Now, that. That is a good play list add. Would have paired it with Maxwell Murder, but you got the important one right.

Mine was a band who I think maybe has only had one album drafted and I thought one of their later albums was my favorite of theirs but it didn’t hold up for me. Suffered from bad ‘80s production. I doubt it’ll get drafted but I’ll discuss if it does.

9.10 - Grimes - Art Angels (2015)
I think I drafted this early in the first round of the 2010s album draft we had somewhat recently, but I'm just gonna pick it again because it's ####### fantastic and she's maybe my single favorite artist of the decade. Sorry for ruining the playlist. Prayers up for X Æ A-12. Kid's in for a wild ride.
"World Princess Part II"
"Kill V. Maim"

whoa... ALSO my next pick. this has been an uncanny run the last day.
it's not really my go-to... and I said I wouldn't vbd- but it's an all-timer and so good top to bottom.

Hell yeah.
I do wish there was a way that Spotify would remember what songs on playlist you have heard and not do a repeat until the playlist has cycled through. I hit random today during a car ride, and I got back to back Beatles songs that have come up the last 2 times I've shuffled.

Very nice. I was listening to this last night. Love the picks - also really like Easily. Flesh without Blood is on the 5 year old's playlist.9.10 - Grimes - Art Angels (2015)

So you're saying you like Danny Carey
If you haven't seen it watch the whole thing, but the instrumental beginning about 7 minutes deep is the payoff.

Yeah, their dad is nuts (can't tell is that is a boy or girl based on the name). I can't believe he is tweeting that insane stuff with a new born and a wife who had a complicated pregnancy. Her mom is on twitter putting him on blast. Not an ideal start for a baby.9.10 - Grimes - Art Angels (2015)

I heard it for the first time Friday morning and slid it onto my word doc for a later round because I had something else lined up that is rote to me. Did a brief write up. Knew what tracks to share. Went to Spotify and their version sounded like the band was in a coffee can.
I punted on Neil figuring I could get Massey Hall. Should've known.

I saw something the other day basically saying just because someone is very smart or talented in one particular thing, that doesn't mean they know what they're talking about when it comes to anything else. It was specifically about Elon but I'm sure she's bat#### too.
I love this album though.

Pretty sure I have seen that on one of my gin soaked youtube rabbit hole nights, but that won't stop me from watching it again right now.
Ilov80s

Yeah, she is quite weird as well. But I do believe that fallacy is one people fall into. We assume because Aaron Rodgers is a football genius or Elon has had success with some of his businesses or Ben Carson is a leading brain surgeon that these people must be really wise. Often they aren't, they just one particular skill or obsession they have honed- often at the expense of being a well rounded person.

I probably wouldn't disagree with this too much, but that is why I gravitate to Lateralus a bit more - the intermission wonkery on AEnima gets more skips.

The Wild Kindness by Silver Jews: I remember this being picked and having no clue what it was
Oil paintings of x-rated picnics
Behind the walls of medication I'm free
Every leaf in a compact mirror
Hits a target that we can't see
No clue what that means but I like this song
Grace by Jeff Buckley: so much potential we never got to see develop, RIP
Tunnels by Arcade Fire: the best rock album of this millennium, it set the standard for indie rock
You Can All Me Al (live) by Paul Simon: good but I strongly prefer the album version that has no good songs on it and surely nobody here will draft (fingers crossed)
Not Your Fault by AWOLNATION: I like this and Sail, never heard anything else by them though

9.11 *redacted* ... just swapped something else out for... Massive Attack- Blue Lines (1991)
blue lines
hymn of the big wheel
sono inglese.
took this in the songs/albums of our lives... and feel like it will go do down nice and smooth on the island.

This here's what I was referring to earlier.Abrantes said:Gotcha. Figured you might've meant an obvious influence of theirs from further back.
9.12 Gang of Four, Entertainment! (1979) ("1979 again?" "Ahhhh yeah - again and again!")
Damaged Goods
I Found That Essence Rare
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
Lotta post-punk gone already, and with some of the oblique spotlighting and gassing up of 1979, it feels like the perfect time to take this. This was my first album of theirs (the 2005 reissue, to be more precise), and I got my money's worth out of that CD. What a killer ####### sound. Choppy guitars, tight drumming, killer bass lines - like a machine gun burst, but rather than scattershot, it's pure precision. Influenced countless bands since then, and it still rules.
"Damaged Goods" was a lock for me. Holy #### is it good, from the opening riff to the cathartic "goodbyegoodbyegoodbyyyyyyyye" finish. I had several others vying for the other spot ("Not Great Men", "Return the Gift"..."Natural's Not in It" is so raw too - this heaven gives me migraine - and I could keep going), but "Essence" makes for a nice one-two with "Damaged Goods".

this was the album I had written up just now before swapping out for Massive Attack.
what in the ever what.
thought it might make it back... somehow.
damaged goods and natural's not in it were the tunes. but was sitting on not great men too.

Also, I LOVE the Massive Attack and Portishead picks today. I was strongly considering a trip hop turn on my next go around with those 2 albums.

So basically everyone spent the first 2-3 rounds grabbing all time classics, then moved on to a few round of personal favourites and now is doubling back and seeing all the "all timers" left on the board?

when Portishead went, the seed for Massive Attack got planted for sure.
I finished typing up the Entertainment! pick... saw the little trip-hop sprout break the surface and *bam* had to take it instead.
seriously uncanny that abrantes took it with the very next pick. I don't think I'm high right now... and not drunk... right? anybody? what in the waht.

My daughter and I had a discussion about whether it would be better to grow up with generational wealth or good parents. She may have been playing to the crowd but she argued for the latter. I'll take it as a win.
