00's Mixtape Draft (2 Viewers)

[The Dreaded Marco]

Anyone PM JML?

I did. Did we decide on no clock for the first round?

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Hang on, just let me cacth up. WIll pick in 5

 

[Abrantes]

How are you supposed to quantify your favorite song of the past 10 years? ugh. I guess I just look at stuff that I like that I may be likely to get sniped on, and work backwards from there.

Yep, that's usually my approach too.

 

[Abrantes]

In it for totally selfish reasons.

I got turned on to a lot of great music in the 90's version. (Hey Abrantes! Show me a hero . . )

Am looking forward to the same result here.

 

[Northern Voice]

If you need a sub drafter for Facecow I'm available.

If you want in, you're on deck (after JML, before me).

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Phew, 3 of my high picks have been taken, but my No.1 is still there.




Could someone PM the next guy please

 

[Abrantes]

Forget what I said about overestimating how quickly the Radiohead songs would fly off the board, by the way.

 

[Northern Voice]

I PM'd The Future Champs, if he gets here in the next few minutes, we'll let him in, if not I'll make my pick.

 

[The Future Champs]

Sweet

The Hold Steady - Massive Nights

Wikipedia lists it at 2:54, but I don't think that's right

 

[Bonzai]

Had "One Big Holiday" ready to go as well. Some good picks here early on.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

You're ####ting me. How many millions of songs the past ten years??? My top three just went in the three picks directly before me. Impossible.

I'm going to need a minute to regroup. ####.

Guess I'll start out extremely mainstream...

1.07 Franz Ferdinand - "Take Me Out"

3:57 (96:03 remaining)

A) How is this extremely mainstream? It charted at 66 on BillboardB) This was my first major snipe. It was my 4th highest choice. Wish some of the other stuff fell to you.

[The Dreaded Marco]

Had "One Big Holiday" ready to go as well. Some good picks here early on.

I had the live version of Mahgeeta pencilled into my mix--Nigel nixed that for me.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

1.13 Green Day - "Jesus of Suburbia"

Time Used - 9:08

Time Remaining - 90:52

My 2nd major snipe. The 9 minutes would have been a killer, but it would have been worth it.

 

[Northern Voice]

1.20 - The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Had "One Big Holiday" ready to go as well. Some good picks here early on.

I had the live version of Mahgeeta pencilled into my mix--Nigel nixed that for me.

I know, it's great. For whatever reason, I usually go with studio versions of tunes on playlists and whatnot. Not sure why.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Well, I thought about what my favorite song of the decade is, and I guess this is it.

1.15 Muse - New Born (6:03)

No video, but here's the song. Muse really broke out artistically with this, the lead track on their second album, which was DUMPED by Madonna's label for not being radio-friendly enough, and wasn't even released in the US until after their third album. A little proggy, a little wanky, but I still think this tune totally smokes.

Nice!. Compared to a lot of the other picks so far, it's mainstream.In my top 10 tracks for this band.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

- You do NOT have to draft them in order of how they will appear on your tape.

Quick question, for this mix tape, does my first pick become my "opening track?"

Whoops. Sorry. And thanks.1.17 Outkast, "Hey Ya!"

Nice. Didn't think it would be on anyones radar this high.Krippling over.

 

[Northern Voice]

I have to step out for a bit:

1.21 - tyler_cracker - -

1.22 - D_House - -

1.23 - Professor S - -

1.24 - Eephus - -

1.25 - Bonzai - -

2.01 - Bonzai - -

2.02 - Eephus - -

2.03 - Professor S - -

2.04 - D_House - -

I knew it, all you dorks share one brain

all the picks I was considering yesterday before trading out of 1.01 are still available

 

[Bonzai]

1.20 - The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies)

Wanted this one too. ####.

I know, it's great. For whatever reason, I usually go with studio versions of tunes on playlists and whatnot. Not sure why.

I usually do too but with MMJ I think the live versions are usually better---can't go wrong with either, though.

This might be the last song I pick that anybody else has ever heard of. I'm not kidding.

Relatively speaking I guess.

1.12 Wilco--Ashes of American Flags 2002 4:44

LOOK AT ME! I LISTEN TO UNPOPULAR MUSIC!

 

[valence]

1.13 Green Day - "Jesus of Suburbia"

Time Used - 9:08

Time Remaining - 90:52

My 2nd major snipe. The 9 minutes would have been a killer, but it would have been worth it.

had this one slated for round 3. I thought it might last because of the timesink but guess I was wrong. Great, great tune.

 

[Bonzai]

Only becuase Rush's best stuff was in the 70s and 80s, right?

that would be quite an acomplishment with this group. Looking forward to see what you do.

1.07 Franz Ferdinand - "Take Me Out"

3:57 (96:03 remaining)

A) How is this extremely mainstream? It charted at 66 on Billboard

It was used in commercials and as bumper music all over the place for 2 or 3 years and is one of the most recognizable hooks of the decade IMO. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_Out_%...n_popular_media

Agreed. It'll be one of the most mainstream songs taken.

1.17 Outkast, "Hey Ya!"

Nice. Didn't think it would be on anyones radar this high.

I would've been surprised if it didn't go in the first round. It was virtually inescapable for a good while.

Maybe that's an exaggeration. It's pretty mainstream, though, imo.

Yeah, it got waaaay overplayed for a while, even for someone like me who loves the idea of the universality of pop music. The burnout eventually wore off and now when I hear Hey Ya, it's like meeting up with an old friend.

[tyler_cracker]

sorry guys. my slot came up of course right as i stepped out to lunch with by boss :|.

1.21 Radiohead - Where I End And You Begin (The Sky Is Falling In) (4:29)

95:31 remaining

and i believe Radiohead is now closed. it was a close decision between this track and "National Anthem" (though i really wanted "there there"; f u val ).

 

[Abrantes]

If I could've taken the first 3:30 of "Motion Picture Soundtrack", that might have been the Radiohead song I'd pick, probably used as my closer. Alas, I want no part of the second half of the song.
