The Scrabbled: Making Fun of Each Other since '99

Sorry but the last compilation post was a disaster. Things just didn’t work out. I had a very challenging weekend: some drinking, plenty of heartbreak, long graduate classes, a Sunday of test grading.

That being said, Hutch’s Halloween Mix is fucking perfect and makes for a great replacement.

And without further ado, the theme for Scrabbled Comp #7:
Artists or song titles with some form of the number 7. That can include “septa,” “VII”, etc. Be creative.

7 is my favorite number, so that’s why I’m focusing so much on it. My opening track is TBA.

Solid, everybody, 21 tracks solid. I left for Salem immediately after work Friday afternoon, so this one was compiled a little last minute. You’ll notice there are quite a few tracks missing in the folder. Please feel free to help where you can. You can drop it in your folder, my folder, or the comp’s folder, just let me know. Thanks in advance.

Scrabbled Comp #4: Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Banana Phone?

So the top track, in my opinion, is the Vince Guaraldi Trio song “Great Pumpkin Waltz”. Gosia managed to match the theme and the season. A nod to Jeff for the classic POTUSA jam “Peaches” and Evan’s clever submission. Note I took it upon myself to put all three parts of “King Of Carrot Flowers”; I don’t think anyone has a problem with that (thanks Heidi). I’m curious about the Muscles track, Julia, it has an interesting title. Hutch’s spelling issues have confused me.

Please note that this post is titled the exact same as the last compilation post. I didn’t like that I had all this information about the currently-built playlist, but then had a difference title for the post. So from here on out, I’m going to use the title of the past week’s already-made album.

Scrabbled Comp #3: Are You Having Fun?

So we had some returning artists this week, which is fun. David Bowie and R.E.M. are back. I really enjoyed the Buzzcocks song (never heard it). My top pick is “Do You Wanna Dance?” Mainly because it’s a great question to ask, but also because Sammy had some options for artists, and he went Ramones.

I’m still finding a few songs. Great turnout, though. I closed up with something a little weird, since my number one choice was mentioned by Travis (and technically Christina); I blame Hutch for reminding me about video game music.

Scrabbled Comp #2: Outta This World

Best submission, in my opinion, is Mandy’s “Laika” for mere reference power. I haven’t even heard the song yet. I wish I thought of it first for Arcade Fire’s “Neighborhood #2 (Laika)”.

I am going to start a weekly Monday night ritual. Every week I am going to come up with a mixtape concept and you, the Scrabbled community, will assist in its creation.

Then I’ll make it a playlist on my iTunes to be entertained by, thank you.
