Can some kind person please check if the link works for you up there?

From last year's apocalyptical thrash album "Infest The Rats' Nest". Some might think they saw this coming!

Gordon came straight out of the traps with my first choice, but I'm pretty happy with this one. I was tempted to go for comic relief with Need You Forever - Lou Rawls, but the music wasn't really me.

Sorry, didn't refresh after posting. I must have been right to do a Stalinist airbrushing anyway, seeing as you agreed! 😂

sad to think that four of the seven are dead now."
The Motorhead guys didn't exactly follow a healthy regimen. Lived fast, died young, left good-looking corpses - Lemmy excepted on the last two counts.

Someone's done a genius version/reworking/parody of Nitzer Ebb's EBM classic "Let Your Body Learn" (original version if anyone's interested - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=627XGCf...).

I came up with a whole playlist while trying to chose my nom. It was a tough choice and I've probably not picked the one that would get most votes.

Yeh, I did a playlist a while ago (posted on another thread). Lots to choose from & SO many covid songs have been created in the last two months. I was considering nominating this one too (you won't like it, Jim!): one of the creators of the Mortal Kombat theme ("Techno Syndrome"), Oliver Adams, has done a 2020 mix/version of it:-
Mortal Virus Techno Syndrome - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BGTpgUx...

A little late, this time thanks to yet another pointless MS feature update, which managed to temporarily block me out of accessing my own soddin' computer, blerdy thing! Why can't they just leave things alone??!!
Anyhoo...we've got 15 songs and thus 5 votes apiece.

well, i just couldn't be bothered changing my 5 to a 4, so 'least offensive' meter was employed. besides, i believe he was cured of the dreadful disease he had - beingingenesisitis!

Opps! Sorry Gordon!


A spendid hot sunny day today, here in my little quiet (very!) corner of Wales. I'm covered in paint splashes...as i have been painting gates today.
Right then..some impressive scores this week, with one just missing out on hitting the super 30s, not shabby at all.
The winner, with the classic from the late Lemmy & co, tops the bill with a whole 29 points, it's 'Please Don't Touch' by Motorhead & Girlschool. This week's crowned champion therefore, is the Brass Neck one.
Super congrats to you sah.
The best of the rest are as follows; 'I Am The Virus' by Killing Joke, with 24 points, nominated by Saint Nick, & 'Infected', by the band with one too many definitives, The The, nominated by Gordon. The only other song to make the 20s.
Congrats to you three chaps.
Buuuuuutt.....we have a pair of 'nul pointers' as well. Right then......where's me box of wooden spoons gone?
*Disappears into the back room....a lot of clanking, scraping of furniture, & the odd high pitched girly scream (after spotting a spider!), and blowing off dust can be heard....comes back out again*
Found 'em!
Okay then, two (they will be cleaned!) nearly freshly minted wooden cooking utensils to be packed off...for these two songs, which nobody liked! They are: 'We're All Home Bound' by Claire & Mel Vaz, nominated by Lez & 'Dance Macabre' by Ghost, nominated by Jemma.
Mibbe you two can get together some time (whenever this bloody virus sods off first!) and take consolation in each other company...cos your nominations were pants ladies! lol! ;-)
Actually..if i'm honest..i really thought i'd be the one to be awarding myself a spoon this week, for that King Gizz track! I still can't bag that nul point...i try folks i really do!!!!! :)
Good job folks..but on to the next one we goooo.
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
Theme 268 - Let's Stick Together; any song 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

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello one and all.
Okay then, onwards we go...to a theme that had been the only topic on the global conscious. But the last coupla of weeks, it has somewhat been overshadowed by the George Floyd scandal.
Neverless, the evil and invisable menace is still with us...and Fishy Jim wants you to put forward nominations for his theme, which is:
'My Corona: Any song or artist with a title/name that reflects the Coronavirus pandemic in some way'
Noms and links in the usual fashion please, thank you.
Finally, don't forget that the Cream Of 2020 Summer rounds will begin soon...so get your noms ready for those please, thank you. Saying that, i dunno about you..but i've really struggled to find anything to offer up this year....what with my favoured bands being layed up currently due to the pandemic crisis. I'll guess i'll have root out something different this time!
See ya Wednesday then.
