It's all good, I hate messing with the set-ups of these things. I will just go with rap even if I am not necessarily sure where the line between rap and trap always is.

I'm fine with going early if it's needed to get this thing kick-started but don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.
ETA: and I'll stick with my XX genre as well.

I can go if it moves the draft along and people want to start, wait if we want to wait.
I'm like a flexidisc. Or Dynaflex, if one will, Eephus.

Female? Dream pop? Such choices.

I probably would do better with more prep time, but, if you need peeps to fill the early kickoff, I can do that too.
I'm new to all of this, so a little extra time prolly won't make a huge difference. I'll just need to learn on the fly.
Looking forward to it.

It's a beautiful day in SF. I'm going to ride my bike to the beach and listen to this on shuffle. I'll work on the Google Sheet when I get back.

LOL - never done one of these before so of course I drew the 1.01.
I feel my first pick is going to set the direction for my entire playlist, and I'm not feeling an R&B / trap / jazz / classical lean right now. Also, with my home category coming up next round and me at the back, there's a (small) chance I could get sniped on this one if I wait.
I'll kick off with an anecdote: In 1996, while in college, I ground out an ambitious compilation of "The 100 Best Alternative Songs of All Time, 1976-1996". "Ambitious" because, for you millennials out there, (a) the medium of necessity back in the day was four Memorex 120-minute cassette tapes and (b) I had to beg, borrow, or steal the large minority of the 100 CDs' worth of source material I didn't own. It took about 2 months and I finished it on the last day of exams - just in time for Beach Week.
Fast-forward 10 years, when I decided to remix the compilation for the 1976-2006 period. Thanks to Limewire I now had access to basically every song in existence, but for all that I deemed only six singles from the 21st century worthy of inclusion on the revised 100. This was one of them.
Genre: Female
1.01 - Evanescence - "Bring Me To Life" (2003)

1.02 - Harlem Shake - Baauer
Did you start an international dance craze? That's all that needs to be said for this beat. Plus it'll start off the trap mix right as rain, IMHO. Let's go nuts in up in here.
El-P and Despot freestyle over the beat. (NSFW)
I'm going ham/I'm going cheese/I'm goin' bread
eta* Just reading this is awesome.

Went with "None of the Above". I think in the last 10-15 years there has been some great artists that convert songs I love into classical covers. I won't spotlight any of those artists but I can listen to this cover all day.
Genre - None of the Above
1.03 - Heart Shaped Box - Ramin Djawadi (2018)

1.05 Manu Chao- Mr. Bobby (other)
Changed to a different Manu song. This one seems really fitting to the crazy times we live in. We could use Bob Marley right now.

1.06 Leon Bridges- Coming Home (2015)
This song just has an old time feel and felt like a breath of fresh air when I first heard it.

Thank you. I just found my pick, so I'm good to go.
Round 1 - None of the Above (Classical)
Ennio Morricone - The Hateful Eight
I guess this counts as an Old Fart, too. He has had an amazing career.

Ok - I have my pick & don't know if I will be free later.Sorry, the categories threw me for a loop.Will have my pick in a few. Whoever's next can go if they're antsy.
Thus, I'll jump in now.
Category: R&B
1.xx Gnarles Barkley - Crazy
Anyone who knows me, knows why this is the perfect start for me.
@Adam Harstad played this for me in his car as we drove to his wedding cruise in '08.
I will never - ever - forget. It was at the lowest point of my mental stability in my entire life.
His family - who didn't know me from Adam....wait....
Well, they treated me like family. I love them all. And, I am now at the best mental state of my life.
Adam played a role in that.
Thnx Adam.
Next....

Nice story and great song. One tip for picks, we usually bold the selection so it stands out for those scanning through to see what’s taken.

I've forgotten from previous Palooza's----are we allowed to take 2 songs from the same category in back to back rounds? And if yes, does that include our home category in this draft?
Scott Tenorman
Footballguy
Love it. Was going to take another Bridges' song this round, but I'll switch to plan B.

Wait, so will this be the end for these categories, or will they possibly come around again?
