13. J

Elton John Cena - Try

 

[Northern Voice]

A song from this album was already taken, I don't care.

Round 13 - Kids - PUP

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

A song from this album was already taken, I don't care.

I'm with you there.  I've done my best to avoid doubling up on artists/albums that have already been selected, but I'm getting to the point in my playlist where I'm ignoring songs I enjoy MUCH more just to remain unique.  I'm fairly certain my remaining picks are going to come from albums that have already been mentioned.

With that said, this pick should come as a surprise to no one.

13.xx - PROMISE ME by Badflower

Wasn't one of my faves after the first few listens.  It's probably the most "pop-y" of their songs.  That said, the lyrics hit me right in the feels every time I listen to it.

Round 13 - Kids - PUP

The rest of my picks are all going to be from that album anyway

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Lucky 13 - Moon - ALASKALASKA

 

[Eephus]

I might have been the second. A while ago. I read a bit about Empath because of Eephus. They apparently arose from the ashes of the CNY punk outfit Perfect P____ and formed a band with differing influences but with a similar sociopolitical bent. That's all I remember. 

Crosby Nash & Young?

 

[rockaction]

Crosby Nash & Young?

Central New York. Sorry. I went to school there. That's what we called the expanse between New York City and Upstate NY.  

 

[El Floppo]

although I figured it had something to do with NY, I also read it like eephus.

I can see that. 'Tis a music draft and all...

 

[Chaos Commish]

13. Of Monsters and Men - Alligator

 

[Eephus]

I think I owe two.  Got tied up with Mrs. Eephus birthday festivities.

11 - Strand of Oaks - Weird Ways

I draft him in every draft

 

[Eephus]

From what I've shuffled through the list so far, this song will fit in the mix

12 - Stef Chura - Method Man

 

[Eephus]

I'm kind of shocked no songs from this album have been picked yet.

Round 10 - Rylan - The National

I thought somebody took a national song...

The album has been a grower for me.  I was more puzzled than anything the first time through.  It's like this year's Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino.

 

[Ilov80s]

That was all really well-played. 

He’s been killing this draft and I’m not sure I’ve listened to any of these songs. His choices are too inspired to let the song quality get in the way.

 

[Eephus]

Yeah one pick any time. 

I ate a gummy bear Friday night and spent the hours since recovering . Maybe this belongs in the reasons I'm old thread

If you were really old, you would have also lost a filling eating the gummy

 

[Eephus]

For the football league, are we doing the same 2xQB, Superflex business again?

 

[Eephus]

13. Of Monsters and Men - Alligator

I've been impressed by the quality of videos produced this year; many by artists who are working on an indie budget. 

 

[rockaction]

For the football league, are we doing the same 2xQB, Superflex business again?

I think NV commishes those decisions. If the league will have me, I'm just putting my head down and showing up for Sundays.  

 

[Chaos Commish]

I've been impressed by the quality of videos produced this year; many by artists who are working on an indie budget. 

I almost draft a song with the first comment being: "How much do we have for the video?" "13.48 and Alan will dance."

 

[D_House]

Rd 13: joan - drive all night

 

[Northern Voice]

For the football league, are we doing the same 2xQB, Superflex business again?

I think yes, if we have a large number of people in again.

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Round 13

Weyes Blood - Andromeda

1970's AM rock nostalgia is ruling my 2019 playlist....this woman is fantastic.  

 

[El Floppo]

13 I heard a cry- calva louise

14 this dance- drenge

 

[El Floppo]

and I would've taken this at #1 if it was an actual single

the streets mashup- IDLES

 

[Jaysus]

needs more heart attacks... and low budget videos

14.j Heart Attack Man - Fake Blood

P.S. not sure how long this is going to last, but I have to bow out after tomorrow as I am going away after that and have no intention of turning on the internet while I am gone. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Yeah I think we'll wrap it up with round 15 tomorrow, we can keep the thread going with honourable mentions beyond that.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

13 I heard a cry- calva louise

14 this dance- drenge

Aargh...I was going to go with that Drenhe song or another on with these last two picks.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

14.92 - Strong - The Bamboos

not something I expected from the bamboos but maybe I don’t really know their whole catalogue.

 

[El Floppo]

Aargh...I was going to go with that Drenhe song or another on with these last two picks.

just means you get an extra song to pick, while still getting your song in the mix. win/win.

i know, but i don't really like the sloppy seconds...

this dance and a few others on this new album seem like a quite a departure.  they must have been hanging around with their post-punk/hardcore isles brethren a lot either physically or in spirity...

was looking at never see the signs too. you too, probably. 

tbh, if I had known it was penultimate round, I may have gone a different direction... still a lot of tunes left- will be hard to narrow it down to that last one. fwiw... my draft playlist.

and I love the sloppy seconds here- if more of you take the songs I was going to take, I get more songs that I like to have in the mix.

 

[Northern Voice]

Round 14 - Fire Walk With Me - The Black Keys

 

[D_House]

Rd 14: Middle Kids - Real Thing

Another band I discovered in prior drafts.

 

[Eephus]

13 - pronoun - wrong

all lower case pop

 

[Eephus]

14 - Finn Andrews - One By The Venom

Cheerful little ditty

 

[Eephus]

and I would've taken this at #1 if it was an actual single

the streets mashup- IDLES

The Streets' Sunday night Glastonbury performance

You probably had to be there

 

[El Floppo]

The Streets' Sunday night Glastonbury performance

Yep. 

New single underwhelms. Still looking forward to hearing more. Those first two albums are some of my favorites through and through.

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

What the hell.  I'll throw this one out there.

Absolutely LOVED her first album, Rock Is Dead, but then she sobered up and brought in Linda Perry as a producer for her second album and I felt she lost her edge.  Didn't really care for this song originally, but then someone remixed it and added a female rapper and brought it to life.

14.xx Freedom by Dorothy (TROY NōKA Remix) ft. Angel Haze

J

 

[Long Ball Larry]

15 - The Therapist - Foreign Air

Seems like a cousin of Loud Magic from last year, but this sound is definitely in my wheelhouse.

 

[JZilla]

13 Snapped Ankles - Drink And Glide

14 Brutus - Cemetery

guess I'll finish it up with my cover of choice, this Clash song that was never recorded or released

15. TOUTS - Before We Go Forward

And a bonus:

Meat Puppets - Sea of Heartbreak

 

[Jaysus]

15.j  The Avett Brothers - High Steppin'

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

Been going back and forth on this one all week.  Worth a flyer at #15.

15.xx Dracula Drug by Frankie and the Witch Fingers

J

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Round 14

Guided By Voices - The Rally Boys

Loving this recent lineup for GBV.  They're making some pretty good music over the past few albums.

 

[El Floppo]

15. I blame society- titus andonicus

but was seriously leaning to f the nra by the coathangers

 

[Eephus]

I gave Floppo fifteen chances at this one but if you want a job done right...

15 - Squid - Houseplants

 

[El Floppo]
