7.xx Very Special Duke Ellington (featuring Charles Mingus and Max Roach).

Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was an American composer, pianist, and bandleader born in Washington, D.C. While he is most associated with New York (Harlem Renaissance, Cotton Club, etc.), he formed his first band in D.C. in 1917. They played parties throughout the D.C. area for both black and white audiences. until he left for New York in 1923. It is only fitting America's capital composer got his start out of America's capital city.

 
This is the first song that cones to mind for this category - I thought of some great ones that reference athletes but not their team.

Saw these guys last month play the album this comes from front to back, it was great.

7.18 - The Tragically Hip - Fifty Mission Cap (Song that mentions a sports team).



Bill Barilko disappeared that summer,

He was on a fishing trip.

The last goal he ever scored

Won the Leafs the cup

They didn't win another until 1962,

The year he was discovered.

I stole this from a hockey card

 
Wow the international category looks like a well picked over carcass, but here's a big chunk of meat overlooked.

7.11 - Entre dos Aguas - Paco DeLucia ... Spain

I may come back and pick a different tune from Paco.

In the beginning I was most interested in compiling a cohesive mix, but the imposed scarcity has kind of left me scrambling. Hopefully when I'm done there will be some correct way to arrange everything.

I might mulligan one of mine for the same reason at the end of the draft.

Yeah, my Townes Van Zandt pick is not setting well and is on my mulligan list. I love Townes, but he's not the kind of talent that lends well to mixes; I have be all-in for a dark day devoted to him to appreciate his body of work.

But then again, are there any other good songs in the world about being sedated?

Seven Eleven is the one not sitting well with me. I like the song - but it is going to be a little jarring no matter where I put it in the mix.

7.10 Cecil Taylor - Jonathan Wilson

State of origin - Jonathan Wilson was born in North Carolina

I guess jazz musician Cecil Taylor played on the White House Lawn for Jimmy Carter at some point, but I'm not really sure what meaning Jonathan Wilson is conveying through using that imagery in this song. I still really like this song though.

 
I think I'm going to zig with my draft- a lot of these more left-field picks are inspiring, so I'll throw these two out there.

I was going to go with a Hold Steady tune for drugs/alcohol, and still might swap it in since this doesn't exist on spotify, or even on youtube much... but for now I'm going with on of my favorite local bands ever (from the 90s)... kind of a supergroup of indie kids (camper van beethoven, mr, bungle, etc):

6:5 Snowblind in the Liquor Store- Dieselhed (drugs/alcohol)

Her breath smelt warm, warm with Kahlua. Kahlua and coke, clove cigarettes.

7.17 Steamroller- The Family Cat (sports)

Steamroller mine, gonna roll over you.

Steamroller mine, gonna roll over you.

and the Saints are playing at home today.

and the Saaaaa----aaaaaaints.

Saints= Southampton FC. ALso not on Spotify.

 
Going reggae flavor at the 6 and 7 turn:

6.xx "Don't Box Me In" - Stewart Copeland and Stan Ridgway (solo artist - Police)

Sort of a two-for-one solo act - could have gone Wall of Voodoo as the artist instead, but they're not all that popular themselves outside of "Mexican Radio". Really liked this tune ever since it came off the Rumble Fish soundtrack - very unique and creative.

7.xx "Haitian Divorce" - Steely Dan (drug/alcohol - zombie)

"She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell."

Great talk box work from Dean Parks here - one of their best tunes IMO.

Isn't the state supposed to be where the artist is from?

No intention of anything cohesive for me. I am aiming for more of a representative mix of music I like.

Nooooo. I like 25,000+ songs, but if I want to make an impression, I wish to pick and choose a song sequence with a purpose.

It's with good reason nobody likes ginger on their pizza.

It's my first draft so maybe next time I can try something cohesive. I'm just picking songs I like that fit the categories and represent the styles I like.

I'm having similar problems with my mix flow as well, which leads to this question for the commish: if I'm going to replace my international song, do I need to replace it with a different song by the same band OR a song from a different band from the same country OR a song from a band from a different non-drafted country all together? All of the above?

The honorable thing to do would be to stick with the same country. I don't think there would be any complaints about that.

I don't think you should be able to change countries because part of this draft is blocking others. Same for any category. If you picked beer, you should only be able to change for another beer song.

That makes sense to me. So either of the first 2 options I listed but not the third?

That's my opinion. I think it would be kind of BS to block a category and then take it back later.
 
I was going to play this song for the Drug/Alcohol category. It mentions a "Malibu and Coke" or if simey's suggestion of that for Zamboni's pick, then can I just do 'Alcohol?'

The Barenaked Ladies - Alcohol

A love song to alcohol. :)

"Alcohol"

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the cafe latte,
screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

Would you please forgive me?
Would you please forgive me?
