  1. AWWWWW YEEEEAAAAA. I've been listening to "Check Your Head" like a madman the past couple days. It's so fantastic.
  2. "Gratitude" - Beastie Boys (1992) "Buggin' Out" - A Tribe Called Quest (1991) "They Want EFX" - Das EFX (1992) All about old-school rap today
  3. So Chvrches album is very good. Good electro-pop kinda stuff.
  4. Though Damien Rice's "Cannonball" is pretty good too
  5. Probably Supertramp's song "Cannonball"

  7. So in another league I'm in, I have Peyton and Wes Welker, and got a boatload of points. Then I looked at our league and said "Crap, every point I get for Manning in my first league goes against me in this league". I'm gonna need a big week
  8. YES I WATCH THIS SHOW. I love it so much
  9. I completely agree. However, I'm a fan of McCain, for the most part. And I'm pretty sure we all know his position on Syria, as he's pretty blatantly said it.
  10. Ah damn. My bad. I was going to nominate earlier today but didn't have time. Bummer. I'll vote later though.
  11. Well, this is just a thought, but since everyone seems to not like their teams, perhaps we could consider a live online draft next time? If you're not present for the live online draft, you'll just be autodrafted anyways, same as it just was, but those of us there will be able to make our own picks. Just a suggestion.
  12. Yea, my team is kind of whatever. We'll see. I'm not too fond of Ryan Matthews on my team
  13. 1. Passenger Side - Wilco (1995) 2. Only Women Bleed - Alice Cooper (1975) 3. I Can Talk - Two Door Cinema Club (2010) 4. Know Your Enemy - Rage Against The Machine (1992) 5. Can't Hold Us - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton (2013) 6. Hangin' Around - Edgar Winter Group (1972) 7. Land of Confusion - Disturbed (2005) 8. Here Comes My Baby - Cat Stevens (1967) 9. Bad Boys Running Wild - Scorpions (1984) 10. Take This Waltz - Leonard Cohen (1988)
  14. Why was it unexpected though? That's what's confusing me. Miley Cyrus comes on stage and, keeping in mind everything that's been surrounding her the past few months, everyone expects a tame, no-big-deal performance? Also, I'm not necessarily trying to talk bad about hip-hop, because I love hip-hop and there's a ton of hip-hop that does not objectify women, but it appears to be prevalent in hip-hop. And I'm also not saying "It happens everywhere, so live with it", I'm saying that Miley isn't the problem. The problem has existed for a very long time, this is just another example of it. This isn't something new, something different. Men (and women) have been objectifying women for a very long time. That is the problem that needs to be addressed, and it has nothing to do with Miley Cyrus.
  15. Alright, we're ready. Should be drafted within the next 24 hours.
  16. I don't think what Miley did is the problem. I think it's a larger problem. I mean honestly, is anyone genuinely surprised at what she did? She had been doing stuff like this (in her music video especially) for awhile, so when she cam out to perform, were people honestly naive enough to think "Well I'm sure that this will be a wholesome performance for sure. Can't imagine anything bad is going to happen." Why is this such a shock? Secondly, why is no one mad at Robin Thicke? The guy is (literally) twice Miley's age, married with children, and he's dancing to a song about the blurred lines between rape and consent with naked women (in his video) and a barely clothed Miley Cyrus. Also, she was wearing the clothes that were worn in the censored version of Thicke's video. Most likely, that outfit was his idea. Also, if you wanna get mad at Miley, get mad at Lady Gaga too, as she was dressed pretty similarly during her performance. I just want to understand what was so hedonistically horrible about what she did. She was essentially in her underwear dancing (though had she been at the beach, or been wearing a bikini in general, the outfit would've been totally acceptable). She was sexually suggestively dancing. That's it. Guess where else you see that? Literally almost everywhere. Go to a club. Honestly, any club, you'll see the same thing if not worse. Look at virtually any hip-hop video, you'll see the same thing if not worse. Miley isn't the problem, she's just the catalyst for debate. There's a larger problem. Did she do anything to continue perpetuating this idea of the objectification of women? You could argue that. She certainly didn't help. But is she her own person who can do what she wants? Yup, sure is.
  17. Go listen to Forest Swords' "Engravings" because it's one of the best electronic albums of the year
  18. Nope. It just autopicks. To manually select players, we'd have to do a live online draft. The closest thing you can get to manually picking a player in autodraft is your pre-draft rankings.
  19. Alright, we have ten teams. Last call for anyone to join. I'm going to set out team to "ready to autodraft" by this evening. If anyone else wants to join, say something.
  20. 1. At the Beach ~ The Avett Brothers 2. I’m In Love With a Girl ~ Big Star 3. Ho Hey ~ The Lumineers 4. Psychotic Girl ~ The Black Keys 5. Oh Comely ~ Neutral Milk Hotel 6. The Scientist ~ Coldplay 7. Man On Fire ~ Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros 8. Sky Blue Sky ~ Wilco 9. Island In the Sun ~ Weezer 10. Thinking About You ~ Radiohead Great stuff. Fantastic music. I love it.
  21. Pfft well duh. I was watching the rerun of the VMAs around 11:30.
  22. Bummer. Give another listen or two, maybe it'll catch, maybe not. I've grown to really like it. Awesome I'm glad you like it, I thought you might.
  23. I mean, I was watching it for two reasons: 1. JT (which was awesome) 2. I thought Daft Punk would do something other than showing up and staring listlessly at the the camera while presenting an award.
