Sons Music - "Narco"

#sonsmusic Part 4 Not everyone loves sports and certainly many of my closest friends do not. But I love sports. It’s true a lot of liberal minded people aren’t sports fans, but there are exceptions. Steve Earle is a huge baseball fan. Hunter S Thompson spent his final years writing for ESPN and of course, famously talked football with Jack Kemp Most people love their local teams as a rule. There is a set of people who pick their favorite team in their preteen years and never leave them. I spoke to someone like that just last weekend who loves the Oakland As- a team that dominated in the late 80s and though famously saved for many years by Moneyball seem to be beyond hope. For me it is the New York Mets a team that wouldn’t have even been on my radar. Another hopelessly lost team that had no chances until a change of ownership and General Manager fielded a competitive team which was led by the two most exciting young players of the time- Dwight Gooden and Daryl Strawberry Gooden and Strawberry infamously had (and still have) personal issues that largely sank the promise of their careers. But I stayed a Mets fan when WOR came into my house and television screen The Mets have had highs and lows- mostly lows with a nice early-Aughts wave. They were back on the uptick last year when they found an owner with endlessly deep pockets The highlight of last years team was relief pitcher Edwin Diaz who would pitch the ninth inning with seemingly invincibility Depending on how much you know about baseball, the “closer” is one of the more dramatic parts of the game. The best to ever do it had memorable music and they came out -most famously “Enter Sandman” “Hells Bells” and “Welcome to the Jungle” and probably eclipsing all those “Wild Thing” from Major League which probably is the grand daddy of them all Most of these songs have been fairly well known when repurposed (a couple more fairly memorable ones are “California Love” and “Shipping Up to Boston”) but the Mets Edwin Diaz put “Narco” on the map The Dutch house duo Blasterjaxx teamed up with Australian musician Timmy Trumpet. I’m not really familiar with Timmy but he’s apparently a big deal and his niche is adding trumpet (and jazz) to electronic dance music. So while I didn’t know him, it looks like he has done quite well
