Solo gigs...they make so much sense, so why do I repeatedly buy two tickets to shows and then try to drag a half-interested friend along? Anyway, this seems as good as anywhere: what do you all use for ear protection for shows. I have a pair of eargasm plugs that I've used for the last few...

Oh, of course. I've killed far too many brain cells since then. If you wear number 7 for united and have an unfortunate haircut you'll blend together in my brain. The MLS question... I think at this point it has to be a vanity play. Granted Ronaldo or Messi would be on a different level...

You’ve blown my mind! If you had asked me I’d Beckham and Ronaldo had overlapped at United, I would have lost they bet.

To Miami? The connection is Beckham. With Saudi or Qatar it’s the willingness to throw a ton of money (at least historically) at aging stars. There’re only a couple of mls teams that are still willing to do that. Also I can’t imagine CRonaldo agreeing to live anywhere other than Miami or LA.

My money is on taking Higuaín’s spot in Miami or just staying in the Middle East when the World Cup ends.

To be fair, yankee stadium is just as bad. Garber knew what he was getting into when he tore up the new franchise prerequisites and took that sweet sweet oil money. A decade later and maybe there is a stadium somewhere on the horizon?

I've got to stop waiting so long to post these. BUT, here's my update. I was aiming for 24 books this year, and I got that taken care of in September. A flooded basement/tv room, and being housebound post hip surgery with the assist. Anyway, I'll try to be brief: #17: The Monkey Wrench Gang by...

I wonder if I could pull this sweatshirt off without giving my daughters a complex?

Jeez. This guy has a chance to be the face of the game for a decade, and he can't help but become the whiniest baby in the entire sport - a truly impressive feat. Just collect your massive paycheck, score your goals, and stop whining. Maybe get a new PR person while you're at it.

A couple from the last few weeks that I didn't see mentioned here. Lee Baggett - Anyway. Kind of a sun-baked freak folk (kinda) rocking americana album. Milan McAlevey - Islands of Milans. Maine based singer/songwriter formerly 1/2 of Coke Weed. Breezy and folky. Walter Martin (formerly)...

Man, I’m so jealous. Have an incredible time.

She was incredible. It takes a real talent to give me goose bumps and full on teary eyes while watching alone on an ipad… just the way music is supposed to be enjoyed? Apparently the ticket I bought gives 7 day access to the archived live stream. I’d be shocked if oh boy didn’t do something...

Has anyone else been watching the John Prine birthday extravaganza? Last night from the Ryman was a veritable who’s who of country/Americana musicians. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/various-artists/2022/ryman-auditorium-nashville-tn-4bb12322.html Based upon the Saturday night show, which...

On Black Ribbons, the DJ (Steven King!?) is named Will O' the Wisp and Leon Russell has a record was titled Will O' the Wisp? Sidenote: this album was nowhere near my radar, and it's cool as hell. Thanks for the introduction.

As a neutral, this isn’t exactly what I was hoping for this morning. .

Puffer jacket = puff daddy! How’re we ever going to solve this thing without @avecigrec?

Just chiming in to say that this is amazing and exemplifies why N&G is the best place out there. I was intentionally not in the running, but I'm really excited to follow along with the picks.

Former Walkmen Peter Matthew Bauer has a new one out today. His solo stuff seems to fly below the radar a bit more than the other Walkmen guys, but it's always reliable. (I wonder if they get sick of being called former Walkmen?) https://petermatthewbauer.bandcamp.com/

Angel Olsen has a new version of Big Time out with special guest Sturgill Simpson. Hopefully this means his vocal cords are healing.

Apparently he regained his pulse and was stabilized by the time he left the facility. https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/10/la-liga-goalkeeper-throws-defibrillator-into-stands-after-fan-collapses-17347528/ Then Barca came back out and put goals in at 86’ and 90+2’. Kinda ruthless. Anyway, the...
