Dubi would know plenty about Torts. I'm surprised McDonagh can still walk. In the three years he played under Torts he averaged 110 blocks/season.
Should have called the tour Back To The Twang Bars
He's good for playing a piece of a classic rock tune, like the intro to "Subdivisions", then segueing into the "LET'S go RAN-gers!" chant. Love it.
Sweet tribute from Duncan Jones on Twitter

I stopped going to most pro sports years ago. I owned season tickets for the Jacksonville Jaguars for their first 10 years or so but it got so bad in the last couple of years that we gave them up....
The Reivers - Saturday
The Reivers - Second Story
From Austin, Tx. One of the great, underappreciated "college rock" bands of the 80's. Saturday is one of my favorite records ever.
This thread is bringing back memories of going to games with my father. He took me to the very first Bat Day at Yankee Stadium in 1963. Near the end of his life, my brother and I took him to the...
Didn't expect NYR to sweep so Sunday's game was not totally deflating, although losing in the final minutes like they did is a little hard to take.
Listened to a recent interview with Carl Palmer which sent me down an ELP rabbithole:

Who would have thought that two of the greatest hockey players to ever lace em up (Gretz & Mess) would be such wooden commentators.
At least TNT has Kenny Albert. But their studio crew is pretty...
A couple of films appeared on the Kanopy app recently that I checked out:
"Nowhere Boy", the John Lennon biopic of his pre-Beatles years in Liverpool. Not bad but I guess when you know so much of...
Horrendous. Besides, I thought chicks dig the long ball.
I used to PE standing up but lately it seems easier to just sit down.
The George Carlin doc on HBO Max is excellent, maybe even better than the Garry Shandling from 2018. Judd Apatow is becoming the Ken Burns of comedy documentaries.
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops.
Swans - To Be Kind

Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings and Plays Probably shoulda just stuck to playing.

Very good film. The book brought me to tears.
I'm old enough to remember when only road games were televised locally (I believe it was Channel 9 in NYC for Rangers games). So the only time I saw the team play as a kid, they were in the road blue...
I stumbled across this artist on Bandcamp and wondered if anyone was familiar.
Instrumental guitar, to me kind of Gilmour-like with a little Eric Johnson in the mix. Shreddy in places but also very...
This is the stuff that I love. The out-of-focus shot slowly resolving into focus. The extreme closeup of an apparently innocuous item. Just watching the minute facial expressions, especially of...
A classic. I saw these guys at CBGB probably 77/78. I assume they must have played some of these songs but who remembers?
Patti Smith - Horses
Patti Smith - Dream of Life
About halfway through Lenny Kaye's "Lightning Striking: Ten Transformative Moments in Rock & Roll", in which he documents and offers his unique perspective on many pivotal events in rock history,...
I polished off an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby during the comeback on Wed nite so, as a dedicated fan, I am similarly equipped for Friday. The sacrifices one must make to support the...
Gonna need Igor to be Igor and the top six to wake the heck up. Hopefully Lindgren will be available. Good to see signs of life from Trouba. Miller has been very good. If 87 plays, I don't like the...
Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information Discovered him through a podcast and checked this out on Apple. Proto-Prince. Ranges from funk to guitar workouts to what almost sounds like bleep-bloop video...
I actually saw Langella play Dracula on Broadway in 1978. I agree he was excellent in "Frost/Nixon". I watched "Robot and Frank" after seeing a glowing review by Peter Travers in Rolling Stone whom I...
This is a real head-scratcher. He won't be unemployed long.
Cranes - Wings of Joy
Brian Eno & Harold Budd - The Pearl
The Rangers have fallen back into their old fixation with making that one more pretty pass. You'd think with a 3rd string goaltender they'd be shooting from the dressing room. If you get eliminated...
It took me a couple of years to convince my wife that we should dump DirecTV for streaming. But when the monthly charge exceeded $200, and with some "political" factors added in, she finally agreed....
New (to me) stuff courtesy of artists referenced previously in this thread:
Barracuda Triangle - Electro Shock Therapy Flower Kings alumni. Excellent.
Socrates Drank the Conium - The Complete...
Boston was one of the great debuts in rock history. I hadn't heard anything like it before. Took me a "long time" to get used to "Hitch a Ride" not fading out and changing tracks like it did on the...
Look, the league's pretty much been kissing the Penguins ass since handing them Lemieux on a silver platter in 84 and then Sid 20 years later.
But I'm not bitter.
Checked this out today. Barry Levinson is one of the best and I think this is one of his finest films. The acting is first rate and the boxing scenes are really well done. And it's nice to see...

If it's David Simon, I'm in. ;)
This has just appeared on the Kanopy streaming service, which is what I use to borrow films from my local library. I'm not the biggest FZ fan but the doc is very well done.
The batter must have been chirping as he rounded the bases because it didn't look like he flipped the bat or was admiring his shot or anything overt like that.

The new Slow Horses series is excellent. The friction between Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas is worth the price of admission alone.
Dave Bainbridge - The Remembering
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken
John Hammond - So Many Roads
Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder - Get On Board (3 song preview of new record 4/22)
I've been on the Solstice bandwagon for a long time. I think their 2010 release Spirit is my fave but Prophecy is also strong. Melody is always king for me and these guys bring it.

Patti Smith's memoir of her time with Robert Mapplethorpe, Just Kids. I'm a big Patti fan, of her music and other art and activism. She writes so honestly and expressively about that influential...

Ferguson Jenkins on Twitter: "Not even if I had a broken arm and had to roll the ball over the plate am I leaving a perfect game in the 7th."
Really good new series on Apple starring Gary Oldman: “Slow Horses”. A British spy thriller with Kristen Scott Thomas as Oldman’s superior. The interplay between them is extremely fun to watch and...
The Odd Couple is one of the greatest TV comedies ever. I rewatch the DVD set every year or two. Klugman’s memoir “Tony and Me” is a loving and very moving account of his relationship with Randall. ...
This is terribly sad news. In addition to his stand up, I was a fan of his podcast also. If you have any interest in him at all, or the life of standup comics in general, search out the "Gilbert"...
