Radio Show Playlist Diary – Saturday 31st January 2015
My last show of the month presented right before heading to a meeting at a Manchester theatre who are working on a radio drama of mine – independently of my community radio station activity.
My script influences the playlist and vice-versa so music and talk intertwine. Today’s music in the order played was;
Opening numbers –
1 Chubby Checker – The Twist
2 The Wicked Cast – Popular
I talked of being fired from jobs and played
3 Tex Ritter – High Noon
4 The Beatles Free As A Bird
On TV ads causing madness and stress I played
5 Madness – Cardiac Arrest
6 Dina Washington – Mad About The Boy
On taking getting fit or avoiding it to extremes I played
7 Vangelis – Chariots Of Fire
8 Neil Innes – How Sweet To Be An Idiot
As a tough TV theme quiz question I played
9 Lexx – Yo Way YO (Kai’s Death anthem theme)
Followed by a more familiar show tune
10 Colm Wilkinson – The Man Of La Mancha (Don Quixote)
I got onto walking anecdotes and highlighted them with
11 The Bangles – Walk Like An Egyptian
12 Run DMC / Aerosmith – Walk This Way
I got nautical then as an excuse for a trio of pirate tunes & sea shanties
13 The Irish Rovers – What Do We Do With A Drunken Sailor
14 The Theme to Captain Pugwash
15 Anime Pirates – Shiver Me Timbers
On rescue work in disasters I played
16 The Barry Grey Orchestra – Thunderbirds theme
17 Aimee Mann – Save Me (Magnolia)
My classical music corner choice this week was
18 101 Strings Orchestra – Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata
On words linked to my life starting with S I played
19 The Rolling Stones – Get Off My Cloud
20 Sade – Sweetest Taboo
Discussing gold I played
21 Lulu – The Man With The Golden Gun
22 Spandau Ballet – Gold
It was now too late for me to talk more so I closed the show with
23 Carole King – It’s Too Late
24 Weird Al Yankovitch – The Beverley Hillbillies Theme set to Money For Nothing.

Seeing Weird Al again later this year! He's worth every penny of the ticket cost and a night in a hotel as well (at London prices).

Wow, I love the wide musical net you cast! I have extremely varied tastes myself, so this was a pleasure to read and listen to the music play in my head :)
