Grimmy is after duets or collaborations. And you get to choose from either vocal or instrumental collaborations. Hope you've got yours ready!

The next FIVE themes are:

Theme 472 - I write the songs - pick two songs by THE SAME songwriter (can be in collaboration with others) and can be sung by the songwriter or another artist. The catch: the songwriter must be someone who YOU think is under-rated as a songwriter. If you think Lennon/McCartney or Dylan are under-rated I won't believe you, but I might allow Jagger/Richards. - Val
Theme 473 - And the wooden spoon goes to.. Please choose 2 songs from the list above, nominating from your own list. - TheFoe
Theme 474 - Jools' Jewels: Performances from Later ... with Jools Holland - Grimmy
Theme 475 - The Long and the Short of it. Put together one song with a very long title (the longer and more ridiculous the better) and one with a very short title (doesn't need to be a single word, just brief and to the point) - Tim
Theme 476 - "California Dreaming". Bands or artists from the Golden State -Collette.

All done then? There's a couple of ties this week:

In first place, a tie between Sussex and Sussex (PJ Harvey featuring Thom Yorke and Led Zeppelin featuring Sandy Denny) - both garnering 14 votes. Second goes to Tim with Massive Attack with Elizabeth Fraser - close behind on 13 votes. And in third place, another tie, this time between Tim (Leftfield & Lydon) and The Foe (David Sylvian & Sakamoto) - both on 12 votes.

Just the one unlucky wooden spoon, it's for Jim with a great trio of Kate Bush, Mick Karn & Nigel Kennedy.

Thanks everyone.
