Title: Partridge Villa
Post by: russon on May 21, 2018, 07:07:32 PM: I’m devoting my radio show to the Villa on Friday night in an attempt to keep my nervous derrière off the toilet, it’d be great if you could join me. I’m on from 9-11pm and you can listen online at www.mearnsfm.org.uk (an Aberdeenshire station but about time they embraced B6 if only for an evening).

I’m looking to compile a quality track list if you can help? I usually play indie/ska/hip hop and a few ideas would be appreciated (please no U2 though, or Quo). Hurricane Smith will clearly be bookending the show but beyond that I’m open to offers.

My broadcasting style is moronically haphazard, it’s proper car crash radio and no mistake but it’ll be littered with Villa anecdotes and good music so worth a try if only for a snigger. There’s a webcam for full toe curling effect, I’m proposing to wear full kit with shin pads.

PS. If there’s any north of Scotland Villains who wanna join me you’d be most mcwelcome.

Thanks
Alex

How do I tune in?

The clue was in the line ‘you can listen online at http://www.mearnsfm.org.uk‘

One of your better lines.

I was stuck in a car coming back from Ipswich once with a bloke from the grim North (Stu will know the Uncle Albert lookalike I mean) who spent an hour of the journey playing songs from various Yorkshire folk singers. I would have cheerfully killed the bastard by the time we got as far as Brian Green's part of the world. And then the tosser stuck Bob Dylan on. We were caught in traffic as well. Bad times.

Post by: thick_mike on May 23, 2018, 06:46:52 AM: Sylvia Says by Charlotte Gainsbourg is my current favourite. She is a villa fan and coincidentally wrote it about Sylvia Plath (another villa fan).

I made the bit about them being villa fans up

Adore that track so will deffo give it an airing.

My Sideshow Bob for the night is a Leeds fan so i’ll be humouring him with some patter about players who’ve turned out for us both. My list has stalled at Stone, Snodgrass, Ugo, Dorigo, Bakke and the unmentionable one from Forest, if you can remember others do please shout up. S’pose I’d better namecheck DOL too.

Thanks for the requests and encouragement, it’s much appreciated. For those out on the razzle tomorrow night there’s a Listen Again function (no escape!)
