Baseball and Rock ... Somethings are better left undisturbed

some of you are familiar with my admiration of scott radinsky, most famed for his stint as relief pitcher, but who initially won my heart as a high school hardcore punk singer.

this article must be read to be believed. spezio, blackjack mcdowell, even peter gammons come onstage to deliver the rock.

haha:

8:59 p.m. Dan Patrick takes the mic to reaffirm his pre-season prediction that the Patriots will win the Super Bowl, and furthermore that the Red Sox will win the World Series. He introduces McDowell as someone who "flipped off the Yankee fans, as a Yankee." Patrick then segues into a strange anecdote: "Then Biggie Smalls includes Black Jack in a music video as if he wants to put a cap in Black Jack's ass," Patrick says. "And look who's still alive!" Puzzled laughter in the crowd.

according to the boston phoenix this whole thing started with a sonic youth reference in one of pete's columns.

three years pass...

Scott Radinsky interview up at BP:

I saw the Minutemen. They were entertaining, but I don’t think I ever got it when I was younger. I was looking for fast, rebellious music, and they were a little different. I mean, I’ve always liked the Minutemen--I love the Minutemen now--but I think I can appreciate them a lot more now than I did back then. We were actually on tour in '85 when D. Boone died--we were in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we tried playing a Minutemen song. We played “Party with Me Punker, In a Winnebago,” but it didn’t go over very well.

TS: Ten Foot "Dick" Pole vs. the Minutemen.

Hmm. Tough one.

Andy K, Monday, 12 November 2007 20:44 (eighteen years ago)

Scared Straight >>> 10ft. Pole

D. Boone, fwiw

You can't tell, but that e is supposed to be striked out.

Pleasant Plains, Monday, 12 November 2007 22:15 (eighteen years ago)

Shasta I will take your word for it.

four weeks pass...

Justin (DC): "Wincing the Night Away" was a great album, but it's not as majestic as Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky".

Rob Neyer: (12:45 PM ET ) Wilco's my all-time favorite band and I love SBS, but not quite *that* much.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 17:48 (eighteen years ago)

I knew it.

Andy K, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:13 (eighteen years ago)

The ESPN music chat questions are inevitably embarrassing. Keith Law's liked some decent books though.

Alex in SF, Wednesday, 12 December 2007 18:15 (eighteen years ago)

Neyer's taste is pretty innocuous compared to the dreck Gammons likes, and one can only imagine what John Kruk listens to.

yeah it's usually like "good questions. yes, the kendall signing was terrible. btw my favorite album of the year is widespread panic."

p-shaw...more like the latest from creedence clearwater revisited.
