There's a preview of this weekend's action in MLS here - whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/05/mls-pr… One for the USL Championship & CPL here - whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/05/usl-ch… And one for USL League One, NISA & MLS Next Pro here - whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/05/usl-le… Happy now?
If you want to know why a semi-pro team from near Montreal airport are making headlines in Canada this morning, read my round-up of the midweek action in the Canadian Championship, MLS, USL Jagermeister Cup & CONCACAF Champions Cup here: whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/05/canadi…
Because I'm CLEARLY not busy enough, I just dropped a minisode of the Sugar & Lust Radio Show, crammed full of power pop/new wave (what even *is* the difference?) from 1978: mixcloud.com/indysleaze/sug…
If you like, you can read my round-up of the weekend's action in @MLS (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/mls-ro…), @USLChampionship & @CPLsoccer (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/usl-ch…), and @USLLeagueOne @JagermeisterUSA Cup, @NISALeague & @MLSNextPro (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/usl-ja…). If not, ain't no thang.
Albums I have enjoyed this week: Sentiment by Claire Rousay; Twice Around the Sun by Ugly; Your Day Will Come by Chanel Beads; Best of Maria by Maria
You like them pop music from the past? Well I'll sure be damn playing it in the last Songs of Reappraise before the A1. Join me at 7pm on noiseboxradio.com - its the choice of a nude generation!
Hey! This week’s Sugar & Lust Radio Show is a 2007 indie pop special! m.mixcloud.com/indysleaze/sug…
Another great grind out performance by Austin FC today. Got those early goals and then put in the work to keep that lead #MLS
Great first half from Austin FC but surely this game can’t be long for a red? #MLS
I finished Tumble by @CeliaCPerez last night and it was a WONDERFUL read. That's two for two by Perez! (thanks, as always, to @ourcityburning for turning me onto her in the first place)
Busy day writing and doing radio show stuff. Working on your day off isn’t really work when the work you’re doing is fun.
Wuxtry! Wuxtry! I gots your weekend US soccer previews here! With all the @MLS (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/mls-pr…), @USLChampionship & @CPLsoccer (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/usl-ch…), and @USLLeagueOne JÄGERMEISTER CUP, @NISALeague & @MLSNextPro (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/usl-ja…) action!

The Canadian Championship, Canada's version of the FA Cup (kinda), gets underway tonight - read my history of the cup here (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/canadi…), with a preview of the midweek action (and CONCACAF Champions Cup & MLS Next Pro) here (whatisititsit.blogspot.com/2024/04/concac…)

Had a lovely time at @foundfootage in Nottingham last night - now back to pretending they’re my friends on YouTube until they tour again!
Albums I have enjoyed this week: Colours of Light by Project Gemini; Dream Talk by Still Corners; Chaos Emeralds by Elsa Hewitt; Wiggle Your Fingers by GospelbeacH
Who wants some live, awkward radio at 7pm? I mean, there's over a thousand of you following me on here, some bugger must fancy listening to me tonight! 1990 is the guest year and there's some Scottish nonsense. 7pm. noiseboxradio.com

Fucking hell, AEW are now booking directly to me. Like, scanning my brain, working out what's precisely calculated to make me identify with a babyface, and then building Omega's return around it.
Deliaphonic, you were a blessing. Thanks to whoever came to watch me perform!
BIG NEWS: 60MD now does zines! Working with the ever fabulous @aniellooooo, we're going to be supporting wrestling zine makers to create and publish their zines with us. Details in the link. sixtyminutedraw.com/does-zines We're also launching our very first zine today... 🧵

The NXT UK system fine tuned a lot of the already solid workers on the scene, but on the other hand took a few too early from the scene who weren't ready and then they had to play catch up coming back due to lack of match sharpness and will never get it back.
NXT UK is the reason your favourites are your favourites. Star factory 🌟
