    Behind the Scenes: Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso Tottenham Head Coach

    Jason Sudeikis leaving SNL, on to greener pastures, but he did this incredible promo for NBC Sports on his way to being a movie star or getting his own series or something. NBC Sports will be airing the upcoming English Premier League season in the states, which will probably the most exposure that soccer gets…

  • Pearl Jam “Faithful”

    Pearl Jam “Faithful”

    I got to see Dave Grohl & Foo Fighters soundcheck at the Gorge, college days. Just me making elephant ears in the summertime, got my prep done and guess which band was doing a run-thru. Got to see Red Hot Chili Peppers too. And probably made a cool $50. Anyways, this is supposed to be…

  • Kingdome Demolition

    Kingdome Demolition

    The Kingdome, aka ‘King County Multipurpose Domed Stadium’ just doesn’t capture the sensation of spending a beautiful summer day in the Pacific Northwest indoors watching the Mariners. “King County Sports Garage” seems more appropriate or just call it a ‘hole’. Like how a ‘whole’ lotta ceiling tiles started falling one day at Mariners batting practice. And…

  • Sounders Drop Deuce on MLS

    Sounders Drop Deuce on MLS

    That’s the headline I wanted to write. Oh well. It’s still mine. Dempsey has always been my favorite USMNTplayer. He scores goals. Plain and simple. He’s been a consistent performer even when the rest of his US teammates were playing like shit. One goal can really change a match, and Dempsey is the kind of…

    It’s a lot like Led Zeppelin, but hotter.

    J.J. Cale/ Eric Clapton- After Midnight Live From Crossroads Guitar Festival 2004

    RIP JJ Cale Turns out Eric Clapton ripped off a couple of white blues musicians too.

  • GrOpener

    GrOpener

    Can’t believe they named their invention that, but the GrabOpener doesn’t capture the imagination like a trip to second base. Or being President of these United States. I don’t think your buddies are going to be very impressed.

    Elvis Costello, The Roots – Walk Us UPTOWN (Lyric Video)

    Elvis Costello seems to just fit in any genre or time period. Life is unfair.

  • “Mind Your Manners” – Pearl Jam

    “Mind Your Manners” – Pearl Jam

    This has been out for a couple of days now, in case you hadn’t heard it already here it is. Looks like another album with another sonic identity for Pearl Jam. It’s been a long time since Ten begat a departure to Vs., Vitalogy, No Code, and then Yield. Their most recent effort Backspacer does…

  • Seattle Skyline Time-lapse

    Seattle Skyline Time-lapse

    This is only a modern history of the skyline, post-fire and basically shows the “new” skyscrapers since 1958. I did some searching for an Seattle skyline photo that was before the “Great Fire” in 1889. I remember seeing it years agon in a book whose title I can no longer recall. Really striking architecture, can’t…

Got any book recommendations?
