Every second of this ten minute and five second clip is worth watching. Alvin Lee delivers one of the most charismatic performances fronting Ten Years After, effectively stealing the show to that point at Woodstock. The clip is of their UK hit “I’m Going Home” was first featured on their second album Undead.
Just For Fun – Charlie Manuel Reading a Newspaper
I love Charlie Manuel and think he’s a great manager but for whatever reason, Chuck in a suit reading the newspaper with his name flashing on the screen made me laugh hysterically while trying to find things I may have forgotten about the 2008 season.
Things I Forgot About The 2008 Phillies: Jimmy Rollins Wore High Socks
Earlier this season, J-Rol wore his socks high. I had forgotten that he had also done this during the 2008 season. This screen grab was captured from the Phillies third game, and first win, of the 2008 season where a walk-off Jayson Werth walk won them the ball game.

Two of my all-time favorites, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes and Bruce Springsteen perform the Springsteen penned “I Don’t Want To Go Home” in 1978 at Cleveland’s Agora Theatre. This clip is from possibly the most notorious Southside shows of all-time; Bruce had just completed a show that started at 8:00 PM at the…
It’s OK That The Phillies Aren’t Scoring Runs. Really.
If you have watched or listened to any Phillies broadcast lately, you might have heard that the Phillies have had trouble scoring runs. The magic number of runs to score to win a ball game seems to be four; the Phillies are now 23-2 when scoring four runs or more after beating the Mets 6-4…

Saw these guys open up for the Strokes and Australian favorites You Am I with my brother Bill in Fall 2002 at the Electric Factory. They were by far the best, most cohesive group I had ever seen. I don’t often find it appropriate to use “face-melting” in any context, but their pace, enthusiasm, and…

Bravo, Saxby’s – Lansdale. Bravo.
What I’m Jamming To: May 25, 2011
This jam is the opening track New York Dolls‘ 1973 self-titled debut album. The Dolls were glam/punk pioneers who influenced many groups, including the Sex Pistols, Blondie, and, perhaps most noticeably and visually apparent, KISS. The song was ranked number 267 on Rolling Stones’ Top 500 Songs of All Time and among Morrissey’s favorite tunes….
JC Romero = .393 oOBA
Some times the most striking stats are the simplest. Credit Matt Gelb for statistics; Romero has allowed 22 of 56 batters to reach base. Surely Zagurski would be an improvement.

This jam comes from Richard Hell and the Voidoids‘ 1977 debut album of the same name, Blank Generation. Hell was a member of the Neon Boys and Television prior to fronting the Voidoids and is generally credited with inventing the safety pin fashion look.
