Bei Bands, die es auch Früher (TM) schon gab, besteht ja immer latent die Gefahr des nostalgischen Verklärens.

Aber hier, das ist neu(er) und geht solide ab.

C’mon, folks! It’s time to give my new album a listen. It’s available everywhere, but we can see where people actually listen.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's #ThePlaylist

This week we have another guest theme, this time from @FloatingOnion who flew in (without a cape) to ask for songs about:

Heroes

He wanted to hear YOUR most heroic tunes. He wanted to hear songs that'll save people from a hijacked passenger jet, or have the ability to leave the last chocolate Hob Nob in the packet. He wanted songs that were strong, and fast, and fresh from the fight, and by golly, he got 'em.

This week's theme-specific artwork, which is pretty much the box design from Heroes chocolates, but it says 'ThePlaylist' instead of that firm that used to make decent chocolate, but then got bought out by Americans and now it's 90% palm oil and tastes like ass.

Behold the glorious return of #ThePlaylist!

This week we have another guest theme, this time from @RealAleRocks and Ben Gray, who are colleagues who work in a:

Pharmacy

So two hours of songs about having to wait for an hour because the pharmacist has just gone on their lunch break, and only being able to buy two boxes of paracetamol, despite there being nothing to stop us also going to the Tesco Express next door to buy two more, should we so choose.

A terrifying vision of me in a trilby with an ill-considered moustache, gurning at the camera through a psychedelic swirl of pinks and greens. I don't think this version of me really is a pharmacist.

Behold! This week's edition of #ThePlaylist.

The theme this week:

Three Minute (or thereabouts) Pop Bangers

So, very simply, the favourite songs of the Suggestorate that fall into the three minute pop song category. How many of them could charitably be described as 'pop' we will leave up to you to decide.

And my god, it's a damn fine episode, even if I do say so myself.

Fantastic album, I need to track this down on vinyl. Found a digital copy on soulseek, but I can't hold that.

I find this hard to describe. It's got synthesizers, guitars and an overall dreamy atmosphere. Fantastic stuff.

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?

Grab your shotguns and bags of jerky and start journeying to your nearest safe town with this week's edition of #ThePlaylist.

I bought a t-shirt that made me laugh last week, and, well, @MintSpies decreed that it should be a theme. Therefore it is this week's theme:

Radio Desolation

We asked what that might conjure 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.

This week's theme specific artwork. My head is laying on the floor of a desolate wasteland. In the mid ground two people are picking though the stony ground. Off in the distance, a Nikola Tesla's huge tower has been repurposed as a radio tower, broadcasting #ThePlaylist and making everything ever worse.

Behold, the intensely spooky return of #ThePlaylist, where our theme this week is:

On this week's episode of #ThePlaylist...

Two weeks ago I admitted the terrible secret of my birth, and the disco banger that heralded it, which has led to wanting to hear your:

Birthday Number Ones

We weren't cruel though, and allowed you to pick from tracks that have attained the summit of Mount Pop on any of your birthdays, be they singles, or from albums. And there are some CRACKERS in the pile.

Behold thine field of #ThePlaylist, and see that it is verdent, for this week's edition has sprouted.

Our theme this week comes courtesy of @losttourist who wanted to hear YOUR favourite songs about:

So bust out your little trowels, and grab that foam pad you have to kneel on these days because your knees aren't what they used to be, and join in the fun.
