The reason Neil Chrisley is listed is because his given name is Barbra O’Neil Chrisley. No explanation for this name could be found, but it seems reasonable to assume that he’s the only man to play major league baseball whose given first name was Barbra. So far.
Jeff Granger was drafted by Minnesota in the fourteenth round in 1990, but did not sign.

I love Vincent Peirani’s playing, but Ballaké Sissoko’s work on kora rounds this quarter with Vincent Ségal & Émile Parisien into something truly special.
I do want to commend to your attention Brad Mehldau’s 2023 album Your Mother Should Know. I can’t link a live Mehldau performance here because of the fun police, but listen to his version of “Golden Slumbers, “one of the most beautiful tunes in the Beatles’ catalog.

We would also like to wish a very happy birthday to spookymilk's mom.
Lots of options for best of 2023, but Mabe Fratti (and her group Titanic) were the things I found this year that I came back to over and over again that felt new and different for my musical tastes. The full KEXP performance by Fratti that this is excerpted from is pretty cool as a full show.
