BBC Radio Scotland (Best Scottish Albums - HOLV)

[Ketamine]

Carol has asked me to pass on a message to say thanks for everyone who
contacted her, and sorry for anyone's material that isn't used, or that she
didn't get a chance to get in touch with directly.

The details of transmission:
Classic Scottish Albums
The Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
Thursday 8th March @1130am, BBC Radio Scotland

Or visit the following link to the Listen Again facility up to a week
after transmission to hear it online: www.bbc.co.uk/radioscotland

[postlibyan]

thanks

PJK

[Ketamine]

Carol has kindly offered to send transcription cd's of the show so i wouldnt worry about not being able to hear it.

[postlibyan]

PJK

[dynamine]

[fornasetti]

It's ok - I'm sure your accent will save you !

Only joking.

[david porte]

och aye the noo

[Ketamine]

david, me too. 'hi, im brian fae edinburgh'..LOL

[Bettina]

It'll be fair guid. Cannae wait!

[frarn]

I didn't get contacted again in the end, but that's probably a good thing as all those Scottish listeners would probably never understand my broad Yorkshire accent ("eyup!!!!").

Would it be possible to get hold of a copy of the CD after the event from someone ........ Ket?? anyone??

hope so ..... will use the "listen again" link once it is up and posted anyway. Looking forward to hearing some unfamiliar voices to link with familiar names ....

[Baddy2shoos]

I'd like to hear this, but have no internet connection at home.

That snob, Carol, never called me. Imagine, ignoring the #1 fan.

[serpentine]

Och, I cn 'jes fien! Ye'd batter trie a wee bet herder'thn that 'ta fool this yank!

[david porte]

Groundskeeper Willie....Is that you??

[joyce63]

I got a CD of the show in the mail this morning (didn't expect to receive it until after it had been transmitted).

Don't want to spoil it for everyone but I really enjoyed it (apart from the 15 seconds or so when I speak, I had kind of hoped they wouldn't use me, and the bit they did use was probably the worst thing I said).

Robin's great, but the big thing for me was the interview with Pat Nevin - he was really insightful. I always remember he was a big fan from the beginning. Are you here, Pat?!

The only thing I didn't like was the volume the tracks are played it, it's too low...very minor quibble however.

[mmmender]

Joyce, would you mind providing me with a copy? I'd like to upload it to my server to make it available to everyone on the forum.

[mmmender]

The show is actually already available online, here's the link

[by the sea]

Umm, that's The Proclaimers piece. Check back next Thursday 8/3.

[Ketamine]

I also received the CD this morning. I have uploaded it already but am i alowed to post the link to it even though it hasn't been broadcast yet?

[by the sea]

Well, considering we all might be dead tomorrow....

Well in that case BTS...

Sure, post the link.

[by the sea]

Ooh, goody. Thank you.

[Ketamine]

The great thing about the esnips folder is that you are able to listen before downloading.

[bearclaw]

think ive managed to email the mp3 to meself not sure though

[mmmender]

ROBIN'S INTERVIEW IS FUCKING STELLAR!

[floatboat]

Have just listened to this - brilliant! Cheers Brian x

[fornasetti]

Thank you, Brian. I enjoyed that. Was it the whole show or an extract ?

[Ketamine]

Thats the whole show. Starts off really weird though, no intro..just chat.

[fornasetti]

And it finished quite abruptly, too.

[Ketamine]

They will probably have their own 'jingles' and stuff at the beginning and end. We'll know when it's aired. Joyce, is your cd the same?

[joyce63]

Brian, my CD has 3 tracks/chapters. The main one is the show which does indeed start and end abruptly, one is about 30 seconds of beeping and the other one is about 2 minutes of silence (well I think it is, I gave up after 15 seconds). Presumably this is where the credits go on the show they broadcast.

Yep, same here!

[by the sea]

That was heaven. Robin is amazing. Thanks, guys.

[Ketamine]

Totally agree. That was a great interview with him.

[fornasetti]

And wasn't that Liz reading out her own lyrics ? If so, do you think it was an old recording dug out of the archives ?

[by the sea]

That's not Liz. It's a female reading a lyrical interpretation of CCF.

[mmmender]

The show has been uploaded to the Dials server.

[riah]

Joyce, would you mind providing me with a copy? I'd like to upload it to my server to make it available to everyone on the forum.


:2cry: :help:

[riah]

thx mmmender :)

[mmmender]

As soon as I'm finished with another upload I'll put a copy in the Treasure Hiding forum too. If you don't want to wait just use the download link that ketamine provided on page 2 of this thread.

[riah]

ok thx. downloading:)

http://www.esnips.com/web/CocteauTwinsLiveMusic

[mmmender]

Yes, that's the one.

[ossian]

Great!

[fornasetti]

That's not Liz. It's a female reading a lyrical interpretation of CCF.

Well it was a good impersonation then.

[mmmender]

Well it was a good impersonation then.
I'm going to try and transcribe it then I'll post it in another thread.

[Fritter]

What a super show.

[joyce63]

Well it was a good impersonation then.

I didn't think it sounded all that much like Liz...her Scottish accent is very much diluted after living in England for years.

[fornasetti]

I thought it sounded like her reading out that "Cemetary By The Sea" poem on Radio 1.

[bearclaw]

loved the show ;-) was so wonderfull to hear cocteaus getting the recogiition they so richly deserve well done everybody who took part it was ace ;-) - and of course im playing - heaven or las vegas NOW lololol - BLISS

[seagirrl]

Thanks for posting the link! Lovely. :)

[plink]

that was lovely, thank you ketamine.

loved the bit about singing to lucibelle :2cry:

[Baddy2shoos]

I need to hear this :(

[garp]

Thanks guys, that was a great program. Robin sounds like a jovial fellow.

[E-Lo]

Excellent interview. Robin gave some insight into their songwriting process which was fascinating, and the commentary was good. Thank you for doing this

[georgetown]

Made me laugh and made me remember how good live they were at the time of the album. Congratulations to all involved. Will listen to it again and again.

[frozen]

aye, cheers fur that, fine way tae start the day

[mike_mhg]

Listening to it now at work. Fantastic.

[frarn]

excellent program, made me realise what is so good about the album, and brought back my memories of that period and what it all means to me .....

[Bettina]

Finally figured out what The itchy glowbo blow is - the feeling you get when you can get your breakfast down your shirt but not in your mouth and can't concentrate on anything because there's a programme about your favourite band about to come on the radio.

[Bettina]

That was sublime, made me feel like an immortal loved-up 19 year old again. Great to hear them on national radio.

And Brian fae Edinburgh, ye sounded brand new to me.

[Ketamine]

LOL. Thanks Bettina. I just had a very amusing message from Robin via myspace about the programme.

[moeism]

wait how are where do i hear it?

[Ketamine]

The radio programme?

[Ketamine]

[moeism]

[Angel]

Someone needs to point Elisa to this thread. With her love of the Scottish accent she'll have a heart attack!

[moeism]

lol very true.

[Angel]

i know I'm hormonal when I actually shed a couple of tears while listening to that.

[mortalcoil]

Great stuff.
Thanks for the reminder.

[postlibyan]

Ket -- you rock. thanks much for posting that.

PJK

[Ketamine]

You are very, very welcome. :)

[iceblink555]

Thanks for posting the show for us, Ketamine. I really enjoyed that!

[sirenisima]

Exellent post, I have finally got the chance to listen to some of the great thoughts of our sipiritual musical leader.
His calm voice perfectly contrasted the one of the presenter.
If I could only live till the day play again:2cry:

[mmmender]

Bumping this thread.........does anyone still need a copy of this program? It seems that Ketamine's link no longer works.
