The Return of the Desert Island Jukebox Draft - Drop in a quarter (4 Viewers)

[simey]

Is the penalty for timing out two picks in a row to go on permaskip?

It should be. Tim is about to time out for his second time today, and he was in the movie draft when I sent the signal. He should certainly be punished.

9.02  Squeeze - Tempted (1981)

I could actually get at Squeeze through either Jools Holland or Paul Carrack, but I'm going to use Carrack as my connection since he happens to sing lead on this, not only my favorite Squeeze song but one of my overall favorites from any band. 

Carrack was a member of Ringo's 8th All-Starr Band, in 2003.  By the way, when using All-Starr Band connections, I'm only going to use those who were members of the band, not the guest performers.

The b-side is cute enough to take, too - Yap Yap Yap

it's reeeeally gonna be a challenge to kickstart my regular Drag Friday ritual without mr timmy's pick

Sternly.

I mean, I guess it doesn’t matter after today. I’m just cranky cause I’m still a couple hours away from my first Friday evening beverage. 

 

[krista4]

That movie has several rock'n'rollers in it. I guess Harry was the Son of Dracula. "Later, attempts were made to market the movie, but as Starr later said, ‘No one would take it.’    

We should have a watch party in this thread.

I don't think we are staying on one pick a day (which starts tomorrow) after the weekend. I hope not. I'll riot.

 

[krista4]

Any thought to do two a day instead?

I would prefer it.

Thirded. 

 

[rockaction]

I'm thinking one-a-day brings us through August with the picks when we might need to be doing other drafts (hints and wondering goes out to Northern Voice as to its viability and constraints). That and it suits my draft (AND I AM THE AMBASSADOR OF SUNSHINE AND MAGICAL LIGHT HERE) a little better.

I think I still had some money left to spend on players last year. You splurged early and went broke, but you always do a good job picking up free agents for free.

 

[Eephus]

I owe everyone a huge apology, as when I wrote about the collaborations I neglected to mention this multiple Oscar-winning film (did not confirm this but am assuming) starring Ringo and Nilsson.

I clicked that expecting The Point for some reason.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Do I owe 1 or 2? 

 

[simey]

Based on the draft sheet you owe 1.

Heh. Thanks. You all were good last year. Eephus's team just ruled the roost. As for FAAB, I'm never having that happen again. Never done it before, did it in both my leagues last year.

I didn’t time out two picks in a row though. Gimme a sec.

9. The Carpenters “Top of the World” 1972

The late, magnificent Karen Carpenter attended Long Beach State. The campus contains the Carpenter Center, a medium sized theatre venue for plays and concerts. In the lobby, behind glass, you can look at Karen’s drum set.

You can for sure keep skipping me.

I like krista's suggestion of doing two a day. That way nobody has to go on skip, and nobody has to try to move this thing along.

Whiskey Tuesday is the greatest day.

The best part about  whiskey Tuesday is it isn't alliterative 

 

[rockaction]

Nope. There's not even a hint of implied excuse there. You're drinking whiskey. On Tuesday. 

 

[rockaction]

Which is fine for some people. I personally lost a lot of Tuesdays to Whiskey Tuesday.  

 

[Raging weasel]

Yeah, that happened at a lot of the G N'R shows that tour. They wouldn't show up on time to play, it was hot, concessions were expensive generally, people sat around in the heat waiting. The crowd was overwhelmingly male and testosterone-laden and amped up. All of that.

I would not doubt her shirt got ripped off of her. See: Woodstock '99, various other piles of male (and possibly but to a much lesser extent female) idiocy and lack of control with respect to that stuff. 

Did the same thing here in the Silverdome. After Metallica played it was almost 2 hours before GnR came on and the crowd was getting pissed. Then they were so wasted they played You Could Be Mine twice.

 

[Raging weasel]

I owe everyone a huge apology, as when I wrote about the collaborations I neglected to mention this multiple Oscar-winning film (did not confirm this but am assuming) starring Ringo and Nilsson.

Never even heard of this before. Would watch but doesn't sound possible.

I tried the whiskey diet one year and lost 3 weekends.

A reason among many to dislike W. Axl Rose. I can't imagine it was the other band members.

Definitely, I think they broke up after that tour.

By the way @Raging weasel, I've been following the saga with your phone links. Allow me to chime in: There is absolutely no good way to link from your phone. Oh sure, it's possible in design, but not so when it comes to touch recognition. It's really a lost cause, and I've tried to do it for years on both iPhones and Androids. There is just nothing good that comes of it. 

The best I can tell you to do on an Android is to go to the YouTube video you wish to link. The next step is to look at the menu of options it gives you to respond or share on social media. Click that. It should take you to a bunch of options. From those options click "Copy Link." Go back to FBG and hold your finger down on the text box you wish to copy the link into. A bar should appear on your screen. Included in that will be the "Paste" function. Press that and wala! Your link is now good to go. 

But it's harder in practice to do that.

At least we got Chinese Democracy out of it.

Thanks! I can do the links on a computer which is what I did earlier when I fixed them. Couldn't figure out how to right click or paste on Android so this could help.

9.08 - Jole` Blon - Gary U.S. Bonds - (1981)

Gary U.S Bonds had a number of hits in the early 60s including the chart topping "Quarter to Three" but his career was dead in the water by the time he reached his early forties.  In 1981, he made a comeback with the album Dedication with assists from the Boss, Miami Steve and the E Street Band.

Jole` Blon is a popular Cajun song that's done as a duet by Bonds and Springsteen.  It's a fun number with a great singalong chorus.  The B-side "Just Like a Child" is lost in the 20th century.

It's worth the time to listen but definitely not worth the time it took for Rose to make it.

Gary U.S. Bonds had a killer of a borderline hit with "I Wanna Holler (But The Town's Too Small)." Love that song. A cover of the song is the first thing it goes to on YouTube when you search the song, which doesn't say much for the burning light into the present of Mr. Bonds's career.

This should work. I just retraced the steps for doing it while writing the how-to.  But it's not easy and you can't expect to link text to the URL.

9.12 Man of Constant Sorrow, Soggy Bottom Boys (2000)

The best singing ever to emanate from a Vermonter's mouth. I like bluegrass better than country, but never thought this number was any more than nice til i heard Rutland's own Dan Tyminski take it on. Perhaps its that the syncopation evokes Irish pub singing, which is my wheelhouse. I can't say this about more than a handful of songs, but i never listen to this'n just once, so i dang well better have it in my juke.

This one is on Spotify.  It's got a cool "Stranded in the Jungle" beat.

This one is on Spotify too.  It's a cover of a song by the Box Tops and was written by the same guy who wrote "The Letter"
