I'd say no to those as they are more meteorological. Let's just stick with morning, midday/noon, afternoon, evening, midnight and any specific clock time.
If that's what you've decided I still think it would be helpful to amend the original nom?
Bringing forward to current page and adding the next Wildcard round: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. He tried auctioning this unique item and got zero bids! - Tim https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/thread...
Theme 267 - Great instrumental breaks (must be within a "song") - SussexWelsh
Theme 268 - Let's Stick Together; any song title with a word which references a method of sticking one thing to another (join/t, glue, mortar, tie/d, bond, weld, etc ad infinitum) - Brass Neck
Theme 269 - "In The Mood For A Moog" - Songs featuring the Moog synth - theDuke
Theme 270 - "The Happy Organ" - Tracks featuring an organ, the keyboard instrument, of any type. - KJS
Theme 271 - "It's Raining Cats & Dogs" - song titles containing the word(s) cat(s) or dog(s) (or both): state your allegiance if you wish ;-) - Helen
Theme 272 - Old King Cole - songs written by Cole Porter, performed by anyone you like (there are hundreds of them: incomplete list on Wikipedia, examples at Red Hot + Blue) - Gordon
Theme 273 - Get laid - song titles with any form of floor covering eg carpet, tiles, rug, mats, laminate (should be loads of songs about the latter), etc - Brass Neck
Theme 274 - My heroes have always been cowboys, And they still are, it seems... (take it away Willie) - give us a cowboy song you like, bring out your Roys, your Texs and your Genes, your Frankies and Martys, the Saturday-morning serials, or maybe a film or TV theme or soundtrack, any song that has you tilting your hat back and winding up your lasso - Val
Theme 275 - Give me the time of day: Any song title which includes a time of day - Fishy Jim

I do apologise if I have offended anyone by making name assumptions, or if I have missed off any regular participants. Can't remember Brass or SW's real names if I ever knew them & Sera's will forever remain a mystery 😁
Have I missed anyone?

Looks fine to me. I can even think of ones for both Sera and 69 though Tech's a bit dodgy .......... but we still love 'im.

Sorry, don't think I'll bother - I can't see that adding it will widen the scope & give people more songs or artists to choose from! ;-)
I will add Timothy though, I forgot yesterday. Unless Tim is short for Timantha, Timberly or ummmm Timothea?

Hi Tim, your theme nom link 266 isn’t working for me and as you know I’ll need all the help I can get when the themes start again, perhaps you can have a look and choose another one, please. 😂

A few points...
No. 8 is a 7" single rather than an album. On this, there is a YT video which comes up when you look for this, but which has got the beginning of the track lopped off for unknown reasons. It should start with a few seconds of an R&B tune, not with the reggae riddim.
No. 78 the title of this album is Crying Demons
No. 92 is a 4 track 12" single
No. 93 should be Oliver In The Overworld (there are two albums by this title. The Freddie one, which is the one here, and a general soundtrack one, which is not)
No. 100 as mentioned previously, Merzcar is a copy of Merzbow's album 'Noisembryo' hot-wired into a written-off Mercedes, so it turns on when the ignition is turned on. So, Noisembryo is what to search for.

At my Liverpool grammar school, our Welsh music teacher insisted we learn 'Land Of My Fathers', 'David of the White Rock', 'Men of Harlech' and some Schubert songs, all in Welsh. Hardly appealing to teenage girls, specially from ancient Mr Jones.

so, can we ban pink floyd from this one, duke?
I think "because they're pink floyd" might be an answer that Tech would immediately think of.
""because they're pink floyd""i'm thinking about that dreary pompeii thing, y'know the one where after the first 8 hours you're praying for a repeat volcano eruption!
Looks like a difficult ask to me Duke. Just tried to search for a list but got (non-live) albums recorded in strange places? Still, yours might be the only nom and then you'd win ..... unless nobody voted and you can't vote for your own!
There's probably more than you might think. The trouble is whether there's footage of some of them - such as the numerous times when members of Hawkwind and the Pink Fairies played for free on a flatbed lorry outside festivals circa 1970
It might be a stretch to find suitable noms/links for this theme. I have seen some including that pompeii one. One might have to post the link for an entire concert vid, and just state the time stamp for the song nominated...and do it that way. I'll leave it for now until we get closer to the time, and see what folks have or have not found by then. If it's a no goer, then i'll remove it or change it.
