It was a blast, Brad, to participate in the world famous Tune Tag! Though I have a feeling it might be malodorous and melodius -- it has been a couple days since I've showered. TMI? An earworms and song loops tradition! Plus, if you saw my water bill....

Always game for a Part 2 with you, Steve (as with Andrew, Nic'n'Andy, as well)! Isn't that funny.....and, I used to date 'em both in high school....the twins, Malodorous and Melodious Johnson. Lovely gals. Ironically enough, it had been a couple days since showering that seemed to be the date night fates for each us, too.

Just as well, at least for our family dog, Ol' Factory: Turns out, he had no nose. "No nose? Well, how'd he smell?"

"Terrible!"

This was fantastic. Like watching two titans in a duel of fire. Superb work, both of you!! Really enjoyed it.

I knew I would have to be at the top of my game to keep up with the TT Maestro. But I've had a couple laps around the track of life myself! Glad you liked it.

Thanks, Andy! It was a blast, if not the blast furnace your note seems to imply! It's so great the fun with this doesn't end with the 2 players!

That triggers a new possible name for it all: "Rock'n'Rollercoaster"! Nah, best leave well enough alone! You're welcome to hop aboard, Kevin, at any time! All I need is a song!

This is definitely a cool game. You get a lot of creativity on display here! Plus: Roxy Music is awesome.

Thanks, Andrew.....for this, and for being an early and more-than-worthy "adversary"!! What's especially cool, too, is that the fun isn't just for the players....taking the journey for readers is a blast, as well....especially if they "play along" and guess a song before it pops up!

Glad you liked, MK! I beat you by 5 decades in seeing Peter live!! Wanna see? https://bradkyle.substack.com/p/paper-plate-peter-gabriel-offers

We'd love to have you play, MK, now that you've seen how it works! All you have to do is e-mail me a song and artist....any song, any artist, any year, any era, any genre....your choice entirely! Your song choice does not have to be linked to any previous Tune Tag game! I'll, then, follow with my tagged tune, along with brief info about the hows and whats!

This wasn't my first Gabriel concert (that would be the Secret World tour) but yes, you did beat me by a bit. Here's my write up of last week's concert. https://open.substack.com/pub/mkpiatkowski/p/peter-gabriel-and-guardian-angels?r=1x0x1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Thanks for the game - will need to think on what I want to start with!

Oh and « The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging! » had an Eno thumbprint- I think he had something to do with that stiff jello whistly vocal effect!!!

Yes! Not only on "The Grand Parade," but on "In the Cage"! He had trouble describing it, too, calling his contributions "Enossification"! May I interest you in a round of Tune Tag, Britta? All you have to do is e-mail me a song by any artist (any era or genre), and I'll send you the next song and all info!

Bring it on!! I just may need a tendue refresher course as for the rules. Any old song?

...and don’t I have to have a little hint for you to pick up on? Am I getting this right?

Right! Just the song title and artist. You, however, keep notes on why you send the song you send...we each send 4 songs. You not only keep notes (on an e-mail draft for sending to me when we've both sent 4 songs) on songs you send, but keep notes on why you think I sent the songs as links to yours!

These are pretty much the rules. But, holler if you have questions!

Got it!!! Just sent song #2. I got notes (I got mine!! maybe you’ll get the joke 😂)

That was fun!

Looks like you're next, Glenn, if you're game! Just e-mail me the first song (any artist, any song, any era, any genre) to get us started! I'll send you my first tagged song, plus how and what to do next!
