mp3: Various – No Idea Where This Is Going (So Have Some Fucking Empathy)
For this edition of the monthly mix, I started off with a particular song to open things up, with the idea/concept that I’d try it as an imaginary live broadcast with no preparation. All I knew was that the next song and/or band would have to flow well from the previous one.
By the time I reached the 14th song, I wasn’t sure if it was working, which is where the inspiration for the 15th song, and the title of the mix, came from. The 16th song was an attempt to finish off with a bit of pop, but then realising I still had a couple of minutes left, which is why song #17 was added to take it to almost the full hour, thus enabling the incoming newsreader to do their bit and on time.
Enjoy.

Any public playing of music I’ve ever indulged in is strictly off a printed playlist. As ever, nothing but admiration for anyone who can DJ off the cuff. Nice one, JC.

Hallo JC,
do I hear David Gedge after Echo & Bunnymen?
It’s a test, isn’t it?
Greetings (and thanks for your reply recently)

Oops!!!!!
It wasn’t a test…..but at least I know someone listens while looking at the playlist. I’ll sort it out.
Thanks SK.
I was pretty exhausted last night. This mix came at just the right time to recharge. I hold up the sign with the highest score seven times: “Disorder”, “Zombie” (Is war contagious?), “Dream Grrrl”, “The Word around Town”, “Leech” (A beast of a song), “Rush Hour” and “WWW”. Dream Wife and also Sinead O’Brien remind me with their Sprechgesang of Algebra Suicide (If you’re interested (and a bit morbid), “Little Dead Bodies” might be a good start).
