Hah! I managed to play loads of requests tonight and a shitload of stuff I’ve never played before! It was tricky, I’ll admit, because the Bless was quite full (at least at my end) but I avoided gaving big stretches of retro/safe tunes. I think the mix of genres was better tonight than usual, I managed to back off the metal a bit and played a lot more hip hop and electronic stuff. I need to play some more straight-ahead indie next week as, weirdly, that’s the most under-represented genre at the moment.

The best old tune tonight was Ricky Nelson’s wonderful ‘Poor Little Fool.’ God, that’s a fucking great pop song. Best new tune was DCFC’s ‘The Sound Of Settling’ – a great, singalong stomper with a killer chorus.
