Outside of 7AM-4PM EST, I'm sporadically online, so feel free to skip me if my turn comes up and I'm not in the thread. 

Same here.

Too funny. I was going to pick the same song - but that's the beauty of getting "sniped" here, you can just chose something else for the playlist.

That's his best new song in many years - and his best album since The Rising (and I like Western Stars and Magic alot).

 

[zamboni]

Already confused - where are the topics listed that we're currently choosing?

Letter has been getting the airplay as the first single, but this one has a classic vibe for sure.  Agreed, strong record.  I would get the vinyl, but it's way over priced coming in at $35!  I usually have a $20 budget for new records... oh well, streaming it is!

Jam On channel

1.04 In Memory of Elizabeth Reed -- The Allman Brothers Band

Southern rock, improv, jamband, jazz rock, whatever you want to call it, many bands of many stripes have tried to emulate this song for 50 years. 

@Hov34 is up

Happy Xmas- John Lennon

I don't like many Xmas songs and 1 was already taken so grabbing this.

Shade45 (new hip hop)

The Heat (new r&b)

[AndrewClark]

All good. I didn't think so. I'll just follow along and kibitz.

It's not too late to join in. We're just creating playlists here for the most part.

Yeah jump on in we're judgment free.

Yeah jump on in we're judgment free. 

Alright. I'll give it a try. Especially Cuz I'll be at the end of the snake and able to be available. 

Thanks @Dr. Octopus and @Pitchfork

I'm here. I'll read the categories and pick something.

It's far from Springsteen's strongest collection of songs but the relatively stripped down production helps the album a lot. 

 

[simey]

I'm just thankful I'm #8 and not #9 (you'll be fine Buffaloes).

1.08 - The Wheel - Jerry Garcia    Jam On [SIZE=10.5px]   [/SIZE]

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down

You can't let go and you can't hold on

You can't go back and you can't stand still

If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will!

[AndrewClark]

So I'm clear on the rules (not to be late to the party and annoying). I don't need to draft from every category correct? I could essentially, never draft a Bruce Springsteen radio song (I. E. "more about drafting and not genre) 

? 

 

[krista4]

@rockaction, I’m out of pocket for the next few hours, so feel free to pick for us.  (Also I hate these categories.)

ETA:  Except one

Sure. Of course, I'm not partial to anything just yet, so if you feel strongly about one, just PM me.

Yes four categories will come up for every two rounds. You can draft both from one category or one from any two.

 

[simey]

So these four categories will be the choices for round 2 as well?

Yes

Globalization Radio

OK, I think I understand the Global channel thing so here goes

2014 is modernish; American band, Bosnian-German DJ, not sure this is a hit outside of dance clubs...

1.09 Broken Bells - Holding on for Life (Solomun Radio Mix)

went w the radio edit for the playlist even though the 9 minute version is superior

@zamboni

 

[zamboni]

Springsteen Channel

1.10: “Jungleland” - Bruce Springsteen 

Cliche as hell, but it’s great - and the only Springsteen song I would go for.

 

[zamboni]

@Mrs. Rannousis up

 

[Ilov80s]

Look at all you festive bastards, warms my heart 

 

[KarmaPolice]

So how "foreign" are these international/world music channels?

 

[mphtrilogy]

I’m a daytime guy, so any picks after 6pm, just skip me and I’ll pick in the AM 

 

[Eephus]

So how "foreign" are these international/world music channels?

The only song drafted so far is by Broken Bells

 

[Hov34]

So, just a thought:

If the category "Hits 1 (current hits)" comes up early in this draft the song you pick may not be relevant by the end of the draft.

 

[Ilov80s]

The only song drafted so far is by Broken Bells

I’ve got 2 when I’m up 

 

[Ilov80s]

They are mostly dance-hip hop- electronic leaning. Think Pitbull. They can have English in them but should have a global flare or connection

Whatever, I will just take it:

Didn't think I'd like anything in this category (still not sure what this category is).

I like this.

That's gotta be a hell of flat tire.
