Across the sea: Holiday playlists UK vs SXSW

As everyone knows, both DJ Ken and myself were vacant from the pill last week, marking the first time in the party's 12+ year history that both its residents were away doing something other than spinning the night.

We're back tonight, and in this week's mailing list -- which you can subscribe to here -- we both listed our holiday playlists. Mine is from SXSW (you may have noticed I was there) and his is from a week carousing in London. Fire walk with me...
