Get into the Olympic spirit

We’re inviting listeners to suggest Olympic-themed tracks to play in a Bradford Beat special ahead of London 2012.

Anything to do with torches, medals, podiums, jumping and throwing is the kind of idea we’re after. So far, submissions include Relay by The Who and Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.

The track listing for last week’s show was:

Alt-J – Tessellate
Happy Mondays – Kinky Afro
handmadehands – Words That Mean Nothing
I Like Trains – Mnemosyne
Kate Bush – Running up That Hill
Tinfoil Sojourns – Undeterred
White Rabbits – Temporary
Yo El Rey – And One For The Doctor
Ting Tings – Hit Me Down Sonny
The Chevin – Champion
Polica – Dark Star
Lone Wolf – Swan of Meander
Whipping Boy – No One Takes Prisoners Any More
