I'll make up my picks, catch up spotify and maybe drunk post later on tonight
I think I tried to get you to come to a concert in Toronto around this time... Arkells at Massey Hall?I had surgery back in October, first thing in the morning so I was one of the first out of surgery. I started coming-to in the recovery room, looked over in my haze and there's a dude on the bed next to me too with like 7 different nurses scattered around the room. Whatever. I'm groggy, sitting there, nurses checking on me, and dude next to me starts like freaking out and trying to break out of his bed. They pull the curtain closed so I can't see him but he's flipping out, screaming, they're trying to hold him down and whatnot.
A handful of nurses convene, must have been the in-charge ones, and the one goes "get him out of here <pointing at me>". Nurse comes over to me and says "normally we would keep you in this post-anesthesia room for another half hour, but we need to get you out of here immediately because we need all hands on deck for him", and they wheel me out of there. He kept shrieking and screaming, they had to call his surgeon into the room to try to calm him down and ####. It was terrifying.
At least that's what I think happened. Never can tell after the anesthesia.

13th round - Calvin Harris feat. Rihanna - "This is What You Came For"
1.4 billion (!) Youtube views, and I like to take every opportunity available to pick Rihanna songs. Don't hate.
So, I assumed this was the other Calvin Harris and Rihanna song and had fully typed out, "What are your thoughts on "This is What You Came For"... I actually really really like this song, even if I do know it mostly from hockey arenas.One of the songs that I can her one million times on classic rock radio/open mike/####ty pub singer nights and still whole heartedly love and sing along with every single time.I seem to owe rounds 13 and 14, so here goes:
Round 13 Have You Ever Seen the Rain? - Creedence Clearwater Revival
First line from Wikipedia about Rocket Man...Didn't know this had a parenthetical title. Kinda feel like you're just making it up. It's just Rocket Man. ROCKET MAN!!! Burnin' up his fuse out there alone...For some reason I am stuck trying to find songs with 11 word titles; I've only been able to find one. So I will skip it for now and will keep looking. (I am trying to get 2 each of lengths 6 to 14 words, with two extra.)
14.04 - Elton John - Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be A Long Long Time) - 1972 - 12 Words
"Rocket Man" (officially titled as Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)), is a song composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and originally performed by John.
In this context, it was, "who's up to drink and talk about music and post italicized song lyrics" @Ilov80s was on the cusp hours ago but isn't here nowEveryone. We need a 13 and 14 from you!
Man, I'm like 12 pages behind on this :( Everyone drink and catch up to me, while I drink and catch up to Spotify.Also not on spotify.
Spotify playlist up to date to here.
No spotify...Round 9
Always Something Breaking Us In Two - Joe Jackson
Whataya want from me9?Pink Floyd - What Do You Want From Me
This is my favorite tune off of the Division Bell. Not sure if it was on anyones radar.
Found it on spotify. But the song title is "Breaking Us In Two", no "Always Something" in there.No spotify...Round 9
Always Something Breaking Us In Two - Joe Jackson
Where this at? #twoturntablesandamicrophoneWhat I'm taking away from this is that tomorrow night = italicized lyrics night??
addedFound it on spotify. But the song title is "Breaking Us In Two", no "Always Something" in there.
:( It doesn't qualify - it's a 4-word title.addedFound it on spotify. But the song title is "Breaking Us In Two", no "Always Something" in there.![]()
Probably the best song of the whole draft, including everything I've taken...11.xx - The Killers - Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine
Yeah, I did a superAfter all the research for this thing, it got me wondering - have we ever done a draft with "One Word Song Titles"? Could see someone possibly using it as a theme.
@Eephus had a great idea with the spinner/dominos style draft.
one that was Alphabet/One Word titles. You could draft in any order, but your mix had to be in alphabetical order. That's cool. Me, I remember anything where I see Rollergirl's hoo-ha a little more.I think so, but I remember it more from having the 45 in the 70s, and it being on the radio at the time.
It's kind of a shame that When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might so When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right doesn't have any songs with more than six words.53 Words...
6.19 - Sufjan Stevens -
The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'
Totally missed this being drafted at the time. The Offspring are definitely a huge part of my preteen years. Played the #### out of Smash and took it last draft. This album isn't quite up to those "standards" but I to this day love "The Kids Aren't Alright" and this one...12.03 - Offspring, Pretty Fly (for a White Guy) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtTR-_Klcq8
This was my fantasy football team name that year.
These guys can do better than sampling Sugar Ray IMO.2.17 - A Tribe Called Quest - "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo"
My mix is going to be painfully thin on hip-hop, so I don't want to lose this one.
I think this is another no spotify fwiw
Round 14 Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply - Slade
Slade literally only have "Cum on Feel The Noize" on Spotify.I added this to the playlist but it isn't playable in Canada. :(
If I followed through taking multiples, both of these were at the top of my list.13.xx Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky
14.xx LCD Soundsystem - Never As Tired As When I'm Waking Up
What's that? I'm spinning electronic sounds tonight.Surprised there's less action in here tonight, don't you know Hot Thoughts dropped at midnight?
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONWhat's that? I'm spinning electronic sounds tonight.
Dude. You deserve a medal. Status post the double endoscopy, upstairs and down, and still posting late into the evening. Definition of hard core. :cheers:If I followed through taking multiples, both of these were at the top of my list.
I haven't been checking if my selections are on spotify... I don't mind changing my pick though.I think this is another no spotify fwiw
My throat hurts a bit, full disclosure. I'm also regretting those Doritos I sampled earlier.Dude. You deserve a medal. Status post the double endoscopy, upstairs and down, and still posting late into the evening. Definition of hard core. :cheers:
I wouldn't change your pick, more of just an FYI for the spotify mix. Taylor Swift isn't on Spotify but that wouldn't stop me from taking I Knew You Were Trouble if there were a parenthetical (when you walked in).I haven't been checking if my selections are on spotify... I don't mind changing my pick though.
You've met me and know my taste in music, of course I love this ####ty song.![]()

Of course.#1 question, is Guinness ok 24 hours after endo/colon?
One more thing I just thought of. I knew the pretty divorced nurse who assisted the Dr. on my procedure. It's gonna be slightly awkward (or not?) when I see her at the field with her kid and ask her what hand she had up my #$&. ?Dude. You deserve a medal. Status post the double endoscopy, upstairs and down, and still posting late into the evening. Definition of hard core. :cheers:
I'm partial to Good Girl Gone Bad Rihanna...You've met me and know my taste in music, of course I love this ####ty song.
Oh ####, more than 6 words!!!!Is "Do I Have To Talk You Into It" the best song of the year or the best song ever? Not sure yet...
One of my soccer moms has a yearly party. It's usually pretty sloppy and is indoor and out. This year we will be inside with the snow.Of course.
I'm hosting a St. Patrick's party tomorrow night, so if I post in here it will be very late and completely incoherent.
I bought 5 albums today (used) for the occasion to show off my new turntable setup:
I spent like $60. I have no idea why my wife puts up with me
- The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & the Lash (I actually know this one)
- The Chieftans - 7
- The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem - Irish Drinking Songs
- K-Tel Presents The Irish Rovers Special - 20 of their Greatest Hits
- The Dubliners - More of the Hard Stuff

The last couple parties we've hosted at my house, my wife has gone to bed earlier than me (like 12 or 1) and then I've proceeded to keep drinking and pass out and she's had to get back up and see people out. Last time was at our Christmas party and I have photos and texts proving I was awake and functioning at 3:30 AM... but people couldn't get cabs and parties rage on and I eventually fell victim to a pass out and she saw everyone out. I feel like I deserve a pass for making it to 3:30 while drinking heavily all night.One of my soccer moms has a yearly party. It's usually pretty sloppy and is indoor and out. This year we will be inside with the snow.
I missed the last party so she's VERY exited I'm coming. It's pretty funny how she openly flirts with me in front of both her husband and my wife.
Anyway she got a keg of Guinness and has corned beef paninni's so I will also be deunk here tomorrow night if my wife lets me in the door (she will leave early I bet).
