no time to think about this, busy reeling from the loss of Radio Sport's FM frequency. although I spose AM will lend a little nostalgic static to Wads's cricket commentary.

nice work if you can get it...and so with you on the drum circles. where's the red squad when you need them?
-
I'm not fussed by youtube as long as I can still watch all them ye olde clips - it's a fantastic tool for diggers.
for instance, just grabbed myself a stonking stash of 2nd hand 7s at Southbound and got to check them out via the interwebs. rather excited to get them home.
here's Rupert's People... 60s mod styles
I imagine though that if the way to view some stuff is blocked another way will be found. isn't that how the net works?

yeah, bollocks to all that, if that's the standard for penalties at this cup then there's going to be a truckload of them.
also bollocks was the free kick for obstructing the keeper before Croatia's 'equalizer.' also also bollocks was the tackle from behind in the build up Oscar's goal.
that ref should be toast.not a great start then. and jesus, but Brazil were a pale shadow of what was expected. no midfield control, headless chooks at the back and show ponies up front. they will improve, but it's going to have to be major major if they're going to move past the second round where (most likely) Spain or the Netherlands will be waiting. Croatia didn't have a lot happening up front aside from hard running and they caused big problems.
Luckily for Brazil, the Croatian keeper wasn't much chop.
so, roll on tomorrow, and go Mexico next Wednesday - for some reason I now have the 'ump against Brazil. also, go Uruguay, I got them in the office pool. -
oops, where's the edit button? wrong Buffy link, was looking for the track name...
that's betterer.

hey Russell, I get what you're saying about the Roys, but I reckon their Ain't Mutatin' remains one of the - not as many as there should be - FN recordings that still stands up - and the vocals are more, ahem, tuneful...
on another kick, very happy to finally get a copy of Buffy Sainte Marie's batshit Illuminations album, this is one of the more straight forward offerings,

it makes a nice companion piece to Julie (Let's all Go to the Zoo) Felix's Lightning album
otherwise, still pissed at the referreeing this morning. Croatia wuz robbed.

what do you reckon the odds of Cliff singing at the funeral are?

I can't see Brazil doing it - too much pressure and I'm not impressed with the squad they've selected. reckon this might be Argentina's to lose. that pairing is my dream final.
I've had my fill of Spanish passathons. as effective as it is it ain't the old samba style.
otherwise, and like many, I'm interested in how Belgium goes, they've targeted this cup pretty well and have an interesting squad. also wondreing if England can get out of their group and I'd love to see an African team kick on.
gonna be damn hard to concentrate on work in the mornings but. those 4am kick offs are looking harsh.
who cares, it's the bloody world cup. bring it on now. that opening game will be huge. -
and the show was perfectly timed in so many ways, but mostly because the scheduling allowed for the last call at the Windsor, a dash to the car, then back to whoever had the nearest telly. like radio with pictures that was community viewing.
and as for the ska on teevee,..Motorhead on teevee more like. now that rocked.
otherwise, really shit news to get up to. all the best to his family. -
can I just say this is top telly...now, as you were.
