Request Line: The Shining

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

The PRODUCER is seated at the sound board, cheerfully adjusting the various knobs and sliders.  DJ 3000 remains pushed up against the wall, with an “Out of Order” sign hanging from his main console.  

— [door flies open] —

DANIEL JONES enters the room with a rapturous expression on his face. He surveys the room, continuing to grin ecstatically. 

DANIEL JONES: This is it.  This is the place.  The place where I was meant to be.

PRODUCER: Um…hi Daniel.  That’s right, you’re here, right on time.  Thanks for being so prompt.

DANIEL JONES: What is this place?

PRODUCER: Ha ha ha.

DANIEL JONES remains standing, smiling at the PRODUCER until the latter realizes that he’s not joking. 

PRODUCER: It’s…um, it’s a radio station.

DANIEL JONES: Oh, cool, music. I love music. It’s the most wonderful thing.

PRODUCER: Daniel, are you all right?

DANIEL JONES: Ha ha, yeah, man, I’m great.

PRODUCER: [realizes that DANIEL JONES hasn’t blinked the entire time he’s been present] Daniel, are you…are you on drugs?

DANIEL JONES: [enthusiastically] Yeah!

PRODUCER: Oh, jeez.

DANIEL JONES: It’s nice. They’re good drugs.  We’re friends now.

PRODUCER: You and the drugs?

DANIEL JONES: Yes, they’re my friends.

PRODUCER: Are you going to be able to do Request Line?

DANIEL JONES: I can do pretty much anything right now.  I can levitate.  You want to see me levitate?

PRODUCER: Um…maybe later.  So, uh, what drugs did you take, anyways?

DANIEL JONES: Yes, there were some drugs and I took them.

PRODUCER: No, I mean, uh, what specific drugs did you take?

DANIEL JONES: Yes, those ones.

PRODUCER: So, you took a lot of drugs.

DANIEL JONES: Yes, all of the drugs that were there.  They’re with me now.  They’re a part of me.

PRODUCER: Oh boy.  Okay, well, this should be interesting.  Let’s get you into the booth.

DANIEL JONES: Yeah man, booth.  Like, John Wilkes Booth, man.  Cool cat.

PRODUCER: No, I mean the sound booth.  You’re going to go sit down and then we’ll play some records.

DANIEL JONES: Cool, cool.  You know I’m a D.J. myself?

PRODUCER: Daniel…Jones…yeah, you are, aren’t you?

DANIEL JONES: Not just my initials, though.  I make music.  D.J. Delirium is what they call me.

PRODUCER: Who, your teammates?

DANIEL JONES: Yeah.  And the people at Electric Daisy Carnival, and Tomorrowland, and the Psychedelic Circus…

The PRODUCER ushers DANIEL JONES into the recording booth, the settles behind the soundboard.

DANIEL JONES: [as he steps inside] My god it’s full of stars!

PRODUCER: [punches the talkback button] So is that theme for today’s Request Line? Stars?

DANIEL JONES: [settles in behind the desk] No, you’ve already done that.

PRODUCER: Oh, I guess you’re right.  Back in 2016.  I’m impressed that you remember that.

DANIEL JONES: Oh, I’m not remembering it. I can see it happening, right now, here in this room.

PRODUCER: How…?

DANIEL JONES: I can see through time.  DJ 3000 says hi, by the way.  He says he’s still working on getting out of the loop.

PRODUCER: Oh.  Okay.  That’s good to hear.  So in any case, what is the topic for today?

DANIEL JONES: Let’s do songs about things that shine.  Or glow.  And let’s get started with some classic Trance, “Shine” by The Space Brothers.

Today’s theme is: The Shining.  We’re looking for songs about the things that shine, or glow.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l!kEiTd03z” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh. There was no clue last week because I forgot to post the disclaimer, though it didn’t seem to slow anyone down.  Let’s see if we can go big for a second week in a row!

Surprisingly, here’s a Tom Waits song that would be cool to hear in a dive bar.

Did we ever decide whether Win Butler’s a creep? Or do we care?

The last single from Van Hagar, has the chorus of “Shine on!” So it loosely fits the theme

I heard a story about this song that I hope is true. They had been getting feedback from fans in years prior that their music was getting too dark and depressing. So they recorded this. If true I really respect the way you troll the fans boys. Well played.
