Dub Pistols more like D@b Down Pistols imho

Faithless moved to Friday isn't a surprise.

Any recommended sleeping mats/ blowup mattresses for a larger body type that don't break the bank?
Not a super cheap option but I've had a Thermarest Prolite for about 15 years and couldn't fault it.

There'll be plenty of them around.

Might be more to do with their agent / management. If they're currently seeking representation then maybe their usual avenues are starting to dry up. Not sure if they'll be up in Edinburgh this year.

FFS having to edit every post I make to fix the pronouns.

I'm sure Toby Young and the Free Speech Union have already rallied to the cause.

Also keep smirking at the general response to the initial album being ‘this is too long’ and then a whole second part dropping, although seems like she’s done exactly as she undoubtedly hoped and broke a whole bunch of streaming records on the first day.
Looking more and more like a tactical faux pas- folk didn't have enough time to digest the album proper before the second tranche arrived - and whether deserved or not the latter 15 tracks will always have an air of also rans about them. She should have put a bit more breathing space between them.

For further context, there's a long post halfway down this thread from someone who was there at the time

As noted elsewhere Currie can be aggressive to audience members and seems to have some other sketchy behaviours, but I dont think this is something they should lose their livelihood over.

Yeah that Afriquoi slot popped off. I'd seen them on Truth Stage previously and it was a bit quiet, but WH slapped.

Gossip are headlining a stage

Yes, they can be abusive to audience members in a way that can cross a line
-
There was a bit of interesting discussion on the night in Soho Theatre itself on cookdandbombd when it happened.
As someone who's stirred Currie's wrath in the past for not being sufficiently laudatory in my response to their act - more than once as it happens - there probably is some complexity here. But in the main I think they've been hard done by.
-
Seems like it is true, though
-
Saw them in Edinburgh a couple of weeks back - great fun

I’d opt out on most artists bonus tracks. 95% should be billed as ‘not good enough to be on the album’.
It's a decent rule of thumb for sure, but this woman has left some absolute stormers off her main album.
In the old world maybe most of them would probably have wound up as b-sides, but that's obviously a moribund concept.
Not saying that there's not an argument for keeping a stockpile handy and not releasing everything you record, but - she also doesn't do that - hence all these Vault tracks. Probably at some future point more tracks will surface from this period.
Just massively prolific. She's like Robert Pollard.

If anybody needs bonus tracks after 31 new songs then they have issues.The bonus tracks are all taken from the extra 15 that arrived after the main album - and noone buying the limited variants knew that that was about to happen.

Time Magazine at the start of the year
Fair - but Google suggests it was her first interview in 4 years, which is still sufficiently intermittent to suggest most outlets have nothing to lose by taking the gloves off.
Unless you count incurring the wrath of the fanbase - which surely doesn't matter that much to an embittered music journo.

I know she’s not the only one, but I think it’s evil to release 4 versions of the same CD/LP where the difference is just the front photo.
Not defending it, cos it is a grift, but this time they do all have different bonus tracks on them.

they are scared of being cut off by her team, she's big business.
Not seen any interviews with her for a while. Years maybe.
NME gave it a kicking fwiw, even though they're more of a K-Pop news aggregator than much else these days.

This year our tickets were secured by our least prepared mate who arrived into the fray at 9.30 and got in on his first click.
First Glastonbury in 10 years - what's new?!
