End of May play list



May 2013 by jim_bomb on Grooveshark Plenty of familiar bands got a play over the month of May and with the Stone Roses concert coming up and tickets for Happy Mondays in November in the bag there was a decidedly retro feel to what I have been playing recently.

1 The Stone Roses - This is the one
The version that appears on Garage Flower.

2 Рубль – Люовь - это...
More plays over the month for St.Petersburg foul-mouths 'Rouble'. The missing word in the title seems to be their favourite word. If you know Russian you can probably guess what it is.

3 Happy Mondays - W.F.L.
If you have a blast of the Roses you should probably have a blast of the Mondays too. Told you it had been a nostalgic month.

4 Kraftwerk - Tour de France
My favourite track by the grandads of techno.

5 Swervedriver - Rain Down
They were never my favourites from that scene, but I have grown to quite like them over the last month.

6 Curve - Chinese Burn
From the same era as Swervedriver, one of those bands I sometimes like to listen to and other times can't be bothered with. This month I listened to quite a few female vocalists from the early to mid 90s, but none as much as Curve.

7 Ellen Allien - Stadkind
Everyone's favourite Berlin techno musician and DJ. Well, mine anyway.

8 Ляпис Трубецкой – Ася
A relatively recent song from a band I listened to all the time in Moscow. Answers on a postcode for why I chose this one.

9 Buffalo Tom - Birdbrain
Like Swervedriver I never really got into them when they were at their peak, but they have been growing on me lately.

10 Сплин - Выхода нет
A classic from another band from St.Petersburg who seem to feature frequently in these playlists.

11 The Wonder Stuff - Circlesquare
Another band from back in the day who have had a lot of recent plays.

12 Orbital - Stringy Acid
The early pioneers of techno returned to form with Wonky last year and I've been playing a lot of their tracks from back in the early days and more recent stuff. This track comes from the Wonky album.

13 Aphex Twin - Heliosphan
Another early pioneer of techno.

Boca Juniors shirt history

Image
The first game that I will be at on Sunday sees Boca Juniors take on Paris Saint Germain. I have always wanted to go and see Boca Juniors and I can't see me getting over to Argentina any time in the near future, so I am going to have to make do with seeing them in North London. On my travels I have met plenty of Boca fans, but funnily enough they have all been Russian or Ukrainian. I am a bit disappointed that Martin Palermo has now retired, but I am still looking forward to it. Obviously to do justice to the club history of Boca Juniors I'd probably have to write a book, so here's a quick history of their kit and colours instead. When Boca were formed in 1905 they originally played in pink, but obviously came round to thinking that this was a bad idea and changed to a light blue colour later in the year. They didn't stick with this shirt for very long either and for the 3rd time in a year decided to change the shirt colour, this time to black and white stripes. The fol

shirt history AS Roma

Image
Roma were the club that I followed in Italy and although they are most famous for wearing red and yellow, hence the nickname giallo rosso the club didn't always wear those colours. AS Roma were formed in 1927 by a merger between SS Alba-Audace and Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS with Italo Foschi being the driving force behind the merger. AS Roma could also trace their lineage back to FBC Roma who were formed in 1901 and who wore red and yellow, but the first shirts they wore took the red, white and blue of Fortitudo-Pro Roma. Roma soon established themselves at the top table of Italian football and in 1931 finished runners up to Juventus and by now had settled on red and yellow as their colours. However, you'll have to take my word for it because the picture below shows Attilio Ferraris in black and white. In 1942 Roma went one better and won their first Scudetto with Amadeo Amadei scoring 18 goals to help them secure the title. Pictured below he is wearing the change shirt with a repl

Sud Tribune, Dortmund

Image
The Sud Tribune at Westfalen is famed for the noise and support that it gives the BVB team. They started up early and carried on until well after the match had finished despite the poor result. At the end the team looked suitably disappointed when they thanked the fans. Nobody apart from the Hannover fans probably expected 96 to win. Hopefully better times for the Sud Tribune are just around the corner.
