Being a fan of your own underground music is so embarrassing

Every hour or so I yell to no one at all,

"ON AUGUST 6, 2017, FORMER PHILLIES CATCHER DARREN DAULTON DIED FROM AN AGGRESSIVE BRAIN TUMOR HE GOT FROM THE TOXIC TURF AT VETERANS STADIUM. THIS SONG IS ABOUT HIM"

#band shenanigans #we're doing a little diptych thing #baseball songs that are really about me #starting with the last temptation of tyler skaggs #ending with the devil and darren daulton #heaven and hell jesus and the devil drugs and cancer

in the genre of ‘bad opinions about sports from people that dont like/understand them’: im thinking about the terrible take i saw thankfully only once, but its stuck in my head, that was like:

‘liking sports (in a viewing way, not a participating way) is an Able Bodied thing bc people doing athletics is [i dont remember their wording but the gist of it was that its distasteful in some way/ a show of privilege]’ which like. im not comfortable using ‘disabled’ as an identifier for myself bc Issues but: its literally the opposite. there’s a pretty significant overlap between sports and disability discussions (the topic of pain management is especially relevant semi-recently) . its also hard to find a better example of people defined by a shaky relationship with their own bodies than athletes (especially wrt dealing with injuries, the long lasting effects and management of an injury and it leading to more injuries down the road)

i also dont get this conclusion when people’s careers regularly end at like 40. trying to move on and find something else to do with the other half of your life after putting everything into being good enough to do athletics for the first half and being defined by that is A Lot and i dont know, i empathize with the situation of ‘you have to find something else to do now, your body doesnt do this any more’. the progression of storyline of literally everyone that plays for a good amount of time ends like this and i see the similarities in my own body’s sudden limitations, to the point where im a little surprised more disabled people arent into sports

anyway i hate this tone of ‘discussion’. liking things (general) is morally neutral. its fine. you can dislike things, its fine. you dont have to assert that its immoral to like something harmless. im trying to word this in a way that wont be taken out of context and taken in bad faith but: i think you get what i mean i hope.

EDIT: the real point of this isnt dunking on this person (who isnt on tumblr anyway) or people that have this opinion, its ‘this is one reason this thing i love appeals to me, a person with a body that doesnt work very well’

Like the music in the new Hunger Games movie but not really know anything about folk/bluegrass/country? Here are some quick recs to get you started!

(This is not comprehensive and the genres here are a little whack, these are just songs I listen to as someone raised on good Appalachian vibes. Not necessarily from just Appalachian artists, particularly in the second section. Just think it’s nice that people are getting more exposure to folk + bluegrass!)

im sorry but why isn’t the death of tyler skaggs talked abt more? why is it just something that gets brought up in the news every so often? why isn’t the discussion of prescription drug abuse in sports brought up more often? why is it we wait until someone dies for it to become a “worthy topic”?

oh, it’s because they’re drug addicts. my mistake. no one cares about addiction if it’s making them money

#sorry I’m very angry again

“Glitter Gold,” A Musical Mirror Reflecting Universal Journeys

Rising country music artist Kathleen Fee releases her new single, “Glitter Gold,” a compelling anthem that encapsulates the resilience and determination embedded in the human spirit. The song paints a vivid picture of the struggles and triumphs encountered on the journey to success. Kathleen showcases her storytelling by bringing to life a narrative that resonates with believers and big-hearted dreamers alike. “Glitter Gold” is more than just a song for the singer; it’s a personal exploration of the internal struggles individuals face while navigating the expectations imposed by society.   Widely recognized as the dynamic frontwoman of the acclaimed New York City Irish band Celtic Cross, Kathleen has now embraced a solo venture as she spent the past year crafting her highly anticipated solo EP, Glitter Gold, slated for release in 2024. Sharing her thoughts on this venture, she expressed, “Stepping out on my own to record and write alongside Nashville’s best has been both challenging and immensely fulfilling. I’m thrilled to unveil my new music.” Kathleen wrote “Glitter Gold” with talented recording and touring musician Josh Matheny, who has played with Brothers Osborne, Vince Gill, Kacey Musgraves, Ricky Skaggs, and more; Elisha Hoffman, founding member of The Loving Mary Band, Steven Tyler’s country band, as well as co-founder of Pumphouse Records, launched with Lee Brice and songwriter Rob Hatch; and two-time Grammy winner, singer-songwriter Rebecca Lynn Howard, who has written songs for Martina McBride and Trisha Yearwood and has recorded with Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, and more. Kathleen says, “Glitter Gold’ is a deeply personal song about the journey of facing inner battles and living up to societal expectations. This song captures the longing to stand on the side of the road where the rain is made of ‘Glitter Gold,’ symbolizing the pursuit of joy and fulfillment. I think so many of us can really relate to the message in the song.” The metaphorical imagery of standing on the side of the road where the rain is made of “Glitter Gold” serves as a powerful symbol within the song. The picturesque representation conveys the longing for a life filled with meaning, encapsulating the universal desire for a sense of purpose and happiness. Highlighting the singer’s soulful voice, Kathleen’s song resonates with a broad audience, as many individuals grapple with their own aspirations, challenges, and the societal pressures that come with them. Kathleen Fee’s “Glitter Gold” not only highlights her versatility as an artist but also marks a significant milestone in her flourishing career. The single, positioned to secure its place as a staple in the country music scene, will be complemented by the release of a highly anticipated music video scheduled to debut on March 1. Influenced by renowned artists such as Kim Richey, Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kathleen Fee brings a unique blend of storytelling and musicality to the forefront, solidifying her place in the country music landscape.   For more information and to connect with Kathleen Fee, follow her on Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, and TikTok.

Tyler Skaggs Widow Breaks Down in Tears in First TV Interview Since MLB Pitchers Death

Tyler Skaggs’ Widow Breaks Down in Tears in First TV Interview Since MLB Pitcher’s Death https://ift.tt/unKkJi5 Tyler Skaggs’ family is making it their mission to honor their real-life angel. On Oct. 14, Carli Skaggs appeared on Good Morning America for her first TV interview since her husband’s death from a drug overdose in a Texas hotel room. Joined by Tyler’s mom Debbie Hetman, the pair expressed how much they miss the Los Angeles Angels pitcher more than three years after his passing. “He was my only son and I’m not going to be a grandma,” Debbie shared. “I’m not going to hold a grandchild and those things are painful. I think about that all the time.” In the candid interview, Carli said she distinctively remembered talking to Tyler about starting a family four days before he died. Now, she is trying her best to heal. “I wonder sometimes if I’ll ever be as happy as I was,” she explained through tears. “I have faith that I’ll get there. I know I’m never going to be the same. It’s going to be different but I believe that I can find happiness again.” The post Tyler Skaggs’ Widow Breaks Down in Tears in First TV Interview Since MLB Pitcher’s Death first appeared on Suave Media.

Former Angels employee sentenced in Tyler Skaggs death, disparaging remarks revealed in court

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/former-angels-employee-sentenced-in-tyler-skaggs-death-disparaging-remarks-revealed-in-court/

Former Angels employee sentenced in Tyler Skaggs death, disparaging remarks revealed in court

Eric Kay, the former Los Angeles Angels communications director who was found guilty of providing drugs that killed pitcher Tyler Skaggs in 2019, was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Tuesday.

Kay had been facing a minimum of 20 years, but he reportedly received an additional two years after apparently making derogatory remarks about Skaggs in jailhouse phone calls.

Prosecutors presented jailhouse phone calls and emails as evidence in the sentencing hearing on Tuesday, according to the Justice Department.

“I hope people realize what a piece of s— he is,” Kay said in a phone call with his mother, according to the DOJ, “Well, he’s dead, so f— him.”

Kay ridiculed Skaggs’ family as well, calling them “white trash” and “dumb.”

“All they see are dollar signs,” he said. “They may get more money with him dead than he was playing because he sucked.”

District Judge Terry Means did not want to give Kay what he felt was an “excessive” minimum, but the phone call showed a “refusal to accept responsibility and even be remorseful for something you caused,” according to the Washington Post.

Carli Skaggs, Tyler’s widow, placed blame on Kay for her husband’s death.

“I feel strongly that those who risk the lives of others with killer drugs need to be held accountable,” she said. “If anything good can come of Tyler’s death and this trial, it will be preventing someone else’s wife from receiving the call I did.”

PADRES’ JOE MUSGROVE UNDERSTANDS METS’ DECISION TO CALL FOR SUBSTANCE CHECK: ‘THEY’RE DESPERATE’

Skaggs died on July 1, 2019, from a drug overdose as fentanyl and oxycodone were found in his system, but Skaggs was not the only major leaguer to receive drugs from Kay.

Matt Harvey, C.J. Cron, Mike Morin and Cam Bedrosian also said in court that they were provided drugs by the former Angels employee.

Kay was found guilty back in February after the jury deliberated for just 90 minutes.

MLB and the MLBPA agreed in December of that year to start regularly testing players for opioids and cocaine. No violations have been found.

Skaggs was 27 when he was found in a hotel room in Southlake, Texas, before the Angels were set to play the Texas Rangers.
