I remember a while back, BC was playing the first/second round NCAA in Milwaukee. They wouldn’t pay to send their band so Marquette’s band played in BC shirts that they sent over, then they had to send the shirts back. Bush league stuff.

Two longtime announcers were fired and were given a truly crazy explanation for their firing. Boston College ignored emails from us all day and then shorty after publishing, farted out a non-denial word salad. awfulannouncing.com/college-bask...

Vinyl of the day: Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers-Buhaina, 1973. This iteration of The Messengers includes Woody Shaw on trumpet, Carter Jefferson on tenor, Cedar Walton on piano, and Mickey Bass on bass. Features Moanin’ and A Chant For Bu, which is the opening sample on The Low End Theory.

Vinyl of the day: AC⚡️DC-Fly On The Wall, 1985. Reached #32 and was one of the worst received albums by the group. Had no charting US singles, but Shake Your Foundation isn’t bad.

My wife is from west central Illinois. Her brother still lives there and has a medium thick southern accent. When my wife is there she absolutely speaks with a slight accent. I had to record her once because she didn’t believe me.

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you
