Nova Carmina

One of the great "that guy" actors; RIP.

"Riders on the Storm" Bad Religion -- Stranger Than Fiction

I laughed at AC/DC! It's funny cuz it's true. And this guy has better time than Lars, too . . . .

Boo! :P

A couple of these A- movies (True Romance, The Big Short) would be great even if Pitt weren't in them, so he's drafting there. He was hilarious in Snatch and Ocean's 11 (the sequels were tedious, self-referential, etc.), and despite people mocking "what's in the box?", we was doing it all in Seven. A good, but not great. He's more Signals than Moving Pictures.

Happy Anniversary! Go on and treat yourself a little.

Perogies for everyone! I guess that would have been either one, though, huh?

He definitely made some huge blunders over the years, but he got praises during his stint in Turkey. I've seen goalkeepers going back in a team's good graces in the past. Only time will tell, I guess... French club Montpellier have approached Liverpool with a view to purchasing him but currently Liverpool are playing hardball ..... think they will sell at the right price. And it looks like they're selling Lovren to Zenit St. Pete; I'll help him get packed.

How is "Kashmir" losing this poll? (Don't say "math" . . . ). Epic song. "Stargazer" is good, Dio is great, but c'mon, man!

So I'm 0-2 in my early season picks. Don't worry, I won't pick your team next!

The Washington Football Team. :sigh:

Terrible. Yes, the logo and colors look cool, but what's it to do with Seattle? As a peeve, I've never liked the "collective noun" names (like the Wild or the Avalanche).

Depends on what you mean by "chance." He might get to fight for the back-up position, but I still think it's more likely they'll sell him. There's been some interest, although I can't remember now from where. Too much bad mojo there; he needs to be shuffled on.

I heard there was a verbal mess-up between Klopp and Lampard during the match. F-bombs and "This is the only title you've won here" type of stuff... Lampard lost the head after a foul went against Chelsea .... basically the loss puts Chelsea's chances of Champions League football on ice until their final game against Wolves.He was just being childish. Yes, and Liverpool scored from that free kick which made things worse for Chelsea. Well, they still have the FA Cup final against Arsenal. Do you get a passage into Europe by winning that title? And what a beautiful free kick it was! Trent Alexander-Arnold is a bit special, that boy.

Yes, but into the Europa League. Chelski want to be in the Champions League, so they've got to beat Wolves. C'mon, Wolverhampton!

"Closing Time" is a great song! It's got that bittersweet melancholy to it, in a rockin' tempo. Great one-hit-wonder artifact.

"Killing in the Name" ("F*** you/ I won't do what you tell me!") So great for an angry young man. Night Ranger -- Dawn Patrol

There's plenty of guitar on Power Windows! There's, like, layers, man! Bastille Day and Lakeside Park are probably in my 20-30 range, but I've got at least three tracks from PW in the top 20.

I'll be watching and rooting for Comet Neowise to strike! It looks like a freebie/no expectation season for my teams, so I'm just in it for the lulz, probably. If the Cardinals or Royals find a way to get it going at the right time, though, I reserve the right to claim I could see it happening all along. Can't root for the Yankees, so let's go Nats. And then the Giants. Yeah, I was surprised Pittsburgh pulled out of the deal; Buffalo, then?

I see the Islanders have sealed a deal for arena sponsorship with UBS; that should plink some coins into the coffers and please our fearless leader 'round here.

Leeds and West Brom up for next year; I hope Fulham join them.

Aw, crap; more polling with too many excellent choices. Okay, "Achilles Last Stand," then. But honorable mention to the Aces, High and of Spades. (and I'll always love "Available Light"!)

I've always had a sneaky preference for "Out on the Tiles." Just such a good rocker. "We've had four already, and now we're steady, so . . ." Although I gotta tell you, when "Immigrant Song" comes on in Thor: Ragnarok, I couldn't help but smile like an idiot and bang my head.

Still loving the bluesy stuff, so this one is "Bring It On Home." Great album closer. No bad pick here, though.

"When the Levee Breaks" -- so big, so full; it's like a blues tank rolling over the listener.
