This week we conclude our battle of the progressive, modern female recording artists by lavishing praise on the 2019's 'Cuz I Love You' by Lizzo. And we're in a much more grown up and sensible mood this week. I promise. Well... sort of.
As we talk through the album we focus on Lizzo's positive messages on body image, sexual orientation and self-love. (No, not that sort of self love. Grow up.) We also talk about the musical variety and diversity within what is a short old album, and the range of people who influenced the album's sound - from Prince and Aretha Franklin to Missy Elliott and more. We also consider if Lizzo has written the sexiest song of all time...
In the latest in our 'video killed the radio star' feature we look at how The Strokes faired in a baseball game against a bunch of extras from 'I, Robot' and discuss whether baseball or cricket have suffered the most undignified sporting controversies.
Plus in amongst all that we have our usual ephemera, whimsy and general arsing about. Including:
- A chat about wood stain commercials that frankly goes on for far too long;
- Explaining the meaning of the word 'nodder' to anyone not from the North West of England; and
- Kev makes a truly shocking choice with his scoring of the two albums. Honestly. talk about bad takes...
Finally we reveal which two albums will be the next to enter the ring of death.
This. Is. ABLUM CLASH!!
