Since there’s a what you’re reading thread and a what have you been watching lately, I’ve decided to start a thread focusing on music you’re currently listening to. Of course, if there’s a thread that exists on this that I don’t know about, a mod can merge them together. Anyways, I am listening to Berlin by Lou Reed for the very first time, and so far, I’m enjoying the album.

I have a great idea for a dead pool. I'm not sure on the final details yet, but I know it's going to be based around people 50 and under. Rules that I know so far: Must have a qualifiable obit; basically same obit rules as the DDP. 20 names of people 50 and younger for each person (no animals such as koko the gorilla). Once a candidate turns 51, you must replace it with another name. If someone gets a hit, the hit will be permanent, and you don't have to remove that person. You cannot replace one of your candidates because someone else is dying; UNLESS the person had turned 51, at which point that candidate is no longer eligible OR if a candidate doesn't get an obit in 3 months. The first person to get all 20 hits win. Suggest anymore helpful rules please. And list your candidates now.

Think there’s a good chance that expedited his death I’m afraid

It looks like my entire team is dead and they all died before 50 so I guess I won? Unless someone else want to check their lineups Actually Marian Cisovksy never got a QO and I can’t be arsed to replace him so scratch that I was 15 years old at the time so I didn’t really thoroughly look at the rules too much. Otherwise I should’ve very clearly banned folk under 18 for this pool like everywhere else.

Linda’s death does give my 2018 team my first clean sweep of losing all members

It’s gonna be a random old person, so Bernie Ecclestone I guess

Tbh I could see Biden making the drop 40, he had enough health gaffes that I could see people picking him based on being frail during his presidency.

I’m pretty sure entries were closed when Le Pen died

Wikipedia has her down as a 2024 death Yep that article has her DOD as December 16, 2024

Decided to give this country legend a well overdue thread, especially cause I think he could potentially make a great deathlist pick next year. With so many health issues he had to deal this past year, surely he can't live much longer, can he?

It was widely reported on the forums that he was on his way out. I’m not gonna go on and claim he’s some big miss, all I’m saying is that if you missed the news that’s really on you

Would’ve been a sad death but then I remembered he was a fucking pedo, so more meh I guess?

She’s using a walker now

Diagnosed with a brain tumor, and had surgery

Thatcher themselves confirmed it was them

Yeah I think I’m with the crowd on nominating Chomsky

It’s an update

I'm actually surprised that Brian Wilson is still alive, considering his history of mental illnesses

If I’m being completely honest, I’m getting similar vibes with this list to 2023 which also seemed underwhelming at first glance. But we all know how that list ended up being

Yeah figured he was returning

Genuinely shocked they kept Sonny Rollins I thought for sure he was gonna be one of the drops off the list. But Flack and Brokaw aren’t great drops…

Who’s ready for the new list? I sure am. I have no ideas on what names are on but Death Impends has given hints to the newly created threads that Grim made, and based on her hints, I think there’s a very strong chance Derek Draper actually debuted. But we won’t know for sure until the actual list is revealed

Well this year has been a disaster huh? You know the drill, nominate your favorite Pokemon from Nebraska that the committee will promptly ignore. I think Rex Williams would be a good boomerang pick, was picked back in 1990, and he’s getting up there in age. Last time we had a big boomerang pick it was successful with George Cole, I’m just saying

Also it would be the worst performing list of the 21st century which I think counts for something

Was he on the list for 2025?
