VMP Records Presents: “Cog Rats” by Young Tucci

While a disaster on the pitch, the Sporting KC game produced what could only be described as a series of deranged ideas that we followed like a podcasting verion of Alice down a rabbit hole of insanity.  It all began as a hilarious series of big screen typos and names, and then quickly morphed into some patented VMP riffing. To relay the tale you have to cast your mind to the time-honoured tradition that is birthday wishes and group...

In the Pulitzer-esque writing of the South Bar Report, I remember distinctly very late in the game, after Bendik made a very good save, a look, or glare – well it was something.  Screen...

South Barstool Report : New York Red Bulls v Toronto
