What is your favorite song by The Bee Gees? #mikesquestions #BeeGees

Al Green turns 80 on April 13. To mark this milestone I'm doing my Catalog Club series this month on four of his albums, starting with my personal favorite. Come luxuriate in some of the greatest music ever with me! tinyurl.com/2ua6bmfj

⚾️On April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 715th career home run, breaking Babe Ruth’s 39-year-old record

The Big Ten could have the national champions this academic year in football (Indiana), men’s basketball (Michigan), women’s basketball (UCLA), women’s hockey (Wisconsin) and men’s hockey with both Wisconsin and Michigan in the upcoming Frozen Four.

The iconic Billieholliday was born today in 1915 and what a gift to the world and to music she was. Her vocal style, phrasing, tempo and improvisations inspired generations to come and still do to this day. Happy Birthday Lady Day! #planetelegance #roncarter #jazz

Happy birthday to the incomparable Merle Haggard, whose wide screen storytelling, staggering eye for detail and underdog anthems comprise perhaps the finest American Songbook of all. Here's an essay I wrote about him for Stereogum a handful of years back. stereogum.com/1870888/the-10…

President Trump’s new executive order on college sports says a lot, but I’m not sure it will do a lot—and if it does, it could be challenged in court. For @Sportico, @soshnick & I analyze the order and detail the role played by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton: sportico.com/law/analysis/2….

What’s your favorite Marvin Gaye song?

From the anxiously amoral opener “See No Evil” to the cosmic-stoner guitar-showcase of the title track, Television’s ‘Marquee Moon’ is the LP which smuggles the Grateful Dead into punk rock before Pavement had the chance. The speed kids dig it and the major heads too. A miracle.

In honor of 50 years of Apple, we're sharing - for the first time ever - Don Valentine's original 1977 memo for Sequoia's investment into Apple Computer. #Apple50

The Life-Changing Power of a Book Review In The Days Before Algorithms, by @DavidStreitfeld nytimes.com/2026/03/24/boo… via @NYTimes

Bob Hurley (Danny's father) is fascinating guy, the Jack Bogle of bball IMO. Dude coached a catholic HS with no gym to 25 state championships in 39 years with a 90% winning record. His teams beat Kobe twice and a bunch of other future NBA guys in HS. The whole time it was just his side gig to his job as probation officer which he never gave up despite all kinds of offers. Built different. Great book about it called The Miracle of St Anthony.

Fashioning a career in the music industry that lasted several decades, Chip Taylor nearly picked a different path. Before finding his love for music, he followed in his father’s footsteps, hoping to become a professional golfer. But when that career didn’t pan out, he turned his attention to music. That single moment changed Taylor’s life as he recorded numerous albums and wrote hit songs like “Angel of the Morning” and “Wild Thing”. Sadly, the famed songwriter passed away at 86.
