Annie My Heartbeat

PLAYLIST: 20 At 20: Jonathan Wright

To celebrate 20 years of God Is In The TV, I’ve picked 20 of my favourite songs since 2003 that have meant a lot to me. I’ve tried not to overthink it and get stressed about artists I didn’t have room for (please forgive me The Cardigans, Charli XCX, Hatchie, Art Brut, Phoenix, Erykah Badu, Kylie, The Knife, Cut Copy, Grimes, Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent, The Juan Maclean, Wolf Alice etc).

Congratulations to Bill Cummings and rest of the GIITTZ team for reaching this milestone. Here’s to 20 more years!
