[theDuke]

Forthcoming Themes:

245. Singer takes it to the break with nominative exclamation - Sera69
246. Funk me! Any song or band name with the word funk or any of its derivatives and misspellings (fonk, funky, etc) in it (doesn't have to be a funk tune, eg James Gang's Funk #49 is anything but. And as for Grand Funk Railroad …..) - Brass Neck
247. Mononymous - song title is a single word boy or girl name (no other words in title pls) - Helen
248. Trains and Boats and Planes (and cars, etc..). Any song title containing a means of transport. Specific makes/brands are excluded - SussexWelsh
249. Your Dennis Hopper Moment - love from tech.
250. "Great TV Show themes" - Choose a song, that was used for a TV show, by an established artist or band. You can use either the track written especially for the show's intro theme itself, or the full original song by the artist/band, if it was edited for the show, whichever. - theDuke
251. 'The Wire's' 100 (+30) Records That Set The World On Fire While No One Was Listening. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/funks/...
Compiled from an internal poll of the magazine's writers, this is a wide ranging eclectic list - mostly albums but including several singles. There should be something for most people. Preferably choose from the original 100, but go to the extra 30 if you can't find anything! - Tim
252. Silent break: Any track where the music stops suddenly, then restarts. - Fishy Jim
253. Deck of cards - Songs that reference playing cards or card games (standard 52 card deck ). - KJS
254. Brush up your Shakespeare - any song or artist that has even the remotest connection with The Bard - could be in part of a lyric, just coincidence with a character's name, etc. - Val
255. Joker - any song referencing joker/joke or any variant thereof - Brass Neck
256. "Psyche me out!" Don ya hippy locks, flares, jesus beards & chuck in a tab of acid or two....and let's float away on some groovy 'shroom loaded magical mystery tour! Any kind of psychedelic music; from the hippy dippy folk, acid rock, psyche rock, thu to stoner, produced from the 1960s to the present day. Brownie points if you can pick a less well known track. Peace & love maan! - theDuke
257. Duets, real or imagined. Standard duets or songs that have been sung as a solo singer mixed with somebody singing the same song to create a duet. - TheFoe

Hello folks,

Hope you all enjoyed the Cream of rounds, and for those that still have some noms left over...you could use one up in the first themes round of 2020, which neatly happens to be the latest wildcard round. Anything goes, especially seldomn heard tracks..but whatever you like essentially.

Noms and links as per usual, thank you.

May you have a uneventfully pleasant week! :)

Brass Neck wrote: "Well spent though, eh? ..."

I watched the Grammys - four hours of my life that I won't get back but you have to do it for the one or two nuggets that you'll never see again. This year's highlight was Gary Clark Jr. and the Roots but I also enjoyed Boyz II Men, Lil Nas X (with Billy Ray Cyrus and others), H.E.R., Demi Lovato, and Alicia Keys accompanied by Brittany Howard. And I was excited to see Black Pumas nominated in the Best New Artist category - they didn't win of course, this was Billy Eilish's year - she swept the board.

[Lez]

Well done, Tech, great track. Thanks to all who voted for my 'classical' piece. I'm always chuffed when one does well. 😄
