I expect the Dodgers will respond shortly with a 7/130 offer to Jar Jar Binks.

Well, Wiggo (and Froome) just smashed the time trial, so unless he falls down a ravine or something this is now a race for second and third. Hard not to see him wheelsucking Evans/Nibali and pulling Froome into 2nd for the rest of the tour. I kinda wish Contador was here just to give him some compet...

I don't think it would have been worth killing himself over. Steep part wasn't that long, followed by a little too much low grade. Sky would have been all over it. That said, he certainly doesn't seem to have brought last year's form out this season. Cancellara can't be thinking about the podium, ca...

Yeah, I think that would have been a real fight. Too bad. This is a TT-heavy tour though, so there are a couple major showdowns between the too. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wiggans beat them both at either though; his form has been absurd this year, and the tour is really his, so long as he doesn...

So are all these heart failures on the pitch due to PEDs? I know that's how it goes in cycling at least.

Superbowl XLV: Dedicating tens of millions of dollars to the massive multinational broadcast of the world's worst musical performance.

Yeah, her Mego albums are my favorite- I actually prefer Make Me Hard for its idiosyncrasies and density. It feels like her most personal work to me. I really love her peripheral broken pop music, and once she started collaborating I think she largely ended up with less interesting tracks and her vo...

word has leaked that Jeter is looking for 6/150 and won't budge from $25M per. that's so outrageous, I can't stop chuckling when I think about it. Good lord, if they go for that I might start watching Yankees games just to laugh at ol' moneybucket wobbling around out there at the cost of $17,000 pe...

Pretty disappointing, if only cause the Rangers showed such exciting play against the Rays and Yanks, just to fall asleep at the wheel. Without a real interest in the outcome, I was really just watching the series waiting for that team to show up again, and they never did. Good on the Giants for a l...

Hm, guess this is almost making up for Texas' bullpen breakdown in game 1.

Lee is a man among men, that's certain.

Nice.

And cigar dude on the right is amazing.

franz, the name to follow is Lula Cortes. Satwa's not great (simple acoustic guitar ragas), but Paebiru, Rosa De Sangue, and the Marconi Notaro album are all excellent. Time-Lag's done a nice job getting his stuff out.

The guys at Mochilla have been doing some nice Arthur Verocai stuff lately.

The Nauseef/Mori/Courvoisier/Quintus album Albert is worth a mention, being a tribute to Albert Hofmann, father of LSD.

I'm definitely an Amalia fan, but I've never found a real fado resource in English. I've always been curious about what mutations it might have gone through over the years; the spare instrumentation and hyper-expressive vocals seem like they'd really lend themselves to work with experimental leaning...

Tallying up so far/making a shopping list: 14 Radu Malfatti & Klaus Filip - imaoto (erstwhile) 8 Nmperign - Ommatidia (Intransitive Recordings) 7 Keith Rowe - Erstlive 007 (erstwhile) Radu Malfatti & Taku Unami - Goat Vs. Donkey (Taumaturgia) Robin Hayward, Rhodri Davies, Taku Unami - Valved Strings...

Thanks for the heads up, mudd!

Anti Pop Consortium have a new record out I like the single 'Volcano' quite a bit and am excited to hear the rest of the album I found the record quite uninspiring unfortunately. It's got good bits but doesn't get nearly as interesting as their earlier releases in my opinion. I saw them live in a l...

Yeah, group of death doesn't really mean much here. It all seems pretty decently balanced, except H and maybe B.

Yeah, I should add that I'm giving those recs having only heard Blood Honey (their piece from the Digitalis Arroyo subscription series), so I don't know what their other two are like. But the Archive catalog in general (I was thinking specifically of San Seng Shi when recommending Li Jianhong) seems...
