ONE love, blood, life
I really like this album by Joseph.
I almost bit on that vinyl when I was getting the new Okkervil River. Seems like they have an acoustic Lucius vibe, which is attractive.

Damn right. Bactrim, 2 Aleves, expired Sudafed. Party.
Nap Eyes can't be worse than Girl Tears.
So, the second single from the new Metallica record - Moth Into Flame - is much better than the first, which was pretty much crap imo. This one has some old school Metallica elements in it and is actually good to these ears. Anyone else given it a chance?
And here's them playing it on Fallon if you care:
I'm listening to the new Opeth, but I'm worried I've put their last two on by mistake.
I like what I've heard of it so far. My brother actually met them at an album signing today. Seeing them at Radio City Music Hall tonight so that should be incredible.
I just don't care for this new direction at all. If they were a new band whose first album was Heritage, I literally would never have listened to them. I'm passing on their Australian tour for the first time.
Since ol' mate Cobbs is clearly slacking - or already hard on the piss - then the sacred duty falls to me to inform the rest of you that today is literally the greatest day of the year.
It is AFL Grand Final Day.
Join us. The game begins at 2:30pm Melbourne time, which is 9:30pm on the US west coast and 12:30am on the east coast.
Today we've got this year's minor premiers (and champions in 2005 and 2012), the Sydney Swans, playing against the rest of Australia in an attempt to destroy the forces of all that is good and just in the world.
Representing Australia, goodness, and justice are the Western Bulldogs of Footscray, the battlers from Melbourne's poor western suburbs who have only ever won one premiership, in 1954, and only made a grand final on one other occasion, in 1961. The Dogs finished seventh this year, despite losing only two more games than Sydney, and had a brutal run of injuries, and are the lowest-qualifying team to ever make a grand final. Everybody dismissed their chances at the start of the finals but they've knocked off both of last year's grand finalists on a miraculous journey to the last dance. If they can complete the final chapter of a great sporting fairytale it will basically be one of the greatest moments in sporting history. All of Melbourne has united in backing the Doggies.
So yes, if you know what's good for you, find yourself a stream of the game and tune in.
Signed,
Australia
PS Thanks America, now we have a debate about standing for the national anthem too. Nobody likes our anthem! We don't normally have it before games but we mumble it before the grand final for no readily apparent reason.
I see Sting is opening this year. That's a more credible pickup than Bryan Adams, to say the least.
Well, this was my setlist for tonight, so it may still be worth it for you.

Great work. What an incredible day it was. Still feels surreal.
I didn't see it I overslept, but I thought Bryan Adams was great last year and about the most perfect choice. It's a bit weird to have a less rockier act playing a song about stalking.
Would recommend everyone watch this - one of the greatest gestures I've ever seen, no hyperbole. This is the premiership coach giving his medal to the club's captain and all-round excellent human Bob Murphy, who did an ACL in round three and hasn't played since.
so wait - the team captain got injured and doesn't get a medal like the rest of the team because of that?
You could play in every other game for the year, but if you are injured or not selected for the grand final, you miss out.
