No better way to go out than one of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite bands.

Deer Tick – Bastards of Young
Great song. Deer tick captures it.
Friday Music Day – Happy 30th Birthday Bee Thousand
Guided By Voices Bee Thousand is 30 years old today! I wrote about a long time ago at the WGOM and you can access that here.
Classic Album Review: Guided By Voices — Bee Thousand (1994)
Anyway, I'm still a GBV geek all thanks to this album. So a question for the group, is there a single album, song, concert, etc., that you can look back on and say, "yup, that was the moment I became a fan of this band.
Lena Lovich – I think we’re alone now
Cool weird version of this classic.
Luna – Sweet Child O’ Mine
I love this version of Sweet Child. I think it captures the sentiment of the lyrics much better than the GnR version.
Devo – Satisfaction
This blew people’s minds when it came out and either you loved it or hated it. Everyone talked about this SNL performance in school the next week.
2024 Game Log 73 – Rays at Twins
Tampa Bay Rays come into town and for once are just kind of scuffling along at 4 games under .500. With Yankees and Orioles having monster seasons and the rest of that division pretty competitive, probably no playoffs in sight. Will be interesting to see what the Rays do at the trade deadline (#evergreen). Twins on one of their upswings but this one finally has helped them make inroads within the division as they are only 0.5 game behind the Royals and 5.5 behind Guardians.
Aaron Civale for the Rays, and while a one strike out per inning guy, he's been fairly mediocre this year. Basically he's been a 5-inning, 6-hit guy all season and the Rays have lost the last five games he has started. Pablo Lopez for the Twins and I think mid-June is a good time to start that typical second hand Pablo Lopez surge.
As of 8:15 this morning, not sure if this game gets in as the forecast is for thunderstorms starting right around 5:00p.
Schedule first pitch at 6:40
Tricky – Black Steel
Pixies – Head On
I love the manic energy of this video. Definitely stripped down from the Jesus and Mary Chain version
2024 Game Lot 67 – Rockies at Twins
Twins back on their upswing in a up and down season. Hosting the 20 games under .500 Colorado Rockies certainly helps. Cal Quintrill pitching for the Rox and after a pretty good 2022 season for the Guardians, looks like he's at the journeyman stage of his career. Hopefully Twins batters can feast.
Louie Varland back up for the Twins to give the starters a break in A 13-game streak. Varland didn't really do much in St. Paul to convince anyone he's figured it out, but who knows, maybe the deli spread in a MLB clubhouse will be all the motivation he needs.
Looks like the weather should clear by this evening so should be a nice game for baseball.
6:40 first pitch.
