Playlist 18.09.09

Stuart Bailie | 15:28 UK time, Saturday, 19 September 2009

As you may have heard, I'm moving from the Friday night radio slot to Monday evenings. The last Friday is October 2. I still kick off at 10pm and the hope is that after ten years of entertaining the weekenders, I get to relax a little myself. I'll miss the Friday mixture of euphoria and mild fatigue, and in that frame of mind some special musical tones are invoked.

Take last night when I pulled out 'Nina Simone' by Tom Russell. It's a song about the descent into darkness and the blazing assurance that no matter how bad the journey gets, the voice of Nina will be there to guide you. Almost on a whim, I followed with Dr Simone (as I was once ordered to address her) singing 'I Loves You Porgy'. I don't know about you lot, but it blew my bones. I just hope the same principle will export to a Monday, straight after my old pals at Across The Line.
