We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian Championship chat and we're joined this episode by AFTN writer Felipe Vallejo. Football brings highs and lows and if you're a Whitecaps fan, you've had some pretty wild swings of those in the past week as the team scraped by CPL side Valour FC in the Canadian Championship, lost heavily in MLS to Colorado Rapids, then bounced back in style and started to look a little bit like their old selves in a big win at Houston Dynamo four days later. We delve into the talking points coming out of those three matches and happenings off the pitch, as Pedro Vite gets transferred to Mexico and a new Peruvian is coming to town. Are the 'Caps set up for the season run-in? What are the expectations now? And what help is still needed? Plus there's still time to look at the upcoming Canadian Championship semi-finals and the tough task facing the Whitecaps, we cast our eyes over the first half of the 2025 CPL season, and talk about the FIFA Club World Cup final. All of this and music-wise, Frank Black continues his residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Longpigs and Heavy Stereo, and My Brother Woody return in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.27: Intro - Vancouver Rise, Club World Cup 10.47: Whitecaps results rollercoaster in full swing in Colorado and Houston 40.00: Whitecaps San Diego preview and the lie of the land in MLS West 56.18: Milkshake Man - Emmanuel Sabbi 58.46: Whitecaps transfer comings and goings 75.25: Canadian Championship semis set 93.30: CPL midseason review 111.00: Wavelength - My Brother Woody - The A to Z of Football

Beta Trip, the new project from Toronto multi-instrumentalist Steve Lewin, announces his debut full-length album Superette, out September 26 on Having Fun, the rock imprint of We Are Busy Bodies. The first advance single, āJuliet,ā lands June 13 and offers a high-energy introduction to Lewin's matured sonic vision. Melodic, emotionally resonant, and firmly rooted in the atmospherics of Britpop and the grit of 90s alternative rock, āJulietā kicks off a ten-track journey that bridges nostalgic textures with fresh perspective. It marks Lewin's return to his roots under the Beta Trip moniker, drawing influence from Elbow, Radiohead, and Pearl Jam. āJulietā is a hook-heavy, propulsive alt-pop song that examines misguidance, both in others and in oneself, while leaning into themes of growth, perspective, and closure. With layered guitars, rich harmonies, and a melodic sensibility that balances grit and shimmer, the track brings a catchy collision of melody and drive. Though it carries the appearance of simplicity, āJulietā was crafted over many years, performed for audiences across the world in varied ideations, but never recorded, until now. It finally came together amidst the reflection and recalibration that sparked Beta Trip, and in doing so, not only found its way onto Superette, but easily claimed itself as the lead single. The result sets the tone for an album that fuses introspection with anthemic energy.

One of the brightest lights of the Britpop splash of the 90s were Kula Shaker. They successfully merged guitar-driven rock with psychedelia with strong Indian themes so seamlessly there was no one else like them. After two successful albums and huge singles like "Tattva", "Govinda" and "Hey Dude", and with frontman Crispian Mills on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the band took a break for a few years before storming back in 2007 and releasing great albums since. Last year saw their latest album Natural Magick and more new albums are promised for 2025 and '26. Crispian joins us this week to discuss it all including the Indian influences, coming from a "royal" family, and everything else. It's a good time to be a Kula Shaker fan!Ā www.kulashaker.co.ukĀ www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod Ā

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian Championship chat and interviews. It was a tough Friday night under the lights for the Whitecaps, falling 3-0 to MLS basement team LA Galaxy. What went wrong and is there genuine cause for concern or is this just down to the weakened squad from international duty and injuries? We delve into all of that and chat with the returning winger Jayden Nelson about his Gold Cup experiences with Canada, forward Nelson Pierre about signing his first team deal, and young Canadian Antoine Coupland about his MLS minutes, his first MLS goal, and his hopes for the future. Toronto FC fans were given a Canada Day gift by MLSE when they announced the release of Italian Designated Players Lorzeno Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi. We chat about how much of a bust they were in the grand scheme of things and talk Whitecaps DPs. Who have been the best and the worst DPs to pull on a blue and white jersey in Vancouver? Plus there's still time to talk about the Gold Cup final, the FIFA Club World Cup, Vancouver FC's loss to Forge in CPL action, and hear from Valour FC head coach Philip Dos Santos about his side's big quarter-final second leg coming up against the Whitecaps. All of this, and music-wise, Frank Black continues his residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Supergrass and Cast, and we pay tribute to Diogo Jota in Wavelength.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into one of the most defining ā and divisive ā social phenomena of 1990s Britain: Lad Culture. From the beer-soaked pages of Loaded to the banter-fuelled chaos of TFI Friday, Lad Culture reshaped British masculinity, media, and nightlife in its own cheeky, irreverent image. Whether you loved it, hated it, or just got swept along with it, this cultural moment left a legacy that's still felt today. We trace its roots to the mid-90s launch of Loaded magazine, a publication that celebrated lager, football, music, and women with a wink and a smirk. With its tagline āFor men who should know better,ā the magazine ignited a publishing revolution and sparked a nationwide identity shift. Soon, the lads weren't just in magazines ā they were all over our screens too, from the lovable oafs in Men Behaving Badly to the raucous party atmosphere of TFI Friday. Lad Culture wasn't confined to print and television. It bled into fashion, music, and the national psyche. Britpop bands like Oasis became lad anthems, while Paul Smith suits and Adidas Gazelles became part of the dress code. And of course, no discussion of Lad Culture would be complete without a visit to the pub ā the spiritual home of the 90s lad and the birthplace of ābanterā as both bonding ritual and social defence mechanism. But for all its charm and cultural clout, Lad Culture had a darker side. Its objectification of women, celebration of binge drinking, and paper-thin irony around political correctness drew increasing criticism as the decade progressed. As digital media rose and political realities shifted in the early 2000s, Lad Culture lost its edge ā and its influence. Still, its impact lingers. From our advertising to our online discourse, echoes of Lad Culture remain part of how Britain talks, jokes, and remembers its recent past. In this episode, we unpack the rise and fall of the lads, and ask what their moment in the sun tells us about gender, identity, and the 1990s spirit of rebellion ā both real and performative. Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth. Obsessed with 90s nostalgia and 90s celebrities, we'll rewind the years and take you back to the greatest era of our lives. Ā New episodes bursting with nostalgia of the 90s released on Tuesdays. Please subscribe to our podcast and we'll keep you gooey in 1990s love. Find us on Twitter @talk2thehandpod or email us at jimmy@talk2thehand.co.uk or beth@talk2thehand.co.uk

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and Canadian national team chat and interviews, in what has very much been a week of highs and lows. It was an eventful week in Whitecapsland, both on and off the pitch. A defeat to a highly clinical San Diego side saw them lose first place in the MLS Western Conference, but they bounced back in style with an important win at their old nemesis LAFC. We delve into the main talking points coming out of both matches, look at what caught our eye with the latest salary releases, and talk about the 'Caps' All-Star selections. Our feature interview this episode is with the man that's guided the Whitecaps to their best ever start to a season, Danish head coach Jesper Sorensen. It's been a great start to the Sorensen era here in Vancouver, with a win percentage of almost 50%, battling for first place in MLS, and reaching the club's first continental cup final. We chat about all of that and settling into life in Vancouver in our extensive and exclusive interview. We also delve into Canada's shock defeat to Guatemala at the Gold Cup and what lessons need to be learned from it. Plus there's chat about the costs of Vancouver hosting next year's World Cup, the action at this year's FIFA Club World Cup, and the action packed BC derby in the CPL. Music-wise, a solo Pete Shelley wraps up his residency as our Album of the Month, while Frank Black begins his, we've a Britpop song from Dubstar, and we go back to 1975 in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.26: Intro - football pain 06.20: FIFA Club World Cup chat 22.40: Music chat - The Pixies, Glastonbury, karaoke highs and lows 28.10: Whitecaps salaries are out - what caught our eye 39.13: San Diego loss exposes some Whitecaps holes 52.30: Whitecaps bounce back to beat LAFC 67.30: Jesper Sorensen interview 106.53: Canada crash out of Gold Cup 136.50: Vancouver's World Cup hosting costs revealed 151.40: An eight-goal CPL BC derby spectacular 170.25: Wavelength - Bruce Thompson - My World Is A Football

This week, we saddle up for another bumpy ride through the dystopian tech clown show. We kick off with the surveillance state's greatest hits: ICE raids sweeping L.A., a website literally called FuckLAPD.com that lets you ID cops by their mug shots, and a Norwegian tourist who learned the hard way that having a JD Vance chipmunk meme on your phone is now grounds for deportation. Pro tip: if you're traveling to the U.S., you might want to wrap your phone in lead and bury it in a cornfield.In the news, Big Balls has apparently rolled his way from Elon's Department of Government Efficiency to the Social Security Administrationābecause nothing says āgovernment modernizationā like a 19-year-old tech bro with a meme nickname. Meanwhile, Tesla robotaxis are hitting the roads (and maybe a few pedestrians) with human babysitters in tow, Waymo and Uber are turning Atlanta into Blade Runner Lite, and Texas wants a permit for your self-driving car. Over in AI hell, judges can't agree if training your chatbot on stolen books is fair use or just digital asbestos. YouTube, never one to miss a race to the bottom, is rolling out an AI Slop button so you can crank up the crap to 11.In Media Candy, Russell Crowe is beefing up his IMDb with Highlander, Henry Cavill is along for the ride, and Anthony Bourdain Day is apparently a thing (even though he'd have rolled his eyes at it). We also dig into everything from Minecraft movies to the sad demise of Blue Microphones at the hands of Logitech. Plus, Dave Bittner drops by to commiserate about malware, retro gaming handhelds, and why some Star Wars maps are basically porn for nerds.

Sonya and Glenn also reveal exclusive details about their upcoming eighth studio album, currently being recorded at London's legendary RAK Studios with acclaimed producer Danton Supple, known for his work with Coldplay, Morrissey, Patti Smith, and Dave Gahan. In a candid and wide-ranging conversation, the duo reflect on the optimism and bite of ON, their rise during the Britpop explosion, the highs and hurdles of their journey, and why Echobelly's message still resonates in today's world. It's a heartfelt look back ā and an exciting glimpse forward. Tune in to Episode #233 of the XS Noize Podcast for a compelling mix of nostalgia, insight, and fresh energy, as Sonya Madan and Glenn Johansson discuss 30 years of ON and what's still to come.Ā Or listen viaĀ YouTubeĀ |Ā Apple PodcastsĀ |Ā SpotifyĀ |Ā Amazon MusicĀ |Ā RSS āĀ Find The XS Noize Podcast'sĀ complete archive of episodes here.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and Canadian national team chat and interviews. Canada is flying high at the 2025 Gold Cup, at least on the pitch with wins over Honduras and Curacao. Off it, head coach Jesse Marsch has been ruffling CONCACAF feathers and was under investigation over incidents in Vancouver last week. We delve into the two victories, the standout performers, and the drama off the pitch. The FIFA Club World Cup is coming to the end of its group stage, and while the much maligned tournament has drawn a lot of criticism, the footballing fare on offer has been first class and very entertaining. We look at the tournament so far and see what lessons could and should be learned ahead of hosting next year's actual World Cup here in North America. The Whitecaps have had much needed and well-deserved time off after a crazy first half of their season. They're going to be back on the pitch on Wednesday to take on San Diego in what is now a battle of the top two teams in the MLS West. Who saw that coming when we saw the schedule?! We look ahead to that match up and discuss the first half of the 'Caps season with head coach Jesper Sorensen, captain Ranko Veselinovic, and forward Emmanuel Sabbi. Plus we chat with rookie standout Tate Johnson about his stellar first six months as a Whitecap, his first international experience with a US national team, riding camels in Cairo, and he helps launch our new food section as we talk milkshakes! All of this plus music-wise, a solo Pete Shelley continues his residency as our Album of the Month, we've a Britpop song from Whiteout, and a summer kick-off classic from Arab Strap features in Wavelength.

On today's brand new episode of the cast, we take a look at all the Britpop bands that graced the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart back in the day highlighted most notably by Oasis, but I give you my take and my reason as why Blur is the greatest Britpop band of the era and talk about how their upbeat melodies and the genius of Damon Albarn's witty lyricism and calming vocal presence that ushered in a sexy swagger and confidence not seen by any other band of that era. We also take a gander as to why British bands were so popular in the early years of the chart and had a defining characteristic that American artists couldn't capitalize on for quite some time. We also take a look at some other bands that didn't get a whole lot of notice and a short chart history, highlighted most notably by Travis and their most prominent hit "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" which I play for you at the end of the cast.

Nostalgia is something that I ponder a lot as I get older ā I've got way too much time on my hands. But it's such a layered emotion of experiences, some vivid, some half-forgotten and some probably embellished. The band you never got to see live. A long-lost lover. How good you didn't look in that army surplus jacket. Summer road trips. Friends lost. That gig that ended in a riot.Ā I'm gonna read out some lyrics from a song by the Buzzcocks called ā¦ā¦..āNostalgiaāāAbout the future I only can reminisceFor what I've had is what I'll never getAnd although this may sound strangeMy future and my past are presently disarrangedAnd I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to comeāNostalgia for today, knowing that it won't last forever. Future nostalgia. Seeing a band for the first time in a small basement, buying the t-shirt and anticipating that a future generation is going to do the same.I think I'm of a generation where I'm seeing music cycles reinvent themselves, come full circle, younger generations liking the same music I liked when I was their age, whatever you wanna call it. So I'm seeing this connection with my past memories, some good, some horrible (that'll be Britpop). Only kidding, but there are some songs I can't play because the memories are too hard. But that's life and that's the beautiful power of music.The songs of Jeanines make me feel like I'm flicking through a photo album of my life. Their songs very infrequently clock in over the 1 minute 30 second mark (which totally works for me) and makes it all the more remarkable that they fit in such addictive, poignant melodies and harmonies to perfectly craft their songs. Check out their upcoming, third album, How Long Can It Last, for a perfect 13.It was a pleasure to have Alicia and Jed from the band with me.https://www.iwannajumplikedeedee.comI Wanna Jump Like Dee Dee is the music podcast that does music interviews differently.

Another week, another great modcast coming your way. I'm, kicking off the show with an American 60s band that sounds almost more mod than the British mods of their day. The band is Powder and I included them this week in part because this coming Saturday I'm going to get to meet them when they play at the Studio 66 mod night at the LoFi Performance Gallery here in Seattle, and lucky me I'm going to be the guest DJ. Another thing that is making this week's show especially good is that I'm joined by my old friend Dean Hoth who is the singer and bass player for power pop band The Eddies. Additionally Dean has been a behind the scenes mover and shaker in producing some great tribute albums, and is also working on releasing unheard live materials of older mod bands from the 80s to the 90s to the 21st century. He's got some news for mod music lovers. Get on over to the modcast homepage for more info and links from Dean and a complete track list for the show.
