Hello pals! Welcome to week 195 of #lexieschain. Last week was Skye wiv Love Can Build A Bridge by some wimmins includin Neneh Cherry an Chrissie Hynde! Let us see what we gots dis week:
@maggietkat congrats Skye on the great tune. The song was written by 3 people which include Naomi Judd. Naomi and her daughter Wynonna, better known as The Judds, took country music by storm in the 1980's. My link is The Judds and one of my favorites, "Rockin' with the Rhythm of the Rain'.
@claptonterrier Hi Miss Lexie…last week Miss Skye chose a song called “Love Can Build a Bridge”…we have been trying to do our link all week this week so that we didn’t have to do a last minute entry like last week…but we kept forgetting what the song was that we were supposed to be linking to…so that has finally made our choice very easy indeed….we ave chosen “Don’t Forget About the Bridge” by the Blind Boys of Alabama…
@terenceterrier Last week da winning linky woz Cher n 3 others singing “Love Can Build A Bridge”. Cos it iz nearly Halloween I remembas dat Cher woz in da film The Witches Of Eastwick. This was also made into a stage musical so I choose a song from it called “Look At me”.
@djladylexie Our linky does be bridges. Neneh Cherry was in this song an also ma song is about building bridges. Well, Neneh Cherry also appears in a video wiv TheThe called Slow Train to Dawn where she be tied up on the train tracks demonstratin ow the man is not prepared to let the woman be her true self. Plus bridges go over train tracks! Yay! heehee.

Hello pals! Welcome to week 179 of #lexieschain. So last time was Skye wiv White Rabbit from Jefferson Airplane. Let's see wot we gots dis week:
@maggietkat Well Done, Skye! White Rabbit is about Owsley Stanley, LSD chemist. Another proponent for the use of psychedelics was Timothy Leary. No song is more iconic than "legend of the mind" by the Moody Blues. (had to put anuvva link in coz that one not working)
@freddie_bt Credit due to Grace Slick coz in da days of da Counter Culture women in rock music were rare, rarer still were women dat wrote songs. We read dat da music wuz influenced by Miles Davis' beautiful Sketches of Spain. Miles Davis wife Betty Davis wuz also a rock singer n like Grace wrote her songs n insisted on total artistic control, to er credit she wuz outspoken n confrontational as our linky "If I'm In Luck Tonight I Might Get Picked Up" shows. Her Funk influenced Miles musical change as did Sly Stone n Hendrix who she introduced im to.
@wotterface So, really simple this week. Last week's winner was "White Rabbit", based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. We just love Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For" with a very Alice in Wonderland video.
@terenceterrier Last week da winning linky woz “ White Rabbit “ by Jefferson Airplane. Dis makes me fink of a fillum wot be abowt lotsa wabbits – Watership Down. So I chooses moosic from dat film “Bright Eyes” by sung Art Garfunkel (added linky as uvva one didn't work hope is right one)
@smcheetham Morning glad to be back with a chain suggestion. We have used the rabbit connection from White Rabbit and gone to another more recent rabbit based tune. We have gone for Rabbit Heart by Florence and the Machine bit of an Alice in Wonderland style video as well. Good weeks everyone.
@djladylexie In the Matrix movie Thomas Anderson (Neo) was shown that he was leading a false life and needs to be awakened. He is awaked by following the White Rabbit. So we followin that rabbit and as chosen a track from the soundtrack of The Matrix – Mindfields the The Prodigy! Coz drugs blow your mind!
An da winner ... as chosen by .... Skye ......... dus be ......... @smcheetham (Stella) wiv Florence and the Machine and Rabbit Heart. Super linky! Now is your turn Stella.
Ere wot Skye said bowty it: Wow, so many super links and connections. Torn between #5 & #2 but in the end there is only one winner today. #5 with the fabulous Florence Welch ! Well done all!
So it's over to you. Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one! You has until 13th July 2014 (gets it to me by 2pm UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee.

Hello pals! Welcome to week 177 of #lexieschain. Welcome back pals. Mum all okies enuff to elp me wiv computa! So last time was Wyn and Freddie joint winners. So lets see wot we gots dis week:
@maggietkat 2 winners! Well Done Freddie and Wyn! I have chosen to link with The Civil War's "Barton Hollow". Their contemporary bluegrass reminded me of the movie, "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" and The Soggy Bottom Boys. One member of the "band" was Tommy Johnson who had sold his soul to the devil. Barton Hollow spoke of strife, and my pick of the week does the same, "Man of Constant Sorrow".
@skye613
Ohh 2 winners! Well done Freddie & Wyn. So looking at both songs .. we see the Civil War & bells. On December 25, 1864 upon hearing of his sons enlistment in the Union Army, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote Christmas Bells in which he expressed his anguish over the hate tearing the nation apart. In 1872 it was set to music by John Baptiste Calken and is known today as " I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day" . The poem is 7 stanzas long but most renditions remove two verses that directly address the Civil War.
@diamondbertie Tubular Bell by Mike Oldfield is a lovely tune and my choice for this link is another Mike Oldfield piece Moonlight Shaddow.
@borderpup We just seen you're doing chainy dis week - eek! Ok, so we will make a linky from Tubular Bells and go wiv annuver sort of tube, Down in the Tubestation at Midnight by The Jam. See what I did there? I'll get my coat ...
@claptonterrier Last time there were two winners but we decided to link to Mr Freddie’s choice of Tubular Bells…..typist f course wanted to do links to tubular tyres and something to do with cycling but I have insisted that we do a link to the sort of tubes I like…the one with the trains in when I go to London so our link this week is “Down in the Tube Station at Midnight” by The Jam…
@djladylexie Ok well our linky do be cocaine! What the … well hang on pals. Let me explain! Right Mike Oldfield dun a great song called Moonlight Shadow. Moonlight Shadow was da feme toon of one Dave Angel, Eco-warrior from The Fast Show. Dave Angel was played by comedy stand up comedian Simon Day. Simon Day has suffered wiv drug problems frewout his life, his drug of choice bein cocaine. Simon Day starred in the movie Run Fat Boy Run wiv Simon Pegg. Simon Pegg was in the great zombie movie Shaun of the Dead. In Shaun of the Dead they play White Lines in a scene outside the pub. White Lines is an anti-drug song from awesome Hip Hop Grandmaster Melle Mel. So dat is ma linky. White Lines by Grandmaster Melle Mel.Don't dus drugs!
An da winner ... as chosen by .... Wyn and Freddie ...... dus be ......... on bloomin eck! Is me again! Dad ain't gonna be very appy!
So it's over to you. Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one!

Last week da winner was Wyn wiv God Only Knows from Beach Boys. Let's see wot we gots dis week:
@maggietkat
Well done with "God Only Knows". There were 3 Wilson brothers, Brian, Dennis, and Carl. Dennis was on drums until the band split up. Dennis later starred in a movie called "Two Lane Blacktop" with costar James Taylor. Although neither musician's music was featured in the film, a wonderful love song written by Kris Kristofferson was, "Me and My Bobby McGee".
@diamondbertie
Last week @WOtterface won the chain with God Only Knows by The Beach Boys, this group also have Good Vibrations to their credit which was a Psychedelic song.
This reminded me of another boy band The Beatles which if my memory serves me were the Beach Boys inspiration. I have to think of the Beatles Psychedelic song Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds, therefore this is my choice for this weeks chain.
@terenceterrier
Clever Wynn won da chainy wiv “God Only Knows” by The Beachboys. The Beachboys were formed in Hawthorne California in 1961 n this songy woz released in 1966. Annuver US group wot formed in da Swinging Sixties woz The Mamas and the Papas. I sticks wiv both da California link & da 60’s link & choose their big hit “ California Dreaming” wot woz released in 1965 as my linky.
@bunnersandharvs
So den a veree big well done to dat Wotter fur da winning linky last week by da Beach Boys 'God Only Knows'. We dus love dat songy, well Mum does and it did make us think that if someone did leave, you would feel like you was in a different world and you would be in deespar saying I can't stop thinking of him or her. So our linky is another old songy by a group called 'The Fifth Dimension and der songy 'One Less Egg to Fry'. Why? Well, you in another dimension (Mum says) cos you soooo sad and den you miss cooking dat fried egg fur dem. We did said dat if dat lady wos so sad she could cook dat egg fur us...hee hee.
Enjoy your selekshun dis week Wotter. We hopes you enjoys dis old songy and da clothes in dis videeo too.
@freddie_bt
God Only Knows, our favourite Beach Boys song, On Pet Sounds Brian Wilson broke with the constraints of the surf sound. He wanted to write his music in his way and God Only Knows is the finest example and regarded by many including Paul McCartney as a deeply moving song. It was unusual in that it included the word God in the title. Though a song about love rather than God it made us think of spiritual music, our favourite is by John Tavener perhaps the greatest composer of the late 20th Century. His "Protecting Veil" is from the Orthodox tradition and is also about love, that of the Virgin Mary providing a protecting love for the faithful. Tavener too wrote the music he wanted not what was demanded, this is a deeply religious work that extracts an intense emotional & ethereal sound from the cello.
@claptonterrier
Hi Miss Lexie..last week Miss Wyn chose “God Only Knows” by the Beach Boys…..i always find these very famous songs the most difficult to get links for….we know that Pet Sounds from which the song was taken is a very influential piece of music….lots of musicians say they love it and Paul McCartney says that God Only Knows is his favourite song of all time…in which case we will repay the favour and say that our favourite music of all time is the melody from Abbey Road…featuring Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight and the End….you can’t really separate the bits can you?…no,no,no…not allowed…so the Abbey Road medley is my choice this week…
p.s typis insists on saying that this bit shows why if Ringo was not the best drummer IN the Beatles he was the best drummer FOR the Beatles…*yawn*...
@borderpup
Wot a dilemma, trying to find a link wiv 'God Only Knows' by the Beach Boys. Music dussnt get much better than dat! When arranging the song Brian Wilson used lots of different instruments with many musicians contributing to reputedly
20 takes to produce the finished version.
Another musician who takes lots of instruments to produce many layers of sound is Tom Scholz of Boston. He is also a perfectionist like Brian Wilson and spent many hours in his basement working on his productions. Like Wilson, he was not the lead singer on our 'chain' song, their biggest hit, 'More Than a Feeling'.
@skye613
This is probably to late but wanted to send anyway. Congrats to Wyn for a great choice! Brian Wilson is one of the "greats" . He had a very hard childhood as his father beat him quite regularly . That made me think of who else had survived after enduring this type of horror. The Beach Boys followed Ike & Tina Turner on New Years Eve in 1961 at the Ritchie Valens Memorial Dance. Ike also abused Tina Turner. This is one of my favs from Tina Turner A true survivor.
@djladylexie
God Only Knows is an awesome song. Brian Wilson was one of the first pop songs to use God in the title. So we are goin wiv religious connection. There are many bands and singers who have religious lyrics in their moosic, U2, Mumford & Sons and Black Sabbarf to mention a few. We fort we look at the other side, the side of the devil, if you will. Interestingly featurin another Brian, Brian Jones, we goin wiv The Rolling Stones and Sympathy For the Devil.
An da winner ... as chosen by .... @WOtterface ...... dus be ......... oh ...... me! So dat mean ma dad dus be choosin next week!
Ere wot Wyn said: Wow, some brilliant choices this week but it came down to links 3 and 9. Both classics. We're going to go with link 9 as Mom used to dance to it lots at her favourite night out (while very drunk). Well done link 9!
So it's over to you. Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one! You has until 1st June 2014 (gets it to me by 2pm UK time if poss). Oh sometimes I dus accidentally delete em! Heehee. So good idea to type DO NOT DELETE in the title and dussnt forget to send a linky to da video from You Tube!

Hello pals! Welcome to week 126 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Stella wiv Shipbuilding from Elvis Costello. Let's see wot we got dis week!
@claptonterrier
last week Miss Stella chose a song called Shipbuilding by Elvis Costello which was all about the folly of the Falklands War. I have looked in my history books and found that we went to war under a lady called Margaret Thatcher who was our Prime Minister. She was famously dubbed the IRON LADY by Captain Yuri Gavrilov in 1976 in the Soviet newspaper Red Star for he opposition to Russia during the Cold War. Her nickname makes me think of strong-willed ladies….but I couldn't find any songs about you Miss Lexie….so instead I have settled for a song about somebody like the Iron Lady: Robots. And this time the robots aren't winning….my chain this week is called Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips…
@bvefyj
Last week we did hab first win for Stella wif “Shipbuilding” by Elvis Costello. Me fink me could do anuvver anti-war song link, but den me finked how about a ship link! Dere lots ob great songs about ships. Me did decide on one ob me faborite songs by one ob me faborite songwriters and performers. So we does go from shipbuilding to wreck wif Gordon Lightfoot in a luberly tribute to da crew ob da Edmund Fitzgerald.
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Gordon Lightfoot
@diamondbertie
Last weeks winner was Elvis Costello's Shipbuilding, a haunting song about the futility of war (Falklands War). My choice is River Lady sung by Roger Whittaker a song about a ship at the end of her use, another sad haunting song I have a picture in my mind of the painting by Turner The Fighting Temeraire.
@freddie_bt
We av found it vewy difficult dis week coz dere are so many possible links to make fwom someone dat has ad such a long n vawied caweer as Elvis Costello. Wiv my invaluable elp Dad compiled a long shortlist spannin all types of music n den we scwatched our eads, well he did I went to sleep. We decided in da end to go wiv Nick Lowe one of Elvis' earliest musical collaborators. Nick Lowe was da producer at Stiff Records n produced Elvis Costello's early LPs. Since den Elvis Costello has recorded Nick Lowe songs, dey have performed together n are gud fwends. Nick Lowe has ad a long career first wiv da band Brinsley Schwarz, den as producer n solo artist. He also ad Jonny Cash as a Father in Law which must av bin intwestin. He has bin writin gweat songs fer 40 years n has bin espeshully prolific in da last decade. Dad has ad da pleshur of seeing him perform on a number of occashuns n he's luvly, vewy modest n self deprecatin.
Ere he is wiv some of his fwends, includin da entertainin Geraint Watkins on keyboards n if you look closely you'll see dat Roy Hodgson is guestin on drums. Nick Lowe singin da nostalgic Long Limbed Girl, a luvly song dat makes Dad wonder where his youth went -
@skye613
Great win Stella! When reading about Elvis Costello I noticed that he wrote & released " Pills & Soap " under the pseudonym The Imposter . That led me to wonder if others had also done this. Seems many bands have recorded using different names. My link today is " 25 O'Clock " by The Dukes of Stratosphear. Who be this band?
@djladylexie
My link does be Shine On Your Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd. Why? Well, let me tell you! Shipbuilding was alledgedly written by Costello for Robert Wyatt. Wyatt was the founding member of Soft Machine a prog rock band from Canterbury. Wyatt fell from a fourth-floor window when he got drunk at a party and was paralysed from da waist down. Soft Machine were asked to play at a concert wiv Pink Floyd – also a prog rock band of some note ;). So dat my linky prog rock bands! Yay!
@bunnersandharvs
Well dun to dat supa star Stella fur da winnin da chainy last week! We dus be thrilled fur you and we dus luv old Elvis Costello in dis household too. Saying dat we did thort about dat songy and it just make us think about travelling and dat made us think about dem peeples wot travel which made us think about a group of guys wot got together and formed da group daTraveling Wilburys. Now you may think we is odd wif dat choicy but we figure if a hooman has been through it dey need speshul caring & wot not so da linky fur us dis week is da Traveling Wilbury's - Handle With Care. Why cause 'Evabody, needs sum body - to leean on.... regardless of wot is going on... Hit it baby....
@wonderwinger
Well done Stella on your much deserved first win let it be the first of many. Ship-building by Elvis Costello being about the irony of a mini-boom for the ship-building industries of the north of England being caused by the loss of ships & lives during the Falklands war. Music can be a great way for people to come together to protest. There are many protest artists and i nearly went for a Billy Bragg link but who I've recently become aware of someone far more tuneful through the film "Searching for Sugar Man": Sixto Rodriguez. His lyrics struck a chord with those trapped and unable to speak out in South Africa during the Apartheid years, but could equally be applied to any race suffering oppression. My song choice shall be "This is not a song, it's an Outburst: Establishment Blues".
@rosieterrier
Big congratulations to Stella for last week. Dis week of course I have a Father's Day styli link. So Elvis Costello leads to Elvis Da Pelvis with 'Daddy's Home'. The DADDY himself, Mr Tom Jones covered the Elvis song 'I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone'. So my linky dis week dus be Sir Tom "who's the Daddy?" Jones (OBE) with our favourite...'There's Something Bout You Baby I Like'
@smcheetham
Well very excited to win last week made my day. Not sure if I was supposed to do an entry when I was judging but done one anyway. Very simple link from Elvis to Elvis from Costello to Presley. One of my fave Elvis songs is Suspicious Minds so thats my link this week. Looking forward to deciding the winner.
@borderpup
Shipbuilding was also recorded by Robert Wyatt, who had a big hit wiv it, and he also had a hit with 'I'm a Believer', which was one of the biggest hits of all time by the Monkees. It was written by Neil Diamond, but we dussnt feel like going down that road. On Mr Wyatt's version, Andy Summer played guitar - he of corse later found fame wiv the Police - but we're not going down that road eiva! So, back to the Monkees, where Mike Nesmith played guitar (see what we did there) and he went on to have a successful solo career. Here is a lovely recording (but manky video) of one of his hits, Silver Moon.
An da winner ............... as chosen by Stella - @smcheetham .............. dus be ...........Tucker - @bvfeyj wiv The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Gordon Lightfoot! A great linky, well done Tucker. So dat means you will be selectin the winner next week Tucker. Ere wot Stella said:
Well this winning comes with a price it seems how can I choose between all these fantastic entries. Do I chose because its a clever link, a great song, a great artist or that it has a link to a beautiful painting. The entires are all so great. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of my all time favourite songs But then again I love the Flaming Lips who are having their 30 year anniversary at the moment as well and Nick Lowe such a legend. Also Searching for Sugar Man was one of my favourite films of last year. You are all so clever this is Really hard. Anyway I am going to go with my heart and choose Linky number 2 - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald so that this weeks' winner.
It's over to you! Email me: lexie at toxicpenguin dot com or DM me on twitter (@dogstoyevsky) wiv your link suggestion followin on from dis one!

Hello
pals! Welcome to week 124 of #lexieschain. Last week the winner was Skye wiv Almost Cut My Hair by CSNY . Let's see wot we got dis week!
And
pals, please note that we has no broadband coz BT is rubbidge and
won't climb a telegraph pole to do the cable til the 11th June! So you
gonna get disrupted service from da Lexie for a bit! We gots a 3g mobile
dongle (that is not rude) so I can be online a bit so you dussnt forget me!
@diamondbertie Here I am bright and early this week, last week's winner was CSNY with Almost Cut My Hair, I looked and listened to the lyrics and my mind went to a barber. Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber, with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, one of the tracks was Pretty Women, on that note I choose for my link Roy Orbison singing Pretty Woman.
@freddie_bt Ere's mine n Dad's entwy. Finkin of da hair cut aspect of last week's winner Dad fawt of da followin song lines: "Let me tell you Son, the war was never won, in this city's streets you gotta be careful where you move your feet, how you part your hair". Dey cum fwom da gweat Curtis Mayfield's powerful anti-war pro Civil Rights song "Back to the World" which is da phrase US soldiers in Vietnam used to describe leaving it n weturnin to ds world, sadly for many life at home wuz not ideal. "Back to the World" by Curtis Mayfield.
@djladylexie To me dis be a celebrashun of long hair and bein a bit of a hippy from da 60's. Long hair dus still be a sign of wantin to be bit different an bit of a freak/outsider maybe. Course, when you be a teenager you just wanna be you an not care abowty anyfink anyone else finks about you, your music, your beliefs wot be formin when you young. So dat got me finkin bout all the people wot get pushed and bullied for bein bit different maybe so I dun chosed a great song wot dun by, of all people, Christina Aguilera and Beautiful wot be about acceptin yourself as you are.
@bvfeyj Excellent win by @Skye613 wif “Almost Cut My Hair” by CSNY. CSNY dus be Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Dis band formed after da breakup ob Buffalo Springfield. Neil Young and Stephen Stills did join CSNY and hab solo careers as well. Dey also rerecorded some Buffalo Springfield songs. Another member ob Buffalo Springfield was Richie Furay who did join da band Poco and hab solo career too and likewise did Buffalo Springfield songs. So me choice dis week is Richie Furay wif Poco and “Heart of the Night”.
@smcheetham Hello all chain time again. Now last weeks winner was Crosby Stills Nash and Young with Almost Cut My Hair. So I have focused on Graham Nash who is of course a Lancastrian just like me and his early career was in the Hollies that well known Manchester Band . That takes me to another very special to me Manchester Band The Smiths. So which Smiths song to choose there are so very many but let's go for where it all began with This Charming Man so that's my link This Charming Man by The Smiths. Good luck everyone.
@claptonterrier Hello Miss Lexi. I was being very lazy this week and started my search for a chain link by putting "Cut My Hair" into Wikipedia (forgetting it was called Almost Cut My Hair) and being very puzzled that it kept taking me to a page about Quadrophenia by the Who. Eventually, after several tries, i realised it was doing this because there is a song called "Cut My Hair" on Quadrophenia too! How funny. I thought a little about the members of the Who and I remembered that Roger Daltrey used to own a salmon farm and that got me to thinking about bands named after fish….we had a very nervous moment when we almost selected a song by Marillion whose singer was called Fish, but eventually we settled on this nice song by Noah and the Whale …..er not technically a fish I know but whose counting eh?….life goes on…so my link this week is Life Goes On by Noah and the Whale…
An da winner ... as chosen by @skye613 ........... dus be ................ @freddie_bt wiv Back To The World from Curtis Mayfield. Yay!! Oooo you is really in da runnin now ma pal! Now
is time to get your finkin caps on an send me (find out how on da
