12.ce - Paragraphs of Murder - Celph Titled

I have about 5 or 6 more rap songs that are all kind of neck and neck for me, none totally amazing, but I am going with this because I love this sample.

I first heard it like 10 years ago (?) on an Oh No album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPZC5esCJN8

Then Mos Def used in in Supermagic, along with a nice Malcom X sample at the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fleYGUH9SRk

I don't know if it was between those or after Supermagic that I found where the sample came from, Turkish folksinger Selda Bagcan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Ew6JzfZC8

Later, Dr. Dre used the sample in the track Issues, though that is seemingly impossible to share since he is all exclusive and it seems to be scrubbed from youtube.

Bagcan has acquired fame in Turkey with her political lyrics. A prominent figure of the '60s in Turkey, she made several trips to jail for a total of nearly five months for either singing in Kurdish or turning banned poems by Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet into song lyrics.

10 Sunday

'ndrangheta allotment... Meatraffle

 

[El Floppo]

Round 12: Pusha T featuring Ms Lauryn Hill - Coming Home

Might be my most listened to SOTY. Lauryn sounds great.

She redid one of her old tunes for a new movie...also sounds fantastic.

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

I just can't, in good conscience, allow another pick to be made without recognizing one of the better artist/albums of the year.  It's a travesty it's taken this long for one of her songs to be selected.  Without further adieu...

13.x - Cuz I Love You by Lizzo

J 

 

[JZilla]

I’m still drafting, just got busy.. owe four today!

 

[mphtrilogy]

gonna post two, missed last night's pm

here are two tracks I like from two old pros

the new pornographers /  falling down the stairs of your smile

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqDO6DWldpw

jenny lewis / wasted youth

[Jaysus]

jenny lewis / wasted youth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY8bdQRpmGU

The Jenny Lewis song from the mid-year draft was one of my favorites of the year

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

This song was originally released as a single over two years ago but was recently re-released as part of the bands first full album, so I'm counting it as a 2019 song.  I mean, I feel it's just as good now as it was when I first added it to my favorites in 2017, so why not?

14.x - Black Cat Heavy Metal by Dan Luke and the Raid

J

 

[landrys hat]

round 13 - Temples - You're Either On Something

round 14 - Altin Gün - Yolcu

 

[wazoo11]

I forget where I am drafting from

 

[D_House]

Round 13: Hatchie - Obsessed

This pick is from an artist I discovered in one of the ‘18 song drafts. Dream pop.

 

[El Floppo]

I forget where I am drafting from

Your phone?

 

[D_House]

Round 14: HAIM - Summer Girl

 

[JZilla]

For 11 & 12 I'm taking the two tracks I like from Josh Homme's Desert Sessions 11 & 12.  One is sung by Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears, the second is sung by Royal Blood's Mike Kerr.  I like the throwback QOTSA sound on these tunes

(11) Desert Sessions - Something You Can't See

(12) Desert Sessions - Crucifire

 

[JZilla]

(13) the best parkayquarts song of the year Iguana Death Cult - Nude Casino

(14) the rare rap pick by me, check how woke I am clipping. - Nothing Is Safe 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

13.wo - I'll Have What She's Having - Wooze

Because it's actually 1985, apparently.

 

[El Floppo]

11am... Turn away the bad thing- ceremony

11pm... Junkie logic- spike ####

 

[El Floppo]

12am... Morning is mended- Steve gunn

12pm...  Calm down aka I should not be alone- Ezra furman

Beck / Stratosphere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFknA30AbFM

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

Going with a couple of new tunes from established artists that sound like the kinds of songs that made you once really enjoy that artist.

15.x - Love Will Live by Melissa Etheridge

J

 

[Eephus]

13.ee - Domino - Corridor

 

[Eephus]

14.ee - Glorious - Sudan Archives

15.ee - Hypersonic Missiles - Sam Fender

 

[Eephus]

Anybody hear from NV?  How long are we doing this?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Anybody hear from NV?  How long are we doing this?

57 rounds, I think.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

ok, why not.  Selections from the 2 most-streamed artists of the year.  Seems appropriate.

14.bi - My Strange Addiction - Billie Eilish

15.po - Wow - Post Malone

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

Another (good) new song that reminds me of the artist's (good) old songs.

16.x - From Out of Nowhere by Jeff Lynne's ELO

J

 

[mphtrilogy]

I've heard this song for a bit all year, but now I know who sings it... great track

nilufer yanya / in your head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsxf541UI-8

I think this one was drafted in the mid-year draft

 

[JZilla]

Mellow covers 

(15) Luna - Something In The Air

spoiler - we didn't get it together then nor are we now

(16) Trampled by Turtles - Our Town

didn't know this was a cover when it first appeared in my RR but I like it.  From wiki-

DeMent was inspired to write her first song "Our Town" by a drive through a boarded-up Midwest town, at the age of 25. The song lyrics came to her "exactly as it is now", without need for re-writing, and she realized then that songwriting was her calling in life.

 

[Eephus]

I'm going to make one more pick and stop so I can listen more to the FFA collaborative playlist instead of trying to remember songs I liked this year.

 

[D_House]

Round 15: Jesse Mac Cormack - No Love Go

 

[landrys hat]

round 15 - Tyler Childers - Country Squire

round 16 - Neal Francis - She's a Winner

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Round 13

Wilco - Quiet Amplifier

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Round 14

John Vanderslice - I'll Wait For You

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

I'm going to 20, but these last few songs are going to be pulled from albums/artists that have already been posted (either here or in the mid-year draft).  Mainly other great songs from my AOTY contenders.

17.x - Elevate by DJ Khalil (feat. Denzel Curry, YBN Cordae, SwaVay & Trevor Rich)

Yes, it's a rap song about a super-hero.  Still kicks ###.

[The Dreaded Marco]

Thanks to @Northern Voicefor running this again. 
 

There was a lot more unfamiliar-to-me music taken in this one than in the first half of the year draft. Looking forward to listening to the playlist. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Anybody hear from NV?  How long are we doing this?

Yeah we can fold it up whenever. I am way behind obviously.
