  1. I'm not on here to try to communicate to famous people - only just to pass the time.
  2. Won't be able to avoid their early stuff either.
  3. Hate's a strong word, innit. I don't hate them, but I've got no issue roasting 'em now and again.
  4. They've got some decent songs, some good ones and some clunkers. But Fix You is bad. Like really bad. Worst of the decade bad.
  5. I saw them on the NME Brat Bus tour, taking the stage before Campag Velocet. Maybe one of these days I'll go and take them in again on El Pointo. I don't doubt the vibes and spectacle element of their live show is entertaining.
  6. Though I always thought that was an odd choice of song for Bowie to open his Glastonbury set with.
  7. Anybody heard anything about Lizzo's tour?
  8. It shows that his confession in the courtroom served its purpose and that Kim has forgiven him. That he's Jimmy again and that there's still a tiny (glowing) ember of love between them.
  9. I thought they nailed it. Perfect bittersweet ending and Odenkirk was fantastic.
  10. His voice was in decent shape. Better than it was 20 years back at any rate 😃
  11. True. It was shit. A terrible way to watch / experience a gig, jumping up and down like Zebedee. Evidence that it was meaningless? People would do it to Scooby Snacks.
  12. Gimme a documentary about the Gathering of the Juggalos.
  13. Well sorry if it rubs you the wrong way that Woodstock was the original peace and love festival. I guess Country Joe & The Fish aren't good enough to headline Glastonbury despite playing to 200,000 people on Yasgur's Farm.
  14. Been a rough summer for big 90s rock bands attempting to play the central belt - GNR, RHCP and RATM all cancelled at relatively short notice.
  15. I'll probably go, but it probably won't be that much cheaper than the RATM ticket...
  16. I know the singles charts don't mean what they once did and they're not the only metric by which success can be judged. But it didn't dent the Top 100.
  17. First Aid Kit: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChJ1OIQsB4_/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
  18. Photoshop of El Pointo smoking a cigarette.jpg
  19. We had rickets, rations and Archaos on the Pyramid Stage roof instead of Macca - but we were happy.
  20. See - for me Pixies are a band whose live act - and thus reputation overall - is diminished by the fact that it's so utilitarian and unexpressive.
  21. Yup - rose tinted spectacles. Like racist aunties on Facebook sharing poems that lament the demise of corned beef and unsliced bread, the arch-nostalgists overlook all the positive progress and most of the things they keep banging on about missing still happen.
  22. Watched the Kim episode and the diner episode of The Sandman one after another. Holy smokes - what a double bill.
