Even after 10 years of playing in the New York City competitive pinball league, PinballNYC, I still get excited for matches. Playoff matches used to get me nervous & excited. That nervousness has waned through the years, but the excitement remains. Season 24 couldn’t have ended better as on both Monday & Tuesday my teams were the last left standing in their respective divisions.

The Tuesday team won 2 overtime playoff matches, & our finals match came down to the very last game — suffice it to say it was a ton of fun, particularly since we won! Anyway, thanks for bearing with me during these playoff runs. The season is over, I am back, even hosting a 480 Minutes show on a holiday weekend (a rarity).

Today’s live-hosted indie rock noise pop post-punk shoe gaze psych & garage rock show runs from 9am until 5pm Eastern U.S. Time & will feature a TON of new music by Guardian Singles (Auckland, NZ, @GuardianSingles), House of All (Manchester, England, @FallContinuum), Iguana Death Cult (The Netherlands, @IguanaDeathCult), James Ellis Ford (London, England, @JamesEllisFord), Laveda (Smallbany, NY, @LavedaMusic), Mandy, Indiana (Manchester, England, @MandyIndiana), Mise En Scene (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, @MiseEnSceneBand), & Sad Night Dynamite (London, England, @SadNightDynamite).

(This is what happens when I take a Friday off!).
