[KarmaPolice]

No life here.  Did go out last night for dinner for the first time in three months.  Sat outside.  It was great.

Same here - but this is what it was before COVID, so can't blame it on that.   

 

[Raging weasel]

Is that yours? Is this their sound on most tracks?

Yep, and I think most of the album is similar (but I am a tad hazy now, so don't quote me on that). 

 

[Eephus]

42.10 Eagles - The Long Run (1979)

Sucks

 

[zamboni]

It is pouring out, and these raccoons are fussing out there. I go out there and clap at them. They sound like screaming babies when they fight.

I guess Sidney Crosby must be part raccoon.

 

[Raging weasel]

Into the Sea(live)- God Street Wine.  Really digging this right now too, has a similar guitar sound as Santana.

Couldn't make it thru the double shot of Arcade Monkeys/Arctic Fire

Giver- K Flay - not something I listen too but I kinda liked it

Cause we Ended as Lovers- Jeff Beck - yeah- here we go!

15+ minutes of Herbie Hancock- 6 mins in and haven't changed it so must be ok,lol

 

[zamboni]

42.33 This Land - Gary Clark Jr (2019)

I can't tell if this is the most hopeful angry album or the angriest hopeful album I've ever heard. Either way, it kicks ###.

"This Land"

"What About Us"

He’s great - there’s another album of his I’ve been eyeballing.

 

[krista4]

Our bars and restaurants open next week. Can't wait to go get a craft draft

We don’t have bars open yet, but in my county restaurants can open at 50% capacity.  Can’t sit at the bar to eat yet, though. :(

I few Friday night music/draft questions:

1.  What have you stumbled on through the draft that was new to you and you are most excited about exploring more?

2.  What artist/album isn't new, but you know you should be listening to it more because every time it comes up you like it?

3.  What albums you drafted do you think might be new for a lot of us and would like people to listen to the most?

This post started because I was pissed I screwed up and accidently screwed up my research playlist, so I am currently not 100% sure on #1, but I know I can search the thread and find some of my posts if needed.  Otherwise, so be it - shuffle and start over!!   My current answers:

1.  The Band come to mind.  Nope, never seen the doc, haven't heard more than probably one of their big hits.   I also have The The, Big Star, and Drive By Truckers written down here, but I know there were a few pop songs I didn't know and a couple others I had starred on my notes for further exploration.  

2.  This list is pretty big:   Television, Petty, Stevie Wonder, Buzzcocks, Replacements, Peter Gabriel, Spoon, Otis Redding, Earth/Wind/Fire. 

3.  I think my main ones would be Lord Huron - Strange Trails and Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway.   Love those albums so much.      Next would be a tentative Opeth - Pale Communion.    Pretty sure some of the metal guys in here would like it, especially anybody who drafted an album more on the prog side or something like Deep Purple, etc.

Same here - but this is what it was before COVID, so can't blame it on that.   

My bar hopping days stopped a long time ago, unless it is some special occasion for someone's birthday or something. I like to see live music when there is someone around I want to see, and I like to go out to eat, or eat at a friend's house. Other than that, I hang at home.

This is mostly me. 

BUT - I hide behind my kids and probably use them to explain away my lack of desire to do anything.    The wife and I will go out occasionally to a concert, but besides that it's my preference to stay at home and booze/game/movie watch/FFA chat.   I will run out of excuses soon when the 5 year old is old enough to take care of herself at night.  

That said, I would be 100% in for an FFA cornhole of these weird music drafters.   

 

[zamboni]

Cause we Ended as Lovers- Jeff Beck - yeah- here we go!

I love the live version at Ronnie Scott’s with the beautiful and talented Tal Wilkenfeld shining on the bass.

 

[KarmaPolice]

You a Pens fan?

I am a weird mix of teams for various reasons:  Pats, Pens, Mariners.   Could give 2 ####s about NBA

 

[shuke]

Dead for a weekend night.  I guess all y'all have lives and ####?

Just got here.  Buckle up.

 

[shuke]

How do I only owe 5 picks?  You guys are sloooooooooooooow

You a Pens fan?

I need to get my eyes checked

 

[Hov34]

42.10 Eagles - The Long Run (1979)

Sucks

I quit.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Listening to a full album from a group that gets a bad rap.  

And I will likely get some flack on it ...but it's great 70s pop.  Likely considered easy-listening these days.  

 

[Eephus]

One thing that was nice about that Sturgill Simpson show tonight was that it was multiple people in the same room.  That's a huge step up from musicians in separate video windows. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

How do I only owe 5 picks?  You guys are sloooooooooooooow

I blame in on PIK for not leaving a pick for the night.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Just got here.  Buckle up.

bring it.

42.10 Eagles - The Long Run (1979)

Sucks

I quit.

You shouldn't have bothered with post 10000 if you were going to draft this.

 

[zamboni]

I am a weird mix of teams for various reasons:  Pats, Pens, Mariners.   Could give 2 ####s about NBA

That is an interesting combo.

As a Rangers fan, don’t like Sid the Kid, but it’s mainly out of jealousy for what he’s done/won.

The 70s is my favorite decade of music.

As long as it's not the Eagles

 

[Raging weasel]

Salt of the Earth- Stones. Don't hear this enough

Too long at the Fair- Bonnie Raitt. Never really listened to her before, may have to change that . Liked more than expected.

Havanah Affair- Ramones. A little shocking after Bonnie but how can you not like the Ramones?

Deep Red Balls- Neko Case - never heard of her, pretty good song and like her voice

Breadcrumb Trail- Slint.  Like the music,hate the vocals

John Denver- no thanks

 

[Northern Voice]

Drunk. Reading throuh pages. who's still up

 

[Northern Voice]

Sitting out on the porch with a beer, got the oven cranking about to throw down some homemade pizzas once my dough rests, gonna make some all day Alton Brown baked beans tomorrow, my sister is coming over and bringing my adorable 15-month old nephew.  Probably play some video games, listen to music tonight and tomorrow.  This weekend is really looking up.

41.23 - CrazySexyCool - TLC  (1994)

If you've ever seen my Spotify profile picture, you'll know how much I love this group.  They're a singles act obviously but this their best album.  Plus I don't think I've drafted an album with skits until now.

Creep

Waterfalls

All the

 

[Eephus]

39.17  Sea Wolf - Leaves in the River (2007)

Never heard of them. 

2007 was the golden age of Wolf bands

 

[Northern Voice]

Pulp I only heard Razzamatazz on the draft mix so far but downloaded that record now.

 

[krista4]

It's still pretty light here

Yeah, we've got 90 minutes until sunset.

it's only 10:30 here pops

 

[KarmaPolice]

That is an interesting combo.

As a Rangers fan, don’t like Sid the Kid, but it’s mainly out of jealousy for what he’s done/won.

For sure.   

Pops was in the Air Force, so none of really settled in on a local team.  For NFL, it was mostly us picking AFC teams.  Dad is Pitts fan, Mom is Dolphins, and I was Pats for as long as I could remember - back to the Grogan days.   Pretty sure Bledsoe was drafted the year I graduated HS and wore my birthday number 11, so of course I him.  Vividly remember being pissed that this punk Brady got the starts over him after he was healed from his injury... 

Pens was more just because they were good when I started watching NHL in HS.   Of course I loved Mario.  

Mariners, similar - Griffey Jr. 

All the teams just stuck after that.  

 

[simey]

You lead an interesting life.   Where you at again??

I forgot to say that this is probably a polite way of saying I'm weird.
