Round 3 

The Neutral Milk thing about flying

I can't even begin to think I knew about indie rock before I listened to this. @Abrantes hit gold here

Boston 

Can not believe I am loving a Boston album this hard right now.  @Mr. Ected NAILD THIS.  Can't beat Foreplay/Long Time.

Bored me tbh

I saw them in college. Was pretty bored, actually. But I was way into trad and proto-punk when I saw them, so that may have had something to do with it.

David Yow did some shows with the remnants of Flipper in 2015.  He's still a great front man, outrageous and hysterical even.

 
I'm listening to the Bill Evans solo album that WP posted a few pages back.

ETA:  The rhythm sections in Evans' trios were always sympathetic to the him but there's a wonderful fluidity in his playing without one.

Thinking the Japandroids - Celebration Rock probably hurt the most.
Click to expand...
I wasn't in this thread at all yesterday because I took most of the day off and spent it drinking in the afternoon and seeing Japandroids last night. We went early for Craig Finn and ended up in the very front row for Japandroids. It was absolutely amazing. They played 6/8 from Celebration Rock, Wet Hair, Young Hearts Spark Fire, pretty much all of the new album. I think it's going in my top 3 favourite concerts ever (with my first time seeing The Hold Steady, and of course, Foals). 

Basically I'm not story I stole this from you. Also the Celebration Rock vinyl is awesome. White vinyl with a 12 page photo/lyric book :thumbup:

Saw them on the CR tour in Chicago. They were fantastic that night too.

I did get a text from my son on Wednesday that they were in town. I was in the city that day and for a fleeting moment, it sounded like a good idea. But between a ####ty day of work and being on the wagon, I dreaded the thought of trying to occupy myself for 3+ hours until the show started.

:thumbup:  i prefer his solo stuff, but listeningwise, i'm a piano sonata guy (scarlatti, bach, satie) when i'm working.

Evans also has dual-piano and even three-piano solo records that are interesting

 
Toughest snipe: Spoon - Gimme Fiction

Two picks before one I was about to make it with.

Mozart has some beautiful piano sonatas too... but sounds like you go for baroque.

Mozart (whose Ks i'm complete on, i think) is too good. He carries my mind away too often to play while i work. It's like Stevie Wonder. I could be filling a pothole or a cocktail waitress and, if li'l stevie's on, i'm a-singin'!

But i'm as baroque as i am ba-roke. Dozens & dozens of Italian concerto grossi and Telemann type stuff...*mwaa!*

That (re: not singing to Stevie but keeping tempo w/Wolgangus) used to really piss off my violinist gf. But you reminding me of the issue gave me a good laugh. I'm still debating Bolero vs far superior Schubert because it's my island and I might catch a mermaid someday.

I agree this was an excellent draft, especially compared to several that weren't. Great job all, and again sorry I missed it. My hs girls bball team went down in flames in state playoffs yesterday. I'll continue the classical list later today and finish it up tomorrow.

Whereas my girlfriend told me to turn that depressing #### off when "Two-Headed Boy, pt. 2" came on shuffle like an hour ago. :lmao:  

I love the hell out of it, though.

:lol:  at Dark Side going undrafted.

Sorry, but I just don't like Floyd, so I'm not taking the blame for this.  Plus, "P" was a solid letter for me - Had I not taken Petty it would probably have been Grace Potter (with an outside shot at Pandora's Box for a little more Steinman).

 
This might or might not be amusing: I'm supposed to go to a birthday lunch tomorrow. I'm exhausted. But I keep waking up to thoughts of an arcane music draft whose rules I just can't quite seem to grasp. 

Fun!

This draft, however, was great. Thanks for running it, guys.

WEISS was my backup if BTR had gotten scooped up before I drafted it.

Wish I could @ this whole thread, but what is the 1 album missing out on hurt the most? Either because you love it and really wanted it or because it screwed you over on a tough letter.

for me it was having to pass up the Who's Tommy or Quadrophenia to take Wilco - either way it would have killed me.

Wild Innocent is my favorite Springsteen record.  Greetings is number 2.  Darkness and Born to Run are close for the third spot.  Born in the USA and the River after that.  Nebraska never really did it for me.

My T's and U's that I wish I could have gotten in.  I picked Traffic - Low Spark but really struggled with picking one of the Tubes albums - I play them all a lot.  I took U2's - Achtung Baby which was tough to override Todd's Utopia (for me, but am a big U2 fan as well) ...ugh, tough choices.

Traffic - Traffic and Townsend - Empty Glass were in a virtual three way tie for my Sweet Baby James pick (it's why I put T off for so long trying to decide.

 
I was just spinning Rancid, And Out Come the Wolves and I forgot how great it is.  The first ten or so songs are perfection.  Wish I could have had it. It's an all timer for me.

I love the old stuff more than the newer stuff, and I go back and forth on BTR vs WIESS as my favorite.  Greetings, Darkness BITUSA, and River right on next tier.  Not a huge fan of the newer material, but this is now one of my favorites (like Top 5) from seeing it on the Devils and Dust tour.
