Yeah just the kids in general keep me in touch with some of it, mainly because of TikTok, but I also deliberately search some of it out.  I like pop music but it has to be good, and I consider Chappell Roan to be quite good.  She's innovative and interesting and has a substantial voice.
Yeah, I don't search out any pop... I remember when I was in my 30s and I'd hear about something that was huge that I'd never heard of, and think "I should find out what that is so I know about it." Then I hit my 40s and I was more along the lines of "yeah, it's not worth the effort knowing" :57:

The little I know about Chappell Roan is that she seems to be a giant hot mess. I think I've heard one of her songs though on a Peloton ride. On that note, they did an artist series with Tate McRae, and I thought just based on the name that it might be some new country artist. Nope. Saw who was doing the ride (someone who almost exclusively plays pop) and knew immediately that I was wrong on that one lol!

It definitely seems like your 2017 mix is closer to my usual genres. I know quite a few of the artists, although the song choices from a few of them are things I'm unfamiliar with. I.e. Foo Fighters, Barns Courtney, The Struts, and Neon Trees... Maybe I'll give those tracks a listen. And... I can't believe that Alice Merton song is 8 years old already!

I don't know anything about her personal life.  Or any other artist/entertainer, really.  I mean, I can't help but hear about Taylor Swift's dating life any time I tune into a Kansas City Chiefs' game, but other than that I don't know anything about it, and wouldn't ever read/listen to any source that would discuss it.  I just have no interest in the personal lives of artists/entertainers/celebrities and would never ever put myself in the position to find out about it.

I really like The Struts, they're on several of the mixes.  I saw them open for Foo Fighters at COTA in Austin in 2019, and then the lead singer came back out and sang the iconic Queen/Bowie song "Under Pressure" along with Taylor Hawkins, it was pretty cool.

Yeah, I'd be the same. But TMZ and People show up in my wife's news feed, so I end up learning some of this stuff secondhand. 

Probably wouldn't have heard anything about Chappell Roan (I doubt it would have come up) but with a 12 yo daughter, my wife is obviously looking at some of these artists and the degree to which they are [or aren't] suitable role models for a young tween/teen... She's pro-Taylor, but definitely not so much with Roan.

Gotcha.  Well, I guess I'm glad my girl T-Swizzle passes the morality test! :)

Next can you do a thread about your fantasy football teams over the years?

If I'd ever played Fantasy Football, sure!

Alas, I never have, more's the pity.

Great song.  If I'd made a Red River Jams 1982, it might have been on it.

Thanks, 1985 was a great year for music.  I think 1986 might have even been better, lots of the songs that came to mind at first, weren't released until the following year.

That's a heckuva playlist, but I am wondering how a lot of those play into the RRR theme.

Listened to that Taylor Swift song over lunch to remember what my brain had blocked-out, no doubt in survival-protection mode. 

Utee is indeed correct, most everything except the chorus has some music in the background, and while it might not be obvious to some that she's "singing," she certainly is saying her words in a definite pattern of limited notes that correspond to the music in the background.  I would need to listen on better speakers, but there might have even been a soft pedal-tone in the chorus.

The point of which is to say, avowed Swiftie utee94 clearly planned this whole thing to make me listen to a piss-poor song, and he is a dick.
