    Season 580 "69 & 70"

    Super intro and theme, Berni, thank you so much for stepping up to host, especially in your current circumstances. I hope, well, I'm sure, the week will be a distraction full of great music - what a wonderful era you've picked for us for covers, and a great challenge for songwriters too.

    Thanks so much for hosting, great week! Yeah Randy's alphabet week was so much fun, I don't know if he expected people to try to complete the whole alphabet! but he met that challenge so brilliantly! he certainly was a wonderful guy, and is much missed. Very open themes, where you can...

    sotu 578 - Get Yer Ya Ya's Out! And Double your Fun.

    OK, i'm sorry but i can't seem to leave the originals subtheme alone! at the start of the week i was like, how the heck will i ever put those two words in adjacent lines in a song???! but then ideas for a bit of lyric with them both in, pop into my tiny brain, and then i have to go flesh it...

    sotu 578 - Get Yer Ya Ya's Out! And Double your Fun.

    another homemade song for the season. i got a new uke today 🙄 i couldn't resist the bird design bridge, and the bird on the headstock 🕊 and obviously i couldn't resist writing a little bird-themed song to celebrate, either! at the double, in full flight, through cold air alive with light...

    sotu 578 - Get Yer Ya Ya's Out! And Double your Fun.

    indeed! my first thought for the week, was to go get a song to cover from "space ritual", the hawkwind double live album, recorded in 1972, and released in 1973. however, with my mind in hawkwind land, a couple of lines popped into my mind later, that had "alive" and "double" in them, and that...

    Season 577 - Jingles!

    oh my days, what's going on? we have another rather good, very catchy, song for eurovision this year :-o might we have another year of not coming last??? a lot of people in the UK think eurovision is dreadful, so here in this small song, this sort of wanna-be advert for the contest, i invite...

    Season 577 - Jingles!

    the UK has just experienced a cold snap, with snow, which followed some nice warmer weather, when all the blossom started coming out on the trees, and daffodils bloomed. the wonderful walter matthews, aka wallyboy, and sometime seasonista, captured the snow in a gorgeous video, when i saw it i...

    Season 577 - Jingles!

    here's a homemade song for the season. it starts off being an invitation to see the potential of things to be crafted into other things - a sort of advert for various hobbies, if you will - but then it sort of goes its own way! "do you..."

    Season 576 - "Dirty Dancing"

    I think there are people whose hobby and life's work it is to just baselessly slag people off! And obviously those people adore the interweb! When I see these people posting, on my vids or other people's vids, I like to click on their channels and see what vids THEY have taken the time and...

    Season 576 - "Dirty Dancing"

    ok, i was trying to quote steve but it's all obviously technically beyond my tiny brain... i think someone needs to leap in and host lite, to get the ball rolling on that option, because i think it could really open up hosting to people who worry they don't have the time and energy to host, and...

    Season 573 - Tom Waits for Lowe man

    here's a homemade-y for the season. i dunno if it's quite sufficiently "growing old disgracefully". but it is about going your own way regardless, and regardless of the cost... anyway i hope it counts! and it's got a bit of a train theme, which i think ticks a box too... mebbe! "rolling on"
