It is officially baseball season (wait, come back) and for the first time in my lifelong fandom, I have decided to participate in a Fantasy League with my co-workers ( If you are blessedly unsure of what that is/means, just do a search). I never took part in a Fantasy League because I am too much of a fan of my own questionable team —that’d be the NY Mets—to be able to root against them under any circumstance ( you build your Fantasy team from all active players so you will inevitably have players on your Fantasy team trying to crush your real-life favored team i.e. My Mets). That guy in the pic is Connecticut’s own George Springer, one of my favorite non-Met players, who is on my Fantasy team who are named “The Stonecutters” after the fabled secret organization on The Simpsons (“We do, we do”).
Damn. I am already irritating THE LIVING F*CK out of myself not only by describing this new affliction but because I have not stopped obsessing over my roster for the past week and have been hypnotically staring at the app during every free moment to see how I’m doing. It’s awful. The season is only a few days old and I am already getting my arse whooped hard thanks to my many rookie mistakes…but I shall persevere and promise not to bring this up again. In the meantime, there is music.
Welcome to the latest WEEKLY NEW WONDERS PLAYLIST featuring the finest, foxiest songs that have surfaced over the past couple of weeks. And yes, there really are TWO amazing new songs titled “Baby Bangs” ( A first and likely a last). Listen to those and all of this week’s heart barnacles below on Soundcloud or Spotify.
