To the best of my knowledge and ability the playlist is updated.
Now time for a beer and the 10 selection wait/sweat for my picks at the turn.

Uruk is a skip and I have pik phone number, so if you're 5-6 picks away, you'll probably come up quicker than you may think.

Catching up the spreadsheet, Doug and Chaos haven't made up their skipped picks from what I can see? Tasker said he'd be here by 8 I'll give a couple more minutes then pick.

Alright, I think there was some talk earlier about this band not having any good albums post-1987 but this is my favourite of theirs and the first CD I ever bought. It's weird and kind of all over the place and there isn't a bad song on it.

4.29 Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
"WTF IS ARCADE FIRE"
I have been trying to decide what songs to post for the last hour or so.
Songs are Half Light I and Half Light II!
I was thinking Surburban War and We Used to Wait, but also would love to instead throw Half Light 1 and 2 on there. They are hidden gems that nobody probably knows. Funny thing is, I'm not sure anyone knows the first two outside of fans. Do you all know the first two I mentioned?

I remember that, and I was thinking what about Achtung Baby, but I didn't want to spotlight it. I'd be very happy to have the album on my island.

I looked at the upcoming drafters and decided there was literally no chance @Steve Tasker would get sniped in the next few picks (if I posted mine) unless you took this exact album, so... sorry Tasker

Wasn't me taking this here, about as sure a thing as there ever was, lol?

Damn, I have been listening to this the last couple days with the intent of taking it. Nice pick.

I think it’s my favorite album by them also. I’m not a huge fan of them though - not sure why really.

Strongly considered The Suburbs, I go back and forth on which I prefer sometimes, that or Funeral.
It was the 23rd anniversary of Kasparov losing to Deep Blue just this week. He could never predict it, that it could see through him. Kasparov, Deep Blue, 1996.

4.31 - Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix Experience (North American edition)
Never imagined i'd have a shot at this (it went 1.02 15 yrs ago). It's not even my favorite Hendrix (one other is more of-a-piece) but, on my island, the thing i'm gonna miss the most, besides the obvious, is human exceptionality and this is one of the handful of records that made me different by the listening.
Foxy Lady (for my Kathy)
Hey, Joe (for Natman)

It was THE obvious album that is high on every all time list still out there.

4.27 - Nas - Illmatic
One of the most influential hip-hop albums of all-time, a gritty magnum opus for 90s east coast hip-hop. Nas has fallen off a bit in more recent times, as to be expected when you've been in the game for 30 years (dude's approaching 50), but for about a decade he was absolute fire, and he'll always hold a place as one of my all-time favorites.
"It Ain't Hard to Tell" (that Michael Jackson sample :chefkiss: )
"Life's a #####"

While that other one is my favorite Wilco album, Misunderstood is my favorite Wilco song.

I would say that I like some of the individual songs off Neon Bible better - "No Cars Go", "The Well and the Lighthouse", but top-to-bottom I prefer The Suburbs. Tough to find fault with either of them.

This is my 2nd favorite Pixies' album with Surfer a close 3rd.
U-Mass is my 1a to Debaser as their best song. Love the JAMC cover too.

Got a cigar, a cocktail, and some music here on the back porch. Nice night.

Arcade Fire would probably make my "band I never really got" draft. I like some of their stuff but they never really signified for me like they obviously have for others. It's probably mostly an age thing but I like other bands from the same general period. The fact I've never seen them play live is another factor.

Strong recommendation to watch last year's documentary David Crosby: Remember My Name, if you haven't already.
This was one I wanted but figured someone else would want it more. What a great record.
Shocked this hadn't been taken earlier.
Those look delicious, but appear to be dumplings in soup, not soup dumplings.
I still love White Castles even after not living near one in ages. It's a result of my poor upbringing. Such a guilty pleasure.

Well damn.....I got this one in R20 the last time. Doesn't surprise me you took it here.
I saw them 5 times on this tour---some of the best concerts I've ever seen. Sadly the last few albums pale in comparison and so do the live shows. Still love them though.

How are you keeping the dumplings for three hours? There are few foods that are as temperature sensitive as xiao long bao. They have to be served a couple of degrees lower than the burning point of the roof of your mouth.

I am enjoying the ride and these drafts always make me dig into my music more which is always a good thing. Problem is I do research, then have a few too many albums that I really want when my pick gets close and then sweat about which one I am going to lose out on.

See them live. They are really fun. Be prepared for the most mellow and nerdy/geeky crowd in history though. I love it!

Funny you mention that - I said to OH that the benefit today is that we didn't burn our mouths off when the hot soup squirted out. It took me about 1:15 to get home with them (took the longer but more pleasant way to get there, and the faster but PITA-ier way to get home), so they were not in ideal form but still fabulous. I've reheated them before when bringing home leftovers, and you can do surprisingly well in reheating if you have a good steamer.
I might have gotten a few other things, too.
