And speaking of Billy, this is a newer song that I really enjoy, entitled "Gild the Lily" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBkRCd2UCLI

And the country feels in so many recent songs I enjoy has surprised me. The first to share is the country-tinged LP Ringo Starr just released called "Look Up". This song, "Breathless", features Billy Strings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIYMsmb7vL0

Former Libertines front man Pete Doherty has a new one called "Felt Better Alive" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm9ciuv_fyU

Back after a long period off (holidays, illness, end of fall semester and start of winter session, and oh yeah, the fires!). Had a few I wanted to share here, starting with the latest from Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar), the title cut to his new LP "Here We Go Crazy"...

It has been an odd year in the Prem. Arsenal have had their injury problems, but to me they seem more mentally frail. That draw with Villa, for instance, was to me more about two points thrown away than Villa's coming back. City have been so perplexing everywhere. I mean, we all knew how good...

Such an incredible deal for Naomi, and for the women's game. And Chelsea, who are already wrecking the WSL despite Emma Hayes' departure, add her to the mix. Naomi and Millie Bright will be virtually impassable.

Liverpool needs a result vs PSV or Barca not to win to maintain the top position at the end. For a team that's scored so freely in the Prem, having only 15 in 7 matches in this competition (tied with Manchester City for 8th most) is puzzling. Then again, we've conceded just two: in the third...

City's capitulation in that match was an utter shock. Maybe the new boys get them going again, though Khusanov looked shaky at the start of the match vs. Chelsea.

16-5-1. Six points clear with a match in hand. Seven more goals than any other team in the Prem. Tied with Arsenal for the fewest conceded (21). Plus, 7 wins in 7 to top the Champions League table. And through to the semifinals of the League Cup (though down 1-0, the reverse fixture is at...

Been six weeks since my last post. Had a few things going on (holidays, end of one term and start of another, illness, Ohio State's run to the national title and ... the fires!), but mostly, there's no real reason to post this year. No one commenting, and the Pens playing about as poorly as...

So hard to post about this season. After the last post on the 24th, they won four in a row, then have been 2-3 since. Good to see the trade acquisitions Philip Tomasino and Cody Glass playing pretty well, and the rookie Owen Pickering is a bright spot. But this team still has defensive problems...

It's OK. I saw the some of the matches on ESPN U, including parts of earlier matches and the women's final between UNC and Wake Forest. I also saw the end of the Marshall match where they beat my Buckeyes, and the penalty shoot-out between Vermont and Denver. But I missed the final? 🤦‍♂️ Hope I...

Just seems he's made the jump from "among the better" to "among the best" now. He's been fantastic the last two seasons. Can see why he's been linked with some top EPL sides, United and Liverpool among them. Liverpool, though, don't usually go for players in their prime playing years, preferring...

And the L.A. band MUNA's lead singer, Katie Gavin, released a single featuring the incredible Mitski, entitled "As Good As It Gets" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10IDJUOQfMY

And the early 2000s band TV on the Radio may not make music any longer but their co-lead singer, Tunde Adebimpe, is still making music. This is a song very much in the TV on the Radio vein, called "Magnetic" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWiGeU1WPW8

And really enjoying this collab between Kendrick Lamar and SZA. This is the song "Luther" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfWLgELllZs

The latest from the Cheshire-based band Doves is called "Renegade". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDjhIMhIUz4

The latest from the acclaimed British artists Elbow, called "Adriana Again" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6mfUbgc4bM

Keep meaning to come here, then get distracted by other forums and forget. So of course, the first artist I want to share after all this time is Ren. This song "Slaughter House" (featuring Kit) is, well, breath-taking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fTylzY3RsU

I was actually thinking the same about starting over and the "not won much" part, too. 😁 And I get the "being behind those guys" part as well. Galls us Liverpool fans that were one behind United in topflight trophies, 20-19. This despite having teams in 18-19 season that would've won the Prem...
