Friday Playlist
“Dopamine” – Robyn Our Swedish Queen has returned! Her first new music in over seven years. “WAITING FOR THE PHONE CALL” – The Twilight Sad Speaking of artists that have been away for a bit, this song is the first new music from The Twilight Sad in six years. They have a very special guest on this track; The Cure’s…
High School Hoops: An Ominous Start
Last night CHS finally played their first game of the year. I say finally because their opponent, and many other schools in the state, had already played two games. I know our coaches were trying to find a game to fill last week, but that fell through and we got off to a late start to the new season. Maybe…
Weekend Notes
Well, a real bummer of a sports weekend that was partially saved by Jonathan Taylor. Let’s get into it. Friday Shades of late August/early September as I was both listening to the Cathedral game and watching sports on the TV. My attentions were less divided than back then, though, as most of my attention was on the KU-North Carolina game.…
Friday Playlist
‘’Over Our Heads” – Snocaps Last week’s big music surprise was the new album from Katie and Allison Crutchfield. Rather than resurrect one of their previous bands, they brought in pal MJ Lenderman and longtime Waxahatchee producer Brad Cook to do something completely new. It is a nice blend of what each sister does well. Believe it or not, I…
Reader’s Notebook, 11/6/25
The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Suzanne Collins One of the great parenting gifts I’ve received recently is L re-discovering her love of reading over the past year. She started reading more in the spring while she was rehabbing. When summer rolled around she kept up with it. After she got a Kindle she really took off. She is…
NFL Mid-Season Review
It is time for our monthly overview of the NFL. As with the month one check-in, teams seem committed to confounding and keeping us from making any broad assessments about which are the best. Before I get to my breakdown, some thoughts about the Colts making, for the first time in years, a move at the trade deadline. And a…
Tuesday Links
I just found this fantastic profile of American Treasure Katie Crutchfield that came out last spring. I knew she had a twin sister – more on that later this week – but did not know there was a third sister in the family. Turns out that sister’s story is a huge, emotional part of the music Katie has made in…
Weekend Notes
Not the most exciting weekend we’ve ever had, although there was one, massive event that sucked up a lot of my attention and messed with my sleep schedule. Halloween As usual a low-key night at our house. We had maybe 40 total trick or treaters. It’s always weird because we can see tons of kids just a block away, but…
October Media
Another month in which, both by choice and by chance, I didn’t watch a ton of TV. Also remember I’m stripping out a lot of the trivial stuff I glance at on YouTube (although I’ve cut a lot of that, too) and just sharing the substantial or impactful things I have watched/listened to. Harvesting Tequila, Surfing Secret Coves & Tasting…
Friday Playlist
“Halloweenhead” – Ryan Adams When Halloween falls on a Friday, I kind of have to play this. “Anywhere” – Ratboys Second pre-release banger from the next Ratboys album, which has officially been given a February release date. “Paint Me A Picture” – Magdalena Bay MB just released two pretty good singles, I slightly prefer this sultry one. “Doldrum Days” –…
