    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    I've not been to a show with a line like that out the door before. I went there expecting to see fans of a band that started in 1989 of the similar "seasoned age", but at one point thought I was at the wrong place in seeing who was waiting in line to get in. I'd say the average fan age was in...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    I'll throw in my top 5 new discovery albums given yours made the top, and it was very close between 1 and 2 as I must have listened to each of these albums and a few others (Budos Band, Yawpers) more than just a few times again: This is the Sea - The Waterboys The Colour of Spring - Talk Talk *...

    Blue Moon Playlist Review Club - Season 2 - Episode 27 - Out on blue 6 - Gone Too Soon (pg 438)

    I need to give the original album a proper listen, agreed. Back in the late '90s, I picked up the Recurring Dream CD 19 track compilation which had these 4 gems off of Woodface, but I'm probably ready for more: "Weather with You", "Fall at Your Feet", "Four Seasons in One Day" and "It's Only...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    No matter who picked what, I'm sensing a theme that no one but perhaps 2 (nominator and Coatigan) really knows who chose "Stacy's Mom". Kudos to the BM Album Review "Hide and Seek" winner (assuming they aren't a burner account)! ;-) We're mostly all claiming it, and none are right... 1...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Just got back from the Peninsula of saying both hello and goodbye to colonies, so it's been a busy one for me. Fitting to see the trying times during both periods back then to what is likely ahead. Will have the correct guesses by EOD. Slowdive is in town tonight, so it can't be too late. ;-)

    Blue Moon Playlist Review Club - Season 2 - Episode 27 - Out on blue 6 - Gone Too Soon (pg 438)

    Gone Too Soon This was a bittersweet playlist with the gifts of the great songs we have, but the sad feeling those (mostly) responsible were no longer with us and didn't perhaps live their life to fullness for whatever sad reason. I found that hard to shake in listening to the songs here...

    FPL - Fantasy Premier League - 2024/25

    Haaland and then VC Mbuemo had higher projected points than Cunha, so I just went with them. Things will be changing going forward. Look at the upcoming fixtures through GW17. Not the easy road for City, and there are lots of cheaper forwards currently scoring more that have some great easier...

    FPL - Fantasy Premier League - 2024/25

    The problem was, for what he costs, that just isn't enough. Hopefully I'll be able to bring him back after GW18 if he starts getting more back in form.

    FPL - Fantasy Premier League - 2024/25

    Hated to do it tonight, but just brought him in as well as the current writing is on the wall. Maybe I'll jinx him for City's benefit. Got 2 risers and sold 2 droppers including Haaland, so it had to happen tonight.

    FPL - Fantasy Premier League - 2024/25

    Neither Haaland nor McNeil dropped this week before the deadline despite strong indications one or both might most nights prior. If Haaland goes off tomorrow, he could well stabilize, or he will drop if he does not break his 4 out of the last 5 blanks. Holding Foden and Cunha now as under 8%...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Sure, and I wasn't going to list them all, but before this round is over, I'll provide a Top 5 of albums I already knew from page 1 in the ranked order I have them in. @BlueHammer85 in particular will enjoy that list.

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Given the 'favorite find' criteria for nomination, I doubt that album was going to be on many lists by its very nature. No matter what the stance, most had probably heard it prior to the Editor's Pick. Probably also why there was no Pearl Jam Ten and others similarly listed too. I suspect...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    I was just happy to see I even had 2 of mine listed after seeing none of the songs on the playlist. That alone made my day. So it didn't take much.

    Rob also had me down for one I didn't review either, FWIW. But you and I both know the truth on that one, right? ;-)

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Think I was hung out to dry there, so kudos on that. I'd like to say I have the same excitement for this round, but my late night gut punch is still smarting. The 2016 me reminds me I should have seen it coming too. I think I'm all out of critical thinking these days if that was the masses are...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    CNN is all over that district and it was always on the "must haves". She'll likely get it, so again, no one has broken serve. I still have 2016 scars, so nothing is taken for granted. Still too early to call, and only a polling miscalc was going to end this early, and that doesn't appear to...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    All true, but she's only overperforming Biden in 4 counties in NC, and Charlotte/Mecklenburg is not yet one of those. Hopefully she can run it up there when the over 80% of votes there come in. She is outperforming Biden in my county, so I both did my part and am where I need to be. Still...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    The early Allentown lead that Harris has over Biden's margin with the high concentration of Puerto Rican voters gives me some hope there, as well as the very high Philly Philly turnout. PA is going to end up being KEY, likely the ultimate decider. Would love for NC to get back in on it, and...

    US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

    The rural I-81 corridor always has been red. Wait for the NoVA blue pile-on. That has happened every 4 years since 2008.
