Amazing Songs & Other Delights #80- The These Are a Few of My Favourite Songs edition by Raquel Pinheiro, Monday 2nd @ Yé Yé radio

The Shirelles

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #80 – The These Are a Few of My Favourite Songs edition airs Monday 2nd, 3-4pm (gmt+1) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

This edition has a self explanatory title. Some of my favourite songs, from different time periods, in one radio show. I have many more favourite songs, and could fill 24 hours, or more with them. But, here, there are 17, including my favourite song, Will Your Me Tomorrow, sang by The Shirelles.

Will You Love Me Tomorrow is also known as Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, title that, to me, gives a better view of the longing, fear, expressed by the lyrics. It was written by Carole King, and her by then husband and co-songwriter, Gerry Goffin and first recorded by The Shirelles in 1960.

Sometimes I Drink My Coffee by the Grave of William Blake is, if not thee song,is a song I would like to have written. It’s brilliant. I would love to have written A Lady of a Certain Age by The Devine Comedy, and Canção de Amigo by Um Zero Amarelo. And all the other choises, of course.

Baby, I Love You was originally performed by The Ronettes in 1963. It was written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, and Phil Spector, produced by Spector. Phil Spector produced The Ramones’ End of the Century, released in 1980, in which the band cover of Baby, I Love You appears.

North Marine Drive, Ben Watt’s debut album from 1983, is one of my all time favourite records. I could have picked any of the album songs. I went with the title track.

Aftermath ranks top on my favourite Rolling Stones albums, and Under My Thumb is without a doubt my Stones favourite song.

On the department of favourite albums, there is also Queens of the Stone Age’s Songs For the Deaf. Mosquito Song is the hidden song on the cd version of the album. And eerie, gentle, yet macabre, acoustic song, sang by Josh Homme, with Dean Ween, of Ween, on acoustic guitar, that grows in crescendo and ends with a bang.

Tracklist:
01: Julie Andrews – My Favourite Things
02: The Shirelles – Will Your Me Tomorrow
03: The The – Sometimes I Drink My Coffee by the Grave of William Blake
04: The Ramones – Baby I Love You
05: The Devine Comedy – A Lady of a Certain Age
06: Josh Rouse – James

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #60 – The A Family Affair edition by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro by Gaia, Renato & Raquel Pinheiro – Monday 26 @ Radio Yé Yé.

The A Family edition programme has songs by brother Renato and I sing together, through WhatsApp, including my niece, Gaïa, favourite song: Canção de Embalar by José Afonso.

My brother and Iive over a thousand kilometers apart. We made good use of the fairies of technology. He is usually on speaker, strumming his Takamine or unplugged Les Paul model and singing, I’m not on speaker and or may not, be stunning my, unplugged, Strat model., and singing. Or humming the bass line.

The Beatles grace this post since they are a family affair. Our mum and her sisters, who were teenagers and young women in the 60s,lovec them. The first sing our parents dance to was a Beatles song. As a child I saw Yellow Submarine at least once a year on a movie theater,aming with every time it was shown on television. Help would be another much seen film.

There are two bands with two songs on the programe. The Beatles and Blur. We sing many Beatles and Blur songs. My niece loves Coffee & TV and its video. There is also the most Beatlesnesque song ever, not written by the Beatles, Oasis’ Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #53 – The Fórum Sons edition by Pedro Rios & Raquel Pinheiro @ Yé Yé Radio, Monday 6th

Xiu Xiu

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #53 The Fórum Sons edition airs tomorrow,  Monday 6th, 314pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio:https://yeyeradio.com/ (or on the app)

The Fórum Sons edition is mine and Pedro Rios’ (one of print Mondo’s writers and current Ipsilon, Público’s culture suplement,editor) homage to the thrilling, crazy days of Fórum Sons music and much else online forum that saw Portuguese music writes, musicians and music lovers endlessly debate the virtues, or flaws, of a given artist or band. And boy, could we debate. And argument.

Those were the times of no one, but us, have heard of Antony and The Johnsons The White Stripes and Queens of the Stone Age. Of Wolf Eyes, Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, Lightning Bolt. As well as of loving Low, Daniel Johnston or Mark Eitzel.

On Fórum Sons life long friendships were forged, marriages came to be a and ended there, writers were enlisted – I lost count of how many people ended up on print Mondo through Fórum Sons. We lost people too, namely Fernando Magalhães, a beloved veteran Portuguese music critics. Even a five aside Fórum Sons team was born.

My first Fórum Sons display name, Monsters in the Parasol, for years shared with my by then husband, is from Rated R, the second album of The song is part of my choices. My second Fórum Sons name Miss Library became the dj name I used when I lived in Lisboa and my dj sets were called Amazing Songs & Other Delights. Pedro Rios display name on Fórum Sons was AKA Idiot. For real! No one ever said Fórum Sons was the most sane,logical, serious place on earth, but it was an extraordinary place. We miss Fórum Sons dearly. Fasten your seat belts, you’re in for quite the sonic ride.

Tracklist:01 – Antony & The Johnsons – Be My Husband (Raquel); 02 – Aphex Twin – Xtal (Rios); 03 – Boxhead Ensemble – Still Burning (Rios); 04 – Daniel Johnson – Mountain Top (Raquel); 05 – Deerhoof – This Magnificent Bird Will Rise (Rios); 06 – Giant Sand – 1972 (Raquel); 07 – Mark Eitzel – Move Myself Ahead (Raquel); 08 – Lightning Bolt – Ride the Sky (Rios); 09 – Low – (That’s How You Sing) Amazing Grace) Rios) ;10 – Mogwai – Punk Rock (Rios); 11 – Mr. David Viner – This Boy Don’t Care (Rios); 12 – Queens Of The Stone Age – Monster In The Parasol (Raquel); 13 – The White Stripes –  Hotel Yorba (Raquel); 14 – Sonic Youth – Mote (Rios); 15 – Turbonegro – Prince of the Rodeo (Raquel); 16 – Wolf Eyes – Stabbed in the Face (Rios); 17- Xiu Xiu – I Luv the Valley OH (Rios)
