I like it. It's made me begrudgingly spend time violating my boycott of spotify. So yup, thanks for the playlist, Eeph. Diggin' Baba Ali atm.

Maybe you told me before, but why the Spotify boycott?

i tried to join the megapalooza monster draft and I'm not exactly sure but somn like 18 of 25 picks I wanted were available on youtube music but not spotty. It ended with 10-11. That I am sure of.  I gave up pretty frustrated with spotty's lack of content.

Good on you for having some deep cuts like that. Other than one Van Morrison album, I can't think of much I am missing on Spotifty. Plus I think I think Tupelo Honey is Van's choice, not anything to do with any specific service.He just doesn't like it for some reason.

It's my own fault. I play the "franchise mode" and simulate all the games because I'm addicted to fantasy stuff... but it means the same 20 songs play over and over and over. I expect at least one more, or hopefully something else from its album to be drafted here. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Drank 4 beers and ordered Cuz I Love You on vinyl tonight. How's everyone else doing?

Made a couple italianated smash burgers and finished off the Open Road Champagno from new year's while watching the crappy Lakers. All good here. 

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

4.  This Fractured Mind - Nation of Language

5. Walkman - Bad Bad Hats

6. Rain Dance - Geese

I've had as many double whiskies.  Just jamming out to the playlist trying to digest the collective brilliance of the group.  So I'm doing pretty well by most standards.

Hardcore/PUNK Day

Round Five 

Artist: Modern Life Is War 

Song: Survival

Round Six 

Artist: Turnstile

Song: MYSTERY

 

[Northern Voice]

Round Six 

Artist: Turnstile

Song: MYSTERY

I went back and forth a bunch on what song to choose to represent this album on the playlist I share with my friends and landed on this as well. 

 

[Northern Voice]

This band had 3 album's released as "Sports" and their last two as "Remember Sports". The last two are all you really need to know. This song is fantastic (spoiler: it's female led indie rock)

6.NV - Out Loud - Remember Sports

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

I'm up and intoxicated with whiskey.  Is there a better time to select the next songs in the playlist?  I think not.

Two additional songs I drafted during the mid-year that still rank highly for me.

SCS 7AM
Cloudy Day - Tones and I

SCS 8PM

Another Last Time - Dirty Honey

J

SCS 1AM
Good 4 U - Olivia Rodrigo

SCS 2PM
Leave the Door Open - Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak & Silk Sonic

SCS 3AM

[Ilov80s]

The new Weeknd album is really fun, I guess it's time to fire up the 2022 music thread

 

[CletiusMaximus]

controversial take — Surface Pressure > We Don’t Talk About Bruno 

 

[squistion]

SCS 8PM

Another Last Time - Dirty Honey

This doesn't break any new ground as far as hard rock power ballads go, but I like it.   

And I swear I have heard that guitar intro somewhere before...but I can't place it. 

 

[Northern Voice]

30 years in and now a (husband/wife) duo, they can still write a tune. 

7.NV - Days Like These - Low

 

[squistion]

7. Squistion - Crystal Tides - Last Time 

https://youtu.be/3JJEZyv1e50

Portsmouth UK 4 piece power pop indie rock band. Catchy tune, released April 2021.

You can't complain,

it's always the same old story,

You said it was the last time, last time

 

[Long Ball Larry]

6.lbl

Sweet - Porridge Radio

foreign intense, vulnerable and honest female singer with noisy guitars and playing with dynamics?  And you expect me not to love this?

 

[kupcho1]

7. Seventeen Going Under - Sam Fendeer

I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
That's the thing with anger
It begs to stick around

8. Oh! - The Linda Lindas

Love the energy here.  Contagious

 

[Long Ball Larry]

7.lbl

You are enough (remix) - Ron gallo

funky little remix from Ron Gallo

 

[Long Ball Larry]

8. Lbl

Line of Fire - Jose Gonzalez

god bless you, mr. Gonzalez

I don't care AT ALL but FYI, this was drafted in the 2020 Mid Year draft. "7 Seconds" was one of my top songs last year. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Ya know I kind of thought that it was from 2020, but Spotify says the album is from 2021.  But I guess that must be just the expanded edition

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

And I swear I have heard that guitar intro somewhere before...but I can't place it. 

Reminds me of the intro to either "Little Wing" by Hendrix or "Yellow Ledbetter" by Pearl Jam.

Yeah, I think you got it, "Little Wing" was what it reminded me of.

The yearly music threads were always @kupcho1's thing. Not sure if he wants to start it up? If not I've done the last few and can get it going. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Slow building, ever expanding, epic  power ballad from a similar indie/emo genre crossroads as recent Manchester Orchestra...

8.NV - Speak With The Dead - Foxing (feat WHY?)

8. Squistion - Tears For Fears - The Tipping Point 

https://youtu.be/yUp-ujO979U

The legends returned in 2021.

A shuffle beat like Everybody Wants To Rule The World, but otherwise a nicely updated take on the Tears For Fears sound.

 

[Eephus]

7.ee - Kiwi jr. - Cooler Returns

Canadians

 

[Eephus]

8.ee - 파란노을(Parannoul) - 아름다운 세상 (Beautiful World)

Lo-fi Korean Shoegaze

Foxing's "Going Down Together" was my top 2021 song according Spotify Wrapped

 

[Chaos Commish]

7. London Grammar - Lord it's a Feeling

You can probably guess which were mine  but pretty good all around.

We need the full album rock!! 

But I may go Room on Fire. I think being midnight here and some drinks in, Boxer and Neil may be too slow for this time of night.
