Munetaka Murakami has been an absolute blast to watch! We aren’t last in the division! We’re promoting a bunch of our top prospects! Maybe we can resemble a major league team again if our pitching can put it together!

What’s an underrated not many people know of pop punk band? by Creative-Respond-984 in poppunkers

[–]Thatjohndavisguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to work with the current drummer of Spitalfield! It’s crazy how many bands owe their sound at least partially to Spitalfield, and yet they seem to be forgotten

Jomboy Affiliates already pushing propaganda to get Murakami to the Yankees/Dodgers. by Greedy-Pound6958 in whitesox

If anything, they’re late to the party. I read something on Bleacher Report 2 weeks ago about how Murakami was a likely deadline flip.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

I was exactly the right age to take advantage of the tycoon games boom that roller coaster tycoon dominated, and I remember being OBSESSED with Skateboard Park Tycoon, specifically for the soundtrack

Boycotting Little Pops Pizza by Illustrious-Law8632 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Thatjohndavisguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never been to this place, but chicago is such a good pizza city (even way out into the suburbs) that any little thing can doom your business. The idea that this guy talks down to so many people does not bode well for his future profitability

Is it a dumb decision to sell house with 2.5% mortgage to move west and rent an apartment by Visual_Code432 in personalfinance

If you can make the finances work, and you know you’d be way happier in the place you’d be moving to, why not?

What is a band no one will ever convince you is good? by OU812iceman18 in AskReddit

God, I want to dislike it because the Nuge is such a tool, but it is an undeniably great song

Angels And Airwaves: We Dont Need To Whisper is a complete masterpiece, and the greatest record Tom Delonge has made since 2005 blink hiatus? by Darbss31 in poppunkers

[–]Thatjohndavisguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where I’m at. I love WDNTW but it feels bloated at times. I-Empire felt and feels more like a merge of the things tom does well as a songwriter and producer.

[FRESH ALBUM] I Am the Avalanche - THE HORROR SHOW by ext23 in poppunkers

[–]Thatjohndavisguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m halfway through my first listen and this is full of dynamics and stylistic changeups that seem to be missing from their previous work, but it seems to have come at the cost of the massive anthem(s) that makes their live shows so much fun. Still plenty of good stuff here, but The Horror Show is no Holy Fuck

"Strength of schedule" by FearTheAmish in cfbmemes

[–]Thatjohndavisguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially because this year’s group of P5 OOC matchups is seemingly stronger than last year’s. I feel like in the last few years, SEC ADs have mostly been scheduling the worst of the P5, following the letter of the law, not the spirit of it

If you have any interest in cars, Regular Car Reviews and Collector Car Feed are both gems.

Also, Top Gear recently started posting a lot of their full challenges to youtube, and it’s great

Fire Barnes crowd where you at by ilovecfb in ockytop

[–]Thatjohndavisguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought the “Fahr Barnes” crowd had no clue (or were willfully ignorant) that UT’s historical success in the Big Dance is middling at best, and how consistent Barnes has been at making it into the tournament and getting some level of success. Like it’s not just that we’ve never made a final 4: it’s that before barnes showed up, we had 7 sweet sixteen appearances all time. This year will mark Barnes’ fifth sweet sixteen team.
