Seems like a no brainer. ZamboniBinker is up.
Well, Bink timed out so do what you gotta do to catch up and we'll put your picks in Binky's spots.

Pretty sure it was in response to a post in this thread last night that has since been deleted.

I'll hold off then?

See above. Sorry for confusion but he's confirmed he'd still like to draft. Let's put zamboni in somewhere, though.

I'd say you should go ahead since Binky timed out anyway, but it's up to Chaos Commish.

Are rockaction and NV both definitely out? This isn't a judged draft, so zam jumping into one of their spots wouldn't hurt (other than he missed 300 artists).

If this draft was a rock band, this is the stage where the success goes to our heads, and we get more into hookers and blow than the music.......start missing rehearsals, forgetting lines during shows.......will we get back on track? Or will we implode and make a more interesting "behind the music"?
I don't want this to be the Vince Neil of drafts.

I'm a terrible time watcher until it gets close to my pick. While my name implies I should be qualified to commish this thing, I'm not. I just worked a little extra to get our heads above water after the tsunami. Smooth sailing with the usual suspects keeping things flowing works fine for me. I give you the helm if you want it, but...
Sure @Steve Taskerpick away

I’ll defer to the departed and list me as Binkoni.
I’ll catch up as soon as possible, but may not be until tomorrow morning to get settled.

I don’t feel right filling in for those draft titans - maybe save it for someone else who drops.

Business still getting serious after all these years
NV is my internet magic sports life partner and I've got his back, going to take a little break from this one as well, I don't really have the time to keep up as much I would have liked and besides things have been a little charged from day dot

If this draft were a rock band we'd be on our third drummer embarking on our jazz odyssey.

11.15 Kool & The Gang "Hollywood Swinging"
They were, by far, the most successful of the seminal 1970s funksters transitioning to the 1980s. I thought about taking one of their '80s songs here - like "Tonight" or "Misled", both awesome - but this is another where my favorite broke the tie. "Hollywood Swinging" has it all - fantastic singalong chants, horns flying, massive rhythm section.

11.14 - Dua Lipa - "Don't Start Now"
A modern pop disco classic.
I defy you to get two minutes into this song without dancing.

11.18 - Humble Pie - Black Coffee 1973 on Old Gray Whistle Test
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tNoSmlnxw
You see my skin is white but my soul is black
So hot black coffee, that's where it's at
With all the talk of Steve Marriott was surprised this band hadn't been taken.
Yes, I know 30 Days in the Hole or I Don't Need No Doctor are the trendy picks, but this song is my fave:
Found a write up of Top 10 Humble Pie songs that said this about the song:
https://chaospin.com/best-humble-pie-songs/
"When Humble Pie recorded a cover, they made it their own. Their version of Ike and Tina Turner’s “Black Coffee” took the basics of the original, shook them up, and refashioned them into a supremely tasty slice of Pie. Described by Society of Frock as ‘alive,’ ‘allegorical’ and ‘as hot as a fresh cup of morning brew,’ the song features one of the best vocal performances of Steve Marriott’s career. The decision to counter his raspy vocals with the sublime harmonies of the Blackberries was inspired. It may not have made much of an impression on the charts, but time has proved it one of the best and most popular Humble Pie songs ever made."

I know I don't have the street cred of zamboni, but if another replacement drafter is needed I will step up to fill the spot.
Who knows I might provide the comic relief in the draft and be the equivalent of the person drafting a Kicker in Round 5.

And the first drummer would have spontaneously combusted and the second one died because he choked on vomit, but not his own. #spinaltap.

Me too. Been sitting on that one a while now...surprised it lasted this long with the usual suspects here to take itI suppose it comes as no surprise that this was on my short list...

General murmur of agreement
-10yo floppinha
(And I don't say that in a negative way- she's in a big Dua Lipa phase and I support it 100%- pop banger after pop banger.)
Just my 2c here....but imo the draft should be open to anybody that wants to join. No need for "filling in" or "replacing". Just hop in and catch up with picks at your leisure
Although the 10-11 song bomb drops are a little scary, writing it out just now...
krista4
Footballguy
I agree with you and think either way is fine (though the latter is scary, as you mention). @Chaos Commish, what do you think? I'm not sure who is the decision-maker now, other than not me.
zamboni
Footballguy
I’d be fine coming in anew and dropping 12 picks rather than replacing someone, but fine either way.
squistion
Footballguy
No, I don't like that idea. Keep it limited to those who signed up for the draft, not latecomers who can do 11 instant picks and snipe the regulars here - I just don't think that is fair. I am OK with a replacement for someone who has left or can't participate any longer.
Chaos Commish
Footballguy
I'm the Kamala Harris of this draft. Stepped into power while we recovered from a colon blow. I'd never say no to someone wanting to join. I'm not excited about extending each round on the spreadsheet to fill in these 10 song drops. That's better left to @Eephusif he agrees.
I will be traveling soon too. I should not be decision-maker. I cannot be trusted.
