The Chain - Simple premise. Link one song to the next, however simple or convoluted the explanation, so long as there are some good sounds, and so it goes... Put a little description of the songs link and reasons for, etc. Just a bit of fun...

Tried this on Facebook, but mostly they're a bunch of cunts talking about the price of sausages. So I bring this to you, sophisticates, people of fine taste and probably good sausage pricers.

I'll start with 3 songs, records? Whatever:

Ohhhh I'm liking that convolution, good one. That said, perhaps comments will break the flow, so I'll shut me gob.
