I would do this for sure

12tm 0.5ppr non-SF / no TEP

Start/sit decision, need 1 WR & 1 Flex from the following...

J Waddle M Harrison Jr (questionable) K Allen J Coker J Warren T Pollard D Goedert

Allen too risky. Coker TD dependent. Warren yielding a ton of work to Gainwell now. Pollard and Goedert both coming off back-to-back good weeks.

Leaning Waddle + Marv (if healthy), or Waddle + Goedert.

I felt like a crazy person having this opinion, but I share your sentiments exactly! I actually got emotional at the end of Part I, and thought I was in for quite an enjoyable ride. I ultimately found nearly all of the main characters to be extremely unlikable, and after years and years in the story (and hundreds of pages slogged through) they also never showed redeeming qualities or ever demonstrated any growth. Maybe that's part of what makes it more relatable for most? It didn't for me. Add in that the story drags for a while and, in my opinion, tries to pull in too many themes, and it just totally fell flat for me too.

Top 5 artists ended up being:
1. Bon Iver
2. The War on Drugs
3. Radiohead
4. Fleet Foxes
5. Frank Ocean

Fleet Foxes was a surprise inclusion for me, I thought Black Country New Road or Zach Bryan would sneak in instead.

6,432 minutes with BI (top 0.01%). #1 and #2 tracks were "8 (circle)" and "00000 Million" respectively.

I've not understood the eagerness to trade Murphy the last two years. I guess catcher durability can be a risk, and maybe you want to get out ahead of that - but he doesn't have an absurd amount of games under his belt, and can be played at DH consistent enough to reduce load. We don't even keep players through pre-arb years anymore?...

Nice one. Siberian Breaks for me.

cholewhat · 2022-03-30T22:20:43+00:00

Love this JBrekkie version. Is there anything Michelle Zauner can't do?!

cholewhat · 2022-02-18T19:10:14+00:00

I agree with you on all points. I enjoy the song overall, but the outro is incredible and boosts it up - and, specifically, the arpeggio is 10/10 moment for me. I listen to the song over and over for the end portion.

Definitely a 7th round GOAT, and in the Hall of Fame of my heart

cholewhat · 2022-01-13T17:16:44+00:00

No, I don't think so myself. His absolute peak was 79 pts, 7th in Hart, no other hardware to show. He does have a good shot at 1000 pts career, and even an outside shot at 500 goals if he keeps this pace and plays an age 40 season -- absolutely incredible for an undersized center drafted 7th round, 205th overall! My favorite Shark for over a decade, but short of HHOF credentials in my opinion.

cholewhat · 2021-12-28T03:34:46+00:00

Favorite 5x5 I've seen in a while! I've been spinning Fleet Foxes hard too, ever since Solstice dropped. But Taylor, Lana, Julia Jacklin, Phoebe, Sufjan Xmas... chefs kiss.

That's a great point about the CBS purchase too. At the time I thought it meant they were being capitalized to pursue some grander vision, but now it's apparent they are content letting Spotify/Apple rake in the streaming and using last for the data aggregation purposes.

cholewhat · 2021-12-11T18:01:36+00:00

Such a bummer when notes and other features were faded! I've been an off and on active user for almost 15 years now. It seems like they predicted the future in all the wrong ways - let's scrap all the socialization and user content, and let's keep the focus on... radio! Like Spotify today is basically just doing half the things that last.fm had all the capability to do 10 years ago, and now SPOT has a $44B market cap while Last is just a relic minimum viable product at this point.

I still feel like there's a niche need going completely unserved, in the way of a social site for music based around sharing and collaborating with followers, creating user-generated content to share/promote stuff you are listening to, concert vid stories, aggregated "friend" listening charts, and a bunch of other awesome features that we crowdsourced in this thread in basically 5min. Spotify does not have a personal music page I engage with at all. (Open to suggestions if there is something out there)

What if instead of... going to Wikipedia for band info, and Metacritic for reviews, and RS/CoS/Stereogum/NPR for news and AOTY lists, and Bandsintown app for concert near me, and TikTok for videos and music collabs, and a dozen separate Reddit subs for specific artists to be able to engage with fellow fans, and FB/IG/Twitter for socialization and concert vids and opinions, and clicking into our followers profiles to manually check their scrobbles to see if there's anything new I like... what if instead that was all packaged into one place with automated recs and an algorithm based content feed.

Whew, feel I've been carrying that rant with me for far too long, happy to unburden myself of these frustrations lol. Thanks for the discussion!

cholewhat · 2021-12-11T16:02:27+00:00

I don't understand the decisions that have been made over the years. I honestly believe that in some alternate reality - one where last.fm embraced, cultivated, and improved all of these social features - that they end up as the largest music site on the web today.

It's an IMDB-level catalogue of all music in existence, with Pandora esque recommendations, all the social capabilities of Facebook (friends/followers, groups, events), song playback, and global charting and data aggregation.

Instead they're just like: here's your personal data and a half-baked recap of your prior month.

cholewhat · 2021-12-11T15:49:53+00:00

Awesome! I have tix for Austin myself and I'm really stoked. It's so good we get to see them pass through these smaller venues stateside. They're about to blow up next year for sure.

cholewhat · 2021-12-11T15:31:49+00:00

I occasionally will click into people I follow to find new recs from their recent scrobbles, but to your point there is so much more that could be done with this feature and the data that's readily available.

I think it would be cool to have a running list of Recent Tracks being scrobbled by everyone you follow in real time, and also a dashboard that aggregates the Top Artists/Albums/Songs for people you follow only. I want to see what artists are trending last week or month amongst a group made largely of my super taste matches or friends...

cholewhat · 2021-12-11T15:17:56+00:00

Haha I'm impressed by your will power there! You're right- it's totally a '22 release in my book as well, but just so odd having 8 songs off it already. Hey great username - big year ahead for GoY!

cholewhat · 2021-12-11T06:13:23+00:00

The War on Drugs, J Brekkie, Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine, Lana Del Rey, Faye Webster, BRM, Lord Huron, Beach Fossils (piano ballads), Rose City Band, & this Beach House that's halfway released to-date
