Strap in for this week's high-octane edition of #ThePlaylist, where our theme is:
Fast
Or, for our Northern comrades, 'fast'.
Will the tunes rocket along at 300bpm, or will they be about being fast? Or a secret third option. Listen in to find out.

The tunes played on this week's show, in case I zipped by too fast and the doppler effect meant you couldn't understand me.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist, our theme will be:
Tin
Troggie and I will be celebrating ten years of marriage on the 9th of April, and for that I can only apologise to them. But they knew what they were getting into before, so it's not entirely my fault.
Anyway, the tenth anniversary is traditionally 'tin', presumably because it's sponsored by Big Tin and Cornwall. And this radio show will be my present to Troggie. My generosity knows no bounds.
So fling your suggestions at me using #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and make Troggie's day as wonderful as possible.

@DJDarren What a theme. This has stretched my capabilities somewhat, but I have persevered, for love.
Christopher Tin and the Soweto Gospel Choir - Baba Yetu (aka the GLORIOUS theme for Civilization IV)
Fightstar - Paint Your Target (paint comes in tins!)
ATARASHII GAKKO! - Pineapple Kryptonite (pineapple also comes in tins!)
Ridiculous k-pop suggestion:
Jin - Super Tuna (Jin from global superstars BTS singing a sub-two-minute song about tuna, which of course comes in tins!)
I think you've defeated Papa Steph, but I may update later.
@mothninja @DJDarren It's an absolutely gorgeous song! Won a Grammy, even. I could have sat on that title screen for hours. There's a terrific recording on YouTube from Cadogan Hall:
@astronomerritt just magnificent. Might have teared up a little bit. This should be the global national anthem 💚
@DJDarren All right, Papa Steph has, with a sense of both triumph and relief, suggested:
Suzi Quatro - Can The Can
DJDarren
Steph (crisis version)
Anna
Nick
Lulu Helle
