Per PGA, John Wanamaker is expected to be in attendance for Sunday’s final round of the 108th PGA Championship. If that name rings a bell it's because he's the great-grandson of Rodman Wanamaker for whom the trophy given to the winner of the PGA Championship is named.
We didn’t “lose” physical media.
We walked away from it.
The shops still exist. The discs, the vinyl, the collections, all still there waiting.
Streaming is easy.
Owning something is meaningful.
If you miss it… support it.

As bad as gas prices are for you, they can be existential for your favorite music artist. They travel for a living, and then maybe get 90 minutes on stage every few days. Independent music runs on T-shirts and vinyl.
You know what to do during times like these.
Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup.
One flower can be visited by 100+ bees, and your chemical bullshit will kill all of them.
If you hate dandelions so much, just pull them. Or leave them alone. It's not like they're going to shank you as you walk by.
The Shootouts Perfect ‘Rust Belt’ Country on New Album Switchback: “We’ve been asked a few times if we would consider moving [to Nashville] ...I don’t really see any reason why we’d have to abandon a hometown that has been very good to us” https://t.co/lUjK6skrh1

nobody talks about how genuinely wild music is at a fundamental level. an instrument disturbs air molecules. those molecules cross a room and reach your ear. your ear transforms that into electricity.
that electricity shifts your consciousness. and without any coordination, without any shared culture or language, every single human society that has ever existed found their way to this. that is one of the most profound things about being human.
You ever stumble onto a clip that reminds you what real American music sounds like?
That’s Doc Watson on guitar and Earl Scruggs on banjo playing Cripple Creek.
Doc Watson was blind.
Let that sink in.
No sight.
Just instinct, memory, and fingers that could outrun most guitar players alive.
Scruggs basically invented modern bluegrass banjo.
Watson’s flatpicking changed acoustic guitar forever.
Two Appalachian guys.
No auto-tune.
No smoke machines.
No backup dancers.
Just hands, strings, and decades of skill.
Different era.
Different standard.
How many musicians today could sit down with nothing but an instrument like that?
Cleveland's country bands are making waves.
@shootoutsmusic — "Rust Best Country" is how this Canton group describes its sound, and according to Rolling Stone, they've perfected it. The Grand Ole Opry agrees, as the band made its 10th appearance in the hallowed hall in January.
This is a tragedy. Tompall Glaser's name and songs from the legendary "Wanted: The Outlaws" album have been removed on streaming services.

Buy your CDs and tapes and vinyl!
Tompall Glaser has been erased from the “Wanted: The Outlaws” just further proving that our favorite albums can be completely changed and cannibalized by streaming services.
Whether it’s a “rights” issue, you cannot count on your favorite music, books and movies not being dissected and abridged.
Buy physical copies before it’s too late!
