I will try to check out royal blood. Thanks for the recommendation.  I am not familiar with any artists the next two days.  

Royal blood was good.

Great drummer and the bass player was really unique. He seems to play the bass like a guitar?  Kind a modern version of older muse? I like muse fwiw

Imo the second most important song on the debut after working man is in the mood. A fan fave with the hey cookie lyrics and included on atwas.

As a fan I am glad for no covers.

But if they did do a cover, they should of played the slade classic.

Cum on feel the noize. 

I can can hear ged belting it out now.....

Well the mens TDF was awesome! Jonas kicks ass.

Hard to watch the women's tour with all the brutal crashes.

This afternoon at 4:22, it's mens and women's short track cross country mtb race on redbull

Tmmrw it's gonna be a muddy shitfest for the downhill race. 

Sunday it's Olympic cross country.

This weekend is at snowshoe in west Virginia.  Only us stop this year. West Virginia has been getting hammered by rain. Gonna be sick.

Streamed live or catch replay for free on redbull.

Turnstile is a new band I'm really digging lately and they play on Saturday.  Royal Blood is relatively new since their first album was in 2014.

 

It's just unfortunate that these bands and PUP are there and the brainwashed masses want safe pop crap wolves in sheep's punk clothing like Machine Gun Kelly.  He is to punk rock what a PG13 rating is to a slasher movie.

I will try to check out royal blood. Thanks for the recommendation.  I am not familiar with any artists the next two days.  

I like take a friend and before and after but do think they are the two weakest songs on the debut.

I can't see not fade away or bad boy adding much. It seems that better covers could of been though. Perhaps from a business standpoint it would of been smart.

I posted this as a friendly  headups to any one who might have Hulu. So tune in or tune out. A little new music never hurt anyone.  

Not a real fan of any band playing but Billy strings is on next and if you appreciate next level playing check it out. Acoustic guitar ripping.

FYI if you got Hulu. Check out schedule .Metallica and Billy strings tonight.

Who knows?

Hard to believe all of that was written on the fly. I love the debut and the lyrics. I don't consider the lyrics on the debut to be all that much inferior to neil era rush. And really in a few cases superior to keys and post keys rush.

Working man has stood the test of time and aged as well as any rush song.

Happy birthday to a great artist.

Recently learned he wrote the first cut is the deepest, which Rod Stewart made famous.

Also congrats to Houle! First Canadian stage win since 1988.

Not much hope for Majka, 19 minutes and 42 seconds behind. 

Sorry to see majka dropped out. He was hammering up one of the steepest sections in front of pogacar, when his chain broke.

Hurt his quad. I was surprised he did not crash and suspect his clipless pedals led to his injury. Bummer.

Wout van aert is imo the most impressive rider in the tour.

May she rest in peace. So sad to hear this.

Also may Indica rest in peace. He seemed like a really nice guy.

I don't know. I just don't want Pogacar to win. Yugoslavia was nowhere in sports, then they had a civil war and it seemed right after that, these little countries started to, if not dominate, at least challenge for the championship in different sports. I wouldn't be surprised to find out in about ten years that all these ex-Yugo nations found a new method of doping. 

Had not considered the possibility of doping by Tadej and while I like him, I would prefer someone else to win. If not vinegegaard, then maybe Geraint Thomas.  

It's kinda strange that Roglic is from Slovenia and so is pogacar? I guess anything is possible. 

I gotta think that the better pogacar does. The better majka does as it seems he does a lot work for pogacar? They are on the same team iirc

I thought it was brilliant.

I do wish that Geddy followed his outburst with a vigorous "take off, you hosers"

Top 20 finish for Majka still a possibility.    

Yeah, what a crazy day. Seemed like jumbo visma was sloppy from being so tired. Hope steven K is ok.

I guess majka is your fave rider? Who else do you like ?

September10th...coming right up in Old Orchard Beach Maine,  I'm riding in the annual Michael J Fox Parkinson's ride.  Praying for good weather.   

Cool, I think I remember you doing that ride last year.

Well said. Here's one guy's take on Drake:

 

Drake has remained noticeably apolitical throughout his career. He has prefered to flex his fortune, rapping about being, “25 sittting on 25 mil,” on “The Motto” or his way with women. “The girl of your dreams for me is probably not even a challenge,” boasts the Toronto tunester on “R.I.C.O."

 I think that what Roger is bringing attention to is important. Lots of bad stuff going down.

I dislike what I have heard of drake and the weekend. But I do think non political music is a welcome diversion from today's realities. We are kinda overwhelmed by bad news and negativity so any respite is welcome imo.

Yes, but I can't help thinking that sometimes other riders 'let' a guy win, because he's not a threat to the leaderboard. One day, winner-take-all races, like world championships, are always more exciting for me. 

I hear you , lots of strategy for the multi stage races.

Still. What pidcock did was incredible. He absolutely railed the downhills. He is the youngest rider to win that stage, which is considered to be among the most difficult climbs in the TDF. And this is first TDF.

Great cross country and downhill racing this weekend on redbull. 

Hard pass and efff off to Phil. Google up Phil anselmo racism and read about the shit he pulled at the dimebag tribute show. Total jerk off.

Dime and his bro were the best part of the band. Great riffs and to me very unique and great drumming. May they rest in peace. 

Steely dan has always changed their sound. They really pushed it with Katy lied (my fave) and to them it was less than sonic perfection. 

TRS is better than aja in my eyes but it's still kick ass.

The differences being more cocaine, more money ,more studio players and more polish.

Fun stuff!

Yeah, Steve and Martin are great together. 

What a day for Pidcock!

In my eyes most bands are truly metal for only a few records. Something more metal comes about.

That which was once metal sometimes becomes mainstream.

Rush- ATWAS

Megadeth-sfsgsw

Megadeth-peace sells

Pantera- far beyond driven

Between the buried and me- colors & the great misdirect

Black sabbath- Paranoid

Mastodon-blood mountain

Dream theater- images and words

Buckethead- the cuckoo clocks of hell

Animals as leaders - AAL

Majka had a big day. He is a beast. Supposedly with mild covid too.

I am a fan of van Der poel so I was sad to see him drop out but not surprised. 

AOR is a type of fm radio. Not a way to label a band imo.
