"You are urged to adopt the terminology favored by the tournament hosts and embraced by CBS. Spectators are “patrons.” The rough—longer grass that lines the fairways—is the “second cut.” (And it is controversial, because its abundance contravenes the wishes of the patriarchs, who designed the course to have a dearth of rough.) The traps are bunkers, and what appears to patrons and television viewers to be the whitest sand in golf is technically not sand but waste from feldspar mines in North Carolina."
I'm not a hater of golf. I have enjoyed a round or five.
I'm just an enemy of bullshit. And boy is the Masters LOADED w/bullshit.

I'll admit it- when my friends back home started playing golf- I was a little pissed off.
How could my friends be into this normie white guy activity? It seemed like something so far from my own identity, something I could never possibly get into.
But...I've seen the light...
Golf is a great way for aging dudes to get together, spend some time outside, and have a couple of beers in the sunshine while having some kind of activity to focus on.
I don't ever see myself golfing more than once or twice a year (kind of impossible when you live in NYC) but i do enjoy coming back to Massachusetts to spend a couple hours on the course with my pals.

superior in many ways to Big Golf . oh, what’s that? you hit the ball really really far? i don’t care about that.. where’s your sense of narrative? where’s the world-building? where’s the whimsy? i want to see you make the ball go thru a five-foot tall loop-de-loop and then enter a hole covered by a moving door at the base of a windmill in a miniaturized danish village

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
“Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.”
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
