After 9 months, we’re back with the 2nd edition of the New Order + Joy Division Live Set List Fantasy Draft with mostly new players! Let me backtrack a bit …
If you’ve ever seen posts on social media that start off with one openly wondering what others would like their favorite bands to include in their live set lists, and then noticed these posts often went nowhere, join the club.
These did trigger an idea with us, though … and bear with us … what if they did go somewhere?
Which brings us to the New Order + Joy Division Live Set List Fantasy Draft! We came up with a “fiendishly clever” system which allows 7 players to select songs in a wrap-around snake style (just like in online fantasy sports games), in order for all to create imaginary New Order + Joy Division live set lists. Each set list is comprised of 20 songs: a) 15-16 New Order songs; and b) 4-5 Joy Division songs.
The process involves having an online draft night where we all come together to select our songs, share stories, and all in all have a blast in the company of other super fans. Then, we each go off and craft our set lists to be shared with the rest of the group. Next, we all take time to listen to these set lists and rank them from most to least amazing because let’s face it, they’re all great. Finally, a winner is crowned and earns our undying admiration.
Each set list’s details will be added the day after it airs in full. But once the set’s audio player is posted on the participant’s day, the set list can be enjoyed at any time.
