I play music sometimes, lately mostly at Kraken or Mariners games. Opinions my own, etc, etc.

I guess if there was ever a game to break this one out, it was at tonight's versus the Flames (Buddy's team in the song) with *checks notes* 18 penalties totalling 67 penalty minutes and 3 game misconducts across both teams?

So this is from a few weeks ago but it's been a busy summer and I haven't gotten around to much internet-ing. Anyway, shout out to @nikostratis.com whose phenomenal work I've been really enjoying this summer and who reminded me of the formative role Yankee Hotel Foxtrot had in my life

Alright, it's Saturday night, the Seattle OGs know that means one thing: Almost Live! (The theme to which, especially the second version in later seasons, absolutely rips). (My research skills weren't able to find who wrote or recorded it, so if anyone knows, hit me up)

For anyone local to Seattle, I'm part of Seattle Rock Lottery 14 to help support the Vera Project, if you want to see me play some music not at a hockey game, roll though! (Code 'LOTTO' should get you $14 off tix) dice.fm/event/ww5xex...

Lots of folks nowadays talkin bout the fate of Ophelia, forgetting The Band was putting in the hard work way back in '75 asking where she'd gone. (Penned by Robbie Robertson whose family, like the Kraken's own Brandon Montour, hails from Six Nations, fitting for Indigenous Peoples Night in The Deep)

Also a while back someone requested 'All Caps' by Madvillain so here's that (Perhaps a bit on the jaunty side, but sometimes fitting stuff between a whistle and the puck drop requires a little creative license)

50 years and 1 day ago, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew went down in Lake Superior off the shores of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 49 years and 11 months ago, Gordon Lightfoot recorded a song about it. Today seemed as good an occasion as any to play it on an organ at a hockey game.

You can take the boy out of Chicagoland but you can't take the love of Chance the Rapper out of the boy. Always try to rep some Chano when the Blackhawks are in town (In this case 'Tree' and via the hook on this one, 'Video' by India.Arie)
