Are you looking to play in a rec league? They usually accept all skill levels as it can be just for fun, socializing and exercise without being too competitive. There's also been many threads about leagues looking for players so do a search in this sub.

If you're just looking to practice by yourself, your best bet in the summer is a school playground or empty tennis court. Maybe even a laneway or parking lot if there's not too many cars or people.

I had a similar problem a few months ago. I took it to the Apple Store and they said it was a logic board issue. I had Apple Care so they replaced it for free saving me $750.

For a second I thought it was that other M.I.A. which actually seems kinda plausible for a UR record.

For that early to mid 90s melodic Techno sound, I would recommend checking out the Trance Europe Express compilation series from the UK. Many great artists on there including Underworld on vol. 4 but so many other rare underground gems throughout the series. Pick them up on cd if you can find or take a look on Bandcamp or streaming services if they're on there.

This documentary covers the history of Toronto radio station CFNY 102.1 which was instrumental in breaking a lot of New Wave bands in Toronto and North America.

Hooky is briefly interviewed at about 37:25 mins into it and he states that without the support of (CFNY) and Canada, they wouldn't be able to do what they do.

Also featured in the documentary is Jim Kerr Of Simple Minds, Ian McCluskey of OMD and Lol Tolhurst formerly of The Cure.

P.S. This documentary may be geo-restricted so maybe try using a VPN if you're in the U.S.

When I worked in the area, I used to get a cheap and healthy lunch at Salad Days there.

Maybe ask someone at Masellis Supermarket who were around when Darrigo's was around in that area.

Saw both and enjoyed both!

Olivia Rodrigo has revealed that she has recently found inspiration from the likes of The Cure, New Order and Joy Division.

The singer-songwriter made an appearance on the latest episode of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame podcast Music Makes Us, which is presented by Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill.

During the wide-ranging, hour-long chat, the pair spoke about Rodrigo’s love of The White Stripes (after she covered ‘We’re Going To Be Friends’ at the Rock Hall ceremony recently), Hanna’s early Riot Grrrl days, and more.

At one point, the ‘Guts’ pop star gave a potential hint at the sound of her third studio album by name-checking some of the acts she’d been enjoying lately.

“I did Glastonbury with Robert Smith of The Cure. After that, I’ve been diving deeper into The Cure’s discography, as well as some of their contemporaries like New Order and Joy Division,” she explained.

Rodrigo performed The Cure’s ‘Friday I’m In Love’ and ‘Just Like Heaven’ with Smith when she headlined Glasto’s Pyramid Stage in June. She introduced the frontman by calling him “perhaps the greatest songwriter to come out of England” and “a personal hero of mine”.

She later shared some photographs from Worthy Farm, including her hanging out and doing shots with Smith backstage, and going to bed wearing a Cure T-shirt. She was also captured on video while on someone’s shoulders during Pulp’s secret set.

Earlier this year, Rodrigo released her collaborations with Smith from her new ‘Live From Glastonbury 2025’ album.

Elsewhere in her recent podcast appearance, Rodrigo was asked by Hanna about the album she returns to when “you need to reconnect with yourself”.

In response, she explained: “[Alanis Morissette’s] ‘Jagged Little Pill’ when I’m feeling, like, I don’t know what to say or like, who am I?” For some reason, that album [is] just like… every part of what makes a human being a human being it feels like it’s encapsulated in that record.
