The reasons for weirdness aren't always evident from the titles alone (although the exceptions should be obvious), and there's one which you'll never find on discogs; the Merzbow at #100 is actually a written-off Mercedes previously the property of his dutch label boss, with a copy of Merzbow's album "Noisembryo" hardwired into the ignition, so it plays when the car is turned on.

Does Tim really want to be Theme 270 or can he move up to 267?
Val wrote: "Does Tim really want to be Theme 270 or can he move up to 267?"I was leaving a gap for the Summer Cream of rounds, which is what I presumed Duke put those in for.
I took 266 but I was also confused by the gap that had been left. Duke says "Cream of" will 5 rounds, but 266-269 would only allow 4. Who knows?

Hi folks. Right sorry for the confusement. I'd thought that there was still 13 weeks left to go before we get to Sunday 26th June, before the Co2020 rounds were to begin. And thus i thought we still needed a few more new theme nominations, to take us up to that date, hence the empty fields (265-269) for folks to fill in. But I've since realised that i got the wrong month, Sunday 26th actually is in July! It's June the 28th, so there's 9 weeks of themes to play out after my Psychedelic round has concluded.
So..just to sort this out again - I don't bother putting round numbers for Cream of, cos that was never done reviously.
The list should now look like this:

Question for Val...Re: Theme 265 - Right team, hopefully the worst of the virus is over and we're going on a group outing. Let's put together the best-ever playlist for our road trip!
Please can you explain what you are looking for in a nomination for this one? I have no idea what "road trip" music is!
Btw I don't think any of us will be going very far on this jaunt ;-)
Everyone's different (as usual) but I was thinking - some drivers, it's all pedal to the metal so something with a driving (i.e. pounding) beat. Other folk in our mini-bus might like a sing-a-long - so something that everyone knows and can sing/hum along to. But mostly something that is optimistic or provides you with a sense of anticipation. You're going somewhere you want to be, perhaps with people you enjoy being with, so you're a bit revved up, the toe is tapping, the head is nodding in time and you know you're going to have a good time. It would be great if the playlist flowed from one track to the next but that may be asking too much..... And then, of course, there's the return journey. Some one will doubtless have over-imbibed and be slurring a mournful "Danny Boy" down the back!
Mebbes Fathers' Day targeted guff like;https://www.amazon.co.uk/Classic-Road...

Oh yeh, thanks, all my favourites on those ( & tech's too, no doubt)! 😁
One of my worst nightmares - a singalong in a minibus. Sorry, I can feel a headache coming on!
I find as i get older, i prefer something less hectic to listen to whilst on the 'road', not that get to do much of that these days. Road music doesn't have to be adrenaline fueled 'Mad Max' stylee choices, it could be something more sedate...more cruise-a-long music, mibbe?
Whatever floats your boat, as long as you're feeling good.

Hee hee, I was actually thinking that when I was looking at them. I actually own this - don't know why, someone must have given it to me.
'someone must have given it to me'you must have done something real AWFUL to them!

If I see Cliff Richard coming over the horizon in a London bus, I'm putting down the tank traps!

Theme 266 - Freak Out! Uncut magazine's list of 101 "weirdest albums of all time". There's at least one single A-side on the list (step forward 'Scratch'). The reasons for weirdness aren't always evident from the titles alone (although the exceptions should be obvious), and there's one which you'll never find on discogs; the Merzbow at #100 is actually a written-off Mercedes previously the property of his dutch label boss, with a copy of Merzbow's album "Noisembryo" hardwired into the ignition, so it plays when the car is turned on.

Clarification from Brass Neck, please. Does your 'Let's stick together' round refer just to words in the song, or can they be in the title (I know words in the title are usually in the lyrics, but occasionally this isn't the case)?
Also, Tim's link to the list of weirdest albums of all time seems to be dead. Can you find another one?
I've actually got a complete list as there seem to be a couple of balls-ups in at least one of the lists. Will post when it goes live.

Here's another link to Tim's upcoming theme:https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/thread...
It seems to be when you cut and paste, the original link gets truncated and unworkable.
Yes it does, i have to C&P the full link to this thread, every time i post a new round. I'll check Tim's link works when we get to his round.
The link is working fine now. Don't know why it didn't before.

Do you want to make that 'SPECIFIC' time of day? Obviously you want 1 o'clock, etc but presumably midday, midnight, noon would be OK as they're at exact times but not more general ideas like afternoon, day or night, etc?
All are valid, including morning, afternoon and evening, but NOT day or night.
