Medley of Bee Gee Hits -- the Bee Gees
there are few bands that in six minutes with just 2 guitars and three voices could express so many beautiful hit songs. the bee gees were one of the greatest groups of all time and along with abba and the beatles brought some of the most beautiful songs to the most people in the world.

hot chip - no fit state (live@glastonbury'07)
this summer while working on my show i listened alot to this mix will made me which included this performance. he is friends with a member of this band and asked him why he broke into temptation near the end. he said that since the bulk of the song is inspired by temptation it seemed right to give it its due. i suggested to will that perhaps when you play to 80000 people at glastonbury you cant help but feel like new order and so one of their songs just comes out of your fingertips.
