That Was Just Your Life - Metallica

Their new album, Death Magnetic, is very good in my opinion. Huge step up from St. Anger. St. Anger was a load of gutter trash.

I take it with a grain of salt. It took me a while to warm up to him.

I do love me some Iron and Wine though!

In the car: 6 CDs of 80s new wave music.
I loved that. Under-produced, raunchy and funny.

I have a different preference at home when I may be in a more "relaxed" state.
I listen to a contemporary Rhythm and Blues program on Saturday night.

When I'm very "relaxed", it has to be David Bowie: Jean Genie, Starman, Rebel Rebel, Let's Spend the Night Together (cover is better than the Stones).
Amazing guitar work, arrangements, and Bowie (IMHO) is the best rock vocalist ever.
He didn't write as many tunes as the Beatles or Stones, but quality counts more.

Best, Mike Elzey

I have a good friend who's nephew is the singer-songwriter for a formerly 'indie' band that got signed by Capitol a couple years ago. I'm listening to an unmixed early mockup of their new album that will be released in the spring.

It kicks ass.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
