Dreamed last night that @daveybot@mastodon.scot and @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party had a restaurant called Davey & Benny's, and they treated all of #ThePlaylist listeners to a big, free meal.
So, er, lads: can you make the dream a reality? Cheers.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist
The esteemed @FloatingOnion@cyberplace.social has floated on in with a guest suggestion of:
Hero
(or Heroes)
Either way, he wants to hear YOUR most heroic tunes. He wants to hear songs that'll save people from a burning building, or have the capability to leave the last chocolate Hob Nob in the packet.
Fling your suggestions this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion and together we'll build a big, strapping radio show that'll get all of the stuck cats out of all the trees.

Join #ThePlaylist once again, where this week the Mainframe has chosen the theme of:
Electric Dreams
And we're too scared of the Mainframe to go against its wishes. So two hours of whatever the phrase "electric dreams" conjured up in the silicon minds of the LLMs that sent in their suggestions for thematically appropriate songs that humans 'enjoy'.

Right then. One for "Electric" and one for "Dreams":
OMD - Tesla GirlsClassix Nouveaux - Is It A Dream
and of course because both of those fall into the synth pop genre, which I'm sure numerous music journos have written about using "Electric Dreams" as their headline, they're double winners.
Also because I know everyone tends to stay away from the obvious, I can't not mention Phil & Giorgio, can I.
#ThePlaylistSuggestion #ThePlaylist
Join #ThePlaylist on a grand tour as this week's theme takes us to:
South (of the United States of) America
where all of the tunes are, in some ways moreso than others, related to the lands to be found South (of the United States of) America. And not South Africa. Definitely not. It's a whole different place.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist
After this week's shambolic with the theme, we figured it might be good to land on firmer ground that we couldn't possibly bugger up, so with that in mind, next week's theme is:
Electric Dreams
Other than the obvious, what does that conjure in your mind? Fling your suggestions at #ThePlaylistSuggestion (and try to ensure that the posts are public, because my greedy little bot is respectful of privacy and won't see them).
We're looking forward to seeing where this one goes!

Anyone who followed me today because I posted a link to a silly video on YouTube is gonna be mighty disappointed that the rest of my feed is Linux, #ThePlaylist, Linux, bitching about work, bitching about Linux, shitposts, and Linux.
In just ONE HOUR, find the spare key for your combine harvester (if John Deere will even let you have one), and pull on your wellies, because #ThePlaylist, along with @RolloTreadway@beige.party is off:
Farming the land
Yes, in another guest theme, this week we're looking at the songs that popped into the collective, diseased minds of #ThePlaylist listeners when asked to consider the countryside. Are any of them even about farming? Listen in from 1900 UK time to find out.
https://stream.djdarren.site to join in the chat about how taxation rules are crippling the poor millionaire farmers and Jeremy Clarkson, or
https://audio.djdarren.site if you'd rather just listen to the tunes and imagine driving a tractor or rolling in the hay.

During #theplaylist yesterday there was a k.d. lang track ("Constant Craving") playing, and I mentioned how there was a magazine spread in the 90s with her and Cindy Crawford that was the sexual awakening of a few friends of mine.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist
To celebrate the fact that I got to see gorillas when visiting Longleat last week, and had my car VANDALISED by a monkey, next week's theme is:
Monkey Man
And yes, I'm aware that a gorilla is not a monkey. A gorilla is an ape. As are we. No tail, init.
Anyway, fling your ape/monkey/primate related suggestions this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion and together we'll put together two SWINGING* hours of radio!
