I know historically they've done this even in the winter but selfishly I was hoping they'd stick with the late-March date as it was in 2023. It is better weather for long-distance travelling, and I've already got plans for mid-February 2024. I sure hope to make it back to Athens another time. Finge...

We’ll be there. No ambulances allowed.

Hell yeah.

I saw taper mics Friday night, any chance of getting copies? Did anyone record sat or sun?

I can confirm there were multiple tapers there Sunday night. Not sure if they've been posted anywhere. I assume Saturday was also taped.

A trio of my all-time faves

Tony the GOAT.

Brewers/Cubs will take on an added importance for the next little bit. I'm ready for the '24 season to get here.

Met a Mets fan in the merch line at Pappy + Harriets on Sunday night and he thanked me for Counsell. Whoops.

In.

What a great weekend. The Saturday show feels like one in the upper echelon of all the shows I have seen. Loved all three but that one was the best of the bunch IMO. The vibe was immaculate and the setlist was great. Especially want to shout out how much early start times rule. See y'all in Athens.

The award ones like that are great because so many people seem to just take the obvious players.

This shit rips

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...

https://circusdevilsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/squeeze-the-needle This is great. My first real dive into Circus Devils. I’m enjoying it. Also plan on listening to the new Flatland Cavalry and Mountain Goats records this weekend. Didn't realize there was new Flatland Cavalry. I'll be on that one, too.

but to the best of my admittedly weak knowledge, they do control it, right? Israel doesn't technically "occupy" Gaza but they don't need to in order to control it. The citizens of Gaza live under a blockade that is imposed by Egypt & Israel. This includes not allowing the people who live in Gaza to...

Yes. It's such a massive upgrade on the offensive end in the playoffs. Plus Middleton looks to be 100% so far this year, which he probably hasn't been since the 1st round of the '21-22 playoffs. They also added Beasley as their 5th option, who IMO is a better fit than Grayson Allen was. Crowder is i...

Thanks for sending him over. An upgrade over Marcus Smart, fo sho. In addition to a leprechaun, we now have a unicorn, too.

The Celtics traded for Wemby?

Pretty much.

Easy there, Bill Simmons.

I will love Jrue Holiday til the day I die. However, I cannot fucking *wait* to watch these next few years of Giannis and Dame play out.

Livid that Raul Mondesi did not have a 6+ WAR season with the Dodgers and I ruined my grid today because of it. Too cute but that's the fun of the game (he did have a 5.7 season).

Mandolin Orange (now Watchhouse) - "Blindfaller"

Agreed 100%. I'm super-excited for this series, though I thought the hand-wringing about the format was wrong to begin with (even as a fan of a team who was taken out in a three-game series).

Love how much he's mixing up the set lists at this Ryman residency

I hope these shows wind up available on Bandcamp because I'd love to hear them.

I'm surprised by the lack of love for Brooks Robinson. He was a fixture on those great O's teams of the 60's and early 70's and a joy to watch. RIP to one of the all-time greats. I've been on a kick of falling asleep listening to radio broadcasts of old games lately. On the '70 World Series at the ...

We binged The White Lotus straight through a few weeks ago. What a great show. Can't wait for season three.

BTB, my statement about "no one can speak rationally on the matter" mostly has to do with the immediate, knee-jerk reaction to call people anti-Semitic or islamaphobic when criticizing one side or the other. "Jews vs. Muslims" is too emotional an issue. This is "Government A vs. Government B". Anyo...

This album is firmly in my top three for 2023 at this point, along with Weathervanes and the self-titled Zach Bryan album. What an absolute banger.

There are also theories that Netanyahu had knowledge beforehand and essentially allowed the attack to happen as a gamble to strengthen his own position. Editing for clarity of that thought. It has seemingly backfired in regards to his popularity, but perhaps not in regards to what sorts of actions h...

Oversimplification of the day: Israel v. Palestine is a shit show and there may not be any good guys in this fight. Add on top of that the fact that no one can speak rationally on the matter, and I don't know how anything good comes from it It's an absolute nightmare and it's only just begun. Netan...
