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

Neither of today's genres are really in my wheelhouse so I'm going with my home category.   :scared: .  

11.xx  Spoon - Everything Hits At Once  (Rock; 2001)

Like the National, Spoon is another band that I pretty much love everything they've done.  They've released 9 albums, all stellar, and 7 of them qualify for this draft.  Again, tough to pick a single song so I went with the first one that I ever heard.  I could've gone with 10 others and been just as happy but it's one of their best and it's from what I think is their best album, start to finish.

Round 11.xx

Genre - Rap/Hip Hop

Artist - Ghostface Killah

Song - Shakey Dog

This song is cemented in my brain forever. I listened to this many nights in a Springfiled, MA garage right before I was about to go to law school in 2006. This is when going out and hitting clubs was still fun to me. The song actually would enrapture me, its story enveloping me, causing a momentary, yet mandatory, pause in life like a fine narrative should. Ghostface here is at his evocative best, telling a story about a drug heist, using the descriptive devices a poet uses, making every moment as urgent as your life. A true master, Ghost could lay claim to being the real king of NYC -- and the best rapper alive -- in the early-to-mid aughts.

Was on my Rap shortlist.  :thumbup: Awesome song/album.

 
11.xx Benedictines Of Mary, Queen Of Apostles - Ravanello: Veritas Mea (Other; 2013) - Spotify link

I don't have much to say here, other than this is simply beautiful, in my opinion.

It is great way to start my Sunday - tho, I am not religious.

Spiritual? Yeah, as much as an agnostic can be. So, no preaching is going on - just a love a beauty - and, it fits my theme.

Plus, it brings back great memories of my upbringing in the Catholic Church. Regardless of my philosophical/religious opinions, church music rocked imo. That part, I do miss. 

🕍🕊️ Happy Sunday.

Sorry to ruin your Sunday you need another pick.

The composer Oreste Ravanello died in 1938.  It violates the spirit (Holy) of a 21st century Genrepalooza.

No prob.

I kinda thought that - right after I made the pick.

And, no ruin - I still listened to the whole album.

I'll make a pick after Game of Thrones later tonight/early Monday.

Thnx fer help, Eep.

 
Even without Ravanello's Veritas Mea, the None of the Above mix is like a storage room at Xanadu (the Citizen Kane one, not Olivia Newton-John's).  There's no rhyme or reason to it.  I'll try to listen to it once but I don't think it's a candidate for heavy rotation.

I liked that the track came from an album titled Angels And Saints At Ephesus.

Ephesus is the ancestral home of all Eephuses.

Yeah, it's an unpleasant little ditty.

I thought it was beautiful in only the way Sonic Youth could inspire somebody. Then again, I loved Thurston Moore's noise band, Northampton Wools, when I saw them, so I guess I'm a sucker for all things Sonic Youth-related because I usually hate noise for noise's sake. Not this band.

Be Safe is kind of anomaly in the Cribs' catalog.  They're three brothers from Northern England who weren't quite punk enough to draft in the Punk draft.  Johnny Marr was a member for awhile during his gunslinger for hire period.

My favorite Sonic Youth album Murray Street is from this century but I decided against killing the flow with eight minutes of skronk.  You're welcome :thumbup:

Like this one too.  Not hearing the Sonic Youth, though.

Sounds like a more serious Nada Surf crossed with Weezer.  And I'm a fan of both those bands.

The poem was delivered (and presumably written) by Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth.

I don't think the Jarman brothers from the Cribs know all those words.

From what I can tell, this hasn't been picked as a single song in any of our drafts which is a little surprising. I keep thinking we must have had some drafts deleted. 

Round 11

Power - Kanye West - Rap 2010

You're right, though songs off of MBDTF have been drafted before -- by Eephus, for one. I remember the song and the artist, draft, and category that he picked, but won't spotlight them.

Love this pick by you, as his pick and recommendation ultimately got me into that album, an album I now have invested upwards of thirty bucks or so total in for gatefolds and vinyl and ####.

Round 9:  Country and Covers

Round 10:  Rock and Rock

Round 11:  Rap and None of the Above 

---------------------------

Round 12 (R&B and Punk etc.) starts Monday evening.

I'll roll for round 13 in the morning

 
Round 11

Genre - Country (Home)

Follow Your Arrow - Kacey Musgraves

Perhaps a little too "modern" country for my normal liking but the lyrics are pretty clever and she does a great job with her delivery and it has just enough of the "old timey" country sound for me to like it.

Yup.

I went back to see if I had ever chosen that song before, the only instance I can see of it was you picking it in a draft a few years ago, with me giving it a like and responding by saying it's my favorite Japandroids song.  We've officially come full circle.

Yup. I kind of remember that. :lmao:

I even used the lyrics for a thread title in Rock Du Jour over in the PSF -- which you used to contribute to with musical selections. It was a title promptly changed by the moderators.
