Well, this has to be one of the best pop songs that was ever made and the lyrics are so easy to relate, everyone has been through it.

A Billy Stings video! I'm not a bluegrass guy but I LOVE jam music and have been hearing Billy's name a lot. Def a talented dude.

You should check out Goose if you're not familiar

Two albums I've been listening to a lot lately. First is a shape of sound by opiuo. Very upbeat, high energy stuff. Great for lifting, running or turning up with your friends. Here's my favorite track off of it.

Next is "Welcome to Tripp St" by Tripp St. This is more downtempo / spacey / trip hop type stuff. Here's a song off the album and I'll add that with both these albums you really need some sort of speaker with bass. My work laptop speakers do not cut it.

Dahmer doc was good and I'm not into serial killers the way other people are. Obviously it's a heavy show to watch but I was glad I did.

Spoiler:

Sad to see how he tried to reach out to his parents multiple times and they ignored them and then how that ate away (pardon the pun ) at his father (as it should) once the whole story broke loose. Glad he ended up 6' under though. He definetly doesn't deserve to be breathing air. Seeing him kill the deaf dude was the saddest part for me. One glimmer of hope or so the show made it seem but killers gonna kill I guess.

Yeah, definitely heavy. One of my curiosities is I went to school in Wisconsin from '91-'94 and one of my English professors lived in the building next door to him. Said he'd see him from time to time and said he'd just say hello and he was very reserved. Crazy to think I was an hour from that nut (Sheboygan).

Also, started Devil in Ohio, which has been solid so far. Only 4 episodes in.

House of the Dragon... Hopefully she will win me over but I was disappointed in the new (older) Rhaenyra. I wasn't very familiar with Milly Alcock but I thought she was amazing as young Rhaenyra and brought some real star power to the screen. She had a magnetic spirit about her that made me interested in the character. She and Matt Smith were the stars of the show for me.

The new gal is just boring in comparison and she doesn't seem like a badass dragon rider who is in line to take the throne. Doesn't even seem like the same character. I'm still into the show but I feel like it lost talent and a level of overall spark and interest overnight.

I liked it, but haven't been able to get past the 2nd episode. I don't know if it is the show, or I have a lot going on. I am sure will get to it at some point.

I have only watched the first series of Game of Thrones (and none of House of the Dragon), but for anyone else who has read the books, do we think Winds of Winter will ever be released? I have my doubts to be honest. And I can see why, with the TV series going past the fifth book and stealing the thunder of any of his big plot reveals, Martin may have lost the desire to finish it and keep working on these other projects instead.

I watched that too. Similar vibe. Heavy but enlightening and keeps your attention.

Spin-offs like these seem like a money grab more than anything else to me. Also the fact that the last season sucked didn’t help. They got 7 season out of it. It was a good run.

Young actress was great. But remember, older version is in a very precarious position with a Queen who has it out for her and her children by extension. There were moments of her being badass during that meeting but she has to couch it to an extent. I personally feel like Allicent’s turn from friend to hater was far too abrupt and way too severe and THAT is what is turning me off a bit. She went from disgusted by her maybe sleeping with her uncle then when it turns out she slept with her guardsman instead which isn’t as big of a deal she loses it and now wants her dead? Very unrealistic imo

Don't forget that some of these changes are considered an evolution over time. Many years in fact with this most recent time jump. So I can see it with Alicent. If she feels like nobody has been in her corner over the last decade...

I was ready for it to be a crappy money grab but I've really been enjoying it. Honestly I think it pulled me in even faster than GOT.

The last episode was just jarring because 10 years had passed and suddenly two of the main characters were being played by different actresses. And my initial take is one of them is a substantial downgrade. But others seems to think she's fine and have more issue with the other one. So I dunno haha, maybe we all just need to reserve judgment for a few more weeks.

I will watch HOD but was in no rush. The way things ended on GOT really make my desire to see more of that universe pretty small tbh. I’ve heard really good things and plan on binging season 1 soon now that’s it’s almost done but in the back end of my mind I’ll probably always say

“Yeah but all this **** just leads to that at the end”

I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world..... mad world

Have had this song in my head all week and it's really a great tune. Most popular version of the song above. Below is a version by one of my favorite bands. Much more uptempo below with a dancy 4 on the floor beat / jam to open and a ripping guitar solo to close it out
