Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (7 Viewers)

Fitting that Doug B took the original today.   I completely forgot about this but today I was looking into some covers from my favorite metal bands and came across:

The Covers Channel

6.xx:  OPETH - WOULD?

Link

I know I just took this song in a recent draft, but it's a fave and I think one of the best live songs from a great live albums there is:

Comes Alive!  

7.01:  THIN LIZZY - COWBOY SONG 

Link

These categories are so broad and so many ways you can go that there's not a lot of sniping going on but I'm curious to see if I get sniped here...

I discussed 60 Minutes via PMs with another drafter. I told him I was pretty certain that’s not where Tim was going with Documentaries, but it would help to ask him.

I knew Tim would say “up to the judges” if asked in the draft thread, so I PMed him. I asked him how he conceived of the Documentary category: stuff like 60 Minutes and 20/20, or stuff like Ken Burns Civil War and Cosmos. He indicated the latter, which was what I suspected.

He really, really hates to have tightly-defined categories. Sometimes that’s fine ... other times it’s problematic. You’ve got to have a feel for which case is best for a given category.

That’s how you end up with Slumdog Millionaire a high scorer in the teen movie category. Everyone assumed the judge would punish the placement in the rankings and the judge said sorry, everyone shouldn’t have let the drafter put it there in the first place.

Thanks, I fear not unfortunately. Father in law's cancer has spread to spine, ribs, lymph nodes, etc... not good.

Oh no.  So sorry.  Does he live close by?

He does, he's in the subdivision behind us, we were fortunate to be able to buy a house for them there, with some help from them on the down payment. I suspect if the treatment for this renders him unable to drive, he and the MIL may be moving in with us soon, we will see.

Mrs. NV and her parents are from the UK. So he is here and we are here but the rest of the family including his three other daughters is back in Sheffield. It's been great for the past few years, they've been really close, which of course makes everything a lot easier and a lot harder, if you know what I mean.

I do know what you mean.  I'm happy that you can be there for them.  It has to help your wife enormously, too.

Still not a documentary.  It's news stories.  Unless the category is news magazine shows, it comes dead last.  Same for 20/20, etc.  

I guess I'm going to have to judge these docs, too.

Right — I agree with you. Documentary does not mean News Magazine.

Yep, all this.  Most of the time it's fine - then the one time we can't get a hard definition is pretty frustrating.
