Not really wasting time, knowing your particular idiom. Seems a good use of dead time.

Thank you for clarifying the clarification!

That original post on the Other App seems a little ambiguous - is it possible that he continued to vote for Beltran and just debated adding Andruw? Or has he clarified/confirmed the singular vote?

Jay, have you ever been on the receiving end of a Ratto put down/burn? Feel like that’s one of the highest honoraries one can earn in the sports writing world.

Yes, the first 2/3rds set up the last third, but good god ma’am, something for tension, please and thank you.

So ya, I'm not sharing my AppleMusic wrapped because I'm spending December Triaging and trying to get other artists up so people don't feel compelled to go "HOLY SHIT YOU LISTENED TO HOW MUCH MUDVAYNE AND NOTHING ELSE? TRAVIS ARE YOU OKAY"

And really, it's just one song from each:
- LD 50 "Internal Primates Forever"
- RTL "The Call of Ktulu"
- WP "Digital Bath"
- DMB "The Last Stop"
- SP ""...honestly a bunch, the Lyric Opera just got everything ingrained in my head like 1-877-Kars-4-Kids

I listen to a shitload of music, but I also tend to gravitate to one album for like two months on end. Literally it'll be the only thing I want to listen to, and I'll just play it over and over again.

This is why like eight of my Top 10 Songs this year are from Mudvayne's L.D. 50.

They are all very good, to be clear

His reasoning in the article makes more sense than taking the ballot at face value. Worth a read - also explains his 'no' on Jones, for my money.
