Phantom's first legal broadcast. What song??

Sinister Pete · 12-10-2003 3:48pm #1

Well I'm sure you're all very excited about the news that we are returning to the airwaves. Here's one for you... It's Friday the 18th, just gone midnight... what should the first song be? Any ideas?

Remember the NEW frequency 97.3!!!!

The Weatherman · 12-10-2003 3:56pm

make it an irish band anyway

butterfly · 12-10-2003 4:08pm

im so excited!!
all going to plans, that night im going to be so strung out i wont be able to hear, but hmmm, at midnight i have everyone forewarned that we're all going to gather around the radio, huddling together for warmth, as if it were wartimes, and listen- listen good, as if our very lives depended on it. keepin that in mind, i feel the first song should be one of the following:
*feel good hit of the summer-QOTSA
*day job-blo.tooth (juno falls now.. why?)
*revelate-frames
*uncle joe's mint balls- sinister p
*everlong- foos
*brown bear-66e
*something new&suitable composed by some willing&deserving band/musician, if s/he/they could rise to the challenge, some sort of.. phantom song??

good luck pete, should be deadly whatever
xx

Creature · 12-10-2003 5:49pm

The Ramones - Do you remember rock 'n' roll radio?

back to front · 12-10-2003 7:06pm

It's gotta be a phantom favorite.... and gotta be Irish..

Turn - Summer song
Blotooth - Leather tassles (classic!!)

Or

Brando (though I dont really know their stuff)

Achille · 12-10-2003 9:31pm

I Fought The Law - The Clash (or Colin Farrel for the Oirish content

)

kranog · 13-10-2003 7:39am

Chris

Tyrrial · 13-10-2003 11:43am

Snow Parol - Spitting Games

Polar - South

or....

Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress..

Hal L. Uja · 13-10-2003 12:52pm

OK so you're all proud of the fact that you play about 99.7% Irish music and such... and playing Juno Falls or somebody would be lovely and all but what about Guerilla Radio by Rage Against the Machine.... Not exactly the kind of music Phantom is reknowned for but I think the sentiment is pretty apt...:D

acquiescefc · 13-10-2003 1:07pm

Teenage Kicks.

Does what it says on the tin.

Hey Pete,

just thinkin of that last post, will you have to play censored versions of songs now with bleeps and dubbed bits over words like b*itch and mutha f*ucka in songs, cos now youre workin for 'the man'??

Pearl · 13-10-2003 2:40pm

Cornershop: It's good to be on the road again.

James Hunt · 13-10-2003 4:04pm

Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins
now you are legit, I hope you lads don't go money mad.

Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd
same thing said differently

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World by Neil Young
because rock is back on the airwaves.

Creature · 13-10-2003 4:58pm

I agree with two earlier posts Thin Lizzy - The boys are back in town or Rage against the machine - Guerilla Radio

fish-head · 13-10-2003 5:54pm

Radio by Rancid. Its perfect.
"radio radio radio radio radio radio radio! when ive got the music, ive got a place to go!"

beardedchicken · 13-10-2003 7:31pm

how about feeding frenzy by npb? that'd be kind of apt!

DerekD Goldfish · 13-10-2003 9:57pm

Atough I love thin lizzy I think boys are back in town is way to obious. Rock and roll radio by the ramones is the best sugestion yet.
Or how about
We dont need nodody else- whipping boy
Nobody does it better -Radiohead version
Airwaves- Pedestrian (havent heard that song in ages and I lost the tape of it)

Daylight · 14-10-2003 10:16am

If it's Irish then A Place For Everything by Future Kings of Spain. Can't think of a better rocking start to the legit phantom. Also thought Guerilla Radio by RATM was a great choice. Thin Lizzy is definitely too obvious.

bandit · 14-10-2003 5:22pm

Radio radio by Elvis Costello or Capital Radio by The Clash

decob · 15-10-2003 8:34am

i know it was used before to close the station but,...

npb - feeding frenzy..

bandit · 15-10-2003 1:36pm

How about Gary Glitters Hello

sitemaster · 15-10-2003 5:34pm

Turn - Radio Radio

or

Steve Bassplayer Otranome covering Louise Redknapp's "Naked"

scuzzy · 15-10-2003 9:50pm

RATM - Guerilla Radio deffo...

gwiggle · 16-10-2003 9:44am

Primed.. Anything off the new single.. Weve been waitin a year to get played by yiz and now your back you have no excuse:D

James_M · 16-10-2003 10:05am

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter - Nirvana

ok so maybe its not practical but certaintly haven't heard on the radio in a while, actually I don't remember ever hearing it.

Looking forward to having you back Phantom. Congratulations!

DMC · 16-10-2003 1:52pm

Ben Folds - Rockin' the suburbs

Silverfish · 16-10-2003 8:33pm

ooooh this is tough.

A Place for everything and so on by the Future Kings of Spain

Or Polar.

Or Antisocial by Turn (cos it IS easier this time)

or hehe maybe the song you played out on on the last night?

Or whatever, I'm just glad to have ye back.

/me sobs happily.

:horned:

dera · 17-10-2003 6:26pm

ooh I'd quite that Snow Patrol song (Spitting Games) too .. it's lovely .. or the Pixies (Rock Music!)

Definitely nothing you might hear anywhere else.

Frames'd be lovely too (if it didn't alienate too many people!)

Cherry · 17-10-2003 11:08pm

Good choice for the comeback song.

nonemoreblack · 18-10-2003 1:03am

What was it then?

I was too busy trimming my nose hair to notice it was midnight and missed the damn return of the Phantom.

DMC · 18-10-2003 7:14am

Yes, I missed it too, being somewhere in the land of nod at the time (explains early post!)

Tell us what it was!

Achille · 18-10-2003 10:17am

hehe, i just listened to the first few songs, (i set my stereo to tape it at midnight, cos i wuzn't at home, ain't technology grand?)

they started with The Clash - I Fought The Law.
