[Uruk-Hai]

Hmm... didn't see it in the master sheet. I will find something else.

The only reason I know is because I took it 

 

[sn0mm1s]

Z - Zoolander Soundtrack, 80s mix, some meh covers. 

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Y&T too

Someone picked one of their albums

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Can't believe no Jackson 5 albums were taken.  So many great hits.  

 

[rockaction]

Counting Crows in my head. Now officially Limp Ditka's fault for keeping on mentioning them. 

Thanks, LD. 

Mr. Jones and me...

Was close to taking them but J is jacked with Joel and John, among others.  

Btw- the fubar alias is dead, I'm going back to my original account here. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

So... We ready for another draft??

 

[JZilla]

The original FFA music drafts were drafting yourself a band.  That might be cool to do again. @bigbottom knows the drill

 

[JZilla]

or not

 

[rockaction]

It's only been a few hours.

What did you do?

What did you do?

nothing, just killing all accounts linked to my work address.

I can probably remember/fudge up a lot of the rules.  At the end of it all you make a setlist and put on a show.. then there's votes to ultimately determine a winner

Sounds interesting. You draft bands then create a setlist?  Pretty cool.

If you do a Google site search for "Rock Band Draft IV", the results include the rules and some of the judging but not the draft thread

 

[rockaction]

Still think Tasker may have won by taking Talib. Just listening now. Now totally amped for, oh, nothing. 

Other than Spoon tonight!

I didn't win anymore?  Are we doing another soon?

 

[El Floppo]

fwiw- this draft has completely gummed up my spotify algorithm. ####### Paul McCartney is in my Discover Weekly, along with #### that doesn't need discovering like the Clash, the Cure and Neutral Milk Hotel.

 

[Northern Voice]

I think I prefer song drafts. Easier to listen to every single pick and find new favourites.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I liked this album draft.  I had to think a lot more about the lesser-known songs.  I listened to a lot of stuff I hadn't really thought about in a while.

 

[Eephus]

Mixtape Dominoes

Everybody nominates one song to act as a Spinner.  All drafters can choose any one of the Spinner song (excluding their own nomination) to anchor their mixtape.  To increase scarcity, we could reduce the number of possible spinners. 

The premise is you build a mixtape around the Spinner using any type of musical connection to link adjacent songs (common musicians or theme, similar sound or tempo, covers, etc.).   The Spinner doesn't have to be the start or end of the mix but like in Dominoes, each song in the mix has to somehow relate to the song preceding and following it.   I think the mixes should be relatively short or else the commonality would be watered down too much.

Or we could just forget about the whole thing.

Liked for the concept, not the forget about the whole thing part.

 

[Limp Ditka]

I like spinners

I was just coming in to start up the long title song draft for something easy and not too thought provoking.  I will start a thread, if people aren't interested and would prefer a Zilla's or Eephus' idea that's cool too.  I would need someone to do spreadsheet, as I and very computer dumb.

Up for long song draft, I'm usually around a lot more on Thursdays and Fridays then I am early in the week, so if there's heavy lifting to be done on those days I can help out.

 

[KarmaPolice]

draft is HERE.  I tried to ping everybody from this draft, but could only do 8. 

 

[PIK95]

I'm in for whatever.
