Loveissucide's Afternoon Delight
 

Starting on the 20th of November,I'm gonna be putting up playlists of tracks from the radio show I'm starting on Friday afternoons on Flirt FM 101.3 - Galway's Alternative Radio Station
As regards the music,I'm thinking along fairly straightforward alternative rock and indie pop lines, eg Bright Eyes,Wilco,Belle & Sebastian,XTC,The Fall,Super Furry Animals,St Vincent, with some more out-there and retro stuff thrown in eg Philip Glass.

Any other suggestions for bands I should look into and more recent stuff I should think to include on these playlists?Feedback will be much appreciated.

The shows can be heard here.
