I'm cheering for the US team in the World Cup but it's so wrong that a political phone call would override the referee and the VAR ruling. The red card should stand or all red cards should be negated. Keep politics out of football, it's the beautiful game that brings the world together.

Great game. Mexico were fantastic, but England, down to 10 men held them off to win 3 to 2. Brilliant. Both teams should be proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇲🇽 love you both.

The Blades are a house divided today. The wifey is all in for Mexico, I have to go for Harry Kane and the boys. We'll find out who triumphs later this afternoon.

I'm a little late with this reminder, but tomorrow it's the 1st, so as soon as you wake up remember to say White Rabbits White Rabbits White Rabbits, and then according to the old English superstition you'll have good luck all month. So if you want a great July, don't forget!

It was 38 years ago today that Depeche Mode played at the Rosebowl in Pasadena for concert 101 of the Music For The Masses tour. I'll be celebrating that anniversary onTheme Thursday today at 3p PT on SiriusXM 1st Wave Who was at that unforgettable show?

To everyone who's asked about a replay of the SiriusXM 1st Wave Hollywood Happy Hour with the brilliant Oingo Boingo Former Members, good news. Last week's interview/performance is now available on the SiriusXM App under the 1st Wave Specials bucket! Check it out and enjoy. You'll be blown away!

Happy Richard Blade day to everyone in LA. Hope it's a great one for you.

If you're in LA, are you looking forward to tomorrow's holiday? What holiday, you ask . June 9th is Richard Blade Day. I got my star on the 6th, but the City Council proclaimed the 9th, RB day. So let your boss know you're not coming into work - I'm sure they'll understand.

Two years ago today I received one of the greatest honors of my life - a star on the legendary Holywood Walk of Fame. Thank you to everyone who showed up for the celebrations. It's a memory I cherish dearly.

Great audience tonight here at the Avalon Hollywood SOLD OUT and ready to party!

A very Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope the season - and Santa - brings you love and happiness. All the best from Krista, me, and Chloe.

The Depeche Mode Convention 2025 is underway and what a fantastic crowd already. We have people here that have flown in from Dallas, Mexico City and even Plymouth in England. The first band, Faith & Devotion has just taken the stage and the fans are loving it. Wish you were here.

Tonight my final gig of 2025, The Depeche Mode Convention at the Avalon in Hollywood. Two incredible DM tribute bands a line up of star DJs, plus videos, contests, giveaways and more. There's collectibles and shirts available. So much fun. You'll love the night. I'll see you there.

In one week Saturday, Dec 13th - join me and Steven Wayne for a really fun 80's party in Palm Desert at Fisherman's Grotto. I'll be DJing and Steven will have his massive screen and video show to make it an amazing night and a great start to the holiday season. Last time it sold out so don't miss it

For the last month of the year, particularly one with lots of gatherings, don't forget to make it good by saying, "White Rabbits, White Rabbits, White Rabbits" as soon as you wake up. That way, according to the old English superstition you'll have good luck all month long. Try it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you and yours have a safe and wonderful day. And thank you for always being there for me. So appreciate it.

Don't miss one of my last gigs of the year at Fisherman's Grotto in Palm Desert. Last time it sold out in days, this time I'll be DJing plus Steven Wayne will join me with his giant screen video show. See you there for fun, music, dancing, food, and drinks on Saturday, December 13th.

Tomorrow will be officially OMD day in Los Angeles. They are being honored by the LA City Council and the band will greet their fans a little after 10am on the steps of City Hall, so if you are in the area come and down and enjoy the celebration.

It's rock night at The Sands so I had to say hi to Ratt!

So last night between Wang Chung and Howard Jones I was able to do my full 45 minute stand-up routine. The audience was amazing, and at one point I borrowed a wig from a girl in the front row. A lot of people took pics and videos, and it seemed to have been.a big hit. It was certainly fun!

Huge line of wonderful people waiting for my signing and photo session today at The Sands in Cancun. So lovely to meet them all in person and find out their stories.

After tonight's epic performances I got to hang with Howard Jones and his amazing band and crew that I was honored to tour with twice this year for two months, criss-crossing the country. The gang was back together. Looking forward to touring with such talented people again.

And tonight is underway at The Sands in Cancun. THREE great acts in a row - Howard Jones, Holly Johnson, and first up it's Nick and Jack from Wang Chung.

Howard Jones is soundchecking for tonight's show with Holly Johnson and Wang Chung tonight here at The Sands in Cancun. He sounds so good.

Night #1:at The Sands in Cancun. The welcome foam and noodle party. It's going to be a great week.

Off to The Sands Rocks in Cancun for a few days to party and DJ there with the wonderful Howard Jones, plus Wang Chung and Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes To Hollwood. I'll be doing my show on SiriusXM 1st Wave all week from there and posting pics. Should be an awesome time. #iflyalaska

Sad news. David Ball, from Soft Cell, passed away last night. He'd been battling ill health, and Marc Almond told me that he had to drop out of the US Soft Cell tour because of it. They were instrumental in starting the British Invasion of the 80s.He will be terribly missed.

Flying back to LA after an incredible few days on the east coast and the wonderful wedding of Alicia and Topher last night. The airport is super quiet for Krista and I's early morning flight, so we'll probably doze off at 35,000 feet. Back on SiriusXM 1st Wave tomorrow. Talk to you then #iflyalaska

At Alicia and Topher's wedding this afternoon.

First day on the east coast. Heading through Maine and then into New Hampshire. Stopped at Gary's Tavern in Naples (not Italy!) for lunch. Fun bar and they even have an IPA for 80's fans - Totally Tubular. Fun times.

It's Indigenous People's Day, I learned so much when I was writing my first novel, SPQR, and working with a dear friend, Grey Eagle, to get as much correct as possible. Times have obviously changed so much, but our country's first inhabitants should be remembered and respected.

Thinking of buying a coffee maker tomorrow during Prime Days. Question. Anyone have any recommendations for which DECAF K-cup brand I should get for the machine? Thanks.

Here's exciting news, the audio versions of Lockdown Interviews & Unlocked Interviews will be out in December - the ultimate Christmas present for 80's fans with over 30 hours of conversations with your fav artists. For your next car drive you'll have Simon himself talking to you.

In 30 minutes, the first SiriusXM 1st Wave Hollywood Happy Hour LIVE from the SiriusXM LA Garage studios. Special guests include Tom Bailey from Thompson Twins, Pete Byrne of Naked Eyes, and a special surprise guest performing live for the invited audience. Don't miss it. Tune into Ch 33 and enjoy.
