[krista4]

@Eephus @rockaction @tuffnutt I think?

I thought Ee was on daytime skip as well.

I'm going back to selecting artists/songs I discovered in a middle-aged dummy countdown. This was popular in the worldwide one, garnering four votes, and I loved it despite its being female voices!

19.k4 First Aid Kit - Emmylou

 

[otb_lifer]

Round 18(D): Derek and the Dominos - "Little Wing"

Used: A, B, C, D E, F, G, H, I, J, K, O, Q, U, V, X, Y, Z

dynamite turn here ... man, that Call tune are as non-80s sounding an 80s tune as ever were released in the 80s, and sounded so emblematic of the 80s, while not sounding anything like the 80s.

POCO WING - useless factoid, but that were the one tune off D&tD lp that weren't plucked in the worldwide dummies countdown - everything else one woulda expected (along with Bobby Whitlock, by yours truly) were selected ... but no wingy



(thank you, Helen)

WRT Walls, Garth Hudson’s keys probably gave it some ‘70s oomph.

WRT Little Wing, it may be blasphemy, but I think they outdo Jimi’s original with Duane/Eric’s soaring leads.

 

[Hov34]

I think this is 19 for me, but not sure:

19.K

Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It

 

[Ilov80s]

Alright let’s pump up for the weekend

18.7 Ocean Views by Nipsey Hussle

Under "N"? (Not challenging, just asking.)

Hmmm hadn’t thought about that. Nipsey struck me as more of a descriptor but I could be wrong and will repick if needed.

You are too young to remember Nipsey Russell.

 

[krista4]

There's a huge two-day auction going on today and tomorrow that includes, among other things, a couple hundred lots from Bill Wyman, ~100 from Julian Lennon, and something associated with pretty much every musical artist you've heard of - almost 1300 lots in total.

I might have accidentally bought a few things. I did not, however, buy the Gold Records for Sgt. Pepper's, Revolver, Abbey Road, etc. (from Julian's collection so would have been John's) for $70,000-$90,000 each. Pre-auction estimates were $5-7k.

 

[Ilov80s]

I’ll repick for Nipsey later

 

[krista4]

I’ll repick for Nipsey later

I'm not sure if you need to. Wait until our leader makes a ruling?

 

[PIK95]

Any idea where we are? Cutting the grass, I'll check back in a bit.

 

[rockaction]

Skip again today. Make up what I owe tonight. Sorry and thanks

 

[krista4]

I had two N's, and got one. I'll steal it back if anyone comes for it.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Alright let’s pump up for the weekend

18.7 Ocean Views by Nipsey Hussle

Under "N"? (Not challenging, just asking.)

I was thinking H cause the wiki refers to him by his surname as Hussle or Hu$$le
Looks like a clear case of stage first name Nipsey, stage last name Hussle

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

I'm hoping the last two rounds are not until Monday. Should provide some excitement if people are paying attention.

Last 2 rounds may not be for awhile if we are going all the way to 26. Could be the last 2 rounds for some though

Love your pick. Did you read this article a couple of months back? I found it really interesting.

 

[zamboni]

You can skip over me today - will make up later today or tomorrow.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 19:

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young -- Almost Cut My Hair

If they're still here, I'm just gonna help myself.

Round 20:

Grandaddy -- He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot

I can't take the Flaming Lips but I always thought this tune sounded like them.

Used: A, B, C, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M, O, P, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

 

[zamboni]
