yeah, big whoops post.I was looking for the golf thread ...saw Tiger Woods in the header and posted.
Sabbatini and his sour#### face is near the lead in this weekend's tourney at Hilton Head and I'm watching.
Apologies. I'll find the right thread.
It is 4/20 - dudes!

3.xx McLusky - Day of the Deadringers Rock
This is from one of my favorite albums since 2000. Difficult to pick a single song because they're all great.

3.xx - The Fireman - Dance 'Til We're High (Old Fart)
Paul McCartney is arguably the most famous living musician unless some random YouTuber from Asia passed him recently. As arguably the most famous living musician, Sir Paul doesn't have to make new music. He could sit in one of his homes and count his millions. But he's an artist and creating is what artists do.
He's stayed busy over the past two decades with six solo albums, a couple of Classical projects and assorted oddball projects like this one from 2008. They definitely have their peaks and valleys(except perhaps for 2002's "Chaos and Creation..." LP which is brilliant) but I love how Paul always seems to be having a good old time, whether he's banging on a box guitar with members of Nirvana or dad dancing with Rihanna and Kanye.
But back to the Fireman. This record finds Macca collaborating with Youth from Killing Joke. McCartney wrote all the songs and plays all of the instruments with Youth twiddles the knobs. His side projects allow McCartney more room to experiment than on albums with his name on the cover. It's an album created on the fly in the studio so it has some ideas that aren't fully realized. But there are a handful of moments that hint at what the Beatles might have done if they stayed together into their 60s. "Dance 'Til We're High" is one of the standout tracks--it's a typically simple Paul tune hoisted up on a wall of sound. Take away the huge production and there's probably just a silly love song but what's wrong with that.

Also, the lyrics - a silly love song - are great.
Just a small snippet:
1st - WOOT - call out to my boy, Jamie Lannister - agains - Winter is here, dood - be ready!
2nd: 4/20 ....EVERYBODY - SING'N'DANCE!!!!

It's a terrific song but it's Genrepalooza so I went with one people may not have heard.
I also love Traveling Light, an atmospheric slow waltz where Macca alternates verses between falsetto and a low register that I've never heard from Paul before or since.

Wikipedia had The Killers as six or seven different types of "rock." There was a qualifier before each. I laughed a little bit as I picked them, but I don't think I was stretching it or anything. Just felt a little guilty that I didn't pick another band or two from the aughts that was both essential and purely traditional rock.

Spotlighting is writing about a band in the thread that is still eligible to be selected, therefore potentially spurring people's memories. It's a no-no because people feel like they're sort of acting unethically/cheating if they then select that band, which shouldn't be the case, but it's always nice to select your own band from your own memory. Sort of a funny pride thing.

Perfect - thnx.
We have similar rules in our FF drafts & auctions.
Speaking of which, has anyone ever tried a Song Auction?
It would take hella long and requires a truly dedicated group of buyers, but...
Ah - also - just got word on Adam's Dynasty League yesterday. We only have 1 opening rather than 2.
The available team is the crappy one. And, without a 2nd drop out, I don't expect anyone to offer a dispersal draft by breaking up their team to mix into a pool - as they would have nothing to gain.
Thus, it would be a true rebuild of at least 2 or 3 years - unless luck.
There is still a small chance a 2nd team will drop - which would mandate a dispersal.
But... Odds are low. Personally, I am such a fan of the rebuild process, I would give it a go, especially since it is free & has a few pros in it - solid overall.
If you are still interested, I'll send ya link.
If not, np - I understand. Sorry for the unexpected wrench.
Thnx

Yeah, Rev. Horton stood in to headline the Car Show today after Wanda Jackson cancelled. But Jim sits in on guitar with a bunch of different acts at the festival.

I have a question. If a song is a cover of a pre-2000 release - but recorded by an old fart on an original release (as opposed to a compilation or similar) post 2000...is it eligible?
I went back to OP, but didn't see anything on this specific detail. Perhaps I missed it, or perhaps it is such common knowledge that it is implied.
Thnx in advance.

Are you really there and is it really going on right now? I just remembered because I only went down the Rev. Horton Heat/Jim Heath rabbit hole because of your comments in the thread I started about over a year ago. It was interesting. He has his own model of guitar from Gretsch, I think. I wound up watching him discuss it.
Anyway, if you're there, have a cool time.

Any cover is fair game as long as it was released after 1/1/00. The age of the source material doesn't matter.

No we had to cancel our trip this year.

The song my guy is covering is about one hundred years old. A nice, fresh take on older material is always nice.

I may pick a song by an old fart that's cover of a song that's at least eighty years old. Joy.

Ah - sorry, man.Spreadsheet keeping nerd in me wants it to be complete, so can you chose a category?
Since we have ol'fart now, I think Rock will be good.
I will also edit my original post to reflect this.
Thnx.

I think Beyoncé has been taken twice but under 2 different categories (R&B, women).Didn't expect the Raconteurs to be the first (and only so far) artist picked more than once. All I've heard of theirs is "Steady As She Goes".

I've picked this band before but I don't think anyones picked this song (or much from this album). It's pretty great IMO

I can be skipped for this week. I’m on vacation. I’m staying home but will be catching up on yard work/repairs etc. I’ll pick when I check in during the evenings or lunch breaks.

We're at round four, so shouldn't the last person in order start?
I mean round one is 1.1, then the holder of the first overall pick is 2.16 or so (whatever is the last pick that round), and then 3.1, so whoever went last picks first in Round Four...I think.

Also @rockaction I appreciate your ability to disagree with civility and humility in the other thread.
rockaction
Footballguy
I appreciate that you appreciate it. I almost always (and I qualify that because I'm sure there's once...) dig your perspective and posts, no matter how much I disagree with them. I think that comes from many, many positive interactions with you. I'm always willing to listen and hear, and you write and communicate in such a way that it's very intelligent and considered, two things I respect. You seem eminently fair, if I don't always agree. There are people on the board that have a calming effect on me personally. You're one of them.
So peace, man.
