You saw Gary Numan live? That must have been something.

I saw him live too. Probably the same show, different companions, LOL. I think it was the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium I think I have the ticket stub somewhere in my office. And... I do. March 9, 1980

I think DI desperately needs a "Rock the Fuck Out" mini-game.

 

[bono_212]

whose Retro list should I listen to next. I've heard:

Hardy
Khan
Nam

I think DI desperately needs a "Rock the Fuck Out" mini-game.

Unfortunately, I used up a large chunk of my favorite rocking the fuck out tracks on my DI5 list.

 

[phillyfan26]

Isn't cross-over allowed between mini-games and full editions?

 

[LemonMelon]

You would have to ask Phanan about that. I hate reusing tracks anyway.

 

[phanan]

Ohhh, interesting.

Do you have any ideas brewin' for other mini-games?

I still like an idea I had where we pretended it was December 31, 1969, thereby requiring that any tracks used would have to have existed before that date. What an interesting tournament that would be.

Realistically though, I'm not sure how many people would be able to do something like that.

We could do other genres or eras, also.

 

[Lila64]

Yeah, what's the difference if you re-use some tracks?

 

[phanan]

Isn't cross-over allowed between mini-games and full editions?

Yes. Any songs used in a mini-tournament are considered separate from DI and therefore can be repeated.

Count me in.

I've always wanted to host a hip-hop tournament.

 

[phillyfan26]

Well, you can't in full editions. Any track you used in DI's 1-4 cannot be used.

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't have nearly enough pre-1970 music to do that.

Most of my music is from that '70s.

 

[LemonMelon]

Besides Axver and Screwy, I think most folks here have a great fondness for 60's music. Personally, my head could explode from the greatness.

Same. I can do "before Dec 31st, 1979" but not 1969.

An Indie Rock mini-game would bring out some cool B&C'ers, possibly.

 

[phanan]

I know DaveC was interested in that as well.

I could actually participate in that, but mine would be full of old school hip hop from the 80's and 90's.

Agreed. The late 60's alone would be amazing.

 

[phillyfan26]

I need to start listening to new albums again.

Suggestions for today?

Same here, actually. There are only a handful of artists from the last 5 years or so that I actually follow. But I could cobble a list together easily.

 

[LMP]

I need to start listening to new albums again.

Suggestions for today?

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Pixies - Doolittle
Wilco - Being There

I'm on a Beatles kick lately. What have you heard by them?

 

[phillyfan26]

I have Sgt. Pepper's, but that's it, aside from a greatest hits album.

I have mixed feelings for it. It's pretty good, but very overrated.

 

[bono_212]

pre 70s would be fun, but a lot of what I have is also from the 70s. Still, I could definitely come up with somethiing

 

[LMP]

Sgt. Pepper isn't my fave either. You'd love Abbey Road and like Rubber Soul, I think.

 

[phanan]

Finishing up Khan's playlist...

I survived that Culture Club track.

Puttin' On The Ritz is classic 80's new wave, and a true gem.

Loved the final trio of Icehouse, Simple Minds, and INXS. All great songs that go very well together.

So with the exception of Wang Chung and Culture Club, I like all these songs. A little tweak in the sequencing in some spots would have improved it a bit, but still, all in all, a very good job.

I love Sgt. Pepper's, but I agree that it's far from their best.

Get Revolver. NOW. The amount of classics there is unbelievable, and it was poorly represented on 1. Abbey Road is my personal favorite, but it's not for everyone.

 

[phillyfan26]

Alright, adding all these albums to my ever-growing list...

If he isn't a big fan of the experimentation of Sgt. Pepper, do you think he'd like it?

 

[phillyfan26]

I think the first few songs of Sgt. Pepper are very good, but that it kind of tails off until the end.

You were shocked one time when I didn't know a song off Born To Run because I don't have the album. And you haven't even listened to the fucking Beatles properly???

 

[LemonMelon]

BTW, LMP, I'm giving Love a complete listen for the first time. I've had it on the shelf for ages, but now I'm digging in. Some of the segues are pretty shit (I Want You--->Help?), but they did a great job on the mash-ups. It's a refreshing listen.
