    Tennis Thread

    Sinner was struggling at the end of his semis match against Tommy Paul with a blister on his foot, and even while dominating the two sets he won, he didn't look 100%. Alcaraz said after his win that he mentally gets up for playing Sinner, and I think the effort is very well shown in the results...

    Good one! Yeah, I see that now, good call.

    Ah, good call and clarification to me. That will teach me to put on a Spotify "hits of 1972" while working in the yard most of the weekend, getting songs in my head, and for the ones I didn't choose, not researching them further either! ;-)

    Tennis Thread

    Sorry, was behind on this thread, but getting back to tuning in. I actually have resumed playing too, so tennis is definitely on the mind! Yes, with Sinner #1 seed in the French, he's the favourite, but after what Alcaraz did in the Rome finals, I have to like his chances too, especially on...

    Rock Evolution – The History of Rock & Roll - 1984 - (page 198)

    Well.... they did hit #81 on the charts in the US, but the childhood me only took so many trips to the grandparents in the car, so perhaps the AM/FM radio missed this one as I certainly wasn't in charge of the dial in the backseat, and there was no walkman, much less a smartphone for me to tune...

    Don't worry, we have time, let's just listen to the music, let it loose, shake your hips, and if it comes to it, you can phone a friend on the final day to see things out. Just remember you don't have to change lanes too much or shine a light on other genres as we've got you here to keep you...

    FPL - Fantasy Premier League - 2024/25

    I'm not sure how he'd take that news...

    Thanks, that track was also on my shortlist, so I've been waiting for you to get home from Tuesday night's match to put something forward. ;-) Great first choice.

    Thanks for that GLS, today was a long day at work for me and I appreciated that. I figured someone else might enjoy the Philly Soul and the variety that this year offered too. I'm hoping we can get some help too in soon jazzing up the playlist as well. ;-)

    Rock Evolution – The History of Rock & Roll - 1984 - (page 198)

    Thank you brother, and I really wanted to throw in a John Prine selection for you, but his better album was in 1971 which you well covered. So if not JP, my next thought was to leave Jackson Browne and Eagles (if needed) for you, as I knew you'd deliver. A few nice selections I've not heard...

    FPL - Fantasy Premier League - 2024/25

    Nice score, well done! I had Gibbs-White firmly in my starting 11, and Isak well sat on my bench with his 0. Marmoush left for Watkins as the FA rotation was not something I wanted to be sweating, and I had had enough after that GW33 TC blank. Figures, but I didn't care after seeing that...

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    Interesting, have never heard of, BUT have 4 similar artists mentioned in their Spotify profile that I enjoy, with Oasis and The Verve being the most prominent. New music for the upcoming Memorial Day Holiday ("on the beach") for me. Bring it on!

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    As someone who has done the maths (because that is what I do), you are more like the middle of not yet double digits. ;-) Foggy and I both have a similar region of the US and a couple overlap of years of college in common. I could and probably should stop today, but I'll soldier on as long as...

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    On The Beach - Neil Young I've been a happy owner of Neil Young's 3 album/2 CD compilation release of Decade for many years and a few decades now, so I was very interested to listen to this one all the way through. I initially found it interesting the two tracks on Decade from On The Beach that...

    Thanks mate, enjoying your initial selections for both consistency and variety. I did not have the Greek progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child on my Bingo card today, but it is quite the song, and what I really love about this thread. I went into the Ziggy Stardust movie looking forward to...

    Rock Evolution – The History of Rock & Roll - 1984 - (page 198)

    I loved that song back then, and when it was down to the final two singer-songwriter options last week when deciding, I figured getting a reaction or maybe even rise out of you certainly swayed the jury to include it! ;-) Yeah, Himself was 1971 and of course I believe I did the proper checking...

    Rock Evolution – The History of Rock & Roll - 1984 - (page 198)

    LOL - you're just lucky I didn't put two from Yes on already. ;-) Tough calls, but after relistens, I'd argue for 4 from Harvest and Ziggy overall minimum! Plus, I want to hear the backstory on the songs that resonated the most with you and others that heard it when it initially came out...

    Rock Evolution – The History of Rock & Roll - 1984 - (page 198)

    John Fogerty can have Centerfield, because I'll take Leftfield any day! ;-) I enjoyed researching the non-obvious songs more than I thought I would. I honestly didn't know that backstory before this week, but it was so fascinating how that cover came about, I had to include it. That song was...
