    It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

    Me yesterday: Sarr scored! He’s in my fantasy team! Also me: Didn’t confirm substitutions so Sarr stayed on the bench and started injured Mitrovic instead. (Let the record show that my fantasy team has potential. We just need a new manager!)

    Everything Video Games!

    I was finally able to put it down this week after 3 straight months of heavy playing. Withdrawals for sure, but I’m gearing up for a second playthrough this winter. Trying to keep busy by checking some lighter fare from my local library, like Mario Strikers Battle Football (which I ended up...

    It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

    I’ve been watching the Telemundo broadcast on Peacock so I can easily just watch the match replays in the morning once I’m up. It takes a bit of effort to avoid spoilers but it works well for the most part.

    I’m still finding it hard to focus on other soccer while the Women’s WC is still going on. Lauren Hemp was an absolute boss today, and that Sam Kerr strike was a beauty.

    Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

    Most of my 1300 records are not in alphabetical order (I only use alphabetical with my jazz albums). Every time I move things around, I have to take the time (think hours) to memorize where everything is. I call it “spending time with my records.” I have a separate cube for my ECM albums. I...

    Your Fave is Problematic

    That is literally what I was coming here to post. I just don’t know what those words are supposed to mean and no, that article doesn’t break it down. At least not enough for my tiny brain to understand.

    Picked my team this morning but I’m clearly rusty… forgot to assign my captain and ended up with Alvarez instead of Haaland 😐

    Neil Young

    That’s a great point. I have a pristine OG copy of Freedom and… it doesn’t sound that good. I feel like DDD records have a weirdly cold, metallic sound.

    Pre-Order Thread

    Finally! That’s the only one I’m missing on vinyl (unless we’re counting Paris).

    Everything Video Games!

    I’m almost 300 hours in and still going, currently trying to locate all 58 wells. The biggest question for me now is whether I’ll want to start a new playthrough right away (in which I’d likely impose some sort of challenge upon myself, such as “no fast travel” or “no pouch expansion”), or...

    Neil Young

    I already have Freedom and Ragged Glory… I do want the expanded/remastered Ragged Glory and also Weld, but not Arc or another Freedom. I suspect that the two I want will be pricey (2LP and 3LP) but I’ll probably still save a few bucks by waiting for the individual releases. Or I’ll get the...

    Wilco (The Thread)

    I’ll be in Phoenix in October and realized that Wilco is playing there during my trip. Ticket obtained! It’ll be the second time this year when my vacation intersects with Wilco’s touring schedule (last time was Chicago in March).

    Fresh Grabs

    I haven’t posted here in almost 2 months, so it’s time. First, the SOV haul (except the Hutcherson came from Bezos): As for used grabs, I finally pulled the trigger on a B&S holy grail (the Books 7-inch). The Bobbie Gentry was only $2 and plays great. Dr. John is an early 70s pressing, and...

    Happy with Brazil’s easy win over Panama, but that was hardly a test (all 4 goals came from crosses that should be relatively easy for a top team to defend). France will be much tougher.

    Not gonna lie, I’d love the chance to play against a pro side with my Sunday league team. I don’t think we’d concede fewer than 27, though!
