Totally agree.
I have A-Ha locked in for another year with one off the radar for most.
Harkets voice reminds me of an artist I will draft very soon.
Totally agree.

Salt-n-Peppa, Let's Talk About Sex 1990
A nice ice breaker for my bar Jukebox, in the abyss year of 1990.
That's my favorite New Porns' song, mostly because of her voice. I like most of her solo albums even more.Round 14
New Pornographers,
I consider "7/4 (Shoreline)" to be my favorite song of all-time. It would've been my first-round pick if it fit my mix. We had a best songs of the 00 draft at some point and I think it was my first round pick. Broken Social Scene is amazing. Lisa Lobsinger kills it live, but ### #### I would love to see Feist perform it sometime.Round 14

Poor "De".Whatever round b - K-Ci and Jojo - "All My Life" (1997)
Steal of the draft imo
The ultimate 90s slow jam. The ladies love it. The fellas love it. My wife and i used to hook up to it.
I still remember all the words to this. It's Valentines Day, guys. This is a fantastic karaoke ballad for that special girl in your life. Let 1/2 of Jodeci tell your girl how you really feel.

I'm having a hard time finding a spot to fit a pure panty dropper into my draft. It is vexing.
BSS is one of my favorites as well. YFIIP is a great album and their live shows are fantastic.Round 14

New Pornographers,
Sounds about right for the Trio. I found out about them in Fells Point, MD, at this great record shop at the end of the strip I used to go to when I lived in MD. I played the hell out of this album (Alkaline Trio - Alkaline Trio). Total impulse buy gone right, and I've begun listening to them again. Strangely, the A.V. Club had an article about the song "Clavicle" off of #######it about a day or two ago (spoiler alert: I've been listening to them so much, I was going to take them anyway.) Guess it's Valentine's week.Loved the Trio. Kickass band. I saw them twice in concert. Once was real fun, the second show was one of the worst concerts of my life. Skiba was so screwed up they had to get a second guitar player to stand off stage and play his guitar parts. I don't even think the volume was on for his guitar. He mumbled and slurred his way through the show, but it was bad.There is no shame in that game. It's on the rebound these days with the kids.Now there's a name I haven't heard in forever. Used to be very into them in early college in my pop punk/emo phase15.a - Alkaline Trio - 97 (1997) -![]()
. Good stuff.
I got into them right after high school. I was smoking a lot of weed and was in kind of a post high school/early college depressed stage of my life (01-03). I had a real ugly break-up with a very serious GF and all I did was party, but the partying felt empty and I was worried about what I was actually going to do with my life. I had a new semi-GF that I really hated, but she was hot and put out. I had a huge crush on her best friend and was desperately trying to figure out how to switch girls, but I was trapped. Luckily, this was also he era of Limewire, so my friends and I were getting high and stealing music all day long. Somehow we stumbled on the Trio and it just spoke to us. The lyrics were dark, twisted, but not without a sense of humor. The emo-punk equivalent to ChandlerSounds about right for the Trio.

There are some songs where I just fall in love with the woman singing it. I don't care if she looks like Shirley Hemphill from What's Happening.....doesn't matter. This song ####ed me up the first time I heard it and the atmosphere built around her voice drives the stake deeper.

Yeah, it's dark stuff for sure. Cain had the (good or mis-)fortune of having the movie adaptations of his books being well made and well received. So much so, that people often don't realize they were even based on books. On the other hand, Chandler had one great adaptation, one pretty good adaptation and a ton of total duds so people always remember the books. As a side note, Chandler (with Billy Wilder) adapted Cain's Double Indemnity book into the film's screenplay. It was the only time Cain ever said he saw a movie adaptation of his book and thought, "I wish I would of thought of that" referring to the legendary dialogue in this classic scene.Well that is pretty dark. :laughs:James Cain is an author.

Since I'm on here, might as well post for the day. With it being Valentine's weekend, I'll continue with the love theme. I'm sure there will be a lot of couples at the bars tonight toasting to the security, pleasure and comfort their significant other has brought them. I always liked the old time couple. You know them, they come to the same bar together, at the same time and same night every week. Same drink order, same jukebox selections. These songs are for them and all those that have found not just a lover, but a best friend.

They Might Be Giants, Birdhouse in Your Soul (1990)
There, now I have Neko Case in my jukebox. Love Mass Romantic, though I would've loved to take a different New Pornos song with Case vocals, if the year were free.
Got a little worried about 1990 with all the talk about it being pretty barren, but "Birdhouse in Your Soul" is awesome, and a great sing-along.

Broken Social Scene, 7/4 (Shoreline) (2005)
Morten Harket's voice is a thing of beauty, and I love the energy on "7/4 (Shoreline)".

I've been hearing a lot about Chris Stapleton but can't say I've ever listened to him. Will have to check it out.
Chandler was a legendary drunk. While working on the script for "The Blue Dahlia" he was under such extreme pressure and writer's block that he told Paramount there was no way he could finish the movie sober. He got Paramount to get him a Cadillac and a driver to be stationed at his 24 hours a day and a live-in doctor to hook him up to an IV of glucose so that he could drink around the clock and finish the script. Some saw it as the ultimate sacrifice of an artist to risk his health for a movie. Most saw it as the cunning plot of a degenerate. Either way, it worked. The screenplay was done on time and Chandler got to drink on the job. The final 8 days, the producer said, "Chandler did not draw one sober breath, nor did one speck of solid food pas his lips. "No kidding. Holy cow. I love my internet friends.Their styles just mesh so well. Too bad they didn't work together on anything else.
