@Hov34 is on permaskip and can pick when he wants. I’m up.

Lithium channel 

Round 6. Butterfly — Screaming Trees

You’ve never heard the Tangled Up in Blue riff like this before.

@Yo Mama is up.

 

[rockaction]

I should have done a grunge covers theme for this round, but I was racing around this morning and wasn't thinking. I totally bricked.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Covers, Deep Tracks, Jam On and Lithium Channel playlists all up to date. 

Do we have links to these?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Also, what did those dice rolls mean?

COVERS

All Along the Watchtower - The Jimi Hendrix Experience

One of my all time favorites

I should have done a grunge covers theme for this round, but I was racing around this morning and wasn't thinking. I totally bricked.

I thought about trying to find a way to cover all 4 before. A Springsteen Christmas song, an international jam band, etc. Glad I didn't because I  could do an Elvis deep cut but Soul Cycle Down Beat doesn't work at all.

Another Dylan cover!

I think we have to wait for @Eephus to tell us 

 

[Yo Mama]

I think we have to wait for @Eephus to tell us 

He’s like an oracle reading the future out of a bowl of chicken bones

 

[Ilov80s]

He’s like an oracle reading the future out of a bowl of chicken bones

Really is. The most coverable artist ever and his songs just work over so many styles and decades. The 3 songs we chose all sound so different too. Dylan is like water. Flows, adapts but always necesary. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Also I was very close to actually taking the Dave Mason cover of All Along the Watchtower. He isn't Hendrix or SRV but I just love his guitar playing. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I think he was talking about @Eephus turning the dice rolls into categories.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Do we have links to these?

They’re in the thread maybe a page or two back but I’ll also try and provide the links again later.

[mphtrilogy]

Prime Country, Steve Earle - Guitar town

 

[Eephus]

5.12 - k.d. lang & The Reclines - Pullin' Back the Reins (Prime Country)

I don't know a lot of her music, but when I hear her she sounds really good.

She crossed over from Country after this album but always carried a bit of her twang with her on her Pop records.

 

[Eephus]

Elvis deep cut but Soul Cycle Down Beat doesn't work at all.

Safe on third with a stand-up triple

 

[Ilov80s]

I think he was talking about @Eephus turning the dice rolls into categories.

Yep, I just quoted him about Dylan and he replied back so I had Dylan on the brain. 

 

[Ilov80s]

Eephus?

Can you prove Eephus and Dylan aren't the same man?

 

[Eephus]

Eephus?

Flowing and adapting with my bowl of chicken bones since things shut down.

 

[Eephus]

Can you prove Eephus and Dylan aren't the same man?

I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

 

[Hov34]

Prime Country

Round 6  -  Covers  -  I'm Shakin' -  Jack White

 

[Eephus]

This is a tough round because I love grunge and cover songs- almost went with covers for the jukebox draft. Some covers work and some don't but I still listen to quite a few just in case. This is one that sounds like a bad idea but I really like it. From one of my fav tribute discs

Round6 Covers

The Cure- Purple Haze

Never heard this before

 

[Buffaloes]

zam has timed out.

@Buffaloes is OTC

good grief, you guys are fast. Sorry, I will make a pick here in a little bit

 

[Raging weasel]

I almost did an Elvis Xmas song. Little Less Conversation  could work for Elvis/SoulCycle

 

[Raging weasel]

Never heard this before

Let me know if you like it.

 

[simey]

good grief, you guys are fast. Sorry, I will make a pick here in a little bit

We haven't moved very fast. We had at least five hours of time outs. 

 

[simey]

Are you getting alot of 504 errors? Thought it was just me cause I can't use my work WiFi network

Yes. On and off all day.

 

[Buffaloes]

5    .    9    Buffaloes                time out
 

This was Cracker - Eurotrash Girl (Lithium)

 

[Raging weasel]

Globalization (worldwide hits)

90s on 9 (pop hits)

Comes Alive! (Live songs)

Soul Town (Motown/classic soul)

These are good- can work around Globalization.

 

[Eephus]

We haven't moved very fast. We had at least five hours of time outs. 

Please put/keep me on autoskip. 

 

[Eephus]

These are good- can work around Globalization.

It's a sphere

 

[Raging weasel]

Great pick! Screaming Trees and Mark Lanigan are often ignored or forgotten by most.

 

[simey]

Please put/keep me on autoskip. 

I think we did skip you and Mrs. R.

 

[Buffaloes]

Well I was all set to take probably my fav Trees song and then I saw @Pip's Invitation took a Trees song. But I'm still going to go with the song I had in mind. These guys seemed underplayed compared to some of their contemporaries so we can make up for it a little with a relative glut on our channel

Round 6

Lithium

Screaming Trees - Alice Said

I didn't know until recently that Chris Cornell produced this album and I read that he's one of the vocals doing the Alice Said vocal fade out at the end. so it's got that going for it

 

[Buffaloes]

[Pip's Invitation]

And #1 is?

 

[simey]

Awesome. Thanks for doing those, Doc! 

You're up.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Never heard this before

Me neither. I kind of liked it. It was even more different than I would have thought. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Mudhoney or how far we going back? 

 

[KarmaPolice]

You're up.
