This is good stuff!

(…Thanks y’all (Live). Futurebirds & Carl Broemel, if the link to Apple Music doesn’t work)

Need to check this out. Carl Broemel is one of my favorite musicians. Crazy talented.

Pink Floyd is boooring Definitely agree if you're talking about the post Waters output. David Glimour is a great guitar player & pretty good singer but a lousy songwriter. I've found it good to step away once in awhile & come back to the classic Floyd records. The Wall is good once a year. Animals ...

I don't know if there's a way to truly comprehend the magnitude of Ohtani's contract, but let's give it a try. ICYMI, the contract is for $700 Million over 10 years, or $70 Million/year. So that's One Million Three Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars (and some change) EVERY WEEK for 10 years, or 520 wee...

One episode so far & I’m in. I’ll watch just about anything with Emma Stone and love Fielder’s cringe-inducing existence tui5vl13Gqg https://www.theringer.com/tv/2023/11/13/23959489/the-curse-showtime-review-nathan-fielder-emma-stone-hgtv Watching episode 3, just struck me that Barkhad Abdi, the “I...

ha. I very recently turned 55.

Happy birthday!

Taking it up one more notch, after a six-year hiatus, Pollard also released a...

I was thinking that it would be cool if DBT got a few opening dates. It would be a good match.

As a Longhorn, I'm happy with the (deserved) inclusion of Texas. I can't argue that the best four teams are in, but I do think the committee screwed up. 1) Not including FSU. Undefeated with a similar resume as the rest of the field. Come on. Have the stones to leave out the SEC. I get that they ar...

Not sure if this goes here or in the politics thread, lol, but "the committee" sure has a lot of work to do and not much time to do it. Random thought from a distant observer: In the be careful what you wish for department, if TX gets in and neither GA nor AL does, Texas's welcome to the SEC next y...

A beautiful headline. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/henry-kissinger-war-criminal-dead-1234804748/ Indeed. But also stunning in comparison to pretty much every other headline ever written in the MSM. This one ought to break through the "noise." Fuck that motherfucker. I hope th...

4 Stones Tix in Houston secured. AARP code is Flash321 if you need it. Prices are high, but not totally insane. I was on the fence for this tour but in the end said fuck all, it's the Rolling Stones. I wasn't going to travel for this tour but they're playing Seattle so I have to go. There goes the ...

The Rolling Stones May 15. Got decent seats via AARP haha.

Would like to hit one of these but likely that I won't be camped out for the presale. Maybe Santa Clara.

Lumen Field has great sound for a stadium. I'm going to try for Lucky Dip tickets.

No joke, tour is sponsored (in part) by AARP

At least it's not a nursing home chain!

Excellent read. Can't wait to see the movie when it gets to streaming platforms.

Mike Pence should be forced to carry his failed presidential bid to term, as God intended it.

I'm thinking "stillborn."

abortion?

Still reeling from the Phillies failure to win games 6 and 7 (which I attended) at home and losing the NLCS to the DBacks. Oh the joys of being a lifelong Philly sports fan. If it makes you feel better, the Brewers have never made the World Series in my lifetime and didn't make the playoffs until I...

It's Dame Time in Milwaukee. Celts better look out. Is Dame minus Holiday a bigger net gain than Porzingis + Holiday minus Marcus Smart, Brogdon & Robert Williams III? Yes :) (long time Dame fan. I get Portland games here so I've seen him a lot.) Don't trust the Celts coach. Think he's in over his ...

This is really excellent (The Kills). Love Allison's voice!

The Hives in a few weeks hopefully & The Kills in February.

Bow down to Washington! They had a hiccup this week but came out with a win. It was a trap game after the come down from beating Oregon. I feel pretty good about UW making the playoff & Penix winning the Heisman.

Wilco tonight. Am pretty beat up right now but will make the effort. Good looking set list Ya, I ended up not being able to make it due to some health stuff. Gave the tickets to some friends & they enjoyed it. I'm having a week long test starting Wednesday for a spinal implant. Very minor surgery. ...

Hmmmmm. Some of this is good but overall meh. Definitely not the second coming of the Messiah. Main complaint: the production sounds way too modern for a bunch of 80 year olds. Also, Mick's lyrics are on the juvenile side again for the most part. I'm glad they put out something but I don't see mysel...

Third time through Cousins and it’s starting to show it’s layers. I think the record could benefit from a more animated Tweedy, but he is what he is these days. I've listened to it twice now. I think this is one that is going to be one that rewards with each listen. Should be interesting live, too....

I’ve been listening through a lot of the later Wilco albums as we lead up to tomorrow’s release of “Cousin”. A lot of underrated material in these records, especially on Wilco (The Album) and The Whole Love. Schmilco gets too understated, and Ode to Joy remains a complete slog. I've been a Wilco fa...
