I saw the highly influential if underselling dB's (minus Chris Stamey) open for R.E.M. at the Palace West in Phoenix back in '84. Today's song is from the '80s power pop group's classic debut album, "Stands for deciBels." which will be covered by Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs on the duo's upcoming '80s album.

The Gangster in the Huddle

Aaron Hernandez might have been one of the NFL’s all-time greats, but he could never escape drugs, guns and a life of violence 

Excellent piece in Rolling Stone about the jaw-dropping rise and fall of Aaron Hernandez. Does a lot to explain why someone who could seemingly have everything would throw it all away (angel dust). Couldn't help but notice that good looks run in the family: that's his older brother DJ above and his sexy dad (No. 15) below. Read HERE.

Two kittens shut down subway service for nearly two hours

Who's a little train delayer? Who's a little train delayer?

The Daily News reports:
Subway service was suspended on the Q and B lines in Brooklyn Wednesday for nearly two hours while transit workers dealt with a furry situation: two kittens chilling on the tracks. Transit workers spotted the two little felines near Church Ave. on an outdoor stretch of the Q and B lines at 11 a.m., officials said. The workers, and later police, tried to capture the duo but were unsuccessful. The MTA suspended B train service between DeKalb and Brighton Beach, and Q train service between Dekalb and Stillwell, until 12:40 a.m. Service was restored when the kittens scurried away. The authority provided shuttle buses for displaced straphangers between Kings Highway and Stillwell Ave.
