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

[KarmaPolice]

I need more music in my life.  Only about 8,900 minutes this year.  Top bands - Chrvches, Radiohead, Talking Heads, Van Halen, and Queen.   Last 2 are because of my daughter's playlist, as are the top songs:  We Will Rock You, HandClap, Jump, Waste a Moment, and Freya.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

I can't say for sure, but mine looked way to death-metally for me.  Lots of band names containing demon or destroyer or odin

I think you just got linked to my main playlist then.  

 

[Long Ball Larry]

I spent 38, 511 minutes listening to music

Top artist: Manchester Orchestra

59% non-mainstream artists, whatever that means

52,213

Top Artist: Jedi Mind Tricks

non-mainstream artists 117% more than the average listener

I do like this tastebreakers idea.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Round 6:  Sports Team - Camel Crew

Round 7:  Thom Yorke - Suspirium

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Since I was talking with @rockaction  about modern rap/what teens listen to, here is a tribute to 2 of the better ones that passed away this year. XXX sampled a Lil Peep song as a tribute to him after Peep died. By the time the song was finished and released, XXX was also dead. 

Rd 7 Falling Down by Lil Peep and XXXtentacion

it is a pretty good song.  my daughter (13) played it almost every day in the car for like a month.  She started getting into both of them this year and then they both died.  hit her pretty hard actually.

 

[Northern Voice]

Getting caught up now. GB @Steve Tasker texted me about this band this afternoon and they also announced a show in my little 70,000 population town... its a sign (also I draft them every time).

Round 7 - Tokyo Police Club - Simple Dude

 

[Long Ball Larry]

6.x - Jape - Floating

7.x - Marlowe - Lost Arts

 

[Northern Voice]

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.

J

We need a 'just hook it to my veins' emoji.

 

[Northern Voice]

a good rollicking tune that isn't too angry/hard and isn't too poppy. just right bear.

6- this dance- drenge

This sounds straight off of Whatever people say I am... That's what I am not.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Thanks for the shout. I listened to that. Then started listening to "Runaway" from Lil Peep and thought "that's just auto-tuned R&B with that sort of dank trap sound." Am I wrong on that? That doesn't even sound like they're rapping. Then I scanned "Broken Smile" and realized, "yeah, this is trap auto-tuned R&B." No surprise teens listen to this by the way. R&B was huge when I was a teen.  

Have you heard the Malibu Ken single Acid King?

 

[rockaction]

Have you heard the Malibu Ken single Acid King?

No, but I'll give it a whirl. 

Malibu Ken? 

 

[Northern Voice]

Round 6:  Foxing - Nearer My God

This record was a grower.  I listened to it when they were coming to town and didn't like it enough to go to the show.  I returned to the album after hearing this song on the radio but their concert had already come and gone.  Their sound has a classic rock grandeur to it that's kind of uncommon nowadays.

I like this song and I like this band when I listen to them. Their album is too long. 

 

[rockaction]

Have you heard the Malibu Ken single Acid King?

Oh wow. Thanks for the shout and the news. 

I'd need a lyric sheet. Don't know how I feel about the production. It's very interesting. It's growing on me. Third time coming up. I love Aesop's flow, though he is destined to never break, sadly, but that's his choice. 

I am now nearly physically ill.from watching the video, though. 

eta* The song, according YouTube comments is about this:

Richard Allan "Ricky" Kasso Jr. (March 29, 1967 – July 7, 1984) murdered his 17-year-old friend Gary Lauwers in Northport, New York, on June 19, 1984. Two other teens, Jimmy Troiano and Albert Quinones, were present at the murder, which took place in the Aztakea Woods of Northport while all four were high on what they believed to be mescaline, but was most likely LSD. The murder became sensational news in New York City and across the nation due to the alleged torture of Lauwers and supposed occult aspects of the murder. The murder took place during a period when there was much public concern over the effects of Satanic and occult content in heavy metal music and in role-playing games. Kasso was wearing an AC/DC T-shirt at the time of his arrest and was a fan of groups such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Ozzy Osbourne.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think Aesop is from Northpoint. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Round 7 - Old Crow Medicine Show - Flicker and Shine

Suck it hippies. 

ALL TOGETHER
WE FALL TOGETHER
WE RIDE TOGETHER
WE WILD TOGETHER
YES ALL TOGETHER
WE FALL TOGETHER
EVERY LITTLE LIGHT WILL FLICKER AND SHINE

 

[Northern Voice]

ain't no party like a coltrane party. unless it's a no-all-caps ron gallo party. it's a bizarre and really fun album- much more varied than heavy meta, which I loved.

7- love supreme (work together)- ron gallo

Heavy Meta was too meta for me.

Sorry, you know what, I never even watched the video, but now I get the face-melting description

 

[rockaction]

Nah, no sweat. I shut it off/scrolled down as soon as the worms started coming and then went back and watched it of my own volition. I knew it'd be bad as soon as that started happening. 

eta* Thanks for the link, actually. That was cool to hear the song.  

 

[Northern Voice]

Rd Seven - The Regrettes - Come Through

Snipe pick.  I believe I saw someone took another of this bands songs in the mid-year.  I like that song, too, but I like this one more.

J

This was the most punk show I saw at Bonnaroo. The lead singer was losing her voice, so it was like a 25 minute set and they were on the tiny tiny stage near the big beer tent. No one else came with me to see them but it was the most intense show, moshing included, of the weekend. Love them and this is probably my favourite song of theirs.

I just picked them in the music draft. I took "Hey Now"

eta* The song "Hot" is intense. I thought they were pleasant power pop, then I heard that song and was reminded of Kim Shattuck of the Muffs, 

 

[Northern Voice]

Round 7:  Suede (still The London Suede here) - Life Is Golden

The mix didn't have enough Power Ballads.

This will pair very well with a song I plan on taking later on...

I do?  I am an eager drafter, that's for sure. Usually, I'm actually the guy who doesn't understand the rules. I need all caps.

Rd 8: Pick Up by DJ Koze

happy Friday 

 

[Ilov80s]

it is a pretty good song.  my daughter (13) played it almost every day in the car for like a month.  She started getting into both of them this year and then they both died.  hit her pretty hard actually.

Yeah there are a lot of kids at school that really huge fans-especially of XXX and think he's a legend that will live on forever. I'm not sure about that but he definitely made a huge impact on a lot of young people in a very short time. That song in particular is meaningful as it's basically the last thing either of them recorded. Peep recorded the chorus as part of a new project and died leaving it unfinished. XXX hooked up with the producer, added a verse and died before it was completed. 

 

[Jaysus]

Round 8 : Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Fever Pitch

This is one of those albums I find myself playing on repeat...

 

[JZilla]

Woke up and logged in just to see the name of another band on my shortlist, this time in the albums thread

8.x Yak - Bellyache

tastes like MONAYYY

 

[Northern Voice]

This is basically an 80's U2 arena ballad and that's perfectly fine by me.

Round 8 - Arkells - Show Me Don't Tell Me

You said, "Show me, don't tell me
'cause I miss you completely"
This time I ain't bluffing
You're always my number one

 

[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

6- this dance- drenge

7- love supreme (work together)- ron gallo

the rest of the picks are going to be really hard- a lot of tunes I like- how much depends on my mood in the moment.

another aussie aussie aussie oi oi vey band. was about take more of a drunken 3 chord group of dip####s from melbourne, but will go with these pscyh guys with the titilating name. I like the way the song builds and it's got some radioheady moments (in a good way) with the harmonies and guitar spazz outs.

8- you let my tyres down- tropical #### (f word! so shocking!) storm.

This is the Drones dude, I only just recently discovered

was looking at a Drones tune for this... but it was a remix, which I go back and forth about counting.

eta: also had no idea it was the same dude.

8.x Yak - Bellyache

the yak I mentioned in the album thread is not the yak you are looking for :waveshand:

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

Rd One - Royce da 5'9" - Caterpillar ft. Eminem, King Green

Rd Two - The Beths - Not Running

Rd Three - King Buffalo - Repeater

Rd Four - Caroline Rose - "Soul No. 5"

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

Rd Six - The Frights - "CRUTCH"

Rd Seven - The Regrettes - Come Through

Starting to lose track of my picks.  @El Floppo had it right with the nested quotes so I went back and quoted and cleaned up my picks for an easier reference.

I'm reaching on this selection.  It's probably not worth an 8th round pick, but I'm taking it here anyway cause it's a good Friday song to get your weekend started.  Saw the film "Sorry to Bother You" this summer and this song from the soundtrack jumped out at me.  TGIF, fellas!

Rd Eight - The Coup - OYAHYTT (feat. Lakeith Stanfield)

J

Round 8 : Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Fever Pitch

This is one of those albums I find myself playing on repeat...

aaagh, i kept waiting on this exact track because...

well i'm not sure exactly why, other than the fact that RKS was taken in the mid-year draft i guess.  shoulda woulda coulda.

Sunshine Frisbee Laserbeam is still available if you want another band with a totally super awesome name!

Gareth's voice is pretty distinctive

not happy that I can't respond indignantly, then pick Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, as they only released 2 songs this year and they're kind of meh.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

8.x - billie eilish - you should see me in a crown

not exactly off the radar, but i think that this girl is super talented and very young and has the potential to do anything in the future.

[mphtrilogy]

Edit, didn’t realize only one pick today, let’s go with Brandi

very happy to see Brandi Carlile finally get a ton of recognition with today's grammy's, although I'm not big on the grammy's anyway, I am happy for her.  Although its not her best record imho, it's got some wonderful moments including this nominated tune

Your daughter get your listening to her?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Maybe...

spotify describes eilish as America’s moodiest teen.  Though I’m pretty sure my daughter could give her a run for her money.

My friend is deathly scared of spiders. Haven't talked in months. Thanks for the icebreaker.  Oh God. Oh Dear God.

Rd 8 - 1010 Benja SL - Ultimaybe

Local college radio find.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

R8  The Glands - Possibilities

I commented in the album thread about my love for this band.  Their self-titled album from 2000 is a favorite of mine.  This album is comprised of 23 unreleased/b-sides curated by band members after the lead singer/songwriter died of cancer two years ago.  It's actually quite good and would've been excellent if they had pared it down to an LP.  Still love hearing all of it though.
