Funny thing, as I've gotten older I've started posting more modern stuff.

No less than four albums coming out this year I'm excited for.

Maybe someday I’ll catch up.

Not going to lie, it's pretty fun being excited for new music.

Ticked off Fantano didn't review the Dry Cleaning debut.  His opinion carries a lot of weight and could have helped their push into this market.

Ha! My favorite composer is Haydn, and HE died in 1809!

I was always into 20's, 30's Blues. Some classical. Wagner is a fav....

From lookout landing:

 

Hooray! Novel futility!

More interesting than their perennial mundane futility.

First post to this board and I couldn’t be happier! What a game. Congratulations, John Means! He was masterful.

I'm all about the post punk these days.

Darn Zoomer bands.

 

OK, Dry Cleaning are millennials.

I think the pandemic helped.

I think I would have been ever so slightly behind the curve on the two albums that have dropped this year if it wasn't for Covid.  Both were supposed to drop in 2020.

Was it.... Foo Fighters? Had an album and BIG tour planned for their 20th anniversary. In 2020......

I hate when that happens!

It’s one of those curious stat games. It’s not a perfect game, and yet he faced only 27 batters. I think that’s happened only once before

Quote

Means was the 12th pitcher since at least 1901 to face 27 batters (the minimum) in a nine-inning no-hitter without throwing a perfect game. The last to do it was the Marlins’ Edinson Vólquez on June 3, 2017, against Arizona. Vólquez walked two batters in that game but erased both on double plays.
