OK, looks like I'm up at 9.09 - figure the skips have been planned. Also, I see that I labeled my last pick as 8.09 - should have been 8.08, but the spreadsheet has it listed correctly - nice work.

Anyways, i have a question that I should have asked yesterday. Thus, if anyone is ready to skip me, before I get an answer, please do so.

Here is the question:

The song I want to select, is a cover - it was first released on an album pre-2000. Then, it was officially released as a single post-2000 - by the same cover artist.

What is the opinion here? Valid/legal - or nay?

I will pick once I get this cleared up.

Again, skip me if necessary.

Thnx in advance.

Also, 80s - glad your test turned out good. Have a fun Friday off.

There's some leeway if the song was like the third single off on a 1999 album.  If it was a re-release of an old song as a movie tie-in or something, that's more iffy.

Make the pick and let's see.  Worst case is you take a mulligan and get another song.

 
Thanks Eep. 🙂

The song by this artist was originally released on an album in 1994. It was a cover of a song written by Leonard Cohen, from his album Various Positions (1984). This cover was posthumously released as a single in 2007. Of import, I believe, this song did not really get full attention until the 21st century - tho, that may not matter for our purposes here. Thus, as Eep stated, I will throw it out and see if it sticks to the wall.

9.09 Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Cover; 2007 - single release)

I really don't have much to say about the song, as I am sure all here have heard it. It is simply beautiful - one of the most haunting songs I have ever heard. Even though it is so well known, I still want to include the lyrics. They are supremely special.

Whether this picks sticks or not - please listen & enjoy.

😇

Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah


Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

But baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah

So if a single was released on Jan 3, 2000, does it count? New song, album released in Sept 1999.

Kinda joking...

We've always allowed either the album or single release date in song drafts.  For example, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall album was released in Aug 1979.  The title track was released as a single the following Feb.  The song would be eligible in either a 70s or 80s draft. 

It would also be eligible for a player from Notre Dame or Northwestern.

Gotcha. What do you do if there is no specific date for the release of a song? Do you go with the release of the album?

Okay. That's still really good. You have psoriasis? I have esophageal GERD, and I'm due for an endoscopy in the next year coupled with a likely biopsy, too. Oof.

Upper or lower or both?

I just went through both this past month - posted about it K's Beatles thread.

In all seriousness good luck. Also, if you do a lower, be reeeeaaaaalllllly careful after all the industrial level laxatives kick in. They can be subtle in their effects. Luckily, my Pa had some rubbber undies that helped out a lot - tho they were about 12 sizes too big. I just taped em up like baby diapers.

Saved my ### a few times.

Good luck.

 
COVERS

So many covers, so hard to choose, but I know less than zero about country, my only weakness (as a human being, I mean, not just in this draft.  well country and kryptonite).  Anyway, I've said too much already, but this is a cover that kind of has a country vibe (well, bluegrass anyway) and I like it.  I like it a lot.

9.10 - When Doves Cry - Sarah Jarosz (2017)

@Mr. Ected

P. S. I also realized last night that getting the spotify links is so much better on mobile, because I can keep playing and keep browsing (not having to keep youtube app open)

Like the song and good idea on Spotify. I agree. I will try to include links to both sources (when possible) in all of my future picks.

There’s a whole book written about this song that I read a number of years back.

There’s a great story about Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan having lunch together a Dylan tells Cohen how great he thinks the song is and asked him how long it took him to write it and Cohen answers something like “eight years”. He then asks Dylan how long it took him to write X (can’t remember which song) and Dylan respond “a half hour”.

Was just listening to Songs Of Leonard Cohen this morning. Loving it. He's one of the few singer/songwriters everybody speaks glowingly of that I can really listen to and relate to, for some reason. Good stuff. 

 
I'll always remember where I was when I heard Buckley's Hallelujah because I was on a Virgin Airlines flight from PHI (I think) back to England where I was stationed, and there were like 10 people on the flight, and the whole damn plane felt like first class.  My first kid had just been born and I'd just gotten married all in the same stateside holiday trip.  Also the Niners won the Super Bowl - for the last time ever. I'd missed my connection to Heathrow on United, due to whatever, weather? and because I was Air Force and raised a stink about having to get back they hooked me up with this flight, on Branson's brand new airline.  I got sloshed for free, smoked about half a pack of Camels (pretty sure the only flight in my life that was allowed), played some Mario Bros and watched Shawshank Redemption on that flight.  And at some point was checking out the alt-rock tunes.. this came on late in the flight and just had me catatonic.. I'd heard of him and knew  Grace got rave reviews but hadn't run into it.  I got back to base and picked up the album as soon as I could find it.. played it for my so-called friends, to mostly jeers.  I guess there's a time and a place.  Another act that was just hitting at that time was Weezer and everybody just loved them. <_< Anyway this was all Feb 1995.  That album's still a great period piece for me, nothing else quite like it, and as it turns out rock music was really at the tail end of its evolution.  Interesting to ponder what his career might have been like had he not gone for that swim..

Anyway that song felt like a closing theme on what had been a fateful journey and even that weird empty flight itself seems like something that could have only happened in the mid-nineties.. still brings me back..

I've probably told this story here before but here we are, old as hell and still talking tunes.  Carry on!

Alllrighty, now...I am back with a new selection for round 9.

9.09 Brick+Mortar - Voodoo Child (Cover; 2015)  - Spotify link

Ok, I once posted here at FBG's, that when I die, Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is the song I want play'n at my grave side when the dirt is bein' shoveled. At one time, I only liked 3 versions of the song:

1) Jimi's

2)  Stevie's (SRV)

3) Ben Harper's when I saw him live in the 90's

Other than that, I felt all other versions fell short...until I found this one. I don't know anything about Brick + Mortar, but I know a whole lot about this song. And, I like what B+M did here. I still want Jimi's original version played when I'm buried, but this version will work for my wake.

I will include lyrics (ya'll now know I'm a lyrics junkie) below, cause they are slightly different than Jimi's.

Happy Friday.

Well I stand up next to a mountain
Well I stand up next to a mountain
Well I pick up all the pieces, maybe even make, maybe make a little sense
Well I pick up all the pieces, maybe even make, maybe make a little sense
Well I stand up next to a mountain and I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well I stand up next to a mountain and I chop it down with the edge of my hand

Cause I'm a voodoo child
Yeah
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
Yeah

Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child

I got pretty good seats on StubHub. 23 rows back behind plate and just a bit off to the right for around $40 USD. It felt like he was being squeezed a bit but I was off centre enough to not truly be able to judge. 

I'm really glad I went. The ovations for every plate appearance, the near-miss deep flyout and the ninth inning two strike double were all fun Vlad moments to be part of. 

The walk off home run win was obviously great too and I said to my wife that Stroman should have stayed in for the eighth inning, so I got to be smugly correct when biagini immediately let Oakland tie it, but that all got Vlad the last plate appearance and set the stage for the great ending. 

I had a great couple beers (Oxbow Italo Disco and a local APA for the beer nerds) and sausage (including great vegan options for my wife) from WVRST before the game and got to see a couple get kicked out for smuggling in alcohol and another guy who was a dead ringer for the wrestler Goldberg get tossed out from drunkenness to "Goldberg" chants. 

All in all, a very good Friday night.
