Given what I've gleaned from your music tastes me thinks you'd like him more than you think you do. Maybe not all of Sailor, but cuts from it - like Call To Arms. But especially Sound & Fury. With hind sight it's clear to me it developed at least partially from aspects of Sailor. It isn't a country record.
It definitely helps us older white folk not feel alienated by the artist.
And when she talked about a fall
Last week I was looking to draft Sara Smile. I couldn't find a record that had a second song that worked though. Not really.
Yep. Definite doppleganger. That made me laugh. I love this album. It sits on the bottom shelf of my record collection. I think I'll pull it out.
One of the mantras of my life is 'if it ain't broke, don't fit it.' Since I don't see this draft as 'broken', I don't see any reason to change course now. Adding the 3ITC was a good on-the-fly adjustment and I think it's still working.
this is my vote
I'll fall on a sword. I have no clue what of his albums are good, which ones are great, and if he has any lemons. My library is littered with his music, but I don't think I've ever listened to an album of his cover-to-cover. His catalog has been at the top of my listen to list all week, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I think I'm over whelmed looking at it and seeing the amount of time needed to commit to it and I keep justifying not doing it.
I am in the same boat as you, but different years. Arcade Fire and Radiohead pretty much being my only lifeboats in that mess from like 98-08. 92-94 was also awful for my likes. 1988 was the best year imo.
3ITC is work though, and the work has been for those who have been keeping this humming along. That can burn you out, and for me the question is more do they want to continue leading it. If not, then Option B or C is just fine. There are 40 drafters, and there will be conversation no matter what. Even with 3ITC there are times of quietness, but the more skips that come, the more it is getting back around to the people who are present.
I'd prefer to go B as a drafter, but thinking about the overall spirit of it, A sounds like the way to go. The only problem is that so many people are popping in and out and on skip that it becomes hard to keep track of (I've been on skip the past two days, so I'm right in the thick of that burden, too) for the people keeping track. It requires a constant presence to maintain and designate, which is hard. I think that administratively, B is easiest but also you do have the issue of a glut at 11 and a glut of picks at 7. So A, I guess. Why fix what isn't broken, as Steiner said?
That's a fair point, and I will fully support whichever option works best for our volunteers.
I just have little tolerance for twang in my music. But I have grown to accept more stuff that toes the line in my old age. I will for sure give this an honest go though based on the 1 1/2 songs I've liked.
This was on my short list- luckily still have all the others to pick from and you didn't snipe my tracks.
The Damned as on someone's radar for drafting. You were the one that pointed us to the documentary two or so years ago and generally have spoken about them with knowledge.
Just waking up. Please skip and I'll post in an hour or so.
