1984Echoes

The Bebop Jazz definitely sets a cool mood... a little bit Miles Davis, a little bit John Coltrane (actually, I don't recognize the artists they're using but the Jazz is definitely floating the mood all around the action... The Seatbelts? And Yoko Kanno? Must be some Japanese bebop jazz but it's definitely good...). It has a modern day film noire mood to it. With a Japanese science fiction setting and violence/ action to match.

And 14 shots against Ned... It's just not fair...

Don't watch anime so that means nothing to me... All I can say is this Netflix version is brilliant.

This one is a live version on Netflix based off of the anime series. With Jonathon Cho & Mustafa Shakir... and a never ending stream of cool Bebop Jazz drifting throughout... This is quite amazing IMO...

What is it with all these Putinesque boot lickers? Even America is sick with hundreds to thousands of boot-licking Putinites. WTF is wrong with you scumbag MF'ing fascist deuchebags?

Anyone seen episodes of Cowboy Bebop?

Is that why Putin is shitting his pants right now?

Brieske actually turning into another rotation candidate for us... I like it.

Yeah, that's a pretty simple reality.

All the way to 97? Maybe?

For Ukraine:

I am sentencing you to 3 pages of the "What Are You Listening To" thread... And Clapton doing acoustic Layla is awesome...

I think this is my favorite off the album... the percussion is out of this world...! So is Paul's singing and lyrics...

How about some old Paul Simon...? (This whole album ("Rhythm of the Saints") is beyond outstanding...):

Jaco Pastorius!!!

Dude... Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2 soundtracks are EPIC!!!

All Tyler's and Tyrus's are belong to us.

I have no idea on the previous song... But this one immediately pops into my head and I love it when it does... "But my Life, my Lover, my Lady is the Sea".

I like it also on the basis that, if Hinch decides he wants Alexander in the BP... then we aren't forced into pushing Wentz into the 5th spot. If he's on fire down in Toledo, then he can earn his way into Detroit's rotation. I'd rather he earn his way to Detroit, rather than he, or anyone else, forced into the 5th spot under a stress/ duress situation. I mean, that was Alexander last year, and he flourished. I just prefer affirmation rather than desperation.

So... Who do we want at #2 if Hutch is gone? Who do we want if we can facilitate a trade down?

Maybe the evaluation of all other potential #1's has fallen short... Not necessarily that Hutch is a future superstar or anything, but, rather... He's now the clear #1 by default. PS: What happened to the two OT's? Jax not interested?

A Russian emigre's (in Germany) view of Russia's "brain drain", and of Putin/ Russia: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-16/russia-emigration-up-after-putin-s-ukraine-invasion?utm_campaign=bw&utm_medium=distro&utm_source=yahooUS

Big Questions at ESPN: Teams that will be more active than you think? Everyone knows the Panthers and Avs are going for it. ... But this question is about the unexpected, so I present to you the St. Louis Blues and Detroit Red Wings... And Detroit? A few people have told me to keep an eye on them, and there's a belief that anyone on the roster is in play outside Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond (though I have a hard time seeing them part with captain Dylan Larkin, either). This text I received from an NHL executive should put the rest of the league on notice: "Steve Y is up to something." Dangerous words. That made me chuckle... Hopefully, Stevie Y lives up to that comment...

That's a lot of saves by Ned...
