Summerpalooza VI: Return of the Rock Bands - And they say "He's in the Class A Team" (1 Viewer)

Uh, I don't listen to much that's new. But funny you should mention it -- I listened to the Zach Bryan album. I kind of dig it, but I'm not getting what all the fuss is about. I mean, his crowds seem a bit too into it for the talent level, which is certainly there but not like some people have had. I have not scoped Olivia Rodrigo's new one and don't expect to. PiL came out with a new album, but the first song was a slog, so I quit, which I really shouldn't do.

What did I listen to recently? I'm trying to remember. Michael by Killer Mike, which is good. I've also taken that opportunity (while I'm RTJ'ing) to really sit and listen to their first one, which I never really had or forgot how good it was. I missed an utter bomb of a track off of that album. I also rediscovered El-P's I'll Sleep When You're Dead, which is nice. I was doing that all in prep for our MAD II, which I sort of withdrew from but reserve the right to enter again if not too late.

I think between M.A.D. 1 and other things, I just haven't really listened.

Oh, I got a Trojan Records deluxe vinyl of Desmond Dekker, which I've certainly enjoyed on sunny days. It's pretty awesome.

And that's about it. How about you?
 
I'll be at the Ravens-Texans game getting drenched. My kids have been bugging me on and off, over the course of many years, to take them to an NFL game, and now that they're in their late twenties we're finally doing it.
Put your poncho on and have a great time, Zillers! :football:

Branford Marsalis Quartet - "Gloomy Sunday"


Going into week 1 with my first three picks on the bench. I've been playing fantasy football since the late 80s and I've never seen anything like this.

"Gloomy Sunday" is a Jazz standard based on a Hungarian Pop song of the 30s. The original Hungarian lyrics and English translation refer to ending it all so it's also become known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song". Billie Holiday's version is probably the most famous of the many versions but this 2004 recording by saxophonist Branford Marsalis is nice and gloomy.

Doesn’t look bad

The weather, not lamar jackson. Thanks for making me draft him everyone.

Yeah another case of systems dissipating as they hit the city, it was hot and muggy with very little rain. Sloppy game but we had a good time. Zay looks electric, OBJ didn't do much but he did induce a couple of defensive PIs

Lamar is not exactly Patty Mahomes out there, if we're being honest. Hopefully things start to click.
 
I didn't even see Juju in the game late, not sure if he got hurt, just sucks or was being a tool or what
 
Draft Dominator loved my draft. Got a A+ and have the highest average weekly score at 125.
I‘m so screwed. Guaranteed 14th place this year. Lol.

On a side note I’ve always wondered if DD rates the users draft higher. Would be interesting to compare notes across us with the app to see if it says the same things about our teams.
Mr. A+ draft flunked the test this week.

Song for winners

Dkp, you can’t listen to this

Lol. Well in fairness I did predict I was f’d with that grade.

He missed Andrews something fierce. The heartbreaking thing for those who care is JK.

Definitely. The downside to being at a game, I didn't even know the whole story on that until I got home.

If Gus can't hold up, Lamar's legs are in trouble
 
I've now won as many games as I won last year, and I think I beat our Australian/NY friend @Truebluey last time, too.

Here's looking at you, kid.

No, it's not the Energizer Bunny guy nor Crocodile Dundee, but it is Australian
Grats.
Love Radio Birdman. Good choice.

Had some good hits in my league (Flowers, Addison, ARich) and two misses, one a very sad one (Dobbins) and one a frustrating one (London). Could have drafted Aiyuk in that spot. Ugh!
 

I was more going for the 1-13 angle than I was gloating. I just remembered that it might have been you last time, too.

I can still achieve 1-13 this year if I just buckle down and make a ton of changes and roster moves (ask Eephus about me leading the league in moves every year, which I didn't last year...)

No no, I got it, lol. Funny. And a funny coincidence.
I need Kelce back ASAP.

The Chubbs are gonna win today!

Everybody needs a fight song! Even though Lou Holtz notoriously and unsuccessfully tried to get his professional team, the Jets, to sing fight songs in the seventies, we can do it here in Summerpalooza.

Calvin Austin III, WR, Steelers

Calvin Keys - "Shawn-Neeq"


Taking a flyer on a second year WR breakout for Austin III. Dionte Johnson's injury provides an opportunity. Also reacquired Kareem Hunt for another week because I'm committed to the bit.

Went with a kind of dubious Calvin song connection because all the Austin songs were Country. Calvin Keys is an underrated guitarist who's played in relative obscurity for over fifty years. This song is from his 1971 debut as a solo artist but his playing now in his early 80s is just as beautiful.

 
Changed my name as I was playing @rockaction and didn’t want to keep rubbing in my lucky win from last year. Also assumed fate would intervene and he’d either curb stomp me or beat me by .o-something.
