Cream Of 2021 - Summer - 5 Rounds - commences 27th June
___________________________________________________

Greetings music lovers. It's a lovely sunny evening here, but we did have 5 minute mini snow storm this afternoon..right out the blue. I cannot remember ever seeing snow fall in April this far west of Wales in the near score of annual cycles that I've lived here. But at least it was mercifully short.

Rightoo then..onwards we goo, and it's another early one again. Been busy spring cleaning all day..and I'm content..but knackered. Thus once again posting the latest theme up early, provided by my predecessor Nick, which is as follows:

'Contain yourself - Song titles that reflect a storage container, i.e. lunchbox, coffin, toolbox'

Easy peazy lemon squeezy then..please do offer up your noms & links as you know how to, thankings aplenty.

Ta ra.

I'm having trouble with the concept of a coffin as a storage container. I wouldn't have thought that you're likely to want to get the contents back out once you've filled it.

Perhaps it wasn't the best example, I just went with the logic that it's a container that stores bodies.

Coffins have lots of uses..i once turned one into a foot locker for the end my bed. But i hasten to add, it wasn't occupied when i got it!!

Not sure what happened with Barrel Of A Gun earlier, but there was no link so I’ve left it off. Pity, I’d have voted for that.

I wondered if anyone would know what I was talking about, or did you have to google it:-)

naw, didnae google, it was from a film with danny kaye? in it.

now i'll need to google it!

'the court jester' - i'd never have remembered the title.

One of my all-time favourites. The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon........

Good sunny eveeeeeeening to yous all! :)

Isn't it so nice to have the sun back...i were ootside in me tee and shorts for the first time this year, resuming the half a dozen projects i started this time last year..before everything went nuts.

I'm a particularly fine mood this evening, aside from the good weather, I've had 2 pieces of good news today. No..not me call up for a jab just yet, but me new summerhouse is finally coming!!! 13 months I've been waiting for that! And 2ndly.....the Gizz boys are at long last releasing the physicals to the much acclaimed album L.W, the sister album to last year's KG, released back in February. It's going to be an expensive month.

Good evening....time to put the lid on the coffin for this round.

A clear winner for the Grunge lords Nirvana with Heart-Shaped Box, thus Jemma is usurped by Mr Brass Neck esquire, as he claims the top spot this week. Well done sah.

A creditable 2nd placing goes to Gil Scott-Heron's The Bottle, thus KJS claims the step next to Mr BN's....and....

And two on joint 3rd place:

Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat by Bob Dylan, nominated by Serial &
Vicky's Box by Throwing Muses, nominated by SussexWelsh.

Well done you four....and once again the wooden stirry things stay in their box.
