#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.
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.
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
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
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
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.
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
Behold the return of #ThePlaylist, with the theme this week of:
Behind
And, well, obviously most of the songs are about butts. We should have anticipated this. So yeah, kick back, relax, and enjoy two hours of fine, artisanal songs about arses.
(though not *entirely* about arses)
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
Grab your pickaxes and hard helmets with the little lights on them and join #ThePlaylist on a journey through the Earth’s layers, with this week’s theme:
Geology
Two hours of songs about how much people wanna ROCK! and that. But also mostly about mining. But in a good way, like.
// https://stream.djdarren.site // Monday 19:00-21:00 UK //
Unite and fight, for #ThePlaylist returns once more to promote solidarity for all, with our theme this week being:
We All Stand Together
Because, well, the world feels a tiny bit fractured now, doesn’t it? And yes, that’s mostly because of the media we consume, but it still doesn’t feel great. So here we have two hours of tunes about sticking together one way or the other, and fighting for what’s right.
And what’s right is listening to #ThePlaylist and sharing it with all your friends. This is the Wyld Stallyns of radio.
Excellent. *air guitar*
