Universal is finally (FINALLY!) putting the complete discography of Let's Active on digital music apps this week. I spoke to frontman Mitch Easter about how it came together, and what fans can expect from his set of songs from the band this weekend in Winston-Salem, NC.

Art Briles has been hired as the head football coach at a D2 school and so is back in the news. If you want to understand why this hire is upsetting for many, here's the long piece @dansolomon.com and I wrote back in 2019 about How Baylor Happened: web.archive.org/web/20190208...
How Baylor Happened

Well, if the goal was to get people to Google where Eastern New Mexico is, mission accomplished I guess. (I've been to Clovis many times, but never there). Does he still look like the fifth member of Pearl Jam? www.espn.com/college-foot...

I think it is very fair to ask, and expect, the league and its teams not to fly with these carriers. You have sth who could not go to games this season because of the fear of deportation. Show an ounce of solidarity, I beg.
🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬

This has been a ruthless and also cynical campaign by Terry Smith. Putting on the Paterno pin to get the most deranged people in the community on your side. Getting the players behind you so you can claim to be the guy who keeps the roster together. He's fighting! 247sports.com/college/penn...
