(10 Days or a week an a half to tastefest)

And yes the stanely cup is home, But it now south of Adams Street

Well last night was the last game of the NHL and the hockey season in genarl after nearly a long off-season (remember the was no season in 2005 because of the lock-out) and with the hoped of the Captin stevie Y ending his carrie with the cup only to see it end with a first round KO by the Edmonton Oliers who went all the ways to the stanely Cup Final and almost coming back 3-1 but only to fall to a thechnally a detroit team, the Carliona Hurricanes who is own by Detroiter Peter Karmanos who also own Compurware who HQ is at Downtown Detroit in fornt of Campus Martius Park who game seven last night 3-1 Goals by Aaron Ward and Frantisek Kaberle put the canes up by two but it came close when oliers Fernando Pisani cut it by one and they could not get the tieing goal as Justin Williams put the empty net to end the hocey season and the cup is now at tobacco road for the 1st time for this franchise who began life as the Hartford Whailers.

So this mean the stanley cup is back in detroit but it head quarters is on woodward but it south of Adams Street.

The Big News story in Culture City that broke shortly before
12:30 PM in a breaking News post and been slowly update though out the Day the BBC TV Music Show "Top of the Pops will be no more as of July 30th the pull was pull on the one time popuarl show which been on the air in one from or anonher for 42 years, the show have nearly 19 millions viewers in the 70's but the show have been on a slow and stedy declenc they tried to revamp the show many times change the openen was switch days (From Thursday to Friday to Sunday) it was going low as three Millions viewers when it was downgrade from BBC 1 to BBC 2 and it lost

And anyone who know TV know if a long time show is hovering a millions and begin changll by almost 20 24/7 music channels in the UK you know it must be time to let it go.

At one Point the BBC was thinking of doing a US version of TOTP for the WB Network but things fell thur, so the WB (which will fold in Sept.)was stuck doing Pepsi Smash for two years and it was the lowest ever show in WB Histroy.

Also part of the decline that nobody care for the single Chart any more as it begin taking over by really bad music, Just like the US Alblum Chart which i call it the Brought and paid for 200.

World cup review

Day 12
Tuesday, June 20


all match review will be from the official FIFA World Cup Site at yahoo.com or at this address fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/ for more Info

GROUP A
Ecuador (WW= 6 pts.) v Germany (WW= 6 pts.)

Germany sealed top spot in Group A in impressive style, with a Miroslav Klose brace and Lukas Podolski's first goal of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ sealing an emphatic 3-0 win over Ecuador.

Both these sides had already qualified for the Round of 16 prior to this match, but it is Jurgen Klinsmann's side who will march on to the next phase in more confident mood after a performance that simply oozed self-assurance.

The sell-out crowd of 72,000 at Berlin's Olympiastadion were certainly treated to a terrific showing from their side, for whom Klose - now tournament top scorer - was particularly impressive up front.

Ecuador, meanwhile, opted to rest a number of the players who had helped secure victories over Poland and Costa Rica in the South Americans' previous two matches, and did not look as potent without the likes of key striker Agustin Delgado.

Germany will now face the second-placed side from Group B in Munich on 24 June, while Ecuador will go head-to-head against the winner of that section in Stuttgart the following day.

Germany could have won by even more goals here and will advance to the Round of 16 with the confidence gained from three wins in Group A. Ecuador, despite a difficult day in Berlin, can look forward to their first-ever knockout game having won their first two matches.

GROUP A
Costa Rica (LL= 0 pt.) v Poland (LL= 0 pt.)

Poland rescued some pride with a 2-1 victory over Costa Rica as both sides said goodbye to the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Hannover on Tuesday, 20 June 2006.

With both sides already eliminated after two defeats, they went into this Group A match aiming to end on a high at least, and it was Costa Rica who started the better as they took a 25th-minute lead through Ronald Gomez's free-kick. However, Batosz Bosacki drew the Poles level eight minutes later and same player headed the winning goal in the 66th minute.

Poland's victory means they finish third in Group A with one win and two defeats - the same record as four years ago in Korea/Japan. With three defeats, bottom-placed Costa Rica are left to dwell on their poorest return in three FIFA World Cups.

Poland wanted so much more from this FIFA World Cup, but at least they ended with a win. For the Costa Ricans it brings a disappointing finale to a campaign that began with a creditable display in the Opening Match against Germany.

GROUP B
Sweden (DW= 4 pts.) v England (WW= 6 pts.)

England and Sweden drew 2-2 in Cologne on Tuesday, 20 June 2006 - a result that sends both teams through to the Round of 16 from Group B.

England's prize for topping the section is to play Ecuador in Stuttgart on 25 June, while Sweden must take on hosts Germany in Munich 24 hours earlier. Sven-Goran Eriksson's team had already secured qualification before this match and they were only denied a third successive win by a 90th-minute Henrik Larsson goal.

England had gone in front on 34 minutes through a spectacular strike from Joe Cole. Marcus Allback headed the Swedes level at 1-1 six minutes into the second half but substitute Steven Gerrard restored England's advantage when he headed in their second on 81 minutes.

England have still not beaten Sweden since 1968 but, as group winners, they will be happier to be facing Ecuador and not Germany in the Round of 16. Sweden's performance in the second half here, however, should give them confidence ahead of their meeting with the hosts.


GROUP B
Paraguay (DL= 1 pt.) v Trinidad & Tobago (LL=0 pt.)

Paraguay’s disappointing FIFA World Cup™ campaign finished on a high note as they beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 in Kaiserslautern's Fritz-Walter-Stadion on Tuesday, 20 June 2006.

The Soca Warriors, meanwhile, depart Germany without a win or goal to their name, and yet the pride of Leo Beenhakker’s team remains firmly intact, with this gallant defeat typical of their energetic, courageous performances throughout their debut tournament.

Much of this match was, in fact, dominated by a T&T side who fell behind to the most unfortunate of opening goals, headed past his own, helpless goalkeeper by Brent Sancho in the 25th minute.

The second half provided entertaining and competitive fare, and saw Paraguay weather a sustained Soca storm before securing their only points of the tournament with a coolly-taken 86th-minute strike from Nelson Cuevas.

Paraguay collected their first win of Germany 2006 in their final match, leaving them in third place in the Group B table behind England and Sweden. Trinidad and Tobago, meanwhile, can feel a little frustrated not to have gained a share of the spoils, especially for their attacking second-half performance.

Group A
F16 - Germany 9 pts. (+6 GD)
F16 - Ecuador 6 pts. (+2 GD)
OUT - Poland 3 pts. (-2 GD)
OUT - Costa Rica zero pts. (-6 GD)

Group B
F16 - England 7 pts. (+3 GD)
F16 - Sweden 5 pts. (+1 GD)
OUT - Paraguay 3 pts. (even GD)
OUT - Trinidad & Tobago 1 pt. (-4 GD)

(11 Days to TasteFest)

This just in the Tigers have hit a Homer at Wrigley

Well it been a pretty good weekend in detroit Culture city after fall in sick during the Karma Kickback show at the stick on thursday night, i came back on three night in a row for live and local, gig Two at the belmont and one at the painted lady on the other side of town.

Friday night, I saw the return of pas/cal(
pascalgoespop.com or www.myspace.com/pascalgoespop) at the Belmont feathering the lovely voical of the one and only Betty Marie Barnes which sound it good for a band who i not seen in a long time, the show opender with The Oscillating Fan Club(oscillatingfanclub.com) who sounded good.

But the Best Band of the night on the bill was a great indie five peice band from Washington D.C. called the Washington Social Club (
washingtonsocialclub.com or www.myspace.com/washingtonsocialclub) a very good indie band that some great indie rock and the members move around stage a lot and jump around a lot so that was very good.

On Saturday Night after a brief stop-over at the planet ant to hand out awards for the planet ant film festival and a brief listen to a CFL Game on the internet between Edmonton and Calgray, i went to the panited Lady because it was a good friend B-day party and i came to see two bands i know, first a band call (and no this is there real band name) JewsKillingArabsKillingJews (
www.myspace.com/jewskillingarabskillingjews) a band with house mate friend of mine from down the road it have some great music with the sufe guitar, But if i have one advice for them and i told them before, Please Change the Name JewsKillingArabsKillingJews in not a good band name in these times, I like the Music but the name have to go.

And the second band of the night at the lady was the band Anadonia(
anadoniamusic.com or www.myspace.com/anadonia) who look and sound so nice eather that or i can stop looking at there Violin player Tara who look very pretty like right out of a picture book, But they sound good and look good because it also have Treilynn in the band, She also play in Troy Gregory And The Stepsisters (stepsistersassemble.com or www.myspace.com/troygregoryandthestepsisters).

And last night it was back at the belmont for a good show it was bill as the welcome back from serbia show as the sirers (

And i hoped i get in touch with the drummer of bedford Drive about his day at the 89X show and i hoped i put it on this blog sight and hopful Tomorrow and if not hopfuly untill the end of the week.

And I been told once aging That the Tigers have hit a homer agian out of wrigley!

Since it so slow news day around the Detroit area today it think should go into you guess it the best indie news outside the 313. Early

According to a Billboard.com interview with Air member JB Dunckel, the French duo is almost done with its upcoming studio album, which is slated for an early 2007 release on Astralwerks, so in the mean time Dunckel will put out his own solo work September 19 also from astralwerks and it will gounder the name Darkel.

Now he told Billboard.com that the name was inspired by the black keys on a piano: "Most of the tracks contain some piano, and the chords are on the black keys most of the time, because I like the sound of that. Also, it was made very late at night. You have this attraction for the blackness, the space."

For Darkel, Dunckel recruited a few friends to cover bass and "a little bit of guitar." The artist handles vocals for eight out of the album's ten tracks. Its other two songs are "sort of" instrumentals, Dunckel told Billboard.com: "Most of the instruments are acoustic, but I like to treat and process them."

The tracklist includes "TV Destroy," a number about "destroying your TV when it's getting on your nerves," "My Own Sun," which focuses on Dunckel's belief that "inside your heart you have your own sun shining," (puke!) and more. The full tracklisting is as follows:

01 Be My Friend
02 At the End of the Sky
03 TV Destroy
04 Some Men
05 My Own Sun
06 Pearl
07 Earth
08 Beautiful Woman
09 How Brave You Are
10 Bathroom Spirit

as for the new Air CD in 2007 he told billboard.com "It's another direction, for sure. It's different, but it's Air. We like to change all the time. If we don't change our sound, we'll be dead. People who like our music like to discover new things. They're curious. They have some cultural musical background also, so they want to be surprised."

The record features several guest musicians, none of which have been announced at this point in time.

Air last CD was the well-recived 2004's Talkie Walkie.

there will be a DVD on the late Joe Strummer of the Clash, The 2004 documentary Let's Rock Again! will be out on june 27 it Chronicles the last 18 months of Strummer life which include touring of what turn out to be his last alblum Globe a go-go in 2001, but this DVD will have no extra what so ever as it shine a light of one of the ture legond of rock ever.

Chick here to see the trailer.

From the CmJ.COm

I wasn't supposed to tell you, but, oh well, one person won't hurt. The Gossip are set to release an EP, GSSP RMX, August 22 as the second single from their Kill Rock Stars January LP, Standing In The Way Of Control. The EP will hold the original version of the single, "Listen Up," as well as three separate remixes of the song by Arthur Baker, known for his work with Afrika Bambaataa and New Order, and DJs MSTRKRFT and A Touch Of Class. In addition to these juicy reworkings, the EP will feature Le Tigre’s remix of "Standing In The Way Of Control" and a sultry cover of Aaliyah’s redoubtable "Are U That Somebody?" which is currently available on the band’s MySpace page. In other news, the band is currently touring around Europe.

Tracklist For GSSP RMX:
01. Listen Up
02. Listen Up (MSTRKRFT Remix)
03. Listen Up (Arthur Baker's RTNY Mix)
04. Listen Up - (ATOC Mix)
05. Standing In The Way Of Control (Le Tigre Remix)
06. Are U That Somebody?

Pixies frontman Frank Black will headline a solo tour and open for Foo Fighters on a handful of dates to support his new album, Fast Man Raider Man. This is the first solo tour that Black has undertaken since 1995. He is currently in Europe playing the festival circuit with the Pixies. In a press release, Black admitted to being excited: "I like doing solo shows, it's a very intense and personal experience, very different from playing with a band," he said. "I like the idea that I don't have to 'follow the beat,' that I can pull the songs a part a little bit, change the set right there on stage if I want. And playing theatres is the best kind of venue to see a concert - everyone's sitting down, relaxed, and ready to be entertained." The tour will be quite the summer vacation for his family, as they will be joining him for its entirety. Black said, "The kids are too young for me to put them to work as roadies." As previously reported, Fast Man Raider Man was produced by Jon Tiven and was recorded over a two-year period.

Switzerland surged to top of Group G with a convincing 2-0 win over Togo in Dortmund on Monday, 19 June which leaves the Helvetians leading the section on goal difference.

Victory was secured by goals from Alexander Frei and Tranquillo Barnetta in the 16th and 88th minute respectively, the second of which took Kobi Kuhn's side clear of Korea Republic by a single goal. All the Swiss now need is a point against Dick Advocaat's Taeguk Warriors to guarantee their place in the last 16.

Togo, though impressive in flashes, could have few complaints at surrendering all three points, and Otto Pfister's side remain without a point and anchored to the bottom of a group in which Switzerland and Korea both lead on four points from France, who have two.

Switzerland moved to the top of Group G with this 2-0 victory. Their four-point haul from their opening two games was equal to that of Korea Republic, but Kuhn’s men moved ahead of the Asian nation on goal difference. The result also ensured that Togo cannot qualify for the Round of 16.

GROUP H
Saudi Arabia (D= 1 pt) vs Ukraine (L= zero pts.)


Ukraine made amends for their disappointing start to Group H when they defeated Saudi Arabia 4-0 in Hamburg on Monday, 19 June 2006.

Oleg Blokhin’s side, who had suffered defeat by the same scoreline to Spain in their opening match, look desperate to make amends in this match and began in the best possible manner.

Andriy Rusol fired Ukraine ahead in the fourth minute, while a Serhiy Rebrov wonder strike double their advantage on 36. Andriy Shevchenko headed a third just seconds after the restart, while Budweiser Man of the Match Maksym Kalinichenko got the goal his performance deserved six minutes from time.

Ukraine are up and running after this comfortable victory in Hamburg which should serve to restore confidence in the camp after the opening loss to Spain. For Saudi Arabia, the outlook appears bleak, however, with Spain still to come.


GROUP H
Spain (W= 3pts.) vs Tunisia (D= 1 pt.)

A second-half turnaround saw Spain come from behind to register a 3-1 over Tunisia in Stuttgart and consequently book their place in the Round of 16.

The African team got off to a great start when Jaouhar Mnari opened the scoring in the eighth minute. Roger Lemerre’s side held the lead until half-time when his counterpart Luis Aragones made a bold double substitution.

Luis Garcia and Marcos Senna were replaced by Raul and Cesc Fabregas and the pair were extremely influential in Spain’s equalising goal. With 71 minutes gone, Fabregas’ shot was parried by Ali Boumnijel and into the path of Raul who gratefully slotted the ball home.

A brace from Fernando Torres, taking his tally in the tournament to three, gave Spain the victory. It leaves them on top of Group H, three points clear of their nearest challengers Ukraine and five points clear of Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.

A perfect six points, Spain qualify for the second round with another classy display of attacking football. Tunisia, ahead for much of the match, will now need to defeat Ukraine to stand a chance of making the knockout stage.

World Cup Review

Day 10
Sunday, June 18


From Now untill the end of group play, all match review will be from the official FIFA World Cup Site at yahoo.com or at this address fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/ for more Info

Group F
Japan (L= zero pts.)vs Croatia (L= zero pts)

It was a story of frustration for Japan and Croatia as they played out a goalless draw in Nuremberg on Sunday, 18 June 2006.

The pivotal moment of the match came in the 22nd minute when Japan goalkeeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi saved Darijo Srna's penalty, although Croatia were also breathing a sigh of relief when Atsushi Yanagisawa missed when it seemed easier to score early in the second half.

The result left Japan rooted to the foot of Group F with one point and Croatia ahead only on goal difference in third place. It will hardly help the mood in either camp that both teams will be without key players for their third matches after Japan captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto and Croatia's Robert Kovac collected their second yellow cards of the tournament.

This stalemate does neither side any favours but will be welcomed warmly in the Brazil and Australia camps.


Group F
Brazil(W= 3 pts.)vs Australia (W= 3 Pts.)


Brazil booked their place in the Round of 16 after overcoming a tough challenge from Australia with a 2-0 win in Munich on Sunday, 18 June 2006.

The FIFA World Cup™ holders took the lead four minutes into the second half through Adriano but they had to survive one or two nervy moments before substitute Fred sealed the victory with a tap-in in the 90th minute. Brazil's second Group F win secured their advance to the second round with a game to spare, while Australia are well poised to join them, holding a two-point advantage of Japan and their next opponents Croatia.

While not altogether convincing, a second victory for Brazil ensures their progress to the second round. An impressive Australia will rue the missed chances but, provided Japan fail to beat Brazil, a draw against Croatia in their final match will take them through.

Group G
France (D= 1 pt.)vs South Korea (W= 3 Pts.)


Korea Republic fought back to earn a 1-1 draw with France as Park Ji-Sung cancelled out Thierry Henry's first-half opener in Leipzig on Sunday, 18 June 2006.

The point salvaged here put the Koreans top of Group G, at least until the end of Monday's match between Togo and Switzerland in Dortmund. The evening began promisingly for Les Bleus when Thierry Henry scored their first FIFA World Cup™ goal since the 1998 Final with nine minutes on the clock.

However, Korea Republic drew level when Park bundled the ball over the line in the 81st minute. To compound France's disappointment, Eric Abidal and Zinedine Zidane both collected bookings which rule them out of their final group game against Togo.

Both sides went close to sealing victory in the dying minutes but in the end they had to be content with a share of the spoils. The Koreans will surely be the happier of the two as the French still hunt their first FIFA World Cup win since the Final of France 98. As Group G stands now, Korea Republic lead the pack with four points with France second with two points. Switzerland and Togo have one and no points respectively ahead of their second game.
