I ended up getting promoted from rhythm guitarist to frontman of my high school band when they realized I was good at screaming because a dude and I were messing around on a cover of For Want Of towards the end of practice.

I'm not surprised by this. It was immediately obvious that KBM wasn't gonna be the same without the massive amount of support and sponsorship partners Toyota poured into that team. I just knew that Kyle Busch couldn't have been happy going from battling for championships to employing mid-level pay drivers like Chase Purdy or not even mid-level in Jack Wood, the economics of running that team just totally changed overnight even though they were still building quality equipment.

I'll be excited to see what Spire is looking like next year with a 3 car team with serious sponsorship backing, all the tools to be the top performing Chevy team in the Truck series, maybe continuing to dabble at the Xfinity level now that they own a chassis manufacturing company. After years coasting in the back, they are really shooting their shot at multiseries relevancy

Wish I had the kind of money that can buy an Indycar seat with the best team after only managing to finish 10th in Indy NXT points and 6th of HMD.

Whenever I'm feeling particularly anxious or depressed, this is one of the first songs I go to.

Tbh, it makes the announcement a while back that they would no longer be employing pay drivers a lot less impressive if they just eliminate a car rather than take one on. If those were the two choices, I would have just hired David Malukas, he's a much better driver than Devlin or the other young drivers with budget.

One of my favorite opening lines in any song I've ever listened to, hooks you immediately.

The other day while talking to a friend I compared somebody else's music to Buffalo Tom, and then said "I fully recognize I'm probably the only person who cares about Buffalo Tom", so thank you for proving me wrong.

The first Cramps song I ever heard early in my teens, I was instantly hooked.

My stepfather, who I adored, was an instant huge fan of Death to Smoochy after it came out on home video and would often sing the line "Stepdad's Not Mean He's Just Adjusting"

Omg, how did I not know as the hardest of hardcore Bright Eyes fans that this exists? Great cover(s).

I don't think the selection of films really justifies the price, but the book and teleplays and bonus features are very cool if you love Cushing (which I do).

This song is great and this album is one I feel like far too many people overlook. As a huge Nebraska fan, I'm down for any time The Boss wants to strip down and get all acoustic on our asses, and while it isn't as great as Nebraska it is still easily my favorite 90s Springsteen album and high on my list of favorite E Street Band-less albums.

 

Hypnotic and soulful.

 

I know Benjamin Pedersen is second-to-last in points of the full-time drivers as a rookie, but it seems that when the team itself has put together a good package he doesn't drastically underperform the pace in at least qualifying and doesn't seem to be as badly off the pace as Dalton Kellett was (goodbye my leftist king).

However, Santino Ferrucci has been a clear step up in consistent pace over the lead Foyt car for the last couple of seasons and is even knocking on the door to a top 15 spot.

I really doubted Larry Foyt's leadership of the team because for a long time they really got worse each year until reaching their nadir last year, but they really seem to be willing to put in the effort and a bit more money into the program to turn things around, and putting two cars in the top 12 on a road course is a huge step forward I think. What do you think, are they turning the page?

 

Will has rarely been known to hold his tongue when he's upset, but rarely has it gotten to saying somebody should be punched in the face, lol.

 

Not the first time even this season Conor Daly has dabbled in stock car racing, but it is the first time since he became a free agent whose chances at getting more than oval rides in the future seem to be dwindling in Indycar.

Niece has long been a place for misfit drivers other teams probably wouldn't take a chance on, I wonder if Conor would consider a more frequent NASCAR gig?

 

I thought that this article was a very thorough account of how RFK Jr isn't a real left-leaning alternative to Biden even if you can look past the anti-vax stuff which alone should be enough to give pause. Reeks of right-wing plant.
