Album of the Year This Week

Sobering.
Sporting Trend
Oakland Arena attempting to disorient Golden State Warriors opponents by playing Dizzee Rascal during warm-ups.
Sure as hell didn’t work against the Spurs.
Radio News
107.7 The Bone’s new Tuesday night Bay Area-centric hard rock music hour, to be entitled “Local Licks on the Bone.”
What an appropriate image for how to get your songs played on the radio.
Impending Concert Experience
Great news: There’s a touring group paying homage to A Charlie Brown Christmas, the single greatest album ever made.
Terrible news: The words “Smooth Jazz” are in the tour’s title.
International Intrigue

Doot doot-doot doot-doot, FIRE!!!
Doot-doot doot-doot doot-doot.
Doot doot-doot doot-doot, FIRE!!!
Doot-doot doot-doot doot-doot.
