#GOT Dream Team Lives! Thank You Bill Simmons + HBO!

As you probably know Game Of Thrones is coming back at the end of this month. The best team of people covering the #GOT television show IMHO was the team at Grantland (which ESPN surreptitiously fired).

Big News Grantland fans (and you should sign up for The Ringer ASAP)

Echo And The Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (1984, Sire)

This week, the All-Time album is "Ocean Rain" by Echo and the Bunnymen. "Ocean Rain" is the 19th in my All-Time Album series (a new album is profiled every Wednesday).

I put this particular album off for a long time because it has been a very big part of my life for over three decades now. As always, I hope that I do it justice. Enjoy!
