I thought @Hov34 was joking when he said he quit.

8.P - Prince & The New Power Generation - Love 2 the 9's

And a prince.

If I'm understanding the rules correctly, this is not a steal of @landrys hat's Prince & The Revolution pick. I am not a crook.

I thought @Hov34 was joking when he said he quit.

I'm here, just got back from camping trip. Signal was spotty. I'll catch up and draft a replacement for XTC and my pick for today.

 

[Hov34]

To replace my stolen 7th rounder XTC I am taking:

7.BB The Beatles - Wild Honey Pie (no link, because I love you all)

And my 8th rounder

8.RR The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter

 

[Pip's Invitation]

To replace my stolen 7th rounder XTC I am taking:

7.BB The Beatles - Wild Honey Pie (no link, because I love you all)

Krista took the Beatles this morning.

I think you still owe for yesterday, too? I’m not in a place where I can search, though.

Crap, I didn't see it on the front page. It was a spite pick anyway. I would have changed it eventually.

Let me go back and read the last few pages, which is what I should have done in the first place.

The front page isn't updated regularly, so the best way to determine if a band has been picked is to do a search in the thread. (The search function works much better, especially for a within-thread search, since the migration to the new platform.)

You're good with the Stones, though.

My mother is seventy five

Round 9.B - Blues Traveler - The Mountains WIn Again

 

[Eephus]

Spent a nice mother's day with ditkaburgers, Mrs. Eephus and her mom. After dinner we watched the Eurovision Song Contest finals and I realized I missed out on another theme. I'm pretty sure there are some Europop artists with names beginning with all the hard letters.

Hope you all had a nice time with people you love.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I left a pick with Eephus. Or maybe it doesn't matter. I thought we were starting at the top of the order. I'm confused.

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Front page fully up to date...now I can play with some things

Q and U are the most popular letters taken so far with 13 of the 16 of us having chosen it.
I have more than 3 choices at each so I can be a cool little fonzie here

Surprisingly O is next with 12 choices. I have at least 10 options left, so am not worried at all.

Coming in 4th is Z with 10 choices. I have 4 choices left. Could get interesting

5th we have a tie with E, V and Y at 9 selections. I have E covered, V and Y should be pieces of piss.

X is gonna be the *******. Only 6 chosen.

All letters have now had a selection. D, M, S and T pull up the rear at 1 pick

Round 10 (G): The Good Rats - "***** Joe" ("*****" rhymes with "Sinjun")

This band may not be familiar to many. Made their bones in the early 1970s on Long Island (NY), playing the club scene along with Twisted Sister and Zebra, among a few others. Didn't find much commercial success, but still have a cult following in the NYC area and a few other selected regions.

My apologies for the offensive song title - it's really just about the character from Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. I basically picked the tune because it's a hell of a jam.

Used: E, G, I, O, Q, U, V, X, Y, Z

 

[PIK95]

@Yo Mama can pick now.

thoughts of My Father's Place, the venerable Roslyn(?) music venue - seemed like every 'NEW commercial break featured a spot about their weekend billings, and the Goodt Rats were ubiquitous in such.

Hey @John Maddens Lunchbox , I think NV’s choices are back in the mix now, right? I’m not in a spot to access them but he had a few tasty choices, including a Q.

I texted NV. Maybe we could give him another day? He responded and said he ought to make some picks.

[New Binky the Doormat]

...just got up ...pick incoming in a couple of minutes

I need my coffee

 

[tuffnutt]

7.I - I Break Horses - "Faith"

My mix has absolutely zero cohesion.

G, I, J, O, Q, U, Y

 

[Hov34]

10.F Foo Fighters - Everlong

 

[Steve Tasker]

8.Z - Zola Jesus - "Dangerous Days"

Here's an artist that I always think I should like more, but I find her to be very hit-or-miss. I do think she has a fantastic, haunting, memorable voice (example - live at KEXP) that sometimes gets lost in the goth aesthetic.
