Here's a flash for ya:

The Cubs mascot mashup made me think about mashups in general. For example, Lawrence Welk doing Velvet Underground:

"I'll show you a thing or two about sitting on a rim."

New documentary on The Netflix about Big Star, Alex Chilton's old band. Who's Alex Chilton? He sang this with the one-hit wonder The Box Tops:

Only one thing matters tonight...

only comment section I've ever come across where nobody hurls insults back and forth with almost no provocation

Is there some sort of saying that would apply here? Maybe some suggestion that the residents of a city conduct themselves in a certain dignified manner? I'm drawing a blank.

In my day, we called it a first down, which was the style at the time.

Pink Flag is an all-time favorite! Hard to pick just one song from that one, isn't it?

The most fucked up part is that when you download the Sochi 2014 Mobile App, all you get is a package from Russia with a few feet of string, some dowel rods, and a bunch of fucking cardboard cut-outs of skiers and shit.

"This guy here, I like to call him E.T., because he loves Reese's Pieces and seems to have a lot of trouble phoning home!

We won't tell you they went on to become Cracker, who actually did have some great songs.

I keep this episode on DVR and play it the day pitchers and catchers report.

Great day in Deadspin history. Burke, March, Barry, etc- great job making this happen.

For one of the "smarter . . . guys in the league," you'd think Lopez would know that Bosh is on Miami now.

This song tickled my fancy today. I'll leave it up to y'all to figure out why.

I really cannot believe Lou Holz's voice is for real. It has to be some Pixar voice actor hiding behind the set or something. It's unbelievable.

I would also warn you about dismissing today's music. I was young once too and dismissed modern music as stupid and simplistic. I was totally into Queen and Supertramp and stuff and thought modernity just wasn't for me. Music finds a way, there are bands that you will love that might even be just as good as those…

Who is dismissing the Beach Boys as generic surf music? I've yet to meet anyone who thinks, "Oh, the Beach Boys, yeah just beach bum bullshit." Are these people in your life? Are you making things up? Inquiring mind(s)

And a Japanese song before I have to call it a night. It was only in the last month or so that I found out what he was singing. Always liked the song anyway.
