Yes it is.

And we left about 7-8 on the table.

It’s been good.

Can’t imagine what it’s like to live in Buffalo or Minnesota.

Luckily I don’t have to.
😂

@RVLara23 @fc We did out time.
86 years in baseball.
40 years in football.

We were laughing stocks for a combined 126 years in two sports.

Not sure spoiled is the right word.

Maybe the 20-30 year olds are.
The rest of us served our sentence. 😂

A man enters a movie producer’s office to pitch a new film idea.

“A satisfied New Englander gets involved in a…”

“It’ll never work. Leave my office.”

The film never gets made and the man returns to his job at Dave And Busters, script in tow.

The end.

@RVLara23 @fc A New Englander?
SATISFIED?!?!?!
Have you ever met any of us before?

That’s a hilarious concept.

@madvinyl 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love Michael Hedges!
I have Aeriel Boundaries, and it’s still one of my favorite late night records.

@RVLara23 @fc in the 90s, we expected this dogshit.

We’re champions several times over now.
It’s different.

Each and every one of these stiffs should be sent to Taiwan.
We need players who care and give a shit.
Cuz these ones clearly don’t.
It’s pathetic.

DEAR BOSTON RED SOX,

As you know, we are in the black hole of sports.
There is nothing happening in athletics at the moment making me happy.

Without NFL football, I am a child wandering in the wilderness. A man with no country.

I also cannot pretend to like soccer (the “other” football) 💩, & usually, baseball is all I have this time of year.

However, thanks to your overall suckitude & shittiness this year, I can’t even have that.
You have been so inept, so painful to watch, that youve driven me to pretend that I give a shit about a Brazil/Norway soccer game.

Think about that.

THATS how shitty you’ve been.
You’ve been so BAD, that you’ve driven me to watch a game on television that rivals watching paint dry.
Competitive accounting is more exciting.

So please, I beg you, just beat the Angels tonight.
Make me feel good, and give me something to watch that won’t make me kill myself.
Sincerely,
Go Fuck Yourself.
🦧 🤮 ⚽️

1985 U.S. pressing

A super-cool #80s compilation of bands from and around North Carolina.

It caught my eye because one of my ALL TIME favorite bands is on it in The Connells!

Some other notable bands on here as well, some who would go on to have pretty good runs in music.

Southern Culture On The Skids, Don Dixon, Fetchin’ Bones, and The Pressure Boys to name just a few.

A nice time capsule of a fruitful regional alternative scene. Some great songs here.

@icastico oh totally! The Nomads were dope!

1986 U.S. pressing

Killer #psychedelic #80s #garage rock!

I bought this completely blind on a whim from a used bin in Whistler, B.C. a few years back.
It stuck out like a sore thumb amongst all the usual suspect used records that you see everywhere, regardless of where you are in the world.

On the Pitch-A-Tent label out of Athens, Ga., the band was L.A. based, and this record is SUPER fun. It’s humorous, really energetic, and sounds like a trippy, harder edged #surf record.

Love it when blind gambles pay off.

@donutage Every year, people still gather where the parking lot was and have a memorial for all those people that died.
That event changed Warwick forever.

@donutage ugh.
Such a gross thing.
Glad you have a GOOD memory from that place.

It’s like the area I’m from.
When people hear “The Station” all you can think of is the fire Great White started.

Just awful.

@milesizdead it’s not for everybody man.
If it doesn’t click with ya, it doesn’t click.

2020 U.S. 3xCD reissue

There aren’t many albums that I would rather own and listen to on CD than on vinyl, but this is absolutely one of them.

A sprawling indie rock masterpiece that I revisit a few times a year, and still feels as magical as I did when I first bought it in 1999.

Six 10” records is an incredibly inconvenient way to listen to this masterpiece. I did it once, and to be honest, the records didn’t sound good enough to warrant that kind of inconvenience.
Much in the same way as Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins, another album I’m more than happy to stick to CDs with.

This is one of the defining albums of the late 1990s; an awesome range of styles, and beautiful songcraft.
