It’s been a long time since I posted for #TicketStubWed
#MusicChallenge since mine are still packed away in a moving box. In the meantime, here’s the ticket from the last time I was able to see The Cure. Interpol opened and Diego Luna was a couple rows in front of me.

I knew Andy’s history with A Certain Ratio but didn’t know Corinne sang on this track off their Force album. Here’s the extended mix off an Australia-only 12”.

It’s fascinating to see a Canadian soccer team show up in the US Soccer Bluesky feed. It’s like if a California team played in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

I think it is very fair to ask, and expect, the league and its teams not to fly with these carriers. You have sth who could not go to games this season because of the fear of deportation. Show an ounce of solidarity, I beg.
🏆⚽️✈️ After winning the NWSL championship Saturday night, Gotham FC have just departed San Jose on board the very same all-white Avelo jet (N805VL) that lost cabin pressure with shackled ICE abductees aboard two weeks ago and had to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas 😬
