2018 Song Draft - Post Round 19/20 Picks any time today. (1 Viewer)

[Northern Voice]

Since we're talking about the mid-year draft, I'm kind of amazed that my first round pick there (a song by Lucy Dacus) has now been listed as the #2 song of the year by both NPR and Paste on their year end lists. It still feels under the radar to me.

 

[El Floppo]

Parquet Courts are in Toronto tonight :(

They're playing around the corner from me this weekend. Tempted.

 

[El Floppo]

I'm expecting this to win the 2018 Album Poll...

all because of those astonishing backing vocals- I completely agree!

 

[Jaysus]

Round 5 - Super City - Sanctuary

 

[El Floppo]

3- I woke up in a ####ed up america- Lonnie Holley

4- freebird ll- floppinho's parquet courts

aussie aussie aussie oy boy etc. so many good things coming out of there and nz the last couple years... will probably have some more coming up. one of my faves... also not all-caps.

5- bible camp- west thebarton

 

[JZilla]

I like the nested quotes idea.  It's too late for me.  BTW have some Shame   (not a pick, prob not a spotlight)

---------

I liked these guys' sound already.  They added a keyboardist and it's like a whole nother level

Both tracks on this single are equally righteous

5.x The Orielles - Bobbi's Second World

 

[Northern Voice]

I don't know what to do with one song that I think might be objectively awful but I hear it once and it's stuck in my head for days and I want to keep listening to it but I still think it might be bad but I might also love it.

I want to hear it now: draft it. 

I'm sorry/you're welcome

Round 5 - The Glorious Sons - Sawed Off Shotgun (S.O.S.)

 

[Jaysus]

I'm sorry/you're welcome

40 seconds in and I am already hooked....

Round 5 - The Glorious Sons - Sawed Off Shotgun (S.O.S.)

I have a #metoo styled song kinda like this (in terms of my not being sure if it's terrible or incredible). will probably draft it tomorrow.

RD 5 - PM

Elvis Costello has returned with his best record in 20 years, flashes of brilliance in the Imperial Bedroom mode, had to get it on CD and Vinyl.. has been in heavy rotation since it was released a few mos ago...

Here's a beauty:

Don't Look Now by Elvis Costello and the Imposters...

Rd Five - PRhyme - Sunflower Seeds (feat. Novel & Summer of '96)

I'll admit I picked up on this album from the "Best Albums of 2018" thread.  This song immediately hooked me, which lead me to research the artist a bit more and discover he had released his own album.  That lead me to my Rd One selection in this draft.  Prior to "Caterpillar", this was my fave rap/hip-hop song of 2018.

Laid back.

[Ilov80s]

Rd 5: 2 Down 2 Dance by Sorry

 

[Eephus]

Round 4:  Fatherson - Making Waves

Three Scotsmen walk into a bar...

Cool.  I'm pretty sure I pimped the PRhyme record in that thread

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R4  77:78 - Love Said (Let's Go)

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R5  The Goon Sax - Love Lost

 

[KarmaPolice]

Since we're talking about the mid-year draft, I'm kind of amazed that my first round pick there (a song by Lucy Dacus) has now been listed as the #2 song of the year by both NPR and Paste on their year end lists. It still feels under the radar to me.

It was what I thought about taking with my last pick. 

 

[D_House]

Rd 5 The Internet - Come Over

 

[El Floppo]

R4  77:78 - Love Said (Let's Go)

don't know these guys... really like it. 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

don't know these guys... really like it. 

Two former members the Bees.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

Really like the whole album here.  There's an interesting mix of different styles on the album, but the opener hooked me and it's a song from the summer that I keep going back to over again. 

Round 5:  Phantastic Ferniture - Uncomfortable Teenager

 

[Eephus]

Round 5:  Hatchie - Try

draft regulars know I get off on song construction.  The song sounds so simple and gorgeous but she throws in a lovely pre-chorus after the second verse to raise the tension and a bridge to die for.

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Just about that time for two from me

Gonna play that one word song title game

To keep it fresh, the genre ain’t the same

So you’re lucky they both won’t be country

Round 4 - Cardi B - Money (Spotify link)

I like this one better than “I Like It” and it seems like she’s going to make a lot of it in the coming years.

Round 5 - Kacey Musgraves - Butterflies (Spotify link)

A repeat album from my mid-year selections, but a different song.  Honestly, I could take about a dozen songs off this great album.

 

[El Floppo]

Two former members the Bees.  

Ah...thanks. them I know and like.

 

[rockaction]

Cool.  I'm pretty sure I pimped the PRhyme record in that thread

That was you.  

 

[Long Ball Larry]

5.x - Run the Jewels - Let's Go (The Royal We)

 

[Northern Voice]

R3  Wand - I Will Keep You Up

dammit- missed this. I was going to take Pure Romance, but am happy wand will be represented.

Is the Wand album from last year as good as this years EP is?

Top of my head I remember the album Golem being really good. Would have to check the Spotify to see if that's from last year

 

[Eephus]

That was you.  

The OG

 

[Northern Voice]

Playlist and all picks up to date . 

 

[El Floppo]

Ok...just googled- last year was Plum. Also good.

Rd 6 - Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - Talking Straight

I believe @Northern Voice picked Air-Conditioned Man during the mid-year draft. That got in my head enough that I searched out the album and it’s solid with Talking Straight being another highlight. Reminiscent of the kind of melodic, jangly, 60s-referencing college rock of the 80s and early 90s. Also the lead singer on this one sound like early Jagger.

 

[mphtrilogy]

Rd 6 Love this record from Middle Kids

a great track from the record

Mistake

[steelcitysledgehammers]

Rd Six - The Frights - "CRUTCH"

I struggled to pick the "best" song off their new album.  It was between this and "Pills".  Another album that's entirely listenable.

[Northern Voice]

So far it looks like this is just a one off single, haven't seen any word on a new album. Anyway, it's great. 

Round 6 - Charly Bliss - Heaven

 

[El Floppo]

1- never fight a man with a perm- IDLES

2- boys in the better land- FONTAINES D.C.

3- I woke up in a ####ed up america- Lonnie Holley

4- freebird ll- floppinho's parquet courts

5- bible camp- west thebarton
