I was honestly thinking of taking that N.W.A. just because it was ridiculous it was still out there.Round 19.38 - 8 Mile - OST (2002)
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Rabbit Run - Eminem
Round - 20.03 - N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton (1988)
Express Yourself
8 Ball
Two more landmarks for the island. 8 Mile hit large in the early aughts, Straight Outta was around
How'd these last so long? Oh yeah. I'm the only guy taking rap.
It's the cussing. I can't take these because of the playlist. I would have taken this LONG ago if so. Others too. Great pick.Round 19.38 - 8 Mile - OST (2002)

I was sort of deferring to other people lest my island become a greatest hits island and not a personalized one. I figure with this many rounds I can split the difference. I don't have that many more to draft, anyway.I was honestly thinking of taking that N.W.A. just because it was ridiculous it was still out there.
No, was hoping to get Diary of a Madman or Ride the Lightening with my first pick.You took it in round two? @Raging weasel
I'd be fit to be tied. What is wrong with people? I'm sorry that happened.Put me on auto skip for a couple of days. I know this sounds wimpy and self pity. But I had planted an oak tree in Pre-K after a brief scare that put me in the hospital. My neighbors had it removed without any consultation yesterday. I am just bummed. Sorry.
The last two rounds I have almost taken this. It's a great album.now we are cooking with gas, two picks in the same day! Still a fave of mine... need some Amy and Emily harmonies on the Island...
Rd 21 - Indigo Girls - Indigo Girls - 1989
- Closer to Fine
- Prince of Darkness
Buffaloes is #20, Weasel is #24So where is Buffaloes position in the draft, and where is Raging Weasles?
They took Doug (21.20) and Oliver (21.24) spots basically mid draft.So where is Buffaloes position in the draft, and where is Raging Weasles?
I was hoping to grab this one later. An underrated album from them but one of my favorites.Lots of great R.E.M. taken already, but I'm reasonably happy to get this one.
21.25 - R.E.M. - Document (1987)
Finest Worksong
It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Do I win a longest song title award?
Any time you can trade two guys for multiple buffaloes and weasels, you have to consider it a win.They took Doug (21.20) and Oliver (21.24) spots basically mid draft.So where is Buffaloes position in the draft, and where is Raging Weasles?
Very on my radar.21.23 - Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too - New Radicals (1998)
Probably a reach but it only takes one to snipe. I have mad irrational love for one of my all-time favorite one and done albums.
Someday We'll Know
Mother We Just Can't Get Enough
One of my favorites, and I went ahead and took now because you never know who else might also think it's underrated!I was hoping to grab this one later. An underrated album from them but one of my favorites.Lots of great R.E.M. taken already, but I'm reasonably happy to get this one.

That sucks wazoo.Put me on auto skip for a couple of days. I know this sounds wimpy and self pity. But I had planted an oak tree in Pre-K after a brief scare that put me in the hospital. It really got me into environmental science and climate change.My neighbors had it removed without any consultation yesterday. I am just bummed. Sorry.
Don't watch Making the Murderer...I'd be fit to be tied. What is wrong with people? I'm sorry that happened.
The best album i couldnt bring to a desert island. not close -PICK 21.21
ROXY MUSIC - AVALON (1982)
Songs
- More Than This
- Avalon
I am a big early Roxy Music fan but this album is much closer to Bryan Ferry's move to his solo career sound. I could listen to these two songs over and over. The whole album is awesome.
Had to get James Murphy on the island. And it's probably a minority opinion, but depending on the day this might be my fav of the lot. Maybe. I don't know. It's not the groundbreaking drop of self titled or SOS. And it doesn't have some of the charisma and charm of cuts like Pow Pow, but it's basically a sublime aggregate of 80sish-ish sounds and nods mixed with electro-whatever and Murphy's usual dry wit and self consciousnesses that hits the right spot for me. The guitar sound in Change Yr Mind that I'm pretty sure I've heard before but I can't place it is summed up by Murphy's quote, "Borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered eighties." The build up and drop in Murphy's almost-10 minute long diss track How Do you Sleep (Tempted to put this epic on the playlist but I will hold off since it's got an ancestor in Dance Yrslf Clean on it) sucked me in and then the rest of the album kept me there.LCD Soundsystem - American Dream
(2017)
will update with songs and write up in a bit
This pace is UNSUSTAINABLE
And unprecedented.
