Last week, I discovered a single from the woman-led band Seven Spires that featured Casey Lee Williams from the RWBY soundtracks as a guest singer, their singer Adrienne Cowan had guested on some RWBY tracks last year, so I guess she was returning the favor. Tom Morello, Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder all teamed up for a cover of AC/DC's "Highway to Hell," the first single off Morello's new album, due out in October. Guns N Roses also released a new song called "Absurd," the first song of theirs since 1994 to feature Slash and Duff McKagan.
This week, the thing I'm most excited for is the new Sheryl Crow live album, specifically a track with Stevie Nicks guesting on it. I'm hoping it's going to be a good release overall, but I'm really looking forward to the collaboration of two famous women musicians.
I'm going to the Mariners game on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Mariners probably bringing Ty France, Mitch Haniger and Jarred Kelenic while the Blue Jays will likely feature George Springer, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It also seems Yusei Kikuchi might be pitching for the Mariners after a shutout performance against the Yankees (Boo, hiss, stop buying championships), but Probable Pitchers haven't been announced, so I don't know for sure. He was also Seattle's lone All-Star representative this year, but didn't play as he was sick.
I am somewhat nervous right now as I overspent quite a bit this month, but I think it's because as I exit this lockdown, pandemic mindset, I become more aware of just how divided the United States has become and it terrifies me. I don't like how I had to hide my opinions back at my old Church in the early 2010s, and now it feels like those people are everywhere, every social media website, the bus, the music business, my apartment complex, just walking around downtown. The thing is, I like the freedom to make the statement of my choosing and these people feel a lot of my opinions are abhorrent and abominations, so they try to forcibly "correct" me to their point of view. All this does is remind me the ways I like to have fun and the entertainment I support is seen as "wrong" by a large amount of people, which makes me feel alone in a time when I haven't yet gotten fully out of isolation. It's destructive and controlling behavior that always seems motivated by politics and causes me to turn to comfort things/items, causing me to burn through my spending money too quickly. Therefore, I'm going to start praying instead of spending, praying that we can get through this destructive behavior and survive to the other side of the pandemics of Trumpism and Homophobia.
