Is the other one "Picture This"? If so, then it might have something to do with Jimmi Destri's having written or co-written both of them.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I'm still bummed that I didn't get "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day for my month/day song.

 

[Eephus]

Is the other one "Picture This"? If so, then it might have something to do with Jimmi Destri's having written or co-written both of them.

It looks like all the tracks except 11:59 and Pretty Baby appear on Blondie compilation albums so it's possible to piece together almost the entire album.

Band politics seem kind of silly when the people concerned are all old enough for Medicare but I guess money still talks.

Tell that to John Fogerty. And band politics are always silly.

[El Floppo]

I'm still bummed that I didn't get "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day for my month/day song.

wake me up before you go go still available.

 

[El Floppo]

thanks Eephus

thanks for getting this organized, and thanks to the other drafter for making it interesting- I'm not a big fan of most of what you guys took, but I've enjoyed stretching my usual listening back to a lot of oldies as well as a lot of stuff I've just never heard.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

In what category- girl bands?

 

[hagmania]

Wake Me Up by Avicii still available - I'd ask Acer for an encore

 

[sn0mm1s]

Wake Me Up by Avicii still available - I'd ask Acer for an encore

For what category? Levels was taken early on for something (maybe international artist)

 

[Eephus]

I know I'm citing myself but after listening to a couple of mixes, I think 12 songs is pretty close to optimal. The 45-50 minute runtime is around album length so I can consume them in a single sitting. The one-word title/alphabet draft was fun but man, those mixes are like Use Your Illusion parts 1 and 2.

It's mostly because of the individuals involved but I also think the shorter draft maintained interest a bit better. The thread mostly stayed on the front page and we didn't have anybody quit on us.

 

[Gr00vus]

Could someone spotify my #### for me so you all have to listen to it?

Gracias.

 

[hagmania]

Finally decided on a mixlist.

Murderers

Molly

Levels

Shut Up And Dance

July, July

Dog Days Are Over

Geronimo

Pyro

If I Had $1,000,000

Cubs in Five

The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Magic No. 9

At work and can't get to Spotify, but I'll get a playlist up tonight.

Agreed. My thought listening to these mixes was about the same -15song/1hour would be my optimal. Those alphabet ones were great, but way too long.

Would it be fun or too difficult to make draft lengths fit into a CD? ~48 minutes or an hour?

we did this for our decade drafts. Our mixes had to fit on a cassette, cd, whatever the decade called for. It was interesting because I think a few too a lot of 2min songs, and others were taking 10+min epics.

...and a snob

Nah, you've got a very broad musical palette. Everybody isn't going to like everything everyone else likes. There are plenty of songs others draft that I don't really dig, but that doesn't mean they suck, they're just not my thing, and vice versa. No biggie.

 

[Ilov80s]

That was a lot of fun, thanks for having me. I would definitely be interested in another. Hopefully I have time to dig into the playlists this weekend. I'm going to crack a beer and check at least one out now.

Ideas for future categories

-songs that mention famous pieces of literature or literary characters

- songs that mention specific places (not city or country, but like a specific building, bridge, bar, etc.) Not sure on the exact wording.

- Songs with directions in the title (north, left, etc)

- Songs by bands where one of the band members is much more famous as a solo act than the band was.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I will try and create my list this weekend ...sorry for delay. My son is graduating tonight from HS. Big deal for him.

Sounds like you're really going to enjoy yourself.

PS. Front 242 is still out there for you.

[Mister CIA]

Sports Team Reference = Cowboy Song - Thin Lizzy

Was on my short list nearly every round

 

[Mister CIA]

Moving Stone Coyotes to La Familia.

Female Artist - Patricia Vonne - Texas Burning. Sheryl Crow meets Tex-Mex in pleasing style. While not fancy, Patricia occasionally hits notes that make me tingle.

 

[Mister CIA]

Mulligan time, sorry Townes, you're not meant for this universe. Opening for drug/alcohol category.

Blue Agave - Cadillac Hitmen

Now, I don't want two Cadillac Hitmen songs on my roster, so I'm throwing New Hampshire back and will pick anther state song. Sincerest apologies from moi if I blocked anyone from drafting their favorite New Hampshire band.

ETA: Apparently the link above throws up what is essentially a marketing splash page prompting me to download Spotify, which I already have installed.

Thanks for the fertilizer, Spotify.

 

[Eephus]

. Sincerest apologies from moi if I blocked anyone from drafting their favorite New Hampshire band.

Whoda thunk GG Allin, Ronnie James Dio, Jon Spencer and The Shaggs all hailed from the Granite State

 

[Mister CIA]

Can I mulligeon my playlist to death now, or am I limited to one?

Free spotify account and have it open. Did the drop downs but didn't see anything that said "share" or link, etc.

Agree, I've listened to 2 mixes already and neither felt like a chore. When I get some more time I'll report on each.

Well, it used to be easier to download and upload MP3 than it is today. But not as easy as it is with Spotify.
