However, many indie bands have faced delays of a year or more getting their albums pressed—and some have accused larger acts like Swift of jumping the queue. But is Swift to blame for the delays in getting records pressed? Late Thursday night, Damon Krukowski, of the bands Damon & Naomi and Galaxie 500, made a viral tweet, calling out Swift’s multiple vinyl editions. “Did you know none of the rest of us can get any vinyl pressed,” he wrote, alongside an image of a Billboard article listing the different versions of Midnights....

Rahm was just starting his backswing for the 80-foot shot at Austin Country Club in Texas when a sudden noise reverberated across the green. The 22-year-old Spaniard continued with his swing but hit the ball fat and he reacted in disgust when it stopped barely halfway to the hole. “That’s absolutely why I missed it,” Rahm told Golf Channel, referring to the noise, which NBC television said was a portable toilet door banging....

Shadman hit an unbeaten 36 as Bangladesh reached 87-2 at lunch on the opening day after skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and elected to bat first at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. Kemar Roach dismissed Mominul Haque just before the lunch break as Roston Chase took a simple catch at long on after the batsman made 29 runs. Chase earlier got the first breakthrough when he removed opener Soumya Sarkar, who made 19 before edging to Shai Hope at first slip....

German police are on the hunt for a burglar whose style choices were so ugly that no witnesses were later able to identify him. According to a report from a local German paper Der Spiegel, a bank just outside of Frankfurt was robbed on Tuesday. The man, who cops confirm was armed with a black pistol, demanded the teller hand over an unknown amount of cash before fleeing the scene....

“As we remember those we lost on 9/11, we also remember the spirit of unity and togetherness that defined the weeks and months after,” Obama tweeted Tuesday. “On this day of service, I’m reflecting on all those still working to embrace that spirit, today and every day.” Obama linked to a Fox 5 NY story about dozens of volunteers from the veterans charity The Mission Continues working together with the National Park Service and Fox Sports Supports to restore and maintain Ellis Island in honor of those who died on September 11, 2001....

The France international had yet again been the subject of speculation throughout another transfer period. Reports in Spain suggested the 26-year-old had reached a secret agreement with Barcelona that would see him move to Camp Nou in the summer, but the Catalan side were forced to deny any such deal was in place. The forward has also been heavily linked with Manchester United, though Jose Mourinho’s side ended up signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal....

Valencia started the game brightly, and Denis Cheryshev hit the post in the early minutes. The away side soon had the lead, when Kevin Gameiro ran onto Rodrigo’s through ball to finish emphatically. To Camp Nou’s disbelief, Valencia doubled their lead. Sergi Roberto fouled Daniel Wass, and Daniel Parejo converted from the spot. Barcelona pulled one back before half-time, when they were awarded a penalty as well. Lionel Messi dispatched it coolly to reignite the home fans....

Barca needed to weather the storm in their latest game in La Liga when they welcomed Sevilla to the Camp Nou on Sunday, but they held their own quite well. The Blaugrana were the dominant side and had six shots on target against their stubborn opponents. In the end, Pedri’s sublime effort gave them a 1-0 win and it was the least they deserved. Barcelona’s current form is a far cry from the disorganized side they were four months ago under Ronald Koeman....

The Spain international missed Barca’s last four games after suffering the left leg injury during the club’s King’s Cup quarter-final win at Real Sociedad on Jan 19. Iniesta, who was sidelined for two months with a knee problem earlier in the season, trained with his team mates on Thursday. “The first team captain is well on the road to recovery from the injury that he picked up against Real Sociedad and was able to join his colleagues for today’s workout,” Barcelona said in a statement....

The club says 37,535 of its 118,580 eligible members participated in the referendum, with 72 percent voting yes. Members voted at the stadium on Saturday, when Barcelona beat Real Betis 3-1. Built in 1957 and enlarged in 1982, Camp Nou holds 98,000. The plan is to increase that to 105,000. The approved project includes the construction of a new sports pavilion for the club's basketball, handball, indoor football and roller hockey teams....

The Rock has most famously been associated in the past with Microsoft. He played a part in unveiling the original Xbox back in 2001 and has since carried on his partnership with Microsoft by collaborating with them to promote his ZOA energy drink brand. While this highlights Microsoft and its various IPs as a good place to start, it’s also important to look at The Rock and his filmography in order to narrow down the video game franchise he could be potentially bringing to the big screen....

Saina Nehwal became the first and only Indian to win an Olympic medal in badminton when she brought home a bronze from London in 2012. “India will win at least two medals if not more from Rio Olympics and the colour of the metal will be even better,” Das Gupta assured. The sports administrator, who is also the chairman of the ongoing Premier Badminton League (PBL), said the six-team tournament will benefit Indian players to perform better in the future....

In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, the Browns quarterback revealed how he essentially snubbed the Chargers ahead of the draft. Since they had the No. 17 pick of the first round, Mayfield — who became the top pick of the draft — didn’t make much of their interest in him. Via GQ: MORE: 2019 NFL Predictions with Cowboys winning it all This type of attitude just shows off Mayfield’s personality, albeit to an extreme....

Either that, or he’s going to be making a very awkward return next season. On Tuesday night, as rumors of shared interest between Deshaun Watson and the Browns heated up as the Texans continue to pursue a trade partner, Mayfield tweeted out a letter to Browns fans saying that he too doesn’t know what’s going on, but he is grateful to the city. “This is not a message with hidden meaning....

The future-former Cleveland Browns quarterback is still sitting on the Browns’ depth chart, but behind Deshaun Watson, as he waits for a potential trade. Speaking on a recent episode of the “Ya Neva Know” podcast, Mayfield explained that he hasn’t had the best go of it in Cleveland, saying that the organization promised him one thing but actually did another, leading to feeling disrespected by the organization (timestamp: 1:07:34): Mayfield would also say that Seattle might be the most likely landing spot for him for the 2022 season (editor’s note: video contains NSFW language):...

With many of these classes being magic-based, these spell choices are plucked straight from the world of Dungeons and Dragons, making Baldur’s Gate 3 a great title to be picked up by tabletop fans. There is a variety of powerful and entertaining spells to decide from that can make combat against, bandits, goblins, or even the biggest of foes much easier, it’s just about picking the right ones. 10 Speak With Animals – Level One Spell As one of the few spells that work better outside of combat, players that pick up the Speak With Animals spell are sure to have a different experience while playing compared to others....

Baldur’s Gate 3 is already switching up the established Baldur’s Gate formula with turn-based combat rather than the real-time battle of its predecessors. This is in part due to Baldur’s Gate 3 being the first in the series developed by Larian Studios and not Black Isle Studios, but it also further entrenches the game in its tabletop RPG roots. The game is based on the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition ruleset, and like the many other editions that came before it, 5th edition is centered around using polyhedral dice for nearly all aspects of play....
