Artist: Noah Kahan
Album: Stick Season
It's weird- I don't dislike Kahan's album. I bet he'd be great live, but there's a sameness and a blandness to his music. He's kind of Mumford and Sons-ish, kind of the 2010's folkie, kind of Don McLean. If I wanted to hear more, there's a whole slew of bonus tracks. As of now, though, I'm not eager to hear too much more.
First up:
The National
Debut Album: The National, 2001
How would I describe it?
Pretty earnest stuff with good instrumentals. "Theory of the Crows" is kind of unbearable. Just feels kind of mopey.
Verdict: Not really enough here to make me want to listen to another record.

I thought Luck and Strange was ok. It's always good to hear David Gilmour's voice and guitar. There were two standout tracks, the title and The Piper's Call. An OK listen. Liked it better than Hanseroth Twins.
Beginning in 2009, the lower 48 states will be represented in a full-season baseball league.
It's a 48 team league split into eight six-team divisions. The division winners and four wildcards will make the playoff tournament. Updates will frequently be posted here during the season and tournaments. The aim is to have two seasons per month.
End of May update:
Division Leaders
Wildcards:
Many teams tied for the wild cards
The first album for the Hanseroth Twins without Brandi Carlile. It's a well-crafted album, but mostly downcast. Maybe a couple of upbeat tunes would mix it up. Nice cover of "A Little Respect".
Current Record: 9-10
2.5 games back of Cincy and St Louis
Status:
We have the first crisis of the season, as the bullpen has faltered repeatedly in the last few games. Axford in particular is off to a dreadful start and lost the closer job. Hawkins has assumed the job with 8 scoreless innings. Four relievers have ERAs over 5.00. The offense is off to a great start.
Next up:
Series at home against Astros.
