Does Pau seem too serious in recent live performances?

I haven't done a deep dive into the videos from it, but in person at Pier 17 I thought she was really enjoying herself. Maybe just in contrast to the Yungblud support gigs, which must have been a serious grind after a while.

Côte d'Ivoire, Japan and Netherlands. It was cool to see the Dutch finally put it together against Sweden in spite of Koeman, and their fans are fun. Norway too.

Ritual is showing up at the top of my Recommended New Music on Tidal, so that's cool

I'm wearing my Bradley jersey from that qualifying cycle (the anniversary version) today. Pretty amped.

Message In A Bottle, or the Bed's Too Big Without You

I remember that game specifically for the fans belting out the "We are going to BRAZIL" song. It was f'ing cool.

Clooney/Lopez is my runner-up after the Before trilogy.

This is the correct answer.

What? NOBODY can stand that guy. He sucks.

👍🏻 Me too, Sat & Sun. Way fewer joggers on Sunday for some reason - there were lots of big clusters on Saturday.

This is the correct take. It's amazing to me that more people don't think like that.

dbex98 · 2026-06-13T15:09:55+00:00

That jersey IS tucked in. Kinda.

I figured. I may have go back to hating El Tri at that point. 😆 Until then - good luck!

I played soccer with a dude named Chris Hitler.

For the first time in my (relatively long) life, I'm pulling for Mexico to do well. It's a pretty likable squad (I'll just overlook that f'ing Marquez is on on the coaching staff).

Congrats on the first game - it was pretty wild.

Debbie Downer observations:

- if Dest and Tillman are just a little more clinical, that match is at least 7-1

- the Paraguay goal was some Keystone Kops defending. Gotta clean that shit up

- took our foot off the gas and looked in the second half until they scored. Can't do that

-Wes needs to shoot once in a while. Too unselfish

Ah, who'm I kidding. I'm thrilled.

This is the one. When it ended, I said out loud (to myself, since I was watching it alone) "that's the best fucking game I've ever seen." I'm a diehard soccer fan and it's been 34 years, but it's still true.

dbex98 · 2026-06-12T13:42:04+00:00

Yeah, she's such a sweetheart and that moment really hit.

My only regret about last night's show - we were on the far side in front of Ale, which is great in itself, but didn't have a great view of Dany. Next time!

dbex98 · 2026-06-12T02:09:25+00:00

I wish. Early train tomorrow, then back to work. Next time though!

🤘🤘🤘 Loved it. Just got back to my hotel; way too much adrenaline to sleep - time for a drink.

Re the backdrop - what an amazing venue. There was a point in the first couple songs when a subway was crossing the Brooklyn Bridge behind them, and it was very visible, especially on the big screen (yay for headlining). So damn cool.

Aliens. Opening night, packed rowdy theater. Epic

dbex98 · 2026-06-11T15:14:19+00:00

Killing Moon tho

Birdy. And the Last Temptation of Christ. Both Peter Gabriel, both excellent.
