I heard the Strokes and Gorillaz for the first time on Lindenwood college radio. Would listen to it in HS, cause it's where the good news songs were.
So great to see college radio in all its glory featured in today's NYT. I interviewed for the piece (WFUV is at Fordham, WFMU is independent, formerly of Uppsala--such is the way with radio, which has more acronyms than the New Deal): www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/s...

All Barbara Tuchman or Bruce Catton books.
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Klinsmann and Berhalter making us play instead of hustle made sense at the time. But now we have so much skill that the hustle becomes even more effective. Poch bringing the hustle is what we needed. It will be seen as Argentine but it's quintessentially USMNT.
Marcelo Bielsa fell on his sword, repeatedly, in the (ongoing) postgame presser after USMNT's stunning 5-1 win over Uruguay.

Bond did get blown up but was so damaged he had to get facial reconstruction, bingo bongo, you have a built in explanation for new actor.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
