Is there still room? I heard 3 REM songs on the way to work this morning and I'm taking it as a sign I should be in this thing.

I'm in if there's room. Was the last one the one where we had to have one from each album? I liked that twist.

Lose to philpritchard in a band song tourney once, shame on philpritchard. Lose to philpritchard in a band song tourney twice, shame on me.

OUT!

That's usually how these things go. Generally.

I'm curious to see what the more specific rules might be. Like, will there be a limit on how many songs per album you can draft? Or will there be a playlist component?

I'm thinking I might have to pull out of this - I'm only really around for a week more before I'm taking time off for wedding and honeymoon stuff

Last time people had to draft 1 song from each record plus one non album track (dead letter and chronic town did not count as albums), for a total of 16 songs. Want to do it again that way? It added ( I thought) an interesting level of drafting strategy

I'm afraid my depth of REM knowledge is too shallow for this pool.
