#theplaylistsuggestion

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist, we want to hear your favourite: Three Minute (or thereabouts) Pop Bangers Nothing more complicated than that. Just good quality tunes that refuse to outstay their welcome. Let's see how many we can squeeze in to our two hours. Fling your (maximum of) four suggestions this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion and my obedient hooverbot will suck them up for my later perusal and judgement. You can also send this link to anyone you know IRL who wants to take part, but doesn't use Mastodon: https://djdarren.site/archive/suggestions/ // https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK // // https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/ // #Podcast #NowPlaying #Music #Radio

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org @RealAleRocks@mastodon.social The shuffle called and suggested Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians – "Tell Me About Your Drugs" https://musiccloud.io/I2GBG #ThePlaylistSuggestion

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org Has anyone on #ThePlaylistSuggestion chosen Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" yet? If not, that will be my submission. I hope you and @Troggie@beige.party thoroughly enjoy the Discworld Con!

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org @RealAleRocks@mastodon.social #ThePlaylistSuggestion is pharmacy, and it seems like these folks would belong there. Morphine – "Cure for Pain" https://musiccloud.io/nZtV9

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org @RealAleRocks@mastodon.social The pharmacy also seems to be a place where you might pick up these helpful items Buffalo Tom – "Crutch" https://musiccloud.io/Z1r6f Phish – "Tweezer" https://musiccloud.io/Scvvc Chromeo – "Clorox Wipe" https://musiccloud.io/UlxmV #ThePlaylistSuggestion

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist There will be no next week! Because we'll be at Discworld Con and I'm far too lazy to pre-record a show. But... ON THE 17TH OF AUGUST ON #ThePlaylist... Yet another guest theme, this time from @RealAleRocks@mastodon.social and Ben Gray, who, because they're drug dealers or they work in a pharmacy or something, would like to suggest: Pharmacy A terribly difficult one, I know, as there are basically no songs about drugs. HOWEVER, they're ACTUALLY asking for songs about a pharmacy. So bear that in mind. Or not. Whatever. I'm not your mum. Dispense your suggestions this way with #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and with any luck we'll get high on our own supply. // https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK // // https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/ // #Music #Podcast #Drugs #BootsTheChemistCanPissUpARope

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org #ThePlaylistSuggestion You go to the pharmacy when you have a headache Frank Black - Headache From the pharmacopeia side of things Pulp - Sorted for Es and Whiz And other things Madness - House of fun

Going to throw my wizzard hat in the ring and suggest some music with rocks in for this week's #ThePlaylistSuggestion as you may have guessed the theme is #TerryPratchett Sturgill Simpson – "Turtles All the Way Down" https://musiccloud.io/4fHvw Bishop Allen – "Cue the Elephants" https://musiccloud.io/eM7V6 one in honor of "Blackboard Monitor" Vimes Mission of Burma – "Blackboard" https://musiccloud.io/qInpR The Muffs – "Red Eyed Troll" https://musiccloud.io/IjOdz this one goes out to the clacks Stereolab – "Daisy Click Clack" https://musiccloud.io/Z-lKM

NEXT WEEK on #ThePlaylist I'm off to Discworld Con in a couple of weeks, so next week I think it's only fair that the theme should be: The Discworld Songs about wizards, and flying turtles, and DEATH, and THE DEATH OF RATS, will abound. Or just songs about discs, or worlds. Are there any flat Earth bangers? Sling them this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and together we'll spend two hours attempting to make the memory of Sir Pterry proud. // https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK // // https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/ // #GnuTerryPratchett #Podcast #Music #DWCon26

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. // https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK // // https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/ // #Radio #Podcast #Music

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org Oh dear, I'm sorry but you know I can't resist cheese. Would you please be so kind as to consider playing Jukebox Hero by Foreigner. #ThePlaylist #ThePlaylistSuggestion

#thePlaylistSuggestion Someone has already suggested a couple of songs linked to Cú Chulainn but here's my favourites for that hero: Horslips - Dearg Doom Horslips - Faster than the Hound (Roll Back version) Plus: Donovan - Sunshine Superman Andy Irvine - Forgotten Hero

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org 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

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! // https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK // // https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/ // #Podcast #NowPlaying #Music

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org #theplaylistsuggestion My David Attenborough themed suggestions for this week: Queen - Now I'm here (because of his catchphrase 'Here...',) Public Service Broadcasting - ROYGBIV (because of his role in promoting colour television) Embrace - Nature's law (because nature and stuff) Until watching the Life on Earth documentary the other day, I hadn't ever considered why he always says 'Here..', but now get that having travelled all over the world to get to remote locations, _here_, i.e. not in studio in a London, is a pretty big deal that needs to be emphasised to the viewer.

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! _ *get used to this joke, I will be using it a lot. // https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK // // https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/ // #Radio #Music #Podcast

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org finally I can suggest a Die Spitz track! Monkey Song #ThePlaylistSuggestion

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org The Singing Postman - Hev you got a light boy, because my Grandad (from Suffolk) sounded just like this. Also Wiseguys - Deutsche Bahn, which mocks the announcements that are in English with a heavy German accent on German railways #theplaylistsuggestion

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org #ThePlaylistSuggestion Nickelback - When We Stand Together

@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org #ThePlaylistSuggestion Savage Garden - Truely, Sadly, Deeply Darren Hayes - Stupid Mistake
