How was your weekend? Great, I hope. I want to take this Monday to give a brief shout out to something I rarely talk about on this site: sports. Specifically, Chicago sports. With the Blackhawks trying (and failing) to continue their run for the Stanley Cup this year, it’s important to note a couple big things happening on other teams in town. Like how the Bulls are hopefully going to finish first in the Eastern Conference. But really, above all else, something huge happened over the weekend, and I hope people both in and outside of Chicago can appreciate it: Chicago White Sox pitcher Phil Humber threw a perfect game over the weekend. It was only the 21st perfect game in this history of Major League Baseball. This is a huge deal. A pitcher throwing a no-hitter is very impressive too, but the perfect game is probably the greatest thing any single pitcher can do in a career. So a congratulations to Phil Humber on such a great feat, and equally so for being very humble and nice about it. Okay, no more sports talk for awhile. Let’s get to today’s Pick Your Poison. I’ll recommend tracks from Candidate, Don’t Talk to the Cops, Flosstradamus, The M Machine, Mohn, Swansea and Wool. The John Cale and Theophilus London remixes are good too. In the Soundcloud section, be sure to stream tracks from Kidstreet and Sonny & the Sunsets.
