00's Mixtape Draft (1 Viewer)

wow i did not expect an SFA pick so early. i love how that song is like the beach boys on acid. nice work, bulldog.

 

[Professor S]

Alright, a pick way too early for this crowd here, and I'm sure I'll get ridiculed mercilessly here for it, but I think it's one of the great pop songs of the past decade, and really separated this man from the boy bands and set him on a path to superstardom. With all respects to several artists who have not been drafted yet (so I refuse to spotlight) he's the closest thing we have in the entertainment business to Michael Jackson (the early 80's pop star, not the creepy older child molester):

I realize my picks are all incredibly "pop" right now. That will eventually change . . . most of the stuff on my list that wasn't a huge pop hit is most likely nowhere near anyone else's radar. We'll see.

cry me a riiiiiiiverrrrrrrr

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I don't really listen to him, but I respect J-Timbs as an artist.

I'll be on and off throughout the day, but I'd like to shoot a PM out there just to be safe. Any takers?

Hi.

 

[tyler_cracker]

wow *and* a gomez song. apparently the board woke up this morning and said, "TODAY IS BRITPOP DAY."

excellent track. hard to hate anything with a beastie boys sample in it.

 

[AcerFC]

I like J Tim

 

[Bonzai]

Lump Sum - Bon Iver 3:21

Hopeless - The Wrens 5:08

"Hopeless" was one of the first tunes I penciled in for my mix. Really hits the spot.

I hear the Wrens are coming out with a new one soon. Meadowlands blew me away.

Yeah, it's been in the works for forever. I think it's supposed to be out this summer. Hope the follow through.

4.14 - Gordon Brown

 

[Professor S]

Absolutely love the crazed passion in this song. I think most can relate his state of mind in this song . . . it's happened to all of us at least once.

ETA: There's a better version of this video out there that's a more literal interpretation of the lyrics as opposed to just a performance video. Couldn't find it quickly on teh Youtubes though.

 

[D_House]

NM made it in time.8.04 Mark Ronson (ft. Amy Winehouse) -


(3:39)More Britpop. From Wiki: "The song peaked at number two in the UK, upon its October single release."

This was on Ronson's album, but Winehouse is the featured player here. Nice vocals and the song is catchy as hell.

Valerie is a cover of a Zutons song. I like the original better.

hypothetical question: Is the Zutons version still eligible?

That is a hell of a question. By the rules, I would have to say yes it is.

 

[Jethro Q. Walrustitty]

A little surprised "The Underdog" wasn't picked in the Spoon category. Love that song, and the video makes me chuckle.

Never seen the vid, I don't guess.

 

[Northern Voice]

One of the best concerts I saw in the 00s was these guys in a tiny pub in my hometown. This song has great potential as a mix closer (even though it opens up their album). They have a couple songs I'd consider but this one is a bit shorter and according to my itunes, my most played.

8.06 - Plants and Animals - Bye Bye Bye (3:38)

I almost took it.

I think past mixtape drafts have operated under the "once one version's taken, all others are off the board" rule, but that never made much sense to me. I'd say it's still eligible.

I agree with Abrantes.

Yeah a cover version by a different artist is okay by me. One version by the original artist = all other versions by that artist are gone.
