WEEK 8 DRAW:

Final week. Huge thanks to those that have kept this alive. I’ve loved reading people’s reflections/write ups. I’ve also found a new love for so many tracks. So, last draw...

Entries 16 and 24!

16. blindmowing
Sponge Luke, My Favorite Colors, Honeycomb, Loch Raven, Ponytail


24. madameghostly
Wide Eyed, Catchy (Was Contagious), Tropic of Cancer, Jake and Me, Cranked




‘5 Song Selection’ listening activity in lead up to Isn’t It Now? :

A nice way for us to ease the wait and soak up plenty of AC gold in the process.

Anyone who is willing to commit to participating submits a selection of 5 AC (including solo etc.) tracks that they would love people to listen to/focus on/revisit/re-evaluate in a given week. They could be tracks you think are underrated or forgotten or just classics that we can enjoy anew. Keeping it to 5 tracks should keep the commitment level reasonably low/achievable. Submitting your 5 tracks means you’re committing to listen to and comment on other people’s selections for the next 8 weeks. It’s about sharing ideas and conversations (not just throwing out lists you think others should listen to).

If you’re keen to participate, post your 5 tracks below. I’ll add each entry into this OP as they float in. If a track is already taken, go with something new. The more tracks we cover the better!

At the start of each week (for the 8 weeks leading up to IIN) TWO entries will be chosen via random number generator and we will all spend the week revisiting and discussing the 10 tracks selected by those two users.

I'll be using this site to generate two numbers each Friday:
https://commentpicker.com/random-number-generator.php

Get your entries in so that the first selection can happen on Friday (the 4th). That will mean 8 neat weeks and 16 sets of 5 track selections. Note: I’m living in the future in Australia so will do the random draw when it’s Friday here. This will give most others a bit of time to see whose selections are coming up for the week.

This should be rad! You’re all rad!

Hit me with your picks. :metal

Yeh, I often overlooked remixes so definitely acceptable. Might be a good opportunity to give it/them a decent chance.

Glad you’re keen!

Holy shit 21 entries already! Will pop them all in the OP in a bit.

Did not anticipate that so many people would be keen.

Would everyone be willing to commit to 2 sets of 5 tracks a week? That’d mean 16 people’s lists (of 21 so far) will get a run.

Great to see the board buzzing for shit like this!

I’m listening to at least 10 AC songs a day at the moment so 10 a week will be no problem for me. I’m down for that!

Yeh, last time I put together a weekly listening schedule of their back catalogue. was good fun but thought it'd be nice to mix it up a bit this time.

Right on. I let my excitement of the exercise get the best of me. Here’s my updated list):

1. What I Do (updated live instrumentation tropicalia treatment a la Broke Zodiac/Gem & I)
2. College (somehow interpolated with Kings could be cool)
3. Country Report
4. Bridge to Quiet (this song is a jam, would be interesting to see how they’d pull this off live)
5. Just Am

I know it’s not part of the request to factor in songs we’d like to see reworked but I feel like, at least for me, the two go hand in hand. Cheers!
