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

Alrighty...

My 1st round pick was Crazy by Gnarles Barkley - this will follow the general theme, but hopefully, it may be a new song to some.

2.08 Heartless Bastards - Hold Your Head High - HearYa Live Session (Female)

I told the story of how Adam played Crazy for me in '08; well, this is what I sent him a few years later - in return - as my journey kept progressing upwards. I would like to post the lyrics, as it is not a big hit, and the words mean sooo much to me.

Also, in the spirit that I sent it to Adam; I now send it to all here - thnx fer bein' good peeps. 👍

Lyrics:


I've made a lot of choices
Most have not been wise
But I have some really good friends
I've been fortunate to find
They get through the lonely days
When I want to stay inside myself
They get me out of my shell
Out into the world


I am coming back, I'm coming back again
I had lost everything and then I got it back again
I dug myself so deep, deep into a hole
Then getting out was so far beyond my control

In the past I've always had trouble on my mind
I'm gonna take that feeling and leave it far behind
As I go down this path traveling through my fate
Lately I have begun to awake

It all started out in Jackson and we moved across the land
And all the dehydration turned the soil into sand
And then one day they hauled me away
And I was out there, out on my own

The thieves, they came and went
They took everything in sight
And then we got it back again
Oh, I had to fight

And I, then I woke up from the middle of the strangest dream
And everyone was there that I ever knew and they all began to sing
Hold you head high, just as high as you can
Things will work out soon, things will come round again
You see I've got this fascination with all the wrong ways to go
I get lost even in the places that I know

Hold your head high, just as high as you can
Things will work out soon, things will come round again
Hold your head high, just as high as you can
Things will work out soon, things will come round again

You can change your home category until you use it for a pick.  Abrantes gets an exception because the rules translated poorly to Portuguese.  He needs a round 1 repick and a new home.  That Battles song is thrown back into the pond.

Magnaníssimo da sua parte, parceiro.  :suds:

I'll take Female as my home category, and since I'm up:

1.xx Sleater-Kinney, Jumpers (2005) (Female)

(So I guess I could've taken this under Rock too, but the home category switch suits me better.)

2.xx Hatchie, Sure (2017) (Dream Pop)

Like a new, less obscure Cocteau Twins track (Robin Guthrie actually did a remix for it, but I'm taking the original), and it's just lovely.

Cool beans on the changing of the home category. I've been dying to do a rap/hip hop draft so I'll change mine to that category. 

 
My buddy who does the beer for the local craft beer bar called me at noon to see if I wanted to meet him for lunch. Wife had stuff to do with her parents anyway. Sent other (music festival) friend a message and he joined as well. 

Had a blackberry/raspberry sour, an incredible India pale lager and a dry hopped sour. 

Tonight there's a Leafs game on TV at 7 and a Tokyo Police Club concert at the local dive bar at 10.

So I may not end up back in this thread tonight but it's going to be a good night 🍻  :headbang: :suds:

Yikes, that draft was eight years ago.  It was for albums.

Albums are a different beast from singles and the Genrepalooza format intentionally shuffles the deck, but it's interesting to me to see how our tastes have shifted since 2011.  The earlier draft was very rock centric and tipped heavily toward male artists.

For some reason, I get an error when I tried the playlist links in the OP. Is that the wrong place to go?

Also, I checked out the spreadsheet - nice.

However, I wanted to see how each person was drafting - so that I could get an idea of the type of "theme" each person was forming (now that most have 2 picks) -  but, if I tried to sort by drafter, it would have changed the sheet for everyone.

Would it be possible for me to copy that list, and create a 2nd page - that is sorted by drafter?

Or, does that already exist somewhere?

This is fun, btw.

You can filter the Google sheet by clicking the triangular icon to the right of the label in row #1.

ETA:  the playlist links work for me.  Anybody else having problems?
