ACL 2016: Weekend One From The Crowd

Have A Nice Weekend

Photo by Graham Burwell We have the start of College Football. The Horns are taking on the golden domers. Not sure I have high hopes, so many freshman starters and that isn’t good unless you are Kentucky’s basketball team. F1 returns to the kingdom of speed, Monza. The Tifosi will get worked over by Mercedes power. I’ll put the outside shot on Williams to podium. Lewis bleached his head. What? Premier League has the weekend off for international play so at least Nathan and I aren’t dropping any points. USMNT plays Peru tonight. Can Altidore just go away? Not a fan, cause he’s not a finisher. #controversialsportstalk

This week’s lead-in for the weekend is a lovely synth from a band called Satchmode. Two dudes, Gabe Donnay and Adam Boukis, based out of LA. I don’t remember how I came across this, maybe a related artist play from one of our posts? Probably. They just released an EP called Afterglow. This is a shimmy inducing piece of fun about a break up. Juxtaposition.
