I have never lost interest but I don't like their more recent albums as much. There are songs on all their albums that I like but the newer stuff isn't as consistently great for me.

I broke up with a fiery Greek woman because she scared me with her controlling, disciplinary, always threatening to burn some mutter###### down personality.

I almost drafted Invisible Sun instead of Matthew Sweet right before you. I'm surprised they weren't drafted earlier than this.

passion goes ALL ways - its rare that any of us can control it.
passion is necessary for success - it has its' drawback
this sound hack and stupid ...but our strengths are often our weaknesses

Yeah, was thinking the same earlier. Does anyone know if he maybe got into on the political forum? I know he wasn't feeling well, but he also could have been suspended. It happens from time to time.

I broke up with a girl because she was sort of gay.
Oh wait, she broke up with me and I was happy. Felt like I broke up with her. See, I didn't know how to break up with her and it turns out she was pretty much gay. Voila! Problem answered. We still went to the big dance together after the break up. I think she thought I was upset.
Nope. Very happy. I went on to date the prom queen for about a two-plus years. That was über happy.
We are all very much Seinfeldian in this conversation.
I also technically ghosted what was supposed to be my future wife.
That makes me really awful, but every time we spoke for a year it was a fight so I figured we shouldn't speak again since it was always verbally abusive, with me on the receiving end. So I said "#### that."
I never married.
Anyhooo, how are all you today?

eta, but wikkid is right about the biggest hit
to be clear - and i think Krista knows this, tho folks not involved in our dialogue at the time would not - i did not pimp Imagine as a great song but a founding document.
the times dictated that someone say that the old rules were so bad, in their way, that breaking them wasnt enough. freedom wasnt possible until we could imagine no rules at all. so Lennon, a zeitgeist surfer of incomparable skill, did. hadda be said.
so did Mother. so did God. War Babies & Boomers were always going to disappoint their parents, were always going to feel the survivor guilt of their ungrateful lives, were always going to celebrate the liberty & opportunity won for us by spitting in the faces of AND wishing love & approval from the people who made freedom possible . hadda be said.. And like all "revolutionaries", we were gonna suck at replacing what we just tore down and Lennon was, of course, gonna be the first to circle back on that. hadda be said.
thank you, John.

Wow. Thanks for the concern. That makes me feel good. I'm doing all right. I tried to call the infectious disease specialist I went to last time, but I haven't received a call back in two days. Right now I'm on antibiotics and it's not getting worse, but it's not clearing up either, so we shall see. Spent the day sleeping and on the line with the insurance company gathering up specialists in the area should this one not be able to see me.
Feeling okay. Thanks for the concern, guys. Just a day break from the board to sort of be well.

Eh, so it is. I've had "Imagine" sung to me in class with the ability to have retrospective views on the Berlin Wall, so it all hits differently, that communal anarchy thing. Probably very of its time.
Its legacy to TIkTokkers is that song that the supermodels all sang from their bunkers during COVID, which might have unintentionally inspired a revolution because of who was singing that message. So it lives on, I guess, as a radical document.

And station managers everywhere were like "WTF am I supposed to do with THIS?"Oh, and I love that he released this as a single, the only one from the whole album.

6.20 - Bjork - "Hyperballad"
Alright fine. You leave Bjork on the board this far into the draft, it's only a matter of time until I pick one. I feel like I draft her every-other-draft, but what can I say, I love what I love.

I almost mentioned "Dancer in the Dark" as being the movie equivalent of Lennon's "Mother" (as are "Requiem for a Dream" and the original "The Vanishing"), but I didn't want to spotlight.

No, man, how is it? I'm interested in it. I saw Don Quixote (who I play in a Zealots league with) post the Criterion sale, and looked at it, but didn't take the opportunity you did to pick up some great stuff (and some of it was great). I wish I could share in its excitement with you, but I can't. Anything salient from the movie that you see in the conversation today, or are you just curious if I've seen it? It sounds awesome. I think I'd really love it (or maybe I'd cringe, but I think I'd love it).

Yes, I was simplifying in an effort to get you to pop in and explain. You were convincing to me - an "Imagine"-meh-er - in my thread, so I hoped you'd elucidate again.

Zeitgeist Surfer is the name of my Ventures cover band. Thanks for the usual wordsmithing.

I just watched it and given your enjoyment of Dylan but maybe not the folk scene, I was curious if you had seen it and had an opinion. I thought it was interesting as hell as a slice of history. It's such a very interesting slice of a specific time and culture in America. The music is pretty damn good too. A wide range of blues and folk based music all in really good audio quality.

Another one I was close to taking this past round or 2. Thought I might get it a little later. Such a great song.

There remains a glaring omission and it's eating at me! I think everyone just assumes the pick has already been made. That's my last word on this, well until the pick is made.

Alright I will go back to the heart for this pick. The theme here is yet another artist/song I draft a ton, but hey - we have some newbs that haven't been subjected to these picks yet.
6.xx: TORI AMOS - TEAR IN YOUR HAND
Link
It doesn't happen to me a ton, but this is still one of the songs that will get either a goose bump or tear reaction from me when I listen.

Not being rude, explain Bjork to me. What songs should I listen to, what should I listen for? I feel like I could like her but it's never clicked.

Depends of what radio stations you listened or listen to. Tempted got the most airplay here in the US and Black Coffee In Bed was a close 2nd. The UK was a different story and there are like 6-8 songs that are about as good as those two that most people in this country have little if no exposure to: "Take Me, I'm Yours," "Goodbye Girl," "Another Nail In My Heart," "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)," "Is That Love," "Hourglass," "853-5937," and "This Summer" (there are a couple more that I probably forgot).

The Folk movement of the late 50s and early 60s has gotten overlooked because of the rise of Rock 'n Roll. Most popular genres have had some kind of revival over the decades but Folk hasn't really ever come back as any sort of popular movement. Singer/Songwriter genres owe something to Folk but it was filtered through Dylan, Mitchell and others.
I was kind of hoping Inside Llewyn Davis would spark the return of hootenannys but it never took off.

This current youth cohort could use it. Gen Zzzz as I like to call them. Asleep at the wheel of their own lives. The first 100% app based generation. Life with the touchscreen. Nice kids though.

Awesome. No, I haven't. That's definitely on my radar now. I'm really interested in the pre-hippie, folk era of that time period. I'm not, as you point, necessarily sympathetic to the general consensus of the folk lovers, but it's still such an interesting history that it would probably make a very good watch, including, as you also point out, a heck of a history of that more radical but pre-hippie era.
What struck you about it, if I might ask? A scene or performance? I think you mentioned Joplin at Monterey influenced one of your picks. Anything that might do so here?

They were true game changers (before everyone started dying and/or marrying Cher). Basically birthed their own genre. I would have taken In Memory of Elizabeth Reed -- and may well have in this round if they had lasted.
