Music

[coloradocat]

After reading this and other music threads over the years in which everyone's passionately convinced that THEIR favorite music is the best, I feel like a great fundraising strategy for MSU would be to let anyone who donates $1 million or more to facilities improvements pick the entire music playlist for a football home game. $250K and you can do it for basketball.

I think you may be on to something here. I don't think it should be that much (and yes, i know you were mostly joking) but why not have it be like you get to pick 5 songs to be played during a Bobcat game (or pick a song to replace Sweet Caroline for one game) and make it a silent auction item at the Blue and Gold Gala. I'm sure plenty of people would bid on that obvious caveat that the song has to meet some sort of family friendly metric

If I had to donate a large sum of money to pick a song to replace Sweet Caroline it wouldn't be for just one game. I'd rather replace that one forever than get to pick the entire playlist.

I'm in. How much do you think it will cost?

Maybe the team should do a 50/50 matching drive. If someone will match the 50/50 jackpot they get to either pick a replacement for SC for the remainder of the season or pick all the songs for the next game (among a pre-established list). The money goes to the IPF project. If it works they could do it every week for the weekly playlist.

The only issue I can see with this is rights to the songs. Is that what you mean by a "pre-established list?" I know you can purchase rights to play certain songs but I don't know what it costs. I'm guessing MSU has purchased some license to play the various songs they do.

Yeah, my idea is to maybe have a FB/X/IG post announcing the fundraiser with a follow up requesting songs. The gameday crew would try to get rights to the top 5-10 across genres/generations and add them to the list of songs they already have on their list. The donor would select from that list.

My original post was a joke (replacing SC) but I think this would actually be a good idea and a fun way to build fan engagement. The 50/50 matching might be too high a bar but if they did a weekly online auction for either the entire game or a quarter that would probably get people to participate. All the music would be what they have available anyway, plus the school-approved new songs, so the stakes are low from the university side. It's almost free money.

I am sure they purchase an annual music licensing fee. There are basically two licensing companies and that pretty much covers all songs.

Curious... I know they have to pay for music. Are they pre-selected by song/artist or can they just play any song they chose?

SC is and will always bee a North East MLB baseball stadium horrible song, it needs to stay in Boston.
Hops are FLOWERS, put in a bunch of them in beer and you have Hop tea...oooh mango pine needle, skunk ass IPA...Yum!
Beer has 3 main ingredients Water, Malt, yeast, hops are added to add a bit of scent and flavor, or add a lot to cover up mistakes in brewing.
Go ahead, call me out. I will school you on brewing beer if you really want to be embarrassed.
Carry on.

Fun fact, the Bavarian beer purity law recognizes three ingredients with yeast not one of them (highly implied).

Now that this thread has been derailed. For the IPA guys, why do you add hops to beer? You get aroma and the taste as a result.

Now that we're talking about beer, can we assume we have the music thing all figured out for Saturday and we'll all be delighted with the play select selection?

Where’s the whiskey? Beer is horrible.
