Solid choice. I too hear the Beatles when I hear some of their songs.For Time Kibitzer:
Great tune. Could also have worked well for the multi-part song category.For Time Kibitzer:
I saw her the summer before last during a heatwave, and she was great. I also puked after the show at a friends house. Those cheap bottles of chardonnay being sold at the venue seemed like a really good idea outside in the heat. Turned out not to be such a good idea later on.2.10 "People Got a Lotta Nerve" - Neko Case - Animals
Also going the Beatlesque route here:
2.14 The Monkees – “Porpoise Song (Theme From Head)”
Big departure for the Monkees here, as it was for the superstar writing team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin. Trippy to say the least, but a high quality tune IMO. Got some well-deserved recognition last year when Mad Men used it in an episode.
I was thinking of the 30 minute track on this record for this category.Is Acer on autoskip?![]()
2.10 "People Got a Lotta Nerve" - Neko Case - Animals
2 1/2 minutes of pure pop goodness. The verse namechecks elephants, killer whales and sharks. The chorus is sung from the perspective of the whale.

I went on a Monkees run in my yut (my HS band covered Stepping Stone)... don't recall hearing this one- nice.Also going the Beatlesque route here:

I'm hoping to mix in as much new-ish stuff as I can. This crushes the boy band beatlesesque stuff I've been considering from my daughter's playlist.For Time Kibitzer:
Going to try to slip this in the gay blue grassish category. It's not a stand up bass with banjos and fiddles, but it is classified indie folk, which is kind of how I understood the category -- contemporary tweaked modern blueish folk grass... right? Anway, the ambient quality is what I'm seeking, so... hopefully new to some of you. Probably the kind of band DougB is seeking more exposure to.
They're pretty fresh out of Los Angeles. I've seen them live and enjoyed it. Feel free to overrule for the category, and I'll go with a mandolin led instrumental.
2.05 Lord Huron -- Ends of the Earth
There are a few categories where I've still only got one good idea, but this one's guaranteed to be the only track I can pull for this cat without cheating or punting so I'll take it now
Trampled By Turtles - Wait So Long (bluish grass)

As an observer, this draft is so fun. All three of these were new to me, and all three are outstanding.For Time Kibitzer:
Ditto for Floppy Lane.Skip me if I come up, I'll pick when I get back.
I care
Meeting on Valentines Day, and pushing for the gay folk category... I'm thinking they're on the down-low. Bobby + Floppy =Sounds romantic! HVD, boys.
Stupid question, but is the "Levin" Tony Levin from King Crimson, and Peter Gabriel's 'back-up band' (Among many others)?What do you get when you combine 3 artists that each came from “out there” groups in the past? Tony Levin (King Crimson), Stevie Stevens (Billy Idol), Tony Bozzio (Zappa, Missing Persons) put together something beautiful.
2.02 -- 'Spiral' by Levin/Stevens/Bozzio, post '90 acoustic.
YepStupid question, but is the "Levin" Tony Levin from King Crimson, and Peter Gabriel's 'back-up band' (Among many others)?
bumpI don't see it in post #3 ... was there a "years" restriction on the Bluegrass/Folk selection? Or is it all-time whatever?
Thought so, he is spectacular. Seen him with PG several times and with ABWH. Love to see him playing with his "funk fingers."YepStupid question, but is the "Levin" Tony Levin from King Crimson, and Peter Gabriel's 'back-up band' (Among many others)?
That was you?After we said goodbye he shouted across Fifth Avenue "We forgot to talk about the draft!!"
Sounds romantic! HVD, boys.

Did you slip me a rufi? I feel... funny.Sounds romantic! HVD, boys.![]()
It was fabulous. Though I did forget to wish him a HVD. Good looking out, GB.

I'm crucified
Crucified like my Saviour
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
I've seen the deepest darkness
And wrestled with Gods
Ride the noble harness
Raining cats and dogs
I stand before my Maker
Like Moses on the hill
My Guinness record breaker
I abide your will
The first of reciter
I saw eternal light
Best of vocal fighter
Beyond human sight
Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeu
Yherushalaim at Easter
I cry I pray mon Dieu
I cry I pray mon Dieu
I'm crucified
Crucified like my Saviour
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
Prophets I've been reading
Stories I've been told
Before I end my breathing
I travel in the soul
Where thorns are a teaser
I've played a double jeu
Yherushalaim at Easter
I cry I pray mon Dieu
I cry I pray mon Dieu
I cry I pray mon Dieu
Adieu mon Dieu
I'm crucified
Crucified like my Saviour
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
I'm crucified
Crucified like my Saviour
Saintlike behavior
A lifetime I prayed
I'm crucified
For the holy dimension
Godlike ascension
Heavens away
WTF?Army of Lovers had many Top 10 hits on the Eurochart, the biggest being "Crucified", which was one of the biggest selling European singles of 1991. Their total album sales were seven million copies worldwide.[3]
Kurt Cobain of the hugely successful alternative rock group Nirvana praised the band in his posthumously published journals, but specifically the song "Crucified."
The song was successful in several European countries, including Germany, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland, where it reached the top 10. It reached the #1 in Belgium.[1] In the United States, "Crucified" became a huge club hit and radio favorite, debuting at #6 in the U.S. Billboard Dance singles chart and spending a total of 14 weeks in the Top-20.
The video for the song was featured in the third season episode of Beavis and Butthead Cleaning House. The pair react favourably to the video when Camilla is on screen (mainly due to her breasts) but complain when the men appear.
That was so bad I loved it.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)

It also made my pants tight, and then loose, and then tight and then loose again.
Very nice - I do like how these force me out of my comfort zone at times and how the FBG good taste schema turns me to some good new stuff.Steve Tasker said:For Time Kibitzer:
Fennis picked two hours ago. Two people have timed out since then I assume.Who is up?
