**Fake Scarcity Mixtape Draft #1: Tuesday picks 12 & 4PM EDT (1 Viewer)

[simey]

5.03: The Black Crowes - Good Friday (day of the week/month of the year in the title)

I never realized what a little guy Chris Robinson is until the first time I saw them live. They put on a great show.

 

[Mr. Ected]

Not sure if this qualifies for the Band/Solo category, but if you ask the average person from that era, The Bangles were huge.

Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs - I've Seen All Good People (Your Move/All Good People) - Band/Solo

Nice that Steve Howe played on the track.

 

[Northern Voice]

We're going to keep the draft going through tomorrow and then switch to one pick per day (plus makeups) starting on Saturday.

Back to regular draft next week or one per day going forward?

Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs - I've Seen All Good People (Your Move/All Good People) - Band/Solo

Nice that Steve Howe played on the track.

I mentioned Sweet/Hoffs a few pages back with their cover of "September Gurls". They did a couple of albums worth of covers together, and they do a great rendition on most.

5.8 Some Might Say - Oasis - nuclear family

 

[Northern Voice]

5.8 Some Might Say - Oasis - nuclear family

I was really hoping Oasis had a top 5 US Hit - their highest charting single peaked at #8.

They have 19 UK Top 5 hits, including blockbusters like "The Shock of the Lightning" and "Sunday Morning Call".

Their stuff is very well done. I just wasn't sure if she would fit into this category, some may have forgotten The Bangles walking like Egyptians.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

4.21 Whipping Post - The Allman Brothers Band (Category - Nuclear Family)

These guys are legendary, its just too damn bad that Duane went so early.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

5.01 Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul McCartney (Category - Solo Artist that wasn't as popular as their group)

What a song. This was tough because I am more naturally drawn to more of George Harrison's solo catalog but this song has such a pull. When Paul is good he is so very good and when he is bad ...he can be so very bad.

Paul was hugely popular but none of them were ever going to surpass the Beatles.

 

[Eephus]

Nice turn Binky

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

5.xx The Chameleons - Thursday's Child (Day of the week)

Another band that should've been bigger. I try to take one of their songs in all of these drafts.

 

[simey]

5.xx The Chameleons - Thursday's Child (Day of the week)

Another band that should've been bigger. I try to take one of their songs in all of these drafts.

They were around at the right time for their sound. I wonder why they didn't become more well-known.

 

[simey]

5.12 - Whiskey - Trampled by Turtles (Category: USA song by state - Minnesota)

I saw these guys three weeks ago at Merlefest, and they were fantastic.

 

[simey]

I PMd hagmania.

 

[Eephus]

We're going to keep the draft going through tomorrow and then switch to one pick per day (plus makeups) starting on Saturday.

Back to regular draft next week or one per day going forward?

I assume we'll finish round #5 today at least. That would leave 6-7 over the weekend. We could do morning and afternoon picks on Mon-Tues to bring us through round 11. I think there will some mix jockeying after that and we can finish things up with the wild card round on Wed.

 

[Gr00vus]

Are we in a big hurry to finish this for some reason?

Not a big fan of the clock being on over the weekend.

 

[Hov34]

5.12 - Whiskey - Trampled by Turtles (Category: USA song by state - Minnesota)

I saw these guys three weeks ago at Merlefest, and they were fantastic.

Very Nice. Was thinking of them for another category. (Also there goes my purple guy from Minnesota...)

 

[Eephus]

No clock over the weekend.

Post one pick whenever Saturday and one on Sunday.

 

[El Floppo]

5.03: The Black Crowes - Good Friday (day of the week/month of the year in the title)

I never realized what a little guy Chris Robinson is until the first time I saw them live. They put on a great show.

little?

he subletted a loft the floor below an old office of mine (15yo ago), so we'd share the elevator occasionally. I remember him being normal, tallish? but very skinny. *caveat- my memory sucks.

other things I remember about him- he had a neapolitan mastiff (my favorite dog). also- any time the elevtor door to his loft opened, it was like spicoli's van door opening. he might have smoked just a little bit of marji.

[El Floppo]

Nice turn Binky

no doubt- some heavy hitters there.

every time somebody picks a family song- I'm at not remembering the family part... even when it's part of the band name.

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm at the dentist, if my pick comes up by 2, you can skip me.

Thanks, added NZ to the list!!

Little as in very skinny. The first time I saw him was at a Furthur Festival in the 90s, and he had on these tight bell bottom jeans and a t-shirt, and he was really thin.

hagmania times out at 1:26, and then JuddZilla is up.

gotcha- that fits my memory too. scary skinny- auschwitzy. for a guy that clearly smoked as much pot as he did- surprised he didn't eat more.

 

[hagmania]

Skip me, I'll pick in a bit.

Autoskip for the rest of the weekend actually. I'll pick soon for this one, but out of pocket the rest.

Nice turn Binky

Thanks man! I really hope to turn some of the FBGs onto these classics or remind them of how good they are and bring out the old playlists on spotify. Its also great to discover other stuff people love. Love these drafts - thanks for running it!

The more drafts we do, the more I've shied away from the classics as great as they are. Just have taken them too many times over the years.

 

[simey]

Mrs. R is up. Eephus do you have her pick?

I am trying to stay away from stuff I have taken in the past, but I don't have those lists anymore so I can't be sure. There are just so many.

Big Star reminds me of TU. Do you all remember that his M.O. would be that he would get a little over halfway through a music draft, and then he would just disappear from the thread and not come back?

 

[Kraft...]

5.01 Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul McCartney (Category - Solo Artist that wasn't as popular as their group)

What a song. This was tough because I am more naturally drawn to more of George Harrison's solo catalog but this song has such a pull. When Paul is good he is so very good and when he is bad ...he can be so very bad.

Simp-ly hav-ing a wonderful Christmas time. . . . . oof

Here's to TU

Allman Brothers are a huge blind spot for me. Not sure I have heard more than a song or two of their stuff. Love these drafts as a reminder to get my ### in gear on stuff like this.

Yes, I do.. more often than not

guy only ever marched to his own beat

Thanks busta simes

Big Star - Thirteen

Would he come back and make it rain with picks? I was able to track some of his drafts down for the Spotify lists, so he seemed to finish them at some point.

 

[Eephus]

[Mrs. Rannous]

Thanks for the assist, Eephus.

5.16 "Run to the Hills" - Iron Maiden

Could have taken either Redskins or Indians for my sports team, but I'll pick the Indians. I can't stand Dan Snyder.

 

[El Floppo]

I think because it's a nice spring day here, and because my sick cat woke me up in the middle of night, I'm feeling a little more mellow than the direction I was setting up for my mix. plus Massive Attack pretty goes with anything...

5.17 Saturday Come Slow- Massive Attack (day of the week/month)

 

[Northern Voice]

I assume that pick is 5.17 and I'm up?

I love this song and feel like it was really overlooked when it was released:

5.18 - Brett Anderson - Back to You - solo from guy with bigger band (Suede)
