IN MY ROOM

154.YM - Alone Again Or - Love

Was going back forth between this original version and the cover by The Damned.  Decided with this one for the mariachi goodness. 
 

Yeah, said it's all right
I won't forget
All the times I've waited patiently for you
And you'll do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are
The greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

 

[Yo Mama]

IN MY BONUS ROOM

Taking a bonus pick due to stay at home orders, plus it’s a great fit for the playlist. 
 

154.02.YM - Soma - Smashing Pumpkins

Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away from you
She led me on, down
With secrets I can't keep

Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now, don't you speak
To me

Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, heart, your heart

So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools

One last kiss for me, yeah
One last kiss goodnight

Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
Crawled back to you

I'm all by myself (close your eyes and sleep)
As I've always felt (don't wait up for me)
I'll betray myself (hush now, don't you speak)
To anyone lost, anyone but you

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When God sleeps in bliss

I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray myself
To anyone

 

[Yo Mama]

Yeah, I’m an introvert. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

So... what's all this "bonus" #### going on around here?

 

[Eephus]

155.8 or 12 - Robyn - Be Mine! (Pop2K)

Keeping the faith with Pop2K.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Gonna have to branch out for my "room" picks.    Pip's over here pondering life's mysteries and my dumb ### is drafting songs about rubbing one out.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

IN MY ROOM

154.xx:  WEEZER - IN THE GARAGE

[Pip's Invitation]

Velvet has only been rolled twice on Nov 12th and 20th.

Yep. And The Groove almost qualified for retirement after it was rolled twice. 

 

[Raging weasel]

IN MY ROOM

154.xx:  WEEZER - IN THE GARAGE 

Link

This was like my garage in the 80's with D&D, xmen and Kiss.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

155.8 or 12 - Robyn - Be Mine! (Pop2K)

Keeping the faith with Pop2K.

This was drafted for Pop2K in round 89 by ... you. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Gonna have to branch out for my "room" picks.    Pip's over here pondering life's mysteries and my dumb ### is drafting songs about rubbing one out.  

I've got one from your niche for the next time.

[krista4]

153.k4  Simple Joys - from Pippin  (On Broadway)

In my opinion, maybe the most underrated musical at this point.  It won tons of awards at the time, including for Bob Fosse's direction and choreography and Ben Vereen's leading performance, but seems sort of forgotten these days.  My brother played Pippin in a high-school production in the 80s, and I've loved it ever since.  There are a few songs from the show I actually like better than this one, but I wanted to select one with Ben Vereen as the lead singer, because  .

Correct link for Spotify.

 

[rockaction]

Round 154.xx

Category: In My Room

Song: Tracy

Artist: Mogwai

I might try and select every song off of Young Team at this rate.

 

[krista4]

154.k4  Silver Jews - Honk If You're Lonely  (In My Room) 

OK, I think this one somehow could be taken for both this and Road Trip Radio, but seems a better fit here.  I could be wrong, but I want it to take it anyway.

 

[Yo Mama]

154.k4  Silver Jews - Honk If You're Lonely  (In My Room) 

OK, I think this one somehow could be taken for both this and Road Trip Radio, but seems a better fit here.  I could be wrong, but I want it to take it anyway.

Funny I was thinking about this one too, but decided to stick to just 3 picks today. 

 

[Yo Mama]

So... what's all this "bonus" #### going on around here?

I just like finding ways to cheat without @pitchfork here. 
 

STOP THE STEAL!

 

[Eephus]

This was drafted for Pop2K in round 89 by ... you. 

Oops.  I'll stay on the Pop2K tip

154.8 or 12 - Liz Phair - Why Can't I  (Pop 2K)

Phair's 2003 Pop crossover bid with Avril Lavigne's songwriters and producers yielded this top 40 hit.  The video features a jukebox which is always a plus.

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 154.xx

Category: In My Room

Song: Tracy

Artist: Mogwai

I might try and select every song off of Young Team at this rate.

If that's the album your 15 minute road trip song came from I actually listened and liked it.

I sang "Corner of the Sky" with my high school swing choir.

 

[Eephus]

In My Room has topped the hour mark.  It's only a few minutes shy of Pop2K.

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 154

Pop2k

Pink-Get this Party Started

 

[rockaction]

If that's the album your 15 minute road trip song came from I actually listened and liked it.

Yep. That's the one. I remember that you listened to it, too. I'm still somewhat amazed you took the time.

 

[Raging weasel]

Yep. That's the one. I remember that you listened to it, too. I'm still somewhat amazed you took the time.

I meant I ended up listening to that whole album and liked it, just have to be in the right mood.

And isn't listening to new/different things the point of these drafts?

 

[rockaction]

I meant I ended up listening to that whole album and liked it, just have to be in the right mood.

And isn't listening to new/different things the point of these drafts?

Oh wow, that's great. Yeah, it's a mood album.

Yep, listening to new things is the point. When half the picks are new to me, though, it becomes difficult to keep up, and generally I'm listening to my own thing (in my room, no less). I remember listening to your Gore Gore Girls song from earlier. Generally I try and give a few picks per round a shot if they're new to me, which inevitably about half are. I usually check into listen to the playlists once the draft is all done, especially. But that's me. Everyone is different.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

In My Room has topped the hour mark. 

Can you also add KP's pick In the Garage by Weezer? 

 

[rockaction]

Round 154

Pop2k

Pink-Get this Party Started

This one slipped my mind. I was going to take a Pop2K and couldn't think of anything inspiring. I liked this song when it came out.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Oh wow, that's great. Yeah, it's a mood album.

Yep, listening to new things is the point. When half the picks are new to me, though, it becomes difficult to keep up, and generally I'm listening to my own thing (in my room, no less).

I usually check into listen to the playlists once the draft is all done, especially. But that's me. Everyone is different.

Most nights I pick a playlist and, if I haven't listened to it, listen to the whole thing, or, if it has new things from when I last listened to it, pick up where I left off. In My Room is on right now. 

 

[rockaction]

So... what's all this "bonus" #### going on around here?

Bonus was meant as a way, when the category was closed, of picking an extra song that you felt had merit. Generally late-night, though I think I may have selected covers a bit early. Yo Mama, rule-breaker and rebel that he is, has decided to chime in with a bonus for an unclosed category. Everyone's mileage varies apparently. Heh.

 

[rockaction]

Right now I'm listening to Astral Weeks by Van and have had "Ballerina" in my head all day, but didn't pick it because Van's already been picked four times. But if I had to be honest, that's the song that's In My Room today.

I've also designated something a bonus pick when someone has drafted from a category that's not part of the current roll.

Eh, he's way behind Neil. (And the people who have their own channels.)

 

[rockaction]

Eh, he's way behind Neil. (And the people who have their own channels.)

I was going to say that about Neil but I didn't want you to feel singled out.

Mogwai is catching Neil, though I really didn't mean to double up and should have just taken Van.

eta* And Van Morrison could easily have his own channel here, too. I think he might be a more classic pick than PJ, but PJ has its own niche in the world, for sure.

 

[rockaction]

I've also designated something a bonus pick when someone has drafted from a category that's not part of the current roll. 

This too. Bonus is free-floating and free-form, best I can tell.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

This too. Bonus is free-floating and free-form, best I can tell.

And then we had Inmates Run the Asylum Night, Sane People Run the Asylum Night, Holly Bonus Pick Night and Holly Bonus Pick Week. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

In My Room has topped the hour mark.  It's only a few minutes shy of Pop2K.

It now has more songs than 8 categories (7 of which are original).

 

[Eephus]

Can you also add KP's pick In the Garage by Weezer? 

Sorry I thought that was Garage

I might have to Yo Mama this thing with bonus pick(s) tomorrow. 

 

[krista4]

I sang "Corner of the Sky" with my high school swing choir.

I love that song!  Might just belt it out for fun tonight.   

 

[Northern Voice]

154.NV - Try - Nelly Furtado - Pop2K

 

[Pip's Invitation]

THE POPS ARE NECK AND NECK IN THE RACE TO RETIREMENT!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Pop 2K -- 27 songs, 1 hour and 44 minutes 

PopRocks -- 26 songs, 1 hour and 49 minutes

 

[Yo Mama]

This too. Bonus is free-floating and free-form, best I can tell.

In these unprecedented times, self care is even more important. Sometimes, Yo Mama deserves an extra pick just because. 

 

[Yo Mama]

I might have to Yo Mama this thing with bonus pick(s) tomorrow. 

Pip’s can have a little bonus pick... as a treat. 
 

Go ahead and treat yourself. You deserve it!

 

[Eephus]

I love that song!  Might just belt it out for fun tonight.   

The J5's version of Corner of the Sky isn't a classic.

 

[Eephus]

If a Pearl Jam song doesn't get drafted tomorrow, it'll be replaced by a new category because I've got itchy rolling fingers.
