Theme 259 - There's a storm coming: songs by, about or featuring any of the following: Atiyah, Brendan, Ciara, Dennis etc - (closed 10pm Sun 17th May)

[theDuke]

Forthcoming Themes:

Theme 260 - There's a tropical storm coming: any song or artist's name featuring the words hurricane, typhoon, cyclone, willy-willy (those wacky antipodeans; a singular willy or willie will do) or (not tropical I know but opens up more options) tornado - Brass Neck
Theme 261 - Kurt Cobain's "Top 50" - pick a track from one of Kurt Cobain's (supposedly) favourite albums - https://rateyourmusic.com/list/JoeyX/ - Helen
Theme 262 - Wildcard Round 10
Theme 263 - My Corona: Any song or artist with a title/name that reflects the Coronavirus pandemic in some way (I've got an absolute belter lined up!).- Fishy Jim
Theme 264 - Feel Good - Any song that is upbeat and likely to make the listener have their spirits raised. - TheFoe
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! - Val

---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Cream Of Rounds - Summer - Commences 28th June - 5 rounds*
---------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Guten abend! (well...i'm tired of saying good evening all the time!)

Well...watched the PM's address tonight...t'was clear as mud wasn't it?! Already Mark Drakeford, out welsh 1st minister, has said he has no intention of loosening the current lockdown restrictions, but i've no doubt this will cause some confusion with the celtic nations & it's residents. I personally think that Mark Drakeford is a waste of air, in fact i'll even go as far to say that i don't value the existance of the welsh government at all. In 7 weeks, he and his Senydd cronies have managed to only complete just 50k covid19 tests, in a population of 3.1 million. At that rate, it'll take the Senydd a whole year to test the entire population! But I guess they'll figure it out in time.

Right then, onwards to the next theme...and it appears that for the next fortnight, the forecast looks decidely unsettled, as we've a couple of stormy weeks ahead of us to contend with.

Here be the first, nominated by Sera i think. I've no idea what to nominate for this..but hopefully i'll find something:

'There's a storm coming: songs by, about or featuring any of the following: Atiyah, Brendan, Ciara, Dennis, Ellen, Francis, Gerda, Hugh, Iris, Jan, Kitty, Liam, Maura, Noah, Olivia, Piet, Róisín, Samir, Tara, Vince, Willow'

Noms and links please, as you know how, thankings a plenty.

Sorry, it doesn’t. I was thinking. ‘Neil’ was OK having forgotten Neil Young was disqualified. Have deleted. Can the next person remove it from the list, please? Ta.

[Sera69]

Ah, the good old days, when all we had to worry about was the name of the next storm.

Only these names, please: Atiyah, Brendan, Ciara, Dennis, Ellen, Francis, Gerda, Hugh, Iris, Jan, Kitty, Liam, Maura, Noah, Olivia, Piet, Róisín, Samir, Tara, Vince, Willow. And as vague and obtuse a connection to them as you'd like.

I'd highly recommend Olivia Chaney's solo albums which I came to via the inspired pairing of her voice and the Decemberists' music as Offa Rex (which I note zon customers liken to Fairport's Liege & Lief);

Good afternoon folks. Apologies for the delay in closing this round.

My gratitude to Steve and Sussex..for seeing there way to separatingly the frontrunners in this round, as we now have a clear winner..but only just..again! You lot just love your 'tight as a quacker's bum' photoshoot finishes, don't ya?! :)

Rightyho then..we do have three winning songs, along with their respective nominators....& they'd be:

In first place, with a creditable score of 23 points, it's 'Montagne, Que Tu Est Haute' by Olivia Chaney & Kronos Quartet. So this week's crowning champion is..........our very own retired assiduous librarian, it's the lovely Lez! Crikey Lez..it's been a while hasn't it?! Well done to you! :)

Taking the middle spot...and only just missing out by that solitary point again, it's the rock 'n' roll number about a man singing about his posh yank car! Good song though. Nominated by Tim, 'Brand New Cadillac' by Vince Taylor & His Playboys, so you get the silver tiara mate! :)

And finally....Tech picks up a bronze bust of himself, for his punky number 'Kitty Ricketts' by The Radiators (From Space), which scored 16 points.

Well done you three, especially to Lez., nicely done.

Wasn't at all a shabby round, was it?

And....i can put me feet up now..cos i'd already started the next round...ahhhhhh! :)

[Sera69]

That was a pretty good mixed bag round. Have to find another "list of names" type theme. Perhaps makes people think outside the box a bit :)

What a surprise, a female folk singer and a modern string quartet!

The album's well worth a listen.

That's the one I have, along with their Steve Reich 'Different Trains' CD. 😎 Somehow never got round to buying others yet. Too many records, not enough time even during lockdown!

Good idea, Sera. This was a good mixed list.

[Brass Neck]

Could do English/UK kings & queens' names …… or Kardashians?

Could do phonetic alphabet?

Names of deities/prophets/apostles?
