The tunes played this week, in case you couldn't hear me over the sound of all these bloody tin miners who've taken over my studio.

#ThePlaylist

This week's Tin Men, though every one of them has a heart. A dangerously enlarged heart, in fact.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist our theme will be:

ONE HUNDRED

Because, somehow, despite EVERYONE'S better judgement, we've still managed to wring one hundred weeks out of this nonsense. Which says more for my endless desire to be relevant than anything else.

ANYWAY, sling your songs about one hundred this way, using #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and we'll celebrate one hundred weeks of this stupid shit.

@DJDarren @Nickiquote can we all just have a moment, please?

@WiteWulf @Nickiquote In private, or...

Nick 9h ago

@DJDarren It’s all very evocative of my feelings at the time. Proust’s Wener.

Roy 7h ago

@Nickiquote
That is a great, thanks for introducing me to a new song and band!
@DJDarren

Sjoerd 9h ago

@DJDarren my #hiphop #thePlaylistSuggestion for the theme One Hundred is MF DOOM’s Rhymes Like Dimes, on behalf of its sampling of Quincy Jones’ One Hundred Ways

bonus suggestion: Tom Waits’ Big Face Money - which is also a #hiphop suggestion, as big face is originally hiphop slang for a 100 dollar bill, on behalf of its 1996 redesign with a larger portrait of Benjamin Franklin. at 38 seconds, it would also go for your short song episode.

Sjoerd 7h ago

@DJDarren Big Face Money also qualifies as #5amFaceMelter #thePlaylistSuggestion (double points for having face in the title) but you’d have to time the episode extremely precisely

Big Vimto 9h ago

Kyuss - 100°
Crystal Waters - 100% Pure Love

@bigvimto It's been a good while since you brought the Kyuss.

MrAndrewD 7h ago

@DJDarren @bigvimto That Crystal Waters track is an absolute banger!

Sheepnik 9h ago

@DJDarren 100 Ways To Kill A Love - Power of Dreams
The Hundred Song - Flanders and Swann
Sidestepper - Sidestepper (on the album More Grip, and suggested because it is exactly 100 seconds long)

Sheepnik 8h ago

@DJDarren And for a bed, something that was released 100 years ago:

Sidewalk Blues - Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers (though maybe don't play the first few seconds of dialogue)

RolloTreadway 9h ago

@DJDarren #ThePlaylistSuggestion
Lord Kitchener - The Denis Compton Calypso
(because 100s are important in cricket, and Compton was one of 25 batsmen who scored a hundred hundreds in their career)

Belle & Sebastian - A Century of Fakers
or
Belle & Sebastian - A Century of Elvis

Scott Walker - 30 Century Man

Haircut 100 - Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)

Bed suggestions:
Lara Somogyi - hundred00

Mamman Sani - Five Hundred Miles (which is not the Proclaimers song, but is a Nigerien electronica cover of the Peter, Paul & Mary song)

(I did think of suggesting the Proclaimers song, by the way, but it's 500 Miles rather than Five Hundred Miles, and the latter contains the word Hundred whereas the former does not)

RolloTreadway 9h ago

@DJDarren Ah sod it. You know what? I am suggesting I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers because a) it repeatedly says the word hundred, and b) it's great, and c) the Reid brothers are fine upstanding lads. #ThePlaylistSuggestion

@RolloTreadway I did wonder whether there'd be any calypso songs about scoring a century, and you haven't disappointed.

@RolloTreadway I could play exactly 1/5 of 500 Miles.

Pete 9h ago

@DJDarren Toto’s ‘Africa’ because 🎶 “There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do” #ThePlaylistSuggestion

#ThePlaylistSuggestion going to limit myself to just one suggestion, but it's a cracker!

The Golden Horde - 100 Boys

The Golden Horde: '100 Boys'

Steph (crisis version)8h ago

@DJDarren Pursued by the black dog today so missed the show, alas. Nevertheless I come with suggestions:

The Cure - One Hundred Years
Levellers - 100 Years of Solitude
Bad Religion - 21st Century (Digital Boy)

Inevitable k-pop suggestion:

BTS - 21st Century Girl

From Papa Steph:

Haircut 100 - Fantastic Day

Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)7h ago

@astronomerritt @DJDarren

Came to say One Hundred Years by The Cure, rather pleased that I'm not the only one.

DJDarren 1h ago

@astronomerritt Curse that hound. The one dog that's no good boy.

Hope you feel better soon x

Younger teen was listening with me when you announced next week's theme. She immediately suggested
100 Digits of Pi by AsapScience
https://youtu.be/3HRkKznJoZA
It's pretty catchy and shorter than I expected. 🙂

@DJDarren In #AusMusic circles, mention 100 and everyone will talk about the #hottest100 , a radio poll of the hottest 100 songs (normally for the last year, with exceptions) run by Triple J, a government run youth station which kind of mashes the sound of BBC 1 / 6 Music together. It's a big poll with 3.2million votes in 2019.

(Triple J Hottest 100 - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_J_Hottest_100)

Some of the best Australian songs to top the poll

One Crowded Hour - Augie March. (#1 2006) Just a beautiful magical song which builds and builds. My definite choice.

Believe - DMA's (#1 of "Like a version" 2023)

No Aphrodisiac - The Whitlams (#1 1997)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qi7SlM1eDk

Riptide - Vance Joy (#1 2013)

@DJDarren Since Sale of the Century went early, I'll offer anything from Idlewild's second album, 100 Broken Windows. Actually It's Darkness or Little Discourage would do nicely.
