I recently bought and put together a case of 13" cubes called an ' Expedit ' from a certain scandanavian homeware store. It's 25 cubes each holding arround 80 LPs. So now apart from the real dross my whole vinyl album collection is in my listening room....at last. ( if my floor holds up "tch" )
SO ,I had this silly and not at all original idea. Bloody good fun though. It's surprising what you find you used to hate but now it's actually ok.
Think of a word....play an album. Connect the title or artists name to a next album , and so on. Just like that silly game where kids connect words till they come back to the original. I started with The Fall album ' cerebral caustic '....next on was ' Talking Heads 77 ' Get it ?
So now I'm fecked....Where do I go from
ABC's ' Lexicon of love ' ???
OH...the word 'Love' is not allowed....to easy.
Thanks for any help pop pickers.:scratch:

Cameo - Word Up.

I'm planning some Expedit too.

This is very simple - just follow the path which has been meticulously laid out for you by the diligent contributors to the Degrees of Separation (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7365) thread on your favourite fun forum. If you don't have the required albums, just buy them!

Nah mine's about words not artist collaborations.
That's hell of a thread but mine is a dummies version of word association .Then we can use our imagination a little without having to be know alls and start reading liner notes etc.
Anyway I went as suggested with XTC .
Next up was Penetration with 'Moving Targets '
I thought ecstasy and penetration went nicely.
There must be plenty to go with that ??

The undercurrent running through DoS is 'who can make the most tenuous link between their tracks of choice - details artist collaborations are only ever used if there's nothing else left!
How about this for example, where we went from:

Smashing Pumpkins - 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings'

...by saying:
If you study butterflies, your lepidopterological investigations would teach you that among the various butterflies are two particular genera called Lycaena and Plebeius
......................the Coppers and the Blues

...and arriving at:
Sugar - 'Copper Blue'

Impressive indeed !
But as I said......Word association is where I'm coming from.
If one can produce a baffling , yet still relevant suggestion ( with an explanation if deemed necessary ) then great. Plus....I only got 1500 or so to choose from hahaha.
