Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (1 Viewer)

Aw crap, I didn't realize I already took in this section now, before he took my Angry Red.  But yes, that was one.  The other rhymes with ####ney Peers.

An Angry Red in a section you've picked from is still better than a Happy Green in a section you haven't picked from. 

 
I'm surprised not to see Manster posting; he's been on top of the draft and never a hold-up.

Oh well, what have you done for me lately.  SKIPPED!

OK, actually skipped in four minutes, but putting out the signal to @the moopsto get back in here if possible.

Also @fatguyinalittlecoat on deck.

A few thoughts.

Every drafter should have one "undraftable" designation to a song. 

It would be fun to include the "undraftable list" from this draft. It wpuld likely get more attention than any of our playlists.

 
Okay, that was on thought, here's another:

We should dradtically reduce draft times when we near the end. Think about it, after R20 you only have five picks left. and 2-3 of them are the only song left in the tier and the others are in a group of 2-3. It should not be a terribly difficult to chose. And absolutely no reason  to not to leave a list.

After round 20, I say we go to a 10 second clock

Why is it so important to be done with this?  

 
Clock off for the night.  fatguy will be OTC tomorrow morning until 8:53 a.m. PDT, unless he picks before then.  In that case, simey will be up and have until 9 a.m. PDT to choose.

Why are you anxious to wait hours for someone to pick when s/he has three choices, each a single song remaining in a tier? and the only choice is which order to choose them? 

I'll go an infinity draft if you want, as long I have some payoff for spending 850 Screen refreshes a day

 
I thought my biggest strategic moves were early, but the last several picks today have significantly altered my thoughts on my next two picks, and I can see how strategy will be even bigger in 15/16.  Then at that point, it's probably more about picking through the dregs.

I'm not anxious for anything.  It's an online music draft.  I get up, I pick.  If I don't get up, I don't pick.  Maybe I try to tell a few jokes along the way.  Hopefully, I don't get stuck with Scenes From An Italian Restaurant.  Other than that, the mechanics don't interest me much.

Just got a 1/3 of the way through listening to Nick Drake per simey's sort of challenge. Listened to Pink Moon. It's a quick, taut, well-paced album that emphasizes just Drake and a guitar besides the piano on the track that bears the album's name. It's quite a lovely album, never meanders, and is edited well, which I love to see. I read all the lyrics and wasn't too moved, but the real moving is in his voice and guitar picking. They're lovely and the center of the album. It's been said that he had trouble live because his guitar was tuned differently for every song, even sometimes within the song.

I know he was depressed and possibly suicidal and the lyrics are a bit dark, but there's a weird sense of hope and possible resignation to the natural world and its wonders in the album. I really enjoyed it.

He's a huge influence on Elliott Smith and the indie singer-songwriter types like him.

Oh yeah, no doubt. I'm not really that new to him, because I'd heard songs just in the ether, but I haven't ever sat with one of his albums and listened to it straight through. The pace and brevity of the songs were what impressed me most. Singer/songwriters tend to get indulgent in either lyrics or instrumentation; it seemed like every note mattered here. I loved that. I can see why he would be such an influence. 

I also like Elliott Smith even though I always say I'm not a singer/songwriter guy. I don't think I am because I like these artists; they're probably the best representatives of the genre.

I love Drake's second album Bryter Layter.  It's more accessible than the starkness of Pink Moon.
