This weekend, the New York Red Bulls [not pictured above] (aka Red Bull New York) will be participating in the MLS Cup championship game for the first time. I am a season ticket holder for RBNY and am a proud supporter fo the club for the past 13 years. Here’s a great human interest story about a friend-of-a-friend who happens to be one of the key players in this Sunday’s match [NJ.com]

One of the nicest chickies in music bloggery wrote up what I will term “the only Twilight post linked by Radio Exile ever,” in which she shows you all the rad links to HER “much better” soundtrack for the movie and fawns over the vampire guys with her friend [I Rock I Roll]

I wish I was able to see M83 the other night, but I have too much writing to do (NaNoWriMo FTW~!), but others have up rad reviews [Bumpershine]

If you’re looking for a show and don’t mind a trip out to Staten Island tonight, you have to take a minute and check out out Budos Band. If PTST likes them, and I alike them, you need to like them too [Pop Tarts Suck Toasted]

Our lame duck 43rd President is worried about his legacy. Eff him in his effer place, but love this site [Owl & Bear]

I missed this one earlier in the week, but just saw: David Fischoff did an amazing mash-up/remix of Radiohead’s “Reckoner” that had I heard of sooner, I would have been touting as the second coming itself. It’s amazing, but the link here also goes to a great Neutral Milk Hotel cover. [Pop Headwound]
