Listened to the interviews w Lily and Mandy this week pre - Gotham v KC match and it was great to hear and appreciate how seriously and confidently the whole team took the match.

Aaahhh - 30 minutes to potential glory! Let’s go Gotham!
Ok while everybody's feeling good about a lot of stuff I'll just mention, my wildly hopeful read on the NWSL playoffs is that after last week, if Gotham could somehow go into KC and emerge with a win they'd definitely turn into the team of the year ...

If your plan this Fall is a) to rake the leaves off your lawn or b) not to rake the leaves off your lawn, there’s lots of great articles online supporting your decision.

Accidentally played what I think of as 'my funeral song' while prepping for a potential artist discussion; and now enjoying the thought of folks streaming around the church with tears running down as they're surrounded by the beautiful soundbath.

Lily Reale looked great in this international camp. She had strong presence tonight and is in a great position to build her role with the squad.

Gotham FC @gothamfc.bsky.social come back in a thriller to draw Louisville 2-2 and clinch playoffs. It was great to be there in person and see Lavelle convert a banger of a free kick from the top of the box to make it happen. (And I’m still glad Rose didn’t make that same kick in the ‘23 finals 😉)

I mean if you're gonna call your Billy Joel tribute band Captain Jack, you better be prepared for people to leave comments on your show promo posts saying "eh I'm just gonna sit at home and masturbate."

If I ever did manage to retire I could probably spend at least a few full 40 hour weeks happily reading old issues of Billboard and the Village Voice.

Another grown man throwing a tantrum like he's a 3yo toddler. Ffs, mate. Do the world a favour—get off the court and stay off.

Not a drummer so I don't know the terminology - but Dennis Davis's series of six-per-measure rolls across the kit leading from the bridge back into the verse on David Bowie's 'Wild is the Wind' is a thing of beauty.

Psyched about the upcoming documentary about Maxwell’s and the Hoboken scene. But will it mention the Elysian Fields bar a block away where you could stock up on 25-cent beers before heading up to the show?

That time I DJ’d our block party in Montclair in like 2005 and thought I was pretty slick with the ‘In Da Club’ / ‘Stayin’ Alive’ mashup - until I heard the 14-year-old from next door complaining ‘they RUINED it!’
