MAD's ROUND 2!! # 1's have been posted!! (3 Viewers)

[Mrs. Rannous]

That might have been my fault.

No, you saved the day.

From looking back at the old thread, it was not my finest hour. Rob Manfred would have been a better commissioner. I bailed on the original concept first because of the World Cup and again because I wasn't feeling it after the tournament. My next proposed alternative was a four round draft called Alpha:Omega .

I read the first few pages and think I now have a bit of a contact buzz from my posts.

We all got that, duuuude.

Will round 3 be artists or themes?

Artists not taken in prior rounds.

If they let me in my room at noon before the 2pm start, I'll start a thread and make thr deadline like in 3 to 4 weeks

Started a thread with my summer collaborative playlists idea for any who might be interested in that.

Summer Grooves - Collaborative Playlists

I posted this idea in one of the MAD music threads and thought would try this out. This is a bit of a summer riff on the Holly Jolly Palooza thread by @Eephus last December. Idea is to pull together some collaborative playlists with summer songs/themes in mind. (“Summerpalooza” already...

Hoping @Zegras11 starts the new thread so I can officially claim my 2 and start the hard part of ordering them lol
Or can we claim there here?

If we're sticking to the original template, you can either fax them in or PM Shuke.
Your call.

Is the official predraft thread for MAD round 4? I've got my artist list narrowed down to five. With a little effort I can trim it down to ten.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Or if we are that bored we can post clues to who we are taking!

 

[KarmaPolice]

I have been working on a lot of playlists just because I've been loving digging through artists and albums. Most of who I have completed don't qualify for my self imposed limits of 1M listeners (or whatever Mastodon was at).

My selection is a band similar to Dino Jr. only in that it was a band I had only dabbled in before the last several years or so. This one is more extreme because I had only maybe listened to a full album 1 time and only knew their main couple hits from an album until about 9 months ago. Turns out they have 3-4 albums I think are near perfect and I think they might be the perfect 80s sound I've been looking for.

ETA: NOT metal.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Pretty sure everyone knows I've claimed Brian Setzer.

And Progressive has a new ad using this Tal Bachman song. I was surprised.

 

[Ilov80s]

Ok I know who I am taking now, doubt anyone else will be choosing her

Anne Murray?

Damn how did you guess? Snowbird will be repeated 31 times on my countdown

Do I need to call someone at the Geneva Conventions office? That would surely be a war crime.

Sir Elton?

 

[Don Quixote]

Had been thinking about going back to Brazil, but think I’m settled on some Chicago soul/funk.

Are we allowed to just say who are are doing or do we need to wait and PM?

Looks like it's first come, first served per the round 3 thread.

I honestly never knew who originally sang that, nor that it was Randy's son.

I sniped someone in the 19th round of a draft with it. Really stunned to hear it.

To answer one of the other threads in the FFA - this morning this is what put a smile on my face and made me happy. I guess I have been slacking on my YouTube drumming videos, and Brann put out a couple newer ones I stumbled across.


HERE For anybody mildly interested or who liked Steambreather from the playlist mist like this 10min video. He walks through a breakdown of song for the first few minutes and then he plays the song. Outstanding.

There is another 1hour video that is more of an interview on the Drumeo channel, here. Of course I loved it, but it was interesting because in between the talk of his process, his influences, etc.. he plays I think 5 songs, but a few that were on the playlist: The Wolf is Loose, The Last Baron, and The Motherload.

Black Midi Are “Indefinitely Over”

Since April, Black Midi’s Geordie Greep has been playing solo shows with a new band and is set to make his US debut with the Swing Boys next month. Now it appears that Black Midi, whose last studio release was 2022’s Hellfire, is “indefinitely over” — at least if a comment from Greep on...

Yes, I saw that. Their subreddit has been exploding. They had a great three album run.

Geordie Greep is expected to announce the release of his debut solo album on Tuesday.

I'm more interested in Morgan Simpson's next project

I just got a notification from Spotify that the Seldom Scene were going to be performing with TEN YEARS AFTER.

I'd love to see the show, but I don't have that much dough.

Isn't everyone from Ten Years After dead?

ETA: just looked it up - the keyboardist and drummer are still around. The main guys Alvin Lee and Leo Lyons have long passed.

No idea, but if the 'Scene can carry on with a completely new lineup because all the OGs are dead, I don't see why other bands can't as well. Plus, it's the name that matters, like The Dread Pirate Roberts.

True - plus it's easy to change Ten Years After to Sixty Years After.
