:{JOHN ARNE RIISE}: Pumpkin Power Has Left The Building
I can barely type through the tears. Black armbands all round for my little squashed cucurbita. And, I still want to know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, how he scored that goal.
[‘Thanks For The Memories, John’ from LiverpoolFC.tv]
[‘AS Roma Sign Riise From Liverpool’ from BBC Sport]

Italian Serie A club AS Roma have signed Norway defender John Arne Riise from Liverpool for £4m. According to Roma’s website, the 27-year-old has signed a four-year deal after Liverpool had given them permission to discuss personal terms. Left-back Riise signed for Liverpool in 2001 and helped them to the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League titles. Roma, who will play in the Champions League next season, have been targeting Riise for some time.

Riise, who notched up more than 300 appearances for Liverpool after moving to Anfield from Monaco seven years ago, played second fiddle to Fabio Aurelio for much of last season after the Brazilian established himself as the club’s first choice left-back. When Aurelio came off injured during last season’s Champions semi-final first leg against Chelsea, Riise replaced him only to score an own goal in stoppage time.

Last year, Riise was involved in an infamous spat with former team-mate Craig Bellamy after a karaoke night on a team bonding trip to Portugal. Bellamy was fined £80,000 by the club for his involvement and stated he had “lost control”.

Highlights of last week included my flatmate, Miguel le Singe, dropping in to murder a pint after a 14 hour shift; a remarkable backhanded compliment from a girl who was trying to excuse herself and ended up saying, “I’ve got really terrible taste in music, but I really like what you’ve been playing tonight”; a pleasant contrast to the heathen harridan who turned round during KRAAK & SMAAK to inform me, “this is sh!t”; meeting a bloke called Steve who’s a comedian touring with Steve Coogan; two girls, right at the back, waltzing incongruously to YOUNG KNIVES; being rewarded with cider by the boss for playing MARCUS NIKOLAI; a very considered bloke politely requesting PINK FLOYD and feeling a bit sheepish that I couldn’t oblige; and, after a generally quiet night for The Eagle, still finishing the evening with a random bunch of people who didn’t know each other, dancing until 1am.

I imagine it’s scientifically impossible not to think of The Beach Boys when listening to the vocals in ‘Maybe Lately’ from Montréal’s Graham Van Pelt. But, there are clearly far worse places for your head to wander, so succumb to the addictive bassline and let yourself luxuriate in this blissful tune.

:{TENORI-ON}:
Media artist Toshio Iwai and and Yu Nishibori of the Music and Human Interface Group, Yamaha Center for Advanced Sound Technology, have collaborated to design a new digital musical instrument for the 21st century, TENORI-ON. A 16×16 matrix of LED switches allows everyone to play music intuitively, creating a “visible music” interface. It consists of a hand-held screen with a grid of LED switches, any of which can be activated in a number of ways to create an evolving musical soundscape. The LED switches are held within a magnesium frame, which has two built-in speakers located on the top of frame, as well as a dial and buttons that control the type of sound and beats per minute produced. For DJs & producers it is a unique performance tool enabling them to perform using MIDI and load the TENORI-ON with samples to ‘jam / improvise’ within their set BPMs.
