Heard an unreliable rumour that Aurora is one of the headliners this year.

It’s been 10 years since these guys put out a decent album. RIP 🪦

Well, in fact you're the one that's going against the law and culture of the UK then, not Islamic football players. The Civil Rights Act 1964 means that employers have to make accommodations for peoples religions, unless this would 'undue hardship' to the business. Our culture here in Britain is freedom of religion, you should be able to practice whatever faith you choose as long as it doesn't harm others.

An issue is that it's not just the government's of Malaysia and Indonesia that are anti LGBT, most of the population do not support the LGBT community. 91% of people surveyed in Indonesia say being gay isn't justifiable: https://www.equaldex.com/region/indonesia For this reason it would've been better just to say at the gig 'we hear all our Malaysian LGBT fans and support them', rather than with the massive speech and kiss Unfortunately if you take the attitude 'if you don't like it, don't go there', then you can't visit many different cultures- basically just north west Europe, Canada, Australia, NZ. This shows the plight of LGBT people in most developing countries and the ignorance of The 1975 to think that Malaysia is an anomaly in not supporting gay people. I have no doubt that their heart was in the right place though.

i guess it’s just a response to ‘they don’t have the catalogue’

It doesn’t seem that different to me. It still seems he’s been exhibiting predatory behaviour to people a lot younger than him- something we’ve seen too many times from male celebrities. Evidence like that mentioned in this article is pretty damning: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66165766.amp

Yes, clearly The Sun doesn’t care about the victims, only making drama. ultimately if the accusation and the leaked conversation are true then it’s his own predatory behaviour that’s caused it though.

I don’t think there’s anyone more damaging it could have been for the BBC (apart from like David Attenborough) or for people’s trust in the news in general.

If looking at nearby towns/cities I’d go with Stirling over Dundee, it’s half an hour closer on the train and the nicer town imo. with towns you could also go Linlithgow, Falkirk etc

The 24/7 bus to the airport also leaves within 10mins walk of Murrayfield

I'm slowly getting through the latest album, kind of listening repeatedly to the tracks that stand out to me rather than listening from start to finish. Flowery days, I met an angel, True love, To be honest, I feel like an angel. But does anyone else find these Madonna features unlistenable?

Depeche Mode at 6/1 are the only decent odds there

Wow, report that to Twicktes and ask for a refund (you’ll probably still be able to keep the ticket). Tickets are supposed to be sold at face value there

What're peoples favourite albums/'mixtapes' of theirs? i still think Tape Two is the best thing they've done. It's short and simple in terms of instrumentation, but has limitless depth.

Defenders are a liability for being reasonably valuable, but also piss easy to steal- either the whole car or in bits as above.

I saw them in 2013 after hearing their first mixtapes. I had Tape Two on my mp3 player lol. It was in a tent stage and for the first few tracks there was only three of us in the audience. It was me, my mate, and Big Jeff Johns. Good progress for some guys from Leith eh

New James Blake track is decent. More like what he used to put out 12+ years ago

just have a designated 'people with flags' area at the back of the field

Do all you guys work for the NHS then?

I feel we need to bring in the wisdom of Liam Payne on Will Smith. "There were three losers in one fight. She had bad hair, being Lana. They didn't want to do what they had to do, being Glastonbury. And he did nothing, being Colorblindjames."

Thanks for the info- any word on why it’s not on iPlayer? And why would vaping result in a fine?

I don't think so, I've been checking since it was broadcast and it's never showed up.

So what's the craic with this- is every set that was broadcast live now on catch up iPlayer, except Lana Del Rey?

I think it's also caused by QOTSA, Alt J, and Phoenix having a pretty large fan overlap. So you've basically got a choice between one of three alt/indie bands and Elton John

RIP. Miss you Big Man. Gone but not forgotten.
