Genrepalooza 3: Playlists are done, phwew (1 Viewer)

Love all those reference. I wouldn’t call the Grey Album the best of the 00s but it’s great.

I think I drafted some Girl Talk a draft or 2 ago. That was the soundtrack of so many of the house parties that my wife and I threw a dozen years ago. 

 
"Rock" and "None of the Above" have both come up 4 times, maybe we can declare them fair game at this point for spotlighting and post some our favourites that haven't been selected, without worrying about spotlighting?

Get the after hours discussion going a bit more and we can add other categories as kind of open for business as they've come up a 4th time?

:shrug:

 
Although I guess that 4th trip through none of the above is technically tomorrow, so maybe just rock, which is what a lot of us are strongest in anyway.

 
11 years old and still sounds completely fresh to me.

They call me "Hell" (This song was in my head)
They call me "Stacey" (Now it's in my mind)
They call me "her" (Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timing)
They call me "Jane" 

16.11 - That's Not My Name - The Ting Tings - Dance/Electronic

I would have drafted it if I hadn't already used it before.  It's a favorite of mine.

Round 17.xx

Genre - Rock

Artist - Phoenix

Song - 1901

I did plenty of fantastically stupid things to this song, but I mainly just rocked out and enjoyed it. That makes two -- and almost three -- bands from France for me. I think I might win international awards or somethin' like that.

I saw these guys in Munich, one of my favourite concerts ever, super fun band to rock out too like you said.

Yeah, I was more going for "most indicative of" more so than "greatest." Lots of hip hop/dance/R&B dominating the mid-to-late aughts. Rock ruled until around 2005 or so, I've found.

I am at my parents house for Derby Day. 

I am not sure when I will be able to make my next picks. 

In a worst case scenario, I will catch up with things on Monday. 

Later.

Love the song, but never really thought of it as "Rock".

P.S. 1901 is one of the songs that will trigger Girl Talk from my daughters "how low can you go..."

Huh. I sort of always just thought of it as synth/rock. Maybe the broadness of rock ate itself with that pick.

Wiki calls them indie pop-rock, then lists a bunch of other genres like pop and synth pop. Hmm...

I'll stick with the pick. No fuss, no muss. I could go R&B here, but I'm just gonna stop with that which rises from ashes.

No worries, I love the song.  Glad to have it in any mix.

Yeah it was kind of predictive of where music was headed. Though from my end, I think the mid 90s is when rap caught up to rock and began passing it by from there.

Rd 17 Cheeseburger- Derby Day

Have fun @Man of Constant Sorrow

Thanks 80's.

I really love that song, but I can't find any lyrics. I may have to transcribe em myself, later.

Also, thanks for the well wishes. I hope that all here had a really great Derby Week - if it even matters to you.

As I posted in the Derby thread, this was the best Derby Week I have had since 1993. I met with friends and family all over the track, yesterday; Oak's Day. Some of these people, I had not seen since high school.

I even drank a few beers; not enough to get drunk, as my diabetes & blood sugar would have cut the day short me, but, I did get a mild alcohol buzz. The last time I drank alcohol was last Derby Week.

Maybe you ginner's ain't all bad, after all. 👍

 
Going to see "Endgame" for the 2nd time and I'm 5 bourbons in.  11:00 showing.  Wish me luck I don't fall asleep.

(p.s. my sober wife is driving and on snore patrol)

One of the titans of 21st-century hip-hop, from one of its masterpiece albums. I admit to mild surprise that this was not selected in a previous Genrepalooza.

Also - I can neither confirm nor deny that this pick was influenced by the fact that my longest-running fantasy baseball team is named "99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One". :hophead:

Genre: Rap / Hip-Hop

11.01 - Jay-Z - "99 Problems" (2004)

Not on Spotify

Had a great derby day.  We go to an annual party hosted by some Kentucky expats at a dive bar near where old Seals Stadium used to be.  The party is celebrating its 35th year but we've only been going for the past five or so.   It's an older crowd by current SF standards, with more hippies than hipsters.  

There were about 200 people, an open bar, pot luck with buckets of burgoo and lots of blind draw pools.  The race is much more exciting when you're in a roomful of screaming drunks.  I had one mint julep and a jello shot but otherwise stuck to beer and weed.  But I paced myself like it was a harness race.

That kicks asss, Eep. 

Regarding the jello shot; that is a tradition I was taught from my oldest local Derby Party - began late 70's or so. 

The hostess called the shot a Cosmo, even tho it wasn't. It did have vodka though. 

It was the wife of Loopy (from my gin story) that made them. Loopy & Mrs. Loopy did not stick together much longer after we graduated from high school. 

I think cosmos played a role in that. 

Loopy then started coming to my Derby parties every year - beginning in '94.. He is about 75 now, and I do not even want to try and keep up with his passion for partying. 

However, he also taught me to not take life too seriously, and I bless him for that.
