Pause and Play it Forward: Recent Episodes
Nicola Greenbrook and Rosie Kendrick
Pause and Play it Forward is a podcast by Nicola Greenbrook and Rosie Kendrick about music — old and new — and how it makes us feel. If you’re a time-stretched music lover in need of a recommendation for what to listen to next - you’re in the right place!
We start with Music Club - like book club but with albums. We review two albums, old or new, one suggested by Nicola and the other by Rosie. Then there's a themed Top 5 - we select five songs each on a chosen theme then whittle it down to an ultimate Top 5 for that week!
Join us for new discoveries, music memories and lots of laughs.
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.
Contact us on our socials with your thoughts about any of the music we feature.
We're always up for suggestions for future Music Club albums or Top Five themes.

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 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.

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.

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.

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?

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 talk about Honey Lingers by Voice of the Beehive and Written and Directed from Black Honey, how the albums make us feel and what we think about them. We ponder on listening to music on a road trip (rather than on the way to swimming lessons) and the lyrics that might have spoken to us when we were younger. Our top 5 theme is alcohol, not drinking songs, but songs with alcohol references in them. We can't believe how many we found! Nicola also mentioned to Rosie about this brilliant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZG82iqP06A&ab_channel=JustinTimberlakeBrasil (performance) - of two alcohol-related songs - by Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton.
