I’m sorry – I’m new to THE CHAIN – but isn’t ” a song released in the same year” a bit of a lame
( and seemingly ENDLESS) link??…….. I think I’ll try my link to this song as Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep – the link being I never owned either song!!
Hi Mike, welcome to The Chain. It’s all about getting some real quality tunes on there, and the details of the chain are almost secondary. I sometimes start with the tune I want to hear and work backwards to the last link…. Anything goes!
One ticked off the bucket list! Tenuous link I concur but we got a 9-minute Kraftwerk song on daytime BBC radio.
Tenuous link indeed, but pales into insignificance considering the diabolical TTTT that followed.
Hi Noel,
sorry ….. can you explainTTTT?? … never was any good with acronyms!!
that would be Tea Time Theme Time old chap.
Wasn’t criticising you Craig – just thought the link was tenuous and you were a lucky b*******
to get away with it!
Your last link from Velvet Underground to Yacht was classy ( though found myself checking on Wikipedia about the tugboat reference) ………………………………..
watch out you linkers… there’s a new kid on the block.
FWIW – I thought it was an EXTREMELY tenuous link too. Not what I consider “thematically linked” at all. But maybe I’m being too pedantic…
Noel ….. how did you know I was old???
Elvis…………. nowt wrong with pedantry- I think we should campaign for a better class of link!
BTW why can’t I see todays tunes on the website? Is this me or everyone?
I think Kenneth Ken Yau fainted when Europe – The Final Countdown got on, or he’s on his jollies, but I posted them on the “I’ve been on the Chain” site…
I submiitted a link to this one which was a bit tasty (ie not a song released in the same decade!!)
Anyone want to hear it ?
Your going to anyway!
Kraftwerk is German for Power Station
Power Stations generate electricity
Next song: Generation X Your Generation
What do you reckon Pedantelvisfrommars??
Love it!
