NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist

For absolutely no reason whatsoever, the theme next week will be:

Rubbish

Yes. Two hours of rubbish music. Or music about rubbish. I dunno, take it where you will, and together we'll build the best rubbish show it's possible to have.

Use #ThePlaylistSuggestion so my happy bot can ingest every one of your rubbish suggestions.

This week's dreamers, imagining there's no heaven. It's easy if you try, apparently.

#ThePlaylist

Behold the GLORIOUS return of #ThePlaylist, ready to fiddle with your ears and generally make you feel all funny inside.

It’s the start of yet another year, so the theme this week is:

Looking Forward

We have two splendid hours of splendid tunes, all about looking forward. Or, more literally, being able to see. Either way, tunes good.

Don't forget, there's no edition of #ThePlaylist this week. We'll be back next Monday at 1900 UK time, with the theme of:

Looking forward

You can still get your suggestions this way though. Just use #ThePlaylistSuggestion so my happy bot can gobble them up and spit them into my spreadsheet.

With this, I want to once again thank everyone who has made #ThePlaylist what it is over the past couple of years.

Without every one of you Longtime Colins, it would just be me playing tunes by the Weakerthans, Pennywise, and Frank Turner, yapping to myself and going increasingly mad.

Every single person who gets involved, suggesting tunes and themes, joining in the chat, boosting the posts about it and generally being a damn fine little community have made that radio show as fun as it is. I do genuinely love putting it all together for you, and only wish I had the time and energy to make it even more splendid.

So yeah, as we travel into the third year of #ThePlaylist, know that every one of you is an absolute Champion of my heart.

Thank you. XX

We'll be back on Monday the 12th of January. Until then, have a dig through #TheArchive, both the database, and the older shows that you may not have heard at the time.

https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/

Exciting times if you're a listener of #ThePlaylist!

Thanks to the incredibly hard work of @giflian and @heapy, we now have a BRAND NEW way to search the Archive.

Wondering who the most played artist is? It's David Bowie.

Wondering how many shows Pulp have been played on? The answer is 7.

Wondering which tracks YOU'VE suggested? Well wonder no more!

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist

In honour of Movember (presumably some folks still do this), next week's theme will be:

Haaaaaair

So EITHER the entire original Broadway cast recording of the musical 'Hair', or just two straight hours of Gn'R, Ratt, Poison, Whitesnake et al, and nothing in between.

Or, y'know, whatever you want to suggest.

Make sure to use #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and together we'll build the definitive two hour radio show about hair.

Next week on #ThePlaylist!

In honour of that time of year when squirrels begin hoarding their winter feasts in earnest, the theme next week will be:

Maximum Nut November

So, two hours of songs about chestnuts, and peanuts, and butternuts, and hazelnuts and so on. And just songs about nuts.

Shoot them at me with the hashtag #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and together we'll build the ultimate radio show about nutting.

(that's the eating of nuts)
