Currently obsessed with...

1. Dub records.
Not the old school 'real' dub whatever that's supposed to mean. I like the more contemporary electronica sounds. What can I say? I'm a poser and a Johnny come lately, but I like what I like.

2. Doctor Who.
The BBC re-boots. Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, etc...

3. Taking naps all day while "working from home".
Why didn't I think of this sooner? I could have been doing this for years even when I had to go into the office. There's always a place to hide for an hour or so. Sad I wasted all these years not making the most of the work day.

4. Trolling idiots on the Breitbart Facebook site.
I find it relaxing and quite satisfying to ridicule stupid MAGAtards in their home base. Crawling under people's skin can be very therapeutic.

5. Drinking way too much Sugar Free Red Bull.
Only problem is that it often interferes with my morning nap(s). Which is why I usually drink it the evening right after my wake up coffee.

6. Michael Crichton
His sci fi/thriller stuff is the bees knees. Andromeda Strain may just be my favorite. I have to watch West World in its entirety.

Letterboxd. It's kinda like a cross between IMDB and Discogs (without the sell/buy aspect). A great way to track the watch movies I'm watching and the movies I'm buying. If you use it, let's be friends! I'm scannest over there too.

Have you checked out High Disciple?

I've seen them twice and the record gets a good amount of play

Live Dub band featuring Chris Daly on drums (108, Texas is the Reason, Jets to Brazil)

1. Waiting for the Mets to play their first regular season game.
2. The 76ers playing well and looking to be heading to the playoffs with a high seed.
3. UNC finding their next basketball coach which will only be their 5th coach in my lifetime.
4. Figuring out why Carter Hart sucks and has buried the Flyers season.
5. Watching Steelers free agent moves, mock draft picks, and salary cap.
6. Figuring out what is causing the abdomen muscle spams in my wife after having her gallbladder removed and causing severe pain.
7. Planning siteseeing, BBQ/Nashville hot chicken eating, and brewery drinking for a trip to Mississippi, Memphis, and Nashville in April.
8. Retirement planning.

I didn't know you were a fan. I was fortunate enough to attend homecoming weekend there in 2003 because my partner at the time is an alum and it was her class' 10th anniversary. I'm assuming you know what Midnight Madness is? The entire city basically shuts down that afternoon. Chapel Hill is amazing for other reasons, too, though.

Anyway, beyond Dean Smith his successor Roy Williams, I haven't followed them much, so I don't even know who the other ones are since then without looking it up but I always say rock chalk Jayhawk and go Heels from that experience. From what I know about him, Dean seemed like one of the world's greatest humans. I love him a lot. RIP.

1. Ozark (we just finished season 3 and are looking forward to season 4 starting)
2. Curb Your Enthusiasm (in season 6 now)
3. Shudder to Think - I've always loved the Dischord era stuff and have been revisiting it as well, but I also now have a newfound love for 50,000 B.C.; I always dug it; now I think it might be their masterpiece or one of them
4. Lungfish
5. Dalgona coffee - the perfect morning picker upper; I tried a recipe for it the other day and I've made it 3 days in a row now; super easy and super tasty
6. My homemade fake not really Bolognese sauce
7. Alone Together - Funny sitcom on Hulu that is better than I expected

So...yes, I recognize the name and I know some house and Drum and Bass artists in the song list. At first glance its most likely something that I will like. I see it on Spotify. Checking it out.

Yes. I think volume 1 and 2 are both good. Haven’t listened in a while but used to be in heavy rotation

I also recommend “see mi yah” by rhythm and sound
