1 The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
After waiting 23 years to see them they were always going to be the most played band of this month. This was the song that they opened the set with at Finsbury Park.

2 The Courteeners - Sycophant
One of the support bands at Finsbury Park. I wasn't too impressed with their first album , or third album to be honest, but they weren't bad on the day and some of the songs from those albums have started to grow on me and I actually quite like Falcon - the second album which this track is taken from.

3 Tequilajazzz - Кроме звезд
These Russian rockers have been a staple of playlists over the last few months. I saw them live in Kyiv, but they packed up in 2010.

4 Воплі Відоплясова - Були на селі
Now it's time to look forward to my holiday in August and who better to get you in the mood than Kyiv's finest, Воплі Відоплясова!

5 The James Taylor Quartet - Kooks Corner
Sometimes I like a bit of Acid Jazz, not that often, but when you're in the mood TJTQ are probably the acceptable face of the genre.

6 Happy Mondays - 24 Hour Party People
Well, it has been a retro month and The Roses weren't the only Madchester band that I listened to.

7 Stanton Warriors - Precint
A good funky band that have featured here before and are named after a drain cover of all things.

8 The Charlatans - Blackened Blue Eyes
As I was saying the Roses weren't the only Madchester band I listened to this month.

9 Northside - My Rising Star
One of Madchester's most underrated bands.

10 The Orb - Perpetual Dawn
We've had plenty of Orbital this year and now it's The Orb's turn to take over the ambient mantle.

11 ESG - You're No Good
They were a soul type band from the Bronx who were rather incongruously on Factory. Good stuff though.

12 Shocking Lemon - Inner Light
A Japanese Shoegaze band, as a big fan of the genre, I'm not sure how I missed them before.

13 Koreless - 4D
Supposedly dub step, but why doesn't all dub step sound like this?

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.
