[Northern Voice]

love me some Metronomy, love me some salted caramel ice cream

Round 9 - Salted Caramel Ice Cream - Metronomy - Dessert

Never heard the song but the like is for the dessert. That I could certainly eat right now.

The song is equally sugary sweet.

Round 11  Beverage  -  You Sexy Thing  -  Hot Chocolate

I almost picked this for the songs of my life draft.  But since I get to use it here, it all worked out.  I was pleased to hear it in The Full Monty.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I have only low-hanging fruit to go.  And lots of it.

I"m so glad someone took this!  It was one of the first songs I thought of for this draft, and I love The Full Monty, but there are so many beverage choices I figured I'd wait until the end and see what's left.  Now I can cross one off my list.

You should see the list I have for fruit songs.  It's huge.

Also, Binky is oversharing.

Rd. 12 

Salad 

Russians in the DHSS - Atilla the Stockbroker

"and scroungers and tramps eat smoked salmon and cress/now that Russians are running the DHSS"

Spoiler

spoken word shot here, taking the ultimate piss - that "Burning Ambitions" comp was a road map of all things from the English scene - cut my teef on that one ... miss those days of discovery - it was glorious getting that much exposure to new groups and sounds from one double platter. 

vinyl.  

ya can still hear them sweet scratches up on this one.

Round 12 (dessert): "Expresso Love" - Dire Straits

 

[Keerock]

Back to back!  Love this band.. huge Knopfler fan.

Round 12:  Portobello Belle - Dire Straits (Appetizer)

 

[Charlie Steiner]

Round 12: Breakfast

When the Heart Rules the Mind - GTR

Not the biggest fan of the band or song, but this is a slam-dunk because their lead singer's name is Max Bacon.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 12

Side Dish

Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

I think he says something about collard greens saying "doo de doo de doo..." because he surely mentions soul food at one point.

Round 12  -  Run Around - Blues Traveler - Wild Card

But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full
Yeah, I will drink in and always be full

Oh I like coffee
And I like tea

 

[Keerock]

Rd 12 Wild Card: Mayonaise by Smashing Pumpkins

Good one... definitely on my list.

 

[Northern Voice]

This song (both the album version and the live version linked below) has less than 20k views on Youtube?   What the hell?

Round 10 - Breadwinner - Everything Everything - Sandwich

 

[wikkidpissah]

Round 12 - Wildcard - Strange Fruit, Billie Holiday

First song i thought of when @cosjobs brought up the idea (except "When Doves Fry", of course). Was willing for someone with a personally compelling reason or sumn take it, since it's about anything but food. This far along, tho, since the most powerful metaphor in the history of song is a food metaphor, it cant be ignored neither.

Round Twelve

Sandwich

Slim Slow Slider - Van Morrison

(like Pork Sliders!)

 

[Binky The Doormat]

RD 12

Soup: Rock And Roll Stew - Traffic

Listened to this a ton as part of the "Low Spark" album.  

Really glad this one was still around so late.  

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Round Twelve

Slim Slow Slider - Van Morrison

(like Pork Sliders!)

Van is like Steely Dan in that I can listen to nearly everything he does and like it.

 

[Keerock]

100% agree.

Low Spark = one of the all-time greatest albums

Hadn't heard this in ages.  

 

[cosjobs]

R12 - Salad

Burnin' Down the House (Salad) / Talking Heads

 

[krista4]

Since we’re talking about him:

Round 12 - Wild Card - Van Morrison - Domino(‘s)

Its great, but I always preferred John Barleycorn (I understand I am in the minority)

 

[Keerock]

Round 12 - Wild Card - Van Morrison - Domino(‘s)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QOsGA4_Y89c

Sniped.  Good pick!

 

[cosjobs]

I've got to say, the draft format has worked excellently thus far.

I was eyeballing this one for entree - a hearty pick.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Not really.

Barleycorn was their highest chart topping album (#5) but it always eluded me.  

I was much younger when originally exposed to it and my tastes were of a younger man so I'll have to give it another listen.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QOsGA4_Y89c

His second 'funnest' song. 

Funnest IMHO?

Da da da da dat da, da da da da
Da da da da dat da, da da da da
Da da da da dat da, da da da da
Da da da da dat da, da da da da

 

[Ilov80s]

Keep the Van picks coming guys and gals!

I would be stunned if Barleycorn sold more than Low Spark, even if it charted higher.  

 

[cosjobs]

I would be stunned if Barleycorn sold more than Low Spark, even if it charted higher.  

I can find no total sales data to back that up.

But going by radio and Friends' playlists, it was never close.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

I would be stunned if Barleycorn sold more than Low Spark, even if it charted higher.  

You're right.

Don't have the numbers but Low Spark is their only platinum while Barleycorn, Shoot out at the Fantasy Factory, and When the Eagle Flies all went  gold.

When the Eagle Flies - NOT TO BE CONFUSED BY THIS >>   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woLQI8X2R6Y 

 

[Northern Voice]

Heard this for the first time in a while the other day and couldn't help but turn the volume all the way up.

Round 11 - O Valencia! - The Decemberists - Fruit

(for the purposes of my mix, Passionfruit by Drake is going to Wild Card - I already updated the spreadsheet)

 

[zamboni]

You're right.

Don't have the numbers but Low Spark is their only platinum while Barleycorn, Shoot out at the Fantasy Factory, and When the Eagle Flies all went  gold.

Correct - Low Spark is their only platinum album, but it took until 1996 to get there: https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=traffic#search_section

The band has long been a mainstay on many AOR radio stations, but never were a big seller or concert draw.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I would be stunned if Barleycorn sold more than Low Spark, even if it charted higher.  

Low Spark went Platinum and Barleycorn Gold so you are correct.

 

[Ilov80s]

Funny John Barleycorn coincidence today. I am watching Wicker Man on Netflix and it's loaded with John Barleycorn (the old folk song/tale). Also, I've never seen this before but man is it weird. 

 

[Keerock]

Round 13: Venom Soup - Ted Nugent (Soup)

Uncle Ted makes an appearance.  Not his best/most famous song, but some great licks that helped shape my formative years
