The other song to share was released today by U2, simultaneously with "Picture of You". I hadn't listened to it until I went to add the former to my Spotify playlists and saw this song. Same recording sessions from 2004 (originally). This song is called "Country Mile"...
And finally, U2 is issuing a "shadow album" that is primarily a series of unreleased tracks from the 2004 "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" sessions. The new album is entitled "How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb". HDAB has been remixed and will be released with the "shadow album".
The "new"...
At 7:00 AM EDT this morning, The Cure released its first single in 19 years. It's the lead single from their upcoming new LP "Songs of a Lost World". This is the album cut, "Alone".

Three new songs that debuted today that I heard on my favorite radio station/streaming site. The first is a bonus track off of Johnny Marr's "Spirit Power: The Best of Johnny Marr". It's called "The Answer" (too bad a Smiths reunion remains the most unlikely band reunion, now that Oasis has...
That 5-1 score line flattered us. 1-1 at the half, scored early in the second, but the Hammers kept coming and only a couple of nice stops by Caoimhín Kelleher kept the score line 2-1. When Mo scored with about 15 minutes left, we finally had a chance to breathe. And really made up for Cody, who...

Three weeks in and the unbeaten teams are the Bills, Steelers (!) and Chiefs in the AFC and Vikings and Seahawks (!) in the NFC.
Steelers are 3-0 with Justin Fields as their starter. And Sam freaking Darnold has led the Vikes to their record. 🤷
On the down side, the Bengals are 0-3 and the...
Loved that Liverpool put aside the disappointing outing vs Forest (and the injury to Allison) to best Bournemouth 3-0 Saturday. It was a taut affair until the colossal gaffe by Kepa gifting LFC it's first goal. Two minutes later Diaz made it 2-0, then Darwin did what Darwin does: cut in from the...
Today's results
Manchester City 2 -1 Watford
Walsall 0-0 Leicester City
Leicester City wins on penalties 0-3
Chelsea 5-0 Barrow
Wycombe Wanderers 1-2 Aston Villa
Can I say how delighted I was to see one of my favorite non-LFC players, Emi Buendia, score his first goal since his return from that awful knee injury. And on a header, no less. 👏👏👏👏👏

When Jordan Pefok played for them I did a deep dive on their history. Their name is a derivation of an older Swiss club known as Old Boys. Weird choice to name their team (and their strip is similar, too) but they've been around awhile .
Another member of the Jackson 5 has passed on as Tito Jackson passed away yesterday. He was 70.

No, the heat isn't going to Slot but to the players. As it should. New system with essentially the same squad that finished third last season was always going to be a challenge. I thought the subs were fine and he's done his best to adjust our play to play up strengths and minimize weaknesses...
Liverpool were decidedly crap vs Forest. At least I'll credit Slot for saying what we're all thinking: we should not be losing to a team like that.
Also part of the conversation: Anfield is losing its famed atmosphere. Used to be an intimidating place to play. Often anymore, that's not the...
