"Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?"

This week, we conclude our three part mini-series where we guess the themes of each other's playlists.

James and Will are up to bat, attempting to deduce Tom's theme.

Tom's playlist:

Taste - What’s Going On? Queen - Brighton Rock Steve Vai - Liberty The Byrds - Eight Miles High The Smiths - How Soon is Now? Coldplay - Shiver

"We're definitely getting further away from the answer."

The continuation of a three-part mini-series where we guess the theme of a playlist created by one of the hosts.

This week, Will has created the playlist. James and Tom are asking the questions to identify the theme.

Will's Playlist:

Etran Finatawa - Heeme Tiris - Ma Zein Wadna (Our Beautiful River Valley) Emeka Ogboh - Verbal Drift Low Altitude - South Stack Floating Points - Sea-Watch James Varghese - Juno Fades

"We can talk like normal people still!"

This week, it's the first of our three part mini-series where we guess the themes of each other's playlists.

This time round, James has created a playlist which Tom and Will will question their way through to find the theme.

James' Mystery Playlist

Lord Commander - No Crime, No Law The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil Edwin Starr - War Lou reed - Halloween Parade Rush - Virtuality Coldplay - Politik Paul McCartney - Despite Repeated Warnings
