@irthesteve I've got a buddy who is interested in joining, but either I can't send an invite or I have been outsmarted by the app. Do I need to send you his email?
That's weird, you should be able to just the link I posted... That being said, DM m me his email address and I'll send an invite that way too.
What's up everybody I'm Kyle's friend - looking forward to listening to the 1st playlist! I'm in and ready to go :)
I didn't feel like doing work so here's what I would have picked in Season 8 Season 8: Season Eight, We're Great! ROUND 1: Best of 2025 (So Far) Submit a song that was released in 2025 The Living End - Alfie ROUND 2: Wakey Wakey! Submit a song that you could set as your morning alarm on your phone. The Clash – Safe European Home ROUND 3: Cheer Up, Kid Submit a song that instantly cheers you up on a shitty day Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Ain’t No Easy Way ROUND 4: Donde esta la biblioteca, Pedro? Submit a Latin song. Sung in Spanish, from a Latinx artist, etc Ritchie Valens – La Bamba ROUND 5: Sha na na na la la la Submit a song that prominently utilizes non-lexical vocables (Google it) The Beatles – Hey Jude (I’ll pick the layup haha) ROUND 6: THPS Submit a song that would fit on the soundtrack to a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game. If you aren't familiar, submit a song that you'd skateboard to. The Interrupters – Liberty (I would have picked Ween – It’s Gonna Be a Long Night but that song was on THUG 2 which I’m pretty sure I played so that’s probably why I thought it would be a good Tony Hawk song) ROUND 7: For The Kids Submit a song that would primarily be described as a kids song The Aggrolites – Banana (from Yo Gabba Gabba!) ROUND 8: Can't Be Tamed Submit a song that can not be described by a single genre Transplants – Diamonds and Guns ROUND 9: The Silver Screen Submit a TV show's theme song Steve Earle – Way Down in the Hole (Season 5 of The Wire) ROUND 10: Locals Only Submit a song from your band, your friend's band, or a local/regional band (that never really gained wider traction/recognition) Arty Hill and the Long Gone Daddys – I Might Have Been a Lawyer (But I Couldn’t Pass the Bar)
I always think of great topics for rounds after we already started but always end up forgetting them when it is time to submit, like yesterday I thought of “songs named after girls”
I don’t think we’ve done it, but also I’m happy with whatever themes we wind up with usually haha. Just thankful that someone else takes the time to set it all up! I’ve had plenty enough get picked This season I got round 6 on!
Also, and this might be dumb, but our “best songs of the year (so far)” are always universally praised because they are high quality and great for discovery… and I know we just had one for the half year mark… but we are all nerds who have a list of like 10 best songs of the year at all times, so can we just sneak in a round of “Another best song of the year”?
