Interesting trade* Mariners acquire Taylor Ward and keep the players they offered in return (Hope plus minor leaguers) *yes, a typo in the report just thought it was funny

yeah, figured that would be coming in due course. May require a bit of revision of my playlist if there are any ones that were played that week I hadn't caught. :D Thanks for the curation of that list, a massive undertaking!

Been a while since I've done a New Tunes playlist, but I have built up a lot of good to me songs through the EIO40 Music League Season 5, so here are 14 that I never chose (much to my detriment in a few cases). I've tried to remove songs that...[1/2] open.spotify.com/playlist/1xv...

I’ve had progressive lenses (what we call ‘em here) for years. They can be great, but they need to have good alignment. I had a pair for a few months where the primary focal spot was slightly different for each eye which drove me nuts. But with good alignment I’ve really liked them overall

at fault (plus, for She's Green I was close, I moved back a bit and to the left for Chapterhouse). However, an acquaintance at the show thought Chapterhouse sounded really good, at least from a bit of a distance. I now suspect that my hearing protection is the root cause of at least some bad sound.

Hi Peter - I have a split answer here. I really like their recorded stuff as well. For the show, I thought they sounded 'ok', and a bit out of balance. In particular I found the vocals very faint. HOWEVER, I also thought the same for Chapterhouse. That made me believe it was the sound system (1/2)
