play list - 09/10/2009

i started the show today with the EuroHit 40. this is a countdown of the top 40 hits in europe that is put together once a month by radio nederlands. they don't play each song in full, they pick select songs to play in one hour and just list the others. the show reminds me of when i was a kid and used to plan every sunday to listen to casey casem's top 40 countdown and i kept a log book of the top 10 each week (i guess i started as a music geek very early on). i would get so annoyed that i had to listen to the terrible song "sailing" by christopher cross each week when it was near and at number one for so long. and speaking of terrible songs, i usually don't play the whole hour of euro hit 40 because it can be packed with terrible songs from the united states. but this month had only one terrible song (pussycat dolls) and lots of really good ones, so i played the full hour. you can listen to the EuroHit 40 shows and/or download them for free at their web site: http://www.rnw.nl/radio-program-list/2497

after that, played some french-electro, then some electronic-reggae, then regular reggae, then two more form the new cornershop!
