The Draft Board Moves On: The Favorite Song Edition

If I had to pick a single song to listen to over and over until the end of time, it would be this one. We Are Real by the Silver Jews. I consider this little 3 minute passage to be the greatest set of pop music lyrics ever written:
Up the hill past 694, at the stone wall make a left,
and I will see you soon my friend if these old directions still direct.
Is the problem that we can't see or is it that the problem is beautiful to me?
The birds of Virginia are flying within you
and like background singers they all come in threes.Won't soul music change
now that our souls have turned strange.
Once a day, twice a day...
And when on and off collide
we'll set our souls aside and walk away.We've been raised on replicas of fake and winding roads
and day after day up on this beautiful stage
we've been playing tambourine for minimum wage
but we are real, I know we are real.Repair is the dream of the broken thing.
Like a message broadcast on an overpass
all my favorite singers couldn't sing.
My ski vest has buttons like convenience store mirrors
and they help me see, that everything in this room right now is a part of me.
"All my favorite singers couldn't sing" would be my motto in life if it weren't already written. This band should not be broken up. If you do not own American Water, you should. Best album of the 90s. Bar none.
Before we get to today's Community Draft Board list, let's take a stroll through some of the most entertaining and spot-on things I've read in the past few days: DeMarcus Cousins' tweets.
- Bynum doesn't deserve to touch the trophy!
- Mbenga ...MVP MVP MVP MVP!
- WTF ron artest is pure #comedy ... Lmfao ...
- Candace woulda made that mr.Parker! Lmao (after a Sheldon Williams missed dunk)
- Best big in the league! Pau!
- Kobe has the worst barber on the planet!
Please draft the guy.
There's plenty more. Kevin Love, you're on notice. Boogie Cousins will out-tweet you to the end.
Here's where we stand on the community draft board:
- John Wall (54%)
- Evan Turner (81%)
- Derrick Favors (50.8%)
- DeMarcus Cousins (64.3%)

Cousins will tear down the tweeting wall!
Free Kevin Love!
"Sarchasm": (var. sarcasm) The gap in understanding which occurs when one attempts to be self-deprecating on behalf of others.
Wow, Cousins made some jokes on Twitter
if that’s the criteria for drafting a player, I say forget DeMarcus Cousins and just draft Ashton Kutcher or Bill Simmons instead.
Actively looking for red flags since my 5th grade traveling team
Love it
I am not a fan of Twitter but those tweets reveal DMC to have an engaged intelligence and possibly a high bb iq. At least that’s what I perceive. Cousins and Turner are now tied atop my secret-only-published-in-my-head draft board. Somebody alert the AP!

Basically he has a big dash of Sir Charles in him, that way.

Hope someone is not ghost tweeting his tweets

Yeah I've been enjoying watching Cousins'
Twitter activity in the last couple weeks. Daniel Orton also had some interesting stuff to say to him. Sent Cousins a video of a guy bobbing his head on the plane in the seat next to him. Also got an old guy picking his nose in the same shot.
Buckeyes are red, Wildcats are blue,
I wanted Evan Turner, But DeMarcus Cousins will do.
Apparently Orton didn't burn bridges with his combine interview thing, then.
These are all just kids. Young kids.

no...
…i think it was a bit between the two. there’s also some ragging going on about their call of duty skills in there.

Today's kids and the violent video games. Stay clear of these hooligans, Kahn!

Don't really have an appropriate place for this
and I’m not sure it deserves its own post, but apparently Olympiakos is trying to get Childress back to the NBA now that their tax laws are changing.
He’s up for grabs! And his asking price just went down, I’d bet.

I'd love to nab him
Huge upgrade on the wings and a lanky athletic type that can get up and down the floor.

Very good, it’s below Natural Bridge, Arizona Record and probably Starlite Walker for me. If you haven’t read about his attempt to die in the Al Gore suite at whatever fancy Nashville hotel Gore lived in between the 2000 election and the Supreme Court decision, try and find the story sometime.
Between being busy, the World Cup and being sick of talking about whether Al Jefferson should be traded or not, I haven’t been around much. Are we good yet?
He went to die..
…“where the presidency did”. I remember that article. And no, we’re not good yet.

I think you have been hiding
because last year around this time, you made some pretty hefty promises about your actions should we acquire a certain Spanish point guard and you are hoping nobody remembers :)

Yeah...
….I saw your post on him today

Good stuff. He also was fined $25k for missing exhibition games for helping negotiate a peace treaty between warring factions from Sudan in DC. Fantastic man. Absolutely fantastic.

Those Lyrics
Really awful. Not to say the Silver Jews were a bad band, but those lyrics are wretched. I’d really love to have some of the drugs you must be high on.
