Yes, Athletes Still Sign Autographs Through the Mail

So, I’ve been busy starting a new hobby this year. I’ve been sending off sports cards to athletes through the mail to get signed. I found it to be rewarding and fun.

I’m horrible at anything video-wise, but I have been posting videos on my YouTube channel. I include my weekly returns from athletes from baseball, football, basketball, and even WWE and the Olympics. I’ll explain how I do this below the embedded video.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: November 2021

I was only going to do seasonal playlists, but I’ve found a lot of great new music since my Fall playlist last month.

I used to do these playlists every month, but a few of my side projects for super busy and the pandemic hit. I find more new music during football season because I sit here with headphones glued to my ears while I write 10k+ words a week.

I always keep an ear out for new music. I love discovering new bands/songs, it’s a habit from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content. Keep sending me tracks via email or Twitter.

If you want to listen to songs that appeared on past playlists, you can listen to our playlist on Spotify or go here to view our past hipster playlists.

Sweetbob’s Punk Rock Christmas Music Playlist

I used to release a new music playlist every month, but the time it took to put together was just too crazy to keep up with during football season.

I would receive numerous emails from readers with suggestions (I appreciated every single one) and music label publicity departments signed me up for a regular diet of press release emails. I just spent way too much time putting them together. I may dabble by doing a few playlists in 2021, but the monthly lists are unfortunately in the past.

I decided to put together a list of songs from my own personal punk rock Christmas playlist from Spotify. You won’t find Mariah Carey or Burl Ives on this one, but I think you’ll enjoy it.

Have a great holiday season and stay safe.

The Best Alternatives To Cable For Watching Live Sports

So many people have a cable subscription that is costing way too much and they never really use it, especially as most of the best TV is on streaming services like Netflix these days. But they don’t cancel their subscription because they don’t want to miss out on sports. You get a lot of great sports packages on cable services and if you want to keep up with all of the games, you probably don’t want to cancel it. But cable isn’t the only way that you can watch sports these days and there are plenty of ways that you can still keep up without paying over the odds for it. These are some of the best alternatives to cable for watching live sports.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: June 2019

It’s been quite awhile since I compiled a good ole’ music playlist. I was just hammered during the football season and I’ve been focusing on a side gig I’ve been building up since the Winter. It’s going well, but I’ve really been meaning to make an indie music playlist this month.

This playlist was super easy to make as I have a ton of new stuff sitting in a few Spotify and YouTube playlists that I throw songs onto that I want to save. The playlist is definitely a banger this month.

I always keep an ear out for new music. I love discovering new bands/songs, it’s a habit from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content. Keep sending me tracks via email or Twitter.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: August 2018

I’ve been crazy busy lately and this upcoming month will be nuts! I have to do a lot of traveling and need to put up some NFL team previews and fantasy football content. It will be a crunch, but it will be done for you guys.

Why will I be traveling a lot? Well, my brother needs an LVAD heart pump surgery and it has to be done down in Indianapolis (a few hours away). He will be there for a few weeks and then I’ll be over at his house a lot to help in his recovery. He still has a long way to go in the long run since he needs a heart transplant, but this should help stabilize his heart while he is put on the transplant list. If you want to donate to my brother’s heart recovery, you can find it here…or feel free to email me for his address to send him a card.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: July 2018

July is the month of fireworks, cookouts and San Diego Comic-Con. I know the last one was a bit random, but I’m a nerd that looks forward to watching all the new movie trailers and upcoming toy releases.

Due to the heat and seasonal allergies, I’ve been stuck inside the last few days. It gave me time to really do a deep dive and find some great new music.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: June 2018

It’s nearly June and it’s starting to feel like it outside. It has been in the 90’s for nearly a week. I live in Indiana, so it’s pretty noteworthy.

A few years ago, I did a ‘cover song month’ during June. I had a lot of fun doing it, but a lot of work was put into it…and not a lot of sports (or anything else) was covered that month. I threw in a few cover songs on this month’s playlist to pay homage to past Junes.

Most musicians get their start by playing cover songs at live shows. Some venues won’t even book a musician if they don’t play some covers (and hopefully mix in some of their original music). I think it’s important to showcase a musician’s ability to adapt a popular song and make it their own.
