For my July mixtape, i've decided to take myself on an impromptu trip around mainland Europe. With the help of Google Maps, i've plotted a course that's somewhat circuitous but which manages to take in most of the continent. Starting in Holland (I Was A Teenage Satan Worshipper, Ryoji Ikeda), we move down through Belgium (Autechre) and France (Andrew Liles) to the coast of Portugal (John Oswald). Coming back through Spain (Fergus Kelly, SPC ECO) and detouring into France again (Karsten Pflum, Zbigniew Karkowski) brings us to Monaco (John Debney), followed by a more prolongued period in Italy (Susanne Sundfør, Yelle, John Williams). Then we head north through Switzerland (Johnny Williams) for a longer stay in Germany (The Noisettes, Cluster, Bath40, Marc Behrens), before heading south again, through the Czech Republic (White Sea), glancing off Italy one final time (Muséum) and then down to the southern reaches of Croatia (FURT plus) and Bosnia and Herzgovina (Francis Dhomont), ending up for a bit of R&R in Greece (Three Drives).
The journey through eastern and northern Europe initially takes us through Bulgaria (Brian Eno), Romania (The Noisettes) and Hungary (Alexandre Desplat), then we veer across to Austria (James Newton Howard) before heading north rapidly through Poland (Kate Havnevik, Joy Division) as far as Latvia (Markus Reuter). A brief jaunt in Russia follows (Cabaret Voltaire, Bersarin Quartett), whereupon we head for the Nordic countries via Estonia (Velvcsze), passing through Finland (Brothomstates) before travelling across the Baltic Sea (Somatic Responses) to Sweden (Lady & Bird), Denmark (Iain Armstrong, Scott Walker) and Norway (Isaiah Ceccarelli). The epilogue to the journey involves leaving the mainland, flying first to the Faroe Islands (Zinovia) and finally arriving in Iceland (J.Viewz).
At a mere two hours' duration, the mix is one hell of a whistle-stop tour; here's the tracklisting in full, together with links to obtain the music: Read more

In the Garden of Eden, God spoke directly to Adam, commanding him to refrain from eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:16-17). Centuries later, "the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision" while he dwelt in the land of Canaan (Genesis 15:1). The patriarch Jacob received a message from Jehovah via the "Angel of God," Who spoke to him in a dream (Genesis 31:11). The Lord spoke directly to Moses at the burning bush on Mount Horeb (Exodus 3-4). The angel Gabriel brought messages from God to Zacharias, who was dwelling in Jerusalem (Luke 1:11-21), and to Mary, the mother of Jesus, who lived in Nazareth (Luke 1:26-33). Even Saul, who was on his way to Damascus to imprison any Jewish Christians he might find, received a "heavenly vision" (Acts 26:19; cf. Acts 9). A list of God's appearances and messages to men seems almost endless. No Bible believer can dispute the fact that God has revealed messages to men countless times, either directly or through avenues other than written revelation.
The question often asked today is, "How do we hear God now?" Does He still communicate to people through dreams and visions like He did in biblical times? Should we expect Him to call upon us directly at any moment to do some great work, like Saul was called to do? Will God send an angel to me to disclose more revelation than what is given in the Bible? Or, similar to how Eli instructed Samuel, should I "go lie down" and wait on Jehovah to reveal some message to me (1 Samuel 3:9-10). In view of the fact that for millennia God communicated to people either directly or through avenues other than written revelation, why do some today claim that God communicates to man only via the Bible? Just how is it that we "hear God" today?
According to Hebrews 1:1-2, "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son" (Hebrews 1:1-2, emp. added). In another contrast between the prophets of old (namely, Moses and Elijah) and Jesus, God instructed Peter, James, and John, saying, "This [Jesus] is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" (Matthew 17:5, emp. added). Jesus informed His listeners on one occasion of the reason we must "listen" to Him: "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day" (John 12:48, emp. added). For one to be pleasing to God, he must learn and obey the words of Jesus.
But how do we "hear" Jesus? According to the New Testament, people come to know Jesus and His words by way of the of the apostles' teachings. Consider the following line of reasoning from the Scriptures.
But how do we receive the apostles' doctrine today? Since all of the apostles are dead, via what method do the apostles speak to us in the twenty-first century? Paul answered this question in Ephesians 3:1-5.
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles—if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets (emp. added).
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles—if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets (emp. added).
Today, a person can understand "the mystery of Christ" through the written revelation of men like the apostle Paul, who received the Truth "through the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:11-12).
Still, some ask: "Haven't other men who have lived through the centuries, even into the twenty-first century, been inspired by God to reveal His message?" Actually, the Bible indicates that all Truth necessary for salvation was revealed during the lifetime of the apostles. The night before Jesus' crucifixion, He promised His apostles that after His departure from them, the Spirit would come and guide them "into all truth" (John 16:13), teaching them "all things," and bringing to their remembrance "all things" that Jesus taught them (John 14:26). After His crucifixion and resurrection (but before He ascended into heaven), Jesus then commanded these same disciples to "make disciples of all the nations…teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20, emp. added). The "faith…was once for all delivered to the saints" in the first century (Jude 3), so that since that time Christians have had "all things that pertain to life and godliness" (2 Peter 1:3).
Hearing God's will in the twenty-first century is as easy as picking up the providentially preserved Bible and reading what Jesus' "apostles and prophets" recorded for our benefit. God's revelation thoroughly equips us for every good work (cf. 2 Timothy 3:17), so that no modern-day messages, dreams, or visions are needed. Nearly two thousand years ago, God revealed "all truth" to the apostles and prophets, who recorded it "by inspiration." This "truth" is the standard by which all people are to live. And anyone teaching a contrary message will suffer eternally (cf. Galatians 1:8-9).

Many thanks, ZvezdanD. This extension works almost perfectly! The only thing I notice is that there is that before a cued song plays, I hear a second or so of another song from the Now Playing list which kind of interrupts what i'd like to be seamless playback.. This is a minor quibble but just wondering if this 'bug' is unique to my setup?
Thanks again!

Eg. When a song finishes playing MM jumps to a song on my main playlist and a second after your script forces MM to jump to the queve playlists and so goes on for all the songs.

The Abbey of the Holy Name (West Milford, New Jersey)
St. Dunstan's had been moved to Woodstock, New York, in 1940 by Metropolitan William when he transferred the priory and his see from Waukegan, Illinois. In 1973, Schema-Abbot John (LoBue) was elected by the St. Dunstan community. Schema-Abbot John was assigned to find a new location for the abbey, which was moved later that year to West Milford, New Jersey. In 1978, the name of the abbey was changed to Abbey of the Holy Name and, on September 21, 1980, Schema-Abbot John was consecrated Bishop of the Northeast (USA) by First Hierarch Metropolitan Joseph and Archbishop Hilarion of Texas. Since then the abbey has housed the diocesan offices and the St. Gregory Orthodox Liturgical Press. Many ecclesiastical dignitaries have visited the abbey during its existence, including Archbishop Hilarion of Australia (ROCOR) and Bishop Germaine of Paris (ECOF). Schema-Bishop Theodore (Irtel) of Old Valaam lived the last 7 years of his life at the abbey and reposed there on November 21, 1997.
The abbey is within the Old Calendarist jurisdiction of the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of Western Europe and the Americas (AOMWEA) since 1997, which is more commonly known as the Holy Synod of Milan. Due to alleged manipulations of KGB interference they left the Moscow Patriarchate and came into communion with the Ukrainian Autonomous Orthodox Church in Exile under Archbishop Palladios, one of the founders of SCOBA. Under Palladios' leadership permission was granted to establish this Western Rite church on its own as the Synod of Orthodox Bishops of the Western Rite with parishes and monasteries in America, Great Britain and Yugoslavia. In 1972, after the repose of Abp. Palladios, these churches severed all relationship with the Ecumenical Patriarchate due to latter's allegedly extensive involvement in ecumenism. In 1997, the bishops of the Milan Synod, which had by then received a second Tomos of Autonomy in connection with the Church of Ukraine (Kiev Patriarchate) by Patriarch Voldymir of Kiev, received the bishops of the Western Rite Synod into the Milan Synod by a new granting of ordination. At the same time, Bishop John, who had served as locum tenens for First Hierarch after the repose of Metropolitan Joseph in 1990, was given the position of Archbishop of New York and New Jersey.
Western Rite work and Services
The monastery has been Western Rite for virtually the whole of its existence. Originally using the Tridentine liturgy with Overbeck's modifications (which combined forms the basis of the Liturgy of St Gregory,) the monastery began the pioneering work of translating the services of the Sarum Rite, a process that took over two decades. In 1993, the Medieval Monastic Psalter was published in a series of over thirty volumes, employing the traditional language used in the West for centuries in an Orthodox text. The texts contain all the parts needed to employ the full cycle of services and Divine Liturgy used in the pre-schism Sarum Rite, thus making the texts the first completely translated pre-schism Western liturgies in centuries.
The monastery continues to sponsor Western rite initiatives and missions in the Archdiocese through the provision of texts and translations provided on the basis of need, and also guides the Western Rite missions of the Milan Synod and assists with those who seek information about the ancient Western rite. The monastery itself still uses the Sarum rite for the daily cycle of services.
In 2008, the texts of the Medieval Monastic Psalter were approved for use in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.

Obama arrived at the Island off the Massachusetts coast after he delivered a brief and emotional eulogy at the funeral of Sen. Ted Kennedy in Boston Saturday morning.
The Obama family had been spending the week at the New England destination before Kennedy's death compelled them to interrupt the retreat. They will be back in Washington Sunday for a few days before heading to Camp David in Maryland for a few more days of vacation.

There are many spectacular beaches on Koh Rong Island. Here, we are going to evaluate Koh Rong's best beaches in 2020 and make a list of our top favourites. We'll try to cover both Koh Rong and its beautiful sister island Koh Rong Samloem, but choosing the best beaches on these island paradises is not easy! To sum up, the best beaches on Koh Rong are:
1) Lonely Beach (Koh Rong)
2) Lazy Beach (Koh Rong Samloem)
3) 4K Beach (Koh Rong)
4) Saracen Bay (Koh Rong Samloem)
5) White Beach (Koh Rong)
6) Sok San Beach (Koh Rong)
7) Palm Beach (Koh Rong)
(For a more in depth review, see: Koh Rong Beach Guide 2020)
1) Lonely Beach
Possibly the best beach on the islands is Lonely Beach to the northern side of Koh Rong. Although it is not in the most convenient location, it really is absolutely stunning.
The small alcove feels like a real island-paradise, with crystal clear ocean waters, soft white sandy beaches, and tall palm trees all around. The atmosphere is quite serene – so peaceful and quiet with just a few crickets chirping in the background. There are very few people around, so you feel quite isolated and secluded out in a truly beautiful setting.
The accommodation itself is very rustic and is not really suitable for anyone looking for some comfort during their trip. This is reflected in the price of $40 – $50 / night. It is also not ideal for anyone not willing / able to travel – Though Lonely Beach do offer a boat to that part of the island, it can take 2-3 hours to get there from Sihanoukville and the journey involves small boats that aren't steady on the waters.Book Lonely Beach at Best Price
2) Lazy Beach
Listed in the 'Top 21 Beaches in the World' by the National Geographic, Lazy Beach comes in at number two. The beautiful little alcove is quietly tucked away on the western side of Koh Rong Samloem.
The beach area around here really is wonderful – the sands are silky smooth, the blue waters glisten in the sun, and the enveloping mountains offer superb views.
Perhaps what hits you first, apart from the scorching sand on the way to the entrance, is the peaceful tranquil atmosphere that Lazy Beach creates – Quiet, laid-back, so relaxing, with a few crickets chirping in the background.
As with Lonely Beach, there is only one resort on this part of Koh Rong Samloem. The accommodation is very basic ($30+ / night), so Lazy Beach Resort is not suited for anyone looking for some comfort during their stay. And, similarly to Lonely Beach, Lazy Beach is not the most accessible place on the islands – Although they do offer a private taxi boat from Saracen Bay, many guests end up having to walk the 40 minute jungle trail to get there. The trail itself isn't that bad (maybe wear trainers or similar footwear), but with heavy bags it can become very burdensome. You can find the entrance to the trail next to Octopussy Bar at The Royal Retreat.
Please also make sure to bring everything you need with you, as there are no shops or facilities on this side of the island. There is also no Wi-Fi, so you may have to stare at the phenomenal sunsets instead of Facebook!
3) 4K Beach (Long Set Beach)
We would say that 4K beach is number three on the list, though there are now several resorts built along this wonderful stretch of white sand, sparkling turquoise ocean, and tropical jungle wilderness.
What's great about this beach, apart from the stunning scenery and inviting pristine waters, is that it's a short walk away from the main tourist area on Koh Rong (Koh Touch).
If you head past Paradise Bungalows and White Beach Bungalows on your left hand side, the next resort is Tree House. Keep walking following the beach area around, and you will pass a new resort called Star Fish. At times you will need to go off the actual beach itself into the forest, but the path is very easy to follow. After about 15 minutes you will walk out onto a large beach expanse (about 4km or so – hence the name '4K') with very little development.
One of the fantastic resorts near the end of this beach is Pura Vita ($65+ / night) – A truly scenic destination with sparkling turquoise ocean waters, white sandy beaches, and a tropical jungle forestry.
Book Pura Vita at Best Price
The other superb resort on Long Set Beach is the (appropriately named) Long Set Resort. Long Set Resort offers very comfortable accommodation at an affordable price. The soft white sandy beach is splendid, and some of the views are truly sensational. Relax by the pool or swim in the warm ocean during the day, then at night times admire the sparkling bioluminescent plankton.
Book Long Set at Best Price
Buva Sea and Speed Ferry Cambodia now go directly to Long Set Beach, so getting to this part of the island is straight forward. However, if you stay at any of the resorts here, please remember to bring all necessities with you as the nearest shops are on Koh Touch – A one hour walk away along the beach (if there is no ferry service at the time).
4) Saracen Bay
At number 4 is the beautiful Saracen Bay. Saracen Bay is the main tourist area on Koh Rong Samloem. It is perfect for a peaceful relaxing experience where you can lie back and admire the magnificent views. All the main ferry services stop here regularly making it one of the more convenient locations.
The bay has undergone some major changes in the past two years, with several new resorts, new shops, and new tours opening up along the beachfront. All in all, these changes have made Saracen Bay a more convenient tourist destination, as it is now possible to buy many necessities (e.g. mosquito spray and sun tan lotion) on the bay. Take a look at this video to see how beautiful it is:
There are roughly 20 resorts spread out along the beach front, each with a restaurant, a bar, and bungalows or villas. Of these, we would recommend the fantastic Sol Beach Resort and The One Resort.
Sol Beach has the better accommodation (the modern Khmer-style villas are outstanding), while The One has a stunning infinity-edge swimming pool, so it really depends on what you prefer. All in all, the two resorts provide excellent accommodation that's perfect for families and couples.
Book Sol Beach at Best Price
Book The One at Best Price
5) White Beach
At number 5 we are going to put White Beach – A 10 minute walk from the main pier on Koh Touch. Admittedly, there are probably better beaches on Koh Rong, but the convenience of White Beach and the quality of the resorts around this area push it up a place or two.
Despite what you might read elsewhere, this far side of Koh Touch is not a party location and does not suffer from the same setbacks that other more popular areas experience. The beach on this part of the touristy stretch is clean and well-kept, with soft white sands and beautiful clear ocean waters.
What we love the most is how easy it is to step out of your bungalow early in the morning and be directly on the sand with very few people around. Take a look at our reviews of White Beach Bungalows and Paradise Bungalows for more information.Book White Beach at Best Price
6) Sok San Beach
Located on the western side of Koh Rong, Sok San is home to both a small Khmer fishing village and to one of the biggest resorts on the islands.
The fishing village is a great place to stay for cheap – Not only do you have the chance to learn about the local Khmer culture, but you get to relax and unwind in a wonderful scenic setting.
The large resort is also a great option, offering a more luxurious accommodation on a long stretch of soft white sands. Initially built to host the cast and crew of the popular TV series 'Survivor', Sok San Beach Resort comprises of 600+ villas and has several shops, restaurants, and bars.
The resort offers a private (direct) ferry service from Sihanoukville, so as far as accessibility goes, it's easy enough to get to.
The beach area at the resort is kept in superb condition – Soft white sands, crystal clear ocean waters, and wonderful scenery.
The overall quality of the resort is excellent, and pricing starts at a reasonable $80 / night. Perhaps what's quite surprising is that, even at peak times, there is enough beach space to go around for everyone, but, admittedly, you don't feel as privileged as you do on say, Saracen Bay.Book Sok San at Best Price
7) Palm Beach
Last but not least is one of the best value for money resort on Koh Rong. Overlooking the famous Song Saa Private Island and around the corner from Lonely Beach, Palm Beach, as the name suggests, is a palm-covered paradise getaway.
Starting from only $35 per night, you can sit back and admire the views in a hammock between the trees. What baffles us the most is that this resort is rarely busy, despite offering a much cheaper alternative to similar standard resorts on Koh Touch. Perhaps the issue is that, like with Lonely Beach, the northern side of the island is much harder to get to, but the accommodation at Palm Beach is of a good quality and has the potential for a wonderful experience.Book Palm Beach at Best Price

There are four village communities on the island: Koh Touch (south-east), Prek Svay (north-east), Daem Thkov (Sangkat village) (east), and Sok San (west). Most locals live from fishing (70%) and small scale crop cultivation (30%). As of 2019, tourist businesses outnumber residential homes on Koh Touch.
The terrain is predominantly hilly, with a 316m mountain (1,037ft) in the north-west. Most of the island's interior is covered in jungle forestry, with several waterfalls, bays, capes, and sandstone rock formations adding to the wonderful scenery.
Exposed to the weather and open sea, the south side of Koh Rong is particularly beautiful, while the east side is characterized by smooth hills that gently slope towards the crescent-shaped beaches, inlets, and bays.
Koh Rong's neighbouring islands include Koh Tuich in the south-east, the twin islands of Koh Bong-Po'own (Koh Song-Saa) in the north-east, and Koh Koun and Koh Rong Samloem in the south. These five islands make up the Sangkat Koh Rong (or Commune 5 of Mittakpheap District).
It will take about 40 minutes to get to your destination if it's the first stop. If the boat first stops elsewhere, it may take 1 hour or so.
All 5 services will charge roughly $25 return, though prices can vary depending on time of year, special offers, etc. All services leave from the Ochheuteal (AKA 'Serendipity') pier in Sihanoukville and go to the main tourist beaches on the islands. If your hotel is not on the main beaches (Koh Touch / Saracen Bay), please read Sihanoukville to Koh Rong.
The 5 services offer modern speed boats with comfortable chairs, life jackets, and the option to buy food and drink on board. Not all of the ferries have air-conditioning, but once the boats set off there is a strong cool breeze throughout the sitting areas which more than makes up for it.
All ferry services tend to be very busy – we strongly recommend you buy your tickets in advance. You can buy your tickets online now here: Book Ferry Tickets Online Now

Koh Rong Samloem is Koh Rong's stunning sister island – a short 20 minute ferry trip away. It is a peaceful relaxing destination with breathtaking scenery – Pristine white beaches, clear turquoise ocean waters, and a tropical jungle wilderness.
As such, if you're staying on Koh Touch (the main tourist area on Koh Rong) or on Saracen Bay (the main tourist area on Koh Rong Samloem), the easiest way for you to see the plankton is by booking a boat tour (you can also walk to Police Beach on non-party nights (15 minutes left from the main pier) and Tree House Bungalows (15 minutes right from the main pier) on Koh Touch, or make your way to Long Set Beach around the corner from Koh Touch).
For more information, please read: Glowing Plankton on Koh Rong
The islands are known for their stunning underwater panorama. Whether it's snorkeling or scuba diving that you're after, there are plenty of superb locations.

For example, those that visit during the rainy season get to enjoy half-priced accommodation and beautiful rainy scenes, and because it never gets too cold in Cambodia, swimming in the ocean is still a very pleasurable experience (the water rarely drops beneath 25°C).

In 2012, a special edition of the French Survivor ('Koh Lanta') was filmed near Sok San Village with an All-Star cast. The production team returned in 2013 and again in 2016 to film the regular editions.
In 2015, the American version of Survivor produced Season 31 (Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chance) and season 32 (Survivor: Kaoh Rong – Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty) on Koh Rong Island.
The 16th edition of Expedition Robinson (Sweden's Survivor) was also filmed on the island.

I enjoyed England's 5-1 demolition of Croatia on Wednesday evening as much as the next man, particularly after Slaven Bilic's ill-advised pre-match boast that he had identified a weakness in the English team – perhaps an inability to score six, given that England have now put four and five goals past his hapless team in their last two matches? What I could have done without was Clive Tyldesley, ITV's "big match" commentator, eagerly scrambling aboard the World Cup bandwagon like a cheerleader on heat, implying that we only had to turn up in South Africa and the trophy was as good as ours.
It's true that football commentators tend to be annoying as a breed, much like radio DJs, but Tyldesley has a degree in exasperating viewers. ITV cannot help the fact that any night of football they broadcast is ruined by adverts, but they could surely do something about the shocking bias displayed by the commentators they employ. After you have endured another torrent of adverts (weren't the last lot only five minutes ago?) advising you of the latest DFS sale and the like, you probably think that it couldn't get any worse, only to hear the dreaded words, "Good evening and welcome from Clive Tyldesley".
Oh great, another evening spent in the company of the rabid Manchester United fan. Some say that Clive has struggled for years, without any discernible success, to hide his United proclivities; while other believe that he makes no attempt to conceal his bias. Either way even The Who's "deaf, dumb and blind kid" could not fail to notice his lack of partiality. In any match involving United, watch how he describes what their forwards are doing when United are attacking. Fair enough, but then look what happens when the opposition have the audacity to mount an attack: he explains what the United defenders are doing! It may be a trivial point, but it becomes grating after a while. When United misfit Diego Forlan demonstrated a total inability to find the back of the net, Clive stayed magnificently loyal to the misfiring forward, "Forlan has played in fifteen games now – and he's nearly scored in all of them". You have to ask why Manchester United bothered to launch their own television channel, MUTV, when Tyldesley was already doing such a marvellous job for the franchise.
"He needs to mention it. He always mentions it."
Of course, Tyldesley is well known for his inability to make it through 90 minutes without somehow managing to shoehorn in a reference to Manchester United's Champions League victory over Bayern Munich in 1999 or, as he prefers, "that balmy night in Barcelona". It was indeed an unforgettable night, but Clive is going to make damn sure that it will linger long in the memory, as he appears to be contractually bound to mention it every time he covers a European match. He's really got it down to a fine art, often trotting out three or four completely irrelevant sentences before managing to crowbar in the inevitable mention of "two minutes of brilliance". Other times, he's less subtle: "And it's an evening kick-off here, very much like it was that famous night at the Nou Camp".
There are many things that you could say about this incredible comeback, but my guess is that Tyldesley owns the copyright for most of them, which is probably fair, given that he appears to make his living out of droning on about that final, while theoretically commentating on other matches. If that weren't bad enough, Clive seems to be under the impression that his commentary was somehow responsible for United's injury time larceny, "What's this? Ninety minutes on the clock and Manchester United haven't scored. They have to score. They always score … Sheringhaaaaammmmm!" The downside of this belief is that he starts rubbing the same rabbit's foot every time United are up against it: "They need to score. United always score".
The thought that not everyone in the country wants United to win has never entered his head. ITV Sport have long perpetuated the ridiculous notion that United are in some way England's team. The underlying message behind Tyldesley's nauseating tone on European nights is that those sitting at home should wrap themselves in red and white before willing on "our brave boys", but what they have singularly failed to grasp is that the vast majority of the audience is actually desperate for United to lose. To be fair (note the switch into football-speak), Tyldesley is equally biased in favour of any English team playing against Johnny Foreigner, overlooking the possibility that some might just want to watch an entertaining game of football and not a re-enactment of ancient military battles.
Even when an English team is not involved, Clive will somehow link the match back to England or the Premier League. You might have mistakenly thought that the European Championship was intended to discover the best team in Europe, but for Clive it's all about the players' careers in England, otherwise he wouldn't change everyone's surname, e.g. Senderos of Arsenal, Tuncay of Middlesbrough, Cech of Chelsea, etc. In the worst example of his Anglophile tendencies, I swear that I once heard him refer to France as Arsenal.
"All you do to me is talk, talk"
He obviously saves his best efforts for United's foreign legion, which I suppose I can understand in the case of Ronaldo, who (through gritted teeth) is one of the best players in the world, but it is unforgivable when the same treatment is applied to United squad member, Nani: "United fans will be pleased to know that Nani is warming up. Are we about to see a United combination for Portugal? Will Portugal now benefit from the fact that they have two United players on the park? Ronaldo and Nani must have developed an understanding together at United."
Then there is Clive's determination to ensure that the entire British population is made aware that Italy's Simone Perrotta was born in Ashton-under-Lyne, which not only is "just ten miles from Old Trafford", but also has the "Brucie Bonus" of being the birthplace of Geoff Hurst. That would be the same Geoff Hurst who scored the three goals … I think you know the rest. Broadcasters seem to think that nobody in England could possibly be interested in a World Cup or European Championship without some English reference points jammed into the commentary. They should understand that those watching matches not involving England tend to be the informed part of the football public, so they should stop insulting our intelligence. I am happy enough to watch France against the Czech Republic without ITV turning it into Arsenal vs. Chelsea (Gallas vs. Cech, right?)
If possible, the xenophobia is turned up a notch during those "special European nights at Anfield". When Standard Liege tore into Liverpool during a Champions League match, Tyldesley's patronising of the Belgian champions was relentless. As they continued to create chances, even missing a penalty, he couldn't have sounded more astonished if Elvis had strolled on to the pitch to perform "Jailhouse Rock". Similarly, when Liverpool played Inter, he could not help gloating that Inter had just one Italian in their starting line-up ("Can you believe that?"), neglecting to mention that Liverpool had only one more Englishman in their team.
The Norman Tebbit impression really comes into its own when Clive is confronted by a team from Eastern Europe. In a match featuring Latvia it wasn't long before he started cracking gags about the Latvian surnames – absolutely hilarious those long foreign names, aren't they? When England played Kazakhstan, it took even less time before a Borat quote was wheeled out, as Clive brazenly admitted that he had never heard of the Kazakh players – ever heard of research? His one-eyed stance even makes Motson look neutral.
"One for Clive"
While he's always happy to belittle unknown players, he has a limitless capacity for sycophantic gushing towards the superstars of the game. Cristiano Ronaldo has always held a special place in Clive's heart, his role in Manchester United turning him into some sort of honorary Englishman, rather than the gap-toothed, greasy foreigner that he would normally despise. Whenever Ronaldo touched the ball, it was "Oooooh, what's he going to do now?" - before another miscued cross sailed into the crowd. When Manchester United met Chelsea, Clive fashioned a tortuous "Beauty and the Beast" analogy involving Predator look-alike Drogba and his heartthrob Ronaldo: "He's looking very pert and perky". For God's sake, get a room. These days, the winker might be feeling a touch jealous, as Clive has started to bestow his grovelling affections on Steven Gerrard. In fact, if he gets any further up the Liverpool captain's backside, the only thing he'll be able to see is Alan Hansen's feet.
Never mind, Clive can always return to his trusty Big Book of Clichés, so his greeting for the Champions League Final in Rome was, "We're a few kilometers away from the Colosseum, but there's something rather gladiatorial about this moment". It's as if his mouth has been hard-wired to the software that spews out tabloid headlines. Even the bookies picked up on this with Paddy Power taking bets ("Commentary Clichés") on which blindingly obvious rubbish Tyldesley would utter, e.g. how long before he mentions his signature phrase (I think you know which one). When he goes off-piste, the results have a distinct whiff of Alan Partridge at his most idiotic, such as his description of the Dutch, orange masses descending on Basel: "It must have looked like a piece of toast. Covered. In Marmalade." I kid you not.
Tyldesley has come a long way since the 1970 World Cup, when he got the half-time score of his first game wrong. He's been plugging away for ages, including four years at the BBC, where he was assigned a grand total of four live matches. Even though he is now firmly established as ITV's top commentator, he still has the air of a man scrambling to prove himself; hence his constant attempts to utter a memorable soundbite, his "They think it's all over" moment, rather than just telling it straight.
"A great commentator - and Clive Tyldesley"
Maybe that's why he makes so many needlessly melodramatic outbursts, constantly building up the dullest of games, asking histrionic, rhetorical questions like: "Oooh … look out …it couldn't be … could it?" Celtic recently needed to score at least three times against Arsenal at The Emirates to qualify for the Champions League, which was extremely unlikely, but that did not stop Tyldesley faking a coronary every time they crossed the halfway line. When John Terry managed to control a simple ball before hoofing it away against Barcelona, Tyldesley could not believe his eyes: "Wow, Terry. Immense". The premise is always the same: stick with us ("don't you dare go away") no matter how drab the game appears, as you might be rewarded with another comeback like "that magical night in Istanbul" (a.k.a. past ITV glories).
Tyldesley's commentating style could be described as an uncomfortable mixture of pomposity and hysteria. Oozing gravitas, he just loves spouting his opinions as if they are proven fact. On occasions, he seems to believe that he is addressing the entire nation, "Good evening, everybody, and on a night like this it really is just about everybody". Could we at least wait for the viewing figures? Nothing pleases Clive more than an opportunity to regale us with his encyclopaedic knowledge of the game, like the precise pronunciation of Juan Sebastian Veron. In fact, he's way too pleased with himself throughout the match. It sounds like he's rubbing his hands together with excitement about the great spectacle unfolding in front of him. Or masturbating. Or both.
And would it hurt Tyldesley to shut up now and then? He commentates as if he is still on radio and the audience is somehow deprived of the images that television usually provides as a matter of course. In full flow, he sounds like a man who has buttonholed a stranger on a bus, incessantly stating the obvious and firing off a barrage of widely known facts and meaningless statistics. When England played Andorra, Clive had duly looked up the country on Wikipedia and was thus well placed to relate its claim to the world's longest life expectancy. I used to believe that this loquaciousness was because ITV's commentators did not have access to much football, feeding off the scraps left by Sky, but it was much the same during the World Cup, when they were on pretty much every night. Somewhere in ITV Towers there must be a man with a warped sense of humour who once cruelly told Tyldesley that he was actually interesting.
"Give him the boot"
Lord knows why he loves the sound of his own voice so much, as it possesses an annoying, nasal quality that makes you wonder who first encouraged him to speak in public, let alone commentate. When he is excited (which is far too often), his voice goes off the scale, soaring to a shrillness probably only audible to dogs. Any big star is awarded special treatment, Tyldesley delivering the name in an ascending bark of surprised delight like a bulldog with laryngitis greeting his returning master at the same moment he steps into a bear-trap: "Rrrronal-DOHH!"
While Tyldesley is the first to dig out a referee for making an error, though sometimes only after he has had the benefit of slow-motion replays from several angles, he is not immune to the odd "Colemanballs" effort himself:
He is the man who has been brought on to replace Pavel Nedved - the irreplaceable Pavel Nedved.
He's not George Best, but then again, no-one is.
He went through a non-existent gap.
One or two of their players aren't getting any younger.
David O'Leary's poker face betraying his emotions.
Maybe we shouldn't be too harsh on Clive, as he now has to stay afloat without the benefit of the big, orange life jacket known as Ron Atkinson. Clive has been like Ernie without Eric, Little without Large, since Big Ron's unscheduled departure. Their special brand of "humour" was typified after a player took a kick in the crown jewels and rolled around clutching them in agony:
Clive: I'm not sure where exactly he was injured there, Ron.
Ron: Just inside his own half I think, Clive.
Boom, tish! Actually given the nature of Big Ron's fall from grace (a racist outburst against Marcel Desailly) that stripped the glamour from the double act, maybe a better comparison would be Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael (the undercover policeman's friend). After "Champers" exited stage left, Clive had to make do with David Pleat, not only one of the most boring men in football, but a well-known kerb crawler (cautioned not once, but three times).
"Big Ron: Some of my best friends are black."
So, there we have it: Clive Tyldesley, a crap wannabe comedian ("Clive and Exclusive!") who has never read the part of his job description that calls on him to display a small measure of impartiality from time to time. He tries far too hard to come across like your mate in the pub, when you just want him to tell you what's happening in the game, which is surely the commentator's role. Almost all football fans I know find him intensely irritating, as shown by this excellent on-line poll:
Should ITV sack Clive Tyldesley?
Yes - immediately.
Yes - and make him sit Stage 1 elocution exams.
Yes - and send him to the seventh level of hell wearing nothing but a Manchester United thong.
No - I am a moron who thinks Clive's commentary is accurate, dispassionate, and value adding.
Say no more – especially as Clive has said absolutely everything that needs to be said, then a little more.

Stacking the ShelvesStacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga's Reviews showcasing new books we've gotten a hold of (bought/given/gifted/trade/for review).
Hi all! I hope everyone had a magical holiday season :D I was unusually organized this year and got all my shopping and preparations done early, which is a nice change from my usual Holiday rush. Then I was able to relax and take in the festivities ♥ I'm still sort of recuperating from all the socializing and overindulging, so if you were wondering why the blog was a bit quiet lately...that would be why.
This Stacking the Shelves post is a bit of a pre-holiday edition - despite it going up post-holidays. I ordered myself a few goodies before the Holidays, since I'd been really good not buying ALL the books this year. Mostly I just ordered some hardback replacements for paperback/ARC editions I already had. When it comes to favorite books/series, I get especially obsessive about having matching sets. Some of these had been on my list for a looong time, so I figured it was time...I was just a bit lazy whipping up this post.
The Way of Kings (hardback) by Brandon Sanderson (The Stormlight Archive #1), Throne of Glass (hardback, autographed) by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #1), Scarlet by Marissa Meyer (The Lunar Chronicles #2)
I'd ordered The Way of Kings back when all I'd read from Sanderson was the first Mistborn book. Needless to say once, I read it, I promptly pre-ordered the sequel, Words of Radiance (in hardcover). As soon as I was all caught up, I added to matching hardcover TWoK to my wishlist. Guys, these books are STUNNING, with full colour maps, artwork and are gorgeously bound.
Now. I have a story for you: those of you who follow me on Twitter, or remember past StS posts, might be aware that I've been on the hunt for the hardback edition of Throne of Glass with the *NEW* cover to match the rest of the series since BEFORE the publisher announced they were releasing it. Yeah. I had an ARC which I tried to replace and ended up with a stupid, ugly library bind-up edition >.< I asked the publishers at BEA this year and made no progress that way either. BUT. I didn't give up! Once Bloomsbury announced that they were releasing the matching hardback edition, I thought my struggles were over. I ordered a copy from Amazon only for them to send me the old, original cover. I got in touch with them and was assured they had the right version in stock and that they would gladly replace mine. And then the replacement arrived and it was once AGAIN the old, original cover. Gah! O.O After contacting other book outlets, Canadian publishers, distributors, etc...Bloomsbury themselves came to the rescue and pointed me to Books of Wonder, a NYC indie bookshop. Books of Wonder promptly reached out and told me that they did indeed stock the new Throne of Glass hardback! Eep! And the best part? It was autographed by SJM herself!! Cut to me freaking out and obviously placing an order the very next day. Needless to say, when it arrived I was ECSTATIC. Life? Complete.
Finally, (and on a much simpler note), I replaced my ARC of Scarlet with a shiny new hardback to match Cinder and Cress!
Oh, and before I wrap up this particularly babbly and picturific StS post, I also got a few ARCs to share with you:

Shrews draw sting from Bees
Brentford's winning streak came to an end as they had to settle for a 0-0 draw at improving Shrewsbury.
The Bees had won five league games in a row but they drew a rare blank against Graham Turner's hard-working side.
Shrewsbury might even have pinched it but winger Jon Taylor's shot midway through the second half was headed off the line by defender Harlee Dean with goalkeeper Richard Lee beaten.
Marcelo Trotta, on loan from Fulham, twice failed to hit the target with presentable chances at either end of the first half, but in between Shrewsbury were the more dangerous side.
Darren Jones headed just over and Marvin Morgan's flick from a Matt Richards free kick drifted narrowly wide before right back Connor Goldson drove agonisingly off target from the edge of the penalty area.
Shrewsbury's work rate ensured Brentford never had any time on the ball to impose themselves.
The Bees were brighter after the restart and Trotta's deflected shot after a strong run was brilliantly kept out by consistent goalkeeper Chris Weale.
Adam Forshaw also fired just over in stoppage time for the Londoners but Shrewsbury, who have lost just once in their last eight games, deserved some reward.

Secrets haunt family, readers
"In Between Days," Andrew Porter's debut novel chronicling the fragmentation and (partial) reformation of a Houston family, begins with questions.
Why is Elson Harding, a prominent architect, drinking alone in a downtown hotel "because he knows that no one he knows will ever find him (there)"? What led to his acrimonious divorce from his wife of many years, Cadence? Why is his son Richard, a recent graduate of Rice University, wasting his time waiting tables? How is Richard, living at home, borrowing his mom's minivan, partying late into the night, coming to terms with coming out of the closet? And, most important, why was his daughter Chloe mysteriously expelled from her East Coast college?
Porter, a professor in the English department at Trinity University, writes with intuitiveness about the complexities of family life and creates indelible characters in the novel, which he's been working on, or at least ruminating over, since winning the 2008 Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction for his story collection "The Theory of Light and Matter."
That book, which also featured stories set in Houston, where he lived in the late '90s, established Porter as an insightful young writer to be reckoned with.
Nan Cuba, a professor of English at Our Lady of the Lake University, compares the 40-year-old author to writers such as William Merwin, Abraham Verghese and Anton Chekhov. As a visiting professor last year, Porter co-taught Cuba's graduate fiction workshop.
"Andrew is that rare individual who is both gifted and humble," Cuba said. "His stories evoke a sense of grace that honors the human experience. His characters are uniquely vulnerable, and their situations are complex, while his plots unfold subtly, the threads interwoven, the stunning results achieved through compassion and patience."
Says Trinity English department colleague Michael Soto, "Andrew is such an easygoing and genuinely fun colleague and friend that I'm always surprised by how observant and insightful and wise his fiction is."
A writer's entry into a work of fiction can occur anywhere along a plotline, but "In Between Days," as straightforward as its stately prose, begins at the beginning, with Elson sitting in that downtown hotel bar.
"I started writing that opening scene, and I wondered, 'Why is he divorced? Why is he hiding out, seeking anonymity? ... Why was his daughter expelled?'" Porter said during a interview in his office at Northrup Hall on the Trinity campus soon after fall classes started. "Those questions, especially the one with the daughter, kept me writing. These were all mysteries to me for a certain amount of time.
"If I had decided early on why the daughter was expelled," he adds with a laugh, "I'm sure I would have given it away."
What makes "In Between Days" so compelling is the characters. Each is holding something back from the others, carrying a secret, telling only half the truth most of the time. By withholding vital information, Porter is able to develop a sense of unease as thick as Houston smog.
"Andrew has wonderful sympathy for his characters, an exceptionally keen grasp of people's motivations and choices and thwarted ambitions," says his editor at Knopf, Diana Coglianese. "It may be a cliché, but the Hardings feel like real, living individuals."
Chloe, it turns out, had a difficult time acclimating to Stratham College. Then she fell in with a group of students from East Asia and the Middle East, campus radicals who get together and drink and smoke and hash out the world's problems. She falls in love with Raja, one of the leaders of the group. When he gets in trouble, she is collateral damage.
Chloe returns to Houston but soon goes missing. As her frantic parents' distress mounts — private investigators are engaged — the psychological suspense builds. Richard knows something, but he doesn't want to betray his sister, even when it dawns on him that she is taking steps that likely will lead to disaster.
"One of the things that always interested me about families is that even when people are close, they have secrets," Porter says. "I wanted to use these secrets to create tension. I wanted to portray them as a series of individuals. I never wanted them to be in the same scene — a family dinner — at the same time. I wanted to show that they all had their own lives, secrets and conflicts."
Indeed, various characters must deal with prostitution, drugs, unwanted pregnancy and loveless love affairs — not to mention law enforcement.
Barbara Ras, director of Trinity University Press and an award-winning poet in her own right, calls Porter "a spectacularly gifted writer" and "In Between Days" "a tour de force of a novel that will keep you breathlessly turning pages."
"I love the translucence of his writing," she said, "that rare sheen of a day on which the sun shines while it's raining."
Porter says the title of the novel, which perfectly reflects the personality of the book, as does the moody cover art of a young girl sitting on a rock wall overlooking the deep end of a swimming pool, wasn't settled on until after he'd turned in his manuscript to his publisher.
"I just called the file on my computer 'Houston novel,'" he said. "'Houston' was even considered as the title at one point. But I like 'In Between Days' because it fits totally with the fact that all these characters are in a transitional phase. They've gone from being a unit to being individuals, all trying to find a sense of home."
It's been a good year for Porter; he and his wife, Jenny Rowe, who also teaches at Trinity, welcomed a daughter, Charlotte, who's now 10 months old; he turned the Big Four-O; and, of course, he realized a lifelong dream and published his first novel.
"It feels good," he said. "It's been a long trip and a lot of work. The novel went through a lot of drafts. It just feels wonderful to hold it in my hands."
Late in the book, Richard tells his mother, "I was thinking that maybe we should let her be lost for a while." When Cadence presses him, he responds, "I mean just that. Maybe she's just not ready to be found."
Although Porter cautions, "It's certainly not a traditional happy ending," "In Between Days" ends on a relative up note.
"It's a lot more optimistic ending than you're thinking early on," he says. "I wanted to leave Chloe's destiny open."
Andrew Porter reads from and signs copies of "In Between Days" at two upcoming events: 7 p.m. Thursday at Trinity's Holt Center, 108 Oakmont Court. Also 3 to 5 p.m. Sept. 22 at the Twig Book Shop at Pearl Brewery, 200 E. Grayson St.
