[Eephus]

11.  David Holmes (Featuring Raven Violet) - It's Over, If We Run Out Of Love

 

[Yo Mama]

11.YM - Phenomenon - Mt. Joy

So my daughter (youngest of my two kids) is moving across the country in a month to go to college. We’ve always had a very close relationship through sports and other activities over the years, so this will be a tough move for me. I coached all her basketball and softball teams up until high school, and since she was a pitcher I spent countless hours sitting on a bucket of softballs catching for her and talking about life. Even though she hasn’t pitched for months, I have yet to take my faithful bucket and softball glove out of my car because I’m not ready to move on from that phase yet. 
 

Whereas I talk about / listen to hip hop and rap with my son (learning new artists and songs from him and sharing older stuff), my daughter and I share more indie / alternative stuff. 
 

I started listening to this band earlier this year when my daughter told me it was her favorite. It was a desperate attempt to keep having something to talk about, but I ended up liking their music. @Dr. Octopus already took my favorite from this album (Lemon Tree), but this is another I like a lot. 
 

 

[steelcitysledgehammers]

Just wanted to drop in and let you boys know I appreciate your efforts.  I've already been enjoying the playlist and can't wait to see it completed.

I've continued to listen to albums this year but honestly, I've yet to stumble upon much of anything remarkable on my own.  I've got a bunch of new songs I like, but they've mainly been culled from suggestions in the 2022 new music thread (NOBRO, Mysterines, SMILE).  I'd feel bad joining in the draft only to snipe other peoples suggestions.

I've got less than a handful of songs to suggest so I'll hold off until you've completed the draft to toss out my few selections if they don't get taken between now and then.

Thanks again!  I really look forward to these playlists.

An AOTY candidate for me.

 

[Chaos Commish]

11. The Weeknd - Gasoline

spotty

I've fallen for tons of his songs, but this might be my favorite yet.

Also, the other Weeknd song drafted isn't on the playlist. 

 

[Eephus]

Also, the other Weeknd song drafted isn't on the playlist. 

It's showing up as added 4 days ago for me.

 

[Chaos Commish]

It's showing up as added 4 days ago for me.

Hmm. I just searched weeknd on the spotty page and got nada. And did it again just now. Odd.

 

[Juxtatarot]

9.  The Reds, Pinks & Purples - I'd Rather Not Go Your Way

Have you been following Glenn Donaldson for a while? If so, what else have you liked that he’s been involved with?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Coming Home - Phosphorescent 

 

[Juxtatarot]

12 Welcome to Hell — black midi

He thinks that all the news is fake
And late at night he sits on his computer
And writes about the things he hates

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Still one of my favorite current artists

[Chaos Commish]

[kupcho1]

13. Melt Yourself Down - Pray For Me I Don't Fit In

My best friend said I'm not black enough
My neighbour said I'm not woke enough
My mother said I don't smile enough
Everyday, not black enough, not woke enough, don't smile enough

 

[Yo Mama]

12. The 1975 - Part of the Band

spotify

I was going to take this but it was released July 7 per Spotify - not sure if that disqualifies it from this draft.

[Chaos Commish]

12. Weezer - Records

Methinks we can all relate to some of these lyrics.

 

[Yo Mama]

Honestly - not sure if that’s the official rule, but that’s how I interpreted it. 
 

Lol - your repick was going to be my morning pick

 

[Jaysus]

13.J - Blood Command - I Just Want That Movie Ending

 

[Eephus]

ETA: Did I miss the link, or is there no spreadsheet this time?

We haven't done a spreadsheet in the last few mid-year/end-year drafts.  It's easier to just add the songs directly to the playlist.

 

[Eephus]

12.  Horsegirl - Billy

 

[Yo Mama]

12.YM - Nobody but Me - The Knocks feat. Cold War Kids

Just some fun, upbeat tunes for the spring/summer. 
 

What am I working so hard for?
To fill my lonely days
Wake up in the middle of the night
In a cold sweat
I need to see your face

Nobody but me
I got money in my pocket (pocket)
Got a house in heaven hills
Until I find someone to share it with
Who cares? (Who cares?)

Nobody but me
I got all my #### together (together)
But nothing lasts forever
Until I find someone to share it with
Who cares? (Who cares?)
Nobody but me

11 - Dancing Blue by Kikagaku Moyo

 

[Eephus]

13.  Shy FX and Liam Bailey - Come Around Slowly

 

[Eephus]

I'm up to song #74 which is just past the midway point of the mix.  The finish line keeps moving until round 20.

Today I made it through the ten minute Tool track followed almost immediately by the depressing Frank Turner/Craig Finn songs.

 

[Dr. Octopus]
