SONG OF THE DAY (3/16/2025): It took me two weeks to find out we lost Angie Stone to a car crash. If there's an afterworld, I hope she finds Prince and performs this for all the souls in it. RIP, Angie.

Maybe this is because I've been watching two games most of the night, but why is there a #Louisville player wearing a Hannibal Lecter mask? #Duke #ACCFinal

Khaman Maluach had looked much stronger tonight than he did in Chapel Hill a week ago, especially on the boards. This is more the player we've been expecting this season for #Duke.

My general sporting disdain for the city of Louisville is turned up to 11 right about now. #LOUvNC #NWSL #Duke #ACCFinal

Imagine a medical staff worse than Everton FC's. Of course, James Dolan was footing the bill for it.

ESPN reporting that Cooper Flagg's ankle X-rays were negative, which is, of course, a positive. Whether he returns to the #ACCTournament remains to be seen. Not many ballers get away with an ankle turn like that make it back. #Duke

SONG OF THE DAY (3/12/2025): Showing a little love to DJ Premier today. Even his throwaway beats were absolute head-nodders.

I presume he means the former planet and not a dressed-up waiter during a future trip to Disney World. Either way, damn. #MLB (Source: @theathletic.bsky.social, The Windup newsletter)

It's been the Challenge Cup In Name Only since we won it the second time. It's a Community Shield now, and there should be a demarcation line for this. #NWSL #CTID

SONG OF THE DAY (3/9/2025): @theathletic.bsky.social had a piece in their Pulse newsletter today about how the Pittsburgh Pirates are wasting Paul Skenes' talent because cheapskate owner Bob Nutting won't pay to build a team around him. Made me think of the last time the Bucs won the World Series:

Tomorrow the clock goes back to where it should be. We made it. Here is me at 7:30 each evening, enjoying what 7:30 pm should always look like

SONG OF THE DAY (3/8/2025): #Duke wins in Chapel Hill. What else would I play?

Leave Maliq Brown out there the rest of the way. He's been a game-changer on D, and those treys are gravy. #Duke

Game of runs. #Duke #UNC

Khaman Maluach needs to sit for a bit. He's not playing well tonight, committing too many turnovers and generally flailing out there. #Duke

UNC got another opportunity with Flagg's 3rd foul. Actually took advantage of it this time with a 10-0 run.

#Duke was up 3 on #UNC when Cooper Flagg was called for his 2nd foul and went to the bench. Five minutes of gameplay later, Duke is up 14.

I will never forget seeing thousands of Rose City Riveters go dead silent when Jess McDonald scored in that final. It was glorious. #CTID #NWSL

Jessie Mac is a wonderful human being and was an absolute terror in front of goal when she played for the Courage. She deserves this, and I can't wait to help her celebrate it. #CourageCountry #CTID #NWSL

SONG OF THE DAY (3/6/2025): Let's continue the classic chill vibe I went with yesterday...

SONG OF THE DAY (3/5/2025): Something chill for the day after a party...

ALL HAIL THE SCORPION QUEEN

SONG OF THE DAY (3/4/2025): Come on, what else would it be? If you're not in NOLA, go find a #MardiGras party in your town tonight.

Terrible joke heard at a party tonight: What is a Pirate's favorite letter? A letter from the GM saying he just got traded to the Dodgers.

So who were they, #Spotify? Why won't you let me reach out to them and thank them? And why do you want my penny so badly?

Tonight's #PokemonGo raids: Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus.

SONG OF THE DAY (2/24/2025): Just throwing this one up here because I enjoyed making it.

SONG OF THE DAY (2/23/2025): Went to a food truck rodeo in downtown Durham this afternoon. If the DJ hadn't been bumping 80s and 90s R&B all afternoon, this is the vibe I would have heard in my head.

SONG OF THE DAY (2/22/2025): A close friend of mine got this guy to play at his birthday party. Given how much I remember it costing to book his band 10 years ago, this is a damn good get.

Forty-five years ago today: The Miracle on Ice game between the United States and Soviet Union at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. Feb, 22, 1980.

SONG OF THE DAY (2/21/2025): If you ever doubt the sheer power of music, just remind yourself that 3 decades ago, Sarah McLachlan killed a man with this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ityd...

Dear NBA: Time to ditch the All-Star Game for an international tournament. Sincerely, Everyone who just watched the 4 Nations Face-Off Final.

SONG OF THE DAY (2/18/2025): "The years teach you something the days never knew..."

9 years ago this week. #NeverForget #GoDuke

For those of you who miss Dave's Lounge, my old music podcast, I've re-upped with Mixcloud Pro today, which has allowed me to re-share all episodes from 2014-2017, all yearbook episodes going back to 2008, and number of my live DJ mixes from various fusion dances. Enjoy.

SONG OF THE DAY (2/17/2025): You might not have ever heard this trip hop gem, but to me, this is legendary.

SONG OF THE DAY (2/16/2025): Took my boy to the kid's museum. We ended up at the painting window. First thing he grabbed was the squeegee, and now all I hear in my head is this:

How many Robux did David Moyes have to pay to unlock Beto? #Everton #EFC #EPL

SONG OF THE DAY (2/14/2025): Reminder: Valentine's Day is a Christian appropriation of Lupercalia, a Roman fertility festival involving werewolves, blood, and sex. So be sure to wish all your loved ones a Happy Horny Werewolf Day today. music.youtube.com/watch?v=lh0w...

SONG OF THE DAY (2/13/2025): Before #Prince fired the Revolution in 1986, they recorded this version of Strange Relationship. I like this one a little better than what ended up on Sign O' The Times.
