Playlist 05.10.09

Blimey, the Monday shift is on. Around 9.45 I was live on ATL with Rigsy, talking up the new show and recalling the highlights of the Panama Kings gig on the Saturday. There was an ISDN link to Radio Foyle where Stephen McCauley was revving up for the midnight handover and was rightly enthused about the idea of a five hour partnership of reasonably hip programmes.

Given the proximity to my final Friday show and a fairly full weekend, it wasn't a lavishly prepared show, but there was still time to digest the best bits of the David Bazan album, to fillet the Susan Enan record and to remember the lovely aspects of Kraftwerk. I felt somewhat jetlagged the next day, but soon the weeks will have a proper rhythm again and the airwaves will sing as before.
