A Note on Advertising, Idiots, and Obnoxious Hats
We hear it a lot, these days, that football is emphatically for everyone. That seems right and logical to us. ASRV is also for everyone – the breadth and variety of experience shared by footballers and football fans in many times, many places and many societies make it a fascinating (and sometimes, unexpectedly educational) subject area to read and write about. You’ve probably guessed that we feel strongly about this, which is why we were very unhappy to discover an ad on ASRV (somewhat ironically on this post!) for a particular type of hat.

Playlisting: The FA Cup
CB writes... I'm an unrepentant Cup romantic, I love an underdog story - and we all know they're few and far between these days. This season has actually been thoroughly refreshing in that respect, what with Newcastle winning the League Cup (their first trophy in 70-odd years!), and now Crystal Palace lifting their first FA Cup EVER at the weekend. Despite the usual identikit repeat winners of recent years, you can, however, usually trust the FA Cup for a bit of unexpected drama. League form goes out the window and clubs in the lower tiers can get their chance to shine by unceremoniously dumping the big boys out on their arses.

Kyuss. “Gardenia.” 1995. Milan, Italy. TV broadcast on Segnali di Fumo — pre MTV Italy — with the band in top form, in particular Scott Reeder on bass. If you need a song which exemplifies “desert stoner”, this is it. Welcome to Sky Valley 🏜️

Yes. Yes it is. I mean, who'd be a Spurs fan?

Oh. Me.
