OT: Watcha Listenin' To? Part VIII: All I Wanted was a Pepsi

[Jack Straw]

I'm not sure it would be a great idea. Instead of being pissed at a random radio station and the masses of Philadelphia, we would get mad at each other.

What makes you think "we" aren't already?

Ok @Captain Dave Poulin hear me out...

We could do a "Wheel of Music"

I quickly created a wheel that can be embeded (which could be modified) with different slices on there. We take turns spinning the wheel and then share a song/video based on whatever category we get. We would first have to find out who wants to participate and create an order. Maybe we could even wait until January to start to work on the kinks. After you drop your song, you tag the next person on the list (similar to the Quackverse). The fun part is the Wheel forcing you to think about and share music that you might not normally have on the brain.

Is this incredibly stupid or am I on to something?

Edit: How the hell do I embed on this site? I have the code for the wheel

 

[GKJ]

That XPN countdown has made me wander if we could pull of our own music poll/countdown type of thing?

Not with some music tastes on this board .... not mentioning names

Plus you know some smart ass is going to do all Joni songs now

Maybe if there were specific categories and not too broad

 

[Rebels57]

That's why I was thinking a Category Wheel, but I don't know if it can be embeded.

Here's the link to one I made with 12 categories.

I can't really picture it, but it sounds cool - it's worth a try.

27th. All time. Someone should lose a hand over voting for that f***ing thing.

Most of her output is better than that angry bellowing.

 

[Beef Invictus]

White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane is #24. I wanted a 60's song, and this was my pick. It was my #8 song



One to go...

Only 3 better than Oughta Know.


Um

 

[Beef Invictus]

Today would have been my sister's 35th birthday, but she passed away from an overdose in January 2019. It's not an easy day for me and my family, and this song represents (most AIC songs do) my relationship with her over the last ~10 years of her life before she passed away. I miss the hell out of her. I'm not trying to be a buzzkill or looking for attention, I just need to get it off my chest.

This is close to a perfect album for such a subject.

That didn't take long lol

If we could somehow embed an operational wheel, it would be pretty cool. Keyword is somehow.

Where my nerds at?

No it's not.

 

[Beef Invictus]

No it's not.

Yes it is

I am not having this discussion in the Year of Our Lord 2023. Not today, Satan.

Um

It’s about where I thought. Top 20 I was hoping.

I believe they're mostly JavaScript, which means no. Nor would it be a good idea to ever enable such a thing.

Is that worse than enabling defect?

 

[macleish1974]

First off on any list, what would be defined as "songs". Rock, Rap, HipHop, Soul, Funk, Disco,New Age, Country, Americana, etc. Would the art lieder of Schubert count, how about Machaut's motets??

Everything is a song. Vote for the Baby Back Ribs commercial if you want.

John Cage 4’33

 

[JojoTheWhale]

John Cage 4’33

Exactly. Then sometime around the late 70s, Cage heard KISS and made the only exception. I believe the exact quote was “Everything is music except whatever those knobs just did.”

You are a murderer of dreams.

I was just thinking about the Best Songs by Women List again and realized that neither Selena nor Gloria Estefan made the list. Once again highlights the lack of diversity. Good thing there were 30 Joni f***ing Mitchell songs though.

Her last album was a bit of a mess, as close to a misfire as she's had. I haven't really gotten into the new one yet. I've given it a couple spins and I'm digging the overall mellowed vibe, but it sure does feel like she's never going to really unleash again. It makes sense, she's 54 after all and has always strived to not repeat herself. Now that I've said that, her next album will either be some noise punk affair or a bunch of jazz standards.

Similarly, per our earlier discussion, Sleater-Kinney's new single is a perfectly fine song. Catchy, some nice guitar work, Corin singing emotively, if restrained. I'm just not sure it's really Sleater-Kinney.



I mean, dueling synths? Fred Armisen randomly popping up halfway through to play tambourine? Carrie rocking what has to be an absurdly expensive dress? And that poor, poor drummer looking hella awkward behind the kit with the impossible task of filling Janet's shoes. It sure is a hell of a long way from this, for better and worse, I guess:

Sort of reminds me of Nine Inch Nails later on, when people asked by it didn’t sound as dark and edgy, and Trent said he wasn’t miserable anymore so he had to do something else.
