This mix was a great blend of 90s/college blast from the pasts that I haven't heard in years mixed with stuff I was not familiar with. Loved hearing the Belly, James, Sponge and Helmet songs. Couple songs went a little long, but I usually zilla's drafts are right in my wheelhouse, and I don't think there was a single track on here that I didn't like.
Favorite new tracks:
Careful - Sebadoh
Helicopter - Bloc Party
Stutter - Elastica

Was really looking forward to before I was born mix
. I was more familiar with the tracks than I was expecting, but it was a great blend of tracks. I have tried a few times, and I can hear wikkid's head exploding too, but I still can't get into Procol Harum. I think that was the only track that I didn't gel with on this one. Forgot how great tracks like I'm Eighteen, Think, and Badge are. My favorite new ones:
Heartbreaker - Grand Funk Railroad
Rainmaker - Traffic
Doctor - Wishbone Ash

Grand Funk doesn't get their due. Love'em. Fire up their live album "Caught in the Act".
Rainmaker ...off of Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - one of the best albums ever.
Wishbone Ash - not nearly as good as Mott but another group that gets lost over the years.

I am the resident doofus when it comes to this stuff but I am pretty sure you go the "edit" drop menu and select copy and then paste it here.

You can also right click on the playlist then select the 'Copy HTTP link' and use that.

We just did letters, how about numbers (songs with numbers in title - either spelled out or in number form)?

I was just thinking containing the number, not necessarily starting with it, so a song with the year 1900 in the title would count as one thousand nine hundred. Just what I was thinking though.Starting with each number? 0-9?

Whatever, but just do one of each number, 0-9. '1999' would be 1 or "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" would be a 4.I was just thinking containing the number, not necessarily starting with it, so a song with the year 1900 in the title would count as one thousand nine hundred.

As time has past, I think ythis is now my favourite Interpol song, jumpong ahead of PDF and Obstale 2 (or Obstabcle 1) whatever one it s I love.
They have a new album coming out, does anyone care?

For some rason neither piano based rock songs, or power pop are cool. Which is dumb because some of the best songs ever are piano based rock songs (Elton John when he didn't suck, "The Way We Get By") and power pop is pretty much the best gener ever (big choruses, catchy as hell, big guitars, lo\ds of hooks, what teh hell more do you want)?!?!

I know this is shtick, but they just played where I lived.

I love Interpol, first two albums are awesome, hope they come out with more simialr, would see them live in a second.
rockaction
Footballguy
I do, too. I think I would have seen them if I hadn't just been to a show and wasn't getting too old with limited entertainment options. It was still two hours from where I lived.
I also liked Our Love To Admire. Had to choose between them and Modest Mouse in Wallingford, CT, and New Haven, CT back in the Summer of '10. Not a fun choice.
eta* Same day, literally. Caught the Modest Mouse show and then saw Kurt Vile upstairs after-show at Toad's in NH. Best I could do.

So, on Ricky Gervias,,, I like the UK Office. He seems cool hosting stuff. I like an Idiot |Abroad... I have an handiacpped brother and am sensitive to things that are be insenstive to people with disabilities, Derek, without me wathcing it but seeing promos, etc.. seems incredibly offensive. But I liek Gervais, and some sayu he comes to it with a good heart... other say offensive to people with disabilities and also the elderly... thoughts?

i bought tickets tonight to go see DJ Jazzy Jeff next week for a 90s dance night at a local cub. Not a drunk decison despite my drunkenness... 7 other friends in for it as well, should be completley ridiculously awesome.

How come the list just posted in the GoT thread of people posting in the "read the books" thread, lines up so closely with the people who participate in the yearly album thread... KP/Ilv80s/Abrantes/TU/BikeSeatSniifer/UrukHai/jdoggydogfg/NickVermiel/Fiddles/moops/AcerFC... is there that much crossiver between music nerdery and bokk nerdery?
Northern Voice
Footballguy
In hindsight, this is a strange choice IMO, I get it from scarcity but this band has Today/Drown/Disarm/Zero/Soma/Mayonaise... which are all IMO better

Also I saw KP in the thread, and am somewhat fishing for an answer but i do like all the SP songs i listed better

I've liked Disarm/Armistice/and loved the Tapes n' Tapes song, so you've got at least a weird kinda one-person audience. Also love power pop.

honestly? I didn't think hard enough at the start. quiet is a fave off the album, but didn't think much past zero and quiet to knock out a letter I didn't want to deal with.
if that wasn't a factor, something off of gish would have been chosen. completely forgot about drown until late in the draft, but the end of the song lasts too long and that probably would have needed to be a closer to a mix.

I found it funny that moops was on the list but is one that flies off the handle about book readers posting. I assume those posts were before the big fight that split the thread?
not so much as crossover of nerdery, as crossover of awesomeness!

I know we haven't done one for a bit, and haven't done the other ideas that we have kicked around, but I came up with another draft idea that would be topical soon and I think fairly easy to execute.
Back to School Mixtape Draft
Anyway, we draft categories that are a class and are tasked with putting together a 12-15 song "syllabus". Easy enough: we have categories like Anatomy, History, Phy Ed, Geography, Psychology, Math, etc.. and we have to draft songs for that category. We could either do one song of each, or have each drafter be a teacher and put together their mix from one class. I like the 2nd option, but we would need more drafters than we have been getting to pull it off I think. Would be fun to do another more like the mystery category mix. For example if there are 24 of us, we could just decide on the 8 categories we like best and randomize so 3 drafters would be doing the same thing. That way there would be a least a little of a battle over songs.
Thoughts?

That is a good idea. It might work best if the draft has limited rounds or drafters. Might be hard to find tons of class categories that would be fillable with songs.

I am sure we are creative enough for categories. Home Ec
Shop class
current events
psychology
astronomy
religion
sex ed
we are usually pretty easy going with categories and what counts for them.
