Six degrees of music, anyone?

[MightyTiny]

Next artists:

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds



and....

Neneh Cherry

[mactbone]

Here's my friend's steps from Rilo Kiley to Sam Cooke for your edification:

sam cooke's song "nothing can change this love" was covered by jonathon richman
jonathon richman worked with producer John Cale on various demos.
John Cale was formerly a member of the Velvet Underground
Rilo Kiley covered "after hours" by the velvet underground.

Here's her steps for Claus Nomi to Tom Waits:

okay so nomi was a backup singer for bowie (according tothis ).
bowie produced lust for life for iggy pop.
iggy pop appeared with tom waits in coffee and cigarettes.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds collaborated with Shane McGowan on 'What A Wonderful World'...

The Pogues incl. Shane McGowan duetted with Kirsty MacColl on a cover version of Cole Porter's 'Miss Otis Regrets' on the H.I.V./A.I.D.S. charity album 'Red Hot & Blue- A Tribute To Cole Porter'...

and Neneh Cherry sang a cover version of Cole Porter's 'I've Got You Under My Skin' on the very same album.



I also remembered yesterday that Rick Wakeman of 'Yes' played keyboards for Bowie on the 'Space Oddity' and 'Hunky Dory' albums, so I could have managed Fiona Apple to Jon Anderson in 6 after all.

Double darn.

Okay.

June Tabor to Rufus Thomas.

From Anal **** to PJ harvey - exactly 6 degrees of separation:

1. Seth Putnam of Anal **** guested on Pantera's "The Great Southern Trendkill"

2. Pantera covers Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan":


3. Black Sabbath's "Hand of Doom" is covered by Slayer. (No video available)

4. Tori amos covers Slayers "Raining Blood":


5. Tori Amos plays the harpsichord in a live version of "Unravel" with Björk:


6. And finally... Björk sings the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" as a duet with PJ Harvey:


Whew.... now that was HARD!

So, the next artist to start with:

Fiona Apple



And please be a tiny bit more gentle this time around.

Wow, I'm impressed.

June Tabor covered All This Useless Beauty by Elvis Costello

Good job

I had an idea that the connection would be found through the Cole Porter tribute.

But let's try and include the video or audio clips if available - it livens up the thread quite a bit. (instructions on how to include clips to be found on the first post of this message)

For this line then:

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds collaborated with Shane McGowan on 'What A Wonderful World':

Double darn.

I've learned from experience, this time I won't dash off looking for a band called "double darn"

Okay.

June Tabor to Rufus Thomas.

Check!

So for the next round...

June Tabor



and

Rufus Thomas

[phoenixcager]

Darn, you were fast!

No audio video to be found this time... at least I couldn't find any on youtube or last.fm - if someone finds a clip, feel free to add it later.

No video/audio found for those, I'm afraid.

Better luck with the other one:

Here's her steps for Claus Nomi to Tom Waits:

okay so nomi was a backup singer for bowie (according tothis ).
bowie produced lust for life for iggy pop.
iggy pop appeared with tom waits in coffee and cigarettes.

Nomi with Bowie: (Nomi's the guy in black tied to the pink poodle. )


Iggy Pop - Lust for Life:


Iggy and Tom in Coffee and Cigarets:

Let's try

.B.J. Thomas


and

Casiopea

[mactbone]

From my friend.

b.j. thomas did the theme to growing pains which was also covered by dusty springfield


dusty springfield's song "Son of a preacher man" was covered by Aretha Franklin


Aretha is the god mother of Whitney Houston


Nathan East cowrote songs for Whitney Houston.


Nathan East is a member of FOurplay


Fourplay did a collaboration called Four by Four with Casiopea


Connect moldy peaches and hank williams sr.

[MightyTiny]

Great job

Your friend beat me to it. (You should really talk him/her into joining Apolyton! )

For the sake of interest, here's my alternative path:

1. Casiopea covers Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely":


2. Stevie Wonder sang Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind":


3. Elvis Costello covered Bob Dylan's "I Threw It All Away" (no video/audio)

4. Burt Bacharach performed with Elvis Costello in the movie "Austin Powers 2":


5. Burt Bacharach covered BJ Thomas' "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head": (Video is from a Burt Bacharach tribute night, sung by Ben Folds Five, introduced by Burt Bacharach: )


So, as per your friend's choise, the next artists:

Moldy Peaches


and

Hank Williams Sr.

[MightyTiny]

Ok, here it is:

1. Kimya Dawson, the lead singer of The Moldy Peaches, is featured on the Third Eye Blind track "Self-Righteous" (no audio/video)

2. Third Eye Blind covered "Cry Cry Cry" by Johnny Cash (no audio/video)

3. Joey Allcorn also covered Johnny Cash's "Cry Cry Cry":


4. Joe Alcorn covered "Move it on Over" by Hank Williams Sr.:


Next artists will be posted very shortly...
