Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - BFJ (329th) + SKIP J-LO (324/325th)

[Nonlinear FC]

Time limit and skipping starting in Round 4.

Until posted by honorable Howard and/or Mr. D, STFU.

There was an implied "humbly submitted" on there.

(The Commish postulated starting that in Round 5, I am advocating for starting it sooner. So, you can kindly STFU.)

[mister d]

The cabins aren't real guys. There's no urgency here.

[L-Jam3]

That's good, so we don't have to worry about splitting the rent in them.

[Nonlinear FC]

The cabins aren't real guys. There's no urgency here.

They're real to ME!

(I know, I know... I am being a poodle. I also keep adding potential picks. And learning some stuff... That Milk album is intriguing, gonna give it a listen on the way home tonight.)

[Rush2112]

That Milk album is intriguing, gonna give it a listen on the way home tonight.)

I'm jealous that you get to listen to it for the first time.

[mister d]

That's a good way to phrase it. Me too.

[Rush2112]

Thank you full album YouTube uploader (I'm currently in the middle of Holland, 1945)

Also found this, which is pretty great.

[Nonlinear FC]

That's a good way to phrase it. Me too.

Actually listening to it now here at work. Very cool so far. It has a Flaming Lips quality to it (I'm only 3 or 4 tracks in.)

[EnochRoot]

When the Flaming Lips mattered. (o;

[DaveInSeattle]

Can't believe Miles is still available:

[L-Jam3]

Damn. Good snag. Any reason why that one over Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew?

[bfj]

That Milk album is intriguing, gonna give it a listen on the way home tonight.)

Quite the circle jerk over this album.

[govmentchedda]

Balances out all the shit I took for my first pick.

[bfj]

Can't believe Miles is still available:

Great choice. I waffled between Trane and Miles.

[bfj]

Balances out all the shit I took for my first pick.

I will have to listen to that one tomorrow.

[mister d]

...i... circle jerk over ...his ...bum.

[govmentchedda]

His voice isn't for everyone, but the album is so damn great.

[Pruitt]

...i... circle jerk over ...his ...bum.

You're killing me here!

[Nonlinear FC]

Damn. Good snag. Any reason why that one over Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew?

Kind of Blue was on my list.

[Ryan]

I take it BSF thought he had an agreement with a good album but it totally bailed?

[BSF21]

I take it BSF thought he had an agreement with a good album but it totally bailed?

Good one. BSF was asleep early because these new puppers have been running his life. I'll try to have something here soon.

[mister d]

Maybe the new rule will end up being "if you show up here and don't pick within 30 minutes, you're Viking'd".

[BSF21]

Alright, since apparently I have to make a pick as soon as I get on the computer in the morning regardless of other shit I might have to do, I'll hurry this along.

Tough pick between which albums, I'd take Fillmore East for sure but someone made a "no live albums" rule. So let's go back to where it all started.

With the 9th pick in the 3rd round, BSF's Vinyl Friday selects:



The Allman Brothers Band -- Self Titled (1969)

Maybe nostalgia with my pops but definitely because Duane Allman.

[mister d]

Thanks man. Sorry to put you out like this.

[BSF21]

Thanks man. Sorry to put you out like this.

It's a rough road. Be careful though, Rush is in a different time zone. Could take him upwards of 45 minutes.

[Giff]

I was contemplating asking the judge the comment on the live album rule if Allman Brothers made it to me.

[mister d]

Would have been dismissed with fucking prejudice.

[Giff]

Not if it's the artist's seminal recording.

[mister d]

[EnochRoot]

Not if it's the artist's seminal recording.

MC5 comes to mind.

[Rush2112]

Going back to my youth for this pick, Simon and Garfunkle was the music of my childhood. It was on the turntable constantly. It was just there so I never realized how good it was. Then when I was a teenager Simon got a hold of a hot mixtape and decided to introduce us to Afrobeat and other assorted World Music. This was in my CD player constantly. I love the rest of his catalogue but you gotta go with the epic album

[P.D.X.]

Pretty surprised how low that went.

[L-Jam3]

I was just listening to Graceland about a week ago in the car. Great album.

[Ryan]

It's a pretty fun album but I think it's a crime that S&G won't get picked now.

[Rush2112]

If you want to read about /listen to some of the sources for the music for Graceland.

[P.D.X.]

At least this way Art's albums are still available.

[Rush2112]

It's a pretty fun album but I think it's a crime that S&G won't get picked now.

The Concert In Central Park is their opus, and that's out. Graceland > Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, & Thyme

I understand NMH and this album aren't for everyone, but I really don't like the dismissive tone of those who don't like it that is articulated herein.

[Ryan]

Yeah upon review, their great songs are almost too perfectly distributed across the albums.
