It is always fun to accidentally find a great record. Canada is into Indian music. I will check this out

From the sound of it, I wondered if Elephant Stone Spotify-ed off of Real Estate, because the vocals have a very similar quality. But it seems we haven’t done Real Estate to date.

Good stuff.

Great choice in Air! Hm, both bands are...European 😄

I love that album from Air, pure pop gold. Don’t know the connection but I love the album

i have a OG of the power corruption and lies album, i never knew how that color code worked, and i didnt know it spelled out the title and the band name.

Both works got 9 songs ( although PC&L "Blue monday" was released as a single solo) -- another connection could be that in Basquiat paint we see a cemetery, and in Latour painting we got a bunch of flowers... flowers for a grave, maybe? Anyway I can't believe how new order influenced the strokes. Great connection!

That definitely was a classic. Blue Monday has been a popular song for groups to cover. I still don’t have that album back in my collection. When I had a paper route I could only afford 45s. Once I started working at the grocery store I made the big bucks to buy an album.

They both won Rock Album of the Year, specifically.

American Dream is my favorite Green Day. They had a lot to say and they said it well. The connection is both Abba and Green Day are screaming against capitalism and the man! Pretty sure Abba was Dayi g that. Wasn’t Abba on Broadway also or was it just Mama Mia?

They *are* the overall top 2 sellers in the UK, not just restricted to compilations. Of all albums period.

So I guess it's got to do with one of the band members on each cover,but I can't figure it out.

Having a bit of a time making a connection. I got 24 hours and counting to work it out.

Well that was quite interesting. I had no idea what Abacab meant. I feel very educated now Eric, well done

Solid rekkid. I had not heard it in a while.

Two album covers with skulls as their center?! Love the SFA album. But the follow-up to it probably is my fave of their albums.

A Finnish group with Cookie Monster vocals, no way! I use to have he Super Furry CD but I really remember nothing about it. You did game interested in it again. Connection- both bands are from planet Earth

Glad I was correct in my prediction that you would groove on that SFA. I meant to mention in my video that it was the first album simultaneously released on CD and DVD (to accommodate that surround mix).

I have never listened to Budgie before but a lot of people really like it. I can survive without the stats if feel lol. So LCD album and this album are not satanic related. I win

I think they should have made an album called Butt Cheek.

When you said it was more about both artists i had a little look and what I came up with is that both Phair and Lennon didn't grow up with their real parents. Lennon famously spent most of his childhood with his aunt, Liz Phair was adopted.

I just never got into Lennons music but that is a good album. I use to have a lot of Liz Phair in CD but after the flood never bothered to get any of her music. I was hoping there would be prizes

Only ever had best-ofs from Lennon. Well, and a super-terrible sounding live album that I got for a penny from Columbia House or something.

Weird, I meant to guess on the Crowded House video... And then I forgot to watch this until today... And Bryce should be about to put a new one up... But this doesn't actually share the simple connection that the last three did, so I guess I was wrong anyway. The last three all featured "clip art"/ "papercut" art in the covers, digitally done or real, but same sort of style.

Rob Thomas, maybe that’s the connections! I did not know it had that many covers on it. As usual no clue on the conn3ctiin, I just tune in to listen to you talk Not a huge fan of Matchbox 20

Looking up some info on M20, “Crutch” was indeed a song from their second album, released as a radio-only single.

All albums (partly) producedby Steve Lillywhite?

HaHa Big Star again. I should have mentioned in Bryce's video that I spent most of his video looking at the continuing albums or projects of the org. Still put out stuff occasionally. Some look interesting to me. A lot of Latin stuff.

I did some listening today-it seems this mini-album is not on streaming, but its tracks are split (sorta) between the bonus tracks on expanded reissues of The Crossing and Steeltown. But the long version of “Chance” isn’t on either, just the original album version. And “All Fall Together” is listed as the “Giant Remix,” which I don’t know if that means it’s the same or different from the version on Wonderland.

I use to have a few albums from Hunters and Collectors, good 80s band. Still inexpensive to buy

They had a song called “Throw Your Arms Around Me” that Neil Finn of Crowded House admired enough that he covered it regularly. They never did an official version, but I have a couple of different recordings of Neil singing it. (And I know H&C’s Mark Seymour is the brother of CH’s Nick Seymour, but I don’t want to do that as a connection-a little too obvious, and also not quite the kind of connections we do. I like to say something that is the same about both releases or artists, which I couldn’t easily do with that.)

Unsurprisingly, not available on any streaming platform in this edition, but I have most of the songs from other things, so I can sort of recreate it.

You do look quite hot Eric. I have never seen or heard of that Rock cassette. Pretty cool you go it in a tub, a tub with punk.

Good news for other players: i'm on vacation and will leave out the next 2 - 3 weeks 😉

I did have that Bad Religion CDs. They have put out a crazy amount of music but I just never really got into them. lol, great old guys can still get into the pit haha

My favorite anagram of Bad Religion is Anger Libido.

Yay. Thanks for another win 😉

I love the Cross albums, it is one of those perfect records for me. Guilty pleasure for sure

Michael McDonald 1, Malcolm McDonald 3. It would’ve been a shuout but for a late mention of Michael. I wonder if you weren’t conflating him with Malcolm McLaren.

That was a significant album for me, so I’ll have lots to say about HoJo… not sure I’ll come up with much to say about the connection.

Not familiar with Howard Jones exceot one or two songs. So, that's a pass for me this time.

I love that Howard Jones album but was never a huge fan of the Dexy album. I think it was because the video they are dancing around in bib overalls which I thought was stupid. Maybe Jones also was wearing bibs?

Oops, forgot my connection guess. Too late now anyway, but i reckon it had to do qith heaven and hell?

I have never heard of Everything Everything but I do love the cover art on it. I use to have a few Savoy Brown albums but I never really listened to them. It was good to hear your thoughts on this

Great lp! Kim is my top 5 blues players of all time.

That was pretty effusive. Glad you enjoyed the Everything Everything album.

Weeell - i guess it's got something to do with the format maybe? Both released as a certain kind of tape for example? But it's a wild guess.

Okay Erik, I’m one of the ones that does not have an expansive enough mind for that Talk Talk album. I had a chance for an OG, which is pricey but I just didn’t enjoy it when they played some of it for me. I’m just a melody kind of guy

That's a cat I don't recall seeing up on the desk before.

EWF is my college ys. Every dance had to have that group. Still love them. Both group did have a trumpet. Pretty sure nailed this
