Topic: Ultimate Mixtape Draft - General Discussion Thread

[mikey_LFC]

I had an idea, you guys.  Once everyone's finished picking, how about we create a RAWK YouTube account and everyone/someone creates playlists of the picked songs.  So when it comes to voting you can listen to the mixtape, as it were.

Yeah was thinking similar. Assuming once we are done, we'll put them in the order we want them played too.

The order is important in my selections.

Yup, there's an art to this.

[Bobinhood]

I was just picking songs i liked.  #sillyboy

[Sheer Magnetism]

If people want to post their tapes in track listing order once they're done I can put together a Spotify list and post the link.

[FlashGordon]

I'm selecting mine in the order I want them played, I thought everyone was doing this 

[Chakan]

Who's up?

Holy crap!  Outstanding idea.

I did not select the songs in order, specifically because there are so many songs to choose from...

Ordering comes last for me, but I agree is crucial in hearing the tape ---- and that there is an art to this.

Lastly, FYI.   Just in case there is a tie, I sent Hazell my Side B --- in case a second vote in necessary!

No problem

[Djozer]

Please skip me lads, ill catch up in a couple hours or so.

[Chakan]

Viva in the middle of something so asked to be skipped and he'll catch up later.

[El Lobo]

Kudos lads, I never thought I’d see a draft as hipster as this 

[tubby]

I'm deliberately refraining from going down the hipster rabbit hole and picking songs everyone should know else my mix would be full of stuff like this:

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/FA6vQAHmWoY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/FA6vQAHmWoY</a>

Though this song might actually get me more votes from Hazell.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Skip me lads, I got too much work at the moment, I'll pick later

[Hazell]

Kudos lads, I never thought I’d see a draft as hipster as this 

What? Fleetwood Mac got picked. I prefer their version of 'Go Your Own Way' as opposed to the Corrs but know who I'd rather wake up with (But I'd push the brother out the way)

I'm on my phone at present going home and can't see who this is but I can't wait to find out. I'm guessing lovely Rose Melberg (definitely being picked and thus losing votes) or Talulah Gosh or Beat Happening.

Way more obscure but along those lines.

[Chakan]

We should do one with obscure bands.

Moldy Peaches  - Who's got the crack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsubHmx2Pws

Moldy Peaches - Steak for Chicken
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPlIw5lP49A

[Hazell]

Way more obscure but along those lines.

Another Sunny Day or Black Tambourine or Westlife.

[Chakan]

So we skipping Viva again?

[Hazell]

Way more obscure but along those lines.

Blimey, that is obscure, so much so I've never heard of them

Nice song though, yeah should pick it.

[Hazell]

So we skipping Viva again?

Looking at your picks, I'm curious to see who you're going to pick now you've (probably) exhausted anything pre-2000. May I suggest this:

I think that’s the furthest you’ve stretched to squeeze in an office reference

There's a few +2000 songs I like. That is one of them.

There's a ton of pre-2000 songs that I would love to pick but alas I have indeed exhausted my supply.

[Hazell]

I think that’s the furthest you’ve stretched to squeeze in an office reference 

I was gonna pick 'Gigantic' by the Pixies just for the 'Royal Family playing 20 questions' joke but thought better of it.

[Chakan]

Although my next pick might deviate from my current picks, I just really like the song and band.

[Bobinhood]

Is it this one? is it this one? I bet its this one.

[tubby]

I can probably go a little more obscure, but yeah, it's a nice little tune.

[Chakan]

Waited 30min for Viva he did asked to be skipped so gonna mush on and he can catch up later...

[Djozer]

Should I be PMing anybody? Made my pick, but no idea where in the draft order we are now. Does anybody even care at this point?

We're at tubby, you'll pick after him and we're on the way down...

I forgot to post a link to 'Sugar - If I can't Change Your Mind' so here it is, in all it's poppy loveliness:

Just in case anyone hasn't seen this incredible live performance of the song I just picked.

Bob Mould's a ridiculous genius. Was listening to Workbook a fair bit this year, for some reason. He can even do folk brilliantly.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen this incredible live performance of the song I just picked.

It's nice to know that the world has worse dancers than me. Class tune though.

[vivabobbygraham]

40's Fats Domino
60's Beatles, Jethro Tull
70's Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire
80's Elvis Costello, Queen-Bowie
90's Alison Limerick (original 90, (classic remix 91, by the late, great Frankie Knuckles, which is the tune I'm putting up. You'll die and go to heaven. RIP Rory)
00's Amy Winehouse

[Hazell]

Nas ft Anthony Hamilton - The World's an Addiction

Interesting pick, never knew he was an R&B artist when he's not playing snooker.

[Betty Blue]

If one of you fuckers doesn't pick one of my favourite songs ever soon, I'm going to have to do a Bobinhood and make 9 consecutive picks to catch up
