Yes, the holiday season is upon us, but that is not what I'm talking about. Nope. I'm talking about the start of the NCAA basketball season. Yep. After the crazy ride that was last season, my University of Illinois Fighting Illini are gearing up for another run. They routed Texas Southern (no surprise there) tonight, but I spent most of the night watching Michigan State and Gonzaga battle. What a game. The Zags prevailed after three overtimes in what was a classic. The Illini (3-0) are currently ranked 15th, but with basically only Dee Brown and James Augustine returning from last year's team, this could be a very interesting year.
If you don't have other plans, you should go read some of the outstanding fiction posted at Tough Love and also read what CBT has to say about things.
I recently got the new EP from New Jersey's Killed By The Bull sent to me by their singer Justin. They play straight-ahead punk rock that is (at times) reminiscent of early-Bouncing Souls, Plow United, or Against Me. Great stuff from this new band made up of former members of The Judas Factor that makes me feel young again.
Listening to J Page also makes me feel young again. Gruff punk rock with a hint of pop sensibility that sounds like it comes straight outta Gainesville (which it does). This band features former members of As Friends Rust and The Scaries. Maybe like AFR or HWM or any other number of bands with that Gainsville sound. Their latest EP is out now on Nice Guy Records.
