Utter incompetence by McLaren two weeks in a row. They should’ve already wrapped up the championship for one of their drivers, likely Norris, and yet here we are going into the last race of the season with a definite chance of losing out to Max. #F1 #mclaren.

Greg Freeman — Burnover — 2025

Alt rock with the wurlitzers, pianos, trumpets, and saxophones joining the fray, while freeman tells his gritty tales. Catchy as all get out.

Jim Ghedi — Wasteland — 2025

It’s always such a pleasure to discover an artist with an established catalog ripe for a deep dive. This scratches my Fairport Convention/Steeleye Span/Jethro Tull itch, and then some.
