The shrike from Hyperion is sad
mariners fans are my favorite bunch of fans of any team in any sport. i watched the bottom half of the last seven innings standing up in my living room. thanks for letting me hitch a ride
The world is on fire, but go Mariners
Weβre Mβs fans down here too!!
This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.
We need a version of the Joe Pera "Baba O'Riley" sketch but for War Pigs

Whatβs the best Wild Mountain Thyme out there? Sandy Denny? I latched on pretty hard to that Steve Gunn one from a couple years back
If you know a good place to look, Iβve been trying to find out if anyone has done βDo you like apples, hoss?β
John C. Reilly makes a good barometer - I've for years had what I call "the Step Brothers test", which is if a movie is not as funny as Step Brothers, it isn't worth watching
#1 Wild Pink - Dulling the Horns
All you can hope for is that youβre in the right place/mind to capture the spirit when it presents itself. Every song carries a focused undercurrent of messy perfection, truly one for the ages and my most listened to in 2024.

#2 Oisin Leech - Cold Sea
This album is a supreme wash of calm. Touches of Nick Drake but very much its own deep breath. Has been a peaceful presence in my life all year.

#3 Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us
This was the first record this year that I knew was a lock for a best of. A little more urgency than their last effort, feels referential to their first couple but still pushing the boundaries.

#4 Nap Eyes - The Neon Gate
I have no idea how to describe these dudes but Iβve loved every one of their philosophical meandering rock and roll albums and thereβs nothing else like them out there.

#5 MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks
This album is flawlessly confident in its attitude- slacker tales of neβer-do-wells told mostly tongue in cheek but not so much you donβt get emotionally invested. Canβt wait to see where he goes next

#6 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD
You cannot touch these guys. Their ability to weave joy, doom and thought into purely instrumental music remains unrivaled. Energizing, scathing, timeless listen.

#7 Rosali - Bite Down
This feels like her breakout after a couple of quietly heralded but still excellent past records. The hooks are there, the band is gelling. Saw her open (solo)for Rose City Band earlier this year but really want to see these live in full!

#8 Yasmin Williams - Acadia
One of the best finger-style guitarists going enlists a broad range of accompanying musicians to explore the boundaries of her craft.

#9 Johnny Blue Skies - Passage Du Desir
(Sturgill Simpson) continues to surprise. Not all of his pivots have been successful to me but he seems to have a knack for finding inspiration in a project and giving it his all. This one hits just right.

Christmas comes this time each year
#10 Jake Xerxes Fussell - When Iβm Called
A fourth extremely solid release from JXF. Master interpreter of archival / lost folk songs filtered through his brilliant guitar playing and light accompaniment. Just the nicest thing to listen to.

#11 Fred Again.. - ten days
I experimented with a lot more dance / house this year and thanks to a spousal obsession this dude got a lot of play and won me over. Spent more than a little time just watching videos of him djβing rooftop shows and vibing
