And so is this..

Perfect for a rainy night...

And one last one for Sandy...

One last one for Syd...

Hahaha you are quite right, Sath. I'm still living in 2015. Just today I caught myself starting to write 12- on my check.

^^^Not to mention that Steeler coach Tomlin has a Super Bowl ring while Bungles coach Marvin Lewis has doodly-squat. I recognize the Blues popularity in St. Louis but still find the Rams' reasoning far-fetched. Plus, there are still zero NFL stadiums ready to go in L.A. at this point in time.

It's Sandy's and Syd's birthdays today...Sandy Denny would have been 69 and Syd Barrett 70 today.

^^^Coincidentally, a hot toddy is one of the drinks I imbibed on New Year's Eve.

^^^What team is your football avatar supposed to represent, Paul? I am not familiar with team Z. What a bunch of poppycock. Who does St. Louis think they're fooling? Nothing was wrong with St. Louis when the Rams were going to and winning Super Bowls there. A 2-sport town? Besides baseball do they mean basketball? Hockey? I bet Rams TV ratings in St. Louis are more than basketball and hockey combined. Stay the fuck out of L.A...we don't want you back.

Great choices...you've inspired me to do the same.

^^^I was wondering the same, Chuck. Roger Goodell is an arse.

Thanks Kiwi. A pauper's breakfast of porridge and tea this morning for me. Last night it was matzo ball soup and tea. Starting to feel better...with a little help from the Sudafeds I'm wolfing down.

January 5, 1969 Whisky a Go Go (no 'e' nick2632). Natch. Led Zeppelin begins its love affair with its home away from home. Led Zeppelin and Los Angeles. They went together like chateaubriand and Château Margaux.

I am picking Seattle but the thing that has me worried is the NFL did Seattle no favours by scheduling the game at 1pm ET...that's 10am PST. History is rife with West Coast teams starting those type of games sluggish as their body clocks are out of whack. Minnesota could take advantage and jump on them early.

I watched that same Palladia broadcast and it was utter shite. Even had me wistful for the days of Buckethead.

"Ruined in a Day" is good but the "Republic" album and the World Cup song is where New Order started to lose me. The 90s weren't kind to New Order, Depeche Mode, and the Cure. Shame about the law suit but I saw Hooky in 2014 and the shows were gobsmackingly choice. January 5 is Whisky day.

^^^What a cutie...nice touch with the name Paige. Do you still have that shirt as a memento? Has she traded up for a larger size?

There is an interview where Jimmy Page mentions leaving the pickups on...it's an old one. Could be the Steve Rosen 1977 interview or one of the Trouser Press or Creem interviews. But I definitely remember reading Jimmy mention it.

Okay, I will waive the scores for the first two rounds. If there is a logjam afterwards, then I will institute the scores for the Conference Championships and Super Bowl. Too bad...I kind of like seeing people's score predictions. Like, pc doesn't seem to have much confidence in Minnesota.
