If the USA were a sports team it would be the Dallas Cowboys:

-haven't won anything in ages but still strut around like the cock o' the walk

-supporters are loud and obnoxious

-loathed by many

-led by preening narcissists

Nice. A direct hit.

x2. Well done.

Letterkenny.

Oh man

This is really good. Lydia Loveless's guitar player. Hell of a songwriter himself.

I need to check that out. I remember his last one was really good. Back in the day, lol.

What was the travel itself like? Did you fly or drive? We flew last month from Philly to Anchorage, AK. The trip out we connected thru Chicago and American Airlines filled pretty much every fucking seat on both flights. They even did beverage/snack service as usual (although no alcohol :x). The air...

I started Mrs. Fletcher at the beginning of quarantine and then was distracted. I finished the series last night. Although I think that only one season was made, I found the show very enjoyable! Kathryn Hahn wants to do The Horizontal Bop with me, she just doesn't realize it yet. J3TzSNk9kPU

Just watched the first season of the new High Fidelity on Hulu and loved it. Zoe Kravitz is great and I like how they flipped the genders from the book and movie and brought the story into the digital era. There were probably 10 different parts where they were arguing over musical stuff or making li...

Traveling for professional reasons for the very first time since Homecoming. Sitting in a hotel room with nothing to do is pretty fucking boring. What was the travel itself like?

Earlier this month, my wife, daughter and I took advantage of my son's time in Alaska to visit there. We spent time in Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula (Homer and Seward) and then spent a couple of days at the fishing lodge where Mason's working for the summer. We did lots of driving, hiking, fishi...

So about 20 writers formerly with Deadspin have gotten together and formed their own site, www.defector.com. It promises to have sports and culture content and will be behind a moderately priced paywall. Goes live next month. Count me in. Here's a discussion about the site: http://inthesetimes.com/w...

You and me Cortez, keeping this old place running. Barely.

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51VyhG-egLL.jpg Yet another great record full of wisdom and truths, wailing and moans, low down greasy texas blues, and more rock and roll and gear shout-outs than you can count from my man Ray Wylie Hubbard. This time he's got different collaborator...

I still need to give the T Swift record a serious listen, which I will do soon, but yeah it sounded good while I was working in the office this morning. NP: The four released Jerry Joseph & the Stiff Boys songs which I've got on a spotify playlist. So. Fucking. Good. https://images-na.ssl-images-ama...
