The mix of contemporary and older songs worked very well. You seem to have moved away from older songs (other than TMBG) over the years; I'd like to cast my vote in favor of some more older songs on your future shows. I think it leads to some great (re)discoveries. For example, I never got around to hearing the first Ladytron or Stereolab albums, but after hearing these songs I aim to track them down. And I need to revisit My Bloody Valentine's Isn't Anything. And see if I can find anything by Halou. I don't mean to knock the format of mostly new stuff; it is good to try new things in life. At the same time, in my own life, I've come to the point where I have something like 2,000 albums now and I still keep pursuing new music and hardly making any time for the stuff I know I'll enjoy listening to from my collection. Point is, it's nice to hear some older songs now and again. I guess you have to decide with your show, whether you want it to be a "Here's what's happening in the music scene right now" show or more of a "This is the music I like to listen to" show. And I know that that isn't 100% applicable to your situation, because you do seem to thoroughly enjoy the music you play, so it's not like you're playing it just because.
