DI Jukebox Draft (66-15)- Listen up (3 Viewers)

12.21b - Where the Streets Have No Name - U2 - 1987

U2 - well, I had to fit that arrogant ########## Boner into this jukebox somehow.
Great pick, but this narrative about Bono bugs me.

What major rock star or sports star isnt arrogant?

Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Michael Jordan etc

Bono raises a lot of money to help SICK and DYING people all over the world, has the ear of world leaders and does something about issues that most people close their eyes and wish wasnt true. He has seen these on the front line and used his fame for a lot of bloody good. But hey he wears ####### sunglasses.

 
Yup, four a day is just too rushed, particularly with a three-day weekend coming up. I'd really like to us scale back to two for Friday through Monday and then see where we are.
Today doesn't seem rushed to me at all. I think there is more conversation when picks are made. Of course that is just my opinion. JML asked yesterday about if people who want four picks a day just want to make their picks or are they also adding commentary and listening to the songs, and I think that is a strange question coming from someone that lives on autoskip, and isn't here that much. I also notice that some that have fallen behind have been around over the last few days and have been posting in other threads, but just not posting in here. That's their choice. :shrug:
I am only one drafter. There are 30+ of us. I make a point of commenting on a few picks every day and i am in this thread for at least an hour a day, but if we stick with 4 a day, i will make my picks, spend 2 minutes in the thread and #### off. Just like everyone else will. Happens every draft where we speed up so everyone can race to the finish
 
If it matters, I'm good with keeping the pace relatively slow. This has been a nice work distraction for the past week.

Sorry, I can't link YouTube videos right now, but my round 13 picks:

13.08A: "Do You Realize" Flaming Lips (2002)

13.08B "Women Without Whiskey" Drive-by Truckers (2001)

The Lips' record doesn't quite fit my sound but I heard it come on a jukebox at a tiki bar in FLA as the sun was coming up and that image has always stuck with me.

No jukebox, IMO, is complete without at least one DBT record.

I'm in the top half of posters commenting in this thread and the reason I'm on autoskip is a consideration one. If you want me to waste an hour for everyone of my picks when I'm not going to be here, then I'll do that if I choose to participate in future threads. I'm in this thread plenty comparatively, comment and listen to other songs.

 
Some of my favorites.

13.10a - Crash - The Primitives - 1988

13.10b - Lovesong - The Cure - 1989

1989 was an incredible year for music *spotlighting*, *more spotlighting* covering a lot of different genres. Settled with Lovesong because the other band in contention has a song covered that I might take later. Is there an official moratorium on spotlighting until the draft is over?
Wow. Really like your list. Crash was a high pick for me in 88, but I've got another one over it.

 
12.21b - Where the Streets Have No Name - U2 - 1987

Its the way he treats people around him or "under" him also. I have no use for people like that. Remember when that guy sang his part in the Christmas song because he was like four hours late? He was such a biotch. My man Win is always out in the crowd, thanking everyone, and raising $$ for Hati. Other then stealing that guys basketball ;-) he's a saint.

Bono is the only one ever to put himself on a pedestal and treat people under him horribly.

Bono's lateness because he over commits to causes and issues is legendary. Bono and the Edge had a massive punch up for a Glasgow gig I went to. He was busy meeting/lecturing world leaders in Edinburgh about boring things like famine, aids etc and turned up to the gig late. Edge was not amused.

You have your issues with Bono, fine, but cast that same eye over others far less deserving.

 
Staggeringly beautiful song. I won't be picking anymore 70s records for a while just so I can get my lean years out of the way, but this one was definitely in my sights.

 
Nice with the Layla pick. I have always liked that song but for whatever reason I don't seem to own it. That will be remedied shortly.
Get the whole album. Unlike anything Clapton did before or since

 
I have to agree. I like GNR and Axl and Slash have never been known as saints nor punctual in Axl's case. I like Morrissey and have most of The Smiths and his solo work - but I hear he is an ##### to fans. Plenty of artists I own are dead due to drugs and just about every band that breaks up ever is due to someone's ego getting in the way. I still don't care, and Bono does more philanthropic and humanitarian work than the vast majority of artists.

 
I still don't get why people feel this is so rushed. It is not mandatory to listen to every pick as they are drafted. Every draft there is a handful of people who fall several rounds behind, no biggie.

I think the important thing is spreading out the picks to two a days. Doesn't matter much how many songs overall. I think what has killed drafts in the past is going on too long, or just doing one a day during the week. More likely people pop in during the am, drop a pick, and don't come back much. I think this draft has been great so far.

13.22a - Spags or Scream Clown Scream - Dancing French Liberals of '48 (1994)

13.22b - Buy Me A Condo - "Weird Al" Yankovic (1984) - 3-D

The Spags song was already picked and discussed as unavailable, so I'm going to link to a song that others might enjoy from the same EP. Dancing French Liberals of '48 are Scoob (RHE) inspired from the death of Mia Zapata and the Gits. This band cut a great album called Powerline in the wake of her death, and it was angry, raw, power/pop/blues punk and just wonderful. A legendary album. Tragedy bolstered art; but there was no need for it to be that way.

We have not begun to fight! - Scream Clown Scream

I just wish I had some friends that weren't deceased - Spags

As for Weird Al, Eat it. Fun reggae parody. I passed on a spotlighted band to pick it.

OK, I need a classic singalong song. The biggies from the 70s are taken (Piano Man, Sweet Caroline). One of the major biggies from the 80s is taken (Livin on Prayer). But I think this next one is right up there. Everybody scream "YOU TOLD ME IT WOULD LAST FOREVER!!!"

Bryan Adams -- Summer of 69 -- 1984

I will draft no Beatles, but to make up for it, I'll draft the most John Lennon-esque song never done by John Lennon

Oasis -- Don't Look Back in Anger -- 1995

Don't be so temperamental, Johnny. My point was yes people who would like to do three or four picks a day want to make their picks, but also we are listening to other folks songs and commenting on things we want to. We also see that when some songs are picked it generates more conversation. I like the chit chat. We also see that when no songs are being picked there can be long lags of time that go by. Being that you are usually on autoskip, you aren't here a lot and don't see how much time can go by with nothing be said. Evidentally you also don't see that these people do add commentary and such. It surely isn't anything to take personal.

Nice - this was on my short list.

 
You're a monster, simey.
Funny thing is it's only a comment a female can make. Totally innocuous comment, but did just enough to get under my skin and now I can't think of bloody anything else. It's an art form really.
Women amirite
Bloody hell. Im going to have to apologise here arent i? It was meant as a compliment, but as usual JML puts his foot in his mouth when the blood pressure rises.Sorry Simey for any offence taken.
