Cream Of 2020 - Summer - Round 5 - (closed 10pm Sun 2nd July)

[theDuke]

Forthcoming Themes:

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

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

Is it just me or has Val submitted the entire Floodlights debut album? Matter of Time is supposedly a 3 minute song according to Discogs, but the vid is nearly 36 minutes long! Not a bad album though. :)

Just in case, i have found a clip for just the song:

I am not very proficient at technology but I'm very proud that I've now mastered getting the playlists up on the telly in the front room. Today I was able to sit in the winter sun and watch the clips. Last week, I was in the kitchen doing dishes but could still hear them loud and clear.

Good evening folks.

And that's the final round for the summer done and dusted. And we end with the two highest scoring songs of the 5 rounds, both reaching the 20s...just.

They are:

The golden shiny one winner: 'Solo Dance' by Michele Mercure, with a 'season' topping score of 21 points...so the final winner is............KJS! Well done that man!

And juuuuust missing out on a gold gong....by one solitary point the song that was leading throughout the voting till Sera came along (!) and pushed Mercure into the lead, but non the less 'Happy' by Bdrmm, takes the 2nd spot, so our former host Nick gains the silver gong.

And finally, a few points back, but with a decent 16 points 'Matter Of Time' by Floodlights, meaning Val collects the Bronze one.

Well done you three, especially to KJS & Nick for finsishing the rounds off with those nice those high scores. A nice way to finish this Summer's round off with.

And we'll do it all again come December for the end of year rounds.....till then! :)
