ghost of miles

Yep. I hate the Dodgers, but gotta tip the cap to Yamamoto for hurling back-to-back complete-game victories in the NLCS and now the World Series.

The eagle has landed! Won't get a chance to start listening to it until this evening.

Just got my shipping notice for the Bob Crosby set.

Bari Weiss and the Free Press are absolutely bad-faith trash (CBS soon to be added to the list, now that she's taken her talents there), but yeah, we can't and don't want to get into that. Putting that aside, though, I've read other articles about this same syndrome, and it seems to be an actual thing, or at least worthy of further study. That doesn't mean weed shouldn't be legal, though. People get lung cancer from smoking cigarettes, cirrhosis of the liver from excessive drinking, heart disease from eating fast food... we have far more evidence of the damage that tobacco, alcohol, and fatty food can do to people's health. Lots of people find using weed, whether via smoking or edibles, to be psychologically and physically helpful, and much less destructive to their health in general than the other substances I just listed. Here's a non-FP article about the syndrome from the Cedars-Sinai website: Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome

Amazon's pre-order price for the CD now sitting at $27.97. The station has received a digital promo, so I'll probably live with that and use it for airplay.

Me too, outside of the crazy jagged-geometrical layout for the booklet notes--a style that iirc was in vogue for a number of box set releases in the mid-1990s.

I didn't realize Light in the Attic was doing a CD version of this set as well. On the fence about upgrading from the 1995 box--in the meantime this thread has inspired me to start revisiting it. Oh hey look, it's lunch time! 😉

Co-sign. I have a brother and a friend who are Milwaukee fans, so I’m pulling for them to ultimately win it all, but I’d be happy to see Seattle come out on top as well. Anybody but the Dodgers.

Through the first two discs of this beautifully-curated collection. Not very familiar with post-1980 Joni and am enjoying the sides included herein:

I'm in for all of them except the Tolliver, which iirc was included as part of Mosaic's Tolliver Select set.

Hallelujah! It's a start, anyway... MLB approves robo-ump challenge for balls and strikes beginning in 2026 … good timing for this announcement, coming on the heels of an ump blowing 25 pitch calls in a single game.

We re-aired Jazz From Monterey 1963: Dizzy For President! this past week, and it remains archived for online listening.

The latest entry in this outstanding series:

Yep, this one’s been in the works for quite awhile.

I thought Jason had tendered his resignation on June 19 (appropriately enough). The Kennedy Center has become an absolute joke. Likely no NEA Jazz Masters this year either. EDIT: Close enough re the date of Moran's departure--June 19 was apparently his last performance before stepping down. Jason Moran leaves Kennedy Center

I remember that Ken Dryden and am glad the obit’s not for ours.

I walked by this park on my way to the Oasis concert a week and a half ago. Seeing and learning of its existence was an unexpected delight.

Jomboy: Did Framber Valdez intentionally cross up his catcher?
