Speaking of driving. I got a call on my way home from my HR Dept about possible covid exposure so will be spending at least the next 5 days in my basement :(

Oof.  Hope all is well - positive thoughts your way.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

Oh #### it.  This is twice now I was thinking about avoiding this band because they have their own channel in this draft, but I will still take one of my faves and put it in this list...

ROAD TRIP

30.xx:  PEARL JAM - REARVIEWMIRROR

Roadtrip 

There are so so so many classic roadtrip songs and what makes a roadtrip song a roadtrip song is actually hard to define. Is about driving or going on an adventure? Sometimes. Sometimes its just what feels exciting to drive to. Press down on the pedal, roll the windows down, crank it up, sing a long. I aimed to hit all of these.

Rd 29 Driver's Seat by Sniff'n' The Tears

great song, no clue what they were thinking with the band name 

Doing alright
A little driving on a Saturday night
And come what may
Gonna dance the day away

Rd 30 The Backseat by Gaslight Anthem

You know the summer always brought in
That wild and reckless breeze
And in the backseats we just tried to find
Some room for our knees

No incidence reported of human-to-weasel transmission.  Hoping for the best for you and yours.

We got the notification of the first positive case on our sales team yesterday. I'm remote and not impacted but... this ain't going away.

Rd 32 The Backseat by Gaslight Anthem

That wild and reckless breeze
And in the backseats we just tried to find

Round 29

Prince

Prince - Sign o the Times

Nice, that’s what I was planning to take this round. So awesome. 

 

[Pitchfork]

As a man of the people, I'll add Prince channel, Comedy, outlaw country and Shade 45.

57 channels.

4 every two rounds.

When a channel comes up 3 times it's out. 

I haven't mathed any of this. 

So if there were the final rules we're going with, we've maxed out a couple categories I think, I'll take a look later this evening. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

This is not quite the message you want to hear while driving, but the song kicks ###. The guitar is like, actually making car sounds.

Round 30:

Road Trip Radio channel

Little Red Lights -- Todd Rundgren

 

[Eephus]

So if there were the final rules we're going with, we've maxed out a couple categories I think, I'll take a look later this evening. 

This is the third time around for Prince and the Boss. 

ETA:  which may change my strategy for tonight's pick

Has Holly been up 2 or 3 times already?

 

[Eephus]

Has Holly been up 2 or 3 times already?

It just stayed up after last Xmas

 

[Yo Mama]

So if there were the final rules we're going with, we've maxed out a couple categories I think, I'll take a look later this evening. 

I’d be fine capping it at 4 or 5 times per category so we can build up the playlists more. I’m not going anywhere at this point. 

 

[Pitchfork]

I’d be fine capping it at 4 or 5 times per category so we can build up the playlists more. I’m not going anywhere at this point. 

I would move it to 4 since I forgot and people didn't realize some categories were going off the board.

Or move it to 4 for the ones that are already at 3?

I'm good with whatever, with two a days and a relatively small group it's pretty manageable. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

The road trip station, is there a specific theme or basically just music you like to listen to on a long drive? 

We listen to this station a lot.  It's driving music.

And "Blue Highway" by Billy Idol is great.  I hadn't heard that in ages.

Round 30:

Road Trip Radio channel

Little Red Lights -- Todd Rundgren

so glad to see this get some recognition ...and on an album that most people is filled with only Carole King type" hits (NTTAWWT)

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Just go 4 for all of them. It was 3 in past Genrepalooza's but we only had three choices to choose from every two rounds instead of four.

4 sounds good. By my math that should give us about 30 songs per playlist if everything gets drafted evenly.

If repeat categories become a problem, we could add a fifth category if the first four rolls are all repeats.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 30

From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) - Bruce Springsteen (Bruce Springsteen)

 

[Eephus]

30.8 or 12 - Sheila E. - The Belle of St. Mark (Prince)

The second single off her 1984 debut album after "The Glamorous Life".  Prince wrote and produced but you can tell that from listening.

 

[Eephus]

so glad to see this get some recognition ...and on an album that most people is filled with only Carole King type" hits (NTTAWWT)

It's filled with all kinds of stuff.

 

[rockaction]

Round 30

Category: Road Trip

Song: Wild Thing

Artist: The Troggs

That riff is undeniable. 

 

[Pitchfork]

Okay, all categories get a 4th spin before maxing out, I'll try to do some spreadsheet magic to better track it and if it starts to drag, we'll re-evaluate or add more categories per two rounds as Eephus suggested. 

 

[Buffaloes]

Speaking of driving. I got a call on my way home from my HR Dept about possible covid exposure so will be spending at least the next 5 days in my basement :(

best wishes. hope your basement has enough amenities to keep you from going too stir crazy

 

[Buffaloes]

Round 30

Road Trip

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song

 

[Eephus]

We should take Holly off the board until December 

 

[simey]

Round 30

Driver 8 - REM    (Road Trip)

 

[simey]

Round 30

Road Trip

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song

I've always liked this intro.

 

[Ilov80s]

Round 30

Category: Road Trip

Song: Wild Thing

Artist: The Troggs

That riff is undeniable. 

Love it, at my wedding we wanted to avoid all the glass clinking for a kiss so we had cards at the table that said if you wanted us to kiss, the table had to stand up and sing a song. My family sang Wild Thing for us lol. 

 

[Ilov80s]

We should take Holly off the board until December 

I only agree because I don’t want to see it get axed before Thanksgiving 

 

[Yo Mama]

ROAD TRIP

30.YM - Low Rider - War

Some times a road trip is just a cruise down the boulevard at a brisk 10mph. 
 

 

[Hov34]

30.8 or 12 - Sheila E. - The Belle of St. Mark (Prince)

The second single off her 1984 debut album after "The Glamorous Life".  Prince wrote and produced but you can tell that from listening.

Neither is my favorite from that album.  Oliver's House I loved back in the day - I'm assuming Prince had a heavy hand on everything.

Sorry for spotlighting...

 

[Buffaloes]

I've always liked this intro.

yeah, for real. the intro is so good

 

[Pitchfork]

A newer one that I think will fit in seamlessly with this station (which does play it's share of current music)

30.04 - White Reaper - Might Be Right - Road Trip Radio

 

[Pitchfork]

I poured my aching heart into a pop song
I couldn't get the hang of poetry
That's not a skirt, girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun
And I can only hope you've got it aimed at me

 

[KarmaPolice]

Which playlist we be listening to tonight? 

 

[Raging weasel]

Cant believe how hard it was to find this track. I always thought it was from the live boxed set but was only released as a single.

Bruce Springsteen-Trapped

 

[simey]

Which playlist we be listening to tonight? 

I think you should listen to Prime Country

Did this song have anything to do with you having to live in the basement right now?

 

[krista4]

Round 30 

Springsteen

Cant believe how hard it was to find this track. I always thought it was from the live boxed set but was only released as a single.

Bruce Springsteen-Trapped

I took this in another recent draft and was shocked it wasn't more available!  It's my favorite Bruce track.

 

[Eephus]

I think you should listen to Prime Country  

I haven't listened to the playlist yet but I've really enjoyed drafting that category

 

[krista4]

Willie's Roadhouse (classic country)

Bluegrass Junction

Road Trip Radio

So, the "simey" roll?

 

[Raging weasel]

I think you should listen to Prime Country  

Both songs?

 

[Raging weasel]

I took this in another recent draft and was shocked it wasn't more available!  It's my favorite Bruce track.

Mine too!

Crap, I just spoiled my top 5 count down of Bruce songs :(

 

[Raging weasel]

Did this song have anything to do with you having to live in the basement right now?

Hadn't thought of that but it is appropriate isn't it!
