About a year ago a friend and I invented the game six degrees of iPod. Whilst driving in the car to a holiday we're listening to his iPod on random and what we had to do was to link each songs with the next by six degrees. It was a lot of fun and I thought perhaps just the sort of mindless waste of time that would be perfect for the internet.
My friend Si had recently posted these two songs for a game of six degrees...
A Love Supreme - John Coltrane (A Love Supreme)
and
The Hardest Button to Button - The White Stripes (Elephant)
Which I joined up in six degrees like this...
John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" was known as his "Christian" album (due to it's religious themes) Bob Dylan (1) also had a "Christian" album "A slow train coming" Which Mark Knofler (2) played guitar on. Mark Knofler was part of a highly successful and quite crap band in the 80's Dire Straits (3). Michael Jackson (4) was also a highly successful and quite crap artist in the 80's. Fortunately Nirvana's (5) "Nevermind" with it's huge break through single "smells like teen spirit" knocked Michael jackson's appropriately titled "Bad" album from the US number one spot and Nirvana were hailed as the Saviours of Rock by the indie press. Nearly 10 years later The White Stripes (6) with there "Elephant" album and break through single "seven nation army" were also hailed as saviours of rock by the indie press. "the hardest button to button" was another single from that album.
