I assume this is some kind of Star Wars thing. Coming up shortly.

I promise not to talk about that 3rd-inning organ medley of Bailey Zimmerman & Luke Combs' "Backup Plan" into Justin Bieber & Nicki Minaj's "Beauty and a Beat" into The Commodores' "Brick House" if you promise not to talk about it.

The fact that I'm willing to do this is a strong indicator of how much I love Joe McMahon.

According to our PA announcer (my pal Henry), that's the first 1-0 MLB victory in which the winning team had 12+ hits with no extra-base hits since the White Sox lost to the St. Louis Browns on July 5, 1946.

If that wasn't one of the three all-time best medleys of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" into Shakira's "Estoy Aquí" into Guster's "Fa Fa," then it's back to the drawing board for me.

Wouldn't it be funny if I suddenly decided to start minding? Coming up shortly.

That 4th-inning organ medley of Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love" into Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag" was for all you olds out there.

Well then, in that case, it was my honor to butcher it for you.

If by "a couple" you mean 17, then yes.

Gearing up for playoff baseball with that 1st-inning organ medley of Kyu Sakamoto's "Sukiyaki (Ue o Muite Arukō)" into The Electric Light Orchestra's "Sweet Talkin' Woman."

The journey isn't over, but it's worth taking a moment to reflect on this.

AL standings column from 6/24 show the Red Sox in 15th place out of 15 teams. Next to it, AL standings column from 9/20 shows the Red Sox in 3rd place out of 15 teams.

You’ll pay me $49 to ride in that thing? Eh, I’ll pass.

Mike Verge just released this great new album. Tomorrow (Saturday) at 8pm, Mike and his band (including yours truly) will perform the album at The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge. Tickets at eventbrite.com/e/1995718933... Hear the album at audiomack.com/mike-verge/a...

Album cover. Border is wood paneling. Text at top reads "Mike Verge" in large, green, slightly psychedelic all-caps. Text at bottom reads "Human Era" in slightly smaller green all-caps. Across the middle are three modified playing cards: the king of spades covers his eyes, the queen of diamonds covers her ears, and the jack of hearts covers his mouth.

I’m going to a RUSH concert tonight. This photo is from the same day as the last time I saw RUSH, on June 17, 1990.

Last round before the stretch run.

A screenshot of a list of Fenway organ song requests played from 9/7/26 thru 9/13/26 (DM me if you need a text version of the list to be able to read it).

Quite a plot twist. Usually, adding his name to something is the quickest guaranteed route to bankruptcy.

If that wasn't one of the three all-time best medleys of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" into Hilary Duff's "Come Clean" into Rob Zombie's "Dragula," then it's back to the drawing board for me.

How about instead of playing my favorite Rush song, I play one that I (sort of) know how to play?

5160

Yes, but only if we're treating as a normal song and not as a seasonal song because, despite what some might have you believe, it is not yet the season.

To the person who walked by me just before this game started and said, "Play Freebird, ha ha ha!"... the joke is on you at the end of this inning, my friend.

Big group of fans in black shirts in the Fenway bleachers today. Bigger group in white shirts up there. Over the course of the game, they coordinated their seating so the the black shirts spelled out SOX against the backdrop of the white shirts. Pic is blurry ‘cause I was over 500 feet away.

Never heard of it, but let me see if I can learn it for you right quick.

Welcome back! Have you considered skipping the wedding and coming to tomorrow's game instead? 'Cause that's what I would do if I were you. (Krill coming up shortly.)

Josh Kantor @jtkantor.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I appreciate that you're trying to pin this request on your own child, and that you think I somehow know what One Battle After Another is. Coming up shortly.

In this line of work, I find that "too on the nose" is usually the correct amount of on the nose.

I don't know how I feel about you asking me to play a song from an album I played on, especially since you asked for one of the songs I didn't play on. Coming up shortly.

I listened to TV on the Radio on the internet so I could play TV on the Radio on the organ.

3300

Sure, you can request it... or we can cut the middleman and I can just go ahead and play it.

I'm not here to judge*, but are your friends aware that the first line of their wedding song is "I may not always love you?" *Or am I? Coming up shortly.

I don't know exactly when I reached the "My dad likes you" portion of my career, but I'm pretty firmly there. Coming up shortly.
