We are all Cabo Verde

Cape Verde captured the hearts of the soccer world this tournament. Words can't describe. I was dubious of the 48-team World Cup. Maybe this Cape Verde team still would havet qualified with 32 (topped their group in qualifying). This team is the best argument for expanded tournament.

you just created a million cape verdes

They can never ruin soccer it’s too good

Malik’s free kick had topspin on it. Think about that.

It’s all aligning for The Disastah at Azteca ! #england #engerland

I am not sure younger #usmnt fans understand just how amazing it is to advance after two games. Usually it’s a tooth-and-nail scrap to even get to the knockout stage. What a time to be alive.

For some reason, first spring heat always reminds me of listening to Wilco and Wreckless Eric on the jukebox at Lakeside Lounge in the late '90s.

Cool record.

Loose memory popped into my head today. I remember when a dude in my poetry seminar in college submitted lyrics to Common's "I Used to Love H. E. R." as his own poem and the whole class workshopped it for two hours.

Was hoping to go see Phish for the first time since 1999 or something. Unsuccessful!

Today on WFMU: On Blurred and Obscured with Jonathan Herweg, a live set from Organs Obsolete aka Brooklyn's Richard Hoffman. Hoffman will be bringing his brand of bass-driven psychedelic pulses and left-field industrial electronics to the Blurred FMU airwaves (10 p.m. ET).

This is coming up in 15 min and it's gonna be amazing. Join album producers as we delve into the process and backstory of the landmark release of Woody Guthrie’s home tapes. folk-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Scott McDowell shows are abstract paintings of global sound globules that, when you stand 10 feet back and listen to them whole, just make sense. Listen up close for yr fave tunes by D'Angelo, Ryan Davis, or Paul Bley. Or pull up an easy chair, stare into the void, and be like, "It's a sailboat!"
