Summerpalooza VII Music/Football Draft - Congratulations Three-Time Leeg Champ Eephus (2 Viewers)

Oh, and I know I’m not commishing and it’s not up to me, but I know you all and you all are probably concerned for what will make me happy (to some degree).

Both ways will. Can’t stress it enough. I love you guys (mean it) and just hope everybody is happy and that you can get this moving relatively quickly. Peace.

eta* think I’ve certainly stressed it. Heh. Sorry about the redundancy. We just tend to be so nice that we’ll defer when we really would like to do something, and I’m not doing that.

rock has expressed many times that he doesn't really want to do it this year. Let's respect that, and dkp also said he would struggle to make it fit. Let's move forward with Marco, and that gives us 14.

I am fine either way. I don’t want to see anybody uninvited. I’m absolutely fine dropping out or playing. Is it okay if we wait on dkp to see? If he gets back w/in the timeframe of tonight, I’d say go with what he wants.

@dkp993

What are your thoughts?

eta for everybody* I think give it until the end of the night and possibly first thing tmrw, if not then proceed with Marco and fourteen. Thanks for your patience!
Thanks Rock but really I’m good. Too much going on for me right now and honestly last year I was pretty garbage at keeping up with the music postings throughout the year. I really just wanted to bust some balls for getting un-invited. Have fun everyone.

Heh. A bunch of people were missed in the original. Don’t sweat it. You’re a great leaguemate.

That should settle it, then. Fourteen and Marco. Have fun, guys! I hope to be commenting along the way and during the year (we’ll see!).
 
How about a @The Dreaded Marco x @rockaction superteam?

I didn’t see this. Love Marco, but I’ve seen the troubles of joint ownership and I can tend to be overbearing with moves. I’ll rankle somebody in some way. Best to leave me as an individual. Thanks for the thought.
This will be my first year ever having a partner. It could go well, or it could be hell. I think it will go well. If Coach4 gets out of line, I'll just open up a can of whoop-*** on her.
 
OK - I'm going to roll for draft order later tonight. I think this is where we are.

Certainly not uninvited. I think at this time of year we just have to keep our eyes on the forum, and perhaps even take the initiative and post something. I know I was excited to see the summerpalooza thread appear. I've been catching up on a ton of great Aussie music from the 90s and oughts that I want to share.
 
Well the judge was a mean one
His name was Hangin' Billy Lyons
He said "You've always been a bad man, Stack, you gonna hang this time.
The angels lay you away."
And the jailer said to Stacker Lee 'What's the problem with you?"
'Aw jailer, Louis Collins' ghost brought Delia's with him, too."
The angels laid them away

Do we have any suggestions for a musical theme for this year?
I reckon any song that has some type of connection to the football player. I think the year before last I chose only songs from the 70s, and they had a location connection to the player.
What are the song “rules” this time around? Is it just broadly related somehow to the pick?

I asked about this. This was the answer.
 
I forgot to warn Coach4 that the dice roll always seems to put me near or at the bottom in these drafts. I guess it's consistent.

The band Travis is playing new material on CBS Saturday Morning, and it sounds good.
 
May burn me if this is superflex but have never had the chance to draft him until now. Plus it's a perfect song for the first pick.
I was under the impression it might would be superflex if it was 12 teams. I don't think this is superflex, but if it is, we need to know that. Anyway, great pick, and I hope you have a great time at the draft party you're hosting today.

I believe this is right. I think I did 14 (or 16?) team Super flex for this league one year and everyone really hated it.
 
1.02 Breece Hall RB NY Jets

ADP be damned! This is all about my happiness, right, not what all the experts say about point-gobbling WRs?

Which leads me nicely to my song choice,

My Happiness, Powderfinger

Breece Hall was born on May 31, 2001. The album "Odyssey Number Five" was released to coincide with the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, but this great single was charting in May 2001 and hit #4 on the Aria Top 100 singles chart in Australia. I'm taking low-hanging fruit here because this song has become such an anthem for forlorn love, but I think it still highlights Bernard Fanning's great voice and guitar work, and hopefully I get to showcase some of his solo work later, because it's great.

Fun fact, the B side My Kind of Scene (also on the album) had already received air play because it was used on the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack.

Christian McCaffrey -RB-San Fran

One-Metallica

In honor of this pick (and I won't snipe too many songs, I swear) I'd like to contribute this band that I was seriously listening to as I read the pick.


"San Francisco's first and only rock and roll band"

Roster requirements are in the OP.
 
1.06 - Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit

In Egyptian mythology, Amon (also spelled Amun) is the god of air, the sun, and creation. The ancient Egyptians believed Amun was the creator of all things and worshiped him as the head of the city of Thebes. So St. Brown's first name, Amon-Ra, is essentially the same as Sun Ra's stage name.

I'm going with a Jazz mix again. Sun Ra's catalog is huge and confusing so I'll take something off an early album that's more jazzy than his later space age weirdness and will fit my mix better (hopefully).

Sun Ra - Call For All Demons
