Concept:
We've talked about a few times in the past. Basically your favourite songs and albums when you were 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 years old. It is as much about the write up and reasons why you selected the song/album as the "draft" itself. Essentially it could just be a thread but doing it as a draft hopefully makes for more fun discussion and distraction as we go along.
The 5-10-15-20 concept is based on the Pitchfork series of the same name - https://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/
Rules:
1 - Rounds/Picks - To start we will use ages 5-50 and alternating rounds for songs and albums because that makes for a nice 20 round draft... but not all of us are 50 yet. The simple thing to do for that is simply allow those under 50 to double up on an age/ages of their choice or drop out after they reach the current age. If someone wants to predict what they'll be listening to in those future ages, sure, why not.
2 - Chronology - We will draft in order. Since we are different ages, it will be cool to see what each of us were listening to at 5 years old, then 10 years old etc... one day and then move on to the next? It will go round 1 - "songs of my life" at 5 years old, round 2 - "albums of my life" at 5 years old, and so on and so forth.
3 - Duplication - Duplication of albums/artists/songs is allowed, if a certain album was that meaningful to us, we break the draft
cardinal sin and allow the same song or album to be drafted twice.
4 - No Spotlighting - Because of age differences, that song that might have been a "near miss" for you at age 5, that you may be tempted to talk about, may be the song of choice for someone at age 15. For that reason, we won't talk about albums and songs not drafted. Obviously once an album is drafted, all songs on it can fairly be discussed. We don't want to discourage the dialogue, just make sure we're aware that other people might be waiting to pick a song in a future round that has special meaning to them.
5 - Timing - Slow draft - one pick per day - we are interested in the reasons why the song was meaningful to you at that age, or why a song from that time of your life has stuck with you through the passing of years. The hope is a single pick per day allows everyone who wants to to not only participate but also listen to each others songs and comment.
