So lock your dial and rip that knob right off.

Here's this week's production assistants. They all worked hard, but there's no money in professional radio so they won't get paid. Nor will we offer them a job.

NEXT MONDAY ON #ThePlaylist...

Keeping it pretty straightforward for next week, when the theme will be...

heavy

Not necessarily metal (though I'm not averse), but whatever the word heavy conjures in your mind.

I will say though; I'll be ignoring anything fatphobic.

Have at it, Champions!

@DJDarren @labr Ok I'm straight in with my first, which is

'If You Don't Want Me To Destroy You' by Super Furry Animals.

The chorus has relevance to the theme. More to follow.

@DJDarren @labr

Big Bad Wolf - The Heavy (literal interpretation of your theme)

Stranded - Gojira (just plain heavy, with a riff that lives in my head)

@DJDarren @labr

I won’t suggest the first thing that springs to mind, which is something very heavy by Sunn O))), but the second thing is The Weight by The Band. And there are covers of it by Aretha Franklin and Weezer.

@DJDarren my kneejerk #theplaylistsuggestion is:

The Flaming Lips - Waiting For A Superman

More in due course as I give it some consideration

@DJDarren I mean, you could also have A Spoonful Weighs A Ton from the same album, but …Superman is such a lovely, lovely song

@DJDarren @labr

The only Kyuss song I can think of has a title that might be considered fatphobic but as usual the lyrical content is completely unrelated. Let me know if it's not suitable and I'll pick something else. It's also pretty heavy in and of itself (obviously)

Kyuss - Fatso Forgotso Phase II (Flip The Phase)

Right then!

🎤 Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard

🎶 Young Fathers - I Saw (From the album Heavy Heavy)

💵 Eels - Sixteen Tons (live on KCRW)

📦 REM - The Lifting

🔫 Public Enemy - Miuzi Weighs A Ton

🏋️ Gang Starr - Who's Gonna Take The Weight

👶 Salt-N-Pepa - Push It

🌞 Steve & Eydie - Black Hole Sun

A few covers and some repeated/recall artists or songs from recent Playlists in there, but I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash!

@DJDarren @labr This may be a little off the rail but I immediately thought of Boogie Down Bronx by Man Parrish. That electric piano thuds out beats like an electronic trebuchet.
