Behold, #ThePlaylist
And this week, a guest theme, courtesy of @Nickiquote, who wants to hear the world’s finest:
Car Wash Songs
And I do believe he’ll be very happy with what you’ve suggested. Will it be two hours of just that one song? Listen in and find out.

The tunes played this week, in case you couldn't hear my links over the noise of the air dryer that's somehow louder than a jet engine, but also almost completely ineffective.
This week's car wash attendents, lazily slopping a bit of soap on your alloys:

May they be promoted to the one who gets to use that fancy little pump bottle to lazily slop some form of nameless liquid on the windscreen instead.

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist
I'm not one for #TheSports, but many of you are, so I feel it's only fair that we celebrate the #WorldCup. With that in mind, next week's theme is:
Morally Bankrupt
An easy one, I feel! So let me know *your* suggestions for tunes that fit the theme using #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and together we'll build the perfect accompaniment to #TheSports.

@DJDarren Getting Papa Irish’s suggestions in first as I am at a Tesco: mine will follow later.
Green Day - American Idiot
Levellers - What A Beautiful Day (check the lyrics for the relevance)
Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
Also, as a potential bed, he suggests the theme to the TV show Trumpton.
His politics may be apparent. #ThePlaylistSuggestion
@DJDarren This may surprise people who are not familiar with South Korean politics, but there’s actually a LOT of k-pop songs about corruption and moral bankruptcy, especially from BTS’s much cooler back catalogue from back before they did bullshit fluff music for Westerners. I had trouble narrowing it down.
BTS - Baepsae (The lyrics are based on a Korean idiom, but essentially this song is about socioeconomic inequality and about how those who have privilege and advantages shit on those who don’t. The English title is Silver Spoon, which sums it up.)
Girls’ Generation - Into The New World (So this isn’t about moral bankruptcy, but: in the recent protests in South Korea against the extremely corrupt coup-attempting shitheel president Yoon Suk-yeol, protesters brought their k-pop lightsticks and sang along to k-pop tunes. Including this one, which is a huge protest song in South Korea and is also often featured in Pride parades.)
And now for something completely different:
Rage Against The Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire (or Killing In The Name Of, or Wake Up, or Bulls on Parade, or literally any Rage song ever, DJ’s choice)
@astronomerritt @DJDarren anything by RATM works for me any day of the week!
“Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one”
Fuck yeah.
@DJDarren a 2am suggestion from Papa Irish:
XTC - Making Plans For Nigel
Because of Farage. My dad is not a fan.
@astronomerritt It's cool, I have my own and I'm happy to use it.
He'll *wish* he was being battered with milkshakes.
