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

[zamboni]

I've got other drugs/booze if there is controversy over the zombie cocktail.

 

[El Floppo]

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.

Spoiler

"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?

also mentions G&T, fwiw.

eta:

my fav "alcohol" song

"Alcohol"

Yeah o yeah you seen me walkOn burning bridges

Yeah o yeah you seen me fall

In love with witches

And you know my brain is held

Inside by stitches

Yet you know I did survive

All of your lovely sieges

And you know that I'll pick up

Every time you call

Just to thank you one more time

Alcohol

And you know that I'll survive

Every time you come

Just to thank you one more time

For everything you've done

Alcohol

Alcohol

And I'm sorry some of us

Given you bad name

yeah o yeah, cause without you

Nothing is the same

Yeah o yeah i miss you so

Every time we break up

Just to hit a higher note

Every time we make up

Who's crawlin' up my spine - alcohol

I've been waiting long long time - alcohol

Now you teach me how to rhyme - alcohol

Just don't stab me in the back with cartisol

Now we reunite - alcohol

And forever be divine - alcohol

Screw a light bulb in my head - alcohol

may that ceremony be happy or sad...

[Eephus]

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?

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?

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.

You guys sure are some hardassed nerds. I intentionally put the mulligan round before the wild card round so people could swap songs freely. If someone drops an artist, country, number, etc. you want, there's nothing preventing you from picking up the discard and dropping your pick from the category.

 

[Mister CIA]

Because I don't think he'd ever be drafted here, and because I'm averse to starting new threads, I'll impose now and say that YouTubing Vince Guaraldi is my new favorite guilty pleasure. I love his music.

Interesting, ExponentialBeer.com is available.

"A Flower is a Lovesome Thing" is my favorite album by him. It's a very chill album, and nice to hear when having a nice dinner or just relaxing.

[Mrs. Rannous]

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.

Anybody want to argue over including names of cocktails?

I'd count it as rum. Rum is its main liquor ingredient.

Seems reasonable

This is the internet; you can't be reasonable.

 

[Gr00vus]

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.

lol.... dammit- that's snipe #3. great tune. liked that it if you imagined in your head what a Wall of Voodoo and Police mashup would sound like- it would be that tune.

I thought I had this one in the bag. Can't believe there were two other people lined up for it ahead of me.

We were averaging about 2 rounds/day and there are a lot of people on skip. I think you suggested having a free for all am pick and a pm pick on Monday and Tuesday. That gives us Wednesday for the potpourri round and mulligans. I thought it was a good idea.

I was going to suggest this exact same thing. Much better than waiting some indeterminate time to make a pick.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

7.01 I Need to Know - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers (Category - USA state - Florida)

Trying to go with lots of memories here. So many good tunes from these guys, but this song was my introduction to them.

First time I heard it - it was on the radio in my friends apartment. Only he wasn't home and I just happened to be breaking in through the 3rd floor window from the fire escape in order to have sex with a very attractive mid-30s divorcee I had met at a club.

It was a good night.

Wiki: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is an American rock band from Gainesville, Florida.

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Since there's not a lot of Go-Betweens chatter on this board, this seems like the best place to post an Australian TV documentary on the band's 16 Lovers Lane album. Marco will love it but I think some others might find it interesting. I always like shows that talk about the making of an album, the technical stuff, the gossip, the stories behind the songs.

Go Betweens were a Brisbane band (3rd biggest city in Oz) and were snubbed by the bigger Sydney and Melbourne markets outside the indie darling audience.

In Brisbane however they had a strong following and their legacy is a major bridge in Brisbane called "The Go Between bridge", named through a popular vote in 2009.

I never got into them, but what I've heard sounds nice. They were too cool for me in the 80s and I just never got around to listening to them

Not sure if it ruled out 11, 59 or 1159.

There is a very popular song with 59 in it that may still be taken.

Do we have an official determining factor of whether a solo artist or his/her band is more popular? I have one where I'm on the fence. Band has more Spotify followers, but solo has more individual song listens.

IMO if you have to question it, you should find something clearer.
