I've been wondering for a few months now whether this blog is making the best use of your input into the show. I don't believe that it is anymore and with that in mind we have decided to close down this blog page
All social media moves on and develops and over the next couple of months there will be new ways to communicate via the BBC Radio Scotland website. The team feel that the blog has reached a point where the programme requirements, along with ways to communicate can be served better elsewhere.
We would still love to hear from you. We know most of you email, text or use our Facebook and Twitter sites so please continue to contact us via those options. You can email getiton@bbc.co.uk, find us on Facebook or Twitter, or during the show you can text 80295 or call 0500 92 95 00.
As always, you'll find details of the upcoming themes on our programme page on the BBC Radio Scotland website.
I know some of the regular contributors to this page already get in touch through some of these other options and I hope we can count on the rest of you to keep in touch. It's a struggle every night to fit in all the music asked for but I know I can rely on my production team to make sure that we try to represent all of our audience.

Tomorrow's theme is songs that mention names so that could be anything from Hey There Delilah to Department S doing Is Vic There. Co-incidentally we played both those songs tonight so they won't be receiving an airing tomorrow. What will though? Over to you...
The fact that Huey Lewis' Grandfather invented the waxy coating for Edam cheese is something that's going to stay with me for a long time. Thanks for all your fascinating nuggets that you shared with us tonight.
Tomorrow's theme could include Here I Go Again, There She Goes or I've Been Everywhere as, you guessed it, the theme is Here, There and Everywhere. Let's see what you come up with. Leave your sensible suggestions on the blog and hopefully we will find them hidden among the witty banter.
Brilliant mix of music tonight folks - one of the best in ages. There were so many gems that we had the honour of dusting down for tonight's show. Always good to go with the unexpected and The Red Guitars was a great example of this. It was really nice to get a good reaction to something that most people are not familiar with.
Tomorrow is a chance to show off your musical knowledge - then again that could be the case most nights. As we are in the middle of exam season I want you to impress me with an interesting fact about your song of choice. Musically, you can ask for what you want all you need to do is prove you know something the rest of us don't.
Spring cleaning is on the agenda for many folk so tomorrow evening I will be asking you to add one more item to your list of chores. If you've been spring cleaning your music collection then what gems turned up that you'd forgotten about?
I know every time I try to sit down and weed out my CDs to make more room then I spend the day sitting on the floor listening again to albums that have slipped through the net in years gone by.
Let me know about the records you blew the dust off and rediscovered...
Train songs have always been a part of popular music and the romance of the railway is still providing inspiration for the songwriters of today. There's a particularly rich seam of songs in the country genre with artists like Cash and Merle Haggard recording entire albums of train songs.
Don't feel you have to stick strictly to the trains themselves as tickets, stations, platforms and long, long delays may all feature on Monday's show.
]]>For the last Friday of every month we want to do a theme that reflects what's been talked about in the preceding weeks and for this week we've gone with The Voice, BBC 1's new Saturday night talent show. The gimmick is that the coaches don't see the singers when they appear and have to judge them only on their voice.
So tomorrow I'll be asking you to nominate those artists whose voice is so distinctive that you would recognise it with your eyes shut. Whether they are croaky, sweet, or soulful it doesn't matter, they just need to be recognisable...
The fact that we have a different theme every night, kind of makes Get It On is kind of like a concept album on radio.
Which I suppose is how Miss B came up with the idea of doing concept albums as a theme. According to her, " A concept album is a record in which all the songs are linked by a theme - Sgt Pepper is one that is debated - as it seems to have persuaded others to record concept albums, but the concept of Sgt Pepper was lost in the final recordings - it was originally going to be about the life of an ex-army bandsman. Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys is sort of similar - it's a group of songs unified by emotional content - Brian Wilson's state of mind at the time - but you are likely to get people suggesting tracks from both of these I suspect. Pink Floyd's the Wall, and even Frank Sinartra's In the Wee Small Hours is considered a concept album."
So that's the premise for Thursday's show. We have come up with the concept, now you just have to come up with the songs...
Tomorrow we begin the search for Britain's poshest pop stars. From James Blunt to Mac Bolan let's have your suggestions of the singers whose breeding shine through on everything they have ever recorded.
It's your suggestions of the double barrelled, plummy voiced poshos who are never going to sing Working Class Hero. Mind you, even if they did I would not be playing it as I've been caught by that song once before. Not one for teatime listening, no matter how posh the singer!
Thanks to our amazing multi-talented listeners it would appear that we have enough gifted musicians to put together a pretty unforgettable edition of Radio Scotland's Got Talent. As well as the Rev Steele, a minister who likes to play The Clash on bass guitar we have listeners who can do Rio on the violin, Lady Gaga on the flute, Adele on The Clarsach and Mhairi's Wedding on the chime bars. It was a really fun show tonight and I loved hearing all your stories about the first songs you learned to play. Today's teenagers seem to have much more fun. They get Nirvana and we got Greensleeves.
Tomorrow we celebrate singer-actor Barbra Streisand's 70th birthday by turning to the silver screen for inspiration and feature the best movie themes of all time.
To those who think Get It On might have lost some of it's eclectic nature I offer up as evidence tonight's playlist featuring everything from Dizzee Rascal to Danny La Rue with a bit of Nick Cave thrown in to liven things up. Superb mix if, not a little bit mad.
On Monday we mark the death of Bert Weedon whose promise to 'play in a day' made many of us pick up a guitar. Legends like Eric Clapton and Brian May were among those who learned to play using his techniques. So I'd like to ask those who are musical, what was the first song you learned to play? I won't ask you to prove it by playing it for me, but any photographic evidence of the bloggers brandishing an 'axe' would be welcome.
Tomorrow night I want you to further confess. Pick two songs: one cool...and one not so cool. We will play one of them, but the question is which one? Prepare to expose your musical split personality!
Tomorrow's theme is 'borrowed tracks'. Is there a record that you borrowed from a chum and forgot to give back. Fess up tomorrow night...
'Meet Me on the Cornea' and 'Love of the Common Pupil' were two of my favourite puns from tonight's theme of 'eyes'. Edwyn and Paul Quinn's Pale Blue Eyes sounded magnificent tonight but it was also good to hear a Springsteen track that doesn't get played a lot. I was bit shocked to get a text from someone who used to play I Wish I Was Blind to his baby daughter and now she is 18!
Last week, we asked you to nominate your favourite opening track on an album, so tomorrow I'd like you to fast forward to the best closing tracks. Is there a hit song at the end of an album that deserves a play or a hidden gem that is rarely heard?
I actually think it would be fascinating to play the same albums that were used for the opening tracks theme so feel free to double up on your suggestions from last week.
A big response for tonight's 'repeat play' theme proved that there really are songs that you never get fed up with. I love the idea that people could love a song so much that they can play it 200 times over a weekend and not get fed up with it.
Tomorrow's theme should be a visual delight as well as an audible one as the theme is eyes. From lyin' ones to ol' blue ones we should not be short of material. Don't just limit yourself to eyes though as we will also accept songs about what you do with them.
