FEW DOLLARS
1. The Slew - Robbing Banks (Doin' Time) (3:57) FEW #1 2. Tom Jones - What's New Pussycat? (2:02) LIBRARY
"Welcome to Saturday Tea Time on Ellensburg Community Radio. I am your radio bloke Paul Dunn and I will be playing you weird and wonderful music for the next two hours. We started off with The Slew who were Robbing Banks and Doin' Time. Then we went to the Welsh Voice, well one of them at least, Tom Jones Looking Out of his Window. Now to Placebo and Pure Morning."
3. Placebo - Pure Morning (Radio Edit) (4:00) FEW #2 4. Ennio Morricone - For A Few Dollars More (2:53) DOLLARS #2
"There was Ennio Morricone with the theme to For A Few Dollars More. I'm gonna give you a peak behind the velvet curtain here. I put together tonight's playlist while watching the classic For A Few Dollars More, so you may notice musical references to that film and westerns in general throughout the show. Although there are no such references in the next song Depth Charge's Bounty Killers, okay there maybe some, okay the whole song uses For A Few Dollars More."
5. Depth Charge - Bounty Killers 2 (3:50) FEW #3 6. The Fatback Band - (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop (3:18) DOLLARS #3
"The Fatback Band and Do The Bus Stop. In the UK the Bus Stop shelter is where you spend your early teens with your mates drinking tramp cider, the cheap alcoholic kind that makes your teeth see through and sharing the one cigarette you nicked off your Mam. I know, I do paint a pretty picture of England. Bang Bang, it's Nancy Sinatra."
7. Nancy Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) (2:41) FEW #4 8. Marc Bolan & T. Rex - Telegram Sam (3:46) DOLLARS #4
"Telegram Sam by Marc Bolan & T. Rex. Now to a band from The Isle of Wight, an island off the southern coast of England, where we on the mainland go for holidays and joke about the island being stuck in the fifties. It's A Band of Bees with the song Horsemen"
"That was John Martyn and Rolling Home, a 1967 song of his that I only discovered recently. Here is Aretha Franklin getting her full funk on with the track Niki Hoeky."
11. Aretha Franklin - Niki Hoeky (2:32) FEW #6 12. Blockhead - Insomniacs Olympics (3:16) DOLLARS #6
"There we had the Insomniacs Olympics by Blockhead. Next up is the fantastically silly and brilliant Rubber Biscuit by The Chips."
13. The Chips - Rubber Biscuit (2:23) FEW #7 14. The Shades - Strollin' After Dark (2:12) DOLLARS #7
"We went Strollin' After Dark with The Shades there. I couldn't find a song called Lee Van Cleef in my collection, but I found a few called Clint Eastwood, especially in the reggae and dub genres, so here is Clint Eastwood by The Upsetters."
15. The Upsetters - Clint Eastwood (2:22) FEW #8 16. Diana Dors - Roller Coaster Blues (2:40) DOLLARS #8
"That was Roller Coaster Blues by Diana Dors, who was the UK's answer to Marilyn Monroe and if you don't believe me, pull out your copy of Sgt. Pepper by the Beatles and that glamourous lady in a sparkly gold dress on the right is Diana Dors. Fun fact, fact fans. She was famed for throwing some wild parties, that if you ended up at one, you'd be crawling home and saying Sorry, like ACDC's big brother band The Easybeats."
"Ready for some mispronunciations. That was Hungarian singer Koncz Zsuzsa with the song Visv A Vonat. Now to Evangeline by the Two Lone Swordsmen, much easier to say."
"That was Tunng telling you a Tale From Black. Will someone please see that Blind Lemon Jefferson's grave is kept clean."
21. Blind Lemon Jefferson - See That My Grave Is Kept Clean (2:54) FEW #11 22. The Shadows - Foot Tapper (2:36) DOLLARS #11
"There were The Shadows with Foot Tapper. For years that song was used as the theme to the fantastic Saturday morning radio show Sound of the Sixties hosted by the sadly missed Brian Matthews. That show used to cost me a fortune every week, as I'd hear some great sixties tune for the first time and then Saturday afternoon would be a tour of Leicester's record shops to try and find it, buying a lot more on the way. Now to something that sounds like it was from the sixties, it's Alex Turner from the Artic Monkeys's offshoot with his mate, The Last Shadow Puppets and The Age Of Understatement."
23. The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of Understatement (3:10) FEW #12 24. Louis Prima & Keely Smith - That Old Black Magic (2:56) DOLLARS #12
"Louis Prima & Keely Smith with That Old Black Magic. I've always said, what The Beastie Boys needed were some Monks in their band."
25. Beastie Boys - Bodhisattva Vow (3:09) FEW #13 26. Johnny Cash - Wanted Man (Live At San Quentin) (3:30) DOLLARS #13
"From the classic Live at San Quentin album, that was Johnny Cash and Wanted Man. Now to Roni Size's version of a Western."
"That was Skyliner by Charlie Barnet. Blur's Parklife came on in the car this week and I found myself singing along loudly in a proper cockney geezer accent. By the way the cockney geezer vocals in this song are provided by actor Phil Daniels who got his break as a young lad in the film Quadrophenia based on the Who album of the same name."
"Mavis Staples getting a bit saucy there with Koochie Koochie Koochie. Next up is a song that always makes me laugh because it rhymes 'heroes' with 'Shakespeare', it's The Stranglers and No More Heroes."
31. The Stranglers - No More Heroes (2:56) FEW #16 32. Johnny Otis Quintette and Little Esther - Double Crossing Blues (2:47) DOLLARS #16
"That was the Johnny Otis Quintette and Little Esther getting the Double Crossing Blues, which pretty much is the entire plot to A Few Dollars More. We are at the end of another Tea Time. Before next Saturday, when I hope you'll join me again, remember to check out eburgradio.org and all the great shows throughout the week. We are going to end by keeping to the western theme by playing the Spacemonkeyz remix of the Gorillaz's song Clint Eastwood, which they called A Fistful of Peanuts. So pour that final mug of camp coffee from the fire and enjoy. Cheerio!"
33. Spacemonkeyz versus Gorillaz - A Fistful of Peanuts (Clint Eastwood) (5:54) FEW #17
