Their new album isn't so hot, but this song is pretty good.
"J Boy" stands for "just because of you", btw. I can't believe I didn't pick up on that right away.

Loading... Stephen Gonsalves pitches very well again. A big home run by Caleb Hamilton. Walks again sink the E-Twins. Tyler Benninghoff makes his professional debut. Junior Navas remains unscored upon.
A big day for Nick Gordon. Mitchell Kranson delivers the big hit in a Miracle win. Royce Lewis gets two more hits. Walks are key in an E-Twins win and a GCL Twins loss. Michael Montero pitches well.
Forty years ago today, Elvis left the building for good. Seems like the rampant conspiracy theories about his whereabouts have mostly fallen out of popular circulation. My Memphis friends tell me he's still larger than life downriver.
I've felt ambivalent about Elvis' music most of my life, though in recent years I've come to appreciate his gospel recordings. The early stuff is hit-and-miss; the closer to country, the more I like it, the closer to rock & roll, the more I'd rather listen to Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. I can't abide the movie soundtrack stuff, but find the over-the-top Seventies productions with the TCB Band and J.D. Sumner & the Stamps to be pretty listenable in small-ish doses:

Nibbish week continues!
Everyone knows that the best Mogwai and are the ones where they use the creepy, ghostly vocoder (this song, "George Square Thatcher Death Party", "The Lord is Out of Control", etc)

Heading uphill in this roller coaster of a season, are the Twins still climbing or headed back down to another gully? First place Cleveland in town and Big Sexy on the mound. Should be fun.

Yesterday I wrote a CoC about how the 14th is the birthday of the girl who broke my heart in 1999. Somehow, I guess I never scheduled that CoC. But I'm still thinking about it and still wishing I could get that damned date out of my head. And yes, I hear the paradox in that statement.
I got this LP from Goodwill a couple of weeks ago, and I really, really enjoy this song. It's kind of cheesy, kind of jazzy, and very chill. Good summer song.
