[El Floppo]

somebody took a song from this great album as #1 in the mid-season draft... and I think that one might be the SotY . but the album is great top to bottom- a real blast back to their glory days, full of guitars and smart-alecy political anger.

I would not argue with that SoTY pick. 

 

[El Floppo]

btw.... the playlist I made (and keep adding to) for this draft.

god help me, but I've been really close to taking that justin timberlake tune from the trolls movie. one of those iconic tunes that will definitely define the year for me (with young kids)

 

[Eephus]

the welsh maradonna?!

Giggs was eligible to play for Sierra Leone on his father's side. 

 

[Eephus]

14.x Kevin Morby & Waxahatchee - Farewell Transmission

15.x Twenty One Pilots - My Blood

Let it be known in a golden age of covers I only took two and they were real releases, not Spotify singles or whatever

And I never thought I would be interested in anything by 21Pilots but I must legit dig this one because I still let it play months later

I'm definitely taking a cover song with my last pick because I want it on the mix. 

 

[El Floppo]

is 15 the last round?

have to whittle down 30 or so songs here, if so.

eta: and trying to decide if I include a song from a band we haven't had yet, or from one of the great albums from the first part of the year that may have been taken then, but not now.

 

[D_House]

Rd 14 - Richard Swift - Broken Finger Blues

RIP. I was familiar with him from his prosuction work with Damien Jurado and Foxygen as well as the alternate universe smash hit Lady Luck and was sad to hear of his demise from alcohol-related complications this year.

[Jaysus]

Here's the title track from a female performer album for @steelcitysledgehammers

Round 16 - Stand Atlantic - Skinny Dipping

J

 

[Ilov80s]

Rd 16: Forever Changeless by Nils Frahm

a little classical/electronic combo

 

[El Floppo]

Round 15 - Bass Drum of Death - Third Coast Dreaming

Been going back and forth with when I would post one from this album.  I had debated between this song, "Too High" and "Just Business".

J

same- just business for me.

 

[El Floppo]

since we're having a collective #metoo day, I'll throw some more aussie out there. I like that there seems to be a metal/post-punk hybrid starting to happen in different places. 

16- tell them where to go- cable ties

 

[JZilla]

16.x Spider Bags - Oxcart Blues

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R15  Calexico - End of the World With You

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Since he’s been in the news a lot recently, for good reasons - here is looking at a long shot for the RnR HoF that it would be great to see get the nod.  Adding him would offset the lyrical cesspool of inducting Def Leppard.

Round 11 - John Prine - When I Get To Heaven

He’s not the Last Highwayman Standing, but the last putting out great material 

I was mindin' my own business, a-buzzin' 'round
My mind spinnin' faster than the speed of sound
And I was perfectly happy when I ran into her
But she complicated me and the way things were

Round 12 - Willie Nelson - She Made My Day

And to complete the old guy Singer-songwriter picks from me, an old punk rocker who has completed the pivot but still rocks it out every so often 

Round 13 - Alejandro Escovedo - Sonica USA

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I'm double dipping from this album. Took one in the mid-year as well.......

R16 Deeper - Should Be

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Round 15 - Amigo the Devil - If I'm Crazy

 

[Northern Voice]

Playlist and Google Doc up to date to here.

 

[Northern Voice]

Round 16 - King Princess - ##### is God

I've been praying for hours...

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Round 16 - Tune-Yards - Look at Your Hands

 

[Eephus]

Round 15 - Estrons  - Lilac

 

[Eephus]

Round 16 - Yuno - No Going Back
