You can find all my music recommendations in this enormous (and great!) Spotify playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/7xโฆ
And follow me on Instagram for the latest music recs, because I'm going to move away from Twitter and this 7-year-old thread: instagram.com/gabrieljr
29 Mar 2017
I'm going to start a music recommendation thread so I can start organizing all the songs I love and want you to love.

Fun part of this World Cup is learning about all these specific ethnic enclaves in the US, every game has some cut thatโs like โand hereโs the famed Curaรงaoan community in Wilmington, Delawareโ and itโs some random bar with like 450,000 people

As someone who lives in Kansas City, one thing I have to say about Disclosure Day (which I really liked) is that despite most of the movie being set in Kansas City, it's very obvious that NONE of it was actually filmed here and it almost took me out of the movie

Spent the day at Kansas City's FIFA Fan Festival on its very first day โ and it was a real microcosm of KC summers. Dangerously hot and humid, then a sudden downpour, and then back to blue skies.

Kansas City is already making World Cup fans sweat it out with our signature swampy summer heat.
Sorry to international visitors: It's only going to get worse from here. My latest Soccer City newsletter: kcur.org/sports/2026-06-10/wโฆ

$4 for a bottle of water at Kansas City's World Cup festival. $19 for a beer.
You can bring your own (plastic, empty) water bottle into the fest. Organizers told us there would be water stations around โ but only four locations for the 25,000 attendees.

Checking out the KC Fan Fest at WWI Memorial.
Awesome set up.
Beer prices though, yikes

NPR has a lot more it needs to do in order to build a true national network and collaborate better with its member stationsย โ it's still mostly stuck in a broadcast past.
But the crisis remains: Congress cutting federal funding HAS succeeded in hurting journalism in the U.S.

Resale tickets to Kansas City's Algeria vs. Austria match have dropped way below FIFA's initial eye-poppingly-high prices.
Resale prices are dipping for nearly every World Cup match.
A Cat 1 ticket to the U.S. opener is listed for $1300, less than half FIFA's price.
Most games still ๐ฐ, but for some, the trend complicates FIFA's efforts to sell remaining tickets.
