On the 2nd November 2014 I presented my first regular show on Phoenix FM. I decided to call it 50 Shades of Chay because one or two people have coined that in the past as a band name. Mainly due to the fact it makes people laugh.
I gave myself the easy task in the first week of just picking a host of songs which I feel would work as a collective. In time I would like to theme the show’s most weeks to give it a different edge, but as I am new to the schedule then I think it would be suitable to ease my way in gently.
So here is my first ever playlist…
1.Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – The Good Rebel
2.Paolo Nutini – Scream (Funk My Life Up)
3.1975 – Chocolate
4.Two Door Cinema Club – Come Back Home
5.Klaxons – Golden Skans
6.Alt-J – Breezeblocks
7.Aloe Blacc – I Need A Dollar
8.Disclosure feat. Eliza Doolittle – You and Me
9.Basement Jaxx – Oh My Gosh
10.Amy Sergeant – Racing The Tide
11.Klair Quest – Faith O’Clock
12.C2J – Going Nowhere
13.Black Keys – Lonely Boy
14.Peace – Wraith
15.Palma Violets – Best of Friends
16.Villagers – Nothing Arrived
17.First Aid Kit – Emmylou
18.Hanna-Barbara – Tra La La (Banana Splits theme song)
19.Finding Miranda – Every Bit of Abuse
20.The Libertines – The Boy Looked At Johnny
21.The Maccabees – Glimmer
22.Reverend and the Makers – Heavyweight Champion of the World
23.Beady Eye – Beatles and Stones
24.Fightstar – A City On Fire
25.Foo Fighters – Dear Rosemary
26.Coldplay – Charlie Brown
27.Chvrches – Recover
28.King Blues – I Got Love
29.Stornoway – The Great Procrastinator
30.The Fratellis – Chelsea Dagger
I’m sure as it is soon to hit Christmas themed but I made sure this week I had a small unsigned section for peers, a small dedication to Beady Eye as they called it quits during the week and I’m keeping the cartoon theme songs going. What better than the Banana Splits, right?
I have the king of Creative studios, Dave Shalloe joining me and I’m certain he will make an interesting interview.
