I mentioned in Movie Day that the finale of the anime Your Lie in April started streaming on Thursday so I watched it. The ending was about what I expected, and the show stuck the landing. One of the best shows I've watched in year. Anyway, in honor of that, here's Kaori's first performance from the show, "Kreutzer."

Jose Mendez was a star in Cuba and in the Negro Leagues, pitching from 1906-1925.
Bob Davids was one of the founders of the Society for American Baseball Research.

Tournament, and such.
I saw a lot of stuff - mostly TV this time. I'll get there, but it's late on the night before.
So, my obsession with Colleen Green's new album I Want To Grow Up is quite strong. It's a really awesome power pop album full of songs that I relate to. I am freaking out since exactly four weeks from tonight she's going to be playing here at a skate park thing or something. We're not quite a quarter of the way through the year yet, but I'd be shocked if this falls out of my top 10. Anyway, this is "Pay Attention."

I spent a lot of my younger years hanging out at the video rental place near my house. One of the guys who worked there had a pretty vast collection of music and he turned me on to a lot of different bands that were really important in forming my tastes. Shonen Knife was one of those bands, so Let's Knife!
