Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (4 Viewers)

[Dr. Octopus]

Accounting: 

From The Hopper to Daytona to replace IP Theft, which has since moved on to the Main Event

Crayola Box (songs about or featuring colors)

From Daytona to the Main Event: 

The Fjords (Scandinavian Music)

Hand Of Doom/Doom Metal (doom metal and stoner metal)

I have to admit, if we decide to axe a category, it should be Hand of Doom, unless we can get KP and Raging back to posting and selecting. None of us are experts in the whole Doom/Stoner Metal category. My knowledge begins and ends with the Kyuss/Fu Manchu/Queens Of The Stone Age stuff. 

If @KarmaPolice and @Raging weasel want to make a guest return appearance and pick songs for it, I’m cool with that. If not I don’t think anyone else really knows it.

I thought we had agreed to axe it. But now we might as well wait to see if either responds to Doc Oc’s alert.

 

[krista4]

C'mon, you guys are going to love Ringo's doom metal song!

 

[Eephus]

603.  Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood (End of the World)

 

[Eephus]

I got my second shingles vaccine yesterday and feel like poop. I don't remember the first one wiping me out like this.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Dice Roll for Wednesday and Thursday:

22 - 432 - 666 - 684

Emerald Isle (songs from or about Ireland) (second roll)

Horror Show (songs that are horrorshows) (fourth roll)

Jerry and Carlos (songs by Jerry Garcia and band or Carlos Santana and band) (fourth roll)

Motor City (Detroit, baby) (sixth roll - last chance!)

It’s the 4th time it’s been rolled apparently but what is “songs that are horror shows”?

bad songs or scary songs?

 

[Dr. Octopus]

C'mon, you guys are going to love Ringo's doom metal song!

I’m picturing Ringo giving it a try.

I got my second shingles vaccine yesterday and feel like poop. I don't remember the first one wiping me out like this.

  Got mine this year, too.  Shingles vaccine had a tougher effect on me than any of my COVID ones, though actually my second was easier than the first.

 

[krista4]

I posted this in the Beatles thread but am so upset I'm copying here.  Paul has been in Liverpool the past two days.  Don't know when he is leaving, but until I postponed my London/Liverpool trip to October two weeks ago, I was scheduled to be in Liverpool in about 12 hours.  :(  

 

[simey]

I got my second shingles vaccine yesterday and feel like poop. I don't remember the first one wiping me out like this.

I felt ok after both my shingles shots. I did not feel ok after my second covid shot and 1st booster.  I hope your yuckiness passes soon.

I had mine last fall and felt better after the second one than the first.

You must write him. Maybe he'll make a special trip back in October for you.

One of the days we'll be there is what would have been my dad's 80th bday.  Maybe I could hook him with that.

Yeah, that's fine. We can wait on KP and Raging for a day or so. It almost got rolled. It's 1-20 on the die. We rolled 22. 

I got my second shingles vaccine yesterday and feel like poop. I don't remember the first one wiping me out like this.

Aw man, I hope you feel better. I've heard it's quite the shot. 

It’s the 4th time it’s been rolled apparently but what is “songs that are horror shows”?

bad songs or scary songs?

Songs that evoke a feeling of horror. It can be real terror or campy terror or Hollywood terror. Could be something nightmarishly Halloween-ish, really. In fact, I had a song come into my head that I'm going to pick tomorrow. 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

2nd hit me worse, too. Shoulder soreness was about the same for each, as they used a 9' needle both times.

I was going to jump back in awhile back but am having technical difficulties. Since a couple days before Wikkid's passing  I can only post from this one work computer.  Can't post from my phone,home computer or main work computer but can use the 6 emojis from the bottom corner.

I'm shocked you guys arent even going to try the Hand of Doom category.

Ah, that sucks. 

As far as attempting the category, I think it was, um, DOOMED. There are a million ways to play this if you get up and running and you and KP still want to pick, though. We could just add an extra category into the roll the day DOOM comes up. It's not like the rules are chiseled into stone tablets and handed down from the mount or anything. 

Best to you, Raging.

Round 604

Category: Horror Show 

Song: Dracula's Wedding

Artist: Outkast ft. Kelis 

Before there was Gnarls Barkley, there was André 3000 adopting a Cee Lo-esque falsetto over some hip hop beats. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Seems like I drafted 3 songs already on this playlist.

It's okay. Doing the dice rolls has become sort of interesting because every time I roll, I forget what the heck at least one of the categories entails, and I have to look it up.

604

That Black Bat Licorice - Jack White (Horror Show)

 

[Ilov80s]

I got my second shingles vaccine yesterday and feel like poop. I don't remember the first one wiping me out like this.

I am on day 8 of COVID myself. I never got very sick, if it wasn't for the quarantining aspect, I could have just gone about my normal life fine. However, I am just so tired all the time. I had a beer last night, felt like I had 10. Wiped out is the way to put it. 

 

[simey]

Round 604

A couple Dublin bands.

One Horse Town - The Thrills  (Emerald Isle)

and

IP Theft: 

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/59yBWSpWjKSY8b8SoOqllx?si=309dd2775d3d4fb9

It's missing Talib Kweli's "Lonely People." I can't find it on Spotify. Maybe I'm dreaming here, because I listened to the track with my own ears when Krista linked to it. 

Yeah, it's a YouTube link. Just didn't want k4 to think she was getting short shrift. 

Forgot to respond to this.  Sorry, thought I checked Spotify but must have been wrong.  I'll find another.

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 604:

A. Jerry and Carlos

Wharf Rat (Live 2/18/71) -- The Grateful Dead

They never released a studio version of this one, so the link is its live debut. 

B. Emerald Isle

The Shamrock Shore -- Horslips

From their first album, which, take it for what it's worth, Wikipedia says is the first "Celtic rock" record. 

 

[Eephus]

Two Irish singer/songwriters with the same initials

604a.  Gemma Hayes - Back Of My Hand

604b.  Glen Hansard - Love Don't Leave Me Waiting

 

[krista4]

I'm going to throw a non-Beatle-y pick in here.  simey and Eephus covering one of my favorites, The Frames/Glen Hansard, made me think of how Hansard used to busk in Dublin every Christmas Eve with Damien Rice.  Not sure if they still do it, but it's always been on my dream to-do list (watching, not busking).  I probably told the same story when I chose Rice earlier in the draft.

Round 604 - Emerald Isle

Damien Rice - Delicate

 

[Dr. Octopus]

605

Up All Night - Boomtown Rats (Emerald Isle)

 

[simey]

Round 605

a morning shot of adrenaline

Vampire Money - My Chemical Romance  (Horror)

and

one of my favorites   

Brokedown Palace - Grateful Dead   (Jerry and Carlos)  

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 605:

A. Motor City

Shuttin' Detroit Down -- John Rich

B. Horror Show

Fearless Vampire Killers -- The Sound of Urchin

 

[rockaction]

Nobody has picked Eminem for Motor City and it's a real oversight on our part if we let that go. I picked a more recent one that he's merely featured on, but he steals the show as always. The part where he pauses just a little and says something to the effect of don't tell him when to rap is genius. Just a pause on the beat then that. 

Round 605

Category: Motor City

Artist: Royce Da 5'9" ft. Eminem 

Song: Caterpillar 

Round 605b

Category: Motor City 

Artist: Black Milk ft. Royce Da 5'9"

605a.  Blondie - Rapture  (Horror Show)

And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars

Did you sneak this in when I was on vacation? 

 

[krista4]

Yeah, that's...    When I saw it I immediately thought of Dr. O and how much he would hate it.

I plan on strictly enforcing the “and” in that description of the channel. Better not just be a cold song!!!!

Another one that stuck out when I binged the first two Sloan albums a few weeks ago.
