Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (2 Viewers)

[cosjobs]

When burning CDs was new and I was one of the people who knew how to do it, my aunt insisted I download and burn her the Bay City Rollers Greatest Hits. 

They were cute. Even pretty. With the scholarly insight of Ted Nugent

 

[cosjobs]

Is @the moops really worth waiting for this long?

 

[Atomic Punk]

And I was worried I’d be skipped going out tonight. Two of three on my short list taken (Limelight and The Weight), so hoping I don’t have to go back to the drawing board.

I have to say that a really, really young rockaction loved the Beatles and the Bay City Rollers and probably didn't see much difference between the two at the age of five. Forgivable? You tell me...

Is @the moops really worth waiting for this long?

Yes.   

 

[krista4]

OK, thinking about the following:

1.  Instituting a rule that if we've waited for you more than an hour two different times, you are on a clock.

2.  Instituting a one-hour clock for everyone, starting with Round 5 (giving everyone time to know it's coming).

3.  No change.

Thoughts?

You can't break a twenty? What's that got to do with the other two

I'm fine being on a clock or being skipped, but I'm not sure how much people want to be tethered to their computer or phone or be skipped. 

It seems to be a deterrent. Me, I've really no dog in the fight. I'm usually sort of living by these drafts and constantly checking in, but other people's mileage and availability varies greatly.

Usually we used a clock during the day and then shut it off like at six or seven EST if we did a clock. But that's only because I've seen it done that way that I say anything.

I think all of the above is fine, but the first seems a touch punitive and specific, which is why I love it.

The list is very lean on Scotsmen, said in Jackie Stewart's voice

I say we need some kind of time limit.....but what constitutes off time?.....like sleepy time?  I'm on west coast and go to bed by like 10 or 1am eastern time

 

[rockaction]

I think she's a big tent kind of woman.

Considering I live in a glass house, that might be painful, though. And jagged.

What would Jann do?

Exactly! 

I say we need some kind of time limit.....but what constitutes off time?.....like sleepy time?  I'm on west coast and go to bed by like 10 or 1am eastern time

The off times in these drafts seem to be very East-Coast biased.  That will not be the case here!

 

[krista4]

Sexually harass a freelancer?

Clock hours are usually weekdays from 8 to 8 Eastern. If you're on the clock at 8, you can still get skipped (or written in Krista's book in option #1).

Wow, that's bringing in the heavy.

Again, I love it.

Playing to the crowd at 11PM Eastern.

 

[krista4]

Yeah, not doing 8 to 8 Eastern.  That's a fact.  11 to 11 Eastern if we do it.

 

[krista4]

Yeah, not doing 8 to 8 Eastern.  That's a fact.  11 to 11 Eastern if we do it.

I mean, if you're in Eastern and it's getting toward beddie-bye time, then you send picks to someone.  Easy.

Same for Pacific if you're not up at 8.

 

[Eephus]

Yeah, not doing 8 to 8 Eastern.  That's a fact.  11 to 11 Eastern if we do it.

I don't know where the 8AM ET came from

That's never happened.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

we starting that early?

 

[rockaction]

Sexually harass a freelancer?

Oh wow. Holy smoke.

Sidebar: My friend wrote for Rolling Stone back in the aughts. He did profiles and ####. Wrote for Larry Flynt and Hustler at one point. Did an entire piece on Jesse James. James gave him his leather jacket and everything. They pulled the piece at James's request before it went to print because, well, he was going family-oriented in his endeavors. Larry Flynt told my friend through his stoma "You'll never work in this town again..." My friend told him to go do the anatomically impossible.

True story.

 

[rockaction]

I don't know where the 8AM ET came from

That's never happened.

Sure we have. I remember some drafts that started at like five or six out here. Maybe I was...dreaming? Doubt it. I can remember setting alarms and stuff.

 

[Manster]

The list is very lean on Scotsmen, said in Jackie Stewart's voice

Head! Get in here!

 

[cosjobs]

If its been 45 minutes and the guys on deck and in the hole say, ""I'm tired of waiting," we skip. That way there is a chance for mercy and a chance for cruelty depending on mood. The carpriciousness of it all is icing on the cake.

eta - no change

 

[krista4]

Head! Get in here!

Fun fact - Heeeeeed is played by one of OH's BFFs brother.  (Manster, as you are newer, I might need to clarify that OH is my ex-husband and current roommate.)

Wow, no ####?  That's pretty cool!  One of my favorite movies.

I remember drafting during 5AM PT concalls.  I used to do a couple of those per week.  Don't miss them at all especially because they'd be videocons now

 

[krista4]

Wow, no ####?  That's pretty cool!  One of my favorite movies.

Actually, ####.  I mistyped.  It's the brother of a BFF - just realized I messed that up.  But friends from way back so he is good friends with the brother as well.

I just refuse to show up on video.  Oftentimes I'm the only one without my camera on.  Won't change don't care.

 

[Manster]

You gettin hammered again?

 

[Eephus]

Wow, no ####?  That's pretty cool!  One of my favorite movies.

Never seen it.  Odd because it's a big SF movie.

They sell hair brushes at WalMart

My team in India used to loved to see my face for some reason.

NFW am I going in a WalMart.

Its cool, you don't have top comb your hair or change out of your sweatpants to go to WalMart.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Probably bidding against myself here since Pip and Weasel both picked already from this group, but I could potentially see Manfred Manster or Mrs. R having this on their radar, and this is a super weak 25 for me now. 
 

#435 - Limelight - Rush

Probably 20 Rush songs I’d pick ahead of this, but definitely 20 songs in this group of 25 I’d take behind this. 

I may well have taken this if Powderfinger was gone. 

 

[Manster]

Never seen it.  Odd because it's a big SF movie.

You mean you haven't seen it YET!  Have you seen Evil Dead 2?

 

[Eephus]

Its cool, you don't have top comb your hair or change out of your sweatpants to go to WalMart.

I remember taking the kids as teens to a Walmart while on vacation because they'd never been in one before.

Perplexing

 

[Chaos Commish]

What did she study?

Music,of course....

BAs in Music Education and Music Industry. It was a minor in music industry, but by adding some music history - double BAs. We both expect her to end up teaching music. She's no julliard kid, but started piano lessons at 5, guitar lessons at 13, me for a dad, a single dad with no mama discouraging this.

 

[simey]

I'm back.  How's your car, rock? @rockaction  

 

[El Floppo]

Peter and Bjorn and John, anybody?

Young Folks

Sounds made up.

 

[rockaction]

I'm back.  How's your car, rock? @rockaction  

Hey simey, I don't know. They called at 5:15 but were closing at 5:30 so I had no time to get there, really. It was basically a courtesy call to come get it some time tomorrow, in the end. So we'll find out then. I hope it's okay. Just a ton of damage. Total cost wound up being around 4,300 dollars. That's something insurance cannot be happy about. I only have a five hundred dollar deductible plus two hundred for a new tire because of wear, apparently. I did not know about that. My tread was supposedly pretty good last time I had it checked. Oh well. That's the story. Thanks for asking.

Nothing real happened after Y2K.
