Think I owe 14 and 15 rounds

14.29A

The Nails - Home Of The Brave - 1984

And the jukebox plays, apocalyptic beebop

This was the mystery song of my youth. Heard it on a mix tape that a friend got from a friend who got it from a friend and spent years tracking it down. Don't even know how I found it, but the group message that went out to all of my high school friends with a I FOUND IT! was my proudest Texting moment, if you can have such a thing

14.29B

Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue - 1969

HOW DO YOU DO?

Round 15.2a

The Animals - We Got To Get Out Of This Place - 1965

This will be fitting in time. Desert Island, losing my marbles, imaginary friend / insanity polluting what's left of my feeble mind.

15.2b

Jimi Hendrix Experience - The Wind Cries Mary - 1967

I'll be that king somewhere with no wife.

16b - Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star - "Definition" (1998)

No way I wasn't taking something off this album.  I can't remember if I picked this one in a different draft so let's go.  Personally, one of the most influential albums of my life.

Yo, from the first to the last of it, delivery is passionate
The whole an' not the half of it, forecast and aftermath of it
Projectile that them blasted with, accurate assassin ####
Me an' Kweli close like Bethlehem and Nazareth

After this you be pressin' rewind on top your master disk
Shinin' like an asterisk, for all those that be gatherin'
Connectin' like a round house, from the townhouse to the tenements
'Cause all my Brooklyn residents, all the heavy regiments

Don't believe, here the evidence, where Brooklyn? (whoaaaaa)

See that?
Bound to take it all kid, believe that
From where they sellin' tree at, to where the police be at
Talib Kweli, E.Kwelity, yo' tell them where we be at

:thumbup:  That album is killer, but tough to pick just one song.

Spotlighting, yadda yadda whatever, but:

Not strong, only aggressive cause the power ain't directed
That's why we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
Not free, we only licensed, not live, we just exciting
Cause the captors own the masters to what we writing
Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game
Not good, but well behaved cause the camera survey
Most of the things that we think, do or say

I guess it's time to get my Radiohead pick out of the way - unless I go the PIK route and grab another.  Probably not the song people would be expecting to be taken, but I am sticking with my theme of taking songs that mean something/are my favorites.  This song does all - means something, and is my favorite song off my favorite RH album.

18th(b):  RADIOHEAD - Black Star (1995)

Is the board being upgraded more or is this the final product? Anyone know how to show more posts per/page?

From my understanding, upgrade goes in and everything forward reflects upgrade. Slowly, painfully slowly, it will implement the changes to the backdated posts over time.

 
Since it's a new page, let's talk about mulligans.  I promised these at the end of the draft to keep people from changing picks early and making the draft more confusing than it already is.  Thanks to everyone for keeping to that rule.   I realize people made picks early and found a better song or something that fit their theme better for that year.  But to preserve the integrity of the draft, I'm proposing we limit mulligans to a manageable number.  

Is anybody going to have a problem with TWO mulligans?

Before you answer, there's no reason why this couldn't be an annual event.  2016 will roll in and 1966 goes away and you can start with a completely clean slate next year.

 
I had the spotify mega juke on in the background most of the day yesterday. Whoever said that tim's songs stick out like a sore thumb was spot on.  :lmao:

No hate here, to each their own. It's completely true though!

 
I might be too dumb for this new board. Whenever I hit the quote button to reply it gives me a quote box with nothing in it. Maybe it hates Chrome?

 
17b - Whitney Houston - "How Will I Know?" (1985)

####### love me some Whitney.  This is not my favorite Whitney song but my other favorites are in years when I had other songs in mind.  Gonna give Tim a run for his money with some classic 80s pop.  And damn she looks good in this video.  Another surefire hit to get the women in my imaginary bar dancing.

Bonus points for picking both Whitney and Bobby on the same mix.

 
Anyone have a cool home theatre/speaker setup they would recommend?  I need to upgrade basically everything I have. Right now I have:

Downstairs - hooked up to TV: Extremely old Sony DVD player that came with 5.1 surround - this is one of those DVD and theatres in a box that likely only cost $199 new and that was 10 years ago. Sound isn't very good - My TV also needs replacing, it's about 8 years old but the greys are no good and it's starting to get cloudy around the edges/

Upstairs in my music room/office/dog's room, I have an older Sony receiver and two 4 foot tall Polk Audio speakers (these I inherited from my dad). I use this receiver to listen to my iPod and turntable, but they're in my office and not at all portable or wireless. I believe the receiver was a high end one but is old to the point that there are no HDMI input/outputs. A lot of the times I use this to listen to music upstairs - I just put one of the big speakers in the doorway and blast it out.

I also have a "wireless speaker" that is not bluetooth, it has a little dongle thing that plugs into my iPod and then it transmits wirelessly to the speaker. This is the most portable speaker I have but it still requires to be plugged in - right now I move it all over the house or outside depending where I want to be listening, which is a pain.

Basically, I want better speakers for my television, a more portable way of listening to music in different rooms of the house and also outside. I'm thinking for downstairs I could go the sound bar route, and this would be able to talk to my TV and bluetooth devices (i.e. Spotify on my phone), but I'd also need to ensure it has a Aux input for my Ipod. That still would leave outside and upstairs. Would it make sense to get a receiver somewhere and then speakers all over the house and outside that are all run through a central source?  This is how it was in my parents house, but that was before the days of bluetooth and always having a phone in my pocket.

What about the Amazon Echo, or other bluetooth speakers?  Is it just as simple as having bluetooth speakers in the areas I want them and selectinh which one(s) I want active from my phone?

Anything simpler, or that I'm missing?
