#ThePlaylist is a weekly dive into seeing how tenuously people can connect a song they love to a given theme.
It goes out live on https://stream.djdarren.site every Monday, 1900-2100 UK time.
#ThePlaylist has stalked into your podcast feed, eyeing up your car to see what it can pull off, because the theme this week is:
Monkey Man
Two hours of SWINGING tunes, all set and ready to get you shaking your (bright red) arses. Not all of the songs are about monkeys though. Some are about apes, great and otherwise. But we’ll overlook that.

This week on #ThePlaylist, we welcome a Guest Suggestor. Giflian brings us the theme of:
Other
And like Santa working as a butcher, we’re bringing you a sackful of bangers. Some of them even fit the theme!

This week we’re all about the:
Mooooon!
Because, y’know, the ruddy bloody moon and folks flying around it and that. So two hours of tunes all about (or tangentially related to) our greatest satellite.
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
This week on #ThePlaylist:
ONE HUNDRED
Because, somehow, despite EVERYONE’S better judgement, we’ve still managed to wring one hundred weeks out of this nonsense. Which says more for my endless desire to be relevant than anything else.

Behold this week’s glorious edition of #ThePlaylist, where our theme this week is:
Tin
It’s mine and Troggie’s tenth anniversary on Thursday, and the Big Tin Men from down Cornwall way have decreed that we must be showered with tin gifts, and what finer gifts that songs that are in some tangential way related to tin.
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
Strap in for this week’s high-octane edition of #ThePlaylist, where our theme is:
Fast
Or, for our Northern comrades, ‘fast’.
Will the tunes rocket along at 300bpm, or will they be about being fast? Or a secret third option. Listen in to find out.

Behold this week’s edition of #ThePlaylist, where our theme is:
Accents
This week we’re taking a trip around the world of accents – both linguistically and designerly. You won’t hear a single generic mid-Atlantic voice in this show. Apart from that one tune. Oh, and that other one.
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
Have a rummage around in the big box for this week’s edition of #ThePlaylist, where our theme is:
Toys & Games
So all of the suggestions this week have been formatted to play on one of those Fisher Price ‘My First Record Players’. Two hours of gentle tinkling that vaguely reminds you of Top Pop Tunes.
Or not.

This week on #ThePlaylist we celebrated:
Ya Mama
Yes, YOUR mother. We celebrated her*, and we celebrated** her good. Two hours of songs about *your* mother.
_
*if she is/was great. We will berate her if not. Harshly.
**or berate her

Behold #ThePlaylist in its somewhat less than glorious form, having wrestled with us for two whole hours worth of every tech issue it could throw. But we managed it! And our theme this week was:
Whistling.
