so the Ray Gelato Giants are Undecided
Goetz Alsmann tells the love story of a Girl and a Sailor
Don't Touch Me Tomato asks George Symonette
Ella and Louis are dancing Cheek To Cheek
Pirate Looks At 40 and he's Jack Johnson
riding a Wave caused by Antonio Carlos Jobim
it's So Real for Tingsek
Dido says Thank you
The Thrills are Just Travelling Though
at the Fairground Attraction Do You Want To Know A Secret?

Patti Smith

We're going to do some California Dreaming,
we'll be Listening for the Weather, we'll be looking for a Heart of Gold,
and (Nothing but) Flowers. Welcome to the Working Week, 9 to 5,
Back on The Chain Gang, and while you're looking forSomeone to Love,
Make a Little Birdhouse in Your Soul.
It may be just Another Day, you may be Feelin' The Same Way,
but think What a Wonderful World this can be.
We're Dancing Barefoot, so Don't Let Me Down.
This is probably your only chance to hear Screamin' Jay Hawkins confess
'I shot the Sheriff', and he had some pretty good reasons too, so...
Baby Can I Hold You?

The play-fool play-list of the day (2011/06/25)

You're The One That I Want down there in The Beautiful South 
With a Girl Like You and the Rutles 
Suicide Is Painless 
A Day Like Today spent with Bic Runga 
or Nick Drake and Hazy Jane II 
Everybody's Talkin about Harry Nilsson 
while He's on The Beach said Kirsty McColl 
There's Traffic but be Glad
and if you go to San Francisco with Scott McKenzie 
make sure to wear some flowers in your hair 
lay in the Beanfields and listen to the Penguin Cafe Orchestra 
Bring a Banana Split for My Baby and a glass of plain water for Louie Prima 
and listen to Carmen Miranda sing Cuanto Le Gusta
caught Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea with George Harrison
Sway with Julie London
surf on a wave with Dick Dale & the Del-Tones to the sound of Misirlou

the Thrills depicted on a beach

Summer Wine will be served by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood
Fred Neil will be searching for The Dolphins in the sea
He's On The Beach, so far out of reach, says Kirsty McColl
or under the sea In an Octopus's Garden in the shade
Trains And Boats And Planes are passing by, but they don't mean a thing to Anita Harris
while for Elvis tomorrow will be too late, It's Now Or Never
so ride the Wave with Antonio Carlos Jobim
it's So Nice, (this) Summer Samba with Bebel Gilberto
listen to the Carioca by The Fireballs
sit Under The Boardwalk on a blanket with your baby and The Drifters
go Dancing In The Street with The Mamas And the Papas
get caught Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea like George Harrison
ask Badi Assad for One More Kiss, Dear
Black is the Color of Hamish Imlach's true love's hair
blown by The Summer Wind which came from across the sea carrying Madeleine Peyroux's voice
it's time for Deckchairs and Cigarettes and other Thrills, just don't change a thing!
a Foreign Affair, a magical motion, a wishful emotion...

...an island to reach

Marianne Faithfull

Alfie, Look at You Now,
Lingering with The Cranberries
Good Day Sunshine to you, Beatles
Me and Simon sing along with Laleh about Nation
We know it's Istanbul (not Constantinople), the Four Lads said so
Dionne, Do You Know the Way to San Jose, after all?
Ain't No More Room says Jasmine Kara
All I need Is A Little Bit responds Madeleine Peyroux
While Richie Havens is Standing On Water
Sly and The family Stone croon Que Sera Sera
Tom Waits in a Sea Of love, and...
Marianne Faithful will be Somewhere
A Rollercoaster for the Amplified Heart
A Cumbia De Los Muertos
It's all Forces ...Darling with KOOP
But, I Will with John Holt the Jamaican way

Bic Runga

Summertime and the living is easy, when you listen to Janis, Big Brother and The Holding Company. 
Nobody Around Here Sings, nobody dances but a Gypsy Style Revenge. 
So Hold On Hold On, for Marianne Faithfull is on the way and it's Easy Come Easy Go. 
Ron Sexsmith is diving in his Poor Helpless Dreams as an Exit Strategy of the Soul. 
A Good Day Sunshine is covered by Lampshade. 
Ry Cooder finds himself in Poor Man's Shangri La.
Los Lobos are caught between the Pistol and the Heart. 
Rickie Lee Jones revisits Gethsemane. 
David Bowie searches among the Young Americans for a song that could make him break down and cry. 
It may be Hello Saferide but I Can't Believe It's Not Love! 
The way I Feel Inside in Zombie Heaven, 
surrounded by Les Negresses Vertes chanting 'C Est Pas La Mer A Boire',
When You Say Nothing At All takes me all the way to Union Station where Alison Krauss sings.
After all, It's Only Love by the Beatles,
on A Day Like Today in the company of Bic Runga.
There's Traffic but you'll be Glad!

Cat Power

Is there anybody going to listen to my story all about the Girl who came to stay?
Or will you be wasting all your money on Syrup & Honey?
Mama Told Me Not To Come, but Tom Jones and the Stereophonics showed up.
Why Does The Wind blow through my house at night whenever Tracey Thorn sings?
Is it Stone Love or is it the truth according to Ruth Foster?
Marvin Gaye sings Mercy Mercy Me, but It's The Real Thing by Jill Scott
It's Only You and you alone, says John Lennon
It's Love Me Or Leave Me with Nina Simone
It's a Cookie Jar from Jack Johnson, and a Harvest Moon for Jane Birkin
It's both The Lady And The Rose when it comes to Los Lobos
It's Cat Power's Crossbone Style search for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus
It's Goodbye Sweet Dreams on Roky Erickson's comeback,
so, honestly...

... What Would You Rather Do during the September Sessions?
