just bang it out?<br /><br />Some good tunes, although I'd like to see you mix it up a bit, and throw in some singles from the era too.<br /><br />Great first show chap.<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631013584775782721.post-46037928937912737222010-11-08T14:56:38.131+01:002010-11-08T14:56:38.131+01:00Ah now the penny drops, Tunks isn't in the ban...Ah now the penny drops, Tunks isn't in the band they are on Blow Up.

I didn't realise that Paul still had it in him, I thought after The Weekenders he'd called it a day. I'll have a voyeuristic peek. I know there was plenty of toot about in '91. I had a look through every chart from that year, just goes to show you have to cherry pick your way through to get to the good stuff.Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968026418965458002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631013584775782721.post-71682387337777746552010-11-08T11:00:21.801+01:002010-11-08T11:00:21.801+01:00Great debut Gary - I was never really a hardcore i...Great debut Gary - I was never really a hardcore indie kid at all (more into alt.metal - King's X or Jellyfish, Boys Wonder and the sort of tunes collected on <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/precious-underground-r299512" rel="nofollow">this</a> comp in 91) so most of these tracks are new to me. They sound better to my ol' ears now, than they did at the time and haven't really dated at all. On the subject of Swedish bands with dodgy names have you checked out Paul Tunk's Swedish band <a href="http://planetmondo.blogspot.com/2008/05/something-old-something-new.html" rel="nofollow">Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck</a>.<br /><br />PS - I've just been checking the <a href="http://www.chartstats.com/album_chart.php?week=19911019" rel="nofollow">album charts for 91 </a> and blow me there was some right ol' guff up for grabs wispy women, mopey blokes and reissuesMondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7631013584775782721.post-77940951307866784012010-11-07T18:51:24.556+01:002010-11-07T18:51:24.556+01:00John hand on heart I don't do any of the above...John hand on heart I don't do any of the above, I don't even have a big hairy nickname or anything.
