Can’t get enough of this one right now; it’s been on a continuous loop here for the last 36 hours. Smooth and uplifting. (No, it’s not a brassiere!)

As always, we are indebted to the ANTHRAX BOUTIQUE (a k a Anthropologie) for turning us on to this artist. Just as only good things happen when you throw the puck into the area in front of goal, so only good things happen when you are forced to spend countless hours in the ANTHRAX BOUTIQUE, a veritable feast for all the senses, right down to the patchouli, not necessarily on the shelves, either!

Sorry if this tune has already come and gone on the chartsz. Again, our musical tastes and growths have been stunted for the past 20 years or so. Probably this song has become one of those memes or however they call it and we are only getting on board now. Unhip forever! Square always!

Free ones: Today…

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: OK. We try to disarm the morning-line fave in Prairie 8, their eponymous Express. Straight-up playas will take #4 J J Garbar, and ambitious exotic-loversz will play around the chalk via #2 Conchacer and #5 Absolutely Cool.

Yesterday’s Activity: Welcome to The Home of The Runner-Up Finish. Nonetheless, value in a three-horse conflagration at Belmont. NYRA!
