UMassketball

@Steven_Hyden I saw an old band he was in called Hazy Malaze open for Robert Randolph way back in the day and they were great.

Listening to a lot of Neal Casal lately, both his own records and his excellent work with bands (The Cardinals, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Hard Working Americans). One of my favorite contemporary musicians. Feeling sad again he died so young.

@bradluttrell The whole album is awesome. Really good songwriter.

Brian Dunne wrote one of my favorite songs of 2025.

@BTHoops12 He just needs to show the team his midcourt tackle of Martin Jones at the Mullins Center in the mid-90s and the defense should improve 75%!

Give this man the big seat.

@treswritesstuff In the movie ROAD HOUSE, Dalton’s salary to be a bouncer at a bar in a smallish midwestern town was $520K per year.

in the movie POINT BREAK Johnny Utah gets two meatball subs, a tuna sandwich, and two lemonades for seven dollars and eighty four cents

@buffalotomband Surprised myself with this answer but it first came to mind: Sunday Night

If you had to pick the quintessential Buffalo Tom song - what would it be?

@MaroonMusket Enjoy your days in our fine state.

@UMassBrother Yeah man. Good taste. Laundry was booked up tonight. Trying Cypress under new ownership. TBD.

Just drove from Florida to Colorado and I'd like to share an important observation: People are addicted to driving slow in the left lane. I'm convinced that if we had these mega highways in Massachusetts, everyone would drive 500 mph.

@MaroonMusket Nice. I’m a Laundry, Yampa River Icehouse, and Truffle Pig guy up that way

@UMassBrother Steamboat. Been coming out here for years.

@SouthDallasFood @CasaBonita You go to Kike’s Red Tacos instead.

Let’s take a pretend field trip to Casa Bonita. What are we ordering?

@bradluttrell Man, Ken Yates is such a craftsman.

Press the foller button to find new music weekly👉 @bradluttrell Share the love ♻️ If you enjoyed something on the list, share it. That's how people discover new music in 2025. Note: I may not drop on Friday the 13th Not because it's bad luck, but because I'll be producing "The Songwriter" for @JammNationApp with @Hillier5Rob at @LaurelCoveFest and am going to have a busy week. I'll try but no promises.

@bradluttrell I saw him last year and I was with two other middle aged dudes in a sea of twenty somethings all singing every word and just going crazy. Gave me some hope for the future. And goddamn if I didn’t feel young again.

Alright some of you will hate this song but I dig it and I share what I dig. Petey USA dropped a good one, and I love the art. I hope it's not AI because I want to imagine someone spending 29 hours perfecting this.

@bradluttrell Seeing him next Saturday in Denver. Very excited.

Man, what an album. This delivered everything I hoped for and more. This is definitely going on my favorites list. I imagine it'll climb the ranks with time. Jack Van Cleaf // JVC // 2025

@bradluttrell Isakov also does a killer cover of this youtu.be/7RZYqK-S_K8?si…

One of my all-time favorite songs. And it’s 9 minutes of nearly the exact same chords. Just so good though.

@CurryHicksSage Searching for Bobby Fischer

What’s a great movie for my almost 9 year old and me to watch?

@CurryHicksSage Being apathetic is worse than panicking and that’s where I am finally at. Took probably longer than it should have, but I have finally arrived at the front door of IDon’tGiveAShitAnymore.

I don’t think UMass fans need to panic yet. We’ve been panicked or sad about the state of football affairs at the school for 15 years so I’m willing to give Bamford a few more days to figure it out. Program can’t really get much worse so you might as well give him time.

I really like living in a state where Jason Isbell and his band do 4-night runs. Makes me feel young again.
