Music Association Thread #1

Well the other forum has a version of this
movies so I thought I would toss the
music version into this forum. Now, the
rules to the game I know as Music Links
is a little different then the movie versions,
but still rather simple:

1) Someone says the name of a band or singer (ie: The Beatles)
2) Someone replies using the LAST LETTER in the band or singer just posted (ie: The Beatles turns to Supertramp)
3) Repeat (ie: Suptertram turns to Police)*

*NOTE: Bands with a "the" in it (ie: THE Police) you ommit it.

Okay, I shall start us off with:

Bruce Springsteen

Have fun,

V

Bruce Springsteen to National Health

National Health to husker Du

Hasker Du to Ultimate

Slayer to Rainer Maria

Rainer Maria to Angra

This isn't nearly as much fun as the movie one, though.

*NOTE: This might be more interesting if you're required to only post bands whose albums you own.

Angra to Atomic Bitchwax

Bitchwax to XTC

(yes, I'm playing by the "you have to own it" rule)

XTC to Counting Crows

counting crows to sevendust

Sevendust to Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

(I'm playing by the "you have to own it" rule too)

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists* to Songs:Ohia

*they put on a really good show and are very cool guys, based on my experience from a couple weeks ago

Quote:

Songs: Ohia is one man, Jason Molina, a tenor guitar-wielding songwriter from the shores of Lake Erie. Critics often compare Songs: Ohia to Palace/Will Oldham, and while sonically the comparison is valid, Molina's ardent, soul-searching lyrics are more aptly compared to Neil Young or Leonard Cohen. But ultimately, Molina's falsetto is so idiosyncratic, and the economy placed on his guitar playing is so stringent, that full comparisons are difficult to support. Molina was born in Lorain, Ohio. Growing up on a heavy dosage of Black Sabbath, Molina began his musical career playing bass in heavy metal bands around Cleveland. Always a songwriter, Molina eventually decided to perform and record solo with help as needed. He developed a method of tuning his guitar that complemented his voice and worked with his background as a bass player. Finding his niche in indie-rock circles, Molina made home recordings under the names Songs: Albian, Songs: Radix, and Songs: Unitas to pass out at live shows. Settling on Songs: Ohia, Molina released a single on the Palace label in 1996. The first Songs: Ohia full-length followed in 1997; released on the Secretly Canadian label, the self-titled album garnered critical acclaim. Songs: Ohia continued to release full-length albums — including 1998's Impala and 1999's Axxess & Ace — and a number of singles on various American and European labels, and won a large following in many European countries, most notably Holland and Germany. In 2000, Songs: Ohia released two albums, The Lioness and Ghost Tropic, which featured musical assistance from Alasdair Roberts (Appendix Out) and Shane Aspegren (Lullaby for the Working Class); the latter album saw Molina beginning to incorporate ethnic musics into his compositions.

Blowfish to Heroic Doses

Stevevt - I just saw Ted Leo for the second time last night, and he was great.

Before the show, I was kinda concerned how his falsetto (which he does around half the time) would sound live. He really pulls it off, and then some.

They had a few sound problems throughout the set but it was still very enjoyable. The Dismemberment Plan (4th time seeing them) wasn't too shabby either.

Unrelated: I finally picked up the new Jenny Toomey album and must say that it lives up to the Stevevt/Pikul hype.

I've seen The Plan once; definitely want to see them again. Did you get their new album?

Back on topic, and staying with the Secretly Canadian theme I started with Songs:Ohia...

Heroic Doses to Swearing at Motorists

Swearing at Motorists to suede

suede to Edith Frost

The toughest part is trying not to have every band end with "s."
