playlist for 12th of January 2013.

The lead up to this show was strange. My train from Liverpool St to Shenfield was delayed and I didnt think I was going to make it. I gave Alex Moore a call to hold the fort just in case I was too late. While on this train, I met a girl who was scared of dogs and suddenly a massive dog appeared behind her. An old American woman vowed to stay between the dog and the now scared stiff girl. Then the scared girl told me she was scared because she read a story about a dog eating a baby. I asked her to elaborate but she was frozen. I also sat opposite a lovely girl named Hannah who gave me some tips on who to play on my show that night… if I was ever going to make it. she told me to play AlunaGeorge which I didnt remember at the time, but I had played them the show previously.

I got to the studio with seconds to spare before Alex put on Justin Beiber and this is the playlist you heard…

GEMS – All I ever

Zoe Sky Jordan – Broken Bone

Chromatics – Ceremony

dems – Cristabel

AlunaGeorge – Diver (for hannah!)

MNDR – Feed Me Diamonds (RAC Remix)

Velveteens – Japanese

The Antlers and Brent Arnold – Empty Castles

Local Natives – Heavy Feet

Magnetic Poetry – Paper Hands

Ra Ra Riot – When I Dream

I also spoke about the urban legend of Gloomy Sunday, the hungarian song linked to a bout of suicides 50 years ago. I played the Billie Holiday version of the song which was unusual to say the least!
