Sports: People claim this is an important series, Mets Vs Yankees, but my friend Ben Buchwald claims otherwise. The Mets have the division sown up and home field advantage isn’t worth wearing out their players, and the Yanks have Wild card in pocket and don’t stand much of a chance of taking the division. So fun? Perhaps. Important? Not so fast.
Recorded: Leigh Nash is on constant repeat round are way, not as great as I thought at first listen but even so. Also, the new Lana Del Rey is better than I thought it would be. The shocker is how disappointing Darlene Love is.
New York Daily News: It is now official, Jim Farber has been let go as music writer for the New York Daily news. My favorite of the local music reviewers, he has the breadth of the best of the New York Times, without being a blowhard. If the Post doesn’t hire him they are out of their minds.
Headline Of The Day: Slipknot’s Corey Taylor speaks out against Donald Trump’s presidential bid: ‘It sucks’
Live: Leaping ahead to next week, yes, I will miss Global Citizen and yes, CMJ didn’t give me a press pass this year (I could have asked but to be honest, it is impossible to find the time to go) but any way… A$AP Rocky!!! And Vince Staples!!! On Wednesday, by the way, at Theatre At MSG.
