Summerpalooza: Now at QB for the Buffalo Bills...Goo Goo Dolls (2 Viewers)

[El Floppo]

David Byrne started his music career in Baltimore County - maybe the individuals “origin” doesn’t count though and that only applies to the band?

i can repick if necessary 

wasn't trying to trip you up... just curious. I'm trying to be a bit more literal with my picks (outside of scottish kickers)- but have no skin in how you do yours.

speaking of...

was hoping somebody would become available from this state so I could draft this band (even if their releases this year aren't as good as their earlier stuff)-

dez bryant, okl state stillwater.... sandman, BRONCHO

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I didn't think so I was just thinking it through as I was going with the "origin" criteria and then realized that I would likely have need to take a solo Byrne song instead of a Heads song.

that's the way that makes sense for my method... but again, no worries.

Great band. 

 

[rockaction]

If anything, I've learned about where musicians have been born more than good football. Almost took Lamar Jackson today. I wonder if Lee Ranaldo was born in B'More so I could have taken Sonic Youth again

Jk, Ranaldo grew up in New Haven, something I know intimately well. 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I owe a couple songs for 2 Eagles:

The War on Drugs - Arms Like Boulders

Dr. Dog - The Rabbit, The Bat & The Reindeer

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I picked up the LA Clippers (or Chargers), so I get to pick a new song.

Dorothy -  Flawless

 

[El Floppo]

Great band. 

you haven't listened to their last two records, I take it.

 

[Eephus]

Added Packers DT/ST

Kings Go Forth -"One Day"  A sizzling platter of retro-soul from the 414 that came out in 2010 but sounds like it's been hidden in a crate of records for 40 years.

 

[Northern Voice]

Have we ever done a punk draft?

I don't remember one and Google can't find it if it happened.

I don't think we have. I'm thinking a fairly broad definition of punk (can include emo, pop-punk, ska etc...) with maybe some minimal requirements (everyone takes at least one song from 70s/80s/90s/00s to get some variation, maybe a required song from a female punk singer) but keep it fairly wide open, if we've really never done one, to get an ultimate FFA punk playlist.

I think I put a bid in on Moncrief... but jacksonville would've killed me for music. VERY cool to see chilton taken.

One of my favorites, and one of my favorites. 

I seriously love Nada Surf, TBO. Great picks for the week. 

I've got blonde on blonde/on my portable stereo

 

[Ilov80s]

I think I owe from a previous add.

WR Bills Zay Jones (East Carolina)

Not sure but if you did, I was not it. I would be. I wonder if @rockaction would be interested? Prolly not.

I'm trying not to drool in anticipation so much these days. 

Yeah, I'd sure be in. I've got bench picks, even.  

 

[Eephus]

A straight era and sub-genre based draft for Punk seems decidedly un-punk. 

I'll try to throw out some gimmicks for your consideration.

Hmmm...could be theme based as punk has some very common themes that re-occur

 

[Northern Voice]

I will co-ordinate a punk draft with any preferred format, BUT, I'd like to start it ASAP (Monday?), so that we can also do a 2018 year end song/review for album poll draft beginning late-November/early December.

Also, I'll need some help running things the week of Black Friday, because (according to my friends), I work for 'big coffee' and that week is important...

 

[rockaction]

Added:

Indianapolis D/ST

Song: 

Civilization's Dying - Zero Boys

Courtesy of the folks at Rhino Records to my ears, this was another punk rock track that resonated in my twenties.

What is up with this punk draft? Who should we signal

For what it's worth, a punk draft might get slim. I'd do a punk/hip hop draft if at all possible. One is great. The other is great. Combined, you have the potential for lethality. Just my two cents on the matter. (And because I like punk and hip hop, too. :sheepish

I like that idea, punk is a sate of mind  and not just a musical genre. What is the most punk rap song you like?        No Run the Jewels

It's a guy you took. Probably Ghostface's Shakey Dog off of Fishscale or Juelz Santana's Violence off of What The Game's Been Missing! 

Shakey Dog has probably always been my favorite since it came out.

Ghostface is so punk. I always took this as peak black punk.

Public Enemy was always political. They were like Crass, but maybe more groundbreaking with respect to the mainstream.

I just edited something -- but in spirit, it was right. Check this out. Chuck D ran a radio show at Adelphi. He was a like us. From wiki:

Early life:

Ridenhour was born in Queens, New York. He began writing rhymes after the New York City blackout of 1977. After graduating from Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School, he went to Adelphi University on Long Island to study graphic design, where he met William Drayton (Flavor Flav). He received a B.F.A. from Adelphi in 1984 and later received an honorary doctorate from Adelphi in 2013.

While at Adelphi, Ridenhour co-hosted hip hop radio show the Super Spectrum Mix Hour as Chuck D on Saturday nights at Long Island rock radio station WLIR, designed flyers for local hip-hop events, and drew a cartoon called Tales of the Skind for Adelphi student newspaper The Delphian.

Wife got too drunk and had to leave four song into their show last night. Dez Bryant destroys his leg first day of practice. Coincidence?

The team with the worse record will win 7 of 8 games this week. simey is the only exception.

[Ilov80s]

Oh man,, I owe some picks somewhere here

Yeah, you do, dude.  

I was looking at the list wondering about everybody keeping up with it. We're all trying to manage our teams off of a short waiver wire, never mind keeping up with the music. 

Kinda funny. I just took Cash's cover of Cave (I think) in desperation mode. I mean, I love the song, but I was twenty-three when I loved it.
