Just catching up on the playlists for the last few shows – the last two shows were repeats because of Christmas time busy-ness, but now things are all back on track for Sweet Oblivion in 2010, have no fear...
On 2nd December I started off crazy with some hip hop, and then got a bit mellow, ending on what is one of the greatest jazz tunes ever, Miles Davis’s ‘So What’. It’s so great to get to play a huge range of music on the show, there’s nothing like rooting through records and just going for what feels ‘right’. The full playlists are after the jump.
Subtle – The Mercury Craze – ‘For Hero, For Fool’ (Anticon)
Plastic Little – Not a Thug – ‘Welcome to the Jang House’ (Halftime)
Arabian Prince – Innovative Life – ‘Innovative Life’ (Stones Throw)
