Pause and Play it Forward

This episode is our last in Season 1 so we looked at previous albums we've recommended to each other, and chose one each.

We revisited Lil Nas X - Montero and Self Esteem - Prioritise Pleasure. What a joy to talk about them again!

Plus our Top 5 is a compilation of Christmas songs that don't mention Christmas. Can you think of many?

This episode we talked about the new Damon Albarn album - The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows, and discovered that Nicola still has her forever crush on Damon Albarn. We also listened to Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine - Anything for You, and we got to go back to the 80s for a bit.

We also compiled a Top Five about numbers - what would your top 5 songs featuring numbers be?

We listened to the iconic Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna (don't get us started on the AMAZING boots she is wearing on the album cover) and Lewis Taylor - Lewis II, a brilliant album recommended by one of our listeners, Andy. Thanks Andy!

Top 5 theme was songs which feature "Talking on the Phone".

We used to chat on the phone to our mates a lot back in the day, but now we're more likely to send a message. So, we were feeling a bit nostalgic for the days when we would chat to our friends' parents before they called them to the landline.

This week in Music Club we listened to Medicine 4 My Pain by Lynden David Hall and Kate Nash - Made of Bricks. For the first time so far in the history of Pause and Play it Forward we were both familiar with both of the albums.

Our Top Five this week was TV Themes. Saying it once more for Nicola's benefit: TV Themes (you'll understand when you listen)

This week in Music Club we listened to one of Nicola's favourites; Foo Fighters - There's Nothing Left to Lose. It's no secret that Nicola is a massive fan and shared a couple of live gig stories.

Rosie chose an album by Bess Atwell - Already, Always - after hearing one of the album's tracks and loving it.

Our Top Five this week was filled with songs about the dark or darkness. Can you think of any?

Music Club this week featured Self Esteem's new album Prioritise Pleasure and what a brilliant album it was. Talking of brilliant albums, we also listened to the Pet Shop Boys first album - Please. Both of us had so much to say about both albums.

And in our Top 5 this week, we came up with songs that days of the week in them, as suggested by Jo, one of our lovely listeners. Can you think of any?

We worshipped at the altar of Dolly Parton this week, listening to her amazing album from 1968 - Just Because I'm A Woman. Our other Music Club album was Dreamland by Glass Animals - which was different to Dolly, but in a good way!

Sparklers at the ready! If you are planning some celebrations for November 5th then we have the perfect soundtrack for you - our Top Five was selected in celebration of Bonfire night and the tracks are related to fire and fireworks.

It's, literally, fire.

We went back to 1963 this week in Music Club, via the 1988 film 'Hairspray'. We dreamt of being on the Corny Collins show and dancing to the music on the soundtrack. We also listened a lot to BADBADNOTGOOD's latest album 'Talk Memory' which has been getting some excellent reviews.

With Halloween just around the corner our Top 5 theme for this episode is spooky songs from spooky films. Did we get the ones you would have chosen? Let us know any we missed out!
