⦿ Tuesday Links
The girls and I are headed down to the lake today to take care of some administrative tasks and hopefully get a swim or two in if the weather holds. Seems like the perfect day to clear out the queue of links I’ve hoarded over the past three weeks. We’ll begin with a couple older, and lengthy, pieces I held…

I can’t seem to sit down and knock out a couple of the ideas I have for longer posts. I have a few projects around the house. I spend some time each day on my sports coordinator activities. And, let’s face it, I’m an epically lazy person; I can put shit off with the best of them. So rather than…
The Twelfth Man
I had a very busy Friday; I left the house with the girls in the morning and didn’t return until after school. Then I had to dive right into the yard work as C’s birthday party was Saturday and we had a softball game plus bad weather to work around. So apologies for not sharing any music Friday. To kick…
Stop Trying
Ok, I think the Internet is officially done. Someone has created the perfect website. There’s no need to try anything else, because this one simply cannot be topped. How Music Taste Evolved
Purple Links
Man, were there some great Prince-related articles over the past week. Here are some of my favorites. Joe Posnanski used Prince’s death as an excuse to look back on his epic Super Bowl halftime show. Although the Colts won that night, my biggest memories of the evening are Prince’s performance and how cold it was that night when I took…

This story has gotten a lot of attention over the past couple days, so odds are many of you have already read it. But it’s worth sharing, if only because it proves what we learned in Finding Nemo: all drains lead to the sea. Octopus slips out of aquarium tank, crawls across floor, escapes down pipe to ocean Om Malik…
A Very Sweet Day
Sweet 16 day has arrived! I woke up with a little nervousness, but with a bigger feeling of excitement. As I always say, this is the best week of the tournament, and it is much easier for your mind to contemplate bigger scenarios when there are a maximum of four games left in your favorite team’s season. Of course, being…

A pretty light edition this week. (Update: have a sick kid at home for the fourth time in two weeks, so was able to read/add a couple more articles while watching Scooby Doo and Despicable Me 2.) To begin, more love for Bill Self. I’m sharing these now since we’ll all be bashing him in a couple weeks when KU…

My Instapaper queue is crammed full of articles. Unfortunately for all of you, the bulk of them relate to a couple topics I’m really into now that won’t necessarily be that interesting to anyone else. So just a few things to share this week. This is really long, and really geeky, but here is a very detailed look at how…

We’ll kick this week’s edition off with a couple music-related links. Stereogum is excellent when it comes to putting together long profiles of artists just before they release a new album. Ryan Leas’ deep look at the recording process of The War On Drugs’ Lost In The Dream played a huge role in setting expectations for that album. Here he…
