Tracklist Formatting - Need Input

I've decided to move all the old Radioactivity tracklists over to this blog, and start posting new ones here from now on. Also, I will begin hosting archives of the show, so if you missed the show one week, you can download it and listen later. In preparation for this transition, I've been thinking about changing the format of my tracklists. Here is the format I currently use:

01. "Kassiande" - Gorge - Freerange Records
02. "Till The Dawn" (MagBeat Remix) - D-Reflection - Total House
----- Flying Lotus "LA EP 2x3" Feature -----
03. "Infinitum" (Quarta 330 Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
04. "Grapesicles" (Samiyam Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
----------------------------------------------
05. "Gutter Music" - Starkey - Planet Mu
06. "Don't Mess About" - Crissy Criss - Sludge
07. "Pissed Off" - Kromestar - Dubstar
08. "Something Else" - Nero - Z Audio [requested]
09. "Sabacco" - Quarta 330 - Hyperdub
10. "Spliff Dub" (Rustie Remix) - Zomby - Hyperdub

Artists are in bold, request markers in italic, special segments in italics and set off in dash-lines (though special segments are rare), and numbers one through nine as 01-09 to match the space of double digit numbers.

The main thing I want to emphasize is the artist's name. I want to make it stand out, but I almost wonder if bold is too much. One option I was thinking of is actually making the artist's name into a link to the artist's website/myspace, like so:

01. "Kassiande" - Gorge - Freerange Records
02. "Till The Dawn" (MagBeat Remix) - D-Reflection - Total House
----- Flying Lotus "LA EP 2x3" Feature -----
03. "Infinitum" (Quarta 330 Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
04. "Grapesicles" (Samiyam Remix) - Flying Lotus - Warp Records
----------------------------------------------
05. "Gutter Music" - Starkey - Planet Mu
06. "Don't Mess About" - Crissy Criss - Sludge
07. "Pissed Off" - Kromestar - Dubstar
08. "Something Else" - Nero - Z Audio [requested]
09. "Sabacco" - Quarta 330 - Hyperdub
10. "Spliff Dub" (Rustie Remix) - Zomby - Hyperdub

I'm still not sure though... what do you think? Any suggested changes? I'm open to anything. A few more things that may be subject to change: quotes around the title, hyphens as dividers, order of elements, & linking record labels. Feel free to comment and give me suggestions!
