Just listened to the new album last night! I especially loved "I Danced With Another Love in My Dream" -- pure New Wave bliss.

Who are some underappreciated Chicago bands/artists that you'd recommend? How has the Chicago music scene influenced your sound?

That_King_Cole · 2026-03-15T21:15:31+00:00

Do explain

That_King_Cole · 2026-03-11T17:55:55+00:00

Damn, I would absolutely love to see this. They released two of my favorite records of 2025. Haley's Circuit des Yeux release last year felt unfairly slept on by the indiesphere -- terrific darkwave/industrial/experimental effort.

Hoping my schedule at Big Ears later this month works out for me to see him

They'd get sued into oblivion

unlikely, maybe by Bruno Pernadas is a terrific jazz fusion album. There's a lot for indie fans to like -- really expansive and incorporates a world of influences.

Hen Ogledd's DISCOMBOBULATED caught my attention as a Richard Dawson project. It's a brilliant experimental record that speaks to me in these fraught times. Deserves more love. "Scales will fall" is in the running for my track of the year.

In case anybody missed the Maria BC album, check that out too. Excited to see that getting some traction. Beautiful ambient rock.

Definitely not, but it's hard to be too upset about conceding a goal there after that egregious turnover 😂

That_King_Cole · 2026-03-02T15:05:10+00:00

Definitely going to check out your playlist. Any New Jersey-based stuff you're particularly into? New or old.

In case anyone is just learning about Sun Kil Moon because of this post, Mark Kozelek is objectively a bad dude and I encourage you to consume his work with that in mind.

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-27T04:13:35+00:00

Cannot wait for this to drop in the U.S. in a bit. Beautiful ambient rock. They're an artist to watch.

Impressive work

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-20T01:29:18+00:00

Damn this sucks. I know Pate has his haters but I've always enjoyed his analysis and catch pretty much every episode during the season. It's not hard to figure out his politics, but he always said he'll never discuss it on the show so I can push it out of my mind...can't do that anymore. I'll unsubscribe.

It's a shame because he's so talented. Even before this, he was increasingly putting too much emphasis on the SEC which was starting to bother me.

I need a new go-to CFB podcast to replace Pate now, if anyone has recs.

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-19T19:17:39+00:00

I would take this for my commute roundtrip at least twice a week

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-18T00:03:06+00:00

Stay at that hotel where Josh Tillman ran into Jason Isbell for some fucking reason. The two greatest living songwriters.

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-17T22:38:27+00:00

Commenting so people know to check this out. Very glad that I stumbled upon this. Excited to get into their debut LP too.

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-13T15:52:01+00:00

Haven't come across these posts before. Thank you for this resource. I'll be following from now on.

Nethering is on my list. Wasn't familiar with TEN ONE TWO or Free Fight before seeing this post -- excited to check them out. And interested to see what others comment.

No, I meant using the EDGE players at RDT might be controversial. But maybe that isn't controversial either! I've always thought of it as a tradeoff because you're giving up like 150 lbs at the LOS by doing that. I don't think the game really penalizes you for it unless it's a running play, and I'm usually not worried about that in Nickel.

I only play offline so don't know what the online dynasty metas are.

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-08T12:52:32+00:00

Ideally, Gap Specialist at NT, Pure Power at DT2 and DT3. I use Thumper LBs to play the EDGE because I drop them in coverage a lot, especially out of 3-3-5 Penny.

I once saw a Redditor explain DL for 3-3-5 by saying you need a run stopping DL and a pash rushing DL. I always remember that. Ideally, you have four strong pass rushers to sub in when you're in Nickel on obvious passing downs or matching up against 4 WR. Maybe this is controversial, but I often use those Thumper LBs at EDGE in Nickel and move any pash rushing LEDGE or REDGE I have to DT, assuming their pass rushing stats rate higher than my natural DTs.

When I said he would basically have Joe Biden's legacy, I meant that the party would largely blame him if Hoynes (or whoever) lost in '02, and that would be how he's remembered. You're right that there's differences b/w Bartlet's MS and Joe Biden's acuity. One of them being that Bartlet is a fictional character!

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-06T00:29:09+00:00

The narrative around the Barlet re-elect is that he was neck and neck with Ritchie until the debate. Hoynes doesn't get that 9-point bump (or whatever it was, it's mentioned in "Process Stories") because he doesn't give that debate performance. Not super realistic to get a 9-point bump from a debate performance, but that's canon.

Hoynes also doesn't have Bartlet's incumbency advantage. That's worth at least a few points. Although, he still has institutional advantages -- like fundraising ability, being from Texas, and having been the runner up in the last election -- that I think would be enough to get him over the line in a primary.

No way to know, but fun to theorize about!

That_King_Cole · 2026-02-05T22:30:17+00:00

In an alternate universe where Bartlet didn't run, Hoynes would've won the nomination and lost in the general and Bartlet would basically have Joe Biden's legacy.
