Behold the glorious new archive!

Strap on a spelunking hat and dig back to the beginning, where every episode is available to stream.

YOU TOO can talk with certainty about the originals of songs that were actually covers (https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/theplaylist-018-huh-i-didnt-know-that-was-a-cover/) or confidently name some songs that talk about colours in the Pride flag (https://djdarren.site/archive/podcast/theplaylist-006-pride/).

Promotional artwork for my radio show.

It's designed to look like the now playing screen on a classic iPod, with the show info on the right side of the screen, and a photo of me on the left. In this version, I am very obviously wearing a miner's helmet with a torch on the front. It is not a photoshop, I am actually wearing it. Scouts honour.

It details that the archive is available at hhtps://djdarren.site/archive

Please allow me to introduce you to this week's edition of #ThePlaylist, where the theme this week was:

My Name Is...

So we have two hours of excellent tunes featuring people's names. And to give you some idea of how good the tunes in the show are; Enola Gay by OMD had to be relegated to #ThePlaylistExtras.

Yes. I know.

#ThePlaylist moves among us once again! Behold its glorious form, and be in awe of its majesty.

The theme this week:

They Coulda Been A Contender

A whole bunch of tracks from artists who you feel were unfairly overlooked, and should have gone on to far bigger things.

With great deliberation, I’ve decided that next Monday’s edition of #ThePlaylist shall have the theme of…

Animals

Animals are great, and there’s loads of them that people have written songs about. So fling your suggestions my way and let’s see if we can’t put together the best animals-related radio show the world has ever seen.

Monday, on #ThePlaylist we’re going with…

“I heard they suck live”

Which is an IRONIC title, because we’re looking for the VERY BEST live recordings you know of. That version you heard that blew you away and left you unable to enjoy the album recording.

Get your suggestions in, and YOU could join the hallowed ranks of The Champions.

Today’s theme on #ThePlaylist is…

MOVIES

Yay!

I love movie music, and I know you lot do too, so get your favourites in and we'll put together the first of many movie-related editions of the show.

The songs don't have to have been in a film, by the way. They could be about cinema, or mention it in some way. Go mad and tenuous, just how we like it.

Rejoice, for this week's edition of #ThePlaylist is now available for the Slack Stevens to enjoy.

This week's theme: My Hometown

Sadly, you Late Kates don't get to enjoy the irksome gremlins that plagued the first few minutes. Only the Live Clives get that perk.

This week's theme: Birthdays and First Days

And I think you'll find I *definitely* said "The Sugarcubes" when announcing The Sugarcubes. Anyone who says I said "Sugababes" is a liar.

Well, another week, and in a surprising turn of events, there's another edition of #ThePlaylist for you all to enjoy.

The theme this week was: Surprise

So surprise me by sharing this with 20 of your friends and forcing them to listen to it at gun point.

Or not, whatever, I'm not your dad.

This week's edition of #ThePlaylist has arrived for its disciplinary hearing so that HR can warn it about being too damn sexy for the workplace.

The theme this week is:

Workin'

and I won't lie, this one was hard work. The music is awesome, but the tech was...troublesome. IT have been informed, but they don't seem to care.

Are you sick? Well, you're in luck, because this week's episode of #ThePlaylist is certified in North Korea as a cure-all for a vast swathe of ailments.

The theme this week was:

Hospital

and this week I learned that there are a *lot* of songs about doctors, and a lot of musicians with no medical training who sing with confidence about inserting big needles and the like.

#ThePlaylist Christmas Party is now flying across the rooftops, to be punted down your chimney by a bearded fat man. Make sure you leave out meat pies and pints, because Dazza Claus wants more than milk and mince pies.

It all went really rather well, all things considered. There is video, but I've no idea what to do with it...

Slam your door and turn up this week's edition of #ThePlaylist, which the girl you're madly in love with has just sent you on a mixtape.

The theme this week:

When I was 17...

So, uh, yeah, turns out many of those who listen to the show are a similar age to me, so there's a fair amount of '90s tunes here. Which is good. Obviously.

Prepare your scales, for this week's edition of #ThePlaylist has launched its heft into your orbit with its theme of...

heavy

And yeah, there's some HEAVY tunes in the running order this week. But not all of them. In fact, there's some really quite mellow stuff for you to enjoy.
