Time for some (possibly premature) INDIE ROCK NOSTALGIA!
These two songs are almost too on-the-nose (sorry, Colin) as a distillation of the distinctions of the Krug and Boeckner styles.

Thanks for another great week at the helm, everybody!

Loading... Josh Donaldson was tossed out of the game for doing something.
It's five minutes to noon, and no one has put on a new cup. The weather outside is just perfect. All in all, it looks like a lazy Saturday.*
That reminds me, I finally got around to registering for the MS 150 this morning. If you're interested in helping me raise some money to continue to fund research to fight MS, my donation page is here.
*If spooky is working today, I hope he counts the number of tumblewoods that blow past.
Fernando Romero is perfect in his 2016 debut. A second good game for Nick Greenwood. A big day for Daniel Kihle.

El Tappe had a twin brother, Mel Tappe, who played in the minors.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to zooomx.2
I know a lot of people don't like this guy, but I do think he's got a pretty good voice and I try not to take him too seriously. I miss the mariachi horns on the bridge, though.

Rex Robbie Grossman gets his Twins debut tonight. Baseball-Reference says he has played in 190 games in 3 season with the Astros but to be honest, I have never heard of this guy.
Skim has already been invited to Valleyfair by a new school friend. I worried so much about them finding good friends, but I'm starting to wonder why.
Jason Wheeler and Max Kepler lead the Red Wings to victory. Trey Vavra homers in the twelfth to provide a Miracle win. A walkoff wild pitch makes the difference for the Kernels as Sam Clay continues to pitch well.
Last Wednesday, a friend of mine listened to Radiohead's newest, A Moon Shaped Pool, on the way back from mushroom hunting.
The album itself is good. It'll take a number of additional listens before I have any idea what to think of it, but my initial thought is that it's quite good - even if I still wish they'd bring the guitars back.
What it really got me thinking about, though, was how differently I approach music when I'm listening with someone else. I'm automatically more critical of what I'm listening to - not necessarily in a negative way, just in a slightly more mindful way. It's kind of fun. I wish I got to do it more often.
I've also been listening to a weirdly high number of NES soundtracks lately.
Drop your ten.
