Help With "Ben Cooper" Radio Show Playlist

Hi all,

I'm a DJ for Radio Free Minturn in Minturn, Colorado, and I'm planning a 3-hour show on Wed Feb 27, 10 am to 1 pm, Mountain Time, exclusively showcasing Ben Cooper's music.

I want the show to be a "Best Of" of Ben's music that he's released under all his projects; not a compilation per se (i.e. no "rare tracks", lousy recordings, etc.)

I've come up with a playlist of what I consider his "best"; and would love your feedback. Especially if you think I've really missed a representative track.

I'm also wondering if you think I should play these in order by release date, or just shuffle the whole thing.

Thanks for taking a look!

Wow, you got all my favorites. I'm especially happy about Fog in The House of Lightbulbs and Lullaby. Maybe add Dotted Lines, that's a great one for radio.

As for the order of them, I think you should shuffle them to assure an even distribution between projects. But I'm not a DJ, so my opinion isn't based off any professional experience.

Great list, but I would have added Sad Business from Patients. That may not be really objective but in my opinion this song is really gorgeous.

And I also think you should shuffle them.

No worries. My pleasure. Happy birthday! And hope you'll stop in Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins/Breckenridge if you have some kind of US tour later this year ...

Thanks for the input ... Will add "Dotted Lines" near the end of the show. And I've already shuffled the playlist based everyone's feedback.
