Iron Heart Forum Music League

[mclaincausey]

This is not only going to be fun, I think the next round will be even more fun, because I want us to have a poll for theme suggestions from the group. In the interest of getting things off the ground, I chose from their standard themes, but I think it will be cool to have the hive mind dump out its psychoses into the next round of themes

[mclaincausey]

Also: I think there are 3 spots left if anyone else cares to join.

@mclaincausey me too

Everyone get ready for The Smiths, The Smiths and The Smiths

[Steve]

@Alex now I cant ever choose The Smiths or you're know it me!

But submitted now, and not one Smiths songs in sight!

[goosehd]

Here you go @Steve

[mclaincausey]

Haha @Alex last night "Big Mouth Strikes Again" came on at a restaurant and made me very happy.

[Alex]

I like the smiths as much as the next man, but it was all steve put on for about a year of working for us

[Steve]

yeah, sorry about that @Alex

[goosehd]

In a period of the 80’s that’s about all you heard on the radio. The Church, Cure, Smiths, Devo, New Order…

[Matt]

I fail to see the problem.

I fail

[Nik]

This looks fun I'm not on Spotify but enjoy folks

[mclaincausey]

Yeah @Nik that was an issue for me on the first league I did but I ultimately relented and got a free account. I have to do my “research” elsewhere and then find the songs in Spotify and grab the links there but you can participate without paying anything but privacy.

[goosehd]

@Nik I went with the free account also...

[Matt]

I love Spotify. We have the family account and it’s paid for ten times over every month. Admittedly I turn a blind eye to their questionable business practices but what are you gonna do?

[SKT]

^ this is where we ended up. Family account too practical to quit.

[Matt]

Yeah. The girls listen to podcasts non stop and they don’t need a data plan on their phones to use it. Still holding out on that.

[mclaincausey]

Similarly, I have a family bundle for Apple so use Apple Music... Which I have found I actually love. We have a couple of Atmos-capable speakers, so the Spatial Audio is cool on those, and the high fi is appreciated wherever we are listening. They also have a cool lyric feature that they have exclusively for a few years.

I'm sure Spotify is great as well but I am surprised by how much I enjoy Apple, even if it slightly complicates participating in this game.

When each round completes, I will update here and include a link to the playlist so that non-participants can enjoy the fun. I expect some really great playlists out of this crew.
