It's the top of the ninth as I type this, but congratulations to the Twins for tying the most consecutive playoff losses in all of professional sports (The MLB record is already well wrapped-up)! Guessing I'm not going to have to go back and edit this...

October 4, 2019: Digg It?
Stefon Diggs definitely appears to have asked to be traded. Sounds like the season is going great so far!
The Muffs – Oh Nina
Kim Shattuck passed away after a long battle with ALS. Besides fronting The Muffs, she's played in several bands as well as a brief stint as bassist for The Pixies (those morose motherfuckers thought she was enjoying herself too much).
This one sucks for me. I saw The Muffs open for Veruca Salt way back in the day and instantly fell in love with them. I know I've said this several times, but I got to hang out with these guys once when I was a very young and stupid kid. They couldn't have been cooler and nicer. Thanks, Kim.
Please ignore this very strange and NSFW opening "skit" as well as all the weird camera wipes.

October 2, 2019: Pbhnet 9
Word on the street is that Planet 9 could really be a primordial black hole, or PBH (which I just learned about). It's unlikely, but technically possible. Those things seem really weird.
Jay Som – Anak Ko
Liked her last one, and just gave my first listen to the new one. I dig it. Has a bit of a recent Mitski production vibe (not this so much this song though).
