All on my own this week, no guest to keep me company. How to solve my loneliness? PLAY SOME GOOD MUSIC OF COURSE.

I’ve decided I don’t play enough local music. Being in a band myself I know how difficult it is getting your songs played on the radio (A LOT OF RADIO STATIONS HAVE PAY-TO-PLAY… We do not do this on PhoenixFM.)

So I’m compiled a list of mainstream and local music and put some of our homebase talent next to some of their idols on the playlist. I.e. Putting SJ Denney between Noel Gallagher and The Smiths – He was please with that.

SO here it is…

2. The Maccabees – Child
3. Band of Skulls – I Know What I Am
4. CJ2 – Never Seen A Day Like This

6. Reverend And The Makers Feat. Alex Turner – The Machine
7. Stephen Rudd – Into Your Heart
8. Miles Kane – Better Than That

10. Paolo Nutini – Bus Talk (Interlude)
11. Paolo Nutini – Fashion (Janelle Monae)
12. The Redlands Palomino Company – Call Me Up
13. Roisin O’Hagan – Dark, Dark Like
14. Clean Bandit Feat. Rae Morris – Up Again
15. Chvrches – Recover
16. Harry Cash and the Loose Change – Flaming Room
