2022 FFA Mid Year Song Draft - Sign-up and Round 1 today (1 Viewer)

[Jaysus]

Good call on Wet Leg...I may even go back to them for another song. That album is clearly my favorite so far this year. 

It's #2 on my list right now

2 - Warpaint by Monophonics

 

[Chaos Commish]

That’s a snipe for me but there are plenty of additional great songs on the album to choose from.

Snipe here too. I listened to the album yesterday before picking what I did knowing there's plenty to choose from.

3. Bad Boy Chiller Crew - Don't You Worry About Me

Boys go loco, boys go savage
Boys go loco, boys go savage

Zero percent chance I'd be sniped on this, but hey, I wanted it to the front of the playlist.    I can't get enough of this song.  Constant rotation since it came out.

 

[Eephus]

2.ee - girlhouse - A Long December

Counting Crows cover

 

[Northern Voice]

This is a Canadian "supergroup" featuring Sam Roberts and the lead singers from Tokyo Police Club, Sloan and Hollerado.

I'm seeing Sam Roberts with his regular band tonight. I really like this song, big Canadian radio hit. 

2.NV - Reckless Reckless - Anyway Gang

 

[Eephus]

It was probably Fountains of Wayne. 

Sloan's multiple songwriters/singers has always been one of their defining characteristics for me.

 

[Ilov80s]

That’s a snipe for me but there are plenty of additional great songs on the album to choose from.

I totally missed that they released a new album this year. Huge miss by me. I take it this is another strong effort from them?

 

[Juxtatarot]

I totally missed that they released a new album this year. Huge miss by me. I take it this is another strong effort from them?

I only knew a few songs of theirs before listening to this album. I liked this one so much I went back and listened to the older ones. I like this one the best.

 

[Ilov80s]

That is exciting and quite high praise. I don't think they have missed yet. 

 

[Juxtatarot]

That is exciting and quite high praise. I don't think they have missed yet. 

20 songs too. All of quality. Some of the songs have more of a Bluegrass sound (perhaps that’s not the right term) but it all works for me.

 

[Juxtatarot]

3. This is a Photograph — Kevin Morby

I picked English groups in the first two rounds so I decided to go with something very American this time.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

3

Goodbye Mr. Blue - Father John Misty

 

[Northern Voice]

Sloan's multiple songwriters/singers has always been one of their defining characteristics for me.

It's true but the other bands that do this that are top of mind for me are all also Canadian - The New Pornographers, and the band I just drafted.

I guess there was some band in Liverpool that did this too. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I guess there was some band in Liverpool that did this too. 

Also The Band (mostly Canadian) and Drive-By Truckers (not Canadian).

 

[Eephus]

I guess there was some band in Liverpool that did this too. 

Teenage Fanclub did it a little further north

 

[Northern Voice]

Teenage Fanclub did it a little further north

Travelling Wilburys for (mostly) USA but I feel like they don't count. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Travelling Wilburys for (mostly) USA but I feel like they don't count. 

I know they're poison around here but The Eagles from the USA would count.

 

[Yo Mama]

Yo Mama’s afternoon pick:

3.YM - The Top Chefs - De La Soul

Pretty sure this is an homage to Parma Lakshmi  

I keep waiting for their old stuff to hit Spotify. 

 

[Ilov80s]

3.80s King of Sweden by Future Islands

And all went silent
Purples, violets
The kind of cursive quiet
One with the starry eyelids
A sweet unsweetened
An eve uneven
The lights trailed like incense
To the figure in the distance

 

[landrys hat]

3 - Wild by Spoon

 

[Pip's Invitation]

It's true but the other bands that do this that are top of mind for me are all also Canadian 

I will once again bring up Fanny.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

2. The Ick - Panic Shack

(you put the nail in the coffin)

 

[Eephus]

3.  Dazy & Militarie Gun - Pressure Cooker

Sounds like a mashup of Elastica, Beck, The Breeders and Black Grape, sort of

 

[Long Ball Larry]

3. Time Escaping - Big Thief

Another one off this album for the list.  I don't actually find any song on this album to be amazing, but it has a lot of really good songs and very consistent, so I want to pick one...

 

[Ilov80s]

3.  Dazy & Militarie Gun - Pressure Cooker

I choose to take the song literally and that he’s really running away from pressure cookers

The Instant Pots are attacking

 

[kupcho1]

Not sure how much I will be around today, and it is pretty close to Noon here, so.....

Great tune, but ...

oops

 

[Eephus]

Great tune, but ...

2022 album release

 

[Northern Voice]

I think I was in the audience for the world debut of this. I'm not specifically only picking songs from Canadian bands but I could easily go 20 deep if I did. 

3.NV - Night Vision - Kiwi Jr.

 

[Northern Voice]

Declaring the new Alvvays ineligible (for my own purposes) because July 5 is definitely 2nd half of the year.

 

[Eephus]

I will once again bring up Fanny.

Sir, this is a family show

 

[D_House]

Rd 1: Pusha T - Rock N Roll

Thanks for the @!

Only 2 songs picked so far are on my 2022 playlist so as usual there’ll be tons of great new-to-me stuff that I’ll be hearing thanks to you all.

 

[D_House]

Rd 2: The Regrettes - Barely on My Mind

 

[kupcho1]

Declaring the new Alvvays ineligible (for my own purposes) because July 5 is definitely 2nd half of the year.

Definitely looking forward to their release in October

 

[Chaos Commish]

3. RHCP - Black Summer

Yup. Sounded great coming from my neighbor's yard on the 4th. Pretty straighforward rock song from them.

 

[El Floppo]

2. The Ick - Panic Shack

(you put the nail in the coffin)

was going to take the Lighter song... I'M GONNA PIP YA!

 

[El Floppo]

in their very best New Order style...

2- A Place to Bury Strangers- Love Reaches Out

 

[kupcho1]

Ooooh, I like that.

 

[El Floppo]

3- Yeah Yeah Yeahs (w/ Perfume Genius)- Spitting off the Edge of the World

this one hit my in the nob right away. happy to hear them making new music again, of the anthemic variety.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Wow. Had to scratch 5 or 6 songs off my short list today. This is going to be a great playlist. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Rd 2: The Regrettes - Barely on My Mind

Huge snipe. Saw them a couple weekends ago. Amazing band.

[Northern Voice]

I'm seeing Sam Roberts with his regular band tonight. 

He was great. Huge crowd, I'll guess in the 7-9k range. Free concert but still great turnout for a Wednesday night. There's one pub on the concert grounds and I got our beer in there last week so we hung out there for the show. 

Missed both last week shows: The Spoons and Gowan. It's all very Canada...

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

3.  Porridge Radio - …Back to the Radio

[Yo Mama]

3- Yeah Yeah Yeahs (w/ Perfume Genius)- Spitting off the Edge of the World

Was going to make this my morning pick tomorrow. I Like this one. 

 

[Juxtatarot]

4. Little Things — Big Thief

I might end up double dipping from the album and it’s popular in here, so I’ll take a song now.

 

[kupcho1]

4. Rex Orange County - KEEP IT UP

I guess I'm blessed
I never give myself respect
Most my life, I'm asking why
But anytime I give it a try, I say

Keep it up and go on
You're only holding out for what you want
You no longer owe the strangers
It's enough, it's enough
