#theplaylist — Public Fediverse posts

@DJDarren A track which fits the theme perfectly but is 16 minutes long and not necessarily great for radio, or generally not sitting crying in the dark, is the Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

“The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death”

Optimists.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist

I bought a t-shirt that made me laugh last week, and, well, @MintSpies decreed that it should be a theme. Therefore it will be a theme:

Radio Desolation

We want to know what that conjures up in your lightly broken minds, as you trawl your way across an empty wasteland, desperately trying to survive. Or as you watch people doing that from your secure, well-appointed bunker.

Ping your suggestions this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion, OR you can use the NEW submission form on the website. Or you can send the link to it to friends who aren't on Mastodon.

#ThePlaylist

This week on #ThePlaylist, the theme is brought to you by none other than @swisslet and Dr Caitlin, who want to hear YOUR suggestions about being:

Broke. Skint. Strapped. Brassic.

Two hours of tunes about poverty. What could be more cheerful in *this* economy?

Listen! Enjoy! Tell all your friend!

Well, another brave attempt at decent radio was made.

Thanks to everyone who listened live. G'night all!

#ThePlaylist

Ending on a mellow one.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT IN HIGH FINANCE
CONSIDERING SECOND HAND UNDERPANTS

#ThePlaylist

I'm ashamed to admit that I learned about the chap this song's about from listening to the song ahead of choosing it for the show.

#ThePlaylist

This tune appears to have sleigh bells in the mix, so by the Stay Another Day rules, it should have earned a place on every Christmas music collection.

#ThePlaylist

The vocal on this is extraordinary.

#ThePlaylist

I've long loved this band. I hope Ginger's doing ok.

#ThePlaylist

I discovered this band last week, and my god, they're great.

#ThePlaylist

See.

#ThePlaylist

Bust out your The Good Headphones if you own any, because this track is worth the effort.

#ThePlaylist

The next track is an extraordinary piece. Prepare thyselves.

#ThePlaylist

Though I have to say, as pretty as this piece is, I might have chosen from a couple of different tracks from this album. But I'm nothing if not dedicated to the whims of The Mighty Suggestors.

#ThePlaylist

Entirely unrelated to this week's theme, I was listening to this record quite a lot a couple of weeks back, and thoroughly enjoying it. Then there were two suggestions from it this week.

Lovely stuff.

#ThePlaylist

Dunno why, I just assumed he was a guy in his 30s with an unusually aged voice. But nope, he was (at that point) something like 60 and had just released his first successful record.

#ThePlaylist

I remember being genuinely surprised to discover how old this guy was at the time.

#ThePlaylist

"Enormous Two Tone Troosers will be back after ten with a couple more session tracks..."

#ThePlaylist

*pogos about in enormous two tone troosers*

#ThePlaylist

If I didn't know who this is, I'd assume it was Orange Juice. Jangly. Enjoyable.

#ThePlaylist

I DID ANOTHER MASHUP

#ThePlaylist

@Erased_Citizen That is one of my sales pitches, yes.

#ThePlaylist Gets Your Weeding Done In A Fraction Of The Normal Time

Turns out that listening to #ThePlaylist, I got the weeding done in 15 minutes.

From the era of remarkably short little rap interludes.
