#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.

This week's edition of #ThePlaylist is now ready to wing its way across the ether, to squeeze its glorious bulk down your aerial, and tickle your transistors with two wonderful hours of music about...
Radio
📻
So lock your dial and rip that knob right off.
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 / 8-10pm BST / https://labr.online / @labr
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.

Tonight on #ThePlaylist
SPAAAACE
Because space is cool and there are loads of songs about it.

Barely has this week's edition of #ThePlaylist hit the airwaves than I'm already out of the blocks with next week's!
Next week's theme 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.
This week's edition of #ThePlaylist is now available in the usual places for all the Delayed Jades out there.
The theme this week is/was...
Summer Holidays
And it's an *excellent* collection of tunes and "banter".

As is now tradition of a Monday, #ThePlaylist has plumped up its feathers and is displaying its magnificence all over the joint.

This week's theme is hope, and I, erm, hope that you take something positive from it all.
@labr // https://labr.online // Monday 2000-2200
Because of tonight's...issues... with the technology, I've had to rebuild the first twenty minutes of the show. As a result, I'm gonna publish it in the morning because I need to head on to bed.
Thank you so much for hanging on in there while I fought with it and got shit sorted out. It ended up being a cracking show, so I'm looking forward to sharing it with those who couldn't listen live.
Once more, #ThePlaylist takes up its place, triumphant upon its radio plinth, ready to be admired by all the Slack Tanyas who might cast their gaze upon it. See its plumage and be awed.
The theme this week was: Food & Drink

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.
https://www.mixcloud.com/DJDarren/theplaylist-251124-surprise/
:edit: Make sure to listen to the very end. The last track is very surprising indeed.
@labr // https://labr.online // Monday 2000-2200
Once again, #ThePlaylist has strut into its usual places, like the cock of the walk. Show it who's boss by listening to it loads. That's the only way to diminish its power!
This week's theme is: EXPLOSIONS
and it's a chuffing good selection of tracks, all picked by YOU!*

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.
https://www.mixcloud.com/DJDarren/theplaylist-060125-workin/
@labr // https://labr.online // Monday 2000-2200 GMT
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.
