Masterson vs. Correia. Free drinks all last night. I hope the sun doesn't feel too aggressive today.

Dinosaur Jr. — Start Choppin’
I think this song was played once or twice at the old basement but not this version. Fun to see a young J Mascus, plus I love the mod get-ups the band is wearing. Don’t see anyone plugging their ears so J and the crew must have the amps turned down a bit.
That’s it. Thanks for listening and watching Freealonzo’s Rock Week. Are You Not Entertained?

Game 94: Clevelanders @ Twins
The winning streak is only at three games, but it feels a lot more substantial than that. Optimism reigns supreme. I'm thinking it's not too late for the Twins to be buyers at the deadline.
Kluber vs. Correia tonight. I have a good feeling about this one.
Soundgarden — Jesus Christ Pose
One of my favorite rock songs. Ever. Back when Chris Cornell still played guitar.

I'll admit to feeling pretty good about the Twins. They're still an awful team, but winning two out of three in New York since ever helps a lot.
Redd Kross — Stay Away From Downtown
From one of the better rock albums of 2012. These guys have been banging it since the early 80’s as snot nosed punks. Thirty years hasn’t affected their ability to rock out however!

The Wedding Present — Dalliance
O.k., this one may be a little whiny which is the antithesis of rock week, but I love how it builds up at the end, basically matching the singer’s anger. So it’s angry, not whiny.

Built to Spill — Stop The Show
One of the greatest live acts out there. Believe me with three guitarists, BTS has only one setting: Rock!

Guided By Voices — Expecting Brainchild
I know everyone was expecting a week of GBV, who knows maybe next time. But of course I have to include some Guided By Voices. Sure their most beloved albums are considered lo-fi classics, but Pollard and Co. can turn up the guitars when they needed to.

Game 92: Twins 10, Yankees 4
Well, I said I wouldn't post another Sunday recap if the game had been a losing effort. I'm glad that didn't even last 1 time through the order! The Twins had 14 hits on the day and cashed in on 2 Yankees errors to score 10 runs. Aaron Hicks hit his 8th Home Run of the year, a 2-out, 3-run shot in the 3rd inning off of C.C. Sabathia who, by the way, took his first loss against the Twins....since nearly ever. He had been 11-0 in his last 12 starts against the Twins.
There's more, if you care to read on...
