\\m// Official Dealer's Choice Music Mixtape Draft (1 Viewer)

[KarmaPolice]

Gotta love people drafting to avoid Geddy Lee's vocals.

 

[zamboni]

JML was right that Kashmir made the charts on digital. That's definitely an issue for many tracks.

My view on the category is to dig deeper then.

As someone said, the idea behind this category was to hear songs you would generally hear on deep tracks stations.

 

[Steve Tasker]

5.05 - Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac (Person's Name)

By the way that is a live version from 1976 - if you hang through the middle you'll get Buckingham tearing it up at about th3 3:15 mark.

Also here is a demo with Nicks on piano and I'm assuming high as a kite talking about the witch the song is named after and talking to Lindsey.

Rhiannon - Demo

Almost took this one in every round so far, but figured the category was deep enough to where I could get something later. This song is an all-time favorite of mine though. Love the pick

 

[John Bender]

Female Blues

4.20 (snicker) - Eilen Jewel - Queen of the Minor Key

[Vike Me]

We're doing unifying themes? ####.

OK, our theme is has NYC ties.

Wait, when did this happen?

 

[Steve Tasker]

Simey>sent you a PM asking for a ruling on your category...TIA.

OK, our theme is has NYC ties.

Optional? Some have been doing it. I thought NYC would be a natural for our team as we've lived here 28 & 15 years. Apparently I was mistaken.

 

[Vike Me]

Coming to you from Copenhagen...

4.21 - Lust - The Raveonettes (Scandinavian)

Had no idea they were Danalish= great band.

I didn't either, and actually have a few of their songs on my ipod, including a Christmas song. Like this one too.

 

[JZilla]

Anyway, not my pick or my category - that's just like, my opinion, man. JZilla defined the cat as whether it charted. This fits the definition.

Don't blame me, I just want to hear about animals!I'm not sure where all the confusion lies in this category though. It's pretty cut and dry. Kashmir seems like maybe an "ironic" deep cut selection. Nice work outsnobbing the field this round.

Got my Z's mixed up. Sorry, GB.



re: animal - how literal are you thinking here? Animal behavior work? Animal characteristics?

Spoiler

NIN

However you want to play it gb

 

[Vike Me]

Runnin - Heartless Bastards (Post 2003 female blues)

I knew you were going to take them as your female blues pick. Wasn't sure which song though.

Gotta represent the 'nati.

This is the first one in the Cat that speaka my language... really not liking the other ones at all.

Is that really a Blues tune?

I think it's a rock song.

Sounds like Stone Temple Pilots with a chick.

I like the song though.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Gotta love people drafting to avoid Geddy Lee's vocals.

Avoiding Geddy's vocals also avoids Neal's lyrics. It's a win-win.

But I will be confronting all the Rush related pitfalls. I am looking for the song that rocks hard enough that I don't care if the lyrics sound like they were written by a 12 year old who just read Ayn Rand for the first time.

 

[El Floppo]

That's kind of how I imagine tim. No offense, tim.

Did I miss something? Nyc? Ok... I'm game. But you have to do Rush.

 

[Fennis]

5.8 My Baby Just Cares For Me - Nina Simone (Wu Tang Solo; Baby in the Title)

If I was forced to listen to only one song for the rest of my life I would OK if this was it.

 

[JZilla]

5.15

David Bowie - Queen Bitch (1971)

[Bonzai]

David Bowie - Queen Bitch (1971)

Best guitar tone ever? Was also on my list.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

5.15

David Bowie - Queen Bitch (1971)

http://bit.ly/1eIu2vP

First time I've been 'sniped' in this draft.

 

[JZilla]

OK, time to show two of my favorite ladies some love here.

First off, one of the best blues' voices I have ever heard:

2.22 Susan Tedeschi "Don't Think Twice" (Post 2003 female blues)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yKTAzY4KMc

This is a cover of the Dylan classic "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" which, in it's original form, is actually a blues standard sung in folk style. Tedeschi brings it back to the blues.)

Ke$ha does a good version of this

 

[Steve Tasker]

Subject to tentative approval from Simey....

5.20 - Alabama Shakes - "I Ain't the Same" (Female Blues 03-14)

 

[Vike Me]

Subject to tentative approval from Simey....

5.20 - Alabama Shakes - "I Ain't the Same" (Female Blues 03-14)

I was going to use this one or one other for this cat. Like Brittnay!

 

[BobbyLayne]

Subject to tentative approval from Simey....

5.20 - Alabama Shakes - "I Ain't the Same" (Female Blues 03-14)

Awesome

I got Rush. And 3 movements, which will surely be prog rock. Anything else you need the dinosaur to handle for the team?

#### trying to make this thematic - it's convoluted enough.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

5.10 - Leonard Cohen - Avalanche (1971)

Wasn't planning on picking acoustic stuff for other categories but I'll make an exception for this song. I love how incredibly dark it is with just Cohen, an acoustic guitar, and a little backing orchestra.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Subject to tentative approval from Simey....

5.20 - Alabama Shakes - "I Ain't the Same" (Female Blues 03-14)

Yeah, this is a good test case. This is pretty much straight R&B in the Muscle Shoals style.

 

[timschochet]

5.1 Simon & Garfunkel "Mrs. Robinson"- song that mentions an athlete

This was actually a tough category for me, especially finding an acoustic song that mentioned an athlete. So I decided to go ahead and take this classic before it got sniped. The video is from the 1981 free concert in Central Park.

 

[timschochet]

5.15

David Bowie - Queen Bitch (1971)

http://bit.ly/1eIu2vP

Love all of the 1971 picks so far, especially this one.

 

[Usual21]

Hey Eephus,

I'm gonna have to drop from this draft. Received some personal bad news that will not let me participate fully. Sorry if it causes any hiccups.

 

[JZilla]

Hey usual21 gll gb

 

[timschochet]

Sorry to hear, Usual21. Hope everything is OK.

Eephus, are we keeping 80s soundtrack?

 

[KarmaPolice]

I can attempt to take his slot.

Gl Usual.

 

[Eephus]

I can attempt to take his slot.

Gl Usual.

KP Go ahead & pick.

Usual hope everything turns out OK in the real world

I'm going to put 80s soundtracks on hold for now. There have been two picked so far. We can either:

1. Keep the original category

2. Let Karma Police choose a new one

3. Allow both categories to stand and allow a third mulligan

 

[Vike Me]

Karma, Karma, Karma!

 

[KarmaPolice]

up to you. I have 3 categories in mind if we want to go that route.

I assume I keep his picks?

if I am otc, you can skip over while I collect my thoughts...

Usual didn't make any picks so you can make five picks at your convenience

 

[Time Kibitzer]

1.22 - Welcome to the Jungle, Guns N Roses - Scream

Right at the start of the song, Axl Rose just nails it...then holds it forever. Great start to a song.

2.01 - Brooklyn Zoo, ODB - Wu-Tang Solo

Usual made at least 2 picks. Not sure if he made anymore.

 

[JZilla]

I'll pick a different Cars song for KP's category

sorry, missed those over the weekend.

If KP doesn't want them he can throw them back.

 

[KarmaPolice]

1.22 -

I will toss them.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

And now I no longer have to post to a YouTube video of a claymation hamburger playing Van Halen.

we letting me pick a new one?

 

[Bogart]

Time to get religious

Religious songs/Non-religious artists

Couldn't have also placed this in Scandanavian, Awful lyrics you love (My Guinness record breaker?????)

and Prince song (a bit of a stretch, but one of the 3 loves to wear purple and is trying hard to look like Prince - Musically nowhere near it)

2.06 - Army of Lovers - Crucified - 3:32

I remember watching this video daily during the summer of 1991 on "The Box", the MTV alternative where you could pay to choose a video, but also just watch as videos popped up. Man was it over the top, but 11 year old Bogart loved it.

I'll throw what I was thinking to you for the 3-movement thing.. I wasn't sold on it, but it came to mind- happy enough to get some prog in my pog..

Women's Varsity blues... from the looks of what's being posted here, I want nothing to do with it.

I have some ideas on 80s movie songs as well- but we can parlay regarding that one or any others too.

sorry to hear. I hope its not too serious...

 

[Chaos Commish]

Gotta love people drafting to avoid Geddy Lee's vocals.

I hope you know or listened to that instrumental. It features Lee's bass. Lifeson and Peart are reserved (for them), and it hits all the right notes. It was nominated for a grammy early 90s. It's my favorite Rush song, and I would have wrote it up, but I was in pain (ankle injury yesterday). I may switch it to post 90s instrumental and use more than one Rush tune.

higgy

I find Rush as annoying as anyone, but the musicianship is incredible.

 

[simey]

Subject to tentative approval from Simey....

5.20 - Alabama Shakes - "I Ain't the Same" (Female Blues 03-14)

I'm good with it. The AS weave a lot of blues into their music, and Brittany can really let loose in their live shows.

This really should be on a t-shirt. It would sell.

 

[simey]

5.2 - Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey - Paul and Linda McCartney (Rock w/ 3+ movements)

This song reminds me of summer in the 70s.
