Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I was thinking of 19 and 22 more like DX, but by combining the two, we could bring in one of the other great categories (like, say, great song/mediocre band).
Also, as much as I like them, I'd be glad to cut Lost In the Grooves and Cowbell for others if they're going to be too nebulous or difficult.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My concern for the cowbell selection is a selfish one as the very last person picking songs. I assume we are not supposed to repeat anything someone else has chosen, and by the time we get that far, I can't help but wonder if there will be any cowbell songs left that I actually like.
I also feel a little odd "choosing" something for Lost in the Grooves when the (sometimes a teensy bit persnickity) editor is also involved, but that could just be me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
(like, say, great song/mediocre band)
We did a "I hate the artist, but I love the song" category in the last mixathon.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
For the cowbell thing, I think it would be more that I'd have to stretch really hard to *find* a song in my collection that had a cowbell, as opposed to something I'd really like to share.

Perkins echoes my concerns about the "Lost in the Grooves" category. Not that it's not a great category, but it's a little like being a standup comedian trying to perform his first routine for the very first time...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is is cheating if you use this enormous list of songs with cowbell? [link]

IMO, your mix is your mix and I think repeats are fine.

Actually, Jesse's link would be a big help, so I take the cowbell part of my comments back.

Jesse, get out of my mind! I was just coming to post that.
