S4L Radio Show Playlist #15: Black Friday Tunes!

So, today is Black Friday and for the retail world it's a time to role out the bargins and people get to buy stuff they don't really need and certainly in some cases can't really afford. No doubt that the TV news will have stories of riots and fights etc that seem to breakout as a result of people's greed! All of this coming a day after Thanksgiving in the States!

I thought it would be daft to have Black Friday as a sort of theme for this week and we'll see what goodies we come up with.

Listen To The Black Friday Playlist Here:
