Hello!

Just a quick note to say that this Saturday's HDIF in central London will be
a Smiths special. Every so often we do a night where we play all of a
particular album over the course of the evening - previous nights featured
"Tigermilk", "The Boy With The Arab Strap" and "Pet Sounds" - and this time
it's the turn of the Smiths. I've spent a long time trying to work out which
album we should play, and kept changing my mind again and again as I came up
with reasons for each one. But in the end, I've decided to ignore things
like anniversaries and so on and just make it a purely personal decision. So
on Saturday, I'll be playing all of "The Smiths", throughout the night,
simply because it's my favourite Smiths album.

Now, some of you will remember that we ended the last Phoenix HDIF with
"Reel Around The Fountain" - quite an emotional moment for 3am! So I'll be
starting my selections with the very same song, playing "Reel Around The
Fountain" at 9.30pm sharp. Then the rest of the songs will be played at
various points throughout the night. And before you ask if I'm playing the
UK version of the album (without "This Charming Man" on) or the US version
(with "This Charming Man" on), the answer is...I haven't decided yet. I'll
work it out on the night...!

Indie song of the week: "Bicycle Thieves" by Pale Fountains
Soul song of the week: "Peaches And Cream" by The Ikettes

We're also very pleased to be hosting a guest DJ set from Bonnie And Clyde
from Barcelona's famous Razzmatazz club. They'll be on from 10.30-midnight, as usual.

Hope to see you on Saturday!
Ian
