Rancid(sorta) x Real Salt Lake

As if Real Salt Lake's videos over the past few seasons haven't blown the Revs out of the water (and many other teams quite honestly)... Here is the newest with a song written and lead by Rancid drummer Branden Steineckert... oh and the video... completely funded and produced by fans... This should be taken as a challenge...

Revolution Sign Saer Sene From Bayern Munich II

The New England Revolution have announced the signing of 25 year old French striker Saer Sene from the Bayern Munich reserves.  Sene is a product of the Paris Saint-Germain youth system.  Sene has been playing in the German lower division for sides such as SC Schorndorf and SG Sonnenhof Großaspach since 2007.  He's been with Bayern Munich II since 2009 where he's made 55 appearances and score 19 goals as well as having been called up for early round UEFA Champions League matches.

The Music Files-Cock Sparrer

This is probably the most excited we've been to do a music post since we started... today we present Cock Sparrer.  If you've never heard of them you're probably laughing at the name. Stop.

Cock Sparrer formed in 1972 in London and is one of the most influential bands in the punk movement.  Bands like the Dropkick Murphys probably wouldn't exist if it were not for this band, they laid the groundwork for that working class style of punk.

Ok so why are we so excited?  Because Cock Sparrer, who rarely play the US will be playing at Club Lido in Revere on May 19th.  This will likely be the biggest punk show in the Boston area this year and quite honestly beyond.  People are still talking about the last time they were here which I believe was close to 10 years ago at this point.  Do yourself a favor, buy a ticket, buy your friend a ticket, do not miss this one.  Tickets go on sale today through Ticketmaster. This will sell out.

Moreno Apparently Not The One... Already...

This picture totally works for this post too...

News coming out of Colombia today is saying that Jose Moreno, despite be announced as the New England Revolution's "new #9" last week will not be joining the Revs. In an article posted on the Colombian league's website Jose Moreno states that he was in discussions with the team but decided he wanted to stay with Once Caldas  despite a better financial situation in MLS.

Someone(s) screwed up big time somewhere.

Is Moreno The One?

You know... the big signing we've all been waiting for... the impact player, the Twellman replacement...

Probably not.

Why? Part 1

I used to get quite fired up about every little thing Revolution related, good or bad I was all about it. I may have liked it, more often than not I didn't. Prior to TDIF starting I wrote quite a rant a couple of years ago that was on various revs related social sites. I had a passion for talking about this team, criticizing, and praising when it was due.

I couldn't wait for the next match, the start of the season. While I am excited for those things this season it is not nearly as much as it has been in previous years. I have to ask myself why...

The Music Files-How the Godfather of Soul, A White Irish Politician and a PBS Station Saved Boston

The Boston Globe tonight is reporting that former Boston Mayor Kevin White has passed away. We don't normally talk politics or about anything that doesn't have anything to do with music or soccer here but bear with us the connection to one of those is coming.  Growing up in this city I've always had an admiration for the former Mayor after hearing stories from my father and his friends who worked for him and knew him well.  The one that has always stuck with me however is what happened the night after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
