I liked this one, actually got to see a bit. Not predictable, yet it was: the breakway made it. Not sad to see Alaphilippe not win, but starting to feel for him a bit as well. Must be hard riding around with a 125.000EUR watch.
Oh well, guess he deserved it.

Anyway, TT tomorrow let's see how that works out. I am hoping G will actually come out of his shell.

Ascension day, national holiday over here and took tomorrow of for a 4 day stretch. That was quite a while ago!

Of course a trip to the record store later today because: why not?

Forecast is fantastic so looking forward to some outdoor time.

Going nowhere fast first 3 attempts. Went another way for line 4 and that worked.

Producer and musician, dead at 61. A legend? Probably. Check his cv if you don't know who he is.

This man refused to 'take points', aka he refused to take a percentage of the earnings of the record he produced because he did not want to take away from the artist. He always worked for a flat fee, depending on the band and budget he'd set the price. Could have been a millionaire but decided he wanted to be just happy working in music.

Managed to see the finale today. Wonderful, the big teams were, late, too late. I bet there will be harsh words tonight.

Well done Benjamin Thomas!

Wife fell off her horse, literally 
Fortunately she has an AirVest, so she's OK, except for a sore bum.

It happens, I know, it's part of the game, I know. I have done enough stupid stuff that was way more dangerous than this. So be it.

30 mins.
tried out every combination until one stuck. I have not looked it up yet, but am unfamiliar with the word.

That clip was all over Headbangers Ball if I recall correctly. My soon to be girlfriend (now wife) bought the cd off of the lead single and title track.
Jeff Waters is a hero.

Of course Tommy is a stone cold classic, perhaps the definitive concept album. And that means it has it drawbacks: everything should fall into place, the story needs to coincide with the music which means one or the other sometimes has be suited to tailor the needs of the other.
Having said that: I really like the album. Like, not Love.
Yes I think the concept is brilliant as is most of the music, the Overture is a grand entrance and it literally sets the tone. Like Underture it repeats many of the musical patterns the album displays. And therein, you said it already, lies the crux: it is all a bit much.
I don't consider it being a rock album at all, not of the rock opera albums really are. The variety of styles and the fat the story is leading makes for a less concise collection of songs. That particular collection, as it would be, was just around the corner.
Anyway, my favourite tracks here (of course) Pinball Wizard, Acid Queen, I'm Free and of course We're Not Gonna Take It with the See Me, Feel Me part being the obvious highlight.

It is to me a bit like the Wall: I can listen to it as a whole, but am happy when it's over.

One thing that the album brought out though: The Who toured it so extensively that they became the ultimate live band at the time. Not sure whether you'll cover live albums, (or at least just the one) but if ever there was one that deserves all the praise it gets, it's Live at Leeds. 

The last thing: ever since I heard it I have been a huge fan of the edit of Sparks for the movie Almost Famous. It combines Amazing Journey and Sparks and makes for a fantastic listen under 4 minutes of brilliant music.

Didn't see anything. Work, it takes up so much of my free time...

Anyway, good news today: Vingegaard is back in training and says he will do everything to make the TdF.

We're not in week 3 yet

It was a weird one, with a logical conclusion. But still, Pogi is trying t prove himself a bit too much. Last time he did that he lost the TdF.

OK just one then..

I am starting to like this guy, his very simple way of debunking the most tin foil YT characters is not just funny, it's also spot on.
Oh and most of them are shorts, which means the tin foilers attention span is not tested too much
