20 episodes seems like a lot for the book, and Craig seems a little old for the role. Still very interested though.

TV on the Radio - A Method
Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates (LIVE)
Regina Spektor - Laughing With
The White Stripes - The Union Forever
Frightened Rabbit - December's Traditions

In the last third of Money by Martin Amis which is simultaneously hilarious and unpleasant. I'll be happy to be done.

No Podmass this week?

Murray wasn't really a third stringer in the traditional sense. He was a hot prospect completely dominating the AHL the last year and a half, but staying down there because it was better for his development than riding the pine as Fleury's backup. When Fleury was hurt in December he was already splitting the starts…

I'm really psyched for that Moonface album, not surprised it didn't make the cut here though. Heartbreaking Bravery was criminally overlooked.

Incidentally I just picked up former Grantland writer Ben Lindbergh's book from the library, The Only Rule Is It Has to Work, about running an independent league baseball team based on radical analytics. Highly recommended.

What a great album. I had always liked her in Arcade Fire because I loved the string parts and frankly she is super cute, but it's been cool to see she's really talented on her own too. Her album with Colin Stetson from last year was great too.

I finished Uncharted 4 last week after a 3 night marathon. Felt much longer than the previous entries since there was so much room to wander around and look for notes and journals and stuff. Not a huge gamer so this doesn't carry a lot of weight but it was probably my favorite game of all time. Ending was perfect.

I've been lobbying for a Chrome extension to block all Ghostbusters takes but doesn't seem to be gaining much traction.

I had a good laugh at the headline on one of the music sites yesterday.

The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations
Sunset Rubdown - Trumpet, Trumpet, Toot! Toot!
Okkervil River - Calling and Not Calling My Ex
Titus Andronicus - No Future Part V: In Endless Dreaming
Blur - Bank Holiday

That reveal about him doing his hour commute to work with no radio or music on in the car was pretty unnerving too.

That episode of Doughboys made me rock hard and also made me shit myself.

Reading Money by Martin Amis at the moment. It's good and blackly funny but so aggressively unpleasant that it's a bit tough to get through.

Umm, no? I've never read the books. I suppose I got the proper name from online discussion osmosis, but the tower was shown in a scene earlier this season.

I liked the Asian one that briefly showed up last season better, guessing they couldn't get the actress back. She had a creepy vibe.

Ooh good call, the timing of the reunion based on the probable filming schedule is more than a little suspicious.

The real tragedy here is the Three Eyed Raven dying before he showed Bran the full Tower of Joy

I just finished Uncharted 4 which at the moment feels like my favorite thing to ever exist. I just love those characters so much and they got such a fantastic farewell. And it was really fun and gorgeous too obviously.
