\\m// Official Dealer's Choice Music Mixtape Draft (3 Viewers)

[Fennis]

My category is music by black women that is not typical, popular black female genres of music.

I would define that as no hip hop, rap, urban, r&b, gospel or blues, but use your own judgment. If the band has a black female guitarist in an otherwise all white male band that's fine as long the song features the guitarist in some way.

sad songs.

 

[Bonzai]

When do we need to commit on a category? Narrowing it down...

 

[Mister CIA]

Does this category pass the smell test?

Well...

Okay, I'll withdraw this category and go back to the drawing board, keeping disgruntled category on the back burner.

It dawned on me that the small town category would result in Luekenbach and 19 songs about penitentiaries.

Okay, it's probably better than my current idea - favorite Maria McKee vocal performance.

That gal has a strong whistle. I've never heard of her, but I like the tune.

Really? :BoDeitl:

She had three or four well known hits back in the 80s with her band Lone Justice. You're a couple of clicks away from Nostalgia Lane.

 

[rockaction]

Wow, that filled quickly. I think I wouldn't be a great draftee over the next couple of weeks, so best to all of you. I'd like to see the results.

 

[timschochet]

Maria McKee is one of my favorite all time performers. If you made that your category, my only struggle would be choosing which song was the best. There are so many good ones.

 

[AAABatteries]

I'm out. I'll be out of town for 10 days starting next week.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Official category. Songs with incredibly strained metaphors.

Songs with whistling give me the willies - hate'em.

One recent album jumps immediately to mind. I'll wait until after the draft. I can't think of anything else, but this one really chafed me.

eta* What chafed me was its metaphor, not the category. Also really liked it. Eagerly lurking. Sounds like we have major music aficionados on the boards.

I'm looking for something with whistling and finger-snapping. Got anything?

Like this category a lot, if only because I know exactly which chick I will pick.

 

[BobbyLayne]

My Category choice

A song by a queer folk band (not to be confused with music from the Queer as Folk series). Gay pop folk indie and gay church folk also acceptable. Emphasis on folk (as in: features a long neck banjo and upright bass? Nailed it).

This category is subject to partner approval (no homo).

You still want in?

I'm out. I'll be out of town for 10 days starting next week.

Are Scandinavians eligible?

Clearly, Nordic folk music is a separate cat.

Amendment: features mandolin + upright bass? really ####### nailed it.

 

[Eephus]

I envisioned this as a way to put together listenable mixes more than a scavenger hunt. But I also envisioned not losing control until page 3.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Yeah, I actually thought my category was fairly broad, but I could broaden it more to encompass songs with terrible lyrics (that you nevertheless love).

 

[BobbyLayne]

As stated in the other thread, I'd like to see bluegrass/country/folk represented, mainly as it's a recent discovery for me. For a long time I was dismissive of those genres; to me one of the major reasons for this exercise is discovering new music.You're the captain, amend as you see fit.

ETA: f'n thumbs

 

[El Floppo]

My Category choice:

A Song by a Scandanavian Artist/Band that isn't Abba, Ace of Base or Roxette. Scandanavia is defined as Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden

oooooh... I know who I want here.

 

[El Floppo]

My Category choice

The who did what?

I have WAY too many queer folk bands on my ipod.

 

[Mister CIA]

Has anyone suggested senior citizen Jewish rock bands yet?

The Klezmer mixtape never quite took off.

Take my spot. I'm over-extended and prefer being the late night peanut gallery. I'm out.

I'm more than happy to change my cat based more on your vision. Just let me know.

If you're positive, then sure.

my mother just moved to Del Boca Vista, I can ask her.

 

[Chaos Commish]

If you're positive, then sure.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

If you're positive, then sure.

I look forward to you regretting your decision after seeing my terrible selections.

Feel free to still choose the category, as I'm guessing there won't be much of any jazz in this draft otherwise.

Seeing other categories had me moving away from jazz anyway. Your draft, your category.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Crap. I think I'd better bail.

Someone can grab my spot.

 

[zamboni]

The more this expands, the more I realize I should bow out as well. I know myself from past years, and I tend to commit way too much time to these things.

Feel free to swap me out as well.

 

[Bonzai]

Jeez

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Bunch of homofolkophobes in here.

 

[John Bender]

My category: Best solo song by a Beatle (Anything with Wings does not count)

(it was either this or Wu Tang Clan)

 

[higgins]

You people may hate me for this but I don't care...

My category is "Songs by Rush".

 

[Steve Tasker]

I don't even know what queer folk is.
