EPL Talk: Stamford Bridge is Falling Down

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:59:55 -0500

So how was your holiday season? I’m betting it has been better than Andre Villas-Boas’s December despite Chelsea’s late win against Wolves on Monday.

Since the holidays have begun, a constant stream of events conspired to turn Chelsea from a team moving along in transition/future 3rd place finisher to a team that has (if you believe the rumors) a divided locker room, constant middling draws, uninspired play, an upset loss to Aston Villa, rampant booing, a manager who’s either staying put or getting fired soon and no realistic guarantee that the club will even place 4th in the table at the end of the year. The “transition while winning” plan is gone and since these things aren’t supposed to happen to big, gigantic clubs things are going to change and it’s probably going to get very real and scary. So what should happen now that Chelsea is under siege? It comes down to two very large factors, and how the club goes about handling these factors.

IYS Review: KRADDY

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:29:07 -0500

Kraddy (a.k.a. Matthew Kratz) is a New York born, Venice Beach residing former member of the Glitch Mob that has decided to combine electronica (or whatever buzzword label you’re using these days) and classic rock anthems to re-define the genre and music as a whole. I assume.

Really though, Anthems is pretty boring. It’s Jock Jams for a group of people who think they are above listening to a collection called Jock Jams. For this album Kraddy got himself a live drummer and guitarist, recorded them (along with the synths) and jammed all of this into Pro-Tools, which then created…. this.

EPL Talk: The Frank Lampard Conundrum

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:22:36 -0500

Chelsea is in the middle of a forced – yet eventually necessary – transitional period. And during this weird season, the most reliable player so far is the guy who is on the opposite side of change.

Frank Lampard keeps scoring when it matters but apparently that trait doesn’t matter to Andre Villas-Boas. Lampard scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute against the Premier League’s newest super power Manchester City on Monday, putting in motion storylines about the league being wide open (no, it’s not) and how Lampard justifies his spot as a starter (yes, he does).

But Lampard still isn’t starting and according to him there isn’t a reason. “I want to play, simple as that,” said Lampard after Monday’s win. “I’m 33 – I understand that – but I want to keep playing regularly because I’ve got a lot to give. I’m as fit as I’ve ever been. I’ve been in a good run of form and now I’ve not been playing. I haven’t spoken [to Villas-Boas] so I don’t know [why], simple as that.”

Is the John Terry Racism Claim Damaging to English Football?

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:27:00 -0500

Among the sudden troubling outbreak of Premiership players throwing alleged racial epithets (and spitting) around, the John Terry/Anton Ferdinand “F*****g Black C**t” incident stands at the forefront among the other incidents involving Luis Suarez/Patrice Evra and Antolin Alcaraz/Richard Stearman. Due to Terry’s standing as Chelsea captain and currently holding onto the cursed idol that is England captain, it is obvious that his is the most newsworthy scandal but a bigger question remains.

If Terry is guilty, does this hurt English football?

EPL Talk: Arsenal: The Making of a Modern Superclub

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 17:00:37 -0400

With a team that has as lush of a history as Arsenal, the idea of a lengthy tome about the club is near picture perfect. In Arsenal: The Making of a Modern Superclub, authors Kevin Whitcher and Alex Fynn have created an extremely detailed, heavily dramatic and well researched book about one of Europe’s most celebrated clubs.

The partnership between Fynn and Whitcher is a pure all-star team for the book. Whitcher is the editor of Arsenal fanzine “The Gooner” and Fynn is an advertising and football guru who has been acknowledged as one of the architects of both the Premier League and Champions League.

The edition that I received is a newer one with a preface that details the passing of owner Danny Fiszman and his sale of the 16.1% of the club to current majority owner Stan Kroenke. Along with the preface, the new edition also provides lots of information on the club’s youth policy, commercial developments and Emirates Stadium. In what is also an eerie bout of foreshadowing, the authors throw in an open ended question about how the club would change under Kroenke’s majority ownership.

IYS Review: The Bandana Splits

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 23:03:05 -0400

The Bandana Splits are retro girl group music done by singers Lauren Balthrop, Annie Nero and Dawn Landes. By retro, I mean RETRO. Like “Phil Spector waving around a loaded gun in a studio while the Ronettes sing the same hook over and over and over”.

Dressed in the matching outfits that all the old girl groups wore, the Bandana Splits sing songs like “Sometimes” which is 2:32 minutes of one hook. Is that a good thing? It’s probably something that is good right now but doesn’t have a lasting appeal. It’s not that the group doesn’t write great songs; “Lavez Vous” is a definite side step from the girl group sound by using acoustic guitar and odd, well done lyrics. The problem is two fold:
