Jazzy Poet TV

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 23:00:00 GMT

Hello, friends!

It's been a little while, but it's a warmer than ever welcome to Episode 20 of Pause and Play it Forward from your hosts, Nicola and Rosie. It's fantastic to have you with us!

For Music Club this week we listened to legendary soul singer Bobby Womack's The Poet II (featuring the Godmother of Soul, Patti LaBelle) and treated ourselves to Volume 1 of American rapper and producer Guru's experimental series, Jazzmatazz.

After rummaging around the back of the sofa and finally finding the remote, we compiled a Top Five of tracks about Television. With a choice of artists that includes Blur, Gil Scott-Heron and IDLES you definitely will not want to switch off.

It's very likely our music memories and interests match yours. So please, pull up a chair or pop in your headphones and join in the chat with us.

Listen, like, subscribe, tell your mates, sing the bit of the song where you don't know the words or dance like everyone is actually watching - we'd really appreciate your support.

All the songs we talk about can be found on the Spotify playlist for this week here.

We're always up for suggestions for future Music Club albums or Top Five themes.

It's very likely that our music memories and interests match yours. So please, pull up a chair or pop in your headphones and join in the chat with us.

Hi, and a very sparkly welcome to Episode 16 of Pause and Play it Forward. We're Nicola and Rosie; two busy women with a huge passion for music that we love sharing.

For Music Club this week we gave our disco balls a dust off and hit the dance floor with Kylie Minogue's Fever, and took a thrilling trip back to the 1990s with Depeche Mode's Violator. Listen in to find out what we thought and the memories both albums conjured up.

Our Top Five theme this week was 'Queen' and we came up with five tracks that were most definitely fit for a Queen (or King or Prince etc) and would get the royal approval.

Welcome to Episode 10!

For Music Club, we listened to The Snuts' W.L. and Lukas Nelson and Promise of The Real's self-titled album.

We talked crushes, operating on Texas Time and how music gets under your skin and into your soul in the most beautiful way.

Our Top Five theme was age and, if we may say so ourselves, we've come up with classic tracks that span the decades and certainly won't fade with time. Like us, they will be forever young :)

Join us for Episode 9 as we talk about a couple of albums and compile a top 5 on a theme. Interested? Then listen away, friends!

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 08:00:00 GMT

Welcome friends and join us as we PAPIF our way through 2 albums and a Top 5 on a theme. New listeners can expect a spoonful of laughter, a sprinkling of stories and a tablespoon of trivia (this week's top 5 theme is cooking, can you tell?!)

We start with Music Club - a bit like book club but with albums - this week we listened to LA based Moonchild and their latest album Starfruit (those collaborations!) and the queen of hip hop Soul Mary J Blige's latest album, Good Morning Gorgeous (those collaborations AGAIN!). Find out what we think and whether you should listen to these albums by pressing play on this episode.

Hey, good looking! Our Top 5 this week is all about cooking, so we rustled up a top 5 of scrumptious morsels for you to feast on. Check out the top 5 and all the songs we mention in the episode on our Spotify playlist here.

Amber Blackouts, Baby

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 08:00:00 GMT

Pull up a chair and join us as we give a light-hearted review of a couple of albums and compile a Top 5 on a theme. Plus loads of laughter, stories and facts (we love a bit of trivia!)

We start with Music Club - a bit like book club but less wine (and with albums) this week we listened to Hope Downs by Melbourne band Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever and a new album called Three Dimensions Deep from Amber Marks, a soulful US-based songstress. Find out what we think and whether you should listen to these albums by pressing play on this episode.

Our Top 5 this week is obsessed with babies. More to the point, songs with baby in the lyrics and unsurprisingly there are loads - we reckon about 13 million will spring to mind immediately for you. We have given birth to (get it?) the ultimate top 5 and it doesn't need its nappy changing.

Wondering whether or not to listen to The Weeknd - Dawn FM? We've listened to it for this episode's Music Club (spoiler alert - we would say YESYESYES - LISTEN!) and we also listened to the 2009 album from Owl City called Ocean Eyes which features the beautiful song Fireflies.

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 08:00:00 GMT

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.

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 08:00:00 GMT

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.

18: Just a Glass Bonfire

Thu, 04 Nov 2021 08:00:00 GMT

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.

17: Spooky Hairspray Memory

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 08:00:00 GMT

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.

15. Stones Bond X

Fri, 15 Oct 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Music Club this week featured Hannah Wicklund & The Steppin Stones self-titled album and Lil Nas X - Montero. Different albums, but it's OK to have a huge range of music loves and feel totally current for a change, instead of feeling like an overscheduled mum.

Our Top 5 was all about 007 - we gave ourselves a licence to indulge in Bond themes and came up with a final top 5. Find out what they were by listening to Episode 15.

14. Nevermind Precious Policewoman

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Nicola's pick for Music Club this week was one of her favourites EVER: Nevermind by Nirvana. It reminded her of a time in her life when she did a lot of stomping. Rosie suggested Joan as Police Woman - Cover 2 (although Rosie kept calling it Covers 2 - her kids would be so ashamed if they were to listen). What do you think of these two albums?

Our Top 5 theme was precious metals and what a treasure trove we found! We know we missed loads so please let us know any you would like to include in the Spotify playlist for this episode.

12: Eyes Calling Sunbeams

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 08:00:00 GMT

For this week's Music Club, The Clash - London calling was a delight to listen to - and very different to our other (equally brilliant) album this week, Arlo Parks - Collapsed in Sunbeams.

Our Top 5 theme was 'Eyes', suggested by one of our lovely listeners. What fun we had listening with our eyes - although we didn't sing a rainbow (iykyk)! Please let us know any we have missed.

11: Jealous Yellow Orchestra

Thu, 16 Sep 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Electric Light Orchestra dominated Music Club this week with one of their best of albums: All Over The World. Both of us felt like it fed our soul and filled us with joy.

The other album we listened to was Yellow by Emma-Jean Thackray which we think lost out a little bit because of our affection for ELO.

Our Top 5 theme was Jealousy. We were asked to compile this by Rosie's daughter Libby, whose current favourite song is about being jealous - and it was a cracker! We know we have missed loads so if you can think of any please do let us know!

In Music Club this week were the amazing albums Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen and Massive Attack - Blue Lines. Find out what we thought of these albums by listening!

Our Top 5 theme was mirrors, even though we rarely have time to take a look in one before the school run or that Zoom call. It was tricky! We think we probably missed loads so please let us know what you would have chosen.

9: Speed Nine Home

Thu, 02 Sep 2021 08:00:00 GMT

We loved listening to Sault - Nine and Leon Bridges - Coming Home in Music Club this week and we had a blast talking about all the great music on these albums!

Moving at speed was our Top 5 theme, inspired by Kate Bush's amazing song 'Running up that Hill' and also we thought it was a description of how (as working mums) we live our lives - always rushing! Listen to find out what our final Top 5 was - it was easier this week as we had 2 - yes 2! - songs the same.

If you fancy listening to this episode you are in for a treat! Music Club features Delta Kream, and album from this year by the Black Keys and we go back to 2007 for an album by Cherry Ghost that didn't get as much praise at the time as it deserves called Thirst for romance.

Our Top 5 theme is weather but we had too many so limited it to songs just about the rain or the sun - or both! General weather is up our sleeves for another episode...
