I'll tell you what's nice:
Seeing all the people I've picked up over the past year through #ThePlaylist interacting with each other on here, because they've come together into a little online community. It's properly lovely.

Just one, for envy:
Joe Jackson - Is She Really Going Out With Him?
Doing a bit of research for next week’s #ThePlaylist and I ended up revisiting two of my favourite YouTube videos.
They’re Collective Cadenza’s “History of Women Moving On” https://youtu.be/PIlo6M_OTaE and “History of Men Moving On” https://youtu.be/E--cMle8PYE
I can’t believe these videos are over a decade old and still making me laugh.
LateKate-ing #theplaylist , Easter and all knocked me off kilter.
top tunes. Quite nostalgic vibes.
I didn’t getting around to putting a pick in last week but I think I’d settled on Johnny cash’s cover of Hurt. I know the man never stopped but It felt like a big rediscovery ..
By the time I got around to thinking about suggestions for this week’s #ThePlaylist someone had already beaten me to Thin Lizzy. So glad they made the list.
That Detroit Sinners track is taking me right back to the glory days[1] of roller disco #ThePlaylist
[1] For certain values of “glory”. Our roller disco was in a former supermarket, and you had to bump over the divots in the red & white checked lino tiles where the shelves used to be screwed in.
It’s always a pleasure to hear XTC on the radio, even moreso when it’s a less-known tune.
Thanks @DJDarren #thePlaylist
Finally getting to Late Kate #ThePlaylist in its shiny new home.
#nowPlaying #thePlaylist and Late Kate’ing like a boss
The lovely @ethicalrevolution has been kind enough to add #ThePlaylist to the @mixtape at https://nham.co.uk/watch/
Which is thoroughly proper!
Yesterday was Monday. Yes it was a bank holiday, so the shops were open Sunday hours, and I stayed in bed til 12, and the whole vibe about it made it feel like a Sunday.
But it was Monday. And Mondays are #ThePlaylist days and I missed it.
NEXT WEEK'S THEME ON #ThePlaylist:
The Seven Deadly Sins
Have you thought lustful thoughts? Have you thought lustfully about scoffing Far Too Much Chocolate, you glutton?
Well, use those thoughts (and the tag #ThePlaylistSuggestion) to sling some tunes at me and once again we'll build another excellent radio show.

This Jimi lad is quite good. Reckon he'll go far.
Goosebumps every single time I hear Hendrix unexpectedly #ThePlaylist @DJDarren
I have the very best song I've ever played coming up after the next one.
