W杯の会場で流れてる楽曲がどのように選ばれているかの記事が面白かったので、NY Timesのギフトリンク置いときます。
基本はFIFAのエンタメチームがトラックリストを作るんだけど、各国代表からも希望を提出してるそうで、記事の最後に全出場国の提出楽曲一覧とプレイリストがついててめちゃ楽しい。ボスニア・ヘルツェゴビナの選んだバルカンの伝統音楽とスカやダブが融合したバンドの曲とかもよかった。
各国からはスタメン発表時のSignature song／ウォームアップ／ゴール／勝った場合の試合後の4シーン用にリストを提出し、事前にFIFAの人権・反差別対策部門が審査するそう。なお、クロアチア戦勝利後話題になったWonderwallはイングランド代表からの提出リストには含まれておらず、FIFA側の選曲ということになる。
注目のカボベルデからは一曲だけで、同国フットボール連盟が制作した公式アンセム。記事中にはないけど、この曲について調べてみたらとても興味深かったので、別途ツリーに続けて書きます。

During Roy Keane’s time as Sunderland manager, when the club were struggling near the bottom of the Premier League, Chris Kamara recalls a chance encounter in a hotel lift in London.
Kamara says the meeting happened at the Marriott in Kensington, a hotel commonly used by football teams at the time.
He had entered the lift on the fourth floor, heading down to the bar.
When the lift stopped on the third floor, the doors opened and Keane stepped in.
Kamara says he was about to greet him, but Keane immediately lowered his head as the doors shut.
Moments later, the automated voice in the lift announced: “Going down.”
Kamara says he glanced at Keane and joked: “I think she’s talking to you, Roy.”
Controversial opinion Ilia Malinin has the skills but his program doesn't do it for me musicality wise. It's just cram in as many quads as you can. The Japanese skaters might not have the same skills but their musicality is way better #WinterOlympics

Slow hand clap for the idiots you have just discovered SOC codes that have been around for years ons.gov.uk/methodology/class…
Read this and weep. In order to restrict all Civil Service internships from August to working class school leavers, Labour has divided up jobs by class, deciding an £80K train driver is working class as is a plumber or electrician and therefore their children can be considered, but a police officer and prison officer are middle class and their kids will be barred.
Starmer loves a class war. Remember he said his dad was a toolmaker then The Telegraph revealed he actually owned the factory.
The public can see through this nauseating mixture of hypocrisy and humbug.

Wish I had never bought @SamsungUK washing machine, it's had nothing but problems, probably why it came with a five year warranty. Pile of utter shite and the repair booking site is down.
