10.11 Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Fooled Again (I Don't Like It)

 

[JZilla]

10.xx Waylon & Willie - Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To be Cowboys

 

[KarmaPolice]

This song completely slipped my mind until last night.  It fits right in...

10.xx: THE HOLD STEADY - YOU CAN MAKE HIM LIKE YOU

[The Dreaded Marco]

10.xx  Brian Eno - Burning Airlines Give You So Much More

Round 10

Black Horse And The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall

 

[Steve Tasker]

10th Round - Okkervil River - "Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe"

I've never really been able to get super into their music for the most part, but I ####### love this song....and what better opportunity to draft it than a 6+ word mixtape draft.

 

[PIK95]

God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll...to everyone.

 

[Eephus]

I think I owe a tenth.


Thin Lizzy - Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)


Presumably given the parenthetical sub-title to avoid confusion with the King Harvest song that had been a hit a few years before.

I've never really been able to get super into their music for the most part, but I ####### love this song....and what better opportunity to draft it than a 6+ word mixtape draft.

This is from my favourite album of theirs by quite a lot but last year's Away was pretty good as well.

I actually liked The Silver Gymnasium (had to look it up, I didn't remember the title) from 2013, but it didn't stick with me in the long-term.  I will have to check out Away.

 

[Northern Voice]

10.xx  Brian Eno - Burning Airlines Give You So Much More

Brian Eno is someone I'd like to get into more. I really like this song but at some point he veers into instrumental/ambient stuff that I don't think would really be my thing. I need an old school 5/10 song Hoofmix (or maybe I can just stick to the first three albums or the "This is:" playlist on Spotify).

 

[Northern Voice]

Round 10

Black Horse And The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall

woo-hoo

 

[Waingro]

Fellas I'm ready to get up and do my thing
I wanna get into it man, you know
Like a like a sex machine, man
Movin, doin it, you know
Can I count it off?

1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ...

James Brown - Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine

 

[Northern Voice]

This song completely slipped my mind until last night.  It fits right in...

10.xx: THE HOLD STEADY - YOU CAN MAKE HIM LIKE YOU

LINK

This youtube link blew my mind for a second with the Stay Positive album cover but it their mistake not mine. This isn't one of my favourite songs on Boys and Girls in America in terms of the album itself to be honest... but it's always one of the biggest highlights live.

10.8  >>  Queens of the Stone Age -- The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret

I need an old school 5/10 song Hoofmix (or maybe I can just stick to the first three albums or the "This is:" playlist on Spotify).

I get that his ambient stuff was influential but for me, it's so innocuous that I forget what I'm listening to which I guess was the artist's point.

Besides his early stuff, his collaborations with David Byrne are worth a listen (but not on Spotify AFAIK).  His production credits are top shelf of course.  The Bowie and U2 stuff obviously but I really like the two albums he produced for James in the early 90s.  Laid has the songs but the follow-up album Wah-Wah is a grab bag of more experimental music recorded during the same sessions.  Neither album is great but they make an interesting couple.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Traffic- low spark of the high heeled boys. Would be an early rounder in a songs over 10 minutes draft.

It's all about the album "Here Come the Warm Jets" for me ...and early Roxy Music.

Early Roxy Music is so good. Also mid-period Roxy Music. And also 80s poppy Roxy Music.

Here Come the Warm Jets album includes lots of Robert Fripp guitaring stuff.

9.15 Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking

This video makes my pants tight.

Scratches off short list...

 

[Binky The Doormat]

RD 9:  Pride (In the Name of Love) - U2

Tough pick between this and a couple of others.  Went with the earlier stuff, Edge still has hair.  

song link.

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Quick post since it looks like we blew past my spot already this AM...didn't realize we made the move to two-a-days.

10.xx - Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

One of those beachhead 1980's classics - will happily take it here in the 10th round.  Will post link later.

 

[El Floppo]

sorry guys... what do I owe?

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

I'm a huge fan of OR and pretty much love all their albums. 

I came close to taking this song several times in this draft. Nice pick.

dammit. same boat for me, love that song but am ambivalent about the band.

 

[Mr. Ected]

sorry guys... what do I owe?

9 and 10 and you are set. (We are all doing 10 now)

 

[El Floppo]

K,R... nope, I'm not ready to say my name yet...

9.*... The Style You Haven't Done Yet- Boogie Down Productions (KRS 1)

The good life was so elusive
Handouts, they got me down
I had to regain my self-respect
So I got into camouflage

10.* ... I love a Man in a Uniform... Gang of Four

eta: favorite lyric of just about any song... "to have ambition was my ambition"

 

[Binky The Doormat]

RD 10:  I Was Made To Love Her - Stevie Wonder

I get chills listening to this song it's so damn good.  

song link.

 

[El Floppo]

10.03 - KRS One, Step Into a World (Rapture's Delight)

This was one of the songs I would have paired up (with Rapture) in the juke box draft if I decided to link up my pairs of picks. I don't think I've ever picked this in any draft so far. 

oh, damn! KRS1 run!

I agree - excellent song. So awesome that I sniped it last round.

Lotta Stevie to choose from, glad this is still around.

Stevie Wonder - I Was Made To Love Her

 

[PIK95]

This guy no doubt

Had you posted a you tube gamer, I would have agreed.

 

[Eephus]

oh, damn! KRS1 run!

I went on a BDP/KRS kick a few weeks ago.  My family thought that was weird.

Rd 11

Looks Like I'm Up #### Creek Again- Tom Waits 

Well the sun came in my window Wednesday morning / And your love was like the golden rays again / Now I'm lying here on a Thursday, and you're lovin' someone new / And it looks like I'm up #### creek again

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Round 10

Black Horse And The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall

Dammit.  I was going to take that RIGHT NOW.

 

[dal_boys_phan]

11.xx - The Killers - Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine

Missed getting this album in the Desert Island Alphabet Draft, don't want to miss getting one of the best songs from it.

Again, will add song link tonight.

Round 10

Black Horse And The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall

I used to hear this song a lot but I had no idea it had a long title.

 

[Northern Voice]

Do I get bonus points for having the longest band name?

11.19 - I Can Be Afraid of Anything - The World is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die

Eno has made everyone he's worked with sound better, even Coldplay.

We're doing rd 11 now?  I have to disappear for a couple hours.  Are there more rounds today?

Round 11  It's Still Rock and Roll To Me  -  Billy Joel

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I thought KP said Round 11 would start after noon Eastern.

 

[JZilla]

I was kind of figuring anybody who's going to take the Beatles has already done so, but I want this, it's so heavy

11.02 The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)

 

[-OZ-]

I don't know why but round 10 seems to be off by 1 - sheet has me with traffic, while I should have the byrds, turnx3

 

[Eephus]

Eno has made everyone he's worked with sound better, even Coldplay.

He really worked his production magic with these guys.  Everything he's done since 1974 has been the downside of his career.
