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

For the category of song off an album that influenced my musical taste, it's a song from the album Tapestry by Carole King. The album came out in 1971, and my mother played it constantly. I loved what I heard, and I've loved singer-songwriters since then. To this day, Tapestry is still in my top 5 of favorite albums ever.

18.xx - Smackwater Jack - Carole King - (song off influential album)

That album brings back some great memories. Matched up with my couple of James Taylor albums, Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells A Story," and Cat Stevens' "Catch Bull At Four" I could stack those up on the arm of my plastic Sears "stereo" and rock into the night - hard at my nerf hoop b-ball games, working through all the bracket match ups (only 32 teams in the big tourney back then, but lots of games still). This is the #### you did prior to video games ...

 
16.xx M. Ward - Duet for Guitar #3 - Best Instrumental

[SIZE=10.5pt]I've been listening to a lot of Monster of Folk lately. So slipping in M. Ward for best instrumental. Between, Monster of Folk, She &Him, and solo stuff I'm a big fan. [/SIZE]

In 1972 my dad's work sent him to Panama for 9 months. He could have gone alone, but the gov offered to pay for the whole family, even if he drove. So he bought a new Mercury Wagon with the polyphonic 8 track system, packed up the wife kids and drove us from LA to Panama. He was crazy like that. I was ten. He had a case that held 12 8 tracks. He let me and each of my sisters pick a tape for the trip. Mom brought Frank Sinatra along and the other slots were his. I chose Tap Root Manuscript. My middle sister took The Carpenters. My oldest sister Tapestry. Tapestry got more play than any other tape. Something my dad took has been on reserve for my last pick all along.

I'm having a hard time with these last three.

Anywhere. If it charted on the Honduras steel drum chart, it's going to be flagged.

Wait, any country #1 chart? Did not know that. May change my pick...

Yup. Lot of discussion about 20 pages or so ago. What was your pick?

18.xx Get Down - Calvin Harris Remix of Groove Armada featuring Stush (Lyrically Challenged)

I've decided to forego the entire Duran Duran catalog for this as it's a bit more current. I don't really know what's she's saying half the time, but the other half isn't exactly Whitmanesque. Every online lyric sheet for this is slightly different, so good luck trying to make sense of it. I'm pretty sure she says something like "lick your balls like Jerry" but all the lyric sheets interpret that line as something like "Lips taste like cherry." :shrug: But I do :wub: this song. Sorry I can't find a higher fidelity version, because its a good one in the headphones.

 
I think I owe one for the team...

19.4: Matilda- Alt-J (Name)

Damn... I have a lot of named songs for this one- was tough to narrow down, so I just picked at random. Pretty happy with the result and happy with the strange acoustic version I've linked here on Youtube (did BL already pick acoustic?). I'm hoping this band doesn't start to grate on me or go the way of Coldplay... I've really enjoyed the first album and am looking forward to more.

#### it..

I'm throwing out my 19.4v2 as well since nobody is going to pick it. I have another 5 or 6 I'll post in my spotify short-list

Sheila- Jamie T

19.xx La Femme d'Argent - Air (post 1990's instrumental)

Rather than shove another Groove Armada song down your throat, I thought we could all mellow off (to steal a phrase from the movie from which I selected my 80's soundtrack song).

On second thought, I am going to shove another Groove Armada track down your throats, because I don't feel like mellowing off in this mix:

19.xx Love Box - Groove Armada (post 1990's instrumental)

Rave on freaks!

Deep Track #1 Album

This was always going to be difficult when I only had 2 choices, which is more than I have for Rush and Wu Tang Clan offshoot though.

I'd rather punt it, but Female Blues 03-14 from Scandanavia is going to be tricky unless I'm very liberal. If I find something then this may get kicked off the playlist.

It was either this or Stellan Skarsgard getting a run from the Mamma Mia soundtrack. As he and Pierce Brosnan torture the wonderous "Our Last Summer" it is hard to include that with a straight face no matter how awful an Ace of Base deepcut is.

17.17 - Ace of Base - Voulez Vous Danser - 3:21
