Come on Sister ,
You know we are happy when it rains
and otherwise for us there is no fun

We are going underground

and we need you around
so nobody can shoot us down.

Football as pop!

Velvet Underground, Smiths, Yo la Tengo, Stereolab, Pixies, Ride, My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Pavement, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, Go!Team, Caribou, Deerhunter, Best Coast, Animal Collective, Go-Betweens, Hidden Cameras, Field Mice, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Wild Nothing, Belle and Sebastian, Pulp, Fall, Flaming Lips ++ many nothern soul anthems.

Come and play and drink and dance, because if it’s not love then it’s the bomb that will bring us together … !
