One Word Title/Alphabet Mixtape Draft (1 Viewer)

[Jalapanose]

Okay, somebody burp me on how to replace "Elegia" in my post with the YouTube link to the cut as those who have drafted before me have done. TIA

 

[Northern Voice]

I have two lists going right now, completely different types of music. May be time to fire up an alias for a 2nd entry.

Highlight the song name, click on the 9th button from the left in the 2nd row of the text tools (link), paste youtube link. Hit ok

 

[zamboni]

I'm going with stuff nobody else likes, for a change.

My tried and true strategy for about 100 drafts running.

 

[Eephus]

Are we skipping JML?

 

[zamboni]

Are we skipping JML?

Up to Karma, but as mentioned, we will have a lenghty hiatus since he's in a far off time zone (I think).

undisclosed location

 

[Usual21]

As usual... skip me after 10 minutes.

HEY!

 

[KarmaPolice]

Are we skipping JML?

how about we give an hour after last pick? zilla can pick in about 15 mins.

 

[JZilla]

Brace yourselves

 

[KarmaPolice]

Brace yourselves

[Steve Tasker]

What's the rush? I say we at least let him chime in before skipping him....

 

[Eephus]

We can always re-slot JML in the draft order when he shows up this afternoon.

 

[KarmaPolice]

no real rush, but there are a few drafters that have usually asked to be skippeed due to schedule/musical taste/time zones, and jml is one.

Well, this may end up being the least appreciated song in my draft (or not), but it should be a perfectly adequate fit in any modern rock mix. Could even be a closer but I think I'm going straight A-Z.

Deftones - Xerces

[Northern Voice]

Was wondering if a Q or X song would be taken at all

I'm going full bore here, kids

 

[zamboni]

KP - can you list the draft order at post #2?

 

[KarmaPolice]

Was wondering if a Q or X song would be taken at all

...and you will have one of each back-to-back...

 

[KarmaPolice]

They have a couple great one word songs and was deciding between this letter and another that would be hard to fill. Looking at what I wanted to do with the rest of the draft, this one fit a little better:

SMASHING PUMPKINS - QUIET

This was the only X song I had written down, and thought it would be on your radar as well.

These guys and Pearl Jam are my bets for most drafted bands.

Was thinking the same. They don't rank very highly on the word-ometer.

 

[KarmaPolice]

KP - can you list the draft order at post #2?

done

 

[Mr. Ected]

1.10 - Fleetwood Mac - Landslide

The first comment "I grew up listening to the Dixie Chicks version and always thought it was their song." is depressing. Not that theirs was bad, just that people today can't figure ##### out.

It will be a good test to see how many of us have draft honor...

No, it was pretty bad.

 

[JZilla]

Gish and Siamese Dream no longer on spotify. I assume this is Corgan's fault.

 

[Northern Voice]

Pretty sure this isn't going to be sniped by anyone, not sure if I'll be able to prevent myself from taking songs from bands that have already had other songs chosen, but just in case I'll get this out of the way. My favourite band, JZilla's classmate, etc, etc...

1.11 - Utilitarian - Spoon

 

[KarmaPolice]

dammit, didn't check spotify before picking.

There's a decent live version

 

[zamboni]

I sent a PM to simey.

I sent a PM to simey.

I got it. Thanks, zam.

 

[simey]

1.12 - Amoreena - Elton John (A)

 

[simey]

I sent steve tasker a PM, but it said he wasn't accepting any new messages right now.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Skip me, I am in the middle of something. I don't think I'll be getting sniped much.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

1.12 - Amoreena - Elton John (A)

Haven't seen valence in this thread - wondering if he knows about it.

Damn. Sniped already. Love this song.

This was better than I thought it would be given Jzilla's disclaimer.

Upgraded version of the video. Good song.

Radiohead - Airbag

Links later after work

 

[zamboni]

Will post in a few - have to jump on a business call. Can't these people understand I'm in the middle of a draft?

Bastards.

I hope I can squeeze my mix closer together to keep a tigher fit with everything. A lot of the stuff early ('65 - '68) and later ('75 - '76) has such a different feel.

Except for my first pick ...

 

[zamboni]

1.15 "Questions” – Buffalo Springfield

Used these guys many a draft. Basically the precursor/foundation of the later “Carry On” by CSNY.

2.01 "Zombie" - The Cranberries

Was never a big fan of the grungy/moody chick ‘90s alternative scene, but I always thought this was a really interesting, cool tune.

 

[KarmaPolice]

1.15 "

and that just about closes out the z and q songs...

 

[El Floppo]

oh #### it- I don't have the energy to come up with a theme... although this pick is keeping my options open (at least towards what I was thinking about originally). Plus I think the song rawks. And it's on a tricky-ish letter.

1.5- Kicking- Torche

I have no idea what;s going on with the video, however.

Really like these.
