Saving this quote for future baseball references:
Its the only sport where patience is a weapon and panic the surest death, you cannot simply run out the clock in baseball, you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

H/T @312sportschi.bsky.social - great find

This is life

Great episode for that kind of deep dive into the 'how and why' of many things.

Enjoying the new podcast by the way- glad to hear Matty and you doing something. Looking forward to Bears post game breakdowns

Wow- how did this dude even coach a team?

At the end of "Book and Dagger" -Joseph Curtiss, after war is over, get permission to do with what he wants with all the fascist art, so he just burns it in the furnace (all the stuff made the party, generals, losers) to heat the building they were working in.

Ok, rare double #musicnuggets post
Listened to this whole album today multiple times. Perfect atmospherics and sounds. Saw some vibes playing live in the last month and I have always appreciated this sound. Enjoy this one

Wow where did the time go? Time for more #musicnuggets
I'm not the biggest prog rock fan, but this track from Quicksand was pretty odd to hear in the rotation today.
Enjoy this one

Time for another a much needed #musicnuggets
This album has completely taken over my attention in recent weeks- the entire album is excellent. I recommend seeking out the full album and giving it a listen. The tone and vibes scream summer and joy. So enjoy this one

There was a huge fan restorational effort 15-20 years ago to recover the original look/effects lost in the multiple releases of the original trilogy that new editions did- check out Harmy's Despecialized Editions. Took those old laser discs, reels, etc. to effective restore/preserve the films

Late night #musicnuggets

Funky and 50 years old- this track has a very specific vibe. The singer of this track, Antonia Maass, has some 70s song writting lore attached to her as well- interesting story to read about. Enjoy this one

The new Maxwell St. Pontiff, Bob, da Pope, less we forget, still is on the record with some views that may not be as progressive as you'd think. First questions should be on if his views have changed on what he's said in the past. Otherwise this is just another caller Bob from Dolton

There is a long standing Chicago radio bit about callers being named Bob- for this pope, and many of his generation, that name/age is highly represented in the area. Truly a major missed opportunity, but get enough people on board and call 'em Bob da Pope

A month later and still it is good to have some #musicnuggets

This song I heard a few weeks ago, but returned to it today and it has a wonderful tone. After busy moments it brings a calming effect for me. Enjoy this one

Remember when people believed this tank out of the playoffs was still happening and the team was going to be awful? The Sixers were just a few games behind the Bulls in the standings, since Feb 5 the Sixers went 4-28

Gotcha, I do remember Edwards Jr. making those statements, but forgot they went both times. This makes a lot more sense

Spring is here and #musicnuggets is now

Had this goofy vibe and couldn't shake this track from my brain today. Embryo is an interesting group to listen to, a good selection of tracks always have kept my attention. Enjoy this funky one

I don't think that post was correct. It cites a deleted article & the date is off. When the Cubs went to the White House visit, Edwards Jr. went, he is in the photos (top row), and Obama was still president (which the Cubs tried fit in spite of the political change).

Sunday #musicnuggets

This krautrock album is quite interesting. A wonderful background album, subtle and yet hits all the right tones.
This track starts off quite slow and meanders a bit, but it does go somewhere fun. Enjoy this one today

Sunday #musicnuggets

This track by trupeter Jeff Tyzik for some reason just resonated so much. It envoked a feeling of something I'd heard or seen before. But later this track takes a slightly different tone, and very much sounds like some back alley in Midgar (ha)

Time for some warmer #musicnuggets

Stumbled on this recently, and its a wonderful song. The vibe here invites you towards the warmth and away from the chills of winter. Hope you enjoy this playful and joyful tune

Would "Psycho" work? From the original film, w/ the killer's perspective shown for significant stretches. White Heat was called a "Crime" film, but the main POV is a killers. Apply Psycho-label to the 60's remake of The Killers, decades later in American Psycho, No Country for Old Men, even Bronson?

Try some Lemon Sour Squad (the all lemon-yellow can) in most Lawsons. Despite the name, its from Nakameguro in Tokyo. Easy to spot in the case, wonderful day drink on a sunny day

Also a less used, even remembered one, was something along the lines of "it just keeps getting worse, I'm John Feinstein"

How to Have a Friend in Chicago, by Shermy from the album Friends 2020

Time for #musicnuggets

This new album from @shermymusic.bsky.social is great- this track in particular is special. The hook is joyful and this track, like many on the album, feel like they are speaking directly to the listener. I'm glad it exists- Enjoy!

This week in #musicnuggets

The wonderful guitar of Masayoshi Takanaka- this song I've enjoyed for some time. Just rediscovered it again today and wanted to make sure to share. Enjoy it!

YouTube video by Cortex - Topic L'enfant samba

Been a while since the last #musicnuggets - so here we go
Stumbled on this wonderful little French samba. Said this before (and will again), the fact these songs are 50 years old already boggles the mind. The musical treasure of our time never ceases to bring me joy

Hello to the beautiful people who enjoy #musicnuggets

This tune stood out recently, a 50+ year old track that has wonderful energy and is just a joy to listen to. I hope you enjoy it too

Time for volume and violence with a late night #musicnuggets

In Japan I went to a jazz bar where the lovely 80 year old owner Yuko put this album on to play side one. The bar had two giant speakers on an extremely loud setting, and this free jazz exploded. Enjoy

The return of #musicnuggets !

One of my favorite bands - Big Blood. This song is what I wish I'd hear on the radio on a long road trip in the fog and mist, along mountain roads somewhere. Enjoy this absolute banger
