Request for requests

It's only four days until Half My Heart Beats 3, and we're starting to get excited about it. Sorry if the five-week gap since the last night has thrown some of you off - Lynsey said she met some people at the Flying Duck on Saturday night who had come along thinking our night was on. Rest assured that we're out of sequence for this month only, and from December onwards we should be back in the second Saturday of the month slot for the foreseeable future.

The main point of this post is to find out if you've got any requests for Saturday night. We're trying to rejig our playlists this month to hopefully give you something to dance to early on, so any suggestions are welcome. My playlist is coming on nicely, with songs from the new Lucksmiths album and the One Happy Island and Lorimer Sound EPs a certainty! I've also been toying with the idea of doing an Amelia Fletcher triple header - Talulah Gosh, Heavenly and Tender Trap back to back. I don't know about you, but I think that would be awesome. If you'd like to suggest a song by any of those three, do let me know.

Is it too early to give you stats about what we've played after two nights? Probably, but I'm going to anyway. Here are our most-played artists so far:

Equal first (four plays each):
Belle & Sebastian
Camera Obscura
The Hidden Cameras
The Smittens

Equal 2nd (three plays each):
Beat Happening
Felt
Irene
Jens Lekman
The Aislers Set
The Just Joans
The Lucksmiths
Tullycraft

We'll do more blog posts between now and Saturday, so remember to keep checking back.
