The thread has a new #3 in Popular Days after Sane People Run the Asylum Night.

I noticed that the other day. I think the board software must calculate that based on GMT because Jan 23 and Dec 5 were both Saturdays.

I've been keeping a mental list of great bass parts for when the category comes up.
1. I swear it's not all just Paul McCartney.
2. My memory isn't so good, though, so by the time we get to it, I might just have that.

OR - maybe you all need to embrace the Hair Nation!This should be a cautionary tale to keep the categories from getting too obscure.
Maybe we should keep a few of the more basic channels in the draft but just reboot the playlists.
ETA: or maybe not.

I was trying to come up with another general "feel" mix last night, but drew a blank.

I've got some Paul things in mind for that as well. One could make a playlist for this of nothing but Paul things, not that I'm suggesting that.
Gotta have Geddy Lee on there too.

Bill Evans wrote this song (even though Miles took full credit for it on Kind of Blue). Bill Evans is on piano, Scott LaFaro on bass, and Paul Motian on drums.

I’m a little distracted this morning watching hedge fund a-holes get their lunch handed to them over AMC and GameStop. Bought some AMC over shutdown when it was dirty cheap. I might make like 20k today lol.

lol looks like AMC didn’t take off like GameStop did. Still quadruples in value from where it was yesterday and I’m up 8x from when I got it.Damn - nice!
So... basically your regular daily teacher income though?

I honestly think the only potential problems are the closeness of the categories. Like Outlaw Country, Prime Country, and now a Hank country category to go with a Southern Rock category? That's nine hours of country and three more hours of rural. That's a lot. The Fly/Heat/Shade mix is one mix, and there's a whole lot of music to be covered there, too, probably even more than in the country categories.Eephus said:This should be a cautionary tale to keep the categories from getting too obscure.

Round 147.xx
Category: Hair Nation
Artist: Faster #####cat
Song: Bathroom Wall (Live off of The Decline Of Western Civilization, Volume II OST)
There are better songs off of their eponymous, and the recorded version is somehow grittier and better when produced by Ric Browde (who is rumored to have co-written or been instrumental on many of the songs) but here is #####cat live. Probably lil' rockaction's favorite band in ninth grade. Greg Steele, Brent Muscat, Mark Matthews, Taime Downe (Gustav), and the bass player Eric something (Kelly Nickels, bass player for L.A. Guns, was in the band but had broken his leg in a motorcycle accident, couldn't cut the debut, and the band, being the nice guys that they were, weren't willing to wait for him to heal) will always be in my head, adorning the poster in my room .
Aww...shucks. And you wanna talk about pubescent problems?

Was sorely tempted to use them for an aughts version of the Yachters, but figured that came off too research-y. Glad to see them in all their L.A. goodness, represented with a boat appropriate. I believe Landrys Hat got me into them about a year and a half ago or so, though it seems like yesterday. (It wasn't.)

Basically using the group power of the internet to screw over huge hedge funds who bet on all these stocks to fail.
rockaction
Footballguy
I gathered that much. I just didn't undertand the technicalities. I support it! It would be like the FFA music crew getting together and screwing over the banks (record companies) that have already been pretty much screwed over and are clinging to vinyl sales as their only dupe hope. (I'm a dupe.)
Northern Voice

Yeah, they're kind of "the" band at the front of the indie yacht rock revival and that's my favourite song of theirs.

So it would be like you have your record collection rock. The market says your records are worth about $20 apiece. I think that this record thing is a fad and those prices are going to drop and they’re not gonna be worth that much in the near future. So I ask to borrow 100 records of yours and I tell you that one year from now I will pay you back whatever they’re worth. I’ll pay you the value of what your records are worth one year from now.
Then I take the records I borrowed from you and I sell them to people who are willing to pay the current market value of $20. When one year comes up if the prices and the value of records have dropped and they’re only worth $10 a record now, I can pay you off what I owe you and I’ve made a nice profit.
However if a bunch of crazy people from Reddit and the Internet got together to start buying records like crazy so that stores couldn’t keep them on shelves, the value of records skyrockets. All of a sudden in a year from now when I have to pay you back the market price for those records I borrowed, I’ve lost my butt.
Imagine this on a massive scale and with a 400% increase in the value of the records. One of the investment groups that was targeted was worth over $14B. They had to borrow $2B from a hedge fund yesterday to get a cash infusion. They absolutely never saw this move coming.
rockaction
Footballguy
Ah, I got it. Moral of the story: Don't profit from losing industries or hang your hopes on fads, unless you really get something out of them.
I'm thinking of selling my records before they're worth ten cents apiece. I can fetch a pretty penny for them now.
I wonder how long this Reddit thing lasts, though they seem to have proven their point already.

I don’t think Reddit people have enough money to consistently disrupt at a wide level. Though many are sitting on some serious profits. The head guy put his life savings of $50k into GameStop and it’s now worth $22 million. These hedge funds have it coming because when they sell short at a huge level like this, they then use their money and influence to s-hit all over the asset they sold short on thus driving the price down and essentially trying to destroy an already struggling company. One group was dumb and revealed just how deep in they were on GameStop and got hammered for it.
Ilov80s
Footballguy
The other reason people with GameStop stock are hitting it big is at some point the date will come when that hedge fund has to pay up and buy back all the stock they sold short on. You think the value of Gamestop stock is high now, potentially wait until some fund has to buy back a f-ton of their stock at $350 a share.

The nice thing about record as opposed to stocks is they have a value beyond just money.

The Southern Rock and Country Rock canons haven't really been picked over in the previous Country-adjacent categories.
I definitely think we should reboot XMU since that's square in the wheelhouse of most of us. Personally, I love the Fly/Heat/Shade mix and would be open to giving it another hour since it's more categories than Turbo/Octane.

157.8 or 12 - The Pete Christlieb/Warne Marsh Quintet - Rapunzel (Jazz)
West Coast Jazz with Steely Dan connections. Fagan and Becker wrote this tune, produced the album and managed to get it released on a major label when Warner Brothers were wooing Steely Dan to jump from ABC/MCA.
Christleb and Marsh both play tenor sax but their contrasting styles make the record. Christlieb, who soloed on "Deacon Blue", is a straight ahead player who played with the Tonight Show orchestra. Marsh was a disciple of Lennie Tristano who plays more outside in.
