Hey there! Welcome back, dear friend. You’ve done it! You’ve survived another week in Hellworld. Well done. Why don’t you take a break by reading this here internet webposting, crack the fridge, and grab yourself a cold one. You’ve earned it!

Got one? Good. Crack that thing for your boys the Seattle Mariners because while your week is winding down The Kyles, JP, DYLAN MOORE, and the whole gang are just halfway through their road trip through the heart of darkness itself. In tribute to our brave maritime stalwarts stuck on the dusty planes of the Lone Star State, Music Friday has thrown together some tunes in tribute to Texas: America’s Blasted Lands.

Enjoy the tunes, enjoy the weekend, enjoy our mighty Mariners doing battle against the hateful Astros. Maybe they will drill them this time. They certainly should.
