Friday evening the James Logan Colts played against the San Leandro Pirates, shutting them out 25-0 for their second pre-season game.

The Colts made a statement with their defensive and offensive line, dominating the line of scrimmage up and down the field all night long. The San Leandro Pirates had dificulty with Logan’s defense, finishing with only 95 total offensive yards.

The Pirates are known to be a passing team, but Pirates' quarterback Chris Musni was under pressure for most of the game: he completed just 7 of 20 passes for 55 yards and was picked off once. Both of the team's sophomore running backs had a big role in the win against San Leandro, ending with 324 rushing yards.

Flying Lotus released his third album, Cosmogramma, in May 2010, and five months later it is still nothing short of spectacular.

An uprising producer from Southern California, Flying Lotus is not a common household name. He proved yet again that his fusion of jazz, electronica and hip hop can harmonize into perfection. Some compare his abstract style to that of the late Sun Ra; admittedly, the album starts off true to its name - spacey and a bit out there - but gains glorious momentum with the passing of each song.

Hawaii native Jack Johnson’s most recent studio album To the Sea sounds like a tribute to the easygoing island lifestyle he left behind. The mellow, breezy and beachy feel of his music is complementary to his use of instruments like the ukulele and tambourine, giving the album a very summery feel.

Fans of Jack Johnson always know what to expect: some calm and comforting music that makes listeners want to relax. He always delivers and this album is no exception.

From wikipedia:
Jon Hendricks (born September 16, 1921) is an American jazz lyricist and singer. He is considered one of the originators of vocalese, which adds lyrics to existing instrumental songs and replaces many instruments with vocalists (such as the big band arrangements of Duke Ellington and Count Basie). Furthermore, he is considered one of the best practitioners of scat singing, which involves vocal jazz soloing. For his work as a lyricist, jazz critic and historian Leonard Feather called him the "Poet Laureate of Jazz" while Time dubbed him the "James Joyce of Jive." Al Jarreau has called him "pound-for-pound the best jazz singer on the planet—maybe that's ever been".
