Latest song from Bruce Springsteen's Tracks 2 has dropped. Musically my favorite so far, likely a snoozer for other fans (I tend to be contrary with this release, lol!) A ballad that could have been a Devil's & Dust outtake, with a great musical build-up. Very pretty imo.

I've been anticipating at least three books this year that I expect before even reading will be contenders for my book of the year. But the first book I've actually *read* and marked as a candidate for that honor is a debut, Benjamin Liar's 2024 novel THE FAILURES, first book of The Wanderlands.
