Nostalgic Debauchery And The Neighbors Who Get Me

weezel32

So I was sitting up at the Illinois-Nebraska tailgate last week when I got a text from a neighbor. He was in a relative’s garage and found some old beer cans. He said they made him think of me and wanted to know if I was interested in them. Let’s gloss over life decisions I have made that would make someone immediately think of me when they stumble upon old beer, and just acknowledge that yeah, I have a known personality trait. Also, cool find and welcome additions to the collection. It was a tad serendipitous I was at a … Continue reading Nostalgic Debauchery And The Neighbors Who Get Me

weezel32

Plan your afternoon naps accordingly today. Tyler Childers is live streaming his concert from the sold out Red Rocks Amphitheater tonight. But, it starts at 9:30 p.m. MST, so 10:30 p.m. where I live.

Sturgill Simpson’s Fire & Fury: A New Way To Consume Art, And I’m On Board

weezel32

Billed as a visual album, country rocker Sturgill Simpson released last week what I hope becomes an actual thing going forward. Part anime, part new album, all kickass, Sound & Fury is just a fun, new way to do things. That Sturgill took the leap is not a surprise at all. The dude gives zero shits what most of us mere mortals think. And I love him for that. Pigeon-hole this man at your own peril. The film follows an inscrutable samurai driver on a path to a showdown with the big bads of a post-apocalyptic world. With a skater … Continue reading Sturgill Simpson’s Fire & Fury: A New Way To Consume Art, And I’m On Board

Mules Score 40 Straight After Giving Up First Points Of Year

weezel32

For the last couple of weeks, the dominant talk around the Fairfield Mules has been “the streak”—the four straight games without allowing a point to start the season. It dominated the conversation enough it was becoming a distraction. Distraction no more, as the Carmi-White County Bulldogs scored on their opening drive of the game Friday, and took an 8-0 lead on Justin Townsends’s Mules. The Mules, however, responded with 40 unanswered points and improved to 5-0 with a 40-8 win at the Train Yard. “It was inevitable. Eventually, someone is going to score on you. Our kids responded right back … Continue reading Mules Score 40 Straight After Giving Up First Points Of Year

Lady Mules Win Twice In Conference Play This Week

weezel32

They did not play their sharpest game of the year, but an off night for the Fairfield Lady Mules is still good enough for a 25-12, 25-19 home conference win over Eldorado Thursday night. That was the second BDC win of the week for Chet Snyder’s squad, after they beat Hamilton County Tuesday on the road, 25-14, 25-11. Coming into the year, the Lady Foxes were thought to be the toughest challenge within conference play for Fairfield. On Thursday, Fairfield jumped out to an 8-1 lead, with Chloe Britton serving seven straight points. In that surge, Britton had two aces, … Continue reading Lady Mules Win Twice In Conference Play This Week

Fab Five Friday 9-27-19

weezel32

We are back this week after not getting caught up enough last Friday to get a Fab Five Friday put together. So, here are this week’s five songs worth listening to. Lindsey Stirling–Artemis I mentioned a while back I like to listen to some instrumental stuff when I’m reading. My latest go-to has been the Artemis EP from Lindsey Stirling, which is now a full blown album. It is mostly electronic+violin, but has some vocal trance, and guest appearances by Amy Lee and Elle King. Lindsey is well known in the electronica/dance world, and has even penned a NYT bestseller … Continue reading Fab Five Friday 9-27-19
