sorry @jeremyxbolm, if only you performed the ending song in freaky friday

 

Jeremy, are you or are you not an actor? It is important this question be answered before the round ends.

 

Very odd playlist but better than expected. Some unique choices for sure and that Crispin Glover song will haunt my dreams.

 

I will proudly be the only person to give high marks to the Crispin Glover song, lol. Absolutely wild stuff

 

Looking at where my song is I’m kinda wishing I went with Falling Slowly instead!

 

This is my favorite playlist this season probably. I don’t know why I like it so much lol. After listening to it once and putting how many votes I thought each one deserved, I used 35 votes. It was hard to pair it down. I was really surprised how much I liked the Vanessa and Lindsay songs

 

Someone pushed mine into the top ten, tied with several others. Thanks for that, because it is deserving.

 

That was probably me, I just voted

 

Cowards!

 

I’m surprised we didn’t have the other Goonie turned musician represented.

 

Does anyone know the background/context behind the Crispin Glover song?

 

wasn't my pick, but Brie Larson actually has a whole album of original material

 

Recently in my work league, we did a round for Nepo Babies, which has some crossover with Multi-hyphenates ironically (Schwartzmen on both playlists, Will Smith's kids on the other playlist...)

Anyway, someone in that league posted a song from Zoe Kravitz's band and it actually was pretty fucking cool, the whole album is on my "to-listen-to" list now, but I feel like this group would dig it

 

Damn, nepo babies would be a fantastic category

 

Also I’ll offer up in my defense of being one of the Schwartzman picks - I know he was a very obvious choice, but I was intentionally trying to throw a curveball by leaning towards a musician that wasn’t the front person/singer in their project

 

Triple post but LOL I didn’t mean to give Wicked Wisdom a point. Wouldn’t feel the need to specifically mention this had my comment not been about me disliking it

 

Hell yeah, second place in this round! That was the theme I picked

 

Hey, it beat out one of the Schwartzman picks lol

 

Start it boiiiii

 

going live in 18 minutes!

 

Man. I really do hate ska music so much lol

 

I totally forgot to add the description to my song, and since I'm nowhere near contention I'm going to drop it here and spoil my pick:

Sturgill Simpson - "Keep It Between the Lines"

When the horns first come in on this album, a little past the halfway mark of opener "Welcome To Earth (Pollywog)", it's a quick vibe change and really brings the song to life, but they're more of an embellishment. They disappear for the next song, in favor of a gorgeous string arrangement, but then come roaring back here. They're performed by soul-legend Sharon Jones' band The Dap-Kings and completely steal the show, bringing some of that soulful flair to Sturgill's already soulful (meta)modern country jam.

 

Good ska is good but bad ska is bad
