You can also stream it on Amazon Prime if you have that.I've never heard of AXS; not sure if I have it. Missed this.
I think that it was originally Mark Cuban's HDNet which has now evolved through a few iterations. But I could be wrong.I've never heard of AXS; not sure if I have it. Missed this.
i think that something like this was the original elevator pitch for The WireYo Mama said:Man, you can rap about institutionalized racism and police brutality all day, but come after Elvis and John Wayne? Oooooweee, that’s how you piss off some white people.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I was certain I could wait on this.4.12 Sly and the Family Stone - If You Want Me to Stay
1973
This is my fav Sly cut and it's too funky to leave off the jukebox. No idea if it is on anyone's radar but it has been sampled and covered so I don't want to take the chance. I will take the b side here too Thankful N Thoughtful

Yes, I have had an account since 1999 or so and have mostly posted in the SP, most frequently in the Eagles thread.pip has been around forever. mostly posts in the Eagles threads, AFAIK.

Oh cool. I hadn't recognized him and assumed it was an alias for a recently banned account. If there's no avatar, I usually can't keep the posters straight.pip has been around forever. mostly posts in the Eagles threads, AFAIK.

Thanks- glad I could provide a theme song for your very cute cat.I wanted to tell you how much I'm loving your draft and your write-ups. Learning all this Detroit history is fabulous. My BFF is from Detroit, and I'm going to share it all with her.
Also, as to this particular pick (which I'd never heard until now), I wanted to say that I have a cat named The Squirrel (also sometimes known as "Mr. E. Squirrel, the Mystery Squirrel"), and he has now adopted this as his theme song.
I can't help you there. There is very little info on the song on the internet. About all I know of the song itself is that Cream and Jethro Tull covered it. Like Hooker, Doctor Ross was far more popular in Europe than he was in the States.Cool song. Can't tell if it's one guitar or two making all that racket.
Mrs R also said to put her and Mr R on autoskip while their schedules are all out of whack right now.
so i assume that your next 46 picks will all be based on this song.REBOOT/MULLIGAN FINE LINE BUT NOT REALLY:
A reboot is in the works. Instead of simply having songs that use a sample in the first and last songs of the draft making a large diptych, I'm picking the two most influential samples in hip hop and electronic music history.
Therefore, the first pick in my draft is going to be the song:
Apache - Incredible Bongo Band (1973)
This has been the most sampled record in early hip hop history garnering credits and song titles all unto themselves, and also is one of the first instances of using sampling in modern history, sampling a surf rock instrumental song by the [redacted] from 1960. So, there you go. First reboot. If this is okay, somebody please replace the Jefferson Airplane song currently clogging the sheet.
The last two songs remain the same.
No, it's just the sampling theme. No way am I going to be able to get 46 songs from each year that sample Apache. I just thought it had to kick off the theme, as all the songs are going to be samples or use samples, and in most cases, will feature both a song and the full length of its sample.so i assume that your next 46 picks will all be based on this song.
There is an entire 90 minute documentary on this song alone, I believe.
i don't know about that.No, it's just the sampling theme. No way am I going to be able to get 46 songs from each year that sample Apache.

The bolded is awesome.
That's true. Will they be good?i don't know about that.
Just looked it up. There's an article by a guy from the NYT that it's based on.

Can never go wrong with Coltrane.
Of course you would, 'cuz you need to find ways to snipe me even in this draft.Yo Mama said:So this is one of those must haves for my theme, and since it’s filled with sampling and from New York, I guess it’s possible it could be on someone else’s list. Yo Mama selects:
4.03 - Public Enemy - Fight the Power - 1989
Going with the original release date as part of the Do the Right Thing soundtrack, but may swap it to 1990 when Fear of a Black Planet was released if something else in 1989 catches my eye.
I now have four songs from four different decades, and considering my theme is songs about protest and unrest, surprisingly none are from the 60s or 70s. I’m probably relying on vbd and the fact those decades are so stacked to pass on some of the all-timers for now.
@mphtrilogy
I see our themes are similar, eh? Why you...you...rapscallion!I never knew that this loop was the intro to the Coltrane track until recently.
You win the draft with this pick.4.14 I Only Have Eyes For You, The Flamingos (1958)
D-bop-sh-bop. When first light lingers on fresh flesh, those non-words - and the solemn pulse of music behind them - sound in my mind to consecrate the moment and always will. And the eternity of now in its lyrics make other songs disappear from view....

Trouble Man
Juggaknots
(1996)
Juggaknots were a favorite of mine back in my teens. an NYC-based group that had an association with Company Flow, I used to play their discs all the time. Forgot about them for a long time because they weren't really streaming (which is why this track shows up as 2018 on Spotify), but really glad that finally got worked out and this is a track that I love. I never knew that this loop was the intro to the Coltrane track until recently.
Whatever are you talking about?wtf are you doin' @Long Ball Larry? Post of the draft so far.
no, you can't make your 4th rd pick,
- you aren't at the turn
- and there are five people and 10 picks before it's your turn again
- and if you thought you could go ahead ...why would your pick be the 20th in the rd?
Pretty sure your pick is safe, but best keep those juggaknots in your shorts for a while longer GB
complete #### up by me! I was a pick behind for Larry.Whatever are you talking about?
I think you taking this as a soundtrack song would be a bigger snipe to my protest playlist than vice versaOf course you would, 'cuz you need to find ways to snipe me even in this draft.
Don't go in a corner for too long; you're up very soon!complete #### up by me! I was a pick behind for Larry.
I will put myself in the corner for awhile.
total apologies to @Long Ball Larry who completely had his #### together whereas I did not.
