[Dr. Octopus]

13.xx

Grant Lee Buffalo

Fuzzy

@Eephus @shuke @rockaction are all on skip

@Binky The Doormat is up but banned

@krista4 is getting picks for Binky.

 

[Raging weasel]

How are they still on the board? Am I the only one that likes them?

Round 13:

Incident at Neshabur — Santana

I held off this long because I couldn’t decide on the song. Still can’t, really, but with new blood in the draft I figured I should strike now.

Holy crap, what a steal!! For some reason I had them as being picked or might have taken Black Magic Woman despite it not really fitting my mix 

Also sniped me on MLB.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I'll text Binky since krista is a Left Coaster. I think @Steve Tasker is on skip and I'm around to make my next selection. @KarmaPolice & @simsarge are on autoskip. @squistion can prep himself

 

[KarmaPolice]

I assume that last post means I owe 3? 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Two. You owe rounds 11 & 12 as we speak. We're almost to your round 13 spot, but not yet. I was just pinging those who were coming up.

Awesome - thanks.  I was just verifying on spreadsheet who's been taken. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Doh- just saw Floppo took C. Barnett.

I’m around but appreciate your texting Binky.  I’m going to be in and out of availability this morning.

 

[Captain Cranks]

Round 13

Hole- Violet

Nailed this one.  Malibu is up there for me too. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 13

Personality Crisis - New York Dolls

David Johansen has more Mick in him than even Steven Tyler.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Ok, Binky said to skip him and Tasker is on skip for the rest of the week per his post last night, so I'll make my pick in a sec.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

13.15 Big Star - "September Gurls"

I meant to take this like 30 rounds ago, but kept forgetting. I know it's probably the chalkiest of chalky by them for their biggest fans, but I think it's both their best and it's my favorite. It's jangly goodness at its apex.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

@KarmaPolice & @simsarge are next and are on autoskip. So,  @squistion is up.

@tuffnutt is on deck

@krista4 in the hole

Mark Hollis was one of the better vocalists of his era.

Runner up, Living In Another World, LP version.

The correct answer is Ballad of El Goodo.   

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

I've got meetings all morning, so I can be skipped.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

That's great. You're up.

krista's on deck

@El Floppo is in the hole

Clock's on, I think. 

 

[krista4]

Yes, it came on at 7 a.m. PST.

 

[krista4]

Oh, I'm up next.  Crap.

 

[tuffnutt]

Round 13 Nice to know you - Incubus

this was such a hard choice as depending on the day, this could have been any number of songs. But today I’m going with nice to know you…

 

[Uruk-Hai]

The correct answer is Ballad of El Goodo.   

Don't you mean Ballad Of El GooB?

 

[krista4]

Don't you mean Ballad Of El GooB?

  Nice callback.

Pick coming.

 

[simsarge]

Bad Company Shooting Star

Love songs that tell you a story too. 

This is a lousy rendition of this song, but the mixed band angle is something of a novelty here. 

 

[krista4]

13.20  Ritchie Valens - La Bamba

I actually prefer "Come On, Let's Go," but this one is his most impressive achievement.

 

[krista4]

From Binky:

Lovin' Spoonful - Summer In The City

 

[krista4]

From Binky:

Lovin' Spoonful - Summer In The City

He had a write-up:

"I can't think of any other song that encapsulates summers as a kid as this song.  I still looooovvvve this song.  I thought John B. Sebastian was just about the coolest guy I could ever imagine ...except for the Beatles of course.  I wanted to grow some of those badass lambchop sideburn so bad." 

 

[El Floppo]

The correct answer is Ballad of El Goodo.   

this is the ballad I referenced in the early rounds. figured you were taking it at some point as you typically do.

 

[krista4]

I would have taken it in the 3rd or 4th round, but they don't quite fit my theme.

Hey, you're up!  @El Floppo

 

[Manster]

Round 13 Nice to know you - Incubus

this was such a hard choice as depending on the day, this could have been any number of songs. But today I’m going with nice to know you…

I love the album Morning View.  I've been close to taking them.  My song would've been Warning......nice pick!

fantastic pick! I love/ed this band, especially the later less pop stuff from Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock... even their later and more experimental incarnation as O.Rang. but even their earlier pop stuff was written so well- with a depth to it that made most of their work timeless- and depending on my mood, when I want more upbeat, those earlier albums and tunes are my go-to. I was just looking at their catalog for this- and their work is so uniformly good, it's hard for me to isolate tunes, more than records.

Bad Company Shooting Star

Love songs that tell you a story too. 

This is a lousy rendition of this song, but the mixed band angle is something of a novelty here. 

Nice - I think you picked the right tune for them. Seagull would have been a close second for me.

 

[tuffnutt]

I love the album Morning View.  I've been close to taking them.  My song would've been Warning......nice pick!

Warning was my 2nd choice today… followed by Dig

 

[El Floppo]

this is the band I thought I was taking last round before my Burma! moment with Dirty Projectors.

13- TV on the Radio- New Health Rock

I keep forgetting about these guys in drafts, and then when somebody invariably takes them I . so this time I'm getting my chance. Bunch of tunes that work for me, DLZ, Million Miles, Wolf Like Me and especially their last one- Happy Idiot. TBH, I'm back and forth with Idiot and Health.

I feel dumb to ask, but what does "Burma! moment" mean?

 

[Raging weasel]

The correct answer is Ballad of El Goodo.   

I heard that song as either beginning or end credits music a couple weeks ago and immediately thought of you! Can't remember the movie/show???

 

[simsarge]

13.20  Ritchie Valens - La Bamba

Much prefer let's go too.

Who knew Lou Phillips could sing so good too 

 

[krista4]

Hmmm, I don't know either.  Maybe someone else will.  I like that you associated the song with me!

I haven't seen it, but youtube comments say it was recently on Sex Education on Netflix.

 

[Yo Mama]

Dagnabbit - Incubus and Talk Talk were my shortlist for my next pick. 

 

[Raging weasel]

Thats where I heard it-thanks!

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Thats where I heard it-thanks!

Hopefully you learned a lot also.

 

[El Floppo]

I feel dumb to ask, but what does "Burma! moment" mean?

Burma!

 

[northern exposure]

Which is what I did. The Singles soundtrack was a massive influence on my musical tastes. MLB’s brief output was all killer, no filler.

Great soundtrack!
