Strategery could be really important, although I don't think there is a Beatles type band that will be wiped out on the first round. You never know however. Pretty sure 2 bands will be wiped out by the end of R3 however.I've already put together a very long playlist of possible songs and need to spend some time this weekend paring it down. There is a lot of great variety from decade--it's tough to cut some these tunes.
No spotlighting with your screen name and avatarIn the past draft (summer mixtape) I ran, we had a cap of five songs by each artist that can be taken for the draft. The idea was to promote scarcity and encourage diversity in the mixes, I think it worked pretty well (though there are only a few artists where we'd push the limit for the 00s. If no one objects, we'll use that again.
Been awhile since we've drafted for these and I forgot about this rule.
Screen name won't apply to this draft.Sadly, I believe I have yet to draft any of their songs for these things.No spotlighting with your screen name and avatarIn the past draft (summer mixtape) I ran, we had a cap of five songs by each artist that can be taken for the draft.

I'm completely overwhelmed at this point.I've already put together a very long playlist of possible songs and need to spend some time this weekend paring it down. There is a lot of great variety from decade--it's tough to cut some these tunes.

ABRANTeS SNIPe ALeRT: If not too late, OH says he'd be in on this one--I don't know enough good aughts music to do it justice, though.
Hell, I'm in. That's no reason not to be in.
...millions of possibilities21 drafters, one decade.
ETA: actually around 5.8 x 10162 permutations
...millions of possibilities21 drafters, one decade.
Based on 27,000 albums with an average of 12 tracks each released in the US every year of the decade. This works out to 3.24 million songs.
Assume 25 songs in a 100 min. mix arranged in any possible sequence without repetition and you get into the 10162 range. I didn't factor in the impact of other drafters decreasing the pool of songs so please don't snipe my picks.
Yeah, this is gonna be fun.
better plan your backups too.snipe snipe snipeStrategery could be really important, although I don't think there is a Beatles type band that will be wiped out on the first round. You never know however. Pretty sure 2 bands will be wiped out by the end of R3 however.
I've pared my list to 132 of those 3.24 million...millions of possibilities21 drafters, one decade.

Started with 170 or so and whittled down to 135. Long road ahead.
I think that was more of an unwritten rule. People were too anal about their mixes to throw more than 1 song per artist in their draft. I can only think of 1 mix that had two of the same artist, and I think it was to get the opener and closer of Animals.In the past we have always had a rule: no more than one song by a particular artist on any given mixtape. I didn't see this restriction mentioned in the OP. However, I would like to propose that we up this to two per mixtape. I know that we want to promote diversity in the mixtape but I think with the expanded time for this mix it would be reasonable to allow two songs by the same artist on one mix. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Up to NV, but if people double up, so be it. Nobody might listen to their mixtape, but if 2 of their fave songs from the 00's are from the same artist it's not that big a deal.In the past we have always had a rule: no more than one song by a particular artist on any given mixtape.

Yep, you're in.
Sweet...five Creed songs for me!
Nah, I tried one for the 90's and it went badly wrong. KP did one for the 80s and I think NV did one as well, but at the end of the day you're mix has to be something you like. That's why my 90's one failed.
Yeah, you can do that if you want.
only reason I am doing this is for the other mixes. (Yes I know I dont have to draft but I will not keep up if I dont).
So...none?
Chocolate starfish, boyyyyyy!!!!
So does this mean you're in? or just going through the finished mixes?Tufnel is... IN!Arch Stanton said:
My entire collection would be songs from Hellcat Records. I'm about to get peeled with 11 of the next 12 days in brutal working conditions so I doubt I'll even catch up until after then. I'm just going to cherry pick the mixes with gratitude to the drafters.So does this mean you're in? or just going through the finished mixes?Tufnel is... IN!Arch Stanton said:
