Arcade Fire last night in SF. Full house, the crowd was ready to party and the band showed up and brought the energy. Most fun show I’ve been to all year. If you like these guys, catch them on this tour!

Happy birthday, Mr. Numbers!

Setting up for a fun one tomorrow with so much still left in play. Battle for 2nd between Perez (p2) and Leclerc (p3) who are tied on points. Ferrari Boyz trying to hold off the late charging Mercs in the constructors. Ditto Alpine and McLaren. Sir Lewis with his last chance of winning a Grand Prix this season. Let’s see if I can get up in time for the 5AM PST start 🙃

R.E.M. - Murmur On a short list of the best debut albums in rock music, IMO. Still love this one after all these years.

So the Grammy nominations are out... boy am I out of touch with popular tastes. Put a few song of the year candidates on and this isn't bad! I don't think Olivia Rodrigo has much to worry about from this girl but the song is a bit of an ear worm.

Driving that wrangler the way it was meant to be driven. https://youtu.be/l-urynk63Wg

Happy for KMAG. Guy has been grinding all year in the shit-box Haas. It is a shame the sprint races are always a snooze-fest, but that doesn't take away from his happy day.

Happy birthday, Chris!

Happy birthday, Mikey! Hopefully you started the day with a great cup of coffee from that beastly new machine.

Vulture put out a ranking of all the U2 songs and I've been having a blast going through all these B-Sides I've never heard before. https://www.vulture.com/article/all-218-u2-songs-ranked-from-worst-to-best.html U2 isn't everyone's cup of tea but I love them. They are one of my favorite bands to see live or watch concert recordings from.

^ Same. I'm ready for a trip to Sicily!

RIP to the Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis. Unbelievably talented player. I still love his music but he totally deserved the cancellation he brought on himself.

No complaints about the GOT season. I enjoyed it very much. Started The Peripheral over the weekend. Might this be the Amazon adaptation of a book from a beloved author that is worth watching? First two episodes have me very intrigued indeed!

Happy birthday, Marc! Hope you had an amazing time at the races.

Tell Sir Lewis we say hi!

Crybaby - Tegan and Sara I'm late to the party on these two, but I like what I hear. Really pleasant listen.

Happy birthday, Peter!

It is indeed correct.

FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE - Brian Eno New Brian Eno. It is exactly as ethereal, relaxing, and melancholy as you would expect from the man!

I’d feel like duck a l’Orange would be a tasty dinner! Honestly? Glad they got to live a life outdoors. Alternative would be the ducks who are bred for human consumption/pet food.

Happy birthday, Carl!

Happy birthday, Peter!

My first experience with MM Wave 5G at Ohare in Chicago. This is legitimately impressive speed for a mobile phone.

When in Michigan…

So Amazon only released the first two episodes to reviewers before the show aired. I read some interview where the Amazon TV head was saying how proud she was that the show was doing well overseas. Coded language for it bombing in the US?
