Yo Mama 3,910 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 3 hours ago, Eephus said: I rolled @Yo Mama protest songs jukebox today. It was an interesting listen taking the songs out of their original context and putting them together into a mix of other political statements. That said, the theme didn't seem overly didactic because of the varying musical styles. There were some songs that I didn't realize were protest songs before. It was a nice mix of mostly Rock and Rap with some other stuff thrown in. Memorable tunes were "Biko" because it came on when we were tackling a big hill and "World Destruction" because I haven't heard it in a million years. Thanks for listening. I tried to mix up the genres as much as I could (within my wheelhouse). I definitely stretched the “protest” definition for a few years based on how the song was presented / performed or how it is associated with different movements. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I finished second in Year 1 but my Bowie only draft didn’t do me any favors in Year 2. I beat you in the semis that year. I beat Nick Vermeil to win it. You finished third!!! Mahomes was your QB and I had the song and everything all picked out for him during the draft. "Heartbeat" by Buddy Holly from Lubbock, TX. simey killed me last year with snipes, too. It's really quite the snipey football draft, all things considered. Edited August 15, 2020 by rockaction 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yo Mama 3,910 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 On the flip side, I’ve been bummed I haven’t been able to listen to other playlists the past couple weeks. I had surgery a couple weeks ago to remove some skin cancer cells from one of my ears. They took enough skin off that I needed a skin graft to replace it, so I now have to wear a salad bowl sized thing filled with gauze strapped to my head to protect my ear. Long story short, it sucks listening to music with one headphone, and I’m not supposed to get to sweaty so I can’t go for my walks/hikes where I usually do most of my music listening. Hopefully I’ll be back on my normal #### in another week. 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm feeling the same ennui over the dynasty baseball league I've been in for 13 years. NV and PIK are in the league as well. Definitely haven't been as active on the waiver wire and my lineup management hasn't been up to standards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm having a hard time caring enough to manage my baseball teams this year and that's a sport I love. To my surprise I've been suffering something similar. Part of it is the family staying up later, but I've barely watched any games beginning-to-end. Rather than turn on a late inning game when they all go to bed I've just followed them upstairs. And I'm not watching this weekend, but I've trended towards golf on Saturday and Sunday instead of baseball. The extent of my magic baseball management has been a late day check-in just to make sure there weren't any injuries to account for, a morning scroll through razzball, and if I get an alert saying someone in my lineup is not starting. If I'm this disengaged with baseball I can't imagine I lock in to football beyond my hapless Browns. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hov34 4,819 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 BTW, thank @Eephus for this format and getting this started. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Also am digging some of the B-Sides (mine and others) that I had no clue existed. That was a nice bonus in this draft. ONE of the best parts of these things is discovering new music/artists and why I keep coming back. Thanks Everyone! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eephus 24,594 Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I rolled and shuffled @Hov34 Groove Sauce or Groove Shack on what passes for a muggy August day in these parts. Lots of great songs with kind of a late night vibe to it. It can get funky on occasion but then settles back into the groove sauce or shack. I heard Michael Jackson three times but it's too late to check into flipside shenanigans. There were a couple of songs in French which I always love and you know how I feel about Black women. The Alicia Keys voicemail monologue is ridiculous. Edited August 17, 2020 by Eephus 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eephus 24,594 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 Listened to @Raging weasel His&Hers 1 and no hit Wonders jukebox. It would have taken me a long time to figure out the concept but it was an interesting mix with some off the wall choices to liven things up. I'm still not sure what the His&Hers part in the title means; there weren't any duets that stood out. Electric Avenue by the Reggae cover band was the only song I skipped. It was a short walk today down to the farmers' market without a lot of lollygagging because of the poor air quality here. I'll try to get back to this jukebox later. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MGMT's "Electric Feel" sampled by Nipsey Hussle's "Call From The Bank." eta* And added Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" from 1981 and Rihanna's "Don't Stop The Music" from 2007. eta2* Also added Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" from 1998 and the Fat Albert Theme Song from 1972.
