I guess if there was ever a game to break this one out, it was at tonight's versus the Flames (Buddy's team in the song) with *checks notes* 18 penalties totalling 67 penalty minutes and 3 game misconducts across both teams?

So this is from a few weeks ago but it's been a busy summer and I haven't gotten around to much internet-ing. Anyway, shout out to @nikostratis.com whose phenomenal work I've been really enjoying this summer and who reminded me of the formative role Yankee Hotel Foxtrot had in my life

1-0 so far, if the pattern holds she may be onto something. (For now, just Sundays tho)

Pretty sure Ebs looked back and thought about passing that to Kokko before hitting the empty net

Alright, it's Saturday night, the Seattle OGs know that means one thing: Almost Live! (The theme to which, especially the second version in later seasons, absolutely rips). (My research skills weren't able to find who wrote or recorded it, so if anyone knows, hit me up)

Fun one against the 'Canes, here's some Iron Maiden

Heard Joe Doria play this one at the Pioneer Square Jazz Walk last week, thought I'd give it a shot.

Benny Drawbars @bennydrawbars.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Well, definitely some parts of that game I would black out of my memory, but some hustle in the third almost clawed it back! We'll see what Sunday looks like!

More sinking than swimming by Long Island tonight, but don't worry Isles fans, it'll get washed away with time

Really 'Feeling This' dub streak, let's keep it rolling (exciting game, didn't want to blink and risk missing a second of it...)

Clean New Sweaters on the ice, but some Dirty Old Bossa Nova on the organ (by The Howard Roberts Quartet, but notably sampled in 'The Jam' by A Tribe Called Quest )

Lots of folks nowadays talkin bout the fate of Ophelia, forgetting The Band was putting in the hard work way back in '75 asking where she'd gone. (Penned by Robbie Robertson whose family, like the Kraken's own Brandon Montour, hails from Six Nations, fitting for Indigenous Peoples Night in The Deep)

'A heartbreak in mid-December' is right, Neck Deep Here's hoping its not a long lonely December for the dub against the Kings and it gets a buddy soon

Benny Drawbars @bennydrawbars.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Also a while back someone requested 'All Caps' by Madvillain so here's that (Perhaps a bit on the jaunty side, but sometimes fitting stuff between a whistle and the puck drop requires a little creative license)

Kraken back in the dub column? Now that's Something Wonderful. And to do it in OT? This year, thats the SEAway

Lauded all across the ridgelines, fjords, and forests of the Northwest, here's one from @eric_howk called 'RENO' ahead of his stop at Chop Suey next month

Wait, what month is it? Oh right. It's 'December' (By Collective Soul)

Well, it's Thanksgiving, so here's a mercifully short and not 18 minute long version of Arlo Guthrie's 'Alice's Restaurant Massacree'

50 years and 1 day ago, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew went down in Lake Superior off the shores of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 49 years and 11 months ago, Gordon Lightfoot recorded a song about it. Today seemed as good an occasion as any to play it on an organ at a hockey game.

Benny Drawbars @bennydrawbars.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Sharks? Too aggressive for my taste. So here's a more friendly Phish instead, 'Character Zero' (featuring a weird click of something bouncing everytime I hit the sample pad, but you can't win em all)

Benny Drawbars @bennydrawbars.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

You can take the boy out of Chicagoland but you can't take the love of Chance the Rapper out of the boy. Always try to rep some Chano when the Blackhawks are in town (In this case 'Tree' and via the hook on this one, 'Video' by India.Arie)

A little Coheed and Cambria for an excellent third period comeback to 'Welcome Home' an OTL point on Hispanic Heritage Night!

Look, I try to avoid posting anything not related to playing 20 seconds of a song at a hockey game, but as a musician and person who makes stuff, this is infuriating. www.404media.co/chicago-sun-...

Anyway, that'll do it for me til next season! In the meantime, look after your neighbors, especially those in vulnerable communities (our trans and immigrant friends especially!), and in the words of Bill and Ted, be excellent to each other! (Also, Mariners, I'm just a water taxi ride away....)

And lastly, since it was a beautiful spring day in Seattle on Tuesday and I've done nothing if I haven't accidentally cultivated a reputation of being the hockey organist who plays emo/pop-punk/midwest-emo/insert-related-genre here, here's Hot Mulligan's *Equip Sunglasses*

Next up: 'Threat' by Charly Bliss! Someone was very excited earlier in the season when I hit 'I'm Not Dead' and the verse of 'Threat' is incredibly fun to play!

Benny Drawbars @bennydrawbars.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Okay, several days late posting anything from Fan Appreciation Night but I have a 3.5 week old so time is meaningless! Tried to circle back to some things that seemed to really resonate with people this season, so in honor all the people who got excited about 'Stash' and their current CPA run:

Benny Drawbars will be out of the lineup tonight (personal reasons, birth of child). His Iron Hands streak will reset after 123 Kraken games at CPA. Timeline for return is week to week, hopeful for April 12 versus St. Louis (I did send some recordings to DJ Cide, though, so not *totally* gone)

Okay, this is mostly for @organistalert.bsky.social whomst I told I was going to try to do Happy Birthday in 10/8 (2+3+2+3, 8th=8th triplet from prev measure) for Pi Day, but in case you've never been to a game in person, here's what I usually get up to under the 'in game messages' during 1st INT
