Round 11.xx

Category: XMU

Artist: The Drums

Song: Let's Go Surfing

Perfect. This song has been in my head since the NFL started blasting its hip hop/remix version of it, and it's perfect for this channel. It's also pretty retro timeless, so I'm thrilled. Reminds me of the La's meeting surf rock meeting Casio keyboard claps.

This album is as good as I remember, though it can get a bit cloying, IIRC. But it works in small doses very effectively.

I was really hoping a few other people would take ownership of some of the playlists. I've put 7 of them together now and will keep them updated but I really can't handle doing all of them.

 

[Doug B]

9.16: "More Human Than Human", White Zombie (Octane)





10.03: "In the Still of the Night", The Five Satins (50s on 5)





11.16: "(Let's Go) Smoke Some Pot", Dash Rip Rock (XMU)

With AndrewClark out, I guess it's @Ilov80s

If you go to the title of your playlist, hover over it and click "Make Public." That way the responsibility falls on us to add the songs to the list.

They all are public now. I don't mind updating the ones I've set up.

How do we find your lists? The ones in the OP appear to be the ones from the first two rolls.

Oh, okay.

I set up the Prince one and added songs.

They’re scattered in the thread then.

The Search function can return a list of only your posts (or anyone else's) in this thread. That should make them easier to find. @Pitchfork can then put them in the OP as we go.

 

[Ilov80s]

Today we celebrate the 221st birthday of Austrian composer and friend of Mozart and Haydn, Carl Ditters Von Dittersdorf. I heard there a mass shoring in Austria today and my thoughts are with them, gorgeous country and incredibly rich musical heritage.

Peaceful, relaxing and playful. What we all need right now.

Yes a bunch are in OP. I'll go through and add others this evening

 

[Doug B]

Oh, okay.

I set up the Prince one and added songs.

Genrepalooza Prince Playlist - Spotify Radio

I have a Spotify account but have never really used it. How do you add songs to a playlist? I have yours open, but cannot find a way to add anything.

...

Meanwhile ...

"Darling Nikki", Prince

 

[Ilov80s]

Saying Carl von Dittersdorf name out loud is fun too. Sounds like an alias from Fletch.

 

[rockaction]

The only way I can figure it out is to load the app on your phone and go from there. I'm not kidding. I haven't figured out how to add songs, either.

 

[rockaction]

I added Darling Nikki, Doug B. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

The only way I can figure it out is to load the app on your phone and go from there. I'm not kidding. I haven't figured out how to add songs, either.

If you go into the playlist there's an oval button above the song list that says "add songs".

 

[rockaction]

I guess it's back around to me.

Dude, I forgot we could add classical this round. Right up your alley, anyway.

eta* And I did not read your whole post and missed the mass shooting in Austria. Tragic. Senseless. Love to all touched.

I didn’t even read about. We have enough #### to deal with here these next few days and months but I hope it’s not too bad. I really don’t want to know. My wife and I have a dream of retiring to Austria.

Ah. I was doing it on a laptop.

I never have really caught on to adding apps to my phone all willy-nilly. Always thought keeping the total number of apps low on my phone was a good thing. Older phone, space at a premium.

Mobile interface only?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Mobile interface only?

I mostly use the mobile app. My work blocks music sites on my laptop.

 

[rockaction]

Some great stuff in the Prince channel. I'll try and update for those without mobile.

I'd forgotten all about Pop Life, simey. What a cool song!

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

SInce no one has picked my favorite Prince song, it falls to me.

Round 11  -  Prince  -  Cream

The video is the original long version.  Just the song will do for the playlist.

This was the first Prince album I heard, before I knew Prince was "Prince".

Also before he was a merger of these two guys.

I think it works in reverse on laptops. Go to song- click on options- should be add to playlist option. Think you have to listen to the playlist once to have it be an option.

Sorry about getting skipped. feel free to skip me the next few days

How many do I owe? Haven't been @tted in a while.

@Doug B glad to see you back on here. hope you made it through the storm alright.

 

[Doug B]

@Doug B glad to see you back on here. hope you made it through the storm alright.

The worst of it for us was merely dealing with two days without power, and four days without home Internet/WiFi. No real property damage, no personal peril.

Thanks for the good wishes  

 

[Eephus]

11.12 - Prince - Cinnamon Girl (Prince)

Not a Neil Young cover but an original from the Artist's mid-2000s truce in his war against the music industry.  It's a lovely piece of Pop that's a bit reminiscent of "Raspberry Beret" but with post 9/11 politics in the lyrics and a sweet guitar solo.

As I am a man of the people...

Keep draft order 

Or 

AM and PM picks?

 

[Pitchfork]

Also, I'm working with my boss all day tomorrow so I likely won't be able to check in at all during the day. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

I am cool with either, but my preference is this for drafts like GP where there is less of an issue with sniping.

I vote for draft order, but a lot of people seem to be on skip. I'm guilty. I had a rough/hectic week last week and timed out, too, so everything with a grain of salt.

I've found there is more discussion around an order.

I agree with this completely. Just knowing I'm not going to be around to keep it moving.
