A. Tennessee

Tennessee -- Arrested Development

(This is their first appearance in the entire draft )

B. Jerry and Carlos

Mirage -- Santana

 

[Pip's Invitation]

More accounting stuff:

I think these are the categories for which we need playlists created:

Songs in the key of Sea (water, fish, kelp, etc.) -- 11 songs, TBD minutes

Radio Radio (songs about the radio, records, cassettes or streaming services) -- 8 songs, TBD minutes

Patriotic Songs (Lee Greenwood and/or Toby Keith Need Not Apply) -- 6 songs, TBD minutes

Songs about any city or town in (up to and including the entire state of) Tennessee, with an emphasis on Memphis -- 5 songs, TBD minutes

Non-Stop Party Mixtape -- 2 songs, TBD minutes

 

[rockaction]

Round 564

Category: Tennessee 

Artist: Chuck Berry 

Song: Memphis, Tennessee

If I could find the one with Yoko screaming over it, I'd post it. Probably the funniest/stupidest moment in rock history. Lennon and Berry jamming out. Yoko decides she's going to start braying this Iranian female distress call. Woof.

Oh yeah, the Mike Douglas show one, right?  It's on YouTube but I suspect not on Spotify, hahahaha.

I can create a few since I'm not otherwise contributing here.  I'll do the Sea, Radio, and Memphis.

Thanks. Please post the links when they’re created so I can add them to the playlists post.

Hey k4, that's really generous, but one can't do collaborative lists on Spotify anymore (all one can do is post the link for others to use for twenty-four hours) so it really becomes quite a bit of work once the category is rolled. If you don't mind, that's cool, but I'm just letting you know in advance. 

If you do already know because you're following along, create away and thank you!

Thanks for pointing that out.  It's no problem.

 

[rockaction]

Also, perfect you chose those. I already created the Patriotic Songs one. 

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4qNpCGpADSRYOQ9662ts5P?si=22cce3ec38d74021

I'll create the Non-Stop Party Mixtape one, too.

Non-Stop Party Mixtape -- 2 songs, TBD minutes

This party don't stop

8 minutes later

Goodnight everybody

 

[Dr. Octopus]

This party don't stop

8 minutes later

Goodnight everybody

Sounds like me when I attempt to go out.

[krista4]

Song in the Key of Sea playlist.  I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to find the Neil Young song on Spotify before...oh yeah.

 

[Eephus]

564a.  Memphis - What Is This Thing Called?  (Memphis et al.)

The band Memphis is a long-running side-project of Torquil Campbell of Stars.  He's Canadian and the other guy is from North Carolina so their name may have more to do the Memphis Group of design than the city in Tennessee.  In any case, the album title comes from a Go-Betweens song and "What Is This Thing Called?" has a bit of a Prefab Sprout vibe to it so it's tailor made for my pleasure sensors.

This album came out in 2011 right around the time I switched from downloads to Spotify.  Consequently, my old 80GB iPod Classic has a bunch of indie stuff from 2011-12 trapped like a bug in amber. 

 

[krista4]

Radio Radio playlist

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Song in the Key of Sea playlist.  I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to find the Neil Young song on Spotify before...oh yeah.

 At least that’s not going to be an issue with the categories that were started after we relaunched.

 

[Eephus]

564b.  Carlos Santana/Mahavishnu John McLaughlin The Life Divine  (Carlos & Jerry)

Santana's 1973 duet album with John McLaughlin is spiritual Jazz Fusion extravaganza celebrating the glory of their guru at the time Sri Chinmoy.  Many many notes are played on the guitar.

Teenage Eephus had the record and got high and read the liner notes but it never made much of an impact on his life.  But the name of their guru has occupied one of my brain cells for almost half a century.  Unfortunately, I remembered it as Chimnoy rather than Chinmoy so I would have gotten the trivia answer wrong.

 

[Eephus]

I'll take a playlist but don't know what's available

 

[krista4]

Songs about any city or town in (up to and including the entire state of) Tennessee, with an emphasis on Memphis but not necessarily an "Emphasis on Memphis" playlist

Whoops. That linked to "Radio, Radio." Appreciate the title, though. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

RA already said it

 

[krista4]

Oopsie, think it's fixed now.  Thanks!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I think we're all good once Krista fixes the Tennessee link. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Oopsie, think it's fixed now.  Thanks!

I'm still getting Radio Radio

 

[Eephus]

Friday bonus category.

Since I miss the dice, I'm going to roll a random song from the draft sheet to serve as the starter. 

From there, nominate a song that somehow relates to the starter e.g. same artist (or backing musician, producer, etc.) , similar sound (or title or story) or any other kind of connection you can make.

I'll roll a few and throw a new one out if we make it through one

 

[Eephus]

The draft sheet has 8363 rows (including blanks) so I'll roll a d8 for the thousands place and a d1000 for the remainder.

 

[Eephus]

The first roll is 5496 which fortunately isn't a blank.

The first starter song is

The Records    Starry Eyes

Yeah, there's not even a Wikipedia entry on them. I got nothing. 

 

[Eephus]

My related song is

Eugene Record - Overdose of Joy

I remember seeing the former Chi-Lites singer appear on Soul Train and thinking that Record is a funny name for a recording artist.

 

[krista4]

I'm still getting Radio Radio

I'm not sure why.  It was definitely wrong at first, but I just tried the link again myself and it went to the right spot.

 

[Eephus]

Use your imagination

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Use your imagination

I found it by searching Google. Wiki's search engine was lacking in this case. 

Their first album was co-produced by Mutt Lange. So:

Comin' Under Fire -- Def Leppard

Could someone else confirm if the link is working for them?

I tried again and it's working for me now. All the new playlists have been added to the playlist post.

Round 564:

A. Tennessee

Tennessee -- Arrested Development

I was coming in to pick this today, by the way. It's not a reach, but it is a memorable song for any '90s kid. 

Take me to another place
Take me to another land...

 

[rockaction]

Could someone else confirm if the link is working for them?

Yep. It's working. 

 

[simey]

It took me too long to answer back from the Def Leppard. I start watching the video of a song I'm gonna answer with, and I end up missing the boat.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Rock The Bells - LL Cool J 

One of the first records released by Def Jam. 

Too Tough to Die - The Ramones

Queens in the house (also first hometown of your humble narrator)

 

[simey]

I'm gonna make a vodka helter seltzer. 

 

[rockaction]

I'm gonna make a vodka helter seltzer. 

When you get to the bottom do you go back to the top? 

 

[krista4]

I'm gonna make a vodka helter seltzer. 

Personally celebrating ol' Paul with a Wine(dark Open Sea).

 

[Eephus]

Take me to another place
Take me to another land...

Speech from Arrested Development was originally from Milwaukee.  He and I shared this sentiment a lot growing up.

 

[Eephus]

OK, I guess we can build a chain instead of links back to the starter song

 

[Ilov80s]

Summer vacation starts today and I am pretty drunk lol, time to draft
