Genrepalooza 3: Playlists are done, phwew (2 Viewers)

[Eephus]

 He's got a handful of worthy covers for consideration. And "Love Vigilantes" is just such a great tune.

A lot of acoustic cover versions fall flat for me.  The covering artists often try to be overly reverent towards the original and end up scrubbing all the life out of the song.

Beam's version of Love Vigilantes is stripped down to be sure but he transforms the song.  A listener unfamiliar with the original could easily be convinced it' comes from an 1880s folk song rather than 1980s synthpop

great thread title change

 

[Scott Tenorman]

Acoustic/Folk/Dream Pop is going to be one weird mix.

5.xx  John Cale - All My Friends  Cover

@Steve Tasker

 

[Mr. Ected]

Spreadsheet Nerd requests that you do your sorting/filtering on the second sheet. It has links to cells in the main draft sheet, so new data will be included. That way it is easier for others to deal with main sheet.

TIA!

5.xx  John Cale - All My Friends  Cover

@Steve Tasker

I considered a cover of this song as well (by a band that likely gets drafted here at some point so I won't spotlight yet)

 

[Steve Tasker]

5.14 - M83 - "We Own the Sky" (Dream Pop)

Somehow I have never chosen this song before, but it's my favorite M83 song.  It's not the million pound elephant in the room with regard to M83 in a single-song draft, but I'm gonna pick it anyway.

For Mrs. Rannous

5.07 Hugh Laurie -  St James Infirmary Blues  -  Cover

You still checked in at least four hours before I did.

And it's a great cover.

It also has a history.

 

[Eephus]

[The Dreaded Marco]

Same for me.

 

[Abrantes]

KP, ST 1, ST 2 (y'alls work out which is which) and Marco all on skip then, meaning @Eephus is up?

 

[Scott Tenorman]

My absolute favorite song from last year.  Had a chance to see him in concert last year and didn't do it.  Really regret that.

6.xx Beyond - Leon Bridges (R&B)

 

[Eephus]

We're going to see Strand of Oaks tonight so skip me for now and I'll pick whichever song blows me away tonight.

Don't snipe me bro.

@Mr. Ected

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Skip everyone

 

[Mr. Irrelevant]

Don’t make me make my turn picks while 3 bourbons deep and watching hockey.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Is this thing on?

Hi. I am Ma of Constant Sorrow. My boy, Man, is tied up right now.

Therefore, he asked me to post this for him:

5.09 Soggy Bottom Boys - Man Of Constant Sorrow (Folk; 2000)

He then said:

 I hope that makes sense to you.

Oh, he added one final note:

Whoever all you 80 are, I hope you folks get better really soon. 

Sorry for any confusion. Sometimes my boy can be a little difficult to understand. 

I have to go now. I think Man has gotten loose. 

@BigBallsLarry up

Larry. PM me some time. 

EDIT: @Long Ball Larry up

Long Ball? Never mind Larry. 

Have fun in your Magic Song League, ,

Ma of Constant Sorrow   

Kind of early for all this

ARE YOOU MOCK'N MY MAMA, EEP?!?!  

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Don't snipe me bro.

@Mr. Ected

I think Wild Pink is opening for him on this tour.  Let me know how they sound live--their albums have been among my favorites each of the past 2 years but never have seen them.

Really liking the new Strand of Oaks album too.

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

You still checked in at least four hours before I did.

And it's a great cover.

It also has a history.

I'm catching up on what I have missed since Easter business - this is really sweet Mrs. R. 

And surprising - kinda. I have been a big Hugh Laurie fan from his Blackadder days.

He is hella talented.

Oh, yeah.  If you haven't seen his Jeeves and Wooster or A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie, you should.

I will get a video link up here later, but...

6.06 - Evanescence - Bring Me to Life - Rock

Did you just take my 1.01 pick at 6.06? THE HORROR

 

[Mr. Ected]

Did you just take my 1.01 pick at 6.06? THE HORROR

OOPS! I'll repick. I didn't set up that part of the spreadsheet!!

 

[Steve Tasker]

So many great rock choices here, but as the steward of R&B in this thing, I'll change up my usual purple font in favor of orange for this one.

6.whatever - Frank Ocean - "Thinkin Bout You" (R&B)

got a beach house I can sell you in IDAHO

 

[rockaction]

I must not be hip to this Evanescence movement. Alors que?

 

[Abrantes]

A WILD PICK APPEARS~

...restarts the same song for the fourth time.

Don’t make me make my turn picks while 3 bourbons deep and watching hockey.

I should probably not stay up and watch the late game because these NHL playoffs may literally lose me in round one if Vegas and Carolina both lose their series, but...

 

[Mr. Ected]

OOPS on my first 6.06 pick. Still a good song.

6.06 - Santana - The Game of Love (ft. Michelle Branch) - Rock

 

[KarmaPolice]

I had to double check, but this album came out in 2000 so it makes the cut!

Round 5

Genre:  Covers

Song:   The White Stripes - Death Letter

 

[KarmaPolice]

This is going to be one hell of a mish mash of a mix.  I just feel like we need a song in one of the playlists from these 3 if we are talking bands of the 00s.  

Round 6

Genre:  Rock

Song:  Muse - Stockholm Syndrome

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Okie dokie

Rock

6.07 - Destruction - Joywave (2016)

this song just crushes imho.  

@Man of Constant Sorrow Up

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

6.08 Audioslave - I Am The Highway (Rock; 2002)

Lyrics are really good - they are what makes it part of my theme goal. (They are included in the video.)

Now, the music...kicks it!

Only complaint - it is a little too mainstream. I doubt that I am introducing this to anyone.

Sorry bout that - it is just too good for me to pass up.

@Abrantes - up

Oh, right.  I have my Round 7 pick all ready to go.  Not so much this round.  I'll need a few minutes.
