  • The above discussion has been leaning towards letting it stand. It was more of a play and a performance

    and yes - you made no sense

      You trickster!
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        If no-one objects strenuously, I'll leave it. But it won't be considered a precedent for anything ... no matter how unjust that may seem.

        • Just a friendly reminder to you young punks, you Nirvana/Pixies/Radiohead angst-merchants: some of your elders were walking around in black overcoats and drinking cough syrup listening to crap like that while you were riding Big Wheels and eating Cocoa Puffs DAMMIT.

          Nice pick. Another I consigned myself to losing when/if I didn't pick it at the turn.

          • I just don't get the Neutral Milk Hotel thing. I'll give it another try... i'll throw a couple of songs on the youTube playlist, but I'm not too optimistic.

              I'd recommend listening to the entire album, hearing a couple random songs as part of a larger mix won't have the same impact.

                Maybe it's one of those records that needs to sink in before it clicks ... Two Headed Boy Pt 2 and In The Aeroplane Over The Sea are the stand out tracks for me. Ask someone else, you'll get 2 different tracks. There isn't a weak song on the record, and IMO it plays best as a start to finish LP ... it's old fashioned like that. I hate it when people say modern albums are just collections of singles. That's just stupid.

                    My apologies then; I distinctly recall you poking fun at us during one of the drafts, but my memory isn't too reliable anymore.

                        That's why I took "Black Sheets of Rain" in the first round

                          • I thought ElD was going to take PE in round 1.....and I'm fine with the "Stop Making Sense" pick

                            • I'm not so surprised at PE going... their albums are always staples of 'Best Of' lists. I fully expected their 2 or 3 biggies to go (just not by me).

                                Yeah ... ITANOMTHUB was always getting drafted. Massive miscalculation by Diablo.
