S. Samek Let’s recap how the Pittsburgh Steelers did during their matchup with the Minnesota Vikings this past weekend. As far as results go it was good in a 24-21 win over the Vikings. That moves them to 3-1 with back-to-back wins heading into their bye week this week. However, it was a bit too … Continue reading “Steeler Monday 9/29/25 Vs Minnesota Vikings”

“No Hard Feelings” is one of the standout tracks from The Avett Brothers’ 2016 album True Sadness. It was their ninth studio album, produced by Rick Rubin, and includes songs like “Ain’t No Man, Mama,” “I Don’t Believe,” and the title track “True Sadness.” The record blends their signature folk-rock sound with more experimental elements,… Continue reading THE AVETT BROTHERS – No Hard Feelings (2016) →

Director: Dan Allen Starring: Roxanne McKee, Russell Geoffrey Banks, Samira Mighty After a mother and son get in a car wreck, they soon become hunted by Bambi, a mutated grief-stricken deer on a deadly rampage seeking revenge for the death of his mother. I must be honest, I didn’t really expect much from this movie. […]

“What silent movies should I watch?” someone asked the other day, and it’s a perfectly valid question. It’s much preferable to the indifference (and worse, scorn) most people evince when it comes to silent cinema! I’ve actually been ruminating on the question for today (Silent Movie Day) because this year marks the centennial of a […]

The Avett Brothers have teamed up with none other than Mike Patton to form a collaborative project called AVTT/PTTN. They have released a lead single, “Eternal Love”, from a new album set for release on November 14, 2025. The song comes with a magnificent music video. Louder Sound describes it as a “country ballad that’s… Continue reading AVTT/PTTN – Eternal Love (2025) →

In theory, as conferences get going, the rankings become more static. I think that happened this week but I may be missing a loss or two off the top of my head. I know that a couple of teams had good weeks and I’m not sure anyone had a week that warrants them to be… Continue reading D3VbWest Top 25 2025-Wk5

S. Samek Triple-A baseball has announced their postseason All-Star teams recently. The list for the International League had one player from the Pittsburgh Pirates system make the team.

Good and bad breaks were the portion of actress Anne Nagel (Anna Marie Dolan, 1915-1966), a star of B movies, and something less than a star in major features. An Irish Catholic girl from Malden, Mass, Nagel attended a convent school with the plan of becoming a nun. She had other aspirations, though, and pursued […]

¿Qué es la justicia? La República (Politeia) es una de las obras principales de Platón, y versa sobre la justicia. La pregunta a la que trata de responder Platón es: ¿Cómo es posible una sociedad justa? Para responder a esta cuestión, Platón describe como debería ser una sociedad armónica, donde no hubiese conflicto social. Se trata, por tanto de una utopía; una descripción […]

Last week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent offered a $20bn swap line to Javier Milei’s government in Argentina and pledged to buy its bonds, as the Trump administration moved to shore up its ideological ally. The measures temporarily halted a rout in Argentine foreign exchange and bond markets triggered by the rapid depletion of theContinue reading “Argentina: the chainsaw breaks down”

September 29 was the birthday of Tommy Boyce (Sidney Thomas Boyce, 1939-1994); and we lost Bobby Hart (Robert Harshman, 1939-2025) about three weeks ago, so I thought this would be a good time for a little fan letter. The songwriters were fixtures of the L.A. music scene throughout the sixties, best known for being the […]

Nil Cheville & The Dansant is an experimental, composition-driven rock ensemble that blends world-music colors (Oriental and South American motifs), progressive, avante-garde, electronics and improvisation in their genre-defying music. Their adventurous sonic palette may be compared to to avant/experimental projects such as Secret Chiefs 3, John Zorn and others of the kind, highlighting complex arrangements… Continue reading NILS CHEVILLE & THE DANSANT – The Dansant | Fvll Al
