THIS IS THEIR BEST SONG! - Music Draft - Saturday Night's Alright for iFighting (5 Viewers)

I'm about to breakdown my home home entertainment rig (emphasis on "break").  Hope to come out the other side with my TV, xbox, xbox controller, Roku, Chromecast, Sony receiver, three external speakers, TV antenna, three remote controllers, a Samsung Note 10+, and a Samsung Galaxy S7 tablet living in perfect harmony. Other device which are irrelavant AT THIS MOMENT include bluetooth earbuds, a Klipsch One-Two bluetooth speaker (which is an awesome device), Jaybird bluetooth earbuds, Kindle Paperwhite, and a Samsung smartwatch (a "3", I think). 

Bottom line, I'm a mess, and it's about to get worse.  On the bright side, I'm not about to rehydrate my Alexa Echo speaker. #### that!

See y'all in a couple of weeks.

 
16.24 - Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home

Colvin's only US top 40 hit won both Record and Song of the Year at the 1998 Grammys beating Hanson and R. Kelly among others  It's also the song that stuck in my head after listening to some female singer/songwriter playlists at the start of this draft.

It's probably the prettiest song ever written about arson. It lures you in before springing the trap in the bridge. 

Get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it

Colvin wrote some other very good songs but her early albums were buried in smooth Adult Contemporary production like much of Joni Mitchell's 80s and 90s records.  Fortunately, the synths and strings were set aside by the time "Sunny Came Home" was recorded.

Do you know if people are feeling sick after the booster similar to the second dose?

It seems all over the map for people, based purely on anecdotal evidence I've read.  Perhaps a majority seemed to have had similar effects as the second, but some people have had nothing from this after suffering from the first ones, or vice versa.

Based on both professional and personal experiences, the side effects after the 3rd dose of Pfizer/Moderna are typically a bit milder than after the 2nd for a majority.

I could not have worked the day after my 2nd dose but would have been okay to do so after dose 3.

But like krista suggested, it can be quite variable.

Yeah, I hire someone to do that for me these days. I used to be good at it, but have lost my touch and patience.

Got my COVID booster about 30 minutes ago.  Wish me luck.  TONS of people at Safeway getting them today; I had to wait about an hour.

(This is not a political posting.)

You excercised ur right to choose to get the booster......it only gets political when people are mandated to get it, or when people are harassed for not getting it.

 
Melody Gardot - Preacherman

Great jazz/blues tune and a very inspiring story this woman's life is.

From Wiki 

While riding her bicycle in Philadelphia in November 2003, Gardot was struck by an SUV and sustained head, spinal, and pelvic injuries. Confined to a hospital bed for a year, she needed to relearn simple tasks and was left oversensitive to light and sound.[3] Suffering from short- and long-term memory loss, she struggled with her sense of time.

Encouraged by a physician who believed music would help heal her brain, Gardot learned to hum, then to sing into a tape recorder, and eventually to write songs.

For several years, she traveled with a physiotherapist and carried a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator to reduce pain.

Given her oversensitivity to sound, she chose quieter music. On the treadmill, she listened to bossa nova by Stan Getz, specifically "The Girl from Ipanema". Unable to sit comfortably at the piano, she learned to play guitar on her back.[4] During her recovery, she wrote songs that became part of the self-produced EP Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions. Gardot was reluctant to record her songs at first, stating that they were too private for the public to hear, but relented and allowed her songs to be played on a Philadelphia radio station.

Wow, am I correct to say she only learned music after the injury? Like, she had no real music training and skill before the injury? Quite an inspirational story.

No. The quote was a bit out of context. "Gardot started music lessons at the age of nine and began playing piano in Philadelphia bars at the age of 16 on Fridays and Saturdays for four hours a night."

Here's the Wiki page

There are places where you still have to go to the DMV?  Washington licenses are good for six years and can be renewed online until you hit the age of 70.  I don't expect to visit a DMV for a total of 30 years.

We can renew online every other time.  We have to go in every ten years to get a new photo done.  I'm pretty sure a twenty-year-old photo is worthless as an approved ID.

Hat tip to @shuke for the Strand of Oaks pick. I've picked Tim plenty of times but I think this is the first draft where someone else has drafted him.

I would have probably gone with "Radio Kids" but "Easter" from the new album is one of my favorites of 2021.

Loved Goshen '97 when I first heard it released.  I lived near Goshen right around that time, so felt some weird connection.

There are some people in the draft that like music where the amps are turned up to 11 and yet this group is still available? They even spell their band name correctly and they aren't Canadian!

I select Living Colour - Cult of Personality.

https://youtu.be/7xxgRUyzgs0

Their most well known song, but still the one I like best. Their 1st 3 albums are all strong efforts, I am not as familiar with the subsequent albums.

Awesome guitar solo or horrendous guitar solo?

I gathered that in your second post and didn't totally doubt your sincerity in the first. Just thought you might be deadpanning. Your new avatar is throwing me. Looks very eyeblack-y, bruise-y, and nose-y. Guy just mashed some OL on Twitter. Just utterly ruined some poor LT's day.

Round 16:

From Blown Speakers — The New Pornographers 

The Electric Version album was where I discovered them and got hooked. The whole record is like one big sugar rush. This is my favorite from it.

I’m fine with whatever as far as number of rounds goes.

This would have been my song choice for them too. It was through this band that I found out about Neko Case.

He's a bad dude, graduated from the same HS I graduated from and is from the town I live in. His parents live near me. Aidan Hutchinson is an all time legend around here now.

:shrug:  I've always liked her song "Polaroids".

I found out about her when she appeared on an episide of "The Larry Sanders Show" and she performed the song.

Good pick - not what I would have expected. I might have gone with From The Beginning

Karn Evil Nine was their greatest song, Lucky Man is the one that is still making $$$ for Carl (saw him on tour 2 years ago, amazing show), but both Pebble and Beginning are brilliant, acoustic masterpieces. But they could also pump out the headbangers and I think the best at getting my blood going are tarkus and Fanfare for the Common Man.

For me, it would be Jerusalem, which is my favorite hymn.
