Nothing from nothing.
FMD: 8/8
I long for the day that my life's regular enough where I recognize a Friday before I wake up in one.
Sorry about the long-running lack of content here. Here's some:
I like some songs on the Angel Olsen album, but I don't think I like the album as a whole.
I like some songs on the Weird Al album, but I don't think I can take the album as a whole. I may go back and collect all his Polka medleys and put them on a CD for road trips.
The Sturgill Simpson album is pretty good, and it's a bummer he's not playing a free stage at the state fair like originally slated. That might have been the recipe for a good WGOM Get-Together at Great State Caucus.
What's with that new single from Grimes? It's not good as a Grimes song or as a pop song.
Late enough for your song of the summer nominations to stick.

2014 Game 113: Minnesota Twins vs. Oakland Athletics.
Looks like we've got a long series of late games in front of us, you guys. Don't forget to once again brew yourself an extra cup.
As we've recently discussed, not a whole lot of bright spots in our view these days, and I certainly don't have any sunshine to sell you. Let's just keep our heads down, finish up this series without embarrassing ourselves, and go somewhere where the smell of sewage isn't so fresh.
