Behold this week's edition of #ThePlaylist, where our theme is:

Accents

This week we're taking a trip around the world of accents - both linguistically and designerly. You won't hear a single generic mid-Atlantic voice in this show. Apart from that one tune. Oh, and that other one.

Oh, and judging by the URL, I very much regret trying to be clever with the name...

NEXT WEEK ON #ThePlaylist, your theme is:

Fast

Or, for our Northern comrades, 'fast'.

Will the tunes rocket along at 300bpm, or will they be about being fast? Or a secret third option. It's entirely up to you!

Fling your ideas this way using #ThePlaylistSuggestion, and together we'll build another splendid radio show.

Datemi un benzinaio (Live version 2003) - Daniele Silvestri
...because there honestly aren't enough banging rock songs about searching for a petrol station while speeding down a rainy slippery motorway at 100km/h on a Saturday night with the headlights failing and the motor making funny noises :)

Run To The Hills - Iron Maiden

From the Top Gun soundtrack ("I feel the need, the need for speed"), Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins

A less-serious suggestion, mainly because I don't love it as a piece of music, but feel like it needs mentioning because iirc it holds the record for highest bpm of a released single:
Thousand - Moby
